A family in Nyeri County is now questing for justice after their kin was hit and killed by a politician’s motorcade that was headed to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s meeting with Mt Kenya leaders in Sagana.
According to reports, Christopher Nderitu was run over by three vehicles 200 meters from his home in Karunda on the Chaka-Sagana road.
Speaking to a local daily, the now widow Fortunate Muthoni appealed to the police to arrest those responsible.
“My husband was disabled and I do not understand how someone like him could die like that,” she said.
The witness who accompanied Nderitu confirmed to the police, one of the vehicles which hit Nderitu had tried to overtake on a speed bump.
“We saw the vehicles coming from Chaka at a very high speed. I cautioned Chris about how dangerous they were moving but he told me not to worry because he was sure they could see him and keep to their side of the road,” stated the witness.
However, the motorcade did not slow down but rather hit the disabled man. The first vehicle hit him, sending him off his wheelchair as the other two ran him over.
The convoy stopped as the accident attracted nearby residents who came to Nderitu’s aid. Police officers soon rushed to the scene to clear the mess.
The three vehicles along with Nderitu’s wrecked wheelchair were towed to Naromoru police station’s impound yard.
Police officers from Kieni East police Division in Sagana confirmed they inspected the vehicles and released them to their owners the same day.
