Gravity of crimes
The vulnerability of children means that they need to be aorded particular protection that does not apply to the general population, as recognised in various international treaties
Presiding judge Adrian Fulford
He said that the Chamber considered the gravity of the crimes with regard to the extent of the damage caused, and in particular the harm caused to the victims and their families. The Chamber also considered the nature of the unlawful behaviour and the means employed to execute the crime; the degree of participation of the convicted person; the degree of intent; the circumstances of manner, time and location; and the age, education, social and economic condition of the convicted person, Judge Fulford said. He ruled that the crimes for which Mr Lubanga has been convicted, comprising the crimes of conscripting and enlisting children under the age of 15, and using them to participate actively in hostilities, are very serious and aect the

international community as a whole. The vulnerability of children means that they need to be afforded particular protection that does not apply to the general population, as recognised in various international treaties, he said. Judge Fulford indicated that the Chamber has, however, reected certain other factors involving Lubanga like his notable cooperation with the Court and his respectful attitude throughout the proceedings. However, he said that Judge Benito had written a separate and dissenting opinion on the particular issue. She disagreed with the majoritys decision to the extent that, in her view, it disregards the damage caused to the victims and their families, particularly as a result of the harsh punishments and sexual violence suffered by the victims of these crimes.

arried women in Kenyas arid and semi-arid north are the most active in child bearing, beating all other regions, including some that are much better endowed with economic and natural resources. During their child bearing age of between 15 and 49 years, the women give birth to twice the number of children as their counterparts in Nairobi, according to current government statistics. On average, a North Eastern Province woman would have six children during her reproductive period, compared to three for the one who lives in Nairobi.

Children are a blessing, but we should have a number we can care for
Mr George Kichamu, deputy director in charge of Public Education at the National Council for Population and Development
According to statistics contained in a presentation by National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) ahead of the World Population Day today, women in Coast also have, on average, three children in their reproductive period while those of Eastern Province have four. Children are a blessing, but we should have a number we can care for, said Mr George Kichamu, deputy director in charge of Public Education at the council. There is no right or wrong number (of children), it depends on the choice of the woman or couple. Mr Kichamu said most pregnancies in Kenya were unwanted, with many women choosing to delay their next births, but lacking the necessary family planning method to help them. The best scenario is where our people would have capacity to prevent unwanted pregnancies, Mr Kichamu said. The areas where women, on average, give birth to many children in their lifetime contributes signicantly to Kenyas rapid population growth

rate, currently increasing by 2.9 per cent per year. This translates to an addition of one million people every year into the countrys population, which stood at 38.6 million people in 2009 when the last census was conducted. Nationally, women are preferring to have an average of 4.6 children in their reproductive period. The high fertility rates in northern Kenya appear to largely due to the fact that the regions women seldom use contraceptives including condoms, pills of injections. According to the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS), only four in every 100 women are using contraceptives in the region. It means a large number of women are engaging in sex without the means
of preventing pregnancy for those who do not wish to conceive. The low levels of contraceptive prevalence in the north is a stark contrast to that of Central Province, where the prevalence rate among married women is 67 per cent. This largely explains the low fertility rates in Central Province. However, there are other reasons that inuence fertility and contraceptive prevalence rates including region of residence, religion and education.

Contraceptive use increases dramatically with increasing level of education, says the KDHS report. Mr Kichamu said some regions with strong African cultural practices that stress large families or child preference are also likely to record higher fertility rates. Last November, Nithi constituency MP Kareke Mbiuki started a campaign to oer his female constituents incentive to get pregnant and give birth. He promised every woman who gives birth over the next one year Sh5,000. They would also receive a pack of diapers in a move aimed at boosting the population of the area. Mr Mbiuki said population in the area was dwindling, and urgent measures were necessary to encourage fertility.

MIGUNA BOOK | Former aide says PM had a relaxed stance to queries about nancial impropriety by his aides
Mr Miguna Miguna (in cap) with Prof Mutakha Kangu during a meeting hosted by the Committee of Experts on the Constitutional Review at Leisure Lodge hotel in Diani, South Coast in September 2009.
whats wrong if Caroli bought Heron Court, hmm? Whats wrong with that? Whats wrong with Luos? Why are they talking too much, hmm? Who told them not to make money? Raila dismissed me even before I could open my mouth. The deals Mr Miguna describes run the gamut from oil money to mineral concessions in southern Africa to others involving a subsidised maize scheme which was subsequently found to have been abused by ocials, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of shillings. Mr Miguna links Mr Odinga to controversial South African tycoon Antnio Texeira, the chairman of Petroplus Africa, who is associated with the Branch Energy and Executive Outcomes private security-cum-paramilitary rms that have been criticised for their work in war zones such as the diamond elds of Sierra Leone. Mr Texeira has interests in gold, oil and diamonds in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. He says Mr Texeira was introduced to Mr Odinga by his former PA, Herbert Ojwang. Those contacts, which Mr Odinga acquired while he was minister for Energy, subsequently helped Mr Texeira buy the controlling stake in one of the Odingas agship rms, Spectre International. Then of course, are Railas (and through him, Carolis) connections to Rupiah Banda, President of Zambia from 2008 to 2011. Caroli frequently boasted to me of their

DISPUTE | Group fears innocent Kenyans might be arrested
No lawyers
Ms Mary Njeri Wachira cuddles her eight-day-old daughter as she leaves the High Court in Nairobi yesterday, after the mention of a case in which she is charged alongside three others with murder.
Muslim rights lobby yesterday asked the government to give a clear definition of terrorism before a Bill on the crime, which is on the rise in the country, can be tabled in Parliament. The Muslims for Human Rights (Muhuri) led MPs and activists yesterday in criticising the Terrorism Bill 2012, arguing that it does not bring out the precise denition of terrorism and related acts. They expressed fears that if enacted in its current form, the Bill will lead to rampant arrests of innocent Kenyans on the pretext that they were involved in terrorism. Mr Mbugua Mureithi, a counter-terrorism and human rights lawyer, said
the Bill should be scrapped for failing to isolate terror acts from other crimes. Terrorism is relative. There is no universal denition of terrorism. The Bill should be susceptible to expansion since currently it lacks a clear denition, Mr Mureithi said. He spoke during a forum organised by Muhuri, dubbed Prevention of Terrorism Bill CRITICISM
2012 held at the Hilton Hotel , yesterday. Participants discussed various provisions of the Bill, which they thought would undermine the war against terror in the country. Citing Section 2 of Part One that denes terror acts, Mr Mureithi said it was not clear in its wording and falls short on ways of preventing the crime. It defines terror acts as those that end up in death or bodily harm, and involve use of arms or explosives and releasing of radioactive substances that are harmful to human beings. Citing Section 21 of the Bill, Mr Mureithi argued that it amounted to an infringement on the freedom of expression, punishing Kenyans for exercising their rights to information. It proposes conviction and imprisonment of individuals who publish, distribute or otherwise make information which can lead to acts of terrorism. This, he said, was in breach of the new Constitution article 33.

They were charged in Makadara last week with abducting and secretly conning a student at the Usiu, Ms Mellisa Omondi Ouko, on May 10. In the case, they also face a capital charge of robbing Ms Mellisa Omondi of a mobile phone and cash, all valued at Sh36,000. The prosecution at Makadara had asked the court to have the suspects detained for a week so they could help police trace Ms Omondi, who had reportedly been missing for two months since her abduction.

CRIME | Investigation report by CID in Nairobi
28
Age in years of British aristocrat Alexender Monson, below, who died in police custody two months ago
was beaten to death while in police custody, allegations denied by ocers at Diani Police Station where he was held. Inspector Ronald Kimanzi made the inquiry against his juniors and the ndings are not revealed in the report signed by head of the Investigations Bureau at CID headquarters, Mr Mohamed Amin. Curiously the report adds: On June 7, ocers from CID while conducting investigations into the death arrested Saidi Ali Shepeu and recovered
the same mobile phone. He was later arraigned in a Mombasa court for the oence of stealing and handling stolen goods. Later another suspect, Justin Hassan, was also arrested and will be arraigned in court on June 12. The report does not explain how the two got the phones from the station after the owner died. Immediately after Mr Monsons death, police investigations showed he may have died of complications due to drug use. But a new investigation, which based its conclusions on a pathologists, concurs with the family assertions that he died of an injury to the head, inicted with an object. Our investigations could not specifically establish how and where the injury was sustained, reads part of the report. In total, police said they interviewed 26 witnesses, including one of his friends, Enrico Mandella Kiko, who police say visited him at the station around 3.30am, before he died.

ome of our readers have expressed disquiet at our decision to serialise Peeling Back The Mask: A Quest for Justice in Kenya by Prime Minister Raila Odingas former advisor for coalition aairs, Mr Miguna Miguna. Admittedly, Mr Migunas style and some of the revelations in his book will make some Kenyans uncomfortable. But Mr Miguna was gladiator in the conicts of the coalition government. He was a member of the ruling class, an observer and participant in the exercise of power behind the scenes. It is the cardinal duty of journalism to provide the people with information which enables them to understand their leaders and how they exercise the power they are entrusted with when the curtains are drawn. Typically, the Daily Nation has exercised careful editorial judgement in selecting and editing excerpts from Mr Migunas book. Our task is to inform Kenyans, not to target individuals. If Mr Migunas book results in a healthy and honest debate on leadership in our country and how we can move forward as a healed and cohesive society, it will have achieved an important end. Democracy is not a game of averting our gaze from opinions that we do not like, or condemning them unexpressed. The publication of Mr Migunas memoirs should be viewed in this positive spirit.

