Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has urged an independent investigation into the crash that killed former MP Johanna Ng’eno. Speaking at a rally in Emurua Dikirr on August 21, 2026, Gachagua called for Scotland Yard or FBI involvement, citing concerns over the aircraft’s refuelling procedures. The incident has sparked political debate, with Gachagua visiting Ng’eno’s family shortly after the tragedy.
Kenyan media reported heightened political activity ahead of the 2027 elections, with Gachagua and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka reportedly discussing power-sharing arrangements. While the crash remains under investigation, Gachagua’s public stance highlights growing scrutiny over governance and accountability. The political tensions underscore the evolving landscape ahead of the next electoral cycle.
