WORRYING TREND | Alarm over increasing cases of people asking for pills meant to shield health professionals from infection

an emergency treatment, mainly for
health workers and victims of sexual
crimes. It is usually administered to
those suspected to have come into
contact with HIV-infected material.
The treatment must start within
72 hours of exposure and consists
of a daily dosage of six tablets taken
for 28 days.
Doctors are worried that those
abusing the PEP pills do not take
the full dosage, thus not only risk-
ing infection but also incubating a
virus which is resistant to medica-
tion.
The drugs are only available in
public hospitals and are provided at
no cost. It is illegal for chemists to
stock them.
When PEP was first introduced as
an emergency drug to prevent HIV
infection in the early 1990s, it was
praised as a scientific breakthrough.
At the time, it was meant for health
professionals who were at great risk
of being infected with the virus in the
line of duty. With time, it was made
available to people exposed to the
virus under circumstances, such as
rape or sexual assault.
In the recent past, however, there
has been a sharp rise in the number
of people seeking the drugs, after en-
gaging in unprotected sex especially
during holidays and weekends.
Many of those asking doctors to
give them the pills use them the same
way others use emergency contracep-
tives — as an afterthought.
Many of them claim to have had
“accidents” which exposed them to
HIV. The accidents, according to
Nyeri County Aids and Sexually-trans-
mitted Diseases coordinator Jeniffer
Kiruri, range from sexual assault or a
needle prick to a torn condom.
She said that between July and Sep-
tember, the Nyeri Provincial General
Hospital gave the pills to more than
100 patients, most of them young
people of 16 years and above.
This group is one of the most at
the risk of HIV infection.
Ask doctors
Dr Enoch Ondari, the Kisii Level
Five medical superintendent, said
the health centre received requests
for PEP occasionally especially dur-
ing weekends.
“People do come to our facility to
seek PEP services with the excuse
of a burst condom. Normally, this
happens during the weekends or on
Monday morning,” he said.
Hospital records indicate that more
men than women ask doctors for the
tablets.
Dr Martin Sirengo, the head of
National Aids and STI Control Pro-
gramme (Nascop), said there had
been an alarming rise in the number
of people abusing the drugs especially
after weekends.
“We cannot deny them the drug

BACKGROUND
Tablets must be
taken for 28 days
PEP is a combination of two
drugs: Aluvia and Combivin and
is only available at no cost in
public hospitals.
A person for whom PEP has
been prescribed is required
to swallow six tablets in a day
for 28 days. One takes three
tablets — two Aluvia and one
Combivin — twice a day.
PEP is not a simple morning-
after pill: it is a month-long
course of treatment.
PEP treatment must begin
within 72 hours of exposure to
HIV. The sooner the treatment
starts the better.
The drug is mostly used within
the health sector as part of a
comprehensive precautions

posure to infectious hazards at
work.

But to qualify for a prescription,
one must undergo thorough testing
and provide contact details to the
doctor giving the tablets.
This procedure is meant to make
it difficult for middlemen to get the
drugs for free from public hospitals
and resell them.

istrator at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga

T
he National Assembly has
called for dialogue on conten-
tious sections of a media Bill
passed by Parliament last week.
Majority Leader Aden Duale yester-
day said all the concerns raised by the
media industry should be brought on
board as the Energy, Communication
and Information committee came out
to defend the Bill, saying there was
nothing wrong with it.
Committee chairman Jamleck
Kamau accused the media of subject-
ing his committee and the National
Assembly to “mob lynching”, as
Speaker Justin Muturi said some
members had decided to side with
the media for popularity.
The Speaker allowed Mr Kamau
to issue a statement on the Kenya
Information and Communications
(Amendment) Bill, whose need he
said, arose from the debate it had
generated.
Mr Muturi maintained that the Bill,
which is awaiting presidential assent,
was constitutional.
The committee chairman said he
was confident that the Bill was “clean
and clear.”
“I actually advise the President to
sign it into law,” he said.
Mr Duale, however, said there
should be dialogue on the matter
even as the Bill awaits the decision
of the President.
“Whether he assents to it or not, we
want to sit with the committee and

hina’s ambassador to the

his country supports the
Africa-backed resolution calling for
deferral of the ICC cases against
Kenya’s leaders.
“We fully understand the con-

Mr Liu is also serving as the

“Kenya’s leaders, who were demo-

people, and their dignity, should be
fully protected and respected,” he said,
and asked the council to “ensure that
the Kenyan leaders can concentrate
on discharging their constitutional
duties, including playing a very
constructive regional role in peace
and security.”
China’s position puts it at odds

Russia, the fifth permanent mem-

seeking a one-year deferral of the pro-
ceedings against President Kenyatta
and Deputy President William Ruto.
Mr Liu did not indicate specifically
when the resolution will be taken up
by the 15-member council.
“The usual practice,” he said, “is
that council members will have con-
sultations on a draft resolution and
decide on what course of action the
council will take.”
At a news conference outlining
the council’s programme of work for
November, the Chinese envoy framed
the effort to defer the ICC cases as
consistent with the need to maintain
international peace and security.

While giving the reasons for the

should not stop the trial of Mr

The prosecution holds that
the trial of President Kenyatta
can run simultaneously with the
determination of application to

“The Accused’s application for
a permanent stay of proceedings
(“Application”) comes nowhere
near the high threshold the Ap-
peals Chamber has established for
such relief. On the contrary, the
matters raised in the Application
show why a trial is necessary,” Ms
Bensouda said in her response.
“The Application proceeds
on two fronts: (i) assertions re-
garding alleged offences against

attacks on the credibility of two
prosecution witnesses. Neither
surpasses the high bar required
for the imposition of a stay,”
the response dated November

The prosecution argued that the
issues President Kenyatta raised
in his application would be better
raised at cross-examination and
not grounds to stop the trial.

“An evidential hearing on

President Kenyatta said in the

Mr Kenyatta’s lawyers had

His defence team had stated

Sang used his radio programme

to preach peace, defence says
BY NATION REPORTER
Mr Joshua arap Sang used
his popular radio programme
Le Nee Emet (What is the world
saying) to preach peace, his
defence told the The-Hague-
based court yesterday.
Mr Sang’s defence lawyer
Katwa Kigen said his client
was “pleading for peace and
perseverance” even before Ken-
yans went to the elections in
2007. On February 18, 2008,
Mr Kigen said, his client “dedi-
cated his programme to prayers
and Bible reading.”
Mr Kigen’s cross-examina-
tion of Witness 268 was fraught
with private sessions, cutting
various sections of the witness
testimony from the public.
The defence also maintained
that Mr Sang (right) did not
support any political party
and ODM for that matter
at the elections. He played
audio recordings of his client’s
broadcasts in 2007 and 2008
to prove to the court that his
client was innocent.
Defence: The host of the
programme makes reference
to PNU. Doesn’t he?
Witness: Yes, your honour.
Defence: He also makes ref-
erence to ODM, doesn’t he?
Witness: Yes, your honour
Defence: He also makes

Witness: Yes, your honour
Defence: At the end of listing
all the parties, does he recom-
mend the party that should be
followed by all listeners?
Witness: Not from what I
have read.
Defence: Could you confirm,
that Sang says ‘I am shocked’
on the second line of the trans-
lation by the prosecution?
Witness: Yes.
Defence: Could you explain
to the court what shocked
him?
Witness: He is shocked by
the fact that the caller doesn’t
prioritise the person but the
party.
Defence: And the person is
Mr Ruto?
Witness: Yes.
Defence: Mr Witness, could
you confirm, as a matter of fact
that Sang was pleading for
peace and perseverance?
Witness: Yes.
(Court goes into private
session)
Mr Kigen also said that after
the elections, Mr Sang was not
only concerned by the violence
in the Rift Valley but the entire
country.
Defence: Mr Witness, you
also notice Sang has high-
lighted violence was all over
Kenya?
Witness: Yes, your honour.
Defence: Did you listen to
this broadcast?
Witness: I can’t remember.
Defence: When the prosecu-
tion played to you the audio
of February 18, 2008, did they
also play out this audio I have
just played to you?
Witness: I can’t remember.
No, I don’t recall.
Defence: Mr Witness, you
realise Mr Sang is asking
the listeners of Le Nee Emet
to disclose who planned the
violence?
Witness: Yes, your honour.
Mr Kigen also sought to dis-
credit the witness testimony
that Mr Sang had told people
to demonstrate against stolen
elections, saying, the accused
appealed for people to remain
indoors and leave the tallying
of votes to politicians.

D
ebate on a report critical of
the conduct of Lands Cabinet
Secretary Charity Ngilu began
last evening as an MP prepared an
amendment seeking to have her “take
full responsibility.”
Ugunja’s Opiyo Wandayi (ODM)
says in his amendment that Mrs Ngilu
should take full responsibility for the
“unconstitutional, illegal and irregular
acts of creating offices and making
arbitrary appointments, promotions
and transfers in the ministry.”
“Further, Hon Ngilu should be held
to account for any undesired conse-
quences such as, but not limited to,
financial loss that may arise from the
aforementioned acts of commission
on her part,” he states in the amend-
ment.
The joint committees on Delegated
Legislation and Land have declared
that Mrs Ngilu’s appointment of Mr
Peter Kahuho as the Director General
of Lands was unconstitutional. The ap-
pointment has since been revoked.
Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu with senators Dan Mwazo (centre) and Chris
Obure when she appeared before the Senate’s Agricultural committee yesterday.
He said it was confirmed that Mrs
Ngilu had overstepped her mandate
by creating positions and appointing
those to fill them.
Mr William Cheptumo (Baringo
North, URP) said the minister did
that based on a draft proposal de-
spite the Public Service Commission
being legally in charge of appointing
people to positions it created in the
civil service.
The committee recommended that
the officers who had been transferred
or removed from office be reinstated
and the irregular appointments or

promotions reversed. It had asked
Mrs Ngilu to, as a matter of urgency,
submit to the National Assembly the
regulations needed to put into further
effect the Lands Act.
Mr Wandayi’s amendment could set
up a serious war of words with MPs
who support the Cabinet Secretary
and those who had lobbied hard since
the report was presented in the House
on Thursday.
This was apparent in the numbers
present in the evening as debate

Raila offers to help
resolve EAC dispute
BY NATION REPORTER
Former Prime Minister
Raila Odinga yesterday
offered to help resolve the
controversy threatening to
break up the East African
Community.
Mr Odinga appealed to
Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta,
Yoweri Museveni (Uganda),
Jakaya Kikwete (Tanzania)
and Paul Kagame (Rwanda)
to urgently pick a panel of
statesmen from the EAC to
resolve the controversy that
has seen Tanzania threaten
to pull out of the political
and economic bloc.
“I want to propose to re-
gional Heads of State that
a panel of statesmen from
the EAC be put together
to work out a mechanism
to resolve the impasse and
put the union back on
track,” he told a press
conference.
Asked whether
he was ready to
sit on the panel
if picked, Mr Od-
inga answered in
the affirmative.
“Yes, I’m ready
to represent
Kenya on that
panel.”
Mr Odinga has
previously resisted
overtures from the Ju-
bilee Government to
appoint him Ken-
ya’s envoy at large, with his
supporters terming it a ploy
to push him into political
retirement.
The Cord leader’s con-
cerns came in the wake
of reports from Dar es
Salaam that Tanzania was
considering a pulling out of
the EAC.
Its minister for EAC
Affairs, Mr Samuel Sitta,
is reported to have told a
charged Parliament in Do-
doma that Dar would not
wait for a “divorce certifi-
cate” from Kenya, Rwanda
and Uganda, but would
“shoot before we are shot.”
The minister spoke on

eni and Salva Kiir of South

COUNTERFEIT MONEY | Banks insist strict control measures are in place to check cash handling
Report cases of fake notes: Banks
Bank-related fraud
is investigated as a
criminal offence by the
CBK, says association
BY AGGREY MUTAMBO

B
anks are now asking those who
have received fake currencies
either through ATMs or over
the counters to report the cases to
the Central Bank’s Fraud Investigat-
ing Unit, or their respective banks as
soon as possible.
Kenya Bankers Association chief
executive Habil Olaka yesterday told
the Nation that cases of fake notes
getting into circulation from banks
were “remote”, but said banks were
willing to ensure such incidents do
not recur.
“I would like to emphasise that a
bank-related fraud, no matter how
small, is investigated as a criminal
offence by Central Bank of Kenya’s
Bank Fraud Investigations Depart-
ment. Each case does matter despite
its magnitude,” Mr Olaka said in a
statement.
“Bearing in mind the control meas-
ures exercised by most banks during
cash handling, we urge members of
the public alleging to have been issued
with fake notes to report and present

the suspicious notes to their respec-

Investigation Department.”
The association, which represents
commercial banks in the country was
responding to a story published in the
Nation on Monday in which a number
of Kenyans claimed they had with-
drawn money from automated teller
machines only to turn out fake.
Yesterday, more Kenyans continued
to share their experience with fake
currency notes as some accused bank-

you can’t deposit fake money through
an ATM. Don’t look further, banks
should screen their staff,” claimed
Stephen Hanya, in a comment to
the online story.
The Consumer Federation of Kenya
asked banks to acknowledge the prob-
lem and do something about it.
“If customers have had this ex-
perience, it is up to the banks to
acknowledge there is a problem and
take responsibility by preventing
similar incidents in future,” Cofek
secretary-general Stephen Mutoro
told the Nation.

