2025 - Nairobi Woman Representative Esther
Passaris has come out guns blazing to address long-standing rumors
alleging that she traveled to Seychelles for a secret escapade with ODM party
leader, Raila Odinga, a
narrative she firmly denies and blames on controversial lawyer and activist Miguna Miguna.
The
explosive allegations, which originated during a heated TV debate in 2017, have
been circulating online for quite some time.
“I’ve never been to Seychelles,” Passaris stated
unequivocally, accusing Miguna of character assassination and engaging in
misogynistic slander.
“This isn’t criticism. It’s slander,” she wrote.
“It’s the kind of misogyny women in public life face daily,
dressed up as ‘truth-telling’ by men who thrive on dragging women through the
mud,’’ she added.
Passaris lamented that double standards are often applied to
female leaders in Kenyan politics, where personal attacks are used to discredit
or demean women who speak out or rise to positions of influence.
“Let’s be clear: You can’t claim to fight for justice while
dragging women with lies and insults,” she added.
“I stand by my truth not because it’s convenient, but because it’s mine,” she further stated.
