This tweet shared on March 27, 2023, bears an image with a caption claiming that demonstrators invaded Wiper Party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka’s farm in Yatta.
Background
On March 27, 2023, looters invaded the Kenyatta family-owned Northlands Farm in Ruiru sub-county along the Thika super highway. Herds of sheep and goats were driven out of the property and goons later set the farm ablaze. On the same day, East Africa Spectre Limited, associated with Raila Odinga’s family was also vandalized. Odinga visited the farm on March 28, 2023, to assess the damage and condemned the actions witnessed on the previous day.
Verification
A Google reverse image search reveals that the image was first uploaded on Depositphotos.com. It is under their Royalty-free images. The caption reads; “Damaged overripe watermelon fruit plants in field with clear blue sky — Photo by Simazoran.”
Verdict
Claims that the image shows Kalonzo Musyoka’s property vandalized in Yatta are FALSE.
