Pray for her! Esther Passaris in Aga Khan hospital for surgery!

Posted on by Geoffrey Mbuthia

Esther Passaris is now in Aga Khan Hospital. The reason for her stay in the facility is that she is set to undergo a Medial Branch Block procedure plus Paraspinal.

A medial branch nerve block is a procedure in which an anesthetic is injected near small medial nerves connected to a specific facet joint. Typically several levels of the spine are injected in one procedure.

Passaris shared through her Twitter page on Monday about admission and her condition. She has been battling backaches for almost 20 years which started after her pregnancy.

She said the pain has been a matter of recurrence, which comes on and off. She stated that rudimentary tasks such as walking had become a tall order due to her condition.

‘You were loved beyond measure,’ Esther Passaris mourns Ken Okoth

“I miss gyming, I have not been able to exercise. I can’t walk for more than half an hour. I can’t sleep at night and that’s why I look exhausted. Even with the painkillers, I can’t sleep,” she stated.

Passaris noted that the procedures she has undergone to remedy the pain had been expensive. She credited her insurance cover for enabling her access the medical care that she needed.

Passaris went through thyroidectomy surgery to remove her goiter in February at Nairobi hospital which had been growing for 10 years.

The city Woman Rep is under the care of Dr. Thikra Shariff and Livingstone Olunya.

Millie Odhiambo recently spoke about what she had gone through as a childless woman in Kenya revealing a lot about her inner pain and travails.

I love pekejeng! Millie Odhiambo tells Sonko in ugly spat

Millie is a complex woman, serious and nuanced at one time and playful and jocular at another. She exposed her fun side yesterday when she revealed some information about some thirsty individual

The vocal lawmaker amazed and tickled Kenyans when she showed the lengths to which a thirsty follower of hers went in order to shoot his shot with her.

She wrote on her Facebook page;

 

The post elicited a lot of reactions from her followers with most laughing about the audacious nature of the thirsty man. Some of the comments are below;

Beatrice Gura Pwaahaha blacklist this cnman .
Mamou Nyarsuba The sword is getting rusted nyar rusinga
Joan Ochola Ukiembrasiwa embrasika ha ha ha
Maryline Agwa Criminal from kamiti prison Kenya
Saad Miraji Khairallah Walimwengu wana mengi
Duncan Ogaro Mikae Rust ni wewe Paka mzee pia hunywa maziwa 😂😂😂 kubali tu kukuwa admired.
Christine Ayino Millie Mabona rusted? Never! You are like wine my dear friend!
Donald Korir You ought to have written that to him

Millie isn’t the only female politician to be hit on online. 4 months ago, Nairobi women’s rep Esther Passaris had to deal with a follower who described himself as a ‘potential husband’ and wanted to have a date with the ODM legislator.

“I am a potential husband (and) will pay you a visit to your office we schedule for a date,” he tweeted. In her response, Passaris slammed the tweep for disrespecting women and asked him to ‘grow up’.

These female politicians don’t play around. If you are going to shoot your shot be prepared for the potential rejection you might get.

Esther Passaris proves long braids are appropriate for any age

Posted on by Maureen Waruinge

 

Women over 40 can wear a variety of lengthy styles ranging from buns and braided updos to loose curls and waves.

Nairobi woman rep Esther Passaris has been rocking her braids with so much grace and style.

We have hardly seen her in braids, but Nairobi Woman rep Esther Passaris is spotting long abuja braids in the coolest look by any female politician.

Passaris is currently rocking long black braids and when we say these braids are long we are not kidding.

Even in an updo, her braids hang to her waist and we have taken note of her style.

I have more between my head than my legs – Esther Passaris tells KOT

Posted on by Geoffrey Mbuthia

Nairobi Women’s Representative Esther Passaris had a Thursday I think she might want to have back. The vocal politician got into a spat with Kenyans on Twitter and you can guess how that ended for the leader.

My dress my choice! Passaris defends see-through gown

Passaris’ troubles started when she pointed out that Kenyan legislators needed more allowances as the money they get paid is largely used in helping their own constituents.

