Gachagua promises new bus for Kapsabet Boys school after accident that killed teacher, student

The bus that had 61 students, one teacher, and a driver on board rolled at Patkawanin area on the Kabarnet-Marigat highway in Baringo County.

DP Gachagua paid a visit to the school on Sunday morning to mourn the unfortunate demise of the two, expressing confidence that those nursing injuries will soon be in good shape.

"I am very encouraged that those at Eldoret Hospital are making good progress and I have been assured that they are out of danger. The ones in Baringo have also been attended to and we are very optimistic that later in the day they will be able to join you," said Gachagua.

"Mine is to encourage you to continue working hard, being focused and to have an ambition that one day you will stand where I am standing."

To replace the written-off bus, Gachagua said he will talk to his boss President William Ruto, an alumni of the institution, to gift the school another one.

"I will talk to him later in the day and I am sure that the President will give you another bus to replace that one so that you are able to continue with your tours," he said.

The second-in-command urged drivers, particularly those ferrying school children, to be vigilant to avert similar unfortunate incidents.
