ODM politician Millie Mabona has issued a bold and defiant response following an online exchange that dragged her into a heated discussion linked to controversial blogger Robert Alai.
In a strongly worded message shared on her social media platforms, Millie made it clear that she would not be intimidated by online criticism, threats, or political pressure. Using striking language, she emphasized her confidence and transparency in public life.
“I came naked and I go out naked with my head held high up. Proceed please. Irito ang’o?” Millie wrote — a statement that quickly went viral and sparked heated debate across social media platforms.
Following the backlash and speculation, Millie clarified that her remarks were not directed at Robert Alai personally but at what she referred to as “his handler,” a comment that further fueled curiosity and intensified online discussions.
Her response comes at a time when political discourse, especially within the ODM space, has increasingly shifted to social media, often marked by sharp exchanges and public confrontations.
While the exact trigger of the clash was not clearly outlined, many interpreted Millie’s statement as a firm rejection of intimidation tactics and a declaration of personal integrity.
Supporters rallied behind her, praising her courage and resilience. Many said her words symbolized entering public service with honesty and leaving it the same way, regardless of attacks or smear campaigns.
Others viewed the message as a broader warning to political operatives who use digital platforms to harass or discredit leaders, particularly women.
Critics, however, questioned the tone of the statement, arguing that leaders should strive to calm tensions online rather than escalate them.
Despite this, Millie Mabona has remained firm, issuing no apology and showing no sign of retreat.
Her remarks have resonated widely, especially among Kenyans who believe social media has become a hostile space for women in politics.
As reactions continue to pour in, Millie’s stance highlights a growing trend of leaders choosing direct, unapologetic communication when confronting controversy in Kenya’s evolving digital political arena.
