Millicent Omanga, commonly referred to as Mama Miradi by her supporters, is an influential Kenyan politician and businesswoman.

There has been a lot of buzz around her recent nomination as the Ministry of Interior Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS).

Omanga was among the 50 individuals nominated by President William Ruto for the high-ranking government job on March 16.

Her nomination comes after unsuccessfully vying for the Nairobi woman representative position in the August 2022 polls.

Her primary objective as Interior Ministry CAS, should she be appointed, will be to join forces with Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki to address the issue of banditry.

Millicent Omanga was born in Kiamokama, Kisii County, in 1981. She grew up in Rongai, Kajiado, where she attended Mumbi Girls High School.

After completing her high school studies, Millicent enrolled in Medical Training College. However, she could not complete the course due to financial constraints and had to drop out.

Determined to succeed, Millicent later enrolled in a journalism course at the University of Nairobi, which she completed successfully.

She then pursued a Master's Degree in Commerce at the same university.

Her father, who worked as a mechanic in the Postal Corporation of Kenya, died in a road accident when she was only 17 years old, leaving her mother, Joyce, to raise the seven daughters.
