Authorities are delving into a tragic incident where a foreign pedestrian was fatally struck by a vehicle in President William Ruto’s motorcade on Ngong Road. This unfortunate event took place on Thursday afternoon near Adams Arcade, as the convoy made its way from Lang’ata to Kibra constituency.
This was during the President’s Nairobi tour.
National Police Service spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga shared, “Following a serious traffic accident today at Adams Arcade along Ngong Road involving a government vehicle, which led to the death of a pedestrian who is a foreign national, the National Police Service (NPS) is now handling the matter, and investigations have commenced.”