anks in this country are very greedy. How else do you explain the fact that they are unwilling to bring interests rates down even after the Central Bank of Kenya recently brought down the Central Bank Rate by a signicant margin? I am not in the habit of cramming this column with statistics and gures. Statistics will make you sound clever and learned. But when your aim is to provoke informed debate and inuence public policy, cramming too many numbers in a column like this can be counterproductive. You end up crowding out the less numericallyinclined segments of society from participating in the conversation. I want to introduce just a few important pieces of statistics to substantiate my assertion that commercial banks in this country are greedy. The rst piece of statistic I wish to rely on is the Treasury Bill rate. Why is the movement of this rate important in this debate? Because this is the benchmark that all commercial banks use to price loans. Allow me to explain. Literally, every week,
Unless commercial banks curb their greed, Kenyas economy will choke B
the government is in the market borrowing money by issuing Treasury Bills. And, the biggest buyers of Treasury Bills are commercial banks. Put another way, commercial banks collect money from the public and then lend some of it to them at some prot margin. Because lending to the government is riskfree, banks price the loans which they lend to businesses and members of the public o the Treasury Bill Rate. Going by this logic, lending rates should always come down in tandem with the Treasury Bill Rate. And, how has this bill behaved? The rate has fallen from a peak of 21 per cent in January 2012 to below 11 per cent in June this year. When the Treasury Bill Rate began the downward trend around March, commercial banks said they would not reduce lending rates because the ination rate was still too high. High lending rates were a reection of inationary expectations, they ponticated. Which brings me to the second piece of statistics I wish to rely on to maintain the argument that commercial banks in this country are greedy the ination rate. How has ination behaved? It has fallen from a peak of 19.7 per cent in November 2011 to 10.5 in June this year. When the ination rate started falling several months ago, commercial banks argued that they would not reduce lending rates because the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Kenya had not reduced the Central Bank Rate, also known as the signalling rate. Just the other day, the Monetary Policy Committee lowered the Central Bank Rate from 18 per cent to 16.5 per cent, signalling to commercial banks to ease lending rates. The response from the banks has been mute, to say the least. Granted, some of the banks have responded by cutting base rates.
Lending rates should always come down in tandem with the Treasury Bill Rate, but it has not happened
You still dont see strong commitment to bringing lending rates down. I know of several businessmen who have frozen new projects because of high lending rates. Our people are paying too much for loans. High lending rates are literally choking growth as evidenced by recent statistics, which show that the gross domestic product fell to 3.5 per cent in the rst quarter of 2012 compared to 4.9 per cent in the same period last year. Commercial banks will keep giving excuses and shifting positions. They argue that they took too many expensive deposits, which they have to clear from their books rst. Yet we all know that a substantial proportion of the deposit base of commercial banks in this country is composed of current accounts on which they do not pay interest. The truth of the matter is that the average cost of funds is much lower than they tell us. We were told that the introduction of credit reference bureaus would make things better. It has not happened.

are not afraid of taking calculated risks. Risk-taking is crucial because it yields the innovation that gives you the vital competitive edge. Moreover, through entrepreneurship, Africa will achieve the wealth creation and employment needed to climb the ladder to prosperity. To instil a culture of entrepreneurship, two important actions are required. First, create smaller Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises entities that can then be nurtured to grow. Second, encourage mentorship and nancial support to local entrepreneurs. Financial literacy for women and youth is a key plank in Equity Banks push to alleviate rural poverty through the provision of aordable micro-nance. The literacy
their nancial literacy and management training, does have a positive impact on SME development. Because of their small size, SMEs usually lack management capacity and cannot aord costly support services such as training. For a long time, mentoring has been largely in the context of the large corporations, and within the framework of career development, training, and performance. Mentorship oers local rms the opportunities to overcome challenges that come with generation transition. Mentors typically support entrepreneurs as they start and grow their businesses by giving expert help and assistance in problem solving, inuencing behavioural and attitudinal change. Running a business is not possible without adequate funding and understanding of basic nancial management. In conclusion, we are living in an age of networks and not hierarchies where knowledge and wisdom must be distributed, rather than contained among a select few business pioneers. Dr Mwangi is CEO, Equity Group, and chairman, Vision 2030. He recently received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of the Year award, becoming the rst business leader from Africa to achieve the feat.
Healthy children
Most importantly, developing countries are oering up ambitious new national plans that will anchor a global eort. In recent years, Kenya has made signicant progress in increasing access to family planning programmes and services. In 2010, it enacted a new Constitution that declares reproductive healthcare the right of all citizens. Kenyas Department of Reproductive Health is now working with partners to integrate family planning services into other healthcare services, like vaccine delivery for infants and children. Family planning is not new, but having
African countries driving it is new and it will change the lives of women and girls and the trajectory of development in countries throughout the continent. Women want the power to determine their future. They want to maintain their own health and bear healthy children, which means spacing their births a safe distance apart. And they want to give their children the best chance to full their potential, which means having the resources to invest in their upbringing. The amazing thing about family planning programmes is that, by giving women the power to determine their future, they also lead to economic and social development at the national level. When parents can plan for their children, keep them healthy, and send them to school, their children are more likely to contribute to a prosperous economy and a thriving society. When you multiply this eect times millions of families, you have sweeping trends that can help change the prospects for an entire country, or an entire continent. In the past, some well-intentioned people in donor countries tried to impose family planning programmes, but they didnt always put the power in the hands of women and girls.

Investigative journalist in a class of his own
The expose done by NTV journalist John-Allan Namu on the whereabouts of Felicien Kabuga shows he is in a class of his own. The investigative story shows the extent to which impunity in Kenya has become a culture. No one is accountable for anything and those who ask questions disappear. Clearly, something in our government is not working, and however much we may try to initiate police reforms, all now sounds like a hoax. I thought it was weird when I saw Omar Al Bashir walk in broad daylight in Kenya. Clearly, our government doesnt mind harbouring fugitives wanted by the ICC. KENNEDY ARUAH, Nairobi

TALKING POINT
Writers appeal for all to shun hate speech and segregation was spot-on
have read Rasna Warahs article (Nation, July 9) and must thank her for the appeal to all to shun tribalism, discrimination and segregation. It is true that ones circumcision status has been used to frustrate people who may have genuine ambitions of community or national leadership. She gave examples of leaders around the world who are not circumcised, but who lead more powerful nations than Kenya. I do agree that issues such as these are completely irrelevant and retrogressive in a modern and evolving society. Suce it to say that I am not a victim of that type of discrimination but I still nd it deplorable. Secondly, she touched on a radio station that advertises jobs in Gujarati, which is not understood by most Kenyans. Those who use these vernacular languages should bear in mind that they bear the responsibility should things go wrong as they sometimes do. They should remember that they live in Kenya and be inclusive in everything they do and say. ELIJAH O. OMBONGI, Hull, U.K.
SHORT TAKES
PHONE USE: Cellphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. Its hard to imagine how we used to live without them. However, the way some of us use these phones leaves a lot to be desired. Some people shout in PSVs, hospitals, libraries and even places of worship. Others disrupt presentations, conversations, meetings and eulogies. Still, others air their dirty linen in public. Besides, some circumstances demand we put our phones on silent or vibration. Good phone etiquette takes just a little eort. KIARIE PETER, Laikipia West TRIVIAL ARREST: Of late, police have been dwelling on trivial matters like arresting matatu drivers whose vehicles bear grati, claiming that grati causes accidents. Well thats not true because accidents are still rife, while grati has always been a Kenyan culture. Police should arrest drivers who are not disciplined on our roads as they are more likely to cause accidents. Heavy nes should be imposed and their driving licences revoked as a lesson to others. Those who decorate the matatus, earn a living out of it. JOHN KAMUNYA, Nairobi SUGAR WARS: Wrangles erupting between sugar companies over cane poaching is going overboard. The recent attacks of three Butali Sugar workers by their Mumias Sugar counterparts is an embarrassment. Sometime last year, a similar incident happened between two sugar companies in Nyanza in which the Provincial Administration and politicians were drawn, and were allegedly accused of being used by one company to derail another. The Kenya Sugar Board should move in and help solve the issue. KEVINE OMOLLO, Kisumu SHORT SKIRTS: The Rwathia Girls High School students who went on strike on Monday demanding shorter and more appealing uniforms, among other reasons, are not fully to blame (Nation, July 10). I think the schools guidance and counselling department is asleep or doesnt exist altogether. Secondary schools lacking this crucial department are prone to rampant and uncouth behaviour from the students. Teenagers are not easy to maintain, given the peer pressure and other teenage crisis, so I believe the problem of short and appealing skirts could have been solved. SHEM MUTULU, Nairobi

ers during campaigns. Her column was spot-on because it is only recently that the NCIC implicated three musicians in composing songs that negatively portray PM Raila Odinga. The Rwandan genocide was also linked to use of these stations to spread hate propaganda against the minority Tutsis.

