Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa on Thursday, November 14, found himself on the receiving end, after he made a remark about Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi that many Kenyans thought was in bad taste.

"It is hereby ordered that the respondent (Fatman Gedi) hand over the children Asha Mohammed Abdi, Abdmalik Mohammed Abdi and Abdikadir Mohammed Abdi to the petitioner to stay with them for the remainder of the April school holiday 2019," an excerpt of the court document read.
While captioning the documents, the Kimilili MP asked Inua Mama leaders help find Ms Gedi a spouse.
"Hon Fatuma Gedi you forgot your below document in Kibra. Rehema Jaldesa, Cate Waruguru and Wangui Ngirici, please rally KEWOPA to combine forces with Inua Mama to assist Gedi get another husband," he posted.
