Court case exposes scheme to have foreigners run Ruto's social media

President William Ruto’s social media accounts and communication could have the backing of foreigners outside the country, whose task is to manage a positive image while eliminating critical comments online.

This damning allegation is part of a court case involving Mary Maina, an alleged seller of spying software, and her company, Jipe Inc, against Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo, Head of Public Service Felix Kosgei, Attorney General, businessman Jayesh Saini, and the President’s speechwriter Eric Ng'eno.
