Gachagua visits late MP Ngeno family, pledges support for hospitalised relative

He described Ngeno as a close personal friend and said he had travelled to the family home to convey his condolences to Ngeno’s mother, relatives and the wider Emurua Dikirr community.

Nairobi, Kenya – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has reiterated his demand for international investigations into the helicopter crash that claimed the life of former Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno. Gachagua, who referred to Ng’eno as both a political ally and dear friend, suggested that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the UK’s Scotland Yard should lead the probe into potential security breaches that may have caused the tragedy.

Ng’eno's mother had previously requested Gachagua's help in constructing a shelter for her son's grave in Emurua Dikirr, a plea that had not been met by other leaders. Upon visiting Ng’eno’s family to offer condolences, Gachagua vowed to personally undertake the task of protecting his late friend’s gravesite from harsh weather conditions.

He urged the family to select a designer to create a structure that aligns with their desires. Additionally, Gachagua pledged to support a young member of Ng’eno’s family who is currently hospitalized. Describing Ng’eno as a close personal friend, Gachagua delivered his condolences to the family and the Emurua Dikirr community after the air crash in February near Mosop while the MP was en route to an empowerment program in West Pokot.
