T
he families of the four
children who were killed
by a hyena on Tuesday
night in Tana River County will
be paid Sh20 million, the KWS
said yesterday.
Speaking at the Hola District
Hospital in Galole Constitu-
ency after visiting the parents
who survived the attack, Mr
William Kiprono, the director
of the Kenya Wildlife Service,
said the two families from
Kalalani Village will be paid
at least Sh20 million in ac-
cordance with the law.
According to the Wildlife Act,
which was passed this year, the
maximum compensation for a
death caused by a wild animal
is Sh5 million.
However, relatives will have
to ll in and submit the com-
pensaton forms after which a
team will be selected to hear
the case and determine the
amount to be paid. The law
is clear on compensation for a
family that loses a relative in
a wildlife attack just like it is
stern on poachers, he said.
A team of rangers was also
dispatched to the area to hunt
down the killer hyena.
After the
shocking news
reached my office,
I had to travel to this
place and mourn with the
people of Tana River for the
loss of the four children, Mr
Kiprono, reacting to the report
published in the Daily Nation,
said yesterday.
Mr Kiprono also ew to Hola
Town in the company of local
MP Hassan Dukicha to pay his
respects to the minors at their
graves.
According to Mr Dukicha,
fear had engulfed Wayu Ward
villagers where the hyena
had struck twice. He said the
second attack, which left two
women nursing serious wounds
on their hands and legs, had
caused panic.
Deputy County Com-
missioner Joseph Tangusi
arranged for the childrens
bodies to be transported to
the Garissa General Hospital
for conrmation that they had
been killed by a wild animal,
before they were buried.

All cases have been put

Opposition says to
Jubilee: Youve failed
to deliver promises
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
ODM has accused the Jubi-
lee Government of failing to
honour its election promises,
abetting corruption and divid-
ing Kenyans.
In its scorecard on the gov-
ernments performance in the
past year, which was released
yesterday, the Orange party
says the ruling coalition has
failed Kenyans.
The scorecard, The Lies that
Jubilee Tells, notes that Presi-
dent Kenyattas government
has not fullled its ambitious
laptops-for-pupils project and
says it is not as digital as it
promised to be.
Divide and rule
The scorecard also says that
the free maternity care for
expecting mothers is grossly
underfunded , while Kenyans
now live in perpetual fear due
to insecurity.
Divisive politics and the
politics of exclusion con-
tinue to divide our people,
with Jubilee leaders as the
chief architects of the divide
and rule politics, says the
report.
Releasing the document,
ODM acting Party Leader
Anyang Nyongo (above)
said Kenya had become more
isolated from the international
community of nations.
Our development partners
have been humiliated by a
stance in international rela-
tions laced with arrogance and
nationalistic jingoism, which
brings with it self-inflicted
wounds and missed oppor-
tunities in development in
Kenyas global interests,
Prof Nyongo said .
He warned that Jubilees
politics of isolation would
soon begin hurting Kenyans
directly, particularly in the
health, education and water
services sectors.
Development partners who
have worked with us in these
sectors are pulling out due to
lack of positive engagement
by the Jubilee leaders.
ODM believes in construc-
tive engagement with all our
development partners rather
than the isolationist diplo-
macy of Jubilee.
Radical reform
He further said the ruling
coalition had failed to initi-
ate a radical reform of the
Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission de-
spite being aware of its failures
in the last polls.
Instead, it is now engaged
in manoeuvres to engage the
discredited personnel in that
elections body for the further
rigging of future elections, he
said.
Experts set to meet
on use of pesticides
BY NATION REPORTER
Agriculture experts are set
to meet in Nairobi today to
discuss a new policy on use
of pesticides in the region.
This follows reports that
most arable land in the country
has become fallow due to toxic
soils as a result of excessive use
of pesticides and fertiliser.
In most Kenyan farms, you
will not get a decent harvest
unless you use pesticides and
this has become a problem,
especially for farmers looking
for the export market because
of the strict regulations by
the European Union and the
United States with regards to
chemical content in produce,
Dr Allan Liavoga, programme
manager at Bio-Innovate,
which organised the two-day
forum, said.
Dr Liavoga said most
pesticides contain chemicals
that destroy soils and remain
in the plant even after harvest,
exposing many people to health
hazards.
Bio-Innovate is advocat-
ing for chemical-free mode of
reducing pests. Our varieties
include pesticides that are
chemical-free and biodegrad-
able, he said yesterday.
The meeting will propose
policy and regulatory changes
to promote the use of bio-pes-
ticides in the region.
At the same time, Dr Liavoga
asked Kenyans to take up sor-
ghum, millet, beans, cassava
and sweet potatoes as staple
foods given the dwindling
maize harvests over the years.
He said these crops were hardy
and would do well in many
parts of the country.

samples from the house
of an MP who collapsed
in his Runda home and died.
Scene of crime ocers arrived
at the residence of Gatundu
South MP Joseph Ngugi Nyumu
and took food and stool samples
for analysis in order to remove
any doubts over his sudden
death suspected to have been
caused by a heart attack.
Gigiri police officer Vitalis
Otieno who was at the scene
with a group of detectives said
any sudden death must be in-
vestigated by police.
He added: We must do the
needful... and we hope to com-
plete our work soon.
Although other MPs who had
visited the homestead located at
Mimosa Annex o Mimosa Close
to condole with the family said
the MP could have died of car-
diac arrest, the OCPD said only
investigations could reveal the
real cause of death.
Burial preparations
Mr Nyumu, 41, who was a
rst-term MP collapsed while in
the bathroom around 6am and
was taken to a Nairobi Hospital
branch near Unep.
The father of two popularly
known as Jossy by friends and
constituents was dead on ar-
rival and his body later taken to
the Lee Funeral Home, where
a postmortem examination is
expected to be done.
Lawmakers, friends and rela-
tives were yesterday streaming
into the MPs home, where burial
preparations are in progress.
Finer details of the MPs last
moments were scanty from rela-
tives overcome with grief.
The MPs mother, Ms Ruth
Wangari, had to be helped to
view the body at the home. She
wept bitterly as other relatives
fainted on seeing the body.
Gatanga MP Humphrey
Kimani Njuguna, who was ap-
pointed spokesman on behalf of
MPs and the family, said that Mr
Nyumu had been in high spirits
and good health the day before
his death.
His death is shocking to

home.

BY NATION REPORTER
Some family members
of those who were alleg-
edly killed and secretly
buried by suspected
Mungiki gangs are relocat-
ing to other towns out of
fear that they too could
be targeted next.
Nation has established
that the families have
reported to police about
their missing relatives and
have since left Kitengela
to avoid the wrath of the
Mungiki sect members.
They include two
women who had reported
that their husbands were
missing. The women have
since relocated elsewhere
fearing for their lives.
The new develop-
ment comes as police
in Kitengela on Tuesday
evening arrested five
people who were alleg-
edly planning to kidnap
Mr Lawrence Thiongo
Kagicha, a former associ-
ate of Mr Maina Njenga.
Mr Njenga is a former
leader of Mungiki, which
has been linked to the
killing and secret burial of
seven people in a quarry
in Athi River.

Titus Kilonzo chaired a
high-profile meeting of
investigators, who were
discussing ways of smok-
ing out Mungiki members
from Kitengela.
However, he acknowl-
edged it was dicult to
identify sect members as
most of them do genuine
businesses like boda boda
and operate matatu.
We are, however, moni-
toring those we suspect
to be members and will
smoke them out. They will
denitely not succeed in
Kajiado as this is a place
of peace and that is how
it will remain, Mr Kilonzo

Powerful roles
give minister
high visibility
Because she has had to play a
high-prole role in most of the
agship projects paraded by Presi-
dent Kenyattas administration,
Devolution and Planning Cabinet
Secretary Anne Waiguru has been
permanently in the limelight.
She was at the centre during
the launch of the Uwezo Fund, the
Huduma Centre and the national
dialogue on the wage bill.
A strong personality who talks
straight, she has the reputation of
a boss who does not suer fools
gladly and is quick to display impa-
tience with sloppy ocers.
Within the civil service, unsub-
stantiated claims abound of ocers
who were transferred after they
rubbed her the wrong way.
Her story is a compelling study on
the impact of personality on a pow-
erful oce.
Although the Public Service
Commission and the Salaries Re-
view Commission are independent
institutions, they report to her,
especially when it comes to imple-
mentation of decisions.
Among her peers, she is more or
less a rst among equals because of
wielding power over decisions like
hiring and posting sta, which cut
across the whole public sector.
As minister in charge of
devolution, she co-chairs the Inter-
Government Council that brings
together governors and Cabinet
Secretaries and the Transitional
Authority.
Indeed, Ms Waiguru is in
charge of a docket that combines
big departments that used to be
fully-edged ministries with large
budgets, including Planning and
National Development, Local Gov-
ernment, Public Service, Special
Programmes, Youth Aairs, North-
ern Kenya and Gender.

evolution Cabinet Secretary
Anne Waiguru yesterday
fought back against eorts
by Members of Parliament to im-
peach her when the House resumes
next month.
She said she was prepared to an-
swer any questions on the procedure
she used to transfer National Youth
Service Director General Kiplimo
Rugut.
I have complied with the provision
in the law on allocation of duties and
if anyone calls me to answer questions
on how Mr Rugut was transferred, I
am willing to clarify and answer any
questions, she said.
She was speaking at the national
stakeholders forum of the Commis-
sion on the Status of Women, where a
hundreds of women had gathered.
Ms Waiguru said Mr Rugut and his
deputy were transferred in a restruc-
turing programme for ministries.
We used the central posting units
and Mr Rugut was among other 11
civil servants who were transferred.
If my ministry was wrong then in its
posting, so were the other ministries,
she said.
But Members of Parliament
accuse her of failing to respect,
uphold, defend and obey the con-
stitution regarding fair hearing in
the removal of public ocers from
oce, citing removal of Mr Rugut
and former Youth Fund chairman
Gor Semelango.
Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi,
who is from President Kenyattas
TNA party but enjoys close rela-
tions with and Deputy President
Willian Rutos URP, has drafted the
Motion and is leading the impeach-
ment eort.
According to Nandi Hills MP
Alfred Keter, URP and TNA politi-
cians were united in their push for
her impeachment.
We already have the numbers.
We only need a third of the MPs.
We are working with our colleagues
from Central to ensure we succeed,
Mr Keter yesterday said.
Mr Ruguts transfer, nominally
a promotion to Youth secretary in
the Ministry of Youth Aairs, was
contained in a circular issued by the
Presidents Chief of Sta and Head of
Public Service, Mr Joseph Kinyua.
However, it appears that not all
MPs from the Rift Valley were on
board, with some saying they were
yet to make their minds and they
would like to see what the impeach-
ment is about before deciding which
way to go.
Kuresoi North MP Zakayo Cherui-
yot said he was yet to get a brief from
the drafters. He said he was not going
to declare his position until he gets
full information.
Im yet to make up my mind. If
the impeachment is about politics, I
will not support it, he said.
Meanwhile, women MPs rallied
their support behind Ms Waiguru,
saying, it was within her mandate
to transfer the NYS boss.
The MPs, among them Kenya
Women Parliamentarians Association
chairperson Cecily Mbarire said re-
cent accusations against the CS were
eorts to bring down women leader.
She said women Cabinet Secretaries
are under siege.

I did nothing
to warrant
this: Waiguru
BY MACHARIA GAITHO
Ms Anne Waiguru expresses
consternation that members of
the National Assembly want her
sacked as Cabinet Secretary for
Devolution and Planning.
She did nothing illegal or out of
procedure to warrant an impeach-
ment motion, she insists.
What started as a grouse by Rift
Valley MPs in the ruling coalition
over the removal of Mr Kiplimo
Rugut as director of the National
Youth Service, has snowballed
into a major impeachment move
attracting MPs from across the
board.
Asked why the move to kick her
out had gained such traction, Ms
Waiguru appears nonplussed, say-
ing the question would better be
directed to her detractors.
In a conversation at her Hara-
mbee House oce yesterday, Ms
Waiguru was non-committal and
tight-lipped on most queries insist-
ing that she is not a politician, just
a public servant doing her job.
But clearly, the transfer of Mr
Rugut from NYS in her ministry
to the vacant oce of Secretary of
Sports in the Ministry of Sports,
Culture and Arts has placed her
rmly in the line of re.
Although Mr Rugut is a career
civil servant, URP politicians in-
sisted that the removal was another
example of President Kenyattas
Kikuyu beneting at the expense of
Mr Rutos Kalenjin in the coalition
government.
Nandi Hills MP Afred Keter and
a grouping of MPs have taken many
opportunities to raise such issues,
often challenging Mr Ruto to stand
up for his half of the coalition.
Mr Ruguts removal therefore
provided them with another op-
portunity to take up the cudgels.
It is not clear how the matter es-
calated to a push enthusiastically
fronted by MPs from President
Kenyattas central Kenya wing of
the coalition.
On Monday, the MPs called a
Press conference at Parliament
to build their case against Ms
Waiguru. They escalated the mat-
ter beyond Mr Rugut to demand
renegotiation of the TNA-URP
power-sharing agreement, and
even went to the extent of volun-
teering to raise funds and refund
any money one of their own might
have received as the price for sup-
porting Mr Kenyattas presidential
candidacy.
Clearly, matters had grown in
scope from the sectional com-
plaint to a wider oensive that
seems grounded not just in the
Rugut issue but deeper animosity
against Ms Waiguru from within
the Jubilee coalition.
However, the manoeuvres fail to
capture the fact that Mr Rugut was
not red, but transferred within the
government. An even more salient
point is that on paper, the transfer
was eected not by Ms Waiguru,
but by President Kenyattas Chief
of Sta and Head of Public Service,
Mr Joseph Kinyua.
On whether she has become too
powerful, Ms Waiguru pleads that
she is no more powerful than other
Cabinet secretaries.
There is no denying that key
departments under her watch
make her very visible.
Registrar gets less cash
to give political parties
BY NATION REPORTER
Cash allocated to fund
political party activities is
not enough, the Registrar of
Political Parties has said.
The registrar said the
extra Sh120 million allo-
cated to political parties
for the coming financial
year was too little.
The Registrar of Political
Parties, Ms Lucy Ndungu
(below), said that her oce
requested for Sh3.3 billion,
but the Treasury gave them
Sh467 million.
The political parties
will share Sh360.1 million
leaving the registrars oce
with Sh106.9 million to run
its activities.
Only three main political
parties currently qualify for
the cash95 per cent of the
money is issued based on
the total number of votes
secured by each political
party in the preceding
elections.
The National Alliance
party will get 43.3 per cent
of the total cash allocated
to political parties while
ODM will get 38.05 per
cent with URP getting 13.7
per cent.
In the ending scal year,
where the parties got Sh205
million, URP claimed a
share of the funds given to
TNA as part of its contribu-
tion to the Presidential vote
in the last elections.
Funds shared
TNA gave Sh8 million
to URP after the Deputy
Presidents party claimed
its share of the cash for
contributing to President
Kenyattas win in last years
General Election.
In a presentation to the
parliamentary commit-
tee on Justice and Legal
aairs, Ms Ndungu said
that her oce had many
responsibilities and the
funds allocated were not
enough.
The under-funding will
aect the implementation
of all the oces planned
activities and also the politi-
cal parties fund, a breach of
Section 24 of the Political
Parties Act.
Ms Ndungu appealed for
additional funds to ensure
professional management
of the political parties.

T
he two Anglo Leasing com-
panies were paid Sh1.4 billion
without the Presidents written,
signed and sealed directive as required
by the Constitution.
National Treasury Principal Secre-
tary Kamau Thugge told the Public
Accounts Committee that the directive
was yet to be delivered to his oce.
Dr Thugge also revealed that the
payment to First Mercantile Securities
Corporation and Universal Satspace
was made on Monday, when he asked
the Central Bank to wire the money
to an account at Natwest Bank in
London.
The account the money was wired
to is in the name of Travers Smith,
LLP, the law rm representing the
two companies he conrmed were
both owned by businessman Anura
Perrera.
We got communication from the
President, said Dr Thugge, and what
I have committed to is getting that
document (the written directive) from
State House and to table it here. Its
in State House.
Asked whether he had seen the
document, Dr Thugge said: I re-
quested to have it. I was assured it
was there. I didnt have it, but I was
told that it was there.
Dr Thugge showed the committee a
printout of an email from State House
spokesman Manoah Esipisu transmit-
ting the Presidents directive to the
Treasury, which he said was the basis
of his action.
He also said that the Controller
of Budget, Ms Agnes Odhiambo,
had given her approval for the with-
drawal of the money from the National
Treasurys account at the Central Bank
of Kenya.
But committee members ques-
tioned this, with chairman Ababu
Namwamba (Budalangi, ODM) and
Junet Mohammed (Suna East, ODM)
insisting that as per the Constitution,
the Presidents directives should be
in writing, with his signature and his
ocial seal.
They cited Article 135 of the Consti-
tution, which states that: A decision
of the President in the performance of
any function of the President under
this Constitution shall be in writing
and shall bear the seal and signature
of the President.
Manoah Esipisu is not the Presi-
dent. He can write emails even today if
he wants, but the only person who has
the mandate constitutionally to make
that kind of order is His Excellency
the President, nobody else, said Mr
Mohammed.
Criminal responsibility
When you look at criminal respon-
sibility for this, if you dont get that
proof, youre in for it, I can assure
you, he warned.
Mr Namwamba said given the
nature of the case, this was not just
any ordinary payment. It is not every
day that the President calls a Press
conference to announce that Treasury
is going to make a payment.
He told Dr Thugge: When the chips
fall, when the cookie crumbles, we
shall sit with you mundu-khu-mundu
(man to man), as I might say.
Mr Namwamba asked Dr Thugge
to submit to the committee within
24 hours, both the Presidents di-
rective and proof that payment had
been made.

Tycoon to
take plea in
fraud case
BY NATION REPORTER
The High Court has directed
that a Nairobi businessman be
charged with forgery in a long-
running family dispute over a
multi-million shilling business
empire.
Mr Mohan Galot was ordered
by Mr Justice Weldon Korir to
rst plead to the charges of
forgery, obtaining registra-
tion of directors by pretence,
false assumption of authority
and converting the properties
into his own use before his pe-
tition challenging the charges
could be concluded.
Criminal proceedings
Mr Galot shall plead to the
charges on a date agreed before
the trial magistrate court and
make the appropriate appli-
cation to be released on bail
before we proceed with his peti-
tion challenging the charges,
ruled Justice Korir.
He spared the businessman
the hustles of going through
the trial, ruling that the crimi-
nal proceedings would be put
on hold until his petition was
decided on.
Mr Galot and his wife, San-
tosh Galot, have been in a long
running dispute with his neph-
ews, Pravin Galot and Rajesh
Galot, over the ownership of
the multi-million-shilling Galot
Group of companies.
Representative Rose Mitaru and
Deputy Speaker Ibrahim Swaleh were
among those who were at the Milimani
Law Courts in Nairobi court when Mrs
Wangari presented her case.
According to her lawyer, Mr Charles
Njenga, Mrs Wangari fears that her
husband could have been subjected
to mental anguish and inhuman
conditions or injured and that his
continued holding has caused anxiety
and speculation in the Embu County
Assembly.
I am advised and have reasons to
believe that on May 19, my husband
disappeared in the hands of a police
ocer, but the respondents have to
the present date failed, neglected or
refused to produce him in court or
release him without any lawful cause,
she said.
She asked the court to summon Mr
David Kimaiyo and the Starehe CID
boss to conrm whether Mr Kariuki
was in police custody and to give an
explanation about his arrest.
However, High Court Judge Weldon
Korir declined to grant her request,
saying, she needs to give more infor-
mation linking the police directly to
Mr Kariukis disappearance.
I agree with your concerns, but the
court has not been given sucient
information to warrant the summon-
ing of the said top ocers. I direct
that you provide more information
linking the police and the arrest, the
judge said.
Mrs Wangari believes that her
husband was arrested on Monday
evening when he was last seen at
Nairobis Utalii Hotel within Starehe
division.
The case will be heard on May 23
by Mr Justice David Majanja.
Before Mrs Wangari and those who
had accompanied her made their way
to the courtroom, Ms Mbarire led the
group in prayers outside the court.
The Runyenjes MPs prayed that
the missing Speaker be found in good
health and for the bad happenings
that have plagued the Embu region
to end.
Earlier, Senator Kvuti said that it
was unfortunate that some members
of the public and FM stations had
started speculation over Mr Kariukis
disappearance.
Mr Kariuki was last seen at the
Utalii Hotel on Monday.

Ocials allege plan
to dissolve Kuppet
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Officials of a teachers
union have cried foul at the
proposal to merge with two
other groups.
The Kenya Union of Post
Primary Education Teachers
(Kuppet) officials told the
Press yesterday after walk-
ing out of a meeting with two
other unions that they had to
retreat to strategise on realis-
ing that the talks were aimed
at dissolving their union.
The meeting with Kenya
National Union of Teachers
and University Academic Sta
Union deliberated on having
one giant union for the teach-
ing fraternity.
We are seeking to unite all
teachers from the Early Cen-
tres of Education, primary,
secondary to the university
lecturers, to probably have
one union, said Prof Sammy
Kubasu (right), the chairman
of Uasu, who steered the
meeting.
But Kuppet alleged that
there were plans to have
their union dissolved. We
have marched out in protest
because we realise the other
unions are trying to undercut
us. They want a merger and
we want to be independent; a
merger will kill us completely,
said Mr Moses Nthurima,
Kuppets deputy secretary-
general.
The idea of a giant teach-
ers union was hatched when
Knut and Kuppet met with
the Education International
Organisation, a global teach-
ers union that advised them
they would be stronger repre-
senting teachers as one.
We have realised that
Education International is
working on the script of
Knut and Knut are trying
to kill Kuppet and continue
ourishing in teachers money
without representing them at
all, said Mr Nthurima.

