What happened to Karen Nyamu at Kasarani Stadium?
Nyamu, Mwaura and Nakuru governor Susan Kihika's husband, Sam Mburu, were denied access to the presidential entrance.
The three arrived late after the president and were turned away when they tried to enter the stadium using the presidential entrance.
One video showed Nyamu and Mburu trying to engage the security officers manning the 'special' entrance, but they were redirected to use an alternative gate.
The video went viral with netizens wondering why the politicians came after the president and tried to force their way through the presidential entrance.
