The Daily's Verdict

This news site has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on its reporting.

Bias

92%

Examples:

  • The source has a total of 820,000 cases recorded in Haiti and raises the issue of whether Kenyan police officers respect human rights. It is mentioned that this issue is publicly known that they abuse the rights of people and are left to walk free.

Conflicts of Interest

98%

Examples:

  • The source quotes Justice Mwita saying that Article 240 of the Constitution allows for defence forces to be deployed outside Kenya but not police officers. However, this statement is also misleading as it implies that there are no exceptions to this rule when in fact there may be circumstances where police officers can be deployed outside Kenya under certain conditions.

Contradictions

97%

Examples:

  • Cyclone Hidaya hit Tanzania on Saturday causing a major power blackout.
  • The article claims that President Ruto has been dealt a blow after the High Court bars police deployment 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.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The author quotes Justice Mwita saying that Article 240 of the Constitution allows for defence forces to be deployed outside Kenya but not police officers. However, this statement is also misleading as it implies that there are no exceptions to this rule when in fact there may be circumstances where police officers can be deployed outside Kenya under certain conditions.
