"He is a Control Freak": Lillian Ng'ang'a Opens Up on Her Break-Up with Governor Mutua

"He is a Control Freak": Lillian Ng'ang'a Opens Up on Her Break-Up with Governor Mutua

Former Machakos County first lady Lillian Ng’ang’a has opened up about her messy break-up with Governor Alfred Mutua.

Lillian and Mutua announced the end of their relationship in August, having lived together for about 10 years.

In an interview with Saturday Nation, Lillian described Mutua as “a control freak”, saying he felt insecure and did not want her to hang out with friends. 

Lillian, who holds a master's in project management, further claims the governor stopped her from pursuing a professional job.

“When I told him that I was going to get a job last year and actually be employed, it made him very angry. He said I was going to embarrass him by working because it will look like he is not supporting me,” said Lillian.

“Why do a Masters and then don’t apply it? It makes no sense.” 

She mentions her decision to take up a job late last year as the main cause of their separation.

“I would be very busy…I think he felt like he was losing his grip on me and that brought serious fights between us.”

“I don’t want to go into details about the other stuff over the years. People who know him know these things…Those are the main reasons I left Alfred,” she added.

Lillian says she met Mutua in March 2011 while working as a cabin crew at Kenya Airways (KQ).

“As a cabin crew, we are supposed to be nice to people. In that process, we exchanged greetings and when he was alighting, he gave me his card. He was to be in Mombasa for three days.”

At the time, Mutua was the government spokesperson and was in the middle of a bitter divorce from first wife Josephine Thitu.

The two later met for a dinner at Sarova Stanley, and after his divorce, he started co-habiting with Lillian at her apartment in Lang’ata.

“He would wake up from my small apartment to go to the office of the Spokesperson. He even launched his quest for Machakos governorship in the small apartment,” Lillian recounts.

Mutua won the election and the two moved to Kileleshwa. The romance blossomed over the years, and the couple decided to invest together in a hotel. 

Lillian, who previously worked as front office staff and cashier at Safari Park Hotel, claims the A&L Hotel idea was actually hers.

“We started building the hotel in 2019. The construction was financed by a loan from Family Bank with Alfred and I providing our personal guarantees. I am a co-investor and business partner in the venture.”

On why she was married to Mutua or not, Lillian said, “I cannot tell you but what I know is he did kúhanda ithígí (introduction) in 2019 and the next step would have been rúracio (dowry ceremony) and then the white wedding.”

@Mary, you may be correct that the two were not married.As much as it is not clear coming from the horses mouth, I think they were not officially married,they way the court system interprets marriage.
I read the full story in Daily Nation,and I have to give her some credit,and some discredits to Mutua:
* Mutual pursued her relentlessly despite being married.According to her,she rebuffed him because of that.Its only after divorce that she open upto him for further exploration...
She had even encouraged him to reconcile with his wife,but the smitten government official would not her of it.
In the marriage, he became very jealous,and abusive.He did not even want this young independent woman to work.
Everything weighted fairly, in my opinion,I blame Mutua for the marriage debacle.That said, and knowing what I know about them from the media, the two should not have tied the knot.
And the take away from this is, TAKE TIME TO KNOW YOUR POTENTIAL PARTNER.A least 4 years.

Never have I seen so many women against another woman. Why don't women lift each other up? ..then they complain they are being oppressed.

Turns out Lillian has had a job before, not merely a slay queen or a gold digger.

Turns out the dude persued her as he separated from the wife.

Turns out she wants to WORK, have a life but Mutua wants to keep her down.

Turns out she is an independent woman.

Sister, hang in there and hopefully you will deliver these same women who fight you from oppression one day.

I am all for women but women have to understand the system to survive.
-If you choose to cohabit, understand the probability that you may not get any property because the system is so anti woman. If an ex wife struggles to have property, sembuse wewe who is not married? Stay ahead of the game and do your own tu investments.

-A man who takes you seriously has no problem putting a ring on it in a short time. A man who hesitates to put a ring on it doesn’t value you as a woman so leave sooner. If you stay, prepare for the outcome. May be this is the loophole that Mutua used. Lilian unknowingly was in a prenap type of relationship bacause she lived with a man who understands the system.

-If you want a peaceful separation, dont flaunt that you are moving from a man to another man because Kenyan men do not handle this well. They become crazy and will do anything for revenge. For your safety and for the sake of leaving with ka something, lay low and love your new man in your privacy.

Lilian Wish you well. Maybe you are making history and breaking the norms in liberation of the African woman. You go girl and wish you well.

The question is whether Lilian should be compensated for the work she has put in during those 10 years. And yes, she does not have a marriage certificate to show or a child to parade in court.
She says she came up with the hotel idea after having worked in hospitality industry and adds she was deeply involved in its fruition as project manager. Besides running two other beauty businesses, she helped Mutua out as a first lady of Machakos a position which is not funded by the county, meaning she rendered her services to the county for free.
Theirs was therefore a partnership where the two brought something to the table.

