Propaganda being spread on social media is fueling discontent amongst Kenyans, nominated MP Sabina Chege has said.
The MP has noted that many things being peddled on social media forums against the government are untrue and that many Kenyans are unable to distinguish lies from facts.
Chege has said the challenge has further been compounded by the failure of senior government officials to communicate with Kenyans effectively.
She cited the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) which she said has the potential to change local health systems for the better but which has been met with resistance by Kenyans.
Early this month, the President decried an ‘evil spirit’ that he said was causing Kenyans to reject all government initiatives.
But Chege said the lack of the correct information has left many Kenyans at the mercy of propagandists who take advantage of the vibrant social media to deceive Kenyans.
“There have been lots of issues being raised on government programmes and I’m urging Kenyans not to believe everything they find on social media,” she said.
SHIF that has succeeded the defunct NHIF, she said, will make it possible for low-earning Kenyans to access primary health care at little or no cost.
She also defended the mass livestock vaccination drive scheduled for January next year which has also been opposed by many Kenyans with some leaders alluding that the vaccine will genetically modify their livestock.
