Lilian Nganga Responds to Criticism Over Son's Upbringing

Lilian Nganga has addressed a comment made by an X user suggesting that her son, Utheri, might resent her for not being raised by a billionaire or influential political figure. In her response, Nganga, who is also an author, sarcastically encouraged critics to 'go ahead and have babies with the billionaire' since she chose not to.

Nganga's son, Utheri, is currently four years old, and she has been open about her parenting choices. She recently celebrated Utheri's birthday alongside her partner, rapper Juliani, sharing heartfelt tributes on social media, showcasing their close-knit family dynamic.

Formerly the First Lady of Machakos County, Lilian Nganga is known for her advocacy on various issues, including the importance of structured language education for children. She has emphasized the need for proper Kiswahili learning, which reflects her commitment to her son's upbringing. Additionally, she has chosen to raise Utheri without a nanny, stating her desire to be fully involved in his life, which she discussed in an interview earlier this year.

Nganga's recent public engagements have also included advocating for extended maternity leave in Kenya, aiming for a six-month period to allow mothers ample time for recovery and bonding with their newborns. This advocacy aligns with her focus on parenting and child development, making her a prominent voice in discussions around family and social issues.
