On Saturday, the media was awash with claims that IEBC Siaya county returning officer Ruth Kulundu had been murdered and her body dumped in a farm in Sega.
However, in a rather bizarre twist to the story, Kulundu has spoken dismissing the rumors claiming that she was murdered.
" Let all people know that I am alive and kicking," said Kulundu when she spoke with The Star.
Mrs Kulundu said she was shocked by the report.
"I learned of this information at around 4 pm after attending Msando's burial. My friends from all over were calling to find out whether am fine.When I asked to know what was happening I was sent a link purporting that I have died," Kulundu said.
"I am so shocked and I am yet to come to terms with such false reports on my life," she added.
She has since reported the matter to police to establish the source of the news
The Independent Electoral Commission also dismissed the story of Kulundu's death as a hoax, saying she is alive and well.
IEBC officers security team has been beefed up since the untimely death of the ICT manager Chris Msando.
