6:31 pm
president emerson went on god. well, once again, friend of the challenge from his rival nelson to me, so we explore the state of democracy in the country. and nigeria is shortage of doctors, wesson's. more of them had overseas. we'll look at why they leaving and find out whether the grass is truly green on. on the other side, we mentioned in nigeria so way it was waiting for in the heart of june to really getting anything back in terms of the kind of i'm told me on logical welcome to the program. kenya's government has opened a criminal investigation into the activities of a digital company that had members of the public flocking sign up for its project
6:32 pm
world coins as it's building a kind of digital identity network. and to do that it needs people's biometric information with critics of raise questions over the safety and protection of the dates of being harvested. and frankly, whether this isn't simply something dodgy. dw correspondent edith kamani has visited well coins. biometric exercise in nairobi, a sense of this report. when world cleaned launched activities in kenya, the response seemed incomplete. sensible. long queues formed death to death registration points. a 1000 suite to, to have the irises scanned a wait to offend, to keep the identity and enable them to use the digital currency of some confidence on some part of that is good. that seems to be some level of management from the windows on the screen. you see everyone who is being given to queen standard my chatting at the center at the same time. you see when that when thing much at the same time. everyone says, i'm fabulous. so i get into market reducing its value. however,
6:33 pm
most of those we spoke to what he has simply for money. in kenya, the tech company was offering free digital tool can suit everyone who registered and those 2 kids could then quickly be exchanged for $49.00 at the block market. right outside the registration point. a saving grace for many will not pass. there's no money, that's the 1st thing. there's no, what people are struggling out here. the cost of living has gone up. whatever you make is just not enough. the predicts of res, concerns about the money in which consumer consent was obtained questioning, where they bought at an inducement, something well, clean denies. they use that has full control, full access to the data and full ownership of the data. and while the actually enables 0, i've tracking it to interest that to you. there's no data leakage in that you're not being trucked across multiple applications as you browse through the internet
6:34 pm
to african. specifically, the concerns from critics has been crypto colonialism. a phrase used to describe the use of the most vulnerable people in the world of guinea pig for emerging technologies and systems. indeed, most of the people we spoke to do not understand lock changed technology, or even what the data they were sharing could be used for world. clint responded to the suspension in kenya saying it would take the time to work with the authorities to boost understanding of privacy measures. this event as legislators call so strong a implementation of data laws in the country that speak to bryce committee mode or a kenyan based cyber security specialist currently with myra wallet, which is also in the crypto space. you joins us from nairobi, bryan, good job, you on the program. and there's been a lot of criticism of this wild klein issue, but also the, we've seen the, the long queues. is this something people should be concerned about? in my own opinion,
6:35 pm
i think people should be concerned about it because there's so many of questions that we tried to add. so when it comes to was the claim for us the fall, we only hear about was going right now. but if you get to know, like in kenya wallack or it has to run a foot board more than a year and a half right now. so i the privacy concerns i come in and this when now was going is trying to update people on that. and it's still not clear exactly what they're trying to do with this kind of iris or the facial recognition details. the composition is saying that they want to actually have it was digital id. by the thing is we're going to use it. what are you, what are the use cases in which countries are they be good to be able to have a digital id to be used? is a government aware that'd be good to have such a digital id, how they acted as section on the have the next step to to be able to have to collect such details. those are the concerns that we have of when it comes to a lot of point in addition to that is happening. right. the some people are pop friends, you know, the ones we've heard about who to and you know that doing this because they'll get
6:36 pm
some money, treat benefit out of this. the other, some people, even among those or, or generally other people who would just say, you know, the, to insignificant in the global spare, spare of things and don't have to worry about their personal data. because you know what, what does it matter if someone takes that data or yeah, i mean, it's also look at this, this a lot of, uh where it is that we don't have majority of the country. let me say more than have that kind of done. and that's about what privacy means, or what is why the practice missed them. but you see if, if a go the right direction, if you take a fingerprint, for example, for the airport, you are actually using that because you do need those details and they have been approved by the government to be able to actually collect that detail. why? because you could be a terrorist, you could be flying to another country where you still need that fingerprints authenticate to know is you not here. if somebody is giving you cannot shoot
