 Welkom back and as always it is a pleasure being with you and quickly gentlemen I want us to just move to the next thing because we still have more stories that we have not yet captured. We have not yet captured what we have just captured but before we go on a break you are about to give your rejoinder. And if you listen very carefully to the NDC or ODM they are talking so keenly on returning BBI so that Uwuru who is reportedly too young to retire can still click back to the government. I tend to disagree with that proposition and I am not even ready for that conversation but I would say confidently if Barack Obama retired at 53 Uwuru is too old to retire at 61 it should just go on peacefully. I will not go there. I will not go there. I refuse to listen to traditions. Still in the headlines today on this particular Monday morning Deputy President William Bruto and ANC Leader Musala Mudavadi have left the country and of course they left the country earlier yesterday for a 10 day trip to the U.S. and the U.K. And I saw this particular morning a tweet by Governor Mutahi Kahiga who says good morning Hasla Nation, our fifth landed in U.S., a few hours thanks to God for the safe journey, have a blessed day ahead so we can see their pictures of the DP. And of course they have landed already. The delegates include Governor Nanok, Amvoria and Waiguru, Kiz Senators, members of parliament and policy experts. During the tour the DP and Mudavadi will meet officials of the state's department and the Pentagon in the U.S. Of course a statement released by Ababuna Momba who is the head of international relations at the Ruto's presidential campaign secretariat indicated that the DP would meet the U.S. government's national security council advisor. In the hell as the day, Ruto Mudavadi leave for 10 day tour of U.S. and of course U.K. As I mentioned earlier on we have in the delegation what the DP's wife Rachel Turkana, Governor Josepha Nanok, he is Kuala counterpart in Turkana, Governor Salim Muvuria, Kirinyagas, Anwaiguru, Nakuru Senators, Mrudan Kihega, Elgeo Marakuit, counterpart Kipchumamurkomen, MPs Aiden Doale, Rikadi Kachagwa and Din Din Yoro. These are some of the people who have accompanied the DP, we have Kimani Chunga also, we have Ali Zohome among many others. And of course, former Foreign Affairs CS Namwamba and the DP's presidential campaign spokesman Hussein Mohamed are also there. In regards to this many Kenyans have given in their voice. In regards to that the Kenya Kwanzaa team is to meet officials of America State Department and Pentagon as well as senior British leaders. In the U.K. they will visit the National Counter Terrorism Center and speak at both the common wealth secretariat and the Royal Institute of International Affairs. That is at Chatham House. And of course we've seen the DP speaking at Chatham House before and it is there that many proclamations have been made. The DP will also engage Kenya's diaspora in America and Britain. What are some of the expectations we see that will take place during this time they visit of the DP? Harum. Thank you very much Harama. So it is as you can all, as well as we know, this is the time that the political intrigues is towards its climax. So I know there are a lot of speculations but to me I think the deputy president is just opening up its networking in terms of relationship and there is no anything big. Yes. Because still there are statements that are given that they are going to be talking about governance and economic development in Kenya, East Africa and Africa at large. John, your expectations from this 10 day visit? So this is two things. Before people say that it would not be a good person to relate to the West and now it's going to meet important delegations from those countries, the U.S. and the U.K. Who are very close allies to Kenya development plans. So for me I already see that he's trying to write off some of the speculations that have been there before. Some of the perceptions that people have held about Iman relations with especially the West. So this is a time that is actually breaking barriers and I expect that it is going to build a lasting relationship for Iman of course with the West. It is actually one of the nice things to happen because last year and a few days back we will see that it is not very easy for him to leave the country for any such meetings. But now it's happening which is a good indicator that we can build relationships the same way the other person can build relationships. Alright. And just twist this kidogo to the politics I did. These 10 days will be the best days in this political period for Azimiyu because they are dancing on the floor alone. I saw yesterday the Musa'atuli was saying when Ra'ila used to be out of the country the so-called East team the Jaws could run the Ra'ila's campaigns without any interference. But now Ruto has gone for a 10 day visit that everything in Kenyakwasa has stopped now. I don't think that's the case. This is just an allegation. But I would speak from there. I think actually expected to see his brigade being one of a company. I think that's what he wanted to see. Yes. But still they will be talking there. Yes. These are high end meetings. They are going to meet at the Pentagon. They are going to meet at the House. And like I said important declaration and proclamation have been made in those spaces. So this is already a good indicator that the next government whoever forms it will have the blessings of the world. Because Ra'ila has been there before. Ra'ila will maybe be back there. We don't know when. But Ruto is now there. So we already have a conversation with the West that everyone really wants to be on guard. So me I already see a good thing and I am lacking the progress. Lacking the progress. Whichever side. Whichever side it is. And I'm looking at this particular conversation even in terms of international perspective. How progressive is this for Kenya? Of course in regards to building Kenya's relations with the West. Yes. You see Kenya as a country we have a lot to do with the West. In terms of business. In terms of economic sponsorship. A lot of things education. You can mention across the sectors. This is very important because you don't remember. You don't forget Rama West. We have a good relationship with the West. So Ruto going there to strengthen and make a relationship. I think it will be of our advantage. In terms of building relations with the West. This is very progressive. I think