 Today's topic of discussion is the protest that we have been seeing across the country in Kenya of course from the Azimio party members and of course the Kenyans that are supporting them as well. So Kenyans have been protesting due to high cost of living among other things. Naimekwa ni mandes, ah no sorry imekwa ni mandes, imekwa ni mandes. If we started with mandes, Tuesday, yeah but now Senator Nairobi County Sifuna has said a thought to nanza mande, Tuesday, Wednesday, Zikifatana, manda, manda. At this point to Mefika place where instead if you want to address something I do not get the reason why it should be very destructive as much as they say it's peaceful demonstrations We can already see what's happening, like jana watua nangwa express verilya, watua na loot, ule na polisi wa kibagas. I saw that. Polisi ya na kibagas. Hei, watua wana bebo kwa kwa gari. So I mean allegedly that's what it is. No mi I think polisi watua na chukwe zogaswa zivi ya kema li safe, alafu watua radisha zogas kukutia. Watua radisha ineza kuwa piya, you know wana linda usalama, ineza kuwa. Iktu ni kama atoxic relationship, ya boyfriend na girlfriend. Yes, but hei kama muna pendana na. Awa willi, muna pendana lakini, usha eka evi club bukas kia chupa ime pita, boyfriend na metupia girlfriend na lafu unajarbu kwingiliya kuwansu wana pigwa, wana din na wewa, wana kukanda mizu, wana kufi nyanga, na lafu wana rudi mambo yao, lafu wana pendana. Even rohapa iku atwele, I wish, yes I understand cost of living is really high but I want all of us to understand that this thing is global. It's not that because it's high Kenya, ni Kenya too, this thing is, it's kukila maali. So you tend to wonder, you tend to think are we really protesting for the right things? Is this the right way to do it? Are we using the proper channel to do it? Sababu miss yoni expresso ime kusewapimu too. Now from what I have been seeing, you know some people are saying, of course this, the Azimio are saying that you know situna protesti, sitinda utuna umizuana polisi, then the government is saying that the police are protecting, you know they are not even harassing people who are not causing chaos or just harming other people. So me I feel like it's this main mind games because we don't know who is telling the truth. A tuji kama, watu ame tumonaga. A tuji kama, it's the coalition, it's the protesters indeed. I personally want the level of the economy or the high, the whatever the economy to go down. Yes, of the cost of living to go down. But I feel like if we have to now protest for three days, it means sasa mimi. Two working days. To just ID kasa sasa. You are watching, Friends Vibes, all feelings are represented. What's up everybody, welcome to yet another episode of Friends Vibes. We are back, my good name is Miskitinchi and I am joined by the richest girl in East Africa, Kali's Jackson. All right guys, so today's topic of discussion is the protest, yani mandamano that we have been seeing across the country, in Kenya of course, from the Azimio party members and of course the Kenyans that are supporting them as well. So Kenyans have been protesting due to high cost of living among other things. Na imekwa ni mandes. No, sorry, imekwa ni mandes. They started with Monday and Tuesday. Yeah, but now Senator Nairobi County Sifuna has said a thought to nanzam Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Zikifatana, mandamano. So what are your thoughts guys? First of all, I feel see there was a first episode of mandamano and they say that they are willing to have talks with the government. What happened, they didn't talk or the conversation between the government and the Azimio government like they didn't reach into middle ground. They said they want to have, I think they are whatever was not addressed their concerns were not addressed. Were they not addressed or were they impatient? Anyway, I feel like at this point to mefika place where instead if you want to address something I do not get the reason why it should be very destructive as much as they say it's peaceful demonstrations. We can already see what's happening. Like jana watu alikwa nangoa express way really. Watu analut Uliwa na polisi waki bagas. I saw that. Polisi ane bagas? Hei, walu kwa wana bebo akiki kakwa gari. So I think allegedly that's what it is. No, me I think polisi walu kwa na chukwe zogas wazivi eke maalisef alafu watu analutisha zogas kukutu. Watu analutisha inezakua piya? You know, wana linda usalama. Inezakua? Inezakua? But do you guys feel there is a better way to handle this? Because we experienced violence in 2007. Na inanzanga tu kidogo, kidogo, kidogo, kidogo. And from the comments then nimi on Twitter watu anasema eh, sasa mande tu na tokia mande Tuesday whence like some people are not seeing that as a big deal. Like what do you think about that? Ikitu, ikitu ni kama atoxic relationship ya boyfriend na girlfriend. Yes, but ikama muna pendana. Awa wili, muna pendana lakini usha eka evi klabu kaskia chupa ime pita. Boyfriend na metupia girlfriend alafu unajarbu kwingili kwanza una pigwa. Wana din na wewa, wana kukanda mizu, wana kufi niyanga. Nalafu ona rudi mambeo. Nalafu ona pendana. Iwon rohapa iku atwelewi. I wish, yes I understand cost of living is really high but I want all of us to understand that this thing is global. Nia. It's not that because iku hi Kenya ni Kenya too. This thing is iku kila maali. So you tend to wonder, you tend to think are we really protesting for the right things? Is this the right way to do it? Are we using the proper channel to do it? Sababu Miss Yoni expressu ime kwa sewapimu too. Yeah. Again number two, you can just find a normal business. Somebody has decided has decided to respect the fact that you guys are having protest I'll close down my shop for the essence of to give you guys space demi na funga duka una kudu una ifunguwa. For what reason? Yeah. Muna upore maali. Some of these people have taken loans to open up and start of this business. I think people are really taking advantage of this thing and that's why personally me as myself if I was the CS interior I so had put a directive of should to