What you need to know:

  • Mr Wambua asked locals living near rivers like Kawalase and Turkwel to move to higher grounds.
  • There has also been a shortage of fish in Lodwar town. 
  • This is after transport from Kalokol on the shores of Lake Turkana was disrupted.

A vehicle was Thursday swept away by water along the Lodwar-Kakuma road after the 100-meter wide Kawalase River broke it banks.

The seasonal river caused floods following heavy rainfall in most parts of Turkana, paralysing transport in the county.
