It seems the woman who recently breached the security of Education Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang'i and caused drama in Nyaribari area is not new to controversy.
A video of the same woman, who identified herself as Christine, has resurfaced online showing a past incident where she also breached the security of former Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko and accosted him, demanding help.
But the twist in the undated video with Sonko is that the woman appears deaf and animately expresses her grievances to the former governor in sign language, as a translator interprets.
It is not clear what intervention was taken then by Sonko concerning her plight.

The video emerged just hours after she came out publicly to reveal why she wanted to speak with the interior CS in Nyaribari area when she breached his security.
According to her, she wanted to address the CS over the increasing cases of insecurity in the region. She said the police officers are not proactive when residents report the cases, and she wanted to bring the concern to the attention of the CS.
"We have raised the issue with the County Commander and the County Commissioner on a number of occasions and asked them to transfer some police officers, but no action has since been taken," she stated.
She argued that some officers were working with lawbreakers and covering up felonies, referencing a case where two headteachers were burnt beyond recognition inside their houses.
"I was so shocked when I was beaten up by the CS's security detail. I did not want to borrow money from him. I wanted to pass across the important information," she continued.
Defending herself she argued that she personally knows Matiang'i and they have once talked on the phone.
"If indeed I wanted money from him, I would have just sent him a message because we know each other, but that was not what I wanted."
Kisii County Commander, Francis Kooli, swung into action with the assistance of junior officers stopping Christine from reaching CS Matiang'i during the Nyaribari incident.
"The police commander most likely knew what I was going to tell the CS because I had reported the issues to him a number of times. That could have been the reason why he beat me up," she said.
