Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has come under sharp criticism from Kenyans on social media over her birthday message to President William Ruto.
In her message to the Head of State, who turned 57 on Thursday, Passaris said Kenyans were united in appreciating Ruto’s contribution to the development of Kenya.
“I bring you not just the warmth of greetings, but the resounding voices of Kenyans united in appreciation for your contributions to our nation's story,” she said.
“No more lamenting; let's envision the Kenya we dream of and build it, brick by brick, with prayers and hard work. With faith, not fear, and goodness guiding our minds, hearts and bodies, we can make the impossible possible.”
Her message was met with harsh criticism from a section of Kenyans, who thought she was out of touch with the reality on the ground.
“Millions are lamenting except you, your household and friends alike,” said Elah Valley.
Tom Olango asked the Nairobi Woman Rep to “be realistic mama and speak the truth. No Kenyan is happy”.
“Passaris I will be voting you out in 2027 not because of this post you've posted but because of massive betrayal during Finance Bill and how you supported punitive tax proposals at the expense of suffering Kenyans,” another Kenyan said.
Sarah Saassh questioned the voices Passaris indicated she was representing.
“Which Kenyan voices? Muthoni which ones? The ones you ignored when you voted for the finance bill?” she posed.
Freddie Mwangi said Passaris had eaten from ODM and was now belching and throwing up on the Opposition.
