TUKO.co.ke recently highlighted the MP after a video went viral online showing him explaining that his decision to marry at the age of 44 was driven by intense pressure from his aging mother as well as his political opponents.
For many years, the member of parliament faced ridicule in public and was often told by his opponents to “find a wife” before criticizing the government, while his mother repeatedly pleaded with him to find grandchildren to fill their home.

How did Johana Ng’eno find his wife?
He finally fulfilled their wishes in 2018 by marrying Naiyanoi, who is the nephew of the governor of Narok.
At his funeral, Ntutu brought a few smiles to the mourners by sharing how they were pressuring Ng’eno to marry, but eventually he married out of their family.
“Johana was my friend and also my son-in-law. There are three things I remember about him. I met him for the first time in Kilgoris in 2011. He told me he would run for the Emurua Dikirr seat if the area had a constituency, and I told him I would run for the Narok West seat. When we were all elected, we worked as neighbors. But every time we returned home, he would take me to his mother’s house for dinner. One day I asked him, when will we go to my wife’s house He said he was still looking and I told him he was late. he said.
According to Ntutu, after the 2013 general election, Ng’eno followed him and told him he had good news.
He later told her that he planned to marry from his family, which made Ntutu tell him that they had many girls.
“He told me I will marry in your family, because you have been pressuring me to marry, now I will marry in your house. I told him there are many, and he said calm down. And he really found his wife, Naiyanoi Ntutu, and I am grateful that since they got married, they have had two daughters. And I want to tell the Ng’eno family, in African traditions, this is not ours; even if Ng’eno is gone, she will continue to be his wife until God reunites us,” added Ntutu.
