Deputy President William Ruto addresses journalists outside his oce in Nairobi yesterday. He said the Government will not allow terrorists to
dictate or blackmail Kenya. With him are the Cabinet Secretary for the Interior, Mr Joseph ole Lenku (right), police boss David Kimaiyo and other
senior government ocials. Mr Ruto said ways would be found to improve screening of passengers using public service vehicles.
If there is a
doubt you
had in your
mind as to
whether we
are on top of
this situation
or not, take
it from me,
we are on
top of this
situation and
this country
is going to
be safe for
our children,
businessmen
and the 40
million we
have in this
country.
senior ocials of the Kenya Na-
tional Union of Teachers (Knut),
Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob
Kaimenyi said the twin projects
will cost Sh4.4 billion.
However, the numbers to be
either recruited or promoted
fall far below what Knut had
demanded.
The union has been pushing for
the promotion of 53,000 teachers
and the recruitment of 20,000 new
sta and even threatened to call
a strike if the demands were not
met by the government.
Prof Kaimenyi, who spoke at
the Knut House oces, Nairobi,
said although the government was
determined to raise the number of
teachers in public schools, it could
not extend its hand beyond the
gures he announced given the
nancial constraints.
We know the union had asked
for the promotion of over 50,000
teachers, but due to nancial con-
straints, we will only be able to
promote 7,500, at a cost of Sh2.3
billion he said.
A further Sh2.1 billion has been
set aside for the recruitment of
5,000 teachers, a move that is ex-
pected to ease the severe shortage
of tutors across the country. The
latest data from a World Bank
report puts the teacher pupil to
ratio in public primary schools at
49 pupils per teacher.
Prof Kaimenyi said the gures
will help to reduce the crippling
shortage of teachers in schools,
which opened yesterday.
It is estimated that schools need
more than 40,000 teachers to plug
the shortage, which has persisted
since the free learning programme
was introduced 11 years ago.
Prof Kaimenyi assured teachers
that the government had already
made arrangements with the TSC
to begin the exercises after the
budget reading next month.
Present at the press conference
were Knut ocials Mudzo Nzili
(chairman) and Wilson Sossion
(secretary general).
Mr Sossion said Prof Kaimenyis
visit was a show of good faith and
should dispel the notion that Knut
and the government always oper-
ate an antagonistic relationship.
We are committed to dialogue
with the government to solve is-
sues, he said.
We dont enjoy strikes and we
want to spare the country the in-
convenience of one (strike) hence
we have chosen to negotiate with
the Cabinet Secretary.
He called on all teachers to re-
port for duty, saying that the union
had not issued any strike notice
and was not planning to do so.
Prof Kaimenyi also announced
that the second phase of the com-
muter allowance for teachers will
be rolled out, in respect to the
terms of the collective bargaining
agreement negotiated in January
that helped forestall a teachers
strike. Phase one of the commuter
allowances has already been paid
out in full.
He also promised to increase the
capitation for pupils and students
in public schools by between 44
per cent and 50 per cent, a project
that will be rolled out in the next
three years.
This will ensure that children
are not charged any levy for basic
education by 2016.
Currently, the government pays
only Sh1,025 per child in primary
schools per year and Sh10,625 per
student in free day secondary
school learning.
Included in the increased
capitation budget is Sh400 mil-
lion to provide sanitary towels to
schoolgirls above the age of 10,
he said, adding that the increased
allotment will also cater for school
lunches and exam charges.
This will come as a huge relief to
parents, who have been forced to
pay levies in form of electricity and
exam fees, even after the introduc-
tion of the free schooling.
In the interest of national co-
hesion, Prof Kaimenyi announced
plans to launch a Kenya Future
Leaders Programme that will see
majority of university graduates
recruited away from their home
counties. Once implemented, Prof
Kaimenyi said, the programme will
enable the creation of over 30,000
jobs annually, as well as creating
an environment that will enable
fresh graduates to interact with
potential employers.
Under the programme, the gov-
ernment plans to train volunteers
who will work closely with teachers
to improve the standards of learn-
ing in primary schools, focusing
mainly on reading and mathemati-
cal skills.
This comes as a response to
reports that have shown that the
reading and mathematical ability
of pupils is far below par.

Kenya and China are set
to sign a number of trade
agreements during Premier
Li Keqiangs three-day visit
to the country.
Chinese ambassador Liu Xi-
anfa yesterday told journalists
ahead of the visit that starts on
Friday that the areas of focus
will be political, economic,
trade, infrastructure, science
and technology as well as
ecological protection.
Mr Liu said the Prime
Minister would also tour the
National Youth Service among
other institutions.
China is looking at working
with Kenya to promote friendly
cooperation with the purpose
of improving trade relations
between the two countries,
the ambassador said.
According to the Chinese
Embassy, Kenyan exports to
China stand at $50 million
annually while the countrys
imports from the Southeast
Asian nation stand at $3.2
billion (Sh4.3 billion).
Kenya mostly exports tea,
coee, leather and horticulture
to China and imports electri-
cal and mechanical equipment
from China. Mr Liu said China
was determined to see Kenyans
create more jobs for the youth
across the country.
He said trade between
Kenya and China had grown
from $137 million in 2000 to
$3.27 billion last year.
Training ground
The ambassador added
that more than 20 Chinese
athletes come to train in El-
doret yearly.
Mr Liu said that the PMs
visit would promote China-
Kenya comprehensive and
cooperative partnership in all
aspects.
He said that Mr Li would
hold talks with President
Kenyatta on bilateral rela-
tions as well as international
and regional issues.
China-Kenya relations have
maintained an all-round rapid
development with stronger
friendship, he said.

Deputy President William Rutos
insisted yesterday that Kenya will
not withdraw troops from Soma-
lia even as majority of Kenyans
on social media maintained that
withdrawal would be the best op-
tion at the moment.
Under the hashtag #SomeoneTel-
lUhuru, Kenyans on Twitter
highlighted the presence of KDF
troops in Somalia, corruption and
misplaced priorities as the main
reasons behind the insecurity.
Highlighting President Kenyattas
Sunday trip to Nigeria, @Silas-
Jakakimba said the President
should have stayed in the country
to deal with insecurity before at-
tempting to attract investors to
an insecure environment.
Some Kenyans believed that cor-
ruption was entirely to blame for
the entry of illegal immigrants to
the country and dealing with cor-
ruption will inevitably stem the
security problem.
Withdrawing KDF from Somalia
wont stop the attacks. Uganda
and Burundi are not being at-
tacked? Corruption! said popular
blogger @RobertAlai.
Comments by security chiefs
after each episode of terrorism
were also met with great opposi-
tion and scepticism by Kenyans
on Twitter.
We (are) tired of police are in
pursuit of a suspect, said @ki-
bettp as @shikolaptop added
that we dont want statements
we would like action and heads
to roll.
On whether KDF should withdraw
from the war-ravaged Somalia,
they said:
I dont think KDF leaving Soma-
lia is the solution. We just need
new strategies to combat terror
and Ole Lenku wont manage,
said @ronniekib whose words
were echoed by @irenewamaru,
who said Kenya needs a complete
overhaul of its security apparatus.

J
ane Bwari Onwonga, whose two
daughters survived the matatu
blast on the Thika Superhigh-
way at the Roasters underpass, at
rst ignored their call.
I thought she was just telling
me they were on their way home,
because they had gone to visit their
aunt, said the mother, who was then
at her Kasarani home when one of her
daughters tried to reach her.
However, a text message came
in: Mum, terrorists. We have been
bombed!
She says that she felt like she had
a black out. It all appeared like a
movie, she added. I immediately
found myself screaming and shout-
ing the name of the Lord and my
daughters, she said.
The confusion got even bigger when
her daughters phones went o.
Immediately the text message came
in, I tried to call back, but the phone
was not ringing.
She got so traumatised that she even
started telling pedestrians to help call
her daughters.
That is the moment a chilling
cold ran through my body and it all
appeared to me like hell had broken
loose she says.
Things got worse when she got
to the scene of the blasts. You see,
there were two vehicles that had been
bombed and my daughters phones
were not going through, she says.
Then there were ambulances taking
the injured to hospitals, not to men-
tion all the people, who were milling
around the scenes of crime.
My mind went dead and refused
to function, she said.
Then all of a sudden, my phone
started ringing, and it was my daughter
Valentine who was calling.
We are on Thika Road and we are
safe, I heard her say.
Mrs Onwonga says that all that
was still not making sense because
she couldnt see her daughters.
You only get to understand what
terrorism is when it really happens
to your own child or a relative that
you know and cherish, she told the
Nation.
I drifted into momentary madness,
with images of funny situations cloud-
ing my mind, Mrs Onwonga said.
And then the moment came.
I was right in the middle of the
superhighway in the area that had
been cordoned o when I spotted
my daughters from a distance.
I literally ran past a policeman with
a gun in his hand pointing at me. I had
to go and conrm that indeed, I was
not hallucinating, she said.
Her two daughters, Valentine Mor-
agwa and Lydiah Moraa were standing
at the Astrol Petrol Station still trying
to come to terms with the reality of
the explosions.
We were seated just besides the
driver when a big blast rent the air.
What I remember is seeing the driver
jump from the bus. I cant quite tell
how, but I found myself out with my
sister too, Valentine said.
The Form Three student said that
she saw somebody whose eyes had
popped out and was bleeding pro-
fusely.
Things happened miraculously and
I thank God because I only got hurt
on my toe, which I didnt even notice,
Valentine said.
Her sister was too shocked to speak.
The two were among the victims of
the twin blasts on the Thika Super
highway on Sunday evening.
An explosion went o on a 52-seater
bus that was taking them home after
visiting their aunt.
Another blast had simultaneously
rocked a bus belonging to the Mwi
Sacco company at the Kasarani un-
derpass.
Mothers agony as girls phones
switched o in killer explosions

TERROR ATTACKS
KDF wont withdraw, Ruto warns
and asks judges to be hard on killers
SECURITY | Leaving Somalia now would be an act of cowardice, says Deputy President in answer to calls by the Opposition
BY JOHN NGIRACHU
@JohnNgirachu
jngirachu@ke.nationmedia.com
D
eputy President William
Ruto yesterday described
the weekend terrorist at-
tacks as acts of desperation by
Al-Shabaab ghters who are on
the run as the noose tightens
around their necks.
Mr Ruto said Kenya would
not withdraw its forces from
Somalia until order is restored
in that country.
He insisted that despite the
terror attacks in Mombasa on
Saturday night and on Thika
Road in Nairobi on Sunday
evening, the security agencies
had foiled many more and
eliminated terror cells.
Even a single act of terrorism
makes hundreds of success-
ful deterrent measures seem
unhelpful, he told journalists
when asked to give more details
on foiled attacks.
He said the government was in
control of the security situation
and described the latest terror
attacks as acts of desperation
from Al-Shabaab.
Those of us who are telling us
that we should get out of Somalia
are telling us to perform an act
of cowardice, to run away from
killers and terrorists and people
who feed on the blood of others.
We will not. We will face them,
confront them, deal with them
and defeat them, said the DP.
He was responding to calls
by ODM interim leader An-
yang Nyongo who on Sunday
said Kenya should withdraw
its forces from Somalia to stop
further terrorist attacks on its
own soil.
I want to conrm to you, if
there is a doubt you had in your
mind as to whether we are on
top of this situation or not, take
it from me, we are on top of this
situation and this country is
going to be safe for our children,
businessmen and the 40 million
we have in this country.
But yesterday, Prof Nyongo
criticised Mr Ruto saying: The
Deputy President can aord to
say that his government cannot
be intimidated because he does
not take matatus and has no
relative in Somalia. The ordinary
Kenyan is intimidated by increas-
ing insecurity in the country.
After the September 21 attack
on Westgate Mall, in which 67
people were killed, President
Uhuru Kenyatta said that despite
the attack, Kenya would continue
with its mission in Somalia.
In response, Al-Shabaab
posted a message online saying
that the Presidents statement
was an indication that Kenya
had not learned any lesson.
We will strike Kenya where
it hurts the most, turn their cit-
ies into graveyards and rivers of
blood will ow in Nairobi, the
terrorist group said.
Yesterday, Mr Ruto challenged
the Judiciary to play a bigger role
in the war against terrorism by
ensuring that suspects arrested
and charged in connection with
terrorism were not freed on
bond.
We believe that there is more
that the Judiciary can do to make
sure that these people, once ar-
rested and identied as terror
suspects, do not nd their way
into the general population and
continue to execute their evil
schemes, he told a press con-
ference in Nairobi.
The Judiciary said it had
already organised a meeting
between the top security organ
and the Chief Justice. It provided
a letter from Chief Registrar
Anne Amadi inviting members
of the National Security Council,
apart from the President and his
deputy, to a meeting to address
these concerns.
It is important for the judi-
cial ocers to understand the
imperatives and challenges of
national security. The meeting

Deputy President William Ruto
said records indicate that many
terror suspects have absconded
bail and are now beyond the
reach of law enforcement.
At least 22 persons accused of
terrorism are known to be out
on bond.
Among them is Fuad Abubakar
Maswab, who is believed to have
ed to Somalia. He was out on a
Sh10 million bond, he said.
Maswab was co-accused with
Jermaine John Grant and had
been arrested in possession of
explosives.
Among the terror suspects out
on bond are Jamal Mohamed
Awadh and Suleiman Moham-
med Sayyed.
Mr Ruto said those who have
ed to Somalia intended to
continue with their activities.
While they are abroad, the
cases against them cannot
proceed, seriously impairing
the quest for justice and law en-
forcement, he said.
WHATS ALLEGED
22 terror suspects
are out on bond
that the Chief Justice proposes
will aord the two arms of govern-
ment an invaluable forum to share
perspectives on this critical issue
in public interest, Ms Amadi said
in the letter dated April 28.
Mr Ruto asked the public to sup-
port the war on terrorism by being
vigilant and reporting suspicious
people and objects to the police.
It is important for Kenyans to
realise that it is in their patriotic
interests to make sure that these
people are reported to law enforce-
ment agencies, he said.

abinet Secretary for Health
James Macharia has said the
84 victims of the two blasts in
Nairobi will receive free treatment.
He said at the Kenyatta National
Hospital (KNH) during a visit to the
patients that the government was
working with the Red Cross to clear
all the bills of those aected during
the blast.
The minister conrmed that KNH
had received a further two casual-
ties from the initial 31 and Aga Khan
Hospital had received 27 survivors
from the blast.
Seventeen patients are still admit-
ted to KNH with three in critical
condition.
A mother who miscarried, and a
nine-year-old boy who is set to un-
dergo amputation are the most serious
victims in the Aga Khan hospital.
The rest of the patients at the KNH
had been stabilised and were recover-
ing in the wards while 16 had been
treated and been discharged.
The survivors, however, remained
shaken from the traumatising experi-
ence and recounted the ordeal with
visible shock. Hellen Njeri, 34, a
businesswoman in town recounted
how she narrowly escaped death in
the Githurai bound bus.
The man who was sitting next to
me died and I remember being en-
gulfed by a cloud of smoke and I could
not move my legs, she said.
I am so happy to be alive and I
hope I will get better and go back
home in order to breastfeed my child,
she added with resolve.
Mrs Kaleche Dorothy said she
witnessed the horror of watching the
person next to her go up in ames.
I wanted to escape from the man-
gled wreckage and the ames but my
right leg was burnt and I could not
move it, she said. She added that in
the confusion, she did not even know
she was injured or whether the bus
had been involved in an accident or
a bombing.
All I heard was a big bang and
smoke and being rescued by well-
wishers, she said.
Mr Paul Maina was one of the well-
wishers who rushed the rst two badly
injured ladies to the hospital. He was
horroried when he brought them in
on Sunday.
I was at Blue Springs Hotel when I
heard the blast. I rushed to the scene
and got two of the casualties into my
car then drove straight to the hospi-
tal, he said.
Leg and chest injuries
He followed up with the two pa-
tients and helped one of them, Mrs
Marian Mwende who was separated
from her daughter, Christine Muthoki,
in the confusion.
She was resting easy having es-
tablished that Christine was safe at
Aga Khan.
I have been informed that she is
safe in Aga khan. I am recovering well,
but I still cannot move my leg, she
said in relief.
Most victims had leg and chest in-
juries from shrapnel and broken glass
that were blown o the buses during
the blasts, according to the KNH of-
cer in charge Dr Peter Wanyoike.

Matatu operators want special
police units set up at bus stages
along major highways to ensure
passengers boarding public vehi-
cles are not armed.
Lack of security checks at the
bus stops may have given terror-
ists an opportunity to board the
buses attacked with explosives
on Sunday, according to Matatu
Welfare Association chairman
Dixon Mbugua.
The two buses were coming from
the city centre to the suburbs. The
rst explosion, according to wit-
nesses, was hurled at the bus from
a moving vehicle and in the second

We use metal detectors in all
matatu terminuses to ensure no
armed passengers enter the vehicle,
Mr Mbugua, who spoke to the Na-
tion by telephone yesterday, said.
He said it was not possible for
the matatu operators to post their
own security at every bus stop on
the highways.
Mr Mbugua said it was likely that
those who hurled explosives at the
bus could have been at a stage on
the highway.
When passengers reach their
destination, they alight and oth-
ers enter. It is hard to know who
is armed because there are no
security checks at the bus stops
along the highways.
Mr Mbugua said it was only the
police who could deal with such
matters.

A SIM card and samples
of explosives found at the
blast scenes on the Thika
Superhighway are key in es-
tablishing the identity and
motive of the attackers.
Investigations had been
launched into the two at-
tacks that claimed three
lives and left about 80
others injured, Inspector-
General of Police David
Kimaiyo said yesterday.
Detectives collected a
SIM card from one of the
blast scenes. They also
collected parts of the im-
provised explosives from
the two blast scenes. They
are seeking to establish
whether the SIM card was
registered and to whom,
among other details.
By last evening, police
had not disclosed the mo-
bile service provider for the
SIM card.
We are liaising with serv-
ice providers to nd out if
there were calls made using
the card or if any call had
been received through it,
said an ocer who sought
anonymity.
Also being analysed are
parts of the explosives
retrieved.
According to the police,
the devices had powerful
detonators and were packed
with ball bearings, among
other objects, to cause ex-
tensive damage.
Investigators are also try-
ing to establish whether the
explosions were triggered
through a remote-control-
led device or a mobile
phone signal.
Some witnesses have re-
corded statements with the
police, describing two sus-
pects said to have alighted
from a Mwi Sacco bus just
before it left town.

TERROR ATTACKS

Security expert Mbijiwe
Mwenda has called on the gov-
ernment to engage the public in
more practical ways than it is
currently doing.
Mr Mbijiwe said Kenya was
strong on community policing
but the country had no community
counter-terrorism programme.
The government should educate
and empower the average citizen
to defend against terrorists. The
public is virtually ignorant of what
they are supposed to do in case
of a terrorist threat. So far, there
has been no eort to enlighten
the public on how IEDs look like
and what constitutes a suspicious
package, he told Nation.
Outdated methods
Mr Mbijiwe said that the police
were still using outdated methods
to detect terrorists and it was
obvious that they needed special
counter-terrorism training.
The recent case at Pangani Po-
lice Station was very sad, he said.
If these ocers had been trained
on the protocols and procedures
of counter-terrorism, they would
not have entered that car. It will
be no surprise to nd terrorists
using this ignorance and breaking
trac laws in order to lure them
for another attack.

The electoral commission
has accused the Court of
Appeal of creating its own
evidence in arriving at a de-
cision to nullify the election
of Mr Okoth Obado (below)
as Migori governor.
The Independent Elec-
toral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC) told
the Supreme Court, through
lawyer Victor Obondi, that
the judges manufactured
their own evidence which
was not pleaded by the
petitioner, Prof Edward
Akongo Oyugi.
Mr Obondi told the
seven-judge bench that the
judgment was dangerous
and if allowed to stand,
no elections will ever be
held in Kenya.
The lawyer said that
no elections were
devoid of errors
anywhere in
the world, and
Kenya was not
an exception.
T h e
judges gave
an ex parte
(one party)
judgment and
did not analyse
the rival
sub-
missions by IEBC, which
answered the issues raised
by Prof Oyugi, Mr Obondi
stated.
The lawyer said the
judgment of Mr Justice
Onyango, Mr Justice
Sankale ole Kantai and
Mr Justice William Ouko
had no substance but a
misrepresentation of the
High Court record.
I urge this court to cor-
rect the misapplication
of the law by the Court
of Appeal as it set a bad
precedent, which cannot
be followed in future, Mr
Obondi pleaded during
the hearing, which contin-
ues today.
He said the appellate
court analysed the facts
of the case and came up
with its own gures from
the scrutiny and recount
ordered by Lady Jus-
tice E. N. Maina

A
10-day audit at Ardhi House
that began yesterday has
sparked fresh conict between
the Lands ministry and the National
Land Commission.
The ministry disrupted services
and closed Lands oces to the public
amid protests from the commission,
claiming, it was illegal.
The ministry and the commis-
sion share oces at Ardhi House,
Nairobi.
Those wishing to collect title deeds
or conduct land transactions must
now wait until the audit is done.
Crucial documents
Security has been intensied at the
Lands oces, but the commission
has raised the alarm that the audit
may lead to disappearance of crucial
documents.
The closure caused confusion as the
NLC maintained it would continue to
serve the public.
Police yesterday blocked Kenyans
from the building. Lands Cabinet Sec-
retary Charity Ngilu said the ocers
were posted to the building to ensure
no documents were lost. The audit,
she said, was aimed at restoring sanity
at the ministry that been dominated
by corrupt employees.
One million title deeds will have
been disbursed to Kenyans by the
end of the year, according to the
minister.
It takes up to 100 days for one
to get his documents, she said. We
intend to reverse that and it will no
longer be who has the money; it is
about service delivery.
The NLC accused her of creating
parallel functions between the com-
mission and the ministry.
We are perturbed with what is
happening, said the agencys vice-
chairperson Abigael Mukolwe. She is
wasting time and resources for an exer-
cise which is deemed illegal to us.
Ms Ngilu accused the commission-
ers of corruption. Ask them why they
keep les in their own oces and not
at a central place, she said.
The commission said it has no in-
terest in issuance of title deeds, but
handled matters relating to leasing.
The commission, which accuses
Mrs Ngilu of not knowing her job or
dierentiating title deeds and leases,
has moved to the Supreme Court for
interpretation of their functions.
Efforts to resolve the conflict,
including the Presidents interven-
tion, have failed as Mrs Ngilu always
reneged on their agreements, accord-
ing to Ms Mukolwe.
She said the Lands Cabinet Sec-
retary was acting unconstitutionally.
The commission is independent. It
is unfortunate that members of the
public are being barred by the several
police here, she said.
The commissioners claimed that
sensitive documents were being
handled without care and could
disappear.
If any document gets lost, we
shall hold her (Mrs Ngilu) solely
responsible for the same, the NLC
vice-chairperson said.
Despite the stand-o, services at
Lands offices in Meru, Nyeri and
Kirinyaga were uninterrupted.
In Meru, payment for allotments,
land adjudication and applications
for valuation and processing were
on-going.
And in Kirinyaga, scores of people
were at Lands oces in Kerugoya
Town from 8am.
Those interviewed said they were
being served as usual. Here we are

A
woman was yesterday jailed for
10 years for killing her four-
year-old daughter.
Her husband, who also faced the
same charge, was freed.
Jane Gathigia Maina (far right) and
Mr Walter Njuguna Njoroge were ac-
cused of killing Anastasia Njoroge on
October 3, 2010, at Wangige Market
in the outskirts of Nairobi.
Like couples take vows in church to
stay together till death do us part,
Mr Njoroge and his wife stood in the
dock like bride and groom waiting for
that nal word, this time not from the
pastor but from a High Court judge.
Mr Justice Nicholas Ombijas
verdict separated them for 10 years
after he found the 27-year-old woman
guilty of strangling and suocating
her baby before dumping the body
in a borehole.
Justice Ombija ruled that there was
no way the child could have thrown
herself into the borehole at night.
Having considered and evaluated
the evidence on record, I nd the rst
accused guilty as charged for killing
her daughter. But considering her
mitigation and the fact that she is a
young lady nursing another child she
bore while in custody, I will sentence
her to 10 years in jail, he said.
The judge said there was no
evidence linking Mr Njoroge to the
murder although it was clear they had
family quarrels over nances and the
child who was born out of wedlock.
The court had been told that Mr
Njoroge arrived home at around 8pm
on the fateful day and requested his
wife to prepare a meal for dinner.
She informed him that the maize
our was inadequate for ugali after
which he gave her Sh100 to go the
nearby shop to purchase some.
Gathigia was accompanied to the
shop by her daughter, and that was
the last time Mr Njoroge saw the
girl alive.
When his wife returned to the house
after about half-an-hour, Njoroge, who
was lying on the bed, asked where
Anastasia was and the mother ex-
plained that the girl had left her at the
shop and ran back to the house.
Mr Njoroge was surprised because
the two had gone out together. He
searched foe the girl in the neigh-
bourhood but failed to locate her.
The next morning, the couple
found a note at the entrance of their
house telling them that the child was
seen near the borehole. It is then that
they discovered the lifeless body of
the girl oating in the water.
Justice Ombija ruled that the cir-
cumstantial evidence pointed to the
fact that the woman had the intention
of eliminating the child because of
getting her out of wedlock.
He said the note was in the wom-
ans handwriting apparently to help
in locating the babys body.
Its only her who knew where
the child disappeared to. An expert
analysis revealed that the handwrit-
ten note was hers conrming that she
knew what had happened to the baby,
ruled Justice Ombija.

