Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has reprimanded Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu for her lack of attention during proceedings.
Speaking during a parliamentary section on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, Kingi called out Nyamu for being distracted while he was explaining the procedures for the proposed impeachment proceedings against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
“Senator Karen Nyamu be attentive,” Kingi called her out.
Ruto on Nyamu’s behaviours
This is not the first time Nyamu has been called out for her behaviours, on July 5, 2024, President William Ruto during an engagement with Gen-Z on X Spaces revealed that he had taken time to speak to her about how she conducts herself in public.
Ruto went on to say that during their sit down, he told her that she needed to change her behaviour.
“I agree that some of our officials are arrogant, some of them display obnoxious opulence which angers the public. Sometimes I call some of those people and I give them a piece of my mind. Even Nyamu is a girl I have had to sit her down and tell her that she needs to change what she is doing,” Ruto stated.
The President noted that the issue stemmed from some leaders being young and prone to mistakes. He assured that while he might not be able to achieve a complete overhaul as desired by Kenyans, he would make some necessary changes.
“You know, these young people get excited about many things and sometimes do wrong things. I know what is going on, and I will make changes. I know you want a clean slate, but you do not have the job I have,” Ruto pointed out.
Karen Nyamu has been facing criticism on multiple occasions for her actions which have raised public concern about her role as a nominated senator.
