Accompanied by police officers, NSC auctioneers stormed the politician’s residence in Nairobi’s Runda estate and seized household items over a Sh3.9 million debt owed to a helicopter company.

They had been instructed by Flex Air Charters to seize and sell properties owned by Ngirici for failing to pay the amount after hiring its choppers in 2016.

The auctioneers did not take away the household items from Ngirici’s home after Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata intervened and promised to help settle the debt.

“Yes, the lawyer (Mr Kangata) agreed to drop a check at our office,” Timothy Owuor of NCS Auctioneers told Nation.

Ngirici hired helicopters from the company for her campaigns between May 8th and August 17th, 2016, incurring a cost of Sh5.9 million. She paid Sh2 million was left with a balance of Sh3.9 million.

Through lawyer Donald Kipkorir, Flex Air Charters moved to court seeking to compel Ngirici and her husband to pay the debt. The company won the case but the respondents refused to pay, prompting it to resort to auctioneers.

    Never do business with a politician. They are a bunch of cons and wannabes who are hell-bent on acquiring services and properties for free.

    Kenya has only thieves and murderers who some people consider to be politicians and leaders.

    No wonder these politicians living beyond their means are stealing from the public! What an embarrassment to be waken up by debt collectors because you have refused to pay ndeni ya wenyewe!

    Now we know why she is always at Ruto’s tail hoping to get the proceeds of corruption! Talk to Ruto @ngirichi to have him pay your debts with his stolen money. Actually that is where Senator kangata will get the money to pay the debtors next monday!

    Stop being silly you damn fool! The auctioneers went to your mother’s house who couldn’t pay the debt but not to Raila’s house! She stole with Ruto and now you are blaming Raila? Her and your step father Ruto will be gone in 2022 when all the debts will be paid in full! Nyamaza wewe!

    @halisi - I will have the auctioneers come get your damn 5 humored cows for all the debt you owe your next door neighbor! Stop crying wolf!

    These people get rich by supplying air to the government and what do Kenyans do? They elect them to public office. Sadly, fame and infamy are the same here.

    Just look at the house behind her and you will understand (if you havent) our political system!

  12. KhaembaAug 11, 2021

    Kangata is the enabler of those who are corrupt and do not want to pay the debts they owe others in the society! The auctioneer should have taken the car she is standing in, plates, cups, spoons, folks, to include all the rats living in that house!

  13. VivianAug 11, 2021

    It is simply a thief bailing out another thief and possibly the money will be collected from other thieves, DP Ruto included! Wachenzi hawa useless politicians!

  14. MithamoAug 11, 2021

    Put your stupid hand down and pay your damn debts @ ngirichi! Stop smiling when you can’t even pay some old debts!

  15. MossAug 11, 2021

    Look at this cartoon looking character popping her ugly head out of some whore! And y’all say some give birth! Isn’t she ugly??

  16. AliAug 11, 2021

    Some names are just worth a single penny - @ngirici!!?? No wonder she is stealing with such a crazy poverty driven name!