6:37 pm
a $7000.00 which left $40.00, nobody actually get to understand the like, look, i don't really care. look at it for me to read every have right now. look at the people who are going to lice q for, for what quaint is not the typical person who is due to 9 to 5 is people who don't have the means on and, and, and, and given them above $4045.00 is free money. the right way to you would have to get breach of my face or my iris just for that money. i mean, why not? i'll do it. so that, that became it kind of controversial allows for those things where people are not sure because to them is thought of privacy problem because they're not aware. and we haven't got that enough awareness on privacy issues in the country or the continental say, actually do, do we do things as a risk of this kind of thing? exploding and africa where more people's data is in mind and possibly exploited. yes, we have seen data being exploited in the past. they've had in mind in the past,
6:38 pm
we've seen a lot of for cyber security issues where the data has been excelled, treated, we're seeing mobile networks being able to as well trade data to the countries that we're not supposed to do that i don't suppose to have the data we have seen, the organizations come and breach our data and i would data sobriety and, and be able to take our data that we don't even know what i did to with that data. we have no idea. now the thing is, this could be used for bigger projects. like for this i put this walk into the b 5 big our project that we had on our way off. that to me, they requested the anomalies. you see, it was very transparent from the very beginning. this what i've been as a thing that a year and the or 2 ago would have been a plane saying this is what you're trying to do. why is it that right now is why we trying to understand that this is for a load id? this was not the composition that was brought out at the beginning. well going, as i mentioned is, is in the chris crypto sierra. i mean, you, you work with my or wallet as well as the,
6:39 pm
the block chain and crypto theme seems to be budgeting low seems to be quite popular in, in africa. specifically why, why is that? i mean this so many benefits of grip the part of the sea, and i think there's a lot of block chain solutions that can help to do with security. i mean, for example, right now, if i want to buy land, i have to go through so many lawyers have to go to so many people to sign a lot of documents. now with block chain, a computer code is able to actually fight, verify the details of my land title deed before out i'll be able to pass it up for web presence of the ada because a spot contract. if you look up payments right now, um, i mean if you go to another country like, uh, if you would be a for example, i have to swipe my, my, my debit card on almost 4 machines just to get to be able to like to make payments now if that doesn't work, it becomes very difficult to do business that. so cost for the payments and the like to be dealt with triple a courtesy is especially stable clients. uh,
6:40 pm
for example, where they posted book where like to you as the see kind of help you and is regulated to the benefits of the trip the car is, is out there. they are so many other. com still, which are happening as well because a lot of awareness has not been done. and this also and other people who are trying to just transition the transition of technology and a knowledge base that you're trying to see right now. and that's something like murder, we try to do, we try to make it easier for people to be able to build on a block chain. very easy way to cause a software development at business is to be able to build on the block chain and wish you happy with to actually work with stable clients like circle you have to see to be able to make sure that transfer all assets across or off of off of the car, this is can be easy if you look at it to come with this mastercard, visa, all of these people are jumping onto the block chain at technology right now. they fall has to be connected to 2 um, um 2 to 2 triple courtesies. so as you can see, the financial effect, as all is really jumping on board and business dot com,
6:41 pm
it's up to be about to raise. but we have to be really careful exactly. what we use it for. okay, brian to come anywhere with the cyber security specialist. thank you for speaking to us. thank you so much. the zimbabwe will hold its elections. this coming wednesday up for grabs of the offices of president, members of parliament and local government counselors. there doesn't candidates vying for the top job, but the main contest is between the incumbent. president emerson and god of design, opiate party and nelson to me. so all the opposition citizens coalition for change . the run up to the vote has been defeated and a time even bloody will get some analysis in a moment. but 1st, here's the w, corresponding privilege, machinery with more on the leading presidential candidates for the day is cost for the winds diploma. the with policies will be the future from the
6:42 pm
main to presidential candidate incumbent president. we found out what presents himself is pro business and sees is government has created stability and economic opportunities the, the, the, the, the, the, the some new. so here's intense place to go. the corner we use corruption and viewed and inclusive. presumably they listen has been described, is a divided between the old and the young generations. for the ellipse rates use its choice between maintaining this fits. that's cool. well embracing they change in the opposition, which they, i'm not sure yet. many would want to see if the government that would send around
