Speaking during a memorial service at AGC Karen, Ntutu recounted that Ng’eno had called him on the morning of the crash to invite him to Nandi, where he planned to issue bursary cheques to needy students in Kapsasain Ward.
Although Ntutu said he was far away in Maji Moto, Narosura, Ng’eno offered to pick him up in his helicopter.
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.
