Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has amused her followers with a playful remark after she and the viral Heha Movers comedy group boarded the same flight to Dubai.
The exchange started after Heha Movers shared a light-hearted post announcing their journey with Nyamu. “On our way to Dubai with Caren Nyamu Delivery lazima ifike!” the group wrote, using the delivery-themed humour that has become part of their online identity.
Nyamu responded with a cheeky Sheng remark: “Wasee mnaona nikirudi kweli? Nishaingiza jeve.” In this context, “nishaingiza jeve” means “I’m afraid”, giving her response a humorous tone rather than suggesting that she had caused trouble.
Her question, “Wasee mnaona nikirudi kweli?”, which translates to “Guys, do you think I’ll really come back?”, was clearly delivered in a joking manner. The senator appeared to be playing along with the comedians as they began their Dubai adventure.
Heha Movers are a Kenyan comedy outfit that rose to prominence through social-media content built around the idea of a moving and delivery company. Their sketches rely heavily on satire, exaggerated business language and everyday Kenyan humour.
The group has developed a strong online following and has increasingly attracted commercial opportunities and collaborations. Their unusual presentation of ordinary situations as professional moving assignments has become a recognisable part of their brand.
Nyamu’s interaction with the comedians added a political figure’s playful voice to their latest adventure, with her short response quickly drawing attention online. Rather than making a serious statement about her travel plans, she appeared to be joking about the possibility of returning from Dubai.
The exchange has since provided social-media users with an entertaining travel moment, with Heha Movers announcing the trip and Nyamu responding with her memorable question: “Wasee mnaona nikirudi?”
