K
enyas political leaders
set aside their rivalries
yesterday as prayed and
preached peace and tolerance
amid rising political tempera-
tures ahead of tomorrows
home-coming rally that Cord
has organised for its leader, Mr
Raila Odinga, and the rift in the
Jubilee Coalition over the shar-
ing of top civil service jobs.
The organisers of the annual
National Prayer Breakfast,
stressed the need to do things
right and stop the greed, cor-
ruption, negative ethnicity and
terrorism that have cast a pall
over the nation.
The breakfast meeting at the
Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi
was an occasion for sombre
reflection but also offered
light moments.
President Uhuru Kenyatta
criticised the political class,
of which he is a member, for
hypocrisy.
If only half the people in
this room, just half, just took
up the messages we have been
given today, this country would
change within one year, said
President Kenyatta.
If we left this room today
and just committed ourselves
to go out and practise what
has been preached here by
ourselves as leaders, then
well have a great country and
great prosperity and a great
future for the people of this
country.
President Kenyatta set aside
his prepared remarks and de-
livered a short speech at the
end of the annual breakfast
meeting.
Let it not be that we stand
here, we say great things but
what we read, what we hear
coming from the same lead-
ership in our dailies, on radio
stations, in public ralliesis
completely contrary from
what we have preached here,
he said.
Before giving his speech, the
President led the gathering in
singing Blessed Assurance at the
insistence of Deputy President
William Ruto.
The Presidents statements
came two days before a rally
organised by the Coalition of
Reforms and Democracy at
Uhuru Park to welcome Mr
Odinga home from his two-
month stay in the US.
President Kenyattas Jubilee
Coalition has accused Cord
leaders of incitement and hate
speech at opposition rallies held
in the past two weeks at Kibera,
Mlolongo and Baba Dogo.
Cord has criticised the
governments handling of the
security situation, payments
for Anglo Leasing contracts
and public appointments.
Notable absentees were
opposition leaders Kalonzo
Musyoka and Moses Wetan-
gula.
Mr Ruto preached against
hate, negative ethnicity, mis-
management and corruption.
Weve travelled that road
and we know where it takes us;
to division and to anarchy and
to backwardness. We commit-
ted ourselves that well never
travel that road again and we
meant it. We will not travel
that road again so that all of
us must be responsible, must
be careful in what they say and
in what they do, he said.
Those of us in government
leadership must govern with
fairness and equity and those
entrusted with the leadership
of the Opposition must do so
with responsibility, knowing
very well that we are doing
this for our country.
Kenyans, he said, should
pursue unity, integrity, sac-
rice and working together,
which would lead to a shared
prosperity.
As we talk about my village,
my religion, my community,
just know that those who
dont belong to your village,
your community or your reli-
gion, belong to your country
and they are children of one
God, he said.
Former United States am-
bassador Scott Gration, now
the vice-president of The Ibex
Group Ltd, said Kenya had a
lot of potential because of its
strategic geographic location
and its hardworking citizens.
East Africas future is very
bright and I truly believe now is
the time to be ocking to Kenya
and not eeing its borders,
said the guest speaker.
We know that terrorism is
a terrible scourge and it must
be defeated but we must shun
the political nger-pointing and
become part of the solution.
We must all work and unite.
We must make it too hard for
terrorists to operate in our
spaces, he said. A safer and
more secure nation is every-
ones responsibility, not just the
job of the security forces.
Mr Ekwee Ethuro, the Senate
Speaker, said the prayers are
not something were doing just
to feel good.
We want our leadership to
know that what breaks Gods
own heart breaks our hearts.
We have come here to plead
for those favours from God,
he said.
Nyamira Governor John
Nyagarama said all leaders
should be on a mission to do
things right.
Let us not ask what is it
that is in it for me but what is
it that will help our people. Our
aim is the delivery of services
to the people, he said.
Kenyans on Twitter
started two trending topics
#Nationalprayerbreakfast
and #BreakfastOfHyenas,
to comment on the prayers
but opinions were sharply
divided.
While some of the people
who posted their comments
were highly critical of the
leadership, others were more
tolerant while some were sim-
ply sarcastic.
The Prayer Breakfast is
aimed at seeking spiritual
national healing and recon-
ciliation through prayers and
social interaction.

Googles new self-driving car
BY NATION REPORTER
It could be the ultimate solution
for drink-driving among Kenyans,
whose pleasure has been curtailed
by the breathalyser squad, for they
could soon collapse in the back seat
as the car drives itself home.
On Tuesday, technology giant
Google unveiled a new self-driving
car prototype.
It is the rst company to build a car
with no steering wheel, accelerator or
brake pedal.
The vehicles arrival marks the
next stage in Googles self-driving
car project, which was born from the
Darpa Grand Challenges for robotic
vehicles in the early 2000s.
Google pioneered its own self-driv-
ing car project in 2008, and it has
been rambling on ever since, rst
with a modied Toyota Prius and
then customised Lexus SUVs.
It is the rst truly driverless electric
car prototype built by Google. It has
two seats and room enough for a small
amount of luggage.
It operates in and around Califor-
nia, primarily around the Mountain
View area, where Google has its
headquarters.
It ferries two passengers from one
place to another without any user in-
teraction.
The car is summoned by a smart-
phone for pick-up at the users location
with the destination set.
What you nd are simply a start
button and a big red emergency stop
button.
In front of the passengers is a small
screen showing information such as
the weather and speed.

from the police on Wednesday
after top level intervention that
reversed a ban by Inspector-Gen-
eral of Police David Kimaiyo.
Cord leaders Farah Maalim, Ja-
koyo Midiwo, James Orengo and
Junet Mohamed were upbeat,
saying, they were expecting a
big turnout at Uhuru Park.
Mr Odinga, who ew from the
US on Wednesday morning, ar-
rived in Dubai yesterday and is
expected at the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport at 1pm
tomorrow.
We have put everything in
place to ensure a successful
event. We have secured the
venue at Uhuru Park and we
are expecting not less than one
million people to attend, Mr
Maalim, who is the organising
committee chairman, said.
Mr Odingas spokesman Den-
nis Onyango said the Cord leader
will address an international
press conference at JKIA before
driving to Uhuru Park.
Peace will prevail
Mr Maalim, Mr Midiwo and
Mr Mohamed urged the police
to provide security for the thou-
sands of supporters expected at
the rally as they promised that
peace will prevail at the event.
We expect a peaceful rally.
The State must keep us secure
because it is its duty to provide
security, Mr Midiwo, the Cord
chief whip in the National As-
sembly, said, adding, We want
to tell Baba (Mr Odinga) all the
ills that have happened while he
was away.
Mr Mohamed said they will
neither engage in hate speech
nor ethnic slaying and invited
members of the Jubilee coalition
to the rally which, he said, will
address issues facing Kenyans.
It will be a mammoth rally,
which will address itself to issues
that matter. All are welcome, in-
cluding our brothers and sisters
in Jubilee, he said.
The coalition was spending
modestly on the rally, he said,
adding that no money is being
spent to buy crowds as there
was none.
We only have Sh250,000
to spend on this event. This
money has been raised through
donations by our members. We
have borrowed a public address
system from one of our members
and the rest will go into logistics
he said.
Uncertainty clouded the
rally on Tuesday after Mr
Kimaiyo banned all weekend
public gatherings in Nairobi,
citing insecurity based on intel-
ligence reports. But the ban was
reversed on Wednesday morning,
reportedly on the intervention of
State House.
Shortage of buses
In Kisumu yesterday, hundreds
of Mr Odingas supporters hired
buses to ferry them to the rally.
Kisumu Central MP Ken Obura
said politicians from the region
had hired the buses.
We are doing our best to
ensure that Kisumu residents
are well represented in the rally
to be addressed by our party
leader, he said as he refused to
disclose the number of buses
that were hired. Some support-
ers complained that there might
be a shortage of buses.
Taxi operators and bus manag-
ers said they had been receiving a
number of group bookings since
Monday.
We have increased our trans-
port charges from Sh800 to
Sh1,200 because the number of
passengers travelling to Nairobi
has doubled, Kisumu matatu op-
erator Michael Munyendo said.
We cant deny that we are
cashing in to earn more money,
he said.
In the North Rift, ODM and
Ford Kenya parties also hired
buses while other supporters
will use private means to travel
to Nairobi.
Almost all delegates and
majority of Cord supporters are
expected to attend the meeting
in large numbers, Uasin Gishu
ODM secretary Charles Tanui
said.
ODM officials from Uasin
Gishu and Elgeyo Marakwet
counties yesterday met at an
Eldoret hotel to nalise travel
arrangements.
Similar arrangements took
place in Nandi, West Pokot,
Bungoma counties. Some of
the supporters left for the city
rally two days ago.
In Trans Nzoia, Ford Kenya
chairman Ferdinand Wanyonyi
said they will ferry their sup-
porters to the rally.
Security will be tight at the
venue, with more than 1,000
police officers stationed in
Uhuru Park.
They will be drawn from the
Kenya Police Service, the Admin-
istration Police, the Directorate
of Criminal Investigations, the
Trac Department and the Na-
tional Intelligence Service.
Police snier dogs and horses
will also be used.
Security officers will start
clearing the venue today, hours
before the function. All the per-
sons attending the rally will be
screened before being allowed
into the venue.
Nairobi deputy county police
commander Moses Ombati said
that all vehicles will be parked
at a designated area after being
searched.

N
airobis plans to host the war-
ring South Sudan leaders were
cancelled yesterday to give way
for the implementation of the peace deal
recently signed in Addis Ababa.
The Nation has learnt that the planned
meeting between President Salva Kiir
and rebel leader Riek Machar on Kenyan
soil was put o to allow them to meet in
Ethiopia next week. Kenya also changed its
decision to host them as it did not want to
create the impression that it was creating
a parallel negotiations team.
A source from the Foreign Aairs min-
istry said the leaders are expected to meet
next week in Ethiopia where they signed
the truce on May 9.
President Kenyatta held talks with the
former South Sudan Vice-President on
Wednesday night.
Dr Machar is said to have briefed the
President on his meetings with Inter
Governmental Authority on Development
(Igad) chairperson and Ethiopian Prime
Minister Haile Mariam Desalegn. The rebel
leader, who has been in Kenya from Tues-
day, was engaged in meetings regarding
the situation in the oil-rich nation.
State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu
said Dr Machar was in the country on the
invitation of the President.
Kenya has previously hosted parties to
the conict and he is here in that context,
he told the Nation.
Mr Mabior Garang de Mabior, Dr Ma-
chars deputy spokesman said the visit
to Kenya was part of a series of trips he
would be making in the region in an eort
to secure peace.
However long it will take to look for
peace, Dr Machar will be at it, he told
the Nation and added that his boss was
scheduled to meet President Kenyatta for
more discussions later in the evening.
It had been earlier claimed that Dr
Machar planned to visit Khartoum next
week.
On the ocial Twitter handle for the
Government of South Sudan @Rep-
SouthSudan, the report was received
with suspicion.
A post last evening read: It will be
very unfortunate if Dr Riek Machar goes
to Khartoum to lobby for war. Let us all
work together for peace #SouthSudan.
Moments later it was followed by another
post that said: We are working together
with Khartoum to try to see the case of
#Meriam Yehya resolved peacefully based
on relations between us & #Sudan.
When he met President Kenyatta, Dr
Machar thanked him for the role he played
in seeking peace in South Sudan, and es-
pecially for appointing a special envoy to
help the parties nd a solution.
President Kenyatta brokered the deal to
release 11 political detainees whom South
Sudanese authorities accused of being
party to a failed coup last December.
The former prisoners allied to Dr Machar
were later own to Kenya.
President Kenyatta also rearmed his
commitment to South Sudans peace and
stability. Speaking when he bade farewell to
outgoing South Sudan Ambassador Majok
Guandong yesterday, he said the war was
undermining citizens social-economic
growth and welfare.
The Head of State stressed the need for
South Sudan leaders to work together for
the peace and stability of their country
since the conict also aected Kenyans.

Kericho county assembly
members demanded Sh52
million to drop an impeach-
ment motion against their
governor, a hearing was told
yesterday.
Governor Paul Chep-
kwony claimed he was
asked to pay the money by
the county representatives
to escape the impeachment
two weeks ago.
Prof Chepkwony told a
Senate select committee
hearing the impeachment
case against him, that he
was asked to pay Sh500,000
to each of the 32 members
demanding his removal.
Sh1.5 million to a key
member, Sh1.2 million to
the next one and Sh1 million
to a third representative.
In addition, he was
asked to give Sh3 million
to women for gender pur-
poses, he said.
Prof Chepkwony
said the members
also asked him to
kill one project
worth Sh30 mil-
lion and
allo-
cate the money to the
members.
The governor, who said
he was saddened by his im-
peachment after rejecting
the proposal to rescue him,
claimed the representatives
also wanted free plots in a
prime area in Chelimo
estate.
A female member was
sent to meet me with the
demands but I turned
them down. That is when
the assembly decided to
impeach me, said Prof
Chepkwony.
He said the demands
were made on May 9. He
was impeached on May
14.
Asked by lawyer George
Nganga, for the assembly
members, whether he re-
ported the extortionists
to the police, he said he
did not.
The committee sat for the
second day yesterday when
the governor was allowed to
address the senators.

ing my official duties

Kenyan troops may
be sent to S. Sudan
BY KEVIN J KELLEY
NATION CORRESPONDENT
in New York
Kenyan troops may be
included in a contingent to
South Sudan if the govern-
ment gives the go-ahead,
according to a source at
the UN.
The Inter-Governmental
Authority on Development
(Igad) will send a 2,500-
member military contingent
to the newest African state,
said the source on Wednes-
day.
The Igad deployment is
part of 5,000 additional
peace-keepers that the
UN Security Council on
Tuesday approved for
indefinite deployment in
South Sudan.
Talks ongoing
Kenyan participation is a
topic of discussion involv-
ing the government, Igad,
the UN and other parties.
The talks, which have been
underway for weeks, are
expected to be concluded
soon.
If Kenya gives its go-
ahead, the soldiers will
join a protection force
of East African troops that
will be led by an Ethiopian
commander and operate
under the auspices of the
UN Mission in South Sudan
(UNmiss).
The Igad force will be
assigned specifically to
protect teams from Igad
nations that are already in
South Sudan to monitor
and verify the January 23
ceasefire agreement be-
tween the government and
the armed opposition.
The East African
troops, which may include
Rwandans, Kenyans and
Ethiopians, will also be
responsible for protecting
South Sudanese civilians in
accordance with a revised
UNmiss mandate adopted
by the Security Council on
Tuesday.
A UN spokesman de-
clined to discuss details of
the Igad deployment.
But secretary-general
Ban Ki-moon said in a state-
ment on Tuesday that he
welcomes the deployment
within UNmiss of an Igad
taskforce.

J
udges yesterday turned the heat
on prosecutors, asking them to
give compelling reasons justi-
fying decisions to deny terrorism
suspects bail.
At a meeting attended by top
judicial ocials and security chiefs
in Nairobi yesterday, the judges,
who have been criticised for being
too soft on terrorism suspects, said
this would help them make informed
decisions.
It is the duty of the prosecution
to give compelling reasons to justify
or deny bail for the court to arrive
at a just decision, said High Court
Principal Judge Richard Mwongo at
the meeting at the Kenya Judiciary
Training Institute. The closed-door
meeting ends today.
Justice Mwongo said although what
constituted a compelling reason was
still a matter of judicial discretion, is-
sues the courts had considered in the

J
ournalist Walter Barasa
yesterday got a reprieve
after the Court of Appeal
issued temporary orders stop-
ping his arrest and extradition
to the International Criminal
Court.
Appellate judges William
Ouko, Patrick Kiage and
Kathurima MInoti ruled that
Mr Barasas appeal would be
rendered useless if the govern-
ment arrested him before they
determine the validity of the
warrant of arrest issued by the
High Court.
In the circumstances, a
temporary order is issued re-
straining the Interior Cabinet
Secretary and the Director of
Public Prosecution from ar-
resting or handing over the
appellant to the ICC pending
the hearing and determina-
tion of his appeal, said the
judges.
They further put a stop to
Mr Barasas extradition pro-
ceedings currently ongoing
at the High Court until the
appeal is determined.
Mr Justice Richard Mwongo
of the High Court had on May
14 issued a warrant of arrest
for Mr Barasa and allowed the
DPP to begin the journalists
extradition proceedings to
the ICC.
Justice Mwongo ruled that
he was satised with the rea-
sons given by Interior Cabinet
Secretary Joseph ole Lenku for
the arrest of Mr Barasa and
that there were no reasons
to decline the request by the
ICC to have him extradited to
The Hague.
He ruled that the ICC
request for Mr Barasas ar-
rest was within the law and
that he could not find any
exceptional circumstances
to stop the process since the
journalist had not shown how
the International Crimes Act
undermined his constitutional
rights.

A
30-year-old woman has deliv-

District Hospital in Bungoma
county.
The Siamese girls were deliv-
ered through cesarean section
yesterday and weighed about six
kilogrammes.
Hospital Medical superintendent
Bitta Ceaser, said the twins are joined
at the chest and were not in a good
condition but had been stabilised.
He said it was possible the girls
were sharing important organs.
Mother of four
The twins are stable but they need
to be airlifted to Nairobi for more ob-
servation and specialised treatment.
There is a possibility that they share
some organs, said Dr Ceaser.
The medic said it was the first
Siamese birth at the hospital. This
is rare. Research shows that the prob-
ability of a woman getting siamese
twins is one in 20,000, he added.
The mother, Mrs Christine Sitawa,
said she was expecting twins based on
scans but she had no clue they would
be conjoined.
I am devastated. I dont really
know what to do. I can only pray
that they survive, she said from her
hospital bed.
The mother of four from Namutali

was a housewife and her husband was

plight and help, she said.

P
arents are spending millions
of shillings to rehabilitate their
sons and daughters who are ad-
dicted to drugs and alcohol.
With three months of rehabilitation
costing at least Sh200,000, some
parents, are selling family assets to
get their youngsters o drugs. Where
the victims relapse more than once,
the cost has left some wealthy and
inuential families on the verge of
nancial ruin and in some cases led
to divorce and suicide.
One family has spent more than Sh3
million in their quest to help their only
son recover from heroin addiction.
This week, he was receiving treatment
at Jorgs, a rehab centre in the outskirts
of Nairobi and this is the fteenth
time in rehab. Kenya has about 60
drug rehabilitation centres.
However, it is not all a case of doom
and gloom. There are those who have
been successfully rehabilitated. One is
Mr Alex Kangethe, the administrator
at Jorgs Rehab Centre.
His recovery from alcohol, he said,
was the best thing that ever happened
to him. His brother, also an alcoholic,
was ran over by several vehicles while
attempting to cross the busy Nakuru-
Nairobi highway while drunk.
He lost his way, he forgot the route
to our house and found himself on
the highway. We found his body at
Chiromo mortuary three days later.
Their mother was devastated and
she feared that Mr Kangethe would
meet the same fate. For Mr Kangethe,
the trauma of losing his brother was
an eye opener.
I did not want to die like him,
he said in an interview. His mother
was devastated and stressed by the
behaviours of her sons.
Mr Titus Nabei, a hotelier who is
now a recovering alcoholic, said his
addiction led him to abandon his fam-
ily. He would spend all his income
on alcohol.
I really caused a lot of pain to my
family. I want to stop that. I need to
live a responsible life. I do not want to
sleep in trenches any more, he said. A
university student addicted to bhang
was deluded that he writes scripts for
Hollywood star Lupita Nyongo and

the turning points that

Nacada boss John Mututho
blames parents for the grow-
ing problem of drug and alcohol
abuse, saying they are not keen
to know what their children are
doing.
They go to work in the morning
and come back late night. They
keep alcohol in fridges at home,
when they go out for a family
reunion, the wife and husband go
to the bar while their children are
busy playing outside on bouncing
castle, he said.
Mr Alex Kangethe, a recovering
alcoholic says his own father en-
couraged him to drink.
He made me believe that drink-
ing is not a bad thing. I became
alcoholic because of him because
his rst thing in the morning was
alcohol, he said.
BACKGROUND
Parents to blame
for the social ill
me they believe they were told by God
himself to be taking weed and if you
look at them, they are serious, said
Mr Kangethe describing some of his
patients.
He said many secondary school
addicts hide bhang in biscuit boxes
when they go to school. It is very
dicult to detect, he said.
Those who get hooked risk ending
up like the university student, living
in a world of make believe.
Many are the young drug addicts
who simply drop out of school or
college.
Tom, an only child enrolled for a
university course in disaster man-
agement in 2008. He completed his
rst year but become a bhang and
alcohol addict in his second year. He
dropped out and spent all the money
he got from his parents to pay fees on
alcohol and bhang instead. Unaware
that he had dropped out, his parents
continued giving him money for fees
for two more years. Just before he was
due to graduate, his parents got the
shock of their lives when a lecturer
informed them that Tom had dropped
out after the rst year.
Mr John Mututho, the National
Authority for the Campaign Against
Drug and Alcohol Abuse boss said
the problem of drug and alcohol
abuse is prevalent in many well-to-
do families.
We have parents weeping for their
wasted children, mothers who are de-
pressed and the situation is getting

K
enyan security forces waged
a campaign of torture, extor-
tion and forceful deportations
targeting the Somali during the recent
crackdown on suspected terrorists and
illegal immigrants, a global human
rights body has claimed.
Amnesty International claims that
hundreds of Somalis were forcibly
rounded up, tortured and deported
or taken to refugee camps in northern
Kenya during the crackdown dubbed
Operation Usalama Watch.
The government, through the
Cabinet Secretary for Interior and
National Coordination, Mr Joseph
ole Lenku, has previously rubbished
claims that the operation targeted the
Somali community.
The rights group in its report
published on Tuesday and titled
Somalis are scapegoats in Kenyas
counter terrorism crackdown, accuses
Kenyan security forces of arresting
and detaining thousands of Somalis in
deplorable conditions before forcibly
deporting them to Somalia.
On April 4, security forces put
up roadblocks and began sweeps in
Eastleigh, a predominantly Somali
area of Nairobi, indiscriminately
rounding up and arresting thousands
of people. The operation initially
focused on the Somali community,
including refugees and asylum-seek-
ers, the report notes.
Members of the security forces
have been going door to door, some-
times in the middle of the night,
forcing entry, intimidating, harassing
and at times beating people while de-
manding identication, it adds.
The report quotes several Somalis
who claim they were arrested by se-
curity forces and forced to part with
bribes ranging between Sh5,000 and
Sh20,000 before being deported or
taken to refugee camps.
In the rst days of the operation
there were many police on my street
[in Eastleigh]. They split [to dier-
ent accommodation blocks] and nine
or ten came to my [accommodation]
block. One put me against the wall,
while another beat me he kicked me
in the groin and hit me in the face.
They demanded my ID, and then said
this is not your ID, it is fake, the
report quotes one Isaac.
Isaac reported that his neighbour
paid Sh7,500 ($90) for his release
as well as of two others. Amnesty
International has previously raised
concerns that the police and other
state security forces regularly use ar-
rests and the threat of arrest to extort
money from the Somali.
Ahmed 26, claims he parted with
a Sh20,000 bribe to secure his free-
dom.
Ahmed was held for four days with-
out charge, often for extended periods
under a netting roof in the stadium
with no protection from the heavy
rain. On April 10, some of Ahmeds
friends paid Sh20,000 ($230) for his
release, the report notes.
Beating, intimidation and at times,
sexual harassment, have been a regu-
lar part of search operations. Fatima
reported to AI how her children were
beaten with a stick (baton) on April
13 by security forces after they
forced entry into her house. Fatima
was pushed against a door, beaten
on the back and kicked. She had re-
cently undergone a hysterectomy, and
the beating tore her stitches, causing
her to bleed, the report adds.

