In a clip shared by several media platforms, a bus belonging to a local catholic church capsized as the driver tried to maneuver a flood river.
Reports indicate that 15 of those who passed on were members of the same family with church choir members also drowning in the sad ordeal.
After the incident many kenyans across the internet expressed varied views.
A huge number blasted the driver for under estimating the ranging waters, some also blasted him for his ignorance and risking so many lives.
The area governor Charity Ngilu also toured the accident scene where the kenyan Navy officials were helping recover bodies.
According to Ngilu it was sad ordeal and she was mourning with crying the families of all those who succumbed during the horrifying incident.
Nevertheless, many have named (Kangethe) the said driver as hero as he tried his best to save lives but nature thought otherwise.
Reactions
Lilian.. My heart goes to his family and friends. It’s so sad. I can no longer watch the video. I don’t think he had ill intentions, it was an unwise decision he made. Just as the people inside that bus made. One wrong and big decision make in life is to stay unsaved. If he was saved he goes to heaven. May we always stay ready.
Wanjiru… He is a hero the pressure from the passengers was too much that he atlast decided to cross he knew he was taking a risk but all in all may their souls rest in peace.
Maina… This man had refused to cross,got the pressure from the passengers may be rest well
