MISSING CONTEXT: This video isn’t of Francis Atwoli reprimanding Moses Wetang’ula in October 2024
The video was initially published in December 2021.
This video on X (formerly Twitter) showing Central Organization of Trade Unions, Kenya (COTU-K) Secretary General Francis Atwoli reprimanding National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula is MISSING CONTEXT.
“I will be there in Bungoma, I will be there in Kakamega, I will be there in Vihiga, I will be there in Busia, I am going to be there in Trans Nzoia, and there will be no escape route for one Moses Wetang’ula. There will be no escape route for Moses Masika Wetang’ula,” Atwoli says in the video.
The video is accompanied by text reading: “I am personally going to push out Wetangula out of speaker’s seat.”
The video was shared amidreports of Wetangula’s impending ouster.
To confirm the video’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio performed a Google reverse image searchon a screengrab from the clip and found a similar video posted in December 2021.
Further in the 2021 video, Atwoli, while beginning his address, refers to Wetang’ula as the Senator of Bungoma, a position he held from 2012 to 2022, which also proves the video is not from 2024.
A keyword search led Ghetto Radio to debunks by PesaCheck and Africa Check which also found that the video is not current.

FAKE: This statement purportedly by ambassadors and high commissioners on Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment is fabricated
Several embassies listed on the document have disowned it.
This statement shared onFacebook supposedly from ambassadors and high commissioners in Kenya banning Rigathi Gachagua from traveling abroad due to his impeachment is FAKE.
The statement claims that foreign nations represented by the ambassadors and high commissioners in the country have expressed concern that has led to Gachagua being declared persona non grata in the European Union (EU), United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The statement surfaced online after Gachagua was impeached as the deputy president, following a decision by the Senateto upload the National Assembly’s move to oust him.
To confirm the letter’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio checked social media platforms of the embassies listed on the document, but did not find the communication. Instead, we found posts disowning the document in question as outlined below.
The US Embassy in Kenya disowned the purported statement and flagged it fake on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.
The embassies of Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Belgium in Kenya also distanced themselves from the said statement.
Further, the European Union Ambassador to Kenya, Henriette Geiger, also flagged the statement.
Lastly, news of Gachagua being banned from visiting the said counties would have been prominently covered in the media, however, there’s no evidenceof any such ban.

FAKE: Nation Africa didn’t publish this card claiming Kalonzo Musyoka has been nominated as Interior Cabinet Secretary
Nation Africa and Kalonzo Musyoka have disowned the card.
Thisdigital card purportedly from Nation Africa claiming Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has been nominated as the Interior Cabinet Secretary is FAKE.
“National Assembly Speaker Wetangula receives the nomination of Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka as Interior Cabinet Secretary following the promotion of Kithure Kindiki,” reads the text on the card.
The graphic was shared after Kithure Kindiki, who was serving as Interior Cabinet Secretary, was nominated by President Ruto for the position of deputy president and approvedby the National Assembly following Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment by the National Assembly and the Senate.
To confirm the card’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio reviewed Nation Africa’s Facebook page and X (formerly Twitter), but there was no such card.
On 18 October 2024, Nation Africa disowned the card stating: “FAKE NEWS ALERT! Please be advised that this card doing rounds on social media is fake.”
Further, Kalonzo Musyoka Command Centre Communications Lead Paloma Gatabaki disowned the card and termed it fake.
“Our attention has been drawn to the Fake News poster circulating on social media. It should be made clear that the poster did not originate from the@NationAfrica. Furthermore, the substance is at best laughable; and at worst pitiable reflecting an out-of-touch & desperately dithering dictatorship. The Alternative Government Leader and@TheWiperParty leader HE Dr.@skmusyoka has on several occasions, clearly dismissed any and all claims that purportedly link him to the anti-people bread based regime,” the statement reads in part.

