HOAX: This offer of free laptops from Kenya’s Ministry of ICT is FAKE
A Facebook page using the name of the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology (MICT) and claiming to offer free laptops to Kenyans is FAKE.
The post claims the ministry has partnered with computer manufacturers Lenovo, Acer and HP to donate at least 2,000 laptops in each of Kenya’s 47 counties, as assistance for those in distress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
