Kirinyaga officials of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) are in mourning following the mysterious death of their colleague, Mr Geoffrey Gitobu.
Mr Gitobu, the returning officer for the Gichugu Constituency, collapsed and died on Monday.
Mr Gitobu’s death was reported by his brother on Monday afternoon, according to Laikipia East police chief John Tarus.
“A brother of the deceased made a report at the police station on Monday afternoon. The report indicated that Mr Gitobu was driving within Nanyuki town when he felt dizzy and was rushed to a private hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival,” said Mr Tarus.
The police boss said the report made by Mr Gitobu’s brother was brief and did not indicate if he had any underlying medical condition prior to his death.
