Multiple Students Hurt as School Bus Overturns En Route to Music Festival in Meru
A school bus transporting students and teachers from Salvation Army Imusutsu High School met with an accident early Friday morning on the Kisumu–Busia highway near Sirwa Posta in Vihiga County. The vehicle was en route to the Kenya National Music Festival in Meru when it lost control and overturned off the roadside.
Several students sustained injuries, although exact numbers have not been disclosed. Local residents quickly responded to assist victims trapped in the wreckage before police arrived to secure the scene and begin an investigation.
Authorities have confirmed the students were traveling to participate in the annual national festival, a major event showcasing musical talents from across Kenya’s schools.
This incident occurred on the same day as a tragic collision between a train and a company bus in Naivasha, which resulted in eight fatalities. The two accidents have heightened concerns about road and transport safety standards nationwide.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the crash. Meanwhile, emergency services have been deployed to support the injured and transport them to nearby hospitals.

Trump Demands Intel CEO Step Down Amid Security Concerns Over China Ties Former President Donald Trump has called for the immediate resignation of Intel CEO Lip‑Bu Tan, labeling him “highly conflicted” due to his extensive investments in Chinese companies, some of which are believed to have ties to the Chinese military. This demand comes amid growing national security concerns voiced by Senator Tom Cotton and others following a Reuters investigation. Between 2012 and 2024, Tan and the venture firms he manages reportedly invested over $200 million in hundreds of Chinese technology firms. Some of these firms have links to China's People’s Liberation Army. These revelations heightened scrutiny of his role as head of Intel. Additionally, Tan's former company, Cadence Design Systems, recently settled U.S. legal claims for more than $140 million related to unauthorized exports to a Chinese military university during his tenure—fueling further de...

Trump Unveils ‘Very White’ Rose Garden Overhaul at White House Monday, August 4, 2025 ENS Global Desk | Washington, D.C. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a dramatic new look for the historic White House Rose Garden—paving over the lush lawn with a pale, stone-covered terrace in what he described as a “very white” redesign. The makeover has removed the signature green from the garden, replacing it with a light-stone plaza said to be inspired by the aesthetics of Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. According to sources close to the project, Trump personally oversaw the design and insisted on the full paving to address long-standing issues with soggy grounds that “ruin shoes and heels,” especially during official gatherings.
