Media personality and content creator Liz Jackson has responded to mounting online pressure regarding speculation that she owned the vehicle involved in the fatal accident of politician Cyrus Jirongo.
Jackson opted not to engage with the claims, maintaining silence on the allegations that have intensified across social media.
In light of the escalating rumours, Liz Jackson was reached out by Tuko to for clarification regarding the claims that the car belonged to her, as well as reports of an alleged romantic relationship with Jirongo.
“I don’t think I want to comment on anything,” Liz said in response.
Her brief statement marked her first direct response since the rumours began circulating online. She did not address the specific claims.
Speculation Intensifies Online
The need for clarification arose as speculation surrounding the circumstances of the late politician’s death intensified online.
Jirongo died after a head-on collision involving his Mercedes-Benz and a passenger bus along the Nakuru–Naivasha Highway around 3 a.m., according to a police report.
The ownership of the vehicle Jirongo was driving has been central to the online debate. Social media users have circulated claims alleging a personal relationship between Jirongo and Jackson.
Hawk-eyed social media users pointed to past photos shared on Liz’s social media platforms.
In these photos, she was seen posing with a Mercedes-Benz similar to the one reportedly involved in the accident.
Some users alleged that Jirongo had gifted her the vehicle, further fuelling speculation about a possible romantic link.
As the rumours circulated, opinions online remained divided. While some treated the claims as fact, others urged caution due to the absence of verified information linking Jackson to either the vehicle or an alleged relationship.
Unanswered Questions Remain
With Liz Jackson opting not to comment further, questions surrounding the ownership of the vehicle and the nature of her connection, if any, to the late politician remain unresolved.
No official statement has been issued to confirm the ownership of the vehicle or the nature of any relationship between the two.
Meanwhile, Jirongo’s family has continued to focus on funeral preparations, calling for privacy as they mourn his death.
The family confirmed that he will be laid to rest on Tuesday, December 30, at his Lumakanda home. As speculation persists, no additional evidence has been presented to substantiate the claims.
