Kandara MP Alice Wahome has defended the embattled Ngirita family after Phylis Ngirita’ video weeping outside the court received massive reactions from Kenyans online.

“Let me weigh in a little. We cannot allow Ngirita to be the face of the NYS scandal because we know it was a big scandal, it was a big loss to the country,” said Wahome.
“There is a sufficient amount of money that is actually not with the Ngirita,” she added.
“This girl could have been involved in this thing but people don’t react the same way. I think leaving it too long speaks to the question, ‘were we ever serious about this case?” she said.

“I think this was one of those cases that may be the DCI needed to leave other things, you know the way it was dramatised. I think we should have put all our energies to ensure that the real culprits are captured,” she said.
