Farmers have raised concerns about the poor state of roads as they prepare for the maize harvest. Heavy rains in the region have rendered most feeder roads impassable.

The concerns come as the county administration embarks on rehabiliting feeder roads linking most of the farms to market centres. They expressed fears that it would be difficult for them to transport their produce from the farms if the roads were not worked on as a matter of urgency.
