T
ension was building up in parts of
the country yesterday as Monday
drew closer. This is the day set for
the Saba Saba rally called by Cord to push
the government to accept talks.
In Naivasha, some families ed their
homes fearing for their safety after hate
leaets were circulated in the town.
And in Kisumu, where Cord is to hold a
meeting on Saturday, business people were
apprehensive and said they would not stock
up for the weekend shopping.
In Nairobi, the two main political coali-
tions Cord and Jubilee have claimed
the same venue, Uhuru Park, for their re-
spective rallies on Monday even as police
announced they would provide security for
all political gatherings.
But they asked the organisers of any
political rallies to ensure those in attend-
ance obeyed the law.
Cord, meanwhile, disowned an all-party
grouping in Parliament, the Inter-party Po-
litical Caucus, formed by MPs to spearhead
talks in the House.
In another development, Catholic bish-
ops met President Uhuru Kenyatta at State
House Nairobi and called on Christians to
set Sunday aside as a special day of prayers
for peace, unity and prosperity.
Cord has been pushing for national
dialogue that would focus on security,
ethnicity, devolution, corruption and dis-
bandment of the Independent Electoral
and Boundaries Commission.
Jubilee on the other hand believes that
the push is an attempt to grab power
through the back door. Its leaders insist
that issues can be discussed within consti-
tutional institutions, especially Parliament,
a suggestion Cord has rejected.
Yesterday, Kisumu traders expressed
discomfort over the rally planned there
for the weekend.
Traders who spoke to the Nation said
they were reluctant to add stocks in their
shops because they were uncertain of the
aftermath of the Saba Saba rallies which
are expected to culminate in Nairobi on
Monday.
Fresh in their minds was the devastation
and looting that the town suered in 2007-
2008 during the post-election violence.
The business people asked Cord to
consider the consequences of the dem-
onstrations on businesses in the town.
Mr Alibhai Begum said: We are afraid
the issues going on here have similarities to
those witnessed before when people looted
property. The sentiments were shared by
Mr Dejav Shah, a wholesaler who said he
was only considering the most basic com-
modities to maintain his stock.
It is unfortunate that politicians have
decided to hold businesses hostage with
the unclear signals that they send to us,
said Mr Shah.
However, MPs Ken Obura (Kisumu
Central), Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja) and
Kisumu county ODM chairman Dave
Okwatch told the Nation separately that
the rallies would be safe.
Mr Obura said Kisumu was the safest
town in the country for business and that
leaders would not wish to interfere with
anyone regardless of their political ali-
ations.
Chairman of the National Chamber
of Commerce, Kisumu chapter, Mr Ben
Odhiambo Kitoto, urged politicians to
preach peace since the same youth who
might engage in violence would lose their
jobs if businesses that employ them were
destroyed.

In Nakuru, County Commissioner Mo-
hamed Birik assured residents of their
security despite the growing tension after
leaets were circulated in some areas.
Mr Birik told the Nation by telephone
that security had been beefed up in Na-
ivasha and Nakuru towns, where some of
the leaets were dropped.
We are on top of things and have in-
creased surveillance in hot spot areas and
places where the leaets were dropped.
The administrator warned those spread-
ing rumours of an impending attack that
the government would soon catch up with
them.
He said security personnel had been de-
ployed across the county ahead of the Saba
Saba rally called by Cord on Monday.
Those leaving said they would not take
chances given the events of the 2008 and
the circulated leaets.
I am planning to leave today (yesterday)
following the growing tension and the un-
certainty of the Monday events, a resident
told the Nation.
But Mr Birik said there was absolutely
no reason for the residents to ee, adding
that they were only victims of bad and
dangerous rumours.
He called on those feeling threatened to
get in touch with the security agents and
report the matter.
We have enjoyed relative calm despite
the hate leaets having being circulated,
he said.
According to him, 18 people had been
arrested in Naivasha, including two found
circulating hate leaets.
Traders in the Naivasha open air market
have also shelved plans to bring fresh farm
produce over the planned rally, adopting a
wait-and-see attitude.

Meeting should be peaceful, say Kenyans
THEIR TAKE | Some support the move but others think it is a bad idea
Opinion among citizens
is split, with those
supporting the rally
saying there should be

BY NATION REPORTER
T
he planned Saba Saba rally
convened by the Opposition
has generated considerable
debate even as its convenors seek
police protection while assuring
Kenyans that it will be peaceful.
Cord leader Raila Odinga says
that the rally was in response to
the governments refusal to discuss
insecurity, corruption, tribalism in
the appointments to public service,
economic problems, the presence of
KDF in Somalia, and the fate of the
Independent Electoral and Bounda-
ries Commission.
On the other hand, the government
has maintained that such dialogue
can be held through institutions such
as Parliament. It has maintained that
it was validly elected and therefore
does not need Cord to tell it how it
should govern the country. To this,
Cord has been saying that certain
issues are too important to be left to
Parliament, which rarely outgrows
partisan politics.
On Jamhuri Day, President Uhuru
Kenyatta said he was not averse to
dialogue but later objected to the
threat by Cord that failure to hold
talks would leave the opposition with
no alternative but to mobilise Kenyans
for the Saba-Saba rally.
Saba Saba refers to an attempt
by the nascent Opposition to hold a
political rally July 7, 1990 at the Ka-
mukunji Grounds to push for an end
to Kanus single party dictatorship.
On that day, police sealed o the
venue and restricted some of the
Opposition doyens in their homes.
However, James Orengo, Martin
Shikuku, Masinde Muliro, and other
crusaders for a multi-party political
system managed to drive round in a
vehicle calling out people to attend the
rally which did not happen because
police had formed a phalanx around
the venue.
Dickson Mutaru, com-
mercial agent: I will
go to work as usual. We
should be focusing on
building our country now
Mariam Omar, hotelier:
They have a right to go
to the streets. Those op-
posing should read the

will be at Uhuru park rally.

Saba rally so long as it is

man: I dont support the

agree to dialogue since

should learn to love one
another. In whose interest
will Cord be holding the
rallies?

support Saba Saba rally.

ances

Police have given the green light
for Saba Saba rallies and assured
city residents of security.
However, the Inspector Gen-
eral of Police David Kimaiyo said
organisers of the rallies should
ensure law and order was main-
tained at the venues.
He also ordered county and
divisional police commanders
countrywide to enhance security
in their areas.
All parties are free to hold po-
litical rallies provided they follow
the laid down procedures. We have
put in place security measures to
ensure that the rallies will be con-
ducted safely, said Mr Kimaiyo.
Guidelines
Cord leader Raila Odinga called
for the rally to push for national
dialogue. The President said his
government was not opposed to
the dialogue provided it was done
through institutions established by
the Constitution.
Mr Kimaiyo said conveners
would be given guidelines on how
to conduct the rallies.
We shall show them how to
coordinate their aairs without
causing scare, tension and annoy-
ance to other people, he said.
At the same time, police are
investigating reports that certain
political leaders were planning
to cause violence after the Saba
Saba rallies.
We are counter-checking the
information as we cannot ignore
anything from the public. If the
allegations are true, those leaders
behind it will be arrested and pros-
ecuted, said Mr Kimaiyo.

A
showdown looms between
Cord and Jubilee over the
venue for their July 7 meetings
after both claimed they had booked
Uhuru Park.
Police spokesman Masoud Mwinyi
conrmed that both coalitions had
applied for the same venue for use
on the same day and that a decision
was yet to be made.
Both parties have applied for use
of Uhuru Park and we are currently
negotiating so that the matter is
resolved amicably, he told the Na-
tion yesterday after Cord senators
James Orengo (Siaya) and John-
stone Muthama (Machakos) met
Inspector-General of Police David
Kimaiyo.
The two told reporters outside the
Inspector-Generals oce in Nairobi
that they would hold their Saba Saba
rally at Uhuru Park and that they had
the governments blessings.
We have had a very fruitful
meeting with the IG regarding the
ongoing rallies and the culmination
of the Cord meetings to be held at
the Uhuru Park on Monday, July 7.
Our lengthy meeting centred on
security for the Monday meeting and
we have been assured of maximum
security to ensure that the rally is
successful, said Mr Muthama.
The senator said they were not
aware of any parallel meeting
scheduled on the same day and if
there was any, Mr Kimaiyo would
have told us.
Mr Orengo urged Kenyans to turn
up for the rally to discuss issues af-
fecting them.
He said Mr Kimaiyo had assigned
Nairobi Police Commander Benson
Kibue to arrange with them security
requirements for the meeting.
I would like to assure our support-
ers that we have the assurance of none
other than the Inspector-General of
Police of the Republic of Kenya on
this rally.
The fact that the government has
given us the green light and even
guaranteed us maximum security is
an indication that our Constitution is
highly appreciated because Kenyans
have the freedom to hold meetings.
He said Kenyans were mature and
would identify solutions to their
problems.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church has
set aside Sunday for special prayers
for peace.
A letter signed by the Kenya Con-
ference of Catholic Bishops chairman
John Cardinal Njue urged Kenyans to

A
move by some MPs
to spearhead national
talks has received a cold
reception across the political
divide with suspicions about its
intentions.
The Inter-Party Parliamentary
Caucus fronting the initiative,
however, held its rst meeting
yesterday even as both Cord
and Jubilee members dissoci-
ated themselves from the process
meant to cool down political tem-
peratures.
Slightly over 50 National As-
sembly members attended the
inaugural meeting at County
Hall, Nairobi, yesterday where
they elected a 25-member com-
mittee to steer the talks focusing
on national security, ethnicity,
devolution, corruption and the
electoral commission.
Mounted the process
Members were picked from
Jubilee and Cord12 from each
coalition. Rev Mutava Musyimi,
who chairs the Budget and Ap-
propriations Committee, and who
mounted the process, was picked
as the interim chairman with
Cords Wilbur Ottichilo (Emuhaya
MP) as the vice-chairman.
The steering committee will
be expanded to 33 to accommo-
date senators. Although it is the
rst time rival MPs are coming
together to discuss issues, the
idea was met with hostility.
Sources confided that Cord
demanded that its members in
the committee be cleared by the
leadership and there was signs of
an internal clash within Jubilee.
Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi
(ODM) said he would not be party
to the talks, dismissing the move
as an initiative doomed to fail.
The lawmaker claimed that
there was a hidden agenda be-
hind the initiative.
There is no sincerity in those
who are fronting it. When you look
at it critically, you see a hidden
hand; in my view, it is basically a
time-buying gimmick, he said.
Majority Leader Aden Duale, on
the other hand, said that while he
had no problem with the caucus,
the Jubilee leadership would not
be party to the discussions.
He, however, said that Jubilee
MPs were free to attend in their
individuals capacities.
This is just like any other cau-
cus and for us to be involved as a
coalition, it has to be discussed
by the Parliamentary Group and
cleared by our leader. Our mem-
bers are free to attend, but it is
not binding, he said.
It also emerged that the Jubilee
leadership resolved at a meeting
earlier yesterday that the caucus
would not have the support of the
ruling coalition.
Decision made
The decision was made by Mr
Duale, his Senate counterpart
Kithure Kindiki, Charles Keter
(Senate Deputy Majority Whip),
National Assembly Majority Whip
Katoo ole Metito and Senate Ma-
jority Whip Mike Sonko.
We have agreed that anything
we do will be through the struc-
tures of the coalition, and that
is the Parliamentary Group, the
Majority Leader said.
The IPPC Steering Committee
will hold its rst meeting today to
plan the structure of the caucus
engagement with the civil society,
the private sector and inter-faith
groups.
In a brief after the meeting yes-
terday, Mr Musyimi said room had
been created for eight senators,
one picked to represent each of
the former eight provinces.
A lot of goodwill
He said the caucus would also
work with established constitu-
tional institutions and relevant
parliamentary committees to
push for solutions to the identi-
ed areas of concern.
The task at hand is not easy
but we have to act to save this
country, he said.
Sources, however, indicated
that Cord members at the meeting
were categorical that the develop-
ment did not in any way mean that
the planned Saba Saba rally on
Monday would not go on.
Cord MP Isaac Mwaura said
there was a lot of goodwill to the
process.
It is time we engaged because
this country is bigger than Raila
and Uhuru, he said.

MPs have backed a proposal
by the House Health committee
to have the management of level
four and ve hospitals reverted to

The legislators argued that most
county governments cannot handle

If the proposals in a report by
the committee are implemented,
devolution of healthcare will be
partially reversed, with money
allocated to counties for that
purpose returned to the national
government.
Transfer function
The committee recommends
that, in accordance with Article 187
of the Constitution, the national
and the county governments ur-
gently enter into agreements with a
view to transferring specic health
functions to the national govern-
ment, including but not limited to
Level Four and Five health facili-
ties, the report reads.
The committee asked the

functions.

M
Ps have demanded
immediate suspen-
sion of the Sh43
billion pipeline upgrade
project awarded to an inter-
national company over alleged
irregularities.
Both the Public Invest-
ments Committee and the
Energy Committee claim the
management of the Kenya
Pipeline Company (KPC)
was involved in anomalies
in the award of the project to
Zakhem International Con-
struction Ltd to rehabilitate
the 450km Mombasa Nairobi
pipeline.
KPC signed the tender con-
tract with Zakhem on Tuesday
after the High Court and the
Public Procurement Oversight
Authority cleared it from alle-
gations of malpractice in the
award of the tender.
But MPs have demanded
that the project be stopped to
allow investigations by the two
parliamentary teams.
KPCs management is
also on the spot for allegedly
snubbing invitations to attend
inquiry meetings with the two
committees.
The managing director, Mr
Charles Tanui has failed to
honour seven invitations from
PIC and three invitations from
the Energy committee on the
project and related issues.
The committee chairmen,
speaking separately yester-
day, said their teams have
been very kind and too leni-
ent with the management on
invitations to appear for
questioning.
PIC chairman Adan Key-
nan (left) said KPC has been
acknowledging receipt of in-
vitations but giving imsy
excuses for not being able
to attend.
Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa
said the committee might be
forced to summon the MD and
his managerial team to appear
before it. KPC is holding not
just this committee but the en-
tire Parliament in contempt
and we might be forced to take
action, he said.
Funyula MP Paul Otuoma
said the committee must
move with speed to stop any
activities the company may be
involved in at the moment.
It is obvious they intend to
do some things before show-
ing up before this committee
so as to circumvent the inves-
tigative process, he said.

T
wo chiefs from Man-
dera have disowned
immigration docu-
ments used to clear four
men accused in the Westgate
Mall attack to obtain Kenyan
identity cards.
Minutes presented in the
trial show that Mr Ali Moham-
med Hassan and Mr Ibrahim
Hussein Mahat participated
in a vetting committee that
approved the four to be issued
with the IDs.
However, the chiefs, who
gave evidence in court yes-
terday, said they did not take
part in such a vetting.
They are prosecution wit-
nesses in a case in which Mr
Hussein Hassan Mustafata,
Mr Aden Dheq, Mr Liban Ab-
diraham and Mr Mohammed
Ahmed Abdi are on trial for
charges relating to the attack
on Nairobis Westgate Mall on
September 21, last year.
The prosecutions case is
that the four men obtained
Kenyan identication docu-
ments fraudulently.
The chiefs denied that they
were part of a meeting held
on August 20, 2007, that al-
lowed 129 people, including
the suspects, to be issued with
identity cards.
They told a trial court in
Nairobi yesterday that a meet-
ing between representatives
of the NIS, the CID, chiefs
and village elders convened
for the vetting never took
place contrary to what
the immigration minutes
claimed.
The rubber stamp impres-
sion is also not the one I use
and it is fraudulently made,
said Mr Hussein.
And Mr Mohammed told
the court that the minutes
were not signed by the vet-
ting committee members
as required. I also do not
know the elders listed in the
minutes.
They further stated that
they had never seen the
four terror suspects, and
neither had they met them
during vetting sessions that
they conducted in Mandera
County.
They said they saw the
minutes in question for the
first time when they were
summoned to conrm if they
had ever seen them.
Hearing continues.

Transport Cabinet Secretary
Michael Kamau has lost a bid to
block a contempt of court case
against him in connection with new
regulations he recently published
for the industry.
Mr Justice George Odunga yes-
terday said enough grounds for
the lawsuit had been laid against
him by the Country Bus Owners
Association.
The bus owners wanted Mr
Kamau, the trac commandant
and director of the National Trans-
port and Safety Authority jailed for
six months for disobeying a court
order nullifying the new rules.
Press conference
On May 21, Mr Kamau called a
press conference and said he was
not aware of a court ruling against
the new regulations.
The bus owners then moved to
court to cite him for contempt, say-
ing his stance was clearly meant
to harass and stop us from carrying
out our legitimate business.
There was proof of truncated
journeys as evidenced in sworn
adavits before the court ... it is
saddening that entities entrusted
with policy making have not seen
the urgency of upholding the rule of
law, Justice Odunga said in a terse
ruling yesterday. He said the case
would go on to its conclusion.

T
he pilot of a cargo plane that
crashed in Nairobi yesterday,
killing him and three others,
made a distress call moments before
it plunged into a building.
Preliminary investigations showed
that Mr Harrison Okanga called the
control tower seeking clearance to
transmit, but did not utter any
other word after he was given the
go-ahead.
Instead, the plane changed course
and investigators believe the pilot
was attempting to make an emer-
gency landing on a straight stretch
on the Eastern bypass before it hit
electricity lines, then the building
before bursting into ames.
The Fokker 50, registration 5Y-CET,
crashed at Utawala near the General
Service Unit Training School at
4.17am, just two minutes after taking
o from the Jomo Kenyatta Interna-
tional Airport.
It split into two on impact, with the
ames leaving most of it completely
destroyed.
Co-pilot Sayid Abdi, ight engineer
Kevin Kamau and loader Georey
Masika perished.
Mr Okanga, a father of ve, is a
veteran ier who retired from the
Kenya Air Force in 1994 as a captain.
He joined the Kenya Wildlife Service
before he started ying for commer-
cial airlines ferrying both passengers
and goods across the region.
He rst worked for Eagle Aviation,
then Bluebird Airlines before joining
Skyworld. He was experienced on the
Nairobi-Mogadishu route as he had
own on it for many years.
Investigators will further ex-
amine the planes voice recorder
and black box recovered from the
wreckage.
According to a security official
privy to the investigations, the plane
failed to gain height after take-o. In-
vestigators suspect this was because
it was overloaded.
The plane was ying to Mogadishu,
Somalia, to deliver a consignment
of miraa. A night guard, Mr James
Mageto, was admitted to Mama Lucy
Kibaki Hospital after he sustained
burns at the scene.
His colleague, Mr Martin Ndolo,
was injured on both wrists when he
fell as he ran from the scene where
the plane exploded, sending reballs
in the air.
I was going down the staircase
when I saw the plane approaching.
It was swinging from side to side in
the air before it hit the power lines.
There were sparks, then a loud bang
as it hit the building and exploded,
he said.
The scene was littered with miraa
and merchandise from the building
that was extensively damaged after
the re swept through several shops.
Fire ghters from JKIA arrived after
a short time and helped put out the
blaze.
It took several hours for the team
of GSU ocers, the JKIA rescue and
recovery team and St John Ambulance
to retrieve three of the bodies as they
had been trapped in the building on
which the plane crashed.
Relatives of the dead crew mem-
bers broke down on seeing the
bodies which were later taken to a
city mortuary.
Mr Daniel Kimani, the owner of
the building, said he was sure the
cost of the destruction will run into
millions of shillings. All we want is
compensation, he said.
According to him, some of the
shops completely destroyed were
Bata Shoe, a restaurant, and an auto
spares shop.
Yesterday, Transport Cabinet Sec-
retary Michael Kamau said thorough
investigations would be conducted by

Department to unearth what caused

K
enyans are not ready to
support abortion and
homosexuality despite
the pressure from the Western
world, a new survey released
yesterday shows.
The West has even been
threatening to stop economic
aid to African countries that
fail to respect the rights of
gays and their marriages.
The study titled Percep-
tion Towards Abortion and
Homosexuality in Kenya is
a clear testimony that gay-
ism remains an uncommon
practice in Kenya.
Some 93 per cent of 2,059
people interviewed across
the country said they did not
know any gay person and that
homosexuality should not be
legalised while those who have
come out of the closet should
be prosecuted.
According to the study,
active homosexual practice
mainly happens in urban
areas among the youth aged
between 18-24 years.
The survey was carried out
by Ipsos Kenya on behalf of
Kenya Christian Professionals
Forum (KCPF) after it ex-
pressed concern over raising
cases of abortion and homo-
sexuality in the country.
Interestingly, 87 per cent
of the people interviewed
said they did not support
abortion.
However, the survey showed
that some women are choosing
to terminate their pregnancies
to pursue careers.
At least 43 per cent of those
who supported abortion said
that it was a better option if
the woman or the couple were
not ready for a child as they
pursued their careers or other
interests.
From the findings, nine
per cent of the interviewees
supported abortion while ve
per cent specied that it was
only necessary if the life of
the mother was in danger as
stated in the law.
There is need for Kenyan
employers to take serious
note that there is growing
need for exibility of working
conditions for women, so as to
allow them to choose to have
family and at the same time
have a career, Ms Margaret
Ireri, the managing director of
Ipsos told the audience at All
Saints Cathedral in Nairobi.
Private clinics
The survey further showed
that abortion is mainly pro-
cured in private clinics and not
by quacks in the backstreet.
The doctors who help
terminate pregnancies were
condemned during the release
of the report.
Abortion, the Christian fo-
rums chairperson, Ms Ann
Mbugua, said had become a
big concern in the Christian
community.
Ms Mbugua said most of
the abortions take place in
urban areas where many
poor women view it as a bur-
den to carry a pregnancy for
nine months.
We must look for social
solutions to this problem by
asking ourselves: What do
we do as parents to prevent
this? Ms Mbugua posed as
she asked the Church and the
government to act.
Kenyans shun West
push to back gayism
SURVEY | Study into the publics perception of homosexuality
Most interviewees
say homosexuality
should not be
legalised and
propose prosecution
The Christian profession-
als forum, she said, had been
forced to start rescue centres
for women as a solution to the
abortion problem.
We have already rescued 40
girls who are pregnant and we
are providing them with shelter
to allow them carry their preg-
nancies to term, the chairperson
said.
She said the organisation de-
cided to have the study carried
out to seek solutions to the two
problems of homosexuality and
abortion.
Dr Wahome Ngari, a member
of the forum, said it had been
established that, abortion not
only aects the health of the
woman, but also affects her
psychological wellbeing.
The survey was conducted
by Ipsos Kenya on behalf of
Kenya Christian Profession-
als Forum.
The target population was
Kenyans aged 18 years and
above while the sample
size was 2,059 respond-
ents living in both urban
and rural areas across the
country.
The survey was conducted
between April 28 and May
7, 2014.
Data was collected through

universities and middle level
colleges scrapped.
Commission for University
Education (CUE) secretary
David Some (right) said the
new Revised University Stand-
ards and Guidelines require
that a campus be the lowest
unit of any local university.
According to the guidelines,
a campus shall be located in fa-

and shall meet the standard of
physical facilities for the stu-
dent population.
According to the law,
universities can only have a
campus as the lowest unit of
teaching; there is nothing like
collaboration, he said.
Prof Some said the CUE
had written to all universities
to provide details on their
campuses for inspection.
The new rules mean institu-
tions that only collaborate with
universities but are not their
campuses face closure and cer-
ticates of students qualifying
from such institutions will not
recognised.
The rules allow constituent
colleges that are created by
mentoring universities and
which will have approved aca-
demic programmes, teaching
sta, exams and regulations.
A constituent college shall
have a governing council that
is independent from that of the
mentoring university, read the

dents seeking to study abroad,

Director of Public Prosecu-

the fate of a peasant farmer
accused of killing his mother to
be decided by the President.
Mr Tobiko told judge Rose-

Ngugi Mwangi cannot follow

mental status.
He said under Section 162
of the Criminal Procedure
Code, when a suspect cannot
follow proceedings due to a
psychiatric condition, the
case is usually referred to the
President to decide where the
accused should be detained.
Mr Mwangi, 35, had been
put on his defence by Justice
Muga Apondi in 2010 for al-
legedly killing his 57-year-old
mother, Ms Teresia Njeri
Mwangi, but was diagnosed to
have a mental condition, state

said for the DPP.
Did not oppose
Ms Mwaniki said that be-
cause Mr Mwangi is unable to
follow proceedings against him
the only option is to order that
the suspect be detained at a
mental hospital pending direc-
tions from the President.
Defence counsel Solomon
Wamwayi said he did not op-
pose the proposal. He said the
law stipulates that the case le
be handed over to the Internal
Aairs minister for transmis-
sion to the President after
recommendations by the trial
judge based on the doctors
report.

