Families are still struggling to come to terms with the loss of their relatives in the accident that claimed the lives of several people.
Many of them camped at St. Mary's Mission Hospital. Vincent, where they remembered the last moments they shared with their loved ones.
The accident is reported to have killed many students who were returning to school after the holidays.
The Otieno family should not have boarded the three that later killed them
Among the grieving families is Josh Otieno, a Kisumu resident who lost his wife and 17-year-old daughter in the fatal accident.
Otieno, still in shock, revealed that the fatal accident happened just 20 minutes after he saw his family leaving.
He said that his wife and daughter had planned to ride in separate matatus but were persuaded otherwise.
Otieno explained that the conductor of the matatu that was in bad shape insisted on the matatu, which eventually met with the accident.
“They wanted to get on another car that wasn't that one. But the conductor insisted that they have to get on that car to Kisumu. We talked a few minutes after getting on that car and after that I got a call from my son that both of them are dead,” he narrated
