A truck carrying some goods destined for Neno Boma on Monday blocked the road at Asumi, preventing vehicles such as ambulances from entering and leaving the district which has had no tarmac road since time immemorial.

People of Neno district through their council chairperson, Jeseph Chiphaliwali and Traditional Authority Mlauli have experienced disappointment with the vice president’s decision to hold the districts' reform meetings in the neighboring Mwanza district owing to bad road condition.

People of Neno district have asked government to consider constructing them a standard tarmac road, saying the current one is a threat to both people's lives and agricultural activities.
