In a video shared on Facebook, Kalembe said he was healthy, full of life, and urged Kenyans to ignore the rumours.

He dismissed claims that he has been ailing and admitted at the Nairobi Hospital.

Kalembe condemned the rumours, adding that he did not know what the propagators of the news aimed at, by claiming he is dead.

"To those spreading rumors that I was sick and admitted at Nairobi hospital, I don't know Kenyatta hospital and that I died, those praying bad things to happen to me should know that God is the giver of life," he said.

"I'm very much okay and healthy, those spreading fake news should stop taking the position of God," he added.

Kalembe issued the statement after an online publication claimed he had succumbed to an illness at a Nairobi hospital.

The fake claim elicited a lot of reactions online, forcing Kalembe to come out and issue a statement.
