Joe Ageyo, Editor-in-Chief of Nation Media Group, addressed the critical role of media in governance during the Africa Shared Value and ESG Summit held on October 25, 2024, in Nairobi.

• Media as a watchdog: Ageyo emphasized that the media's role is to promote good governance and accountability, not to act as an opposition to governments.
• Public engagement: He highlighted that informed citizens are essential for a just society, facilitating discussions on politics, economics, and social issues.
• Recent protests: The media played a significant role in amplifying public concerns during the nationwide protests against the Finance Bill 2024, which was later withdrawn by President William Ruto.
