About Us
The posts below are previews of articles and blogs published on kenyaImagine (www.kenyaimagine.com)- a community-based online paper in weblog format, set up for the serious debate and analysis of contemporary Kenyan issues, and audaciously trying to offer a better alternative to general print media. To this end we are continuously seeking new writers (one needs not be a professional). We'd love to hear from you: editor@kenyaimagine.com.
