A 5 month old baby boy died yesterday and his mother was left nursing burns after lightning struck their home in Oldonyorok village in Trans Mara.
Emmanuel Kiplagat was with his mother, 22 year old Miriam Ng’eno, inside their house when the tragic incident happened.
The area police boss, Alfred Muthua, said that Ng’eno sustained stomach burns and was rushed to Angata
Health Center where she is undergoing treatment.
Alfred said that such incidences were common in the area and asked the County Government to install
lightning arrestors on tall buildings.
