Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has broken her silence after a petition to recall her was filed.
In a statement on July 29, 2025, Passaris claimed she would not inherit the burden of be dragged into battles that do not serve the best interests of her constituents.
“Those who want my seat must show what they can offer, not attempt to destroy what I’ve built. True leaders rise by lifting others, not by pulling them down. I stand firmly with President William Ruto because leadership is about progress, not personal grudges”, she stated.
This comes a day after a petition to recall Passaris was submitted.
“We, the undersigned citizens and registered voters of Nairobi County, submit this petition per Article 104 of the Constitution of Kenya and Section 45 of the Elections Act, seeking the immediate recall of Hon. Esther Muthoni Passaris, Woman Representative for Nairobi County,” the petition read in part.
“Hon. Passaris has demonstrated conduct unbecoming of a State Officer, undermined constitutional principles, disrespected the electorate, and failed to perform her representative and oversight functions with integrity, impartiality, and accountability,” it added.
