He added it was a sigh of relief for commuters who had spend the night in the cold for over twenty four hours.

David adds that the calamity that has hit the region has caused panic even for motorists saying the number of vehicles plying the Kitale – Lodwar highway has drastically reduced may be due to fear of the unsafe bridge. The bridge is yet to undergo reconstruction.

Moreover, the death toll after the tragic landslides has hit 52, with residents urged to move from landslide prone areas. 22 people are still missing, as rescue efforts continue for the third day.
