Speaking publicly, Khalwale hinted that the former lawmaker's demise could be tied to high-stakes political or business dealings particularly involving gold mining in Western Kenya.
“Jirongo has either died because of politics or business,” Khalwale declared, igniting intense speculation about the potential motives behind the fatal incident. His chilling statement adds weight to growing calls for an independent investigation.
In a striking revelation, Khalwale shared a personal conversation he had with Jirongo shortly before his death. According to the senator, Jirongo had urged him to speak with Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya about resisting external control over newly discovered gold resources.
“Ambia George Natembeya mkatae hii dhahabu imepatikana nyumbani... we want Luhyas to mine that gold ourselves,” Khalwale quoted Jirongo, suggesting the former MP was deeply invested in ensuring local ownership of natural resources.
The implication is clear: Jirongo may have been challenging powerful interests either political or commercial who stood to lose from his determination to keep gold mining rights within the Luhya community.
Photos accompanying Khalwale’s post on Facebook show him emotional and reflective, adding further depth to the gravity of his claims. The post has since gone viral, with Kenyans demanding transparency and answers.
Political analysts note that Jirongo’s strong stance on local resource control, combined with his vocal criticism of certain political actors, may have made him a target.
Whether these factors contributed to his death remains unknownbut Khalwale’s remarks have ensured the matter won’t be buried easily.
As Jirongo is laid to rest, the cloud of uncertainty around his passing continues to thicken, raising a haunting question: Was his death a tragic accident, or something far more sinister?
