- Edwin Watenya Sifuna (born 22 May 1982) is a Kenyan politician and the current Senator for Nairobi County. On 4 October 2026, he was unveiled as the Party Leader of The Equitable Party and its presidential flag bearer for the 2027 general election at a high-profile convention in Nairobi.
Claim
An image showing Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna being shielded from several uniformed police officers has been circulating on social media.
The image appears to show a close-protection officer or bodyguard shoving a senior police officer to prevent him from reaching Sifuna.
Verdict: AI Doctored
JamiiCheck conducted a thorough investigation using digital verification tools and found that the circulating image had been altered from the original photograph using digital tools.
The image was also analyzed using various AI image detectors, which indicated a 99% likelihood that it was AI-generated or manipulated.
Although the event itself took place, the specific scene showing the bodyguard shoving a senior police officer to prevent him from reaching Sifuna was manipulated and does not accurately represent the original photograph.