ECONOMY | Treasury and MPs told to reject Vat Bill 2012
armers have rejected a government proposal to impose tax on agricultural inputs and food items. They said the move will discourage farmers and lead to an increase in food prices, derailing eorts at food security. The farmers and agricultural producers, through the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (Kepsa), urged the Finance Minister to amend the proposed Vat Bill 2012 that seeks to levy tax on fertiliser, maize, wheat, milk and cotton, among others. They also urged MPs to reject the Bill. Kenya cannot be a food secure and a prosperous nation if the proposed amendments are passed. We want the government to amend the Bill and

production, had resulted in food insecurity, poverty and lack of employment. He said that the proposed law will cripple the agricultural sector. Other items whose prices are expected to shoot up include livestock feeds, locally assembled water pumps, insecticides, rodenticides and disinfectants. This will not only lead to increase in price of agricultural inputs, but also translate into increased cost of production beyond the means of largely poor, rural-based, subsistence, smallholder farmers thereby further deepening the poverty levels, Mr Kariuki warned. According to the union, farmers have for a long time been calling for subsidies. We are worried that there might be food riots if the Bill is passed as it is, Cereal Growers Association CEO David Nyameino said. We are giving a notice to the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture because we are tired of the vicious cycle the farmers have been going through, said Kenya Livestock Producers Association CEO Patrick Kimani.

Percentage of GDP of African economies eaten up by graft, according to Lumumba
Yesterday, Prof Lumumba said nothing would stop him from publishing the book, titled The Lonely Warrior, but did not explain at what stage it was or when it was likely to come out. At a forum organised by faithbased organisations to discuss the eectiveness of aid in Africa, at the All Africa Conference of Churches hall in Nairobi, the former antigraft boss said corruption was the Number One challenge for the continent. Corruption eats up between 25 and 35 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of African economies, he said.

a warning. Additionally, there are reports that the group is conscating peoples identity cards to prevent them from voting. Mungiki could be going for political power as well, and this could lead to violence and clashes with security agencies and civilians in areas it was once active. In other counties like Bungoma, the Sabaot Land Defence Force ghost is never far away. And then there is the research by Kepsa Youth Alliance recently, which revealed that thousands of youth groups were organising ahead of the elections. The study reveals a lot of positive contribution by young people in politics including running websites for parties, but there are also warning signs there are those ready to serve as guns for hire to the highest bidder to intimidate their opponents. Political analyst Kipchumba Murkomen said groups like MRC could be a recipe for violence, adding that its leaders should be told devolution will address their grievances. Then there is the threat of Al-Shabaab, the Somali militant group. It is almost certain that by the time elections come, the African Union Mission in Somalia, which includes Kenyan troops, would have driven the militants out of all territory they control in Somalia. But as they have demonstrated since October last year, the militants cells in Kenya have the ability to strike almost at will.

People who said they were internally displaced persons from Langata Constituency in Nairobi County walk past Baruku Area in Nakuru two weeks ago on their way to Uganda on foot. The 83 families said they decided to trek to Uganda because they have no hope they will be resettled in Kenya after being displaced during the 2007/08 post-election violence. Fear persists as the country gears itself for another General Election.
of impunity in Kenya. Many of the foot soldiers who executed the 2008 violence still walk free. This is one of the biggest potential threats to the election. Even though the suspected big boys are facing trial at The Hague, the fact that nearly 5,000 cases of murder, arson, rape and theft reported from the post-election violence are yet to be determined represents a big danger. A committee set up by the Director of Public Prosecutions says it has reviewed some 3,500 cases, but there is no hope that the foot soldiers who wielded the pangas and struck the matches will be brought to justice before March 4, 2013. If they can get away with the crimes they committed in 2007, what will prevent them from doing the same in 2013? Fourth, The Hague process is a double-edged sword. It can act as a deterrent, but it can also increase tension and lead to violence. As it has been demonstrated elsewhere, some people lash out when their leaders are indicted. In Uganda, Joseph Kony was talking peace until he was indicted and bolted back to the bush to continue with his crimes. In DRC, Bosco Ntaganda had integrated his rebels into the national army but when he was indicted, he quit and resumed ghting. In the end, of course, there will be nowhere to run for these two, but in the interim, their crimes may intensify. In Kenya, the ICC accuseds supporters were behaving in a similar manner with the so-called prayer rallies. Kitale Anglican Church of Kenya bishop Stephen Kewasis says many have bought the narrative that the ICC is biased and is intervening in local politics for the benet of certain candidates. People are having a feeling for their people (those charged) who they think have been victimised... this could trigger violence, he says. Finally, is the question of police. In the 2007 chaos, the police force was caught totally o guard. It was obvious that the force was overwhelmed by the scale of the violence. But this was not even the biggest problem. The reality that the police were

In the run up to the elections, there were very credible rumours that some security agents, especially among the Administration Police, had been hired as agents for a political party. It is these shortcomings that informed the proposal for radical changes in the structure and command of the police force, including merging the APs within the regular police. That the proposed reforms appear to have stalled after the formation of the National Police Service Commission hit a stalemate is cause for worry. Many Kenyans are putting a lot of faith in the IEBC to deliver a free and fair election, but it cannot do this alone, warns Ms Jaoko. Other institutions like the police should be reformed so they act independently to end the impunity on electoral oences, she says. Additional reporting by Lucas Barasa

Move highlights power struggle between the President and army chiefs
CAIRO, Tuesday
gypts dissolved parliament convened yesterday in deance of the powerful military and the judiciary, amid a legal crisis triggered by a presidential decree to reinstate the Islamist-led assembly. We are gathered today to review the court rulings, the ruling of the Supreme Constitutional Court, which ordered the house invalid, speaker Saad al-Katatni said. I want to stress, we are not contradicting the ruling, but looking at a mechanism for the implementation of the ruling of the respected court. There is no other agenda today, he added. Last month, the Supreme Constitutional Court said certain articles in the law governing the parliamentary elections were invalid, annulling the house. The military, which ruled Egypt after Hosni Mubarak was ousted in last years popular uprising, then dissolved the house and took legislative control using a document granting the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) sweeping
powers. But on Sunday, President Mohamed Morsy, a former member of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, ordered the lower house to reconvene just a week after taking the oath as head of state. His move highlighted the power struggle between the president and the SCAF, after the constitutional declaration issued by the military basically defanged the post of president. Morsys decree was hailed by those who want to see the army return to barracks, but it was criticised by those who SITUATION
fear an Islamist monopolisation of power as a constitutional coup. Katatni said that parliament had referred the case invalidating the house to the Court of Cassation while the Supreme Constitutional Court was looking into cases put forward to annul Morsys decree. The tension prompted US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to call for negotiations. We urge that there be intensive dialogue among all of the stakeholders in order to ensure

We expect that Mr Annan will continue his eorts to bring about stability and peace in Syria and the region, Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said at a joint news conference with the UN and Arab League envoy. Annan arrived in Iran after talks with embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday and following an international meeting in Geneva last month to which Iran, Damascuss staunchest regional ally, was not invited. Tehran was excluded from the Geneva talks which the Islamic republic dubbed unsuccessful following US and EU objections.

There is a risk that the situation in Syria gets out of hand and spreads to the region, Annan told reporters. Iran can play a positive role, he said, adding he would continue to work with the Iranian leadership to resolve the crisis which monitors say has cost more than 17,000 lives. Salehi reiterated that Iran is part of the solution in Syria, and criticised Arab and Western countries, without naming names, for excluding it. But he also hailed Annans neutrality on the issue. Annan said he agreed with Assad on Monday on a new political approach to end the nearly 16-month conict that he would put to the rebels. He would not elaborate, saying he must rst talk to the Syrian opposition. Before leaving Tehran, Annan met Saeed Jalili, the secretary of Irans supreme national security council, who told him the United States was part of the problem. Because of the background of some countries like the US which have backed dictators and displayed undemocratic behaviour, they cannot be part of the solution for Syria, Jalili said. (AFP)

Overcome disease
A little more than a year after revealing his cancer diagnosis, Chavez said he had worked with a lot of discipline in order to overcome the disease, adding that his last radiation treatment was two
months ago. Chavez has undergone surgery twice since June 2011 to remove cancerous tumors from his pelvis. The exact location and nature of the cancer has never been revealed. The 57-year-old Venezuelan leader boasted that he had fully recovered once before, only to have to admit later that he had suered a recurrence of the disease and would again seek treatment in Cuba. (AFP)
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert leaves the Jerusalem district court following his arraignment yesterday. An Israeli court acquitted Olmert on two key corruption charges and found him guilty on a lesser charge, media reported.
this trial, including the allegations that forced him to resign from his post as prime minister in 2008, was described as a win for him by political observers. Olmert faced three primary allegations in the first trial against him. The rst charge, on which he was convicted, related to favours he granted a former colleague, Uri Messer, during his time as trade and industry minister. Olmert was also accused of receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from Jewish-American businessman Morris Talanski, in return for promoting his companies in Israel. And he was alleged to have engaged in multiple-billing of trips overseas, on occasions charging as many as four different institutions for the same trip, in what was dubbed the ALLEGATIONS

