FAKE: Nation Africa didn’t publish this card claiming Kalonzo Musyoka has been nominated as Interior Cabinet Secretary 

Nation Africa and Kalonzo Musyoka have disowned the card.

This digital card purportedly from Nation Africa claiming Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has been nominated as the Interior Cabinet Secretary is FAKE. 

“National Assembly Speaker Wetangula receives the nomination of Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka as Interior Cabinet Secretary following the promotion of Kithure Kindiki,” reads the text on the card.


The graphic was shared after Kithure Kindiki, who was serving as Interior Cabinet Secretary, was nominated by President Ruto for the position of deputy president and approved by the National Assembly following Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment by the National Assembly and the Senate

To confirm the card’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio reviewed Nation Africa’s Facebook page and X (formerly Twitter), but there was no such card.

On 18 October 2024, Nation Africa disowned the card stating: “FAKE NEWS ALERT! Please be advised that this card doing rounds on social media is fake.”


Further, Kalonzo Musyoka Command Centre Communications Lead Paloma Gatabaki disowned the card and termed it fake.

“Our attention has been drawn to the Fake News poster circulating on social media. It should be made clear that the poster did not originate from the @NationAfrica. Furthermore, the substance is at best laughable; and at worst pitiable reflecting an out-of-touch & desperately dithering dictatorship. The Alternative Government Leader and @TheWiperParty leader HE Dr. @skmusyoka has on several occasions, clearly dismissed any and all claims that purportedly link him to the anti-people bread based regime,” the statement reads in part.

Ghetto Radio examined a digital card purportedly from Nation Africa claiming Kalonzo Musyoka has been nominated as the Interior Cabinet Secretary and found it to be FAKE. 

This fact-check was published by Ghetto Radio with support from Code for Africa’s PesaCheck and African Fact-Checking Alliance.
