Kimaru said through a link man, the driver who had been on the run since Thursday contacted his office on Monday evening expressing his intention to surrender on condition that he will be treated fairly and that he would not be harassed by police.
“On Monday, we received a call from a link man and negotiations started on how the driver should be handled once he surrenders,” said Kimaru.
Kimaru said after he assured them of fair treatment, the driver who had been hiding in Kisii travelled to the police headquarters Tuesday afternoon where he met them and an identification done to ascertain if indeed he was involved in the accident.
“He came accompanied with his family members and we did an identification. He had injuries on the head and hands,” said Kimaru.
The commandant said the driver has been taken to Narok where he will write statements with the investigating officer.
“We had to take him to Narok where the investigating officer is based and where the accident took place for him to write down his statement that will help in unravelling what really happened when the accident occurred,” said Kimaru.
The driver of the bus is believed to have gone missing while on his way to hospital.
On Monday, the owner of the bus was arraigned in court to answer charges of allowing a defective bus to operate.
Mohamed Abdinasir Shiekh who appeared before Nairobi Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ndwiga was further accused of failing to keep records of the drivers of the bus company.
Shiekh however denied the charges and the magistrate ordered that he be remanded at the Muthaiga Police Station to allow the prosecution to prepare for fresh charges before a Narok court.
