The Olgirra Bridge reminds one of the native Musangairo river located between Illasit and Entarara that saw the loss of lives in the recent past due to the heavy rains that flooded the river from as far as the neighboring country Tanzania. After years of complains and calls, the Musangairo river was repaired marking an end to the struggle of permeability and loss of lives.
The same predicament faces the residents of Olgirra where its locals are in uproar against the neglect of the development of the bridge blaming the local sub-county for focusing too much on other projects and not the bridge. Floods have made made the bridge impassable leaving many passenger and cargo vehicles stranded. The residents are calling up to the local leaders for help.
