We want Africans to benefit from their resources and not just pouring into these look at what is happening in the DRC every time they find something in the DRC DRC never benefits because other countries steal it before they can get a chance to benefit Tahoe Kenya's people are benefiting and not just foreign companies companies foreign co
Is in DRC trying to sell it do research for $200 to Almaz account to use a doing section on them because they want them to sell to them for $.85 a kilogram in trying to make them fight each other by giving money to another seller out Africa
Afrikan leaders are entitled boys, they can never think of the people, you are thinking of countries like Norway, Sweden, Germany, who take care of their people.
What is the Botswana model? The only model that would work is the Western model, i.e. leasing the land to local private companies and then promoting the creation of manufacturing plants to process those resources locally. So far, the only model that I've observed in Africa is the sale of natural resources to foreign companies for less than pennies on a dollar.
@so9487 Most current African leaders are old, incompetent, and colonized. They've been educated by priests and foreign missionaries who conviniced them of their inate inaptitude . What Africa needs is to do like China and Japan, send many smart minds who love Africa and are willing or forced by contrac, to return back home, once their education is over. I had many African friends from Togo, Senegal, and guinea. In Find them in clubs, burning thousands or dollars on expensive liquors with trashy white women that they spoiled. Without enough brains and modern knowledge, Africa is doomed .
Foreign private companies, in partnership with local governments, own and operate most mines in Africa. This fact should be considered to prevent posting unintelligent comments. The American government is not in the mining business.
I agree. We need to consider what we say before posting unintelligent posts like yours. When countries nationalise their resources and refuse to even come to the bargaining table with American private companies, who do you think invades their countries? The private companies or the American army? Quickly.@@so9487
I’m really happy for my country Kenya! Considering the fact that Kenya wants to establish itself as the technology and digital hub of Africa, such a huge discovery couldn’t have come at a better time! If we can setup manufacturing industries for electronic devices and use the coltan to its full potential, then Kenya will really benefit from this handsomely! 😊
Kenya was the 7 richest country in Africa yet it had no minerals,.. I think if we mine and use them in a right way, we will be one of the richest in the world
If Kenya is willing to share with the locals there is nothing to fear. Problem arise when foreigners take the lion's share and the upper, exploitative class take what is left.
@@gibson2675 They don't even have to turn it into finished goods, just take control of some stages (extracting, refining). Take some value for the country. Use their stock exchange to float an IPO, have ordinary Kenyans supply the cash, employ the people with necessary mining skills (even foreigners).
It’s up to the Kenyan people to make sure they are not exploited. Make your government to the right thing. Know what is going on in every step of the way what happens from this point on. Make sure your politicians do the right thing. Don’t let nothing pass unchecked. Do not agree to any shady deals that the people are not aware of. This discovery was found on Kenyan soil. This belongs to the Kenyan people. Don’t allow anyone to come in and take it away from you.
Kenya is already rapidly industrializing without resource exploitation. Adding coltan in the mix will likely turn it into Africa's most industrialized country in the near future.
Africa is the True Garden of Eden Our Ancestors put Us On Wealthiest Part of the Planet 🌍,None should be Poor/Uneducated! You do not need to travel to Arabia to be treated less than the kings / Queens 😢that you are !
The Problem is not having rare mineral resources but having poor Leadership. We must fight corruption and work to defend Kenya's interests. May President Ruto not do like his "big brother" President Nana Akufo-Addo who sold Ghana's lithium cheaper. I am very worried if Kenyans fall asleep.
Kenya needs to allow Cushites, Nilotics, And Bantus to work together and not be opposite sided from another and unite against the bigger enemies of Middle Easterners(Arabs Mainly), Western Europeans(Mostly British), And Asians(Mostly Indians And Chinese) yeah.
Those people you mentioned were fighting each other for resources (water and land chiefly) hundreds of years before Europeans arrived (and selling each other as captives to Arabs for beads). Wishful thinking!
Tribalism is not of a big issue in Kenya, we're past that. Our major issue is leadership, I'm 100% sure these stones won't benefit us in any way. It's gonna be a few leaders and the west or maybe China who are gonna benefit.
@@MrNoNonsenseYes if the military is allowed exclusive rights to mine, they would do a great job. But if the same lazy approach of accepting those who hate Africans to come and set up mining machinery,which annoys the creator, then Kenya will be no better
@mlionea Military, Nope there should be a local private compony funded by the government or even government owned compony that specially deals with minerals. The Military should just be there for security purposes.
Let no one worry, God has hidden these treasures long enough only to reveal them now under the safe custody of His Excellency President Dr. William Samoe Ruto. He is God's chosen to take this country of Kenya to it's greatest heights in the shortest time possible. Proud to be Kenyan.
At 70% of the Worlds Coltan and Colbolt DRC should have handled it's business a lot better than child labor...a shame! Hope Kenya think things through before thinking, outside minning contract. It will not rot in the ground, allow expert advice on the mineral and produce it themselves for export. ...or more of the same... Ubarikiwe. 🙏🏿
DRC is attacked by multinational countries and industries since the killing of Patrice lumunba. We found white American mercenaries with the m23 rebels. Kongo is abuse and was tricky put to a surprise war. But the Kongo is waking up and taking back it land from Rwanda backed by multinational interest
Okay good news, all right. My questions is can Kenyan people mining this resources by themselves and turn it to a product without give it to a foreigners to mining?
