The eh. Good. Luck. The 2nd time in office has been a series of corruption. Run systems do something. Gone on to give you the right number 6 anonymous healthcare in the country despite your bouncing up can be one of the big 4 telling us the lottery night restaurants are going to house arrest and justice to me and. My name is john allan im im a kenyan investigative journalist based in nairobi and im the cofounder of africa im censored afrikaans on sunday is an investigative and indepth journalism collective our goal is to show africa as it really is the good the bad the ugly the potential. In kenya unfortunately for many years and i think even before donald trump sort of like popularized the phrase fake news the government has been involved in the business of lying. Probably. The challenge of being able to find the truth in this country is that everything is polluted sized in this way our politics has interfered with even the simplest of things i think the 2nd is corruption and corruption starts from the top and many of those corrupt people are sitting on the top of government so that means that the information that youre seeking will only be as true as the person who is giving it to you. More as well press freedom day is being celebrated in Addis Ababa Ethiopia thats where the world will call gets to morrow for that matter simply International Food rationing during the season 28914 and this will be for dennis what can what was the state of media intended thats what winter getting to do in the program thats what weve called i guess yet how bad its gotten and how dennis navigate you know in a position in a situation where they feel that those in authority or pick in how they transact thats a difficult question to answer especially in this country because were perceived to be the free media in the region but i really think we need to have a more substantive and more long running discussion about whats happening in the counties ok because thats where the people are really at the coalface theyre you know and theyre facing very powerful individuals who operate with impunity and very often threaten the lives of journalists would you recommend more journalists explore independent journalism the path you took a couple of years back for sure journalists are consistently having to deal with what is a government not to thats supposed to be the oficial not a t. V. Up on which journalists sometimes you like to be able to tell the public whats going on if that official narrative it self cant be trusted then it makes journalists work that much harder. When i was in Mainstream Media a number of things happened from about 2012 on ones my own view that i should go out on my own which is you were in a minute i think and the 1st thing that that did take place was that we became targets. Of the state in terms of trying to suppress the kind of information that we were producing. In 2014 we we produced an investigative report about the 2013 general election and my boss my bosss boss clearly told me dont challenge the president the fact that i as a journalist was told that you can go this far and no further in a company that was supposed to uphold the values of Public Interest that didnt sit well with me and thats where my colleagues and i decided to found afrikaans and said and step out. 2 years ago i received an email and the person on the other and told me that they had. A very Interesting Data set that would give me an understanding of how corruption really works in Public Finance management and i really feel that the information that this person wanted to give me was indeed true. So the data set we received sure that this got up networks in many many places but the police if we chose to focus our attention on was in the ministry of health because this is one of the president s key pillars for delivery to the public and it seems as if its either been hijacked or it was formulated to steal from this country warning. You guys. All right beauty now and the Wealth Managers were looking at. People who were no managing this well for seems that seems to be lost money and the connections to these 263 companies so now joy in terms of you work the lead in a lot of questions our investigation started. On news that we questioned at the time we didnt think that it was fake news but as weve investigated its become very clear that certain aspects of what the government was seeing regarding the medical Equipment Leasing scheme are indeed feelings. Beauty is our head of data shes a statistician and shes very very good at looking at peter certain trying to extract meaning from that. Security has been doing quite a bit of research looking into people who are we are calling Wealth Managers. Well calling them Wealth Managers because at the time we werent absolutely sure whether these people were conduits for corrupt proceeds all of the things they believe that all that helped manage those corrupt networks i give would take would be what of ific you would be joining. Is looking at what the impact of what the seeing is on the public so enjoy walt and find many of the human stories that youll see in our report. And. Im not sure what it was i mean i think i would be blunt it would get you know i mean. I think that it would not let you do what. I did not what i did i love i did you know i did not know that i met you and you know. What theres nothing you cannot do that i dont think ive. Got the. Right now on my monkey on a story that hes focusing on the medical scheme that you know was introduced to the country by our government. Isnt been a battle about this equipment because not for me to get why sure how much has been spent so. My responsibilities to work on a story that sure is public is obvious that you know how can you as i may be paying for something that theyre not you know benefiting from. At times the keys so difficult to not to get emotionally attached for this particular story i have seen very desperate situations where someone is seeking but they come to bail for one of the little pain killers to be able to. Relieve some of that. So happy i guess you just. Find a job to reassess. Doing the legit. Best. But its not living in your plan b. Assigning me. The. Console. You. Cervical. You know telling the publishers will come out on a surgical console going to 22. 