KTN News engagement report
@KTNNewsKE - 882K followers on X
Measured over 99 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 882K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 99 original posts, its engagement rate beats 1% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.5K times each, and 0.069% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.165% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 99 posts sampled, 39% carry an image or video and 64% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 95 interactions, about 95x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #scoreline, #newsdesk.

Compared with accounts its own size
KTN News's engagement rate beats 1% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 5% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At under 0.001%, KTN News sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

More questions than answers surround the company at the centre of the new police uniform supply, after its listed Nairobi office could not be traced and its postal address was found to be shared with an established auditing firm and a property business linked to President William Ruto’s family. https://t.co/hyDRSSTNgA

More questions than answers surround the company at the centre of the new police uniform supply, after its listed Nairobi office could not be traced and its postal address was found to be shared with an established auditing firm and a property business linked to President William Ruto’s family. Nalitex Limited, the company identified as the main supplier of the new police uniforms, was incorporated on May 3, 2024, barely two years before the new attire was unveiled by President Ruto at the Kenya Police Training College in Kiganjo. https://t.co/D37tzZsKUs

The United Nations defines enforced disappearance as an act of state terror. Historically associated with military dictatorships' rule, it is used by authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent by placing individuals beyond legal protection. In Kenya, recent disappearances have primarily targeted terrorism suspects, alleged criminals, and anti-government protesters, most of whom were released without charge. https://t.co/0GhcqJXF9B

OPINION: The good news, however, is that ODM can still redeem itself by addressing the ‘six elephants’ in its closet. First, some insiders have become a burden, and Dr Oburu must rein them in. The likes of chairperson Gladys Wanga, MPs Peter Kaluma, George Aladwa, our very own ‘Judas Iscariot’ and others whose public speeches have become proud and less persuasive, should rethink their messaging. https://t.co/YxnsutahUh

- What is KTN News's engagement rate on X?
- KTN News (@KTNNewsKE) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 99 original posts from the last 30 days against 882,156 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At under 0.001%, KTN News sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @KTNNewsKE have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 1% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @KTNNewsKE post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.3 posts per day across the measured window.
