WHEELS OF JUSTICE | Afternoon spent arguing about an adavit led by Cord
Much good-natured banter in court

Its rare humour in the corridors of justice as Muigai takes a gentle dig at retired Attorney General Wako
BY JOHN NGIRACHU
jngirachu@ke.nationmedia.com he real moment of drama at yesterdays pre-trial conference at the Supreme Court in Nairobi arrived about an hourand-a-half into the proceedings. Its source was one-time presidential candidate Nazlin Rajput Umar. She had somehow managed to get into the room and sat somewhere in the back before she saw the opportune moment and surged to the front bench, reserved for the lead lawyers, waving a red volume. She was loud and unstoppable, but the thrust of her argument was that Chief Justice Willy Mutunga is biased in favour of Prime Minister Raila Odinga and should not be on the bench. As she rose, the target of her attacks leaned back in the seat, leaving it to his colleagues, who had said nothing since the conference started, to rebut. Clad in a black buibui and waving her application, she continued talking as Justices Mohammed Ibrahim and Jackton Ojwang urged her to sit down. When the police women approached to remove her, she pointed at them and told the judges she would not be intimidated. It was finally left to Justice Smokin Wanjala to force her to sit down. You have to go by the authority of this court. If you expect justice, justice cuts both ways. You dont come to court by your own justice. This court is ready to listen to all Kenyans as long as they are properly before the court. This is not a
A lot has changed since 2009 though. The judges dont have to write down every word, there are secretaries typing away, everybody speaks into a microphone, every word spoken there is recorded and there is a digital stopwatch in addition to the analogue clock on the wall. In the afternoon, Justice Mutunga advised lawyer Kethi Kilonzo that she need not burden herself with the black gown members of her profession like to wear. The Supreme Court Building is old the foundation stone was laid in 1930 and the institution it hosts has been under constant renewal since August 2010, but the rst hurdle was a physical one. It was clear that the high-powered assembly of lawyers plus the journalists and activists who had converged to witness and report on the historical petition could not all t in the room. Judiciary Registrar Gladys Boss Shollei had to shoo out as many people as she could, saying, as she indicated the gallery: If youre not participating, there is more space up there. She said the judges would not like to have anybody standing in court. Only the lawyers participating could t in the seven benches in the court. Even with every window opened as wide as possible, the heat was still stiing. A good part of the afternoon and early evening was spent arguing about a voluminous 900-page document with an orange cover and a black spine that was an afdavit led by Cord. The lawyers passed it amongst them. The judges will decide today whether it will be admitted. This morning, the lawyers are supposed to agree with the judges on how the 15 hours over the next two days will be split between them. With the events live on television, we have another dramatic week on our hands.

political rally. It is the court of law. You have to abide by the orders that ow from this bench. When she attempted a final surge, he held rm. This court is not going to be held at ransom. You defy that order at your own peril. Before she interrupted proceedings, the rst bite of the cake had been given to a senior member of the Kenyan Bar, Attorney General Prof Githu Muigai. Prof Muigai introduced two words that trended for some time on social media amicus curiae, Latin for a friend of the court. He was granted his request in the afternoon. Prof Muigai likes to speak with much gravity and not many could suppress their laughter when he took a gentle dig at retired Attorney General Amos Wako, who is now a Senator-elect and part of the Cord legal team. In the past, the Attorney General would be required in court, but he never appeared, he said. Kenya has began another week of waiting to know what direction the presidential contest could take. This will be the second suspenseful week of March. The rst started on March 4 and ended on the afternoon of Saturday March 9 at the Bomas of Kenya. From the decision by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission sprang the proceedings at the highest court in the land. All eyes will be focused on a wood-panelled chamber at the Supreme Court Building in Nairobi. Before the High Court moved to Milimani, that room was one of the places the court was convened. It is the same room in which Justice Muga Apondi ruled in May 2009 that Tom Cholmondeley would spend seven months in jail for the killing of Robert Njoya, a stonemason from Naivasha.

PETITION | Judges direct that fresh tallying of results from 22 polling stations be carried out today and results given by tomorrow
Court orders scrutiny of all forms used in presidential election

Mutunga assures all parties that his team will deal with all cases fairly, without fear or ill-will
BY PAUL OGEMBA
pogemba@ke.nationmedia.com he Supreme Court has ordered the re-tallying of the presidential votes in 22 polling stations across the country. In their rst sitting to set the ground rules for determining three petitions challenging the outcome of the presidential elections, the six judges gave orders and strict deadlines by which the parties are to full the courts orders. The judges also ordered a fresh scrutiny of all Form 34 used by the electoral commission in tallying the presidential votes in all the 33,000 polling centres across the country as well as the Form 36s used by the commission in entering presidential constituency results. There shall be a scrutiny of all forms used in tallying presidential results. The scrutiny shall be aimed at scrutinising all votes cast and the registered voters to establish the accuracy of comparing registered voters with votes cast, ruled the judges. All reports and results of various exercises must be led with the court by 4pm tomorrow. Prime Minister Raila Odinga has challenged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commissions (IEBC) declaration of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta as winner of the March 4 presidential elections. Mr Odinga argues in his application that some polling centres had

more votes cast than registered voters and that the commission inated the voter turn out to favour Mr Kenyatta. The six judges Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, Justices Philip Tunoi, Jackton Ojwang, Mohammed Ibrahim, Smokin Wanjala and Njoki Ndungu began the pretrial hearing with an assurance of justice for all parties. Dr Mutunga, the courts president, said the judges were alive to the competing expectations the people had placed on the six judges and that they were fully prepared physically, intellectually and psychologically for the task. We shall treat the petitions with objectivity and undertake a fair analysis of the evidence, the Constitution and the law. We shall render our judgment without fear or favour, devoid of ill-will or aection towards any cause that is partisan, unconstitutional or illegal, the CJ said. It was a day in which the judges allowed Attorney General Githu Muigai to be enjoined in the petitions, dismissed an application by Law Society of Kenya to be enjoined and postponed the decision of a similar application by Prof Yash Pal Ghai of Katiba Institute to this morning. The AG in his application to be enjoined said the Constitution gives him power to defend public interest. My brief is not to support any side but to oer legal advice and bring experience from other juris-
THE ISSUES
What court will rule on

1. The court is set to determine whether presidential election votes were correctly tallied; whether the conduct of the election was free, fair, credible, accountable and transparent; and whether the management and conduct of the election was in tandem with principles of electoral laws. 2. Other issues are whether the IEBC altered tallying of votes and eventual vote percentage in favour of any presidential candidate; whether there was a breach of law and the extent it aected the outcome; whether deployment of technology in presidential election was designed to fail and whether procurement of BVR kits was in violation of procurement rules. 3. Final issues for determination are whether Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto were validly elected; the orders the judges ought to give and whether IEBC ocials committed election oences.

objections from Mr Odingas lawyer, Mr George Oraro, who said the petitions had not raised any complex legal issue requiring the AGs advice. The judges also allowed the consolidation of the three petitions challenging the presidential elections, ruling that Mr Odingas shall act as the lead le. Although the petition by Mr Moses Kuria raises distinctive legal issues, we are of the view that all be consolidated due to the time constraint, they said. The preliminary hearings became stormy when Mr Kenyattas lawyer, Mr Fred Ngatia, led an application objecting to new evidence presented by Mr Odinga. He submitted that the new 900page adavit had introduced an additional 122 constituencies where Mr Odinga claims the IEBC inated the votes cast without giving them a chance to respond. He asked the court to expunge it from the list of evidences. Question is whether the court should allow new evidence led out of time since there was a specic timeline for ling documents. The petitioner had no courtesy even to ask the courts leave to le the additional adavit, he said. Mr Oraro responded that the law does not limit a party from presenting anything supporting its case and blamed the IEBC for the delay in ling the adavit. What we have done is an analysis of the documents IEBC provided. We discovered that the commission deducted other candidates votes in those constituencies and added to the other. How then can we be denied the chance to prove that 11,000 votes were deducted from Mr Odinga and added to Mr Kenyatta with the new discovered evidence? asked Mr Oraro. Mr Odingas application for a forensic audit of the IEBC electronic system was also met opposition from the lawyers representing Deputy President-Elect William Ruto, IEBC and its chairman Mr Issack Hassan. The judges will give a ruling on the two issues today, as well as on an application by a voter, Mr Isaac Aluochier, who has sued the IEBC for accepting the nominations of ve presidential candidates in the March 4 elections.

MIND GAMES | The people who will be in the glare of the spotlight
Lawyers set to steal show in historic case

Kenyas best legal brains lock horns in titanic battle as millions watch
BY MARK AGUTU
magutu@ke.nationmedia.com n the run-up to the presidential election petition hearing, attention has largely been focused on the six judges of the Supreme Court. And rightly so for after all is said and done, it is the six Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, Justice Philip Tunoi, Justice Mohamed Ibrahim, Justice Jackton Ojwang , Justice Smokin Wanjala and Lady Justice Njoki Ndungu who will give a verdict on the petition led by Prime Minister Raila Odinga against President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta. Their decision, expected at the end of this week, will be legally binding to all the parties in the dispute and indeed the entire country in as far as the dispute arising from the election is concerned. However, as is the case with all court battles, the people that Kenyans and indeed the global audience interested in the petition will be hearing and seeing a lot are the lawyers. In their capacities as representatives of the parties involved in the dispute, lawyers are the people charged with the task of advancing the causes of their clients. Throughout this week, every minute and second that the case takes, with occasional interjections and preliminary rulings from the judges, will be a display of the legal shrewdness of the members of the bar as they manoeuvre around the legal mineeld that is the petition. And going by the individuals or parties involved Mr Odinga, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, Mr Kenyatta, Deputy President-elect William Ruto and other applicants and defendants in related petitions the line-up of lawyers does not disappoint. It comprises men and women with impeccable legal credentials, with quite a number boasting decades of experience having honed their skills defending clients in some of the countrys most complicated cases. The bar brims with big names in Kenyas legal profession. These include Mr George Oraro, Mr Njoroge Regeru, Mr A.B. Shah, Mr Aurelio Rebello, Mr Fred Ngatia, Mr Ahmednasir Abdullahi, Mr Ochieng Oduol, Mr Katwa Kigen, Mr Paul Nyamodi, Mr Harun Ndubi and Ms Kethi Kilonzo, among others. Mr Oraro and Mr Kigen were part of an elite team of
Global audience
Ahmednasir Abdullahi The former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) chairman is representing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Isaack Hassan who is the second respondent in the petition challenging President-elect Uhuru Kenyattas victory. Mr Abdullahi also sits on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and played a critical role in the recruitment of judges of the Supreme Court. He is a senior partner in Ahmednassir, Abdikadir and Company Advocates alongside former Mandera Central MP Abdikadir Mohammed.
Fred Ngatia He is representing Jubilee presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta whose victory in the March 4 election is being challenged by the Cord Alliance. A senior counsel, Mr Ngatia is regarded in legal circles as the guru of judicial review cases. He has been the lawyer for the late Cabinet minister George Saitoti and represented him at the Goldenberg Commission of Inquiry which recommended that the late minister should face criminal charges for his role in the Goldenberg scandal. He is also representing former Kenya Power boss Samuel Gichuru in an extradition case. Aurelio Rebello Veteran lawyer Aurelio Rebello is in the team of lawyers representing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in the presidential election petition led by Mr Odinga. Mr Rebello is best remembered for representing Mr Kamlesh Pattni in the Sh13.5 billion Goldenberg scandal. Katwa Kigen He is representing Deputy President-elect William Ruto, who is the fourth respondent in the petition seeking to overturn President-elect Uhuru Kenyattas victory in the March 4 election. He was representing radio presenter Joshua Sang, who is Mr Rutos co-accused in the crimes against humanity cases at the International Criminal Court.
George Oraro The lawyer is the lead counsel for the Cord Alliance in the petition challenging President-elect Uhuru Kenyattas victory in the March 4 election. Mr Oraro is one of the most celebrated lawyers in the country with over 30 years experience. He hit the headlines last year after he successfully defended former Cabinet minister Henry Kosgey in a case at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The court threw out the case against Mr Kosgey due to insucient evidence. He also represented the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) at the Goldenberg Commission of Inquiry.
Njoroge Regeru He is the lead lawyer for The National Alliance (TNA) activists Moses Kuria, Dennis Itumbi and Florence Sergon who are challenging the inclusion of spoilt ballots in the calculation of votes attained by each presidential candidate in the March 4 election. Mr Regeru is a seasoned lawyer who mainly specialises in commercial disputes. He is remembered for representing former Director of Intelligence James Kanyotu in the Goldenberg Commission of Inquiry chaired by Justice Samuel Bosire. Mr Kanyotu had been named at the inquiry as one of the two shareholders of Goldenberg International.
Kethi Kilonzo She is representing the African Centre for Open Governance (Africog) in the petition before the Supreme Court. She has represented retired President Daniel Moi in a case in which he was sued alongside the State by former journalist and Alego Usonga MP Otieno MacOnyango for unlawful detention and torture. The court cleared Mr Moi. She also represented immediate former Wajir South MP Mohammed Sirat in an election. A daughter of senior lawyer and Makueni Senator-elect Mutula Kilonzo, Ms Kilonzo is fast emerging as a promising young lawyer, handling landmark cases in the country.
Line-up does not disappoint
lawyers who did battle at the International Criminal Court defending Kenyans facing crimes against humanity charges arising from the 20078 post-election violence. Some of the lawyers did battle for their clients in the high-profile and engaging Goldenberg Commission proceedings and, later, the attendant court cases that sprouted from its ndings. At some point, AttorneyGeneral Githu Muigai and deputy Solicitor-General Muthoni Kimani are also expected to feature after an application by the AG to be allowed in as amicus curiae (friend of the
court) was yesterday allowed by the Supreme Court. All of them are articulate, battle-hardened litigators who have proved their mettle and can be relied on to eectively handle the high prole case whose outcome is awaited by 40 million Kenyans with bated breath. Though the lead counsel will be charged with actual courtroom engagement, they are not on their own. They are backed by teams of lawyers involved in research. One thing that stands out is that all the parties have chosen homegrown talent, a show of condence in the Kenyan bar.

List of TSC nominees nullied

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The High Court has nullied the contested appointment of members of the Teachers Service Commission. This follows a petition that challenged a re-submitted list of appointees earlier rejected in Parliament. In his ruling yesterday, Mr Justice David Majanja said the submission of a list that contained the names of persons rejected by the National Assembly did not constitute fresh nominations and was therefore a breach of Section 8(II) of the Teachers Service Commission Act and is to that extent set aside. The judge said it was the role of the select panel to pick fresh names from candidates who were interviewed, taking into consideration gender, regional representation and merit. The contested vacancies were for North Eastern, Nyanza and Rift Valley. According to the petition, once the National Assembly rejected the rst set of nominees it was open for the President, in consultation with the Prime Minister, to renominate candidates. This, according to the courts ndings, was not done. The operative word was fresh nominations, the judge said.

DPP stops Kimemia poll rigging inquiry

BY NATION REPORTER
The Director of Public Prosecutions has stopped an inquiry into claims that Head of Civil Service Francis Kimemia planned to rig the March 4 poll in favour of Jubilee presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta. Mr Keriako Tobiko has issued similar orders in favour of National Intelligence Service Director-General Michael Gichangi, Kenya Defence Forces boss Julius Karangi and permanent secretaries Mutea Iringo and Joseph Kinyua. The DPP said yesterday there was no evidence to substantiate claims that the ocials, together with Mr Kennedy Kihara of the Oce of the President, attended meetings where plans for rigging the General Election were discussed. Further, there was no evidence to support Coalition for Reforms and Democracy allegations that Mr Kimemia mobilised the Provincial Administration to campaign for Jubilee, Mr Tobiko said. I have carefully analysed the evidence contained in the submitted duplicate inquiry and considered your recommendation thereon... I am in full agreement with you that there is neither direct nor circumstantial evidence supporting the allegations herein, he said. As a result , the DPP ordered the inquiry file at the Criminal Investigation Department closed. In a letter dated February 19, Cord ocials complained to the electoral commission that some top civil servants led by Mr Kimemia were overtly and covertly manifesting actions aimed at subverting free, fair and democratic elections and inuencing the outcome thereof in favour of one party.
Clerks want election case thrown out

BY NATION REPORTER
The parliamentary clerks have asked the High Court to strike out a petition seeking to stop the swearing in of members of the Senate and the National Assembly. The clerks claim that the case is sub judice because it allegedly raises issues that are currently before the Supreme Court. Dr Calvin Kodongo, Martin Nkari and Ken Orengo led the petition last Friday. They asked the court to stop the swearingin of members of the National Assembly, Senate and County Assembly Representatives elected on March 4. They argue that the Supreme Court may nd that the General Election was conducted using an invalid voter register contrary to the Constitution. The petitioners have told the court that they will also seek the nullication of the Gazette notice that published names of the winners of the elections if the Supreme Court nds that the register was invalid. However, clerks of the two Houses yesterday filed an objection to the petition, terming it an abuse of the court process. The orders sought by the petitioners are based on an ignorance of both the Constitution and the Elections Act.

Minister raises alarm over sexual violence

One in every ve women in Kenya has been a victim of sexual violence, the ministry of Gender and Social Development has said. The number, according to the minister Naomi Shaban, has increased tremendously in the last 10 years. Almost half of the women aged between 15 and 49 have experienced one form of violence, Dr Shaban yesterday told the 57th session of the Status on Commission of Women at the United Nations headquarters in New York. She said a national survey conducted last year indicated that 32 out of a 100 females had experienced sexual violence in childhood. The survey indicated that 18 out of 100 males experienced sexual violence during childhood, she said. The minister further said that Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) was still rampant in Kenya, at 27 per cent. Interventions on strengthening the legal systems to deal with sexual and gender-based violence have been undertaken through the development and implementation of key legislation and policies, she told the session, describing violence against women and girls as one of the most pervasive human rights violations in the world. The minister said the violence was in form of rape, delement, commercial child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, sexual harassment as well as other traditional forms of violence like FGM, widow inheritance and early marriage. Kenyas Constitution provides for the protection of women, men and children from all forms of violence including harmful traditional practices. It provides for freedom from any form of violence either from public or private sources, she said.

A woman who owns the house is also in custody. The childrens mother, Ms Lucy Njeri, said she arrived home from work and found her daughters and her Ugandan househelp missing. She had hired the Ugandan two months ago. Ms Njeri said at her home after being re-united with her children yesterday, that she had spent sleepless nights praying in the company of neighbours for the safety of the children. She said she did not know the househelp well and that the woman had been brought by a mason, who had been working on their house.
Sleepless nights
When the kidnappers made the rst call, I was relieved to learn that my children were alive, but when they demanded Sh20 million I told them we could only raise Sh50,000 and asked them to wait as we looked for more money, said Ms Njeri in the company of her husband, Mr Kanyoro Muturi. She said police advised them not to send the money since they were tracking down the abductors. Mr Kirui and criminal investigations ocer Joseph Murithi said one of the suspects in police custody was a jailbird who left prison recently. He cautioned Kenyans to vet persons seeking employment as househelps because some of them were accomplices of criminals. Mr Kirui said police were looking for two more suspects in connection with the twins abduction.

Foreigners in judge vetting team leave

BY NATION REPORTER
The Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Board has stopped work following the expiry of two foreign judges terms. Lady Justice Georgina Wood from Ghana and Mr Justice Albi Sachs of South Africa have since gone home. Only Mr Justice Fred Chomba, whose term ends in May, is still with the board. Chairman Sharad Rao said the board was waiting for the National Assembly to conrm the nominations by President Kibaki in consultation with Prime Minister Raila Odinga of three new foreign judges and that of Justice Chomba, who leaves on May 31. The board has nished vetting all judges of the High Court and Court of Appeal, including three who are now in the Supreme Court. All but one of the review applications by judges found to be unsuitable have also been concluded. The board will present in due course and at His Excellencys convenience an interim report on the vetting, Mr Rao said. The board has released determinations in respect of 44 magistrates, including those promoted to judges. The board vetted 53 judges and found about 20 unsuitable to remain in oce. It is also scheduled to vet 109 principal magistrates and more than 200 lower cadre magistrates, an exercise that is expected to stretch up to December. Vetting is designed to reclaim the Judiciary and free it from a corruption.

Woman arrested in border bhang nd

Police have arrested a woman on claims of bhang tracking. The suspect was arrested yesterday at Koteko area along Malaba-Bungoma highway while ferrying the drug to Eldoret. She was taken to Malaba Police Station with the narcotic that was packed in a suit case. Teso Police chief Elphas Korir said the bhang worth Sh300,000 originated from Uganda.
In view of the fact that the matter is ready for hearing, it is important that the court preserves the status quo to satisfy itself of the legality of the selection and nomination, a three-judge bench ruled yesterday. The judges declined to extend the order to the Senate and National Assembly as the names had already been gazetted on March 20. THE ACCUSATION

The judges said those nominated to the Senate and National Assembly can only be challenged through an election petition.

Ex-minister says audio tape unclear in graft case

BY NATION REPORTER
An audio recording provided as evidence in a defamation suit against former anti-graft tsar John Githongo is not audible, the court was told yesterday. Former Internal Security Minister Chris Murungaru, through lawyer Kioko Kilukumi, told the High Court in Nairobi that Mr Githongo, the former Ethics and Governance PS, served him with a transcript and a CD containing the recording, but the recording was not clear. Mr Murungaru (right) sued Mr Githongo in 2006 for defamation, accusing him of causing publication of statements linking him to corruption. Mr Githongo, who ed the country and resigned as PS, said some powerful individuals at the Oce of the President were frustrating eorts to ght corruption in government. The minister sued Mr Githongo while he was still outside the country. The hearing was to begin yesterday, but Mr Githongos lawyer informed the court that the former PS would rely on the audio recording in his defence. He asked for an adjournment to enable the defence serve Mr Murungaru with a clear version of the recording.

Mr Kilukumi agreed: It is not just a matter of clarity, we simply cannot hear what is recorded in that tape. And although the lawyer was given a transcript of the recording, he could not tell if the transcript is the true representation of the evidence in the recording. The court allowed the adjournment and directed that hearings begin on May 21.

Kidnap case women face new charge

Two women who skipped bail in a child kidnap case are in custody in connection with a robbery, a court heard yesterday. The women have been on the police wanted list for two months after they failed to turn up for trial for allegedly abducting a child at a Nairobi church. A third suspect ed to South Africa, the court heard. Investigating officer John Shegu told the court that Ms Charity Wakonyo Gathigi has been spotted in South Africa while Ms Judy Wangui Wambui and Ms Monicah Wanjiru Makumi are at Langata Womens Prison in connection with a robbery with violence case. Eorts to trace the rst accused are underway and I request for an extension of her arrest warrant, Mr Shegu said. Raphael Nderitu, believed to be the mastermind of the kidnap ring, is on death row at Kamiti Prison. The gang has been charged with kidnapping a six-year-old girl at Mavuno Church in Nairobis South C and demanding a Sh5 million ransom from her father, Mr Anthony Maina. Detectives traced the suspected ringleader to Kamiti and rescued the child at a rented house in Nairobis Kariobangi estate after a 10-day ordeal.

I handed over my les prematurely to parallel team before pursuing some leads, ocer tells inquest

A lead investigator visited the scene where Ms Keinos mutilated body was found 11 days after the incident and would not safely conclude whether she had been hit by a runaway motorist or killed elsewhere as suspected and the body dumped on the highway. Mr Japheth Maingi, the initial investigator, also handed over his les prematurely to a parallel team and was unable to pursue certain leads to help him piece together conclusive evidence, the inquest heard.

The trac police ocer who visited the scene rst was best placed to know, he added. He recounted how his initial leads pointed to a fatal accident since a witness had claimed seeing a Mercedes Benz, registration number KBM 400H, running over a body.

