SATIRE: This image purportedly showing Kenya’s Office of the President is manipulated

November 2, 2023

The image is of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Kenya

This photo shared on X (formerly Twitter) supposedly of Kenya’s Office of the President is SATIRICAL.

The image captures what appears to be a motor vehicle checkpoint and is accompanied by a text that reads: “Anyone looking for our president, kindly note.”

The image circulated on social media after media reports emerged indicating that Kenyan President William Ruto had made 38 foreign trips from September 2022 to October 2023.

Mtoto News conducted a Tineye reverse image search and established that the original photo is of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi Kenya.

In the original image, the banner is branded Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and not Office of the President, Kenya as is in the claim under investigation.

The original photo was also published here.

Mtoto News examined a Facebook post with a photo supposedly of Kenya’s Office of the President is SATIRICAL.

This fact-check was published by Mtoto News with technical support from Code for Africa’s PesaCheck newsdesk through the African Fact-Checking Alliance