Terrorism watch
KRA admits
it sold killer
methanol
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Kenya Revenue Authority
yesterday admitted that it auc-
tioned methanol that killed over
90 people but maintained that the
sale was legal.
The tax collectors said the law
does not restrict the purchase of
methanol to any category or group
of people. The methanol is said to
have been used to mix drinks that
killed more than 80 people early this
month in Meru, Kitui and Makueni
counties.
In a press statement to news-
rooms, KRA commissioner general
John Njiraini said that the methanol
in question was auctioned in April
after lying at the Kilindini port for
close to two years.
The auction was carried out in
accordance with the procedures
prescribed under customs laws,
said Mr Njiraini.
Mututho claims
The commissioner general said
that methanol is regularly imported
by reputable companies with data
showing that 4,300 tonnes of meth-
anol were imported last year.
However, Mr Njiraini said that
KRA is working with relevant
arms of government to establish
the whereabouts of the buyer and
how the product was used.
Methanol is a chemical substance
used for industrial purposes includ-
ing as a solvent in plastic, polymers,
paints and dyestuff. National
Authority for Campaign against
Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada)
chairman John Mututho on Wednes-
day accused KRA of selling eight
drums of methanol each containing
250 litres of the substance to trad-
ers who sold it to manufacturers of
the killer drink.

Bail concerns genuine
T
he judiciary yesterday told o heads of key
security organs who had raised concerns
that the courts were too lenient on terrorists.
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga told the security
chiefs that terrorism suspects and others, including
murderers, rapists and drug trackers, have
constitutional rights.
This was at the conclusion of an engagement in
which the heads of key security organs, including
the Cabinet secretaries for Defence and Interior,
and commanders of the National Police Service,
the Kenya Defence Forces and National Intelligence
Service, raised concerns that terrorism suspects
were being set free on easy bail terms.
According to the judges, the onus is on the
investigating arms and the prosecutors to oer
compelling evidence why any suspect should be
denied bail. The judges would take into account
factors such as seriousness of the oence, ight
risk, threat to witnesses, criminal past of the
suspect, and threat of repeat oences.
However, there is widespread public concern
that courts are too soft on terrorists and other
dangerous criminals, giving priority to their rights
rather than the rights of the victims. These are
genuine concerns the Judiciary cannot ignore.

Annual prayers must
not be empty rituals
P
oliticians once again gathered yesterday for
national prayers to seek divine intervention
in resolving the countrys various aictions.
As has happened in the past, the prayer session
brought together politicians of all persuasions
irrespective of party aliation.
Again as before, the political leadership
demonstrated unity of purpose and committed
themselves to pursuing noble goals that would
transform the country and pull it out of the rut.
However, the prayer sessions are more of showbiz
than anything else. None other than President
Kenyatta exhorted the politicians to practise what
they said during the devotion, acknowledging that
if the political class lived by their words, half of the
countrys tribulations would be over.
The tragedy is that the politicians revert to their
old ways immediately after they say Amen. Each of
one them retreats to his or her camp, picks up from
where he or she left, and continues as if none ever
attended any prayer service.
Indeed, politics is dominated by ethnic and
political rivalry, greed, corruption, nepotism,
exploitation, immorality, manipulation and evil
schemes, exclusion and marginalisation.
When the country suers from insecurity, food
shortages, unemployment, poor health, bad
infrastructure, and environmental degradation
among others, it is simply because of the crafty and
economically destructive dealings of the leaders
and their hirelings.
Unless there is a change of heart, the annual
prayers will end up being rituals that mean nothing
to the majority of Kenyans.
Let politicians pray together, but more
importantly, let them practise what they talk about
so that their supplication can bring glory and
redemption to the country.
T
he air is thick with
excitement. Vehicles
have been lined up to
start bussing the opposition
faithful from the counties to
Nairobi for the Uhuru Park
rally tomorrow to welcome
home Cord leader Raila
Odinga.
I think the meeting is
going to be lots of fun; there
will denitely be music.
There will be singing and
dancing and there is going
to be lots of ery speeches.
Perhaps, the meeting will
also serve as the launching
pad for a series of protests
to remove President
Kenyatta and his Jubilee
government. I dont know.
However, Im increasingly
wary and tired of protest
politics. A couple of years
ago, I went to Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine. It is an
old, beautiful, if Soviet, city.
To the African eye,
Ukraine looked like a
developed country. It
did not have the lthy,
overcrowded feel of the
developing countries,
even though some of the
infrastructure was old,
strange and crumbling.
Then neo-Nazis and
other thugs joined up
with politicians to launch
a freedom movement,
which sought to remove the
democratically elected pro-
Russian President, Russia
annexed Crimea in a sham
referendum, and the country
all but broke into pieces.
I wonder what happened
to the Congolese shoe shine
guy I met in central Kiev.
Five years ago, we were
celebrating the outbreak
of peace and democracy in
Africa. South Africa was
free; so was Namibia. The
war in Angola was over and
Jonas Savimbi was dead.
Beautiful Mozambique was
at peace.
The South Sudanese
seceded and successfully
had an election won by the
Sudan Peoples Liberation
Movement. Tigray and
Eritrea had won the war
in Ethiopia. Eritrea had
seceded, fought a war with
Ethiopia and settled into an
uneasy peace.
The only places in Africa
where there was death
and chaos were Congo
and Somalia. We were
talking about the African
Renaissance, would you
believe?
Today, Africa is a very
dierent place. North Africa
is drenched in blood. Libya
has Africas biggest proven
reserves of oil, some 46.5
billion barrels. Today, more
than 30,000 Libyans are
dead and their economy
has contracted by some
truly staggering 62 per
cent. (Libya has an oil
economy, so when no oil
ows, the economy dries up.
The UN had also imposed
sanctions).
Libya is so insecure that
some Al-Qaeda types took
time o from rampaging
for democracy and freedom
to slaughter the US
ambassador in Benghazi.
It was previously one of
the most secure countries
on the continent.
Africa is on re. Mali
has no government worth
speaking of. The French
have had to send troops
in strength to keep rebels
from taking it. Nigeria is
increasingly looking like a
basket-case. Boko Haram
kills Nigerians almost
daily and takes schoolgirls
hostage with impunity.
In the Central African
Republic, they have had
a streak of massacres, a
veritable orgy of blood and
chaos. South Sudan, Africas
newest beacon of hope has
imploded in attempted
coups and some of the worst
slaughter seen in Africa in
years.
Bentiu, when the story
is nally told, will rank as
a shameful and infamous
testament to the inhuman
and brutish blood lust of the
African.
It is also in South
Sudan that the strangest
things have happened,
ranging from the president
confessing to have been
coerced to sign a peace
agreement on the pain of
arrest, and reports of guns
being found in United
Nations containers.
When I look at all this
chaos and bloodletting,
all of it in the name of
democracy, I begin to
wonder if democracy has
also started demanding
bloody sacrice, a goddess
to whom African corpses
must be oered.
So as ODM enjoys its rally
and probably rolls out its
mass action plan, I nd that
I have substantially lost my
appetite for protest politics,
the kind that the Kenyan
opposition has practised for
24 years this July.
I dont know whether it
was from Dr Mukhisa Kituyi
that I rst heard the concept
of negotiated democracy.
I think it is something
we might explore as an
alternative to confrontation.
I think I have overdosed
on all these lectures about
freedom and democracy and
failing governments and
how, to quote Mr Muthama,
the country is no longer
bigger than us, we are
bigger than the country.
At a time of great danger
not just in Kenya but the
whole continent, we need to
nd a formula for ghting
for power in a safer manner.
Remember: A great
civilisation is not conquered
from without until it has
destroyed itself within.

NEGOTIATED DEMOCRACY? | Mutuma Mathiu
The protest politics practised for 24
years has lost its appeal to Kenyans

BAD MEDICINE | Juliet Konje-Aguko
T
he Pharmaceutical
Society of Kenya, whose
mission is to protect
the profession, objects to
the Pharmacy and Poisons
(amendment) Bill 2014.
The Memorandum of
Objects and Reasons in this
Bill proposes to transform the
Pharmacy and Poisons Board
to a semi-autonomous body
to be known as the Pharmacy
and Poisons Authority, and
to enhance penalties for
malpractices. We do not see
any features in this Bill that
will make it more eective.
As the Bill also creates
new oences and penalties,
it makes pharmacy the only
profession in Kenya where
the conduct of a professional
during the course of duty is
not regarded as professional
misconduct but as a criminal
oence. Pharmacy should be
treated the same way as other
recognised professions.
The Authority is also
supposed to regulate and
control the practice of
pharmacy. This would make
the profession the only one
in Kenya that is regulated
by an authority and not a
professional body.
The Pharmaceutical Society
of Kenya (PSK) has already
worked on a Pharmacy
Practitioners Bill which
is soon to be presented in
Parliament for approval.
The profession and practice
should be regulated by a
recognised professional body
just like any other profession.
The boards composition is
not adequate to regulate the
practice of pharmacy as it has
only one pharmacist in it.
The composition of the
board is inadequate for the
following reasons:
a) Both the Principal
Secretary of Health and
the Director of Medical
Services (DMS) are senior
public ocials who are
representatives of the Ministry
of Health. This is a duplication
of roles. Currently the DMS is
the chairman of the Pharmacy
and Poisons Board, and
therefore there is no change.
b) Only one position for
a pharmacist nominated by
the Pharmaceutical Society
of Kenya is inadequate. The
PSK is a multidisciplinary
body that currently
nominates four pharmacists
to the board to represent
hospitals, the community,
academia & research, and the
manufacturing sectors.
These four pharmacists are
also able to adequately serve
in all the technical committees
constituted to implement the
functions of PPB.
c) There is no association
that represents pharmaceutical
consumers and therefore, this
position serves no purpose.
The positions of a person
with accounting and nancial
knowledge and another with
legal background nominated
by the Law Society of Kenya
serve no purpose. The
accounting, nancial and
legal issues are handled at the
secretariat level for day-to-day
operations.
The qualication required
for a person to be appointed
as director-general is not
clear. It states that he or she
must possess a basic degree
in a relevant eld, and a post-
graduate degree in pharmacy
or pharmaceutical control.
It is not possible to
hold any basic degree and
proceed for postgraduate
studies in pharmacy unless
ones rst degree is in the
pharmaceutical or medical
sciences.
The proposed director-
general must also be in good
standing with the PSK, as
he or she cannot purport
to regulate the practice of
pharmacy if he or she is not
recognised by pharmacists.
The new oence and
penalties for the manufacture
for sale counterfeit or
unregistered pharmaceutical
substances and devices
is discriminatory for it
targets local manufacturers,
as anybody is capable
of acquiring and selling
counterfeit substances.
It is important to note that
the term, counterfeit can
be abused and misinterpreted
especially when dealing with
locally manufactured generic
pharmaceutical products.
There has to be a proper
denition of the term before
the penalties are introduced.
Under the functions of
the proposed authority,
manufacturing is not
mentioned and packaging is
deemed to be manufacturing.
There is no provision for
a packaging licence, which
gives room for counterfeiting.
Manufacturers get a licence,
which describes packaging as
a manufacturing activity.
The changes proposed on
the management board of
the National Quality Control
Board do not add value to the
eciency of this institution.
The board is a technical
institution. The separation of
powers and responsibilities of
the board and the proposed
Pharmacy and Poisons
Authority must be maintained.
The same persons cannot be
appointed to both boards while
one is supposed to report to
the other.

T
he Embassy of Japan will celebrate
its 50th birthday on Sunday,
June 1. In the last half century,
our embassy has always received
close cooperation from the people and
government of this country.
Our bilateral relationship has a long
history. The rst recorded visit by a Japanese
to Kenya dates back to 1903 when an explorer
visited Mombasa. Many visitors from
Japan soon followed, and our commercial
interaction became quite active.
A Japanese cotton trading company,
Nihon Menka, opened its branch oce in
Mombasa in 1919. Then, in 1926, Osaka
Commercial Shipping Company opened
a regular monthly steamship line between
the Japanese port city of Kobe, and
Durban via Mombasa.
As the bilateral interaction became
vibrant, the Japanese Government
opened a consulate in Mombasa in 1932.
In less than six months after Kenyas
independence, Japan opened its embassy
in Nairobi.
In the last half century, Japan and
Kenya have built strong ties on various
levels: Government, private sector as well
as the grassroots. The rst ocial visit
by a senior Japanese government ocial
was by Foreign minister Sonoda in July
1979. Since then, more than 40 high-level
government delegations have set foot in
Kenya.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited
Kenya in January 2001 when he
accompanied then Prime Minister
Yoshiro Mori, as his Deputy Chief Cabinet
Secretary.
Japans Royal Family has also visited
this beautiful country several times. There
were ocial visits by His Majesty Akihito,
the Emperor of Japan (then the Crown
Prince) in 1983, and by His Imperial
Highness Naruhito, the Crown Prince, in
March 2010.
High-level visits
Japan has also received a number of high-
level guests from Kenya, including former
President Moi and former President
Kibaki. Recently, Deputy President
William Ruto visited Japan to attend the
Fifth Tokyo International Conference on
African Development (TICAD V) in May
and June 2013.
Our people-to-people interactions are
not limited to politics. The Japan Overseas
Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) were rst
dispatched to Kenya in 1966. Since then,
more than 1,500 have worked side by side
with Kenyans. In fact, almost 30 Japanese
NGOs are active in various parts of this
country.
Japanese wazee (seniors in Kiswahili)
have also played an important role in
strengthening Japans presence in this
country. For example, Mr Yoshiyuki Sato,
who moved to Kenya in 1966, introduced
Japans corporate management style that
cares for each employee. He founded the
Kenya Nuts Company which is known for
its brand, Out of Africa, and started a sta
loan system as well as an oce clinic for
his workers.
Another mzee, Mr Toru Seki, opened a
Japanese restaurant in Nairobi in 1981 and
promoted Japanese cuisine.
Sports is another area in which the
Japanese and Kenyans cooperate. In fact,
Kenya has the largest number of foreign
athletes living in Japan.
Mr Douglas Wakiihuri, who won
the gold medal during the 1987 World
Championships and the silver medal
during the Seoul Olympics, moved
to Japan at the age of 16 to become
a marathon runner. The late Samuel
Wanjiru, the gold medalist of the Beijing
Olympics, was also trained in Japan.
As the 17th Japanese Ambassador to
Kenya, I take this opportunity to express
my gratitude for the friendship between
the two countries.

WHERES MY LICENCE? On May 7, last year,
Gillian Stone and her husband were attacked at their
house by a gang that made away with some of their
possessions, including her driving licence. On May 20,
last year, she applied for a duplicate licence, attaching
a police abstract, a photocopy of her stolen licence, No
548124, issued in 1986, and two photos. She then paid
the required fee of Sh1,000. To date, she is still waiting
for the licence. Why such a lengthy process? asks
Gillian, whose contact is Tel. 0735900802.
THIS IS A SCAM. Could Nairobi Water Company
have quietly started rationing supply? asks Dedan
Ndirangu, a resident of Mbotela Estate, o Jogoo
Road. Dedan says he noticed something shy several
months ago when some parts of the estate went
without water for long periods. But as this happens,
water vendors who may be working in cahoots with
some ocials, are enjoying a business boom. Is this
true? His contact is dedanndirangu9@gmail.com.
GUARD UNBOWED. Abdi, a security guard in
Nairobis Karen Hardy area, says he is sick and tired of
motorists, who wont let me do my job. On Saturday,
at 1.25am, a driver arrived at the Kisembe Road barrier,
and on being stopped for security checks, shouted:
I am tired of this rubbish, adding some choice,
unprintable words, about this house, . . . your mother
didnt build for me. Abdi, recalling a recent robbery
at an MPs house nearby, says he wont be intimidated.
His contact is Tel. 0728291374 or join-us777@live.com.
TOO MANY THEATRICS. Nairobi Senator Mike
Sonko, a man known for his publicity-grabbing
theatrics says, terribly shocked him when he pulled
o one that C.G. Munyori could never have imagined.
It was during the demolition of private houses at
Nairobi South B last week when he phoned President
Kenyatta and broadcast the call so that the crowd
could hear the conversation. This was a total abuse
of his closeness with the President. This should
never happen again, says Munyori, whose contact is
cgmunyori@jambo.co.ke.
LOCKING OUT THE POOR. When he went to
university, Wambua Musembi and his colleagues were
excited that the government loved us so much that it could
provide us with free education, food and accommodation.
On top of that, they received an allowance, then popularly
known as boom, for which they only needed to sign
a form at the National Bank. Now, Education Cabinet
Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi suggests that students should
produce collateral. How many own property? Isnt this how
to lock the poor out of university? NB: The minister has
since claried that no collateral will be required.

Have a fair day, wont you!

Was police chief David Kimaiyo justied to cancel political rallies?
NOELLE CHELAGAT: He was jus-
tied to some extent. Past experience
shows that rallies can get violent as
the language used is mostly polaris-
ing.
LINCOLN KINYUA: He was not
only unrealistic but also breached
the law. Leaders should abide by the
Constitution.
ASH VALLI: Would he have done
the same if it was a Jubilee rally? Ki-
mayos blunders are getting painfully
embarrassing.
AMBROSE MUTHAURA: Banning
the rally would only have popularised
the opposition.
OWINO DUNCAN: Kimaiyo was
not justied to cancel the political
rally as its unconstitutional to do so.
IBRAHIM A. ISSACK: He is only
simply dancing to the tune of some
Jubilee leaders, who are fearful of
any open challenge.
REUBEN ROTICH: Banning rallies
is not the solution to insecurity. The
Inspector-General ought to ensure
that the country is secure whether
theres a rally or not.

I
watched in utter disbelief as
Inspector-General of Police
David Kimaiyo struggled to
justify his unwarranted decision to
outlaw political rallies and proces-
sions indenitely.
It is true that security concerns
remain an unpleasant menu on
our national agenda, but I will not
venture into whatever intelligent
reports our security agents have to
necessitate banning all rallies.
When Britain and other Western
countries issued security warnings
to their citizens, resulting in mass
exodus of tourists from Kenya, a
section of Kenyans read economic
sabotage in the move.
Mr Kimaiyos alert, whose only
redeeming factor is that he later
lifted it, was as good as the western
ones; it slowed down tourism and
business. His advisory did not in-
spire hope, but scared away the few
remaining tourists and investors.
Political expedience
What seems to escape Kimaiyo
is the fact that in public service
and leadership, common-sense
and condence should come rst.
There is no grace in chest-thump-
ing at the altar of political expedi-
ence. Road-side ats, which have
become Mr Kimaiyos mode of op-
eration, are not a sign of renement
or eciency; they only excite pity!
His recent order to motorists to
have their window tints removed
is now the joke in social media. He
appears as a person fast yielding to
desires to show o as a man who
has just arrived! Where he gets this
bravado is known only to him!
If people at political rallies run
a big risk of terrorist attacks, so
should worshippers and football
enthusiasts in synagogues and sta-
diums! If political processions are
likely to be an easy target for terror-
ism, so should funeral and wedding
processions. And why has the pub-
lic not been warned to avoid such
places as Gikomba, which have suf-
fered these attacks before? Mr Ki-
maiyo implies that the war against
terrorism is lost and Kenyans daily
operations should be conned to
their immediate surroundings.
The many un-answered questions
suggest that our police force is fast
becoming a highly politicised arm,
ready to use state resources to sup-
press dissenting voices in a manner
reminiscent of the one-party era.
Mr Kimayos order on political
rallies is self-defeating, unwar-
ranted and lazy. It is not premised
in law and should be treated with
the contempt it deserves!
MALIK SUMBA, Washington DC
Rally amplied
The Cord rally was amplied by
the cancellation notice by Mr Ki-
maiyo and now sounds like dooms-
day for Jubilee spin-doctors.
Now, with the blame games, tem-
peratures will rise. The use of Moi
era suppression of demonstrations
must be condemned by all reform-
minded people.

How EU parliament elections will aect Kenyas economy
Elections for the EU parliament were held last
week. An analysis of the outcome indicates there were
major wins for left-leaning and right-leaning parties
with voters shunning mainstream parties.
The common policy championed by the fringe par-
ties is anti-immigration. Their strong showing should
be interpreted in light of tougher economic conditions
and xenophobic sentiments across Europe, and will in
turn force EU to rethink policies on immigrants. The
practical implications on Kenya are numerous, but
some more manifest realities need highlighting.
Firstly, Kenyans represent a substantial number of
the immigrants moving mainly for economic reasons.
With this shift, Kenya needs to stem the movement
that now exposes its citizens to risk of xenophobic
attacks. Take into account too, the huge remittances
from the diaspora, and its potential dry-up in the face
of tighter immigration laws in Europe.
This should also serve as a wake-up call for us to
temper our political discourse by our political leaders
who make irresponsible, inammatory and inciting
statements. Our leaders who think they can always
move to Europe away from the chaos ignited by their
utterances back home must now think twice.
The upshot of this electoral outcome is that we
need to focus on making our country accommodating
and our economy vibrant to support all its citizens.
LAWRENCE KARUOYA, Makindu
I nd it amusing for people to as-
sert that the travel warnings issued
by the West to its citizens following
credible terror threats are malicious
schemes for regime change.
Kenya is no longer safe, and the
government should promptly ad-
dress national security rather than
waste time ranting about the West.
Western governments seriously
care about their citizens wherever
they are in the world. And should
they be in danger, the governments
mobilise all resources including
rescue missions by special forces to
bring them back home.
Rather than wait for this to hap-
pen, why not issue travel bans as a
proactive measure? There is nothing
wrong with that.

ERC plans to raise electricity
prices by Sh2 extra per unit starting

rainfall that has lowered the water
levels in key dams, forcing the coun-

I recall sitting in a matatu when it
was raining heavily. Two men were
talking about how the government
should have harvest the rain water,
which was wasting away. It has taken
only two weeks for ERC to announce
the rise in the cost of electricity.
Again the units bought uctuate
with time and number of units, even
varying with 12 units for the same
amount. Power is getting out of

Now, in Kenya, we also have our

Kimaiyo may be suering from acute
Nyayoism syndrome. In a span of
just two weeks, he has issued two de-
fective orders that are not supported
by the law. Does he know the Op-

MASS MADNESS: The Lemming
gene, also known as mass hysteria

through sudden behaviour change.
It is triggered by sudden excessive

in panic either turn on the other in
murderous rage that ends in mass
killings and destruction of property
or attempted suicides. The stress-
ful atmosphere brought about by

ing is conducive to Lemming gene.
If something should do something

shall all regret the consequences.

