That's a badly done guard rail up there. If a car gets off the road and runs over it, it would be directed skyward. An ideal guard should be the one with the end bent away from the road.

Does KNHA know about this?
Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

As much disdain as I have for Kenyan politicians, this was one of a very few that I really had high hopes in. I once met him briefly and he really impressed me with his brilliance. Sounded like he had a good head on his shoulders but such is life, it can be so fleeting. May he RIP.

Have no words.May his family find comfort.My prayers especially are for his son who is a candidate.

Meanwhile conspiracy theories have started...that their is a ghostly witness who "eye-witnessed" the Malowa copter crush in Nakuru and this morning "eye-witnessed" governors accident.Suspicion is he could be a hitman.

Rest in Peace Mr. Govenor. I have known him since high school days in Nyeri. Those who no him from then know how far he has come. The last time I we met was early this year. So quiet and reserved that I could not relate him to politics. He was an achiever.

A PhD from a US state university sio mchezo. Also lecturing at UoN and heading Vision 2030 shows the kind of stuff he was made of. Big loss to Kenia.

Quite an enlightening clip. A clear design flaw on highway safety.

RIP to the Governor and condolences to the family and friends.

This incedence also exposes systemic failure on many fronts. It reminds of some recent story of a cargo handler at JKIA facilititating loading contraband in the luggage.

The conspiracy theories are being fueled by two things. First our pathetic media and secondly as Prof. Lukoye Atwoli said we are a society with very few intelligent people.

Citizen TV could by now have counter-checked the guy's story today and confirmed it to be fake. NTV could have done the same for the Nakuru story.

In the Nakuru story he hinted he is a state pilot. Kenya police ? KDF? KWS? KCAA ? That was too much work for NTV.

Today he claimed he was being driven by a female cop. And then he drops the name, Dennis Ngengi Muigai. And that his main concern was securing the firearms inside the governor's vehicle.

He drops so many hints that he is a fraud but our media are so incompetent to pick him out.

Now Citizen TV are asking on their twitter handle who he is.

My respect man. Someone has just told me he hit a rough patch after losing in 2013 to Gachagua. He might have over-spent in the 2013 campaigns. He worked briefly for Mutua in Machakos and when he left he took up an operations director job with a logistics firm. If true, that is a guy who knows how to fall, dust himself and soldier on. In the words of Ludyard Kipling ;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

.......Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Speed kills! I have had the misfortune of being driven by these county drivers and some of them really speed even going up to speeds of 160kph. Our leaders need to encourage safe driving

Just last week, I had the misfortune of being driven by this guy who was driving very fast. I asked him why he was driving that fast and he told me how he had been hired by a politician from Machakos with a strict rule to never drive below 130kph. Also he was instructed to overlap whenever there is traffic

Entry point of the chuma was the headlamp right through the glove box. Nothing much to stop the rails path regardless of car make. Only a high 4 x 4 would he have stood a chance
