Infinix has officially launched its AI-powered Infinix AI Buds (model XE37) in Kenya, months after their global debut, with a recommended retail price of KES 8,999. In the innovation space, four young Kenyan women from Team Avytria will represent Kenya at the continental finals of the Absa Bank Kenya–GirlCode Women-in-Tech Hackathon. Their AI-powered fintech platform, "Jasho – Powering Your Hustle," won the national round. Concurrently, authorities in Kenya have cracked down on illegal streaming services with the arrest of Kelvin Kiplang’at Singoéi in Eldoret. He is accused of operating an underground network distributing pirated WAKA TV content, which resulted in the disconnection of 64 subscribers.
