S
oldiers have found and de-
stroyed four large camps used
by the heavily armed raiders
who have been terrorising villagers
in Lamu, killing over 80 people in
the past one month.
The camps were found in the expan-
sive Boni forest, which extends from
Kenya to the border with Somalia.
A joint task force tracking down
the raiders comprises units from the
Kenya Defence Forces, the General
Service Unit, the Rapid Deployment
Unit of the Administration Police and
regular police. Lamu County Com-
missioner Njenga Miiri has been
coordinating the security operation.
Security forces were sent to Lamu
after a legal notice was published in
the ocial Kenya Gazette on Tuesday.
The notice, signed by Defence Cabinet
Secretary Raychelle Omamo, quoted
sections of the Constitution, which
authorise KDF to support police op-
erations internally.
Ms Omamos notice read in part:
Notice is given that on July 7, 2014,
the Kenya Defence Forces deployed in
support of the National Police Service
in response to the security emergency
situation in Lamu County.
Sources familiar with the operation
said security forces believe they are
dealing with a large band of radicalised
youth, who were trained by Al-Shabaab
and have been ghting in Somalia,
but have returned to Kenya after the
terrorist group lost ground to African
Union troops that have been restoring
peace in the Horn of Africa nation.
The attackers are reported to be
familiar with the terrain inside Boni
Forest and are also well-armed, all
of which has complicated the crack-
down.
Their way of operating, especially
raids on farms and shops and a dis-
pensary, have suggested that they are
stocking-piling food and medicines.
During the rst raid on Mpeketoni
mid last month, the raiders were said
to have left with packets of rice, beans
and other dry food, including sugar.
There were no reports on whether
the military had killed any of the
raiders.
Other sources said the rst group
of police officers who responded
to the initial raid in which over 60
people were killed were armed only
with light weapons which would not
have matched the raiders sophisti-
cated heavy-calibre guns. This made
it dicult for the ocers to stop the
raiders. However, the involvement
of the military had brought in heavy
weaponry and enhanced the mobility
of the security forces.
The sources denied involvement of
ghter jets in the operation, saying,
residents who have reported seeing
jets probably saw those that were
heading to Somalia where Kenya is
engaged in a military campaign.
The military was last deployed
internally to combat terrorists who
attacked the Westgate shopping mall
in Nairobi last September, and earlier
to ush out the Sabaot Land Defence
Force, who were brutalising residents
in Mt Elgon in western Kenya.
Away from the enhanced crackdown,
Lamu leaders have organised a series
of meetings to preach peace among
residents and restore calm in the
county following the attacks.
County commissioner Miiri said two
meetings had so far been held.
We have held meetings that
brought together opinion and inter-
faith leaders. We had one in Lamu and
another in Mpeketoni as part of peace
and healing process, Mr Miiri said.
Recently, both local and national
elected leaders promised to work to-
gether to foster security and cohesion
among the residents.
Mr Miiri and Lamu Governor Issa
Timamy told a press conference after
the meeting that they would do every-
thing to ensure a return to peace.
We are doing everything to ensure
they are ushed out of their hideouts.
The operation will be carried out until
normalcy returns, Mr Miiri said.
Lamu Senator Mohammed Abu Chi-
aba, Woman Representative Shakila
Abdallah and Lamu East MP Athman
Shari also attended the meeting.
Out on bond
Mr Timamy, who is out on bond
after being charged in relation to the
Lamu raid, said leaders were expecting
a parliamentary committee on national
cohesion and integration.
This meeting is the rst of its kind
since we had the recent issue in our
county. We dont want people to cause
fear among our people because we are
happy with the security measures put
in place, he said.
Mr Timamy also appeared in court
yesterday for a mention of his case.
The prosecution asked for two
more months to continue with in-
vestigations.
Assistant Director of Public
Prosecutions Alexander Muteti said
investigations were now centred on
international crimes and the Proceeds
of Crime Act.
We urge the court to indulge us
for a period of two months given the
number of incidents and suspects,
Mr Muteti told the court.
The prosecutor said that displace-
ment of potential witnesses had made
it dicult for the investigations ocer
to take their statements.
However, defence lawyer Ahmedna-
sir Abdillahi opposed the application,
terming the case as political.

W
hen Mike Okoth Origi left Ken-
yan Premier League side Tusker,
then known as Kenya Breweries
in 1992 in pursuit of a professional career
with Omani side Boshar FC, little did he
know that that marked the beginning a long
football journey that would conne him to
Belgium for the rest of his vocation.
As it turned out, just three months
into his Boshar contact, Okoth, then a
promising striker, found greener pasture
with Belgian side KV Ooestende. It is
here that his professional journey began
in earnest.
The Magic as he is fondly
known, would spend the next
decade playing in the Belgium
Pro Jupiter League with his
most successful season
being 1998-99 when he
helped Racing Genk win
its rst league title.
Back then, no one could
tell that one day, the son of a
Kenyan would represent Belgium
in a World Cup Finals, let alone
score at the historic Mara-
cana Stadium.
However, like a
prophesy whose
time had come, 22
years on, Okoth
and his entire
family would
nd them-
s e l v e s
at the
i coni c
stadium
not only
supporti ng
the Belgium na-
tional football team, but
also jumping for joy when
their 19-year-old son
Divock Origi scored
the all-important goal
that fired the Marc
Wilmots side to the
last 16 of the global
showpiece.
Raw emotions overcame the 46-year-old
Okoth, his wife Linda Adhiambo and their
two daughters as they leapt into the air
on seeing the youngster raise Belgiums
ag higher and to some extent, Kenyas
prole.
Divock playing in the national team is
a great joy. To play and score at the World
Cup was special. Making it in Europe is
never easy. We tried to give him the best
upbringing and as parents its great seeing
your child hit such heights, he told the
Nation in an exclusive telephone interview
from Belgium. He had just returned home
following the Red Devils exit in the quarter
nals in the hands of a Lionel Messi-in-
spired Argentina.
When I came to Europe, it was hard. I
was young and knew that I hard to work
hard and exhibit high levels of discipline to
succeed. Looking back, I am happy that my
move opened doors for other Kenyan play-
ers, said the legendary striker who became
Kenyas pioneer player in Europe.
Since his move overseas 20 years
ago many players, notably Dennis
Oliech (France), MacDonald
Mariga (Italy), Victor Wanyama
(England) and Okoths nephew
Arnold Origi (Norway) have
followed his footsteps.
Okoth, who holds both
Kenyan and Belgium citi-
zenship as does his entire family,
takes pride in the achievement Di-
vock has had.
Every step the young striker
has made has been through
his guidance. For instance,
when Divock left home at
a tender age of 15 to
join Lille famed
academy, it
proved to be a
master stroke.
The first
priority was
his (Divocks) de-
velopment. France
takes a lot of interest
in developing players.
They have coaches who
constantly work with young-
sters to realise their full potential
and I knew France was the best
place to be.
Among the factors that helped
Divock settle at The Great Danes
as the club is fondly known was the
presence of Eden Hazard. Divock
had been good friends with the Chelsea
wingers younger brother in their formative
years in Belgium, and it was during this
period that they forged strong rapport.
He (Hazard) took Divock under his
wing as his own brother and helped him
settle down. It was a new country and a
new challenge for a young boy.
Assessing his sons growth and impact at
the World Cup nals, the former Harambee
Stars talisman said that discipline and his
sons talent proved key.
For us as a family discipline is para-
mount. Not just with me but even with
the likes of Austin (Oduor). It is the same
virtues that we instilled in Divock. In foot-
ball you can never make it far unless you
behave well. Apart from that, he is techni-
cally gifted and has real talent, he said.
Okoth is however guarded regarding the
strikers future in the wake of heightened
reports that Liverpool boss Brendan Rodg-
ers is set to agree on a Sh1.5 billion move
for the player.
We just came from Brazil and he is still
trying to recover. We have not exactly de-
cided what he is going to do. We know there
are a number of oers on the table. We will
sit down and review. We have to put into
consideration what is best for him.
Should the striker make a move to
Merseyside, he will achieve another feat
by becoming the rst player of Kenyan
descent to play for major EPL side.
He has received rave reviews across
global media and his father reads from
the same script.
Reecting on his sons call to the Belgium
squad by Marc Wilmot, Okoth said that it
was shocker. We did not expect him to be
called. It was a surprise, but the beauty is
that from the rst day they (team mates)
gave him a warm welcome.
After a few training sessions, they knew
what he was made of and that he was World
Cup material; they took notice of him.
Away from football Okoth says he misses
Kenya but has mixed feeling. Im comfort-
able in both environments. My wife and I
see ourselves as Kenyan-Belgians, but for
the children they are Belgians. They are
more at home here.
Until three years ago, Okoth would visit
Kenya twice every year especially during
winter. I did so to ensure the children ap-
preciated their heritage. They are always
willing to come there for holiday.
As part of inculcating the rich Kenyan
culture, the Okoths speak strictly Kiswahili
at home and also converse in Dholuo.

The plan launched on Monday to
re-organise government sta ap-
pears to have split trade unions, as
fears over retrenchment mount.
Yesterday, Cotu (Central Organi-
sation of Trade Unions) accused
the Union of Kenya Civil Servants
of selling out its members in a
plan that will lead to massive job
losses.
At a press conference in
Nairobi, Cotu executive board
member Earnest Nadome said
the government was using the
very terminology it used in the
lay-os of the 1990s.
We want to set the records
straight; the terminology being
used now is akin to what we used
to hear in early 1990s from the
World Bank and IMF, he said
Misleading Kenyans
Mr Nadome was with ve other
representatives of unions under
Cotu and questioned their exclu-
sion from the plan, yet Union of
Kenya Civil Servants, which be-
longs to the rival Federation of
Public Service Trade Unions has
been involved.
But Mr Tom Odege, Secretary-
General of Union of Kenya Civil
Servants accused Cotu of mislead-
ing Kenyans, saying some unions
aliated to it have been included
in technical committees working
on the reorganisation.

Secretary Anne Waiguru and Public
Service Commission chairperson
Margaret Kobia while making the
announcement assured Kenyans
that there will be no job cuts.

A
golden handshake of
Sh480,000 had been proposed
for retiring senior civil servants
in an aborted plan to rationalise sta
in the public service and reduce the
wage bill.
A condential document seen by
the Nation reveals that junior civil
servants, who were to be retired, were
to pick up a Sh360,000 cheque as
their exit package.
The document prepared in May
last year by then Acting Principal
Secretary at the Ministry of State
for Public Service Ms Njoki Kahiga
had targeted 50,000 civil servants
for retirement.
It was, however, rejected in its
entirety by the Union of Kenya Civil
Servants and will now be used as a
reference point in the just- launched
rationalisation for national and county
public servants.
The technical team will propose
attractive packages and alternative
livelihood for those willing to quit
the public service.
It will also develop avenues for ap-
peal for those who may feel aggrieved
by the outcome.
Consulting rm Ernst and Young
has been hired for the job and will
work alongside the technical team
drawn from the Public Service Com-
mission (PSC) and UKCS.
Others are the Council of Gover-
nors, the Salaries and Remuneration
Commission, the Commission for the
Implementation of the Constitution
(CIC), the Transitional Authority,
Attorney Generals oce and the Min-
istry of Devolution and Planning.
The entire process, including the
implementation of the teams recom-
mendations will cost Sh1.2 billion and
will be completed early next year.
The document prepared by the
government had proposed a safety
net package of Sh360,000, a three
months salary in lieu of notice and a
severance payment of three months
basic salary for each of the remaining
years in service for non-pensionable
public servants aged 50 years and
below.
Permanent and pensionable civil
servants aged 50 years and below were
to get a Sh360,000 golden handshake,
three months gross salary in lieu of
notice, a severance payment of half-
a-month basic salary for each of the
remaining years in service in addition
to gratuity and pension.
Non-pensionable civil servants
aged below 50 years were to receive
Sh480,000, a severance package of
three months basic salary for the years
worked in government at the time of
retiring, three months gross salary
in lieu of notice and National Social
Security Fund benets.
Permanent and pensionable em-
ployees below 50 years were to be
given Sh480,000, severance pay-
ment of three months salary in lieu
of notice and a severance payment
of 15 days basic salary for each year
worked.
The document had proposed a cri-
teria of last-in-rst-out in determining
public servants to be retired to reduce
the public wage bill.
The technical team will be expected
to develop a staff rationalisation
strategy that will determine how
many workers will be transferred or
re-deployed to areas experiencing a
shortage of sta.
Speaking during the launch of the
exercise on Monday, Union of Kenya
Civil Servants secretary-general Tom
Odege maintained that no public serv-
ant will be retired against their will
and that attractive packages will be
oered.

F
ive members of the House
Justice and Legal Aairs
Committee were last
evening reported to have diered
with others on whether to send
the members of the electoral
agency home.
The Orange Democratic Move-
ment (ODM) members were said
to have been preparing a minor-
ity report. The committee has
29 members.
Sources at the meeting said
those backing the minority re-
port were Peter Kaluma (Homa
Bay Town), David Ochieng
(Ugenya), Agostino Neto
(Ndhiwa), Christine Ombaka
(Siaya Woman Rep) and Tom
Kajwang (Ruaraka).
This means the committee,
which is scheduled to inform the
House of its verdict will table two
reports instead of one.
A Jubilee member of the com-
mittee was reported to have
expressed reservations with
the decision of his colleagues be-
cause the Independent Electoral
and Boundaries Commission
(IEBC) is yet to pay clerks who
worked in his constituency dur-
ing the last General Election.
Committee members headed
into a meeting at 5pm still split
along political lines. The situ-
ation had not changed as they
worked on recommendations to
the House.
Once tabled, the House Busi-
ness Committee will give MPs
time to study the report and
then have it placed on the Order
Paper for debate and possible
adoption.
All reports from committees
have to be adopted. A rejection
means the House is not in agree-
ment with the committee.
Those from Jubilee argue that
the petition by political activist
Wafula Buke does not meet the
threshold to have the National
Assembly ask the President to
set up a tribunal to investigate
the commissioners and possibly
have them removed.
Mr Kaluma had earlier yester-
day called a press conference to
talk about the minority report on
the petition but later called it o
because he would have broken
House rules by discussing com-
mittee matters in the public.
The rules allow members of
a committee who disagree with
its ndings to have their dissent
recorded in the report.
House committees generally
prefer to present a united front
because a split usually results in
the debate on whether the report
should be adopted, acquiring a
purely political dimension.
Speaker Justin Muturi had
initially given the Committee
14 days to submit its report
on the petition but the House
later agreed to give it a 30-day
extension.
This means the report should
be submitted today.
Mr Bukes asserts that the
commissioners were in viola-
tion of the Constitution and were
responsible for incompetence in
the management of the elections
in 2013.

JUBILEE VS CORD | Political loyalties overtake issues
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A team of detectives is investi-
gating the disappearance of Sh10
million from the National Youth
Service college in Gilgil, Nakuru.
Area police boss Serah Koki
said the investigators had un-
earthed crucial leads that could
help recover the cash earmarked
to pay allowances for thousands
of recruits.
She said there were fears the
recruits might revolt on learning
that money for their allowances
had vanished. Senior ocers held
a meeting with them.
It is not yet clear how the cash
disappeared from the highly
guarded college.
Ms Koki said three guards who
were on duty the night the money
vanished have been arrested.
National Youth Service direc-
tor-general Nelson Githinji said
the college had been secured and
workers in the accounts depart-
ment were working with the police
trying to unravel the matter.

The great grandson of
Scouts Movement founder
Lord Baden-Powell has
been jailed for life for the
murder of his wife.
Gerard Baden-Clay, 43,
was sentenced to life for
killing his wife Allison the
mother of their three chil-
dren during an argument
at their home in the Austral-
ian city of Brisbane.
Lord Baden-Powell
(right), who is buried in
Nyeri, is revered not only
in Kenya but across the
globe. He and his wife
Olive fell in love with Ken-
yas countryside and in his
will, he directed that he be
buried on the slopes of Mt
Kenya, placing the country
at the centre of one of the
worlds most influential
youth and student move-
ments history.
Baden-Clay was found
guilty of murdering his
beauty queen wife and
dumping her body in a
river, according to British
newspaper The Telegraph.
At the time, in April 2012,
Baden-Clays estate agency
business was reported to
have been in debt and he
had a series of aairs.
The court heard from his
lover at the time, Ms Toni
McHugh, that he said he
would be out of his marriage
by July 1 of that year.
An Australian newspaper,
The Courier Mail, reported
that Baden-Clay had created
a dating prole under the
name of Bruce Overland
who was a married man
looking for discrete [sic]
sex.
It was also disclosed that
Ms Melissa Romano, who
was interviewed for a job at
Baden-Clays business ve
years ago, had been asked
to kill his wife.
Ms Romano said she tried
to laugh o the suggestion
as a joke, but Baden-Clay
said he was serious. An in-
vestigation was launched,
but police ruled that it
was merely his attempt to
seduce Miss Romano.
A jury took 21 hours to
convict Baden-Clay, who
will spend a minimum of 15
years in prison. The family
of his wife cheered in court
when the sentence was read
out on Tuesday at the end
of a six-week trial.

Without an inquiry from the MPs

It is understood that the Attor-

attend House sittings.
A senior member of the House
told the Nation last evening that
the matter was still the subject of

The CSs can either come to

We are looking into these two op-

The issue is being tackled by

security. The Presidents Coast
tour comes soon after his visit to
western Kenya. It is an indication
of his eorts to woo populous but
uncommitted regions well ahead
of the next election.
The stir caused by the Cord
campaign for a national referen-
dum on key issues seems to have
added a sense of urgency to the
electioneering mode.
In western Kenya, President
Kenyatta delivered a basketful of
goodies, launched road projects
and promised to complete those
that had stalled.
On the Coast tour starting in
Taita Taveta County, the Presi-
dent is scheduled to set in motion
the construction of a road linking
the area to Tanzania.
The President and Mr Ruto
will then head to Kwale, a county
whose leaders have in the past
accused the government of ex-
cluding it from development.
North Eastern is next on the
Presidents schedule.
Even though State House de-
nied that the presidential tours
were political, political scientist
Peter Kagwanja argued that the
Jubilee administration had cho-
sen development as a weapon to
respond to Cords pressure.
He (President Kenyatta) is
juxtaposing politics of dierence
with politics of development es-
pecially in areas that stand out
as vulnerable to Cords latest
political rhetoric. He is trying to
show Kenyans in those areas that
the challenges facing the country
are more than politics, Prof Kag-
wanja told the Daily Nation.
By visiting western Kenya,
Taita Taveta, Kwale and with
North Eastern on the cards, the
Jubilee leaders were seeking to
solve some of the challenges that
have been raised by Cord in their
demand for a referendum.
Among the issues that Cord
wants addressed are insecurity,
government appointments, land
and high cost of living.
On Monday last week, Cord
leader Raila Odinga led a rally
at Uhuru Park, Nairobi, where
he demanded a referendum to
nd solutions to the challenges
facing the country. Mr Kenyatta
and Mr Ruto have dismissed the
calls for a referendum, saying they
will focus on development.
In western, he addressed the
issue of exclusion from govern-
ment and lack of development; in
Taita Taveta, he will deal with the
issue of land; in Kwale he will face
the challenge of radicalisation and
exclusion while in North Eastern
he will deal with the Somali ques-
tion, said Prof Kagwanja.
However, State House spokes-
man Manoah Esipisu said the
President was carrying out his
mandate by visiting parts of
the country. He conrmed that
Mr Kenyatta will be in Garissa
next week.
The Presidents mandate takes
him everywhere in the country to
meet his people. It is normal for
him to visit all parts of the country
in pursuit of delivery of the prom-
ises he pledged. Kenyans should
expect to see him soon wherever
they are, he said in a telephone
interview yesterday.
State Media Relations Director
Munyori Buku said President
Kenyatta and his deputy would
not engage in empty politics.
They do not have the luxury of
politicking because they have the
task of fullling the mandate they
were given by Kenyans in 2013. That
mandate includes developing all
parts of the country in line with the
key objectives of Vision 2030, said
Mr Buku. When they were elected,
they ceased being Jubilee leaders. If
they get support in those areas, that
can only be a dividend.
Senate Majority Leader Kithure
Kindiki said Mr Kenyatta and Mr
Ruto owed Kenyans development
regardless of the politics spear-
headed by Cord.
The President is aware, even
without the incitement of Cord, of
the desperation of Kenyans who
are facing high cost of living, in-
security, poverty gaps and lack of
jobs. But he is aware that these
challenges cannot be addressed
by politicking, he said.
In western Kenya last week,
where he launched the construc-
tion of Navakholo-Bungoma,
Turbo-Sikhendu, Kakamega-
Kisumu roads and expedited
the completion of the Sigala-
gala-Butere Road, Mr Kenyatta
asked residents to reconcile their
political dierences.
Yesterday, Lugari MP Ayub Sa-
vula said leaders from the region
would work with the government
if the projects that the President
promised would be implemented.
He said already, Sh60 million for
the Sigalagala-Butere road had
been released.

Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko
yesterday led a suit against Cord
leaders over remarks they allegedly
made during their Saba Saba rally
at Uhuru Park a week ago.
Mr Sonko wants the Op-
position leaders jailed for six
months, and has singled out
fellow senators James Orengo,
Johnstone Muthama, Otieno
Kajwang and Elizabeth Ongoro
for allegedly breaching a consent
Cord had signed against inciting
the public.
Against presidency
The Jubilee senator told a High
Court judge yesterday that the
politicians had made inammatory
and derogatory statements against
the presidency, which amounted
to incitement and contempt of a
court order.
Initially, he wanted the court
to stop the rally on grounds that
mass action would plunge the
country into violence, but Justice
Isaac Lenaola rejected the request.
However, he gave an accompanying
warning that the forum should not
be used to fan violence and be void
of defamatory remarks.
Justice Lenaola asked Senator
Sonko to serve the parties named
in the new suit, including the In-
terior secretary and the inspector
general of police, before Monday
next week and return to court for
further directions.

