Ikolomani Member of Parliament Bernard Shinali escaped unharmed after his vehicle was involved in a road crash along Kapsabet-Mau Summit road on Saturday morning.
Speaking to Daily Nation, Shinali said he was traveling to Nairobi together with four members of his family when the accident happened at Lessos area at around 6.30 am.
“We were traveling back to Nairobi when the accident happened. The oncoming matatu rammed into our vehicle as we tried to escape in vain,” said Shinali.
Shinali said they proceeded with their journey to Nairobi after medical check-ups at Kapsabet Hospital.
“We have been examined and doctors have confirmed that we are safe. We will continue with our journey to Nairobi after recording statements with the police,” he said.
The MP and his family were returning to Nairobi after attending the burial of his son, Chris Masakah Atema in Kakamega County on Saturday.
Atema, 35, died after drowning in a swimming pool while on holiday with his family in Arizona, the United States on July 26th.
Atema, who was serving as a US Army reservist, was reportedly trying to rescue a teenage girl of Canadian descent, who was drowning in the swimming pool.
