Bomet Woman Representative Linet Toto has stirred up lively debate in Kenya’s political circles after her distinctive approach during a recent parliamentary session.
Her choice to address a male MP in a manner that broke long-standing traditions has left many both surprised and intrigued.
In a video widely shared on social media, Toto is seen confidently taking the floor, her tone firm yet unmistakably personal.
“Honorable Speaker, I rise today to contribute, but before I proceed, let me say something to my good friend from the other side,” she began, her words immediately drawing murmurs from the chamber.
Rather than sticking to the usual rigid decorum, Toto injected a conversational tone into her address, catching her colleagues off guard.
“You know, sometimes we forget this house isn’t just about opposition and government—it’s about us as Kenyans first,” she told the MP, who appeared taken aback by her direct and warm approach.
Her remarks sparked laughter, applause, and some raised eyebrows, as members debated whether her style was a refreshing change or a breach of protocol.
“What Linet did today isn’t something we see often,” one MP commented later. “It’s bold, maybe even risky, but it got people listening.”
Social media erupted in discussion, with many applauding her authenticity and boldness. Others questioned whether such an approach would resonate in a setting known for its formality.
“Sometimes, to be heard, you have to be different,” said one viewer in the comments section of the viral clip.
For Linet Toto, it appears shaking things up may just be the start of her legacy in Parliament, as Kenyans eagerly await what she might say next.
