Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has blamed the devil for her recent controversial remarks in Parliament concerning a Grade 10 student who was visiting the Senate gallery, asking Kenyans to understand her mistake.
Speaking during a public gathering in Kamukunji, she said, "The other day, you know there was a kind of blunder you saw in Parliament. Sometimes a person gets confused, maybe it is the devil or something like that. You know I am one of you and you have known me for many years.”
“As you know me, I can speak about a small child like that and I also have a young child. These are things we cannot explain, I do not know and I did not mean it the way it is being said. When we make a blunder, we move on. I have no ill intention towards anyone’s child and God knows," Nyamu added.
The remarks come days after the nominated senator was forced to apologise over comments she made while welcoming a student participating in the Senate’s school volunteer service programme.
