The footage, recorded during a political gathering in Endebess on Saturday, February 28, shows Ng’eno calm, confident, and deeply engaged with the crowd as he spoke about leadership, development, and the road to the 2027 General Election. Unbeknown to those present, the address would be his final message to the public.
Ng’eno, who died when an Airbus H125 helicopter (registration 5Y-DSB) crashed and burst into flames in the Chepkiep area of Mosop, used the opportunity to urge voters to shift away from personality-driven politics and instead judge leaders by tangible development outcomes.
“There is no leader who will be elected because of how they look or how well they speak,” Ng’eno told the crowd.
“Votes will only be given based on the work you have done for the people.”
In the video, the outspoken MP also emphasised the need for peaceful political competition ahead of the 2027 polls, warning supporters against chaos and violence during campaigns.

He reminded attendees that Kenya had roughly 16 months before the next election cycle and that the focus should remain on service delivery rather than political theatrics.
Ng’eno further expressed confidence in President William Ruto securing a second term, citing what he described as a strong development record.
“We want a peaceful process,” he said as applause rang out. “And because of the work the president has done, we know we will give him another term.”
He also addressed the broader political landscape, stating that he had no issue with rival politicians traversing the country to sell their agendas.

Referring to figures such as former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, Ng’eno said all leaders should be free to campaign, but ultimately be judged by their performance.
As the speech progressed, the helicopter assigned to transport him and his team could be seen hovering nearby, signaling it was ready to depart. Ng’eno briefly acknowledged this, drawing light laughter from the crowd.
“Ninaona ndege imeanza kusogea,” he said. “Sitaki iniwache. Lakini ni lazima nikamilishe kazi ya watu.”
Before leaving the podium, he made a KSh300,000 donation to support the local event, then concluded his remarks and walked toward the aircraft—unaware it would be his final journey.
Moments later, the helicopter lifted off, only to encounter poor weather conditions that forced an attempted emergency landing.

It crashed shortly after takeoff and burst into flames, ending the lives of Ng’eno, the pilot, and four others.
