Gachagua Commits to Building Mausoleum for Late Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed to build a mausoleum for the late Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament, Johana Ng’eno. The pledge came during a visit to Ng’eno’s family in Mogondo, Narok County, where Gachagua paid his respects.

Ng’eno’s mother, Mary Temas, appealed to Gachagua to help protect her son’s grave from the elements by constructing a mausoleum. She explained that previous efforts to build such a structure had not materialized.

Responding to the request, Gachagua affirmed his commitment to oversee the mausoleum’s construction personally. He asked the family to provide a design reflecting their preferences to ensure the final structure meets their expectations.

"This leader was a close friend of mine," Gachagua said, emphasizing his resolve to honor Ng’eno's legacy by safeguarding his resting place from rain and other damage.

Additionally, Gachagua pledged support to Ng’eno’s brother, who is currently hospitalized, promising assistance during his recovery.

Calls for Investigation into Ng’eno’s Death

Gachagua described the late MP as a strong advocate for equity and justice, whose sudden death left many questions unanswered. He urged authorities to launch a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ng’eno’s demise, suggesting the involvement of international agencies such as Scotland Yard or the FBI to uncover the truth.

Johana Ng’eno died in a helicopter crash on February 28 in Nandi County, an accident that claimed five other lives. His funeral on March 6 was attended by President William Ruto, senior government officials, and members of Parliament.

Following his visit, Gachagua instructed designers to prepare a mausoleum plan acceptable to Ng’eno’s family and directed that construction begin promptly.
