Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has said victims injured in a road accident involving a vehicle in his motorcade on Sunday are receiving treatment.
The incident occurred along the Kisumu–Busia Highway near the Otonglo area as the CS was heading to Kisumu International Airport after attending a function in Siaya County.
Speaking after the incident in Nairobi on Sunday night during an Iftar dinner with members of the Kenya Association of Muslim Medical Professionals (KAMMP), Duale said he briefly delayed his journey to ensure the injured were assisted and taken to the hospital.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting; we are on our way from the function to Kisumu airport. There was a small accident. All patients belong to me; I had to tell my team to help the patients and ensure they are in the hospital. They are recovering well,” he said.
The CS added that the injured victims were rushed to hospital and are recovering well following the crash.
According to a member of Duale’s security team, the accident involved one of the security vehicles accompanying the Cabinet Secretary.
The officer confirmed that there were no casualties reported from Duale’s team following the incident.
