KTN News engagement report
@KTNNewsKE - 886K followers on X
Measured over 144 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 23, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 886K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 144 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 15,519 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 1.4K times each, and 0.069% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.164% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 144 posts sampled, 51% carry an image or video and 54% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.1K interactions, about 4094x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ktnprime, #ktnleo, #newsdesk.

Compared with accounts its own size
KTN News's engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 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 156,839 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.022%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 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.

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 | 51% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 54% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 51% 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.
- 54% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 248 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

Richard Onyonka: The government’s responsibility is to protect its people and property. The Constitution guides how we are governed, but when it is violated and resources are mismanaged, as Kenyans, we must ask questions. #KTNPrime https://t.co/JRowOkG5lR

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

Richard Onyonka: Raila never organised violence but rather for self-defence. No one had been insulted more than Raila, but he never retaliated. I believe this exposé by KTN can help ensure that those behind the Homa Bay violence are held to account. #KTNPrime https://t.co/vFsDX3hBdS

- What is KTN News's engagement rate on X?
- KTN News (@KTNNewsKE) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 144 original posts from the last 30 days against 886,184 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 156,839 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 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 19:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.8 posts per day across the measured window.
