President William Ruto has denied the allegations that 200 people were killed in Githurai during the anti-Finance Bill protests.
Speaking on X Space on Friday, the President termed it as a serious issue and advised against spreading information that had not been verified.
"We are dealing with a very serious issue, please let us not use information that is not verified, it helps to create a situation that is not correct," the President said.
He maintained that no such an occurrence had happened in Githurai, and called on those with evidence to come forward and present it.
He was responding to concerns raised by a Kenyan on the space on the reports that 200 people had died on what was alleged as a 'night of terror' in Githurai.
"I want to offer you to bring the names and family members of the people who are saying their loved ones are not there, don't even take them anywhere, bring them to State House," the President said.
"The family members who are saying I have lost so and so, a member of my family was there on Monday last week, he went to maandamano and he didn't come back and where possibly are the bodies," Ruto said.
A verification from media sources managed to authenticate several videos posted by six different online users and from different locations around the area.
According to the BBC, the story of an alleged massacre of civilians in Githurai quickly took hold on social media, where some people claimed more than 200 had been killed.
But a BBC investigation found no evidence of mass killings in Githurai - raising questions about how readily misinformation can spread amid a crisis.
