Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua censured Gaucho during the event saying his remarks were gender-based.
"Iko kijana yangu moja aliongea hapa na nimemwambia nitamkosoa kidogo. Ata ikiwa ni mtu ametukosea, awe mama au baba tusimwingilie kimaumbile, tuingilie vitendo vyake. Please stop yourself from issuing any criticism or insult that is gender-based," Karua stated.
