Emerging details now reveal deepening questions over the early‑morning accident that killed former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo around 3 am on Saturday along the Nakuru–Naivasha (Karai) stretch of the Nairobi–Nakuru Highway.
Police and forensic indicators suggest the incident was more complex than initial accounts indicated, with conflicting witness statements and physical evidence that do not fully align.
According to traffic investigators, patterns of skid marks, debris scatter, and vehicle positions at the scene do not fit a straightforward head‑on collision narrative, raising questions about how events unfolded before the fatal impact.
Some witness accounts reportedly differ from forensic findings, prompting authorities to examine all angles.
Police officials have said the Mercedes‑Benz driven by Jirongo collided with a Climax Coaches passenger bus carrying about 65 travellers, killing him instantly.
The bus driver claims he veered to protect passengers as the Mercedes moved into his lane.
The late politician had reportedly met National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula in Karen the previous night from about 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, but his reasons for being in Naivasha before the crash remain unclear.
Phone records and testimonies place him in Karen late Friday, with family and associates questioning how he later appeared dead on the Nakuru–Naivasha corridor.
