The sad incident happened in Machakos County and quickly caught the attention of people across the country. Friends, family, and supporters could not believe that the two had lost their lives in such a painful way.
According to reports shared on social media, the accident happened when the politician was taking his wife to a nearby clinic. It is said that the journey was urgent because his wife was heavily pregnant and needed medical attention.

The heartbreaking news has led to an outpouring of grief online, with many Kenyans sending their condolences to the family.
Some citizens have blamed the government, saying poor road conditions may have contributed to the accident. Others are calling for better road safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
Authorities have also urged drivers to follow traffic rules carefully and avoid reckless behavior to save lives.
This tragic loss serves as a painful reminder of how fragile life can be.
