Last moments of lecturer who died at waterfall
The death of Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology lecturer was a tragedy after moments of happiness, a Nakuru High Court heard. Joseph Simiyu, a farmer, testified on last moments of lecturer Irene Jepchumba before she died in a waterfall accident at Chokaa Falls in Molo River within Nakuru on July 6, 2018. Jepchumba’s lover Godfrey Kangogo is facing murder charges before Nakuru judge Joel Ngugi. Simiyu, who encountered the couple before the accident, testified that the two were happy as they approached the falls. Simiyu testified that he found himself in the river near the falls at about 5pm where he had gone to take a bath.

The Nakuru County government is set to lose over Sh17 million in monthly revenue from matatus that operate in close proximity of the town centre.
This after High Court Judge Teresia Matheka on Tuesday temporarily halted the government from collecting of Sh2,000 from 8,600 public service vehicles following a suit filed in December 15 last year by the Central Rift PSV Transporters Cooperative Society Limited on behalf of 84 Saccos.
“Pending the hearing and determination of the application inter parte hearing, a conservatory order is hereby issued barring the respondent, its agents or person acting under its authority from demanding from the petitioners fees for seasonal tickets,” read Justice Matheka’s orders.
