To arrive to this conclusion, the IVerify Network of Fact-Checking Desks has conducted the following process. A reverse image search on the image reveals that the original billboard, owned by Firmbridge Advertising and shared by the advertising agency on its official Facebook page on May 23, 2022, advertised a ‘Furaha Festive Feast’ offer by KFC, an American fast food restaurant chain, with an image of a bucket of chicken, fries, soda, and coleslaw for Sh1600. We contacted the advertising agency, who confirmed that the image had been manipulated and that the billboard was indeed located along Kiambu Rd.
