CAPTION: Mike Sonko and Jeff Koinange
On Wednesday afternoon, Kenyans on social media expressed their displeasure over Jeff Koinange’s decision to invite Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to his weekly talk show on Citizen TV just days after the ex-convict publicly humiliated Nairobi County Women Representative Esther Passaris.
The altercation between the two during Saturday’s Madaraka Day celebrations left tongues wagging countrywide with social media abuzz on the matter.
Passaris, who spoke before the Governor, had complained of Sonko’s unreachability saying her attempted phone calls to the Governor went unanswered on several occasions.
She said her development agenda had been derailed because of failure and delay by the County Government to approve her key development programs that needed the consent of the county.
When Governor Sonko rose to speak, the confrontation became murkier when he told off Passaris saying: “I am not your husband that I should be picking your calls the time you want.”
A disappointed Esther Passaris couldn’t take it anymore as she walked out of the celebrations before the county boss could finish his speech.
"Am not your husband" ~

She later expressed her disappointment on the Governor saying he stooped to low on his remarks knowing very well he knew her husband.
In 2016, Jeff Koinange was fired from KTN after the then Nairobi gubernatorial aspirants Miguna Miguna and Esther Passaris went overboard, with Miguna at some point telling Passaris “Esther, you are so beautiful, everyone wants to rape you”.
Jeff was under fire from social media users who accused him of “doing nothing” and allowing Miguna to disparage Passaris live on air.
Here are a few tweets from the hashtag that has been trending on Twitter.
Why is @CitizentvKenya giving a voice to a Governor who is sexist? Don't the editors have an ethics code?#SexistJKL pic.twitter.com/kOO36Pbsom

Jkl is slowly losing it. If not Sonko is Waititu, if not either its some old billionaire on bench lying to Kenyans how hard he worked and not how he stole the public money thru this and that project. We fed up. #SexistJKl

You are in your house sitting on a sofa watching TV?? C'mon it's 2019! By the way what is JKL?? I watch series & movies not news. trending news on Twitter is better than watching Tv with 15 adverts in every 30 minutes. reading newspapers is something of the past too. #SexistJKL
