Nairobi Governor Ann Kananu has condemned an incident in which the convoy of Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris was attacked by goons during campaigns in Westlands on Monday 28.
Kananu said that such incidents should not be tolerated in a civilised society.
"What happened to Esther Passaris and her convoy cannot, should not, and ought not to happen in a civilized country like ours. Thuggerism and intimidation of political figures should be condemned in the strongest terms possible," she said in a tweet.
Esther Passaris on Monday claimed that her convoy was attacked while on a campaign trail in Westlands Constituency near Deepsea slums, Nairobi county.
Passaris, in a post on social media, called upon the office of the Interior Ministry and the National Police service to intervene.
"Our convoy is under attack. We are in Westlands near Deepsea. Help. The thugs have taken our truck keys and are demanding money to give back our keys," Passaris tweeted.
She added that they are stranded inside the truck.
Her convoy had successfully mobilised residents in Parklands Ward, Westlands Constituency, for a rally before the attack.
Passaris is seeking to defend her seat under the ODM ticket which is one of the parties under the Azimio la Umoja Movement.
