Presidential aspirant and Deputy Party Leader of the Justice and Freedom Party (JFP), Reuben Kigame, narrowly escaped death following a road accident on March 1 along the Kapsabet–Chavakali road.
In a statement shared on X, Kigame said the incident occurred at about 5:00 a.m. near Shiru, a section of the highway widely regarded by motorists as hazardous due to its poor condition. He explained that a speeding bus was overtaking recklessly, its full headlights glaring directly into his vehicle.
To avert a head-on collision, Kigame’s driver swerved off the road, causing their vehicle to veer into a roadside ditch.