6:43 pm
the corner me create jobs, good health and inclusive. it must wonder, mondanca is a 2 years old. he came to power of to it 2017 military cool. which tor poured long time. who lot rebec mcguffey, many see, one of what didn't change much though, and he's accused awful pressing openings. when the international stage is known for his close relationship with the russian president, let me have 14. he had recently attended putting these after the assignment and accepted, gives, including in your presidential helicopter. no. so, and to me, so he's just 45. he's a lawyer in the pasta. but it has been politically active since he's you. he's credited with reviving and published what position of to me just please in the past few years. internationally. so many site is quincy dead wisdom leaning. then we're not going to i'm at least see the list and that is to attend info for the
6:44 pm
incumbents. jude to support from staple guns like security in the judiciary. and many expect another disputed areas out the context, no between president even longer waiting to know. so in showing me so it's likely going to be a disputed dispute is it comes on, i start getting on the, on the opposition to prove that jim vi did not lose the election if the old position with but failed to prove it. that will mean more of the same question about was people and many of them are struggling to revise it, but we're not joined on the program by dr. young. any and see mind from the university of johannesburg. thank you for joining us on the program. now they've been concerns in the past, over the electrical process in zimbabwe. one of the chances was he credible elections this time? just before we have the c, c, c,
6:45 pm
which is the citizens question of citizens condition, which is the opposition party. not having access to the registration, this process, which makes me sick and leave me quite so much, you know, intimidation, especially with a position for each for details. but uh uh, but you know, across the country and even some additional slides. but it's called a close, awful job. so i'm, you know, i, we really this, this happening human. some time must be written, the most insurance i was addressing, you know, a lot of the machine and, you know, we had this coming through trying to chase. so we were just wasteful the, from the and even, you know, gus was actually drove so you know, we have all these aspects coming up and it's to and she, yeah, especially for the 2014 so so,
6:46 pm
so what i'm getting from you is that we don't even need to, to, to look at what happens on, on wednesday to already see that the, the, the process is already skewed. the state security itself playing a major role in terms of the dates in a while. but you know, participating in the remote radio suite. these and much of each of the thoughts itself. um, so you know this, this is what it is compatible. he's on a p as dna, jim's or 5. it's in terms of intimidation. you know what it's called, hutchins with that in mind, that has also been speculation that the incumbent m, as in non gaga, has lost some some support since the last election i we saying that that would not be enough to to present the major challenge to him in this vote in gigi is the most simple. that's the 1st and this is because of, you know, the rise of cost of reading and ration. right, continued, you know, uh,
6:47 pm
conservation off of somebody to talk to each other. and uh, you know, the basic intimidation of, uh, you know, i've talked to you this a 4 times, which she does feel we are seeing the same tactics that made it got to be quite an unpopular individual being used by him as a m, as in, i'm not graduating this, this particular nixon is saying, it's a lot behind me see your most individuals who really wants to occupy apollo diction, improving the life of the general population also in baldwinsville. okay. talk to me, let me see mine got it from university of john. his book, thank you very much, was speaking to us. the nigeria is doctors leaving the heading abroad in huge numbers in 2021. the world health organization recorded nigeria had just for doctors for every 10000 people and
6:48 pm
already died situation. but since then, things have lessened rapidly, and nigerian medical association now says there's only one doctor, put 10000 people and that's left hospitals. desperately short of staff. i'll speak to one doctor who migrate it to the u. k in a moment. but 1st, his dw is flourished by me who sent this report from lagos, gets the medical care in nigeria can be frustrating for everyone. as kenneth adelphia is doing the job he dreamed of for 2 years after qualifying his thoughts abroad, where he hopes things will be better. but don't you see the son of live, you will have a you god, equally called for to solve yes fine. at least i know how much money work i'm giving out to the society by some side. so you have 20, i appreciate my efforts. and i see the box i'm being rewarded. the feeling that many medical professionals have of been overlooked and under rewarded is one of the things driving them to leave in large numbers. they say they want the system that
6:49 pm
