Data transforms raw info into stories that drive change! Had an incredible time training journalists in the Horn of Africa on data journalism fundamentals. Empowering media to analyse & visualise data is vital for robust, fact-based reporting. Huge thanks to @MiCT for support.

Kenyan police have turned Nairobi into a war zone, using tear gas, flash bangs and water cannon trucks indiscriminately against mostly peaceful protesters.

"Investigative journalism has proven to be an effective tool in exposing financial crimes including tax evasion, money laundering, and misappropriation of public funds.
However, many journalists lack the necessary protection, resources, and legal support to undertake this high-risk work. hence the Whistleblower Protection Bill is very vital." -@QueenterMbori, ED @AMWIK.

[Association of Media Women in Kenya @AMWIK]

Journalists and media professionals play a vital role in uncovering corruption, illicit financial flows (#IFFs), and governance failures.

Despite their critical work, journalists, along with whistleblowers, often encounter threats, intimidation, and legal challenges stemming from inadequate whistleblower protections and restrictive media regulations.

We are this morning convening a diverse group of stakeholders for an essential dialogue aimed at strengthening the legal and operational frameworks that support #journalists and #whistleblowers in Kenya.
