The governor also sympathized with the parents of three-year old Master Ibrahim Zulu who sustained injuries in the crash. He added that the accident, which happened shortly after the children had just left home for school and bidded their parents bye, was quite unfortunate.
“As a government, we cherish our young ones and we would continue to do everything to keep them out of harm’s way, hence our various safety advocacy programmes. This sad incident, notwithstanding, efforts shall be intensified towards making the roads and indeed everywhere safer for the populace, especially the young vulnerable ones”, the governor added.
Three pupils reportedly lost their lives in the crash as they were being driven to school in the school bus while three-year old Ibrahim Zulu sustained injuries.