Any dummy can come up with a hotel idea! You don’t have to work in the hospitality business to know hotels exist or monied people build hotel businesses! Lilian is a gold digger of the worst form! She wants to reap where she never planted! She keep saying she has moved on with her twap ugly man! Then move on and stop kicking some shitty dust!

@Mugikuyu, I would like to know the answer as well.I have tried to be objective on this matter,but I have gotten some pushback...Hey,nothing wrong with holding an opinion,but try not to make it too skewed to the point of ignoring the good points on from the "opposing side".

Y’all talking about compensation - compensation for what? Why do most women think men owe them anything after being together for a while? To me, it confirms my suspicion that most women are PROSTITUTES inside. That she gave sex to the guy so she needs some payback, wow! And she’s the one who was screaming in bed like crazy! Most women love Dickson Munene like crazy, they’ll fight & kill for it. But they also want to be compensated, duh. Wanawake wengi wanayo hiyo roho ya umalaya. That’s why men are asked to pay dowry too - it’s all prostitution
Why pay dowry for one party eti alisomeshwa sijui what? Kwani jamaa mwenyewe hakusomeshwa pia? Garbage!

Men should now start visiting prostitutes more instead of thinking of a permanent woman! You get the goodies, you pay, no strings attached and you move on! No bad since you won’t have some hooker taking everything you own!

That would make great sense if sex is the only,and main thing that men look for in marriage...I guess your advise goes to unmarried men.
@ Nderu, do you have kids and if not do you want them in future?Try raising babies,then toddlers,then teenagers a lone...

She is either not smart or not getting proper legal advice. The more you talk, the more likely you are to expose yourself and give the lawyers ammunitions to attack you. Without marriage or any legal documents supporting the ownerships of any properties, she is toast. I hope she was smart to invest on the side after being so close to power or being the power for so close. Lets see the next episode of this drama

This Alfred Mutua is pathetic.
He’s always fighting with women.
When he’s not fighting his wives , he’s fighting with prostitutes.

English 101…The word CIVIL when used as a verb has a different meaning compared to when its used as a noun. ‘Civil’ in civilian war may mean civilians as in citizens fighting each other while ‘civil’ is just the act of being well mannered, decent, disciplined, being rational etc!!!

This bitch Lillian must have a flicking good pussy(I am sinning because as a Muslim from Coast I am not supposed to think in terms of pussies for Allah prohibit that). Mutua has gone crazy over it amd is now threatening everyone close to her. The other day he blew up activist Boniface Mwangi's house in Machakos county just because he has fucked Lillian. One of the reason I believe Lillian get to have a good puss is the sheer number of beautiful Kamba women(Kambas and Taita's have the most sexy women in Kenya) Mutua is exposed to that he can fuck yet he only sees Lillian puss

Lilian you can go find another job now that you have your freedom.

Personally if you asked me I think she i another Nairobi slay queen doing what they do best ..... Gold digging and causing drama.

Wanja (not verified)     Sat, 11/06/2021 @ 10:12pm

And we can see how it all ended up when Lilian started hanging out with friends! You lost your head Lilian to uncut poor kid who doesn’t know any better!

You need a control freak to keep your weak mind and morals in check! So, there is nothing wrong with Mutua being in charge! He had to be a control freak because he realized he was dating a child that needed guidance to have a sense of direction!

Lilian is the control freak! She is just telling the world who she is! All she wants is free stuff to live a good life without sweating for it! A typical whore for that matter! Why does she think anyone would want to kill her? Of course she knows she is treading in dangerous territory by wanting free stuff!

Rogers (not verified)     Sat, 11/06/2021 @ 10:27pm

Introducing a guy to your family is not marriage Lilian! You are adopting a line I hear with a lit of women! Ya, we went to see my folks but he ccl never asked me for a hand in marriage!

Mutua had made his mind long time ago that lilian wasn’t a marriage material!

MLACHAKE (not verified)     Sat, 11/06/2021 @ 10:53pm

From afar, you can tell that Lilian has a far lower IQ than Mutua. From talking too much to being unable to resolve whatever issues she had with this guy who’s as imperfect as they come but otherwise civil & ambitious as his station in life shows. Most women who claim a guy is a control freak are themselves lowly & not too smart - they often want the high life at the expense of the guy. BTDT
Good thing is that Mutua akitaka bibi hatamaliza 24 hours - that’s the advantage we guys have in these tough times when many women still want marriage but men have generally been pissed off, are pursuing other stuff in life

Ben (not verified)     Sat, 11/06/2021 @ 10:53pm

This woman got a freaking mouth. No wonder Mutua refused to marry her! She is now trashing a man who refused to marry her! Your Lose Lilian.

In the past (before the partition of Africa during the Berlin Conference from November 15, 1884, to February 26, 1885), marriage was between two families - that of the woman and that of the man. Marriage arrangements were jointly conducted by the members of the two families.

After the conference, the marriage institution shifted rapidly and became the concern of only two people: the man and woman.

No wonder there are plenty of conflicts now between married men and women. Unfortunately, the past (marriage arrangements being conducted between members of the two families) is gone for good.

My personal advice to women thinking of getting married is simple: get an education, a career, and establish yourself financially before you think of starting a family.

