sought from Raila
on referendum
A damning report by the Auditor General on
the former Coalition Government says minis-
tries and independent commissions failed to
properly account for a massive Sh33.9 billion
that they spent in the last financial year.
Top on the list is the Independent Elector-
al and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), which
could not provide proper documentation to sup-
port expenditure of Sh5.9 billion.
Also high on the list of errant ministries is
the former Ministry of Internal Security and Pro-
vincial Administration with Sh3.1 billion not ac-
counted for in the 2012-2013 financial year. It is
now called the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordi-
nation of National Government.
The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social
Development is also in the top five and could
not account for Sh4.3 billion, while the Ministry
of Special Programmes could not provide docu-
ments for Sh2.5 billion. The report tabled in the
Raila Odingas Orange Democrat-
ic Movements Members of Parlia-
ment dissatisfied with the way their
Coalition for Reforms and Democra-
cy is executing its work as the main
Opposition, shared their frustration
at being sidelined in the build-up of
pressure for national referendum with
their leader.
Sources said majority of the 72
ODM MPs who attended a meeting
chaired by Raila at Orange House told
the party leader that the referendum
push would flop if the process was not
consultative and all-inclusive.

The Education and Health min-
istries are tussling for the control of
admissions to Kenya Medical Training
Colleges (KMTC).
Members of the parliamenta-
ry health committee yesterday said
all the students who applied for ad-
mission to KMTC are yet to be called
because of delay occasioned by the
Kenya Universities and Colleges
Placement Board (KUCCPS).
The MPs said KMTC is not a
semi-autonomous agency of the Ed-
ucation Ministry and asked the min-
istry officials to keep off. They said
the status quo must be maintained
to avert anxiety by students.
The issue emerged when Edu-
cation Principal Secretary Dr Bellio
Kipsang and the KUCCPS acting Chief
Executive Officer John Muraguri ap-
peared before the health committee.
KUCCPS, however, said the key
role of the agency is to co-ordinate
placement of Government-spon-
sored students. Our interpretation
is ensuring that the available spac-
es in all the universities and colleges
are awarded to deserving applicants,
said Muraguri.
Health committee chairperson Ra-
chael Nyamai said the situation at the
KMTC is a crisis that should be ad-
dressed urgently. We held a meeting
on July and discussed admission of di-
ploma students at KMTC. There is a
crisis as all the students who applied
have not received admission letters as
at today, she said.
She said KMTC is a parastatal un-
der the Health Ministry and noted
that KUCCPS should not interfere
with its admission.
Kipsang said the ministry would
respond to the questions raised by the
health committee next week.
Another committee mem-
ber, however, told The Stan-
dard KMTC is a den of corruption.
Students who get admissions there
pay heavily and someone must have
taken the money and is now finding
it difficult to allocate places, said the
MP who did not wish to be named
so as not to compromise the ongoing
discussions.

Sh33.9b cannot
be accounted for,
says Auditor
House yesterday indicates that out of
the total revenue recorded during pe-
riod in review of Sh813,222,666,210,
only Sh11,266,757,66 or 1.38 per cent
was fairly recorded while revenue
amounting to Sh801,955,908,550 or
98.62 per cent had no proper records
and could not therefore be confirmed
as accurately reported.
The report noted that State House
failed to avail documents in support
of various expenditures totalling over
Sh150 million.
The Auditor General cast doubt on
the spending and said that in the ab-
sence of supporting documents, his
office could not vouch for the proper
use of the funds.
Other ministries that could not
avail records to back huge expendi-
tures include Ministry of Education
with Sh6.7 billion and the Ministry
of Higher Education with Sh4 billion.
Commission on Administrative
Justice had the least amount of mon-
ey allegedly spent without documen-
tation, at only Sh3.1 million.
Other ministries that failed to pro-
vide documents for the money spent
include Foreign Affairs (Sh4,521,596)
and Defence (Sh350,00,000), The Au-
ditor General notes in the report that
the funds may not have been prop-
erly used.
In the absence of the records and
documentation, the propriety of the
expenditure of the funds could not be
ascertained and therefore these pub-
lic funds may not have been utilised
lawfully and in an effective manner,
the audit report reads.
The report also reveals that the
Government incurred excess expen-
diture amounting to Sh38,495,253
without parliamentary approval.
The money was incurred in four
votes, among them the Witness Pro-
tection agency, the Commission for
the Implementation of the constitu-
tion, the Judiciary and the Public Ser-
vice Commission.
The report says that a number of
ministries and departments did not
settle bills amounting to Sh43.6 bil-
lion. The amount comprised Sh12.19
billion and Sh31.43 billion in recur-
rent and development votes respec-
tively.
The Ministry of Defence did not
settle the highest recurrent amount
at Sh4.4 billion with the Provincial
Administration and Internal Secu-
rity failing to settle recurrent bills
amounting to Sh1.6 billion.
The Ministry of Roads did not set-
tle the highest amount of develop-
ment expenditure at Sh20.9 billion
followed by Public Works at Sh1.6 bil-
lion.
The report notes that had the bills
totalling Sh4.6 billion been settled
during the period and the expenditure
charged to the accounts for 2012/2013
year, 16 ministries and departments
would have recorded excess expendi-
ture against recurrent and/or devel-
opment votes.
The audit of temporary imprest re-
vealed balances which ought to have
been recovered or accounted for, on
or before 30 June 2013, but were still
outstanding as at the date amounting
to Sh633 million.
The Ministry of Youth Affairs and
Sports had the highest amount of
outstanding imprests occasioned by
un-reconcilling documents at Sh491
million.
Maintainance of cashbooks across
the ministries was noted to be weak.
Bank reconciliation statements for
recurrent, development, deposits and
fund continued to reflect material re-
ceipts and payments and cashbooks
not reflected in the bank statements
and also receipts and payments in the
bank statements not reflected in the
cashbooks.

Lamu Governor Issa Timamy told
a parliamentary committee that there
were no signs of ethnic or religious
tensions ahead of the spate of seri-
al killings recently witnessed in his
county.
Timamy, who is under probe over
the killings, told the joint team on Na-
tional Cohesion and Equal Opportu-
nities led by Nominated MP Johnson
Sakaja that the mass murders came as
a shocker to local leaders.
He said unlike the administration
and security agencies who had al-
legedly received intelligence reports
on impending attacks, his county gov-
ernment was unaware of any ethnic
or religious anxiety in either Mpeke-
toni, Witu and Hindi areas.
The attack came as a surprise.
There was no tension, ethnic or re-
ligious, to indicate there could have
been such a massacre. We only came
to later know intelligence could have
been given to security detail in the
area of an impending attack, but the
same was never shared with us, said
Timamy.
The governor said he was con-
vinced the killings had nothing to do
with the historical injustices over land
at the coast. He noted from the first
incident of killings on June 14, he was
treated with suspicion, especially by
security officers.
He said he had a poor working re-
lationship with the now transferred
County Commissioner Stephen Ikua,
who was serving in the area at the
time of the massacre. Timamy ac-
cused Ikua of complacency in coordi-
nating security response after the in-
cidents, saying he spent most of his
time out of the county. He claimed
on the night of the first attack, the
administrator was not in the county.
Things have been said. Specula-
tion and rumours have been propa-
gated and the onus is on the nation-
al Government to bring those behind
the killings to book, he said, saying
he was a victim of political machina-
tion.

Female warders at the Wundanyi
GK Prison in Taita-Taveta County
have accused a senior officer of de-
manding sexual favours from them.
The warders, some of who are
married, claimed those who turned
downed the officers sexual advanc-
es are intimidated with sacking and
transfers.
However, prison authorities say no
formal complaint had been made
against the officer and cannot launch
investigations based on rumours.
Narrating their ordeal to The Stan-
dard in Wundanyi town yesterday,
the complainants said those who ac-
cepted his sexual demands were giv-
en preferential treatment.
Those who sleep with the amo-
rous officer are given light duties and
lucrative assignments to reciprocate
sexual favours, said a female warder.
The complainants claimed the of-
ficer had been alienated by his senior
colleagues who are not happy with the
behaviour.
MAKE ADVANCES
Some cases have been quite em-
barrassing as the officer attempts to
make advances even while we are on
duty with prisoners, alleged another
female warder.
I told the officer that I am mar-
ried yet he continued disturbing me.
I even informed my husband of the
incident, but he is unable to confront
him for fear I will be victimised, com-
plained another female officer.
Two male warders have also com-
plained that their wives were being
harassed by the officer.
We cannot work in such an en-
vironment where some of our col-
leagues and wives are subjected to
such treatment. We want the Govern-
ment to take action against the offi-
cer, said the officers.
The Officer in-charge of the facil-
ity Senior Superintendent of Prisons
Khamis Bakari confirmed that he had
heard the rumours about the issue
but declined to give further details.
He said the matter will be inves-
tigated once official complaints are
made.

MPs want equal
posting of 5,000
new teachers
Parliament wants 4,350 teachers
shared out equally with 15 tutors for
each of Kenyas 290 constituencies to
ensure balance.
Members of the National Assem-
Data given to the
Committee on
Education revealed
a national teachers
shortage of 90,230
bly Committee on Education said yes-
terday the current system used by the
Teachers Service Commission (TSC)
leads to skewed appointments with
some regions benefiting more than
others.
The balance should then be left
for the TSC to hire, based on other cri-
teria such as affirmative action and
based on the most understaffed re-
gions, said committee member and
Mogotio MP, Hellen Sambili.
The Government allocated some
Sh2.25 billion towards recruitment of
5,000 teachers in this financial year.
But the teachers employer said
some constituencies are already over
staffed and so it prefers to stick to the
current formula of appointing teach-
ers. TSCs director in charge of teacher
management, Nancy Macharia, said
some 2,479 teachers will be recruited
for primary schools and another 2,521
for secondary schools.
We have already received da-
ta from our county directors and it
is currently being cleaned. Once we
complete this, we shall tell which
schools will get how many slots on a
pro-rata basis, said Macharia.
She represented commission sec-
retary Gabriel Lengoiboni, who is out
of the country, during a meeting with
the House committee in Parliament.
She said the overall goal of TSC is to
establish and maintain a sufficient
professional teaching service for pub-
lic education institutions in the coun-
try, except universities.
She said the ideal staffing norms
that should have been used for re-
cruitment are not ready.
We already did a Cabinet memo
to the ministry and that is where we
are as at now, she said.
Education Principal Secretary Bel-
lio Kipsang said the ministry received
the memo but wanted some sections
amended. The staffing system are ex-
pected to ensure equitable distribu-
tion of new teachers.

A hospital in Nairobi has been or-
dered to compensate a top official
of the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission for the death
of his wife.
The Medical Practitioners and
Dentists Board ordered Family Care
Medical Centre and Maternity Home
in Nairobi West to initiate mediation
with the family of Esther Kagwiria Le-
tangule who died last year, with a view
of compensation and report the prog-
ress to the board within 90 days.
Thomas Letangule, a commission-
er with the IEBC, had filed the com-
plaint with the board, accusing the
hospital and its staff of professional
negligence.
The committee found the hospi-
tal guilty of not managing Letangules
wife when she checked into the hospi-
tal in March last year, despite having
clear signs of a dangerous pregnancy
due to high blood pressure.
The Boards Professional Con-
duct Committee chaired by Dr Tim-
othy Kingondu established that the
person who checked her blood pres-
sure did not even have qualifications
for that job.
The hospital was also found guilty
of not keeping accurate records de-
spite Letangules wife visiting the hos-
pital several times.
FOUND GUILTY
The hospital was also ordered to
pay Sh350,000 to the board as part
costs for the committees meeting.
Dr Erick Sagwa, who was the med-
ical officer in charge of the hospital
and the first one on call at the time,
was found guilty of failing to review
the patients condition or acting in a
timely manner.
The committee ordered that Sag-
wa be admonished by the Chairman
of the Medical Practitioners and Den-
tists Board. He was also required to
be placed on full-time attachment at
Mbagathi District Hospital in Nairobi
for three months.
Dr Sagwa was ordered to pay the
Medical board a fine of Sh100,000.

Raila moves to mend cracks in
ODM as he pushes for referendum
Sources said Raila was hard-
pressed to convince ODM MPs to
support his push for a national refer-
endum, an agenda that has caused a
split in the opposition. Raila moved to
seal cracks that have emerged within
his own party amid dissenting views
emanating from his spirited push for
a referendum, which he argues will
enable Kenyans take a vote on key is-
sues affecting the country.
A section of opposition MPs and
Governors including those allied to
the Orange party have differed with
referendum calls, with some arguing
that the agenda would not solve the
many challenges facing the country.
Interestingly, Nairobi Governor Dr Ev-
ans Kidero who is among CORD Gov-
ernors who have opposed the referen-
dum push yesterday made a technical
appearance at Orange House and
left before the meeting ended.
Kidero last week dismissed the
push for a referendum, saying
the opposition would better ad-
at Orange House told the party leader
that the referendum push would flop
if the process was not consultative
and all-inclusive.
One MP who attended the meet-
ing described it as stormy and Railas
attempt to try calm dissent was dis-
cernible from reports that the ODM
party leader took almost 45 minutes
to state CORDs case for the push for
a referendum which was announced
during the Saba Saba rally in Nairo-
bi on July 7.
As Raila met his team, for-
mer Vice President Kalonzo Musy-
oka and Bungoma Senator Moses
Wetangula were also leading sep-
arate Parliamentary Group meet-
ings for their respective Wiper and
Ford Kenya parties at Maanzoni and
Elementaita lodges respectively.
The three parties are set to hold a joint
PG on Tuesday next week to agree on
the structures in the proposed nation-
al referendum team.
The meetings between the three
CORD co-principals and their party
MPs apparently were held to try to de-
fuse simmering discontent within the
opposition rank and file who felt the
leaders were making rushed and uni-
lateral decisions. You cannot go to
war as a commander without giving
your troops clear instructions; there
must also be a briefing and debrief-
ing sessions and that is what we told
Jakom, (Raila) an MP who attended
the ODMs PG revealed.
The MPs, sources said, told the
ex-PM that there has been disqui-
et among its ranks and file, with
most legislators feeling left out of
the opposition party plans, follow-
ing his return from the US on May 31.
The MPs, argued that Raila and his
co-principals were acting either
as lone rangers or had deliberate-
ly decided to isolate their troops.
One source revealed Raila took almost
45 minutes to explain himself and why
CORD cannot wait for the 2017 Gen-
eral Elections to change the state of
affairs. South Mugirango MP Manson
Nyamweya who attended yesterdays
briefing told The Standard the meet-
ing was stormy but the party leader
was given ample time to explain him-
self and other CORD co-principals.
We have had issues in past but
after todays meeting, I think all the
members who attended have seen in
it the sense to support the proposed
national referendum which will en-
able Kenyans to make a determina-
tion on issues like funding of Devolu-
tion, Nyamweya explained.
dress the national challenges like
insecurity and high cost of living
through parliamentary process .
Sources at the meeting said Kid-
ero argued it was important for
the opposition leaders to explain
to representatives at all levels, in-
cluding Members of the County As-
semblies, since all of them would be
at one point required to play a role.
A number of the partys MPS who have
opposed the referendum calls however
gave the meeting a wide berth, includ-
ing Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba
who was said to be out of the country.
Namwamba who is the ODM in-
terim joint secretary has skipped a
number of CORD rallies since the
Bonchari by-election, among them
those held in the build-up to the Sa-
ba Saba rally at Uhuru Park on July 7.
Others who snubbed the event were
Bomachoge Chache MP Simon Oga-
ri and Kitutu Chache South MP Rich-
ard Onyonka who last week host-
ed Namwamba in Nyamira where
they castigated the referendum calls.
A source said the MPs who support
the referendum calls were angered by
the fact that some of their colleagues
had defied the party position to go
ahead and publicly dismiss the calls
for a plebiscite in contravention to the
party constitution.
Mbita MP Millie Odhiambo is
said to have asked her colleagues
opposing the referendum to come
on board and present their ideas
on how best the Opposition can
proceed to liberate the country.
Those who raised objection to the ref-
erendum calls argue they were kept in
the dark and point out the confusion
in the run up to the Saba Saba rallies
and subsequent unexpected atten-
dance. The poor show they said was
a warning to CORD leaders on why
they should take along their troops,
especially in the planning stages.
Some Governors had also complained
over non-financing of the CORD ral-
lies by the secretariat, a hitch that had
seen them left to foot huge bills outside
their budgets. For instance Governors
had been left with the responsibility of
paying for the public address systems,
the venue, mobilisation of support-
ers and lunch for the CORD leaders.
CORDs attempt to amend the consti-
tution through a popular vote will re-
quire the support of at least 24 counties
But yesterday, Raila assured his troops
that the referendum way was the saf-
est route to take in involving all Ken-
yans to determine their destiny, argu-
ing parliament was itself rogue and
dominated by non-progressive ele-
ments opposed to reform.
Kisumu Senator Anyang Nyongo
said the meeting had been held to en-
dorse the Saba Saba resolutions, with
emphasis on push for a referendum.
Sources said majority of the
72 ODM MPs who attended a
meeting chaired by Raila at
Orange House told him the
referendum push would fop if

tive and all-inclusive

tors have been feeling left out

The Law Society of Kenya
(LSK) wants the Lands min-
istry to issue second genera-
tion title deeds that are tam-
per proof.
The lawyers said the second
generation titles should have
peculiar features that crimi-
nals and land fraudsters would
not be able to alter.
LSK Chairman Erick Mu-
tua demanded that the Lands
ministry conducts an audit of
all the issued title deeds since
Independence so as to distin-
guish between genuine and
fake ones. The Lands minis-
try must do an audit of the ti-
tles and find out who is hav-
ing genuine title and who has
a fake document, said Mutua.
Ngilu-NLC rivalry
Addressing the Press after
a luncheon graced by Lands
Principal Secretary Mariamu
el Maawy, Mutua said there
were many cases of land doc-
uments forgery perpetuated
by unscrupulous people both
from outside and within the
ministry.
LACK OF OFFICE
The lawyers wondered why
the timelines for getting neces-
sary documents at the ministry
were not being followed by the
employees and said the rival-
ry between the National Land
Commission and the Lands
Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngi-
lu was hurting service delivery.
They also lamented about
lack of a clear complaints body
within the ministry.
Lack of clear office to han-
dle complaints leads to time
wastage in finding the solu-
tion. Lawyers and the pub-
lic are being taken round and
round and this is a breeding
ground for corruption, said
Mutua.
SHORTER TIME
Besides complaints, the
lawyers accused the ministry
officials of taking long to sign
the title deeds since the issue
is controversial and is current-
ly a subject of review lodged at
the Supreme Court.
But Ms Maawy came to the
defence of the ministry saying
service delivery had improved
with registering properties
which used to take 73 days now
taking 16 days.
We realised access to files
and records was our biggest
impediment to realising de-
sired turn-around. We know
there are still challenges and
we are training our staff to
meet these laid down guide-
lines, said Maawy.
While responding to the
lawyers queries, Maawy said
the Government would pro-
duce second generation title
deeds within this financial year
though she did not specify the
time frame of the production.

BY RAWLINGS OTIENO
A judge has rejected an at-
tempt by the State to prolong
for two months the investiga-
tion of Lamu Governor Issa Ti-
mamy.
The judge proclaimed that
police will not be allowed to in-
vestigate this matter for long
and gave them a month to de-
cide if they have evidence to
charge Timamy (right) with
any crime linked to the killing
of 60 people in Mpeketoni last
month.
Since Timamys arrest late
last month, police have made
dramatic claims about his al-
leged connection with the vio-
lence and even suggested that
the governor was under probe
for international crimes but
failed to indict him at all. On
Wednesday, the police applied
for 60 more days to conclude
the investigation.
The case cannot hang on
him for too long, said Justice
Martin Muya yesterday when
he rejected the application by
the prosecution for more days
to conclude what has been
billed as a complex investi-
gation.
Justice Muya ordered police
to conclude the investigation
in 30 days from yesterday, say-
ing a month is adequate time
to conclude the probe because
detectives have investigated
the violence since mid June.
The respondent (Timamy)
has been on their radar for one
month. It would be prejudicial
for this matter to hang on him
for an inordinate duration,
said Muya who also rejected
defence claims that he might
be influenced by the politics
surrounding this case to arrive
at rulings and judgement.
As he walked out of the
Mombasa law courts, Tima-
my said he is innocent as his
lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi
proclaimed that after a proper
and thorough investigation, my
client will be set free because
there is no case against him.
The judge ordered the case to
be mentioned on August 18
when the State will bring a re-
port on whether they had com-
pleted investigations or not.
Justice Muya said it was factu-
al that there were some goons
in Lamu and Tana River coun-
ties murdering innocent citi-
zens. He therefore said it was
the courts duty to ensure that
justice was not only seen to
be done but it was done to all.
Assistant Deputy Director
of Prosecution Alex Mute-
ti had told the court that po-
lice wanted more time as they
were investigating Timamy for
international crimes, which
required extra time. The state
lawyer said police had not re-
corded statement from some
witnesses who had relocated to
other areas after the violence.

President Uhuru Kenyatta yester-
day told CORD leaders to respect the
decision of the electorate and work
with Jubilee Government.
The President criticised the lead-
ers accusing them of making too
much noise at the expense of serv-
ing Kenyans. We were given the full
mandate to run this country by Ken-
yans and the Opposition should ei-
ther join us or give us time to serve
Kenyans instead of distracting us all
the time, said the Head of State.
He added: The Opposition has
formed a habit of undermining all
the development projects being initi-
ated by the Jubilee government. The
Opposition should understand what
Kenyans want is development and not
endless empty rhetoric.
The President was speaking at
Soweni Primary school in Taveta town
after inspecting several projects in the
area, including the Taveta-Mwatate
road.
He was accompanied by sever-
al Jubilee leaders among them Dep-

A jealous Kenyan husband
who stabbed his 33-year-old
wife to death in a horrifying
and savage attack was jailed
for 22 years at Old Bailey, the
Central Criminal Court on
Monday.
Royal Mail postman Rich-
ard Nyawanda Otunga, 37, of
Taywood Road, Northolt, west
London, will spend 22 years
behind bars for the murder of
mother-of-one Shamim Ga-
briel.
He killed her on Decem-
ber 29, last year at their home,
accusing her of having affairs
with other men.
Otunga, who admitted
manslaughter, was convicted
of murder last Friday but or-
dered on Monday to serve a
minimum of 22 years.
Shamim Gabriel was
caught out by her husband
receiving text messages from
other men and after reading
them and confronting her flew
into a rage smashing his wifes
mobile phone into pieces. He
then turned on her with a carv-
ing knife and stabbed her more
than 30 times.
Police were called to the
Otungas residence at about
7am on Sunday in Decem-
ber following reports of an in-
jured woman. Ms Gabriel was
attended to by London Am-
bulance Service but she was
pronounced dead 25 minutes
later.
Otunga also calmly phoned
his father-in-law Gabby Gabri-
el saying he had had an argu-
ment with his wife and that she
had no serious injuries. Gabby
rushed over to Taywood Road
and Otunga showed off Sham-
im wearing only her panties ly-
ing in a pool of blood on the
kitchen floor.
She had been stabbed 32
times in front of the couples
eight-year-old daughter who
called police after witnessing
the killing.
Mr Gabriel asked Otun-
ga, Is this what you called me
forto show me the body of my
daughter?
The court heard that his
son-in-law simply replied that
he was very sorry.
I killed her. She was getting
messages from men at work.
We both work for Royal Mail.
Otunga claimed that he had
lost consciousness during
the December 29 incident.
Otunga, who had a histo-
ry of domestic violence and
threats to kill his wife, claimed
that Shamim tried to attack
him with a knife which he
snatched from her and in the
course of the struggle she was
stabbed more than 30 times,
Scotland Yard said.
Detective Chief Inspector
Chris Jones of the Homicide
and Major Crime Command
(HMCC) said: Richard Otun-
ga was a jealous controlling
man who could not accept his
wife having any contact with
other men.
Sentencing Otunga, Judge
Timothy Pontius said: This
case and the evidence upon
which the jury convicted you
of murder presents a truly trag-
ic picture of a marriage which
was for much of the time hap-
py and loving, but one which
was polluted by your posses-
sive and jealous behaviour to-
wards your wife.
Otunga starts his sentence
at one of Britains largest pris-
ons, HMP Oakwood in Wolver-
hampton, Staffordshire, which
has 2,500 inmates.
He will be 59 when he is re-
leased in July 2036.

The Supreme Court has
upheld the election of Migori
Governor Okoth Obado, end-
ing months of uncertainty and
saving his entire Cabinet.
Deputy Chief Justice Kalpa-
na Rawal, Judges Smokin Wan-
jala, Jacton Ojwang, Njoki
Ndungu and Philip Tunoi dis-
missed a Court of Appeal de-
cision that had shown Obado
the door.
The case originated from a
petition filed at the High Court
by poll loser Edward Oyugi
(ODM), who will now bear all
legal costs of the trial, appeal
and supreme courts.
The judges agreed with
the trial courts decision that
the irregularities envisaged in
the voting and tallying of the
Migori County election did
not affect the final outcome. A
three-judge Bench sitting in
Kisumus Court of Appeal had
found that tallying errors com-
promised the quality of the
election.
The Judgment of the Court
of Appeal sitting at Kisumu,
dated March 28, 2014 annul-
ling the election of Zackaria
Okoth Obado as Governor of
Migori County, is hereby set
aside, Justice Tunoi ruled.

THE PROCESS
The National Police Ser-
vice Commission will investi-
gate Mondays recruitment of
10,000 police officers, saying
it will nullify results of centres
found to have contravened the
law.
The police employer said it
had constituted an audit panel
to look into the entire exercise
in the next two months before
successful candidates report to
respective colleges.
In centres where it is as-
certained that the exercise was
not above board, the process
will be annulled and will lead
to a repeat of the recruitment
exercise, the commission said
yesterday.
Chairman Johnstone Ka-
vuludi said those with com-
plaints and evidence of mal-

practices have seven days to
present them to the panel for
review and action. The com-
plaints can be sent to info@
npsc.go.ke or be dropped at
their Sky Park Plaza offices in
Westlands.
Kavuludi called for calm
from the public and unsuc-
cessful candidates, saying no
official complaint had been
lodged so far. He said he had
witnessed protests and media
briefings over the exercise.
Given the number we were
targeting and the manner in
which we did it, I can say it was
fair and above board, unless I
see evidence to the contrary,
he noted.
He added there were sev-
eral observer groups monitor-
ing the exercise countrywide
expected to hand in their re-
ports next week.
Kavuludi yesterday said
6,000 constables will be for
regular police and 4,000 for Ad-
ministration Police. This will
increase police population to
almost 100,000.
The Interior ministry said
preliminary findings had
shown a 68-year-old parent
reported to have died out of
shock after his daughter failed
to be recruited into the ser-
vice in Nyamira had diabetes
and hypertension and passed
at 11.30am.
The deceaseds daughter
participated in the recruitment
exercise up to the last point but
was not taken due to the fact
that only one woman appli-
cant was being recruited per
administrative division, said
a report from Nyamira Coun-
ty Commissioner Josephine
Onunga.
There have been allega-
tions that last Mondays exer-
cise was fraught with irregu-
larities.

Varsities need to ofer
solutions, says Moi
He urges researchers
to shift their focus
from basic to applied
science that leads to
prosperity
Former President Moi has
challenged universities and schol-
ars in Africa to focus their research
on solving the problems afflicting
the continent.
Speaking at Kabarak Universi-
ty yesterday, Moi stressed on the
need for innovations to spur de-
velopment.
In a speech read on his behalf
by West Pokot Senator John Lon-
yangapuo during the opening of
the fourth Annual International
Research Conference, Moi called
on researchers to shift their focus
from basic to applied research in
order to transform peoples liveli-
hoods from poverty to prosperity.
Also the universitys chancel-
lor, Moi challenged institutions of
higher learning to be creative and
re-orient their programmes to re-
flect modern trends.
Moi said in the knowledge-driv-
en world, universities hold the key to
turning around national economies.
While emphasising on the need to
take a lead in applied research, Moi
called for public-private partnerships
among universities.
The former President urged the
youth to work hard to improve the
economy by venturing in farming to
feed the ever increasing population.
SHARING LACKING
Moi said information sharing
among African nations and national
agencies was still lacking and called
for immediate solutions.
The conference was attended by
scholars and researchers from Ken-
ya, South Africa, Japan, Uganda.
He advised local researchers to
take their work seriously as they were
pillars of Vision 2030, the countrys
economic blue-print.
The university Vice Chancellor,
Prof Jones Kaleli, called on under-
graduate students to embrace re-
search as a way of expanding knowl-
edge and challenged lecturers to
provide the much needed support.
Its only through research that
the current generation can positive-
ly make meaningful contribution to-
wards solving the problems facing the
society, he said.
Prof Lonyangabuo, who is the Uni-
versitys Governing Council Chair-
man, challenged young researchers
to take their work seriously, saying
Kabarak will continue to offers ade-
quate space for learning and research.
Machakos Governor Alfred Mu-
tua has told off the old crop of politi-
cians saying their time is up and they
should not expect to replace youthful
leadership now in power.
While addressing delegates at the
fourth Annual International Research
Conference at Kabarak University,
Mutua said the political baton was
handed over to the current leadership
by former President Mwai Kibaki and
could go back to the elderly.
The race is away from the elder-
ly politicians and it is with the youth-
ful generation. There is no reverse on
this. Those reasoning otherwise have
no option and they should accept and
move on, said the governor.
He asked the youth across the
country to unite and fight off negative
politics by jealously protecting unity
and utilising well the positions given
to them by Kenyans through elective
or even appointment.
Let nobody cheat you that he/she
has a solution, Kenyans themselves
understand well what affects them
and they have the solutions within,
he added.
The governor urged leaders and
Kenyans to learn to speak the truth
saying negative criticism and attacks
directed at his administration were
purely because he was transforming
his peoples lives.
Mutua hit out at critics accusing
them of spreading propaganda on the
33km road from Kithimani to Maku-
tano.
He challenged critics of his devel-
opment projects, especially the road
which was billed as the fastest built
road in Kenya and possibly Africa, to
instead show what they have done for
Kenyans.
The governor defended the quali-
ty of the road which has of late been
at the centre of debate over its qual-
ity with critics saying the facility was
hurriedly done as a public relations
gimmick than a service to Machakos
residents.
The road is perfect, has a strong
base and double seal chippings with
bitumen. Those criticising it are clear-
ly part of an orchestrated hate cam-
paign and do not understand road
construction, he said.
Mutua, who assured Kenyans that
his critics would not destruct his fo-
cus on development, urged youth to
support the Jubilee government say-
ing he had hope that it would lead the
country to the next level of develop-
ment.

Mutua to be investigated by EACC after parties in suit consent
Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua
will be grilled by the graft agency next
week on alleged procurement irregu-
larities, following an agreement filed
in court.
The governor had filed a petition
seeking to have the Ethics and An-
ti-Corruption Commission (EACC)
barred from probing him over alleged
graft in the procurement of county
motor vehicles including ambulanc-
es and County Executives vehicles,
among other undisclosed allegations.
HOLD DISCUSSIONS
By consent, the petitioner (Mutua)
shall be interviewed by EACC investi-
gators on July 23, read the consent
reached after High Court Judge Isaac
Lenaola asked both parties to hold
discussions on the suit.
The governor had moved to court
seeking to block the agency from
probing him and the Director of Pub-
lic Prosecutions (DPP) from prefer-
ring criminal charges against him in
relation to the alleged fraud. He want-
ed the court to restrain DPP and In-
spector General of Police from ap-
prehending or preferring criminal
charges against him.
But DPP Keriako Tobiko wants the
court to dismiss a suit filed by Mutua
seeking to stop his intended arrest
and prosecution.
The DPP argued that the Consti-
tution mandates the EACC to inves-
tigate any allegations or complaints
reported and thereafter forward the
report on the outcome. The matter
will be heard on July 28

Curtain falls on don
after 51-year career
The death of Prof Jonathan ole Ka-
rei, the chancellor of Jaramogi Ogin-
ga Odinga University of Science and
Technology (Jooust), has dealt a blow
to the academia in the country.
Karei reportedly collapsed at the
Eldoret Airport on Wednesday morn-
ing moments before his scheduled
flight to Nairobi and was pronounced
dead later.
His wife Rachel Karei, who is a
lecturer at the University of Eldoret
(UoE), said the don was in his ele-
ment when he left to the Eldoret In-
ternational Airport for a flight to Nai-
robi and she was shocked to learn of
the sad news later.
He had been well and even
watched the football World Cup fi-
nals on Sunday and was okay through
Monday and Tuesday, said Rachel.
His driver Jackson Oleshow said
they left Elgon View home in Eldoret
with Karei at 7am and the don was
quite jovial all the way to the airport.