A
high prole case pitting
Central Bank Gover-
nor Njuguna Ndungu
against the Director of Public
Prosecutions and Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Commission
suered a setback when a third
judge declined to handle it.
Justice Isaac Lenaola yester-
refused to handle the case on
grounds that the CBK governor
was known to him personally
and handling the case may be
deemed prejudicial.
The case had been referred
to him by Lady Justice Mumbi
Ngugi who had herself quit the
case -- the second judge to do
so. She had taken up the matter
after her colleague Judge David
Majanja but disqualied herself
saying she felt uncomfortable
with the concerns raised in the
petition.
Consequently, the matter that
is now turning out to be a legal
hot potato has been referred back
to Chief Justice Willy Mutunga
who will appoint another judge
to hear it.
Prof Ndungu lodged the pe-
tition against the DPP and the
EACC in objection to his arrest
and prosecution.
The DPP and EACC have
led papers at the High Court
explaining why Prof Ndungu
should be prosecuted for abuse
of oce.
They alleged that he oc-
casioned by failure to appeal
against an irregular award of
a Sh1.2 billion tender to Horse-
bridge Network Systems (EA)
limited for the installation of
a security management sys-
tem at CBK headquarters and
branches.
However, Prof Ndungu
obtained a stay order against
them pending the hearing and
determination of his petition.
Justice David Majanja who
had issued the order stopping
the DPP from prosecuting the
governor was the rst to leave
the case.
The le was then pushed to
Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi who
had set a hearing date for the
petition for May 14.
But before the petition was
heard, Prof Ndungu filed a
separate petition under a certi-
cate of urgency seeking to start
contempt proceedings against
the commission and the Daily
Nation over the publication of
a story concerning correspond-
ence between EACC and the
Chief Justice on how the case
le was being handled at the
High Court.
While quitting the case yester-
day, Justice Ngugi also set aside
the hearing dates she had set for
the case. She then referred the
matter to Justice Lenaola who
too turned it down on grounds
of conict of interest.
In the new petition, the CBK
boss through his lawyer Donald
Kipkorir, had complained that
the EACC had deliberately
proceeded to steal a match in a
contemptuous publication in the
Daily Nation and is now seeking
urgent remedy as this may lead
to extreme prejudice.

WHEELS OF JUSTICE | Lawyers accuse police of conducting shoddy investigations which make it dicult for State prosecutors to prove the charges
BY PAUL OGEMBA
@PaulOgemba
pogemba@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he role of the police in investi-
gating murder cases has come
into focus, following a report
showing a large number of them never
end in convictions.
According to the Economic Survey,
only 264 murder cases were success-
fully prosecuted last year out of the
1,709 led in court, suggesting that
majority of the offenders walked
free.
Law Society of Kenya chairman
Eric Mutua says police are to blame
for shoddy investigations that make
it dicult for the Oce of the Direc-
tor of Public Prosecutions to prove
the charges.
Any murder case lost in court is
based on shoddy investigations. The
DPPs oce does not carry out inves-
tigations and only acts based on the
evidence provided. That is why State
prosecutors have diculty prosecut-
ing murder cases, says Mr Mutua.
He adds that many of the ocers
involved in investigating murder
cases are incompetent and so cor-
rupt that they would do anything to
mess them up.
If you randomly pick any two
cases in which the suspects have been
acquitted, you will nd the judges ex-
planation as poor investigations and
lack of evidence. It shows the police
ocers are incompetent and not well
trained and if you nd those who are
properly trained then they are aptly
corrupt, says Mr Mutua.
However, Inspector-General David
Kimaiyo defends his ocers, saying
neither his oce nor that of the DPP
should be blamed for the high number
of acquittals.
Mr Kimaiyo says any murder case
the police take to court must be ap-
proved by the DPP after perusal of
the evidence and satisfaction that
the evidence is sucient to sustain
a trial.
We always get his consent to
prosecute and in circumstances he
feels the evidence is not adequate,
he advises us to carry out further
investigations, he says.
The police boss says investiga-
tors always try their best to provide
information requested by State
counsels.
The pride of any investigator is
to secure a conviction and it is not
true that they carry out shoddy
investigations. In any case, the in-
vestigations division is very tough
and no ocer can survive if all the
cases he investigates keep on falling
apart, he says.
The Economic Survey report shows
that in 2012, some 1,347 murder cases
were led, but there were only 66
convictions.
The reports says the High Court in
Kisii registered the highest number
of murder cases, while Homa Bay
recorded the least. Machakos had
the highest number of convictions,
while Mombasa, Kakamega and Nyeri
did not record any convictions in the
period under review.
The survey further indicates that
men are most likely to commit
serious oences, given that police
arrested 1,507 of them for murder
last year, while only 214 suspects
were women.
However, the report points to an
increase in convictions on other
offences because the number of
prisoners has risen from 204,551 in
2012 to 227,918 last year.
Criminal lawyer John Swaka sup-
ports the LSK chairmans position,
saying some charges are trumped up
by police ocers, while other suspects
are framed by people hiding the real
murderers.
Mr Swaka believes the large number
of acquittals is down to advocates
mastery of criminal law, which ena-
bles them to successfully defend their
clients.
Criminal lawyers become experi-
enced with time and use the simple
mistakes by police investigators to
secure freedom for their clients.
You cannot secure a conviction
when the investigations are shoddy
and the evidence is watered down,
he says.
The seasoned lawyer further blames
judges handling murder cases for
taking too long to conclude them,
which, he says, has taken a toll on

A rights group has called
for the suspension of four
ocers in Nyeri believed to
have killed ve suspects they
had arrested.
The suspects bodies were
found dumped in a forest.
The Independent Medico-
Legal Unit at the weekend
said the officers should be
suspended to pave the way
for independent investigations
into the killings.
While acknowledging that
violent crime in the country
was on the rise, the group
criticised the police for using
excessive force, including kill-
ing suspects.
This goes against the consti-
tutional provision that declares
one innocent until proven
guilty, said the group.
Executive director Peter
Kiama said Mr Mohamed
Mustafa Kaburu, Ms Martha
Wairimu, Mr Simon Kingori,
Mr Kelvin Kihuri and Mr Yusuf
Mwangi were found dead in
Tagwa forest.
Mr Kiama said the way they
were killed showed police in-
volvement.
Our investigations have re-
vealed that the ve were taken
into the Central Police Station
in Nyeri on April 16, 2014, at
10pm. However, their names
were not recorded in the daily
occurrence book as should have
been the case.
The ve were found dead
the following day and no spent
cartridges were found on the
scene, he added.
Adversely mentioned
He said four ocers have
been adversely mentioned in
connection with the killings.
The lobbys programmes
manager, Mr Hadley Muchela,
said the Nyeri case was not
isolated as 233 people had
died through the use of lethal
force by the police in the last
16 months.
These statistics put into
question the commitment of
the National Police Service
to respecting the right to life
under Article 26 of the Consti-
tution, said Mr Muchela.

A
n MP has accused police of
conspiracy to cover up the
murder of his parents.
The murder of Nyakach MP
Aduma Owuors parents is yet to
be solved.
They died in an arson attack
at their Kabete Village home last
November.
We have tracked some conversa-
tions that touch heavily on police
involvement. We will present our
evidence once it is satisfactory that
no one will interfere with it, Mr
Owuor said yesterday.
Six suspects were arrested in con-
nection with the incident six months
ago, but were released.
Six arrested
The six, among them two women,
were arrested from various home-
steads and remanded for a week.
They were released by a Nyando
court after the head of criminal in-
vestigations in Nyakach, Mr Richard
Mathenge, said none of them could
be linked to the murder.
According to Mr Owuors con-
struction of the events, three men
barged through the gate at 7.30pm
on November 7, last year, then went
straight into the kitchen where his
mother Mary Owuor, 70 was
preparing supper. They hit her on
the head before heading to the liv-
ing room and attacked Mr Francis
Owuor, 80.
The killers locked the couple in
the house and set it on re as they
ed.
The attackers struck in the early
hours of the evening. Neighbours
learnt of the attack far much later
at 1am, Mr Owuor told journalists

Two were shot dead, while a
third, believed to be a police ocer,

Somalia pullout unwise
T
he question of whether the Kenya Defence
Forces troops in Somalia should be pulled
out is one that requires deep thought devoid
of partisan politicking and emotionalism.
It is a fact that the Somali terrorist group, Al-
Shabaab, cites our troops presence in Somalia as
one of the reasons its murderous operatives have
been targeting innocent men, women and children,
but it is doubtful whether withdrawing our troops
will make them stop their cowardly attacks.
It is also doubtful whether such a withdrawal
will not signal to the rest of the world that Kenyan
troops are eeing certain defeat, a conclusion that
would be manifestly untrue.
But even more important, it could indicate to the
terrorists that Kenyans are cowardly, which may
embolden them to strike even harder.
It is true that our Forces presence in Somalia, if
it takes too long and the number of body bags keep
mounting, may result in a backlash. It would also
be helpful if there is a timeline within which the
KDF mission in that country can be described as
accomplished. Right now, it certainly is not.
Therefore, precipitate, unilateral withdrawal
would be totally unwise. It will just encourage Al-
Shabaab to try and regain the territory it lost.

Individuals must join
war against terrorists
K
enyans who live and work in Nairobi and
Mombasa are agonising over the weekend
terrorist attacks, which claimed a total of
six lives and injured several people. The rst, on
Saturday, left four dead and scores injured.
A near identical attack hit Nairobi on Sunday
and killed two people, leaving more than 60 people
with injuries. In both instances, the attacks targeted
public service vehicles and grenades were used.
Whereas the previous attacks were directed at
the occupants of public buildings, including the
Westgate Mall and churches, the perpetrators of
these heinous oences have changed tack.
This is hardly surprising since terrorists strategy
is to be unpredictable. They always want to be a
step ahead and leave the security agencies panting
behind as they continue to wreak havoc.
Various issues come to the fore. The rst is that
security operations must be diversied and focused
in all dimensions, especially public transport
terminuses like the railway station, the country bus
station and ferry services, among others.
Second, operators of public service vehicles
must institute stringent rules, including thorough
frisking of passengers. They must also avoid
carrying passengers along the way.
As spelt out in the recently-published transport
regulations, the transporters must keep a manifest
of travellers with their proper identication details.
Similarly, travellers must take a keen interest in
fellow passengers, and if they are uncomfortable
with anyone, they should raise the alarm. Since the
police cannot do it all alone, it is upon individuals
to take interest in their own security.
Ultimately, the government bears the burden of
providing security for all citizens. A situation where
terrorists strike almost daily and get away without
trace is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
K
enya is at war. If
anyone is in doubt,
the twin bomb
attacks in Nairobi and
Mombasa should serve to
disabuse us of any notion
that we are safe and secure.
One factor we have to
contend with is that the
kind of war we face is not
restricted to the men and
women bearings arms on
some frontline, but all of us
going about our mundane
daily routines.
The soldier facing the
enemy knows very well the
threat he confronts and the
terrain and environment in
which he operates.
Now the rest of us have
been put in an even more
dangerous situation where
unseen, unknown foes
within are out to violently
disrupt normal human
intercourse.
We are not part of the
Kenya Defence Force
troops taking the battle to
Al Shabaab terrorists in
Somalia, but all of us face
even more mortal danger on
the streets, clubs, shopping
malls, bars, churches, and
wherever else we may
congregate, commute or
commune.
This is a beast we must
confront as a united nation
with one resolve. The
moment we show fear and
division and start nger-
pointing and recriminations,
the enemy wins.
As a regular on social
network, I am proud
Kenyans are already world
champions at waging war on
Twitter. Kenyan on Twitter,
#KOT, will wage vicious,
and humorous battles
on the #someonetell. . . .
it could be south Africa,
Tanzania, the United States
or any other country that
gets on the wrong side of
our hashtag, but when Al
Shabaab atrocities makes us
turn the barrels inwards, we
are denitely on the wrong
foot.
#someonetelluhurukeny
atta may be well meaning,
and does raise serious
and legitimate questions
about President Kenyattas
handling of the security
docket in the face of
mounting terrorist attacks.
However, too many of the
comments will sound like
sweet music to the ears of
Al Shabaab, for they betray
a frightened, terried nation
that is starting to turn on
itself.
Right now what Kenyans
need most in the face of
terrorist provocation is the
unity of purpose necessary
for a sustained and ruthless
battle against the terrorists
both across the border
in Somalia, and their local
cells that must be isolated,
cut o, neutralised and
subjected to the only
punishment suitable for
treasonous traitors.
Any shows of panic
and inghting will only
embolden the terrorists and
show them that they are
winning.
A classic terrorist strategy
is to spread panic and
division, and that is what we
must not allow.
We all have the right
to question the Jubilee
governments handling of
the security sector in the
face of the current threats.
We also have our political
divisions that will not be
subjugated to external
factors. However, we
dont have to raise those
questions as a way of
scoring cheap political
points.
Demanding that Kenyan
troops pull out of Somalia,
for instance, will hugely
please Al Shabaab because
we are just echoing what
they claim to be ghting for.
One must wonder why the
ocial Opposition, which
was part of the decision to
launch Operation Linda
Nchi, is thinking when
it appears to parrot Al
Shabaab demands.
No war was ever won by
capitulation, and in any case
there is no evidence that
pulling out of the regional
military eort to secure
Somalia from terrorists
will make them stop their
attacks on Kenya.
We must also stop other
petty and foolish political
sideshows. Ive already seen
on Twitter and Facebook
the Jubilee social media
army coming out with
claims that the terrorist
attacks have been launched
by the opposition Cord
alliance to destabilise the
Uhuru Kenyatta-William
Ruto administration.
I dont suppose it will
be long before the Cord
warriors start their own
threads proposing that the
murderous attacks are all
part of a Jubilee strategy to
rally the country round the
government.
We have serious security
problems. We have reason
to be scared and angry, but
lets make our proposals
and ask our questions in
ways that do not serve the
aims and purpose of the
terrorists. The greatest test
of a nation is unity in the
face of adversity.

TO THE OPPOSITION | Eric Ngeno
O
ver the past year, the
opposition has been
frantically exerting
itself towards the noble task
of discrediting the Jubilee
Alliance in vain. Few can
deny that they are desperate.
IEBC, the Supreme Court,
the Judiciary, KDF, NIS and
now poor Kennedy Murithi are
some of the straws they have
clutched desperately to shore
up Cords waning fortunes.
In the blistering heat of
erce political competition,
it is easy to forget that our
opponents are not only
fellow Kenyans, but brothers
and sisters who deserve our
sympathy and aid.
That is why I am suciently
philanthropic today, to throw a
few bones in the oppositions
way, hoping they will nally
get their agenda on track and
nd grounds for meaningful
political engagement in and
outside Parliament.
Inevitably, Jubilee has
recorded regrettably
spectacular failures and
presided over unmitigated
disasters. Too many to
enumerate, actually. Let me
give you the chief blunders.
The most wrongheaded idea
Jubilee ever entertained is
that of clean government and
sound nancial management.
The President and Deputy
President in particular are
now notorious for having
dismayingly low tolerance to
corruption.
As a result, morale in the
public service as well as the
enterpreneurial class has
dissipated. It is impossible to
govern without corruption.
Dismantling networks
of crooks in and around
government is bad government
and terrible leadership.
On this one, Jubilee has
utterly failed. No doubt about
it. Refusing to acknowledge
that corruption and
incompetence are the lifeblood
of government and heartbeat
of power is simply absurd.
Look at the laptops. Despite
all advice to the contrary,
Jubilee stuck to its pledge
of providing laptops with
learning content to each child
joining Class One. They said
that they wanted to empower
children to rule the modern,
ICT-driven world early
enough, and to free teachers
for value added roles like
mentoring and coaching.
Government totally failed to
see the role of dysfunctional
and analog systems in building
strong and resilient characters,
and ensuring a consistent
failure and drop-out rate
compatible with the need for
mnimum-wage labour in a
growing economy.
Writing on dusty ground
using ones digits and
spending millions on writing
and textbooks has become an
immutable national custom
that must never be touched.
How will Kenyans survive
if they are not in touch with
prehistoric and precolonial
practices in the education
sector? Of what use exactly
is modern education at the
Cradle of Mankind?
Then there is the outrageous
matter of roads, railways and
whatnot. Government calls
it infrastructure. We have a
century-old railway line which
is enough for us and our
childrens children. People
cannot understand all the
fuss about Kigali, Bujumbura,
Kampala, Juba and Ethiopia.
What happens in neigbouring
countries is not our problem,
and if they need goods
transported, they can sort
themselves out.
Infrastructure is not a
priority. We can subsist on
obsolete utilities and grow the
economy just ne.
This is the reason why in
their wisdom and patriotism,
underworld cartels and corrupt
syndicates were promptly
deployed to paralyse these
absurd initiatives through
interminable intrigues
and litigation. Against a
government that has never
thought of using its power
to compel courts to let the
Executive have its way, this
was as easy as pie.
When it comes to the youth,
the Jubilee Alliance is as
clueless and lost as a babe in
the woods. Cord mooted the
illustrious Marshall Plan of
setting aside several billion
bob to enable the youth dig
trenches and clear bushes.
The Kazi Kwa Vijana
initiative was meant to show
Kenyan youth the value of
literal sweat, and the love its
government had for them. It
was also meant to provide a
slush fund needed to oil the
engine of corruption.
By all accounts, KKV will go
down in history as a visionary
empowerment programme.
Contrast this with the Sh6
billion Uwezo Fund, or the
programme to allocate 30
per cent of all government
procurement opportunities
to youth, women and the
disabled, or the Youth Fund.
The youth have no business
accessing loans. Who said they
want to engage in business
in the rst place? No Uwezo
Fund is required to clear
bushes.
If you think that is
enough, then you do not
know us. As NGOs have
taught us, criminals and
suspected criminals enjoy full
constitutional protection. On
the other hand, their victims
enjoy only heavily qualied
constitutional protection.
The human rights of
thieves, terrorists, rapists
and robbers must always be
upheld, especially when they
are armed to the teeth, preying
upon law-abiding Kenyans.
The government has been
going about the place, dealing
with crime and terrorism in
a heartbreakingly decisive
manner. Undocumented aliens
are being deported. Armed
criminals who use police
ocers and civilians for target
practice are nding themselves
out of operation.
Without a doubt, the
government is harming its
chances of re-election by
standing with Kenyans on the
matter of security. It is putting
the rights of innocent Kenyans
before the rights of vicious
brigands. Again, this is a
spectacle of sorry leadership.
We could go on and on about
the governments obvious
failures. All these failures by
the government do not bode
well for national stability or
growth. The opposition must
resist these ideas and call
for an immediate return to
business as usual. It is the only
way forward.

messaging in the Presidency

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
UNFAIR KENYANS. Kenyans never cease to
amaze, remarks Kanyi Gioko, adding that always at
the butt of unfair criticism are the usual targets,
who include police and politicians. Proof of this, he
adds, is the fact that the death in a car bomb blast
at Pangani Police Station recently did not attract
as much attention as the tight skirt of the trac
policewoman in Kiambu. Also, the MPs who rejected
the proposal to pay Anglo Leasing companies Sh1.4
billion have not received any accolades. We must be
consistent in our opinions for them to hold water.

LET THEM PAY. But George Gachuru is not at
all impressed by the vociferous opposition to the
payment of Sh1.4 billion to Anglo Leasing companies
by some MPs. Says he: Lets see some maturity and
less emotion. We are tired of the shooting from the hip
and usual bravado by those seeking cheap publicity.
According to him, the critics should let Attorney-
General Githu Muigai and Treasury Cabinet Secretary
Henry Rotich carry out their executive mandates and
hold them to account later.
PAY WHOSE MONEY? How come some senior
government ocials who vowed never to pay any
money to the corrupt Anglo-Leasing cartels have now
done a complete somersault? asks Stevenson Karanja,
without naming names. He says he is surprised to
hear that these are the same people who are now
relentlessly pushing for the money to be paid out.
The zeal in the bid to pay is astonishing and has now
become a priority, overtaking national insecurity and
youth unemployment.
DONT FORGET US GUVNOR! As Machakos
Governor Alfred Mutua dishes out development
goodies to areas under his jurisdiction, Daniel Musembi
is worried that Muthesya Ward in Masinga constituency
could be overlooked due to its proximity to Gatanga in
Kiambu County. Says he: We have suered a lot, what
with poor roads, delays in issuing title deeds, lack of
water and electricity in homes and schools. We have
been waiting in vain, and now hope Dr Mutua will not
forget us. His contact is musembidaniel41@gmail.com.

