Sorrow and grief engulfed the parents, teachers and pupils of Riamo Comprehensive School after learning about the death of the deputy headteacher on Friday, September 19, 2029.
According to sources, Pascariah Kemunto perished together with a bodaboda rider who was along with her at Omobera point along the Mogonga- Kenya road.
According to an eyewitness, the speedy bodaboda rider was trying to evade a matatu in a head-on collision. However, his efforts were futile as the duos were involved in a head-on accident with the Nissan matatu.
“I saw them in front of the vehicle and crossed my eyes with fear.”Said Anne Nyaboke.
Kenyan police took the two bodies to the Kenyan Sub-County Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
The police identified the late madam teacher as Mrs Pascariah Kemunto Mokunyo of Boitang ‘ sre village in Nyamache Subcounty, and the bodaboda operator as Justine Mose, who hails from Nyangusu village but operates his bodaboda transportation business on Igare- Mogonga-Kenyenya road.

Kenya Subcounty Deputy County Commissioner William Kibet decried the high rate of road accidents in the area and called on road users, bodaboda riders, and other motorists to be more careful to avoid more road accidents.
He told bodaboda riders, drivers and their touts to shun using any intoxicants when they are on duty because when they are drunk, they lose good driving directions and end up being agents of road carnage.
The commissioner asked the traffic police to instil discipline among drivers by not accepting bribes and leaving unworthy vehicles unchecked in the transportation business.