Cord leaders yesterday
claimed the government
was planning to arrest
them.
Coalition principals Raila
Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka
and Moses Wetangula said
they were aware of a con-
dential government letter
allegedly written by Public
Service head and National
Security Advisory Council
(NSAC) chairman Joseph
Kinyua seeking advice on
possible treason charges
against them.
They claimed the letter,
stamped top secret, was
an attempt to reinvent the
law on sedition.
Enough proof
Reading a statement, Mr
Musyoka said there was
an attempt by the govern-
ment to initiate politically
motivated arrests against
Opposition leaders.
He said the letter, ad-
dressed to the State Law
Oce, was enough proof
that someone in the Jubi-
lee administration wanted
them detained.
Reference is made to
the NSAC meeting held
on Monday 23 June, 2014
where various issues of
national security concern
were discussed, reads the
letter.
The Solicitor-General,
State Law Oce, to advice
NSAC on the application of
the law on treason in rela-
tion to political incitement
aimed at taking over power
through unconstitutional
means, it further says.
The letter was addressed
to Solicitor-General Njee
Muturi and copied to Attor-
ney-General Githu Muigai.
Prof Muigai yesterday
said he had not seen the
letter. I have not received
a copy. Maybe it is because
I have been away. I just re-
turned from The Hague.
The solicitor-generals of-
ce could not immediately
respond as Mr Muturi was
said to be in a meeting.
At the press conference,
Mr Musyoka insisted that
the letter demonstrated
Jubilees desire to use the
law of treason to achieve its
political objectives.
The Cord leaders also
questioned the composi-
tion of both the NSAC and
National Security Council
whose membership, said Mr
Musyoka, was dominated by
one community.
Mr Odinga, on his part,
said Cords plans for a ref-
erendum on a number of
issues were on course a
top team of advisors and
major players that will drive
the coalitions agenda would
be unveiled next week.

F
ive men were gunned down in
separate incidents in Nairobi
yesterday.
Four were killed by an undercover
police squad while another was
gunned by a controversial business-
man on Tuesday night.
The four had been involved in
carjacking and robberies in the city,
Nairobi Deputy Police Commander
Moses Ombati said.
They were killed near the East
African Breweries headquarters, o
Thika Superhighway at 11am.
Flying Squad officers had been
tracking the gang through mobile
phone.
The hunt followed an incident two
days before in which a UN ocial
was robbed at gun point in Gigiri,
Nairobi.
Police found a pistol with bullets
on one of them after the shooting,
said Mr Ombati.
The ocers caught up with them
while they were on a mission to com-
mit yet another robbery, he said.
When the ocers stopped them,
one of them started shooting, Mr
Ombati said.
In the other incident, businessman
Paul Kobia was disarmed after he re-
ported that he had shot and killed a
gangster at 7.45pm in City Park,
Parklands, o Limuru Road.
He imports and exports gold. Police
in 2011 investigated a case involving
the smuggling of gold worth Sh8 bil-
lion from the Democratic Republic of
Congo through Kenya.
The matter attracted the inter-
vention of former President Mwai
Kibaki and his DRC counterpart
Joseph Kabila.
The incident involving the business-
man happened in the outskirts.

A
company claiming ex-
clusive rights to radio
frequencies for the
multi-billion shilling security
surveillance system has sued
the regulatory agency for
contempt.
Tetra Radio Ltd wants
Communications Authority
of Kenya (CAK) ocials jailed
for awarding the Sh14 billion
contract to Safaricom in spite
of a court order blocking the
cancellation of a licence issued
to the company.
The company wants CAK
boss Francis Wangusi and
board members Ben Gituku,
Wilbert Kipsang, Kennedy
Nyaundi, Grace Munjuri, Levi
Obonyo, Hellen Kinoti, Beat-
rice Opee and Peter Munywoki
cited for contempt.
Lawyer Stephen Mwenesi
said the authority had acted
with impunity in collaboration
with the Ministry of Interior to
award the contract to Safari-
com. CAK has continued with
its blatant contempt of court
by entering into an illegal
contract involving the Minis-
try of Interior and Safaricom
in a calculated move to deny
Tetra its entitlement, he said.
Tetra says it was awarded the
contract in 2002 by the then
Communications Commission
of Kenya and issued with se-
curity radio frequencies for
surveillance cameras.
It says the commission tried
to cancel the licence in 2008
but the company moved to
court and was granted con-
servatory orders by Justice
George Dulu barring any
interference.
Quashing bid
The orders were reiterated
by Justice Jeanne Gacheche
in 2011 when she quashed
the bid to cancel the licence
and barred CCK from issuing
another.
Contravening those orders
amounts to serious disrespect
for the court. The use of those
frequencies by another com-
pany other than Tetra Radio
is null and void, said Mr
Mwenesi.
The rm is also seeking the
status quo of the 2008 court
order to remain. If granted,
this will stall installation of the
surveillance cameras.
The government contracted
Safaricom in May to install the
sophisticated security system
that would enable police to
pick out a terror suspect
from a crowded street and
track his or her every move
from miles away.

A food safety authority wants
orders blocking it from recalling
and stopping the sale of a seasoning
product lifted.
The National Biosafety Author-
ity argued that the Aromat food
seasoning had been found by other
government agencies to contain ge-
netically modied content, which puts
the lives of consumers at risk.
We want the orders lifted or varied
since the product is illegally in the
market. The interests of consumers
should supersede business interests
in matters that aect peoples lives,
said lawyer Jotham Arwa.
Justice Isaac Lenaola, however, de-
clined to lift the orders and directed
both the authority and Unilever
Kenya Ltd to put in their responses
and submissions before the hearing
on July 22.
Lawyer Kamau Karori representing
Unilever in opposing the application
argued that Aromat had been in the
market for 13 years and the bid to
have it withdrawn from the market
on claims it contains GM content
was unjustied.
Allegations that it contains GM
content is a matter of fact which will
require the court to summon the
manufacturers and the government
agencies which carried the tests to
prove.
There is no report of any adverse
eects to an individual due to use of
Aromat, said Mr Karori.

handling 20 cases which are at
various stages of investigation
and hearing.
Mr Yumbya attributed the rise
in complaints filed before the
board to implementation of the
national patients rights charter,
which, he said, had educated peo-
ple on how to access justice.
The complaints are of negli-
gence by doctors, carelessness
and indierence by nurses and
lack of basic equipment in hos-
pitals. The Constitution, which
provides for citizens rights
and media freedom, has made
it possible for the issues to be
highlighted, he added.
One of the matters the board
handled related to Ms Seraphine
Akinyi Atinga, who died after a
surgical operation went wrong.
Ms Atinga was admitted to
Kisumu East District Hospital
on July 24, 2009 for removal of
broids.
After the operation, the wound
started emitting a foul smell. An-
other operation was conducted to
clean her womb.
However, she developed com-
plications and was transferred
to the New Nyanza Provincial
General Hospital (now Jaramogi
Oginga Odinga Teaching and
Referral Hospital), where a third
operation was done.
She was then moved to the Moi
Teaching and Referral Hospital in
Eldoret, where she died.
On December 16, 2009, Mr
Godfrey Juma Nyatigi, her
husband, filed a complaint of
professional negligence with the
board, against Dr Francis Ayugi
Otieno, Dr Aggrey Akula and Kis-
umu East District Hospital.
The board referred the mat-
ter to its Preliminary Inquiry
Committee, which investigated
it before it was forwarded for
hearing before a Professional
Conduct Committee that was
chaired by Dr Ojwang Lusi.
The committees members
were Dr Elly Nyaim Opot, Dr
Dan Raburu, Dr Samson Wanjala,
Dr John Mbogo Adek, Mrs Alice
Mwongela, Mr Peter Munge and
Mr Yumbya, the boards chief
executive.
Appearing before it, Dr Otieno
conrmed in his evidence that
prior to the second operation,
faecal material was oozing from
the patients wound.
After questioning several peo-
ple, the team found that despite
the doctor knowing about the
discharge, he failed to consult
another surgeon. He should not
have closed the abdomen that had
been contaminated without get-
ting another opinion, they said.
The committee ruled that Dr
Otieno did a third operation with-
out seeking a second opinion in
spite of previous unsuccessful at-
tempts, for which they ordered
that he be admonished.
The team concluded that the
charge against the surgeon had
been proven satisfactorily.
Dr Otieno should also furnish
the Board with evidence of a valid
Professional Indemnity Cover for
his private practice licence within
a period of 14 days after the rul-
ing, the committee said.
Dr Otieno was further ordered
to pay Sh100,000 to the board
within 30 days after the ruling.
Regarding Dr Akula, the com-
mittee held that he had failed to
notify a surgeon on time.
Dr Akula had said in his
evidence that he consulted the
surgeon, Dr Otieno, when he
was conducting a hysterectomy
on the patient hence the surgeon
arrived after the procedure was
complete.
The committee nds that the
above action was a late consul-
tation despite the fact that Dr

Simple hand surgery
resulted in loss of life
BY GRIFFINS OMWENGA
gomwenga@ke.nationmedia.com
From pain in the left hand
to a botched minor operation
to a cardiac arrest and brain
complications that is the
sad story of Lucy Mwarania
Kirimi, who died in unclear
circumstances.
On August 8, 2011, Ms Kirimi
complained of pain in her left
hand and was taken to PCEA
Kikuyu Mission Hospital for
examination.
This, however, opened a can
of worms for her, including an
incorrect diagnosis.
Surgery was recommended,
and she was booked for Octo-
ber 25, 2011.
During the operation, her
daughter, Ms Esther Njagi,
was told that her mother had
developed cardiac arrest and
had to be revived. Ms Kirimi
was taken to the hospitals in-
tensive care unit (ICU).
Family members sensed dan-
ger, but the hospital reassured
them that she was well, her
vital life signs ne, but then
she was in a coma. This re-
quired the services of a chest
specialist, which the hospital
did not have.
The patient was then trans-
ferred to Karen Hospital.
Medical reports show she
had developed a condition
when she was initially admitted
for surgery at PCEA Kikuyu.
Her family was kept in the dark
over this, only receiving direc-
tions of referral from sta.
Giving them answers
The hospital was not giving
them answers on what was hap-
pening and the way forward,
reads a medical report from
the Medical Practitioners and
Dentists Board.
She was moved to various
other hospitals, some of which
were reluctant to take over her
case due to the complications
she had already suered.
The board found PCEA
Kikuyu Hospital culpable for
Ms Kirimis death and on top
of paying Sh250,000 to the
board, it was also ordered to
compensate the family.

A
doctor and the mission
hospital he worked for have
been found responsible for
the death of a man, who had been
attacked by gangsters.
The family of Mr Henry Gicheru,
who died at Kenyatta National Hos-
pital in 2010 after he was referred
there, is seeking compensation
after the Medical Practitioners and
Dentists Board found Dr Patrick
Kimpiatu and PCEA Kikuyu Hos-
pital accountable.
The board was chaired by Prof
George Magoha (right).
In a May 6 ruling, the boards
disciplinary committee found Dr
Kimpiatu, who was surgeon and
chief executive at the hospital, and
his employer, liable for medical neg-
ligence and misdiagnosis.
A brother of Mr Gicheru, Mr
George Njuguna, told the commit-
tee that the patient was admitted to
the hospital in Kiambu County on
November 19, 2010 with gunshot
wounds in the stomach.
He said the medical team at the
hospital failed to remove a bullet
from Mr Gicherus spine and to deal
with faecal matter oozing through the
gunshot wound in the stomach.
Mr Njuguna also accused the team
led by Dr Kimpiatu of keeping the
family in the dark on the condition
of the patient and for delaying
his transfer to KNH. The doctor
(Kimpiatu) said he had removed
the bullet, but an X-ray showed a
strange object, which he said were
bullet fragments, he said.
The family also accuses the doc-
tor of performing a second operation
without its consent in which the bul-
let was reportedly removed.
In his defence, the surgeon said the
bullet had not been removed in the
rst operation as the patient required
stabilising for a few days.
Dr Kimpiatu blamed the nurses
and the patients family for letting
him take water, porridge and juice
orally despite orders that he be fed
intravenously. He said the patient
was transferred to KNH due to the
fact that his breathing was laboured.
He denied delaying the referral.
Gunshot wound
In his postmortem report, gov-
ernment pathologist Johansen
Oduor said he noted evidence of
post-surgical stitch wounds on the
abdomen.
Dr Oduor, who carried out the
postmortem at the request of
Kikuyu Police Station ocers, said
the cause of death was peritonitis
(inflammation of the membrane
lining the organs in the stomach
cavity from infection) due to perfo-
ration of a repaired gunshot wound
to the colon. The seven-member
disciplinary panel, led by Dr Jonah
Mwangi, noted that although Dr
Kimpiatu and his team made the
correct diagnosis and the proper
treatment plan initiated, technical
decisions during subsequent surgery
were wanting.
The panel said it was not clear
whether an abdominal drain was left
in situ after the rst operation. It ap-
peared that monitoring of the patient
in terms of laboratory investigations
and abdominal girth measurements
was wanting, they said.
The hospital was cleared of
negligence but found culpable for

O
kwiri Oduor was this
week announced
winner of the 2014
Caine Prize for African
Writing. Her winning story,
My Fathers Head, was
inspired (if that is the right
way to put this) by the loss
of her father.
Okwiri is the third Kenyan
to win the prize after
Binyavanga Wainaina in
2002 and Yvonne Adhiambo
in 2003, placing Kenya
second in the Caine Prize
winner league, behind
Nigeria that has bagged ve.
This also means that
Kenya has won the most
Caine Prizes in East Africa.
Uganda has one, with
Monica Arac de Nyekos
2007 win for Jambula Tree,
a naughty story about
adolescent irtation with
forbidden lesbian fantasies.
So we wait for Tanzania.
Rwanda has a clutch of
prize-winning authors, with
perhaps Immaculee Ilibagiza
being top of the class. Her
rst book, the 2006, Left to
Tell: Discovering God Amidst
the Rwandan Holocaust, has
been much read. She has
ve books to her name.
Fellow countrywoman
Scholastique Mukasonga,
won Frances prestigious
Renaudot prize for her book
Notre-Dame du Nil (Our
Lady of the Nile), another
story based on the Rwandan
genocide.
When it comes to the
Caine Prize, in this neck
of the woods, an equally
interesting story is that of
Bill Kahora, the Kwani?
editor.
Though he hasnt won,
Kahora is perhaps the most
shortlisted author. This year,
his novel, The Applications,
was shortlisted, and in 2012
his story, Urban Zoning, was
also on the list. In 2007
his Treadmill Love received
special commendation from
the Caine Prize judges.
With all the Caine Prize
buzz, I thought I would
write about where stories
come from.
Most African stories
still come from alienation,
pain, struggle, loss,
disillusionment, and anger.
Seems we dont yet have the
luxury to write about fun
and happy stories of boy
meets girl, they fall in love,
get married, raise a nice
healthy family, live happily
ever after in a countryside
cabin surrounded by
owers, and die when they
are gracefully bent at the
age of 100.
Then, I thought I should
write instead about where
our stories go to die. The
answer to that has become
clich stories go to die
with African readers. They
dont read books. If they
do, they learn nothing from
them. The few who learn
something, forget very
quickly.
Even popular books in
Africa dont grow wings.
Our cartoonists will not
derive a character from
it, and no lmmaker will
make a movie out of it, like
what happened with J.K.
Rowlings Harry Porter
books.
So if you are a writer in
Africa, except perhaps in a
few cases in South Africa
and Egypt where they read
a little more than the rest
of us, you will go hungry if
you expect to make a living
o the sales of your books
at home. You will get a
cheque from your publisher
in London or New York if
you land a book deal from
there, but you have to do the
lecture circuit (again outside
Africa) to pay the bills.
But is it all a bad thing
that African readers kill
books? Maybe not. Reading
means you acquire more
knowledge, become a more
enlightened citizen, and
begin to demand more
of your government and
institutions.
I suspect, though, that
knowing and expecting too
much in Africa can be bad
for your mental health. It
means you will hear the
Finance minister reading
the budget, and know that
all the things he is saying
will be done wont happen.
You will drive by as roads
are being built, and you will
see immediately that the
contractor has eaten half
the money, and is doing a
sub-standard job.
You will talk to the
nations young people and
gure out immediately
they are getting a hopeless
education.
You will see what the rest
of the world is doing, and
become aware that your
country is losing time and
you are being left behind. It
is dicult to get out of bed
every morning and work
hard all day if you know that
tomorrow will not be better,
or that in two years, your
investment will be destroyed
in election violence.
Yet, often, it is doing
something whose outcome
you are not sure of that
changes the history of
events. Maybe we dont
read, because we are aware
of the burden of knowledge.
If we knew too much, we
wouldnt try. Ours might
just be grand strategic
ignorance.

WHAT OTHERS SAY | Charles Onyango-Obbo
Okwiri wins Caine Prize: We dont
read is there a good reason for it?
Johos demands and
threats truly odious
A
dispute between the governor of
Mombasa and the National Governments
administration and security apparatus in
the county recently saw the former threaten to
repossess vehicles donated to the Police Service.
The threat from Governor Hassan Joho, though
later rescinded, was absolutely unbecoming.
If any county government nds it t to help
enhance security operations by providing vehicles
or other equipment to the National Police Service
operating within its jurisdiction, it has no right to
reclaim the property under any circumstances.
In the case of Mombasa, the police cars were
provided by the local business community, through
the governors inuence, and therefore, any claim to
them would be completely spurious.
This is unlike the case in Machakos where the
administration of Governor Alfred Mutua has
bought cars for the police using public funds. Even
in the latter case, the cars cease being the property
of the buyer once handed over.
The bizarre threat by Mr Joho brings to light
a fundamental issue that must be made clear
once and for all: Any such donations must be
accompanied by the requisite paperwork to record
the change of ownership. The issue of recall,
withdrawal or repossession must never arise.
Secondly, the issue of the donor providing drivers
should not arise because non-members of the
Police Service must never be given duties that are
the exclusive preserve of gazetted ocers.
It must be very clear that police cars, once
donated, will only be used by the Police Service
for regular security operations, with no special
consideration for the vanities of the donor.
This will deal with the problem where some
governors demand an excessive number of patrol
cars, and even ambulances, in their motorcades
simply because they helped provide them.
Navy doing a good job
A
t a time when the security forces are on
the spot over the frequent terrorist attacks,
some of their achievements may be glossed
over or totally ignored. After all, the authorities are
under intense pressure, worrying about where the
next assault might occur.
However, this need not discourage security
ocials from doing their work with the diligence
expected of them, thanks to their expertise and the
resources put at their disposal.
The Kenya Navy, which continues to provide
back-up for military operations in Somalia, has
maintained vigilance in our territorial waters to
keep our enemies at bay.
The Navy deserves praise for its signicant
contribution to the war against the tracking of
hard drugs, with the impounding of a ship with a
heroin haul two weeks ago.
This breakthrough, coming on the heels of a
similar seizure o Kenyas coast by the Australian
Navy, is commendable.
It is ample proof that the security challenge in
some parts has not dampened the spirits of the
personnel charged with protecting the country from
internal and external aggression.

PAIN OF DISPOSSESSION | Ibrahim Mwathane
P
erhaps you hold a lease
from government and
have put up commercial
units or a residence. But here
comes some gentleman one
early morning ashing a set
of papers, pronouncing you a
trespasser.
He meticulously takes you
through the lease he holds to
the property, complete with
all stamps from the Lands
ministry, following which he
demands that you vacate.
Confused, you rummage
through your pile of
condential documents to get
the set of papers you believe
relate to your ownership. Its
then that the truth hits you.
The lease in your custody
expired two years back. You
are utterly devastated.
This has happened to a
number of citizens. I shared
the information during a
recent forum facilitated by
the National Anti-Corruption
Campaign Steering
Committee, giving tips on how
to confront corruption in our
land administration system.
As I write, Kenyans who
held 99-year leases issued
between 1900 and 1920 in
parts of Parklands, River Road
and Biashara Street in Nairobi
face such dire prospects.
Sadly, due to our familiarity
with rural land rights enjoyed
from ancestral communal land
and those held under freehold
tenure, many of us have not
quite internalised the practical
limitations of leasehold rights
that go with urban properties
So, after investing in
properties in town, many
retire to the rural areas only
to occasionally visit the city
to check on their properties
or to collect rent. They hardly
consult ownership documents
for lease expiry dates. Should
the leases expire, such
properties can be reallocated.
The same fate could meet
owner-occupied properties
where leases expire. There
are also cases where property
owners die, leaving behind
beneciaries totally unaware
that the leases require periodic
renewal. These, too, can be
easily reallocated after the
leases expiry.
But there are also cases
where owners apply for
extension of leases only to
suer delays and frustrations
from persons outside or inside
the Lands ministry keen on
beneting from the lapsed
leases. Such leases could
expire and get reallocated to
other people.
It would be important to
remember that a lease term
runs from the date of issue.
So if a businessman bought
property in River Road in 1970
whose 99-year lease issue
date was 1910, then, unless
extended, the lease expired
in 2009. This left the then
Commissioner of Lands with
legal latitude to reallocate
such property to some other
deserving persons.
It would help if we all
appreciated the nature of
leases and kept a good account
of the expiry dates so that
we seek renewal way before
expiry. Where borrowers die,
lending institutions holding
their leasehold properties as
collateral must nd and inform
the heirs about such properties
in good time to facilitate
timely renewal.
Negligence by such
institutions in this regard
has undermined extensions,
hence adversely exposing such
properties.
But a big appeal to the
government. Through its
circular dated January 23,
2012, the government froze
all dispositions of public
land, including renewal of
leases, until the National Land
Commission came into oce.
This Commission assumed
oce in February 2013.
Even then, institutional
disagreements on how and
who is to process extension of
leases following the exit of the
Commissioner of Lands have
left applicants waiting without
direction for over two years.
This gap has, in some cases,
been exploited by masters
of fraud to produce parallel
leases. Court cases led on
account of such parallel leases
occasion needless costs and
frustrations to the bona de
property owners.
Since the delays are
government occasioned, all
leaseholds that expired within
the last three to ve years
ought to be automatically
renewed. Moreover, holders of
leases that expired after the
coming into eect of the new
Lands Act on May 2, 2012, are
protected by this new law.
The law requires that the
previous owner, if a Kenyan,
enjoys the rst right of
reallocation unless the land
is needed for public use
by the national or county
government. Furthermore,
to promote development, no
Kenyan should lose his or
her developed land without
compensation.