P
resident Kenyatta might have
been misled into commis-
sioning the one million-acre
Galana-Kulalu irrigation scheme
before its viability could be estab-
lished.
National Irrigation Board boss Dan-
iel Baraza told the Public Investments
Committee that the feasibility report
from three consultancy companies
was yet to be handed to the board.
The board had committed Sh920
million for the consultants, but be-
cause the amount had not been paid,
the nal report was withheld, the chief
executive ocer said.
When the President launched the
pilot project in January, the report
wasnt complete, Mr Baraza said.
The consultants are a consortium
of Agri-Green of Israel and two local
rms Amiran and Enviro-plan. They
gave their nal report on April 30.
Commitee vice-chairman Kimani
Ichungwa said it would be dicult
to have a million acres under ir-
rigation by 2017, one of the Jubilee
Coalitions pledges in its manifesto
on food supply.
Mr Baraza said he was not the one
who invited the President but insisted
there had been progress.
When he came, the soil maps were
ready and we had the rst consultants
report ready. From the maps, we knew
where we could farm and where we
couldnt, he said.
MPs took issue with the fact that of
the Sh1.6 billion spent on the project
so far, Sh920 million equivalent to 57.5
per cent was sunk in consultancy.
A city and two towns
Other expenses are Sh110 million
for development of a model farm,
Sh490 million for rehabilitation of
infrastructure, Sh32 million for a
study on suitability of the soil and
Sh50 million on facilitation including
travelling and vehicles.
If we are interested in tangibles, I
would have thought that more money
would be spent on the rehabilitation of
infrastructure, Mr Ichungwa said.
Mr Baraza justied the consultancy
fee, saying, Galana was not an ordi-
nary project.
The plan is to have a city and two
towns on the ranch that is almost as
big as the former Central Province,
he told the committee.
He added that the ranch was so
expansive and undeveloped that he
was once stuck there for a week be-
cause the roads were impassable and
planes couldnt land.
He said it was for that reason that
the board had concentrated on reha-
bilitating airstrips.
Mr Baraza said the plan was to set
up a 10,000-acre model farm to test
the concepts the government had in
mind, which, if successfully imple-
mented, would help boost investor
confidence. Private investors are
expected to eventually have the one
million acres under irrigation.
The 10,000-acre State-run pilot
farm to be set up would require a dam.
He said the Agriculture ministry was
looking for funds to put up the farm
and build the dam on Galana River.
The Israeli government was ap-
proached to nance the model farm
at a cost of $651 million (Sh55.3
billion).

S
o there is a lot of
dust and angry words
over opposition Cord
leader Raila Odingas call
for national dialogue
with President Kenyattas
government.
Political warriors have
lined up on both sides of
the argument. The Kenyatta
camp has all but rejected
Railas call, and Railas side
is pushing hard, smelling an
opportunity.
But are Kenyatta
and Raila really in
disagreement? Methinks
not. If you know a little
bit about these things,
the national dialogue and
negotiations are already
taking place and perhaps
no one knows this better
than the two.
What Kenyatta and Raila
are doing is playing for
advantage, and seeing who
will blink rst and lose.
The surprise to me, then,
is not that there is a lot of
verbal duelling over the
national dialogue call, but if
it has not been there.
Right now we are seeing
a testing of public opinion
and resolve. If Kenyatta
senses that the majority of
public opinion is on his side,
then he will tell Raila to go
and sunbathe in his garden
in Langata.
If Raila reads it that the
public favour his call, then
he will ask for his pound of
esh. For now, his call for
talks is couched broadly in
a need to unite the country
in order to resolve the many
crises facing it. But if he
smells the winds swinging
towards him, he will put
meat on his proposals, e.g.
suggesting a government of
national unity. But we are
not there yet.
In other words, theres
no need to run for the
hills yet; the boys are still
testing each other like sumo
wrestlers before the battle.
The next question is what
will the battle look like, and
why the need to ght it?
On that one, we can only
make educated guesses but
history can help us here.
Ever since the National
Rainbow Coalition (Narc)
brought former President
Mwai Kibaki to power
at the end of 2002,
there is something that
has happened to every
government. My sense is
that Kenya has become
a country where election
victory has become prisoner
to coalitions. You cant win
with a stand-alone party, so
everyone makes coalitions
Kenyattas Jubilee, Raila
Cord, and so on.
The second thing that
is now apparent is that
there is a disconnect; the
coalitions that are necessary
for winning power in Kenya,
are not terribly good for
governing the country once
in oce.
Therefore, within three
years of taking power,
and with the next election
looming, the president of
the day needs to reset his
politics. Kibaki or at
least his inner circle did
it by interpreting the pre-
election memorandum
of understanding (MoU)
signed with Railas party
to mean that there was no
need to share jobs equally.
In any event, that
argument led to a Raila
breakaway that formed
the Orange Democratic
Movement (ODM) to
oppose the Kibaki-backed
constitution in the 2005
referendum.
They defeated Kibaki,
but it really wasnt a defeat.
It seemed it was what the
Mzee had always wanted,
because then he used it
to bundle them out of
government, and reset
his administration. Kibaki
then used ODM to keep the
remnants of Narc united.
After he took power in
the disputed 2007 election
that led to post-election
violence, which ended with
the formation of the grand
coalition government with
Raila as PM, Kibaki again
needed a reset.
This time it came through
a shake-up that followed
a fall-out and resignation
of Martha Karua as Justice
Minister and the withdrawal
of her Narc-Kenya from
Kibakis Party of National
Unity (PNU). Kibaki could
aord this because with
both Raila and Kalonzo
Musyokas ODMs in the
turbulent coalition, he was
sure of one thing his
administration could not be
collapsed.
Deputy Prime Minister
William Ruto, who had a
ringside seat to all this
drama, learnt his lesson well
and so inked a very public
and more formal MoU
with Kenyatta. Kenyatta
thus nds himself needing
a Kibaki-type reset of his
governing, but he cannot
follow the same path of
denying the MoU if only
because the political cost is
too high.
But a reset he needs.
Railas national dialogue
is perfect for him. But he
cannot appear too eager
because it weakens his
hand. Whether he knows it
or not, Raila might just have
given Kenyatta the best
means to do his reset.

KWS must be reformed
H
ow to management wildlife sustainably
continues to exercise the minds of
conservationists and the government.
Historically, the management has evolved from
direct government through a department to an
autonomous agency the Kenya Wildlife Service.
Soon after it was set up two decades ago, the
KWS embarked on a campaign to end poaching,
professionalise wildlife conservation and improve
parks. The results were impressive.
But things have not been the same since.
Although there were reports recently that Kenya
continues to score highly in terms of taming
poaching, the success of the 1990s has been lost.
This is what a new report by a task force headed
by former KWS chief executive Nehemiah Rotich,
says. It paints a grim picture of the agencys status.
KWS, it says, is poorly managed, sta
demoralised due to unfavourable terms of service,
while the security teams are ill-equipped and the
legal and policy instruments obsolete.
Cumulatively, these have worked against wildlife
conservation, and not surprisingly, poaching has
thrived. Thus, it is imperative to implement the
task forces recommendations to revamp KWS so
that it can deliver on its mandate.

Saba Saba: Initiative
by MPs most timely
A
n initiative for a bipartisan parliamentary
caucus to navigate a way out of the prevailing
political gridlock deserves support from all
sides that genuinely wish our country well.
The need to cool down tempers became necessary
when serious national security issues were inserted
into political exchanges between the Jubilee
administration and the Cord opposition following
the latters demands for a national conference. Such
issues include but are not conned to the raid in
Mpeketoni in which some 60 innocent people were
butchered and a string of terrorist attacks.
There has since been a visible hardening of
positions from both sides in the countdown to the
July 7 rally that Cord touts as the launch of a major
political onslaught; but which critics see as a plot to
cause anarchy.
All the more urgency, then, for moderate voices
in Parliament and elsewhere to be heard, with
proposals towards a genuine national dialogue
rather than shouting matches and muscle exing.
Kenyans are anxious about what Saba Saba
presages. Violent language has helped raise political
temperatures, and the spectre looms of a return to
the bloody political warfare of recent vintage that
we have yet to recover from.
Ordinary citizens, the business community,
religious leaders, and all other stakeholders have
expressed fears over what is unfolding.
The initiative from Parliament could go a long
way towards providing an alternative forum that
is not hostage to political belligerence. We urge
President Kenyatta and Mr Raila Odinga to take
advantage of the way out that is now on oer.
However, the proposal from Parliament must be
expanded so that it is not just another manoeuvre
by the political classes to retain a monopoly on
ideas. The people of Kenya must not be shut out.

S
ince 1963 when the country attained
independence, a lot has happened
in its political terrain. For the past
50 years, Kenyans have seen a lot of
transformation, politically, socially and
economically. There have been ups and
downs, but society has braved all these to
ensure the country remains standing.
God never makes mistakes. When He
created Kenya, He chose to put in it 42
peoples, all speaking dierently, but living
in one nation. This gave birth to the 42
tribes we are all proud of.
A country like Papua New Guinea is
located in a region of the south-western
Pacic Ocean north of Australia. It is a
small country in the middle of the ocean,
and with only 7.4 million people, it has
848 tribes. The people of PNG are united
and no tribe feels superior to the other.
Kenya with 42 tribes and a population
of 42 million is much more divided.
Kenyans look at each other suspiciously
and always live as though they are in a
lions den. Hate and animosity are the
order of the day.
The culture of tribalism and
stereotyping is the undoing of any nation.
Like a renowned reggae musician Winston
Rodney (Burning Spear) sang, Any
country without roots is like a tree without
roots.
Kenyans have refused to emancipate
themselves from the cancer of tribalism.
They have refused to learn from Rwanda,
whose two tribes butchered each other
mercilessly in 1994.
When Tanzanias founding father Julius
Nyerere introduced ujamaa (socialism) in
his country, the culture nurtured a united
Tanzania that lives to-date. Today, when
you go to Tanzania, you will hardly
hear a Mchaga introducing himself as
such, or the Shambaa, Shirazi, Sukuma,
Ngurimi, Datooga etc. They all introduce
themselves as Tanzanians yet there are
260 listed tribes in that country.
Today in Kenya, anything planned
is looked at as a gaining ground for a
particular tribe or community. If a person
from the Kikuyu community plans an
event, he is looked at as a Kikuyu and not
a Kenyan. If a Luo does so, he is looked at
as a Luo. This is bad.
For instance, for the past one month,
there has been a clamour for national
dialogue spearheaded by Cord. Yes, Cord
is in the opposition. There are many
issues that Cord wants addressed, not
through Parliament, but on a national
table with representatives from both sides
of the political divide and stakeholders
from religious organisations, trade
unions, the business community, the
teaching fraternity, youth and womens
organisations.
The goal of the national dialogue cannot
be achieved in Parliament.
But it pains when this push for dialogue
is misinterpreted to mean that a particular
community is being targeted. Kenya is
home for us all and it would be sinful for
any community to rise up against the
other. That was not Gods intention when
He put us in one nation.
Of concern is the narrative doing the
rounds that the push for dialogue is aimed
at propelling Mr Odinga to power. This
is baloney. Mr Odinga respects the rule
of law and has been around in politics
for long enough to know the democratic
channels for ascending to power.
It is foolhardy for Internal Security
Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku to
make pronouncements that could set
Kenyans against fellow Kenyans.
Claiming that a particular community
is being targeted by Cord was the most
irresponsible remark from a man charged
with ensuring the safety of every Kenyan
and visitor. That amounted to hate speech
and ethnic proling. Mr Lenku owes
Kenyans an apology.

SIMPLE LIVES. On the issue of the extravagant
lifestyles of some Catholic nuns, Wambua Musembi
begs to dier with Janet Koi, who sees nothing wrong
with the sisters driving the latest models of SUVs. Says
he: Its wrong for her to suggest they should do so
just because they are educated and they buy the cars
with their own money. He adds: Being a Catholic I
know that nuns should live a life of poverty, chastity
and obedience. Their choice puts them beyond the
things of this world.
CONTRACTOR SLOTHFUL. The contractor
working on the key road at Upper Hill, Nairobi, has
been at it for the past three years and yet the four-
kilometre stretch is not about to be completed, says
Chris Chabeda. And the sluggish pace of work, he
adds, has come with other consequences, as is clearly
evident on Matumbato Road, which is being used to
divert trac and has now been completely run down.
What a shame! yells Chris.
JUDICIAL INCOMPETENCE. The Judiciary, which
should always be leading the way in ensuring that
justice is done, is doing badly in its handling of bail
refunds as Charles Mwangi has just found out. Mwangi
had a case at Milimani Commercial Courts and posted
a Sh350,000 bail. When the charge against him was
later withdrawn, he was assured a refund would be
made soon. Well, he is still waiting three months later
and keeps being tossed between the registry and
the accounts oce, with talk about a missing le or
receipts. His contact is wanyiricm@gmail.com.
END THE MAYHEM. The noisy mayhem in Kisumu
Town continues despite recent assurances by county
government ocials that something is being done
about it, says Nadim Wawji, whose family in the town
centre has to put up with the bedlam emanating from
a hotel. Last Friday, he reports, the hotel played loud
music until the wee hours. The noise is aecting
our peace and is a real nuisance. He simply cannot
understand why the ocials will not get the culprits

POWER TO THE PEOPLE | Basett Buyukah
T
he cost of electricity
continues to be a topical
issue for both domestic
and industrial consumers.
Kenyas current energy mix
has a capacity of 1,700MW.
About half of it comes from
hydroelectric power stations,
which are susceptible to the
vagaries of weather.
Thermal generation through
diesel-powered units add
the component of fuel cost
adjustment to the price of
power.
The 5,000MW-plus plan
by the Ministry of Energy
and Petroleum has the aim
of increasing Kenyas power
capacity to 6,700MW, a four-
fold increase, by the end of
2016. The result is expected
to be cheaper electricity and
increased capacity in the grid.
The direct spin-o will
be a more competitive
business environment for
manufacturing and industrial
concerns, with the attendant
benet of jobs creation and
faster economic growth.
This strategy is based on
geothermal, natural gas and
coal. That energy mix will be
enriched and enlarged further
with the infusion of nuclear
electricity generation by 2022.
To paraphrase a quote
attributed to the famous
inventor, Thomas Edison:
We will make the cost of
electricity so cheap that only
the rich will burn candles.
That statement is not
without merit and relevance,
then as now. Indeed, an
analysis of developed
countries around the world
proves that most, if not all,
share one thing: They have
at one time or another used
nuclear electricity to spur
economic development.
This spans the United States
Canada in North America,
Germany, France, Sweden,
Russia, Finland, the United
Kingdom and Slovakia in
Europe, as well as China,
Republic of Korea, Japan in
Asia, and Brazil in South
America, to name but a few.
Closer home, Africas
second largest economy, South
Africa, is a nuclear power
producer with 1,800MW from
its two nuclear power plants.
Signicantly, South Africa
plans to add 9,600MW from
nuclear power to its grid by
2030. By that time, Kenya
proposes to have 4,000MW
generated from nuclear plants.
Facts never lie. South
Africa generates 44,000MW
of electricity followed by
Egypt with 31,000MW. This
compares unfavourably with
Kenyas 1,700MW. It provides
a reason why Kenya needs to
diversify its sources of energy.
Besides the capacity, the
levels of access and reliability
are key ingredients to getting
the right mix to provide power
at competitive rates.
Thus far, more than a dozen
students have studied Nuclear
Power Engineering at the top-
notch Kepco International
Nuclear Graduate School in
Korea, while 45 others have
been sponsored to undertake
Masters degree courses
at the Institute of Nuclear
Science and Technology at the
University of Nairobi.
Besides, technical studies
have been done with the aim
of identifying suitable sites for
nuclear power plants.
The board is also preparing
the legal framework that will
lead to the formation of an
independent regulator. This
body will handle issues of
safeguards and compliance, and
ensure the highest international
safety standards are adhered to.
Public participation is key
to the success of the nuclear
power programme. A National
Nuclear Energy Stakeholders
Forum was held in February
in Nairobi. Participants
included government ocials
and agencies, trade unions,
manufacturers, industrialists,
academia, media and
professional bodies.
The board has also given
nuclear energy career
talks in high schools
and universities, besides
exhibiting at ASK shows
and sponsoring the Kenya
Science and Engineering Fair
and the Kenya Association
of Manufacturers Energy
Management Awards.
These building blocks will
lead to a behemoth that will
drive Kenyas development
inexorably to the newly
industrialised middle-income
country status envisaged
under Vision 2030.
An abiding concern has
been about safety. However,
modern nuclear reactor designs
have elaborate safety features.
They serve to greatly improve
eciency while diminishing
the prospect of accidents like
Chernobyl. The Fukushima
incident in Japan was
attributable to the force majeure
(an unexpected and disruptive
event) of the tsunami.

I
read with disbelief Ahmednasir
Abdulahis commentary that
the only capacities that Raila
Odinga has to call for national dia-
logue was rst, as a senior citizen,
and second as a Luo elder, to voice
concerns on issues aecting his
tribe (Sunday Nation, June 22).
Before I educate Ahmednasir on
the locus standi which Raila has, to
call for national dialogue, let me
also put it to him that he, has no
locus standi to ask for Railas locus
standi.
Be that as it may, let Ahmednasir
be enlightened that Railas capacity
to demand talks is, rst, in his ca-
pacity as the leader of the Ocial
Opposition. The work of the op-
position is to keep the government
in check.
This, Raila does well as evi-
denced by the rapt attention he
gets, the cold the government (and
like-minded columnists) gets when-
ever he sneezes, and the masses at-
tending his rallies, even in Jubilee
political turfs, such as Eldoret.
He is keeping the government in
check on the worsening insecurity,
the rising cost of living, devolution,
a bungling electoral team, and other
issues aecting the citizens.
Raila has the right too, to call for
national dialogue in his capacity as
the father of the second liberation.
He led the country from single
party dictatorship to a multiparty
democracy. This eventually gave
birth to the devolved system of
government. Devolution is being
diluted by the government.
The President unconstitutionally
appointed county commissioners.
Now he wants to control how the
counties communicate and adver-
tise. Perhaps this is because most
people in government, including his
deputy, voted against devolution.
Freedom of speech and freedom
of expression is a right Ahmednasir
gained as a result of the Constitu-
tion that was passed in 2010.
It is through the same Constitu-
tion that Ahmednasirs rights to
make unfortunate remarks about
the person who ensured that he
has that right, are enshrined.
Raila is a leader with not only
a tribal following as Ahmednasir
suggests, but global following and
respect. The litany of locus standi is
endless, but need I say more?

Kenyans are Internet savvy, and

Cord would simply set up a dedi-
cated website with key discussion
points detailing the present state of

There should also be a section for
public comments to provide addi-
tional information. A simpler ver-
sion can use an SMS platform.
If after this the government
chooses not to implement whats
best for Kenya, then mobilising
public peaceful protests is justi-
able. Premature Saba Saba will
only divide Kenyans further, as this
is not a platform to debate ideas.