New revelations
Local banks not ready to oer cheaper loans after CBK rate cut
Consumers will have to wait until next month when institutions are due to make their terms known
BY PAUL WAFULA
pwafula@ke.nationmedia.com hose seeking to borrow will have to wait until next month to start enjoying cheaper credit. Last week, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) moved to avert an economic meltdown after it cut its indicative lending rate to 16.5 per cent, the rst in seven months from a high of 18 per cent. The decision is expected to give commercial banks the headroom to start lowering lending rates and has raised the hopes of a reduction in the monthly instalments, and making available cheaper credit to those in need of funding. Barclays Bank and Bank of Baroda are the only commercial institutions that have so far indicated the margins they plan to reduce their lending rates by
come August 1 after cutting their base lending rates to 21 per cent. Most other commercial banks that the Daily Nation spoke to yesterday are still guarded on when, if at all, they will review their rates downwards. Barclays Bank and Bank of IN FIGURES
Baroda are the only banks that have so far indicated the margins they plan to reduce their lending rates come August 1 after lowering their base lending rates to 21 per cent. Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) said it was not ready to comment on the base lending rates while StanChart base lending rate remains at 23 per cent. However it said it uses a dierent benchmark for loans pricing called Retail Reference Rate, which is at 22.50 per cent. Equity Bank, whose maximum applicable rate stands at 25 per cent, said it doesnt have any plans to review the rates, yet. State-owned Consolidated Bank said it will review its lending rates downwards next month, but could not give any specics. Our current base rate is 24 per cent, but we plan to review it
downwards before the end of the month. I cannot say up to what level since we are yet to meet, but what I am sure is that it will be reduced, the banks managing director, Ndegwa Wachira. The high cost of credit is threatening to choke the economy with the first quarter statistics showing that the Kenyan economy expanded by only 3.5 per cent, the slowest in four years, compared with 5.1 per cent recorded in the same period last year. This was after the Central Bank decided to tighten the monetary policy, which has eased ination from 19.72 per cent in November last year to 10.05 per cent in June while the shilling has stabilised at levels of Sh84 to the dollar. This comes at a time when the government has decried the high spread between lending and deposit rates.
Most of the government loans are not based on the Libor benchmark rate

daffaires at South Sudans embassy in Washington, pointed to his governments agreement to build a pipeline to Djibouti and estimated it would be completed in 30 months. But Lyman, speaking next to Obongo at the US Institute of Peace, said the assessment was overly optimistic and that the pipeline to Djibouti could take four-to-six years to complete. There has to be an agreement with Sudan in the interim that would allow the government to have a basic income that would enable it to function, Mr Lyman said. The long term may indeed suggest alternative export facilities, but the new nation cannot aord to lose years of income when the development basis of the country is so low, he said.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Further to a public notice issued in the Daily Nation on 18th May 2012, page 30, this is an update on the City Council of Nairobi (CCN) ISO 9001:2008 Certification. Findings: 1. According to our investigations, DQS-Kenya is not accredited by any accreditation body in the world. 2. The ISO Certificate purportedly issued by DQS-Kenya to City Council of Nairobi was that of DQS GmbH (Germany office) and not the DQS Kenya office. 3. This ISO Certificate is not in the central registry of DQS UL ( DQS Head Office). 4. DQS UL has asked City Council of Nairobi to withdraw the ISO Certificate as per official communication from DQS-UL to KENAS dated 18th June 2012. Conclusion: 1. DQS Kenya is not an authorised office under DQS-UL to issue any Certification. 2. The purported ISO certification issued to City Council of Nairobi is not valid and therefore, is null and void. 3. The City Council of Nairobi should henceforth not claim this ISO Certification. We wish to encourage organisations to seek ISO Certification from accredited organisations.

The ght against drug abuse and joblessness among local youth were identied as other factors contributing to insecurity in the region.

We shall also resolve any issue of disagreement among us and would not allow anybody to create disharmony amongst our followers, he stated. The meeting came in the wake of twin attacks that targeted two churches in Garissa 10 days ago. Fifteen worshippers and two police ocers were killed, while 60 other people were injured in the attack that led to a reshue of provincial administrators and security chiefs countrywide. Mr Munyi, who heads to the region as the new PC, will be replaced by former Western PC Samuel Kilele. Mr James ole Serian, the former North Eastern PC, will replace Mr Kilele.

esidents of Igembe were excited following the success of their petition to be included in Igembe Central constituency. The people from Amako and Antubetwe Njoune sub-locations said they were historically in Igembe East ward in Igembe Central constituency and were at no time in Igembe South constituency. A resident in the area, Dr James Mithika said the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had erroneously taken the two sub locations to Igembe South constituency. The petition was filed by former Igembe south MP, Raphael Muriungi. An elated Mr Muriungi asked the electorate to register as
recognise geographical features that would have led to easier division of constituencies in Kili County without creating communication barriers. He noted that the Monday ruling was rushed because of deadlines the IEBC had set for the registration of voters in August. If they were to make a farreaching decision, it would have opened up the matter for further discussion and even pushed the date of elections beyond the set March 4, 2013, he said. Bishop Thomas Kakala of the Association of Pastors in Malindi and Magarini claimed there were sinister political motives behind the division of Malindi. Malindi Chamber of Commerce chairman Andrew Mataza lamented that the division of Malindi was daylight robbery of the resources that the local business community had worked hard to build over the years. But Mr Georey Katsoleh, a lawyer, agreed with the ruling, saying the courts and the IEBC considered parameters set by the Constitution.

Adongo arrived from the Sharks and scored three tries in his rst game for the Bulls, only to be ignored by the Bulls coaching sta until he was snapped up by former All Black Tana Umaga, the Counties Manakau coach, and oered a contract.

There are two dierent and sensitive things going on at the moment and I wouldnt like to talk about that at the moment since I could be breaking some communication and trust, said Adongo, who didnt downplay the possibility of playing in South Africa again. This is professional rugby hence I will let my heart follow my dream. Nothing is impossible in the world of sport.

no redo, its all a part of what makes the Olympic Trials the special event it is. I raced just once in the month in the lead up to the Trials, competing on my training track in Clermont, Florida at 100m. I spent the rest of my time primarily doing last minute ne-tuning for both of my events. I arrived in Kingston a few days before the National Trials started, visited with my family and enjoy some Jamaican cuisine Lol. I also took time out to meet with the Board of my Foundation to strategise the way forward in our quest to enhance the lives of young girls in Jamaica. I will
have more to say on the Foundation very soon. As for the competition, I accomplished my goal which was to make the team in both events nishing second in the 100m and third in the 200m. Qualifying standards Speaking of the Olympic Games, I must say, as a Unesco Champion for Sports Ambassador, I was excited to read that Saudi Arabia and Brunei has followed the lead of Qatar in sending, for the rst time, women to the Olympic Games. I am also thankful that the IOC is considering granting them entry, despite not meet-
ing the international qualifying standards. I hope athletics will be one of the sports that is featured when these countries arrive in London. Despite my focus on the Trials, I took time out to watch some of the NBA Finals. I thought it was an excellent series and was happy the title came to the state of Florida. Now I turn my focus to nal preparations for London. I pray for good health and if that is granted, all will be well for me. Thanks for reading.

ancer diagnosis and treatment will be spread to all the 47 counties in order to ght the killer disease in the country. President Kibaki said the government intends to introduce the human papillomavirus vaccine to address the high incidence of cervical cancer in the country alongside public education on lifestyle changes. It is my hope that these eorts will strengthen our health systems and institute eective control measures, as well as improve access to essential medicines, screening services and rehabilitation to provide long-term medical care to Kenyans, President Kibaki said yesterday when he opened the oncology and cancer treatment centre at the Nairobi Hospital. He called for intense public educational programmes that teach Kenyans the importance of diet in health management,
Bill that was awaiting presidential assent would provide a legal basis to eradicate conditions that cause cancer as well as lay guidelines for cancer screening countrywide. The Sh1 billion centre with a bed capacity of 58, seeks to ll the gap in cancer treatment in the country. Only two other public health facilities oer holistic cancer treatment the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret and the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi. Nairobi Hospital chief executive Cleopa Mailu said the hospital planned to expand to Nanyuki, Mombasa, Kisumu and Lamu. Dr Mailu noted that cancer is the cause of at least 13 per cent of deaths worldwide. The largest hurdle in Kenya is late diagnosis of the disease especially in stages three and four, leaving patients and family to seek palliative services. Research should be done locally to establish the epidemiology and the causative factors thus promote early diagnosis and treatment, Dr Mailu said.

