FAKE: This digital card purportedly quoting KeNHA’s director general is not from Kenyans.co.ke

KeNHA and the online publication have disowned the graphic. 

This digital card with Kenyans.co.ke branding and purportedly quoting the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) director general Kung'u Ndung'u is FAKE. 

“For every Shs.10 spent by motorists on the Nairobi Expressway, Shs.6 is paid to Mountain Hill Global - a company owned by Muhoho Kenyatta,” reads the quote on the card.

The Nairobi Expressway is a 27KM toll road from Mlolongo to the James Gichuru junction. It is managed and operated by Moja Expressway under a public-private partnership.Moja Expressway is incharge of the road and collects toll as a way of recouping the money used on the project.

Moja Expressway is scheduled to operate the road for a period of 27 years from its opening in 2022, after which it will hand back the road to KeNHA.

Ghetto Radio checked Kenyans.co.ke Facebook page and X account for the graphic but didn’t find it. Instead we found this post terming it as fake.

“This post did not emanate from our media house. We flag it as FAKE. For official communication from http://Kenyans.co.ke, always visit the official website and verified social media page,” Kenyans.co.ke posted. 

KeNHA also flagged the card on its X account and Facebook page.

Ghetto Radio examined a digital card with Kenyans.co.ke branding and purportedly quoting KeNHA director general Kung'u Ndung'u and found it to be FAKE.
