[8:22 PM, 3/9/2026] kweyu: “I am deeply saddened by the tragic accident that occurred last night at Malaha Junction in Webuye, where several lives were lost and others injured.
According to reports, the first accident involved a motor vehicle and a motorcycle rider. As members of the public gathered at the scene, a trailer approaching the area rammed into the crowd, leading to the heartbreaking loss of at least 14 lives and leaving several others nursing injuries.
On behalf of the people and the County Government of Bungoma, I extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones in this devastating incident.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this extremely difficult time. May the Good Lord grant you strength and comfort, and may the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace.
I also wish a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured and are currently receiving treatment in our hospitals.
We stand with you and pray for your quick healing.
This unfortunate tragedy is a painful reminder to all road users to exercise extra caution, especially during this rainy season when poor visibility and slippery roads increase the risk of accidents. I urge motorists to drive carefully, observe traffic rules, and remain vigilant at all times to safeguard their lives and those of other road users.
May God protect our people and keep our roads safe.
𝐇.𝐄 𝐑𝐭.𝐇𝐨𝐧.𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐚,
𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲”.
