April 27. The visitor is said to have been questioned by detectives, but police have refused to comment on the matter and kept the identity of the visitor a closely-guarded secret. Yesterday, forensic expert, Dr Georey Mutuma, who at one time was Mr Kilonzos doctor, questioned the eight to 10 weeks period that pathologists say it will take to release the postmortem results. Dr Mutuma said results should not take that long. It just prolongs the anxious moments that Kenyans are going to be subjected to, he said. From his experience as a pathologist, he said, he found it hard to understand why the forensic experts working on the body could want two months for something that can be done in 72 hours. Last Tuesday, the seven doctors who took part in the postmortem said they had agreed on the preliminary ndings and that results of further tests would be ready in eight to 10 weeks. They however, did not publicly release their preliminary ndings. On Saturday, fresh reports emerged that seemed to contradict earlier information that Mr Kilonzo was not seen alive after retiring to bed on

Outside, women and girls continue to dance, a few men blowing a huge sh shell and animal horns, as the women beat together sticks to produce a beautiful rhythm betting the festive mood. But from time to time, the group has to move a few metres onto higher ground, their feet soon drenched as the waters mercilessly eat into the remaining dry ground. We can only stay on the bed. If we come down, we step into the cold water, Yako says. His 16-year-old young wife, feet and hands beautifully adorned with henna, cuddles shyly on his lap. She smiles and says she doeasnt know a word of Kiswahili, but shyness is the more likely reason she is quiet. Sheikh Elema says: This couple has to stay here for seven days only moving out at night to answer a call of nature. A goat is slaughtered for them and the meat dried or boiled. The bridegrooms mother brings food and their job is only to be happy. The food, Sheikh Elema noted, is mainly meat and milk, probably with some traditional herbs. Virginity is highly valued among the Orma people. Broken virginity before marriage could abruptly and unceremoniously end the union. The rst morning of the wedding is an anxious moment. Elders wake up early and go to the cow shed, Sheikh Elema said. The bridegroom, upon dis-

A group of about 100 women, ululating and dancing, and about 40 men, welcomed us. Among the Orma, women build the houses. Its the duty of the bridegrooms mother to make sure her sons hut is ready before he is escorted there with his new bride. The ood waters, meanwhile, were gradually swallowing many homesteads. Salat and his wifeto be, 17-year-old Aliya Kokane from the neighbouring Ondara Village, were taken to dierent huts they couldnt stay together until the union was completed that evening.

POLITICS | Coalitions renew rivalry over who will lead oversight committees as Parliament resumes its sittings tomorrow
National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi during a cocktail in his honour at the Hotel InterContinental in Nairobi last month. He has said that if rival coalitions fail to agree on how to share key committee seats, he will rule in accordance with the Constitution and the Standing Orders.

Speaking in Parliament last Thursday, Deputy Minority Leader Jakoyo Midiwo said the provisions on what side of the House ought to lead the committees were left out because the drafters of the new orders wanted a separation of powers between the Executive and Parliament. This, he argued, was the basis upon which the Minority wants to play the role of the opposition. As the opposition, we must check what the government does, Mr Midiwo said. Why would a government that has been given an overwhelming mandate
elected. The Standing Orders were passed in Parliament on the night of January
by the people of Kenya not be (overseen)? he asked. It is suspect. Do you want to loot? What do you want to do with the mandate given to you by the people of Kenya that you dont want the people, through their representatives, to do? Mr Midiwo argued that there would be no point in allowing Cord to chair the watchdog committees, while having a Jubilee majority as this would create an opportunity for him to be overruled. He said if Cord is denied the majority from the onset, then the Cord chairmen would be eectively rendered toothless, meaning that the Opposition will be unable to play its role.

POLITICS | Lawmakers work on July deadline to have ex-PM and Kalonzo back
oka return to Parliament had gained urgency because of the Jubilee Coalitions dominance of key parliamentary watchdog committees: the Budget, Public Accounts and the Public Investments committees. We have realised that we need, more than ever, very strong leadership in Parliament which only Raila and Kalonzo can oer given that our rivals have the numbers in the watchdog committees. We are working hard to see that they are back in Parliament by July at the latest. We realise that the electoral commission
will play a big part in this; they are the ones who set the dates for by-elections and we are not in control of their program, the source added. Mr Odinga and Mr Kalonzos first tasks in Parliament, the source said, would be to push for a change in the Constitution to make Kenya a parliamentary democracy as opposed to the presidential system of government. We plan to push for a return to the parliamentary system of government to end this tyranny of numbers and we can only succeed if we have strong
leadership in Parliament, the source stated. We realise that we will eventually have to go to a referendum to change from the presidential to the parliamentary system but we have to start the process in Parliament. That is why we need somebody like Raila to spearhead this campaign, he went on. Mr Odinga gave the clearest hint that he was considering a return to Parliament when he spoke to Nation on the sidelines of Times CEO Africa Summit in the UK last week and in an interview with the Times newspaper. There are very persuasive arguments on both sides. There are those who say that I am needed in Parliament to drive the agenda of the party. There are others who say such a role is beneath my stature and I should leave politics and play a dierent role. I have not settled on either and Kenyans will hear from me in the next two weeks, he said. Those who have publicly stated that they are ready to step down include Nyatike MP Edick Anyanga and Mr Muthama.
Mr Duale said the Supreme Court also armed IEBCs declaration of Mr Kenyatta as the winner. As far as we are concerned, the IEBC is the only institution mandated to oversee the elections and determine the winner, a thing that was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court. I dont know where the so-called scientists got their gures but that is not here nor there, said Mr Duale. Mr Duale said the elections are over and that the Jubilee government was now focusing on implementing its promises to Kenyans. The Americans views were, however, widely backed by the Cord supporters on the social media, who insisted the March 4 polls were stolen in favour of Mr Kenyatta.

fmukinda@ke.nationmedia.com olice are investigating dierent theories in connection with insecurity in various parts of the country. Inspector-General of police David Kimaiyo said several people linked to the recent attacks in Bungoma and Busia counties were arrested. We want them to tell us who is commanding them. Preliminary reports indicate attacks could be orchestrated by politicians, Mr Kimaiyo noted, adding that other unveried claims held that the killings could be the work of cult members. On Thursday last week, the police chief dispatched a top security team led by his deputies; Samuel Arachi and Grace Kaindi together with director of criminal investigations Ndegwa Muhoro to Bungoma and Busia to unravel the mystery surrounding the attacks. Tension has remained high in Bungoma after the series of attacks by unidentied gangs that have left at least eight people dead and several others seriously injured. Fear is rife that the gangs could be part of a large group of organised attackers who are planning to extend their terror to other areas. The gangs comprise of 15 to 30 men, armed with crude weapons. The two counties have been relatively calm over the years. The only time Bungoma witnessed attacks by

organised groups was in the early 1980s and 1990s. Then, attacks were carried out by terror gangs like Angola Musumbiji, Sabaot Land Defence Force and February Eighteen Revolution Army. What has been puzzling about the recent attacks is that the gangsters seem to strike without motive, and just kill and maim villagers indiscriminately. Women and children have not been spared in the attacks. Mr Muhoro said the modus operandi of the gangs was baing because they rarely stole from their victims. A security official, who earlier served in the region (he asked not to be named), told the Nation that the task facing detectives, before the current gang is suppressed, is to unearth its code name, command structure and the powerful personalities behind its operations. Unless the secret codes and operations of the group are understood, the ocial said, the police would only be reacting to symptoms and the groups activities would thrive. The ocial based his argument on how organised criminal gangs in the area two decades ago were suppressed. The three groupsAngola Msumbiji, Moja Kwisha and February 23 Movement were vanquished by security operations and are long forgotten. While the first two organised groups motives were driven by criminal intent, the other was political. Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka questioned how intelligence could fail to unravel the mystery surrounding the attacks. Mr Lusaka and Senator Moses Wetangula have since called on the government to get to the bottom of the killings. Mr Wetangula wondered why the security personnel had not managed to contain the attacks which started weeks ago. The county commissioner, Mr Jamleck Baruga, during his Labour day speech claimed that the attacks are politically instigated. Mr Baruga said a victim is reported to have been asked who he voted for before being slashed with a panga in Mayanja village, Bungoma.

ational football team Harambee Stars has started preparations ahead of a busy schedule in the next two months. Stars are set to play a friendly match against Ghana in Nairobi on June 1. The team will then engage African champions Nigeria and Malawi in crucial 2014 World Cup qualiers, before heading to Zambia to feature in the invitational Council of Southern Africa Football Association (Cosafa) tournament that will include the hosts, South Africas Bafana Bafana and Angola. The aforementioned xtures are crucial for the future of the team. Besides gaining much needed exposure, the squad has an opportunity to improve on the current 122nd position in the Fifa rankings. These matches will also keep Stars in good condition ahead of the realistic target of securing a berth at the 2015 African Cup of Nations. This squad has shown potential by drawing 1-1 against Nigeria in the World Cup qualier in March. We urge the new Sports Secretary, after his conrmation by Parliament, to move with speed to make the Brazil 2014 World Cup dream a reality.

few months after my rst visit to Mogadishu in 2011, I met the Somali writer, Nuruddin Farah, who predicted that I would try and return there because once you have tasted the water of Mogadishu, you always go back. An opportunity to do so presented itself last week when the mayor of Mogadishu, Mr Mohamoud Nur, invited me to his city to launch the book, Mogadishu Then and Now, which I coauthored with Ismail Osman and Mohamud Dirios, Somalis based in the US, who have been yearning to go back home since they ed the country at the start of the civil war in the 1990s. (Osman nally returned to his beloved city early this year.) It was a dream come true for all of us. Mogadishuans have not witnessed a book launch, and certainly not a book about their own city, in decades. Most of its current youthful residents have no recollection of the city when it was a beautiful cosmopolitan metropolis. Mogadishu Then and Now aims to restore the lost glory of the capital city in the Somali peoples collective memory. I think the book and the accompanying photo exhibition succeeded in

people at the hotel where he works. My own experience with Somalis has taught me that they will trust you when you accept them on their terms, not on terms set by outsiders. The fundamental aw in foreigners relations with Somalis is that the former treat the latter as if they had no history or culture prior to the civil war, and that even if they did, that history does not matter. Mogadishu is a much changed city. New buildings are coming up and damaged ones are being rebuilt and rehabilitated. Cafs and restaurants have sprung up all over the place and the sound of gunshots has almost disappeared. There are fewer men carrying guns, and women and girls are now donning colourful Somali attire, rather than the drab black hijab preferred by AlShabaab. Boys are playing football on the streets and on the beach, something unheard of just a few months ago. If Mogadishu continues on this trajectory, it will soon be competing with Nairobi, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Kampala and other cities in the region as an important commercial centre and tourist attraction. rasna.warah@gmail.com
WE HAVE GIVEN UP. A bitter local resident, Ray Cook, says he and his neighbours have given up hope of ever having the Nakuru-Solai road resurrected to modern standards. He adds: Weve also stopped complaining, and no longer care to know when this road will ever be xed, if at all. Id beg you to pay us a visit (since the government seems unwilling to) and witness this new-found marvel of a degraded and tortured mess of the 1970s that we still call a road. MOVE ON, CJ. Chief Justice Willy Mutunga should just accept that some Kenyans will always feel that what was served recently in the presidential election petition was less than justice and that trying to change that perception will not be easy, Mulwa Sadat advises. He adds: It was better while we wait, for then we were full of hope, which has now diminished. When justice is well-served, it is felt even by the aggrieved. Perhaps, the CJ should, in the spirit of the post-election advice from the IEBC to the voters, also accept this perception and move on.
enyans rarely agree on anything especially when it has something to do with politicians. However, all seem to agree that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are, indeed, very lucky. They inherited an economy that is doing relatively well unlike former President Kibaki. During his administration, the economy grew at a rate of 1.4 per cent in 2003 before accelerating to 7 per cent in 2007. This rise was slowed down by the postelection violence to 1.5 per cent in 2008. It picked up to reach 5.6 per cent in 2010 and then dropped to 4.4 per cent in 2012 due to the global economic meltdown. Tragically, despite this much acclaimed economic growth, the majority of Kenyans did not feel the impact. Indeed a whopping 46 per cent still live on less than a dollar a day, although this was an improvement considering that it had decreased from 56 per cent in 2003. What this boils down to is that economic growth does not necessary translate into poverty reduction. This is why Kenyans got a rude shock after a report that was released by the World Bank and IMF revealed that Kenya has poorer people than Uganda despite having a far bigger economy. The Global Monitoring Report 2013 re-
WHY VILIFY MUTUNGA? Despite the vitriolic criticism by civil society activists, the Supreme Court has emerged stronger from its presidential election petition ruling, says Wamahiu Muya. The decision was based on law rather than on political partisanship or the ideological leanings of the judges. It was unlike the US Supreme Court whose decisions are often based on whether the judge is a Democrat or Republican. Did the critics expect Dr Mutunga to act like Judge Thacker who convicted Jomo Kenyatta in 1952, on evidence that was later proved to be perjury? YOU PROTEST TOO MUCH. Silence can be golden, says Taabu Tele, while acknowledging that it was, indeed, like a fresh breath of air to see CJ Mutunga take to social media to defend the Supreme Court against allegations of bribery. He adds: But while his act may have demystied the hitherto demigod status of judges, it has also portrayed him as still bogged down by an activists mind-set. His denial may be counterproductive, as it could lend legitimacy to the irresponsible allegations against the court. ROADS IN A MESS. The roads in Kitui Town are in a total mess from the heavy rains that have been wreaking havoc on infrastructure around the country, moans Peris Njoroge. Most of the town, she adds, has become a nightmare, not only for pedestrians, but also for motorists who have to manoeuvre through ooded and badly damaged roads.

