Two people who went missing on Monday night after their vehicle was swept away by floods at Lengusuka River in Samburu East are yet to be found.
The man and a woman were travelling from Meru to Wamba town.
Relative Kennedy Lesowapir said, “We are not giving up until we find them, even if it's their
bodies."
Area MCA Lucas Lekwale said residents have complained that the river has claimed many lives since 2003.
He asked the national government to build a better bridge along the river to prevent future disasters.
Etes Amu, who has lost six relatives after they drowned in the river, said a bridge needs to be built urgently.

Police Commander John Karanja, who is leading the search team, said they are having a difficult time because
of siltation in the river.
"The bodies may be buried under silt that is washed into the river by floodwaters," he said
