Kenyans are still mourning the death of former Lugari Member of Parliament Honorable Cyrus Jirongo, who lost his life in a tragic road accident on Friday, December 13, 2025. The fatal crash involved his private vehicle and a Climax bus that was traveling from Nairobi to Busia County.
As tributes continue to pour in from leaders and members of the public, new details have emerged following a video statement allegedly recorded by the driver of the Climax bus involved in the accident.
