Former Nairobi Woman Representative aspirant Karen Nyamu has found herself at the centre of criticism on social media after she was photographed while smoking a substance alleged to be marijuana in public.
This was during the Koth Biro Tournament at Umeme Grounds in Ziwani, Nairobi.

In a tweet, the politician however questioned why the netizens were focusing on the smoking part and ignoring the fact that she had also sponsored the awards issued out during the tournament.
"Why don't you also say that I sponsored cash awards in the individual category in the same tournament," Nyamu tweeted.
