7:32 am
it would have been nearly impossible for him simply to write a check for $44000000000.00. and people on wall street knew that not impossible, but quite difficult. what he needed was finance, the 30 quarter sentence activist osman cavallo to life in prison for attempting to overthrow the government charges related to financing protest in 2013 and involvement in a 2016 attempted to the us and europe's top court have called the sentence a disappointment and if you pay the 2 great people's liberation front says it's completely withdrawn all of its forces from the neighboring a region. i hope they withdraw will allow me to reach too great or 90 percent of the regions population needs food date. those are the headline news continues, how knowledge is era after history on counting the cost, sri lanka,

7:34 am
welcome to remax, she co fire tricks. i get to have you all here. marina, please introduce yourself to our international audience. thanks for having me. i'm near my walk or the executive director of c. s, the please. and it's basically a use organization. we teach them about the constitution and engage them in elections and politics. get to after she co. welcome to the screen, please introduce yourself. thank you for me. my name is shook he co with trey bless you. we work with young people and anchorage is low lifts. we basically do a little advocacy and around leadership a 2nd to have you. and patrick, welcome back to the street. nice to have you remind our international viewers who you are and what you do. thanks for having me back. my name is patrick deborah, i'm the curator in chief of the elephant mom, also a political cartoonist and a writer based in there. okay. all right, so friend is this the very best that can you can do in terms of the next president
7:35 am
of kenya. these a light is to be the main candidates right at dinner and william router is that the best, the cream of politics in kenya. patrick, is that well i, i don't think it's an issue of whether it's of birth is really all we have to be quite honest. i think you're looking at who has the capacity to actually get elected or who's got the name recognition, who's been there long enough? who do people? so who are the guys for people who have gravity to whether they're the best i wouldn't speak to that. i don't think they are, but when you look across separate carina, i couldn't today's it much better to be honest. she can, your face is given you away your face and that, that shaking of your head. tell us more, go ahead. i just like, i think we introduced the elections to something i called and i'm sorry to say that it's 1st of all when we reduce the tool,
7:36 am
we are gonna vote for the us. we are going out with because it's our tribes. we don't care what they stand for and i lend, i'm not the best we have. we have so many good people, but it just look bad because they have not studied enough. they have no show teddy mouth. they have not done anything to because most because in missouri, east i who are this good people, a little boy as little as it was coming out. it means to me it is not even sure guessing. we're not talking about he. we have a young man to go to that country, but that's why i agree with chico where the media portrays it as i to host race. but there. and that can be beats who don't even make it to their prime time. or we don't even get to see them or their campaign or anything like that. and so that's
7:37 am
way it looks like it's so much focused on these 2 particular individuals. and these 2 particular parties of coalition, but they are they d, v jewels actually more than 10. i. okay. so that's that. but at any time i should go ahead. yeah. go ahead. patrick. yeah. i mean, the question was about quality of candidates. it whether these are the best that we have. and my argument is, i mean, really trying to gauge where the wind is better than the other in the system that we have is with the options it, oh, if you look at to elections, for example, 2002, when we thought you were getting the best that we had it or how we ended up with people who behaved very much of the thieves that we had. these are replaced. so in essence, when we focus on, well, let's look for a good leader. let's look for a good president, i think will miss the point. the problem is the system we are putting them in. so
7:38 am
um, when i look around, i don't think we are going to get any mess i as will, was to turn up pencils, fix or problem. so they don't even, we should know in the system, but we are a that's, that's all we need to get rid of. but this'll be the last election. i was going to have what for cut, who are, i know, i mean i feel that they've been individuals in the races including i chasing one of their 1st women to go for presidency. but right now we're talking about my car who are, who is also another woman, they stick enrollment for presidency. and she might be going for a deputy. but she's somebody that i really been somebody that i've worked for previously. and i think she's an individual who can make a good president even though that's not the position she's going for now. so i think they are good people. i think we just don't book with them because last time have words came to about 100. sometimes lima, can i go? but she was there. then we may in june in july. if, if,
