Former Laikipia North MP Mathew Lempurkel Lekidime is dead.
Hon. Lempurkel was admitted ICU following a road accident at Exciting area of Rongai last Sunday.
The car that knocked former Laikipia North MP Mathew Lempurkel on Sunday 17th Aug night was reportedly speeding, according to eyewitnesses.
The incident occurred along Magadi Road in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County, while Lempurkel was crossing the busy highway. Witnesses say the driver appeared to be overspeeding and may have lost control before hitting the former legislator.
Lempurkel sustained minor head injuries and was initially rushed to the nearest health facility for emergency care before being referred to a hospital in Nairobi. Doctors have confirmed that he is in "stable condition and recovering well".
Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the conduct of the driver and the condition of the vehicle at the time of the crash.
