Esther Passaris’ Viral Golf Outfit at EAC Games Sparks Debate on Legislative Work

Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has captured widespread attention for her stylish and sporty outfit while competing in the golf competition at the 15th East African Community (EAC) Inter-Parliamentary Games in Kampala, Uganda.

The event, which aims to strengthen regional parliamentary ties, saw Passaris confidently navigating the Kampala Golf Club in a fitted navy blue T-shirt, matching cap, a short white-and-blue patterned mini skirt, white shoes, and coordinating socks.

Videos of her teeing off and strolling the greens quickly circulated, drawing immediate online engagement.

Social Media Erupts: Praise and Persistent Critique

The viral moment ignited a typical, yet telling, split in online commentary.

While many Kenyans openly admired her confident look, a significant number used the opportunity to question her legislative performance, reflecting her polarising public persona.

@tinys_life8

: “She looks great, but there is no work that she is doing.”

@Mogitileee

: “But she looks good.”

@Nyakiolaura

: “She does look good, truth be told.”

@Faynati

: “She looks good if you look at her without jealousy.”

@Iammikali

: “She looks good. Kazi ndio hafanyi.”

@miss_imbova

: “If I looked like her, I would definitely show off... she can't wear a dera to a golf game.”

@skin_by_tanzanian_lady: “Miguna Miguna should not see this.”

Kenya Dominates the Golf Leaderboard

Passaris’s participation was part of a successful outing for the Kenyan delegation. Team Kenya clinched the top spot at the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Parliamentary Golf Day with a commanding tally of 439 points. The victory underscored the event's dual focus on sport and regional diplomacy.

In celebrating the win on X, Passaris highlighted the spirit of the event:

"Team Kenya finished at the top with a powerful 439 points... A fantastic day of diplomacy, sport, and friendship across our East African region."

While this triumph adds to Kenya’s spirited performance in Kampala, the team has faced tough competition from the host nation, Uganda, which secured dominant early victories in games like netball (72–12 against Kenya) and football.
