    "content": "The pupils were returning from a trip in Mombasa when their bus collided with a truck at Kanginga bridge, about 1km from Mwingi Town on Thika-Garissa Road at around 10 p.m. and not 11 p.m. I was at the scene of the accident. Eight pupils died on the spot. Two others succumbed to injuries on their way to hospital while one died in the hospital. In total, 10 pupils died. Four pupils were referred to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) for specialised treatment. A total of 26 pupils were injured in the accident and treated at Mwingi Level 4 Hospital. I am aware that 23 of them were discharged. The rest remain admitted in hospital. Among the pupils who passed on, seven were from Mwingi Central Constituency, one from Mwingi North Constituency, another one from Manyatta Constituency and another from Rongai Constituency. The likely cause of the accident, after we went to the scene, was the narrow nature of the road where heaps of murram have been left by the contractor who is repairing the road."
