Baguga Bridge On Nzara Road Under Construction
The Baguga Bridge along Nzara road in Yambio, Western Equatoria State is currently being constructed. 24 April 2013 By Joseph Nashion YAMBIO, 25 April 2013 [Gurtong] -Martin Mizere said the bridge has made their children not to go to school for the last two weeks. Baguga is one of the Bomas in Yambio County along Nzara road due to the breakage of the bridge it has also hindered the access to the Bagagu Farmers Association from reaching the market with their farm product. “ We cannot wait for the state government to come down to help us, we have started if they want they will get us ahead but I have to thank Nelson Abas for his commitment with the community of Baguga,” he said. Nelson Abas who is a local contractor in the county stressed there is need to help out fix the feeder roads especially those that lead to farmers association in the county since they keep the food security at ease. Nelson said he has helped the boys who are volunteering in constructing the broken bridge with food and the tools to make the work easy and fast since it is rainy season and to allow the kids continue going for their studies adding that road is development without roads and good bridges you may have enough food then how do you transport them for access to the market. Nelson added that Babuga community has not received any access to service from the state government since because no car could cross due to the bridge conditions. He further said the government policy is to extend services to the community due to the current situation now in the country the government is not able to delivery and even maintain roads. He also stressed that poor roads brings insecurity to the community because that is where you can see criminals very activity as they know police cannot follow them on bad roads adding that access to health services is quiet another challenge to the community. Finally he urged the youth to join hands with those who have started the bridge construction and stop the thinking that government is the one using the roads they should be the one to repair as it is hindering their own children from going to school.