SAD NEWS
I assisted him carry some bags
and left him after he had checked in
and drove back to pick Rachel to her
place of work only to learn of the sad
news later, said Mr Oleshow.
Relatives and friends thronged
Kareis Elgon View Estate home in El-
doret yesterday to condole with the
bereaved family.
His sudden death was not only
shocking to the family but also to the
academic fraternity.
Karei has made valuable contri-
bution to university education in his
over 51-year career.
He graduated with a Bachelor of
Arts (Hons) degree in Political Science
and History from Philander Smith
College in the United States in 1963.
Karei later obtained a Master of
Karei collapses at
airport before his
scheduled ight to
Nairobi and dies later
Arts in Political Science and Interna-
tional Relations from Atlanta Univer-
sity. He obtained yet another Masters
degree in Public Relations and Hu-
man Resource Management.
A budding scholar with a con-
suming appetite for knowledge, Prof
Ole Karei was apparently not yet do-
ne with Masters degrees and in 1971,
he obtained a PhD in International
Relations and Administrative Man-
agement and International Law and
Diplomacy from University of Penn-
sylvania, reads his citation during a
Jooust function in May this year.
He was appointed Assistant Pro-
fessor of Political Science and Geog-
raphy at Voorhees College and later
an Associate Professor from 1972 to
1974 when he was promoted to a full
professor.
In 1979, Karei was appointed by
the governor to the South Carolina
State Recognition Committee, be-
coming the first African ever to be ap-
pointed to the committee.
Five years later, former President
Daniel Moi appointed him as first
Chief Academic Officer at Moi Uni-
versity in Eldoret, a position he served
for 30 years.
After retiring from Moi University,
he moved to Narok University where
he was a lecturer.
Later, retired President Kibaki ap-
pointed him in January 2013 to be the
first Chancellor Jooust, a position he
was holding to date.
Karei is survived by seven children.

Moi stadium
not renamed
Moi International Sports Cen-
tre Kasarani has not been re-
named Safaricom Sports Centre,
the Government has maintained.
The Sports ministry reiterated
the multi-purpose stadium retains
its name even after signing a stra-
tegic collaboration deal with mo-
bile network operator Safaricom.
A statement read by Depart-
mental Committee on Labour
Chairman David Were at the Na-
tional Assembly said the deal be-
tween Safaricom and Sports Sta-
dia Management Board (SSMB)
was a culmination of consultative
forums with various authorities.
SSMB put up public tender

bids for naming rights for two fa-
cilities at Moi International Sports
Centre Kasarani, that is the main
stadium and the indoor arena
(gymnasium), read the state-

Yesterday they expressed their dis-
pleasure with the manner in which
the security agencies were handling
the docket. This emerged after Tur-
kana Senator John Munyes informed
the House of impending attacks in the
area on Wednesday. The senator was
speaking in reference to Wednesdays

several others.

curred barely a week after another

Media owners and journalists have
dismissed allegations that they were
coerced to deny the Coalition for Re-
forms and Democracy (CORD) Saba
Saba rally a live coverage.
The chairman of the Media Own-
ers Association Sam Shollei yesterday
assured Kenyans that the media are
not subservient to any political class.
The chair of the Kenya Editors
Guild Linus Kaikai and the organisa-
tions former chair Macharia Gaitho
also denied that media managers
conspired to give the event a black
out.
There was no media blackout on
the events at Uhuru Park, as the rally
was widely covered by the print me-
dia and given air time during the af-
ternoon bulletins. The decision not to
air the event live was taken by the me-
dia owners and there was no coercion.
There was no requirement for contin-
uous live coverage by the coalition,
said Kaikai.
A section of CORD leaders recently
alleged that the media were forced by
the Government give the CORD rally
a black out.
They were speaking when media
owners, editors and parliamentary re-
porters met Parliament officials yes-
terday.
ROLE OF MEDIA
During yesterdays meet-
ing, the role of the media and
Parliament in the promotion
of democracy was emphasised.
Speaker of the National Assembly Jus-
tin Muturi, who was the chief guest,
appreciated the symbiotic relation-
ship between Parliament and the me-
dia, and noted that both are import-
ant in protecting citizens freedoms
and enhancing democratic gains,.
The media and the legislature must
continue working together. We are
conjoined like the Siamese twins.
The presence of the media is vital for
a functioning democracy, and Parlia-
ment should facilitate the medias op-
erations by ensuring freedom of the
Press, Muturi said.
Shollei, who is also the Standard
Groups Chief Executive Officer, cau-
tioned Parliament against passing
draconian laws that impede freedom
of the Press. We hold Parliament in
high esteem as an oversight body. In
the event that Bills passed by Parlia-
ment are seen as unconstitutional, it
does not augur well for the esteemed
position of Parliament, he said.
Kenya Parliamentary Journalists
Association associations chairperson
Caroline Wafula stressed the need for
mutual respect between Parliament
and the media.

The battle over the removal of
electoral commissioners will be
fought on the floor of the House
after a Jubilee dominated com-
mittee tabled a report dismiss-
ing the petition.
In its report presented in the
House yesterday, the Justice and
Legal Affairs Committee indict-
ed the petitioner, activist Wafu-
la Buke, for failing to establish
strong grounds for the remov-
al of the nine Independent Elec-
toral and Boundaries Commis-
sion (IEBC) commissioners.
SUBMISSIONS
The report also noted that the
submissions by Buke were not
enough to task the President to
form a tribunal to commence the
process of sending the commis-
sioners packing over their con-
duct in the last general election.
Upon due consideration and
review of the presentations, the
committee did not find a prima
facie case established against
members of the IEBC for viola-
tion of the aforesaid laws, reads
the report. The committee said
its task was not to recommend
the dissolution of the commis-
sion but to consider if there were
strong grounds to push the mat-
ter to subsequent legal channels.
But CORD MPs registered their
dissenting opinion and vowed
to oppose the report on the floor
of the House. The report indicts
Buke for failing to pursue oth-
er mechanisms in resolving the
matter as provided for by law.

our security is not guaranteed, we are
going to mobilise members of the Tur-

said the senator.
Munyes told the House it was un-
fortunate that the Government was
busy guarding oil wells in the county
at the expense of Turkana communi-
tys security. Security officers in the
region are busy guarding Ngamia One
oil exploration site while the commu-
nity is left exposed.
The senators united in grief and
took the government head-on, accus-
ing it of doing little to stop the rising
spate of senseless killings that have
been witnessed across the country.
Mutahi Kagwe (Nyeri) stressed that it
is the high time the top security chief
took responsibility and resigned.
Kiraitu Murungi (Meru) said the
insecurity crisis is much deeper than
can be handled by Interior Cabinet
Secretary Joseph ole Lenku alone. He
called on the Government to relocate
military barracks from Nairobi to re-
gions where challenges of security are
dire.
Minority Leader Moses Wetangu-
la, senators Martha Wangari (nomi-
nated) and Billow Kerrow (Mandera)

deaths.

said there was low morale in the secu-

Two National Assembly com-
mittees on security have dismissed
demands by Coalition for Reforms
and Democracy (CORD) for with-
drawal of Kenyan troops from So-
malia.
The chairmen of the commit-
tees Ndungu Gethenji (Defence
and Foreign Relations) and Asman
Kamama (National Security and
Administration) termed the CORD
leaderships demand unpatriotic
and hypocritical and accused coa-
lition of being sympathetic with the
terror group.
It is unfortunate that the CORD
team is speaking the same language
with Al Shaabab that KDF should be
pulled out of Somalia. The leaders
should stop behaving in a manner
perceived to be on the same side
with the terror group, said Kama-
ma yesterday.
The two leaders told journalists
at Parliament buildings that the
Government will not disclose the
number of soldiers killed or injured
in line of duty, claiming this was a
matter national security.
We are not going to reveal the
operational details of Somalia, this
will go contrary to the National Se-
curity Council and the KDF Act,
Gethenji said.
KDF, they said, will continue
serving in Africa Union Mission in
Somalia (AMISOM) until advised
otherwise by the African Union and
the United Nations.
We are not going to encourage
politics when it comes to national
security. Deploying the military is
the last line of defence and there-
fore it is totally wrong and unpatri-
otic for the Opposition to play pol-
itics with matters security, warned
Gethenji.
Gethenji and Kamama accused
the CORD leadership of acting as
the political wing of Al Shabab and
questioned their agenda in de-
manding the soldiers withdrawal.

Government and Opposition are a letdown to country
WHAT OTHER MEDIA SAY...
Kenyan Muslims in Mombasa held a vigil to protest the
escalation of hostilities in the Gaza region. This follows a
week-long unceasing bombardment of the area by Israel
rockets in an apparent response to provocation from the
Hamas militants.
Even as that happened, the civil war in Libya raged on
with rebels battling on the main Tripoli International Air-
port. The civil war in Syria is not about to end soon, while
the ISIS jihadists are running amok in Iraq. The Middle East
is bleeding. The skirmished in the Gaza strip accentuated
the crisis facing a region with a huge chunk of the worlds
energy reserves.
But then, it appears that there is no end in sight to the
wars between Israeli and the Islamic Hamas militants. The
latest eruption coming after three Jewish teenagers kid-
napped from the region were found murdered.
While it is every nations right to defend itself against aggres-
sion, the latest round is akin to hitting a mosquito with a
sledgehammer. Israels military response appears to have
targeted civilian areas as rockets wreak havoc, destroying
buildings and causing heavy civilian casualties. Images of
terrified parents holding on to the corpse of their daughters
headless torso should move anybody to despair.
The Egyptian-brokered truce must be made to hold to al-
low for sobriety to return and give peace a chance. The war
has caused serious disruptions in power, water and food
supplies. Schooling, transport and businesses have stalled
on both sides. These are services that need to be restored
immediately, and only a ceasefire can allow for that.
In the same breath, the United States should quickly
move to bring both parties to the negotiating table.
Israel is not likely to disappear and it is in the interest of
peace for the Palestinians to acknowledge its existence. On
the other hand, Israel must recognise and respect the right
of a Palestinian state. In its bid to stop Hamas from getting
supplies that aid in the construction of rockets, Israel placed
a blockade that limits peoples access to food and water be-
sides other essential supplies in Gaza.
The international community, Kenya included, should
express its outrage at the carnage witnessed and do every-
thing possible to make the Middle East a peaceful area.
In the run-up to the 2010 referendum that
led to the promulgation of the 2010 Constitu-
tion, Deputy President William Ruto was one
of the people who opposed its adoption, citing
grey areas that called for amendments. Con-
versely, opposition leader Raila Odinga ac-
knowledged that the Draft Constitution was 70
per cent okay while stressing the need to adopt
it and carry out amendments later.
Today, the Deputy President is vehemently
opposed to any proposals to amend the docu-
ment that he was once opposed to. Calls for
amendment have elicited scorn, but it would
seem like the threat of a referendum has final-
ly awoken the government from its stupor,
judging from the reactions of the Government
and its loyalist troops. They have taken it upon
themselves to pour cold water on issues raised
by the Opposition.
Referendums are provided for in the Con-
stitution and if Cord goes about it within the
confines of the law, the Government need not
revert to the application of unorthodox and
oppressive laws that the new Constitution did
away with. Opposition leaders have claimed
there are Government plans to arrest them on
trumped-up charges.
These are very serious allegations against a
Government that professes democracy and in-
clusiveness.
The veracity of those claims will have to be
ascertained soon. There is the risk that a Gov-
ernment that looks disorganised has given rise
to an Opposition that looks for any opportuni-
ty to embarrass it. The danger is that the Op-
position has resorted to playing to the gallery
by making all sorts of claims.
Strategists within Jubilee have taken the wrong
approach in countering the Oppositions resur-
gence. Trailing Cord to undo their gains in
some areas is hardly the prudent thing to do.
The Governments job is to ensure that the Op-
position remains irrelevant as it carries out its
development agenda and ensure that it stays
on course.
Yet events of the recent past have only suc-
ceeded in exposing those in authority as hav-
ing no agenda for the country other than bash-
ing the opposition. While the Government
blames the Opposition for keeping the country
in a perpetual campaign mode,
it goes ahead to do the same thing. The
President and his deputy are in Mombasa ap-
parently to undo what the opposition did last
week. That is not the way to run a Government.
Plans by the Presidents political advisers to
make him more visible by personally appear-
ing on sites and launching development proj-
ects are good, but look feeble at countering an
oppositon that seemed re-energised to see off
the Government at the next elections in 2017.
Because as it is, that cannot by itself build
public confidence and appeal to Kenyans. To
win the hearts and minds of citizens, the Gov-
ernment must ensure the people can afford
food, education and other basic needs of life
like feeling safe enough to go about their daily
chores.
The opposition should keep Government in
check and desist from plunging the country in-
to a state of politicking that has proved over the
years to be counter-productive.
It is within their right to call for a referen-
dum on the Constitution. What they should not
do is create unnecessary panic.
The Government should on the other hand
facilitate the referendum because it is a consti-
tutional right. They should by all means avoid
the politics of attrition that holds back the
country.
The conduct of Dutch troops in the lead-
up to the 1995 Srebrenica massacre is, and
will remain, a deeply shameful moment in
that nations history. Thousands of Bosnian
Muslims had sought protection in the camp of
a battalion of Dutch UN peacekeepers, in an
attempt to escape the likely slaughter at the
hands of Ratko Mladics advancing Bosnian-
Serb army. The outnumbered Dutch troops
fearful of being overrun bowed to pressure
from Mladic and forced the Muslim families
out of their compound. Some 8,000 men and
boys were then executed in the bloodiest
massacre of post-Second World War Europe.
Todays ruling that the Dutch state should
pay compensation to the families of 300 men
murdered by Mladics forces does not come
free from controversy.
There may be a dark lining to the sunny
June employment report, which recorded
an increase of 288,000 payroll jobs for the
month. Most or all of the increase may
have been part-time jobs. If thats a trend,
it could signal a weaker economy. It could
also vindicate critics of the Afordable Care
Act. They have argued that the added costs
of providing health insurance for full-time
workers would cause many rms to emphasize
part-time employment. Is it a trend? Writing in
the Wall Street Journal, Mortimer Zuckerman
real estate developer and editor in chief of
U.S. News & World Report says yes. Some
data seem convincing. In June, part-time jobs
increased by 1,115,000, reports the Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS); full-time jobs fell by
708,000.
In the good-news/bad-news world of
blockbuster drugs, the latest is the launch of
Sovaldi, a drug to treat hepatitis C. Sovaldi
comes with a cure rate as high as 90% for a
disease that af icts 3 million people in the
United States, and with fewer complications
than previous treatments. But it also comes
with a scary side efect: a price of $1,000 a pill.
Because the pills must be taken once a day
for 12 weeks, the cost of treatment comes to
$84,000, plus thousands more for other drugs
included in the protocol. Even with a generous
insurance policy, a patient would likely pony
up more than $20,000. And how does drug
maker Gilead Sciences arrive at that price? The
answer can be hard to come by.
Compensation to Srebrenica families A part-timer boom, or blip? Why $1,000 a pill?

Palaver
Our honourable senators must be
very cunning! Believe it, they can
actually see ahead. There is a law
that says only the three major
political parties get funding from
the political parties kitty. Small
parties have been crying foul, but
now the senators have passed a
Bill to make sure they bene-
t. Dont be taken in, it is not
magnanimity, it is called planning
ahead. Some know all too well
they might have to join or form
small parties of their own come
2017. Why not take insurance?
It is a dogs life for a teacher. He-
res an uplifting experience about
a real dog. A dog named Ace is
being hailed as a hero for licking
the face of a sleeping, deaf 13-ye-
ar-old Indianapolis boy to alert
him that the house was on re.
Indianapolis Fire Department
says the boy was home alone
and sleeping without his hearing
aids when the re started. My
dog licked my face and woke me
up, Lamb said. I was like, Stop
it! What? You want to be fed?
I thought he wanted to be fed
or go outside. Ace didnt stop
licking Nick until the teen got up,
too. Thats when he realized the
house was full of smoke.

Contrary to what Lamu County
Commissioner Njenga Miiri thinks
of the police reservists who
voluntarily returned their guns to

gangs, they did the right thing
by their conscience. Better be a

another day than be a dead hero.

A teacher who is not happy with
the government has this to say;
In the public eye, teachers are
worth as much as they can spend
on lunch and lodgings while
away from their
workstation (and
the brand of beer
they take). All these
things are tied up
with the per diem,
of which no ofcial
rates exist for teachers. Is it any
wonder, then, that the Kenya
National Examinations Council
often gives teachers a raw deal
because they peg their payments
on teachers low public and social
value? It is time to rectify this
and restore teachers dignity. Are
you there, Prof Jacob Kaimenyi?
Is this a case of sour grapes? One
of the worlds football greats has
opposed the recognition of his
country man as the
best player at the
just concluded
Fifa World Cup
in Brazil. Anybody
who knows Lionel
Messis wizardry
on the pitch can-
not begrudge him that, except
that Diego Maradona did. What
happened to patriotism? Could
it be that the reformed addict is
not happy Messi is trying to eclip-
se him? Jealousy is a powerful
negative emotion.
Saba Saba rally came and went
and so we must ask ourselves
what the hullaballoo was all
about. We must bear in mind the
fact that politics is made up of
processes knitted together by the
actors, not a one-off event.
Let us first go to Raila Odinga and
his Coalition for Reforms and De-
mocracy brigade that includes in
its top ranks former Vice President
Kalonzo Musyoka, a man strug-
gling so hard to fit into the shoes
of a political rebel. He enrolled in
Standard One class of political
dissent in 2002, after former Pres-
ident Moi apparently sidestepped
him and picked Uhuru Kenyatta
as his preferred successor.
Like Raila who had folded up his
National Development Party to
join Kanu, Mr Musyoka wouldnt
understand why that was the case.
Also disgruntled by Mois decision
were another two former Vice
Presidents: the late George Saitoti
and Musalia Mudavadi, who only
served for three months and has
never found his political footing
since then, except for the short
stint in the top echelons of the Ki-
baki-Raila coalition.
Apart from Raila and Kalonzo in
CORD, there is also Moses Wetan-
gula, the guy who having been
Foreign minister in the second Ki-
baki administration, is allowed to
have nightmares because of that
disturbing fragrance from some
parcel of land Kenya bought in To-
kyo for its embassy at a cost that
has baffled valuers. You see he
pleaded innocent, he had to step
aside from government, and his
juniors are now in court, includ-
ing some haughty and hawkish
chap who used to sing political
lullabies for Kibaki in his troubled
d a y s .
Raila promised a storm ahead of
the July 7 rally if President Kenyat-
ta did not accede to his demand
for a structured national dia-
logue. Uhuru at first accepted,
then his Deputy William Ruto
frowned on the idea, and he
changed his mind, even trivializ-
ing it by saying Mr odinga could
go and meet him over a cup of tea.
When a panicky Executive finally
bared its fangs, unleashing the se-
curity machinery as if a coup was
imminent, and closed the ears to
calls for dialogue, Railas team
mounted the podium in Uhuru
Park and declared the next step: a
million signatures to force a refer-
endum. The referendums main
agenda, if CORD gets its way, is
the disbandment of the Indepen-
dent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission. Whether it can mus-
ter the confidence of majority of
Kenyans to not only hold, but de-
liver a credible election. The rul-
ing Jubilee coalition ruined IEBCs
prospects on this by defending it
against the CORD onslaught. You
can imagine what would happen
if the football team you are going
to play against, cheers and ulu-
lates at the entry of a particular
referee into the field just before
the first whistle goes off.
Mr Odinga in my understanding
wasnt going to drop a bombshell
The conduct of our national
discourse on security has become
a shallow and unhelpful debate
on the person of the Cabinet Sec-
retary of the Interior Joseph Ole
Lenku as opposed to a healthy
and robust argument on how to
tame runaway crime and restore
peace and security within our
borders.
There are those who have
made it their job to disparage Mr
Ole Lenku and they have done so
with gusto that is at best remark-
able and at worst obsessive. You
would think the way people are
vilifying and caricaturing the In-
terior Cabinet Secretary it is as if
the deep sense of insecurity
would disappear by this effort
alone; that our security challeng-
es could be wished away or re-
moved from us in one abracadab-
ra move of throwing Mr Ole Lenku
out of office.
This is not the case. This will
not be the case. The central prob-
lem with holding this view is it is
indicative of a paralysing naivet
that makes one wonder whether
we are remotely aware of the
magnitude of what we are up
against and what is required from
us to get past it. The get-rid-of-
Ole Lenku chorus hints at a re-
markable ignorance and an
Leave Ole Lenku alone, lets deal with the issue

think the
way peo-
ple are
vilifying
and cari-
caturing
the Interior
Cabinet
Secretary it

rity would

fort alone
equally dangerous one.
Our borders are porous to
both arms and terrorists, our gen-
erosity to refugees is being
abused, numerous key personnel
are on the take from police offi-
cers to intelligence agents to im-
migration agents who dish out
identity and employment docu-
ments to anyone who throws a ti-
dy sum their way. The idea that
our country will be safer today if
Mr Ole Lenku leaves office is a
sorry manifestation of wishful
thinking.
I am not defending the man
nor am I excusing him from the
various sins that the multitude
has apparently convicted him of;
I am merely suggesting that we
are better served as a country by
moving the debate along to more
substantive issues instead of end-
lessly engaging in the same talk
over and over again. We have a re-
al problem to deal with; it is in our
best interests to focus our ener-
gies on that front.
We are not losing lives be-
cause Joseph Ole Lenku does not
do well in front of a microphone
and terrorists are not running
loose because Mr Ole Lenku is
not tall or does not have a com-
manding voice - any pretence or
suggestion to the contrary is an
insult to our common intelli-
gence. Indeed, one must pay
credit to Mr Ole Lenku for the
steely determination to show up
to work every day and keep the
fight going.
Perceptions are not the basis
of the security game and they
rightly should not be. We are fac-
ing the most daunting period in
our history in terms of security; in
terrorism we face an unrelenting
and merciless enemy who must
take a great deal of comfort in the
fact that we cannot seem to focus
our attention at stopping them.
We must start to cause them a
bit more discomfort in the way
we react to heinous actions
against this land.
Let us respond with outrage
and derision to terror attacks and
crime sprees, but to the perpetra-
tors not the men and women re-
sponsible for securing our lives
and property. If and when they
make mistakes let us criticize
them, but do so objectively. Let us
instead apply ourselves to con-
tributing to a safer Kenya by be-
ing vigilant and helping law en-
forcement officials with
information and intelligence.
When you are confronted by a
major challenge, the temptation
for many is to panic. But situa-
tions like the one we find our-
selves in calls for cool level head-
edness and steely determination
directed towards implementing
long-term strategies to achieve
long term solutions.
As a society let us discuss the
installation of CCTV cameras and
modern surveillance equipment
let us discuss stricter control over
articles of citizenship and the is-
suance of work permits to those
who mean to cause us harm. Let
us talk about the advantages of
biometric registration of persons,
the purchases of thousands of po-
lice vehicles and the recruitment
of 10,000 police currently under-
way.
Let us focus on these things
because this is what Mr Ole Len-
ku is actually doing, let us engage
him on these matters because
that is how we help ourselves-that
is how we secure ourselves, our
children and protect our way of
life.

on Saba Saba Day, or even an-
nounce a march to State House
because the blood of the protes-
tors would forever drip from his
hands and neuter him politically.
No, he was just laying the ground
for the 2017 General Election and
putting on the national agenda
for the intervening period the is-
sue of IEBC, which no matter
what, the country will have to
confront before then or we shall
begin hearing the famous; No Re-
forms, No elections chorus like in
1 9 9 7 !
The only thing Mr Odinga did was
to raise the expectation in CORD
too high up, and heighten the
anxiety in Jubilee.
But as we asked earlier, it is debat-
able if he will be able to keep
CORDs troops together till 2017
and even win more, because the
next election will as all the others,
have new alliances and political
coalescing, with the centre pole of
each being tribe.
We also wondered and we still do,
for how long Mr Odinga would
keep the President and Mr Ruto
on the edge of the their seats with-
out hitting back Kanu style. I am
sure you have heard about claims
of arrests targeting CORD.
President Kenyatta and Ruto must
have breathed a sigh of relief after
July 7, because it was, most likely
in their thinking, the case of Mark
Twains chicken that imagines it
was laying a meteorite only to dis-
cover it was just a tiny egg.
Whichever way President Kenyat-
ta and Mr Ruto look at it, I have
this discomforting feeling that we
have not seen the end of the con-
frontation yet; it has just started
and what we are seeing are the re-
hearsals. President Kenyatta and
Ruto, and I may be wrong on this,
must be counting on the fact that
they inherited a wobbling econo-
my, soaring insecurity, unbear-
able public wage bill...and over-
whelming public support.
Yes, they are right, but then once
in a hole you dont continue dig-
ging, through watering the old
oak of tribalism and corruption in
Government, or even getting a
disorganised and inexperienced
team, which talks to each other at
cross-purpose, to deal with your
problems. Kenyans are not blam-
ing President Kenyatta and Mr
Ruto for some of these things, ex-
cept of course the share of Gov-
ernment pie.
So what has Mr Odinga and his
team achieved? Keeping Presi-
dent Kenyatta and Mr Ruto too
busy fighting fires, to the extent of
almost using bare hands, on a dai-
ly basis. As to whether Mr Odinga
should stop doing this, what can
we say? He is already doing it any-
way. And in any case, President
Kenyatta and Mr Ruto are re-
sponding to the chorus of his po-
litical songs albeit in different or-
chestras and musical notes.

go out to work but are not paid cash
in form of allowances/Per diems/
DSAs. It is Per Diem that motivates
people to travel all over, be they MPs,
MCAs, civil servants, teachers, among
others. Once they realise that going
out of station means coming back
with a practically full stomach but
without actual cash in the pockets,
travel expenses will be reduced to a
miracle level. People should never
be paid sitting allowance. Give them
a higher salary if you must, but not
the allowance. It is abused at all
levels. Then there will be no need
even to retrench staf. Billions are
lost in allowances every year only
comparable to the mega scandals
that we read about. Liz Gitonga

Courting death to get education:
I was shocked to see the photo of
school going children crossing a
risky bridge to get to school. It is
unfortunate that after 50 years of
independance, we still lack the sense
of distinguishing between wants and
needs. We want to build the standard
gauge railway line all the way to
Sudan, but nothing is being done for
this death bridge that may be a few

There is need for community
education to curb delement
If you have been looking at your
dailies this fortnight, you have ev-
ery reason to wince, squirm in your
seat and wonder what next for the
Kenyan child. No day has passed
without a report of defilement, in-
cest or rape. The culprits are not
your usual suspects. They are
known people to their victims. They
are close relatives, priests, teachers
and people considered as allies and
harmless by the victims.
In Uasin Gishu County for ex-
ample, 39 pupils dropped out of
school as a result of being defiled by
their teachers! The county is not
alone in this. Siaya, Taita Taveta and
Nakuru counties are experiencing
a child defilement eruption. Did I
mention Busia? This county tops
the list of shame with the youngest
reported case at six months.
The effects of non consensual
sex with minors cannot be overstat-
ed. Besides exposing them to the
obvious risks of early pregnancies,
STIs, HIV/Aids, physical tear and
injuries, it destroys their spirit and
their will to live and make merry in
their hey days. It makes them
afraid. Afraid to live, afraid to trust.
It robs them of their childhood; of
their future.
According to the World Health
Organisation, injuries are the num-
ber one cause of deaths to adoles-
cents globally and apart from road
injuries, defilements are a major
cause of mortality, morbidity and
infirmity among the children.
Children with disabilities are
even at greater risk of sex predators
as they lack the power to defend
themselves. In most cases, these at-
tacks go unreported. The offenders
oftenly threaten the victim with
dire consequences should they re-
port them. The end result is that the
child, afraid, gives in, not once, not
twice but for as long as the offend-
er has had his fill.
In Embu for example, it is re-
ported that a man continuously
had sex with a ten-year-child for
three years. Unsuspecting villagers
only knew when a slight bump, an
obvious sign of pregnancy was ob-
served.
It is important as a nation that
we tackle child sex slavery. It is im-
portant that we look at the menace
holistically.
There is need to strengthen im-
plementation of policies and guide-
lines protecting children. Article 53
of the Constitution guarantees a
child the right to be protected from
abuse, neglect, harmful cultural
practices, all forms of violence and
inhuman treatment.
It is a time we said NO to all
forms of child defilement. Letting
offenders roam our streets is not
the way to go. Making them slash
grass is not any better. Agencies re-
sponsible for protecting children
need to create an environment
where the young ones are not just
physically safe, but also feel safe in
their hearts.
We cannot afford to have a soci-
ety where every child has a dark
story which wont be told until it is
seen.
Recent studies have shown that
children who are abused at tender
ages have a higher probability of
being abusers in future.
But stopping these heinous
crimes against children isnt just a
legal matter; there is need for com-
munity education and a return to
our African systems where a child
belonged to the community. Par-
ents also have a role to play in en-
suring that they generate confi-
dence and a positive relationship
where a child is free to talk about
the lurking dangers in her sur-
roundings.
Forfeit laptops for other crucial issues
One year on, the Government is
yet to deliver its laptop pledge tar-
geting over 1.3 million primary
school pupils.The project has con-
tinued to face hurdles ranging from
tender controversy, financial strains
evidently from high cost tenders and
opposition from critics who term
the whole project as out of touch
with reality and premature
It is worth noting that the gov-
ernment has also acknowledged it is
facing challenges in implementing
the project since physical structures
in most schools are undeveloped
and dilapidated. Of 20,308 targeted
schools, reports indicate that only
2,037 have access to electricity, an
equivalent of 25 per cent.
The government should first use
part of the cash to employ more
teachers as the country is facing se-
vere shortage of their services. In the
same vein, it should use the money
to pay the teachers who are com-
mon in our streets protesting over
low pay and poor working condi-
tions.
Secondly, our educational infra-
structure is in a sorry state to say the
least. Poor communities in North-
ern Kenya where children learn un-
der trees and sit on stones will derive
more utility from secure classrooms
and desks that from laptops.
Thirdly, these communities need
food, water and security for educa-
tion to sound necessary in their
lives.You practically cannot com-
fortably learn on empty stomachs
and constant threats from bandits
and terrorists. Lastly, it should use
part of the fund to improve accessi-
bility to those areas by building
roads and providing electricity to fa-
cilitate future such projects. After all
is done, it can go ahead and plan fu-
ture laptop projects as these people
will now be in a position to embrace
technology at an improved and en-
abling environment.

YOUR SAY

The latest report from Auditor-
General Edward Ouko on how
the 33 out of 47 counties lavishly
spent public funds in the rst
quarter of 2013 is disturbing.
Apparently, last month, the
Controller of Budget Agnes
Odhiambo revealed that 127
MCAs gobbed up Sh299.9 million
against an allocation of Sh160
million. The devil is in details.
If the preceding reports are
anything to go by, it is apparent
that county governments have
become breeding grounds
and monuments for scal
indiscipline, maladministration,
fraudulent dealings and
corruption. It is an indictment
of county governments. Little
wonder, there are insignicant
and dismal developments in
many counties to date due to
colossal waste of public funds.
Although the county
governments have continued
to vociferously deny fraudulent
and extravagant spending, it
is now a fact that governors
and MCAs have become gravy
trains. The rapacity of governors
and their proclivity and
obsession to spend taxpayers
money on unprotable
adventures should stop. SRC and
EACC should stop this money-
wasting scandals. It is in the
public interest that improper
and wasteful spending of
taxpayers money by the county
governors is halted forthwith.
Plans to interfere
with TSC ill-advised
Commit on issuance
of KCSE certicates
Joho, Marwa must
end squabbles
The Government through the
Ministry of Education has announced
plans to hire secondary school head
teachers on five-year contracts. Ac-
cording to the proposal, the educa-
tion Cabinet Secretary will be in a po-
sition to appoint a replacement
where the headteacher is interdicted
or dismissed. It will also be empow-
ered to sack them if they do not per-
form.
The Constitution spells out clear-
ly that the Teachers Service Commis-
sion (TSC) is an independent Gov-
ernment commission established to
manage human resource within the
education sector. I therefore fail to
understand why the Government
would want to interfere with the op-
erations of the commission. Does the
CS have the records of teachers based
on performance, discipline and oth-
er integrity issues before appointing
them to those important positions or
will he rely on TSC which is more
conversant with the role. The com-
mission should be left to do what it
knows best with the Government
adopting an advisory role on vital is-
sues.
The Deputy President has given
hope to many poor Kenyans, whose
secondary certificates are being held
by their former schools. But while we
cherish the Governments concern on
the matter, we are yet to see its com-
mitment over the same. About Sh14
billion is owed to various schools.
I commend the principals who al-
lowed those poor students complete
their education. The Government
now has an obligation to come up
with a plan that will not affect the op-
eration of the schools. They can col-
laborate with the school heads to
waive a certain percentage of the fee
arrears to the affected candidates. If
this can be implemented in an effi-
cient way, all the parties involved will
have no reason to complain.
The recent furious exchange of
word between county commissioner
Marwa and governor Joho confirms
critics earlier assertion of imminent
conflict and duplicating of roles be-
tween county commissioners and
governors.
My disposition however is neither
to cast aspersions or praise either but
to underscore the fundamental fact
that working together would form a
solid basis of development. They
ought to muffle their differences and
work together and the current state
of insecurity will be half solved.

