A new weekly Newspaper has been launched in Nairobi – The Champion, and I had a lengthy chat with the Managing Editor Mr. Alberto Leny in the company of their Political Editor, Mr. Onyango Oloo.

Their issue for this week is already out and you can get your copy at the newspaper venders across Kenya. If you are in Nairobi, visit the vender along Mama Ngina Street in front of the Coffee House.

What interested me is their editorial policy on content; the civil society will at long last get coverage on the various works that we do all across Kenya, even as they stay with the Kenyan issues. At least, we will have a newspaper that appreciates what we do in the most difficult of circumstances.

They are keen on working with all groups across Kenya as they bring your story out. I also managed to get a few copies for myself and as I write, I do not have even a copy to take home. That is how hot it is. They have given Vugu Vugu Mashinani a whole page at page 26, and this is very encouraging for us. Please get your copy!

I will be able to share with those who are interested the link to the current issue tomorrow. Please be on the look at for that. It is compelling and at long last, we have a weekly newspaper that will capture the imaginations of Kenyans.

Please join us in building one Kenya that fits all of us.

Peace and blessings,
