  • IN SHORT: A reverse image search reveals that the photo of a highway was snapped in Singapore, not Kenya’s Laikipia county. A photo of a double-decker highway – one road elevated, another running beneath it – with high-rise buildings next to it is circulating on Facebook. It’s being posted with the claim that it shows an expressway in Kenya. Expressway from Nyahururu town to Kinamba, a typical caption reads. Hizo heights unaona hapo ni za Ndururumo High School! This road was built at a whooping cost of 59Billion! The Kiswahili roughly translates as: The multistoried buildings you see in the photo belong to Ndururumo High School. Nyahururu is a town in Kenya’s Laikipia county , about 50 kilometres south of the town of Kinamba . It is home to Ndururumo High , a state boarding school. The photo and its description has been posted on Facebook pages and groups with thousands of followers and members . But does it really show a highway and school buildings in Kenya? We checked. Section of highway in Singapore July 2022 saw the launch of the Nairobi Expressway, a 27-kilometre highway running from the west of Nairobi , the capital, through the city centre to its southeastern side. Local media reported it cost KSh88 billion. But no similar project exists in Kenya. Using a reverse image search , we found the photo on several photography websites. They all describe it as showing a highway in Singapore , a country in southeast Asia. The photo doesn’t show an expressway connecting Nyahururu to Kinamba. No such highway exists. (en)
