Speaking to the media outside the hospital, the parents blamed poor communication by the school and hurriedly decision-making.
According to them, questions abound about the school’s decision to send the students home late in the evening without considering the ones who had to travel long distances to get home.
According to the parents, the school administration did not sufficiently inform them of a series of school fires that had led to the abrupt closure of the school on Friday evening.
Most of the parents now claim they heard about the decision when their children called requesting for fare back home on Friday evening.
The parents have faulted the school for not giving them sufficient time to plan for safe travel for their sons.
The school bus was ferrying a section of the students home on Friday night when it got involved in a tragic accident at the Josa blackspot along the Wundanyi-Mwatate road in Taita Taveta County.
Reportedly, the bus experienced brake failure and lost control before overturning along the highway.
