Kakamega, Trans Nzoia residents use tyre tube to cross dangerous River Nzoia

River Nzoia has no bridge which inspired Patrick Wafula (right) and his friends to come up with a tube floater which they use in transporting goods and persons across the river for a small fee. However, residents of Likuyani and Kiminini sub-counties have called on leaders to intervene and put up a bridge which will connect the two. [Photo: Chrispen Sechere]

Residents of Kakamega and Trans Nzoia have asked the two counties to put up a bridge across River Nzoia.

The original bridge, known as Mfunje that connected the two counties at Likuyani and Kiminini sub-counties, was washed away six years ago.
