5 Year Old Girl Drowns In A Dam in Pokot

The minor is said to have gone to the dam to draw water when she slipped and drowned in the dam

 

Witnesses said the girl's mother had gone to the market only to come back and find her missing.

 

The body was found floating in the dam forcing the mother to go and remove it from the water.

 

Residents accused a local community group of constructing the dam without placing cover on the small dam thus exposing locals in danger

 

Area Chief John Sinja found himself on the receiving side when he tried to blame them for finding their own ways to draw water from the dam.

 

Sinja nonetheless promised to ensure that the dam is properly fenced to avoid loss of more lives.
