An unverified graphic bearing the branding of the digital media outlet Kenyans.co.ke has circulated in Kenya, falsely attributing a ranking of the worst-performing Members of Parliament in the Mt Kenya region to the polling firm InfoTrak. A fact-check by Africa Check confirmed that no such report exists and that the polling firm never released any such rankings.
An examination of the circulating image revealed several inconsistencies indicating it is a fabrication. The graphic contains fabricated scores, noticeable spelling mistakes, and other distinct markers that exposed it as inauthentic.
Members of the public and stakeholders have been advised to completely disregard the fake graphic. The incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the spread of fabricated information and manipulated media branding targeting political figures and research institutions in the country.