management (mwathane@land

Leaseholders should be protected from

T
he media landscape is constantly
undergoing innovation and
reinvention. The biggest change
in the recent past has been digital
technology.
Digitisation has seen a great
technological shift that has transformed,
not just media operations, but society
as a whole, adding new dimensions to
business, leisure and politics.
Digitisation facilitates interactivity
and enables users to actively engage
with online content. It provides many
opportunities, especially for developing
nations like Kenya, to fully participate
in the information age. It opens up
opportunities in many elds and greatly
reduces the cost of production.
Anyone can be a content generator in
the digital world. In makeshift studios in
homes and places like River Road, music
and media production is being done by
professionals and amateurs as well.
This is because digital media is
accessible and users can easily learn.
Animation using computer software is a
cost-eective way of producing lms and
advertising.
Kenya is taking small but steady steps
into the Information Age. According to
the McKinsey Report 2013, Kenya leads
the way in Africa with 47 per cent of
urban dwellers going online daily, and
with over two million on Facebook.
While the information and regulatory
infrastructure is still not developed,
the outlook is good for Kenya and
opportunities still exist to make Internet-
driven growth one of the centres of
expansion for the countrys economy, as it
is for advanced economies.
Online banking and e-commerce are
still in their infancy as businesses start
strengthening their online component.
This sector is likely to grow. The
government has pledged to transfer its
services to online platforms. These are
great baby steps.
Gainful employment
One of the areas for growth, especially
for youth, is entertainment. Online radio
can be a channel for releasing music
and selling it to benet artists. Legal
music downloads as well as other digital
entertainment content from movies to
video games, can be utilised to harness
the talents of many young people and
to provide gainful employment in non-
conventional entrepreneurial endeavours.
Digital platforms can provide delivery
channels for locally produced content
generating income, much like the US-
based Netix, a rental platform for digital
content, which ousted the so-called
mortar-and-brick businesses from the
video rental business.
These exciting possibilities are not
without problems. The easy transferability
of data is fraught with challenges as well
as copyright infringement, which is at an
all-time high with illegal copying of music
or movies being a global industry. Since
digital technology is new, the laws have
not kept up.
Copyright and intellectual property
issues are not taken seriously in Kenya
while Kenyans are casual about infringing
copyright. Peoples creative output must
be protected to benet the owner who
should have the exclusive right to share
or sell it. Weak protections and poor
enforcements could dampen creativity.
Training in digital media is not widely
available and many people engaged in
this industry are self-taught. Learning
institutions need to design courses in this
line to feed this growing market and put
Kenya ahead of the pack.
The United States International
University-Africa is pioneering a digital
media course that enables students to
learn how to use multimedia skills for
corporate branding, digital storytelling,
social media for client outreach, among
other skills.

of journalism at USIU-Africa, and the
key designer of the Masters of Arts in
Communication Studies degree to be

WORK TOO SHODDY. The fellows who keep on
digging trenches across Langata Road in Nairobi are
causing a lot of agony to some residents who rise
early to walk for exercise and nd their paths dug up,
says Rose Simani. She simply cannot understand why
trenches cannot be dug and all the cables laid at once.
One path in her neighbourhood has been messed
up three times and the soil shoddily put back. For the

GOING TO WASTE. Hundreds of litres of clean
water have been gushing to waste from a broken
pipe on Maai Mahiu Road between T-Mall and the Moi

Junior. Nairobi Water Company should dispatch its

waste of this valuable resource. Why should we be

HAS IT BEEN SOLD? Not long ago, says Njora
Waweru, there was a sign, Plot not for sale on
Eldama Ravine Road near the Peponi Road junction
at Westlands, Nairobi. But recently, he adds, a big
sign was put up proclaiming that the plot belongs to
the County Government of Nairobi, and warning that
trespassers would be prosecuted. He was, therefore,
quite surprised when he passed by on July 13 only
to see a perimeter wall had been erected, and some
construction was going on. Is this a county project or
has the plot been sold? asks Njora, whose contact is

in Brazil is a blessing for the many women literally
deserted by their husbands, who have been staying

L
ast Saturday Nations car-
toon depicting Israelis clob-
bering Palestinians exposed
the artists biased understanding of
the conict in the Middle East.
Israelis have faced threats
throughout history. Many of them
ed to Europe after the burning
of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70
AD.
Some remained, but subsequent
conquests of Palestine led to the
Muslim Ottoman Empire, which
was ousted by the British in 1918.
Most Jewish communities exiled
in Europe remained close-knit.
This alarmed European rulers like
Hitler who targeted them for exter-
mination. Six million of them were
massacred during World War ll.
Palestinians refused
Many of those Jews chose to
return to Israel. The increased
population of the Jews alarmed the
(Arabs) Palestinians, prompting
the British colonisers to control
the immigration. When the British
mandate ended, the UN partitioned
Palestine into two states, one Jew-
ish, the other Palestinian.
Palestinians refused their state,
arguing that they deserved a bigger
territory since they were many.
The Jews accepted theirs and,
led by David Ben Gurion, declared
independence. The state of Israel
came into being on May 14, 1948.
That night, as Jews celebrated,
Palestinians attacked the new nation
supported by Jordanians, Syrians,
Iraqis, Egyptians and Lebanonese.
Unknown to them, the Jewish un-
derground army, the Haganah was
ready for them and after prolonged
ghting defeated the invaders.
Palestinian villagers on the
route from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
launched a guerrilla warfare, often
massacring Jewish travellers. A
Jewish a military campaign in the
villages forced upto 700,000 Pal-
estinians to become refugees in
Ramallah, Hebron and Gaza.
Egypt, which borders Israel re-
mained a threat to the Jewish state
leading to another Arab-Jewish war
in 1956. The determined Jews also
won that war. In 1967, Gamel Abdul
Nasser led an all-Arab campaign
against Israelis. The invaders lost.
Similar attacks in 1973 and 1982
also ended in Israeli victories.
After the Holocaust, the Jews
were determined never to be
slaughtered again without ghting.
In the current confrontation, the
Hamas continue to re rockets into
Israel. And Israel has the moral au-
thority to protect its citizens.
The Hamas excel in propaganda.
Rocket launchers are hidden in
residential buildings. Any death of
a civilian is advertised as Israel ter-
ror, and consumers of such propa-
ganda ignore the fact that Jewish
children have to hide in bomb shel-
ters whenever a siren sounds.
Palestinians are being held hos-
tage by the Hamas, who benet
from the massive nancial support
from mainly Muslim sympathisers.
The Palestinian debacle will only
end when the Hamas choose to live
peacefully with Israelis.

The governments inability to
tame expenditure on the public
sector wage bill, scal indiscipline,
economic mismanagement, over-
spending, rising ination and weak-
ening shilling have resulted in a huge
scal decit. Not surprisingly, the
economy grew by only 4.7 per cent
in 2013 against a projection of 5.5
per cent.
Although the government seems
to be economical with truth on the
issue of retrenchment because of its
political ramications and the abor-
tive promise to create one million
jobs per year, it is always good to
give a dog a bad name and kill it.
If it is down-sizing or dump-sizing
or retrenchment that will tame the
ballooning wage bill, so be it.
JOSEPH G.MUTHAMA, Thika

Public service sta shake-up not the solution to high wage bill
The proposed sta rationalisation of government
workers should not be treated as a solution to the
bloated public wage bill. This is not the rst time
Kenya is reducing its manpower. We had the IMF-
prescribed Structural Adjustment Programme which
ended up causing a lot of pain. We reduced the work-
force but failed to act on wastage.
During the global meltdown, the Obama adminis-
tration did not downsize. It opted for stimulus fund-
ing. By injecting more funds, Obama managed to
stimulate public consumption and grow the economy.
At the same time, the US government instilled tight
nancial discipline to curb wastage. Has the Kenyatta
government sealed all loopholes that lead to pilfer-
age? How much money has such an initiative saved?
What is the decit to warrant laying o public serv-
ants? Kenyans must demand zero tolerance to graft to
save funds for development. To push public servants
out of work without tackling leakages of public funds
is unfair. It is unjustied to send the low-level worker
packing every time we have a nancial problem. Can
we rst exhaust other options?
As the exercise gets under way, Kenyans will be
keenly watching. Resorting to the process as a scape-
goat is unacceptable. President Kibaki presided over
an expanded government, but he equally expanded
the economy. Jubilee inherited a thriving economy.

KAGWE WARUTA: I would like to
applaud the CS for Devolution, since
there are a lot of ghost workers in the
civil service siphoning out money for
no work done. This step will also en-
hance professionalism in government
oces; people will work on their
areas of expertise.
ABASS AHMED: I think all ghost
workers and unt civil servants
should be identied laid o and
replaced by talented Kenyans with a
passion for public service.
LEONARD KIRWA: The Constitu-
tion doesnt allow the reduction
of the wage bill; rather it should be
increased.
AMBROSE MUTHAURA: The
Government should not think of
retrenching or replacing any civil
servant. Instead, it should consider
employing more at lower and middle
levels and retire top 10 per cent of
those earning more than Sh100,000.
VICTOR ABUKA: It is the only way
to achieve marginal productivity,
reduce wastage and save money for
development.

men and women who are not ready

physical attributes will be replaced
by apathy, port bellies and short-
ness of breath. Lets recruit twice
the number and half way, halve the

move would be very good if the gov-
ernment was ready to pay schools
upfront before these certicates are
released to the owners. This direc-
tive is not new and the former gov-
ernment had been unable to keep its
word on it. It also puts these heads
in dicult situations as parents will
fail to pay fees knowing children will
still get the certicates.

MARKET PUZZLE: The four-year-
old market at Karatina that is still
far from completion has so far used
Sh209 million out of Sh268 million
contract fee. This tells you that rst,
the Mathira MP is asleep; he should
have asked in Parliament where the
builders will get money to complete
this project. This also begs the
question why the governor cannot
negotiate with the Treasury to be
loaned Sh60 million of county funds
to complete the project. This project
has aected many families because
about 3,000 are expected to make a
living there. The Women Rep is not
making the necessary noise either.

F
amilies of soldiers who
die on duty in Somalia
are paid Sh4.4 million
each in compensation.
This is one of the terms of
service that Kenya Defence
Forces members serving
with the African Union Mis-
sion to Somalia (Amisom) are
entitled to.
This is under a memo-
randum of understanding
between the African Union
and Kenyan Government
signed in Ethiopia in June
2012.
The soldiers in Amisom
also receive allowances of
$1,028 (Sh89,400) a month
according to Defence Princi-
pal Secretary Monica Juma
(above).
Dr Juma was responding to
questions by the committee
on Defence and Foreign Rela-
tions in Parliament.
The soldiers also get normal
salaries and allowances from
the government.
This came from a question
by Cherengany MP Wesley
Korir who asked if there were
any compensation plans for
soldiers returning from duty
in Somalia or to families of
those who lose their lives in
the line of duty.
The MP also sought to
know if medical care was
available for injured soldiers
and counselling for those
suffering post-traumatic
stress disorder on returning
home.
Dr Juma said memoran-
dum between the AU and
the government provides for
personal compensation.
Disability compensation is
also paid to injured soldiers
calculated on the degree of
disability as determined by
a joint government of Kenya
and Africa Union medical
board assessment.
The Principal Secretary said
during the tour of duty, mental
health workers are embedded
with the troops to oer indi-
vidual counselling.
She said a post-deployment
psychological debriefing is
also done when the troops
return home on completion
of their tour of duty.
Families paid Sh4m

BY NATION REPORTER
Senators yesterday threw their
weight behind Deputy President
William Rutos order for schools to
release withheld certicates.
They dismissed demands by a
teachers union that Sh14 billion
in school fees arrears be cleared
rst, saying the money could be
recouped through other means.
The lawmakers agreed that with-
holding certicates was frustrating
students as they could not go fur-
ther with their studies.
The senators said students should
not be punished for their parents
failures and dismissed the Kenya
National Union of Teachers demand
for fees arrears to be settled.
Kicked o debate
Kitui Senator David Musila
(Wiper) kicked off the debate
when he made a personal state-
ment thanking Mr Ruto.
Mr Musila recently moved a
motion in the House seeking to
force headteachers to let go the
certicates and asked the govern-
ment to take action against those
who failed to comply.
The certicates are being held un-
lawfully. No school collapsed when
the government asked them to release
certicates in 2006. No school will
be aected now. It is unfortunate
that several young people missed
the police recruitment because of
certicates, he said.

PRESS STATEMENT
MEDIA REPORT ON DEPLOYMENT OF THE KENYA DEFENCE FORCES (KDF) IN
INTERNAL OPERATIONS
The Ministry of Defence wishes to make reference to a media report which appeared in the Standard Newspaper Monday
July 14 2014 under the headline State wants to deploy KDF without MPs say.
In the article the author alleges that Parliament will be stripped of its power to have a say in internal military deployment,
if the proposed amendments see light of the day.
The allegations contained in the story are untrue and a misrepresentation of facts. We believe that the stated article is
written in bad faith and intended at disparaging the Kenya Defence Forces.
In this respect, the Ministry of Defence wishes to state as follows:
The Kenya Defence Forces upholds the Constitution which provides under Article 241(3) (a) that Kenya Defence Forces are
responsible for defence and protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this Republic.
Deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces for internal operations is governed by the following Constitutional provisions:
i. Article 241 (3) (b) and (c) that provides that Kenya Defence Forces shall assist and co-operate with other
authorities in situations of emergency or disaster and report to the National Assembly whenever deployed in
such circumstances.
ii. Article 241(3) (c) that provides that Kenya Defence Forces may be deployed to restore peace in any part of
Kenya affected by unrest or instability only with approval of the National Assembly.
The foregoing provisions are accordingly anchored in the Kenya Defence Forces Act (No. 25 of 2012) in line with the
constitutional requirements under sections 8(1)(b) and (c), Section 31 (b) and (c), Section 33(1) and (2) and 8(4).
The Kenya Defence Forces Act further provides for mandatory publication of gazette notices upon approval to deploy and
stringent reporting to the National Assembly under sections 8(3) and (4).
In this regard therefore, we wish to categorically state that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has not moved and has no
intention to move any amendment of the law that would be contrary to the Constitution as alleged by the writer of the
article. It is important also to note that an Act of Parliament cannot amend Constitutional provisions and in any case
pursuant to Article 2(4) of the Constitution any law that is inconsistent with provision of the Constitution would be
rendered void.
The Ministry of Defence remains steadfast in executing its mandate to defend and protect the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of the Republic of Kenya within the confnes of the Constitution.

Panic as 12
go missing
near Tsavo
game park
BY DANIEL NYASSY
@dnyassy
dnyassy@ke.nationmedia.com
AND KALUME KAZUNGU
@KalumeSamuel
skazungu@ke.nationmedia.com
M
ore than 12 people
have gone missing in
one region for the last
few weeks.
Police have subsequently
opened 12 files of inquest in
Mackinnon Road and Chen-
goni sub-counties but leaders
claims that the number could
be as high as 24.
Kinango assistant County
Commissioner Moses Ivuto
confirmed that cases of the
disappearance have been lodged
and a team sent to the aected
areas to launch investigations.
However, Mackinnon Road
Member of County Assembly
Musa Ahmed disputed Mr Ivutos
gure saying 24 people had dis-
appeared mysterious. The last
one went missing last week.
Addressing the media at
Mackinnon Road Chiefs oce
during the issuance of title deeds
for phases 1 and 11 on Tuesday,
the leader blamed the Kenya
Wildlife Service for the disap-
pearances.
Mr Ahmed claimed that most
of the victims are picked near
Tsavo park or along the road
by KWS vehicles and taken to
unknown places.
Mr Ben Tsuma Murisa for
example, was pulled out from
a matatu which was stopped by
two KWS land cruiser vehicles
and bundled into one of them in
full view of the public. He was
from Voi along the Voi-Mombasa
highway, he said.
A relative of the victim, Mr
Ibrahim Ndoro, claimed that
Murisa was kidnapped by KWS
rangers on June 6 between 2pm
and 3pm.
He further claimed that his
other cousin Mr Mohamed
Ndoro Dingo was shot dead by
KWS ocers outside his Egu
village house on June 2.
They just came there, shot
him dead and left without any ex-
planation. They came in a KWS
vehicle and in full uniform, said
Mr Ndoro.
But the assistant director in
charge of Tsavo Obrien Robert
denied that KWS was involved
in the matter.
We only shoot armed poach-
ers, not civilians. When we nd
trespassers in the park, we ar-
rest them. We are not involved,
he said.
Mr Musa said tension in the
area is high as residents of his
ward are angry over lack of co-
operation and action from the
government.
They are now thinking of
arming themselves with bows
and arrows, he added.
In Lamu, the Somali com-
munity in Mpeketoni yesterday
accused ocers in the region of
intimidating them.
Their spokesperson, Mr Mo-
hamed Osman, told the Nation
that they now live in fear.
Since the killings, the So-
mali people in Mpeketoni have
not known any peace. People
speak ill of us. It is unfair, said
Mr Osman.
He blamed the police for what
he termed as targeting only one
community.
The operation which is led
by Deputy Inspector of Police
Samuel Arachi entered its 10th
day yesterday with more than
70 suspects being arrested in
connection with the Lamu and
Tana River attacks.
We keep receiving threats
from our neighbours. Police are
hunting down the entire com-
munity. We are also Kenyans and
we deserve to be respected and
protected, said Mr Osman.
Women ee
Somali women and children
have left Mpeketoni town and
travelled to other areas in the
county following threats from
other communities in the
town.
Only men are left behind to
look after livestock.But those of
us who are left are not free to
move around. Police just arrest
us, added Mr Osman.
Their reaction comes just a
day after a middle aged man of
Somali origin disappeared on
Monday evening.
Mr Osman Abdi, 35, a milk
supplier in Mpeketoni went
missing on Monday evening.
I saw a white saloon car
in front of him. He was on his
motorcycle. Men abruptly came
out of the car.
They then forced him into
the car and drove away leaving
his motorcycle by the roadside,
said a man who witnessed the
arrest but asked to remain
anonymous.
Leaders say KWS
is behind the spate
of disappearances
but agency denies
Police have so far denied any association
with the arrest and disappearance of a man
in Lamu. The incident was condemned by
the Lamu West Interfaith Peace Forum,
Ibrahim Shahibu who asked the government
to ensure that respect, justice and equality
are upheld during the ongoing security
operation in Lamu.
What we do not want to see is a state
of injustice, unfairness and imbalance
based on tribe or religion. Police should
ensure they are sure before making any
arrests, said Shahibu. The operation is
led by Deputy Inspector of Police Samuel
Arachi(Left) entered its 10th day

ask you to hand over all the oces including the one
occupied by the governor, his letter read in part.

15 counties to benet in Sh14
bn slum upgrading project

Slums in 15 counties will be upgraded under a
Sh14 billion World Bank project. Members of
the respective county assemblies are expected to

Counties earmarked for the slum upgrade include
Kisumu, Kili, Uasin Gishu, Embu, Garissa,
Kakamega, Kericho, Kitui, Machakos, Mombasa,
Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru, Nyeri and Kiambu.
The upgrades will be done under the Kenya
Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP)
and managed by the Oce of the Deputy President.
This will be part of concerted eorts of the county
assemblies to realise the second objective of
devolution which seeks to reverse inequalities in the
country. Members of County Assemblies (MCAs)
and community development experts from the
targeted counties yesterday resolved at a meeting in
Kisumu that they will rally their residents to support
the project. They will also ensure the project was

Agro-economy to hasten countys growth
BY SAMWEL BORN MAINA
sborn@ke.nationmedi.com
A
griculture is the backbone of
Nyamira Countys economy.
It is for this reason that Gov-
ernor John Nyagarama is convinced
that agriculture will enable the county
realise its economic goals including
those spelt out under the national de-
velopment blueprint, Vision 2030.
We have given agriculture priority
in this county even as we focus other
areas, Mr Nyagarama told the Daily
Nation. With proper planning, the
county would be able to fully exploit its
huge potential in agriculture and feed
its residents with surplus to sell, the
governor said.
Dairy is being targeted for increased
production with the launch of subsi-
dised Articial Insemination services,
aimed at boosting herds by as many
as 10,000 cows a year. A total of 6,500
cows have been serviced so far.
There would be regular vaccination
against cattle diseases and so far, more
than 12,500 heads of cattle have been
vaccinated.
The county has a one-year growth
plan which was launched by Mr Nya-
garama.
Key planks of the plan are a 24-
hour economy and improvement of
the countys poor roads. So far some
250 kilometres of roads have been
repaired, he said.
To boost the 24-hour economy,
the county government has installed
street-lighting in all market centres
and towns so traders can work at
night.
Building blocks
We are ensuring that the county
becomes vibrant. We want to have
businesses that run round the clock,
he said.
A key burden of the county govern-
ment is the creation of jobs for the
youth. It has bought machines to make
cheaper interlocking building blocks for
constructing homes and businesses.
On education, Mr Nyagarama says,
the county had established a talent
academy at Kiabonyoru Secondary
School that will identify and nurture tal-
ent among the youth.
To ensure the residents have ad-
equate water, the county government
started reviving projects that had col-
lapsed and started new ones.
This month, each location has seen
progress in water projects, springs have
been revived, we have initiated others
and more are on the way, he said. This
would be complemented by boreholes
to boost water supply for sh ponds.
The county government has also
launched a performance management
and accountability framework policy
to guide services and ensure the work
force remained productive and profes-
sional.

Chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi
Kericho > Restructuring aims to boost eciency
employees should be put on hold until
the nationwide audit announced the
Devolution ministry on Monday was
completed.
Speaking in Kericho where he
commissioned Information and
Technology projects, Mr Wamwangi
said the rationalisation would involve
all sta in the national and county
governments.
After the audit, we shall identify
the gaps in the county public service
and ll them. This aims to boost ef-
ciency, he said.
The transition boss urged county
assemblies to pass laws that would
enable executives to carry out their
duties more eectively.
Mr Wamwangi said that governors
were unable to work without the
backing of laws.
Devolution Cabinet Secretary Ann
Waiguru issued the order on Monday
after the government started to re-
organise workers at the national and
county levels.
Under the changes, public servants
would be moved to understaed min-
istries or departments while others
would be transferred to county gov-
ernments.
Mr Wamwangi said laws made by
counties should be aligned to national
policies.
Our job is to ensure that the laws
are free of ambiguities. People com-
plain when we give directions but that
is our role, he said.

Headteachers yesterday
said they would release cer-
ticates held because of fee
arrears as directed by Deputy
President William Ruto.
The County Secondary
School Heads Association
chair Andrew Buop denied
claims that principals were
turning away former stu-
dents.
The Homa Bay High School
head said only a handful of
former students had turned
up for their certicates after
completing form four.
His remarks came as some
parents claimed children had
been denied the papers.
Many heads interviewed
said they were hesitant to re-
lease the certicates before
receiving a circular from the
Education Ministry. They said
they could not act on roadside
declarations.
Mr Buop defended prin-
cipals and challenged those
making such claims to name
those who had refused to issue
the documents.

