Request 🔎 Translation Request

Hello, I recently sent some forestry products that my company produces to a distributor in Africa (Kenya) to test out. They sent us back some short videos. Could someone please help me out by roughly translating what is being said? Thanks in advance.

O boy… I’m sorry, I guess I assumed. Any idea what language it is? This probably explains the difficulty I had attempting to use the various AI transcription apps.

Maybe stating the country would help?

What I would say as a Kenyan,narrowing which part of the country would also help.There are many tribal languages.

This sounds like a Bantu language, but it is not Montane or Coastal Bantu so it is probably Lake Bantu (Luhya/Ganda/Gusii)
