ABOUT MWENENDO
Mwenendo: business, economy and markets, with Kenya at the centre
Mwenendo is an independent business publication. We cover companies, the economy, markets, finance and money, with Kenyan business at the centre, African business next and the global economy providing the wider context. Every story is built to answer five questions: what happened, why it matters, who is affected, what the numbers say and what happens next.
What we do
Our desk runs continuously. Reporting leads are gathered from credible newspapers, broadcasters, official government and state-agency communications, and monitored public social accounts. Every lead is researched, corroborated across independent sources, written to our house style and scored for accuracy and public interest before anything is published. Stories that cannot be corroborated are not published.
How AI is used here
We are transparent about this: Mwenendo is AI-assisted. Automation helps us monitor sources, draft and structure copy, translate figures into local context and prepare summaries at speed. It does not replace editorial judgement. Human editors set the standards the system works to, review sensitive and high-risk stories, and remain accountable for what appears on the site. Where a story cannot be reported responsibly, we either pivot to verified context and analysis or we do not run it.
Verified first
Multi-source corroboration before publication, with links to original reporting.
Kenya first, Africa next, global in context
Kenyan companies and the Kenyan economy lead, with the African and global developments that move them.
Openly AI-assisted
Automation for speed; human editors for judgement, ethics and accountability.
Attribution and credit
When a story originates with another publisher, we say so in the copy and link back to them. Our Daily News Roundup exists to point readers to the best reporting across major local and international mastheads — not to replace it. We never present another newsroom's work as our own.
Independence and funding
Mwenendo is an independent business, economy and markets publication. Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial interests. Any sponsored or promotional material is labelled as such and is never mixed into news coverage.