FAKE CURRENCY CHECK
Controls banks
say are in place
All cash handling is under CCTV
monitoring and always under
dual custody of both bank staff
and the contracted cash man-
agement firm.
Cash received in banks is
scanned through a machine at
point of receiving (by tellers)
that validates and detects any
fakes currencies.
Cash is then moved to strong
Rooms where again it is vali-
dated by a different team with
bigger machines that will cer-
tainly catch any fake currencies
no matter how sophisticated.
The cash is then loaded into
locked trays that go into the
ATMs. These “trays” cannot be
manually opened or accessed.
The trays are inserted into the
ATMs and only the ATM can pull
out cash from the machines.
But banks argue the procedure of
loading cash in ATMs follows a very
strict routine to ensure notes custom-
ers get are authentic. According to
Mr Olaka, each bank has installed
devices that ensure the notes and
coins are genuine.

Row over land
now threatens
county’s big day
BY NATION REPORTER
A row has erupted between the
national and Machakos county gov-
ernments over land, threatening
the planned opening of the much
publicised investment plan by
President Kenyatta on Friday.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary
Felix Koskei has accused the
county government of grabbing
hundreds of acres of land.
Speaking yesterday when he
presided over the signing of per-
formance contracts by parastatal
chiefs in his ministry, Mr Koskei
said that the county led by Dr
Alfred Mutua had encroached on
2,000 acres that were allocated to
the ministry in 1948.
He said Head of Civil Service
Joseph Kinyua visited the land set
aside for livestock on Monday to
confirm the encroachment.
“The land is for livestock disease
surveillance and the animal genetic
centre,” Mr Koskei said.
He told the county government,
which wants to use the land for in-
vestments including construction
of a new city, to stay away from the
land until talks are held.
But Dr Mutua denied that the
county had grabbed land belonging
to the national government.
He added: “We are shocked be-
cause the minister knows the truth.
We have our land and he has his
land. If the minister has any is-
sues to discuss, we welcome him
to Machakos for a cup of tea.”

She was told by the Industrial Court

“Industrial Court rules prohibit

Parties failed
elections test,
says KNCHR
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Political parties have come
under criticism over how they
conducted nominations ahead of
the last General Election.
In a monitoring report of the
2013 political party nominations
titled “Break from the past”, the
Kenya National Commission on
Human Rights faulted political
parties for lack of transparency
and accountability.
Commission CEO Patricia
Nyaundi said the Independent
Electoral Boundary Commission
ought to have monitored the nomi-
nations to ensure transparency.
“There ought to be very clear
nomination rules managed by the
IEBC and the registrar (of political
parties) was supposed to be very
firm in implementing the laws and
the rules,” said Ms Nyaundi.
Ms Nyaundi (above) said all
the political parties were unable
to run organised, efficient, free and
transparent nominations.
“In the nomination process, the
parties should be disciplined and
avoid the use of paper bags as the
ballot boxes and the use of exercise
books as the ballot papers to avoid
irregularities,” she added.
Ms Nyaundi, who was speaking
in Kisumu during a forum for civil
society to debate the report, noted
that all the nominations were char-
acterised by massive irregularities
and lack of preparedness.
“Parties did not give enough
time for complaint redress and
there was lack of personnel to
address the disputes at the party
level,” she said.
She confirmed that political pa-
tronage manifested itself as some
party leaders sought to manipulate
the outcome of nominations using
the vulnerable in the society.

Samwel Wanjiru’s

protested over an inquest
started in Nyahururu without
their knowledge.
They argued that their
exclusion would deny the

In a letter to Nyahururu

man John Mwihia they had

the inquest would expose the

Mr Mwihia was shocked by
the start of the inquest, main-
taining that if family was not
involved, it would deny crucial
witnesses an opportunity to
testify and fully take part.
Three postmortem ex-
amination reports prepared
by government pathologist
Moses Njue, and family pa-
thologists Emily Rogena (for
Wanjiru’s mother) and Peter
Ndegwa (for Wanjiru’s wife)
have been produced but they
have different findings on the
cause of death.

Law Courts, Mr S. Munene,
confirmed the inquest had
started but sought more in-
formation on the High Court
order, saying they were will-
ing to abide by it once it was
brought to their attention.

the half marathon record by
more than 20 seconds.
The following year, he won
both the London Marathon
and the Chicago Marathon.
Yesterday, Mr Mwihia said
the family was eager to get to
the heart of the matter, adding
that they would not rest until
the truth was unearthed.
The case will be mentioned

MPs want to cripple

NGOs: Don’t let them
T
he mood and tone in Parliament yesterday
indicates that the House is determined
to ram through laws against the free and
independent media despite President Kenyatta’s
assurance that no unconstitutional Bills will get his
assent.
The Kenya Information and Communications
(Amendment) Bill has already won passage
in Parliament. All that is required now is the
President’s signature for the most oppressive anti-
media laws in Kenya’s history to come into effect.
The equally oppressive Media Council Bill is
in the House business pipeline and is still being
pushed through despite universal alarm and official
assurances that the government has no intention of
gagging the media.
And not content with silencing probably the
most vibrant and responsible media in the whole of
Africa, the authorities want to cripple another key
independent voice that over the past two decades
played a pivotal role in the fight for democracy,
human rights and good governance. The move to
amend the Public Benefits Organisations is a clear
attempt to neutralise NGOs.
The fight against the dictatorial one-party rule
in the early 1990s, onwards to the realisation of a
progressive new Constitution in 2010, succeeded in
no small measure due to the contribution of NGOs.

journalists’ sense of liberty.
Still, we in the media
agree that in terms of press
freedom, we have made a
great deal of progress.
Today, responsible
journalism has more or less
become a matter of “publish

just write what you want
and get away with it.
The framers of the Kenya
Communications Bill want
to throw us back to the
repressive past. We must

negotiated and doled out

liberty that applies to all
Kenyans.
This raging controversy
over press regulation is not
a battle between the State
and journalists. When we
journalists or even media
owners fight for press
freedom, it is not just
because we are trying to
protect our turf.
What the framers of
the contentious Bill are
trying to do is ultimately
an assault on the people of
Kenya. They want to deny
the ordinary citizens the
freedom to read, see, hear
and decide for themselves
whether what is reported in
the media is true.
When the Inspector-
General of Police, Mr David
Kimaiyo, issued summonses
to investigative journalists
to go to his office for
questioning, the intention
was to intimidate them.
People in authority seek
to control the media out
of a desire to control what
citizens think.
Mr Kimaiyo’s main beef
with the journalists was that
they made it possible for the
public to see first-hand the
shenanigans of KDF troops
at Nakumatt’s Westgate
store.
Yesterday, the Cabinet
secretary, Dr Matiang’i,
I don’t support this
idea of stitching up press
freedom behind closed
doors by unaccountable
committees.
Instead of leaving it to
this elitist closed shop, the
government should allow
more public discussion and
engagement on the whole
subject of press first.
We are currently at a
crossroads, going through a
new wave of illiberalism that
has swept through the body-
politic with unprecedented
ferocity.
Mr Kimaiyo’s attempt
to intimidate investigative
reporters was a poignant
sign of the illiberal times we
live in today.
It is not surprising that
the political elite plan to
introduce draconian laws to
curb the activities of non-
governmental organisations.
In the mining sector,
cries by investors over
the recently introduced
regulations which

conferences that seek to
showcase all that is rosy in
their counties. Which is all
very well because it promises
to create jobs for young people
and expand opportunities for
doing business among those
with capital and drive for
enterprise.
That many of these
conferences have been
successful cannot be gainsaid
since the officials often sign
multi-billion shilling contracts
mostly with foreign investors.
But the question that should
be debated next is whether
or not these initiatives
will succeed in the long
term especially if counties
fail to create a conducive
environment even for local
investors to do business.
In countries like Japan,
major industrial players thrive
at the end of a supply chain
fed largely by medium and
small-scale companies, which
manufacture specialised
goods, be they machine parts
or the food and fruits served
by the national carrier.
That is why counties
would do well to explore
ways in which they can make

industrial and service sectors
to thrive.

much more needs to be
done along the chain to
enhance value addition and
create opportunities for high
quality processing for local
consumption as well as for
export.
The danger to guard against
is a situation where a big
multinational player enters
a small regional market, but
finds that there are not enough
subcontractors who have the
money and the manpower to
play with the big boys.
And I think that is one of
the problems facing Turkana
County where Tullow Oil, a
major player in Africa’s oil and
gas sector, had to suspend
operations in the face of
protests sparked by demand
for jobs and supply contracts
among locals.
To avoid such situations,
counties should give small,
medium and even large
businesses and industries the
incentives to grow, especially
in this era when the national
government has pledged that
30 per cent of tenders will be
reserved for youth, women and
people with disabilities.
For such companies to
develop the systems they need
to compete favourably at the
national level, they must be
nurtured in their own counties.
As it is, there are too many
bottlenecks standing in the
way of these enterprises,
including but not limited to
harassment by county officials

with a fine-tooth comb in the
hope of finding something
amiss so that they can get

T
he term “tyranny of numbers” is
increasingly losing its innocence
as Kenyans witness reason being
sacrificed at the altar of emotions. The
electoral governance tools borrowed from
the West by Kenya and Africa have yielded
greater exclusion from the centre.
Political mobilisation along ethnic lines
has given way to “tyranny” by those in
power over the rest. It takes organised
groups, visibility and money for the centre
to respond to the periphery. That is why
the media must come out fighting against
this evil tyranny.
The media was accused of disastrous
coverage that partly fanned the 2007/08
post-election violence. In 2012/2013, the
media spearheaded prayers for peace, but
ignored calls to expose Kenyans to the
use of reason in electoral processes. The
result is that the country is split down
the middle between the #weareone and
#wearenotone hash-tags.
The contentious Media Bill seeks
to impose strict controls on radio and
TV broadcasts and huge fines against
journalists and media houses that violate
the government’s set code of conduct.
The opposition to the passage of this
draconian law arises from memories of
the Moi era when individual freedoms
were curtailed in the guise of protecting
national security.
The country’s 50th anniversary of

independence has presented great
challenges to the media. A keen observer
will recall the mind-control type of
reporting shortly after the March 4
elections and a similar pattern that was
repeated during the unfortunate incident
of the Westgate terror attack.
In both cases, Kenyans were subjected
to static images of electoral results
charts and of a street in Westlands in
Nairobi. It is despicable that Kenyan
MPs are keen to formalise these very
acts of disinformation that have been the
hallmark of the Jubilee Year.
In a world driven by reason, Kenya,
and by extension Africa, will realise they
need a free press to drive state unification,
authority and political equality.
A unified state protects individual
rights, but the converse is true in a
disunited and captured state. Where a
state plays its proper role to safeguard
its citizens, its authority drives political
equality.
The media has demonstrated that
organised groups can fend off onslaughts
from the tyranny of numbers. Individuals
should emulate the media and organise to
open Kenya up for all Kenyans.
A divided Kenya will have a difficult
time navigating the rough global seas
presented by competing interests from
the East and the West. Divisions will force
individuals to re-enact the lives of the
country’s ancestors who had to surrender
to outsiders in order to survive tyranny
from their own leaders.
The media should be in the frontline.
No group should be allowed to tyrannise
others. The country looks up to the
media to drive the voice of reason amidst
emotions and bigotry.
The publicly owned Kenya Broadcasting
Corporation should be subjected to
the independence enjoyed by other
public commissions so as to rely less on
advertisement revenue in exchange for
objective news coverage.
It is time to activate the spirit and law
of the Constitution to restore Kenya on
the path to freedom and prosperity.