The leaders say their main focus will be on economic development. Whereas this is laudable, it is not enough for the majority poor. It will not make any sense if the government concentrates on economic growth with no tangible benets trickling down to Kenyans at the grassroots. Experience elsewhere has shown that in most cases, poverty grows whenever the benets of economic growth are reaped by only a handful. This is a recipe for a revolution because the poor cannot just sit down and watch as the sweat of their

labour is used to make the rich richer. The only way forward is for the government to recognise agricultures signicant contribution to the economy. The sector contributes close to a third of the nations economy. It is the biggest contributor to the countrys export earnings. The sector also accounts for over 70 per cent of employment especially in rural areas where the majority of Kenyans live, not forgetting that the sector feeds directly into the countrys economy with over 60 per cent of the total population. The government should endeavour to kill two birds with one stone to reduce poverty while boosting economic growth. This can be done by the government increasing budgetary allocations to agriculture to support more extension service. At the same time, the government must implement in its totality the African Union Maputo Declaration of 2003, which demands that funding to agriculture and rural development be set at 10 per cent of the national budget by member states. Also, the private sector should be prevailed upon to realise the huge potential of agribusiness.

Salaries team should set lowest pay for workers
It has been a tradition for the President to increase the salaries of the lowest earners during Labour Day. However this year, industry came out ghting, claiming that the increments were unsustainable. Now my question is: does the President have powers to increase salaries given the free market economy? Is it within the mandate of the Serem salaries commission? And if yes, what about those in the private sector? Should workers be left at the mercy of employers and the President to get a salary raise? I suggest a living wage for all workers to guide employers and avoid such acrimonious encounters.

TALKING POINT
MPs must stop deluding themselves that they are Gods gift to Kenyans
Ps should stop deluding themselves that they are Gods gift to long-suering Kenyans. They must wake up to the fact that they are not more special than the average citizen who gave them status. In the formative days of his presidency, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta decried the excessive wage bill, which has continuously crippled any meaningful economic development. Thus, austerity measures are necessary to arrest the downward trend of our economic projections year in year out. The envisaged double-digit growth cannot be realised if a handful of mean-spirited individuals have their thick sticky ngers permanently in the till. MPs in Britain not only earn about Sh700,000 monthly; they pay taxes and considering that Britain is a developed country with a higher cost of living than Kenya, its sheer lunacy for MPs to complain about earning slightly more than half a million monthly and this, for making rhetoric and technical appearances in Parliament. A couple of months back, many of the MPs were desperate fellows unable to make ends meet, but all of a sudden, Sh500,000 is peanuts to them. Claiming that they give handouts to constituents is a fallacy since they are not obliged to do so. Dishing out Sh50 notes to a few individuals can hardly dent their pockets. How do millions of ordinary Kenyans make ends meet on their meagre salaries?
SHORT TAKES
BLAME LAWYERS: Raila Odinga vigorously campaigned for the Constitution. He cannot rubbish everything now simply because he lost the election. If I remember right, part of the evidence that was struck out was because the same evidence was given to the court after the allowed time lapsed. Raila should blame his lawyers. True, Raila will go down in history as a man who did lots of good. True he suered, but so did Matiba, Rubia etc and they did not become president. Elections are nished. Kenya needs to move on. S. K. CHEGE, United Kingdom NO FOLLOW UP: When I read (Nation, May 3), that the anti-Aids campaigners are relying on a Bill before Parliament to further their campaign, I didnt know whether to laugh or cry. We all know MPs score 10 out of 10 for passing Bills and 0 out of 10 for follow up on implementation. Two examples: production and sale of illicit brews continues unabated, despite the Mututho Law; and draconian penalties for driving oences have had no eect on the accident rate. The only exception to this is any law aecting MPs pay. ANTHONY GITTENS, Kili BRIBE-TAKER: In his letter (Nation, May 3), Luke Wainaina built a strong case for the award of higher pay to the KRA employees. No problem with that. But he marred his letter with the very last sentence: Surely, who wouldnt accept a bribe equal to their annual salary? What Luke surely, the gospel writer wouldnt have written that insinuates is that hed be bought, if the kickback could be big enough. For his information, Id rather remain a pauper than have my palm greased with any amount. Yes, any amount! KIARIE PETER, Laikipia LET MWANGI BE: Several people have expressed indignation with the way Boniface Mwangi carries out his activism. This criticism basically comes from people sitting on their couches at home people too scared to stand up for what is right, but are the rst to outline how activism should be done. One (Nation, May 3) even suggested that Boniface be counselled! We have become so complacent with the culture of greed and impunity that anyone challenging it is frowned upon. I praise Mr Mwangi for his courage, as the path he has been called on to tread is not for the faint-hearted. CIRU MBOGO, Nairobi
Members of Parliament
One of the MPs had the audacity to disparage the SRC commissioners claiming they didnt measure up to the stature of Justice Cocker, who recommended higher pay. If we take that not-so-honourable MP in his own stride, then none of the MPs deserves to be there because they are pale shadows of Martin Shikuku, Tom Mboya, Kijana Wamalwa, JM Kariuki and Robert Ouko, to name but a few of the fallen post-uhuru patriots. ALEXANDER CHAGEMA, Kakamega

Someone should contemplate the abrogation of Parliament through constitutional means. I believe one way of doing so is for a citizen to collect a million signatures and
Abrogate Parliament
then petition the Supreme Court. A referendum can then be held. My argument is based on the mediocre performance of the ninth, tenth, and now eleventh Parliament. The rst business the Ninth Parliament transacted was the increase of their personal emoluments. The Tenth Parliament followed suit and the 11th Parliament is not doing badly either. Later parliaments are likely to follow suit if nothing is done. The solution is not voting out the MPs. New members, as we have seen, are able to pick from where their predecessors left. A change of name to say House of Commons or Peoples Parliament would also be desirable. MWAI WACHIRA, Nairobi

Cleansing payroll
Affected areas include Mbololo, Mwatate and Voi in Taita Taveta County, Sigowet in Kericho County and ve schools in Narok County. Sixty-two schools in Nyambene were removed from the hardship areas list in 2012. Mr Sossion said it was unacceptable that hardship allowances were withdrawn from some areas and the promotion of teachers also frozen. We now demand that the withdrawn hardship allowance be reinstated forthwith and be paid in full. Let the TSC be warned that teachers shall not and will not take this lying down, he warned. The union also stated that in 1997, the teachers negotiated a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the government that designated the said zones as hardship areas, and teachers working there were to earn the allowance. Mr Sossion added that principals, their deputies and senior teachers in schools be paid higher because apart from teaching, they were school managers. Head teachers and principals should get 50 per cent increment on their salaries as responsibilities, while their deputies and senior teachers get 40 per cent and 30 per cent respectively, he said.
He further demanded that all teachers get another 20 per cent as holiday allowance. Knut Nakuru secretary Kuria Njau also appealed to the government to increase funding for the free learning programme and to expand institutions to counter increased enrolment. At the same time, Knut has demanded that the government factors in its budget funds for employment of 65,000 teachers this year. The union threatened to take industrial action if the government does not allocate Sh16 billion for the employment of secondary and primary school teachers as well as another Sh7 billion to hire early child hood education tutors. Mr Sossion said they had submitted the budgetary proposal to the Treasury to work out on the estimates and address the teachers shortfall, which currently stands at 80,000.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ON AN ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT ASSESMENT STUDY REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED THWAKE WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION PROJECT
Pursuant to Regulation 21 of the Environmental Management and Coordination (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, 2003, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environmental Impact Assessment Study Report for the above proposed project. The Proponent (Tanathi Water Services Board) is proposing a water supply to supply water to the semi-arid greater Makueni and Kitui.The project shall involve construction of a an embankment dam across River Thwake to impound runoff water. The dam wall will measure 84 metres high and its key components will include river diversion and intake works, embankment and spillway. It will cover an area of about 2,900ha spanning from the dam axis to 2-3km wide and a throwback of about 9km upstream, mainly on Thwake river basin. The catchment is estimated at about 10,276km2 comprising of about 35% arable and 65% semi-arable land. The dam has been designed for full reservoir storage of 825mcm with live storage of 594mcm. The reservoir will cover an area of 2,933ha at full storage. The embankments will require about 18.4Mm of earth fill materials. The crest of the main dam will be 1,600m long. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Hydrology MITIGATION MEASURES Replace vegetation cover on the buffer area and adjoining area upon project completion to reduce sediment transport. Provide sediment traps and/or embankments upstream to prevent excessive silt loading into the dam. To reduce sediments downstream during the construction phase, papyrus etc should be planted downstream river banks to trap the silts. During the construction phase of the dam, river water will be diverted to allow the construction works, to support the river line life at least 30% of the river base flows should be allowed so as not to harm the existing ecosystem. Diversion of the main stream should be within the Riverine corridor. Provide collaborated watering points for the disrupted communities and animals. Provide flow transmission channel of adequate capacity to carry highest flows from the proposed Thwake dam. The dam will impound and store flood flow water that would otherwise create flooding downstream. The reservoir if operated optimum it will increase potential maximum power output to the national grid and hence create more power reliability. Encourage sustainable land use in the immediate riparian areas. Ensure a minimum of 30m vegetated buffer zone around the dam. Encourage application of natural manure on farms to compensate for lost silt. Consider silt release valve. Provide temporary silt barriers to protect water quality in the proposed dam. The exact locations for all pit latrines, therefore, will be established to enable smooth relocation. Maintain construction equipment at the highest working conditions. Undertake equipment servicing only at approved locations. Ensure high sanitation and hygiene at the construction camps at all times. Pit latrines will be decommissioned and the earth scooped for safe disposal at pre-agreed sites. Identify specific point sources of water pollution (cattle pens, market centers, agro-chemical use points, etc.) for isolation and management. Institute a broad water quality monitoring system to focus on the catchment sources, incoming flows, entire dam and water downstream of the dam location. All identifiable graves falling within areas to be inundated will require decommissioning and relocating to prevent contamination of water. The exercise will be undertaken in full observance of traditional rites as well as the wishes of the affected families. Proliferation of aquatic macro-fauna could be encouraged along the periphery of the dam to ensure natural aeration of the water. Allow for buffer zone around the dam and limited proliferation of planktons for enhanced aeration. All vegetation materials (live and dead) at the dam site shall be cleared and removed before the area is excavated and inundated. Control soil erosion from the catchments and the immediate agricultural land (consider additional sand traps and supporting farmers on sustainable land use practices. Provide silt release system for downstream productivity (This will be effective through activation of silt washout valve). Provide temporary lined channels for transmission of river flows during construction to prevent losses. Ensure water abstracted for construction will be just enough. Geological profiles throughout the area proposed for inundation should be continuously monitored and areas of weaknesses strengthened. Sub-surface water infiltration trends on affected areas should be monitored over a period of time with respect to effects on houses and other structures. Indigenous trees and shrubs that have low water dissipation capacity should be encouraged around the dam buffer zone to minimize loss of water through evapo-transpiration processes. Introduce economic and financial initiatives towards water saving and responsible utilization by approved abstractions. Collaborated initiatives for compensation of vegetation removed by planting a similar volume of vegetation through community groups, i.e. local indigenous plant species. Estimated volume of biomass to be established for the compensation. Initiate a dedicated tree nursery of indigenous plants for replanting. Reintroduction of disrupted species such as fish. Dam slope stabilization to facilitate aquatic animals free movement. Sensitize the riparian communities on invasive plants to be avoided. Early removal of the alien species through mechanical/physical means as soon they are noted. Monitoring water quality with respect to nutrient accumulation would be necessary. Develop and maintain a database of animal and plant species found in the dam area as a basis for conservation and monitoring of newly introduced species in the future. Have an ecologist to oversee monitoring and management of ecological changes around the dam ecosystem, in liaison with KWS. Liaise with Kenya Wildlife Service in monitoring the new habitats and characteristics of the wildlife migrating into the dam area. Establish community interests and values in the evolving ecological setting and enhance economic benefits from the same. Consider fish ladders or by-pass channel to facilitate fish movement. Consider crossing zones at the tail waters and across the outfall into the proposed dam. The construction works should incorporate landscaping component. Maintain vegetated landscape as is the existing with other dams in the cascade. The dam surroundings should be made safe and attractive for tourists.