We are seeking to
unite all teachers

A
Nakuru businessman
yesterday told a court
that he was never mar-
ried to a woman who wants
him barred from travelling
outside the country.
Mr Pravin Kumar Sankalda
Patel told the court that he
never entered into a cus-
tomary marriage with the
39-year-old Anita Nduta. He
also denied cohabiting with
her as his wife.
Ms Nduta says he married
her under customary law.
Mr Patel said Ms Ndutas
suit was frivolous and de-
signed to embarrass him.
He said he was married to
Minaxiben Patel with whom
he has two children aged 34
and 24, and could therefore
not marry Ms Nduta.
He denied being the father
of Ms Ndutas three children,
arguing that he only fathered
the youngest, born in 2007.
I never took parental re-
sponsibility of the other two
aged 18 and nine years, Mr
Patel told senior resident mag-
istrate Judicaster Nthuku.
His lawyer, Mr Wilfred
Konosi, said the business-
man had been taking care of
Ms Ndutas last born as his
biological son.
My client has even allowed
Ms Nduta and her children to
live in a house constructed
on one-acre piece of land to
benet the said child, said Mr
Konosi. Mr Patel, he added,
pays water and electricity bills
for the house and school fees
for the son.
Ms Nduta says she is
married to Mr Patel under cus-
tomary law. She suers from
cervical cancer and in April
asked the court to block Mr
Patel from leaving the country
until he paid for the upkeep of
all her children aged 18, nine
and six years.
She asked the court to
conscate his passport until
he paid maintenance, adding
that unless his passport was
deposited with the court, he
may leave the country for good
as he holds dual citizenship.
He has been selling off
most of his property and
businesses in preparation
for his departure to India,
she claimed.
Ms Nduta is claiming
Sh30,000 for food, Sh2,000
for electricity, school fees accord-
ing to the various fee structures,
Sh4,000 for clothes and medical
fees whenever the need arises.
The hearing resumes on
May 27.

Kenya shuns
push for ICC
role in Syria
BY KEVIN J KELLEY
Nation Correspondent
in New York
Kenya is not among 58 coun-
tries that on Monday urged the
UN Security Council to initiate an
International Criminal Court inves-
tigation of atrocities committed by
all parties in Syria.
Most other African countries,
including several that are parties
to the ICC treaty, joined Kenya in
declining to sign a letter in support
of a French-sponsored Security
Council resolution expected to be
put to a vote today.
Botswana, Cape Verde, Ivory
Coast, Ghana and the Seychelles
signed the letter that Switzerland
had circulated to all 193 UN mem-
ber-states. Nigeria, currently a
member of the Security Council,
has also expressed support for an
ICC role in Syria.
It is certainly disappointing that
a large majority of African signers
of the ICC treaty have not endorsed
this call for court intervention, said
Mr Richard Dicker, director of the
international justice programme at
Human Rights Watch.
However, Russian deputy Foreign
minister Gennady Gatilov on Tues-
day said his country opposes Syria
going before the ICC since we con-
sider that this is counterproductive
in the current situation.

Teenager denies planting explosives in bus
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A suspect in the twin terrorist
attacks on commuter buses on Nai-
robis Thika superhighway yesterday
recanted that he planted the explo-
sives that killed two people.
Mr Warque Dejene Sar, 18, who
had earlier admitted the charge, was
arrested after police linked him to a
SIM card recovered at the scene of
one of the explosions.
Police believe the phone line was
used in detonating the explosives in
the buses. The prosecution said an ac-
complice identied as Mr Omar Molu,
who holds a Kenyan ID, was still at large
and was involved in the second explo-
sion at the Roysambu underpass.
Mr Dejene (left) was charged with
planting an explosive device in a bus
resulting in the deaths of Mr Antony
Mbaabu Miriti and Mr Antony Mugo
Nganga on May 4. The two were
aboard a Mwiki-bound minibus.
The prosecution told the court that
detectives found several items with
traces of TNT, an explosive chemical,
at Mr Dejenes and his alleged accom-
plices homes at Kiamaiko slums in
Huruma, Nairobi.
The accused and his accomplice
who is still at large were recruited by
a Mr Mohammed Noor in 2010 to
join Al-Shabaab, and they travelled
to Mandera where they crossed into
Somalia for training, said the pros-
ecution.
The hearing was set for July 3.

T
he Netherlands has hit out at
countries issuing travel advi-
sories against Kenya.
At the same time Britain has denied
that it ordered the evacuation of its
citizens from the Coast.
Dutch ambassador Joost Reintjes
yesterday said that countries that
issued travel advisories against
Kenya had blown matters out of
proportion.
Mr Reintjes said Kenya was peace-
ful despite isolated acts of terror
which could happen anywhere in
the world.
He said the Netherlands would not
issue any advisory on Kenya unless
there was a dire need to do so. We
are not part of those giving travel
advisories.
Speaking at Maseno University in
Kisumu County yesterday, he said he
was recently in Mombasa when tour-
ists were advised to leave yet I could
not see any cause for alarm.
In Bomet, British High Commis-
sioner Christian Turner denied that
his country ordered the evacuation
of its citizens from Kenya.
Dr Turner said media reports that
the UK had warned its citizens against
visiting Kenya due to escalating in-
security were false.
The envoy said his country did not
issue a travel alert against Kenya.
Britain only issued a change of
travel advisory targeting Mombasa
and not any other part of Kenya,
he said during the launch of a solar
power project developed by British
rm Williamson Tea in Konoin con-
stituency.
The High Commissioner further
denied that the UK chartered planes
to evacuate its citizens. There has
been a lot of noise about the security
situation, but it is not true that the
British Government evacuated its
citizens from Kenya last week or
that we are telling people that this
country is o limits.
He said his oce was assisting
Kenya to attract more tourists and
investors from Britain.
Our government is instead more
focused on bringing more jobs, busi-
nesses and tourists to Kenya.
Mr Reintjes said Kenyas relation
with the West was cordial, noting that
Kenyan exported most of its produce
to Western countries.

The attack happened two days

The two police ocers and four
Kenya Police Reservists were pursu-
ing the terrorists who had hijacked
four pick-ups ferrying miraa from

U
niversities will not be allowed to run
learning centres once tough govern-
ment regulations are gazetted.
According to the new university regula-
tions, a campus should be the lowest unit
of any local university, which puts many
teaching centres in the country at risk of
closure unless they are upgraded.
The regulations that were developed by
stakeholders led by the Commission for
Universities Education specify that the
campus must have localised administra-
tive structures clearly linked with the main
institution.
Distance learning
A campus may retain the status in
perpetuity or university may initiate the
process to be a constituent college after
ve years, the regulations say.
The regulations also state that all open
and distance learning centres will be sub-
jected to the same regulations as those
of campuses.
Any university wishing to establish
a campus will be required to apply to
the commission. Previously, university
councils and senates did so on their own.
However, to set up a campus, a university
will be required to table evidence that its
council and senate have approved it. The
regulations also require the universities
to identify the location of the campus,
academic resources, sta dedicated to it
and what it will be teaching.
The mode of teaching in the campus
will have to be disclosed and it will only
be a constituent college for three years
after which it will be upgraded to a fully-
edged university. But it has to be awarded
a charter by commission.
This is a shift from the past where a
university college could take several years
before being upgraded to a fully-edged
university. Its upgrade was determined by
the government of the day.
The regulations also require universities
to submit a list of what they teach or will
be terminated within four years.

internal quality assurance policy. It will be

a course and market survey.

to submit to the commission a ve year

propriate and qualied senior
lecturer and above with at least
ve years university teaching
experience and a doctoral de-
gree in the eld.
Full-time sta
The ratio for full-time to
part-time sta for the support
of any programme should be 2:
1, the regulations state.
The ratio of full-time sta to
students for Applied Sciences
has been proposed to be 1:10,
while in the Arts and Humani-
ties, there will be one for every
15 students. For Medical and
Allied Sciences, the proposed

ost counties are under in-

money allocated to them in
the ending nancial year.
Yesterday, the Ethics and Anti-
Corruption Commission said it
was investigating nearly 35 counties
after it received complaints over the
allocation of funds, recruitment and
tendering.
Spokesman Yasin Amaro told the
Nation the investigations are at an
advanced stage but declined to di-
vulge details or the counties.
The whole thing will zero in to the
accounting ocers. There will be oth-
ers who, maybe, did not do their jobs
right. But we are rst investigating
the people directly charged with the
responsibilities given to them in the
counties, he said.
Most of investigations are on
procurement, recruitment, unequal
representation of those who did not
full the Constitutional requirement of
30 per cent. We are looking at almost
three quarters of the counties.
Other sources said that ve of the
counties are in Nyanza, six in the Rift
Valley and western, three in central
and northern Kenya and one at the
Coast.
This nancial year, county govern-
ments were allocated Sh210 billion.
In January this year, the Controller
of Budget indicated that 27 counties
were not allocated a cent for develop-
ment between July and October.

P
resident Kenyatta has
criticised Western
countries for issuing
travel advisories against
Kenya in the wake of recent
terrorist attacks.
He said Kenya would
nd tourists from other
parts of the world. China
is a growing new source
of tourists, although if
truth be told, the Chinese
view towards Africa is not
much dierent from that of
Westerners.
In fact, the Chinese
are not shy about doing
something Western tourists
wont do walk about in
face masks and gloves. Not
an entirely unreasonable
precaution; there are quite
a few diseases about the
African air.
For Africa, though, the
tourists who will really make
a dierence are Africans
themselves. Let us forget
the current tourist arrivals
in Kenya, and look at some
statistics about visits in
2010:
The UK contributed the
most tourists to Kenya
that year, 174,051, followed
by US 107,842. Italy and
Germany were third and
fourth at 87,694 and 63,011
respectively. France was
fth with 50,039 visitors.
Uganda topped the
African market with 33,900
followed by South Africa
33,076 and Tanzania with
30,264. From Asia, India led
with 47,611 arrivals followed
by China with 28,480.
I will pause here a bit
for a bit of nationalist ag-
waving. Mr Wilfred Kiboro,
Chairman of the Board of
Nation Media Group, once
said the most important
envoy in Nairobi, way
above the US and UK ones,
should be Ugandas High
Commissioner, because it
was, by far, Kenyas leading
trading partner. Many
Kenyans go to bed with
a full stomach, thanks to
Uganda.
Clearly, then, the African
tourists are the future. For
countries like South Africa,
African tourists are even
more important than they
are for Kenya.
The African tourist,
though, is a very dierent
creature. First, few African
tourists or Africans
in general listen to
their governments. Their
governments are mostly
incapable of evacuating
them, and few of them
expect their governments
to except in extremely
deadly situations as
happened recently in South
Sudan.
Remember those scenes
in Mombasa last week,
with hundreds of British
tourists queuing up at the
airport to get out of Kenya
after London told them to
leave? Imagine for a minute
if it had been the Nigerian
government sending a
plane to evacuate Nigerians
having fun in Mombasa. The
plane would have returned
to Abuja empty.
Now, if President
Kenyatta were able to get
African tourists to come in
the hundreds of thousands
to Kenya, then the industry
would have to deal with a
major shock. It would have
to change totally.
If you go to hotels like
Serena, Stanley Sarova,
Panafric and other top ones
in Nairobi frequently, you
will see a minivan picking
up groups of European,
American, or Asian tourists
to take them out to the
park. Anyone who has ever
seen a van taking a group
of Africans from a top-end
hotel, please send me a
tweet. I, for one, havent.
The big hotels would
have to forget about taking
in African tourists unless
they reduce their rates to
about $60 a night. Our
people just dont like to pay
for expensive rooms.
Also, we dont actually
like looking at animals in
the park, much, so you can
never nd enough of us to
load up in a bus or van for a
ride to the wild. Therefore,
those tented camps would
go out of business. And
dont expect an African to
spread a towel on the beach,
lie there for four hours
nishing a book. No way!
The approach of most
of our people is rather
practical. You go to Nairobi
on holiday, then you buy
some Maasai sandals
and blankets, kitenges, go
back home, sell them, and
recover your costs. Because
of this, we dont go on a
tour to 10 countries. We do
one or two, because there is
cargo to carry back home.
And instead of going
to photograph lions, we
would rather go and eat
nyama choma in Olepolos,
and in the evenings we go
to clubs to dance, not to
an observatory to watch
stars. And that is the other
dierence; we dont visit to
see animals or mountains
(although a few do). We
visit people (although I
personally nd that a bit
tedious).
So there is a lot of money
to be made from African
tourists, but it will be very
dierent types of hotels and
businesses making it.

WHAT OTHERS SAY | Charles Onyango-Obbo
Letter to Uhuru: The African tourist
has money but is a strange creature
IEBC must be careful!
S
omething strange seems to be happening on
the electoral front: The Independent Electoral
and Boundaries Commission is moving to a
few constituency oces registering voters.
In a candid admission by the IEBC vice-
chairperson, voter registration has been going on
in select constituencies since April 15, ostensibly
because the money left in its coers for this
nancial year, some Sh18 million, is not enough to
accord the exercise any kind of publicity.
Since the last election, the IEBC has often been
accused of favouring one side. It should, therefore,
be the last institution to undertake any kind of
operation related to elections without laying
everything on the table for everyone to see.
The IEBC is allowed by the law to conduct
continuous registration of voters, but any hint of
a clandestine operation will not sit well with those
who claim they were robbed of electoral victory in
the last elections.
It would have been a lot more prudent for the
IEBC to publicise the move well ahead of time to
forestall any claims of irregularity.
More transparency will go a long way towards
assuaging peoples suspicions that some form of
pre-rigging is not going on.

Impeach ocials, yes,
but only as a last resort
T
oo much of everything, even food, has never
been good. That is the feeling one gets about
the increasing clamour for the impeachment
of public oce-holders over perceived or real failure
to perform their duties.
Governors are feeling the pinch, with one having
been felled twice by members of his home county
assembly and another waiting for the Senate to
determine his fate.
Some politicians have warned that they will seek
to impeach the President, citing alleged abuse of
oce and outing the Constitution.
And that is not all. A group of MPs wants to
impeach a Cabinet Secretary, against whom they
have raised a litany of accusations. The bright side
about all this is that all leaders will have to tread
carefully and perform their duties to the best of
their abilities or risk losing their plum positions.
The constitutional provision for impeachment
is thus a good tool for the improvement of
governance. If well used, it will ensure that public
oces are run eciently.
And what better mechanism to ensure those who
seek election do so in the interest of the people and
not to satisfy their own interests.
However, there is a real danger that the Sword
of Damocles that now hangs over ocials heads
could emasculate their ability to perform.
There is a growing tendency for individual
disagreements or bids to settle scores becoming
the basis for calls to sack certain ocials. There
has also been talk of ocials targeted in extortion
rings. This is unacceptable.
It thus explains the calls for proper grounds to
be set for the removal of public ocials. What was
meant as a safeguard against abuse of power must
itself never be abused. It must be used only as a last
resort.

FOOD SECURITY | Dorothy Kweyu
A
mid reports that a
mother recently turned
puppies into a meal
to dull her starving familys
hunger pangs, Agriculture
Cabinet Secretary Felix Koskei
on Tuesday launched projects
supported by Njaa Marufuku
Kenya for the nancial year
2013/2014 in Lamu County.
That the minister was
accompanied by Lamu
Governor Issa Timamy and all
his principal secretaries Mrs
Sicily Kariuki (Agriculture);
Dr Khadijah Kasachoon
(Livestock); and Prof Japhet
Ntiba (Fisheries) testied
to the seriousness of the
poverty problem respective
governments have committed
themselves to eradicating
since independence.
While the question of why
a 2013/2014-year project is
being launched in the dying
moments of the scal year is
best left for another day, the
timing raises issues about the
seriousness with which Kenya
treats chronic food shortages
and its commitment to
achieving food security.
Njaa Marufuku Kenya
(Kiswahili for away with
famine in Kenya) was
launched by President Kibaki
in 2005 to address Millennium
Development Goal (MDG)
One, which seeks to halve the
number of extremely poor and
hungry people by 2015.
The project was formulated
within the context of the
Strategy for Revitalising
Agriculture to provide an
overall strategic framework
for a 10-year action plan for
hunger eradication.
The Food and Agriculture
Organisation and the MDG
Centre were behind the
projects formulation, and
being donor-driven, this might
explain the lethargic manner
in which the food security
issue is being handled.
Kenya needs to revisit
and critically interrogate its
food policies, more so within
the context of the discovery
of vast oil reserves in the
chronically hungry northern
parts of the country.
There is a proven negative
correlation between oil and
food production in the sense
that communities and nations
tend to relegate crops to
concentrate on oil, even when
its returns hardly benet the
neediest.
It is in this regard that
one would expect the Njaa
Marufuku Kenya project
to be accorded a lot more
seriousness than is conveyed
in the delayed launch of its
2013/2014 phase.
Its interventions are
geared towards increased
productivity, generating rural
incomes, improving health
and nutrition and conserving
natural resources.
That the Tuesday launch
of Njaa Marufuku Kenya was
done at the Lake Kenyatta
Agricultural Training Centre
in Lamu conrms that the
ministry is alive to its mission
of empowering the poor
through training and provision
of sustainable resource
support that enables them to
fully participate in economic
activities.
And yet, it is important for
the ministry not to view the
Njaa Marufuku project as a
favour to indigent citizens
since Kenyans right to food is
a constitutional guarantee that
needs to be bolstered by the
right agricultural policies.
While it is ne for the
government to provide safety
nets to the poor through the
devolved funds approach
of Vision 2030, the viable
way to go is to put in place
sustainable crop production
policies, which will translate
into increased crop production
and food security. Kenyas
fertiliser policy currently
zeroes in on chemical inputs,
oblivious of the grave harm
they continue to inict on
already sick soils.
Over the short period the
Daily Nations sister paper,
the Saturday Nation has
been producing the popular
agriculture pull-out magazine
Seeds of Gold, it has become
clear that maximising food
production is not so much
dependent on owning vast
tracts of land but on improving
soil health and employing
innovative practices.
One such practice involves
the use of carbon-rich organic
fertilisers, which oer hope
of restoring soil health.
Malnourished soils that have
been mined of carbon over
decades cannot be relied on to
feed 40 million Kenyans and
chemical fertilisers can only
acidify the soil further.
It is imperative that the
Ministry of Agriculture gives
serious thought to policy, with
a view to shifting focus from
the cartel-driven chemical
fertiliser distributorship to
harvesting vast quantities of
biodegradable waste in urban
centres, including human
faecal manure, to restore soils
and increase food production.

S
outh Africans have spoken and
handed their party of independence,
the Africa National Congress and
its chief, Jacob Zuma, another ve-year
mandate.
Having had the privilege of witnessing
the campaigns and the voting on May 7,
as I did in 2009, I dare say I would have
voted for the Democratic Alliance (DA).
Though there were 28 parties
competing, it was essentially a three-
horse race between the ANC, the
white-dominated DA, and Julius Malemas
Economic Freedom Fighters.
South Africa may be well ahead of the
rest of the continent, but there are clear
indications that the rainbow nation is on
the African way trajectory, courtesy of
the ANCs 20 years of uninterrupted rule.
By the African way, I mean all those
ugly features that have dened the
independent states over the years.
Massive corruption, tribalism,
immorality, collapsed infrastructure,
garbage everywhere, disregard for the
trac code a general breakdown in
societal order are what I am talking about.
You visit the Africa-dominated areas
in South Africas commercial capital,
Johannesburg, such as Hillbrow, Yeoville,
Alexandra and even Soweto, and you
come face-to-face with a mini-Nigeria,
Kenya or DRC.
I have no doubt that the DA would not
tolerate any deviation from the right path
in the name of independence, as has been
proven in Western Cape which it rules.
Fear of a return to the apartheid era
should a white South African rise to
power are unfounded. The rainbow nation
has a strong constitution and institutions
that would never allow that.
The Black South Africans must be
disabused of their exaggerated sense of
victimhood. They should not sit back
and imagine the government must do
everything for them.
South Africa has innumerable
opportunities for the diligent and the
daring. Why else would migrants from the
rest of Africa risk everything to go there
the same way others do to get to Europe?
At the risk of being branded a victim
of inferiority complex, I dare say black
leadership has the greatest propensity
to destroy a nations potential. If not
convinced, consider the following:
Nigeria, with its awesome human
resource base, oil and numerous
other endowments, is best known for
corruption, loud mouths and religious
intolerance that has mutated into the
Boko Haram terrorism.
Kenya, another human resource bastion,
best passes as the land of corruption and
tribalism. Uganda is an arrogant one-man
dictatorship, closely related to Ethiopia
and Djibouti, which are police states.
In the Sudans, both North and South,
being killed is the rule rather than
exception. The same applies to the
neighbouring Central African Republic.
In DRC, the government has no control
over swathes of the vast territory. In
Chad, Mali and Burkina Faso, the dream
of ever living above a dollar a day, remains
just that a dream.
The Western-educated King Mswati of
Swaziland believes in living in opulence
with his numerous wives, as the people he
purports to lead wallow in misery.
Zimbabwe, Angola, Cameroun and
Equatorial Guinea have leaders who are
determined to die in oce.

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
RAZOR WIRE USELESS. The Kenya-Somalia
border, which runs for nearly 1,000 kilometres, is too
vast to install a razor wire fence, says Paul Kiome
Matumbi. Rejecting the suggestion, Paul explains that
the razor wire is just a wire with some sharp parts,
which can be easily dismantled by hand. It would
be no match for the grenades that the terrorists have
been detonating. According to him, a better solution
to the security menace is to help establish a legal
government in southern Somalia.

stroy property and harass wananchi.

public university students come from
poor families; rich ones join private

ducing Helb loans is evil enough to
warrant a demonstration.

