It's about a lady who's called Lindy Cleans, I think. I don't think are you familiar with it? So, this lady, Lindsy Clancy, >> so she's been prosecuted for murder. >> So, what happened is in January 2023, this lady actually killed by struggling is three kids uh three kids. >> One who is a five years old, a three-year-old, then a 8-month-old. Yeah. >> So the the story was like that. So I was wondering what really happened. So I went on and followed followed up on the story. So what actually happened is this lady has been struggling with mental health for a while now. So one day she she asked the husband to just go for for some medicines and take out. So when when the husband was away from the house now she was left with the with the with three kids. So she took two of the kids to a separate room. Then she took the other one the other kid to to the basement. And when she took the the Ed the one they use, you know, when you when you're doing the the type of gym, the one that you put in your I think it's the Ed or the the wrist. I think those sort of sort of bands that can be stretched. So she used it to struggle the the first kid. Then she went to the room where the the two kids. She took the one kid like that. Like that. So she actually killed all the three three of the kids. Yeah. Then she tried now to kill herself by she went to to rooftop then she tried to jump but she not she not really she not really die. So she was just paralyzed from uh from the waist to down. >> So the funny story is um a lawyer said yes she did it. Uh she she accepted she did it. The husband said she did it. But now uh I think now the contra controversies come when now Tik Toks comes in place cuz there are some ladies who are fighting on our behalf. They're saying she should be she should be prosecuted because she she was not right on her mind like she was she was insane. So that's the that's the that's the theory that is there. So there are some ladies actually who are going on TikTok even torturing the kids, pouring water on the kids just to campaign on her behalf saying she should not be prosecuted. But I was just wondering if the agenda was reversed could a man really could a man really get that type of soft side. >> So So that there's that. But now uh the argument that the lawyers are are having even the jury is that >> she should not cuz um sending the husband for food, sending the husband for for medicine. That's that's a strategy. That's not an insane person. That's a person with a plan. So she knew what she was doing. She had a strategy what she was doing. So we cannot really say she was insane. So the whole story is just crazy. just want to see how it will how it end up cuz I'm thinking about now how can you really kill kill three of your kids even if you're insane then now you still proclaim that you are yeah you are the mom >> then you still proclaim that you are innocent so it doesn't really make sense >> oh that's really tragic like that whole entire story the way you've told it it's just beyond >> it's beyond you know uh fathoming so where is the dad in the picture where's the husband >> so the husband is the husband actually is a full story. So getting details is the husband actually was supporting the wife every step by step. >> Oh, the husband is in the story too. >> Yeah. So they they are saying that uh the husband was sent out for the for takeout but the the the hours don't really match. >> There's there's some point where the email was automatically sent from from the laptop. >> So after I think after 10 minutes after he left the house so there's a proclaimed email that was sent from the laptop. So they are wondering maybe the husband came back but but uh you know you know the thing is the husband did come back then called the police then >> everything is in acceptance that even the wife said I did it I killed the kids >> so it's not on the husband part now the Tik Tok ladies or the Tik Tok detectives they are blaming the husband they're saying he should not have left the the wife >> the woman the house >> but what can what can you do >> yeah that's so that's Honestly, >> but but I'm sure it's an American story. >> Yes. Yes, of course. So, so the crazy thing is some of the ladies after you they are torturing the kids, pouring water, shouting at them just just to campaign for the for the for the for the for the woman. Then they're also going out outside the court with the kids. They're saying she's not a murderer. Even the kids. So, there's one lady that >> So, where are the kids though? Cuz you're saying they're throwing water on the kids. The I thought the kids are dead. No, no. Those are different women. >> All right. >> Like let's say you >> So the kids, she murdered them. Three of >> them. They gone. >> You get the part where you're saying they're throwing water. >> So the people who are throwing water is like let's say you you do that. Then I want to I want to show to show the people that you did not do anything wrong. It was not your fault. So I'll do that to my to my kid. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Just to campaign for you so that people can see that. >> So it's like they're defending >> they're defending the lady. lady even going outside the court with their kids just >> to protest and stand in solidarity. Oh yeah, but it's really crazy cuz now I'm wondering how can you can you really be like more just just as like I'm assuming like I'm the I'm the husband then you are my wife then I'm seeing you on Tik Tok >> torturing my kid just to to to defend a lady who killed his own kids. So just that whole story just United States is wrong with >> mental health and I think it points back I think to stupid boy I think at some point we discussed it matters mental health some people underestimate it it's a very deep conversation that needs to be had stupid boy unfortunately died by suicide it's heartbreaking u honestly especially in Africa traditionally stories around mental health >> they are surrounded with stigma even in the in the case of Rosemary Kimatu uh former a KCB uh stakeholder who died by suicide. It was a big story for the whole of last week. I don't