Excellent Interview & quite inspirational!!
Looking forward to him finishing the Story...if there is a Part 2?!
Keep up the good work Afrikan Traveller!
Yes we have Part 2, Tomorrow.
Eagerly waiting
Waiting part two
@@AfrikanTraveller when your done with proteq come to us.. We also make cnc machines.. We started by making a small prototype..now we have made three machines.. In the process of doing a laser fiber in near future... Honestly.. When I built my first machine I had never seen a cnc..
@@AfrikanTraveller hi am been trying to call the no you gave for fred the one building house for people i cant reach him could kindly check why? Am in Toronto Canada and am interested.
This guy should be the CS of industrialisation
This man is the future of Africa, and has spotted Kenya in the center of all the demands
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
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.
Building a school would be a stretch. Rather, he could tutor, give talks as a subject matter expert or do part-time lecturing. That way, he can still have time to work on his business, which is a perfect case of 4IR in a developing country context.
💯
Building a strong community is more like it. I feel like you have to look really hard to discover such folks doing amazing things.
@@LightBulbMomentsKE Yes. This guy needs to be a lecturer in one of our universities
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. 👍👏👏👏
India is king in mechanical engineering.
This is what the so called MAIN STREAM MEDIA wont show even in their business news. Very inspiring story.
Poor people pursue Money
Rich people pursue things
Wealth people pursue IDEAS
Perfect example in this video.
Do not sell your ideas.
It's time we forget about the fake "Mainstream media" and be the creators and distributors of progressive content about the real Africa, the growing Alkebulan.
What main stream media? You love to blame main stream media. When nobody is stopping you or any other person from showing or promoting themselves. Nobody!
So true😏
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
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!!!!!!
Here watching... I believe Kenya can be far ahead of others country if we believe in ourselves that we can
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!
No doubt!
Hats off to Kenyans. But Africans are intelligent in general bro, lots of minds like this in Nigeria too..the problem is security.
If we had peace and stability, We would have been designing and building our own machines and cars.
But the government - KRA specifically - is a major impediment to enterprise. Government entities stifle business at the bidding of the deeply corrupt political class which doesn't want to be outshined by business owners because they would lose relevance. Notice how they fought Keroche and Humphrey Kariuki. We shall overcome!
how I wish our innovativeness could be harnessed
@@Francis-qf2hr bro I agree 💯
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 was thinking am the only one thinking about doing CNC machining stuff back at home. Have been amassing knowledge on this though sina degree in this field
The future is AI!
@@mwanafalsafa3613 you don't need a degree. I did an apprenticeship here in the UK where you are fully trained for five years. There are small CNC machines that can fit on your dining room table where you can practice how ever much you want. But the technology is changing, now new companies are taking on 3D machines as the technology has advanced.
@@LightBulbMomentsKE most definitely I want to provide solutions to agribusiness companies in Kenya. With AI the solutions are endless, there are so many problems that can be solved while increasing efficiency for better productivity.
@@LightBulbMomentsKE I like your idea how I wish all this knowledge can be brought back to our mother land and benefit our people
You got to love Kenya!
I will be proud to have MADE IN KENYA quality products
from very ingenious Kenyans like this one.
Wow,I initially thought it was too long but watched to the end without a break.Very insightful
Very inspiring. With regulatory support we can be exporters of CNC machines and talent to Africa and beyond.
PS: This episode would have benefited from the use of a script so that the story flows without repetitions and focusing on on the important points while doing away with unnecessary ones. Some B-rolls of equipment at work and finally editing to bring the full episode to 30 minutes max.
This company story should be on the mainstream media instead of stupid non-value adding politics.Very inspiring work..very proud of you brother.
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.
Hands up to this video. We need 10 from such guys in Kenya and we will be competing with the 1st world.
No, actually what we need is thousands of people like him tapping into different levels of manufacturing in Kenya and Africa as a whole. Unemployment will be almost non- existence in Kenya
Wooooow mind blowing inovation kenya to the world🌍💪
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This are the kind of content that we love, getting inspirations
Thanks Bro
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.
yoυ aѕ well coмe тo υganda
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..✊🏿
I agree 100% Kenya especially is a hotbed of potential
Are you really serious about Nigerian students being better than those?😁😂
@@gnassiap.kekeli2746 very serious. Nigerians are intelligent, you won't know until you leave the country
You are deluded.
@@justincase8532 it is you and your fathers that are deluded
Best wishes to this business man for his venture, for Kenya...👍👍
There's nothing as depressing as having an idea, and not being able to actualize due to lack of resources
So true
Very painful indeed. Please don't let those ideas fade away keep them in notes and one day you'll have the luxury of implementing them.
Simon you are bringing high tech to Kenya, I like your presentation , you are knowledgeable in production engineering, unleash the Tiger in Kenyans.
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.
That's great and we're gonna make Africa great but it will only start when you and start changing ideas into realities mind you that the people who are crazy to bring change to this world are actually those who do it.
Africa will be great again.
Thankyou
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.
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
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........
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 RUclips for all time!!!
if God was there you would have had the same knowledge. just applause him for his work and passion.
Imagine the impact of locally made goods on our local economy.
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 👍⚡🔥
I used to work in a manufacturing co. Like this in Kenya,using Amanda machines from Japan. very inspiring story 💪🏿
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.
