OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO @NEWSMAX
RE: DEMAND FOR A PUBLIC, TELEVISED APOLOGY FROM @RobFinnertyUSA OVER HIS CARELESS REMARKS ON NAIROBI
We demand that Newsmax take responsibility for the remarks made by Rob Finnerty concerning Nairobi and issue a formal, public apology to the people of Kenya.
Nairobi is not merely a name on a map. It is the capital of a sovereign Continent of Africa, a home to millions of people, a major African economic hub, and a city whose dignity deserves the same or More respect as any other major city in the world.
Freedom of expression does not exempt your incompetent staff and media organisations from accountability for remarks that demean, disrespect and or unfairly disparage other people and their communities.
Our demand is clear and non-negotiable:
1. Rob Finnerty must issue a public, televised apology on Newsmax, addressing his remarks about Nairobi.
2. The apology must be delivered with the Kenyan national flag clearly displayed in the background, as a direct gesture of respect for Kenya and its people.
3. The apology must be sincere, unambiguous, and broadcast publicly on the same platform through which the remarks reached the audience.
4. The Your Staff Must Be Wearing a Kenyan bracelet and a Kenyan Jersey failure to which we demand his resignation with immediate effect.
No private apology, written statement, social media post, or indirect expression of regret will be acceptable.
We expect Newsmax to recognise the seriousness of this matter and respond with the respect and accountability that the people of Kenya deserve.
Kenya is a sovereign nation, and Nairobi deserves to be treated with dignity. Our national pride is not negotiable, and neither is our demand for a public apology in a setting that visibly recognises the Kenyan nation.
We demand nothing less than a public, televised apology, with the Kenyan flag displayed in the background.
Respect Kenya. Respect Nairobi. Take responsibility.

SHA IS NOT WORKING ON LEVELS 5&6 OUTPATIENT SERVICES!!
Mr president i believe health insurance is supposed to cover for your treatment when you fall sick and you have no money for treatment.
Mr. President, if I don’t tell you the truth, nobody will tell you that SHA is not working for outpatient services in Level 5 and Level 6 health facilities.
Even those on referrals from Level 4 to Level 5 facilities with SHA are not getting the services as expected. It's either someone is sabotaging you or they are all incompetent.
Mr. President, when you were at KICC during the health forum on health insurance, you told Kenyans that you had put systems in place and that SHA covers all patients without paying anything at all levels. Remember, someone watching you has been told to pay for outpatient services in Level 5 and Level 6 facilities.
They will sing “Wantam,” and the reason why Kenyans sing “Wantam” is because they interact with health services and SHA every day. If health is not working, then you lose the support of your own people.
Mr. President, this is not politics. This is what Kenyans are experiencing on the ground. Please fix SHA and ensure that what you promised Kenyans is what they receive in our health facilities.

THE STANDARD GROUP PLC
PRESS STATEMENT
Nairobi, Kenya
September 1, 2026
STANDARD GROUP CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF ITS SENIOR EDITOR, DEMANDS HIS IMMEDIATE AND SAFE RELEASE
The Standard Group PLC confirms that shortly before 9:20pm this evening, our Associate Editor, Alex Kiprotich, was abducted along the Gilgil–Nakuru road while travelling to Nakuru. We do not know where he is as we issue this statement.
This is the second time in as many months that Mr Kiprotich has been targeted. On 27 June 2026, armed men in a Toyota Probox a vehicle model repeatedly linked to enforced disappearances of government critics in Kenya, tried to seize him from his car as he drove to work in Nakuru. He got away by locking his doors and driving off. That attempt came days after President William Ruto publicly criticised this Group over its coverage, and our own investigations traced the vehicle to the National Police Service's Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau. No one has ever been held to account for it.
Tonight, that threat has been carried out.
We do not believe this is a coincidence. Mr Kiprotich has been at the forefront of our editorial output, including reporting that has scrutinised the conduct of the State, and tonight's abduction bears all the hallmarks of a targeted attack on a journalist for doing his job.
We believe it may be linked to elements within the State seeking to intimidate this Group into silence. If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.
We say this plainly and without equivocation: the Standard Group holds the State responsible for Alex Kiprotich's safety and his life, and for anything that happens to him while he remains missing. Protecting the life and liberty of every citizen is the State's first duty, not an afterthought, and Mr Kiprotich's safety now rests entirely in its hands.
We are demanding:
1. The immediate, safe and unconditional release of Alex Kiprotich.
2. A prompt, transparent and independent investigation into his abduction, and into why no one has ever answered for the attempt of June 27, 2026.
3. Real, visible guarantees that journalists in Kenya will be protected, in keeping with commitments the President has already made publicly and has so far failed to honour.
We are calling on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Law Society of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and everyone who values a free press in this country, to demand answers alongside us until Mr Kiprotich is found safe.
We will keep the public informed as we learn more, and we will not let this matter quietly fade from view.
CHAACHA MWITA,
GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,
THE STANDARD GROUP PLC
