Peter Njenga: The bold, bruised bishop
Anglican Bishop Emeritus Peter Njenga who holds the record of the longest serving provost at the All Saints Cathedral has been described as ‘The Iron Bishop’ with nine lives in his book set to be launched on Thursday evening at the cathedral. The retired bishop is best remembered for housing the 18 women who championed the release of political prisoners movement as they camped at the all saints cathedral for 11 straight months until government released their sons and husbands from detention. Apart from his run-ins with the government, the retired bishop always speaks of betrayal by the very church he served with zeal and zest, his first wife dying by suicide at the cathedral, his near quitting church service as a result of the government accusing him of killing his wife and setting up an inquest in 1990 which is still in court 33 years later.
Duncan Khaemba interviewed the Bishop and in this special report, The Bold Bruised Bishop.
A journalist is your first point of contact with information that is either informative, educative and entertaining, regardless of the medium you choose to consume your news. But have you ever asked yourself if these journalists who put themselves on the front lines to deliver news and impactful stories  are mentally okay?  One in four Kenyans suffers from mental illness, but  there is no substantive data and research on the mental health of journalists, a gap that is now becoming more evident in the wake of public mental health crises and appeals for help from journalists. In the spirit of ending mental health stigma and discrimination, NTV’s health and science reporter Brygettes Ngana took the lens to her colleagues who opened up about their mental health status behind the scenes.
September 1, 2024It is now thirty-four years since the death of then vocal ACK Bishop of Eldoret Diocese Alexander Muge that occurred through a tragic and suspicious road accident near Kipkaren river along Webuye -Eldoret highway.
At the time, the late Muge was a fierce government critic and was among prominent religious leaders who had joined forces with a section of politicians, academics, lawyers and other civil society groups, in agitating for a return to multiparty politics in the country. His death was largely seen as a political assassination as Kenya grappled with one of the darkest periods of its post-independence history. What were the circumstances surrounding his demise and how did the vocal man of the cloth meet his death? Duncan Khaemba speaks to a survivor who witnessed the late Bishop Muge breathe his last, his children who were teenagers at the time as well as a section of church leaders who knew him at a personal level. Bishop Alexander Kipsang Muge: Ultimate Price. August 18, 2024Last Thursday marked exactly 42 years since the failed coup attempt of 1st of August 1982 pulled by rebel airforce soldiers against president Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi's government. So much has been written about the coup, yet that was not all there was to it, there is a whole lot more that is unreported.
