- Teresa Njoroge might be free now, but her name will forever be in our prison system. The mother of two made headlines a decade ago accused of stealing Ksh.19 Million from her employer and faced an additional charge of attempting to defraud the bank Ksh.9.9 Million.
Her daughter was only 3months when the ruling to send Teresa to Langata Women's Prison was made. She had no choice but to raise her daughter in prison
She is our guest on the Lynn Ngugi Show, and this is her story

Can you and the lady start a funds drive please? I’m sure many women would want to contribute some cash to go into buying panties, diapers and pads
Lynn, i love your heels, where did you buy them?
Lyn is this your sister😌😌😊
I guess Lynn you should make an effort to visit mothers with there babies in prison i guess they need help.
Lynn ngugi how can we get her i need to visit prison take pads
"It's not the stab in the back that kills you!
It's when you turn around and see who's holding the knife 🔪 ."
Nice
😍😍😍😍do you all want to ignore how beautiful , eloquent and elegant this lady is. I mean weeeeeeeeh you can't get tired listening to her😍 her English is 😘😘😘😘
Ikr 🔥
Is her mother tongue sweet too?
The dimples ❤️❤️
@@bancymbula9044 😅
Mnapenda yellow yellow!
There is no way Teresa could even think of stealing anything from anyone. We used to work together in the hospitality industry and she's the sweetest person you can meet. Am sorry that she had to go through all that. Sending love to her
@Paul Henry ...lol wewe na mganga wako ni wa tz ama???
But did you ever visited her in the jail no 🤔
@ruthwambugu7549 good question! This such are the worst people in life!
Did u ever visit her in jail if u were such good Freinds👀🙄
I see judgemental bitter comments here. Her statement isn't wrong in any way.
Can I just compliment her beauty, elegance and poise.
This LADY should be news anchor ,she has the skills ,language,body language and expression.
Yeah she does unbelievable how cold people can be..
I agree 101%
Yes that's true but the problem she has a criminal record
I hope one day I will get the courage to tell my story😭
Teresa has so much class.
Her dress code, simple but classic
Her mannerism
Her elegance
Everything about her ooze class
What a beautiful soul🤔. God will restore you a hundredfold. You are a blessing to many.
I know, classy but warm
Still a cloud, a puzzle hangs around her.
You know what they say....bad things happen to good people....
After watching this horror story, I will close my Bank Account with that Bank in solidarity with Teresia, where are our first families and churches 😠
No matter how good you might be to your boss and workmates non of them will ever considers you as your family does so let's learn from wanjiku's story!
She reminds me of Joseph in the Bible. Her soul type is most likely Ephraite or Manasseh! What those who threw her in meant for evil, God meant for good! And many will be blessed because of her experience!
I was in the Banking Industry and I saw innocent Bankers being framed for cases that they had nothing to do with. Those who stole through documentation trail always setup their colleges. Very sad. They had no remorse and had no mercy as they defrauded the banks. Pole Teresa, I recall your case and I knew you were setup.... Listening to your story i realize the reason why you are supporting the women in prison. Keep on the good work Teresa...
We really need to arrange to give panties and pads to women in Prison. Its really sad to hear that and yet there is a budget for the prisons department every year. This money goes to the pockets of those in charge instead of providing the bare necessities for the prisoners. ITS A SAD SITUATION!
Very true, we need to do something about it
It's true, so sad😢
Yes,,we should..its very sad
True💯💯
Haki.... It's sad...
I too named my kids based on the situation or circumstance we were in.
Our daughter is called Amani she was born 2007 post election violence and we prophesied she is and she will be the peace even in her generation.
Our son Baraka,we were going through financial struggles and he is a blessing and will be a blessing to his generation
True to their naming our gal she is a peace keeper,our son Baraka our financial situation changed and he will be a game changer and a big blessing to his generation.
My firstborn was named sasha by my husband and freinds which I was against.......the rest 2nd born I Named her JOY to bring joy and happiness in my home because I had a very sad moments low moments my husband was so toxic and I knew JOY will bring happiness and I thank GOD,I am almost having my third born whom am planning to Name BARAKA because I believe He will bring us out of financial crisis
Those are good names despite the hard times
@Paul Henry you are a sad case trying to cam people.
