Chinese Firm Destroys Kisumu’s Coptic Roundabout After Bus Crash Killing 27; 22 Buried in Nyakach, Redesign Planned

A tragic bus accident at the Coptic roundabout in Kisumu, Kenya, resulted in the deaths of 27 people, with 22 victims buried in Nyakach. The roundabout, known locally as a dangerous spot, was destroyed following the crash. A Chinese firm has since flattened the roundabout and plans to redesign the section to improve safety. Prominent Kenyan leaders, including Raila Odinga and Anyang' Nyong'o, attended a mass funeral service held in Nyakach to honor the victims. The incident has sparked calls from community members and officials for urgent road repairs to prevent further accidents. Separately, in Siaya and Nandi counties, two motorcycle riders died in a collision, and a man named Vincent Bett was fatally stabbed by his partner in Emgwen, Nandi, prompting local leaders to condemn the violence and urge caution in relationships.