E
mbu County Assembly Speaker
Justus Mate and Clerk Jim
Kauma have urged the Court
of Appeal to dismiss contempt of
court charges against them that arose
from Governor Martin Wamboras
impeachment.
They told Appellate Judges Alnashir
Visram, Martha Koome and Otieno
Odek that they were not served with
orders issued by the High Court in
Kerugoya.
Mr Mate and Mr Kauma moved to
the higher court to challenge sum-
mons issued to them by High Court
judges Cecilia Githua, Hedwig Ongudi
and Boaz Olao.
Mr Charles Njenga, their lawyer,
yesterday told Appellate judges that
they never personally received the
County ocials tell
appeal court judges
erred in ruling that
they ignored order
orders that barred the assembly
from debating on Mr Wamboras
impeachment.
Mr Njenga said the orders were
handed to Mr Kaumas secretary and
a sta of the county of assembly.
There is no evidence demonstrat-
ing actual service of the orders upon
the appellants. Actually, there is no
basis for nding the parties to have
acted in contempt of the courts order,
he said.
He further argued that the Con-
stitution granted Members of the
County Assembly and Parliamen-
tarians immunity from criminal and
civil charges for actions undertaken
within the chambers.
In response, Mr Wamboras lawyer,
Mr Paul Muite, said the Judiciary is
facing a challenge of public ocers
who are reluctant to obey court orders.
State ocers are talking about idi-
otic court orders, he said. If court
allows its orders to be disobeyed, the
rule of law is destroyed.
No evidence had been produced in
court to show that the secretary and
the sta were not acting on behalf of
the ocials when they received the
orders, he argued.
The Appellate Bench said its
judgment would be delivered on
September 30.

Brown teeth lock out jobseekers
BY NATION TEAM
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.co.ke
N
akuru Senator James Kiarie
Mungai yesterday protested
to the government over
discrimination against people with
stained teeth during the recent po-
lice recruitment.
He said hundreds of young people
who turned up for the just concluded
recruitment in Nakuru County es-
pecially in Naivasha and Rongai
sub-counties were turned away
because they had brown teeth.
Mr Mungai said people with brown
teeth should not be discriminated
against during police hiring because
the condition was caused by too much
uoride in the water they drink.
It is not their fault that the water
they consume colours their teeth, he
said. The government is to blame
as it is mandated to treat water and
ensure it is safe for consumption. It
cannot then turn around and blame
the people for the condition, he
said.
Mr Mungai urged the government
to repeat the recruitment to give a
Senator asks State
to repeat police
recruitment in region
and stop the bias
The State

as it is
mandated

Nakuru | Leaders claim hiring was riddled with corruption and want it repeated
chance to those who were disqualied
because of having brown teeth.
Water companies in the region say
removing the uoride is expensive and
instead ask residents to do it them-
selves at home.
In Migori and Bomet, leaders
yesterday also demanded a repeat of
the process. Bomet deputy governor
Stephen Mutai and Migori Woman
Representative Denitah Ghatti said
the hiring was riddled with corrup-
tion and favouritism and should be
nullied. Mr Mutai said the recruit-
ment panel, under the lead of Bomet
deputy county commissioner Josphat
Mutisya, did not do a good job. He
asked Inspector General of Police
David Kimaiyo to investigate the
malpractices.
In West Pokot, residents of Lomut
in Sigor Constituency, yesterday dem-
onstrated over the recruitment, saying
it was marred by corruption.
At the head of the demonstration
was Lomut member of the county
assembly Hellen Madio.
In Mwingi, parents and the area
Senator complained that massive brib-
ery was witnessed during the police
recruitment on Monday. Residents
said the most aected areas were
Mathuki and Migwani. Kitui Senator
David Musila asked for the results to
be cancelled.

Former MP
Fred Kalulu
dies after
cancer battle
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Former Mbooni MP Fredrick
Mulinge Kalulu is dead. Mr Ka-
lulu passed away on July 1 after
suering from diabetes and can-
cer. The veteran politician was
known for stealing the thunder
from his opponents. In 1974, for
instance, he arrived at Kenyatta Sta-
dium Machakos on horseback to
present his papers for the Mbooni
Parliamentary.
He was also the rst Ukambani
politician to campaign using a chop-
per before Harun Mwau perfected
the strategy.
Leaders yesterday paid glowing
tribute to the late MP.
Former Livestock minister
Joseph Munyao remembered Mr
Kalulu, whom he faced o for the
Mbooni seat, as a friend.
Although we competed, we
remained friends and were close,
he told the Nation. Mr Munyao
said Mr Kalulu, endorsed him as
a candidate after losing an election
petition to Simon Kioko. Macha-
kos Senator Johnstone Muthama
said the late Kalulu was a seless
leader. The late MP was the father
of broadcaster Nzau Kalulu who
died last year.

Questions raised
over 3-month road
Machakos | Value of property on the Makutano-Kithimani road doubles, but for how long?
then a layer of chips covers the tar. It
is then compressed with a roller. That
explains why the chips are moving.
The bitumen will eventually rise and
cover them, he said.
He added that embedding of
chippings into the surface would
take time.
Along the road are schools, markets
and homesteads. Speeding cars leave
a cloud of white dust behind.
On some sections, we encounter
workers with brooms. They are clean-
ing it in preparation for marking by
another group.
Before its upgrade, motorists would
take up to three hours from Machakos
to Kithimani. The journey now takes
45 minutes.
Holes forming
Mr Sila Wambua, a Kithimani resi-
dent is ecstatic. The value of my plot
has doubled with the opening of this
road but the road could be having
minor defects. Holes have begun
forming, he says.
His sentiments are shared by trad-
ers in Kaaba Market. Mr Philip Mutua,
a welder, says he was concerned about
the loose chips. It is now easier for
me to transport my products and for
customers to come to my workshop.
My only prayer is that the problem
we have seen will be rectied before
it is too late, he says.

ocials blame prob-

BY EUNICE KILONZO

T
here is tarmac, gravel and
chips of stones on what used
to be an earth road that links
Makutano and Kithimani wards.
This upgrade cost the county gov-
ernment Sh650 million in a record
three months. It has, however, elic-
ited divergent views.
When the rubber meets the Maku-
tano-Kithimani road, one realises
that the tarmac is not entirely
smooth, since the car vibrates.
In fact, you can actually hear the
tyres rubbing against gravel. It is
not the same as driving on the Thika
Superhighway.
Machakos county Chief Engineer
Tom Omai, who happened to be the
one driving, gave reasons.
For this area, we opted for
surface-dressing. It means we
used bitumen and stone chips. It
involves a thick layer of bitumen
spread on the prepared surface and
It is now
easier for
me to
transport
my goods
and for
customers
to come

workshop.
My only
prayer is
that the
problem
will be

Philip
Mutua, a
welder
at Kabaa
There have been claims by some
MCAs that the road is not up to
standard. However, Mr George Kioko
Luka, the County Executive Member
in charge of Transport, Road and Pub-
lic Works blames saboteurs.
We received reports on Monday
about a group digging holes on a
section of the road. They fled on
realising that they had been spotted
by our foremen, he says.
Indeed, about 10 kilometres to
the end of the Makutano-Kithimani
stretch, there are patches of freshly
repaired potholes.
The Kenya National Highways Au-
thority (Kenha) puts the road in the
C100 category. This means it links
important centres to each other or
to other major roads.
Heavy vehicles are not permitted on
this road. A Kenha ocial said a road
that was barely a month old should
not have excess loose chippings.
He added that road-making was
a step-by-step process and if a mis-
take was not corrected at the initial
stage, there will be a problem upon
completion.
Nonetheless, the Machakos Chief
Officer of Transport, Mr Morris
Aluanga, said the road was built by
11 dierent contractors and if there
was a problem, it should be addressed
section-wise. Each contractor was
allocated three kilometres to reduce
the cost and time. Condemning the
whole road is not fair, he said.

collapses and
dies on plane
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Political scientist Jonathan ole Karei
collapsed and died on a plane at Eldoret
Airport yesterday morning as he was about
to y to Nairobi.
Doctors tried to resuscitate him in vain.
Scholars at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga
University paid glowing tribute to the insti-
tutions rst chancellor.
Vice-chancellor Stephen Agong said Prof
ole Kareis death came as a shock to the
university fraternity.
The death of Prof ole Karei is most un-
timely, coming just after his ociating at
our inaugural graduation ceremony in May
this year. We received the news of his sud-
den death with shock and disbelief, he said
in a statement.
Prof ole Karei graduated with a Bachelor
of Arts degree in political science and his-
tory from Philander Smith College in the
US in 1963.
He was appointed assistant professor of
political science and geography at Voorhees
College in 1966.
He worked at South Carolina State Uni-
versity between 1974 and 1977 before he
was appointed chief academic ocer at Moi
University between 1984 and 2013.

Kalekim, they said the road would help
open up the area and unite communities
through trade. Communities here cannot
access various markets because the
road is impassable, Mr Kalekim said.
He added that dairy farmers were using
donkeys to transport milk to cooling
plants, but most of it goes bad because of
the long distances covered.

Hasten issuance of land
titles, Coast leaders say
Some political leaders at the Coast
want the issuance of title deeds in the

Madzayo said this would prevent illegal
groups taking advantage of the land
issue to cause chaos. This should include
correction of anomalies in the title deeds
issued. Mombasa County Assembly

problems ought to addressed fast to stop
leaders from using this as a campaign
issue. This is what was envisioned in

Joho, Marwa split
Mombasa | Leaders previously tackled insecurity as a team
Questions abound over what really
went wrong.
A month ago, Mr Marwa called
a press conference and blasted the
governor for allegedly interfering with
security matters.
Mr Marwa said that whenever
suspected criminals are arrested
after terrorist attacks, certain poli-
ticians rush to the police cells to bail
them out.
The governor came out guns blaz-
ing. He blamed the commissioner for
failure in his role as the chairman of
the security docket.
Withdraw police vehicles
Mr Joho threatened to withdraw
the police vehicles saying, security
did not improve despite the heavy
investment.
He accused Mr Marwa of perpetu-
ally issuing useless warnings to
criminals.
At a recent function, the governor
did not mince his words.
We are warning Mr Marwa not to
joke with us. Let him play around with
other people. His bosses respect us
and we respect them too.
Those who think I will be intimi-
dated should think twice, Mr Joho
said.
The governor said he will not shy
away from speaking his mind on the
deteriorating security in Mombasa.
The National Alliance leaders in
Mombasa have blamed the governor
for waging war against the County
Commissioner.

T
he war of words between

Hassan Joho and County
Commissioner Mr Nelson Marwa
is as strange as it is disturbing.
The two have been known to be
friends since the General Election
held last year. They shared opinions,
ideology and policies.
Mr Marwa praised the governor
as a hardworking leader. When Mr
Joho donated 19 police vehicles early
this year, it appeared as a further
armation of their friendship.
Fighting insecurity is close to
the County Commissioners heart
and as criminals run riot at the
Coast, Mr Marwa has been in the
limelight.
When Mr Joho lent a hand to
the battle against crime by do-
nating police cars, their ties were
strengthened.
But their recent public spat has
taken friends and foe by surprise.

end of the year amid indications
that Pretoria is reluctant to
renew them.
Home Affairs minister
Malusi Gigaba on Tuesday told
parliament the future of the
permit holders was still being
discussed.
I wish to announce that we
are in the nal stages of delib-
erations about the Zimbabwean
Special Dispensation, which will
expire in December this year,
he said.
I am mindful of the anxiety
among the Zimbabwean nation-
als in possession of this special
permit issued in 2010, but I shall
announce my decision in August
this year.
Fears are that if the 250,000
permits are renewed, the holders
would automatically qualify to be
South African citizens.
In 2010, South Africa
launched the Zimbabwe Spe-
cial Dispensation Programme
where undocumented Zimba-
bwean nationals were given
temporary work and residence
permits.
The move was meant to deal
with the inux of Zimbabweans
at the height of the countrys eco-
nomic and political problems.
Experts believe that only a
fraction of Zimbabweans in
South Africa came out to apply
for the permits.
There are no ocial gures
for Zimbabweans living in South
Africa, most of them illegally, but
some estimates put them at over
a million.
South Africa deports thou-
sands of Zimbabwean economic
refugees every year but the ma-
jority quickly make their way
back through the countrys
porous borders.
The countrys statistician
general Pali Lehohla also on
Tuesday revealed that Zimbabwe
contributes the greatest number
of immigrants to South Africa.
Mr Lehohla released a report
showing that 1,939 permanent
residence permits were granted
to Zimbabweans, accounting for
29 per cent of such permits.
The neighbouring country
accounted for 18,899 residence
permits or 19 per cent of the total
of such permits.

T
he Malawi government
has accused former
president Joyce Banda,
currently outside the country,
of parading lies that the
Peter Mutharika administra-
tion had stopped her from
attending public functions.
In a press release by the
Ministry of Information, the
government said Mrs Banda
has been saying, in meet-
ings she has been attending
outside the country, that the
new government had warned
her against attending public
events.
There have been several
public events including the
swearing and inauguration
ceremony of President Mutha-
rika, the opening of a trade
fair, Mutharikas wedding and
celebrations marking the 50
years of independence.
Mrs Banda has been con-
spicuously missing in all
these.
Initially, she said gov-
ernment did not provide
transport for her to attend
Mr Mutharikas swearing-in
and inauguration and later
that she was resting after a
tiring campaign.
In its press release the gov-
ernment said it was not true
that President Mutharika told
former President Banda not to
attend functions and aske d
Mrs Banda to tell the truth.
Banda has always been in-
vited to attend these meetings
and she chose to not to attend.
Government wishes to dismiss
the distortions and fabrica-
tions being churned out by
the former president and her
agents regarding her non-at-
tendance of national events,
reads the statement.
Meanwhile, the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund (IMF)
has cautioned Malawi to ex-
ercise restraint and borrow
money domestically in the
awake of donor fatigue that
the country is facing since the
discovery of massive theft that
took place in government last
year.
A team from the IMF led
by Mr Tsidi Tsikata, was
in Malawi from July 7 to
15, 2014 to review recent
economic developments,
discuss the Governments
policy priorities, and assist
with the development of the
broad parameters of the Fiscal
Year 2014/15 budget.
IMF described Malawis
economic performance under
the Extended Credit Facility
supported programme as
mixed.
The end-June 2014 target
for international reserves was
met comfortably. However,
several other targets on net
domestic assets of the Reserve
Bank of Malawi and on net
domestic borrowing by the
government were missed
by substantial amounts.

KHARTOUM, Wednesday
Worsening conict in Darfur

ian assistance (roughly 20 per

Herbalists demand role in treating Ebola patients
BY TERRENCE SESAY
NATION Correspondent
MONROVIA, Wednesday
A traditional healer in the
western Bomi County has
recommended to the Liberian
government that traditional
herbalists be involved in
treating Ebola patients.
The traditional healer, Mr
Varney Sando Gray, said
the Ministry of Internal Af-
fairs in collaboration with
the Ministry of Health and
Social Welfare should bring
the traditional herbalists on
board medical teams for the
treatment of the disease and
test their performance in the
treatment of Ebola patients.
In an interview with report-
ers in Tubmanburg, Mr Gray
noted that traditional medi-
cines were used to treat most
complicated and dangerous
diseases prior to the coming
to Africa of modern medicines
administered by modern day
medical doctors.
He added that the combined
eorts of the herbalists and
doctors would ensure an ami-
cable solution in treating the
deadly disease that is slowly
encompassing the post-war
country, with death toll at
105, 603 in west Africa.
He said the disease that
was discovered rst in Lofa

rado and now to Bomi County
noting that it must be jointly
be dealt with by both parties
to save lives.

THE HAGUE, Wednesday
A
court in the Netherlands
ruled today that the
Dutch state was liable
for the deaths of over 300 Bos-
nian Muslim men and boys in
the Srebrenica massacre, the
worst atrocity on European
soil since World War II.
Families of the victims had
brought a case the Dutch
government over the 1995
killings, accusing Dutch UN
peacekeepers of failing to pro-
tect the 8,000 slaughtered by
ethnic Serb troops just a few
months before the end of the
Bosnian war.
The judgement was greeted
with a mixture of satisfaction
and dismay by relatives after
the court found the state was
liable for those killed after
being expelled from a UN
compound but not all of the
deaths.
Today we got justice for
one group, thats good, said
Munira Subasic, one of the
representatives of the Moth-
ers of Srebrenica group who
were in court.
But how do you explain
to a mother that the Dutch
are responsible for the death
of one son that stood on one
side of the fence, and not for
the one on the other side? she
said through tears.
The Dutch compound
was so big that everyone
should have been let in the
compound. We will continue
to seek truth and justice, she
said, adding that they would
appeal the ruling.
The tiny Muslim enclave was
under UN protection until July
11, 1995 when it was overrun by
ethnic Serb forces under the
command of Ratko Mladic,
who is currently on trial on
genocide and war crimes
charges over the war in Bosnia,
including Srebrenica.
Mladics troops brushed
aside the lightly-armed Dutch
peacekeepers in a safe area
where thousands of Muslims
from surrounding villages had
gathered for protection.
In the subsequent days,
almost 8,000 Muslim men
and boys were slaughtered
and their bodies dumped in
mass graves in what two in-
ternational courts have ruled
was genocide.
The state is liable for the
loss suered by relatives of
the men who were deported
by the Bosnian Serbs from the
Dutchbat (Dutch battalion)
compound in Potocari in the
afternoon of 13 July, 1995,
judge Larissa Elwin said.
Dutchbat should have
taken into account the pos-
sibility that these men would
be the victim of genocide and
that it can be said with suf-
cient certainty that, had the
Dutchbat allowed them to stay
at the compound, these men
would have remained alive,
she ruled.
By cooperating in the
deportation of these men,
Dutchbat acted unlawfully.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
was sworn in today for a new seven-

governments they will pay dearly for
backing those who took up arms against
him.
In a condent speech delivered after
he took the oath of oce at a red carpet
ceremony in Damascus, President Assad
branded the 2011 Arab uprisings a fake
spring. President Assad, 48, (pictured)
won a June election denounced as a
farce by his detractors as it was staged
more than three years into a devastating
war that has killed more than 170,000
people and uprooted millions.
Syrians, three years and four
months... have passed since some
cried freedom, President Assad said,
referring to the 2011 revolt.
They wanted a revolution, but you
have been the real revolutionaries. I
congratulate you for your revolution
and for your victory, President Assad
told his supporters.
Those who lost their way can now
see clearly... the monstrous faces have
been unveiled, the mask of freedom and
the revolution has fallen.

NATION Correspondent
MOGADISHU, Wednesday
The Mayor of Mogadishu
Mr Hassan Mohamed Hussein
Mungaab has called for public
support towards the security
improvement of the Somali
capital.
To achieve full security, it
is important that the residents
of Mogadishu support law
enforcement agencies, said
Mayor Mungaab.
He added, If close collaboration
between the public and the
institutions is not forged, there
will be no security guarantee in
Mogadishu.
Recent government directives
towards the improvement of the
security sector resulted in the
appointment of a new commander
of the police force and a new
director for the national security
agency.
Besides, the security and
police departments in the city
were instructed to operate under
the command of the Mayor of
Mogadishu.
On the other hand, the Governor
of Mogadishu for Al-Shabaab, the
radical Islamist group, Sheikh Ali
Mohamed Hussein alias Sheikh Ali
Jabal vowed that his militants will
continue attacks in Mogadishu,
especially over the Holy Month
of Ramadhan.
Sheikh Ali Jabal stated on
Tuesday that his jihadists wrecked
a Somali government programme
nicknamed Nabad-ku-afuura
(break your fasting, peacefully).
The scheme was officiated by
Somali President Hassan Sheikh
Mohamoud at the beginning of
Ramadhan.
President Mohamoud had
promised beefed up security
during the fasting month.
Sheikh Ali Jabal said, Our
plans towards Mogadishu is to
multiply the attacks in a sequence
of strikes.
He added, You will soon
witness important installations

Obama speaks with Merkel after spy row
WASHINGTON, Wednesday
President Barack Obama
yesterday spoke to Chancel-
lor Angela Merkel for the
rst time since a row over US
spying prompted Germany to
turf out the CIA station chief
in Berlin.
The White House gave away
little of the conversation about
the latest espionage scandal to
rock the crucial relationship
between the US president
and Europes most powerful
leader. A statement said that
Mr Obama and Ms Merkel ex-
changed views on US -German
intelligence cooperation, and
the President said hed remain
in close communication on
ways to improve cooperation
going forward.
On the eve of a meeting
Mr Obama and Ms Merkel
have forged a rm working
relationship, but successive
revelations about US spying
and surveillance have strained
US-German ties and put the
German leader under intense
political pressure at home.
The call came on the eve of
a meeting of European Union
leaders in Brussels which will
consider toughening sanctions
on Russia over what the West
sees as destabilising behaviour
in Ukraine. The statement said
neither leader had seen Russia
take steps to stem the ow of
weapons across the border
of eastern Ukraine, or steps
by Moscow to de-escalate
the situation or to persuade
separatists to lay down their
arms. Washington signalled on
Tuesday that it would consider
going ahead with its own new
measures against Moscow.
A source in Brussels told
AFP meanwhile that it was
possible that the EU could
decide to toughen measures
against Moscow. (AFP)
GAZA CITY, Wednesday
I
srael told 100,000 Gazans
to ee their homes today
but the warning was
largely ignored, as regional
leaders made fresh attempts
to end the bloody nine-day
confrontation.
Israel resumed its punishing
air campaign after Egyp-
tian-brokered truce efforts
collapsed, while Palestinian
leader Mahmud Abbas was
due both in Cairo and later
Ankara in search of regional
support for an immediate end
to the ghting.
So far, Israels campaign,
now in its ninth day, has
killed 214 Palestinians, with
a Gaza-based rights group
saying over 80 per cent of
them were civilians.
In the same period, mili-
tants have fired more than
1,200 rockets at Israel, which
on Tuesday claimed their rst
Israeli life.
Warplanes during the night
struck about 40 sites across
Gaza, among them political
targets, as militants also kept
up their re on Israels coastal
plain, with four rockets shot
down over metropolitan Tel
Aviv. The Israeli military also
dropped yers and sent text
messages warning 100,000
people in northeastern Gaza
to evacuate their homes ahead
of an air campaign targeting
terror sites and operatives
in Zeitun and Shejaiya, two
flashpoint districts east of
Gaza City. An identical mes-
sage was sent to Beit Lahiya
in the north, echoing a simi-
lar army warning on Sunday,
when more than 17,000 resi-
dents of the north ed for their
lives, most seeking refuge in
UN-run schools.
But for patients at Al-Wafa
hospital in Shejaiya, many of
whom are paralysed or in a
coma, the warning simply
provoked even more fear.
We cannot leave our
patients, they are helpless,
director Basman Alashi told
AFP, saying most of them
could were completely inca-
pacitated and in no position
to be moved.
There is no place safe
in Gaza! If a hospital is not
safe, where is? he said as
the sound of nearby shelling
rattled the windows.
The Israeli warnings
appeared to have had no
immediate eect, with only
limited numbers seen leav-
ing. Children picked up many
of the yers and played with
them, an AFP correspondent
said.Where should we go?
asked Faisal Hassan, a father
of ve who lives in Zeitun.
Hamas dismissed the warn-
ing as a scare tactic, telling
residents there was no need
to worry. (AFP)

Insurance should have compensated
owners of the building that housed
Nakumatt Downtown in Nairobi, which
was gutted down six years ago and not
the supermarket chain nor KPLC, a
court heard yesterday.
Nakumatt holdings lawyer Omwanza
Ombati, while cross-examining direc-
tor of Woolworth Chandrakant Patel,
who is the owner of the building,
wondered why they never sued their
insurers Concord Insurance despite
indemnity against damages.
You took a re cover for your build-
ing. The building was then completely
destroyed by the inferno; why are you
placing the blame on Nakumatt and
KPLC and not the insurance? Mr
Ombati asked.
Mr Patel, however, said the likely
cause of the inferno was a genera-
tor owned by Nakumatt, which was
installed within the building and an
electric fault the sole responsibility
of KPLC. They should thus be held
culpable, he said.
Sued Nakumatt, KPLC
The director was testifying yester-
day in a case in which he has sued
Nakumatt Holdings and the power
rm for damages occasioned to his
building.
Mr Patel is seeking damages for
arrears despite the lease agreement
having automatically lapsed when the
building came down. He accused the
power company and the supermarket
chain of negligence.
The re was caused and contributed
by the negligence and breach of a con-
tract, Mr Patel said, adding, Nakumatt
Holdings Limited and KPLC had a
statutory duty to control and manage

FINANCE | Firm had received regulators nod to issue bond
BY RAMENYA GIBENDI
rgibendi@ke.nationmedia.com
H
ousing Finance Group
has suspended a
planned borrowing of
Sh20 billion, citing an expensive
debt market environment.
The Capital Markets Author-
ity had granted the mortgage
financier approval to issue a
medium-term note in Novem-
ber last year with the oer valid
until 2016.
However, HF now says it will
not be exploring that option in
the short term due to heavy
government borrowing that has
pushed up the 91-Day Treasury
Bill rate.
Despite the successful Eu-
robond, the 90 day Treasury Bill
is trading at a high of 11 per cent,
managing director Frank Ireri
said. The lender will instead turn
to key partner Britam to explore
other options.
Britam yesterday announced a
147.7 per cent oversubscription
of a similar borrowing pro-
gramme raising Sh7.4 billion
against a target of Sh3 billion.
The company, which currently
holds about 21.3 per cent stake
in Housing Finance, plans to buy
additional shares by acquiring
Equity Banks 24.76 per cent
stake to bring its holding to
46.08 per cent.
At the same time, HF an-
nounced a 19 per cent rise in
after tax prot for the half year
riding on income diversication
strategies.
The real estate company
real i sed Sh474. 44 mi l l i on
compared to the Sh407 mil-
lion recorded over a similar
period last year.
Total non-interest income
grew signicantly by 241 per
cent to Sh506.29 million from
Sh148.4 million mainly from
two of its subsidiaries Kenya
Building Society and Housing
Finance Insurance Agency.
HF also realised income for
the rst time from forex trading,
which added Sh17.09 million to
its non-interest income, said Mr
Ireri in a statement.
Mobilise deposit
He said the group will focus on
mobilising deposits from savings
and current accounts as opposed
to corporate deposits that have
put pressure on its margins.
Britam recently announced
plans to acquire Equity Banks
shareholding in Housing Finance
to bring its direct and indirect
control to approximately half of
the issued share capital of the
company.

