Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The article claims that President Ruto has been dealt a blow after the High Court halted a UN-backed plan to deploy 1000 police officers to Haiti. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that President Ruto was directly involved in the decision and had control over it when in fact he only welcomed the move.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The article claims that there are no exceptions to the rule that police officers cannot be deployed outside Kenya under certain conditions. However, this statement is also misleading as it implies that there are no circumstances where police officers can be deployed outside Kenya.

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • The article claims that President Ruto's name should be struck out of the case and any other government agency or person who decides to deploy police officers to Haiti will be in breach of the Constitution. However, this statement is not supported by evidence and may have been included for sensationalism purposes.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article claims that the deceased was taken to Kenyatta National Hospital mortuary on January 10, 2023 labeled as an unknown African male adult. However, this statement is not accurate as it implies that there are no records of the deceased's identity.
