The Ngirita family is made up of; Anne Wambui Ngirita, Phylis Njeri Ngirita, Lucy Wambui Ngirita and Jeremiah Ngirita.
Ngirita Family Before Wealth
According to sources, the Ngirita’s rise to riches came as a shock to a lot of their neighbors. A source close to the Ngirita family revealed that the Ngirita’s resided in the humble county council estate and at times, the family even struggle to put food on the table.
However, a businessman, Peter Mungai described Ann Ngirita as “a businesswoman who operates a series of businesses and has her own companies.”
Ngirita Family After Wealth
The fortunes of the Ngirita family changed for the better after Ann Ngirita started getting lucrative contracts from the NYS.
Soon, members of the Ngirita family began driving big cars and even relocated to the leafy Lake View Estate in the outskirts of Naivasha town.

A source also disclosed that the Ngirita’s have purchased a church plot sold at $410,396 (Ksh45 Million), a Range Rover vehicle at $145,918 (Ksh16 million) as well as another plot in a prime location.
The Ngirita’s also acquired properties in Nakuru and Kitale.
Ngirita Cries in Court
Ann Ngirita’s mum, Phylis Njeri Ngirita cried in court and pleaded with the judge to be lenient on her after she was charged for failing to remit tax from the money she got paid by NYS.
Phylis Ngirita claimed that she had no cash to pay hefty bail charges since she has other responsibilities like school fees to take care of.
Phylis Ngirita had been accused of trading as Njewanga Enterprises in NYS tenders supplies in 2016 and 2017 and failed to pay taxes amounting to Ksh20.7 million.
However, The High Court ordered that some properties including high-end cars, parcels of land and residential buildings belonging to the Ngirita’s be forfeited to the State.
In her ruling, Justice Ngugi said that the evidence presented before the court was sufficient and required the respondents to explain the basis of the massive deposit close to Ksh.400 million that they received from NYS and the source of the funds from which they purchased the properties.
