The wife of the late Johanna Ng’eno, Naiyanoi Ntutu, has sworn an assurance and commitment to stand by the people of Emurua Dikirr.
Naiyanoi has said that she will continue helping the constituents that her husband served until his premature demise.
Delivering a speech at an emotive funeral service in the constituency on Friday, March 6, 2026, Naiyanoi thanked the people of Emurua Dikirr for showing love during the mourning period and promised that nothing could separate her family and the locals, and she would continue helping them as she could.
“Kwa watu wangu wa Dikirr, asanteni kwa upendo wenu; nitaendelea kuwa karibu nanyi, na nitaendelea kuwasaidia kadri ya uwezo wangu. Johanna ulipendwa na utaendelea kupendwa,” Naiyanoi stated.
Loosely translated as “To my people of Dikirr, thank you for your love. I will continue being close to you, and I will help you to the best of my capabilities. Johanna, you were loved, and you shall continue being loved.”
Naiyanoi promises to respect Ng’eno’s mother
The widow has further committed to continue loving Johanna’s mother as her own mother. She also expressed that Johanna loved their children immensely and was committed to continuing raising them in love. She has mourned her husband and acknowledged the gap he has left behind, addressing him as a personal friend and a loving husband.
Ng’eno’s funeral service
The leader and members of the public, led by President Ruto, have gathered at Emurua Dikirr Primary School in Emurua Dikirr constituency for the final send-off of the late MP Johanna Ng’eno. Four other victims who died alongside the former legislator in the unfortunate plane accident in Nandi County were equally honoured by the burial ceremony that was attended by family members, political leaders, friends, and hundreds of residents.
Ng’eno died on February 28, 2026, in a helicopter crash in Nandi County that killed all six people on board. The Airbus H125 helicopter burst into flames after hitting the ground in a forested area near Chepkiep, Mosop Sub-County in Nandi County.
