Kasarani Member of Parliament and SportPesa Chief Executive Officer, Ronald Karauri, is at the center of controversy after reports surfaced alleging that he is cheating on his wife Ruth Karauri with Tanzanian actress and brand influencer Nana Dollz.
Videos of Nana playfully referring to Karauri as her husband have leaked online, with sources claiming she even frequents his matrimonial home whenever his wife is away.
Known for her curvaceous figure and strong social media presence, Nana has been linked to several high-profile personalities in the entertainment and corporate sectors.
Nevertheless, Ruth Karauri, an engineer by profession, had not responded to reports of Nana snatching her husband by the time of going to the press.
Weeks ago during an interview, she recalled meeting her husband in flying school, vividly remembering him dressed in cream trousers and a blue shirt.
Her first impression of him was that he was a gentleman, as he had walked ahead of her and held the door open until she reached it.
That gesture remained memorable to her, though she admitted she was unsure if it indicated she had never met a gentleman before. At just 19, fresh out of high school, she believed it would not have taken much to impress her.
As he stood holding the door ajar, she had wondered what he was waiting for, as that was the only detail she could clearly recall from their initial encounters.
They had also discussed his decision to run for MP, recognizing that his election would significantly alter their family dynamics.
While the alleged affair has sparked heated debates, Karauri is also facing mounting pressure from his constituents over issues of bad governance, corruption, and deteriorating infrastructure in Kasarani.
Frustrated residents accuse the MP of neglecting his duties while focusing on personal interests, including his high-profile corporate engagements and alleged affairs.
For months, Kasarani residents have voiced their dissatisfaction with the state of their roads, which remain in a deplorable condition despite repeated promises from Karauri.
Major roads in Mwiki, Clay City, and Ruai are nearly impassable, causing daily frustrations for motorists and pedestrians alike.
Residents claim that despite budget allocations for road repairs, little has been done to improve infrastructure in the constituency.
Beyond the failing roads, Karauri’s leadership has been marred by allegations of corruption and mismanagement of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) resources.
Community projects meant to benefit schools, hospitals, and small businesses have stalled, with accusations that funds meant for these initiatives have been misappropriated.
Angry voters are now demanding transparency and accountability from the MP, with some calling for an audit of his tenure. Political analysts warn that if Karauri does not address these grievances, his political future could be in jeopardy.
As these scandals continue to unfold, the big question remains: Will Karauri step up and address these concerns, or will he let his legacy be defined by controversy and broken promises?
