26 KISUMU CRASH VICTIMS TO BE BURIED ON SATURDAY

The burial of 26 people who perished in a grisly road accident in Kisumu is scheduled for Saturday, August 16, in Koguta village, Nyakach. A committee overseeing the arrangements is working closely with the affected families to ensure the interment programme runs smoothly. Committee chairman Eng. Vincent Kodera said the government has taken over the entire programme and will meet the costs of mortuary bills, coffins, transport, and medical expenses for the 26 survivors admitted to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH). A requiem mass for the victims will be held on Thursday at Naki AIC Church in Nyakach, after which the bodies will be transferred to Koguta on Friday for a night vigil.
