The least active youth senators are nominated Senators Karen Nyamu, Hezena Lamaletian, and Chimera Mwinzago.

According to Mzalendo Trust's research, the three senators spoke less than 27 times during the 13th Parliament.

Mwinzago and Naymu of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party each spoke 23 and 17 times.

While Hezena, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate, only spoke 21 times.

The 2023 Parliamentary Scorecard covers the period between September 29, 2022, to June 30, 2023.

Senator Nyamu has been making headlines for the past one year in relation to  Mugithi artiste, Samidoh.

Early this year, she even appeared before the UDA disciplinary committee to respond to allegations against her.

Charges against the senator revolve around her 'shameful' conduct on December 16, 2022 

The lawmaker caused drama at Mugithi artiste Samidoh's concert in Dubai leading to a clash with his wife Edday Nderitu.

In a video clip that went viral online, Nyamu was seen being restrained by the event's security detail during the concert.

A separate clip showed Nyamu dancing on stage as Samidoh and Akorino singer Karangu Muraya entertained revelers moments before she was whisked away after an altercation.

The senator later blamed her actions on alcohol, a habit she vowed to quit come January this year.

A section of Kenyans called for her expulsion from the party saying she had breached Chapter Six of the Constitution on Leadership and Integrity.
