to be the one mph anonymous healthcare in the country especially most of them can be one of the big 4 telling us their love is a night stand and somehow sometimes that just is me and. my name is john allen i'm i'm a kenyan investigative journalist based in nairobi and i'm the co-founder of africa uncensored african sense and is an investigative and in-depth 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 to its public. the challenge of being. able to find the truth in this country is that everything is politicized 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 you're simply 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 that's where the world will call gets to moral for that matter simply international federation of journalists even 20914 and that's what i do for dennis what killed what was the state of media and that's what we interrogate him to do on the program that's what we've called i guess you have to have at his cousin and how dennis navigate in that you know in a position in a situation where they feel that those in authority or pic in how they transact that's a difficult question to answer especially in this country because we're 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 what's happening in the

counties ok because that's where the people are really at the coalface they're you know and they're 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 of that supposedly the oficial not a diva on which journalists sometimes you like to be able to tell the public what's going on if that official not a to be self can't 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 good to see you 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 boss's boss clearly told me don't challenge the president the fact that i as a journalist was told that you can go this far and no further in the company that was supposed to uphold the values of public interest that didn't sit well with me and that's where my colleagues and i decided to found africa uncensored and step out. 2 years ago

i received an e-mail 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 ready for that the information that this person wanted to give me was indeed true. so the data set we receive sure us that is caught 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 it's either been hijacked or it was formulated to steal from this country warning. you guys. all right beauty now in the wealth managers were looking out to people who were no

managing this well for seems that seems to be lost on you and the connections to these $263.00 companies so no joy in terms of impact the leonine a lot of questions our investigation started. on news that we questioned at the time we didn't think that it was fake news but as we've investigated it's become very clear that certain aspects of what the government or seeing regarding the medical equipment leasing scheme are indeed feet means. beauty is ahead of data she's a statistician and she's very very good at looking at data set and 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. we're calling them wealth managers because at the time we weren't absolutely sure whether these people were conduits for corrupt proceeds all of the deeply but all

that helped money was corrupt networks a good would be would be what of if it would be joy. is looking at what we impact of what the beater you seeing is on the public so enjoy walt and find many other human stories that you'll see in the report. but i'm not sure what it was i mean i think i would be blunt it would get you know i mean. i think it would welcome. i don't know what i did i don't you know i don't you know. and you know. what they're not but i you cannot you cannot i don't think i think what. we.

know. right now i'm walking on a story that he's focusing on the medical scheme that you know was introduced to the country by our government is benumbed bottle about the supreme because not defaming you why sure how much is being spanked so far. my responsibility to walk on a story that shows public it's obvious that you know how king is i mean being for something that they're not you know benefiting from. at times they tease so difficult to not to get emotionally attached for this particular story i have seen very desperate situations where someone is seeking but they cannot you can afford a little pain killers to be able to. relieve some of that pain. so

how can i guess you just. find a joke to reassess. doing the narrative. best player for simply living in your plan b. assigning me i'm both so cool going to work. because it's. called require a. doctorate in the congress will know when i saw the whole concept of going to 22. or so political game. number. one of them being a bunch. of kimba couldn't. turn to. didn't turn. on the

religion. is. going to amman. jordan and all. my forms is mostly due. to poor actually and will have just as i was. in the market has faced since for. a given time and i. have used this opinion. yes. you mean it is to have a medium build his work with cancer and virgin atlantic meaning when the tsunami will be are limited and i may actually be very lucky or google me so i can watch the novice jaded up and down gas and as a new part i mean a question. again i must get back to some

good on both acuity. i can now do tonight i love one of the but i gotta. go i'm going to make when i was is that i'm glad i got mad. at. what to do is to establish whether. whether she's on one to find out if she's there and to find out how she gets to engage exactly these companies make let's take

a tailored step process so that the dictates of his opera by shipping and the like today is than a big issue for each thought that there is there is an ethical issue with it but why we're navigating in this way has we already have the primo rushy every day and it's only about us rounding up are they of the going to end how we couldn't do it every color you didn't get the information much as it feels internally on a constable that you know you're going to be putting somebody on the sports next week that that essentially is organizing these rights or you don't want you're 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 what will we spend the past couple of months and in doing is specifically you has been very fine but what we have been doing is trying we're going to confirm it with the present was at the center of it

but you'll be fine yeah so ok then i was thinking of a constable beginning of a conversation you know just you know just be a natural being with a fast game to. do such an investigation i feel now of are scared and and i'm floating in the boat or to me at that and i also feel. that it is it tonight is what i'm doing is it. should they just go in just as go all the garage or arms they really at their retail being. i feel i feel like i was just going to this thing to finish and move on. what you found out for phrase quite well by way i mean. billions of money that is