44 pupils had Hepatitis A, says doctor
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
The strange disease that
44 pupils from Karichuta Pri-
mary School in Kieni East,
Nyeri, were reported yester-
day to be suering from is
Hepatitis A.
Acting County Health
Director David Ndegwa said
although Hepatitis A tests had
turned negative, doctors had
established that one of the pu-
pils had visited Narok County,
where cases of Hepatitis A were
reported a month ago.
Dr Ndegwa explained that
the reason why the disease
could not be detected was that
the virus cleared after staying
for more than a week.
The doctor said another
pupil from the same school
had contracted the disease
and was treated yesterday.
Stable condition
All the pupils admitted to
hospital were in stable condi-
tion and had been discharged,
said the acting county director
of health.
Dr Ndegwa said that they
were carrying out surveil-
lance to ensure the outbreak
was brought under control.
Public health ocers had
also been sent to the field
to educate people on the
disease.
The disease left affected
pupils with yellow patches on
the skin and in the whites of
their eyes.
Out of the 44 aected pu-
pils, 36 were referred to Nyeri
Provincial General Hospital,
where they were treated and
discharged.
The doctor said the results
of the aatoxin tests carried
out on food samples would be
released today.

T
hree people were yes-
terday admitted in
an Embu hospital for
taking a lethal brew, weeks
after 98 others perished in
the same region.
This as Nacada warned that
30 per cent of all drinks in the
market are unsafe and will be
banned and recalled.
Embu hospital superintend-
ent Gerald Ndiritu said two of
the patients were rushed there
in the morning while one was
taken to the hospital at around
6.30pm.
He said the two who were
admitted in the morning were
out of danger while the third
one was responding well to
treatment.
Dr Ndiritu said that when
the two were brought to the
hospital, they were uncon-
scious.
He however attributed this
to the fact that they drank
alcohol before eating.
But a nurse at the hospital
said one of the patients had
complained of blurred vision
while the other had diculties
walking.
They had bought the drinks
from a wines and spirit out-
let. The three men were
taken to hospital by county
public health officials. The
government ocers had just
returned from treating villag-
ers who consumed meat from
a hippopotamus that died of
anthrax.
A health ocial said the liq-
uor taken by the victims was
authorised by Nacada.
But yesterday, Nacada chair-
man John Mututho said they
have tested alcoholic brands
sold in the market and found
30 per cent did not meet the
required standards. The drinks
have been taken to Kenya
Bureau of Standards (Kebs)
laboratories to collaborate the
ndings.
We are only waiting for a
second opinion from Kebs
before banning them from
the market, he said.
The anti-drugs agency post-
poned the naming of the bogus
drinks after experts from Kebs
requested for more time to
complete tests.

COMMISSION ON REVENUE ALLOCATION
Promoting an Equitable Society
Review 0f Revenue Sharing Formula Among County Governments
The Principal function of the Commission on Revenue Allocation is to make recommendations for the formula for the equitable sharing
of revenue raised by the national government between the national and county governments and among the county governments.
The Constitution states that every ve years, the Senate shall consider the formula as recommended by CRA and other stakeholders
and approve a new formula for sharing the revenues among the counties. The sixth schedule section 16 further species that the rst
and second formulas for sharing of revenues shall be made at a three year interval.
It is in this context the Commission has embarked on a three week nationwide county visits to ensure Kenyans participate in the
review of the current revenue sharing formula ending in the nancial year 2014-2015 and to make proposals for preparation of the
2
nd
revenue sharing formula to be used for nancial years: 2015-2016; 2016-2017; and 2017-2018.
The current Revenue Sharing Formula uses the parameters and weights as specied below:
Parameter Population Equal Share Poverty Land Area Fiscal Responsibility Total
Weight 45% 25% 20% 8% 2% 100%
Kenyans are hereby invited to attend the Stakeholders Forum in their counties as per the schedule on the CRA website

TRANSITION AUTHORITY
Management of Public Ofcers Seconded to County Governments
1. The TA, in collaboration with the Public Service Commission, facilitated the
secondment and deployment of serving civil servants to act as interim
county ofcers to all the 47 County Governments. This was done in February
2013 and was aimed at ensuring that the County Governments had an
initial pool of staff to assist them carry out their functions, and to establishthe
necessary administrative, nancial, procurement, human resource, payroll
management and other structures.
2. In March 2013, the Public Service Commission released Guidelines on the
Management of Public Ofcers Seconded to County Governments. These
guidelines at Clause 2.1 (a) provides that the ofcers in the Interim
County Executive and the Interim County Treasury teams will report to
the Governor through the Interim County Secretary.
3. The Interim County Ofcers seconded to the County Governments were
therefore answerable to the Governors, through the respective Interim
County Secretaries, and not to the TA as has been misconstrued.

4. In the event a County Interim Ofcer performs acts requiring disciplinary
action, the Guidelines on the Management of Public Ofcers Seconded to
County Governments issued by the Public Service Commission provides at
Clause 2.1.3 (a) that discipline cases for ofcers in the interim teams
will be reported to the respective authorized ofcers for necessary
action by the interim county secretary.
5. Upon establishment of the County Public Service Boards, disciplinary action
of all seconded ofcers became the responsibility of the County Public
Service Boards in the Counties, in accordance with the provisions of the
County Governments Act.In some cases where the Interim County Ofcers
failed to perform to the expectations of the Governors the counties were at
liberty to return the ofcers back to the National Government.
Procurement in the County Government
6. County Governments are bound by the Public Procurement and Disposal
Act, 2005 as well as the Public Procurement and Disposal (County
Governments) Regulations published in April 2013. The Governor of Embu
County for instance erroneously alleged that the Transition Authority had
appointed two procurement committees in Embu County from March 2013
to date.
7. A reading of the legislation governing public procurement referred to above
will reveal that the Transition Authority has no role in procurements by the
County Governments. The Schedule to the Public Procurement and Disposal
(County Governments) Regulations, 2013 clearly provides for the types of
tender committees that may be established by a County Government,
the composition as well as the appointing authority for these committees.
Nowhere is the Transition Authority mentioned as an appointing authority
for a County Government tender committee. These tender committees are
purely made up of county government ofcers (seconded or otherwise)
who are all answerable to the County Government.
Moneys sent to County Governments by Transition Authority- March to
June 2013
8. In the period of March to June 2013, the Transition Authority sent a total of
Kshs 61 million to each County Government for purposes of refurbishing
county ofces and general infrastructure to enable the county governments
to operate. This included funds for procurement of hansard equipment for the
County Assemblies. The County Government was responsible for expenditure
of these moneys, following which they were to forward expenditure returns
to the Transition Authority, detailing how the money was spent. The County
Government was therefore, responsible for prudent expenditure of this money
in accordance with the Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) which was given
to them by the Transition Authority. Upon receiving the expenditure returns
from the Counties, these were availed to the Ofce of the Auditor General for
auditing, in line with the public nancial management requirements.
County Budgeting for the period of March to June 2013
9. In accordance to the County Governments Public Finance Management
Transition Act, 2013, the Transition Authority was responsible for facilitating
the preparation of budget estimates for county governments forthe period
between March to June, 2013. In its facilitative role, the Transition Authority
ensured this was done in collaboration with other stakeholders such as the
National Treasury.
10. Further, all County Treasury ofcers appointed under the County Governments
Public Finance Management Transition Act, 2013were directly responsible
to the County Government immediately the Governor was sworn in (the
swearing in of all Governors was done on 27
th
March 2013).
11. Appropriations of moneys from the County Revenue Fund however, were
solely the responsibility of the County Government, and this should have
been done in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution as well
as other relevant legislation. It would be wrong for anyone to allege that
the Transition Authority would have any role to play in the appropriation of
moneys from a County Revenue Fund.
This Advisory serves to clarify some misconceptions and misinformation that
have been perpetuated in the public domain. The Transition Authority remains
a neutral party with interests to see both National and County Governments
transition successfully into the devolved system of governance. To this end, the
Authority has had a fruitful working relationship with both levels of government,
and shall continue to do so.

CLARIFICATION ON THE ROLE OF TRANSITION AUTHORITY IN RELATION TO
MANAGEMENT OF INTERIM COUNTY OFFICERS AS WELL AS MONEYS SENT TO

In the recent past the attention of the Transition Authority (TA) has been drawn to misleading statements in relation to the role Transition Authority
played in the Counties during the period of March to June 2013. This is particularly in relation to management of public ofcers in the counties as well

NAIROBI | Businessman cries foul
County denies signing
public transport deal
BY PETER LEFTIE
pmutibo@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he Nairobi county gov-
ernment has disowned
a deal that could have
seen it partner with a private
rm to provide cheap trans-
port to residents.
The county government
said it had conducted due dili-
gence and discovered that the
company it wanted to partner
with, Diamond Coaches Ltd
(DCL), did not own any buses
as it had purported to in the
agreement.
The county executive mem-
ber in charge of transport, Mr
Evans Ondieki, said this in
response to accusations by
Nairobi businessman Guleid
Kunow Mursal that the county
government had failed to
honour an agreement with
his firm for the provision
of a cheap commuter bus
service.
Under the agreement,
claims Mr Mursal, he was to
co-own a company with the
county government, which
would provide up to 100 62-
seater buses to alleviate the
transport crisis in the city.
The county government
would, in turn, clear a Sh39
million loan DCL allegedly
has with the First Commu-
nity Bank.
But in his rejoinder, Mr
Ondieki accused Mr Mursal
of duping the county govern-
ment into entering a deal with
a non-existent rm.
In exercise of due dili-
gence, the executive asked for
verication of the registration
of DCL before any agreement
was signed. It was during
this time that we discovered
that DCL is not registered.
Instead, a company by the
name DCCL was registered
on February 12, 2014, said
Mr Ondieki.
It was also discovered that
the buses that he purported
to negotiate with the county
were not registered in the
company name but that of an
individual Guleid Mursal,
he added.
Mr Ondieki further ac-
cused Mr Mursal of lying to
the county government that
DCL co-owned the buses
with the bank with a view to
making the county govern-
ment oset the Sh39 million
the rm allegedly owed the
nancial institution.
Commitment
Mr Mursal has accused the
county government of failing
to full its commitment to
oset the loan, forcing the
bank to auction the buses to
recover its money.
Contacted yesterday, Mr
Mursal maintained that he
had all relevant documents
to prove that the county gov-
ernment entered into a valid
agreement with him, only to
backtrack later. I have all the
documents to prove that the
county government willingly
entered into the agreement
with my company. Ondieki
should stop lying, he said.

Leaders to share water regulation roles in draft Bill
BY NATION REPORTER
The national and county govern-
ments will share regulation roles in
the proposed Water Bill 2014.
The Council of Governors Water
and Natural Resources chairman Peter
Munya (left) said the move would
ensure better delivery of services.
He spoke during a meeting between
leaders from both governments at the
Kenya School of Monetary Studies in
Ruaraka yesterday.
We have agreed that the function
of water regulation is not an exclusive
function of the national government
but a joint mandate, said Mr Munya,
the Meru Governor.
He said the Water Bill that was
before Parliamentary Committee on
Environment did not include the input
of the county governments when it
was developed.
We shall prepare a memorandum
and present it to the Senate for us to
have a unied law, said Mr Munya.
He said that in the agreement, exist-
ing water boards would still operate
until the changes were eected.
Restructuring
But water boards serving more
than two counties would remain intact
during the restructuring, he said.
Mr Munya said that counties would
nominate one member to represent
them on the committee. Each county
will be required to make their own
legislation with regard to water users
association.
He added that the Water Resource
Trust Fund would remain under the
management of the national govern-
ment.
Mr Munya also said that the na-
tional government would continue
collecting water consumers fees
but laws shall be made on how the
money would be shared between the
two levels of government.
Director of Water Resources John
Nyaoro welcomed the agreement, say-
ing that it would ensure that Kenyans
have access to clean water.
This is a step in the right direc-
tion in as far as management of water
resources is concerned. This would
bring order in the sector, said Mr
Nyaoro.
He said the national government
would oversee the big water projects
to ensure eciency and the safeguard-
ing of resources.

Governors want ban on GMOs lifted
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Governors yesterday called for the
lifting of the ban on GMOs to enhance
food security.
The chairman of the Health and
Biotechnology Committee in the
Council of Governors, Mr Jack Ran-
guma, said this was the only way to
break the cycle of poverty crippling
the economy. He called for the com-
mercialisation of genetically modied
cotton, maize and cassava.
The government is ghting a los-
ing a battle in enforcing the GMO
ban. Scientists have done research
and have conrmed that they are safe.
For instance, if the biotech cotton (BT
Cotton) is commercialised, our people
will have an income. They will not
starve, he said in Nairobi during a
public forum on biotechnology.
Mr Ranguma, who is also the
Kisumu Governor, said the country
stood to benet a lot by adopting new,
cheaper technologies that guarantee
higher crop yields.
The Government banned GMOs in
November 2012, citing health fears.
A taskforce was recently appointed
to review the ban and the countrys
preparedness for GMOs.
Dr Charles Waturu, the director at
the Kenya Agricultural Research In-
stitute, Thika, said Kenyan scientists
have developed new and resilient va-
rieties of cotton that would guarantee
farmers big returns.
The hurdle at the moment is the
ban on GMOs. This has dampened our
move to commercialisation of cotton
as well as other GMO foods such as
maize and cassava that would greatly
address food shortage as we know it.
If we lift this ban, farmers will have
more money to buy food, he said.
Mr Silas Obukosia of Africa
Harvest Biotechnology Foundation
International said only crops that
had been certied safe for humans
and environment are cleared for com-
mercialisation.
Ms Wanjiru Kamau of the Kenya
Biodiversity Coalition, a network of
over 60 civil society organisations,
said the ban had been overtaken by
events after the contentious report
that former Public Health minister
Beth Mugo used to outlaw GMOs had
been retracted.

losing battle in enforcing the

T
hree bodies were found dumped
in a crater in Elementaita, Gilgil
Constituency.
School children on Wednesday
reported that a foul smell was ema-
nating from the area near the hole
and alerted a village elder who in turn
called the police.
Gilgil Police boss Serah Koki led a
team of security ocers to the scene,
where they spotted the partly decom-
posed bodies dumped in a more than
20 feet (6m) ssure.
The police had to call the re bri-
gade National Youth Service ocers
to help retrieve the bodies suspected
to have been dumped a week ago.
Bodies of two men and a woman
were pulled out of the ssure which
is about a kilometre away from Jaika
police station.
The incident shocked the sleepy
Nakuru County village. A resident,
Mr James Kirop, who also witnessed
the retrieval, said the bodies must
have been in the pit for sometime as
the smell was overwhelming.
It took the teams more than three
hours to retrieve the remains of the
people believed to have been in their
middle ages.
We are yet to gather details about
the incident but we highly suspect
the three were killed elsewhere and
dumped in this area, said Ms Koki.
The police, she said, did not nd
any identication documents at the
scene but noted they had started
investigations
The police boss said the bodies did
not have visible signs of injuries.
We are still piecing together intelli-
gence reports but we suspect the three
were killed, said Ms Koki.
She appealed to people who might
have lost their relatives to report to
the police station and assist police
with their investigations.
Postmortems will be carried out
after the bodies which are at the
Gilgil District Mortuary are positively
identied.

New PPOA
Bill seeks to
cut costs in
supplies
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The government has come
up with amendments which will
ensure that procurement in the
public sector is in line with the
Constitution.
According to the Public Procure-
ment Oversight Authority (PPOA),
the Public Procurement and Asset
Disposal Bill will also help avoid
wastage of resources.
PPOA Director-General Mr
Maurice Juma said stakeholders
and the public were involved in
coming up with the new Bill.
He said if it became law, the Bill
would streamline procurement
with the changes set to take place
in the supplies branch where a lot
of wastage takes place.
The Bill will be an improvement
of the current Public Procurement
and Asset Disposal Act 2005.
The new law will be aligned
with the Constitution and ensure
public procurement is ecient.
Those charged with public procure-
ment will account for all they do,
said Mr Juma.
He said a conference bringing
together various players in the
procurement sector would be
held today at KICC.
We expect to have a procure-
ment law which will drive Kenya
forward and deliver the projects
the county and national govern-
ments are involved in, added the
PPOA boss.
He said the authority had pro-
posed an overhaul of the supplies
branch to create eciency and cut

SCARCITY | If approved, shortage will be a thing of the past
Mombasa might get
clean water from sea
BY MATHIAS RINGA

D
esalination of sea water
for use in Mombasa is
a viable project, ac-
cording to feasibility study
by a Japanese rm.
The countys water execu-
tive, Ms Fatma Awale, said the
ve-month survey by Toyota
Tsusho Corporation gave the
nod for the construction of a
desalination plant.
Ms Awale said the rm had
proposed Shanzu as the ideal
location for the project.
Once set up, the plant is ex-
pected to produce 100 million
litres of water a day, the water
executive said yesterday.
She said the company was
assessing the operational and
construction costs.
A report that will include
the tariffs that consumers
would be charged for the
water supplied will be ready
next month, said Ms Awale.
She told the Nation in Mom-
basa that if all went according
to plan, the construction
would begin next year and
end in 2017.
She said once the project
was completed, water short-
age in the county would be a
thing of the past.
Currently, Mombasa re-
ceives 48 million litres of
water a day from Baricho
(Kili), Mzima Springs (Taita
Taveta), Tiwi boreholes and
Marere (Kwale).
Mombasas 1.2 million resi-
dents require 186 million litres
of water a day.
Apart from the desalination
plan, Ms Awale said the county
was banking on the Mwache
multi-purpose dam in Kwale
to be funded by the World
Bank at a cost of Sh17 billion
to meet demand.
The construction of the dam
begins in July and should be
completed in three years.
Mombasa is set to receive
110 million litres of water a
day from the dam and Kwale
76 million litres.
Last year, Mombasa Gov-
ernor Ali Hassan Joho said
desalination was a priority to
end the dependence on other
counties such as Kili, Kwale
and Taita Taveta.
This was after the counties
demanded levies. However,

Wakhungu reminded them
that water was a national
resource to be shared by

TURKANA | Four police ocers among the victims
Six killed in battle
with cattle thieves
BY SAMMY LUTTA

AND BARNABAS BII
bbii@ke.nationmedia.com
S
ix people, among them four
policemen, have been killed in
a shoot out with cattle raiders
in Turkana South sub-county.
The other two were herdsmen.
Another herdsman was seriously
hurt during the fighting that has
heightened tension between the
neighbouring pastoralists.
More than 200 raiders attacked
Kakong village on Tuesday night.
The ocers were a corporal from
Kalimorock Administration Police
camp and three constables.
Turkana South police boss Paul
Kuria said six ocers had laid an
ambush on the bandits, who had
stolen goats in a grazing eld and
driven them towards West Pokot
County.
The ocers engaged the raiders
in a erce exchange of gunre. They
were, however, overwhelmed given
the massive strength of the raiders,
said Mr Kuria.
Two AP ocers who had spent
the night on the battleeld reported
on Wednesday afternoon that four
of their colleagues were missing,
he added.
After a search, we found the bod-
ies of the four ocers. Their guns
were, however, missing, said the
police boss.
Turkana South sub-county com-
missioner Elijah Kodo yesterday said
the raiders ed through the notorious
Lokwachula corridor towards West
Pokot County.
A contingent of ocers from the
General Service Unit, Anti-Stock
Theft Unit, regular and Administra-
tion Police units are pursuing the
raiders, said Mr Kodo, adding that
the number of stolen animals had not
been established.
Revenge attacks
Pokots and Turkanas constantly
mount revenge attacks after live-
stock rustling and disputes over
pasture and land.
The conict has been worsened by
the recent discovery of oil in Nakuku-
las. Both peoples claim ownership of
the oilelds.
Disagreement persists between
the two over the agriculturally-fer-
tile Lorokon and Nakwomoru areas
along River Kerio.
Armed villagers attacked Kalimor-
ock AP camp two weeks ago after a
reservist killed a cattle rustler.
Leaders from both peoples have
been pushing for dialogue to resolve
the conict in which more than 20
lives have been lost in the past few
months.

Livestock vaccination starts
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT

A two-week vaccination
against foot and mouth dis-
ease has started in the county.
Veterinary ocials have alerted
livestock farmers to ensure that
their cattle, sheep and goats
are vaccinated.
Dr Kelly Nelimo, the vet-
erinarian coordinating the
vaccination, said the area had
been quarantined since the
disease was detected three
months ago.
Cattle traders have incurred
heavy losses after markets were
closed to stop the spread of the
disease. Dr Nelimo said nearly
200,000 head of cattle were
targeted for vaccination.
Some 24,000 dogs will also
receive anti-rabies vaccine.
We have enough supplies of
vaccines, said Dr Nelimo.
Chiefs are helping to mo-
bilise farmers to take their
livestock for vaccination,
which is free.

Somalia set
to review
constitution
BY ABDULKADIR KHALIF
NATION Correspondent
MOGADISHU, Thursday
The council of ministers led by
Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh
Ahmed appointed today five
prominent persons to lead the
process of reviewing the Provi-
sional Constitution.
The Cabinet that was holding
its regular weekly gathering,
endorsed a recommendation
tabled by the Ministry of Justice
and constitutional Aairs.
According to a statement
released after the meeting, the
commission includes Ms Aisha
Ghelle Dirie, Professor Hassan
Omar Mahadalle and Engineer
Osman Jama Ali (Kalluun). Others
are Mr Mohamed Abdalla Salah
and Mr Hassan Hussein Haji.
Somali Minister of Justice
and Constitutional Aairs Farah
Sheikh Abdulkadir stated that
his office selected individuals
with capacity to lead the process
of reviewing and completing the
provisional constitution (before
undergoing a nationwide refer-
endum).
I thank my fellow ministers
for overwhelmingly supporting
my ministrys nomination, said
Minister Abdulkadir.
Prime Minister Ahmed spared
no words in appreciating the
approval of the independent
commission.
We have taken a solid step to-
wards state building in Somalia,
remarked PM Ahmed.
In August 2012, a provisional
constitution was endorsed by a
constituent assembly made of
850 delegates selected from all
Somali clans. It replaced the
Transitional Federal Charter that
had been used since the end of
the landmark Somali Reconcilia-
tion Conference in Nairobi Kenya
(2002-2004).
The current federal government
and the federal parliament are ex-
pected to work hard on reviewing
and completing the provisional
constitution.

