Three African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) Bishops died on Friday night after a vehicle they were traveling in collided head-on with another at Wamumu area on the Embu-Makutano road, in Kirinyaga County.
This is the latest road crash in the country, raising the death toll to more than 100 since the beginning of December.
The three, identified as Bishop Philip Kubai, who is the chairman of bishops synod from Ntonyiri Diocese, Bishop Moses Ntoreruri of Igembe Diocese and Bishop Stanley Kalulu from Igembe Central Diocese were heading to Nairobi after attending a church event in Embu.
“Drivers of both vehicles sustained serious injuries and are admitted to Karira Hospital,” a police officer who attended to the victims said.
Confirming the incident, Mwea police commander Kizito Mutoro said the three clerics died on the spot, while three other people sustained serious injuries and were rushed to Mwea Mission Hospital for treatment.
In a message of condolences, President Uhuru said the death of the trio was a big loss not only to their families, but to the entire country. He also urged motorists to be cautious on the road and observe traffic rules.
“The death of the clergymen is a big loss not only to their families but also to the larger Kenyan society,” the president said in a statement from his press team.

UhuruRuto, death of any…
UhuruRuto, death of any Kenyan by road accident is bad for their families and community and you should do something about it. Go back and read the Michuki mantra because you are not doing anything about this unfortunate trend.
Mundu wa Nyumba: These…
Mundu wa Nyumba: These Deaths began after the Oct.26.17 “Election” and after UhuRuto consulted with Moi. Now most of the DYING are Supporters of Jubilee. And it’s because Shetani Mwizi ni Muongo na Mmwaga DAMU.
Seriously @Guest 1, stop…
Seriously @Guest 1, stop beating a dead horse or should I say that boat has sailed. Amollo will NEVER win an election in Kenya. Mwene Nyaga has said NO. Also, have you ever thought that maybe the lake deaths are never reported as much as the highlands? Everyone will eventually die anyway so get over it.
Mundu wa Nyumba.Thirty Six …
Mundu wa Nyumba.Thirty Six (36) people just died on Eldoret-Nakuru road. Evil BLEEDS Evil; and this seems to be akin to the 2007 PEVs, but with a TWIST from hell itself. Uhuru needs to Resign for Raila; for Life to Return again to the Innocent People of Kenya.

@Tialala, tafadhali nakuomba…
@Tialala, tafadhali nakuomba uwache matusi. Watu wanazidi kuangamia na kupoteza maisha yao barabarani na wewe badala ya kutoa maoni ambayo yanaweza kupunguza ajali barabarani, maoni yako ni matusi kwangu! Pole sana Kaka! Mimi siwezi kukutukana kwa njia yoyote. Ninavyojua ni kuwa, Mwai Kibaki alipoitawala nchi ya Kenya, aliwachagua watu ambao waliweza kuimudu kazi zao. Je, wamkumbuka Michuki? Yeye (Michuki) hakujichagua kwenye idara hiyo, alichaguliwa na Rais ambaye alijua kazi yake.
Nakuomba tafadhali uzungumze na rafiki yako Uhuru ili awachague watu ambao wanaweza kuimudu kazi zao.
