The sombre ceremony brought together leaders, family members, and residents from across Narok and neighboring counties who gathered to pay their last respects to a man many described as outspoken, fearless, and deeply committed to his people.
Ng’eno and five others lost their lives in a devastating aviation accident in Nandi County, a tragedy that shocked political leaders and residents across the Rift Valley region and triggered an outpouring of grief.
Ntutu described the call as the last conversation he would have with his friend and son-in-law.
He said that Ng’eno had laughed off the distance and insisted he could pick him up in the chopper, not knowing it would be their final conversation.
Ntutu said he had lost not only a political ally but also a close family member, describing the day as the saddest of his life.
He also mourned the death of his personal officer, Rono, the pilot, and several young men from Narok County who were aboard the flight.
Ntutu recalled Ng’eno as not only a close family member but also a trusted political ally.
He highlighted the MP’s frequent visits to Narok and his dedication to supporting local leaders and youth initiatives.
The planned bursary event, he said, reflected Ng’eno’s commitment to education and empowerment.
Leaders from across the political spectrum, including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, attended the service.
Ntutu expressed gratitude to those who supported the families after the crash, noting the swift coordination from Uasin Gishu to Nairobi that helped manage the tragedy.
