On August 5, 2019, Karen Nyamu, a lawyer and Director at Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company, was seen enjoying herself at the annual Koth Biro football tournament finals at Umeme Grounds in Ziwani.
Wearing a casual outfit of a pink hoodie, black pants, and sunglasses, Nyamu was pictured puffing a blunt and passing it on to others.
She later shared the photos on social media, captioning them 'Mbogi yangu ya power'.

Despite facing criticism for her actions, Nyamu defended herself by asking why people were not acknowledging her sponsorship of the tournament.
She tweeted, 'Why don’t you also say that I sponsored cash awards in the individual category in the same tournament.'