B
eing a Kenyan is a wonderful
experience especially in a global
context where you have opportunity
to interact with other nationalities.
Indeed, it is uplifting that Kenya is
becoming famous, not just in Hollywood
but also at the White House where
President Obama is at home with the
countrys tag.
That said, some events are obnoxious
for they dent the good image we have
earned ourselves over the years. The orgy
of terrorist violence and poor security
remedies, the road carnage, and runaway
corruption, are ailments for which our
leadership must nd immediate cures.
We must realise that Vision 2030
is unattainable without a secure
environment where business can thrive
and people are assured of safety.
Terrorist attacks in our major cities
are a reminder that our security plans
are either failing or unproductive. Our
security agencies must refresh themselves
on the basics of operational skills before
they start thinking of complex strategies
to combat terrorism.
It is quite unfortunate that we seem to
overlook safety when handling emergency
situations like the bus explosion in
Mombasa where crowds proved to be
an impediment to the smooth ow of
emergency services.
One can be forgiven for making a
mistake once or twice, but repeating the
same mistake continually is inexcusable;
it is sheer negligence.
Proper screening of passengers before
boarding public service vehicles should
have been a standard procedure by now
following numerous attacks on such
vehicles. Lets forget, for the time being,
the debate of where the responsibility for
enforcement lies.
Fighting terrorism is not a haphazard
process. Our national security providers
should have in place a coherent and
eective strategy whose results can be
measurable and demonstrable.
All success stories in business, politics
and security operations are associated
with credible leadership that is the driving
force behind such eorts. Bold leadership
is needed for such a war to gain popular
support which is critical. For instance,
Americans rallied behind General David
Petraeus to lead the war on terror in
Afghanistan.
While condemning the heinous and
cowardly attacks in Mombasa and
Nairobi, it is important to recalibrate our
operational strategies, and reorganise
leadership to drive counter-terror
operations and restore national security.

Should Igad countries dispatch an armed unit to stop ghting in South Sudan?
JAMES OLOO: Igad countries such
as Uganda, Kenya and Sudan have
already taken sides in the ghting
in South Sudan and, therefore, their
presence will only intensify the war.
It is only the UN that can succeed in
stopping this genocide.
DAN TUMBO: No. This will create
more disunity among the warring
parties. Only dialogue can end this
unfortunate scenario in South Sudan.
LINCOLN KINYUA: Even when
the worlds best detectives and sol-
diers are deployed, they will still not
make it unless they do away with
all human beings there, which is not
the ultimate goal. There is need for
South Sudan to accept dialogue.

due. Let Igad show the world what
its made of.
GITHUKU MUNGAI: Riek Machar

DEBATE QUESTION
Will pulling KDF
out of Somalia curb
terrorist attacks
against Kenya?
Send your comments to:
mailbox@ke.nationmedia.com
R
ecent blasts in Nairobi and
Mombasa have rekindled
debate on the continued
presence of KDF troops in the
troubled nation of Somalia.
Since the country went into the
neighbouring country in pursuit of
Al-Shabaab terrorists, many lives
have been lost in retaliatory attacks
by the Islamic fundamentalists.
The scale and gravity of the
attacks have had some pundits
rethinking the whole idea of keep-
ing our soldiers in Somalia. Can we
really continue to bear the burden?
The USA is a good example of a
nation which withdrew from occu-
pation of foreign countries and left
the citizens to take charge of their
security matters.
Sight of foreign troops
Upon assuming oce, President
Barack Obama sanctioned the
withdrawal of the US soldiers from
Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then,
the American interests have been
spared attacks by the Islamic fun-
damentalists across the world.
Mr Obama was guided by the
wisdom that many nationalities
hate the sight of foreign troops on
their soil. Kenya should borrow a
leaf from the American success
story. Pulling our KDF forces from
Somalia remains the most viable
option for the country.
We cannot continue drawing the
wrath of the Somalis for occupying
their republic. Our political leader-
ship must give the idea serious
thought. I hope the President and
his Deputy will listen.
Kenya has already sent a clear
signal to the insurgents that it is
capable of crushing them. Ethio-
pia pursued them inside Somalia.
Uganda also hit them following an
attack in Kampala. Why not emu-
late the two nations in dealing with
the terror menace? We are paying a
heavy price both economically and
in terms of loss of lives.
BERNARD AMAYA, Nairobi
Security wanting
It has now become a common
thing for Kenyans to wake up to
breaking news explosions
that leave Kenyans dead and some
critically injured. Of late, Kenya has
been in the spotlight, with blasts in
major towns. This is a clear sign
that our security is wanting, which
should worry us.
The frequent attacks have been
blamed on the presence of the KDF
in Somalia, with some asking Gov-
ernment to withdraw the troops.
But countries like Ethiopia and
Uganda also have troops in Soma-
lia. Why are they not experiencing
such attacks? Why has Kenya be-
come an easy target where these
terrorists can easily drive on a high-
way and throw an explosive inside a
moving bus or a church?
These are the questions the po-
lice, the intelligence service and the
government should answer.

Emails from correspondents
Debate on African culture healthy, but keep away the emotion
The last article I wrote on Wrong advice my father
gave me raised quite a furore including hate-mail, a
lawsuit threat and some bad blood in the family. But
the intention was to provoke debate on African cul-
tures and traditions.
I have problems with parts of African culture, such
as the Mswati Phenomenon! King Mswati was edu-
cated at Eton, the alma mater of princes Charles, Wil-
liam and Harry, who then proceeded to Cambridge to
be nurtured in etiquette. Yet he exploits culture, and
now has 14 wives, and counting.
The second problem regards male circumcision.
Kenyans malign others on account of either being cir-
cumcised or not. Since the majority are circumcised,
they tend to look down on the foreskin, totally igno-
rant of the fact that 67 per cent of the worlds popula-
tion is uncircumcised. Its a clear case of a minority
discriminating against the majority. Such positions
have caused severe social conicts in history.
My other problem with male circumcision is the
timing. Most communities circumcise just before
children proceed to secondary school, which is ap-
proximately age 12. In most cultures, circumcision is
supposed to signal transition from childhood to man-
hood, with 12-year-old men as a result! I respectfully
submit that such a child is not a man! The Xhosa cir-
cumcise at age 19 to 20. Now those are men.
DAUDI MWENDA, Nairobi
Cotu successfully organised this
years Labour Day celebrations last
week at Uhuru Park. This was de-
spite the rivalry with Pusetu, a new
outt of three unions that represent
the welfare of some sections of gov-
ernment workers and civil servants.
Cotu remains the premier work-
ers umbrella. Despite enjoying State
support, Pusetu must have realised
that they lack the muscle to operate
as a rival to Cotu.
Labour Cabinet Secretary Ka-
zungu Kambi, who was vocal in sup-
port of Pusetu beat a hasty retreat.
The Jubilee regime needs to adhere
to the principle of tripartite relations
that exists within the labour culture

KEN WAFULA, Eldoret
Executive should learn
to keep o union aairs
To reduce terrorist attacks, rst
map where everybody lives. This
would be equivalent to a national
census day only that the census sta
would be trained on security.
Therefore, the President could
declare a two-day national holiday
for the census sta accompanied by
security agencies and KRA to get
details of everybody in their homes,
hospitals hotels, prisons, airports
and elsewhere. All areas of business,
schools would be shut down.
From there, all comings and go-
ings would be reported either at
KRA or CID. This way, terrorists
would have a hard time living among
us either in hotels or residential ats.

I wish to support sentiments
by Senate Majority leader Kithure
Kindiki and Elgeyo-Marakwet Sena-
tor Kipchumba Murkomen that Gov-
ernors ensure devolution works and
do not establish oces in Nairobi.
The truth of the matter is that
governors are misusing funds meant
for development at the counties by
creating unnecessary oces.
The two leaders have been persist-
ent on their call on governors to be
serious. As Mr Murkomen stated,
the governors should instead estab-
lish more cities in their counties.
Governors also plan meetings out
of their counties, wasting money. At
this rate, expect a chorus soon on
doing away with counties.

TSC: GO TO HELB: Reference is
made to a letter by Victor Onwenga
(Nation, May 1), titled Shocked by
TSC. First it is inconceivable that
an editor would write a headline that
blatantly accuses TSC of wrongdo-
ing, yet the content of the letter
clearly indicates that TSC has done
its part in deducting and remit-
ting the loan amount to Helb. The
teachers only problem is that the
money deducted from his salary and
remitted to Helb did not reect in
his Helb account. Let the teacher to
follow up the case with Helb.
MIRIAM SOGO, TSC
UNWANTED GUESTS: Kenya has
been generous to many people from
many countries for too long. We have
found ourselves vulnerable because
of our generosity. The government
should take the refugees back to
their countries. We know that there
will be opposition, but lets do what
will help us: ush out foreigners who
do not add value to this country.
CAROLINE GITALI, Nairobi
I concur with James Ombegas
letter in yesterdays Nation. South
Sudanese have an extravagance only
matched by their arrogant attitude.
PETER GITHENDU, Nairobi
OUTSMART TERRORISTS: In a
span of 24 hours, our country was
rocked with blasts. The terrorists
have now decided to hit us like never
before, starting with churches, bus
stops and even police stations. The
trend is to attack, then leave us won-
dering where next their attacks will
be. These attacks need to stop. Our
security agencies need to pull up
their socks and outdo these ruthless
killers. For how long will we watch
as our beloved perish, leaving chil-
dren orphans and mothers without
children?
RISPER KWAMBOKA, Nakuru
KENYAS DILEMMA: That the gov-
ernment participated in court pro-
ceedings at the Queens Royal Court
and agreed to pay colossal amounts
of money to the shady Anglo Leas-
ing could be a travesty of justice. Its
bizarre enough to pay for goods not
delivered, especially when the one
paying is as poorer as Kenya. Ken-
yas hand is now tied and the only
way out is to pay as every days delay
attracts Sh200,000, money which
could be used to feed thousands.
The case becomes complex for the
government because it pays it is
damned and if it doesnt, it could be
charged with contempt. Gosh!

M
achakos Senator
Johnstone Muthama
has failed to stop his
imminent arrest for charges
relating the Sh1 billion sale of
Malili ranch.
The High Court in Nairobi
yesterday declined to issue
restraining orders against
police after as he requested in
an application.
The Senator had moved to
court for orders to stop his
imminent prosecution over
the alleged fraud of Sh1 bil-
lion in the sale of 5,000 acres
of Malili ranch.
A report by the Director
of Criminal Investigations
which was forwarded to the
Director of Public Prosecu-
tion had recommended that
he and six others be arrested
and charged.
Was not imminent
Declining the request, Mr
Justice David Majanja upheld
the DPPs argument that the
leaders arrest was not im-
minent as the DPP had not
yet made a decision on the
matter.
As per the DPP, the arrest
is not imminent, I therefore do
not see the need for issuing the
temporary orders sought, he
ruled.
His lawyer, Mr John Kham-
inwa, had argued that the
case would be jeopardised if
the restraining orders were
not granted as Mr Muthama
would be prosecuted .
The Senator wants the DPP,
the Inspector-General of Po-
lice, the Director of Criminal
Investigations and the At-
torney-General stopped from
prosecuting him.
Former Permanent Sec-
retary Bitange Ndemo, Law

former Lands Commissioner
Zablon Mabea, Mr Peter Mutua
Kanyi, Mr Julius Waweru Kil-
onzo, Mr James Waweru and
Mr Alphonce Munene Mutindo
were also named in the land
sale scandal.
Mr Muthama said he got
involved in the matter in
2009 when he was invited by
people who wanted to stop the
burial of a Mr Josiah Muruka
who m they claimed had sold
their land.
After he man was buried, he
met a Mr Kanyi whom he had
not known before and was the
alleged acting chairman of the
ranch to enquire on the alleged
sale, he stated. It is then that he
learnt the land had been sold
at Sh200,000 per acre.

The government has ordered
a probe on how land which was
set aside for public utilities
as required by law was taken
over and sold to private de-
velopers.
The land was formerly
owned by the Malili ranch
company in Kilome constitu-
ency of Makueni county.
Kilome district commis-
sioner Julius Maiyo said the
setting aside of land meant
for utilities is a condition
which must be fulfilled by
any land company that has
decided to sub-divide land to
its members.
On Sunday, Kilome MP Mrs
Regina Ndambuki, the DC and
other faithful were forced to
worship under a tree after
they found their church de-
molished.
Mrs Ndambuki and MrMaiyo
had come to join faithful at the

Church minister Rev James
Nyamai said despite the mis-
hap church service would go

INVITATION TO TENDER
Pursuant to Regulation 21 of the Environmental Management and Coordination (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, 2003, the
National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environmental Impact Assessment Study Report for the above
proposed project.
The Proponent (GZ Industries Kenya Limited) is proposing to set up an Aluminium Beverage Can Factory oil Plot LR No. KJD/ KA-
PUTIEI-SOUTH/ 3875, about 6 kilometres past Sultan Harnud Town in Enoretet Village within Sultan Hamud area of Nkama Location,
Kenyewa Division of Mashuru SubCounty in Kiijiado County
The project will encompass the following: production / factory plant, accommodation and recreational facilities; a dinning/ kitchen facili-
ties, an office block, changing rooms, clinic, gate houses, road works and storm water drainage facilities, perimeter wall / fence, external
service utility areas (diesel storage, LPG storage, compressor/ vacuum pumps, cooling towers etc.), external walkways and landscaping,
waste water treatment facility.
The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures:
IMPACTS MITIGATION MEASURES
Soil erosion Proper planning of site clearing or disturbance of the natural vegetation.
Isolated sites with installations and frequent human presence that require re
vegetation will be surrounded by less palatable native species to act as plant screens and make less attractive to forag-
ing wildlife.
Wash areas shall be placed and constructed in such a manner so as to ensure that the surrounding areas (including
groundwater) are not polluted.
Air quality Provide personnel with Personal Protective Equipment & Clothing (PPE&C) such as dust masks, boots among others.
Mechanism should be put in place to ensure PPE&C are specific for the activities at hand and are always worn within the
project sites;
The stockpiles of earth generated during construction works, unpaved access roads and areas used for handling fine
construction materials should be palliated with water regularly in order to suppressed evolution of particles;
All machinery and equipment should be maintained in good working condition in order to minimise emissions to accept-
able standards;
Train construction and delivery trucks drivers on pre-cautionary measures that enable curb emissions for example
advise on techniques to reduce dust evolution especially when driving in areas of dense human settlement or nearing
the project site to avoid creating dusty conditions; techniques to conserve fuel and reduce emission by switching off the
engines when vehicles are idling;
Construction trucks delivering materials to site should be covered in order to
minimise spread of fugitive emissions to the surrounding areas;
No burning of materials should be permitted at the project site;
Use clean energy to fuel project vehicles, equipments and machines in order to reduce air pollutants
Risk of leaks and
spill
Conduct regular maintenance of site equipment and machinery to ensure leakages are controlled or detected early;
Project vehicles and equipment should be serviced according to manufacturers requirements to limit release of exhaust
emissions;
Investigate the possibility of fitting catalytic converters in machines with engines so as to convert harmful substance in
the exhaust fumes to less harmful substances;
Safety procedures for fuel storage and re-fuelling should be well understood and implemented by site staff, and oil
residuals including waste oil,lubricants, used filters, should be carefully collected and stored for safe disposal, in order to
prevent spillover effects of contaminant hydrocarbons into storm water or groundwater resources;
Protect project area from fire by posting warning signs in area where hydrocarbon fuels are used;
Observe the requirements of the emission control regulations
Occupational
health and safety
issues
Ensure the working hours are controlled and that employees are not allowed to extend the working hours beyond all
acceptable limit for purposes of gaining extra pay;
Ensure that all construction works close to existing infrastructure is supervised from the relevant authorities to guide
activities such as excavation near the oil pipeline and railway line;
Ensure that ALL requirements as stated by KPC approval are adhered to.zd all phases of the project development;
Educate community, visitors and employees (both direct and indirect) against interfering with KPC infrastructure for
example pipelines; and-, ,
Ensure appropriate road safety signages are strategically placed and drivers adhere to the requirements of such signage;
Erect speed breaks where human and vehicular traffic have high 1#iteraction
opportunities;
Avoid activities likely to activate mudslides or rockfalls when working ill steep areas for example avoid pouring excess
water in muddy areas i or steep slopes with soil; and
Noise and vibra-
tion
Conduct periodic noise measuring and monitoring to determine levels and extent of harmful noise;
Clearly label the high noise areas.
Provide PPE (hearing protection) to persons operating within or visit identified high noise areas;
In order to meet noise level requirements, the works equipments should be equipped with standard noise attenua-
tion features. Machines that exceed acceptable noise limits should be equipped with silencers or lagging materials or
specially designed acoustic enclosures;
Inform local residents when construction activities are likely to generate excessive noise in order to minimize disruption
to local residents;
Sensitise truck drivers to switch off engines while offloading materials; to avoid gunning vehicle engines or hooting
especially when passing through sensitive areas such as churches, schools, residential areas and hospitals.
Pollution The management should ensure that solid waste is collected in a centrally placed area and the person responsible for
collecting the waste is licensed by NEMA and the County Government of KaJiado to collect and dispose of waste.
The management should ensure that liquid waste from the proposed site is directed to the appropriate drains to the
proposed waste water treatment works and further back to the natural water drains from Mashuru hills (to the south west
of the proposed project site).
Traffic .Manage-
ment
The management team should seek relevant approvals from the Ministry of Roads/ Kenya National Highways Authority
(KENHA) who may then advice on the creation of an access entrance so as to reduce traffic congestion oil the main
highway;
The management should assign personnel to be in charge of traffic within the property/ factory premises in order to avoid
traffic congestion within the property;
The possibility of communal modes of transport for employees should be explored.
Fire Management Construct a band wall between the factory perimeter and the KPC oil pipe line to the north east of the proposed plot- to
protect both the GZ Industries facilities and the KPC oil pipeline incase of a fire incident or accident;
Ensure that all persons on site where anti-static footwear and clothing to avoid ally static ingnition;
Place portable fire extinguishers at Suitable locations, according to the activities in the operation programme in conform-
ity with the Factories and other Places of Work (Fire Risk Reduction) Rules, 2007;
Development of fire emergency procedures and pinning them up in a place where all workers can access them;
Training all staff on fire safety policy and procedures;
Allocating a fire assembly point;
Loss of livelihood Provide earlier notice to all affected parties concerning the development;
Dismissal procedures should be compliant with the Employment Act, 2007;
Residence to be notified prior to any decommissioning of the proposed factory buildings and any other facility on site.
The Full report-of the proposed project is available for inspection during working hours at:

Now police ocers to be vetted in their regions
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
The second phase of police
vetting will be done in the
regions where the officers
are based.
National Police Service
Commission chairman
Johnstone Kavuludi (right)
said the new arrangement
will also create chances for
the public to directly partici-
pate in the vetting.
Mr Kavuludi said, unlike
in the past, when officers
appeared before the vetting
panel in Nairobi, they will now
be assessed in their areas of
jurisdiction.
We dont wish to call
senior officers to Nairobi
and jeopardise security in
their regions. We are going
to where the ocers operate
from, said Mr Kavuludi.
Close to 1,100 ocers in the
ranks of senior superintend-
ents and superintendents will
appear before the panel.
Initially, public participation
was through correspondence
to the commission.
Mr Kavuludi said the pub-
lics involvement is meant
to help in determining the
ocers suitability to serve
the country based on their
integrity and competence.
This process is not meant
to victimise and criminalise
any ocer but to scrutinise
ones suitability to serve the
public, he said.
Speaking in Kisumu while
on a tour of western Kenya,
Mr Kavuludi said the com-
mission would rst visit the
47 counties in two weeks to
educate the public and collect
their views on the vetting.
It is out here in the eld
where the rubber meets the
road. We are here on an as-
sessment tour to determine
how operations are done,
he said.
Announce results
Once the vetting is over,
the commission will then
announce the results in Nai-
robi, he added.
In case some ocers feel
aggrieved or that they have
been dismissed on baseless
grounds, we will advise them
to seek legal redress. We are
a constitutional body and so
we respect the rule of law,
he said.
Mr Kavuludi rubbished
claims that the commission
was at loggerheads with the
Inspector-General of Police.
He said the two enjoyed a
good working relationship
and that rumours of feuds
were peddled through the
social media.
The commission was
formed to manage the
human skills of the Police
Service. And that is where
our jurisdiction ends, said
Mr Kavuludi.

M
ary Wambui has re-
tained her Othaya
parliamentary seat after
the Supreme Court set aside a
decision of the Court of Appeal
that had nullied her election.
The seven judges of the
Supreme Court unanimously
agreed that the petition challeng-
ing Ms Wambuis election should
not have been entertained by the
High Court in the rst instance
as it was led out of time.
In the circumstances, Ms
Wambuis contentions are al-
lowed and the Court of Appeal
decision that nullied her elec-
tion is declared null and void,
said Chief Justice Willy Mutunga
on behalf of the bench.
The judges endorsed the
declaration by the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Com-
mission on March 4, 2013, that
Ms Wambui had won the Othaya
parliamentary seat.
Ms Wambuis victory was
challenged by Mr Peter Gichuki
Kingara, who claimed that the
election was marred by some
irregularities.
The initial petition at the
High Court was, however, dis-
missed.
Mr Kingara went to the Court
of Appeal, where judges Alna- shir Visram, Martha Koome and
Otieno Odek declared that the
election was not free and fair.
They gave him a second chance
to battle it out with Ms Wambui
in a by-election.
Ms Wambui (left), through
lawyer Cecil Miller, then moved
to the Supreme Court in a bid
to protect her seat, claiming
that the Appellate Court had
exceeded its powers in cancel-
ling her victory.
The judges agreed with Mr
Millers submissions that the
initial case at the High Court
should have been instantly
struck out for being led out of
the stipulated timeline.
The lawyer had argued that the
petition was led six days after
the set deadline and it followed
that both the proceedings before
the High Court and the Court of
Appeal were null and void.
Respond to issues
Mr Miller had also told the
Supreme Court that the Appel-
late Court sitting in Nyeri had no
jurisdiction to base its decision
to cancel Ms Wambuis election
on issues that were not presented
before it.
He said the court had denied
her a chance to fully respond to
the issues.
The judges were mandated
only to interrogate issues of law
and not dwell on factual errors
that made them reach a decision
not supported by any provision
of the law.
The decision cannot, there-
fore, be allowed to stand since
it was an infringement of Ms
Wambuis right to a fair trial,
said Mr Miller.
He said the Appellate judges
dwelt on issues not addressed
during the initial petition at the
High Court.
They erroneously cited cases
of irregularities at some polling
stations, which the High Court
had ruled were not widespread
to warrant a by-election, he
added.
The Supreme Courts verdict
has put to an end long-run-
ning legal and political battles
between Ms Wambui and her
opponent, Mr Kingara.

Gang rains
terror in
Kitengela
BY NATION REPORTER
Members of a criminal gang
went on the rampage in Kitengela
town, beating residents and stoning
motorists.
The gang from Athi River was on
a revenge mission following Sun-
day evenings clashes with rivals
over a plot of land in Athi River in
which two people died and scores
injured.
The Sunday clashes was triggered
by a gang from Kitengela which
wanted to uproot their rivals from
a plot of land owned by East African
Portland in Athi River.
Yesterday, the daring Athi River
group rst marched to Kitengela Po-
lice Station where they informed the
ocers that they had come to cause
mayhem as the law enforcers had
failed to arrest their attackers.
They then poured into the streets
of Kitengela where they beat up
people indiscriminately and pelted
motorists with stones.
Three people were injured and
an eight-seater matatu, which was
found parked in a yard - was set
on re. The injured were treated at
Shalom Community Hospital.
We are still carrying out an
operation and will ensure that
the culprits are arrested and pros-
ecuted, Isinya Police boss, Edward
Masibo told Daily Nation.
Police in Kajiado said they have
arrested two suspects in connection
with deadly clashes.

