The village of Chevaywa is reeling from a cruel double blow as the eldest daughter succumbs to injuries just moments after her baby and eight relatives were laid to rest.

Grief has struck the village of Chevaywa in Lugari with a cruel, relentless force, claiming a tenth life from a single family just hours after the earth had settled over the graves of nine relatives.
The death of Robai, the family’s eldest daughter, transforms an already national tragedy into an unfathomable nightmare for the Kakamega community, underscoring the devastating, long-term ripple effects of road carnage on Kenyan households.
Robai had been fighting for her life in the hospital since the horrific accident in Naivasha that decimated her family. According to her cousin, Martin Likhwesi, who spoke to the press, Robai passed away shortly after receiving news that her family members—including her own baby—were being interred.
Likhwesi noted that upon hearing the proceedings of the mass burial, Robai insisted she was well enough to return home, a heartbreaking testament to the bond she shared with those she lost. However, her condition deteriorated, and she died before she could rejoin what remained of her kin.
The calamity began when 15 family members packed into a vehicle, bound for a grandmother's funeral. It was meant to be a reunion. Instead, it ended in a twisted wreck in Naivasha.
Survivors recall a haunting conversation with the family patriarch just minutes before the crash. He had predicted they would be home by 4:00 pm, a promise that was shattered on the highway. Instead of a welcome home party, the village was forced to organize a mass grave.
Beyond the emotional toll, the family is facing a crippling financial crisis. The cost of dignity in death is high in Kenya, and this family has been stretched to the breaking point.
As the community of Lugari prepares for yet another funeral, the focus turns to how a single household can survive such a total erasure of its lineage, both emotionally and economically.
