Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has refuted a viral social media post claiming President William Ruto appointed him to a diplomatic mission in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Kalonzo labeled the post as "absolutely fake news," attributing it to political opponents aiming to tarnish his reputation.

• The fake post, circulating since Wednesday, August 6, alleged Kalonzo Musyoka was part of an African Union delegation for peace dialogue ahead of Côte d'Ivoire's elections.
• The deceptive post included a forged signature falsely attributed to the African Union Commission Chairperson, Mahamoud Youssouf.
• Kalonzo Musyoka affirmed his commitment to Kenyans, stating, "I will always stand with the people of Kenya. I will not dialogue with those who abduct young Kenyans."
