Muite responded by confirming that he was healthy and not undergoing any treatment, despite Kenyans' online speculation that he was suffering from cancer.
The lawyer stated that due to his advanced age, he was forced to change his lifestyle, including his diet, and as a result, he has lost a significant amount of weight.
The lawyer denied reports that he was battling cancer, which arose after a photo of him went viral on social media.
Following his statement, his friends, including Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi, expressed their support for Muite. Ahmednasir noted his colleague's good health and chastised online users who spread malicious information.
Questions about Muite's health arose after Raila Odinga Presidential Secretariat spokesman and law professor Makau Mutua shared a photo of the two following a lunch meeting on June 6 this year.
