Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has broken her silence on Governor Mike Sonko’s allegations that she had been demanding money from him.
Speaking at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Passaris said that she has chosen to follow the law.
“I have chosen to act with integrity and follow the Constitution. I will not go down that route,” Passaris said shortly after landing from Canada.
The Nairobi Woman Rep added that she will visit the office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) and the office of National Cohesion so that the matter could be looked into.
“This time I’m not letting it go, I will use every single rule and law to ensure that this is the last time that somebody uses falsehood to bring down a woman leader,” she said.
The tiff between Sonko and Passaris began on Madaraka Day when the Governor told the Nairobi Women Rep to stop going round telling people that he ignores her calls.
It later escalated when Sonko accused Passaris of demanding for money from him during a live TV interview.