This is awesome....we need more of this in Kenya...pliz part ll
This is one of the most inspiring interview I have watched. There is just something about Kenyans that is magical
Great guy that will move automations to the level that will deliver Africa
I am really impressed what's the Kenyan guys thinking. Really fantastic ideas reducing Chinese Imports.
Wow! Real application of engineering… hawa ndo walisoma kile kitabu cha Physics by Abbot religiously kama Bible
*_This guy is a genius, awesome content._*
A protege; one of and kind. Come to mind, Elon Musk does the same at a different level.
Except all the machines were idle.
Where is Brand Kenya when needed?
The best story of 2022.
Very inspirational.
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
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.
Thank you.
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.
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 ,
This guy is a genius. This technology mind is so deep
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
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.
Very Inspirational, Big up. You make kenya proud.
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.
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.
This guy my guy he taught me alot big up proteq am proud designer and machine operator thank to you
Contacts? Can you help me make moulds & machines?
I have been waiting so long to see this! Please continue creating more videos covering their work.
i always dreamed about meeting such a mind. Ideas translated into technology
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 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
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.
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
Africa has an abundance of resources and talent to manufacture their own products. Well done, I hope your business grows and prospers.
Bravo to you in Kenya 👏🏾
This should actually be viewed by every kenyan.. where is part two by the way ??
Will shall have it today
How can he help me to get a macadamia nut cracker and husker
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 .
Respect: salute:: no words to describe. Keep it brother. We need people like you
The older me :) . So happy to know you are out there.
This is quite an inspiration to the country & that industry. The future is bright. On a lighter note, Mr Wachira resembles Dr Dre…doppelganger 😀
Absolutely. This is Dr Dre Kabisa 😀
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 .
2022 IS THAT YEAR..... MORE CONTENT....AFRIKAN TRAVELLER... They are basically helping to reduce human efforts. that's ver great
Transforming the continent by making what we use
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 :)
Wow ...it about time we built own...fridges fan,ironbox,electric switches... those simple gadget which we import
Way to go Wachira!!! Message to graduates and other young folks to stop acting ‘victims’ of unemployment. Time to stop waiting for an opportunity but actually creating one!
so we need more creative product designers and the man is ready to make it a reality.thanks
Looks like we now have hope in industrialization and I hope our Mechatronic graduates can learn more on automation from this tech giant.
You both must give us Part 2. Very inspiring.
Good stuff. We have the ability to do for self. I am so proud of this video.
Civilization started in Africa. The black man is an ingenious being.
This is one of the most interesting video I have come across online more so a Kenyan story very very nice story...I am totally amazed..his is just unbelievable that this happens right here in Kenya. Thank you for this awesome interview. We need more of this kind of stuff.
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
Wish we could be electing him as kenyan manager in august....if you know what i mean
Wooooooow woooooooow! Thanks for the great work you are doing. Maximum respect for you. Am leaving in Uganda and for long I've been having issues on what I want to do but which needs molds and I was hesitant to put together cash to go to China. Am very happy that you guys are now doing this kind of work back here in Africa. Please help me with your contact so that I can get in touch with you. Although am also of the view that why don't you go the Elon Musk way were you strip machines and trying to manufacture piece by piece or make molds for these different pieces.
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.
Hello Aron, this is really good that you are a pub designer. Keep it up. You should consider investing in the pcb line
Hello @@simonmuthike , thank you for the complement, My challenge at the moment is the starting capital; am a young engineer in the field, and to be specific the starting capital for these machines are quite high. However, you can fund this project and this would be a great move for Kenya for Africa. It may look like We do not need these machines in Africa but i think as at 21st C, they are essential, we have so many startups which needs quick fabrications, We need to view this in the bigger picture, a case scenario, learning kits can be manufactured locally in our countries. Why do we have to buy a simple learning kit for electronic engineers and other students at high cost and we can do massive production in Kenya. I wish we can have an investor in this sector.
If we assemble all men out there
We may land in mars in few years.
@@mengichlagat You are right Job, We can do a lot !
Hello Aron, kindly check numericalIoT, they are the only company doing this (PCB and motherboard production) in Kenya
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.
Absolutely. And probably will name your idea unviable!!
Waooh, am very inspired by this.
I would love to visit this place and maybe work with this great man
Reach him out
@@AfrikanTraveller I will,
Please inbox me contact details
Congratulations 👏🏽 kenya 🇰🇪
I want to buy anything from this guy hata kama sitahitaji kuitumia, just to support him
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.
Would like to partner.

I cant imagine listening to a Kenyan with this great knowledge. This is where i belong. I have been watching Cnc machines yutubes from abroad kube kenya tuko nazo. Kudus bratha i will visit your godown.
You make me proud. There is no other way to africanize everything. We'll do it one project at a time.
It's one year down that I have stumbled across this interiew! My congratulations to you, Simon, that you are among the few in our country leading us into the right direction. There is so much opportunity here and the gap in the modern manufacturing methods is what you have sealed!
Thank you Simon for such an enlightening expose.I am one person who really hates chinese imports in this country for obvious reasons which our government does not seem to see.Any efforts by indigineos kenyans to do away with the exploitative chinese products is totally apprecited.How much in electricity do you use and how much do you pay,say per month?
The imports really do have a negative impact on economy and currency
Very impressed with this operation!!!
I always said, if given a chance these people can make a difference.
There’s is absolutely nothing wrong with their abilities for wanting a better way of life.
It’s the developed nations that don’t give a royal fk about them.
This just proves that they have over come and will eventually become a super power.
Keep up the great work folks! Believe in your abilities!
