Hello there. How are you? Thank you so much for tuning in to hashtag in the morning. We are glad that you're there. And of course, today being a Tuesday, it's all about Martha's entrepreneurship and innovation. And I promise you, it's about to be an amazing conversation. So do this. Find us on our social media platform on the hashtag which is Y in the morning at Y254 channel. I believe we'll be loading our post and our question of the day too as well. So we are requesting and inviting you to share your thoughts and your feedback and also your reactions as we continue to banter right here. Right. My good name is Brian S. You can find me at Brian Circle 101. And I promise you in just a bit as well we'll be telling you what's trending, what's hot and what's not. That's why we are inviting you to come close to your TV. And I'm not alone. I'm alongside M Costa, the one and only James. Happy new month still. Yeah. >> It's only the eighth day of September. Yesterday was the 7th. >> Yes. Happy new month. >> Happy new month to you, too. I think it's the the first Tuesday of September. >> Yes. Absolutely. >> It's crazy how fast the the year is going by. Anyway, we're excited to be here to update you on what really trending out there, what's really making headlines out there. Of course, looking at what's trending on X and also a splash on the dailies. But apart from that, at 8:00 a.m. I'll be having a conversation about youth and agriculture. So, make sure you don't miss that bit cuz we'll be talking about what really is uh I'll be joining back then be discussing more on on his research on about how you take agriculture and how you um agriculture can be a platform where people can actually make money. So, make sure you don't miss that conversation. But anyway, you can find me on social media, James. Remember # still in the morning. Yes, I think the conversation is interesting more specifically on ag mo mosquito specifically on mantis agriculture >> because when you look at the way I think there's somebody who there's a guest we invite we interviewed way back who was saying the way agriculture has been marketed in terms of >> uh adverts like they're not that striking and attractive so it doesn't make a lot of young people to gravitate towards that >> I think I think The assumption is being a a student who studied agriculture back in high school. I think the assumption normally what people have is agriculture is not for the for the cool ones. >> It's more so for the what we shall go. So that's the assumption. So we want to see what really is the opportunities that are in agricultures. Yes, there are so many and I remember still as well there's a guest at that time I think he had innovated was it no I think it was his first prototype of AI that was using >> I I don't know what type of technology to map out plants that already had weed so I think the conversation was agree techreneurship yes >> which is a super big and tapped uh area especially in our country but we claim agriculture is our backbone but yet you know a lot of young people >> and estimating it Yes. And not really like into it in terms of like what you mentioned that agriculture is, you know, for the people. It's not for the those who are cool, but you know, that's where all the organic food comes from. So, interesting conversation. Can't wait for it. Now, let's get to what's trending and what's hot. Um, on the X platform, >> I can see Bundians are trending at number two. And this lifts the lead on a bigger conversation, gems, and what's happening in the country. Remember the president issued a directive to have those especially >> those in small scale businesses >> to vacate and leave them for Kenyans. It has elicited a lot of you know massive conversation and debate as well. Yesterday Bundians gathered at their embassy in Kimmani to try and be put on record and registered. Let me just see some of the u reactions on it too as well. There's actually a reaction and a statement that was issued by Samson Orino from office of uh he's a he's interesting I didn't know he's the current government spokesperson >> I didn't know um Isaac Mora left office I think maybe he was taken to a different uh space area and then Samson of took over so this is his statement he said clarification on immigration directives regional integration and cooperation within the East African community so The message was let them be documented so that at least they're on record. >> But from the bite I watched yesterday that was highlighted by one of the stations. Uh most of them are citing frustration saying they've been in this country for over 11 years. There's one of the guys who said he's even married a lure lady. They have two you know children. So for him being sent back home. >> So the stand part is Alis Mahan affair. >> Actually most of them on a mahana affair. Yes. >> Wow. So I don't know it's a double-edged sword. Yeah. What do you make of it? >> We talked about it yesterday and I think the main point is what the president said was uh being a visa-free country like you can enter you know you're part of the ESC in the East Africa community. That is being a visa free country that you can enter doesn't mean that you should start a business or you should start something permanent in Kenya. >> But um I don't know. I don't know. It's really sad to see them being um being treated in that way cuz remember we said Africa is our whole community. We should we should welcome everybody from Africa cuz there's no need to chase your very own even brothers and sisters cuz the moment that um you start these type of things let's say in Kenya our Kenyans who are living in Bundi also face the same thing. So it to become like like a culture in every country just >> so I I don't know but I was looking at it yesterday and they they even spend the night at the embassy just that means how desperate they are for cuz most of them they don't have anything else to do cuz if they move from their country in Burundi then to Kenya that means they saw greener pastures in in Kenya so they still better opportunities in Kenya. So that means even where the place they going back to Bundi they don't have anything else to do there. Imagine a person who has been in Kenya for about 11 years. That means that he already started a family. He already made life in Kenya. So that's automatically you're just like a citizen in Kenya. So because you have lived you've known even to speak in Swahili, you know some of the languages. So you're automatically you're Kenyan. But now getting back now to be sent back to your home after 11 years. You don't know even even if your family is there back at back inund >> but you know what I think it it works both ways because at the moment we might we might think of it as some sort of like discrimination and deportation >> but when it comes to like legal migration and how other foreigners are incorporated in other countries I think just for the record it's very pertinent for them to be documented >> so that when something crops up uh and then something happens to that demographic of people at least if they were to trace and give them help >> or also maybe something sinister happens and they have to trace and make it accountable. It's easier to go to the embassy and say so and so James Jones sa D he's a foreigner he lives in this