Area leaders indifferent to the plight of learners swimming across river to school

Learners at Petros and Bumini Primary schools in Mumias East constituency have resorted to swimming across river Lusumu to reach their schools. The makeshift bridge that facilitated their movement to the schools was swept away when the river burst its banks in December 2019.

While responding on the matter, the area legislator, alongside other leaders affiliated to Kakamega county administration, shoved the responsibility for restoring the bridge to the parents.