Helloooooo again Teresa!! I first heard Teresa's harrowing account in a BBC interview many years ago. Her's is a powerful story about bouncing back from very dark places and going on to become a shelter for many. May God richly Bless your work Teresa.
This is it for me. I'm a Nigerian lawyer, I'm going to help get people like these out
Please make it your life's mission and push for change on the way women and children are done this way. You won't become rich however it will bring blessings to you and your family.
So help you God
😂😂😂
We have layers in Kenya. 😊
I work in a bank and I can tell Teresa did all due diligence as per the policy,but colleagues can totally ruin your life if they want to destroy you.
Matikaingira kaburi matarihite na matikona thayu ever ever...
Since ninunue simu Dec then kuingia RUclips nikaona lyn I had to start following her channel nilijipata hadi tuko nikitafuta story zenye amehost just addicted to this beautiful lady
I was a banker at Equity and I left when I realized that my superior always framed me for small issues . I thought the can even frame me for fraud issues . I thank God
That's how it starts, before you know it , you are accused of some alleged fraud......... they destroy people's careers... just move on
And you will be surprised people who made her go to jail are watching this interview.
Yah shamelessly but they will remain cursed forever. About being set up that one I have experienced.
Karma is coming for them
That is if karma hasn't visited

I was arrested once, some 5yrs ago. It happened in South Africa. I spent almost 9mths on remand and got a suspended sentence. As our sister said, mostly the once that suffer is the poor. Completely true. The pain of spending the whole day in a small overloaded room with some of the most ill disciplined in the world is not easy to put in words. It is there in jail God showed me the kind of person I wasn`t aware of. I went in confused and naive but I came out a better person. This sister`s story is really emotional. I did shed a tear. Yes men cry a lot.
Take heart Bro.God knows all.
God above everything
Pole Tobias.Hugs
I like your surname 🙂
Even though I'm south African I feel so bad you faced injustice here, mmm the way I am scared of jail. May you find healing❤️I'm so sorry
The amazing , wonderful Teresa Njoroge that I work with at Clean Start Solutions. Such an honor to work with her to bring positive transformation in the lives of thousands of women, children and girls impacted by the criminal justice system.
I really wish to join you guys
I wish to join you guys will check out your website
I was with Mama Shiko in Langata women prison. Prison is hell on earth. Being there for 8yrs was not easy,,,I left my kids,, I used to see them once in a year and it's for some hours.... Even though I was there for the crime I did,,, my children didn't deserve to go through what I they went through. Teresa has really helped us to recover it's not easy getting out of prison and counting with life... Sometimes I used to wish go back to prison.
Hi vivian God is faithful
Wow.8 years is not short period of time.
God has a purpose for your life, do not give up.
@@benndemo201 Sure God is so merciful and faithful
@@alexandermutune6131 Yes.. But by God's grace am out
I worked as a management trainee at SCB in 1998. I was fixed for plucking 1,000 notes from money bundles sent to CBK. I survived after investigations by Banking Fraud found the real culprits. I resigned quick fast in 1999.
👀
Lady Teresa, you will continue to excel and shine to the glory of God. Your enemies will continue to decline to nothing. They think they are racing to wealth, but they are racing to destruction, death, and hell. Jesus Christ is your strength and the glory of your latter house will exceed the glory of the former one. God bless. 🙏🏽
Lynn, the CJ Emeritus, Justice Maraga once said, "You can do the right thing and walk with your head high ". I am happy of Teresa
Teresa is gorgeous & intelligent 😍❤️Sometimes the enemies of our lives are within us💔
Thankyou for turning your tears into triumph
I guess she has LEARN her LESSON in many ways ppl.are not nice, our colour are always hate ful of one another.. But GOD did have her back and still.. Happy that she has rise above her enemies... GOD bless her for what she is doing now...Strong woman...
