Jaivey, is a reporter for the FrontPage Africa Newspaper who investigated and reported an article on leaked audio involving Margibi County Health Officer Dr. Augustine Nyankun and other senior staff discussing their involvement in financial corruption in the act of billing and collecting kickbacks from vendors.
