On several occasions, Caroline Mutuko has denied owning this particular Twitter account, but Kenyans never care to listen, as was witnessed last week during the #SomeoneTellNigeria saga

It was also featured by several news websites reporting on the story, such as Aljazeera, and also given airtime on BBC world.
 
In reaction to this, here's what the real Caroline Mutoko wrote on Facebook last Friday.

   " Aha! I'm told you are actually still speaking to that nutcase who impersonates me on twitter.

    Kamal Kaur & most thinking beings can tell it's not me just based on the poor idiot's thought process.
Surely...me? Football? On which planet?

    I can just imagine how engaged you must be twitting away @ some lunatic thinking it's me. Now imagine for a moment the boner he has watching you chat with him non-stop, whereas in the real world he probably wouldn't get a second glance from a chokora. Hahahahahahaaaaaaa!

    I've told you enough times to un-follow that fool or just ignore him.
Hey, whatever turns you on. Just don't whine to me about it."

This update by Caroline Mutoko made the impersonator think twice and now that particular account now looks deactivated according to Caroline.
