Kenyans.co.ke is a Nairobi-based digital news organisation founded in 2015 and owned by Boxraft Limited. The newsroom publishes original reporting and daily breaking news while specialising in service journalism that explains how public policy and everyday rules affect citizens. Its journalists produce explainers on taxes, elections, data protection and civic rights, alongside coverage of politics, business, education, technology and sport. A dedicated video unit creates short-form news videos and documentaries for social platforms and the outlet’s channels. Operating from Westlands, Nairobi, Kenyans.co.ke brings together more than 30 editorial, social and video staff. The team includes professional reporters and editors supported by a social distribution desk and in‑house producers. Distribution spans X, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, extending the reach of interviews, live streams and issue‑led features. Audience studies regularly place Kenyans.co.ke among the country’s leading online news brands. The Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report has ranked it among the most‑read online sources in Kenya across multiple years, reflecting strong weekly reach among 18–50 year‑old, English‑speaking news users. Kenyans.co.ke sits within a small digital network run by Boxraft that also includes the aggregator Kenya Moja and sports portal TeamKenya, giving its journalism additional circulation and context. Blending fast updates with practical guides and policy explainers, the organisation serves a national audience looking to navigate government services, understand complex issues, and keep up with the country’s political and economic developments.
