Alfred Mutua's near death experience

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has opened up about two traumatic incidents in which he almost lost his life.

In an interview with Pulselive.co.ke, Mr Mutua first spoke about a freak accident he was involved in while riding a horse.

The former Government spokesperson got into the accident while organizing a music event for his firm, Golden Dreams company.

"I fell from a horse and it nearly killed me. I was preparing for East Africa Music awards my company had put together,” he said.

This resulted in the Governor’s decision never to ride a horse in his life ever again.

The second near-death incident was when he was a little boy living in Kibra. A playful Mutua built a go-kart which together with his friends, they took turns to push each other downhill.

On the fateful day, Mutua was pushed downhill and sped onto the road where a car missed running over him by a whisker. He proceeded to fall into a ditch and hit his head on the concrete.

"When I was a kid we were playing and we were quite stupid. We were making go-karts which we would sit on at a high place then push each other downhill.

"So one time as I going downhill at high a speed and went straight into a road. Luckily I managed to pass before a car ran me over,” he narrated.

A distinct mark was left on his forehead to remind him of the day.