Hey Lynn! Please keep me posted. Am happy to get intouch and support the effort, with my small little help. I have cried, because it pains me to see how pple go through hell. Crimes thy never committed. Please keep me intouch with the lady. I wish I could speak to her and just give a 5% of my salary to support her effort.
I am still stuck at: we know you are innocent but someone has to carry the cross on behalf of the bank! This is horrendous - I can't breath 😭
It really hit me so hard😭
How could they have done that and got away with it? They should be sued or forced to pay penalties of some sorts!
@@ettyhill1280 I think she said the bank compensated her. But this is really really sad, so immoral!
Shes soo smooth and lovely in her talking.so eloquent,I haven’t even blinked ,I felt bad when it ended😢😢shes going far. God above everything
I have shed a tear, to hear how women queue for a panty and fight over paperbags as diapers, as much as people are behind bars, they are still human beings..
Really sad..innocent kids!
Heart breaking..
The truth is Africa is one rotten continent that you may wonder why is it there. Why do we have to vote and wish for change if we can't get it. Our law systems is Soo bad across the continent that as ordinary people we really don't know what to do, our politicians are failing us to the core....this is over heart breaking
Very sad😭😭😭
This is so sad 😭
Lyn looking all good today...am loving this woman bit by bit she expresses herself so well
Are you sure she is looking good 😂😂
My father worked for the prison department. !. My father refused me going to boarding schoool, I never had experience of those school. 2. When he clocked 50yrs he just decided enough is enough he could not handle anymore how we manage our correctional services 3. None of us in the family was allowed to join any uniformed forces KDF, Police or prisons. We could only join civil service
Never trust co-workers or friends. Pretenders!! Pretenders!! Fear them and be watchful. All the best beautiful and thanks Lynn for the stories 🥰
I read the description part first then continue watching! That employer is so evil😥 so heartless😭
I relate to this story pretty well,My husband got fired from a bank because of a such similar case,Jesus its crazy completely crazy, especially when you know it witch hurting,.............. Banks ! Banks! So many people go through hell in the hands of so called Banks. But Thanks to our Almighty that He gives verdict.
Not just banks💯Most institutions are pure crap!!!And most colleagues are demons
@@nunyabizactually6928 cpxxl lol
Teresa is Soo articulate and Beautiful...sad story but you just want to listen to her..hugs mama❤️..
God is elevating you far and beyond 🙏❤️
We should begin by scrapping the women rep position. Redirect that money to other more useful uses because clearly they're not delivering as they should.
I agree 100% why do we need such positions, never have I seen them come help in such situations..they'll only fattening their pockets..sad..
Sad but very true
Betrayal is everywhere even in marriages, your best friend sleeping with your husband.
I started wondering why people are so evil and almost disowned everybody around me. Evil world we live in
I have served her Soo many times and she's so polite ,her vibe is always positive,her dress code is always on point..her story is breaking my heart
i am deeply touched by her story, can't imagine that happening in our prisons when we are talking of looting NCPB, KEMSA, ARROR e.t.c. For a start, i am going to organize and marshall resources for Kodiaga Prison and i will invite you Lynn.
My sister was there 13yrs but finaly she was released....to some point i saw justice🙏🙏🙏🙏
good initiative
@george nyawanda that’s a good idea,,visited Kodiaga years back and they need help,,
Teresa seems a woman is intellectual, eloquent, humble and smart beautiful lady sad what happened to her
Lynn you look elegant. Natural African beauty queen. Teresa is a very strong woman, blessed, beautiful, highly intelligent and smart. Beauties with brains.
Sorry for all that happened to you, the justice that was denied etc.
The position of a woman Rep was created to come up with policy decisions that improve the life and provide for the needs of a woman. Maybe Lynn can interview them to help us identify the best regardless of the party affiliation.
Those of us who can, let's organize amongst ourselves and be visiting such facilities frequently in order to provide for such basic needs. We cannot just sit and lament but we must do something.This is very very heartbreaking.
@Gathoni Alice, that's a good idea 👍...I second you on that.
''It's the poor who keep the system running.'' That statement has really broken my heart.💔
WAAAH THAT HIT HOME REALLY HAARD LIKE HAAAAARD.
