Kirinyaga residents build bridge by themselves

In a separate story, residents in Togonye made joint efforts to build a bridge at River Kie in Kirinyaga after floods swept away the bridge.

The river killed three people who were attempting to cross it after a heavy downpour swept the bridge away, cutting off the link between Kutus and other nearby towns.

"We are gathered here as residents to build the bridge here today which has become a menace to the village. We have a burial on Tuesday for a woman who tried crossing the river and was swept away by floods," a resident said.

According to the residents, the road had been allocated funds, but later on, they learned the money had been directed to another county.
