Online users have questioned the circumstances surrounding Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gisairo’s Monday night crash allegedly involving a government-linked Isuzu D-Max.
Gisairo said he was returning from his constituency after spending the day launching development projects and meeting residents when the crash occurred.

In a Facebook post, the MP said the Isuzu D-Max, registration KDX 961T, was speeding when it hit his vehicle from behind, causing it to lose control and roll onto the road shoulder.
His driver, he said, managed to bring their vehicle to a safe stop despite losing the rear right tyre in the impact.
Gisairo said the D-Max was registered to Isuzu Kenya and leased to the Ministry of Interior, a detail that has drawn particular attention online.
He further said the two occupants of the vehicle were assisted at the scene before being taken away in another government vehicle, GKB 787J, shortly after traffic police arrived.
That sequence has prompted questions that investigators will have to address.
The questions emerging include why the two occupants removed from the scene before traffic police completed what Gisairo described as the proper procedures, and who authorised their removal.
It is also not clear who were the occupants, what government duties were they performing and where were they headed when the collision occurred.
“Why did another government vehicle arrive to take them away, who was aboard it and under whose instructions did it act?” one reader asked.
“Was KDX 961T on an authorised government assignment, and can its movements before the crash be established through journey records or tracking data?”
Gisairo said he had reported the matter to relevant agencies and that the Ministry of Interior had identified the two occupants and the officers who allegedly removed them from the scene.
He said he expected the matter to be fully addressed and officers found to have breached the law to face disciplinary action.
The accident comes against the backdrop of Gisairo’s increasingly visible role in opposition politics.
He has been associated with the Linda Mwananchi movement, alongside figures including Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka.
Gisairo has also used public messaging to project a distinctly opposition identity.
In June, he told Parliament that his preferred presidential candidate was former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, declaring: “My future president is, Hon. Matiang’i.”
His political messaging has also found expression in the T-shirts he wears during opposition rallies, making his increasingly recognisable.
For now, however, Gisairo says he is safe, apart from muscle pulls sustained while absorbing the impact.
He thanked supporters for their messages of concern and ended his post with the words, “Sasa tujenge taifa pamoja.”
