Tension flared in Kibung’a after Tharaka Nithi Woman Representative Susan Ngugi lost her composure during a public address that quickly turned hostile.
The incident, captured on video and widely shared online, shows the legislator struggling to continue her speech as residents loudly heckled her, chanting “one term” slogans directed at both her and President William Ruto.
According to witnesses, Ngugi had been outlining government development projects in the area when the crowd grew increasingly restless.
What began as murmurs soon escalated into full-blown chants, forcing the MP to pause repeatedly. Efforts to calm the crowd proved futile, and within minutes, the situation spiraled into open confrontation.

The video shows a visibly agitated Ngugi responding sharply to the residents, appearing to insult them after failing to regain control of the gathering. Her remarks have since sparked outrage among Kenyans online, with many criticizing her reaction as unprofessional and dismissive of constituents’ concerns.
Local residents claimed their chants reflected dissatisfaction with both local and national leadership, arguing that leaders should be prepared to face criticism rather than lash out. “We have a right to express ourselves. Leaders should listen instead of insulting us,” one attendee said.
Political analysts note that such incidents highlight growing political tensions ahead of the 2027 general election. Public engagements, once seen as opportunities to connect with voters, are increasingly becoming platforms for citizens to voice frustration over economic challenges and unmet expectations.
Ngugi has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident, but pressure is mounting for her to clarify her remarks and address the concerns raised by Kibung’a residents.
Meanwhile, the viral clip continues to fuel debate about leadership accountability and the tone politicians adopt when confronted by dissent.
The unfolding drama underscores a shifting political landscape where voter engagement is becoming more assertive—and less forgiving.