heard them again, clawing at each other and screaming the neighbourhood down. My daughter, as usual, jumped to the window with an amused expression on her face. The abuses were not lost on my son, who giggled away as the new neighbours hurled unprintable words at each other to the chagrin of the other neighbours whose only evidence of their presence were the silhouettes behind the living room curtains. Of course, the last thing I wanted was to be caught peeping by the enraged duo, who might have thrown a shoe my way, and so unlike my daughter, I did it cautiously. Nairobi being Nairobi, no one wanted to intrude. We had enough on our own plates. What, with the skyrocketing cost of living? Shock! Shock! I saw them again in the morning looking lovey-dovey like a couple headed for honeymoon. A stranger wouldnt have believed they were the same couple that had been mauling each other in the night. Their two boys got out of the house, and their mother lovingly gave them each a peck on the cheek, hugged their father and waved them o. The engine
revved to life and the car sped o, carrying its occupants to another long day. Turning around, the woman caught me staring and I gingerly lifted my hand in greeting. She waved back and dashed into the house, keen to avoid any form of communication with nosey neighbors. The rumor mills whisper that they are an educated couple. O course, they look very polished and the man looks debonair and is very friendly. The lady is a bit timid, but her clothes ooze taste. A perfect duo. It is obvious that unlike many in the neighborhood, money is not a problem to them. Ours was a quiet neighbourhood until the Mangumis (their nickname) decided to unleash their reprehensible drama for the entire neighborhood to behold. They moved in two months ago, ending years of peace in the estate. Their squabbles respect no person or time. Its like a spark goes o and bang! They are at it. Two weeks ago, the lady chased the husband with a cooking stick down the garage. Woe unto you if you are entertaining guests and the Mangumis start. As a mother, I wonder where their boys are, all the time they are ghting. How do these children deal with the shame and scorn from their age mates, because, lets face it, children are cruel at times and in their innocence, they hurt each other. Each time they start, I clamp my

sons ears with my hands, hoping to keep the rot from registering. The other day while walking down the estate, I came across a bunch of pre-school children playing kalongo, when the couple suddenly burst out of their gate, the man of the house chasing the wife, a murderous look in his eyes. My heart ached and I hoped that the parents of
the playing children were wise enough to keep their dierences between them. Three weeks ago, they had a very nasty episode with the man pounding a door and swearing to kill the woman. That day, my blood froze and I hoped someone would call the cops. Luckily, it didnt last long. The woman hanging clothes the following morning was evidence that the man had not carried out his
threat. The Maingis - they had lived in the neighborhood for six years, actually moved out because of all the drama. Mrs Maingi, who was very pious, told me she wanted to raise her children in a quiet place. I nodded my head in agreement, hoping that the Mangumis would pack and move away. It is a genuine cry in the neighborhood. We all wish they could stop the drama or move away, but who will tell them; who will bell the cat?

though it is much cheaper and less stressful than our elaborate funerals. Before we come round to the idea of donating our organs after death, we will need to get past our superstitions and fear of death. Flavia.baby Thanks for highlighting my brothers story. It was a trying time when he began to lose his sight. We are grateful that he can now play his favorite game, basketball. I also thank the family and friends who made the trip to India possible. I hope we Kenyans can also stand up and be counted as donors so that people do not have to seek such organs outside the country. I have already siged up to donate my cornea. Rebecca Mwangi Its encouraging that young people such as Newel and his sister understand the importance of donating organs, which we dont need after death anyway. Its the best gift we can give those we leave behind. Ndisi Organ Donation is long overdue. If more people pledged to donate their organs, then needy people wouldnt have to die, or struggle to raise money to get treatment. I too plan to sign up. Emayieka What an inspiring story! Isnt it ironical that there
are people willing to donate their corneas while there are some who cannot even donate blood? Aggy Ayacko After reading this story, I plan to donate all the organs that can be harvested when I die. Sophia Karega I would not mind donating all my healthy organs when I die, provided Im assured that they will benet a deserving person only. This assurance is the only way to convince more Kenyans to consider organ donation. Ann Mwangi Its very encouraging to nd that there are people willing to help others in need. Kenyans should put aside their superstitions and move with the times.The dead are not more important than the living. ruiruark Yes, storybooks are a worthwhile investment I was quite impressed by last weeks contribution in the Have Your Say column. What the writer, Zaituni, wrote was quite true. Over the last few years, my niece has developed an interest in her class work, partly due to the story books she has been reading. Thank you for the educative piece. Albert Anyieni

yperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is overactive, and produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. This is unlike hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland produces very little of the thyroid hormones.
The thyroid is the buttery-shaped gland in the lower, front part of your neck.

They include: Graves disease, an autoimmune disease where autoantibodies are produced to stimulate the thyroid gland into producing excessive thyroid hormones. This is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, and is present in 50-60 per cent of patients with hyperthyroidism. Graves disease may be triggered by stress, smoking, radiation to the neck, some medications, and viral infections. Another cause is toxic multinodular goitre, characterised by a growth on the thyroid gland. This occurs over a period of time, and is common in the elderly. Other
Causes
causes are thyroiditis (inammation of the thyroid gland), excess thyroid hormone intake, mostly following treatment for hypothyroidism, and abnormal secretion of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). When too much thyroid hormones circulate in the blood, most metabolic functions tend to speed up. Symptoms often worsen as the thyroid hormones increase in the blood. Mild hyperthyroidism may not present with any symptoms. Most young patients have symptoms such as
Symptoms
Treatment is extremely individualised, based on ones age, severity and symptoms. One modality of treatment involves use of drugs to counteract the eects of the elevated thyroid hormones. Radioactive iodine may also be given to destroy the active thyroid cells producing the thyroid hormones. A side eect of this therapy may be hypothyroidism, which may be
Treatment
As mentioned above, in the elderly, hyperthyroidism may aect the heart, even resulting to heart failure. Untreated hyperthyroidism may also result in a thyroid storm which is life threatening, and presents with very high blood pressure, fever, confusion, very high heart rate, abnormal heart rhythms and heart failure, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, coma and death. This is a medical emergency. Thyroid eye disease is another complication, which in addition to protrusion of the eyeball, may also present with double vision.

ouve probably heard a story or two about the evil step-mother, the one who makes the lives of her step-children a living hell. Depending on the version you have heard, she denies the poor defenseless children food, beats them mercilessly at the slightest provocation, makes them scrub dirty oors, wash mountains of dishes in short, do all the hard work while she and her biological children put their feet up all day and do nothing. Shes got a dark heart, and is evil personied. Anthony Rugut would nd any of these versions dicult to believe, after all, he was raised by his step-mother and has only good things to say about her. This 29-year-olds biological mother left him and his three siblings 21 years ago, never to return. He was just eight years old then, and his mothers disappearance confused him greatly. He would later learn that she was psychologically unstable, and when her illness ared up, she would become violent, especially towards them. One day, she simply walked out, never to return. It seems like a life time ago, I hardly remember her. All I recall is being taken to our grandmothers home late in the evening when she failed to return, Anthony says. Since his father, Isaac Cheruiyot, spent a lot of time away from home working, their grandparents took up most of the responsibility of looking after and raising them. Anthony says that they did try to make them as comfortable as possible, but something was still lacking a mothers touch. But this would change when his father married Eunice Cheruiyot a year later, the woman whom Anthony and his siblings consider their mother. Of course we were apprehensive at rst. We had no idea what to expect, but her warm nature won us over after a short time, Anthony says. Eunice was a young bride, only 24 years at the time, and with no children of her own, and therefore had no idea what it took to raise a child. She admits that she hadnt really given thought to the responsibility that awaited her when she got married to Cheruiyot, all that she knew was that she was in love, and that somehow, things would work out.
Starting afresh
Anthony and his mother, Eunice Cheruiyot, at their home in Keringet, Kuresoi .
Some of my relatives were against my marriage, and in a way, I understand why looking after four young children isnt easy, whether theyre yours or someones elses, Eunice re ects. The eldest child was fteen, the second thirteen, the third eleven, while Anthony, the youngest, was nine. However, she points out that there will always be those who disagree with the decisions you make. At the end of the day though, she says, the decision is yours to make, and it doesnt matter what others think. Im grateful to my parents-in-law, who sup-
ported me in so many ways, especially trying to make the children understand that I was their new mother, and that I wasnt going to hurt them, she says. But forging a trusting relationship with her new children didnt happen overnight. I think we were all apprehensive, but I knew that it was my responsibility as the adult to reach out rst and try to make them comfortable, Eunice says. Shes a good woman, it was easy to like her,
It takes patience
Anthony cuts in. We are at the family home in Kerin Kuresoi, where Eunice lives with her husb When we arrive at the homestead, Eunice Anthony embrace warmly and as we w them, theres no doubting the love and a tion they feel for each other. Eunice is 45 n and a mother of 12 four adopted children, another eight of her own. We didnt feel any less loved even when other children came along mama treate equally, she had no favourites, and becaus this, anyone who didnt know our story
LAW
instance getting a letter from the Registrar of Persons. Eight years after getting married, my husband went to work abroad. I have learnt that he has changed his name and is living with another woman. We have three children together, who are under my care. What legal action can I take? This depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to divorce him, then you apply to court for divorce. If divorce is not what youre after, then you may apply for judicial separation. This does not end the marriage, but removes all the marital obligations that you would otherwise have towards each other. Alternatively, you can sue your husband for maintenance of the chil-
dren. This is done through the Childrens Court if he has shown unwillingness to provide for your children. In this case, the court will order him to provide a certain amount of money periodically, subject to his nancial ability. I have lived with the father of my two children for eight years. Were not formally married and he has never introduced me to his family. I have property, which is registered in my name. Does he have a claim over my children and property? He does have claim to your children since hes their father. You therefore cannot take away this right from him unless the court nds him to be unt to raise a child or be around one. Since you are not legally married, as long as you are alive,
what you own, and is registered in your name, is yours. If, however, you passed on, this may change. He may apply to court for a declaration that he was your husband in law. If the court agrees with his application, it would give him a claim over your property and therefore allow him to inherit it. This normally happens if one dies without leaving a Will. He might also argue that he was your dependant when you were still alive, and therefore, should continue to be provided for from the property you left behind.

