Politician Karen Nyamu was on the radar of netizens on Wednesday after her comments during a UDA rally in Nairobi. 

At the presence of William Ruto, Karen said the DP is more energetic than his opponents. 

"Nimetumwa na warembo wote wa nchi hii, wanasema wale wanatupangia mzee pale kwa hoteli wawache madharau bana. Sisi tuko na chuma hapa, tunataka chuma ile imesimama...mnataka Chuma ya kusimamishwa kazi?” Karen Nyamu posed.

The speech from Karen Nyamu sparked reactions on social media. A section of Kenyans faulted Karen for using vulgar language in the campaign train. 

Karen has now responded to the outrage in a light comment. 

"Sasa “Empress wa ma chuma” ni jina ya kuita mtu surely. Wakili ni simba," Karen wrote. 

In the Kenyan sheng, Chuma has commonly been used to refer to male private parts.
