11 General Service Unit (GSU) officers are among those who perished in the Saturday night Naivasha accident.
State House Spokesperson Mahoah Esipisu in a Sunday press statement said the officers provided VIP protection, including to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Last night, as a result of a grizzly and unnecessary accident, some 33 people were killed along the Naivasha-Nakuru Road. Scores more people were injured and are admitted to hospital. The fatalities included 11 officers from the General Service Unit (GSU) who provide VIP protection, including to His Excellency the President,” Esipisu said.
President Kenyatta has expressed his condolences to the families of all the bereaved, including the young families of the gallant officers from the GSU.
He has called on agencies responsible for enforcing traffic regulation to fully investigate the tragic breach of traffic laws.