MURANGA
Dont blackmail governors, MCAs told
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Senate has cautioned Members
of the County Assemblies (MCAs)
over use of impeachment to black-
mail governors.
Senate Majority Leader Kithure
Kindiki and his Elgeyo Marakwet
colleague Kipchumba Murkomen
at the weekend said impeachment
should never be used as a tool for
blackmailing, extorting and intimidat-
ing governors.
Use it judiciously for the benet
and accountability of people of Kenya.
If you do that, the Senate will support
you, said Mr Murkomen.
They said as the Senate they will
only look at the law, evidence pre-
sented before acting. They spoke
during a church function in Muranga
town.
Mr Murkomen gave the assurance
that senators will not ght county
assemblies for doing their work by
demanding accountability.
The leaders who spoke at a church
function in Muranga town on Sunday
urged governors not to reverse the
gains of devolution by encouraging
centralism.
Prof Kindiki said governors should
only have oces in their counties and
abandon their quest for leasing houses
in the city for their oces.
The Tharaka Nithi Senator said they
have an oversight role over resources
allocated to counties.
We are waiting. If governors try to
misuse public funds by having their
oces here in Nairobi, they will meet
the wrath of the Senate, he said.
Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi
said they shall not allow anybody to
play with the Senate as it had a clear
Constitutional mandate.

The Senate was composed of mature
leaders who would only support im-
peachment if there were good and
sound reasons.

T
he Senate is set to hold a special
sitting today to discuss a mo-
tion by Embu county assembly
seeking to impeach Governor Martin
Wambora a second time.
Barely three months after the House
endorsed his removal, Mr Wambora
appears to face the same fate.
The TNA governor is also unlikely
to get any political cover from the
Jubilee Coalition senators.
Senate Majority Whip Beatrice
Elachi told Nation Mr Wamboras
political alliances would not play
any part in the discussions over
whether he should once again be
shown the door.
Its unfortunate the issues that
impeached Governor Wambora last
time are the same facts, said Ms
Elachi.
She went on: To make it worse,
the number of county assembly
members who voted for his removal
have gone up to 23 members, from
22 last time.
Ms Elachi said the Senate had
no choice but to impeach Mr
Wambora.
Last week, Deputy Majority Leader
Charles Keter suggested that Deputy
Governor Dorothy Nditi should take
over as county boss.
Unlike last time, Mr Wambora does
not have a court order stopping the
Senate from commencing the im-
peachment proceedings.
People cannot keep on hiding
in courts so we are going to chase
Wambora away, said Mr Keter, re-
ferring to the orders the impeached
governor had sought earlier in the
year. Eventually they will come back
to us and the decision on whether or
not they stay in oce will be made
by us.
When the Embu governor faced the
Senate earlier in the year, he did so
with a court order stopping them from
acting on his case until his petition
was heard and determined.
But the Senate deed that order
and went ahead to make history by
removing him from oce.
Mr Wambora then returned to the
High Court in Kerugoya and eventu-
ally won after the judges reinstated
him.

ew guidelines for groups seek-
ing Uwezo Fund loans will bar
many applicants, youths in
western Kenya have protested.
They termed as a hurdle the condi-
tion that group members should have
been contributing savings using the
table-banking model.
According to the guidelines posted
on the Uwezo Fund website, a group
applying for a loan needs to be operat-
ing a table banking (chama) structure
where members make monthly con-
tributions according to the groups
internal guidelines.
Mr Dennis Menya, who chairs the
Kisumu Youth Caucus, said most of
the groups that existed before the
new rules came into place had a com-
munal contribution format that does
not capture individual members
contribution.
Table banking has not been popu-
larised before, especially for groups
from rural areas. It will take longer be-
fore groups can reorganise themselves
into the required contribution format,
he told Nation on phone yesterday.
Ms Risper Makana, a youth leader in
Kisii County, said the number of loan
applications were few because most
groups had not been operating under
the table banking model.
Most groups rarely bank their
money as they prefer to use M-Pesa,
she said.
Mr Japhet Kimtai, a youth leader
in Konoin, Bomet County, said the
table banking requirement was likely
to bar many groups from applying for
the funds.

T
he government should
make university edu-
cation free instead of
planning to raise fees in in-
stitutions of higher learning,
a Cord member of Parliament
has said.
Budalangis Ababu
Namwamba said the recently
announced plan to increase
fees in public universities
should be shelved.
As the opposition, we are
totally against the increment
of university fee. We should be
talking about free university
education so that we can pro-
mote learning in the country,
Mr Namwamba said at Tigania
Catholic Church in Meru on
Sunday.
The MP said the Coalition
for Reforms and Democracy
(Cord) would oppose the
fees increment.
The public universities
students organisation has
warned that the increment
will prevent students from
poor families from attaining
higher education.
A few weeks ago, the
Commission for University
Education (CUE) announced
that the fees for regular stu-
dents would be raised to
Sh26,000 from Sh15,000 per
semester from September.
CUE argued that fees paid
in public universities had not
been reviewed for more than
10 years despite the rising
cost of living.
Meanwhile, Meru county
government has maintained
that it will go ahead with
plans to recruit nursery school
teachers.
The county executive in
charge of education, Ms Helen
Nangithia, said the Constitu-
tion mandated the county
governments to operate pre-
primary education and early
childhood programmes.
The Education Act stipu-
lates that we run and manage
early childhood education
related matters. We will
continue to employ ECDE
teachers in our county, Ms
Nangithia said.
Already, more than 800
teachers have been hired and
deployed in various schools
across the county, she said.

Hospitals need
40,000 nurses,
says minister
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
More than 40,000 nurses are
required to address shortage in
public hospitals.
Health Cabinet Secretary James
Macharia said yesterday 1,200
nurses were needed every year to
tackle the shortage.
The Cabinet Secretary said the
number of women delivering in
public hospitals had increased
from 44 to 66 per cent.
Following the introduction of
the free maternity services initia-
tive in public facilities, nurses are
overstretched due to the increased
number of mothers who are deliver-
ing in the institutions, Mr Macharia
said during the launch of Interna-
tional Nurses Week at Kenyatta
National Hospital in Nairobi.
Reduced deaths
He said this had reduced ma-
ternal mortality by 8.5 per cent,
saving the lives of 5,500 mothers
per year.
At the same time, child mortality
has dropped by 15.3 per cent which
means that we are saving the lives
of 16,000 children per year from
the previous 100,000.
I would like to appeal to nurses
to overcome the challenges as they
strive to provide the highest com-
mitment to excellence, he said.

Eye hospital moved to new site after protests
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT

A multi-million-shilling eye
hospital rejected by Kisumu
West residents will now be
built in Muhoroni.
The Sh500 million hospital
will be built at a site acquired
from a willing seller, ac-
cording to Governor Jack
Ranguma.
Lions International, the
investor, had threatened to
quit following a dispute over
the 16-acre plot earmarked
for construction of the hos-
pital by the defunct county
council.
The county council had
given Lions International
the green light to build the
eye hospital.
However, Korando villagers
said they were not consulted
and that they said they would
only support the initial project
comprising a dispensary, foot-
ball pitch and police post.
Ground-breaking
The community rejected
the proposal just ve days
to the ground-breaking cer-
emony.
Mr Ranguma accused some
local politicians of inciting
residents against the project,
saying investors seeking to
do business in Kisumu had
become wary after such re-
sistance.
To avoid losing the eye
hospital project, we had to
buy another plot. We may end
up turning away investors if
people continue to resist
them, he said.

The arrest happened at

Iten Town, Elgeyo-Marak-

moments after the 17-year-old
girl had started screaming, at-
tracting public attention.
The teenager was taken to

the student and her boyfriend

The boyfriend even left a

couple did not have enough
money for the drugs, said
Mr Biwott.
He said the police received

they suspected that the girl

A court has halted the
transfer of Laikipia County
headquarters from Nanyuki
to Rumuruti.
The plan would have to
wait for determination of a
case challenging the shift,
the High Court in Nyeri ruled

The order was given after the
applicants lawyer, Mr Robert

Laikipia Governor and County
Assembly had begun vacating
the headquarters.
Mr Sammy Ndungu and
other applicants want the
governor and the assembly
stopped from relocating the
county base.
They allege that the public
was not involved in the deci-
sion.
However, the governors
lawyer from Miller & Co. ac-
cused Mr Kimunya of basing
his arguments on news reports
without proper documents.
There is no information
in the County Assemblys
Hansard directing the reloca-
tion of the headquarters, the
lawyer said.
It would be impossible to
trafer the county headquarters
to be relocated to an empty
land, she argued.
Construction at the new
location would take at least
two years, she added.
The lawyer sought two weeks
to enable her to get relevant
documents for the case.

BATTLE TO CONTROL UKRAINE
RAGES ON
Rebels and government forces take on

Juba, Monday
S
outh Sudan troops trying
to recapture the oil hub of
Bentiu from rebels have
been forced back amid heavy
gunre.
Government troops advanced
towards the town centre over
the weekend with an armoured
column.
But the BBCs Alastair
Leithead, who is in the UN
compound on the outskirts,
saw a contingent of troops in
retreat.
The town has changed hands
several times since fighting
broke out in South Sudan last
December.
He saw government soldiers
withdrawing past the UN com-
pound where he is based on
Monday. Government forces
moved into the town, the capital
of Unity State, on Sunday.
But it appears at least a section
of the troops have been forced
to retreat.
Consequences
It is unclear which side cur-
rently has control of the town.
But as the battle for the town
rages, US Secretary of State
John Kerry warned South Su-
dans warring factions against
walking away from ceasefire
agreements and recently agreed
peace talks, saying the implica-
tions of such a move would be
serious.
Let me make clear: if there
is a total refusal by one party or
the other to engage into a legiti-
mate promise which they agreed
on... not only might sanctions
be engaged but there are other
serious implications and possible
consequences, he said on a visit
to Angola yesterday.
So far, US-backed diplomatic
eorts to end a four-month long
civil war in the worlds youngest
country have struggled to gain
traction, amid allegations that
both sides have committed war
crimes.
South Sudanese troops and
rebels are both reported to have
committed crimes including
mass killings, rape, attacks on
hospitals and places of worship
and recruiting child soldiers.
There is accountability in
the international community for
atrocities, there are sanctions,
there are possible... peacemaking
forces, there are many number of
possibilities, Kerry said.
The parties need to recognise
that they signed a cessation of
hostilities agreements, both
of them, and the international
community is prepared to take
steps to see that it is honoured,
by putting additional troops.

rebels Riek Machar recently

Election posters for vari-
ous candidates were used
sparingly. All were pasted on
hard board then hang, mostly
on lamp posts, meaning that
even their removal after the
elections would be easy. With
the restrained use of posters,
disputes over one candidate
defacing opponents campaign
materials were non-existent.
Rarely are cases of candi-
date X removing candidate

under the weight of gigantic
public address equipment

HONG KONG, Friday

A
uthorities launched an air and
sea rescue operation yesterday
to nd 11 crew members from
a Chinese cargo ship after it collided
with another vessel and sank just out-
side Hong Kongs teeming waters.
Four helicopters and more than 20
ships from China and Hong Kong
were deploying to the waters near
Po Toi, an island lying at the edge
of Hong Kongs territory where the
ship sank in the early hours of the
morning, ocials said.
Two cargo ships collided and one
of them sank, a police spokeswoman
told AFP. Authorities are still trying
to determine the exact location of
the sunken ship, a marine depart-
ment spokeswoman told AFP late
Monday afternoon.
Aerial footage of the scene shown
on Hong Kong television showed an
oil slick on the surface of the sea
where the ship is believed to have
gone down.
Crowded waters
A fire department spokesman
said there were 12 people in total on
board, with police conrming that
one male was later rescued and sent
to hospital.
Aged 46, he was plucked from the
sea by a passing shing boat, and
suered minor injuries to his hands
and feet, police said.
China said it was sending three
helicopters and more than a dozen
ships to the scene, according to the
ocial Xinhua news agency, while
Hong Kong sent a helicopter and
eight rescue vessels.
The rescue is still ongoing and the
11 crew members are still missing, a
marine department spokeswoman told
AFP on Monday afternoon.
The department said the collision
took place two nautical miles (roughly
four kilometres) south-west of Po Toi,
just outside Hong Kong maritime ter-
ritory.
The 97-metre long Chinese cargo
ship, the Zhong Xing 2, was carrying
cement from the Northern Chinese
province of Hebei to the city of
Haikou in the nations southern
island of Hainan, the Marine De-
partment said.
It collided with a 300-metre long
container ship, the Marshall Islands-
registered MOL Motivator, whose
crew members are all safe, it said.
The rescue work is carried out
and coordinated by the Guangdong
rescue coordination centre, a spokes-
woman from the department added.
Hong Kongs waters are notoriously
crowded.
Hundreds of vessels, from wooden
sampans to enormous container
ships, ply the shipping routes that
criss-cross the territory, one of the
worlds busiest ports, every day.
A collision in October 2012 between
a high-speed ferry and a pleasure boat
claimed 39 lives in the citys worst
maritime disaster for over 40 years.
The tragedy shocked the Asian nan-
cial hub, which prides itself on its good
safety record.
The launch was carrying employees
of the Hong Kong Electric utility and
their family members and friends to
watch a reworks display marking
Chinas national day.

SLAVYANSK, Monday

S
everal people died in intense
fighting yesterday on the
fringes of Ukraines rebel-held
town of Slavyansk, Interior Minister
Arsen Avakov told reporters in the
combat zone.
The fight continued as Interim
Ukraine premier Arseniy Yatsenyuk
is set to hold talks in Brussels on May
13 with the European Commission to
examine further support from the 28-
nation bloc, the EU executive said.
The Commission is determined to
help Ukraine, and to make sure that
Ukraine has all the support it needs,
in the short- and long- term, to un-
dertake the political and economic
reforms that are necessary for the
country, a statement said.
The meeting between the Kiev
government and the 28 members of
the Commission will be followed by
a joint press conference by Commis-
sion president Jose Manuel Barroso
and Yatsenyuk.
The EUs foreign ministers last
month approved a one-billion-euro
($1.4-billion) package to help over-
come the crisis-torn countrys deep
nancial problems. In Ukraine,
Avakov said several people have
died at a checkpoint held by troops six
kilometres from the gunbattle, which
had gone on for nearly two hours.
He did not immediately say what
toll each side suered, but an AFP re-
porter there saw ambulances carrying
eight wounded commanders.
Rebels told AFP that ghting was
also under way at the southern en-
trance to the city, where the military
was using helicopters and rockets,
according to one rebel.
One Ukrainian military commander
said the shooting involved automatic
small arms and heavy weaponry, be-
lieved to be from armoured vehicles
the rebels captured last month as
well as other big-calibre weapons
and mortars.
This is war
The commander also said there are
Chechens with the insurgent gun-
men, conrming information from the
rebels themselves that they had been
reinforced with ghters from Russian-
controlled Crimea and Chechnya.
They are waging a war on us, on
our own territory, Avakov told report-
ers. My mission is to eliminate the
terrorists.
The minister and the commanders
said the Ukrainian troops tightening
a perimeter around Slavyansk the
epicentre of the armed insurgency in
Ukraines east were avoiding ring
on civilians .
The only tactic is to advance
little by little towards the centre of
Slavyansk, where the rebels have bar-
ricaded themselves in the town hall
and SBU security services building,
Avakov said.
The head of Ukraines national
guard, Stepan Poltorak, also at the
checkpoint with Avakov, said we
have bottled them up in the centre
of Slavyansk, but added that our
adversaries are well-trained and
well-equipped. (AFP)

GENEVA, Monday
The World Health Organisa-
tion yesterday warned that polio
has reemerged as a public health
emergency, after new cases of the
crippling disease began surfacing
and spreading across borders
from countries like Syria and
Pakistan.
The conditions for a public
health emergency of international
concern have been met, WHO
assistant director general Bruce
Aylward told reporters in Geneva
following crisis talks on the virus
long thought to be on the road to
extinction.
If unchecked, this situation
could result in failure to eradi-
cate globally one of the worlds
most serious vaccine-prevent-
able diseases, he added. The UN
health agency convened the two-
day closed-door emergency talks
amid concern that the virus, which
currently aects 10 countries, was
spreading.
Between January and April
this year-usually considered the
low season for polio transmission-
three new importations of the virus
were detected, from Pakistan to

Cameroon to Equatorial Guinea,
WHO said. It recommends citizens

The African aviation sector is urg-
ing governments to invest more in
upgrading infrastructure to reduce
the cost of air transport.
Assembling in Nairobi for the
third Africa Airlines Association
(AFRAA) Suppliers and Stakeholders
Convention, the delegates noted that
infrastructure constraints contribute
heavily to the high cost of operations
on the continent, with limited prots
for airlines.
We welcome infrastructure
improvements at Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport, O.R. Tambo
Airport, Cape Town International
Airport, Maputo, Addis Ababa, Luanda
and Windhoek, said Afraa secretary-
general Elijah Chingoso while opening
the convention yesterday.
Mr Chongoso said overall prot-
ability of Africas aviation industry
hovers around break-even, only
needing the governments to resolve
the high-cost environment.
Africa is the third fastest growing
aviation region after the Middle East
and Asia, with passenger numbers
expected to rise from 67.7 million to
150.3 million by 2030. But the high
cost and wanting safety records ad-
versely aect the sector.
On average, jet fuel is 21 per cent
more expensive in Africa than in the
rest of the world, making air travel
unaordable to many.
Governments need to disclose
hidden costs such as taxes and fees,
as well as eliminate taxes or cross
subsidies on international jet fuel in
line with bilateral agreements, said
International Air Transport Associa-
tion vice-president Raphael Kuuchi.
The 2010 Oxford Economics study
shows that aviation contributes Sh24.8
billion to Kenyas GDP and Sh4.6 bil-
lion to the taxman, while generating
46,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Intra-Africa passenger trac, cur-
rently at 27 per cent of the total trac
on the continent, is set to grow. But
stakeholders are worried that prots
are still rare. In 2013, African airlines
made a loss of Sh8.6 billion.

T
he government plans to create an
independent authority to oversee ef-
forts to ght cyber crime both in the
public and the private sectors.
The proposal is included in the draft
Cyber Security Strategy authored by the
Ministry of Information and Communica-
tion through the ICT Authority, which was
released yesterday for review by members
of the public.
It is envisioned that the body will be
given the mandate to investigate abuse of
information, communication and technology
(ICT) networks and infrastructure. It will
also guide the government on policymaking
in cyber security.
The entity will be responsible for devel-
opment of specic regulations, oversight of
cyber-security implementation and compli-
ance across the public and private sectors,
reads the strategy.
Oversight on the management of gov-
ernment and private sector assets that are
identied as critical infrastructure will also
fall under this authority in order to protect
public interest. In the report, the ministry
notes that rise in technology usage in Kenya
has been matched by growth in incidences
and sophistication of cyber crime.
According to recent statistics from the
government, Kenya records losses of at least
Sh2 billion ($23.3 million) annually due to
various forms of cyber crime.
While the advent of the Internet in the late
1980s was marked by password guessing
and self-replicating code as the main forms
of cyber crime, Kenya is currently facing
more advanced attacks, some of which may
be categorised as cyber-based terrorism and
organised crime.
A 2013 report by the Telecommunication
Service Providers of Kenya (TESPOK)
indicated that more than 50 per cent of
cyber-attacks and malware recorded on
Kenyan computers originated from China.
The countrys capability to tackle these
crimes is not quite as developed.
Overall, GoKs (Government of Kenyas)
cyber security posture is still relatively im-
mature in the face of the growing complexity
and sophistication of cyber threats, reads
the strategy.
warfare, fraud and online pornography also
fall within the umbrella of cyber crime.
The ICT Authority wants the government
to make budgetary allocations to fund activi-
ties of the proposed body in future.
Public private partnerships are also
pitched as possible funding models to
drive the cyber security agenda. Public
education on the threats associated with
use of the Internet and computers will also
be carried out.
Disjointed projects by various government
ministries, departments and agencies have
sometimes crippled some of the ministrys
eorts in the past. The strategy calls for in-
formation sharing as well as an over-arching
policy dening the responsibilities of each
government entity.
Recently, the government has stepped
up eorts to tackle cyber crime. The Com-
munications Commission of Kenya (CCK)
has set up a Computer Incident Response
Team (KE-CIRT) whose mandate is to
coordinate response and management of
cyber incidences nationally.
Further, the director of Public Prosecu-
tions, Mr Keriako Tobiko, says his oce
has established a unit dedicated to tackling
cyber crime.
The strategy proposed by the ICT Author-
ity calls for development of an over-arching
penal code and associated legislation to deal
with cyber crime.
This sort of criminal activity is partly de-
ned as illegal access, acquisition of data and
interception. Illegal online gambling, cyber

A
new twist to the Anglo
Leasing controversy
has emerged, with the
revelation of a letter by former
Treasury PS Joseph Kinyua
asking the anti-corruption
agency and the Attorney-
General to seek a Sh3.8 billion
refund from tycoon Deepak
Kamani.
Giving reference to audit rm
PwCs report, Mr Kinyua, now
President Kenyattas Chief of
Sta, indicated that the govern-
ment paid suppliers more than
the value of works, goods and
services delivered under each
of the contracts to the tune of
Sh3.83 billion. The letter was
written when Mr Kinyua was
the Treasury PS and Mr Keny-
atta the Finance minister.
Contracts overpriced
The Kenya Anti-Corrup-
tion Commission (KACC)
facilitated and had input in the
report, which revealed that all
the contracts were overpriced
and possibly tainted with cor-
ruption, Mr Kinyuas letter
dated April 9, 2011 reads.
Under the five partially
completed contracts, except
Project Flagstaff, which is
being resolved differently,
PwCs valuation suggests
that the government paid the
suppliers more than the value
of work, goods and services
delivered.
The ve contracts include
the Kenya Prisons II Project,
signed in January 2004 and
valued at Sh2.6 billion, the
Administration Police Tel-
ecommunication Equipment
deal signed in June 2002 and
valued at Sh4.4 billion, and
the Kenya Police Addendum
3 signed in June 2002 and
valued at Sh2.4 billion.
The other two contracts,
both signed in July 2002, are
the Kenya Police Airwing Sup-
port II valued at Sh960 million
and the Meteorology Project
valued at Sh2.6 billion.
Not cost-eective
Pursuing recovery of the
overpaid amounts will take
long and may not be cost
eective. Closure of the les
may not be a better option,
the letter adds.
Mr Kinyua then said the rec-
ommended strategy is to cancel
the contracts and recover the
amounts owed under a process
guided by both the KACC and
the State Law Oce.
The Anglo Leasing ghost
continues to haunt the gov-
ernment following two cases
pitting First Mercantile Se-
curities Corporation (FMSC)
against the Republic of Kenya
and Universal Satspace (USS)
versus Kenya.
The cases arose from two
contracts signed by the Min-
istry of Information on July
11 2002 for the purchase and
supply of satellite telecom-
munication equipment and
communication network for
Postal Corporation of Kenya
(PCK), at a contract price of
$11,787,000 (Sh1 billion at cur-
rent exchange rates).

Bank launches automated revenue collection system
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Diamond Trust Bank yes-
terday launched a service to
automate revenue collection
from motorists parking in
towns, bus park and monthly
boda boda licence fees.
We are excited to be the
rst bank to go live with an
electronic solution for parking
fees collection in the counties.
This partnership with Kisii
County is a demonstration of
our commitment to enhancing
business and making life con-
venient for our customers.
In this digital era, custom-
ers are already making most
of their transactions through
mobile phones. Parking fees
should be no exception, said
CEO Nasim Devji.
Residents will be able to pay
using mobile phones (M-Pesa
and Airtel Money), Visa or
MasterCard branded cards.
The deal will also see
branded DTB county revenue
collection points set up in the
CBD, where residents can pay
for parking through any of the
methods.
Verify payments
Inspectors from the county
government will be able
to verify payments using a
motor vehicles registration
number.
Transporters will also be
able to pay their bus park fees
as they leave the terminal.
The monthly boda boda
payments can also be made
at any of the various county
revenue collection points in
Kisii Town.
We look forward to ex-
tending this service to more
counties, said Ms Devji.
The Kisii Governor, Mr
James Ongwae, said the
system would streamline
revenue collection and seal
revenue leakages, while mak-
ing it easier and faster to pay
parking fees.

