REVEALED: What caused Otieno Kajwang’s Heart attack and eventual death.

On Wednesday after Otieno Kajwang was pronounced dead at the Matter hospital, it emerged that he had a bad road accident on Friday last week and his car was completely wrecked.

According to a police report, Kajwang’s driver Mr. Richard Oduor lost control of the vehicle when he swerved to avoid hitting a pothole along the Sondu- Oyugis road. The silver Toyota Prado rolled severally and landed on its left side. The vehicle which now lies at the Oyugis police station is destroyed with windows and side mirrors shattered.

During the accident, Otieno Kajwang‘s body guard’s arm was fractured. Both the senator and his driver were transfered to another vehicle and were complaining of some pains.
