The narrow and heavily bumpy Ahero-Kisii-Isebania road has claimed many lives. Because of the many, frequent accidents, most public transport vehicle operators had quit using this road, leading to limited transport services.
Over the years, the key road linking Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii and Kisumu counties deteriorated, almost killing economic activities in one of the fastest growing towns in Homa Bay – Oyugis.
Just two years ago, Oyugis town had a single drive lane cutting through it. There were no walkways. The centre was initially characterised by makeshift structures erected on both sides of the road.