CAIRO, Thursday
E
x-army chief Abdel Fattah
al-Sisi has scored a crush-
ing presidential election
triumph and consolidated the
militarys grip, 11 months after
the overthrow of the only Egyp-
tian president not drawn from
its ranks.
Ninety-six per cent of voters,
at least 21 million Egyptians,
chose Sisi, who deposed
elected Islamist president
Mohamed Morsy, with ballots
counted from all but a handful
of 352 stations, state television
reported Thursday.
Sisis only electoral rival, leftist
leader Hamdeen Sabbahi, won
less than four percent, according
to the preliminary results.
The longtime opposition g-
ure conceded defeat on Thursday
but cast doubt on the estimated
turnout gure of 47 percent after
calls for a high participation rate
as a sign of legitimacy.
Ahead of the nal results due
within a week, hundreds of Sisi
supporters took to the streets on
Wednesday night to celebrate,
waving Egyptian ags, setting
o reworks and honking car
horns.
Its a victory for stability,
said Tahra Khaled, among the
crowd in Cairos Tahrir Square,
nerve centre of the mass protests
that forced autocratic president
Hosni Mubarak to step down in
2011.
Sisi, who retired from the
army to run for oce, becomes
Egypts fth president from the
military, reasserting the institu-
tions grip on politics in the Arab
worlds most populous nation.
The military has always
formed the backbone of political
life in Egypt and the institution
has provided its leaders ever
since army ocers toppled the
monarchy in 1952.
The only exception was Morsy,
elected a year after the fall of
Mubarak, himself a former air
force commander.
Few would have imagined
that... three years after Mubar-
aks toppling, a eld marshall, a
new pharaoh, would be elected
again with 96 per cent, without
even unveiling a programme and
without campaigning, said ana-
lyst Karim Bitar.
Sisi rode on a wave of support
for a potential new strongman
who can restore stability and
revive the economy after three
years of turmoil.
But his opponents say that
since he ousted Morsy last July,
Egypt returned to autocracy.
A state crackdown target-
ing Morsi supporters has left
at least 1,400 people dead in
street clashes and seen more
than 15,000 others jailed.
Dozens of young activists have
also been jailed for violating a
law banning all but police-au-
thorised protests.
A European Union team that
observed the election said Thurs-
day the vote was conducted in
line with the law, although it
regretted the lack of participa-
tion of some stakeholders, in
a likely reference to Morsis
banned Muslim Brotherhood
Amid the crackdown on dis-
sent condemned by rights groups
and Western governments, the
military-installed authorities had
aimed for a high turnout as a
sign of legitimacy.
Private and state-run media
pressed Egyptians to go out
and vote, and the election was
extended for a third day in a last-
minute decision which sparked
protests. (AFP)

MONROVIA, Thursday
Liberian President Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf has challenged the private
sector, civil society, non-governmen-
tal organisations, the legislature and
judiciary, community leaders and the
media to put in place measures to en-
sure that more Liberians work and earn
a decent living.
This is why all of us have determined
and agreed that more Liberians must
have climbed from poverty to prosperity
by 2030 without necessarily compro-
mising the demands of our individual
colleagues, the Liberian leader said.
She made the call in a nation-wide
address on the state of the economy in
Monrovia on Wednesday.
President Sirleaf said in order to
achieve this goal, Liberians should
not only wait for government jobs, but
endeavour to empower themselves to
own their own businesses and employ
others, saying they must be able to pay
their bills, send their children to school,
care for their family and travel if they
desire. She noted that if Liberia is
to succeed in ending poverty by 2030,
Liberians, males and females, young
and old, Christians and Muslims, Abled
and Disabled must be willing to become
one and try to make it, stressing yes
this is possible.
She rearmed her Governments
commitment to helping more Liberians
change the condition of their lives for
the better, adding, we will continue to
build sustainable ladders of opportunity
where none have previously existed; this
will continue to be the central purpose
of our mission.

LILONGWE, Thursday
M
alawi Electoral Com-
mission (MEC) has
abandoned the deci-
sion to recount ballots for the
presidential candidates and will
proceed to announce results of
the election.
People of Malawi, on May 20
queued to elect leaders for the
next ve years.
The elections ran into fresh
trouble today after a judge due
to rule on when the results should
be released had to step down from
the case.
The hitch means it is now
unclear whether court chal-
lenges to the disputed vote will
be considered before the Friday
midnight deadline for releasing
the results.
High court judge Healy Potani
was scheduled to start hearing the
case today and then rule on Friday
whether Malawis electoral com-
mission could be granted a 30-day
extension to hold a recount.
But Mr Potani recused himself
after his impartiality was chal-
lenged on the grounds that one
of his brothers is a deputy chief
elections ocer at the electoral
commission.
A replacement judge Kenyatta
Nyirenda took over several hours
later and immediately the hearing
started. But amid the delays and
with the case thrown into confu-
sion, the electoral commission
indicated it might have to release
the results on Friday without a
recount. By law, the commission
is obliged to release the results
within eight days of the vote.
Chief elections ocer Willie
Kalonga said: We still have
until tomorrow to announce the
results.
Irregularities were identied
in 58 centres where the number
of the people that voted was ex-
ceeding the number of people that
registered in those centres.
Injunctions and counter injunc-
tions against MEC were issued
by the courts stopping the com-
missions decision to recount
the votes.
MEC chairperson Maxon
Mbendera made the pronounce-
ment on results at a press brieng
around 7pm on Wednesday saying
the announcement of the results
will also depend on the ruling of
the High Court.
As you may recall our last
polling day was Tuesday, May
22, therefore the commission
has a legal duty to announce
the results not later than Friday
May 30, 2014. The law allows the
commission to announce results
within 48 hours after collecting all
relevant information, he said.
Mr Mbendera said the commis-
sion has received 287 complaints
and has already processed 188 of
the complaints.
He said if all the complaints
cannot be resolved within the
remaining hours, candidates
will be able to take up any con-
cern through petition to the High
Court within seven days.

WASHINGTON, Thursday
F
ormer U.S. National Security
Agency (NSA) contractor Ed-
ward Snowden said he had no
relationship with the Russian gov-
ernment and had given Moscow no
intelligence documents after nearly
a year of asylum there.
Im not supported by the Russian
government. Im not taking money
from the Russian government, Mr
Snowden told NBCs Brian Williams,
in his rst interview with a U.S. tel-
evision network that aired yesterday
evening.
Mr Snowden said he destroyed clas-
sied materials before transiting to a
Moscow airport. I took nothing to
Russia, so I could give them nothing.
But former NSA Director Keith Al-
exander said earlier this month that
it was likely Mr Snowden was under
the control of Russian intelligence
agencies.
I think he is now being manipu-
lated by Russian intelligence. I just
dont know when that exactly started
or how deep it runs, Mr Alexander
said in an interview with the Austral-
ian Financial Review newspaper.
Mr Snowden is believed to have
taken 1.7 million computerised
documents. The leaked documents
revealed massive programmes run by
the NSA that gathered information
on emails, phone calls and Internet
use, in many cases, by hundreds of
millions of Americans.
He was charged last year in the
United States with theft of gov-
ernment property, unauthorised
communication of national defence
information and wilful communica-
tion of classied intelligence to an
unauthorised person.
Mr Snowden said he would like to
go home, saying If I could go any-
where in the world, that place would
be home.
Apply for an extension
But he added he would apply for an
extension as his one-year asylum in
Russia expires on August 1.
US ocials said Mr Snowden was
welcome to return to the United States
if he wanted to face justice for leaking
details of massive US intelligence-
gathering programmes.
US Secretary of State John Kerry
invited Snowden to man up and
come back to the United States.
If he has a complaint about whats
the matter with American surveil-
lance, come back here and stand in
our system of justice and make his
case, Mr Kerry told the CBS This
Morning programme yesterday.
In the interview, Mr Snowden
defended himself against claims
minimising his intelligence experi-
ence. I was trained as a spy in sort
of the traditional sense of the word
in that I lived and worked undercover
overseas pretending to work in a
job that Im not and even being
assigned a name that was not mine,
he said.
He said he had worked covertly as
a technical expert for the Central
Intelligence Agency and the National
Security Agency, as well as as a trainer
for the Defence Intelligence Agency.

BAGHDAD, Thursday
A
post-election wave of
attacks across Iraq, in-
cluding car bombings in
Baghdad and a northern city,
killed at least 74 people, of-
cials said today.
The compiled death toll for
Wednesday, with the number
rising to 74 after late-night
attacks, made it the bloodi-
est single day in Iraq in more
than seven months.
It was the latest in a
protracted surge in unrest
fuelling fears that the coun-
try is slipping back into all-out
conict.
The wave of violence could
further destabilise Iraq as
political leaders jostle to
build alliances and form a
government following April
30 elections that left Prime
Minister Nuri al-Maliki in
the drivers seat for a third
term in power.
In Baghdads deadliest
attack, a suicide bombers
detonated a vehicle rigged
with explosives in the mainly
Shiite neighbourhood of Ka-
dhimiyah in north Baghdad,
killing at least 16 people and
wounding 52, security and
medical officials said, on
condition of anonymity.
Three other car bombs blew
up in the Amin, Sadr City and
Jihad districts, costing 20
more lives.
The blasts were the latest
in a trend of militants setting
o vehicles rigged with explo-
sives during the evening, when
Baghdadis go out to markets,
restaurants and cafes.
Previously, such attacks
had typically been timed to
go off during the morning
rush-hour.
Four others were killed in
shootings and bombings in
and around the capital.
In Mosul, one of the most
violent areas of the country,
twin car bombs set off by
suicide attackers killed 21
people, including 14 soldiers
and policemen, in the west of
the city.
Also in Nineveh province,

Brad Pitt punched at movie premiere
WASHINGTON, Thursday
Actor Brad Pitt was punched
in the face last night while
signing autographs at the
Hollywood premiere of Ma-
lecent starring his partner
Angelina Jolie, news reports
said.
A man jumped over a barrier
outside the El Capitan Theatre
and attacked the actor at the
debut of the lm, Los Ange-
les police sergeant Leonard
Calderon said, according to
CNN.
CNN said neither Pitt nor
Jolie (pictured) seemed fazed
by the altercation.
Police arrested a suspect
identied as Vitalii Sediuk,
25, the Los Angeles Times
reported. It said the motive
for the attack was not im-
mediately known. CNN said
the alleged assailant could be
charged with misdemeanour
battery.
Vitalii is a Ukrainian TV
journalist who has a reputation
for celebrity-related gatecrash-
ing and stunts.
At this years Cannes lm
festival, he burst onto the red
carpet, threw himself to the
ground and put his hands
round Ugly Betty actress
America Ferreras ankles for
a few seconds.
Other targets of his aec-
tion have included Will Smith,
Madonna, British singer Adele
and Leonardo DiCaprio.
In February of last year,
he gatecrashed the Grammy
music awards, going up on
stage after presenter Jen-
nifer Lopez read out Adeles
name, The Hollywood Re-
porter says.
That stunt landed him
in jail overnight, the paper
added. (AFP)

Why TransCentury opted
out of Rift Valley Railways
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Investment rm Trans-
Century sold its stake in Rift
Valley Railways (RVR) due
to funding challenges that
prevented it from turning
around the venture.
In an interview with the
Nation, TransCentury chief
executive Gachao Kiuna said
the rm was further disad-
vantaged by its minority
stake, making it impossible
to drive the investment in
the way that we wanted.
The turnaround pro-
gramme (for RVR) was more
to do with issues related to
funding challenges. This is
the type of business where
you put in all the capital up
front then you make sure
you do an investment pro-
gramme touching on the rail
line, the locomotives, wag-
ons, the loading and the
o-loading. But what RVR
has done is that it has put in
little amounts of money over
time, said Mr Kiuna.
The piecemeal nancial
injections into the consor-
tium led to long delays in
revamping the network,
making it more challeng-
ing to get the investment
return the company had
wanted.
Our option was either
to exit and do something
else or we take control and
make sure we have a much
more aggressive investment
programme, he said.
TransCentury left RVR
after selling its 34 per cent
stake to Egyptian firm
Citadel Capital for Sh3.8
billion ($43.7 million). The
company said it recovered
its entire investment in
RVR.
However, the sale
proceeds were below the
cumulative fair value of the
investment, the rm said
equating the loss to Sh1
billion ($11.76 million).
Proceeds from the sale
will be channelled to a
range of infrastructure
projects, which will now
be the main focus going
forward. This follows a de-
cision to dispose of some
other non-infrastructure
investments.

Our option

Fidelity 47pc
prot rise
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Fidelity Bank has reported a 47
per cent after-tax prot jump in
the rst quarter of 2014, attributed
to its concentration on small and
medium-scale enterprises.
The mid-tier lender posted
Sh64.6 million compared to
Sh43.8 million registered over a
similar period last year.
Executive director Sultan
Khimji said small and medium
-scale rms are proving to be the
engine of growth in Kenya.
We are so far happy with the
increased demand for our serv-
ices from the SME sector, whose
appetite for loans has not disap-
pointed, he said.
The rst quarter results come
on the back of a protable 2013
trading year, where the bank
recorded an over 200 per cent
increase in prots to Sh317 million
from Sh102 million in 2012.
During the period under review,
loans and advances to customers
grew by more than 20 per cent
from Sh6.56 billion in 2013 to
Sh7.95 billion this year.

tandard Chartered
Bank has been hit by
a Sh9 billion surge in
nonperforming loans in the
rst three months of year, in
what management says was
due to a small number of
problem accounts.
The banks bad debts grew
ve-fold to Sh11 billion against
Sh2.2 billion recorded over the
same period last year.
While pointing out that the
loan default came from its
wholesale banking custom-
ers, the bank noted that the
overall quality of its asset
book remains good, well di-
versied and conservatively
positioned.
Proactive approach
Overall, we continue to
proactively manage our loan
portfolio and remain watchful.
While we do not see a broad-
based deterioration in asset
quality, we have increased the
number of clients subject to
additional, precautionary moni-
toring reecting our proactive
approach to managing risk in
an uncertain environment,
managing director Lamin
Manjang, said in a statement
yesterday.
Central Bank issued new
prudential guidelines to banks
on the treatment of non-per-
forming loans last year which
led to a rise in their bad books,
compelling them to set aside
extra money as provision for
defaults.
The new rules now require
lenders to classify as non-
performing all loan accounts
of a borrower who defaults on
repayment of any one of their
multiple loans for more than
three months. This provision
saw banks bad loans in the
year ending 2013, jump by 30.9
per cent to Sh80.6 billion, the
highest in six years.
A survey by CBK recently
revealed that most banks ex-
pected non-performing loans
to rise in the rst quarter of
2014 driven by budget strains
in homes after the December
festivities and January com-
mitments.
Net bad debt charge de-
creased marginally to Sh236
million against Sh254 million
charged to the prot and loss
account last year, a sign that
the bank is optimistic that
it will be able to recover the
debt.
Well positioned
The banks after-tax prot for
the period went up 34 per cent
to hit Sh2.5 billion, up from
Sh1.8 billion recorded over
the same period in 2013.
The bank grew its net in-
terest income by 19 per cent
during the period to Sh4.5
billion.
Our business is well posi-
tioned to continue being the
right partner to our clients,
Mr Manjang said.

evelopment of infrastructure
at the planned Konza tech-
nology city has begun, with
Kenya Power starting to lay power
lines even as the future of the city
looks shaky.
The electricity supplier on Tuesday
started the initiative following the
completion of a Sh28 million survey
by the University of Nairobi.
Demarcated parcels
The study also set the stage for
other utility firms and the Kenya
Urban Roads Authority to begin
work in Konza. Further, the univer-
sity demarcated parcels of land that
will be leased out to investors in the
rst phase of the project.
We will use the survey to guide
the layout of more infrastructure.
Next, we are going to carry out due
diligence on potential investors, said
Konza Technopolis Development
Authority acting chief executive
Catherine Adeya. Some 345 local
and international companies have
expressed interest in investing in
the planned technopolis. According
to Dr Adeya, Equity Bank has com-
mitted to construct a Sh3 billion data
centre in Konza.
Nevertheless, the project is at risk
of bleeding investors. Construction
has been delayed by a year with Dr
Adeya saying this has had an adverse
impact on investors.
Safaricom had planned to built an
M-Pesa academy, which would nurture
young entrepreneurs but has since re-
located the project. The mobile rm
had hoped to enrol the rst class by
January 2015, but the authority was
unable to provide concrete details on
leasing plans or construction time
lines. In a statement, Safaricom said it
would await more clarity on how the
project is progressing before making
any further commitment.
Some multinationals are also
turning their focus to other African
countries such as Ghana, Rwanda, and
Ethiopia that have similar projects.

Apple to buy
Beats Music
in $3bn deal
NEW YORK, Thursday
Apple announced plans yester-
day to buy Beats Music and Beats
Electronics in a deal worth $3 bil-
lion that gives the US tech giant
more clout in the hotly contested
music sector.
The move is expected to help
Apple, which was a pioneer in on-
line music, ramp up its eorts to
counter the successful models of
streaming services like Pandora,
Spotify and others.
Apples largest acquisition ever,
the deal for the maker of high-end
audio equipment and stream-
ing music service calls for Beats
co-founders Dr Dre and Jimmy
Iovine to join the California rm.
Music is such an important
part of all of our lives and holds a
special place within our hearts at
Apple, CEO Tim Cook said.
Adding Beats will give Apple
fresh star power in music and the
ability to get more ad revenues
from streaming, including mobile.

BEIJING, Thursday
E
uropean businesses fear
the good times are
over in China, a survey
showed today, citing the coun-
trys slowing economic growth,
rising labour costs, falling
prots, regulatory hurdles and
pollution.
The Business Confidence
Survey 2014 report, released by
the European Chamber business
group and consultancy Roland
Berger showed rms have be-
come increasingly pessimistic
as the economy slows.
Business is already tough and
it is getting tougher, the report
said. This is leading many to
the conclusion that the good
times are over.
The survey comes as Chinas
once double-digit annual growth
rates have eased in recent years,
sitting in the mid-seven per cent
range as its leaders try to pivot
the economy away from rely-
ing on exports and big-ticket
public investments. But while
top ocials say they welcome
the weaker rates as part of the
drive to a more sustainable
growth model, the report said
the slow-down surpassed rising
labour costs as the number one
perceived challenge for future
business in China.
Mr Joerg Wuttke, president of
the European Chamber, told re-
porters: Of course, its no major
surprise if you are experiencing
growth in the last 10 to 20 years
of 10 per cent or more in GDP
(gross domestic product) and it
will go down to seven per cent
that you feel that business has
become more dicult.
The survey, based on re-
sponses from 552 European
businesses in China, found that
68 per cent of large companies
with more than 1,000 employees said doing business had become
harder over the past two years.
A new sober reality is devel-
oping, the survey said, citing
steadily declining nancial per-
formance, downwardly revised
business plans and regulatory
obstacles among reasons.
The companies noted that
margins are tight, but for the
rst time in the history of this
survey, margins have been in
China on average lower than
it was on their global company
average protability, Mr Wuttke
said. (AFP)

Defending champion Rafael
Nadal handed out a bruis-
ing lesson to highly-rated
Austrian Dominic Thiem
yesterday as a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3
victory took the Spaniard
into the French Open third
round.
Eight-time winner Nadal
(left), bidding to be the rst
man to clinch five Roland
Garros titles in a row, had
been expected to face a se-
vere test from the 20-year-old
world number 57.
But Thiem, who trains
for big matches by running
through forests carrying tree
trunks to build stamina, ran
out of steam on Philippe
Chatrier court despite show-
ing occasional glimpses of
potential.
Nadal took his career
record in Paris to 61 wins
against a single loss and goes
on to face either Leonardo
Mayer of Argentina or Rus-
sias Teymuraz Gabashvili.
Dominic is a dangerous
player and I knew that if I
wasnt playing well then Id be
in trouble, said Nadal.
But he is a future star, 100
percent. His level of ball is
very high, he is strong on
the forehand and backhand.
He has everything to be a big
champion. (AFP)

Froome hits out at anti-doping bodies
Tour de France champion Chris Froome (right) has blasted anti-
doping authorities for failing to test riders at altitude training
in Tenerife. Froome, 28, said he was stunned not to have been
tested there during a two-week training camp. Three major
TDF contenders staying on Mt Teide and no out-of-competition
tests for the past two weeks. Very disappointing, said Froome
on Twitter. The Tour is just over a month away and potential
winners are in a crucial phase of their training.

A
thletics Kenya is caught be-
tween a rock and a hard place
over the selection of Team
Kenya for the Commonwealth Games
and Africa Championships.
Even though AK has reverted to
hosting both the National Champi-
onships and trials from June 5 to
7, the Vice President in charge of
administration, competitions and in-
ternational aairs, David Okeyo said
a panel of selectors will have the nal
say on who makes the team.
Okeyo indicated that things have
been complicated by the Rome Dia-
mond League, due June 5, and the
requirement by the National Olym-
pic Committee of Kenya (Nock) to
submit Team Kenya for the Club
Games on June 12.
AK had initially slated the National
Championships for June 5-6 and Tri-
als for the Commonwealth and Africa
contests for June 7. The Common-
wealth Games will be held from July
23 to August 3 in Glasgow, Scotland,
and the Africa Championships, where
the continental team will be named
for the World Cup, from August 10-
14 in Marrakech, Morocco.
We have seen its not viable for
the athletes to run in Rome on June
5 and make it for the Trials espe-
cially those competing in 5,000m,
said Okeyo.
We have considered having most
of the nals on June 7 but its still
complicated.
Okeyo said that they will now
resort to the panel of selectors to
pick Team Kenya but insisted that
the Nationals-cum-Trials will go on
as scheduled without the athletes
who will be in Rome.
Good times
Okeyo said it will now be important
for athletes who will be in Rome and
those in Nairobi for the Nationals
and Trials to post good time since
that is where the selectors will base
the selection from.
We are still exploring on the
events that will not be aected by
Rome Diamond League. We will hold
trials for such events while the selec-
tors will handle the rest based on the
athletes times, said Okeyo.
In Rome, Kenyans elite male
athletes will compete in 1,500m,
800m and 3,000m steeplechase
while female runners have entered
800m and 5,000m events.
Kenya has 23 elite athletes at the
Rome event. We cant bar them from
competing since they have signed
contracts with the organisers and
absconding would attract a ban,
said Okeyo.

