Kasarani Member of Parliament Ronald Karauri has challenged blogger Edgar Obare to release any alleged incriminating material amid claims linking him to a relationship with another man.
In a video shared on February 11, Karauri denied claims that there is any compromising footage that exists, insisting that the allegations are baseless.
He accused the blogger of fabricating the story and hinted that the claims could be part of a political agenda or an attempt at extortion.
Karauri went further to publicly challenge Obare to publish the alleged video by 5 p.m., pledging Ksh10 million if the footage is produced.
He stated that should no video be released, Ksh8 million would be donated to his foundation to support children, while Ksh2 million would be allocated toward community initiatives and prize money related to an upcoming event in Kasarani.
“So, Edgar Obare, this fake story of yours, it’s totally fabricated and you know it. I don’t know what agenda you’re going to push. If it’s about extortion, money I have for you,” he said.
He maintained that he is not intimidated by the allegations and invited the blogger to present any evidence to the public.

Karauri became a trending topic earlier this week following an exposé by blogger Edgar Obare on Instagram. The post included screenshots from a man claiming to have been in a relationship with the Kasarani MP.
