The Weekly Review team, comprising some of the most celebrated journalists in Kenya, is proud to have covered the historical General Election whose peaceful conclusion marked yet another watershed moment for Kenya’s nascent democracy.
It is now time to shift gears. Just like the world has become digitised, so must The Weekly Review.
Beginning today’s publication, The Weekly Review becomes a digital only magazine that will be available for free as part of the Sunday Nation e-paper, and on www.nation.africa.