- 110 - HOAX: This website purportedly offering M-PESA cash giveaways is a scam
SearchWriteThis website, submitted for fact-checking via PesaCheck’s WhatsApp Tipline and claiming to offer cash giveaways through Safaricom’s M-PESA service, is a HOAX.
The site claims that M-PESA is issuing KSh5,000 gift vouchers to all its customers to celebrate its anniversary.
To qualify, users must first provide their phone numbers to get the purported gift voucher.
The next phase requires prospective beneficiaries to select their gender, after which they are requested to share the link with five WhatsApp groups or 15 friends.
But is the giveaway authentic?
The website has red flags, among them exerting pressure on users to act fast. For instance, the site repeatedly says, “Hurry and get this amazing offer.”
The site also requests users share the link on WhatsApp to enter the giveaway. This is consistent with PesaCheck’s research on red flags for online scams.
The site uses a suspicious URL ‘https://m-pesa.programs.lat/Gifts#1728237727749’ which is different from the authentic Safaricom website ‘https://www.safaricom.co.ke/’
A WHOIS search established that the impostor website was registered in Iceland on 10 June 2024. Information about the registrant is hidden, while the authentic Safaricom website was registered by Safaricom PLC on 12 February 2003.
Legitimate sites tend to be much older than hoax sites, which also have hidden details about the registrant, raising suspicion.
A review of Safaricom’s website, Facebook page, and X (formerly Twitter) account did not yield the giveaway in question.
PesaCheck contacted Safaricom on X and established that the giveaway was not authentic.
“These are fraudsters. Do not follow any procedure or click any link,” Safaricom said.
PesaCheck examined a website submitted for fact-checking via PesaCheck’s WhatsApp Tipline, and claiming to offer cash giveaways through Safaricom’s M-PESA service, and found it to be a HOAX.

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 - 03min - 109 - FALSE: This photo wasn’t captured in Nairobi CBD on 1 October 2024
SearchWriteThese posts on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) with a photo supposedly of the situation in Kenya’s Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) on 1 October 2024 are FALSE.
“Situation right now at Nairobi CBD #FREEMORARA,” reads the Facebook post.
The image depicts a group of individuals carrying placards and marching along a street.
One donned a sackcloth with the text: “If I die in the battlefield, tell Mama I did my best.”
A section of Kenyans, mainly the youth, had threatened to hold protests in Nairobi CBD on 1 October 2024, following the arrest of activist Morara Kebaso on 30 September 2024.
Kebaso was released on a KSh50,000 cash bail after appearing in court on 1 October 2024.
A Google reverse image search led PesaCheck to an image published by Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) Afrika on 26 June 2024, which predates the claim.
TRT Afrika published the photo alongside three others. The images were accompanied by a Kiswahili text that translates to: “The Kenya Medical Association has said at least 23 people have been killed and 30 others are being treated for gunshot wounds after a nationwide protest against a tax hike in Kenya on Tuesday.”
TRT Afrika’s post came a day after a section of Kenyans took to the streets on 25 June 2024, protesting against the government. The protest led to loss of lives and injuries.
The image was also shared here and here.

The Indian firm has denounced the press release.
Thispress statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) purportedly from Adani Group, is FAKE.
“Incase you are wondering why the government wants the Adani deal to go on here is why,” reads the post.
The statement dated 10 September 2024 claims that Adani Group has expressed concerns over threats of protests against their projects in Kenya, and warned of consequences for those taking part in protests against them.
The statement further claims that the Group threatened to: “ reveal the names of government shareholders who have benefited from our investments… we will also publish the names of individuals who have received substantial bribes from our company.”
The document was shared amid protestsby airport workers over the proposed leasing of Kenya’s largest airport - Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Although the statement has Adani logo, it does not appear on the group’s X account, Facebook page and website.
On 16 September, Adani Group disowned the statement and stated that it had not issued press releases in relation to Kenya.“We categorically state that neither the Adani Group nor any of its companies or subsidiaries have issued any press releases related to Kenya… Our official press releases are available on our website,” the statement reads in part.
The firm warned that it will take legal action against “anyone involved in spreading false narratives.”

