Authorities claimed that Mutambu had visited the scene since he had also lost some of his family members in the incident.
“He is currently at the Matuu hospital in Mwingi County where he has been admitted,” Mutambu's aide told K24 Digital.
K24 Digital has established that Mutambu was on his way to Nairobi when his vehicle rolled several times before hitting a tractor.
The accident was confirmed by Mwingi East Police boss Joseph Yakan who refused to indulge more in the incident.
“We are still reaching out to the family before more details can be revealed,” he said.
The passengers were encouraged when two matatus and a lorry passed through the bridge easily, little did they know that they would be involved in the accident that has even attracted the attention of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