KISUMU SHODDY. A recent arrival in Kisumu
where he has taken up a new job, D. Mokaya says that
he is disappointed over the uncovered manholes along
footpaths in the residential and commercial areas
and lack of streetlights. “Residents risk breaking their
legs on the road to the Aga Khan Hospital just next to
Kisumu Boys School. The streets are so poorly lit that
pedestrians could easily slip into the holes and injure
themselves. Please fix them; cover the manholes.
WHERE’S SECURITY? Keen to see security
beefed up in towns, especially, Nairobi, is Sue McPhee.
In recent days, she says, there has been a general
increase in insecurity in the capital that calls for urgent
action. She is, therefore, unhappy that as insecurity
mounts, she has not seen a commensurate increase
in police patrols or the general visibility of officers to
give the public an assurance on safety. Karen Hardy
and Karen Shopping Centre, she adds, could do with
some enhanced security measures.

Bribery of the road
as casual as greetings
Road carnage is not going to re-
duce any time soon if what I experi-
enced on Monday on Gitanga Road
is anything to go by. At a few min-
utes to 11pm, I boarded a bus from
Yaya Centre.
A few metres to Braeburn School
we encountered a road block with
two traffic officers, a man and
woman. I am a frequent user of this
route, and the faces of these officers
are familiar to me.
The bus stopped, the conductor
alighted to talk to one officer as the
other asked the driver about the
cracked windscreen. “We’ll look into
that,” the driver said, and the police
woman signalled the driver to move.
The conductor told me; “Sh100
is already gone.” He tells me it is
routine.
Every day PSVs operating on Gi-
tanga Road part with Sh100.
“There is nothing we can do, so we
just have to give them to avoid facing
the law,” the conductor tells me.
For how long will they continue
doing that? More than 2,000 people
have been killed so far as a result of
road carnage since the year started.
The number continues to increase in
what has mainly been blamed on cor-
rupt traffic police officers. Will Ken-
yans continue dying just because a
traffic officer was bribed with Sh100?

Five factors likely to
derail devolution
Following are the five basic rea-
sons devolution may fail in Kenya.
First, the ongoing standoff be-
tween the members of County As-
semblies (MCA) and the Salaries
and Remuneration Commission has
brought business to a standstill in
the counties.
Secondly, there is no harmony
between the Executive arm and the
Legislative arm of the counties.
There is a lot of suspicion and poor
working relationships due to mis-
trust.
Thirdly, most governors are know-
it-alls who start projects with little or
no consultation with the MCAs.
Fourthly, most county assemblies
are one party — the “Ayes assem-
blies”. Everything that comes from
the Executive passes.
Fifthly, most governors and MCAs
didn’t have a manifesto, so Kenyans
will have to wait for some time to see
results.

be trusted, Nairobi is becoming
one huge refuse dump.
One of the latest complaints went:
“Nairobi is becoming increasingly

hawkers responsible for the menace?
Can the county government act before

While the reader singled out hawk-

greatest challenge Governor Evans
Kidero faces in managing the city.
According to Mathieu Mérino in
an article titled ‘Management of
garbage in Nairobi: Perspectives of
restructuring public action’, in the
book: Nairobi Today: The Paradox of
a Fragmented City; public services,
particularly management of garbage,
benefited from major investments by
the colonial authorities from the be-
ginning of the 20th Century.
“By 1910, the town authorities were

collection and disposal of garbage,”
writes Mérino, adding, “waste man-
agement worked relatively well until
the mid-1970s.”
Today, a combination of factors, in-
cluding an apparently overwhelmed
county government and Nairobians’
peculiar habits of relieving themselves
on pedestrian overpasses, has ensured
that footbridges that were meant to
minimise road accidents are rarely
used.
And what seemed like public health
crisis has morphed into a security
issue following the recent Dandora
dumpsite gang shootings.

D
emolitions at Mutindwa mar-
ket in Umoja Estate, Nairobi,
started yesterday following
last week’s directive by Transport
Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau
to curb accidents.
Mr Kamau ordered the demolition
of temporary structures built 15 to 30
metres from the railway line.
This would enable motorists cross-
ing the railway line to see oncoming
locomotives and avoid accidents like
the one that happened last week.
Thirteen people were killed when
a train rammed a matatu as it passed
the railway line. Twenty one others
were injured.
Traders operating along the rail-
way line complained that they had
not been given adequate notice by
the Kenya Railways.
“There had been rumours that our
stalls would be pulled down last Fri-
day or in January. They should have
given us more time to remove our
goods,” said Mr Francis Kimaru, a
tomato seller.

In battle field tourism, visitors

In Kenya, the sites are in Taita-

DEVOLUTION | Process ‘haphazard’ NAIROBI

County reps vow to stay at home in pay row

BY NATION REPORTER
County assembly representatives yester-
day refused to go back to work and accused
the salaries team of dishonesty.
They said after meeting the Senate
Committee on Devolution that the Sala-
ries and Remuneration Commission (SRC)
has been using two versions of the same
report to try and reinforce its argument
that the county representatives should
be re-evaluated. They claimed one of
the documents is labelled “Final Report”
yet it is has an earlier date than another
labelled “draft”.
The county reps accuse the SRC of pre-
senting the “draft” to the Senate team on
Monday.
Yesterday, the County Representatives
Forum (CRF) told the committee led by
Elgeyo-Markwet Senator Kipchumba
Murkomen that they no longer trusted
the SRC to evaluate their jobs.
“County assemblies do not have confi-
dence in the commission and PwC doing a
proper job,” CRF chairman and Tana River
County Speaker Nuhu Abdi said.
PwC is an audit firm contracted by the
SRC to evaluate the jobs for elective posi-
tions created in the 2010 Constitution. The
firm submitted its report on March 11, but
county leaders claim the SRC didn’t use
it in the determination of salaries.

rebels said today they were
laying down their arms after
a crushing assault by the UN-backed
army pushed them out of the country’s
mineral-rich troubled east.
The M23 movement said in a state-

to pursue its goals “through purely
political means.”
The move ends the insurgency that
for 18 months has wracked the region
rich in natural resources and the scene
of some of Africa’s deadliest conflicts
over the past two centuries.
Earlier, Kinshasa claimed “total vic-
tory” over the M23 after capturing the
last two hills held by the movement’s
die-hard fighters.
“The last remnants of the M23
have just abandoned their positions,”
said Mr Lambert Mende, communi-
cations minister and government
spokesman.
“It’s a total victory for the DRC,” he
said, adding that the holdout insur-
gents fled to neighbouring Rwanda.
“We have finished the job,” said
Lieutenant Colonel Olivier Amuli, an
army spokesman in the North Kivu
region that was the scene of the fight-
ing. The Congolese army launched
a major offensive against the rebels
on October 25, steadily claiming their
strongholds until dozens of fighters
were this weekend pushed onto three
hilltops about 80 kilometres north of

Journalists
get bail after
apologising
BY KEMO CHAM
NATION Correspondent
FREETOWN, Tuesday
Two journalists jailed for
insulting Sierra Leone`s President
were granted bail yesterday but
had to spend the night in prison
for failing to meet their bail
conditions.
The High Court order for their
release came after they issued
a public apology in line with
President Ernest Bai Koroma`s
demand.
Through his lawyer, the
President has accused the
journalists, Jonathan Leigh and
Bai Bai Sisay of the Independent
Observer newspaper, of libeling
against him in an article they
published on October 17.
Titled ‘Who is molesting who:
Ernest or Sam Sumana,’ the
article was addressing a feud
between the President and his
vice and it accused Mr Koroma
of being a dictator and compared
him to a rat.
The journalists were arrested
on October 18, charged with 26
counts for criminal defamation
and denied bail by a magistrate
court last week.
On Monday they were brought
before high court in Freetown
which granted them a five hundred
million leones (US$115,000)
bail.
But the conditions attached
were so stiff that they could not
immediately meet them and so
were driven back to prison.
Mr Leigh and his editor had until
now refused to apologize with their
legal representative arguing they
had broken no law given their right
to the constitutionally guaranteed
freedom of expression.
Their arrest sparked a chain
of action that saw about a dozen
other journalists and publishers
invited for questioning.

New York votes for new mayor after Bloomberg
NEW YORK CITY, Tuesday
Millions of New Yorkers
went to the polls today to
elect a new mayor, with
left-wing progressive Bill de
Blasio tipped for a landslide
victory to replace billionaire
Michael Bloomberg.
The 52-year-old public ad-
vocate and his black formerly
lesbian wife promise a new
style to a city transformed by
12 years of tough love under
Bloomberg, who is not stand-
ing again.
De Blasio’s campaign has
left Republican rival Joe
Lhota trailing in the dust,
picking up on the worries of
the economically vulnerable
middle class and tapping into
a once reliably Democratic
electorate.
An NBC-Wall Street Journal
poll on Monday gave him an
historic 41-point lead over Mr
Lhota, putting him on course
to be the first Democrat
elected mayor of the biggest
US city since 1989.
But, with turnout typically
weak for mayoral elections,
de Blasio used the final day
of campaigning to urge sup-
porters to make good on
their promises and to go out

DHAKA, Tuesday
A
Bangladeshi court sen-
tenced more than 150
soldiers to death and
jailed hundreds more today,
following a mass trial over a
2009 mutiny in which scores of
top officers were massacred.
Some 823 soldiers plus 23
civilians appeared in a special
court charged with murder,
torture and other offences
over the mutiny, in which 74
people were shot, hacked to
death or burnt alive before
their bodies were dumped in
sewers or shallow graves.
A judge passed the death
penalty on 152 of the soldiers,
who looted weapons and led
the killing spree partly in anger
that their longstanding pleas
for better pay and treatment
were ignored.
Another 161 soldiers plus
some civilians were sentenced
to life in prison while 262 de-
fendants were jailed for up to
10 years, over the uprising that
started at the Bangladesh Ri-
fles (BDR) headquarters in
Dhaka and spread to other
BDR bases.
“The atrocities were so hei-
nous that even the dead bodies
were not given their rights,”
Judge Mohammad Akhtaruz-
zaman told the packed court

long-awaited verdicts.

after earlier being found guilty

S
trong growth in data and mo-
bile money services in the six
months through September
propelled Safaricom to the best
half-year performance since listing
at the Nairobi bourse in 2008.
The company’s net profits for the
period increased by almost a half to
Sh11.3 billion, up from the Sh7.77 bil-
lion reported during a similar period
last year.
Yesterday, chief executive Bob Col-
lymore said the company had solid
growth all round with non-voice
services being key contributors.
“Non-voice service revenue
streams continue to deliver solid
growth having increased by 30 per
cent,” Mr Collymore told investors
in Nairobi.
Growing customer base
Total revenues went up by 17 per
cent to Sh69.2 billion, with voice,
the firm’s biggest revenue stream,
contributing about 61 per cent from
20.8 million customers.
SMS (Short Messaging Services)
had the highest growth of any single
revenue stream at 48.7 per cent to
Sh6.35 billion. Growth was stimulated
by promotions such as the recently
concluded Bonyeza Ushinde na Sa-
faricom.
Earnings from data, on the other
hand, grew at 37.4 per cent to Sh5.7
billion, triggered by an increase in
customers from 5.59 million the previ-
ous period to 8.48 million.
However, the average revenue per
user in mobile data fell by 5.18.
Firm stopped from using similar packaging to Mumias Sugar’s
BY NATION CORRESPONDDENT
A court has stopped a firm from
using packaging materials similar to
those of Mumias Sugar Company.
Justice Eric Ogola issued the tempo-
rary injunction stopping Option Two
Ltd from packaging, supplying, dis-
tributing, selling or offering for sale,
sugar under the packets similar to
those of Mumias Sugar until the
Safaricom chief executive Bob Collymore (left) and chief financial officer John
Tombleson during the announcement of the half-year results for 2013/2014 at
Safaricom House in Nairobi yesterday.
“We gained 2.9 million customers
in the data segment but they have
not yet grown to match the spending
of earlier adopters,” Safaricom chief
financial officer John Tombleson
said.
In the wake of dwindling revenues
from the traditional voice revenues,
the firm has earmarked data and
mobile money as its future drivers
of growth.
Saving and credit
In the period under review, M-
Pesa, the firm’s mobile money
service, which was started in 2007,
remained key contributing 18 per cent
of total revenue.
The service generated Sh12.5 billion
due to a 19 per cent increase in active
M-Pesa customers from 9.7 million

