Nairobi politician Karen Nyamu took to her social media accounts to give her two cents regarding the recent unveiling of Martha Karua as the Azimio One Kenya Coalition running mate, seemingly attacking her over what she alluded was a mistake over her lack of political might in the numbers. 

The legislator sarcastically opined that the Narc Kenya party leader's support in the country was not her strong suit, asking her to show her numbers if indeed she was the right fit for the position.

"Politics is a game of numbers, period. Martha Karua please show us your numbers. Thanks," she stated.

This sparked outrage from Kenyans who were of a different opinion, who believed that Karua's appointment as running mate was a historic moment, asking Nyamu to refrain from pointing the finger as she herself could not measure the kind of support that Karua has amassed since she began her stint in politics.

Many asked her to show her numbers as well, especially after her loss in the Nairobi senatorial primaries through the United Democratic Alliance party led by Deputy President William Ruto, and ridiculed her statement, pointing out that if she too was in the race for the running mate position, she still would not have been chosen. 

"You are questioning Martha yet you didn't even cut the niche to appear on Ruto's list as a possible running mate, those who appeared on the list are Anne and Alice who haven't gathered the courage to question or even congratulate her. My advice, she's above your league so keep off," one social media user stated.

"Stick to what you know best. Karua has morals, you can't share the same boardroom," Derby Mich stated.

"Integrity, loyalty, and competence are more valuable. You cannot understand such if your mind is fully occupied with numbers 'narrative' and being too much naive as well as being green in politics," another user identifying as Partel Msoh noted.

As if this would slow them down, other enraged Kenyans took digs at the legislator's scandal-ridden life, asking her to take a back seat and let those who had the capacity to engage in politics have their moment as she tries to salvage her reputation. 

Others implored her to be in solidarity with the women in Kenya who for the first time in 59 years since independence, have one of their own in top leadership, regardless of the political affiliation they belong to.
