 Plot of "MTAA YANGU"
The film's plot centers around Kiprotich, a local gang leader, and his crew who extort "taxes" from the residents of Mwiki Town. Amidst this turbulent backdrop, Gunner 'G' emerges as another crime lord, offering shelter and security to the town's inhabitants. However, tranquility is shattered when the Member of Parliament for the area, portrayed by Nathan Songa, and the Governor announce plans for foreign investment, leading to eviction notices being served to the residents.
Gunner 'G' is forced into a dialogue with the Member of Parliament, who appears to ignore the residents' plight, leaving him feeling betrayed, especially after helping the MP gain power through illicit means. Matters take a darker turn when the MP conspires with two corrupt police officers, Lurther and Ben, to plot Gunner 'G's murder.
Amidst this chaos, Gunner 'G' finds love in Catherine Njeri, a resident of Mwiki Town. Tragically, one of his gang members, Ras, is responsible for the death of Njeri's brother during an operation. Overwhelmed by guilt and fearing the consequences, Gunner 'G' conceals the truth from Njeri and decides to send her to medical school as a way to shield her from the harsh reality. To salvage his relationship with Njeri and secure the future of the Mwiki residents, Gunner 'G' hatches a daring plan to steal money from the MP. The question looms: will he succeed?
