The crash claimed six lives, including those of his pilot, photographer, and a teacher, all of whom were accompanying the MP while assessing flood damage along the Mara River.
In the days following the accident, a resurfaced video of Ngeno speaking to residents in Ololmasani on February 27 has sparked widespread attention. In the recording, Ngeno spoke about the afterlife, reflecting on the idea of a sweeter place beyond this life.
Drawing on biblical references, he told residents that speaking truth often comes at a cost, as exemplified by Jesus Christ, who faced death after sharing his message.
“There is a place far better than this one we live in… I have gone there and seen it myself. When I return, I will take you there so that where I am, you may also be,” he said in the video.
Many Kenyans have interpreted these remarks in light of the crash, describing them as chillingly prophetic.
Others suggest his words may have been metaphorical, perhaps referencing his political ambitions and long-term vision for leadership.
Ngeno’s final interactions have also drawn attention. A close friend, GK Kechwo, revealed that he narrowly missed travelling with the MP due to a delay, a moment that has been widely discussed online.
As the nation mourns, Ngeno’s reflections have prompted conversations about life, faith, and the fragility of human existence.
Kenyans continue to honor his memory, sharing the video and recalling his dedication to public service. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictability of life and the enduring impact of words spoken in the final days.
