Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu's claim on Sunday, June 30, that she had partnered with Kotex to distribute tampons to schoolgirls has been disowned by the company.
On her Twitter, she stated, "Karenzo Nyamu, shawry of tu bullets. Na juu ya hiyo story, my foundation has had a series of meetings with Kotex Kenya to negotiate a good deal so that we can supply free tampons in schools, particularly in our slums. I'm so excited."
However, Kotex took to social media to refute this claim, using a screenshot of her statement labeled 'Fake.'
"Kotex hereby confirms that no discussions or conversations have taken place with Karen Nyamu. Any assertions regarding a prospective partnership involving Kotex are entirely false.
Our commitment remains steadfast in championing women's progress for all Kenyans. We emphasize that Kotex does not engage in any political affiliations or endorsements. We maintain our dedication to transparency and accuracy in all communications."
This statement from Kotex comes a week after the politician engaged netizens in a debate about her views on taxing sanitary towels. A proposed eco-levy in the Finance Bill would have increased the cost of pads.
Nyamu responded to a Kenyan who sought her opinion, indicating that she uses tampons.
"Umesema you do not care about pads prices juu unatumia tampons? ????" wrote one concerned Kenyan.
Karen reacted on her Instagram, commenting, "....@wanjikustephens hehehe does it mean if you use pads you don't care about tampons? I use tampons, yes! And that triggers some people."
