    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.

    Ghetto Radio examined a digital card purportedly from Nation Africa claiming Kalonzo Musyoka has been nominated as the Interior Cabinet Secretary and found it to be FAKE.

  • 110 - HOAX: This website purportedly offering M-PESA cash giveaways is a scam

    This 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/

    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 websiteFacebook 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.

    These 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.

    PesaChecked looked into posts on Facebook and X with a photo supposedly showing the situation in the Nairobi CBD on 1 October 2024 and found them to be FALSE.

    FAKE: This digital card is not from Tuko.co.ke

    The publication and the DCI have disowned it.

    This digital card on X( formerly Twitter) purportedly from Tuko.co.ke with a news alert claiming that Catholic Priest Father Charles Kinyua has been summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is FAKE.

    “It’s getting personal,” reads the post.

    The card claims Father Kinyua has been summoned over accusations of disparaging President William Ruto in a viral sermon on thieves.


    The graphic was shared after Father Kinyua held a viral service where he preached against the illegal acquisition of wealth.

    To confirm the card’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio checked Tuko’s Facebook, X, and Instagram accounts where such graphics are published, but we did not find the one being investigated.

    On 13 October 2024, Tuko.co.ke disowned the card.

    “We’ve noticed false information circulating on social media, claiming to be from us. Please note, if it's not on our verified social media platforms, it's NOT from us. Stay informed and trust only official sources!” the digital publicationsaid.


    The DCI also flagged the card.

    Ghetto Radio examined a digital card on X purportedly from Tuko.co.ke claiming that Father Charles Kinyua had been summoned by the DCI and found it to be FAKE.