Emails from correspondents
Artists should not worry about wealth? Go, tell it to the birds!
I refer to an article by Edwin Oteyo Lunyiro (Satur-
day Nation, June 29) headlined Artists should never
worry about wealth. The writer argued that an artist
only gets glory when he dies. This followed a debate
sparked by acclaimed actor Joseph Olitas death and
the news indicating that the he led a humble life.
I like Mr Lunyiros articles, but his recent piece
leaves a lot to be desired. According to him, material
things have taken centre stage, and so he blames capi-
talism for conning artists to the life of squalor. Art-
ists are incorruptible, he argues. Yet there are artists
out there who have been implicated in social ills.
He concludes that artists should just do their work
and not to wait for pay. Telling artists to be compla-
cent in poverty is to belittle their contributions. Crit-
ics like Lunyiro ought to help them lead a decent life.
His assertion that the rich make their money in
dirty deals is outrageous. This line of argument reso-
nates well with slothful members of the society who
think any wealthy person in town is corrupt.
He portrayed artists as lazy people who always nd
excuses for not acquiring wealth. Are we going to
celebrate poverty? What kind of role model will art-
ists make to the young ones aspiring to pursue either
music, acting or writing careers?
Yes, artists should continue to educate, criticise and
entertain the society, and make money as well.

Considering that all 58,000 stu-

CPS made Sh87 million; the 16,000
review students will pay Sh1,000

T
he ban on importation
of genetically modied
organisms does not in-
clude cotton, the government
has claried.
However, the government
will intervene if the cotton
seeds are used to manufac-
ture edible oils, according to
the chief public health ocer
in the Ministry of Health, Dr
Kepha Ombacho.
Non-food items are not
aected by the ban, Dr Om-
bacho told the Parliamentary
Committee on Agriculture,
which is chaired by Mandera
North MP Adan Mohamed.
The chairman of a task-
force set up to investigate the
safety of GMOs, Prof Kihumbu
Thairu, told the committee
that his teams mandate was
limited to food and the ban
did not aect research on the
technology.
He was responding to con-
cern by Mumias East MP Ben
Washiali and Fred Outa who
sought to know what the gov-
ernment was doing to assist
counties keen on introducing
GM cotton in their regions.
The ban on the import and
use of GM food, the MPs said,
had adversely affected the
planned commercialisation
of cotton in Kenya.
Monsanto Kenya, the com-
pany that is set to roll out
the technology, is said to be
reluctant to submit its report
for nal endorsement by the
National Biosafety Authority
(NBA). This is because farm-
ers will only benet from the
lint as the seed cake and oil,
that constitute 60 per cent of
the crop, will have no market
as long as the ban stands.
There are fears the NBA
might only sanction the lint,
rendering the other by-prod-
ucts a waste.
According to the Kenya
Agricultural Research Insti-
tute, the genetically modied
crop, which is expected to cut
production costs by reducing
the number of sprays used
to ght pests and diseases
from about 12 to three, was
earmarked to be the rst to
be rolled out to farmers by the
end of this year.
Initially, ginneries used
to extract the cotton and
return the seeds to farmers
for replanting but with the
GM variety, growers cannot
replant what comes from
their produce.
Farmers interested in GM
cotton are expected to plant
certied seeds approved by the
Kenya Plant Health Inspector-
ate Service.

ag is intrinsically unconstitutional
and meant to create conict and ad-
versarial relationships between the
two levels of government.
The national ag is not the prop-
erty of the National Government.
Through legislation, the State can
prescribe how the ag is hoisted but it
cannot prevent governors from using
it, Mr Wanyama argued.
The national ag symbol is often
part of celebrations of patriotism or
aspiring nationalism and is designed
to be inclusive and representative of
all the people in a nation, the lawyer
stated.
Transfer of public power
He said that the national ag was
also a symbol of Kenya manifesting
itself to the world as a national com-
munity.
Mr Wanyama said that when the
governors were sworn into oce on
March 27, 2013, the Transition Au-
thority gave them the greenlight.
He said the authority, established
by the Transition to Devolved Govern-
ment Act 2012 to provide for a smooth
and seamless transfer of public power
and resources to the counties, was
within the law.
One of the reasons adduced for
this was that the ying of the national
ag would promote national unity at
the county level in accordance with
the provision of Article 174 of the
Constitution.
The lawyer said there was eminent
risk that the governors would be ar-
rested by the Inspector-General of
Police and prosecuted on account
of the law.
The matter was certied urgent and
lawyer Wanyama was directed to serve
the respondents who include Inspec-
tor General of the National Police
Service, the Director of Public Pros-
ecutions, the National Assembly and
the Attorney General.
The case will be heard on July 7.
The contravention of the National
Flag, Emblems and Names (Amend-
ment) Act 2014 attracts a ne of Sh1
million or imprisonment for a maxi-
mum of ve years or both.

Malombes eight-point plan to spur growth
Kitui Governor Julius Malombe will
today launch a sanitation project at
Kawongo.
The project is part of his eight-point
Kitui Marshal Plan to spur development
through job and wealth creation.
The plan involves development
projects in education, water, agricul-
ture, entrepreneurship, roads, youth,
electrication, mobile telephony and
civic education.
Yesterday, Dr Malombe said the
county government had invested Sh473
million to improve the education sector.
He said the initiative would boost
performance in national examinations
and manpower development.
At the same time, he said 2,400
sand dams across the county would
be constructed on small and medium
rivers with each ward receive 60 such
dams.
This is meant to increase water for
domestic use and for livestock, irriga-
tion, and tree planting with a view to
greening the land, said the governor.
He said the programme would also
involve building more earth dams,
sinking boreholes and extending water
pipelines to bring water closer to every
home. To bring water closer to the
people, boreholes, dams and pipelines
will be developed in the villages as well
as installing tanks in schools, health fa-
cilities, markets and even homes, said
Dr Malombe.
This year, the county government set
aside Sh320 million to boost water and
irrigation projects across the county.
Meanwhile, the county govern-
ment in conjunction with National
Construction Authority will train 2,000
contractors, 50 from each ward, on
construction of roads, schools as well
as setting up water and electricity
projects.
The county government will there-
after award them tenders ranging from
Sh50,000 to Sh1 million in a bid to
spread wealth among dierent people
and parts of the county, he said.
Dr Malombe added that a Sh55 mil-
lion Youth Infrastructure, Savings and
Enterprise Development Programme to
assist 10,000 youths from 200 villages
across the county is under implementa-
tion.
In this programme youths will work
in local infrastructure projects where
they will save part of their income and
the county government will provide a
matching fund equivalent to their sav-
ings to enable them start investment
projects of their choice, he said.
He said the county government
would install street lights in all ward
headquarters to boost security and
promote 24-hour trade.
He said this would also to improve
road network by grading roads and
constructing culverts, bridges and drift
to ease transport. This year alone, the
county government has spent Sh670
million in roads construction.
The county government, he said,
would support mobile telephony de-
velopment to boost trade and social
interaction, adding that so far Sh90
million had been set aside to boost mo-
bile network in conjunction with mobile
telephone companies.
He said the county government
would also initiate public education
programme to create awareness on
the role of national and county govern-
ments, voter registration, health issues,
agriculture and environmental conser-
vation issues.

Mike Kimoko
day when the Opposition Cord has
called for countrywide rallies.
People with hidden agendas
might be taking advantage of the
planned meetings to fulll their evil
intentions.
I want to assure residents that my
ocers are not taking anything for
granted, Mr Kimoko said.
He added that security officers
had visited Chakamba and assured
residents of their security.
Once bitten twice shy. We are fol-
lowing every tip we get seriously to
avoid what happened in Mpeketoni
where scores of people lost their
lives, he said.
Mr Kimoko expressed concern over
the recent inux of pastrolists and
their livestock into the delta.
He said this threatened peace and
harmony as sharing of resources was
the main cause of conict between
communities.
Mr Kimoko said that it was unusual
to see so much livestock at this time
of season when locals were busy with
farming.
Its green everywhere, we dont ex-
pect any movement of livestock into
this area. We suspect some people are
up to no good, he said.
Mr Kimoko said that after the
raid in Mpeketoni that left over 60
people dead, some people with ill-
motives may have sought refuge in
the delta.
He said that it was not easy to tell
those behind the leaets but the of-
cers were investigating.

Womens poll mired in controversy
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
The Maendeleo ya Wa-
nawake Organisation ward
elections were marred by
confusion in Mombasa yes-
terday after members failed
to agree on the documents to
be used.
The women were divided
into two groups, with one
demanding that only the
national identity cards be
used.
However, the second camp
insisted on both the IDs and
the membership cards.
There were also claims of
interference, with senior local
politicians being accused of
pouring money to inuence
the outcome.
Hundreds of women from
Mwembe Tayari, Majengo,
Old Town, Kizingo, Tonon-
oka, Kibokoni, Shimanzi,
Ganjoni, Tudor Estate and
Tudor 4 were to elect a
representative each at the
Majengo DOs oce.
The county elections are
set for July 8.
By the ti me of goi ng
to press, it was not clear
whether the secret ballot or
queue voting would be used.
There was no presiding of-
cer to clarify either.

Lucrative omena deal
slips out of county net
BY EVERLINE OKEWO
@ivaachieng
eokewo@ke.nationmedia
F
ishermen in Homa Bay
suered a major setback
after a deal collapsed that
would have seen them export
omena to Europe.
Investors have said the spe-
cies harvested in the region was
too small.
Under the agreement signed
between Governor Cyprian
Awiti and a delegation from the
Isle of Man in October last year,
the county was to export at least
10,000 tonnes of omenaa tiny
species of shannually.
Besides increasing their
earnings through export, the
shermen would also have a
fish-packing and processing
plants.
When samples of the frozen
fresh omena were taken to Ire-
land and tested early this year,
however, it was established that
they were too small.
It is unfortunate that we
cannot export our omena
because of the size, county
executive member for Fisher-
ies David Okeyo told the Nation
yesterday. Homa Bay county
can produce at least 35,000
tonnes a year. Unfortunately
the species we harvest is too
small, he said.
He, however, added that once
the Mbita causeway is opened,
the breeding sites of sh will
change for the better and en-
able the harvests to meet the
required standards.
Assessment of the small sh
species at Muhuru Bay in Mig-
ori county by Ireland early this
year revealed that the county
could export omena because
their species was large com-
pared with Homa Bay.
Migori County executive
member for agriculture, live-
stock and fisheries Moses
Chamwada said none of the
investors from Ireland had ap-
proached them.
Come on board
We had asked our counter-
parts (Homa Bay) to incorporate
us in the deal because we also
have a sizeable quantity that
meets international standards,
he said.
Mr Chamwada said they
would not hesitate to come
on board should they be ap-
proached.
Our intention is to improve
the value of sh species in Lake
Victoria, he said.
Irelands minister for the
Environment, Food and Agri-
culture Phil Gawne had earlier
said investors from his country
were keen on importing omena
in large quantities from Homa
Bay.
European dealers
say harvests from
regions shores
were too small
Homa Bay | Fish pact was signed last year
Quantity: Under the ar-
rangement, shermen were
to export 10,000 metric
tonnes of omena to Europe
every year.
Other benets: Region
was to benet from a sh
processing and packaging
plant to ensure value ad-
dition.
Origin: The agreement was
arrived at during a visit by
Irelands Minister for the En-
vironment last October.

Huge workers

revenue base

M
ombasa County
Assembly has ap-
proved a budget
of Sh12.1 billion for the
nancial year 2014/2015,
with a staggering Sh4.6
billion going to workers
salaries.
Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Budgets and
Appropriations Saad Faraj
presented it during a special
session on Monday.
According to the Chief
Officer of Finance, Mr
Abdulwahab Mbarak, the
county hopes to collect
Sh6.7 billion from local
revenue sources.
The Commission on
Revenue Allocation has
allocated Mombasa Sh4.5
billion, while donors are
expected to give Sh933
million.
Mr Mbarak said that the
salaries was a huge burden
to the county as it was more
than a third of the total
budget of Sh12.1 billion.
The county has more
than 3,000 employees, with
2,600 workers inherited
from the defunct Mombasa
Municipal Council while the
rest were absorbed from de-
volved units.
The county is grappling
with a major challenge of
paying workers Sh4.6 bil-
lion against a total local
revenue collection of Sh6.7
billion, he said.
Only Sh4 billion has
been set aside for develop-
ment and Sh2.4 billion went
to recurrent expenditure,
he said.
In the budget, the as-
sembly gave Sh1.3 billion
to health while transport
and infrastructure was al-
located Sh976.8 million.
A total of Sh699.7 million
went to nance, Sh544 mil-
lion was set aside for trade
and education received
Sh509.9 million.
The executive was al-
located Sh453.9 million,
with Sh316 million meant
for recurrent expenditure
and Sh137 million devel-
opment.
Lands received Sh361.8
million, in which Sh184
million is for development
and Sh177.8 million recur-
rent expenditure.
The tourism sector, that
has experienced a decline
due to low international
arrivals, was allocated only
Sh253 million.
Livestock got Sh227.6
million, with Sh153 million
earmarked for develop-
ment.
Other areas include water
and environment (Sh216.9
million), youth (Sh201
million), sheries (Sh92.8
million) and Public service
Sh74 million.
The assembly gave agri-
culture Sh63 million.
This time round, the
county presented realistic
estimates compared to the
gures of last year.
At that time, the budget
of Sh21.7 billion was
rejected by the National
Treasury.

Health, education get
lions share of budget
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kwale County has devoted the li-
ons share of its Sh5.6 billion budget
to funding health, education and
agriculture.
This is after MCAs adopted budget
estimates for the 2014/2015 nancial
year.
Speaking to Nation, Kwale County
Assembly Majority Leader Nassoro
Mgutta said 52 per cent of the budget
would go to development while 48 per
cent of the money would be spent on
recurrent expenditure.
The county assembly set aside
Sh1.2 billion to be used to upgrade
all health centres and buy medicine.
We gave the biggest considera-
tion to the health sector because it
is only by having a healthy society
that our county can prosper, Mr
Mgutta said.
The assembly also prioritised the
education sector by allocating it Sh547
million, of which Sh200 million will
go to the bursary fund.
He said the money will also be
spent on early childhood develop-
ment including the school feeding
programme in 100 centres and also
to construct 60 ECD centres three
in each ward.
In the last nancial year, we al-
located Sh100 million for bursary to
be distributed to each ward but we
realised the money was not sucient,
he said.

Improved roads a key
priority in Sh3bn plan
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Recurrent expenditure will ac-
count for the largest share of Taita
Tavetas Sh3.4 billion budget for
this nancial year.
Finance executive committee
member Flora Mtuweta made health
a priority by allocating it Sh903.4
million, the biggest share.
Ms Mtuweta said the budget fo-
cuses on health, nursery schools
and agriculture.
We also focus on reducing the
cost of doing business by improving
roads, she said.
The County Assembly was yes-
terday debating the estimates.
More than half the budget Sh2.3
billion will nance recurrent ex-
penditure, if the assembly adopts
the proposals.
The executive arm of the govern-
ment will take 84 per cent of the
total revenue, while the remaining
16 per cent will go to the County
Assembly.
The County Assembly will re-
ceive the second largest portion,
Sh513 million while devolution
and administration were allocated
Sh359 million.
The assembly will spend Sh11
million on tea and a similar
amount on foreign travel. It also
set aside Sh4 million for purchase
of four stand-by power generators
for backup.
Taita Taveta >
Nakuru >
Sh3m allocated for
members mortgage
County Assembly members will
now enjoy the luxury of a Sh3
million mortgage package each.
The allocation was catered for
in the 2014/5 budget and will
cost the county Sh225 million.
None had been made in the last
scal year despite calls from
the MCAs to have a Sh2 million
grant in addition to a Sh3 million
mortgage as provided to MPs.
Provision for mortgages and
grants caused friction between
the county representatives and
the Sarah Serem-led Salaries
and Remuneration Commission
resulting in the latter boycotting
house proceedings for more
than three months. The SRC
later gave in but with a rider that
MCAs nance the mortgage from
their county budgets.
Kwale >
Foreign travel to
cost Sh30 million
Kwale County Assembly
members have defended
allocating Sh30 million in the
current budget for travel abroad.
Chengoni/Samburu MCA Josphat
Chirema said devolution is a new
concept and for them to deliver
quality services, they had to
learn from what other countries
were doing. I do not know what
the problem is because when
MPs and Senators travel, no one
makes noise but when MCAs do
the same, everyone says we are
wasting money, he said. We
need to go out and see things.
As it is, you cannot say you are
developed if you grew up, went
to school and are employed in
Kwale. He accused the Senate
of letting down the counties
by siding with the National
Assembly instead of protecting
their interests.
Narok >
Sh392m set aside for
security in the Mara
The county government has
given priority to security within
the world famous Maasai Mara
Game Reserve (above) by
allocating it Sh392 million in
the 2014/2015 budget. Finance
Executive Ms Lena Munge said
this was meant to bolster its
position in the market as a key
tourist destination. To make
the region easily accessible,
the county government has
allocated Sh1.7 billion for the
completion of ongoing upgrading
road projects, an increase from
Sh1.2 billion given last year.
Health and Education will receive
Sh335 million and Sh344 million
respectively.

County 25
BY ARTHUR SITUMA

R
oads in Uasin Gishu County
will be given top priority in
its Sh5.5 billion budget.
Infrastructure development has
been allocated Sh632 million in the
budget presented by nance executive
Shadrack Sambai.
The county projects to raise Sh1.1
billion through revenue collection to
supplement the Sh4.4 billion allocated
by The National Treasury.
According to Mr Sambais esti-
mates, the county plans to expand
markets, create more bus parks and
explore other untapped revenue
streams to generate the decit.
Failing to spend
The budget was read as Governor
Jackson Mandago expressed dis-
satisfaction with erroneous media
reports that the county had returned
Sh769 million to the National Treas-
ury after failing to spend it.
The balances highlighted in
the print media are the dierences
between the national government re-
leases up to the month of March 2014
and the county government spending
at the same time, Mr Mandago said
in a press statement on Monday.
The county gave education second
priority in the budget with a Sh264
million allocation followed by health
(Sh214 million), agriculture (Sh157
million), trade and tourism (Sh151
million), environment (Sh111 mil-
lion), lands (Sh93 million) and ICT
(Sh63 million).
Recurrent expenditure
A further Sh50 million was allocated
to the sub-county oces in the budget
with 36 per cent set to go to develop-
ment while 64 per cent set aside to
service recurrent expenditure.
We are glad that this is a balanced
budget and our projection of revenue
collection to nance it is achievable.
In fact, we are targeting more than
that to nance it, Mr Sambai said.
On public participation in budget-
ary preparation as required by law,
Mr Sambai noted that Uasin Gishu
residents had been given a platform
to scrutinise the budget proposals
before they were tabled.
The budget incorporated views
from the public and relevant assem-
bly committees and that is why it was
approved, Mr Sambai said.
Speaker Isaac Terer challenged
the executive to be precise in the
implementation of the budget, say-
ing this would avoid disruption due
to lack of funds.

Health takes
big chunk of
county cash
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Kili County Assembly has
passed a budget that gives priority
to health.
Finance committee executive
Daniel Mangi said healthcare had
been allocated Sh1.3 billion of the
Sh8.4 billion budget. From dilapi-
dated health centres, especially in
rural areas, to shortage of drugs and
nurses, the situation is serious. As
a result, we decided to allocate
Sh1.3 billion, which will help end
the problems, he said.
Did not return money
Mr Mangi also said Sh1.1 billion
earmarked for projects in the 2013/
2014 budget had been incorporated
in this years budget. Contrary to
what many people believe, the Kili
county government did not return
money to the national government
as the funds had been earmarked
for projects, he said.
The development fund was in-
creased from 35 per cent to 44 per
cent (Sh3.6 billion) while recurrent
expenditure was reduced from 65
per cent to 56 per cent (Sh4.7 bil-
lion).
In a bid to improve infrastruc-
ture, each ward was allocated Sh15
million, up from last years Sh10
million.

BY NANA BOAKYE-YIADOM
ACCRA, Wednesday
H
ealth ministers from
across western Africa
met today to plan dras-
tic action against the worlds
deadliest-ever Ebola epidemic
as dozens of new cases contin-
ued to emerge.
There have been 759 con-
rmed or suspected cases of the
haemorrhagic fever in Guinea,
Liberia and Sierra Leone, the
World Health Organization
(WHO) said on Tuesday, with
467 people dead.
The new death toll represented
a rise of 129 or 38 per cent
since the UN agencys last bul-
letin given just a week ago.
This makes the ongoing Ebola
outbreak the largest in terms of
the number of cases and deaths
as well as geographical spread,
the WHO said in a statement an-
nouncing the two-day conference,
which opened in Ghanas capital
Accra, with 11 west African health
ministers attending.
Decisions taken at this meet-
ing will be critical in addressing
the current and future outbreaks,
it said.
Since the regions rst ever
epidemic of the deadly and
highly contagious fever broke
out in Guinea in January, the
WHO has sent in more than
150 experts to help tackle the
regional crisis.
Despite the eorts of the UN
agency and other health work-
ers, there has been a signicant
increase in the rate of new cases
and deaths in recent weeks, the
WHO said.
Medical charity Doctors With-
out Borders, which is known by
its French initials MSF, said last
week that the spread of the virus,
which has had a mortality rate
of up to 90 percent in previous
outbreaks, was out of control,
with more than 60 outbreak
hotspots.
The agency has warned that
Ebola could spread to other
countries, warning those hardest
hit could struggle to contain the
disease. The agencys top Ebola
specialist Pierre Formenti told
AFP last month that the recent
surge in cases had come in
part because eorts to contain
the virus had been relaxed too
quickly after the outbreak ap-
peared to slow down in April.
One case can restart an entire
epidemic, he warned, justifying
the dramatic measures taken to
contain Ebola, which is spread
via bodily fluids including
sweat, meaning just touching
an infected person is enough to
spread the virus.
Ministers from Guinea, where
413 conrmed, suspected and
probable cases have surfaced
so far including 303 deaths, and
Liberia, which has seen 107 cases
and 65 deaths, will take part in
the meeting. Sierra Leone, which
has recorded 239 cases and 99
deaths, will also be represented
at the conference.
In addition, ocials from Cote
dIvoire, Mali, Senegal, Gambia
and Guinea-Bissau, along with
Ghana and countries as far aeld
as Uganda and the Democratic
Republic of Congo have been
invited, the WHO said.
They will be joined by a host
of UN agencies and other aid
organisations including MSF
and the Red Cross, as well as
personnel from disease control
centres in western Africa, the
United States, Britain and the
European Union.
The WHO has described the
current Ebola epidemic as one
of the most challenging since the
virus was rst identied in 1976
in what is now DR Congo.
That outbreak, the deadliest
until this year, killed 280 people,
according to WHO gures.
Ebola can fell its victims within
days, causing severe fever and
muscle pain, weakness, vomiting
and diarrhoea in some cases
shutting down organs and caus-
ing unstoppable bleeding.
No specic medicine or vac-
cine exists for the virus, which
is named after a small river in
the DR Congo. So far we are
free from Ebola but we cannot
rest on our laurels, a spokesman
for Ghanas health ministry told
AFP.
We cant aord to have Ebola
in Ghana and we also need to
stop this from spreading in the
other west African nations.

