“The driver was tested for Covid-19 on 7th June in Kisumu while he was on duty; he tested positive for coronavirus, but since the results were out, the driver went missing,” said Siundu.

Police waited for the driver at Narok and upon stopping, they arrested him.

“I got information from my colleagues that the driver was on his way to Homa Bay via the Maai Mahiu – Narok highway. We had suspected that he would stop in Narok for some meals and when he stopped, we nabbed him immediately,” said the Sub County Commandant.

Upon his arrest, the driver was returned to Nairobi for isolation while the 15 mourners were quarantined at Narok Referral Hospital.