The
smooth
rider
T
he image of Prezzo UK
test-riding a police
bike, rather ill-clad in
his suit and tie, was followed by
yet another picture when he was
certainly better prepared for the
field trip. He was in a long, Man-
dela shirt.
The latter image captured
him somewhere in Kakamega
County where he had gone to in-
spect a road project. His able
deputy, Man Ruto, stood by in a
sharp suit and red tie.
Those who know something
about fashion etiquette say one
shouldnt wear a red tie when
dealing with their bosses as the
colour is considered the ultimate
symbol of authority, but when
one is dealing with political alli-
ances one can never quite tell
who is calling the shots.
But thats not my problem; I
was more intrigued by the sarto-
rial disconnect between Prezzo
UK and his able deputy, or our
Dynamic Duo as former Prezzo
Kibaki called them.
This time last year, they were
stepping out in matching suits
and ties, sleeves folded to
demonstrate they were steeped
in toil, or readying to.
This week, none had their
sleeves folded precisely because
they had no intention of soiling
their hands.
Thats not to say they have
been doing so in the past; when
they launched the Jubilee admin-
istration, Prezzo UK and his able
deputy declared their Govern-
ment would be about saying and
doing. And say they did; what
have been missing are the
much-promised deeds.
Man Ruto has been the mas-
ter of roadside declarations that
end where they start, the most
recent being that the police
chiefs at the Coast had only two
days to nab dead or alive, Man
Ruto declared the crooks be-
hind Lamu atrocities.
The two-day deadline came
and went, and Im yet to hear of
any police chief who has been
fired for failing to apprehend or
produce the said crooks.
As a matter of fact, some po-
lice chief reportedly interdicted
in the aftermath of the first attack
in Mpeketoni has resurfaced in
another county in the same po-
sition, which is to say we are sim-
ply devolving incompetence,
rather than routing it out.
Man Rutos other roadside
declaration came this week when
he declared no student should
suffer the indignity of having his
testimonials withheld by school
authorities because of fees ar-
rears.
The certificates should be is-
sued and the small matters of
fees left to the Government, Man
Ruto declared. I was at once
touched and moved by his gen-
erosity. After all, this is a Govern-
ment thats averse to debts re-
member the alacrity with which
they sorted Anglo Leasing crooks
so I have no doubt that the
school arrears will be dealt with
promptly.
Only that Man Rutos record
of matching rhetoric with action
is mismatched; those who heard
him declare costs of power con-
nection fees would be remain at
prevailing market rates, with the
promise of lower tariffs in the
foreseeable future, must know
they were taken for a ride, and
Now that the People Daily is no longer our
competitor its been circulating for free for the
past three weeks I have been scouring every
city street for a copy.
Its nowhere to be seen. The first time I en-
countered a free copy was somewhere on Dennis
Pritt Road, where I occasionally pick other news-
papers on sale. If you buy more than two issues,
the People Daily is thrown in as a bonus.
I have been to other cities where they circulate
free dailies. Londons Metro is one such example.
The paper is placed in dispensers outside train
stations, or a vendor will be on hand to dish out
one whenever a passenger happens about.
So, why are vendors hoarding the newspaper,
or using the sale of the People Daily competitors
as the basis of the free gift?
And what happens on slow days, when the
other papers are not moving as fast and the ven-
dor is left with stashes of the People Daily yet to
be disbursed?
Is there a mechanism for handling returns or
the vendor smiles all the way to the nearest waste
paper dealer?
If the latter is true, then this would be Prezzo
UKs self-fulfilling prophesy of newspapers serv-
ing no other sensible use other than as meat
wrap. And since the man happens to have a sub-
stantial stake at the paper, then this truly is poet-
ic justice.
Now thats what one might call living to the
true meaning of Jubilees mantra of kusema na
kutenda (saying and doing), only that one did not
expect this to extend to private business.
South African writer Nadine Gordi-
mer, who died this week at the age of 90,
was a towering icon who lived through
her countrys momentous history, from
the institutionalisation of apartheid in
1948 to the end of racial segregation in
1995, and the emergence of the black
elite greedy for power and glory in the
21st century.
She documented these phases with
integrity and fidelity to the truth over a
period of 70 years, and for her efforts,
won many important awards, including
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991.
Born of Latvian and British parents of
Jewish heritage, Gordimer knew what it
meant to live on the margins of society,
not fully accepted on any side in South
Africas fragmented society, regulated by
an oppressive system that had no regard
for humanity.
She dedicated her lifetime pushing
those boundaries in her quest for libera-
tion of all humans, irrespective of race or
creed, and joined the African National
Congress when it was still proscribed, yet
remained its staunchest critic when the
party started departing from its core ide-
als.
Her last book, No Time Like the Pres-
ent, captures that sense of disillusion-
ment, as well as the never-ending stir-
rings of what it means to be human in
dehumanising systems.
When churning newspapers for
meat wrapping is poetic justice
Fare thee well, Nadine Gordimer,

Our dynamic duo discover saying is not
same as doing, but image is everything
the prices have gone up instead.
Thats not to say Man Ruto is a liar;
it is not humanly possible to predict
how everything will pan out tomorrow,
unless one is a magician.
Which is why our dynamic duo is
devising a new strategy. Rather than
commit in words what they intend to
do in the future, they have discovered
that image is everything, and Prezzo
UK isnt that bad looking, especially
when hes had a good nights sleep and
the eyes are not red.
But then, what you see is not always

Two Members of Parliament were
yesterday questioned by police in Nai-
robi over claims that they made hate
speeches during a public rally.
The National Alliance (TNA) partys
Maina Kamanda (Starehe) and George
Theuri (Embakasi West) were grilled
at Central Police Station by Criminal
Investigations Department officers.
This brings to five the number of MPs
who have been questioned out of the
nine that police are planning to grill.
The others who have appeared before
MPs grilled over hate speech claims
Two politicians record
statements with CID
bringing to ve
number of TNA MPs
who have so far done so
the officers are Othayas Mary Wam-
bui, Francis Waititu (Juja) and Kareke
Mbiuki (Maara).
They are accused of making in-
flammatory statements during a ral-
ly in Muthurwa, Nairobi, last month.
Police said they were still waiting for
Chege Njoroge (Kasarani), Ben Mutura
(Makadara), Richard Tongi (Nyaribari
Chache) and Kimani Ichungwa (Ki-
kuyu) to record statements with them.
After spending four hours with the
police at the station, Kamanda said
yesterday that he is a peace loving cit-
izen and denied spreading hate mes-
sages.
I love Kenya and all the peo-
ple. I have never called for war or
eviction of people and we con-
tinue to ask for peace, he said.
Central head of CID Nehemia Bitok
said there is a ready team to record
statements from the MPs and asked
the remaining ones to appear before
it as soon as possible.
We are in the process of taking
the statements from the MPs as per
the directive of the Director of Pub-
lic Prosecutions before we return the
file to his office, said Bitok yesterday.
Four CORD legislators were ques-
tioned last month over similar alle-
gations. But senators Hassan Omar,
Elizabeth Ongoro, Johnstone Mutha-
ma and MP Junet Mohamed termed
their summonses as a form of intimi-
dation by the Jubilee government and
denied that their remarks amounted
to hate speech.
Out of the nine CORD-af-
filiated leaders that the Di-
rector of Public Prosecutions
Keriako Tobiko had ordered investi-
gated, only four recorded statements.
They are said to have committed the
offence during recent political rallies
in Kibera and Eastleigh.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK)
had said allegations by the two TNA
MPs in the mainstream media had the
potential to incite the public to vio-
lence. They have all denied the claims.
Methanol, which has been linked
to the toxic brews that have killed
hundreds of people, may soon be
classified as a controlled substance,
if the National Authority for the Cam-
paign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse
(Nacada) has its way.
Nacada officials believe this will
enable them to monitor the manu-
facture of alcoholic drinks.
The agency is lobbying Health Cab-
inet Secretary James Macharia and his
Interior co-ordination counterpart
Joseph ole Lenku to gazette the sub-
stance as such, to strengthen the fight
against illicit brews.
If the move succeeds, methanol
will enter the list of controlled sub-
stances being monitored by the Phar-
macy and Poisons Board, which mon-
itors medical drugs and substances.
We need to keep a close eye on
methanol from now on, otherwise
unscrupulous brewers will contin-
ue using it and more lives will be lost
to adulterated brews, Nacada Chief
Executive Officer William Okedi said
yesterday after chairing an emergen-
cy inter-agency meeting following 29
killer-brew deaths across the country.
Once use of methanol is close-
ly restricted, the fight against killer
brews will have been enhanced sig-
nificantly. If any deaths from brews
laced with methanol occur in future,
we will just trace it to the actual im-
porters, he added.
Pharmacy and Poisons Board Di-
rector of Inspections, Surveillance
and Enforcement Ahmed Mohamed
said if Methanol is gazetted as a con-
trolled substance, importers will be
required to get a licence to continue
importing it.
He said an importer must also
demonstrate how the substance has
been used before a licence is used to
import a fresh consignment.
Controlled substances are mon-
itored closely and those handling
them can easily be held accountable
in case of misuse, he said.

AG hands over key Anglo Leasing
reports to Swiss authorities
Leasing scandal and were holding as-
sets and money acquired illegally.
The Kenyan Government has giv-
en a swift and thorough response to
our request. Such response is import-
ant in promoting international rela-
tions and ensuring a smooth flow of
activities. Exchanging evidence be-
tween two countries will enable the
Anglo Leasing issue receive efficient
information for justice to be pro-
cured, said Pitteloud.
The AG had received the official
Swiss request for mutual legal assis-
tance in criminal matters through a
letter dated June 3, where the Kama-
ni brothers - Chamanlal and Rashmi -
have been named as accused persons
on allegations of money laundering.
The Kenya anti-graft agency had
in May 2007 written to Swiss author-
ities requesting assistance in investi-
gations into a case of serious or com-
plex fraud which there are reasonable
grounds to believe have been com-
mitted in Kenya with some acts in the
UK, Switzerland and other countries.
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Com-
mission (EACC) Vice-Chairperson Ms
Anne Keino asserted the commission
had availed every report asked for by
Switzerland.
EACC Chief Executive Officer Ha-
lakhe Waqo said investigations into
the matter were at the tail end and
conclusions will soon be revealed.
Kenya and Switzerland had
launched joint probes into Anglo
Leasing, seven years after the former
first sought mutual assistance from
Geneva to bust the scandals archi-
tects.
The recent Sh1.4 billion An-
glo Leasing payments made by the
Government sparked controversy,
with Opposition leader Raila Odinga
claiming the money should not have
been paid.
Attorney General Githu Muigai
has handed over what is believed to
be crucial information to Swiss au-
thorities as the joint probe on the
multi-billion shilling Anglo Leasing
scam gains momentum.
The move comes after suspects
Deepak Kamani and his two broth-
ers rushed to court seeking to stop
the Kenyan Government from releas-
ing any information requested by the
Swiss Federal Attorneys office. The
brothers are wanted by Switzerland
over alleged money laundering.
Yesterday, Swiss Ambassador
Jacques Pitteloud said the reports
were important in their investigations
to determine whether there was any
illegal flow of money that would lead
to prosecutions.
Swiss authorities are expected to
probe some firms in Switzerland sus-
pected of being involved in the Anglo

In open-air classroom, they
still thirst for education
They have dened
virtual walls in their
minds, which mark
their classroom
It is every childs joy to attend a
school where they are free to mingle,
play, sing and do all that children love
doing in a secure environment.
But a visit to Olorubae Nursery
School in Il Motiok area in Laikipia
North Sub-County reflected some-
how a different world within Kenya.
This is a nursery school where one
cannot tell the difference between
children in a classroom, an infor-
mal childrens meeting or a group of
children playing in the wild some-
where near a tree with a blackboard
leaning on it.
The school, located approximate-
ly 130 kilometres northwest of Nanyu-
ki in Laikipia County, is a true reflec-
tion of desperation and poverty that
thrives within the area.
Located in a partly plain ground,
the school is dotted with acacia trees
and other semi-arid vegetation, and
barely ten metres from a nearby
manyatta.
Olorubae nursery is a feeder
school to Il Motiok Primary School,
which is located several kilometres
away.
It serves children from the neigh-
bouring homesteads who are too
young to reach the main school. The
children do not wear uniforms nei-
ther do they have toys common with
children from well-to-do areas. But
their passion for knowledge is evi-
dent to all.
PASSION FOR KNOWLEDGE
Their tiny bags can only carry two
books. The books are squeezed to cre-
ate room for wild fruits- the only read-
ily available snack in the famine-hit
area. Once in a while the lucky ones
will carry tea, porridge and, very rare-
ly, milk for lunch.
Since the parents are poor and un-
able to put up a room, they set aside a
ground within the expansive Il Motiok
group ranch which was established to
help tap the tourism potential with-
in the area.
On the eastern side stands a worn
out chair, which their teacher, Rebec-
ca Cheli, sits on when conducting her
daily duties. By its side, and placed on
the ground, is Chelis handbag while a
school register lies on top of her bag.
On the southern side is an olden
black wall leaned on a thorny aca-
cia tree while some manila papers,
which are learning aids for the chil-
dren, hang from the trees thorns on
the right side of the board.
HELP APPEAL
A few other pupils are accompa-
nied by their younger siblings.
Ms Cheli says the young ones are
not registered in the register. But she
cannot send them away.
The area is at the moment rav-
aged by a stinging drought which
has forced some families to migrate
to unknown destinations in search of
pastures. Those who have not moved
send their young children to school so
that they can get time to go out and
get some food to feed their families,
said Cheli adding that she also fac-
es problems getting her salary, since
she has to wait until the parents sell
off their livestock and pay fees for her
to earn.
I know I have doctors, pilots,
teachers and all kinds of profession-
als in this class and my determination
is to ensure I nurture them by giving

Residents received
the move warmly
as matatu operators
protested, but now
council says all is well
By KEPHER OTIENO
The Municipal Council of Kisumu
in conjunction with the trafc police
department has successfully locked
public transport out of the towns
centre.
Thanks to the combined forces,
no 14-seater matatu and boda boda
operates in the central business
district now.
And residents have praised the
effort, arguing sanity has been
restored in the CBD and trafc ow
was now smooth.
No matatus or boda bodas are
allowed to pick or drop passengers
at the CBD. The ban also applies to
tricycles and it has been in effect for
the past one week, though amid
protests.
Distances shortened
The authorities have also blocked
Oginga Odinga Avenue up to
Standard Chartered Bank junction to
ease trafc ow.
Passengers are now being
dropped at Jomo Kenyatta Highway
and trek to town.
The move follows successful
negotiations between the authority
and matatu operators whose
distances have now been cut short.
We are happy because the plans
have reduced our distance by
one-and-a-half kilometres, said a
matatu operator George Onyango.
According to the town authorities
the plan aims to decongest the city
and will remain in force until 2013.
Thereafter the council will
develop fresh plans to accommodate
the increased number of private cars
in town, a source from the council
said.
Already, the number of private
cars streaming in the town has
peaked and the trafc department
anticipates the gure will rise.
The councils enforcement ofcer
in charge of the trafc order Adrian
Ouma said they would not back
down on the move.
WIN-win situation
Eng Ouma said matatu owners
appreciated the directive because
they still charge the same bus fare
despite the distance being short-
ened.
It is a win-win situation, the
matatu operators have all the
reasons to smile same as the
council, he said, as he asked them
to co-operate.
Kisumu Mayor Sam Okello
thanked the residents for allowing
them to bring sanity within the CBD.
There have been complaints of
matatu disorder within the CBD,
which have been disrupting smooth
operations of businesses.
With the new measures in force
people can now go about their
business easily without disruptions
by blaring sounds.
Nyanza PPO Njue Njagi promised
to support the council to restore
sanity and warned that those who
resist change would be arrested and
charged.

When the Council announced
the plan to re-route public
transport from the CBD, it was
received with mixed reactions
Residents welcomed it, say-
ing it would help in planning

operators complied for hours
before they re-grouped to

FROM THE
y B JOB WERU
The Busia County Government
has unveiled a ve-year water
management strategic plan aimed
at increasing access to clean water
from the current 46 per cent to 60
per cent.
The Sh9 billion plan will centre
on water, environment, natural
resources and institutional
strengthening in all wards in the
county.
Governor Sospeter Ojaamong,
who presided over the launch, said
the strategic plan will provide a
clear focus for implementation of
development initiatives in the water
department.
Let all our activities be
predictable. We do not want these
roadside declarations, let us be
strategic, Ojaamong said.
The Chief Of cer in the
department of Water and Natural
Resources, Timothy Mboga, said the
county requires Sh1.6 billion this
year for the project and a further
Sh1.8 billion in 2015.
A middle-aged boda boda
operator was killed and his body
dumped at Zanzibar estate in
Engashura area of Nakuru County
on Thursday morning.
Menengai Assistant Chief Titus
Mugo said the body was discovered
passers-by in the area.
Mugo said the bodys head was
swollen, an indication that the
deceased might have been hit with a
blunt object.
The deceased was discovered
by road users who informed local
administration and police of cers.
According to state of his body, he
might have been killed by criminals
and dumped in the area, said
Mugo.

Knuts Muranga South branch
has rubbished a proposal by the Min-
istry of Education to appoint second-
ary school heads as its agents.
Branch executive secretary Amos
Murigi said, school heads are over-
worked and require no additional
roles.
Addressing Muranga County
secondary school principals at Ke-
nol market, Murigi warned Educa-
tion Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kai-
menyi against trying to undermine
the Teachers Service Commission.
The Knut official urged school
heads to ignore the proposals, claim-
ing Kaimenyi was misled by errant of-
ficers in the ministry.
We cannot allow Prof Kaimenyi
to continue making irrelevant pro-
posals, said Murigi as the head
teachers cheered.
A project funded by the national
government to improve drainage and
lighting systems in several towns and
market centres in Kirinyaga County
is underway.
County deputy governor Julius
Njiiri said the Sh300 million project
will benefit Kerugoya, Kutus and Sa-
gana, where drainage systems are ei-
ther in poor state or non-existent.
Other than the three towns, we
have also included Kagio, Kagu-
mo, Kianyaga, Kimbimbi, Nguruba-
ni and Kiamutugu markets. The pro-
gramme will also see a total of 16.5
kilometres of roads in these facilities
tarmacked, he said.
Njiiri, who was addressing the
press at Kathoge market, also said
the area will benefit from high-mast
electric lighting system.
Residents of Kiplombe village,
Uasin Gishu County, are up in arms
against a chief and his assistant for
allegedly abetting illicit liquor brew-
ing and corruption.
The residents, who matched from
Tebeswet to Kiplombe chiefs camp,
expressed their disappointment over
the way the administrators were pro-
tecting alleged criminals, following
the death of a man after consuming
toxic alcohol.
The late Wilson Kosgei is alleged
to have fainted and started foaming
in the mouth after taking illicit brew.
He was later pronounced dead at Ka-
plelach health centre.
After Kosgeis death, the villagers
claimed the two failed to arrest the
culprit after allegedly taking bribes.
These men are supposed to ensure
the village is safe, not taking bribes,
charged an angry woman.
Relatives of an elderly man killed
five years ago in Bahati, Nakuru
County could not hold back tears
at the Nakuru High Court as the ac-
cused narrated how he killed the de-
ceased.
John Mwangi admitted before
Judge Roselyn Wendoh how he bru-
tally hacked and killed his brother
following a quarrel over family land
on August 20, 2009 at Kabati village.
I was angry. I had no intention of
killing him because he was my broth-
er, Mwangi said, adding that before
the unfortunate incident, they rarely
had any disagreements.
The court had earlier been told
by prosecution witnesses that the
two had been party to a protracted
land dispute, a year after their father
passed on. Hearing continues on No-
vember 12.
Administration Police officers in
Mbeere South sub-county yesterday
conducted a crackdown on irrespon-
sible parents and arrested two while
scores of others escaped.
Gikiiro chief Eston Ireri said they
swung into action after other parents,
who are members of the Nyumba Ku-
mi initiative, informed him that there
were children roaming the villages
and shopping centres during school
hours.
The first parent, Josphat Mwan-
iki, allegedly refused to take his six
children to school this term claim-
ing he does not have the money to
clear their fee balance.
The other parent, Ireri Kagai, said
his 17-year-old son refused to go to
school after being made to repeat
Class Six many times, and he opted
to give the boy part of his miraa farm.
The National Cereals and Pro-
duce Board (NCPB) has concluded
payments for farmers who delivered
maize in the last season to its various
depots across the country.
The board spent Sh3.44 billion to
purchase maize from farmers to re-
plenish the Strategic Grain Reserves.
Evans Wasike, NCPBs public rela-
tions manager, yesterday said Sh103
million was released last week to
clear payments for farmers who had
not received their dues for the sup-
plies.
The board has now paid for all
deliveries for the last season, said
Mr Wasike.
Kenya National Farmers Feder-
ation Uasin Gishu chairman Mu-
sa Barno said farmers had got their
dues.

catchment areas to improve its forest
cover.
This is partnership between the
International Union for Conservation of
Nature and the County Government to
promote bamboo farming, which face
extinction in the area.
County Executive Committee Member for

Morris Lokwaliwa said the county had
embarked on a sensitisation programme in
schools and villages to replace eucalyptus
with bamboo.
We have kicked of a vigorous campaign
to promote the growing of bamboo to

a ceremony held at the governors ofce in
Busia town. Angawa said the USAid funded
project was part of the Sh31 million fund to
benet a total of 20,000 such children in
the county.
He said the organisation had also rolled
out more funds to support teachers literacy
classes and help them take care of the
children.
County Chief of Staf Robert Papa
thanked the United States Government
for the support it was giving in providing
maternal care to the vulnerable children in
the county.
A lorry conductor who was involved in an
accident two years ago yesterday breathed
a sigh of relief when a magistrates court
in Kisumu awarded him general damages
amounting to Sh4 million.
In his judgment, Principal Magistrate
Ezekiel Obina said the amount would be
adequate to compensate Metisela Alukhabi
after he lost his leg and sustained several
fractures.
Alukhabi was awarded an additional
Sh14,000 for special damages.
This should take care of his future
medication, cost of an attendant, and
loss of earning capacity. He was a young
man in his mid-twenties and he sustained
several fractures. His right lower limb was
amputated and he cannot carry out his
normal chores, said the magistrate.

Property worth more than two million
shillings was on Wednesday evening
destroyed by a re that gutted down a
dormitory at Sipili Secondary School in
Laikipia County.
It is suspected the re was started by
some students who had been suspended for
indiscipline by the schools administration.
Following the incident, the school has been
closed down indenitely.
According to the principal, the incident
occurred as the school management
executive committee was in a closed-door
meeting discussing the conduct of three
suspended boys.
We suspect they sprinkled petrol on the
wooden dormitory before setting it ablaze
as other students continued with their
lessons, said the principal.
The County Government of Muranga
has been urged to identify areas that are
suitable for construction of dams.
A motion moved by Mr Samson Kago
(Mugoiri ward) recommended a study to
identify areas that can store water for
irrigation.
Kago observed that irrigation in the
lower Muranga area could increase food
production and create employment for
thousands of youths.
Assembly majority leader Peter Kihungi
supported the motion, arguing that
construction of dams was an idea borrowed
from the former opposition leader Kenneth
Matiba, who set a precedent in the form of
purchasing land in Maragua Ridge area for
irrigation purposes.
The county recently allocated Sh1.5
billion to irrigation projects.

Nairobi Governor Evans Kideros quest to be-
come the first chairman of the Political Parties Li-
aison Committee (PPLC) has received a boost af-
ter officials from 59 political parties endorsed his
candidature.
The Secretary Generals from the 59 political par-
ties, led by Ford Asilis Joe Kanguchu, have thrown
their weight behind Kidero, saying he was qualified
to lead the committee whose establishment has
been marred by fractious campaigns.
Our main mandate is to act as a watchdog over
the IEBC and ensure it does not operate outside the
law, said Kanguchu.
The post, which is viewed as highly influential, is
expected to be hotly contested, with elections ex-
pected in the next four weeks.
Governor Kidero will battle it out with TNA
Secretary General Onyango Oloo and former Jus-
tice Minister and New Ford Kenya leader Eugene
Wamalwa.
Kanguchu expressed optimism that once the of-
ficials of PPLC are in place, disputes emerging from
various political parties would be resolved amicably.
Pundits argue that Kidero is a favourite with
most political parties since he has managed to work
with Jubilee and at the same time remained loyal to
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
The PPLC is currently being constituted as cap-
tured in the Political Parties Act that requires the
formation of the committee to comprise three
stakeholders; IEBC, Political Parties and the Office
of the Registrar of Political Parties.

Hospital gets
Sh1b facelift
A five-storey building is be-
ing put up at Gatundu District
Hospital in Kiambu as part of
its Sh1 billion expansion plan.
Dr Andrew Toro, the hos-
pital superintendent, said
construction of the new hos-
pital block dubbed Gatundu
District Hospital Ultra Mod-
ern Medical Complex will be
completed by April next year.
BEST INFRASTRUCTURE
He said the project being
undertaken by Gouhe Con-
struction Company, a Chinese
company, will make the hospi-
tal be among few public hos-
pitals with the best infrastruc-
ture.
The building, upon com-
pletion, will host accident
and emergency wing on the
ground floor and outpatient
segment with rooms for CT
scan, X-ray, laboratory, phar-
macy and consultations.
The first floor will host a
maternity wing complete with
a theatre.
The second floor will host
two ultra-modern theatres and
an Intensive Care Unit, the on-
ly one in a public hospital in
Mount Kenya region.
The fourth floor will host
hospitals administration block
and a training hall with a ca-
pacity of 60 people while the
fifth floor will have equipment
such as oxygen compressors,
water purification machine,
generators and solar panels.
The building is designed
to ensure there is easy flow of
patients and staff and it will
go a long way in curbing con-
gestion which is an issue since
the hospital was constructed
in 1966 to serve a population
of 50,000 people, Dr Toro said.
The hospitals catchment
area has since expanded and
now serves Githunguri, Githu-
rai, Matuu and Flyover areas
which are estimated to have a
population of about one mil-
lion people.
Toro said the hospital had
laid out a master plan which
would see two more five-storey
buildings put up in two phases,
subject to financing.
One will host a psychother-
apy department, main labora-
tory, pharmacy, medical re-
cords unit and an additional 76
beds while the other will host
wards together with staff and
teaching unit.
NEW DESIGN
We found out that from
the existing design, we have
no space to develop the facil-
ity in terms of infrastructure
horizontally and so the only
option was to do it vertically,
Toro said.
The hospital was initiated
by the founding President Jo-
mo Kenyatta who hailed from
the neighbouring of Ichaweri
village, a project which was do-
ne through donations.

The Director of Public Prosecu-
tions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko has or-
dered investigations and further ac-
tion against police officers who were
involved in last Aprils execution of
five youths in Nyeri County.
Tobiko instructed the officer in
charge of prosecutions in Nyeri re-
gion, Mr Job Kaigai, to take action in
the matter and take into consider-
ation aspects that fall under the In-
dependent Police Oversight Authori-
ty (IPOA).
In a letter dated June 13, the Head
of Complaints and Compliments Unit
Mary Mwenje noted: I have instruc-
tions on behalf of the DPP to forward
the same to you for your action, as the
matter falls in your jurisdiction, even
as you consider which aspects will
need to be handled by IPOA.
The letter also directed Dr Peter
Kiama, the executive director of Inde-
pendent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU),
to follow up the matter with the Nyeri
County DPPs office.
The directive follows a letter dated
May 20, in which IMLU complained
to Tobiko over the extra-judicial kill-
ing of the five youth. We acknowl-
edge receipt of your letter dated May
20, 2014. Kindly follow up the matter
with our Nyeri County office. You may
also want to liaise with IPOA, it read
in part.
According to IMLUs complaint,
the youths were executed by regular
and Administration Police officers on
the night of April 16.
The bodies of the youth, among
them a woman, were on April 17 found
in Tagwa section of Mt Kenya forest,
in Kieni East Sub-County. Four bod-
ies of the male victims had gunshot
wounds and some with severed body
parts, while the womans was dangling
from a tree.
Witnesses said four male victims
were picked up by police in a Land
Rover at a bar in Ruringu area, before
they were taken to Nyeri Central Police
Station. The woman reportedly went
to the station to secure the release of
her boyfriend, who was among the
suspects, but her body was later found
in the forest.
But Nyeri County Police Com-
mander Agnes Lihabi and Nyeri Cen-
tral OCPD Adiel Nyange distanced
the police from the accusations, say-
ing none of the deceased was record-
ed in the Occurrence Book that night.

al Seth Panyako named North East-
ern Kenya among high risk zones,
saying criminals raided health cen-
tres and ordered medical workers to
hand them drugs and other hospital
supplies.
Panyako accused some govern-
ment officials of intimidating and
victimising health workers to do their
bidding.
He noted that medical staff were
not being awarded the dignity and
respect they deserved as they went
about their responsibility of restor-
ing health to the citizenry.
We have received reports of in-
creasing risk levels within our hos-
pitals. Criminals are marching into
health facilities in broad daylight with
weapons. They compel our health
workers to give them supplies, among
other threats, he said in Nandi.
BEATEN AND VICTIMISED
He cited areas where medics were
beaten and victimised by public ad-
ministration and county government
officials, including Vihiga and Bun-
goma County, saying a police officer
and chief, respectively, beat up health
workers within hospital premises.
We also have a report from Coast
General Hospital where a health
worker was beaten up by unknown
people, he said.
The Knun official said the union
was probing every incident with in-
Medics risk
lives over
insecurity
tent to press charges against the ac-
cused.
We are aware, however, that the
perpetrators have intimidated the
affected health workers into out-of-
court settlements, he said.
Pointing out Uasin-Gishu County
as leading in intimidation and victim-
isation of medics, Panyako said coun-
ty governments had failed to embrace
sobriety in handling issues of health
workers.
In Uasin-Gishu, the chief offi-
cer of health and county nurse have
colluded in intimidating nurses and
other health workers to sign illegal
contracts. Knun will push that the Ua-
sin-Gishu nurse be removed. We can-
not have a fellow nurse harassing her
colleagues, he said.
He commended Elgeyo-Marakwet,
Nyeri and Embu counties for efforts to
improve the welfare of medics.
Elgeyo-Marakwet County is the
pride of Knun. The county govern-
ment is making huge strides in ensur-
ing health workers, especially nurses,
have a good working environment.
The county recently employed all ESP
nurses on permanent contract, not-
ed Panyako.
He blamed most county govern-
ments for insubordinating the office
of county directors of health whom he
said had been rendered ineffective in
protecting nurses and other hospital
staff.
He said most health institutions
were operating under low medical
supplies and shortage of health work-
ers.
I call on the Government and the
Ministry of Health to provide protec-
tion to all health workers in a bid to
deter more risk situations from occur-
ring, he said.

The Kenya Medical Practitioners,
Pharmacists and Dentists Union
(KMPDU) has issued a stern warning
to the Nyeri County government over
the delay in remunerating 26 doctors.
Union Chairman Dr Victor Ngani
said four doctors had not been paid
since April and 22 others were yet to
receive their June salaries.
Nyeri County has been handling
the doctors posted in this county
poorly. It has come to our attention
that our members are suffering due to
poor management, Ngani said.
He noted the county needed 700
doctors, yet it had only 50 working
in its hospitals, saying the union had
met the Nyeri chief of staff.
But Nyeri Health Secretary Charles
Githinji clarified that 32 of the doc-
tors, pharmacists and dentists were
post-interns and were on the nation-
al governments payroll.
We have made plans to pay all
the arrears for the doctors and are
processing the payments manually
through the voucher system, he said.