Give county leaders space to run aairs

overnors-elect will be sworn in tomorrow. However, a crisis is looming over the fact that most of them do not have oces and residences. Although residences may be seen as a second-tier requirement, having oces to operate from is an imperative for the devolved government and must be dealt with expeditiously. Transitional Authority chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi says the oces had been identied, but the governors-elect rejected them because they preferred to take up the premises currently occupied by the Provincial Administration. Looking at the arguments from both sides, it is notable that there is disconnect and this points to a dangerous trend. First, it must be recognised that the country is transiting to a devolved system and governors and the county representatives are the drivers of the process. To carry out their mandate, they must be provided with the resources they need. Second, when the governors-elect cannot get oces to enable them start their operations, what signal does that send to the public? Does it mean that county governments will serve at the behest of bureaucrats from the central government, when ideally, the two should operate more or less independently? It is in pursuit of independence of the counties that the Constitution spelt out what nancial allocations they should get from the national revenues collected every year. Obviously, the central and county governments must work together, but the latter must have the leeway to conduct their business without being beholden to anybody. Given that county governments have to start operation, it is critical that the oces, residences and their nancial allocations be provided as a matter of urgency.

Vet sta for Lands team
he National Lands Commission, which was set up recently, has raised issues about its stang. The chairman, Dr Mohammed Swazuri, has said that the commission will vet employees seconded to it by the Ministry of Lands, which has the dubious distinction of being a haven of graft. Suspect land allocations, issuance of fake title deeds and shadowy deals thrive at the ministry. This was the reason why the commission was set up in the rst place. The ministry had failed in its mandate, hence the need for an independent institution to eectively handle land matters. The commission has wide ranging powers, including managing public land on behalf of national and county governments, and addressing historical injustices arising from land tenure. A new institution like this requires fresh ideas that cannot come from those who are entrenched in the old and corrupt way of doing things. Certainly, it requires experienced people and the obvious source would be the Ministry of Lands. But those seconded to it must be vetted. The commission must start on a fresh slate and that means avoiding recycling old structures and systems.

ith all the dark and depressing politics that refuses to go away, Kenyans enjoyed a weekend of sunshine, courtesy of great sporting performances on the world stage. The Kenya rugby team reached the semi-nals of the Hong Kong leg of the IRB Sevens, besting powerhouses such as South Africa, England, Australia, France and Samoa. The national football team, Harambee Stars, usually has much to be modest about, but in the dusty Nigerian city of Calabar, our boys deed the bookies to hold the fabled African champions to a 11 draw. That was a stellar performance against a team that usually humiliates us on their home soil, and most signicant was that Kenya was heading for an improbable victory before the hosts snatched a late equaliser in the dying seconds of extra time. We proved that Kenya is formidable in more than just Twitter wars and that now famous #someonetell nigeria hashtag. And then onto Poland. My colleagues from NTV and Qfm have ignored my earnest entreaties for some lessons on how to pronounce Bydgoszcz, the town that hosted the World Cross Country

Championships. That is where Kenyan runners took three of the four individual gold medals on oer and two of the four team golds. The Kenya National Anthem playing time and again in that place where many of our tongues dare not attempt surely brought tears to many eyes. Emily Chebet, Japhet Korir, Faith Kipyegon, Francis Kahata, Arnold Origi, Willy Ambaka, Dennis Ombachi and all the other great ambassadors who brought glory we all revel in did not compete as Luo, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luhya, or any other ethnic group. They did not train on behalf of Raila Odinga, Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto, Kalonzo Musyoka or any of the myriad politicians who seek national leadership. Our heroes and heroines did not travel to Bydgoszcz, Calabar and Hong Kong as emissaries of Jubilee, Cord or any of the hodgepodge parties within the bigger groupings. They went as Kenyans, competed as Kenyans and won as Kenyans. *** Im beginning to miss Dr Alfred Mutua. The fellow who established and dened the Oce of Government Spokesman often came out rather too shrill for my liking. His hectoring and nger-wagging got on my nerves, but he at least knew how to smile and to engage his audience. Many of us may have had our ll of Dr Mutua, now governor-elect for Machakos, when he presided over those weekly press conferences, but now have to concede that he was not too bad, after all, seeing as what we have now. I have nothing personal against Dr Mutuas successor. I always saw Mr Muthui Kariuki as a pleasant and welcoming chap during his prior engagements in the public relations and corporate communications world. I fear, however, Mr Kariukis new assignment as Government Spokesman in the dying days of the Kibaki administration has unleashed an ogre in him.

Power sometimes does strange things to people. In Mr Kariuki we are not now seeing the aable and communicator who could sell truckloads of Tusker Lager to the Temperance Movement, but a perpetually angry spokesman who wants to forcefully ram stu down our throats instead of applying tact and persuasion. I dont know why I see in the new Mr Kariuki a reincarnation of the Shari Nassirs, Kariuki Chotaras and other self-appointed Nyayometers of the repressive Moi kleptocracy. Or, going further back, the Kihika Kimanis and other bullies of the Kenyatta era. I cant for the life of me gure out why a generally likeable chap can transmogrify in such a radical fashion. At this time of transition, I can only surmise that many in government are hedging their bets on a new administration that may come into power; one that reverses time to the repressive and dictatorial ways where warnings and threats were the preferred modes of governance. And those who failed to toe the straight and narrow path, naturally, were ushered into the aptly-named Nyayo House torture chambers. mgaitho@ke.nationmedia.com

HIGHWAY ORDEAL. There is something shy about the arrests of motorists on the Naivasha highway for alleged speeding, says Suraj Shah. He says he fell victim last October and it was not until six-and-a-half hours later that he was released. His main grouse is that there was no proof of speeding. But it is your word against theirs. The policemen are rude, not to mention the most out-dated court procedure and payment of nes. Somebody should investigate this, urges Suraj, whose contact is suraj@surajshah.co.ke. POLICE THE OFFICERS. Also still smarting from an ordeal in the cells is David Kimeli. The police ocers manning the highway, he claims, have become a menace to motorists. He would like the InspectorGeneral of Police, David Kimaiyo, to check and take appropriate action as soon as possible. Either the new trac laws are not understood or the implementation requires a review. Why should a motorist spend four hours behind bars for such an oence? What is the proper procedure if one is caught speeding? His contact is watunu@gmail.com. WHERES THE CASH? Some apparently straightforward matters can be very frustrating, as Stephen Okumu, a graduate of Kenyatta University, has found out. After earning his Masters degree in June last year, he applied for a refund of his caution money of Sh2,000. To date, he has not been paid. The university will not allow you to sit an exam with any fee balance, why cant it exercise similar strictness in processing refunds? He says this is rather poor for an ISO-certied institution.

LEADERSHIP | Morara Ongaga
s governors prepare to take oce this week, they will have to confront and address a wide range of management issues. First, the transition is the critical period between the election and inauguration, when the focus shifts abruptly from campaigning to governing. To get ready to govern, the governors-elect must first organise a transition team to coordinate and implement the transition. The governorselect must also determine their roles in the transition and with the transition team, including involvement in critical activities and decisions, such as appointments and budgets. Competent and loyal personnel are key to governors ability to lead and manage county governments. The recruitment and selection of gubernatorial sta and appointments to Cabinet positions will largely determine the success of governors and their administrations. Members of the governors sta should have several attributes in common, including loyalty to the governor, competence in their areas of responsibility, political acumen, and dedication to service besides the personal and professional qualities that warrant their appointment to these important positions. Yet well-qualied sta do not necessarily make a good team. Building an effective team
Governors must hire right teams and push appropriate policies to transform counties A
strategy can help build public confidence in government , increase the publics attention to issues and galvanise support for the governors agenda. The governor must organise an effective policy apparatus that helps refine his or her vision, lays out the options for action and devises a strategy for communicating intentions and results. Under a variety of labels and initiatives, governors will be working to initiate a culture of county government which should be a high-performance workplace. The bottom line is to help make government services simpler, faster and more costeective. There is no cookbook of recipes from which a governor can choose to improve service quality. Approaches can and should be tailored to fit the experiences, challenges and management philosophy of each governor. From the lessons learned from State governments in the USA, governors who have pioneered major quality initiatives, the most critical factors for success include: Ensuring the governors personal commitment and involvement; establishing partnerships with key stakeholders; using structures to help steer and support the enterprise; building early successes and rewarding them; developing capacity within and focusing on results.

takes time and eort from the team leader as well as the team members. An immediate challenge for new governors is to convert the promise of the campaign platform into a working set of policies for the county. Finding a way to put the incoming governors imprints on existing policy is part of the job. More important is the task of translating the governors mandate from the voters into a framework for action. Governors face important challenges as they attempt to build awareness and acceptance of their agenda. They need to crystallise what that agenda should be and how they will pursue the dissemination of their message. An eective communications
The governors primary role in all matters of governance is leadership including the improvement of the quality of service. In launching or expanding a quality initiative, the governor must want to do it and must be involved in the process. To sustain these eorts, the governors commitment must be real and reinforced by words and deeds. This requires far more than lip service or photo opportunities or occasional accolades. It requires a fundamental commitment to core values in how the business of government gets done. Successful executives, including governors, focus on results. This means identifying goals and desired outcomes, providing the tools needed to achieve results, holding people accountable for results, measuring progress as best as possible and staying focused. If the bottom line for improving service quality is to help make government services simpler, faster and more costeective, then this indeed is a formidable undertaking. Transforming county government into a highperformance workplace is an enormous challenge, but impressive results await those who stick with it.

Time for Africa to dene diplomatic agenda

he newly endorsed Chinese President Xi Jinping is on a visit to Tanzania, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo on his rst African tour. His visit to East Africa comes at a time when political rivalry in Kenya has given the East a totally new meaning: A place to take refuge from the Western value system whenever it is not in favour of the socio-political and economic status quo. Mr Jinping visits a region which in the late 1890s sought refuge in British and German citadels from slave traders and the intolerable tyranny of war-like tribes. The Chinese presidents visit comes at a time when Africa is faced with a great dilemma. The continent is under the rm grip of donor countries (especially the West) who control its strategic agenda. On the other hand, the continent is experiencing a surge in Chinese donor money as the Asian giant is keen to gain a rm grip on Africas natural resources. Africa is undergoing a crisis of ideas and institutions. Having put little or no investment in indigenous thought leadership, the continent risks becoming a battleground for competing global ideological interests once more. The resultant eect will be continued incoherence; being bogged down by numerous interests; balancing between its

nation-state interests and pressure from competing global interests. The Washington consensus paradigm on unconditional markets that shaped globalisation is now competing with the push for governed markets. Countries from the South that were mostly recipients of policy prescriptions from the North are angling for the reform of international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the World Trade Organisation and the United Nations. The recalibration of global powers that have dominated Africas worldview for centuries is a scenario Africans must prepare for. The ongoing global policy changes are likely to open up space for a more democratic global governance system in international nancial institutions, justice systems (as in the International Criminal Court), trade and security. Africa must rethink the proposition that
it is in a global village (a low risk space) and wake up to the reality that it is in a global jungle or high risk space. The continuous erosion of national sovereignty by global issues such as migration, climate change, energy security, maritime pollution and international trading systems, among others, further makes it urgent for African countries to rethink confronting the world as individual entities. To the Kenyan political elite and Africas in general oscillating between global power interests does little to prepare a generation that can seek to increase productivity; it instead yields a middle class keen on consumerism. The culture of seeking refuge in new systems without trying to evolve Africas own is what has made the continent an underdog for centuries. This is not the time for Africans to play East and West; it is time to invest in skills and navigation tools to tap from both. President Xi Jinpings visit should inspire all Africans to reect on the wisdom of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghanas founding president, who once said: We face neither East nor West; we face forward.

TALKING POINT
Nairobi Governor, please take traders as worthy partners deserving respect

s an investor in the city, I would like to engage our governor on how not to treat businesspeople and residents. The relationship between investors and the county government should be cordial, symbiotic and aimed at development. By-laws should not be punitive, negatively targeting businesses. For instance, why cant business licences run for 12 months rather than be pegged on a calendar year? If I open a business in August, Ill be more tempted to bribe the inspectors for the remainder of the year rather than pay the full licence fee for the full year but actually covering only a quarter of the year. The city council has over the years perfected the game of dealing with investors as if they are a nuisance. Please change this, Dr Evans Kidero. When the city council failed in its re ghting capability, it passed a law requiring all businesses to equip themselves with re extinguishers. That was transferring responsibility, but for the sake of protecting our investments, we fullled this requirement. But how can we justify the fact that the city council also decided to charge a fee for inspecting the re extinguishers? Is this not strange, where a governing entity charges investors for its failure? Mind you most res occur at night when we have closed our businesses, rendering these fire extinguishers redundant. Also note that res also occur in homes and

The level of fanaticism exhibited by some of these characters is insane and unreasonable. The scariest part is that most of them argue from the highest point of ignorance. Individuals abuse each other based on their ethnicity. Lets realise we are one. MURUGI NJAGI, Nairobi MOVE DUMPSITE: After lamenting for long, people naturally begin accepting the status quo. This happens after their pleas for change go unheard. Although our environmental watch dog, Nema received a pat from Evans Wangotu for enforcing order on campaign posters, the institution remains a toothless dog. Recently the story of a Nakuru dumpsite, Giotto, with no borders was all over the news. That saw a temporary remedy by the relevant authorities but with time all things have gone back to the same old script. JAMES WAKIBIA, Nakuru LOUD PROTESTS: Activist Nazlin Omars protests at the Supreme Courts proceedings to have her case heard is the ultimate show of ignorance of the law. Any case led in a court is always assigned a hearing date. Its therefore unbecoming for anyone to make loud demands for their case to be heard, however urgent. Kenyans gradually restored their faith in the Judiciary and have the patience to wait for their cases to be heard, so its only right that the high and mighty show similar condence. NKONGE MOREEN, Maseno ETHNIC HATRED: In retrospect, I noticed in the piece by Jane Thomas (Nation, March 25) the Kenyan attitude of sweeping things under the carpet. The problem with waiting for the social media hate to zzle out is that it would not address the real underlining issues. What it would do is to suspend the same. Just like the 2007-2008 post-election skirmishes, the real problem was not the bungled elections. The announcement of the election results only triggered the intrinsic hatred that existed long before the elections. Currently, the hate messages only show what lies underneath the Kenyan people. TOBIAS MAURICE, Nairobi
Shoppers at Nakumatt Mega on Mombasa Road early this month. Investors should play a key role in the city.
the requirement for extinguishers does not apply to residences. A better policy would have been to require businesses to take out insurance against fire while encouraging city dwellers to install re extinguishers in their houses. Ive seen water vending bowsers extinguish re. Equipping a tanker with a water pump is not rocket science and we can easily have these trucks in all the satellite centres. Who said we cant improvise? Some by laws are inappropriate. For example at the Karen shopping centre, there is no public toilet. What justication is there for arresting someone who uses the roadside as a toilet in Karen?

House county sta

The decentralised governance system was largely informed by the nasty past we survived under a tyrannical central government. Now we have rows over house allocation for governors-elect who threaten to evict the provincial administrators and the unconstitutional County Commissioners to get oces. Giving governors stuy oces below the PCs stature then blaming them is insincere of the Transitional Authority chair Kinuthia Wamwangi. The governor is the senior-most ocer in a county and his oce should reect that. ROBERT AMALEMBA, Kakamega
May Achebes soul rest in eternal peace

Last week, when the world was told of Chinua Achebes death, I nostalgically recalled Things Fall Apart. According to Achebe, the Ibo believed that the land of the living is not far removed from the domain of the ancestors. An old man was very close to the ancestors. As we bid him farewell, I just wonder whether during his funeral ancestral spirits or the egwugwu as he called them, will appear from the underworld speaking in guttural and awesome unearthly voices while completely covered in raa! The world is poorer by his passing on. God rest his soul eternally. JAMES OMEDO KIHALI, Bungoma
MPs unhappy with their salaries should simply quit

The MPs are at it again, demanding more pay even before they start the job. When you apply for a job and pass the interview, you are oered the job under certain conditions including the remuneration. Once you accept the oer, you cannot turn around and say you are not happy with the salary. No employer will entertain such behaviour: you either agree or quit, and this should apply to MPs who are not satised with the pay. They should resign and look for greener pastures elsewhere. We have had enough of these MPs and the electorate should not tolerate this since the time they used to raise their own salaries is long in the past. MOHAMED FAROOQUE LOW, Nairobi The latest move by the Salaries and Remuneration Committee to rein in the incoming MPs greed for sitting allowances and monthly salaries is highly welcome. It is the only good thing I have read in newspapers for a very long time that the politicians should start behaving like the rest of the taxpayers. I bet other countries are amazed at how we do it in Kenya. I still honestly believe that a further cut of their salaries and allowances will be in order. The SRC needs not give up. Whatever happened to servant leadership? We should not be seen like we are their servants them. CHERUO LEVI CHEPTORA, Trans Nzoia
YESTERDAYS QUESTION
DEBATE QUESTION
What do you consider most outstanding about Achebes books?

JANE ASAVA: I think the most outstanding fact is that he spoke and stood for what was upright. He also declined the gifts by his government because he considered the leadership of his country to be corrupt. He was a voice of the voiceless. Who shall speak up for the integrity of the African people?? VICTOR O. MONGARE: Theres a lot of humour, satire, proverbial messages and above all, constructive criticism. If we, as Africans, were to apply the many lessons learned from the books in our daily lives, we would be at par with Europeans in all elds. DAN TUMBO: A focused creativity aimed at educating the readers as well as civilising the society. STEPHEN MUTUA: The most outstanding thing in Achebes books is the vivid description of rural Africa, not to mention his rich proverbs! DAVID K. KANDA: The sharp criticism on African political leadership style, according to his former set book A Man of the People, which is a replica of the political class in our society behaves.
Are MPs and governors-elect justied to demand higher salaries?

Lake faces ecological disaster, warn experts

Scientists ask State to remove dry water hyacinth from Lake Victoria to save sh, and other organisms
BY LILIAN OCHIENG
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com According to the researchers, water hyacinth produces humic acid when it decomposes in water a process that uses oxygen and deprives aquatic plants and animals of fresh air. The acid contains harmful elements like iron and manganese, which the scientists attributed to the brown colour of water supplied in the region by Kisumu Water and Sewerage Company Ltd. Dr Oweke called on the government to make use of colleges and universities in the region to assist in removPROCESS ing the dry weed by use of conveyer belts. This is the time for the government to come in and use conveyer belt mechanism to remove the dry hyacinth so as to save the lake, said Dr Oweke. The manual removal used by Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project in 2011 and late last year was a total waste of money and time because this posed a high risk to the labourers and it also led to over-sprouting of the weed. He said the machines would clear the dry water hyacinth and dump it on the shores, where it would be burned. Mr Reuben Omondi, a senior scientist at Kemfri, said the hyacinth had turned brown because weevils had fed on it and it was drying up. The insects were introduced in the lake by Kenya Agricultural Research Institute in 2005. Weevils are killing the weed and the government needs to respond quickly to remove the drying hyacinth lest a looming danger destroys the ecosystem, he said.

ake Victoria faces an ecological disaster if dry hyacinth weed is left to sink and rot in the lake, researchers have warned. Kenya Medical Fisheries Research Institute (Kemfri) experts yesterday said if the weed sunk, aquatic life would be at risk. Several species of sh in the lake, especially the much cherished Nile perch, tilapia and small sh (omena) that cannot survive in water with low oxygen concentration might be completely wiped out, said Kemfri lead scientist Ojwang Oweke. Mud sh, locally known as kamongo and catsh, locally called mumi, are among the species that can survive in water with low oxygen concentration.
How hyacinth leads to death

n Dry water hyacinth sinks in the lake and decomposes. n Decomposition uses up oxygen and deprives aquatic life of fresh air. n Fish and other aquatic life die due to lack of oxygen.
Man dies after boat capsizes

A young man died and four others escaped death narrowly when their boat capsized. The ve were trying to cross River Sio at Mabasa crossing point in Samia district, Busia County on Sunday evening. Mr Alex Ochieng Nyongesa, 20, was in a group of ve people who had gone to Uganda to attend the burial of their colleague when they boarded a boat to cross into Kenya. Conrming the incident, Busia police boss Kenneth Kimani said the boat was overloaded with motorcycles. It was because of that the vessels balance was aected and it overturned. Mr Kimani stated that a minor who was sailing the boat managed to swim to the shore after the accident and the other four victims were rescued by locals. Mr Nyongesa did not know how to swim and drowned. His body was later retrieved by villagers. Tragedies like this could be easily avoided if we follow instructions. Minors should not be allowed to sail boats because they lack the skills, he said. Meanwhile, residents have called on the government to build a bridge in the area to avoid such accidents. Last year, six shermen perished after their boat capsized in the region.

SPECIFIC PROCUREMENT NOTICE

NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROJECT
TENDER REF NO. KFS/REDD/EOI/06/2012-2013
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI): APPROPRIATE GRAZING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DRYLAND FORESTS IN KENYA AS REDD+ STRATEGY OPTIONS
This request for expression of interest follows the General Procurement Notice for this project that appeared in Development Business (dgMarket) of September 12, 2007 and UN Development Business No.712 of October 16, 2007. The Government of Kenya has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) towards the cost of the Natural Resource Management Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consultancy services to carry out studies on appropriate grazing management systems for Dryland Forests in Kenya as REDD+ Strategy Options. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation is evolving within the country as an attractive means to reduce forest sector carbon emissions through appropriate forest management practices and enhanced forest governance. As the policy frameworks and positive incentives to support its implementation evolve at the international level, a number of initiatives have come up to support developing country efforts to develop and apply strategies and programs to reduce forest sector emissions and enhance carbon sink capacities of forested ecosystems. The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) and the UN-REDD Programme represent some of these efforts. Kenya is participating in both FCPF and UN-REDD Programme initiatives to implement its REDD+1 readiness activities. Kenya submitted its Readiness Preparation Proposal (R-PP) which was approved for funding by the FCPF in 2011 and is in the process of fulfilling its commitment to achieve REDD+ readiness. The R-PP provides a road map for assessing the current situation with regards to deforestation and forest degradation, and provides an overview of how the country intends to address this. The quick assessment of land use, forest policy and governance carried out during preparation of RPP identified unsustainable utilization of forest resources, as a critical driver of land use change at the national level. Inappropriate livestock management systems and overgrazing have contributed significantly to this process and has been blamed for the current deforestation and forest degradation in the dry lands. A successful forestry development programme in the dry lands will therefore have to propose appropriate livestock management systems that are acceptable to the largely pastoralist communities that reside therein. This study is intended to provide information on appropriate grazing management systems in the dry lands of the country to inform REDD+ strategy formulation that reduces the negative impacts of livestock on the forest sector. The expression of Interest must be accompanied by the following mandatory requirements: a) Consultant Profile (consultant history, contact address, three referees, CV of the lead and other key personnel and evidence of their professional qualifications) b) Strong background and understanding of grazing systems and the policy environment specifically in drylands in Eastern Africa preferably Kenya c) Must possess a Masters degree in Environment, Range management, Natural Resources management, dryland resources management or related field d) Understanding of interactions between livestock, forest ecosystems and the communities; e) Demonstrated strong analytical skills including economic analysis f) Demonstrated ability to tap into an extensive network of institutions and/or individuals to source relevant information g) Ability to link analytical results for application in policy context h) Demonstrated reporting, writing and presentation skills Demonstrated ability to mobilize a team quickly and deliver products in a timely manner i) j) Key members of the implementing team are based in Kenya k) Provide copies of statutory documents: Certificate of Registration or Incorporation, a valid Tax compliance certificate, PIN and VAT registration l) Proven experience of similar services carried out for at least three (3) years for large corporate organizations, references from those organizations and contact persons A consultant will be selected in accordance with the procedures set out in the World Banks Guidelines: Selection and Employments of Consultants by World Banks Borrowers; May 2004 revised on October 1, 2006. The selection method will be Consultants Qualification Selection (CQS). The shortlisted firm will be invited to submit technical and financial proposal through a letter of invitation including Request for Proposal.

Lobby groups unveil new tool to ght poaching in game reserves

Technology designed to help rangers work with communities living around parks and forests to ght illegal ivory trade
BY JAMES KARIUKI
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com onservationists yesterday unveiled a new technology to curb poaching in wildlife sanctuaries. The software dubbed Spatial Monitoring And Reporting Tool (SMART 1.0) is designed to help rangers who will work with communities living around game reserves and forests to ght poachers. Mr Benson Okita-Ouma, Kenya Wildlife Service senior scientist attached to the Rhino Programme, said the open source software SMART would help rangers to monitor and evaluate law enforcement eorts. Last year, 25,000 elephants across the world were killed as the demand for ivory especially in the Far East outstripped supply. The trade, which is illegal in Kenya, has seen insecurity in source countries with cartels providing guns and high-tech communication equipment to facilitate poaching. The ght against poaching nearly suered a major blow when some ivory-market countries vouched for one-o sale of impounded consignments of game trophies. The proposal was, however, rejected and a committee formed to monitor ivory trade with a decision set to be made later. SMART enables rangers and managers to measure, evaluate and improve the eectiveness of wildlife law enforcement patrols and site-

The lobby groups said they formulated a new way to ght poaching because traditional approaches had failed to stem illegal killing of tigers, rhinos, elephants, great apes and marine turtles. This vital tool will help the eco-guards on the frontlines of conservation get out ahead of the poachers and protect the most iconic species on our planet.

