Late MP Johana Ng’eno’s brother dies hours after Gachagua promise
Paul Ng’eno, brother of the late Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno, has died after a long illness, the family has confirmed.
Paul Ng’eno, brother of the late Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno, has died after a long illness, the family has confirmed.
Paul died on Friday, August 21, just hours after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua visited his family and committed to settling his Ksh1.8 million hospital bill.
According to the family, Paul had been battling an illness for an extended period and was receiving medical treatment in Eldoret when he died.
Reports indicate that the brother of the late MP had been receiving treatment following a motorbike accident some time ago that affected his spinal cord and throat area.
He underwent surgery recently and was reportedly stable as he was being prepared for discharge.
“Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated a few hours ago, and he sadly passed away this evening,” the family stated.
Paul’s death comes 174 days after his younger brother Johana died in a fatal helicopter crash on February 28.
On February 28, Johana Ng’eno tragically died alongside five other people when the helicopter they were travelling in crashed in Nandi County.

The Airbus H125 went down at about 4:45pm in Chepkiep Village, Mosop Sub-County, amid heavy mist and poor weather conditions. The helicopter reportedly struck three trees before tumbling and bursting into flames, killing everyone on board.
During the visit to the homestead of the family of Ng’eno on Friday, Gachagua also pledged to build a mausoleum in honour of the late MP, whose death the DCP party leader has maintained should be probed by Scotland Yard and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Paul grew up alongside five siblings and was the only brother of the late MP and the only surviving son of the family matriarch, Mary Temas, popularly known as Mama Mary.
His father, Ngong Ngeno Ole Kisiara, died years earlier, leaving behind a legacy that Johana frequently honoured by incorporating his father’s name into his public identity.
Paul’s surviving siblings include his sisters Elizabeth Chumo and Sarah Temas. Another sister, Janeth Chepkosgei, died before Johana.
