President William Ruto on Friday honoured the requests of families of the departed four victims of the last plane crush that killed mp Johanna Ngeno.
Ruto promised to offers jobs to Wycliff’s widow and Carlos’ siste while else he promised to settle Nicholas’ family.
“May the Almighty God grant comfort and strength to the family and friends of Ng’eno, Were, Kiprotich, Kipng’etich, Kiplang’at and Kipkoech. Rest In Peace,”Ruto said.
He further announced that the government will sponsor the Kalenjin Music Festival, an initiative started by the late Johana Ngeno, with Sh20 million annually for the next five years to support artists and promote local culture.
Ruto said the festival will now be taken over and managed by the Ministry responsible for arts and culture as part of preserving Ngeno’s legacy.
“For the next five years, the government will allocate Sh20 million every year to support this initiative. The programme will be taken over by the ministry responsible for arts so that the work Ngeno started can continue,” Ruto said.
