On October 2018, a devastating road accident in Kericho claimed the lives of over 55 people, leaving a trail of grief and shock in its wake. The incident was further marred by the arrest of the owners of the bus involved, according to police reports.
Fast forward to 2020, when Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya flagged off a lorry at a site in Shinyalu, Kakamega County, where a Sh90 million water project was to be undertaken.
