At a recent event, Farouk Kibet, a close aide to President William Ruto, was seen asking MP Millie Odhiambo to dance for the crowd.
The moment, captured in a viral video, has sparked a range of reactions online.
Kibet, wearing a white shirt and a hat, approached Odhiambo, who was dressed in a colorful, patterned dress, and encouraged her to dance.
Odhiambo initially hesitated but eventually complied, dancing briefly before resuming her speech.
The interaction has divided opinions. Some viewers praised Odhiambo for her willingness to engage with the crowd, seeing it as a light-hearted moment.
Others, however, criticized Kibet for what they perceived as an inappropriate request, arguing that it undermined Odhiambo’s role as a serious politician.
Social media comments ranged from “Farouk is so immoral” to “No! I expected more from her!”
The incident has reignited discussions about Kibet’s growing influence in Kenyan politics, especially in Western Kenya, where he has been accused of wielding power beyond his official role.
Odhiambo, known for her outspoken nature, continued her speech after the dance, addressing the crowd with her usual passion.
The video has since gone viral, prompting a broader conversation about respect and propriety in political events.
