Kotex, an international menstrual hygiene products manufacturer, has distanced itself from allegations of a possible partnership with Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu (pictured).

 The company said that the allegations by the senator to supply free tampons in schools were false.

 On Sunday, the controversial senator said that her foundation, Karen Nyamu Foundation, held a “series of meetings” with Kotex Kenya that would see schools in slum areas receive free tampons.

 In a post on social media, Kotex used a screenshot of the senator’s allegations branding it as fake.

 “Kotex hereby confirms that no discussions or conversations have taken place with Karen Nyamu. Any assertions regarding a prospective partnership involving Kotex are false,” read part of the statement.

 The company also said that they do not engage in nor have any political affiliations or endorsements.

 “We maintain our dedication to transparency and accuracy in all communications and our commitment remains steadfast in championing women’s progress for all Kenyans, “ Kotex further noted.

 In a quick rejoinder, the senator claimed that Kotex has been forced to disassociate with her foundation due to her political stand and the current hot political temperatures in the country.

 Nyamu has been on the receiving end of social media users after she supported the eco-levy taxation that was to be imposed on imported sanitary pads, pointing out that she uses tampons.

 The recent statement by Kotex has only added fuel to the fire with Kenyans shaming her for spreading lies. They have also called out foundations by politicians for being conduits of corruption and money laundering.
