We separate facts from mendacities.
Kenya Insights is an independent Kenyan publication for news analysis, opinion and investigative journalism, reporting on money, power and public institutions since 2016.
What we do
Most of what matters in public life happens on paper: in tenders, court filings, company registries and bank trails. Our newsroom reads the paper so you don't have to, and publishes what it finds, with the documents to back it.
How we work
Every investigative claim we publish is grounded in documents, records or first-hand accounts, and the people we report on are given the opportunity to respond before publication. When we get something wrong, we correct it visibly, not quietly.
Opinion is kept separate from reporting. A column argues; a news story shows its evidence. You will always be able to tell which one you are reading.
Independence
Kenya Insights is editorially independent. No story is commissioned, softened or withheld at the request of an advertiser, a politician or a business interest, and the stories that make powerful people uncomfortable are usually the reason this publication exists.
Work with us
We accept guest contributions: exposés, news tips, story angles and human-interest pieces. If you want to be published on one of Kenya's most authoritative platforms, or you hold documents that belong in the public record, write to the newsroom.
