Member of Parliament Johanna Ng’eno is among the six people who died on Saturday, February 28, after the helicopter he was riding in fell in a forested area in Mosop, Nandi County.
Speaking in a video shared on Facebook, a young man identified as Engineer Kipchirchir Mosonik, who was a close friend of the late member of parliament, said that he was one of those who escorted Ng’eno on Saturday, and had even boarded the damaged helicopter.
Mosonik said that the helicopter picked him up Eldoret Saturday morning when he was escorting the MP to Endebess.
“We were on our way to Endebess in Mt Elgon to attend a musician’s event. The MP asked me to accompany him, and I was picked up at the airport in Eldoret,” he said.
After their visit to Endebess, Mosonik said the pilot seemed to be in a hurry, and so he took the MP and a few others, including his photographer, Nick.
However, he did not ride again, as he was returning to Eldoret.
“Along with his assistant, we took a car to Kitale, so that we could get a car to Eldoret. Unfortunately, when we got to Kitale, we got information about a helicopter crash,” he said.
A close friend of MP Ng’eno tells about his last moments.
Mosonik said when he was in the helicopter, he didn’t notice any technicalities or challenges.
“But I wouldn’t know because I don’t know much about helicopters. What I remember is that the captain was in a hurry; I think he wanted to go back to Nairobi,” he revealed.
He also painfully remembered his last moments with the MP after saying goodbye to Endebess. Mosonik said that the MP was happy and in a good mood.
“I said my last goodbye when he was boarding the helicopter. He was very happy. He was very happy to see me in the morning when I joined him. My heart is very heavy. I say rest in peace,” he said.
