Sixty people were injured in a road accident that occurred along Baragoi-Maralal road in Samburu on Saturday afternoon.
The sixty were travelling in a lorry heading to a political rally.
According to witnesses, the injured had been approached and asked to attend a rally going in the area before the accident occurred.
"People were busy in their farms, they had to abandon what they were doing after a lorry approached abruptly asking them to attend a political rally," Jackson Lesila, a resident narrated.
One of the victims Joseph Longu'on, said the driver lost control after approaching a corner two kilometres from where they boarded the vehicle.
"The driver was speeding and when we approached a sharp corner, the vehicle veered off the road and fell into a ditch," Longu'on explained.
The victims who suffered serious injuries were rushed to Samburu County Referral hospital where they are receiving treatment.
Lesila urged his village mates to stop following politicians for handouts adding that most of the victims of the accident could not afford the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
