The irony about this is that you abducted a journalist just after this workshop 😂😂🫢

All these years, they fed us Russian, Chinese, & Iranian, propaganda when it was actually Israel.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Pay attention to how propaganda is cobstructed:

The US just deliberately bombed an Iranian wedding party, but somehow the BBC has managed to make Iran sound like the aggressor.

Oya, mnataka youths wafanye nini? Mnataka tukue goons sisi wote? You've looted the country, destroyed industries, created unemployment and still harassing young people for earning a living. Mnataka tufanye nini?

PRESS STATEMENT

Nairobi, Kenya

September 1, 2026

STANDARD GROUP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF ITS SENIOR EDITOR, DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE AND SAFE RELEASE

The Standard Group PLC confirms that shortly before 9:20pm this evening, our Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich, was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru road while travelling to Nakuru. We do not know where he is as we issue this statement.

This is the second time in as many months that Mr Kiprotich has been targeted. On 27 June 2026, armed men in a Toyota Probox a vehicle model repeatedly linked to enforced disappearances of government critics in Kenya, tried to seize him from his car as he drove to work in Nakuru. He got away by locking his doors and driving off. That attempt came days after President William Ruto publicly criticised this Group over its coverage, and our own investigations traced the vehicle to the National Police Service's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau. No one has ever been held to account for it.

Tonight, that threat has been carried out.
We do not believe this is a coincidence. Mr Kiprotich has been at the forefront of our editorial output, including reporting that has scrutinised the conduct of the State, and tonight's abduction bears all the hallmarks of a targeted attack on a journalist for doing his job.

We believe it may be linked to elements within the State seeking to intimidate this Group into silence. If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.

We say this plainly and without equivocation: the Standard Group holds the State responsible for Alex Kiprotich's safety and his life, and for anything that happens to him while he remains missing. Protecting the life and liberty of every citizen is the State's first duty, not an afterthought, and Mr Kiprotich's safety now rests entirely in its hands.

We are demanding:
1. The immediate, safe and unconditional release of Alex Kiprotich.

2. A prompt, transparent and independent investigation into his abduction, and into why no one has ever answered for the attempt of June 27, 2026.

3. Real, visible guarantees that journalists in Kenya will be protected, in keeping with commitments the President has already made publicly and has so far failed to honour.

We are calling on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Law Society of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and everyone who values a free press in this country, to demand answers alongside us until Mr Kiprotich is found safe.

We will keep the public informed as we learn more, and we will not let this matter quietly fade from view.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,

今天带爸去医院检查，我说你在柱子等我，我去拿检查结果、我回来。猛然看到那个曾经我心中的依靠，心中无所不能的爸爸像个小孩子一样一动不动的站在那等着我、心里瞬间无比难受，发现自己俨然成为了父母心中的大人，而爸爸却在自己眼中变成了小孩，当角色互换的时候，突然间有种说不出的心酸…

I had a payslip when this idiot came to power. 2022. I was earning considerably well. I would have had a family.

Right now: 4 years later, 15+ of my former colleagues are struggling. Right now I don't even even a single shilling in my savings. I used all my savings to save my life when I got Pneumonia as SHA shıt couldn't help.

Now tuko end month, sina hata income. Rent is due. My bills are due. I have a pending surgery.

What I want him to know is that he is going home. And within an year he will be in jail.

He doesn't care. We won't care when guillotine goes through him.

Not only has France assassinated 22 African leaders since 1960, it has also carried out coups in 26 African countries, and until very recently 14 African nations were being made to pay a colonial tax as reimbursement for not allowing the French to continue their colonial projects in those states. Yet the French wonder why there is still such disdain for them across the continent.

When the French were leaving their colonies in places like Guinea, they destroyed roads, schools, public administration buildings/ institutions; burned crops and books, destroyed medicines; killed off all livestock. Because none of that had been for the benefit of the locals but to aid their colonial project— they did not want them to ever have anything to gain from.
