Elgeyo Marakwet governor Wisley Rotich escapes unhurt in road accident
Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Wisley Rotich escaped without injuries after his vehicle was involved in a road accident at Chepkoilel Junction in Uasin Gishu County on Monday morning, November 9.
The accident reportedly occurred at around 8am when the governor's grey Toyota Land Cruiser Prado collided with a boda boda rider at the busy junction.
The impact left the front section of the governor's vehicle extensively damaged, with the bonnet and headlights among the affected parts.
The incident attracted the attention of residents who gathered around the vehicle shortly after the collision.
Traffic police officers also arrived at the scene to assess the situation and manage the traffic.
Moments after the accident, Rotich was seen standing beside a traffic police officer as residents watched from nearby.
The governor appeared to be speaking with the officer following the incident.
Although his vehicle sustained significant damage, Rotich escaped unhurt. Details about the condition of the boda boda rider involved in the collision were not immediately available.

New KNEC team takes over at Nyabisase senior school following student violence
The government has replaced the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) examination team at Nyabisase Senior School in Kisii County following an incident in which students attacked examination officials and police officers, with one officer losing his firearm during the confrontation.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba confirmed that a new team had taken over examination duties at the school, adding that 55 teachers and non-teaching staff had been summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to record statements.
Ogamba said the government would take action against anyone found responsible for examination malpractice or breaking the law once investigations are completed.
He maintained that the Thursday incident had not affected the ongoing examinations, adding that normal learning had resumed and security had been strengthened at the institution.
During the confrontation, students reportedly attacked four officers overseeing the examinations, throwing stones and hurling insults at them.
The students allegedly overpowered one officer and escaped with his Ceska pistol.
Kisii County Police Commander Ronald Kirui said the firearm was later recovered following an intensive search.
The injured officer sustained bruises and blunt-force injuries and was receiving specialised treatment. His condition was reported to be stable.
The incident is the latest in a series of unrest cases at the school, which was closed in July following protests against the Teachers Service Commission's decision to post a new principal.
During the earlier unrest, students attacked teachers and set a dormitory on fire, forcing education and security officials to intervene before learners were sent home.
The repeated incidents have raised concerns about the school's management and reported disagreements between its former and current administrations.

Man arrested in Bamburi over Sh130,000 fake Airbnb accommodation deal
A man accused of defrauding a holidaymaker of Sh130,000 through a fake Airbnb accommodation deal has been arrested by detectives in Bamburi, Mombasa County.
The suspect, identified as Nelson Okota Odhiambo, was arrested by Nyali Sub-County detectives following investigations into an online accommodation fraud scheme targeting people planning holidays along the Coast.
According to investigators, Okota allegedly received Sh130,000 from a female client after promising to secure Airbnb accommodation for her in Nyali.
However, the promised accommodation was never provided, leaving the woman with a financial loss.
The victim had reportedly intended to spend her holiday at the Coast but ended up losing the money after trusting the suspect with arrangements for her stay.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect may have been targeting holidaymakers beyond Mombasa County, with reports suggesting that his activities extended to travellers planning visits to Kilifi and Kwale counties.
Detectives believe the suspect used online accommodation arrangements to attract unsuspecting clients before collecting payments for properties that were never secured.
His arrest followed investigative leads that enabled officers from Nyali to track him down in Bamburi, bringing an end to his alleged activities.
The suspect is currently in police custody as detectives complete the necessary processing ahead of his arraignment in court.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has urged members of the public, particularly those planning holidays during the upcoming festive season, to exercise caution when booking accommodation through online platforms.
Travellers have been advised to confirm that the advertised properties exist, verify the identities of hosts and ensure that accommodation providers are legitimate before making payments.
The public has also been cautioned against sending money to individuals whose identities and property ownership cannot be independently verified.
The arrest comes at a time when demand for holiday accommodation is expected to increase, with many Kenyans making travel arrangements to coastal destinations during the festive season.
The DCI has maintained that detectives remain committed to pursuing individuals involved in online fraud and protecting members of the public from losing their money through deceptive accommodation deals.
Presidential hopefuls Fred Matiang’i, Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka have held a meeting to discuss the way forward for the United Opposition.

Woman confronts Kenya Power over huge bill despite monthly Sh300 usage
A woman has confronted Kenya Power over a disputed electricity bill of Ksh200,000, accusing the company of failing to address a faulty meter despite her repeated complaints.
The woman, whose monthly electricity consumption normally costs her no more than Ksh300, expressed frustration after the power distributor demanded payment of the huge bill, which she says accumulated over a period of two years.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the visibly angry woman is seen confronting officials at Kenya Power's offices, questioning how her electricity account could accumulate such a large amount despite her low monthly consumption.
During the one-minute, 42-second video, she explained that the problem started when her electricity meter developed a fault.
She said she repeatedly reported the issue to the relevant authorities but waited for an extended period before the company eventually sent personnel to replace the meter.
She maintained that replacing faulty electricity meters is the responsibility of Kenya Power and should not be left to consumers.
She questioned why she was now being required to settle a bill that she believes resulted from the company's failure to respond to her complaints in good time.
"I am not the one who is supposed to change the meter. It is Kenya Power that is supposed to change the meter," she said during the confrontation.
The woman further revealed that she had made several trips to the company's offices in an attempt to have the matter resolved but her efforts had not produced the outcome she expected.
She said the repeated visits had caused her frustration, particularly because she was now being asked to pay Ksh200,000 despite having raised concerns about the faulty meter long before the bill reached the disputed amount.
The demand has left her questioning why she should carry the financial burden of a problem she believes was within the company's responsibility to address.
Her confrontation has also drawn attention to concerns surrounding electricity billing and the handling of customer complaints by the power distributor.
For consumers, faulty meters and disputed bills can become costly problems, particularly when complaints take months or years to resolve.
