Some leaders described the survival as miraculous considering the intensity of the accident as explained in the MP’s statement.
Although no official police report had been released by the time of publication, the incident is expected to attract further attention once authorities complete preliminary investigations into the cause of the crash.
Political leaders from across Kiambu County continued to send messages wishing the MP and his team quick recovery from the traumatic experience.
The accident comes at a time when leaders have intensified movements across constituencies for development activities and public engagements.
As investigations continue, supporters and residents remain hopeful that the legislator and his aides will fully recover and resume their duties without complications following the frightening incident.
