Today, the driver of the ill-fated Easy Coach bus involved in the tragic accident along the Kisumu-Kakamega highway, which claimed the life of a student from Chavakali Boys High School and left numerous others injured, was arraigned and charged before a Kisumu court.
George Onyango Riako pleaded not guilty to 10 counts, including causing the death of one student and injuring nine others.
He was granted release on a Ksh.200,000 cash bail or an alternative of Ksh.500,000 bond.
Appearing before Winam Law Court Principal Magistrate D.K Mtai, the court was informed that on April 1, Onyango was allegedly overspeeding, leading to the accident that tragically took the life of Joseph Mwadulo.
