Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa has disowned rumours that he is currently living it up in Rio after a picture of his ‘look-alike’ started doing the rounds on social media. In the photo the man is seen enjoying a drink while holding on to a Caucasian woman.

Statements like, “Kenya is well represented at Rio Hon Chris Wamalwa become the first Kenyan to strike Gold at the Rio Olympics ama hii ni medal gani?” accompanied the photo.

In his response, the MP has categorically denied that he is not the man in the photo.

“That’s photoshop propaganda, am not in Rio. Am in Kenya at parliament now,” he said when SDE reached out for comment.

According to Wamalwa, he is holed up in a parliamentary committee at this moment.