7:39 am
if i may friends in july of 2017, we had a show all female politicians from kenya talking about the struggle to get into politics. this is what esther told us in 2017. how true is it to day and have a look. i think kenya has really progressed in the sense that we've actually got it in our constitution that not more than 2 thirds of one gender. so it's there. unfortunately, women have not been empowered financially so that they can actually go for these positions and they're doing it on their own. political parties have still not been able to field women and women have not really come forward. as daisy said, even if all the women were elected, we still will not get the numbers right. she comes to that was 5 years ago. how we doing right now? how many women all have prospects? so i will say a tissue had more women trying to come out and bought,
7:40 am
but unfortunately the situation is more or less the same within it. even the last with these but to provide evidence, but just we just completed last week. we've seen women being told to give up their positions because there's a, an affirmative action that could have been nominated. we've seen women who are very popular, who have come pain for the longest time being so know you know what to need to set down. we got up point 2 to 70, so we still seeing political parties working against the we men who are trying to buy. and amazingly, we've even dealt with guesses within our own stuff was were some of the we men were intentionally removed from the bottle of hip us. why his tells you that this one said i really it is visiting them off because that more popular because it is why with 18. i know the answer, i should know. ask a question. i know the answer. all right, patrick, explain why the women will be pushed off the ballot. ah, well, it is an all boys club to be honest. ah,
7:41 am
but the men are taking care of their friends. mamma, under turned to put in people with whom they are comfortable with people who they think they can are work with to rob the rest of us. and i think in the end the it's, i'm all boys network are that's there that will try to push out. i'm women were really seen as interlopers. and i mean, you can think about a re must book about, i mean, i mean the i was beside you spoke about the truth as gender rule and how they've refused to implement it in our way comes to a lecture for parliament. so, but there is clearly no political desire or will amongst the man who ran kenya to expand it so they can include women into this. so i'm just going to play, i'm just gonna go back out. we went a little bit to march the 122022. this is in violet. dingo. accepted the nomination
7:42 am
to be our presidential candidate. knowing the will you listen very carefully? what policies are you hearing? what's the mandate that he's promising? what is the campaign price? as have a listen, it's hamlet. i accept, there's no militia with absolute good and dedication draw our country and all the other parties that have endorsed this nomination. yonder to me as drawn, broad and unified blood phone was turned on an additional pair of hands drilled to steady the ship. well, it's interesting because there's been so many parties actually almost 20 that have come behind for non payment history. no didn't got to stop. forty's candidacy, and that's why he think that it's such a strong platform for him. and he's something that we have never quite seen the
7:43 am
last time that we saw, such as togetherness, i would say, would be 2002. where it took out that we've been national re alliance and many political parties that individuals came together behind for my president, mikey becky, who you mentioned has passed on and the whole country just basically wanted to get rid of president boy at the time. oh, that's why we've seen so much of a push and he's just basically saying that now that i have this kind of stuff, what that is the man, then i'm going to make sure that i go through and focus on the people in kenya and what they wish for and what they want will. of course everybody's heading to what e caught me, although they are trying to use a framing where as the new is trying to look like they are one. and they're talking themselves as the one alliance, which is unity. and bringing all the types together. so that's kind of the lingo about their utilizing. but i don't think that that different when you look at both
7:44 am
come this summer and i also feel, oh yes, she to go ahead. sorry for me. but i feel like with this mil clinician, something that they of course one to simulate what's happened in 2002 when can was coming in. but i kind of feel like one thing that getting grown up within the clinician meeting with the rainbow coalition when it's happened. when it happened, all the parties had to kinda sold their parties to carbon from one condition. so it was for them to live in terms of their coping. and this is also the tribal grouping that we do. oh yeah. oh well she couldn't holy less. but she got this is what you call the idiots festival. correct. the idea that yes and lies groups in can you a went top to ask exam when a dental, if had an election. thank you. in moving on, we got your vote. all right,
