Tunai, the pilot, and four other occupants were taken to Narok County Referral Hospital on a Red Cross ambulance for checkups. 

Confirming the incident, area MCA Moses Ole Samante said the Governor Tunai is out of danger.

    Why was he flying? In most of the world public servants drive if the distance is less than 100km unless one is a president of a rich country. Wasting public funds to fly within narok conty should not be allowed. Stupid residents of the county should take to the streets and he refunds the money. That is your money. Improve the roads.
