Residents of Soweto and California villages in Lodwar town have expressed their concern over river Kawalase that has of late been flooding and breaking its banks. These floods have also engulfed the grave yard that lies 50 metres from the river. Speaking to us today, one of Soweto residents, John Alemu said that the place will be completely destroyed by the floods if action is not taken to control the waters. Mr. Alemu complained that floods have completely destroyed some people's settlements. Other facilities that are likely to be destroyed by the floods, if action is not taken, are: schools, churches, a hospital and the entire business community of Soweto and California. The residents of Soweto and California have suggested that the government build gabions to help control flood at River Kawalase.
