Enhancing Infrastructure: Addressing Drainage Concerns on the Nandihills-Kamkong Road

02 Jan 2024

In the pursuit of sustainable development, the enhancement of infrastructure plays a key role in ensuring the well-being and convenience of the community. Recently, during my inspection of the Nandihills-Kamkong road, I had the opportunity to engage with the local residents and address their concerns, particularly related to drainage issues. The residents had brought these concerns to my attention, expressing their worries about the potential impact on their daily lives. Acknowledging the significance of their feedback, I am pleased to announce proposed changes to the drainage system, which I believe will contribute to the overall improvement of the road.

The residents' concerns primarily revolved around the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing drainage system along the Nandihills-Kamkong road. With the upcoming completion of the road construction, the timely resolution of these drainage issues is crucial to ensure the long-term functionality of the infrastructure. During my inspection, it became evident that certain adjustments were indeed necessary to address the concerns raised by the community.

In response to the concerns raised by the residents, I am pleased to announce a series of proposed changes to the drainage system along the Nandihills-Kamkong road. The adjustments aim to enhance the overall performance of the drainage infrastructure, ensuring that it can effectively manage water runoff and prevent potential flooding issues. The proposed changes include:

1. Expansion of Drainage Capacity: Increasing the capacity of existing drainage channels to accommodate a higher volume of water during heavy rainfall, reducing the risk of flooding.
2. Improved Drainage Slope: Adjusting the slope of the drainage system to facilitate better water flow, preventing stagnation and minimizing the risk of erosion.
3. Installation of Additional Drainage Outlets:  Introducing strategically placed outlets to disperse water efficiently and minimize the impact on surrounding areas.
4. Implementation of Erosion Control Measures:
 Incorporating erosion control measures such as vegetation and erosion-resistant materials to protect the integrity of the drainage system.

Recognizing the urgency of these adjustments, I am committed to ensuring that the proposed changes are implemented promptly. The road is scheduled to be signed off next week for the contractor to be paid, and I assure the residents that the drainage improvements will be completed before this deadline. This commitment reflects our dedication to delivering a high-quality and sustainable infrastructure project that meets the needs and expectations of the community.

The proposed changes to the Nandihills-Kamkong road's drainage system underscore our commitment to addressing the concerns raised by the residents. By prioritizing the enhancement of infrastructure in response to community feedback, I strive to create a more resilient and reliable road network that serves the best interests of the people. As I   move forward with these improvements, I am confident that the Nandihills-Kamkong road will stand as a testament to the collaborative efforts between the government and the community, fostering a positive and constructive relationship for future projects.
