In a startling turn of events, the already intense rivalry between Governor Simba Arati and Women Representative Doris Aburi has taken a controversial twist.
The latest episode unfolded when a clip surfaced online, featuring Hon Doris Aburi engaging in a phone call with an officer, questioning his prolonged absence from work.
The officer, visibly distressed, revealed that he had lost his wife and was in mourning. However, the situation took an unfortunate turn as the Women Representative pressed him on the duration of his mourning period, ultimately labeling him a “useless officer.” Sources close to Aburi later clarified that she was attempting to highlight the challenges faced by an officer working under the county boss.
Despite the clarification, the clip has sparked widespread criticism on social media, with netizens condemning it as reckless and insensitive.
Many expressed disappointment over the Women Representative’s handling of the situation, suggesting that her attempt at satire had gone terribly wrong.
The tension between Arati and Aburi reached a public climax during the Kitutu Chache South Sports Bonza last week.
In a dramatic gesture, the Women Representative abruptly left the podium upon Governor Simba Arati’s arrival, underscoring the palpable animosity between the two leaders.
It is worth noting that during the last general elections, Governor Arati and Women Representative Aburi campaigned together, successfully ousting the incumbent women representative, Janet Ongera of ODM.
The recent discord between the once-united political allies has left many speculating about the future dynamics of leadership in the region.