All materials sites should be approved before use. All materials sites should be rehabilitated upon completion of the works. Adhere to laid down regulations at all times during materials extraction. Abide by the principles of CSR on social utilities during construction. Social and Sensitize landowners on necessary land use changes for dam protection. Undertake a comprehensive land acquisition and resettlement action plan (LAP & RAP) as a basis for Economic compensations. Aspects Compensate appropriately any land acquired for the main dam, buffer zones, water treatment plant, sand traps, the pipelines and storage tanks. Include HIV/AIDS campaigns in dam construction activities. Ensure the provision of condoms, voluntary status testing and use of ARVs. Advice communities on ways and means to develop alternative grazing sites and compensate the farmers for the crops affected. Facilitate farmers to access capital. Where possible, facilitate community-owned and managed wildlife enterprise initiatives in collaboration with KWS. Use of a moat around irrigated crop fields to minimize hippo incursions into crop fields. Initiate collaborations with the communities and the wildlife authorities on wildlife conflict management.

TRAGIC | Attack comes just ahead of a conference in London to draw up plans to boost security
t least 15 persons died when a suicide attacker rammed a car laden with explosives into a government convoy at a busy junction in the Somali capital, police said. A vehicle packed with explosives was detonated at KM4 Roundabout, a vital road link between Mogadishus Aden Abdulle International Airport and Villa Somalia, the state house in the Somali capital Mogadishu. Eyewitnesses conrmed that the suicide bomber targeted a vehicle belonging to the Minister for Interior Aairs and Security Mr Abdikarim Hussein Guled that was passing next to Cinema Equatore, a former movie house. However, the minister was not in the vehicle at the time. Other reports indicated that a convoy belonging to an agency from Qatar was passing there. There are no reports of casualties sustained by any of the indentied vehicles. Km4 Roundabout is a busy area that unites several roads as well as being stopover for city buses. Several people have been killed, the blast was big, we are gathering details but the number of those killed is around 11, police ocial Mohamed Adan said. The blast is the latest in a string of bloody attacks in the seaside capital, where Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabaab insurgents have vowed to topple the government and have set o several bombs and launched guerrilla-style strikes.

DAKAR, Sunday
The prosecutor of the special court set up in Dakar to try former Chadian dictator Hissene Habre is expected in Djamena this week to obtain material that would facilitate the ongoing preliminary investigations that started three months ago. The move follows the signing
of a legal agreement in Dakar by the justice ministers of the two countries that will facilitate exchange of working visits by the special court and Chadian legal ocials. Witnessing the ceremony were Senegalese authorities, African Union and European Union representatives, rights campaigners and some members of the diplomatic corps accredited to Senegal. Senegals justice Minister Ms Aminata Tour described
1990
the agreement as historic while her Chadian counterpart Jean-Bernard Padar said his country had nothing to hide. We will make available every document and resource persons to help the prosecutor to conduct his duty in the freest way possible, Mr Padar said
on the Senegalese national broadcaster in an interview on Saturday. He explained that the trial even though belated, will go a long way in ending impunity and appease the vfamilies of those alleged to have been killed or tortured by the former Chadian dictator. The Chadian justice minister said his country contributed about four million dollars towards the trial and thanked the international community for responding to distress of the
JUBA, Sunday
outh Sudan journalists took a low key proile to mark the World Press Freedom Day to protest against increasing intimidation and harassment within the last one year. Between 2012 and 2013, 12 cases of arrests of journalists have been recorded. In separate incidents, a radio presenter was suspended without pay for hosting a Member of Parliament. Other two journalists have ed the country in fear for their lives. One freelance writer was brutally murdered at his house in Juba in December last year. These gures are from the Association for Independent Media Development in South Sudan (AMDISS). A state deputy governor also said his government would crucify misbehaving journalists. But the arrests are ongoing. On Wednesday, an assistant editor for a daily newspaper was arrested for publishing a public release from a community that claimed their son was killed by a serving deputy minister. A reporter for Pioneer weekly was detained and interrogated for three hours on Thursday for photographing the scene of a trac accident. The state TV and radio news are checked by government ocials before broadcast. Because of these things, we are complaining that we are not free, said Stephen Tut, an executive member of AMDISS. If you cannot be allowed to publish even trac accident, that is censorship, he said. As a result of these restrictions by the state, Mr Tut added, South Sudan dropped 12 points to 124th on the 2013 World Press Freedom Index compiled by

Giving Sunnis a taste of the medicine their ancestors have given others, especially Shiite and Kurds, for historical inevitabilitiesno Iraq has lived since 1683 is myopic. Violence last month should be a revelation, which the Shiite-Sunni slaughter of 2006-2008 should have been. The United Nations Iraq mission says 712 people were killed and 1,633 injured, mostly in sectarian-inspired violence. It was the bloodiest period since the withdrawal of United States and British troops 18 months ago. Accompanying the violence were four months of protests by Sunnis against discrimination by al-Malikis government. The prime minister cant deny Sunnis have grievances. Of course, external forces, al-Qaeda, Sunni and Shiitedominated states, et cetera, are adding poison in the mix for their own interests. While al-Maliki needs to pay attention to all that he has to examine his policies. Are they convincing the Sunni and the Shiite that if the sectarian sedition bursts, there will be no winner or loser; all of us will be losers? Of course, he wouldnt know that if, partly, he doesnt let people express views, by all legal means. (cmbitiru@hotmail.com) MASSIVE

NATIONAL CRIME RESEARCH CENTRE INAUGURATION OF THE SECOND GOVERNING COUNCIL
OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER MINISTRY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
REPUBLIC OF KENYA
Message from the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya and Chairman of the Governing Council
It is a great milestone for us all as we inaugurate the second Governing Council of the National Crime Research Centre (NCRC). The Government conceived the idea of a National Crime Research Centre in view of the serious threat posed by crime on society in general, and development activities in particular.
or people to participate in the crucial task of nation building, it is important that the social, political and economic environment in which they live and work is secure. Only in such an environment will our people be able to make rational decisions as to the likely future outcome of investments, thereby facilitating the mobilization of both capital and labour resources for national development. It is for this reason that the Government places great emphasis on a functional criminal justice system which has capacity to manage crime. The traditional way of dealing with crime is reactionary. It usually involves the commission of an offence followed by arrest and prosecution with penal consequences. This is not usually in the province of the criminal court to inquire into the causes of crime. Hence, the approach, while effectively dealing with individual cases, does not lead to prevention of similar criminal occurrences. For a country to effectively combat crime, it must not simply react to the vagaries of crime. In order to effectively combat crime, high quality and well-researched information becomes necessary to engage multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral strategies. The establishment of NCRC was premised on this approach that brought together all players in criminal justice system. The inauguration of the Governing Council will provide a holistic approach, which tackles legislative enforcement and social aspects of crime in the course of formulation of the research policy and programes of the Centre by the Council. The Police, Prisons, Attorney-General, Judiciary, Departments of Social Services, research institutions, including the universities are adequately represented in the Council of NCRC, whose primary function is to co-ordinate research into all aspects of crime. The National Crime Research Centre is established by an Act of Parliament and has the following functions:(a) Carry out co-ordinated research into, and evaluate the impact of, programs pursued by the agencies responsible for the administration of criminal justice. (b) Collate all crime-related data including crime rates, frequency of specic offences, number of prosecutions and convictions, and attendant penalties. (c) Carry out research into any criminal activity and in particular:(i) Crime causation and prevention, (ii) Group or culture related crimes, (d) Socio-political and economic causes of criminal behaviour including drug trafcking, peddling or addiction, (e) The modus operandi of persons engaged in any criminal activity, (f) Juvenile delinquency. (g) Carry out research into deviations from the criminal justice system with a view to increasing the awareness and responsibility of the community in rehabilitation of criminal offenders (h) Carry out research into the efcacy and adequacy of criminal investigation and prosecution agencies, the penal system and treatment of criminal offenders (i) Disseminate its research ndings through publications, workshops, seminars, the mass media and other appropriate means of dissemination. (j) Communicate its research ndings and recommendations to the agencies of Government concerned with administration of criminal justice, with a view to assisting them in their policy formulation and planning. (k) Liaise with any other research bodies within or outside Kenya engaged in the pursuit of similar or related research. (l) Do all such things as appear necessary or expedient for the performance of its functions. In order to enhance inter-sectoral and multi-disciplinary co-operation, the Centre is composed of: (a) The Attorney-General or his representative who shall be the Chairman (b) The Chief Justice or his representative (c) The Commissioner of Police or his representative (d) The Commissioner of Social Services or his representative (e) The Commissioner of Prisons or his representative (f) Principal Probation Ofcer or his representative (g) Three persons appointed by the Minister being persons eminently qualied in the elds of criminal law, sociology or criminology, to represent universities in Kenya. (h) One representative of nonGovernment Organizations to be nominated by the National Council of Non-Governmental Organizations (i) Three other persons appointed by the Minister by virtue of their knowledge or expertise in specic aspects of crime-oriented research work. The establishment of the Centre is in line with international best practices, where research has provided critical information on what works to impact crime and disorder, and has helped to generate programs that can assist criminal justice agencies. It has also fostered co-ordination in international and regional research, sharing of information, infrastructure and in Mutual Assistance. It is my hope that the Centre will continue offering practical cost-effective solutions that improve peoples lives, and focus on restorative justice.
regarding its causes, occurrences and progression, among other things, is essential. Such information would form the basis of the strategy and ght against crime. A reactionary attitude could wrongly imply that the Government is in pursuit when it is supposed to be in-charge. It is this need that the establishment of NCRC seeks to meet. From such a basis, it would be possible to detect the negative outows that lead to increased tendency to criminal behaviour as a result of rapid social and economic transformation. As crime becomes more sophisticated, it becomes imperative to adopt new strategies for dealing with emerging and even more complex forms of crime. It also

realities in society. The obvious consequences of these include family dysfunction, education failures in the youth, substance abuse and poverty. Crime has led to fear, rage, physical and emotional injury to members of society. In total, crime contributes to lack of development and economic growth of any society. The key players in the criminal justice system should co-operate to develop knowledge, skills and capacity to implement and sustain strategies to combat crime and violence. They must also seek practical cost-effective solutions that improve peoples lives at the same time focus on restorative justice. NCRC has contributed to the ght against crime through research. This has assisted the
with administration of criminal justice to formulate and implement policies in crime prevention. Through research ndings, it has helped to enhance community capacity to address the causes of crime and violence. There is no doubt that research ndings by the Centre have further contributed to: Crime prevention reducing the risk of occurrence of crime and other social disorders. Crime reduction reducing criminal acts and the gravity of their consequences by intervening in their causes and prevention Community safety involves a wider concept and aspect of quality of life. Decongestion of Prisons reduction of Prison population through crime
prevention. Data gathering and analysis to come up with authentic ndings for purposes of combating the causes of crime. Promotion and co-ordination of research into crime at local regional and international level
The continued implementation of the foregoing objectives by the Centre will assist the policy formulators and planners in the administration of criminal justice to develop and carry out strategies towards crime prevention. This will go a long way in the Centres contribution towards the achievement of Kenya Vision 2030.

