Investigative Reporting, Lawfully Done
We teach reporters to follow the public record, carefully and correctly.
Keltris runs practical sessions on land records, environmental reporting, and long-form county-level inquiries, all grounded in documents you're entitled to obtain and interviews conducted with proper care.
N 12°EWhat we do
Reporting built on records, not rumour
Keltris was founded to give Kenyan reporters a steady, methodical way into stories about land, environment and county governance — one that relies entirely on published records, official responses and interviews conducted openly. We don't teach shortcuts. We teach the patient work of finding a document, understanding what it actually says, and checking it against what happened next.
- ✓ Grounded entirely in lawful, public-record methods
