Alice Ng’ang’a’s dramatic display of wealth and opulence

The flamboyant lawmaker has been the subject of viral videos on social media, flaunting her wealth and luxurious lifestyle.

In the videos, the female MP is seen executing killer dance moves inside a compound with new high-end cars in the background.

Alice Ng’ang’a makes the list of shame for voting against the people

Amid escalating calls for recalls of all MPs who supported the punitive bill, Hon. Ng’ang’a has emerged as one of the first lawmakers likely to face removal, judging by the enraged tweets.

She is joined in the infamous by fellow UDA MPs including;

1. 1. National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwa
   2. South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro
   3. Finance Committee Chair Kimani Kuria

Kenyans on social media are baffled as they attempt to unravel how the newly elected MP amassed what appears to be boundless wealth.

Her “Yes” vote for the widely rejected bill has further compounded criticisms leveled towards her conduct.

As others called for a serious lifestyle audit to establish the source of her wealth, a section of netizens stepped up demands for her removal from parliament.

“It will be so easy to recall Alice Ng’ang’a because people here hate her guts, they resent her so badly,” wrote one user on X.

Gen Z push to recall ‘rogue’ Kenyan MPs

In the aftermath of the world-acclaimed #RejectFinanceBill2024 demos, President William Ruto conceded defeat and agreed to withdraw the bill.

This has been touted as a significant victory for Kenyan Gen Zs, who were previously criticized for being busy on social media and shying away from politics.

Following the president’s retreat on the bill, Gen Z has unleashed new demands that include the constitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) within 30 days.

The constitution of the IEBC by the president will facilitate the recall of MPs who went rogue and voted against the will of the people.

Other non-negotiable demands by Gen Z include:

1. 1. The President obeys all court orders and scraps off the illegitimate CAS positions.
   2. Abolish the Housing Levy and provide an audit report on how previous housing funds have been used.
   3. The full restoration of the “Linda Mama” program and total removal of the supposedly oppressive Social Health Insurance Fund.
   4. Reduction of MPs’ salaries and allowances to be capped at KES 200,000.
   5. Employ all intern Junior Secondary School teachers on permanent and pensionable terms.

Should President Ruto’s government concede to the new demands, Alice Ng’ang’a and the disgraced Kenya Kwanza parliamentary group could find themselves out of office.

The majority of the government-allied MPs, however, remain unremorseful for voting for the bill.
