Mr Gakuru was involved in a freak road accident on Tuesday morning after his car rammed into a barrier along Thika road at Makenji, Muranga County.
He was rushed to Thika Level 5 hospital awaiting a transfer to a Nairobi Hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
His driver and bodyguard were also seriously injured in the accident.
Earlier this year, another Nyeri Governor, Nderitu Gachagua , passed on while receiving treatment at a London Hospital.
Nyeri Senator Ephraim Maina described the late Gakuru as a kind man who had the interests of Nyeri at heart.
"He was a hardworking man who had a good plan for Nyeri County. He was committed to cleaning the system and it is sad that we have lost him.
"We thank God for the time we had with him," stated Mr Maina.
Gakuru's body will be taken to Lee Funeral Home.
Kenyans took to social media to send messages of condolences to friends and family of the late as well as condoling with the residents of Nyeri County.