Broke me as well
This is deep 😭
God is the judge and everyone involved in injustices will pay. This lady need to look at a job internationally to advocate for women and children in Kenya within the dysfunctional and broken justice system.
Aki this woman is so strong..she is a heroe but my heart breaks when i think of those women struggling with pregnacies and small children there....may God see them through
Wow Lyn this woman is a legend
It's so painful....I followed this story and when the verdict was delivered...it broke my heart ...You are a winner/Victor(ia). You are glorious looking and sounding, God knows and sees.
Betrayal at it's best. Keep your friends close and ur enemies closer...she is a strong and beautiful woman!
There are no words to describe what l feel. When God chooses you for a mission He takes you to places that you would never normally go. God hand picked you to heal others who had been neglected. He knew you had compassion. I feel your heart for the people. In deed you are Christ in movement. Such an amazing story. Blessings on your life🙏🏾
Been there and had to face reality and found my purpose.
This victorious lady is very eloquent,her strength is on another level.Thank you Lyn for such inspiration stories, your future is very luminous.
(You look beautiful in your outfit)
She comes across as highly intelligent ,highly ambitious and very eloquent. Maybe that's why they were intimidated by her success.Sorry that she had to go through such an awful experience because of corruption,greed and lack of humanity. People can be so evil.
This conversation has been so upsetting. I’m so sorry for what Teresa and the other women and children went through. This is very sad, inhumane.
As a Correctional Officer, I walk in this prison with one thing on mind, treat every Individual the way you would want to be treated, this is a clear scenario of anyone can find themselves on the other side of the law. She is a victor forreal
Be blessed for what you do!
God bless! I wish there could be more like you!🙏🙏

@@estherwambui1072 I am not based in Kenya I work in a prison outside of Kenya and here it’s a totally different story. I work in a male facility but they are treated much much better
@@rosekaburia5217 it’s my prayer too.
Lack of empathy is a pandemic itself😥,even nowadays they do anything for money.
Love u kasweetie
This is the person I called my husband. Narcissist.. lack of empathy is worse than cancer
Mimi vitu nimefanyiwa hii Kenya I cannot sympathize with anyone
We are placed where we are on purpose John 7:28. Teresa Njoroge, God placed you in that prison for a purpose...He picked you because you are a Hero
My father went through the same thing. But growing up and visiting our dad in prison is something that was difficult 😞 You’re such a strong 💪 woman 👩 May God continue lifting you high.
So sorry Teresa.., i can relate - i was once conned 25 million and lost business worth 100's of millions of shillings as a result - it was the most heart rendering experience i ever had, for the first time i almost committed suicide.. but God is always faithful and knows best.. with time things straightened out and God is always great i can attest
Conned by banks or the system?
Sorry
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
pole sana
How I see it, this happened in order to for Teresa to step into her divine destiny.
Imagine she might be a destiny helper
Wicked world... I see people saying they are proud Kenyan and wonder "kuvumilia kuwa mkenya au kujivunia
I was hit by a fraud like that around that time. It is so painful. God shall take care of such devilish people.
Let’s start a fund drive. We need to raise money for diapers, pads and pants for our mothers, sisters, aunties and friends in prisons.
This is unacceptable!
Yes please
God bless you🙏🙏🙏
I would love to contribute to such an initiative.
Me too
@@TembeanamiUSA check part two. She has one already. There’s a Till Number too. For Kshs 1500 there’s a dignity package
Sometimes when God wants to elavate us,He always causes some pain for His glory. Sometimes the people close to us are the ones who will make us suffer and go through alot but in the end He always make a way,He always ensure we come out strong than before. Teresa,you raised your child in that pathetic place,I know sometimes you used to look at your baby and you like God why me. God was busy writing your story and yes you are here because He made a way..thanks for sharing,and I know the people who caused you pain are troubled wherever they are.
Absolutely..
Well put but just a slight correction. God does not cause anyone pain. He may allow it for us to learn something but NO, He doesn't cause our pain.
This is exactly what I was thinking as I was watching this. God always allows things to happen in our life's so He can use us to help others out. You can only help someone out of something you have went yourself through. God's way of doing things is not always understood by human mind.
