The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has widened its probe beyond the accident scene at Karai in Naivasha, turning attention to Jirongo’s activities earlier that night in Nairobi and along the Naivasha route.
Investigators are recording statements from individuals he interacted with, including people present at a meeting held at a Karen restaurant shortly before midnight.
Media reports have suggested that Jirongo was accompanied by a woman earlier in the evening before driving towards Naivasha.
Detectives are treating this information as part of a broader effort to reconstruct his last hours, though no official confirmation has been issued regarding the identity of any companion.
CCTV footage recovered from a petrol station near the crash site is now central to the inquiry.
The footage shows Jirongo briefly entering the station in the early hours of the morning before rejoining the highway moments before a collision with a public service vehicle.
The impact was severe, pushing both vehicles significant distances from the point of collision.
A combined team of homicide detectives and forensic experts has secured exhibits and commenced detailed forensic analysis.
The driver of the bus involved has recorded a statement and was released on cash bail pending further investigations.
The DCI has indicated that additional witnesses, including passengers and station staff, are being interviewed as analysis continues.
Once investigations are complete, a comprehensive file will be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions for guidance.
The agency has also conveyed condolences to the family and assured the public of a thorough and impartial inquiry.