Britam nets
Sh7 billion
from bond
BY NATION REPORTER
Insurance firm Britam has
recorded a 147 per cent oversub-
scription of its corporate bond
issued last month to help fund
its expansion.
The rm said in a statement
yesterday that it had raised
Sh7.4 billion against a target Sh3
billion.
The massive participation in
the corporate bond is a validation
of the condence the market has
in the group. The funds will give
us the additional impetus needed
to take our group to the next level
of growth in line with our strategic
plan, managing director Benson
Wairegi said.
The bond had a green shoe
option of Sh3 billion and will see
the rm take up Sh6 billion as
approved by the Capital Markets
Authority.
The transaction saw great
participation from leading fund
managers contributing 50.9 per
cent, banks and insurance com-
panies jointly at 41 per cent and
retail investors at 8.1 per cent of
the total raised, the chief executive
of Dyer and Blair, Mr Paul Orem,
said. The latter is Britams lead
transaction adviser.
The corporate bond will be
listed on the NSE at the end of
the month.
The rm has embarked on a
national expansion plan that saw
it last month announce its inten-
tion to acquire Equity Banks 24.6
per cent shareholding in mortgage
rm Housing Finance.
The deal, to cost slightly
over Sh2 billion, is expected to
strengthen Britams hold of the
real estate sector where it has been
trying to make a foray with a view
to diversifying revenue sources.
It will strengthen its grip on the
mortgage insurance market.
Britam will utilise the funds
to further regional and local ex-
pansion, acceleration of property
development and to increase
investment in private equity, the
rm said.

T
he Competition Author-
ity of Kenya (CAK) will
start charging fees to
approve mergers and takeo-
vers next month.
In a newspaper ad yester-
day, the authority said fees
will be pegged on sizes of
the companies involved in
deals. Firms whose combined
turnover or assets, whichever
is higher, are between Sh500
million and Sh1 billion will pay
Sh500,000 along with their
applications to CKAK.
Currently, the authority
does not levy any money to
analyse proposed mergers.
On previous occasions, it
has said that the fees will
be used to recoup costs in-
curred in granting approvals.
Companies whose combined
turnover or assets amount to
Sh50 billion will be charged
Sh1 million while deals larger
than that will be subject to a
ling fee of Sh2 million.
The thresholds and pro-
posed fees take into a account
the recovery of a proportion
of the costs, said CAK in a
document posted on its web-
site. These costs, according
to the authority, include
payment of staff involved
in reviewing mergers, board
members expenses, research
as well as charges related to
meetings with parties involved
in the process and their com-
petitors.
One thing is that this
was the only organisation
in the world that was oer-
ing merger applications pro
bono. The merger ling fees
have gone through consulta-
tive process. They are based
on cost recouped.
The fees help us build the
capacity to collect more infor-
mation when we are analysing
mergers. They are among
the lowest ling fees in the
world, CAK director general
Wangombe Kariuki said.

Tea cess vital,
says Koskei
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Doing away with tea levies would
adversely aect research that is
critical if Kenya has to continue
attracting the export market and
increase local consumption of tea,
a cabinet secretary has said.
Agricultures Felix Koskei faulted
those pushing the government to
remove the charges saying such a
move would be expensive in the
long run.
Tea farmers through a petition
presented before Senator Chris
Obure said excessive taxation of
the industry poses threats to the
future of the countrys main source
of foreign revenue.
The senator expressed concern
that tea farmers were being sub-
jected to more than 38 levies that
had adversely aected their prot
margins.
Mr Obure cited the ad valorem
tax charged at 1 per cent of value of
tea exports up from 0.46 cents per
kilogramme of tea that was being
levied before 2012.
Money from the fees is meant to
fund research.

Models pose with the Apple iPhone at the Stanley Hotel in Nairobi yesterday.
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Airtel has entered into an
agreement with Apple to
sell iPhone smartphones in
Kenya. Previously, Orange
Telkom had the exclusive
right to sell the devices.
Emitac Mobile Solutions
(EMS) head of marketing
Abdel Tahour said the Airtel
contract oers more to con-
sumers, hence the partnership.
EMS is an Apple partner for
distribution of smartphones
in Africa. The deal marks
the rst time Airtel is selling
iPhones. The partnership
guarantees consumers ad-
vantages such as 12 months
warranty with a pre-loaded 10
GB free data, which expires in
three months.
Airtel chief executive Adil
El Youssefi said the deal
meant Airtel would release
to the local market Apple
products immediately they
are launched. The range of
iPhones include iPhone 5s, 4s,
4c and Apple iPads, said Mr
El Yousse.
Airtel head of data services
Joep Verheij said the prices
would remain the same.
The deal empowers cus-
tomers to enjoy high speed
Internet services on their
devices and mobile phones
on Airtel network, said Mr
Verheij.

K
enya and the Democratic Repub-
lic of Congo have signed a deal
meant to curb illegal export of
gold from the central African nation
through local ports.
The agreement was reached at a
meeting between a delegation from
DRC and senior ocials at the Ministry
of Mining, which was held in Nairobi
on Tuesday.
Following the deal, Cabinet Secretary
for Mining Najib Balala is expected to
instruct relevant arms, including the
Kenya Revenue Authority, Department
of Mines and Geology and the Kenya
Airports Authority, among others, to
disallow undocumented exports of
gold.
Export certication
It was resolved that no exports
of gold that are not accompanied by
valid export certication will be allowed
through Kenya. A uniquely printed cer-
tication has been adopted and must
accompany any gold export from DRC,
mining secretary Said Athman told the
Nation on phone.
He said talks on how to stop gold
smuggling from DRC were going on
between governments of East and
Central Africa.
DRCs deputy minister for natural
resources, the countrys ambassador
to Kenya and four other senior govern-
ment ocials constituted the delegation,
according to Mr Athman.
A recent report from the United Na-
tions shows that gold worth at least $400
million (Sh35 billion) was smuggled out
of DRC to East African countries last
year. It said proceeds from the sale of the
mineral were being used to nance recur-
rent ghting in the country. The report
ngers three Uganda-based families as
major illegal gold exporters in 2013, as
published by the Africa Review.
Kenya enjoys a strategic position at the
Southern and Eastern African Mineral
Centre (Seamic), with Mr Balala having
been re-elected chairman in June this
year. This gives it an advantage to inu-
ence regional policies on issues aecting
the extractive sector.
Seamic is a UN-backed institution that
was established under the United Nations
Economic Commission for Africa.
Smuggling of minerals is not unique
to DRC as Kenya is also faced with a
similar problem which, according to
data from the Kenya National Bureau
of Statistics, has seen the country earn
less revenue than the estimated worth
of locally available minerals.
The total value of mineral output
declined by 28.6 per cent from Sh27.9
billion in 2012 to Sh19.7 billion last year,
according to data from the bureau.
The challenge for us is that these
minerals are exhaustible yet we do not
get corresponding revenue, said Mr
Athman.

AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
Words have a very powerful and soothing quality,
with todays aspect at play. So why not take this
opportunity to tell your sweetie exactly how you
feel. If you do not know them well enough just
yet, then perhaps you could write a lovely note.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
Whatever you want to say to your dearest one
will be taken in the best and highest spirit. If you
need to have a specic conversation or discuss
any plans, you will nd that you both seem to
understand and appreciate each others point of
view with no problem at all.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
You will feel a lot more mellow and laid-back
with todays alignment of the planets. You do not
feel like using your words to cajole, persuade, or
generally have your loved one do anything that
they dont really want to do. You are content to
spend your time chatting about anything and
everything,
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
Todays planetary alignment indicates that you
may make a vital connection between your head
and your heart. This enables you to let someone
special get to know you for who you really are,
not who you would like to be known as., or by
projecting the image you think they would prefer.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
The alignment of the planets indicates that you
have a wonderful day ahead of you, especially
if you are going out on a date this evening. It
seems that the cosmos is smiling on you, and
you will both recognize each other as kindred
souls.You have the knack of drawing the best out
of each other
.CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
This is not a day for egotistical statements, nor a
time to use persuasion to get a certain someone
interested in you. The astral conguration
indicates that you will be far better o being
natural, and perhaps a little more modest than
usual
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
Conversation is lazy and crazy, and just the kind
that lovers enjoy. The astral energy indicates
that you have a chance to spend time with your
latest sweetheart to relax and enjoy a few hours
together without worrying about having to make
any kind of impression.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
The alignment of the planets indicates that you
have an opportunity to spend some time getting
to know your latest heart throb more intimately.
It might be an idea to go somewhere out in the
country for a meal followed by a wonderful walk
in soothing and harmonious surroundings
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
This is not a day for fast-talking or any kind
of preaching. You need to slow down your
conversation so that it approaches a crawl,
and then take everything else very slowly. You
will not win over the person of your dreams by
spinning them a new philosophy, but by being
yourself.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
You have a chance to speak to someone whom
you have admired from afar, but never yet
managed to talk to on a more intimate basis. It
may be a practical detail connected with your
work that paves the way for a breakthrough, but
this is the only opening you need.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Pay attention to the more practical plans and
details that form a part of your daily life with
your partner. The current aspect indicates that
this is a positive time to organize any projects
and begin to get them o the ground.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
The celestial energy encourages you to invite
friends and potential lovers around for an
impromptu party. This doesnt have to anything
too special, as long as you have plenty of home
cooking and lots of large cushions

Transition 59

ust who should shoulder the blame for
the delay in supply of Team Kenyas
Commonwealth Games training and
competition kits?
Though the Government has already
flown out the first batch of athletes
to Glasgow ahead of commencement
of the Games next Wednesday, Na-
tional Olympic Committee of Kenya
(Nock) secretary-general FK Paul yester-
day conrmed to Daily Nation Sport that
the Rugby Sevens national team was the
only squad among the 15 participating
disciplines featuring in the competition
that had received their kits.
The other batch of kits can be located
either in the United States of America
or at the Jomo Kenyatta International
Airport (JKIA) consignment stores - or
somewhere in between, depending on
whom between Nock and the teams of-
cial kit suppliers Nike, you believe.
According to documents in our pos-
session, the kits might have been lying
at JKIA for the past 12 days with Nock
either unaware or less concerned.
According to Nikes marketing
manager in charge of International
Federations, Robert Lotwis, an email
from the sportswear on June 11, 2014,
requesting an Import Declaration Form
(IDF, a document that declares amount
of goods set for importation and their
values) for shipment of the kits was
greeted with no response from Nock.
Between 12/6/2014 and 26/6/2014
while in Kenya, I spoke multiple times
to FK Paul about getting IDF needed to
get this product shipped, nothing is done
by him, Lotwis claims in his email.
Shocking revelation
The Nike ocial adds: On 26/06/2014,
I have one ocial meeting with him
before I leave the country and bring
Joseph Kinyua as witness. Paul claims
he never received invoice for the product
from Nike. I immediately asked for the
invoice recent. Joseph Kinyua is former
Athletics Kenya treasurer.
Lotwis, who claims the kits were
eventually shipped on 02/07/2014, (and
consignment expected in Kenya within
three days) also goes on to make an-
other shocking revelation: When Nock
placed their order for the Commonwealth
Games, they failed to order product for
the Athletics team.
They ordered product for numer-
ous teams but failed to order product
for the team that had the most success
for Kenya.
FK Paul has, in his response, blamed
the delay on the system, while adding
some of the kits delivered by Nike are
not tting, indicating that this is not the
rst time they are experiencing this.
Americans claim they
sent consignment to
Nairobi a fortnight ago

Govt settles
allowances as
athletes y out
BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com
The government nally delivered
half of the overseas allowances to
Team Kenya yesterday as the last
batch prepared to leave today for
the Commonwealth Games due
July 23 to August 3 in Glasgow,
Scotland.
Sports Commissioner Gordon
Oluoch said all the disciplines that
were to leave last night and those
leaving today were to receive their
allowances last evening.
Each of the 195 athletes was to
get Sh522,000 but the govern-
ment only paid half of the amount
while the rest will be delivered to
them in Glasgow. Those who left
earlier will have their allowances
delivered to them, said Oluoch.
We had diculties getting foreign
currency from the banks this was
the cause of the delay.
Sprints and eld events athletes
left yesterday evening while the
rest of the contingent will leave
today save for some athletics team
members who have requested to
leave later. The national 200m
record holder Calvin Nkanata,
who is based in the US, is set to
link up with the team in Glasgow.
He will be teaming up with rugby
player turned sprinter Collins
Omae in the 200m event.
Badminton, cycling (Time trial
and road race), lawn bowling, tria-
thlon, Elite Athletes with Disability
and wrestling teams leave today.
Some athletes in Europe
Athletics coach Boniface Tiren
said the men and womens mara-
thon teams that includes mens
defending champion John Kelai
will leave the country today.
Apparently, some four members
of the cycling team and an ocial
are yet to get their accreditations.
However, National Olympic Com-
mittee of Kenya says it is working
on the issue so the team can
leave before Sunday. The cyclists
include David Kinja and Doreen
Musoliza.
Most of the middle and long
distance track athletes are al-
ready in Europe for the Herculis
Monaco Diamond League event
due Monday. The 800m threesome
of Eunice Sum, Janeth Jepkosgei
and Agatha Jeruto are in Monaco
alongside 800m champion Fergus-
son Rotich.

efending champions Egypt are on course
to claim a third consecutive All Africa
University Games title as the competi-
tion comes to a close tomorrow at the University
of Nairobi.
The North Africans have so far bagged 44
gold medals in ve disciplines, while hosts
Kenya have only managed a paltry ve, all
from track events.
Kenya University Sports Association chair-
man Bonfas Salano said the games have exposed
the countrys weakness in failure to put in place
sustainable structures that encourage the devel-
opment of sporting talent in the universities.
It is clear that countries which have solid
development structures have dominated this
event. We will be rolling out a new universities
program that will see universities take part in as
many games as possible in a league format so
that we can improve in future, Salano said.

Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF)
will nd it very dicult to run this
years leagues unless clubs clear out-
standing competition fees.
Federation xture secretary Joseph
Amoko said second leg xtures set to
beg on August 9 hang in balance as
KBF does not have money to pay for
the match venues and referees.
Of the 44 teams taking part in three
categories of the league, only six have
cleared their fees. These are Co-op-
erative Bank men and women, Equity
Bank, Nairobi Aviation College, Ulinzi
Warriors and Ulinzi Blades.
Mens Premier League has 16 teams,
women (12) while the mens Division
One league also has 16 teams. The
competition was expanded by eight
clubs in 2014.
Amoko said KBF owe the Nyayo
National Stadium Sh180,000 while
the match referees and table ocials
are demanding Sh150,000 in unpaid
allowances.
How do the clubs expect us to hire
venues and pay match ocials if they
dont pay league fees? said Amoko.
All the match venues have to be
paid for except the KPA Makande
gymnasium in Mombasa where KBF
has been exempted.
We have no option but to exclude
the aected teams from the second
leg unless they settle their debts,
said Amoko.
Club debts threaten to stall restart of KBF leagues
rst in the 10,000m race after crossing the line in
30.31.11 minutes ahead of Peter Ngeno (30.50.11)
and Ugandas Benjamin Njia (31.51.01).
Egypt however claimed 15 medals in track and
eld events, seven of these being gold. Ghana came
second in this discipline with the same number of
gold medals, with Kenya trailing in third place with
ve.
Zimbabwe were the poorest performers in the
track events nishing in eighth place with only one
silver medal.
In football, Uganda nished rst in an event Kenya
elded two teams in the womens category. Kenya
Methodist University (Kemu) impressed in their rst
matches, beating both Ugandas Makerere University
and Masinde Muliro University (MMUST) by three
goals, only to lose 4-1 to the Ugandans on post-match
penalties in their last match.
The results saw Ugandans, who had earlier on
beaten MMUST 2-0, nishing top followed by Kemu
and MMUST. The womens basketball competition
bears more hope for Kenya as the United States
International University (USIU) posted their third
win by beating Uganda 59-39 yesterday.
We will be rolling out a new
universities program that will see
universities take part in as many
games as possible so that we can
improve in future

Rudisha is back,
expect something
special from him
A
llow me to
enjoy the brag-
ging rights for
once. I cant help but
just celebrate the re-
turn of King David
Rudisha.
Some weeks ago
when I stated clearly in this column
that Rudisha was on his way back
to the top, my prediction were met
with a lot of scepticism.
I even received calls from the
doubting Thomases who told me in
no uncertain terms that I had it all
wrong. This was after Rudisha placed
seventh in his rst race from a year-
long injury in Eugene, Oregon some
one and a half months ago.
Rudisha made me a very proud
man after living up to my expecta-
tions last week at the Sainsburys
Glasgow Grand Prix. He didnt just
win but equalled the world leading
time of 1:43.34 posted by Kenyan
compatriot Asbel Kiprop in Paris
two weeks back.
Rudisha had predicted he would
run close to 1:42 - a show of con-
dence that he can still run close to
his world record of 1:40.91.
But despite not getting 1:42, I
was still happy with the 1:43.34 and
I believe very soon he will achieve his
goal. More importantly, his perform-
ance in Glasgow will certainly boost
his condence going forward.
For all the criticism that he re-
ceived from the public, I am happy
that Rudisha didnt let his detrac-
tors bog him down but instead he
took everything in his stride, in the
practical sense of the word.
The sight of Rudisha delivering
a solo sub-53 seconds in the nal
lap was something to behold for
the 15,000 fans in attendance at
Hampden Park after pacemaker
Sammy Tangui had run the first
400m in 49.94.
I could not help but marvel at
the huge talent that Rudisha is as
he strode to the front and immedi-
ately opened a huge gap round the
penultimate bend to sprint down
the home straight covering the
600m in 1:16.28 with the nal 200m
in 26.34.
Rudishas 15th Diamond League
career victory took him to the top
of the current series ahead of Ol-
ympic silver medallist, Nijel Amos
of Botswana.
Amos opted for the 400m race
in which he nished last in 46.34
in the non-Diamond League event
won by his compatriot Issac Mak-
wala in 44.71.
I need not belabour the point that
Rudisha is back at his best.
If there are still any doubting Tho-
mases out there, just watch him at the
Commonwealth Games starting next
week in Glasgow, Scotland and you
will know what I am talking about.
With Rudisha representing Kenya
in the event alongside Ferguson Rot-
ich and Evans Kipkorir I am ready to
bet all my savings for a Kenyan gold
medal in the two-lap race, courtesy
of Rudisha.

