a narrow victory where the official results showing brutal gained just over half of the votes at 50.5 percent. while relo digger received 48.8. but just before the results were announced to for an action commissioner's cost down on the results, while relo dingus agent also disputed them and entering irregularities. it is a former prime minister and this was his 5th attempt at running for president. he received the endorsement of his longtime rival, president to hulu kenyata, but results show router won in mount kenya, president kenyata, stronghold before we go to our guests. here is how we will tulsa from costume mustang. enjoy the bob radio. but if it's above the economy, how the going to see the family, how they're going to pay school fees at a time when the economy is really, really struggling. mean family, say the high cost of food prices and rising inflation is making it really difficult for them to make in to meet president elect william retail sales,

he's going to turn around the economy and help low income households survive. you think you'll do that by introducing social welfare programs and subsidies, but economists say that is not going to be easy for him to do this. country is heavily in depth about a lot of money from countries as china, people infrastructure projects where that money has to be paid back with a kenyan taxpayers who end up doing that. so kenyans hope that the economy is going to be turned iran by him. right now, a lot of things aren't going well in the example behind me. some businesses are close partly because of the political and so it's me. but also because for months, many businesses have been struggling. the king of the looking to see you're going to offer them anything in the let's bring in our gas all. joining us from kenya's capital nairobi we have dentist and when the campaign secretary for president elect william rudo, the remote walker, chief executive director of c alsa,

a nonprofit that works on youth political engagement in kenya. and we have bobby and conky constitutional lawyer ad form, a member of the committee experts that wrote can use new constitution, a very warm welcome to old. i'd like to start with you dennis, and to be you were the campaign secretary for the now present elect. how are you feeling with the results and with the fact that not all the election commission is we're endorsing the results? ah, thank you very much and greetings to view as we are elected, we are thankful to god that the elections. why knowledge to the free of the well being of the vision. and the process was the most integral process that i have been the nation we've ever gone through. i think we have to give it to i b. c . this time for you know, giving us a process. the, todds almost negligible mr. flows fast from the election day,

the department of the working process was largely peaceful. and also the process of validation and verification was one of the most truthful and open source of this country. they were going through and box it will be established as a case study, of course, to watch that i don't, i don't think there's any global process, the global electric process that has to be open as we have ever seen. and we are thankful to god that there is a strong progression in terms of the electric democracy in this country. so we have very little we are looking forward to essentially a government that is going to be inclusive. and the government that is going to, you know, perform a, you know, absolute struggling issues that are affecting business, let them till they will come back to, to the, to the future in a moment. but you didn't know my question for election commission is cost out on the results. what's your reaction to that? our to that is that i was on the floor. the ball must i was driving to the dealings

. in fact, a device chair who is a part of the team that is complaining read the election of 20 to read, read that we got the tickets. and we are surprised that the part of the team that is completely bailing booked all through. and then, you know, if there's anybody was issues, i think they should you know, book the constitutional mechanisms to complain. i think now they have the law provide the course you provide 7 days and you know what the litigation and 14 days to the same. we are confident that the process was there was very viable and we don't see issues for mine. and the law is very clear that it is the chairman of the commission. that is the position on the market and they want to get it to. busy call the president elected to be ok, so you're happy to see the process through neary and walk out while dinner

obviously isn't happy, should we expect his support is to continue protesting. and what's the feeling among young people in the country? how did they vote. 1 thank you for having me. this time around, the tunnel was a little bit lower compared to what we're used to 65 percent. when you look at the overall number that could what 22 point. 1000000. that 109.8 percent were young people and young people between the age of 18 to 35 in kenya, which was about 8800000. so young people already a little bit fewer from 2017. they were 50 percent of the which is blog. so there's a big many of them just decided not to particularly participate. when we look at these particular election, both coalitions, very, very strong. gardner in half of the country worship them. so yet,

once i had the 6 junior lated and excited, i'm not my grieving and even this afternoon he did mention he and i press briefing, that he is going to take them to, to court. so some of his supporters are excited about that. some of them are feeling drained and frustrated about the entire process in time will 10. they do have the right to do so. feel that the process was not adequate enough for them. ok, bobby, i'm calling me from a legal perspective with the legal challenge that looks likely to happen. how does that work? what should we expect in the coming weeks? well, um, as well. my coupon alyssa just said, ah, oak hon rayleigh, dinger, this afternoon did mention that he and his coalition party as him, you ah, we'll seek if i may caught him. are all constitutional and legal options. and so we're to assume that he's going to file

a petition or in the supreme court as seeking being bullied is shown offer. ah, chairperson fullerton county's pronouncement yesterday. so the constitution dusted that after her the declaration. any parcel for he doesn't have to be the contestants. it's any kenyan who feels that they have an issue with the process and the declaration, or they have a period of 7 days. and that to begins county from b and ending and next tuesday to present their kiss before the supreme court of kenya and deli, sally, a seed, and the supreme court. or we'll have a 14 days to, to, to clear to receive her evidence. and also for respondents whether they will be confided defenses. and then at the end of the day,

