The President’s communication unit should counter check information before reacting

Basic tenets of natural justice dictate that you do not shoot the messenger, however distasteful the message, you deal with the message. Following reports of the terrorists ambush on police officers at Yumbis Tuesday last week, The Presidential Strategic Communication Unit took to twitter to mourn and salute the officers who had died defending Kenyans.

Within hours of PSCU condolences, the interior ministry tweeted that no officer had been killed in the incident and that landmines set on path by terrorists left some injured and police vehicles destroyed.
