Wizileaks
The project investigates Kenya's long-standing issues with corruption by exposing instances of misuse of public resources and abuse of power. Through data-driven journalism, the project uncovers hidden networks, identifies patterns of misconduct, and reveals how corruption impacts Kenyan society. Wizileaks aims to foster public awareness and accountability, encouraging citizens to demand transparency and integrity from leaders.
Task
The task of the Wizileaks project was to gather, analyze, and present evidence of corruption in Kenya, focusing on how public resources are misappropriated over the years. This involved deep investigative journalism, uncovering hidden networks, and tracing financial misconduct. A major challenge faced on this project was accessing reliable information in a system where transparency is limited and records are often obscured or inaccessible. Investigative efforts were frequently hindered by resistance from officials and institutions reluctant to disclose data. Navigating these barriers required persistence, leveraging alternative sources, and adopting creative strategies to validate findings while ensuring journalistic integrity and safety.
