What an absolute honour to chair this panel on lifestyle audits at African Investigative Journalism Conference with Bettie Kemah Johnson-Mbayo MWAPE KUMWENDA and owen gagare who are three of the best anti corruption journalists i've ever encountered. Looking at politicians lifestyles and spending to unearth huge misdoings.

Paddy Coulter was the life and soul of the Reuters Institute fellowship programme for so long. He selected me for my fellowship and then later was a much valued mentor and sounding board when I took over as fellowship director myself. May he rest in peace.