after 14 days there will be added to it. um initial and the determination can go to . ready is only either validate or their, their pronouncement from the chairperson, which means that the president, a letter will be moving forward, are now towards a been sworn in which will be a pat after 7 days or in validation which are with only route now will be a fresh election, which must be conducted within 60 days of this green book, the dizzy shall, okay. of in county, before we move on from you, explain the process and, and you know that the constitutional basis for this, my question is to people trust the process to people trust the court. will they accept whatever the result is? will the um, an option, but to accept or whether they agree with the decision or not, or you know,

their prerogative and right now this would be the time if for if, if we have petitions since the constitution was promulgated in 22 or the foster election in 2013, there are petitions. similarly in 2017. and now if we do have a one, this would be the contact changes being visited with this scenario. so at the end of the day, bills will be happy with the decision that the supreme court will arrive, but those are, those will not be helped with it. but as i said earlier, i accept it, they have to because that's what the constitution demands and prescribe. agree with that. oh, prerogative of each and a retainer and you know other people dennis, until the assuming that the supreme court validates these results and everything

goes through for mr. brutal. how does he plan to unite the country? i mean, the numbers speak for themselves, it was an almost equal proportion of people, almost not quite. who don't believe that he's up to the job. i agree. while the things that we have to look up to the democracy within the voting electric is that it is not equally proportional to the entire percentage of the nation. and therefore, we have a segment of people that are essentially getting the government of the a to play it, but the president seat of the nation, that the symbol national t, their specific instruments. and the chapter that goes in the constitution is that then ratify him to be the president of the entire nation. and so one of the opportunities that he's excellent, the reason that my router has east to unite the country and his campaign has

largely been about unity. you realize that if you study that much of this campaign, one of the things that day it was not present, you can, you strive boys. and why was that not there? because the unifying, fucked up that he brought on board was about the social economic developmental. the people are $42.00 article for the peak of the constitution that grants giving us their rights to social and economic stability. so the same around the various while issues we're not about regionally seen or it wasn't about ethnicity negative with in the city as we've seen before. so already he's been seen is uniting the nation because the nation is and economic burial. you know, they're critical questions about starting inflation on the critical questions about the tax regime that is extremely punitive and draw blessed. there's millions of young people and meters opinions at the end of the day we have just got them up and demick exiting in administration. i think critical issues in terms of the quality

of the efficacy of governance. so he has a lot of work to unite the country and not just do not the country to get the country to reality social economy goals. and that is what he will do before the election. what one of the things he did. busy all right, and they had a chart for about an hour, and they discussed that were both ways a what we'll be able to do, how many posts of government, whether who loses true conceived. and they have worked with hon right before. i mean, he's a political player that has been in the fields and before in various positions and government, he knows his way out on the political infrastructure to pro fee. and therefore, you will be able to navigate himself and establish that one kenya notion under the banner of economic prosperity, which is the language. of course, there is no issue that is specific to a particular tribe. the issues in this country,

whether been being socioeconomic coils or the other issues or cuts across the board, ok from the company. there's already a united factor, and i think that you will have the responsibility going forward to unite the country based on issues and ideals. rather than the concept of trip boise. ok. no. a malackle a chair. what if the selection has and in fact it evolved, i guess is the word from being asked about it as necessity or regional issues into these broader issues that affect all canyons. are there still chances then this may escalation to violence because that's, that's been the concern, isn't it isn't. and looking back through history, there has been a concern that things could escalate into violence. looking back to history, it was a concern. but i believe that the point of concern happened yesterday, most of the attention was around the declaration of president. and the fact that that has already happened. and that's why we, so i little bit,

i little bit of chaos. i would call it conflict. it hasn't escalated to the extent that we should be concerned about. for many, they were going out to the streets to celebrate for some they were frustrated and they did come from the streets. but they were also some people taking advantage of this situation. like we've already mentioned the high cost of living, there's no employment opportunities for young people. so there's a lot of crime that happened last night. but i do believe that now that we have a we fro it the fact that 100 a loading i did have a pretty statement and he did not agree with the results. and they have decided that they're going to the courts. he's not what does have a way forward and they are going to wait. that is one thing that we have practice is taking issues and petitioning them to the court and waiting for them to give us whatever their opinion on their budget is going to be. and can end up with that. so i do think that this is one election. we have managed well as

