Else where residents of Magumu in Kinangop Nyandarua County are in shock after a local farmer drowned in one of the rivers following heavy rains currently pounding the area.
The middle aged man was on his way home when he was washed away by the raging waters while crossing a bridge on Sunday evening.
According to a local leader James Kamau, the area had gone for months without rains with all rivers drying up.
He said that heavy rains in the nearby Aberdare forest saw the rivers flood adding that the deceased was not aware that the water in the seasonal river had risen sharply before crossing.
“He left the area trading center after watching a football match accompanied by a colleague but he was the first to cross the river only to be swept away,” he said.
Njabini Deputy OCPD Charles Rotich confirmed the incident adding that the body was recovered on Monday morning 10kms from the scene.
“We have managed to recover the body and taken it to Naivasha mortuary and this is outright a case of drowning following the ongoing rains,” he said.