The annual Kenya Communications
Sports Organisation (Kecoso) Games
will for the rst time this year include
a 21km Peace Marathon.
The 35th edition of the Annual
Games will be held at the Kipchoge
Keino Stadium in Eldoret from August
9-17 and organisers have lined up the
marathon as the main event in the
championship.
Registration for the marathon kicks
o today at all post oces across the
country at a fee of Sh100 with the dead-
line set for August 6. The winners of
the inaugural men and womens race
will each pocket Sh250,000.
The marathon yesterday received
a huge boost after Communications
Authority of Kenya (CA) gave out
a sponsorship of Sh4.7 million for
the preparations and logistics of the
event.
Speaking in Nairobi during the cere-
mony to announce the sponsorship, CA
Director General Francis Wangusi said
the choice of Eldoret as the venue of
the games was informed by the North
Rift towns long history of churning
out world renowned athletes.
Eldoret is the home of world beat-
ers and we could not have chosen a
better venue to host the event, Wan-
gusi said.
It will also help attract crowds to
the Kecoso games which promise to
be very competitive, he added.
Established athletes
Two-time Boston Marathon winner
Moses Tanui representing Athletics
Kenya and also a member of the
Games organising committee called
on the established athletes to sign up
for the race so as to make it more
competitive.
Tanui also allayed fears that the
Kipchoge Keino Stadium, would
not be ready for use when the event
begins. Early this month, there were
speculations that the games would be
moved to Kenyatta Stadium in Macha-
kos County as the renovation of the
Kipchoge Keino Stadium had stalled.
Kecoso Chairman Mutua Muthusi how-
ever said the venue for the games had
been inspected and given a clean bill
of health to host the event.
The inspectors were satised with
the venues and we promise Kenyans
that the game will be successful,
Muthusi told the Daily Nation Sport.

because the match is not in the Fifa inter-

over the same reason.
Whoever is available will have to up their

Wanyama wants more from Stars
BY NATION REPORTER
sportsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com
Kenyan Premier League strikers are
struggling to nd the back of the net
this season, statistics by the competi-
tions governing body indicate.
According to the records, Enock Ag-
wanda and Edwin Oduor are the top
marksmen in the competition so far.
The Sofapaka forward has netted
a paltry seven goals in 18 league ap-
pearances, a ratio of one goal in every
two and a half games. The youngsters
last strike was in his teams 3-3 draw
against Western Stima three months
ago.
Sony Sugars Oduor has one of his
goals coming via a penalty kick.
Tuskers Cliord Aluwanga, Ulinzi
Stars forward Steven Waruru and an-
other Sofapaka forward John Baraza,
and Ugandan Dan Sserunkuma come
joint third on the scorers log with six
goals each - an average of a strike in
every three league games.
Kenya internationals Kepha Aswani
with four goals, Rama Salim (4), Jesse
Were (4), Jacob Keli (2) and Mungai
Kiongera (2) after 18 games, are also
yet to set the competition alight in goal
scoring terms.
Second highest scorer
Were - who nished last seasons
campaign as second highest goal
scorer with 15 goals - has attributed
the current scarcity on poor state of
pitches.
The state of the pitch doesnt help
our cause. At times the ball bounces
awkwardly and controlling it requires
more than one bounce. Otherwise, it
is also important to appreciate that
the league is more competitive this
season. Defenders and midfielders
rarely give anything away the Tusker
forward said.
Goals a very scarce commodity in the KPL this season
moments after featuring in the teams barren
draw against Burundi at the Nyayo Stadium
on Tuesday evening.
Sporting Kansas defender Lawrence Olum,
David Cheche Ochieng who plays in the
Saudi Arabia league and Belgium based
forward Ayub Timbe are however expected
to link up with the squad moments to the
four-hour ight. Stars require signicant im-
provement from Tuesdays performance in
the friendly against Burundi if they are to
stand a chance of returning with a positive
result from Maseru.
Against the Swallows at the Nyayo Stadium,
the hosts dominated possession especially in
mideld but Jacob Keli, Mungai Kiongera Ge-
orey Kataka and MacDonald Mariga lacked
that crucial nishing touch, an aspect that
is certain to have bothered head coach Adel
Amrouche, who was following the proceedings
from the stands. Meanwhile Lesotho coach
Seephephe Matete might be forced to seek al-
ternatives to midelder Ralekoti Mokhahlane
(who scored in the last encounter between
these two teams last year), Motlalepula Mo-
folo , striker Thapelo Tale and rst choice
custodian Mohau Kuenane who all picked up
injuries during the teams 2-0 loss to Botswana
in Gaborone on Monday.
This is a worrying development because
Sundays tie is very crucial to our chances of
progressing, Matete told Cafonline.

tina in the nal on Sunday.
BIG BACKLASH
Brazil in mass cull

Brazil continued a mass clea-
rout of their World Cup back-
room sta on Tuesday following
the resignation of coach Luiz
Felipe Scolari.
Team doctor Jose Luis Runco
and head of communications Ro-
drigo Paiva became the latest cas-
ualties of a campaign that turned
on its head with the 7-1 semi-nal

ian Football Confederation (CBF)
said. Scolari and his assistants
went on Monday. Runco was a
veteran of the 2002 campaign
who had been in the post ever
since, Globo reported.
RAVE REVIEWS
Pricey, but tourists
give Cup thumbs up
A Despite high prices, World
Cup tourists have given a big
thumbs up to the just-ended
event in Brazil, according to a
study released Tuesday. The
Datafolha Institute poll showed
83 percent of respondents felt
the month-long tournament had
been well organized to just three
percent who rated organization as
poor. Delivery of several stadiums
was delayed almost to the eve of
the competition, but 92 percent
of those questioned across six of
the 12 venues gave high marks
for comfort and security. Brazil
scrapped a swath of initially
planned urban mobility schemes.

Gor Mahia went six points clear at
the summit of the Kenyan Premier
League table after beating relegation
threatened Top Fry 1-0 at the Nairobi
City Stadium yesterday.
The win hauled their points tally to
37 from 18 matches, ahead of second
placed Tusker.
Cameroonian defender Simon Pierre
gave coach Bobby Williamson food for
thought by scoring the all-important
goal in the ninth minute.
A fringe Gor player, the right full
back who benefited from the ab-
sence of Ugandan left back Godfrey
Walusimbi and vice-skipper David
Calabar Owino, benched for this
match, put up a strong display to
merit rst eleven consideration in
future matches.
After collecting the ball in the 18
metre box, a calm Pierre brilliantly
drilled home his shot catching Top Fry
goalkeeper Shaban Odoji at footed.
Gor coach Bobby Williamson made
changes in his squad in the absence
of key players Godfrey Baba Kizito
and Godfrey Walusimbi, away on in-
ternational duty with Uganda.
Pierre, Harun Shakava, Musa Mo-
hamed and Kennedy Opiyo a June
signing from Mathare United manned
the defense.
In mideld Daniel Onyango, com-
bative Collins Gatusso Okoth and
Erick Ochieng partnered in a 4-3-3
formation that had Joseph Kariuki,
Timothy Otieno and former inter-
national Patrick Oboya leading the
attacks.
After the opening goal, the momen-
tum of the game reduced with no clear
cut chances created until the 29th
minute when Kennedy Opiyo picked
out Gors front man Timothy Otieno in
the box with a long pass but the striker
red wide from a tight angle.
Cersidy Lumumba should have
restored parity for Top Fry at the
stroke of half time but he was denied
by the cross bar with Gor custodian
Jerim Onyango beaten.
I didnt expect such a great game. I
introduced news players and they did
well. We now have to work hard to pre-
serve our six points lead, Gor coach
Williamson said after the match.

L
ouis van Gaal started a new era
at Manchester United yesterday
as the Dutch manager arrived
for his rst day in charge of the fallen
giants.
Just days after securing the Nether-
lands third place nish at the World
Cup, van Gaal jetted into Manchester
to begin the task of restoring United to
their position as the Premier Leagues
preeminent force.
The 62-year-old Dutchman was ap-
pointed as replacement for the sacked
David Moyes two months ago, but his
World Cup commitments meant he had
to wait until now to ocially take the
reins at Old Traord.
Van Gaal faces a significant re-
building job after United endured
a miserable campaign under Alex
Fergusons hand-picked successor
Moyes, nishing seventh in the Pre-
mier League and failing to qualify for
the Champions League.
With much to do, van Gaal, back in
club management for the rst time
since leaving Bayern Munich in 2011,
was so keen to get down to business
that he opting against taking a holiday
after the World Cup. The former Bar-
celona boss arrived in England on a
private plane and was whisked from the
airport to Uniteds Carrington training
ground in a Chevrolet car.
Dressed in a blue suit
Van Gaal was welcomed by his new
assistant, United legend Ryan Giggs,
and the clubs chief executive Ed Wood-
ward, who gave the Dutchman a tour
of the training ground after posing for
pictures posted on the teams ocial
Twitter feed.
Dressed smartly in a blue suit, van
Gaal may have raised a few eyebrows
in Manchester for choosing a blue
and white tie the colours of arch
rivals and Premier League champions
Manchester City rather than the red
of United.
Van Gaal had already sent an ad-
vance party to Manchester ahead of
his arrival and his assistant coaches
Albert Stuivenberg and Marcel
Bout took the rst training
session of the day along with
Giggs before their managers
arrival.
After revealing earlier in
the week that he hopes to
emulate the strong team-
spirit which helped the
Netherlands mount a
strong challenge at the
World, van Gaal was due
to meet his new players for
the rst time before putting
them through their paces in
the second training session of
the day at 5.30pm local time.
The two-a-day sessions are de-
signed to boost the players tness
after the close-season and Uniteds
Brazilian defender Rafael da Silva
was keen to embrace the challenge,
tweeting a picture from inside the
dressing room captioned Lets go,
two sessions.
Seven domestic league titles
Van Gaal, who won the Champions
League with Ajax in 1995 and a
combined seven domestic league
titles in Spain, Germany and Hol-
land, will be ocially presented at a
press conference at 3pm local time
on Thursday before ying out to the
United States on Friday for the clubs
pre-season tour.
United will play matches against
the Los Angeles Galaxy, Roma,
Inter Milan and Real Madrid
before beginning their Premier
League campaign at home to
Swansea on August 16. Those
matches will give van Gaal his
rst chance to see new signings
Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera
in action.
England left-back Shaw, 19, ar-
rived from Southampton for 30
million, making him the most ex-
pensive teenager in the history of
the game, while Spanish midelder
Herrera cost 29 million from Ath-
letic Bilbao. That 59 million spree
isnt likely to be the end of van
Gaals spending, with the manager
reportedly keen to sign an expe-
rienced centre-back following the
departures of Nemanja Vidic and
Rio Ferdinand, while also looking to
add more pace and creativity on the
wings. (AFP)
London
Spain striker Diego Costa (left) has
completed his transfer to Chelsea from
Atletico Madrid, the English Premier
League side announced Tuesday.
The Brazil-born forward had long
been linked with a move to the Lon-
don side and completion of the deal
appeared to be imminent after the Blues
said earlier this month they had met
the buy-out clause for the 25-year-old,
whose transfer transfer fee could be in
the region of 32 million ($55 million,
40 million euros).
Chelsea Football Club is delighted
to announce Diego Costa has today
(Tuesday) completed his transfer from
Atletico Madrid by signing a ve-year
contract, a statement from the Lon-
don club said. He will join up with the
rst team for our pre-season European
training camp next week.
Costa scored 35 goals for Atletico last
season as they won the Spanish title
and reached the Champions League
nal, only to lose in extra-time to city
rivals Real Madrid after they had de-
feated Chelsea in the semi-nal.
His desire to represent Spain, rather
than Brazil, at this years World Cup in
his homeland backred spectacularly
as the reigning champions crashed out
in the rst round.
Costa joins former Arsenal and
Barcelona midelder Cesc Fabregas
in moving from Spain to Stamford
Bridge this pre-season.
I am very happy to sign for Chel-
sea, Costa told his new clubs website.
Everybody knows it is a big club in a
very competitive league, and I am very
excited to get started in England with a
fantastic coach and team-mates.
Having played against Chelsea last
season I know the high quality of the

A
major shake-up looms
at the Lands Ministry
as the National Lands
Commission moves to vet
ocers to serve across the
country.
The commission has placed
an internal advert calling on
all employees whose functions
have been transferred to the
commission to apply afresh
before being subjected to vet-
ting and appointed.
According to section 31
(2) of the NLC Act, ministry
workers in departments which
were transferred to the com-
mission in March 2103 must
undergo vetting.
This nancial year we re-
ceived Sh1.6 billion which will
partly be used to conduct the
vetting which we were not able
to do, commission chairman
Muhammad Swazuri told the
Nation.
Staff are encouraged to
apply for the recruitment
that will close at the end of
July and the shortlisted can-
didates made public in the
newspapers.
The public will then be
invited to submit informa-
tion on the individuals to
the commission secretariat
at Ardhi House, the ministry
headquarters in Nairobi.
Sources, however, indicated
that the sta are being dis-
couraged from applying for
the jobs in the ongoing turf
wars between the ministry
and the commission.
There are also fears that
the vetting could bring out
the many cases of malprac-
tice at the ministry when the
public submits information on
the ocers.
Unscrupulous brokers
Lands ocials have been
accused of frustrating clients
and colluding with unscrupu-
lous brokers to grab peoples
land.
We are calling on all Ken-
yans to bring information that
will help the commission vet
the officers. The problem
is that Kenyans wait until
people are appointed to oer
information, yet this is a
great opportunity to clear our

Battle for the
P.2-3
For years KICC has been the denitive
feature on Nairobis postcards, followed
by the tallest structure in the region,
Times Tower. But this will soon be
dwarfed by six new buildings coming
up in the city, including what is billed to
become Africas third tallest tower
coverstory
BY VINCENT ACHUKA
@achukavincent
vinachuka@gmail.com
T
he panoramic view of
Nairobi from its highest
point is exhilarating.
Whichever way you look,
something is likely to capture your
attention, be it the magnicent
towers of the CBD, the new blocks
towering over Upper Hill, or the
backdrops of Ngong Hills to the
south, Mua Hills to the east, or
Mt Kenya to the north.
If you were to climb to the
citys highest point with a
camera, therefore, you would
be spoilt for choice. Celebrated
photographer Mutua Matheka has
done it before, and his pictures are
phenomenal.
For a long time the government-
owned Kenyatta International
Convention Centre (KICC) held
the crown of the tallest man-made
structure in Nairobi and the wider
East and Central Africa after it
was completed in 1978. A trip to
Nairobi, therefore, was considered
incomplete if a visitor did not have
a picture taken with the iconic
building behind him or her, or
one with the citys horizon in
the background as you scream
from the helipad of this iconic
structure.
In 2000, however, KICC
watched helplessly from its
concrete tether as Times Tower
slowly rose above it, eectively
ending its reign as the regions
testament to the brilliance of
architecture.
But, whereas Times Tower
beat KICC in sheer height it
towers 140 metres above Nairobi
it failed to outclass it in terms
of architectural design, and so
the convention centre remains
Nairobis most preferred image
on postcards.
These two buildings have
remained the ocial landmarks
of Nairobi for the last 14 years.
When Times Tower was ocially
crowned the regions tallest
man-made structure in May
2000, many had hoped that the
government would go on with
its spending spree and put up
more skyscrapers, but the rate of
economic growth slowed down,
pushing the Treasury out of the
race to conquer skies.
The government, however,
left the stage with its head held
high; it had not only established
a huge presence in the CBD, but
also owned the tallest buildings in
the land, in the names of Times
Tower, KICC and Teleposta
Towers, in that order.
The private sector stepped into
the eld with gusto, and earlier this
week it toppled the government
from its towering pedestal. On
Monday, construction workers
were doing final preparations
for the topping up ceremony,
expected to take place next week,
for the magnicent UAP Towers
in Upper Hill.
In construction parlance,
topping up is a rite carried
out when the last beam or its
equivalent is placed atop a
structure. It signals the end of the
construction period and ushers in
the nishing stage, during which
most mechanical, plumbing and
electrical systems are tted.
Ocially, this means that the
KICC has been relegated further
into third place among the tallest
skyscrapers in the country as UAP
Towers makes an entry into the
league of iconic landmarks of
Nairobi.
Standing 31 oors, the structure
is seven oors shorter than Times
Tower and two levels higher than
KICC. But, despite its leaner
muscle in the levels category, it
beats all Nairobis oers to become
the new king of the sky because of
the higher elevation of its site.
This record was previously held
by the 16-storey Rahimtulla Tower,
also known as Rahimtulla Trust
Building which, because of its
strategic Upper Hill location,
towered over the rest of the city,
giving one unobstructed views of
the entire metropolis.
Jackson Theuri, the UAP
Insurance Chief Financial Ocer,
is an ecstatic man. He has watched
the tower grow slowly from the
ground as cranes kept piling on
the concrete, and now says the new
building is the only structure in
the city centre that is visible from
the runway at the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport, and that it
is expected to remain that way for
a long time to come.
Still within Upper Hill,
construction is being hastened
for the 31-storey Britam Towers,
also expected to be completed
next year, and hot on its heels
along 3rd Ngong Avenue is the
33-storey, all-glass-exterior Kings
Prism tower the reason for the
name is clear as the structure looks
like ve prisms stacked on top of
one another.
At the city centre, the
construction of the Sh7 billion,
40-oor Hazina Trade Centre is
in high gear as an all-out war for
honours in an industry where size
matters gains momentum.
And it is not just about size,
the architectural designs of these
iconic buildings are pushing the
boundaries, with emphasis on
energy-saving characteristics
and visual appeal. Both UAP
Towers and Kings Prism will have
intelligent light control systems
that will enable lights to switch
themselves on when someone
enters a room and o when they
leave, for instance.
Also, the all-glass walls of
Kings Prism will minimise the
need to switch on lights during
the day, saving a considerable
amount of electricity.
Wind ow was considered when
designing the UAP Tower, which
would enable it to have natural air
conditioning. Its close competitor,
Britam Towers, will have wind
turbines to generate power for
some parts of the building while
Hazina Towers will have vegetated
roof terraces and a helipad.
Currently, Nairobi has only 12
buildings that tower more than
80 metres, but this number is
expected to rise to 18 by the year
2016, when six more buildings
are expected to join the roll of
honour.
These are Hazina Towers,
Britam Towers, Kings Prism, UAP
Towers, Le Mac, KCB Plaza and
CTDLT Towers.
But why the sudden clamour for
skyscrapers in the capital? Experts
say this is a sign of a maturing real
estate industry, and that Nairobi is
also asserting itself as a nancial
hub in the region.
What has been happening
in the past is sprawling as the
city expanded its boundaries
to neighbouring counties to
compensate for lack of land, but
it appears that Nairobis real estate
industry is nally maturing, says
Robert Yawe, a nancial analyst
and real estate consultant at
Quadrant Shift Africa.
He says the high cost of land
is one of the factors that have
pushed developers to construct
super tall structures as land is a
major component of the overall
construction costs of any building,
adding that the ownership of these
new kings of the sky by nancial
institutions has been necessitated
by the desire to diversify their
incomes and increase their
assets.
If you look at the new
structures coming up, most of
them are owned by insurance
rms, which also shows that the
nancial market is growing and,
in the spirit of competition, it is
only natural that rms which are
making a lot of money use it to
get more, he explains.
And, while it may alarm some
Currently, Nairobi has only 12

investment consultants that these
rms are pumping their billions
into the real estate sector, in a real
sense these are unlikely to dent the
pockets of the organisations. For
instance, Britam has an asset base
of Sh25 billion in Kenya, and by
the end of 2012 NSSF, the owners
of Hazina Towers, had a portfolio
of Sh121.5 billion.
Mr Theuri, the UAP CFO,
agrees, adding that the insurer
chose to break ground at Upper
Hill because, as a result of good
connectivity and infrastructure,
Nairobi is witnessing an upsurge
of multinationals, which has in
turn exerted a lot of pressure on
the market to put up modern oce
blocks that can serve as regional
headquarters.
We realised that there was
a shortage of Grade A office
accommodation and decided to
enter the real estate industry,
he adds.
A report released last year
by Mentor Management, a
real estate rm, showed that
companies were willing
to pay double the market
rate of $0.7 per square
foot charged by a majority
of developers at the city
centre in order to relocate
to city suburbs like Upper Hill
and Westlands.
The report cited insecurity,
traffic congestion and lack of
adequate parking space within
the city centre as one of the main
reasons why rms would wish to
relocate.
And the exodus is already
happening. Some of the firms
that have moved from the city
centre are the Nairobi Stock
Exchange, Barclays Bank, Equity
Bank, Standard Chartered and
Commercial Bank of Africa. British
oil giant Tullow Oil snubbed the
city centre when it was setting
up in Nairobi, opting to
instead settle on West End
towers along Waiyaki Way. Those
currently planning to move out
include Kenya Commercial Bank,
which is expected to move from
Kencom to its 20-storey KCB
Plaza in Upper Hill.
The report also projected that
Upper Hill and Westlands will
contribute 70 per cent of the
1.7 million square feet of oce
space that will come into the
market annually over the next
two years.
To match this increased demand
for oce space, developers keen
on cashing in are constructing
taller buildings to serve as oce
blocks in areas that were once
residential areas but are close to
the city centre.
With the high cost of land
in Nairobi, you have only two
options; either you increase the
rent which would mean a
lower occupancy rate or you
increase the number of floors,
hence the inclination to go
vertical, says Anthony Kinja, a
real estate consultant at Wealth
Inc Realtors.
Areas aected by this sudden
demand for oce space outside
the city centre are Upper Hill,
Westlands and Kilimani, a fact
that Mr Kinja argues is a normal
evolution process for a growing
city.
Nairobi has previously
underutilised its land resource,
because a place like Kilimani,
which is just three kilometres
from the CBD, has until recently
been occupied by families living on
half-acre plots, so it is natural that
oces take over that space as the
economy grows, he says.
Kinja argues that although
some developers would love to
construct new skyscrapers at
the city centre to compete with
the ones already there, there is
currently no space available for
such an undertaking.
The higher you build, the wider
your base should be, he explains.
It would be uneconomical to
construct a skyscraper in the
city centre where the average
size of a plot is an eighth of an
acre, which on Moi Avenue costs
around Sh500 million.

A
part from their urban
homes, many Kenyans
have a second home in
the rural area. This second
home is often a retreat of sorts, where
they can steal away from the hustle
and bustle of the city. While this
home is seldom used, it should not
be neglected in terms of dcor and
overall appearance. It can be just
as beautiful and functional with the
right touches. Here are a few ways to
keep your rural house just as stylish
as your city/town one.
In the family
Some homeowners inherit their
rural homes from their family and
due to sentimental reasons, will rarely
touch it to spruce it up. Granted,
it can be a thoughtful and wonderful
thing to keep things the same for
posterity, but you can still decorate the
space and keep a touch of your family.
One way to do this is to go through
the house and get rid of anything you
dont need. Next, do a careful audit
of what you really need and nally put
away the things you need merely for
sentimental reasons these could
include family heirlooms like a set
of plates, an old radio, a special
chair, jewellery, a mirror or even
some old tablecloths. Pick what
really matters to you and them
as accessories in your home,
preferably alongside some of your
own furniture and accessories, to
make the home truly yours.
Breaking up
One of the downsides of maintaining
an old house is the number of repairs
needed to restore it. Priority repair
areas are electrical wiring and
plumbing to enhance convenience
and remove potential hazards.
Take it from the top
If you dont have an old home and
have to build one of your own, be very
clear what you want and how much
you want to spend to avoid a white
elephant project.
To make the house functional
and easy to use, invest in a good
architectural plan from day one to make
sure that the house is a great design
this frame will allow you to then put
in even the minimum xtures and still
have a great looking house. So before
you start worrying about what tiles will
match the granite kitchen tops, brief
your architect to give you a simple and
ergonomic design, preferably one that
makes use of natural light and locally
produced building materials. For some
homeowners, another dcor dilemma
is how much to spend on construction,
and especially on modern amenities
like bathtubs and tted cupboard in
the kitchen. While such decisions are
subjective, it is important to note that
you dont need a truckload of money
to make your rural home beautiful and
comfortable; using basic xtures and
ttings will do just ne if you dont
have a big budget.
Easy breezy
When buying items such as furniture
or linen for the home, look for simple,
durable but easy-to-maintain items.
A good example is classic mahogany
furniture that will last for years but
only needs an occasional wipe and
shine. A quintessential Kenyan item
that will serve you for years are locally
produced blankets. Make them even
more modern with some decorative
borders. If you come from a place
with lots of livestock, you can get a
sheepskin rug and a few goat/cow
hides to upholster a seat or use as
wall art. The idea here is to decorate
the house to reect the surroundings
and celebrate the spirit of the
place. In the same vein, if you come
from the Coast, an easy way to make
your house cool and airy is to use
locally available textiles like khangas
and kikoys to make curtains and
bedding. This will serve you better
then expensive imported textiles and
whats more, they will make your space
truly Kenyan.
Magic colour
The trick to making your rural
home look modern lies in the colour.
Juxtapose your family heirlooms and
further accentuate the simplicity of
your space with some unexpected
colour choices. Unexpected because
many people tend to only use simple
neutrals on the walls of their rural
homes. This is mostly due to the
unavailability of other shades from
local hardware stores. That said,
there is a light at the end of every
paint tunnel- and it is well worth
every eort to get dierent and more
exciting shades of paint to really bring
your space to life, so do invest in some
good quality of paint and inject some
colour by using shades like mint, bright
purple, neon yellow, grey, stripes of
navy and white to give your walls a
much needed trendy face.
Even though you spend
only a little time there,
you should not neglect
it in terms of decor and
overall appearance.
Spruce it up to ensure
that even your short
stays are comfortable.

