Confusion in Huruma as Kennedy Kaunda Spotted in Mbuthia, Claims of Intoxication Emerge

Journalists say a reporter who had been covering the recent Gen Z maandamano videos has been found dead in what police suspect to be poisoning.

The journalist was discovered in his house after colleagues raised concern when he failed to report for work for two days.

According to neighbours, the journalist was last seen alive on Sunday evening. They said he appeared normal but looked tired after several days of working on protest footage shared on social media.

His work involved collecting videos and interviewing witnesses of the Gen Z protests that have been happening in different parts of the country.

Police officers who visited the scene said they found no signs of forced entry. They also recovered items believed to be important for investigations, including a phone and a laptop.

The body was moved to the mortuary pending postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.

Family members expressed shock over the incident and called for a thorough investigation. They said the journalist had no known enemies and was dedicated to his work.

Media stakeholders have also urged authorities to speed up investigations and ensure justice is served if foul play is confirmed.

Authorities have not given official confirmation on the cause of death but said preliminary findings point to possible poisoning. They noted that samples have been taken for toxicology tests.

Detectives are also reviewing the journalist’s recent assignments and online activity to establish whether he received any threats linked to his reporting.

Media freedom groups have raised concern over the incident, saying journalists covering protests face growing risks. They called on security agencies to protect reporters and ensure freedom of the press is respected.

The case has attracted attention from the public, with many demanding transparency in the investigation and swift action against anyone found responsible. The investigation is ongoing as the country awaits more details from the authorities.
