he'd only beenin at kenya's electoral body.entre coming up with the electronic system that kenya will use in the elections on august the 8th. he had been missing since friday, two day he was bound, his body was found along with the body of a female, unidentified female, they were found just outside the outskirts of nairobi there was a press c0 nfe re nce the outskirts of nairobi there was a press conference later and his boss, the chair of the electoral body said there was no doubt that he had been tortured port so that he had had one of his arms cut off. what is very chilling about this is that there was no attempt to pretend this was an accident or hide the fact that this was a cold—blooded murder.m electronic voting are politically potent issue? it is, it goes back to 2007 when we have a devastating result of the post—election violence one thing that came out of that was a commission which found that in order to stop things like ballot stuffing and double registration of voters and some of the fraudulent activities that went

we showed it in kenya. together in liberia but requires a lot more students to be in systems like this rather than being an incredibly intensive commitment of resources upfront before you get to the skill point where it is actually sustainable. >> i think that's a very interesting feature of the bridge model. it was designed from inception to really operate at a scale, i think that skill is required for the model to work, but definitely every single element of that from the top to the way that the materials, textbooks, et cetera, i mean, this thought of with a view bringing costs down to a really minimum. and i think that's what made apollo quite attractive to us when we look into it. >> me give you one more example because it's helpful. in the u.s. context we think about technology and the way it is transfer american schools. in liberia they don't have the resources or the infrastructure for example, science labs. the school building you saw in the video are bare-bones. most don't have power. you're lucky

we've shown it at scale in kenya. starting to get there if liberia.res a lot more students to be in systems like this rather than an incredibly intensive resources up front before you get to the scale point where it is actually sustainable. >> i think that's a very interesting feature of the bridge model. it was designed from inessential to operate at a scale. that scale is required for the model to work but definitely every single element from the tablet to the way that the material, textbooks, et cetera are designed, it is thought of bringing costs down to really a minimum and i think that's what made the model attractive to us when which looked into it. >> let me give you one more example. i think it is helpful. in the u.s. context we think about technology and way that it is transforming american schools. so in liberia, they don't have resources for example for infrastructure for science lax. the schools in video are bare bones. most don't have power. you're lucky to have 2-g. there are tools in he developed world like virtual reality, on cost of

you also look at kenya as a case study. >> in kenya, the supreme court is hearing arguments between thernment and tobacco companies. the government wants to pass a set of anti-tobacco regulations. tobacco companies are fighting that. the reason that is important is because especially in developing nations, you have a limited budget in which to fight these kinds of fights in which to get these sorts of regulations enacted. it is a very closely watched case on the continent. other governments are watching it. if, for example, the kenya government fails, it could act as a deterrent for other governments to enact these regulations because they know it will be pricey and potentially it won't pay off, you won't protect their citizens the way it is intended to. the: in other words, regulations we hear in the u.s. take for granted, like warning signs on packs of tobacco or restrictions against selling to minors -- these are the kinds of things tobacco companies are doing here, while they are fighting everyone of these and other countries? >> i would argue they are fighting in here as well. what

i was in northern kenya before i came here. i came here as one of the lost boys from sudan, now south sudan with the issue of south sudan as mentioned on the introduction, south sudan is very complicate 3. it's a very complicated country like another country in the world, say the u.s. but sometimes one doesn't know until one -- [inaudible] i did not even know that south sudan was such a complicated country when i was here until i went there and spent three years. i would take on two things. the country -- [inaudible] and the ngo role as mentioned. south sudan like other african countries not get independent from your mean colony -- european colonies. it got its independence from a neighboring country x that is the sudan. that neighboring country, sudan, has a deep-seated interest that could go -- [inaudible] the interest of sudan that south sudan left is to make sure that south sudan become a failed state. is actually one of the reasons why -- become an issue in south sudan. finish. [inaudible] each of these tribes has its own

this is kenya the sand boa, found in northern and eastern africa. i want to hold up her head. what makes these guys interesting if you see the shape of the head it's wedged shape and shaped like a shovel and they use the head to burrow under the sand and then to catch their meals they just stay under the sand and sometimes here is the tail, they kind of poke up the tail through the sand and animals think that is something to eat and they will ambush the prey and they can conserve their energy and let the food come to them. the females can also be double the size as the males and these are a snake that gives back to live young. you think about snakes actually hatching eggs but the eggs are held internally and hatch inside of the body and then the babies come out alive. an interesting animal and people that are afraid of snakes it's none venomous and not slimery at all. and interesting animals. >> lets talk about the weather because that feels like we are in kenya right now. philadelphia 89 and allentown 85 and trenton 88 and cape may 88 degrees. factor in the humidity the heat

in the case of kenya, and seth you may have the latest statistics. but i think we read sometime ago we were talking about 100,000 to a million students enrolled in low cost private schools across the country and about half of that only in nairobi. so it's really a big thing. and it's a reality. i mean, why do parents decide to send children to low cost private schools? we talked a little bit about the hidden costs, and in some cases we find out about the public education and environments. maybe the proximity issues and the ability to vote with their feet in terms of decisions and may be lack of capacity in some schools as well. this is a reality. it cannot go unnoticed, i think there is a need for government to realize you have to regulate the problem in a different way than how you regulate the traditional mainstream educational sector. otherwise it will be very difficult for some of these schools just to operate. and again, there is many, many children that are already enrolled in these schools. >> and just to bring more nuance to the context, most

but in tanzania and kenya they are now over 50 million people who do their banking on their cell phone. i think actually the breakthroughs that they've made in mobile banking are to come to us when we are going to embrace some of these things. i was talking to someone not too long ago who was dealing in rural most africa they would look at the soil and now they find out it determines whether the soil is being fertilized properly. and if it's not they then fedex to those people there are the applications that are happening and those parts of the world as well. how bad do things are getting it. on what level. i was not prepared for that. don't buy the book. they had been kind of shocking. we can get those changes. a lot of what you see in extremism in the middle east as a reaction to this kind of connection. i think we see some emerging tensions and i will just tell you about one and of them very interested in right now. between globalist and nationalist. i'm happy to talk to you about mobilization later on. i don't think that is a divide. the real divide right now. they went another way

i was over in kenya last i don't remember and saw the transformational change that came across. kenya has a higher rate now of financial inclusion than the united states because we're still talking about the banked and unbanked. we want to get people in banks first and then get them access to various financial services, whereas, kenya, they weren't bound by that. they said, let's get people involved and then we'll start talking about financial services. they can actually buy sovereign debt in $30 increments in kenya and earn higher rates of return than putting their money in a bank. there are a number of instances in the world of moving forward on things that are transformational. we need to make sure we are not behind the curve. one of the things i'll focus on is making sure our regulatory framework is not stifling that innovation. part of our mandate is capital formation. we need to make sure we are not stifling innovation in this area too. when we start having discussions more seriously about the regulatory framework. it's highly fragmented. it's difficult for people to manag