The Auditor Generals re-
port on Muranga County
mostly blames the Transition
Authority (TA) for failure to
enforce a transparent and effi-
cient handover process of as-
sets and liabilities of the de-
funct local authorities.
By September 27, 2013, the
auditor reports that the coun-
ty government was yet to take
over fully from the former
councils, in breach of the tran-
sition guidelines.
The former local authori-
ties failed to close their bank
accounts and transfer funds
to the Muranga county gov-
ernments revenue account.
By June 30, some of those ac-
counts were still operational.
The county was accused of

failure to open a debtors led-
ger, poking holes in the debt of
Sh336.7 million inherited from
the former councils.
The report says Kenya Pow-
er wayleaves, sewerage line
lease fees and insurance claims
amounting to more than Sh18
million were not captured in
the above debt.
An inventory of assets of
the defunct councils cap-
tured in the County Govern-
ment Fixed Assets Register was
found incomplete and inaccu-
rate, meaning there was a re-
al risk of theft of public land,
vehicles, computers and other
equipment.
In an interesting observa-
tion, Maragua County Coun-
cil handed over nine vehicles
to the county government but
none was recorded in the Mu-
ranga County fixed assets reg-
ister.
The County Assembly is
accused of using quotations
rather than competitive open
tendering to award contracts,
including a Sh4.9 million con-
tract to repair the assembly

Small-scale tea farmers in
Muranga County have threat-
ened to start hawking their
green leaves to multination-
als, if the current poor pay is
not addressed.
During an informal tea
farmers meeting convened
by Kiharu MP Irungu Kangata
and Murarandia Ward Rep-
resentative Martin Mwangi
at Kahatia market, the farmers
claimed that a kilogramme of
tea at the Githambo tea facto-
ry gate is going for Sh400 while
the same is trading at Sh140 at
the Mombasa auction.
Mwangi said the poor pric-
es have been traced to the pay-
ment of salaries and allowanc-
es of employees engaged in 10
companies associated with the
Kenya Tea Development Au-
thority.
The farmers now want rele-
vant authorities to investigate
the cause of poor prices, say-
ing they were forced to enter
into contracts with the facto-
ry without being educated on
the same.
HURRIED MEETINGS
Some 100 farmers have al-
ready been blacklisted and
barred from delivering their
green leaves to the processing
factory. The irate farmers ac-
cused the factorys directors of
using the police to intimidate
them during hurried annual
general meetings.
Mwangi said assemblys ag-
riculture committee will inves-
tigate and address the plight of
the 100 blacklisted farmers.
The assembly is drafting
laws that will guide tea farm-
ing as agriculture is a devolved
function, said Mwangi.
The meeting comes a
month after directors of all 10
tea factories in Muranga op-
posed a Bill meant to restore
sanity in the lucrative sector.
The owner of a clinic in Nai-
robis Kayole estate in which a
two-week-old baby was be-
ing offered for sale was yes-
terday released on Sh10 mil-
lion bond and one surety.
This was after fresh child traf-
ficking and operating an un-
registered clinic charges were
leveled against her.
Sera Ambiyo was among six
suspects who were seized from
the clinic two weeks ago fol-
lowing claims from locals that
they were part of a child traf-
ficking syndicate.
Five other suspects Hel-
len Mutile Peter, Judy Wairimu
Ngigi, Dickson Maina Ngare,
Peninah Kerubo Anasi, and Lil-
ian Wanjiru were also released
on the same bond with an al-
ternative cash bail of Sh5 mil-
lion awaiting trial on Septem-
ber 7 after they denied trying to
sell the unknown female child
at the unregistered health fa-
cility in Soweto, Kayole.
Ambiyo also denied that on
April 3, she deceived one Mou-
rine Mwanahamisi that her
child had died during birth.
An undercover police offi-
cer posed as a customer and
was told to buy an infant at
Sh150,000, leading to the ar-
rest of the six.

no, who presented the amend-
ed charges, told the court that
police have completed investi-
gations and the prosecution is

Members of the County Assem-
blies (MCAs) have protested against
alleged attempts by the national gov-
ernment to trim their powers, saying
the move is intended to weaken devo-
lution.
They blame the move on Control-
ler of Budget (CoB) Agnes Odhiam-
bo and Salaries and Remuneration
Commission (SRC) chairperson Sar-
ah Serem.
National chairman of the Ward
Representatives Association of Ken-
ya (WRAK) Jabess Oduor warned that
MCAs would resist the move to ren-
der them powerless.
MCAs to discuss Serem and CoB
He was protesting at a recent re-
port by the COB that MCAs are spend-
ing too much on foreign trips, and
proposed that Treasury control coun-
ty budgets.
We are planning a meeting of all
MCAs in the country at the Bomas of
Kenya in the next three weeks to de-
fend our mandate, because we feel we
are under serious threat, Oduor said.
DISBAND SRC
He said speakers, governors, sena-
tors or MPs are not invited, since they
would spend the time discussing the
future of MCAs in the country.
In a statement, Oduor called for
the disbandment of the SRC, claim-
ing it was a duplication of the Public
Service Commission (PSC) and the
County Public Service Boards (CPSB).
SRC has only served to compli-
cate devolution in the country so we
call for its scrapping. It is a duplica-
tion of the PSC and the County Public
Service Boards, Oduor said.
WRAK also took issue with the
COB, claiming she was constantly
accusing counties of misusing funds
and yet she was responsible for ap-
Religious leaders from Ki-
tui County have been urged to
work closely with the county
government in order to change
peoples attitudes towards de-
velopment and spur their eco-
nomic growth.
Governor Julius Malombe
said all religious leaders have
a role to play in creating aware-
ness on what the county gov-
ernment is doing to change
their livelihood.
The clergy are well placed
to champion civic education
and awareness on what the
county government is doing
and what the people need to
do to change their lives, he
said.
Malombe said his admin-
istration has initiated many
projects in all areas of life with
a view of changing the social
and economic status of the
people of Kitui.
PRAYER BREAKFAST
We want to help our peo-
ple begin viewing themselves
differently and be capable of
overcoming challenges facing
them. We need religious lead-
ers to help us champion this
cause, the governor said.
The governor was speak-
ing at his office, when he re-
ceived church representatives
who paid him a courtesy call,
and he told the clerics that he
would like the county to have
a Prayer Breakfast Day.
The Kitui County Clergy
Fellowship caucus (KCCF) led
by Bishop Charles Kimolo said
they are ready and willing to
work with the county govern-
ment in propagating peaceful
co-existence, unity and dili-
gence in order to fast track the
countys development.
The Bishop hailed
Malombes development agen-
da that has been marked by
public participation.
A prominent politician
in Machakos County has ap-
peared in a Mavoko Court on
charges of forgery of land doc-
uments.
Franklin Makola, who
contested but lost the Kathi-
ani parliamentary seat in last
years General Election, was
charged alongside a senior
clerk at the Lands department
of Machakos County.
They both denied nine forg-
ery-related counts before Prin-
cipal Magistrate Teresa Odera.
The first charge stated that
on diverse dates between Oc-
tober 2, 2008 and August 8,
2013 at an unknown place
within the Republic of Kenya,
jointly with others not before
court, the two conspired with
intent to defraud Saminico Ltd
a total of 600 shares and Par-
cel Numbers Matungulu/Sen-
gani/3509 to 3672.
Saminico is a private com-
pany based in Tala that deals
in land and land-related in-
vestments.
CASH BAIL
Another charge stated that
on October 2, 2008 at the of-
fice of Registrar of Compa-
nies in Nairobi, with intent to
defraud and deceive, the two
forged an allotment of shares
form. They were each released
on a Sh200,000 cash bail.
The case will be heard on
September 23.
Governor turns to clerics for
support in creating awareness
Politician denies forgery charges
proving the budgets passed by
county assemblies.
Oduor said the COB ap-
proves funds budgeted for
MCAs trips, but later turns
around to accuse them of mis-
use of funds.
Budget making is a pro-
cess that involves approval by
the COB. All trips for county
assemblies are within the ap-
proved budgets. We are sur-
prised that the COB has been
accusing MCAs of misusing
funds on trips, Oduor said.
WRAK was reacting to pro-
posed stringent measures to
curb wasteful spending of pub-
lic funds in counties by Trea-
sury Cabinet secretary Henry
Rotich, who said the Financial
Management Bill was awaiting
Parliaments approval.
Controller of Budget

MCAs are misusing

Project to equip youth launched
Garissa County Government yes-
terday launched a technical project
to salvage tens of thousands of local
youth from shackles of runaway un-
employment, which has been driving
many into criminal activities and clan
conflicts.
Governor Nathif Jama said the
county has set aside Sh1.5 million in
this years budget to purchase eight
inter-locking brick making machines
which will be used to train more than
500 youth in specialised brick mold-
ing skills so as to make them self-re-
liant.
Speaking during the programmes
launch, governor Jama said youth
groups in the countys seven
sub-counties will undergo rigorous
training from experts trainers hired
from established brick making com-
panies in the country after which,
they will be given the brick making
equipment.
There are many idle youth in
our county who are talented and can
be equipped with hands-on practi-
cal skills to keep them occupied and
earning an honest living. We know
that idleness has caused youth to en-
gage in criminal activities and we now
want to train them and equip give
them with tools of the trade under the
Integrated Youth Economic Empow-
erment Programme, he said.
Jama said youth, who will bene-
fit the programme, will have a ready
market for their product since con-
tractors awarded tenders by the coun-
ty will be compelled to buy bricks, in-
terlocking tiles and culverts from the
local market.
Our contractors and those doing
construction work are forced to incur
a lot of expenses transporting bricks
from Thika, while the same product
can be made locally if youth are giv-
en the necessary skills, the governor
said.
He expressed optimism that the
programme will help address the
problem of youth unemployment
across the county once and for all.
TECHNICAL SKILLS
However, whether the youth, who
have already shunned a sponsored
technical training course at the lo-
cal technical centres, will take the of-
fer and view it as a possible employ-
ment venture is something that is yet
to be seen.
Governor Jama is on record re-
cently lamenting that, local Soma-
li youth have given a wide berth to
his attempts at entrenching a love for
technical know-how among the local
community.
He said its unfortunate that his
offer of unlimited scholarships to all
students undertaking any technical
training courses in any institution in
the country and abroad has been ig-
nored.
We are forced to hire workers
from outside the county for the most
basic jobs like plumbing and mason-
ry since our young people appear to
despise courses offering hands-on-
skills. Our youth shun these skills and
end up pursuing courses with no mar-
ket value in a bid to secure white col-
lar jobs, he said.
The innovative block making ini-
tiative is expected to create jobs for
at least 20-30 individuals who will be
hired in block production industries
GARISSA COUNTY
The Monday court order di-
recting Interior Cabinet Secre-
tary Joseph Ole Lenku to evict
some 120,000 squatters from
the controversial 940-acre
Waitiki farm in Likoni has
caught the National Land
Commission and Mombasa
County Government officials
by surprise.
NLC chairman Muhammed
Swazuri yesterday said he had
not seen the land owner, Evan-
son Kamau Waitiki, for some
time now and was surprised to
read about the fresh eviction
orders in the press this week.
I have not seen him for
sometime now. There were no
negotiations for his land going
on, Swazuri said.
And yesterday, Mombasa
County Executive Committee
member for Lands Francis
Thoya said negotiations were
on course.
The land owner met repre-
sentatives of Mombasa County
government, Lands Cabinet
Secretary Charity Ngilu and
Swazuri and negotiations are
going on, Thoya said yester-
day adding that Ms Ngilu was
heading the negotiations to re-
solve the long-standing dis-
pute.
Ngilu has since met squat-
ters in Likoni and told them to
stay put as Government was
sorting out the matter with Mr
Waitiki.
In the run up to the general
election, President Uhuru Ken-
yatta pledged to formally reset-
tle the squatters on the Waitiki
land once elected.
Minorities reject police hiring results
NLC, County surprised by court order
Minority tribes in Tana River County yester-
day held demonstrations in the streets of Hola
town demanding a repeat of Mondays police re-
cruitment in the area claiming it was marred
with corruption and nepotism.
Dozens of demonstrators marched in the
streets with placards and banners demanding
the removal of the county commissioner, coun-
ty police commandant and the three OCPDs in
Tana River County claiming they should be held
to account for the recruitment results.
The demonstrators, led by the chairman of
the Wardei Community Abdi Hassan, claimed
their tribe was discriminated against and that
applicants from the neighbouring North Eastern
region were recruited in Tana River County
through the influence of senior government of-
ficials.
Speaking to the press at Hola Stadium where
the demonstration ended yesterday, Mr Hassan
said majority of marginalised communities like
Wardei, Munyoyaya, Malakote and Watta were
largely left out while undeserving people were
recruited through family links and corruption.
CORRUPTION CLAIMS
He urged President Uhuru Kenyatta and In-
spector General of police David Kimaiyo to nul-
lify the county results and order a repeat of the
recruitment.
A candidate who was left out at the last min-
ute claimed she was rejected after failing to of-
fer over Ksh 200,000 bribe.
Tana River Deputy County Commissioner
Kipkorir Tangus, however, said the recruitment
exercise was done procedurally and no claims of
corruption were reported at the venue.
Already, the leaders have filed an injunction
at Mombasa High Court and are waiting for the
outcome.

as well as construction works.
The county government envisages
that since the brick making machine is
manually driven, can be operated by a
team of three people and does not re-
quire electricity, it will greatly contrib-
ute to rural development, youth em-
powerment, poverty alleviation and
provide employment opportunities.
The county public works sector
is also set to benefit since the brick
making machine is said to produce a
high quality, strong brick which can be
used in both low-cost housing and by
large-scale construction firms.
Also, during the training process,
unskilled individuals are taught valu-
able skills on the construction relat-
ed work that can be applied across di-
verse projects.

The County Government of Ho-
ma Bay County will spend Sh60 mil-
lion every financial year to pay fees for
needy students.
Governor Cyprian Awiti said the
county education kitty has been in-
creased from the proposed Sh40 mil-
lion after studies showed the number
of needy orphans and vulnerable chil-
dren in the county was increasing at
an alarming rate.
This means that each of the 40
wards will get Sh1.5 million from the
kitty.
We want to ensure all bright but
needy students go to school because
education is one of the pillars of our
economy, said Awiti.
The governor said although edu-
cation was not fully devolved, his gov-
ernment will do all it can to ensure ev-
ery child accesses education.
He was speaking in his office on
Wednesday when he received Sh25
million from a Non-Governmental
Organisation Aphia Plus, to help pay
fees for some 2,500 orphans and vul-
nerable children (OVC).
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Although the NGO is mainly in-
volved in health projects, it was also
assisting more than 46,000 orphans
in the county through communi-
ty-based organisations, under its
Corporate Social Responsibility pro-
gramme.
The organisations chief of party in
Kenya, Dr James Mukabi, said Aphia
Plus will also donate a speed boat to
help the county supervise all health
facilities in Lake Victoria Islands. The
speed boat will act as an ambulance
County to spend
Sh60m on bursaries
to help transfer patients to referral
hospitals on the mainland.
Aphia Plus will do what it can to
help Homa Bay access health facili-
ties. The speed boat is just part of our
intervention, said Dr Mukabi.
Deputy Governor Hamilton Ora-
ta asked other NGOs working in Ho-
ma Bay to supplement the countys
efforts in addressing the socio-eco-
nomic problems facing the locals.
Awiti said he has established a new
office to coordinate the work of NGOs
and mobilise the diaspora communi-
ty to invest in Homa Bay.
The work of this new office is to
help us map and identify all NGOs
working in the county. We dont want
to control the NGOs, but to know
what each one of them is doing, so
that we can coordinate results, said
Awiti.
He said Unicef had trained more
than 4,000 community health workers
to help implement his governments
health goals.

The 68-year-old man who
collapsed and died in Nyamira
County during the Kenya Po-
lice Service recruitment had a
heart condition and was dia-
betic, his family has said.
But they said they could
not determine whether it was
diabetes or the heart condi-
tion that killed him.
Speaking to The Standard,
the family dismissed claims
that Charles Kamemba died of
shock when his daughter was
denied a chance to join the po-
lice service.
DELIVERED CERTIFICATE
They denied allegations
that Kamemba had paid a
bribe of Sh300,000 as report-
ed by a local newspaper. Po-
lice officers visited the fam-
ily to investigate the bribery
claims that would potentially
ruin the credibility of the re-
cruitment exercise.
Lilian Kamemba, who
is daughter to the de-
ceased, said the family is
dismayed by reports car-
ried by the local newspa-
per on Wednesday.
My dad was called by my
elder brother to take a certifi-
cate they had forgotten at home
to the Nyamira North Sub
County headquarters. When he
reached there, he delivered the
certificate to my brother and
walked away to catch a motor-
bike back home. That is when
he collapsed, narrated Lilian.
She said her sister was a
candidate during the recruit-
ment but did not know what
had transpired until when she
returned home late at the night
after learning that her bid to
join the police service was not
successful.
My father died at around
11am and by this time, the re-
cruitment exercise was still
ongoing. The officers were on
with verification of documents
that job seekers presented. It is
therefore not possible that my
father could predict that my sis-
ter would fail six hours before
the exercise was concluded,
she said.
After collapsing, Mr
Kamemba was rushed to
Ekerenyo Sub District Hospital
which is 50 metres away, where
he was pronounced dead.
RELEASED RESULTS
According to a medical re-
port seen by The Standard,
Kamemba was certified as dead
at 11.30am.
Government authorities
have also dismissed claims that
the man died of shock linked to
the verdict of the recruitment
exercise.
Nyamira North Deputy
County Commissioner Thom-
as Sakah said the medical re-
port indicates the late Kemem-
ba had diabetes and the sugar
levels were very high at the time
of his death.
I wish to clarify that by the
time the man died, recruit-
ment was still ongoing.We had
not released the results, ex-
plained Sakah.
Man didnt die of shock from police
recruitment results, family says

Members of the Kakamega Coun-
ty Assembly have raised concern over
the just concluded National Police
Service recruitment exercise, saying
it was flawed.
They have petitioned National Po-
lice service commission (NPSC) chair-
man Johnstone Kavuludi, seeking to
have the whole process repeated in
disputed regions.
We have petitioned the chairman
of NPSC to have the exercise repeated
in this county due to irregularities. But
even if its not repeated, going forward
future exercises should be transpar-
ent, according all participants equal
opportunity, said Kakamega County
speaker Morris Buluma.
Rising on matters of county impor-
tance, West Kabras Ward County Rep-
resentative Edward Indimuli said the
process was marred with irregulari-
ties, corruption and favouritism and
cannot stand the test of transparency
and impartiality.
Apart from Khwisero and some
parts of Lurambi, the recruitment ex-
ercise in the remaining sub-counties
was just a formality, said Indimuli.
NEW DIRECTIVE
He singled out Malava where the
process was marred with violence as
residents demonstrated over nep-
otism, corruption and tribalism.
He said there was a suspicious list with
names of 12 candidates from margin-
alised communities which led to pro-
tests and accusations of favouritism
from residents and candidates alike.
In Kakamega North, there were 21
slots up for grabs, but 17 slots had al-
legedly already been filled before the
recruitment even started. This creat-
ed tension as residents nearly lynched
the deputy county commissioner, and
he had to flee for his life. There are no
marginalised communities in Mala-
va, said Indimuli.
Gideon Mbongi, the chair of the re-
cruitment board in Malava sub-coun-
ty, admitted that he had the contro-
versial list and faulted the county
administration for interfering with
Kavuludi with IG David Kimaiyo
Bungoma County Assembly members in session yesterday where they adopted
a report by the Assemblys public administration committee that recommend-
ed disbandment of the County Public Service Board over gross misconduct in
appointment of county workers. [PHOTOS: TITUS OTEBA/STANDARD]
Bungoma County assembly yester-
day passed a motion to disband the
County Public Service Board (CPSB)
for failing to adhere to its mandate
and disregarding Chapter Four of the
Constitution 2010.
The report presented by commit-
tee on public administration chair-
man, Edward Barasa (Musikoma Ward
MCA), recommended that the board
be disbanded for practising nepotism,
favouritism, tribalism and failing to
observe the gender and people with
disabilities rule in its appointments.
It said the CPSB did not observe
inclusion of all tribes, especially in
Mt Elgon sub-County where all six
ward administrators, who are from
the Sabaot ethnic community, end-
ed up segregating the minority Iteso
and Bukusus.
The CPSB has been conducting
County public service board disbanded
its affairs in a manner contrary to the
objectives of devolution as stipulated
in article 174 (b) of the constitution
by failing to observe ethnic diversity,
protection and promotion of the in-
terests of minorities and marginalised
people, the report said.
STORMY SESSION
The report recommended that the
five board members including Gideon
Boiyo (chairman), Elizabeth Wanyo-
nyi (secretary), members Peter Kha-
kina, Janet Manyasi and Rev Peter
Masengeli be sent home by the coun-
ty assembly and a fresh appointment
done by the governor.
The report will now be forwarded
to county governor Kenneth Lusaka
for his approval or rejection.
The motion elicited heated debate
at the House with some MCAs reading
mischief in the move.
Majority leader, Majimbo Okumu
said he supports the report and gov-
ernor Lusaka ought to approve it since
it has shown that board members did
not follow laid-down regulations in
making appointments.
Minority leader John Musakali dis-
mised the petitioners as having a hid-
den agenda and are on a witch-hunt
mission. Several MCAs, from Mt Elgon
sub-county said the move was target-
ed at discrediting the boards chair-
man who hails from the Sabaot eth-
nic group and their sentiments were
echoed by leaders outside the House.
Former Mt Elgon MP Fred Ka-
pondi said MCAs are disbanding the
board to get rid of Boiyo who they
have not been comfortable with. Sad-
dy Chesori, a youth leader from Chep-
tais where the board chair comes from
said the boards disbandment may ig-
nite violence. Even if the entire board
goes home, the Sabaot must bag the
chairs position, he said.
County411, a social media forum,
championed the collection of signa-
tures across the county that sought
disbandment of the board.

People seeking employment
in Kisumu County have reason to
smile after a motion reducing years
requiredof experience was adopted
by the county assembly.
Prior to the motion, the Kisumu
County Public Service Board (KCPSB)
normally required those seeking
employment in the county to have at
least ve years of experience.
Now KCPSB will only require a two-
year experience after the county
assembly adopted a bill.
While tabling the motion, nominated
Member of County Assembly
(MCA) Eunice Miruka pointed out
that many youths miss out on
employment opportunities due to
lack experience.
Many of our youths are sufering.
Five years of experience demanded
is not realisable, said Miruka.
Musingu High School, a former
academic and football giant in
Kakamega County, is grappling
with old, rusty and dilapidated
infrastructure.
The facilities, which were put up in
1964 when the school was initiated,
are in a deplorable condition
as classrooms, dormitories,
laboratories and washrooms are
leaking and unsuitable for use.
With a population of 1,129 students,
the school has two functional
dormitories and four operational
washrooms, a situation parents
describe as a health hazard for
students.
Imagine all these students sharing
only four toilets and bathrooms.
These people are courting danger,

Leaders speak on
Obados victory
Leaders in Migori Coun-
ty have called for unity and
inclusiveness in the Govern-
ment after Supreme Court re-
instated Governor Okoth Oba-
do yesterday.
Speaking to The Standard
on telephone, several lead-
ers called on residents to ac-
cept the decision and move
on, while urging the Governor
to work with all county leaders
irrespective of their stance.
The Supreme Court has
given its verdict and it is time
for the county to move for-
ward. We now must ensure
there is development, and
that residents enjoy better ser-
vices, said Suna West MP Jo-
seph Ndiege.
At the same time, Ndiege
called on Obado to work close-
ly with all legislators in Migori
without looking at political af-
filiations.
He said all elected leaders
spect the courts verdict, Gha-
ti said.
Yesterday, Supreme Court
judges faulted the Appellate
Court for failing to consider
material facts in the petition
and overstepping its mandate
in reviewing new evidence.
On his part, Obado wel-
comed the ruling and said
he was focused on develop-
ing Migori County and called
on his opponents to bring
forth ideas to help develop the
county.
Let us put aside our differ-
ences and join hands to devel-
op the county. What the resi-
dents need is development, so
we should not deny them this,
he said.
Meanwhile, scrutiny of the
Auditor Generals report by
Migori County Assembly over
Sh4.8 million illegally paid to
its Ward Representatives may
take longer than expected, ac-
cording to the assemblys in-
vestigating committee.
The Public Finance and In-
vestments Committee of the
assembly has been trying to
understand the details of the
report, released in February by
the State Auditor on accounts
of Migori County Government.
It was reported that the
MCAs received a total of Sh4.8
million in allowances while at
the seminar, while they claim
they were on full-board ac-
commodation that costed the
taxpayer Sh3.3 million.
The report also show that
the former Awendo town
council had the highest num-
ber of creditors, with balances
amounting to Sh171 million.
In its ruling, Supreme Court faulted the Appellate Court
for failing to consider material facts in the petition, and
overstepping its mandate in reviewing new evidence

in the county were willing to
work with the governor to en-
sure the residents living stan-
dards are improved.
AUDITORS REPORT
Woman Representative
Dennitah Ghati also urged the
county residents to put aside
differences that might have
been caused by the court case
for the sake of development.
We need to work together
for the benefit of the county.

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS)
in collaboration with the Ministry of Health,
other Government Agencies and a number of
development partners is conducting the 2014
Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (2014
KDHS) from May to October, 2014. The 2014
KDHS is the 6
th
of the DHS series in Kenya. The
previous ones were conducted in 1989, 1993,
1998, 2003 and 2008/09. Demographic and
Health Surveys (DHS) are household-based
surveys that have been conducted in several
countries worldwide since 1984.
The main objective of the 2014 KDHS is to
provide up-to-date information for policy
makers, planners, and researchers and
programme managers to guide the planning,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of
population and health programmes in Kenya.
The specific objectives of the 2014 Kenya
Demographic and Health Survey are:-
a) Provide data at national, rural, urban
and county levels that will allow for
derivation of demographic and health
indicators particularly on fertility,
childhood mortality, Malaria, family
planning, maternal and child health
necessary for evaluating current national
health policies,
b) Collect data on fertility levels and
preferences, marriage and sexual
activity,
c) Provide data on knowledge and use of
family planning methods among the
Kenyan population,
d) Collect information on breastfeeding,
nutritional status of women and young
children and child and maternal health;
e) Estimate infant, child and under five
mortality levels both at the national and
county levels,
f) Estimate adult and maternal mortality
ratios at national level,
g) Provide estimates on knowledge,
attitude and behaviour on the HIV/AIDs
and other sexually transmitted diseases,
h) Collect information on malaria and
use of mosquito nets, fistula, non
communicable diseases and domestic
violence.
The 2014 KDHS data will be useful in many
ways, including the monitoring of the countrys
achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs numbers 4, 5 and 6); and health
programmes within the Vision 2030. It is the first
survey of its kind in Kenya that will provide some
county level demographic and health indicators
for better planning and benchmarking.
The survey covers 1,612 clusters (data collection
areas/villages) and 25 households are selected
from each cluster, giving a total coverage of
40,300 households to be realized by the end of
the survey period. In each sampled household,
women age 15- 49 years and men age 15 - 54
are being interviewed while heights and weights
for children under age 6 and women age 15-49
years are measured to assess their nutritional
and health status. Salt testing for the presence
of iodine is also being undertaken at the
household level. The information provided to
KNBS officers will be treated with confidentiality
as guaranteed by the Statistics Act, 2006. It is
important to participate by giving information
to the field data collection personnel sent by
KNBS.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics therefore
appeals to all Kenyans who are selected for these
interviews to provide the required information
for better provision of services through evidence-
based planning and policy formulation.

She escaped murder
three times to become
peace ambassador
When life gave Christine Natuch
a lemon, she decided to make lem-
onade.
Natuch, a resident of West Pokot
County, has thwarted three murder
attempts by her father. And with her
physical disability, she has risen to be-
come a peace champion and promis-
ing gospel artiste.
The 26-year-old has defied all
odds to become one of the most vo-
cal peace promoters in the perennial
ethnic conflicts between the Turkana
and her Pokot communities and has
as well been empowering the physi-
cally challenged to stand firm for their
rights.
When she was only five, her father
attempted to strangle her after realis-
ing she had contracted polio, which
paralysed her body from the waist
downwards denying her the oppor-
tunity to walk.
He told my mother before kicking
us out of his home, that I was a liabil-
ity and would not bring him wealth
through dowry because I was crip-
pled, says Natuch.
It is after reality hit the father that
her daughter will always depend on
walking support that he disowned her
and divorced the mother, for siring a
crippled child that did not want to be
associated with.
CATTLE RUSTLING
To add salt to injury, her father,
who was a renowned cattle rustler,
tracked her to their new settlement
along the Pokot-Uganda border and
attempted to kill her in front of her
mother. Luckily, the gun technical-
ly jammed, saving her from the be-
ing killed.
She currently has over 50 unre-
corded songs in her black note book
which she composed while in prima-
ry school. The theme of all the songs
lean heavily on the need for society
to maintain peaceful coexistence and
shun cattle rustling.
Natuchs undying spirit, has
proved her critics wrong and she has
lived the adage that disability is not
a inability.
She says she got inspired to com-
pose songs by the dreadful lifestyle
that her father lived as a renowned
kingpin of cattle rustling in his com-
munity.
He was feared by both communi-
ties due for his expertise in cattle rus-
tling and his heinous acts saw him de-
tested and loved in equal measure,
she says of her now deceased father.
Natuchs immobility was a great
concern to her mother because she
was not able to access education like
other children of her age.
Natuch, however, caught the at-
tention of two American nationals
who had visited the region and came
to her rescue by taking her to Kijabe
Mission hospital for specialised treat-
ment.
When Harry and his wife came to
the region, they brought a ray of hope
to my life as they took me to hospital,
settled my operation bills and fixed
steel bars around my legs in order to
assist my mobility, she says.
ADVANCE EDUCATION
She says her experience with other
patients changed her perception to-
wards people living with disability in
the society.
My stay at Kijabe opened my eyes
to realise that there are a number of
people that have more challenging
disabilities than mine and are living
a positive life, she says.
Natuch enrolled at Kameri Prima-
ry School and later Kampala Talents
College, Mukono for her O levels in
2006. She has advance her eduction
because of lack of fees.

THE CORNER STONE
Residents up
in arms over
accidents
TRANS NZOIA COUNTY
y B ANTONY GITONGA
Residents of Kinungi trading cen-
tre along the Nairobi-Nakuru high-
way have threatened to block the busy
road using coffins due to increased
accidents at the black spot.
The irate residents said the move
is meant to compel the Government
to either erect bumps or a fly-over at
the centre which is 15kilometres from
Naivasha town.
Local leader James Kabono said
there are at least two accidents on
that section of the road every fort-
night, one being fatal.
SHED TEARS
We have shed enough tears over
the number of lives lost at this stop
and the only solution now is to block
the road so that the government can
act, he said.
Kabono said they have for years
visited various government offices
seeking assistance but their efforts
have borne no fruit.
We first raised the issue with for-
mer President Mois and then Kibakis
government yet years down the line
we are still suffering, he said.
Area MP John Kihagi said plans are
underway to erect foot bridges so as
to reduce the number deaths.
Three orphans have revealed be-
fore the High Court in Nakuru an al-
leged scheme by an Insurance firm to
dispose of their parents property be-
low the market price.
Through their advocate, they in-
formed the court a potential purchas-
er sourced by auctioneer has already
set the price at Sh23 million on con-
dition that the premises the auction-
eer is occupying in the same property
is reserved for him by the purchaser.
Henry Kimutai informed Justice
Abigael Mshila that Evans Osoro the
proprietor of Weskem Auctioneers
served them and a tenant with the
sale notice.
The auctioneer has refused to pay
rent or vacate the premises, we have
already filed a suit at the High Court
seeking orders to evict him and recov-
er rent arrears, said Kimutai in his af-
fidavit.
SUIT PROPERTY
Mr Kimutai has filed a copy of the
current valuation report which indi-
cates the suit property is valued at
Sh74.5 million insisting the defen-
dant and the auctioneers firm intend
to sale the property at a gross under-
valued price.
This was in civil suit in which their
late father Jeremiah Cheruiyot had
secured a loan of Sh2.5 million from
Kenindia Assurance Ltd to purchase
a fully developed property compris-
ing four maisonettes for over Sh25
million from Nakuru Municipality.

NAKURU COUNTY In May 1991, Mr Cheruiyot approached
Kenindia Assurance and he was grant-
ed a loan of Sh2.5 million. There is an
accrued interest that was charged at
the rate of 20 per cent per annum.
At the time of his death, the deceased
had already paid a total of Sh1.2 million.
However, after he died, his wife Phyl-
lis Jerotich Kimutai who is now a de-
ceased, moved to court alongside her
son, Kimutai saying the defendant
unilaterally and unlawfully varied
upwards the rates of interest without
registering an instrument of variation
in contravention of section 71 of the
registered land Act.
MUST PAY
The amount accruing as a direct
consequence of these variations are
not recoverable and and not part of
the charge. The defendant will contin-
ue to insist on their payment unless
the court intervenes, they argued.
Their advocate, SK Bundotich told
the court to issue a temporary order
restraining the defendant from adver-
tising for sale or selling the property
pending inter-partes hearing of the
application.
Justice Mshila issued orders re-
straining the defendant from inter-
fering with the property until Septem-
ber 15 when she is expected to make
a ruling.
In July 2012, Justice Roslyn Wen-
doh issued orders directing the appli-
cants to deposit Sh4 million in a joint
Interestingly, lawyers for both sides
failed to appear in court forcing their
clients to settle on other law firms.
The court will rule on the matter on

Two Members of Parliament from
Trans-Nzoia have launched peace
campaigns to promote harmonious
co-existence among communities in
the county.
The MPs, David Lazaro (Saboti)
and woman rep Janet Nangabo said
they will move across the cosmopol-
itan county to enlighten the commu-
nities on the importance of peace.
The move comes in the wake of
reports that the Sabaot Land Defence
Forces is regrouping in the neigh-
bouring Mt Elgon district.
Speaking at Mitume Catho-
lic Church parish in Kitale, the MPs
urged the communities to continue
living in harmony and expose sus-
pected criminals among them.
EQUAL RESOURCES
Trans-Nzoia is the face of Kenya.
Let us shun those who try to promote
hatred for political reasons. We will
only achieve our goals when there is
peace, urged Lazaro.
Nangabo asked women from all
communities to join hands and artic-
ulate their rights, since women are the
most vulnerable during war.
The State should ensure equita-
ble distribution of resources to pro-
mote peace, said Nangabo.

