Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has responded to a petition filed with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) seeking her recall from office. She challenged her detractors to offer solutions instead of tearing down her work, while defending her controversial Public Order (Amendment) Bill.

• The petition, led by activist Shakira Wafula, cites violations of the Constitution, abuse of office, neglect of duty, and breach of public trust as grounds.
• The Public Order (Amendment) Bill, sponsored by Passaris, sparked widespread backlash for its perceived attempt to curtail protest rights, particularly after the June 25 protests by Gen Zs.
• If the IEBC deems the petition valid, Nairobi residents would need to collect signatures from at least one-third of registered voters to trigger a recall election.
