State House Spokesman Hussein Mohamed is under fire for misleading information on X formerly Twitter.
Hussein had posted a tweet with a video about a beneficiary of President William Ruto’s Jitume programme, the spokesman said the young man makes KSh 150,000 per month.
Ironically, in the video, the man said he makes 150 U.S. dollars, which is KSh 19000.
“Samson Nyamweya earns Ksh 150,000 per month through online writing after enrolling with the Jitume programme, an initiative that provides the youth with access to digital services, digital skills, and online job opportunities,” he tweeted.
Netizens called him out for the tweet which forced him to apologise and clear the air.
Hussein added that it was good Kenyans acknowledged that the President’s initiative was helping young people earn a living.
“Woi! My apologies, folks, I meant $150 per month. Chill out and don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. But at least we all agree that President William Ruto’s interventions are creating incomes for Nyamweya and many more! Have a chill evening.” He said.
Hussein Mohamed is one of the best journalists Kenya ever produced.
How he conducted interviews was on another level.
He has interviewed some of the top politicians in the country and effortlessly left them breaking into a sweat.
At one point, Moses Kuria walked out of an interview in a huff after Hussein insisted on playing a video clip where he was inciting youths.
