Heavy rains cause havoc in Teso North, Busia

TESO NORTH: Residents of Kamosing village in Teso North Sub County are living in fear following the extensive destruction of a key access road, severely damaged by ongoing heavy rains.

The residents are calling for urgent government intervention as runoff water continues to weaken the soil structure, triggering a massive collapse that has formed a deep and expanding gully along the road.

The road has already been rendered impassable to vehicles, forcing residents to use an alternative route that stretches over five kilometers to access essential services.

Those living near the affected section are now forced to descend into the gully to cross to the other side, exposing them to danger.

The continuous erosion has also begun encroaching on nearby farms, with sections of land already lost to the advancing gully.

Last week, a woman narrowly escaped serious injury after the section of land she was standing on collapsed while she was applying fertilizer on her farm adjacent to the road.