FAKE: This letter claiming lawyer Morara Kebaso is a member of Galck+ is fabricatedThe Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya (Galck+) denounced the letter.
A post shared on X (formerly Twitter) with a letter purportedly from the Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya (Galck+) claiming lawyer Morara Kebaso is a member of the body is FAKE.
Galck+ is an umbrella body representing LGBTQ+ voices across Kenya.
The post reads, “Morara Kebaso sits on the board of The Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya (GALCK), an organization with values and actions that contradict traditional African family structures.”
The purported letter reads in part: “This letter is to confirm that Mr. Morara Kebaso is a Member of The Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya (GALCK). Mr. Kebaso actively supports our mission to promote and protect the rights and well-being of the LGBTQ+ community in Kenya.”
Through his social media platforms, Kebaso has become popular for documenting his visits to various sites across the country to assess the progress and authenticity of the Kenyan government’s development projects.
The letter in question is seemingly signed off by the coalition’s executive director, Njeri Gateru. Contrary to this, the Galck+ executive coordinator is Lorna Dias, while Gateru is the executive director at the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NGLHRC).
The purported letter is not on the coalition’s official social media platforms or website. Instead, they denounced the letter in a Facebook post dated 5 September 2024.
“We, at galck+ distance ourselves from this laughable attempt at misinformation. Apparently, someone’s been busy crafting fake letters instead of tackling real issues, but we must give them credit for their creativity!” the post reads in part.
The post adds, “Let’s be clear: galck+ does not issue false documents or indulge in petty distractions. Our focus remains on protecting and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community in Kenya, and we will continue to do so with integrity and purpose. For real news (yes, the truth still matters), reach out to us through our official channels: info@galck.org or visit www.galck.org.”

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 - 03min - 102 - ALTERED: JKIA signage has not been rebranded
ALTERED: JKIA signage has not been rebrandedThe original image does not include Adani branding.
This image on Facebook showing the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) signage purportedly changed to Adani Krishna International Airport has been ALTERED.
The image is a collage of two photos, one purportedly depicting JKIA’s entrance before William Ruto’s presidency and another with the signage ‘Adani Krishna International Airport’ supposedly after he assumed office.
The photo accompanies a post that reads: “SAD;JKIA is now an Indian airport,Kenya has no international airport anymore.”
The image has also been shared here following the planned takeover of Kenya’s largest aviation facility by the Adani Group in November 2024. The news of the alleged private deal caused controversy following weeks of protests over bad governance in the country. The Kenya Aviation Workers Union also protested against the Adani deal, which would see the company take over the airport’s operations.
However, the image does not accurately depict the airport’s entrance.
A comparison of the two images in the post shows that except for the signage, everything else — the cars, police officers pictured, and the angle at which the photo was taken — remains the same.
A further reverse search of the image bearing the Adani signage reveals no official record. Instead, as seen here, the search brings up the original image of the airport’s entrance, which only contains the JKIA signage.
Additionally, there are no reports of the signage being changed as of 4 September 2024.
A previous debunk by PesaCheck, where an altered version of the original photo had been used satirically, also established that the original image has been online since 2022.

The video has also been shared here, here, and here and comes after Ruto nominated Tuya for the defence cabinet secretary position. The nomination led to misinformation regarding the two, which PesaCheck debunked. There were also online attacks made against the Defence CS.
However, the video is not a true representation of events.
A reverse search of a screengrab from the video brings up an image of Ruto and Tuya that was circulated when she was first nominated as Environment CS in September 2022, as seen here, here, and here.
PesaCheck traced the image to August 2013, when Ruto and Tuya were captured in similar attire as the one in the purported video as seen here, here, and here. The images were taken during a homecoming ceremony for the then Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ngeno and Narok Woman Representative Soipan Tuya.
Further, a review of the video shows unnatural movements of hands, deformed fingers and limbs, indicating that it was doctored. The inconsistencies can be seen on the hands and the glossy smooth finish on the video, which are characteristics of images and videos created using generative AI. A closer look at the video reveals artificial blurring in the background making the spectators look unreal. The people in the background in other versions of the image are also not the same as the one in the altered video and they are busy interacting with each other, not clapping as they watch Ruto and Tuya. Furthermore, the water body in the background is non-existent in the older version of the image.
A further review of the screengrab on AI image detector ‘Is it AI?’ found the probability of the image being AI generated at 81 per cent.
PesaCheck has looked into a video on Facebook purportedly of President William Ruto embracing Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya and found it to be ALTERED.

