A video shared by Mary Muthoni on her TikTok account on Sunday, March 8, has sparked concern among Kenyans about her well-being.
In the video, PS Muthoni recorded herself up close while singing along to gospel music. Observers immediately noticed her teary eyes, prompting speculation that she might have been crying while recording the clip.
“Health PS Mary Muthoni has posted a video of herself crying on TikTok. We hope she is alright,” one user, Mwangi, commented.
Some viewers focused on the lyrics of the gospel song, which spoke of witnessing the glory of a supreme being. They wondered whether PS Muthoni was expressing gratitude after surviving a road accident in Kisumu. The incident allegedly involved a motorcade belonging to Aden Duale and multiple cars.
“Why is she appearing to be crying? Is the Health PS okay after yesterday’s accident?” asked Dan Chepta.
Seasoned journalist Saddique Shaban suggested that the video might have been a cry for help, though he also considered the possibility that it was an innocent post.
Other Kenyans speculated that PS Muthoni could be fatigued after attending a thanksgiving ceremony for Ouma Oluga. Some commenters went further, claiming her job may have taken a toll and urging her to consider resigning for her health.
PS Muthoni has not responded to any comments on TikTok or other social media platforms.
Despite concerns online, she appeared in high spirits during public events later that day. She attended International Women’s Day celebrations and the Women in PR Dinner Awards, engaging with attendees and participating in discussions.
The TikTok video has continued circulating online, with Kenyans debating its context and PS Muthoni’s current state.
Authorities have not issued any statements regarding her health or the video.
Observers say the incident highlights how public figures’ social media activity can draw widespread attention and speculation, particularly when personal emotions are displayed online.
PS Muthoni’s video demonstrates the intersection of public service pressures, social media visibility, and citizen concern, sparking conversations about mental health and the well-being of government officials.
