15.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Jirongo's Death Investigation Deepened
⌨
The mystery surrounding former MP Cyrus Jirongo's death continued to dominate Kenyan media on December 15. Morning reports highlighted a forensic audit disputing the initial police narrative of a head-on collision, with his family also questioning the official account. Phone records placing Jirongo in Karen hours before the fatal Naivasha crash further complicated the narrative by mid-morning.
The focus intensified throughout the day, with experts now suggesting a more complex two-stage crash rather than a simple head-on collision. Concurrently, Cabinet approved a Ksh5 trillion National Infrastructure Fund, a significant government initiative. Separately, KNEC addressed controversies regarding exam results and examiners' allowances, and President Ruto honored a 'tree-hugging activist' with a state award.
