Karen Nyamu – “Gen Z ni mafala!”.

“Gen Z ni mafala!” This statement was made by nominated Senator Karen Nyamu, just two months after she publicly apologised to the youth during a parliamentary session.
In a viral video, Karen Nyamu, a mother of 3, can be heard criticising Gen Z for having mismatched priorities and being unable to focus on anything important.
Ms. Nyamu expressed her disbelief at why the youth are so concerned about her life and labelled her as “arrogant.”
She noted that even if she miraculously changed and became more agreeable, it wouldn’t improve the quality of their lives in any way.
“Gen z wakwende! Gen z ni mafala sana! You go to the streets and get the attention of the whole country, from the President to multiple media houses and what not. Like wamewatambua, hats off enyewe you’re on top.
But when given a platform, you only complain about, ‘Oh Karen Nyamu is arrogant or oh Murkomen this and that.’ How does that improve your lives?” the nominated senator harshly stated while recording herself.
“When called to the table with and express audience with the president instead of addressing how your lives could be improved, all you could say is that I’m arrogant. Even if I stopped being arrogant, how’d that change or improve your life? You should’ve told the President how he can improve the lives of young people, provide affordable training,” the mother of 3 argued yet again questioning how mentioning her or fellow politician Murkomen benefited the youth.
Wrapping up her rant, she urged gen z’s to pay mind to things that benefit them instead of being engrossed in nonissues.
“Focus on what will benefit you. Complaining about me or any other leader doesn’t help your situation,”
