Surveillance footage from Eagol Petrol Station in Naivasha has been a crucial part of the investigation.
The cameras captured Jirongo arriving from Nairobi at 2:18:40 am, pausing briefly at the station without refuelling, and then leaving at 2:19:19 am. Just six seconds later, the Climax bus collided with his Mercedes-Benz.
The force of the collision propelled Jirongo’s vehicle approximately 25 metres, while the bus came to a stop nearly 50 metres away from the impact site. Jirongo sustained severe injuries, including broken legs, and succumbed instantly. Forensic teams from Nairobi are examining the crash scene to secure additional evidence.
The DCI has emphasized that the investigation remains active and is being conducted with utmost professionalism. Officials have assured Jirongo’s family and the public that all evidence will be carefully reviewed to determine accountability.