T
he strike that paralysed
learning in most public
universities on Tuesday was
unwarranted and uncalled for.
The students went on the ram-
page despite Education Cabinet
Secretary Jacob Kaimenyis as-
surance that the ministry had no
intention of increasing university
fees without wide consultation.
It is disheartening that the stu-
dent leadership in public institu-
tions except JKUAT, Kenyatta Uni-
versity and Kimathi misled their
members to protest even after the
ministers assurance.
Previously we have witnessed
students take to the streets, engage
the police in running battles and
loot public property over frivolous
issues like power outage, poor diet,
exam ill-preparedness, arrest of a
colleague and the like.
Students proclivity for strikes
should be discouraged. A university
should be the citadel of academic
excellence, so our students should
exhaust all methods of resolving
conicts before going on strike.
They should embrace conflict-
resolution mechanisms other than
devastating strikes.
JOSEPH G. MUTHAMA, Thika
Achieved goals?
Babu Owino, the leader of the
Students Organisation of Nairobi
University (Sonu) and his mates
have probably calmed down after
an athletic smoke-lled Tuesday.
Some of the rotten eggs in the
basket will be a few side mirrors
and mobile phones richer, but I
doubt the university folks will have
achieved their goals.
For a long time, certain images
have been printed on the minds of
Kenyans regarding street demos
shouting crowds with sketchy ban-
ners full of demands, marching to-
wards the city centre only to make
a hasty return trip a few hours later
with police in hot pursuit.
This often happens in tear gas-
filled environments laced with
stone-throwing, injuries, loss of
property and in some cases fatali-
ties, courtesy of police batons, stray
bullets or missiles. Truly the Ken-
yan denition of a demonstration.
We often think of demonstra-
tions as negative violence
against something. But they can
also be positive and peaceful. They
can support ideas, initiatives, or
existing programmes. Demos are
a way of getting a point across to
those in power. Protesters may also
use humour, theatre or music. The
pig-lled Occupy Parliament pro-
test against MPs was a blend.
So all that the students needed
to do was to consider beforehand,
whether a demonstration was the
right vehicle to get their point
across, then plan it carefully and
carry it out peacefully.
A successful demonstration
should be able to accomplish its
goals either immediately or over
the long term. I do not think Tues-
days protests got close to that.

Invest heavily in security if the war on corruption is to be won
Many have time and again blamed the rising inse-
curity on corruption in the police service. While this is
true to some extent, we have not taken time to think
about the conditions that contribute to this corrup-
tion. Again, to label the whole service corrupt is a
disservice to thousands of men and women who daily
put their lives on the line to ensure we are safe.
Many may argue they are paid to work, but the
question is: How much resources have we allocated
to enable them to perform optimally? Most ocers
houses are worse than slums. We have stations where
ocers live in mud-wall, grass-thatch houses con-
structed during pre-independence days. Some oc-
ers families live in barracks partitioned by bed-sheets
with leaking roofs. It is estimated that there is a hous-
ing shortfall of 76 per cent 84 per cent in the AP
service. Ocers cannot resort to industrial action so
the issue remains in the in-tray.
The police force is still analogue. Manual typewrit-
ers are still widely used. There are no ICT facilities.
Some stations contribute to buy computers and print-
ers, but maintaining records is a challenge, given the
unwillingness of the government to train its ocers.
Hardship allowance is a joke Sh600 for unmar-
ried and Sh1,200 for the married). Its time we in-
vested heavily in security, otherwise our dream of a
secure and peaceful country will remain a mirage.

I also agree with the council that

refugee law.
Similar eorts have been instituted
in the South Pacific and Central
America seeking to make climate
change victims eligible for protec-
tion as refugees.
Cabinet Secretary for Environment
Judi Wakhungu (right) said there was
a need for regional and international
eorts to deal with the cross border
movement especially in light of the
challenges of global warming.
I am made to understand that there
is a gap because people moving across
borders because of natural disasters
are not likely to qualify for refugee
status because environmental reasons
are not recognised as grounds to at-
tain refugee status, the minister said
in a statement read by Environment
Secretary Alice Akinyi.
The CS said there a need for a legal
basis in international refugee law to
tackle the serious issues that could
no longer be ignored.
Prof Wakhungu called on countries
to formulate strategies to address the
issue and nd solutions to problems
faced by those displaced as a result
of environmental disasters.
Swiss ambassador George Martin
said that while conict continued
to be the leading cause of people
eeing their countries, natural dis-
aster-induced displacement was fast
overtaking it, more so as a result of
global warming.
According to the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees
2011 data, 290,000 Somalis were
displaced to Kenya and Ethiopia
by famine and ongoing conflict
while 1.3 million were internally
displaced.

P
olitical activist Moses
Kuria has run into trou-
ble with the Law Society
of Kenya which is demanding
his prosecution over a Face-
book posting.
Yesterday, LSK Secretary
Apollo Mboya wrote to the
Director of Public Prosecutions
(DPP), Mr Keriako Tobiko,
asking him to investigate
and prosecute the author of
the post.
The post incites the pub-
lic to violence targeted at a
specic community and may
very well constitute hate
speech which if not curbed,
[could] plunge the country
into chaos, Mr Mboya wrote,
insisting that the lawyers lobby
had been informed of the post
by concerned members of the
public.
LSK was referring to a post
on Facebook by a Moses Kuria
after twin explosions in Nairo-
bis Gikomba market in which
12 people died and dozens oth-
ers hospitalised. It read:
I think it is only a matter
of time before Kenyans start
violence against PERCEIVED
(sic) terrorists, their sympa-
thisers, their nanciers and
those issuing travel advisories
without intelligence.
I am not sure I will not be
one of those Kenyans. When
you touch Gikomba the nerve
centre of our economic enter-
prise, you really cross the line.
Brace yourself. Choices have
consequences.
The post attracted com-
ments with some supporting
the authors views.
But in a quick rejoinder, Mr
Kuria denied the allegation
and challenged LSK to table
its evidence.
I have not named any com-
munities. Let them (LSK)
produce evidence of thatMy
stand against terrorists will not
change, he said in a text mes-
sage sent to the Nation.
He accused LSK of echoing
claims made by Cord leaders
at the Kibera rally last Sunday,
during which leaders threat-
ened to impeach President
Kenyatta over what they said
were irregular appointments
and unpopular nancial deci-
sions such as the one to pay
Sh1.4 billion for the Anglo
Leasing contracts.

D
ozens of high-end houses
were brought down in
Nairobi early yesterday,
leaving owners counting huge
losses estimated to be hundreds
of millions.
However, further demolition
was stopped after President
Kenyatta ordered that the
home owners be given time to
vacate.
The houses in South B estate,
each worth about Sh10 million,
were demolished following a pro-
tracted dispute on ownership of
the land they were built on.
Earth movers destroyed more
than 20 houses belonging to the
Executive Housing Company
on orders from the Ministry of
Agriculture.
Home owners cried foul saying
they had not been given notice
to vacate.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary
Felix Koskei yesterday said the
land, which is estimated to be
243 acres, belongs to the Kenya
Veterinary Vaccines Production
Institute.
However, the home owners
said they bought the land and
had genuine documents to prove
ownership.
The minister said the Presi-
dent ordered that the exercise
be suspended to give disgruntled
owners more time to vacate the
land.
Nairobi Senator Gidion Mbuvi
led hundreds of residents in
demanding a stop to the demo-
lition. He claimed he had asked
Mr Koskei to suspend the plan
and the minister agreed only to
sanction it later.
The owners have genuine
documents. You cannot say
they got the pieces of land il-
legally yet they pay land rates to
the county and land rents to the
national government. How can
you say they are illegal owners?
said Mr Mbuvi.
However, Mr Koskei, who vis-
ited the estate after the crowd
had dispersed, insisted that
the contested land belonged to
the institute and no one could
claim it.
The second, third or fourth
buyers maybe innocent but the
fact is that this land was acquired
unlawfully by those who sold it
to them, he said. We are not
going to relent on our pursuit
of this land.
Of the 243 acres, only 72 have
remained with the veterinary
institute as sections were hived
off and sold to unsuspecting
buyers.
The Cabinet Secretary urged
the buyers to pursue those who
sold the land to them, saying
the government did not have
any plan to compensate them
despite their loss due to the
demolition.
Ms Beatrice Karanja, one of
the aected home owners, said
she had a title deed and genuine
documents to prove she acquired
the land lawfully.
Now we do not even know
what to do. We have invested
millions of shillings here and
suddenly we are being told the
land does not belong to us. We
pay land rents and required
rates to the government. Why
are they accepting the pay-
ments if they are from illegally
acquired land? she said, adding
that she invested Sh5 million in
her property.
Other installations earmarked
for demolition in the area include
the Winners Chapel International
and houses built by the Kenya
Bankers Sacco. Housing units
belonging to Diamond Park
Company are also targeted.
The ministry said the initial
sellers of the land were the
National Social Security Fund,
Secretary to former Lands com-
missioner Anne Nyambura and
Tilley and Samu Ltd.

sign new contracts
BY GITONGA MARETE

A
ll port workers must
sign performance
contracts in a move
the management says will
improve eciency.
Managing Director Gichiri
Ndua yesterday told workers
at the largest sea port in East
Africa to up their game so
that business does not move
to Dar-es-Salaam port.
The Tanzanian port is
expected to become more
competitive after the improve-
ment of the central corridor,
besides the upcoming port in
Bagamoyo.
The $10 billion (Sh860
billion) port, combined with
the reconstruction of the
central corridor which links
Dar-es-salaam with Burundi
and Democratic Republic of
Congo, is expected to rival
Mombasa port whose per-
formance is also hindered by
the poor state of the northern
corridor.
The northern corridor
links Mombasa with Uganda,
Rwanda and South Sudan and
has been cited as one of the
routes in the region with the
highest number of non-tari
barriers.
We have put in place
elaborate programmes to
grow cargo volumes. What
we need now is the right
working attitude and ac-
countability, Mr Ndua said,
adding that performance
contracts would inculcate a
sense of responsibility.
He was speaking during the
launch of the new perform-
ance management system and
Transformation Framework at
KPA headquarters.
The system, developed by
consulting rm Delloite and
Touche, is based on the Bal-
anced Scorecard planning,
and seeks to help workers
understand their roles in an
organisation.
The MD noted that KPA
has invested in modern
equipment, constructed berth
19 and carried out dredging
at a cost of over Sh10 billion.
It is constructing a second
container terminal to increase
capacity.
Union backing
Mr Salim Chingabwe, head
of human resources at KPA
told workers to be responsi-
ble and take work seriously,
adding that the days when
employees would report to
work then leave immediately
were over.
Dock Workers Union sec-
retary-general Simon Sang
backed the performance
contracts saying they would
help determine the work em-
ployees do.
We want to be proud of this
port. Remember that when
you demand more pay, you
must also deliver, he said.

Uhuru approves new regulations to protect children
President Kenyatta yesterday
signed a new legal notice establish-
ing the Child Welfare Society of Kenya
as a government agency.
The Society has a statutory re-
sponsibility to provide services to all
young persons across all sectors in
especially marginalised and vulner-
able children such as orphans, young
women and minors.
President Kenyatta signed the
legal notice at his Harambee House
oce where he met with the Cabinet
Secretary for Labour Kazungu Kambi
and ocials of the Society.
The purpose of the new law is to
provide a legal framework within
which the Society will function and
operate.
Issues discussed by the President
and ocials of the Society included
the protection of all children across
the 47 counties where the society will
execute its mandate.
As a state agency, the Society
will tackle such other concerns as
child tracking, adoption matters
including those sought by foreign-
ers and rapid response to children
in duress.
Advocacy issues
The society will also provide rescue
centres and foster care for separated
and street children and address such
other issues as child labour.
It will also undertake advocacy on
matters concerning youths and chil-
dren including HIV and Aids.
The new legal framework will re-
store the functions, responsibilities,
mandate and powers of the previous
Society which were left out follow-
ing the repeal of the Prevention of
Cruelty To and Neglect of Children
Ordinance and the Children and
Young Persons Act.
The new Society will operate as a
semi-autonomous government agency
with budgetary allocation Treasury.
The current budget allocation for
the society for the year 2013/2014 is
Sh 261 million for recurrent expendi-
ture and another Sh 300 million for
capital expenditure.(PSCU).

UASIN GISHU | Untrained sta accused of misconduct
Governor tells UTs
to keep o schools
BY DENNIS LUBANGA
@lubangadenno
dlubanga@ke.nationmedia.com
A
ll untrained teachers
have been ordered to
stay away from Uasin
Gishu County schools.
The untrained teachers were
behind pregnancies among
pupils, according to deputy
Governor Daniel Chemno.
Such teachers are hired by
Parents Teachers Associations
(PTAs).
Mr Chemno said that it was
hard for schools to monitor the
conduct and behaviour of the
untrained teachers, since they
were not under the TSC.
The County Government of
Uasin Gishu orders all public
and private schools in the
county to drop all untrained
teachers since most of them
are taking advantage of in-
nocent pupils and molesting
them, he said.
The deputy governor was
speaking at Boinet Primary
School where an untrained
teacher is said to have im-
pregnated two girls.
Crack down
He said the county govern-
ment would crack down on all
schools outing the order.
Fifteen other girls in the
same school have dropped out
after they were impregnated by
some villagers.
Mr Chemno asked parents
to take legal responsibility for
their children in such cases and
accused them of colluding with
oenders.
Parents are to blame when
it comes to incidents whereby
their daughters are impregnated
by members of the local commu-
nity. No action is ever taken by
the parents because of cultural
values, but in this time and era,
we want to condemn that. Its
now upon the local administra-
tion to hunt for the suspects
behind this, he stated.
Mr Chemno said that the
pupils should be allowed to
resume their studies.
Local administrator Gilbert
Songok also blamed parents
for failure to cooperate with
the law.
Parents are not ready to co-
operate with us in cracking the
whip on perpetrators because
of cultural values, lamented
Mr Songok.
The school performed poorly
in last years Kenya Certicate
of Primary Education (KCPE)
examinations in the county.
Workers hired by
parents blamed for
high dropout rate
among girls
Two men linked to pupil
pregnancies arrested.
Parents accused of failing
to cooperate with law en-
forcement ocers to nail

Only two of 17 girls were
impregnated by the un-
trained teachers, the rest
were impregnated by vil-

Chloride Exide general manager Tim Jessop (right) congratulates Ubbink East Africa Ltd managing

Kuper asked the government to review the amended Value Added Tax Act on the panels.
Solar rm wants VAT law reviewed
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
A solar company in Na-
ivasha yesterday opposed a
move to exempt imported
panels from paying duty.
Ubbink East Africa Ltd
managing director Haijo
Kuper said this was bad for
local investors since imported
solar panels are cheaper than
locally manufactured ones.
This came after the Value
Added Tax law was amended
and exempted imported solar
panels from duty.
Mr Kuper was speaking at
the factory yesterday when
they celebrated the manu-
facture of their 100,000th
photovoltaic solar panel.
He said: This is a severe
blow for local production be-
cause Ubbink has to swallow
the cost of importing raw ma-
terials. It would be cheaper to
import the nished products.
I believe the government will
address this soon.
Mr Kuper said Ubbink
panels were gaining market
share in Kenya and they are
now exporting to Tanzania,
Uganda, Rwanda, South
Sudan and South Africa. The
next target is the Democratic
Republic of Congo, Malawi
and Zambia.
The 100,000th panel was
presented by Mr Kuper to
Chloride Exide general man-
ager Tim Jessop. Chloride
purchases most of the facto-
rys products.

FOOD | Unga consumers to pay more
Maize prices
increase due
to shortage
BY BARNABAS BII
bbii@ke.nationmedia.com
P
rices of cereals have in-
creased in the North Rift
as farmers hoard the grains
in anticipation of a further rise.
A bag of maize is selling at
Sh3,400, up from Sh2,800
last month. Wheat prices have
also shot up from Sh3,200 to
Sh3,600.
Food shortage is unavoid-
able due to erratic rainfall that
interfered with the planting
programme, said Ms Susan
Kongato from Sergoit, Uasin
Gishu County.
She has 14 bags of maize which
is sucient for her family of ve
before the next crop is ready.
Subsequently, our prices have
increased by an average of eight
shillings. A two-kilogramme
packet of flour is retailing at
Sh118, up from Sh110 a week
ago.
The situation may get worse
as farmers have reduced acre-
age under crop this season due
to the high cost of farm input and
unreliable rainfall.
The rst maize crop planted
this season has withered and
farmers have been forced to
replant. Fertiliser prices have
increased from Sh2,200 to
Sh2,500 in most retail shops.
Lack of adequate capital will
force some maize farmers to re-
plant the crop without applying
the nutrients, said Mr Peter Boit
from Uasin Gishu.
Rift Valley produced 16 million
bags of maize last year compared
to about 21 million the previous
year.
It is no longer protable to
invest in cereal production as it
requires heavy investment yet
the returns are low, said Joel
Kiprop from Moiben, Uasin
Gishu County.
Farmers hoard cereal

of the cost of input
and unreliable rains

Police blamed for sexual abuse of two boys
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Police have been accused of negligence
after two boys were sexually assaulted in
a cell in Nyando early this month.
The boys were abused while conned
in a police cell with older suspects, one of
whom is on trial for a sexual oence.
Maendeleo ya Wanaume leader Nderitu
Njoka said it was due to negligence that
the minors were assaulted while under the
care of police. But Nyando OCPD Elias
Gitonga said his ocers were blameless,
adding that if it were not for the station
commanders action, the culprits would
not have been brought to book.
Last Friday, local magistrate Paul We-
chuli found Maurice Juma and Francis
Omondi guilty of violating the 14-year-
old boys and sentenced them to 30 years
in prison.
The minors had been taken to court
to be declared homeless after they were
found at Ahero Town unaccompanied.
Although they were supposed to be kept
at a childrens remand home, they spent
the night with suspects at a police station
due to transport challenges.
The two sex pests forced themselves
on the boys as other cellmates watched
silently for fear of being harmed as the
molesters had warned them against rais-
ing the alarm.

LAX SECURITY | While gunmen were eeing, three of their vehicles broke down and they xed them
148 killed in Nigeria as twin bombs
hit market and 30 shot dead in raid
LAGOS, Wednesday
T
win car bombings in cen-
tral Nigeria killed at least
118 people and brought
entire buildings down Tuesday,
in the latest aront to the gov-
ernments internationally-backed
security crackdown.
Nigerian President Goodluck
Jonathan swiftly condemned
the attack in the central city
of Jos, calling it a tragic as-
sault on human freedom and
condemning the perpetrators
as cruel and evil.
President Jonathan assures all
Nigerians that (the) government
remains fully committed to win-
ning the war against terror and...
will not be cowed by the atrocities
of enemies of human progress
and civilisation, his oce said.
But the deadly strike and a sui-
cide car bomb attack that killed
four in the northern city of Kano
on Sunday, will raise fresh ques-
tions about the governments grip
on the countrys security.
Jonathan has already faced
calls to quit for failing to ensure
the safety of Nigerians and
their property as well as come
under criticism for his lacklus-
tre response to the kidnapping
of more than 200 schoolgirls by
Boko Haram militants.
An international team, in-
cluding specialists from the
United States, Britain, France
and Israel are involved in the
hunt for the 223 teenagers, who
were abducted in the remote
northeastern town of Chibok
on April 14.
Meanwhile, two attacks by
Boko Haram gunmen killed 30
people near Chibok, the north-
east Nigerian town where the
Islamists kidnapped more than
200 schoolgirls last month, wit-
nesses said today.
The rst attack on Monday af-
ternoon killed 10 in the village of
Shawa, some seven kilometres
from Chibok, a number of resi-
dents told AFP on condition of
anonymity.
Gunmen then stormed the
nearby village of Alagarno late
on Tuesday and stole food,
razed homes and red on ee-
ing civilians.
It was a sudden attack, said
resident Haruna Bitrus, in an
account supported by other
locals.
They began shooting and set
re to our homes. We had to ee
to the bush. They killed 20 of our
people, he added.
Many of those who ed the
Alagarno attack ran to Chibok,
where Boko Haram seized
schoolgirls.
The military said it had de-
ployed heavily to the area to
find the girls who remain in
captivity.
Major world powers including
the United States are oering
varying levels of assistance with
the rescue mission.
Mr Bitrus said that despite
claims of a military build-up
in the area, troops had not
responded to the latest attack.
While the gunmen were eeing,
three of their vehicles broke down
and they have stayed behind to
x them. They were there up to
this morning with no response
from the military, he said.
In Jos, the co-ordinator of
the National Emergency Man-
agement Agency (NEMA),
Mohammed Abdulsalam, said
buildings collapsed because of
the intensity of the blasts in the
New Abuja Market area, causing
raging res.
More bodies may be in the
debris, he told AFP, adding: The
exact gure of the dead bodies
recovered as at now is 118... 56
people were injured.
The police in Plateau state, of
which Jos is the capital, disputed
the NEMA gure, however, and
maintained that 46 were killed
and 45 injured.
We are saying 46, said state
police commissioner Chris
Olakpe. Thats the number we
have in the morgues. But we are
not ruling out more bodies.
The military said improvised
explosive devices were hid-
den in a truck and a minibus.
The second went o about 20
minutes after the rst, as emer-
gency service workers tended to
the victims.
Most of the victims were
women, added Pam Ayuba,
spokesman for the state gover-
nor, Jonah Jang.
Plateau, of which Jos is the
capital, falls in Nigerias so-
called Middle Belt, where the
mainly Christian south meets
the Muslim-majority north.
The state and its religiously
divided capital have seen
deadly sectarian clashes in the
past as well as attacks from
Boko Haram extremists, who
have been waging an increas-
ingly deadly insurgency in the
north since 2009.
There was no immediate in-
dication of who was responsible
for the latest attacks, although
the police in Kano said they had
arrested two men in connection
with Sundays bombing, without
giving more details.
Nigeria is under the spotlight
as never before over its response
to Boko Haram, given the global
attention on the plight of the
missing girls.
On the day of the mass abduc-
tion, the militants launched a car
bomb attack on a bus station in a
suburb of the capital Abuja which
killed 75 and are suspected of a
copy-cat attack in the same
location on May 1 which left 19
dead. (AFP)

Mubarak sentenced to
three years for graft
An Egyptian court on Wednes-
day sentenced deposed president
Hosni Mubarak to three years in
prison on corruption charges, in
one of two trials after the 2011
uprising that ended his rule.
His sons Alaa and Gamal each
received four-year jail terms,
and four other defendants were
acquitted. They were accused of
embezzling more than one hun-
dred million Egyptian pounds
(about $14 million, 10 million
euros) earmarked for the main-
tenance of presidential palaces.
Mubarak, 86, wearing a grey suit,
sat on a wheelchair in the caged
dock for the verdict. His sons,
in white prison issue clothing,
stood beside him. Mubarak had
technically been a free man after
a court ordered his release last
year following the end of the per-
mitted detention period, but has
since remained out of sight in a
military hospital. (AFP)

LILONGWE, Wednesday
V
oting in Malawis heated elec-
tions spilled into a second day
today after riots sparked by
the late opening of polling stations
marred a vote seen as a test of
President Joyce Bandas scandal-
tainted rule.
The military was deployed on
Tuesday after irate voters burned
polling stations amid allegations of
rigging when some bureaus opened
10 hours late.
Meanwhile, counting of votes
continued and trickling results
monitored on radio depicts a tussle
between Malawi Congress Party
(MCP) Presidential candidate Dr
Lazarus Chakwera and Democratic
Progressive Party (DPP)s candidate
Peter Mutharika.
The early results have reduced the
four horse race that was envisaged
to two as Malawi Peoples Partys
President Joyce Banda and opposi-
tion United Democratic Front (UDF)
candidate Atulepe Muluzi seem to be
falling by the way side.
President Banda came to power
on April 7, 2012 following the death
of the then President Dr Bingu wa
Mutharika. The president mounted
a massive campaign to win her rst
full mandate. However, results
monitored, so far, from Zodiak
Broadcasting Service the ocial
election broadcasting radio station
indicate a close race for Mr Chak-
wera and Mr Mutharika.
President Banda, in some poll-
ing centres in the Southern and
Central region would come second
or third to Chakwera or Mutharika.
She, however, received massive sup-
port in the northern region in some
polling centres leading with a wide
margin.
Northern region has a small
number of voters about 1.1 million,
central region has about 3.1 million
while southern region has about 3.3
million.
There is massive celebration at
the fall of President Banda on social
media attributing her loss to her
strategy of giving handouts includ-
ing maize, cows, goats and building
houses for some select rural poor
on one hand and the mishandling
of the theft of public funds dubbed
cash-gate on the other.
There were also controversies sur-
rounding the sale of presidential jet,
many felt that the deal was not trans-
parent. These could be amongst the
reasons for her poor showing at the
polls. Vote counting is still continuing
in other areas.
Bandas supporters insist that
President Banda will win the elec-
tions as only less than 50 per cent of
the votes have been counted.