The judge also allowed Mumias
Sugar to search Option Two Ltd
premises in Nairobi, Naivasha, Na-
kuru, Thika, Nyeri and Meru to seize
packaging materials for use as exhibits
in the case.

tive users, with Sh1.7 billion deposits
and Sh700 million lent out.
“We also launched the Lipa na M-

merchant payments and facilitates
trade between businesses and their
customers,” Mr Collymore said.
“We are well on course in our
strategy to deepen financial inclu-
sion and embed the service as an

Kenya seized the opening of

in the UK to reassure tourists
that the country is a safe desti-

Secretary Phylis Kandie told
travellers that Kenya remains a

Westgate attacks by terrorists.
“We are here to now reaffirm our

Option Two has been duping the pub-
lic by distributing imported sugar with
similar labels as Mumias Sugar and
in the process causing them to lose

According to the company, the syn-

A stalemate between the

Kenya Petroleum Refineries
Ltd has stalled the proposed
upgrade of the facility.
The harmonised low sul-

passed by the East African
Community Council of Min-
isters in June 2013.
Regional countries are
required to implement com-
pulsory consumption of up

content in diesel and petrol
respectively.
Companies have a social
and moral obligation to

The standoff has made it
impossible to procure crude,
leaving oil marketing com-

While Essar has announced
a planned exit from KPRL,
the company is yet to be
dissolved.
The United Nations En-
vironment Programme has
blamed sulphur found in

black carbon.
JEFF ANGOTE | NATION
A ‘mkokoteni’ (handcart) pusher ferries household items
on Juja Road, Nairobi yesterday. Such traders cash in on
end month when many residents of Nairobi relocate to
different estates.
East and North Africa continue to
pose risks to the macroeconomic
outlook.
“The recession in the Eurozone
has slowed down export earnings
from tourism while the temporary
partial shutdown of the US gov-
ernment in October could affect
diaspora remittances from North
America in the short term,” Prof
Ndung’u said.
“These developments, coupled
with the volatile international oil
prices remain a threat to price
stability.”
In its meeting in September, the
MPC set the CBK rate at 8.5 per
cent. The overall rate of inflation,
the strength of the exchange rate
and the current account deficit are
the main indicators the policy com-
mittee uses in setting the indicative
lending rate.

ANALYTICAL STUDY OF GREEN GROWTH SECTOR AND ITS
POTENTIAL FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN KENYA
Background
The green economy in Kenya is seen as having great potential in ensuring economic growth in the long run and as
stated in a scoping study carried out by the Kenya Institute for Public Research and Analysis (KIPRA 2012) Kenya
should take advantage of the opportunities that arise from green growth and effectively address challenges and
barriers. A green economy approach would allow for ensuring the sustainable consumption of natural resources,
energy efficiency, whilst sustaining economic growth and development.

The key sectors of the green economy in which Kenya has begun and continues its efforts are renewable energy;
promotion of sustainable production and consumption; pollution control and waste management; sustainable
production and consumption; environmental planning and governance; and the restoration of forest ecosystems.
In the Kenyan context green economy should be understood as economic activities and processes that are
equitable and inclusive, but do not compromise environmental sustainability.

In the Kenyan context green economy should be understood as economic activities and processes that are
equitable and inclusive, but do not compromise environmental sustainability. It is important to note that the draft
MTP II of the Government of Kenya brings forth that the growth strategy of the country embraces measures to
ensure a greener economy and that the economy is put on a low carbon trajectory. Furthermore, the African
Development Bank (AfDB) in cooperation with UNEP, UNDP, WWF and ILO are supporting the Government in
preparing a Green Economy Strategy and Implementation Plan that should be completed by the end of 2013.

Given the potential for the green economy to boost economic growth and create employment and sustainable
livelihoods in Kenya, it is essential that all relevant stakeholders understand the policy and legal environment
and whether it takes into account the challenges and special considerations needed to ensure that both potential
and current women entrepreneurs are fully participating within the green economy. Additionally, it is important
to understand the current businesses that women are operating in within the green economy and whether these
activities have potential for scaling up and what particular challenges they face.

Objective
The main objective of this analytical study is to assess the potential for women entrepreneurs in the green growth
sector in Kenya to inform the development of appropriate programs and strategies supporting and fostering
women entrepreneurs in the sector.

Application Procedure
Interested and qualified candidates should submit their applications which should include the following:
1. UNDP Personal History Form (P11) Template provided
2. Detailed Curriculum Vitae
3. Proposal for implementing the assignment - Template provided

Please quote the following references on the subject line depending on the post you are applying for:-
1. Lead Consultant – Analytical Study of Green Growth Sector
2. Gender Consultant – Analytical Study of Green Growth Sector

Applications should be emailed to consultants.ken@undp.org to reach us not later than Monday, 18

November 2013 at 2.00 P.M Kenya Time.

Getting an effective recommendation
Never underestimate the power of a recommendation letter. It can
be very useful in tilting the last scales of a tight job race in your
favour. Which is why you do not want to present a letter that is
not convincing. How, then, do you go about getting that effective
recommendation letter, and not end up with a lukewarm one?
The first step is to start early in seeking a recommendation. Don’t
wait until the last minute, which then does not allow enough time for
a well-thought out content. Secondly, get someone who knows you
well. There is usually the tendency of people running to the highest
authority in their organisations for a recommendation, even in
situations in which they have had very little contact with the person.
You are likely to end up with a template recommendation that goes
to everybody asking for one from the same office.
Selection panels usually look out for those elements in your
recommendation letter that confirm the writer’s familiarity with your
work. It is a way of determining its credibility. Give the person writing
the letter as much information as possible about the requirements
of the job you are pursuing, for them to make a sound connection
and tune the letter to the circumstances as best as possible.
Generalised recommendations are not effective. Those that are
specific to your abilities as per the job requirements are.
Don’t forget what the employer wants
Many times when we are job searching, we spend all our energies
looking for the job that will satisfy our needs and accord us the
status we yearn for. We focus attention more on personal income,
benefits, location, title, responsibilities, industry and so on. While
it is necessary to have those considerations, we sometimes get
overexcited and forget that employers too, have standards they are
looking out for. You need to focus on those too.
Employers look out for your ability to do the job. They want to
know also if you have initiative. They are keen too, to confirm
your ability to grow on the job, and this is frequently measured by
your demonstration of diligence and ability to do more than you
are employed for when the need arises. Employers assess your
confidence levels, ascertain your leadership abilities, check your
attitude, and weigh your compatibility with the job environment.
Your attitude also matters, and so are your social skills, integrity and
communication proficiency.

Mum, it is exactly one year since you went to be with
the Lord. The pain and memories are still so fresh it
feels like yesterday.

God took you away, we thank Him for the years we
shared with you. Cherished memories of you will
never fade for you will forever remain in our thoughts
and hearts.

1st Anniversary
George, Hours have turned to days, days into
months and today one year has passed.
A lot has changed in our lives, but in every move
we make in this game called life, your hand is
ever visible.
In your absence we have learnt that when a loved
one becomes a memory, that memory becomes a
wonderful treasure to always hold in our hearts.
You are that treasure.
Dearly missed by family, friends and relatives.

RUGBY | KRU unveils new technical bench, with first task being top 10 finish in the current season
We followed our

says coach Treu
Ex-Sprinboks tactician
opted not to extend his
contract with SA to take
up Kenya Sevens role
BY AYUMBA AYODI
@AyumbaAyodi

K
enya Sevens head coach, Paul
Treu, and his technical team
from South Africa had an op-
tion of extending their contracts with
South Africa Sevens, but opted to take
up the national team role.
“We had other offers and an op-
tion of staying in South Africa but
it’s amazing the magical spark that
made us choose Kenya,” Treu said
during his unveiling by the Kenya
Rugby Union yesterday.
“There is something unique and
special about Kenya, the players, the
country and its people. We just had
to follow our hearts to come here,”
said Treu on his decision to take over
a Kenyan team that is not yet fully
professional.
KRU chairman, Mwangi Muthee,
said Treu is a winner who led South
Africa to the overall title in the 2008/
2009 HSBC Sevens World Series.
Technical team
Treu was unveiled alongside at-
tack coach Vuyo Zangqa as well as
the strength and conditioning coach
Graham Bentz, all from South Africa.
Also unveiled by KRU was Treu’s dep-
uty, Felix ‘Toti’ Ochieng, Mike Owino
(strength and conditioning), Geoffrey
Kimani (speed and flexibility coach),
Lameck Bogonko (team physio) and

Steve Sewe (team manager).
Treu said it was a difficult deci-
sion choosing to switch from a fully
professional South African team to a
semi-professional Kenya, but said the
unity and family values in the Kenya
Sevens team will work for him just
like in South Africa.
“Success is team effort. I am sure
the experts I have come along with
are happy to be part of the system
that will transform Kenya Sevens
further,” said Treu.
Treu said he is determined to leave
a legacy, not only in Kenya, but also
in Africa as a whole just as he has
done with South Africa Sevens for
the last nine years.
Desire for success
“The bigger the challenge the big-
ger the reward,” Treu explained. “I
have talked to Kenyan Sevens players
and I have told them self belief and
confidence will see them continue to
conquer.”
Treu said he would establish a
system that his team will work on to
ensure Kenya Sevens has full time
players. “We will not only focus on
men but also women. I want to work
with anybody in Kenya who wants to
learn rugby,” said Treu.
Treu said their first match against
South Africa will provide a tough test
emotionally. “That is something we
won’t avoid, lining up in the tunnel
but on the opposite side. But we are
professionals and we’ll adjust,” he
explained.
On his first assignment at Dubai
Sevens later this month, Treu said:
“We are going to take it a game at a
time, but a key target this season is
a top ten finish at the end.”
Vuyo said he was excited to con-
tinue his coaching career with a
quality outfit like Kenya. “Kenya has
amazing players. I decided to team up
with my mentor Treu and I’m ready
for the new challenge,” said Vuyo, who
played at Safari Sevens in 2006 and
returned as a manager in 2009.
Bentz said he was amazed by the
energy and motivation in the team
during his first session with the
squad. “The players I met for the
first time last night have got what it
takes to win. That is what we want
to bring out. The best from them,”
said Bentz.

Olivier takes

manager role
BY RICHARD MWANGI
@rmwangi24
rmwangi@ke.nationmedia.com
Cricket Kenya has appointed
South African-born, Kobus Olivier,
as the association’s general man-
ager, replacing Barbra Kokonya
who left for greener pastures four
months ago.
Olivier (above) arrived in the
country from South Africa on
Thursday and yesterday visited
the Aga Khan Sports Club where
the national team was training
ahead of their Twenty20 World
Cup qualifiers set for United Arab
Emirates from November 15 to 30.
The team is set to leave for UAE
on Sunday.
Long term plans
Olivier said that he was happy
with the manner he was received by
Cricket Kenya and he expects to be
in the country for a long time.
Commenting on his working ex-
perience, he said: “Before I came
here, I was head of cricket in the
University of Cape Town.”
He added: “I have spent most
of my life in cricket. I played club
cricket in England and Scotland
for several years.
“I also worked as national

forward to seeing a robust develop-
ment programme in the country.
As for the players, assistant team
coach, Lameck Onyango, said they
had no injuries in the team. He
said that Kenya’s opening batsman,
Alex Obanda, who was left behind
when the team toured Sri Lanka
is now well.
Team captain, Collins Obuya,
said the team’s visit to Sri Lanka
was very beneficial to them because
the playing conditions in the coun-
try are similar to the ones found in
the United Arab Emirates.

dkwalimwai@ke.nationmedia.com
Big guns General Service Unit
(GSU) and Kenya Pipeline were
crowned winners of this year’s
edition of Kenya Volleyball Federa-
tion Challenge Cup that ended at
Changamwe grounds in Mombasa
at the weekend.
GSU retained the trophy following
3-1 (25-27, 29-27, 26-24, 25-23) win
over traditional rivals Kenya Prisons
in a four-set thriller that lasted one
and a half hours.
In women’s final, Pipeline main-
tained their dominance over Kenya
Prisons on the local scene, winning
their five-set encounter 25-23, 23-25,
18-25, 25-14 and 15-10) to clinch the
trophy in the tournament sponsored
by Aphia Plus.
Prisons beat KPA
Prisons men qualified for the final
after beating hosts Kenya Ports
Authority 3-2 (25-21, 25-23, 23-25,
24-26, 15-5) in a semi-final encounter
that attracted a huge crowd.
In the other semi-final, GSU beat
Kenya Defence Force 3-0 (25-17, 26-
24, 25-21) to set up an enticing final
date with rivals Prisons.
In the women’s semis, Pipeline
beat Kenya Commercial Bank 3-0

