Liz Jackson Breaks Silence After Reports Link Her To Deceased Politician Cyrus Jirongo’s Vehicle

Following the tragic death of former Minister Cyrus Jirongo in a road accident on December 13, 2025, businessman and social figure Liz Jackson has been forced to publicly address persistent online reports suggesting that the vehicle involved in the crash belonged to her.

In a statement released today, Wednesday, December 17, Jackson broke her silence to offer clarification, while extending profound condolences to the Jirongo family.

The politician was killed after his motor vehicle, registration number KCZ 305U, was rammed into by a Climax Company Ltd bus (KCU 576A) at the Karai area along the Nakuru–Nairobi Highway.

Jackson Denies Ownership, Mourns Loss

While Liz Jackson did not deny a possible past association or relationship with the former Minister, she firmly refuted the claims of current ownership of the fateful car, which have widely circulated on social media.

“The loss of the Hon. Cyrus Jirongo is a devastating tragedy for his family and the nation,” Jackson stated. “I have seen the numerous reports online concerning the ownership of the vehicle involved. I want to clarify that while the matter is deeply painful, the vehicle was not mine. I request the public to rely only on official reports from the DCI during this sensitive time.”

Her statement is consistent with the details released by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), which confirmed the registration number of Jirongo’s vehicle.

DCI Investigation Proceeds

Meanwhile, the DCI’s investigation into the fatal crash is moving forward rigorously. Detectives confirmed that preliminary examinations of CCTV footage recovered from Eagol Petrol Station showed a clear timeline of events:

• 2:19:19 a.m.: Jirongo made a right turn to head back towards Nairobi from the station exit.
• 2:19:25 a.m.: The PSV bus rammed into his vehicle.

The driver of the bus, Tyrus Githinji Kamau, has been released on cash bail but is facing charges of causing death by dangerous driving and is required to report to the Naivasha Traffic Base on December 22, 2025, for further police action.

Liz Jackson concluded her statement by urging respect for the privacy of the grieving family and emphasizing the importance of letting the DCI complete its thorough, forensic investigation.
