Grief in Lugari as Doctor and Wife Killed in Fatal Road Accident are Laid to Rest

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale joined fellow comrades, friends and families at Matete Grounds for a requiem mass in honour of former teacher Mr. Solomon Otimo and his wife, and their colleagues and family members who perished in a grisly road accident along the Eldoret-Nakuru Highway on 31st October.

Khalwale said words cannot express the pain of losing people with whom they shared friendship, learning and professional journeys and moments.

He said the victims were not just teachers and colleagues, but mentors, parents and pillars of the community.

The senator said the teaching fraternity has lost educators who shaped many lives through discipline, hard work and commitment.

He led mourners in honouring and remembering the departed.

Those honoured were Mwalimu Dr. Solomon Otimo of Maturu High School, Christine Mecha Otimo of St. Mukasa Boys High School, Madam Sarah Otanga Ombacho, Head of Institution at Lumani, and her daughter Camelita Ombacho.

Others were Madam Janet Adabwa, Head of Institution at Chamavere Comprehensive School, Mary Mwikali and Harriet Khasoa.

Khalwale said the loss has left a deep void in families, schools and the entire community.

He prayed that God grants their families, friends and the entire teaching fraternity strength and comfort during the difficult time.

He urged mourners to support the bereaved families and to cherish the memories left behind.

The senator also called for road safety and urged drivers to be careful.

Khalwale concluded by praying that the souls of the departed rest in peace.