a public and we will continue to wait and see on the way forward and tell me correctly, i'm wrong. but in 2017, the presidential vote was notified by the supreme court citing irregularities. so how is this time different or similar? well, i'm wanting have to mention is that and perhaps, you know, in agreement with what dennis did little earlier on, in my opinion, i think the supreme are, sorry that the i d. b. c. the electron eminent body this time around date or put effort in ensuring that it does conduct the lecture, cloned as was prescribed a upon notification offered between to 17 presidential elections by the supreme court of kenya. and that is why we have seen

a lot of infusion or for transparency. we have seen a lot of the infusion or are inclusion of other players. we have seen the appropriate use of technology ah, where the failure rate was very, very low. it's the team's kinks. for verifying and identifying ortez, i think it's less than $250.00 out of her $46000.00 plus there, but it is for you. and we've seen the transmission of resolve or digital voice are available to an open. i do see portal as the elections, active, tender prescribed and coming forth in. that's why this time around. you find that many, many people. why included in tallying and endo,

verifying the results in comparing lot i b c was announced c a at the end of the day a you look at this and you can see that a i d, c has very much a tried to conduct electrons. it was ordered by the supreme court, and this is in line with the constitution because in magnifying the election in 2017, there are supreme court of kenya, actually a, by all intents and purposes, ordered a b. c to conduct then repeat election as prescribed by the constitution. i'm betting this time around despite exam we regulate irregularities which i expected. i mean, this is a human endeavor, so a certain irregularities ah, will be expected. but at the end of the day, in my assessment and up to now, yes,

we wait to see and what evidence or those will go to court will produce. but to my observation, as i will see, that this has been to a minimal marginal and negligible. ready degree and i don't see any, oh, you know, a substantial reason why her id see could be held for fault it to the extent of it. hail an incredible air and not free and fair election. okay, an innocent on the weekly, as i mentioned earlier about some, the challenges facing the president to lex and talk to me a little bit more about the state of the economy and then what his plan actually is to address it. thank you very much. that is a vital question and that has been the premise of his company platform, the fund that discontinued or social economic resuscitation,

or is subject to the same because kenya is traced with a multiple of economy tissues. many of them really depend upon what it is that we call miss management within the governance. even before we got to the pin demick, which made things worse, is that, you know, there was rosco tax, there increments and issues that came about that you know, may the cost of living essentially the commodities aspect where you're looking to you know, aspect of their food items gas and many of the many of the things including transport. greg, they really affected the citizens of this country. and they saw also the question of job les this. we had about almost about 7000000 there, about young people who have no job at all. and then also what it is that happened is that our economy moved from almost about 20 percent for more to almost

now about 90 percent in that even if you graduate from the university, you have to start parts of being a well or sending something in the streets and they're about as so these country has major issues. also we have from very expensive external debts, which is commercially based majority even over about a payment that about we are using that to pay that. so then out of issues that especially out of economic base that he must been with. and that failure to refer me over the shooting fuck the political question was going to put this lock away or not. but so he asked also to deal with very expensive corruption the same that you know, governor of the masters of mine, he was talking about the composition and the question of instituting a quasi judicial permission on. gotcha, we can look transparency international persuasion,

national series of the many that gets done loaded forms and what it is that we call an important anger. there is nothing much that has come out of the fight to corruption and they are the way to go. maybe the south africa way in terms of doing a public hearing or nurse did come about. so here, traced with the raft of issues. but big key that he has to deal with is the cost of living in ability or bring us to port even affordable food on the table. because what has happened, for example, if i give you just the 1st example, is that we are unable to get it. it's not like us to, to look at it in the country in january of property. 50 kilogram of their box was going for about 2900 today, going for about 6100 and it's unavailable on many of this small and medium sized. mila are shut down on the. busy as. busy well, we are the exiting president hard to teen

a subsidy program to be able to by based internationally and mil locally. which again, that one has a cause. i monday i hear you saying about the cost of living crisis. we are coming to the end nearing the end of the program, so i just want to throw it over. before we run out of time to new rima walker. because your non profits works with youth. political engagement in kenya. we've talked about how youth unemployment is high. we've talked about the cost of living crisis. how hopeful are young people about the possibility of change about the future, about the political establishment being able to offer them hope many of them did not participating this election because they do not believe that major change is going to happen. and frankly, a lot of them believe that a lot of their candidates are very similar and the same, but they have been raised all young candidates enter politics,

as many of them were kicked out during the zoning with their political party primaries. but a number of them did sales through, so they some hope that where young people are investing in other young people in leadership. but also these conversations around perhaps we need to change how we engage young people. zambia in the election last year had the high majority of young people participating. but it's also because they had the option of online registration. the i b. c is not there as much as the registrar political parties that has a platform for young people to register to join parties online. that is where we can start because when we look at political party engagement or membership, real true membership, young people out there, minority members in our 85 political parties combined, or i will have to leave at that time. but thank you to all of our guests denison, to be re malackle, sheila and bobby and coney and thank you for watching. you can see the program
