In Kenya, a father and his son were on Wednesday evening crushed to death by a car carrying Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi at Olulung’a trading centre along the Narok-Mai Mahiu Road.
The distraught family of John Sanyo, 30 and his eight-year-old son Amos Kipkorir, recalled their last moments with the two.
“My husband decided to take an evening ride on his motorcycle with our son. They would usually do this, so it was not out of the ordinary,” said a tearful Caroline Chebet, Sanyo’s wife.
The accident occurred barely 500 metres from their home.
Police in Narok County have summoned Maangi and his driver Stanley Gitonga to record a statement on the incident that saw angry members of public burn the deputy governor’s official vehicle.
