The Directorate of Criminal Investigations confirmed that passengers who were travelling in a white Probox seen trailing Jirongo's vehicle were interviewed and cleared of any involvement.
Investigators established that the occupants had no connection to Jirongo and were on a separate journey unrelated to his movements.
The vehicle was later confirmed to have been hired for a family assignment and was not linked to the crash.
Homicide investigators probing the case concluded that there was no evidence of foul play and recommended a public inquest.
Their findings indicated that the incident was a traffic accident rather than a criminal act.
Police stated that Jirongo was driving alone when his vehicle collided with a passenger bus along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway near Karai in Naivasha on December 13.
He sustained fatal injuries consistent with a high-impact collision.
Investigators interviewed more than twenty individuals, including the bus driver, passengers, fuel station attendants and motorists who were near the scene.
Authorities maintained that forensic findings so far did not support claims of murder.
Despite the police position, controversy has persisted ahead of the burial.
Leaders from the Western region described Jirongo's death as a major blow to the Mulembe nation and demanded a comprehensive government report.
Former Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa said the community would rely on Tiriki cultural practices during the burial as an alternative path to truth.
He stated that the community was prepared to carry torches during the burial to symbolically seek answers and expose hidden truths.
A requiem service was held in Nairobi, attended by family leaders and security officials.
As burial preparations continue, calls for calm have grown even as sections of leaders insist that unanswered questions remain surrounding
