Among those who addressed the congregation was his brother, Barnabas Ngeno, who spoke with visible emotion while reflecting on the legacy left behind by the late Member of Parliament for Emurua Dikirr in Narok County.
Standing before the gathering, Barnabas described the moment as one filled with grief but also gratitude for the life his brother lived and the impact he made on many people across Kenya.
“It is a sad moment, but we thank God that we are here. We wish to celebrate the life of our late brother Johana Ng’eno. We cherish his legacy,” he said.
Johana Ng'eno, who tragically died in a helicopter crash in Nandi County, was widely known for his outspoken leadership and strong advocacy for community rights during his time in Parliament.
During the emotional tribute, Barnabas Ngeno emphasized that although his brother’s death had left a deep void, the ideals he championed would continue to guide the community and his supporters.
“We hope that even in his death, it is the beginning of a new journey. With the solid legacy that he left for us, we will continue with what he cherished,” Barnabas told the mourners.
He went on to outline several issues that defined his brother’s public service, including unity among communities, justice for marginalized groups, and support for young talents.
“A united community, a progressive country, the growth of talents of our artists, land rights and justice for the community, that is what he left us. We thank God for that,” he said.
Barnabas also took the opportunity to thank leaders and supporters from across the political divide who had stood by the family during the difficult mourning period.
He acknowledged the presence and support of various national leaders, friends and members of the public who had come to honour the late lawmaker.
“We also appreciate the president and his friends from across the political divide, members from across this country and beyond who supported his dreams and stood with him. We are grateful,” he stated.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Barnabas expressed deep appreciation to everyone who had offered comfort and solidarity since the tragic loss.
“On behalf of the family, we thank you all. Thank you for standing with us,” he said.
He also extended special gratitude to the Narok County Government for the support it had shown the family during the mourning period.
Barnabas concluded his remarks with a heartfelt message of strength and encouragement to Naiyanoi Ntutu, the widow of Johana Ng'eno, asking God to give her courage during the difficult time.
“May God stand with you, the wife of Johana,” he said, drawing a moment of quiet reflection from the congregation.
