About Us
Who we Are
IPL Business is the commercial engine behind independent media and people-powered change. We support platforms like NAAM—our flagship grassroots journalism initiative—while also facilitating networks in trade, development, and civic engagement.
For over 25 years, we’ve built media with purpose: to inform, challenge, and connect. From this independent foundation, we design sustainable models for bold storytelling driven by strategic partnerships, cooperative ownership, and skills development.
But our work goes beyond journalism. We create people-driven exchange networks—linking industries, innovators, and communities for mutual growth. For us, media isn’t just a megaphone for the powerful. It’s a tool for systemic transformation.
Since 2009, IPL Business has pioneered impact-driven, niche media—amplifying stories often ignored by mainstream outlets: NAAM: our latest leap into the mass market—empowering investigative journalism that puts people first.

Why Your Support Matters?
Independent media is essential to any thriving pro people democracy. It challenges power, amplifies the voices of ordinary people by digging into the stories that mainstream outlets overlook. But truly independent journalism can only survive when it’s backed by the working people—not corporations or anti people political interests. However, platforming is not enough because fearless journalism can’t survive on clicks—it needs people power.
Today, Kenyan media is controlled by: Corrupt political elites, Big Corporations, Multinationals and transnationals