Red-hot Nadal
eyes top spot
London
Rafael Nadal is on the verge of
finishing the year as the world
number one after opening his ATP
World Tour Finals campaign with
a 6-3, 6-2 win over David Ferrer
yesterday.
Nadal arrived at London’s O2
Arena still smarting from a surprise
loss against fellow-Spaniard Ferrer
in the semi-finals of the Paris Mas-
ters on Saturday, but he was quick to
avenge that defeat with an emphatic
victory in 74 minutes.
The win means the 27-year-old will
be guaranteed to end 2013 top of
the world rankings, ahead of Novak
Djokovic, if he beats either Tomas
Berdych or Stanislas Wawrinka in his
remaining Group A fixtures at the
prestigious season-ending event.
It will be the third time Nadal has
finished a year as number one, but
the first since 2010.
“They are never easy games
against David Ferrer, the number
three in the world. He is great and
having an amazing career,” Nadal
said. (AFP)

Fifa brokers
deal to heal
Cyprus rift
Geneva
FIFA announced yesterday that
it had brokered a landmark deal
between the Cyprus Football As-
sociation and its opposite number
which runs the game in the breakaway
Turkish Cypriot north.
World football’s governing body
said the accord marked a “major
milestone” in the history of football
in Cyprus, a country which has been
split in two for four decades.
Cyprus President Nicos Anasta-
siades voiced “deep satisfaction”
with the “positive and encouraging
development”.
Deal signed in Zurich
The deal, signed at FIFA’s base in
the Swiss city of Zurich, was inked by
Cyprus Football Association (CFA)
president Costakis Koutsokoumnis
and Hasan Sertoglu, head of the
Cyprus Turkish Football Associa-
tion (CTFA).
“Both the Cyprus Football Associa-
tion and the Cyprus Turkish Football
Association are today providing the
whole world with an excellent exam-
ple of how football can build bridges
and bring people together after a long
period of conflict,” FIFA president
Sepp Blatter, who also signed the
accord along with his counterpart
from European football’s governing
body, Michel Platini, said.
Cyprus has been divided since
1974, when Turkish troops occupied
the northern third of the island in re-

Dortmund pulled off an

Klopp’s side are now looking to
complete the double over Arsene

Arsenal warmed up for
the trip to Germany with an

HAVE YOUR SAY
I will not give my
hard-earned money
to beggars
BY MERCY KAMBURA MATE
mercymwamba@yahoo.com
D
o you give money to beggars when you
meet them? How do you decide whom to give
and whom to ignore? I have reached a point
where I keep thinking the judgment on yours
truly will be harsh when she gets to heaven,
since I am slowly neglecting the giving alms
bit that the Bible encourages.
Before you call me heartless and mean, I was
not always like this. I seldom passed a beggar
anywhere. I always made sure I gave some-
thing, however little, to the frail, outstretched
arm. The hungry eyes staring at me made my
generous hand to dig deeper into my handbag
and fish out something that would help. Any-
thing. I even once gave some magazines I was
helping publish to a beggar to sell and make
some money. Well, that changed.
There is this beggar in town. You must have
seen him since from his dressing, he is as con-
spicuous as an elephant. He is always clean
and smartly dressed, almost giving the term
spick-and-span its true meaning. He kneels
on Tom Mboya Street opposite Imenti House
begging. He is the reason I stopped giving
money to beggars — all except one old, blind
man on Turkana Lane. Yes people, there is a
Turkana Lane in Nairobi.
So one day, I spot him for the first time as
I walk down Tom Mboya Street and decide to
do something my mother would smile about.
I ask him if I could take him for lunch. He
was glad! And so he gets his wheelchair from
somewhere behind the shops and we head to a
popular joint on Tom Mboya Street.

pain, In Kenyan culture, as is in many others
vomiting, around the world, food also has an important
social function. Most gatherings of friends
and and family involve sharing a meal, whether

so important that in some cultures, people

more than happens and what was meant to nourish
the body and bring enjoyment can make
a week, us ill and cause us great inconvenience and
depending discomfort.
A friend of mine related to me an incident
on severity where what began as an evening of fun at a
restaurant ended with her being bed-ridden
and hospitalised for several days.
That day, she had gone to a restaurant to
have dinner with friends and family. The next
day, however, she woke up with abdominal
pain and a running stomach and had to call in
sick. She spent the day shuttling between her
bed and the toilet. As the day progressed, she
felt much worse and decided to go to hospital,
health
where she was admitted with a severe case of
food poisoning. Fortunately for her, she was
discharged a few days later after being suc-
cessfully treated.
Many people can relate to the experience
of eating something that made them sick,
whether at home, in a restaurant, or even a
friend’s home.
Causes
Food poisoning occurs when you consume
contaminated food or drink.
Some cases are caused by infectious agents
while others involve non-infectious agents.
Some common infectious agents include E.
coli, salmonella, and campylobacter species.
Food poisoning is characterised by gastro-
enteritis.
Gastroenteritis is a term used to refer to in-
flammation of the stomach and intestines. In
the case of food poisoning, this inflammatory
response occurs when contaminated food is
introduced into the digestive system. The
body is made with an inbuilt defence system
that recognises the threat and sets in motion
a response to eliminate it.
The symptoms include abdominal pain,
vomiting, and diarrhoea. It may last for a day
or more than a week, depending on the type
of contaminant and the level of severity.
In cases where people eat the same food,
the symptoms may be experienced by more
than one person or it may occur as an isolated
incident.
In mild cases, the symptoms usually re-
solve on their own.
Treatment
Managing the illness involves replacement
of the fluids and electrolytes lost. These can
either be given orally or can be administered
intravenously, depending on the severity of
the illness.
Where necessary, a course of antibiotics can
be prescribed by your health care provider.
In more serious cases where vomiting and
diarrhoea do not resolve on their own, then
your doctor may recommend medicine to
control the vomiting and diarrhoea.
The best approach, however, is to prevent
food contamination.
Prevention
Food can become contaminated in vari-
ous ways, including during preparation and
storage.

Some of the steps you can take to avoid
food poisoning include washing your hands.
Do not just use water, use soap and water to
clean up after visiting the toilet, changing a
baby’s diaper/nappy, and before eating. You
may also use hand sanitisers, especially
where there is no water.
In addition to hand washing, those han-
dling food should ensure that they keep food
contamination at bay through maintaining
high standards of kitchen hygiene and use of
proper food storage practices.
Foods eaten raw such as fruits and veg-
etables should be thoroughly washed before
consumption. Also take precautions to ensure
that the water you drink is safe.
Animal products such as poultry should
be cooked thoroughly. Also avoid taking raw
eggs since they are often associated with sal-
monella infections.

Esther Mungai and her children
survived the violence that
followed the 2007 general
election. Find out how they are
gradually rebuilding their lives
MAUREEN KAKAH
@mollykakah
Mkakah@ke.nationmedia.com
L ike millions of Kenyans all
over the country, Esther Mun-
gai was watching television in
her house in Kakamega town in
Western Province, expectantly
waiting for the results of the 2007
General Election.
It was about 9 a.m. and she was
with two of her three children,
George Thuo and Faith Wanjiru,
then 20 and nine years respec-
tively. Their house help, who had
worked for them for four years,
had just returned from the shop
when they heard people shouting,
“Sifa Kwa Yesu! Pack and go!”
Esther, a high school teacher,
was also a business woman and
owned two matatus christened
Sifa Kwa Yesu (Glory to Jesus).
The voices were frighteningly
close and she knew that if she
and her family did not leave
immediately, they would all die.
That dark day was December
29, 2007.
Before she could act, George,
her second born, said, “Mum you
will not die.”
He then shepherded them out
of the house and helped her and
Faith scale the perimeter wall.
All they had were the clothes
they were wearing. When Esther
and her husband built the fam-
ily home, they had fortified the
wall with broken pieces of glass
to deter thieves. By the time she
dropped to safety on the other
side, Esther had unsightly cuts
on her face, deep bruises on her
elbows and chest, and had lost all
her finger and toe nails.
She says it was total chaos
outside and in the confusion, she
was separated from her children
and house help. For two weeks,
Esther had no idea where her
children were or even whether
they were alive.
“Those were the longest two
weeks of my life. It is amazing
that I did not die of worry,” she
says.
The new home that Esther is building.
Esther says police rescued her
and took her to the Kakamega
General Hospital, where she was
admitted for nearly a month.
“I was mentally confused and
fearful. I was so traumatised,
I imagined that the dedicated
doctors and nurses treating me
would poison me,” she says.
She would later learn that her
three-bedroom house was ran-
sacked before it was set ablaze.
Also burnt to the ground were
her two matatus as well as the
family car, which had been in the
compound.
The rental houses that she had
put up in an adjacent compound
were also set ablaze, although
the mob allowed the tenants to
salvage their belongings before
setting the buildings on fire.
Just like that, a fortune that
had taken 20 years to build was
reduced to ashes.
Esther and her husband,
Stanley Mungai, who died in
2001, had lived in Kakamega
since the 1980s and in their home

for 16 years. She says besides
her rural home in Nyeri, she
knew no other home and, being
a teacher (she taught chemistry
at Kakamega High School),
she was known to many of her
neighbours. Never in her wild-
est dreams, therefore, could she
have imagined that people she
probably knew and interacted
with would destroy her home
and everything she had worked
so hard for.
“It hurt beyond words.”
For some time, Kakamega
police station became her home
as she prayed for the senseless
killings and destruction to come
to an end.
“We could only wait and hope
since there was nothing we could
do. There is nothing worse than
helplessness,” she says.
In spite of the desolate circum-
stances, the strong and positive
character that she is, Esther
made it her business to encour-
age others who had lost their
homes, assuring them that all
was not lost.
“They thought I was mad,” she
laughs.
It was not until February the
following year that Esther and
her children were finally able to
travel to Nyeri, the only place
they could seek refuge. Thank-
fully, her house help had found
her way back to her Busia home.
Unknown to Esther, her
mother had been told that she
and the children had not sur-
vived the violence, news that
affected her so much that she
fell ill.
“Even though she was relieved
to find out that we were alive,
she did not regain her health and
eventually died in January 2009,”
says Esther.
Her first born, Charles Mun-
gai, who was studying medicine
in the US when the chaos broke
out, took a break from his stud-
ies and travelled back home to be
with his family.
Since there was no home to
go back to, Esther transferred
Faith to a school in Nyeri while
George, who had just completed
secondary school, went to live
with friends.
This fragmentation of her
family disturbed Esther, but it
was the best she could do at that
time. Meanwhile, she sought a
transfer from the Teachers Serv-
ice Commission, determined
to start her life afresh. She was
posted to Nkurumeinya Second-
ary School in Ongata Rongai in
March 2008.
New life
She says that starting over was
not easy, not only because she
was in a new environment, but
because she did not have a place
to stay. There was also the fact
that, try as she might, she was
unable to put the trauma she
had suffered behind her. While
she could afford to push it to
the back of her mind during the
day, her sleepless nights were
a torture and she wondered if
she would manage to rebuild
her life.
At her lowest point, a friend
who knew about her loss invited
her to live in her disused house
in Rongai until she got back on
her feet.
“I could hardly believe it. I will
always be grateful to this friend
for offering me a place to live for
more than a year,” says Esther.
She adds, “When you are help-
less, when you have reached a
dead end, there is often someone
cover
who is willing to help you and
ease your pain. My experience
taught me never to take friend-
ship for granted.”
Angels in disguise
Besides this good friend who
came to her aid in her time of
need, Esther, who was then
the vice-chairperson of the
Kakamega branch of the Kenya
Red Cross Society, is grateful
to the organisation’s secretary
general, Abbas Gullet, who sent
her a cheque when he learnt of
her misfortune, as well as the
principal at her new school, Jer-
emiah Mwangi, who has been
understanding and even allowed
her time off to recover before
reporting to work.
Besides teaching, Esther is
also a multi-level marketer, a job
she does in her free time and dur-
ing interaction with others. It is
one she especially recommends
for young people and those in
school or looking for a job.
“Don’t wait to get employed.
You have the advantage of be-
ing energetic and in good health.
Don’t just sit and do nothing,
work,” she says.
Esther’s second born, George,
is now at the University of Nai-
robi while Faith just joined Meru
University of Science and Tech-
nology.
Things are, indeed, looking up
for Esther, who is even building
a new home.
“I had vowed that I would
never build a house again, con-
vinced that I would not be strong
enough to deal with it should
someone burn down my home a
second time, but I realised that
I cannot afford to live in fear. I
realised that it is important for
me to deal with what happened

and move on,” she says, adding
that her mother, before she died,
encouraged her to build a new
home.
Though it has taken time,
Esther has finally come to terms
with her loss and even forgiven
those who destroyed everything
she had.
“Yes, I lost everything, but I
stopped asking why it happened.
What matters is that with God’s
strength and the love of true
friends, I have managed to pick
myself up and make a new life
for myself.”
She adds, “I thought I had
it all figured out, that I had my
life and my children’s future all
mapped out, but I realise that
sometimes God has other plans
for us and that He will give us
the grace to accept them. Out of
all this, forgiveness was my big
lesson,” she says.
Esther believes that God has
much more in store for her than
what she lost, and because of
this, she will give this chapter of
her life the best shot.
She has advice for you: “Don’t
waste your energy fighting for
what is lost, focus on the present.
Make use of what you have, learn
new skills, and change to adapt
to your new environment.”

