Incredibly! $12m Bridge Collapses Two Weeks After Presidential Inspection
A bridge that is being constructed at a cost of $12m has collapsed. It is being constructed by the Chinese Overseas Construction and Engineering Company.
The bridge collapsed two weeks after the president visited the site to examine the ongoing work.
The construction of the bridge was approved after the event of August 30, 2014, when 11 people perished after a boat they had boarded capsized, killing everyone on board as they attempted to cross the river, Africa Review says.
The bridge, which is being constructed in Kenya’s Budalang’i Constituency near the border with Uganda, collapsed a fortnight after President Uhuru Kenyatta inspected it.
The cause of the collapse is yet unknown, though it is suspected that the construction was hurriedly done ahead of the president’s visit.
