Museveni Offers Condolences for Late Kenyan MP Jirongo Amid Fuel Deal Scrutiny

Museveni called Jirongo a 'good and patriotic leader' who died on December 13, 2025, from blunt force trauma after his Mercedes hit a bus on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

The note comes as Museveni recalls Jirongo tipping him off around 2019 about Uganda buying fuel through Kenyan middlemen, leading to later reforms like a 2023 Vitol deal that cut costs.

Kenyan President Ruto defends his own 2023 government-to-government imports for stabilizing supply and lowering prices, while critics highlight timeline mismatches and call for investigations into transparency and any death links.
