A dark cloud hung over the Mutyambua region in Makueni County yesterday after a swollen River Muooni swept away seven villagers on Thursday night as details about them emerged. Towns in Tana River have also not been spared as floodwaters keep rising towards Hola town. Kone-Hola road has been swept away and residents are using canoes to access Hola town. Roads executive Stephen Wachira said the road into Hola town faces the same fate, as floodwaters are flowing over the tarmac. Kenya National Highways Authority has since closed down the highways through Hola and Garissa, marking them a danger.
