The project, handled by PEACE Engineering Co., Ltd., has raised serious concerns as its pillars collapse, leaving locals questioning the construction quality.
An 18-meter bridge in Munam village in Mbengwi in the Momo Division of the North West Region built for 127 million FCFA, is already falling apart less than a month after completion. It is said that, in December 2024, a construction company, PEACE Engineering Co., Ltd. secured a contract to construct the bridge for 127 million FCFA. Shortly after completion, the pillars began failing, sparking outrage among residents.
The rapid deterioration has led to skepticism about how such a costly project could fail so quickly. Building a durable bridge requires proper engineering standards, yet this one, made with basic cement blocks, says comments suggests questionable methods. Local anger is growing as the structure weakens daily. Residents now fear using the bridge, calling for accountability from both the contractor and the authorities who approved the project. Meanwhile, the community waits for answers, wondering how 127 million FCFA resulted in a collapsing bridge.
The situation has called on serious concerns about construction standards and oversight in public projects. For now, the bridge remains a hazard, and the people of Munam are left demanding justice.
