Excellent Interview & quite inspirational!! Looking forward to him finishing the Story...if there is a Part 2?! Keep up the good work Afrikan Traveller!

This guy should be the CS of industrialisation

I have never been so keen on an interview! This is amazing. Kenya and Africa to the world. Mr Wachira needs to found his own school, those government institutions are inequipped thus dwelling much on theory. This knowledge must never go to waste.

Even South Africa with all the advances in their infrastructure have not enabled any black man to do what this Kenyan brother is doing. This is proper revolutionary stuff. Truly impressive stuff and a big thank you to Afrikan traveller. You are truly changing the narrative. WELL DONE!!!!!!

This man is the future of Africa, and has spotted Kenya in the center of all the demands

I have always said Kenya is vastly underrated when it comes to the ingenuity and industriousness of the locals (read black/African) business. We are among the top 2 (in Africa) if not the top. Great job AT, keep the content coming!

This is what the so called MAIN STREAM MEDIA wont show even in their business news. Very inspiring story.

I am from India, Chennai City, Tamilnadu state. Much impressed they way you expressed the thrust /passions do you have to be materialized the way you want is amazing. The same way I also struggled for long time. Finally my ambitions not filled to my expectations. However you successfully implemented your dream come true with lot of efforts you put in. 👍👏👏👏

It's just but the beginning of industrial revolution in Kenya, these initiative is wholesome and I can guarantee you in the next 10 - 15 years if we continue with the same spirit, the amount of export from Kenya will definitely be more than import. Let's choose our leaders wisely also, they can either destroy or make the great future of Kenya

I love this ! We need manufacturing in Kenya. We can't compete with the world by waiting for them to design our future. We can design our future too

Here watching... I believe Kenya can be far ahead of others country if we believe in ourselves that we can

Mzeee, heshma jo. I have been a miller/Turner both online and offline for 20 years. I have worked with heidenhain and fanuc with turning machine with up to 13 axis. I always wanted to relocate and do what you have done but my biggest worry is the maintenance of these machines, everytime a machine broke down horrified me. I can also see you have personalised your production by having your own innovations. Your body structure also tells you have worked in production. Anyway, I chickened out and did a degree in agriculture and currently mastering in artificial intelligence and robotics in which I want to innovate for the agriculture sector while also using my mechanical/electrical engineering skills. HONGERA MZEE

I will be proud to have MADE IN KENYA quality products from very ingenious Kenyans like this one.

Hands up to this video. We need 10 from such guys in Kenya and we will be competing with the 1st world.

Gives me a swell of pride seeing young Africans establishing innovative industries to solve the current economic issues. We need more such young industrious individuals. Keep it up and all the best! Rich health, wealth and future to you guys. Thanks Afrikan Traveller.

This company story should be on the mainstream media instead of stupid non-value adding politics.Very inspiring work..very proud of you brother.

Wow,I initially thought it was too long but watched to the end without a break.Very insightful

It is extremely encouraging to hear a Kenyan talking with confidence as regards heavy industry. This is what we need to encourage by buying what is made locally. Keep it up Bw. Karanja, am really proud of you for putting Kenya on the map of industrialization, we shall be there soon because of people like you.

Seeing an African with the passion to change the continent technologically is so motivating . We need more people like this. I am a trained mechanical engineer and it breaks my heart seeing how nothing serious is being manufactured in Africa. The students I met in Nigeria are way more intelligent than the students I met in North America, they are unmatched. I know it's thesame story in Kenya, Africans are intelligent! It's heartbreaking seeing our graduates do nothing serious after graduating just because of the corruption in the continent. Don't let anybody fool you, Africans can build better airplanes, better cars, better rockets, better machines, better gas turbines than what we have in the market today. God bless this man.. Africans wake up and start building, start changing your Continent for good..✊🏿

This entrepreneur understands his industry very well. He's absolutely correct, with the internet African youths can bridge the development gap and develop the continent in a short amount of time.

