The development comes months after Koech announced plans to support Amos' family after visiting their home.
On Thursday, March 12, the lawmaker visited the family where he offered condolences and pledged assistance following the devastating incident.
"Earlier today, I visited the family of the late Amos Kipngetich at their home in Soget Village, Mogondo Ward, Emurua Dikirr Constituency.
"Amos was among the victims of the plane crash that claimed several lives, including that of my colleague, Hon. Johanna Ngeno," he said.
Koech stated that beyond covering education costs for Amos' sibling, he would also ensure that the victim's immediate family members receive better houses.
"In addition to paying school fees for Amos’s sibling, as directed by H.E. the President, I will immediately commence the construction of houses for Amos’s mother and his brothers," he added.
