In a statement released shortly after the tragedy, the President referred to Ng’eno as a friend and noted that the lawmaker was “a progressive and devoted servant of the people who worked tirelessly on behalf of the residents of Emurua Dikirr, Narok County.”
“He was focused, vocal, and fearless; a leader who stood firmly for justice and equity for all,” said the Head of State.
The President highlighted Ng’eno’s legacy of tangible progress and his unwavering commitment to promoting local talent, particularly in music.