Great question. Since this is the first deposit of Cobalt to be discovered in Kenya, I doubt they have the experience to manufacture BUT I believe they can do it and learn on the job.
I still do not understand the need to hand over the mining to outsiders. I see they use children in DRC to dig up minerals under force, without using machinery. That is a very bad situation. So I wonder what is the reason they cannot use African adults to legally do it in other places without handing it over to the Chinese, for example?
As a kenyan I'll answer you The answer is no We discovered reserves of oil and water in turkana county and to this day it's not helping us it's not even being mined So nope
@@sasbridgecloserstudent Simple because it would actually require proper use of money and also be expensive in short term however our leaders only know primitive accumulation of money in their foreign banks so they hand the mining over to other countries and they receive their cut and then move on
@@LawrenceOchieng-vq2nl wow. Thank you for answering. Sometimes I wonder is it better not to announce what they found. Unless the leaders are doing it so others will come in and do it for them and give them money. This seems too much at times.
When kenya discovered oil in Turkana, Kenyans were happy. Since then, only the British company Tillow Oil and the Kenya government know what happens to the oil revenue. The current government is not only more corrupt but also weaker than the previous one in terms of its susceptibility to manipulation by Western corporations and governments. On a balance of probabilities, therefore, Kenyans are not likely to enjoy significant benefits from the discovery of coltan.
❤ 🦁 🖤 AFRIKA MUST UNITE!!! AFRIKAN PEOPLE MUST OWN AND CONTROL THE LAND AND RESOURCES OF AFRIKA! THE RESOURCES BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE!! AFRIKA AND AFRIKAN PEOPLE MUST UNITE! ! ONE AFRIKA!! ONE AFRIKAN PEOPLE!!SHARING THE VAST WEALTH OF AFRIKA!! IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE!!! !❤UNITE AFRIKA UNITE 🖤
That is very exciting news for Me to hear that kenya 🇰🇪 has found lot's of Coltan. One of the most important things that they can do is Put a ban on it, Not to sell it to the West and form an alliance with Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali. To be truthful all of the countries that have precious minerals Should do the same. By forming a alliance.
The government should make sure that in any contract signed they receive no less that 60 % controling interest, 60 % gross profit (not net profit), 60 % royalties , have a review broad for all contract approvals (No one man signing off and getting paid under the table), with the funds going to employ the masses , provide free education from primary to university, free Healthcare, and build up the high end value added manufacturing and agriculture industries, along with affordable homes and better infrastructure (no expensive real estate development that only benefit the few to make them rich) while the masses are struggling. Yes, and independent audits by public interest bodies & audit firms along with governmental international audits to root out corruption and under the table deals that steal the people's wealth.
Awesome news awesome fine did Kenyon go to succeeded in this and into prosper need to do their due diligence. if they do, they do diligence, Kenya and the people will prosper.
Always very informative wongel My advise invest more on security zero corruption telorance like botswana let it open doors to other industries otherwise calamity 8s looming by climate change all developed countries want E autos from cobalt and coltan they can easily destabilise
We should avoid defaulting to pessimism and victim status. It is time to RUN forward with courage and ingenuity. We cannot afford any more failed opportunities.
If there are no African experts who can run such an operation I would creat an Academy of mining to teach the students about mining processes. In 10 years with well educated geologists, mining engineers it could be done by local people
We can change it my brothers and sisters ❤. You are the children of Israel, the real Israel you are in my prayers. We will win the fight. You have not been given a spirit of fear. The angels of Elohiym are on your side. They will protect you. ❤
Thanks for sharing. You are a sweet person! I hope the best for Kenya!! Don't let your right hand know what the left is doing. Proceed with caution ⚠️!
@WongelZelalem it's sad that when Africans don't understand how business works, they react too emotionally. 😢 The minerals sat underground Africans lands dyrung billions of years, yet no Africans knew how to mine it or even know the value of it,until investors came. When you hungry a sheep worth more than gold, but lets not get too excited and use our brains while learning what Norway and Saudis Arabia did with their minerals.
You better protect it!!! Because they are coming!! Africa has ALL of the natural resources! Be prepared NO country should be scared they should be ready to take action! Should have always been prepared! I don’t understand!
All praise to the Most High for this opportunity for clarity on President William Ruto. In this time of Africa’s Revelation it is essential that we recognize those who are true leaders front more wolves in sheep’s clothing. There are those who are touting President Ruto as a motivating force on the continent, however, there are voices of decent being raised. His actions regarding this monumental discovery will show the entire African Community who he is and where he stands.
I am from the diaspora are very scared for Kenyan citizens these African leaders, unlike the leaders of the Sahel AES tend to be very complicit in selling out their own people for selfish gains. Nevertheless fingers cross and hoping for wise decisions.
