Authorities charged with regulating public road transport have admitted that the bus which crashed in Kericho Wednesday killing 50 people and leaving others critically injured was operating illegally.
Francis Meja, the Director-General of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), said the bus known as Home Boyz and operated by the Western Cross Roads Express Sacco had no licence to operate at night.
“This vehicle had no licence to transport passengers at night and the owners will have to take responsibility,” Mr Meja told NTV Sasa show.
“They will face the law and we will take them to court to answer to charges,” he said.
