Kisii County Woman Representative Dorice Donya has found herself on the receiving end after sharing a video of herself lecturing her bodyguard.

On Tuesday, December 26, Donya recorded herself calling the bodyguard, who had not allegedly reported to work.

What Dorice Donya said in the video

From the phone conversation, it emerged that the said officer lost his wife, and that was the main reason he had not reported to duty for three weeks.

While captioning the video ''useless officer'', Donya questioned the officer, wondering how mourning his wife was related to work.

"How are you, officer, I have not seen you for three weeks at work. I know you buried her two weeks ago. So you stayed for three weeks because your are mourning your wife. How is mourning your wife related to your work, you are paid for what you produce at work. You have not come to work three weeks and your are telling me you are mourning your wife and I Know you buried her," Donya said.

Donya's video attracted heavy criticism from Kenyans, who questioned the morals of the politician.

Those who commented on the video said the Kisii MP was heartless to the officer who had just buried his wife.

Elsewhere, Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai came under the wrath of Kenyans on social media after a clip of him assaulting a Kenya Power employee emerged on social media.

Mbai was caught on camera lashing out at the KPLC staffer for allegedly disconnecting the electricity in his Kitengela home.

In the video shared by Citizen TV, the parliamentarian was spotted abandoning decorum and acting in a violent manner towards the KPLC employee whom he demanded the restoration of electricity in his home.

The physical attack was preceded by a trail of insults that the MP spewed, leaving the KPLC engineers speechless.