The extremists, who want to
create a hardline Islamic state
in northern Nigeria, are also
suspected of abducting nearly
300 schoolgirls from the town
of Chibok in Borno state, which
has borne the brunt of the vio-
lence.
Their disappearance three
weeks ago has triggered protests
across Nigeria. Finance Minister
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Davos
summit regular, and Mr Nwanze
Okidegbe, the chief economic ad-
viser to President Jonathan, have
assured delegates that their safety
will be paramount.
In total, over 6,000 security
personnel, consisting of police
and army, will be deployed, cov-
ering a secure area the size of 250
square kilometres.
Security issues dominate daily
life in Nigeria. Central states are
riven by sectarian strife while
simmering tensions in the oil-
producing south frequently boil
over.
Social and economic inequali-
ties in the Muslim-majority north
are viewed as a key factor in the
Boko Haram insurgency, with
mass unemployment and lack of
investment seen as a rallying call
to militancy.
The situation stands at odds
with Nigerias new-found status
as Africas biggest economy and
leading oil producer, whose sus-
tained rates of high growth have
caught international attention.
Nigerian Aliko Dangote is Afri-
cas richest man with an estimated
net worth of $24.3 billion, while
some 23,000 Nigerians are ex-
pected to be dollar millionaires
by 2017.
Yet the majority of Nigerias
170 million people still live on
less than $2 a day, corruption
is endemic, governance poor,
infrastructure inadequate and
access to health and education
lacking.
Nigerias government has
pledged to increase investment
in the north as part of its recent
soft power plan to tackle Boko
Haram and is seeking to diver-
sify its economy from a reliance
on oil towards agriculture and
services.
As such, the conference hosts
problems reflect those facing
many African countries struggling
with long-standing issues such as
poverty and instability.
The conference theme is Forg-
ing Inclusive Growth, Creating
Jobs, with hopes that greater
co-operation between countries
in terms of trade, innovation,
investment and strengthened
institutions can unlock the con-
tinents potential. (AFP)

Chinas manufacturing
sector on the decline
BEIJING, Monday
Chinas manufacturing sec-
tor contracted for a fourth
consecutive month in April,
HSBC said today, the latest
sign that the worlds second-
largest economy is slowing.
The British banking giants
purchasing managers index
(PMI) came in at 48.1 for last
month, a tad up from 48 in
March but weaker than the
48.3 reported in its preliminary
report on April 23.
A gure below 50 indicates
contraction while anything
above points to growth.
The index tracks manufac-
turing in Chinas factories and
workshops and is a closely
watched indicator of the health
of the economy.
The report comes after the
governments official PMI
reading last week, which rose
to 50.4 in April from 50.3 in
March. Compared with the of-
cial reading, the HSBC survey
compiled by information
services provider Markit and
released by the bank focuses
more on smaller enterprises,
and uses a smaller sample.
The figures showed do-
mestic demand deteriorated
but remained sluggish, while
the new export orders and
employment sub-indices both
contracted. (AFP)

team projects can make the best progress.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
Not everything will be as it appears. Pay
attention if you are warned about, or suspicious

SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22

criticism, or just the wrong tone of voice can
escalate domestic dramas.

Gabriela has gured out that the suicide
attempt was a way Antonia used to make them
take her to the hospital. Alejandro believes
she is right and calls Rodrigo but he tries to
calm him down saying that she could never
overpower her guards; she is too well guarded
and could never escape.

REGISTERED OWNER:
NICHU INVESTMENTS LIMITED
It has come to the notice of the Directors of Nichu
Investments Limited that certain individuals are irregularly
and secretly negotiating with third parties for the sale of
the above property in total disregard of the lis pendens
principle with the clear intention of defeating the cause
of justice as the property is the subject matter in the
following proceedings filed by Nichu Investments
Limited against Pan African Credit & Finance Limited
(in Liquidation) and Deposit Protection Fund Board
still pending determination by the Court:-
1. Nairobi High Court Civil Case No. 88 of 2014
2. Court of Appeal, Nairobi Civil Appeal No. 109 of 2012
3. Court of Appeal, Nairobi Civil Appeal No. 184 of 2006
This is therefore to notify the general public that the
property above is NOT FOR SALE until the Court
determines the rights of the parties to the dispute.
Anybody engaging in such negotiations is doing so at
their own risk.

We miss you more than words can say.
In our hearts you will always stay
Loved and remembered every day.

Though you are physically absent, you are ever spiritually present with us.
Your wisdom, strength, foresightedness and ability to make everyone feel
special are but a few qualities that remain an inspiration to us.
Allah took you, it was His will but in our hearts you still remain.
Fondly remembered and sadly missed by your wife, children, family and

K
enya Sevens technical bench
will take steps to address in-
consistency as the team heads
to London, the nal leg of the IRB
World Series, this weekend.
The team is in a tricky Pool B where
they will meet Canada, who beat them
at Glasgow Cup quarter-nals, Samoa
and USA. Canada, Kenya and Samoa
are placed sixth, seventh and eighth
in the series with 82, 72 and 69 points
respectively after last weekends Glas-
gow Sevens.
Canada outclassed Kenya 14-5 in
Cup quarters and hosts Scotland
10-7 in the semi-nals on their way
to their maiden Cup nal where they
lost to New Zealand 54-7. Samoa lost
to Argentina 12-29 in the Bowl semis
while USA lost to Japan 14-19 in Shield
semis. USA, who have had a poor run
this season, are placed 13th with 38
points. They have reached main Cup
quarters twice - in Tokyo and Hong
Kong.
Kenya led former World champions
Wales 12-19 before losing 19-24 and
again fell to another former World
champion in Fiji, leading 5-17 before
losing 17-24 in Pool C in Glasgow.
However, Kenyas 33-19 win over
Argentina gave Paul Treus charges
a lifeline to the Cup quarters where
they lost to Canada 5-14.
Kenya claimed her fourth vic-
tory against South Africa in
14-7 success in the Plate
semis before falling to
England 5-26 in the
final. We could
have scaled the
rankings by two
places but the
inconsistency
is worrying us.
We need to have
control at that
level of play, said
team manager
Steve Sewe.

Boda boda riders will be
safety marshals in Nakuru
RALLY TITBITS | Abdul Sidi
B
oda boda riders will
be deployed as Safety
Marshals in the next
round of the 2014 Kenya Na-
tional Rally Championship as
organisers try to get rid of a
menace that has aected the
sport negatively.
While other road users have
featured negatively in recent
events, boda boda riders have
featured more prominently in
issues related to safety on the
stages during the running of
the KCB-sponsored rallies.
Clerk of the course, Frank
Tundo, said he has already had
a meeting with the local riders
along the anticipated route of
the Rift Valley and Motor
Sports Club to be centered
around the Kerio Valley and
Flouspa respectively.
We have agreed they will
stop their businesses on the
day and also be our guards
at every volatile part of the
route to make sure rally cars
are not faced with on-coming
cars, boda bodas and other
human trac.
We will pay them a special
day allowance and also provide
them with reective materials,
which they have already agreed
to and are quite happy to be
included in the team, said
Tundo.

Nakuru is in top gear as route
plans for the fourth round of
the KCB-sponsored series re-
vives the old memories of the
famous Kerio Valley and Flospa
as part of its strategy for this
years itinerary.
The one-day event will
start from Eldama Ravine
before rally action moves to
the two famous stages of the
rally, which had become so
synonymous with past edi-
tions of the Safari Rally with
scenic features.
The two sections, in addition
to the two-kilometer Spectator
Stage will be repeated to make
sure the event is entertaining
for everyone, according to
Frank Tundo.
Tundo said it will be a navi-
gators nightmare and also a
stamina-testing time for the
drivers as the stages will be
very tight and with many cor-
ners where rally cars will hardly
be able to reach fourth gear.

FC Leopards will unveil Briton
Trevor Morgan as head coach
tomorrow.
Morgan, who will be introduced before
Ingwes match against KCB in the KPL
Top Eight semi-nals, yesterday watched
the team train at Kenya Technical Train-
ing College in Nairobis Parklands.
Leopards secretary general, George
Aladwa, said the club management set-
tled on Morgan after a long search.
This time we have settled on Mor-
gan as a long-term professional coach,
Aladwa said yesterday.
Morgan, who has coached several
teams in France, India and Australia, has
taken over from James Nandwa who was
sacked last month. As a player, Trevor,
57, was a centre-forward.
His first coaching role was as an
assistant to Terry Cooper at English
Championship side Birmingham City.
Chemelil remain unbeaten
Playing under assistant coach
Abdalla Juma on Satur-
day, Leopards broke
their 16-year jinx
against Tusker
FC, beating
the brewers 1-0
in their Kenyan
Premier League
match in Machakos
on Saturday.
The weekends matches also saw Gor
Mahia beat Sony Sugar 1-0 at Afraha
Stadium as league debutants KRA
oored Mathare United to rise to third
on the log on 20 points, just three shy
of KOgalo.
Gor had temporarily surrendered the
league lead to Chemelil Sugar on Sat-
urday after the sugarmillers overcame
Thika United 1-0 at home but a Dan Sse-
runkuma inspired win at Afraha hauled
the champions back to the summit.
Chemelil remain the only unbeaten
team since the season began.

Road to Brazil 37 Days to G -AL!
A
t the obvious risk of slight-
ing England supporters,
let me state I have never
been a fan of that countrys
football.
Do not get me wrong. I appre-
ciate the fact that they invented
the game and just about every
sport with an international fol-
lowing.
Blame that on the once
powerful, ubiquitous and cul-
ture-altering inuencing of the
now extinct British Empire.
The English even boasted, then,
that the sun never set on their
empire.
But back to the subject mat-
ter. In every World Cup England
consider themselves amongst the
favourites; at least that is what
we read in their newspapers and
the international media that is,
to a certain level, inuenced by
that country.
Even with this disingenuous
bias England have never gotten
close to capturing the Jules
Rimet Trophy (now Fifa World
Cup Trophy) since their one o
success on home soil in 1966.
And even that win was blighted
by controversy.
England beat Germany 4-2
in the nal after extra time with
a hat-trick (the only one ever
scored in a World Cup final)
from Geo Hurst.
With the game deadlocked
2-2 deep into the rst half of
extra time Hurst pounced on a
ball to send it smashing against
the German upright, bouncing
vertically down on the line before
being cleared. The referee, after
consulting the linesman, awarded
the goal. Debate has raged on
ever since on whether the ball
crossed the line or not.
Italy denied legitimate goal
England were again involved in
controversy at the 1986 World
Cup, only they were seemingly
the victims. Diego Maradonas
famous - or is it infamous? -
Hand of God goal contributed
to Argentinas 2-1 victory over
England in the quarter-nals.
Television replays clearly
showed Maradona punching
the ball into the net.
The referee later blamed his
error on a hemorrhoid treatment
he was taking that aected his
sight. The 2002 World Cup co-
hosts South Korea progressed
through the knock-out stages
to the semis seemingly on ref-
ereeing serendipity. Versus Italy
in the second round the referee
ruled o side a perfectly legiti-
mate Italy goal. Against Spain in
the quarters, South Korea again
benetted from two disallowed
goals that television replay
showed were legal.
Here in Kenya, fans, innocent
by standers, players and property
have suered the wrath of the no-
toriously violent AFC Leopards
and Gor Mahia fans over referee-
ing decisions these yobs consider
not good for their course.
In one felled swoop, Fifa can
eradicate all these controversies,
pains and damages by introduc-
ing video refereeing. The so
called goal-line technology to
rule on whether the ball crossed
the line or not, make tight calls
on o sides, penalties and send
os should have been introduced
years ago.
Cricket, rugby, tennis, athletics
et al use of video over the years
has been a runaway success. It is
hard to understand why football,
easily the most popular sport in
the world, remains a laggard to
technology. What an own goal.
cnyende@ke.nationmedia.com
economist Andre Gunder Frank de-
scribed it. Pablo Arriaga, in Requiem
for an Illusion, puts the Brasil case in
the most laboured terms. He sees that
in everything a Brasilian does even
when he sleeps - he pays much money
to foreign capital.
This is simply because he sleeps
on a bed made of Brasil wood quite
abundant in the Amazon. Although
the logging is done in Brasil, the bed
is made in the north of the Americas.
And that is just the cost of sleep.
The fellow wakes up in the wee hours
of the morning, he has to switch on his
electric light and that is paying foreign
capital more money since as much as
this electricity is generated from Brasil;
the distributor of this necessary force
is Petrobras, a foreign concern. He
hobbles to the sink which is made in
a foreign capital and brushes his teeth
using Colgate; a product of the Colgate
Palmolive of the United States.
Our poor fellow thereafter, feeling the
fresh foreign breath, dresses in lovely
attire manufactured under license in
the foreign factories of Rio de Janeiro
and Sao Paulo. He drives o to work
at Barclays Bank a British company
in a Volkswagen manufactured in Sao
Paulo under licence from the Germans,
who produce no more combies or bee-
tles. At midday, our Brasilian will stroll
to McDonalds and enjoy a heavy lunch
that gives the First World - Americans
- more cash.
Fighting tooth and nail
When Corinthians play Palmeiras in
one of the worlds greatest rivalries,
the Brasilian takes his seat to enjoy
the game. He doesnt know that the
ball was manufactured by Adidas, who
are Germans, and the players boots
from Puma. And yet this is a football
superpower.
The life of the Brasilian is not unique
at all; we are not in the business to
parody what they have done or they
do but we must admit that our case
looks rather similar to theirs.
We thump our chests at a dot of
economic growth and even money
may be spent upon the fanfare but we
just know our place: in the clutches of
foreign capital.
There are many who may not know
that Coca-Cola itself ocial Fifa part-
ner - is a foreign concern or that we
are just bottles with foreign formula to
add water and carbon dioxide to. But
do we play football too?
Brasil is Third World just as we are.
All the stadiums they have built are still
owing foreign companies gazillions of
dollars. What matters at the moment
though is that the World Cup is in Brasil
and even though the citizenry is ght-
ing tooth and nail against economic
slump, the home of the beautiful game
is hosting the bonanza.
Should Fifa adopt goal-line technology in Brazil?
M
any a memorable foot-
ball matchesare often
remembered not for the
aptitude of the match ocials, or
the lack of it, but by little incidents
that have a profound eect on the
nal score.
It could be an erroneous oside
call, a cheeky eort from a player
akin the infamous Hand of God
that set the Diego Maradona-led
Argentine team on its path to
World Cup glory in 1986, or better
still that one disputed goal.
The football world is replete
with incidents of disputed goals
which have greatly enriched the
fabled history of the game.
A classic example is that Geo
Hurst strike from the 1966 World
Cup nal between England and
West Germany at the old Wembley
Stadium.
Over the years, the story
has been told and retold
with most German fans
upholding the view that
they were cheated out of
victory in one of the most
memorable World Cup
nal matches.

Football is taken so seriously in
Brazil that people stop working to
watch their team during the World
Cup. And banks shut down three
hours prior to each match.

Cup nal. 173,000 people attended

in 1950 at the Maracan Stadium.
against Germany disallowed
in a bizarre reversal of Hursts
goal.
Closer home, sometime late
last season, Gor Mahia defender
David Owino did a Hurst on
Sony Sugar which almost sparked
o a riot in the small sugarbelt
town of Awendo.
Coming at a time when Gor-
Mahia was closing in on its rst
league title in almost two dec-
ades, that goal practically hauled
our clueless football authorities
between the devil and the deep
blue sea.
The million dollar question
was whether or not the centre
referee, NasurDoka, was right
in awarding the goal. For days
on end, football authorities ip
opped on the matter.
Exceptional cases
In the end, it took Gor Mahias
resolve to win the league regard-
less of the outcome of that match
to put the small matter of Owinos
controversial goal to rest.
I could go on and on this sub-
ject; but why all these anecdotes?
I have a gripe with Fifas decision
to allow the use of goal line tech-
nology at the forthcoming World
Cup in Brazil.
Why employ the use of tech-
nology in the most humanly
of sport such as football? Why
take away all these talking points
that make football the fascinating
sport that it is?
What will the media have to
write home about Brazil if there
no such controversial incidents of
a disputed goal to report?
Granted, Fifas eort to enforce
fair play makes a lot of sense, but
you dont get to see a Geo
Hurst ghost goal in every
other World Cup. These
are exceptional cases.
But now that Fifa
has gone the me-
chanical way with the
goal line technology, I
keep wondering what
they will introduce
next; touch line
t e c hnol ogy
to determine
whether or
not the ball
has gone out
of play? God
forbid!

again involved
in controversy

EUROPEAN STANDINGS
London
A
fter the seventh home
defeat of a wretched Pre-
mier League campaign
against Sunderland on Satur-
day, Manchester United
will be desperate to make
amends when they host
Hull City tonight.
United last lost seven
times at home in the
1973-74 season, when
they were relegated to the
old Division Two, and their
1-0 loss to Sunderland
also appears to have
ended their chances
of sneaking into the
Europa League.
Sixth-place Tottenham
Hotspur currently occupy
the nal Europa League
berth and need only a
point from their final
home game against
Aston Villa to secure
their place in next
seasons competi-
tion.
With a seventh-
place nish therefore
beckoning, United
will be playing for
pride alone when they welcome FA
Cup nalists Hull to Old Traord
for their last home game of the
campaign.
While the club begin to look to the
future, amid reports that Netherlands
coach Louis van Gaals appointment
as manager is imminent, tonights
game will also provide an opportu-
nity to look to the past.
After eight years of service, captain
Nemanja Vidic will play his nal home
game for the club before leaving to
join Inter Milan. Fellow defenders
Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra,
both of whom are out of contract at
the end of the season, may also be
playing at Old Traord for the nal
time. (AFP)

Manchester City midfielder Yaya
Toure admits family loyalties are being
stretched to the limit after the title race

Citys 3-2 win at Everton put them in

Toures brother Kolo and his Liverpool
side -- favourites for the championship
before last weekend -- are unlikely to win
it without help from other teams.
The Reds were due to play their
penultimate match of the season at

been really dicult. You cant imagine
how dicult, Yaya (right) said of the
ght within the family.
Your family have to try to be balanced
-- they are divided. Sport is unbelievable
in that it can break hearts.
If it is my brother who wins it I would
still be happy for him. It would be amaz-
ing for him, but whatever Im doing I
always try to win -- Ive always been
the same. I will only lose if someone is
better than us.
But its still so tight. Liverpool still
have a chance and so do Chelsea -- they
beat us twice, dont forget. Its going to
be exciting.
The family dont want to choose a
side. We dont know how it will end.
They just say the best team will win
it. They know that both teams have the
quality to do it so lets wait and see.

L
awyers yesterday
moved to court to stop
the planned payment
of Anglo-Leasing debts by
the government.
They sought legal redress
as MPs Junet Mohamed (Suna
East) and Samuel Gichigi
(Kipipiri), and Senator
Muriuki Karue (Nyandarua)
accused the government of
neglecting its duties, only to
later blame lawmakers for the
illegal payments.
Through lawyers James
Aggrey Mwamu, Antony
Khamati and Ms Nyathira
Muthuma, the Law Society
of Kenya said the payment
of Sh1.4 billion ($12 million)
was a breach of the Constitu-
tion and against the will of
Kenyans.
The decision to pay is
baseless and based on unten-
able grounds. The company
that is being paid wasnt
even registered, let alone
allowed to do transactions
of such big amounts, yet the
government wants to pay,
said Mr Mwamu.
He argued that the foreign
court that delivered the judg-
ment requiring Kenya to pay
the Anglo-Leasing money
was biased.
Kenyas solicitor-general
Njee Muturi led several com-
plaints over how the case was
being handled at the foreign
court but the learned judge ig-
nored the concerns and went
ahead to make the outrageous
judgment, he said.
He submitted that the judge
also refused to give room for
an appeal to be lodged.
A consent which the law so-
ciety alleges the government
never signed was the ground
to throw out the appeal.
The judge seemed to have
very casually brushed aside
the very strong defences and
counter-claims, and the evi-
dence brought forward by the
Kenyan Government, raising
questions as to whether the
government was ever given
a fair hearing, said Mr
Mwamu.
He argued that the judge
in England relied on infor-
mation being provided by a
lawyer for the plainti, a Mr
Maclaren, on the amounts to
be paid without considering
Mr Muturis information.
Mr Muturi looked help-
less and had no adequate
knowledge of the case, he
said.
On September 5, 2006,
Universal Satspace (North
America) LLC sued Kenya
over $12,366,816 at the Jus-
tice Queens Bench Division

cerns over how the matter
was handled.
Mr Justice David Majanja
declined to give orders stop-
ping the payment but certied
the petition as urgent.

On average, a Kenyan woman
gave birth to eight children at
independence, but this reduced
to about ve in the late 1990s.
Planners hoped we would be
having around two by now but we
are still stuck at ve.
What happened?
Kenyas lost
decade in
family
planning
P.2-3
BY ANGELA OKETCH
aoketch@ke.nationmedia.com
I
n the first three decades of
independence, Kenyan families
began to have fewer and fewer
children as the young country led
sub-Saharan Africa in family planning
campaigns. A hugely receptive
population, herded to the pill by none
other than founding president Jomo
Kenyatta himself, saw the countrys
fertility rate decline from an estimated
eight children per woman in 1963 to
around ve in the late 1990s.
Jubilant policy planners hoped for
more. The trend over the initial 30
years of the nation was encouraging,
so they hoped that, in the next decade
into the millenium, the number of
children per woman would reduce
even further.
They were wrong. The last two
decades have recorded a stagnated
birth rate at around the ve children
per woman recorded in the 1990s.
Yet this is happening at a time when
women are becoming more learned,
more exposed to medical information,
more enlightened and more freed from
the demands of their men.
At independence, one out of every
six children died before their fth
birthday, but their prospects of living
to adulthood have since improved
tremendously as a result of the intense
family planning programmes of the
1980s and 90s.
Still, a lot, it seems, needs to be
done. If the trajectory carved by the
campaign from independence had
continued in its path, Kenyan women
would today be having between two
and three children on average, but
they are still stuck at ve.
This has planners a bit uneasy
because family planning is an essential
component of achieving development
goals for health, poverty reduction,
gender equality, and environmental
sustainability. As the population grows,
you have more and more women
giving birth, which means that, for
sustainability, the number of children
these women are having should reduce
as the mothers increase.
Other countries have achieved this,
but Kenya remains stuck in a rut.
The lost decade of family planning
is clear when you pit Kenya against
global averages; ve children in 1963,
four in 1976, three in 1992 and two
in 2011.
So, why are Kenyans bringing up
families that are more than twice the
average global size? The answer to that
question is found in the most recent
edition of the Kenya Demographic
Health Survey 2013, which indicates
that, today, fewer than half the number
of sexually active women in the country
use contraceptives. When you view
that shocking piece of information
against the backdrop of the nations
high fertility rate, early marriages
(meaning more time within which to
have children), unmet family planning
needs and low education levels, the
signs of the time begin to get a little
bit uncomfortable to live with.
Unmet planning needs
Women who have gone to school
are four times more likely to plan
their families than girls who have
no formal education; yet, as Kenya
becomes more and more literate,
there has been little change in levels
of knowledge of contraceptive methods
since 2003.
And, according to KDHS 2013, one-
quarter of currently married women
in Kenya have an unmet need for
family planning, which has remained
unchanged since 2003. Those unmet
needs are evenly split between women
who want to wait two or more years
before having their next child, and
those who want no more children.
Family planning is for both health
and wealth. When parents plan
their families, they are more likely
to realise their education goals and
have careers to raise family income.
And when countries develop as their
fertility rates decline, the proportion
of women earning wages rises and
their children have greater chances
of success.
But in Kenya, the East African
territory pejoratively referred to as the
teenage nation because of the high
number of girls giving birth at teenage,
the reverse obtains. Here, one out of
three women will have given birth at
the age of 19, according to KDHS 2013.
And such children, unfortunately, are
often uplanned.
So many children in the hands of
so many underage mothers with so
many years to continue their business
of unplanned births eventually
overwhelms the education and health
systems, among many others.
So, what should be done to tame
this teenage pregnancy problem? The
World Health Organisation believes the
answer is quite simple: keep them in
school!
Better access to family planning, the
organisation advises, is greatly aided
by education, and countries that send
their children to class and keep them
there have seen a rapid decline over
the past decade in the percentage of
girls reporting birth before age 15, a
trend attributed largely to a decrease
in early and arranged marriages.

