Alfred Mutua, a governor in
Kenya, fell off a bridge while taking a selfie alongside Joash Maangi, his
deputy.
According to Capital News, a
Kenyan publication, both men who ended in a river were pulled out and taken to
Ogembo Hospital in Kisii county.
The newspaper said the incident
happened a few hours after the governor was lambasted for “county-trotting
while a bridge in his backyard, developed cracks”.
Although STAR, another Kenyan
publication, quoted reports on Mutua and his deputy bending to check the depth
of the bridge when the incident took place, Capital News said one of its
correspondents witnessed them taking a selfie on the bridge when they fell
over.
Kisii communication director
Maseme Machuka was quoted as saying the bridge was weak.
“The governor and DG were unhurt
in the incident and they went on to address residents before going for lunch,”
Machuka was quoted to have said.
He added that two journalists who
sustained minor injuries were taken to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital.