ACCRA, Wednesday
The Ghanaian government has
denied that President John Dramani
Mahama had resigned from oce.
Deputy Minister for Informa-
tion Felix Kwakye Ofosu said the
government directed the Criminal
Investigations Department (CID)
of the Ghana Police Service to in-
vestigate the source of the rumour.
Rumours were on the rounds early
on Tuesday that Mr Mahama had
tendered his resignation letter, cit-
ing his inability to solve the numerous
problems the country had been grap-
pling with.
Various social media
A letter to that effect was pub-
lished on various social media
networks under the ocial seal of
state with a signature looking very
much like that of the president.
Government wishes to state un-
equivocally that the said letter is a
total fabrication and the product of
criminal machinations by faceless ele-
ments with a view to sowing seeds of
panic, anxiety and chaos within the
Ghanaian society, Deputy Minister
for Information Felix Kwakye Ofosu
said in a statement.
The statement assured Ghanaians
that Mr Mahama was eternally com-
mitted to the oath that he swore before
them to serve them diligently with the
highest ethical and moral standards.
In view of the gravity of the mat-
ter, Mr Ofosu said, especially the
forgery of the Presidents signature in
this matter, government has formally
requested the Criminal Investigations
Department of the Ghana Police Serv-
ice to conduct thorough investigations
into the matter and bring to book the
masterminds behind this reprehensible
act. (Xinhua)

Ethiopia is facing a huge wave

The numbers are increasing ex-

than 158,000 South Sudanese
refugees have already crossed
the border to reach camps in
neighbouring Ethiopia, accord-
ing to UN gures released on
Wednesday. At least 1,500 more
are arriving every week, and the

PRETORIA, Wednesday
P
aralympian star Oscar
Pistorius, on trial
over the killing of his
girlfriend, is suering from
post-traumatic stress and is a
suicide risk, a South African
court heard today.
The diagnosis was contained
in a psychological report read
to the court by lawyer Barry
Roux, who is defending Pis-
torius on charges that he
deliberately shot and killed
model Reeva Steenkamp on
Valentines Day last year.
Mr Pistorius has been
severely traumatised by the
events that took place, Mr
Roux quoted the report as
saying.
He currently suers from a
post-traumatic stress disorder
and a major depressive disor-
der. He is also mourning the
loss of Ms Steenkamp.
Pistorious, 27, (pictured)
had received treatment for
his condition and this should
continue, the report said.
Should he not receive
proper clinical care, his con-
dition is likely to worsen and
increase the risks for suicide.
The report was the result of
30 days of court-ordered
psychiatric observation of the
double-amputee athlete.
Both sides cherry-picked
from the report to back up
their cases. Prosecutor Gerrie
Nel read excerpts which said
Pistorius had not suered any
mental illness at the time he
shot Steenkamp and could be
held criminally responsible
for his actions.
Roux countered with a
section dealing with the
prosecutions contention
that Pistorious had a volatile
temper.
No evidence could be found
to indicate that Mr Pistorius
has a history of abnormal
aggression or explosive vio-
lence, Mr Roux read.
He does not display the
personality characteristics of
narcissism and of psychopa-
thy that are mostly associated
with men in abusive relation-
ships and have been linked to
rage-type murders in intimate
relationships.
Earlier, in a pummelling
cross-examination, Nel ques-
tioned Pistoriuss manager
about the star sprinters angry
outbursts and turbulent love
life, zeroing in on apparent
inconsistencies in key parts
of his account.
Mr Nel dismissed Pete Van
Zyls claim that he did not
know of Pistoriuss aggres-
sive behaviour at past athletic
events and personal details
about his previous girlfriends.
But van Zyl denied trying to
protect Pistorious.
I do not have any future
contracts or anything of that
sort. Contracts have been ter-
minated, he said. (AFP)
Pistorious had in fact had
to repay some sponsorship
money, he said.
I dont stand to gain any-
thing by being biased toward
Mr Pistorius in my testimony,
he said. Pistorius, known as
the Blade Runner, has been
charged with murdering
Steenkamp by shooting her
four times through a locked
toilet door after a row.(AFP)

PARIS, Wednesday
N
icolas Sarkozy hit back
today after being charged
with corruption, denying
he broke the law and suggest-
ing his political enemies were
interfering with the French
justice system.
I have never committed any
act contrary to the values of
the republic or the rule of law,
Mr Sarkozy said after he was
charged on three corruption-
related counts that threaten to
torpedo his hopes of a political
comeback.
I have never betrayed the con-
dence of the French people, he
added, in extracts of an interview
to be aired later by LCI television
and Europe 1 radio.
It was to be Mr Sarkozys rst
major broadcast interview since
he lost the 2012 presidential elec-
tion to Francois Hollande.
Mr Sarkozy also decried what
he called political interference
in the case a suggestion that
opponents like the ruling Social-
ists were behind his legal woes.
In our country, which is the
country of human rights and
the rule of law, there are things
that are being organised, Mr
Sarkozy said.
He said he was deeply
shocked by the charges, add-
ing that everything is being
done to give me an image that
is not truthful.
The time has come to explain,
to have my say, Sarkozy said.
Sarkozy, 59, was hit today with
charges including corruption and
inuence peddling after he was
quizzed for 15 hours by judges
investigating an alleged attempt
to interfere in judicial proceed-
ings in another case.
After the interrogation in a
Paris police station, Mr Sarkozy
was put before a judge in the
early hours of Wednesday.
The judge accepted the exam-
ining magistrates request for the
former president to be mis en
examen literally put under
investigation the nearest
equivalent of being charged in
the French legal system.
Mr Sarkozys longstanding
lawyer Thierry Herzog and sen-
ior magistrate Gilbert Azibert
were charged with the same
oences.
After the hearing, Sarkozy
was allowed to return to the
Paris home he shares with his
ex-supermodel wife Carla Bruni
and their young daughter, but he
can be recalled for questioning
at any time.
He was the rst former presi-
dent of France to be taken into
custody in a criminal probe but
not the rst to be charged with
corruption.
Jacques Chirac was convicted
in 2011 on graft charges but es-
caped prison on compassionate
grounds due to ill-health.
The charges against Sarkozy
carry a theoretical maximum
prison term of 10 years but
legal experts regard custodial
sentences in this case as un-
likely. (AFP)

WASHINGTON, Wednesday
A
new poll Wednesday
found President Barack
Obama, who is enduring
a tough second term, topping
a list of the worst US leaders
since World War II.
The survey, by the polling
institute at Quinnipiac Univer-
sity, revealed that 33 per cent
of those asked saw Obama as
the worst leader in the last 70
years. Twenty-eight per cent
picked his predecessor, Repub-
lican George W. Bush.
Quinnipiac said that 35 per
cent saw Republican Ronald
Reagan, president from 1981
to 1989, as the best US leader
since 1945, with 18 per cent
choosing Bill Clinton and 15
per cent going for the assas-
sinated John F. Kennedy.
Over the span of 69 years
of American history and 12
presidencies, President Barack
Obama finds himself with
President George W. Bush at
the bottom of the popularity
barrel, said Tim Malloy, as-
sistant director of polling for
Quinnipiac.
Forty-ve per cent of those
polled said that America
would have been better off
had Republican Mitt Romney
won the 2012 election, while
38 per cent said the country
would be worse o.
Presidents typically cap-
ture the most heat while they
are in oce, and many nd
that their spells in the White
House are reevaluated when
they have retired and are out
of Washingtons bitter partisan
crossre.
Mr Bush, who was deeply
unpopular at the end of his sec-
ond term has seen his ratings
edge up in recent years. Oth-
ers like Clinton were popular
on their last day in oce and
have seen their public opinion
ratings remain strong.
The poll appeared to show
a bias towards more recent
presidents. Only 13 per cent
said Richard Nixon, who re-
signed in disgrace, was seen
as the worst president. Jimmy
Carter, a one-term Democrat
whose 1981-85 presidency is
often pilloried, was seen as
the worst president by only
eight per cent.
The Quinnipiac poll was
consistent with other recent
surveys, showing Mr Obamas
job approval ratings touching
near historic lows of around
40 per cent.
A string of political con-
troversies and foreign policy
crises have sullied Obamas
reputation. The poll found that
by 54 to 44 per cent, voters be-
lieve the Obama administration
is not competent at running the
government.
Only 40 per cent of those
asked approved of how Obama
was handling the economy
and only 37 per cent backed
his management of foreign
policy. (AFP)

Clintons raised $1bn for politics in two decades
WASHINGTON, Wednesday
Bill and Hillary Clinton
helped raise more than one
billion dollars for politics
in the past two decades, a
major potential advantage
for the former secretary of
state as she weighs a 2016
White House bid, The Wall
Street Journal reported late
yesterday.
The formidable political
pair brought in these funds
through campaigns, paid
speeches and a network of
organizations advancing their
political and policy goals, The
Journal found.
And those deep ties po-
tentially give Mrs Clinton
a nancial advantage in the
2016 presidential election,
if she runs, and could bring
industry donors back to the
Democratic Party for the rst
time since Mr Clinton left the
White House.
While Republicans can
raise funds at similar levels,
they fret that Clinton, her
Democratic Partys likeliest
standard bearer as of now,
will get a lucrative early lead
in the next presidential race,
which is expected to total well
above the $2 billion spent in
2012, the report added.
Clinton Inc. is going to
be the most formidable fun-
draising operation for the
Democrats in the history of
the country. Period. Excla-
mation point, Rick Hohlt,
a lobbyist and fundraiser for
Republican Party presidential
candidates, told the Journal.
It sure causes concern.
As a whole, the Clintons
raised $2-3 billion from all
sources, including individu-
als, corporate contributors
and foreign governments, the
Journal reported. (AFP)

JUSTICE | Court upholds decision by procurement board
BY PAUL OGEMBA
@PaulOgemba
pogemba@ke.nationmedia.com
A
Chinese company has lost
its claim to the multi-bil-
lion shilling installation
of security surveillance cam-
eras in major towns across the
country.
Justice George Odunga of
the High Court ruled that the
Public Procurement Administra-
tive Review Board was justied
in upholding the governments
decision to cancel the tender
it awarded ZTE Corporations
Kenya Ltd, after realising that
the company had inated the
cost by more than Sh8 billion.
Justice Odunga said the com-
pany had not proved its claim on
the Sh14 billion contract awarded
to Safaricom last month and
that there was nothing to make
him interfere with the boards
decision.
There is no basis to nd that
the boards decision to cancel
the contract was illegal. Their
legitimate expectation cannot
override provisions of the law,
especially after the board made
a nding of the fact that they
exaggerated the amount, ruled
the judge.
The bid for installation of
security cameras was originally
restricted to six Chinese rms;
ALIT, ZTE Corporation, China
Xinshidai Company, AVIC In-
ternational Holdings, Huawei
Technologies Ltd and China
Electronics Engineering.
Two of the rms, ZTE Corpo-
ration and Huawei Technologies,
passed the preliminary technical
evaluation but after the nal test,
only ZTE Kenya Ltd qualied
to the next stage, which was
nancial evaluation.
The government then entered
into a contract with the company
to design, build, supply, install,
test and commission the national
surveillance, communication and
control system for the National
Police Service.
However, Huawei Technolo-
gies lodged a request for review
with the Public Procurement Ap-
peals and Review Board but it
was dismissed. It later moved
to court to challenge the deci-
sion. The company withdrew
the suit after it learnt that the
government had cancelled the
contract with ZTE Ltd.
The tender was annulled by
head of Civil Service at the
time, Mr Francis Kimemia,
who accused Internal Security
ministry ocials and the Chi-
nese rm of inating the bid by
Sh8.5 billion.
Aggrieved by the decision,
ZTE Kenya Ltd led a review
with the Public Procurement
Appeals and Review Board,
seeking to compel the govern-
ment to change their stand and
allow them to roll out the secu-
rity cameras project.
The review board, however,
dismissed the appeal, ruling
that the government was justied
in cancelling the contract after
realising it was inated and that
the public stood to lose billions
in a dubious contract.
It was then that the company
moved to the High Court to
challenge both the decision of
the review board and the govern-
ment to cancel its tender.

Justice
Odunga
Justice Odunga ruled that the
board was right and in any
event, the court had no juris-
diction to interfere with a just
ruling of a constitutionally
recognised tribunal.
When the law provides for
an alternative dispute resolu-
tion, parties must follow that
path and abide by its decision
or else the court has no busi-
ness mediating in a dispute
which is fairly settled, ruled
Justice Odunga. He said the
board did not require any
rocket science to establish
the ination and commended
it for going above board to
nd the facts surrounding the
tender instead of just relying
on the law.

The Kenya Police and Defence
forces will start sourcing leather
products, books and uniforms
from local manufacturers in a deal
brokered by the Industrialisation
ministry.
A tripartite agreement signed
by the Ministry of Interior and
Coordination of the National
Government, Ministry of Defence
and that of Industrialisation, aims
to provide a ready market for local
products. Most of the uniforms
and other essentials for the disci-
plined forces are imported.
Industrialisation Cabinet
Secretary Adan Mohamed said
the commitment would be a
manifestation of the Buy Kenya,
Build Kenya initiative, which has
for long been dogged by poor
enforcement.
We have held discussions on
concerns about quality, quantity
and standards, with the help of
Kenya National Bureau of Stand-
ards, everything is in place, said
Mr Mohamed at a media brieng
yesterday.
He said the agreement would
simplify the intricate procurement
procedure in government agencies
which in the end, result in high
costs of local products compared
to imports.
All other government procuring
agencies would be approached to
ensure they adhere to the initia-
tive of not importing what can
be procured locally, said Mr
Mohamed.
The initiative is part of the
Jubilee administrations strategy
of attracting investments in the
country by providing a ready
market for locally manufactured
goods and services.
The government is the single
biggest procurement entity of
both, estimated to be spending
about 50 per cent of its budget
on procurement.
We have held discussion
on concerns about
quality, quantity and
standards,

emand for higher compensa-
tion for land could more than
double the cost of settling
farmers away from the planned high
voltage lines relaying power from
the geothermal plant at Olkaria,
Naivasha.
In an interview with the Nation, En-
ergy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir
said much of the anticipated delivery
of the 280 megawatts faces hurdles
following huge compensation claims
by those living along the designated
route.
A total of 19 people out of 280 af-
fected along the route have rejected
set rates and want them raised three
fold, which if granted, would also
more than double the compensation
amount to over Sh4 billion.
Additionally, contractors have
started slapping daily penalties for
idle work as locals continue to block
the projects.
There was an individual who was
paid Sh26 million based on the ap-
proved rate of 30 per cent.
They now want to be paid at 85
per cent, which will see them paid
Sh65 million. The government had
set aside Sh1.9 billion. Any review of
compensation rates will push up the
amount to more than Sh4 billion,
said Mr Chirchir.
The problem has seen only 70
MW of the total capacity delivered,
leaving a huge balance idle because
people cant be moved. This is derail-
ing the project that was expected to
provide power supply reliably and
reduce costs.
The push for 280 MW is the single
biggest plant in the Jubilee administra-
tions target to generate an additional
5,000 MW over the next two and a
half years.
This will help cut the cost of power
by up to 40 per cent.

T
he World Bank has set
aside Sh17.3 billion to
be used in funding ICT
projects in 47 counties.
A roadmap for the Kenya
Transparency and Communi-
cations Infrastructure Project,
managed by the ICT Author-
ity, has been laid.
Once funding is released
to the government, it will
go towards improving serv-
ices, strengthening internal
processes in counties and
providing open data from each
region through technology.
According to World Bank
country director Diarietou
Gaye, part of the funding,
which was approved in March,
was to help counties lay
master plans for use in ICT
processes.
Sh2.6 billion approved for
ICT in March will specically
help Nairobi County in updat-
ing its revenue management
systems. It will also help
fund roadmaps for specic
counties towards ICT trans-
formation, said the banks
communication ocer Peter
Warutere through an email to
the Nation.
Part of the fund will also
strengthen ICT Authority
to better address county
changes.
He said the authority would
have to employ additional
project managers, obtain
more resources for open
data and get additional sta
for nance and procurement.
ICT Authority chief executive
Victor Kyalo said the authority
was awaiting the rst batch of
the funding to start the county
projects.
The counties are fully
prepared, with master plans
already formulated to roll
out in most of the identied
activities, an estimate of what
each county will receive will
also be communicated in due
time, said Mr Kyalo.
ICT reforms
The fund will be channelled
through the national govern-
ment to counties.
The entire project is part
of a regional drive that sup-
ports Kenya, Burundi and
Madagascar.
The transparency project
is funded by the banks
International Development
Association and is expected
to help expand national open
data in counties through ac-
tivities being implemented.
It is expected to make the
national and county govern-
ment closer as they engage
in ICT reforms that enhance
transparencies in their sys-
tems.
Sh17bn to fund ICT
projects in counties
Cash to nance

FUNDING | Kenya in bid to boost transparency
Meeting to boost cooking gas use
BY NATION REPORTER
The cooking gas industry will
hold talks with the Ministry of
Energy and Petroleum next
week to nd a way of cutting
cost of the product, its appli-
ances and accessories.
Kenya is among the ve Af-
rican countries that have been
chosen for the US-led bid to
increase the use of cooking gas
globally that was launched in
June 2012.
Other countries are Ghana,
Cameroon, Tanzania and
Uganda.
According Kenya uses very
little gas due to high cost
brought about by hitches in
the supply chain.
My ministry is engaging
with the industry and other
arms of government to chart
a sustainable way forward in re-
ducing the cost. A meeting has
been scheduled in the coming
week to discuss the issue, said
Energy and Petroleum Cabinet
Secretary Davis Chirchir.
He spoke in Nairobi yes-
terday while addressing
participants of the Africa
cooking gas summit organised
by the Petroleum Institute of
East Africa.

us to. The family has remained focused on excellence, hard work,
honesty and timeliness- the virtues he left us. His mentorship has
continued to work very well.

Angry Tusker players attacked
referee George Mwai who they ac-
cused of poor ociating after their
1-1 draw with Top Fry Nakuru in a
Kenyan Premier League match at Af-
raha Stadium yesterday. Tusker head
coach Francis Kimanzi also joined the
fray and remonstrated with the match
ocial and his rst assistant Stephen
Ngure at the end of the match.
The players mobbed and harangued
the referee while holding him hostage
for ve minutes before Administra-
tion Police stepped in and escorted
the referee to safety.
Amidst the confusion, Mwai ash
out a red card to Tuskers Osborne
Monday. On the eld of play, the brew-
ers were lucky to salvage a point from
Top Fry who led 1-0 at the break from
Peter Ngangas strike.
Tusker were made to wait until the
78th minute when second half substi-
tute Ismael Ndunga completed a ne
cross by Brian Osumba to spare them
the blushes. But Top Fry nearly scored
the match winner in the 85th minute
when Erastus Mwaniki goal-bound
shot cannoned o the upright.
At the Nyayo National Stadium,
wasteful AFC Leopards settled for a

Namibia, who got a bonus point from the

We worked on our defence for the last two

Paarwater said resting most of the play-

a tactical move. I wanted the players to stay
fresh for the last match, said Paarwater.
Djokovic into
semis, Murray
surrenders title
London
Novak Djokovic reached his 23rd
Grand Slam semi-nal and fth
in a row at Wimbledon yesterday
as the 2011 champion defeated
Croatias Marin Cilic for the 10th
time in 10 meetings.
Top seed Djokovic won 6-1, 3-
6, 6-7 (4/7), 6-2, 6-2 and will face
Bulgarian 11th seed Grigor Dim-
itrov, who knocked out defending
champion Andy Murray, for a place
in Sundays nal.
The six-time major winner went
level with Pete Sampras and Rafael
Nadal by making the last-four at a
major for the 23rd time.
Murray (above) was unlucky as
his reign as Wimbledon champion
came to a shock end as Dimitrov
clinched a sensational 6-1, 7-6 (7/
4), 6-2 win in the quarter-nals.
Murray had hoped to become
the rst British man to success-
fully defend the Wimbledon title
since Fred Perry in 1936, but the
Scot was completely out-classed in
a two-hour masterclass from 11th
seed Dimitrov on Centre Court.
The 27-year-olds unexpected
exit snapped his 17-match win-
ning streak at the All England
Club, a magical sequence which
had brought him Olympic gold
and a rst Wimbledon title, and
also ended his hopes of reaching
a sixth consecutive semi-nal at
the grasscourt Grand Slam.
Im very disappointed with
the way I started. I felt that gave
him condence at the beginning,
Murray said.
I felt ne in the warm-up but
got o to a bad start. Its a lot
easier for him to settle down
when hes two sets up.
He played a very solid match,
making few mistakes and a lot of
returns. I just wish Id made it
tougher for him. It wasnt a great
day. Dimitrov, 23, will play top
seed Novak Djokovic or Croatias
Marin Cilic on Friday for a place
in the nal.
I am excited and happy to win
through in straight sets. Its never
easy against Andy in front of his
home crowd but today I was fortu-
nate, Dimitrov said. (AFP)

The Kenya boxing team to the Com-
monwealth Games is on a mission to
restore the lost glory of the once famed
Hit Squad.
Although the team only managed
three medals (1 silver and 2 bronze)
at the last Commonwealth Games
in New Delhi, India four years ago,
head coach Albert Matito is condent
his charges will prove a point at the
Glasgow Games which get underway
on July 23.
We are denitely going to make
our presence felt in Glasgow. We have
been in training for the last four weeks
and I believe our eorts will yield re-
sults, Matito told Daily Nation Sport
yesterday. Our minimum target is ve
medals and I particularly expect good
performance from the male boxers,
Matito added.
The team of nine men and two
women relocated from the Math-
are Police Depot to the Safaricom
Kasarani Stadium at the weekend
where it will remain in residential
training for the next two weeks be-
fore jetting out on July 15.
We are happy with the conditions
at Kasarani and we have already
scheduled morning and evening daily
training sessions, the coach said.
In recent times, the Kenyan team
has always fallen short at the inter-
national stage with the coaches often
faulting the use of electronic scoring
system for the teams poor perform.
But according to coach Matito, that
is an issue that has been addressed
and the boxers should have no such
problems in Glasgow.

