Nairobi Woman Rep rivals take off gloves on Churchill Show
By SYLVANIA AMBANINairobi Woman Representative aspirant Millicent Omanga was booed for taking a swing at her rival Rachel Shebesh during Churchill Show on Sunday.
Show host, Daniel Ndambuki aka Churchill hosted the all-women panel that included Nairobi Woman Representative, Rachel Shebesh, Esther Passaris, Karen Nyamu and Omanga who are all eyeing the same seat in the August 8 general elections.
Ms Omanga when asked what she would do within a 100 days in office if she gets elected, said she will advocate for legislation to make the Woman Rep seat a one-term position for any candidate.
“The position of woman representative should be a one term seat, because when you get to parliament you are already empowered and exposed to legislation. In addition you have the experience. Why should you go for a second term if you have not been able to achieve anything the first time?” she poised in a thinly veiled jibe at Shebesh.
Her comments elicited boos from the audience even as Shebesh attempted to calm down the crowd.
