The Kipsigis community is in deep mourning following the tragic death of Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament, Johana Kipyegon Ngeno.
As families, friends, and leaders continue to send messages of condolence, photos of his young daughters have resurfaced online, touching the hearts of many Kenyans.
According to reports, the MP was among seven people who boarded a helicopter that later crashed and burst into flames.
The group was said to be travelling to Endebess in Trans Nzoia County after touring the Mariant area earlier in the day.
Witnesses say the helicopter went down just hours after the tour, leading to a deadly fire that left no survivors.
Among those believed to have been on board was renowned journalist Nicholas Kosgei, as well as a representative linked to the betting company SportPesa.
Authorities have not yet released the full list of passengers, and investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing.
Leaders from across the country have expressed shock and sadness over the loss of the outspoken legislator.
Johana Ngeno was known for his bold political statements and active role in national debates. His sudden death has left a big gap in the leadership of Emurua Dikirr Constituency and among his supporters.
Beyond politics, many Kenyans have been remembering him as a family man.
For many years, Johana Ngeno was known as one of the country’s most famous bachelors, something that often attracted public attention and political jokes.
However, in August 2018, he married his fiancée, Ms. Nayianoi Ntutu, in a colorful ceremony attended by family and close friends.
The couple was blessed with two beautiful daughters. Following news of his death, photos of the young girls have been widely shared on social media, with many expressing sympathy for the family.
Kenyans online have described the images as heartbreaking, as the children are now left without their father at a very young age.
