Control Your Women- Gachagua To Samidoh After Karen Nyamu Drama

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has advised Mugithi singer Samuel Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh, to clean up his family affairs after the messy squabbles involved him, his wife Edday Nderitu and nominated Senator, Karen Nyamu.

Speaking on Monday, January 23, during the burial of Trade CS Moses Kuria’s sister Pauline Nyokabi in Gatundu South Kiambu County, Gachagua urged Samidoh not to embarrass the country during his world tours as a musician.

He added that he would have a discussion with him to determine how he would avoid getting caught up in embarrassing moments especially captured in viral videos on social media, as was the case involving him and Nyamu in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

"Now you, Samidoh, you are my friend and you know how much we love you, don't we love him and his songs? But there is somewhere you are letting us down.

"Control your people...what you do, Samidoh, you are my friend and I'll sit down with you because we don't want foreigners to know about our matters here...when you go abroad they understand us and we don't want our matters to start emerging abroad," he stated.

Gachagua instructed Samidoh to address his personal matters, warning him of consequences for failure to do so.

"Sort out your issues and when you fail, because you are one of our police officers, we will discipline you. We will bar you from going abroad, or in case you go, you will go alone so that we are not embarrassed," he cautioned.

The clash between Nyamu, Nderitu and Samidoh on December 17, 2022, forced Nyamu to part ways with Samidoh. Edday, who was close to Samidoh, was alarmed, a matter that ignited verbal confrontations between Nyamu and Samidoh as captured in the video that went viral on social media.

Samidoh's wife tried evacuating Nyamu from the scene before security officers eventually whisk her away from the venue. However, the drama seemed to have been forgotten in another video that captured Nyamu dancing and performing on stage with Samidoh and Akorino singer Karangu Wa Muraya.

Samidoh was performing with other Mugiithi artists among them Joyce Wa Mama and DJ Dbul. He flew into Dubai with Edday for enjoyment with family and friends and it was by coincidence that Nyamu was also in Dubai.

After defending her actions by stating that she was under the influence of alcohol and promising to quit drinking in 2023, she penned a statement shared on her Instagram stories, promising to never again repeat her actions since she is a member of a top government arm.

Nyamu was consequently summoned by the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party's disciplinary committee, which ordered her to appear on Tuesday, January 24 after she was allowed more time to respond to the allegations levelled against her by a party member.
