Johana Ng'eno’s Wife Appointed to the Government

Information, Communications, and the Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo has appointed Naiyanoi Ntutu Ng’eno, the widow of the late Emurua Dikirr Member of Parliament Johana Ng’eno, to serve on a government board.

According to a Gazette Notice released on Thursday, April 2, Naiyanoi has been named as a member of the board of the Information and Communication Technology Authority (ICTA). She will serve for a period of three years starting from the date the notice was published.

Her new role will involve helping guide the operations and strategic plans of ICTA, an organization that supports Kenya’s digital development and e-government services.

The appointment was welcomed by ICTA Board Chairperson Lily Ng’ok Kirui, who expressed confidence in Naiyanoi’s ability to contribute to the board’s work. In her message, she said she looked forward to working closely with her and praised her skills and experience.

Naiyanoi first became widely known after the tragic death of her husband, MP Johana Ng’eno, who died in a helicopter crash on February 28, 2026, together with five other people. The accident shocked the country and led to many messages of sympathy from leaders and members of the public.
