175,843 (4.5%)
The population count matches Sierra Leone’s 2015 census, but the percentage does not: 175,843 Kissi is 2.5% of the population, not 4.5%.
Full reasoning
This entry appears to mix a correct headcount with an incorrect percentage. Statistics Sierra Leone’s 2015 Population and Housing Census table on ethnicity lists Kissi = 175,843 and 2.5% of the household population. That means the 175,843 figure is consistent with the official census, but the accompanying 4.5% is not.
Because the post presents the number and percentage together as one fact, the combined claim is inaccurate: the official census supports 175,843 (2.5%), not 175,843 (4.5%).

250,273 (4.8%)
Liberia’s latest official census reports the Kissi population as 227,654 (4.3%), not 250,273 (4.8%).
Full reasoning
The numbers shown here do not match Liberia’s most recent official census. Table A7 of the 2022 Liberia Population and Housing Census Final Results lists the Kissi ethnic group at 227,654 people, representing 4.3% of Liberia’s population.
That directly contradicts the post’s claim of 250,273 (4.8%). Since the post gives the figures without a date qualifier, readers would reasonably take them as current population figures, but the latest official census shows different values.

mano
`Mano` is not the native name of the Kissi people; it is the name of a different ethnolinguistic group. Scholarly sources identify Kissi self-designations as forms like `kisi` or `gisi`.
Full reasoning
This infobox label is incorrect. Scholarly linguistic sources on the Kissi/Kisi people say the people call themselves kisi or gisi and list alternate forms such as Kisi, Kissi, Kisie, Kisiye, Kissien, Gizi, Gisi, and Gissi.
By contrast, Mano is the name of a different language and ethnolinguistic group in Guinea and Liberia. A peer-reviewed paper in Frontiers in Psychology describes Mano as “a Southern Mande language” spoken in Guinea and Liberia. So presenting mano as the native name of the Kissi people conflates two distinct groups.
