Nairobi Woman Representative, Esther Passaris, on Wednesday, endured the wrath of Kenyans after refusing to help a Kenyan.
It all started when a group identified as Videlta Glory appealed to her, alongside Governor Mike Sonko and his Mombasa counterpart, Hassan Joho, to help a family clear their deceased relative's bill.
"The family is reaching to us to help clear the Late David Mutemi's Bill we reach out to you because we know when we come together great things happen," pleaded Glory.
In her response, Passaris claimed that she was not in a position to help because her salary was already exhausted and that the county government was yet to settle her per diem.
She further disclosed that she was waiting for defamation payout from numerous lawsuits and that when it happens, she would finally be in a position to help.
"Sorry my salary and per diems exhausted. When the County Government pays the per diems due to me plus interest and the courts reinstate our house allowance and award me defamation in upcoming cases, I shall do more to help the many who the law cannot in the short run," she explained.
Kenyans were, however, not satisfied with her explanation and condemned her for lack of empathy.
"There's no need for you to be condescending to someone asking for help. Being silent would not have hurt madam women rep. As a person who proudly voted for you, seeing this fills me with disgust!" Shared David Mwangi.
"Is this you,Madam Women Rep? Did someone take over your twitter account for a moment? You've stooped this low? If you can't help, just don't add salt to injury," added Areba Bonface.
"Did someone hack Esther Passaris account because this doesn't sound like her. You didn't have to say anything," posted another user.