WE DO OUR BEST TO KEEP OUR CLIENTS ALIVE
Do not forget how
destructive HIV is
IN THE “DARK DAYS”, the birth of a child to
a mother living with HIV was, in some cases,
frowned upon. There was no prevention of
mother-to-child transmission. Most of us just
trusted God that our children would be born
HIV-free.
The day I gave birth to my twins, my col-
leagues were ecstatic. Those who know our
history can attest to the fact that for a long
time, infant mortality was inescapable. We
were working in pathetic situations, mostly
informal settlements where the outcome of our
intervention largely depended on God’s grace
because of the intense poverty.
I particularly remember one case where this
woman who had lost her newborn wrapped her
in shawls, as if she was still alive, then boarded
a public service vehicle to her home in Nyanza
Province. According to her, custom demanded
that the baby be buried upcountry, but since
she could not afford to transport the body,
she did what she had to do. Now this is real
poverty.
From the onset, I took it upon myself to en-
sure our clients lived and died in dignity. I had
lived through the stigma that followed the an-
nouncement that one was HIV-infected and the
indignity that shadowed one to the grave.
They say what does not kill you only makes
you stronger. But searing indignity made many
people living with HIV to die before their time.
In our organisation, we do our best to keep
our clients alive. Should we lose out to the Grim
Reaper, we do not have regrets. At times clients
are brought to our attention when they are on
their deathbeds. Still, our community health
workers give it their best.
So, if the HI virus has the upper hand, we do
not have regrets because of something we did
not do. Or something that we could have done
differently that would have brought different
results. However, being human, we sometimes
have regrets, what you would call “if only” mo-
ments.
Looking at the Westgate Mall siege and the
gruesome scenes that met the first responders,
DON’T WASTE it reminded me of what our health workers face.
YOUR ENERGY They are inundated with death and disease.

Post-traumatic counselling for them is always
long overdue.
And it does not make matters any easier that
most of them are living with HIV and/or caring
for loved ones living with the virus. They have
formed bonds with their clients. When a client
passes away, it is not only a personal loss, it can
also feel as if a part of them has died.
With comprehensive care and support,
the number of HIV-related deaths has drasti-
cally reduced. But that does not mean we are
anywhere near our goal of zero Aids-related
deaths.
Our health workers have kept us in business
and kept lives and hopes alive by their work
ethic. They do not throw in the towel, whether
they lose or snatch a client from the jaws of
death, or whether they are also battling with
their own opportunistic infections.
This attitude and approach helped us cope
during those times when we lost several clients
in a week. We had become regular clients at
the City Mortuary and the Lang’ata Cemetery.
I am sorry to say this, but I hate visits to these
two places although many times I do not have
a choice.
The flipside is that these two places remind
me of the frailty of life. They are stark remind-
ers that life should be lived with all the time and
talents that my Creator has blessed me with.
Because, once I am on that cold morgue slab or
under that mound of earth, there is no take two.
Times have changed, thanks to advances in the
medical science. Couples living with HIV can
now have babies without dying of stress.
Coming from this grim background, the news
of the birth of even a single child in KENWA,
whether from an HIV-infected or uninfected
staff or client, is received with a lot of gratitude
to God. This is the promotion God has given us.
We can now celebrate new lives. Before, we felt
damned, what with countless baby deaths from
Aids-related complications.
We still have a long way to go. That is why
it disturbs me when I hear that, given a choice,
some girls fear unplanned pregnancies more
than they do HIV-infection. It is as if our famili-
arity with HIV has now bred forgetfulness. Sad.

LAW

Your signature is as important as your will

LAST WEEK, WE discussed five instances under
which a will can be challenged. As promised, we
look at more such instances.
The law on succession recognises that a person
is free to give away his property as he wishes.
This means that one may divide their estate
in whatever proportion they wish or give any
property or portion of property to any person
they wish. However, there are those people that
you must make provision for. For example, you
cannot write a will and not make provision for
your spouse or children or people who depend
on you. These people can apply to the court for
orders that sufficient provision be made for them
despite there being a will that excludes them.
The same applies where provision is made in the
will but is insufficient. In such a case, then on the
application by, or on behalf of, a dependant, the
court may order that reasonable provision as the
court thinks fit be made for that dependant out of
the deceased’s net estate. In considering whether
any order should be made under this part, and if
so what order, the court shall have regard to:
The nature and amount of the deceased’s
property.
Any past, present, or future capital or income
from any source of the dependant.
The existing and future means and needs of the
dependant.
Whether the deceased had made any
advancement or other gift to the dependant
during his lifetime.
The conduct of the dependant in relation to the
deceased.
The situation and circumstances of the
deceased’s other dependants and the
beneficiaries under any will.
The general circumstances of the case, including,
so far as can be ascertained, the testator’s
reasons for not making provision for the
dependant.
A will may also be challenged if it is not properly
signed by the maker and witnessed by at least two
independent witnesses. An independent witness
is a person to whom no property has been left in
the will. A will may be signed by another person in
the presence and by the direction of the testator.
A will is required to be attested by two or more
competent witnesses, each of whom must have
seen the testator sign or affix their mark to the
will, or have seen another person sign the will in
the presence and by the direction of the testator,
or have received from the testator a personal
acknowledgement of their signature or mark, or
of the signature of that other person. Also, each
of the witnesses must sign the will in the presence
of the testator, but it shall not be necessary that
more than one witness be present at the same
time, and no particular form of attestation shall
be necessary.
An important question may arise regarding the
validity of a will in instances where, for example,
the maker of a will lives outside Kenya but once
he passes on, his will is sought to be enforced in
Kenya.
A will is valid in Kenya despite where it is made if
it conforms with the law regarding signing of wills
in the country where the maker was domiciled
at the time of making the will or at the time of
signing it. Once a court in Kenya establishes the
validity of such a will, the immovable property
(land or houses) located in Kenya will be
distributed according to the laws of Kenya. On the
other hand movable property (for instance cars) in
Kenya will be distributed according to the law of
the country in which the maker is domiciled. For
example, if the maker of a will permanently resides
in Britain and writes a will, the courts in Britain will
determine the validity of the will in accordance
with British law. Where a will includes immovable
property located in Kenya, its distribution will be in
accordance with Kenyan law. The same does not
apply for movable property as it will be distributed
following British law.

At that point, it seems as

the story of your life, and some-

many have asked is: What do you
do when that next line is too long

to ponder.
The very important decisions
we all wait for at the beginning of
our relationships are, of course,
the proposal, and the answer to
that proposal. I will use this only
as an example of the many other
decisions that people anxiously
wait for.
Generally in our society, the
man is expected to make that
first move as the woman waits
anxiously for the question to
be asked. If the proposal finally
comes, the shoe shifts to the
other foot and the man is the
one on tenterhooks. Sometimes,
unfortunately, on this highway

Why does this happen?
No decision coming: This is
a common cause of conflict in
relationships where one person
expects something that the
other person is genuinely oblivi-
ous to. It is a case of signals that
were probably misinterpreted as
people blinded by love perceive
selectively. In this scenario, to
stay with the street lights anal-
ogy, there are really no lights
anywhere in sight; it is a highway
and if one is seeing lights, it is
probably a mirage.
Ambivalence: This is where
decisions are delayed for differ-
ent reasons. Interestingly, this is
a bigger problem among people
who are getting into relation-
ships later in life. It is as though
they become too careful, want-
ing to confirm if every piece of
the puzzle will really fit in before
they make a move. The challenge
is how long someone can be kept
waiting for an answer, especially
when the expectation has been
created.
What can you do if you find
yourself in such a situation?
Reassess: Recognise and ad-
dress the possibility that your
expectation may be misplaced.
This is important because
when one of you climbs on to
an emotional high, pressure is
piled on the other and this might
harm the relationship. So, rather
than turning it into a source of
conflict, assessing your own
feelings, actions, and reactions
against those of your partner
might help to clarify things and
lead to a better relationship.

hicken is a well-loved dish
and is what many serve when
guests visit. What sets it apart
from most dishes is the fact that it
can be prepared in many ways.
Today, I will teach you how
to make chicken curry that is
delicious to the bone. First things
first, though.
How to preserve chicken
Raw chicken stays fresh longer
in the freezer compared to cooked
chicken since it losses moisture
during cooking. Also, there is little
change in nutrient value when
frozen.
Recommended storage period
12 months for uncooked whole
chicken.
Nine months for uncooked
chicken parts.
Three to four months for
uncooked chicken giblets.
Four months for cooked chicken.
It is safe to freeze chicken in its
original packaging. However, this
type of wrapping is permeable to
air and quality may diminish over
time.
For prolonged storage, therefore,
I recommend that you wrap a
second time. Also, chicken should
be stored apart from other foods so
that if it begins to thaw, its juices
will not drip on to other foods. If
you buy previously frozen chicken,
it is safe to refreeze it. If you plan
to have it for supper, remove it
from the freezer in the morning
to give it time to thaw. Frozen
chicken takes about one-and-a-half
times as long to cook.

Chicken Curry
The flavour improves with time,
so do not be surprised if you enjoy
it more a day after you prepare it.
Ensure that you heat it well.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (1.4kg). You can
also use boneless chicken
2 large onions (chopped)
4 garlic cloves (chopped)
20 grammes root ginger
(chopped)
3 large tomatoes
4 teaspoons curry powder
Small bunch coriander
20ml cream (optional)
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
Procedure:
In a suitable pot, cook the onion
and ginger with a little oil over
medium heat. Keep stirring to
cook evenly.
As it starts to brown, add the
chopped garlic and cook until
it starts to brown. You add
garlic later as it cooks fast and
will burn before the onion and
ginger are ready.
Add the curry powder just before
the onion gets fully browned
and allow to cook for a minute
while stirring. If the pot is too
PARSNIPS
hot, reduce/turn off the heat to
prevent the curry powder from
burning.
If using tomatoes, add and stir
them into the onion mix. Add
a little water and allow to stew.
If using blended tomatoes, add
and allow to simmer.
Add the raw chicken and salt
at this stage and stir into the
stew. Cover and allow to cook
over medium heat for about 12
minutes (for broiler).
If using chopped tomatoes, you
may need to add some water to
get a thick rich stew.
Taste and adjust the salt to
taste.
Add chopped dhania and cream
and give a good stir, then turn
off the heat.
Serve hot with rice and
vegetables on the side.