Axle load rule
sees sand prices
rise by 50pc
Property developers in Nairobi will
have to adjust their budgets after
the price of sand rose by 50 per cent
following the enforcement of an
axle load rule by the Kenya National
Highways Authority (KeNHA).
The increment has forced
transporters to cut the load weight
per truck from 34 tonnes to 18
tonnes.
Mlolongo-based United
Transporters Sacco, which controls
75 per cent of the citys supply, has
subsequently raised its prices from
Sh2,000 to Sh3,000 per tonne to
make up for the loss.
Enhanced vigilance by KeNHA and
trac police is meant to minimise
the damage caused to roads by
heavy trucks.
Transporters caught outing the
18-tonne limit risk a Sh400,000 ne
while those evading the Mlolongo
weighbridge face a penalty of
Sh175,000.
Cheap Bamburi
loads for low
income earners
Low-income earners will access
cheap loans to construct houses
as long as they use only Bamburi
Cement products.
The deal by the cement makers
parent rm, Lafarge, and the World
Banks private sector lending arm,
International Finance Corporation,
will see borrowers get between
Sh130,500 and Sh175,000 per 20
square metres.
The money will be channelled
through several micro-nance
institutions, including Raki
Micronance Bank, KWFT Bank and
Faulu Kenya.
Bamburi will design plans, prepare
bills of quantity and oer technical
assistance in the construction of
homes while the loan recipients will
buy cement from the company.
The programme also covers
renovation and extension of existing
houses.
The strategy is aimed at growing
Bamburis sales in the highly
competitive cement market, which
has seen prices go down over the
last few years.
Standard Bank
in limited cheap
mortgage oer
Standard Chartered Bank has
unveiled an oer for mortgage rates
of 10.9 per cent, but only for 45 days.
This is 1.77 per cent above the
recently unveiled Kenya Banks
Reference Rate (KBBR). The bank
says that the margin of 1.77 per
cent on top of KBRR will remain
xed for the duration of the facility.
This makes the loans interest rate
oating but dependent on the KBBR.
The bank is oering borrowers
up to Sh100 million to buy homes,
with a repayment period of up to
25 years.
It has also oered to buy out
mortgage loans advanced by other
institutions and will waive the legal
and valuation fees. The oer runs
until August 31.
The loans come at a time when
mortgage rates in the country have
averaged above 15 per cent for the
better part of this and last year.

Artisans can now get free vocational
training following the opening of a centre
of excellence in Nairobi.
The Alibhai Shari Centre of Excellence
at the Thika Road Mall will oer training in
carpentry, metal fabrication, painting and
electrical works.
The centre was launched in response to
the growing consumer needs, which are a
reection of the accelerated infrastructure
development in the country, that will need
to be supported by a diverse set of skills
and services, Mr Raq Shari, Alibhai
Shari CEO, said during the launch last
week.
The centre will collaborate with the
National Construction Authority, the
industry regulator, to have the artisans
accredited, Mr Shari said.
He added that developing competence
among local artisans would help empower
small-scale businesses and individual
the real growth drivers of the countrys
economy by enabling them to
participate actively in the growing sector, as
well as to produce goods and services that
can stand the challenge of international
competition.
To kick start the initiative, six instructors, ,
were sponsored by Alibhai Shari and their
international partner, Dewalt, for a Global
Tool Trainer Certication (GTTC) course at
the Stanley Black and Decker University in
Dubai.
The instructors have been using their
newly-acquired skills to enhance training
at the centre. In its rst week of operation,
the centre trained 73 artisans, 10 per cent of
whom were women.
Mr Shari said creating a benchmark for
local goods and services would ultimately
improve the quality of products and
services available to end-users, adding,
Beyond an assurance of the quality of our
products, we remain committed to working
with partners who are also keen to promote
sustainable local supply chains....
The company will work with the
government and the Housing Finance
Foundation, under the latters agship
programme seeking to create an army of
one million artisans.
The company has also partnered with
Sadolin Paints East Africa Ltd to train the
artisans painting techniques.
Meanwhile, Mr Peter Kariuki, the
governance, accountability and delivery
adviser to the presidency, said the
launching of the centre was timely, noting
that importance of high artisanship skills. i
This national metamorphosis into
a middle-income country by 2030, if
facilitated through local skilled labour, will
satisfy the directive of the Ministry of Lands,
Housing and Urban Development, which
stipulates that 30 per cent of all national
construction work be granted to local
companies, including artisans, resulting in
overall improved living standards, he said.

homeowners will have
to dig deeper into their
pockets following the
introduction of new taxes and
fees by the government in the
last few months.
For instance, the government
has raised the import duty on
steel to 25 per cent, potentially
raising the cost of this vital
construction component
if local steel mills do not
significantly increase
production.
This has been
followed up with a 0.5
per cent construction
levy imposed by the
National Construction
Authority on works
valued at more than Sh5
million.
The price of sand in Nairobi
has also shot up by 50 per cent
following the imposition of
an axle load limit on trucks
ferrying the commodity by
the Kenya National Highways
Authority (KeNHA).
And this even before one
considers the betterment
and capital gains taxes that
continue looming in the real
estate sector.
Besides, county governments
have raised building plan
submission fees by considerable
margins.
The Kenya Property
Developers Association in April
said that following the review
of certain fees by City Hall,
construction permit fees in
Nairobi had risen from between
0.001 per cent to 0.006 per
cent of the cost of construction,
to 1.25 per cent.
Mentor Holdings Chairman
Daniel Ojijo said that any extra
charges are a cause for concern,
given that developers are
already dealing with a host of
other fees. Developers already
have to pay a Nema levy and a
county government levy. One
also has to consider that land is
very expensive. Any additional
levy is a further cost that will
be passed on to house buyers,
Mr Ojijo said.
But of more concern perhaps
will be the dashed hopes of
cheaper credit. The sector has
been awaiting the outcome of a
report by a taskforce that was
formed by the Treasury to look
for ways of bringing down
interest rates but last week
came up with what has been
described as a blunt tool.
Although some developers
remain hopeful, the Kenya
Bankers Association has
said that the Kenya Banks
Reference Rate (KBBR) that
was unveiled last week is not
likely to prompt a downward
review of lending rates,
although it will improve
transparency.
The governments
promise that the Sh170
billion Eurobond cash would
see it keep o the domestic
market and thereby spur
banks to lend to customers
at a cheaper rate has also not
materialised.
Besides a reduction in
interest rates, sector players
have also been expecting a
review or phasing out of the
stamp duty for first-time
home buyers as stipulated in
the Jubilee manifesto, but the
government has maintained
a studious silence on the
matter.
Stamp duty is levied at a rate
of four per cent of the value
of a property during transfer
and is one of the signicant
additional costs customers
have to grapple with when
buying a house.
Import duty on

Thanks to the pressures of
modern living and an increasing
number of health-conscious
people, the popularity of saunas is
increasing.
Rita Kibet, a Nairobi-based
executive who had one installed
at home, says: I used to go for a
sauna every week to help me cope
with my high blood pressure but
when my life got too hectic, I could
not make it to my tness club so
I decided to have one installed at
home. It has helped me a lot.
Ms trend has led to marked sales
of sauna equipment, according
to Davis & Shirtli, which supplies
them in East Africa.
The Kenyan economy is
experiencing growth, and with it the
demand for luxurious living, mainly
among the upper-middle and
upper classes. They now want to
have everything they feel they need
right in their own homes, says the
companys chief executive ocer,
Mr Alec Davis.
He added that urban
sophisticated lifestyles have also
created a more health-conscious
consumer, driving the uptake of
saunas alongside gym equipment.
The company has installed
about 5,000 saunas in the country,
4,000 of them in residential homes,
which now account for 80 per cent
of sauna purchases.
Over the past four years, the
company has installed sauna
equipment in homes in Kileleshwa,
Karen, Lavington, Muthaiga and
Runda in Nairobi, as well as further
aeld in Nyeri, Eldoret and Thika,
says Mr Davis.

W
ood plays an
important role in
home dcor since
many aspects of
functional and decorative furniture
incorporate it. Little wonder, then,
that the couch, sofa set, coee
table, entertainment unit, dining
set, beds, bedside tables, closets
and kitchen cabinetry are mostly
made of wood in Kenya.
Today, wooden furniture is
easily available, what with the
proliferation of furniture shops
even at local shopping centres in
most towns, not to mention the
established ones in the city or town
centres. However, judging how
long a piece of wooden furniture
is likely to last just by looking at
it is not possible. It takes more
than simply admiring a piece
to get the right quality, since
wooden furniture comes in a
wide variety.
Almost any type of wood can be
used to make furniture, but some
are better than others because
of their beauty, durability, and
functionality.
The ability to identify the type of
wood used for a particular piece of
furniture can help determine its real
value. With time, though, one can
learn to recognise dierent types of
wood by their smell, touch, colour
and grain.
In order to get the right furniture,
consider the following.
What is readily available: Before
you buy any wooden furniture, visit
and talk to stockists in furniture
shops, interior designers and even
craftsmen who make such furniture.
This will give you an idea of the
types of wood that make durable
furniture, whether they are suitable
for specic purposes, and whether
they are locally available or have to
be imported, and the cost.
Type of wood: Two main types of
wood are used to make furniture:
hardwoods and softwoods.
Hardwood is derived from trees
whose fruit is enclosed in a fruit,
such as an acorn; while softwood
is derived from cone-bearing
trees with needle-like leaves. It is
cheaper than hardwood and easier
to work with.
However, it is important to
note that this classication does
not refer to the phsycial strength
of the wood. For instance, balsa
is very light but is classied as a
hardwood.
Hardwood is more durable
than softwood and is, therefore,
preferred for making furniture,
although it is more expensive.
Perhaps the best known hardwood
used for furniture is mahogany.
Others are gum, pine, teak, oak,
walnut and poplar.
Some are readily available locally,
and therefore more affordable,
while others have to be imported.
Carpenters, supermarkets that sell
furniture, interior decorators and
even furniture and interior dcor
shops will advise on the type that
is available.
The less expensive hardwoods
can also be a good choice
depending on their use and
preference, because their surfaces
are generally softer than the other
hardwoods. Because of this, they
also require extra care to avoid
marring or denting. These include
such like cedar and pine.
Wood grain and colour: Wood for
making furniture is chosen and
valued for its grain and colour.
Hardwood comes in a variety of
colours, some of which can be
stained or bleached to change
their original colour, and thus can
be used for various dcor.
Although colour might vary
from tree to tree, the tone is
fairly constant within species.
The colour intensity might
change, but not the quality.
Some woods have very distinctive
colour characteristic; poplar, for
instance, is the only wood with a
green tinge to it, while rosewood
can be dark purple.
One should also look at the grain.
Is the wood open or close-grained?
Are the pores evenly distributed or
are they concentrated in the growth
rings? Is the grain straight, striped,
wavy, curly, rippled, eyed, mottled
or swirled? Hardwoods have
tubular cells called vessels that
are visible as pores in the wood.
If the cells are large, the texture of
the wood is slightly rough, or open.
If the cells are small, the texture
is smooth and these are woods
described as close-grained. Oak,
walnut, ash, mahogany, rosewood,
and teak are all open-grained
Wood
comes in a
wide range
of textures
and
colours,
and its
hard to
tell how
durable it
is just by
looking at
it. Some
knowledge
of its
features is
useful.

woods while beech, birch, maple,
cherry, satinwood, gum, and poplar
are close-grained.
Hardwoods have a richer and
ner-textured grain than softwoods,
but there are rich grains of all
colours and patterns. Woods with
very distinctive patterns are usually
more valued than woods with
subdued or indistinct patterns, and
the weaker-grained woods are often
stained to give them character.
This is why old nishing must be
completely removed before one can
tell for sure what wood a piece of
furniture is made of.
Do not just shop for price, shop
for quality as well: Though
wooden furniture is now available
for all pocket sizes, there are major
differences in quality. The way
wood is joined greatly determines
its durability and beauty. Butted and
mitered joints are weaker and do
not stand up to heavy wear unless
reinforced.
Table and chair legs should
be reinforced with triangular or
diagonal blocks of wood that will
keep the joints square and help
stabilise the furniture when it is
moved or when pressure is applied
to the surface.
Dowels (wooden pegs slotted
into two opposing holes) are good,
as are screws. The best joints are
either dovetail or mortise-and-
tenon (narrowed end of one piece
inserted into a hole in the other).
Look for thin sheets of wood
between drawers in a chest
of drawers or desk. While not
necessary, these dust panels
improve structural strength.

Below are some hardwoods
used to make furniture and their

Mahogany has a rich, dark

and is relatively soft and east to
detail where carving is necessary. It
is quite expensive though.
Birch is light tan to almost white.
It has good resistance to shrinking,
swelling, and warping. It also takes
stains well and is often stained to
resemble mahogany, walnut, or
cherry. However, it is hard to work
with where intricate details are
required. Consequently, it is most
commonly used to make furniture
with simple lines. It is also a cheaper
Hardwood

Oak comes in a variety of
colours, ranging from light to
fairly dark. It has good resistance

evenly, and easy to work details
on. It is hard and makes for sturdy
furniture
Teak is hard and heavy, making
it durable. It can be used both
indoors and outdoors, and
extractions such as silica can be
used to make it resistant to rotting.
Maple is light beige to tan and
has a good resistance to shrinking,
warping, and wear. Is very hard
and can be dicult to detail.
Ebony is brown to near black,
and is often stained black to
emphasise its distinct grain
pattern. It is very strong, though
rare and used mostly in inlays.
Rosewood is deep red with black
graining and also has good resistance
to shrinking, swelling, warping, and
wear. It is easy to work with, though
quite rare and expensive. It is often
used as a veneer.
Cherry is reddish-brown. It has good
resistance to shrinking, swelling, and
warping. It dyes well, and is easy to
detail for decorative carving.
Walnut is stained darker greyish-
brown. has good resistance to swelling
and warping and takes stains evenly
and carves well.
Poplar is a light tan, often with
pink- and green-tinted streaks. It
is considered one of the weaker
hardwoods but has the same
shrinkage rating as teak, is easy to
work and is best for interior furniture
parts.

with shaky faltering steps. I looked at him closely. Tears
were rolling down his cheeks like streams of water. He
looked so sad and dejected.
Good afternoon Mzee Wekesa? I said.
Tears continued streaming from his small eyes. I
hate seeing a grown-up weep. It always breaks my

Are you OK sir? I asked him.
I looked at Madoa. He was giggling.
I am g-going to-to Bungoma for a fu-funeral. My

THE PROSPECT of being
your own boss is alluring,
however, before deciding
if entrepreneurship is right
for you, it is recommended
that you take some time to
prepare a business plan. A
business plan is an essen-
tial roadmap for success for
three reasons.
First, it will serve as an
operational guide. Second,
it will list the goals to aim
for and help to narrow your
areas of focus as well as
clarify your business model
and third, it will make
it easier for you to raise
startup capital from third
parties.
It will also give you an
indication of how long you
can run on capital before
the business becomes prof-
itable and able to sustain
itself every month. The
business plan should dene
your marketing strategy
which should be unique
to your product. The plan
should include how you
expect to penetrate the
market, your channels of
distribution, as well as your
growth strategy for the en-
terprise.
Start saving
Many entrepreneurs tap
into personal savings for
startup capital. Once you
have the business plan, it is
important for you to create
a budget and start saving
for your seed money. When
you have the savings goal
and the amount that you
need to save, it helps to
have a timeline for your
target which will further
give you additional motiva-
tion to meet your savings
dream.
Another consideration for
you to make is ask yourself
if you want to run the busi-
ness as a sole proprietor, a
partnership or a limited li-
ability company. In case it
is a partnership or limited
company, you could con-
solidate funds with other
investors to generate your
capital.
You should also consider
joining a group and apply
for funding in the Uwezo
Fund or Youth Enterprise
Fund from the government
that will help you boost
your capital.
As an entrepreneur,
your personal life and
business life are intercon-
nected. Therefore, having
a detailed understanding of
your personal nances, and
the ability to track them is
an essential rst step be-
fore seeking outside fund-
ing for your business.

THE WORD security is now one of the
most commonly used phrases in Kenya.
The government, the media and the
opposition are all talking about it. With
all the security woes we are facing, I can
tell you one thing, businesses are the
worst hit. While crime against business
has been a big issue ever since, it is now
facing another monster terrorism.
Every time you see breaking news
on a blast, you can guess with certainty
that a business asset or an investor is
directly aected. Terrorism is getting
close to all the important elements of
our businesses. When the Westgate
attack happened, it shut down many
ventures assets were destroyed,
business owners and their workers died
and customers lost lives, too. Losing a
business owner is always a huge loss to
any economy. Entrepreneurs risk their
capital to expand the economy, create
opportunities not just for themselves
but for their employees and suppliers
too. Crime is getting to places of
business we never anticipated before.
When a blast happens in Gikomba
market or a Githurai-bound bus, we
can be sure the terrorists are no longer
predictable.
Insurance uptake is very low in Kenya
and few products cover terrorism. But
as a business owner, you certainly need
to start taking insurance seriously.
Insure your assets, premises, equipment
or stock. Did you know that you can
take a business cover where you could
get paid if your business gets disrupted.
You may also want to start adhering to
the Work Injury Benet Act insurance as
sta and their families may start ling
suits against businesses for suering
death or injury under terrorism while
at work. The government on the
other hand perhaps via the Insurance
Regulatory Authority may need to
review and ensure all policies have
terrorism covered. Of course this
means insurance premiums will go up in
price. This is just how doing business is
becoming expensive as more insecurity
permeates our business environment.
I know many business people have
invested heavily in burglar proong
their premises, we now all acknowledge
that it is not enough any more. Blasts
will rip o the walls and metal grills in
your restaurant, bar, bus, stall, stock and
the entire premises.
We all know that our internal security
forces lack capacity to immediately deal
with these new forms of insecurity. The
onus is therefore on you as a business
owner to adapt to the changing
business environment.
To succeed in public safety, the
government needs to build a partnership
with the business community.
Businesses and the government
will need to invest in surveillance in
public areas. I personally feel that
the government should use the new
nance bill while reading the budget
this June to remove all import duties
and taxes in security equipment and
parts. We should see the proliferation
of the security industry in the same
way motorbikes have impacted on
the transport sector. The Jubilee
government should also move fast to
ensure the National Assembly enacts
new laws or revises existing ones to
ght the aggressors. I dont understand
why the security chiefs are paying visits
to the chief justice; they should get
better laws in place instead. It may be
a good idea to also allow businesses to
claim back some investments in security
through taxes just as we did with ETR
machines.
Lastly, enforcement! Without our
police doing proper enforcement, all
other eorts are doomed to fail. Apart
from long and frustrating processes with
the investigation ocers, many times
the person reporting the crime is turned
into the investigator or even the hunted.
For his reason, many business owners
tend to shy away from reporting and
following up crimes against businesses
because it takes too much time of their
time and hardly bears fruit.

Dear Yvonne,
My name is Njuguna Karanja, a recent gradu-
ate from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agri-
culture and Technology (JKUAT).
However, I have a problem with the Higher
Education Loans Board (HELB).
I was a beneciary of HELB nancial assist-
ance while pursuing civil engineering course
since May 2002.
HELB gave me loan for the ve years it takes
to complete the programme. Unfortunately, I
had to put my studies on hold on various oc-
casions due to a myriad of problems. Some of
them include health, nances and bereave-
ment; I lost my mother in October 2007. As
a result, I deferred my studies. That is why I
graduated last year.
The nancier has been sending me electronic
statements and letters asking me to pay up and
at the same time updating me on the penalties
accrued due to delayed servicing of the loan.
After charging me a Sh5,000 penalty on
monthly basis for defaulting as well as interests,
the loan balance as at January this year stood at
Sh525,827.2.
Part of this is a Sh242,000 penalty while my
initial balance was stands at Sh204,266.5.
I have been seeking to get in touch with
HELB in vain. But the good news is that I am
now gainfully employed and I would like to
start repaying the loan. But before committing
my money, I would like to get clarication some
issues on the outstanding balance as a result of
the studies I deferred.
It is my opinion that I should only be penal-
ised as a recent graduate, that is, from 2013.
I can furnish you with all correspondence to
prove my case.
Thank you, Karanja, for lodging this
matter with us. It is also commendable
that you are seeking to repay your out-
standing loan balance especially now
that you have a job. It is important to en-
sure that those still in school also benet
from the scheme.
We sympathise with you for the un-
fortunate events you have had to go
through. We got in touch with the stu-
dents nancier and we thank HELB
team for its prompt response. They are
always eager to help.
In its reply, the organisation noted that
according to its records, you were sup-
posed to clear your studies in 2008.
All its charges are automated the sys-
tem therefore, its system automatically
picked up the penalties and other charges
since the time your loan matured.
HELB has asked us to request you to
visit its oces with copies of all your
academic transcripts, deferral and re-
admission letters from JKUAT for the
academic years you halted your studies
and your account will be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
According to the students nancier,
the graduation certicate alone is not
sucient because there are other issues
that HELB considers before a waiver can
be granted.
We urge you to visit its oces to fur-
ther direction. Kindly keep us posted on
the development of this case.
Dear Capital Letters, my name is Emmily
Mugasia.
I would like to thank you for the role you play
in the society by helping consumers. I have a
small problem is with Safaricom. I bought the
company shares in 2008. But unfortunately,
since I invested in the telcom company, I have
never received my dividend.
My eorts to contact Safaricom investment
unit have not been fruitful.
I would like to know what happened to my
dividend and how I can begin to receive them.
At the moment, I feel frustrated and I am even
contemplating selling my stake in the rm.
Please assist me get answers and thank you
in advance.
Hello Emily, thank you for getting in
touch with us on this matter. We appreci-
ate your kind words and for recognising
what we do for our readers.
It is commendable that you chose to
invest in shares. But it is unfortunate
that you have not received your dividend
to put a smile on your face for the invest-
ment you made six years ago.
We have been in communication with
Safaricom on this matter. The mobile
service provider is currently following
up your case with the relevant authori-
ties and will soon get back to you with
the way forward.
The rm has also apologised for any
inconvenience caused.

