• Their beef began roasting when Passaris went to Parliament and Duale asked that she greet him
  • They pair had an exchange after Duale dared Raila Odinga to remove the IEBC from office

Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris has hit out at Garissa Town MP Aden Duale, calling him a boy toy. An angry Passaris said that, “Duale is younger than me. I don’t go out with boy toys, I go out with mature men.”

Their beef began roasting when Passaris went to Parliament and Duale, the Majority Leader, asked that she greet him but “I told him I can’t greet men who disrespect my party leader (Raila Odinga). He shouldn’t joke with me, or I will fight him mundu khu mundu.”

The disrespect Passaris was referring to was about Duale’s earlier dare to Raila to remove the IEBC from office ahead of the elections. “Raila kama wewe ni mwanaume kuja utoe IEBC. Ukitoa IEBC tutatoa wale ma commissioner ambayo tunajua ni watu wako. Wamekaa kwa kila commission kuanzia Judicial Service Commission...”

Passaris then took a swipe at Duale questioning his age, level of education and upbringing.

“Can someone please tell me how old this man is? What’s his level of education? What’s his upbringing? What does he consume? I don’t get him,” she said.

Duale, in a swift rejoinder wrote: “To Passaris, am 50 yrs old, with decent humble Islamic upbringing, went to national schools and known universities, married to a decent wife with five sons. That’s Aden Duale. Am sorry I have no space (sic).”

Duale added that Passaris, despite being a Woman Representative with powers to legislate, represent and oversight, should know that he (Duale) is not part of her job.

“After you undergo the 12th Parliament orientation next week, we can then have a parliamentary leaders discourse. I am not ready for anything else.”

Nairobi gubernatorial loser and prominent lawyer Miguna Miguna, also joined the fray, saying Duale is a failure who only got to his current position, thanks to his father-in-law. “Stop lying @HonAdenDuale. You failed flat in high school; never attended “university;” & was only rescued by your father-in-law. I keep tabs.” Tweeted Miguna.

Duale holds a Bachelor of Education degree from Moi University and an Executive MBA from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
