President William Ruto has sent a message of condolence to the families of over 50 people who died in a road accident at the Londiani junction.
He said the death of innocent youths robbed the country of vital young talents that would have contributed immensely to nation-building.
“The country mourns with the families who have lost loved ones in a horrific road accident in Londiani, Kericho county. It is distressing that some of the fatalities are young people with a promising future and business people who were on their daily chores,” said Ruto.
In his own words, the head of state went on:
“We pray for the speedy recovery of all survivors; you are in our thoughts. We urge motorists to be extra cautious on roads, especially now that we are experiencing heavy rainfall.”
In his condolence message, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said the horrific road accident spells unspeakable loss to the nation.
“It is painful to lose loved ones at any age, especially in a tragic road accident like this. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost their loved ones and quick recovery to the survivors of this tragic road accident,” Gachagua said.
