rima she co, patrick. so good 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 siesta, please. and it's basically a use organization. we teach them about the constitution and engage them in elections and politics. get to have a she co welcome to the screen. please introduce yourself. thank you for me. my name is sure he caught up with tribe last year. we worked with young people and then created low analysts. we basically do a little blood work around our 2nd savvy, and patrick, welcome back to the street. nice to have you remind our international viewers who you are, what you do. thanks for having me back. my name is patrick deborah, i'm the curator and she thought the elephant mom also political cartoonist and right, are based in there. okay. all right, so friend is this the very best that can you can do in terms of the next president

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 don't think it's an issue of whether it's of birth. it's really all that 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, 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. by when you look across separate carina again, 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 called and i'm sorry to say that it's festival. well,

we will decide if that's who we are gonna vote for the us. we are going to work because it's our tribes. we don't care what they stand for and i lend router. i'm not the best we have. we have so many good people, but it just overlooked that because they have not studied enough. they have no show teddy mouth. they have not done anything to be recognized because in the states i who are this good people, a little boy that he does let know is coming out. it means to me, it is not even sure guessing. we're not talking about he, we have the on my go did it. but that's why i agree with chico where the media portrays. he does i to horse race, but there are other candidates 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 are, they defeat jewels actually more than 10. i ok, so that's that. but anyway, my patrick 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 wind 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, in 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 for a good president, i think will 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 pencils, fix or problem. so they don't even we, but you 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 chasing one of their 1st women to go for presidency. but right now we're talking about my friend who are, who is also another woman, they stick enrollment for presidency and she might be going for deputy. but she, 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. so nice new lima, can i go? but she was there, then we may in june in july. if, if,

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 today? let's 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 feel 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 alas with this budget 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 know, you know what to need to set down. we're good up point 2 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 stuck with some of the we men. what intentionally removed from the bottle of us. why his tells you that this was said, i really it is very, getting them off because i'm 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. the men are taking care of their friends,

mamma, under turn 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 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 an election for parliament. so that 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, remind 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? what is the campaign price? let's have a listen. it's hamlet. i accept, there's no militia with absolute good. it's and dedication draw a 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 study 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 dinner to support his candidacy. and that's why he's saying 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 such as to given if i would say would be 2002 where it took out that we did national re, why lions and mean the political parties that individuals came together behind for my president, wake you back, you who you mentioned has passed on and the whole country just basically wanted to get rid of president more at the time. oh, that's why we've seen so much of a push. and he 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 and what they want full. of course, everybody's heading to what e corner me, although they're trying to use, afraid 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 tribes together. so that's kind of the lingo about their utilizing,

but i don't think that that different when you look at both 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 good like was coming in. but i kind of feel like one thing that gets in growth is that we've seen the clinician meeting with the rainbow coalition when it's happen when it's happened, all the parties had to kind of the sole parties to carbon from one correlation. so it was for them, it was very alive in terms of the coping. and this is also the tribal grouping that we do, tanya, how will she couldn't wholly less if she had this is what you call the idiots festival. correct. the idea that yes and my groups in can you a went up to an exam with a dental if i had an election. thank you. in moving on,

we got your vote or in 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 patching we act on 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 shoes owners. they are also business owners. we should respect them and uplift them, so that can you can move forward. shima to us idea. duke enables a quite a bit. i see to say that avoid a is a very efficient form, a transfer on the back of the bike. good luck with that. hope he make it to your

destination. go ahead, go ahead. and i mean, obviously the, the, or the deputy present history to frame. he is competing as a sort of lumping in new in canyon 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 but one of the people he cause a hospice. but there is a chink in what he saying. i mean days are a lie embedded in bear because who has been ignoring these people. these guy has been in office reader are martz's 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

a cabinet doors done. um, 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 on would describe, ah, this lecture as the 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 to us is stock. so be game about asked moved, but no proposals, no, nothing policy wise either that he is put you want the same thing irma with what's his name? i'm always i law dingo. yeah. you know with as a meal it talk like i want you right now. right. right you she the you you want to give it to me yes offer me yet a half hour or both. no rima and shook off compared this election to the 2001 but i think the more passionate 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 are split now between as the mule and rotors outfit, our interest in 2002, we were very interested in getting more out on that. it 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 to people 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. 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?

this year it's gonna be difficult just because of their finances that it takes to 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. it 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 already just a general or generalized statement and positions. but there's nothing specific that you're getting out of them. they all keep saying, wait for the money for us to a spot where i know in canyon a history and for the ticking the money for us was don't really all look the same or problem is the same thing. i 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 or 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 in between elections, which is when the stealing opens, which is a when the policies are meant to be implemented. the election is effect a quote for the politicians and they have managed to convince us that that is where we should do well, i don't right now. no, really, really you thing out and then she can get 2nd. and 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 won't know exactly that is exactly what i want to say.

thank you, because i say, yes, 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 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 are saying get of what does 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 of the way it is. we're going to continue to see a decline in such

a specialty election. a wonderful i do. it's numa and also to adam, but those colgate covered happened and that will additions this up yet. we saw them after called it went out and they kept them paid. so they came back to life. as of they have all the tut yet they are crippled, 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 coded 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 gone into it or she can let me play this for you. this is from alchemy and she patrick, how tight from i went to 2nd grade, 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, have a listen to our community and then respect, respond immediately afterwards. the commissioner responsible for monitoring the speech on socio political and we get platforms us back it while because we shall last the legal mackenzie to basically 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 qualities to incite and influence voting patterns. as a result, kennels democratic processes are made by violence, mostly enabled by hateful and discriminatory politics. for content moderation by facebook to try and pick talk is dangerously feeling propaganda. oh, i like the fog. let it the less guess look about for content because right now election is being 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 go on and hate attack each other short people on line. so it does become chaotic finance. i will talk about the commission that is monday said to regulate hits rich, where we think, oh, i know is a just las 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 at the end of the day cannot do anything of what form produced statements. but this still sitting on kennan malone says, finance 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 inciting people was say, put to got

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 called 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, can we believe our eyes heavily novela chemically. so the one

you want to lose, one of which i'm old. so a little bit more about the call with all my report hood with i got a window church. you should see. most of them are good, bush windshield good. in short, we will look abuse. a good will. will i ever believe a crowd that i ever seen? 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

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 with 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 it offers after the election. if i wanted to check the old matter, paula, i read my you got, i was thinking you tube audience, we appreciate you. thanks for watching everybody. cnx timed. ah,
