Remember when AI voices all sounded flat and robotic?
That era might actually be over.
Just listened to this and now I'm wondering how long it'll be before talking to AI feels completely normal.
Every few months an AI product drops that makes me rethink where we're headed.
This Human Speech Engine might be one of those moments.
Gonna spend the next hour testing it.
Fred Obach Oliech charged after UAE businessman allegedly loses Ksh 29 million in fake gold deal
A Kenyan man accused of defrauding a United Arab Emirates investor of Ksh 29 million has been charged in court after investigators said the money was obtained through a fake gold deal.
The accused, Fred Obach Oliech, appeared before the Milimani Law Courts where he denied the charges against him.
According to court documents, the complainant, Kais Lahyani, had travelled to Kenya on behalf of Oro Trading FZE LLC to buy gold from what he believed were legitimate dealers. Prosecutors told the court that Oliech, together with another suspect who is still at large, convinced the investor that they could supply 150 kilograms of gold for export.
The prosecution said the events took place between June 23 and June 25, 2026. During that period, the businessman was allegedly persuaded to pay USD 225,100, which is about Ksh 29 million.
The cash was reportedly handed over during a meeting in the Ridgeways area of Nairobi.
Investigators claim the suspects used fake documents and false claims to convince the investor that they were in a position to sell 25 kilograms of gold to his company.
The businessman is said to have trusted the information provided and completed the payment before later discovering that the deal was fraudulent.
Oliech is facing three charges, including conspiracy to defraud, obtaining money by false pretences, and acquisition of proceeds of crime under the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act.
Prosecutors argue that he knowingly received the money despite having reason to believe it had been obtained through criminal activity.
The case was heard before Magistrate Teresiah Nyangena, where Oliech pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
The court granted him a cash bail of Ksh 400,000 as the case continues.
Authorities are also pursuing the second suspect who is still at large as investigations into the alleged gold scam continue.
A whistleblower has raised concerns over the recent TSC recruitment exercise, alleging that some appointments may have been influenced instead of being based on merit.