country this and this happened to him or her or this is what's happening how can we give them help or how can we hold them accountable so I think in terms of legal migration laws it's important for them to be documented accord on record but I think maybe sorry but I think maybe the tone and maybe the posture possibly >> came off as like you know get the hell out of my space but I don't think that was the initial intention the intention was we want a little reprieve for the small scale businessesmemes and I think >> that's why it prompted a clarification even from the government spokesperson uh citizen TV highlighted and said hundreds of Bundian traders scrambled to leave Kenya Bundians flock the embassy for travel documents Bundian traders face uncertain future in Kenya President R ordered crackdown on undocumented foreign traders government trades directs EC nationals to regularize their status and then there's also a reiteration from PA Singo who said those seeking documentation will not be penalized government offer support for voluntary repatriation still on this story since it's a big story and I know it's going to be followed up for this whole entire week >> the thing is I'm stunned by the way Kenyans are standing with you know bundians somebody would say oh Kenyans are you know spiteful no We aren't spiteful and we talked about it yesterday. In fact, influencers, celebrities and even you know musicians are saying you know what this is not a South African thing. Yeah. We are just trying to you know ensure that everything is on track. I don't know what do you make of it. >> Yeah it's something to quote about even to comment about cuz uh even the reception that you know Kenyans are known to be spiteful as you mentioned but even right now you have not seen anything that for me that you can compare with what happened in South Africa. remember South Africa even the the government was not much on on um on getting the people out of South Africa. It was more on the on the South Africans themselves getting the the foreigners out of their country. M >> so in Kenya we can say we are we are very welcoming even now even celebrities like the likes of BN I saw even making a statement saying no let's treat our African our brothers and sisters let's welcome them to our country but something about people are confusing it >> um the president as I said about our visa free doesn't mean that if you if it means I'm visa free that means you should come through the back door you know most of them have done through that they have not really gone to the embassy. They have not gone to the legal way. They just come and settled in Kenya. So that's why uh as much as we are talking about getting them out, but it's also creating job opportunities. Remember we talked about yesterday we said about unemployment in Kenya and now some of the youth are suffering because of they don't have these opportunities are not there. Then let's say there's someone who is who entered Kenya legally then he has that opportunity. So that's what they they're trying to prevent. So and to just to to avoid to avoid all the confusion just go to the embassy then get your papers. If you have the papers no one will get you out of your country. So that's it. Yeah. >> Yes. I think that will be the message all the time. Be documented >> and yeah I I think we repeatedly even said if you travel to another country always ensure you inform the embassy >> of that country that you're there >> of your country that you're in that country. So just trending too as well. I'm trying to just pick some of the relevant trending uh current hashtags >> and the reason is trending is because yesterday the president made a mian visit to the whole kaji he started in gong I believe pass throughan and then onai multime media galleria coming to langata and uh I was there >> mhm >> one president I I was there I think two hours before the president arrived and I couldn't keep up for me and look at my pia supermarket could buy something. >> So the crowds was so huge and there was there was a whole mix of entertainment trucks and just like there was crowds that had ODM >> uh caps >> and then there's those that had UDA caps and then Kokopia and another huge crowd. I think it was a thousand plus people. So you would scramble to go to the supermarket and people are just waiting for the president to arrive. The president was like 1 hour 2 hour away like he was I think he was in Gong. Yeah. >> So for me I was in the supermarket cuz there was a quick mat appleo around that area where the president um later on passed and addressed the crowd. >> So I noticed that there were groups of people groups of young people and somebody would come up and they would whisper something and you'd see people run in that direction. >> So others were saying oh And then there was also a group of people that were fighting too. And then there was another one that were dancing. So >> from my experience, yes, commotion actually. From my experience with these rallies, I think they're usually intense and you just don't know who is who. >> A thousand plus people. I think it was more than a thousand. Yeah. Cuz when I left, I I I cuz I was I was watching in the house, it's like now the numbers like quadrupled from 2,000 to more. And that just shows you know that you know a lot of people are following up with this political rallies. But yeah the president called out a few things especially uh when it comes to he launched a market. He also I believe launched a bhole. >> Mhm. >> Was it no no it was not a bohole. Sorry it was not a boho. It was not a bohole. It was a market >> like a promise as well to improve to open another market so that residents get to experience the best when it comes to trading. And then he also introduced some of the possible leaders that will be taking up in different uh areas when it comes to 2027 and that just shows that you know what it is election campaign mode it is here. I had never experienced a political rally on ground but yesterday I felt it. >> You never been to one? >> No no no no. I usually run away from them. report at least there. But just attending like no more. Yeah. >> Remember in 2017 when there were those rallies and I actually attended one back in 2017. >> Yeah. >> And we but it was all because of the money that >> did you get your chai? >> Yeah. Uh I think about 50 bob back then. >> 50 bob. >> Yeah. You know, you know that's crazy. That's how that's how like the assumption like most of the Kian have like when you see like a political leader is coming to your your town or is passing by you know of course you're going to you're going to you're going to leave something or they she going to leave something. So that's why people turn up. But in that crowd you never know who is that who is in that crowd cuz just let's say a town is comprised of many people. There are those who are who are desperate even for that single shielding. There are those who who just want to to hear what the president is going to say. They are professionals like journalists who are there just to capture the moments that so it's a it's a wool crowd. Then it's is something that brings a lot of commotion cuz let's say a person who is um who wants just the money the no or you want to you want to capture the report that means just to get the front row >> but