In retaliation, the governor told Passaris, “”I am not your husband that I should answer your calls anytime you want. Let us respect one another. Even President Uhuru Kenyatta does not respond to my calls every time.”
The Nairobi County governor further accused the legislator of summoning him to her hotel room, claims Passaris has since denied.
She has on her part vowed to take down the governor.
