Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu is currently under fire from netizens after she posted a video on her Instagram stories, instructing her driver to ignore traffic laws and drive on the wrong side of the road. The video captured the driver narrowly avoiding collisions with motorcyclists while Nyamu dismissively refers to them as crazy. As the pair passed a traffic police officer, Karen Nyamu justified their actions, stating that the officer must understand the urgency of her parliamentary attendance.
To add salt to injury, the self-dubbed ‘bebe ya Kanairo’ is heard telling her driver, “ukiiba, lazima uibe na confidence, (when you steal, do so confidently.”

The netizen cautioned the Nominated Senator against letting power influence her behavior.
“We root for you always but that was wrong Mhesh. First of all that’s how easily it is to cause an accident. Secondly, if it was urgent you would have left early. Mhesh, even Doctors rushing to perform an emergency CS operation don’t behave like that. Sio poa, don’t let power consume you “
