Behind the byline

A journalist is your first point of contact with information that is either informative, educative and entertaining, regardless of the medium you choose to consume your news.  But have you ever asked yourself if these journalists who put themselves on the front lines to deliver news and impactful stories  are mentally okay?  One in four Kenyans suffers from mental illness, but  there is no substantive data  and research on the mental health of journalists, a gap that is now becoming more evident  in the wake of public mental health crises and appeals for help from journalists. In the spirit of ending mental health stigma and discrimination, NTV’s health and science reporter Brygettes Ngana  took the lens to her colleagues who opened up about their mental health status behind the scenes.

The bandit lands Over the last 25 years, Kenya’s expansive North Rift has been an insecurity hotspot. Countless accounts of community conflicts, resulting in deaths, injuries, livestock theft, and assaults on security personnel, have plagued the region, becoming a defining feature for thousands of residents. Efforts, pronouncements and promises to secure peace in the restive region have been an elusive task for successive Administrations, to-date. Will the latest efforts to bring development and peace in this region bring the cycle of violence to end, or will it be another chorus of promises to grant the residents a life of dignity and normalcy, but with nothing to show for it? NTV's Zainab Ismail visited the region with an aim of understanding the underlying issues, the realities on the ground and the impact of the violence to the residents of this area. This is NTV Presents: The Bandit Lands August 25, 2024

Bishop Alexander Kipsang Muge: Ultimate Price.

It is now thirty-four years since the death of then vocal ACK Bishop of Eldoret Diocese Alexander Muge that occurred through a tragic and suspicious road accident near Kipkaren river along Webuye -Eldoret highway.

At the time, the late Muge was a fierce government critic and was among prominent religious leaders who had joined forces with a section of politicians, academics, lawyers and other civil society groups, in agitating for a return to multiparty politics in the country. His death was largely seen as a political assassination as Kenya grappled with one of the darkest periods of its post-independence history. What were the circumstances surrounding his demise and how did the vocal man of the cloth meet his death? Duncan Khaemba speaks to a survivor who witnessed the late Bishop Muge breathe his last, his children who were teenagers at the time as well as a section of church leaders who knew him at a personal level. Bishop Alexander Kipsang Muge: Ultimate Price. August 18, 2024

Logs of contention: The Battle for Kenya's eucalyptus A year after the lifting of the logging ban in Kenya, local timber manufacturers are concerned about the indiscriminate cutting down of Eucalyptus trees to process veneers by foreign nationals from India and China. The eucalyptus veneers are being processed for export as raw materials to India and China. Kenyan timber manufacturers claim that the country has lost close to a billion shillings in revenue in the last three months due to Chinese and Indian timber processors failing to remit local taxes. Despite a ban on eucalyptus exports to China, NTV has established that the exports of eucalyptus veneers are ongoing. The Kenya Association of Manufacturers is warning that the uncontrolled harvesting of eucalyptus trees could jeopardize Kenya’s 15 billion tree-growing campaign to increase the country’s tree cover by 30 percent in the next decade as a climate mitigation measure. NTV’s Health and Science reporter, Brygettes Ngana, provides insights into the intricacies behind the eucalyptus veneer business that is depleting the country's tree reserves and revenue, on #LogsOfContention.
