Popular musician Willy Paul has expressed his anger over the deplorable condition of Katani Road in Syokimau, threatening to enter politics if necessary to address the issue.
Using his social media platform, the artist criticized Mavoko MP Patrick Makau for failing to improve the road, despite persistent complaints from residents. He accused the legislator of neglecting his duty and called for immediate action.
“The state of Katani Road is unacceptable. It needs proper reconstruction, not quick fixes. The funds are there, so do your job!” he stated emphatically.
The artist, known for his outspoken nature, warned that continued inaction could lead to consequences for the MP in the next election.
“For too long, the people have suffered. If you do not take action, be warned—you could be voted out! If it comes to that, I am ready to step in and challenge you in 2027. The people deserve better.”
After receiving responses regarding the legal complexities of removing an MP, he later clarified that recalling the MP was the more viable course of action, stressing that leaders should not be allowed to sit idly while citizens endure poor infrastructure.
“There may be no impeachment mechanism for an MP, but recalling is an option. We cannot allow leaders to relax while the people continue to struggle. Katani Road must be fixed.”
The musician’s remarks reflect the broader frustration among Syokimau and Mavoko residents, who have long endured unfulfilled promises concerning infrastructure. Many locals have voiced their grievances about the deteriorating condition of the road, which affects daily commutes and economic activities.
Residents have consistently complained about the road’s impact on transportation, with drivers facing constant damage to their vehicles and businesses suffering due to the difficulty in moving goods and services efficiently. The calls for action have been ongoing, with previous pledges from authorities yet to materialize into meaningful change.
As dissatisfaction grows, some community members have welcomed the artist’s vocal stance, viewing it as an opportunity to hold their elected leaders accountable. Others have questioned whether a musician stepping into politics would make a difference, but the core issue remains—the demand for better infrastructure.
The pressure is now on the current leadership to respond and provide tangible solutions. The state of Katani Road has reignited debates on service delivery and the responsibility of elected officials to fulfill their campaign promises.
With elections still a few years away, the push for improvement continues, and residents hope that the renewed focus on the issue will result in real action rather than just political talk. Whether or not the musician follows through with his political aspirations, his message has resonated with many who seek lasting change.
