25th July, 2025 07:14 PM
The Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) has appealed to the members of the public for help after their Facebook page was hacked.
In a statement on Friday, July 25, 2025, KYPA urged members of the public to widely report the Facebook page, which they say has been hacked. They have also urged unsuspecting social media users not to engage with the Facebook page.
“KYPA’s official Facebook page has been hacked! Please help us by reporting it. Do not engage with the page,” a statement by the National Youth Council of Kenya reads.
Page compromised
The appeal comes just days after KYPA CEO Anthony Buluma Samba revealed that the KYPA Facebook page had been compromised.
“The Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) is deeply disturbed by the inappropriate and misleading content currently being posted on a Facebook page that previously represented our Association,” Buluma said in a press statement on July 16, 2025.
“We wish to inform the public that this page was hacked in mid-2024 and is no longer under the control or management of KYPA. Despite this, it continues to unlawfully use our official logos and branding to disseminate false, damaging, and inappropriate material,” he stated.
Matter forwarded to authorities
“We strongly urge members of the public to treat any content from that page with the contempt it deserves, as it does not in any way reflect the views, values, or activities of KYPA.”
He disclosed that the matter had been escalated to the relevant authorities, who were pursuing measures to recover the page, which he says is posting content that is inconsistent with that of KYPA.
“This matter has been formally reported to the relevant authorities, and we are actively pursuing the necessary legal and technical steps to resolve it. We appreciate your understanding and continued support,” Buluma said.
KYPA is a parliamentary caucus formed in the 9th parliament of 2004, which brings together young parliamentary leaders, typically between the ages of 18-35.
Its role is to advocate for policies that advance the issues of the youth, build the capacity of the young leaders through trainings and mentorships, and help in conducting public engagements.
