11:35 am
the cream of politics in kenya? patrick, you start? well, i don't think it's an issue of whether it's a beth. it's really all that we have to be quite honest. i think i look at who has the capacity to actually get elected, who's got the name recognition, who's been there long enough? who do people, who are the guys, people who gravitate to whether they are the best i would speak to that. i don't think they are, but when you look across the bridge, carina, i can say they that much better to be on. she can, your face is given your way, your face and that shaking of your head. tell us, well go ahead. i'm just like, i think we do saw elections to something i call and i'm sorry to say that it's a civil. well, we will decide to we are going to vote for the not. we are going to vote because
11:36 am
it's tribesman, we don't care what his son, full island boots are not the best we have. we have so many good people, but it just overlooked because they have not feeling enough. they have no show to the mouth. they have no done anything to because as because it may be who are these good people will when he does one coming up the mr. mit is most adventure guess that you have. we are not talking about, we have the money to go and that's why i agree with chico where the media portrays it as i to hasse race. but there are not, 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 way it looks like it's so much focused on these 2 particular individuals. and these 2 particular parties of coalition, but they,
11:37 am
i think the visuals actually more than 10. i ok. 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, or the one is better than the other in the system that we have is with the options . you know, if you look at to elections, for example, 2002, when we thought we were getting the best that we had, you know, 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, we're a good president. i think we'll miss the point. the problem is the system we are putting them in. so, um, when i look around, i don't think we are going to get any mess i, as will, was to turn up intervals,
11:38 am
fix all problems, they don't. and we, but you know, in the system but we are a that's, that's all we need to get rid of. but this was 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 i took, i bought my car who are, who is also another woman, they stick enrollment for presidency and she might be going for 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 niema, can i go? but she was there. then we may ange june in july. if, if, if i may friends in july of 2017, we had
11:39 am
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 goes to that was 5 years ago. how we doing right now? how many women all have prospects? so i will say a tissues had more women trying to come out and thought, but unfortunately the tuition is more or less the same within it. even the last
11:40 am
with these spots and 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 would have been omitted. of sin, women who are very popular, who have come paint for the longest time. big so know, you know what to need to set down. we're good up point to 70. so we still seeing political parties working against the women who are trying to buy. and amazingly, we've even dealt with guesses within our own stuff was well, some of the we men were intentionally removed from the bottle of us. why his tells you that this was said, i really it is visiting them off because more popular than the kind of is the why would they do that? i know the answer, i should know. ask a question. i know the answer. i explain why the women would be pushed off the ballot. ah, well, it is an all boys club to be honest. ah, but the men are taking care of their friends. mamma,
11:41 am
under turned to put in people with whom they are comfortable with people who they think they can are work with drop the rest of us. and i think in the end the it's, it's, it's, i'm old 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'm not in the. i was beside, i 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 well, this clearly nor 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 mind a little bit to march the 122022. this is in violet. a. dingo accepted the nomination 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?
11:42 am
what is that campaign price? as have a listen, it's have a lot. i accept this nomination with absolute good. it and dedication draw a country and all the other parties that have endorsed this nomination yonder to me are strong, broad on the unified blood phone does turned on an additional pair of hands drilled, skidded the ship. well, it's interesting because there's been so many parties actually almost 20 that have come behind, full non pre minister re loading to support his county dc. and that's where he think that it is such a strong platform for him. and he's something that we have never quite seen the last time that we saw,
11:43 am
such as to given if 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 more at the time. so 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 meant, then i'm going to make sure that i go through and focus on the people in kenya and what they wish for what they want full, of course, everybody's heading to what e core know me, although they are trying to use a free me 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 link they're utilizing. but i don't think that that different when you look at both come
11:44 am
this summer. and i also feel yes, she can go ahead, sorry for me. but i feel like with the clinician did something that they of course wanted to emulate what's happened in chico into winter, but it was coming in. but i kind of feel like one thing that getting grown is that within the clinician meeting with the rainbow coalition, when it's happened, when it happened, all the petitions had to kinda sold their parties to carbon from one coalition. so it was for them to live in terms of the coping. and this is also the tribal grouping, but we do oh yeah. oh well, she goes in holy less that she can. this is what you call the idiots festival. correct. the idea that yes and my groups in canyon are whipped up to you after exam when the deadline out of the election. as i thank you in, in you're moving on, we got your vote, are 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
11:45 am
