His death came just hours after the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Leader Rigathi Gachagua committed to clearing the Ksh1.8 million hospital bill that had accrued during his treatment.

Gachagua, who accused the government of abandoning Mama Temas and her family, claimed that no state official had offered to help foot the bill.

“I have told Ng’eno’s mother that we will take care of the bill. Together with my friends, we will settle the matter and ensure that her son, who is in hospital, is taken care of,” he stated.

He further promised the mother of the deceased Ng'eno brothers that he would build a mausoleum for the late Johana Ng'eno, and instructed designers to come up with a design.

The former Deputy President further disclosed that he had shared some of his harvest with the family, bringing in several sacks of foodstuffs.

"As a son of the Mountain, I was honoured to share some of my agricultural produce with Mama Mary Temas, symbolising the continued bond and friendship that no one can break. 

Once again, we extend our deepest condolences. May God comfort you, Mama," Gachagua disclosed.

The former DP claimed that the government had tried to stop him from visiting the Ng'eno family. He further thanked the locals for guaranteeing his safety during his visit.