@@teopistorsind9874 How about Isaiah 66; 9 " In the same way I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born,” says the LORD. “If I cause you the pain, I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation,” says your God
@@mongalix8 You are right . I am wrong.
Sorry Teresa it’s very traumatising God will compensate you and them betrayers will pay for it
This girl was on Hope fm this morning..... She made me fall in love prison ministry...
When I started watching part 1 the first few mins I was studying Theresa, her body language and I felt like she was holding back... I couldn't put my finger on it. However, as she went on about (15mins or so) I said to myself this woman has been traumatized( this was b4 she talked about the trauma, in part 2). As someone who has experienced trauma you can recognize it in someone else after awhile. She is still healing... She has to remove all the bandages off the wounds, clean the wound and allow the wounds to breath. It will be painful but healing. I can't wait to see where she goes and want she does in life. 🙏🏿
So true ,in Kenya prison is for the poor,you can't bribe,you can't get justice. So sad 💔😭
Really 😔 😔!!! God what can l do in my capacity to change all this madness!!!
Very true only poor are in prison.How many wealthy pple have committed crime bt they are moving around proudly
Poor and innocent,the guilty ones are moving around since they can afford bails and bribes.... God have mercy
The rich will steal millions from the public coffers and still roam free while the poor rots in these pathetic prisons for hawking in an effort to fend for their families. Where is justice?? 😭
She's so intelligent woman be blessed
Thank you Theresa for sharing your story. I have learnt that we mustn't judge people who have been incarcerated as we don’t know their stories.
Betrayal pain heartbreak has run over me as I watched this .such a strong woman being interviewed by the best empathetic lady I have ever watched.
Thanks Lynn for bringing Teresa...Thanks Teresa for the good work you are advocating. Surely our courts have been compromised to criminalize poverty. Indignity at it best. Prisoners deserve better
''What those kids see and what they hear, is a total abuse.'' Very painful💔
Very
Lynn this story has made me cry and feel for the women in prison with their children. And also for the age group still having their menstrual periods and are in prison. Is there something that we can do to help. This story has made me shed tears from my heart.
This is such a sad affair. When colleagues conspire to bring you down just because you are doing well is just crazy. I relate to this kind of malice and its so hurtful.
This is so rampant especially in the banking industry.
Hii no system ya majabazi unfortunately the innocent rot in jail while the wicked continue enjoying life and putting more in jail. What’s with the “justice system”? Uughh
True true. Going through this type of hatred, malice requires the hand of God. Then boooom God blesses you and you realize his greatness
Mimi huresign anytime kama igathe 😂😂😂 my certificates are not written any institution I can work where I want
Life is spiritual.....one needs to invest in Jesus Christ for protection...
.Jesus said even members of ones household would even be enemies
Same happened to my brother..weh...he almost had a heart attack. Thank God he kept a backup of all this work in the bank. That's how he got saved
Supposing he had no backup!!Some pipo will technically set you up with evidence which you can't deny in court even if in your heart knows well you are innocent.
@@janetkanini2233 his colleagues made a deal with someone to withdraw funds he apparently wasn't supposed to. They made sure my bro did the withdrawal process for them. Then after a while the money was reported missing and they said he'd stolen it. All the receipts disappeared. While the case was on going his laptop was stolen from his home.The good thing is he used to backup everything kwa computer na flash. Otherwise angekuwa kamiti sasa

How can you not have backup? This is 19M we are talking about! This is a back not your house.@@janetkanini2233
Sorry is an understatement.
You are a strong woman Teresa. This is the poor justice systems in our country....God is watching!!!!
in Kenya there is no justice if your are just any one
Thank you Teresa for being candid and so courageous to speak on what is exactly happening in our prisons ,alot of people are afraid to speak against injustice they sugarcoat malice and discomfort going on behind bars our inmates are going through hell and the time has come that us women need to stand up and fight for better and conducive environment for any inmate. Lynn ur our Kenyan Oprah 🔥🔥🔥. #justiceandempathystartswithme
Same thing happened to my mum here in Uganda 🇺🇬 but many more people are in prison for crimes they never committed
Sad😭😭😭
Q
THE PRISON LIFE PART😭😭💔😭😭IT IS SO HURTFUL!poor innocent kids going through all that 💔😭
Seeing and hearing abuse 😭
I remember her story years ago..,going even more stronger..,can't put a strong woman down.
