In her message of condolence and comfort, Rachel Ruto expressed her sorrow over the incident that claimed the young lives, who were full of promise, dreams, and potential.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are deeply saddened by the loss of the young students from Dr. Aggrey Boys\u2019 High School in this tragic road accident in Taita Taveta County. Our love and prayers go out to the families and loved ones affected by this heartbreaking tragedy,\u201d the First Lady said.<\/p>\n
She quoted Psalms 46:1, which states, \u201cGod is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble,\u201d as she comforted the grieving families.<\/p>\n
Education CS Julius Ogambo also offered his condolences to the bereaved families, praying for God\u2019s grace and comfort.<\/p>\n
\u201cI extend my deepest condolences to the families, friends, and relatives of the deceased. We pray that God grants them the strength and fortitude during this difficult time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations suggest that the accident may have occurred after the bus experienced brake failure, causing it to lose control and overturn along the busy highway.<\/p>\n
The students had been sent home after a fire razed one of the school\u2019s dormitories on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The bus driver is among the two other individuals who died in the accident. Other passengers were rushed to Moi Referral Hospital in Voi for treatment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
