Nairobi Woman Representative aspirant Esther Passaris is on the spot after she put up a poster asking voters to donate funds towards her campaign.
According to the poster, her supporters stand a chance to win bicycles and motorcycles in draws that will be conducted on 19th July, 26th July and 2nd August 2017 if they donate Sh100 towards the campaign.
Though some did not mind her new strategy, a number were irked because the poster stated,"The more you donate the higher your chances of winning."

She should ask people to own the campaign which to me its more a request & courtesy one.

Campaigns are expensive. I humble myself as I ask for your support.#DonateAndWin You can help derive and deliver your leaders by design.

“You shall know them by their fruits.” What should we expect of a leader who entices with prizes? Bad idea.
