KOX Roast Dennis Itumbi, Here is Why

State House figure Dennis Itumbi has faced criticism after attempting to downplay the weakening of the Kenyan Shilling. 

He shared what appeared to be a manipulated screenshot, claiming it showed current exchange rates.

Itumbi, no stranger to online blunders, posted a Google search screenshot indicating that one US dollar was trading at Ksh.144.94. This assertion was promptly challenged by numerous individuals who presented genuine receipts.

In reality, the official exchange rate is Ksh.148.75 for one US dollar, contradicting Itumbi's suggestion.

While anyone with a decent internet connection can easily verify currency statistics on Google, Itumbi seemingly did not anticipate this.

AFP reporter Hillary Orinde was among those who corrected Dennis Itumbi, saying, "Eish Dennis! When will you stop lying? This is what @CBKKenya sent to newsrooms this morning!" She attached a screenshot of the actual exchange rates.

Karani Mutonga, another social media user, also weighed in, sharing the official dollar rates and advising, "Familiarize yourself with the money market, my brother, before exposing your ignorance. That screenshot was taken at 2 a.m. CBK is closed. Are you the only ones in this government, or is there a wild card?"

Dennis Kithandi, another user, shared a screenshot indicating that one US dollar was selling at Ksh.148.80 and remarked, "Unfortunately, ignorance has engulfed Kenya. This screenshot was taken a few seconds ago!"
