Residents of Nakuru West have demanded that a bridge be built across Molo River in Kapkures. They said the old bridge was swept away by floods, raising fears people might be swept away during heavy rains.

This has also forced many pupils to skip school. Residents say 20 people have drowned in the last two years while trying to cross the swollen river during the rainy season.