Anthony says that his mother taught him how to be a good parent to his children.
A MOTHER DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE THE ONE THAT GAVE BIRTH TO YOU. MY DEFINITION OF A PARENT IS ONE WHO ACCEPTS YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. Anthony
sumed that we were of the same mother, Anthony tells us. Another thing he admires about the woman who brought him up is the fact that shes hardworking, and where their father was unable to provide, she stepped in without having to be asked. She did everything possible, including tilling other peoples farms, which is hardwork, to ensure that we went to school and that we had food, he says. But more important for a then young Anthony was the fact that Eunice wasnt afraid of being aectionate with them. I think she understood that what we wanted more was assurance and security, especially after what we had been through - she hugged us, and often told us that she loved us. Anthony also recalls them gathering around the evening re at their grandparents kitchen while Eunice regaled them with stories. Before long, the four children begun to call her mama and that was when Eunice knew that the barrier had been broken, and that they would be alright, even though there were certain to be challenges along the way. It was dicult to get through to the older children since they kept their distance and seemed to trust only their father, she recalls. But she didnt allow this to discourage her, and used every chance she got to reach out to them and show them that she had their best interests at heart. They gradually began to warm up to her, and with time, they could have a normal conversation. During the initial stages of their marriage, her husband took up the role of disciplining the children, a step that she advises other stepparents to try. At the beginning, the biological parent should do all the disciplining, at least until you establish trust and they understand that youre not punishing them because you hate them, she advises, adding that a reprimand or beating too early in the relationship would only alienate you from them. The biological parent, she says, should also step in when one of the children throws a tantrum and needs reassurance that all will be well, or needs instant discipline. When she got children of her own, Eunice was careful to ensure that when a childs bad behaviour required discipline, it was dished out equally, so was assigning duties.
While herding cows, fetching water or carrying out any other duties, I would mix them up, this way, there was no way any of them could complain of favouritism, she explains. She also taught them to love each other, and encouraged them to look out for each other. Today, they are very close to each other, and they are simply brothers and sisters the word step doesnt arise in any of their conversations. In Eunice, Anthonys father says that he not only found a companion, but a loving mother for his children. I wondered how Id cope when their mother left they were so young. In Eunice, I not only found love, but also a woman who has taken care of my children as if they were her own, Cheruiyot, who was present during the interview, says. Anthonys paternal grandmother agrees that Eunice has done a good job with her grandchildren. Every child needs a good mother, and Im glad my grandchildren got one - theyre all grown up now, and are doing well. Nothing makes me happier, she says. Anthony is married and has two children, but his mother continues to play an active role in his life. She is the perfect grandmother to my children, and gladly looks after them whenever we need her to. When his wife gave birth to their children, each time, she took time o her duties at home to take care of her and help her look after the children. Shes a good inuence to my children, just as she was to us because of her, Im a good parent to my children, and every day, I try to give them the attention, aection and assurance I know they need from me, Anthony says. Hes also thanks his mother for teaching him the value of hard work. She frowned on laziness, and expected each of us to make a contribution around our home. For instance, we had to learn how to weed as soon as we were able to lift a hoe today, there isnt a job I cannot do, he says, adding that this is one of the reasons his mother deserves all the honour and gratitude. A mother does not necessarily have to be the one who gave birth to you my denition of a parent is one who accepts you and loves you unconditionally I know this because my mother is this kind of parent.

Come sleep right here between us where youll be safe and warm, I suggested, because, really, there was nothing else we could do at that time of night. It wasnt long before Puddng was snoring softly. Only problem is, our beds a double. Plus, Puddngs the messiest sleeper. Before I could count a dozen sheep, her limbs were all over the place and I was now sleeping with half my backside hanging from the bed. Phew, shes asleep ... now we can return her to her bed, I whispered to Tenderoni. As soon as I cuddled her in my arms, she woke up, whimpering about her aching tooth. The following morning, even without a doctors orders, the verdict was unanimous: bed rest. Besides, the sweet little things so particular about her looks, and said her classmates would poke fun at her. Slice for me some sausage, Puddng surprised us, because we thought, for breakfast, shed fall for the pureed food Tenderoni was preparing for her. Mum, youre breaking my heart, our sweet tooth complained when Tenderoni told her shed have to lay o some stu, like ice-cream. With a swollen cheek, Puddng was concerned about her physical looks. Thinking she was putting the ugh in ugly. We had to keep reassuring her that she was still beautiful. When we go to church, Ill wear this hat like this, Puddng demonstrated, pulling her woollen cap over her right cheek.
In the evening when we got a visitor, who commented about baby girls swollen cheek, it hit her where it matters most. In her selfesteem department. Kwani it has swollen that badly, Puddng whined after the visitor left, and we told her to snap out of it. That she was still cute. I caught the poor thing gazillion times in front of the mirror, checking the damage . Shes no fussbudget. Comes with the territory. Give a boy a swollen cheek, and hell rock it like ice. Man, Puddngs pain hasnt been without its light moments. Like good sports, weve tried to keep straight faces. Baby girl looked funny, but we didnt want to make her pain, (and self-esteem issues), worse. Yall know Puddngs generally a fussy eater. Once or

twice, I stopped myself from telling her to swallow her food even when she wasnt eating - mistaking the swollen cheek for chow! We forgot to take pictures, Tenderoni commented yesterday, regretting that missed Kodak Moment, which was really Puddngs dark moment. Mom? Take the pictures now, Puddng teased, having the last laugh, while posing for imaginary photos. PSST. Our daughters a hygiene freak. Especially when it comes down to washing ones hands after visiting the bathroom. I reckon this stems from what theyre taught in school. Last term, she came home with a hygiene poster theyd been given at school by reps of a soap company. For days on end, we couldnt hear the end of her cleanliness sermon. Today in the evening, I found her lathering and I mean a nine-inch thick lather - her hands with a hand wash. When she starts handling water, we have to read her the riot act to get her out of the bathroom. I nd her smelling her palms, the sanitising scent of the hand wash wafting in the air. Dah-dee? she asks, inhaling the scent. Can you hear the sound of Dettol?
here is a well-known childhood fable about a rabbit trying to reach a fruit hanging from a tree, and on failing to do so, loudly proclaims how tasteless the fruit is. The converse of the hard to get fruit is the concept of the lowest hanging fruit, which we will discuss today, in regard to our relationships. In a nutshell, the lowest hanging fruit represents easy solutions to issues, and can have negative or positive consequences depending on the circumstances. The adage, When the deal is too good, think twice, suggests that easy solutions come at a cost, sometimes a very high cost. My concern today is about people who are in relationships and who, when faced with challenges, take the easiest route out. Cheap solutions in this case would mean those that require least work, least time, and worst of all for relationships,
least engagement. These are the keys to successful relationships, and like capsules from a doctor, they must be swallowed whole. Some of the things I would consider to be low hanging fruits in relationships include mipango ya kando, escape to alcohol, work, and dishing out money, all as attempts to circumvent the search for real solutions to the problems youre going through in your marriage. Most of these have been discussed at length in dierent contexts in this column. I will briefly discuss two that have recently come up in my interaction with readers. Honey, give me a break: One of the trends in todays relationship is the idea of taking a break from each other when things start to go wrong. The law provides for judicial separation, and this can be sought when there are major issues, such as threats to your
safety or that of the children. However, nowadays people take a break even when therere no major issues. Some do not even know why their spouses are seeking for a break. It may be easier I suppose, for people who are dating, but how should a person respond when his/her legally married spouse asks for a break? For some, the separation involves actual physical relocation, while for others; it is more of mental and emotional separation. The more worrying bit of this idea is the question
of what the break actually means. Does it for instance allow the spouses to get into relationships with others and to what extent? This, in my opinion, is taking a short cut, and will not arrive at real solutions that will ensure a lasting relationship. Where you go, I go: This sounds as if its coming straight from the holy writ - far from it. It represents one of the saddest occurrences in relationships, where a person takes a clearly wrong path, yet the spouse knowingly follows
suite. This happens many times in cases of alcoholism and indelity, where the wronged spouse chooses to engage in the same behavior rather than confront the problem and seek solutions. It is the, If you cant beat them, join them, argument, which unfortunately is a sure path to destruction. A very common argument for those who take this path is that it shows they are interested in keeping the relationship at all cost, including sacricing their own values and principles. For others, it begins as revenge before they too get hooked. The end result is likely to be a total breakdown of the relationship. I once read a joke about an elderly couple that was asked what the secret of their long marriage was. The old man answered: All our marriage life, we have gone out for dinner twice every week. The interviewer was visibly wowed by the statement, until the old lady cut in: He goes on Tuesday; I go on Friday! It was a solution that worked for them, but was it the best for the relationship? Just as many good things dont come easy, great relationships too call for sweat and blood.
Grilling
Compared to frying, baking uses less fat, and theres less production of toxic byproducts during the cooking process. Baked food is certainly tasty, even though most baked foods need a lot of preparation time, even when baking a small quantity. Roasting is a form of baking, but unlike actual baking, does not require any additives, therefore its a healthier alternative.
Baking
NUTMEG
It is one of the most valuable spieces, considering that the rst harvest takes place seven to nine years after planting
This method uses very high heat, meaning that broiled food cooks for a very short time. Broiling is best when cooking sh, or seafood such as shellsh, shrimps and oysters, which require light cooking.
Broiling
If youre health-conscious, steaming and boiling are the best ways to cook food, simply because they do not require cooking oil or fat to prepare. In some cases, food prepared this way lacks in taste, with the exception of steamed vegetables, which I nd tastier than stir-fried ones. Compared to boiling where the water used is often discarded, steaming retains more nutrients. The Chinese are maters of steaming
food, which they mostly do using bamboo steamers. However, they seldom steam vegetables; instead, they stir-fry them. Steaming is mostly used to cook a variety of meat dishes, such as sh, pork spare ribs, beef patties, chicken and ground pork. They also steam rice and certain wheat dishes such as buns and Chinese cakes. Unfortunately, steamed meat dishes, with the exception of some dim sum dishes, are less common in Chinese restaurants than in traditional home cooking because meats usually require longer cooking time. Boiling comes in handy when you want to mash or puree vegetables to make soup. Such vegetables include potatoes, carrots and turnips. Softer vegetables such as courgettes, tomatoes and broccoli can do with some steaming, even if you plan to mash them.
While boiling can be done in a pressure cooker, or a pan, steaming requires a steamer, which is quite expensive. If you cannot aord one right now, you can improvise. 1 Fill a large pan water, up to an inch if steaming a kilo of vegetables 2 Add salt if you want 3 Put the pan on a cooker 4 Have a colander or metal sieve wide enough to sit over the rim of the pan 5 Place the washed, peeled and sliced vegetables in the colander or sieve 6 When the water begins to boil, reduce the heat, place the colander on top and cover. 7 Cook until the vegetables reach desired consistency. Alternatively, food may be steamed in a pressure cooker by placing it on a special tray with holes, just above the water.

