Western Kenya Times (WKT), owned by the Western Kenya Times Media Group, is your premier source for reliable, timely, and impactful stories from Western Kenya and beyond.
WKT, now the leading news website originally from the western part of the country and among the fastest-growing digital media platforms in Kenya, was established in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic as an evolution of Lugari Daily, a simple blog initially focused on addressing issues within Lugari Constituency. The platform aimed to unite young media professionals to deliver quality information while bridging the gap between communities in the region and the stories that matter most.
WKT is committed to telling the stories that shape lives, spotlighting the diverse voices of Western Kenya, and empowering readers with in-depth analysis, human interest stories, and breaking news. Journalists at WKT aim to uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity while celebrating the rich culture and vibrant spirit of our people.
As a proud youth-driven organization, we believe in creating opportunities for the next generation of storytellers. Our team of passionate media professionals is dedicated to making WKT a platform that not only informs but also inspires positive change in our communities.
WKT identity
The simple, minimalist design of WKT reflects a platform dedicated to universal storytelling, linking the Western Kenya community to the world. The circular form represents the unending flow and rhythm of life, while the monochrome palette (depicted in the logo) embodies objectivity, neutrality, and authority. This design underscores WKT’s commitment to delivering clarity in reporting complex issues with the timeless elegance of black and white with a hint of red.
