Road carnage continues to claim many lives, and as a country, we must urgently address this menace.
We strongly condemn the reckless truck driver responsible for the tragic accident at Malaha Junction in Webuye Sub-County, Bungoma, which claimed 15 lives. More than 21 people are currently admitted to various hospitals, with two requiring urgent specialised treatment, and arrangements have been made for their referral.
The National Transport and Safety Authority must act swiftly to ensure such dangerous drivers are removed from our roads. Our courts must also take the growing recklessness on our roads seriously; those who endanger lives must face the full force of the law.
To Members of Parliament, we must tighten the rules and regulations governing the transport sector.
H.E. President Dr. William Ruto has assured government support to the bereaved families, while the County Government will cater for the medical expenses of all those injured.
A funeral committee has been formed, led by Webuye East MP Hon. Martin Wanyonyi Pepela and Bungoma Woman Representative Hon. Catherine Wambilianga, together with Deputy Governor H.E. Pst. Janepher Chemtai Mbatiany and Members of the County Assembly, to coordinate burial arrangements for the victims.
A Special Mass will be held on Monday, 16th March 2026, in Webuye Town to pray for the departed souls and wish a quick recovery to those still receiving treatment.