know if you saw it, the KCB uh one of the stakeholders. >> There was a I think there was a court order from the husband to not bury her uh in the in the family's homestead, but the family agreed. They decided to settle it out of court. She was buried at her parents' homestead and not, you know, the husband's homestead. So, matter suicide. And there was so many conversations too as well regards to that. I think I saw Janet Mugwa who did um a commentary too on on that story as well. She highlighted women being bullied in work spaces and then just a day before that or I think several days after that's when stupid boy as well died by suicide. So it's been a series of unfortunate you know mental health case related you know events and I think it's just tragic. is let's normalize having conversations and let's stop bullying people especially in work spaces cuz Janet highlighted people being bullied in corporate spaces and enduring a lot and it had a lot of uh public appro all right what's trending let's get to see what's trending on the x platform right uh number one of course it's about new champs at nation media hungaran nation media board of course Julie Vishur is one of the board members too as well there's a lot of conversations too I can see Joe Most actually some of the senior employees at nation media groups are trending on top >> of trending stories. Let me see uh other interesting stories away from that actually Dr. Julie Gish is she's legendary and iconic in media very very well respected and she's she's assumed or taken over the position as board member. A lot of details to that that we're not going to get into. Um I can see Dan Mang steel. I don't know why all NMG uh personalities are all trending but story for another day. I can see K chas Kenya taxation basics Ichaweri Ichaweri is do you know where it's located James? [clears throat] >> I'm not familiar with it. >> Okay. I used to think it is in >> in Nuki area. >> Mhm. >> All right. Messi James Messi has retired >> from football. He retired from international football. >> He's re resigned. >> I think you're a little bit happy. It's a whole career. [laughter] Yes. >> No, no. He just just decided to retire from international football. So, he will no longer play be playing for for Argentina cuz I think now the age is already catching up. He's at 39 compared to what Ronaldo physically is compared to how Messi is physically. You know, there's a little bit of difference. Ronaldo actually has black jeans in him. >> Yeah, he actually works out for for his I think he's 42 now. He's starting 42 soon. So for his age and how even the body looks and how even he managed to run. So yeah, there's that type of physical difference. But in terms of game play, you know who's the best in terms of game play. >> Would you say his dad's death could have also forces applied to him? Yeah, I remember was yeah last month when uh I think yeah still last month cuz it was August when his dad passed actually the the message that he the letter that he wrote to the fans saying that he doesn't feel like he can do this anymore cuz I think he mentioned something about the dad being the main motivation for why he has been he has been playing all this long say cuz I remember in 2016 was when he received a lot of criticism cuz he had lost three finals with Argentina in a row in 2014 he lost the World Cup final 2015 Copa America 2016 Copa America. So people were even banned in the jersey saying Messi is just a scam. He's just a Barcelona scam. He's nothing else but a Barcelona product. So you know Messi is all emotional. He's not that he's not that um mentally >> you think he's not emotionally strong but emotionally intelligent. >> Yeah. Not intelligent but strong. I think uh when when you criticize him it gets into him a lot. >> So he cries. Yeah, he cries. >> See, cries too. Even B cries. >> Yeah, they do cry. But you know, Messi just cries most of the time cuz I remember in 2016 after he lost the final, then he started cuz he actually he actually missed the penalty which was about to win the title for Argentina. So he missed the penalty. He was so broke and then after the game they were chanting, you know, people chant boo all the type of insults. So he went to the press and said he's just retiring from international football. He's not going to play for Argentina. >> So in 2017, Argentina was struggling to qualified for the 2018 World Cup. >> So they actually begged him to come back to the team and he came back in 2017 I think around November. Then in 2018 now he went to play the World Cup which they were knocked out by Mimbab's France. Then France went on to win it. Then he came back in 2022 he won the World Cup. Then 26 we saw what happened in the went to the final >> expected to win in 2026. >> I think that's the theory that a lot of people had but I don't know. >> So >> there's even there's even one of the commentators who was actually looking at the lighting setup and the theme for the World Cup final. >> This is just propaganda and everything >> that was just propaganda. >> There's always conspiracies about these things. >> There's always there's always >> so yes. Soinda and he's he's retiring. >> Yamal actually won it then. >> Let him rest. Honestly, >> a month later his dad passed. >> That's a good a good run in football so far. >> Was it a month later or just two weeks later his dad passed so I think it has been way >> contributed to it >> and I understand about the dad part because me too I lost my dad at the time. I needed him the most and I was just starting out pier. So yeah, rest in peace to the dad and good luck and all the best to you. The go the god of uh football, [laughter] >> the god of gems, uh l me. All right. Right here in Kenya, there's a lot trending. I think I'm I'm moving away from eggs. >> Mhm. >> Um the main story is at JK where passengers are stranded. >> Those both I believe also part of local travel too as well. But yesterday they issued an update after they had some sort of like a consensus and it says 17 years uh 17 hours ago not 17 years 17 years in Bali if you were to subtract 17 years from 2026. Trust me >> life