REPUBLIC OF KENYA
n behalf of the staff of National Crime Research Centre (NCRC), I would like to congratulate the AttorneyGeneral and the Chairman of the Governing Council of the National Crime Research Centre, Githu Muigai, SC, on this day of the ofcial inauguration of the newlyconstituted Council. This is indeed a historic and auspicious occasion for the processes of law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice in Kenya. The National Crime Research Centre is established by the National Crime Research Centre Act (No.4 of 1997). The Act came into effect on 15th November, 2000. The operationalization of NCRC was completed in 2010 and shortly thereafter, the Centre attained autonomous status and is operating independently with single line budget from the Treasury. Todays
Corporation under the Ofce of the Attorney-General (OAG). We thank the Attorney-General for the trust and condence he has reposed in us in this regard. The Centre is mandated by the Act to carry out research into the cause of crime and its prevention and disseminate research ndings to such institutions as the Governing Council may, from time to time, determine for appropriate action. In this regard, the Centre has carried out three researches into organized criminal gangs in Kenya, Gender-Based Violence and Election Violence and Crime in Kenya, whose reports are due for dissemination after their adoption by the Governing Council. Their ndings will assist the agencies of Government concerned with the administration of criminal justice in their policy formulation and planning in combating crime.
The Centre brings together all the key players in the criminal justice system including the AttorneyGeneral, the Judiciary, the Police, Prisons, Probation, and Social Services. In addition, Civil Society Organizations and the academia are adequately represented in the Council. Furthermore, the Centre is by law required to liaise with other bodies and agencies locally and internationally engaged in similar or related research in the causation and prevention of crime. The rationale and philosophy behind the setting up of the Centre and its Multi-sectoral, Multi-disciplinary and Multi-Agency composition should be obvious to all of us. Crime has become (and will continue to be) more complex, and sophisticated. New forms of criminality, including corruption, organized crime, terrorism, money-laundering, drug-

Without an effective mechanism for cooperation and co-ordination by and between the various criminal justice agencies in Kenya and for mutual international co-operation in criminal matters, the ght against modern day crime would be a lost cause. Thus, the National Crime Research Centre could not have been established at a better time. The members of staff would like to assure the Attorney-General and Governing Council members of their continued professionalism in the discharge of the core functions of the Centre under the guidance of the Governing Council.

AGRICULTURE | Animals to be protected against foot-and-mouth and other diseases
US SET TO OPEN FIRST HORSE SLAUGHTERHOUSES SINCE 2007 The meat will be exported to Europe and Japan. P.31
dodunga@ke.nationmedia.com he government has unveiled a plan to improve trade in livestock by vaccinating 61 million livestock in the next nancial year. According to budget estimates released on Thursday, the animals will be vaccinated against foot and mouth disease and other trade-sensitive diseases. Measures will also be put in place to strengthen disease surveillance and introduce an advanced reporting system using Digital Pen Technology. Kenya has in recent years been trading in live animals, which are exported mostly to the Middle-East. It has also been striving to create disease-free zones to improve on the marketability of its meat and meat products in Europe which has a stringent regime for products that are allowed into that market. So far, parts of Coast region have been classied as disease-free zones and are used as holding grounds

The government has planned to reach 5.1 million pastoralists through field days, shows, farm visits and exhibitions, and rehabilitate 7,500 denuded rangelands. In the year, 21 abattoirs will be constructed and commissioned and 260 farmers groups supported with value addition facilities in centres along the milk corridors. Stakeholders in leather industry totalling 440 will be trained on value addition. Meanwhile, agriculture officials say Kenya could make as much as Sh1.6 billion annually if trypanosomiasis was eradicated in the country. Dr Steve Kemp, the programme leader animal Biosciences, observed that in tsetse infested areas, trypanosomiasis reduces the output of meat and milk by a half and was a threat to livestock production. Use of the right dosage is crucial in treating the disease. Unscrupulous traders who interfere with the drugs to sale more and earn more are not helping to contain the disease but are contributing to resistance to drugs, Dr Kemp said.

They cited shortage of enough data to inform policy on best ways to control and treat diseases has the main challenge facing eorts to reduce human and animal infection rates. Agriculture Permanent Secretary, Dr Romano Kiome admitted that trypanosomiasis still posed serious
challenges to livestock production hence the need to build local capacity of Kenyan scientists to update relevant data that can help ght o the disease. The PS who is also ILRIs board member said the country cannot accumulate data without scientists coming to carry out research aimed at addressing challenges bedevilling this country. It is absolutely necessary we build data. Lets support our scientists. The government has extended retirement age for scientists to 65 years besides other benets as part of a deliberate strategy to give them ample time to do research, said Dr Kiome. He said Kenya was among the few countries with a fullyfledged trypanosomiasis
research institute. We welcome research as we make great strides to combat this disease and improve livestock production. The global partners are important in helping Kenya achieve its development goals, said the PS.

TRADE | Final round of the election pits candidate from Brazil against his Mexican rival
he World Trade Organisation is close to chosing its next leader in a nal round pitting Brazil against Mexico, with the winner facing the tough task of restoring the clout of global commerces rule-setting body. Brazils WTO ambassador Roberto Azevedo and his rival Herminio Blanco, Mexicos former trade minister, are expected to learn as early as Tuesday whether they have won a contest that is seen as too close to call. All concerned are keenly aware that the successor to two-term directorgeneral Pascal Lamy from France must act fast to revive the WTOs moribund global trade talks. Both men have pitched a similar vision for a negotiating process which they say needs overhauling. The multilateral trading system is weakened by a complete paralysis in the negotiations, Azevedo told AFP, explaining it was time to unclog the system. Mr Blanco, meanwhile, said it was
time to reboot the 159-nation WTO. The main challenge is the W in WTO, he told AFP, underlining that the logjam had pushed members into negotiating bilateral and regional deals. You have to transfer this energy back to Geneva, where the WTO is based, to prove the point and reach of the organisation, he said. Supporters of a WTO-wide deal warn that other accords can create a spaghetti bowl of conflicting rules, thereby failing to serve global commerce. Created in 1995, the WTO aims to spur growth by opening markets and removing trade barriers, including subsidies, excessive taxes and regulations. The stated goal of its Doha Round , launched at a summit in Qatar in 2001, is to deploy trade to develop poorer economies. But members repeatedly have clashed over the give and take needed to reach a deal, with

deep splits notably between China, the European Union, India and the United States. Some have blamed Mr Lamy, a former EU trade chief, who raised hackles with an alleged name-andshame drive to break the deadlock after he won a second term in 2009.

The business community has taken the view, Call me when youre serious... Obviously getting Doha together is a challenge, but if the institution is seen as irrelevant, it is irrelevant, he said.

Americans dont want to eat horse meat and Congress is trying to forbid its sale and export. Yet for the rst time since 2007, new horse slaughterhouses are set to open in the United States. While Europe has been embroiled in a horse meat scandal since January, five new US slaughterhouses have led requests for licensing at the Agriculture Department (USDA), a spokesman told AFP. One of them, in the New Mexican city of Roswell in the US southwest, could start processing a hundred horses a day, from as early
TENDER NOTICE

TENDER NUMBER NGEC/003/2012-2013 NGEC/004/2012-2013 TENDER NAME Supply and Delivery of Computers Supply and Delivery of Office Furniture TENDER FEE Ksh.3,500 Ksh.3,500 CLOSING DATE 27th May, 2013 at 10.00 A.M. 27th May, 2013 at 10.00 A.M.
The last number of slaughterhouses closed between 2007 and 2011 due to lawsuits and votes in Congress
in Congress trying to pass laws banning horse meat production. Lawsuits and votes in Congress led to the closure of the last three horse slaughterhouses between 2007 and 2011. However, lawmakers later failed to renew the ban, a lapse some now want to correct. Horses are not bred for human consumption theyre companion animals, similar to dogs or cats, a Republican from Pennsylvania, Mr Patrick Meehan, said. He has proposed a complete ban on the industry in the House of Representatives. Not only is it inhumane, its unsafe: over the course of their lives, horses are regularly treated with drugs that are potentially toxic to humans, if ingested, he told AFP over email. In addition to prohibiting slaughterhouses on US soil, lawmakers also want to ban the shipping of horses for slaughter abroad, where they say the animals face a cruel death. (AFP)

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 The stars right now will help you to get any kind of ocial backing for a scheme of yours that you may have been waiting for some time. Where love is concerned, it is vital that you strip away all kinds of fantasy to nd the real person: dont go on looks alone. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 Your relationships both at work and at home, should start a more positive phase. Whats more, you can now travel without a qualm or sign important documents in the full knowledge that you are doing the right thing and that the result should be good. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 At times such as this it is dicult to tell exactly where you will end up and with whom. Some quite peculiar planetary inuences suggest that you could easily take a wrong turning during the next day or so. If you are sensible, you will keep away from people whom you may have a total attraction for. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 You are right to keep your hopes held high in a situation where you are very much in the driving seat. The only mistake you could make will be taking your eyes o the road. Focus and concentration are what you need to reach a destination you have thought of. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 Numerous bright ideas will be ooding into your head, but curb a tendency to begin a second task before the rst one is well and truly dealt with. When things are going well, you tend to become an overachiever or even a know-it-all. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 The worries and woes of someone close may be disheartening but you must be generous enough to listen and help if and when you can. The planetary set-up today suggests that your buoyant mood will rub o and you will improve the situation no end. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 Your life could rarely be described as dull but perhaps you are about to discover yet another source of stimulation or activity. Dont be surprised if everyone is suddenly aware of an increase in your appetite for excitement. VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 TAny day now you will be glad you took a chance on what appeared to be along shot as some encouraging signs will appear. However, that doesnt mean you should discard your, well used safety net regarding some sort of investment or speculation. A little extra condence will help but too much will land you in trouble. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 Not every aspect of your work or daily routine comes easily. However you should be nding that even the most exacting tasks can be attacked with more vim and vigour than usual. In the process you will make time for whatever it is you enjoy the most. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 If you have been keeping a home or family concerns to yourself, its because you dont like to be a burden. However, now that things are taking an distinct turn for the better you will be ready to share your good news. Temper your eusiveness with some circumspection though just in case there are last minute developments. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 It seems youve had to focus on the serious side of life and give berth to certain social occasions. However, you will soon be ready to put things right and you mustnt be afraid of appearing obsessive in spreading generous helpings. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 Questions seem to be cropping up, thick and fast but you know where to go for most of the answers. Dont be surprised if today planetary set-up provides inner awareness. The next stage of your life is about optimism rather than struggling.

