Questions as Kenyan Driver is Left Behind as Diplomats Involved in Mombasa Rd Crash are Flown to Nairobi

Two of the four foreign diplomats involved in a multiple-car crash along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway on Tuesday have been airlifted to Nairobi for further treatment.

The two were admitted to Machakos Level 5 Hospital with serious injuries following the accident that occurred at Lukenya Bridge along the busy highway.

Nairobi News reports that the two were flown to Nairobi in a military chopper but a Kenyan driver who was driving them during the crash was left behind at the Machakos hospital.

Ms. Brenda Muntemba, the Zambian High Commissioner to Kenya and another diplomat Kama Wasa were airlifted to the city on Wednesday in a Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) helicopter.

The other two diplomats, Botswana’s ambassador to Kenya Duke Lephoko and Joseph Guttu were treated for minor injuries and discharged on Tuesday night.

It's not clear why the Kenyan driver identified as Joseph Ogutu was left behind as his boss was flown to the city.
