Thursday,
January 18, 2024 - Nairobi County Woman Representative, Esther Passaris, has condemned
the increase of cases of women being killed in Nairobi, especially ‘token girls’
In an
interview with one of the local TV stations on Thursday, Passaris said the femicide cases reported were horrific and the suspects
should face the full force of the law.
She referred to the recent case of Starlet
Wahu and lauded the victims for telling their stories.
“I’m so proud of the witnesses who came out
after Starlet Wahu’s story was aired and reliving that pain by talking about it
because that I hope, will keep that man behind bars," Passaris said
"Sometimes I feel that we have scrapped
the death penalty, but people like that should not be living on our
taxes,” Passaris added.
The ODM legislator described some of the cases
as cult-like and serial killer-like, graphic and painful.
Passaris also condoled with the families of
the deceased.
“I don’t know how any parent can heal from
that… My prayers go out to the families, friends, community, and the country,”
she said.