wouldn't feel the same if you were to do that right now. >> All right. So Kenya Airways updated a statement on their platform and it said customer update on the ongoing air traffic control challenges. It's a it's a three paragraph statement. This is what it said. Uh this is a further update regarding the ongoing flight disruptions out of Jama Kenyat International Airport following the industrial action by air traffic control workers. We are experiencing delays of more than 6 hours and due to the flight backlog we have had to reschedu and cancel some flights. Our teams are working round the clock to manage the situation. Rescheduling flights proactively in order to minimize the impact of the disruption as the situation evolves. We advise our customers only to come to the airport once they have confirmed the flight. Customers can visit their website tow.kenyawa.com or the KQ mobile app to see their flight status. They also encouraging customers to update their contact information via manage booking which is on their site on the website of KQ mobile app to ensure they receive the latest travel notifications. And they finish it by saying, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by disruption. The safety of our customers and crew remains our highest priority and we appreciate the patience and understanding as we work to resolve this disruption. Customers who'd like to change or reschedule their flights can also do so without penalty. This is a good one. >> So customers can change or reschedule their flights without charges. Usually I think in international airports sometimes and also way back in the past or even for international travelers if you are to switch from another flight like if for example if you're bound to go with maybe KQ cuz what at JKI there's even international flights to that picking passengers and taking them to other countries like Emirates Lu Hansa South African Air >> is a flight zap so maybe you had booked a direct flight from to from U Kenya to US and via KQ. So the good thing is they can now change it maybe to >> or any of the links I mentioned or Emirates or whatever without charges and I think that's good but the whole entire situation is messy. I watched I watched like three bites from KBC channel one to citizen to KTN even shout out to >> anyways he's a reporter here at KBC. He was on ground they were in upper hill in one of their stakeholder offices >> to converge on. So the issue that's making these air traffic controllers go on strike is about a collective bargain agreement. A collective again agreement is usually a memorandum of understanding of some of the implementations or fulfillments in terms of payments for workers union of a certain entity >> and a common example as well happens in their lecturers in the education sector high learning education especially for lecturers when they usually go on strike they usually say please fulfill the collective bargaining agreement dubbed as a CBA which entails their payments their working uh stipulations and what they are entitled to in terms of their welfare as workers. So apparently for air traffic controllers at JKIA, it has not been implemented. I don't know it's debt backs. It could be dating back maybe from like two years before even maybe before the current leadership uh came into office. So it has not been implemented to the latter and it has triggered this appro and the best thing for all workers usually what they do is they halt services and they go to the corner strike. Yeah, >> it's very lecturers. So, they decided to down their tools and look there's an international travel ampers at JK. I don't know what caught your attention from all this debacle. >> Yeah, I think was it yesterday? Yeah, I think on Sunday. Yeah, Sunday they lost actually they lost 8 million. 8 million just just for just for a single day. So I'm just counting on Sunday. >> So it's more. >> Yes, for now it's more because that was Sunday. Now you have Monday now today on Tuesday. So those are three days and they are delaying a lot of things. No the irony is on Saturdays they were given four awards. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> They were awarded for the best Africa leading airline also African leading airline economy economic class 226. Then Africa leading airline launch at 226 and also African leading inflight magazine. I um I once worked with Mafiri making that type of advertisement. But my point is >> uh these are these are international our international our main international airport. >> That's that's a pride of Kenya. So I don't I don't understand why that they can be delaying flights actually cuz if it's about it's about payments. No, I think the government can cater for that. So I think we yet to as much as we talk about um development and all that this not a good look for for us cuz now imagine now the tourists or or even the the the Europeans or what can you call them the foreigners who who came to Kenya and they want to travel back to their homes. >> Have you even seen the photos? They're even sleeping on >> Yeah, they're sleeping on those even the languages cuz it's so disappointing. Let's say you had booked a flight maybe maybe maybe even uh not only say a business a business trip maybe you're going even for for medication then you lo then you booked a flight then your flight was delayed no that means your appointment would be be cancelled then you are going to be the to go you be the one who is going to to be on loss cuz even if we say about um you can transit from one you can transit from one one flight to another flight that means okay you won't go lost on the tickets. But remember, when you when you're going outside the country, of course, you have a schedule. You just don't go don't choose and and say, "Let me let me go outside the country for fun. Obviously, you have something in mind or you have some some you have a trip that you have to cover." So, I think it has even messed up a lot of a lot of people. Not a good look for us. >> Yeah, absolutely. Like you're saying, it's actually it doesn't look, you know, presentable, especially now that it's international. You know, JKI