Jirongo, 64, was discovered lifeless in his car at Karai, Naivasha, following a head-on collision with a bus travelling to Busia.

The importance of a thorough inquiry by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations cannot be overstated. In recent years, several prominent figures have died under suspicious circumstances, leaving families and the public seeking justice and closure. It is crucial that Jirongo’s case does not become another statistic in a long list of unresolved deaths.

Justice cannot be selective. If foul play is determined, those responsible must face the full force of the law. The public deserves answers, and the memory of Cyrus Jirongo warrants an investigation that is both thorough and impartial.
