looking at press freedoms, kenya... now, a human rights watch report looking at kenya, on the targeting ofjournalists, logged 17 separate incidents in which 23 journalists and bloggers were physically assaulted between 2013, when uhuru won his first term, and 2017, by government officials or individuals believed to be allied to government officials. it doesn't look good, does it? well, i'm not familiar with... you know the human rights watch report? yes, i'm not... you should be familiar with it, because it's critical. absolutely. i'm familiar with human rights watch, but i'm not familiar with those specific incidents. but once again i ought to tell you that this country is much more complex than the reports that you receive. we have all kinds of ngos, and some of these ngos are family ngos, or even ethnic and tribal ngos, so the information that they spew out there is not necessarily objective. human rights watch, though, when it gives numerous reports ofjournalists being attacked, for instance while covering oppositio

if it is resolved properly then kenya will move forward. the last four and a half years under uhuru's presidency were wasted years. we gave him the opportunity after the court ruled in 2013 against us. we gave him the opportunity, but it was all wasted. look at the kind of corruption in the country, the wastage in the country, the kind of debt burden that he has imposed on the people. the cost of living here has soared so much most people cannot even afford the basics that they require like maize flour, the stable food of the country. prices are so high. unemployment, 40% of the youth are unemployed in the country. the situation is very bad... and surely all of that needs to be addressed and not have this comedy in drama as vice president william ruto has said of your parallel presidency, the so—called "people's presidency." i put it to you as uhuru kenyatta has said, "in an election, there has to be a winner, there has to be a loser," and he says "you are a sore loser." that is really hogwash. how can i be a sore loser when i won in 2007

tuesday in kenya we know that street protests broke out in kisumu and other parts of western kenya which is the stronghold of nasa and mr odinga so i am hoping that this will actually lead off some steam i do know that westing capitals are very very worried and behind the scenes iyad trying to deescalate the situation. you know is divided and there are tensions between mr odinga. and the government support is but beyond kenya is cell there is the whole worry some issue of somalia which is rocked by a civil war terror war and then further north across the red sea you have you have . yemen and therefore this is a very dangerous area west and western countries depend on kenya to help deal with that situation apart from kenyans own importance in its own right so what is happening in kenya has a lot of repercussions and people are worried so i'm saying that it seems to me people might even say ok we will go out along with some. moves if we to bring stability and peace and to get the two sides talking to deescalate the situation. in an unprecedented move south africa's parliament has prospered

six months ago what you could see in market stalls across kenya we re see in market stalls across kenya were plastic bags that were usually given to customers free of charge by the vendor ‘s. today each one of them has got only reusable bags which traditionally come at an extra cost to the buyers. this is what i use at the moment. many homes have already adjusted to life without plastic bags. the reusable bags are 110w plastic bags. the reusable bags are now a necessity. plastic containers are now used for food stories. the containers take a lot of space compared to plastic bags and the food in the containers is very little, because it you see the size of the container, that's the only thing i can put in there. i have to use to containers to feed my family. so the container, despite the fact they are big, they are taking up less room than the plastic bags used to, soi less room than the plastic bags used to, so i have to look for a bigger fridge where i can put everything and be comfortable with it. several other african countries have outlawed plastic bags, including rwanda, mauritan

the head of the kenya flower council in the capital nairobi however is concerned about cheaper competition in neighboring ethiopia she says the government there is attracting investors with price dumping. they get access to land they get the subsidies on even freight let me give you one example we. was in the u.s. . three point five to four dollars a kilogram. on this subsidized plates on their airplane and it. didn't bring it down. as a result farmers are leaving. this flour grower abandon operations here to move to ethiopia lower cost operations in the north are endangering the industry in kenya along with jobs and economic growth a continued exodus of companies would be bad news for the flourishing flower sector in kenya. the tatts market and hanoi as old city is awash in red and gold the colors of the tents or new year's festival red is for luck and gold for wealth in the new year. for retailers it's the most important shopping season as people buy gifts for their loved ones and decorations for their homes to welcome in the year of the dog. it's also high season for the city's florists

