Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, on Friday, suspended his social media accounts citing infiltration by unauthorised individuals.
Kenyatta has been active on social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook, where he has millions of followers, earning the tag ‘digital president’.
“On the account of unauthorised access to official social media handles of the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, all official social media handles of the president have been suspended.
“Although remedial measures were being taken to restore them,’’ Nzioka Waita, State House Chief of Staff, said in a statement posted on social media.
Kenyatta, before the suspension, had posted on Twitter and Facebook his resolve to fight corrupt officials, noting he will not spare even his friends, a message that generated heated reactions.
The Kenyan leader has pledged to reinvigorate the war against graft during his second and final term in office.
