Esther Passaris and Babu Owino. [Photo/sde.co.ke]Moments after Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Pasaris took to social media to condemn Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino over remarks he made during a NASA rally in Nairobi on Sunday, a section of Kenyans online have also harshly criticised her.Owino is reported to have likened the president to a dog, saying "president is a child of a dog", remarks that angered Passaris who took to social media to apologise to the former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta, and her family.The ODM legislator further called on her fellow politicians and Kenyans on both sides of the divide not to abuse the freedom of speech whether on social media or otherwise.However, Passaris seems to have provoked supporters believed to be allied to the opposition team who took to social media to attack her following her sentiments.
While some of her followers told her to join Jubilee party others asked why she has never condemned Moses Kuria. But some agreed with her.
Below are some mixed reactions from twitter users:
