A tragic accident at AIC Kapsabet School for the Deaf claimed one student’s life and left 10 others injured after they fell into a septic tank on the school grounds.
The incident occurred Thursday morning as students scrambled to catch a sight of President William Ruto’s motorcade passing the school. As the children gathered on top of an old, 20-foot-deep septic tank, the structure gave way under their weight, plunging 11 learners into the pit.
Nandi County CEC Angeline Kirui, among the first to arrive, confirmed the tragedy.
County disaster teams and rescuers quickly pulled the students from the tank and rushed them to Kapsabet County Referral Hospital. Doctors there confirmed that one student had died upon arrival. After learning of the accident, President William Ruto visited the school to share his condolences and stand with the grieving students and staff.
During his visit, the president donated Sh5 million to fund reconstruction at the school before continuing his journey to Kapsabet Girls.
