Vihiga Governor Dr Wilber Ottichilo launched road maintenance under labour-based program in the County in the February on Gamalenga – Nyangori Road in Tambua Ward. The program involved residents in renovation and maintenance of the roads to improve the road network in the County.

With a budget of 20 million the program was rolled out in the entire County and 150km  renovated. 3000 residents took part in the program for economic empowerment and ensured that roads were well maintained.
