Senator Millicent Omanga, has revealed how she made her first million when she was just 19 years old.
Mama Miradi, as she is often called, told Jessy Junction that she began her entrepreneurial path at the University of Nairobi and made her first million within a year.
“By 20 I bought a new car and I was still in the university. I would use a portion of my school fees to buy a few things in Eastleigh that I would later sell at a profit.
“By exam time I had made profits and I would use that to clear my fees,” she said.
Noting: “I was selling everything including bedsheets…
I am one of the biggest bedsheet suppliers in the country.”
Omanga said she made her first million after supplying bedsheets to a hotel in Eldoret and from then on she started ordering items from abroad.
“I had capital (after making Sh1million) and I knew I would get a good car in Dubai…I paid the deposit and got some more items,” she said.
The Nominated Senator expressed her love for football, saying that it is something she has enjoyed for a long time and that she saves money to attend soccer tournaments whenever she has the chance.
“I went to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup, Brazil in 2014 and Russia in 2018… and I will still go to Qatar in 2022.
“I also play football…but as a goalkeeper,” she said.
When asked if it affects her when people comment about her physique on social media, Omanga responded it never does.
“I love myself and I love the way I am. Even when they make fun of me it is because they admire me.
“My husband has never complained… at the Senate they refer to me as ‘majority leader’,” she joked.
Hundreds of ecstatic football fans in Kericho County took advantage of an opportunity to pose for photos with Omanga during a local soccer competition in December 2020.
Despite the fact that they had all come to watch two local teams compete in the final, Omanga’s entrance drew their attention.
As she made her way to the stands, young admirers ogled her and jostled for a photo opportunity with the voluptuous politician after the game, something she is used to and proud of.
Senator Millicent Omanga has severally gone viral for shaking her behind in different events. And majority of Kenyans are in love with her.
