Two-year-old baby swept by floods near her homeA two-year-old girl is the latest victim of the heavy rains pounding Kakamega County and many other parts of the country. Triza Nechesa Mukusa drowned in a stream near her parents’ home at Muchanja village in Malava sub-county. “She was crossing the stream with others, but tripped and fell in the water,” said Alex Mukusa, the deceased’s father. And families living at Shitao on outskirts of Kakamega town said they were living in fear after heavy rains started washing away graves in which they have buried their loved ones. “Some houses have been brought down by the heavy rains and now some graves have started disintegrating,” said Clement Musoka, whose son’s fresh grave is on the verge of being swept away.
