Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu addressed an endometriosis awareness event at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) this weekend. The event, organized by media personality Natalie Githinji, attracted thousands of attendees who gathered for discussions, awareness, and advocacy surrounding endometriosis, along with performances and entertainment.
However, the atmosphere changed when sections of the audience began chanting "Wantam" during Nyamu's speech. This interruption made it challenging for her to convey her message without disruptions. Despite the hostile reception, Nyamu persisted in addressing the gathering and shared her endeavors to promote endometriosis through Parliament.
She firmly declared, "Mimi ndio nawapigania bungeni," expressing her dissatisfaction towards the hecklers in the crowd. Upon reflection, Nyamu acknowledged that she had anticipated backlash due to activist Eric Omondi's association with the event and his public criticism of the government. Nevertheless, she decided to attend the event since she was determined to discuss endometriosis and persist in advocating for the issue in Parliament.
Moreover, Nyamu revealed that she had grown accustomed to receiving similar criticism on social media platforms.
