A major loss.
@Musembi_Mutisya trained 100s of fact-checkers across Africa, while helping us build data-driven systems to better monitor elections & debunk #misinfo.
Africa's fact-checking community has lost one of its pioneers, @Musembi_Mutisya, who was @PesaCheck's Anglophone editorial assistant.
Colleagues remember Musembi, who died on October 6, as kind, helpful and meticulous.
