Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and Women Rep Esther Passaris’ controversy has remained the talk of the town since Sonko revealed damning details of her on Madaraka Day.
The Sonko, Passaris beef was brought to the public limelight when the Governor publicly attacked his Women Rep.
Passaris had made sensational claims that Sonko had been avoiding her calls and neglected her in the running of the City.
An angry Sonko would later bash Passaris making the women Rep storm out of the public event.
Sonko’s and Passaris audio conversation would later leak alleging that Sonko was making sexual advances to the married governor.
In the audio, Passaris is head making sexual advances to Sonko after he promises her Ksh 500k . She goes on to cklaim that she will love him but Sonko hits back with saying that he has a wife and credits his morality to the governorship.
Now, furious Mbita Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo has made an attack on Sonko while defending Passaris.
According to the legislator, there are many types of love and Governor Sonko should not have taken the ‘I love you’ message from Passaris to conclude it is a romantic kind of love.
She also wondered why nobody has taken issue with male politicians who have many wives.
“Honourable Mike Sonko is now attacking Esther Passaris and you want us to keep quiet. Nobody is talking yet some of these men have ten to twenty women but when you hear a woman like Esther Passaris has said ‘I love you’, how are you interpreting it? There is agape love and other forms of love,” Millie furiously said.
Milly as well went on to point out that when Sonko made a similar kind of attack on the former Nairobi Woman Rep Rachael Shebesh, the male MPs did not utter a word on her defence.
She made it clear that the same will not allow that to happen again.
The legislator even went ahead to entice the female stand-in speaker that she loves her and that should not be interpreted to mean she is a lesbian.
“I want to tell you madam speaker, that I love you but am not a lesbian. So let them(men) not interpret ‘I love you’ in their own words,” she said.
The fierce legislator was saying this during the National Assembly proceedings which saw Mwende Mwinzi , a nominated Kenya’s ambassador to Seoul asked to denounce her US citizenship before she is formally appointed.
This is after a resolution by MP’s who adopted a report by the national assembly foreign relations committee that approved her nomination on condition she denounces her US citizenship. The caveat for her appointed sparked heated debate in the house.