Origi just three hours from the nal
FAME BECKONS | After four wins, duel with worlds best player in Brasilia on Saturday will be the toughest
W
hisper it quietly but Divock
Origi is two games away
from playing in a Fifa World
Cup nal.
Just two matches.
In the crazy world of football,
nothing is an impossibility; moreso
an edition like the 2014 showpiece
in Brazil.
Origi and his Belgium team mates
had to dig deep to outlast USA in
the second round in one of the best
matches of a hugely thrilling tourna-
ment. But for a blinder of a game for
US keeper Tim Howard, Origi should
have been on the scoresheet with a
couple.
It was a night that belonged to
Howard though. The shot stopper
saved from Eden Hazard, Origi,
Dries Mertens and Kevin De Bruyne
en route to a World Cup record of 16
saves. It was hard on him to be on
the losing side after single-handedly
keeping the Americans in the game
and forcing extra time.
Up next for Belgium are Argentina
in the last eight. Should they nd a
means of ending Lionel Messis stay
in the competition, the Netherlands-
Costa Rica winner will play Marc
Wilmotss side in the semis.
Promoted to starting role
Such is the condence of Wilmots in
Origi that he promoted the teenager to
a starting role in the knockout stage.
Romelu Lukaku had to make do with
his place on the bench, though he
would come on in place of Origi and
electrify the extra time.
Despite not scoring, Origi didnt dis-
appoint. He tested Howard on many an
occasion but found the US custodian
enjoying an inspired night.
The Everton goalkeeper solely kept
his team in the game time and again.
It was Howard versus Belgium; his
hands, legs and body facing Belgiums
plethora of weaponry.

Rio de Janeiro
Costa Rica have been a World Cup
revelation, reaching the quarter-nals
for the rst time and their success has
proved an unexpected bonus for Lotto
Sport Italia.
The private sportswear rm has seen
sales of Costa Rica shirts rise 20-fold
as the Ticos qualied top of Group D,
ahead of three former champions, and
then beat Greece on penalties to make
the last eight.
It is a rare triumph for a smaller kit-
maker, the likes of which have been
increasingly squeezed out of the World
Cup with major brands like Nike, Adi-
das and Puma paying millions to hog
the stage at the worlds most watched
sporting event.
Lotto is struggling to keep up with
demand and says an extra 50,000 shirts
have been sold since Costa Rica won
their opening game against Uruguay. At
FIFAs online store the red home strip
is no longer available. (Reuters)
Costa Rica kitmaker Lotto records 20-fold sales increase
mature link-up play and an inclina-
tion to drop into channels and exploit
the spaces.
His ne turn of pace on more than
one occasion took him past his marker,
allowing him room to thread a ball or
two into the area for Mertens. Origi
did everything but score.
Wilmots ultimately took pride in
making the straight switch of Origi for
Lukaku that saw the latter create the
rst goal and grab the winner in a truly
engrossing 2-1 Belgian triumph.
Argentinas form will not have Bel-
gium running scared when the two
meet in Brasilia on Saturday; rather,
it will be a date with the worlds best
player, Messi, that will cause Wilmots
sleepless nights.
Belgium have been the better unit in
their four games and are not being car-
ried by the genius of individual talent
like the Argentines.
In a tournament that has seen in-
dividuals stand up to be counted, the
sides built around a team ethic should
be fancied as competition progresses.
While it is natural for the Belgians to
think thrice about the imminent task of
stopping Messi, Argentina will recall
how their superstars genius was nulli-
ed when they ran into the Germans at
the 2010 World Cup quarter-nals.
Then, like now, the team had been
single-handedly carried by Messi, even
though he did not score.
To protect the teenagers talent,
Wilmots might bench Origi for the
quarter-nals with a view to introducing
him in the latter stages of a match where
extra time is a strong possibility.
Meanwhile, the Cinderella run for
Origi and Belgium continues.
Brazil 2014 Samba W rld Cup
NOTEBOOK
ARCHITECTURE
State-of-the art arena
a sight to behold
The Arena De Sao Paulos ar-
chitectural design is unique. The
steel-built structure is the only
ground which is not enclosed in
the corners. From inside, you can
see the Corinthians-Itaquera train
station and the buildings from
the media tribune. In the three
matches I have watched here,
there was been an instant change
of weather that deed logic. One
moment it is ne sunny weather,
and then out of nowhere a cold
runs through you.
TAKING ADVANTAGE
Someone hiding tickets
as semi-nals beckon
No one knows which teams
will play in the 2014 Fifa World
Cup semi-nals. But it is virtually
impossible to get a bus and air
ticket from Rodoviara Novo Rio
station and Santos Dummont air-
port respectively to travel to the
World Cup semi-nals next week.
Which begs the question; who
has bought all these travel tick-
ets? It cant be neutrals. It cant
be overcondent fans of all teams
that reached the quarter nals.
Perhaps, a company somewhere
is hoarding the tickets.
RELIGION
Brazil is largely Catholic,
and the president leads
Brazil is a predominantly
catholic which is not surprising
given that Christ The Redeemer
is one of the countrys most
iconic tourist attractions. Roman
Catholicism accounts for 65 per
cent of the countrys religious be-
lief, which is about 125 million of
Brazils 200m people. Brazil is in-
deed the country with the largest
number of Catholics in the world.
Protestants are next with 22 per
cent. The Evangelical church has
in the last two decades made
inroads but will not be surpass-
ing the Catholics any time soon.
President Dilmar Vana Rousse
is also catholic.

it in swahili, mandarin or Rus-
sian. Diego Maradonas commer-
cials have been prominent as well

F
our-time footballer of the year Li-
onel Messis misring Argentina
and Belgium completed the line-
up for the World Cup quarter-nals
and will face each other in a repeat of
the 1986 World Cup semi-nal.
Their qualication on Tuesday
leaves the make-up of the quarter-
nals evenly balanced with four Latin
American sides and four Europeans,
giving the old continent a good
chance of nally triumphing in a
World Cup hosted in the Americas.
Both the Argentinians and Belgium
sealed their places with victories in
extra-time against Switzerland and
the United States respectively, though,
the South American giants perform-
ance left plenty question marks
hanging over whether they can add to
their two World Cup trophies.
The last one came in 1986, when like
the present team, they relied on the gen-
ius of one player, in the volatile Diego
Maradona, who all but singlehandedly
drove them to victory.
This time around the Belgians, featur-
ing Divock Origi, will be hoping they
cope better with the wizardry of Messi
than their predecessors did with Mara-
dona, whose double in the 2-0 defeat
dashed their dreams of a rst ever nal
appearance.
Glorious past
The Belgian-Argentinia clash on Sat-
urday in Brasilia is not the only one of
the quarter-nals that evokes memories
of a glorious past in terms of previous
match-ups.
For tomorrow two European titans,
Germany and France, face each other
in the appropriately historic setting of
the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro with the
French bidding to erase memories of
two semi-nal defeats in the 1980s at
the hands of what was then West Ger-
many. However, it is the 1982 semi-nal
that still rankles with many in France,
not only because they let a 3-1 lead slip
in extra-time to go out on penalties,
but also due to the infamous incident
when German goalkeeper Harald Schu-
machers shoulder charge left Patrick
Battison unconscious on the pitch.
Schumacher, himself, persists in
his defence that it was unintentional
although his one regret is he did not
attend to the prone Battiston immedi-
ately after the incident.
Indeed the 60-year-old told AFP he
feared that a similar incident could hap-
pen in tomorrows game. (AFP)
Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke has
given disgraced Uruguayan star Luis Suarez
credit for apologising over the biting inci-
dent that saw him expelled from the World
Cup.
Valcke, though, pointed out in an interview
with Brazilian television station SportTV
that Suarez apology had not gone as far as
accepting he had deliberately bitten Italian
defender Giorgio Chiellini in a group game
on June 24.
It is good he has apologised, said the
Frenchman.
He does not, however, accept that it was
intentional, he says it was an accident.
Valcke, who commented after the incident
he felt Suarez should seek professional help
as it was the third time he had been found
guilty of biting an opponent, said he could
not comment on how the apology could
aect Suarez appeal. Fifa handed down a
record nine international game suspension,
a four month global ban from footballl and
a six gure ne for the player.
SUAREZ GIVEN CREDIT FOR APOLOGY BY FIFA SECRETARY VALCKE
If Colombia had reached the World
Cup quarter-nals 20 years ago
the country might not have been
dragged through its international
shaming for the killing of World
Cup defender Andres Escobar.
Instead it will on Wednesday relive
the trauma of Escobars gunning
down in a Medellin discotheque
car park on July 2, 1994, 10 days
after he scored an own goal in a
World Cup group match against
the United States.
And it must get over the pain in
time for the national team to play
Brazil on Friday in its rst appear-
ance in a World Cup quarter-nal.
Escobars death has been widely
blamed on the fury of Colombian
drug lords at losing a gambling
fortune because of the countrys
World Cup exit. But there are
many theories. A Twitter campaign
was launched to honour Escobars
ahead of Wednesdays anniversary
and tomorrows game.

ONE GAME AT A TIME
Pumas dont dare
to dream of nal
Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella
said he did not dare to think about
a dream World Cup nal against
arch-rivals Brazil after they made it
into the quarter-nals on Tuesday.
Sabella said Argentina couldnt
aord to look beyond their next
match against either Belgium or
USA on Saturday after their nar-
row 1-0 win over Switzerland.
Our dream is to work for the next
match and try to move on to the
semi-nals. We dont look beyond
that, Sabella said.
We cant make the mistake of
trying to take two steps when we
can only take one step. Argentina
lifted the World Cup in 1978 and
1986 but winning the title in Rio de
Janeiro against arch-rivals Brazil
would be the stu of fantasy for
their fans.
Sabella said the elimination of
heavyweights Spain, Italy, England
and Portugal showed Argentina
could not take any opponents
lightly. Argentina could have been
the latest big team to fall but Angel
Di Marias strike two minutes before
the end of extra-time saved them
from a penalty shoot-out.
I believe this was a game we
deserved to win during the 90 min-
utes, Sabella said.

Redondo Beach
Belgium broke US hearts with
two extra-time goals in a 2-1
World Cup win Tuesday, but the
Americans depart footballs global
showcase having garnered a raft
of new fans back home.
Thousands turned out at Vet-
erans Park in Redondo Beach,
California, a coastal town just
south of Los Angeles, to watch
Jurgen Klinsmanns plucky men
battle Belgium for a quarter-nal
berth.
It was just one of the many
watch parties that have drawn
huge crowds in cities across the
country, and included not only
longtime fans of football and
the US team, but also those like
Jackie Marchand, who described
herself as a new soccer fan.
Marchand said her interest
had been piqued during the 2010
World Cup, but this year shes
found herself drawn more and
more to the drama and excite-
ment of this game a game that
has famously struggled for popu-
larity in sports-mad America.
Miss something
This demands attention, said
Marchand, a writer for childrens
television programs. You cant
turn away or you will miss some-
thing. Theres a joy in this game.
It makes people so happy. I think
it makes people happier than a lot
of other sports. The atmosphere
at the beachside venue was fes-
tive, many fans draped in US ags
or with their faces painted in the
stars and stripes.
They mingled eortlessly with
swimsuit-clad onlookers wander-
ing up from the beach to see what
the fuss was all about.
Pre-game chants of I Believe
That We Can Win! gave way to
gasps and groans at the close calls
for each side, the tension mount-
ing as full time approached and
neither the United States nor
Belgium had scored.
Collective sigh
When Belgiums Kevin De Bru-
yne nally broke the deadlock in
the 93rd minute, a collective sigh
seemed to escape the crowd, be-
fore deant chants of U-S-A
rang out once more.
Romelu Lukakus 105th-minute
strike to double the lead brought a
shocked hush, and had a few pack-
ing up their picnics and heading
for their cars.
Those that stayed were re-
warded with teenaged substitute
Julian Greens goal that halved the
decit keeping fans glued to
the match and cheering until the
nal whistle. The viewing party
was hosted by the Los Angeles
Galaxy, and Brendan Hannan,

Argentina on Tuesday ended Switzer-
lands World Cup run and brought to a
close the career of Ottmar Hitzfeld (left),
one of Europes greatest managers.
Hitzfeld, 65, was unable to overcome
Lionel Messis team in the World Cup last
16, a challenge complicated by news of the
death of his 81-year-old brother.
The German had said he would retire
after the World Cup. And unlike fellow
coaches Cesare Prandelli, Alberto Zac-
cheroni, Sabri Lamouchi, Stephen Keshi
and Luis Fernando Suarez, who all stepped
down after defeats, he leaves with his
reputation intact.
Its a World Cup and we were nearly at
a penalty shoot-out. That of course creates
a lot of tension. Unfortunately we didnt
make it but I think we can walk tall and
leave with our heads held high, Hitzfeld
said after the 1-0 defeat.
Der General, a trained mathematician
and once a formidable centre forward,
steps away after almost 30 years as a coach
and more than 40 years in football.
One of only four coaches to win the
Champions League with dierent clubs,
Hitzfeld also has seven German league
titles, two Swiss titles, three German
cups and three Swiss cups. Add to that
two Swiss titles and a Swiss cup as a
player and Hitzfelds trophy cabinet is
perhaps surpassed only by the great
Alex Ferguson.
One feature of Hitzfelds career is that
while Germany is his homeland, Switzer-
land has always been close to his heart.
He played most of his career in Swit-
zerland with Basel, Lugano and Luzern
and it was in that country that he had his
rst break in management, taking over
the reins at Zug and Aarau before making
his name at Grasshoppers. Such was his
success there that he caught the eye of
Borussia Dortmund and guided them to
two league titles. (AFP)

F
rance coach Didier Deschamps
has sought to temper growing
expectations generated by his
teams impressive run to the World
Cup quarter-nals.
Les Bleus defeated Nigeria 2-0 in
Mondays last 16 game in Brasilia to
set up a quarter-nal meeting with
Germany tomorrow.
Under Deschampss steady guidance,
France have risen majestically from the
ashes of the chaotic 2010 campaign in
South Africa.
But the skipper of the 1998 world
title-winning side was keeping his feet
rmly on the ground back at his squads
Brazil headquarters in Ribeirao Preto
on Tuesday.
Im a realist, my target, like my play-
ers, is Friday, he said the day after goals
from Paul Pogba and an own goal from
Joseph Yobo downed Nigeria.
Deschamps, 45, added: It doesnt
serve any purpose to look any further
ahead. The reality now is Germany
on Friday.
Im a pragmatist
Everyone can dream, including me,
but Im a pragmatist and a realist; Fri-
day is the only thing that counts.
Deschamps, who succeeded fellow
World Cup and Euro 2000 winner Lau-
rent Blanc as national coach after Euro
2012, rejected the notion that France
were favourites against Germany, but
at the same time made clear his team
werent going to Rio de Janeiros Ma-
racana as tourists.
Were going there to give it every-
thing weve got.
Reflecting on Frances progress
through to the last eight after topping
their rst round group he stated: We
havent made a mess of our World
Cup. Im very proud and the players
deserve it, its a huge pleasure for me
and my sta to be involved on a daily
basis with them and to manage them,
to be with them.
But were not going there (to Rio
de Janeiro) as tourists on Friday.
He downplayed any lingering sig-
nicance of the memorable 1982
World Cup semi-nal between the
two teams.
Attained notoriety
The game in Seville attained
notoriety when Germany keeper
Harald Schumacher shoulder-
charged Patrick Battiston,
leaving the Frenchman un-

said Tuesday that he was
shocked by reports that he
has resigned after his sides World

Keshi, whose side lost to France
in the last 16, insisted that nothing
has been decided.
What I said to my players
was that this was maybe my last
match at the helm of aairs in
the national team, because my
contract terminates with the
World Cup and I have not been
oered a new one, the 52-year-old
explained late Tuesday.
I was a bit shocked that the
global media went to town to say
I have called it quits with the na-
tional team. Resignations are not
done on the pages of newspapers,
but formally.
Keshis comments were re-
leased by the Nigerian teams
media ocier, Ben Alaiya.
Keshi did say that several
countries have expressed in-
terest in employing him after
Nigeria, including South Africa,
which he suggested was positive
for Nigerian football and their
coaches.
Asked about his next job move
before Nigerias closing rst round
game against Argentina he re-
plied: Ive had a lot of interest
from other countries, South Africa
is one of them.
I cannot conrm it, Im think-
ing now about this game, one of
the most important in my career.
Keshi, who captained his coun-
try at the 1994 World Cup, took
charge of Nigeria in 2011.
Last year he masterminded
their triumph at the Africa Cup
of Nations in South Africa.
He tendered his resignation
after that tournament but it was
rejected by the Nigerian Football
Federation, reports said.
Keshi paid tribute to his team
captain, veteran defender Joseph
Yobo, who has announced his
retirement from international
football after becoming the rst
Super Eagle to reach the 100 cap
milestone.
Congratulations to Joseph
Yobo on his 100 caps, he wrote

t has been one of the best
World Cups ever, packed
with goals, drama and
quality. Yet for all the en-
tertainment, not everyone
can be a star. Spain, England
and Italy are among the big
hitters dumped out of the
tournament early and, natu-
rally, there has been nger
pointing and recriminations.
Some players have re-
turned from Brazil with lower
reputations than when they
arrived.
Steven Gerrard is the Liv-
erpool and England captain,
Diego Costa has just cost
Chelsea 44 million and Iker
Casillas has 156 caps to his
name.
Yet they are among the
leading stars who have failed
to produce in the World Cup.
Diego Costa dominated the build-
up to Spains World Cup defence,
from the moment he chose to play
for the Europeans rather than
his native Brazil to his selec-
tion for the opening game
against the Netherlands
amid tness concerns.
His introduction into
the Spain squad coin-
cided with the downfall
of a team that won
their previous three
tournaments.
Costa never ap-
peared to develop an
understanding with
his team-mates and
was virtually anony-
mous in a clumsy
competitive debut as
Spain were smashed
5-1 by the Nether-
lands. In La Rojas
second group game,
the new Chelsea
man missed a golden
opportunity early in
the second-half to get
his side back in the
game.
Vicente Del Bosques senti-
mentality damaged Spain when
he chose to stick with Casillas
as his captain and goalkeeper
despite the fact he played
second fiddle to Diego
Lopez in La Liga.
Four years after
lifting the World
Cup, Casillas was
the embodiment of a
shambolic tournament
for Spain. Fresh from
almost costing Real
Madrid the Champi-
ons League nal, he
produced a horrible
performance in the
humiliating 5-1 defeat
to the Netherlands.
He was caught under
the ball for Stefan de
Vrij to put Holland
3-1 ahead before his
heavy touch gifted
Robin van Persie
the fourth. Casillas
remains a World Cup-
winning captain and a
legend with 156 caps,
but this tournament
should signal the end of
his international career.
Much was made before
the start of the World
Cup of Argentinas
deadly front three of
Lionel Messi, Sergio
Aguero and Gonzalo
Higuain.
While Messi has
been doing his
part, it certainly
hasnt panned
out as expected
for Higuain. The Napoli man
came into the tournament on
the back of an ankle problem
and he has played as though
he has six other injuries at the
same time. Higuains plod-
ding movement and lack of
sharpness has been a theme
of Argentinas matches,
with the 26-year-old failing
to get in dangerous posi-
tions and badly missing the
few chances that have fallen
his way. It says a lot that,
when drawing 0-0 with Iran
and struggling to break their
opponents down, Higuain
was substituted in the 76th
minute. He has been more
of a hindrance than a help
at times and the net eect is
that, with Aguero out through
injury, Messi must be feeling
he has to do it all alone.
It started well enough for
Balotelli when he headed
home the winner in Italys
2-1 victory over England in
their opener in Manaus.
Yet that was the last goal
the Azzurri scored at the
World Cup and Balotelli
ended the tournament
watching helplessly from
the bench as they were
eliminated following a 1-0
defeat to Uruguay.
Balotelli had been sub-
stituted at half-time in that
game, having failed to do
anything of note in the rst
45 minutes other than pick
up a booking to run the risk
of a red card.
The Milan striker had been
equally out of sorts in the 1-0
defeat to Costa Rica. Cesare
Prandelli resigned as Italy
coach after the tournament,
and he may well reect that
he should have picked Ciro
Immobile over a player with
an attitude problem who of-
fered virtually nothing.
DIEGO COSTA STEVEN GERRARD
Steven Gerrard has a
habit of digging his side
out of trouble when they
need him. He also has a
habit of making costly
mistakes.
The latter was the case
during a disastrous World
Cup campaign that is likely to
prompt the Liverpool midelders
retirement from international foot-
ball. Still reeling from the slip against
Chelsea in May that may have cost
his club the Premier League title,
Gerrards mistakes against Uruguay
ensured that Englands World Cup
ended in the group stage for the rst
time since 1958.
After a poor display in the defeat
to Italy in which he was outpassed
and overrun, Gerrard made errors
in the build-up to both Uruguay
goals in the 2-1 defeat in Sao
Paulo.
He blundered on the
halfway line with a weak
challenge in the lead up
to Luis Suarezs opener
and then headed the ball
straight to Suarez late on to
allow his Liverpool team-mate
to slam home the winner.

