“Poverty is created scarcity”
Wahu Kaara, point 8 of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, 58th
annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
The kinds of transport
available include bicycles, taxi motor bike and public service vehicles for
easy communication to various destinations. The means chosen depends on the
distance and where the person is going and the type of transport used. Bicycle
taxis and motor bikes are the most characteristic means of transport in the
area. They charge a minimum € 0.17 per kilometre. The wet seasons restrict the
use of the bicycle taxis which used more during dry season. A vehicle costs
passengers €0.34 per km. They tend to be used on the better roads, though some
operate on bad roads as well.
The roads in the rural areas
some are seasonal and murram roads.
During the wet seasons, most
of the roads in the project area are impassable due to the mud etc. and people
have to walk long distances. Pickup are also widely used for transportation.
During the rainy seasons the transportation of farm produce becomes difficult
if not impossible.
