Kiptoo, who earned a first-class honors degree in Political Science and Public Administration, was involved in a fatal crash on the night of December 25, 2024.
The accident occurred at Chepkoilel Junction, located along the Eldoret-Iten Road.
According to reports, Kiptoo was a passenger on a boda boda motorcycle when it collided head-on with a Toyota Probox vehicle.
The impact of the crash was severe, and Kiptoo tragically succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Kiptoo had graduated on December 19, 2024, during Moi University's 46th graduation ceremony, where he was among the 5,757 students who were conferred degrees and honors.
His academic achievements were celebrated by his family, friends, and fellow students, marking a significant milestone in his life.
However, his promising future was cut short by the accident.
His family, still in shock from the tragic incident, confirmed his death and requested privacy as they grieve.
The loss has deeply affected the Moi University community, with many students sharing their condolences and fond memories of Kiptoo.
Some students expressed their disbelief, with one classmate, Dennis Moseti, recalling how Kiptoo had taken photos at the university library just a week before his passing.
Kiptoo's death follows another tragic event at Moi University in November 2024, when two students drowned while swimming in an abandoned quarry near the campus.
These two devastating incidents have left the university community reeling from the loss of young lives full of potential.
As the university and Kiptoo’s loved ones continue to process this loss, many are reflecting on the fragility of life.
Kiptoo was a bright student with a promising future ahead of him, and his untimely death has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew him.
