A newly released GeoPoll survey reveals that television news and official government announcements are the most trusted sources of information for Kenyans regarding a proposed Ebola centre.
The government plans to establish the facility in Nanyuki with support from the United States government.
As citizens seek reliable updates on the project, 31 per cent identify television news as their primary trusted source, followed by Ministry of Health announcements at 20 per cent.
Alternative communication channels trail behind official mediums but still play a role in public discourse.
Social media serves as a trusted source for 17 per cent of respondents, while direct health professionals and doctors earn the trust of 12 per cent.
Traditional radio news is trusted by 11 per cent, international organisations account for 8 per cent, and local community leaders sit at just 1 per cent.
This reliance on mainstream and official channels coincides with widespread public anxiety over false information.
According to the data released on June 3, an overwhelming 81 per cent of respondents state that they are very concerned about misinformation and fear related to Ebola in Kenya.
An additional 13 per cent express that they are somewhat concerned, leaving a minimal 6 percent who report having little or no concern regarding the spread of misleading claims.