Nandi County Government has
launched an ambitious Sh800 million
water project to ensure piped water in
all households by 2017.
The County Government has al-
ready spent Sh150million in the proj-
ect last financial year and has bud-
geted another Sh140million in the
2014- 2015 budget.
Speaking after signing a Memo-
randum of Understanding (MOU)
between Stitching Netherlands De-
velopment Organisation (SNV) and
the Nandi Health and Sanitation Ser-
vices, Nandi County governor Cleop-
as Lagat said his intention is to ensure
piped water throughout the county in
three years.
Under the MOU, the Netherlands
organisation will provide capacity
building services on agriculture and
renewable energy.

The ceremony was followed by
the unveiling of Kapsabet Nandi Wa-
ter Services Company, which will be
charged with water supply. The com-
pany takes over from the now defunct
Kapsabet and Nandi-Hills water ser-
vices companies.
The Netherlands company will
provide expertise on the latest wa-
ter provision methods. The company
will further identify new, viable water
sources in the county to ensure provi-
sion of water to 80 per cent of house-
holds in the county by 2017.
SNV will also source for more
funds from other partners to ensure
completion of water projects in time.
Addressing residents after signing
the MOU in Kapsabet town, Lagat said
the strategy to provide water was un-
dertaken to enhance the agricultural
economy of Nandi.
Provision of reliable, affordable
and sustainable water remains at the
top of my ounty governments pri-
orities. We are convinced that it will
change the fortunes of our people,

Conservationists have asked the
County Government of Narok to con-
trol cattle grazing at the Masai Mara
Game Reserve.
Speaking at a Wildlife Conserva-
tion and Management forum held at
Narok Hotel yesterday, the conser-
vationists said the activity has led to
disappearance of some wildlife spe-
cies and also fuelled human-wildlife
conflict.
The county should discourage
grazing inside and outside the park.
This activity has over the years led to
movement of wildlife species from the
reserve to the neighbouring Serengeti
National Park in Tanzania, said Nich-
olas Murero, chairman of the Narok
County Wildlife Forum.
Murero said the herders should be
assisted to form conservancies in or-
der to benefit from wildlife conser-
vation instead of livestock keeping
which is not sustainable.
He said more needs to be done
since imposing heavy fines does not
seem to deter illegal grazing, which
has made cheetahs, leopards, hunting
dogs and other wildlife species decline
significantly.
HABITAT INTERFERENCE
Grazing causes livestock to ven-
ture into the wildlife habitats and
breeding grounds and this interferes
with their ecosystem. If the situation is
not arrested soon, tourism activities in
the famed reserve will collapse, deal-
ing a blow to the local and national
economy, Murero said.
Sammy Nkoitoi, an official with
Masai Mara conservancies associa-
tion said the cattle are competing for
grass and other vegetation with wild
animals, warning that grass decline
will force thousands of wildebeests,
currently migrating from Serengeti
plains to Mara, to return.
Wildebeests are crossing from
northern Serengeti to Mara to graze
before going back in October to calve.
The dwindling grass cover might force
them back early, which will severe-
ly disrupt the tourism peak season,
he said.
Nkoitoi said the Government
ought to emulate Tanzanian authori-
ties who have outlawed grazing, farm-
ing and other human activities within
close proximity to Serengeti Nation-
al Park, a move that has ensured the
wildlife species continued survival.

Mandago has turned the heat on the
Transitional Authority over the re-
cently released audit report that puts
them on the spot for misappropria-
tion of funds through irregular pay-
ments.
Mandago blamed the exercise on
an official seconded by the Transition-
al Authority (TA) in reference to pay-
ments made by the county amount-
ing to Sh37 million for the supply of
furniture, computers and hardware
materials.
He maintained that the procure-
ment was conducted soon after they
assumed office in 2013 and the key
staff overseeing the process were sec-
onded by TA.
I am aware of the payment of
Sh37 million and the auditors are
aware that we recommended disci-
plinary action against the employee
soon after we took office. It is now up
to TA to explain whether any neces-
sary steps were taken, he said.
OPEN ACCOUNTS
The county has been indicted over
payments totalling Sh37m irregularly
made in advance for the supply of fur-
niture, computer and hardware ma-
terials that had not been delivered in
line with the Government financial
regulation procedures.
An additional Sh3 million was
made to a construction company
in respect of fencing a public utili-
ty at Kapsoya, in advance and with-
out proof of Bills of Quantities or con-
tract yet at the time of audit, in August

2013, the fencing had not been done.
The auditor revealed that the
county government, as of August
2013, had not closed 13 bank ac-
counts operated by the defunct mu-
nicipal council of Eldoret.
Transitional Authority had pro-
vided a timeline of February 28, 2013
for the accounts to be closed but, the
auditor noted, the accounts contin-
ued to be operated even at the time
of the audit review with no reason for
non-compliance
ILLICIT BREWS
The report details that funds
amounting to Sh23, 047, 391.00 for the
period of January to June 2013 was not
banked intact as required by Section
6.8 of the Government financial reg-
ulations.
Mandago argues that the his gov-
ernment was not the problem but TA
officers which the county replaced.
He said his government had op-
erated above board and the Auditor
Generals report should been clear as
to who was responsible.
The Auditor Generals report
should be more detailed show-
ing whose office was responsible. It
would have been clear in the report
that it was officers of the national
government that messed. The report
needs to be thorough so that we do
not have people blaming us unneces-
sarily for other peoples wrongdoing,
said Mandago.
Meanwhile, residents of Kiplombe
Village in Uasin Gishu County have
protested over alleged shielding of
illicit brewers and corruption by the
national government administration
officers.
The enraged locals expressed their
rived at the house of a local brew-
er in the region, where he consumed
changaa. He later fainted and started
foaming in the mouth.
The brewer reportedly rushed
him back to his house and told Kos-
geis wife that he was a good Samar-
itan who found him on the way and
brought him home.
Kosgeis wife rushed him to Kaple-
lach health centre, about 2km from
their home, but was pronounced dead
on arrival.
He was later transferred to the Moi
Teaching and Referral Hospital mor-
tuary. A post-mortem to establish the
real cause of death is yet to be done.
According to the residents, the ar-
ea chief and his assistant were con-
tacted after the man was confirmed
dead. They, however, took time and
only reported the matter to the po-
lice the following morning.
By the time police officers got to
the suspects home, he had already

The protests were sparked off by

KISUMU COUNTY
y B SILAH KOSKEI
Two suspected poachers were yes-
terday nabbed by police with 203kg of
game meat and 16kg of tripe in Kaji-
ado town.
Kenya Wildlife Services officers in
collaboration with regular police, act-
ing on a tip off, intercepted a Toyota
Probox along Isinya-Kiserian road.
The meat was packed in plastic bags
stashed in the car.
Upon interrogation, the suspect-
ed poachers, who are brothers from
Sholinke, in Kitengela, revealed they
usually collude with other poachers
who sell them the meat at Sh40 per ki-
logramme. They in turn sell the meat
at Sh400 per kilogramme at Nairobis
Burma market.
KWS Director Southern Conserva-
tion area Julius Cheptei condemned
the incident and warned poach-
ers that they would face the music if
caught.
We have since discovered that
poachers are killing the least expect-
ed animals like wildebeests, which
they mix with beef. It seems there is a
ready market for game meat, encour-
aging poachers to continue with the
vice, warned Cheptei.
Wildebeests mix and graze freely
with cattle in Kajiado County.
A carcass of a female elephant with
the tusk missing was yesterday dis-
covered in Rimoi National Reserve in
Elgeyo Marakwet County.
The carcass of the elephant, which
was still fresh is suspected to have
been killed by poachers on Monday.
Confirming the incident, the re-
gions Kenya Wildlife Srevice Deputy
Director John Ngalia said his officers
stumbled on the carcass of the ele-
phant that had no tusks.
The suspected poachers used a
spear to kill the female elephant by
striking it on the back. It is unfortu-
nate that the poachers struck at a time
the country wad put hope on conser-
vancies to save the remaining ele-
phants, he said.
He said the game reserve was a

At least 14 Tunisian troops were
killed when gunmen attacked check-
points in the remote Chaambi
mountains, the deadliest militant
strike on the North African countrys
armed forces.
Since April, thousands of Tuni-
sian soldiers have been deployed to
the Chaambi range bordering Algeria
in an operation to flush out Al Qae-
da-linked militants seeking refuge
there, some since fleeing French in-
tervention in Mali last year.
During the attack on Wednesday
night, militants with rocket-pro-
pelled grenades and rifles ambushed
checkpoints the military had set up
to try to control the Chaambi region.
POROUS BORDER
The gunmen attacked as the sol-
diers were breaking their fast for the
evening during the Muslim holy
month of Ramadan, the Defence
Ministry said. More than 20 soldiers
were wounded.
Tunisia has struggled with the rise
of radical Islamist militants since the
2011 popular revolt ended the rule of
autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and
began its fragile steps towards de-
mocracy.

its North Africa branch, has claimed
attacks in Tunisia in the past, but an-
other militant group, Ansar al Sharia,
which is listed as a terrorist organi-
sation by Washington, has also been
blamed.
The mountain range is tough ter-
rain with access into Algeria. Tuni-
sian forces conducted several raids
there and have bombarded caves af-
ter eight soldiers were captured and
killed last year.
Algerias military, experienced in
battling its own Islamist militancy,
have been coordinating on their side
of the frontier, and sharing intelli-
gence. But despite their large pres-
ence, Tunisian troops have been har-
ried by improvised landmines and
the porous border complicates
tracking militants who use the area
as a training ground.
One of the Arab worlds most sec-
ular states, Tunisia has taken steps
towards democracy since the 2011
revolt. It adopted a new constitution
and allowed a caretaker government
to take over until elections this year
as a way to ease tensions between a
leading Islamist party and secular
opponents.
But hardline ultra-conservative
Islamists are still influential, and Tu-
nisia is one of the main sources of
jihadist fighters travelling from
North Africa to fight with Islamist
groups in Syria and Iraq.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jon-
athan on Wednesday sought approv-
al from parliament to borrow up to
$1 billion abroad to help the armed
forces tackle the security threat
posed by the Islamist insurgent
group Boko Haram.
Jonathan, facing intense criticism
at home and overseas for his govern-
ments failure to curb a spreading
campaign of violence by the Islamist
militants, made the request in a let-
ter read to Nigerias Senate and
House of Representatives.
His government is accused by
critics of not doing enough to protect
civilians in Africas biggest economy
and oil producer from Boko Haram,
which has killed thousands and ab-
ducted hundreds since launching an
uprising in the northeast in 2009.
You are no doubt cognisant of
the ongoing and serious security
challenges which the nation is facing
as typified by the Boko-Haram ter-
rorist threat, Jonathan said in the
request read to deputies by the lead-
ers of the Senate and House.
RAISE QUESTIONS
For this reason, I seek the con-
currence of the National Assembly
for external borrowing of not more
than $1 billion, the president said,
adding this would be used to up-
grade the equipment, training and
logistics of the security forces.
Nigerias parliament was expect-
ed to debate the borrowing request
at a time when international atten-
tion on the Boko Haram insurgency
has increased since the abduction by
its militants in mid-April of more
than 200 schoolgirls.
They remain missing.
Jonathans letter said the upgrade
for the security services could in-
clude a government to government
arrangement but did not name any
specific foreign country.
His request was expected to raise
some questions, as Nigerias 2014
budget already provides for nearly $6
billion in security spending. The gov-
ernment has also faced allegations
by a former central bank governor,
Lamido Sanusi, that billions of dol-
lars of oil revenues failed to reach the
national treasury.
Nigerias military has started re-
ceiving training, advice and intelli-
gence support from allies such as the
United States, Britain, France and Is-
rael.

France and Mali signed a new de-
fence pact on Wednesday. The agree-
ment will let Paris maintain its
prominent role in the former colony
whose desert north was occupied by
Al Qaeda-linked rebels until they
were defeated by French troops.
France has sought to wind down
direct involvement in former colo-
nies in Africa, where troops fre-
quently intervened during the de-
cades after independence. But weak
local armies, the Islamist threat and
a series of political crises and rebel-
lions have led to major French inter-
ventions in recent years.
The new pact, a defence cooper-
ation treaty that replaces a 1985
agreement, outlines the framework
for French intelligence sharing,
training and equipping of Malian
troops.
French troops still tracking down
Islamists in Mali are operating under
a separate operational agreement
signed last year, but the new deal en-
sures long-term military ties be-
tween the two nations.
Last year, France dispatched war
planes and thousands of troops to
beat back an advance by Islamist
fighters who took advantage of a
coup in the capital and a rebellion.

Goodluck wants $1b loan to help ght Boko Haram Mali and France governments
sign new defence agreement
A clear majority of French centre-
right voters want former president
Nicolas Sarkozy to seek re-election
in 2017 and his support has grown
despite legal troubles facing him and
his party, an opinion survey showed.
The Ifop poll published by the Atlantico
news web site showed that 60 per cent
of UMP opposition party supporters
want Sarkozy, who lost a re-election
bid to Socialist President Francois
Hollande in 2012, to try again in 2017.
The UMP itself is in the midst of a legal
inquiry into whether party ofcials
used its books to cover up millions of
euros of overspending on Sarkozys
2012 election campaign.
Heavy rains have killed at least
18 people in southern China and a
state news agency said six more were
missing after a landslide. Southern
China was also bracing for the arrival
of Typhoon Rammasun, with wind
gales expected to reach up to 150 kph.
The governments Xinhua News Agency
said lightning strikes killed six people
in Jiangxi province. Three days of
rains in neighbouring Hunan province
triggered landslides that killed ve,
and another seven deaths were
reported in Guizhou province. Also in
Guizhou, a landslide buried a village
near the city of Bijie.
South Africas credit regulator said
it had ordered the local unit of British
payday lender Wonga to improve
its compliance, after nding the
company did not verify the income
of its customers. The crackdown in
South Africa is the latest regulatory
hit for Wonga, which has come under
criticism in its home market for
charging an annual interest rate of
5,853 per cent. Wongas chief executive
in South Africa, Kevin Hurwitz, said
the company would comment later
on Thursday. Last month Wonga was
asked to pay 2.6 million pounds ($4.5
million) in compensation to 45,000 UK
customers after sending them bogus
letters from non-existent law rms
that threatened legal action.

Cambodian police arrest-
ed two more opposition
members of parliament on
Thursday on charges of lead-
ing an insurrection, taking to
eight the number of govern-
ment opponents being held
on accusations that rights
groups say are politically mo-
tivated.
The arrests are the latest
twist in a year-long political
crisis over a disputed election
which has exposed a rift be-
tween long-serving authori-
tarian Prime Minister Hun
Sen and many young, urban
voters yearning for change.
30 YEARS IN PRISON
Six members of the oppo-
sition Cambodia National
Rescue Party (CNRP), five of
them members of parliament
and one an activist, were or-
dered detained in prison
pending trial on charges of
leading an insurrection,
which carries a penalty of up
to 30 years in prison.
Two more members of
parliament for the party were
picked up on Thursday.
Police surrounded their
houses and they were arrest-
ed, CNRP lawmaker Yim So-
vann told Reuters.
The arrests came after vi-
olent clashes on Tuesday in
which dozens of people were
hurt after opposition law-
makers led a rally calling for
the reopening of a Phnom
Penh protest site.
Freedom Park was the on-
ly place where protests were
legally allowed until it was
closed in January following
demonstrations aimed at
toppling Hun Sen, who has
been in power since 1985.
City security guards con-
fronted the protesters as they
tried to string up banners
calling for the park to be re-
opened, sparking a melee.
Some guards were attacked
by protesters and at least 37
of them were injured, accord-
ing to the government.
The New York-based Hu-
man Rights Watch con-
demned the charges against
the opposition supporters,
saying they were trumped-up
and that Cambodias big aid
donors should demand Hun
Sens government drop the
cases and release those de-
tained.
These charges against
CNRP leaders call for a uni-
fied response from donors,
who shouldnt play the game
of saying they hope the legal
process will be fair, the
groups Asia director, Brad
Adams, said in a statement.

PHNOM PENH, THURSDAY
A European Union law barring job discrimination against people
with disabilities may apply to extremely obese people. The non-binding
opinion concerns the dismissal of Karsten Kaltoft, a child-minder.
Kaltoft argued that his obesity was part of the reason he lost his job.
The Court of Justice of the EU found that EU law does not prohibit
discrimination specically on the grounds of obesity, even if it does
ofer general protection against bias on the grounds of disability.
But Niilo Jaaskinen, the advocate general, did conclude that extreme
obesity could be considered a disability.
South African mining rm Royal Bafokeng Platinum said it had
concluded a ve-year wage agreement with the National Union of
Mineworkers. The company said the wage deal would be implemented
in two stages - the rst phase covering July 2014 to June 2017 and
the second phase from July 2017 to June 2019. It said the agreement
would be reviewed in 2017 to ensure the pay increases were in line with
the prevailing annual ination rate at the time. The increases range
between seven per cent and 10.5 per cent, RBPlat said in a statement.
A prominent former German lawmaker has been charged with
possessing child pornographic photos and videos. Prosecutors in
Hannover said Sebastian Edathy is accused of downloading child
pornographic images and videos on his parliamentary laptop last
November and possessing other material deemed to be youth
pornography, a term used when children aged 14 or over are involved.
Edathy, a member of the centre-left junior party, has denied any
wrongdoing.

Israel had previously halted its fire
for six hours on Tuesday after Egypt
put forward a cease-fire proposal

group had formally rejected the plan,
bemoaning what he called little sup-

But Palestinian President Mah-
moud Abbas met Wednesday in Cairo

try to salvage the Egyptian proposal.
In Washington, President Barack
Obama said the US supports Egypts
continued efforts to restore the 2012
ceasefire and will use all of its diplo-
matic resources and relationships to
secure a deal to end the violence.
Israels military said its forces
bombed at least 150 targets in Gaza.

outside the eastern town of Slovyansk, Ukraine, on Wednesday. Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of fomenting
a pro-Russia insurgency in eastern Ukraine. [PHOTO: AP]
Both the US and EU imposed new
economic sanctions on Russia with
President Barack Obama declaring
that Russian leaders must see that
their actions supporting Ukraines
rebels have consequences.
Though the American and Euro-
pean sanctions were co-ordinated,
they nonetheless exposed fissures in
what the West has tried to project as
a united front in its months-long ef-
fort to isolate Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine and the West have ac-
cused Russia of fomenting a pro-Rus-
sia insurgency in eastern Ukraine by
sending troops and weapons across
its border with the former Soviet re-
public, something Moscow denies.
The insurgency was sparked by Rus-
sias annexation of the Crimean Pen-
insula from Ukraine earlier this year.
DIPLOMATIC ISOLATION
The penalties announced by the
White House were broad in scope,
targeting two major Russian energy
firms, a pair of powerful financial in-
stitutions, eight arms firms and four
individuals. Leaders in Europe,
which has a far deeper economic re-
lationship with Russia than the US
were more restrained, ordering in-
vestment and development banks on
the continent to suspend financing
agreements with Moscow.
Even the US penalties stopped
short of the most stringent actions
the West has threatened, which
would entail fully cutting off key sec-
tors of Russias economy. But officials
said those steps were still on the ta-
ble if Russia fails to abide by the
Penalties were broad
in scope, targeting two
major Russian energy
rms among others
America, Europe impose
more sanctions on Russia
Wests demands to stop support for
pro-Russian insurgents.
What we are expecting is that the
Russian leadership will see once
again that its actions in Ukraine have
consequences, including a weaken-
ing Russian economy and increasing
diplomatic isolation, Obama said as
he announced the penalties from the
White House.
Publicly undismayed, Putin said
the new sanctions run counter to US
national interests because they put
American companies that want to
operate in Russia at a competitive
disadvantage.
At a news conference in Brazil,
Putin said through a translator:
They are undermining the positions
of their energy companies. They
made one mistake, and now they in-
sist on making another one.
After meeting late into the night
in Europe, the EU leaders did signal
for the first time their willingness to
go after Russian companies that are
materially or financially supporting
actions undermining or threatening
Ukraines sovereignty, territorial in-
tegrity and independence. They or-
dered their foreign ministers to draw
up a list of such people or entities by
the end of the month.
There has been no progress in
the attitude of Russia to solve this sit-
uation, the Ukraine crisis, said
French President Francois Hollande
in explaining the decision he and
other EU leaders took.
In a decision that could affect
Russian oligarchs or members of the
Kremlin inner circle, the EU leaders
also asked the ministers to consider
targeting people or companies in-
volved in the unrest in Ukraine.
Lithuanian President Dalia Gry-
bauskaite, whose nation borders
Russia, said the EU had to get tough-
er with Moscow because if Putins
aggressive policy isnt stopped, he
will go further.
Until now, the US and Europe
have limited their sanctions on Eu-
rope to travel bans and asset freezes
aimed at individuals and entities, in-
cluding some with close ties to Putin.
But those measures have done little
to change Putins calculus, with the
Pentagon announcing Wednesday
that Russian troops were again
building up along the border with
Ukraine.

Gunmen carried out a pre-dawn
rocket attack on Kabul International
Airport, temporarily shutting down
the facility and setting off a gunbattle
with security forces in which four at-
tackers were killed.
The militants occupied two
buildings under construction some
700m north of the facility, and were
using them as a base to direct rockets
and gunfire toward the airport and
international jet fighters flying over
Kabul, said Afghan army Gen Afzal
Aman.
Kabul Police Chief Mohammed
Zahir Zahir later said four of the at-
tackers were killed and that the at-
tack was halted without any civilian
or police casualties.
The airport was later reopened
and operations returned to normal,
Zahir said, after security forces in-
spected the runways for shrapnel
and explosives.
The pre-dawn attack comes
during a tense time in Afghanistan,
as a recount is underway from the
disputed second round of a presi-
dential election seen as key to insur-
ing a peaceful transfer of power
ahead of the withdrawal of most for-
eign troops by the end of the year.
FIGHT TALIBAN
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah
Mujahid claimed responsibility for
the airport attack in a call to The As-
sociated Press.
Aman said several rockets hit the
airport but no planes were damaged.
The airport hosts civilian traffic
and serves as a base for Nato-led
forces that have been fighting the
Taliban and other insurgents for
more than a decade. Rocket attacks
near the airport are not rare, but are
not usually this close.
Alarms sounded at the US Em-
bassy in Kabul, as they usually do
when there is an attack in the city, as
ISAF jet fighters patrolled overhead.
Unofficial and disputed prelimi-
nary results showed former Finance
Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai
well ahead of his rival, former For-
eign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, but
Abdullahs supporters have said that
is only because of widespread fraud.
Neither the election nor the
weekend deal has had any visible ef-
fect on security in the country.

On Wednesday, Chinese sailors
from the destroyer Haikou boarded
the Coast Guard cutter Waesche for
a drill checking cargo as part of Rim
of the Pacific exercises the US is
hosting in Hawaii waters this month.
The Americans played the role of a
merchant ship carrying valuable
paintings.
Coast Guard Lt Gregory Ostrov,
exercise safety officer for the drill,
said the Chinese sailors were eager
to co-operate and demonstrate their
proficiency as mariners. It was a lot
fun. It was a great opportunity to
build interoperability and also share
tactics and procedures and just ob-
serve the way they conduct the same
missions as we do, Ostrov said.
China will also participate in a
humanitarian assistance and disas-
ter relief exercise. The hospital ship
Peace Ark is among the four Chinese
ships and two helicopters at the ex-
ercises in Hawaii.
Nicole Forrester, a former Austra-
lian diplomat and senior interna-
tional relations adviser at Pacific Fo-
rum, a Honolulu-based think tank,
said the exercises allow nations to
understand one another better.

for grabs with Moi Girls (Nairobi)
and Pumwani Girls going head-to-
head in the arrangements and own

the popular Zilizopendwa.
Whilst the former were amazing
in their controlled and pure serenad-

dynamics and sheer stage presence.

And Nairobi County went on a
rampage, scooping nearly 90 per
long hiatus, made a serious come-
back to win seven classes as Burubu-
ru Girls held its head high with over
ten trophies in their porch.
UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
Makueni, Machakos and Kajiado
shared the rest of the spoils as offi-
cials from the three counties cried
foul, saying it is high time they were
given a region of their own due to
unfair advantage that Nairobi has in
terms of immense resources.
As you can see, we are here al-
most as spectators as Nairobi takes
nearly everything. At this rate stu-
dents from outside Nairobi are dis-
enfranchised and will never ever
participate at the national fete,
complained Metropolitan Chairman
William Makau who is the Principal
of Kiteini Secondary School in Mach-
akos.
Outering Secondary School from
Nairobi proved they were the very
best in Somali, Boran and Nubian
Cultural dances when in a class of
their own they retained the gong.
The group wowed with their mas-
tery of choreography, sense of pur-
pose and calm warmth in blending
of voices that depicted the true idi-
om of a Boran wedding dance where
young male prospects are asking for
a hand in marriage from equally
young virgin women.
Their body poise and urgency of
voice left no doubt that the eligible
bachelors were serious with their in-
tentions to turn a page in their lives.
They beat arch-rivals Our Lady of
Fatima Secondary School to position
two as Katoloni Secondary School

third.

from Machakos gave a compelling
show in their Luo dance Ligisa per-
formed in happy occasions ably so-
loed by Brenda Kisomo.
Their sisal skirts swayed graceful-
ly to the beats and sounds of a proud
group of young women who were ob-
viously impressed with the harvest
that had come out of the toil and the
sweat of their brow.

tailoring grade one and obtained
a higher diploma in theology
while in Kamiti prison.
He has released two music al-
bums and is currently working
on a third one, to be titled Jubi-
lee. The first album entitled Safa-
ri ya Mbinguni which was re-
leased in 2009 has twelve songs
and the second Bwana Yesu
Apewe Sifa with eight songs was
released in 2012.
The 42-year-old was a spright-

were no relatives who present to
take care of him.
He expressed his gratitude to
President Uhuru Kenyatta for his
concern to the prisoners adding
that some prisoners have over-

myriad of challenges with others
battling with old age behind bars.
The people who know prisoners

Bidco Oil Refineries has secured a
$36.5 million (Sh3.3 billion) loan from
a World Bank agency to invest in extra
capacity and new business.
Chief Executive Vimal Shah said
the funds from the International Fi-
nance Corporation (IFC), the lending
arm of the World Bank would enable
the Thika-based edible oil maker Bid-
co to create more opportunities for
small-scale farmers.
The company has links to over
30,000 farmers, with about 10,000 of
them selling their oil seeds and pro-
duce to the company.
Bidco intends to expand its ca-
pacity in the production of soft deter-
gents, agri-processing, and food and
drinks processing, Shah told a me-
dia briefing during the signing cere-
mony of the loan agreement in Nai-
robi yesterday.
Shah said the funds would be spe-
cifically used to expand the compa-
nys plants in Nakuru and Kiambu
where they have a physical presence.
German Vegarra, IFCs regional
head of manufacturing, agribusiness

ca, said they were eager to partner
with dynamic companies like Bidco,
which have the potential to become
pan-African, while benefitting small

He said agribusiness is a strategic
priority for IFC in light of the growing
challenges of food security in Africa
and worldwide. He said the sector ac-

TODAY IN
Commercial banks are headed for
a rude shock in the war against high
interest rates as National Treasury an-
nounces plans to name and shame
expensive lenders.
Coming hot on the heels of the in-
troduction of a uniform Kenya Banks
Reference Rate (KBRR) upon which
banks should price their flexible lend-
ing rates, Cabinet Secretary Henry Ro-
tich yesterday told The Standard that
expensive lenders would now be ex-
posed to the public.
The move is part of the Govern-
ments efforts to promote full dis-
closure of bank charges to facilitate
informed banking decisions by the
public.
Mr Rotich said his ministry would
work in collaboration with the Central
Bank to rank banks according to the
rates they charge on loans.
He said the ranking, which will be
done on a weekly basis, will enable
the public to make informed deci-
sions on which institution is cheap-
er or expensive.
We want to work with the Central
Bank to publish all the 43 commercial
banks to see which bank is narrower.
We will be doing that every week,
said Rotich.
Rotich was optimistic that with all
the measures the Government is tak-
ing including keeping out of the do-
mestic market, interest rates would
soon come down to spur private sec-
tor investment.
He pointed out that interest rates
on Government securities have al-
ready started heading south following
the Governments decision to reduce
borrowing through Treasury Bills and
Bonds.
He said the Governments plans to
access international capital market
would reduce its orrowing from the
local markets, adding that this finan-
cial year the National Treasury would
review downwards its domestic bor-
rowing plans.
He said a decline in domestic in-
terest rates would boost investments,
economic growth and provide em-
ployment opportunities to the youth.
The introduction of the KBRR
means that all new flexible loans is-
sued after July 1,2014 would be priced
using the new transparent pricing
framework.
The banks will, however, have a
transition period of one year to recal-
culate their existing loans in line with
the new framework and inform bor-
rowers. The framework will also be ex-
tended to other regulated lenders in-
cluding microfinance banks.
Central Banks Monetary Poli-
cy Committee (MPC) retained its
benchmark-lending rate to commer-
cial banks, dubbed the Central Bank
Rate (CBR), at 8.50 per cent and set
the KBRR at 9.13 per cent. This level of
the KBRR remains effective from July
8, 2014 until January 2015.
Attempts by CBK to use CBR to
control interest rates have not been
successful as the instrument has al-
ways been ignored by banks.
We want to
work with the

publish rates by
all 43 banks to
see which one is
narrower.

An initiative to recognise individu-
als who have made a significant con-
tribution towards positive change in
Kenya has received a cash injection.
KCB Group yesterday commit-
ted Sh15 million to Transform Kenya
Awards. The scheme is an initiative of
The Standard Group Ltd and financial
advisory services firm Deloitte, which
celebrates outstanding individuals in
the country.
KCB Group CEO Joshua Oigara
presented this cheque to the Standard
Group CEO Sam Shollei at the banks
headquarters in Nairobi.
Mr Oigara pointed out that the
bank fully supports the transforma-
tion agenda that seeks to recognise
Kenyans who undertake activities that
positively impact society.
He reckoned that most of these
individuals are usually not acknowl-
edged. We have been investing in
local communities over the last sev-
en years. Driven by the same spir-
it, we have decided to be part of
this initiative. The idea is to deep-
en the concept of recognising efforts
made by Kenyans, which though re-
markable, are rarely acknowledged
or rewarded, explained Oigara.

Kenya@50
He said it is through such ef-
forts that corporates can contribute
to positively changing the country.
Shollei explained that the Transform
Kenya Awards is part of the wide cel-
ebrations in the country to 50 years of
independence.
The idea behind starting this ini-
tiative is to recognise Kenyans who
in their various ways contributed to-
wards constructive change. Further,
the initiative would contribute to
starting a new phase of development
in the country through partnerships,
said Shollei.
There will be a presentation of
these awards during a colourful gala
night this Saturday.

He added that there are expec-
tations of high revenue from the in-
dustry, both in taxes and royalties,
noting that the Government is the
process of sealing loopholes used by
multinationals to avoid paying taxes.
Some of the companies have not
been honest, they have been declar-
ing losses, he said.
The Kenya Revenue Authority
(KRA) recently said it has lost up-
wards of Sh150 billion over the last

tionals.
State strikes deal with mining
rms over resource sharing

Kenyas mining ministry has
reached a deal with major min-
ing firms in the country on the
proposed Mining Bill 2014.
This is according to Najib Balala,
Cabinet Secretary Mining, who said
the ministry and the mining industry
players had reached an agreement on
many of the contentious issues that
private sector players had raised.
The industry has been critical
about the Mining Bill, arguing that in
its current form, it would make it dif-
ficult for Kenya to attract investors for
an industry that is still in its fledgling
stages.
Second Reading
Contentious provisions in the bill
include Government having a 10 per
cent stake in all companies under-
taking mining in the country. Balala
said this had been reviewed, but there
would be certain cases where the the
state would have 10 per cent owner-
ship in the ventures.

