Pastor seeks Ruto’s help in accomplishing Ng’eno’s dream of building church
The late Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament Johana Ng’eno’s pastor has shared plans that the departed MP had before death struck in a tragic chopper crash.
The cleric told mourners at the burial service of the MP, alongside others who perished in the tragedy, that the lawmaker may have passed on, but the dream lives on.

“Huyu ndiyo alikuwa mchungaji wa Ng’eno, Reverend Kimutai,” said a cleric as he introduced the MP’s local pastor.
He added that the preacher had earlier mentioned their grand plans to build the local church before his untimely demise.
“Wakati leo asubuhi tukikutana na yeye alisema Ng’eno alikuwa na ndoto kwa hiyo kanisa lake (When I met the pastor earlier today, he said they had a dream of building the local church),” he said.
With the MP now gone, the clergy passed on the request to President Ruto, urging him to work with the Narok governor to see the plan accomplished.
“Na hiyo ndoto ya Ng’eno amesema Rais ukamilishie yeye kwa sababu ni wewe anakuona na gavana,” he added.
This loosely translates to: “Following his death, Mr President, the preacher requests that you take up the plan, working with the governor.
The burial service for five victims of the tragedy is underway in Emurua Dikirr with President Ruto in attendance.
Tragic crash
The tragedy claimed the lives of Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament Johana Ngeno, Captain George Were (pilot), forest ranger Amos Kipngetich Rotich, photojournalist Nick Kosgey, teacher Robert Kipkoech Keter and a protocol officer from Narok County, Wycliffe Kiprotich Rono.
Cause of death
Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor confirmed that all six victims died as a result of multiple injuries and burns.
“They died because of multiple injuries and the burns, and these were caused by the helicopter crash,” he stated.
“Upon looking at the bodies, they had varying levels of injuries, which varied from head injuries, chest injuries and spinal injuries. There were also varying levels of burns; some were burnt more than others, but they were identifiable,” he added.