00. Months or so of little difficulty in going to. Number. One who support them being the burn. Im from. Mozambique return to. Britain and so. On luton. Is. Going to amman. Jordan. My moms. Going to. Actually. Watch a. Lot of her. Yes and. Yes this is. Going to. Do many just to have it embarrass his work with cancer and who. Doesnt this mean when he was saying im going to be i mean its you know i mean were were like youre good you know so i can watch didnt happen. Janet up or down gas on us and i knew but i mean a quest people. Again i must get back to. Get on both a q it. Means. I can now take another look one of the but i got a good idea. Im going to make when i was is that im glad im out. And this weapon at. What to do is to establish whether. Whether shes on one to find out if shes there and to find out how she gets to engage in it with these Companies Make lets take a tailored step process so the dates of his opera by shipping terms like today is than a big issue for each sort that there is there is an ethical issue with it but why were not getting in this phrase because we already have the primo rushy every day and its only about us running up of a of the going and how we couldnt do it every year i didnt get the information much as it feels internally on a comfortable that you know youre going to be putting somebody on the sports next week that not essentially is organizing these rights or you dont want youre looking for the truth and the truth sometimes can be uncomfortable for people to reveal. And we might not like you for it in writing but i can guarantee you this case. I think you will make you for it but when we spend the last couple of months and moving it is specifically you who has been very fine but what we have been doing is true were going to confirm it with the present was at the center of it but youll be fine yeah so ok then i was thinking of a call from the beginning of a conversation you had just just be natural being with a fast game to really do such an investigation i feel now have are scared and and im floating the boat or to be at it and i also feel. That it is it tonight is what im doing is it. Should they just go in just as go all the gory johns they really at their pretending. I feel i feel like i was just going to this thing to finish and move on. What you found out for phrase by way i mean. Billions of money that is unexplained because some of the transactions were seeing are going to kill us that a petition that will be men and this provision our own country that there must be a government official. Effecting these is transactions. The numbers never lie the biggest challenge is there is to access that to the attack. Days of course effort to make sure that that data is not accessible to their public. So that whenever there is provide vanda about something then we have something to contact that we have if we didnt but if you dont really have that information what else can you do. You find that even some of the journalist having to be part of the fic news as we know because theres not not access to the truth. Oh. You know being here. Then 2 minutes in green and this nice kid. You know. A. Little peer so youre like a Company Secretary to Many Companies that is an ikea i have as many air networks as i inch or you look i wasnt doing a beating but i suspect that even though she was motherly she is very subjective exactly this is a 1st and but we need to think only about what question. Now weve gone from going to possibly zap us an opportunity from an office in town and that seems to be the person whos doing this next step after this im after making more confirmations will be not going to give a way to respond saying we have you know looked through this bit of we have seen images connected 260 i go up and i think if 100 now it in from the next guy was your trouble how bad was. The bad person. Im upset in how the next step is going to go but you have to get rid of response about what youre writing in a story so definitely when they want to talk not we still have to go back and get her view about all of these facts that we have about her. I wish i knew what was going to happen when we publish my hope is that once they see that they will start to question the government very seriously specifically about something that is as close to the heart of kenyans as health care. For the government itself to be involved in this for something as sensitive as health care is not only worrying it really be fines the times that we live in with regard to war and you know of course truth where anybody especially people with the kind of machinery to push out certain information coming out of millions of people believe in a lie when the truth is far different. Today will play before the island went off the boy and now found ways over there thinking about their questions that they wanted to ask end of a confirmation that i wanted to make and i was thinking how how does this go. Which is the best way to get this information from my emad in i think you are. What if this becomes legally. Crucifying were to get. People to harass me. But if she finds out that i have this information about her so i feel quite gerund and quite unsure of our things will go. I feel like if it came out as african 10000 weve are going to think our this or that bandaid are now allowed and they see him doing these things. So im not sure what weve heard or think if they know such as my brother like me i was part of it for medicine to do their story and know that theres good and impact but i dont know and many were made i do know better theyve. Had over. This period how are you today. You had to meet this week. I think i didnt realize that sometimes i put it into something if you want to be fabulous i think i forgot to remove it so i. Can image tomorrow i wanted to come with one of my batman being the. No problem so see you tomorrow. How i think you. And i. Feed news and the use of false information has become somewhat of a primary pillar of governmental state strategy whenever they want to do something branding things a freak news is very effective to be because as long as you can continually discredit the media the public looks at stories and are like should i really trust this even know journalists i worked hard to try and verify the information. So its the. Journalists who do or see you the truth often get ostracized some journalists when pursuing stories that would bring the government in a bad light or would expose them ive been arrested have been the focus of entrapment so seeing that my work and my profession might put me in harms way scares me it does but i think that the key to all of journalism. Is that we publish was things that people dont want published even if it doesnt mean that we are scared because at the moment that citizens of the information that be required to lead their lives thats when positive change happens. They go to this one. I came. To that. This is a very really Good Opportunity for me to use my skills for ones for humanity. Trying. To get that debt for a number. Grow just that it didnt give last time what i got you might be good for guns and stuff so theres often a. Perfect. In the investigation if. I feel that people mentioned in this story it me me put to better sources together to create enough to punish us because of it because it touches on the fields of people in power. In the gun on computer you think. You might not nor the person. Youre doing this story for. About possible for him to do what and one be about possible find just to see frankie. For. Citizens are going to be expecting the house forming a clear show this. Artist says they need somebody to explain to them what is happening out there for whatever reason. For that want to be taken out there is nothing like that took so long i tell what colors of that. I feel it is worth to sacrifice i think one day when. When caught up sure if you do see this it may be near to the minute hand i was going to end having taken but in my own little way. I mean you out on the streets protesting whether you feel the weight of the system. Or. To the jail or if you join us on. A has to start from day one whether again youre in detention or your own car this is a dialogue everyone has a voice from the studies that support the article but i want to give people the reason for joining the global conversation.