for me it is very progressive because like he just mentioned. Most of our students go to study out there. Most of our progressive minds also go there to just get innovative and to create. But then most importantly again to grow our sectors in this country. We rely mostly on partnerships. Private public partnerships we rely mostly on foreign investment. And so when we have a good view in the government. It is very easy to even attract and to bring in such advices. So I tend to agree that it is building a very good base for international relations. Especially the country and the country is going to win big. In other spaces I would say confidently that it is also time that as a country we start to find ways of intensifying production in the country. So we do not have to always rely on the good will of the West to invest here. But then I think just to analyze what is happening in the political sphere. This is a good go. Alright. And of course today also and let's just quickly touch on other stories that are still making headlines today. Aha. My goodness. My phone was in mehan. I cannot see it. Help me with your paper. Help me with that. I will just bring the paper. There is a story on education. Relief for students on education. And of course this is a story that I was really much very much interested in. Because our candidates are going to sit for the exams. They are starting next week? Yes. And it is something we need to talk about. We need to talk about. So this. Yes. Where is that? Found it. Yes. Relief for candidates as teachers call off strike. And the kind of union of post primary education teachers. Yesterday called off a planned national strike ahead of the KCSE. Examination which kicks off next week. Of course you can see there on your page an image of students there. Of course the union secretary general Akelo Misori said they had called off the strike to enable the examination procedure smoothly. He however asked the teachers. He asked the government to guarantee security of teachers during the provision of the exams. The union has at the same time called on the governments to give teachers the necessary support. In terms of advocate protection in bandit prone areas. And of course the president Kusumu Adi weekend Misori said that it was up to the government to beef up security to address fears raised by some teachers. Who had been tasked to invite the examination in conflict prone counties. The TSE had written to the union's officials warning that the planned strike would disrupt the national examinations. Now it is a relief for candidates as the teachers have called off the strike. You can see their picture on your screen. The education CS prof. John Magoha when he commissioned new CBC classrooms at the Kasarini Secondary School in Kiambu County on Saturday. And of course we have the co-pat that wants the TSE to revise the 2021-205 CBA. With a view of affecting a 30 to 70% salary increment. Of course there is a re-insurance demand here. Education CS Magoha why yesterday are reassuring candidates that all measures have been taken to ensure the exam is full of any incidences of cheating. And that the results will be fair. What do you think about that job, your view? In the first place I don't know why teachers almost call for a strike towards a national examination. Security. This is not about security. If you read further you realize that it is about the collective again agreement that was signed in 2021. We are the issue of some areas that have an issue of banditry and teachers fear for their lives. And of course the CBA is also in the conversation. But your question is why now? Exactly why now? Is it because they do not want to give the students an ample time? Or is it the right time to strike a deal? And you see when such a thing happens when you strike a deal at such a time then the government is also likely to commit to things they know where they are not able to deliver on. And it is also risky for the future. Because if these teachers have been teaching in such environments all through and it is only during exams that they feel that it is insecure. And they feel we need to do something about it. I think that is not sustainable. I think we need to have this conversation honestly. And I don't at times like the attitude that TSC brings on the table when negotiating with the teachers unions. I think it's time they need to turn down. Let us have this conversation and solve this problem once and for all. We need our teachers to be safe for them to deliver proper education to our children. And we also need our children to be guaranteed that they will be safe even in the schools. It is very sad to see that a school bus is attacked and students are affected. It is so sad. So security needs to be guaranteed. So like the teachers are pushing for that. I feel that it shouldn't be an instantaneous conversation. The only speak now because it is an opportunity for them to be at. Let them at this conversation continuously even after these exams. So we would not have a occurrence of it towards them. To me I think the teachers are right. As you all know that going on strike is one of the way that you are forcefully communicating to be heard. So now as you are demonstrating for you to be heard then you must always take advantage of stations that matters. So to teachers they know that if they are not going to strike when handling an urgent matter that needs to be addressed then they will never be heard. That's why you can see them coming. My colleague is asking why now are they bringing these demands? They are bringing these demands simply because they need to be heard and be heard urgently. See these demands are like also the state. It is not coming, it is not something that is happening now. It is some accusation that has started a very long time ago. Do you know why? There is no way you can keep on calling for your right, for your demand and it is like the government is giving them a death here. So they have no option because they have been promised over and over again but it becomes a very hard task for this to be implemented. For instance the CBA that we are talking about, when was it made? It is some time way back. But still the government has no interest implementing the CBA. But still I am looking at also the students and the kids. You can have that back. The students are the kids. Yes they are going to do the examination and I was really concerned about how this might affect the KCSE and the CS also gave in his voice