that's the normal the normality that you have um you have get you have gotten used to when it comes to campaign period even you have seen it but the most the worst thing about now this campaign period is all about the the violence that that we have been reporting about but Yes, >> good to see some sometimes there are like a peaceful campaigns where there's no just the normal commotions cuz that we are used to but where even um I think was it this weekend where went to was it bay >> so just blocking the roads and all that that's a culture that we don't want to see let's let's just normalize the normal campaign campaign that campaign culture that we are used to not the violent one so that's just how the message that can put out there >> yes and yesterday as well there A pretty sad news that came from Tanzania. >> Of course, uh the first lady, >> is it the first family? Yeah, not the first lady. The first family of Tanzania, President Samir Sudlu lost her husband. >> And it was announced in good suili too. I really admire that kind of suili. >> I wish I wish a very politicians would speak that fluently in sui too as well. But yeah, it's it's sad. It's unfortunate that the husband died while he was receiving uh treatment to one of the hospitals and they said he died of heart attack and condolences uh and prayers up for the first family in Tanzania, Mama Samir Sulu. It was interesting because what stunned me about that whole even though it's it's it's heartbreaking tragic rip >> the way she never she never showed us the husband you know >> most of most leaders usually accompany themselves especially presidents it's always >> first lady is over there >> but the president and also if there's a deputy president second lady's over there and then the deputy president but for her she's definitely hid everything and boom I'm Sure if you to have a conversations randomly with people would you even picture you know with you know yes yes yes yes so I think that's the odd part for me and sadly I didn't I didn't know like the husband actually had two wives >> so maybe that's was it was our Samir the first wife or the second wife >> I really have no idea >> I don't I didn't I didn't even know about a rasan but it's really sad tragic for the for Tanzania and also for the for the country for for the the loss of that such a figure. I think he has been struggling with that at disease for a long time. So he was getting the treatment but finally the art gave up and um yeah he lost his life living behind two widows and um four children and 15 grandchildren. So >> had four children and 15 grandchildren. >> 15 grandchildren. >> That's a big family. >> That's a big family and a big family. For sure. >> For sure. For sure. Condolences. Condolences. Maybe we can get to the dies before we take it across. So I have the copy of the daily nation and uh on the daily nation today it says panic over r's order >> there are fears uh that the move taken by the government could have a wider economic and diplomatic implications that's on the splash on the top story and of course it's about the Bundians who spend the night at the Bundi embassy in Kimmani area trying to find registration and seek recognition as a directive that had been issued by the government. Bundian's queue at the embassy of Bundes Chancery in Nairobi yesterday where they flocked to regularize their travel documents. Now they are highlighting and breaking down an interesting series of protecting businesses as part of the reason why this mass documentation needs to happen. The saying President William R last week >> ordered a crackdown on foreigners to engaging in smallcale trade in the country. >> Fear and confusion amid the uncertainty. Uh hundreds of Bundians yesterday rushed to their embassy seeking to update their travel documents and then xenophobic attacks. Uh some of the foreigners alleged uh being uh forced out of their homes and businesses but police spokesperson denies claims and labels them as propaganda. And then there's also a part where they've highlighted state versus opposition. They're saying the government insists crackdown is not a blanket ban on foreigners even as the opposition says exercise poorly handled. I think that's what we massively as well highlighted here. On top of that too as well there's a story what we'll do in the first 100 days in office on gashagago's opposition priorities. The story is on page number six. And then as well another major story that's shaking and breaking the news headlines is NAS strike doctors issue 7-day ultimatum. Doctors have given the government seven days to resolve the ongoing NASA strike, warning that they will they will down their tools in solidarity if the dispute drags on any further. The Kenya medical practitioners, pharmacists and dentist union, CAMPDU says the strike now in its 41st day has stripped off hospitals of a level of care that no any other carder of health workers can replace. The story is on page number two and I remember yesterday >> I watched um KMPD Secretary General Davj Tella saying it's time that they act and of course it's also in regards to just the collect it's called the collect but gain agreement CB agreement and fulfillments especially when it comes to employment and salaries and remunerations etc. So we trust it will be sorted as soon as possible. Right? I think those are some of the major stories. Um there's a point where they highlighted healthy nation 10 diseases one body. She wasn't expected to live past 7 years. Today at 27 Loren Moriti battles 10 chronic conditions. She has survived an 11-hour surgery, two adrenaline crisis, and a snake bite, and now spends at least 100,000 Ken shillings a month to stay alive. That must be really excruciatingly painful and severe. Yeah, that's a story for that has been highlighted of a lady who is surviving with 10 diseases in one body, right? Loren Moriti, right? I think those are some of the major highlights on the top cover of the daily nation gems. What uh daily do you got? >> Uh I've got the people daily. You can see the splashes about Juan Bon then one challenger 27. I can see a figure like a graphic of course generated on about um it's like a marathon then the the race is there with R on up front. Then there's a question mark who's going to run beside R I think for the for the president for the deputy president. Then I can see his challenges there. The likes of Gashiagua, Matiangi, Cifuna, Colono, Orango and Matarua. Then of course talking about now as we come to the 2027 that is election that they they have to choose between one leader also one leader then the deputy for the who's going to run against now William R. Then he's also talking about some of the key areas that these opposition leaders are capturing like the likes of Gashago Matiangi FA each brings significant voting block for the for example M Kenya Yukani there that is Matiangi and a young urban Nairobi based talking about Sifuna and as you can see more than 50% of the national vote plus 25% in at least 25 24 counties of course will count that forces coalition at least mathematics. So I want to see who's going to run who is going to be let's say the king for this coalition so that he can challenge now the the current president. Now that story is on page four of the people daily. Then another story that is lighted