  • Ezra Chiloba, the former head of Kenya’s Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, is in a critical condition with prostate cancer, claims an August 2019 blog post . In July three prominent Kenyans died of cancer . As Africa Check previously reported , the deaths revived media rumours about high numbers of government leaders reportedly being treated for cancer. The blog says Chiloba has been in and out of an induced coma at a Nairobi hospital. The article was shared on Facebook , with users wishing Chiloba a quick recovery . Some went further to claim he had died , posting RIP Ezrah Chilobe . ‘Ignore fake news’ But on 2 August Chiloba took to his official Twitter account to dismiss the story that he has cancer. He tweeted : Please ignore the FAKE NEWS doing rounds. Those spreading rumours are insensitive to the pain of those who suffer from cancer. I am well, and just yesterday, I clocked my fastest 10.5 kilometres run for which I am grateful. – Dancan Bwire (en)
