He had disappeared into the
thin air immediately after the accident that left 27 others with serious
injuries.
He is set to appear in court this morning to face various charges.
Those killed
include 13 adults and a child, while more than 10 others have been taken to
Matuu Level Four Hospital.
According to Yatta police boss Njoroge Karanja, the accident occurred
when the bus heading to Nairobi from Mandera rammed into a stationary truck.
Mandera Governor Ali Roba said the victims
of the accident are set to receive support from a Sh6 million kitty set aside
by his county government.
The money, being part of the county disaster fund, will assist
families of the dead and 27 others who were injured.
Roba said Sh3 million will be used to support families who lost
their loved ones, while the other half will cater for medical bills of the
survivors.
He added that majority of the victims were residents of Mandera
including his own bodygyard who was heading to Nairobi on official duty.
