It was an embarrassing collapse for Kenya's ruling party.
Just two weeks after an "inspection" by President Uhuru Kenyatta, a $12 million Chinese-built Sigiri bridge in Western Kenya collapsed before it was completed.
Built by the Chinese Overseas Construction and Engineering Company in Busia County, the bridge connects a region that has historically lacked government investment and development. Around a dozen people died on the river after a boat capsized while attempting to cross in 2014.
President Kenyatta's Jubileee Coalition has made infrastructure development a key pillar of its reelection strategy ahead of the coming presidential election.
My opinion
Dear Our Northern Brothers and Sisters you Must be Serious When it Comes to issues of your National Interest. The Notion of ''Huyu ni Mwizi Wetu'' will continue to haunt you. The responsible people should pay the price.
