a muscle. so should justice and rights defender get tathina. i know it's this yourself audience around the world. i hello, my name is a be now my center for executive director, but the africa i call to be politically engagement over grass retreatment organizing in chalmers and the young women. let's have a look at the for presidential candidates. ladies. tell me how nervous each one of them is likely to be right now. so let's start with violet. i think it is a feeling confident she co. he's very nervous at this moment, but also there's a lot of tension and i was, i had to, i let it. so i think also with the pressure that he's receiving from support does, i believe is super super of us at the moment. let's go back to william router bina, how do you think williams feeling right now? the margins between both presidential candidates are very small. currently given

the lust results that we were able to see as trimming in before they were brought down from the media stations. so pretty much even for presidential candidates, william, brutal, he is pretty novice cherokee. and she has asked the same time as we've also seen, support us from both sides trying to claim victory already. that i don't know why they even doing that. that's not possible. we'll get back to that in just a moment. right? georgia, korea is easy, easy out having a beer relaxed because he's like, no chance she go. oh does i have a joke? i don't think his evade. he doesn't even care what it is, hoping i will certainly make that jealous statements can that you got to be period, but as a 1000000000 people, i think when you put that i loading. so i just think he's just that and his from field he's mid flight of a whole. they will credit contribute to but he's been

a good destruction. yeah. ok. and, and then the leader of the a gone, no party been a you help us out with this final kind of, they haven't have much about. and of course kenyans have a lot international audience. what do we need to know? is he nervous? is he getting any results at all? i think he's rather disappointed because he rein on morality ground and given the fact that we only see that in kenya and 90 percent of us actually christian. so to see the numbers below one percent and standing up, i mean, even this christians, i think that the point, do you remember the voting day was a painful, easy for you? what struck you from tuesday, your voting experience. so what struck me, number one was the very short q, i remember into the 17 and i went to vote. i took about fall and i thought about the fall was a q. and this time around only spent about 15 minutes on q,

and i observed according to the majority of the young people and q and especially young women. so that struck me or not voting. so i'm just thinking she can short choose because a good organizational short case because no one could be bothered to vote actually bus. i think this time val. and are they electoral what has been a beat or bitter or get it done before? so we saw that or the land, so our fast moving, they went not as stretched us other times, but also the what apathy we didn't, we saw it is that in most cases have 80 percent or reduced. what does appear have no head their own? 4045 percent are so that means we had the higher number of people nodes coming out to what i am curious about the mood in kenya right now from the people who didn't vote in the people who did vote. i am going to go to back to you, she co,

but via 2 residents of nairobi, thinking about this space between the election day and the results coming out. this is what they're thinking about right now. no j. o at even though there are not many people in town, i do see signs of peace. people vote peacefully returns to work and i see can you moving forward? and that will be packing that men on the sofa so far there is no fighting. i've not heard of any problems anywhere before, even though they have not announced the winter. i urged the youth to be calm and maintain order and a 0 problems. anyway, chicago, what he thank i right, it's been come. i only call it the season after christmas when you don't know what you're supposed to do before it's new. yes. how does that this? i was full of anxiety. i just think kenyans have really these for us has struck us

because i can say we can see how democracy has grown over time and being able to see people engaged and people make fun of each other site and good luck to the making would mean somebody's election, i was looking for these actually i said clearing, send me means that are suitable for work because my work is big. and if i get some really good ones during the show, i would show them to tell us about a few. the means that you've seen that have cracked you are. so we will actually head names of cook with just like making fun of how one side will behave of their law and wings and also dislike that tension. i think one of the common things that signals have been saying is that when that this time around was kenyans have used to live with us more than any other time in the world. so really been using our bathrooms because of that. but also the question of out there is something that was saying, but it's coming home. so we've been laughing and saying since that the media stations, us showing different tallies depending on where they've started telling us who i've

been saying, everybody has their 5th president. so depending on if, whoever i to switch on to your best it should say this is curious looking, yeah, how should i, this is really curious because there's a gap of information. so you can look online and you can see how the election results are coming in from the leg tauriel body and in about 70 percent results. right now the last time i looked, but that gap with information is being filled by misinformation being a what have you seen? so personally, i have seen some supporters from a different side of the coalitions actually claiming victory. and some going as far as saying, you know, what, state com, we've won this, we're just waiting for the announcement. but also people sharing different statistics and percentages over which presidential candidate is leading,

which is actually misinforming their supporters. right. and at the same time, also not being able to see the electron management body, i b c. moving so fast to counter that information. so here, but i do, yes. and i think we've also seen so many politicians declared themselves when, as, as in the process. so i think the police has also played a key role in misinforming. this with us. can you help us understand how that's possible, how that happens? how do you declare yourself when and knowing full? well, actually i'm sitting in america. i know can you style? how do you, how do you do that going through? well, the, you actually haven't won the election. so with this time, especially with the electoral body opening does have us to public where we could see the from that a for is that are coming from the, the telling station. so if we can, them could access them and you had the right to actually tell them by yourself. so everybody and it side head,

