"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. @YoungMPsKenya @HonIreneKasalu @AnthonyBuluma @SheiMasinde @TIKenya @David_Indeje

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. @QueenterMbori @YoungMPsKenya @SheiMasinde @TIKenya @AnthonyBuluma @Gitonga_Mukunji

" The #media serves as the vigilant guardian and truth-teller of the community, possessing the power to shape society positively or negatively. We believe in incentivizing the media to uncover important stories, and we will persist in our support as we enhance accountability."- Hon. Gitonga Mukunji , @Gitonga_Mukunji, MP, Manyatta Constituency & Chairman- @YoungMPsKenya.
