Eight people have died in a road accident at Murubara along the Mwea-Embu Highway in Kirinyaga County. According to Mwea-East Sub-County Police Commander Stephen Okal, the accident happened at around 6:00 am on Saturday. It involved a parcel truck which collided with a tuk-tuk that was heading towards Ngurubani, ferrying farm workers who were going to plant rice at the Mwea Irrigation Research Area. Residents have decried the poor state of that section of the road, which they claim has turned into deadly blackspot.
