MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this is the genuine website of KEVEVAPI, a parastatal institution under Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. The domain has existed for over 8 years, aligns with the institute's founding date, and appears on official government sites including parliament.go.ke, the eCitizen portal, and the Kenya Veterinary Board stakeholder list. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious flags. The institute maintains active social media presence (Facebook, X, LinkedIn) and a physical office in Embakasi, Nairobi. Web research found three independent references confirming the institute's legitimacy and zero scam or complaint reports. The only minor UX element is a feedback survey modal, which is standard practice and poses no security risk.

Domain & Encryption

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on kevevapi.or.ke and not a lookalike like k-evevapi.or.ke.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
