In a recent interview with NTV, Nyamu defended her relationship with Samidoh by stating that she is well within the bounds of the law.
She encouraged the interviewer to familiarize himself with polygamy laws, suggesting that she has not broken any legal statutes.
"Do you know the law well? Do you understand the laws? Go and look at the polygamy laws that have been passed in our parliament. So, the questions you are asking me seem to lack a strong foundation because I haven't violated any laws by being in the situation I am in," she explained.
Nyamu also had a message for the youth, urging them to emulate her in pursuing their goals relentlessly.
She emphasised the importance of living a truthful life and encouraged young people not to fear anyone while chasing their dreams, adding that those who go after what they want are often blessed.
In a previous statement, the nominated senator expressed her happiness that her children have a present father, while also hoping that Edday Nderitu, Samidoh's wife, enjoys the same happiness.
