Makueni Governor Mutula's car involved in road accident

Newly elected Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Junior's car was early Thursday involved in a road crash hours before his swearing into office.

The car, which is said to have had three passengers on board, veered off the Machakos-Wote highway and landed in a ditch.

According to reports, all three occupants – who were headed to Mutula’s swearing in ceremony - escaped without injuries.

Governor Mutula was however not in the car at the time of the accident as he was already at Unoa grounds, Wote town, where the ceremony was being held.

The event was presided over by Justice Robert Limo and outgoing Governor Prof. Kivutha Kibwana handed over the instruments of power to Mutula and his deputy Lucy Mulili.
