Governor of Machakos Alfred Mutua has apologized for tweeting about the death of Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s wife on Facebook.
“I wish to apologise for the earlier post about the family of H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka. This was a result of misinformation and a hoax from several players, some, seemingly credible and close to H.E. Kalonzo, who made it seem like a message to me about the family. People can be evil. My sincere apologies for any anxiety caused. Happily, all is well. God bless you.” he tweeted.
Pauline Musyoka, the former Vice President’s wife is confirmed to be recovering after a protracted illness.
Paloma Gatabaki, Kalonzo Musyoka’s communications director, said it was unfortunate that false information regarding Pauline Musyoka’s health was being spread on social media by a politician.
“It [is] even more unfortunate when senior politicians post messages of condolence on their official social media pages without verification of the source. For one with a purported media background, this lapse in judgement is incredibly thoughtless.” she is quoted.
In an interview, Kalonzo Musyoka lifted the lid on his wife’s health.
Kalonzo said his wife is recuperating in the hospital.
“Mama is stable and we thank God. We continue to pray for a miracle,” Kalonzo said in an interview with Citizen TV.
