October 28, 2021, marked a day when Kirinyaga Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici found herself at the center of a storm regarding her academic credentials.
Her academic records were called into question after a tweet by Robert Alai, which sparked a conversation about her qualifications.
Ngirici swiftly responded to the allegations, stating that her academic records are 'straight' and available for inspection.
'My friend Fisherman, don't bend your “big” head to ignorance and malice. All my academic records are straight and available with the relevant institutions. Instead tell us what made you get suspended in Onjiko Secondary,' she wrote.
Ngirici's swift response seemed to put an end to the conversation, but the incident serves as a reminder of the scrutiny that public figures face regarding their qualifications.
