Nyamu had claimed that she and the brand were working together to provide tampons to marginalized girls. However, Kotex issued a statement labeling the information as false.
In response, Nyamu stated that she only seeks guidance from God. “Nothing excites me and lights my soul like engaging the ground to make a difference. If I had listened to my critics and trolls years ago, I wouldn’t be where I am. I only consult the word of God, period,” she said.
On Sunday, Nyamu’s social media post announcing the supposed partnership was flagged by Kotex as untrue. The company clarified that it does not engage in political affiliations or endorsements.
“Kotex hereby confirms that no discussions have taken place with Karen Nyamu. Any assertions regarding a prospective partnership involving Kotex are entirely false. We emphasize that Kotex does not engage in any political affiliations or endorsements,” Kotex Kenya stated.

Nyamu apologized to Kotex, acknowledging the backlash the company faced due to her political alignment. “As for Kotex Kenya, I feel sorry for the backlash you had to endure yesterday due to my political stand at a time when political temperatures in the country are hot, forcing you to make the statement you made. Our aim is not to set you up, so we will let it rest there,” she said.
Despite the controversy, Nyamu highlighted the importance of her work and insisted that people do not have to agree with her political views to appreciate the positive impact of her initiatives.
“You’ve seen us take up causes that benefited society. You’ve seen me announce projects that have been successful. Sometimes companies forget political figures are people too, and what we do to impact the community is bigger than ourselves. My foundation and I will diligently work to make sure this project comes to fruition,” she added.
Nyamu remains committed to her cause and plans to continue working with her foundation to ensure the success of the project, regardless of the setbacks.
