Defending her decision to have the procedure, the mother of three said she deserved to do what she felt was right for her body. She indicated that it was also a financially empowering decision, given that she funded it out of her own earnings.

“I have worked for it. That is money that has come out of me working and earning. I am in the recovery process and I feel a hundred times more confident,” Murugi said.

“Issues with my stomach have been there for a long time, even before I joined social media, when I was younger it's because I did not have money but now that I have money why not go for it,” Murugi revealed.

Mrs Munyi, who is among Kenya's pioneer YouTubers, also revealed she doesn't keep up with trolls who talk about her children. She reasoned that she gets trolled not because she does anything bad, but because trolls hate themselves.