STANDING FIRM BETWEEN THE POSTS
Lionel Messi, Neymar and
Robin van Persie make the
headlines, but the World
Cups real heroes have been
goalkeepers like Tim Howard,
Guillermo Ochoa and Julio
Cesar who throw themselves
into the line of re.
Two words .. TIM HOWARD
#respect, was the simple
Twitter comment made by
Belgiums captain Vincent
Kompany within minutes of
his country nally beating the
United States in the last 16 on
Tuesday.
Belgiums Romelu Lukaku, who
hit the winning goal, and Dries
Mertens, both hugged Howard
at the end of their 120-minute
onslaught on the 35-year-old
Everton goalkeeper. Howards
16 saves, some at point blank
range, two spectacularly icked
over the crossbar, were a record
for a goalkeeper in a World Cup
match since 1966.
The US defence seemed un-
able to resist the Belgian attack
of Mertens, Divock Origi and
Eden Hazard. US coach Jurgen
Klinsmann said Howard kept
the team in the game right to
the end. The Americans had
chances to equalise right until
the nal seconds.
How Tim played tonight was
just phenomenal, Klinsmann
said. As the game went on, on
the back of Tims performance
we got back in the game.
Goalkeeper as libero: Ger-
manys Manuel Neuer (above)
has been hailed for rushing
out of his penalty area to clear
the ball as North African min-
nows Algeria poured forward
on Monday. He reacted like a
libero and protected us from
many situations that smelled of
danger, said Germany coach
Joachim Loew. Neuer has a
good job with Bayern Munich,
but for some of the other goal-
keepers, the brilliant perform-
ances could be a career saver.
Ochoa keeps Brazil at
bay: Mexicos Guillermo Ochoa
(above), who held Brazil at bay
for 90 minutes, was without a
club after his French side Ajac-
cio were relegated to the sec-
ond division and his contract
ran out last month.
One sprawling one-handed
save from a powerful header
by Brazil striker Neymar has
been compared to the legen-
dary stop by Englands Gordon
Banks against Brazils Pele at
the 1970 World Cup.
I feel really attered, Ochoa,
29, said of the comparison.
Of course Id rather have less
work, he added. His shift in
Fortaleza has earned interest
from English sides including
Liverpool, according to media
reports.
Lucky Rabbit: Navas
(above) has been hailed as his
countrys new Lucky Rabbit,
the nickname for Luis Gabelo
Conejo, who kept goal for
Costa Rica at the 1990 World
Cup nals. Having thwarted
Italy and Uruguay in landmark
group victories, Navas again
performed spectacular gym-
nastics as he punched away
a spot kick by Greeces Fanis
Gekas in a penalty shootout.
Navas who plays in Spain for
Levante said: I have already
faced great players and I am
not scared. Its a good chal-
lenge for me to play against
the best.
Cesar saves Brazil: Brazils
Julio Cesar (above) hopes his
two penalty shootout saves
against Chile will turn him from
a national villain to a respected
gure alongside the countrys
other football legends.
The 34-year-old has faced
national humiliation since his
mistake was blamed for Brazils
defeat to the Netherlands in the
2010 World Cup quarter nal.
Cesar revealed that he took a
religious cross, given to him
by his reserve Victor, when
he went into the goal for the
Chile shootout. He saved two
penalties and Chilean Gonzalo
Jaras kick came o a post and
just managed to stay out of
the goal.
Julio Cesar and the goalpost
save Brazil from humiliation at
home, said Folha de Sao Paulo
newspapers front page. After
the (2010) World Cup to be
labelled as the villain, it was
very bad for me, Cesar said. I
got the support of my family
who just supported me. This al-
lows me to have the necessary
strength to go forward, said
the emotional keeper ghting
back tears.
Maradona says could be next
coach of Venezuela: rgentine
great Diego Maradona has said
he could be the next coach
of Venezuela, the only South
American country that has
never made it to the World
Cup. Cesar Farias quit in No-
vember last year after the Ven-
ezuelan team, which is known
as the Vinotinto (Red Wine)
for its burgundy-colored kit,
missed out on the Brazil nals.
The Venezuelan Soccer Fed-
eration has not made any
announcements about a re-
placement despite rumours
that several coaches of local
teams are being considered.
I look for serious projects ...
and think that yes, if its with
security, then maybe, World
Cup winner Maradona said on
regional television network
Telesur, when asked about the
possibility.

hitters dumped out of the tournament early and, naturally, there has been nger pointing and recriminations
Brazil and the revelation of Origi
BY TIM SIMON
sportsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com
B
elgium booked themselves a
place in the World Cup quarter
nals with a thrilling but hard
fought 2-1 victory over the United
States after extra time.
The win sets up a mouth-watering
clash with a Lionel Messi-inspired
Argentina side who themselves
had earlier scraped through against
Switzerland in extra time thanks to
an Angel Di Maria strike.
A composed Kevin De Bruyne n-
ish was followed by a Romelu Lukaku
strike and although the Americans
piled on the pressure in the second
period of extra time, clawing one
back through a Julian Green volley,
the Belgians hung on.
But it was the man who Lukaku
replaced at the start of extra time
that caught the eye once again
for Belgium. Liverpool target
Divock Origi was handed a
start as the lone striker
after impressing in the
group stage of the
competition and was
the Red Devils
biggest threat
to a strong
Amer i can
ba c kl i ne
through-
out.
O r i g i
came on as
a substitute
in the group
phase in all three of
the Belgians matches,
scoring the winner against
Fabio Capellos Russia and im-
pressing, in particular, against South
Korea in the nal game of the group.
These performances helped put his
name on several top European clubs
radar, thus causing Liverpool to show
interest in buying him from his club
side, Lille.
Attempted eight take-ons
At Lille last season, Origi made 29
appearances but was used mainly as
a wide forward rather than a striker
as the French club looked to utilise
his pace. But in this tournament, he
has been used in a more central posi-
tion by Marc Wilmots. That fantastic
versatility will serve Liverpool well,
should they nalise the deal. Against
the USA, Origi was a menace and was
able to show o his speed and willing-
ness to dribble at defences, therefore
exploiting the space between the US
mideld and defence.
In total, he attempted eight take-ons,
which perhaps shows that his natural
position is as a winger. Origi has the
potential to become a top class player
if he improves on his decision mak-
ing. There is no harm in attempting
dribbles and trying to make something
happen but there were times when a
pass was the better option for the
forward. He is still a bit rough round
the edges.
Origis style also shows that a central
role is not his natural position. Despite
his tendency to look for possession in
wide areas, he managed to lead the line
extremely well on the day. The Belgian
forward worked the channels nicely,
made intelligent runs and was always
making the American defenders, who
were tremendous themselves, think
about where he was. He combined
this intelligence off the ball with
some smartness on it. Origi man-
aged to create three chances for his
teammates in the 90 minutes he was
on the pitch. While he also completed
93% of his passes overall, showing
his ability at holding the ball up and
retaining possession.
Despite Lukaku coming off the
bench to swing the game in Bel-
giums favour, Origi was mightily
impressive over the 90 minutes
and it seems Liverpool are getting a
fantastic, but raw, talent. He has the
potential to make it at the top level in
the Premier League should Brendan
Rodgers and his sta nurture him
correctly. (squawka.com)

Ps came face to face with
a catalogue of wastage
when they toured Judiciary
projects at the centre of their investi-
gations into massive corruption.
A cargo container converted into a
data centre at a cost Sh106 million,
a dilapidated maisonette bought
for Sh310 million, and a Sh70-mil-
lion lease for a building not in use,
one year later, confronted the MPs
from the Public Accounts Commit-
tee (PAC).
Chairman Ababu Namwamba said
the three projects only a fraction
of those done under questionable
procurement deals were part of
grave audit queries, according to Au-
ditor-General Edward Oukos report
into claims of corruption.
A cursory glance inside the con-
tainer data centre at the Supreme
Court gives the impression of a
cargo container converted into a
cheap storage facility. But a closer
look reveals a computer here, a laby-
rinth of electric wires there.
This containerised data centre
has neither been tested nor put to
use more than a year after it was pro-
cured, the supplier having received
80 per cent of the payment, said
Mr Namwamba.
The PAC chairman said the Judi-
ciary IT director had also not been
consulted before the facility was
acquired, and had said it was not
a priority. A cheaper option could
have been acquired in place of the
expensive data centre meant to
digitise Judiciary operations.
The house meant to be the o-
cial residence of Chief Justice Willy
Mutunga in Runda, is undergoing
massive renovations despite it hav-
ing cost Sh310 million.
PAC says there are questions
surrounding the Judiciary com-
mitting taxpayers money to buy
the residence and yet there was no
prior valuation, nor assessment by
the Judiciary tender committee to
ensure value for money.
It is evident the tender commit-
tee did not visit to evaluate before
closure of the transaction, he said.
He said it had come as shock that
even after spending the amount to
purchase the property, the Judici-
ary is spending even more money
to renovate a residence thought to
have been ready for occupancy.

N
ot too long ago, only the moneyed
lived in places like Lavington,
Kileleshwa, Kilimani and Langata
in Nairobi. The ambience in these
estates was enviable, with lots of greenery
and well-maintained roads. Besides, most
of the houses were either bungalows or
maisonettes in individual compounds, so
the residents enjoyed peace, privacy, and
security
However, this once serene atmosphere
has been rudely interrupted, with flats
springing up in some of these exclusive areas
as developers seek to make maximum use
of whatever land they have. In fact, the past
few years have seen places like Lavington
gradually lose their poshness and slowly
degenerate into crowded residential areas.
Churches and highrise buildings have
been slowly coming up in these areas, to
the chagrin of the residents, who are now
putting up a spirited ght to stem these
developments.
In Lavington, for instance, several
residents associations have been ghting
to prevent any further development, saying
it would lead to noise and disturbance.
Residents are frequently disturbed by
noise in the nearby Gatina village, they
complained in a letter to the Nairobi town
clerk dated 27 May, 2011.
The residents along Chalbi Drive have
been up in arms against the construction
of a church nearby. They argue that a
church will create a lot of human and motor
trac in the area, which is likely to lead to
encroachment on neighbouring properties
and road reserves.
They have also been fighting to stop
the construction of ats on a seven-acre
wetland in the area that was sold to a
private developer.
The wetland has been a subject of
controversy for a while now. In 2007, two
government regulatory agencies diered over
plans by Dyke Holdings Limited to construct
houses on it. For instance, on 21 May, 2007,
the then permanent secretary for Water and
Irrigation, Mr Mahmoud Maalim, wrote to
Dyke Holdings, saying: Your proposed
housing development would be construed
as an encroachment.
And on 29 April, 2013, some Lavington
residents wrote to the National Environment
Management Authority, protesting at the new
developments in the area and asking it to
intervene to prevent further degradation of
their environment: The area in which we
live is notable for the peaceful and quiet
environment and light trac, which makes
it pleasant for living, they wrote.
This has not stopped housing complexes
from continuing to spring up in the area.
What is even more remarkable is that near
every posh estate there is a slum.
Land expert Ibrahim Mwathane says the
trend is likely to continue, given the growing
need for labour.
The posh estates will always need certain
services, which are readily provided by the
people who live in the slums. When such
people live far from their workplaces, they
end up putting structures on the nearest
unused land, as is currently happening,
he says.
It is a fast-growing trend and residents
of high-end estates in town now know that
waking up to the sight of corrugated iron
makeshift shanties next to their architectural
beauties every morning is a reality.
The expansion of shanties (commonly
known as vijiji) in these estates is going
to be a thorn in the esh of the auent
residents for a long time to come.
It is not just the exclusive estates that have
suered due to this negative development.
The situation is even worse in what were
once nice and clean areas like Buruburu
and Langata. Those who have lived in
Nairobi for a long time will tell you that
Buruburu estate was once a favourite of the
upper middle class and those living there
were considered to be doing pretty well.
Indeed, many fresh university graduates
got together to share houses in the estate
because it was prestigious to live there.
But Buruburu is now a pale shadow of
its former self, with some of the houses
having undergone extensive modications,
making them barely recognisable. Thanks
to additions commonly referred to as
extensions, some of the compounds are
crowded and the once well-maintained
public areas are now covered with piles
of garbage. The estate has been invaded
by hawkers, and in some sections security
is so bad that you can be robbed even
during the day.
The original, neatly trimmed
hedges have been replaced with
perimeter walls with spikes or
pieces of broken glass on top to
provide security for the multi-storied
extensions landlords have built next
to the main houses in their quest
to earn more money in rents.
The situation is even worse in Langata,
where a slum sits smack in the middle of the
space around which Southlands, Park 1 and
Park 2, and Civil Servants estates are built.
The Southlands kijiji, is giving the residents
of the neighbouring estates sleepless nights.
A walk along the road between the slum and
the estates gives one a feel of just how bad
the situation is. Burst sewers ow by the
road, which is a beehive of activity, with a
host of wines and spirits shops attracting
customers who become a nuisance once they
have taken one bottle too many.
Benson Nyangori, the chairman of Park
Despite complaints by residents in
areas where the slums have become
a nuisance, experts say eviction is
not a solution since it will not only be
dicult to implement, it might break
the labour chain. And with demand
for labour increasing, more people are
likely to be attracted to the informal
settlements, aggravating the situation

Expect more shanties in the foreseeable future
1 Estate, says the slum has turned their
lives upside down, adding that he does not
understand how people can be allowed to
encroach on someone elses property.
These people have put up shanties right
next to our perimeter walls and gates.
They have even tapped our electricity and
we constantly suffer power surges, he
complains.
He adds that the walls now serve as urinals
and dumping sites for the slum dwellers,
which leaves an overwhelming stench around
the area. An area resident who insisted on
going by just one name, Mike, recalls the
areas pleasant past with nostalgia. I
remember the days when we would pass
through the now occupied land to go to the
neighbouring estate. Try that now and see
what happens to your nice shirt.
Thanks to the slum invasion, some
Langata residents are moving out. The
once-favoured estates are no longer the
paradise they once were, not only because
of the deteriorating security, but also because
of environmental issues. Burst sewers, now
a common sight, take forever to repair and
the once-empty spaces are now crowded
with all sorts of structures.

Expect more shanties in the foreseeable future
Not surprisingly, there are frequent
altercations between the slum dwellers
and the residents of the neighbouring
estates.
But even as the residents of these
estates cry out for help from county
ocials, experts say that, if anything,
the trend is likely to continue in the
foreseeable future.
Mwathane, the chairman of the
Land Development and Governance
Institute, says that as the need for
labour rises, so do the informal
settlements attract more people.
These estates are like magnets in
attracting labour, and the symbiotic
relationship has been noticed in the
human settlement, he says.
He notes that, although evicting the
slum dwellers might seem like a good
solution, it would not be easy and could
break the labour chain.
Eviction might not be the best
option in dealing with this prevalent
problem. These slums are the
equivalent of dormitories for those
supplying labour to the high-end
estates, he says.
Surveyors and planners say these
settlements are undermining the status
of the estates.
Interestingly, despite the fears
expressed by residents around
Southlands slum, Langata police boss
Elijah Maina says cases of insecurity
are rare in the area.
I would not dismiss fears that
the kijiji is a potential security threat
ohand, but so far things have been
calm, he said.
The slum dwellers insist that they
have not encroached on anyones land.
The chairman of their association,
Abdulahi Ahmed, claims that the land
rightfully belongs to them.
We have been here for more than
the 12 years, as stipulated by law before
one claims ownership of a parcel of
land. This land now belongs to us,
asserts Abdul, as he is popularly
known.
Prepared to ght
The slum dwellers base their
argument on Section Seven of the
Limitations of Actions Act, which
states that an action may not be
brought by any person to recover
land after the end of 12 years from
the date on which the right of action
accrued to him or, if it rst accrued to
some person through whom he claims,
to that person. Abdul, and the other
settlers are prepared to put up a ght
to resist any attempts to evict them.
He denies that the slum residents
are a nuisance to the residents of the
neighbouring estates, instead blaming
the residents for their own woes.
Take for example their complaints
about robbery. Do you expect a poor
man to steal from anyone? he asks.
When that rich child who knows
only a lavish lifestyle wakes up to the
harsh reality that it is no more, they
will resort to stealing. But we, the poor,
are blamed, he reasons.
Mr Elijah Ayieko, who has lived in
Southlands Estate for a long time, says
that not all kijiji people are bad, but
acknowledges that there are a few who
cause insecurity.
With the kijiji here, you cannot
talk on your phone freely before
somebody knocks it out of your hand,
he lamented.
He adds that there has been a sharp
decline in moral behaviour, with
prostitution becoming a major activity
in the slum in the evening. He says it
is sad to see girls as young as 12 and
13 being exposed to prostitution.
Ayieko and other estate chairmen
say their pleas to county ocials to
have businesses that are close to the
road removed have gone unheeded.
In a bid to upgrade slums, the
government signed a memorandum
of understanding with the UN Habitat
in 2003 to improve the livelihood of
almost 1.6 million households living
in the slums it is estimated that
there will be 5.3 million slum dwellers
by 2020.
The Kenya Slum Upgrade
Programme, initiated in 2001, is
expected to cost $13 billion (Sh884
billion).
The programme entails a variety
of activities, including community
mobilisation, preparation of town
development plans, solid waste
management, and improvement of
physical shelter.
In 2011, the government initiated
the Kenya Informal Settlement
Improvement Project.
According to an internet report
on the programme, the government
is expected to manage the project
while the Ministry of Housing and the
relevant local authorities implement
it.

DECORATING TRENDS are dynamic, but some people remain
rmly stuck in the past. When redecorating your living room, avoid
items that take away from, rather than add to, the look. Below are
things to avoid.
A calendar
We now have them on our mobile handsets, diaries, and
planners, so hanging one on the wall in the living room serves no
purpose. Besides, it does not add to the rooms aesthetical appeal.
Crocheted furniture covers
Couches and sofas come with their own covers, so they do not
need additional ones. For those who cannot aord leather seats
or would not want to invest in them but have small children who
might mess them up, there are fabric options that come with
cushion covers that are removable and washable. So, leave your
crocheted sofa covers where they belong in the past.
Faux or plastic greenery
There is faux greenery that might still look good in the home,
but the plastic option is an absolute no-no. The style of faux
greenery has changed with time and options such as palm trees
need to go. Small-leafed shrubs are ne because they do not
spread all over the place the way baskets of ivy and other vines we
once used. Also, get rid of dried oral arrangements because they
only attract dust and might even sprout cobwebs.
Clutter
Clutter does not count as dcor. Too many things in the living
room are, well, just too many. Do not buy items just to ll a space
or because they look good. Some accessories have no aesthetic
value and only take up space. It is better to have a bare table than
one stacked with magazines.
Also, when you buy something new, remove the one it is
replacing. If something no longer works, sell or donate it. When
buying an item, consider its potential use; buying something on
impulse because it looks good but is not functional contributes a
lot to the clutter in our homes. The same goes for collections of
dcor accessories. Grouping of dcor accessories is a great way
to decorate interiors or exteriors, but when the grouping does not
oer any coordination, it becomes clutter.
Too many couch pillows
They will not impress your visitors since there will be hardly any
place for them to sit. A few are ne to add colour and pattern and
still be functional, but always remember that decorative pillows
should express and support your design style.
Artwork
Gone are the days when pictures of adorable children bottle
feeding a rabbit or cute puppies printed on the background of a
magnicent looking house with an inspirational message written
at the bottom was considered art.
Modern art has revolutionised into beautifully painted,
canvassed, sculpted art pieces that depict local or internationally
renowned themes. We no longer need to visit the art museums
to enjoy Kenyan culture in artwork since we can have it right at
home. However, moderation is the way to go. One art piece on
a focal wall will do. The same should apply to sculptures and
carvings. Then, too many mismatched pieces make the home look
like a gallery or an art show.
Crowded family photos
They are a dcor disaster. They are also often in mismatched
frames of varying sizes and look untidy, especially when the space
is not enough and the front ones block the ones at the back.
Two or three portraits of the same size and frames in the
hallway or above a table will do. Alternatively, use one big portrait
with all family members in it.
Teddy bears
There was a time they were fashionable as accessories but
nowadays, they should be restricted to their primary use as
childrens playthings.
Exposed electrical cords
Never allow a dark cord to be seen across a white wall, or vice
versa. If the outlet is too far, use an extension cord so that the cord
can lie on the oor near the baseboard and move up the wall from
just below the outlet.

