Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Villagers in Maramba-Pfungwe, a traditional ZANU PF stronghold in Mashonaland East Province are unhappy with the slow progress in the rehabilitation of the Murewa-Madichecha road which began several years ago.<\/p>\n

The villagers expressed their frustration over the lack of progress on the road during a visit to the area by the Transport and Infrastructure Development parliamentary portfolio committee.<\/p>\n

A female villager told the Members of Parliament that the Government is ignoring the road which has resulted in the underdevelopment of the area. She said:<\/p>\n

We thought by this time we would be enjoying travelling along this road like any other citizen.<\/p>\n

The truth is nothing is being done at all to upgrade this Madichecha road. The bridges are a disaster.<\/p>\n

Since 1980 when we attained independence there has been no meaningful road rehabilitation in this area.<\/p>\n

We have been seeing contractors being dispatched here on the pretext of upgrading the road but there is no progress at all.<\/p>\n

The villagers are asking why the government which they voted for is failing to honour them. We will remove the MPs from power thinking that they are failing.<\/p>\n

But the truth is that the government is ignoring this road which is crucial to us.<\/p>\n

Maramba-Pfungwe MP Tichaona Karimazondo (ZANU PF) told the parliamentarians that Madichecha road last got attention in 1990.<\/p>\n

Transport Portfolio committee chairperson Oscar Gorerino said Government officials have been lying that progress is being made yet there is nothing on the ground. Said Gorerino:<\/p>\n

The reports that we get in parliament from the Transport Ministry indicate that this bridge is completed, they lie to the President that there is positive progress on this road.<\/p>\n

We have come here to witness it so that we see who is lying \u2013 the government officials or you the villagers.<\/p>\n

We will see who is responsible for this delay, this is the same thing in Mukumbura, there is no progress at all as compared to the reports we get.<\/p>\n

Headman Tsiga from Maramba Ward 16 urged the government to investigate the contractors and make them account for the disbursements.<\/p>\n