100% agreed. Africa needs more mining experts and engeenirs that can singleheandly design the mine, extraction and processing of the ore, otherwise foreigners will be always needed. What about Kenyan Universities? Are they focused on geology, mining, mineralogy, minig technology? Where are educated workers thet could handle such operation?
Alas I expect the Lions share of this bonanza to go to corrupt hands. Kenya desperately needs another Wangari Mathai. As no doubt do ALL other countries. Some are just more experienced in hiding their corruption. I do include the West.
Let's hope that they don't sign away there rights to the resource. Kenya must nationalize the and contract out the work that they don't have the expertise to do. KEEP 100 PERCENT OWNERSHIP
As an Angolan I Remember the blood diamond that killed millions of inocent Angolan I hope Kenya will utilize well this resource for the benefit of the people
Problem no. 1 when it comes to minerals, is that we do not do the exploration and mining ourselves. We invite mzungu to come and do it for us. We have brilliant people but we believe that we do not have the capacity to dig holes and extract minerals. Yet we have uneducated artisans doing the same things. In Kenya we had handed over a mineral mapping project to a Chinese company. That's basically flying drones/aircraft multiple times over areas of the country, then analysing the images for possible minerals. Our president then, Uhuru, had second thoughts. The problem you see, is that whoever gets the contract can know where the minerals and present false data. Then buy the land and pretend to discover the minerals later. So Uhuru instead set up an internal team of some of the smartest Kenyans and they accomplished the job at a much lower cost. The people who sell us out are those out to eat govt tenders. They're too willing to hand out contracts to foreign companies, as long as they get a cut.
This is a sign from GOD he wants you guys to have the new Superconductors for the new advanced technology not out in public yet.😮🎉 Congratulations My Family
Africans rarely benefit from minerals, except some politicians and their families. Wongel you seem very excited as if you might profit from huge funds as well😊
Not really - let's wait and see: " The excitement felt by the Kenyan officials was not mirrored by all of the general public, as Wednesday’s announcement reminded many of the nation’s previous excitement over the 2012 discovery of oil in the Turkana county, as well as the discovery of copper reserves in 2018. Both revelations promised a boom in the economic and labor sectors, as well as better conditions for residents living in the areas but neither delivered." Zee Ngema, okayafrica. The discoveries are also diffuse - spread over different regions - no big concentration.
Thanks for the historical recap... ultimately means, as we often see...private individuals and certain families are cashing in, further continuing the stealing of what should be public wealth 😢
The vultures only feed on things that are laying dead Kenya as nothing to fear if they do things in a wise and diplomatic way and not rush into long term agreement with the fist company that others the most glamorous offer always leave room to manoeuvre and don't forget you have the goods
The proper management of the entire process is key to its complete success. From safety and efficiency stand point preserving the economic gains that this discovery brings to your economy...always have to guard against corruption and greed on every side always.
It will only benefit the company outside kenya. It will a blessing , but only for the few Elite and Not the masses. We will see. I deeply hope, that i m wrong @daniel
Am happy being a Kenyan 🎉It's not just depositis it's large deposits also western Kenya has a lot of gold kakamega forest is largest gold reserve in east Africa 😂if Kenya decides to mine gold and coltan ,,we about to be rich as Kenyans
Leasing the land to local private companies and then promoting the creation of manufacturing plants to process those resources locally is the only thing that would work. So far, the only model that I've observed in Africa is the sale of natural resources to foreign companies for less than pennies on a dollar.
Obvious caution being expressed. Kenya should simply allow no secret deals. There should be competitive tendering with all contracts public. The people who own the land must be compensated by a built-in formula. If it is a community there should be 3 representatives on the special consultative committee.
Hopefully They Will Make Use OF It For Africa Continent and Don’t Give it Out Loosely Africa Has So Many Resources it’s Insane But Africa Countries Need To Come up with Organizations that Protects Each African Resource From Foreign Countries an Any Country That Use African Resources For Benefit OF Themselves
Britain must be very happy because the current president and them are very good friends that we don't know exactly what they're friendship is all about. Unfortunately Ruto's friendship with the westerners is more than those of Africans 🙈
Its a defineltly a good news. But at this point Africa needs more simpler resources not the rare once. Coal, Iron, Copper, Aluminumm, Titanium - where the extraction and processing is easy and it will boost industralization.... Coltan (niobium and tantalium) ore is very difficult to process and its used in most advanced electronics.... without presence of international companies would be very difficult to mine and process it...
I’m not sure you understand. The minerals have to be extracted, which costs money, something Kenya doesn’t have. They will have to borrow the money to build the infrastructure to mine the minerals. The country isn’t exactly in a good bargaining position. Plus, money can do horrible things to people, you know.
No it's not too late The local people have a say. Sorry the young lady should mention the solution and encourage the Kenyan people how they should demand that their resources benefits them and not any one else.
Praise Jesus am saved this morning may the government use the money to set Kenyans free from China debt the name above all names Jesus christ and the blood of Jesus christ
This would not happen if Africa was 1. United, you'll stand but divided you fall. Infiltration would be a lot harder to accomplish when you're not so vulnerable.
