On September 4, 2019, a video emerged online showing Kirinyaga Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici behaving badly on the road in Nairobi's Kilimani area.
According to a Facebook post by Oliech Dickens, the man who confronted Ngirici, the incident occurred last week when he was in an Uber headed to his brother's house along Kitale Lane.
Ngirici's black Nissan 4 by 4 started to overlap with an oncoming Mercedes Benz, and she came out of the back seat, accompanied by a woman and man who looked like her bodyguards, and started insulting the Merc driver demanding that he comes out of the car.
"You are a grown (up) woman, shame on you! Shame on you! Follow the rules...! And you are coming here trying to punch me, a grown woman?" an angry motorist is heard saying in the faceoff.
Ngirici and her entourage were seen quickly getting into the vehicle as it was driven away, on the right side of the road.
Ngirici later took to Facebook and apologised as she shared her hard-learned lessons, stating that she had been reminded by the citizens about the society and its values.
"Yes, sometime back I had an incident involving overlapping on the road. I was rushing to attend to a patient by the name Magdale Wawira who was admitted [to] KNH. Sometimes, even leaders are reminded by the citizens about the society and its values," she posted.
"I took the lesson, appreciated and apologised accordingly. To grow together as one cohesive and harmonious society, we must remind and correct each other whenever we go wrong or make mistakes."