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 - 04min - 98 - HOAX: This post advertising Kazi Mtaani jobs is a sham
SearchWriteA Facebook post advertising July/August 2024 Kazi Mtaani jobs is a HOAX.
“Over 18,000 Kazi mtaani jobs advertised by the national government.. Minimum of Form 4 certificate is required,” the post reads in part.
The post features a link to a Google Form asking interested parties to apply for the purported jobs.
According to the information on the form: “The 18,000 youth will be engaged in the Nationwide planting of over 60 billion trees in the coming months as directed by the president. The initiative absorbs youth for a 2-year contract that is renewable subject to the government objectives there in. The youth in Urban areas will be absorbed to the construction of Affordable Housing Units recently launched by the president and other government responsibilities and directives given.”
The purported positions are divided into two major categories: supervisors (4,000) and service officers (14,000). The deadline for applications is 9 August 2024.
Service officers must be responsible citizens with good conduct, a Form Four education (minimum C- or equivalent), and neat handwriting. Applicants must be residents of the sub-locations, aged 18 to 32, have a national ID, be fluent in Kiswahili, and be available from September 2024.
Supervisors must be aged 21 to 35, have a national ID, be fluent in the local language/dialect, and have good communication skills in English and Kiswahili. Leadership experience is an advantage. Candidates must have no criminal history, hold a diploma or degree, be able to work with little supervision and have good public relations skills.
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed between 19–21 August at constituency headquarters.
Other requirements for all candidates include a KSh300 National Social Security Fund (NSSF) facilitation fee, which will be paid at the bank or via the M-PESA details provided. The bank transaction reference number or M-PESA transaction code is required to submit the form.
Applicants are also required to provide personal details, including name, contact information, ID number, and level of education, including primary and secondary school national exam grades.
Also known as the National Hygiene Programme (NHP), the Kazi Mtaani project is a government initiative that was started in April 2020 to cushion the most vulnerable people from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative was abolished in 2022 by President William Ruto. He, however, hinted at a return of the programme while on a development tour in Nakuru on 15 July 2024.
The purported advertisement does not appear on the State Department for Housing and Urban Development website or social media accounts.
To authenticate the claim, PesaCheck contacted Charles Hinga, the Principal Secretary State Department for Housing and Urban Development, and he dismissed it as “Fake”.
The National Youth Council Kenya also flagged the advert in question as fake in a Facebook post dated 1 August 2024.
The post reads in part, “Fake News Alert! It has come to our knowledge that some unscrupulous person,(s),out to con our youth of their scarce money, are circulating this poster purporting that they can recruit them into the Kazi Mtaani July/ August, 2024 intake.”
“Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, State Department for Youth Affairs and Creative Economy and National Youth Council Kenya wishes to confirm that this advert is FAKE, and we urge the Youth in particular, and Members of the Public in general, to disregard the advert and not fall prey it’s nefarious machinations,” the post adds.
The State Department for Youth Affairs and Creative Economy also shared the fake news alert.

