The Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) says the body of Emurua Dikirr constituency MP Johana Kipyegon Ng’eno, along with five others who died in a chopper crash in Nandi, was extensively burned and damaged beyond recognition. “The bodies are in a very bad shape and cannot even be viewed at the moment,” said Kirwa. The leaders praised Ngeno as an MP who defended the weak in society and spoke his mind openly. The governors and MPs also commended the MP for the work he did to support artists in the region. President William Ruto has expressed profound shock and sadness over the passing of Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno, who died in a helicopter crash in Mosop, Nandi County.
