Ng’eno served the people of Emurua Dikirr in Narok County for three consecutive terms, earning admiration for venturing into politics at a young age and cultivating a strong grassroots network.
As Kenyans continue to mourn his tragic death in a chopper crash in Nandi County, many have revisited the lighter moments of his life, particularly the playful teasing he endured for remaining single well into his 40s.
For years, the outspoken legislator was the subject of jokes from friends, colleagues and even close family members over his bachelorhood.
Despite the pressure, Ng’eno remained focused on his political responsibilities, choosing to marry later in life at the age of 44.
During his colourful wedding ceremony in 2018, President William Ruto, who was then Deputy President, humorously welcomed him into married life.
“I am happy you can now settle down as a family man. The problems we have had with you in the past are now water under the bridge.
You are now an elder. Welcome to the married club,” Ruto quipped, drawing laughter from guests at the high-profile event.

Ng’eno’s mother had also consistently urged him to settle down, expressing her desire to see grandchildren.
On one occasion, she reportedly asked him whether he intended to give her grandchildren when she was too old to enjoy them.
Though he delayed marriage despite mounting pressure, those close to him say he eventually embraced family life wholeheartedly.
As tributes continue to pour in, many remember him as a devoted husband, father and leader whose life balanced public service with deeply personal milestones.
