Uhuru Kenyatta's office warns of social media impersonation

The office of former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a warning to the public regarding fraudulent social media accounts impersonating the former first family. Spokesperson Kanze Dena clarified that the office maintains only two official platforms: ‘Office of the 4th President of the Republic of Kenya’ on Facebook and ‘Office of the 4th President of Kenya’ on X.

Dena emphasized that Uhuru Kenyatta, his wife Margaret Kenyatta, and their children do not operate any personal social media accounts. The public is advised to disregard any other profiles claiming to represent the family.

This announcement follows recent instances of misinformation, including a previously dismissed doctored document regarding Kenyatta’s interactions with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Separately, the former president marked his 65th birthday on October 26, receiving tributes from various political leaders and citizens.