their own cell is telling sessions with so different politicians say they have like a number of 10 young people who are doing tiling for them. so people collect their information or whatever they tallied. and what they see, they deemed right with them, and they would do that statistic to announce themselves in, as we've seen candidates who i announce themselves winners and social media. and then the electoral with the analysis of the someone totally different of the winner . one hopeful aspect of these elections are these campaigns that i've seen of the number of women participating. and women in politics been a can you talk to me about that? because i think that's going to be one of the milestones for this particular election and kenya is women on campaigns and women getting results. bene, i thank you so much so flexible. i'm, i'm very proud to see women taking us tab,

especially the highest electro positions in the country. i think we've seen women who reinforce given to target seats, and we've actually seen some of them will already been announced, as we know, i think, you know, in the course to read john in, you know, and cru county we've seen wins, especially in that will be a terrier race and also the fact that the, you know, like the presidential candidates have women as by, you know, vice president. so there's that. so in as much as i love to celebrate in this election, i think the progress is a little bit. and i want to back this up with the statistics because in this election we had 16100 candidates across all the positions from the presidential to the member of county assembly. and of that number, only 1962 while female candidates. i would love to hear about in

a cru county she co because if something pretty historic that is about to happen, i don't, i don't want to jinx it. but from a women's perspective and tell us it's amazing, right? i think i have been happy and i typed these all over because for the 1st time we have an entire top leadership, mid of women, we have a woman gover. now we have a once they need to have the women or both questions that we've been, that we have a 5 elected m p 's, who are women off. they live in constituencies, sorry, this has not happened before. so for me to end up putting women mc is also, so for me for this to happen, it has given me hope that the future is actually bright. a young woman was to was plan to get there. but also look to forget that my check was county also has a copy the ship of women. also they have a woman, governor, woman. and of course the women. i me,

i made like we are making both. and i feel like if there is nothing to celebrate in this election, is that we've seen women get to the top tire. see they got me out now though they can't myself because they are then people, you know, you're just like the men. i know they have to be really good at being, but can them election is rupert shackle? yeah, this picks a very high for me why everybody is looking at, when will they miss up? how will they be? that is, of course, a little around women that most walk together, women will do. so this picks up quite high for us, but this is the time we've just been in work with them to make sure everything looks good and they're delivering the best. but you know, and if i could just add the fact that we actually had more, we mean gender race to run for political office, it means actually in the next election, that is actually going to encourage more, we meant to run for better expenditure. if it's, you know,

away from just being told run for the women reps, it because that is your space because that it goes back to what she was speaking to half the time when you're running for your own is pushed aside and being told, or there's a fit for you there. so just thing we men take a thought, but the position of the vice president position is going to encourage more women. and that can not sweet to see this point of women actually in the coming election, including off of the show. no pressure, no pressure. alright, this is a 10 year election results watch quality, 2022. and we have our community online who are watching as well. ladies, will you answer their questions or react to their questions as much as you can? so many people are just thankful. no violence been a quick thought that so just coming, you know, when we reflect about 2007 and the lives we lost and the impact of that on the economy. and again, the pockets of violence in 2013 in 2017. and now we're talking about corporate

$910.00, which affected our economy. so just to see and witness the fence or calmness currenty in the country. it's encouraging because that means after we've announced the presidential results. and if we still maintain the theme, then people will go back to work because also, i think one thing is it's taking time to actually open up their businesses. you know, currently, i don't know, but i look or county, but in a row be just, you know, just moving around, feel very anxious because i go and it's only opening up but quite slowly. yeah. and you know, the project starting with the results will be announced to morrow on sundays. so as much as i b c's within the mandate of the 7 days, because i don't know exactly what it would be tomorrow or sunday. ok. more questions i hope for this election, this is on youtube is a crack down on the cove, rob xico. wow. i'm not sure how hopeful looking to be about that. i

want to be hopeful. i want to not be physically sick of them. but looking at the both sides of the device, no one is better. and this is also informed by a little bit lecture in justices that we've seen before from the political party, the nations, to where we are right now. and the question is, was likely to fight or option at this point. we're not sure who the much who can speak for and grateful is that our economy is not too harsh or not for the next is calvin kamani is watching right now. kevin, thank you so much. this is what calvin country contributes to our discussion, the cost of living and can you, it's very high, no jobs. low wages, the list is endless. who will be our savior? we off, irene earlier. what are the priorities that kenya's electorate? this is what she told us the most pressing issues, who can in youth and most king, and now that you expect to then mix

a new titian to address is access to basic human needs and networking about food. what are the different housing dissent, job's the highest at any? will health care standards, access to education entitled to a dignified life. as our constitution clearly stays in that goal. 43. and as for the lesson, collaboration of human rights, which our country is about to do, but she can re selection address those very basic needs. every kenyon has i'm hopefully said me because lucinda manifestos have read the book manifesto from day to presidential. and i will just pick up the 2 presidential candidates because of the numbers that missing right now. so we've read that many festivals and that all speaking about the economy, that all speaking about providing an easy life,