is an international. Yesational airport >> and it's an entry point of this nation. So I believe action st immediate action needs to be taken to the latter. Actually these are some of the main issues in terms of the CBA dispute. >> So they say the conflict centers on a long-standing ampass involving the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority uh which employs the air traffic controllers and the salaries and rem remuneration commission SRC. They're citing the stumbling block. The SRC previously issued a guidance on July of 28th, which is uh last two months ago now advising that the outstanding collective bargaining agreement that is the CBA I've just talked about. Imagine it's dating back to 2015 >> that has been forfeited. Instead, they proposed negotiating a new CBA from 2026 onwards that offered zero variation in basic pay and no additional allowances. So the workers grievances that is cow rejected this and it cited a violation of past agreements and stalled career progress and poor remineration because ATC which stands for air traffic uh control services are critical to airspace safety they resulting in in slow immediate paralyzed regional and international departures. Yes. >> So it it's it's a whole document and again this has rendered so many flights on ground you can imagine. Yeah, I think you mentioned somebody going for a treat for treatment abroad. There's one of them Z who was interviewed. I think it was on a KTN news bite and he said he had traveled from Kitoui >> with his son. The son was heading to China for an interview and it was also a business deal meeting >> and now they are stranded and they're really not sure what they're going to do. But the implication of all of that is >> it's going to dig deep into your pocket. Yeah. whether you're rich or wealthy or not unless you have to use your own private jet >> which is also another big cost >> or maybe changing now to these other airlines that will also cost you more cuz also they charge in dollars too. Even KQ they charge in dollars too. >> So it's it's it's like we've said it's not a good look and I trust that they're going to >> you know uh implement the CBA. The thing is implement the CBA and just ensure that it's fulfilled uh to the latter. I think it's a very big story trending and >> all news rooms are actually you know their heads and their microphones and their cameras are on to that story. Let me get to the copy of the Daily Nation and what it says. Uh the splash on the Daily Nation talks about Maraga hot potato. Right. Mhm. >> There's a photo of Moraga, former chief justice disgruntled and then uh in between contrasted with a photo of Muhammad Amin who is director of the DCI and then inspector general of police Douglas Kanger and this is in regards to police reform. So yesterday >> former CH chief justice uh David Maraga had a lot to say about the reforms in police and he was urging the authority at heart to ensure that it implements to the latter do. So there's still some one to three in betweens that need to be highlighted >> but daily nation has dug in deep. It tears deep into it. It says state capture former chief justice David Maraga makes public report on police reforms highlighting ignored proposals to protect independence. And then also on term limits, the report urges transparent hiring and restricts contract extensions, turning focus on police chiefs uh Douglas Ka and DCI boss Muhammad Amin. Right. It also sites open listing police recruitment should be automated. A list of recruit recruits published and exercise audited to promote transparency and fairness. And then lastly, it highlights about special codes task force demands review to limit arbitrary special units on the back of brazen and illegal operations by abduction and killer squads. Yeah, some of just think systematic issues that have been there in between and chief uh former chief justice Maraga is pulling the plug on it trying to highlight it and calling on the attention of the state to ensure that it highlights it too. All right, another conversation gems. I don't know, is it just me? >> I saw first of all, I saw it as a meme, >> but then it came true cuz I went to the supermarket on um I think it was on Friday or Thursday last week. >> Mhm. >> And the milk brand that I wanted on the shelf is not there. >> So, apparently there's a shortage of milk in the country and people are calling it out loud. I personally noticed it. >> I had seen it as a meme somewhere. Somebody had shared it on the WhatsApp status. But again, I went to the supermarket like let me pick the supermarket cuz for supermarket I always believe it's cheaper compared to a shop. >> Yeah. True. True. >> Yeah. So the brand that I usually go for it's not there alternative is not there. It's a new brand. >> What is not happening? What's going on with milk? [laughter] Have you noticed it? It's just me. >> I'm think I'm just hearing it for the first time. But I'll just look today. I see if some some of the it's it's in reality even my place. But I don't I don't understand why some of these products like farm products actually even sometimes. So, I'm just wondering how does that even happen? Cuz the chickens are still laying eggs, the chicken are still hating. Or does it happen somewhere where maybe they just say, "Okay, cuz everything now is is on higher prices. They they just decide now to to even to raise the prices of farm products cuz I believe like farm products is something that should not like if not is if if it's not something that is processed should not go even high in prices." No, we into a case where we don't have milk in our country or you don't have milk in the supermarkets, you don't have milk in the in the in the the in the shops think it's terrifying cuz now how can you know you you be relying more on that type of a powder milk? Have you ever taken that type of powder milk which is not good really good for your hair? >> I like the powder. >> Yeah, it's not really good for your health actually. >> Oh, it's not good for your health. >> It's not even actually. >> I bet it's an alternative for people. It's an alternative but yeah it's somewhat