M
any parents with young
children postpone having
stylish dcor until the young
ones are older. So they use
rundown pieces or dorm-room hand-
me-downs which can stand a lot of
abuse. However, this makes a house
look more like a day care centre than a
home. But one does not have to adopt
this look as there are child-resistant,
comfortable, and attractive ways of
decorating.
When organising child-friendly dcor,
involve the children so that you know
what they would like to see in a room
or let them choose a piece of artwork
or paint colour they would like for
a particular decoration. This way,
they will feel they own a particular
item and would think twice before
destroying it.
Avoid fancy dcor items as these only
arouse childrens curiosity. There are
simple, casual, and comfortable dcor
pieces that also greatly enhance the
look in a home and are child-friendly.
These include couches and chairs
with skirting, which attract dust, pet
hair, or dirty shoe prints. The same
goes for fabric-covered tables as the
child may tug at the fabric and send
everything crashing to the floor,
leading to accidents such as burns if
there was a mug of hot liquid placed
on the table.
There are also stylish vintage items
and contemporary pieces with a
slightly weathered look that survive
children more readily than precious
antiques or new items, and still look
good. Whatever decorating style you
choose, it should be low-maintenance
since there might be little time to u
pillows or primp curtains in a house
with young children.
For entries, hallways, and family
rooms, look for ooring options that
are easy to clean and which do not
become slippery when wet. There
are varieties of tile options, wood,
laminate, and linoleum that work well
in such areas.
Whether you have wooden oors or
wall-to-wall carpeting, area rugs can
warm a space. Wall-to-wall carpets
provide good padding for babies who
are learning to crawl and toddlers,
although they are dicult to keep
clean and looking good all the
time.
It is also advisable to have rugs
or carpets in medium to dark tones,
which do not show stains easily. Jute,
sea grass, or sisal rugs add texture and
are incredibly durable, making them
great for heavy-trac areas. For a softer
landing, try an all-wool or wool blend
rug, which wears well and is pretty
stain-resistant.
You should also consider colour,
pattern, and texture when decorating
a child-friendly environment. So, forget
the stylish white silk couch and instead
opt for an alternative in a vibrant
colour with a bit of pattern and/or a
touchable texture. These features will
help camouage the inevitable spills,
ngerprints, and other mishaps and
still keep the home looking stylish.
The same principle should
apply to the walls and
oor as well. If you do not
like bold patterns, you can try a
softly feathered nish on a couch
or rug.

always bear in mind that colour appears
lighter on larger surfaces, so a deeper
shade on walls would suce.
As for furniture, it is advisable to buy
heavy, solid, hardwood pieces that are
rmly screwed or glued. Place them
close to walls so that they remain sturdy
even is some mischievous child jumps
from one to another.
Such pieces will stand years of use
and abuse, and can be reupholstered
to keep them looking stylish once the
children are more mature.
You can use classy, dark-coloured,
tting slip covers to protect the couches
from dirt and staining by children, since
you cannot monitor their every move.
In this regard, go for heavy fabrics
with a at weave since they hold up
much better than lightweight or looped
fabrics. Among the ones that are easy
to care for and which will hide stains
are vinyl, twill, denim, velvet, wool,
and other natural fabrics with a hint
of synthetic bre included for added
toughness.
Walls take a beating with young
ones around, especially if they are just
learning to write. But you do not have
to go incur the expense of painting your
walls when you have children of this age.
Providing a chalkboard will save you
from this headache. In addition, you can
also have some drawing books.
To be able to keep children under
control without restricting their
activities, create space for them by
carving out areas in common rooms
where they can do the things they
enjoy. After all, part of making the
home family-friendly is welcoming
children and their stu into shared
spaces instead of relegating them to
bedrooms.
Consequently, you can keep
furnishings to a minimum or on one
side when the children are young to
preserve space for play.
If yours is a family that enjoys games,
you can set up a game table and chairs
in a corner of the family room or have
a large coee table around which you
can all gather on game nights.
Leave an open area for gymnastic
junior to practise cartwheels, a cosy
nook for the bookworm to curl up with
their favourite book, and a centrally
located work table for the talkative
budding artist.
Remember, when you encourage your
child to touch certain things, they will
be less tempted to get their hands on
those they are not supposed to.
Finally, incorporate storage boxes
in the childrens rooms to encourage
them to be tidy. If you help them tidy
up, it soon becomes a habit.
Avoid fancy items.
There are simple, casual
and comfortable dcor
pieces that enhance the
look in your home and
are also child-friendly

uring this cold and
grey season, a home
could do with a bit of
brightening up and
one sure re way of bringing
a space to life is by adding
flowers. Many homeowners
tend to use flowers only
occasionally, such as when
they have guests, and only in
the living room, but owers can
be used to decorate a home
any time of the year. Here are
a few ways to use owers to
bring some sunshine into
your home.
Potpourri plus one
While potpourri spray is an
easy and appropriate way of
adding fragrance in your toilet.
You can jazz up things a little
by buying a decorative bowl
and basket and replacing the
spray with good old-fashioned
potpourri petals. The next step
in making your toilet beautiful
is having a simple, inexpensive
metal milking bucket topped
with a ball of owers such as
inexpensive carnations.
Living la vida ora
The living room is obviously,
and quite naturally, the rst
place that owers are placed
but quite often because of the
need to change the owers,
it can be expensive to buy a
bunch every week. To take care
of this problem, use owers in
a dierent way by framing
a large abstract oil painting of
owers on your living rooms
focal wall. Preferably, pick a
painting with warm orange
and brown colours as these
are versatile and will look
good against dark-coloured
furniture.
Breathe in
After a long day, nothing
beats walking into a tranquil
and welcoming bedroom.
Placing a bunch of flowers
in a bold-coloured vase on
your bedside table with
some jasmine will make your
bedroom a heavenly delight
as jasmine owers open up at
night and release the sweetest
fragrance. Another way to use
owers in your bedroom is by
placing two articial orchids
in white ceramic vases on your
vanity table alongside some
large, round white candles.
A hue that would especially
complement the orchids is a
pastel blue, preferably on your
walls. Your furniture should be
stark white, and your bedding
should also be light-coloured.
Bottled magic
Another place to use owers
is the bathroom. Use a couple
of coloured apothecary bottles
some good colour choices
would be blue, red, or green.
Fill the bottles with long-
stemmed articial owers of
contrasting hues. If you have a
bathtub, then you could place a
large glass mason jar with your
favourite colour of lilies and tie
a bow in a strip of decorative
ribbon around the vessel.
Work beautiful
If you are like many 21st
century homeowners who
have a working space in their
homes, then you will be happy
to know that you can bring life
to your home oce space. Go
minimalist and use a square
vase filled with white roses
on your work desk.
Look ahead
For your guest room, if you
can afford it, replace your
current headboard with a
coloured fabric one.
A good idea here is to paint
the walls neon yellow or green
and juxtapose the room with a
headboard with the traditional
English rose print.
Growing teens
If you have a teenage girl
who needs an inexpensive
room makeover, you can use
a vinyl decal of a ower just
above her bed to add some
oral drama to the room.
Babys garden
Granted, babies and owers
do not go hand in hand as little
ones are sensitive to allergens,
but you can still add some oral
style to your babys space/
nursery. Use some tough fabric
like coloured khaki and buttons
to make some oversized fabric
owers, the largest of which
you can place just above the
crib. You can sew the rest on
a cushion to place on your
nursing chair.
Cooking in style
Believe it or not, owers can
also be used in the kitchen. Use
a large crystal vase lled with
classic red roses and some
vintage glass cookie to
make your kitchen look even
more inviting.
Now, go ahead and bring
owers into your home.
The cold season
is with us, and
our houses feel
dull and dreary. A
few owers here
and there will jazz
up your home by
adding a dash of
colour and warmth
Use ower power to brighten your home

n order to reduce global warming, which
has become a universal concern, people
are turning to organic and renewable
resources that are also environmentally
friendly in home dcor. Bamboo is one such
option. It was rst used in the home by
the Japanese and Chinese hundreds of
years ago, but it is only just catching on
in Kenya. Bamboo not only adds aesthetic
appeal to a homes interiors, it also helps
save our forests and environment. As
bamboo continues to grow in popularity
as a versatile alternative to hardwoods
and synthetic materials in all sorts of
applications, it is also becoming a hot
trend in interior decorating.
Bamboo is a type of grass that is tough,
lightweight, and exible.
Indeed, its strength compares favourably
with many hardwoods while providing
environmentally-conscious homeowners
a green choice that not only looks great,
but is also durable. This fast-growing plant
does not harm the environment since it
can easily be re-grown.
It is also more easily available than wood
options such as teak and other hardwoods
that take 20 to 30 years to be ready for
use since it takes about three to ve years
to mature.
Those who prefer the warm tones of
traditional hardwoods but do not want to
contribute to deforestation can have it both
ways by using bamboo ooring, furniture,
wall treatments, cabinetry, decorations, and
interior accessories.
Homeowners and interior decorators
looking for distinctive and durable home
furnishings from renewable sources have
found bamboo to be the perfect solution
and manufacturers are responding by
introducing new and innovative bamboo
products to the market.
They have also found that bamboo home
decorating products do not warp or cup,
the way some hardwoods do when exposed
to dierent levels of humidity.
Bamboo interior design is not dicult
to achieve and there are innumerable
variations of dcor that one can achieve
with this plant.
Flooring
Bamboo ooring has become a great
alternative to wood, especially since
timber is becoming increasingly scarce. Use
of bamboo tiles for ooring is becoming
common, but for a unique alternative that is
also stylish and gives a nished appearance,
use bamboo and its product range such as
parquet and boards.
At a glance, bamboo might look weak
but it is actually very sturdy and is one
of the best ooring materials available. It
can be widely used in interior decoration
since its texture and patterns distinguish it
from wood. It is lighter in weight than oak,
stronger than maple, and brighter than pine.
It also feels pleasant underfoot and can last
a long time with the right maintenance.
Besides, it can be used in a variety of areas,
given that its rate of expansion is much
lower than that of hardwoods.
Bamboos stability and moisture
resistance are some of its outstanding
advantages. It also comes laminated,
which greatly reduces gapping, cupping,
and warping.
Blinds
One of the most popular uses of bamboo
is in window and door blinds. Blinds are
important in providing privacy and add
to the aesthetics of interiors. Organic
materials are increasingly being used
to increase visual appeal in windows
treatments, and bamboo blinds are
providing just that. What is more, it works
just as well as plastic or vinyl since it can
be rolled up.
Bamboo blinds also provide a harder
and more solid cover for the window, are
light, easy to clean, and come in a variety
of colours and styles. They also allow one
to choose how much sunlight to let into
a room.
Those who like an exotic look in the
living room or home oce can opt for
bamboo window treatment. Also tropical-
themed houses can integrate bamboo and
wooden blinds instead of plastic or vinyl
blinds. Better still, bamboo blinds can
be seamlessly matched with traditional
or modern dcor.
Bedroom
Bamboo beds are an excellent way to
add a natural look and feel to the bedroom.
They are strong but lightweight and can
easily be rearranged to give the room a
dierent look. They also come in many
beautiful styles and shapes.
Living room furniture
Bamboo living room furniture is gaining
popularity across the world, although not
as fast in Kenya. They are as stylish as
they are eco-friendly and are rich in exotic
features, making them stand out compared
with wooden furniture.
Room dividers
For those with an open oor plan home,
bamboo room dividers provide a great way
of separating each area in the house. If
you have a small house, it is advisable to
avoid having solid walls since they make the
rooms look small. A bamboo room divider
can also be used to hide unsightly areas,
ensure privacy where it is needed, and also
create extra space. They come in dierent
styles to suit diverse types of home dcor,
whether traditional or modern.

MPS WANT COUNTIES
TO HANDLE LAND
ISSUES
Parliament is seeking an amendment of the
National Land Commission (Amendment) Bill,
2014, to scrap county land boards.
The amendments will strip the boards of the
powers to allocate land, change and extend
use, sub-divide public land and renew leases,
which the boards were poised to assume.
These powers will be assumed by county
governments.
The commission has been recruiting board
members across the country for the last two
months, a move that will cost the Treasury
Sh400 million.
Some people see the amendment as a move
to emasculate the NLC toothless and as part
of the ongoing tussle between Lands Cabinet
Secretary Charity Ngilu and the commission.
The commission has since obtained an
injunction from the Supreme Court putting
on hold changes to the law until its case is
determined.
LUKENYA TO GET 600
HOUSES IN TWO YEARS
Fountain Enterprise Programme Holdings
plans to put up 600 housing units in Lukenya
within the next two years.
This is the rst phase of a project known as
Kisima Park, which entails the construction of
2,039 residential maisonettes and bungalows
on a 400-acre piece at a cost of Sh25 billion.
It bought the land in 2012 for more than Sh1
billion.
The project will also see the company build
a school, shopping mall, hotel, hospital and drill
a borehole.
The 600 houses are expected to cost
between Sh5.8 billion and Sh12.6 million.
The company will not use shareholder funds
for the project, but will seek external nancing
instead.
HOME AFRIKA EYES
NIGERIAN MARKET
NSE-listed real estate rm Home Afrika
is working the on the details of how to
implement a Sh1 billion project in Nigeria.
The company has entered into a deal with
a Nigerian rm, which will see it develop 200
houses in Lagos.
Home Afrika will provide technical and
nancial input while the Nigerian rm will
provide the land.
The houses are targeted at the growing
middle-class in a country that has a decit of
17 million housing units.
Locally, the rm has indicated that it will be
issuing a bond to nance its projects. However,
it is yet to release the details as it awaits the
green light from the Capital Markets Authority.
Some of its local projects are Migaa
Development in Kiambu, Llango in Kwale
County and Lakeview Heights in Kisumu.
ANOTHER HIGH-CLASS
HOTEL FOR WESTLANDS
Imaran Group, the owners of Imperial
Bank, plan to construct a Sh2.2 billion hotel in
Westlands by July next year.
The 12-storey hotel will be built in
partnership with Malaysia-based hotel chain
Tune Hotels.
Customers in the 280-room hotel will pay
only for what they use, which means that
extra items like towels and premium television
channels will attract an additional charge.
This is the latest hotel investment in
Westlands, which already boasts the
prestigious Sankara and Villa Rosa Kempinski
hotels.
The commercial node has also seen
development of multiple oce blocks like
Delta Plaza, while corporates like Imperial
Bank, Safaricom, Barclays, Standard Chartered
and PwC have set up base there.

Crown Paints has announced a stra-
tegic partnership with Pidilite Industries
for the distribution of Fevicol adhesives
in the local market. Fevicol Hi-Per is a
high-performance white adhesive with
cellu-weld technology that creates a
weld-like bond. It is also the rst water-
based synthetic resin adhesive for the
local furniture industry and is ideal for
use in areas where exposure to water is
high, such as in bathrooms and kitchens.
It is easy to apply and free of toluene
and benzene solvents, which are harmful
when inhaled and cause blisters on the
hands after prolonged use.
Speaking during the launch of the
product, Crown Paints CEO, Mr Rakesh
Rao, said the two companies would
conduct training for carpenters across

introduce them to new trends in the mar-
ket and also teach them how they can
expand and sustain their businesses to
meet the growing demand in the prop-
erty sector
Pidilite Industries president, sales and
marketing (Middle East and Africa), Mr
Shankha Banerjee, said Kenya was a
key market with a lot of potential that
needed to be explored. We believe in
understanding the evolving needs of the
consumer and then designing special
products for the market, he said. In
Kenya we will be introducing a wide
range of specially designed products
based on consumer insights, wood used,
weather conditions, and application
areas. We are condent that innovation
spurred by our robust research and de-
velopment and aggressive marketing will
help us meet the demands specic to the
Kenyan market.
In another development, Crown Paints
has adopted a mark of identity, A Touch
of Kenya, which was developed by
the Brand Kenya Board to enhance the
competitiveness of Kenyas products and
services.
The Brand Kenya Board recognises
Crown Paints for choosing Kenya as the
companys home. Indeed, as the lead-
ing economy in East Africa, its strategic
location and well-developed business
infrastructure is a natural choice for
investors, with many international rms
making it their regional hub, said Mrs
Mary Kimonye, Brand Kenyas CEO, dur-
ing the launch.
Crown Paints is positioning itself to
reap from the increased demand in the
region for its products, especially in the
premium category, Mr Rao said.
The company has also announced a
Sh300 million investment in Tanzania to
grow its market share in the region.

A few days later,
Grandfather was sitting
under the big tree
with all the pages he
had already written.He
began to go through
each one. Now and
then he stopped at a
page, picked up his pen
and wrote something
before continuing his
journey through the
pages, smiling from
time to time.
Suddenly a gust of
wind swooped down
and blew away the top
pages. Grandfather
got up and found a
stone to weigh down
the remaining pages.
Then he collected the
scattered papers. After
making sure they were
in their right order and
safely weighted down
under the stone, he
took up his writing
pad and continued his
story.

Dear Martha.We
have almost come to
the end of our story. But
I hope this letter will be
the beginning of many
wonderful memories of
him by you and children
ever ywhere! Sadl y,
Oginga died peacefully
at sunset on 20th
January 1994 at Aga
Khan Hospital in
Kisumu.
Sunset is the time of
the day that respected
Luo elders are expected
to die. And when you
think about it, you see
the signicance. The
sun rises and journeys
the whole day then sets
as the day is ending just
like the life of our hero.
Ogingas birth was
like the Sun rising.
When he reached his
zenith, he struggled
to liberate the Kenyan
people. When he
reached the eventide of
his life, he sank below
the horizon just like the
sun. That is how a man
dies at a ripe old age,
just as I expect to.

WHILE MANY people leave
university in debt, we would
like to commend you for de-
veloping a saving culture at
an early age.
Money market invest-
ments mature within a year
and often include Treasury
bills issued by the govern-
ment through the Central
Bank of Kenya, fixed de-
posits at commercial banks,
commercial paper issued by
blue-chip companies, and
money market funds in unit
trusts.
However, unit trust money
market funds dier when it
comes to minimum amount
requirements and terms and
conditions.
For this reason, it is advis-
able that you shop around
for the ones most appropri-
ate, given your savings and
time period.
We would, therefore, rec-
ommend that you try unit
trust money market funds.
Most of them do not
require high minimum
amounts to get started and
they are relatively liquid,
meaning that you can access
your money at short notice.
Personal loans have be-
come fairly accessible.
The number of institutions
from which you can get un-
secured loans at competitive
interest rates is on an upward
trend, as well.
Unsecured loans
You can get unsecured
loans from most commercial
banks, although other terms
and conditions will apply.
It is important that you
are clear on how you intend
to use the loan and whether
you will be able to make the
monthly repayments with-
out undue strain on your
nances.
Alternatively, you could
join an investment group
or chama, where you pool
your nancial resources with
peers.
Most investment groups/
chamas allow members to
borrow from the accumu-
lated contributions and in-
vestments and pay back at
an agreed rate of interest.
Another alternative is to
borrow from relatives and
friends.
However, while consid-
ering this option, bear in
mind that whenever you put
money into a relationship
that involves either friend-
ship or blood ties, it may get
complicated in the event that
you default.
As one social commenta-
tor observed, before bor-
rowing money from a friend
it is best to decide which one
you need most, the friend-
ship or the money.

IT IS THAT TIME of the year when
the taxman is reminding us to le our
annual tax returns.
If you have not already seen this,
or have not been aware, 30 June is
always the deadline to le your annual
tax returns. I have found that many
business people have little information
on their tax compliance requirements.
One of the issues SMEs have to
contend with is staying current with
the many obligations that come with
taxation.
From proper record keeping to
ensuring that your accounts are
audited, understanding the tax system
is important to business owners who
bear the ultimate responsibility for
fullling all tax obligations from VAT,
income tax, business tax, PAYE, and
other statutory deductions like NSSF
and NHIF.
Luckily, if you have a good
accountant and auditor, you have lots
of help coming your way. This help can
sometimes leave your business with
baggage.
I have personally issued returns
payment cheques before the due date,
only for the accountant to fail to present
them before the deadline.
This is common with part-time
accountants who come and carry away
business documents to return at a later
date.
The tragedy is that if you do not
review the dates stamped on receipts
brought to your oce, you may be
missing out on deadlines out of such
omissions.
It is also important to understand
what the numbers in your tax records
mean. It is even more important to
understand what all your financial
statements mean.
Record-keeping is important for it
is an absolute must when it comes to
preparing taxes and ensuring that you
can back up your deductions claims.
To keep such good records, a business
requires to have at least one competent
accountant.
However, keeping an accountant or
tax consultant can sometimes be costly.
The business is still required to compute
and execute dierent types of taxes, as
well as le the returns on time in line
with the strict deadlines.
In most cases, planning how and
when to do all this to avoid scal tax
nightmares that might drag the business
down is another challenge.
All this can be solved by using simple
technology that will not only help SME
business owners accurately compute
tax but also help in submitting their
returns.
This saves businesses the high cost of
making numerous trips back and forth
in trying to meet timeline deadlines
for different types of taxes and
organisations. The system can also send
automatic notications and reminders
to keep business owners aware of the
days when returns are due.
Such a system should also allow
you to update or organise income
and expense records on a day-to-day
basis should you be required to initiate
an audit or account of your business
transactions.
I know good solutions for this market.
As a business owner, investing in the
right technology to manage your aairs
is key to your prosperity.
There are more advantages and
aordable business tools are available.
Even better, there are systems that you
can access and use from anywhere and
at any time.