7:45 am
patching have a listen to this for me. this is a william router. there is so much intrigue behind who is supporting who the current president should be supporting his deputy president. but he is not, is a whole soap opera going on. but let's have a listen to that as with the deputy president, and what he says he's going to be campaigning for. if people vote for him here he is, patrick, react of the back of it. while cut him will not be a mom. boy, i'm a malacca nama, that i cannot view when you're telling us about power and government positions. we want to tell you of the boat bobo and those pulling hand carts, vegetable vendors, touts, barbershop owners and cobblers charmers. they are also business owners. we should respect them and uplift them. so that can, you can move forward. shima to us idea. you can a with a kind of big i should just say that affordable it a is a very efficient on the transport in the back of the bike. good luck with that to
7:46 am
help you make it to your destination. go ahead, go ahead. and i mean obviously the, the, or the deputy president his day to frame his campaign as a sort of lumping in new in korean politics. there are, it's no longer about appealing to ethnic blocks by appealing to almost, ah, the, and her out of it, the under developed classes, the, the people who've been ignored by the system, ah, for, for a long time. and those are the bottom one of the people he cause a hospice. but there is a chink in what he's saying. i mean days are a lie embedded in bed because who has been ignoring these people. these guy has been in office leader are martz's to do 13 that are are my, he's been the deputy president of the republic and for a long time was a very loyal deputy president, had been promised to get his 10 years after get
7:47 am
a can yet i was done, i'm so i think our in essence, he's just utilizing, ah, i to be done as utilizing a narrative. but there is nothing really embedded in it. in fact, john get longer. describe, ah, this election as an electron about nothing at all. and it's really the 1st day we've got an election where did both candidates, none of them is actually proposing anything that is serious, all does is stalks law be game about ass moved, but no proposals, no, nothing policy wise that he is put, you know, at the same thing irma with what's his name? i'm always i law dingo. yeah. you know with as a neil it talk. i know what you right now. all right. thank you. she knew it was given to me. yes. offer me. yeah. cap on both norama and shook off compared this election to the 2001. but i think the more passionate
7:48 am
elections is 2013. what are in 2002, you had a huge source of grouping and coalition on one side 2013. it was split and the same way we were split now between as the meal and rose outfit. our, my interest in 2002, we were very invested. been getting more out. and i was really the driving force in 2013, we new get back. you was going and just us today people, noy, who is going, you know, so i think the middle ice will discuss the guess if i may, i'm just going to bring in some of i do believe audience because you are inspiring them to, to actually talk to you a couple of thoughts. i want you to react this as quickly as you, as you can. and we are going to put this one to you from. are you from you chip? same old candidates, can we get some new young guys asked that question in a sentence? is that possible this year?
7:49 am
this year it's gonna be difficult just because of their finances that it takes to run a campaign. their finance act try to put a cap, but we're talking about 4000000000 shillings that a lot of young people don't have access to. so this time around is going to be difficult and know. all right, patrick, this one also very quickly. this is from call on you chip. it wants to know what router and a dingus terms of development policies are going forward. do they have development policies for kenya? are you hearing them? i'm well, no, all they have really just a general or generalized statements and positions, but there's nothing specific that you're getting out of them. they all keep saying, wait for the manifestos, but i know in canyon a history and for the ticking the money fresh was don't really all look the same or problem is the same thing and i serve,
7:50 am
can you the elections project? i to talk about the efficacy of elections. no, because we keep pushing people to participate in them, but they never seem to deliver um anything that is a changes in the lives of can yeah. as an adult to jump my face. and i think we really need to get a bit more or more serious about how people participate in the years in between elections, which is when the stealing opens, which is a when the policies are meant to be implemented. the election is a specter calling for the politicians and they have managed to convince us that that is where we should invest. so right now, maybe new email, new in the you thing, and then she can get a 2nd. let me just bring in a because who's watching right now because thank you so much because says this will be the apathy election. we will not exactly that is exactly what i wanted to say.
