Hon. Esther Passaris (Nairobi City County, ODM) It has helped us empower thousands of Nairobians to access projects. The money available has helped us move from one level to another.

Hon. Esther Passaris (Nairobi City County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When it comes to housing, I want Kenyans to understand. Just look at your own House, the one you are managing. I have my House and my business, yet I struggle. There is this one man, William Samoei...

Hon. Esther Passaris (Nairobi City County, ODM) No, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On this matter, Pastor Ng’ang’a already went to the DCI and recorded a statement. The DCI are now coming back to me asking whether the clip is AI-generated. It is ridiculous to tell me they are going to investigate...

Hon. Esther Passaris (Nairobi City County, ODM) In Abigail's case, they said they have no reagents to do the DNA with. The chief prime suspect, who was arrested, was probably released and is out at large to rape his next victim.
