There are already ventilators available. Why are we trying to reinvent the wheel? Copy paste reverse engineer it and mass produce it in Kenya.

I'm all for progress but this one does not sit right with me.

Most likely that's what will happen, but to avoid future legal battle, certain processes and lingo have to be involved.
 
This is really good news, even if they do not succeed on time, Kenya will have gained knowledge on how to construct cheap ventilator machines for our hospitals and we can use that to equip our hospitals and to export to the rest of the region.
After the coronavirus pandemic is over, Kenya will be in a better position to handle future pandemics.
a) Unilever has expanded their lifebuoy sanitizer gel production line by a factor of 4, meaning Kenya will start exporting sanitizers to the region once this pandemic is over.
b) Kemri will also export their rapid test kit to the region too.
c) If these young gallant men succeed, then Kenya will be exporting cheap and affordable ventilators to the region.
d) Kenya is currently making and exporting face masks to the region manufactured from our epz zones
e) Kenya has of late ramped up production of face shields for our doctors, nurses and clinical officers which will be exported to the region once the pandemic is over.

Yaani akili ya Mkenya ni ya Kuku kabisa, Kwaiyo in the midst of corona pandemic you are trying invent a Ventilator, something invented and developed centuries ago.
Besides, that can't be a Ventilator, ni takataka fulani tu inayohitaji multiple trials to be approved for medical use, msiwe wapumbavu huu sio muda wake. Why don't you order them from China?

Poleni ndugu zetu, nimekosa tafsiri ya prototype na ventilator, yaani Kiswahili kimechelewa sana kwa kweli.

Hawa vijana juzi waligonga vichwa vya habari kwa kuthubutu, kujituma na kutengeneza ventilator, sasa serikali imeamua kuwekeza kwao na kuwapa kititita cha hela wakamilishe moja iwe kama mfano wa nyingi zitakazotengenezwa.

Hii yote ni kuendelea kupambana dhidi ya Corona, ikumbukwe pia Kenya imeanza kutengeneza vifaa vya kupima Corona.

Samuel Kairu and Paul Kariuki alongside Dr. J. Nderitu and Peter Ndegwa were awarded Ksh 200,000 by the Ministry of Trade to come up with a ventilator prototype.

Paul and Samuel's story was first highlighted by Kenyans.co.ke after the two posted a video online about a ventilator that they had created.

The duo came up with a prototype in an impressive four days at their workshop in Thika after noticing a high demand for the equipment.

On Tuesday, April 7, the young innovators were awarded Ksh 200,000 to come up with a proper prototype after meeting Ministry of Trade Cabinet Secretary Betty Maina.

In an exclusive interview with Kenyans.co.ke Paul revealed details of the meeting, "We were awarded Ksh 200,000 to make another prototype."

"The money was delegated to KIRDI (Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute), they will hand us the money after receiving portions from KEBS and KIPI (Kenya Industrial Property Institute)," he informed.

Dr. Nderitu will work together with the team to ensure the final product is safe to use on patients who are in dire need of air but have difficulty in breathing.

The government handed the young innovators 10 days to come with a prototype that meets international standards.

Paul noted that Betty was impressed with the innovation, "She saw it and said she will support our idea and was happy that we are trying to help the government and Kenyans, she promised to guide us till the process is complete."

The team plans to use the Ksh 200,000 to buy equipment for the prototype and the necessary facilitation needed during the project.

A tweet by Ministry of Trade confirmed the meeting of the team with Betty Maina, "Four young innovators have won government admiration for coming up with a ventilator."

"Samuel Ndegwa, Dr. J. Nderitu, Paul Kariuki and Peter Ndegwa will now work under KIRDI to produce a prototype which meets global standards," it added.

A ventilator is a machine that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe.

Paul has previously owned a cybercafe but has a history in repairing cars while Samuel is a software developer.

Halafu wewe hapo ndio hujinadi kama mtaalam wa Watanzania na akili zako hizo hata bata afadhali, hiyo nchi yenu ina shida kubwa sana na ndio maana mpo nyuma hivi maskini wa kutupwa licha ya kuwa na kila aina ya raslimali, maana wanaoitwa wataalam asilimia kubwa wana IQ kama yako, nyie ni mzigo mkubwa sana dunia hii, hamchangii kwa chochote zaid ya kuzaliana.
Tutatengeza haya madubwana na tuje kuyauza huko maana kawaida bidhaa zetu hutamalaki sana huko kwenu.
