‘MAFALA SANA’ SENATOR KAREN NYAMU SLAMS GEN ZS

Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has sparked controversy with her recent remarks targeting Kenya’s Generation Z, whom she labeled as ‘foolish.’

In a now-viral video, Nyamu criticised Gen Zs for their response to the government. “Gen Zs ni mafala sana (Gen Zs are so foolish),” Nyamu said. “You get the attention of the whole country, from the President to the media, and when you’re given a platform to speak, you only complain about me being arrogant or talk about Murkomen. How does that improve your lives?”

Nyamu expressed disappointment that instead of discussing pressing issues like job creation and training opportunities, Gen Zs chose to focus on criticising her. “You were called to the table, and the President gave you the space to speak. Instead of addressing how your lives could be improved, all you could say was that Karen Nyamu is arrogant. Even if I stopped being arrogant, how would that change anything for you?” she added.

The senator urged young people to focus on self-improvement and to use such opportunities to address real issues that could lead to positive change. “You should have told the President how he can create jobs for you or provide training. Focus on what will benefit you. Complaining about me or any other leader doesn’t help your situation,” Nyamu advised.
