Chief Justice David Maraga and his wife Yucabeth Nyaboke are receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital after being discharged from War Memorial Hospital in Nakuru.
While appreciating goodwill messages, Maraga assured Kenyans he is in good condition and further called for calm regarding the Saturday, December 22, minor accident which left him with injuries on the forehead.
The two were heading to church when the car they were traveling was hit by an oncoming private vehicle at Ng’ata Bridge along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway. The CJ’s black Mercedes Benz car was badly damaged on its bonnet. “My wife and I were involved in an accident in Nakuru this morning on our way to Church.
We are undergoing medical observation. My driver and aide who were with us are also okay. We thank God for His mercies.

Thank you Kenyans for your prayers and concern,” he later tweeted Doctors attended to the Maragas, driver and a personal aide even though they were airlifted to Nairobi for further check ups.
After the incident, President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered Kenya Defence Forces to airlift the victims to Nairobi for specialised treatment.
