The New Bondo Bus Park represents a significant development in the town's transport sector. The facility currently under construction started last year August and is expected to be ready in the next two months with over 75% done. The project done by Bondo Municipality and the Siaya County Government embodies a transformative vision aligned with Governor James Orengo's 9-Point Agenda, which gears towards sustainable development and economic empowerment for the public. According to the site foreman, Engineer Robert Orinda of Punjani Constructions, the park positioned right in town, for accessibility, is expected to serve 120 matatus and buses on daily basis. The park, which has been done with the best materials to meet the standards, reflects a commitment to proper service delivery by the municipality. With well-organized sections, the park will accommodate municipal and county offices, stores and washrooms to guarantee comfortability of travelers and safety of their luggage.
The new bus park will facilitate the transport sector, ensures proper town planning, and gives spaces for traders in the park. The residents are very positive and hoping the park will change the entire face of Bondo Town, expressing their excitement about the projects by the municipality.
"The park will create a lot of employments like right now, we use the town residents for construction, and as such, many people will obtain their daily bread here once it is operational – traders and loaders among others. Expect more opportunities," added Eng. Orinda. The construction team thanked the Bondo Municipality Manager, Mr. Philip Mbindyo for always ensuring that all construction activities run smoothly – for instance, availing of materials in good time has helped achieve the construction goals.
The development project is part of a broader effort to strengthen the economic framework of Siaya County. The County Government of Siaya is committed to ensuring the project is completed to the required standards, reflecting its dedication to improving the quality of life for residents through strategic infrastructure investments. By enhancing public transportation, Siaya County aims to position itself for sustained economic growth and improved service delivery. This holistic approach to development not only boosts the local economy but also fosters a more vibrant and connected community, ultimately benefiting all residents. The focus on timely and high-standard project completion underscores the administration's resolve to create a more prosperous and efficient county, paving the way for future advancements and a higher standard of living for everyone in the region.
