After Pastor Ng’ang’a, Police On The Spot In Yet Another Fatal Accident Cover-up
Neno Evangelism Church televangelist James Maina Ng’ang’a made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it emerged that he killed Mercy Njeri through reckless driving and tried to dupe everyone as he sought the services of Tigoni Police Station officers who tried to cover up for him.
As we speak, Ng’ang’a is a man under siege after the Director of Public Prosecutions hinted that there is enough evidence to have Ng’ang’a convicted for the accident.
As if that is not lesson enough, another allegation has surfaced showing how police once again are trying to cover up for a MP after his car killed a motorist near some 2-3 weeks ago.
In fact it happened while we were busy crying for justice for the late Mercy Njeri.
And the legislator on the centre of the latest controversy is Borabu MP Ben Momanyi, reports Daily Nation.
According to the paper, “the accident, whose date is given as either July 31 or August 3, involved Borabu MP Ben Momanyi’s Toyota Land Cruiser and a motorcyclist, Mr Ernest Kipkemoi Arusei, who died on the spot.”
According to Eldoret Traffic Police boss Lawrence Analo, the accident occurred 6 kilometres from Eldoret town near Kapseret Centre and involved vehicle registration number KCA 330k which was being driven by Victor Menya, the MP’s driver.
Three officers who went to the scene of the accident were informed there were three occupants in the car at the time, including the MP, but failed to have them record statements, reports Daily Nation.
A senior police officer is reported to have said the MP was not summoned to record a statement because they did not find him on the scene of the accident. However, witnesses say the MP was in the car during the accident. He was with a former EACC top official.
The car indeed belongs to the MP according to records.
The driver was injured during the accident and was later beaten by residents when he tried to flee and later admitted in hospital for three days. However, the report filed by one Constable Wambalo does not indicate this. According to the records though, the car was overtaking improperly.
According to witnesses, the MP’s car was being chased by another car in what is believed to be a dispute over some dealings. After the accident, the MP is said to have headed straight to Eldoret International Airport, flew to Nairobi and then out of the country on the same evening.
On being discharged three days later, the driver went to the police station recorded a statement and said he was alone in during the accident. He also indicated that the accident occurred on 3rd August, implying that by then the MP was in the US.