There's nothing as depressing as having an idea, and not being able to actualize due to lack of resources

Wow...this left me speechless!Amazing.This person needs to become a highly prized property of the Govt. He can literally change the continent and beat China and the world if his ideas are implemented in large scale.

I could tell early on in the video that he was both innovative and, more importantly, very in touch with the current and future needs of his local market. Very impressive.

Love this. As a person that thinks about Africa all the time. This it’s almost moving me to tears - I’m really happy. Most will not understand what I’m saying but this is so so so so so important. 😀😀😀 I’m so happy watching this. Ok I’m moving to part 2.

Wooooow mind blowing inovation kenya to the world🌍💪

This are the kind of content that we love, getting inspirations

This is so inspiring.there are people who studied design and technology a long time ago, but coming to the market, there's very little they could do due to lack of machinery and exposure, so they ventured into other careers.if this concepts are implemented on large scale, African countries will need very few imports in the near future.a country's economy can be boosted in a big way through manufacturing. I have to visit this site and learn more

Thank you God for this guy. May you preserve him and cause him to bring about the much needed industrial revolution of Africa by supporting the true growth of modern mechanical innovations in all sectors in Jesus' name, Amen. The best video I have watched on KZfaq for all time!!!

So inspiring!! Clearly expressed that missing connection between academics and book knowledge to practical application, what has been keeping Kenya behind. To the visionless politicians, here is how we can get ahead to create jobs and not depend on everything foreign........

You got to love Kenya!

Man to man - visionary to visionary. A lot of people will not understand what this guy is saying but this guy here is next level. I major in global international business. Someone like me with someone like this - we can change the Africa.

I used to work in a manufacturing co. Like this in Kenya,using Amanda machines from Japan. very inspiring story 💪🏿

This is one of the most inspiring interview I have watched. There is just something about Kenyans that is magical

I haven't watched a one hour clip continuously before, well done Mr. Wachira and all who supported you so far. Way to go for the Kenyan/African daring great minds. Is anyone in Government and policy making watching such success stories? How can they support the sector for further inward-looking innovation and production? As for the Wachira's in the house, how can you mentor and expose the upcoming engineers with the passion and zeal but are comfortable in the "fear of starting" zone? Afrikan Traveller Thank you for showing us what is out there..... Hongera.

Man this is amazing! Thanks for the rich content. I would like to connect with this company being US based, we can probably work together.

Great guy that will move automations to the level that will deliver Africa

This is awesome....we need more of this in Kenya...pliz part ll

Great interview. I like how he has a forward thinking agenda and a conviction to do something so beneficial to the wider continent. We need Kenyans that can think about and do things bigger than themselves like this. We should not be envying and praising our politicians who get wealthy by looting our tax money.

Imagine the impact of locally made goods on our local economy.

*_This guy is a genius, awesome content._*

The best story of 2022.

This is great and very inspiring a,let them know kenyans have brains and integrity Bravo to Macharia and Afrikana journal we couldnt have known if you didnt do this job.Proud of you. train more and poverty is gonna be history inkenya.God bless you all.

Best wishes to this business man for his venture, for Kenya...👍👍

Thanks Afrikaner Traveller for this content of Kenyan Innovation.If Kenya Manufacturing is too take off we need to bring the cost of production down mostly in utilities of electricity,water and transportation.Kenya needs invest in energy sector through the reliable geothermal as we have over 10,000Mw geothermal energy(Mostly in Kerio Valley) compared to less then 700Mw currently.We need to invest in carbon capture technology to create rain that will bring plentiful of water in Kenya we already investing in road networks, but we need to invest in modern SGR railway network in all economical active areas for fast safe and cheap reliable transportation.

Thank you host for making it a long video it was worth every minute,I never pressed any button. Keep on bringing this top notch content it's easier,to do other show bizz, stuff that attract more views .but you decided to do this thank you . It's the most insightful interview. I have ever watched in +254.

