A former Kenyan minister has called on religious institutions to assist children who lost their parents in a fatal bus crash near Salama. The incident, which occurred on a rural road, resulted in multiple fatalities, prompting the former Interior Cabinet Secretary to appeal for community support. The official emphasized the need for churches to monitor affected families and provide ongoing care for the children beyond the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.
The crash, which took place in the early hours of the morning, involved a public transport vehicle carrying passengers from a nearby town. Local authorities confirmed that the bus overturned, leading to a significant number of casualties. Emergency services responded swiftly, but the severity of the incident left several families in distress.
This is not the first time Salama has been linked to a tragic event. In previous years, the area has experienced similar road accidents, often due to poor infrastructure and lack of safety measures. The recent incident has reignited calls for improved transportation systems and increased community engagement in disaster response. The former minister’s appeal highlights the role of religious organizations in providing emotional and financial support to vulnerable groups.
