Fact Check : Kenya’s first Lady Rachel Ruto is not offering Inua Jamii loans

How true is this Facebook post claiming to offer Inua Jamii loans in First Lady Rachel Ruto’s name? 

The loans on offer range from Ksh 10,000 to 150,000.

The claim is from a Facebook account under the name “HE Rechael Chebet Loans” and it contains images of the First Lady. 

There is no information on the said loans on the First Lady’s Facebook page which is  verified. 

The Inua Jamii program is not run by the Office of the First Lady and has in the past warned Kenyans on associating with pages claiming to offer loans in their name. 

“@inuajamiike is not affiliated in anyway to these groups and the Inua Jamii Program does not offer loans. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY to these individuals as they are scamming hard working Kenyans out of their money,” reads the tweet. 

Velma Writes has looked into a Facebook account claiming Kenya’s First Lady Rachel Ruto is offering Inua Jamii loans and finds it to be FALSE.
