Ignore Facebook page impersonating former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta
Kenya 's former president Uhuru Kenya tta relinquished power in September 2022 and has largely stayed out of politics. But that has not stopped impostors from publishing controversial statements in his name on social media.But what caught our eye was the page's tendency to use foul language and demeaning names when referring to Kenya n president, the tax collector in the Christian Bible.
The page's posts are poorly written and contain glaring grammatical errors. These are common signs of suspicious accounts and pages. If the post was published by Kenyatta or any member of his team, we would expect it to be error-free. The"page transparency" section of this page shows that it was created on 9 September 2021 under the name"Kenya Politics". It later changed to"Uhuru Kenyatta Diehard" and finally to its current name. All these changes were made within one year. Frequent name changes on a page are usually a red flag.Kenyatta served as president of Kenya from 2013 to 2022. He suspended his social media accounts in 2019.
