Paul Ng'eno, brother of the late Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament Johana Ng'eno, died in hospital where he had been undergoing treatment following a motorbike accident, just six months after his younger brother's death.
Who was Johana Ng'eno?
Now, a video capturing Paul in seemingly good spirits at Johana's burial has emerged online, casting the footage in a deeply sorrowful light.
In it, he appears composed and engaged, a man who had no way of knowing that the occasion would turn out to be among his final public appearances.
Johana Ng'eno, who served as the MP for Emurua Dikirr Constituency, died earlier in 2026. Paul attended and spoke at the burial, and the footage of that moment has now taken on a painful new meaning for those who knew him.

Paul had reportedly been owed a hospital bill settlement.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua had pledged to settle a Sh1.8 million hospital bill related to the family before Paul's passing.
The clip was shared on August 21, 2026, by Facebook user Sec Regen Kip, who accompanied it with a message directed at the Ng'eno family's mother, calling for her to receive comfort and strength as she grieves the loss of two sons.
