Kalenjin musicians yesterday said they were working round the clock to give colleagues who died in a road accident on Saturday a decent send-off.

Kalenjin Musicians Association chairman Paul Rotich said members had proposed the burials be held on Saturday but were still consulting with their families.

"We are also planning a mass prayer service for the seven," said Rotich.

The bodies were moved to mortuaries in Kericho and Uasin Gishu from Nakuru. The victims died when their car was involved in an accident at Kamara along Nakuru-Eldoret highway on Saturday night. 

Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso promised to cater for burial expenses.