Both ghters had their fathers working their corners Saturday. Mayweather sacked his uncle and longtime cornerman Roger Mayweather in favour of bringing his father Floyd Sr back for this ght.

that I dont have it no more, that my defence wasnt sharp, but I proved myself, Mayweather said. The ght started slowly, with Guerrero the aggressor and Mayweather feeling the challenger out. Mayweather began to seize control in the third round and dictated the pace from there, using his superior foot and hand speed to keep Guerrero o balance. Mayweather landed one of his hardest punches in the eighth round a roundhouse right that wobbled Guerrero, whose face was starting to show the eects of being hit with a barrage of straight rights, stinging counterpunches and lunging jabs. The champion also opened up a cut near Guerreros eye in the eighth. (AFP)

ATHLETICS | YouTube man Yego misses podium nish by a whisker in javelin, warns all to watch out for him
world leading times this season in the third leg of the 15-round IAAF World Challenge series. Boasting a personal best of 8:03.43, Birech crossed the nishing line in 8: 15.26, beating Mutai, who is also the Africa champion to second place in 8:19.31 as Bernard Mbugua Nganga claimed third place in 8:19.63. Taking part in his rst major event this season after a superlative last season that saw him make history as the st African javelin thrower at the Olympics, Yego, ploughed 76.43m to nish fourth behind winner Yukifumi Murakami (Japan) 81.16, Stuart Farquhar (New Zealand) 78.81 and Hamish Peacock (Australia) 78.05. I just came in yesterday and had little time to practice but I thank God, said Yego. I threw it long though not good results as I felt the ight was feeling a little bit lazy and tired. Yego, who has been christened The YouTube Man after he famously confessed that because of lacking a coach he obtained training tips from the internet via You Tube, plans to participate in several Diamond League events starting with Shanghai on May 18 ahead of the World Championships due August 10-18 in Moscow, Russia. Yego, who is the 2011 All African Games and Kenyan champion plans to join his coach Pettri Pirronen in Finland before his debut at the Worlds. Kenyan women didnt fare well in the 5,000m with Sally Kaptich Chepyego nishing fourth in 15:38.27 and junior Pauline Keveke seventh in 15:55.43. Mike Rodgers of the USA won the 100m in a time of 10.19 followed by Derrick Atkins (Bahama, 10.24) and Yoshihide Kiryu (Japan, 10.40).

SKATING | My next target is the World Championshipsin Belgium, says 24-year-old Speed Dynamics member
Participants take part in the Sporton! organised Skating Derby at the Carnivore GP Karting grounds on Saturday. The day was packed with young energetic youth and their families as well as lots of entertainment and awards for winners in the various skating, hockey and skateboarding competitions.
BY STEVE OMONDI
somondi@ke.nationmedia.com undreds of contestants thronged the GP Karting track in Langata on Saturday for the Sporton! Skates Derby. The event provided skaters, some as young as ve years, drawn from various skating clubs in the city a platform to showcase their talent. The days programme included speedskating, freestyling, stunt skating, skateboarding, roller hockey, dancing competition for children and GP Karting. Predictably, speeding skating was the events show stopper with contestants ghting it out for top honours in the various age group categories. The senior mens event was the most
competitive race with Richard Bett of Speed Dynamics Club beating o a spirited challenge from Erick Kubai and Martin Nderitu. The highly ranked and vastly experienced Bett was satised with performance saying his eyes are now xed on upcoming events this year. I came to this event to ne tune my preparations for other competitions. My next target is the World Championships later this year in Belgium where am hoping to put Kenya on the global skating map, said the 24 year old Bett, who is a Geomatics and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) specialist with the United Nations. Njeri Waithima of Kingdom Skaters Club nished rst in the senior womens category, ahead of club mate Joyce Omwanda in another closely contested race. Tina Khavetsa, a mother
of three skaters who were also in the competition, won the bronze medal. In the junior mens category, 17 year old Denis Njoroge came tops ahead of Kevin Mutiso and Teddy Andanje who finished second and third respectively. Tiany Claris prevailed in the junior womens category with the second place going to Nicole Wanjiru while Rose Mugo wrapped up the podium places. In the childrens competition, Munir Ibrahim and Vyshell Davene clinched top prizes in the boys and girls Under 5 years categories respectively. Ibrahim, 5, finished ahead of Hassnein Alishah and Shalom Kimeu in the boys onelap race while Davene was peerless in the girls category as the outright winner in the qualifying round.

BRIEFLY
TENNIS
uan Mata struck an 87th-minute winner as Chelsea won 1-0 at champions Manchester United yesterday to reclaim third place in the Premier League and tighten their grip on a Champions League spot. A lacklustre game at Old Traord was drifting towards a goalless draw when Mata collected a pass from Oscar and dispatched a low shot that took a deection o Phil Jones on its way into the bottom-right corner. Matas goal means that Chelsea will now go into Wednesdays crunch clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge with a three-point lead over their London rivals, who are bidding to crash into the top four. Arsenal are sandwiched between the pair in fourth, a point behind Chelsea, having played a game more. United had right-back Rafael da Silva sent o late on and although their lead over second-place Manchester City remains 13 points, they have failed to win in two games since clinching their 20th league title. United manager Alex Ferguson conceded his side werent good enough , but he felt Rafael had been reacting to an elbow from David Luiz when he was sent o by referee Howard Webb. He was elbowed. He retaliated, and the player who retaliates always gets the bigger penalty, Ferguson told Sky Sports. David Luiz elbowed him twice, but Rafael was rash and shouldnt have retaliated. I dont think the referee saw it at all. Hes going on the fact Luiz rolled around on the oor, and that convinced him it was a red card. Visitors made a bright start United made ve changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Arsenal last weekend, with Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and goalkeeper David de Gea among the players dropping to the bench. Chelsea were missing Eden Hazard due to a calf strain and made four changes from their Europa League semi-nal second leg success against FC Basel on Thursday. The visitors made a bright start, with United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard touching a shot from Oscar onto the post and Demba Ba curling a shot wide from the left. United came to life slowly and did not pose a threat until late in the rst half, with

Robin van Persie diverting a glorious Ryan Giggs pass wide and then heading straight at Petr Cech from Nemanja Vidics cross. The second half was similarly underwhelming, with Frank Lampard blazing over for Chelsea and United substitute Rooney heading over the bar at the other end. Mata nally settled things with three minutes to play with a low shot that nicked o Jones and trundled past Lindegaard, before Rafael was sent o for kicking out at countryman Luiz. Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez was reluctant to discuss Rafaels red card. I didnt see the incident and I didnt see
any replay, he said. You try to enjoy it if you win. If you lose, you can complain, but it will change nothing. Everton remain on course to nish above Liverpool for the second season in a row after holding their city rivals to a 0-0 draw in a scrappy Merseyside derby at Aneld earlier in the day. Liverpools best chance saw a goal-bound eort from man-of-the-match Steven Gerrard cleared by Everton defender Sylvain Distin, who had a goal contentiously disallowed at the other end. It meant Liverpool stalwart Jamie Carragher failed to nish on the winning side in his 30th and nal Merseyside derby. (AFP)

2013 TUSKER HAVE YOUR SAY Learn laws of the game before criticising refs
I would like to respond to Moses Ojuangs article in the Sunday Nation of April 28 about refereeing errors in Kenyan Premier League matches. First Id like to respond to one item: The FKF Cup match between Sofapaka and Tusker at Kasarani last season. Whatever happened in that match was just a minor incident, which may be embarrassing, but not to the extend Ojuang tried to portray in his article. I happened to be the Match Commissar of that semi-nal and what Ojuang said are pure lies. Yes, the goal nets were old with few holes here and there. The manager of the stadium was duly informed by the match ocials. He explained to them his position, which was understood. Coming to the free-kick, Ojuang should have done some little research about Fifa laws on the game. Under Law 13, there are two types of free kicks - direct and indirect. For the direct free kick, the referee just blows the whistle and indicates the direction and if there is any sanction (cards), it is administered. For an indirect free kick, the referee makes the call by raising his hand straight up. A player who knows the basic laws of the game will know the dierence between the two kicks. From an indirect a player cannot score a goal directly, the ball must be touched or played by another player. If a goal is scored directly from an indirect free kick, a goal kick is awarded to the opposing side. From a direct free kick a goal can be scored directly by the kicker whether the ball touches or is played by another player. Lets go back to Sofapakas free kick. If Ojuang was actually in the stadium and observant, which I doubt, he could have seen the referee raise his hand and signalled for the kick to be taken. Humphrey Mieno, the player who took the kick, shot directly towards Tuskers goal. The keeper tried to stop the ball from going into the net but missed and it went straight into the goal past the same hole in the net the match ocials showed the stadium manager before kick o. The referee correctly awarded a goal kick which Tusker took and scored a genuine goal. The reserve referee and the rst assistant referee were merely doing their duty of informing the referee of the torn net on the Tusker goal which needed to be repaired before the match continued. Do you remember the game between Mumias Sugar and Al Ahly of Egypt played in Mumias? What happened? Mumias were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area. Instead of the kicker looking at the referees signal, he shot straight without the ball being touched by another player. The Egyptian keeper just stood on the goal line as the ball went past him. The referee indicated for a goal kick. Mumias players and ocials protested that they were denied a goal only to be told that you cannot score an indirect free kick directly. The referee clearly indicated this by raising his hand up but the kicker obviously was not keen or ignorant of the rules. Our players should strive to understand the laws of the game.

Bernard. His job involved just chirping in with the tired phrase: You are right Bernard, he should have passed the ball It was terrible but endurable. We had no choice but to listen to them. It was in those days that Otieno developed several phrases that have been his stock in trade and to which he has become so inexplicably dependent. He cannot nish the 90-minute commentary without hurting your ears with them. There he runs through the middle penetrating zone Thus goes our hero. He loves this middle penetrating zone so much that he took it with him to France 98 when his services were hired by canal France Internationale (CFI) to commentate for the world cup. Some Kenyans were irked by it and even wrote letters to the editor seeking to know just what our man meant. He came back with the middle penetrating zone and still pounds the phrase for SuperSport. This is resilience that must be applauded by those of us who have been his faithful listeners through the decades. It is traumatic and I expect the middle
penetrating zone whenever I watch KPL matches. I get a mild fever if the phrase is not bandied around. During the KPL match between Sofapaka and Kakamega Homeboyz, Otieno and Gilbert Selebwa were lively. For once the middle penetrating zone was abandoned and replaced by other equally saucy ones: He has both legs and he can use both legs (for ambidextrous). A big collision with open wounds as well, goes down with a tackle as well And after hundreds of as wells our hero now creates his own language. He is front pedalling there (stumbling? Running forward?). The ball doesnt go on target (misses the target? Goes wide?). 88th minute the nerves getting edgy this moment. Our two heroes thus struggled through the 90 minutes and in the end you had to like them. If one thinks these people are not good enough, then he may not have heard the radio commentary brought to you by Mohammed Njuguna and Torome Tirike (I understand Double T has since moved to a dierent company).
I can assure you that if you care for football you will weep. Njuguna can talk about anything he likes in the commentary box except the match going on. With television, at least you can see the match and depend less on the commentator; with Radio and Njuguna on, you will be at a loss. He sings: mwana mbuzi mee meekamlilia mwanawe kamwambia kweya He sings the full nursery rhyme and ends up asking Torome: T.T unaonaje mpira leo?... He can take ve minutes commenting about the weather, trac jam in the city, what he had for lunch and describe what a fan somewhere is wearing. After all this he shouts Goaaaaaal repeats it many times keeping you in suspense as to which team scored! That is commentary Kenyan style. A younger radio commentator eats all the words: ankwndakleklemblemble kuleepiganje ..unarushklekleprrrpaprr NJe! If I were to choose between the two, I say give me the middle penetrating zone of my hero. The radio people have chosen to mock the poor listener.

