Renowned investigative journalist John-Allan Namu recently shared a glimpse into the less glamorous during his work on the investigative series, ‘TheLastDoor’.
In a message of gratitude shared on social media, Namu expressed appreciation for the support received throughout the season while shedding light on a particularly unusual and uncomfortable experience.
Reflecting on the completion of another season of ‘TheLastDoor’, Namu took a moment to thank the individuals and teams who contributed to the success of the series.

“To every one of those who chose to speak to us, bearing their grief with dignity and abiding in hope for justice for their loved ones, thank you.
“To all the journalists who volunteered their time, insights and sources, thank you. You guys have restored my faith in the belief that Kenyan journalists can and do collaborate with one another,”said Namu.
