What Happened on the Night of the Accident?
Nominated Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Nyandarua, Beth Wahito, died in a tragic road accident on Saturday night. The incident occurred at around 11:00 pm along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway as she was heading home from a budget committee meeting held in Naivasha.
According to reports, Wahito was attempting to drive across an intersection when she was struck by a Guardian Angel bus. Nyandarua County Assembly Speaker Stephen Wachira Waiganjo confirmed to Citizen TV that she died on the spot.
How Has the County Responded to Wahito’s Death?
In an official statement, Speaker Waiganjo paid tribute to Wahito’s remarkable service and dedication to her community. “She led with courage, strength, and determination. She was not afraid to speak up for what she believed was right and worked tirelessly to uplift the lives of the underserved in her community,” he said.
Wahito’s sudden death comes as a major loss to Nyandarua County and the broader political landscape in Kenya. Her decades-long involvement in politics has left a lasting impression.
What Was Wahito’s Political Legacy?
Beth Wahito was a seasoned politician with over 30 years of experience in public service. She previously held key leadership positions in the Democratic Party and later became the Nyandarua County chairperson for NARC-Kenya. Most recently, she was serving as the Kinangop coordinator for the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Her death has left a void in the county assembly and among her supporters, who admired her for her bold leadership and tireless advocacy for the underrepresented.
