KENYA’S WEEKLY REVIEW FOLDS

KENYA’S pioneering political and business journal, the Weekly Review has folded. This week’s issue of the authoritative magazine, which goes on sale on Friday is the last one in a 24-year-old publishing history. No comments were available from the magazine’s owner-publisher, veteran journalist Hilary Gweno, but media sources said the magazine was closing down due to serious financial problems which rendered it unviable.
