At the heart of #NetSafi are our Youth Digital Watch Cells who identify, report, verify, and respond to misinformation.
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.

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

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

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?

@UDAKenya Secretary General Senator @HassanOmarH did not say these inflammatory words.
"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.
