A major bridge Kainuk linking to Turkana county has been washed by waters after heavy rains caused water levels to rise above normal.
Despite the the worse situation of an oil tanker that has already been washed off the bridge, Kenyan governemtn is taking time to respond, maybe waiting for a catastrophe.
Citizens have gone to condemn the issue online

President @UKenyatta, You are waiting for Kainuk bridge to kill people, fly there to organize a mass burial and prayer for the bereaved and then repair it? Why don't you direct @KeNHAKenya to act before we get there? @ahmednasirlaw pic.twitter.com/oeF4T4VYvG
