A member of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party's National Youth Congress has written to the party's leader, President William Ruto, for the immediate expulsion of nominated Senator Karen Nyamu from the Senate.
In a letter dated December 18, Jephnel Nyakwama Orina asked President Ruto to expel Nyamu over her recent conduct in the public.
In the letter, Orina said that as members of the National Youth Congress, they were embarrassed and disappointed over the nominated senator's conduct.
“As members of the National Youth Congress we are deeply disappointed and embarrassed by the conduct of the Senator who appears intoxicated and disorderly in what appears to be a nightclub," read part of the letter signed by Orina.
He added that Nyamu's conduct contravened the party's constitution and that her actions tainted the reputation of the party and its leader.

"The conduct of the Senator in our view is in contravention of Article 75(1) of the Constitution of Kenya and the UDA constitution. Her actions have brought ridicule and greatly tainted the name and reputation of the Party leader and the party," Orina stated.
The letter comes after Nyamu was involved in a scuffle with Mugithi singer Samido at a Dubai club on Friday, December 16, an incident that went viral.
The lawmaker, however, attributed the happenings to abuse of alcohol, saying she would quit drinking as one of her resolutions in 2023.
"I have woken up and found I have been tagged everywhere. I am going to change in 2023. Alcohol is not good. If love would lead to me causing drama, please pray for me," she said.
