“Who is ruto and why do they say he is the most corrupt?” When I came to Kenya 🇰🇪 in 2024 I had never seen corruption by government or killings of citizens directly. Now I know it’s a cartel not a government. SPEAKING OUT SHOULDN’T COST YOUR LIFE. In Kenya, asking “Where did the money go?” should never leave a family asking “Where did our child go?” Yet the record shows why people are afraid. EACC’s 2025 survey found: ▪ 98.6% of public-sector bribe-payers did not report their latest payment to an official institution. ▪ Among those who reported bribery, 42.3% said nothing happened afterward. ▪ Among non-reporters, 33.4% felt reporting was useless or nobody would care. Imagine being asked to “just report it” when you fear retaliation—and doubt anyone will act. Source, pp. 53–59: eacc.go.ke/en/default/wp-con… The danger of demanding accountability is documented too. For the crackdown linked to the June 2024–July 2025 protests, Amnesty International estimated: ▪ At least 128 killings. ▪ 83 enforced disappearances. ▪ At least 3,000 arbitrary arrests. Its report also documents threats, surveillance and coordinated online attacks against young activists. amnesty.org/en/documents/afr… The scandal fades. The powerful remain. Families are still waiting for answers. That cycle needs a public record. The REKODI team has been building REKODI.org - Kenya’s accountability archive, bringing together around 130 public-source documents to help keep corruption and abuses of power visible. Public money. Bribery. Procurement. Police violence. Killings. Disappearances. Source links. Documented allegations. Official findings. Court decisions. Outcomes. Unanswered questions. The aim is to make it harder for a case to disappear simply because the headlines have moved on. Readers should be able to follow what was alleged, what was established, what happened afterward—and what remains unresolved. Source protection is fundamental to that mission. People exposing abuse deserve a way to communicate without being forced to publicly expose themselves. The goal is protected anonymous reporting with confidential follow-up. That channel is not open yet; current ordinary accounts are not anonymous. Do not send sensitive evidence through public replies. The REKODI team is looking for an independent Kenyan-led team - journalists, lawyers, human-rights researchers and security/civic-tech specialists - to help manage and govern REKODI, or potentially take over its long-term stewardship. Qualified teams are welcome to review the code, governance, evidence handling and security design. Interested? Reply with your role, DM or any organizations to connect with. Public attention should not expire before accountability arrives. PROTECT THE SOURCE. KEEP THE RECORD. Ushahidi usipotee. rekodi.org/archive
