President William Ruto has led the country in mourning the passing of Johana Ng’eno, the Member of Parliament for Emurua Dikirr Constituency in Narok County.
In a heartfelt condolence message issued on Friday evening, the President said he had received the news with profound shock and deep sadness, describing Ng’eno as a progressive and devoted servant of the people.
“My friend, Mheshimiwa Ng’eno, was a progressive and devoted servant of the people who worked tirelessly on behalf of the residents of Emurua Dikirr,” Ruto stated.
He praised the late legislator as focused, vocal, and fearless, noting that he stood firmly for justice and equity for all. The President added that Ng’eno would be remembered for the tangible progress achieved under his leadership and his commitment to nurturing local talent, particularly in music.
Ruto also extended his condolences to the MP’s family, friends, and constituents, as well as to victims and families affected by the helicopter crash in Mosop, Nandi County.
The passing of Ng’eno marks a significant loss to both his constituency and the national political landscape, with leaders across the divide expected to pay tribute to his legacy in the coming days.
