Kenyans could not sympathize with Machakos governor Alfred Mutua when he was nearly drowned by a weak bridge in Kisii county.
Luckily he was rescue together with his host deputy governor of Kisii and they were declared safe upon being rushed to the hospital.
The information spread on internet that he downed while he was taking a selfie, a statement he has replied with a court sue.
I have written a statement with the CID at Ogembo Police Station so that Standard Journalist Geoffrey Mosoku may be charged with spreading fake news and cyber bulling for lying that I had fallen into River Gucha and that I was taking a selfie.

I urge editors & internet site managers to verify the truth & to pull down the false Gucha river incident info they are reporting and to correct it with the truth. The OB number of my statement that will be used to charge ALL who publish & retain online lies is: 34 of 18/5/18.

BREAKING: Governor Alfred Mutua (Machakos) & Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi rushed to hospital after being rescued from drowning.
The two were taking a selfie in Ogembo when the incident occurred.

This is bridge that links Machakos town to the Kitui – Machakos road, it has developed a wide rift just a year after it was done.
Another shoddy work by Spin Master Dr. Alfred Mutua.

Alfred Mutua should have fallen off that roof in Machakos he was pretending to build. The bridge in Ogembo was a warning. The gods have had enough of the PR!