WEEKEND FIXTURES
In-form Owuor faces stern test at Nyanza course
BY LARRY NGALA
@LarryNgala
lngala@ke.nationmedia.com
Fresh from his one-point victory in
last weekends Pan Africa Life Cancer
Challenge, Sylvester Owuors form will
once again be put to test this weekend at
the par 70 Nyanza Golf Club course.
During the Pan Africa Life Challenge,
Owuor, then playing o handicap 16,
carded a total of 37 points to beat his
club chairman Dan Ajulu by the narrow
margin of a point.
Now playing o handicap 15, Owuor
will be among a eld of 120 golfers
who will be vying for the more than 10
prizes during the Tim Onyango Memo-
rial tournament sponsored by members
of the Sunset Golng Society and the
family of the late who died in a car ac-
cident in 2009.
Before his death Onyango, who was
one of the leading golfers at Muthaiga
Golf Club and the country, had served
as a captain in 2004 and chairman in
2006. But back on the weekend action,
besides club boss Ajulu, Owuor is likely
to face some of the clubs big names
such as Raju Bhayani, Joseph Atito,
club captain Jazz Sokhi, Rana Sultan,
handicap two Peter Owino, Philip Mbu-
gua, Georey Obuon, and Paul Otieno
among others.
Sunset Golfing Society chairman
Barth Ragalo will lead the strong
contingent of his members drawn
from various clubs in the country who
include Royal Nairobis long hitting
Jack Okuku (pictured), Ken Nyangaga,
Wyclie Onyango, Muthaigas Maurice
Kanjejo, and Dan Owino.
Two professionals Erick Ooko of
Royal and home pro David Odhiambo
are also drawn in the event which will
be followed by a memorial service at
the late Tim Onyangos home in Sakwa,
Awendo on Sunday.
Elsewhere, three Madaraka Day
events will take place at Ruiru, Nakuru
and Nyali while the Mount Kenya
region will be equally busy with the
Sports Mans Arms Hotel event at
Nanyuki and the Shell Diesel Extra at
Nyeri Golf Club. Kakamega will stage
the last event in the Kenya Ladies Golf
Union fund raising events.

AFCON QUALIFIERS | Home team vows to toss Harambee Stars out of the continental showpiece
Amrouche: We will do the job
BY ISAAC SWILA
@IsaacSwila
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com
C
omoros will be hoping to
turn the tables on visiting
Kenya today in the return
leg of their 2015 Africa Cup of Na-
tions qualiers at the Mitsamihuli
Stadium in Moroni.
The match kicks o at 3pm
Kenyan time. Although, Stars
hold a slim advantage going
into the tie, Comoros are hope-
ful of tossing their much fancied
opponents out of the race for the
continental showpiece.
Expectations are high in
Moroni with President Ikililou
Dhoine rallying the countrys
estimated 800,000 population
to come out in numbers and
cheer the team to victory.
We are all with you, behind
you and wish you the best of luck.
While in Nairobi, I called over 10
times to give you my support and
that of the people. Now it will
be dierent because you are at
home, President Dhoinehe was
quoted by Comoros leading daily
Al-Watwan when he hosted the
team to a luncheon.
We hope to live up to the
expectations. We are affected
by these moments, said team
captain Nadjim Abdou.
With Kenyas slim 1-0 cushion,
there is everything to ght for in
the match, something coach Adel
Amrouche is fully aware of.
Ease pressure
A draw will be sucient to
secure Stars passage to the
next round although an early
goal would ease the pressure
on Amrouches men. On the
other hand, an early goal for
the hosts would turn the game
on its head.
Speaking to Daily Nation
Sports prior to the teams de-
parture, Amrouche was upbeat
but cautious on what to expect
in the game.
I have the best possible squad.
We have had ample training and
whoever I pick to start should
be able to do the job, Amrouche
said. Even with the expulsion of
lead striker Dennis Oliech, the
team is buoyed by the return of
first choice custodian Arnold
Origi who missed the rst leg
match in Nairobi.
Amrouche could elect to
employ a 4-4-2 system while
his Comoros counterpart Amir
Abdou is expected to retain the
bulk of the players who did duty
in Nairobi.

Bukhungu set for
Sh800m upgrade
BY TITUS MAERO
titus.maero@gmail.com
The County Government of
Kakamega will spend a massive
Sh 800 million to reconstruct Buk-
hungu Stadium that was banned by
the Kenyan Premier League (KPL)
from hosting league matches this
season.
Kakamega Governor Wycliffe
Oparanya said his County Govern-
ment plans to carry out a major
overhaul to transform the facility
into a modern sports complex.
Early this year, KPLs Stadiums
Safety and Security Committee,
headed by Laban Jobita, banned Buk-
hungu Stadium from hosting league
matches owing to its poor state.
Yesterday, Oparanya said a contrac-
tor to oversee the upgrading of the
stadium and its precincts has been
approved by the Kakamega County
Assembly.
Apart from laying an articial turf
on the pitch, the running track will
also be improved. A modern restau-
rant, tennis and basketball courts
and oodlights will also be installed
at the venue.
We have estimated the reconstruc-
tion to take four years, Oparanya said
while commissioning the rehabilita-
tion of roads in Kakamega town.
Kakamega County is rich in foot-
ball talent but much of the promising
talent has gone to waste due to lack
of a modern facility.
But this should not be the case
because football has become an
alternative source of employment
for many youngsters elsewhere,
he added.

London
N
igeria coach Stephen Keshi
launched a furious defence
of his players following
Wednesdays 2-2 draw with Scot-
land in a match whose build-up had
been disrupted over a matchxing
investigation being launched.
Keshi, who captained Nigeria at the
1994 World Cup nals, said his World
Cup nals-bound players were not
gamblers they were footballers and
ridiculed allegations that anything
sinister had taken place.
The game was threatened after
Britains serious crime squad the
National Crime Agency were called
to investigate a possible threat of
match-xing linked to illegal betting
rings ahead of the game at Fulhams
ground in London.
But Keshi, who coached Nigeria
to the Africa Cup of Nationa title
last year, said his team were not af-
fected by the o-eld issues before
the kick-o.
We did (talk about it) because
its something ridiculous, something
that we dont know where its com-
ing from. Were not gamblers, we are
football players, said Keshi.
I dont even know where that is
coming from, we dont know what
happened, match xing or no match
xing.
This
is the rst time Ive been a coach or
been a player and the rst time Im
hearing this, match-xing. I dont
think it had anything to do with our
build-up or the game.
On the pitch Charlie Mulgrew
opened the scoring for the Tartan
Army after 10 minutes before Michael
Uchebo equalised with four minutes
left of the rst half.
The Scots regained the lead
through a bizarre own goal by reserve
goalkeeper Azubuike Egwuekwe who
appeared to ick the ball into his own
net from James Morrisons cross in
the 52nd minute.
But super-sub Uche Nwofor con-
verted an equaliser in stoppage time
in a game that the Nigerians looked
second best in throughout.
Scotland coach Gordon Strachan
was delighted with the way his
side played as they extended their
unbeaten streak to six - whilst also
refusing to be drawn on the match-
xing storm.
I liked that performance, said
Strachan.
I think the only thing we had a
problem with is that some of the lads
have not trained for three weeks and
have been on holiday.
We could have ended up with four
or ve goals and thats the rst time
I have said that.
In terms of play so far, thats as
good as it gets. Overall I think there
was a bit of air and imagination,
which I like and it was against a top
side. (AFP)
Road to Brazil 13 Days to G -AL!
CAMPANA, Argentina
Star Colombia striker Radamel Falcao
(pictured) is to be given until the last
minute to prove his World Cup tness,
coach Jose Pekerman said Wednesday.
We will wait until the last minute of
the last day, said the Argentine coach
from the teams World Cup training base
in Cardales, near Buenos Aires.
Pekerman, who coached his native
Argentina at the 2006 World Cup nals
where they went out in the quarter-nals
to Germany, must submit his nal 23-man
squad by June 2, ahead of the global show-
piece kick-o 10 days later.
Falcao, 28 and who has scored 20 goals
in 51 international appearances, suered
serious knee ligament damage playing for
his club Monaco in a French Cup tie on
January 22 and has not played since.
One player who is definitely out is
Fluminense midelder Edwin Valencia
due to physical problems.
We were forced to exclude Edwin Va-
lencia, who has several injuries, added
Pekerman.
Before leaving for Brazil, where they
are in Group C with Greece, Japan and
Cameroon, Colombia play friendlies in
the Argentine capital against Senegal on
May 31 and Jordan on June 6.
In Rio de Janeiro, Fifa secretary general
Jerome Valcke on Wednesday voiced fresh
criticism of Brazils World Cup prepara-
tions by indicating the northeastern venue
of Natal had work to do to be ready for
the event starting June 12.
Race against the clock. Still lots to
be done for World Cup fans and media,
Valcke wrote on Twitter after visiting the
host stadium in the city. (AFP)

rameters including the Elo ranking of in-
dividual countrys football success, goals
scored and conceded in recent matches,
past World Cup results and the advan-
tage of the tournament venue. (AFP)

Manchester United fans yester-

Malcolm Glazer, who has died aged
85, as deep resentment still lingers
over his debt-ladened takeover.
United fans staged mass protests
and burnt season ticket forms when
the American nally took over the
club in 2005. Disgruntled support-
ers even set up a new club, called
F.C. United of Manchester.
A popular chant heard at F.C.
United games looked forward to
Glazers passing, and although
attitudes softened as the Premier
League giant enjoyed one of its
most succesful spells, support-

Trust vice-chair Sean Bones said:
It would be inappropriate for me to
make any comment about the death
of Malcolm Glazer as I didnt know
him or his family personally.
However, as a supporter, I am
aware of the detrimental eect the
Glazers have had on the football
club and the huge debt that has
been placed on Manchester United.
Malcolm Glazer wasnt a board
member and his children are on
the board, so I dont think that
situation changes much.
Fans took to club forums to call
for a respectful reaction.

Scotland in controversial London friendly
Berlin
G
ermanys World Cup prepara-
tion has been hit by a week of
turbulence in which a car crash,
injuries, a scandal and a driving ban
have all caused disruption.
Head coach Joachim Loew took his
squad to a luxury, ve-star hotel
in south Tirols St. Leonhard
for 10 days to prepare his stars
for their World Cup Group G
campaign, which starts on
June 16 against Portugal in
Salvador.
Yet a series of unfortu-
nate incidents have left
some squad members
seeking the services
of the teams sports
psychologist Hans-
Dieter Hermann.
Defender Kevin
Grosskreutz caused
a scandal just before the
camp started by urinating in the foyer
of a Berlin hotel after the German Cup
nal, the same match where captain
Philipp Lahm and goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer picked up worrying injuries.
Loew was also hit with a six-month
driving ban as the German Football
Association (DFB) daily press confer-
ences became an exercise in damage
limitation.
But the worst was still to come on
Tuesday when a 63-year-old German
was seriously injured after being hit
by a car driven by professional tour-
ing car racer Pascal Wehrlein, 19,
with Germany centre-back Benedikt
Hoewedes as his passenger.
A course steward was also hurt in
the accident during the Mercedes
sponsored event, which included For-
mula One star and Monaco Grand Prix
winner Nico Rosberg, on the grounds
of the team hotel.
The product presentation, which
had allowed Germanys World Cup
stars to hitch a ride with professional
drivers, quickly turned into a public
relations nightmare for both Mercedes
and the DFB. Of course, the situation
was a shock for me, the 26-year-old
Hoewedes said after the crash.
The images will stay in my head for
a long time. I have talked it over with
the coach, the team and the backroom
sta. My thoughts are with those in-
jured and their families.
Team manager Oliver Bierho said
Hoewedes and attacking midelder
Julian Draxler, who also witnessed
the crash, had spoken to the teams
psychologist, while the DFB are set to
review future sponsors events.

Australia became the rst team

away under tight security.
About 100 Brazilian fans were
waiting at Vitoria airport but the
Socceroos, arriving in darkness,
went straight from their plane to
a bus with blacked-out windows
and were whisked away to their

riot police were also at the air-
port, with authorities apparently
fearing a repeat of protests.

Riberys return from injury while
also playing down concerns over
the tness of Karim Benzema.
Ribery was rested for Tuesdays

warned.
The Islamic Republic start their

TIMELY EXAMINATION
Sokratis sees Portugal
friendly as key test
Greece defender Sokratis Pa-
pastathopoulos says Saturdays
friendly with Portugal is a good
test ahead of the World Cup,
which begins next month.
We are still in training and
it is too early to talk about the
tournament, which begins in two
weeks, the 26-year-old Borus-
sia Dortmund player said before
Thursdays training session.
In the rst friendly against
Portugal we will face a very good
team and on their home pitch. We
will be able to see what work has
been done and to see if we should
improve some things by doing
something dierent.

Neutral Switzerland hosted the rst
post-World War II World Cup in Eu-
rope and the tournament returned
to its knockout system to decide the
winner.
West Germany returned to the inter-
national fold and the Ferenc Puskas-
inspired Hungary, who had handed
England a historic 6-3 defeat at Wem-
bley prior to the nals, were the strong
favourites.
The Hungarians demolished a deliber-
ately weakened West German side 8-3
in the opening round, adding to a 9-0
demolition of South Korea.
Their quarter-nal against Brazil
turned ugly. The Battle of Berne, as the
match was later labelled, saw two Bra-
zilians and a Hungarian sent o.
The ghting continued in the dressing
rooms after the match, which Hungary
won 4-2.
Hungary faced West Germany in the
nal and the result seemed a formality.
They were soon 2-0 ahead through
Puskas and Zoltan Czibor.
But the determined West Germans
pulled level within 10 minutes and
Helmut Rahn scored the winner ve
minutes from the end.

LEGEND
Ferenc Puskas
Hungary: b. 1927, d. 2006
Supreme scorer for Hungary with 83
goals in 84 internationals and when
most people thought his great days
were behind him he embarked on
another dazzling career in his 30s for
Real Madrid.
Short and stocky, he could not shoot
with his right foot and headed the ball
only when he had to but his left foot
was deadly.
Incredible ball control allied to a quick,
alert mind made him exploit openings
before opponents had even seen them.
A likeable personality o the eld,
the Galloping Major as he became
known was not always a favourite
with the Hungarian fans because of
his occasionally unsportsmanlike be-
haviour.
Puskas was blamed for Hungarys
defeat in the 1954 nal because he
insisted on playing when he knew he
was not t, having been injured in the
group game against West Germany.

T
welve people have
been killed in renewed
fighting along the
Wajir and Mandera border
prompting the government
to deploy the army in the
region.
Wajir County Governor
Ahmed Abdullahi put the
number at 12, but an in-
dependent source said the
toll could be 18, bringing the
number of those who had
died from the clan ghts to
at least 30.
Seventeen others have
died in the past two
weeks.
The clashes at Gunana
Village began when three
men from the Degodia clan
were killed at Burmayow, a
border location.
The assailants were said
to have been Gare. Accord-
ing to the Degodia, the Gare
from Mandera County were
opposed to the construction
of a 25-kilometre road link-
ing the two counties.
Two men were arrested
last evening with 663 rounds
of ammunition and 23 AK-47
magazines.
Wajir County police com-
mander David Kirui said
police were investigating
whether those arrested were
involved in the clan ghts.
A source, who did not
want to be named discuss-
ing the sensitive matter, told
the Nation members of the
Degodia clan had attacked
the Gare clan to avenge the
death of two their own four
days ago.
After heavy ghting, the
Degodia retreated but the
Gare pursued them. Heavy
gunre could be heard fol-
lowed by an explosion,
added the source.
The explosion, he said
,was of an explosive device
that had been thrown into a
cave where 11 members of
the Dagodia clan had taken
cover.
Defence Cabinet Secretary
Raychelle Omamo said in a
gazette notice dated May 22
that soldiers would sup-
port the police in guarding
the main highways but would
be given more roles.

End of the
Lunatic line?
Today, nearly 100 years since Indian coolies laid the
last piece of iron on the lunatic track, it has grown a
bit obsolete as passenger and cargo schedules are
rarely met. Little wonder, then, that the region is
racing to lay modern tracks as competition heats up
between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam
BY JOSHUA MASINDE

I
t is rare, when travelling from
Mombasa to Uganda by road, to
see a train trudging on the god-
forsaken, narrow-gauge line that
keeps popping up every often on the
side. But, should one get lucky at
some point between Mombasa and
Nairobi, or Nairobi and Kampala,
one will see the Lunatic Express in
its characteristically archaic and rusty
demeanour, twirling across vales and
plains like a massive millipede.
In the course of that journey, also,
one is likely to get irritated by a eet
of long-distance trucks competing with
passenger service and private vehicles
plying the busy 1,700-kilometre
highway that connects Kenya, from
Mombasa, to Kigali in Rwanda through
Nairobi and Kampala, Uganda.
On a lucky day, the journey takes
about 20 hours from Mombasa to
Kampala via Malaba by road, and
an additional eight hours from
Kampala onwards to Kigali. But that
is just a passenger on transit. With
a high-speed and ecient passenger
railway network, the transit time would
be greatly cut down and comfort
improved.
Many sections of the long stretch
are also too rough and bumpy, thanks
to the weight imposed on them by
the multiple long-distance trucks.
Even new roads are rendered less
friendly by the trucks that have made
permanent folds.
According to the Africa Progress
Report 2014, exorbitant transport costs
and under-investment in infrastructure
have been key barriers to intra-regional
trade, but this can be overcome by
regional cooperation on energy and
transport to achieve economies of
scale in infrastructure projects.
The Lunatic Express, which is
the current Kenya-Uganda train,
was designed to ease the rather
wearisome journey from Kenyas coast
to destinations across the country and
in the East African region.
The purpose for its construction in
the 1890s was to connect Kenyas coast
to the East African interior during the
colonial era. Of particular interest was
Uganda, on which the British wanted a
stranglehold given its position as the
source of River Nile.
With the rail track in place, the
British would move soldiers quickly
from the Kenyan coast to the
hinterland, and onwards to the Great
Lakes region to defend its empire
against bitter colonial rivals, Germany
and France.
British legislator Henry
Laboucheres denunciation of the
plan by his government to build the
Iron Snake would later give birth to its
famous tagline; the Lunatic Express.
He questioned the logic of constructing
the rail network, arguing: Where it is
going, nobody knows. What is the use
of it; none can conjecture. It is clearly
nought but a lunatic line.
Today, nearly 100 years since
Indian coolies laid the last piece of
iron on the lunatic track, it has grown
a bit obsolete as passenger and cargo
schedules are rarely met. Cows,
goats and sheep, taking advantage of
the little trac on this line, have the
luxury of resting on some isolated parts
of the track, relishing in the safety of
a rundown network that has failed
countless attempts to keep it spick
and span. Some parts have been
overgrown by grass, while yet many
others lie beneath mounds of dirt.
That is why analysts forecast that
the signing of nancing deal between
China and Kenya on May 11 this year

With the signing of the nancing deal between China and

Lunatic Express, whose existence is overloaded with tonnes of
history of ineciency. Across the border, Tanzania, which is not
part of the SGR, has embarked on a Sh28.7 billion revamping
of the Central Transport Corridor connecting Dar es Salaam

coverstory coverstory coverstory coverstory
the road for the Lunatic Express.
The China Road and Bridge
Corporation (CRBC) will undertake
the construction of the SGR, which
will accommodate some 1,620 freight
wagons, 59 locomotives and 40
passenger coaches that are to form
part of the new rail network.
The freight trains will have a speed
ceiling of 80 kilometres per hour while
passenger trains will be limited at 120
kilometres per hour.
The Chinese contractors have been
ghting accusations that they were
single-sourced for the work, and that
the cost was inflated, but, despite
the nger-pointing, China, which is
planning to build an ambitious 13,000-
kilometre rail to connect bullet trains
to the US via Russia, is expected by
many to deliver on the promise of a
new rail network for East Africa, given
the Asian giants record of having the
largest rail network in the world.
Faster transportation
Mr Kassim Omar, chairman of
the Uganda Clearing Industry and
Forwarding Association, argues
that the SGR would facilitate wider
and faster transportation of cargo
and labour in the entire region. He,
however, cautions that the new rail
will not be a silver bullet to solving
the cost of products.
Before the elimination of most forms
of non-tari barriers like roadblocks, it
used to take at least 18 days for a truck
to transport goods from Mombasa to
Kampala and back; now it takes about
seven days. That time could still be
cut down to four through the SGR,
according to Mr Omar, who also
doubles up as a director at the East
African Business Council (EABC).
The issue of efficiency in the
transportation process is very
important. As long as cargo is
moved eciently on the new rail, the
possibility is that time will be reduced
to four or ve days from Mombasa to
Kampala and back.
Kenyas Transport ministry has
often condemned the Rift Valley
Railways (RVR), which holds a 25-
year concession to manage the freight
business and maintain the Lunatic
Express, over underperformance.
The concessionaires passenger deal
was cut to one year from ve and its
future is now threatened by the new
network. An earlier 25-year concession
that was to be handed over to South
Africas Sheltam Rail Company in
2006 never took o, further derailing
plans to resuscitate the cash-draining
service.
The 2014 Economic Survey released
by the Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics (KNBS) indicates that the
railway transport sub-sector was in
2013 characterised by declines in both
freight and passenger streams.
The declines were partly attributed
to poor rail infrastructure and
aging equipment which incur high
maintenance costs and occasionally
result in derailments, the Economic
Survey indicated.
Speaking of the SGR project, the
Kenya Railways MD Atanas Maina,
said his team was under no illusions
as to the enormity of the task ahead
since this project is unmatched in the
history of Kenya in terms of scope and
cost.
The 609 kilometres of a single-
track line from Mombasa to Nairobi
will be built rst as part of a regional
tri-partite project connecting Kenya,
Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan.
The second phase will involve the
construction of the line from Nairobi
to Malaba, a border town, with another
line branching to Kisumu. The nal
plan is to connect the SGR from
Mombasa to Kigali, through Kampala
and onwards to Juba. The entire East
African project could cost in excess
of Sh1.2 trillion.
Coupled with the reduction of
various forms of non-tari barriers
like a number of weighbridges and
roadblocks in the Northern Transport
Corridor that connects Kenya, Uganda
and Rwanda, the new line is expected
to enhance trade deals and cut down
the cost of doing business in the East
African region, which has about 140
million people.
For Mr Adalbert Hamisi, a truck
driver from Rwanda, the SGR will
boost the economies of East African
countries, making trade across borders
almost seamless. It takes him at most
seven days to transport goods from
Mombasa to Kigali by road. But under
the new system the transportation of
goods will be much faster, even though
it will have to correspond with the full
operation of the One-Stop Border Posts
(OSBPs) that are being constructed at
various border points within the East
African Community (EAC).
The proposed
design of a
high-speed
viaduct between
Embakasi and
Athi River.
Currently, the goods cleared from
one country are also cleared on the
other side of the neighbouring country,
reducing the turnaround time. But the
OSBPs will allow clearance of goods
in single customs territory at border
points and this should add to the
eciency the new high-speed train
is set to bring.
The problem now is the slow
clearance at the border points, Mr
Hamisi said in an interview at the
Malaba border.
But East Africa could just have
grasped a chance for another
renaissance with presidents Uhuru
Kenyatta of Kenya, Yoweri Museveni of
Uganda, Paul Kagame of Rwanda and
Salva Kiir of South Sudan standing by
the Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang
as he signed the nancing agreement
for the SGR.
President Kenyatta is optimistic
that the new line would sharply
bring down the cost of transporting
people and goods across the region.
The indication was that the cost of
transporting one tonne of cargo would
fall from 20 US cents per kilometre
to eight US cents over the same
distance.
Chinas goodies are not coming
on a silver platter though, according
to analysts. The most populous and
second largest economy in the world
continues to develop colossal appetite
for Africas raw materials and minerals
like oil to feed a ballooning demand
back home. The country is also out
to look for markets in Africa for its
nished products.
To cement its interest on the African
continent, China has increased its
funding of infrastructure projects
on the continent and promises
multi-billion-dollar, no-political-
strings-attached nancing deals.
The new line will leave an indelible
mark on the economies of participating
countries. Kenyas part will cost Sh327
billion ($3.8 billion) and construction
work will kick o in August this year.
But Nairobi will have to pay back
at least Sh500 billion ($5.7 billion)
to clear the loan. Uganda, which is
Kenyas biggest trading partner, plans
to tap private sector funds to bankroll
its side of the SGR.
During the Africa Investor CEO
infrastructure investment summit
in Abuja, Nigeria on May 6, African
leaders stressed the need to invest
in regional and cross-border
infrastructure deals jointly as such
investments have the potential to
greatly boost trade, improve security,
strengthen the management of natural
resources, and unlock the potential of
landlocked countries while leveraging
on national and regional comparative
advantages.
In the East African Community,
deliberate priority is given to the
development of key regional transport
corridors that in turn support trade
and investment, President Kenyatta,
who is also the current chairman of
the EAC, said during the summit. An
important aspect of our infrastructure
development is the need for a regional
approach. Economies of scale from
regional infrastructure often cut the
costs of construction and services.
Paul Collier, an Economics
Professor, in a publication for the
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
in 2011, noted that new transportation
infrastructure like railways are vital to
harness potential sources of growth
on the continent.
Open up vast tracts
By radically reducing transportation
costs, railways could open up vast tracts
of Africa to economic opportunities,
especially in agriculture and mining,

