On Saturday morning 19th August 2023, Sema Sacco Mbukoni KCP 143V matatu was involved in devastating accident in Kalamba Kibwezi around 1 p.m. It was carrying passengers from Mutomo to Nairobi.
It is reported that four people have been reported to have lost their lives so far while 11 of them are still undergoing treatment at Kibwezi Sub-County Hospital. One of the survivors at the hospital who was seated at the front seat with driver claimed that the driver had complained feeling sleepy while at syiembeni, a few kilometres to the scene of the accident.
The bus lost control and left the road, heading to the roadside and falling. It is indeed sad news to hear knowing the hard time the bereaved families are in this time. A 15 months baby was one of the survivors of the accident who lost her mum. His father speaking to Ngoso News on Sunday explained how he came to learn of the accident noting how the loss of his wife has left him devastated.
At Pilgrim Meditations, we express our deepest condolences to the families that lost their loved ones in the accident. May Good Lord comfort their hearts in this difficult moment of sorrow. We are praying that He may continue to be provider in the great hole left by those ones who lost their lives.
We have this hope that death no longer has power over Christians. It has been defeated by Jesus and one day, we shall resurrect to never die again. How blessed shall it be? But when? When Jesus who loves us shall come again.
