New details have emerged on the Githurai based bus that crashed at the Kericho junction killing three people.
It has em,erged that the bus did not have a permit to ply the route.
The area's deputy police boss, Mr Nathan Sanya, said investigations by his team had shown that the bus was plying a new route with authorisation from its sacco only.
“We have not seen any clearance from the National Transport and Safety Authority. The bus only had a letter from the sacco allowing it to ply this route,” he said.
The accident happened on Christmas night where the driver escaped from the scene and is still at large.
The 52-seater bus that normally plies the Githurai 45-Nairobi route and uses the Thika Superhighway was transporting passengers to Kisumu for Christmas and New Year festivities when the incident occurred.
