Screenshot

Kenyan Senator Karen Nyamu has sparked online reactions after a video appeared to show her scrolling through her phone and sucking her thumb during a Senate sitting on October 6. The footage has prompted criticism and debate over parliamentary decorum.

The incident has also revived attention to a similar moment involving Nyamu in 2024, when she was filmed sucking her thumb during a Senate session. However, reports indicate that it remains unclear what she was doing on her phone during the latest footage or whether the incident disrupted proceedings.
