Background

On July 7, 2023, protesters in Kisii County joined the protests against the high cost of living. The protestors blocked the Kisii-Migori, Kisii-Keroka and Kisii-Kilgoris roads. Police had to fire tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd.

Verification

A Google reverse image search reveals that the image was first shared on May 3, 2023. The road was barricaded in Migori County and not Kisii as claimed.

Verdict

The claim that the barricaded road is from Kisii County is FALSE.
