Seems it was raining and the driver skidded and hit guard rail. Tyre burst and lose of control? Road is wide enough. Or was driver overlapping, overtaking on the road shoulder? Driver and bodyguard may survive.

Was the guard rail well designed? How did it penetrate the car?

Truly sad. Nyeri folks had very high hopes in him. But clearly that was not God's plan.

In comes Governor Mutahi Kahiga a former primary school headmaster at Kiganjo primary school. Later became the KNUT Nyeri branch boss.

Most people may not know this but the governor and his deputy came from the same area. Their homes within 2Km of each other. Somehow, the voters in Nyeri ignored that and voted for the duo.

May he R.I.P

Sad!! Really sad!! RIP!

You almost wish he was on those high end 4 wheel drive vehicles, lakini yote ni ya mungu

Amesoma.....he was a brilliant chap.
