Content creators in Kenya will earn money from postings on Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram from June this year following a deal between President William Ruto and the firm’s president of global affairs Nick Clegg.

In a dispatch following a meeting at State House in Nairobi, the presidential press service said the development is a culmination of a year-long push by the government to have creators earn from their online content as they do on other platforms such as YouTube and X (formerly Twitter).
