The Ministry of Health has flagged a fake account on social media platform X, claiming to be that of Cabinet Secretary Debora Barasa Mlongo.
The ministry clarified that CS Barasa's official account is "@deborabarasa".
It cautioned Kenyans to be wary of misinformation being spread by the account.
"A fake X account, @Deborah_Mulongo, is falsely posing as the Cabinet Secretary for Health and spreading misinformation. Please be aware—this is not the official account.
"The legitimate account is @deborabarasa. Follow the official account for accurate and timely updates," the Ministry of Health said.
The fake account, at the time of flagging, had over 4,000 followers.
A cross-examination by the Star established that the fake account, which has been running by the name @Deborah_Mulongo has been sharing information posted on the CS's official account.