Malawian Electoral Commission workers count voted ballots yesterday in Blantyre, Malawi. Polling

LUSAKA, WEDNESDAY
Z
ambia President Michael
Sata today appeared in a
Lusaka court to testify
in a matter he has sued a local
newspaper for defamation.
The rare move has been de-
scribed by a largest opposition
party as intimidation for the
whole Presidency to appear
in a court.
A local daily newspaper,
Daily Nation, has been sued
for carrying a story alleg-
ing that President Sata, 76,
inuenced the removal of a
prominent Lusaka lawyer
Vincent Malambo as legal
counsel for the Development
Bank of Zambia - DBZ in a
controversial case involving
Public Prosecutor Mutembo
Nchito and privately owned
daily the Posts owner Fred
Mmembe.
Nchito and Mmembes
case involves a $2.7 million
loan extended to the airline,
owned by the duo.
President Sata argued that
that was contrary to the story
that was published by the
newspaper which quoted an
academician Cholwe Beyani
saying he had inuenced the
removal of the lawyer to pro-
tect his friends Nchito and
Mmembe. President Sata told
the court that Daily Nation
proprietor Richard Sakala lied
and did not even call him to
balance the story adding that
newspapers that use lies to
make sales should be dealt
with by the courts of law.
Leader of the former ruling
party Movement for Multi-
party Democracy (MMD)
Nevers Mumba condemned
President Satas decision to
personally appear in a court
saying the move reduced the
Presidency to cadreism.
But President Satas lawyer
Bonaventure Mutale said his
client was aggrieved by the
story.
Hundreds of supporters
turned up at the Lusaka
High Court ground to oer
solidarity to the septuage-
narian leader.
Former First Lady
Meanwhile, local media
reported today that Zambias
former First Lady Thandiwe
Banda won a case in which
she sued state-owned Times
of Zambia for defamation fol-
lowing its report that the State
seized property worth billions
of Kwacha, including a hotel
in neighbouring Malawi and
some apartments in Tanzania
from her.
She considered the sum
of K20,000 {($4,000) to be
appropriate for aggravated
exemplary damages and exem-
plary damages respectively,
reported the privately owned
daily The Post.

Mogadishu neighbourhood gets Al-Shabaab lights order
BY ABDULKADIR KHALIF
NATION Correspondent
MOGADISHU, Wednesday
According to residents
in Heliwa district in North
Mogadishu, people and busi-
ness owners are confused by
conflicting orders from the
Somali government and Al-
Shabaab militants.
Residents who anonymously
talked to the media today
stated that Al-Shabaab mili-
tants ordered them to switch
o the lights at night, espe-
cially in front of the houses
and businesses.
The Islamists orders
contravene a guideline by
Mogadishus city council for
every business and family
premise to have a light illu-
minating the street at night.
The governments intention
is to expose any unwanted
movement of persons while
the militants are keen to have
a dark environment.
A resident said, For two
days, we have been getting
Al-Shabaab orders by vari-
ous means to keep the whole
Heliwa district dark.
But, there are also gov-
ernment officers roaming
around during daytime in the
neighbourhoods, ordering the
residents and business owners
to keep the lights on.
Remained dark
A mother of six who asked
not named for her familys se-
curity conrmed that most of
Heliwa district remained dark
over Monday and Tuesday
night. Businesspeople that
used to open their trade in
the evenings at Suuqa Xoolaha
neighbourhood have recently
been keeping their places
shut, said the mother.
According to the residents,
Al-Shabaab direction is that
their militants will kill anybody
disobeying them.
The governments insist-
ence to reject the Islamists
orders is equally troubling.

DIALOGUE | Visit by someone who is seeking a road to peace
VATICAN CITY, Wednesday
P
ope Francis today said his upcom-
ing trip to the Middle East would
be entirely devotional, aimed at
praying for peace in the region and im-
proving relations with other branches
of Christianity.
It will be a purely religious trip, the
Argentine pope told some 50,000 pil-
grims at a general audience in St Peters
Square ahead of three-day trip to Israel,
Jordan and the Palestinian Territories
starting on Saturday.
Francis said the main reasons for the
trip billed a pilgrimage of prayer
by the Vatican were to meet with
the Orthodox Patriarch of Constanti-
nople Bartholomew I and to pray for
peace in that land, which has suered
so much.
The May 24-26 visit kicks o when
Francis flies to Amman and meets
Syrian refugees next saturday. He will
then travel on to Bethlehem, Tel Aviv
and Jerusalem, wrapping up the visit
on Monday with a mass in the place
where Christians believe Jesus had the
last supper with his disciples.
Francis will meet with all the main
Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian lead-
ers, but only briey. There has also
been opposition from ultra-Orthodox
Jews over perceived Vatican designs on
holy sites in Jerusalem.
Argentine Rabbi Abraham Skorka,
an old friend of Francis who will be
travelling with him, said the ponti
would try to avoid political pitfalls in
the sensitive region by dividing his vis-
its equally between Jewish Israeli sites
and Muslim or Christian landmarks in
Palestinian territory. He will try to be
balanced, Rabbi Skorka told journalists
in Jerusalem.
Hes going to make meaningful
contact and interaction with the Pal-
estinian people. But when he comes to
Israel, Im not sure whether the previous
Popes went to Mount Herzl (the site
of Israels Holocaust memorial) to lay
owers there.
Pope Francis is to pray at the Western
Wall, the site of the rst and second
Jewish temples, and to visit Israels na-
tional cemetery on Mount Herzl before
going on to the Yad Vashem Holocaust
memorial.
Rabbi Skorka condemned opposition
by ultra-Orthodox Jews to the Popes
visit.
Im totally against them (demonstra-
tions against the visit). This is a visit
by someone who is seeking a road to
peace and dialogue and he should be
received with open arms, Skorka said.
We cannot remain and live in a vicious
circle of hate. Hundreds gathered last
week near the reputed scene of Jesuss
last supper in Jerusalem, demanding
that Israel keep sovereignty over the
site where Pope Francis will celebrate
mass. (AFP)

could fetch $10m
A Stradivarius violin kept in a closet for
the past 25 years could fetch as much as $10
million next month, Christies auction house

Hong Kong. The instrument was once owned
by French musician Rodolphe Kreutzer, one of
Europes leading concert violinists in the late
18th and early 19th centuries, and was crafted
in 1731 by famed Italian violin maker Antonio
Stradivari. (AFP)

LONDON, Wednesday
P
rince Charles has com-
pared the recent actions
of Russian President
Vladimir Putin in Ukraine
to those of Nazi leader Adolf
Hitler in World War II, media
reports said today.
Ms Marienne Ferguson,
a 78-year-old who fled the
Nazis aged 13 and lost family
members in the Holocaust,
said the heir to the throne
made the controversial remark
during a tour of a museum in
Canada.
I had finished showing
him the exhibit and talked
with him about my own
family background and how
I came to Canada, Ms Fergu-
son told Britains Daily Mail
newspaper.
The prince then said: And
now Putin is doing just about
the same as Hitler.
I must say that I agree
with him and am sure a lot of
people do, she said.
She added: I was very
surprised that he made the
comment as I know they (the
royal family) arent meant to
say these things, but it was
very heartfelt and honest.
The remark made headlines
around the world, and Russian
media said it threatened to
further complicate relations
between Britain and Moscow.
The princes oce, Clarence
House, said in a statement:
We do not comment on pri-
vate conversations.
But we would like to stress
that the Prince of Wales would
not seek to make a public
political statement during a
private conversation.
Ms Ferguson gave a similar
account of the conversation
to the BBC, saying: He
(Charles) made the remark
that now Putin is doing some
of the same things that Hitler
was doing.
They met as the royal
made a tour of the Canadian
Museum of Immigration in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part
of a four-day trip to Canada
with his wife Camilla.
Ferguson told the BBC that
it was just a little remark, I
didnt think it was going to
make such a big uproar.
Members of the royal family
by convention do not com-
ment on political aairs, and
Queen Elizabeth II, Charles
mother, has made a virtue of
keeping her own counsel.
Charles, the future king,
is due to meet with Putin in
France on June 6 as part of the
commemorations marking the
70th anniversary of D-Day.
There was no immediate of-
cial reaction in Moscow.
But popular daily Mosko-
vsky Komsomolets wrote on
its website that the remarks
risk triggering an interna-
tional scandal and complicate
the already clouded relations
between Great Britain and
Russia. It said the timing
of the remarks was badly
chosen ahead of the D-Day
anniversary events, which
will also be attended by the
queen. (AFP)

60 dead as Pakistan air strikes target militants
MIRANSHAH, Wednesday
Pakistani air force jets
pounded Taliban targets in
a restive tribal area near the
Afghan border today, killing
at least 60 people including
insurgent commanders, of-
cials said.
The strikes will come as a
fresh blow to stop-start peace
talks between the government
and the Tehreek-e-Taliban
Pakistan (TTP), which have
made little progress since they
began in February.
There have been a number of
insurgent attacks on security
forces in recent weeks and the
air raids t a familiar pattern
of the armed forces respond-
ing by hitting the insurgents
bases in the tribal areas.
Targets in North Waziris-
tan district, a stronghold of
Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked
militants, were hit in the early
hours of Wednesday morning.

K
enyan bankers have
resolved to adopt a new
method of computing
interest rate on loans aimed
at weeding out hidden charges.
This comes at a time when
the government is turning the
heat on financial institutions
over the high cost of credit that
is hindering investment.
Informed choices
In a statement yesterday, the
Kenya Bankers Association said
its members were initiating the
annual percentage rate pricing
mechanism with cut off date
of July.
As an industry, we are en-
hancing pricing disclosures in
order to enable bank customers
to make more informed choices,
the bankers chief executive of-
cer, Mr Habil Olaka, said.
The annual percentage rate
is computed by taking into ac-
count interest charges as well
as all other compulsory fees
associated with a loan.
In calculating the rate by
fees, the rate is thought to give
borrowers the actual cost of
a loan.
Further, since all banks will
be using a standard formula to
compute the rate, borrowers will
have an easier time comparing
what dierent lenders are of-
fering. Financial institutions
are training their employees
and modifying their loan appli-
cation procedures in readiness
for the migration.
In the wake of a failed push
by MPs to put a cap on interest
rates in 2012, banks resolved
to reform.
The industrys push for greater
transparency within its ranks
is also happening within the
context of increased pressure
from consumer lobbies and the
government.
The Competition Authority
of Kenya has contracted a con-
sultant to point out the cause of
wide spreads between lending
and deposit rates.
The authority is also study-
ing the pricing of other nancial
services and products.
Decision to migrate
Additionally, the Treasury has
been carrying out a study and
has authored a report on the
credit market in Kenya.
However, the study it is yet to
be released to the public.
In its statement, the bankers
said that the decision to use the
annual percentage rate system
will be carried out in partner-
ship with the Central Bank of
Kenya.
These inquiries were oc-
casioned by concerns that the
interest rate spreads were too
high.

out hidden costs in interest rates

Financial
rms
respond to

groups to

of lending
Central Bank prudential
guidelines require that banks
provide a breakdown of the
total cost of credit, including
their charges and third party
costs as well as a loan repay-
ment schedule.
Banks will, in future, provide
customers the annual percent-
age rate, which will take into
account interest rates, bank
charges and fees, and third
party costs including legal
charges, insurance, valuation
fees and government levies.
They will also provide infor-
mation on loan repayment
schedules.

The High Court has
stopped a bank from putting
a cotton mill in Ukambani
under receivership.
Rupa Cotton Mills (EPZ)
Limited in Mavoko Township
had on May 9, 2014 moved
to court under a certicate
of urgency seeking orders
restraining Development
Bank of Kenya from placing
it under over Sh255 million
debt. The company, owned by
over 250 farmers, is seeking
time to resolve the stando
and possibly settle the matter
out of court.
Justice Eric Ogola ordered
that no property will be sold
until June 3 when the case will
be mentioned to record the
settlement reached.
Using company assets
The bank says it advanced
the cotton mill Sh170 million
and an overdraft of Sh85 mil-
lion which it has not paid.
The loan was secured using
company assets.
Development Bank then
informed the miller of its in-
tention to appoint a receiver
manager to take over the
assets of the company as pro-
vided for in their agreement
through correspondence
exchanged between the two
parties.
The cotton miller after-
wards moved to court seeking
orders restraining the bank
from taking over its opera-
tions pending hearing and
determination of the suit.

C
onstruction of the
Mombasa-Nairobi oil
pipeline will be nanced
through a syndicated loan.
Sh43 billion loan will be
acquired by Kenya Pipeline
Company (KPC). KPC man-
aging director, Charles Tanui
said the cost of expanding
capacity of the pipeline also
known as Line 5 is estimated
at Sh53 billion.
The nancing gap of about
Sh10 billion will be bridged
through KPC internally gen-
erated funds.
We are currently evaluating
the tenders. The best priced
bid will nance 80 per cent
of the funds while KPC will
raise 20 per cent from inter-
nal resources, said Mr Tanui
on telephone.
There are three consor-
tiums of commercial banks
short-listed for the loan. The
rst, led by CFC Stanbic Bank
comprises Commercial Bank of
Africa (CBA), Citibank Kenya,
Standard Chartered Bank and
Rand Merchant Bank of South
Africa.
The second comprises Bar-
clays Bank Kenya, Ned Bank
also of South Africa while
Credit Suisse Group AG, a
Switzerland-based multina-
tional nancial services holding
company headquartered in
Zrich that operates the Credit
Suisse Bank and other nan-
cial services investments, has
submitted a solo bid.
In mid-March, KPC re-
quested proposals for a $500
million 10 year loan as it seeks
to build a replacement oil pipe-
line stretching 452 kilometres
between the coastal city and
the capital.
Mr Tanui said costs were
likely to rise to $600 million
after the pipelines specica-
tions were scaled up in favour
of a broader and faster line.

Sh43 billion loan
for the project with

Three consortiums of lend-
ers are bidding to raise
$600 million ( aboutSh43

ational Bank of Kenya has
signed an agreement with
a payments switch provider
and Postbank aimed at increasing
its branch network.
The partnership that includes
Kenswitch will allow National Bank
customers to access 1,200 ATMs
across East and Central Africa, in
addition to the lenders 117 Automated
Teller Machines.
It will also see the lender ride on
the 800-outlet Postbank Mashinani
agency network, as well as access
services from 99 of the banks outlets
across the country.
This partnership is strategic, as it
will allow National Bank customers
access to banking areas where the
bank has not set base, thus eliminat-
ing proximity challenges, Managing
Director Munir Ahmed said.
Kenswitch Managing Director
George Wainaina said the partner-
ship had come at a time when most
nancial institutions are appreciating
the need to leverage on technology to
drive nancial inclusion.
National Bank will thus be linked
to the national payment switch and
be interconnected with participating
banks for its customers to access the
infrastructure.
Innovation and technological
advancements have eased nancial
processes for both institutions as well
as end users, and we have seen the rise
in uptake of mobile and agency bank-
ing services, said Mr Wainaina.
Since its launch, 36 financial
institutions have joined Kenswitch
as it, among other services, allows
users to transfer cash between banks
registered on its shared network on

MINISTRYOF ENVIRON-
MENTAND NATURAL
RESOURCES
To all people keen on the preservation of the countrys
biological diversity, all roads lead to Lamu county at
Mpeketoni. This is the venue of this years national
celebrations.
Among East African islands, the Kenya Ministry of
Environment Water and Natural Resources selected
Lamu, Wasini and Rusinga to commemorate IBD. Lamu
County is located at the Coast with a land area of 6,273
km. The County covers a strip of northeastern coastal
mainland and the Lamu Archipelago, which consists of
numerous islands, which extend about 100km south
from the Somalia border. The most well-known of
the islands is Lamu Island, which is the oldest existing
Swahili Settlement. Lamu Island shelters an extensive
system of creeks, channels and mangrove forests.
Lamu County is well endowed with various natural
resources namely coastal forests, creeks, river streams,
ponds, wetlands, sandy beaches and sand dunes,
mangroves and different wildlife species.
Mangrove forests occur along the coast in the intertidal
area between the land and the sea. The total area of
mangroves is estimated to be between 53,000 and 61,000
hectares, with 67 percent occurring in Lamu County,
and 10 percent each in Kili and Kwale Counties.
This years celebrations come at a time when the island
is in the limelight as a key component of the Lamu Port-
South Sudan-Ethiopia (LAPSSET) corridor transport,
energy and communication integrated project. Even as
the country undertakes this massive project, there is a
need to ensure the development is sustainable and does
not need to loss of the islands rich biological diversity.
For instance, mangroves along Kenyas coast serve as a
habitat for a large number of marine and terrestrial ora
and fauna. Marine fauna commonly found in mangroves
are crustaceans, mollusks, migratory birds, sh and
reptiles. Terrestrial fauna include insects, snakes, frogs
and mammals.
Mangrove trees are important for shoreline stabilization
(erosion control) and ltering of nutrients from land-
based pollution.
Mangrove logs are used for building, and as fuel for
domestic cooking, charcoal making, lime production and
some industrial uses
Mangroves have been conrmed to contribute to carbon
sequestration and therefore important in combating
climate change.
Mangroves in Lamu continue to face human-related
threats such as illegal logging, particularly in areas
outside protected areas. Consequently, according to
residents, the mangroves are depleting rapidly, despite
restrictions by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS).
To ensure that mangroves are sustainably conserved,
local communities should be encouraged to form
community forest associations (CFAs) to co-manage
specic mangrove sections. In addition, the KFS should
spearhead the preparation of a national mangrove
management plan, which is currently lacking.
In the management plan, zoning of mangrove areas
should be done in a way that some areas of mangrove
should be protected from harvesting (non-consumptive)
while other areas can be allowed for controlled
harvesting.
Where mangroves must be cut for economic
development like the case of LAPSSET there should be
corresponding replanting in other areas to compensate
for the mangroves cut.
Also worth special conservation attention is Shela Beach,
one of the few remaining untouched, empty stretches of
coastline in Kenya and serves as water catchment area
for Lamu County
pressure.
My Ministry has therefore put several
measures in place to mitigate these
challenges. These include formulation
comprehensive Environmental Policies
that encompass Sustainable biodiversity
conservation and management, nalizing
climate Policy and bill, reviewing
Environment Management Coordination
Act (EMCA) to be in line with Kenya
Constitution 2010. Further the country
recently ratied the Nagoya Protocol on
Access and Benet Sharing of biodiversity
matters.
The Ministry will continue to engage all
stakeholders, with a view to fostering
partnership in collaboration and synergies
in management of biodiversity and
Natural Resources. In addition we are
committed to fullling our International
obligations as regards to sustainable use
of biodiversity.
Island biodiversity forms an integral
part of our Natural Capital. To ensure
their sustainability and sustainable
development, my Ministry has come
up with a holistic integrated approach
incarnating all the resource users.
Specically we are in the process of
nalizing the integrated coastal zone
management policy to address our fragile
coastal ecosystems to Island included.
The Ministry of
Environment, Water and
Natural Resources is
mandated to conserve,
protect and promote
sustainable environment
management. This
mandate is strengthed
by the Constitution
of Kenya 2010 which
gives citizens the right
to a clean and healthy
environment. It further
obliges the state to,
among others, alongside
equitably sharing the
necessary benets
sustainable exploitation,
utilization, management
and conservation of the environment
and natural resources and ensure
the equitable sharing of the accruing
benets.
The constitution has also devolved
certain functions related to biodiversity
to the county government which include
implementation of specic national
government policy on Natural Resources
and environmental conservation. This
calls for cooperation between devolved
and national government to ensure
compliance with the constitution.
Key departments and agencies that
are charged with responsibility of
ensuring environmental sustainability
include Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya
Forest Service , National Environment
Mamagement Authority, Water Resource
Management Authority, Regional
Develoment Authorities among others
. The ministry is currently working on
harmonizing policies, legislation and
administrative frameworks to avoid
overlaps and provide
clear guidance on their
responsibilities and
mandates.
We are revising and
updating the National
Biodiversity Strategy and
Action Plan (NBSAP) in
line with the constitution,
the outcome of The Future
We Want, the vision 2030
and the strategic plan
of the convention on
biological diversity for
2011-2020. In this regard
counties are encouraged
to cascade the NBSAP
by developing their own
County Biodiversity
Strategies and Action Plan.
Further, the ministry spearheaded the
ratication of the Nagoya Protocol
on Access to Genetic Resources and
Benet Sharing (ABS) which Kenya
ratied recently.The protocol will enable
the country exploit its rich Genetic
Resources and safeguard them from
misappropriation (bio-piracy). The
ministry is also in the process of nalizing
the compilation of the natural Capital
of Kenya with a view to producing an
atlas of Kenyas biological diversity.
The compilation will be a key source of
information that will be used to promote
nature based enterprises and ecosystem
services for sustainable utilization in
support of the aims of vision 2030.
The Ministry will enhance collaboration
with county Governments and
stakeholders in conservation and
sustainable utilization of the rich
biodiversity alongside creating
awareness

