The family of former Lugari MP, Cyrus Jirongo, is demanding an investigation into his sudden death following a fatal accident on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway on Saturday, December 13. Family and friends, including former Westlands MP Fred Gumo, suspect foul play regarding the circumstances of his death. The accident occurred in a head-on collision on a notorious blackspot at Karai, reinforcing the Nakuru–Naivasha Highway's reputation as one of Kenya's deadliest roads. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta paid tribute to the late Cyrus Jirongo, remembering him as a bold and principled leader who worked tirelessly for the nation.
