Transport on the Mamboleo-Miwani road has been paralysed after part of the Kambogo-Guba bridge collapsed on Thursday night.

The bridge connects Kisumu East and Muhoroni Constituencies. It is also used by trucks transporting cane to Kibos and Chemelil sugar companies.

β€œIt rained heavily on Thursday. River Awach burst its banks. We found part of the bridge gone,” Mr Noah Oyu, a resident, said Friday.
