Ruto leads tributes as Jirongo’s passing unites Kenya in grief

President Ruto posted about losing his friend, former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, who died after his car slammed into a bus at 3 a.m. along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway in Karai near Naivasha while he was driving alone. The president called him a relentless businessman and politician who never backed down from challenges and was generous with his time and resources.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula and KANU chairman Gideon Moi both dropped tributes remembering him as a bold political trailblazer from the 1990s who stayed loyal and never hid his convictions. Saboti MP Caleb Amisi canceled his birthday celebration out of respect, and ODM leader Oburu Odinga sent condolences to the family.

Traffic officer Sarah Chumo confirmed the crash details while police started investigating what caused the wreck that destroyed his vehicle completely.
