Patrick Wafula ferries his 'passengers' across River Nzoia in Lugari constituency for a small fee. This is a risky mode of transport and residents from Bungoma and Kakamega have appealed to their respective county governments to construct a bridge for them. [PHOTO: CHRISPEN SECHERE/STANDARD]

KAKAMEGA: For residents of Kakamega and Bungoma counties, crossing River Nzoia is not an exercise for the faint-hearted.

There once was a bridge but it was destroyed by warring communities during the 2007-2008 post election violence and it is yet to be replaced.
