Media personality Liz Jackson has finally spoken out following widespread rumours linking her to the late politician Cyrus Jirongo after his tragic death in a road accident.
Jirongo died on Saturday, December 13, in Naivasha, Nakuru County, after the Mercedes-Benz E350 he was driving was involved in a fatal crash. Shortly after news of his death broke, online speculation intensified, with claims that the luxury vehicle belonged to Liz Jackson and that the two were romantically involved.
The rumours gained traction after social media users circulated old photos of Liz posing with a Mercedes-Benz E350 bearing the same registration details as the vehicle involved in the accident. In December last year, Liz had publicly celebrated acquiring the car, describing it as her latest milestone. The resurfaced images led to claims that Jirongo had gifted her the vehicle and had borrowed it on the day of the accident.
Further allegations emerged through anonymous online accounts, suggesting that the two had been in a close relationship. Some claimed that Jirongo had treated Liz generously and that they shared a strong personal bond, though no evidence was presented to support the assertions.
When contacted for comment, Liz declined to address the claims directly. “I don’t think I want to comment on anything,” she said, choosing to remain silent amid the growing speculation. Shortly afterward, she shared a gospel song on her social media, which many interpreted as a quiet response to the situation.
Meanwhile, preparations for Cyrus Jirongo’s burial are underway. According to family representatives, the veteran politician will be laid to rest in Kakamega County, where his parents were buried. Though Luhya tradition often dictates burial at a first wife’s homestead for polygamous men, the family opted for a different arrangement.
Jirongo, a prominent political figure, is survived by several wives and children. His death has sparked national discussion, with many Kenyans mourning his passing while urging restraint and respect for those affected by the tragedy.
