On December 18, 2019, lawyer Nelson Havi sparked controversy on social media with a sexist comment that rubbed media personality Lindah Ogutu the wrong way.
He had tagged Lindah on Twitter in a video of ODM leader Raila Odinga jokingly declaring that he is now younger and hence he wanted a 'ndogo ndogo' after getting a haircut, manicure, and pedicure services at the Miss White Hair Studio and Spa.
However, Havi's comment did not go well with Lindah, who asked him not to drag Odinga into his sentiments because she sees him as a father figure.
"Wakili, this man @RailaOdinga is the closest I have to a dad… he made that clear when he came to bury dad… So vitu zingine mnasema ni kumkosea heshima," Lindah posted.
Despite other Twitter users trying to calm her down, Lindah remained firm in her position, saying "You can't do that with a man I consider my father…… That's a no" and "Try and have respect… Its important".