Five children per woman: How Kenya lost family planning battle
As Kenyas population grows, more and more
women are giving birth, which means that, for
sustainability, the number of children these
women are having should reduce. Other countries
have achieved this, but Kenya remains stuck at ve
kids per family. The lost decade is clear when you pit

Five children per woman: How Kenya lost family planning battle
coverstory coverstory
In low- and middle-income
countries, over 30 per cent of girls
marry before they are 18, and around
14 per cent before they are 15. As a
result, more than seven million girls
under the age of 18 the world over
get pregnant annually, according to
a United Nations report released in
October last year.
Schooling, therefore, might be all
that Kenya needs to promote if it
is to recover its lost years in family
planning. Girls who have attended
secondary school, researchers have
found out, start having sex two years
later and have their rst child three
years later than those who have no
education.
A girl with no education is likely to
have her rst child at the age of 19,
while one with secondary education
will most probably have her rst at
age 23. Girls with secondary education
also tend to plan their families and are
four times more likely to use family
planning methods, unlike girls without
formal education.
Research also shows that only one
out of 17 educated girls will not use
contraceptives, but she will have
discussed the issue with a health
care worker.
Education, therefore, is a major
protective factor against early
pregnancies, but, still, slightly less
than half of married women (46 per
cent) in Kenya are using a method of
family planning, 39 per cent of them
are using a modern method and six
per cent a traditional one.
World Bank data shows that, in areas
where the under-ve death rate is high,
the fertility rate is also high; but the
higher the number of children a woman
has, the more likely those children are
to die before their fth birthday.
In Nyanza, for instance, the average
number of children per woman is ve,
with 15 child deaths per 100 births;
Western region records an average of
six children per woman, with 12 child
death per 100 births. Rift Valley also
records six children per woman, with
six child deaths per 100; Eastern and
Central regions report four and three
children per woman, respectively,
and ve child deaths per 100 births.
In Nairobi, the average number of
children per woman is three, with six
child deaths per 100 births.
One third of the Kenyan women
who do not use contraceptives name
health concerns and fear of side
eects as the main reasons for their
decisions. Half of women in Kenya do
not want more children, yet one out of
every three women who need family
planning is not receiving it because
of the cost or the uneven availability
of the services.
This, according to the United
Nations Population Fund, is leading
to a lot of unsafe abortions. The
UNFP reports that at least 200
million women want to use safe and
eective family planning methods, but
are unable to do so because they lack
access to information and services
or the support of their husbands and
communities. As a result, more than 50
million of the 190 million women who
become pregnant globally every year
have abortions which are performed
under unsafe conditions.
Unsafe abortions
Closer home, according to the
Incidence and Complications Report
of Unsafe Abortions in Kenya, Kenyan
women procured 465,000 unsafe
abortions in 2012, contributing to 20
per cent of the total maternal deaths.
This is because one out of every six
pregnancies in Kenya is unintended.
Rift Valley, Nyanza/Western regions
recorded the highest abortion rates
of 64 and 63 per 1,000 women of
reproductive age, respectively. Eastern
had the lowest with 20 abortions per
1,000 women.
The study further indicates that
more than 70 per cent of women
seeking post-abortion care were not
using a method of contraception
prior to becoming pregnant, and
recommends that in order to prevent
unintended pregnancies and the unsafe
abortions that follow, contraceptive
needs must be met and post-abortion
contraceptive counselling and services
provided.
Dr Aggrey Otieno Akula, an
obstetricist gynaecologist, observes
that community attitudes contribute
to the alarmingly high numbers of
unsafe abortions.
Lack of knowledge, myths and
misconceptions, combined with
health provider attitudes, are partly
to blame for these high numbers of
unsafe abortions, says Dr Akula,
adding that the myths make it hard
for uninformed women in rural areas
to accept contraceptives.
Some believe that family planning
causes infertility, reduces a mans or
womans sexual desire, causes birth
defects, and affects ones weight.
If we were to address such fears,
says Dr Akula, more women and
sexually active girls would embrace
contraception, hence reduce teenage
pregnancies and cases of unsafe
abortions.
Decision making dynamics
A research paper by Dr Timothy
Abuya, titled Decision Making Dynamics
on Family Planning Use Among Couples
in Kenya, argues that incorporating
male voices in family planning
programming and policy might have
positive implications on uptake and
fertility related outcomes.
In many parts of Africa, says
Dr Abuya, most family planning
programmes put emphasis on
informing clients on the methods
available and how to use them, but
there are limited eorts placed on
understanding the decision making
processes that clients undergo before
seeking family planning services.
That decision, it often turns out, is
made by the man, so whether or not a
woman is exposed to family planning
information does not matter if her man
does not buy in.
Dr Abuya is also worried that most
of the funding for family planning is
from international organisations
and wonders what would happen if
such donors withdrew or decreased
their funding. Would that be the
end of family planning programmes
in Kenya? he poses.
Lack of
knowledge,
myths and
miscon-
ceptions,
combined
with health
provider
attitudes,
are partly to
blame for
Kenyas high
numbers
of unsafe
abortions.

Theres nothing cool about smoking
BY TOROOTI MWIRIGI
nation@askadoc.co.ke
Dear Doc,
I have heard of cases where
people have amputations as a
result of smoking. How does
smoking cause this and how it can
be prevented? Daniel
Dear Daniel,
Thanks for your question. Long-
term consumption of tobacco, whether
in the form of cigarette smoking or
tobacco chewing, exposes a person
to a rare but serious disease known
as Buergers disease, which aects
the veins and arteries in the legs and
arms. When a person has Buergers
disease, their blood vessels become
inamed, swell and can eventually
be blocked by blood clots, making it
dicult for blood to get to the tips
of the toes and ngers. As a result,
the surrounding skin tissues become
damaged. This can cause gangrene,
which occurs when body tissues are
destroyed as a result of lack of blood,
followed by infection. Normally,
this disease manifests rst in the
feet and hands, but can ultimately
aect larger parts of a persons legs
and arms. The only way to prevent
cigarette-related Buergers disease
is by quitting smoking and other
forms of tobacco consumption.
Unfortunately for people who do
not quit the practice, amputation
of all or sections of a limb might be
necessary.
Dear Doc,
Is there anything such as safe
smoking and what are the eects
of smoking during pregnancy?
Zippy
Dear Zippy,
There is no such thing as safe
smoking. It is just a misconception
used by advertisers to encourage
people to smoke. The different
Cigarette smoking is common in many societies and cultures,
with what was previously known as Eastern Province having
the highest rate of smoking in Kenya. In fact, in some societies
a non-smoker is not regarded as man enough, which acts as
negative peer pressure. The cigarette is usually used as an
introductory drug, since most people who use other drugs such
as heroin and marijuana started o smoking cigarettes. Tobacco
is a slow killer and its eects are very serious since it targets
almost every organ of the body, including the ngers, hair,
lungs, and blood vessels.
FILE | DAILY NATION
Smoking can
lead to Buergers
disease, which
aects the veins
and arteries in
the arms and
legs. It causes
inammation and
swelling of the
blood vessels,
and in severe
cases, blockage
and damage to
the surrounding
tissues,
necessitating
amputation of
the aected limb.
types of cigarettes are harmful to
health and are linked to problems
such as cancers of the lips, throat,
larynx, oesophagas, lungs, among
others. Therefore, whether one
smokes a light cigarette, a pipe, a
cigar, or a menthol cigarette, he or
she still inhales the same amount of
chemicals inhaled by a person who
smokes a regular cigarette. There are
also certain gadgets that are claimed
to minimise the eects of cigarettes.
However, at the end of the day, no
matter how or what you use to smoke
your cigarette, you are placing your
health at risk of all the diseases
associated with smoking.
Women who are pregnant or
planning to get pregnant should
avoid smoking since tobacco
gets into the bloodstream and,
consequently, to the foetus. This
can lead to miscarriage, particularly
during the earlier stages of
pregnancy, premature delivery,
low birth weight babies, as well as
babies born with deformities such
as narrowed airwaves and reduced
lung function.
Dear Doc,
Is it true that smoking can
aect a persons voice?
Concerned smoker
Dear Concerned Smoker,
One of the dangers of smoking
is the eect it has on the voice. The
hot, polluted air produced during
smoking ows directly to the surface
of the vocal cords, causing them to
become dry and irritated. A single
puff of smoke lowers the ability
of the voice box to rehydrate for
about three hours. In smokers, the
vocal cords start to change during
smoking, and if they continue
smoking, these changes become
permanent. Voice changes that can
occur include reduced pitch range,
hoarseness, and vocal fatigue. We all
know women who smoke and sound
like men when they talk!
Laryngitis, which is the
inammation of larynx, is a very
common problem among smokers.
People exposed to second-hand
smoke are also at a risk of voice
change. Many of these are on
their way to getting cancer of the
larynx.
Dear Doc,
My husband is a smoker and
smokes even in the house. What
are the likely eects of exposure on
me and my children?
Anonymous.
Dear Anonymous,
The effects of second-hand
smoke might seem less obvious
to those exposed to it. However, it
can be very signicant, particularly
for those who work or live with a
smoker. The truth is that most of the
smoke that emanates from a burning
cigarette does not get sucked into
the lungs of a smoker, but escapes
into the air, meaning anyone nearby
can inhale it.
Though there are laws
outlawing smoking in public places,
there are still some people who are at
a greater risk of second-hand smoke,
particularly children who regularly
inhale the toxic fumes from their
parents cigarettes. Health problems
in children and infants include
respiratory infections, frequent
4
DAILY NATION
Tuesday

and serious asthma attacks, ear
infections, as well as sudden infant
death syndrome (SIDS). Children
are aected by second-hand smoke
even when a parent smokes in a car
only when the they are not present.
That car ends up being a carrier of
these chemicals, and children react
to this, exhibiting symptoms such as
worsening asthma.
When you breathe in smoke from
a pipe, cigar, cigarette or smoke that
is exhaled by a smoker, it puts you at
a risk of inhaling similar amounts of
chemicals breathed in by a smoker.
Tobacco smoke contains dierent
chemical compounds, with more than
40 known to cause cancers of the lung
and larynx. Some of the chemicals
that enter a persons lungs when
exposed to second-hand smoke are
benzene, hydrogen cyanide, carbon
monoxide, and formaldehyde.
Dear Doc,
I have been smoking for the last
few years. I really want to quit but I
am afraid of what I might have to go
through as a result. Kindly advise on
some of the withdrawal symptoms I
am likely to experience and how to

Concerned
Dear concerned,
The fear of withdrawal symptoms
is one of the reasons most smokers
prefer to continue smoking.
Withdrawal symptoms might include
irritability, poor concentration, loss
of appetite, insomnia, persistent
headaches, and mouth ulcers as a
result of the chemicals present in
the cigarette.
Usually, withdrawal symptoms
last up to 14 days but they are severe
for four to six days. Therefore, it is
advisable to be prepared before
embarking on the journey to
quitting. Find someone to walk
with you through this tough time.
Such people are referred to as
partners in recovery. It could be
a counsellor, spiritual leader, family
member, or even a former smoker.
Formal quitting programmes oer
guidelines such as staged quitting,
which strives to minimise the
withdrawal symptoms.

Larynx is the medical term for the
voice box. It is a very important organ
since it is responsible for speech and
singing. In addition, it has important
biological functions. The larynx is
positioned at the top of the trachea,
which travels down to the lungs and
carries the air that a person breathes.
Men normally have a bigger larynx
than women, which is why they have
deeper voices. If you place your hand
on your throat, you can feel your voice
box vibrating and humming.
When an individual inhales and
exhales, air gently goes through the
larynx.
The larynx itself does not produce
any noise unless the vocal cords
vibrate. The larynx normally contains
two vocal cords and when a person
talks or makes noise, it is the vocal
cords that vibrate as one exhales to
produce the noise. The longer the
vocal cord is stretched, the more
diverse the sounds. An individual can
control the pitch of his or her voice
by making the vocal cords stretch to
various lengths.
Usually, a person does not
consciously think about stretching his
or her vocal cords when talking. One
learns to control his or her vocal cords
and how to change the pitch of his
or her voice during infancy. The noise
produced by the larynx, as well as the
shape of a persons mouth, contribute
to the uniqueness of the sound of a
persons voice. In addition, the manner
in which a person moves his or her
mouth, lips and tongue, alters the way
the noise from the larynx sounds.
The sound of a persons voice can
change throughout his or her life. A
childs voice deepens as he or she
grows older because the larynx is
increasing in size. Any changes in the
shape of the face also alter the sound
of a persons voice. Loss or gain of
teeth can also alter the way a persons
voice sounds.
There are various things that can
cause changes in the way a persons
voice sounds. While some causes
are relatively harmless, others can
All you ever needed to know about the human larynx

be more serious. Overusing ones
voice can lead to straining of the
larynx. A strained larynx can feel sore
and can also make a persons voice
temporarily sound unusual. Taking
enough rest and drinking a warm
beverage such as tea can help in
making a strained larynx feel better.
Growths, viruses, and infections in
the throat or the larynx can cause
changes in the voice. A more serious
condition such as throat cancer can
also cause changes in the sound of
the voice. Smoking can also cause
temporary or permanent changes to
the sound of the voice. If your larynx
remains painful or sore for more than
a few days, consult a doctor.
Curbing bad habits can stop 37 mn premature deaths
Curbing smoking and
drinking, salt intake, high blood
pressure, high blood sugar and
obesity can prevent more than 37
million premature deaths by 2025,
according to an analysis published
on Saturday.
If globally-adopted targets for
reducing these risk factors are met,
the risk of dying prematurely from
heart or lung disease, stroke, cancer
or diabetes will fall by 22 per cent in
men and 19 per cent for women in
2025, compared with 2010, a team
of researchers wrote in The Lancet
medical journal.
Worldwide, this improvement
is equivalent to delaying or
preventing at least 16 million deaths
in people aged 30-70 years and 21
million in those aged 70 years or
older over 15 years, they said.
The targets are to reduce
tobacco use by 30 per cent, alcohol
consumption by 10 per cent, salt
intake by 30 per cent, high blood
pressure by 25 per cent, and to halt
the rise in the prevalence of obesity
and diabetes.
A more ambitious 50 per cent
reduction in smoking by 2025
would reduce the risk by more than
24 per cent in men and by 20 per
cent in women, wrote the team.
They used national population
data and epidemiological models
for their calculations.
Most of the benets will be
seen in low-income and middle-
income countries, where as many
as 31 million deaths could be
prevented, said co-author Majid
Ezzati from Imperial College,
London.
Not reaching the targets would
result in 38.8 million premature
deaths in 2025 alone 10.5 million
more than in 2010, the team said.
Premature mortality is dened
for the purposes of the study as the
probability of dying between the
ages of 30 and 70.
The United Nations is targeting
a 25-per cent reduction in premature
death from non-communicable
diseases from 2010 to 2025.
This group of diseases is
caused in large part by unhealthy
lifestyles, including tobacco use,
physical inactivity, the harmful
use of alcohol and unhealthy
diets. (AFP)

Antibiotics for
appendicitis
IMMEDIATE surgery has long been
considered the only proper treatment
for appendicitis in children. Now a
small study suggests that in some
cases, antibiotics alone may be better.
The study, published online in The
Journal of the American College of
Surgeons, involved 77 uncomplicated
cases of acute appendicitis that met
specic criteria: Patients were seven
to 17; they had had pain for 48 hours
or less; their white blood-cell counts
were only moderately elevated; CT or
ultrasound scans conrmed that their
appendixes had not ruptured; and
they had no impacted feces.
Thirty of the patients opted not
to have immediate surgery and were
treated with a minimum of 24 hours
of intravenous antibiotics, followed by
about a week of oral antibiotics. Any
child who did not get better within
24 hours of antibiotics underwent
surgery.
Of the 30, two needed surgery
within 24 hours, and a third
underwent surgery a day after
discharge because of insucient
improvement, but none suered
complications. The other 27
nonsurgical patients missed fewer
days of school and resumed normal
activities sooner than those who had
had appendectomies.
Its so dogmatic to operate for
appendicitis that it requires a huge
paradigm shift, said the senior
author, Dr. Katherine J. Deans, an
assistant professor of surgery at
Nationwide Childrens Hospital in
Columbus, Ohio. But there are
choices. It may be safe to wait.
Aspirin and link
to colon cancer
MANY studies have found that
regular aspirin use reduces the risk
for colon cancer. Now scientists have
found that aspirin may benet some
people far more than others.
Aspirin apparently exerts a
protective eect only in people with
high levels of an enzyme called 15-
PGDH, which is found in the guts
lining. Researchers tracked aspirin
use among 127,865 participants in
two large national health surveys,
and found 270 cancer cases in which
15-PGDH levels were tracked. The
study appears online in Science
Translational Medicine.
They found that taking two
regular-strength tablets a week had
no signicant eect on the risk for
cancer in people with low levels of
the enzyme. But in people with high
levels, it cut the risk by 50 per cent.
The risk decreased with higher doses
and longer duration of aspirin use.
The eect persisted after
controlling for many health and
behavioural factors, including the
use of other nonsteroidal anti-
inammatory drugs like ibuprofen
(Advil) and naproxen (Aleve).
Doctors dont routinely test for 15-
PGDH. But levels can be determined
by doing an additional biopsy during
a colonoscopy, said the senior author,
Dr Andrew T. Chan, an associate
professor of medicine at Harvard
University.
There is a real need to identify
who will benet from aspirin use, he
said, and not introduce risk such
as gastrointestinal bleeding to
people who will not. (NYT)
healthbriefs
F
or the rest of this week, Kenya will
experience a national traffic jam
because schools are re-opening,
and as usual, there will be numerous
complaints about thoroughfares that have
been turned into parking lots.
Most of the complaints will be by
Nairobians, who are yet to come to terms
with a city whose gridlocks are legendary
and have been the subject of many studies
revealing the amount of money the economy
loses whenever movement is curtailed.
However, sceptics, who also experience life
in the slow lane and decry the time wasted
during the daily commute, reject these
economy-loses-money ndings. They argue
that fuel marketers gain since motorists have
to buy more fuel after wasting (or is it losing?)
it in the gridlocks.
They also argue that mobile phone service
providers also make money since those stuck
in gridlocks call their friends, relatives,
spouses, mistresses, second wives, co-workers
and employers to explain their whereabouts,
give reasons for their lateness or cancel dates
and/or reschedule meetings.
Some of the sceptics also claim that
gridlocks are a boost to the economy as
hawkers and newspaper and magazine
vendors make a killing because the customers
are sitting ducks, and even though edgy,
end up impulsively buying stu they dont
need.
There is no denying that trac gridlocks are
annoying and cause road rage. Motorists hoot,
sweat, make calls, curse, swear and throw
tantrums as they inch forward or abruptly
apply the brakes to avoid hitting vehicles
whose drivers have dozed o.
At such times, motorists blame everything
and anything on the moon, the rain, the
sun, the stars, one-night-stand partners,
the Marriage Act 2014, bribe-taking trac
police ocers, school-going children... you
name it, they blame it.
It has been claimed that police ocers
deliberately interfere with the ow of trac
and cause gridlocks so that hawkers can sell
their wares and give them a cut. Neither party
has denied or accepted this claim, but this
is Kenya, and you are never far from the
supernatural, considering it is normal for
roadside mechanics to appear out of non-
existent foliage with enough equipment to
undertake the most comprehensive repairs
or even paint a car when vehicles fail to
crank up after being switched o by motorists
in a bid to save fuel.
Then there are the Second World War-era
tow trucks that drop from the sky when an
errant driver gets arrested and does not
have enough money to grease the palms of
the ill-trained, overworked and poorly-paid
trac police ocers who see every driver
as fair game.
Kenyans should accept their lot in the
spirit of accepting and not moving on and
come to terms trac gridlocks, especially in
Nairobi, where they are only getting worse.
This is thanks to the much-hyped increasing
middle-class with enough disposable income
to pay o the external and internal debts of
all East African countries.
Nairobi motorists can scream murder and
go atwitter till the con artists stop tampering
with the odometers of their vehicles, but
the fact is that blaming the countys chief
executive will not ease trac jams since
Kenyans treat regulations as suggestions.
It is common knowledge that on Nairobi
roads, only the meek are patient, and that
only the idle observe the multi-billion shilling
Chinese toys that pass for trac lights. The
majority of passenger service vehicles are
exempted from all forms of sanity, and
oh, dont users of mass transport just love
that!
Then, thanks to the 2010 Constitution,
there are the neverending cavalcades of
politicians whose random acts on unkindness
have consigned many Kenyans to their graves
as they discover that basic necessities
are luxuries while the politicians insist
that presumed luxuries, such as cars, are
necessities they cannot breathe without.
It would be unfair not to recognise
backstreet driving schools for their undying
spirit of ensuring that all Kenyans have the
power to drive and all that appertains thereto
by oering the cheapest ways of acquiring
that archaic-looking document known as a
drivers licence.
Actually, it is hard to understand the
hullabaloo about trac jams considering
that Kenyans minds get narrower as roads
become wider. Besides, Kenyans are averse
to change and any move to improve things
must be met with resistance that borders
not only on arrant idiocy, but inexplicable
stupidity.
Kenyans never shy away from claiming
to be superior to their neighbours at all
levels of existence, yet no country in the
region openly exhibits more illiteracy than
Kenya or rather, on its roads, where only
the uneducated are set free with unclear
instructions that they must cause chaos,
otherwise corruption will be criminalised.
It is only in Kenya that motorists want
tens of thousands of other road users to
feel the eects of their non-observance of
trac regulations after their vehicles get
minute scratches and they leave them bang
in the middle of the road as they call god-
doesnt-know-who while waiting for trac
police ocers to come and ascertain their
collective air-headedness and tell them to
drive o.
Did I write that such drivers should be
severly punished for committing crimes
against the nation-state, considering that
there are patients who probably die on the
way to hospitals, students who miss lessons
and business-folk who lose out on deals just
to name a few because of them?
Kenyans make their trac gridlocks, and
they should be prepared to sleep on them
till they get the rude awakening that they
have to change their attitudes and learn
how to drive.

