Former Kakamega Governor has addressed the viral photo circulating on social media platforms.
In a video posted on Facebook, Oparanya said the photos are genuine, but wondered why someone chose to circulate them.
“I have seen someone circulating genuine photos… those are genuine photos… I don’t know why someone would waste time circulating them. It is very unfortunate that wherever I took those photos they leaked them to the press. Those are very decent photos and I don’t know the interest that people have when you have taken photos with a loved one,” he said.
He added that he was struggling to understand the interest people have in relation to the photo, saying they are decent.
At the same time, he refuted claims that he had been hospitalised. Oparanya said he has a family that needs his protection, stating that any fake news is hurting them.
“…And there is now fake news I am in hospital I am sick and here I am. I have a big family to protect. Those sending out fake news should stop,” he said.
