Man swept by raging floods in Isiolo

The man was swept away alongside a motorbike he was riding on. 

According to Isiolo North OCPD William Kiambi, the boda boda had three occupants. They had earlier received a warning not to cross over the flooded road, but they refused to listen. 

The boda boda rider and one other passenger were saved from the raging floods following heavy rains in the region that began pouring on Wednesday night. 

A search for the man’s body and the motorbike is ongoing. 

Residents have decried the government’s reluctance to construct a bridge in the area, which is prone to floods.
