A Sh6 billion irrigation project in Homa Bay County has been blamed for flooding, which has forced 200 families out of their homes.
The families that hail from a number of villages in Central Karachuonyo location, Karachuonyo Constituency left their homes on Monday morning after heavy rains pounded the area causing River Awach to burst its banks.
They have now pitched tents at Simbi Kogembo Dispensary in Kogembo Sub-location, a situation that has put them in dire need of humanitarian aid.

Anyone who had gone bonkers or showed any signs of running mad, was alleged to be ‘filled with the power of the evil’. No one wanted to be associated with them, leave alone, visit their homes. For the religious ones, family members would gather and seek divine intervention or seek the services of Men of God.
And now, religious leaders from Homa Bay County have devised a solution to help the possessed ones. They drive the victims to Lake Simbi Nyaima in Central Karachuonyo for cleansing. The lake, it is believed, has powers to drive away evil spirits.
