Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu took the floor of the Kenyan Senate on Monday, September 29, and dropped a suggestion that quickly caught public attention: that musicians, athletes, and other creatives should be given nominated seats in parliament to advocate for their industries.

Speaking during a debate on how nominations are conducted, Nyamu argued that the current system fails to bring in voices from sectors that are routinely left out of legislative conversations.