here is inside Rut's costly roadside policy um pronouncement I think statement that he made yesterday. The story is on page 8. Then another story that is lighted on the people dating is about is Kenya adding the South Africa way talking about now the the things that have been going on discussed about Bundi and um oh the fear is uh let's not um let's not bring xenophobia in Kenya. So that's much about what's really lighted on the people daily. >> All right. Uh you got a copy of the standard. >> Mhm. >> I think I have it right. I got it here. >> I have Mhm. on the standard conceive fear and flight. So talking about fear and unc uncertainity are gripping parts of Nairobi as foreign traders faced threats, attacks and pressure to shut their businesses following President R's directive targeting small scale trade. The sins echo South Africa's recurring xenophobic violence where hostility towards foreign traders has led to looting, destruction of businesses and a displacement in in mm at least 20 foreignowned businesses have reportly reportedly closed raising fears. Kenya fierce Kenya could be heading down a dangerous path. The government insist it's not a blanket ban on foreigners. So that much about it then I can see a quote here by the president >> just trying to get it. Yeah. >> Okay. Uh for just quote unquote from the from next week that means this week that was a quarter last week. So talking about this week all foreign traders are doing doing small scale should close them. So that's much about it. But I've I've not seen any reports about any violence that is happening. People being being beaten by Kenyans really. Yeah, but but I think there's a business in uh Roy Sambu, but uh from the report it was I think it was a Nigerian owned business where I don't know some could have been goons or just people with ill intentions >> you know ambushed and looted and it was highlighted in the news headlines saying possibly this could trigger a lot of things you know especially in such a moment that's when >> people take advantage of you know the vulnerable and you know they vandalize the property or you know harm them. So I think authorities as well should be on the lookout for that. >> All right, you done with the standard? >> Yeah, that's much on. >> I'm seeing an interesting update here says Bolt has marked 10 years in Kenya with 19 billion Kenya shillings investment plus 8 million plus riders and 170,000 income opportunities. That's a lot. Mhm. It has also expanded its footprints to six regions and 19 towns across Kenya spanning Nairobi, the coast, western Kenya, central and north rift in the mount Kenya region. Both 10-year milestone comes as gigwalk becomes an increasingly important part of Kenya's cber market. Uh the 2026 both Kenya and Ipsos gig economy report released in March estimates that the country's gig economy has now uh is supporting approximately 1.5 million workers. That's a lot of people and generates more than 130 billion. >> That's approximately 1.2 billion USD annually. But for drivers on the bold platform, the report found an average monthly earnings of at least uh 60 63,000 K shillings while the top 20% earn up to 194,000 per month. Border border writers can on average get 56,000 K shillings monthly while 53% of drivers surveyed identified Bolt as their primary source of income. >> So this means that Bolt as a company itself is making massive gains in Kenya. I don't know. >> Yeah, >> at first I was hesitant to use Bolt, but I just became a fan of it when I used used it for the first time. >> I trusted Uber a lot, but I realized it was just another alternative to Yeah. And now look, they've marked 10 years in Kenya and made a lot of profit. 19 billion Kenya shillings is a lot and also created opportunities for 170,000 riders in terms of income opportunities. M >> so this shows that this this platform has created employment opportunities for a lot of Kenyans. >> It it has I've used Bolt for a while now. think of the I think for the last four four years. Yeah, I've been using I don't remember even the last time that I used Uber because I prefer even Bolt to to Uber. But the sad thing about it is I've you know I've interacted with some of the people who have been um who have been let's say employed somewhat have been employed by because they work with their company. So they've been saying about um the commission that it's actually there you know when you work let's say you work let's say for about a day you you might make a good money but you still have to pay the commission you still have to cuz they init they they are the one who are connecting you with your with your clients or your customers so you have to pay them for your so there's been complaints about mostly for the for the border border drivers not the the the the cabs but for the border border drivers I've been saying about um Oh, the commission is way too high. But it's good thing cuz let's say uh in Nairobi mostly for the people. I think it's a benefit in most for the for the people cuz just the easiest way that you can navigate from one place to another place. Let's say you're new in Nairobi. What really comes to your or you want to go to somewhere some some place which you don't you are not familiar with what really comes to your mind is just going to your Bolt app or your Uber app then ping your location then your destination then your driver will take you there. So it just made everything easier way easier than even just going to the mat stages now where you want to go. So it just made everything easier. Even the border border even I was surprised like you know normally I did not take the borders border normally take the the normal border then from CBD to about 150 150 shillings. >> Mhm. >> Then in the the bol about 80 shillings. Yeah, >> that's about half half of the price. So, it was made everything easier even um let's say cheaper in terms of getting from one place to another place, >> right? You prefer the bodaba let's say no. Yeah, cuz some sometimes it's cheaper. Let's say let's say from a distance like CBD to here which is um >> you you prefer to hop into a border. >> For me, I prefer for my convenience I prefer just the the car. Yeah, I prefer the car because of my fear with bodas because I once had a very wild accident way back and >> mimi I still have that that replay in my head. So even if it's raining, I I'll ensure I'll ensure >> if if I'm to car maybe I'll be late by 10 10 minutes. never left my head. So for me the car always >> the car >> the border uh >> a little bit hesitant. Yeah. But the thing that I don't like about even not only B but um B but the other the other let's say those companies that work um those services is when the moment there is let's say something like Mandano in Kenya or any type of even when the floods are here what really happens to the prices instead of uh them being convenient they just >> they hike them up >> they hike them like crazy cuz I remember there's a time when um there there was there was supposed to be manu like there's that fear that man will be there. So the roads were blocked >> was it was about few months ago the roads were blocked. So we actually road >> so I had to to highlight that then you have to get to you have to get to to work. So take a hub then um the it was about 300 Kenyan shillings. So I'm saying