It is worth noting that where there are camels, there are also re arms and this should not be taken lightly, he said. Last week, the KWS deployed a special security team to the region to curb poaching outside the protected areas.

three hand grenades, military training booklets and an Administration Police tracksuit were found in her house in Likoni. Inspector Augustine Kitonny told the court that they had not nalised investigations into the case and wanted Ms Masha to remain in custody. Mombasa Senior Resident Magistrate Irene Ruguru granted the request after Ms Masha failed to object to the application. She is expected to be arraigned in court on Thursday together
with a man who led police to her house after he was arrested in connection with the attack. Three people suspected to be members of Mombasa Republican Council were last week charged with the murder of the ocers.

Bishop denies claims snake tried to bite Uhuru at service

A cleric has criticised the media over reports that a snake almost attacked presidentelect Uhuru Kenyatta when he worshipped at a church in Mombasa. Bishop Mary Kagendo Francis (left) of the Kisima cha Neema cha Mwana wa Daudi church also denied reports that the snake slithered to where Mr Kenyatta was seated but was shot dead by presidential guards after it attempted to attack the Jubilee leader. The prelate said she learnt of the snake story through the media, and after enquiry discovered that it was only a small green mamba which was killed by a young boy using a stick. Speaking in Kitui after a crusade at her Mulango home, Bishop Kagendo blamed the local media for creating a political storm out of a small incident, adding that citing of wild animals at the garden where her church is situated is common. We have monkeys, baboons, birds and occasionally see small snakes at our place of worship, but we cannot resort to killing them because we embrace nature, Bishop Kagendo said. She added that her church attracts huge crowd forcing them to worship outdoors where interacting with wild animals is inevitable. The cleric also down played claims that the snake could have been sent by Uhurus political nemesis or witchcraft was involved. She vowed to take unspecied action against those she accused of spreading alarmist falsehoods. (KNA)

Eyes on Supreme Court as wheels of justice turn in election petition

f the three arms of government the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary the Judiciary is unique in a constitutional democracy. While the other two arms are run by elected representatives, the Judiciary is run by members accountable to the people but appointed by elected representatives in the other two arms. One of the reasons the Judiciary is appointed is to safeguard the rights of minorities against the will of the majority. Yesterday, the Judiciarys wheels of justice started turning in the election petition seeking to challenge the declaration of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta the fourth President of Kenya. Six Supreme Court judges will have to decide by the end of the week the fate of over 12 million voters who took part in the March 4 General Election. The rights of minorities in a constitutional democracy risk being crushed by the majority. On the other hand, an unelected arm of government might go against the will of the majority, upending their will. It is a paradox. Can the court, for both the long term and short term good of the country nudge the country in the right direction while in fact negating popular will? A counter majoritarian court would. A Judiciary considered counter majoritarian makes decisions and rulings that can eectively be seen to be directing policy against popular will. While the Judiciary is also a law-making arm of government, its law making powers come from correcting laws it deems unconstitutional and directly repugnant to justice. A counter majoritarian judiciary plays an important role in society by not only correcting past injustices, but also protecting the minority from the juggernaut of the will of the majority. Consider three distinct but not dissimilar decisions from the United States Supreme Court that corrected a past injustice, subjugated a majority and protected a powerful yet minority segment. First. The famous case of Brown vs Board of Education is a classic case of a counter majoritarian Supreme Court exing its muscles to not only to correct a past injustice, but also to protect a distinct minority group. Prior to Brown vs Board of Education , racial segregation in public schools in the United States was not only legal, but had been sanctioned by the Supreme Court in a previous case of Plessy vs Ferguson. African Americans were restricted by law from using the same schools and educational facilities
as the majority white Americans. With a population of less than 15 per cent, it was impossible for African Americans to use democracy to correct such injustices. However, the Supreme Court of America, in 1954, went against the majority sentiment and express provisions of State laws and popular culture to reverse the segregation laws in place to literally make a new law banning segregation in public schools. It took the help of the military to enforce this counter majoritarian decision. The merits of the Supreme Court being counter majoritarian in this case are obvious today. Second. A representative reinforcement Judiciary on the other hand, would not have passed a decision like Brown vs Board of Education. The classic case of a strong representative reinforcement Judiciary pandering to public opinion is best illustrated by the United States Supreme Court decision in Koramatsu vs United States.

minority group that is however extremely powerful shows the dilemma and paradox of the judicial arm. A digression here. Under the Companies Act in Kenya, four types of companies exist, namely companies limited by shares, companies limited by guarantees, unlimited companies and representative companies. For the purpose of this narrative, societies such as the Law Society of Kenya will also fall within this discussion. In law, companies and societies share some characteristics with human beings. Like human beings, companies can be sued and sue in their respective capacities. They can open bank accounts and transact in shares at the Securities Exchange and engage in business transactions just like people. Moreover, companies, like humans, can form unions to safeguard and promote their interests. The Kenya Bankers Association is an example. In addition, like citizens, companies pay tax and indeed form the bulk of tax revenues for many countries. Non-human persons are articial persons, while human beings are natural persons. In most Common Law states, the concept of articial and natural persons is pretty much an accepted legal phenomenon. But do articial persons have the right to inuence natural persons in exercising civic and constitutional obligations that only accrue to natural persons? Considering that articial persons are a minority compared to natural persons globally, do articial persons have the right to inuence an election outcome? Third. A turn to the US and the nal Supreme Court case illustrating counter majoritarian and representative reinforcement dilemma in this narrative. Like in Kenya, articial persons in the US are a minority. Large corporations in particular are in a minority albeit with enormous economic power. In Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, the US Supreme Court in 2010 made a decision that strengthened the power and say of an already powerful minority group. Indeed for articial persons, it can be argued that a past injustice was being corrected; articial persons were nally being granted the right to free speech. In that case, the US Supreme Court held that the American Constitution barred the government from restricting political campaigning by articial persons. To put it in context, picture Safaricom or Kenya Breweries arguing in court that as tax paying persons,
Can the court, for both the good of the country nudge it in the right direction while in fact negating popular will?

In this case, a popularly supported imprisonment and internment of Japanese-Americans was upheld by the Supreme Court. During the Second World War where Japan and the US were on opposing sides, the US government ordered Asian Americans of Japanese descent in America into relocation camps fearing that Japanese Americans were not loyal to the war effort and Americas position. Japanese Americans were not only a minority in the country, but nationalist rhetoric and sentiment was strongly in favour of any action that would seem to support the American war eort. As a result, hundreds of Japanese Americans were interned in what were nothing dierent from concentration camps in Germany with the full approval of the Supreme Court. The court reinforced public opinion and representation (the internment was ordered by the Executive). Fast forward to the 21st century. A ground-breaking decision by the Supreme Court protecting a
they have the right to actively participate in the electoral process by supporting candidates they deem best suited and attuned to the business climate in the country. If the two were joined by the dominant media companies in Kenya (who are also articial persons), it would be an uphill task for any other candidate to win an election in Kenya. But artificial persons have rights too. In this case, the US Supreme Court held that by denying articial persons the right to participate in the electoral process, the government was breaching their constitutional right to free speech. For millions of employees, shareholders and business entities in the US, this was a welcome move. The input by articial persons in the development and power of the US cannot be gainsaid. Think Google, IBM, Lockheed Martin, CNN and you get the picture. For others, this was unacceptable. To go ahead and give articial persons controlled by natural persons more control over the lives of natural persons who form a majority was unconscionable. These examples seek to illustrate the unique position of the judicial arm. An arm with immense powers rightly so this unelected arm of government has overreaching power over the will of Kenyan citizens. This month, an unelected arm of Kenyas government is set to decide an electoral dispute set to put into place another powerful but elected arm of government in place the Executive. Depending on where one falls on the political spectrum, the rst Kenyan Supreme Court will either be dened as counter majoritarian or representative reinforcement. For the Supreme Court, the denition is in its power. It will be determining whether the IEBC returns were the majoritys opinion and good to go, or that irregularities existed denying a people their democratic right.

First batch of S. Sudanese prisoners arrive home

BY MACHEL AMOS
NATION Correspondent JUBA, Monday The first batch of 50 South Sudanese prisoners who were serving various sentences in Sudanese jails on minor oences arrived in Juba today. This marks the beginning of a scheme to repatriate more than 800 South Sudanese prisoners in Sudan who have been released under a prisoner exchange program reached between South Sudan President Salva Kiir and Sudans Omar al-Bashir in 2011. The sentences of these prisoners range between one year and 25 years and the crimes committed ranged between drug tracking and committed crimes against the child act in the Republic of Sudan, Col. Azmi Abdullah Hamza of Sudans prisons told reporters at Juba International airport. There are four ights spread over two weeks to repatriate 218 prisoners whose transport funding is being met by the government of Sudan. Funds to transport some more 634 prisoners will be met by the government of South Sudan.

Xi Jinping is on his rst foreign trip since being anointed president 11 days ago
DAR ES SALAAM, Monday
hinas new President Xi Jinping hailed today the strength of ties with African nations, in a keynote speech on his rst trip as head of state to the continent. Hailing resource-rich Africa as a continent of hope and promise, Mr Xi addressed leaders in Tanzanias economic capital as my dear friends and spoke of Beijings sincere friendship with Africa. Africa belongs to the African people, Mr Xi said, speaking in a new conference hall built by China. In developing relations with Africa, all countries should respect Africas dignity and independence. Trade between China and Africa reached some $200 billion last year, he said, adding that China would intensify not weaken its relationship and noting a committment to provide a $20 billion credit-line to African nations over the next two years. Whenever I come to Africa two things always strike me the most, one is the continuous progress... I am deeply impressed at the new developments, Xi said, on his sixth visit to the continent. The other is your overwhelming warmth, the sincere friendship of the
African people towards the Chinese people is as warm and unforgettable as the sunshine in Africa. Mr Xi and his Tanzanian counterpart Jakaya Kikwete signed 16 trade, cultural and development accords after his arrival in Tanzania on Sunday, including improvements to hospitals and ports, and the building of a Chinese cultural centre. China is the second-largest foreign investor in Tanzania, with stakes in agriculture, coal, iron ore and infrastructure. We have no doubt that the people of China will continue to work with the people of Africa, Kikwete said, dismissing those who still feared Beijings role despite the end of the Cold War. CEMENTING TIES
So far, China has been a dependable supporter and an ally of African countries and other Third World countries...in their appeal for a just and equitable world economic order, Mr Kikwete added. Tanzania, where Mr Xi arrived from after a visit to Moscow, was the rst stop of a three-nation Africa tour that underscores Beijings growing presence on the continent. Chinas first contacts with Africa came with the sea voyages of Zheng He, a Chinese Muslim admiral who led expeditions to the east African coast in the 1400s, but little followed for centuries. Mr Xi, on his rst foreign trip since being anointed president 11 days ago, later left Tanzania for South Africa, where he rst
High volumes of trade

Top market: South Africas two-way trade with China totalled $59.9 billion last year. Top: South Africas trade with China is nearly one-third of total China-Africa trade. Appointment: President Xi will hold talks with President Jacob Zuma and join the leaders of Brazil, India, Russia and South Africa at the BRICS summit of emerging economies. Progress: Chinas vice foreign minister Zhai Jun, has estimated there are between one and two million Chinese entrepreneurs in Africa. Evolving: China has acknowledged growing pains in the relationship with Africa, which he ascribed to many causes.
visits Pretoria, before heading to Durban to join an emerging economies summit. He wraps up the African tour with a visit to CongoBrazzaville. China, which has risen to become the worlds secondlargest economy, sources many of its raw materials from Africa. A new Chinese diaspora has seen huge numbers of traders and small business operators establish themselves across the continent, which has higher growth rates than Europe or the United States. Chinese imports from Africa soared 20-fold in a decade to reach $113 billion last year, according to Chinese government statistics, and China became the continents largest trading partner in 2009. But Chinas presence in Africa has also been accompanied by periodic tensions, and Xi sought to smooth over those who criticise Beijings role on the continent, noting that there is no one size ts all development model in the world. We each view the others development as our own opportunity, and we each seek to promote the others development and prosperity, Mr Xi added.

President Rupiah Banda has been formally charged and arrested in connection with the procurement of oil which did not benet the country, Namukolo Kasumpa, a spokeswoman for government investigators, told reporters. He was immediately freed on bail and is due to appear in court on Tuesday. The arrest came after parliament earlier this month lifted Bandas immunity. The former leader who ruled Zambia between 2008 and 2011 was promptly questioned about al-
witnesses that they are going to bring but we know he is innocent, he said. Appearing exhausted after three hours of questioning by a special government probe unit, 76-year-old Banda told reporters: Naturally I would have been happy to be sitting at home but I have to go through this. Mr Satas government says Banda engaged in corrupt activities in the procurement of crude oil from a Nigerian rm, listed as the Nigerian National Oil Company in ocial documents. Nigerias state oil outt is known as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). He is also accused of funnelling taxpayer cash into his election campaigns. Since Sata came to power he has rolled out an anti-corruption drive that some have seen as a move to silence dissenting views. Bandas lawyers last week petitioned the regional South African Development Community (SADC) over the unlawful and inhumane events taking place in Zambia.

Meanwhile, South Africa said 13 of its soldiers were killed and 27 wounded in the weekend ghting in Bangui the countrys heaviest military loss since the end of the apartheid era. As a member of the African Union, South Africa rejects any efforts to seize power by force, President Jacob Zuma told reporters, adding that there were no immediate plans to withdraw troops deployed alongside the weak national army. South Africa deployed 200 soldiers to the Central African Republic in January to support government troops. The African Union took swift action amid international concern about the deteriorating security situation in the deeply unstable former French colony, a poor and landlocked nation with unexploited mineral wealth.

Darfur gunmen seize 31 displaced people

KHARTOUM, Monday
Gunmen in Sudans Darfur seized 31 displaced people travelling to a conference, peacekeepers said today, highlighting the insecurity of 1.4 million people uprooted by the regions decade-old conict. A convoy of three commercial buses carrying 31 internally displaced persons and escorted by UNAMID peacekeepers was stopped by a large unidentied armed group in military uniforms and seven jeep-mounted guns, said Aicha Elbasri, spokeswoman for the African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). Despite UNAMID opposition, the armed group forced the IDPs to an unknown location, said Elbasri, condemning the action of the gunmen. The peacekeepers were unharmed in the incident, which happened at about 6: 20 pm on Sunday at a border crossing between Central and South Darfur states. Elbasri added that while some information says the captives were released, ocial government sources have not conrmed this. Some of them are safe, Abdulbagi Ahmed Suliman, media director of Darfurs Voluntary Return and Resettlement Commission, told AFP from the main South Darfur city of Nyala.

MESSAGE FROM DIRECTORS The high interest rate environment prevailing during the period adversely impacted the 2012 results. The Bank paid high market rates on deposits but chose to cushion its borrowers by not passing the entire increase in the cost of funds onto the lending portfolio. The high rates also depressed lending volumes in the Banks significant retail portfolio. Expenses also grew on the back of significant investments in the year in new branches, new products, upgrade of the entire technology platform and inflationary pressures on the general cost base. DIVIDEND 1. The Directors are pleased to announce a dividend of Kshs 0.075 per share (1.5%) to preference shareholders. 2. The Directors have resolved to recommend to the forthcoming Annual General Meeting a first and final dividend of Kshs 0.20 per share to ordinary and participating preference shareholders. The dividend will be payable on or about 7th June 2013 to shareholders on register at close of business on 25th April 2013. The register will remain closed on 26th April 2013 for preparation of dividend warrants.

Mugabe remains among 10 still targeted by an EU travel ban and assets freeze

NATION CORRESPONDENT and Agencies HARARE, Monday

The number of individuals the 27-nation bloc hasd agreed to immediately suspend restrictive measures against.
he European Union today suspended most of its sanctions against Zimbabwe following a peaceful, successful and credible referendum on a new constitution earlier this month. However, 89-year old President Robert Mugabe remained among 10 Zimbabweans still targeted by an EU travel ban and assets freeze, a European diplomat said on condition of anonymity. An EU statement welcoming the March 16 referendum said the 27-nation bloc had agreed to immediately suspend restrictive measures against 81 people on a 91-name list as well as eight of 10 rms or utilities also blacklisted. The EU congratulates the people of Zimbabwe on a peaceful, successful and credible vote to approve a new constitution, a statement said, adding that this represents a signicant step towards general elections. Elections to end a shaky unity government formed four years ago between Mugabe and his rival Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai are expected later this year, with Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa calling for polls before the end of June. Details on those who remain on the list would be released in the next few days, said the source, who added that the controversial mining rm, the Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation, too remained on the EU blacklist.
NGOs and diplomats claim the state-owned ZMDC, a major diamond and gold mining company which operates ve diamond mines in the controversial Marange elds, was channelling money to the Mugabes ZANU-PF. The targeted sanctions were rst imposed in 2002 with the EU citing political violence, human rights abuses and the failure to hold free and fair elections in the southern African nation. Meanwhile, a Zimbabwe High Court judge today granted $500 bail to a prominent human rights lawyer who was arrested last week for allegedly shouting at police ocers during the arrest of four aides of Prime Minister Tsvangirai. High Court judge Joseph Musakwa overturned a ruling by a Harare magistrate denying Ms Beatrice Mtetwa bail last week. The lawyers arrest sparked protests from human rights activists and fellow lawyers who say she is being persecuted for defending President Robert Mugabes opponents. Mr Tsvangirais aides were arrested for spearheading investigations into allegations that ministers from the veteran rulers Zanu PF party were involved in corrupt deals. Their bail hearing is expected on Tuesday. Police had ignored another High Court judgment issued last Sunday ordering them to set Ms Mtetwa free. She was taken to court the following day and was denied bail by a magistrate who said the lawyer was facing serious charges.

Parliament curbs presidents powers

Georgias parliament on Monday unanimously approved curbs to the presidents powers, a move seen as a breakthrough that could ease tensions between the rival camps of the president and prime minister. The constitutional amendments deprive the ex-Soviet republics president of his right to re or appoint a prime minister or cabinet without parliaments approval. Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has backed the amendments since last October, when his coalition defeated President Mikheil Saakashvilis United National Movement party in parliamentary elections. the amendments pave the way for smooth relations between Georgias rival leaders. (AFP)
ebels won Syrias long-vacant seat at the Arab League today, on the eve of the organisations summit in Doha, despite rifts within the opposition that have marred their political gains. A high-ranking League ocial in the Qatari capital told AFP that the opposition National Council has been invited to the Arab summit and will occupy Syrias seat at the 22-member Arab League. Damascus reacted with fury at the announcement. The League has handed Syrias stolen seat to bandits and thugs, Syrian ocial daily Al-Thawra said. They have forgotten that it is the people who grant the powers and not the emirs of obscurantism and sand, it said, in an apparent reference
to key opposition supporters Qatar and Saudi Arabia. A state television station said: Qatar wants to bypass the rules of the Arab League by giving the seat of a founding member of the League to a coalition that obeys only the money and fuel of the Gulf and submits to American dictates. The news came a day after National Coalition leader Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib announced his resignation, throwing the fragmented opposition into disarray and denting its credibility. However, Khatib said he will address the summit in the name of the Syrian people, while the Coalitions envoy to Doha, Nizar al-Haraki, told AFP that Khatib will head the delegation representing Syria on Tuesday. I have decided to make

a speech in the name of the Syrian people at the Doha summit, Khatib announced in a statement on his Facebook page, saying he took his decision after prayers and consulting friends. This is not linked to the resignation which will be later discussed, he added. The coalition has said it refuses Khatibs resignation. Haraki told AFP that Khatib will head the eightmember Syrian delegation at the summit and will occupy Syrias seat. The delegation will include Syrias rst rebel prime minister, Ghassan Hitto. The Arab League on March 6 called on the coalition to form an executive body to take up Syrias seat and attend the summit, although Iraq and Algeria have expressed reservations, while Lebanon has distanced itself from the decision. The League in November 2011 suspended Syria after Damascus failed to implement an Arab deal designed to end violence against protesters. (AFP)

US owner traced after diving camera drifts to Taiwan

TAIPEI, Monday
A Taiwanese airline said today it has traced the American owner of a diving camera, which was lost in Hawaii in 2007 and was found last month on a Taiwan beach more than 9,600 kilometres away. Flag carrier China Airlines said the owner of the Canon camera, identied as Lindsay Crumbley Scallan from Georgia, would be offered a free round-trip ticket to Taiwan to collect it. The memory card with photos of Scallans Hawaii visit remained intact inside the barnacle-encrusted camera. Ms Scallan is welcome to visit Taiwan so that she can take home the invaluable memories of her trip to Hawaii, said Lee Wen-yi, an ocial of the airline. Ms Scallan lost the waterproof camera in August 2007 during a diving trip in Maui. It was found by Douglas Cheng, a China Airlines manager, while he was strolling along a beach at Taitung on Taiwans east coast on February 13. The memory card allowed Cheng to identify where the camera had been lost. China Airlines staff in Honolulu launched a search for the owner, attracting media attention. The airline said a friend of Scallans in Hawaii informed her Monday that the camera had been found on the other side of the Pacic. (AFP)

The date in February the camera was found.
nigmatic in death as in life, Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky has left a swirl of mystery after his passing, including a letter reportedly begging President Vladimir Putin for forgiveness. The exiled businessman and former Kremlin powerbroker, who won asylum in Britain after falling out with Mr Putin and being convicted in absentia, was found dead at his Berkshire home at the weekend in circumstances that have yet to be made clear. Russias press on Monday leapt at the chance of publishing the wildest conspiracy theories, ranging from an assassination by MI5 to even a staged death that left the real Berezovsky still alive. Friends have suggested he was depressed over a costly court loss against fellow oligarch Roman Abramovich and personal trouble, pointing to suicide as a possible though unconrmed explanation. Berezovsky made a mystery even of his death, said the mass circulation Komsomolskaya Pravda in allusion to his reputation from the 1990s as the shadowy grey cardinal of Kremlin politics. It seemed he liked blurring the boundary between truth and mystication, the business daily Vedomosti said, describing him as a Faust or
Frankenstein who became a King Lear. A journalist for Forbes Russia magazine who spoke to Berezovsky last week said the fallen oligarch had told the magazine that life had lost meaning. Adding to the intrigue was the apparent existence of a letter which Vladimir Putins spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Berezovsky (pictured below) had sent to the Russian president asking for forgiveness. Mr Peskov told the Interfax news agency that the letter was a personal one. He also told TV Rain that the exiled oligarch had passed it on via a third party who he did not name. The editor in chief of RT television, Margarita Simonyan, a key gure in Kremlin media circles, said on her television talk show on Sunday night that a gure close to Mr Putin had read out the letter to her. She said that person, who she did not name, described the letter as a prayer for returning to Russia. I committed many mistakes, I understand how hard it is to forgive me, but I had got confused and I beg for forgiveness, the person cited the letter as saying, Ms Simonyan said. (AFP)
Hong Kong court rejects residency bid by maids

HONG KONG, Monday
Hong Kongs top court today rejected a bid to give hundreds of thousands of foreign maids the right to live in the city permanently, angering activists who said the ruling amounted to discrimination. In turning down the attempt to give maids the same residency rights as other foreigners, the Court of Final Appeal ruled that there was no need to refer the case to Beijing for a nal say, which would have sparked new controversy. Ocials in semi-autonomous Hong Kong had suggested enlisting the advice of the Chinese central government on the immigration question, sparking warnings that they were jeopardising the territorys cherished judicial independence. But the top court drew a line under the matter by rejecting the two-year legal challenge rst brought by Filipina maid Evangeline Banao Vallejos, a 61-year-old mother of ve who has lived in Hong Kong since 1986.