announcing it will double production at its plant in kenya it's also expanding into rwanda and could launch a new model in the east african region soon now we're only talking a few hundred cars but these moves show folks flooding taking cautious further steps into the continental market. the folks back in factory on the outskirts of nairobi b.w. is already producing its polo viva model here it is assembled from pre-manufactured parts which are sourced in south africa. if all goes well kenya's government says the plan is to expand production here dramatically that would eventually include assembling another v.w. model the small off road vehicle well suited for the local driving conditions but there are risks involved for germany's faux bogen first japanese brands are already very popular in kenya and while it is true that the middle class is growing many of the country's forty five million people still do not earn enough to afford a new car so kenya remains a market for used cars not new ones. now this next story really gives a new meaning to shopping on the fly and indian airport hop

being poor in kenya if. you're more likely today from the police than from the grim. scenario where there's a lot of crime the police are trying to fight graeme but gives you a recipe for some abuse if they do some killings. he executed overwhelmingly young man and they are poor like brian the police call them criminal it's. the police claim the victims were caught stealing tech in their offices but for dr b. chango the corpses tell a different story. and she wants to be the anti ones to the head and to unscrew the chest. or when one who's trying to get back in the head and the chest is not to be mobilized it's just a cute. we reached out to the office of the inspector general for an interview several times we also contacted i post the police's independent oversight authority for an official statement both repeatedly deny to double your requests for interviews in person. one officer inside the system however is a willing to uncover the doings of nairobi's police but only anonymously he fears he would otherwise be killed as well he wants to be called modern cop and say

and that's why the financial profits don't remain in kenya. who are investors from america and stray. and the u.k. . and i think it would be exciting for us to be able to raise capital for us all the funding for other investments that we do more often internally within africa but the reality is the stores of capital enormous in the developed world and bringing capital in from outside will remain a large part of what we do. back to they select up packing lot. soon every solar packing sport is to be cleped with a charging station for electric cars. and to me me of that was enough for. charging station if we had a mic electron will be here to post the breaking up but they are used to it to reduce behavior traffic that need the money and others get courting only their daily commute through the streets of nairobi. and this hectic times so many people have a drink on the run in the train or even in the car coffee to go is big business in many countries and that means mountains all discarded plastic and paper cups about we. just in germany the city o

syrian flower farm in central kenya all these stemmed beauties are processed by hand from harvesting to bundling to packing for transport tonnes of flowers are prepared for market on these work tables. the company's director hamish kerr runs a well organized and highly efficient operation each flower arrives in stores no later than two days after their cut. we're going to be off now some people we are needed when it comes to have ethical trade so we're paying ostroff the highest in the industry we're providing housing medical schooling so in terms of the flowers that we produce they off putting money into people's pockets the flower industry is the country's second most important sector after tourism five percent of its economic output comes from cut flowers here at lake ny bhatia growing conditions are perfect twelve hours of sunshine per day cool nights fertile soil and enough lake water to keep the more than fifty flower producers here in business. the head of the kenya flower council in the capital nairobi however is concerned about cheaper competition in neighboring ethiopia she

tuesday in kenya we know the street protests broke out in kisumu and i've up parts of western kenya which is the stronghold of nasa and mr odinga so i am hoping that this who are generally led on some steam i do know that westing capitals are very very worried and behind this is the address to deescalate the situation is not the case that do you think that there are real concerns about the legal system you charge somebody with treason that doesn't seem to be a trial that you then dippold tame and hope that everything's going to come down. well yes because it seems to me you know putting him on trial might escalate things and as i mentioned a worry in western capitals i mean you are right about what he says about the legal system but. you know is divided and there are. between mr. fox and the government support is but beyond kenya is so there is the whole world in some issue of somalia which is rocked by a civil war terror war and then further north across the red sea you have you have . yemen and therefore this is a very dangerous area western and western countries depend on kenya t
