About

Anita Nkonge is a journalist with BBC Africa, based in Nairobi. She is currently newsworthy due to her co-reporting on two recent stories. One story covers the trend in Kenya of gifting cash bouquets instead of flowers for Valentine's Day, exploring the cultural shift and varying opinions on this practice. The other story involves Kenyan MPs accusing British soldiers of decades of sexual abuse, killings, human rights violations, and environmental destruction during training exercises in Kenya. Nkonge's reporting contributes to the dissemination of information regarding these significant issues affecting Kenyan society, highlighting both cultural trends and serious allegations against foreign military personnel.
