Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary has responded with solemnity and urgency to a devastating road crash involving a tourist vehicle that occurred on the evening of June 9 along the Dundori–Ol Jororok corridor in Nyandarua County, where six individuals lost their lives and nearly thirty others sustained varying degrees of injury.

The incident, which took place in the Gichaka area during adverse weather conditions, involved a white tourist minibus that is reported to have veered off the road before rolling multiple times and coming to a halt in a ditch, its structural integrity visibly compromised.

Authorities have since indicated that four men, one woman, and one child were among the deceased, while 27 survivors were taken to Nyahururu Hospital for emergency care.

In an official statement, Miano expressed her condolences to the bereaved families and called for a renewed sense of responsibility among public and private transport operators who operate in regions where weather patterns and road quality require additional vigilance.

“I extend my deepest sympathies to the families affected by this tragic event,” the Cabinet Secretary stated.

“We are monitoring the situation and offering support where needed. Drivers must exercise heightened caution, particularly in unfamiliar terrain or under unpredictable weather.”

The statement also conveyed wishes of recovery to those receiving treatment, while underlining the broader safety implications for Kenya’s tourism corridors—many of which traverse rural and mountainous terrain often prone to sudden changes in driving conditions.

Government authorities, led by Nyandarua County Commissioner Abdlisack Jaldesa, confirmed the fatalities and stated that investigations are underway to determine the cause of the accident and the identities of all the passengers.

According to Jaldesa, preliminary findings suggest the tourists were en route to a hotel in Nyahururu when the accident occurred.

The police, he said, are still verifying the nationalities of the affected passengers, pending formal identification and consular liaison.

Local witnesses recounted scenes of panic and confusion, stating that the vehicle appeared to lose traction after rainfall began, triggering the rollover.

The impact left the vehicle’s roof partially detached and the bus overturned, resting against a tree in a nearby field.

Miano’s remarks arrive at a moment of growing public discourse around transport safety in tourism-linked routes, where infrastructure gaps, speeding, and unpredictable weather often combine to produce high-risk conditions.

Her appeal adds momentum to ongoing efforts by national agencies to improve road safety awareness, especially in regions frequented by international visitors.

Photos released by the Ministry depict the wreckage of the bus surrounded by emergency responders and curious onlookers, a stark visual reminder of the human cost of inadequate caution behind the wheel.
