‘Criminals damaging roads’

BY MIRIAM MANGWAYA
GOVERNMENT has accused “rogue elements” of damaging newly-refurbished roads to discredit the ongoing Emergency Roads Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 (ERRP2).

This follows complaints that road construction companies were doing sub-standard work resulting in the roads being damaged a few weeks after rehabilitation.

Government declared the country’s roads a state of state of disaster in February, before unveiling the ERRP2 programme.