not only pays them well, but also provides the right equipment. a sofa comes for me from the of nurses and doctors. many of them leave and walk abroad. and she's planning to leave to go ahead a say that's a very well i think australia on us. somebody was crowding gets worse as health professionals leave. yes. most people seem to understand why the go the get people also, you know, goals and such slides. give me what other well will give you all feeling but on the key personality i will not want the people for me um a pharmacies and yes, i get into a dentist so many places on the dime. he's not. i have no food at all. you don't really give you a bed. so you go stripe goes to as much as you can. board at the end of the day is no, they appreciated, he's not a not, he's not giving the environment to practice. nobody wants to leave shoals of this
6:50 pm
country to travel up road for that. no. the name of the country is the uh, it is hard to come by. even even private hospitals like this. we simply cons, keeps us stuff, dr. tuned it will you be g? was this hospital if he's 63, i'm sick as he'd like to work less, but that the lack of stuff means he's these remain long. thousands of april good advice on the board, you know, sees on the, don't those. i never wayne good in no way to train down for 2 months. they are going to says the future looks bleak for young metrics in nigeria . kind of want to say this will come on stay. yeah. i used to for them to go out because or decision or the country,
6:51 pm
but that should not be the case. that's even the price to 2 of his own children who are doctors. but rather than taking over from him are working in you i'm not joined by doctor or you cause a lot, samuel you, when a, a youtube influenza and a medical doctor based in the u. k. thanks for joining us on the w news africa. now can you tell us why did you decide to relocate from nigeria to the u. k? i was basically just looking for greener pastures because i believe that practice in medicine, in nature, i was just getting a bit more hostile and i just wanted to be able to write. so that was the reason i'd say to me that we've had stories from doctors and nigeria talking about long working as full pay poor working conditions. so i'm saying they even feel exploited . is that something you recognize? special, a 100 percent. the product soon mentioned in nigeria,
6:52 pm
so like it was, we were pouring our hearts into it and we weren't really guessing anything back in terms of renumeration or even recognition or basically just quality of life that i thought was an equal to the pool, i guess in their return and that was just definitely a major problem. so for me, with deciding to and what's been your experience in the u. k. have you found that what you were looking for that shows things as significantly better here. but like the see, the grass isn't always green on your side, coming to the u. k has its own problems. and when you have the pros and cons with nigeria, then this is significantly better than major. for one, i don't have to worry about my salary being paid because i know that at the end of every month, i'm going to get my salary as long as i work, as opposed to nigeria, i was of the 6 months i got the stretch,
6:53 pm
which no one carrying how you mean to see your family for the 6 months and use those because the show of hours and smile and be happy, well being hungry. and i know that that's not something i'm going to do within the u. k, so that is already well pop about trying to still is still going on. people like yourself still leaving nigeria and, and heading abroad. but what would it take for someone like yourself who's, who's made this big move to go back to nigeria? what would convince you to, to make the move back as if i'm 1000 percent? sure. that when i get, when i work, i'm going to get paid. when do i find 1000 percent and show that my salary is going to be decent salary that's going to afford me decent life and i'm also 1000 percent . sure that my life and my family's life and security is increased to jeopardize
6:54 pm
that i'm more than happy to move about home. because recently there was a story of the girl in the news was the medical doctor who died be because of negligence. and she fell down a flight. so from an escalator that wasn't working and she died. and that wouldn't typically happen in develop worlds. i'm said to that it seems that i'm said to when i see that my life and the life of my family is in a risk because nigeria has its way of doing things. so call somebody and they just puts everybody else that risk. you talk about it and i do as a whole, i can even talk about 1000 percent of the needing to be to be convinced. so that shows that you still have a lot of doubt what's, what's it looking like? not just for doctors, but even for all the people in other professions ddc. so all the people making similar moves like yourself. so yeah, i have
6:55 pm
a friend who just looks kind of like 2 weeks ago. and she's not even a doctor. she's a lawyer. and she was doing pretty well in nigeria, but then again, you have to look at the voltage of so small, just about money is also about security. and what not just talking about global her . um, in terms of mentors and we're talking about data, data security, which is something that is seriously lagging nigeria. so that's why a lot of people, bessie jumped on movements at the moment that everyone's looking to move out of the country. visa factors that influence that decision, basic change. all right, let's good to hear your thoughts on this regular to speak to you doctor, or you can console out samuel, you one day. thanks for your time. thank you. i or for that so so now be sure to check out the other story is got lots of content on d, w dot com, forward slash africa such as well for data being is africa on social media. we'll
