Passaris: Those who want my seat should not attempt to destroy what I have built

Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has issued a pointed message to political rivals eyeing her seat, urging them to focus on offering meaningful contributions rather than tearing down the foundations she has established. 

In a post shared on her X account on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Passaris stressed that true leadership is about building a better future, not engaging in destructive battles.

She emphasised that leadership should not be a pursuit marked by personal grudges or attempts to undermine others but a commitment to progress for the people

“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,” she declared.

Further, she quoted Nelson Mandela, reminding the public that one of the mistakes which some political analysts make is to think that their enemies should be our enemies.

She reiterated her refusal to inherit burdens of enmity or be dragged into battles that fail to serve the public interest. 

Instead, she voiced her firm support for President William Ruto, saying that leadership must transcend personal rivalries to focus on national development.

“I will not inherit the burden of enmity or be forced into battles that will not deliver for my people what they need most. I stand firmly with William Ruto because leadership is about progress, not personal grudges,” she added.

She said her Public Order Bill, which she championed, is rooted in values of protecting lives, upholding order, and ensuring that freedom does not descend into chaos.

“I am chosen, not forsaken. Leadership is not about tearing others down but about building a better future. My Public Order Bill is grounded in values of protecting lives, upholding order, and ensuring that freedom does not descend into chaos,” she added. 

Women support

Drawing inspiration from former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Passaris also invoked the call for women to support one another. 

“Madeleine Albright reminded us: There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women. I choose to lift, not tear down, because “I am who He says I am,” she wrote.
