Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Helikopta iliyo na watu sita imianguka na kulipuka moto katika kijiji cha Chepkiep, wilaya ya Mosop, kaunti ya Nandi, na kuua wote. Miongoni mwao ni Mbunge wa Emurua Dikirr Johana Kipyegon Ng’eno na afisa wa Kenya Forest Service Amos Kipngetich Rotich. Polisi bado wanafanya uchunguzi.

Ajali ya helikopta ilitokea tarehe 28 Februari 2026, karibu saa 4:45 mchana, wakati helikopta hiyo ilijaribu kuruka tena baada ya kutua kwa dharura kutokana na hali mbaya ya hewa. Helikopta yenye nambari ya usajili 5Y-DSB, aina ya Airbus Helicopters H125, ilitoka Nairobi saa 11:02 asubuhi na inamilikiwa na kampuni yenye ofisi katika uwanja wa ndege wa Wilson.

Kulingana na taarifa za polisi na vyanzo vya karibu na uchunguzi, hakuna aliyenusurika. Polisi wa kaunti ya Nandi wamethibitisha tukio hilo. Wamepata simu ya mkononi na kadi ya SIM ya Mbunge Ng’eno na vifaa sawa vya afisa Rotich eneo la ajali. Picha za abiria wanne waliochukuliwa kabla ya safari ya mwisho zinatumika kutambua wengine wanne.

Ng’eno alichaguliwa kama Mbunge mwaka 2013 na akashinda tena katika uchaguzi wa 2017 na 2022. Alikuwa mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Idara ya Makazi, Mipango ya Miji na Miradi ya Umma, na alikuwa akishiriki katika ukaguzi wa Taarifa ya Sera ya Bujeti ya 2026. Alikuwa pia mwanachama wa Kamati ya Uashiria.

Kenyans.co.ke wamepata na kuangalia picha za eneo la ajali na picha za waliokufa, zinazofanana na picha za awali. Bado hakuna uthibitisho rasmi kutoka polisi au Bunge la Kitaifa kuhusu kifo cha Ng’eno. Uchunguzi unaendelea.
