Kasarani Member of Parliament Ronald Karauri has firmly rejected online allegations linking him to a controversial video, describing the claims as fabricated and politically driven.
The legislator spoke out amid growing social media speculation, directly addressing a prominent blogger who has been associated with the circulating claims. Karauri challenged the blogger to produce the alleged footage, maintaining that no such material exists and insisting he has nothing to hide.
“I usually don’t address such topics, but I must speak on this. I am extremely straight; I’m the straightest person you will ever meet. If I’m going to have any issues, it is going to be with women. Women are the root of all problems in my life,” Karauri said.
He suggested that the timing of the allegations was not coincidental, pointing to the country’s increasingly charged political atmosphere as the election season approaches.
“It is political season, and maybe people have an agenda they want to push. Don’t be scared, if it is about politics, we shall meet in the ring. The story is totally fabricated; I don’t know what agenda the blogger wants to push,” he added.
Karauri dismissed suggestions that he was anxious about the potential release of compromising footage, reiterating that the alleged video does not exist. In a bold move, he issued a public financial challenge tied to the claims.
“I will give you money to share the videos. I’m giving you up to today, 5 pm. I have Sh5 million for you. I know that video does not exist,” he said.
He further outlined a broader pledge involving Sh10 million. According to the MP, if the alleged video is not produced by the stated deadline, Sh8 million will be directed to his foundation to support children, while Sh2 million will fund an upcoming boxing match.
Of the Sh2 million set aside for the sporting event, Sh1 million will go toward facilitating attendance for Kasarani residents, and Sh1 million will be offered as prize money.
The remarks have since sparked debate online, with supporters praising the MP’s defiance and critics questioning the necessity of engaging publicly with the claims. As the deadline approaches, attention remains fixed on whether any evidence will be presented or whether the controversy will further underscore the increasingly combative tone of the political season.
