The debate is gaining popularity in Kenya after a Russian man, Vladislav Liukov, aka Yaytseslav Truhov, filmed several Kenyan women he was picking up on the street and taking them to his home.
The videos were widely criticized, prompting the Kenyan government to ask the victims to come forward and record statements.
What did Larry Madowo say about the recording glasses?
However, it was later revealed that the Russian man was using glasses with a new technology, where the glasses have a camera.
There have also been reports of companies sending video from the glasses to a station in Nairobi to analyze what the glasses were capturing.
In Larry’s video, he puts on the glasses and uses them to record while showing people how to tell if they are working. He said:
“It records when this light is on. But that is not always visible to everyone, especially when you are far away. Some investigations claim that the videos recorded by these glasses are sent to Nairobi and are sent to Kenyan workers. But these workers see sensitive information, people sleeping together, or undisclosed credit cards. This is how you can know it is recording. When you are close, it is clear. When you are far away, it is not easy to know when you are recording,” he said.

@Mungwana said:
“They need to be banned in Kenya because security will be compromised big time. Kenya is a country that should be governed by the rule of law.”
@The Chocolate Pantha said:
“Kenya is the foreigner’s test lab.”
@Xtate said:
“We use blockers to stop someone from noticing the recording.”
@Black Lotus said:
“This is how the Russian man managed to record the women.”
@Dot said:
“The sneaky ones drill the light and put epoxy. Can’t tell.”
@Esther 254 said:
“If you are caught by them in Dubai, you will say well who sent you. You will sleep inside.”
@Deno JA said:
“These glasses should be mandatory for traffic police in Kenya.”
@Love said:
“I think the glasses can be used for the greater good. But few people will destroy things.”
