A horrific accident on Thika Road in Nairobi resulted in the deaths of at least 10 teachers and left 14 others injured when a 33-seater matatu with reported brake failure rammed into them. In a separate incident, a petroleum tanker crashed on the Eldoret–Malaba Highway at Maili Tisa, leading to dangerous scenes as residents attempted to siphon spilled fuel. Meanwhile, a nationwide strike by Matatu Operators and other motorists, initially planned for Monday, February 2, 2026, has been suspended. The postponement allows for dialogue between stakeholders to address pressing concerns within the public transport sector.