compressed then in the from liquid field form to to powder form but >> but babies consume I mean >> yeah but it's not good it's not good. So the best milk actually is the one that is in those type of packages but not really that one. So if you ever gone to the ATM milks >> okay >> the ATM >> bought meat from the ATM. >> Yeah. >> Bought milk on the the ATM. Yeah. >> Wow. >> That is the best one actually. >> You're a vendor. Yeah, that's that's the best one. [laughter] >> That's the best one. The other one that is package of the the powder type of milk is not good for your health. >> Wow. >> But I don't know. I don't know about all the brands, but I know some of the brands are good actually good. But uh now it's so scary if I can go to the supermarket and actually not find milk to buy there. So I don't know what happened. >> Yeah. Let me just click on an article that has there's [clears throat] an article from Nation that is actually highlighting why there's shortage of milk in Kenya. and the nation one I think premium for you to read >> I'm seeing it also highlighted on on the people daily >> right he says milk shortage in Kenya it's a question supermarkets limit purchases as popular brands disappear from shelves exactly my my favorite brand your milk I qua shelf this this one is a true account as a reporter as a journalist I saw it and and and I I vividly remember the photos in my head >> so questions are emerging of a possible milk shortage in Nairobi after some supermarkets began limiting the amount of milk customers can purchase. >> So supermarkets began so issuing >> supermarkets began limiting >> the amount of milk customers can purchase. >> So the milk is still there. >> So it means it means the milk is in stores. So at the same time the consumers have reported difficulty finding popular brands such as Brookside. Exactly. KCC and Tuzo. Exactly. A notice seen by uh one of these sites says Niva's prestige along Gong Road informed customers they can only buy a maximum of two boxes of milk. So regulations already >> and quote unquote they said kindly note each customer is limited to two boxes of milk. Thank you. The notice you know stated the development the development comes amid consumer reports of empty supermarket shelves and rising milk prices in parts of Nairobi site as well. Brookside and KCC which are very popular brands consumed in Kenya. They were notably unavailable on some supermarket shelves during the checks including Niva Supermarket raising concerns among consumers who rely on the brands. The reports have sparked reactions online with several consumers sharing their experience with milk prices and availability. Right. >> Somebody said, "I was sold a packet of Brookside milk earlier today at a total convenience store for 90 bob. Bro, it should go for 56 or 55 depending on your location at night depending depending on type >> but generally should be around the normal regular places 56 the highest depending on that uh shopping market. Yeah. So these are some of the reason. Let me get to some of the reasons why they actually highlighted that. They said main causes of milk shortage is because of dry weather. They're explaining a lack of steady rain has dried up pastures and grass. So dairy cows now produce fewer liters of milk each day. Lies. >> Mhm. >> Wongo. [laughter] Another one said feed costs prices for commercial animals have risen sharply. I actually believe this one is true. If you own a cow, [laughter] [clears throat] >> no, no, no, no. It's a joke. It's a joke. >> If you own a cow, please tell us. Yeah. [laughter] >> How's the situation? Is the is the cost of a cow feed extremely expensive? How much? Especially if you're within the vicinity of Nairobi and the outskirts to Ambietal. >> Another said empty resounds. the country ran out of uh stored powdered milk results that normally help fill the gap when fresh milk production goes down. So the impact has massively touched on consumers with the purchasing power going down and also now the price is going up. >> Yeah, I'm also seeing it highlighted in the people daily. The headline is is Kenya staring another milk shortage. So some of the the key main points here for sector milk intake dropped from 5% from May to June 2026. That's uh that's about 88.9 88.89 million liters to 84.44 million liters. Then June 2026 intake was also 6.4% lower than June 2025. Then some as you mentioned some Nairobi supermarkets uh of course they have um they have started now rationing milk limit of two boxes per customer and shelves are intimately empty. So I'm just wondering no if if you want to buy the packet the old box the old milk packet it's not allowed right now you cannot buy for the old packet >> yeah highlighted you can only buy two >> yeah and so lighting some some outlets also have risen from 70 70 B to to 80 80 per liter then the cost because of rising commercial feed cost as you have said about 45% increase on the commercial feeds cost. Then delayed rains affecting pasture. Then uh falling yields for small holders farmers from 7 7 to 9 7 about 7 to 9 L to 4.5 4 to 5 L per car per day. Then small holders procedure that about 80% of Kenya's milk. So I think now uh some of the reactions that we have gotten is the consumer accreditation of Kenya Kofk led by Stephen Mtoro has given the government 7 days to publish recovery plan with monthly milk intake targets then also activate emergency for feeder feed subsets in in affected counties. So I I believe it's not really all the countries that have have been affected by this. Then um >> countries of counties >> counties >> counties yeah then of the Kenya dairy board account for the 225 milk surplus and powder reserves then wave important duty and VAT on key dairy feeds ingredients such as the yellow maze and also soy. So that's how crazy it is. So I don't know I don't know is it because of the rains but the rains are still there >> cuz now we getting >> I think but it could be true or not true cuz if you look at the weather patterns last month were a little bit dry honestly it has been a little bit dry. Yeah and even the previous month too >> but yeah we're heading into the