FC Leopards recent poor form continued yesterday, when the side surrendered a lead to succumb to a 2-1 loss to City Stars at City Stadium. Leopards got o to the best possible start inside the rst seven minutes when defender Jonas Paco Nahimana rose highest to meet Paul Weres corner kick with a rm header for the opening goal of the match. However City Stars, who displayed character and nerve to nick a point against defending champions Tusker in mid-week, bounced back four minutes to the break through Joel Sebulina who drilled home a low shot from the edge of the box following initial play from Bruno Sserunkuma. Allan Wanga had an average day in oce for Leopards, missing a host of chances and his substitution just after the resumption was met
by a chorus of applause from the crowd. Sserunkuma then turned from provider to scorer just before the break with the winning goal. In Mombasa, missed chances cost hosts Bandari precious three points as they were held to a goalless draw by visiting Mathare United at Mbaraki Sports Club. My players failed to control and play their usual game because of the slippery playing eld, said Twahir Muhiddin, the Bandari coach. Made three changes David Naftali sent a cracking shot which was saved by Mathare goalkeeper Joseph Ruto. In the second half, the game was a balanced aair with both teams making three changes which bore no fruit to either side. Bandari brought in Shaaban Kenga, Fredrick Ojwang and Erick Okoth for David Naftali, Aloyce Mangi and Hamisi Ali while Mathare brought in Hillary Otieno, Daniel Mwaura and Godian Mumina for Meshack Karani, Gabriel
Ndury and Vincent Odongo. The home team got a golden opportunity in the 87th minute when after a ne combination between Abdultaif Omar, Raphael Okello and Ali Bhai resulted in Erick Okoth sending a powerful drive which was parried for an abortive corner by Ruti. In Awendo, the match involving hosts Sony Sugar against Thika United was called o after an hour of play following heavy rains. Sony were ahead in the proceedings courtesy of an 11th minute strike by Bernard Meki. Francis Kahata and Clifton Miheso had opportunities to put matters level but couldnt capitalise for the visitors, who seemed to be nursing a hang-over following their mid-week loss to Chemelil Sugar. The match will be played on from the 58th minute at the same venue today, at 10am. Reports by Isaac Swila, Abdulrahman Sheri and David Kwalimwa
Crooners will never miss the lyrics to praise storied Gor Mahia
f you have ever had the chance to visit Bukusuland and joined the locals in revelry then chances are high that at one point you have sung or danced to the song Amba Mutalia. Translated to mean Catch the Italian, this is a song that extols the exploits of Bukusu warriors who took up arms and fought o a group of British raiders and their Nubian cohorts in the 20th century. The stage of the epic battle was the scenic Chetambe Hills smack on the face of Webuye town. You may wonder why the song is about Italians and not British, but that is a story for another day. All over the world and throughout the history of mankind great achievements have always been honoured by songs praising the great deeds. The book of Samuel in the bible narrates
the great victory David won by killing the Israelites Tormentor-in-Chief, the Philistine Goliath. As the victorious shepherd boy later turned king is sang for by a jubilant crowd. As they danced, they sang: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands. (I Samuel 18:7). In later years the famous bards would pen an ode or two to great achievers in their midst. It is a fact of life that the greater the achievement the more songs would be sang in favour of the great performer. Which brings me to my topic. If we agree that the number of songs sang to an individual - or an institution for that matter - corresponds proportionally to the performance then we can assertively declare that Gor Mahia has outdone all the clubs in Kenya, and
the region too. Kicking o the trend of singing and recording songs in praise of Gor Mahia was started by the award winning musician Juma Toto and his Hodi Boys Band who did a spectacularly good song in the early 1970s. In the song the musician praises the Gor legends like James Sianga and Nicodemus Arudhi among others. Joining bandwagon Also joining the bandwagon- no pun intended- was the late Owino Misiani, who in his lifetime did more than just a song for the Green Jerseys. Others who have gone to the studio to sing about Gor include Princess Jully and ohangla crooners Lady Maureen and Onyango Alemo. These songs about Gor can only be compared to the all
time hit done by the late Congolese maestro Luambo Luanzo Makiadi Franco who sang a song in 1980s in praise of the Gabonese club Football Canon 105 de Libreville, simply known as FC 105 Libreville. Curiously, one of Francos protgs Madilu System was later to heap praises on Gor Mahia in general and their star player Abdalla Shebe in particular. If I remember well, Shebe was the rst ever Kenyan to play professional football in Europe, plying his trade at Grasshoppers of Switzerland. I was privileged to see the tall, speedy fellow in action. It was a marvel. I know sooner rather than later yet another song will pop up. tomosanjo@yahoo.com

he National Council of Churches of Kenya has condemned the bid by MPs to increase their pay and disband the salaries commission. The NCCK Central region has expressed dismay at the lawmakers eorts to subvert the countrys Constitution. The church leaders said while the Constitution is very clear that only the Salaries and Remuneration Commission can determine the pay and other benets for public servants, the MPs are seeking to bulldoze their way into higher salaries.
during the 10th NCCK regional conference. The cleric said their stand is that the salaries commission should not be disbanded. The Rev Githaiga said it is a constitutional commission put in place to determine the salaries of all public ocers in Kenya. NCCK deputy general secretary Oliver Kisaka said the MPs should make laws that improve the living standards of Kenyans. In that case they will not be the ones who will be going around making donations to their constituents, he said. At the same time, Senate Majority Leader Kithure Kindiki yesterday cautioned MPs against their threat to disband the salaries commission for failing to bow to their demands for higher perks. Their grievances might be genuine but their approach is disruptive, he said. Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi has led a motion in Parliament seeking to have members of the salaries team sent home.

WAR ON AIDS
Scientists have uncovered a potential functional remedy against the HIV virus
COVER STORY
little more than 30 years ago, when the scope of the HIV/Aids pandemic became public knowledge, an understandable mood of despair settled on the medical community and general public. The disease was considered deadly and seemingly immune to treatments available at the time, but today there is reason for optimism. In mid 2010, a little girl was born to a woman somewhere in Mississippi in the US. The mother had no pre-natal care and, thus, did not know that she was infected with HIV. A routine test showed she was. Sadly, so was her newborn. The doctors transferred the baby to University of Mississippi Medical Center and put her on three antiviral drugs (AZT, 3TC, and Nevirapine) at higher-than-usual dosages, beginning only 30 hours after birth. That swift and strong remedy killed the virus before it could create hideouts or niches in the childs immune system. Months later, doctors announced that even though her blood showed traces of HIV, the virus was not able to replicate or invade other cells. Medics then declared the child functionally cured , meaning the virus was in long-term remission.
fyi
That, however, was not the only cure announced. In 2007, Timothy Ray Brown, popularly known as the Berlin Patient , became the rst man on record to have been cured of HIV, triggering a urry of medical trials across the world as researchers believed the therapy could be replicated or modied to treat other patients. Browns story is arguably one of the most followed in the realm of HIV research. Nearer home, a similar trial is being conducted by Dr Simon Barasa Situma of the Technical University of Kenya, formerly Kenya Polytechnic. Dr Barasa has modied the worlds rst recorded HIV cure and says it has worked eectively on four of his patients and that another 18 currently under observation are doing well . Consecutive tests show they carry no virus, but we have to monitor them for at least six to 12 months to be sure they are free of HIV, explained Dr Barasa, a practising pharmacist, during a presentation last week at TMs Second World Virology and Microbiology Conference in New York.
Kenya has exempted people living with HIV from the usual cost-sharing requirements for antiretroviral therapy and treatment for tuberculosis.
I have demonstrated the HIV cure in two people by stopping rapid multiplication of CD4 progenitor cells in the bone marrow, where the HIV virus hides (to avoid) elimination by the immune system and thus achieved the rst complete cure without bone marrow transplantation, Dr Barasa said. His treatment, he says, is based on the worlds rst known cure of HIV, that of Timothy Ray Brown, 47, who was diagnosed with HIV in 1995 and put on ARVs, but in 2006 developed leukaemia (blood cancer) and, for this reason, was given a bone marrow transplant with a rare gene mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV. His doctor, Gero Hutter, said this resistance seemed to have been transferred to Brown, but Dr Barasa says this was not the case, arguing that the removal of Browns bone marrow did it. Removing the bone marrow, where the CD4 cells replicate, denied the virus the capacity to replicate and consequently the patient was free of HIV, says Dr Barasa. Since the new bone marrow was resistant to the virus, the already existing bugs in circulation and from the secondary reservoirs which include the brain, glands, intestines, and skin could not create new hideouts, hence the ultimate eradication of the virus. Bone marrow transplantation is a very expensive, specic, and dangerous procedure, which makes

Timothy Ray Brown, better known as the Berlin Patient, is the only human being proven to have been cured of HIV.
Browns treatment impossible to apply to the more than 30 million people with HIV. However, according to Dr Barasa, purging the virus from some specic locations where it seems to hide is the way out. Medical doctors using antiretrovirals are able to bring down a patients viral load to undetectable levels, but once the patient stops the medication,
the viral load goes up again. This means there is a reservoir in the body where the virus is hiding and where the ARVs are not able to reach. The hideout is in some parts of the bone marrow. Get rid of this reservoir and, theoretically, you are home and dry, Dr Barasa says, adding that he has achieved this using a method that comprises the use of a cancer drug

A CLOUD OF PESSIMISM
What to make of all the recent cured of Aids headlines? An American in Berlin, a baby in Mississippi, and 14 patients in France are all alive without treatment. Is a cure at hand? No. But in unusual cases, some people seem able, with temporary help from antiretroviral drugs, to kill the virus before it can sink into reservoirs deep in their bodies or to at least force it to stand at the doorways of their cells, unable to get in. Im excited about this, said Dr Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Not that weve got a cure, but things are falling into place that tell us what goes into the process of infection. So were learning whom we can potentially take o treatment. Does that mean doctors should now encourage HIV patients to stop treatment? Absolutely not, experts agree. There is no way to tell which patient might get lucky, and a vast majority will not. And drug holidays, which were in vogue a few years ago among patients tired of side effects, worked out badly when they were tested in clinical trials. But several experts say the reported cures if conrmed by others do suggest that some Aids policies should change in at least two ways. First, instead of waiting for the infected to wander into testing clinics, health authorities ought to be aggressively seeking them out. Second, those who test positive ought not to dither about taking medication. Early treatment now has three clear benets for patients: They may live longer, may be 96 per cent less likely to infect anyone else, and may turn out to be among the lucky few who can stop later. We should seek out, test, and get people into treatment as soon as we possibly can, Fauci said. That way, you can get people into the position the Visconti cohort is in. (Visconti cohort, for Viro-Immunologic Sustained Control After Treatment Interruption, is a shorthand way of referring to the patients studied by the Pasteur Institute, in France.) The virus march into the body now looks less unstoppable. HIV does not just hide behind cell walls, as u viruses do. It splices a copy of itself right into the genes of certain white blood cells, adding permanent new rungs to each cells DNA ladder. Later, it does the same to cells in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, nerves, and organs. Scientists now can biopsy various cells and force them to spit out some viral RNA, proving that they are infected. Were getting better at dening the reservoirs, said Jerome Zack, an immunologist at the David Geen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. But there are still arguments among scientists about whether there are places deep in the tissues that treatment doesnt reach, and whether or not the virus is still replicating there. The Berlin patient, Timothy Ray Brown, is in his own category. A Seattle native formerly living in Germany, he had been on drugs for 11 years when he developed leukaemia, a blood cancer. That led to the procedure that earned him a place in medical history: In 2006, his German doctors wiped out his bone marrow and gave him marrow from a matching donor who also had the rare delta 32 mutation that makes CD4 cells, the virus favourite target, impervious to HIV. Two weeks ago, doctors at the University of Minnesota performed the same procedure on an unnamed 12-year-old boy with both HIV and leukaemia, using umbilical cord blood from a newborn with the same mutation. It will be months before they know whether it worked. Brown, 47, may still have a hidden viral reservoir, but apparently it cannot infect his blood cells. In an interview from Las Vegas, where he now lives, he said he was very excited by the news of the baby in Mississippi and the French patients. I felt kind of lonely being the only person in the world cured, he said. But typical patients cannot follow his lead. Wiping out bone marrow normally carries a 40 per cent risk of death, and Brown had to have it done twice. His doctor later told him that he thought he had a 95 per cent chance of dying the second time. By contrast, the Mississippi baby was put on full antiretroviral treatment rather than just a typical lower-dose prophylactic regimen, just 30 hours after it was born about three years ago, and stayed on it for 18 months before the mother, for her own reasons, stopped it for ve months. At the next doctors appointment, the baby astonishingly appeared cured. In follow-up research, no matter which cells Dr Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Childrens Center tested, she could not nd any viral RNA. All she found, she said, were graveyard sequences of nonworking DNA, presumably remnants of the initial infection. (The child is still apparently healthy.) Some scientists remained sceptical, saying that the baby might have a reservoir in cells so deep in the body that they could be tested only in an autopsy. In the US, it is unusual for an infected pregnant woman to not see a doctor even once before delivery. But in Africa, the problem is common. If the Mississippi babys experience is repeated probably by chance, because it would be unethical for a doctor to advise a mother to take her infected child o antiretrovirals it may become routine for babies in such circumstances to get an aggressive drug regimen, not just the prophylactic one. By contrast, the French patients went on treatment within weeks or months after infection and stayed on for a year or more. Later, some but only about 15 per cent of them were able to stop their drugs. (NYT)
Undetectable loads
Antiretroviral therapy was rst introduced through the private sector in the late 1990s but only became widely available through the private sector beginning in 20032004. Declines in the price of antiretroviral drugs, abetted in part by generic competition, have enabled the country to progressively increase coverage of antiretroviral treatment.

