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.
In the emotional clip that has since circulated online, the driver explains what he claims led to the deadly collision.
According to the driver, the late Jirongo had just exited a nearby petrol station where he had stopped to refuel before joining the busy highway.
He claims that after merging onto the road, Jirongo encountered a traffic jam and attempted to overtake other vehicles. At that moment, the Climax bus was already approaching on the same lane.
