The aggrieved residents were not happy with the MCE's response to their protest when he [Mohammed Bashir] said road works were ongoing adding that the Assembly is fixing the deplorable roads.
He said the residents should have gone to his office first for a discussion before embarking on the protest.
"They should have gone to my office first to meet with me for a discussion before embarking on this action. Maybe they have started on the wrong foot. If they had come, I don’t think this demonstration would have gone ahead," he stated.
But the comments of the MCE did not go down well with frustrated residents and hooted at him until he left the area.
An aggrieved protestor said the demonstration was out of the frustration they have endured for years as a result of the bad roads in the community.
