Interesting details now reveal that the late Nyeri Governor
Wahome Gakuru knew he would die in a road accident.
Making the revelations on Tuesday during memorial
prayers held at the Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, the new
county boss - Mutahi Kahiga - stated that the deceased Governor had more than
once complained about his Mercedes Benz.
“He told me three or four times, my brother this car will
one day kill me,” Kahiga said.
According to Mr. Kahiga Gakuru’s car was faulty and they had
both agreed that he would not use while traveling outside the County.
He told congregants that he was shocked when he heard that
Gakuru was involved in a road accident by the same Mercedes Benz he was always
skeptical about.
“Up to today, I keep asking everybody who bothers to listen.
How did Wahome Gakuru find himself in the Mercedes Benz outside Nyeri when we
had agreed with him not to use it because it was faulty,” the new Nyeri
Governor said.
Kahiga, who was sworn in on Monday after the untimely death
of Mr. Gakuru, added that he had even given the deceased his car to use.
“I handed over my Mitsubishi Pajero to the governor [who],
in some instances, used his personal cars. He thought mine was safer and
faster,” he said.
Earlier police disclosed that the Governor car had a
tyre burst which led to the fatal accident. However, his driver divulged that
he was evading hitting bodaboda rider when he smashed through the guard rail.