Economists predict Kenyas
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in
2013 could hit 20 per cent under
the revised system recently adopt-
ed by the Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics (KNBS).
The provisional indications are
that the revision will be around 20
per cent, increasing GDP in 2013 to
$53 billion from the current esti-
mated level of $44.1billion in 2013,
said David Cowan, Chief Economist
for Africa at Citibank.
KNBS is currently engaged in a
major revision of the GDP data. In-
ternational best practice indicates
that the base years used in GDP cal-
culations should be updated every
five years. Kenyas was last updated
in 2001, while the revised data now
moves the base year to 2009.
He made these remarks during a
Public Sector Treasury and Finance
conference, hosted by Citibank at
the Windsor Golf Hotel.
The theme of the conference
is Efficiency reform and optimis-
ation of financing solution chan-
nels. This is the second conference
following a successful Public Sector
conference held in 2008 whose fo-
cus was on Mobile Financial ser-
vices.
Cowan, who is an expert on Af-
rica Economies, discussed the mac-
ro-economic aspects specifically
highlighting the Kenya growth sto-
ry.
Shilling sell-of
KNBS is also working with Inter-
national Monetary Fund on revis-
ing its balance of payments data. In
particular, the large short-term cap-
ital flows item will be reduced effec-
tively, being re-classified as flows in
the current account. There is prob-
ably a combination of increased re-
mittances and re-exports. The out-
come of this will be twofold.
First, with the GDP revision the
fiscal deficit will be lower. Second,
the current account deficit will be
even lower as it will be influenced
by its own revisions and the chang-
es to GDP, said Cowan.
While this may appear pure-
ly a statistical adjustment, it does
help explain why we have not seen
greater Kenyan shilling weakness,
despite the large twin deficits since
2008. This is apart from the delayed
monetary policy response in 2011,
which drove the sharp Kenya shil-
ling sell-off before it rebounded,
he added.
After the significant economic
slowdown in 2008-09, Kenyas eco-
nomic growth has been up but still
considered weak especially in the
2010-12 period.
Real GDP growth averaged 6.4
per cent in the three years from
2005-07 at the height of the eco-
nomic boom, but only 4.9per cent
in the three years from 2010-12.
While there was a broad con-
sensus that there would be a rela-
tively quick rebound after the suc-
cessful holding of the March 2013
elections under the new constitu-
tion, the rebound to date has been
weaker than expected.

proposed legislation was tabled in
Parliament this year.
The Commission on Revenue Allo-
cation (CRA) noted that having a legal
framework without a revenue sharing
model would be disastrous and had
the potential of bringing about con-
flict between local communities and
exploration companies.
Balala yesterday said a revenue
sharing model proposed by CRA was
complex to implement and the min-
istry had opted for the simpler alter-
native.
Budget
Balala said the royalties that the
Government gets from the sale of
minerals would not be used in fi-
nancing the recurrent budget.
The proceeds that the Government
gets from mining will not be used for
be held by the National Mining Cor-
poration, also proposed in the Bill.
The Bill has already been tabled in
Parliament and passed through the
first reading in April.
Balala said the parliamentary
committee on natural resources had
allowed changes agreed on by the
two parties be reflected in the Bill as
it goes for its second reading.
Mr Balala said the new changes
had also reinstated a proposal to have
five per cent of the revenues accruing
to the Government to be shared with
the local communities.
While County government would
be allotted 20 per cent and the larg-
est share of 75 per cent of the royal-

Tullow Oil slapped with a Sh31b tax arrears bill by Uganda
Tullow Oil has been slapped with a Sh31 billion tax arrears
bill by the Ugandan Government for failure to remit capi-
tal gains tax after it sold its stake in one of the blocks it had
been exploring in the country. The Tax Appeals Tribunal in
Uganda issued a ruling that the rm was supposed to have
paid $407 million (Sh35 billion) in taxes after it sold 66 per
cent of its stake in a block to Total and China National Of-
shore Oil Corporation in 2012. It had already paid some $142
million before it challenged the demand by the Uganda Rev-
enue Authority for the capital gains tax on the sale of the
block. The $142 is a legal requirement, which translated to
30 per cent of $473 million, which was the initial demand by
URA. The British oil explorer, however, said it would contest
the decision in court. -Macharia Kamau

roles and duties.
These skills are in areas such as
policy, strategy, talent management,
decision making, legal expectations,
Corporate Social Responsibility, fi-
nancial analysis, risk, ICT, leadership
and ethics. This is more so with new
directors who might lack prior knowl-
edge on what their responsibilities
entail and in the process provide
quality policies and offer strategic
thinking for the company.
By developing skills to improve
their performance in boardrooms, the
training injects new leadership per-
spectives in companies, he said.
Okumbe noted that boards provide
overall leadership, strategic focus,
informed supervisory oversight, mon-
itoring and evaluation of the manage-
ment of the organisations hence the
strong need to upscale their skills.
With training, directors are able to
understand their responsibilities,
roles and duties as distinct from those
of the management so as to offer clear
leadership by inculcating best corpo-
rate governance practices and ethical
The Centre for Corporate Gover-
nance (CCG) has unveiled corporate
governance training manual to up-
date boards of directors with new and
relevant ideas, skills and knowledge.
The organisations Chief Executive
Officer Dr Joshua Okumbe said con-
tinuous training for the directors
provides them with new insights into
their expectations thus improving
performance of companies.
The top leadership of any compa-
ny is critical for improved perfor-
mance and for experience to be use-
ful, it has to be cumulative and useful,
but not repetitive. This can be
achieved through continuous train-
ing, he said.
SENIOR MANAGERS
Besides directors, the centre also
holds training for public leaders,
chairpersons, chief executive officers,
middle level managers and senior
managers on good corporate gover-
nance.
Currently, directorship, Okumbe
argues, does not call for specific ex-
pertise and this is why they need
broadened skills through well de-
signed training programmes to en-
able them undertake their complex
tion given the dynamic and complex
global business environment.
Financial regulators such as the
Capital Markets Authority, Central
Bank of Kenya and the Insurance Reg-
ulatory Authority have underpinned
the importance of training for direc-
tors. According to the centres training
and education manager, Judith Olu-
och, training of directors is an eye
opener and gives them more confi-
dence in the execution of their roles.
With the training, directors are
able to understand their expectations
and this enhances their perfor-
mance, she says.
EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
Informed directors, she says, are
able to identify the key performance
indicators and detect with ease any
red flags. Even with many years of
serving as a director, the training of-
fers them the ability to perform their
duties differently, she offers.
The training manual, Okumbe ar-
gues, will provide boards of directors
with critical knowledge and skills
necessary for effective leadership as
collective agencies in the dynamic
environment.
In addition, the centre has carried
out research, developed board instru-
ments and has been collaborating
with some universities in the imple-
mentation of postgraduate pro-
grammes. Directors are the minds
and the wheels of the companies as
they bring intellectual capital and
mobilise their skills and expertise in
the governance of these institutions,
Okumbe told Jobs and Careers.
They emerge as strong brands to
attract and retain the top talent hence
the need for the training manual.
behaviours in corporations.
In the past, the integrity and
training of directors appointed to
serve in the boards of companies did
not matter much as connections were
valued most, he reckons. However,
that has changed drastically in both
public and private sectors as compa-
nies are now embracing directors who
are broadly informed and well trained
on corporate leadership and manage-
ment issues.
Since empirical studies show a
strong correlation between training
and performance, any further train-
ing adds value, says Okumbe. Be-
sides, he says that there is a strong
correlation between good corporate
governance and improved perfor-
mance of companies.
Directors are expected to provide
diligent and prudent leadership in
their companies for higher productiv-

How to leverage on diversity in the work place
The modern workplace usually
has people from different political
leanings, cultures, sexual orientation,
race and religious backgrounds. Be-
sides, there might be differences in
viewpoints, family obligations and
background, dress, work practices,
attitude, education and class.
How to embrace these diversities
with respect and compassion can
make the workplace a better place
and see the company register impres-
sive results. Caroline Kaboria, opera-
tions manager at the Africa Manage-
ment Solutions Ltd, agrees, arguing
that diversity at the workplace is a
resource that if well tapped, can im-
prove the companys productivity.
There is a big difference in how
employees from different back-
grounds approach issues and this is a
strength that can be leveraged on to
spur growth rather than be a hin-
drance, she says.
Ken Obara, a consultant with Ca-
reer Care, a human resource manage-
ment company, says tolerance and
diversity in the workplace enhances
co-operation, loyalty, and productiv-
ity as key tenets in the workplace.
This, he says, is an appreciation
and respect of ones way of life as an
individual, different from others and
cultures.
These differences make our world
and by extension the office a rich,
diverse, and exciting place to live and
work in, he says.
Kaboria argues that the person in
charge of others or immediate super-
visor ought to know certain character
traits and be careful on how to handle
them so as to bring the best out of
employees.
Make sure that you are keen on
what would arise, suppose some
members of one community were to
express dislike for another employee
due to differences in certain respects,
she notes.
She, however, observed that given
Kenyans political differences, proba-
bly based on our communities, the
workplace might not be any different.
If we cannot tolerate each other out-
side office, it would be difficult to
tolerate each other at the workplace,
she says.
This cannot work if there is ste-
reotyping in the workplace which
might mean you dont give the other
person resources required to deliver
improved results. This might turn to
be personal, she argues. One cannot
make the company successful by hat-
ing another employee whose political
leanings, religion or sexual orienta-
tion are different from yours, Kaboria
stated.
Deal with staff directly by calling
them as individuals to the office and
request them to leave whatever orien-
tations outside the office. To curb in-
tolerance from becoming a hin-
drance, immediate managers ought
to put in place the right measures to
know what is happening and bring it
out in the office meetings.
However, the recruitment exercise
plays key role in understanding the
different orientations of the workers
and how to handle them in the right
manner. Recruitment, shortlisting
and pre-screening, selection is meant
to make one understand the orienta-
tions of the employees so that by the
time you come in, you understand
them better.
Company policy or the human
resource manual is also significant in
spelling out the expectations of the
employees. Irrespective of what you
believe in, the goal of the company is
to improve its performance and in
case there is one who holds to their
beliefs so strongly and despise those
of the others, there is need to handle
it, she states. Tolerate these by being
fair, objective, and have permissive
attitude.

Missed Opportunities
Why youth shunned police jobs drive
Potential recruits feel
joining the service has
become risky due to in-
creased terror attacks
A police ofcer takes youth through procedures during the police recruit-
ment exercise at Wundanyi Dawson Mwanyumba Stadium in Taita-Taveta
generally peaceful country, with only
a few isolated cases of serious securi-
ty operations, save for running after a
few thugs in major towns and pursu-
ing cattle rustlers, says Norman
Mwangi, a security expert.
However, with the recent cases of
terrorist attacks and crimes caused by
organised groups like what happened
in Lamu recently, the script has
changed. The police service has be-
come one of the riskiest engagements
and that is why many are likely to
shun it. It is no longer business as
usual. To work as a police officer in
Kenya today calls for commitment
and readiness to face the attendant
risks. Incessant cases of terrorist at-
tacks on innocent civilians seem to
have complicated everything, says
Mwangi.
Working as a police officer has
not been without risks. It is only that
Kenya has generally been a peaceful
country for many years. The risks are
both physical and psychological, es-
pecially with the anticipation that
danger could occur even when it does
not, says a police officer who re-
quested anonymity as he is not autho-

Early this week, hundreds of youths
trooped to their respective sub-coun-
ty headquarters with high hopes of
joining the police service. There was
cut-throat competition in many ar-
eas, with cases of alleged corruption
being reported.
Desperate to become law enforc-
ers, some were apprehended for pre-
senting fake academic and profes-
sional credentials. Others used all the
means possible to lobby for a chance,
including dishing out bribes. At the
end of the day, some 10,000 recruits
were enlisted to join the service across
the country.
young people
However, unlike in the past, where
scores of young people would be des-
perate to seek chances to be recruited
as law enforcers, generally, there has
been a decline in the number of
young people seeking to join the ser-
vice. This is despite the fact that for
many years, working in the police
service has been seen to be enviable,
especially among the youth.
Even with the poor pay and harsh
working conditions, the profession
has been attractive, even to qualified
young people. In the past, working as
a police officer had been relatively
less demanding. Kenya has been a
rised to speak to the press over such
matters.
He adds, Policing can be a dan-
gerous job and is therefore not for
everyone. It is not for the faint-heart-
ed. You do not know when an attack
can take place especially now that
threats by terrorists are eminent.
A police officer has to contend
with the need to make decisions on
the streets controlling the public and
traffic. Yet most of the decisions made,
however prudent, are always ques-
tioned by the human rights bodies,
the public, the media and even senior
officers within the service, says an
expert who deals with security issues.
This year I kept off the recruit-
ment exercise because I felt the police
service is now a very risky job. Previ-
ously, I had participated twice, unsuc-
cessfully. Then I thought it was pres-
tigious to be a police officer as it only
involved giving and making a quick
buck from law offenders, says Collins
Opiyo, a jobless youth.
Experts warn working as a security
agent has some risks. Unlike many
other professions where one can only
possibly die off industrial accident,
here you are exposed to all sorts of
risks on a daily basis. As the Govern-
ment embarks on training the 10,000
recruits, effort should be made to
ensure that the service remains at-
tractive and public confidence is re-
stored.
Officers should be given decent
housing, insurance cover and better
pay to be able to continue attracting
competitive people who can be trust-
ed in the fight against crime.
How to manage work-related stress
Jennifer Wairimu works at a Naku-
ru-based mobile phones shop as a senior
manager. Her day begins at 5am and ends
past midnight. Shes always stressed and
worn out and hardly gets adequate time to
be with her family. The mother of three
leaves her children at a day care unit and
picks them in the evening.
As she tries to juggle between work and
family commitments, the only quality
time she gets is on weekends, when she is
off-duty. Many people feel overwhelmed
with the expectations placed on them
once they get new jobs. They sacrifice time
and energy to please their employers but
this may have adverse effects on their
health in the long run, when stress takes
its toll on their lives.
Work-related stress tends to slow down
workers productivity and aggravates be-
haviour. Stress can be a factor in disease
causation, which means one feels dissat-
isfied with the current work he or she is
doing. John Kariuki, a personal finance
writer based in Nyahururu Town, says the
fear of losing ones job can trigger stress
among employees. If a company an-
nounces impeding lay-offs, every worker
feels they are the likely target and the
working environment can be a stressful
one, he says, adding that employed work-
ers who had a stressful job start can also
learn to cope.
family and friends
Long working hours, working late or
taking work home, apart from contribut-
ing to the slow wear and tear on a person,
can have a bearing on ones own relations
with family and friends. Many feel their
obligation is to their jobs more than fam-
ily and friends, and would rather be left
alone to contend with office work, he
adds.
This has contributed to delinquent
parenting, where both spouses work, leav-
ing children in day care centres or at home
with househelps. They return in the eve-
ning tired and stressed, with hardly any
time to monitor their childrens growth
and academic performance.
He says conflict with the boss and
co-workers can also cause stress. He ad-
vises that if one finds out the conflict is a
stress contributor, they should the find a
way of ironing out the differences rather
than sit and silently wear out.
Even if it doesnt solve one personali-
ty issue, cultivating a good working rela-
tion with everyone is better than nothing
and slowly wasting away, he says.
Doctor Stephen Njoroge, a private
practitioner in Nakuru, says if stress is left
unchecked in the long run, it can lead to
cardiovascular diseases, musculo-skeletal
and psychological disorders like depres-
sion, anxiety and panic attacks.
He cites sleep disturbances, aggressive
behaviour like short temper flares and
increased intake of drugs and alcohol as
few examples exhibited by most stressed
workers. Many may not realise this, but
when left unchecked, it may become a
chronic disorder that can be hard to erad-
icate, he says.
He advises people to identify the stress
contributors in their life. He observes that
those experiencing profound effects of
stress should seek professional help. Heart
diseases and diabetes are closely linked
with stress, he adds. -kariukipaul67@

Trick to achieve immense
social media success
Ten years ago, we read books, mag-
azines and newspapers... the real
kind, on paper. When companies
wanted to attract customers, they
bought ads. When we got bored at
night, we watched TV. When profes-
sionals wanted to strengthen their
careers, they went out and met more
people... in person.
Today, we use social media. Con-
tent marketing is hot, because most
other forms of advertising have near-
ly stopped working. Content market-
ing is using articles to attract custom-
ers or boost your career. Now everyone
even the nice retired lady down the
street is obsessed with how many
followers they have. Nearly everyone
wants more followers.
This, unfortunately, is where near-
ly everyone screws up on social me-
dia. Social media includes LinkedIn,
Twitter, Slideshare, Facebook and
even Forbes. I mean your blog, and
your companys blog. Im talking
about every web site that lets you
track how many people have seen or
shared what you posted. The race for
more followers is a fools mission. You
are not NBC in the good old days. To
succeed, you do not have to attract a
third of the nations viewers.
To drive this point home, imagine
that all your followers came to see you
in person. If you have 10,000 follow-
ers, imagine a concert hall filled with
them. Now what? Do you have 90
minutes of great material to drive the
crowd wild? I think not. Do you have
the time to have personal, meaningful
conversations with every visitor? That
would take about 30 minutes times
10,000 followers, or nearly two years
worth of eight-hour days.
Unless you are selling Coke or
Pampers, you dont need a mass audi-
ence. If you had to meet all your fol-
lowers in person, wouldnt it be better
to attract five or ten followers a day?
And wouldnt it be better if every fol-
lower was deeply interested in your
unique talents, experiences and opin-
ions?
The secret to social media success
is to focus on attracting a small num-
ber of people with whom you actually
wish to interact. Instead of writing
articles, composing tweets and mak-
ing videos designed to attract large
audiences. -Forbes
Beware of malice lest
it ruins your career

Malice might
give you some
In the Workplace
How to handle a micro-manager
A common cause of career failure
is the tendency to be malicious. Mal-
ice is the desire to ruin or cause harm
or injure the reputation of someone.
The practice is common in many a
workplace. More often than not, both
the malicious person and their victim
end up paying the price.
Take the case of Henry. Recently,
he was involved in a minor domestic
accident that led to his hospitalisa-
tion. He promptly sent someone to
the office to deliver this information
and explain his absence.
For some unexplained reasons, a
long-time colleague who received
Henrys note maliciously forgot to
pass it on to his boss. After a three-

career without improv-
ing your image, hard
work, honesty, integrity
among other good prin-
ciples
week absence, Henry returned to his
office to find that he had been re-
placed. Henrys case is one of malice
in its worst form.
Malice may be manifested in ma-
ny ways. Some people, as in Henrys
case, will misrepresent or totally fail
to report issues as they are. Others will
talk ill of you for no good reason while
some will simply fail to meet their
part of the bargain, just to show that
a colleague is not performing.
In some cases, people or employ-
ees will deliberately misplace or spoil
office items just to make one look bad.
Others will raise a lot of fuss over a
minor omission or commission in
order to cause some harm.
Causes of malice
Top on the list is envy and jealousy.
Some people cannot just bring them-
selves to accept the reality that others
are doing better than them. In a bid to
cut their colleagues to size, they come
up with all sorts of schemes. Others
are sadists who want to enjoy the suf-
fering of their colleagues.
Others simply have no interest in
making progress and will not let any-
one else progress either. They will
invent malicious schemes just to set-
tle some real or imagined scores. In
many cases, malice is used to slow
down others in a bid to gain some
When Tina Fox was working as a
regional manager in a San Diego con-
sulting firm, she winced each morn-
ing as the dozen members of her team
filtered into the office. Her boss, a vice
president, kept tabs on everyone,
even though they werent her direct
reports.
Whenever someone would come
in a few minutes late, she would im-
mediately go up to them in the middle
of the floor and say, Why are you late?
You didnt call and let us know. Fox
found the micromanaging painful.
Were not talking about managing
junior high students, she says. These
were professionals making more than
$100,000 (Sh8.7 million) a year.
The boss kept up her microman-
aging during meetings. If a team
member would bring up a creative
proposal, the boss would shoot it
down and prescribe her own ap-
proach. She would never accept
someone elses idea, says Fox.There
were days I would walk into the office
and say to myself, Can I keep doing
this? says Fox, who is now a manag-
er in San Diego for Menlo Park-based
staffing firm Robert Half.
Robert Halfs Accountemps divi-
sion, asked 450 employees about their
experiences with overbearing bosses.
Nearly 60 per cent said they had
worked for a micro-manager at some
point in their career. Of that group, 55
per cent said it decreased their pro-
ductivity and 68 per cent said it
dampened their morale.
None of those statistics surprise
me. While I havent had a boss who
was as bad as Foxs supervisor, two of
my bosses over the years had micro-
managing tendencies, which cut into
my ability to get work done and made
me feel lousy.
In one of my jobs, I never once
missed a deadline, yet my boss sent
me emails all day long making sure I
was tracking not only my own work
but my colleagues. What should you
do if you are saddled with a micro-
managing boss? After more than 16
years in the staffing field, Fox has
come up with five guidelines. Ill sum-
marise them below, with a bit of what
I hope is my own wisdom.
Ask your boss what she ex-
pects from you: It can be tough to
communicate with someone who is
oblivious about her faults, which de-
scribes most micro-managers. But it
can help to ask her to lay out what
tasks she wants you to perform.
In the case of Foxs boss, for exam-
ple, the vice president wanted every
team member accounted for by 9am.
Fox could have coordinated with her
team and asked them to call her if
they were stuck in traffic or facing
other delays. Ask your boss to share as
much as she can about her workload.
What can you do to produce the best
results for her?
Be proactive: Once youve been
micromanaged, you can anticipate
what your boss will do. I learned to
give my boss progress reports before
she asked for them. It was easier to
compose and send frequent email
updates on my own timetable than to
field interruptions. Fox could have
prepped her staff before meetings for
the likelihood that the vice president
would reject their ideas.
Demonstrate empathy: After a
clash with your boss, ask for a meeting
and start by saying you understand
that a situation might have been dif-
ficult for her. After the coffee, I realise
it was probably not the right time for
me to interrupt our meeting and go
for coffee; I should have asked you if
it was appropriate to take a break. If
you share the blame with them, that
can help you move forward, she says.
Consider moving on: Some-
times nothing works. Fox says she
tried communicating, empathising
and being proactive, but her bosss
bad habits persisted. She gave up on
improving the relationship and start-
ed to look for a new job. Fortunately
for her, a position opened up in an-
other department and she was able to
move within the company. -Forbes

Choose to be inspired by top per-

New Manchester United coach
Louis van Gaal said he believes
he can meet the expectations for
success at the biggest club in the
world but refused to indulge in pre-
dictions when he was introduced to
the media at Old Trafford on Thurs-
day.
The Dutchman, smiling and
looking relaxed after arriving from
his stint as Netherlands manager at
the World Cup, also made it clear
that the commercial demands at
United would make his job harder.
Im now two days here, Van
Gaal, 62, told reporters. Ive met a
lot of people, and when you see that
kind of people loving the club they
expect a lot of me.
Can I fulfil that expectation? I
think I can, but because of the great-
ness of this club it is much more dif-
ficult than in another club.
This club is also guided in a
commercial way and we have to ful-
fil that also, but it is not always pos-
sible to fulfil both.
I will do my utmost best. Thats
what I can give. I cannot give pre-
dictions.
Van Gaal added: I cannot give
predictions because you never
know. Its the biggest club in the
world. Within two days I know al-
ready how important Manchester
United is but also how important
the sponsors are.
I have to adapt to this big club.
It will not be easy but you can see
what I have won.
According to BBC, Louis van Gaal
described himself as a democrat-
ic manager in his first news con-
ference as Manchester United boss.
But the 62-year-old countered:
Im democratic, empathetic to hu-
man beings.
Of course I have a strong per-
sonality, but the other characteris-
tics are more important.
He said speculation over his
management style was unfair,
adding that the media want to
show that part of the personality.
When you repeat that, everybody
thinks like that.
Van Gaal, who also revealed that
midfielder Michael Carrick had
been injured in training this week
and would be out for a long time,
also called United the biggest club
in the world.
The squad returned for pre-sea-
son training on 4 July, with assistant
Ryan Giggs taking charge while Van
Gaal was helping to guide the Neth-
erlands to the World Cup semi-final.
Van Gaal has been asked to reju-
venate the Old Trafford club follow-
ing last seasons disappointing cam-
paign under David Moyes.

Spanish football club Real
Madrid has topped an annual
Forbes list of the worlds most
valuable sports teams. The club,
who won the Champions League
in May, is worth an estimated
$3.44b, Forbes said. The top three
slots are occupied by football
clubs, with Barcelona in second
place at $3.2bn, and Manchester
United third, with $2.81bn.
Forbes calculated the value of
the teams based on equity, debt
and stadium deals. MLB baseball
team the New York Yankees were
in fourth spot, valued at $2.5bn.
In fth place is NFL American
Football team the Dallas
Cowboys, worth $2.3bn.
Germany midelder Toni Kroos
has signed a six-year deal to join
Real Madrid from Bayern Munich,
the Bundesliga club conrmed
on Thursday. The 24-year-old
was instrumental in Germanys
World Cup-winning campaign
and moves to the Bernabeu for a
fee believed to be in the region
of $33.82 million. Kroos is Reals
rst signing ahead of the new
season and could well take over
set-piece duties from Xabi Alonso.
His arrival could also lead to the
departure of Germany team-mate
Sami Khedira, who has been
linked with a move to England.

Kiambu to host
Craig Bowl
Ladies golf
tournament
A record big field is expected to-
morrow at the Kiambu Golf Club for
the annual Craig Bowl Ladies Golf
Tournament.
According to the tournament or-
ganiser Grace Githere, who is also
Kiambu Golf Club Lady Captain,
more than 140 women have regis-
tered for what will be the biggest
tournament at the Kiambu Golf Club
course this year.
Among the favourites is Kenyas
number one female golfer Naomi
Wafula of the Rose Naliaka Golf
Academy who won at the Kiambu
Ladies Open on the same course in
April.
The Craig Bowl, an annual tour-
nament played every July at the
Kiambu Golf Club, is one of the big-
gest ladies tournaments in the golf
calendar.
It was first played in 1935 and has
always attracted ladies from clubs all
over the country.
The tournament has received
sponsorship from CIC Insurance
Group courtesy of their CIC Lady Au-
to Insurance policy which targets fe-
male motorists.
Speaking ahead of the tourna-
ment, CIC General Insurance Man-
aging Director, Kenneth Kimani, said
the company is committed to pro-
moting ladies golf as a sport.
Golf as a sport is a powerful tool
for promoting ladies development
as it provides opportunities for inter-
action and networking, said Kima-
ni.
According to Grace Githere,
Kiambu Golf Club will play the
monthly Mug in the afternoon,
which is also sponsored by the CIC
Insurance Group.
Meanwhile, Kenya Ladies Golf
Union will hold an Emergency Gen-
eral Meeting tomorrow after the
tournament.
According to KLGU chair, the
EGM will discuss and adopt the pro-
posed Kenya Golf Federation consti-
tution in addition to making amend-
ments to the KLGU constitution.
This will enable KLGU to comply
with the Sports Act that requires the
sports to have one golf federation to
manage the game of golf in Kenya.
Another key highlight in the KLGU
constitution will be to make an
amendment that will bring back the
voting rights of lady captains and
past lady captains, Joyce Wafula told
FeverPitch yesterday.
Golf is once again an Olympic sport
The Royal Liverpool Golf Club in
Hoylake, Mersyside, England will
this year once again play host to the
third Major of the year, The Open
Championship. This, the oldest and
perhaps the most prestigious of the
four majors in golf, is the only one
played outside the United States of
America.
The other three, The Masters, The
US Open and the PGA Champion-
ship, are all played on sites in the US.
Even though 143rd edition of The
Open, as the British like to refer to it,
started yesterday, we shall, to-day,
spend time on an even more exciting
development; the re-entry of golf in-
to the Olympics.
The International Golf Federation
President, (IGFP), who also doubles
up as the CEO at Royal & Ancient, Pe-
ter Dawson, announced on Monday
July 14, 2014, the qualification sys-
tem for the 2016 Olympic Games.
Some golf enthusiasts may remem-
ber Dawsons visit to Kenya, some
ten years ago, as the then Chairman
of the R & A Rules Committee when
he conducted a very successful Golf
Rules School: which planted the seed
for the first local golf referees.
The 2016 Olympics Games will be
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and af-
ter a long break, golf will be one of
the competition events; there will be
an Olympic golf champion after the
2016 Olympics!
There is a very detailed list on
their website of the qualification cri-
teria, which follows the ratification
of the system by the Executive Board
of the International Olympics Com-
mittee (IOC).
The two-year qualification period
will run from July 14, 2014 to July 11
2016.
It will be open to speculation
whether Brazil will be looking for-
ward to hosting The Olympics after
the World cup debacle of 2014!
But the IGFP and the Internation-
al Olympics Committee seem to
have been especially sensitive to the
national interests as a provision has
been included for the host country
to be guaranteed at least one Brazil-
ian female and one male golfer to
compete in the Games, if otherwise
not eligible under the other qualifi-
cation criteria.
In both the womens and mens
events, a field of 60 players will com-
pete in a 72-hole stroke play format
competition for the Gold, Silver and
Bronze medals.
The 60 positions available in each
event will be allocated through an
Olympic Golf Ranking (OGR) web-
site, based on the players respective
Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR)
as follows:
a) Players within the top 15 on the
respective womens and mens OW-
GR as of July 11 2016, will be eligible,
except that there will be no more
than four players from any one
country eligible within the top 15.
This is an important restriction as
most of the top 20 players on the
OWGR have, for a while now, been
either from the USA or Europe.
b) The balance of the field will be
selected in order from the 16th place
onwards on the respective womens
and mens official world golf rank-
ings as of July 11, 2016, up to a max-
imum of two players per country for
those countries not already having
more than two players within the
top-15.
There is a further provision that
each of the five continents of the
Olympic Movement - Africa, Ameri-
cas, Asia, Europe and Oceania - will
be guaranteed at least one athlete in
each of the womens and mens
events, if not otherwise eligible,
based on position within the respec-
tive official world golf rankings.
Both this provision and the provi-
sion on the host country representa-
tion will not increase the fields for
both the womens and the mens
competitions beyond the stipulated
60 athletes.
Throughout the two-year qualifi-
cation period, the Olympic Golf
Ranking list will be published each
week using the current rankings on
the official world golf ranking.
The International Golf Federation
will publish the final list of the OGR
on July 11, 2016, following the con-
clusion all eligible events.
The 143rd edition of The Open is
the first qualifying event for the
OGR.

Surprises as Mombasa region games kick of
Defending champions St
Johns Kaloleni posted mixed
results in girls football and
volleyball as the Mombasa re-
gion Secondary Schools Term
Two B games kicked off at
the Kwale county yesterday.
In girls football, St Johns Ka-
loleni got off to a flying start,
walloping Kwale Girls High 7-0
in a one-sided match at Kwale
High.
However, in girls volley-
ball, St Johns Kaloleni of Kil-
ifi made a false start after
they were beaten by Msamb-
weni of Kwale County.
Msambweni won 3-2 (25-20,
18-25, 25-18, 17-25, 15-12) af-
ter the two sides were dead-
locked at 2-2 before going for
the final and deciding set.
In another girls match,
Murray of Taita Taveta beat
Moi Forces Mtongwe 3-1
(25-11, 23-25, 25-8, 25-20).
In football, lethal striker Mwa-
naalima Adams scored five
goals to steer her team to a
comfortable 7-0 against Kwale
Girls as the score stood at 4-0 at
half time. Fatuma Mbaya and
Nuru Mustafa added a goal
each.
In another girls foot-
ball match at Kwale Semi-
nary ground, Kajire of Tai-
ta Taveta County clobbered
Mombasas Mwakirunge 3-0.
In boys football, former
champions Waa High of Kwale
became the first team to
qualify for the semis after up-
setting former kings Tonon-
oka of Mombasa 1-0. Zakaria
Mwakisua scored the all-im-
portant goal in the 5th minute.
Mombasas newcomers
Green Palms Academy came
from a goal down to draw 1-1
with Kasidi of Kilifi. Moham-
med Baraka scored for Kasi-
di while Ian Mathenge replied
for the Mombasa boys in an-
other boys football match.
In another boys match, Sam-
buru of Kwale defeated Gade-
ni of Tana River 4-3 in a closely
battled match.
In boys volleyball, defend-
ing champions Mivumoni and
Tumaini Secondary both of
Kwale made their intentions
clearly known after they won
their opening matches. Tu-
maini, coached by their Prin-
cipal Thomas Kingoo, showed
little mercy to well-oiled St
Georges of Kilifi when they
dismissed them 3-1 (25-23, 27-
29, 26-24, 25-17).
In other boys volleyball
matches, Marifano of Tana
River outclassed Mombasas
Moi Forces Mtongwe 3-0 (25-
20, 25-13, 25-19) while Mivu-
moni easily dismissed Kenyat-
ta Mwatate of Taita Taveta 3-0
(25-11, 25-9, 25-11).

All the four National champions in
football and volleyball won their re-
spective opening matches during the
Airtel Rising Stars Metropolitan re-
gion games that started in Loitokitok
yesterday.
Battling through dazzling sun-
shine, intermittent whirlwinds, cool
temperatures and relentless compe-
tition, Upper Hill of Nairobi County
outclassed Makindu of Makueni 4-0
in a football boys Pool B match at
Kimana primary at the foot of the im-
posing Mt Kilimanjaro to bag maxi-
mum points.
Makindu started the match
on the offensive and forced at
least five free kicks from dan-
gerous positions but shot wide.
Upper Hill scored the first goal when
Hemed Said picked a pass inside the
box and rounded Makindu defenders
before he let go a low shot into the net.
Two-goal hero Ovella Ochieng
stretched the scores to 2-0 in the
32nd minute to give Upper Hill a
commanding lead at half time of the
match that was well officiated by cen-
tre referee Beatrice Murage of Kajiado.
Wilson Njuguna was on tar-
get in the 57th minute after trading
passes with Ovella inside the box.
Ovella completed his double after he
connected home a left-flank cross to
hand the team the resounding victory.
Upper Hill coach Gilbert Walu-
simbi said: Weve just started as ex-
pected. It was not an easy match
but the boys deserved to win.
It was a walk in the park for Jamhuri
of Nairobi after they beat Kiatineni of
Makueni 6-0 in a Pool A tie.
Jamhuri were leading 3-0 at half
time, after which Clinton Otego

match at Kimana H School yesterday.

