Brian Kipchumba, a student pursuing a diploma in ICT, impressed President William Ruto after demonstrating how he was making Ksh26,000 a week through part-time online jobs.
Kipchumba who engaged President Ruto revealed that he earns that money through an online platform called Remotask.
Remotasks is an online platform where you can earn money by completing small tasks that help train artificial intelligence (AI) systems. These tasks can involve anything from labelling images and transcribing audio to testing out new AI features and providing feedback.
The student who met Ruto at Jitume ICT Laboratories in Mosop Nandi County, displayed his workbench indicating that he pocketed Ksh40,000 after task for a task he did from December.
“I want to show you my success through the digital platforms and I am still in school,” he stated while taking Ruto through his Remotask account.
The Head of State appeared impressed by his skills imploring him to help his administration to tell other Kenyans that online jobs pay.
“So I have been trying to explain to Kenyans that it is possible to earn in digital jobs. So you will help me persuade young people that there are opportunities in digital jobs,” Ruto appealed to Kipchumba.