okay. the question is how that will happen. we also know that we are very, we are country full of debts at the moment. so it's a question of, are they able to do this within the next 5 years, we've been able to match up our budget, the budget that was sent up. a said for to didn't to 2023. so if we're able to much up that then we may be able to create an is in life or canyons, but that sounds far fetched for now. we just pray that we have a president of care and, and one to listen to what can and certainly need i, i'm just going to compliments about on the painter is on an excuse me, think about one second. the made it on you she, she says i love the vegas as i love the introduction of voting process for persons with disabilities. i think others can learn from canyons. i just had to stop for a moment because i think that's really nice to hear of, of initiatives the coming out of this current election process. been a go ahead. sorry. i think, i think i wanted to say that, you know,

like currently 62 percent of our revenue collection goes into savvy, seeing what they're talking about, food insecurity, but just talking about a drug crisis, actually during corbett 19 and just listening to the, you know, to the presidential, the beat to the deputy president, the be just the, even that go to an attorney to be we've had just the lack of a solid plan in terms of how we're going to touch the economy around. because candidates seem to understand the problem. we have right, and the challenges that we have and we're struggling, we are going nation. most people want to hear the solution if i just want to hear about their problems because they didn't know their problems, we know our time and you know, all of them go on to here where you can even going to get the resources to find. now these plans that you are talking about what are going to be your priority areas . so i'm hopeful but also be worried and i think it will sign up with 20 people to step up as the accountability champions. right. to ensure that we are pushing them

when it comes to public service delivery, to, you know, to attend the public forums at the set up to ensure that if they come up with a budget, we understand what are their priority areas. you know, i'll actually begin after voting because sometimes i know, i think of as we feel like, oh, now i have to have to eat for another 5 years. no one just to be got. i want to pick up a couple of memorable moments from this election campaign. i guess i'm going to ask you in a moment, but 1st i want to use go to the very final campaign rally for the 2 top candidates, right. i think i know the candidate, william root ho, this is what they were doing almost a week ago to today. oh, [000:00:00;00]

a behind to get it with ring off a cow for sure. all right, so a couple of people in you chief are actually asking who's the most favorite candidate to win the election? gonna give me a name. oh, oh i, i think it's hard to attorneys, not a presidential candidate every day. there. can you do it? it's hard to select who actually is going to win this particular election because i mean, even from the numbers that we are seeing,

it's actually our neck to neck courage. so picking one candidate that's going to be a bit of a challenge even looking at the, the current margins and the fact that both of them was appealing to different demographics. and the agenda was different. you know, one is talking about integrity and reforms. the ad on is actually focusing on a hustler, busses, dynasty, and living, no one behind us. so it's, it's going to be a really long time to say, i do not know sheeka. are you gonna say i do not know as well. no, i will say no, that will of them are not equal to best. ha. so we are doomed. if we go with right i, we don't. if you go with router but people say it right is the less that you were, i don't know about that. maybe because he has he went for a woman deputy, oh, who we know for the longest time,

has ford injustices or has fought for the constitution. so maybe that made him look trivial. right. but for me with the, with the way things are, i think they do with eva. i grew up seeing them campaign. so i don't know what different they could have done that they've not done in the 29 years that have been a life you can from. she has voice of tune to some optimism from eunice who is actually in uganda. looking at the canyon elections has been important for east africa. he's what she taught us at the may us 2020 took an election is the potent opinion sees, but also for africa as region. why? because pinion is an economy and political powerhouse. so from see more, we may be able to county governors and city just exposed to you for democracy. what could we do more than this outcome? also translate to better outcomes for as a whole. what should we do between now and the election results coming out?

been, what are you going to do? prefer pray for peace. ok, that's good. i did that every day. anyway. i've been out suggestions countering misinformation online. good. that's. that's what i what sally should be doing? counting automation, i think. but i think also we can add that out between this time and when that moment comes, i think it has just need to many expectations. just realized that if you have no rent for the end of this month, you will still have no rent. but the tim daniels meant is made. it's important for us to go back to what it's important for us to say. we went and did our beat, we went and cussed at the board. it's not our walk to tightly. it's a walk to wait for the lecture, but if you are not to totally and announce that we know. so it's just time we just go back to walk in, go back to our normal lives. no garage been paralyzed while i think name can we don't have people in the street. oh yeah, thank you. she can. thank you. been at this time here to look quickly at my laptop

. so you can follow i to excellent guess this is she co, this is sabina. you can follow them for election results from kenya. and of course out is there a dot com, an out is era and to watching, i'll see you next time. take everybody. ah. oh, abandoned by the state. social collectors are occupying spaces among the people, a militant architect working on the edge of the law. in the 1st episode of rebel log, he attacked some viagra. fetal hammer jaws al jazeera into the realm of cell sales in insane carina architect on our does either the latest news as it brings to seem rocky streaming overhead. coming from garza