(methotraxate) in combination with other agents. Two patients who have undergone the therapy, Dr Barasa adds, have shown no signs of the virus for the past six months. Methotrexate is used to treat cancer but is indicated to have very serious side eects and should not be used without advice from a competent physician. Although the drug is available in local pharmacies on prescription, it must never be used without clear instruction from your doctors, says Dr Barasa. The lecturer has since applied for a patent with the Kenya Industrial Property Institute for the treatment process, titled Cure for HIV/Aids Virus. Our methodology is simple, safe, acceptable, and cheap, although not yet scientically validated, says Dr Barasa in his case study. Even though we could not verify the claims, Dr Barasa says two patients, a man aged 29 and a woman aged 40, both of whom had previously been diagnosed with HIV and put on antiretroviral medication,
They have remained with undetectable levels of viral loads six months after the procedure, says Dr Barasa who, on the road to this treatment together with his colleagues, regularly sought advice from both Mr Brown and his doctor through email exchanges. In one such communication they wrote to the cured patient: We are working diligently here in Kenya to see if we can achieve the same status as you did by interfering with the bone marrow, which is the critical reservoir for the virus. Dr Isaac Orina, a neuroscientist and chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Technical University of Kenya, says it is too early to celebrate victory since the HIV/Aids war is far from over . The disease is still a signicant health threat in the world, says Dr Orina, but whether its going to be a complete cure for HIV or not, the fact remains that functional cure has a huge potential in eradicating the pandemic. A lot of research is, however, needed, and we are closely following Dr Barasas work. We hope the university will work with him once the preliminary ndings are scientically validated. Dr Orina says what Dr Barasa and other doctors around the world are doing is very interesting and can be an important step towards getting rid of the HIV virus. The only thing that we need is government support. Most scientists here lack funds to conduct research on such essential health issues, he concludes. As he waits for funds, Dr Barasa is holed up in his laboratory, shaking the tree of science.

MAKE ORGAN DONATION A MUST
A friend of mine has to regularly drive her ailing father to a local hospital for dialysis. Her father suered kidney failure and has been in need of one for a while now. The fees for dialysis are exorbitant and the whole process is emotionally draining. As I was speaking to her about her ordeal, I had a brilliant idea concerning the predicament. It seemed to me to be blue-sky, bold, and fresh: A law that would make all dead bodies automatically the property of the state in order to make organ harvesting possible. If people refuse to hand over their organs to save the living, the state should intervene. It is not only organ harvesting that would benet from such a law, but also teaching medicine. Friends studying medicine at the University of Nairobi have complained about the quality of human cadavers they use. One cadaver had multiple bullet wounds and was nicknamed 50 Cent, after the American rapper who was shot nine times. Another body, I was told, had clearly been stabbed. Donating
THE WAG
bodies that did not meet so grisly an end would provide better physical specimen and aid in the teaching of medicine. In fact, a while back there was a shortage of bodies for teaching and those available were the unclaimed from mortuaries. Why should all those good kidneys be buried with the dead when the living are in need of them? Kidney transplants are rare and expensive and there is a shortage of the organ. The main hindrance to achieving this goal is, of course, religion and taboo. The government sometimes ought to drag a people upward and do what is best for them despite their complaints. Your rights of autonomy over your body cease when you die and, unless foul play is suspected, you really should seek to have your body better those you leave behind. It is noble, kind, and the greatest act of altruism imaginable. If you can donate blood, why not go the whole hog and donate organs? Spain has a system of assumed consent where adults are required to opt out of organ
donation while still alive. We already have a country doing it and should, therefore, simply follow their lead. I obviously will donate my remains to science if they will have what is left of me. You should too. We all should.

ccording to the Transport permanent secretary, the government will review traffic laws and impose cashless payment on commuters by requiring them to use a card. They claim this method will help investors save the money lost to rogue drivers and their conductors. It will also reduce corruption on the roads since drivers will no longer have money to bribe policemen. This bold statement was delivered at the launch of Bebapay, a cashless solution partnership between Equity Bank and Google. Is inefficiency in the private transport industrys revenue collection system really the governments problem? I had not heard the government complain much about it. It seems the government has discovered how essential it was to solve this revenue problem when companies came up with the Beba card. Is this problem really worth the governments time or is it simply a chance to showcase available technology by private companies?
It did come, after all, after Google showcased its product and a few advertorials in the business pages of how this product will revolutionise payments. Obviously, companies behind this initiative want to make money while seeking more data about us. Making it a requirement to only use cards to access transport system seems like a footnote from Orwells dystopian novel, 1984. It makes it easy for the government to collect vast amounts of data concerning citizens and their movements. Computer algorithms will then mine the data, detrend it, crunch it, and use every

The data will seek patterns and conditions to boost advertising and make it easier to oer dynamic or rather more discriminatory prices. It would be idiotic for companies with search history, social media preferences, and details on bank accounts not to use the data to make prots. So if, for example, the vending machine can tell that you are more auent, it charges you more for the same product.

of one such top-up card I used recently was Sh200, which required you to commit to using the company for at least several trips. Also, one added requirement was that you open or at least link it with a Google Mail (gmail) account, which seems superuous until you recall that the company intends to market its products to you. The card makes you an easy target for advertisements. A rule enforcing the use of smartcards for transport would also favour large companies offering transport services since they already have large user bases and therefore have more data to work with. It will favour the coalescing of the market among a few big players and knock individual vehicle owners out. They will also nd it easier and cheaper to t in the technological infrastructure to service the system. Already, companies use data gleaned from you to know what services to oer you. For example, the Business Daily last year reported how Safaricom monitors how often you load airtime and how often you use data and money platforms to know how well you are a suitable candidate for their loans. This close monitoring of behaviour, coupled with personal details, is used to reduce risk of bad loans. The company could also track you down if you default, but often the numbers involved are rather small. What I worry about is a future where big companies decide to collude. They would know who has how much, what you like, and how much they can take you for. I do not have a supermarket card for loyalty and it is not because I am a Luddite. They seek to study your buying habits in order to better know how to shake you down better. They can also measure whether advertising campaigns are working and how better to get you to spend your money through your buying data. Also, I think the idea of a loyalty to a company is risible. This transport efficiency we are being oered could be used to Trojanhorse control and exploitation into the equation. The question you should ask is why the government would seek to devote time and money on a system that is already set up by private companies that seek to gain from it.

MOI NAMES TOP THREE FOR CHANCELLOR JOB
Philanthropist Vijoo Rattansi could become the rst competitively recruited chancellor of a public university. The chairperson of the Rattansi Educational Trust (RET), a family charity that contributes up to Sh12 million annually to sponsor the education of students from poor families, has been ranked rst in a recruitment to ll the position of chancellor of Moi University. The process led by the Moi University Alumni Association found Mrs Rattansi the best from an initial short-list of 44 qualied candidates. Mrs Rattansi has been ranked rst in the nal short-list of three candidates. Ranked second is former National Aids Control Council chairperson, Prof Miriam Were. The present chancellor, Prof Bethwel Ogot, is third. The three names will be forwarded to the Education Cabinet Secretary, who will then pass them to the President for appointment. Mrs Rattansi has shepherded the growth of RET for nearly 10 years since her husband, Hassanally Rattansi, passed on. The charity has been in existence for more than 55 years. Following a decision arrived at on April 5, the Moi University council sent two of its senior ocials on leave to allow a fresh recruitment of people to ll their oces. Those who proceeded on leave were acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (administration and nance), Prof James Sang and his student aairs counterpart Prof K. ole Karei. Vice-Chancellor Richard Mibey said the two had a chance to proceed on sabbatical leave if they so wished. They have both served at the university since its inception in 1984. Moi university has also scrapped the positions of chief administrative ocer and that of chief academic ocer along with their deputies. The decision is seen as a move to seal administrative loopholes following the discovery of a fraudulent attempt to withdraw money from the universitys bank account. Investigations are going on.
xperience and research from both industrialised and fastgrowing economies indicate that a good public policy is one that takes into account a practical problem, gives alternative policy options, has relevant outcomes, and is cost-eective. The one laptop-per-child project to be launched in public primary schools next year is not informed by policy analysis. It will have very little impact on the learning outcomes, leave alone instilling and nurturing scientific and technological minds in young Kenyans. This expensive project, based on a campaign promise, is misplaced for a number of reasons. First, it is not based on identied priority problems, gaps, and challenges currently facing basic education in Kenya. Second, it does not take into consideration alternative cost-eective polices that have the potential of improving basic literacy and of nurturing scientific and technological minds among young people. Third, it is not based on evidence that it will have a positive outcome. Thus, it could result in a waste of resources. In the past ve years, the onelaptop-per-child initiative has been piloted elsewhere in Africa and South America. In particular, Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, Peru, and Uruguay have tried it, but their initiatives have largely remained pilot projects. Emerging evaluation indicates mixed results on the impact of such gadgets on learning outcomes. Some studies indicate that there is no causal link between using notebooks and mastery or development of literacy and numeracy. The studies have not found marked dierences between children using the gadgets compared to those without them. If the implementation of similar projects in other African countries have failed to impress, what informs Kenyan leaders and policy makers that the initial cost of Sh25 billion for laptops to 700,000 children

joining Standard One next year will be a worthy investment? Implementing this project in Kenya will be made more complicated by a number of other realities, the rst being that a relevant curriculum content has not been developed and digitalised for use on laptops. Moreover, there are thousands of pupils who learn under trees or in poorly built or maintained structures that lack basic school facilities. They have no basic motivation to learn. What lessons have the Ministry of Education learned from the on-
going pilot project in Form Three and Four to test digital curriculum? What lessons has the ministry learnt from the pilot project on computers in some selected secondary schools in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu? Evidence from researchers and practitioners indicates that Kenyas education system faces whole system challenges. President Uhuru Kenyatta might want to rst deal with these.

