Joseph Maduli, son to Mugithi star Kareh B died yesterday 

The family of Kareh B learned of their son's death via social media.

She added that before this day their kids have never been sent home at night

"Going by Easy Coach (which they us to travel home), all buses were fully booked by other schools prior to this.

They decided to let the students travel at night.

Some parents were OK with it but my I was worried why they were not giving us parents who did not want our kids to travel at night an option.

This is something that has never happened before, either during midterm or during closing time."

Kareh B added that she had hoped her son was among those who had survived

"I did not get sleep at around 12: 30AM or 1.00 AM is when I got information that a bus carrying Chavakali Boys had been involved in an accident.

In the whats app groups around 5:00AM or 6:30 AM parents were still receiving their kids but mine was nowhere to be seen.

I started asking myself why my son wasn't coming home."

Adding

"One of the teachers on the site of the accident said 

He told me the ones who got minor injuries were allowed to call their parents but mine did not call."

It is not clear why we have to look for information ourselves."
