KeNHA inaonya madereva dhidi ya kutumia sehemu iliyozimwa na mafuriko ya Barabara ya Kitale-Morpus

Mamlaka ya Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) imetoa onyo kwa madereva kuepuka sehemu ya Chapareria-Morpus kwenye Barabara ya Kitale-Morpus kutokana na mafuriko. Sehemu hiyo, iliyokadhaa takriban 1 km kutoka Morpus, imefungwa na haifai kwa magari, na hivyo inazuia trafiki kati ya Chapareria na Sebit kuelekea Lodwar. Madereva wamehimizwa kutumia njia mbadala.

Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) imetoa taarifa rasmi Jumapili, Machi 22, kupitia Mkurugenzi Mkuu wake Luka Kimeli, ikionya kuhusu usumbufu wa trafiki kwenye Barabara ya Kitale-Morpus. Sehemu ya Chapareria-Morpus imezimwa na mafuriko, ikifanya safari kati ya Chapareria na Sebit kuelekea Lodwar kuwa hatari kwa magari. Taarifa hiyo ilisema: “KeNHA inatakia kujulisha umma kuwa sehemu ya Chapareria-Morpus, takriban 1 km kutoka Morpus kwenye Barabara ya Kitale-Morpus, imefungwa, na hivyo trafiki kati ya sehemu za Chapareria na Sebit kuelekea Lodwar haifai kwa magari.” Madereva wamehimizwa kuwa makini na kufuata maagizo ya maafisa wa polisi na marshals wa trafiki walio eneo hilo. Wanaotoka Lodwar wamependekezwa kutumia njia ya Marich Pass-Nakuru kama mbadala. KeNHA inafanya kazi kurejesha ufikiaji katika eneo lililoathiriwa na inaomba uvumilivu kutoka kwa watumiaji wa barabara. Onyo hili linatokea wakati nchi inakabiliwa na mvua za mvua nzito zinazosababisha mafuriko kwenye barabara kadhaa. Tofauti na hilo, Wizara ya Mambo Ndani iliripoti kuongezeka kwa kasi ya maji kwenye Mto Kipchorian na hivyo kuharibu Daraja la Kabunech. Pia, onyo limetolewa dhidi ya kutumia sehemu ya Barabara ya Eldama Ravine–Maji Mazuri–Molo kutokana na mafuriko, na njia mbadala zimependekezwa. Idara ya Hali ya Hewa ya Kenya ilionya wiki iliyopita kuwa mvua nzito zitaendelea hadi Jumanne, Machi 24, katika maeneo mbalimbali ya nchi.
