A 30-year-old man is reported to have collapsed and died while traveling to Mombasa aboard Chania Cool bus of REG. NO. KCU 756C , SCANIA model.
According to multiple reports, the man is said to have collapsed after coughing severely at around 0240 hrs.
The incident is said to have occurred at Teleh Hotel Mutito-Andei, in Makueni County.
Police have identified the deceased as FREDRICK MBACHU MWAKIMA TAITA.
Reports doing rounds on social media indicate that Public Health officers are making arrangements to remove the body and fumigate the bus.
The incident happens as the nation struggles to contain the now most dreaded coronavirus pandemic.
Other passengers are said to have fled the scene after noticing the deceased’s severe coughs, leaving him to die helplessly.
On Sunday March 22, 2020, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe confirmed eight more COVID-19 cases in Kenya, bring the total number of cases to 15.
Addressing a press conference from Harambee House, CS Kagwe noted that one of the confirmed coronavirus patients was in a critical condition in Kilifi and there were plans to airlift him to Nairobi for further treatment.
Kilifi County Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi has also tested positive for the virus.
He was picked by state officers and forced into isolation after he refused to self-quarantine the moment he came from an international trip.
Governor Amason Kingi has resorted to self-quarantine himself, with CS Kagwe vowing to charge his deputy for going against Government’s Health Act.
Meanwhile, the government has put in some measures to contain the virus.
All international flights have been suspended, with all bars remaining close until further notice effective Wednesday 25th March.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
