WAJIR – Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Jehow was on Monday heckled by a section of residents during what has been reported as her first public appearance since winning the seat in the 2022 General Election.

The incident unfolded as Jehow addressed members of the public, with some residents interrupting her speech and expressing dissatisfaction over her leadership and visibility in the county.

The dramatic confrontation has reignited debate over the legislator’s performance in office, with critics accusing her of maintaining a low public profile since assuming office nearly four years ago.

However, some residents and political observers believe the heckling may also reflect the intensifying political atmosphere as leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Political activity has begun gathering momentum across the country, with elected leaders facing increased public scrutiny over their development record, accessibility and engagement with constituents.

The event adds to a growing list of public confrontations involving politicians as the race towards the 2027 General Election gradually takes shape, with voters increasingly demanding accountability and visible leadership from their elected representatives.