Need to protect, maintain and improve

biological diversity underscored
Message from the Principal Secretary
Message from the Cabinet Secretary
T
he International Day for Biological Diversity
is a special occasion to reect on the role
of biodiversity for our lives, and for all living
things on our planet. The United Nations proclaimed
May 22, The International Day for Biological Diversity
(IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of
biodiversity issues.
Kenya is endowed with diverse biodiversity and other
natural resources. Of great importance is our Island
biodiversity which are truly unique as they support
livelihood, tourism and culture.
The Island Biodiversity is faced with numerous
challenges that have continued to threaten their
integrity. These challenges include; invasive alien
species, ecosystem fragmentation and degradation,
climate change variability, pollution and population

Wasini Islands rich biological diversity

attracts international attention
Unesco nominates
Rusinga Island a World
Heritage site.
Rusinga Island is located in Lake Victoria, South West
Kenya within Homa Bay County, Mbita Sub-County.
The island has been nominated by UNESCO as a
potential World Heritage site. The island is linked to
Mbita point on the mainland by a causeway.
This year, International Day for Biological Diversity
celebrations on the island will focus on biodiversity
and food security. This is because deforestation and
land degradation are affecting food security in the
island.
There is a need to strike a balance between the
extraction of resources (sh, trees) and conservation.
Land degradation due to lack of best farming
practices, mono-cropping with maize being the main
staple along with cassava, sand harvesting activities
compounded by lack of awareness of the importance
of ora and fauna by the community.
Depletion of sh stocks due to over-shing in the
waters surrounding the island as well as the spread of
the water hyacinth are real challenges.
The island is rich in fossils and the skull of Proconsul
Africanus found here by anthropologist Mary Leakey.
This anthropoid ape lived on the island three million
years ago.
More than 100 species of bird have been recorded
around the island, some of which are endangered. In
the island are also the giant monitor lizards that are
so huge in comparison to any other monitor lizards in
the entire region.
Wasini Island is one of the small islands
in Kwale with ecological signicance
given numerous discrete ecosystems
which exists within and around it. The
focus during this years International
Day for Biological Diversity in the island
is on biodiversity and tourism as the
area is rich in marine life and even has a
marine national park.
Dolphin chasing is common here and is
a threat to the survival of these playful
ocean creatures.
The islands ecosystems include
mangrove, coral, sea grass beds, sand
and water ecosystem. Coral reefs are
also found around the island.
These ecosystems separately or
collectively provide food, fresh water,
wood, bre, medicines, fuel, tools and
other important raw materials, in
addition to aesthetic, educational and
recreational values. The ecosystems
also support island livelihoods,
economies and cultures.
Most coral populations within the island
are healthy but there are a few sites
which have macro-algae dominating
over hard corals. The island is dominated
by extensive and soft substrate habitats,
with small hard substrate or patch reef
sites around which marine biodiversity
and biomass, and therefore shing
congregate. Mangrove ecosystem also
exists in the island. The mangroves
provide ideal environment for breeding
of some sh species.
The island largely supports livelihoods
of the community through shing. Most
of the shing is carried out in lagoons
protected by a fringing reef with sh
being caught in sea grass, sand and
coral habitats. The marine species
that inhabit the coral reef and sea
grass ecosystems and are commonly
shed include coastal pelagic, lobster
and other marine invertebrates such
as octopus. These coral reef-based
sheries are multi species sheries,
with over 200 species landed by the
shers. Most visitors to Kisite Marine
Park usually take lunch at restaurants
in Wasini Village and visit the mangrove
boardwalk.
The Wasini community has since
realized the value
of the island
and established
C o m m u n i t y
Conservation Area
(CCA). The Wasini CCA is located at the
sea front of the Wasini village starting
at PiliPipa Restaurant (Domo la Vumba)
on the North and extending westwards
through Masulini to Kijiwe Jahazi in the
south.
The CCA comprises two main areas:
the mangrove area on the Wasini
Island and the coral reef around the
Island. The CCA provides protection
for examples of a wide range of Wasini
Island marine habitats and an area of
outstanding scenery both on land and
underwater which will enhance more
on tourism and develop as a scientic
and educational resource.
If the area is effectively protected from
shing and other damaging impacts it
could become much more attractive to
visitors and locals alike and develop as
a scientic and educational resource.
The Wasini community supports the
development of the CCA because it
meets their objective of enhancing
ecotourism in the village and its aquatic
environment. They are keen to combine
the boardwalk currently run by Wasini
women group with the historical sites on
the village together with the snorkeling
site at the village sea front as part of
one leisure and education programme
for visitors and locals.

The island complex has a large concentration of rock
art sites conned to three areas within the Island and
remain outstanding in terms of quality and diversity.
Due to rapid population increase, most of the
biodiversity has been wiped out through deforestation
mostly targeting hilltops for biomass. 90% of the
population relies on charcoal and fuel wood hence
increasing the rate of biodiversity loss. Most of the
indigenous ora and fauna are under serious threat
due to increase in population and survival means.
The Mfangano-Rusinga Island Complex has continued
to bear symbolic and religious signicance to the
current occupants of the Island. Its history is still told
by the elders. The sites represent the link between
the local community and their God. They believe that
the sacred groves for example, warn them of the
impending danger, usually by producing a distinct
noise or by having a fog overcast.
Celebration of the day on this island will help create
awareness to the larger population of the Island and
other residents within the County. Homabay County
is home to several unique biodiversity species and
features including Simbi Nyaima with the lesser
amingoes, Ruma National Park and Ondago wetland
all gazzetted under the Kenya wildlife Service.
There is thus a need for the world biodiversity day to
be held in the island as a means of sensitization and
awareness creation within the island of the crucial
importance of the biodiversity in the region and
the need to preserve it for themselves and future
generations.

Adeso and CARE International received funding from the European Union (EU) for a 48 month program that seeks to reduce
hunger and food insecurity by improving rangeland conditions in Puntland, Somalia. The program, titled Your Environment is Your
Life (Deegaankaagu waa noloshaada) is improving the state of natural resources through implementation of land rehabilitation
and restoration work on degraded rangelands, improving sustainable use of natural resources through community based range
management programs, integration of environmental considerations into all economic planning and programming activities in
the region and galvanizing community support for environmental protection and sustainable use of resources. The program
will also improve the communities capacity to avert resource-based conflicts and to protect their rangeland resources through
implementation of local customary laws, establishment of community based environmental courts and building the capacity of
communities to prevent misuse of natural resources at local level. Furthermore, the program will support the establishment of
alternative sources of energy that create jobs and reduce the current dependency on firewood and charcoal.
Adeso and CARE seek the services of a photographer/videographer to visually document the current environmental situation in
the programs areas of operation, showing how environmental degradation impacts the lives of Somalis, as well as document
the projects achievements. The pictures and short videos will be used to create awareness about the devastating impacts of
environmental degradation in Somalia, but also document community-led interventions to restore the environment to its natural
state.
Given the length of the project, this work is expected to be repeated on a yearly basis, and in the same locations, in order to be able
to demonstrate the interventions impacts over time. Similarly, it is expected that the same communities, families, and/or individuals
will be revisited in subsequent years to demonstrate the impacts on peoples lives.

Today marks one year since the lord called you to be
with Him in his glorious home.We learned that when
a loved one becomes a memory then that memory
becomes a treasure. God has been our comforter,
refuge, strength and a very present help (Psalms 46:
1). He has been our shepherd and Lord. He has never
left us nor forsaken us. This far it has taken his hand
and we glorify his name.
We the Chebiis family take this opportunity to
sincerely appreciate our family members, church
Christian revival, friends, neighbors, Isaiah former
colleagues of Kenya power and all well wishers who
supported us both spiritually and nancially. May the
lord who sees in secret bless you abundantly.
Isaiah you are fondly missed by your dear Wife
Rebecca, children Margaret, Mercy and Moses.
Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, parents in-law,
brothers in-law, friends and relatives.
As a family we continue to honour you and carry on with your memory verse (Joshua 24:15) as
for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
In Gods arms you rest in our hearts you live forever. For whether we live, we live unto the lord,
and whether we die, we die unto the lord; whether we live therefore or die we are the Lords
(Romans 14:8).
We love you but God loves you the most

N
airobi City Stadium will undergo
renovation lasting a year that will
cost some Sh90 million.
Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero made
the announcement at the stadium yester-
day where he also conrmed the facility
will remain closed for the entire period
of the repairs that begin in July.
Of this amount, the county govern-
ment will contribute Sh25 million while
the rest will come from friends and
stakeholders in form of grants, the
governor said.
Our plan is to ensure the facility is
upgraded to international standards so
it can host high calibre football matches.
This will also mean the county and host-
ing teams realize higher revenues.
The renovations will involve construct-
ing a bigger stand at the VIP area in
addition to another one at the Russia area.
The articial turf is worn out and will also be re-
placed. More toilets and a new parking lot are also
on the way. In addition, the whole venue, includ-
ing perimeter fence and walls will be repaired and
repainted.
Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia,
Kenya Commercial Bank and two lower tier league
sides, Mahakama FC and Kariobangi Sharks will
now need to look for alternative venues for their
home matches.
This will be the second time inside a decade that
the stadium is undergoing a facelift. The rst was in
March 2009 when world football governing body Fifa
funded the laying of an articial turf at the facility at
a cost of Sh35 million.
Our plan is to make sure
this facility is upgraded to
international standards

The visiting Indian team Bhavsin-

Kenya select XI by four wickets at
Ruaraka Sports Club on Tuesday.
Batting rst after winning the toss,
CK set a target of 207 by the time all
their batsmen were sent back to the
pavilion in the 45th over. Alex Obanda
top scored for Kenya with 45.
The CK side started their innings
on a high note, batsmen Obanda
and Morris Ouma (29) sharing an
opening stand of 69, the best part-
nership for the side. It was broken
when Ouma was stumped by wicket
keeper, Tarang Gohel of the bowling
of Dharmendra Jadeja (2/38).
Elijah Otieno who was unbeaten
on 26 runs, was the only other CK
batsman who posted meaningful
figures on the scoreboard. Other
Bhavsinhji bowlers who got wickets
were Balkrishna Jadeja (2/32), Div-
yaraj Chauhan(2/39), Satyajeet Gohil
(2/37) and Abhiraj Jhala (1/34).

Bahamas relays a
chance for Kenya
to revive sprints
K
enyan athletes
are known for
their prowess
in the middle and
long distance run-
ning which they have
largely dominated
albeit with some opposition from
Ethiopians.
However, the inaugural Bahamas
World Relays Championships pro-
vides a new front for our athletes to
shine, this time round, in sprints.
Investments have already been put
into plans to revive sprints in Kenya
and the future is no doubt bright.
Our next step will however de-
pend on how we will handle the
Bahamas results, whether good or
otherwise.
Safaricom has played a key role
by pledging handsome cash rewards
for the winning teams. The company
will give Sh1 million for gold med-
allists, Sh600,000 for silver and
Sh400,000 for bronze.
Kenya has sent teams in mens
4x200, 4x400m, 4x800m and
1,500m while women will take part in
the 4 x800m and 4x1,500m races.
While I am almost sure of victory
in the 4x800m and 4x1,500m races
for both men and women considering
the calibre of runners in the teams,
I am not sure of the mens 4x400m
team, where Kenyans have not done
so well in the past. It will therefore
be a breath of fresh air if our runners
can do well in this event and take us
back to their glory days.
Ready to die for a medal
And the athletes will be ready to die
for a medal in Bahamas, considering
what is at stake. Other than the Sa-
faricom goodies, the mens 4x400m
and 2x200m teams have a chance
to qualify for World Championships
in Beijing next year.
However, to achieve the feat, we
must put our minds together. We
need this success so much because
it will also encourage Safaricom to
invest more in sprints in Kenya.
With runners such as Common-
wealth Games 400m champion
Mark Mutai, victory is possible for
Kenya. Mutai has done it before, at
Club Games as well as at the Af-
rican Championships. The United
States and Jamaica remain the major
threats, but I am sure the likes of Eu-
nice Sum and Janeth Jepkosgei will
deliver in the womens 4x800m gold.
Silas Kiplagat and Asbel Kiprop are
also a sure bet in the 4x1500m.

K
ansas City defender Lawrence
Olum has for long haboured the
dream of representing Kenya at
the international level but had to wait
until last Sunday when he nally got a
chance to don the national colours.
During the match against Comoros
at the Nyayo National Stadium the
versatile 6 foot 2 defender put up a
solid display in defence as the home
team posted a hard fought 1-0 win in
a preliminary round tie of the 2015
Africa Cup of Nations qualiers. His
compact game gave coach Adel Am-
rouche something to think about the
players future in the national team.
Commitment to team
Olum, who at one time risked
missing the match, demonstrated his
commitment to the team by purchasing
his own air ticket after local football
authorities failed to send him one.
It is always an honour to represent
the country and when I was called up
I had to stand up for my country with
or without receiving the air tickets,
said the 29-year-old utility defender
in Nairobi. On whether he would heed
future call ups, the soft-spoken player
with a heavy American accent said:
You never know when you will be
called up. I am available whenever the
team needs me. This is my country
and I will always be proud to represent
it, he said. Olums seless act is in
sharp contrast to that of some of his
senior colleagues in the national team.
Former skipper Dennis Oliech, Inter
Milans MacDonald Mariga and Racing
Genk winger Ayub Timbe have all had
run ins with the teams handlers over
air ticket refunds in the past.
Meanwhile, a select team of former
Inter Milan players are expected in
the country tomorrow for a three-
day visit. During the tour the team
will play a build-up match against
Harambee Stars at the Nyayo National
Stadium on Sunday starting at 4pm.

Two test rugby matches be-
tween Kenya and Portugal that
were scheduled for June 7 and 11
at the RFUEA grounds have been
cancelled over security concerns.
The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU)
vice chairman Philip Jalango said
the Portuguese foreign aairs min-
istry in Lisbon had advised their
rugby team not to travel to Nairobi
following security advisory issued
last week by foreign embassies.
Jalango said the news was re-
layed to the union by Portugal team
manager Carlos Polainas, who said
they were still waiting for further
instructions from their ministry but
expressed his disappointment.
Kenya was to use the test
matches to gauge themselves
ahead of the 2014 Confederation
of African Rugby Division 1A Cham-
pionship from June 28 to July 5 in
Antananarivo, Madagascar.
Its a big blow since Portugal
should have given our team the
much needed exposure just coming
after Kenyas participation in the
Vodacom Cup in South Africa last
month, said Jalango. Portugal are
currently placed 24th while Kenya
is 34th in the IRB rankings.
Kenya, who are the Africa Cup
champions, are up against 2011
Rugby World Cup finalists Na-
mibia (22nd), Zimbabwe (31st)
and hosts Madagascar (36th) in
the continental event that will
also double up as the 2015 Rugby
World Cup qualier.
Jalango said plans are under way
to organise for another friendly in-
ternational match against a yet to
be named side.
One country from Europe and
another one from the Far East that
is ranked higher than Portugal have
expressed their willingness to come
and play against Kenya. But we are
keeping their identities condential
until they conrm, said Jalango.
At the same time, the IRB Ref-
erees High Performance camp that
was to run from June 12 to 21 in Nai-
robi has also been shelved. This is
after the Rugby World Cup referee
Nigel Owens and Nigel Whitehouse,
who were to oversee the process
withdrew over the same security
concerns.

At Machakos Kenyatta Stadium,
Sofapaka posted an emphatic 3-0 win
over Bandari. John Baraza was the
toast of Sofapaka grabbing a brace
which sandwiched Antony Ndolos
goal.
Stuttering campaign

Mathare United and Top Fry Nakuru
settled for a 1-1 draw. Bernard Omondi
put Mathare ahead in the 57th minute
before Daniel Kamau replied for the
visitors in the 67th minute. In Nairobi,

goal down to oor Thika United 2-1.
On loan striker Michael Olunga put
Thika ahead in the rst minute but
strikes from Roosevelt Blatty and
Edwin Misiko within the rst twenty

ants Committee has awarded Thika
United the abandoned match against

D
utch ace Robin van Persie is
counting on the World Cup to
act as a cure for a complicated
season at Manchester United.
For the rst time in my profes-
sional career I finished a season
without qualifying for a European
competition, the 30-year-old
striker told AFP.
In his rst season at United
under Alex Ferguson, Van Per-
sie scored 26 league goals
as the team secured
the English Premier
League
title.
However, the second
season was a disaster as Britains
wealthiest club slumped to their
lowest finish since 1990 and new
manager David Moyes lasted only
10 months.
It was a complicated season.
Nothing worked for us, Van Persie
bemoaned. The striker had regular in-
juries which culminated in a sprained
knee in March that ruled him out for
six weeks.
I was never worried that I could
miss the World Cup, but it is true
that this injury came at really the
worst time, he told Dutch media
last week.
Brazil may be the last chance for
Van Persie, who made his name at
Feyenoord and became an icon at
Arsenal before his 24 million ($40
million, 29.5m euro) move to Man-
chester in 2012, to claim a title on the
international stage.
Reputation secured
His reputation is already secure in
England, where he is the 10th high-
est scorer in Premier League history
with 134 goals.
As one of the most feared strikers
in the world he was the top scorer
of any European nation in World
Cup qualifying with 11 goals he
has become the centre-piece of the
Dutch team.
Last year he was made team captain,
as Louis van Gaal, the Dutch coach
who has just been named as the new
Manchester manager, made a U-turn
in his attitude to the striker.
At the start of qualifying, van Gaal
had named Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as the
spearhead of his strike force.
The Dutch reached the nal of the
2010 World Cup, but van Persie and
his team-mates had a disappoint-
ing 2012 European Championship
in Ukraine, where the Netherlands
crashed out in the group stage.
Van Persie bounced back, though,
as Van Gaal readily admitted.
He has such talent that I cannot
get by without him, the coach said
after van Persie scored three goals
against Hungary in October 2013
to become the Netherlands all-time
leading scorer.
He has 42 goals from 83 inter-
national matches, but while he has
regularly shone in friendlies and
qualifying for the big tournaments

that the World Cup will
help me to get rid of
this label (not scoring
in knockout stage of a
major tournament)
Robin van Persie
he has yet to really make his mark
on a World Cup or European Cham-
pionship nals.
He scored just once, against Cam-
eroon, during the group stage at the
2010 World Cup, and also notched a
solitary goal at Euro 2012. He has
never scored in the knockout stage
of a major tournament.
I hope that the World Cup will
help me to get rid of this label, he
told Dutch media.
Van Persie says he has become
less selfish as his responsibilities
have grown within the team.
He scored a spectacular goal to give
the Netherlands a 1-1 draw against
Ecuador in a warm-up match last
Saturday, controlling the ball on his
chest before ring in on the volley.
However, Van Persie preferred to
give credit to his young team-mate
Jordy Clasie for the pass that gave him
the chance. His rise in the team has
been at the expense of Wesley Sneijder,
who lost the captains armband and
who has regularly been a rival within
the Dutch squad. (AFP)

