They were mourners from Nyakach subcounty travelling to the burial of one of their own, Risper Akeyo, in Nyahera.
They went to condole and stand with the family. By sunset, on the way back, however some of their own names had been added to the list of the dead.
Twenty-six others survived.
The bus carried at least 54 passengers, including an 18-month-old baby. Others from the clan had travelled in separate vehicles.