early seasons of El Nino. So I trust they won't be because if this is how the situation is right now I can only imagine now end of September >> when El Nino kicks >> yeah the best way is just go to the vendor you'll get all the milk that you want there >> all the I think the best way is to own a cow and milk yourself >> but now people in people in >> directly to the supplier who like gets it directly from the cow honestly I'm not a fan of this milk in a pimo >> yandas I I've tried it and it doesn't give milk. It gives another taste on it. >> It's a bit um let's say it's a bit diluted I think cuz I don't believe that is purely >> part of that and then it has impurities too like there's something they add into that here. >> Mhm. >> Yes. And I know I know I know a shop I know a shop where I used to buy when I was in campus cuz I lived outside my whole entire time >> and there was a change of milk supply and we went through some stomach upset issues. >> So I'm not a big fan of that. But there's also places where it works and where it's cheaper. >> Yes. Where somebody could even get a whole liter of milk with like 50 bobb especially. Yeah. >> So yes it depends with your location. Yeah. I'm sure. >> Yeah. They don't know what you're complaining about. I remember when you used to know to go to even to those mas with the cows that you actually went for milk a big bottle even a big for about even 40 bob. So they don't they don't see the effect that people have been talking about. But it's way crazy cuz now I'm just just picturing people who are living like um a whole family like a big family let's say a nuclear family then of course you know you cannot take at least two packets of milk then you go to the supermarket you're told no don't so I I think what people will be doing cuz you know Kenya is still Kenya Kenyans are still Kenyans also just going from one supermarket to another supermarket so if you give me two packets on in neighbors I'll go to quick m to take two [snorts] pockets >> that's another way that's another way use that tactic that's a strategy that I'm giving you >> especially if in your area the situation is getting worse and the next buy >> yeah buy the two by the two by the two then >> but also that tells you why milk is very important or it's a basic need for a lot of households especially in the city I don't know do you consume milk on a daily I don't I consume occasionally but there's days when I want to like just have >> pure glass milk or tea milk >> uh no I prefer n the white coffee type of the coffee. You're the coffee guy. >> So I I cannot I'm not really fan of the black coffee cuz I feel like it's too strong. >> So I like it diluted with some milk. >> Right. So me occasionally honestly um I'm more traditional. >> I sometimes I sometimes even buy majani but yeah tangawi mostly. >> Yeah, that's the best one. >> So I have a stock of maji tangawi and then the cocoos and the millos and the rest. But if I go even to any ordinary place is me. Yeah, >> right. I prefer the tang because it doesn't have a lot of ingredients too as well. It's also good for your voice as a radio broadcaster and a TV broadcaster to keep your voice clear. The tangoiz type. So tangoiz anytime. Also milk is not good by the way if you are a radio person. Most people who are radio present as milk products and not among people in the in the commercial voice acting space they rarely take uh milk products milk and oily stuff at some point I was advised to veer off that but I think say I'm invincible I can take anything and I still be fine. >> All right let me finish up on the Daily Nation before I hand it over to you. Uh the second last story is teachers growing impatient with state house promises. That's what they have highlighted there. President R hosted 10,000 teachers at state house state house nearly one year ago. He gave promises including more promotions and allocation of affordable houses which they say remain largely un unfulfilled. The story is on page number two. It is a big debate to last week um when it brought in uh honorable Moses with Tangula too as well. um 50,000 authorities promised the double uh promised to double the number of teachers promoted every year to this figure but have fallen short and then uh PCM in 700 million Kenya shillings mission to rescue beach hotel this one elicited a lot of commentaries too as well on social media commentators tik tokers and podcasters I watched a bit of ini cheesy is it cheesy podcast. >> I think it's cheesy podcast. Yeah. Um, >> rapture scientist who used to be co-host with Nick Eonini on Mafria cuz I remember was a guest doing on on that podcast at some point talking about you know the whole thing about my dad being abducted. Anyways, credits and shout out to podcast. So apparently there's this church in 700 million Kenya shillings out one of the hotels in coasting. >> Oh >> yes >> that's a lot >> you sure is. >> So they want the members to raise it. So what caught my attention was I think BNN Ed go highlight one of the sermons from the pastors who was trying to say if you give God blesses you if you give [laughter] you're not giving to the church you're giving for God [snorts] and the backlash the comments we like you know what this is exploitation one of the comments they said they can pray but you know what one thing I I can say before I hand it over to you James matters religion >> and now if you can specifically loop in Christianity >> Mhm. You can never win in any debate of that space. >> True. True. >> Religion, sports, politics, sometimes science a little bit. Science at least you can prove some things. Uh this entity if you merge with this one, it will produce color red and that's this is the ph of this. But politics doesn't have scientific >> anything that is based on your opinions >> qualitative and quantitative figures religion. Now add in Christianity, Muslims and the rest. >> So all I can say is just good luck and all the best. Hopefully they manage to bail their situation out. What do you think? >> Yeah, it's crazy how a church can get you to that type of debt. 700 million. What were they doing? >> It's a hotel running. It's