THE DRIVER of a passenger
service vehicle once commented
that the trac cameras, part of
the multi-billion-shilling trac
management plan for Nairobi,
had taken photographs of all
vehicles in the central business
district.
He was wondering when the
photographs would be processed
and handed over to the motorists
because he had never seen
anyone get arrested after
being captured outing trac
regulations.
The cameras, and the trac
lights, were supposed to help
restore order and rein in errant
motorists, but matters are only
getting worse. The cameras keep
ashing and the trac lights
continue blinking 24/7 while road
users go about their business
without a care in the world.
The question is, are these
cameras integrated to some sort
of a trac management nerve
centre or they are just designed
to ash independently?
If they are actually connected
to a network/hub, where are
the screens from which trac
marshals/police ocers can
monitor the chaos and send help
or reinforcements to arrest errant
motorists? Oh, and what about
the photographs that have been
taken, have they been discarded
or will they be processed and
handed over to the subjects?
Where do all the pictures taken by Nairobis trac cameras go?

WORD SEARCH
COLOUR ME
We wrapped the coin
up in several squares of blue
Rosy toilet paper and put it
away.
The day my dad went to
Mombasa for his interview,
we Rhinos hiked down to the
old mosque near Tiwi beach.
The old mosque had been
built at least 600 years earlier
out of coral blocks. Over
the years, the white coral
had turned a dark charcoal
grey. We looked in at the
partially crumbling building.
Just imagine, I said. When
Captain Kidd sailed by, this
building was already here.
After body surng at the
mouth of Kongo Creek, we
hiked home. When my dad
came home that evening, I
called the other Rhinos. Hey
guys! My dads back. Lets see
what he found out about our
coin!
Can we come and hear
too? Jill and her Cheetahs
asked.
Mato frowned, but I said
they could come.
Hey, my dad said, when
we gathered. I dont want
you to be disappointed, but
your coin couldnt have come
from Captain Kidds treasure.
Its too recent.
Wait a minute, I said.
The coin had the date 1780
on it. And Suleiman told
us Captain Kidd visited the
island in the late 17th century.
So why are you saying its too
new?
Do you remember that
professor saying Captain
Kidd was on Misali in 1698?
my dad asked.
Youre saying Suleiman
was wrong when he told
us Captain Kidd visited
the island in the late 17th
century? Dave asked
Both Suleiman and the
professor were right. 1698 is
the late 17th century, he said,
then smiled at our puzzled
looks. The rst century
went from year 1 to 100. The
second century from 101 to
200. And so on. Thats why
the 1900s have been called
the 20th century. So the 17th
century is the 1600s. Your
coin is dated 1780, so your
coin is from the 18th century,
almost eighty years too late
to be part of Captain Kidds
treasure.
So theres no way my
coin came from Captain
Kidds treasure? I asked.
Then I brightened. But if
its from 1780, it should be
valuable.

Wheat production beat all other key
crops last year due to favourable weather.
Whereas other crops were aected by er-
ratic rains in much of 2013, the rain in March
and April favoured wheat production.
The National Cereals and Produce Boards
acting managing director, Mr Cornel Nge-
lechey, said the weather was good for wheat
but not for other crops.
However, the outlook for the crops pro-
duction is gloomy this year because of de-
layed rains.
According to the Economic Survey 2014,
domestic wheat production last year rose
by 19.5 per cent to 194,500 tonnes from
162,700 tonnes.
Industry experts say the capacity is still
way below the sector potential of 500,000
tonnes.
This outcome was mainly a result of
favourable weather conditions in the wheat
growing areas coupled with good prices for
the crop, the survey said.
The year saw the share of domestic wheat
production compared to the total grain avail-
able increase to 15.8 per cent.
Coee production was the worst aected
last year, with harvests declining by 18.8 per
cent to 39,800 tonnes compared to 49,000
tonnes in 2012.
Maize was not spared either as output
contracted by two per cent, with 38.9 mil-
lion bags produced in 2013 compared to 39.7
million bags in 2012.
Despite a decline in global tea prices, pro-
duction of the crop improved signicantly in
the period under review due to good weather
characterised by enhanced rainfall and high
temperatures. Production increased by 17.1
per cent to 432,400 tonnes in 2013 from
369,400 tonnes a year earlier.
Maize yield to drop
This year, theres imminent crop failure
due to delays in the onset of rains. This is
likely to aect production, said Mr Nge-
lechey.
Nearly half of the wheat crop currently
on farms has wilted due to failed rains, he
noted.
Maize yield is also likely to reduce sub-
stantially should the anticipated short and
long rains fail this year.
Farmers are telling us that even if it rains
now, the damage is already done. Only 50
per cent of the crop can be salvaged, Mr
Ngelechey said.
The Meteorological Department, however,
recently forecast an anticipated onset of long
rains in the central, western, and northwest-
ern parts of the country.
Following depressed output of major
crops, the total value of marketed agricul-
tural production declined marginally by
2.9 per cent to Sh334.7 billion in 2013 from
Sh344.6 billion the previous year.
This was mainly driven by reduction in
the marketed value of maize, cut owers,
fruits, coee, tea, sisal, and some livestock
products, the survey shows.
Agriculture contributes 25.3 per cent of the
gross domestic product, according to 2013
statistics. This is a slight increase from 24.6
per cent in 2012 despite concerted eorts to
reduce reliance on rain-fed agriculture and
calls to turn to value-addition in the industry
in order to raise the contribution of manu-
facturing to GDP.
Some of the policy recommendations
made to rejuvenate growth in the industry
include shifting to irrigation to reduce de-
pendence on rain-fed agriculture, increasing
the amount of land under crop production,
and accelerating the establishment of fer-
tiliser factories to cut the prices of farm
inputs.
Experts have also recommended that the
national government enhance closer col-
laboration with county governments to en-
sure that each devolved unit has at least one
agricultural value-addition plant.

Kenyas earnings from exports to the
East Africa Community declined by 7.4
per cent last year, shaving o Sh10 billion
compared to 2012. This is the third year
in a row that returns from the bloc have
contracted.
The Economic Survey 2014, released
last week, says the country exported
Sh124.9 billion worth of goods in 2013
compared to Sh134.9 billion in 2012 to
the region.
The decline is likely to sent policy mak-
ers back to the drawing board because
the regional market is key in absorbing
locally manufactured goods.
Overall, Africa was the main market
for Kenyas goods in 2013, accounting
for 46.1 per cent of the total shipment de-
spite the value declining to Sh231.5 billion
from Sh250.5 billion in 2012.
President Kenyatta last year initiated
reforms that have cut dwell time at the
Port of Mombasa and removed barriers
on the highways. These measures, how-
ever, seem not to have yielded results.
Uganda remained the top destination
of local exports, but the value dropped
to Sh65.4 billion from Sh67.4 billion in
2012. Lime, cement, and fabricated con-
struction materials (other than glass and
clay) were Ugandas major imports.
The value of exports to Tanzania
dropped by 12.3 per cent to Sh40.4 bil-
lion in the year.
The country, however, remained the
second best market for local goods in
the bloc. Soap, cleansing, and polishing
products were the leading exports to
Tanzania.
Import bill
Exports to Rwanda dipped by 16.2 per
cent while those to Burundi reduced to
Sh13.5 billion from Sh16 billion in 2012.
Imports from the EAC member states
declined by 6.6 per cent in 2013 to Sh28.8
billion, but Uganda accounted for 55.8 per
cent of the total import bill in the bloc at

Cheap energy is crucial in Kenyas eorts
to achieve a middle income economy. This is
emerging from concerns raised by potential
textile investors, who have cited the high
price of electricity as a hindrance to produc-
tive investment.
The group of representatives from 40
global fashion brands expressed their dis-
satisfaction with the countrys highly priced
and unreliable electricity. The team indicated
that reducing the cost of electricity and sta-
bilising its supply are key to stimulating
industrial growth.
Kenya is ghting for a multi-billion worth
of investment package in textile with Ethio-
pia, which recently cut its electricity charges
to woo investors.
Wind farms
At the moment, a unit of power in Kenya
costs as high as 18 US cents. Energy Cabi-
net secretary Davis Chirchir says this is
expected to reduce by half once 5,000 mega-
watts of additional power is hooked to the
grid in 32 months.
The government has approved new wind
farms capable of generating a combined
630MW, including the planned 300MW
Lake Turkana wind power project in north-
ern Kenya and solar plants that will provide
another 200MW, said Mr Chirchir.
High energy costs have rendered local
industries non-competitive to similar invest-
ments in countries that have managed to
signicantly reduce energy charges.
Despite calls for the strengthening of
the manufacturing industry to cushion the
economy from shocks resulting from erratic
weather patterns that impact agriculture, the
sector accounted for a mere 8.9 per cent of
the gross domestic product, according to the
Economic Survey 2014.
The issues to be addressed which inu-
ence the productivity and success of the
sector include low cost and adequate sup-
ply of labour and energy, availability of
raw materials, enhancing access to credit,
infrastructure development, and increased
eciency of machinery and equipment,
notes the survey.
Viable discoveries
East Africa is fast emerging as a key oil
and gas source on account of the commer-
cially viable discoveries made in Uganda
and Tanzania. Kenya, despite not having
established the economic viability of its nd,
is said to be moving closer to being an oil
producer.
However, the regions economies are yet
to get a reprieve from high global prices of
fuel as production of the regional crude is
yet to start.
The manufacturing industry has the po-
tential to create millions of jobs, expand the
countrys export basket, and accelerate the
growth of other industries such as agricul-
ture.
A competitive manufacturing enterprise
can also help in lowering ination because
of reduced cost of goods.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics
(KNBS) partly blamed the marginal rise in
the rate of ination last month to an up-
swing in the prices of fuel, which has in turn
resulted in a jump in the cost of transport,
electricity, and consumer goods.
In its plan to add 5,000MW to the national
grid, the Energy ministry has laid emphasis
on power generation from renewable sources
such as wind, solar, geothermal, liqueed
natural gas and coal.
The government hopes to remove the ex-
pensive diesel-driven thermal power genera-
tion. Currently, of the 120MW of emergency
power that was contracted from UKs Ag-
greko, 30MW are still being fed to the grid
following an extension of the contract to the
end of this month.
Connection charges
Due to the high cost of electricity, hook-
ing rural homes to the grid has remained a
challenge as most of the population cannot
aord to pay the connection charges. This
has crippled eorts to develop competitive
cottage industries and discouraged value-ad-
dition on farm produce.
Last year, the number of customers con-
nected to the grid under the rural electrica-
tion programme increased by 18.5 per cent
to 453,544 from 382,631 in 2012, according
to data from KNBS.

Taxman seeks to widen net to plug revenue shortfall this year
THE KENYA REVENUE Authority will have to
expand the tax net to increase revenue collec-
tion if it is to meet next years target.
According to the budget estimates for 2014,
the government expects to collect Sh1.180.5
trillion, an improvement from Sh973.5 billion
that it expects to net by the end of June 2014.
National Treasury Cabinet secretary Henry
Rotich said the government would enhance
tax collection this year to meet the budget
needs.
Key to increased tax collection is the auto-
mation of transactions at the KRA. The process
to have all businesses provide tax declarations
online through iTax by the end of March
was delayed after the platform failed to cope
with the huge data trac. The taxman then
opted for phased registration through iTax, de-
pending on the turnover of businesses.
Revenue collection eorts will be enhanced
to ensure that all potential taxpayers make
their contribution, Mr Rotich said.
Experts say there is great potential to in-
crease revenue collection if the informal in-
dustry is included in the tax net. However, the
taxman will have to improve the systems to
capture entities which are currently outside its
net besides sealing loopholes for evasion and
under-declaration.
Kenya has a huge unbanked sector and
KRA can still increase its revenue allocation
by between Sh200 billion to Sh300 billion
if it brought into the tax net more of the
unbanked, said the RSM Ashvir group chief
executive, Mr Ashif Kassam, when he released
banking sector performance 2013 survey last
week.
KRA acknowledges that optimal revenue
from some of the sectors is yet to be realised
as tax declarations are mostly based on self-
assessment, a method that is prone to under-
declaration.
There is great potential to increase tax
revenue, particularly in the informal sector.
Automated systems will introduce transpar-
ency in tax declarations. The widening of the
tax net could lead to lower rates in the future,
said the commissioner for domestic taxes, Mr
Pancrasius Nyagah
RSM Ashvir, an audit and tax advisory rm,
said that while the bank deposit base was
51.3 per cent of national wealth estimated at
Sh3.76 trillion, KRA is only able to collect 25
per cent of the amount, indicating the po-
tential for higher tax yield from the hidden
economy that is largely unbanked.
Mr Nyagah, however, said the tax collector
could not disclose the gures that remain
uncollected but added that projections were
available based on trends in the country.
Tax declarations are currently based on
self-assessment and with our limited capac-
ity to audit all businesses, we are not able to
deal with under-declarations on time. The law,
however, allows us to calculate tax seven years
backwards when we audit, and where deliber-
ate fraud is suspected, we can go back many
years. That is the risk many Kenyans are tak-
ing, he said.
Nevertheless, Mr Kassam said the perform-
ance of KRA in collecting 25 per cent of rev-
enue to GDP is among the best both in Africa
and globally.
Next years performance will be underpinned
by ongoing reforms in tax and customs admin-
istration.

The government is tightening the
knot on oil exploring companies with last
weeks release of new rules.
Under the regulations, oil and gas com-
panies seeking licences will be required
to prove their competence to implement
primary exploration programmes. This
also applies to rms seeking extension
of contract terms.
The regulations by the Ministry of
Energy and Petroleum also require that
rms seeking to opt out will have to give
an account of their exploration activi-
ties.
The approvals are going to be based
purely on the competence of the original
contractor to fully implement the pri-
mary work activities, which must include
proceeding to implement seismic survey
programmes in each exploration period,
said Energy and Petroleum Cabinet sec-
retary Davis Chirchir.
This is the latest in the governments
eorts to ensure that rms do not gam-
ble with local exploration blocks amid
growing interest in the countrys acreage
since the rst discovery of oil was made
in March 2012.
The new raft of regulations are also
expected to put an end to cases where
oil and gas exploration companies hold
licences for long and fail to meet their
obligations.
Such is the case with Canadian oil
explorer Vanoil, whose request for exten-
sion of its contract was recently turned
down on grounds that the company had
failed to meet the terms of the licence.
Guard countrys wealth
Last November, Mr Chirchir an-
nounced that his ministry would start
tracking the exploration costs incurred
by licensed companies to guard the
countrys wealth.
As an industry practice, exploration
companies are allowed to recover the
costs incurred during exploration from
cost oil, which is a portion set aside for
sale before the remaining oil is sold to
raise revenue that is shared between the
government and the exploring rm.
Oil amounting to about 600 million
barrels has been found in the South
Lokichar basin since the rst discovery,
according to UKs Tullow Oil Plc.
The British rm has also put the total
oil potential for the block at more than
one billion barrels.
Tullow is expected to submit a plan
showing how it intends to extract oil
from the South Lokichar basin by the
fourth quarter of next year, an indication
that Kenya is likely to join the league of
oil producers soon.
We plan to submit that (development
plan) in the fourth quarter of 2015. In
order to get to that point obviously we
have to drill a lot of appraisal wells and
do a lot of testing to make sure we have
the results to optimise the development
plan, said Mr Robin Sutherland, Tullows
exploration manager for sub-Saharan Af-
rica.
Tight regulations
These advancements in the search
for oil and gas are expected to spark in-
creased activity on the exploration scene,
creating a need for the government to
come up with tight regulations to ensure
that the country benets from its natural
resources.
The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum
is in the process of reviewing the current
Petroleum (Exploration & Production)
Act so that it can adequately address
emerging issues as the country continues
to make discoveries.
The new law, according to the minis-
try, will guide the basis for allocation of
exploration blocks, which have been cre-
ated from those given up by rms after
their contract period expires.

On its part, the Arab emir-
ate, Qatar, has been providing
aid to Somalia besides carrying

Turkeys intervention in Soma-
lia has been on a larger scale. For

to visit the country after two

Since then, the Ankara gov-
ernment has arguably achieved

establish an embassy in the capi-
tal, Mogadishu. Further, Turkish
Airlines was the maiden global
carrier to start a bi-weekly ight
to the Somali capital. Also, Tur-
keys development agency, TIKA,
has tarmacked Mogadishus
main roads while also restoring
once bullet-riddled schools and
hospitals.
This, Mr Ainte says, forms part

it spreads its political footprint in
the country.
Part of Turkeys tear on

talks between Kenya and Turkey
were heavily dominated by busi-

Kenya shoulders a hefty fi-
nancial burden as a result of
insecurity in Somalia. There is a
large number of refugees, mainly
from Somalia and South Sudan,
in Kenya.
Analysts say help from Qatar
and Turkey, which might include
training of Kenyan police, could

April was a busy month
for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He attended the European Un-
ion-Africa Summit in Belgium,
joined Rwanda to commemo-
rate the 20th anniversary of the
genocide, attended Tanzanias
50th union celebration, and ew
to London to support First Lady
Margaret Kenyatta in her debut
42-kilometre marathon to raise
funds for improving maternal
health and nutrition.
Most of the Presidents talks
in these countries centred on
democracy, fighting poverty,
infrastructure development, and
integration.
However, it was the Presi-
dents trip to Turkey and Qatar
that showcased Kenyas commit-
ment to rejuvenate business ties
with non-traditional partners and
to attract investment.
In his visit to the two states,
Mr Kenyatta clinched conces-
sionary nancing deals for large-
scale projects, including energy
generation and infrastructure
development. He also struck co-
operation agreements in security
besides initiatives to build both
cultural and diplomatic bridges
with the host nations.
This means a huge leap for
Kenyas East-dominated market
and trade. This would certainly
reassure Turkish and Qatari
investors to deepen their trade
relations with Kenya, said Mr
Abdihakim Ainte, the manag-
ing director of international
consultancy firm, Transitional
Advisory.
In Turkey, Mr Kenyatta signed
bilateral agreements that will see
the two countries cooperate in
energy exploration and exchange
expertise on how to revitalise lo-
cal manufacturing rms.
On the diplomatic front, Mr
Kenyatta promised to post an
ambassador to Kenyas embassy
in Turkey. The relationship be-
tween the two nations stretches
back beyond the 16th century,
he noted. Mr Kenyatta was refer-
ring to the Ottoman Empire rule
which, for over six centuries,
stretched across three conti-
nents from Europe to the Horn
of Africa.
In return, Turkey promised to
open a centre in Kenya to pro-
mote cultural ties.
On its part, oil-rich Qatar
pledged to help Kenya establish
a nancial hub, nance construc-
tion of the Sh13 billion Isiolo-
Garbatula-Modogashe road, and
provide technical assistance to
the Kenya Ports Authority as well
as the Rift Valley Railways.
Mr Kenyatta invited Qatari in-
vestors to assist Kenya in explor-
ing oil and natural gas in eorts
to hasten the countrys push to
tap the resource.
Security
Besides trade, security in
the Horn of Africa featured
prominently in the deliberations
between Mr Kenyatta and his
Qatari and Turkish hosts.
The team discussed possible
measures to confront radicalisa-
tion of the youth in Kenya, how
to better equip security agencies
to deal with insecurity, and how
to handle war-torn Somalia.
This, analysts say, is part of
Kenyas eorts to steer Somalia
back to stability as Nairobi bears
the brunt of the eects of the
chaos in its unstable neighbour.
Besides isolated explosions in
local towns, the biggest blow to
Kenyas security came on 21 Sep-
tember, 2013, when Al-Shabaab
militants killed at least 60 people
in Nairobis Westgate Mall.
Part of the reason interven-
tions have failed in Somalia
is that eorts to stabilise the
country have been ad hoc, un-
coordinated, and driven by the
unique interests of the contrib-
uting countries rather than a
consensus among international
partners. Kenyas outreach to
Qatar and Turkey is another
iteration of this phenomenon,
said Mr Tres Thomas, a PhD stu-
dent at George Mason University
who focuses on federalism in
Somalia.
Notably, Kenya, Turkey, and
Qatar have dierent approaches
to xing the runaway insecurity
in Somalia.

We will also help in the provi-
sion of equipment and security
gadgets as part of our contribu-
tion to the East African peace
initiatives, the Emir noted.
Mr Kenyatta said Kenya seeks
to work closely with Qatar in
dealing with challenges such as
the instability in Somalia. He ex-
pressed the need for the people
of Somalia to be assisted to settle
so that they can engage in gainful
business.
This will ultimately not only
benet them as a country but
all of us in the region. We need
to partner with other nations to
achieve that goal. These are some
of the things we have come here
to discuss, Mr Kenyatta said.
However, despite the training
and equipment support, Kenya
must step up the surveillance of
her borders, weed out corruption,
and address the use of extrajudi-
cial and other counter-productive
tactics used by the police.
New alliances
Mr Kenyattas state visits to
Turkey and Qatar also brought to
the fore a tactical shift in Kenyas
foreign policy in scouting for new
development partners.
An interesting angle to look at
it is the Shia-Sunni (the two big-
gest branches of Islam) divide.
Qatar and Turkey are both
dominated by Sunni Muslims.
However, Saudi Arabia (Sunni)
and Iran (Shia) have dominated
trade ties with Kenya for years.
At the moment, Saudi Arabia and
Iran have investments in agricul-
ture, energy, trade, and technical
cooperation with Nairobi.
Considering the eternal com-
petition pitting the old Saudi
(Sunni) and Iran (Shia) and
the new Qatar and Turkey, I
dont think Kenyas policy is so
much on a shift, but rather a rea-
sonable pivot to what is realisti-
cally a viable option, without nec-
essarily cutting ties with Saudi
Arabia and Iran, who both have
a huge presence in Kenya, Mr
Abdullahi Boru Halakhe, a Horn
of Africa policy analyst, said.
It should be noted, however,
that in 2012, Kenya cancelled im-
portation of four million tonnes
of crude oil from Iran, citing
sanction threats from Western
nations who had slapped embar-
goes on Tehran.
Shaping policy
Mr Ainte says the decision by
Mr Kenyatta to visit Turkey and
Qatar does not necessarily mean
the administration is keen on
changing its foreign policy based
on denomination.
There area a large number
of Sunni Muslims in Kenya,
particularly in the countrys
leadership, who are shaping the
policy towards Muslim nations
in general.
The President was accompa-
nied by Foreign Aairs and Inter-
national Trade Cabinet secretary
Amina Mohamed, her Mining
counterpart, Najib Balala, and
the Majority Leader of the Na-
tional Assembly, Adan Duale.
In one of the communiqus,
Ms Mohamed is described as be-
ing instrumental in the bilateral
negotiations laying the founda-
tions for the agreements.
Thats to say Kenyas relation
with Sunni-dominated countries
will be safe and secure for the

NEW FRONTIER DISCUSSIONS DURING THE PRESIDENTS TOUR RESULTED IN VARIOUS AGREEMENTS ON DIPLOMACY AND MEASURES TO STABILISE WAR-TORN SOMALIA
Trade behind Turkeys foray in Africa
BUSINESS is at the heart of Turkeys
policy towards Africa. The countrys trade
volume with the continent has almost tri-
pled since 2005, moving from $9 billion to
$23 billion in 2012. This acceleration was
partly stimulated by the global economic
crisis, which forced many Turkish compa-
nies to look for export markets beyond the
traditional Europe and the US.
Apart from the hundreds of millions of
dollars Turkey has been wiring to African
governments in aid, Ankara has built the im-
age of a steady business partner.
Turkey exports electronics, automobiles,
and food to Algeria, while importing natural
gas and crude oil from the north African
country.
African markets
Ankara exports textile to Tunisia, ships
machinery, chemicals, and iron and steel
to Libya, while her construction companies
have pumped billions of dollars into Mo-
rocco and across Libya.
By tying their hopes to African markets,
the Turks have also been outbidding more
established conglomerates, such as the
Chinese.
For instance, Turkish construction com-
pany, Yapi Merkezi, got a contract to build a
5,000-kilometre railway in Ethiopia, a tradi-
tional Chinese stronghold.
The Turkish companies foray into Africa
has also been supported by Exim Bank
(above), a state-owned lender that aims to
strengthen Ankara contractors and inves-
tors competitiveness in global markets.
In 2009, when Turkeys President Abdul-
lah Gl visited Kenya, he thanked all those
who are helping his countrys voice be
heard on the continent. For now, Turkey
led by Erdogan, Gl, and the Justice and
Development Party, is looking to Africa with
a rosy hue, enamoured by the success of
doing business in the worlds fastest grow-
ing continent. It is also a testament that
Turkey has come a long way from the days
when it was famously dubbed the sick man
of Europe.