This line is expected to haul over 30

BY DAVID ZWEIG
The New York Times Syndicate
I
n October 2004, a project called Lab126,
staed by brilliant and accomplished
engineers, began a three-year venture
developing a device that would revolutionise
an industry. Just a year into the endeavour,
the huge tech company behind it brought in
an outside rm to create a key component
of the product: its name.
Michael Cronan, the head of the outside
rm, ultimately chose a word that meant to
start a re, to arouse. The company that
brought in Cronan is Amazon.com. The
product is, of course, the Kindle.
Product names often seem like mere
afterthoughts to more serious concerns in
research and development projects, but Je
Bezos, Amazons CEO, felt dierently. Je
wanted to talk about the future of reading,
but in a small, not braggadocio, way, Karin
Hibma, Cronans former business partner
and now widow, said in an interview with
a design journalist. The name had to strike
just the right tone and provide a solid root
for numerous expected spin-os.
Cronans thoughtful approach has
produced numerous brand names that are
embedded in our culture. Untold millions
read, speak and think about them every day.
Yet the name Michael Cronan is unknown. No
one thinks about where names come from.
Cronan is a member of a class of workers
who can be referred to as invisibles. These
are extremely capable and committed
professionals who could easily succeed in
high-prole careers, but instead gravitate to
work that is outside the spotlight.
These types of workers are a management
challenge. Because they dont crave
recognition, they dont spend time on
self-promotion. Its easy to take them for
granted.
What does it mean to be an invisible?
Despite the diversity of their careers,
invisibles share certain traits, three of which
are most outstanding.
Ambivalence toward recognition: We all do
work that is anonymous to some extent, but
most of us strive for recognition. Invisibles
take a dierent approach. For them, any time
spent courting praise is time taken away from
the important work at hand. The better they
do their jobs, the more they disappear into
the background.
Meticulousness: Sitting in the elegant
Manhattan office of David Apel, the
perfumer behind some of the best-selling
ne fragrances in the world, one could be
forgiven for thinking it was the oce of
any accomplished big-city professional, if
not for the dozens of glass vials arranged
on the desk like a stash of medicines from
an 18th-century doctor.
Apel is an artist with a scientists
knowledge and fastidious methodology.
Before he reached his vaunted position, he
spent years in the lab accumulating a vast
store of knowledge about chemistry. To create
a new fragrance, Apel spends months of trial
and error.
With some fragrances stretching into
hundreds of ingredients, each one measured
to within hundredths or even thousandths of a
gram, a meticulous log of each permutation is
essential. Meticulousness is so widespread
and so deeply embedded in the work ethic of
the invisibles. During all my interviews with
them, I knew it was just a matter of time
before they would utter the word.
Savouring of responsibility: Some
of the first invisibles I spoke with were
anaesthesiologists. A patient never forgets
the name of the surgeon who removed
his gallbladder, but the anaesthesiologist
is remembered only if something goes
horribly wrong. When these doctors do
their jobs perfectly, they are never thought
of. Yet they literally have patients lives in
their hands.
Invisibles show us that power and visibility
are not always aligned. We might think that
the person at the head of the boardroom table
is the one with all the responsibility, but its
often someone unknown to the public who
bears much of the weight.
Managing and fostering invisible stars
Invisibles are among the most highly
respected members of organisations. If you
want to retain them, the usual carrots probably
wont work. But although recognition is not
their motivation, acknowledging them as
models, leaders, and as the proverbial team
players, is exactly what you should do to
ensure their satisfaction.
Another task for managers is to decide if
they want more invisibles on the team. In
our age of gross attention seeking, its likely
that your team could use a bigger dose of the
invisibles ethic. How do you get it?
One seemingly large-scale but executable
solution is to alter your corporate culture. Use
all the signalling devices in your repertoire,
from celebrating what you want to see more
of to promoting leaders who are models, to
make it clear that tooting ones horn wont
accomplish much.
Rewarding invisibles fairly is essential,
despite how hard they might make that
for you. Dont mistake their lack of self-
promotion for a lack of understanding of

You have a job opening in your organisation.
You post a description in the local dailies, go
through volumes of applications and conduct
lengthy interviews. Eventually, you nd the right
candidate for the job.
They accept the oer and you sigh with relief.
But thats only a temporary break. The hard work
just started.
First, you pray that the new employee shows
up on their rst day of work, so that you dont
start all over again on the exhausting recruitment
journey.
The new employee reports to work as planned,
and that triggers the task of on-boarding and
training. All the while, you hope that the new
employee will stick around long enough so that
you dont lose all the time and money you have
invested in them so far. That means you worry about
retention. It is every managers headache, more
so inthese times when competition for talented
professionals is on a high.
Traditionally, organisations have focused on
enhancing benets packages to keep sta on board.
They oer attractive medical cover, allowances
and training. They provide all those material stu
in a bid to keep workers around for much longer.
Unfortunately, these common perks leave out some
of the things that really matter to employees.
Tailor your benets
But wait a minute; sta dont have common
needs all the time. Hence the argument that the
best way to ensure that your new hire sticks around
and that you are attracting even more top talent
is to oer a competitive benets packages that
matter most to the particular person.
Well, this could be easier said than done, but if
you take time to know your employees and the new
hires, and you recognise what type of personality
each has, you can tailor your benets to t the
needs of at least dierent groups.
There are some things that one group of workers
would want more than the others, depending on
their age, domestic status, professsion and the like.
It is just a matter of nding a balance and oering
enough to each side to please everyone.
A common ground is that increasingly, all
employees are looking to balance their work and
personal lives. If you nd a way to enhance the
frequently side-lined personal benet, you will be
in good books with sta and job seekers.
Work-life balance is important for everyone.
The world has placed an increasing demand
on individuals time, with both work and home
requiring signicant attention. It is important for
organisations to adapt to that fact.
This does not necessarily mean that employees
value their free time more than their time at work.
They just want to feel like they are getting enough
time for their personal development. If you give
them some exibility with their schedule, they
will feel a lot better (and more energetic) about
coming into work.
It is the reason emerging start-ups are attractive
to Millennials. They tend to provide a more exible
work atmosphere. Not only does this provide an
environment of growth and ownership of work, it

what they are worth.
To ensure you are fully aware of your employees
accomplishments, set strictly dened times and
avenues for people to report them. Ask for a quick
monthly email, for example. This might go against
the grain of managers with open door policies,
but, paradoxically, more structure can prove
liberating for many employees who do great work
but arent comfortable drawing attention.
Most importantly, think about making the work
more intrinsically rewarding. Invisibles care most
about developing their craft, working in conditions
that allow them to focus on what they do well and
seeing that the work itself matters.
They are glad to be well paid. But as numerous
studies in business psychology have shown,
extrinsic rewards such as money are of limited
eectiveness. If you want to retain invisible stars
and to embolden others to emulate them, intrinsic
rewards are critical. Consider the 20 per cent time
popularised by Google, whereby employees are
encouraged to spend part of their working hours
on projects of their own devising.
Having met with so many of these professionals
and immersed myself in the relevant literature of
psychology, sociology and business, among other
specialties, Im convinced that invisibles are on to
something very big. There are strong correlations
between their distinctive traits and exceptional
levels of achievement and life satisfaction.

The concern over performance
management, particularly in the
public service, is not new. It is
a sensitive concern, given that
the performance levels in this
sector have direct impact on the
workings of the private sector,
thus reverberating throughout the
economy.
African countries that have
embarked on transformative
journeys, such as Kenya, Ghana,
Mali, Madagascar, among several
others, must be aware of the
importance of a performing public
sector in such mission. Most of
them have instituted performance
contracting as the way to uplift
productivity in public service.
However, according to Peter
Kahihu in his book, Transforming
the Public Sector in Africa through
the Balance Scorecard Strategic
Performance Management System,
the governments in these countries
and others still struggle to achieve
high performing public service.
Mr Kahihu is a corporate trainer
and strategic planning and balanced
scorecard expert. In his 80-page
paper-back published last month
by the Strategic Leadership Centre
International, he tries to make a case
for the integration of the balanced
scorecard performance management
technique in the public sector. His
focus is on Africa.
The balanced scorecard is a holistic
performance management tool
designed to analyse organisational
performance from both tangible
angles such as the nancials and
intangible considerations like
employees skills.
It was created by Dr Robert
Kaplan of the Harvard Business
School and Dr David Norton, a
American consultant on strategic
performance management. Kahihu
is trained by them, and he is their
partner in Kenya.
In the book, he argues that while
many public sector organisations
have performance measurement
initiatives underway, poor
management of the overall process
hampers their eorts.
He writes that merely having a
set of performance objectives and
measures in place, which is what
performance contracting is about,
does not necessarily lead to better
performance. In fact, he argues, such
designs can lead to dysfunctional
behaviour, such as target xation
and cooking of achievements.
The book suggests that it is high
time the public service in Africa
instituted more eective ways to
manage performance as part of the
much talked about transformation
in the continent.
Kahihu makes a case for the
application of the balanced
scorecard performance management
tool, which he reminds readers, has
been used by some of the worlds
highest performing companies, such
as the Forbes 1000. According to
Mr Kahihu, about 75 per cent of
these companies use the balanced
scorecard in managing their
performance.
This is just a part of the set of
evidence that he uses to recommend
the concept for organisations in
Africa, more so public service
institutions. These, argues, are in
dire need of a tool to spark o high
level corporate-like performance to
satisfy the better informed modern-
day client of public service. Crucial
to his propositions is a focus on
developing a high performing
public service, rather than simply
measuring under-performance.
A balanced scorecard,
Kahihu writes, is a performance
management tool that provides
a periodic assessment of how an
organisation is progressing toward
achieving its strategic goals. It oers
a traceable and quantiable means
of translating an organisations
vision into individual actionable
targets.
The design of the balanced
scorecard is all about recognising
a targeted number of financial
and non-financial measures and
attaching very specic objectives
to them, so that when they are
reviewed, it is possible to determine
whether current performance meets
expectations, the book states.
The balanced scorecard
periodically reminds managers
about the critical strategic
issues, and gives the necessary
feedback on the progress toward
achieving them. By so doing,
it alerts managers about areas
where performance deviates from
expectations, thereby enabling them
to refocus attention on these areas.
This triggers improved performance
within the part of the organisation
that is facing issues.
Originally applied only in private
sector, the balanced scorecard,
writes Kahihu, is increasingly being
adopted by non-prot organisations
and public sector institutions in
some countries. Singapore is an
example, according to a recent
interview with Dr Kaplan, published
in this newspaper.
Kahihus book proposes that the
introduction the balanced scorecard
in public service be done gradually
through pilot ministries, with the
coordination of the head of public
service.
The book, a mix of text and
illustratve charts, is yet to reach
the bookshops, but can in the
meantime be obtained from the
Balanced Scorecard Institute of
Africa, whose contact details can
be obtained from (www.balanceds
corecardinstitute.org).

verywhere you look,
you will see innovative
partnerships at work. Be
it the Hewlett Packard laptop with
an Intel processor, audio speakers
that run on Microsoft windows
or a Boeing 747 powered by a
Rolls Royce Engine, innovative
partnerships run the world.
Phones have cameras,
voice recorders and different
applications produced by dierent
people. The ability to blend all
these masterpieces of creativity
in one platform is what makes
the item stand out.
It is important that we
constantly ask ourselves who we
can partner with to increase the
scope of what we can do.
Who can we partner with to
multiply our income? Who can
we partner with to increase our
quality? Who can we partner with
to expand our reach?
Whether as an individual or as a
company, innovative partnerships
are key to growth.
Networks should improve net
worth. They are not just for the
sake of having contacts. They are
to help you.
There is no point in knowing
people if you cannot make a
demand on the network when
you need to. Human network
failure is when we do not build
our relationships to the point
where we can make a demand
on them when need be.
What is the delivering power
of the networks in your life?
This is the fundamental question
that will show the measure of a
relationship.
To build great partnerships
or networks, we must offer
abundant value. Seeking value
without oering one in exchange
is parasitic.
We need to innovatively build
the partnerships that can help us
to deliver the innovation that will
take us to the next level.
Even at individual level, we
must not be ignorant about the
purpose of networks. We must
invest in the relationship before
there is need for a demand.
We must build value and
then innovatively identify the
partnerships that will help us to
multiply the eect and eciency
of the value that we have built.
Many people and organisations
have subjected themselves
to environments that dilute
innovation. The more the people
to deliberate over an issue before
it can be passed, the more likely
it will be diluted.
It is important to pair first
class minds with other first
class minds. The result will be
rst class products and ideas.
When first class minds are
paired with third class minds,
ideas get diluted.
For this reason it is important
that meetings where decisions are
going to be made on innovation
should only be attended by the
essential minds necessary, and
not a mass of minds.
When there are too many people
in a meeting where important
decisions are to be made and
where innovative thinking will
be required, there will be a
temptation to be open to all views.
This will kill innovation.
The blunt truth is that
innovation rarely occurs within
the context of democracy.
Not every brilliant person is
brilliant in everything. Everyone
has their zone.
Meetings should be made up
of relevant people who will nd
their zone in the discussion and
not just a gathering of people
for the sake of participating or
being politically correct. Small
teams with a concentration of
superior rst class mind power
will do exponentially more than
large teams with a dilution of
mind power.
Great empires were built by
strong leaders who were able to
inspire others with their ideas and
not by panels.
Similarly, great companies are
built by strong visionaries and not
committees.

also allows for certain parts of employee
personal lives to blend into their work
life.
Taking a few hints from the benets
that start-ups oer their employees is
something large organisations might
want to consider when upgrading their
benets package.
Flexi-time is a good option for all
employees. It has been discussed many
times, but established organisations have
for a while been slow to adopt it.
However, the benet is starting to
show up in workplaces as a popular
perk. In fact, employees rank it as an
important factor in deciding whether
or not to stay at an organisation. Thats
how much it matters.
Flexible schedules
Flexi-time can be dened as anything
from oering a four-day work week, to
telecommuting, exible schedules (7 am
to 3 pm instead of 8 am to 5 pm) or even
working from home.
You could also choose to oer exi-
days to employees who have hit a certain
target, or provide it seasonally, for
example, during low work seasons.
The greater work-life balance that
exi-time provides, studies have shown,
ultimately results in higher productivity
among sta.
Flexi-time is an easy way to reward
employees without breaking the bank.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
The more time you spend thinking about
changes to your lifestyle or personal
ambitions, the less likely you will be able
to do anything about them. Now the stars
are giving you the chance to act as well
as dream.

PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
The stars today suggest both golden
opportunities and the chance to revive
buried projects, but they cant improve the
way other people believe.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
You need to keep your wits about you as
the planets in their courses could have
you running around in circles leaving you
feeling irritable and disoriented. This is the
last thing you need right now,
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
You are certainly going to be kept on
your toes on the work front, even though
you might wonder exactly what your role
is supposed to be. Pass the gossip and
conde in a workmate for reassurance.Your
nances seem to need care,
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
From time to time there is a day which
allows you to let go of old ideas and old
habits and open the doors to interesting
connections that will prove to be far more
rewarding.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
Each day is likely to add yet more
fascinating elements to the life changing
developments taking place in your life, so
dont try to force things yet.Take your time
and try to see all decisions.

LEO| JULY 23 - AUG 22
If an ideal opportunity sounds good today
then its likely to become even better in the
near future. So however keen you are to
see proposals turned into action, it would
be wise to resist the temptation to hurry
matters instead,
VIRGO| AUG 23 - SEP 23
Storms are brewing on the business front
and the more informed you are the better
prepared you will be. You may be unable
to stop them,.You will feel able to deal with
developments as they arise.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
The next few days could be of far reaching
signicance in your life, although just how
is unlikely to be clear. Keep your options
open and see how things develop before
committing yourself to anything.
SCORPIO| OCT 24 - NOV 22
Although this is a day when certain people
may not measure up to your high ideals or
share your sense of right and wrong, but if
you ignore their opinions completely then
this will go from bad to worse.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Your talent for putting your point of view
across to those who have similar ambitions
is very important now, which means you
are about to learn that the only hurdles to
your progress are those you have created
yourself.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
An unexpected moment of excitement
has let you see that changes are not only
possible, but positively desirable at work,
or in your local community .Dont dig your
feels in and refuse to budge.

It was now dark, and
Grandfather was .tired. He leaned
back in his chair and smiled as he
thought about his granddaughter
reading his letter and sharing it
with her brother and her friends.
Ah, but there was so much more
to tell!
21st November 2001
Dear Martha,
I sometimes feel that this
letter will take forever; but I cant
write such a story in one day. At
times I feel that I should send you
instalments as I write them but your
Grandmother insists that it would
be better to wait until the story is
complete. I think, on the whole, she
is right.
I should tell you that my eyes
have been troubling me. I cannot
look at a page for very long
before they start aching. Your
Grandmother was worried and
went to the headmaster of our
local primary school to ask him to
call your mother. The headmaster,
being a kind-hearted man, jumped
onto his bicycle and headed
towards the market where the
closest telephone booth is.
Poor chap! You remember the
sharp corner near our home where
a woman was selling those sweet
ripe bananas when you last visited
us? Well, the poor headmaster
went -zooming round that corner
just as a lorry was coming from the
opposite direction not only at
high speed but also on the wrong
side of the road.
The headmaster tried to swerve
out of the way but his bicycle was
going so fast that he lost control
and shot into the bushes screaming
at the top of his voice!
We were later told that the lorry
driver had lost control of his vehicle
but some people blamed the
headmaster for not slowing down
when going round the corner.
The headmaster did not suer
major injuries, only scratches
from the bushes. However, the
bicycle quickly came to rest on
on anthill! The poor man was lying
unconscious on top of the anthill
with the bicycle on top of him! But
just at that time, a brand new red
Nissan stopped by the roadside
and, guess who came out? Radul,
the eldest son of Mzee Kwach.
Radul has a kind heart like
his mother. He jumped out of his
car and ran to the scene of the
accident.
Japuonj, ango motimore?
Radul called out, asking the teacher
what had happened. But-all the
headmaster said was, Call Opiyo.
Mzee Towo is sick!
Radul tied the bicycle on the
roof of his car, and sped o with the
headmaster towards the hospital in
Bondo. It was not until rst aid
had been administered and the
headmaster was recovering from
the shock that Radul was able to
ask him what the matter was with
me. Then Radul, bless him, took
a cell phone from his pocket and
called your Uncle Opiyo.

T
here are a few
things that
pose a greater
s e c u r i t y
threat than
Al-Shabaab,
and my comrades are
one of them. This is be-
cause campus students,
all jazzed up with alcohol
and flagrant disregard
for the law, have decided
that there is no other way
to resolve conicts apart
from disrupting peace and
destroying property. It is
deplorable and needs to
end. Now!
These days institutions
of higher learning have
become so unsafe that
you cannot tell when the
student population will
overdose on marijuana
and decide to unleash the
extra energy on opening
the skulls of innocent pas-
sers-by.
Of course, theyll defend
themselves with claims
that theyre fighting for
justice. Call me a damned
dinosaur, but Im still old-
fashioned enough to up-
hold that two wrongs never
make a right. What justice
is there in plundering the
nearby market and looting
kiosks?
A dissident student
leader was shown on tel-
evision saying that theyre
advancing democracy.
Democrazy maybe, but
that certainly has nothing
to do with democracy. In
fact, demoghasia is the
right word to describe
such barbarity. Somebody
hand me the latest edition
of the Oxford Dictionary;
maybe the denitions of
justice and democracy
just changed.
Misuse of stones
In my days, stones
were strictly reserved for
hunting wild doves and
scrubbing ourselves in the
shower. They were never
used to shatter the wind-
screens of innocent motor-
ists who had nothing to do
with our problems, recalls
my old man Grandpa Rich-
ard. And when we felt like
releasing excess energy
from our systems, we split
wood and danced to the
isukuti. Woe betide you if
you went on rampage.
During Grandpa Rich-
ards time, young people
saved their rage to ght
for freedom and protect
the country. Nowadays,
however, comrades must
unleash hell with the rage
of Solange attacking Jay-Z
every time grass sprouts on
their campuses.
With this kind of buf-
foonery, university stu-
dents still insist that they
should be involved in the
making of all important
national decisions. Their
dreams may be valid, but I
certainly think it would be
impossible for us to run the
country their way. Nobody
has ever cared about what
hooligans think and nows
not the time to start.
Grandpa Richard is no
prophet, but he has fore-
seen a Kenya whereby
the President will incite
his citizens to burn tyres
on the road, voting will
be conducted by a stone-
throwing mob, and people
will have to shatter window
panes to be heard. And
when that happens, paci-
sts like me will just pack
our bags and move to a
then more peaceful Soma-
lia. Then you will all say
to yourselves, Grandpa
Richard and Jowal were
right, damned right! We
should have heeded their
warning!

BE FAMOUS.

