NAIROBI, Kenya — Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has categorically denied social media claims that she was assaulted while commuting to work, describing the allegations as "fake". The assertion came in response to a viral video depicting unidentified individuals attacking passengers in a vehicle, which was interpreted as a potential road-rage incident.
Images of the video were circulated online, accompanied by assertions that the woman in the vehicle was Miano herself. On Monday, Miano rejected these claims, urging Kenyans to disregard the reports. "Fake news and rumours spread like bush fire. Please, just IGNORE and have a fruitful week!" she advised. Miano reiterated that she was unharmed and maintaining her regular duties.
"I am safe, fully functional, and working as usual," she declared. "My thoughts and prayers are with anyone who might have been affected by this—wishing them strength, peace, and a swift recovery."
