A video purporting that Kenya’s Presidential frontrunner William Ruto ‘grown his career through corruption’ is altered and misleading.
In an interview with a senior BBC Journalist, Emmanuel Igunza, on matter corruption and state capture explained his contribution on progressive nature of the economy including infrastructure.
However, a video surfacing various social media platforms Facebook, Twitter purports Ruto to have rose career wise from corruption which clearly has been manipulated.
We listened in to BBC Interview published on YouTube on July 21, 2022, which does not have purported claims.
Video edit software with tools like adlib matching were used in superimposing voice from other sections of the video thus claiming Ruto indeed uttered words in some certain order, thus contextually misrepresented facts.
The corrupted video had Ruto saying: “I have grown my career from corruption and I have climbed the ranks and learned the hard way to where I am today.”
