Published on November 14, 2019, a Facebook account bearing the name of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has been spreading a disturbing message that has left many Kenyans shocked.

The account, which has been identified as fake, claims that the country's greed has led to a situation where everyone is going to die of cancer sooner or later.

According to the post, this is due to the contaminated foods Kenyans are consuming without knowing, and that there is no need of having any long-term plans for Kenya.

"We are all dying. It's no longer a question of who has cancer, it's now a question of who does NOT have cancer yet. There's nothing you consume today that isn't contaminated. We are paying for being stupid and greedy, we are paying for choosing material wealth over our health," the post reads.

However, in a swift response, Governor Waiguru posted a screenshot of the said account with the word 'fake' prominently stamped across it, disowning any connection to the account.
