IPOA engagement report
@IPOA_KE - 375K followers on X
Measured over 14 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 2, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 16 interactions against 375K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 23% of 21,185 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 3.5K times each, and 0.438% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.944% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 7% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 100 interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #homeofhardtruths, #thepeoplesbreakfast, #citizensundaylive.

Compared with accounts its own size
IPOA's engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 28% 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 0.004%, IPOA sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,925 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 93% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 7% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 93% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 7% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 334 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Dr. Duncan Ojwang Oburu has today taken charge of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) after being sworn in as the fourth Chairperson of the Board of the Authority since its establishment in 2012. In a ceremony presided over by Chief Justice and President of the Supreme Court of Kenya, Hon. Justice Martha Koome, the oath of office was administered by Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, Hon. Winfridah Mokaya, at the Supreme Court. Dr. Ojwang, who was appointed by H.E. President William Ruto following approval by Parliament, will lead the Authority for a six-year term. Speaking during the ceremony, Chief Justice Koome urged Dr. Ojwang to lead IPOA with humility, courage, independence, fairness and impartiality, and ensure that policing is conducted professionally, lawfully and with dignity. She emphasised that strong institutions are central to upholding the Constitution and called for collaboration and cooperation among institutions and stakeholders in serving Kenyans. Dr. Ojwang succeeds Hon. Justice Ahmed Issack Hassan, who relinquished the Chairpersonship in February 2026 following his appointment as a Judge of the Court of Appeal. Following the swearing-in ceremony, Dr. Ojwang proceeded to the Authority, where he was received by the Board, Management and staff. He emphasised the importance of collaboration in improving policing and noted that citizens deserve to be policed with dignity and professionalism. He pledged to work with the Board, staff, stakeholders and the public in implementing IPOA’s Strategic Plan and assured Kenyans that under his leadership, “truth will be spoken to power.”

- What is IPOA's engagement rate on X?
- IPOA (@IPOA_KE) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 14 original posts from the last 30 days against 375,298 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, IPOA sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,925 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 @IPOA_KE have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter 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 @IPOA_KE post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.03 posts per day across the measured window.
