The Oria-Riat bridge that connects Homa Bay and Migori collapsed Wednesday morning after heavy rains, disrupting movement between the two counties. The bridge on River Kuja connects Kanyikela in Homa Bay and Kanyamkago in Migori. Harrison Aboo and Joram Okola called on the Homa Bay and national governments to reconstruct the bridge as fast as possible. The bridge also serves students learning at Otange Primary School, Otange Secondary School and Minyere Secondary School. The administrator said residents want leaders from Homa Bay and Migori counties to put up a footbridge across River Kuja to ease movement of people.
