Cambridge Analytica “Gave” Kenyans a President in 2013 and 2017

Cambridge Analytica literally gave Kenyans a president in 2013 and 2017 general elections.

The controversial largest data analytics company in the world and which has since been suspended by Facebook is said to be behind all the propaganda, stage managing of campaign rallies as well as the fake news that was flying over Kenyan during the 2 elections.

The firm swayed Kenyans’ thinking on ethnic violence, joblessness and the fear of being marginalized to help project President Uhuru Kenyatta to power in 2017.

According to an undercover video released by Britain’s Channel 4 News, the firm employed psychological manipulation to influence Kenyan voters both in 2013 and 2017 polls.

The firm is said to have interviewed 47,000 Kenyans to get what they feared most then took up the information stage war against Uhuru Kenyatta’s main opponent, Raila Odinga.

Cambridge Analytica is said to have been paid 600 million shillings a 3-month data collection exercise in 2017.

The firm has since refuted the claims. “We refute these mischaracterization and false allegations. Today, Channel 4 News story gives a highly misleading picture of the company and what we do.”
