Newsmakers: Focus On Margaret Wanjiru

On newsmakers, from being a house help to a hawker, then a toilet cleaner and even at some point, a street preacher. The current Starehe Member of Parliament Bishop Margaret Wanjiru's life has gone full circle. Today, she is not only a reknowned evangelist, she is also an influential politician who despite life's challenges has forged on to live her dreams. Evelyn Wambui spent the day with Bishop Margaret Wanjiru and brings us her story on newsmakers.

[@shelmithnjaramba6293]

I used to listen to her in the streets and she was a great pastor. Now after reading her stories they are so complicated I do not understand them, But God Knows her more than I do.

[@joykamie]

Very ambitious woman who has beaten all odds and is now is among the top women leaders.she is doing very well.thumbs up mama bishop.

[@pkaris22]

She nailed this one!....a humble beginning is no reason to stop you from going hard the rest of your life.....God gives us strengths and opportunities and expects us to use them.....this woman has done just that....people will always hate that's there job.....but you can keep hating but she will keep succeeding ,....that's the beauty of this world.....there is balance!

[@teachermartin8251]

when close to her you like her and her work.... it is her life and it impacts many positively

[@Njitagwo_Shiro]

Such a beautiful smile madam Bishop. A nice attitude and a go getter

[@MureithiMr]

I truly admire Wanjiru, she is an inspiration to those of us born in poverty!

[@Sawat12477]

Point taken. Hard work positive thinking and thinking of where I want to be in 5 years. One has to fight for a better life......

[@benbett]

Hon. Bishop, I have chosen to 'not be poor' severally but never left the poverty loop and I have the same daylight hours as you. Could it be I am not doing something right or you are doing something wrong? religion na siasa do not seem to mix

[@MenengaiCrater]

I was skeptical before the video started but now I admire Margaret Wanjiru. Great piece Evelyn Wambui

[@peshable]

I work at the Ministry of housing and i must admit is is the best ministry with the best leadership though it is the home of tribalism........for Kikuyus, Kalenjins and Luhyas

[@bethuelaliwa2301]

Big Up Bishop. Life is what you make it!!!

[@PhillipNgugi]

Thanks Maggie you are our role model n keep it up(a perfect example of our times).God bless n keep you strong we love you.

[@Kienjekurika]

Men had field days with Wanjiru. She was so careless with her body. Kamangu was the man of the day....

[@shardy083]

the question is about the integrity factor!!! how true is this story?

[@vinreyal5627]

Good answer

[@joshuakiingati4488]

[@brigidmua9558]

[@dr.ireneruminjo4346]

Bishop politics and spiritual matters is like mixing water and oil. Water will always remain in the bottom while the oil will float. In God's hands you will always float from your enemies. The water will drown you and bury you, therefore choose what you want. Remember the former days when the Lord blessed and used you mightily. Go back to your first LOVE.

[@JOmondi1]

Very inspiring and the only spirit that can break the curse of poverty and tribalism in Kenya. You have worked hard and shone all the way to the top. Let no other girl-child say that they can't make it just because they had an accident of pregnancy along the way.

[@maddproff]

madam you are a kenyan icon giving hope to many, Godbless you.

[@nzappazapp8360]

[@mbgah]

despite all odds ,she have an inspiring story

[@DjRHINOInternational1]

what r u talking about? She just lied through out the whole interview. she said when she got pregnant in highschool she got a job as a house help then got pregnant again and she was pushed out. How did she pay her school fees and how did she attend school while a house help? Earlier on she said she got a kid while in high school and second in college. And anyways she names no schools or colleges and years

[@florencewilson4821]

[@petima100]

Strength of a woman

[@bethukip]

nice interview..altleast she is very frank on many things...she has really worked hard~ her way up!..she is pretty too but she needs to do more at the gym!

[@DjRHINOInternational1]

watch 3:00 to 3:10 mins then answer me So after getting pregnant, her mom could not take her so she moved and got a house help job then while working in that house she got pregnant again and she was throuwn out again and so she ended up in hawking where a guy rolls down the window and offers a job to a stranger. 1) when did she finish her school between the first kid she said was born while in high school and the second one said to be in college while she was a house help?

[@brucencalifornia]

what a life, she has

[@kaboragratmaycar-shop4122]

I salute you bishop.

[@mwangijoram2008]

Inspiring..coming from that far.

