He described the late lawmaker as a close friend and a brother. “I have lost a friend and a brother.
He was a brave man; a conviction politician,” Kaikai wrote, capturing the pain of losing someone he deeply valued.
According to the seasoned journalist, Ng’eno was a man who never shied away from standing up for what he believed in.
He said the late MP was guided by strong principles and remained loyal to the causes he supported, even when faced with criticism or opposition.
Kaikai noted that such courage is rare in politics, where many leaders often shift positions for convenience.
He described Ng’eno as a self-made leader who worked his way up through determination and hard work.
In his tribute, Kaikai reflected on how the MP earned respect not just in Parliament but also among his constituents.
He said Ng’eno had built his name through dedication to public service and a clear commitment to the people he represented.
Kaikai also expressed disbelief at how suddenly Ng’eno’s life was cut short. He said the news of the crash felt unreal and painful, especially given the close bond they shared.
For him, the loss was not just national but deeply personal. “A self-made leader and a champion of the causes he believed in. That was rudely sudden. Rest in peace, my friend,” he added.
The journalist’s tribute has resonated with many Kenyans who have continued to send messages of condolence to Ng’eno’s family and friends.
Across social media, leaders, colleagues, and members of the public have remembered him as bold, outspoken, and passionate about development in his constituency.
