Bishop Sulumeti Girls students in Kakamega hospitalised after police teargas on the school compound - June 2026

Several students at Bishop Sulumeti Girls in Kakamega have been hospitalised after police officers deployed teargas canisters onto the school compound. A wave of student unrest has led to the closure of more schools across Kenya, with the disturbances following a nationwide matatu strike protesting increased fuel prices. Separately, a tragic road accident on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway resulted in the deaths of eight people in the Salama area.
