"We are committed to ensuring that our community thrives, and investing in our roads is a step in that direction." Ahero Street now stands as a testament to our commitment to better living conditions for all residents,” he stated.

Residents have echoed MP Yusuf's sentiments. A community leader, Kimani Wambui, expressed gratitude for the improvements, stating, “For years, we have struggled with potholes and flooding. Now, our children can walk to school safely, and local businesses can thrive without the worry of poor infrastructure.”

Despite the positive feedback, some residents raised concerns about the need for ongoing maintenance. “While the upgrade is fantastic, we hope that the authorities will ensure that the infrastructure is maintained. We’ve seen many projects fall into disrepair after their initial completion,” noted John Mwaura, a long-time resident of Pumwani.

As Kamukunji continues to develop, the upgrades to Ahero Street serve as a model for what can be achieved through community engagement and strategic planning. With residents expressing their approval, the future looks promising for ongoing infrastructure projects aimed at fostering urban growth and development.