Last year, she surprised many pundits
when her song Kiboiboi Rani (We are happy
today) beat songs by veterans in the music
industry to clinch the much coveted Rift Val-
ley Song of the Year at the Groove Awards
Ceremony.
Faith Kosgei, now in her mid-thirties, looks up to South
African songbird Rebecca Malope and hopes to follow in
her footsteps to gain international fame and acclaim on
the gospel music stage.
Briey describe yourself...
I am a happily and have a ve-year-old daughter. I
work in the judiciary. I am a gospel artiste with a long
attachment to music, although I started recording only
in 2012.
When did you rst get involved in music?
My love for music dates back to my days in Sunday
school at Tugumoi African Inland Church (AIC) in Bar-
ingo County. However, my talent became evident when I
was at Kapropita Girls Secondary School, where I was a
choir leader until I left in 1999.
When did you begin your career proper?
That would be when three colleagues of mine and I
came formed the Harmony Band at Kenyatta University
in 2002, when I was a third year student.
What happened after you graduated?
I got a job at the university and stayed there until
2007. I got so engrossed in my job and nearly forgot
about music, only working with choirs until recently,
when I my fans pushed me into doing music.
Tell us about your second album which you
launched recently?
It is called Kongoi (Thank you) and has eight tracks.
It has been better received my fans than I had even
anticipated, just like the rst one, which earned me an
award in 2013. Other songs in the album are Kibendi Taa
(marching on) and Kimi Taingun.
How do you plan to remain relevant
in the competitive gospel indus-
try?
The only way to beat
competition is to remain
original. There can only
be one Faith Kosgei and
I do not want to become
a copycat.
Tell us one thing fans do
not know about you...
I play the bass guitar
(laughs). I was moved by the
sound of the bass guitar and asked
a member of the sta band at
Kenyatta University to teach
me to play it. I also love the
environment. You might
catch me planting trees
somewhere in the
country when I
have time.

21QUESTIONS with Maureen Orwa
Zuqka: Tell us a little about your life
as a child.
My childhood was tough. I came
from a humble background. I was
born and raised in Kisii by my lov-
ing grandmother, Martha Nyachoti.
I went to live with my parents in
Nakuru when I was eight.
Whats the last thing that made you
laugh?
Ha-ha! That question has made
me laugh. I laugh all the time. I am
a comedian, so I crack quite a few
jokes about myself and everything;
life can be a joke, you know.
Do you consider yourself success-
ful?
Yes! I have been able to achieve
a lot without training. For exam-
ple, I have no formal education in
graphic design, but I can develop a
website and host it.
Whom did you rst tell that you
wanted to be a comedian?
My best friend in high school
Alex Onduso; he is also a come-
dian.
How did you land in radio?
Nowadays, comedy is a big
deal. Media houses are employing
comedians to attract listeners. I
loved comedy and I blended well
with people so much that a pre-
vious employer saw a gem in me.
The rest is history.
You say you are an activist, what
exactly do you stand for?
I am a social activist. I have been
involved in youth empowerment in
Nakuru, as well as in general social
issues. I used to run a community-
basedorganisation called Kaptem-
bwo Youth Group to educate the
youth on their rights as well as
empower them.
What dont you nd funny?
That is a tough question,
and I dont know how to
answer it. I think using
another persons joke
is pure nonsense; a
comedian should
be creative and
come up with
great jokes with-
out plagiarising
others.
As a comedian,
where do you per-
form?
I have taken a break for now,
but I am planning to re-launch my
weekly comedy shows in Nakuru. I
am looking for a suitable place to
entertain people.
How do you keep your station
visible and involved in the com-
munity?
Tuning to a radio station and
listening to it together with my
fans. I use social media platforms
to promote my show. I have a huge
following on my Facebook pages.
I have more than 10 Facebook
pages, which have a following of
more than half a million, and my
Twitteris getting better by the day.
What do you enjoy most about your
job?
Meeting new people and see-
ing them smile and laugh at my
jokes. You know what, I am a joke
myself.
Who would be a dream guest to
have on your show?
Marya the musician. I dont even
know why I love her, no, like her
doesnt matter. But she is charm-
ing, lovely, and sexy; I mean the
complete package.
As a kid, which was your favourite
radio station?
KBC during Lingala shows and
Zilizopendwa by Leonard Mambo
Mbotela.
What makes you want to continue
being a comedian to earn a living?
That part of satisfying the pub-
lic, be it with jokes, news or even
gossip. I feel great every time I
write some gossip or news or I am
in a show entertaining guys. Thats
my life. Without that, life would be
very boring. I cant even begin to
imagine...
What do you blog about?
I blog about what happens in
Nakuru, whether it is gossip, news
or sports.
How old are you?
I am in the age of the majority.
Are you in school? What are you
studying?
I am a part-time DJ instructor; I
am a teacher, shule achia watoto (
school is for kids)
If the world were to end today, what
would you not let go of?
Nothing! My life would go, there-
fore, so would everything else. I
live by the grace of God, not by
material things. I would give
away anything
for life.
From experience, is being a DJ a
worthwhile career?
Oh yes! People choose to be
pathologists, they operate dead
people, any career is worthwhile
career; thieving can also be a ca-
reer but not a worthy one.
What advice would you give to a
school leaver who wants to be a
DJ?
Go for it. If your heart is there,
that is all that matters.
How
do you
unwind?
M e e t -
ing friends for
some rounds of
our favourite tipple
and laughing while
dancing.
How is night life in Nakuru
compared to Nairobi?
I dont know about Nai-
robi, I am pure Nakuru
pedigree. Everything in
Nakuru is top notch,
no wonder party
hogs are streaming
to NaxVegas every
weekend. If Nairobi
was that good, they
would be partying
there.

GETTING BY ON A WING AND A PRAYER
I recently read a blog on The Guard-
ians website that made me smile.
The author, Oliver Burkeman, was
basically saying that we should not
be shocked and incredulous every
time a public gure does something
that reeks of incompetence, the rea-
son being that he or she probably has
no idea what they are doing and are
putting on a brave face, like the rest
of us and winging their way through
life. Heres a quote:
Institutions from national
newspapers to governments and
political parties invest an enor-
mous amount of money and eort
in denying this truth. The faades
they maintain are crucial to their
authority, and thus to their legiti-
macy and continued survival.
We need them to appear ultra-
competent, too, because we derive
much psychological security from
the belief that somewhere, in the
highest echelons of society, there
are some near-infallible adults in
charge. In fact, though, everyone is
totally just winging it.
How true. Theres always some
guy or girl with a big job and big
oce but nobody understands how
they got there. Have you ever felt
like that about your job? Wondered
when someone would nally call
you out? When they would nally
know that you have no idea what
youre doing?
We complain daily about our
politicians. But really, what can
they do? Can they really save us
from terrorists? Theyre no dier-
ent from you and me, so if you have
no idea, they dont either. I know
what youre thinking, that theyre
supposed to know. Why? Seriously,
why should they know? Do they
have a higher IQ than you? What is
the singular reason you have to im-
agine that they know what theyre
doing?
Once you understand this, that
few, if any of us, have a clue, then
its any wonder that we get by at
all. We should be grateful that sys-
tems work, and that the country
or company that we work for has
never grinded to a halt. Even in the
professional services lawyers,
doctors and accountants many
y below the radar. No one asks
about qualifications when faced
with a guy in a lab coat.
Everybody is clueless
Im a journalist. Do I know what
Im doing? Hell no! I get by. I try
and perhaps fail at being a good
role model. I let someone else carry
that mantra. Am I a good writer? If
someone says to me Good piece
I smile. Im in constant need of
validation. Was I a good radio pre-
senter? You doubt yourself every
time you put on the microphone.
Why do they care what I have to
say, I used to wonder. And now Im
getting ready to launch my own sta-
tion. Will I be a good MD?
Hang on. Self-deprecation is for
sissies. If you have been nodding
along to this article, stop. Go back
to work. You know what youre do-
ing. Walk into your big oce and
yell that you deserve to be there. If
no one knows what he or she is do-
ing including you yet you made
it there, that says something about
you. Perhaps you do have a clue.
That goes for everyone, including
the president. You have taken many
hits lately because of the state of
the union. Your decision to pay An-
glo-leasing debts was very coura-
geous. Thats the one adjective you
dont want to be used to describe
you when you are a leader.
But hey, perhaps youre there for
a reason. Perhaps we need someone
to make courageous decisions. So
do the most courageous act of all
and make arrests. Dont make pay-
ments when the culprits walk freely
among us. On that, you need to be
infallible From one winging it
person to the other!

FRANKFOOT By Frank Midega
If theres anything the UEFA Cham-
pions League nal last weekend taught
us, it is that there are no fairy tales in
football. This is no sport for romantic
endings, and yes, sometimes Goliath
does whoop David.
Atletico Madrid had ridden a huge
crest of goodwill from the neutrals, a
dour uncompromising team made in
the image of their equally Dont mess
with me slicked-back hair manager in
back who had just broken the strangle-
hold Real Madrid and Barcelona held
over La Liga the previous weekend.
Of course, nobody likes those pomp-
ous whites, especially given the fact
that you could buy Atleticos starting
XI twice over with what their latest
galactico, the Welsh wizard Gareth
Bale, cost. And then theres Cristiano
Ronaldo and his preening prima donna
antics, or Pepe and Sergio Ramos do-
ing their hatchet job in the name of
defending.
Expectations
The match certainly lived up to ex-
pectation for the rst 93 minutes, with
Atletico taking the lead through Godin,
but the goal was made even more
memorable by Iker Casillas. It was a
momentous blunder, and the moment
that launched a thousand memes,
including the now famous How you
react after sending a text to the wrong
number.
But true to form, this had been
scripted, with Sergio Ramos scoring
deep into injury time, just like another
famous nal 15 years ago in Barcelona.
Fergie time became Ancelotti time.
And Gareth Bale, the worlds most
expensive footballer, redeemed himself
with a header from close range, after
a blistering run by Angel di Maria, who
deserved to be man of the match.
That goal put an end to the knives be-
ing prepared alongside the infamous
What a waste of money? chants after
a hat-trick of misses. Marcelo put it
beyond doubt.
Penalties
Before Ronaldo decided to turn
it into all about himself, with an in-
consequential penalty in the 125th
minute that he celebrated as if hed
saved six penalties in the shootout
and came up with the winning goal in
the nal minute. But credit to him and
the global gel industry, 17 goals in a
single Champions League campaign
is phenomenal compared with the Ar-
gentines 14. And thats the unromantic
story of how La Decima was nally
achieved, 12 years and a billion euros
later.
Elsewhere, Belgium included a 19-
year-old in their World Cup squad. I
dont mean Adnan Januzaj, who was
eligible to play for over half the EU,
but chose the Red Devils instead. Im
talking about one Divock Origi of Lille
LOSC Metropole, whos just helped his
side to Champions League qualica-
tion. Hes also attracting the interest of
the big boys of the EPL: Arsenal and
Liverpool.
Divock is the latest scion from
Kenyas footballing royal family the
Origis. His father, Mike, was a fearsome
striker who plied his trade in Belgium
professionally. His uncle, Austin Oduor,
lifted the Mandela Cup with Gor Mahia
in 1987, still the only continental suc-
cess by a Kenyan club side. Arnold
Origi, the current Stars number 1, is
also somewhere there.

BE FAMOUS.
Have you ever met an old
love and though, What on
earth was I thinking? Were
my standards that low? Was
I that desperate I actually
settled for that? Well, here is
some comforting news (not);
that one of your ex loves looks
at you and thinks the same of
you brrr! What horror!
But lets look at the other
side of this scenario. So you
have been blissfully married
for two years, but as is pre-
dictable with humans, once in
a while you have your misgiv-
ings, even call it regret, that
you married that person. I
mean, there was that cuter
guy you dated when you were
21 years, could he not have
made a more attractive com-
panion during parties the
guy every woman in the party
drools over.
How about your boyfriend
when you were 26? He was
funny, that one, wasnt he?
I mean, he had a talent mak-
ing every present rib ache;
he also knew where all the
fun was and boy, did he know
how to have fun! Never a dull
moment with Mr Funny. You
surely could do with that kind
of humor once in a while.
Regrets galore
How about Mr Money?
Come on, you must miss
him once in a while when
you could do with a holiday
remember those days when
taking a ight to Lamu from
Nairobi was as easy as catch-
ing a bus to the city from the
estates?
Oh, and a couple of times
he took you shopping to Du-
bai how
cool was
that, walking
into all those
enormous malls
and picking stuff
and not having to worry
about the price tag, then have
someone drop the shopping at
your equally expensive hotel?
There was even the time he let
you go to South Africa, alone,
and picked up the tab.
Slap, slap! Come on, so you
are married to someone who
appears ordinary to other peo-
ple, but surely, you, with your
special self, would never have
settled for an ordinary person,
would you? He might not be
the life of the party indeed,
sometimes its easy to forget
he was around. Yeah, he is
that good at disappearing into
the background. When you are
sober minded, however, you
realise that that quiet pres-
ence, the calm strength, is way
more valuable than worrying
whom the attention seeker is
trying to charm next.
The show-o is just as bad
as the cute guy who makes
every seat look like a throne
just by the way he sits on it.
He sits there, like a Greek
god, waiting to be spoilt
by the throngs of beautiful
maids, and he makes you feel
like he is doing you a favour
just because he chose to be
with you.
Let it go
Away with the Greek god!
Be happy with the man who
does not compete with you on
who gets the salon appoint-
ment rst. Not that there is
anything wrong with that if
that is your thing but
Argh! As you sit there,
wondering where your chil-
drens school fees would be
coming from, you certainly let
your imagination run illegally
you imagine, had you mar-
ried Mr Money, your children
would probably be attending
some ridiculously expensive
international school and they
would be speaking about ve
foreign languages (and no lo-
cal one). Hm.
But when all is said and
done, there is a perfect reason
why you married the man you
are married to. If the other
options were so good, why
did you not take them when
you had the chance? Nobody
is perfect; always remember
to look at the strengths of
the one you chose, gently
suppress the weaknesses
and right there, you have the
recipe for happiness.

A
s a sound engineer
Kennedy Ken
Munene works quietly
behind the scenes to
ensure that the audi-
ence gets the opti-
mum sound quality. He has worked
on major TV productions like TPF,
The Presenter, and live shows like
Safaricom live and Groove Tour, not
to mention countless corporate and
high-end functions. Sound men are
like the CIA of entertainment; their
work often entails private victories
and public failures. You never really
notice a sound engineer until there is
a problem with the sound equipment.
As long as the music is owing and
the good times are rolling, sound en-
gineers remain a most unappreciated
lot. He says:
We cant all be in the limelight.
You need a lot of self-condence to
be comfortable behind the scenes.
After all the donkey work we put
in, its fullling to see people hav-
ing fun. I love excellent audio, and
thats why I avoid attending random
gigs because I cant stand bad sound
and I dont like stepping on peoples
toes.
Their work begins long before a
scheduled concert and continues
long after the music fades. They han-
dle equipment worth millions and
most people dont even know they
exist. But without them, you might
as well bury showbiz because bad
sound is an unwelcome but eective
show stopper. It takes meticulous
planning to put together a concert
stage.
I have ve main departments,
rigging, screen, lights, creative and
sound, Isaac Njoroge, a logistics
manager with Mo Sound, explains.
We have to map out our work
months in advance, especially when
we are doing a national tour. I work
with a very competent team. I know
each ones capabilities, so I hand out
assignments accordingly.
Work typically begins on a
Wednesday or Thursday for a Sun-
day afternoon Groove Tour concert.
The complexities of a set-up usually
dictate the work load and man hours
the team has to put in. A live band
set-up is a headache, because you
have to nish a day or two before the
event to allow for sound check.
People come to shows expect-
ing heaven on earth and anything
less than perfect is unacceptable,
Njoroge says. This job is stressful,
and working with demanding spon-
sors like Safaricom and NTV is a
challenge. Theres no margin for er-
ror. You have to get it right every sin-
gle time, but its a job we love thats
why we keep doing it.
The rigging teams are rst on site,
and their word is law in the sound
business. They scale the heights of
indoor arenas searching for secure
rafters from which tonnes of ex-
pensive machines will be hanged.
Concert stages can stand as high
as 20 metres and hold more than 30
tonnes of fancy gadgets. Rigging is
dangerous business, but the
relaxed concert atmosphere
often masks the dangers
that audiences are often
exposed to. In 2003, a
stage collapse led to
the cancellation of
a New York edi-
tion of the Justied
and Stripped tour
featuring Justin
Timberlake and
Christina Aguil-
era. The incident
injured three
sound men and
destroyed equip-
ment worth a
million dollars.
In 2009, a col-
lapsed stage killed
two people and seri-
ously injured eight in
France during a set up for Ma-
donnas Sticky and Sweet tour. The
roof caved in as it was being lifted by
four cranes, toppling one of them.
Safety is key, whether its an
open-air stage, or indoor arena raft-
ers. No one gets up there without
safety gear, Njoroge explains. We
even hang our sound system sepa-
rately to avoid overloading the stage,
just to be on the safe side.
Once the rigging is done, an army
of support staff,
swarm the arena
with a truckload of
ight boxes. Some
put up the sound
system, others the
light and screens.
When its all done,
the tedious work
of wiring begins;
endless metres of
cables are then laid
out to ensure the gear
showbiz
Theres no margin for error, you have to
get it right every single time, but its a job
we love, thats why we keep doing it
Rapper Wiz Khalifa was last weekend arrested for posse-
ssion of marijuana as he tried to board a plane in El Paso,
Texas. Texas police are now also investigating a breach in

works properly.
The set-up team then hands over
the arena to the concert crew. The
lighting crew is in charge of all the
dazzling displays that embellish a
stage performance. They often follow
a predetermined script programmed
into the lighting decks by the lighting
engineer.
The display screens are run by a
dedicated team of cameramen and a
live show director. During a perform-
ance, the cameramen prowl the stage
hunting for that perfect shot, as per
the dictates of the director. Back at
the control booth, the director si-
multaneously barks orders through
his intercom and switches from
one shot to a another. At the sound
booth, Ken and his team of sound
technicians keep the party going;
tweaking, tuning, listening out for
the slightest blemish.
Balancing frequencies
Sound engineering Is all about
balancing frequencies, Ken explains.
To the ordinary listener, a song is
just a song, most people listen to
the lyrics or melody. But my ear is
tuned to piecing together a montage
of frequencies by nding that perfect
balance. Most people dont appreci-
ate good sound, but when its bad
oh they notice!
The divorce rate among roadies/
concert sta is extremely high, espe-
cially in developed countries where
concert tours last up to two to three
months. It takes special grace to
maintain a form of normalcy when
your work necessitates constant
travel and engages you at odd hours.
The glamorous backstage isnt so
glamorous for the men and women
who toil to bring you the awless
show. It involves long hours of back-
breaking work to create those blissful
moments that wow crowds.
I have a very supportive wife,
Ken says. We met in church, where
we worked together in the technical
department so she understands the
stressful cycle of set-up and set-
down. If I didnt have the support
of a strong woman taking care of
my son, I wouldnt be able to do this.
Weve been married for four years,
and any free time I get, I spend with
my family.
The sound advice of an experi-
enced engineer is the mainstay of
the show business. If you are wise
enough to listen to the simple men
in the sound booth, youll go far in
this industry. And to all the masses
watching and listening, Ken says:
Understand your place, just play
your role and be happy with who
you are.

THE WORLD
CUP IS NIGH
AGAIN, YIPEE!
GET BACK UP Rapper TI recently posted an online video re-
sponse to boxer Floyd Mayweathers claims that he had received
two black eyes after a restaurant brawl. TI trashed the rumours that
arose after he confronted and punched the pugilist over an alleged
aair with his wife, Tiny Cottle.
T
he biggest specta-
cle in world sports,
the World Cup, is
nigh, and for the
more than three
billion ladies who
absolutely hate soccer, this will
be the longest four weeks of
your life.
Heres the shocking bit: The
timings are simply outrageous,
and some games will be kick-
ing off at 3am. That means
your football-crazed husband
or boyfriend will probably show
up at 6am just to shower and go
to work.
But it is not all gloom; there
are women who are happy that
the World Cup is back because
they know that means he will be
away for 28 straight days.
Yes, there are women who
cannot wait for you to get out of
the house, and this is probably
for those husbands who, when
they show up at home, the
kids, househelp and even rats
scamper to safety. Home-based
terrorists, I tell you.
But this is for those women
whose lives are about to be
turned upside down and inside
out by the World Cup. They
might not have to surrender
the remote, seeing as most men
will watch the games in a pub
with friends, but their lives will
be hell.
Imagine that husband who
will wake up at 2am on Mon-
day, hit the shower, dress and
leave before 3am so that he
can be at the club to watch the
Cote dIvoire Vs Japan game.
Then the same chap will show
up at home at 2am on Tues-
day because he was watching
Argentina face o Bosnia and
Herzegovia.
There are those whose part-
ners will be chronically broke
because of stupid bets, and they
will have to maintain them the
whole month. That, right there,
is the work of the devil.
So what to do if you all of a
sudden your partner is not at
home but in some pub chugging
beer and passionately hugging
his boys when his team loses or
wins the game?
Heres what not to do, do not
follow him to the club, you will
die of boredom, you will be ig-
nored for the 20 minutes before
the game, the full 90 and 30
minutes after the game.
You will be there tracing your
blood movement through your
left thumb. We do not mean to
ignore you, but men absolutely
hate it when their wives or
girlfriend follow them to the
club. You see them walk in with
their heads low and shoulders
slumped, they will aord a smile
just to avoid the whole, Whats
wrong? question session.
The look his boys give him
when he shows up with his rib
is enough to make you cry. It is
a look of betrayal, a big middle
nger to the plans they had set.
No, ladies, those plans have
nothing to do with them hug-
ging every female they come
across. No, they are plans that
involve a lot of trash talking,
staring, laughing and just plain
dumb conversation.
When you show up dear
ladies, you mess these grand
plans and what happens is that
we are now left to watch soccer
like we are in some concentra-
tion camp. Torture.
My friend told me of how he
showed up for some Arsenal
match last season and his team
won and went to the top of the
league and he was on such a
high until his girlfriend said; Si
game imeisha so we go ama?
He swears he saw his ancestors
weep.
Here he was, ready to trash
talk his friends who support
rival teams and just bask in the
win but babe wanted to go
home because she had wanted
to rush home and watch How
do I look? on the TLC.
We cannot blame him. First
he is an Arsenal fan so that is
sad enough but he probably had
told her they would leave right
after the game, which to him
meant an hour after, not 30 sec-
onds after the nal whistle.
So ladies who hate soccer,
this World Cup, connect with
your girlfriends more, watch all
your favourite TV shows, etc.
Dudes, lets go crazy!