Kakamegas Green Commandos,
playing before home fans, recorded
a narrow but valuable 1-0 victory
against St Anthonys as the Airtel Ris-
ing Stars Nzoia region games kicked
off at the institution yesterday. The
match, as expected, attracted hun-
dreds of fans who cheered the teams
throughout the 90-minute duration.
But an early goal by Eric Ouma
handed the Commandos the victory
that enabled them to give home fans
something to cheer about at the end
of the match.
East African champions Tartar
won their first match following 4-0
drubbing of Kingadole of Busia in an
entertaining girls match.
Tartar, also the national silver
medalists, scored through Nancy Ro-
tich and Miriam Chelegat who
scored two goals each.
It was a triumphant start for two
former East African and National
champions Wiyeta and Archbishop
Njenga.
Wiyeta overcame Chebukaka of
Bungoma 2-0 while Archbishop
Njenga defeated hapless Lodwar 8-0.
Butere, who are other big names in
Nzoia region football, beat Moi Girls
3-1 to bag maximum points.
Hosts Migori County read the riot
act to visitors after all volleyball
teams won all their first preliminar-
ies in the Lake Region Secondary
Schools Championships.
Pe Hill Boys from Awendo beat
Ambira High from Siaya 3-0 of 25-14,
25-15 and 27-25.
The hosts later defeated Otieno
Oyoo from Kisumu 3-1. Otieno Oyoo
won first set 25-14 but the victory
was neutralised after Pe Hill Captain
Thomas Oduor led his highly re-en-
ergised side to capture consequent
sets winning 25-11, 25-13 and 25-19.
In the girls category, St Alberts
Ulanda Girls also from Awendo
fiercely defended their title
by winning 3-1 sets against Huma
Girls from Homa Bay County. Huma
won first set but their victory
awakened the sleeping giants who
bounced back, winning 25-11, 25-13
and 25-19.
Ulanda also later terrorised Ligisa
from Homa Bay 25-19, 25-8 and 25-
17 to advance to the next stage.
In football, hosts Kanga Boys suf-
fered defeat after falling 1-0 to
Kisumu Day Boys in a thrilling match
played at Taranganya Boys
grounds.
Kanga had been given an oppor-
tunity to represent Migori County
together with main representatives
Lwanda Magwar after runners-up in
the county Ugari Secondary were
disqualified from participating in the
finals for allegedly fielding ineligible
players.
Kanga had lost to Ugare 1-0
during county championships that
were held at Rongo last week.

In the girls category, Olym-

compete in the National Finals,
won their opening match follow-
ing a deserved 3-0 victory against
Olooseos in a Pool B match at
Kimana High.
Sharon Adhiambo recorded a
brace in the first half while Ami-
na Fondo added the third in the fi-
nal minutes of the last 25 minutes.
In volleyball boys, National cham-
pions Hospital Hill of Nairobi
opened campaign on a winning
note after they beat Makueni Boys
in straight sets of 25-13, 25-17 and
25-15 at Kimana.

who are also National champi-
ons breezed past Nairobis Buru
Buru 3-0 (25-8, 25-12, 25-14) in
their opening Pool B volleyball
match to bag maximum points.
Kwanthanze coach Justin Kigwari
said: The match was rather an
easy one but we expect stiff op-

gresses.

The home team, who were
the last to qualify for World
University Championships,
will not play at the global event
for fielding foreign players.
The decision was reached
after Makerere Universi-
ty coach Albert Asiko lodged
a complaint questioning the
fielding of non-Kenyan play-
ers.
Asked why he had to wait
until the finals to raise alarm,
Asiko said he was not being
malicious for waiting for the
Kenyan students to reach the
finals to raise the complaint.
I realised it (that USIU-A
fielded foreign players) when
we were playing our second
match but I kept quiet be-
cause I had to get my facts
right. I confirmed my fears on
Wednesday evening and that
is when I decided to write the
protest letter, said the tacti-
cian.
The three players in ques-
tion were Magnitique Nday-
ikengerutse, Ghyslane Uwima-
na and Cythia Ilankunda (all
from Rwanda) and Sudanese
Mauel Biel.
After the incident, USIU-A
coach declined to answer any
questions from the media, nei-
ther did the institutions team
manager Boniface Salano an-
swer the phone calls.
During the finals, Ugan-
da beat Mozambique 48-44 to
emerge the continental cham-
pions in a hotly contested final
played at the Nyayo National
Stadium basketball gymnasi-
um yesterday.
This was the third time the
teams met in the whole com-
petition with Uganda emerg-
ing as the favourites in all the
matches.
Makerere started the match
on a high note, winning the
first quarter 10-8 but failed to
contain their opponents who
were determined to avenge
their loss in the first quarter.
Mozambique won the second
quarter 12-5.
12-12 scoreline
During the third quarter,
the Mozambique continued
to pile more pressure on Mak-
erere University but the Ugan-
dans came out the better side,
winning the third quarter 20-
12.
In the last quarter, Mozam-
bique were at it again, piling
up pressure on the Ugandans
only to end the final quarter on
a 12-12 scoreline.
During the explosive en-
counter, Claire Lumunu
emerged the top scorer with 18
points for Makerere while her
team mate Joy Chemtai man-
aged eight.
Monica Tembo and Sousa
Cita scored ten and eight re-
spectively for Mozambique.
In another one-sided final,Mo-
zambique beat Egypt 71-54 to
clinch the mens title.

The Kenya Inter-Counties Sports
and Cultural Association (Kicosca)
Games will be held in Nakuru from
August 17 to 24.
A total of 20 out of 47 counties
have confirmed participation with
the number expected to increase as
the date draws nearer.
Kicosca chairman Fredrick Rem-
bere said Nakuru was given the onus
of hosting the one-week competition
after members preferred it to Mom-
basa due to security concerns.
Speaking during the hand-
ing-over ceremony of the Kicosca
Ceremonial Chain and the Peace
Torch from former patron and Nai-
robi Governor Evans Kidero to his
Nakuru counterpart Kinuthia Mbu-
gua, Rembere appealed to the Coun-
cil of Governors to support the
games, now in its second edition, af-
ter the new constitutional dispensa-
tion.
As a result, Mbugua was installed
as the new Kicosca Games patron
and he will serve for a one-year term.
Governors need to support us so
that we make the games more vi-
brant as they were in the initial stag-
es until recently, said Rembere.
The competition that was initial-
ly referred to as the Kenya Inter Mu-
nicipalities Sports and Cultural Asso-
ciation(KIMSCA) Games was started
in 1978 and has served under the
same banner until the promulgation
of the New Constitution in 2010.
Haven of peace
Kidero, who was represented by
County Executive Committee mem-
ber for Education, Sports, Culture
and Gender Christopher Khaemba,
appealed to council chairman Isaac
Ruto to convene their next meeting
in Nakuru to coincide with the com-
mencement of the games. The town
is a preferred destination for sports
and tourism and a haven of peace,
besides its environment that is suit-
able for different economic activi-
ties, Kidero said in a statement
during the event attended by the
games executive committee, its gov-
erning council members, Members
of County Assembly and Speakers
from different parts of the country.
Others were counties Sports min-
isters from participating counties
and the press corps.
Mr Mbugua assured the partici-
pating teams of adequate security
during the competition and called
on visitors to tour resorts such as
Lake Nakuru National Park and Me-
nengai Crater. There will be ade-
quate security and there should be
no cause for alarm as we will also en-
sure those who visit the tourist re-
sorts get there happy after the
games, said the governor.
The games, which were held in
Nairobi last year, will feature foot-
ball, basketball, netball, handball,
volleyball, cultural dances, athletics,
ajua, choir, tug-of-war, darts, table
tennis, squash and badminton.
At the end of the games, different
teams will be selected for the East Af-
rican Games that are set for Uganda
in October.
Rembere said they will select
quality players ahead of the regional
games in Kampala.

QUEST FOR GLORY
Kenya seeking
to re-ignite
the re of
yesteryears in
Glasgow
Kenyas sprint team has left for
the 20th Commonwealth Games
that start in Glasgow, Scotland, on
Wednesday.
The team departed from Jomo
Kenyatta International Airport
yesterday evening to Dubai via
the Emirates airline to connect
directly to Glasgow.
After many years of heart-
breaks at the global stage, Kenyan
sprinters dream to have their day
in the sun when the track and
field contest gets underway next
week.
The sprinters want to bring
back the glory witnessed in
yesteryears in the Common-
wealth Games and the Olympics.
Tony Chirchir, who was in
Kenyas team to the inaugural
IAAF World Relay Championships
in Bahamas last May, said he was
confident Kenya can still reclaim
the lost grip in sprint races.
We have had enough prepara-
tions and hope we will perform
well in Glasgow. The competition
in Bahamas helped us pick a
number of skills and I believe we
will sail through to the final stage
and even appear in the podium,
said Chirchir, a soldier with the
Kenya Defence Forces at Nyali.
Chirchir, a father of one, said he
has no worries as he gears to line
up in 100m and 200m against the
best from the 72 English-speaking
nations.
I can promise something
good now that we have the best
athletes. I am sure the sprint race
performance is picking up steadi-

Games are here, plan ahead now
The games are here, plan ahead now
to beat the rush.
This is one of the many alert posters
that colour Glasgow city, the home of the
20th Commonwealth Games.
Commonly known as Glasgow 2014,
the Games mood has taken this city by
storm with the organisers ready to wel-
come up to one million additional visi-
tors to its population.
Rugby, swimming, weightlifting and
athletics are regarded as some of the big-
gest events which will keep Glasgow ex-
ceptionally busy.
Team Kenya rugby sevens squad ar-
rived on Monday and have been in seri-
ous training in readiness for the compe-
tition.
The games will officially kick off on
July 23 and end on August 3, 2014.
Today will be the official welcoming
ceremony for Team Kenya in the Games
village starting from 4pm.
Rugby sevens team Manager Steven
Sewe said they were happy with the fa-
cilities at the Games village and that his
charges were set for the big battle ahead
of them.
The team has six officials and 12 play-
ers. Weightlifting and power-lifting team
manager John Ogola confirmed that his
team had a non-eventful flight to
Glasgow, have settled, are training well
and are all set for the task ahead.
The weather in Glasgow is unpredict-
able. It has been rainy and cold most of
the days since Friday last week. Follow-
ing these climatic conditions, team Ken-
ya chief de mission Stephen arap Soi
yesterday appealed to the athletes and
officials to keep themselves in warm
clothing as a precaution.
The weather has been chilly since the
team arrived here last Wednesday. Soi
confirmed that more than 100 members
of his Team Kenya will be arriving today.
Judo Team Manager Mwangi Mbutu
said his team of players arrived after a
prolonged delay at Dubai International
Airport and went straight to training.
Mbutu and his coaches Joseph Mo-
manyi and Hezron Misati inspected the
training facilities in the Village and were
satisfied.

ly and in a few years, we can
match the performance of the
1972 Olympics relay team in
Munich. The Safaricom series
helped us, said Chirchir, a fi-
nalist at the All Africa Games
in 2011.
A quartet of Charles Asati,
Hezekiah Nyamao, Robert Ou-
ko and Julius Sangwon won
gold medal in 4x400m at the
1972 Olympics Games in Mu-
nich.
In 1974, Sabina Chebichii
became Kenyas first woman
to win a medal at the Com-
monwealth Games in Christ-
church, New Zealand.
Chirchir, better known as
the bet-coat in athletics cir-
cles, did not betray her Kalen-
jin surname Chebichii, which
means a tough one as she set-
tled for bronze in 800m.
The womens team ofJacin-
ta Shikanda (400m), Millicent
Ndoro (400m) and Maureen
Chelagat (400m), who were
among athletes that left yes-
terday, will be seeking to emu-
late the veteran Chirchir.
Jacinta Shikanta, a police
officer at Jogoo Police Station
in Nairobi, said she expects
the best in Glasgow. We want
to do what our former stars
did for this nation. We have
trained well and are ready for
competition, said Shikanda.
Collins Omae (200m) and
Tony Chirchir (100m and
200m) were among the mens
squad. Maureen Chelagat,
who competed in the New
Delhi showpiece, returns to
the Club Games to make
amends after she was disqual-
ified for a false start in New
Delhi.

Mariga, Victor Wanyama and
Peter Opiyo are among the for-
eign-based players expected to join
Stars in the trip.
Meanwhile, Mariga is confident
Harambee Stars can get a positive
result against Lesotho.
The midfielder, who rejoined the
side after being sidelined for a long
time due to injury, believes they can
improve on their performance in the
0-0 draw against Burundi in Nairobi
on Tuesday.
This was a friendly match and
we have seen our mistakes. We can
correct it because the coach was
trying out different things and now
we know how to right our wrongs.
I believe we can get a positive
result in Maseru when we play
Lesotho. It is possible to do that with
our team. He also commented on
the sending off Victor Wanyama.
I struggled in the midfield after
he was sent off and I agree the
decision affected us.
Mariga came on after interval as
Kenya settled for a barren draw
against Burundi at Nyayo stadium
on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, Kenya has jumped 13
placed up the table to the 95th
position, according to the monthly
Fifa World Rankings released on
Thursday 17 July 2014.
This is a commendable turn
around for the country after
suffering a marginal drop last month
to position 108 from the 106th
position it managed in May 2014.
Harambee Stars have also
accrued a massive 43 points from
their previous 296 to the current 339
which is a continuation of the trend
that has seen them rise in points for
a second time.
In the CAF region, one of the best
performing teams in the World Cup
Algeria leads the log, same as last
month though they have shed two
points to 872 this month.
Nigeria has registered the largest
improvement to the third place
behind Cote dIvore beating
previous occupants Egypt and
Ghana to the fourth and fifth
positions respectively. This has been
attributed to their impressive form
at the World Cup.
Within the Cecafa region, Kenya
takes a commendable 24th place, up
from position 30 that the country
held in June. The country maintains
the second place behind 20th placed
Uganda while Tanzania, Rwanda and
Ethiopia follow in that order.

SWEET ENCOUNTER
The decision by Muhoro-
ni Youth to hire former West-
ern Stima coach Francis
Barasa two months ago has
proved to be a worthy in-
vestment by the team now in
their second year of top
flight football.
Barasa, who parted ways
with Western Stima due to
poor results, managed to in-
ject confidence in the squad
and, in the process, attained
positive results.
In a period of two
months, Muhoroni Youth, a
team sponsored by Muhoro-
ni Sugar Company, went un-
beaten and were able to do
well even against some of
the leagues top contenders.
But since the second leg
kicked off, the team have
lost all their two matches,
raising panic in their dress-
ing room.
But coach Barasa has
vowed to bounce back when
the team host Sony Sugar to-
day in todays Kenyan Pre-
mier League (KPL) match.
Speaking ahead of to-
days match, Barasa admit-
ted his disappointment with
the recent results.
The team lost their sec-
ond match in a row on Sun-
day after going down 1-0 to
Bandari at Mbaraki Sports
Club, Mombasa.
Previously, they had lost
by a similar margin to
Mathare United at home. He
insisted that the latest re-
sults are not an indication of
the situation in his team.
During both matches,
we possess the ball more
than our opponents, but
were always let down by
poor finishing.
Furthermore, we con-
ceed goals that we should
not have conceeded and we
have to work hard on tight-
ening our back line. We hope
to bounce back against Sony
Sugar tomorrow (today), he
told FeverPitch.
Muhoroni Youth meet a
Sony Sugar side who are
highly-motivated after stop-
ping Tusker 1-0 last weekend
at home.
The sugar millers go into
this fixture with the reputa-
tion of not having won away
since the season started and
could find themselves in a
similar situation.
Elsewhere, there will be
two GOtv shield fixtures to-
day at Bukhungu Stadium.
West Sugar will host Imara
United in the first match
with Homeboyz taking on
Shabana in the second.

INCENTIVES: Lesotho

RANKING: Kenya climbs to

Cecafa has condoled with the Somali
football community following the
recent death of former Somnali
national team captain Aden Shangole.
Cecafa Secretary General, Nicholas
Musonye said they share the grief
with the Somali FA following the death
of Shangole. I join my brothers and
sisters in Somalia in mourning the
death of Aden Shangole, the icon of
Somalia football. Cecafa has received
this sad news and wish to convey our
condolences to the family and the
entire football fraternity of Somalia,
Musonye said in a condolence
message.
Harambee Stars jet out to Lesotho
today for Sundays Africa Cup of
Nations qualier, to face a motivated
side that have been handed an
equivalent of Sh25,000 per player
ahead of the match. The money,
according to Lesotho publication
Sunday Express, is not an allowance
but is meant to motivate the players
ahead of the Kenyan game. Lesotho
Football Association President
Salemane Phafane emphasised the
money was not a bonus but something
to cheer the players with before the
crucial tie. It was not an easy decision
to make, but as the Lefa executive
committee, we thought for a change, at
least lets give you this money before
these important matches against
Kenya. Gilbert Wandera
Harambee Stars have got into the
top 100 position in the latest Fifa
rankings. Coming ahead of Sundays
Africa Cup of Nations qualier against
Lesotho, the latest rankings will be a
big boost to the team. The team leaped
13 places up in the rankings compared
to last month and now stand at position
95. It could be as a result of the team
not going down in their last three
matches. Last month, they edged out
Comoros in the preliminary xture of
the Africa Cup of Nations qualier after
winning the two legged afair 2-1.
This week Harambee Stars were held
to a barren draw by Burundi at Nyayo
Stadium. Kenyas opponents Lesotho
are ranked at position 131.

f you havent checked
out the new Willy
Paul Msa and Size
8 hit collabo Tam
Tam, then you are
denitely missing out.
Not so many people saw this
one coming. The lyrics are
tied around a well thought-out
storyline; Size 8 takes up a
big sister role to advice Willy
Paul on matters marriage
after a would-be agonising
time looking for the right life
partner.
Convincingly, Msa works out
everyones emotions and
seemingly parades the entire gospel fraternity around
himself, cleverly giving shout-outs to most of the big
ballers. He even draws in President Uhuru Kenyatta,
Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyokas names into the
narrative in his song. And there is no going wrong as
Size 8s mellow voice compliments Msas Bongo
touch to make what will no doubt be one of the
biggest hits this year.
Give it up to him, besides the little controversies that
keep stalking his singing career, Msa is dening his
position in the local showbiz scene and his mature
singles whose themes appeal to the masses always
lift him above the mucky waters. And dont be fooled,
the bad-boy demeanour is working for him.
This time, he is picking on a real issue affecting the
young man today. The lyrics touch on sex at a time
when the government and the stakeholders in the edu-
cation sector are held in a rather unlikely debate; that
of condoms to school pupils. It is the kind of motion
most parents like to shy away from, yet more than
ever before, hundreds of teenagers are indulging in
sex, many dropping out of school due to premature
pregnancy while others are contracting sexual
transmitted diseases. I think there is a genuine need
to have this sex matter discussed outside the closet.
Boldly, Pulse covers this issue that makes for our Cov-
er story today.
Mirfat has nally opened up about pregnancy claims
and gospel number one Rufftone, talks about his
coming marriage.
Talk is cheap, ip on!

CLUB REVIEW
VIDEO review
Video Review
T
he video begins with alluring
and strikingly lower angle
walking shots of Size 8 and
Willy Paul getting out of an
elevator. This initial scene is
then swiftly followed with shots of celeb
couples packed in a dinner setting; a
colourful setting with well-dressed charac-
ters.
Though not an ingenious concept, the two
artistes vocals blend in well and the
alliterations in the words making the duo a
perfect match. The video is well scripted and
its storyline commensurate with the images
in the entire video.
The clarity of images is superb, with the
colourful themes and well done makeup
making the video a joy to watch.
Withstanding the fact the clip is shot at a
single location the director manages to play
around with the different shooting angles
making the video pleasantly entertaining.

Smallz Lethal
Pulse: How well is Raj in rhyming and telling stories in Kisii after
years of living in Nairobi?
Smallz: For someone born and bred in Kisii, he sure fumbles a lot while
speaking. He has to write it down rst like a pre-school kid to rhyme in
it.
P: If given a chance, what would you change on his rough gangsta
image?
S: I would drop the skinny jeans and Versace tops. His closet game is
wanting. He apes Kanye too much which is alright, except Kanye is
married to a real life socialite and not dating a MKU
fresher.
P: What pick up line do you suppose he would use on a
Kisii girl carrying a pot full of water from the riv
er?
S: Baby, inaki ogoteba (unasemaje) naeza kupele
ka kwa mami kisii, chini ya maji Gusii? He is a
mamas boy. His ideal date for any hot chic is a
sit-down with his mum.
P: If it were up to you, how would you style
his hair?
S: Jordan kipara ngoto. Honestly he is still in campus,
that old school look will suit his struggling music
career and campus look at the same time.
P: What is the wackiest line that Raj has ever come up
with that you have heard in any of his songs?
S: Napenda ngoma, na hii si bomba, so ni boma... from
the Nafsi Huru track in Friday After Class mixtape. What in
hell was that? I have tried to get it in all possible ways, I am
still scratching my head months later.
P: What do you make of his Illuminati antics of last year?
S: It was a desperate wannabe cheap move. Im glad he grew out
of it. Way to go champ.
Pulse: How well is Smallz in rhyming and telling stories in Kisii after a
many years living in Nairobi?
Raj: Smallz ni mshamba amelelewa ocha therefore he is pretty good at
it. He is a pro.
P: Given a chance, what would you change on his rough gangsta
outlook?
R: Shave his dirty Mau Mau locks, denitely.
P: What pick up line do you suppose he will use on a Kisii girl carrying a
jembe from the shamba back in his village?
R: Most likely he will steal one of my lines; Nina ndizi kwa toja, vioja,
ukionja kimoja ni voucher ni gift toka ocha.
P: If it were up to you, how would you style his hair?
R: Jordan. So that he looks like the young man he is.
P: What is the wackiest line he has ever come up with that you have
heard in any of his songs?
R: On his song Praise God he says, God created everything but me
and judge. What in hell?
P: What do you make of Shimoli-like Gangsta outlook of last years?
R: It was lame.
Smallz brings his local
A-game to the table.
Raj comes off as rather
mediocre with light punches
here and there. Smallz
takes this 2-1 in overtime.

t looks like no one enjoyed team
Germanys 2014 World Cup win more
than Rihanna.
While attending the nal game of the
World Cup Sunday, the 26-year-old
singer got so excited over the soccer match that
she lifted up her shirt to ash some skinand her
brato the crowd. Dressed in black and white
sports gear, Ri-Ri showed of her black bra and
cleavage in celebration of Germanys win over
Argentina.
During the match, Rihanna also posed with fellow
celeb attendees like Adriana Lima, David
Beckham and Gerard Butler. She captioned one
shot of her and Lima with,
My fav came to say hi! Love this chick @
AdrianaLima.
But Rihannas celebrations didnt stop in the
stands of the stadium. She got to meet the sexy
German soccer stars later that night at Budweis-
ers Bud Hotel party and even got to hold the cup.
She posted a bunch of photos on Twitter while
celebrating with team Germany in Rio.
In one shot, she holds the golden trophy while
getting kisses on her cheeks from Lukas Podolski
and Bastian Schweinsteiger. In another, she
ashes a giant smile next to Miroslav Klose.
She also posted,
I touched the cup, held the cup, kissed the cup,
took a sele with the cup! I mean...... what is your
bucket list looking like bruh?
With Ri-Ri, one always knows that its a party

MIRFAT: PREGNANT?
NOT ME
L
ike her or hate her, Susan Mirfat Musa, the
young beauty who became famous for her
awkward spat during an appearance at the
Tujuane dating TV show, is always rich
fodder for prowling paparazzi.
Forget the shocking episode that ran last year, soon after
she came out admitting her affair with a chain of celebrities
before another damning rumour; that she was dating a man
nearly thrice her age. Now Mirfat is back with a new stir.
It has nothing to do with Shafe Weru and Nick Mutuma,
the two top celebrities she had been said to be warming up
to. It is a pregnancy claim with the same man who
introduced her to celebrity hood that night she told her date
that she does not eat French fries on live TV .
I dont understand. You want to tell me that story is still
on, she reacts and so with a laughter as we start off with
this interview.
To be honest it started after I was spotted with a white ball
gown during a night event. At the time I had a tummy. But
does that conrm I am pregnant? I mean, that was last
year. Are you suggesting I have another pregnancy now
(eight months since the rumour broke), she jokes.
On the night when the rumour started, Mirfat looked really
heavy and she kept to herself for the best part of the night.
Speculations of the said pregnancy grew after she went
under. Many thought she was hiding from the public.
It was around the same time when Pulse established that
she was working closely with Bernard Kioko of Bernsoft,
whom we now conrm is still working with her to date.
I dont know why everyone out there is thinking I am
pregnant. I have heard all sorts of rumours but I am now
conrming that I am not. I am not expecting anyones
baby, she goes on.
It is true that the rather social beauty fell out with the man
she had been said to be dating early this year but that does
not mean she is single as she has gotten herself a new
catch.
It is true I am dating but the affair has nothing to do with a
celebrity as many have been speculating, she remarks,
ruling out former Big Brother Africa Kenyan representative
Malonza Chege, the man who some claimed is her current
boyfriend.
She was in a relationship, but it is no more, for two months
now, a source told Pulse, conrming that since, she has
moved on.
I am not disputing that I am seeing someone. The thing is
I want to keep it private so I wont comment further, Mirfat
counters.
Currently, I am focusing my energies on TV having
auditioned for several shows including KTNs Str8Up as a
female co-host. I am into TV production and I have taken
up a production role in KTNs Jaza Mistari karaoke show,
she volunteers.
The show that is hosted by Debbie Asila is a production of
Bernsoft, and that just conrms her Bernsoft link.
Since she burst into public limelight
through the Tujuane TV dating show,
controversy has continuously stalked
the sassy Susan Mirfat Musa. And
reacting to the current pregnancy
rumour, she tells Pulses ESTHER
MUCHENE; Yes I am dating but
pregnant, that aint me.

SCENE AT
W
elcome home.
That was Thursday jioni wen I
landed at JKIA to be met by my
missus le Sharonova, much
missed in Munchen, twas a
straight dash from da airport to Westlands where the
re-launch of Smirnoff Ice waz takin place @ Hidden
Agenda (no tyme even to pitia South C, like the late
KRupts song, to drop my Munchen baggage). Downstairs
we ran into alumni Pulser fashionista Wairimu Githuka, n
upstairs the well-known gay lady boy Jaffar, whom I taught
kizungu wen he was in Praimo. (I got no probo wit da
homos). Jaffar waz hangin out, tho, with this hawt Indian
chiquitta (watt a waste of resources)! I met the chap who
had e-mailed me in Munchen about the event, Baron
Byron Osir, be4 Sha and Smitta were taken to table by our
cool host Wayne Wonder Fernandez n treated bitings.
Smirnoff tsar Evanson Mogekoyo Mbugua then came by
with a whole six-pack of the new tasty stuff, n Evanson, he
truly is tha coolest. After a bit o Smirnoff n shisha, I rocked
to the Hidden Agenda arena where tha excellent deejay
crew was having Pulsers do a dance burn out (n I remem-
bered da Smirnoff dance days, when we grooved ourselves
out);-) Pulse crew ka Kevo na snapper Davie were in the
house, n we hugged like long lost bros, which we are.
Leakey Odera, with his funky Marxist beard, was also
around, having organised the Smirnoff hostesses. As the
song tuendee tukawake, huko Nairobi West came on, Big
Ted Kwaka in an expe suit came to table, n we kumbukad
the days back in Weo n how far everyone has come/gone.
Certainly Big Ted has blown, with his State House Events
organiser position. And David cheekily aksed him: So
when is Pulse meeting President Uhuru? Friday (Serena in
italics) Nexx day after journey recoveries, twas jioni n time
for me, Sharonova n Jerry Cecil, to roll to Serena for the
Longhorn book launch of Julius Kianos Quest 4 Liberty
(the wife Jane K wud later dat weekend meet Prezo Uhuru
in State House, n present him with a book copy, I pre-
sume). I stood n chatted with Longhorn writer Kinyanjui
Kombani, my fellow PEN-man Alex Nderitu n award-winning
editor Nganga Mbugua, n of course our chit-chat was
cheeky, n our banter witty, ti hi. Githu Muigai, fresh from the
Hague, waz one of the VIP guests. We layter made our way
to The Man of the People, and he tole Sha how he tried to
instruct me in the ways of the Law, but I wandered off into
literature. Twaz attering to hear the AG say he is a fan of
my Men Only column on Sato (which is why Ive men-
tioned him on Scene@, to recruit him to Furahidayz. We
chekad kidogo how I had bashed one Dr Joyce Nyairo the
week before for daring to try sully the jina of the late great
Geoffrey Grifn, for whom we are still a-grieving nine years
after demise. (My high school pal Mark Mutua, engineer,
also passed on near two weeks ago in a road crash, so

tell stoodies to put away their Family Law notebooks coz
divorce is trench warfare n how he wud swing his BMW
keys in class n say, some of yu are only doing this course
becoz yu imagine, one day, yul own car keys like this. But
the Law is about making yur mind a German machine.
Wen I reminded the AG of this, he laughed, said: You must
be my second generation student. Wen I rst taught, I
drove a funny car n dispensed not wisdom but BOOM
TWAF from my car stereo. We then chatted with publishing
kingpins Musyoka Muli (Longhorn MD) and Larry Njagi (of
Mountain Top publishers), even as I envisioned my
supremo chicken lunches with Phoenixs Mwazemba @

NAIROBI NIGHTS
ANNOYING NAIROBI CLUB HABITS
W
hen a waiter cheats
a customer
You are in the club having
fun with your friends and
when time comes to leave,
you ask for the bill and all you see is shocking.
The waiter or waitress has doubled the bill by
Sh4,000 or even Sh6,000. She insists that it is
the right amount until you start breaking it
down. Then is when you discover that no one
on your table had a bottle of Balozi or even
those three kilograms of meat added there. The
attendant retreats again and says; Wait, let me
go conrm. In another minute he or she comes
back with the correct bill...and so with no
apology.
When the bouncer asks for a tip
You are going into the pub and the bouncer at
the entrance looks up and demands to see your
personal ID. That is when you discover you
have left it at home. He shakes his head, telling
you you are under age (even when he can still
see your overgrown beards). He then whispers;
Nipe yangu uingie. By then, you know he
wants a bribe. And in case you dont let his
wish, woe to you, dont even imagine what
force he will use to throw you out.
Girlfriends who bring entire clan
So you have asked this girl out on a date and
she is game. But when she gets to the night
spot, she is accompanied by six other friends,
all strangers! She introduces them to you and
ask them to sit and ask for their favourite
drinks. By the time you are done with the rst
round, your wallet is totally washed. That is
when you decide that something has come up
and you have to leave immediately.


Kamau, then chat heartily with dear amicus Sheila
Mwanyigah, who is now the ofcial choice as MC for smart
publishers during book launches.
First big up to Safari of Georgetown
Travels in tao who facilitated my ar-
rgts for multiple Deutscheland vis-

Pulse: You are a producer, DJ, musician, composer,
instrumentalist and the list goes on. What cant you do?
Kagwe: Its never a good thing to be comfortable with your
strengths so I believe in pushing myself every day to not only
try something new, but become excellent at it.
P: You went as far as studying music at the University of
Southampton. Was this something you always knew you
wanted to do?
K: I always knew that music was in my soul and thankfully
the people around me have always supported my goals and
vision in my pursuit of happiness.
P: Having had the chance to live in different continents, what
is your opinion of our music industry?
K: I love all that comes with the music industry. In the last
few years we have seen Kenya being recognised for its great
art in many facets. Given the right amount of work and
support from corporates and the government, Kenya will not
just be thrown into the box that we now call world music; it
will stand against the rest of the world as a force.
P: Many artists have experienced resistance from parents
who preferred they undertake serious degree programmes
and different career paths. Was this your case?
K: Not at all! People often ask me, your African parents let
you do music as a degree and career? and my response is
always a chuckle and a Yes sir! My mother encouraged my
musical growth, taking me for music lessons, gigs and she
even introduced me to musicians in her network.
P: How did it all start?
K: My rst song was an Afro-house track I released in 2010
called Chips Funga. It talks about not being a chips funga
especially as a guy, which is a message that most men dont
talk about.
P: Who recorded it?
K: Trust you me, I did it at my makeshift studio, which also
turns to be my mothers kitchen pantry.
P: You have a way with getting the message out in your
music. Was your song Bad Girls based on a true experience
or do you just love bad girls?
K: Believe it or not, its actually not about bad girls. I use
bad as a euphemism for good and girls for Africa. It
appreciates two things; that I love my continent and women.
P: You are the genius behind Sauti Sols Nishike hit track...
K: Yes, I am actually the producer of Nishike. The publicity it
received was not unexpected nor was it new. Its a brilliant
piece with fantastic artistes pushing the boundaries for the
purpose of industrial growth. It may
have been controversial but so was
lipstick at a certain time.
P: Is that sort of controversy the direction
our local industry is taking?
K: It is all but a matter of public perceptions. Like
I said, women who wore lipstick in public were at
one point frowned upon being reserved for prostitutes
and the decadent. But lipstick doesnt have that
association attached to it anymore and in the same way,
we will soon evolve and our perceptions will too.
P: Besides being the success behind great hits by
known Kenyan artistes among them Eric
Wainaina, Muthoni the Drummer Queen and
other prominent names, you are venturing into
the world of acting. How is that treating you?
K: It is all great. Lifestyle was my rst screen
act. I had done plays in the past and I guess
screen acting is the natural progression. I
loved the entire thing. It was stressful like you
cant believe but thrilling nonetheless.
P: You have accomplished so much at a
young age, how is it that Kagwe is not yet a
household name?
K: Well that depends on whom you ask.
Different people know my brand for different
things. There is more to come. Ask me this same
question in three months.

of mind
I
had just landed a big contract and I was so excited
as it was one of the biggest investment bids I had
ever received a nod from. Feeling rather happy, I
decided to celebrate with a couple of my friends by
throwing a bash. I must admit, I really drained a bit
too much. At some point, I needed to use the washroom but
upon making a knock, someone was already using the
services and was taking too long to nish his business. I was
too pressed and could hardly hold back so I decided to go out
at the balcony where I could do my thing without anyone
noticing. It was only after I had gone halfway my business
that I realised I was peeing on the neighbours clothes on the
hanging line and someone was right there, wondering how I
could make such a huge mess. The rest is history.

