Sunday, December 23, 2018-Chief Justice, David Maraga, was involved in an accident on Saturday along Nakuru-Eldoret highway when he was heading to a church function with his wife.
Police have released scanty details on the accident and here are some unanswered questions on the Saturday morning accident that almost claimed the life of the Chief Justice.
1. Was Justice Maraga’s driver trying to overtake before the accident took place?The car could have been knocked on the left if the driver was trying to overtake. No-one has come out to say what really ensued.
2. Was Justice Maraga’s driver on the wrong side?Was the car being driven on the wrong side of the road all through before it avoided hitting an oncoming vehicle hence causing the accident?
3. Justice Maraga was injured on his fore-head; was he strapped up?
A Mercedes Benz S350 is so spacious inside that one wonders if he didn’t have have his safety belt, leading to the head injury on impact.
A Mercedes Benz S350 has also plenty of leg room in the front and rear seats.
4. Where is the other vehicle that knocked the CJ’s car? Where are the occupants?
According to Nakuru’s regional traffic commandant Ziro Arome the vehicle that knocked CJ Maraga’s car was speeding. But no photos of the vehicle has been shared. which begs the questions how badly was it is damaged, who and where are occupants?
