Dear Bungoma County Government,
I am writing to bring your urgent attention to a concerning situation along Mumias Road. There is a growing issue of individuals parking motorcycles and bicycles along the roadside, as well as driving along the wrong lane. These reckless behaviors pose serious dangers to the safety of road users and require immediate action.
I believe it is crucial to regulate and manage the traffic along Mumias Road in order to prevent potential disasters. The current situation has already led to chaos and confusion for passing drivers, and the risks associated with these behaviors cannot be ignored.
I kindly request that you take urgent measures to address this issue and implement a comprehensive plan to ensure the safety of all road users. This could include erecting traffic signs, providing clear instructions, and enforcing stricter regulations to discourage such behavior.
I trust in the commitment and responsibility of the Bungoma County Government to prioritize the safety and well-being of its residents and visitors. I believe that your prompt action will not only alleviate the immediate dangers but also set an example for other roads in the county.

Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Let us work together to make Mumias Road and, by extension, Bungoma County safer for all.
Thank you for your concern and support.