Madrid
Atletico Madrid face Real Ma-
drid in the Champions League
nal on Saturday attempting
to put to bed one of the clubs
most painful nights.
Los Rojiblancos missed out
on the European Cup by a mat-
ter of seconds to what became
an all-conquering Bayern Mu-
nich side 40 years ago.
Bayern, featuring Franz
Beckenbauer and Gerd Mueller,
went on to win three European
Cups in a row, and yet they al-
most never won the rst, as
they went into the nal minute
of extra time 1-0 down.
The goal had been scored by
Atleticos greatest player of all-
time, Luis Aragones, just six
minutes from the end of extra
time, but the Spaniards were
denied when Miguel Reina
father of current Napoli
goalkeeper Pepe Reina let
Hans-Georg Schwarzenbecks
hopeful eort slip through his
grasp.
In the days before penalty
shoot-outs, Bayern went on to
win 4-0 in the replay in Brussels
just twoays later.
On Sunday, an estimated
200,000 Atletico Madrid fans
crowded round the Neptuno
fountain and surrounding
streets in the centre of the
Spanish capital to celebrate
their sides rst La Liga title
in 18 years.
However, amongst chorus
upon chorus of chanting, it
wasnt inspirational manager
Diego Simeone (pictured) or
top scorer Diego Costa who was
the most prominent name, but
that of Aragones.
The man who also coached
Spain to the first of three
successive major tournament
victories at the European
Championship in 2008, died on
February 1 this year aged 75.
Since then he has become
an inspiration for arguably
the most successful season in

H
aving won the last three major
international tournaments, it
is worth wondering if reigning
champions Spain might nally come
a cropper at this World Cup.
Their remarkable run of success
simply has to come to an end even-
tually, and there are concerns that
their style of football epitomised
by the ageing Xavi Hernandez is
already outdated.
Spain followed the Barcelona way of
playing to win the 2010 World Cup and
Euro 2012. However, the Catalans
possession-based game, popularly
known as tiki-taka, was made to
look utterly one-dimensional as they
were taken apart by Bayern Munich,
all power and fast transitions from
defence to attack, in the Champions
League semi-nals in 2013.
Fast forward a year and Bayern,
with Guardiola in charge, were playing
the tiki-taka and being torn apart on
the counter-attack by Real Madrid at
the same stage. Recently, as a result,
it has become popular to mourn the
death of that style.
Alternative ways of playing have
emerged at club level. Borussia
Dortmunds high-octane counter-
pressing game took them to the
2013 Champions League nal, while
Atltico Madrid have achieved extraor-
dinary success with a 4-4-2 formation
centred around defensive discipline,
mideld industry and the brute at-
tacking force of Diego Costa.
Renounce possession
Jose Mourinho has taken things to
extremes at times. His approach is
often that if you willingly renounce
possession you will make fewer mis-
takes and therefore win the game.
But to say that tiki-taka is dead
is to jump to conclusions. After all,
until 2011, Guardiolas Barcelona
mixed their mesmerising short
passing with a crucial element,
a high-energy pressing game.
And Guardiolas Bayern won
the double in Germany in the

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli played
down a racist incident aimed at striker
Mario Balotelli (left) at a pre-World
Cup training camp but striker Ciro
Immobile said players have to help
stamp out the scourge.
AC Milan striker Balotelli was
believed to be the target of a racist
insult from a youth as players were
put through their paces during the
second day of a 10-day training camp
at Coverciano in Florence.
When asked about the incident,
Prandelli said: I didnt hear what was
said. All I heard were pleasantries.
Police stationed at the national team
centre intervened and although the in-
cident did not appear to faze Balotelli
the striker hit out afterwards.
Only in Rome or in Florence do
you here these kinds of things, said
Balotelli, who has been subjected to
racist taunts sporadically during his
Serie A career.
Italian football federation (FIGC)
president Giancarlo Abete called the
incident unacceptable.
It was an isolated incident from
someone who should not even have
been there, but its unacceptable, said
Abete, speaking from Milan.
Immobile, one of seven strikers at
the 30-strong training camp and hop-
ing to make Prandellis nal 23-man

tomatic of widespread racism and
discrimination in the country.

T
he electoral com-

bowed to pressure
and launched a countrywide

after it was accused of se-
cretly listing them.
Though the exercise was
open to the public from
April 15, the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC) only
made official announce-
ment about it yesterday
following an outcry over
secret voter registration
around the country.
Due to constrained re-
sources, the commission
has agged o continuous
voter registration at all the
IEBC constituency oces
across the country, read a
statement from the com-
mission.
On Tuesday, its vice-chair-
person Mahiri Zaja (below)
revealed that voter registra-
tion has been going on for
over a month, but claimed it
had no money for creating
awareness on the exercise.
We dont even have
funding so we said well do
it quietly, Ms Zaja told the
Justice and Legal Affairs
committee at Parliament.
She also told the commit-
tee that the turnout has been
dismal because people are
not aware of the listing.
The commission yesterday
announced that voter regis-
tration was ongoing in all its
290 constituency oces.
Eligible voters
The commission is
hereby calling upon all
eligible Kenyans who have
attained the age of 18 years
and above and are not reg-
istered as voters to visit any
of the IEBC constituency of-
ces across the country to
register, said a statement
by Communications and

ine passports or Identity

Seeking sanity
at Ardhi House
Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu is
promising a massive reorganisation of the
processes at Kenyas land registries. Will the
Sh3 billion she plans to spend end the fraud?
coverstory
Automation of land documents
use of computers, information
technology, and online services are
the norm in land administration
worldwide.
Countries that have gone this way
have had a complete transformation
of the way land registries operate.
Uganda, for instance, in the 1990s set
out to modernise its registries and
has never looked back.
Its system allows the electronic
capturing of all land documents
and online delivery of registration
functions.
The proponents of automation
argue that it impacts positively on
employee productivity and improves
eciency and decision-making,
besides allowing better management
and control of operations.

T
he Ministry of Lands has set
out on a three-year project to
have all land documents in
digital form. It is estimated
that the programme that will aect
such documents as title deeds and
leases will cost Sh3 billion. Two
consultant rms have been hired to
undertake the process that Lands
Cabinet secretary Charity Ngilu
describes as a game changer in the
land business.
If all goes according to plan and the
promises are fullled, land documents
will in future be accessed at the click
of a button, meaning that searches
which usually take several days will
be available in minutes. This is already
happening in Rwanda and Uganda,
East Africas model states on land
documentation and management.
The two rms hired to take us there
were, incidentally, involved in the
digitisation of data and processes in
both countries.
Before going full throttle, Kenyas
Lands ministry decided to rst test the
waters by shutting down its operations
for 10 working days to arrange les
and trace those that were deemed lost.
The exercise, the ministry reported,
gobbled up Sh67 million. The money
was spent on, among other things,
hiring students to reorganise the ling
system and security teams.
When the ministry, under the orders
of Ms Ngilu, closed its doors to the
public on 5 May, the Central, Nairobi,
and records registries at Ardhi House
were aected. Last weekend, a beaming
Ms Ngilu came out to announce that
the disruption was worth it as her team
had recovered about a million lost
les that had either been misplaced
or were mishandled by accounting
ocers.
Such lack of professionalism, Ms
Ngilu lamented, was the reason it
took upwards of 70 days to locate
files. She added that the clean-up
and reorganisation would be rolled
out in the counties as well.
While a recent report by the World
Bank indicates that it takes more than
70 days for one to do land searches
and acquire a title deed in Kenya, the
Ministry of Lands says the period
has been slashed to a maximum
of 16 days. And, after complete
digitisation which will replace the

That sounds like everyones sweetest
dream. However, not everyone is
patting Ms Ngilu on the back. The
National Land Commission (NLC),
chaired by Mr Mohammed Swazuri,
is one of its biggest critics. It says that
even though Ms Ngilus intentions have
been trumpeted in the media as the
way to Canaan, they are not only an
illegality, but also a paved highway
to hell.
The commission, reacting to the
closure of registries in Nairobi last
week, said the decision was unjustied
as it denied its members access to their
place of work and the public services.
The commission also raised questions
about the deployment of university
students at Ardhi House, arguing that
outsiders could be used to make a
mess of an already bad situation.
However, the matter was resolved
through arbitration following a court
order.
That, however, is not all that Mr
Swazuri has been crying foul over. He
says the budget for his commission

has been slashed without explanation
while that of the Ministry of Lands has
been increased.
The NLC says its allocation for
this nancial year has been cut from
Sh1.9 billion to Sh652 million. The
Parliamentary Budget Oce agreed
that although the House had resolved
to allocate Sh1.9 billion to Mr Swazuris
team, the amount was reduced by Sh1.3
billion. At the same time, a brief given
to the Parliamentary Committee on
Land indicates that the Ministry of
Lands estimates had been increased
from Sh15.5 billion to Sh21.7 billion.
Ms Ngilu has said that the additional
Sh3 billion allocated to her ministry for
its transformation will be accounted
for to the last penny.
Among the things the money will
be spent on are the transformation of
the ling system to digital form and
redesigning of the ministrys website.
The money will also be used to pay
the two rms awarded the digitisation
contract and to buy new computers
for sta.
Some Sh25 million will be used to
purchase electronic data management
software (EDMS), which will be used
to digitise documents and create an
interactive platform with other State
databases such as the Kenya Revenue
Authoritys massive site.
The two rms will have to scan all
the les and capture the data in the
computer. This alone is estimated to
cost Sh20 million.
Ms Ngilu on Sunday acknowledged
that businesses had suered great
losses when the ministry decided to
close its doors on 5 May. However, she
said the action was necessary.
Although some clients have incurred
losses following the temporary closure
of the ministry, we needed to do the
audit to prevent land fraud, said Ms
Ngilu.
The Ministry of Lands has in recent
years been in the spotlight over
allegations of missing les, double
allocation of land, and fraud.
Ardhi Houses response has always
been the same: Modernise the ling
system.
Many hope that the money being
pumped into Ardhi House will help
end this perennial problem once and

ADVERSE SECURITY reports in the international
media could be contributing to a slowdown in the
sale of luxury properties in the country.
According to The Knight Frank Prime Global
Cities Index, which tracks changes in the prices of
high-end properties in 32 cities, luxury property
prices in Nairobi gained by only one per cent
between January and March 2014.
The media reports, the index believes, have led
to loss of condence among international buyers
while local buyers have been constrained due to
high mortgage rates, leaving only cash buyers in
the game.
Knight Frank Kenya managing director Ben
Woodhams says it is dicult to attract foreign
buyers at the moment.
It would be very hard, for example, to sell a
property to a United Kingdom national when they
are being told the country is not safe, he says.
According to the index, the annual price gain
up to March 2014 was 4.2 per cent for this class
of property. This compares poorly to 2011, when
the Wealth Report by the same company said the
country had the fastest growth in prices for luxury
properties.
At the time, the price of luxury property rose
by 25 per cent in Nairobi and 20 per cent in
Mombasa, with the capital city topping the global
index.
According to the Hass Property Price Index for
the same quarter released a few weeks ago, high-
end properties are driving the sales market, but
these are dominated by cash buyers.
As it is, we are limited to cash purchases, but
if mortgage rates were lower, we would be seeing
more activity, says Mr Woodhams.
He adds that while the market might survive
without international buyers, growth will be slow.
Sales of holiday homes in Mombasa and other
coastal areas, where foreign buyers are active
participants, might be particularly hard hit.
International buyers can, indeed, drive the
market as Cape Town, the only other African
city in the index, has proven. The coastal city has
gained 2.3 per cent in the rst quarter.
Cape Town is one market to watch in 2014. The
weaker rand is attracting buyers from Europe and
elsewhere in Africa, including wealthy Nigerians,
says the report.
Even as buyers choices begin to be inuenced
by the countrys state of security, it remains to
be seen if this will aect investment in property
developments.
Foreign rms have invested substantially to
develop properties worth billions of shillings, with
malls being particularly favoured.
These are, however, seen as areas likely to
attract terrorists attention and now come with
extra terror insurance costs and additional
expenses to maintain security.

Chinese rms to
revamp city estates
Two Chinese companies have signed
memoranda of understanding with City
Hall to put up 55,000 apartments in
Eastlands, beginning February next year.
China Sichuan Wande Investment Group
expects to put up 40,000 apartments
while China Railways 18th Bureau Group
will construct the rest. The units, to be built
in Ziwani, Pangani, Majengo, Kaloleni and
Shauri Moyo estates, will be sold to city
residents at 25 per cent below than the
market price. The companies will nance
the projects while City Hall will provide
the land where the dilapidated estates
currently sit. China Sichuan will provide
Sh17.2 billion spread across ve years for
the project, which will also include support
infrastructure and parking complexes.
Meanwhile, China Railways will spend
Sh1 billion to put up its 15,000 units. The
current occupants of the houses will be
relocated to the new buildings, which will
be constructed in phases, county ocials
say, adding that that none of them will be
displaced.
Grenadier Ltd to
build in Runda
Grenadier Ltd, a company associated with
former attorney-general Charles Njonjo and
billionaire businessman Baloobhai Patel, is
set to build a Sh1 billion estate in Runda.
The two are shareholders in Grenadier, the
holding company of the Sankara Hotel
Group. The developments include a hotel,
an oce block and a shopping centre, all
adjacent to Mae Ridge, Runda, a Sh2 billion
housing project being built by Pan Africa
Insurance Holdings. Grenadier, a private
investment company, will carry out the
project through its subsidiary, The Grove
Limited.
Counties warm up
to ESP panels
Counties have warmed up to idea of using
expanded polystyrene (EPS) technology
to reduce the cost of putting up oces
and residential units. According to National
Housing Corporation General Manager
Mr Andrew Saisi, Nyeri County is already
using the panels supplied by NHC while
Lamu, Kitui and Bungoma counties
have shown interest. The portable panels
manufactured at NHCs Sh1 billion plant
in Mavoko, Machakos County, are said to
reduce construction costs by up to 30
per cent and also halve the time taken.
This could prove particularly helpful
for counties that are building or have a
shortage of oces and sta houses. The
EPS panels are made from beads imported
from China, India and Germany, which are
extracted from petrochemicals. They are
used together with wire mesh to build
walls, oosr and slabs instead of stones
and timber.
Kitengela to get a
cement factory
A Kitengela company is awaiting approvals
by NEMA and Machakos County to
set up a small cement factory. Karsan
Ramji & Sons plans to construct a Sh350
million cement grinding plant witha daily
production capacity of 700 tonnes by
the end of the year. Its cement will be
packaged in 50kg bags and will compete
with established products from Bamburi,
East African Portland Company Ltd,
Athi River and Mombasa Cement, who
dominate the market. Despite market
saturation that has seen prices of cement
stagnate, more factories are being lined
up in the country, with Sanghi, an Indian
company, also to set up base in West
Pokot.

T
here is something
really classy about
tiles. Whether it is their
shiny, almost reective
surface, or smooth feel, nothing
does a better job of showing o
the aesthetics of surface nishes
in a house than tiles.
However, most homeowners
do not make the best use of
tiles, says Ms Sarah Ndirangu,
a freelance interior designer.
Yet, with a little creativity
and information, they can
easily change this, given that
dierent types of tiles are mode
for dierent uses. She regrets
that many homeowners use the
same, boring type and pattern of
tiles all around their homes.
Over and above the other
important values of tiles, they
are extremely good at bringing
out the aesthetics in a house,
she says, adding that tiles
make the oor look better while
making the walls (if tiled) more
visually appealing.
She says this is very important
because tiles, if well used
and this includes using the
appropriate patterns provide
a striking background for your
wall hangings or carpet and rugs.
Besides, she adds, tiles are easy
to clean, durable, and eco-friendly
(ceramic tiles are made from clay
while glass tiles are made from
recycled glass).
When using tiles to several
factors should be taken into
consideration. Most important is
the cost, because the cost of tiles
varies greatly, depending on the
material from which it is made,
among other considerations.
One should also consider the
use to which the tiles will be put,
for instance, whether they are
to be used on the walls, in the
shower or for ooring. If the tiles
are to be used for ooring, it is
important to consider whether
the area is high or low trac.
Ms Ndirangu says this is
important because high-trac
areas require different tiles
from low-traffic ones, while
small rooms require bright tiles
because they create an illusion
of space.
Ms Ndirangu says tiles come
in a variety of materials, with
some appropriate for use both
at home and in the oce. They
also come in variety designs,
so a homeowner or developer
needs to know the various tiles
and the uses for which they are
most suitable in order to make
an informed decision.
Ceramic tiles
These are tiles made from clay
with certain additives such as
feldspar and water, which is red
at extremely high temperatures.
Ceramic tiles come in a glazed
and unglazed form.
Says Ms Ndirangu: Glazed
tiles have a smooth nish and
can be slippery, but you can have
them treated to make them non-
slippery. They can be used on
walls and oors.
Meanwhile, non-glazed tiles
are more suitableto commercial
and industrial settings. They are
also preferred in laundries and
utility rooms.
Ceramic tiles are stain-proof
and and do not absorb water,
so they can be used almost
anywhere, including on the walls,
in replaces and for ooring.
Ceramic tiles are also
cheap and the most commonly
preferred for surface nishing,
says Ms Ndirangu. However,
she notes, they break easily and
require careful handling.

Porcelain tiles
Although porcelain tiles closely
resemble and are made using a
method similar to ceramic tiles,
they are much denser and less
porous. This makes them more
durable than ceramic tiles, so
they can be used both inside
and outside the house.
Granite tiles
Granite is a naturally occurring
product that is made of large
mineral grains that t tightly
together. Granite tiles are
extremely hardy and durable.
They are suitable, not just for
floors, but are also used on
countertops and around baths
and sinks.
Tiling your bathroom
Non-porous and slip resistance
tiles are perfect for bathrooms,
says Ms Sarah Ndirangu. White
is popular in bathrooms since
it gives them a simple and
appealing personality while
keeping them fresh looking
and easy to clean.
However, if you however want
to experiment with exotic looks,
go for bathroom tiles with deep,
colours and vibrant patterns.
Controlling the kitchen heat
Think of a rough, sand-surface
nishing daubed with grease and
oil, and then think what it would
take to maintain a kitchen with
such a finish, suggests Ms
Ndirangu. When you picture
that, she adds, you realise that
it would be an excellent idea to
tile your kitchen.
Tiling makes your kitchen
easy to clean, Ms Ndirangu
says, adding that in commercial
kitchens (such as in hotels) re-
rated tiles (tiles treated to avoid
make them heat-resistant) should
be put around the oven area.
Indoors
To give the inside of your house
a bright and welcoming look, it is
a good idea to use tiles. Places
such as the lounge, bedrooms,
staircases and the hallway
normally look good when tiled
and its easy to complement
the tiling with other decorative
objects in the house.
She says that, since
complementing is important in
interior design, home owners
should have in mind the colour
scheme of their house when
choosing tiles to ensure that
they blend with the other interior
aspects.
Ms Ndirangu notes that tiling
is evolving fast, with the modern
trend concerned not just with the
design, but also the material and
quality of tiles.
She says that it is now possible
to engrave tiles using a special
laser machine.

hen planning to hold parties
or other gatherings at
home, many people nd it
a challenge to comfortably
host the guests in their living rooms
which, typically, tend to be small. However,
interior designer Mr Joshua Ireri of Design
Fusions says this is simply because they do
not consider the outside space usable.
Mr Ireri says that by merging your
indoors with the outside, you get free space
that you had probably never thought of
using. Besides, he adds, it enhances the
appearance of your living room by making
it look more spacious.
Although you can extend the indoors
to the outside from any part of the house,
the focal point is usually the living room,
Mr Ireri notes. The basic way to go about
this is to have a sliding or folding door on
one wall. However, he notes that the most
appropriate wall for this is the one facing
the garden because it best brings out the
aesthetic features.
After you have put glass on the folding
door, the next thing to do is match the
spaces, so that the outdoor looks like an
extension of the indoors, he says.
Use the same ooring
Using the same ooring is the main way
of matching spaces between the indoors
and the outside.If you have tiles on the
oor inside the house, the oor on the
outside should ahave similar tiles, he
says, adding that the same rule should
apply to carpeting.
For a seamless extension of the indoors
outside, he adds, the oors of the two areas
should be level. Mr Ireri says this is critical
because, even if you install the best sliding
or folding doors on the wall between the two
areas, the outdoor will always look dierent
if the oor is higher or lower than that of
the living room.
Garden furniture
Often, the outside has a protruding ceiling
of, say 1.5 metres, that covers the porch
or veranda. By arranging garden furniture
in this space, Mr Ireri says, you achieve a
seamless furniture arrangement that merges
the living room with the outside.
The thing to remember is that the
furniture should be placed in such a way
that the arrangement in the living room
extends to the garden furniture on the other
side of the glass door. says Mr Ireri.
This makes the two sets of furniture
appear unied, and in the process makes
the living room appear more spacious.
As for the colour and upholstery of the
two sets of furniture, Mr Ireri says it does
not matter very much as long as they
complement each other.
The idea behind having one wall open is
to provide a clear view of the garden as well
as to allow sucient light into the living
room, so it is important not to have clutter
around the sliding or folding doors.
Uncluttered windows
Window blinds and curtains should be
used minimally so that you dont block
the view of the garden, Mr Ireri says,
adding that if your home is fenced and,
therefore, oers you privacy, then stripping
the windows/folding doors completely is a
great way of permanently extending your
living room outside.
However, he says, if you dress the folding
doors, use curtains that can be pulled right
up and back since curtains tend to be more
homely. And if you choose to use blinds
go for roller blinds or shutters that with a
neutral accent that do not give your living
room a sterile look, he advises.
Also important is getting matching dcor
for the two spaces. If, for instance, you have
plants on your patio and windowsills, having
mid-toned wood indoors would be a great
way of blending them, Mr Ireri says.
Alternatively, using green such as
bamboo plants inside the house can
create a seamless ow to the garden. You
can also have paintings that complement
one another on the walls of the house and
on the fence.

Many people complain of lack of space when they have to host big functions at home
simply because they dont give the space outdoors a thought.

