Ni mwongo! Kotex distances itself from Karen Nyamu’s fake partnership

Senator Karen Nyamu claimed that talks about a potential partnership were still in progress, but Kotex Kenya refuted her claims.

The business stated on a widely shared Facebook post that there had been no conversations between the two parties.

Their statement was released just hours after Nyamu claimed that her foundation met with Kotex Kenya several times in an attempt to strike a favorable agreement to provide free tampons to schools located in impoverished areas.

The politician continued by saying that she would be imparting tampon usage knowledge to girls in Nairobi who show an interest in doing so.

“Kotex hereby confirms that no discussions or conversations have taken place with Karen Nyamu. Any assertions regarding a prospective partnership involving Kotex are entirely false. Our commitment remains steadfast in championing women’s progress for all Kenyans.

“We emphasise that Kotex does not engage in any political affiliations or endorsements. We maintain our dedication to transparency and accuracy in all communications,” the statement read.

Nyamu responds after Kotex labels her claims fake

Nyamu was quick to respond to Kotex’s clarification. In an Instagram story, she accused the company of caving to threats and insisted that discussions had indeed taken place.

“Kotex Kenya don’t be chickens. A few threatening comments here and there and hours later you post this lol. So what exactly is fake? You had Enos and Cindy in your offices this week and we’re just waiting for communication on the best discounts you will give us,” she wrote.

Nyamu further asserted that the comments on her post reflected misconceptions about tampons, viewing the situation as an opportunity to demystify tampons and expand Kotex’s market.
