Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80648, member: 636"] A politician says the dead lawmaker feared for his life. PLP leader Martha Karua revealed former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo had been worried about his safety right before he died. Speaking at a Nairobi memorial service at Christ Is The Answer Ministries on Valley Road, Karua said Jirongo was arranging for better security when the crash happened. She acknowledged tough questions about his death will remain, even as people mourn a man she called generous and compassionate. Jirongo, a veteran politician and businessman aged sixty-four, died in a head-on collision with a passenger bus on the Nairobi Nakuru Highway near Karai in Naivasha. A post-mortem confirmed massive blunt force trauma from the high-speed impact. Karua described him as a longtime friend who worked for national unity. The service began a four-day funeral program leading to burial in Lumakanda, Kakamega County. [/QUOTE]