and he was saying we should not play around with this. And he was saying that these children are not chess. It is not a game of chess and we should be very careful and they are prepared to call off that strike. I am looking at the preparedness. Are our children prepared? Are they ready? Will such things affect the examinations in the long run or do we expect to see a different time of events between now and next week so that by the time the exams are starting we see something else happening and the exams are affected? To me, I don't think they are fully prepared. We saw students displaced, some of them were killed and psychologically it is not putting them in a good place to be sober for this exam. I think I feel for the students of today because you remember very well that it is only in the last two months that there has been more strikes in this country in schools than has ever been in the history of the country. So already the question was affected at Vassil during that period. And then again these are two months, two years. Two months. The strikes of last years. So those are just happened. Schools were closed, most schools and even the schools were closed because of the situation. And these children are back. Within a very short time I think two months they are supposed to see their exams and then again you threaten to have a strike that is throwing them off balance which is offsetting them. There is another exam that is coming up in November. I don't think our children have such mental powers to withstand such distress. So it is going to affect the results of these years exams and it is very unfortunate that the ministry thinks when there is not many good grades that then the exams were credible. The students will fail and we think those were the best exams. Yet it is just because there was a distress. So I don't like the old situation. So Rama, you see most of the things that happens within the education sector the government can largely be blamed. The reason why you can see this country I don't think there is equality in education sector. That is how I see. According to me, that is my own opinion. We don't have equality in education sector. So I am really arguing with the government. What do you mean when you say equality? Equality between water and water? Ya, like now for instance if you are to visit some parts of this country you realize that the pupils of the students are studying under the tree no classrooms, no good infrastructure. We don't want equality in terms of resources. Yes, in terms of resources. So now we expect such a student to compete with a student in our school. So that's why I'm saying there is no equality in terms of resources. So this is unfair. So the government it is the highest time that the government should step in and harmonize the whole resource issue across the country. It is very unfortunate. I would like you to talk to your people because now your people in your world those families have children and they have they must hear what their leaders are saying what what did you give them people from Viruta, people from Lindi in regards to this national examination that we are expected to see come next week it's still on your own. And what would you normally tell them? What piece of work to dispute to your people in regards to the exam that is coming up next week? Okay, now I just urge the people that let them give their children their peoples a good time prepare them psychologically let them be encouraged and the future will be bright. Yes, they should. Thank you very much. Let me say this to a parent who is listening and I say this so passionately because I know how my education has been. One of the things is parents tend to think. When students don't score very high marks and especially in primary school and maybe again in secondary then they are not this time for greatness. So I am asking parents to accommodate their students now give them necessary support and also give them inspiration that it can be done whichever way. So go into exams not tensed of the results and whatever results will become of you we will build from there. Children will be confident towards these exams and maybe after the exams then they will be able to shape a path towards their future. Alright, just a little bit. I want us to bring this conversation to a close and I want to thank you so much for coming. Would you like to give your voice on Russia and Ukraine? If I did that I would maybe say Black lives matter. If you are allowing Ukrainians to live their country allow foreigners who are Black to live your country. That's what I was telling you today. Black lives matter. And EU racism. EU racism must be called out. It should be I think it is serious but to me I would be specifically let Ukrainians be safe first. As Americans say American first. We should save our people first. We should save our people first. These are matters that are trending today. Every life matters. But still every life matters. Not just Black lives. Every life matters. This is specific of Black lives. History says we the Black have suffered the more in terms of war. It is the Blacks the sons of this soil that were used in the military war we lost many lives. They themselves were doing business and that is how you say was to be a superpower because it was taking advantage of war and doing business. Africans were being recruited as soldiers and that is why we lost more lives from Africa. We will not talk about that maybe in another video. Because today also trending today is Russia forces advance in all directions as here accept talks these are just some of the issues that are trending today of this particular Monday morning we have been taking a look at the stories making handlines right here on why in the morning and I would like to thank Harum Kibagat. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you very much. He is vying for MCS seat at Riruta. I wish you the best. Thank you very much. I wish you who is vying for seat at Lili Ward. Kibagat. Yes. Guys, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. And maybe the last one. Will you allow me? Yes, no problem. Together me and them we are delivering the Lili dream. Let's take it away. Thank you very much. And of course at the end of this Monday conversation right here on youth and politics but we still have more coming up your way in a bit right here on why in the morning because coming up also a bit later on is a conversation that we shall be having right here with San Karataisu.
