Robert Alai Notable incidents

Robert Alai was apprehended on 17 June 2019 in Nairobi and jailed for 14 days for sharing gory photos of police officers who were killed by an IED attack in Wajir. During the trial of the Westgate shopping mall attack in Nairobi where around 65 people were killed, Alai was commended, both by local and international media for his convenient and innovative use of social media, mainly Twitter, to provide updates of what was happening at the mall.

His accounts were regarded as being more accurate than – and sometimes disagreeing with- the updates supplied by the authorities.

Robert Alai Controversy

Ndegwa Muhoro, the Kenya CID Chief, instructed the arrest of Robert Alai in December 2014 for allegedly sharing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s contacts on Twitter. He was accordingly charged “with undermining Uhuru”. Alai’s Twitter handle @robertalai was stopped on 18 December 2014 but was thereafter reinstated.

Robert Alai Internet Entreprenuer

Robert Alai registered an online company, Kazi Africa Limited after Bidii Africa was unceremoniously shut down. Kazi Africa Limited was a human resource company that linked job seekers with employers. He later sold the company.

He started another online company, My African Career, which was a career site. He would wake up at 3 am to buy newspapers and rummage for job advertisements, which he would update on the site. The site had a lot of traffic and it wasn’t long before advertisers came calling. Again, an investor approached him and he sold it. He started Techmtaa, a blog where he reviews new technology. He also offers IT consultancy as well as social media marketing.

Robert Alai Onyango Blog and Social Media

In the wake of the Westgate shopping mall attack in Nairobi where over 65 people were killed, Robert Alai was praised, both by local and international media for his timely and creative use of social media, mainly Twitter, to provide updates of what was happening at the mall.

In a world of virtual media shut down by a government keen to spin the narrative to its own public image purposes, Alai virtually became the go-to person for the alternative, more accurate view.

He was constant in his tweeting, all day and night long, reporting each and every significant happening. His accounts were considered as being more accurate than – and sometimes contradicting – the updates provided by the authorities.

The mainstream media and public discourse were largely formed and directed around his reports and views, including the emergence of the alleged disagreement among the security agencies that had resulted in the deaths of several security operatives, as well as the widely condemned looting of the besieged mall. Only much later did the Government acknowledge the stories he had broken to the Kenyan public.

Alai’s social media footprint is huge, by average African standards. He estimates that he makes 50 million weekly social media impressions, making him perhaps Africa’s most visible private citizen on the internet.
