The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has began investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of veteran politician Cyrus Jirongo. He died on the night of December 13, 2025 at Karai area along the Nakuru–Nairobi Highway. 

In its first statement revealing an official probe into the matter, the DCI says it has examined CCTV footage from the night of his death. Interestingly, it shows him driving into Eagol Petrol Station from Nairobi direction but that he did not fuel his car. Minutes later, DCI says, he drives out and turns right towards Nairobi. CCTV then captures the PSV bus ramming into his car.
