Kyuso
district and Mwingi at large has several roads connecting different towns
within the locality.
One of the
major roads in the area is the Mwingi-Kyuso-Tseikuru-Usueni road. This road
since time immemorial has always given rise to debates due to its poor state. Transport
is a nightmare in the area.

The road is
currently under a snail-pace construction in an effort to link Meru town
through Usueni. Only 32km has been tarmacked so far. Residents are ready
politics in the whole thing especially associated with the former area MP and
Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka. “With his absence in an active political environment,
the road is bound to stop or diverted else from the original plan,” said one
resident who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
The other available
feeder roads within the locality that are also in dire state include Kora-Ngomeni
road, which connects Garissa – Nairobi highway through Kasten. Although it is
one of the most important roads that ease access of the residents to the main
road, it is impassable during rainy season. Others are Kyuso- Ngaaie- Nguni
road, Ghai- Katakani-Munguu road, Kyuso-Kimangao road, Kandwia- Kimangao road
and Mwanzingi- Mataka road.
Some of
these roads require bridges or drifts to make them passable. Along the Mwingi- Tseikuru,
main road, at Kamuw’ongo, there is need for construction of a bridge.
Generally,
the road network in Kyuso district is poor and requires urgent attention to
rescue residents from perennial nightmares.
