A highschool student from St. Anthony Boys School, Kitale who was travelling back to school was among the casualties according to area Nyumba Kumi chairman John Kidula who stated that the trio were travelling on a Boda Boda when the truck hit them.
While condoling with the families, Kidula says the accident would be avoided if there were bumps in the area urging the ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works to ensure extension of roads and install bumps to avoid further accidents.
“We will not condone with the situation if our people keep dying in such manner. We will not agree if parents pay school fees and the students end up dying in such a horrific manner. I condole with the families of the dead,” Kidula lamented
“We appeal to the government to intervene and work on this road. This road is very narrow unable to accommodate large number of vehicles.”
“The Cabinet Secretary for Roads Kipchumba Murkomen is very conversant with the situation of this road. We request that this road be extended and re-worked on to enhance safety,” he appealed.
