This comes after one of online users warned her against posting videos of her while in India, according to him, it’s offensive to Kenyans who can’t afford medical bills.
“You should stop posting this because, how do you think people from slums feel yet they can’t afford Kenyatta National Hospital KNH,” George Kathecha reacted.
Passaris’s comment got the attention of rapper King Kaka who blasted her for bragging on how much she used during her campaign.
King Kaka went on to say that, it was shameful for the lawmaker to talk about KSh 50 million campaign money when a majority of her voters cannot access reliable and affordable healthcare.
@EstherPassaris shame shame Shame. The talk should be on how we have made our health reliable to the point you are getting your surgery at KNH. Wewe Uko Hapo unatuambia juu ya 50million. Stop being selfish for once , just for once and serve the people who put you there. Shame