okay that >> the rest from where to town >> to toc 300 shillings was 300 or 320 shillings to be precise. Then I said okay I can I can manage this. So when he came to light at the gate then I paid the 300 shillings then the driver was like nah come back what's really going on and say can you look at your help was really the price then I thought it was about 660 like double the price yeah they can be that inconvenience sometimes so that's the bad the saddest thing about that cuz even I remember when there was floods one of my friends was stuck at CBD then he had to take a B to to to home then it it was asking about 2,000 shillings. Normally it it does about 900 shillings without the the without the you know they give you a 20% or even uh 20% discount but without that is normally 900 shillings. So there's that type of inconvenient whenever there's type of commotion there the floods there's the mandam mano they normally hike the thing the prices up instead of being convenient to the people. Yeah. >> But also, why do they hike fairs when they see cuz that's literally being predatory. Either way, if you are forcefully making your way into blocked entries or into barricades, you are putting your business, you know, at risk. So, >> I get it. But I don't think it should be that way. Yeah. Yeah. I It's raining now that Elino rains are just about to come. So maybe there's no mat and there's places where roads are impossible and there's no public service where you know you're just desperate to get. >> Yeah. So if it's 300, they add 500 more to make it a,000. That's exploitative. >> But they know you're desperate to get your your destination. That's they do. But do you know I'm not really agreeing on um even getting their ways even going through the back door. Cuz even now they are treated those barricades. They are normally seen as private vehicles. So they're just allowed to to pass through. Not the Matus are the only ones told no you're not really allowing any mats into town. Man, I think they need to up >> people's butt >> compliance and regulation laws I think need to come into place. Let's have but also easy apps as owned by Kenyans most of them are United States and other countries. So >> they determine what they do but that's when compliance and regulation comes in. >> All right. Uh this is a this is part of uh another tragic story that happened to >> uh Rex Masai who was shot during the protest. So finally the inquest into the death of the 29-year-old protester Rex Masai has closed after a forensic expert found that no evidence of that CCTV footage presented to the court had been tempered with initially that was the argument and the debate but according to a report by the independent policing oversight authority that is poor forensic expert Joshua told the milmani principal magistrate Joffrey on zero on Monday that digital analysis detected No deletion at all, no editing, no alter, no alteration, no duplication or even splicing in the footage. Ma said the 1 minute and 15 second recording was captured on June 20th, 2024 at 7:18 p.m. and remained in its original form. The evidence was also retrieved by IPO using a USB flash disc before undergoing forensic examination. Mhm. >> The inquest, which was lasted for 2 years now, has he had testimonies from 30 witnesses and received 48 exhibits. Masai was fatally shot during the anti-finance bill protest in June 2024. Police officer Isaiah Murangiran Dumba has been identified as the main suspect, but has denied being the person shown in the photographs presented to court. Parties will now file written submissions before magistrate delivers his determination. Right. um they're finally coming to a conclusion on this. I think this is one of those stories that has been massively and intensely followed up in terms of trying to find justice and piece up the information to come up with a masterpiece and then form a full inquest into what happened to Rex Masai. The footage is over there. There's another there's another I think incident two as well where they said the cameras in the CBD were not functioning and they finally just dismissed some other incidents too as well that were similar where protesters were shot. uh initially there was available footage in this uh surveillance cameras between different locations of the CBD but again they're saying the footage disappeared cameras were not on >> so the math is not ming and some of those insights are not helping in terms of being held accountable authorities being held accountable and seeking justice for victims who are shot during protest but glad they finally come to a conclusion >> uh even though the police officer identified denied. He's not the one. >> I'm sure if this was the United States, >> Rex Mai's shooter would definitely be two years in custody right now as we speak. >> Mhm. >> But because of, you know, some other two three things, >> even the person in the video denies he's not the one. So I think it's only prayers next. >> Yeah. And that's that's I think now the youth are even afraid even to get to get back in the streets cuz you saw you saw what happened in 24 June. Nobody can forget about that the type of massacre that was going on talking about even the police brutality even um I think the clips are even trending before before actually people went to break into to the to parliament you saw even people were being shot in the then people the pictures were trending online so there's that type of tragedy that was going on but what can we say cuz if the evidence not there there's nothing else that you can do but anyway All all things considered is there's um of course he was not killed by a person was killed by police. So even I think BBC BBC tried to do a cover about it. They tried to to to maybe to do an investigative type of journalism about it to see how the shooting was carried on. But um all evidence all evidence even um let's say from the people who are there the um from the um victims affected is that there's now right now just just do like the peaceful way there's no need I actually tell people there's no need when you go out to the streets you know the first thing is I I when was it on 2025 when you were now redoing what 2024 did I remember I went out to the street then I saw how people were doing it Actually people would take take the risk given to go and even tell them just give us the yeah that's you know at the end of the day a police a police officer just a normal person with emotions let's say even they are not not all are good to be honest not let's say not all not all police officers are good so there's that guy who will be irritated really quickly maybe shortteered then course he'll do that you want that gas he'll get you that But my point is, let's not try that insightful. If you're going to the streets to to do to do a certain protest, you can do it cuz I normally see in the US, apart from the racism type of thing where they are when they maybe protesting about something, they do it peacefully. They just go out in the street. No breaking of any property, no no beating the police. They just go with their boards and on a type of rally. But I do blame I do blame the technology that we have in Kenya cuz let's say it was in how >> let's say it was in a developed country the forensics there are way better. >> All right. I see. Yeah. Yeah. >> Way better. Even with the AI technology they can easily scan the faces and see who actually did it. So the technology that we have >> let's say just cuz >> technology really or the justice system that has flaws >> everything. everything we not we're not the point where things can be done in that that for let's say evidence that it happened 24 we had in September 26 that means about 2 years and 3 months down the line even even when you're looking at the evidence some of it might be corrupted so I blame the the things that even how developed that we are as a country >> I think there's there's some some backlogs in the justice system that needs to be addressed especially when it comes to prioritizing >> key details that piece up an investigation. All right, I can see White House releases. This is on matters artificial intelligence and of course Donald Trump is always at the center of this. >> So, uh this from fast post, let me just click on it. White House White House releases AI video of President Donald Trump as a Green Lantern. I don't know if you've watched the movie Green Lantern. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm actually following up on the series, the lantern series. So, I actually relate on what even um uh the the the o that he was saying, fear my light, aware of my power and all that. >> Yeah. I think there's there's a movie too. I think it's a couple of months ago where he posed as as Jesus. >> I don't know who was in hospital and then his image was there and then President Donald Trump is in the sky. He's coming as Jesus and healing this person. And then it was published as blasphemy. President Donald Trump is you know committing you know there there's a word for it in religion too as well. So this article says the white house shared an AI generated video depicting President Donald Trump as Green Lantern using the superhero's iconic oath as its caption. In the clip, President Donald Trump raises a glowing power ring and conjures a bright green border wall referencing the administration's immigration policies. The video also portrays him using superhero powers to boost American manufacturing and military efforts. Uhhuh. The post appeared as an HBO Max lanterns continues its weekly run, blending political messaging with popular superhero imagery. One thing about President Donald Trump is he knows how to trigger conversations. He knows how to inject uh in in media. I think we call it agenda setting, but also in politics there's that agenda settings too as well. He knows how to trigger conversations that can be used especially when it comes to making editorial policies on political segments. He knows how to trigger that and he just like gives media fer for discussion and you know banter but I think here he's trying to portray an image of him being the savior of the world >> being the most powerful leader because did he didn't just post that alone there's alo something he posted too >> and I remember reposting it yesterday Donald Trump has declared that the United States owns the moon. Yes. Yes. He posted that too on his social platform. Yes. Right. So he said the moon is ours. >> Mhm. >> So meaning that he owns the moon in the United States. There's another thing too as well he did. Let me see. I remember reposting it too. >> Trump claims the moon is a US territory in bizarre truth social media post. Yeah. Yes. President Donald Trump appears to trade his signature hair color for a darker look. No, there's one >> where there's now coins, $1 coins that have his face. >> I don't know if you saw that they were unveiled, I think last week or last week, but one, >> I think that's what was prominently trending. And you know, when it comes to American currency, they've always used the face of um what is the name? What is the name? The the president with the the long hair. That's the face who's on the US or the American dollar. So, President Donald Trump is fighting to have >> Yes, >> my producer says Benjamin Franklin. So, he's fighting to have uh he's pushing >> alo coming to my mind, but I remember Abraham Lincoln has the beer, not >> Yeah. So, for him, he wants to start with a coin. I think the company is called Mint that you know does their manufacturing of their coins that has President Donald Trump's uh face facial likelihood and it triggered a lot of conversation because I hear according to their constitution they're not supposed to change it but it's possible if they come to a consensus and maybe have >> Donald Trump but then it gives him more power. >> So you know to Donald Trump posess the world's most powerful leader so being on the on that $1 coin means a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I think Donald Trump is one of a character. You have talked about him much cuz even at the video itself, you know, the thing about Green Lantern is it just Green Lantern is a person with a strong will. He's one of the let's say a person the strongest will then he gets that type of that ring. The ring can make him even make make things out of out of his imagination. So even make him making a wall. You know what that walls means? about the Mexican border and all that the the the immigrants get out of my country and all that shenanigans. Then he even um highlighted something about the technology that he's bringing to America and all that. How powerful he has made America be cuz he's saying he's the superior leader. He's the protector of America. It's something that you're used to even um even even I think remarks. Do you remember telling you about the the Lindy the Lindy Clansancy case that so he was actually asked about it and >> Oh, he reacted too. >> Yeah. Yeah. He was asked about it. You know the reaction that the journalists actually anticipated for was the normal the usual one. Let's wait and see what will happen. The the case is being followed followed up. But you know Trump Trump is a person who likes to make to make headlines. He likes to to get into the into the minds of the people. They said okay the lady is guilty. He should should be wrote in two years in jail right now or into an asylum cuz she's not mentally upright. So he's is just wrong on statements and that's why that's why Uh the confidence is there actually cuz he actually think he actually knows the one of the the strongest leaders in in in the world right now. So for for Trump even you're used to it. He has been in media so he knows how to manipulate people and also knows something that he'll say so that he can make the story so that people can talk about Trump. Even the AI I think he has been misusing AI for a while now. remember when he made an AI about him I think supplying food to black people. Was it a black people? >> No one was in a jet and this jet was spewing >> seawage on people's heads and he's he's just in the jet and having that good time. So he has made those even the one that he made the portrait being the famous portrait about the angel him being the Jesus and all that talking about now he's the savior of America. So that that's actually >> I'm sure he's not the one designing those things. He asks people he's aware about it. >> He tells them to do it or maybe they also have like a content creation schedule for the president that's specifically aimed at taking shots at Republicans rather at Democrats. Democrats >> and uh