Executives seek free movement of EA workers
Private sector players say the current limitations have blocked regional expansion
BY CHARLES WOKABI
cwokabi@ke.nationmedia.com usiness executives in the services industry from the East African Community want legal provisions hampering movement of workers across the member states removed. In a workshop held in Tanzania last week, the private sector players, under the East African Business Council (EABC) and the East African Professional Services Platform, pushed for the community to separate partner states commitments to the free movement of services from their commitments to the free movement of workers across the region. The business council, in a position paper submitted to the East African Community secretary general Richard Sezibera on Friday, said linking the two issues adds confusion rather than clarity to the commitments by partner states under the Common Market Protocol. The issue of concern to business is that the current impasse in implementing services commitments on account of the articial linkage between movement of services suppliers and the movement of workers is preventing the private sector from taking advantage of the opportunities created by the Common Market protocol, EABC executive director Andrew Luzze said. The workshop was attended by players in the services sector, including banking, engineering, tourism, clearing and forwarding, hospitality and health care from all the five East African Community member states. The executives said that the current limitations in the free movement of workers across the member states had blocked regional expansion and made it hard for companies to operate seamlessly across borders. In some circumstances, a service provider may need to send some of the companys personnel with specialist skills from its principal place of business in the EAC to another partner state on a short-term basis to supply services under a short contract, the position paper states. Players in the private sector further said that he limitations in the free movement of workers was contrary to the aim of the Common Market Protocol, which, they said, seeks to establish key freedoms that form the basis for a common market, including free movement of workers, services and service suppliers. According to the workshops submission, market access for key personnel such as managers or specialists has been made subject to the rules for free movement of workers rather than being part of a package of conditions granted to service suppliers. The position paper is set to be discussed further in an ongoing technical meeting in Nairobi to review implementation of the Common Market Protocol.

New coding plan for all property in Kenya soon

South African technology rm mapIT is developing a digital address system for the country that should provide respite to local courier and e-commerce rms. At an event in Nairobi yesterday, mapIT chief executive Etienne Louw said the company had already mapped about 80 per cent of the country while the remaining process should be completed by the end of the year. Under the project, a local address coding system will be created in which each property in the country will be identied. The information will then be made available to local businesses that rely on physical addresses to deliver their goods and services. We intend to give every property in the country a unique code to identify them, make them easily accessible as well as give rise to e-commerce, Mr Louw said. The process, he added, would increase accountability in collecting taxes by providing the State with a clear record of existing and upcoming properties.

Bank to rebrand as prot slides by 53pc

The National Bank of Kenya plans to rebrand after posting a 53 per cent drop in after-tax profit for the year ending December 2012. The bank, which had warned on Friday that its full year profits after tax would decline by at least 25 per cent, yesterday said the earnings for the 12 months more than halved because of high interest expenses, dropping to Sh729.8 million from the Sh1.5 billion recorded in 2011. Total interest expenses rose by 165 per cent to Sh3.6 billion against a 30 per cent rise in total interest income to Sh8.4 billion in the period under review. Releasing the results at an investor briefing yesterday, managing director Munir Ahmed said the move to rebrand was part of the banks strategic transformation plans as it sought to become a top-tier bank by 2017. We are rebranding the bank to reflect the fundamental changes we are introducing, Mr Munir noted. Some of the turnaround initiatives that were being executed include the setting up of retail and business banking, corporate and institutional banking divisions, developing new products and controlling the cost growth to drive growth. The bank has embarked on an aggressive expansion of its retail network and distribution channels. After emerging a top performer at the Nairobi Securities Exchange last Friday, the banks stock dropped by 11.11 per cent in yesterday mornings trading session, becoming one of the top losers.
The impasse in implementing service commitments is caused by articial linkage between movement of service suppliers and movement of workers,

Kenya told to take grievances to Comesa court

BY NATION REPORTER
Kenya has been told to seek legal interpretation of regional competition laws only from the Comesa Court of Justice. This is the latest twist in a spat between a local authority and a regional regulator. The Common Market for East and South Africa (Comesa) Competition Commission in a statement on Sunday, urged the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) to take its grievances to the regional court instead of appealing to Kenyas Attorney General. It is our view that the Attorney General is not the right office to interpret the provisions of the Treaty but the Comesa Court of Justice is, wrote the regional regulator. The Comesa competition commission further disputes it is engaged in a jurisdictional battle with Kenyan authorities, saying it restricted itself to regulating only those mergers with a regional dimension. The regional commission became operational in January with the mandate to regulate mergers and acquisitions in the region. This sparked concerns among local firms and the government that Comesa was trying to usurp the authority of CAK. Following consultation with Attorney General Githu Muigai, the CAK in February wrote to the Competition Commission that Kenya still had primary control over local mergers and acquisitions.

AGRICULTURE | The harvest is good
Busia farmers face losses for lack of market

There are fears crops worth millions of shillings may go to waste due to limited storage facilities
BY LINET WAFULA
lwafula@ke.nationmedia.com Tanui said. Mr Christopher Ngunyi, a rice farmer in the region, said the situation would make it difficult for farmers to pay the loans they acquired at the beginning of the season. The problems, he said, would adversely aect preparations for the next planting season. Most of the rice farmers depend on income obtained from the produce to educate their children and repay the loans they took from nancial institutions, Mr Ngunyi said. Rice production at Bunyala Irrigation Scheme has expanded in the past three years from 500 acres to more than 1,800 acres following the introduction of early maturing and disease-resistant varieties. The improved harvest was attributed to the use of high quality seeds and the extension training services to farmers through the season. However, it is unlikely that farmers will enjoy as much returns as they did last year following the drop in price per kilogramme from Sh48 to Sh36.
ice farmers at Bunyala Irrigation Scheme in Busia County risk losing millions of shillings due to poor storage and lack of a ready market. In an interview with the Nation, the area National Irrigation Board manager, Mr Joel Tanui, said farmers were likely to incur signicant losses of their bumper harvest if the situation persisted. Continuous rainfall in the region has caused panic among the farmers who fear that, with limited storage space, they may lose their produce in case the area oods.
Quality seeds
We fear that the farmers may incur massive losses in case the region experiences ooding like in 2011 when several thousand bags of rice went to waste, Mr Tanui said. The farmers have so far harvested more than 20,000 bags out of the 60,000 expected at the end of the season, with only 6,000 bags having been sold. We are likely to face a major problem if the issue is not addressed as a matter of urgency because farmers need to sell the produce which they have heavily invested in, Mr
Urgent solution

Cyprus sacrices top banks in bail-out

Under the agreement the islands second largest lender Laiki would be wound up overnight
BRUSSELS, Monday
Weve put an end to the uncertainty that aected Cyprus and the euro area over the last few days. Under the terms of the agreement the islands second largest lender Laiki (Popular Bank) would be wound up overnight, an operation Dijsselbloem said would deliver a 4.2-billion-euro ($5.5 billion) saving. Even the best-protected senior bondholders investing in the bank would see their holdings wiped out, Dijsselbloem told journalists. Loans to the government in Nicosia once the parliament there approves the deal in April, will be for 10 billion euro ($13 billion). The Bank of Cyprus, the islands No 1 lender, survives: but it will have to endure a major haircut a forced wipeout of investment value, on all deposits of more than 100,000 euros. That is a massive blow to its major investors and the bank holds the lions share of the islands Russian deposits. The previous plan for a raid on all savings, a move that provoked angry response from everyone from pensioners to Russian President Vladimir Putin was ditched. The new deal, reached after a week of turmoil that plunged the eurozone back into crisis, was
TNT to shed 4,000 jobs as takeover fails

THE HAGUE, Monday
Dutch post and courier company TNT Express said today it would shed around 4,000 jobs over the next three years as it restructures after the failure of a takeover bid by US rival United Parcel Service (UPS). The company will also introduce a new management structure, sell its operations in China and Brazil and reduce its air capacity, resulting in around 150 million euros ($195 million) in costs and 220 million euros in annual savings by the end of 2015, a statement said. The announcement came after rival UPS in January abandoned its bid for TNT Express that would have created the biggest European group in the ght for the global parcel market. Our business faces difficult market conditions and strategic challenges, TNT Express interim CEO Bernard Bot was quoted as saying. We are... taking immediate steps to reshape our portfolio, make the company leaner and pursue eciencies in operational and supporting processes, Bot said. The company said it was exploring options to reduce its exposure to inter-continental capacity. O ptions include capacitysharing agreements, subleases and lease terminations, it said. (AFP)
he eurozone struck a deadline-day deal with Cyprus today to resurrect a bailout for its government but only after a radical downsizing of the Mediterranean islands Russianfuelled nancial sector. Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades battled for 12 hours with currency partners and the IMF, but let one banking chain go to the wall and left major investors in the islands biggest bank take a giant hit. However, no one could say when banks on Cyprus already shut for a 10th day would reopen, or when restrictions on cash withdrawals and other capital controls would be eased. They had been scheduled to reopen tomorrow. Anastasiades said he was content with the deal. And the head of the Eurogroup of nance ministers, Mr Jeroen Dijsselbloem of the Netherlands, insisted:
CHALLENGES
Talks on the deal faced key hurdles

Russia refused to give fresh aid or extend a 2014 repayment date on an existing 2.5-billion-euro loan. The European Central Bank had yesterday threatened to halt life-support funding for Cyprus if there was no deal.
a much better outcome, said Dijsselbloem. Key details of the deal remained sketchy, with EU and IMF ocials working out the likely percentage levels over the coming weeks. Bail-out bosses could not put a gure on that, Dijsselbloem said. The nal bailout will also involve a Cypriot government austerity programme. (AFP)

CONSTITUENCIES DEVELOPMENT FUND BOARD

PRESS RELEASE ON CDF ACT 2013
1. Introduction The Constituencies Development Fund was established through an Act of Parliament, the CDF Act 2003 (amended in 2007) with an objective of addressing poverty and inequality throughout the country, by dedicating a specific portion of the ordinary Government Revenue to addressing felt needs of the community at grassroots level. The fund is managed by the Constituencies Development Fund Board (CDFB). It is one of several devolved funds set up by the Government to reduce poverty and bridge development imbalances throughout the country. The Fund has registered great success through shifting the role of project identification, planning and implementation from line ministries to communities, hence encouraging local initiative that results into sense of ownership, transparency and accountability. The programme has also encouraged creation of employment at local levels through awarding contracts to local artisans and sourcing materials from local entrepreneurs. Through CDF, the general condition of social infrastructure has improved in many parts of the country, and school dropout rate has reduced through CDF contribution in expansion of learning facilities and provision of bursary to needy students. In January 2013, Parliament enacted CDF Act 2013, hence effectively repealing CDF Act 2003 as amended in 2007. 2. Rationale for enactment of CDF Act 2013 The enactment of CDF Act 2013 was mainly aimed to ensure that the law governing CDF is aligned to the Constitution of Kenya 2010, particularly in compliance with the principle of transparency, accountability, separation of powers and participation of the people. The new law was also aimed to align the operations of the Fund to the new devolved government structure. 3. What has changed? a) Reduction in size of the CDF Board from seventeen to eleven members and introduction of a new officer, the Corporation Secretary as member and secretary to the Board. b) Change in the mode of appointment of CDF Board by obviating the role of nominating Bodies. c) Separation of roles of the executive from those of the Legislature. d) Emphasis on the mandatory role of Project Management Committees in Project implementation. e) Change in the responsibility for submission of Project proposals to the Board which is now the role of the Chairman of the Constituency Development Fund Committee (CDFC), not the area MP. f) Change in size of CDFC (the committee that manages the fund at the constituency level) resulting in reduction of the maximum number of committee members from sixteen (16) to eleven (11). g) Change in the mode of appointment of CDFC members, hence introducing the requirement that Within the first forty-five days of being sworn in, each Member of Parliament for a particular constituency shall convene open public meetings of registered voters in each of the elective wards in the constituency where citizens within the ward shall elect five persons whose names shall be forwarded to the Fund Account Manager in the constituency. Upon receiving the names from all the wards in the constituency, the Member of Parliament in consultation with the Fund Account Manager and the Sub County Administrator for the constituency, shall appoint eight persons to the Committee, taking into account the geographical diversity within the constituency, communal, religious, social and cultural interests in the constituency and the requirements of gender, youth and representation of persons with disabilities. Apart from the above eight persons, the Officer of the Board (Fund Account Manager), the Officer of the National Government as shall be designated by the cabinet Secretary and the Area Member of Parliament shall be ex-officio members of the CDFC, making the total membership eleven. h) New requirement that the Cabinet Secretary shall cause the names of the persons appointed as members of the CDFC to be published in Kenya Gazette. i) Specification of grounds for removal of a member from the CDFC. j) Introduction of a new structure at County level, the County Projects Committee, whose main function shall be to coordinate the implementation of projects financed through CDF. k) Appointment of the Fund Account Manager as the holder of Authority to Incur Expenditure (A.I.E) instead of the District Development Officer as was the case before. 4. Summary of the new Institutional Structure under CDF Act 2013 The new CDF management structure is composed of: a) National Assembly Select Committee on CDF b) The State Department responsible for CDF c) The Constituencies Development Fund Board (CDFB) d) The County Projects Committee e) The Constituency Development Fund Committee (CDFC) f) Project Management Committee (PMC) 5. Composition of CDFC ( the committee at the constituency that manages the Fund) a) The National Government official at the constituency as may be designated by the Cabinet Secretary or an alternate; b) Three men nominated by the Ward Development Committees and one of whom shall be a youth at the date of appointment; (age between 18 - 35 years) c) Three women nominated by the Ward Development Committees and one of whom is a youth shall be a youth at the date of appointment; (age between 18 - 35 years) d) One person with disability nominated by the Ward Development Committees; e) One person nominated from among the active Non-Governmental Organizations in the constituency; f) An officer of the Board seconded to the Constituency Development Fund Committee by the Board who shall be ex-officio and shall serve as the secretary to the Constituency Development Fund Committee. 6.

Health experts step up war on dengue fever

Surveillance on in 23 districts at the Coast, with blood samples collected daily and sent to Nairobi for analysis
BY GALGALO BOCHA
gbocha@ke.nationmedia.com weeks ago, Dr Omar told the Nation yesterday. She however had no problem with the decision taken by the institution to have the specimen analysed in South Africa. The move is prudent for quality purposes, she said. Dr Omar said blood samples taken from two other patients admitted to the Aga Khan Hospital tested positive for dengue fever after laboratory analysis at the Centre for Communicable Disease Control in Nairobi. DETECTION They are out of danger and we are monitoring the situation closely. However, there is no cause for alarm as dengue fever is almost similar to normal malaria with symptoms like back pain and can be contained with early detection and proper medication, she said. Dengue fever surveillance has been stepped up in 23 districts in the region, with samples being collected daily and taken to the Nairobi-based facility for analysis. Dr Omar said she was leading her public health team in collecting data from private hospitals where all suspected dengue fever cases were reported and ensure affected areas are properly mapped and residents educated on better ways of protecting themselves from the disease. She called on the residents to ensure they sleep under mosquito nets so that they are not bitten by female ones which transmit the disease, also called breakbone fever.
ealth specialists have been sent to Mombasa to halt the spread of dengue fever following the admission of eight people to a private hospital suspected to have the disease. Blood samples collected from the eight patients at Mombasa Hospital had been sent to South Africa for analysis, according to Coast regional director of public health and sanitation Anisa Omar. They (hospital management) did not alert us as required. Instead, they decided to have the blood samples sent to South Africa. We were, however, aware of the outbreak two

Governor vows to address insecurity

Baringo Baringo Governor-elect Benjamin Cheboi has vowed to deal with insecurity that has derailed development in the country over the years. Mr Cheboi said enough security personnel would be deployed to hotspots to assure residents of their security. Speaking yesterday when he toured Arabal Location, where two people were killed and more than 500 animals stolen by raiders last week, Mr Cheboi said the county government would not tolerate any form of crime in the name of cultural practices. A threat to security in Chemoe in Baringo North District or Arabal is a threat to security in the entire county and hence a threat to our economy, he said. Marigat district commissioner Saul Moywaywa, who accompanied the governor, said the government would provide relief food to Arabal residents who ed their homes due to insecurity. Weve restored calm in the area with the deployment of enough security personnel. He called on the locals to return to their homes as the situation was under control.

Butteries bring cheer to farmers

Coast buttery farmers are set to boost their earnings by selling pupae locally now that the National Museums of Kenya has completed a Sh44 million buttery cage. Project manager Anthony Githitho said the farmers would breed pupae on their farms and sell them to the exhibit cage. Initially, pupae were exported to Europe but with the new cage, farmers will sell them locally, Mr Githitho said, adding that farmers would be paid between Sh20,000 and Sh30,000 fortnightly to replace the butteries.

Consultants working on new design to decongest Mombasa town

Heavy rains leave families homeless

Four families have been rendered homeless after rains destroyed their houses in Hamisi District. The Sunday rains also destroyed roads in Kipchegon sub-location. An elder, Mr Philemon Magomere, said the families had been sleeping in the open for two days and needed medical care. He said he had asked the provincial administration to provide food and blankets. The families need urgent assistance as they lost everything in the storm and are dependent on well-wishers for survival, he said.
key road in Mombasa is to be expanded to ease trac jam on the link from the island to the Northern mainland. Consultants were working on the design to expand Makupa Causeway, Kenya National Highways Authority (KenHA) director general Meshack Kidenda said yesterday. Mr Kidenda said the authority would incorporate several line ministries and parastatals to ensure that work starts soon. We hope the lanes will be expanded from Makupa to Mariakani as a permanent solution to traffic jams in Mombasa town which is now experiencing heavy trac jam, he said.
Causeway at Kibarani was expected to recommend how to deal with those who have built on road reserves. Apart from working on how to create room for the expansion, we are also coming up with ways to end overloading of trucks as that had also contributed to the congestion, the KenHA boss said. The causeway is a class A road and should have a width of at least 60 metres as opposed to the current 24 metres, according to Mr Kidenda.

Villagers up in arms over animal attacks

The killing of livestock by stray wildlife has elicited protest by farmers in Kerio Valley. Livestock keepers yesterday said scores of goats and sheep had been killed in grazing elds by wolves, jackals and hyena from Remoi and Nasolot game reserves. These killer animals maim the livestock and leave them behind after sucking blood, said Mr Tilen Kimutai, a farmer from Cheptuyun village, who has lost ve goats. Remoi Game Reserve chief warden Dominic Kilonzo pledged to look into the complaints.
As we move on with the project, we are having a major hurdle because of the encroachment but we will nd a way to demolish premises built on the road reserves to pave the way for the project. Mr Kidenda said an interministerial committee on encroachment of the Makupa

IEBC wants case on Johos victory stopped

Mombasa The electoral commission wants a petition challenging the Mombasa county results struck out. In a notice of motion led yesterday at the High Court, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) says that the court has no jurisdiction to hear and determine the issues raised and only an election court can determine the dispute. The proceedings are therefore an abuse of the court process, argues the elections agency. Voter Fedrick Ngesa has challenged the election of Mombasa county governor Hassan Joho (above). County returning officer Mwashigadi Mwadime has been enjoined in the suit.

Matatu drivers to ground vehicles

Matatu operators plying the Malaba-Bungoma route have threatened to remove their vehicles from the road in protest against alleged police harassment. The operators accused trac police of giving certain vehicles preferential treatment. They said they were often arrested and charged with crimes they did not commit. We are arrested almost every day and when we question this, we are taken to court on false charges. Area base commander Kipkoskei Bii denied the allegations, saying matatu drivers must abide by the law.
The dispute in the petition can only be referred to an election court, IEBC argues through the A.B. Patel law rm. Mr Ngesa is seeking to have the IEBC or its representatives barred from gazetting and swearing in Mr Joho as the duly elected governor until the petition is heard and determined. However, gazettement and publication of his name has already been done. The case will be mentioned today.

GITHUNGURI DAIRY AND COMMUNITY SACCO LTD.

Malteser International, the worldwide relief agency of the Order of Malta for humanitarian aid, works in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas for people in need, regardless of their religion, origin or political affiliation. Its mission is to provide emergency relief as well as to implement rehabilitation measures and to facilitate the link between emergency relief and sustainable development. Christian values and the humanitarian principles of impartiality and independence form the basis of its work in the following areas: Relief, Reconstruction & Rehabilitation; Health & Nutrition; Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH); Livelihood & Social Programmes and Disaster Risk Reduction. In Kenya, Malteser International is present since 2001. So far, programs were concentrated on TB and HIV in the slums of Nairobi, while also providing humanitarian assistance in emergencies such as droughts and floods in Northern Kenya. In order to support sustainable solutions, drought resilience and disaster preparedness, Malteser has shifted its focus in Northern Kenya to recovery and development projects. In August 2012, an office was opened in Illeret, one of the most remote and under-developed areas in the northern district of Marsabit County/ Northern Kenya with the aim to address the needs of the pastoralist population of the area. Current activities, to be implemented until the end of 2013, aim at increasing the access to safe drinking water, mainly through rainwater harvesting techniques at household and community level accompanied by health/hygiene education activities, and the improvement of educational facilities. The programme should be followed by multi-sectoral activities in the areas of livelihood/ income generation, small infrastructure facilities, and possible other sectors according to needs. All planned community based activities will ensure participatory approaches involving communities and relevant stakeholders in the design, planning and implementation of the projects. To coordinate our programme in Illeret/Northern Kenya, Malteser International is looking for a

Woods returns to top of the board for the rst time since October 2010
ORLANDO, Florida iger Woods returned to the top of the world rankings for the rst time since October 2010 after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two strokes yesterday. The 37-year-old had played two holes of his nal round when a torrential storm ended proceedings in Florida on Sunday. Resuming with a three-stroke lead he added four more birdies and dropped three shots in a 70 for a 13-under-par total, his third PGA victory of 2013. Englands world number ve Justin Rose also carded a 70 to nish second. It was a sixth title in his last 20 starts on the PGA Tour for Woods, his 77th in total and the eighth time he has won the Bay Hill tournament.
Rickie Fowler moved to within two shots of Woods with four holes remaining but dropped four strokes in the next two holes, including a triple-bogey eight at the 16th, when he put two shots into the water. Woods, who leaked several tee shots to the right, was in the large fairway bunker at the 16th, from where he found the water
on Friday, but struck a majestic escape into the heart of the green and calmly two-putted for a birdie. Recorded four birdies Rose, who was at the top of the leaderboard on the first two rounds before dropping back with a 72 on Saturday resumed four shots adrift with 16 holes of his nal round remaining. He dropped a shot at his rst hole of the day and at the third, but recorded four birdies, ensuring sole possession of second with an assured up and down from the greenside bunker at the par-three 17th. I play well here, its as simple as it gets, said Woods, number one for the 11th time. Im very pleased with the way Im playing. (BBC Sport)

