A section of Kenyans online has been left stunned after a viral video surfaced showing a young woman alleged to be a top politician’s daughter openly mocking men who depend on casual construction jobs commonly known as mjengo for survival.... READ THE FULL STORY HERE/WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.
In the video, which has been widely circulated on social media platforms, the lady is seen speaking in a sarcastic tone, questioning whether such men even bathe regularly, a remark that has sparked intense backlash and debate online.
“Na huwa wanaoga hata kweli?” she is heard saying, followed by laughter from people around her.
She further goes on to dismiss men working in mjengo, claiming she has no interest in them and “hates them for no reason,” a statement that has angered many viewers who accuse her of class discrimination and disrespect toward hardworking youth.
The remarks have ignited mixed reactions across social media, with some users condemning her for insulting men striving to make a living in tough economic conditions, while others argue she was simply joking and her words have been taken out of context.
Critics have pointed out that mjengo work has supported thousands of families across Kenya and remains one of the most honest forms of employment for many young men struggling with unemployment.
Others, however, have defended her, saying the internet is too quick to judge viral moments without understanding the full context of conversations.
As the debate continues to rage online, the video has already attracted thousands of views, shares, and comments, making it one of the most talked-about clips of the day.
Authorities or the alleged politician’s family have not issued any official statement regarding the viral video.
