She gained popularity through shows like Lak Chogo (The Tooth Is a Bone) and Keth Nyingi Tiger Dendi (Tarnish Your Name and Build Your Body), which aired between 2007 and 2015.
Her performances alongside the late Bon Aggrey Okello, known as Wuon Ombugu or Nyakwar Kira, made her a household name.

However, her career took a different turn after Okello passed away in 2015, leaving many of their fans longing for their unique brand of humor.
Min Ombugu’s case is not isolated. Many families in Kenya are facing similar struggles when it comes to settling hospital bills and burial expenses.
Recently, the family of Mathew Nyamlori, who succumbed to gastric cancer, appealed for financial assistance to raise KSh 1.5 million for his burial.
In another case, a grieving family in Ainamoi, Kericho County, requested help to offset a KSh 1.3 million hospital bill before laying their son to rest.
Distressed orphans in Embu also sought support after their brother’s body was detained at Kenyatta University Hospital due to a KSh 2.2 million bill.
