In hind sight the driver was not experienced for that role, he should have first gone for training, especially dealing with those types of cars. Experienced drivers will opt for the simplest, hit the cyclist instead of hitting the barrier Life is an endless adventure

After reading the driver's story I concluded it does not fully make sense. But I hope you are not comparing it with the account of the the professional 'eyewitness'

After reading the driver's story I concluded it does not fully make sense. But I hope you are not comparing it with the account of the the professional 'eyewitness' This unfortunately relates. When I'm faced with a road situation like a crazy bus overtaking in my lane I first think of the road shoulders as the next escape. If I was thie drivers I'd also look towards the kerb if I evaluate my speed as good enough not to overturn. Lakini you know these things happen in split second na we don't think like Inzis....

But I hope you are not comparing it with the account of the the professional 'eyewitness' It's the only other account of the accident. In as much as ajali haina kinga, I strongly feel the driver made a very reckless decision when he decided to slam into the guard rail. A rear tyre burst isn't as catastrophic as a front one. The car wasn't out of control till the point of impact.

I think asking the driver to recount what happened is being insensitive, that driver needs psychosocial support and not tormenting him to recount what happened. If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Boss, this is practice all over the world. There's a family that needs closure and he is a professional police driver (unless otherwise) his duty was to get the Governor where he was going safely. Like a pilot, he should be most remorseful about losing his VIP passenger as that's his job. If he can talk, he should do it immediately.

The driver is admitting that he is responsible for the death through reckless driving. First he admits that was speeding then a lot of other balderdash. He can get himself jailed very easily for the loose talk. he should have zipped-up his mouth until he is asked to do it in an inquest or court, whatever.

He can only be jailed if he repeats the same in a police statement . Maybe he is feeling a lot of guilt and also faces an unpredictable future because his stable future died with his employer. Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...
