Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has sparked online discussions after sharing messages she claims were sent to her by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino. According to Passaris, the MP sent her messages that appeared to be romantic.
In a statement, Passaris expressed her surprise and concern over the alleged messages. She questioned whether the MP was aware of her age, noting that she is older and of a similar age as his mother.
She described the situation as unexpected and inappropriate.
Passaris shared screenshots of the alleged romantic WhatsApp messages on her social media, saying they included requests for a relationship.
She did not provide further details but said she wanted the public to know about the claims.
The posts quickly drew attention online. Some Kenyans expressed doubt about the authenticity of the messages, pointing out that the Woman Representative is older than the MP.
Others focused on broader discussions about privacy and social media use by public figures.
So far, Babu Owino has not responded to the claims.
The story continues to generate debate on social media, with many users discussing both the messages and the wider implications of such online interactions between politicians.