kill. Mimini kiku patakaribu na bia sharayangu e dho me shika moji shika risasi kwa kichu. I think now it has gotten to a point whereby we'll have to deal with people the way they are coming because if you ask this party this coalition sorry they'll say Sisi had to jatumawatu this other coalition is saying kwa wama kumboa watu wafanya hita bia. I believe that if you check other countries they have very peaceful ways of protesting. Yeah. Atawana po linzi as kisere kali when it comes to protest and it should run from eight to six. I'll give you a scenario the previous protest that happened. A very close family member of mine lost like almost everything. She was driving in her car her car was broken into she lost her bag she lost they have all this time. And we tend to ask are we really protesting for the right agenda? What's the agenda behind this? Now from what I what I've been seen you know some people say of course this the azimio are saying that you know situna protests sisi indotuna umizuana polisi then the government is saying that the police are protecting you know they are not even harassing people who are not causing chaos or just harming other people. Yeah. So me I feel like it's this main mind games because we don't know who is telling the truth. Atujikama watu ametumonaga atujikama it's the kwanishon it's the protesters indeed. I personally want the level of the economy or the high the whatever the economy to go down yes of the cost of living to go down. But I feel like if we have to now protest for three days it means sasa mimi is two working days to just ID kasasa. And you know the saddest part is like yesterday if you have a child whose school is near CBD and areas that were affected by the mandamano awakwenda shule. Exactly. And can you remember COVID distracted the school type table? Yeah. Now you want to protest for three days so these students will be in school for two days and then now we start delaying exams it's actually affecting people when yeah like children it's affecting everyone and you know something that is also tricky is yesterday I saw Azimio TV they tweeted on Twitter and said that the government sent goons to go and destroy the expressway. Expressway here. Oh we are like when I saw that It doesn't really make sense and I'll really support whatever you're saying you can do all the mandamano you want but let it not be in what when you want me and when you want to vote as kids why are you making kids suffer for these things they don't really even understand and the million dollar question is if I hand you the government will you promise me in a month's time or two months time things will have stabilized because of living we'll go down this thing is the same it's the same thing but they're also asking for taxes to go down my million dollar question is this if we give you the chance to do it will you do it people really tend to think running a country is very easy people look at it at the positive side of oh you'll make money but this thing is so hectic imagine where we come a kwenu mama kwa na kupigia nitu mi e 2k mduga kwa na kupigia nimeshikuwa sista kwa na kupigia nata kakuhunda nyele kwenu enyo inakushinda imagine governing 40 million people you think it's easy but it's not it's not it's not so what kids let not kids be involved in this thing because those are the people who are suffering imagine you have a kid or you have another scenario without even the kids suffering you have a nani or a house manager kule wa kukuja na kuhenda pa say maybe you live in west lands she lives in kawanguare so for those three days how town and and how young it turns back stress back to us like let us really know the motive of it and if they are peaceful we will really support them if they were as peaceful as they are meant to be but they are not come on and something interesting is all these politicians wo wa na rali watu wow their houses in karena runda they are very peaceful lakuna mawa inafika oko ya i actually saw someone joking kama raila me piti ya kwa kuleo ini tuwa kada so i don't know guys my thoughts are because i really want the cost of living to go down honestly but i hear it's a global you know problem and i also i would really want you know niku ena ishi kenya piya na filu sawa but to say kifika we are protesting three days a week i feel like now i'm going to even become more miserable yeah that's what i feel i feel like i'm going to become more miserable so if we can as because they want to wana teteam kenya you know so if we can get a strategy that can be done kutu tetea bila going or closing businesses for three days then i would be so happy because i don't know i feel like kenyans are not in a in a place to hold peaceful protests protests protests you guys think we are in that place i don't think there is only someone who is going to take advantage of that protest i think the number one thing we should fight apart from hanga is literacy and illiteracy the whole country needs all of us to nafa to chukuliwe to pimo e kichu akama chukuli illiterate or illiterate because there are things even people do you are fully schooled but you are doing i was i was almost casting but you are doing really because in a very illiterate like yesterday you see at the the last time the protests were there tia gasili tubo kwa klasu wami kwa na watoto i saw that i have seen that video it was very sad like why that's illiteracy because let me tell you something if somebody is looting around the school or something is happening there is a very proper way of dealing with it because there are vulnerable people inside there so how do you just carelessly and recklessly start popping tia gasili tubo kwa klasu it's really unfortunate I hope we can find a solution or a strategy that doesn't really involve in convenencing people thank you so much guys for watching friends vibe let us know down on the comment section what are your thoughts about now we have mandamano on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday according to what senator Nairobi County Edwin Sifuna has said thank you so much for watching friends vibe until next time adios goodbye from us