The publication has disowned it.
This Facebook post with a Nation digital card purporting that the Nation Media Group (NMG) has sent home its employees due to an MPox outbreak in the company’s office is FALSE.
The post’s caption reads, “ My lawd, so mpox could easily identify who is an intern and who is not? akufukuzaye akuanbii toka (he who casts you doesn’t tell you to go out),” reads the post.
The claim was shared at a time when Mpox cases have started being recorded in the country. The Ministry of Health reported two cases of Mpox as of August 23, 2024.
To confirm the card’s credibility, Ghetto Radio checked Nation’s X and Facebook page and established that the publisher flagged the card here.“FAKE NEWS ALERT. Please be advised that this card doing rounds on social media is fake,” Nation posted.
Further, the Ministry of Health also dismissed the claim and termed it fake.“Stop spreading misinformation about Mpox! Always rely on accurate information from trusted sources such as@MOH_Kenya. Let's work together to keep our communities informed and safe,” reads the post in part.

The publication and the governor have flagged it.
This X (formerly Twitter) post with an image of the “Corridors of Power,” column on The Star newspaper, claiming that a female governor from Nyanza region is being fronted for the position of deputy president is FALSE.
The post reads, “Gladys Wanga is set to take the stage,her name is being considered as the next deputy president of Kenya when Rigathi Gachagua is impeached,viva!”
The article is accompanied by a photo of Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, thus suggesting that she is the subject of the article.
The image was shared amid reports of an impending impeachment of Kenya’s Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua.
To confirm whether the story is credible, Ghetto Radio checked The Star’s verified Facebook and X accounts, but did not find the purported story.Further, the storydoes not appearon their official segment of “Corridors of Power”.
On 5 August 2024, the publication distanced itself from the screengrab.

The image was initially published on 26 November 2023.
This Facebook postwith a photo claiming to show Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza visiting her Nyeri counterpart Mutahi Kahiga at his home on 15 August 2024 is FALSE.
The post features the two governors, Mwangaza’s husband Murega Baichu, a group of individuals, two goods and assorted food products.
According to the post, Governor Mwangaza visited Governor Kahiga with goodies, seeking the latter’s support during her impeachment motion.
“Last night Kawira Mwangaza visited Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga's home and took a series of ‘presents’ to solicit his assistance in garnering support from other governors and persuading senators to vote against her impending impeachment motion. The people of Meru deserve justice. Who will rescue us coz Senate is compromised,” reads the post dated 16 August 2024.
The image was shared a week after the Meru county Assemblyimpeached Governor Mwangaza for the third time. The Senate listened to her case and on 20 August 2024 upheld the assembly’s decision to impeach her. The High Court has, however, put the impeachment on hold pending the hearing and determination of a case challenging it.
But is the image from August 2024?
Google reverse image searchproduced results showing that the image was initiallypublished by Governor Kahiga on his verified Facebook page on 26 November 2023.
According to the Nyeri Governor, the image was captured in November 2023 as he hosted a delegation from Meru County, in his capacity as Chairperson of the Central Region Economic Bloc.
According to Kahiga, the meeting was also graced by Nyeri leaders that include; Deputy Governor Kinaniri Waroe, Senator Wahome Wamatinga, Woman Representative Rahab Mukami, Mukurweini Member of Parliament John Kaguchia, County Assembly Speaker, James Gichuhi and a group of Ward Representatives.

According to the Kenyan activist, the images were captured as he was recovering from a surgery known as Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
In astatementon his Facebook page, Mwangi said he underwent the surgery after experiencing heavy snoring for about two years, which doctors said was because his left nostril was shut.
The images were also published hereand here.

This poster on Facebook purportedly advertising jobs and internship opportunities at the Kenya Red Cross is a HOAX.
The poster has outlined some of the supposed vacancies and listed conditions prospective job seekers must meet for their applications to be considered.
Prospective applicants must be Kenyan citizens, be prepared to work extra hours in any region, be prompt in responding to emergencies, and have attained any level of education.
A website and email address have been provided for prospective applicants to submit their applications.
The poster also appears here and here.

