Kenyan social media users have been abuzz with conversation about Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli's mzungu 'house help' after a photo of a Caucasian woman serving Atwoli's wife, Mary Kilobi, at their home in Kajiado went viral on June 29, 2020.

Atwoli's wife, Mary Kilobi, had posted the photo on her Instagram page with the caption, 'Yes, it is that cold in Kajiado.'

Atwoli has now set the records straight about the Caucasian woman, Madam Pavic, stating that she is not his house help but an advisor on home management.

However, some Kenyans are skeptical of Atwoli's explanation, with some insisting that there is no difference between a home manager and a house help.

Others have jokingly referred to Madam Pavic as an 'elite name for a househelp', with one tweep commenting, 'Another improvised name for a househelp? Lead as others follow, papa.'