I have been waiting so long to see this! Please continue creating more videos covering their work.

What ! This is owesome ...one of the best interview, I have always said that the gorvernment should create an enabling envinroment for business to thrive....this is soo inspirational this guy can team up with many entrepreneurs....and make...their dreams come true ....I can now understand why need a marshal plan regarding manufacturing which is part of uhuru kenyatta big 4 ,I still feel there is a lot of gaps that need to be closed ,

Respect: salute:: no words to describe. Keep it brother. We need people like you

This is incredible. A very correct way of thinking in catching up with manufacturing and industrialisation in Africa. It is also proof that we have the brains in.our midst to do what it takes. Wish you the very best and to be able to develop this dream.Will come sometime to Nairobi to see this dream.

This guy my guy he taught me alot big up proteq am proud designer and machine operator thank to you

Met Mr Wachira at our engineering expo at Moi University. I was intrigued listening to him then and even now in this interview. Thank you for covering this sir.

Simon is a great friend, we worked with him while at KCB Foundation and his vision and futuristic thought on industrialization are always inspiring. Keep on Simon 👍⚡🔥

This should actually be viewed by every kenyan.. where is part two by the way ??

Simon you are bringing high tech to Kenya, I like your presentation , you are knowledgeable in production engineering, unleash the Tiger in Kenyans.

I like this very much. I’m in the U.K. and I work for some of the c largest multinationals. My goal is to come to Africa to setup businesses and education for our young people. I need to connect with this gentleman.

This gentleman bis doing what numerical machining complex was meant to do, but then !!! Just wondering how much impact it would have to the country industrialization of state prop this guy's idea to the fullest ! Way to go .

WOW! I am simply blown away by this innovative and unique piece of modern technology. I believe this will boost Africa's industrialisation! Happy to see young Kenyan engineers and their ingenuity. Keep it up :)

i always dreamed about meeting such a mind. Ideas translated into technology

2022 IS THAT YEAR..... MORE CONTENT....AFRIKAN TRAVELLER... They are basically helping to reduce human efforts. that's ver great

This is quite an inspiration to the country & that industry. The future is bright. On a lighter note, Mr Wachira resembles Dr Dre…doppelganger 😀

I am a mechanical engineering student, and I like what this guy is doing. He has potential for manufacturing a lot of things, I hope he will be successful and scale up.

This guy is a genius. This technology mind is so deep

Africa has an abundance of resources and talent to manufacture their own products. Well done, I hope your business grows and prospers.

good work bro i have a project of making standing lamp and wall brackets but i didn't no where to make perfect dies for my production when i get money but you have open my eyes i dint no same think perfect can be made in kenya congratulation proteq manze big up we need kenyas youth like you to change and build our wee country thanks manze

You both must give us Part 2. Very inspiring.

This is mind blowing, and I could never imagine we have this enterprise in Kenya, with this well equipped industrial machines and tools I think we can produce anything here. I am a Professional PCB Designer, firmware developer and prototyping. Sir you should consider bringing a PCB fabrication and component population in Kenya, we have a serious gap in Africa.

Whooooooaaaaa. This is so crucial. Respect to this guy. I’m definitely becoming a customer in the near future for some moulds. Was worried I may have to go to China. Respect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Waooh, am very inspired by this. I would love to visit this place and maybe work with this great man

I see myself in this man. I reason exactly as he is. I have started building my CNC router and plasma cutters working hard to go even beyond where he's as a Ghanaian. Good work man.

I am really impressed what's the Kenyan guys thinking. Really fantastic ideas reducing Chinese Imports.

As a software dev in Ghana, I fully agree that systems engineers are lacking even here. People who can write drivers and software to run on machines. Were not good anywhere without more of those people in the industry. Impressed.

Civilization started in Africa. The black man is an ingenious being.