Teenage talent Korir repays faith
2013 WORLD CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS | Squad claims easy victory in Poland
Kenyas all-conquering athletes
Bydgoszcz Japhet Korir was blithely unaware that he had become the youngest ever senior mens champion in the history of the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, when he triumphed in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz on Sunday. Oh really? was his underwhelmed answer when informed of the fact. However, when you consider the list of past senior mens champions in the last 40 years - as IAAF President Lamine Diack called it on Sunday: a roll call of long distance running greats - a list that includes names like Stewart, Lopes, Ngugi, Skah, Sigei and Bekele, then you realize that it is quite a feat. At 19 years and 266 days, Korir beat the former record for being a prodigious talent, which had be held by no less a gure than the aforementioned Kenenisa Bekele after his win in the now defunct short course race in 2002, by 17 days. However, Korir was lucky to be on the starting line in Bydgoszcz at all. Kenyan selectors mulled over whether he was worth bringing to Poland after his sixth place at their own trials last month. However, his form in training in the last four weeks convinced them that it was a gamble worth making and it paid o handsomely. On a day when other Kenyas other medal hopes in the senior mens race metaphorically and literally froze, he became his nations fth champion. I was spiked during the Kenyan trails in 5000m for the IAAF World Junior Championships last year and I had a very bad injury with my Achilles, revealed Korir, who limped home eighth in that race in Nairobi and stayed at home nursing his ankle instead of battling with Ethiopias eventual gold medallist Muktar Edris for the title in Barcelona Finished sixth in trials Look, he demonstrated, quite happy to pull down his socks and show a nasty scar that still glowed through the Bydgoszcz mud that was still caked around his legs. I had to spend some time in hospital and I was worried about how it was going to aect my running but then I started training again and slowly regained my form. Before coming here (to Bydgoszcz), I only had two races since the injury. One was a local race in Kenya and the other was the Kenyan trials. However, once I nished sixth in Nairobi and started training for the World (Cross Country) Championships, I trained very hard and I think people saw that I was in good shape. Call it was you will, naivety, inexperience, youth or just simply exuberant talent, but Korir never seemed to be overawed by his surroundings despite there being only three younger men among the 102 runners on the start line of the race. He did not even look unduly concerned by the sight of Ethiopias defending champion Imane Merga. (IAAF.org)
After sweeping the board in Poland, stars train sights on the next big stage for more glory
BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com
IN BYDGOSZCZ, POLAND
enyas world-beating team returns home today from the World Cross Country Championships in Poland where it scooped ve individual and two team titles. And as the team savours glory, focus will shift to the IAAF World Championships this August in Moscow, Russia. The triumphant athletes were due to leave Warsaw, Poland at 3pm yesterday for a stop-over in Dubai where they would take another flight at 9.50am today before arriving in Nairobi after ve and half hours. Unlike in 2010 where Kenya was represented in the championships by experienced athletes such as Vivian Cheruiyot and Linet Masai, who swept to a 1-2, this years squad was relatively new. Also missing the Poland action were Geoffrey Kipsang and Mark Kiptoo. The team had to endure adverse weather conditions in Poland, including snow and temperatures as low as -3 degrees Celsius. It was simply inspiring for Japheth Korir, who had been dropped from the nal team only to be recalled just before he boarded a bus back to Kericho. From a bronze medal finish in 2010, Korir, who turns 20 on June 30, reigned supreme in senior mens 12km race to become the youngster ever winner in the category. History repeated itself when Emily Chebet battled a heel injury to recapture the senior womens title she won at the same course in 2010. The lioness in Chebet did it in amboyant style, as she launched a vicious attack, slicing the 100m gap set by Ethiopian Hiwot Ayelew at the Myslecinek Park course to win. Just like Chebet,
world junior 1,500m champion Faith Chepngetich, who is the only other Kenyan woman to capture the world cross title twice did it in fashion as well. Running in her last junior event, Chepngetich orchestrated a 1-2 nish with Agnes Chebet. Things looked tough for junior men who had no international experience with little known Leonard Barsaton losing to Ethiopian Hagos Gebrhiwet. Both Korir and Chebet won US$ 30,000 (Sh2.6m) while the senior womens team pocketed US$ 20,000 (Sh1.7m). Senior mens team that nished third after Ethiopia and USA got US$12,000 (Sh1.044m). Head coach Sammy Rono, who was making he debut at the World Cross is happy with the performance despite awful course that got the better of some of his charges. Proud of athletes This is my rst time with a cross country team and I am excited with the performance. I am proud of the athletes for displaying a good ghting spirit despite the adverse weather conditions, said Rono. This is a course that can make newcomers quit. It was strange and needless for the course creators to put obstacles at downhill. Rono said he was worried at one point that he could miss out on team placing in the 12km race after Jonathan Muia Ndiku fell o with an injury as Korir tumbled on a downhill obstacle to fall before raising to storm to victory. We had dropped him but a stich in time no doubt saved nine for us as we brought him back to the team immediately, Rono explained. Rono said he had confident in Chebet and Chepngetich right from the national trials. I knew we were right in business when Chebets injury showed great improvement, Rono said. He added: I literary smiled after three-time champion, Tirunesh Dibaba, stayed away. I knew Chebet would be home and dry. Indeed she ran like a machine to leave Ayelew choking in ice.

Chebet eyes the global 10,000m title
IN BYDGOSZCZ, POLAND
he International Association of Athletics of Amateur Federations (IAAF) president Lamine Diack yesterday paid tribute to Kenyan cross country legend Paul Tergat and John Ngugi for their contribution to global athletics. Diack said cross country represents the pinnacle of long distance running competitions and Kenya has been part and parcel of the rich culture that has produced a majority of the worlds greatest athletes. He said cross country has made great strides from the inaugural event that attracted 287 athletes from 27 countries to this years event that has drawn 443 athletes from 45 countries. Diack said its from this encouraging development that the World Cross country Championships will be considered for inclusion in future World Championships and Olympic Games. We know what will be at stake this year (at the World Championships in Athletics in Moscow) and Kenya will be on the lips of everyone, going by their great performance in 2010, Diack said. They won all the gold medals on oer, both individual and team. Ngugi was the rst man in history to win ve World titles with back-to-back victories

sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com After recapturing her World Cross country title she last won in 2010, Kenyas Emily Chebet (above) has now set her sights on compatriot Vivian Cheruiyots World 10,000m title. I think I should say I have closed the cross country chapter in style and its now time to look ahead, said the 27-year-old athlete from Bomet. I want to try my luck on the track and battle it out for positions in the 10,000m race before moving to the marathon later. Chebet herself who is married to 2008 Kenyan 10,000m champion Edward Muge - was pleasantly surprised by the outcome on a snowy course in sub-zero temperatures. Chebet said she has high chances of making the team, especially after recapturing the title she won in 2010 at the same course in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The Police ocer, who is based at Chebirbelek Training Camp in Kericho under trainer Zane Branson, said she will ne-tune her form in selected road races over 5km and 10km as she hopes to gain the right shape ahead of the Kenyan trials before the World Championships in Athletics due August in Moscow, Russia. I want to train hard and try my luck in the 10,000m race. Im going to make sure I get the opportunity to run for my country by working hard and staying in shape for the trials, said Chebet at a press conference after her victory. Chebet made her World Cross debut in 2003 when she nished fth before winning bronze in 10,000m at the 2006 Africa Senior Athletics Championships. The bronze winner at the Africa Cross last year has a personal best of 31:31.39 in 10,000m. Japhet Korir, winner of the senior mens 12km race and junior mens 8km race, have also expressed their interests to make the 5,000m Kenyan team for the World Championships. After finishing fifth in junior mens race, World Junior 3,000m steeplechase champion Conseslus Kipruto plans to take his stab at the World Championships title. This is just the start and the best is yet to come from me, said Barsoton, who had not represented Kenya at any level. A red-up Korir said: I know its long since Kenya celebrated the 5,000m World or Olympic victory. I believe the current champion Mo Farah is beatable. He should be ready for the big fall.
We know what will be at stake this year and Kenya will be on the lips of everyone, going by their great performance in 2010. They won all the gold medals on oer

from 1986 to 1989 before making it again in 1992. Then Tergat equalled his record, but with another record of winning in succession from 1995 to 1999. However, Diack said the 2011 edition of the championships proved that not only Africans can win medals as American Shalane Flanagan won bronze in senior womens 8km race as Kenyas Vivian Cheruiyot and Linet Masai claimed the rst two places. No Scandinavian country Diack also paid tribute to Cheruiyot and Emily Chebet for raising the level of competition at the event at the 2011 edition. However, Diack regretted that no Balkan and Scandinavian country has graced the event but said the IAAF Cross Country Committee
will hold a seminar in one of these regions to nd out why and what can be done to promote the event. Although we are in Europe, many European countries are not competing here, no one from the Balkan countries, no one from the Scandinavian countries, many countries are not here, he said. Diack said its a matter which the IAAF Cross Country Committee would discuss. We will have a seminar before the end of the year to discuss what can be done. I hope that is not because East Africa is winning a lot of the time, but we have to face this challenge and discuss how to bring back more and more countries to this event. It is, after all, an easy event to organise.
Change of pace the next step for junior champ Chepngetich

Bydgoszcz She may have successfully defended her IAAF World Cross Country Championships junior title over 6km in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz on Sunday but Kenyas Faith Chapngetich now intends to step down in distance in order to challenge the seniors on the track. After emerging as a comfortable winner in the ercely competitive Kenyan trials, last month Chapngetich edged marginally clear of her teammate, Agnes Chebet Tirop, in the closing metres of the race to clinch the gold medal. Im so happy to defend my title in Bydgoszcz, it delights me so much, commented Chapngetich, clutching a cup of tea after warming down after triumphing in sub-zero temperatures. My training went well in the run-up to this event, I was training on Mount Kenya and its a place thats relatively cold as I knew it would be here. I expected to win but I knew it would be tough here, I just hoped to defend my title. The course was tough, there was a lot of ice and it was very cold for me but my hope was still to win. The 19-year-old became only the third woman in the history of the event to defend her title after her compatriot Viola Kibiwot won in 2001 and 2002 and Ethiopias 2012 World indoor 1500m champion, Genzebe Dibaba enjoyed back-to-back victories in 2008 and 2009 before embarking on a ne senior career. However, with the Championships now embarking on a two-yearly cycle, it may be a long time before anyone equals Kipyegons specic feat of winning twice in three calendar years. She is now looking to new challenges, and preferably races in warmer climes. Kipyegon revealed that she now plans to concentrate on the shorter 1500m distance during the forthcoming track season. Last summer, she set a personal best of 4:03.82 in her opening race of the season at the Samsung Diamond League meeting in Shanghai. She returned home and nished third in the Kenyan Olympic trials and, after winning at the 2012 World Junior Championships in a Championships Record of 4:04.96, she was selected for the London 2012 Olympic Games but, sadly, failed to progress beyond the heats. This summer, utilising her Olympic experience as well as the strength gained in cross country races this winter, she hopes that she will be able to compete more effectively against her older peers on the international stage at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow.

Devolution to lock out young stars

BY PHILIP ONYANGO
ponyango@ke.nationmedia.com The devolved system of government is likely to dim the stars of many young champions whose schools will, for the rst time in many years, miss out on the National Secondary School Games. The new system, which has seen some districts merged together into dierent counties and schools from dierent counties classied under singular umbrella terms owing to proximity, will see sti opposition at the regional level, where schools which could otherwise have met at the national nals, will sort themselves out at the regional level. The new system has also seen the provinces abolished and replaced with regions with dierent names following amalgamation. Only Coast Province, which has been renamed Mombasa, Nyanza province, henceforth the Lakeside region and Northern Eastern, which maintains its name, will remain with the same boundaries while the rest of the former provinces either have the inclusion of new districts or have had districts carved out. Nairobi province will now be known as Metropolitan region, and has been expanded to include Kajiado district, chipped o the former Rift Valley, Makueni and Machakos districts, carved out of the former Eastern province. The former Western province has been named Nzoia region with the inclusion of West Pokot and Trans Nzoia districts, formerly part of Rift Valley province, the former Central province will be known as Abaderes region with the inclusion of Laikipia formerly in Rift Valley while the former Rift Valley will be known as Nakuru region. The upper Eastern which has Embu, Meru and Isiolo will be known as the Northern Region Reigning national boys basketball champions Laiser Hill Academy formerly from Rift valley province and Upper Hill who were runners-up at last years national championships held at Maseno School will later this week battle for a sole ticket to the national championships in the new Metropolitan region after Kajiado, Makueni and Machakos districts were merged with Nairobi. Sti competition is also expected in the new Nzoia region(formerly Western province) where former national girls basketball champions Tigoi girls will be up against st Brigit Kitale curved out of Rift Valley for a sole ticket for the national. In Netball it will either be St Cecila Misikhu from Bungoma or former national champions Manor House who are no longer in Rift Valley. According to the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association secretary general David Ngugi, the sports disciplines have also been reorganized with netball ,Rugby 15s and athletics being brought to term one games swapping placed with hockey, Rugby sevens, decathlon and Heptathlon which will now be in term Two A.
KENYAN PREMIERSHIP | Logarusic cautions players against underrating their opponents
Gor accost Ulinzi in city collision

KOgalo to engage soldiers without playmakers Kiongera and Odhiambo
BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com n their second game of the season, Gor Mahia confront 2010 league champions, Ulinzi Stars, tomorrow at the Nairobi City Stadium. In an early kick o match at the same venue, the ambitious Sofapaka side will get the ball rolling as they take aim on 2008 champions, Mathare United. Gor which face a stern test from the soldiers, have been blowing both hot and cold, will be without the services of two key players, something that could aect head coach Zdravko Logarusic game plan. Leading light , Paul Mungai Kiongera, and the ever-green playmaker, Moses Dube Odhiambo, are still nursing injuries and will not resume training until after at least a fortnight. The duo picked injuries two weeks ago and missed the clubs Caf Confederation tie against Egyptian side, ENIPPI, in Cairo slightly over a week ago. Logarusic, however, says he has able replacements. Kiongera and (Moses) Odhiambo have not been training and we dont expect them back until after two weeks from today, but we have to give other players a chance, he said. Logarusic will also have to do without utility defender, David Owino, who played the full match on Saturday in Harambee Stars 1-1 draw with Nigeria. The player was due to jet in last night with Harambee Stars from Lagos. The coach said that Owino would need rest and recover from jet lag, but gave a strong hint that

Edwin Lavatsa, who made a cameo ten-minute appearance in the tie, could be t to play. Worthy opponnets This will be Gors second match of the season after blanking Sofapaka 1-0 in their season-opener. They are currently rooted at position 12, three points adrift of the soldiers who have played three games more. Logarusic has, however, cautioned his charges not to underrate their opponents. We must give them (Ulinzi) full respect. The boys know that they are a top team and so we must never let anything slip. In the absence of
Kiongrea and Dube Odhiambo, Ugandan import , Dan Sserunkuma, who has been an unlikely starter this season, could lead the attacks alongside Rama Salim, as Kevin Ade Omondi prowls in the mideld. The defensive formation, however, is unlikely to change. Ulinzi Stars coach, Salim Ali, on his part heads to the tie under the pressure having just won a single match in four outings. The soldiers beat Bandari FC 1-0 in their seasonopener, but have since registered two draws against Muhoroni Youth and Sofapaka while suering losses of a similar proportions to Stima.
Kahatas free-kick got me off-guard, says Enyeama

Lagos
Super Eagles goalkeeper and captain, Vincent Enyeama (pictured), has admitted that he had no clue that Harambee Stars attacking midelder, Francis Kahata, would curve such an articulate free kick, which left him speechless, literally, in Saturdays World Cup qualifying match in Calabar. According to Nigerian publication Punch Online, the Eagles shotstopper was lost for words at the skills of the 21-year-old Kenyan young star. He said: It was one of the best free-kicks I have ever witnessed. Truly, I never expected such a kick from a Kenyan; thats the kind of shot you expect to get from a South American, like a Brazilian. But you saw what happened; the ball curled very well into his intended angle. I was surprised by his skill. I have seen a lot of free-kicks but not a top corner like that. It was a perfect kick into the right corner, said Enyeama. Kahatas brilliant goal not only put Kenya ahead in the match but also left the best goalkeeper of South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations stranded. That single goal shook the Eagles bench and left fans at the UJ Esuene Stadium wondering just when the match would end. Back home in Nairobi, Kenyan fans cheered and held
Great skill
their breath as they hoped for the best. Against Kenya, Eagles were stretched to the limit and needed a dramatic late equaliser from substitute, Nnamdi Oduamadi, who scored three minutes into stoppage time to save them from a would-be embarrassing home defeat. However, Thika United head coach, John Irungu, who has coached Kahata since he was 16, said that he was not surprised by the skill displayed by his treasured player. I know his talent; he and others, like Miheso (Clifton), always practice the skill (free-kick taking) in our training sessions. He has the potential to even go higher, an impressed Irungu said.

However, France are likely to adopt a more attacking approach in front of their own demanding support in SaintDenis, and Negredo believes that will play into Spains hands. This game will be dierent to the rest of the qualifying campaign, he added. It will be much more open, against a team that will try to create chances and will leave us spaces. We will try to benet from the fact that we will be playing against quality opposition who will look to play football. Deschamps team played with great maturity in holding the European and world champions in Madrid and eased to a 3-1 victory against Georgia on Friday. Goals from Olivier Giroud and Franck Ribery either side of a strike by the superb Mathieu Valbuena allowed Les Bleus to see o the former Soviet Republic and take full advantage of Spains unexpected faux pas. It was like the perfect evening for us, Deschamps said of Friday night. Sticking 11 men behind the ball might appear the most likely way of taking anything from Spain, but Deschamps insists that France will try and take the game to their visitors. My intentions will not change because Spains will certainly not change, said the 44-year-old, who lifted the World Cup as France captain in 1998. They will look to monopolise possession of the ball and win the match. I dont see myself telling my team to just defend. Spain oblige you to defend but a win would be a very good result for us, even if a draw would still be a good result. Our objective is to qualify for the World Cup and the best way to do that is by nishing rst in the group. (AFP)

England braced for journeymen Montenegro

Podgorica, Montenegro
Four days on from their 8-0 rout of San Marino, England face a potentially decisive World Cup qualier today against a Montenegro side who will not be anywhere near as obliging. With four games still to come in Group H, it is too soon to cast the game as a make-or-break encounter, but the ramications for success and failure are vastly dierent. Win, and England will go top of the group, ahead of a kind run-in of xtures that will see them play three of their nal four matches at home. Lose, and they will allow Montenegro to streak ve points clear in the contest for the one and only automatic qualifying berth. Montenegro, 28th in the FIFA ranking, avoided defeat in their two encounters with England in qualifying for Euro 2012 and their Podgorica City Stadium is expected to provide a hostile setting. England manager Roy Hodgson (left), however, says that his side have been steeled for a scrap ever since the start of the qualifying campaign. We always knew this was going to be a bit of a dogght, so only time will tell whether we can aord to lose Tuesdays game, he said. But we are not going there to lose. If Montenegro want the three points they will, hopefully, have to play very well, or we will have to have a very bad day. We have no intentions of having a bad day. We are going into the game with condence. Hodgson is expected to make as many as six changes to the side that demolished San Marino, although centre-back Gary Cahill and forward Theo Walcott will both miss the game through injury. The England manager
Dogght
has also revealed that Liverpool rightback Glen Johnson should be t to play, having been excused from duty in Serravalle to rest a toe injury, although he may need a pain-killing injection. We hope it will get better in the next couple of days, said Hodgson. If it doesnt, it might need an injection, but there is no problem. On Englands last visit to Podgorica, 17 months ago, they recorded a 2-2 draw that allowed them to secure a place at Euro 2012, where they reached the quarter-nals. However, the game was marred by the dismissal of striker Wayne Rooney for recklessly kicking out at Montenegro defender Miodrag Dzudovic. In anticipation that Hodgsons men will once again face an intimidating atmosphere in the Montenegrin capital, England captain Steven Gerrard has urged his team-mates to keep their heads. (AFP)

NOBODY said it better than Brazils representative to the International Monetary Fund, Paulo Nogueira Batista, when he termed the move by Cyprus to impose a tax on customer deposits as a highly problematic decision. He was questioning the wisdom of the IMF and European Union decision to levy tax as part of conditions for the tiny island in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to access a $13 billion (about Sh1.1 trillion) rescue fund. Cyprus, which seats north of Egypt, is a member of the EU, whose members are currently battling a debt crisis. Greece, Spain, and Italy are Cyprus compatriots in the debt quagmire. I was surprised and dismayed by the announcement, Mr Batista told AFP on Thursday. I dont know where that brilliant idea came from... Asked about the criticism, an IMF spokesman told AFP that IMF standard practices were followed in informing the executive boards decision. The proposal is to levy a tax of up to 15 per cent on savings by customers, which has been equated to meting out violence on depositors. In Moscow, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev condemned the IMF-European proposals as absolutely absurd. Moscow, though, is an interested party, with almost half of the deposits traced to Russians, most said to be proceeds from fraud. That brilliant idea now threatens to destroy Cyprus banking industry, with the government ordering banks to remain closed for the past two weeks, an act termed an extreme and rare measure, although not a rst in the world. The closure is to avoid a run on the banks by customers seeking to withdraw their deposits. The country had until yesterday to agree to the bailout terms or, as the German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned mid last week, exhaust the patience of eurozone partners. Cyprus is not the rst to suer because of such absurd decisions. Kenya and a number of developing countries were casualties under the infamous IMF and the World Bank-led structural adjustment programmes in the 1990s dressed as free markets and poverty reduction policies. The generic nature of the policies and non-involvement of the aected countries ended up hurting more than helping them. You can read more about this at http://www.globalissues.org/article/3/ structural-adjustment-a-major-cause-of poverty. My boss once challenged me to name a single country that has developed by listening to the advice of IMF and the World Bank. I am still searching for one, and I hope that Cyprus does not disappoint at this critical moment. WACHIRA KANGARU wkangaru@ke.nationmedia.com

Student makes chair out of rubber bands

An art student started making a ball of rubber bands in class and 65,000 bands later, it has stretched into the worlds bounciest oce chair. Preston Moeller, 26, has turned the classic rubber band ball that can be found in most oces the world over into an art form. He began exing his talents by making models of musical instruments, then a rubber band man, and nally this comfy and colourful chair. It weighs in at a hefty 23 pounds (about 10.4 kilogrammes) and took 300 hours to loop together. Mr Moeller, from Cleveland, North Carolina, began wrapping bands together for an art project tasking students to make something that describes you. A keen saxophonist, he made a small saxophone out of chicken wire covered in rubber bands, which started his obsession rolling. The Appalachian State University graduate said: Soon I had a whole band of instruments made from rubber bands. Then a classmate told me about a chair design competition. It was important that the chair kept the look and feel of the rubber band all the way through. Adding: When guests go to sit in it, they start by bracing themselves with their arms and slowly lowering themselves into the chair. (www.orange.co.uk)

ENERGY
HORTICULTURE THERE IS NEED TO TURN ELSEWHERE TO INCREASE SALES
HOUSES ADOPT GAS AS HIGH PRICES AND HABITAT CONCERNS PUSH OUT CHARCOAL
At one time, charcoal selling was one of the most lucrative businesses in Kenya. Many people took up the business because of high demand for the fuel that was then an aordable source of energy for most families. Fast forward to the present day and the fortunes of the business have plummeted as families switch to cheaper and more ecient sources of energy. The price of charcoal has been on a steady rise, making it expensive and unattractive to households. Things have worsened for charcoal traders as the drive to encourage people to adopt cleaner and more ecient sources of energy, especially cooking gas, intensify. The cost of LPG, which is a clean source of energy, has been on a downward trend for the past year, making it aordable for many households as competition between service providers stiens. The worst-hit charcoal traders are those operating in Nairobi. Dealers in low, middle, and high-income suburbs lament their dwindling fortunes. While middle and high-income families have switched to cooking gas and electricity, households in the lower segment mainly rely on kerosene. Charcoal selling is no longer a lucrative business. It may be just a matter of time before our businesses collapse since people are not buying the product as they used to, said Mr Stephen Metonik, who operates from Komarock.

