Thursday, December 25, 2025 - The sudden death of Evans Mwaura Githua, CEO of Nairobi-based IT solutions firm, Com Twenty One, has left Kenya’s tech community reeling in pain.Fresh details from his will reveal that Githua requested his body be cremated within 24 hours of his passing - a wish his family will honor with a private ceremony on Christmas Day, attended only by close relatives and friends.A requiem mass was held in Nairobi on Christmas Eve, though attendance was limited as many had traveled for the holidays.Police reports indicate that Githua, 51, took his own life after allegedly jumping from the 14th floor of a Kilimani apartment along Kasuku Road.Investigators say he checked into the short-stay Airbnb on Tuesday evening, and his body was discovered the following afternoon behind Alba Apartments.Evidence inside the apartment pointed to self-harm prior to the fall, including wrist injuries, blood traces across the bedsitter, and items in the shower suggesting earlier attempts to end his life.Security footage and forensic findings supported the conclusion.The news has shocked the business community, especially as Githua had recently secured major deals that strengthened Com Twenty One’s position as a leading ICT solutions and systems integration company with branches across Kenya.The Kenyan DAILY POST

William Mutai, the Member of County Assembly for Keringet Ward and Majority Leader of the Nakuru County Assembly, and the same is managed by his wife.It is alleged that, on December 11th, 2025, the wife hired out the vehicle to Denis Kipyegon Koech, who intended to transport family members to JKIA, Nairobi, to receive their son returning from New Mexico University in the USA.Denis Koech and his family departed Keringet for Nairobi on December 12th, 2025, arriving at JKIA at 5:00 p.m.Their son’s flight landed at around 10:00 p.m, and after completing clearance formalities, the family commenced their return journey to Keringet shortly after midnight.While en route, and upon reaching Karai, the scene of the accident, they stopped at Eagol Petrol Station to refill their wiper fluid due to poor visibility.During this brief stop, they observed the deceased exiting the station and heading in the Nairobi direction.Moments later, as they refilled the fluid, they heard a loud bang and saw a bus dragging the deceased’s vehicle.After completing the refill, they exited the petrol station and briefly stopped near the accident scene at the request of the petrol station guard, who sought their assistance in rescuing the victim.They did not alight from their vehicle but instead used their headlights to illuminate the wreckage, as it was dark and no other vehicles had yet arrived.They left the scene after other motorists began to arrive and traffic started building up, proceeding with their journey and arriving home at around 6:00 a.m, where they later learned that the victim of the accident was Hon. Cyrus Jirongo.The DCI is interrogating the veracity of the claims and reassures the family, friends, and the people of Kenya that thorough and impartial investigations into this incident are ongoing.

I have donated, and I have built,” he said, adding that a new vision revealed the current ark could not accommodate the growing crowds. According to him, the vision showed people arriving from across the country and beyond, overwhelming the space. After consulting with other men of God, he claims divine intercession granted more time to build additional arks. “God has given us some time to build more arks in addition to the 10,” he declared.