This was not a truth pill that many Kenyans wanted and the fight degenerated into fierce mudslinging with most of the Kenyans on Twitter coming at her with the fire of a thousand suns.

One accusation that went a step too far, in my opinion, was that she was fond of luring powerful men to bed in order to get favours. The person wrote;

No need to be stupidly dumba*s and not challenge facts for what they are with completely idiotic accusation of being se3ist. Passaris character is known and she has no other achievement apart from luring men to bed. Be real.

This allegation brought out the big guns from the women’s Rep. In her vulgar caustic response, she pulverised the poster. She wrote;

Ask your father & mother what they thinks of me. You might learn a thing or two about women including your own mother, wife, sister, daughter. Hopefully you will learn that s3x is overrated as an income earner. I have more between my ears than between my legs.#JoinMyBlockedList

Her caustic reply didn’t garner the support she might have wanted as the comments were not kind to the woman rep. Something tells me we haven’t heard the end of this…

Esther Passaris’ Louis Vuitton bag causes furor in parliament

Posted on by Delyne Momanyi

During one of the parliamentary sessions, the leader of the majority raised an alarm about the bag Hon. Passaris had carried.

It was not appropriate according to him.

Tokeo la picha la passaris bag in parliament

This, however, left the other members of parliament wondering whether the issue was the bag or Passaris. Hon. Passaris gave an explanation of why she had the Louis Vuitton bag.

‘Mr. Speaker, I wonder why the leader of the majority is observant with everything that I do. From my thermos and now my bag. It is actually a medical order from my doctor that I should balance my weight at my back that is why I have carried a backpack. I have actually gone through the sergeant at arm and they have verified what am carrying.’

This explanation was seen to be genuine hence she was allowed to carry on with the session.

Congratulations : Check out photos of Anerlisa Muigai in her “ruracio” ceremony!

 

Citizens, on the other hand, were left with many unanswered questions.

The members of parliament are busy discussing these issues while there are much more important things that need attention? That is why we will never move. 

So this is actually what the people we elected sit to do in parliament while we are busy suffering out here?

The worst part is that the Speaker is actually sited there listening and entertaining such kind of talks.

Those were some of the comments from the disappointed citizens. They felt that there were much more issues to discuss than just an ordinary bag.

My dress my choice! Passaris defends see-through gown

Posted on by Geoffrey Mbuthia

Esther Passaris has been in the news this past month mainly due to her back and forth with Nairobi governor Mike Sonko. The two dominated the headlines last week after their spat spilled over into the public domain.

But that isn’t the reason I am writing this story. The Nairobi Women’s Rep was also attacked after photos emerged of her wearing a see-through dress.

Some criticised her saying that a woman her age should not wear those types of dresses. She has now responded to the attacks on her person. She told one particular Twitter user that the dress in question was a gift from her husband. The tweet is below;

Her followers mostly agreed with her sentiment. Some of their comments are below;

Miss Kirui 🇰🇪; Imagine being bothered by what a woman is wearing and thinking you have an opinion on it . Tragic😭
DAtundo Atundo; Yeah Right? RIGHT, but YOU are an ELECTED public figure if not leader.
Have some DISCRETION!
chichi; 😂😂kwani mnataka avae aje si ni binadamu ka nyinyi mnasumbua😂😂🚮
Benji Ndolo; It’s a se3y dress tbh 👌
OseiTutu; Kuuliza tu,ule beshte yako Joe alihit?
Atieno Okeyo; Clearly alot of people luv this look they keep bringing back the issue of this dress! Do not be intimidated.
Apeironjohns; So long as my mum is at home wearing her best to please daddy. I don’t care whether others wear sacks or go naked. Anyway the Women Rep wore her best that time only that idlers are everywhere doing what they love best.
EFFIE ALINA™; No apologies required! Do you sis!

The issue of how women dress will always be a hot-button topic. In Europe, the debate has been raging over Frances’s controversial move to ban face-covering headgear, including masks, helmets, balaclavas, niqābs and other veils covering the face in public places, except under specified circumstances.

The ban also applied to the burqa, a full-body covering, if it covers the face. Consequently, full body costumes and Zentais (skin-tight garments covering entire body) were banned.
