Daniel Kalinaki

Daniel Kalinaki is a Ugandan journalist with The Monitor newspaper. In 2000, he co-authored (with Glen Williams, Joyce Kadowe and Noerine Kaleeba) Open Secret: People Living with HIV and Aids in Uganda. This book, which was published by the UK Charity ActionAid, was the first piece of literature to trace the importance of a candid and open approach to help fight social stigma and discrimination towards HIV and Aids.

Between 2003-2004, Kalinaki and The Monitor were twice taken to court by the Ugandan government to stop the publication of two controversial stories: the first detailed allegations that government officials had unduly influenced the constitutional review process, and the second was about a salary embezzlement scam in the country's armed forces, the Uganda People's Defence Force.
