United States-China correspondent for the Financial Times Demetri Sevastopulo has censured Kenya Airports Authority chairman Caleb Kositany for sharing a fake report regarding former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The fake report indicated that Demetri had reported in the Financial Times a story dubbed 'US Federal Reserve opens investigations on Kenya's 2014 2.75 Billion USD Euro Bond'.
According to the screenshot of the fake Financial Times newspaper, the report was the splash.
KAA boss Kositany is among the Kenyans who shared widely the screenshot on his X platform and captioned it:

"Hence the noise."
But Demtri while reacting to the screenshot dismissed the reports as false and chided the KAA boss for misleading the masses.
He denied authoring the report and said:
"This is a complete fake. I did not write any story about Kenya. Mr Kositany, I hope you are more careful about how you run your airports and you should be ashamed of spreading such."
Africa Intelligence journalist Noé Michalon also denied the report and termed it as misleading.
"This story does not exist and Demetri has never written anything on Kenya on November 28th, nor in the weeks before. The second time this day I see a senior official sharing blatant fakes. This is concerning."