Unable to clear them Mr Metonik has stocked seven bags of charcoal at his stall, but he cannot recall when he last replenished his stock. I think it was sometime in December or November last year when I had 13 bags. I have not been able to clear them. I had hoped that I would sell most of them during the festive season, but it came and passed. With the pace at which people are buying, perhaps I will have sold them by June, he said. Like many other traders in Nairobi, Mr Metonik sells the charcoal in four kilogramme tins since most customers do not buy a whole bag. I have been in this business for close to three years and I cannot recall selling a whole bag to a customer. People buy in tins, mostly two, said Mr Metonik, who engages in other businesses to keep aoat. Traders blame the increase in charcoal prices to strict government policies structured to stop the depletion of forest cover. Most of the charcoal sold in Nairobi comes from Narok in Rift Valley and Eastern provinces, where environmentalists have complained of declining forest cover. With the increase in price, charcoal remains unattractive to many consumers. The prices of cooking gas and kerosene makes them aordable compared to that of charcoal. If I mainly use charcoal for all my cooking, I will need at least two 5kg tins a day. This comes to about $1.54. It is expensive compared to using kerosene for cooking, said Ms Frida Mbusya, a mother of four who lives in Nairobi. She said a 13 kilogramme cylinder of cooking gas lasts her family about one-and-a-half months, which makes this source of energy cheaper. (Xinhua)
he possibility of the horticultural industry stagnating in coming years has forced Kenya to start looking for new markets According to the Kenya Flower Council chief executive, Ms Jane Ngige, the countrys earnings and production capacity have reached a level of stability and are likely to stay there if Kenya does not scout for new markets. We have sort of reached a plateau and we project the sector to stabilise at this level, but theres aggressive pursuit of new markets to push the sector higher and also to increase our competitiveness, Ms Ngige told Smart Company. She said that last years production was relatively good despite the eurozone crisis, but both earnings and volumes declined marginally compared to 2011. According to statistics from the Horticultural Crops Development Authority (HCDA), Kenya earned Sh89.87 billion from export of flowers, fruits, and vegetables last year, down from Sh91 billion realised in 2011. Of these, cut owers accounted for more than half the export revenues at Sh64.9 billion, with rose owers accounting for Sh39.4 billion of total revenue. The total capacity of the three produce categories flowers, fruits, and vegetables dropped by 4.9 per cent to 205.7 million kilogrammes compared to 216.2 million kilogrammes reported in 2011, but volumes are projected to rise this year due to expected good rainfall. Industry stakeholders, however, say they are exploring new

markets, mostly outside the traditional European zone, where the country also faces sti competition from other producers. According to Elgon Limited director Bimal Kantaria, the industry is eying new customers in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Dubai following strong emergence of other global producers targeting the US and Europe, Kenyas traditional main market. Elgon Limited deals in the supply of inputs for horticultural produce. At the moment, increasing rivalry from countries like India, China, Colombia, and Ecuador has eaten into Kenyas market share, especially in Europe, which accounts for about 90 per cent of the countrys total exports and has taken sector players back to the drawing board to come up with strategies to pursue new markets. Last year, the dip in earnings for the sector was compounded by recession in most European
countries, which eroded purchasing power as the countries resorted to austerity measures to avoid sinking further into debt. According to the National Horticulture Policy document released by the Ministry of Agriculture in June 2012, the African market also presents a good opportunity for Kenyas horticultural products. In the African region (Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Africa, and Egypt), Kenya was between 2006 and 2010 a marginal net importer in terms of volume but a signicant net exporter in value of exports, stated the document. Kenyas exports to these African countries were valued at Sh30.5 billion, which is six times the value of imports of Sh4.8 billion from the region. Horticultural production for the domestic market has a fair share of challenges, with continued inux of similar products from regional markets.
Farmers in Kenya yet to reap the benets of research

Kenyan farmers lack access to useful information that could turn around their fortune and cushion them against heavy losses caused by problems researchers have found solutions for. In a recent Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (Kari) eld day in Embu, farmers were fascinated by fast-growing climbing bean varieties on show, but still did not have any idea they were in the market. We realise that these beans grow really fast, but we dont know where to get them. How do we get them easily so that we can plant them on our farms? One cannot get them easily from seed outlets, said a farmer from Runyenjes in Embu District. Mr Robinson Njiru, another farmer, said, We have been shown high quality semen for breeding cattle but we do not know where to source it. While research bodies in the country such as Kari, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), the International Centre for Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) have continued to churn out new innovations every year, farmers rarely have access to these technologies. Similar problems have been cited across the continent as the biggest hindrance to boosting food security as well as dissemination of new technologies. During the recent African Green Revolution Conference in Oslo, Norway, African scientists complained that although research institutes have developed seeds that can improve crop yields, there has been little to show on the ground. The continuing puzzle for us is that the adaptation of these technologies is very limited. We cannot see yield improvement in our countries, said Spook Bokanga, executive director at the African Agricultural Technology Foundation. deployment of new technologies. Florence Wambugu, the Africa Harvest Biotech Foundation chief executive ocer, says. I believe we need to have a better focus on strategic research, but also need to focus on deploying the research to smallholder farmers. We need to plug the gap between the lab and the eld, says Dr Wambugu. She has been spearheading the promotion of tissue culture bananas in Kenya. In Kenya, the biggest drawback to getting new innovations o the shelf is the poor dissemination of information. While the mass media newspapers and radio have done their part in getting the information through, it has become imperative to get most of the research work to farmers directly, which is expensive. Field days and exhibitions are rare and widely spaced. They are also held in major towns, where most ruralbased farmers cannot visit. Previously, government extension ocers ensured that new innovations in agriculture reached the farmers at the grassroots. With the government cutting back on extension sta, the gap between the researchers and the farmer has continued to yawn, making strides in research of no value to the farmers who badly need them to boost food production. Although Kenya has a well-developed agricultural research system, use of modern science and technology in agricultural production is still limited.
Fail to reach grassroots
Bokanga said a large number of improved seeds and planting technologies are implemented to great success in targeted development projects like the UNs Millennium Villages but fail to move to the grassroots, where they are most needed. While the money for research has increased, funders have ignored the

Working as a strategist in a depressed stock market

Title: Bear Market Investing Strategies Author: Harry D. Schultz Reviewer: (enosnyamor@yahoo.com )
The next time rumours are rife about a drop in stock prices, sit back and act cynic. Take it with calmness. And for a keen investor, it will be the right time to draw the cards. There is no need to be swayed at such crucial times by general opinion. In practice, a market experiencing an acute declination in the value of properties or stocks is termed bearish. This is a natural condition, says the author, a long-time bear market strategist. Like the great empires that ultimately crumbled in spite of all their resources, every market must suer a plunge. A bearish market deserves tact, a factor of uniqueness to any business mind. More specically, this market is a diculty to the established investor. For those who own securities, prices may fall below the average, prompting anxiety over possible nancial disaster. The right time to sell securities, the author says, is during a price lunge. This is done with a rational resolution without deluding oneself that things might brighten up and fall in place, although sometimes it does for a short period. In a way, the value in a market may slightly rise, then take a plunge and, better still, there are more unknown possibilities. But for a bear market strategist, a slight increase is a harbinger to a fall, which could be a sign of an economic depression. Depressions are caused by basic changes of supply or demand or credit, says the author. The other way of approaching a market is by becoming a bear market strategist, who is undoubtedly an optimist. A bull market strategist believes that when market prices are on incline, they would be driven higher by market forces. The bear and the bull market strategists are capital market professionals. Most of their productive time is spent buying or selling securities. This is a more liberal approach to acquiring value, even in the face of uncertainty. Often, a bear market strategist is labelled a deserter for they retract their capital when the market needs it most. However, it is always a result of intense deliberation leading to a bold attempt towards salvaging capital. This action is sometimes unacceptable and must be taken with nimble steps. Such caution is cradled in this book. It follows that a market strategist relies on knowledge in making decisions. And the emphasis on caution looms over the real intentions of the book. Each advice is oered with a warning. As the author strongly emphasises that knowledge on the market shifts are important, but more important are personal judgments. The use of software in decision-making is also reproved.

THREAT HUMAN ENCROACHMENT ON THE INCREASE
Nema halts setting up of projects in Amboseli

Investors wishing to put up hotels will have to wait for a year before getting nod from the habitat body
nvestors intending to build projects in the Amboseli National Park will have to wait for a year before getting licences after the authority responsible for environmental conservation sought to arrest further destruction of the ecosystem. The environment which hosts the famous park has seen rapid and unplanned settlement and construction of facilities fuelled by the increase in the number of tourists. No new developments or projects will be licensed to operate in the area until the Amboseli ecosystem management plan is completed and gazetted, said the National Environment Management Authority (Nema). The one-year moratorium will run until March next year. The implication of the moratorium is that Nema and relevant lead agencies shall not issue requisite licences for any new/proposed developments or projects as listed in the second schedule of Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999, said the notice on moratorium. The notice that took eect from February 28 is expected to aect investors who had planned to set up hotels and other tourist facilities in THE AMBOSELIthe area as they are supposed to wait until March next year when the direcECOSYSTEM tive will be reviewed.

over an area of 5,700 square kilometres from Chyulu hills, Tsavo West National Park to the Kenya-Tanzania border. In 2011, the number of visitors to the national park stood at 167,000, with reports from the Kenya Wildlife Service that the elephant population has increased in recent years. Stakeholders have agreed on the Amboseli ecosystem management plan and have been waiting for its gazettement to arrest the unplanned development that is putting pressure on the natural resources. Apart from human settlement fuelled by the prospects of business brought in by the tourists, horticulture farming is the latest intrusion into the already ailing ecosystem. The plan envisages zoning of the ecosystem to protect the environment by having various activities separated while taking into consideration the concerns of the communities in the area. In the plan, farming zones will be separated from grazing areas while hotels and other social facilities will be in a dierent zone. Amboseli is among the major tourist destinations in the country due to its wide variety of wildlife, scenic landscapes, proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro, and authentic Maasai culture. The decision to institute a moratorium was arrived at after extensive consultations with Kenya Wildlife Service, the Kenya Forest Service, the Olkejuado County Council, the Kenya Investment Authority, the Ministry of Regional Development, and the Amboseli ecosystem trust.

EAC seeks more from its minerals

Lack of comprehensive data on mineral resources, inadequate investment framework, and weak capacity have been cited as barriers to the East African Communitys eorts to secure maximum benets from the regions deposits. According to a statement from the trading bloc, there are a number of barriers standing in the way of the regions eorts to secure optimum returns from its minerals through extractive industries and value addition. In recognition of the challenges, the EAC has requested the Commonwealth Secretariat to provide technical assistance towards formulation of a list of steps to enable the region to maximise the economic value of its abundant mineral wealth. This, it said, will be done through facilitating and regulating development of extractive industries and mineral value addition in a sustainable manner. This will help in improvement of knowledge on availability and utilisation of industrial mineral resources through information dissemination and sharing mechanisms among partner states, reads the statement. It also suggests development of regulatory and institutional framework to facilitate investment in extraction and mineral processing industries and hence stimulate industrial linkages within the region. The secretariat has also recommended strengthening of regional and national capacities in industrial mineral extraction, prospecting, and processing. At a meeting in Bujumbura, Burundi last week, experts were set to netune the nal draft framework to guide the development and promotion of extractive industries and mineral value addition. The meeting aimed to examine and identify the mineral resource potential and opportunities for value addition within the region. It also seeks to identify existing legal, regulatory, and institutional policy frameworks in the extractive and mineral processing industries and examine areas in which alignment of frameworks within the community is most attainable or would be most eective. The experts explored opportunities, challenges, constraints, and linkages associated with development of strategic mineral resources for value addition investment promotion at partner state level and at the regional stage. It is due to make appropriate recommendations on measures and instruments for eective development of extractive industries and mineral value addition in EAC region. -Yvonne Kawira
Ariel washes Omo from top spot as consumers favourite

Survey says that four years after re-entry, detergent is now the leading choice among customers in the Kenyan market
our years after its re-entry into Kenya, Proctor & Gambles washing detergent, Ariel, has edged out Unilevers Omo from the market leader position. According to a survey carried out by Consumer Insight Africa, Ariel now controls 25 per cent of the market while Omo holds 18 per cent. Going by the results of the newest REJA shopper study from Consumer Insight, Ariel has successfully captured a loyal following, said Consumer Insight. Ariels coup is reective of a competition that is gathering steam in the fastmoving goods markets as multinationals and local rms battle it out to capture Kenyas growing consumer base. In 1998, Proctor & Gamble introduced Ariel to Kenya, only to slink out following a bruising battle with the Anglo-Dutch Unilever. In 2009, P&G made a grand re-entry ready to splurge heavily on marketing and with a strategy to gain market leadership in ve years. Nearly four years and one price war later, the company appears to have achieved its growth ambitions. However, Unilever may yet have the last laugh. According to Consumer Insight, although Ariel is now the market leader, a combination of Unilever brands still control the largest chunk of the market. Sunlight detergent, Unilevers answer to the low-end market, now has a market share of 17 per cent. This,
BY MUTHOKI MUMO
mumumo@ke.nationmedia.com
combined with Omos market share means that Unilever holds 35 per cent of the laundry detergent market, well above P&Gs 25 per cent. But Omo and Sunlight both from the multinational have a combined share that more than beats what Number One (Ariel) controls. This proves that a multiple brand strategy within one category is actually workable, said Consumer Insight. Nevertheless, this is a step-down for Unilever, whose Omo has been a market leader for more than four decades. Research rm AC Nielsen in 2009 reported that Unilever controlled 50 per cent of the market. Kapa Oils Toss detergent came in fourth with a six per cent market share, tying with PZ Cussons Ushindi bar soap. Coming in at a respectable position is Ushindi, whose brand is based on the broad appeal at the mid to upper class. This simple fact alone makes it the brand to watch in this segment, said Consumer Insight. Bidcos Gental and Power Boy had four per cent and three per cent market share respectively. Trends in the detergent market are replicated across other segments of the fast-moving consumer goods sector where multinationals have bitten a larger piece of the pie of local industries. Consumer Insight surveys on market share of product categories ranging from bathing soap to spices and sanitary towels show that multinationals, led by P&G and Unilever, are leading the pack. The research firm notes that brands
that are easily recognisable and which have been in the market for decades still hold sway among consumers. In the sanitary towels division, P&Gs Always holds a 62 per cent market share and Consumer Insight warns that it will be extremely expensive for any other brand to topple it from this position. With a consistent marketing formula target the youth, execute relentlessly, grow with your market the brand has successfully engaged its core audience. This dominance, a lead of over 51 per cent, is costly to overcome, so not worth the eort, writes the research rm. Other brands that have beneted from advertising include Unilevers Royco, which was ranked as having the second best television commercial last year. Unilever dominated the list of most memorable advertisements following a survey of 12,000 television and radio commercials. Blue Band, remained a favourite in the spreadable oils and fats segment, capturing about 76 per cent of the market. The brand beat Kapa Oils Prestige Margarine and Bidco Oils Biddy, also buoyed by strategic advertising. Although the big spenders in advertising are multinationals, Consumer Insight found that the utilisation of Kenyan advertising agencies and artists made a crucial dierence in the eectiveness of the advertisement. However, some locally produced adverts were also ranked among the worst performers.

The other organisations required to reconstitute their boards are the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), and the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). They have been accused of ignoring consumers concerns in favour of pursuing businessfriendly policies. Consumer representation is expected to change this. But that is just one facet of a law that is designed to turn the doing of business in the country on its head; from advertising, how banks treat their customers, to mechanics duty in repairing motor vehicles. It seeks to end an era where consumers and their concerns were relegated to footnotes to making them the kings. There has been a denite vacuum in the regulation of consumer matters. This will remedy that, said Prof Joseph Kieyah of the Kenya Institute of Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA). The first beneficiaries, though, seem to be the mushrooming consumer rights groups which, by the publication of the gazette notice, were turned from hecklers of anticonsumer decisions made by the government to an integral part of national policy formulation and regulation. In the past, we have been left on the sidelines and often end up reacting to decisions instead of helping to formulate them. This will change, said Cofek secretary general, Mr Stephen Mutoro. However, acquiring and keeping seats in the regulatory boards will by no means be a smooth ride. For one, consumer organisations in Kenya are a fragmented, poorly funded, and sometimes shadowy lot. In a 2012 report titled The State of the Kenyan Consumer, the Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS), noted that civil society groups and consumer organisations had limited capacity to carry out their mandate and often had little or no government cooperation and support. (There is) lack of long-term sup-

port from government departments for consumer organisations. (Another challenge is) uncooperative regulators and a lack of consumer support, says the CUTS report. Dissenting voices have also warned that the new Act may simply be used for proteering even among the legitimate consumer rights associations. By proceeding to place vetted associations at state regulatory bodies, the new legislation has been criticised on social media as being an avenue for job seekers wearing consumer protection clothes. But time will tell, said ICT Consumers Association chairman, Mr Alex Gakuru. While acknowledging these challenges, Mr Mutoro said the newly effected law makes explicit provisions for the regulation of consumer rights associations. Only those organisations registered under the Societies Act for purposes of consumer protection will be allowed to nominate members to the nine-member Advisory Committee that is tasked with spearheading consumer-friendly policies. The Advisory Committee has also been granted the power to monitor the development of consumer associations as well as create industry standards for the conduct of such

disdain over the manner in which the CCK has handled the matter of digital migration, even going to the courts to challenge the commission. Last week, Mr Mutoro publicly chided the ERC for increasing the price of fuel. Once the members of the Advisory Committee are appointed and consumer rights representatives seconded to regulatory bodies, they will have the formidable task of bringing the rights of the customer into focus in a market where these rights have been consigned to the back burner for years. Before the gazettement of the Act, the rights of Kenyan consumers were addressed in no less than nine pieces of legislations implemented by as many agencies. Although not necessarily incompetent, these agencies were often unable to deliver their consumer protection mandate due to overlapping responsibilities and competing priorities. They have other priority objectives apart from consumer protection and the latter is often a secondary role, which faces implementation challenges, notes CUTS. The new law will, therefore, consolidate the breadth of consumer protection provisions from myriad sectors under one overarching regime. Further, the new law provides Kenyan consumers with unprecedented protection and empowers them to seek redress. In line with provisions made in the Constitution, consumers will now be free to pursue class action suits without rst seeking the approval of the courts. Class suits are those in which a group/class of people can bring a claim to a court against one or more parties. This is bound to be a game changer locally. As the ease of l-
ing such suits increases, companies are likely to be wary of sparking the wrath of consumers and risking heavy nes in damages. There have been fears that the tightening of these regulations could potentially harm Kenyas business environment. Mr Kieyah, however, argues that the private sector is equally empowered and that the co-existence of robust lobbies on behalf of both businesses and consumers will create the ideal operating environment. The interests of consumers and businesses are antithetic to one another. In the process of both these forces pulling in opposite directions, we are likely to see more balanced government policies, he said. Nevertheless, Kenyan businesses will have to go back to the drawing board on some of their strategies, especially in marketing, as a consequence of the new regulation. The Act elaborates on deceptive advertising and proposes nes of up to Sh10 million for some of these practices. Commentators have, however, warned that the Act will not be a panacea for all that aicts the Kenyan consumer. Mr Gakuru notes that as long as a culture of impunity when it comes to economic crimes persists, the Act will do little to change the current situation. Further, although the law might be in place, Kenyas consumer base remains unaware of its rights and might, therefore, need aggressive public education before it can start taking corporates to task. One hopes that the body charged with consumer protection under this Act does not turn out to be like the moribund Monopolies and Prices Commission of Kenya, occasionally popping up with sweet comments, but whose market and consumer protection eects were rarely felt, said Mr Gakuru.

bodies. We have seen people say that they are ghting for consumer rights but they have not always been legitimate. The Act oers this legitimacy, said Mr Kieyah.
Even so, there is the inescapable fact that providing consumer lobbies platforms in regulatory bodies may in some cases create strange bedfellows. The associations have often collided with government regulators
over fundamental issues and if they are unable to reconcile their dierences, it could result in lags in the implementation and enforcement of government regulations. Cofek, in particular, has expressed

price of a 50 kilogramme bag of fertiliser is Sh3,500 in the stores. The board sells it at Sh2,480. The boards public relations manager, Mr Evans Wasike, has, however, asked farmers not to worry, saying the NCPB would supply them with the input as soon as the case was determined. We have already awarded the tender and are just waiting for the ruling this month before we start normal distribution of fertiliser to farmers, said Mr Wasike. The NCPBs North Rift regional manager, Mr Jonah Marindich, told farmers to be patient as the importation of fertiliser was already underway. However, some farmers are worried that they cannot wait because the rains are almost starting. It is better that I buy the fertiliser at a higher price and avoid the inconvenience of planting late, said Mr Peter Okumu, a farmer in Trans
he absence of a popular brand of subsidised fertiliser and rising costs of maize seed have growers worried. A 25 kilogramme bag of maize seed is now selling at Sh4,500, up from Sh3,750 after the Kenya Seed Company increased the price by 20 per cent. For the past two years, growers have had it rough during the planting season owing to a number of hiccups, among them the distribution of fertiliser after planting has started. Last year a court case led by MEA Limited questioning the procedure that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) was using to distribute fertiliser almost paralysed farming. The suit saw the distribution of the input start late, forcing some farmers to plant without the crucial ingredient.

As this safeguards against vapour lock, users are always assured of the best possible stopping power. He said another benet is the brake uids limited water take-up, which is technically known as low hygroscopy. The life of vehicle brake circuits is protected by HBF 5.1 because it is compatible with both natural and synthetic rubber parts and does not corrode metals, he added.

Private importers have 100,000 tonnes of planting fertiliser and it would be wise for the government to buy from

them, then sell it to farmers at a subsidised rate, he said. Mr Muriuki, however, asked farmers not to wait. This comes in the wake of the board urging farmers to use other types of fertiliser instead of waiting for the subsidised Diammonium Phosphate (DAP). For long, farmers have been using DAP as the only source of planting fertiliser, but it is time they changed by adopting alternatives such as SSP and NPK, which are equally productive, said Mr Marindich. A visit by Smart Company at Eldoret established that some farmers have decided to go for alternatives.

KFA asks growers to test their soils for acidity

The Kenya Farmers Association has asked growers in the North Rift region to take their soils to the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (Kephis) laboratories for acidity testing. According to the associations Iten branch manager, Mr Moses Karamai, it is important for farmers to know this so that they can be advised on the most appropriate type of fertiliser to use for maximum yields. The KFA manager said farmers should submit the samples at the KFA oces for onward transmission to the Kephis laboratories in Kitale or to the University of Eldoret formerly, known as Chepkoilel College, for testing. Speaking during a stakeholders meeting in preparation for the Kamariny agricultural exhibition last week, the county director of agriculture, Mrs Esther Tallam, said studies had shown that soil in the area was highly acidic and was negatively aecting production. She said that farmers preferred using Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) since the crops do well even without topdressing, but said in the long run, it aects the soil and appealed to them to consider using Nitrogen Phosphate and Potassium (NPK) or Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertiliser. If the crops are topdressed with Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) they can still do well, she said. Given that there is high demand for agricultural inputs as the planting season gets underway, Mrs Tallam called on farmers to beware of fake inputs sold by unscrupulous traders who may take advantage of the high demand. She, therefore, advised farmers to keep the receipts, the seed packaging, and lot number until harvest time, saying this would enable them to seek compensation in case the crops did not do well. She added that this would also enable seed companies and the Agriculture Ministry to trace where the seeds were bought. The forums head, Mr Jonathan Chesesio, called on the National Cereals and Produce Board to provide the NPK fertiliser at Iten town to save farmers the cost of travelling to Eldoret for the same.

EAC to set up shared markets along borders

Shared markets will be set up for communities residing at the borders of the ve East African Community member states, further enhancing regional integration. The communities will also enjoy better facilities after a draft report that will see the setting up of the shared markets, among other facilities that include water, sanitation, storage facilities, information centres, access roads, and health facilities, was adopted last week. The rst meeting of experts noted that border communities within EAC partner states are faced with many challenges and, therefore, agreed that these facilities be shared by the member states, said the East Africa Secretariat. Part of the criticism of the East African Community trading bloc was its lack of focus on local residents, hence the inability to make many embrace the regional integration concept that was viewed as state-driven rather than people-driven. The meeting held last week was to also to consider locations for these facilities and explore ways of mobilising funds for putting them up. The parley convened under the African Trade Policy Centre is a culmination of discussions that have been going on about how to empower the communities residing at the boundaries of these states to enhance regional integration. The residents have been trading among themselves for many years, even before EAC was mooted, mostly through informal means, making it dicult for states to get appropriate data on the volume and type of business carried out.

