It has been a great experience being part of the @Globalviceversa as a media trainer on data storytelling using #OSINT tools and data visualization tools. I had so much refining community stories on human rights, health and Intersex persons. Looking forward to more collaborations

Kenya's top 10 influencers earned an estimated Ksh. 296 million from social media marketing in 2025.
Total payout to all Kenyan influencers is an estimated Ksh. 1.07 Billion. Eric Omondi leads the pack at Ksh. 57M. Amber Ray at Ksh. 44M. Dem Wa FB at Ksh. 35M
We’ve just released a research into Kenya’s Creator Economy. Here's what the data says about who's actually making money, which platforms are paying off, and where the big opportunity still lies
Justice also depends on where you live. In Kitui and Machakos, families wait an average of 7 years. In Nyandarua, Baringo, and Kwale 6 years. Even in Nairobi, it's still 4 years.
And when the system finally moves, the punishment is getting lighter. Average prison sentences have dropped from nearly 27 years in 2018 to about 16.5 years in 2025, declining by roughly 2 years annually since 2022.
When families turn to the courts, they wait. Femicide cases take an average of 4 to 6 years to reach a verdict. Some counties average 7 years. Less than 10% of murder cases reported since 2016 have reached judgment.
And it's happening where women are supposed to feel safest. In 2025, over 70% of femicide with known locations occurred in the home. But killings in public spaces have risen to roughly a quarter of cases.
One of the interesting patterns in the data is that husbands receive the lightest sentences.
An average of 17 years -- compared to 21 for other family members. Courts often cite plea bargains, "spur-of-the-moment" disputes, and the need to care for children left behind.
Femicide is a crime that particularly targets young women. Nearly two-thirds of femicide victims are aged 18–35. The most common age clusters in the mid-twenties; women at the start of careers, relationships, lives.
The killings never stop. In 2018, we recorded 147 women killed. In 2024, the number climbed to 167; the highest in a decade. In 2025, at least 102 women lost their lives.
Who is killing them? The men closest to them. Husbands have consistently been the leading perpetrators, accounting for between half and well over half of all cases across the decade. For many women, intimacy is the greatest risk factor.
A new report by researchers at The Citizen Lab says Israeli Cellebrite technology was used to break into Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi’s phone while it was in police possession when he was under arrest last year.
