Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has warned motorists against crossing Goye causeway due to the overflowing Lake Victoria. According to KeNHA, the situation is as a result of the heavy rainfall pounding the Nyanza region, affecting sections of the Lake Victoria basin. The authority further warned trucks against using the crossing as they evaluate mechanisms of undertaking works on the structure. On Wednesday, commuters were stranded for the better part of the day as they waited for the water levels to go down. "Procurement process is underway to solve the rising Lake Victoria water levels at that crossing," KeNHA said.