the liberals. Yeah. Cuz it's about the the liberals are independents. So it's about the Republicans, Democrats and Liberals. M >> so I'm sure it's that desk is always busy curating stuff >> and that he has his own social media platform X truth social he says anything there and CNN's BBC all the international he actually does >> always there to like get a look at it he actually sounded off on AI before we actually uh go he said whoever quote unquote wins with AI wins but the power is bigger than the internet this is a revolution speaking to reporters in the Oval Office President President Donald Trump described artificial intelligence as the technological revolution bigger than the internet. He said the power is with him in the United States and China. So according to President Donald Trump, the most powerful countries with the most powerful AIS are US and China >> and that leaves out Russia, leaves out Ukraine, leaves out the the UK, >> which makes them inferior >> inferior. So that's what he definitely means in terms of if he was to start a World War 3 like they're saying it's coming up then it's headto-head China versus you know the United States and the United States he said is winning. >> So a lot to get to especially when it comes to the AI you know arms race >> with the new technology. I think he has a point cuz China China China is already known for not for for technology but you know Russia is known for other things like let's say the weapons are there but in America you've seen even the likes of Elon Musk working close to close with with Donald Trump of course Musk is one of the most um let's say a person in tech who is really really make one of the biggest people in technology so I know the AI is there we remember when they talking about right now nukes can controlled by AI. They can command an AI just to control know the misses and all that. So you never know. So >> that's dangerous of >> mass destruction. >> Yeah. And I remember a time where one of the AI models actually went wrong. So, so it's something possible that you can see you know when my one of the things that I feel when they create the super AI the super intelligence model that can control the other AI that means this model will be thinking way beyond the other models then that means maybe in the next 5 years maybe they create it today in the next 5 years this this super intelligence model will develop to a even >> way period. So that means it will be learning something every day, even getting stronger and stronger. You never know what will happen in the next even next 10 years or so. >> There was a response I believe that was satirical that said you can't create a god and run away from it. There's one of the AI experts who said AI will become a god and it will run people's lives. And I I thought that was really scary. For sure, for sure. For sure. In fact, you mentioned about uh AI going rogue. I think this is from NewsHour the site. Mhm. >> It says, "Alarms about the risk of artificial intelligence are sounding once again after hundreds of Open AI's autonomous agents violated restrictions and hacked into another company without being told to do so." >> Wow. >> That was anthropic and meta have had a similar events with their own AI agents going rogue. I think that was a report that highlighted Open AI's hacking phase hack where AI agents put through tests in a sealed environment. Hundreds got into the internet, hacked into different um platforms called hagging face and some agents even tried to delete records of their actions. So these AIs that are going rogue, it means that they are super autonomous to a point that >> they are studying other AIs and regrouping and creating many rogue AIs that are infiltrating people's um information centers and data centers or institutions and even deleting their trails after manipulating the information. So I can imagine like you've said these models in the next 2 3 years what they be capable of doing in terms of just even sad about the amount of information that you are feeding the those models cuz every time that you on your phone mostly I think now maybe 95 90 90 even 90 to 95% of people with their phones there you actually using AI on a daily daily basis when you want something to be summariz summarized really quickly you just go to the AI right now AI knows more about you than any other person cuz you have shared they know there are people who actually got to the use it as a more of let's say therapist the people share their own person of their private things that means it just feeding that information of you so it won't forget that whatever you tell tell it to because there's no there's nothing you have not signed any NDA type of contract with the AI so that means you're just feeding it information so at the end of the day um maybe when they start now to go wrong cuz you never know they'll just be there even exposing a lot of things that we don't know about um about about uh maybe even the the government even the people uh just private things that should not be disclosed out there so we never know about. >> Mhm. >> Uh still on matters AI there's a lot to get to. Bill Gates has been constantly or consistently doing interviews and giving his remarks uh what he thinks of AIS and what they'll do. So he says Bill Gates calls quote unquote for human reserved jobs to protect labor force from artificial intelligence. He said certain jobs should be designed for humans and to stop them from being replaced by AI adding that governments are not prepared for the turbulent times that the technology will bring. Uh something that we've just talked about a while ago. In a 6,000word essay that he released, Microsoft co-founder warned that the world leaders were not doing enough to respond to AI, which he said would impact nearly every area of policy and require bigger government response than institutional changes focused on national security after the 9/11 uh terror attacks. Honestly, there's low key there's fears of job losses. Yeah. >> Especially with infused robotics. >> Yeah. people in >> and how yes they're being complemented in businesses. >> Um let me not say it but maybe later on we'll have a story where we are seeing u it's it's going to air soon we'll have a story where a humanoid robot incorporated into >> uh human humans working closely with them at a hotel >> is helping to ease services but the debate and the question is >> this robot working is it not working in place of a person? Yeah, true. >> But but but the owners of that business say it's complementing services to ease service. Yeah. >> So that already tells you that as time goes by, >> there's need for these robots, there's need for the robots, but also there's need for humans. >> So there's a possibility of a clash between, you know, tech and humans when it comes to what technology can do and also the limits of it and what human beings need to do. I remember doing a feature story on um there's there's a there's a guy by name uh Godwin to get a shout out. He's been a guest here before. He has this AI solution called Muta Alex that helps victims rather that helps uh convicts who have been you know jailed maybe wrongfully others who are stuck in terms of processing justice is a lawyer. So his AI helps them to seek information and tools on how to get through the justice system. But