Western Regional Commissioner Irungu Macharia has urged Kenyans to exercise patriotism and be confident with the government to deliver on its mandate.

Speaking at Masinde Muliro University in Kakamega County, Macharia noted that the government is committed to ensuring that it offers development, urging residents to be loyal and exercise restraint against falsehoods.

He urged residents to always seek to understand the source of information they consume and know if it's credible or not in order not to be misled by misinformation, disinformation and outright propaganda. "Have you ever taken time to know if a source of information is credible?

When you feed into misinformation and disinformation, you will start to dislike your government just because you listened to information but you don't know its source," he added.
