FAKE: This digital card purportedly quoting MP Ndindi Nyoro isn’t from Nairobi Leo

Both the MP and the media outlet have termed it fake. 

This digital card shared on Facebook with Nairobi Leo branding  and purporting to quote Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro is FAKE. 

The purported quote reads: “ As a nation we must, as the chair of Budget Committee, I can say we’ve yet to deliver on many of the promises in our PLAN, and the economy is still in recovery. Our President, even while in America, acknowledges the immense effort he is putting in to meet the expectations of the people. The current political tensions and call for Gachagua’s impeachment will only harm our economy further.”

The digital card was shared amidst a push for impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over claims of undermining President William Ruto. 

At the time the card was posted, Ruto was in New York, USA, for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

To confirm the card’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio reviewed Nairobi Leo’s Facebook, Instagram and X account, but didn't find the card in question.

On 24 September 2024, the publication flagged the card and termed it fake.

The legislator also flagged the card and urged Kenyans to disregard it.

Ghetto Radio investigated a digital card shared on Facebook with Nairobi Leo branding  and purporting to quote MP Ndindi Nyoro and found it to be FAKE.