Accusing Kibaki of perpetrating a civilian coup, Pentagon plotted to declare party boss peoples president. But they had not taken into account Internal Security ministers cunning ways
PAGE 2-5
t ODMs first meeting at the Pentagon House after the KICC fiasco, it was unanimously resolved that we would resort to peaceful mass action until Kibaki accepted defeat and relinquished power. But it was also agreed that the newly constituted Technical Team (which was made up mainly of former strategy team members) would meet later and map out a comprehensive SWOT (Strengths, Weaknessesz, Opportunities and Threats) analysis on mass action and report, within a day, to the ODM Pentagon. The meeting agreed that by blatantly rigging the presidential election, Kibaki had declared war, and executed a civilian coup dtat against the popular will of the Kenyan people. In response, many felt that we needed to take the war to Kibakis doorstep. We knew that Kibaki and his PNU Alliance controlled the coercive arms of government the police, the intelligence and the military. But force alone wasnt enough. History is replete with lessons of mighty military forces being humbled by ragtag formations. As a student of history and politics, I believed that the Kibaki regime could be forced to relinquish power. We resolved that Raila should declare himself President and prepare to be sworn in at Uhuru Park within hours. This suggestion elicited heated debate, with those opposed, warning about treason charges. Treason, those of us who supported the idea insisted, couldnt be preferred against the people; it was the people who had, and who would inaugurate Raila as their President. The majority in the room felt that most Kenyans were prepared to rise up against Kibakis civilian coup.
4,578,034
President Kibakis votes in the 2007 elections, against Railas 4,352,993, according to the electoral commission Salim Lone, Kibisu Kabatesi and I prepared a statement declaring Raila President. It was now around 3.30pm. We had summoned the media to the Pentagon House. The consensus was that the Narok North MP-elect and octogenarian, William
ole Ntimama, not Raila, was best suited to read the statement. Firstly, he supported this option more than any other senior member of ODM. Secondly, he was elderly and the feeling was that Kibaki would be reluctant to haul such an elderly man to jail. My view, however, was that as the person whose victory was being snatched, Raila should have been courageous enough to lay claim to the victory. I also felt Railas voice would have galvanised the country against the injustice being perpetrated against them by Kibaki. This was no time for half-hearted shadow-boxing. At 3.45pm, just as Ntimama began to read the prepared statement, the lights went o. As the media scrambled to switch on their backup generators, an announcement was
beamed through all TV and radio stations: Michuki, the then Minister for Internal Security, had imposed a total ban on live broadcasts. On hearing this (even before determining whether or not the order was legally binding), the local media started packing up. It was about 4.50pm, when there was a second announcement on the TV screens: Kibaki was due to be sworn in at State House that same day, at 6pm. We were crestfallen. We had been outmanoeuvred again. At about 5.30pm, the ECK Chairman Kivuitu and his fellow commissioners came on the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) TV channel and formally declared that Kibaki had won the presidential election by 4,578,034 (46.4%) to Railas 4,352,993
(44.1%). Earlier a statement released by the Presidential Press Service even before the ECK had announced the results had claimed that Kibaki had won with 4,584,721 (47%), while Raila had allegedly received 4,352,860 (44%). Amazingly, the KBC TV and Citizen TV figures were carbon copy of the PPS results, putting into question the independence of the media houses, especially the latter, which is supposed to be a commercial concern. The Kenya Television Network (KTN) had been more fair, accurate and balanced; its figures matched closely those of reports we were receiving from ODMs agents (whenever they could be traced). The Nation Television (NTV) numbers were distorted but they were still much closer to

