Original caption

mbona kila saa Gachagua akikuja kalenjin land tunapoteza mtu. Paul Ng’eno, brother of the late Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno Ngong, has sadly passed away while receiving treatment in hospital. His death comes just hours after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua visited the family and pledged to settle his KSh 1.8 million medical bill. The bill was reportedly paid today, but sadly, Paul did not live to see another day. The family had already been mourning the loss of Hon. Johana Ng’eno, who died in a tragic plane crash about six months ago. Paul’s passing has now added another painful loss to the family. May his family find strength and comfort during this difficult time. May Paul Ng’eno rest in eternal peace. Follow this page for the latest updates from home and abroad.
