They were headed to Lonyangalani to carry out security surveillance ahead of Uhuru’s visit to commission the wind power project on Thursday.

The president and his deputy’s convoys have been involved in two accidents in the recent past.

Early last week, a vehicle in Uhuru’s convoy ran over a 74-year-old man when the president visited Mumias Sugar while Ruto’s motorcade injured two girls in Murang’a County.
