Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Boss Shollei on Saturday declared that she will not engage in a populist politics.
The first time legislator further said he will not accept to be a flower girl by attending other people's functions.
"I am not a flower girl who advertises herself so as to be seen. I have a different style of politics and leadership, just like other leaders who do things their own way," said Shollei during a media breakfast with Eldoret journalists on Saturday.
This has however sparked an online debate and elicited mixed reactions amongst Facebook users in a popular local group, UASIN GISHU COUNTY FORUM after one user posted;
Here are selected reactions of the Facebook users to the Woman Rep's remark;
"Great work pongezi kwa hiyo. Shollei is not a politician but a servant that's why she can't attend those so-called tangatangas," Emmanuel Chirchir said.
"You will not be reelected plain truth, you're so selfish," John Kemboi said.
"Electorate is regretting electing her, we will not repeat the same mistake," Maraba Philip commented.
"Shollei has been my favourite leader since her election, I don't regret electing her and given another chance I will still elect her. Chapa kazi mama," Dickxon Maritim noted.
"To me, there is something she's trying to avoid. You know in those meetings she calls populist the 2022 issues of the Presidential election come in. Her heart is elsewhere and she gets irritated when people drum up support for our No 2," Dan Chepkwony noted.
"Aendelee kumangamanga Nairobi wakati Chebichiich anaendelea kusaidia wananchi," Kachego Steve said.
"Well we're waiting for such fruitful ideas you have madam county," Sammy Kirwa said.
"Ati??? you are not a flower girl you said? Abomination, what have you done 4 the Uasin Gishu women, youth and people with the disability? kura 2022 you will not get?" Christine Koech posed.