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, we act of the back of it. while cut him will not be a mom. boy i'm, i'm a law cannot. my daughter cannot view when you're telling us about power and government positions. we want to tell you of the boat, a boater, and those pulling hand carts, vegetable vendors, touts, barbershop owners and cobblers shooters. they are also business owners. we should respect them and uplift them. so that can, you can move forward. shima to us idea look enabled a quite a bit. i see to say that affordable, there is a very efficient solar transfer on the back of the bike. good luck with that to help you make it to your destination. go ahead, go ahead. um, i mean,
11:46 am
obviously the, the, or the deputy president his tried to frame his campaign as a sort of lumping in new in kenya and politics. there are, it's no longer bought, appealing to ethnic blocks by appealing to almost, ah, the, and her out of it, the under developed masses. 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 e, cause a hospice. but there is a chink in what he saying. i mean days are a lie embedded in there because who has been ignoring these people. these guy has been in office. reader are marks is to a differ tid, 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 it working out i was done. oh, so i think our innocence, he's just utilizing, ah, a torpedo as you to a thing,
11:47 am
a narrative. but there is nothing really embedded in it. in fact, john, good on would describe, ah, this lecture as the electron about nothing at all. and is really the 1st day we've got an election where did both candidates, none of them is actually proposing anything that is serious all to us is stock. so big game about as smith, but no proposals. they know nothing, policy wise. if he is put you want the same thing irma with what's his name? i'm always i low dingo. yeah. you know with as a meal adult talk like i watch it right now. all right. are you a for me? yeah, guy power, both marina and shook off compared this election to the 2001. but i think the more passionate elections is 2013. what are in 2002, you had
11:48 am
a huge source of grouping and coalition on one side 2013. it was split and the same way we are split now between as a mule and rotors outfit. our interest in 2002, we were very invested in getting more out there. and that was really the driving sport. in 2013, we knew your back, he was going and just us today people enjoy who's going, you know, so i think the middle of the stuff that guess if i may, i'm just going to bring in some of the idea of 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 can. now, i'm 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? this year it's gonna be difficult just because of their finances that it takes to
11:49 am
run a campaign. their finance act try to protect cap, but we're talking about 4000000000 shillings that a lot of young people don't have access to. so this time around it's going to be difficult and know. all right, patrick, this one also very quickly. this is from call on you chip. a wants to know what router and 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, i 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 then and for the ticking the manifestos don't really all look the same or problem is the same thing i serve. can you the elections project? i to talk about the
11:50 am
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 are 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 do well, we're right now. no, no, we my 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 vote exactly that is exactly what i wanted to say. thank you a, because i say yes,
11:51 am
i feel like this is one election 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 a rebel non 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 don't defy with who are making sense to them. and the way it is we're going to continue to see a decline even satisfaction of elections. a fall.
11:52 am
i do, it's numa and also to other those covey coven happened in the additions. yet we saw them after will be doing out and they kept them paid. so they came back to life. as of they have all of hut, yet they are group or lost 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 code with it. so those are people who cannot even trust. but then because elections has been put as a 1st of all that we all have to come out. we have to would 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 gone into it 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 speech and hate politics. she co, this is ground that i know you know very well,
11:53 am
have a listen to our community and them respect responded immediately afterwards. the commissioner's flexible form monitoring if you had a speech on socio political and we get platforms us like it in its mandate while because we shall last the legal mckenzie to persecute public to us or a speech and missing from mission. this means that the political class and they were taken very seriously and as the election visually hotly contested, whereby political candidates use tribal politics to incite an inference voting patterns. as a result can, as democratic processes are made by violence, mostly enabled by hateful and discriminatory politics. for contin, what are issued by facebook to try and pick talk is dangerously feeling propaganda . well, i let the fuck leather the last guest book about brooklyn than that because right now election is being run by propaganda misinformation. and it is information
11:54 am
always seen all the politicians know how long does a young people are 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 to to regulate hits rich, where we think i know is a just list dog. and i'm story because, um, we have seen them again and again through um products that they don't take anywhere . we have a commission that connotes prosecute to have a commission, thus at the end of the day can not do anything of what form produced statements. but thus tell sitting on kennan allowances finance axes and still feeding on these a pot for all the fuel campaigns. you've seen them driving one light to be honest. what is the impact they have on the grow? we've seen them. um, listen, someone been that i said patrol for insights in people was say, put to got a statement that was insightful. and then after to this because they have the money,
11:55 am
they know. so in st. paul, i become 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 the structure of i wanted to know how our audience that you recommended that i watch an n t v documentary called crowds for hire. it's that behind the scenes is the shenanigans that will 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 or using a secret identity. but i think is a really interesting placed the end because as we see more more rallies happening, can we believe our eyes heavily novela chemically
