  • Social sharing platform Facebook flagged a post by State House in which President Uhuru Kenyatta sent a congratulatory message to his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni.

    The head of state had sent the message on Sunday after Museveni clinched the the seat for the sixth time in the Thursday, January 14, elections that were marred with violence and allegations of fraud.

    In the message, Uhuru termed Museveni’s re-election as a testimony of the confidence the people of Uganda have in his leadership.

    President Kenyatta also said Uganda had achieved stability and registered consistent economic growth under President Museveni.

    He also assured the neighbouring nation of Kenya’s commitment to continue partnering with Uganda in advancing regional and continental integration agenda.

    Accompanying the message, however, was an image that had earlier been used in a fake post announcing a cabinet reshuffle in Uganda.

    It was hence labelled as “false information” in line with Facebook’s policy of fighting false information that has increased in the wake of the US presidential elections. 

    Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko was quick to celebrate the development after his recent fallout with President Uhuru Kenyatta. 

    Uhuru seems to have angered Kenyans with the message after some claimed that the exercise was rigged against presidential aspirant Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine.

    “Congratulations Bobi wine for getting over 3 million votes. It shows how Ugandans are yearning for change. Dictators and their sympathisers must fall,” stated Benjamin Karingithi.

    “The election wasn’t free and fair, no internet, power blackout etc. Congrats Bobi Wine for winning Ugandan election,” added Keyari David.

    Museveni was declared the winner after garnering almost 59% of the vote against Wine’s 35% according to Uganda Electoral Commission.

    Wine noted that he had evidence of voter rigging although soldiers did not allow him to leave his home together with his wife.
