Blogger Francis Gaitho has questioned the circumstances surrounding the death of businessman and former politician Cyrus Jirongo, who died following a road accident involving a passenger bus.
In a post shared on X, Gaitho challenged the version of events attributed to the bus driver, who reportedly claimed he had limited options before the collision.
Gaitho argued that aspects of the account required closer scrutiny, including the absence of video recordings from passengers despite the bus carrying dozens of people at the time.
Gaitho further alleged that public messaging following the crash appeared coordinated and aimed at discouraging critical questioning.
He claimed that public expressions of mourning and praise for the driver risked overshadowing unresolved questions about how the accident occurred.
These claims were presented as his personal opinion and have not been supported by official findings.
Police have confirmed that investigations into the crash are ongoing.
Authorities say the vehicle wreckage was examined, witness statements recorded, and a mechanical inspection ordered as part of standard procedure in fatal road accidents.
No official conclusion on the cause of the crash has been released.
The bus company involved has stated that the driver was experienced and cooperating with investigators.
Road safety experts note that fatal accidents on highways during early morning hours are often linked to factors such as fatigue, speed, and visibility.
They caution that definitive conclusions can only be reached after a full forensic and traffic analysis.
Jirongo, a prominent figure in business and politics, had remained active in public debate, which has contributed to heightened public interest in the case.
