A typical post picks up 512 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 31K times each, and 1.64% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.77% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 45 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video, 11% are part of a thread and 7% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 23K interactions, about 45x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #freekizzabesigye, #freeallpoliticalprisoners, #resistlawlessness.

Compared with accounts its own size

Martha Karua's engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 61% 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 0.029%, Martha Karua sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,694 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,880 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 11:00 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 11:00 UTC.

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.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video98% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 98% 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 380 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.

    Today everyone’s getting it! They removed me from the Senate Committee on Roads, Transport & Housing where I champion inclusive transport and mobility, sustainable cities, and accessibility in the built environment for the rights of over 8 million persons with disabilities as provided for in the PWD Act of 2025. Everyday, I come to this house diligently to do my job, to execute the business of those I was brought here to represent, and I do it well even with a disability. If this is punishment by the leadership - so be it, but one thing that people ought to know is that God has a knack for turning a bad situation into a glorious occasion! 😉 #VIP

    This photo takes me back to the excitement of arriving in Nairobi as a young woman, full of hope and possibility. Nairobi was a city of opportunity then, a place where you came believing that with hard work and courage, you could build something for yourself. Much has changed since then, but young people still come to our cities carrying big dreams and the determination to make something of their lives. Kenyan Youth, 🇰🇪 You are one of Kenya’s greatest assets. Look at what you have already achieved, often with limited opportunities and against enormous odds. You have carried our flag in sport, taken our music and culture to the world, built businesses, created technology, entertained us and found ingenious ways to make a living in a harsh economy You are the majority and among the most educated generations Kenya has known. You have the knowledge, creativity and numbers to shape the direction of this country, do not let anyone convince you otherwise. They know the power you hold. The Kenya you want is not a dream too big. It is a country we can build with your generation at the centre of it. Stand strong! #InternationalYouthDay

What is Martha Karua's engagement rate on X?
Martha Karua (@MarthaKarua) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 45 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,763,731 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.029%, Martha Karua sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 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 @MarthaKarua have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range 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 @MarthaKarua post?
Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.83 posts per day across the measured window.
