โ–  Nation Media Group has announced who will run Daily Monitor's newsroom after the paper's June shutdown and July reopeningโ€”and the top two jobs are going to Kenyan journalists

โ–  But a source tells OJ-UGANDA the real motive may be domestic Kenyan politics: President William Ruto, up for re-election in August 2027, reportedly wants these editors away from Daily Nation's coverage of him

โ–  If true, it would mean a newsroom reshuffle in Kampala driven by discomfort in Nairobi, not Kampala.

โ–  We're clear in our reporting that this claim is unverified. But given the stakesโ€”Uganda's largest independent paper, months after a government-ordered shutdownโ€”it's a theory worth putting on the record
