The hospital had closed after River Nyamwamba burst its banks, gushing water to neighboring villages and cutting off transport in what seemed to be a repeat of the 2013 deadly floods that ravaged the area.
The investigation comes after a resident collapsed and died following a rumor that his wife had drowned in the flooding waters of River Kithakena. The deceased was identified as Lawrence Mulekya, 35, a resident of Maliba trading center in Maliba sub-county.
