The Nairobi woman representative Esther Passaris has expressed her disappointment at young men who have been sending her sexually inappropriate messages online, regretting their disrespect to adults.
Speaking in an event, Passaris said that some young men have been sending her explicit messages and images. She finds this behaviour absolutely inappropriate for her age.
She compared these young men to her own children, who are in their twenties.
“Sometimes young men disrespect me. They tell me they have inches,” she said.
Shocked by the audacity of these young men, she urged them to be disrespectful, stressing that at her age of 60 years, they are as young as her own children.
Her comments highlight the broader challenges that public figures face online.
This behaviour not only crosses personal boundaries but also lacks respect that young people should accord not only elected leaders but those older than them too.