reality than Citizen TVs. Notwithstanding all these, the three media houses (NTV, KTN and Citizen) would later refuse to share their polling figures with the public, or the independent commission of inquiry into the elections of 2007 (the Kriegler Commission). Within minutes of the bizarre announcement, we watched Kivuitu handing over the victory certificate to Kibaki on the State House lawn in front of an assembled but jumbled group of PNU boys and girls. Minutes later Kibaki was sworn in by the then Chief Justice Evan Gicheru and the High Court Registrar, a Ms Christine Meoli. Kibakis low-key State House swearing-in ceremony was conducted at dusk. We could see people arriving, rushing into the tent, (on live television) as the ceremony was going on. There were no foreign diplomats; nor were there foreign correspondents. Clearly, whoever had put that show together was in a great rush and hadnt had time to plan properly. Nor had they had time to invite guests, which made me wonder how those in attendance (most of whom were dressed up in suits and ties) had known Kibaki would win and that a swearing in ceremony had been arranged for that evening. . . Kibaki faced a major diplomatic isolation from most governments. He was now marooned at State House, unable even to venture out to attend a church service, because of the chaos that reigned outside. The Kenya-Uganda Railway had been uprooted in Kibera; no goods were travelling to Uganda by train or road. Tourists had fled. Businesses, factories and oces were closed. The national economy had ground to a halt. Yet, Kibaki did not address the Kenyan people to convince them he was their legitimate leader... I published an article titled The civilian coup was premeditated in which we expounded on our theory that Kibaki had stolen the presidential elections. Consistently during the presidential campaign, Lucy Kibaki had warned Ida Odinga that she would not enter State House. We reminded the country that two weeks before Kenyans had gone to the polls, high ranking PNU leaders like Njenga Karume, John Michuki and the Police Commissioner Hussein Ali had made alarming statements outlining the level to which they would respond to any post-election unrest. Maj-Gen. Ali had also revealed that the swearing in ceremony for the winning presidential candidate would be a state function, instead of the public event Kenyans had, in recent years, become used to. The question that begged an answer was: If Ali had no intelligence or information about electoral malpractice, how did he know that there would be civil unrest? While stating that Mwai Kibaki cannot lose this election, Njenga Karume (now deceased), had, without any prompting, warned Kenyans to remember that he was the Minister for Defence. Both before and after these eerie statements had been made, the above named individuals had engaged in scaremongering, warning innocent civilians that they would be arrested if they participated in any political event after the announcement of the results of presidential elections. In response to Karume, ODMs Deputy Captain, Musalia Mudavadi, had declared: Kenyans can only interpret Karumes boisterous statement as a threat to Kenyans.
t around 2.30pm on Friday December 28, 2007, I drove my vehicle into the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), which was serving as the national tallying centre for the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) and parked at a spot reserved for local observers. Seated beside me was Caroli Omondi (who would later become the Prime Ministers Chief of Sta). He had hitched a ride from Pentagon House, where we had left chaos. The security ocers at the KICC gate recognised me and waved us in without checking our credentials. As we climbed down the stairs into a large hall which had been converted into a media centre, I saw hundreds of anxious, angry and frustrated people, all trying to speak at once. Polling had closed in the parliamentary and presidential elections more than 24 hours earlier and now the results were overdue. At the far end of the hall, perched high on an elevated portion, were the Electoral Commission of Kenya commissioners, but their chairman, Samuel Kivuitu, was missing. There were a dozen other people seated beside and behind the commissioners. It wasnt clear who they were, where they had come from, or what they were doing sitting with the ECK commissioners. But they too looked anxious. Nobody on that dais was speaking. Their eyes were fixed on the space in front of them. There was media everywhere; print, electronic and TV. Caroli and I spoke briefly with some ODM observers that were seated at the back of the hall. They told us that Kivuitu was supposed to address the gathering at any moment. We snaked our way towards the front. I could see the ODM Chairman, Henry Kosgey, ODM Secretary General Anyang Nyongo, Pentagon member Charity Ngilu and other ODM luminaries seated right in the middle of the front row, chatting animatedly. We were about two feet away from them when Caroli turned to me and said, matter-of-factly: Miguna, these people are not giving us this thing. What do you mean they are not giving us this thing? I shot back. Kibaki will not hand over power, Caroli replied. Still struggling with the enormity of what Caroli had just said, I proceeded to where our luminaries were seated and squeezed myself right behind them. Whats going on? I whispered to Ngilu. Well, we are just waiting for Kivuitu to come down and start announcing the results...its getting late already, she replied, sounding worried. But where is the National Tallying Centre? This is a
Miguna, you must leave here at once or Ill remove you myself! said Kosgey, menacingly ODM Chairman Henry Kosgey, ordering Miguna to leave the tallying centre at KICC
media centre. Where are the tallying clerks, the 16A and 17A forms? Why are we all here? I said rather loudly, turning to where Nyongo and Kosgey were seated. They both shrugged their shoulders. After hours of increasing restlessness, Kivuitu appeared, looking chirpy and carrying a brown file. Ladies and gentlemen, I know you have been very patient, he began. Unfortunately, I have no news for you. We are still trying to find our returning ocers, some of them have switched their phones o and we dont know where they are. But well find them. When we do, Ill come down and start announcing the results, as they come in... Nooo! Noooo! the crowd roared back. I decided to go in search of the National Tallying Centre, which was on the second floor. It was guarded by two solid reinforced wooden doors, which were in
turn manned by several heavilyarmed administration police and the General Service Unit (GSU) ocers, none of whom looked like they were in the mood for any conversation. As I stood outside, I saw people arriving in pairs, carrying briefcases, plastic bags and large brown envelopes. As soon as they reached the door, the security opened the door for them. Some would disappear inside, while others would emerge after a few minutes, either emptyhanded or carrying something. I saw several Party of National Unity (PNU) big shots entering and leaving in this way. But no Orange Democratic Movement mandarins were coming upstairs alongside them. After spending close to 45 minutes monitoring PNU bigwigs coming in and out of the place where, I presumed, the election results were being cooked I gathered my courage , and approached one of the heavily armed security men stationed at the door. Soldier; habari! Whats going on here? I dont know, he replied sullenly. I see. Isnt this the National Tallying Centre? I continued, using the leading- question approach that lawyers find handy in such situations. Maybe; what do you want? he responded. Two more ocers had joined him by now and a small crowd was forming around me. Well, if it is the National Tallying Centre, I said removing my observer badge from my shirt pocket, then I would like to go in and see whats happening inside. No you cant! a newly arrived ocer said, blocking my path. Why is that? I asked, inching forward and stretched my hands as if trying to open the door. Because you cant! another one answered, blocking my way. There were now about ten heavily-built, muscle men, carrying AK-47s, glaring at me. But I have seen PNU politicians (names deleted for legal reasons) going in and out of this CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
As the country celebrated the coalition government, strategists at Orange House were raving mad. They felt Raila had made far too many concessions to President Kibaki, and that he had transformed a tad too fast into an establishment man.
The day after he had been sworn in as Prime Minister, Raila left Pentagon House in the company of Caroli Omondi, Mohammed Isahakia, Tony Gachoka and Abdilrahman Iddris to inspect the new oces allocated to the Prime Minister at the Treasury Building on Harambee Avenue. Raila left in a huge motorcade of five vehicles and two motorcycle outriders, with screaming sirens. Caroli, Isahakia, Tony and Iddris drove their vehicles at high speed, chasing after the motorcade. In the 15 minutes Raila had stopped over at Pentagon House that day, something had jarred. He had looked and sounded dierent. Even his gait had changed. He had walked, gestured and spoken with a new authority . We had all been astounded: the trsansformation seemed too fast to be believable. But there were other more serious
Mr Miguna, you will not intimidate me. I know you...I know you are huge, but Im not scared of you! Samuel Kivuitu
Just before midnight, they had released a provisional national presidential tally that gave Raila about one million votes ahead of Kibaki. But we were neither happy nor satisfied because, curiously, Kivuitu was withholding nearly all the results from Central Province, the large and populous constituencies in Eastern and the constituencies in Central Rift Valley, which is home to the Gikuyu Diaspora.
July9
Jacqueline Oduol, Kenneth Ombongi, Athman Said, Andrew Mondoh and I from the list of proposed permanent secretaries. Instead, Athman and Jacqueline got appointed secretaries for the departments of culture and childrens aairs. Although Raila kept himself busy chairing five cabinet subcommittees, rarely were any of the resolutions reached ratified at the cabinet meetings chaired by Kibaki. If anything, the cabinet either completely ignored them, or routinely reversed them. The police commissioner, the head of the intelligence service and the military didnt recognise Railas authority. Whenever Raila issued directives to these and other government ocials, you could be sure they would never be complied with. Things werent any better in Parliament. There, a new coalition against Raila had emerged that was becoming increasingly virulent and well-organised. Railas deputy party leader, ODM Pentagon member and Minister for Agriculture William Ruto had openly broken ranks with him and the Orange party. Meanwhile, a few vocal MPs calling themselves the Grand Coalition Opposition under the leadership , of the MP for Budalangi Pius Tawfiq Ababu Namwamba were breathing fire down Railas neck. Then there were the ODM MPs who, dissatisfied with having not been appointed into cabinet, were threatening to rebel against both the ODM and its leader. Whereas Raila publicly downplayed
the tensions within the coalition as teething problems in private, he was , reeling with rage. He had nothing positive to say or report about his coalition partner. He blamed Kibaki for everything. He felt with lots of justification that almost all meetings they held, just the two of them, never bore any fruit. Raila preferred meeting Kibaki with others from our side. Ironically, however, whenever such meetings were held, Raila not only failed to press Kibaki for concessions, he didnt encourage any of our members to confront Kibaki. This was quite frustrating for me. Tomorrow: How ODM stopped William Ruto and other party rebels from taking over UDM.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 Be careful not to upset other people or a relationship. It could come to a grinding halt mind you, if you are looking for an excuse to exclude somebody from your life. The stars are providing you with one at this time. However, in the main its always wisest to plan before leaping into action. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 There may be a slowing down of activities but this will work in your favour in the long run, particularly where money matters are concerned. So dont grumble too loudly. The inuence of a superior or more experienced person will certainly be useful when trying to solve a thorny personal problem. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 The star may lead you into considering some kind of self-improvement either physically or mentally. Well, you always aim for perfection doesnt you Aries. Whichever you decide upon, the decision is likely to be a good one as you will nd a new interesting and more stimulating image and will feel more condent. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 All work can be done today. You can turn your attention to details and even routine without so much as stiing a yawn. Yes a plodding mood seems to have overwhelmed you and this of course is always useful for clearing the decks. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 You need to think long and hard about career moves. Try to put recent changes and new opportunities into their proper perspective. It may very well be that an intense relationship is disturbing your equilibrium. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 New friends that you meet today will make you think deeply, especially where issues over controlling money are concerned. All areas of life require a certain amount of diplomacy today so see if you can nip down to the shops and buy an ounce or two. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 Wise management of time and energy is important now, mainly due to the fact that any imbalance may aect your health. Your creative talents will be appreciated and you can inspire support from colleagues. VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 This is a time for mixing business with pleasure. Loved ones and colleagues will get along with you like a house on re. Discussing your ambitions and professionals desires in the comfort of your own home will make you be seen in a much softer light. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 You are full of condence and get up and go. This is a day to use really well, Libra, so dont hang back where your ambitions are concerned. You are lled with a solar light and power, so that others are easily impressed by what you have to say and what you do. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 Do make certain that you can cover your expenses and, if not, dont build up more credit than you can realistically aord. Hopefully, you are a typical Scorpio, in which case it will be relatively easy for you to avoid this foolish pit fall. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 Money thats owed comes rolling in. If ever there was a time for presenting your ideas and suggestions to loved ones, this is it. Once you have their seal of approval, you will feel more condent about letting your professional contacts know whats going on between those ears of yours. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 You may be expecting far too much out of a current problem or job. Unusually, it looks as if you are looking for the easy way out, although subconsciously you know there simply isnt one.Possibly this aspect is making you lazy.

The patient on the bed was not the jovial Uncle Sese they were used to. This man looked sad and frail. They could not believe that the crippled man in front of them was Uncle Sese! Bebe looked at the patient once again. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Pepito was also stunned into silence.
