How a facebook imposter used Nick Salat’s account to tear Ruto apart

A facebook account under the name of KANU Party Secretary General Nick Salat has been slamming Deputy President Dr William Ruto hard.

On Friday, the account had a post reading, “In 2022, Gideon Moi will run for presidency.Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga will support him and our brother William Ruto will cry”

However, the Kanu secretary general has disowned the “fake” Facebook account under his name, which has been used to discredit Ruto. 

Terming it a fabricated account being used to tarnish his own name as well, Salat said he only runs one Facebook account, which has been inactive for a while.

“I rarely post anything on it,” he said.

Salat has always preferred voicing his political opinions publicly, rather than on social media. 

The Kanu politician has never shied from taking on the Deputy President in public.

He urged the public to ignore the account and said he has already written to the Facebook administrators, advising them of the “imposter” and requesting them to deactivate it.

“That is someone who just wants to stir up unnecessary debate, it is not me…mine has always been private, I do not post or comment on issues on Facebook,” he stated. 

He said the offending post was crafted “out of malice for the DP”, but not by him.

The new Postal Corporation Board chairman said those operating the account might be “disoriented individuals” seeking to portray him and the Kanu Party in a bad light.

He said they might want to wage war between him and the DP’s camp.
