Sometimes, it is good to Relax, Reflect, and Recharge. Watch the highlights from our Youth Digital Watch Cell Care and Meet in Hola, Tana River County last week. A big gratitude to the DDISA for their kind support. #NetSafi @Wits_E @CivicTechAfrica @CIVICUSalliance

FACT-CHECK! ⛔ Reports linking demonstrations against the Dangote oil refinery project with former President Kenyatta are FALSE. During his presidency, Kenyatta dimmed plans to build a refinery in Lamu stating instead Kenya would export raw crude oil from Turkana through Lamu.
Uhuru Kenyatta and fake activists have paid the residents of Lamu to demonstrate and present court cases to derail the government of William Ruto. Kama mtu hakufanya kazi time yake akae aonyeshwe vile kazi inapangwa

FACT-CHECK! ⛔ The officer alleged to have been transfered for investigating the transfer of ballots across the Kenya-Uganda border, Leviticus Mukunga, is alive. Furthermore, @DCI_Kenya has officially denied any such investigation, officer involvement, or transfer took place.

FACT CHECK! ⛔⛔ This document is fake and meant to misinform the general public. For correct information about political party membership, visit the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP). @ORPPKenya
Guess who called Natembeya a tribalist? Again, if The Principals of Linda Mwananchi agreed Patel to register The Mwananchi Party, did they also agree to have the entire outfit to be Luos? Lakini Patel unatuonaje?

"Any Muslim or Coast region person who stands with Riggy G or Uhuru Kenyatta is an enemy of our people..." Hassan Omar. Src - Mutembei tv Ain't this part of intolerance that NCIC is supposed to act against? ​Weaponizing tragedy and playing the religious-tribal card. Wrong.

FACT-CHECK!! ⛔⛔⛔ Alfred Keter has publicly stated that he is not contesting or seeking guarantees for Cabinet slots in 2027. Instead, he claims to be positioning himself as an "alternative voice" for the Kalenjin community to protect their interests if UDA lose the elections.
Plans to divide Rift Valley; Reports indicate that the opposition is courting former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi to run for the presidency in 2027 with former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter be offered a Cabinet position. Their strategy is primarily to split the Rift Valley. But let me tell you, Maina: that plan will end in vain. Ruto is the master and you are all his students. So declassified!
