Ng’eno lost his life in a fatal helicopter accident that cost all those in the plane, including the pilot and four others who were traveling with him.
Reports indicated that the plane, which was heading to Wilson Airport in Nairobi, encountered bad weather and poor visibility.
It is said to have landed briefly outside Chepkiep Forest before taking off and crashing shortly afterwards in the forest.
He was buried a week after the incident in an emotional ceremony attended by family, friends, and political leaders who pledged support to his loved ones and constituents. Ng’eno is survived by his wife, Naiyanoi Ntutu, and their two daughters.
Sudi comforts the Ng’eno family
While the family continues to mourn, leaders close to the late member of parliament have been visiting them to comfort and hold their hands during this difficult time.
Among those who took time to comfort the bereaved family is the Member of Parliament for Kapseret Oscar Sudia close associate of the late member of parliament, who recently hosted the family at his residence in Nairobi.
Sudi shared photos from the visit, showing moments of interaction and reflection with the family.
In his post on Facebook, he explained that the meeting was part of ongoing efforts to maintain close ties following Ng’eno’s death.
“As a long-time friend of the late Johanna Ngeno, I welcomed her family to Nairobi today. It was a follow-up visit after the death of the Emurua Dikirr MP. Even after the burial, our relationship continues to be strong, and we are committed to strengthening family ties,” he wrote.
Netizens give opinions
The post attracted reactions online, with netizens sharing mixed reactions to the gesture. Here are some of the comments shared:
Ogutu Kwach: “Thank you for keeping them in your heart to make them feel comfort when they are very low after the burial of their loved one. The real blow of death occurs after the burial, that is, the time when the bereaved need more friends and relatives to help them grow and be strong from the real pain of losing their loved one. Unfortunately, very few of us pay attention to this and pay attention to visit them, visit them or pay attention after the event. May God give the family of Hon Ng’eno the comfort and strength they deserve.”
Emma Sutton: “After the funeral, when everyone leaves, and the place is very quiet, that’s when the funeral begins.”
Jeez Jeez: “They need that closeness to heal from loss, humanity.”
Yulitah Nasipwondi: “The reality that comes after death…is hard to deal with.”
