Nairobi Women Rep Esther Passaris has responded to the trolls by Kenyans on twitter who seemed to be unimpressed with her move to flag off a whole bus of Nairobians who are today attending Sharon Otieno’s burial.
The Nairobi Women Representative had earlier stated that the Nairobi team was going to stand in solidarity with the family & friends of the Late Sharon Otieno.
Wishing journey mercies to young activists from Nairobi who’ll stand in solidarity with the family & friends of the Late Sharon Otieno as she’s laid to rest tomorrow. I pray your experience is profound and that God watches over you throughout this trip. #JusticeForSharonOtieno pic.twitter.com/K03wXTZZfK

Despite this explanation, unimpressed Kenyans have today reacted saying that the move by the Nairobi Women Rep was uncalled for and she is also seeking public attention. Some even went ahead to joke about it but clearly the Women Rep had to speak some sense by reacting to some of the comments
God help you find humanity. https://t.co/QACiypvFpE

Is everyone who attends a funeral jobless? #GrowUp

Even with this criticism a section of Kenyans spoke in her defense while others appreciated this move.
Thanks Muheshimiwa for standing with the Sharon Family #JusticeForSharon If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences
