The autopsy results on the body of former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo have been released.

Family pathologist Joseph Ndung’u on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, revealed that Jirongo died from a blunt force trauma that caused severe injuries to the chest, abdomen, spine, and legs.

Jirongo succumbed to injuries sustained in a road traffic accident involving his Mercedes-Benz and a Climax Coaches bus at Karai area along the busy Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Tuesday, December 16, released new details into the circumstances surrounding the death of Jirongo, and revealed that it had kicked off a probe into his death.

The DCI stated that the collision occurred at approximately 2:19 a.m., resulting in a head-on collision. Investigators say the force of the crash pushed Jirongo’s vehicle about 25 metres from the point of impact, while the bus came to rest roughly 50 metres away.

“Preliminary investigations reveal that the accident involved Hon. Jirongo’s motor vehicle, registration number KCZ 305U, and a public service vehicle (PSV) bus, registration number KCU 576A, belonging to Climax Company Ltd. The collision occurred at approximately 02:19 A.M., resulting in a head-on impact that pushed the deceased’s vehicle about 25 metres from the point of impact, while the PSV bus came to a stop approximately 50 metres away,” the DCI stated.

A combined team of homicide detectives and forensic experts from the National Forensic Laboratory visited the scene, documented evidence, and secured key exhibits. Among the critical evidence recovered was CCTV footage from Eagol Petrol Station, located near the crash site.

According to the DCI, preliminary analysis of the footage shows that at 2:18:40 a.m., Jirongo drove into the petrol station from the Nairobi direction but did not refuel. At 2:19:10 a.m., his vehicle stopped at the station’s exit before making a right turn back towards Nairobi at 2:19:19 a.m.

Moments later, at 2:19:25 a.m., the CCTV captured the PSV bus ramming into his vehicle.

Detectives have interrogated the bus driver, Tyrus Kamau Githinji, who had earlier recorded a statement at the Naivasha Traffic Base. He has been released on cash bail pending further investigations into the offence of causing death by dangerous driving.

The driver is expected to report back to the Naivasha Traffic Base on December 22, 2025, for further police action.
