Another Tragic Accident in Londiani, Kericho.

Several passengers sustained injuries after ENA Coach bus travelling from Nairobi to Usenge overturned along the Nakuru-Kericho Highway on Tuesday, July 4.

Speaking to a local media house, ENA Bus Company official confirmed that the injured were rushed to the nearby Londiani Hospital for medical attention.

“It is true the accident occurred when the bus was heading to Kericho from Nairobi. Passengers suffered minor injuries and were rushed to Londiani Hospital,” the official stated.

The passengers included students heading back to school after the midterm break.

By the time of this publication, residents were helping other emergency officers to rescue passengers from the bus.

The cause of the accident was, however, not immediately established.

The Ena bus coach accident occurred kilometres from the tragic Londiani accident, which claimed 52 lives. According to the driver, the trailer’s braking system failed, leading to the crash.

However, following the accident, Transport Cabinet Secretary announced a raft of measures to avert further accidents.

Speaking during interdenominational prayers in Londiani town in Kericho County, Murkomen announced that all matatus will be fitted with dashcams that will send real-time data for the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).

“Telematics will have a GPS system showing where a vehicle will be at any particular time, it will have a black box recorder that will be transmitting the speed of every vehicle at every time. 

“It will show the location of every vehicle and show when and who maintained the vehicle. It will show where the vehicle was serviced and who serviced the vehicle,” he stated.
