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.
