Nominated Senator Karen is taking her fans down memory lane to a time in 2020 when her lover award-winning Mugithi musician Samidoh was giving her guitar lessons.
The senator shared an old video of herself receiving guitar lessons from her baby daddy on her Instagram stories.
This comes days after the politician was spotted with a black eye during a Scout and Girl Guide function in Nyeri on Friday, June 23, 2023, and concerned citizens speculated she was assaulted by her baby daddy.
Karen Nyamu addresses speculations
Taking to her Facebook, she went live to explain the incident to all hawk-eyed online sleuths who were creating assumptions.
The UDA-nominated senator addressed the matter trashing the speculations. She insisted that she has in the past gone through gender-based violence but not in her present life.
“But there is something that has drawn my attention. It is a photo that we took on Friday at a function in Nyeri a Scout and Girl Guides Function where the speaker of the Senate was the chief guest at the closing ceremony and so we had accompanied him with some Senators and this photo nimepigwa imefunika macho yangu moja, whatever alafu sijui kuna nini,” she narrated.
“There are many factors that lead to women being victims most of the time and it also the disproportionate economic empowerment between men and women,” she said.
“Women tend to be less empowered and it doesn’t exclude even empowered women being victims of gender-based violence. I personally have been a victim in the past and I’m not one to keep quiet about such a thing ama kuficha and if there’s one truthful person after Riggy G in this country it is Karen Nyamu,” she further stated.
The senator, on the other hand, expressed her displeasure with people making jokes about gender-based violence.
“So watu wanamake fun of gender based violence especially watu wale hawanilike, they think that gender-based violence is something you can use to settle scores or something you should wish on your enemies and these are women. We can’t be this ignorant in this day and age. Gender-based violence is a serious issue, it affects 40 percent of women in Kenya just like in Africa it affects more women than men,” displeased Karen noted.
Karen went on to remark that she doesn’t care what people say about her, but she is concerned when no one is talking about her.
“You know I am not one to care what guys are saying about me, my personal life or whatever. Whatever you want to say about me unakuanga free, sicatch. I don’t really have any issues. In fact saa zile hamniongelelei nakuanga a bit concerned,” Nyamu said.
The mother of two insisted that no one had hit her and certainly, there was no black eye and people should stop speculating and creating issues where there were none.
