Renown political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has sparked mixed reactions after taking to his official social media accounts to allege a political assassination on Jubilee nominated Senator Victor Prengei.
Senator Prengei who became popular among Kenyans when Jubilee party wanted to kick him out alongside Senator Millicent Omanga over disloyalty last year, died in an accident on Monday night August 16, at Gioto area in Nakuru County.
He was a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto.
His death was death was confirmed by area police boss Beatrice Kiraguri.
Reports indicate that Prengei was heading towards Kabarak direction from Nakuru Town, when the vehicle he was driving lost control and careened off the road before landing in a ditch at 9:45pm.
According to police, it was a self-involved accident, meaning the legislator’s vehicle did not ram an oncoming vehicle or one headed the same direction.
Prengei was rushed to Nakuru War Memorial Hospital, where he died while undergoing treatment.
However, Mutahi Ngunyi has read malice in the manner in which the accident occurred.
Taking to his official Twitter account, the political analyst argued that there is someone who was going to benefit from the death of the lawmaker.
According to Ngunyi, Prengei might have been assassinated through an accident. He further argued that the political beneficiary is the one who killed the senator.
“The QUI BONO question: Who BENEFITS if Senator Victor Prengei is ASSASSINATED through an accident? The political beneficiary is the one who KILLED him. Simple,” he tweeted.
Mutahi Ngunyi’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with a section of netizens telling hi off. Some urged him to stop politicizing the death.
Below are some of the reactions.