LIABILITY THERE ARE TOOLS CYBER-CRIMINALS CAN USE TO HIDE THEIR ACTIVITIES
Happy managers, happy sta, and happy customers

Every time I walk into a retail outlet, restaurant, or front oce, I am quick to notice if the sta are happy or unhappy. Those who are happy are always lively and willing to help. The sad ones are usually gloomy, negative, and uninterested in their customers and possibly even in their colleagues. Another major but unfortunate observation is that some unhappy sta are only eager to assist their customers when their unhappy manager is watching. Even when we telephone an organisation, we may be quick to identify whether the person receiving the call is sluggish or upbeat and this, too, can be a good indicator of their happiness levels. Many surveys have linked happy sta to happy customers and happy shareholders. Is your organisation proactively driving sta happiness? Hearty discussion I believer that sta happiness at work starts at the individual level. Happiness is largely a choice we make. I shared this thought at a recent training and a number of frontline sta were of a dierent opinion. They felt that their bosses determine their happiness at work. After a hearty discussion, most participants decided to make happiness at work their responsibility, irrespective of their managers happiness levels. When recruiting for my clients, I look out for managers and sta who are positive and enthusiastic. If the sta will be dealing with customers all day, they had better be keen to help them and in the process manage their feelings eectively. Managers, too, must create the right environment. On a happiness scale, would your managers and sta rate as very happy? Some managers and business owners assume that sta happiness is wholly a factor of pay and benets. At the point of hiring a sta, the pay is agreed upon. Unhappiness can only result if an organisation fails to honour a promise or does not make clear the performance targets pay raises will be based on. If a promise is made to review the pay annually, then it needs to be kept. Pay and benets There is, however, more to sta happiness than pay and benets. My all-time favourite customer service centric organisation, Zappos.com, is a true believer that for its customers to be happy, then the sta must be happy, too. In his book, Delivering Happiness: A Path to Prots, Passion, and Purpose, the CEO, Tony Hsieh, shows how creating a company culture that values happiness, then delivers on it can achieve remarkable results. Many sta members are unaware that happiness at work is their responsibility and, as such, managers must proactively drive a culture of happiness. If you want happy customers, you need to start by being a happy manager. In her book, Make More Money by Making Your Employees Happy, Dr Noelle Nelson explains it this way: When employees feel that the company takes their interest to heart, then the employees will take company interests to heart, Care more about your sta and they will not only care more about your customers, but will do it happily. Are you a manager? You could simply start every day with a warm hearty greeting to make your team feel appreciated. World Happiness Day was on March 20, but that does not mean that we should not have a happy day today.

Social media and the vice of hate speech in cyberspace

Any attempt to mess up with social media freedom will be seen as state-censorship, yet it can be used to forment trouble
BY ESMOND SHAHONYA
shahonya76@gmail.com.
uring the Arab spring revolution, the Libyan government showed the lengths to which some states can go in a bid to tame the cyber world. The country had an Eagle spy system whose purpose was to perform massive interception of Internet content. The traffic from Libyas Internet service providers and mobile phones was harvested using a method known as deep-packet inspection, thus enabling security agents to intercept emails, online chats ,and Facebook messages. Whereas some Internet interception systems carry out basic ltering on IP address, the Eagle spy system of Libya analysed and stored all the communications in a massive style of interception. The system was designed to provide cyberspace surveillance and tame social media. However, it failed to tame the uprising, paving the way for the unthinkable approach of shutting down the Internet. Generally, in cyberspace, it is tricky to dissect the four aspects of freedom of expression, state security, privacy, and on-line policing. In the real sense, if a country decides to mess with the freedom of the Internet, it turns into a case of state censorship, attracting global criticism, just like what has been happening to China and the Arab world. Social media gives many users a voice that they would not have got from mainstream media. Sites like Facebook are visited by millions of people who share information and interact in virtual meeting joints. In the political world, social media and the Internet at large provide a forum where users and politicians share information. The dark side of this rears its head on the web when users abuse their rights of expression or engage in criminal activities. Such is the case for hate speech as we embrace this transition period. Technically, the task of dealing with vices like hate speech in cyberspace is tricky. A keen observation of the hate speech on the Web reveals that many of the posts are done by people hiding behind anonymous identities. The In-
Challenges
ternet is well known for ease of anonymity. A user in a public cyber caf can log onto a website with an anonymous identication, email, or username. The case of Internet anonymity is made even trickier with the availability of programmes and apps that promote extra stealth and multimedia messages that self-destruct to conceal evidence. Some free web programmes oer anonymous URLs and email identities that can help a person to post content without a trace. The same anonymous identities and the posted content can also be designed to vanish from the web through a self-destructing mechanism so that there is no trace left of any communication. The government can trace people with the help of Internet protocol addresses. However, the basic fact is that connected devices can either use that static address or the dynamic address. Now, the tricky part of tracking a person is when dynamic IPs are in use. There are tools and softwares on the Web that can be used by a techsavvy purveyor of hate speech to hide all his dirty laundry and escape without a trace. Such stealth browsing tools are sometimes used by hackers and cybercriminals to hide their activities.

Kenya, like other countries on the globe, has a daunting task of taming cyberspace-related vices as well as crimes on other digital platforms. Recently, Information permanent secretary Bitange Ndemo said mobile telephone service providers block more than 300,000 text messages deemed to spread hate daily. The government, through the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, has also revealed that four individuals face arrest for spreading hate speech on social media. Social media creates virtual meeting joints for discussion, debate, and exchange of information. Such a sphere will certainly attract the prying eyes of the state and Internet marketers. It is worth noting that the basis of the business of social networking sites and Internet companies like Google is vested in advertisements based on the users information, interests, and demographics. Besides, in the quest for state security, some countries resort to crude methods like Libyas Eagle spy system, hence leaving users open to privacy breaches.

TIP AS AN EMPLOYER, ASK YOUR WORKERS HOW YOU CAN HELP THEM
MANAGEMENT DAVID MUTURI
A business-oriented government would do great for Kenya

I WISH FOR an entrepreneurial government. These are times of great expectations in our country, great expectations in terms of transformation of how we manage our aairs, how we run our institutions, our resources, our leaders, and the led. As I was reecting on my own expectations and sought to know what can work, I came across a book whose content I would be happy to share with our governors and other leaders whom we are looking up to for change. The book, Reinventing Government: How the Entrepreneurial Spirit Is Transforming the Public Sector, is written by Osborne, David, and Ted Gaebler. The authors talk about 10 principles of an entrepreneurial government, which in my view would meet the great expectations in our counties and the nation as a whole. The great expectations would be met by an entrepreneurial government that is catalytic, that separates steering or providing guidance and direction from rowing or producing goods and services. It focuses on creating an environment for producing rather than attempting to produce. These huge expectations would be quenched by a communityowned government that empowers rather than serves. It pushes control of services out of bureaucracy into the community. The Constituency Development Fund is an excellent example. We should do more of this. It would be nice to have a government that encourages competitiveness for cost eciency, not necessarily privatisation, but ensuring good use of resources to stretch to the limit for maximum coverage. Mission-driven government It would be nice to have a mission-driven government that deregulates internally to eliminate burdensome internal rules and simplifying their administrative systems such as budget and procurement. This would then free managers to nd the best way to accomplish that mission within legal bounds. It would be exciting to have a result-oriented government that funds the outcomes and not the inputs. This would shift accountability from inputs to outputs the results. This will ensure that they measure performance and reward agencies accordingly, so they often exceed their goals. It would work to have a customer-driven government that pays attention to meeting the needs of the customer with as little bureaucracy as possible. Such a government would make an effort to perceive the needs of the customers and to give them a choice of producers. They would use surveys and focus groups to listen to their customers, and put resources in the customers hands. Great expectations would be met by an enterprising government that earns rather than spends, this government would stress on earning rather than spending money. They charge user fees and impact fees, and use incentives such as enterprise funds, shared earnings, and innovation funds to encourage managers to earn money. Great expectations would be met by an anticipatory government that believes in prevention rather than cure, a government that seeks to prevent problems rather than delivering services to correct them. They redesign budget systems, accounting systems, and reward systems to create the appropriate incentives. Great expectations would be met by a decentralised government that shifts from hierarchy to participation and teamwork. Such a government transfers decision-making authority to those individuals and organisations at the bottom of the group hierarchy. They restructure organisations and empower employees and create labour-management partnerships. And nally, a market-oriented government that leverages on change through the market by utilising the market mechanism instead of an administrative programme to provide goods and services to the public. They reinvent themselves through the application of marketoriented incentives.

Building a family-friendly workplace for your sta

As a business head, there is a need to create a exible system for workers who are building their career while at the same time raising their children
ith the release of the book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating ocer at Facebook, there has been a lot of healthy debate in the US about how companies can enable employees, especially women, to pursue their goals at work while raising children and caring for their family. With women entering the workforce in increasing numbers, and since technology has blurred the lines between working hours and personal time, people in many countries now face the same problems. Reading Lean In, Sheryls personal story of how she struggled to balance family and work as she advanced in her career, reminded me of how essential exibility in the workplace is when you are raising a family. At the Virgin Group, we are committed to making sure that our female sta have the tools they need to succeed, and that is one of the reasons Virgin America has taken part in activities arranged by the nonprot group LeanIn.org, which was established with the mission of oering women inspiration and support to help them achieve their goals. Whether you are launching a startup or helping to grow an established company, nding solutions tailored to your groups needs will help you to build a happy, creative, dedicated team. Here are three suggestions that will help you to design more effective policies:
1.
Make your oce familyfriendly.
Many people spend more waking hours at the oce than at home, which can be problematic for employees who must also handle the chores of family life: caring for young children and sick family members, and helping the elderly. As a business leader, you should creatively provide family-friendly benets, which will help your company to attract and retain sta. Flexible work arrangements and guaranteed paid family leave tell workers that you recognise and value their responsibilities. In Lean In, Sheryl admits that she did not realise how cumbersome parking in a spot far from the office entrance could be for pregnant women until she got pregnant, and only then did she ask her employer to reserve some spots close to the doorway for expectant mothers. Not everyone has the authority or condence to speak up like Sheryl, so be sure to ask your sta how you can help do not wait for them to come to you.

Sheryl puts the responsibility on women to speak up, take advantage of opportunities, and prove themselves as leaders, but from my perspective, companies also need to do more. Make sure, for example, that at your company women get equal pay and that they are given opportunities to prove themselves able to take on leadership roles. The exible policies you put in place at your rm can help all your sta to succeed. One of our employees at Virgin, Debbie, has worked from home since her rst days with us. This arrangement allowed her to raise two
Sheryl encourages all women to lean in and speak up: She cites a meeting where there was not enough room at a table, and so former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithners young female associates elected to sit in the back of the room. But business leaders need to do their part by listening something we all need to be reminded about pretty frequently. If people are not speaking up, it is your responsibility to change that situation: At the meeting with Geithner, one of the senior executives should have ordered a larger table when the problem became evident, or just gotten rid of it and rearranged the seating so that everybody could contribute to the discussion. When your employees do speak up, then it is your turn: it is time to earn their condence by acting on their feedback, whether that means simply discussing a decision or promoting their ideas. While there are many ways to congure an oce, the workplace is no place for old-school thinking. If you have ideas for creating a vibrant work environment where women and men can juggle their many work and family roles, please send them in.

ccessKenya continued its lead as the best performing counter this year at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, closing last weeks trading up 21 per cent. Last year the share price gained over 60 per cent and has already bagged another 98 per cent jump this year. Opening trading at Sh4.25 per share in January 2013, the stock closed last week at Sh8.47.
Analysts at NIC Securities said speculative trading of the Internet service providers counter started with its managements statement about being open to a potential takeover at the right price. The rally has persisted, with the stock hitting a fresh 12-month high of Sh8.45. The counter is riding on renewed investor confidence following the strong full-year performance as well as the announcement by major shareholders that they were open for a takeover, said the analysts. AccessKenya reported a 39 per cent increase in full-year earnings that saw it pay a dividend for the rst time in three years. The company is riding on increased subscription, with their corporate segment netting 700 more customers to 5,400.
Open to investor
ket, Afrika Investment analyst Ronald Lugalia told Smart Company. The Internet service provider has embarked on strengthening and optimising its network to increase eciency, targeting the corporate sector for increased business deals, which look headed to boost its revenues going forward. According to Standard Investment Bank (SIB) analysts, who attended an investor brieng with the company last week, AccessKenya looks to spend Sh300 million in capital expenditure this year, with a chunk of the nances expected to expand its bre network to reach more buildings and move some existing clients from WiMax. 2012 had started weaker as a result of a slowdown around the elections but expected business to pick up. The company is increasing its focus on IT and value-added services for the coming years, SIB analysts noted in their weekly report. In the full year that ended in December 2012, the company reported a 39 per cent rise in after-tax prots to Sh151 million, compared to Sh109 million reported in 2011, supported by increased connections and strengthening its grip on the corporate market segment. The company also resumed payment of dividend of Sh0.30 per share to its shareholders after a three-year drought.

OVERVIEW
Telcos counter dominates trade even as turnover declines

THE NSE 20 Share Index shaved o a total of 60.52 points last week to stand at 4,713.60 points. The All Share Index (NASI) slid 0.19 per cent to settle at 113.45 points. Week-onweek turnover declined to Sh2.36 billion from Sh4.12 billion posted the previous week while the number of shares traded stood at 117 million. The telecommunication and technology industry was, as always, the busiest sector, trading 47 million shares, representing 40.46 per cent of the weeks traded volume. The bond market registered reduced activity with bonds worth Sh7.1 billion ATHI RIVER MINING LTD. (ARM) transacted, compared to Sh7.5 billion posted the previous week. ATHI RIVER Mining dipped 2.17 per cent for the week despite showing strong protability for the year 2012 to settle at Sh68. Its turnover increased to Sh11.4 billion from Sh8.1 billion, thanks to cement sales which rose by 64 per cent from increased market share in Kenya and Rwanda and contribution of three months sales from its Dar es Salaam plant, which became operational in October 2012. SAMEER AFRICA Limited pulled up 3.9 per cent last week as investors scrambled for the stock on the back of improved results. The groups turnover grew by 7.9 per cent to stand at Sh3.96 billion in 2012 driven by Yana tyres brand sales, which grew by eight per cent as a result of competitive pricing, aggressive sales, and marketing thrust in new export markets. Reduction in imported raw material costs impacted favourably on prot margins, allowing its earnings before tax to rise to Sh300.6 million from 148.4 million in 2011 a 102.5 per cent jump. LIMURU TEA Company traded at at Sh470, barely registering any bullish interest despite impressive results for last year. Its total turnover increased by 13.7 per cent to Sh116 million from Sh102 million in 2011. Fair weather conditions in the fourth quarter of last year and favourable tea prices provided support to the increased sales. Pre-tax prots rose by 145 per cent to Sh146.6 million as a result of a 98 per cent increase in the value of biological assets and a 74 per cent increase in nance income. NATION MEDIA Group rose 13.83 per cent to close at Sh321, exchanging a total 426,000 shares for the week. The mini rally was partly driven by its end-year results, which showed its turnover increasing by 9.82 per cent to Sh12.3 billion on the back of improved performance by new products and market share gains. Pre-tax prot increased by 24.7 per cent to Sh3.5 billion from Sh2.8 billion in 2011. The directors also recommended, subject to the approval of the shareholders, the Capital Markets Authority, and the Nairobi Securities Exchange, the issue of one new fully paid ordinary share for every ve ordinary shares held.

CNOOC says 2012 prot fell 9.3 per cent

CHINESE oil giant CNOOC on Friday reported that 2012 net prot fell 9.3 per cent, blaming higher operating costs including exploration and the poor global economy. The state-owned energy company said net prot for last year was 63.69 billion yuan ($10.25 billion), down from 70.26 billion yuan in 2011. Revenue rose 2.8 per cent to 247.63 billion yuan
from 240.94 billion yuan the previous year. The Beijing-based company attributed the fall in prots to the increased cost of searching for new wells and operating existing ones. Operating expenses increased by 17.4 per cent to 21.45 billion yuan, while exploration costs increased by 73.3 per cent, the company said in a ling to the Hong Kong stock exchange, where it is listed. CNOOC said it saw a net production 342.4 million barrels of oil equivalent, a 3.2 per cent year-on-year increase, largely due to greater production from North American shale oil and gas projects and oil sands project in Canada. In 2011 CNOOC took over Canadian oil sands developer OPTI for around $2.1 billion. (AFP)

A one-man judicial system

Patrick Shaw, a man described by former President Moi as oering constant, seless, sacricial and untiring service to law and order for the benet of his fellow men, was also accused by Parliament of extrajudicial killings. Despite his larger-than-life persona, the dreaded police hitman was not infallible
Poof!

COVER STORY
Kablam! The only language

Many have questioned why this police hitman operated as if he was above the law, why he broke the very rules he was supposed to uphold by playing the role of investigator, judge and executioner. The explanation given at the time is that Shaw knew that, should the men he arrested be sent to jail, they would come out harder and even more dangerous. The correctional facilities of the 1970s were nothing to write home about, as were the courts. Reporting by David Smith
t was in Dagoretti in 1986 when I rst saw Patrick Shaw in action, a friend of mine recalled. A gang of five had robbed a shop and taken o in a getaway car. The Flying Squad and Shaw showed up in minutes and encircled the area, trapping the suspects. Shaw parked his trademark Volvo and laid in wait along a road that was the only known way out. As the officers from the Flying Squad began to ush out the suspects, they radioed to Shaw that their vehicle was enroute towards him. Soon, the thugs getaway burst through a corner, bearing down on him. Shaw jumped into the middle of the road, a pistol in each hand, and began to unload on the occupants of the car. The driver was the rst to he hit, bringing the car to an abrupt halt, the eyewitness remembers. His passengers tried to escape, but they were also shot down. One by one, the bodies of Shaws victims were turned over for identification. As a crowd gathered, Shaw called the fallen criminals by name, then turned to the crowd and, as he always did on such occasions, warned them to stay o crime. In the midst of all this madness, the Flying Squad dragged in, alive, another suspect, still clutching onto the loot. After perusing through the contents of the bag, Shaw asked the police ocers to step aside, raised his pistol and... kablam! The crowd gasped in horror, unable to believe how a man of the law could execute a suspect in cold blood and in the full view of the public. But that was not Shaws most famous encounter. It came in 1977, when he gunned down Nairobis most infamous gangster Nicholas Mwea, alias Wakinyonga. Wakinyonga was huge, very rough and tough. He stood out from the crowd courtesy of his dreadlocks, jewellery and fancy clothes. In the 70s, a man in dreadlocks stood out like a billboard. After a spate of violent robberies, the culmination of which was the murder of the CEO of Total Kenya in broad daylight, Wakinyonga became Kenyas most wanted criminal, and Shaw started hunting him down. The man had a colourful history with the police and the law courts, but when he learned that Shaw was
trailing him, he knew that the end was nigh. The Standard reported that, as Shaw closed down on him, Wakinyonga dug his own grave in the backyard of the house he lived in and went on a spending spree, buying people crates of beer at Nyakombani Night Club in Nairobis Kangemi area. One night, as he was enjoying his beer, Shaw stepped into the club. Wakinyonga looked up and beheld the burly man smile coyly at him. This was going to be easy for the crime-buster, after all. After a shoot-out during which several patrons were injured, Wakinyonga lay in a pool of blood, dead. But, even though the ocial story is that it was Shaw who red the fatal bullet, an aging taxi driver who says he witnessed it all says Shaw happened into the scene minutes after Wakinyonga had been shot dead by the police, and that the grave in his backyard was actually a newly dug pit latrine. But the drama was not over yet in the Wakinyonga script. At the funeral, as the fallen criminals casket was being lowered into his grave, Shaw led a group of police ocers into the scene and ordered everyone to lie face-down. Many were arrested for questioning. That was trademark Shaw. Whenever he gunned down a suspect, he always made a point of showing up at the funeral, where he would arrest a number of mourners, including family members, for questioning. He would then proceed to warn anyone who looked suspect to never step in Nairobi, or else... Many have questioned why the man operated as if he was above the law, why he broke the very rules he was supposed to uphold by playing the role of investigator, judge and executioner. The explanation given at the time was that Shaw knew that, should the men he arrested be sent to jail, they would come out hardened and even more dangerous. The correctional facilities of the 1970s were nothing to write home about, as were the courts. Many thugs could somehow bribe their way out of the tightest of cases. In an era where the capacity of the police and the CID was limited, and where corruption and crime were rampant even within the police ranks and the Judiciary, Shaws crime-ghting techniques

Peter Njuguna Kimani wails after being arrested by the police on robbery-withviolence charges in 1978. Back then, a wave of crime engulfed Nairobi, and police reservist Patrick Shaw was billed as the only man who could put things back in order. Njuguna was later jailed for eight years, but he was among the lucky few. Had he crossed paths with Shaw, he would have been killed on the spot.
had to be equally unethical and brutal. One criminal named George Kamau, alias Slim, a protg to Wakinyonga and leader of a gang known as the Disciples of Jesus, knows that all too well where he sleeps, forever. Slim is alleged to have killed 52 people in the late 1970s and 1980s. After getting o on a series of technicalities or because of scared witnesses withdrawing their testimonies, Slim was nally put away for six years for three separate violent crimes in 1981, but not before threatening to kill Shaw. A month before Slim was released, Shaw visited Kamiti prison and warned him that, once free, he was to leave Nairobi forever. Slim, of course, ignored the warning and proceeded to do various jobs in the city. It was not long before Shaw decided to put things to rest. One night, as Slim and another suspected criminal named Stephen Mbaraka Karanja whiled the evening away in the city, they were accosted by a team of police

ocers who bundled them into a car and headed to Karura Forest. There, it is alleged, the two were shot dead on the orders of Shaw. So, was this man a crimebuster or a psycopath let loose on the streets of Nairobi... with a loaded gun? Many who spent time with or
near him say they were convinced the man had a split personality. Despite the extrajudicial killings and his run-ins with the darker side of Nairobi, one of his informants says, the man would every now and then exhibit the traits of a humanitarian angel. For instance, he was able to set aside his psycopathic ways and become the principled, fun-loving guy at Starehe Boys Centre. A police ocer he worked with described Shaw as completely out of control and out of bounds of the constitutional description of what an ocer should be . He did not report to any particular police station, he used his personal car, and had no xed jurisdiction, the retired police ocer says, but admits that it was this nature of self-deployment that made Shaw so eective. To counter the claim that the man reported to no one, and was thus some sort of a one-man vigilante, a former informant cites that Shaws rank was Senior Superintendant of Police, and that his position as a police reservist justied his modus operandi.