CELEMBARRASSING MOMENTS
A date with
my father
I had just graduated from high school and with all the
freedom that comes with that age, I really wanted to experi-
ence the night life every other elder person always talked
about.
On this night, I convinced my girlfriend of three months that I
would treat her out in the best club in town. We were game.
You should have seen how excited I was. Now, leaving the
house was another headache. I had to cook a lie and excuse
myself from my dad who would not let my elder brother go out,
leave alone me. The deal was that I was going for a sleep over
at my cousins place, next estate.
Two hours into my club date, my phones ringtone went on and
guess who was calling; my dad.
Where did you say you were going, he thundered.
At my cousins, I responded with fear, my head buried under
the table.
You come out I take you home, he said to my shock.
He had actually followed me all the way to the club and had
been watching my girlfriend and I do all those...you know what.
As I walked out, his car was right at the entrance. His face was
red.
I am giving you license to party out, but you must grow up. If
it wasnt for that little girl, I would have forced you home. Go
nish with her and get home before it is late, he warned.
I have never felt so silly.
-Moss.
Reporting to the boss
EMBARRASSING MOMENTS
Everyone has a moment they wouldnt like to remem-
ber.... I mean, that embarrassing moment make you wish
the ground would just open up and swallow you
alive. Well, a new journalist was out on assignment. It
was a press conference with this senior policewoman and
the entire media was there to get the big story. He was
feeling real informed and after shooting question after
another, he posed. I need you to go talk to your boss
about these issues, he said boastfully. Which boss, she
reiterated after which the reporter mentioned the title the
policewoman was holding. He was so embarrassed and at
that point, the other reporters started making a fool of him
telling him to do his homework. What a shame he faced
as the senior police boss showed him her badge.

nerability to sexual violence. In campuses however, the
spread of HIV among women has been attributed to the
tendency for women to have sex in exchange for favours
such as gifts, marks and money.
The 2012 KAIS report points out this fact saying HIV preva-
lence is higher in women than men of the between the
ages of 15 to 24.
A news piece in one of the local dailies recently reported
that the high number of new HIV infections in Kakamega
town was attributed to the rise of universities in the town.

alarm was raised by
the National Aids
Control
Council,
which
said
The condom to schools debate wont go anytime soon. Neither will the

legendary rap trio Salt N Pepa stirred up the sex
debate among young people - at a time when few
dared - across the world. The trendy urban unit
had ventured into an otherwise controversial topic
which most parents and religious groups had been shy of.
The songs lyrics were brutally forthright yet witty and
catchy, making it easy to pass the message.
Lets talk about sex for now to the people at home or in
the crowd,
Dont decoy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that aint gonna stop it
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows

How it was, and of course, how it should be
Those who think its dirty have a choice
Pick up the needle, press pause, or turn the radio off
Will that stop us, Pep? I doubt it... the lyrics went.
Decades later, it is with the same unease that the
current condoms debate has been
received. The showdown
between those advocating
condoms to be made
available to school children
and those against the idea
continues to heat up, one
can only wonder who will
carry the day.
The reckless sexual
behaviour by Pulsers in
social parties, school
and other social events
is only a secret to
those who burytheir
heads inthe sand.
The focus has
however shifted-
from them and to
children as
young as ten
feared
cent of these kids had no idea what a condom is, a clear
indicator that they were having unprotected sex. Only 22.1
per cent of those who knew what a condom was and
probably how to use it said they used it every time they had
sex.
It may be consolation- albeit scant- to know that 72.2 per
cent of the 12 to 14 year olds knew where to get condoms
if need be.
Dr Joseph Muleka, a sociologist at the University of
Nairobi, is of the opinion that allowing ten-year-olds to
access condoms and other contraceptives is rather rash.
These are isolated cases so I do not think we should
universalise this: that every ten-year-old is having sex.
Giving them access to condoms is another way of
facilitating the vice, even for those children who
would have otherwise not have thought of having
sex. Their curiosity will be sparked and they will
want to quench that curiosity, he adds.
Ten to 14-year-olds are however not under
the most vulnerable age bracket, which is
15 to 24 year olds; an age bracket
where most college students lie. This
age bracket is most vulnerable to
contracting HIV.
Campus students have been known
to engage in reckless sexual
behaviour with freshers being a
main target.
Different studies have shown that
women are at high risk of
contracting HIV than men due to
different reasons that include
physiological disposition as

to be having unprotected sex.
This reason could be the motivation behind the introduction
of the Reproductive Health Care Bill that wants children as
young as ten to have access to reproductive health
services including the use of contraceptives without the
consent of a parent.
The Bill introduced by nominated Senator Judith Sijeny has
stirred uproar from parents, the church as well as teachers
unions. The sentiment across the board are similar... that
allowing children access to contraceptives will encourage
immorality and it will be an acknowledgement that kids are
having sex.
Whether we like to accept the harsh reality of children
having sex or not; the new Kenya Aids Indicator Survey
report (KAIS 2012) released by the Ministry of Health
recently will burst a few bubbles.
According to the report, 6.7 per cent of children between
the ages of 12 to 14 years old sampled for the report have
had sexual intercourse. The report learnt that most of the
children in this group started having sex when they were
just ten years old.
18.3 per cent of the same age group reported to have had
three or more sexual partners within the time they have
been having sex with 70.8 per cent reporting to have had
only one sexual partner.
These reports are proof that kids are having sex, but
are they being safe? What would drive a ten-year-old,
clearly without the wherewithal to understand the
ramications of sex, to have intercourse at such a
young age?
24.8 per cent of the 12-14 year olds sampled for the
KAIS 2012 report said their reason for having sex
was they just wanted to have sex. 21.3 per cent
said it just happened with 18.9 per cent they
had sex because they
were in love.
5.1 per
most students were having unprotected sex for nancial
favours.
Despite universities having agreed to have a core unit in
HIV/Aids to sensitise the students on the disease as they
start their lives in the university, students continue to throw
caution to the wind.
Solomon Mutembi, a recent graduate, admits that though
his debut to sex was not in campus but in high school, he
did not use protection. The encounter was not planned for
so I did not have time to buy or get protection. In campus I
did use protection, on and off. The use of protection would
sometimes be determined by the girl I was with. Some
would insist nothing will happen without protection and
sometimes I would have sex without protection because the
girl may have agreed to it when I least expected her to-
there is the fear that if you take too long she may change
her mind, he said.
For Lucy Njeri on the other hand, sex is a way to ensure
she has enough pocket money for the semester. She
admitted to having slept with older men some without
protection for money and other gifts.
I do not come from a well-off family and though my parents
pay for my tuition, they barely have anything to give me for
pocket money. I sometimes do not demand that a man uses
protection because I am afraid he will get angry and that
means I may not get what I am after, she told Pulse.
Despite living in the knowledge of the dangerous paths
they tread on, most admit to never have had an HIV test,
whether alone or with a partner.
Solomon for example admitted that he had never had a HIV
test. He however seeks solace in his steady girlfriends
status, which is negative.
Despite the escapades in campus, I nally went steady
with one girl and she recently got tested and it was
negative. That can only mean I am negative as well, he
said.
In a study published in Merit Research Journal of Microbiol-
ogy and Biological Sciences and done by Charles Wasike
on condom use in Mount Kenya University, Nakuru
Campus; 70 per cent of the students sampled used
condoms willingly to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS.
37.5 per cent deliberated on whether to use protection or
not.
The study however revealed the use of condoms declined
in students who had been in a relationship for six months to
a year onwards.
According to Dr Muleka, our behaviour is a product of the
society we live in. We are living in times where our
children and youth have access to all kinds of information.
You may dictate what content your child consumes at home
but you lose that control when your child leaves that door.
We should have candid discussions on matters sex so that
we equip them with information to make the right choices,
he says.
Different reports have indicated that though many
advocate for sex education in school, there are barely
enough personnel trained to take up the task. So
given the statistics between the most vulnerable
group in contracting HIV (15-24 years) and
the debut age group (12-14 years) into
sex and where reports say most
contract
HIV, what strategy should be
used to cover
our bases?
Two wrongs do not make
a right so if children are
having sex, we should
not facilitate it by giving
them condoms, Dr
Muleka concludes.
I do not come from a very well-off family and
though my parents in a way manage to pay for my
tuition, they barely have anything to give me for

his movie shall be remembered as
the last one the famous Paul
Walker did before his death in
2013. He serves as the strong,
stoic centre in a sea of a corrupt
and a rotten government to use his California-surf-
er good looks, quiet calm and strong physicality to
project the image of an appealing and reliable
action hero.
At the lms start, Lino must escape some of
Tremaines (Drug Lord) thugs after stealing a
massive stash of his cocaine and dumping it down
a bathtub. There is a thrilling opening sequence,
which allows the ripped, shirtless Lino to show off
his gravity-defying skills.
He leaps over bad guys, through windows,
down stairwells and across alleys. Their paths
should never have crossed, but when drug kingpin
(RZA) kidnaps Linos girlfriend, Damien reluctantly
accepts the help of the fearless ex-convict, and
together they must stop a sinister plot to devas-
tate the entire city. He teams up with walker, and
they form a team with a double mission. Walker
having been sent by his corrupt superiors, who
have placed a time bomb in the city, has to come
up with a plot to bring them down. Together they
must defy all odds, ght in unison or risk to lose
both the girl and the Brick mansions.
Thumbs up
Brick Mansions offers Paul Walker a bit more
range than hed enjoyed in his previous lms. He
gets to be funny. The routine stunt moves are
exciting to watch.
Thumbs down
The movie is unsurprising and puts all the
energy into jumping from house to house hence
neglecting the content and ow. With great
characters like Paul Walker and David Belle, a lot
is expected and great thrill should be compulsory.
Verdict
This is ultimately a movie about class warfare
and social oppression that is not all science
ction.

career, Tiwa Savage is an awesome singer who also
doubles as a songwriter. This vocally infectious lady
behind singles such as Kele Kele Love has been
tested and proven over time and she seems to have
cut her own niche across Africa. She has been
nominated for a Grammy Awards and is currently one
of the biggest stars from the West African nation.
Waje
Recall that great vocalist in P Squares Do Me hit?
Waje is that girl! After launching her music career in
2005, her breakthrough came shortly with the release
of So Inspired, featuring Muna. Her collabo with M.I.
in the One Naira gave her great mileage and since
then, she has never looked back.
Asa
After releasing her self-titled album Asa in 2007, this
melodious girl has remained focused and she just
seems to win the hearts of many wherever her songs
plays. She is enticing and her passionate voice is her
magic force. Probably you just need to check out her
album Beautiful Imperfection.
Ebisan
Ebisan may not be popular in Kenya but she is one of
the fast-rising Nigerian singers having found her way
into public limelight through songs like Suru and
Dance with Me as well as the award-winning
soundtrack of the 2010 movie Tango With Me. She is
a versatile singer and her single Jowo is currently
enjoying great buzz.
Lanre
Lanre is a talented singer, songwriter and musician.
Her unique sound has been described as acoustic
Soul with inuences from her Nigerian heritage of
storytelling and Folk music.
Nigeria has produced some of the best female musicians in
the past few years, some of whom have become household
names in Kenya. PULSE proles the best female Nigerian
artistes you can bank on

Sun-
day
eve-
ning,
we got a call from singer
Shanky Radics and he is frantically
seeking for attention.
You guys are just talking about Vera Sidika,
Risper Faith and Shafe as the people who
auditioned for BBA. No one is mentioning
me, he says.
You auditioned, we ask the singer.
Yes I did, and I want to give you the
reasons as to why I want to represent
Kenya this year, he remarks.
Before long, he gives us a link to view the
Kenyan BBA auditions and before we can
access it, the clip is pulled off line.
I did not see many celebrities when I went to
auction but am told a number of celebrities
showed up. I not sure is Shafe was one of
them, he remarks.
Even though not a large number of hopefuls
turned up for the Big Brother Africa auditions that
took place at KICC a few weeks ago, it is
becoming evident that a number of popular
names in the entertainment industry showed up
for the selection.Besides, even as the panel of
judges get to the gigantic task of selecting the
Kenyan representative, entertainment funs
seems to have taken sides on who they would
preferred to see represent Kenya in the Big
Brother house.Top in the list are two socialites;
Vera Sidika and Risper Faith. The other names
being discussed in low tones include that one of
Shafe Weru and Jalango as well as that of a
popular fashionista. In the list is also said to be a
popular blogger and a media personality.
I dont want to do BBA this year. I did not
even audition, Risper told Pulse on Wednesday.
On Sunday, Vera reportedly revealed that she
had attended the auditions and that she would
really want to represent Kenya in BBA.
Last year, Veras name had been shortlisted but
the chance was given to Huddah Monroe. Shafe
Werus name had also come up.
According to sources, most of those who
attended with auditions could not justify
why they wanted to represent Kenya
in BBA.
I was asked to name some few
past BBA representatives and
what I remembered them for,
among other questions. There
was no stripping off clothes,
at least, I wasnt asked to do
that, one of the celebrities
who attended the auditions
disclosed to Pulse, however
assurance of anonymity.
Pulse can conrm that majority
of those who auditioned were
ladies of good looks.
It is the rst time BBA is hosting open
auditions in the 14 participating countries
ahead of the show that will have a fresh,
brand new theme. It will kick off on
September 7 and will run for 91 days.
Sources have it that this years version will
feature popular stars and it could be named
The All Stars affair.
They want to make the show more popular
and that is why they could go for popular
faces either in the music and arts industry or
the media, a source told Pulse.
Popular and controversial Ugandan
socialite Judith is one of the Ugandans said
to have been shortlisted along the likes of
Helen Lukoma, actor Marijan Hussein who
features in the Deception series and last
years participant Denzel who thinks his
early exit, last year, was premature.
In most of the participating nations, most of
those who have showed up for auditions
are social publicity seekers who in the run
to the auditions had been seeking social
media attention either by posting nude
pictures on the net or getting involved in
controversial incidences.
Dreadlocked singer Peace Ndlovu aka BaShupi
as well as popular actress Hillary Indi are
among those who auditioned in Zimbabwe.
The continental show is the most popular reality
TV show in the continent and it has been a
showbiz career launching platform for many.

ets look back in 2002 when politics
changed dimensions. In the Ogopa DJ
stable a trio of rappers then known as
Kleptomaniax were hot on the scene.
With their rst string of singles on rotation
in radio, and remembered mostly for their success in the
Kapuka genre of music, which infuses a trip-hop blend of
dance and electronic pop, incorporating major of aspects of
the hip-hop culture.
Their debut album M4E (an abbreviation for Maniax Forever)
was released in 2005. Later that year the group received a
MTV Europe Music Awards nomination for the Best African Act,
an award won by Nigerias 2Face Idibia.
The year 2007 had the group extend their musical reach
further with opportunities arising to perform on tour in the US,
a deal and experience too sweet to let slip.
Skip forward to 2009, the group had a well established fan base
who waited in eager anticipation for the release of their second
album dubbed NITT (Now Is The Time) but were disappointed
after its release once rumours of the group disbanding to pursue
solo careers, surfaced.
From this trio one Collo King wa Rap remains the most visible
artiste. He not only commands the respect of audiences and
music lovers but also of his peers who often call on his star prow-
ess for their hits.
Since disbandment of the group, Collo has honed his writing
skills penning hits for some of the biggest names including Dela,
Kalekye Mumo, Amileena, Brenda, Tatuu and many more.
His latest, multi-genre-infusing single featuring STL and Mimmo,
Floss Na Wewe, was a great hit among his fans. With numerous
collaborations under his belt, his most notable features include
the mega hit Party Dont Stop with Camp Mulla, his P-Unit
collabo, You Guy and Hali Mahututi with Amileena.
Collo was a guest artiste on Big Brother Revolution.
He has toured the world performing in 26 states across the US,
Dubai, South Africa, Nigeria, Qatar, Germany, UK, Switzerland,
Australia, Sudan, The U.A.E and Asia.
Of late, rumours have been ying around that you have been
working with Nyashinski, are there any possibilities of a
Kleptomaniax reunion?
When asked this, he remains coy, only stating that Kelptoma-
niax made history and will always be a brand to reckon with
and they have been working on some projects.
Apart from Collo the musician and rapper/entertainer, there is
Collins Majale, the young entertainment entrepreneur who says
he advocates and celebrates Nairobis youth in sports, arts and
culture. He is, artistically, the creator. The realist.
It is this pragmatist that rates the Kenyan urban music industry
as one that needs work. The commerce beyond the studio
needs to be handled by an entirely different team and not the
creatives. Talent doesnt make money. Money makes money, he
opines.
So after a decade and more in the industry, is there anything this
father of one would love to do different?
Yes... just for once Id love to be the guy behind the camera, he
says.
'NAITWA COLLO'
TOTALRECALL
From his days as a third of the Kleptomaniax, Collo has been a visible
face to reckon with; from numerous collabos, song writing and even
working with other creatives in different projects and as KLEIN KALONZO
learnt, hes not done yet

t is a Friday evening. A group of four friends
are at their hostels. They tweeze one
anothers eye brows and apply nail polishes.
Their hair has been made just the other day.
They don their slightly-above-the-knee new
dresses and couple them with new stilettos and
clutch bags. When starting out in this business, they
used to borrow from one another. But business has
been going on well. They have been trapping rich
men every other week. As the girls make their way
out that evening, it is not only their giggles but aura
of sophistication that lls the air.
Like every other party night, here has always been a
mission. Tact A has been to dress like self-nancing
women. Thats done. Tact B: going to posh clubs
where they would lure rich men. A week ago this
group of girls partied away at a club somewhere out
of town. This night, some posh club in Lavington it is.
On this night, fun might just hit the ceiling. Their
mood exhilarates as they get stares from other men
while on their way to the taxi. They joke that they
want real men; twenty-something year olds are not
nancially stable.
Tact C: Behave like ladies of class. The girls buy
a bottle of whiskey. The songs they dance to and
their composure as they sip away is enough to make
the men around steal glances at their table. They
look happy, the kind whose life motto should be: we
dont need men to enjoy life. What the men dont
know is they are the reason they are in the club in
the rst place. It is a trap
I have seen this happen in clubs. The girls will buy
their rst expensive drink, creating the image of
independent women to attract tasteful men and
well-moneyed men. It is up to the girls to see who
they can roll with, says Moreen Mutethya, a
22-year-old model.
A man would invite the ladies to join his group of
old men who will entertain the ladies for the night.
What these men dont know is that most of these
girls are university and college students who invent
crafty ways to mint money from them. The new
scheme is to look the classy part for the men to
retain the standards.
Some girls prefer to hunt on their own. The girl would
sit alone, drinking her expensive wine as she
pretends to enjoy her company. Cheated by her false
level of sophistication, a man would approach her.
The man brags about how much he is worth. From
the car he drives, where he lives, his endless jobs
and how he can maintain her lifestyle. He orders as
many drinks; he knows he has to keep up or keep
out.
As it turns out, some of these girls get the rich men
from one of their sugar daddies. The girls would each
tell their men to inform them when their friends visit
TRAP TOWN

club and nd a group of classy
looking young girls chilling,
enjoying expensive drinks.
Before you know it, you are
entertaining them and sharing
all your riches. You have been

OWINO explores this new trend
in which university age girls are
milking Nairobis rich men
SECONDFEATURE
the country from abroad. When one man is lucky to
have some of his friends visiting, the girls come with
her female friends as the men promise to make it
worthwhile, reveals a girl who called herself Faith, a
second-year university student.
Worthwhile here means many things: coffee dates, a
full furnished house, camping trips, road trips, ights
to cities within the country, money for upkeep and fun
activities such as swimming.
In another instance last year, a college student was
informed of new clients. It has been the informants
job to hook her up with men visiting the country. This
time, the ve men were from Congo who had their
own families back home. Their business trip led to
other businesses and since the girls oozed class,
they rented a mansion for the ve days they would be
around.
The girl invited her four friends to the mansion and
each had to pick one guy. All they did was to sleep
with them and eat for the ve days then later paid on
the last day, discloses a source who sought anonymi-
ty.
The source concludes: Most of these girls have
permanent sugar daddies on the side, who have been
keeping them well. But when other rich men come
along, they dont waste the opportunity. These girls
believe that their boyfriends are not nancially stable
enough. The rich men make sure she has everything.
The moment one of them stops spoiling her, she
leaves and gets another one.

THE BANTER /
WITH TONY NGARE
STUDSUP
FOOTBALL
MADE IN
GERMANY
G
ermany entered the 2014 World
Cup as one of the biggest
European favourites and lived up to
the pressure by knocking off two
South American teams Brazil
and Argentina to become world champions.
Germany also becomes the rst European side to
win a World Cup on South American soil.
Germany never relied on the lottery that is the
penalty shoot, choosing instead to rmly grab their
chances by the scruff of the neck. It was the
crowning achievement of what has often been
described as a golden generation. But more
precisely, it was the crowning achievement in the
careers of a few individuals and the conrmation
that Germanys goal of talent without end is now
upon us.
The seeds of Germanys 2014 World Cup win
were sown 14 years ago.
At the 2000 European Championship, the
Germans were thoroughly humiliated bowing out
in the group stage, and taking just a point from
three matches behind Portugal, Romania and
England. With few exceptions, the squad was old
and ordinary. Even a 39-year-old Lothar Matthaus
started in every game. But Germany, traditionally
stereotyped as a practical, industrious and
level-headed nation, set out to make their failure
a thing of the past.
It was at that moment that those in power at the
German Football Association (DFB) realised a
radical surgery of football management was
urgently needed.
Something needed to change for Germany to
once again be a world superpower in football. In
December of 2000, the DFB founded the DFL
(German Football League). DFL was created to
operate the two professional German leagues
(Bundesliga One and Two), oversee marketing
and distribute licences permitting clubs to play in
domestic competitions. Rather than hoping for the
stars to align, the league has been proactive and
invested heavily in academies. The words talent
without end are commonly used among the
bigwigs of German football to describe their ideal.
The Talent Promotion Programme was based on
the models of youth development that were up
and running in France and Holland. The DFB
hired 400 additional youth-football coaches, and
then it gave each of its 21 regional associations
around Sh120 million to improve scouting and
schooling at Under-13 level. Finally, the DFB
further invested on 120 youth-football bases
across the country where boys and girls between
the ages of 13 and 17, specically those not
already playing for a professional club, could
work with qualied, salaried coaches. In other
words, it was not so much an elite programme but
aimed at the grassroots level.
The DFL also mandated that all professional
German teams have youth academies. Require-
ments for these academies were meticulously
devised and included everything from coaching
qualications to the number of oodlights around
the training pitches.
The spread of talent in German clubs also means
young players have opportunities to prove
themselves in professional teams. Above all, the
league structure makes Germany an ideal
environment for youngsters to thrive. Almost
every region of the country includes a rst, or
second division club, and the fact that each has a
high-standard academy means few talents go
unnoticed.
Investment increased in academies each and
every year, with an emphasis on improving
coaching standards and focusing on developing
fewer bruisers and more technically adept
players. The result saw the emergence of a
young generation of international German stars,
players like Mario Goetze, Marco Reus, Mesut
Ozil, Thomas Mueller, Toni Kroos, Mats Hummels,
and Julian Draxler.
For Philipp Lahm (31 in November), Bastian
Schweinsteiger (30 in August), Per Mertesacker
(30 in September) and Lukas Podolski (29), the
post-2000 changes were of relatively little
meaning. Those four may perhaps be the last
German golden generation for a long time. And
Sundays match may well be the last World Cup
in which any of them compete, at least as
starters.
The way in which German football has risen runs
in stark contrast to the fortunes of English
football, which continues to falter at the interna-
tional level despite the Premier League being one
of the best in the world. The Football Association
can institute as many quotas on foreign players
as it wants, but that wont solve the systemic
issues plaguing the national team.
In addition, the FA is far too scared to try and
force the EPL clubs into any sort of investment in
youth football that forces them to put aside
individual interest for the greater good.
The DFB, on the other hand, wasnt afraid to be
proactive and take steps that wouldnt pay off
until years down the road. If the Bundesliga clubs
were upset, then that was too bad.
Expecting every country to follow the same
blueprint is impossible, nor is Germanys plan a
one-size-ts-all strategy. However, the basic
tenets are goals every football governing body
should strive to achieve. The fear for the rest of
the world is that Germanys squad was the
sixth-youngest at the World Cup and the
youngest to get past the quarter-nals. This
journey doesnt end here; in truth, it may only be
the beginning. Germanys World Cup triumph was
years in the making, and given the systems in
place, it doesnt look like they will be going
anywhere anytime soon.
One upon a time, talent without end was a far-off
ideal, a theoretical concept that may have
appeared far-fetched. Now, its paying dividends
to Germany in a huge way, as Africans squabble
over players allowances! It is a shame!

M
any are still imagining gospel artistes
will slow down, that secular artistes
will bounce back, that the big buzz is
just a passing cloud. Now, if that is
your school of thought, be warned;
these guys are here to stay.
The truth the secular fraternity is failing to realise is that
gospel artistes are not just that anymore; they are
ministering entertainers who have repackaged their act,
rebranded the gospel face and embraced a contempo-
rary approach, stepping into the same zone secular
artistes used to call their own.
Gospel stars, now by far more popular than secular
artistes and for that matter more acceptable thanks to
the mass and family appeal their songs ooze have
learned the tact; the same Nigerian artistes have used as
their winning formula to hijack the African market, that of
making music that touches on the everyday social issues
affecting the ordinary man, and with that happy-party
feel.
Looking at Willy Pauls new jam, Tam Tam, featuring Size
8 you would know what I mean. Pundits will question
what is so gospel about the beautiful track, under the
same breath they questioned Ringtones Mziki ni Dawa
and Jubilation. They are still making noise about Jimmy
Gait and Papa Dennis Makeke, Size 8s Mateke and
Pistons Lingala ya Yesu the same way they used to
question ladies wearing trousers to church back then.
This is the truth, the same message Jaguar is trying to
give in his Kipepeo song and that Elani has in their Koo
Koo hit track is the same these gospel stars are giving.
They only difference is on how it is being done based on
the lyrics as well as the gospel-secular divide we draw,
sometimes informed by perceptions. It is the same trick
(and it is a good trick) Esther Wahome used when she
did her Kuna Dawa massive hit that ended up in the
disco clubs to a wide condemnation by the church them.
Then, back in 2007, that is when the gospel fraternity
began the grand onslaught, making inroads into the
space secular artistes used to hold. And they seem to
have got them at-footed.
Corporates (and this is where the big money for artistes
is) seem to have embraced gospel stars. Gospel artistes
have formed rm groupings and mapped the space ready
for the take-off as secular musicians continue to beef.
And trust you me, they will come and sing in those night
clubs and all those so-called secular concerts and no
one will ever recall, these are the guys who were limited
to singing in church during the Kasangas date. For this
is a revolution, the Kirk Franklin generation prophesy is
coming to pass.

s it just I or does every girl in Nairobi
consider herself a model nowadays?
You meet a girl from the hood whos
appeared on one music video featuring
a fellow hood rat and, voila, shes a
model. The worst of this group of wannabes has
to be the gullible high school leavers. So just
because they felt they were the ish, perhaps
due to bagging some silly high school beauty
title or the attention they got from randy boys, it
creates this fantasy that entitles them to being,
wait for it, models. They get into a modelling
agency that rips them off with a ridiculous
portfolio for the few lucky ones. When it comes
to hobbies, modelling is always mentioned. So
serious is it that these dummies include it in
their resume while applying for totally unrelated
job positions. Cant forget the girls whove
appeared in a few adverts no one remembers
acting like they are the best thing your eye ever
saw. But the most hilarious ones have to be the
social media models. Her day is spent taking
seles and posting them as she feeds off
compliments from strange men and friends.
Perhaps borrowed from fashion bloggers who
feel they have the model status as they pose in
their little outts and silly poses. Not so behind,
is the facade that every big bootied girl
automatically qualies as a model as has
become the norm with this type popping up from
everywhere using that title. Within the same
league is those girls who have money, live big
yet they dont come from well to do families,
have no jobs or businesses but attribute their
success to modelling. In Kenya? Please! Not
even a kid can buy that nonsense. Yeah right,
miss entre-panua. Then there are those girls
you always see around celebrities, aka
groupies, but they would rather you call them
SO CALLED MODELS

models. Considering how they dress and
behave, they live up to the description of those
girls your mother told you to keep off. Ushers,
oh ushers, you never miss to see them in events
feeling very important unable to walk in the high
heels and short dresses that are made to wear.
But please dont call her an usher. She is a

MINISTER INFECTED
ME WITH HIV
A model enjoying a lucrative job with a leading airline before
a former inuential Government minister asked her to resign so
that he can put up a business for her, is now threatening to spill
the beans on how the mheshimiwa misused her and left her
HIV positive.
The girl who is in her late 20s told a Pulse snitch that she
surrendered her well-paying job after she got pregnant with the
former minister who was back then giving her Sh250,000 for her

known as K1 in showbiz circles, treated a group of celebrities and support-
ers to a great evening of fun last Sunday assuring them he was condent of

They wont steal from me again. This time, we will sail through. That I am
sure, he assured.

big agenda for the youth of Mathare adding that the people of Mathare had
assured him their votes.
OVERHEARD
He rocked controversy about three months ago when he told
Pulse that he was still a virgin at 27 and now, every girl in the
Coast wants to get a piece of Erick Omtere. So could he be
getting bore than what he bargained for? Well, after announcing
that he was recruiting ladies for his new casting agency, the
showbiz newcomer was forced to content with an array of
beauties who dared him to rise to the occasion.
I think they just liked teasing me, the rather humble Omtere
told Pulse.
I was recruiting them for my new movie as well as a model
agency I am running and I just wanted to keep everything
professional, he noted. Omtere, who is also referred as the
King of Facebook in Mombasa is one of the emerging showbiz
faces in the region.
VIRGIN OMTERE
GETS HOOK-UP
A waiter who recently sought media attention claiming celebrated
entertainer Daniel Ndambuki aka Churchill slapped him, has been asked
to apologise to the showbiz guru by his bosses who dismissed the
slapping rumours as false.
After apologising to Churchill for the embarrassment last week, the club
management has now asked the waiter to explain why he wanted to paint
Churchill negatively.
The waiter had claimed that Churchill slapped him over an unpaid bill,
only for facts to surface that the original bill had been topped up with an
extra Sh4,000. He is the one who started the story so let him deal with it.
I dont think I want to comment on this, Churchill told Pulse this week.
Popular socialite Risper Faith has disputed reports that she conned a
former friend of Sh15,000 that he gave her to secure a house the two
were putting up at.
Edward, the man in the mix called the Pulse desk claiming that the
socialite asked him to give her the cash as payment to her landlord (one
Jimmy) only for the landlord to report that he had not received the money
after Risper moved from the Kasarani spot to an uptown Kilimani
residence last weekend.
The truth is that the landlord has my rent deposit and I only picked an
equivalent of the same from Edward as a compensation as I did not want
the long hustle with the landlord. I had been housing Edward, feeding
him, clothing him and God knows what... and I dont see why he is trying
to create a story from nothing.
Asked why she was housing a man, the socialite said: He is a broke a**
n**ga and since he was a friend, I was only helping him get his life
together. How can I date a man who cant afford Sh15,000 rent? He
should stop saying I was dating him. No! I dont date broke a*** men.

SABBYS BOYFIE
After Coastal Films actress Liz reportedly got slapped by sensational
Tanzanian actress Sabby Angel for allegedly trying to steal her boyfriend,
Liz has come out ghting saying: I am not interested in Sabbys boyfriend,
I have my own.
The entire thing was a misunderstanding. The thing is, I cannot stop
another womans man from admiring me but that does not mean I am
interested with him, Liz told Pulse this week, responding to the incident
that took place about two weeks ago during a lm shoot that had to be
stopped for over an hour before the scufe could be contained.
That was a simple hiccup that I and Sabby sorted. It is now behind me,
she added.