fore avoid over-cooking it in
stews. Cut the pieces into even
sizes especially if the meat in

pieces like the thighs, cook them
for about four minutes before
adding the smaller pieces. To
check for readiness, cut the
meat to ensure that the bone is
not pink or red.
NUTRITION » WITH SONA PARMAR MUKHERJEE
When is it safe to give
your child nuts?
A QUESTION THAT mothers
regularly ask me is whether
their child should be eating
nuts, and when they should be
introduced into the diet.
Their main concern is that
their child may develop a nut
allergy, a situation where the
body releases various inflam-
matory chemicals (including
histamine), making the child to
get symptoms that can range
from tingling of the mouth
and lips and facial swelling to
nausea and tightness of the
throat. In some cases, even a
tiny amount of nut can trigger
what is known as anaphylactic
shock: Severe swelling of air-
ways that obstructs breathing
and a sudden drop in blood
pressure, followed by collapse
and unconsciousness.
And this is why nut allergies
need to be taken seriously.
These allergies are more com-
mon than you would think and
while they can strike at any
age, it is increasingly common
among infants and children up
to the age of three. Unfortu-
nately, once a child develops
a nut allergy, it is unlikely that
they will grow out of it.
So how do you go about avoid-
ing it? First, you need to look
at the family history. If a close
member of your family has any
allergy or asthma, foods con-
taining nuts should be avoided
until your child is three. This
may offer some protection. Bear
in mind that nuts can be present
in cakes, biscuits, and in your
breast milk, therefore be on the
lookout for the ingredients in
the foods you offer your child.
Normally, nuts are included in a
child’s diet at around 15 months,
and should be ground to avoid
choking.
Once your child reaches three,
nuts can be introduced in a
controlled way and the child ob-
served for negative reactions.
So, which nuts are the worst
offenders? While peanuts are
not technically nuts (they are
parsnips are closely
related to carrots, but
unlike them, they turn
dark when exposed
to air after peeling. To
avoid this, cook right
away
legumes, the same family as
beans and lentils), a number
of people are allergic to them.
These are different to “tree
nuts”, which include hazelnuts,
walnuts, cashews, almonds,
chestnuts, macadamias, and
pistachios. Your child may have
an issue with peanuts but not
almonds, or could be allergic to
all of them.
Whatever the case, it is the hid-
den nuts that you have to watch
out for, foods like cakes, biscuits,
pastries, ice cream, satay sauce,
curries, salad dressings, break-
fast cereals, and Chinese, Indian,
Thai, Indonesian, and vegetarian
dishes. While food manufactur-
ers have to declare the presence
of any kind of nut, some packets
may not carry such a warning.
If you are unsure, it is best to
avoid them.
Pregnant or breast-feeding
women may also have to be
careful. If you or the father of
your baby have any allergies in
the family or asthma, it is prob-
ably best to avoid these foods.
However, if that is not the case,
it would be fine to incorporate
nuts into your diet.
And so begs the question: If all
these complications exist with
nuts, why would anyone eat
them at all? Because they are
good for you. Nuts are packed
with protein as well as other nu-
trients like B-vitamins (needed
for energy release), iron (for en-
ergy), zinc (for immunity), and
“good” fats, which may help to
lower the risk of heart disease.
Studies have also shown that
due to their high satiety value
(they make you feel “full” for
a relatively low calorie intake),
nuts aid weight loss too — as
long as you have a handful, not
a whole bowl.

Overwhelming rejection: Most men and women against procedure
THE MEN SAID...
QUESTION:
Do you think
vasectomy is
a good family
planning idea,
and would you
have it?
BY EVERLINE OKEWO
R Vasectomy still
eokewo@ke.nationmedia.com
adio host Maina
Kageni was in his
element behind the
microphone a few
days ago, his beguiling
voice prompting his listeners to
“please talk to me”. He and co-
host Mwalimu King’ang’i knew
the topic of the day would raise
temperatures, and somehow
you could sense the heat it was
generating in the studio.
It was all about vasectomy and
whether men should embrace it
as a family planning method, and
what the mid-morning discussion
on tabloid radio unearthed was
quite perplexing.
Men, it was obvious, still think
the simple procedure would
make them less manly, and
some women joined them in the
defensive camp. Contraception is
a woman’s business, some argued,
so men should be allowed to be
“complete men”.
But, while this debate was
riveting and provocative, most
contributors failed to notice that
it came at a time when policy
makers had raised the red flag over
Kenya’s ballooning population,
estimated to be about 44 million
currently.
One of the most reliable
Economic planners have been
warning that if the country
does not check its population
growth, there will be little to go
around in the next few years. As
a result, family planning is back
on the lips of reproductive health
experts; and vasectomy, a simple
surgical procedure performed on
the man, is being mooted as one
of the most reliable and effective
family planning methods.
And so, as the no-no calls
flooded Maina’s studio that
cold Nairobi morning, and even
though the government has
not placed much emphasis on
male family planning methods,
health specialists still insist
that including these methods
in population policies would be
one of the most effective ways of
stemming the country’s booming
population.
A Kenya Population Situation
Analysis report released last month
by the Ministry of Devolution and
Planning notes that the country’s
population, which stands at 44.03
million and is growing at a rate
of 2.7 per cent, is putting a strain
on the delivery of essential
services, natural resources, and
development activities.

identified pertinent gaps in health
population development and gives
clear policy and programme
implications that need to be
addressed,’’ says the ministry’s
economic secretary, Mr Stephen
Wainaina.
The report notes that one way of
ensuring the slowing down of the
country’s population growth would
be to reduce the birth rate from
five to two children per woman.
This calls for an intensification
of family planning efforts which,
according to economists, should
involve men, hence the importance
of promoting vasectomy as a
method of male contraception.
Little attention
Although vasectomy is not new
in Kenya — if the number of men
who have undergone the procedure
in the past 20 years in anything to
go by — researchers acknowledge
that little attention has been paid
to male family planning services,
not just in Kenya, but in the whole
of sub-Saharan Africa.
In 2011, some 3,652 men
underwent the procedure in
Kenya, thanks in part to the efforts
of Packard Western Kenya. This
number might seem miniscule
when you consider that the country
then had a population of about 40
million, but it was still remarkable,
especially when compared with
the 246 vasectomies recorded
between 1987 and 1991.
However, the number has not
increased significantly since
then, largely as a result of myths
and cultural beliefs surrounding
the procedure. Besides, with
family planning largely seen as
a woman’s responsibility, many
men believe their involvement is
not necessary.
A 2010 survey by Dr Charles
Ochieng’, alongside a team of
experts from the Nyanza-based
Winam Safe Parenthood Initiative
(WISPI), offers some insights.
Not part of culture
The study found that the
men from the region who were
approached to undergo the
procedure rejected it on various
grounds, none of which had any
scientific proof. Some rejected
vasectomy because it was not part
of their culture, others feared it
might affect their virility, while
yet others saw it as a form of
castration.
Dr Ochieng’, who is in charge
of vasectomy at the Marie
Stopes clinic in Kisumu, says the
days when family planning was
viewed as a women’s affair are
long gone, with women now keen
to have their husbands involved

couple does not regret the decision.
Indeed, Mr Omware is pleased that
since he had the operation, his wife
has led a healthy, stress-free life.
But, across the ridge in Shinyalu,
Kakamega, Felix Wanyama insists
that there is no way he is going to go
under the scalpel because, the father-
of-seven fears, he would become “a
lesser man”.
‘‘My community may even start
mocking me,” he adds. “Besides, it is
very risky to undergo the operation.
What if all your children die?” He
further argues that vasectomy might
lead men to have extra-marital affairs,
which could end up breaking up their
families.
Despite the divergent views,
male family planning methods,
and specifically vasectomy, have
been endorsed by the World Health
Organisation (WHO) as effective
measures in checking population
growth in developing countries.
Dr Ochieng’ says it is time for men

to take part in reducing population
growth since women have borne the
burden for decades. However, lack of
awareness and infrastructure remain
major challenges, and both public and
private health facilities in the country
are reluctant to offer the services.
Currently, the more commonly
used technique is known as non-
scalpel vasectomy, which, as the
name implies, does not involve any
incisions. Instead, a small puncture is
made in the scrotum to gain access to
the vas deferens. The tubes are then
tied and the wound sealed. The process
is conducted under local anaesthesia,
which is administered using a spray
applicator.
Dr Ochieng’, who underwent the
cut in 2008 in Florida, US, says it
is a safer, cheaper procedure, with
almost no complications. In the more
invasive conventional method, two tiny
incisions are made in the scrotum to
gain access to the vas deferens, a small
section of which is removed and the
ends sealed.
The operation takes about 15
minutes and can be carried out in a
clinic under local anaesthesia. The
client needs to rest for only about 30
minutes before leaving the clinic.
Dr Ochieng’ says male family
planning methods have proved
successful, with a 99.85 success
rate, adding that policies on men’s
involvement in family planning
should be put in place due to the
high population growth.
A recent Kenya Demographic Health
Survey (KDHS) report estimates that
48.2 per cent of married men have a
clue on what vasectomy is. And while

these can be increased through public
awareness campaigns, Dr Ochieng’
argues that this is only possible if
more health practitioners are trained
and health facilities equipped.
And as the world celebrated World
Vasectomy Day on October 18 in an
attempt to raise awareness about the
procedure and educate people on why
it should be embraced to help stem
population growth, Dr Ochieng’
appealed to the government to set
aside funds for training health service
providers and putting up facilities to
promote vasectomy in the country.
The uptake rate of vasectomy is
estimated at 11.8 per cent in New
Zealand and Australia, 10.3 per cent
in the US, three per cent in Asia, and
0.1 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa.
Nearer home, Rwanda is the only
country that has fully embraced
vasectomy, with thousands of men
going for the procedure.
‘‘Vasectomy is widespread in
Rwanda because President Paul
Kagame supported the initiative
and provided everything necessary
to make it successful,” Dr Ochieng’
says. “Kagame urged the Kenya
government to set aside funds for
training personnel to conduct the
procedure and facilitate buying the
necessary equipment.”
But while Rwanda is taking strides
towards a safer and stronger tomorrow,
Kenya remains stuck in an ignorance
rut. Those who would take up the
procedure are few and far between,
yet they still have to surmount massive
bottlenecks to access the service.
For the rest, only a spirited public
campaign would ease their fears.

Male contraceptives are attracting growing interest from scientists, who believe
they hold promise for being safe, effective and, also important, reversible. “We
have a number of irons in the fire,” said Diana L Blithe, programme director for
contraceptive development for the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development. “I think men actually do want to do this.” While male contraception
has been studied before, no method met the stringent safety and effectiveness
criteria that female methods do. It was also unclear whether men would use
them. Now, scientific advances are producing approaches that could pass muster.
Prompted by women’s organisations, global health groups and surveys indicating
that men are receptive, federal agencies are financing research.

BEHIND

Blue Motion:
this is a
Volkswagen
trademark
for cars
with very
high fuel
efficiency.

Hi Baraza
I am an ardent reader of your articles and
kindly request you to expansively revisit
Volkswagen Toureg on the following areas:
1. Economy of the car — fuel, spare parts
and durability with good care.
2. Its known faults.
3. The difference between petrol and diesel-
run engines.
4. Your general view and insightful aspects
of this car to would-be buyers.
5. The difference between common rail,
blue Motion technology, FSI, and TSI Hybrid.
And if you were to choose this brand of
vehicle, which would be your best model?
Thanks for your magnificent input in
motoring.
Justus Maranga.
I am guessing your request is for the first
generation Touareg, right? Anyway, that is what I
will talk about because I have not test-driven the
current model yet.
1. Fuel economy is fair for the diesel-powered
cars (except for the V10 version, which I think is a
ridiculous car), and poor for the petrol-powered
ones. This applies also to the entry-level 3.2
litre V6 petrol; it will not go far above eight kpl
however hard you try. Spares are costly, as is to
be expected for a car that is
a) German
b) a Volkswagen and
c) Prone to glitches related to fuel quality in
the diesel versions. Durability should be good
because
a) it is, after all, a Volkswagen and
b) you mentioned “good care”.
2. The looks are nothing special, the ride
is hard and uncomfortable (relative to rivals),
the rearward visibility is close to zero owing
to the tiny rear window which is also blocked
by the rear seat headrests and the gearbox
was designed by someone who did not feel
like reporting to work that day. Add to this the
fearsome thirst of the petrol-powered units, the
DPF issues of the diesel versions, and the high
cost of parts as mentioned in 1 above.
3. Well, what can I say? Petrol-run engines
run on petrol and diesel-powered engines run
on diesel. The petrol units start from a 3.2L
V6, stretch to a 3.6L V6, a 4.2L V8, and tops
it off with a silly 6.0L W12 (what is this engine
for, really, apart from powering Bentleys?) The
diesel engines range from a piffling 2.5 litre five-
cylinder, a 3.0L V6, and the ridiculous 5.0L V10
that really belongs in a tank rather than a school-
run SUV.
4. I think from points one to three above you
can start to see the general picture concerning
what I think of this car...
5. Common Rail: This is a fuel delivery system
where the fuel is fed by a single fuel pump from
the tank at high pressure into one fuel line (the
“common rail”). Every cylinder has an injector
that is fed off this common rail. The opposite is
unit injection, where every cylinder has its own
injector which is supplied by its own injector
pump from the fuel lines. Common rail systems,
in other words, involve a highly pressurised
single line of fuel, while unit injection involves
low pressure fuel lines. The fuel pressure (which
is necessary for atomisation) is provided at