Kenyas top young women have tri-
umphed over obstacles in their careers
in tremendous ways.
The Business Dailys Top 40 Under
40 Women project awarded them last
week. Each received trophies for out-
standing work done in building the
economy.
An interview, the women said they
had to overcome corporate politics and
competition in male dominated envi-
ronments in order to succeed.
Panelists and award winners held
an inspiring talk aimed at encouraging
entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to
excellence, during an awards dinner
hosted at Safari Park Hotel.
Todays world wants achievers so
careers demand most from both men
and women. This is despite the fact
that women have to juggle between
housekeeping and succeeding in their
investments or career.
These women nonetheless learnt
the tricks early and have managed to
remain relevant, setting the pace for
others.
The initiative picked the 40 women
through nominations by their friends
and relatives.
Nation Media Group chief ex-
ecutive Linus Gitahi, Business Daily
managing editor Ochieng Rapuro and
Kenyatta University Vice-Chancellor
Professor Olive Mugenda were the
main speakers at the event.
The annual competition honours
women, appreciates professionalism
and helps them move to the next level
in their career.
Nothing gives us great pleasure to
see women from diverse backgrounds
countrywide feature in the competi-
tion, said Mr Gitahi, when you
become Top 40 Under 40 Women,
you become part of the Nation Media
Group family, we will therefore give you
support.
Mr Rapuro said the 40 women
represent Kenyas promise in the
corporate world, research, science,
the arts, theatre, professionalism and
entrepreneurs.
Professor Olive Mugenda encour-
aged Top 40 Under 40 Women nal-
ists to help build condence in women
startups from a tender age.
Women are very shy. Out of the 40
women, very few nominated them-
selves. We should encourage women to
stand up and be bold in their achieve-
ments, Prof Mugenda said.

RECOGNITION >> TOP 40 UNDER 40 IS AN ANNUAL COMPETITION HONOURS WOMEN, APPRECIATES PROFESSIONALISM AND HELPS THEM MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL IN THEIR CAREER
Ms Rehmat Sumra 27, director of
Aayat entrepreneurs Ltd
Ms Rehmat Sumra was introduced to business at the age of
13, and emerged one of the countrys youngest CEOs at 19.
Ms Sumra grew up to business, her mother managing Roma
Company Ltd, supplying scrap metal to milling rms. During
school holidays, I kept myself busy helping my mother to bal-
ance the books of accounts, she told Money.
On completing school in 2004, Ms Sumra enrolled for a
diploma in international commerce at the University of Toronto,
Canada only to return home soon after to manage the family
business when her mother suered stroke.
Within two months, she became CEO. Ms Sumra took on the
new challenge and introduced reforms. I introduced education
to the people in the sector through strengthening the Kenya
Iron and Scrap Metal Association. I cautioned on the dangers,
and legal implications of vandalism, consequently reducing the
rifts between dealers in the business and the management of
national rms such as Kenya Power, Telkom Kenya and Kenya
Railways, whose properties had suered vandalism.
Access to nance
Her input also saw the drafting of the Scrap Metal Act
2013. Ms Sumras proactive polices saw the turnover of the
company rise from Sh40 million a year to over Sh400 million.
She has expanded the rm to Kisumu and Mombasa, while
also graduating from the Catholic University with a degree in
political science with a bias in economics.
Last year, Ms Sumra partnered with her husband to open
Aayat Enterprises Ltd, a building and construction rm that aims
to empower the youth.
Constrains that she believes business startups experience in-
clude access to nance. However, she says, this could be tackled
by building relationships with banks and other lenders such as
the governments Uwezo Fund. If the business is not picking up,
seek alternative ventures, she notes.
Competition is another hurdle but she says nding a selling
point of your product can help as it makes the buyer identify
with the good and create a brand loyalty.
Kate Kibarah, 33, founder Kates
organics
Kate Kibarah passion in nutrition led to the creation of Kates
organics. Last year, she made it to the list of South Africas CEO
Magazines most inuential African women earning continental
recognition.
Ms Kibarah studied clinical nutrition at the Caroline Alston
Institute through correspondence before studying natural and
digestive health in the UK. She is now back in school taking alter-
native medicine.
Kates Organics oers a healthy lifestyle advisory service. Its
products are made from vitamin-rich leaves, owers, roots and
buds.
In her walk as a business woman, Ms Kibarah has faced several
constraints; the rst being how to successfully build her com-
pany. She did not want to incur a lot of expenses, therefore she
set targets and performance indicators to get a clear and precise
picture of her working capital and cash ow. By doing so, she
managed to eliminate wastage. It was also very dicult to cre-
ate her niche in a very competitive market dominated by global
brands. As she began the company, she lacked experience and
contacts on consumer information, knowledge and understand-
ing of organic foods, therefore she invested a lot on research to
enrich her understanding.
Christine Khasina Odero, 33,
founder of Supamamas
Supamamas is an event and marketing company that inspires,
informs and connects mothers with expert brands. Ms Odero
holds a bachelor of commerce degree from United States Inter-
national University and an MBA from Liverpool University.
Through her enterprise, Ms Odero was nominated by South
Africas CEO Magazine as one of the nalists in the Most Inuen-
tial Women In Business in Africa SME Category 2013, for which
she is currently a nalist again this year.
Supamamas has faced its fair share of challenges. For
instance, at its launch, the entrepreneur had limited funds.
However this has been alleviated by creating various revenue
streams. Apart from events, Supamamas generates income from
online advertising as well as from social media. The group also
carries out surveys on behalf of companies that target mothers.
Getting mentors to help nurture her business was also not
easy either. She overcame it by investing a lot in personal de-
velopment through books and online research. Being the only
person operating the business at that point, she was very vulner-
able and could easily burn out, but she thought it was normal to
sleep less and work for long hours. Quite often, her day used to
start at 4.30am. With time, she now has a routine that balances
both her personal life and professional life.
Mariam Mpaata, 36, founder of Watoto Soccer awards
Watoto soccer awards is an annual
awards event that celebrates soccer tal-
ent among children, connecting them
with their mentors and exposing them to
established football clubs.
Seven years ago, Ms Mpaata was a
stay-at-home mother, and clueless about
soccer. She had just relocated to Kenya
with her family from her home country
Uganda. This is because her husband
landed a good job with an international
rm.
The awards event was started on April
7, 2008, with ve balls; it was then called
Junior Stars Football Academy. To her
surprise, 15 boys from dierent schools
and backgrounds turned up for training
on the rst day and this gave her hope.
By the end of 2008, the team had grown
to 30.
In the start, Ms Mpaata could hardly
raise enough capital. She overcame this
by realising that the more she puts a
limit on it, the more it proved elusive.
So she turned to her savings bearing in
mind that even Rome was not built in
one day.
Ms Mpaata also lacked knowledge
in soccer. Starting up her venture was
inspired by her then seven-year-old son
Imran who could not keep his feet o
the ball. She tackled this by surround-
ing herself with experts. And today, she
believes that a successful entrepreneur
recognises the importance of delegating.

Kenya Airways
Captain Mutungi is famed for being the rst female pilot at
Kenya Airways and the rst woman to earn the title of captain
in Africa. She is also the rst pilot of the rst Kenyan Dreamliner,

Ms Mutungi is one of the nalists of Business Dailys Top 40
Under 40 Womens list. This marks the fourth time she is being
feted for excellence in a male-dominated area.
While climbing the ladder in her career, she has faced several
setbacks which she has successfully overcome.
She urges beginners in careers unoccupied by women,
whether businesses or formal employment to strive hard in order
to break the gender barrier.
Ms Mutungi challenges startups to come out of being tradi-
tional thinkers in general and convince their peers that they can
perform.
To her, she also believes that a successful journey needs prayer,
vision, letting go of what doesnt matter, persistence, sheer hard
work and determination.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PATRICK WAMEYO
Solid belief and a sound mind help create wealth
IN Verbalise your idea then go out and cre-
ate it, we looked at the place of translating
visions (read as faith) from a mind picture,
into a message conveying tangible outputs
and relationships through the art of goal
setting and taking action. We in particular
highlighted the place of developing
disciplined approaches to life on a day
to day basis because a years goal re-
quires 365 days of converted actions.
Indiscipline in this context would
be exemplied by inconsistent ac-
tions, sometimes carried out in the
eleventh hour of the year, and while
expect annual results equivalent of
output.
We mentioned that modern day
vision and mission statement is the
equivalent of the biblical faith, and that
all one need to succeed is to follow
faith by action.
The vision statement is a well thought
through expression of an idea in a manner that
the market can relate to through individual
needs. It expresses how you intend to relate
with the market through your products and
services and the specic problem you are set-
ting out to solve for society but it cannot by
itself translate into results. The role of the vi-
sion-mission is to direct attention to a problem
situation, and the solution in terms of products
and services and specically how they will be
delivered to meet the needs of the market.
Verbalising is basically making known to
the world your statement of intent and by
whose outputs you may be judged. Successful
individuals just like thriving companies make
known their life purpose to the world. This
has the eect of creating the expectations
pressure to perform from the customer side
and the desire to meet the push back pressure
without the option of an escape valve.
Wealth is not an accident or the money you
win from lottery. It is the nancial out comes
from an eort with or without money directly
invested, and whose ow persists beyond
generation. Inventors such as Thomas Edison
(practical electrical light), Alexander Graham
Bell (telephone) and Henry Ford (auto mobile)
among others, made wealth by creating in-
novations that met pressing needs of society,
through investing many hours investigating
beliefs not investing money. They all verbal-
ised what they were working at creating well
before they produced the nal results. For this
reason, I hold the view that a solid belief and
sound mind are essential for wealth creation.

Equity Bank, Safaricom and KCB:
Last week, Safaricom and KCB an-
nounced a partnership that will see
the two launch a one-stop platform
to meet the needs of SMEs. In the
deal, Safaricom and KCB customers
will benet from cloud software
management, domain hosting, SME
business tips, SME banking, loans,
insurance and online banking. Ac-
cording to Veronicah Nyongesa, a
research analyst at Investax Capi-
tal, the partnership is a strategy
initiated to counter Equity Banks
upcoming entry into the mobile
market through its Mobile Virtual
network Operator. Once Equity
Bank starts providing mobile phone
services, it will essentially have the
components of both a bank and a
mobile provider.
The coming together of Safari-
com and KCB is meant to achieve
the same status if not counter
Equitys new venture, she says.
Consequently, Ms Nyongesa views
the three counters as a gamble on
the bourse, the success of Equity,
KCB and Safaricoms shares will
to a large extent rely on how the
competition wars pan out. If Equity
is successful, its shareholders will
see the stock gain. On the other
hand, KCB may also move forward
fuelled by pressure from its rivals
performance.
On Monday, Equity opened at
Sh43.50 with a high of Sh45.50,

According to Ms Nyongesa, the
current surge is driven by the pros-
pects of making cash during the
bonus issue. Once these motives are
complete, the market may see inves-
tors try to cash in on their gains, she
notes, adding: investors may opt to
exit at the current highs before the
price retreats.

Two years ago, Emily
Wambua was chained by the
yoke of poverty. She could
hardly raise Sh50 a day to buy
food for her children. And she
was not alone in this suering.
Together with her neighbours
in Lukore village in Shimba
Hills, Kwale County, they lived
in squalor. They had nothing
for which to hope for.
The women relied on menial
jobs for income and their small
gardens could not yield much
because they didnt know any-
thing about fertiliser and high
yielding seeds to grow in their
farms.
However, when Money vis-
ited Ms Wambua last week, she
could aord a smile thanks to
the training she has received
from the German Foundation
for World Population (DSW).
Together with 18 other
women, the organisation has
been training them on best
farming practices as well as
entrepreneurship skills. The
organisation bought four bulls,
a plough, chain and yoke for
her team Mavunde Women
Group. And now the women
are making huge strides in
their quest to say goodbye to
poverty.
Seven other women groups
in Kwale and eight others in
Kili County are also basking
in new found wealth in various
small-scale businesses; Junju
women group is determined to
succeed in dairy farming, Im-
ara team is realising success in
cake and jam processing busi-
ness, Sombeza has banked on
goat rearing, Kiwingu is sell-
ing African-themed clothes, to
name but a few after sharpen-
ing their entrepreneurship
skills.
Life was very tough for us
before. Cultivating land for our
food was hard. None of us had
bulls but after DSW came in,
we are doing well. Our children
are in school and each group
member has a daily income of
not less than Sh400.
We had to assist one an-
other in digging manually and
an acre of land could take us al-
most a month to complete, Ms
Wambua said as she pointed at
her maize plantation.
With the ox-drawn plough,
all members are able to have
their land cultivated in a
weeks time, she adds.
DSWs George Ouma notes
that the level of poverty among
residents of Shimba Hills is
worrying.
Literacy levels were so low.
On average, in every house-
hold, the head of the family
was a class ve or six primary
school dropout. Many school-
age girls were pregnant and
others are mothers.
They had no knowledge
about family planning. They
had no idea on how they
could ever get out of poverty,
he said.
The families lacked knowl-
edge. We organised them in
groups, empowered them with
skills and supported them to
start income generating ven-
tures, Mr Ouma said.
Mr Ouma says that they
then facilitated trainers from
the Ministry of Agriculture,
Trade, International Labour
Organisation, Women Enter-
prise Fund, Youth Enterprise
Fund and Equity Bank to train
them.
The Ministry of Trade was
critical in showing them how
to grow their market while
ocers from the ministry of
Agriculture trained them how
to use ox-drawn plough, he
explained.
Equity Bank came in handy
in helping the women to open
bank accounts, budget and
start saving their proceeds,
he noted.

It is a couple of months since
public service vehicles started
using digital speed governors.
And businessman David
Njoroge, the proprietor of Dal-
com Kenya Limited, a rm that
invented Omata speed limiters is
happy that the number of people
who lose lives through road acci-
dent as a result of over speeding
has dropped signicantly.
He says that he is even happier
that he has created employment
opportunities for many Kenyans
both directly and indirectly. And
the future looks bright.
Its rare for our customers to
complain about the eectiveness
of our gadgets. But there are at-
tempts by some rogue mechanics
to tamper with it. Our gadgets
are tamper proof and in case one
tries to, they cant work in your
favour, Mr Njoroge notes.
Once your vehicle is with-
drawn by the authorities from
the road for installing sub-stand-
ard gadget, you will be required
to spend more cash on genuine
one, he adds.
According to him, a big per-
centage of matatu owners have
adhered to the governments di-
rective to install speed governors
though some heavy commercial
vehicles are yet to do so.
Car track devices
Despite his innovation, Mr
Njoroge has faced sti compe-
tition in the business. And that
is not all since some unscrupu-
lous traders have introduced
fake gadgets in the market, he
claims.
It got me by surprise that some
individuals with urge to make
quick money joined the business.
I suspect some of them could be
using car tracking devices claim-
ing to be speed limiters, he says.
Of particular interest, he says, is
how fast some companies devel-
oped their products and managed
to gain entry in the market while
it took him two years to research
before assembling Omata speed
limiter.
But he claims to have an
answer to the challenge: I am
working day and night to im-
prove on my gadget which will
replace the current one in four
years, adds Mr Njoroge.
The price for Omata speed lim-
iters ranges between Sh30,000
and 35,000. Since the beginning
of the business, Mr Njoroge has
so far employed 30 sta mem-
bers hired on monthly basis and
about 100 agents in all 47 coun-
ties. The entrepreneur says that
his next frontier is to produce
locally instead of contracting
manufactures in China for mass
production if the equipment.
Conduct clinics
I am determined to win in
this business and that is why I
want to oer the best services
to my customers. I urge the
government to start withdrawing
vehicles with fake speed limiters
from the roads, he says.
He says that in order to get a
feeling from all of his customers
countrywide, he will be conduct-
ing clinics for his agents to get
to know what his customers
think about the device. On his
additional list of products will
be road side cameras. I hope to
employ about 500 personnel in
future once I start producing lo-
cally, Mr Njoroge says.

In 2003, Ashok Patel came
to Kenya with deep interest in
the cotton industry. India his
home country was not oering
much in terms of business for his
ventures.
While scouting for greener pas-
tures in the country, Mr Patel had
with himself a degree in chemical
engineering from the University
of Sardar Patel in India and some
little money to keep him going.
Eleven years down the line, Mr
Patel has a dierent story to tell.
Kridha, a waste water treatment
company which he established
has an annual turnover of Sh70
million. It is based in Nairobis
Industrial Area.
Mr Patel told Money that he
toiled and moiled on his arrival
to Kenya as he scouted for an in-
vestment that would bring good
returns.
Back then, I was enthusiastic
about the cotton industry but it
did not bear fruits, I then started
as a consultant in the waste water
treatment eld which had poten-
tial, said Mr Patel.
Alongside his friend Suresh
Patel who has since left the
company, they started a consul-
tancy rm at a humble oce in
industrial area, with only one
room. Now their oce boasts of
a laboratory and sta oces.
We had no capital so we were
barely surviving but our focus
was on growing the business,
the business would then generate
Sh5 million in a month and we
could keep aside Sh3 million, Mr
Patel said, adding: the money
we saved is what we cumulatively
used to buy equipment for waste
water treatment.
Goldmine
In this rare trade of waste
water treatment, Mr Patel saw a
goldmine that has brought great
rewards in his life.
From groundwork research,
in 2003, there was a gap of Sh16
billion on waste water treat-
ment, said Mr Patel. No one
thought recycling waste water
would bring forth returns, but I
thought so.
To date, Kridha has installed
over 110 treatment plants in East
Africa. The company currently
recycles over two million litres
of waste water in a day. The re-
cycled water is used in irrigation,
washing clothes, ashing toilets;
it is also largely re-used in indus-
trial processes.
The company conducts stud-
ies for factories that need com-
prehensive data on waste water
treatment. If taken seriously,
Kenya could save Sh200,000 a
day by using recycled water, Mr
Patel said.
The waste water expert says
there is a potential in industrial
waste water where over 4,000 in-
dustries in Kenya do not recycle
water; he also sees a great poten-
tial in the domestic waste water
segment where only a maximum
of 400 homes have a waste water
treatment plant.
Mr Patel noted that Kenya pro-
duces 300 million sewers alone
as waste water and this could be
recycled for irrigation.
Highly rated
As a business person, I see
money in waste, especially in this
industry, other investors should
also not shy away from thriving
in their businesses, hard work
brings forth rewards, Mr Patel
said.
Last week Kridha is one of the
Kenyan waste water companies
that were highly rated by German
investors who were scouting for
partnerships in the waste water
industry.
We are now looking at part-
nering with German companies
such as Ribeka, Intewa and
Bioclean who showed deep in-
terests in providing technology
and equipment in waste water to
Kenya, Mr Patel noted.
Kridha has provided employ-
ment to many Kenyans who work
as consultants, engineers and ac-
countants all over the region.
We clocked our 10 years in
Kenya on July 10, as we celebrate
our anniversary, we are happy
that the humble idea turned into
a blessing, Mr Patel notes.
Ashok Patel now manages a water
treatment company worth Sh70
million which he has been building
since 2003

Please describe the underwriting fac-
tors considered when taking up cover
for a standard re policy.
Leah M. Nairobi.

To put all readers on the same level,
let me start by noting that underwriting
factors are those aspects of the subject
matter of insurance that aect the
claims experience. For buildings, which
are covered by the standard re policy,
there are a large number of underwrit-
ing factors but the most important are
construction and use.
In household cover, when you own a
house and desire to insure it, insurers
are mainly concerned with the fabric of
the property. This relates to the bricks
and mortar. Houses not built of stone,
brick or concrete and those not roofed
with slates, tiles, metal or concrete rep-
resent an extra hazard and could either
be rejected for insurance or be charged
a higher premium.
In addition to covering the structure
itself, house insurance will include the
xtures and ttings baths, tted
cupboards, and wardrobes, the kitchen
sink to name but a few. In this context,
it is wise to remember that whilst the
internal decorations such as paint and
wallpaper will be included, the curtains
are not considered part of the structure
as they are soft furnishings. This is a
particularly important area for you to
consider if your home is an upstairs
apartment.
Everything within the property
boundaries will be covered by the
domestic package policy, including
the gates, drives, perimeter wall, any
greenhouses, outbuildings and garage.
The main services to the property such
as electricity and water pipes will be
covered as long as they are within the
property boundary. But you will need to
remember that the water in your water
heater tank is considered as a content.
In industrial and commercial re busi-
ness, buildings are classied by their
use, for example, garage, oce, saw-
mill, brewery, hotel, shop or warehouse
(for which the nature of the goods
stored therein would be relevant).
Other underwriting factors to be taken
into account include, the method of
construction, the existence of safety
features such as re-stop walls or sprin-
kler systems, the number of oors and
their area, and the methods of heating/
cooling and lighting.
It is to be noted that in commercial
business cover, the risks are much more
complicated. The degree of complexity
of the underwriting required will vary
with the size of the risk as commercial
insurances range from small shops and
factories to multinationals. However,
certain basic principles are still recog-
nisable, the physical characteristics of
the risk as described above being one
aspect. The other factors always con-
sidered are the location of the property
and an assessment of the moral hazard.
Location is an important factor in re
insurance because of, for instance, ac-
cess to re brigade service and neigh-
bourhood risks (a rst class construc-
tion in a slum area may not qualify for
cover because of its location). Thus, an
insurer may decide not to insure build-
ings in certain localities.
As for moral hazard, which attaches
to the attitude of the insured, an insurer
will want to forestall claims that may
emanate from, say, arson, dishonesty or
carelessness of the insured.
Finally, a word of re insurance rating:
the rate of premium is directly related
to the degree of hazard and will take
account of trade classication, dif-
ferentiation of individual risks within a
specied grouping having regard to the
particular features present in the risk,
and loss experience within a given class
over a period of years.
