Nominated senator Karen Nyamu has pledged to adopt a more modest public style following her coronation as an Agikuyu Nyakinyua elder, a role that demands discipline and moral leadership.

• Karen Nyamu announced, "No more booty shorts… pale TikTok hutanipata nikifanya mambo mingi. Nitakuwa na heshima mbele ya watu."
• The cultural honour was bestowed upon her by the Nyakinyua women’s group at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre.
• Her transformation has sparked mixed reactions online, with some questioning its authenticity and others expressing support for the adherence to tradition.
