FAKE: This Digital Card Purporting To Quote President Museveni Is Fabricated

A digital card shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the branding of Kenyans.co.ke purportedly quoting the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is FAKE.

The card seems to suggest a rather questionable take by Uganda’s president on the recent tax riots in Kenya. 

“Our neighbours, Kenyans, are picketing in the streets instead of working. The demonstrations are led by a bunch of tik tokers and members of the LGBTQ community. Do TikTokers even pay tax??” the quote on the card reads.

While the double question marks raise doubts about the quote’s authenticity, Brian Muuo, head of social media at Kenyans.co.ke, definitively debunked the card. 

He confirmed to PesaCheck, a fact-checking organization, that the card is fake, doesn’t adhere to their editorial standards, and was solely created to spread misinformation.
