Elijah Osiemo, an MCA from the Nyamai ward, was recently murdered in a car accident.
On Monday afternoon, the collision happened along Maai Mahiu-Naivasha Road.
MCA Duke Masira of Nyamira Township ward has outlined the sequence of incidents that resulted in the horrific traffic collision.
On Tuesday, Masira announced that he, Osiemo, and Nominated MCA Priscillah Nyatichi were traveling to Nairobi to attend a meeting.
“We met a motorbike that was carrying charcoal. When our driver tried avoiding the motorbike, the rider panicked and veered more into the road. Our driver tried to avoid hitting the motorbike but ended up hitting the sacks of charcoal.”
In Mai Mahiu, Narok County, their vehicle lost control and flipped into the escarpment after they struck the charcoal sacks.
Masira claimed to be sitting in the front seat with the car’s driver, who also happens to be Nyatichi.
“The deceased MCA was at the back with Nyatichi who has been seriously injured.”
Masira reported feeling some pain in his chest and that his left leg, hand, and hand were all seriously hurt.
“All I can say is sorry to the family of my brother Osiemo. He had a very young family.”
Osiemo served as the majority leader of the Nyamira county assembly in addition to being the MCA for the Nyamai Ward.
The two MCAs who survived the collision were sent to Naivasha Level Four Hospital right away for medical attention.
