Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has alleged that unknown individuals are using social media platforms, especially TikTok, to fabricate military takeovers on the continent.
In an interview with NTV on Monday, April 7, Mwaura claimed that the individuals are conducting a 'silent psychological operation' in the Chinese-owned social media giant to fuel coups.
According to Mwaura, individuals are 'deliberately' attacking presidents by projecting them as 'corrupt' and 'old' and then glorifying other military leaders. "If you look at TikTok, there seems to be a very silent operation promoting the military takeover, and some people have criticised me in the past for claiming that there is external interference on how people tend to make their decisions," he said.