Let me drink coffee because this story is just unbelievable. And we have women leaders sitting in high places with millions in their disposal wondering what to do with the money! I pray our next first lady can take up on issues prison / women and children in prison.
Imagine...Sad, very sad....
true
Triza pole for what you went through. I remember I'm the one who welcomed you when you landed in Pune and showed you around. You were also a bright student who scored distinctions always. Tutafutane for lunch🥰🥰
Oh Teresa! You are a beautiful woman, inside out, and that you retained your smile even having been through hell is simply amazing. Glad to have met you in my lifetime.
Lynn i think you have to start a programe where you have to visit those who are in prison and here the side of the story it's so painful they really need our help 😢 💔
My take.. Uma.. truth.. an epitome of truth. In this generation of heartlessness, God will continue to raise men and women of integrity. Thank you for sharing your story.
Such a heartbreaking story happening to a brilliant woman. Life is truly unfair and can be quite nasty. Of all bad things that can happen to someone, betrayal tops the list.
Let's say...innocent people are in prisons,to the crimes they didn't commit, Much love from Gulf Lynnn,learning new things day by day,never trust some so called colleagues
I'm curious for the part two of this story. Seeing how beautiful and healthy you are telling it yourself, I know you have already won and also shamed your enemies.
as an auditor in one of the kenyan banks, if all the KYC checked in her case, her people must have conspired against her. and the first suspect is her boss, and the security department team if the CCTV issues had not been highlighted and reported earlier
I have listened to this beautiful woman several times but this story touches my heart I can listen to this lady over and over. She is just a beautiful soul. Am happy that the end was beautiful. There is light at the end of the tunnel
She so innocent. I feel her shoes.
Very well spoken. Am just trying to imagine how people would people just mess this innocent girl . God be with Teresa . You Got God blessings
Beautiful woman. The dimples look so good on you Teresa!
I was listening to her story this morning on hope FM radio, so touching
Wow
Teresa allow me to say that your going there is a blessing in disguise for the poor, marginalized and vulnerable as you said. This testimony will turn things around. This is being watched globally! Your setback will be a comeback pretty soon. I salute you. Thanks Lynn for this platform and the work you're doing.
NO ! If it is such a blessing why aren't we lining up to enter Lang'ata Prison? Wake up!
Lynn, you have this bright and shining light; keep shining it to these darkest of recesses in our society!
Look at her now she is a very brave and smart Woman.....her Voice and English is heavenly 😘😘😘❤️
I have cried!and am so upset! No human being and especially those children with their mothers should go through this ! There needs to be reforms in our prisons that atleast preserves ones dignity,
It's shocking the things 'selfish ambition' can do to humanity.
Sometimes we just need to look beyond ourselves and consider or reconsider our choices and decisions in life. The pain and suffering we might cause if only we chose to reconsider.
In the end, whether the perpetrator or victim, when we look beyond 'self' and seek to find what we can do for others, only then can life become better and the world a better place. Until we live for more that 'ourselves', then we can count ourselves blessed and a blessing.
God bless you Teresa. You're indeed a trailblazer and a blessing.
Saying sorry is understatement 😔...if you never experienced betrayal from people you least expected to...😭😭😭😭you can't understand her pain
This was very much needed to shine some light on how the justice system works in kenya …it’s a shame to all involved and participate in the injustice.
Teresa you are such an inspiration. You are very strong and I am so grateful your heartbreaking experience birthed hope , a sense of acceptance and a future to so many girl s and women through your organization.
This is unbelievable, and wonder how I can be proud to be a Kenyan. Once somebody is taken to prison it doesn't mean he/she must face that tough life there. We need people who can rise and speak of this boldingly to bring change on this issue. Just to come up with a petition so that we can sign to fight this 😭😭
