Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has responded after sanitary products maker Kotex Kenya denounced her claims that her team was in talks with the company for a prospective partnership.
Kotex, on Sunday, June 30, clarified that no discussions or conversation had taken place with Senator Nyamu, terming the politician’s claims as false.
“Any assertions regarding a prospective partnership involving Kotex are entirely false. Our commitment remains steadfast in championing women’s progress for all Kenyans,” the company said. “We emphasize that Kotex does not engage in any political affiliations or endorsements. We maintain our dedication to transparency and accuracy in all communications.”
But in a rejoinder, the politician says that her foundation has undertaken noble causes to help vulnerable girls in the country, and Kenyans ought not to concentrate on her political affiliations.
“You don’t have to agree with my political affiliation but you can appreciate this noble cause my foundation has taken up to expose our girls to alternative feminine hygiene products like tampons and period cups.”
While blowing her own trumpet, Senator Nyamu said that her foundation has been pledging to courses and “you have seen me on the ground delivering. You have also seen us take up causes that have benefited society. You have seen me announce projects that have been successful.”
“Sometimes companies forget political figures are also people and what we do to impact the community is bigger than ourselves. As for Kotex Kenya I feel sorry for the backlash you had to endure yesterday due to my political stand at a time when political temperatures in the country are hot, forcing you to make the statement you made. our aim is not to set you up so we will let it rest there,” Nyamu added.
She insisted that her foundation will diligently work to make sure the project comes to fruition.
“Nothing excites me and lights my soul like engaging the ground to make a difference. And to remind you that if I had listened to my critics, and trolls years ago, I wouldn’t be where I am. I only consult the word of God period
