Osiemo, who is the Nyamaiya ward rep, lost his life on Monday afternoon but it was not until yesterday that the incident was reported to the police.
He was travelling in the same vehicle with the deputy majority leader, Duke Oyagi Masira who represents Nyamira township ward, and nominated Member of the County Assembly, Priscilla Nyatichi.
Naivasha OCPD Benjamin Boen said the accident occurred when the vehicle the MCAs were travelling in hit a boda boda carrying charcoal.
“After hitting the boda boda from behind the car rolled several times into a ditch. The MCA was pronounced dead on arrival at Naivasha hospital,” he said.
Masira and Nyatichi were yesterday transferred to Aga khan with serious injuries but are in a stable condition.
