I think the ministry of healthy team should advise minister Jane aceng to verify and single out the facebook account she uses and which people must visit if the have to get official updates! She must make sure that people differentiate what is the official account from fake ones!!! I remember recently someone used a fake twit alleging that the president had ordered for a total lock down and many people were nearly taking the info as true until a group responsible alerted the president of the circulating fake info
.This period of Covid19 fight is being keenly followed by every ugandan and everyone us trying to visit such social media accounts of people like the minister of healthy Jane acheng!!!It will be helpful if she sets up an official account with and marked by the blue tick!!!I know this may look simple but depending on the fake twit that almost got everyone worried of how the president could immidiately order for a lock down.and the circulating fake news of the food distributions, then an official account has to be created!!!
When i try or start investigating something especially on this internet then know that there are some suspicious elements who are planning to spread such fake information! Imagine now that someone was sending fake emails pretending to be her
,Ugandans should be careful of these messages and UCC must compel all girvenment officials to have their social media accounts verified....
......And this is the valid,and true page of minister Jane aceng....anyone who was asking of the real page where to get real information on covid19 should always visit it....

The verified badge appears next to a Facebook Page or account’s name in search and on the profile. It means Facebook has confirmed that an account is the authentic presence of the public figure, celebrity, or global brand it represents.
What are the requirements to apply for a verified badge?
We look at a number of factors when evaluating Facebook accounts to determine if they're in the public interest and meet our verification criteria.
In addition to following Facebook’s terms of service, your account also needs to be:
- Authentic: Your account must represent a real person, registered business or entity.
- Unique: Your account must be the unique presence of the person or business it represents. Only one account per person or business may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific accounts. We don't verify general interest accounts (example: Puppy Memes).
- Complete: Your account must be active and have an about section, profile photo and at least one post.
- Notable: Your account must represent a well-known, often searched person, brand or entity. We review accounts that are featured in multiple news sources, and we don't consider paid or promotional content as sources for review.
Keep in mind that if you provide false or misleading information during the verification process, we will remove your verified badge and may take additional action to delete your account.
If your account doesn't meet the criteria for a verified badge, there are other ways to let people know it's authentic. For example, you can link to it from an official website, Instagram profile or Twitter account.
How do I request a verified badge?
You can submit a request by filling out a contact form.
If your account represents a person, you’ll need a copy of your official government-issued photo identification (example: passport, driver's license, national identification card) to validate your request. If your account represents an organization, you’ll need a copy of a phone or utility bill, a certificate of formation, articles of incorporation, or tax exemption documents. Please also include a few sentences explaining why the account should receive the verified badge, and relevant URLs that help illustrate the account's notability.
You'll receive a notification once we review your request. Please don't submit more than one request for your account. For denied requests, you can submit a new request after 30 days.
