An accusing finger has been pointed at the Kenya Railways Corporation after an accident involving a train and a bus belonging to Kenya Pipeline claimed nine lives and left others injured.

The Motorists Association of Kenya has demanded an investigation into the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC), following the fatal crash at the Morendat Junction in Naivasha.

In a statement released on Friday, August 8, the group called upon the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Ombudsman to initiate a probe into the government institution and hold it culpable for the crash.

Witnesses said the accident occurred on Thursday afternoon when the bus, which had passengers inside, attempted to cross the railway line in front of the oncoming train.
