Esther Passaris fights off critics after being 'chased away' from End Femicide Protests

Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris is busy fighting off critics on Twitter (X App) after she was chased from the ‘End Femicide’ march on January 28, 2024.

Passaris entered a hostile crowd after joining a gathering that had convened for a march in protest of increased femicide cases.

Chanting ‘Go back home’ and ‘Where were you?’ the crowd at Jevanjee Gardens did not let Passaris utter a word when she was invited to make her address.

Undeterred, Passaris stayed on and took part in the protests with the rest of the group for some minutes before she was forcefully forced out.

She took the fight on Twitter, tackling every critic who tried to lecture her and celebrate the unfortunate incident.

A user asked;  “What is your position or statement on the killings of young people in our county Nairobi?

To which Passaris replied; “Those with ears; hear. Those with eyes; see. Those with mouths; taste. Those who search; find. Those who snooze; lose. Those who ask dumb questions; get smart answers,”.

Another user said; “I really BOOED @EstherPassaris! Best thing I’ve done in a long time. We need to boo these politicians whenever we see them!”

She replied’; You must have a really boring life if the best thing you have done in a long time was booing me. By the way. You might have worn a t-shirt, carried a placard, and drank water financed by @NGAAF_KE  for today’s march,’.

In a different tweet, Passaris tried to explain why she was booed at the ‘End Femicide’March in Nairobi.

“I was booed because I was the available punching bag to let out frustrations and to settle political scores. Not because “you did a little too late”. I have been on a planning wall with CSOs for the Femicide March from inception.  @NGAAF_KE  and my entire team stood up to be counted as mandated. We finished the march strong. Now back to work knowing we are ALL part of the solution and the problem,”.

The march, convened by civil society and human rights activists, started from Jevanjee Gardens and proceeded through various streets in the CBD.