The website on the poster (http://www.redcross.co.ke/) is not functional and has a .co.ke domain, while the authentic Kenya Red Cross website uses a .or.ke domain (https://www.redcross.or.ke/).
Lastly, the poster’s email address has a Gmail domain, whereas the Kenya Red Cross’ official email addresses use a .or.ke domain, for instance, info@redcross.or.ke.
We checked the Kenya Red Cross website and established that it had five vacancies as of 13 June 2024, but they are different from the ones on the poster in question.
On 12 June 2024, the Kenya Red Cross disowned the poster and affirmed that all its vacancies are only posted on its website.

FALSE: This image isn’t of a large octopus on Malindi BeachThe image was created using Generative AI.
This post on Facebook with an image purportedly of an octopus washed ashore on Malindi Beach is FALSE.
The Kiswahili post translates to: “Everyone is heading to Malindi Beach to witness the amazing creature brought by the water at night. There are some very strange creatures in the ocean.”
The claim image is of an octopus and seemingly onlookers on the beach.
A similar post appears here.
However, an initial keyword search does not bring up any reportage of such an occurrence, prompting further investigation.
A reverse image search to determine the photo’s origin brings up various instances where the image has been shared, all seemingly posted in June 2024.
Among the search results, is a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on 5 June 2024 with a video bearing a watermark from an Instagram account: ‘Best_of_AI.’
A search for the account on Instagram brings up a photo montage video shared on 1 June 2024 containing the photo in question, among others depicting various angles. This appears to be the first use case of the image.
The account’s bio states what it does: “AI STORY TELLING — Experimenting with different ai engines, themes and styles (fashion, sea creatures, arts, alternative history, movie ref etc) (sic).”
The text accompanying the image also states that it is a fictional story.
The account also contains similar images of giant marine life, as seen here and here.
PesaCheck subsequently ran the image through AI-image detectors, ‘Umm-Maybe’s AI Art Detector’
and ‘Content at Scale’, which ranked it as 89 and 88 per cent artificial.

PARTLY FALSE: This is not a leopard at Nairobi’s Runda EstateThe image is of a leopard in Mumbai, India.
This Facebook post with an image of a leopard purportedly sighted at Nairobi’s Runda estate is PARTLY FALSE.
The post reads, “There is a leopard on the loose in Runda.”
The image’s text reads: “Runda/Rosslyn friends…make sure your doggos are kept inside at night. Leopard on the loose north side of Kurura Forest.”
The message further adds that the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) was informed of the leopard sighting, and that two goats have allegedly been killed in the area.
Runda estate is pinned as the location on the image.
A reverse image search on Google Lens established that the claim image is of a leopard photographed in India.
The image was featured in an article dated 8 March 2018, with the headline, “Leopards that live in cities are protecting people from rabies.”
According to the article, the image was taken by National Geographic’s photojournalist Steve Winter in Mumbai, India.
Winter shared the image on Instagram in a post reading, “Shot for my @natgeo leopard story — A leopard takes his daily walk on a trail with an apartment building behind — in Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai, India.”
The image was also published on the photographer’s website.
The photograph has been featured in other articles on leopards living in cities over the years.
Charles Musyoki, the Director of Wildlife and Community Service at KWS told PesaCheck that they received information on the alleged leopard spotted in Runda, and sent responders to the area. But as of 11 June 2024, they had not yet seen the alleged animal.
“The photo in question was taken in India. However, when we received this information we dispatched first responders to Runda who combed the entire area and laid a trap. To date no leopard has been sighted,” Musyoki said.
“We remain vigilant and call upon the residents to report any sighting to us. KWS is committed to protecting people and their property,” Musyoki added.
PesaCheck has looked into a Facebook post with an image of a leopard purportedly sighted at Nairobi’s Runda estate, and finds it to be PARTLY FALSE.

