Munene Nyaga, a well-known presenter in a renowned show called Longa Longa aired by Citizen TV, was found allegedly drunk after his car went off the road and ended up in a ditch.
Eyewitnesses reported that he was clearly impaired and needed help from bystanders to get out of his vehicle.
The incident took place late at night while Nyaga was driving through a residential neighborhood. According to witnesses, he lost control of his car, which then crashed into a ditch.
Neighbours quickly rushed to help and found him slumped in his seat, unable to exit the vehicle on his own because he was intoxicated.
People in the local community expressed a mix of concern and disappointment about the incident. Many were shocked to see a public figure in such a troubling situation, especially since media personalities have a strong influence on society.
Some residents took to social media to share their thoughts, emphasising the need for responsible behaviour from those in the public eye.
One resident, who did not want to be named, said, “It’s really sad to see someone we look up to in this condition. This should be a wake-up call for everyone about the dangers of drinking and driving.” Others echoed similar feelings, calling for stricter measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.
As a prominent figure in the media, his actions are now under heavy scrutiny, and this event may damage his reputation.
The incident has brought back discussions about road safety and the dangers of driving while drunk. Local authorities are urging everyone to prioritise safety and make better choices, especially during holiday seasons when people tend to drink more.
As investigations continue, the community hopes that this event will encourage public figures to be more responsible and that there will be a renewed focus on road safety.