under receiverhip and you know stories that receiverhip and handover deeply rooted millions of money. maybe a state officer or somebody was funding given the whole project and then they took loans to sustain the operations as a car. >> Yeah. >> So banking you know what you have to give us. >> You have to give us but you know uh as much as we're talking about Christianity church and all that talking about your faith in God. So but I feel like we have gotten to a point where some of these churches are turning into a business type of type of thing. You have seen it. >> You feel that? Yeah, I feel I feel that way cuz listen, let me just watch >> give an illustration of both. Let me just explain what I'm saying is uh you find that these churches they like just to to be like fancy now cuz I think the Bible is mentioned when you gather between two or three people, God is within you. doesn't mean that you need to go to this type of big hotels or you need to to construct something that is so fancy in a way that it will be running in depth as your as the manager. So there's no need for all that cuz I believe that as much cuz what takes people to church is not the scenery in the church is actually what you're going to preach there is actually the word that you're going to to receive there. So that's the main purpose of the church. spreading your gospel and also teaching people. Not really. No. Um I understand why Ken are going going out a lot on on that because they're saying it's exploiting because they believe that they have not seen 700 million is a lot of is a lot of money even just picturing 700 million and the only >> church is in a make bro more than that. >> We know we know we know that >> like if you were to give them like so it's usually estimated for a financial year. Yeah. because uh there was an update that was done a couple of months ago that highlighted churches and how much they made in terms of the financial year ROIs >> and some churches are making it in billions. >> Yeah, I know. >> So that could be just pocket change in terms of >> what they make from their main headquarters to other branches. But same me that it's a bad thing. Yeah. >> Because you know churches honestly churches have helped a lot of people in terms of their spiritual growth etc. I'm a big fan of people going to church but that's where my opinion ends for me. saying I don't behind that about money with church I don't see how it correlates because I've I've never seen the relationship between um now just removing for God the way they are put it when when you tap to your pocket give something to that that doesn't mean does it doesn't go to the church it goes to to to the Lord I think that's why a lot of people are getting exploited cuz you have seen it we started I think was it 2014 was it 2014 or 2015 so we that we we are we are hearing about 310. So >> so all crazy shenanigans that actually go on these churches but I >> those that are on the good books are actually preaching the right doctrine and following the you know matters church and religion. Yeah, that's that's a whole topic that is very delicate even to to to speak about cuz I think you know something based that as I mentioned something based on your opinions cuz let's say politics everybody has his own opinion you have what you prefer I have what I prefer in sports I have what I prefer you love me I love Messi you love Ronaldo so there's that type of opinions in churches you have what you prefer you like to go to this church I like to go to Catholic you like to go so everybody has their their own opinions >> religion >> his It's all is all on you as an individual just on what you believe in. >> Yeah. Can we finish up for you? >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm seeing I'm looking at the star seeing some of the the highlight here is some some of the things that we'll be talking about later on. Uh saying about chasing greatness massive in incentives drive rise in sports. Then the the subline is games offer more to the youth as talents meet opportunity. So there's some uh some something that is highlighted here about I awards for winners overseas allowance raised from $60 $60 that's about 7,000 7,000 Kenya shillings to $200 at about 25,000 Kenya shillings per day for athletic. So if you're going to play outside Kenya you're going to get about 25,000 Kenya shillings per day just as an allowance >> per day. So that's good. >> So it depends like if it's a whole entire month. >> Yeah. Let's say you're going for the Olympics that means for for the whole entire month 25,000 per day. >> Yes. >> That's a good money from 7,000 to 25,000. So they have they braced the the allowance. Then uh another allowance that have been raised is Kenya that is 5 million Kenya shillings award for athlete who who breaks the world record. Let's say you're you're running a marathon then you break it you break chest record you get 5 million Kenya shillings then three million Kenya shillings be awarded to a gold medalist so if you are going to win any any gold medal for Kenya you get 3 million Kenya shillings then silver medalist will get 2 million then bronze will get 1 million so that's some of the type of awards that are given for for for sports cuz we have seen some some very own athleticity representing in Kenya very well outside them. >> Yes. And kudos man. I think it's a good time to be an athlete in Kenya right now. >> Yeah. >> Now that we are hosting AFCON 2027. >> Yeah. You remember what happened? What happened last year when we had the CH? Yeah. >> They receiving was it 5 million or 1 million per game. >> So for the Afon, you never know. It might be good. >> And they were given awards as well from the presidency too. Actually, >> so these guys are still millionaires because they made >> Yeah, they played five games in total. They played five games. Each game 1 million. That's about 5 million. Then after after the whole tournament, they were added each 5 million. So they have 10 million. >> So Sakari Dan is a millionaire. I knew Dan. So if you know someone who is in shout out, but that's that's a friend too. I think now the crazy thing but