" You cannot go around receiving money from politicians – money we know is dirty – to host events and then call yourself a journalist," – Award-winning investigative journalist John Allan Namu takes issue with podcasters whose fame, he says, has gone to their heads, as they lecture Kenyans while allegedly receiving money from politicians left, right and centre!
OPERATION GHOSTBUSTERS 👻🇺🇸
Kenyan nationals used stolen American identities to commit fraud by funneling federal student aid for their own personal gain and co-conspirators overseas.
Fraudsters like these are being crushed under @WHFraudTF and @TheJusticeDept leadership.
Kenya could face internet shutdowns and media restrictions during the 2027 election, according to a new Thomson Reuters Foundation report.
The report warns this could make it harder for voters to access and verify information.
.@AAGMcDonald breaks down the results of Operation Ghostbusters—a @DOJ investigation into a large-scale federal student loan fraud scheme: "Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals."
Charity Ngilu shattered the glass ceiling in 1997 when she became Kenya’s first female presidential candidate, running a memorable campaign under the Social Democratic Party (SDP) with the slogan “Masaa Ni Ya Ngilu!”
Ngilus campaign machinery had brains like Prof Anyang Nyongo, Dr Apollo Njonjo, Dr Richard Leakey, Justus Nyang’aya and Tony Gachoka, among others.
In that election, SDP had 90 men and 13 women parliamentary candidates. 15 of them got elected into Parliament including 2 women - Ngilu and Beth Mugo.
In my opinion, this party, its agenda and its candidates stand out as one of the most progressive moments in our democracy.
Literature remains undefeated. What Ruto is doing with Talanta stadium is exactly what Mr Tumbo did in Betrayal in the city and also what Meya Majoka did in Kigogo. Organize grand events at high costs while failing to address the basic grievances of the local people
