I Only Consult God!! Karen Nyamu Says After Kotex’s Backlash
Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has emphasized her passion for engaging with people at the grassroots level. She responded to the intense criticism she faced after Kotex disassociated from her.
Nyamu had previously claimed that she and the brand were collaborating to provide tampons to marginalized girls. The company refuted her claims, calling the information false. Nyamu now states she relies solely on divine guidance.
“Nothing excites me and ignites my spirit like connecting with people on the ground to make a difference. If I had listened to my critics and naysayers years ago, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I only consult God’s word, period,” she said.
On Sunday, the senator’s post about a purported partnership was flagged as false by the company. Kotex stated that it does not engage in political affiliations or endorsements.
“Kotex hereby confirms that no discussions have taken place with Karen Nyamu. Any claims of a potential partnership involving Kotex are completely untrue.
“We emphasize that Kotex does not engage in any political affiliations or endorsements,” said Kotex Kenya.
Nyamu apologized to Kotex, clarifying that her intent was not to mislead them.
She explained that the company’s statement was prompted by the negative feedback it received due to her political stance.

“As for Kotex Kenya, I regret the backlash you faced yesterday due to my political position amidst the heightened political climate in the country, forcing you to release the statement you did. Our goal is not to create problems for you, so we will let the matter rest,” the senator said.
Nyamu also noted that while people may not agree with her political views, they should at least recognize the positive work she is doing to introduce young girls to alternative feminine hygiene products.
She asserted that despite this setback, she will continue working with her foundation to ensure the project’s success.
“You’ve seen us undertake initiatives that benefit society. You’ve seen me announce successful projects. Sometimes, companies forget that political figures are also individuals, and what we do for the community is larger than ourselves.
“My foundation and I will diligently work to ensure this project comes to fruition.”