cylinder level by the injector pumps.
Blue Motion: This is a Volkswagen
trademark for cars with very high fuel
efficiency. Most of these cars use certain
technologies to achieve this incredible
economy: TDI (turbocharged diesel direct
injection), TSI (turbocharged and/or
supercharged petrol direct injection)
engines as well as DSG (Direct Shift
Gearbox). Some of these engines are
extremely small.
FSI: Fuel Stratified Injection. It is a form
of direct injection for Volkswagen’s petrol
engines
TSI Hybrid: I do not know what this is,
but I am guessing that it is a hybrid car
whose gasoline/diesel engine uses some
form of forced induction.
Hi Baraza,
Your comments on the Toyota Prius
are totally untrue and unfounded and
potrays you as a totally inept and ignorant
person in matters to do with hybrid and
upcoming technologies.
I must admit that I read your column
religiously to get insights on the cars in
the market. However, on this one column I
do not think you did your homework well.
I have driven a Prius for the past two
years and I totally disagree with you on
every word you penned. I do not think
I am ready discuss with you the points
you raised about the fuel efficiency and
comfort one derives from driving a Prius
and the estimated battery life. It is your
duty as a “motor vehicle consultant” to
do your homework well.
Just a simple question: Are you of
the view that vehicle manufactured in
CAR CLINIC
the 1990s are superior to those being
produced now? If yes, then we should
have rejected EFi technology for
carburettor technology. If this is so, then
the hybrid system is a total failure, as you
allege.
Finally, kindly note that I am not an
employee of Toyota to market its Prius.
I am just a satisfied customer looking
forward to the next generation of Prius.
Lastly, in future, before you put your
pen down to advise consumers on
whatever product in a leading newspaper,
kindly do enough research, otherwise you
risk tarnishing their name in the process.
Simon Mwangi.
When you say that what I wrote is
untrue and unfounded and you call me
ignorant and inept, then go further to say
you will not discuss anything, I have to ask:
So what was the point of the email? Was
it just to tell me that you drive a Prius but
you do not work for Toyota?
I do not remember calling the hybrid
tech a “total failure” or endorsing
carburettors over EFI systems.
Yours is not the first harsh response I
have received from readers and in most
cases it is plain to see why. The answer lies
in this statement:
“I’ve driven a Prius for the past two
years.”
Owners of cars tend to get very sensitive
whenever I say negative things about
their choices of transport. If you have a
point to make, please make it instead of
deriding my work, which is not pulled out
of the air but is based on keen research
and exposure to a very large number of
motor vehicles. Three-and-a-half years
of running a column in East and Central
Africa’s bestselling daily newspaper cannot
be based on “ignorance and ineptitude” or
“untrue and unfounded” statements. Had I
tarnished the media group’s name, I would
have been dismissed long ago.
I have a Toyota NZE 2006 model. The
braking system screeches whenever I
step on the brakes suddenly. I took it to
the mechanic and he said that the brakes
have accumulated dust and so he dusted
them. The problem stopped for two days,
but then recurred. I took it to a different
mechanic who suggested that the brake
pads were of poor quality and, therefore,
had them changed. After some time
the new ones also started screeching,
especially when they heat up. Please
advise.

place? Also, this second mechanic, is he
the one who bought the new brake pads?
What we have here is a recurring
problem (obviously). It may have been
dust or it may have been lower quality
pads, as consideration of both surmises
seemed to provide a temporary respite
from the din coming from your stoppers.
So the questions are:
1. Do you drive in a dusty/sandy place?
Maybe after cleaning, the dust found its
way back in.
2. Did the second mechanic buy the new
pads? Maybe he bought another brand of
similar quality to the first, thus transferring
the blame to another trademark.
Some light research reveals that the
weather also affects the noise coming from
the vehicle’s anchors. Apparently, humidity
is yet another cause of noisy brakes.
The most important thing is this: They
work properly, right? If you have any bit
of tech-savvy in you, have a look at the
brakes yourself. If you see scouring on the
brake discs, the dirt is to blame. Also, the
next time the brakes are replaced, have
a look at the old pads. Dirt or wear,
which of the two is predominant?
Therein lies your answer.
Hallo Baraza,
I have a Mercedes Benz 200
Kompressor and I have been
having problems with its engine.
Any time I travel long distances
and have to step on the accelerator
so that it picks up, it derails. The engine
problem icon also flickers on. I have
visited the mechanic several times. He
tells me the diagnosis indicated that that
5
it is something to do with gear two not
engaging on time. We have replaced what
is called the plug in Toyotas several times,
plug two to be specific, but the problem
persists. What is the solution?
Patrick.
What do you mean by the car “derails?”
Or did you mean “delays” by any chance?
Also, what “plug” is this that you
replaced? If it is the spark plug (now that
you said it is plug two), then the name
is the same whether for a Benz or a
Toyota. And this is where we look at your
mechanic:
Your car says it has an engine problem,
your mechanic points at the transmission
but the repairs done are back at engine
level. What gives?
Ask him for a printout of that diagnosis.
Did he use a computer to diagnose the car
or did he just look at it sideways, squint
his eyes a little, then declare: “The car has
a problem with second gear, so we will
change the plugs.” Anybody who knows
anything about cars is going to laugh his
head off at that.
Get a proper diagnosis done. I suspect
the problem might be with the throttle
position sensor, but get a proper diagnosis
first. From an OBD II scanning device, not
from a veteran’s eyesight.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
Your week ahead is likely to be serious practical
rather reserved and purposeful. Home matters
will become more important from now on, as you
settle into a guitar phase for a change. Those of
you who are ambitious may need to put projects
on the back burner for the time being.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
You feel reassured that you are being taken
seriously even if you do have to face challenges
that keep doing what you do best this week,
double-checking details and making sure you are
preparing the ground ahead well.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
You need to be receptive to what partners or
employers are saying. Their week criticism might
seem unfair, but you are strong enough to take it.
Furthermore, there appears to be someone in the
background whose approval you will appreciate
during this particular week you don’t really
require their intervention, but it will certainly be
offered.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
It is no longer enough to pay tip services
to someone else’s ideas with the planetary
influences this week encouraging you to take a
different route into the future. You need all the
help and advice you can get to put a long-term
plan into action.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
The stars this week will help you to see your way
around problems related to work or health, as
well as making it easier for you to seek expert
advice. You are unlikely to feel your normal
sociable – self and the demands of others will
appear particularly taxing.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
The dust seems to be starting to settle after
recent upherals and this week is the time to
confront money matters. The stars are focusing
on joint finances and business affairs. You must
resolve an outstanding debt or promise before
the situation becomes critical.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
This week, you will be flooded with solar power
and your belief in yourself is certainly going to
impress everybody you meet or work, in the
home and while our socializing in the evenings.
You will be very attractive to the opposite sex,
too, which can be fun.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
IThe stars this week will be in your area devoted
to creativity, matters, related to children and
casual romance. When it comes to having fun
with the opposite sex, you will like to play
your admirers in multiple rather than one or a
time.However, you need to take care because
there could be a new person on your scene.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
You should admit that you sometimes, feel
that you are struggling alone. If colleagues or
associates offer help this week don’t be too
proud to accept it, a revised routine with a built-
in support system should ease your burden quite
considerably.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
There are demands being made on you know
which mean that you have to toe the line. This is
not always easy, and it doesn’t leave much room
for compromise. You do not have the time this
week to sweep the tensions under the carpet.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Loved ones can’t be blamed for relying on you to
perfect any proceedings that they can’t manage
to master themselves. The aspects this week
mean that your touch would be as magical as
ever. This feeling can be made to last for several
weeks.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
In many respects, this has to be a week of
reckoning. It’s not that you haven’t done enough
to deserve your due rewards, far from it, but
what you are now offered will have to be earned
the hard way.

Title: A Walk to Recovery

Author: Temo Buliro
Publisher: Longhorn Publishers

ALEX BEGINS HIS WALK TO RECOVERY

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
I knew my way back to my room, but
wanted to go to the General Ward and play
with the other children. Not sure which
direction to take, I listened carefully for the
sound of children’s voices talking and laughing.
I followed the sound, and sure enough it led
me straight to them. I spotted the boy who
had asked me to play Monopoly before, and
wheeled my chair to his bed.
“Hi!” he said as he saw me and lowered
the book he had been reading. “You’ve come
back.”
“Yes, I just finished my first physiotherapy
session and decided to come over and talk.”
“That’s good, I was getting bored. I’m glad
you’ve come. Would you like to play a game of
cards?” At my nod he pulled a deck of cards
out of his bedside drawer. “By the way, my
name’s Luka, what’s yours?”
“Alex,” I replied.
“So, where is the physiotherapy held?”
“Down the corridor.”
“What do you do there?”

Key reforms made to modernize tax administration systems
By EVANS ONGWAE
eongwae@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he government plays a large
role in the modern economy
and to do this it needs to
raise large sums of money in
taxation. Government income comes
from a variety of sources, the main one
being taxation.
The primary function of taxation is to
raise revenue to finance government
expenditure, but it may also be used
to influence expenditure patterns, to
redistribute income and wealth, and
to reflect other social and political
objectives.
It is tempting to look upon taxation as
an ‘evil’, in that it can deter companies
from investing more capital when high
profit taxes reduce the potential returns
to private investors and may deter
individuals from working and saving,
perhaps encouraging the growth of
the so-called underground economy in
which people work for cash and do not
declare their income for tax purposes.
The book, A citizen’s handbook on
taxation in Kenya, published by the
Institute of Economic Affairs notes that,
“Of the total tax revenue collected by
the government over the last decade,
the largest contributors are income tax,
about 40 per cent followed by VAT at
TOP TAX PAYERS 2013
28 per cent. However, it is important
to note that the burden on income tax

concerns despite income tax being the
most progressive tax.”
All hope that every last tax pound
that the government spends is being
used in the best possible way, and not
being directed to projects of secondary
importance.
KRA has undertaken key reforms
to modernize its tax administration
systems, geared towards lowering the
cost of collection. Some of the reforms
include establishment of the Large
Taxpayers Unit (LTU) in 2000.
According to KRA, this department
was established with the objective of
strengthening tax administration in
order to a) achieve increased control
over large taxpayers, b) improve the
audit of large taxpayers, and c) improve
and increase compliance among large
taxpayers.
These are the key features of revenue
administration reforms:
• Implementing appropriate, simple,
and transparent tax and trade
legislation, to provide the best
environment for compliance and
support international agreements;
• Implementing simple, up-to-date

procedures to reduce burden on
taxpayers and traders, improve
the effectiveness of controls, and
promote integrity and transparency
in processes;

• Rationalizing
organizational and
management structures
(e.g., organization design,
layers of management,
spans of control);
• P r o m o t i n g
voluntary compliance and
use of risk management
techniques to provide
the most cost-effective
outcome;
• D e ve l o p i n g
“holistic” approaches
to taxpayer services
(e.g., understanding all
of their tax obligations)
and responding to
their behaviours in an
integrated manner. This
requires examining all
taxes together;
• Employing post
clearance controls in
customs to identify and
correct inconsistencies
in the application of legislation and
procedures at the time of release
and to assist in the identification of
potential fraud;
• Ensuring effective protection and
surveillance functions in customs;
• Effective use of automated systems
to: gather, collate and share
information using reliable databases
and a common identification number;
undertake selective checking
based on risk analysis; standardize
payment processes and accounting
requirements; provide assurance
that the legislation and procedures
are being applied uniformly; and
provide adequate, timely information
to support management decision
making and tax policy formulation;
and
• Increasing autonomy to recruit,
train, retain, and motivate high
calibre staff; measure performance
and remove ineffective and corrupt
officials; control budgets, pay
competitive salaries, and operate
flexibility (e.g., moving staff to meet
workload needs).
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is
the government body that manages the
nation’s revenue income, which is most
often in the form of taxes.
The agency came into existence in
1995 and has drastically improved the
country’s taxation revenue through
organized administration and collection
practices. The majority of the nation’s
budgetary revenue comes from internal
taxes, which go to pay for services such
as health care and education.
