The Kenya Red Cross Society on Wednesday finally came to the rescue of 39 students who were stranded at a Kisumu bus booking office, a few metres from a nightclub.
The society’s Kisumu team reacted promptly and dispatched three Toyota Land Cruisers to ferry the learners to their schools in Siaya and Busia counties, moments after the Informer sent an alert highlighting the plight of the students.
The students, who had travelled from Nairobi and were on their way to various schools in Siaya County, were spotted by concerned members of the public and revellers at the Guardian Angel booking office next to the Barcadia Lounge in the heart of the Kisumu CBD.
After a headcount, Red Cross Western Regional Logistics Officer Jackson Oduor confirmed that among the stranded were 25 from Mbaga Girls High School, one from St Anne’s Kisoko, another from Sinyolo Girls and another from Rang’ala Girls in Siaya County.
Two others were from Bishop Okoth Ojolla, another two from Chulaimbo Boys and two Sinaga Girls.
