Kelvin Rono, the man many Kenyans, in what has emerged to be a case of mistaken identity, believe died on Sunday, following a tragic road crash along Langata Road, has finally spoken out, saying that he is now living in fear.
Writing on his social media page, Rono expressed his shock at the news that had been doing rounds of his death, lamenting that the issue had put unwarranted stress on his family, friends, and colleagues.
Rono added that rumours that emerged, following the crash, that it was a murder cover up linked to the ongoing court case against ex-sports CS Rashid Echesa, had endangered his life.
”The victim is said to have been linked to the Echesa’s alleged fraud now the whole issue placed and linked to me,” he vented.
”In regards to that I would like to request the concerned authority to provide me with security since I am now living in fear in line with the alleged fraud,” he pleaded.
As a means of validating the fact that he was indeed alive and kicking, Rono also shared a video of himself in Karen on Sunday.

”I want to state that I am safe and alive,” Rono is heard saying in the video.
”Here I am in Karen, just having fun,” he adds, sending his sympathies to the actual person who died in the controversial road accident.
According to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) records, the ill-fated Mercedes Benz in question was registered under the ownership of one David Kipruto Rono.