This, Mr Ainte says, forms part

April was a busy month
for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He attended the European Un-
ion-Africa Summit in Belgium,
joined Rwanda to commemo-
rate the 20th anniversary of the
genocide, attended Tanzanias
50th union celebration, and ew
to London to support First Lady
Margaret Kenyatta in her debut
42-kilometre marathon to raise
funds for improving maternal
health and nutrition.
Most of the Presidents talks
in these countries centred on
democracy, fighting poverty,
infrastructure development, and
integration.
However, it was the Presi-
dents trip to Turkey and Qatar
that showcased Kenyas commit-
ment to rejuvenate business ties
with non-traditional partners and
to attract investment.
In his visit to the two states,
Mr Kenyatta clinched conces-
sionary nancing deals for large-
scale projects, including energy
generation and infrastructure
development. He also struck co-
operation agreements in security
besides initiatives to build both
cultural and diplomatic bridges
with the host nations.
This means a huge leap for
Kenyas East-dominated market
and trade. This would certainly
reassure Turkish and Qatari
investors to deepen their trade
relations with Kenya, said Mr
Abdihakim Ainte, the manag-
ing director of international
consultancy firm, Transitional
Advisory.
In Turkey, Mr Kenyatta signed
bilateral agreements that will see
the two countries cooperate in
energy exploration and exchange
expertise on how to revitalise lo-
cal manufacturing rms.
On the diplomatic front, Mr
Kenyatta promised to post an
ambassador to Kenyas embassy
in Turkey. The relationship be-
tween the two nations stretches
back beyond the 16th century,
he noted. Mr Kenyatta was refer-
ring to the Ottoman Empire rule
which, for over six centuries,
stretched across three conti-
nents from Europe to the Horn
of Africa.
In return, Turkey promised to
open a centre in Kenya to pro-
mote cultural ties.
On its part, oil-rich Qatar
pledged to help Kenya establish
a nancial hub, nance construc-
tion of the Sh13 billion Isiolo-
Garbatula-Modogashe road, and
provide technical assistance to
the Kenya Ports Authority as well
as the Rift Valley Railways.
Mr Kenyatta invited Qatari in-
vestors to assist Kenya in explor-
ing oil and natural gas in eorts
to hasten the countrys push to
tap the resource.
Security
Besides trade, security in
the Horn of Africa featured
prominently in the deliberations
between Mr Kenyatta and his
Qatari and Turkish hosts.
The team discussed possible
measures to confront radicalisa-
tion of the youth in Kenya, how
to better equip security agencies
to deal with insecurity, and how
to handle war-torn Somalia.
This, analysts say, is part of
Kenyas eorts to steer Somalia
back to stability as Nairobi bears
the brunt of the eects of the
chaos in its unstable neighbour.
Besides isolated explosions in
local towns, the biggest blow to
Kenyas security came on 21 Sep-
tember, 2013, when Al-Shabaab
militants killed at least 60 people
in Nairobis Westgate Mall.
Part of the reason interven-
tions have failed in Somalia
is that eorts to stabilise the
country have been ad hoc, un-
coordinated, and driven by the
unique interests of the contrib-
uting countries rather than a
consensus among international
partners. Kenyas outreach to
Qatar and Turkey is another
iteration of this phenomenon,
said Mr Tres Thomas, a PhD stu-
dent at George Mason University
who focuses on federalism in
Somalia.
Notably, Kenya, Turkey, and
Qatar have dierent approaches
to xing the runaway insecurity
in Somalia.

Kenya as part of its ongo-
ing security interventions in the
country.
We will also help in the provi-
sion of equipment and security
gadgets as part of our contribu-
tion to the East African peace
initiatives, the Emir noted.
Mr Kenyatta said Kenya seeks
to work closely with Qatar in
dealing with challenges such as
the instability in Somalia. He ex-
pressed the need for the people
of Somalia to be assisted to settle
so that they can engage in gainful
business.
This will ultimately not only
benet them as a country but
all of us in the region. We need
to partner with other nations to
achieve that goal. These are some
of the things we have come here
to discuss, Mr Kenyatta said.
However, despite the training
and equipment support, Kenya
must step up the surveillance of
her borders, weed out corruption,
and address the use of extrajudi-
cial and other counter-productive
tactics used by the police.
New alliances
Mr Kenyattas state visits to
Turkey and Qatar also brought to
the fore a tactical shift in Kenyas
foreign policy in scouting for new
development partners.
An interesting angle to look at
it is the Shia-Sunni (the two big-
gest branches of Islam) divide.
Qatar and Turkey are both
dominated by Sunni Muslims.
However, Saudi Arabia (Sunni)
and Iran (Shia) have dominated
trade ties with Kenya for years.
At the moment, Saudi Arabia and
Iran have investments in agricul-
ture, energy, trade, and technical
cooperation with Nairobi.
Considering the eternal com-
petition pitting the old Saudi
(Sunni) and Iran (Shia) and
the new Qatar and Turkey, I
dont think Kenyas policy is so
much on a shift, but rather a rea-
sonable pivot to what is realisti-
cally a viable option, without nec-
essarily cutting ties with Saudi
Arabia and Iran, who both have
a huge presence in Kenya, Mr
Abdullahi Boru Halakhe, a Horn
of Africa policy analyst, said.
It should be noted, however,
that in 2012, Kenya cancelled im-
portation of four million tonnes
of crude oil from Iran, citing
sanction threats from Western
nations who had slapped embar-
goes on Tehran.
Shaping policy
Mr Ainte says the decision by
Mr Kenyatta to visit Turkey and
Qatar does not necessarily mean
the administration is keen on
changing its foreign policy based
on denomination.
There area a large number
of Sunni Muslims in Kenya,
particularly in the countrys
leadership, who are shaping the
policy towards Muslim nations
in general.
The President was accompa-
nied by Foreign Aairs and Inter-
national Trade Cabinet secretary
Amina Mohamed, her Mining
counterpart, Najib Balala, and
the Majority Leader of the Na-
tional Assembly, Adan Duale.
In one of the communiqus,
Ms Mohamed is described as be-
ing instrumental in the bilateral
negotiations laying the founda-
tions for the agreements.
Thats to say Kenyas relation
with Sunni-dominated countries
will be safe and secure for the
foreseeable future, Mr Ainte
said.
Nonetheless, whether seeking
to build new economic, diplo-
matic, cultural, or trade bridges,
Mr Kenyattas visits to Qatar and
Turkey indicate a fresh approach
in which Kenya is seeking to
build ties, no matter the ideologi-
cal or historical background of
the new or old partners.
This practice, Mr Halakhe
says, is termed as double dip-
ping: Continue with the old
partners and add on the new
emerging economic powers.

How do you start to com-
pare Qatar and Turkey? The po-
larity between the two countries
that have come of age politi-
cally, economically, and socially
is so vast that one cannot help
but think of an oxymoron when
discussing the other.
Qatar is a monarchy that rose
from the deserts of the Arabian
Peninsula to become one of the
richest countries in the world,
thanks to vast oil and natural
gas reserves. It is a largely tax-
free, tiny sheikhdom with a
population of about 1.8 million
300,000 of whom are citizens,
with the rest being foreigners
coming to work.
Qatar is led by Sheikh Tamim
bin Hamad Al-Thani, who at 34
is considered one of the young-
est reigning monarchs. Sheikh
Tamim is also the chairman of
the committee organising the
2022 FIFA World Cup, which
will be hosted by Qatar, making
it the rst Arab country to do so
in history.
Enter Turkey, a democratic na-
tion of 80 million people that sits
at the intersection of Europe and
Asia. This secular republic has
largely invested in foreign trade
and commerce, exporting goods
from textiles, electronics, and
food to furniture.
Over the past decade, Turkey
has been dened by the rule of
the Justice and Development
Party, whose leader, Prime Min-
ister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has
transformed the nations domes-
tic and foreign policies through
a mix of populist beliefs and
politics. Unlike Qatar, which was
a British protectorate until 1971,
Turkey was once the seat of the
Ottoman Empire, which ruled
swathes of land stretching from
Serbia to Somalia.
Yet the rise of both Turkey and
Qatar as global powerhouses al-
ludes to the coming of age of two
underdogs, who are out to ex-
pand their sphere of inuence in
the Middle East and beyond. Us-
ing a mix of cultural, monetary,
and diplomatic leverages, Turkey
and Qatar have both over the past
decade become forces to reckon
with in a volatile region that lies
at the heart of the world.
At the diplomatic level, both
Turkey and Qatar have sup-
ported the Arab Spring move-
ment that deposed decades-old
dictatorships. Qatar provided
rebels ghting Libyas strong-
man Muammar Gaddafi with
millions of dollars in aid, train-
ing and weaponry. It has also
provided support for the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt, brokered
peace among rival factions in
Lebanon, mediated between the
Darfur rebels and the Sudan gov-
ernment, and even went as far
as arbitrating a border dispute
between Eritrea and Djibouti.
Turkey, on the other hand, was
one of the rst countries to call
for the stepping down of Hosni
Mubarak of Egypt, who ruled
the country for almost three
decades.
Prime Minister Erdogan
also called on Syrias President
Bashar Assad to stand down
and provided support to Libyas
National Transitional Council
against Gadda. He even once
tried to act as a bridge between
the West and Tehran on the lat-
ters nuclear programme.
More importantly, given his im-
age as a Muslim leading a secular
nation, Mr Erdogan has provided
an example that religious beliefs
can be independent from political
systems of governance.
All this has provoked a back-
lash from leaders across the
Middle East, whose monarchs
and dictators would go great
lengths to sustain their stay in
power. The latest regional power
struggle came in March, when
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the
United Arab Emirates recalled
their envoys from Qatar, citing
the countrys role in undermin-
ing regional security.
However, underlying the diplo-
matic muscle of both Turkey and
Qatar is a larger battle for hearts
and minds not only in the Middle
East, but also in the world. This
is exemplied in Qatars nanc-
ing of the Al Jazeera news chan-
nel, which has grown to become a
broadcasting colossus operating
in multiple languages. Former US
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
once commended the channels
coverage, asserting its leadership
in using real news to literally
changing peoples minds and at-
titudes around the world.
For Turkey, the rise of its soap
operas is proving to be a symbol
of its soft power globally. Beam-
ing into millions of households
every day, the steamy stories,
translated into dozens of lan-
guages, are fast becoming popu-
lar pastimes in homes across the
world.
This amalgam of cultural and
diplomatic power, strengthened
by foreign trade and petrodollars,
has made Turkey and Qatar two
of the most inuential countries
in the world.
Specifically, Qatars foray
into Africa, analysts say, her-
alds a cartwheel moment for
a continent trying to diversify
its economy by trading with
both East and West. This was
recently brought into focus dur-
ing President Uhuru Kenyattas
trip to Turkey and Qatar, where
he signed key bilateral deals to
improve cooperation between
the three countries.
Kenya is balancing the sig-
nicance of having the worlds
fastest growing business spheres
the East and the Middle East
into its orbit, said Mr Abdi-
hakim Ainte, the managing direc-
tor of international consultancy

have over the past decade
become a force to reckon with in
a traditionally volatile region:
Both Turkey and Qatar have
supported the Arab Spring upris-
ings that deposed dictatorships

in Africas trade and politics

abdilatifdahir@gmail.com
When Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan came to power in Tur-
key in 2003, his timing was anything but
uncanny.
The country was at its worst moment:
The economy, suering from high ina-
tion rates, was at best in ruins; the gen-
erals, who had previously toppled four
democratically-elected governments,
were lingering; and Ankara was still
smarting from the eects of the devastat-
ing 1999 earthquake that literally brought
the country to a standstill.
Over a decade later, and the Justice and
Development Party led by Erdogan has
moved Turkey away from the economic
turmoil and political mess that shaped
the country in the 1980s and 1990s.
Turkey, a nation of 80 million people, is
now one of the leading and most inuen-
tial countries, not only in the Middle East,
but also in the world. Now, the country
boasts of the 17th largest economy in the
world, its burgeoning textiles, construc-
tion, and automotive industries fast shap-
ing it into a global powerhouse.
Power broker
Today, its military might also speak for
itself, with Turkey commanding the sec-
ond largest armed forces in the North At-
lantic Treaty Organisation after the US.
Its geostrategic location at the heart
of Eurasia has also made it a key power
broker in the Middle East, acting as an
umpire among Israel, Syria, Egypt, and
Iran.
Using their political and economic
acumen, Turkish ocials have also been
looking further aeld, pushing the bound-
aries of their inuence to bring in Africa.
Under the context of the neo-Ottoman
political ideology, the Turks have been
pushing to encourage greater engage-
ment both economically and politically
with countries that were previously un-
der the defunct Ottoman Empires reign.
At its height, the Ottoman Empire con-
trolled vast swathes of land that covered
Central Europe, North Africa, the Horn of
Africa, and the Middle East.
This was reinforced when the Turkish
government declared 2005 as the Year
of Africa, nudging many of its business
people to look to the continent for invest-
ment and trade opportunities.
Three years later, in 2008, the Turkey-
Africa Cooperation Summit was held in
Istanbul with the participation of 49 Afri-
can countries, heralding what the Turkish
Ministry of Foreign Aairs called the
beginning of a steady and sustainable
cooperation with Africa.
Diplomatic presence
Since then, Istanbul has solidied its
presence across Africa by investing in key
sectors such as education, construction,
trade, development, and the provision of
hundreds of millions of dollars in humani-
tarian assistance.
Further, Turkey has been establishing
a strong diplomatic presence in the conti-
nent, managing 35 embassies, 30 of which
are in sub-Saharan Africa.
And that is not all, as the country has
also deepened its interaction with key
regional, continental, and inter-govern-
mental blocs such as the African Union,
the East African Community, the Inter-
governmental Authority on Development,
and the Southern African Development
Community.
In Kenyas warring neighbour, Somalia,
Turkey has championed major policy
shifts by directly intervening to help the
nation stabilise.
For instance, in 2011, at the height
of the worst famine in 60 years, Prime
Minister Erdogan became the highest
prole gure to visit Mogadishu after two
decades of war.
The tragedy going on here is a test for
civilisation and contemporary values, Er-
dogan said of the famine at the time.
Since 2011, Turkey has helped rebuild
Mogadishus airport and has renovated
dilapidated roads, schools, and hospitals.
It has also opened up an embassy in
the beleaguered capital, provided schol-
arships to Somali students to study in
Turkey, and has even facilitated recon-
ciliation talks between the Somali central
government and the regional authorities
in Somaliland.
These critical steps have endeared
them to many Somalis, says Abdullahi
Boru Halakhe, a security and policy ana-
lyst on the Horn of Africa and the Great
Lakes regions.
Turkey declared 2005
The Year of Africa and
since then, investors
from Ankara have
been coming to the
continent to expand
the reach of their
enterprises

Q: I will be taking my rst busi-
ness trip next month, to visit
potential suppliers in China. Do
you have any advice on what to
expect and how to conduct my-
self? I am 22 years old should
I wear a suit and grow out my
beard so that they take me more
seriously?
Simon Staneld, London
Simon, I am glad to hear
that you are planning ahead, but I
would not stop shaving just yet!
You are going to be under
some stress as you negotiate for
your businesss needs in unfamil-
iar surroundings. Your goal as
you prepare should be to avoid
putting yourself in a situation
where you suddenly feel less sure
of yourself, whether it is because
you are under- or overdressed, or
because you do not know what
the local business etiquette re-
quires.
It is funny that you are asking
me, of all people, for an opinion
on formal dress. In Virgins early
days, the sta used to joke, The
day we see Richard wear a suit
to a meeting with the bank man-
ager, well know we are in serious
trouble!
Since Virgin started out in the
music business, working with
artistes like The Sex Pistols,
Boy George, The Rolling Stones,
Genesis, and others, I was never
expected to wear the pinstripe
suits, bowler hats, and rolled um-
brellas typical of the stuy Brit-
ish business world. To this day I
do not own many suits.
By the time we launched Virgin
Atlantic Airways in 1984, where
the business dress code was more
formal, I was set in my ways I
took the attitude that what they
saw was what they got. Back then
I favoured corduroys and baggy
sweaters, and I found that it did
not make any dierence to my
ability to do deals. The Virgin At-
lantic executive team never once
persuaded me to wear anything
more formal than a jacket and
even then, the occasion had to be
pretty fancy for that to happen.
I did, however, always pack a
jacket for business trips to Asia.
It would certainly be advisable
for you to bring a suit, or at least
a jacket and a smart pair of trou-
sers, and perhaps to leave the
worn-out jeans at home.
That said, you should keep
in mind who you will be meet-
ing with. On recent visits to
Japan and China I have noticed
a marked slackening in the
once-rigid dress codes. In the
technology and internet sectors,
suits and ties are now rare. On
the other hand, if you need to
negotiate with bankers, govern-
ment representatives, or execu-
tives from a respected corpora-
tion, you will nd that the dress
code is still extremely formal by
Western standards. You might
get away with ditching the tie,
but omitting the jacket will likely
be seen as rude.
In Asia, I would err on the
side of caution and dress slightly
more conservatively for meet-
ings. If you sit down with some-
one who is much older, they will
likely appreciate your style. If
your counterpart is dressed casu-
ally, you can always take your
jacket o.
It is also important to plan the
logistics of how to get to each
meeting. This is especially true
in China, where one of the big-
gest gaes you can make is to
show up late, which is seen as
disrespectful. Even arriving a few
minutes behind schedule is prob-
lematic, so make sure to allow
time for any diculties that may
come up. The trac in Beijing
and Shanghai is absolutely bru-
tal, but it is never considered a
valid excuse for being late trust
me, I learned the hard way.
If you are ever in doubt about
anything, wait to see what your
hosts do, then follow their lead.
This can be a bit awkward at
times. At one very painful busi-
ness lunch in Japan in the 80s,
I was dismayed to be confronted
with a plate of raw sh. Sashimi
was not yet popular in the West,
and so I did not know how deli-
cious it was and did not think of
it as food. I muddled through,
getting so desperate that I even
hid some in a napkin, but it was
hard going and in retrospect, I
should have just eaten the meal
and enjoyed myself!
Also remember that building
personal relationships is espe-
cially important when doing
business in China, so while you
are there, do everything you can
to develop friendships with peo-
ple who matter to the success of
your enterprise.
Keep in mind that social oc-
casions tend to be just that
business is not often discussed
after hours. There will be a lot of
drinking, though, and you will
need to handle it without making
a fool of yourself.
It is all good fun and as you
build trust with your Chinese
counterparts, you will nd that
the occasional gae on either
side will not matter as much,
because you will be able to laugh
over it together.
Have a great trip to Asia, and
good luck with bringing home
the business!

IT IS A GREAT pity when the holder
of brilliant qualications is not mak-
ing much progress in the workplace,
particularly in the area of leadership.
Indeed, some people do extremely
well in school, but fail to make an
equally remarkable impact in the
workplace. When you reect with
some of them, you may be further
disappointed by the simplicity of the
issues that stand in their way.
Sometimes in our pursuit for good
grades we forget to pick up some
very basic things that return to
haunt us. Key to this is failure to be
accountable to oneself. It is a waste
of your potential when you refuse
to take personal accountability seri-
ously.
To make progress in life, you must
start by full acceptance of personal
responsibility. It is the same at work.
You fully accept that you are the one
entrusted with that job. You promise
yourself to give it your best, without
attempting to shift responsibility to
anyone else.
People who have taken full respon-
sibility always seek to identify possi-
ble solutions before they start saying
what someone else is not doing.
Seek solutions
You know you are fully responsible
when you seek solutions even where
the other person may be decient,
for whatever reason. You take full
charge by accepting that you have
taken up that task voluntarily and
that you will give it your all.
You will make progress when you
purpose to exceed expectations,
when you cease purposing to do just
the minimum. You learn to stretch
yourself, an important ingredient
of success. Achieving the expected
target is basic.
If you live by basic expectations
you will remain basic and should not
expect anything dierent to come
your way. When you purpose to
exceed expectations, you set high
standards for yourself and are, there-
fore, self-driven. But the reverse of
that is to be driven by others. That
limits your ambitions to the shadow
of the ambitions of others.
When you are making good
progress you are likely to make
mistakes. Accept this, for you will
encounter many new situations that
will require new solutions. They will
be new, at least to you. When you
make a mistake, admit it without
attempting to blame someone else.
It is courageous and honourable to
own up to mistakes. It is a mark of
great integrity, a great indicator of
personal accountability. When you
admit a mistake, you will start work-
ing to correct it.
Limited knowledge
You are accountable to yourself
when you admit limited knowledge.
You know you cannot know every-
thing, even when your grades were
brilliant.
There will be times to ask, to seek
guidance, to be told and not just
by your seniors, but everyone who
may hold the knowledge. The is-
sue is who has the knowledge, not
where they sit on the ladder. You
benet and improve yourself by
constantly seeking knowledge. Every
new knowledge forms a foundation
for greater knowledge and greater
progress.
When you take personal account-
ability seriously you review yourself
frequently to determine whether you
are making progress or not. When
you review yourself you become
more purpose-driven.
Bigger plans
You are not just there because
you have found yourself there, but
because you are purposefully there
to achieve certain objectives that are
part of your bigger plans. You are
able to know how far you have gone
and what remains to be done. You
hold yourself to account.

Kenya Institute of Management.

DR Congo opens huge gold mines
PDR Congo, one of the worlds
biggest gold producers, last Fri-
day formally opened one of the
continents largest gold mines in
the far northeast of the country.
Production at the Kibali mine
started in the third quarter
of 2013, but Mining minister
Martin Kabwelulu on Friday at-
tended an ocial ceremony in
the Province-Orientale region.
Kibali Goldmines, which de-
velops the mine, is a joint ven-
ture 45 per cent owned by South
African mining rm Randgold
Resources, with another 45 per
cent stake held by South Africas
AngloGold Ashanti and 10 per-
cent by the Congolese state.
The $2.5-billion project report-
edly created 7,000 jobs, 80 per
cent of them held by Congolese.
Kibali Goldmines said the
mine should have reserves until
2031, with 550,000 ounces (15.6
tonnes) of gold expected to be
produced this year.
The mine is thought to have
reserves of 11.6 million ounces
(329 tonnes) of gold but could
be higher.
DR Congo has massive re-
sources of gold, copper, and
cobalt but also diamonds, iron,
nickel, manganese, bauxite, ura-
nium and cassiterite, the most
important source of tin. However
most of the countrys people live
in poverty. (AFP)
