Karen Nyamu has called out comedian Jasper Muthomi alias MC Jessy over his decision to dump DP William Ruto.
MC Jessy announced that he will vie for the South Imenti MP seat in the August 9th general elections as an Independent Candidate.
The comedian on Monday assured his supporters that he is still in the race following reports that he had stepped out.
“Sent like an arrow from a mighty man’s hand. We keep going….. Bado Tuko kwa race. Let’s do this South Imenti, August 9 it is,” he wrote.

MC Jessy’s statement comes days after he announced dropping out of the race in favour of Mwiti Kathaara.
After a meeting with deputy president William Ruto on Wednesday April 13th, Jessy resolved not to go for the seat and instead assumed a role in the Kenya Kwanza presidential campaign secretariat.
“MC Jessy (Jasper Muthomi) will join the presidential campaign team after postponing his parliamentary bid in favour of Mwiti Kathaara for the South Imenti Seat,” Ruto tweeted.
However, Jessy made a quick U-turn and decided to vie for South Imenti MP seat as an Independent Candidate.
Jessy’s move attracted condemnation from Karen Nyamu who shelved her ambition to vie in Nairobi Senatorial race in favor of Margaret Wanjiru.
Karen Nyamu said Jessy’s move to vie as an Independent Candidate would split votes in South Imenti and possibly denied UDA candidate a win.
She said Jessy would have negotiated for a better deal with Ruto instead of vying as an Independent Candidate.
“MC Jessy my good friend sasa mbona umekubali mbogi ya mtupe nimsanye wakuingize? Afathali ungekaa ngumu pale kwa negotiation table instead of striking a deal than reneging on the same. As always I wish you all the best and respect your latest resolve,” wrote Karen Nyamu.
