Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Monday passed by Burma Market in Nairobi county where he addressed the residents in the area.
However, Nairobi County Woman Representative Esther Passaris has criticised the meeting citing it lacked "gender balance".
"#GenderBalance I promise I wouldn't have overeaten and burst your budget if you invited me as the duly elected Woman Rep. This 'boys club' mentality needs to be checked. 50% of our population are women. We have been told to fight for our space. #SDG5" read a tweet by Passaris.
Leaders who accompanied the opposition leader at the event include Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja, Makadara MP George Aladwa, the Senate minority leader and Siaya Senator James Orengo among other leaders who were all male.
During the meeting, the former Prime Minister asked Kenyans not be concerned about 2022 politics but focus on making things better now.
“Don’t be swayed or derailed by politics of 2022. There are things we must fix before 2022. If we don’t stand up now, things are going to get worse,” Raila said.