THE JM KARIUKI MYSTERY
FILE | NATION
Top right: A Nairobi businessman shows injuries sustained during a robbery attack in 1979. Above: A suspects relative begs for his life along Nairobi streets in 1978. Patrick Shaw is said to have instilled both fear and loathing in the hearts of criminals in the city.
Despite roiling and toiling with Nairobis most wanted, none of them ever got the best of Big Pat Shaw. But in July 1979, the man had his closest shave with a thug. One Friday afternoon, a gang of three Ugandans stormed into the house of Dr Gulam Mustafa while the family was having lunch. They shot death the Mustafas house-help Simon Ngeresa, his wife Jane and Mustafas wife Parvin before ransacking the house for loot, after which they harassed Mustafas two daughters and a nephew of the family. While they were still in the house, Shaw pulled up at the family gate. One of the gang members red through the window of Shaws car, hitting him in the shoulder. Shaw sped to Nairobi Hospital for treatment, but the police arrived shortly afterwards to clean up the mess. One of the gang members was gunned down while bystanders and police captured another. A submachine gun was found on the dead suspect, later identied as Marua Wakamune, but Patrick Walimba, the man blamed for shooting Shaw, escaped.
After having the bullet removed, Shaw refused to spend the night at the hospital, upon which Dr Georey Grin, Starehes Director, was called in to talk to his friend. Griffin arrived at the hospital to nd Shaw pacing the hallways. An assistant administrator with gangrene would be of little use, Grin told Shaw, and eventually persuaded him to stay one night and to take it easy. In 1981, Shaw nally caught up with Walimba and, in the presence of other officers, gunned-down the gangster at a bar in Jerusalem Estate. It is difficult to estimate, even modestly, how many suspected gangsters Shaw killed. Literally hundreds, one former informant estimates. At least one fatality a week. But the man was, like all men, still mortal. On February 14, 1988, while visiting a friend named David Rowe, Shaw started feeling weak. His heart was failing. It is said he was reading a newspaper when he stood up shouting and fell to his knees, his gun still in its holster. He was rushed to Nairobi Hospital where he was pronounced dead, aged 52. The next morning, all three major newspapers run front-page stories on the man who was known simply as crime-buster . Over the course of the following week, condolences were telephoned and wired in from around the world. On Saturday, February 20, 1988, the once indomitable Patrick David Shaw was laid to rest. The Starehe school chapel, where the funeral service was held, was packed to absolute capacity, while hundreds more sat on the grass of the quadrangle , a newspaper reported. A group of boys, some of whom considered Shaw their father, carried his con past the buildings built under his supervision and through the funds he helped to raise into a

hearse. The cortege of police cars and motorcycles that accompanied the man on his nal journey to Langata cemetery was two miles long. It was like a royal procession, remembers his sister. Chief Justice Cecil Miller read a message of condolence from then President Daniel arap Moi, praising Shaw for his constant, selfless, sacricial and untiring service to law and order for the benet of his fellow men . Shaws close friends, including the late Georey Grin, scoed at the notion that Shaw died from anything
The sun shines for both the evil and the good, but there are those who keep their faces to the sunshine and cannot see their shadow, Shaw is reported to have once said. At the time, he had come under scrutiny over his extrajudicial killings and the omnipresence he exhibited in the criminal underworld. It was, however, the disappearance and later murder of politician J M Kariuki that sent shivers down the hitmans spine. His character had been called to question by MPs, who wondered how the man was always the rst to arrive at scenes of crime, way before the police did. When word went around that Shaw had been involved in the arrest of JM, the world started crumbling all around him. Suddenly, he was no longer a revered crime-buster, but a likely criminal himself. In 1981, John Keen, then Assistant Minister in the Oce of the President, was summoned to give testimony to Parliament on the progress the government had made in controlling crime. Nine hundred and eighty one gangsters were arrested in the past year, he testied. In a supplementary question, one MP asked: And why is it that Patrick Shaw is always the rst to arrive on the scene of a crime and not African police? Parliament erupted in laughter, but, begrudgingly, Keen responded by saying that all police ocers, both Black and White, were doing a ne job. Still, the country was not convinced that the fellow was such a ne policeman as claimed, and henceforth viewed him with suspicion.

other than a heart attack. But most in Nairobi, including the students at Starehe, believed foul play was at hand, that the man who lived by the sword had to have died by the sword. These rumours were only compounded when the students were prevented from viewing the body, a decision Griffin made to prevent the funeral proceedings from being sensationalised. Later, the Weekly Review, at its time the foremost political magazine in Kenya, carried a story on Shaw highlighting his prowess as a civil servant and crime ghter. Mystery always seemed to surround him and the police were probably content to leave matters so in order to enhance the aura of invincibility that surrounded him, the Weekly Review wrote. One photo of Shaw looking smug was included, with the caption reading simply: Shaw: awesome reputation .
During the 1982 coup attempt by ocers from Kenya Air Force, Shaw was in Europe fundraising for Starehe. On August 1, a Corporal from KAF named Ngatia was assigned to arrest president Moi. But before doing so he and his fellow rogue ocers decided to rst head to Starehe and take out Patrick Shaw. James Dianga, author of the book Kenya, 1982: The Attempted Coup, says Ngatias mission to kill Shaw was also fuelled by the fact that Shaw was investigating Ngatia for his role in a series of bank robberies. Cpl Ngatia was a supporter of Spt Hezekiah Ochuka, one of the senior coup plotters. Ochuka had helped to delay Shaws request that the KAF hands over Ngatia for interrogation. In exchange for his assistance, and knowing that Ngatia was in a tough position, Ochuka handed Ngatia the task of arresting president Moi. Upon hearing of the plot, Shaw immediately ew back to help sort out the mess, says his sister. He immediately started interrogating the key suspects, and is said to have been behind the torture of many who were arrested in connection with the failed coup.

Sheath your hypocrisy, dear religious leaders
SOMEONE TELL KENYA TO GO SLOW ON THE TWEEFS

That the Kenyan nation is a winner even in situations where we have lost is never in doubt, more so when it comes to hurling invectives and invariably displaying our ignorance. To this end, we have found a new tool called the new media social media is too mainstream for me, you know and we are out to prove that ours is the Silicon Savannah. By sitting behind computer monitors and letting our ngers do the talking, we can bully foreign aairs ministers of other countries into apologising and call foreign sports federations enough names to ll up Olympic-size swimming pools. Ironically, while we are aware of the power of the new media, we forget that we always tell others about our dark sides, considering that we are so good at trashing each other on the same new media. We are such small sh in even smaller ponds and we are yet to realise that we live in a borderless global village and most of our local television channels broadcast to other countries or stream their broadcasts online. Ease up, people. Its not a matter of lifeand-death. Seriously.

ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE: Now that we are no longer shy to talk about condoms, can someone explain to me what happened to Durex Performa, which have disappeared form the shelves?
ear sex gods who live in our minds, we humbly ask you to help our clergy see the light at the end of the long tunnel and follow it before it goes o and they are left in the dark. We know they will be with other Kenyans who have also turned their back to that light because it is hurting their extremely sensitive eyes. It would be wrong to condemn the clergy and call them names because they have refused to see the light or to get out of the tunnel. It would also be wrong to label only them pretenders since we all love to pretend we are comfortable even when we have such a big problem like a foreign condom in our midst. This latex sheath, which was reportedly made famous by the French company Durex, is currently our biggest problem. It is so big and growing so fast that if we do not bring it under control, it will come between us and our earthly pleasures and denitely smother us to death. If we are not careful, we will suocate under a surfeit of the condom, which might as well be a part of the larger sinister foreign hand. When did the condom start falling on us, when did it start coming between us and our morals, when did it start turning stable families in to dysfunctional ones? These are questions many of us cannot answer unless we scratch our heads, an action we might want to avoid because it would spoil our months-old weaves which exemplify not just our love for embracing change, but also our preference for dressing like sheep yet, deep inside, we are wolves. But that is not the point.
The main reason we may not answer it lies in our education system, buried in a subject called History. That we are an extremely moral society has never been in doubt, and the people who have safeguarded our morality are none other than the overly religious men and women in our midst fake or not aided and abetted by our extremely caring and self-righteous politicians who love us so much that they never want to hurt our feelings. Many years ago, our religious men and women gured that it was not prudent for school-going children to learn about their sexuality because it was going to corrupt their morals. It was a clear display of fake emotions over some half-hearted attempt to introduce Family Life Education into the (primary) school curriculum, and the overall feeling was that the young ones would know a lot about their bodies that, instead of working hard so that their parents can dance on national television while mumbling about God when results are released, they would be busy cavorting, canoodling and making babies. As a nation, we got so busy teaching morality and failed to prevent young
school-going children from getting children from supermarket shelves as had been the norm. We live in denial and do not even realise that those children have won international tenders from Postinor and are popping morning-after pills regularly. The cycle of denial has been our stock in trade, a handy weapon against change even when we are running out of burial space for victims of sexually-transmitted infections. Ours is a wonderful country where nothing but morality reigns; a nation of well-mannered couples who spend more time together when they are in trac than at home; a country of resourceful men and well-endowed women who gleefully share what they have with other couples or the unmarried compatriots and when they are reminded of their exploits, they throw tantrums. All is not lost though, for together with the clergy, we can bury our heads in the empty packs of morning-after pills and pray for the foreign rms that are corrupting childrens minds through advertisements that depict their mothers as sexually-starved, insatiable cheats who should sheathe their excess desires.
I TOLD YOU THE MEDIA HAS BECOME A TIMID BULLDOG

Never in the history of this country has the media been put on the defensive like now. Journalists are now answering more questions than they are asking. The other day, I attended an Open Forum on Post-election Analysis on the Role of the Media, organised by Article 19 (Eastern Africa), an international nonstate body whose mandate is to defend freedom of expression and information. Journalists spent the whole day doing nothing but defend themselves and, in the process, some government body, National Steering Committee on Media Monitoring, through its committee secretary Mary Ombara, went on record that mainstream media failed to report on events it noticed were amiss at dierent polling centres across the country because it wanted to propagate peace. Journalists appeared to have been scared, she said, and the media took the peace messages too far and moved from one extreme of being impartial observers and became players. That hurts.

UNTREATABLE TB ON THE RISE, WARN MEDICAL EXPERTS
Processed foods are quick, convenient and sinfully delicious, but they are packed with harmful ingredients that ultimately compromise your health
BY DR CORY COUILLARD
drcorycouillard@gmail.com
You are what you eat

O
ver the past twenty years, a lot has changed and the foods that we eat are creating a sicker generation of children. As a result, we now have epidemic increases in diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer. The commercialisation of nutrition has forced food companies to nd newer, cheaper mechanisms to increase the shelf life of food, improve colour, taste and perceived nutritional value. The result a dietary system heavily laced with preservatives, articial colourings and chemicals. Processed foods are one of the greatest dangers to ones overall health as they provide little actual nutritional value. These foods are commonly loaded with unhealthy sugars, salts and fats that create inammation, spike blood sugar and elevate blood pressure.
Instant noodles topped with MSG There are many brands of instant noodles but few will win any health food awards. The immediate danger is in the avour packet that comes with the noodles. This packet often contains monosodium glutamate or MSG and very high amounts of salt. One of the most common causes of high blood pressure and kidney disease is eating too much salt. One can incorporate instant noodles into a healthy diet by simply leaving out the avour packet. Sweet addictions The vast majority of sweets and candy are high in saturated fat and a large portion of the calories come from sugars. They are also a very poor source of vitamins and minerals. Not only is the sugar bad for ones teeth, its also a leading cause of inammation and weight gain. It is appalling to nd a small sweet packed with over 234 calories, 25g of sugar and 12g of fat. Sugar is addictive as it manipulates ones taste buds, metabolism and brain into seeking out more. Soda aecting heart beats People often drink soda in place of water. Soda has an alarming amount of sugar, calories and harmful additives that have absolutely no nutritional value. Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease. The caeine found in soda can cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps and possibly even some forms of cancer. Soda also contains phosphoric acid that can interfere with the bodys ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of the bones and teeth. Phosphoric acid also neutralises the acids in the stomach making it dicult to properly utilise nutrients. Crisps ousting healthier snacks An occasional handful of crisps may not cause irreparable damage to someone consuming an otherwise healthy diet but the real dangers arise when one consumes crisps on a regular or daily basis. Crisps are typically low in vitamins and minerals, and they tend to replace things in the diet that have better nutrient values. They are typically high in fat and energy, which can raise the risk of weight gain and obesity.
Disease experts called Sunday for decisive leadership and more research funding to fend o the very real risk of an untreatable strain of tuberculosis (TB) emerging as more and more people develop resistance to existing drugs. In a series of papers in the Lancet medical journal to mark World TB Day on Sunday, they warned that health systems risked being overwhelmed by increasing numbers of drug-resistant TB patients. Already, more than 30 per cent of newly-diagnosed patients in parts of eastern Europe and central Asia have multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB, a form of the disease which does not respond to the two most potent drugs isoniazid and rifampin. There were believed to be about 630,000 MDR cases out of some 12 million TB cases in 2011. Extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB, thus far reported in 84 countries, does not respond to an even wider range of drugs. The widespread emergence of XDR tuberculosis could lead to virtually untreatable tuberculosis, wrote the authors of one study, led by Alimuddin Zumla, director of the Centre for Infectious Diseases and International Health at University College London Medical School. With ease of international travel and increased rates of MDR tuberculosis... the threat and range of the spread of untreatable tuberculosis is very real, they said. TB was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO) 20 years ago, but remains a leading cause of death by an infectious disease. The study authors urged a radical change in political and scientic thinking. The global economic crisis and reduced investments in health services threaten national tuberculosis programmes and the gains made in global tuberculosis control, they wrote. The world needs to acknowledge the serious threat of drug-resistant tuberculosis before it overwhelms health systems. Most needed are new drugs and better, quicker diagnostic tools. FYI: In 2011, 8.7 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died, said the WHO. Over 95 per cent of TB deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and it is among the top three causes of death for women aged 15 to 44. In 2010, there were about 10 million orphans who had lost their parents to TB.
As an example, one ounce or 15 to 20 crisps of a popular brand contained 10g of fat and 154 calories. Sugary cereals no better than biscuits Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides the energy for the day, nutrients needed to repair bodily tissues and activate ones metabolism to maintain a healthy weight. Junk food, also known as sugary cereals in the morning can do more harm than good. According to a recent study, childrens breakfast cereals should be in the chocolate biscuit aisle of supermarkets. One cup of a popular brand of childrens cereal contained more sugar than three cookies.
energy, high-sugar, low-nutrient beverages. Consumers should be urged to check the food label before purchasing any of their favourite juices. Processed meats producing cancers Many processed meats are made with unhealthy nitrates, nitrites, trans fats, saturated fats and large amounts of sodium and sugar. A recent study showed a 67 per cent increase in pancreatic cancer for people consuming moderate amounts of processed meat. The high level transfat and saturated fat content can sabotage ones heart and waistline as well. Sodium nitrite can be found in nearly every packaged meat product imaginable. Its listed on the food label of products such as bacon, breakfast sausages, dried meats, pepperoni, sandwich meats, ham and even the meats found in canned soups. Sauces and articial colourings Processed and unhealthy, just the thought of the powdered imitation sauce alone should make one cringe. These products contain excessive amounts of salts and preservatives to ensure the shelf life of the product. Articial colourings, stabilisers and emulsiers are chemicals used to make the food more attractive and palatable. Imitation powdered sauces often contain chemicals like articial dye Yellow #5 and #6. Yellow #5 is a water-soluble articial dye that is also known as Tartrazine. Other foods that contain Tartrazine includes cake, pudding, biscuits, cookies, muns, breads, pie crusts, frostings, sand so on. The problems do not stop there. Packaged sauces also contain a fattening secret known as partially hydrogenated oils. The entire process of partially hydrogenating an oil will produce unhealthy trans fats. Trans fatty acids are toxic to our systems, produce inammation and allow diseases to develop. Partially hydrogenated oils also have a negative eect on cholesterol levels as they raise LDL (bad cholesterol) and lower HDL (good cholesterol). These oils have also been linked to the development of diabetes and a variety of cancers.
SCHWARZENEGGER S BODYBUILDING MENTOR JOE WEIDER DEAD AT 93

Arnold Schwarzenegger paid tribute to tness publisher Joe Weider after he died Saturday aged 93, calling him a father gure who helped Austrian-born Arnie achieve the American dream. Weider, who built a multimillion-dollar publishing empire that included Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Shape and Mens Fitness magazines, died of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported. Arnie called him the godfather of tness, saying: Today, I lost a dear friend and mentor, and the world lost one its strongest advocates of living a healthy lifestyle. Joe Weider was a titan in the tness industry and one of the kindest men I have ever met, Schwarzenegger added, in a statement posted on his Twitter feed. Weider was born in Montreal in 1920, and began bodybuilding as a young teenager to stand up to bullies in the gang-infested neighbourhood where his family lived. He created the Mr Olympia event in 1965, and discovered Schwarzenegger at a body-building contest in Europe two years later, the LA Times reported. Schwarzenegger recalled how he heard about Weider even before he arrived in the United States, where he became a champion bodybuilder, Hollywood superstar and governor of California from 2003-2011. I knew about Joe Weider long before I met him he was the godfather of tness who told all of us to Be Somebody with a Body. He taught us that through hard work and training, we could all be champions, Schwarzenegger said. As I read his articles in Austria, I felt that he was speaking directly to me and I committed to move to America to make my vision of becoming the best bodybuilder, to live the American dream, and to become an actor a reality. Joe didnt just inspire my earliest dreams; he made them come true the day he invited me to move to America to pursue my bodybuilding career. I will never forget his generosity, Schwarzenegger added.

When it comes to health, male peer pressure can play a positive or negative role as most mens lifestyle choices are inuenced by their nearest and dearest friends
have come to accept that my husband has many wives. There is the one whom he considers his best friend and asks for his counsel, the one who gives him the quickest remedies for a simple disease so that he does not need to go to hospital, the one he spends his Friday with till around 3am and the one he spends time with on Saturday afternoons as they enjoy their nyama choma (roasted meat) and plenty of drinks and no, not fruit juice. Not forgetting the one who makes fun of him when he is with his wife in the evenings. These were the words from Wangui, a frustrated wife, explaining her dilemma regarding her husband. From her story you have probably gured that the wives are not actually clandestine women but his male friends who contribute signicantly to his life. These dudes are the ones I have come to consider more important than me, the ones he considers to be the ultimate advisors, she added. Clearly, she was unhappy with the inuence her husbands boys were having on his life. So dude , how much pressure do get from your boys? Have you ever felt inclined to do or say something that you actually didnt quite believe in or wanted to do? Does this inuence aect your mental, social or physical health? Could this be the reason men die younger than women? MENS SHORTER LIFESPAN Longevity is denitely not an advantage for men. Men are taller, stronger and faster than women however they are more likely to be overweight. Between the ages of 15 years and 24 years, more men than women die mainly due to
motor vehicle accidents, homicide, gun violence, suicide, cancer and drowning. This increase in deaths in younger men has been shown to be related to the spiking of the sex hormone testosterone. Testosterone is what denes men: aggressiveness, high libido and competitiveness. Researchers ascribe the male mortality to what is known as testosterone toxicity . The genetic dierence in men and women also aects death rates. Men have XY chromosomes while women have XX .These carry genetic information that make your body function well. If there is a problem in the chromosomes diseases e.g. cancer can occur. When women have one X chromosome that is abnormal, the other can use the normal gene and avoid expression of disease, On the other hand, men cannot rely on an alternative chromosome and if a gene on one of the sex chromosomes is defective, there is normally no alternative. As men age, their lifestyles in their youth determine their illnesses in their older age. Lifestyles of alcohol use, smoking, lack of exercise and poor eating habits begin to show as illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and strokes which are leading causes of death in men as they turn 50. At this point, the long term eects of testosterone appear. According to research, testosterone increases levels of the bad cholesterol and reduces levels of good cholesterol in the blood. This puts the men at greater risk of developing heart disease and stroke. The information about mens shorter lifespans can be scary, however we need to look at social factors that greatly influence mens health habits. Unbeknown to many, society plays a big role in the development of the men. One of the biggest inuences is his male counterparts or the people Wangui referred to as the boys .

on other men. This co-dependence by men has them open to inuence. However this co-dependence is not always open as society tends to misinterpret when men show aection towards each other. Men influence each other in peer groups or in cliques. Pressure from peers (age mates) is a major contributor towards mens health and their behavior. Peer groups oer a sense of feeling valued and a sense of belonging, they give one somewhere to t in, there is increased self-condence, a sense of security by being understood due to acceptance in the group. The peer group also offers a safe place to test values and
increasingly gives one a chance to practice getting along with others. They help in developing friendships, one learns to practice give and take and also not forget the influence the peer groups have in making decisions about their life. These groups can either make men or break men. They can make men live healthy lifestyles, exercise, be spiritual, work harder, be better workmates as attested by Pastor Nicholas Katale of Hope United Church in Lavington who said Men can influence each other in their friendships in various ways. Men are known to be people who are not open. They like

later on, with encouragement, take it up and perform very well in it. However, we cannot entirely rule out the fact that at times due to societal pressure, girls tend to pursue careers or hobbies that have been dominated by the female gender. It could be due to fear of challenge or a fear of the unknown. This also applies to boys. They may not take up a career due to the societal pressure of being termed as gay for being in sectors dominated by women. At times they feel they need to take up courses like engineering which have been labeled, dicult so that they can prove their manhood. However, another study demonstrated that this sort of insecurity is all in our heads. In that study, girls math scores improved when they were told that the exam was gender-neutral, while white mens scores on the same test dropped when they were told the scores would be evaluated against Asian mens scores. This seems to suggest that we can easily overcome any biological dierences, or we can just as easily doom ourselves to fullling these prophecies. Research is still being conducted on the human brain using male species as it is believed that the female brain would show wildly inconsistent results during various phases of the menstrual cycle. Some brain disorders like depression and chronic anxiety are often diagnosed in women than in men. This may be due to either: The dierences in the chemical composition of the brain. Women produce only about half as much serotonin (a neurotransmitter linked to depression) as men and have fewer transporters to recycle it. How the various sides of the female brain respond to emotions and pain. Women are not the only victims in brain disorders. Men are more likely to be diagnosed with dyslexia and schizophrenia. In addition to this, disorders like schizophrenia and Alzheimers disease can show up dierently in men and women Based on the location of neurons, brain injuries may aect men and women dierently too. These dierences in the brain once mastered can change the way drugs and treatments are administered between male and females. Before then, I guess we may keep ghting for equality.

Theres always a big dierence in the way new born girls boys are treated even with the most equality-driven individual. Girls will be dressed in mostly pinks and boys in blues. The former will be given dolls as presents while the latter cars. These environmental dierences may play a big role in shaping the childs brain. If there are dierences in peoples brains, it might be due to how society has shaped a person, with neurons and synapses pruned away as the brain deemed them unnecessary. However, not every psychologist agrees that the environment has a major role to play in brain development. Some believe that our brains are structured at birth. When looking at Albert Einsteins brain, scientist found that it had a unique structure that was most probably already formed at birth. This theory may help to explain why we dont have many Einsteins in the world today. It is still usual to see more ladies as tailors than men and more men as mechanics than women. Theres also a stereotype of women being weak in Einsteins favourite subjects of physics and math and hence the brain structure theory can back that
up proving there may be slight dierences in the structure of the female and male brain. It may be that the rate of development between girls and boys is dierent; however, our educational system doesnt take that into account. We have seen that when a child takes up a hobby or a subject they are not yet ready to tackle, they may give up too quickly but

retreating in their caves . Whereas there is some truth in it, the relationships they have do inuence each other. I have an accountability partner who is a man. This is a relationship that has been there for over ten years now. One thing that has happened is that I have become more condent and passionate about what I do . On the ipside, men seem to unknowingly lead each other to early graves. Nowadays it is common to see men gathered together in the evenings and over the weekends drinking alcohol and eating unhealthy foods mostly fried food or nyama choma (roasted meat). A trend that is now common is that a large number of these men are overweight and their bellies are protruding. Little do they know that this increases their chances of getting, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, arthritis, obesity, diabetes and heart diseases signicantly. Moderate alcohol use is frowned upon by the boys and getting drunk on Fridays and Saturdays evenings is considered normal with Sunday being the designated recovery day with the family. Although this may seem harmless, the damage that long term use of excess alcohol has on the body and society is immense. Pancreatitis (inammation of the pancreas), Gastritis (inammation of the stomach wall), alcohol addiction, gout, obesity, low libido, liver cirrhosis(liver scarring), liver cancer, low blood sugar(hypoglycemia), road trac accidents, risky sexual behavior and domestic strife are but some of the eects of alcohol use. When a member of a peer group or clique decides to refrain or slow down, it is not uncommon to hear him being chided for not being a man. They pressurise him using threats, insults or guilt in order to inuence him to join him. This kind of pressure has led to many young men having their rst sexual encounters early in their teens because they are tired of being taunted about being virgins. The young men, ignoring the list of potential dangers, engage in sex and a majority of times it is unsafe. Could this be the reason we have a large number of young people living with HIV? sense of belonging. However if these men have unsure about themselves they may end up doing whatever the group tells them to do. They follow easily so as not to be left out of the group ultimately fearing rejection. If men are self-condent, assertive, and follow their instincts they will end up doing things they are comfortable with. Health wise that would mean moderating the amount of alcohol drank, limit food intake, improve choices of food and also manage time for the boys and the family. This may sound simple and logical but it is an enormous task that men have to grapple with every day. Pastor Katale concludes A man can be your best friend or worst enemy if they lose the big picture on friendship. The standard should be one that builds somebody and does not take away in every area of life social, economic, spiritual, nancial. Hebrews 10:24 talks of how we should spur one another towards love and good deeds. As Wangui grapples with her family predicament, we only hope her husband manages to realise the eects his time with the boys is having on his health and his body early enough. Just a note, though things may look grim for the male species, lving longer for women doesnt necessarily mean better health. Women may live long but they may also suer chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and auto immune disorders. By Dr Torooti Mwirigi. Send your health questions to nation@askadoc.co.ke

More men than women die in this age bracket due to motor vehicle accidents, homicide, gun violence, suicide, cancer and drowning.
Promiscuity and reckless sexual behavior involving multiple partners can also be caused by inuence from peers as men dare each other or brag of their conquests. It is usually seen as uncool not to have multiple sexual partners. Pastor Katale adds I have also seen that some of the other negative inuences (of friends) have been especially in areas of relationships, marriage, work and life status . So how do we manage this pressure from peers? It is dicult but not impossible. Men are in these groups so as to t and have a

When she woke up the next morning she found some strange white beads on her sleeping mat and all over the oor. She cried, Oh my God, what are these things? She picked them up. Each bead was the size and shape of a teardrop, but when she tried to crush them, they were too hard to break. She collected them into her palm and studied them carefully. She then took them outside in order to see them much better under the sunlight. Oh my God! she cried. These are my tears, they have turned into beads. What kind of magic is this?
