A new voice in Kenya’s media space is steadily gaining attention for its focus on truth, research, and meaningful conversations. Mwelekeo TV is a fast-growing platform that shares real stories and useful information in a simple and relatable way.
It is an extension of Mwelekeo Insights, a respected research firm known for carrying out scientific opinion polls across the country. The company studies what Kenyans think about politics, business, social issues, and other key areas.
The television platform takes these findings and turns them into engaging video discussions that are easy to understand.
The aim is not just to present numbers. Instead, the platform combines data with open conversations so that viewers can clearly understand issues affecting their lives. Through interviews, expert opinions, and community discussions, it creates content that informs and guides especially young people who face many challenges today.
The channel covers a wide range of topics. Some discussions focus on digital marketing opportunities for the youth. Others examine the importance of youth participation in politics, economic struggles, job opportunities, and social trends such as marriage patterns among young women. Each topic is handled in a direct and practical way so that viewers can learn something helpful.
One of the most powerful examples of its work is an interview titled “From Kenya to the Russia-Ukraine Frontline: How I Survived And Lived To Tell – Issa Juma Reveals.”
In this interview hosted by Kevin Waswa, a man from Mombasa shares his painful experience after traveling abroad in search of better pay. He explains how he came across online promises through platforms such as Facebook and Telegram. The offers promised quick money for simple jobs and seemed genuine at first.
After traveling to Russia, the situation changed. He signed a long contract written in two languages, went through medical tests, and received short military-style training. The conditions were harsh, the weather was extremely cold, and punishments were strict. He was later sent to dangerous conflict zones in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. He witnessed violence, drone attacks, and loss of life. Out of the Kenyans he traveled with, only two survived.
He also revealed that the promised pay was lower than expected and that some benefits were controlled by agents. Communication back home was difficult. With support from online activists and government intervention, he eventually returned to Kenya.
He now warns young people against rushing into foreign job offers without careful checks.
This kind of story shows why Mwelekeo TV stands out. The platform gives space for honest testimonies that can protect others from danger. It uses research and real experiences to guide viewers toward better decisions.
As its audience continues to grow on YouTube and other platforms, it remains focused on clear, direct, and people-centered conversations that encourage awareness and responsibility.