Wow ...it about time we built own...fridges fan,ironbox,electric switches... those simple gadget which we import

This is year we gonna have a party of 100k subscribers..go go A.T

Peace and love happiness to you'll learning experiences and skills. Thanks for bringing your own individual African creator created creation of your freedom. Speaking truth and actions in your own humanity experiences and employment and empowerment. I'm in this serious learning environment initiative. Imagine interducing these ways an module to the table of other projects sharing within the African continent. This is seriously conscious and great thinkers educationers Kings and bodies for the African continent

The older me :) . So happy to know you are out there.

This is really cutting edge, congratulations. Some folks might not understand, even the KCB Lions could not. There is huge opportunity, especially once you tap into the large informal sector needs. I will obviously visit.

How I I wish you those in government can watch this so that this wonderful person can be supported cause he means well for the country of kenya

Good stuff. We have the ability to do for self. I am so proud of this video.

Very Inspirational, Big up. You make kenya proud.

Bravo to you in Kenya 👏🏾

Congratulations 👏🏽 kenya 🇰🇪

That is what Africa needs, brother you are on the right path, you need to teach other brother's, and create manufacturing jobs, because Africa have all the row materials you are going to need

Looks like we now have hope in industrialization and I hope our Mechatronic graduates can learn more on automation from this tech giant.

Wow!so inspiring and insightful

This is awesome work. Hoping to venture into this

Afrikan Traveller this is the most important video you have made thus far. You can see from the number of comments and views on here. So, kindly we expect a follow up, a part 3 .There are several questions i would like you to ask him. 1. What was the reaction of people who have seen this. Has anyone lets say from the govt called him or got in touch with him since this program 2. Has he had any offers from anyone to do a job for them 3. He said he was setting up a curriculum for students interested in this field has the govt taken him up on the offer to teach this field in TIVETS and Polytechniques 4. I remember him saying that he went around to TIVETS and Polytechnics and offered them his services to teach students on use of CNC machines laying around collecting dust but there was no one using them until they get a budget to import experts. Did the govt take him up on his offer to do it himself without having to import experts. As we know importing is another form govt officials use to pocket money by inflating prices to get a cut basically corruption. 5. There are several Kenyans even some making cars in rural areas , like in laikipia and those are some of the entreprenuers who may need his services 6. Ask him if the govt is not responsive what is it that he would like to take this business to another level. Notice there are several people on here willing to help in anyway. Whether its funding is there a way he can have a fund me page where people can contribute to his endeavors to make this company scale to greater heights. There are people am sure who would offer him free land to start a school of engineering or a place whereby any one with an idea can test it or for students in TIVETS or PLOY or University to actually have hands on experience to put theory they learn in school into practical. Or what is the best way to scale is it partnering with univeristies and TIVETS and Polys. 7. Ask him what is his dream for the company and maybe we can help. I can imagine folk in diaspora would help just by the cheer genious and his willingness to help many others gain the knowledge of what he is doing. 8. Get to interview some of his workers and those he has trained and gone on to work for other companies would be a good addition for part 3 .

Wow! Real application of engineering… hawa ndo walisoma kile kitabu cha Physics by Abbot religiously kama Bible

That was fast. Thanks for the video.

I love your content, always inspiring and seeks to empower!.I make sure i watch all the adds, however long and boring just to support your channel. Keep walking.

Finally bro , you don't know how much I was waiting for your upload 😭🙌🏾💯

You make me proud. There is no other way to africanize everything. We'll do it one project at a time.

Impressive! Keep up the outstanding work

This is the best video, Thanks African Traveller. I have been looking for a fibre laser cutting service for soon long. Much appreciated man

I'm in awe,thanks Mr Wachira for showing us the way..I hope many upcoming mechanical engineer s can learn from this and help build a manufacturing bade

Wonderful interview .....excellent very insightful

Very encouraging and inspiring story. Good job

This is so inspiring

That's excellent work from both of u,The extent of his vision is exceptional.Thats the way forward,showing the light at the end of the tunnel.Hope to be the next.

I love this interview very informative
