State House was yesterday forced to pull down tweets and a Facebook post congratulating Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for election victory.
The post on Facebook was deleted after the social media giant flagged it as containing misinformation.
The deletions, intended to save face, were however interpreted by Kenyans on social media as Kenya retracting its congratulations to the Ugandan president in the midst of questions on the integrity of the Thursday elections.
