Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner Roselyn Akombe has reacted to fake news that she was allegedly found dead in her house in the United States of America.
On Monday, social media was awash with fake news that Akombe had allegedly been strangled in her house.
However, Akombe, dismissed the allegations noting that she is alive and kicking.
Reacting to the allegations, Akombe urged bloggers to always confirm claims before proceeding to share them online.
"HELLO my fellow Kenyans. Lets be honest with what we do. Those bloggers spreading rumors of malice about my demise I forgive you. Stop that behavior and look for other ways of making money. Before you share anything on social media, check for its authenticity and the origin. Don't contaminate social media with malice!" she said.
Responding to a netizen who was concerned about her whereabouts, Akombe noted that she was chairing a meeting, and thus unable to respond to the allegations immediately they surfaced.
Thank you Leon. I was chairing a meeting, unaware of my demise, thus the delay in responding to your calls. And those of many others I have been unable to respond to personally. Thank you for the love," she posted.
