Last week, nominated Senator Karen Nyamu almost fought with Mugithi musician Samuel Muchoki alias Samidoh’s wife, Edday Nderitu.
This was after the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) senator interrupted Samidoh’s wrap-up performance in Dubai.
Videos doing rounds on social media captured Karem Nyamu walking straight to where Samidoh was seated and forcefully sitting on his lap.
Samidoh’s wife who was present at the event stood from where she was seated and went and grabbed her husband’s hand even as the security guards tried to separate the two women.
In yet another video, Nyamu had taken to the stage where Samidoh was performing and was forced down by security personnel.
The dramatic scenes elicited sharp reactions from a section of Kenyans with some faulting the UDA senator for forcing herself on someone’s husband.
However, in a statement on Sunday, December 18, Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale defended nominated senator Karen Nyamu asking trolls to give her a break.
Khalwale, who has happily embraced polygamy, called out Samidoh saying he was the one to blame for the fracas between his two women.
While terming Samidoh as a ‘young boy’ Khalwale said the Mugiithi singer was too young to not only have two women but to also manage them peacefully.
“I’m appealing to KOT (inflated as you are) to give Senator Karen Nyamu a break. Here is a young woman who loves her man but unfortunately the guy has no idea how to manage his wife. He ought to apologize for his ineptitude on matters of family. He is to blame. Polygamy is NOT for boys!” Khalwale said in a Tweet.
Khalwale’s comments come just hours after Citizen TV and self-proclaimed president of the polygamy association in Africa Stephen Letoo advised Samidoh to treat both wives equally.
“Samidoh must treat both wives equally. No wife should be undermined. If he goes with wife A (Edday) to Dubai let him take Wife B (Karen) to Maldives failure to which the consequences should be better imagined than felt,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