[@MartinObongita]

This is no except story for many people go through poverty. Our LORD Jesus Christ was born to very poor parents who could not even afford a place to deliver their child. The biggest problem with poor people is that they cry to God, and God hears them, and helps them out of poverty. After they get rich, they forget God and His Word. Howbeit, the Bible forbids a woman to preach because she was deceived by Satan to sleep with a snake and bore children to him.

[@steveomo2001]

She and her son ditched Odm wakatukana Raila...now they are both done politically...bure kabisa

[@wanjikuphylis1418]

Aiii ulizaaa sana at a tender age

[@surambaya]

Well said. I think it's the ability to maintain honor and still do good after going through hell that distinguishes a man like Obama with the "former masafaras" that we have in Kenya.

[@tommillia7816]

Don't know why I've found myself here in 2023

[@princessagy1552]

God knows best. not the hullabaloo around. she has made it. thats the truth.

[@janetrixaddy5320]

WHAT is all these fuss about? EVERY SINNER HAS a future; and every SAINT has a past! What is wrong with her successful life now? Please ,learn to respect people's labour,intelligence and the Grace upon them. Mama has done well. infact ,she inspires many ,me included. You need to know that it is true -no one is perfect! God is not looking for perfect people to serve the Him. HE KNOWS that we are human beings and not human been! MAMA ,RISE HIGHER! !!

[@steveomo2001]

Is she the one who went to parliament via Odm then her son and later talked crap about Raila after joining Jubilee....where is she and the son nowadays politically

[@vukaborder3775]

Women assertiveness and Razor focus

[@owenburke4882]

I agree with part of your story bishop but you didn't tell us how you got married to kamangu and leaved in gachie for a while when gotten this 2kids. Someone I know witnessed kamangu paying a dowry of sh.3000 to your mum wanjira. Your mum was also not a single mother coz she left your dad kariuki in gatundu. I knew you from westland when your mum and my grandmother worked together as muzungus house helps. They were good friends.

[@owenburke4882]

But I love your strength woman.

[@Sawat12477]

You are out of topic. Point anyone can make it. Mambo ya kamangu mara grandpa doesn't count here. Many years are gone but anyone can make it in life to leave a name. It's never too late or impossible

Was Kamangû the father of all the kids?

[@pkaris22]

@ exyzie so you know her kids??

[@thechristianrev]

hallo,bishop,how is work?

[@geoffreykhaemba3178]

i saw you crying juzi juzi tu

[@thuraku]

She strikes me more as a hustler,than a religious person wearing the title of Bishop.Based on her account,she has this insatiable appettite to do things.From househelp to corporate marketing(we all know how hard it is,to get there in Kenya)She came across real money,however,as head of JIAM and as tradition would have it,wanted more,so she ran for Parliament,then tried to get a foreign preacher as husband...it takes a hustler to do these things,don't you think?

[@Rufusmaore]

Then akapatana a rich Kamau,Kamau akawa poor,Wanjiru akawa rich...it happens only in Central kenya

[@mwashibenard2280]

i doubt if Waniru is a woman enough for Nairobi senatorial job, if she dint qualify for governorship i think senate is not a dumping site for academic dwarfs let her try her luck somewhere within the globe.

[@MrPennielover]

gym ya aina gani hiyo? maybe she means a resort...

[@DjRHINOInternational1]

2) I am also thinking the dude who offered her a job at industrial area and then just gave her promotions after the other what was it that was going on? we very well know in Kenya nothing is free 3) she also did not get clean money but used the name of the lord in the church to enrich herself and later on as a stepping stone to Nairobi politics

[@petercarlus8393]

Hivi Yule mke WA jambazi NI huyu huyu au Margaret mwingine?

its just hypocritical that yo could use the church to gain popularity and into politics.and if its Gods call in politics,why dont you make a change to the better.Rather,we see you getting along just fine and blending with the same guys who have oppresedkenyans.i wish you get saved the second time coz politics i believe backslid you.But do what your heart makes you feel happy and young.

[@burtonmaina]

A lot set aside, as a Mother, how can her motherhood be something to emulate? She is over weight and lucks humility.

[@Kienjekurika]

I have been thinking that I once saw Wanjiru in "K" street. Falling pregnant once, twice, and so forth, so careless a woman she is/was.

[@charlesmawili1028]

Do not put God in this. She uses the name of God in vain.
