PolitIQ Kenya — political intelligence for Kenya

Kenya's political information is everywhere. Intelligence isn't. PolitIQ Kenya turns thousands of public signals into one daily intelligence picture, and traces every conclusion back to the evidence underneath it.

Six streams, none of them talking to each other

News and media · Social platforms · Radio, 23 stations · Official records · County chatter · Procurement filings.

One picture, and it answers six questions

What changed · Why it matters · Who is involved · Where it is happening · What evidence supports it · What to watch next.

What the platform does

• Surfaces patterns, explains political shifts and turns scattered signals into structured intelligence.
• Deep dives on counties, issues, actors, narratives and risks, delivered decision-first.
• Configurable alerts on signals, risks, opportunities and stakeholder activity.
• Role-based access, data controls and audit trails for high-stakes decision-making.
• Track narratives, counties, opponents and emerging risk in one place, and know what is changing around you before it becomes a problem.
• Ask a political question. Get an intelligence brief.

Built for people who make political decisions

Analysis runs on Maarifa, our own model, trained on Kenyan political language including Kiswahili and Sheng. Identifiers are pseudonymised under the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019.