we'll talk about it because I think the crazy thing now for the AFCON because I think everybody will know that there'd be money there. >> So the picking >> these guys are rich. >> So the picking of the players is when the controversy will start >> for for for no reason. But also let me let me ask you I heard it's not just the players who are getting this millions on team in uh in the in the studio >> you you are me and you on on the set but even behind the camera everybody's just getting >> production too is getting so is getting a million everybody else if you just hear all the stories cuz I believe a million yeah >> wow >> cuz I believe there'll be a lot of >> happen even in media Yeah, [laughter] >> it all happening in media. >> Our day will come your day. I promise you. >> Now, as we finish up >> before our guests come through, >> millennials generally born between 1981 and 1996 have witnessed an extraordinary stretch of history. the rise of the internet, 911 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, >> the 2008 financial crisis, a global pandemic, and now the rapid AI revolution. Many experienced these shifts during their most formative years. uh Pew research found out that 86% of millennials considered 911 of the most significant events of their lifetime while the great recession hit the generation especially hard as many were entering the work the workforce. So they're saying millennials have gone through a lot of traumas in terms of seeing generational changes and generational gaps. Mhm. >> I did not experience an 11 because that happened in America anyways. >> But I read about it in the past years. >> Which one? The financial crisis definitely are still young. Mhm. >> I think the wars in Afghanistan's seen a lot and now the biggest adaptation that they have to you know put up with is the rapid AI revolution >> which is also re relevant to the conversation you're about to have like millennials how are you guys surviving you're still mentally same >> you've [laughter] not lost it like your mind is still together, bro. Millennials are special. >> Yeah, they've gone through. >> If you are a millennial, I'm giving you a special award recognition for surviving the worst of the worst in life. >> And if you're still [laughter] going and strong and still focused, chasing a career, >> chasing that money, working to achieve your dreams, >> as Saqua from morning, I'm recognizing you as God's strongest. In fact, not even God's. Yes, let's add God's strongest soldier. Life's strongest soldier, the strongest person in life is a millennial. I'm recognizing you. This is my special recognition to all millennials. Like you've been through all >> bonus bonus. You have to deal with Jenz's. >> Jenz's it's a whole Jenz. But actually over the weekend I read an update that said Jenz's have um in terms of population they're bigger than I think they're 2.47 from the article I read. Millennials account for 2.43 in terms of billion. the whole entire world population. So, Jinzi have still they have their own kashabang going on. But for millennials, as a millennial, I can honestly tell you how I even journeyed up to where I am today and I'm still going and I've not lost my mind. >> You've seen it all, bro. with what has happened in the past, even with losing my dad too in the public domain. >> Trust me, millennials, I'm I'm I'm celebrating you on behalf [laughter] >> cuz how do you survive all these things and still be happy in life and still going strong? >> I think they have said a lot of things even I saw something on Tik Tok about um do you remember was when Nairobi was bombed? Think was it 1998 or was it? >> Yeah. >> Yes, that was 1998. >> Yeah. The the in downtown. >> How old was that? I can't even remember. I also read it too. Maybe I was just told here. >> Yeah. So, there's a there's a name that I'm forgetting, but there's a name that they call that place. >> So, the guy went to a bomblast. >> Yeah. Bomblast. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Bomblast. Yeah. So, that's the name. So, the guy was saying if you if you tell me let's meet on on bomblast, [laughter] can you please explain what is bombast? Where do you want me to meet you at Bomblas? Which place is called a bomblas? So there's that. But the thing is you have seen I think you have seen most of things cuz you um from even from the from the from the analog age to the digital age the transition everything that you even even let's say the 207 the post election violence. Yes. >> So I think they have seen everything. So kudos to them and also you have been through it. AI you have to familiarize yourself with AI. >> Yes, I remember the name. This is the name. >> Artificial intelligence. >> Artificial intellig [laughter] I remember. I remember remember a time when my dad now they they were forced yeah they were forced actually cuz he's a teacher so there's that transition between uh the old type of of 844 system to CBC the CBE type of system so they were forced even to go back to school >> just to upskill that so I'm just relating even cuz now they came to a point where you had to know how to use a computer you had to know all to use that you remember you you have worked for about 15 years without even touching a single computer. You just going to the books, the chalk pen or the book, the marker pen and all that. Now you're forced not to do a whole transition. >> Yeah. Now you're going you're now being forced to use AI. That's why you find in some ways some situation even your parents comes to you and ask you even the video is a dog being chased by police like literally you see this not the reality but because of a high the things that can do right now. Yeahusing for them and it's relevant actually to the conversation you're about to have. You're exiting. Tell them. >> Okay. So at 9:00 a.m. of course we'll be talking about economics in sports. We'll be looking about how much does a Kenyan athlete and we have seen about the bonuses they're going to receive. So we want to know about the grassroots the football the grassroot football how much does that person and who wants to be maybe a major athlete in Kenya.