SMART MOVES
A fashion designer is involved in creating fashions for the next generation, and that might be 10 years into the future Kenneth Ouko, fashion designer
of many clients, including schools, churches, and wedding organisers. He designs attire for drama festivals such as for schools and colleges, wedding gowns, and uniforms for churches and other organisations. Mr Oukos organisation oers basic design courses involving drawing, colour and composition, pattern-making, and decorating. The courses are offered in
modules. Each module takes a week. The entire course takes three months. As much as fashion design requires talent and creativity, it is also necessary to get business and marketing knowledge in the industry. For this reason, designers should keep themselves updated on the happenings in the fashion industry by regularly reading trade journals and other marketing products. The challenge for local designers, he says, is the importation of trendy and classy wears. Research shows that the inux of synthetic bre and the growing popularity of secondhand clothes pose the greatest
challenge to the revival of the cotton and textile industries in the country. The few that operate, according to Mr Ouko, produce low quality fabrics, thereby limiting the quality of the outts made from them. The result is not-so-good earnings. We hope that the county government will revive some of the big textile companies in the town to enable them to sustain demand for good fabrics, says Ouko. Presently, he and fellow fashion designers and tailors in the region have to order fabrics from other parts of the country, leading to expenses that they could avoid.

INSTITUTIONS
STUDYING ABROAD
lead to a good job? The top degree courses in terms of employability are physical sciences, mathematical sciences, historical and philosophical studies, languages, biological sciences, agriculture, law, degrees allied to health sciences, education, medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science. You may ask how degrees in historical and philosophical studies or languages will get you a job. It all comes down to supply and demand. As you can see, these are not popular degrees, so the few graduates would be in demand. The correlations between popularity and getting a job show that law, medicine, and health sciences will always be a safe bet. However, these degrees require high grades and someone with a very strong academic demeanour. Degrees that tend to record high unemployment rates include English studies, sociology, drama and theatre arts, liberal arts, studio arts, graphic design, philosophy and religious studies, lm and photography, ne arts, and anthropology. Most of these degrees are arts-based. In Western countries, they have an unemployment rate of more than 10 per cent. Chances are that the unemployment rate for these in Kenya would be higher.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are degrees around the world that would be considered pointless. Imagine going home and telling your parents that you wanted to enrol in a degree called David Beckham Studies, or Oprah Winfrey Studies? Or that you want to work with the paranormal and so you wish to enrol in a degree in parapsychology or a PhD in Ufology (study of UFOs). If you want to spend your time around the beach, then there are degrees in surf science and technology. A university in the US oers a degree in Star Trek. Education should be a liberating experience. It is all about a journey of
discovery and learning. While I have written about these unusual degrees, they should be taken tongue-in-cheek. I do not see a parent from Kenya spending millions to send a child abroad for such degrees. What a student needs to look for is a balance between what they like and what degrees lead to employment. Finding this balance can be dicult. Go out there and get work experience, talk to people in industry, and do your own research so that you can make an informed decision.

RELATIONSHIPS
RELATIONSHIPS
philip kitoto
Dear Mr. Kitoto, I am 35 and married to a 30-year-old woman for the past three years. We started dating while she was in college and I noticed that whenever she visited, she would not readily do household chores. I discussed this with her and she explained that she did not want to appear to be in competition with my nephew, who was living with me then. But even after marriage she did not change and the situation has degenerated to the extent that she sometimes forgets to make the bed before leaving for work. When I ask, she claims to have been in a hurry. Utensils can remain unwashed for several days. The same applies to house cleaning. Communication has failed between us because whenever I raise an issue, she either starts shouting or withdraws completely and refuses to talk to me, sometimes for two days. At one point, I suggested that we engage a part-time house help. She would fail to give clear directions to the house maid, only to make noise when things were not done to her satisfaction. That would be the order of things and each of the three women we tried left within two or so weeks. When I pointed out to her where I
thought the problem was, she accused me of siding with the house helps. She continued to communicate with former boyfriends and other men. She would insist that there was nothing between them and claim that I was being jealous and insecure. I found two text messages on her phone which conrmed my fears she has had an aair. She has not shown any regard for my family. She does not call my parents and siblings. Even when we go home and my parents give us produce to carry back to our place, she does not give a single cent as a sign of appreciation. One time I invited my mother to our house on short notice after a cousins wedding. My wife complained and insisted that she was too tired to cook for a visitor who was only passing by at night and would leave the following morning. Though I put my foot down on this, she showed displeasure openly and did not oer my mother anything when she was leaving the next day. In contrast, her family members can visit any time, stay for as long as they wish, and she gives them fare when they are leaving. I also give them assistance whenever necessary.
She has not bought any household item, not even for the kitchen. One time she suggested that I buy certain items and when I asked if she would contribute, the answer was that she was committed to paying school fees for her younger sister. She had never mentioned that before. Recently, we visited a gynaecologist to nd out why we had not managed to conceive. It turned out that she had carried out an abortion before we met. The doctor put her on medication and also recommended HIV tests. To my surprise she tested positive while mine was negative. We have repeated the tests in different facilities and there is no doubt that we are a discordant couple. My attempts at revisiting the issue of indelity has brought more friction. I can go on and on but I believe you get the gist of my concern. My wife is lazy, does not take responsibility, is promiscuous, nagging, has no respect and regard for me, and seems to be stressed. We once discussed our dierences before an independent party, who emphasised the need to embrace communication in relationships. She has remained uncooperative I have avoided discussing the mat-
ter with family and friends because I want to make an independent decision. I am convinced that this is not what I bargained for. I think I should discontinue the relationship. Kindly advise whether these are genuine concerns or, as she puts it, am I being too petty? Concerned. Hi, There is denitely a problem in the way your wife is responding to the issue of house chores. I am almost tempted to think that it is a product of her upbringing, socialisation, and associations. You may need to revisit the kind of environment she grew up in. Are these the kind of duties she saw women do or is she from an environment where it was every person for themselves? There are many forums through which women and men learn about there duties. Home, school, culture, and many other available associations provide the opportunity to learn how a boy becomes a man and so on. I am, therefore, surprised that she would abandon such responsibilities. Did she not grow up in a home somewhere with parents who understood their roles or a com-

MY FIANCE USED ME
WHO IS MY FATHER?
Dear Kitoto, My mother gave birth to me while she was still in school. She left me under the care of my grandparents to complete school. Unfortunately, she died when I was four years old before telling me who my father was. After a number of years, I wanted to know my identity, so I asked my grandmother but she refused to tell me until I was in Form Two. But the only information she gave me was his ethnicity and name. She said there was no need to know him. I felt angry. I really want to know him, whether or not he is alive. My question is; how should I start looking for him? Is there a procedure? Disturbed girl Hi, Losing your mother at such a tender age is challenging. You denitely have missed the care and nurturing of your mother. In addition, your father was never been in your picture. This, with time, has aggravated your feelings. Losing people close to you is not only tough but painful. It leaves a wound that aches more with every passing year. I guess you owe your grandparents some appreciation for all that they have done for you over the years. Pain can make us forget the small but signicant help. Remember, they are the ones who have been with you even when your mother could not aord to take care of you. Why does she not want to tell you where you father is? First, you have to realise that she may genuinely not know who he is. Trying to force this from her may be futile. Maybe all she knows is what she has passed to you. Second, she could know who your father is and either fears losing you or you could end up being hurt more. Therefore, her actions may be a way to protect you from the unknown. Finally, if your grandparents insist that they do not know who your father is, I advise you to move on and not let this matter stress you. You have great grandparents that have loved you and brought you this far. Hang on to what you know and have. As far as the future is concerned, it may just be that your father, if found, may not add value to who you will become. Remember, he abandoned you at a most vulnerable moment. Whatever the case, if by prayer and Gods miracle you get to meet him, this may be the opportunity to express your feelings. In the meantime, deal with the deep feelings that frustrate you concerning the loss of your mother and the fact that your father abandoned you. Your healing will be crucial to developing a healthy outlook to life with or without your father.
Dear Kitoto, I have been in a relationship for ve years with my ance. She is three years older than me. I have never been unfaithful and have always been there for her. Early last year, when she was about to complete college, she got pregnant. Though it was not our plan, I tried all I could to provide for her and the child. When her college results came out and she had not performed well, her attitude towards me changed. She started saying that she needed time alone and that she was not ready to be a wife. A few days later, she started saying that only the truth would set her free. I had no idea what that meant. I later received a strange text from her. It said she had dedicated her life to someone when we rst met and that she used the mans money to be happy with me. The text also said that the man knew about our relationship but that was not enough reason to throw him out of her life. She added that she shared her problems with him and that he was always there for her. She ended by saying that although it hurt, we both beneted. I am now worried that the child might not even be mine despite my name appearing on the birth notication. I am now confused. I have very bad thoughts about her
and I want her out of my life. I never thought that I would ever leave her, but it seems to me to be an option worth considering. Please advise. Dennis Hi, Letters can sometimes be impersonal, so I am trying hard to understand your dilemma. It looks as if your girlfriend knew what she was doing all along. If indeed she loved you, which I really doubt, how could she become so indierent towards you? On the other hand, I see a lot of immaturity and lack of honesty in the way the two of you have handled your relationship. I suggest that you reconsider why you are in this relationship. Blame alone will not help. A clear evaluation of the reasons that have made you pursue this relationship will help you know whether you missed your path or not. As far as she is concerned, she really does not seem to have been committed fully to the relationship. But as far as the child is concerned, your doubts can only be removed or settled in two ways: First, by a true confession from her. But, I do not know if one can trust this. Second, by a professional medical practitioner who can perform a DNA test to ascertain who the father is.
My anc and I are both okay with the age dierence. He studied up to Form Four and works as a driver while I, coming from a wello family, was able to study to university level. I earn more than him. My parents were also not too happy about this and my mother told my sister that I had lowered my class. I have not told my anc any of this. I was well received at his home and he wanted the marriage negotiations to continue. I am planning to put them on hold for a while. We both love and respect each other and we are okay with who we are but my parents opinion has left me disturbed. What is your advice on age, education, and social status? MW Hi, It is clear from your note that
rst, you love this man although he is younger than you. Second, your decision to put on hold the negotiations is based on the perspective your parents have of your man. Personally, I do not see any problem in a persons age, how much the person earns, or even where he comes from. Basic to any relationship is love. How well do I know the person I am making a choice to love? If you are convinced that his age and nancial status is not a problem, then you should let this guide your future decisions. I think you are trying to please your family in the whole thing. My suggestion is that once you know why you are defending him, it will give you the reason and muchneeded condence in moving forward. Therefore, list down why you feel the strong need to marry this man.
Evaluate your reasons for wanting to marry him against the conicting voices. It will then be clear to you what to do. At the end of the day, whether your parents approve of the marriage or not, it is you who will live with the man, not them.
that you respect her decision. However, depending on what caused the separation and how long it has been since the two of you have been apart, you could revisit ways of reconciling. If the relationship ended due to irreconcilable dierences, then I suggest that you leave her alone and let her move on with her life. As for you, this is not the end of the world. There are many lovely women around. But before you open up your life to someone else, seek healing from your previous relationship. Review the issues that caused the break-up of a 12-year-relationship. What did you not do right and how can you improve so that you can be a better person in the future? There have to be lessons you have learned from this break-up that will help you relate better in any other relationship you may have.

and fresh outside. Wangui could smell the sweet scent of various owers, freshly cut grass, newly dug earth and a faint smell of droppings from the animals pen. She could also hear the distant sound of a tractor where their neighbour was already busy in his shamba. Inside the house behind her, she could hear her mothers voice and her fathers sleepy replies. He was not yet ready, but would have to get up soon as he had to cycle to school in good time for his rst class of the day. Her father was one of the teachers left in the school to provide extra tuition to Standard Eight pupils. Her older sister, Wanjiku, would stay behind to look after the house and cook for her father until Wangui and her mother returned from Nairobi. At last they were ready and as they walked down towards the main road to the bus stop, Wangui walked proudly next to her mother. She felt very happy, for she knew she looked pretty in her new dress and shoes; she thought her mother looked pretty, too, as she also wore a new dress. Wangui carried a kiondo with some spare clothing for her mother and herselfthe visit was only for three days so they would not need much clothing.
