Political leaders, legal experts, and members of Jirongo’s family have raised serious questions, arguing that the incident may not have been a simple traffic accident as initially suggested.
They are calling on security agencies to go beyond routine investigations and fully account for the former legislator’s final movements.
Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has been among the most vocal voices questioning the events leading up to Jirongo’s death.

Speaking after revisiting the timeline of that night, Amisi said nothing appeared unusual when Jirongo left Karen late in the evening of Saturday, December 13, 2025.
According to Amisi, Jirongo had spent time with longtime friends, people who knew his habits well and had previously seen him drive safely even after social gatherings.
“There was no sign that this night would end differently from many others,” Amisi said, noting that Jirongo was familiar with night driving and had done it many times before without incident.
However, what raised suspicion, Amisi explained, was not recklessness but the unexpected route Jirongo appeared to have taken.

Reports suggest that instead of heading home as usual, the former MP drove past his normal turn-off and found himself on unfamiliar roads.
“He drove through the Southern Bypass, passed Kikuyu and Limuru, went through the Kinungi stretch known for heavy mist, and even made it through Gilgil late at night,” Amisi said.

“He managed bumps, corners, headlights, and overtaking without any trouble.”
This, according to the MP, raises questions about why a man who successfully navigated such difficult terrain would suddenly be involved in a fatal crash shortly afterward.
Prominent lawyer Kibe Mungai has also called for deeper scrutiny, arguing that the current narrative leaves too many unanswered questions. He pointed out that most of the information about the crash comes from a single source.
“In a normal accident, there are usually multiple accounts or independent witnesses,” Mungai said.

“In a normal accident, there are usually multiple accounts or independent witnesses,” Mungai said.
“In this case, we seem to be relying on one version of events, which is concerning.”
Mungai further questioned why Jirongo was on the Nairobi–Nakuru Highway in the early hours of the morning, noting that there was no known reason for him to travel to Naivasha that night.
“Based on what we know about his routines, it does not make sense that he would be in Naivasha at that hour on his own,” he added.

“The absence of bystanders, passengers, or independent evidence at the scene raises even more concerns.”
Jirongo’s family has also demanded clear answers from the government. They revealed that the former MP was expected to return to his Gigiri home in Nairobi on Friday, December 12, but never did.
Instead, they were later informed that he had been involved in a crash in Naivasha while reportedly driving back toward Nairobi.
“How did he end up in Naivasha, and why was he driving back to Nairobi when he had no known business there?” asked George Khaniri, co-chairperson of the burial committee.

“That is the question we need answered.”
Former Westlands MP Fred Gumo echoed the family’s concerns, urging authorities to use available technology to reconstruct Jirongo’s final journey.
“There are cameras everywhere today,” Gumo said. “We want security agencies to show us where this vehicle went from the moment it left Karen, how it reached Naivasha, and what happened before it turned back.”
The family has emphasized that only a transparent and independent investigation can provide closure.

They are calling for a review of CCTV footage along highways, residential areas, and petrol stations, as well as mobile phone and vehicle tracking data.
