On air in Nairobi: The centre of the storm

We’re going to be broadcasting from a neighbourhood of Kibera called Olympic. It witnessed some of the worst violence anywhere in the country after the election.

The visible and shocking scars of January’s post-election violence made it much more so. You can see pictures of our venue here.

Is it ever acceptable to pay a bribe?

No issue sits at the front of Kenyan’s minds more than corruption, and in this case their involvement in it.
