Fresh details emerging from phone records and eyewitness accounts have raised serious questions about the official police narrative surrounding the death of businessman and former MP Cyrus Jirongo, whose fatal road crash near Naivasha was initially described as a routine head-on collision.
A forensic audit commissioned by Jirongo’s close associates indicates that his last confirmed phone call placed him in Karen, Nairobi, shortly after 11:00 p.m. on Friday — more than 150 kilometres away from where his mangled vehicle was discovered just hours later.
Jirongo reportedly died at around 2:15 a.m. after his Mercedes-Benz E350 collided with a bus along the Nairobi–Nakuru highway near Karai, Naivasha.
Police initially stated that he was travelling from Nakuru towards Nairobi at the time of the crash.
However, a reconstruction of his final hours paints a conflicting and puzzling timeline.
At 10:58 p.m., former Vihiga Senator George Khaniri placed a call to Jirongo.
Khaniri has since stated that Jirongo was at Karen Oasis, where he was having tea with National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Phone records show the call ended at 11:03 p.m.
Jirongo’s caretaker, Josephat Idoli, corroborated this account, revealing that supper had already been prepared at Jirongo’s Gigiri residence, just 10 to 15 kilometres from Karen.
This places Karen as the last verified location where Jirongo was alive.
Yet, less than three hours later, his body was found inside his vehicle on a highway leading from Nakuru to Nairobi, near Naivasha — a detail that directly contradicts the official police version of events.
The growing inconsistencies have fueled speculation and renewed calls for a thorough, independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Jirongo’s death, with many Kenyans now asking: What really happened between Karen and Karai?
