This notion that August is somewhat "jinxed" in Kenya is a fallacy peddled by the media.

Why do we forget that, for example, the Ngai Ndethya railway accident that killed 65 people in one go occurred in January?

Or that in May this year, the Kyanguli school fire disaster that killed 59 was in the month of March?

Or that the 2008 PEV that killed over 1,000 people was in January

Or.....

Or.....

Every month has it's fair share of calamities.

Please; let's stop peddling baseless fallacies as if they were factual

May I add the Mtongwe Ferry disaster that took about 270 lives was in April 1994?