unexplained because some of the transactions we're seeing are 2 of the key last that a petition that will be men's 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 3 to access that to data. 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 counter that we have if we didn't but if you don't really have that information what else can you do. now you find that even some of the journalist having to be better if we can use as a view because there's not not access to the truth. oh

my. oh. yes. you know i don't think i went to anything going into this nice kid to mom. you know like you better a. little here so you're like company secretary too many companies that if they can i have as many air networks as i emerge or you know ok i was in there in a meeting but i suspect that even though she was mother she was very sad take to exactly this is the 1st and but we need to think clearly about what question

because now we've gone from going to possibly zap us an operation from an office in town and that seems to be the person who is doing that business the next step after he said enough to make you know confirmations will be not to go and give a way to respond say look we have you know look through this bit of we have seen major connected 260 i don't think i think if 100 now returned from this next guy what was your dream about how bad it was like. a bad person. i'm not certain how the next step is going to go but you have to get rid of response about what you're writing in a story so definitely that you want to talk or not we still have to go back and get her view about all of this. factor that we have about how. 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 a government itself to be involved in this for something a sensitive well 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 can have millions of people believing a lie when the truth is far different. today

will that play before they are long wind of bad boy in our found ways over there thinking about the questions that they wanted to ask our end of a confirmations that i wanted to make and i was thinking how how does this go. which is the best we to get this information from i imagine 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 i feel quite gay and. and quite unsure of how things will go. i feel like if it came out as african 10 times we were going to bring our this or

that band-aid on our land and they still him doing these things so i'm not sure what people would think if they know so there's more buzz on like me i was part of it for medicine to do their story and know that there's good and impact but i don't know and maybe one day that i do know both of them if. i don't. this is directly how are you today. you had to meet this week. i think i didn't realize that sometimes though but if you do 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. i think you. know i.

fit news i'm a useful false information has become somewhat of a primary pillar of governmental state strategy whenever they want to do something branding things or freak uses very effective to be because as long as you can continually discredit the media the public looks up stories that are like. should i really trust this even know journalists i worked hard to try and verify the information. for this or it's the. journalists who do pursue the truth often get ostracized by some journalists when pursuing stories that would paint the government in a bad light or would expose them have been arrested have been the focus of entrapment so seeing that my work and my profession might put me in harm's way

scares me it does but i think that the rule of journalism is that we publish those things that people don't want published even if it doesn't mean that we are scared because at the moment that citizens have the information that they require to lead their lives that's when positive change happens. they got to this one. i came. to that. this is a vision a really good opportunity for me to use my skills for ones for humanity.

trying this you decide to do that for a number. grade just that it did give last time i got you right now. so it's because of anything. in the investigation if. i feel the people mentioned in this story to hear me me pretentiousness has to give a critter enough to punish us because because it touches on the field yes of people in power. in the gun and computer you think.

you might not know the person. you're doing this story for. about a person find it in order and one be about possible find just to see funky. citizens are out there be expecting to have so many creationists. are says they need somebody to explain to them what is happening out there for whatever reason. for that want to take in all things nothing like that took so long lead to what colors are for them.

i feel it is worth their sacrifice i think one day when. when caught up your if you do see this it may be near to the minute turned. on parent having taken but it may only be can wait. i thought this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of tonic billeted and if you can give them the opportunity wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest situations are the most impactful that they are. yet. the main things that sets out 0 apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people not about ideas or politicians or what

they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok to be a little more complicated operations probably if this is not an act of creation i mean i don't know if the office of the work you're doing here is amazing but there are so many fossils and it feels like this is just a dent what with your relationship with joe di normal we're ok but certainly. this job isn't just about what's on a script or a piece of paper it's about what's happening right now. for you protesting about how is this incursion whether online why face minstrelsy directly address what its flavor or if you join us on sam's this is an attack on academic freedom and on our ability to do research and teach freely this is a dialogue myanmar's not making it very welcoming for people to come back everyone

has a voice on this change is real the discussion is real and i'm here to talk about the solutions on al-jazeera many countries aren't keeping up with their commitments to stop our planet's heating up can they achieve anything at the un climate change conference in madrid. as representatives from over $200.00 countries gather for a cop $25.00 join us for special coverage on al-jazeera. living in a war zone is a risk not worth taking for most. but for a 10 year old boy there is nowhere else to go. in the absence of his parents his grandmother dedicates herself to his upbringing. never knowing whether the next explosion. will echo one step closer to the place they call home. the distant barking of dogs a witness documentary on al-jazeera.