T
hey say that it is better
to work smart than just
work hard. The former
involves putting thought
into the work and using more
mind power than brawn. This
saying holds true even in interior
dcor since pieces should not just
perform singular functions, but
do more than what you originally
buy them for. What this means is
that when buying pieces for your
home, it helps to get those that
are not only timeless, but also
multi-functional.
Some home owners tend to
take a room-specic approach to
decorating and only use specic
items in certain areas. What they
do not realise is that with a little
creativity, some dcor pieces can
be used in a number of ways and
in more than one room. Some of
these versatile pieces are:
Bowled over
Bowls, especially generously
proportioned glass bowls, hold
Do not confine such bowls to
your kitchen and dining area.
Instead, fill them with some
potpourri and use them in your
master bedroom for an elegant
approach to aromatherapy. If you
have matching glass plates, then
use them to display a couple of
hand towels rolled and tied with
a piece of ribbon.
Still in keeping with the theme,
use a glass plate for placing soap
and matching candles. Last but not
least, use a short, matching glass
vase to store your toothbrushes.
Candle magic
It is no exaggeration to describe
candles and candle accessories
as magical because they easily
transform spaces, making them
warm and romantic. What is more,
decorative candles are versatile
and can be used in virtually any
room.
First, if you have candelabra
that you only bring out when you
have dining guests, give it a good
polish and put it on display on
your coee table. The candelabra
would especially look good on a
table with a glass surface.
Yet another place to evoke
the magical qualities of candles
is your bedroom, using silver
candlesticks on your nightstand,
alongside a mirror with silver or
white ornate frame, and a silver
tray with a silver vase lled with
your favourite roses. Complete the
look with a silver tray lled with
glass perfume bottles.
Iced wonders
A metal ice bucket need not only
be used to chill drinks. It can be
used in your home oce to store
supplies such as rolled paper or
cello tape. Another place you can
put the bucket to good use is in
your bathroom to create a beach;
fill the bucket with sand, then
put in some coloured glasses or
glass mason jars lled with your
collection of sea shells.
Cupcake beauty
A cupcake stand is a beautiful
and space-ecient way to store
jewellery in the bedroom. Use the
lower tray to store your chunkier
jewellery and the top ones for
your brooches, hair pieces, and
earrings.
Mirror me
A metal, double-sided mirror
does not only belong in the
bedroom and the bathroom. It
can add a great deal of drama on
a side table in your living room.
Place it alongside an oversized
glass lantern lled with decorative
balls for even more drama.
Canned
A set of steel canisters can never
go wrong in the kitchen, but it can
also be used in other rooms. In
the bathroom, the canisters can
be used to store bath salts. To
further accessorise them, use a
simple decal to print bathroom-
themed vinyl stickers such as the
words Relax and Serenity on
the canisters. These handy storage
pieces can be used as stationery
holders in your home office.
Juxtapose them with some African
art and hand-made metal curios
such as animal or automobile
sculptures.
Last but not least, you can use
a set of oversized canisters in
your laundry room to store your
washing supplies like powder
detergent. To make the canisters
look anything but simple, place
them alongside large mason jars
lled with simple wooden pegs
and place some framed black-
and-white pictures of your loved
ones above the display.
So, there you have it: Ways to
make your dcor pieces work just
as hard as you do.
When
buying
decorative
pieces
for your
home, it is
advisable
to get
those
that are
not only
timeless,
but also
multi-
functional

For most people, living in urban areas is often
characterised by tight and cramped spaces, with
little storage space. Most live in small apartments.
However, with a little organisation, you can prevent
these small houses from cramping your style.
By using certain design techniques, you can
create illusions of space and make your house look
bigger without moving any walls. Creative use of
colour, furniture arrangement, and lighting can help
achieve this.
Letting as much natural light as possible into
a room opens up space and gives it character. If
the room oers a beautiful view of the outside, it
is advisable to bring the outside colours into the
room in order to unify it with the inside and expand
the look of the space. Articial lighting also helps
open up a room. Lamps add colour and focus
attention.
Avoid heavy draperies and those in contrasting
colours. Choose those with the same colour as
the walls. Using small prints or plain fabrics and
rugs produces a single, unied eect that visually
expands the room.
It is also best to avoid unnecessary details such
as rues on the window treatment and furniture.
Use simple panelled draperies or shades.
Try not to rely solely on overhead xtures since
they only pool light in one spot. Having several
sources of light in the room draws the eye around
and creates an illusion of space. If the view outside
is not attractive as is the case in many crammed
urban apartments you can use hanging or potted
owers near the windows.
Strive to minimise clutter. This is one of the
simplest and cheapest things one can do. A
cluttered room always looks small because there
are too many things going on, all clamouring for
attention. Consequently, the room feels busy and
crowded. If you have a small room, you do not have
to display all your memorabilia because nothing
makes a small space feel more cramped than
having too many things in a particular area.
As much as possible, create organised storage
space and keep the room tidy. When things are
neatly arranged and out of sight, the space that is
in view feels orderly and open.
When decorating a small room, try to create
a focal point, for instance by hanging one large
painting. In the dining room, for instance, the focal
point will be the dining table.
Keep the oor as clear as possible and take out
big rugs that make the oor look cramped.
Mounting an oversized mirror or a set of smaller
mirrors on a focal point adds extra light and sparkle
and makes a small room appear larger.
Furniture takes a lot of space, so arrange it in
such a way that it occupies a particular area, and
keep the dcor in the rest of the room minimal. Get
furniture that ts in the room without blocking the
walking areas. You can use multi-function furniture
such as an entertainment unit with a bookshelf to
limit the number of pieces necessary in a room.
Place the larger furniture pieces against the wall so
that the space in the middle remains open.
Colour can also be used to create an illusion of
space. Light and cool colours make a space feel
open and airy, so use light coloured tiles on the
oors and walls. Light colours also reect and
increase light while darker shades absorb it. Light
and brightly coloured walls are more reective,
making a space feel open and airy while at the
same time helping maximise the eect created by
natural light.
A dash of colour and lighting can make your room look bigger

I taught in the school that
is near our home.
I always made sure that
my pupils read many books.
Books are so important, they
stretch your imagination and
give general knowledge. You
know what? Pupils who read
many books always did better
on exams!
I hope to celebrate my
birthday on November 12, and
I shall be glad to receive your

dont spend all the money you

Mzee Kwach, our neighbour
whom you know, has an army
of dogs, and he has promised

which will soon grow into big
dogs.
I think I will rest here.
When I continue tomorrow, I
will tell you about the early life
of Oginga wuod Odinga.
6th October 2001
My granddaughter, now
I will begin my story. Ajuma
Oginga wuod Odinga has his
home right here in this village
of Nyamira Kango. He was
born around the year 1911.
He belonged to the Kowuor
lineage. I have referred to
Oginga as wuod Odinga
because he was the son of
Odinga. His fathers full names
were Raila Odinga Oginga. His
mother was called Opondo
Nyar Magolo and she was
from Uyomo on the shores of
Lake Victoria.
Now, there is a story I have
to tell you about the birth of
our hero. Long ago, there was
a man called Obondo Mumbo
who disappeared into Lake
Victoria. He lived and ate with
the hippos and crocodiles.
Everybody thought that he
was dead. However, after forty
days, he was found sitting on
a special stone at the shore. It
was then discovered that he
had become an ajuogo, a very
strong benecial medicine
man and forecaster. He
brought together four other
well-known medicine men.

WE APPRECIATE your dedica-
tion to reading our articles.
Starting a business requires
extensive planning, hard
work and discipline. It is
commendable that you are
thinking of starting an en-
terprise in a eld where you
have experience and exper-
tise in. It is not advisable to
start a business you have no
passion for or the know-how
to do it.
There are several things
to consider in realising your
dream. Make sure that your
business addresses an impor-
tant need that has not yet been
met. With many web develop-
ers in the market today, you
need to establish your market
niche that is in dire need of
a particular service that you
intend to offer. With most
companies going digital, there
is sure demand for the service.
However, offering a unique
service in addition to what
other developers have will give
you a competitive edge.
Secondly, you need to ask
yourself whether you are an
entrepreneur. Not everyone
is cut out to be an entrepre-
neur. Starting a business is
challenging and there are no
guarantees of survival, but
there are traits that success-
ful entrepreneurs possess
key among them risk taking,
creativity and optimism that
even when the success rate
seems low, they stick to it and
use the failures and challenges
encountered to improve the
business.
An entrepreneur needs to
have a crystal-clear vision of
what they want to accomplish.
Most businesses fail due to
lack of planning. Drafting a
business plan will guide you
towards realising your dreams.
It should be simple, clear and
concise. It should be easy to
follow, execute and to modify
with time, based on insight.
Entrepreneurship works well
but only if you come up with
a realistic plan that can help
you turn it into a successful
venture.
Funding will also come in
handy. It is not clear whether
you already have the seed capi-
tal, but this would be worth
considering. The money could
be your savings, a loan from
your family, friends, sacco, mi-
cronance, or a combination
of all these.
However, you will need
to be careful since a startup
may encounter challenges and
may take some time before it
breaks even. There will there-
fore be need to be prepared for
such eventualities bearing in
mind that expenses incurred
will need to be catered for
to ensure smooth running of
the entity. Keeping a budget
will help you track the ex-
penses and the inows of the
enterprise. You will need to
compare the budget with the
business plan to ensure that
you are not spending on un-
necessary items.
Since you have already
established networks and are
familiar with the business
challenges, you can compare
notes with other established
web developers. Conducting
research on the industry will
also be of use since you will
be up-to-date with the latest
trends.
Finally, you will need a
marketing plan that maps out
your competitors and target
customers. Any business must
constantly adapt to changing
trends, new business tools and
fresh sales opportunities in or-
der to grow and prosper.
Investing in an effective
promotion strategy will help
create awareness of your prod-
ucts. You may also consider
citing your services and ex-
perience at the local university
and using them as referees in
your new venture.
We wish you all the best.
HELLO ANNE,
I have a small farm in the countryside where I plan to start farming fresh pro-
duce such as tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum and onions. My plan is to sell these
vegetables in supermarkets. And with an increasing urban population, my bet is
that there would be demand for my produce. How do I successfully pitch my busi-
ness plan to supermarket managers? Paul M.

THE REALITY is that most startups
fail. Here is a summary of the recur-
ring problems in the awed startups
to avoid to maximise your odds of
success:
A small or unscalable idea. Investors
tend to have bias against ideas that
throw out the largest nets possible in
terms of potential customers. They
would much rather back the next
Google, whose product appeals to
everyone and anyone, than a small
niche business that only appeals to a
very narrow market.
Wrong market positioning. Often
times, entrepreneurs launch busi-
nesses they think are good ideas, but
they never took the time to properly
research the market. As an example,
investors dont want to back the 10th
startup in a space, they would much
rather back one of the rst.
No go-to-market-strategy. Entre-
preneurs are typically so focused
on building their product, that they
dont think far enough ahead to their
go-to-market strategy, and how that
will help them to achieve a proof-of-
concept to attract growth capital.
No focus. It is hard enough to
launch one business, yet alone try
to launch multiple businesses at the
same time. Dont be a jack-of-all-
trades, youll end up being a master-
of-none.
Know when to cut losses. If you are
trying to paddle upstream, no mat-
ter how hard you paddle, the current
is going to take you backwards.
Entrepreneurs need to know when
a pivot is required, while there is
still enough capital in the bank
and enough time to implement the
changes.
No passion or persistence. If an en-
trepreneur does not exude passion
about their product, they will never
love their startup enough to get
through the good times and the bad.
You need to have a persistent mind-
set that regardless what hurdles get
thrown your way, you are going to
gure out a way through them.
Wrong leadership. Never try to put
a Fortune 500 team inside a startup,
because they dont typically think
like startups. Investors do not want
to back a person, they want to back
a complete team, in case you get hit
by a bus.
An unmotivated team. The manage-
ment needs to have the same incen-
tives as the founder, and putting 15
to 20 per cent of the company into
the hands of your employees will be
a lot more motivating and loyalty
instilling.
No mentors or advisors. Entrepre-
neurs should not be lone wolves.
They need to understand they are
not in this battle themselves. Many
cities have established startup
ecosystems for them to tap into for
mentors.
No revenue model. Many startups
may not have a revenue model day
one, but there better be a clearly
communicated revenue plan for
down the road. That revenue plan
needs to be material enough, based
on credible assumptions, to make it
enticing for an investor.
Little capital. First of all, make sure
you are raising enough money out of
the gate. That means raising enough
to build your product and to achieve
your proof of concept. Preferably,
that amount is large enough to at
least carry you for the next 12 to 18
months. Whatever capital you think
you will need, double it for a cush-
ion, as things always go wrong.
Bad luck or timing. Sometimes,
businesses fail for no fault of their
own (e.g., due to economy). During
bad times, it is often best to go into
hibernation, waiting for conditions
to improve so you can live to ght
another day.

As a potential customer of Kenya
Power, I am unhappy about the
treatment I have received from the
electricity distributor. I applied for
electricity connection in October
last year for my premises in Tala,
Machakos County, and was issued
with a reference number.
The company also gave me a
quotation of Sh34,980 in December
last year, which I paid promptly in
the hope that I would be connected
without delay. To my surprise,
however, I received yet another
quotation for Sh149,000 for rea-
sons I do not understand. There is
a transformer 50 metres away from
my home.
And as if that was not enough, al-
most every weekend, I receive calls
from people who claim that they
can fast-track my connection at a
fee. I have refused to yield to their
demands because I believe they are
fraudsters.
Yvonne, I want the electricity
distributor to explain why it is shar-
ing my information with fraudsters.
I also need to know if this is why
Kenya Power has not connected me
and instead sent me the Sh149,000
quotation.
Finally, when will Kenya Power
hook my home to the national grid
since I have already paid for the
service.
Maingi
Hello, Maingi, and thank you
for seeking our assistance. It is
unfortunate that you have had
to wait for long for electricity
to be connected to your home,
yet you have fullled your part
of the agreement with Kenya
Power.
We got in touch with the
electricity distributor and we
thank the company for its
prompt response. Kenya Power
noted that, indeed, you have
lodged a complaint with it.
The company has also noted
that your application was
re-assessed and is currently
awaiting wayleave approval.
The company urged you to be
patient as you will get electric-
ity connection to your home.
Kindly keep us posted on the
developments in this matter.
Dear Yvonne,
While thanking you for the enor-
mous task you have accomplished
for Kenyans, I wish to let you know
that I have been an avid reader of
your column. However, I did not
know that I would one day turn to
you for help.
I am a student at Maseno Uni-
versity and a family man. On 24
December, last year, I lent a busi-
nesswoman Sh10,000.
She told me that she did not have
enough soda stock to sell during the
Christmas celebrations but that she
would pay back my money on De-
cember 26, 2013.
When she defaulted on her prom-
ise, I called to ask for my refund. She
did not answer my calls. I travelled
to Rongo town to see her and I was
shocked when she denied that I had
lent her any money.
Disturbed by the turn of events, I
reported the matter to Rongo police
station and was asked to produce
M-Pesa printouts as evidence of the
transaction. I produced the print-
outs on January 13, this year.
I have since spent a lot of money
travelling between my home and
Rongo town seeking justice, but to
no avail. As a consequence, I am un-
able to set up my startup as well as
register for new semester classes.
Assist me recover my money. I have
identied the woman to the police.
Tom
Thank you, Tom, for asking
for our help. We sympathise
with you.
We got in touch with the
person whose contacts you
provided and he informed us
that indeed you reported the
case to the police.
We also contacted the
woman in question and she
informed us that you had come
to an agreement on how the
money shall be repaid.
Kindly conrm this and let
us know if your case has been
settled. Feel free to enlist our
assistance again on this or any
other matter.

poration that will allow you to
make a positive contribution,
she says: Craft an execu-
tive summary or Who I Am
section that showcases your
overarching value proposi-
tion (or, as I call it, your So
what?).
Speak directly to the
things you know the target
audience is going to care
the most about. This is your
chance to make it clear to
them (recruiters) that you are
a strong t.
Interests
Include your interests only
if you feel that they support
your overall professional
message and brand. For
instance, If youre a dieti-
cian who maintains a recipe
blog for fun, yes but if youre
an accountant who enjoys
photographing peoples feet,
absolutely not, she notes.
Write in the rst person
Ms Foss notes that because
when you write a resume,
your name and contact infor-
mation are at the top of the
page, the receiver will most
assuredly deduce that the
document he or she is receiv-
ing was, indeed, from you.
So write the resume in the
rst person, minus the pro-
nouns, (for example, Raised
more than $70,000.)
Emails
Using your current job
email when applying for an-
other job does not help you.
Nothing says, I job-search
on company time quite
like using your current work
email address on a resume,
she warns.
Unless you own the com-
pany, it is poor form to run
your job search through your
companys email system. Use
your personal email for all job
search business.
Avoid unnecessarily big
words
Why say utilise when you
mean use?
Ms Foss advises that if you
nd words or statements that
do not read like something
you would say, then change
them.
Exclude unimportant jobs
(from, say 15 years ago)
Your resume is not an
autobiography of every job
you have held since you
graduated, she notes. It is a
marketing document. For
each former job, think about
what you did or achieved
that will be required (or will
hold signicant value) in your
next role.
Avoid lies
In case an employer de-
cides to dig into your educa-
tion background and nds
out that you have not yet
graduated, such simple lies
could cost you your job.
And as Ms Foss puts it, be
brutally objective, cut the fat,
and for goodness sake, leave
out all the details of your vast
collection of clown gures.

Are you looking for a place to
go to unwind and have a good time
with friends and family in Nairobi?
With Sh10,000, one can have a great
time at one of these spectacular des-
tinations, says Kenya Tourism Board
managing director Muriithi Ndegwa.
Some people spend almost
Sh50,000 every weekend, an amount
that could otherwise be used to expe-
rience the good tour and travel prod-
ucts at our disposal, Mr Ndegwa told
Money.
Nairobi and its hinterlands have
some of the most unique holiday
destinations, weekend getaways, and
fun activities to break the monotony
of the busy capital.
Money went on a week-long cruise
across the city to see the travel prod-
ucts on oer:
Nairobi Railway Museum
About 10 minutes walk from the
CBD sits the Nairobi Railway Mu-
seum. You have a chance to take your
family, friends, or children there to
learn the history of railway in East
Africa. Sitting right next to the Nai-
robi railway station, the museum
oers an opportunity to view some
of the ancient locomotives that were
used to ferry cargo and people dur-
ing the colonial period. The display
includes chairs, bicycles, tables, and
telephones used by the British. It
also has operational steam locomo-
tives which are occasionally used by
tourists for excursions from the city
to Naivasha and Konza. It is a rich
store of information on how institu-
tions such as the railways operated
before the fall out of the East African
Community.
The Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
Did you know that elephants laugh,
play, communicate, mourn, and even
rebel like humans? At the Sheldrick
orphanage, located near the Nairobi
National Park, you get to see young
elephants that have been rescued
from the wilderness after losing their
parents.
The centre rescues them and sees
them grow before releasing them to
the wild. Some even leave at will.
It is interesting to see how the
caretakers talk, play, and feed them.
What is fascinating is that their milk
formula has components similar to
that consumed by human children.
According to one of their caretakers,
if they are fed on any other animals
milk, they risk contracting diarrhoea,
which can kill them.
The orphanage is now a conserva-
tion centre where people from around
the globe can adopt and sponsor a
baby elephant.
Rolfs Place
It borders Nairobi National Park
to the south and is about 25 minutes
drive from the city centre. The site is
built on the edge of a cli with a sus-
pended bridge that swings gracefully
as one crosses it to access the quiet
venue for a lunch treat.
One can bring along the family
for a hot afternoon lunch, say after
a day of excursions. You have your
meal prepared while you watch wild
animals and enjoy a panoramic view
of both Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya
on a clear day.
Rolfs Place also has lodges where
you can spend the night while listen-
ing to the sound of wild animals in
the dark.
Lukenya Getaway
Have you been looking for an op-
portunity to mingle freely with the
wild? Well, plan to visit Lukenya
Getaway, about 45 kilometres from
Nairobi. Here, you will get to ride the
gateways quad bikes into the wild.
And if you are a fan of paintball
shooting, the place would quench
your thirst.
Paintball shooting is an interest-
ing game where a team is divided
into two and opponents eliminate
one another using balls that contain
dye. This could be a good sport for
team-building.
Machakos Peoples Park
The recently unveiled leisure park
sits on a once sun-baked space next
to Maruba Dam, where travellers
can enjoy boat riding. Thanks to its
location, it provides an ideal spot for
travellers to take a break and cool o
before continuing on their journey. It
is tted with round-the-clock CCTV
cameras and a dedicated security
team.
The 40-acre park also has a mini-
ature golf eld, a public swimming
pool that is scheduled to open soon, a
colourful water fountain, restaurants,
and conference facilities.
Paradise Lost
If you frequent fun sites, you prob-
ably have toured or heard about Para-
dise Lost.
It is a tranquil getaway for family,
friends, and colleagues to relax on
weekends with the option to cook
your own food. Just a few minutes
drive from Muthaiga along the Nai-
robi-Kiambu road, the site oers a
chance to see the ancient caves used
by freedom ghters.

