Eight people died in two separate road accidents between Friday, December 22, and Saturday, December 23.
According to police report, the first one at Kalemngorok along the Lodwar-Kitale Higway killed four people and injured one, a woman.
A bus ferrying passengers to Lodwar veered off the road and rammed into roadside vendors killing four and injuring one person.
