Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu is set to appear before United Democratic Alliance (UDA)’s Disciplinary Committee on Friday over her alleged misconduct while at a party in December last year.
The committee chaired by Charles Njenga had summoned Karen Nyamu in December to appear before the panel in January, saying that the incident captured in a viral video in Dubai had brought shame to the ruling party and injured its reputation.
“In the said incident which is well captured on video that has been widely circulated in both mainstream and social media, your conduct and mannerism as exhibited in that incident have brought shame, disrepute and lowered the dignity of the party which nominated you to the office of Senator,” he wrote in a letter dated December 19, 2022.
After appearing before the committee last month, the President William Ruto-led outfit resolved to grant the lawmaker more time to respond to the allegations levelled against her.
“The senator was allowed more time to respond to the allegations levelled against her by a party member. The committee adjourned the matter to 9.00 am on 24th February,” UDA stated on January 20, 2022.
Nyamu was captured in a video that circulated across social media platforms for the better part of the Christmas period while engaging in a scuffle with Mugithi Singer Samuel Muchoki (Samidoh) and his wife Edith Nderitu.
She later owned up to her mistake, saying she had broken up with Samidoh, who is the father of her two children and that she had quit alcohol in 2023.