Rebecca Muta believes
that change must come from
within. Positive thinking and
being goal-oriented will see
you succeed in business, she
says. The mother-of-two is not
just any other businesswoman;
she has started her company,
Jubibell Enterprises, based in
Uhuru estate, o Buru Buru
Road, in Nairobi.
She makes peanut butter,
liquid soap, table mats, hair
shampoo, and jewellery.
Having trained in hairdress-
ing, Ms Muta worked in sev-
eral salons and beauty shops
in Nairobi.
She also tried her hand at
sale. Most employers doing
exhibitions want young and en-
ergetic girls. As years passed, I
could not get any employment
opportunity and my nancial
wellbeing was in ruins, she
told Money.
But with positive thinking
and a strong desire to cre-
ate a change in society, Ms
Muta started her enterprise
in 2012. She rst attended a
training course organised by
the Ministry of Agriculture to
help women and the youth
start businesses. The training
sought to impart entrepre-
neurial skills to jobless women
and the youth in order to create
jobs and enable them to earn a
living.
We formed a group of about
40 women and joined a two-
month training programme
in 2009, she said. We were
trained on how to make peanut
butter, crisps, yoghurt, cakes,
liquid soap, table mats, reless
jiko, and sack gardening.
After graduation, I saw this
as an opportunity to turn my
life into a success and decided
to use the skills I had acquired
to shape my future and that of
my children, she said.
As a single mother living in
Nairobi, life was tough as she
needed to pay rent and school
fees for her children and meet
other household needs.
However, getting the capital
was an uphill task. Ms Muta
had to start as a bead maker,
a job that saw her save about
Sh5,000. She used it to buy
raw materials for making her
rst peanut butter, liquid soap,
and table mats, which she sold
to her neighbours. She has
since grown and honed her
entrepreneurial skills.
I make peanut butter by
mixing peanuts with a little
salt and a special oil. For liquid
soap and shampoo, I use spe-
cic chemicals, she said.
She gets the peanuts from
the Muthurwa and Gikomba
markets in Nairobi, where they
are sold cheaply, and buys the
shampoo and soap chemicals
from Industrial Area.
She has buyers across the
country: Ive customers in
Nyeri, Nyandarua, Nakuru,
Narok and Njoro who buy my
products wholesale, she said.
Residents living in informal
settlements in Nairobi and in
the rural areas give her a ready
market.
I occasionally receive
tenders from schools, hotels,
shops, dispensaries, and
homes to supply liquid soap,
which is suitable for washing
clothes and oors, she said.
To help ght poverty, Ms
Muta trains women and
youths. I have partnered with
several youth groups in Buru
Buru, Umoja, and other parts
of Eastlands, where I offer
training in dierent skills in
churches and social halls at
Sh2,000 a person, she said.
Her company, Jubibell En-
terprises, has gained popular-
ity among women. I make the
products, then package them
in dierent sizes of contain-
ers, she said.
Her peanut butter goes for
between Sh150 and Sh200.
Shampoo and liquid soap at-
tract Sh100 to Sh200. The ta-
ble mats cost between Sh3,000
and Sh7,000, depending on
size. Ms Muta makes a prot
of between Sh20,000 and
Sh40,000 in a good month.
To market her products, she
sometimes supplies them per-
sonally to shops and schools
and takes part in exhibitions.
Many customers who end up
referring me to their friends.
This has helped in expanding
my network, she says.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PATRICK WAMEYO
Managing personal change is key in building wealth
IN Money habits of the wealthy that you
can pick up, we introduced the three key
interconnected traits of saving, investing,
and giving. We noted that when you set a
goal to become a millionaire, you in eect
plan to save, invest more, and give large.
Becoming a millionaire from scratch
involves a mindset shift, an intricate
mental change that involves three activi-
ties. First is the determination of the
present nancial status, where you
gure out your position nances
and behaviour and what is impor-
tant to you. It involves developing a
personal vision and setting lifetime
goals.
Secondly, having determined what is
important to you, you must start work-
ing towards achieving it. Rising from the
ashes naturally involves creating in-
come of any scale and keeping a portion of
it as savings and for investment. In this way,
you start to overcome your old inner-self
and eventually overcome Parkinsons Law
that expenses rise to meet income.
Priority
Most people fail in step two because they
are unable to connect their vision with real-
ity. For example, if you honestly want to
build a house in order to stop paying rent
and all you can save is a block (approxi-
mately Sh20) a day, you can achieve your
goal by keeping aside one block each day
without fail. However, the house must rst
be more important to you than any other
enjoyment so that it takes a place of priority
in your budget allocation every day.
The third action involves changing how
you have been handling money by learn-
ing to deal with what has been sabotaging
your eorts to be on top of your money.
Arguably, the most dicult of the three
traits involves dealing with your emotions
by engaging logical thinking and action. It
involves actions that hurt the people you
love, which you must overcome and remain
strong.
How you execute saving at every pur-
chase, investing, and giving denes and
separates the poor from the wealthy. Faced
with the need to make personal change, the
poor get stuck at the emotional stage. The
wealthy in the mind quickly engage logic
and receive reinforcement from the growing
savings and investment from their actions.

Safaricom: Last week, the telcom
solidied its position as the most
protable rm in East Africa after an-
nouncing Sh23 billion after-tax prot.
With a market capitalisation of about
Sh522 billion, its investors looked
forward to appreciation of the stock.
However, the share fell marginally to
Sh12.60 from Sh13. This was in spite
of the declaration of Sh0.47 per share
dividend.
According to a researcher at Geng-
his Capital, Ms Everlyne Wanjiku,
Safaricom succumbed to prot-tak-
ing. Its prot was in line with market
expectations, she adds. On Friday,
the stock gained Sh0.25 per share
to trade at Sh12.85, with 57.81 million
shares traded. The stock hit a high of
Sh13.20. The Sh0.47 per share pay-
out makes the counter attractive to
dividend chasers. These are the inves-
tors who will inevitably oer a buer
to further downward trends.
The cashless payment service and
digital space still oer a blue ocean
for growth in both M-Pesa and data
revenues. Moreover, the telcom is yet
to reap the full benets of bre optic
infrastructure, adds Genghis Capital.
Portland: Late last week, the East
African Portland Cement Company
issued a prot warning, saying that
earnings are expected to contract by
over a quarter for the nancial year
ending June 2014. The cement maker
has been choked by sti competition,
depressed prices, and loss of market
share. In the companys half-year re-
sults ending December 2013, Portland
posted Sh283 million after-tax prot
a 44 per cent decline from the
Sh327 million recorded the previous
year.
The share had tried to dust itself
rise to Sh100. But the prot warning
is going to scare away investors, says
an investment manager at Investax
Capital Solomon Maina.
On Friday, the stock closed at
Sh92.50, with 222,000 shares traded
and opened at Sh91.50 per share on
Monday. In Mondays early trading,
the stock had muted activity. This
will pull it down. It will be well if inves-
tors can exit the stock for now until
the price has corrected, he says.
KenolKobil: The stock has been
on a slow slide due to huge selling
pressure. Last Thursday, it hit a low of
Sh8.50 before reversing to Sh9.45 per
share. Interestingly, the share had zero
supply in contrast to huge demand.
This came as the rm announced
expansion plans and possible partner-
ships. On Monday, it opened at Sh9.35
per share before climbing to Sh9.60.
Well, if you took a position in this
stock at around Sh8.50, prepare to
smile all the way to the bank.

The ancient Aztecs and Chi-
nese did it millennia ago, and
now a Berlin startup hopes it will
feed 21st-century city dwellers
using aquaponics, a combina-
tion of rearing sh and growing
vegetables.
Set up inside the brick walls of
an old brewery, the company ECF,
short for Ecient City Farming,
is using an age-old technique
to grow tomatoes, peppers and
greens in a miniature container
farm, fertilised with sh excre-
tions. Our vision is to give city
dwellers access to agricultural
goods produced in a sustainable
way, said Nicolas Leschke, who
founded ECF two years ago with
a business partner.
Aquaponics, combines the
techniques of hydroponics, or
cultivating plants in water, with
aquaculture or the rearing of
sh in tanks. Because it allows
food to be produced directly in
cities, not the distant country-
side, the environmental and
financial costs of conserving
and transporting the goods are
greatly reduced, Leschke told
AFP. And last but not least, it
guarantees access to fresh prod-
ucts, he added, snacking on a
home-grown swiss chard, a leafy
green vegetable popular in Medi-
terranean cuisine.
The business has set up a
prototype container farm on
two levels, with a sh tank at the
bottom and a small greenhouse
at the top where vegetables are
grown. Separate to the aquarium
is a tank with a special filter
which uses bacteria to transform
the ammonium of the sh excre-
tions into nitrates. The nitrate-
enriched water is then pumped
to irrigate a greenhouse where
the plants grow, not in soil but
in a hydroponic bath of flow-
ing water enriched with mineral
nutrients. It is ideal for farming
in crowded population centres
an important point at times of
growing urbanisation, with half of
the worlds population now living
in cities.
Because the water is used for
both the sh and the plants, the
method is less water-hungry than
traditional farming, while carbon
dioxide in the sh waste is recy-
cled as a plant nutrients.
The roots of aquaponics have
been traced back to the Aztecs,
who raised plants on islands in
lake shallows, and to Far East-
ern cultures who farmed rice in
paddy in combination with sh.
ECF, which last year won a start-
up award in California for its in-
novative take on the ancient tech-
nique, has already sold several of
its mini farms, but stressed that
our business is not farming as a
lifestyle hobby.
The companys goal is to sell
bigger farms, to companies, real
estate developers or even farmers
themselves, said the chief who
added, we have requests from all
over the world. For now, ECF has
bought a plot of land just outside
its oces where it plans to set
up its rst large-sized aquapon-
ics farm next year, on a 1,800-
square-metre (0.4-acre) area.
Berlins state investment bank
has agreed to help nance the
venture, which the rm hopes will
spin a yearly revenue of $760,000
(about Sh67 million). The farm
will sell fruit and vegetables in a
dedicated store on the premises,
as well as deliver to Berliners who
subscribe to a weekly basket of
fresh produce. It will also sell bar-
ramundi, its chosen breed of sh
which is popular in Australia and
Asia, to restaurants, or if some-
one calls up and says I am having
a big barbecue at the weekend, I
need 10 of them.
New organic
With its products grown next
door, ECF is embracing a power-
ful social trend.
For more and more consum-
ers, knowing something has been
grown or reared locally is now
more important than it being or-
ganic, a study by consulting rm
ATKearney in Germany, Switzer-
land and Austria found last year.
Quality, freshness and support-
ing the local economy are the
main reasons behind the enthu-
siasm for local and regional prod-
ucts, ATKearney said, calling the
trend the new organic. (AFP)

It is sweet and healthy. It can
be consumed by both adults
and children in equal measure.
And to cap it all, it has a reli-
able domestic and international
market.
Strawberry farming is gradu-
ally becoming popular in Kenya
as farmers shift to more lucra-
tive commercial crops to boost
their earnings.
Peter Njuguna, a farmer in
Kiamakia village, in Njoro, Na-
kuru County is reaping big from
the nutritious fruits. He has set
up an 15-metres by 80-metres
greenhouse.
Until 2011, Mr Njuguna used
to grow tomatoes but after
realising the huge strawberry
market, he decided to direct his
eorts into the new venture.
With tomatoes, you can
make even Sh20,000 a week
but this is for a period of four
months. However, with straw-
berries, you can make up to
Sh4,000 a week but harvest for
a maximum of four years. If you
look at the prots, strawberry
will bring you more money in
the long-term, said Mr Njuguna
when Money visited his farm.
Based on his calculations on
returns of both crops, he could
make Sh320,000 from tomatoes
in four months but strawberry
would earn him Sh768,000 in
four years. This makes a dier-
ence of Sh448,000.
Based on my experience,
strawberry farming is cheap.
It does not require pesticides,
fungicide or top dressing like
tomatoes. Therefore, the cost
of production is far lower than
tomatoes, he notes.
To start strawberry farm-
ing under greenhouse made
from locally available materi-
als, he says, one needs about
Sh165,000 seed capital, this is a
one-o expenditure in a period
of four years. However, if you go
for a modern greenhouse, which
is constructed with metal poles,
you will need Sh450,000 capital
which is invested once in a pe-
riod of about 20 years.
For the three years he has
been farming strawberries, he
says, the only challenge he has
been facing is frost. But by tim-
ing his planting season, he has
been able to mitigate its eects
on the crop.
I make sure that the soil is
clean. I fumigate it, then keep
the strawberry crowns in a solu-
tion of Dettol, sugar and some
medicinal herbs for 21 days.
Dettol and the herbs kill any
pests or infection harbouring in
the seed while sugar is food for
the crop, he says.
In three months, the straw-
berries are ready for harvesting.
The weekly harvests that bring
him a minimum of Sh4,000.
You must harvest weekly
otherwise they will rot. Making
losses is not welcome experi-
ence for any farmer, he notes.
If grown in the open eld,
he says, it could take up to ve
months to harvest. The crops
exposure to birds, pests and
extreme weather conditions im-
pacts negatively on the fruits
quality and therefore returns,
he says.
He has met his fair share of
challenges. My advice is that
farmers should avoid using
foliar feeds, otherwise, they
will not be able to harvest any-
thing because they just blossom
without bearing any fruits, he
notes.
Having manoeuvred market-
ing hurdles, he says that he now
has a ready market. My mar-
ket is in the canning factories
around. I also sell to supermar-
kets and individual customers
such as students, neighbours
and others who visit my farm to
learn, he says.
On several occasions, I have
received orders from Uganda
and Denmark. The demand is
huge and is yet to be met as few
farmers have engaged in com-
mercial strawberry farming in
the country.
His packaging and pricing is
nancially favourable to all. The
highest priced goes for Sh250
and the least Sh15. One can also
get some fruits for either Sh100
or Sh50.

Commenting on the Nairobi Securi-
ties Exchange recently, an investment
analyst described Kenya Re as holding
long-term value as it is exposed to
the entire sector. Being an investor, I
need to understand the business of the
securities I buy. What is re-insurance?
Taylor, O. D., Nairobi

I also recall having seen the piece
youre talking about and although I
have a comment or two from an invest-
ment standpoint on some stipulation
in that analysis, I will desist from this
aspect for now and just answer your
query.
Re-insurance is acceptance of busi-
ness by a secondary insurer (the
re-insurer) from the primary insurer
(known as the ceding oce). The aim
is to reduce to acceptable levels the
probability that a severe claim, such as
the recent re at JKIA, or accumulation
of claims, such as in PSV insurance or
medical insurance, will ruin or threaten
the nancial stability of the insurer.
Having accepted a risk from the in-
sured, an insurer is much in the same
position as the former, in the various un-
certainties associated with the risk. Will
there be a loss or not? If there is a loss,
how much will it be? The insured was
faced with these problems and chose
to transfer the risk to the insurer, who is
now faced with many of the problems
which confronted the insured.
The insurer does not know if there will
be a loss or not, and if there is a loss, it
has no idea how much. True, the insurer
has some protection in the sense that it
has taken a large number of similar risks
and knows that they will not all involve
losses. But the insurer is not immune to
the possibility of larger-than-expected
losses. The insurer charges a premium
without the benet of hindsight, and
must live with that charge regardless of
the actual result. Looking at insurance in
this way, it is easy to see why the insurer
will seek to protect itself by insuring the
risk again re-insurance.
Re-insurance, then, is a contract be-
tween an insurer and a re-insurer and
individual policyholders of the insurance
company are not party to it. The role
of re-insurance is to provide an insurer
with security, stability and capacity.
Through re-insurance, the risk is spread
and in the event of a loss, the claim is
allocated to all the rms participating
in the re-insurance contract. By ceding
business to re-insurers, the insurer ably
underwrites risks it would otherwise
have declined because of lack of capac-
ity. Therefore, re-insurance assists insur-
ers to develop specialised classes of
cover, such as catastrophes in agricul-
ture, engineering works and projects. As
re-insurance is global, one of its macro
benets is that the cost of risk is spread
around the world market place, ensur-
ing that the impact of risk does not fall
solely on one economy.
The transactions of re-insurance are
handled dierently from those of pri-
mary insurance. There are two forms of
re-insurance: facultative and treaty. The
former involves negotiating for each risk
an insurer wants to re-insurer, but treaty
re-insurance consists of an agreement
between the two parties to the eect
that all risks written within certain pa-
rameters will be ceded automatically to
the re-insurer. The latter cannot decline
the risk and the primary insurer cannot
select which risks to oer and which to
retain.
Treaty re-insurance comes in various
types and sub-types. The main ones
are proportional and non-proportional
treaties. In the former, the quota share
and surplus treaties are most common.
Under the non-proportional treaty there
are excess of loss, stop loss and um-
brella categories. This treaty is aected
when a loss occurs and the size of loss
determines what is to be recovered
from the participants.

T
he level and intensity of com-
mercial energy use in a country
is a key indicator of economic
growth and development. It has been
observed that countries with low per
capita consumption of commercial
energy register correspondingly low
per capita gross domestic product
(GDP).
The converse is also true with coun-
tries enjoying higher per capita in-
comes usually recording relatively
high levels of per capita energy con-
sumption, even after taking into con-
sideration efcient utilization to the
same level of output.
A two per cent increase in power gen-
eration capacity can add one per cent
growth in Gross Domestic Product.
This clearly demonstrates the impor-
tance of energy in economic develop-
ment and social transformation.
Energy plays a critical role in the de-
velopment of a country. Provision of
quality, adequate, sustainable, cost-
effective and affordable energy serv-
ices for socio-economic development
is paramount in this sense.
There is no doubt that energy is one
of the key driving forces of economic
growth.
Countries that develop over time do
so in tandem with improvements to
their power sector. No country in
modern times has substantially re-
duced poverty without investing in
energy production, distribution and
management.
This is because cities are the driving
force of our economies and where 75
per cent of total energy is consumed.
Inasmuch as this is the case, it is im-
portant that organizations and indi-

viduals use the services of licensed

professionals to connect their power
facilities. This is for safety and pro-
tection of property and human life.
Electrical and mechanical consulting
and contracting ensures consistent
power system distribution, monitor-
ing and control. Many organizations
are increasingly seeking information
on contracting and maintenance so-
lutions in Kenya.
Maintenance and engineering tech-
nicians can come into contact with
uncontrolled electricity as they work
on or near energized equipment. Re-
gardless of their involvement with
electricity, they need proper training
that teaches them ways to identify
and evaluate electrical hazards and
demonstrates strategies for control-
ling recognized hazards.
A range of safety issues also affect
employees engaged with electrical
work, and managers must integrate
these issues into electrical-safety
training programmes.
Electricity has long been recognized
as a serious workplace hazard, and
federal regulations and training re-
quirements apply to technicians who
directly work on electrical systems.
Electrical standards from the Oc-
cupational Safety and Health Ad-
ministration (OSHA) aim to protect
employees exposed to dangers, such
as electric shock, electrocution, res
and explosions.
OSHA regulations require that work-
ers be qualied in order to work on
or near energized electrical systems.
Qualied is dened in OSHAs regula-
tion, 29 CFR 1910.399 as one who
is familiar with the construction and
operation of the equipment and the
hazards involved. OSHA has deter-
mined that a qualied person: is an
employee undergoing on-the-job
training; has demonstrated, in the
course of such training, an ability to
perform duties safely at his or her lev-
el of training; and is under the direct
supervision of a qualied person.
Whether an employee is deemed
qualied depends on the circum-
stances in the workplace. It is possi-
ble likely, in fact that an individ-
ual is considered qualied for certain
equipment but unqualied for other
equipment. Unqualied workers
working near electrical hazards must
receive training on identifying and
avoiding electrical hazards.
All employees need proper training to
be thoroughly familiar with the safety
procedures for their jobs. Moreover,
good judgment and common sense
are integral to preventing electrical
accidents.

S
ince 1990, Specialised Power Systems
(SPS) Ltd. has excelled in the design,
manufacture and assembly of low-
voltage switch boards and control panels.
After taking the leadership of this market
segment, the power solutions rm added
medium-voltage switchgears to its range as
well as introducing UPS/inverters/stabilizers
to its stable.
Safety and protection are the prime purposes
of all these products.
According to SPS Director, Perminder
Singh, modern technology is incorporated
in the rms manufacturing of Low Voltage
Switchboards and Control Panels of various
complexities, to offer products and solutions
to enhance efciency, reliability and safety in
industrial and electrical systems.
Clients have to understand that safety and
protection are key in electricity, he says.
They cannot invest greatly in property and
then go for cheap electrical products as that
will ultimately cost them.
SPS has grown over the years to become
a provider of specialized power solutions
in the region. It serves clients in Kenya,
Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Malawi, the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and
Congo Brazzaville. Beyond the Great Lakes
region, the Kenyan rm is now targeting
Sierra Leone in West Africa.
Locally, it is involved in high-prole jobs,
including installation of power infrastructure
at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
(JKIA) new terminal that is undergoing
construction.
SPS has succeeded in establishing a rm
foothold in the market because it has
partnered with well-established international
agencies that have been around for a
combined 90 years. That is plenty of
experience.
Its principal suppliers are involved in the
switchboard and control panel innovation
eld.
One of the partners is Terasaki Europe, world
leaders in protection switchgears. Terasaki is
a world class specialist in innovative circuit
protection, control and system products for
electrical energy distribution.
The stabilizers and UPSs are sourced from
Elsteel, one of the most modern players in
the market for 30 years that is constantly
up-to-date with the latest technology.
Specialised Power Systems have qualied
electrical engineers to help clients, at no
cost, in designing Sub Station Equipment,
Low Voltage Electrical Distribution
Systems, Motor Control Centres and Cable
Management Systems.
A lot of consultants are referred to SPS in
this eld.
Mr. Singh is happy to report that about
98 of his staff are local, trained in-house
and overseas to become the best in their
specialized elds.
Specialised Power Systems Ltd. has over the
years made investment in the state-of-the-
art workshop facilities and showroom. The
workshop is now fully equipped with CNC
Machinery. It has powder-coating plants and
other equipment so that the switchboards
it manufactures meet or exceed European
standards.
SPS has the Kenya Bureau of Standards
(KEBS) Diamond Mark of Quality. It has a
type-tested certicated from Icema.
Besides these, the power solutions rm has
ISO 14001 certication for health safety, ISO
9001:2008 for quality management systems
and BS OHSAS 18001 for environmental
management standards.
With such investments in place (equipment,
expert engineers, standards and 24/7 backup
service), SPS assures its customers of quality
products and services.
Mr. Singh reports that the rms clients are
happy. This is the reason why we do not
have a marketing section, he says. We
do not have to market our services and
products; we get work from people who are
referred to us by the clients we have served
and are delighted.
SPS not only manufactures the switches but
also commissions sites and Mr. Singh is proud
to say we can assemble switch boards the
fastest in Kenya.
