Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has finally responded to allegations made by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on live TV on Wednesday night.
In an exclusive interview on the JK Live show on Citizen TV, Sonko claimed the Woman Rep has repeatedly demanded money from him since her election to office in 2017.
Armed with recorded phone conversations and text messages, the county boss outlined the instances Passaris had asked for money from him, noting the highest was Sh200 million.
He claimed the ODM legislator asked for the millions when he was battling an election petition in High Court.
The flamboyant politician said he refused to part with Sh200 million, but admitted of giving Passaris Sh10 million to pay the petitioners so they could drop the case.
"First she said she needs Sh200 million to go and pay the petitioners. I refused and told her 200 million is a lot of money I better go back to people so that we have a re-run," Sonko said, adding the MP swindled the petitioners the alleged Sh10 million.
The governor went further and alleged Passaris had been demanding double per diem from the county government and also attempting to break his marriage by sending him sensual messages.
However, in a tweet on Saturday, Passaris denied the allegations and termed Sonko as insecure and insincere person who was making up issues to drive a certain political agenda.
"I wish we had lie detectors in Kenya. We are dealing with a man who cannot tell the difference between a lie and the truth. That's a disorder that cannot be treated as sadly 'a narcissist' believes his lie to be the truth. Insecurity and inferiority haunt them to nonsense," she posted.
Passaris, who is currently in Canada, is expected to issue a comprehensive response over the allegations when she returns on Sunday.
