Dr Mercy Mwangangi was thrust into the limelight in 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic. She had just been appointed as the Health Chief Adminstrative Secretary when the pandemic hit the world.
From there, she became the household name as she was always on TV screens, giving updates on the COVID-19 situation in the country.
Alongside her then boss, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe, they ensured that Kenyans were kept with up to speed about the COVID-19 situation in the country.
The University of Nairobi educated medical doctor always wowed the hearts of Kenyans. And even after the world was declared COVID-19 free, Dr Mwangangi remained in the minds of Kenyans.
But in 2023, following the 2022 regime change in the country, Dr Mwangangi was pushed out of Governor by President William Ruto. It was the end of the road for her after that fairytale journey that had thrust her into the limelight.
However, a few months later, she bounced back in style when she wss appointed by Nairobi City County Governor Johnson Sakaja to be a member of the Pumwani Hospital Board.
Going forward, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Dr Mwangangi.
