Official Twitter, Facebook, Instagram accounts, contacts for TSC, KUCCPS, KNEC, HELB, KRA, Ministries and Key personalities: Joining links

Online communication has taken centre stage with the current trends and developments in Information and communications technology (ICT). Emergence of various solid Social media platforms has taken communication by a storm. Platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have become so popular among social networks. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses; but, that is a story for another day.

Government institutions and prominent personalities have not been left behind either. They use these platforms for faster communication and sharing of very important information. Platforms mostly utilized are twitter and Facebook.

But, fraudsters have taken advantage of naive online users and they have created pseudo accounts. In fact, it is sometimes very difficult to identify a fake/ pseudo account unless an account is verified.
