On Saturday, Nairobi Women Representative Esther Passaris and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino found themselves at the center of a heated social media feud.

The controversy began when Owino threatened to 'shave' Kandara MP Alice Wahome for allegedly disrespecting ODM leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Passaris responded by accusing Owino of making defilement threats, prompting a sharp retort from the Embakasi East MP.

‘You must work for those women Passaris otherwise as it stands you are on your way home coz you have done nothing to Nairobi women,’ Babu Owino wrote.

Passaris fired back, saying she had a life before politics and would still have one after, and that her fate in 2022 would be decided by God.

‘Let God steer my voters in 17 constituencies to decide in 2022 according to the Lord’s plan and purpose in my life. As for going home. I fear not. East, west Homes best,’ Passaris said.