the people in the legal space are saying there's things that these AIs cannot do that needs human lawyers with our expertise, mental expertise and intellect that it can't do. >> So in as much as tech is massively taking over or being, you know, vouched to be embraced in different career spaces. There's things that robots can't do. There's things that AI can't do. And that means the human touch and feel, especially when it comes to offering judgment. I can imagine somebody in court and your verdict is being given by a robot >> that's not you know human so there's limitations to it too as well but I just didn't I don't understand why people are advocating for robots and AI to take over jobs yes even last week we had a conversation I think on pow with two guests a content creative and a robotics engineer and they said yes it's it's good to have robots work with you but let's have limits to how this technology and how far it can go in terms of it being incorporated to humanity cuz opportunities are disappearing honestly. True to be honest even you've seen you've seen um clips where even the robots have been delivering food that's that's a work of another person that the robot has already >> drones no I think as much as we talk most you know the engineers are just making robots they just want to make money but what happens after after every let's say every place that has a robot that means a lot of people are going to lose their jobs and I'm talking about the robots and now the operator is because the robot is already programmed to do something to do something on a certain way. You know, humans can adjust. Maybe it was about um um I've watched clips where this self-driving type of vehicles where they are already programmed to go on a certain lane. They have to go make a left, make a right, but a human can know how to navigate and even make quick changes and know to navigate on certain things. But a robot cannot do that. So, as much as you're saying they're here to help, yeah, you it's only for now. But you know I like to look at the next 5 years and the next 10 years I like to look at how things might be going to normalize it. Let's say on a restaurant where we have a waiter and also we have a robot waiter. Then the robot waiter you know it's working for free the the human one is working for money. Of course a business owner will say I'll prefer the one working for for free for me >> but it will cost them to to buy that robot anyway. But after you bought it, that means it work for you for >> so you can fire and waitresses. Yeah, cuz that's that's a mentality that that will get in the to even the business owners. But that's really not the way to go cuz now let's say you're fired about five five writers or five work five five of your workers. What would these workers go? >> That means people now will get to a place where we even revolutionizing for like going even even talking about the campaigns on let's go against robots. Let's not let's not normalize using N. So I've seen even in China I think yeah China where even the kids are now being forced to get back to books cuz now they have normalized using the AI technology they have normalized using um uh the the the phones and all that the just the digital technology to for their studies but they're feeling people are getting dumber cuz um this this um this robots this AI technology is not really helping the students actually just making everything easier for them. So at the end of the day you know back in back in the day was getting the books reading even if you're not understanding you cra it that means you're not going to forget it but if you have a high then you have given an let's say an easy ass assignment you're just going to get it there promp it maybe a question then it will do everything for you that then you are going to submit that work even without even looking looking at any cuz now the mentality that we have is AI does not make any type of mistake cuz it's program it's a computer it knows everything so That's the assumption we have. So at the end of the day, it's not really benefiting us as much as we are talking about let's um let's not use AI for to do everything for us actually let's use it to to help us on our daily basis. So but I don't think that's that's how things will turn out in the next 5 years. >> Yeah. But I think we should also like learn to make this AI work even for blue collar jobs come agriculture. I remember interviewing I think I mentioned to you this agreech guy. He has he had this AI solution that helps map out uh plants that have been infested by um what what are they called? Are they called vamins or or pests? Yes, pests. And then also he had an AI solution that helps to determine the quality of fertility of the soil. Um he also had I think one at the same time AI could be able to tell the kind of uh fertilizer that's needed and also the kind of seeds that's needed for farming in that in different cropping areas. So I think let's bring it adequate to agriculture. How can they use this type of hub is getting extinct and that actually makes me remember there's an update last week where some some of these AI companies are buying physical books in libraries to scam them and then they're banning the books. That's that's that was the allegation. So there's an investigation being done. I'm sure it will explode very soon of how some of these AI companies want people to move away from books and now depend solely on virtual information that they have copied and scanned from the books. It's happening in the United States. I pray it comes to light soon. Yeah. But yeah, rogue AI models I think should be brought under regulation and we should have policies too that you know govern especially when it comes to digital governance and right here in Africa. Yes, sir. So James, you're exiting uh tell them let us know what we should anticipate from your conversation that's loading up. >> Yeah, in a few minutes we'll be talking about youth in agri food businesses mostly about agriculture and youth and also see how the relation is and also the assumption that youth mostly have when it comes to agriculture. When you hear about agriculture, what really comes to your mind? Do you see the the negative the positive part of it about the business of course get getting money making money and how can you make this money or do you see the negative part the assumption the meat that comes with the culture is meant for this type of culture is not cannot really work for everybody so we want to get more in depth on that conversation so make sure don't don't miss that conversation my good name is James can get me on social media James >> yeah I think this a good conversation to look out for like we said earlier the way they market agriculture is agriculture arts even. >> Yeah, they're just boring, bro. >> Yes, they're not striking. Even the faces that they use bonuses make as beautiful and as warmly as an advertion, advert milk, advert finance, one beautiful faces. I think that your conversation also sets for how we market agriculture and how it has been presented to people in terms of the objects that we see. >> All right. So right that conversation is loading with gems in a bit. We'll take a break. We come back at Y244 channel at Bransa 101. See you on the other side in a bit. Y 254. Imagine
