No, UDA SG Veronica Maina has not called for protests in anticipation of the court’s decision.

Misleading

The notice letter circulating online, purportedly from UDA Secretary General Veronica Maina, calling for protests ahead of the Supreme Court ruling is photoshopped, as it has a grey overlay text box that has been placed on the UDA letter, which is in white.

On September 3, 2022, the SG also flagged the letter as a fake.

President-elect Dr. William Ruto pledged to respect the court ruling on Monday during an Interdenominational Prayer service at Larmudiac High School grounds in Njoro, Nakuru County on September 4, 2022.
