The Ministry of Education has confirmed the deaths of two teachers and a learner in two separate road accidents in Nairobi and Nyeri counties earlier today. In Nairobi, tragedy struck at the City Primary School in Ngara when a public service vehicle rammed into a group of teachers participating in union elections. Up to 26 others were injured and are currently receiving treatment, according to the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Julius Migos Ogamba. These incidents come amid heightened concern over road safety in the country, especially for school children and teachers. In Nairobi, witnesses reported the driver of the public service vehicle appeared to lose control before veering into the group of teachers.