7:51 am
thank you, because i say, yeah, yes, i feel like this is one a lecture where we're seeing a lot of young people just, you know, what, forget it. i don't want to be involved in it. and i think that is going to continue to grow in a way i think that there's rebel none. what's happening right now, and i don't think we even quite understand that. i don't think our elections boundaries commission understands that as well. and it's in a we young people going against what their parents want them to do was parents, i say get you with this. god get out there, participate and the youth are saying, no, i don't want to. and i've had so many parents come up to me and say, i don't know what to tell my kids in the mall. and so in a sense, i think we're seeing a shift in our country that we're not even beginning to understand. and it's only gonna change when young people see people that they didn't defy with who are making sense to them. and the way it is we're going to continue to see
7:52 am
a decline even start to spatial election. a wonderful i do. it's numa and also 2 of those colgate cove. it happened in the video edition, yet we saw them after will be doing out and they kept them paid. so they came back to life as they have all the tut yet they. uh huh. last jobs, over 60 percent of them, no jobless, hopeless wrath. so the simple additions for coming to tell us they're going to provide jobs that they were not there to push them as when cold with it. so those are people who cannot even trust. but then because emissions has been put as a 1st of all that we all have to come out. we have to what someone, we have to just pick up books that other end of the day i was really like, this is not for us. let those who benefit from it than gordon or she can let me play this figure. this is from alchemy and she patrick, how tight from i would just i can get a little bit of space from a couple of our community that we spoke to earlier. and they talked about hate
7:53 am
speech and hate politics. she co, this is ground that i know, you know very well, have a listen to our community and them respect, respond immediately afterwards. the commission responsible for monitoring if we went to speech on socio political and we get platforms us back in its mandate while because we shall last the legal mackenzie to persecute a speech and missing from mission. this means that the political class never taken very seriously, and as the election visually hotly contested, whereby political candidates use tribal politics to incite and influence voting patterns. as a result can as democratic processes are made by violence, mostly enabled by hateful and discriminatory politics. for contin, what their issues by facebook today and tick tock is dangerously feeling propaganda . oh i like the fog, let it the less guess look about for content because right now election is being
7:54 am
run by propaganda misinformation and it is information we seen all the politicians know how long does and up a young people, those and shillings that is equivalent to $10.00 or something. oh, to no goin and hate attack each other short people on line. so it does become chaotic bookings. i will talk about the commission that is monday said to regulate hits rich, where we think, oh, i know is a just list dog and i'm sorry because um we have seen them again and again through us that they don't take anywhere. we have a commission that connotes prosecute to have a commission, thus are the end of the day, cannot do anything of what form produced sentiments. but this still sitting on kenyan alone says, pin and sucks is and still feeding on these a pot for all the fuel campaigns. we've seen them driving one light to be honest. what is the impact they have on the ground? we've seen them. um, listen, someone been that i said patrol for insights in people was say put to got
7:55 am
a statement that was insightful and then after 2 days because they have the money, they know swing, swing, probably come out and nothing up. it's. we now know that the commission is working with the government. so at the end of the day, it's not going. the government is, are a detective site, so it does not work to be done, but it is not going to solve the people it, it'll be subbing the interest of someone ah, in this truck. so i wanted to know how our audience that you recommended that i watch an n t v. documentary co crowds for hire. it's that behind the scenes is the shenanigans that won't politicians do to make crowds happen. how they spread the influence, how may be, what you're seeing in the campaign will not be reflected at the ballot box. this gentleman that without he from his coat immobilizing, he whips up the campaigns. he had to speak using a secret identity. but i think it's a really interesting place to end because as we see more more rallies happening,
7:56 am
can we believe our eyes heavily novela chemically? so the one you want to lose, one of which i'm old. so luca was more. oh, okay. all over him approach. ah, you know the remote fee, but i got the window just you shouldn't see. most of them are good windshield. good and short. we will look abuse, learned tacoma will be a good will. will i ever believe a crowd that i ever seeing? can you ever get and i have to say, of course it's not just can you this happens the world over all right. day we full months before a general election call it, ah mariama, who's going to be the next president of kenya in a sentence? i only 2 outcomes, i don't know who their president will be. will either have
7:57 am
a very terrible turn out or very good turn out because it's too close and everyone will be trying to get every single word. because every single chic i won't last sentence, you're going to leave us with you know, i feel like young with the moment, but got this. it means you have what it all, but at the end of the day. but we feel like it's already stretched out. so we need to plan ourselves. patrick, your final sentence is what is dondo got the election? don't put too much state can. it doesn't really matter who gets in o'clock offers after the election. if i like the old mother paula, i really am i you? good. i was thinking you tube audience, we appreciate you. thanks for watching everybody. cnx time. ah