THE WORLD
CUP IS NIGH
AGAIN, YIPEE!
GET BACK UP Rapper TI recently posted an online video re-
sponse to boxer Floyd Mayweathers claims that he had received
two black eyes after a restaurant brawl. TI trashed the rumours that
arose after he confronted and punched the pugilist over an alleged
aair with his wife, Tiny Cottle.
T
he biggest specta-
cle in world sports,
the World Cup, is
nigh, and for the
more than three
billion ladies who
absolutely hate soccer, this will
be the longest four weeks of
your life.
Heres the shocking bit: The
timings are simply outrageous,
and some games will be kick-
ing off at 3am. That means
your football-crazed husband
or boyfriend will probably show
up at 6am just to shower and go
to work.
But it is not all gloom; there
are women who are happy that
the World Cup is back because
they know that means he will be
away for 28 straight days.
Yes, there are women who
cannot wait for you to get out of
the house, and this is probably
for those husbands who, when
they show up at home, the
kids, househelp and even rats
scamper to safety. Home-based
terrorists, I tell you.
But this is for those women
whose lives are about to be
turned upside down and inside
out by the World Cup. They
might not have to surrender
the remote, seeing as most men
will watch the games in a pub
with friends, but their lives will
be hell.
Imagine that husband who
will wake up at 2am on Mon-
day, hit the shower, dress and
leave before 3am so that he
can be at the club to watch the
Cote dIvoire Vs Japan game.
Then the same chap will show
up at home at 2am on Tues-
day because he was watching
Argentina face o Bosnia and
Herzegovia.
There are those whose part-
ners will be chronically broke
because of stupid bets, and they
will have to maintain them the
whole month. That, right there,
is the work of the devil.
So what to do if you all of a
sudden your partner is not at
home but in some pub chugging
beer and passionately hugging
his boys when his team loses or
wins the game?
Heres what not to do, do not
follow him to the club, you will
die of boredom, you will be ig-
nored for the 20 minutes before
the game, the full 90 and 30
minutes after the game.
You will be there tracing your
blood movement through your
left thumb. We do not mean to
ignore you, but men absolutely
hate it when their wives or
girlfriend follow them to the
club. You see them walk in with
their heads low and shoulders
slumped, they will aord a smile
just to avoid the whole, Whats
wrong? question session.
The look his boys give him
when he shows up with his rib
is enough to make you cry. It is
a look of betrayal, a big middle
nger to the plans they had set.
No, ladies, those plans have
nothing to do with them hug-
ging every female they come
across. No, they are plans that
involve a lot of trash talking,
staring, laughing and just plain
dumb conversation.
When you show up dear
ladies, you mess these grand
plans and what happens is that
we are now left to watch soccer
like we are in some concentra-
tion camp. Torture.
My friend told me of how he
showed up for some Arsenal
match last season and his team
won and went to the top of the
league and he was on such a
high until his girlfriend said; Si
game imeisha so we go ama?
He swears he saw his ancestors
weep.
Here he was, ready to trash
talk his friends who support
rival teams and just bask in the
win but babe wanted to go
home because she had wanted
to rush home and watch How
do I look? on the TLC.
We cannot blame him. First
he is an Arsenal fan so that is
sad enough but he probably had
told her they would leave right
after the game, which to him
meant an hour after, not 30 sec-
onds after the nal whistle.
So ladies who hate soccer,
this World Cup, connect with
your girlfriends more, watch all
your favourite TV shows, etc.
Dudes, lets go crazy!

During the nineties, rock
music turned from a majestic
party anthem genre to a musi-
cal sect for sad and disillusioned
members of society. It was sort of
like a grand hangover from all the
wild choruses they sang along to
in the seventies and eighties. Dur-
ing that period, we had bands like
KISS, Twisted Sister and AC/DC,
which sang about rocking all night
and being back in black. Life was
a rollercoaster ride.
Then the nineties kicked in and
the party was over. Grunge be-
came the new thing and Nirvana
were the kings of rock and roll.
For some reason, the darker and
moodier your music was during
that period, the more respected
you became.
Maybe it had something to do
with the fact that fewer artistes
were getting fortunes from their
work and were instead paving
way for the sell-out artiste who
was willing to make uninspired
music for a quick buck. Whatever
the reason, the former cheer was
no longer there.
I began to realise that some-
thing was dying among rock stars
when a Lost Prophets frontman
was accused of various sex crimes
against children. During his trial,
he was charged with 13 oences,
which he callously admitted to.
Anthemic lyrics
One of them included an at-
tempt to rape a baby. This was the
same guy who told the world to
stand on the rooftops and scream
their lungs out for relief.
Thinking back about those
anthemic lyrics, I cant help but
shudder when I realise he could
have been the reason why many
kids out there have to scream
their lungs out. Maybe what he
needed after that song was coun-
selling and not YouTube likes.
As I lay Dying frontman Tim
Lambesis was a hero to many
metal heads during his 14-year
stint with the band. He probably
still is to some. The multi instru-
mentalist is widely considered the
main success factor behind the
band, having started it himself
and landing them a recording deal
when he had only a drummer in
the band.
Those who have changed their
perception of him perhaps cannot
get over the fact that he actu-
ally planned to murder his wife,
Meggan Murphy, after 10 years
together.
Personally, I found the news of
his arrest perturbing, since I knew
him to be a devout Christian. But
I suppose that was him 20 years
ago, when his classmates at Santa
Fe Christian school voted him
the class Most Like Jesus. A lot
can change in 20 years, and now
he has six more to reect about
behind bars.
The latest case of a falling rock-
star was the admission to hospital
of Derrick Whilbey of Sum 41. I
had never liked Sum 41, until I
played one of their songs live at
an event and after Mao (former
presenter at X FM) started calling
me Sam 41. Consequently, I tried
to nd out more about the group.
What I learnt was that Deryck
Whilbey was a singer and was
dating my biggest teenage crush,
Avril Lavigne (dont laugh, it was
serious aection back then). They
eventually got married.
I immediately began respect-
ing the guy, despite my seething
jealousy. But then he got divorced
later on and also got replaced by
one person who most would ar-
gue was the hottest dude in rock
music at the turn of the new mil-
lennium Thats right, Mr Chad
Kruger, Nickelbacks lead singer.
If you thought I was jealous,
Whilbey was neck deep in self
loathing. The self-loathing turned
into acute alcoholism. Last week,
his alcohol levels were so high
that he looked like an emaciated
heroin addict as he lay on a hos-
pital bed. On seeing him in this
state, a huge wave of sympathy
for the man swept over me. Life
can, indeed, be cruel.
The story of such stars often
ends in tragedy. It is a tragedy
that echoes through their music
at some point or other, but eve-
ryone is busy relating their lyrics
to their own lives and fails to hear
their subtle cry for help.
Sometimes, the world lifts
them out of thir misery with mu-
sic tours and random romances
along the way that might have
happy endings like Avrils.
Then its back to the happy mu-
sic: the Back in Blacks (though
in Avrils unfortunate case it was
Back in Pink, Eeek!) Even as
the world looks up at them with
admiration and reverence, at the
end of the day, rock stars are only
human normal human beings
seeking to be understood.

ASK CINDY
cindym254@gmail.com
Dear Cindy,
I am 20 years old, from a poor family but
I have been told I am very beautiful. I did
well in my KCSE but cannot join college
due to nancial constratints. There is a
married man who has been pursuing me
for a long time. He has promised to give
me education and a better life. I am so
tempted to take up his oer. What do you
think?
Stella
I think it is an extremely tempting oer for
anyone in your position, but when the deal
looks too good to be true; it usually is. Do
not just look at it selshly, or in the short
term. You should think about the conse-
quences, like how would you feel if you
were responsible for breaking up a family,
if his wife found out? And how sure are you
he really is going to pay for your college
fees, that he is not luring you because he
knows your situation? If he really wants to
help you, he should pay your fees without
expecting anything in return, or give you a
job so you can earn a living. Alternatively,
look for a job without being too choosy
so that you can uplift yourself; there are
watchmen and househelps who have paid
their college fees with their salaries. Please
think about your dignity and how many
people would be aected by the decision
you make. All the best.
Dear Cindy,
I am 37 years old, and have no boyfriend
or child. I hear my biological clock ticking
louder every day, and really want to have
a baby because at this rate, a husband
does not seem possible. What would you
do?
Jessica
You are like millions of other women the
world over. Unfortunately, unlike men, we
cannot procreate in old age and even if we
do, it is draining. I think a baby is a lovely
idea, but wouldnt you want the baby to
know its father? You should think hard
how you would break the news to the
child when he grows up why he does not
have a father he can identify with. Also,
how do you planto do this? By talking to
a man who is already committed or arti-
cial insemination? If you choose either
you would not be the rst, but again, my
advice is that you must think hard how this
might aect your child. It is tempting to
make selsh decisions right now, but in the
future, they will surely catch up with you.
Whatever decision you make, all the best.

Theatre Personality of the Week Teresia Wahinya

Q. This was your rst theatre appearance at
Phoenix, how did you feel?
A. It was an interesting combination of nerves, ex-
citement and a sheer rush of adrenaline. I enjoyed
myself tremendously and the rest, the director,
the cast was very supportive. I hope I get to do
another show soon..... (hin, hint)
Q. Which TV programme(s) have you appeared
in?
A. On Mama Duka.I did not watch that episode,
though, because I tend to be my own worst critic.
Q. What inspired you to be an actress?
A. Most people in the world are stuck in a rat race,
working in soulless jobs that make them miser-
able, going through the motions.However, when I
act, I feel content, liberated, I feel like I have a say
in my destiny. I feel lucky to have found something
that I am passionate about and would gladly dedi-
cate my life to.
Q. Were you worried about forgetting your lines?
A. Not really. Getting ones lines is never a chal-
lenge; anyone can do that. Delivering them in a
convincing, believable way to the audience is.
Q. Who is your local role model?
A. I admire anyone who has had
the guts and will power to stick
to it, despite the uncertainty in
the industry. If you are looking
for safe, acting, it doesnt exist.
I especially admire my two
close friends, Veronica Waceke
and Marrianne Nungo, for
their passion, dedication
and integrity.

BE FAMOUS.
N
umber 17 on my
list of resolutions
for this year reads,
Try not to care too
much on my birth-
day when things do
not live up to my expectations.
It feels like for the past two
months, the word birthday has
been ringing in my head almost
non-stop. So many friends and
family have been celebrating
theirs. Thus in between keeping
my eye on my bank account bal-
ance while stressing over gifts
to buy, and dropping birthday
messages on peoples Facebook
walls, I have also been listening
to these same peeps recount
their feelings about their special
days. Birthdays, it would seem,
are more slippery than oiled up
frogs.
A close friend of mine whose
birthday was this past Tuesday
was telling me about a show
she watches, in which the main
character has a tradition of going
to the movies solo on her birth-
day. Since that sounded quite
depressing although hands
up if you hate it when people
chew their popcorn noisily in the
theatre because in this case, an
empty hall would be bliss I de-
cided to ask her what her plans
for her day would be. She replied,
I wish I could forget it was even
coming up.
Misery loves company
This immediately inspired a
unique sort of camaraderie be-
tween us. I used to think I was
alone in loving but also kind of
hating my birthdays, because
as much as I wanted them to be
amazing, they always ended up
being just okay, if not downright
bad.
So much so that instead of
looking forward to them, I ended
up dreading them. Turning cal-
endars around when the month
got nearer and hoping no one
would be kind enough to remind
me. But they did. All. The. Time.
To say that for me birthdays
usually turn into emotional
rollercoaster rides would be an
understatement. My feelings
y all over the place, bouncing
up and down and ricocheting
o the walls. I levitate between
hope and despair, excitement
and fear. In the morning I will
wake up thinking that someone
will whisk me o to Paris. In
the afternoon, when a private
jet has not appeared, I end up
feeling sorry for myself and in
the evening I go to bed thinking,
Well, who knows what next year
will bring? And as always, there
is an in-between moment when I
just sit on my own and do what-
ever I must to get all the angst
out of my system. Laugh. Cry.
Go through an old photo album.
Watch Youtube videos. Pet a dog.
The list is endless.
Needless to say, the idea of
forgetting your birthday or
sleeping through it sounds very
alluring to me and fellow ABBs
members.
Therefore, when my friend
made that confession, I was
shocked at first...and then I
sighed heavily with relief. It
turns out that I am not a per-
petually depressed weirdo. The
world is a disco full of people
continuously questioning their
existence. There is even a term
for birthday phobia: fragapane. I
cannot make this stu up.
It has got me thinking that,
perhaps we set ourselves up for
our downfall. Or maybe in ques-
tioning the impact we have made
on the world around us, we cheat
ourselves into seeing it for less
than it really is. But who knows?
What I do know is that for the
people around me who I do cel-
ebrate, I do it for one reason that
can be summed up in a few sim-
ple words: Thank you for exist-
ing. You mean the world to me.
If peoples birthday wishes on
your own special day do not reas-
sure you, then try number 18 on
my resolutions. Smile big and
wide until you feel your molars
peeking out of your mouth. As a
birthday gift to yourself.

TECHNO BYTE >> WITH KIUMBUKU MUCHUKU
Its funny how the smartphone war is not
in high-end devices, but rather in low-cost
ones. Like the feature phone era, the low-
cost smartphone era is here.
Every so often, you can expect new of-
fers from phone device manufacturers like
HTC, Moto, Samsung and yet again, Nokia.
While they are too many to talk about,
some just catch your eye because they are
simply impressive. And because they are
numerous, prices are coming down, which
means razor-thin margins and eventually,
companies will burn if they dont sell mil-
lions of devices just to keep the business
going. Anyway, that said, its Nokias time
with the 630 and it is running a very up-
dated Windows 8.1, which could be the
freshest OS around right now.
Nokia has redened phone manufactur-
ing by being the worlds expert in making
plastic phones, making them look good,
and then, somehow, making money o
them, selling so many of them, that they
colonized ve continents single-handedly
for nearly a decade.
This very plastic phone, is really beauti-
ful, whichever way you look at it. There is
a 4.5 inch display that makes it look tiny,
but it is betrayed by its 9.2mm thickness,
which, like all other Nokia low-end phones,
means blocky. And though Nokia has tried
with subtle rounded curves and other
features, it still is blocky. One such feature,
the matte nish, does wonders for the
phone and makes it look less plastic.
Nokia kept the quad core Snapdragon
400 processor, which goes up to 1.2GHz
which is good, until the 512MB RAM glass
ceiling that is painfully evident as the
phones undoing.
However, the 8GB of storage and the
microSD expansion to 128GB should be
a comfort to some, but then again, that
Snapdragon will sap the 1830mAH bat-
tery dry, keeping it going for just one full
day, and no more. The camera is painfully
low-end. At 5-megapixels, it is really weak,
and the 4X digital zoom does not make
matters any better, nor does not the auto-
focus. Worse still, there is no front-facing
camera.
Picture perfect
On a bright, sunny day, the camera
takes social-media worthy pictures, but
at night, you really dont want to have it.
It does record at 720p and bears many
manual controls, but it is still a 5MP lens.
However, the phones miracle is in the
OS, making this one of the best OS-De-
vice combinations ever. Though a tacky
reminder of what Android and iOS and
every other phones OS, there is the crude
Action Centre, carrying notications and
general controls for connectivity, which
has been updated.
Though a welcome update, it still re-
mains bluntly crude. Another welcome
change is in the WiFi sense, which is best
described as the auto-history function
found on a browser. It signs your phone
onto any WiFi network it nds automagi-
cally and uses the credentials previously
provided. You will, however, have to wait
a bit for an update for Cortana, which is
not yet ready for a global appearance. But
it is coming.
Nokias blunder with this phone was
stung it with an overwhelming 41 apps,
and reducing the space taken by the OS,
leaving one feeling like it is a con.
The 512 MB of RAM makes this phone ri-
diculously sluggish with many apps open,
and Nokia should have pushed it to 1 GB
for sanitys sake, so dont expect this to be
the best multitasking phone in the world.
The camera is nothing to write home
about though it will serve the basic func-
tions of a camera phone with ease.
This is a foolishly fantastic low-end
phone. The phones aesthetics are quite
nice, Nokia has been known to make fool-
ish smartphones and this is no dierent.
Windows 8.1 is a far better touch than its
predecessor and works here.
Its taking on the Moto E and unless Mi-
crosoft nds a way to add value with the
apps, it could lose to the Moto E. Expect
to pay Sh15,000 or so for it, a notable re-
duction from the original Sh20,000 price
tag.

So, while you are busy updating your Facebook
status on your phone, Facebook will be listening
in on whatever you are listening to, from music to
television shows. While Facebook has been cautious
about explaining that it is not recording your back-
ground noise, the company will be able to identify
what you are listening to and give you the option to
share it with your friends. Your friends will also have
the option of playing a 30-second preview of the
track in their feed. The feature is purely optional and
allows Facebook to attach a new variable into its
data collation of its users, what you do for fun.
The feature is expected on iOS and Android soon.
TECH IN BRIEF
In Mumbai, Francescos Pizzeria delivered a pizza
via an unmanned drone to a customer. The com-
pany successfully sent a pizza 1.5km away using a
4-rotor drone. Mumbai, the nancial capital of India,
is known for horric trac jams and this successful
delivery heralds a new era in pizza delivery.
Although the drone faces signicant restrictions
such as altitude and range limitations, the suc-
cessful delivery means that a local pizzeria could,
ideally, serve customers within a specic range, car-
rying a specic load while overcoming trac and
delivery costs. The company expects that the serv-
ice will be in frequent use within ve years while in-
frastructure is built to improve charging, and drones
improve to give them more capabilities.
Even the best get hacked and eBay is the latest
victim. Between late February and early March, eBay
was hacked and lost hundreds of millions of custom-
ers credentials. The data stolen from eBay included
users real names, email addresses, phone numbers,
dates of birth and home addresses. Though eBay
says that no nancial data was stolen, and that there
hasnt been any unauthorided activity based on
the data stolen, it has stressed to its customers to
change their passwords. eBay is, however, being ac-
cused of withholding information to its users regard-
ing the hack and only releasing it after contacting
the press.
HP is currently in the middle of a meltdown, and
is quickly self-destructing as it lays o thousands of
sta in an attempt to recover from poor perform-
ance. HPs Tablet foray was historically disastrous,
and HP was yet to make anything notable in the
Tablet department, until the HP 7, an eye catcher,
solely impressing on price at a mere Sh8,000 For
that price, you get a 1GHz quad-core Cortex
A7 Allwinner Processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of stor-
age which can be expanded to 128GB via microSD,
802.11 b/g/n, a 1024x600 IPS and sadly, only An-
droid 4.2.2. This might be the device HP needs to try
turn around its fortunes.

By Phil Apage
A local columnist once wrote that he ad-
mired the way journalists liked comparing
events and using superlatives to describe
them. He called it rsting and lasting
events by using phrases such as, This is
the rst time such and such an event has
taken place in as many years or This is
the last event of this nature that is taking
place
Often, they add superlatives to give
viewers or readers a perspective into what
happened.
If you are keen, you will discover that
there is virtually no event that journalists
the world over fail to compare, and often,
they are right because they mention the
last time such an event occurred.
Besides, they always give the back-
ground of the previous event, state the
facts as they were then and as they are
now, which makes consumers well in-
formed.
Not all events must have a rst or
last tag, but since life is dynamic, change.
It is not wrong to make comparisons,
but it does not have to be done just for
the sake of it, since getting those facts and
gures requires a little research and having
a bit of institutional memory. But it seems
as if local television news reporters are ex-
empt from doing either or both.
It is becoming increasingly common to
hear local reporters rsting or lasting
events without referring to a previous one,
or even giving facts and gures.
In fact, to local news reporters, events
are always the rst one, not because they
are, but because that is the rst time they
are witnessing them.
The other week, a Kenyan journalist
tweeted that some long-serving journalists
told him that there were local reporters
who did not know that Mwai Kibaki was
once a vice president and a health minister.
Such levels of ignorance cannot be ex-
cused, but they are what lead to reporters
making false references because they can,
for instance, if the current deputy president
were to pay a visit to a national health
facility, declare that this is the rst time a
Kenyan holding such a position has made
such a visit
The use of rst, and to a lesser extent
last seems to have peaked during the
current regime, with reporters scraping the
bottom of the barrel to give their news and
edge over their competitors and also ap-
pear intelligent.
The levels of ignorance were highest dur-
ing the Westgate siege, with even those
reporting from there implying that they
have been in this business for long, their
gures were proving otherwise.
To be fair, this problem is also there in
the print media. The only dierence is that
writers have a little more time to conduct
research, something which the television
reporters are not banned from doing.
All newsrooms have libraries, but it
seems that local TV reporters do not know
that these libraries are there, for a reason,
or that they can use them.

SONG: HAIWI HAIWI
ARTISTS: WENDY KI-
MANI FT. BIENAIM
The beautiful Wendy
Kimani teams up with
Sauti Sols Bienaime
to deliver this brilliant
song about being curvy.
Haiwi Haiwi is literally
a halving of the adage
from the Swahili people,
Haiwi haiwi yawa
which means Patience
Pays. Only this time,
it was, Haiwi Haiwi,
Haitawahi Kuwa. which
simply put, mean It
ant gon happen. In
approach, Bien brings
a relaxed, calming bril-
liance to Wendys more
upbeat style and this
song sounds eargasmic.
The video quality
is fairly good. Picture
value is sublime. The
video does not provide
much in terms of colour
THE MUSIC: HAIWI HAIWI
Rating: 8/10
Category:
3D Animation Comedy
Release Date:
February 7, 2014
Length: 1 hour 40 minutes
Director: Chris Miller
Main Actors: Chris Pratt as Emmet Brick-
owski
Elizabeth Banks as
Wyldstyle/Lucy
Morgan Freeman as Vitruvius
Will Ferrell as President Business
Will Arnett as Batman
Who would have thought that those
small yellow pieces of plastic we used to
play with as kids had so much character
depth? The makers of The Lego movie did.
So they came up with something extraor-
dinary. The Lego Movie was crafted as a
superhero movie (since superhero movies
are the talk of town these days), with all
the characters pop culture as hailed over
the past three decades except Harry Potter
(they picked on Dumbledore instead).
Batman is portrayed as a husky-voiced
bu egomaniac while Superman is the cool
kid who tries to avoid hanging out with less
famous superheroes like Green Lantern.
However, the main hero in Lego is a dim-
witted construction worker named Emmet
who, through an ancient prophecy, is identi-
ed as the Special (something close to The
Matrixs the One). The Special is the only
person in the Lego realms that is destined
to save the universe from annihilation. But
of course, he has to discover what makes
him the Special rst to accomplish this.
The movies strongest point lies in its
references to modern lm culture. It starts
o with a scene that resembles the popular
video game, God of War, and carries on in
a setting similar to the one in Middle Zea-
land (a parody of Lord of the Rings Middle
Earth) and the Tower. The movie is lled
with punchy, intelligent humour from start
to nish and despite its relentlessly cubic
visuals, it keeps you laughing and engaged.

TELEVISION: TIME TO SCHOOL THE NEW BREED OF NEWS REPORTERS
but certain aspects
of it, such as Wendys
orange top and the
walls in the room oer
amazing contrast. Bien
plays the role of a chic,
able-bodied member
of Team Masi well.
Youd never think it from
his excellent choice of
garb and the expensive
drink in his hand; and
Wendys uptown girl
amateur dramatics were
pretty neat. They both
had some good role-
play. Not to mention the
bar tender snickering
when Wendy pushed
away Biens notes and
pulled out her Master-
Card class act.
Its a sensational
video well worth your
time.