@ Imara Daima,and that's why marriages survived.Two families forged bonds,and it was kind of break that newwork.Today, the marriage is pretty much only between the marrying couple and the immediate family,it that.And some of today's marriages would not have been sanctioned in the era you mentioned.
We need to redefine marriage to fix today's way of life.Note that even Christians,and Muslims divorce.I guess the solutions does not lie in religion.It lies in the brain.

Yusuf (not verified)     Sun, 11/07/2021 @ 10:01am

I thought Lillian was smart but I now see her as a sex toy. This bitch is a one night stand bitch to fuck and let go. Even the uncut boy is wasting his time by being with her because the bitch is not a marriage material. Mutua was right by not marrying her. It appears she loves sucking dicks(it's writting all over her mouth) and once she suck uncut dick she went crazy and couldn't get enough of it so she had to leave power, money and fame for it. This explains why Mutua has also gone crazy over her loss and cannot get over it. There aren't a lot of women in Kenya that loves sucking dicks, leave alone the way she does it and Mutua knows it will be tough to find her replacement

Ndugu @ Yusuf, Nakuomba na pia nakusihi uwache kutumia lugha isiyofaa kuandikwa hapa. Lugha uliyotumia kwa kawaida hutumiwa na watu ambao ndugu zangu Agikuyu huwaita "kihii." Hivi ndivyo ulivyoandika:

"This bitch is a one night stand bitch to fuck and let go. Even the uncut boy is wasting his time by being with her because the bitch is not a marriage material."

" There aren't a lot of women in Kenya that loves sucking dicks, leave alone the way she does it and Mutua knows it will be tough to find her replacement."

Be real Imara Daima, if you want to be a moral police for Mwakilisi that position has not been created yet. Muslims, like doctors, are taught to call a spade a spade and not to beat the bush. You upcountry people, especially Kikuyus are so mentallyy colonized that you are even afraid to say some words in your language. I have learn from my female Kikuyu friend that you people belief you can be cursed by sayiing anatomical words in your language in public. For instance the words like Ki'ino, Muthita, guthico, gwikana or guthicana, gukia, gwi'ko, guthica ki'ino, guthica muiritu are all words that have been forbiden to be spoken in public yet Europen culture encourages and demands such topic to be taught as a part of school carriculum. Nyinyi Watu wa mbara ni mafara tu. You need to emancipate yourself from mental slavery because else can. Learn to love yourslf and your languages!!!

@Sainabu what do you know about Kikuyu culture? You girls from Coast are cut and don't even know what sex pleasure is because you have never exprienced it by being cut. Your men al shababs treat you like properties and not like human beings. Kikuyu culture is the most advanced culture in Africa and even Europeans acknowledged that as early as in 1800's. So Sanaibu seek advice from knowledgeable Kikuyu elders and stop lecturing Kikuyu's

I stand by my statement that Kikuyu culture is the most superior culture in Africa if that is what is bringing up the jealousness. Kenya is what it is because of Kikuyus. Look at Tanzania and the rest of black Africa. They are so behind in terms of economic development because non of their are as ienius as Kikuyu people. Kenya would be in per with South Korea in terms of development were it not for a herdsman known as Arap Moi who put it back to stone age and plunged all it's resources. Ruto will also do the same and the Kikuyu's supporting him are retarteded

Class is moving on and learn a lesson from any heartbreak or failure. Crass is clinging to the hurt and doing everything to trash a man you opened your legs to for years. If he was not good enough, were you enslaved? You should have walked away and perhaps not waste time and get a man that deserved you. Our bitter Kenyan women are such an embarrassment. And she has kids that will read this trash ...

Licilici (not verified)     Sun, 11/07/2021 @ 11:19pm

For this one, I stand with the boy Shaod. Contradiction>>> On the same Nation interview, she said how good he is 'a very good person and easy to talk to'. That the relationship was mainly good. That she told him he 'had to clear the books first before they could continue dating' and she gives him 110% for 'effort' in pursuing her after. She also said he attempted to get her back after she left this year. Is clear she was already in Juliani's arms by then. Personally, I think the issues started when he got new managers for the A&L hotel which stopped her from the managing position and the "small allowance without consulting me". She may have then told him she would get a job, which she says upset him. Getting a job is ok and any person who wants to work should. For him, she says he wondered that people would say he is not taking care of her adequately. That can be seen as control but it seems he had already been taking care of her for long by then. I think she decided to leave then when the hotel issues could not be agreed upon. From that interview, she stated the hotel was her passion. She must have been upset. All these reports of how he is controlling and a professional liar maybe noise aimed at hitting back at Gavana to protect her friends who she says are targets. The way she flouted her moves on social media after parting may have embarrassed the Gavana, who has not said much in public to embarrass her though. For this one, I am with the Gavana, not home girl.

Mutua, how many times have I told you to delink yourself with this loser? You don’t deal with a kikuyu woman wearing some soft baby gloves! You need to wear a heavy metal shield, take a spear and go to war well loaded! You have no friend in Lilian! It is you who is deceiving himself as you can see the gutsy way she is talking to you!!
