Sorrow and pain have engulfed Mugaani village in Chuka, Tharaka Nithi county, following the tragic death of a prominent politician. When did Kirimi Muturi die? Kirimi Muturi, a former Tharaka Nithi senatorial candidate, died in an accident on Tuesday, March 4. Baite TV reported that Muturi tragically lost his life in a traffic accident near Zero Plus Restaurant in Chuka, along the Meru-Nairobi route. Preliminary investigations indicate that Muturi was driving around Chuka when a boda boda rider appeared in his lane, and he swerved to avoid hitting him.
That spontaneous act of avoiding taking a life on the road cost Kirimi his own life, as he lost control of the vehicle and crashed and was pronounced dead on arrival at a nearby hospital. This heartbreaking loss comes just days after Muturi, a former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Chuka branch chairman, buried his father last Friday, February 28. His last message was on Friday, February 28, when he wished for his father Eustace Muturi’s soul to rest in peace. His fellow local scholars and friends received news of his untimely demise with shock and sadness, describing him as a dedicated lawyer.