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 - 04min - 89 - HOAX: This poster advertising jobs at Equity Bank Kenya is a scam
HOAX: This poster advertising jobs at Equity Bank Kenya is a scamThe vacancies do not appear on the bank’s website.
This poster on Facebook purportedly advertising jobs at Equity Bank Kenya is a HOAX.
According to the graphic, the financial institution has 120 job openings. Prospective applicants are required to submit their applications via the email address provided.
The poster has also been shared here, here, and here.
But is the poster authentic?
First, the email address on the poster has an Outlook domain, while the ones listed on Equity Bank Kenya’s website use a different domain, such as this one: info@equitybank.co.ke.
PesaCheck reviewed Equity Bank Kenya’s X (formerly Twitter) account and Facebook page, where the lender conventionally shares such opportunities, but did not find the poster under investigation.
PesaCheck contacted Equity Bank Kenya on X and established that it posts all its vacancies on its official website.
“We post all job openings on our website. Please keep an eye on the link below,” the bank said.
A review of the bank’s website revealed that as of 12 June 2024, Equity Bank Kenya did not have any of the vacancies on the poster under investigation.
PesaCheck examined a poster on Facebook purportedly advertising jobs at Equity Bank Kenya and found it to be a HOAX.

FAKE: This digital card wasn’t published by Kenyans.co.ke
The publication has flagged it.
Thisdigital card on Facebook claiming to be from online publisher Kenyans.co.ke and supposedly ranking top 40 inciters in the country, is FAKE.“Top influencers who never showed up for demonstration no 12 will shock you,” reads the post.
`````````
The card is titled “They never showed up on the streets” and was shared on 16 July 2024, as a section of Kenyans held anti-government protestsacross the country.Listed on the card are 40 influential Kenyans on social media such as human rights activist Boniface Mwangi, journalist Hanifa Bare and comedian Eric Omondi among others.
To confirm whether the card is legitimate, Ghetto Radio checked Kenyans.co.ke’s Facebook page and X account, but did not come across the card in question.

FALSE: This image doesn’t show a road damaged by earthquake in Rongai, Kajiado County
The photo is of California’s State Route 178 after an earthquake struck the area on 5 July 2019.
This image shared on X (formerly Twitter) claiming to show a damaged road in Rongai, Kajiado County after a tremor was reported in sections of Nairobi is FALSE.
On 16 July 2024, a section of Kenyans in Nairobi and its environs reportedexperiencing a tremor that lasted for about 30 seconds.
“The#Earthquake caused damage on road in Rongai,” reads the X post.
To confirm the photo’s credibility, Ghetto Radioperformed a Google Reverse image search and established thatthe picture is from California, United States of America.
The United States Geological Survey published the image in July 2019 and reported that it was a section of California’s State Route 178, which crumbled after an earthquake struck the area.

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 - 01min - 86 - FAKE: This digital card with a news alert on DP Gachagua’s impeachment is not from Kenyans.co.ke
The online publication has disowned the card.
This post shared on X (formerly Twitter) with a digital card purportedly from Kenyans.co.ke with a news alert on Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment is FAKE.
“Deputy President Rigathi to be impeached over son’s Shs.4 billion mosquito nets deal,” reads the card dated 9 July 2024.
The card has the publisher’s branding, an image of the DP and text reading: “Impeachment proceedings are based on Article 150 of the Constitution of Kenya, aimed at upholding integrity in public office.”To confirm the card is authenticity, Ghetto Radio checked Kenyans.co.ke’s official X account and Facebook page, where they publish such graphics, but the one in question was non-existent.
The publication through a post on X flagged the card and urged readers to disregard it.
“This post did not emanate from our media house. We flag it as FAKE. For official communication fromhttp://Kenyans.co.ke, always visit the official website and verified social media page,” the publication stated.
In May 2023, the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) was accused of violating procurement rules while allocating aKSh3.7 billion tender for the supply of treated mosquito nets that was to be financed by Global Fund.
However, following the accusations, the Global Fund cancelledthe tender. Several senior government officials were reportedlysuspended in relation to the scandal.
A keyword search did not yield credible results on the alleged upcoming impeachment of the DP.
