However, as we approach the elections, and given the intense competition for media space, there is wont to be increased accusations of corruption in the media. The Nation Media Group (NMG) has, for example, had a long-running campaign against brown envelope journalism. In its recent newspaper campaign, it holds that the integrity of Kenyan journalism is at stake because of brown envelope journalism. Thus the definition of and interventions to deal with corruption need to be expanded. It is particularly worrying that this is happening at a time when the people need (media) information to make informed choices during the coming general election.
