Road accidents continue to claim the lives of numerous Kenyans on a daily basis across the country. The majority of these accidents are a result of human errors, such as driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless overtaking, overlapping, and overloading. Recently, a tragic accident involving a truck and multiple vehicles occurred in Londiani, resulting in the unfortunate loss of over fifty lives.
In response to this incident, a prominent Kenyan blogger, GK Malema, shared a viral post on his Facebook page featuring a helpless child grieving for his mother, one of the victims of the devastating Londiani crash.
The heart-wrenching post has prompted calls from Kenyans on social media for the government to provide counseling services to support the child during this difficult time.
Today, CS Kipchumba Murkomen visited the accident scene and assured all hawkers of their safety. He also revealed the government's plan to establish safety marketplaces for these traders. As we extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the deceased, we sincerely hope that their souls find eternal rest.
