Do You Remember the Busia Plane Crash? Here are the 4 Prominent Politicians It killed

Recently whe have seen,Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament Johana Ng'eno among othe six individuals killed in a helicopter crash at 4.45 pm in Mosop, Nandi County.

In January 2003, a plane carrying four Cabinet ministers and other people, crashed in western Kenya killing one minister and the two pilots.

A public inquiry into the crash recommended that in the future no more than three Cabinet ministers or senior government officials should travel on the same flight for security reasons.

The 24-seater Gulfstream aircraft crashed into a house after snagging a power line on takeoff from Busia in far western Kenya, according to members of the government watching from the ground.

The crash was a demoralising blow to the government of President Mwai Kibaki, a discordant coalition of 14 former opposition parties which swept to power at that time.

The report also said many airstrips in the country were poorly maintained and the government did not allocate enough money for repair and maintenance.

Narc-Kenya party leader Martha Karua shared harrowing little-known details about how she escaped death by a whisker a few days after the National Rainbow Coalition romped to victory in 2002.

On the fateful day, she narrates that they took a flight from Wilson Airport to Busia Airstrip where they landed safely and headed to Awori’s home for the ceremony.

On their way back after the event, she explains that together with Koome they used Attorney General Amos Wako's back to the airstrip.
