28.07.2026 ⇢ The day of the West Pokot school bus crash and the Mandera IED attack
⌨
The day's editorial focus split between two fatal incidents: a collision of two school buses carrying 101 pupils in West Pokot that injured 13, and an IED attack in Mandera that killed four police officers. The bus crash dominated afternoon and evening headlines across Tuko, People Daily, and Nairobi Leo, while Citizen led with the Mandera attack. Earlier, editors tracked the NCIC's widening hate speech probe into Gachagua, Duale, and others, with Gachagua daring the commission to summon him. The TSC's announcement of 20,000 teaching vacancies and 34,000 promotions generated sustained coverage, as did Kindiki's denial of losing duties to Mudavadi. By evening, the school bus crash had become the day's defining human-interest story, overshadowing the military training resumption with the UK and Maxine Wahome's acquittal.