Hello Capital Letters.
I hope to get justice through your
able column. In 2006, I took a loan of
Sh300,000 from the Cooperative Bank of
Kenyas Kisumu branch. After a few months
of repayment, I noticed some unexplained
gures that looked like double loan deduc-
tions. Upon inquiry, I was told that it was a
computer error, and the money was subse-
quently refunded.
After a few months, the erroneous de-
ductions returned on my statements and,
again, the money was refunded. This went
on for almost a year and I could not take it
anymore.
I opened a salary account with a dif-
ferent bank and requested my employer
to channel my pay there as the issue was
being sorted out. I went to the Cooperative
Bank branch manager to request him to do
a complete reconciliation of my account
and give me the nal gure to settle as a
lump sum.
The balance at that time was about
Sh200,000, with some erroneous deduc-
tions still to be refunded.
A month later, this had not been done.
When I went back, I found a new manager
who promised to look into the matter.
Again, nothing was done.
My company transferred me to a dier-
ent town but I kept calling the new branch
manager to see if my case had been ad-
dressed.
After a few months, I started receiving
calls from the banks credit department in
Nairobi asking me to settle the loan, now in
default, or be sued.
Sure enough, after a few more calls, I re-
ceived a letter that I had been sued by the
bank through their lawyers in Kisumu.
The case took over ve years, with no
denite end in sight.
In 2010, I left the country for further
studies abroad. A few months later, I be-
gun receiving distress calls from my family
about the bank.
I completed my studies in 2012, came
back, and got a job with a new employer.
When I recently applied for a personal
loan, I was told that Co-operative Bank had
forwarded my name to the Credit Reference
Bureau for loan default on two accounts.
My question: Is it right for banks to make
whatever deductions they want from their
customers accounts with no questions
asked?
Is it right for the CRB to accept whatever
the banks tell them? What measures are
there to protect Kenyans from being listed
maliciously by banks even if they (banks)
are the culprits?
I am sure I am not the only Kenyan who
is being victimised by banks for their own
ineciency. I hope your column can help
me to get justice from Cooperative Bank
management and CRB.
I feel that I have been let down by the
bank, the CRB, and the courts, where my
le has disappeared.
Once again, thank you. I patiently await
feedback.
Pamela A.
Hello Pamela,
Thank you for contacting us on
this matter.
It is unfortunate that you have suf-
fered so much after getting a loan
from your bank.
We have been in communication
with the Cooperative Bank over this
matter and it noted that since the
matter is at the Court of Appeal, it
cannot comment on it.
However, here are a few pointers
regarding the Credit Reference Bu-
reau: You need to clear your name
by paying the loan arrears before the
bank can inform the bureau to clear
your name.
It is also important to know the
facts about your rst loan applica-
tion. That can only be after the court
gives its judgment.
This will also help shed light on
what happened and the way forward
in solving this matter.
I have one request and I hope you can ad-
dress it through your column. I am 20 years
old and have business ideas that I hope will
eventually materialise into an income-gen-
erating venture.
I would like to know where to get nan-
cial sources for the initial capital to kick o
my business.
Thank you in advance. Patrick.
Hi Patrick
It is commendable that at such a
young age you are aspiring to be a job
creator. That is an important trait for
a successful investor.
You have not shared your business
idea with us, but we advise you to
carry out research and nd out how
viable the business is.
This you can do by talking to peo-
ple who are already in business.
They can tell you the challenges
to expect so that you know what
to avoid. We would not want you to
walk blindly into a business without
rst knowing what you are getting
yourself into.
Once you have this information,
you can then verify the amount of
money you need as start-up capital
for the business.
You can contact the Youth Fund of-
ces in your area with your proposal
and get a list of their loan options.
We hope this information has shed
some light on what you need to do to
make your idea tangible.

IN MANY JOB advertisements, there is a
constant requirement that applicants be
good team leaders.
How does one know how good (or bad)
they are in team-leading? Here are a few
pointers:
Lead from the front: Have you have heard
the phrase good leaders lead by exam-
ple? Well, this is right. As a leader, you are
expected to understand what it takes to
get a job done. This should help you un-
derstand the issues raised by juniors when
you question them about a particular task.
Be fair: Quality team leaders are known for
their fairness. This builds condence among
juniors when they know that rewards and
recognition, as well as disciplinary actio,n
will be meted out without fear or favour.
Be exible: Are you the kind of person
others can run to with new ideas and are
assured of thorough attention? Or does
this make you feel undermined? A good
leader should be open to new ideas and
innovations that can end up cutting busi-
ness expenditure. If the ideas are too
ambitious, how do you communicate this
to your juniors without making them feel
unappreciated?
Be inuential: Inuence is an important
trait of a leader. This is dierent from dic-
tatorship. An inuential leader will inspire
the commitment of fellow team players and
ensure smooth running of the task assigned
to them. This also helps gain the condence
of juniors by involving them in decision-
making processes, as well as eective com-
munication.
Be a good example: It is good being a leader,
but are you respected? Following simple
company rules and regulations will ensure
that you hold the position with dignity. You
should not be caught skipping work, worse
still when your juniors know that you are
doing so. That will place you in an awkward
position when you tell them to follow the
same rules you have disregarded.
Learn to forgive
There will be times when there will be
strained relationships with your juniors. If
you use these incidents to the other per-
sons disadvantage, then you are not being
a fair leader. In as much as you are not
advocating a repeat of the mistake, do not
use the incident to disqualify the individual
from an award or recognition.
Cohesive force: How do you relate with your
team players? There should be a sense of
cohesiveness between the team at all times.
This will keep the working environment
conducive for productivity. Ensure that eve-
ryone is comfortable with one another and
that there is a good working relationship.
You should also be a good conict man-
ager by employing your negotiation and
decision-making skills. Conicts will always
be there at the workplace, however good a
leader you are. Yvonne Kawira

Despite the nancial resolutions
some people made at the beginning of
the year, many are drowning in a sea
of debt as the year passes the halfway
mark.
The current economic times have
damned them to personal debt and a pit
of nancial woes.
Analysts have warned of tougher
economic times after the 2014/2015
Budget released last month, with the
Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek)
warning that a Sh300 billion decit in
the estimates will see Kenyans digging
deeper into their pockets.
If history is anything to go by, there
is only one answer to the question, why
are we still poor despite resolutions
made at the beginning of the year to
build wealth? nancial indiscipline.
Europes Economic Intelligence Unit
ranked Mombasa and Nairobi as East
Africas icon of consumerism, with
the capital citys per capita as high as
$1,906 (Sh167,403).
The report ranked Nairobi as Africas
fth largest market for alcoholic bever-
ages and tobacco, with an average per
capita of $100 (Sh8,783), close in ex-
penditure to cities of a greater gross do-
mestic product such as Johannesburg.
It is not only adults who are nan-
cially imprudent. A study conducted
by Youth Dynamix, a research rm that
studies young adults spending habits,
indicates that Kenyan youths spend as
much as Sh65 billion a year on enter-
tainment and outings.
The study is supported by data from
Consumer Insights study that indicated
that Kenyan youths spent Sh250 billion
in 2012 on entertainment and in 2013,
the same age bracket spent many hours
watching movies.
Financial management coaches such
as Leah Karimi foresee various scenar-
ios. Because of the inuence that money
has over peoples decisions on every ba-
sic need, she says, Kenyans have to put
much more eort in managing whatever
little is left in their bank accounts after
taxation.
She said: There will always be reces-
sion and economic crises. And there will
always be bills to be paid.
In her book, Get Rich By Making the
Most of Your Money, Karimi oers prac-
tical do-it-yourself advice from practical
experience.
Budgeting is a term that most
Kenyans will have to get acquainted
with, alongside short- and long-term
nancial goals.
List down what you spend your
money on, she says, adding that a look
at receipts would give a picture of what
one spends money on.
She lists, among other expenditure,
groceries, education-related costs, utili-
ties such as electricity and gas, as well
as household expenses.
A budget allows you to identify all
your expenses, which will tell how
much you can aord. Then create a list
of accurate income projection to aid in
calculating how much of your expendi-
ture goes to destructive habits.
Divide your nancial life in periodic
frames of convenience, such as three
years to attend college, ve years to
open a business, and 10 years to own
a home.
The poster image of a financial
mess turned around by budgeting is
Perminus Kirui, a guard at a security
rm in Nakuru. At 23, with a salary of
Sh17,000, he has managed to enrol in a
business management diploma course
as well as buy a dairy cow whose milk
fetches him at least Sh3,000 a day.
This is how he made his projections:
He calculated a monthly average by to-
talling the money made in 2013 from his
salary and his side hustle computer
repair and maintenance.
While his side hustle income was not
steady, he summed up all the money he
had been paid the previous year and
divided it by 12 to see how much money
he was likely to make in a month.
Against this monthly income, he
listed his expenses, some of which were
constant, like rent. Others varied, such
as fare to work and the price of gas and
groceries.
In the next three months, he kept a
record of his expenses, constantly re-
ecting upon his nancial situation.
Many nancial books recommend a
50-30-20 rule where 50 per cent would
be daily expenditure such as rent, 30
on lifestyle expenditure such as enter-
tainment, and 20 on savings and debt
payment.
From his worksheet, Kirui allocated
money for basic needs and an ambi-
tious plan that he had, including the
cow at his rural home in Subukia. Kirui
reected on his workbook, making deci-
sions on what he would not need.
I reduced the amount of money
spent on movies and clothes and
reduced my trips to my high school
friends in Naivasha, from four trips a
month to a manageable two, he told
Money.
He edited his list of what to buy, stick-
ing religiously to it.
Willy Kimani, a business develop-
ment manager at Naivas Supermarket,
oers advice on weekly shopping.
If you shop every week and have a
budget allocated for each week, you will
not buy household goods that you think
you need when you dont.
Sometimes you may predict that you
will consume this much rice the whole
month, yet you may change to our
meal today and another type of food to-
morrow allocate the money and store
it, but shop once a week to track where
the cash is going, Kimani added.
Karimi stresses the need to carefully
select where to shop for household
items as well as a little market research
to shield you from psychology gim-
micks that retailers use to get you to
spend more money.
Shop on weekdays when there are
lesser crowds as these could thwart your
eorts to ask about oers, she writes.
Smart expenditure is not devoid of
the principle of BOGOF buy one get
one free a shopping tactic that en-
courages purchasing products in bulk.
Do-it-yourself products can be used in
the house instead of expensive ones.
Karimi recommends use of reward
points and loyalty cards, which are is-
sued for free by most supermarkets.
It may look like just a shilling when
you earn it, but by the end of the year
you will be surprised by how much you
have accumulated in your card.
While managing expenditure and
budgeting are bold steps to nancial in-

dependence, saving and investing will
denitely lift the prospects of better
standards of life in the future.
Nereah Opondo, a retired human
resource manager at one of Kenyas
leading tea factories, says it is never too
late to start saving or to seek nancial
counsel. Save for your pension, emer-
gencies, childrens education, wedding,
or an investment... just save, she says.
Lack of savings has, for instance,
made many Kenyans turn to friends
during medical emergencies.
Muchiri Maingi, 34, is a textbook
example of the harrowing experiences
of people who have not learnt to save
and spend prudently.
He takes home Sh60,000, yet when
his wife was pregnant withtheir second
child, he ran out of money and had to
borrowfromhis younger brother.
Over the years, Maingi had bought
clothes from high-end rms, lived in
a three-bedroom apartment at a privi-
leged address, and lent money to every
family member who had a personal
problem.
His friends were businessmen who
invited him to golng games and sug-
gested investing ideas that he took up,
hopingtobuild networks. None yielded
tangible economic results.
The urge to spend and keep up with
the Joneses is wired into humans, ac-
cording to a report by Nick Chater,
professor of behavioural science at
Warwick Business School. Every hu-
man being, the report says, makes
judgements instinctively using com-
parison, even on matters concerning
houses and cars.
While comparing and competing can
have positive outcomes such as want-
ing to be healthier or obtain a better
education, there is a dark side of con-
sumerismthat everyone must tame.
To redress self-inicted problems
suchas Maingis, Opondorecommends
the discipline of No. Kenyans must
resist the urge to buy designer gar-
ments all the time as there are cheaper
alternatives, she says. Every time you
want to dress like Beyonc, remember
that the label that has signed her al-
locates money
for her look, a
privilege you do
not have. You have a
beer budget, so do not
seek to fund a champagne
lifestyle, she says.
Inanonlinestatement last year, Wolf-
gang Fengler, a World Bank economist
for the Western Balkans, a jurisdiction
that includes Kenya, decried peoples
poor saving culture, exemplied by
individuals such as Maingi.
This paints an uncertain future on
collective national and personal nan-
cial growth. A poor saving culture leads
to debts on the national, household,
and personal levels.
Data from the Central Bank show
that in the nine months to September
2013, Kenyans had borroweda massive
Sh389.3 billion to spend on consuma-
bles, luxuries, and depreciating assets
such as cars.
Calculated against the population,
this translates to Sh63,500 per person.
Another report released early this
year indicated that Kenyans spend
more money on airtime for their
phones than on food.
In its bi-annual global economic
prospects report released in June 2014,
the World Bank ranked Kenya along-
side Ghana, Malaysia, and South Africa
as the countries that need to reduce
their budget to cut reliance on debt.
Other nancially liberating habits
that most Kenyans shun include pen-
sion, insurance, and investment op-
portunities. Most retirement accounts
are not taxed.
Social psychologist Ken Munyua
says: I meet Kenyans who are just
about toretire, after working for almost
20 years with a good salary, and they
do not have a penny to their name or
an asset they can fall back on.
He cites the case of a 53-year-old who
is at a loss what todoafter his retrench-
ment froma manufacturing rm where
he has worked for 20 years.
World Bankreports have manytimes
documented that low nancial literacy
is a great impediment to Kenyas nan-
cial liberation.
Only a negligible percentage of those
that sought knowledge on nancial
management went to banks or quali-
ed accountants, while the rest con-
sulted family members, friends, and
spouses, the reports show.

Despite the nancial resolutions
some people made at the beginning of
the year, many are drowning in a sea
of debt as the year passes the halfway
mark.
The current economic times have
damnedthemto personal debt and a pit
of nancial woes.
Analysts have warned of tougher
economic times after the 2014/2015
Budget released last month, with the
Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek)
warning that a Sh300 billion decit in
the estimates will see Kenyans digging
deeper into their pockets.
If history is anything to go by, there
is only one answer to the question, why
are we still poor despite resolutions
made at the beginning of the year to
build wealth? nancial indiscipline.
Europes Economic Intelligence Unit
ranked Mombasa and Nairobi as East
Africas icon of consumerism, with
the capital citys per capita as high as
$1,906 (Sh167,403).
The report ranked Nairobi as Africas
fth largest market for alcoholic bever-
ages and tobacco, with an average per
capita of $100 (Sh8,783), close in ex-
penditure to cities of a greater gross do-
mestic product such as Johannesburg.
It is not only adults who are nan-
cially imprudent. A study conducted
by Youth Dynamix, a research rm that
studies young adults spending habits,
indicates that Kenyan youths spend as
much as Sh65 billion a year on enter-
tainment and outings.
The study is supported by data from
Consumer Insights study that indicated
that Kenyan youths spent Sh250 billion
in 2012 on entertainment and in 2013,
the same age bracket spent many hours
watching movies.
Financial management coaches such
as Leah Karimi foresee various scenar-
ios. Because of the inuence that money
has over peoples decisions on every ba-
sic need, she says, Kenyans have to put
muchmore eort inmanagingwhatever
little is left in their bank accounts after
taxation.
She said: There will always be reces-
sionand economic crises. And there will
always be bills to be paid.
In her book, Get Rich By Making the
Most of Your Money, Karimi oers prac-
tical do-it-yourself advice frompractical
experience.
Budgeting is a term that most
Kenyans will have to get acquainted
with, alongside short- and long-term
nancial goals.
List down what you spend your
money on, she says, adding that a look
at receipts would give a picture of what
one spends money on.
She lists, among other expenditure,
groceries, education-related costs, utili-
ties such as electricity and gas, as well
as household expenses.
A budget allows you to identify all
your expenses, which will tell how
much you can aord. Then create a list
of accurate income projection to aid in
calculating how much of your expendi-
ture goes to destructive habits.
Divide your nancial life in periodic
frames of convenience, such as three
years to attend college, ve years to
open a business, and 10 years to own
a home.
The poster image of a financial
mess turned around by budgeting is
Perminus Kirui, a guard at a security
rm in Nakuru. At 23, with a salary of
Sh17,000, he has managed to enrol in a
business management diploma course
as well as buy a dairy cow whose milk
fetches him at least Sh3,000 a day.
This is how he made his projections:
He calculated a monthly average by to-
talling the money made in2013 fromhis
salary and his side hustle computer
repair and maintenance.
While his side hustle income was not
steady, he summed up all the money he
had been paid the previous year and
divided it by 12 to see how much money
he was likely to make in a month.
Against this monthly income, he
listed his expenses, some of which were
constant, like rent. Others varied, such
as fare to work and the price of gas and
groceries.
In the next three months, he kept a
record of his expenses, constantly re-
ecting upon his nancial situation.
Many nancial books recommend a
50-30-20 rule where 50 per cent would
be daily expenditure such as rent, 30
on lifestyle expenditure such as enter-
tainment, and 20 on savings and debt
payment.
From his worksheet, Kirui allocated
money for basic needs and an ambi-
tious plan that he had, including the
cow at his rural home in Subukia. Kirui
reectedonhis workbook, makingdeci-
sions on what he would not need.
I reduced the amount of money
spent on movies and clothes and
reduced my trips to my high school
friends in Naivasha, from four trips a
month to a manageable two, he told
Money.
He editedhis list of what tobuy, stick-
ing religiously to it.
Willy Kimani, a business develop-
ment manager at Naivas Supermarket,
oers advice on weekly shopping.
If you shop every week and have a
budget allocated for each week, you will
not buy household goods that you think
you need when you dont.
Sometimes you may predict that you
will consume this much rice the whole
month, yet you may change to our
meal today and another type of food to-
morrow allocate the money and store
it, but shop once a week to track where
the cash is going, Kimani added.
Karimi stresses the need to carefully
select where to shop for household
items as well as a little market research
to shield you from psychology gim-
micks that retailers use to get you to
spend more money.
Shop on weekdays when there are
lesser crowds as these could thwart your
eorts to ask about oers, she writes.
Smart expenditure is not devoid of
the principle of BOGOF buy one get
one free a shopping tactic that en-
courages purchasing products in bulk.
Do-it-yourself products can be usedin
the house instead of expensive ones.
Karimi recommends use of reward
points and loyalty cards, which are is-
sued for free by most supermarkets.
It may look like just a shilling when
you earn it, but by the end of the year
you will be surprised by how much you
have accumulated in your card.
While managing expenditure and
budgeting are bold steps to nancial in-

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PATRICK WAMEYO
Why work so hard, only to blow the money away?
THIS PAST WEEK, I had an opportunity to
share ideas on nancial literacy with Ken-
yans working at refugee camps in Dadaab.
From an aerial view, the camps look like
isolated spots of life in a desert, with the
surrounding area showing no sign of
habitation.
The climate and the changing
weather patterns that make up the re-
alities of life in Dadaab have shaped
the behaviour of the people work-
ing here and their nances too.
A lesson I learnt from Dadaab is
reected in the wider geography
of Kenya, where you will notice
distinct regional behaviour patterns
distinguished by dierent investing
actions and entertainment preferences.
For example, parts of the Rift Valley
and Trans Nzoia that form the bread
basket of Kenya experience wheat and maize
income seasons and equally peculiar enter-
tainment habits funded by the seasonal cash
ow. A similar pattern is observed in tobacco
and tea growing areas after payments are
made for the crops.
There is a peculiar earning/spending behav-
iour pattern among people living in camps,
such as soldiers and the police, similar to the
pattern among farmer groups.
While some of the money behaviour pat-
terns are induced by dierent types of hard-
ships in peoples daily lives, a higher propor-
tion of these follow the herding instinct. For
example, a sugar cane farmer might wait for
18 months to receive money for the sale of
his produce and a tea farmer about a year,
but they both spend impulsively in much the
same way.
Social patterns in the no-family camps are
slightly dierent. While the money is earned
immediately, the person will not access op-
portunities to spend it, particularly on enter-
tainment, for some time, usually between two
to four months.
While the reasons for the delay are dierent,
both parties build up pressure, waiting for an
opportunity to engage in fun, the kind that is
accompanied by a big ability to spend.
Be they farmers, university students, sol-
diers, or police ocers working in hardship
environments, all have one common habit
make money, then waste it on explosive
spending, this after baking the money for
many months while running dry pockets.
The cardinal question, though, is: What stops
them from investing explosively, too?

HOUSING FINANCE : A month
ago, HFs shares at the local bourse
slumped after rumours went round
that the mortgage lender was plan-
ning to oer a rights issue that would
result in share dilution. However, the
price has been on a recovery path as
of mid-last week, climbing from an
average trading price of Sh38 to a
high of Sh41 by the end of last week.
Speculative investors seem to have
shed o their fears on the rights issue
and bounced back, says Mr Ndindi
Nyoro, the managing director of In-
vestax Capital Ltd. He adds that the
expected interim dividend has also
been driving up the price.
According to Mr Nyoro, investors
who made an entry at around Sh38
last week should hold their shares
and prepare to exit as the stock
climbs. It may be late to make an
entry at around Sh42 since the stock
will be Sh4 up. However, those who
managed to take a position at Sh38
should hold. Soon they will be cashing
in their prots.
Carbacid: Since the 59 per cent
price surge created by the ve-for-
one share split late last year, the gas
maker has struggled to regain mo-
mentum, especially after decreased
mid-year prots announced in Janu-
ary this year. Prior to the share split,
investors had beneted from the Sh3
dividend. In the past one year, the
counter has gone down from Sh73.50
to a low of Sh23 per share. In March
this year, Carbacid announced a
Sh235 million after-tax prot for the
rst six months of the companys -
nancial year, down from Sh264 million
recorded the previous year. Similarly,
the manufacturer slashed its dividend
pay by a third to Sh0.40 per share,
down from Sh0.60 paid in a similar
period the previous year.
In the past three months, the coun-
ter has shed Sh10 from the average
trading price of Sh37.50 in mid-March.
On Friday, Carbacid was trading at
Sh28 per share. By noon on Monday,
the stock had slumped a further 1.79
per cent to trade at Sh27.50 per share.
Despite the slump, stock analysts
are seeing the counter as bearing an
opening for new investors to make
money. The current price is a real
bargain for medium- to long-term in-
vestors willing to see the stock regain
its growth trajectory.
Kenya Airways: Despite announcing
a Sh3.4 billion loss, from a previous
mega loss of Sh7.8 billion, and a 7 per
cent increase in revenues last week,
the KQ stock is still in the woods. The
national carrier last week also an-
nounced the exit of long-serving CEO
Titus Naikuni starting December. The
stock remains a high-risk counter.

For many young Ken-
yans, getting a well-paying job
soon after completing college
is the ultimate dream. It is
even more enticing if the job is
in a more developed economy
where things run in an orderly
manner and life is perceived to
be more enjoyable.
It was a dierent story for
Alex Mureti, 30. After complet-
ing his degree in economics
and nance, he landed an envi-
able job with an international
bank in London. For several
years, he worked for the bank
in London and South Africa.
However, his true passion
was for entrepreneurship and
last year, he decided to come
back home and try out some-
thing to try to improve the
lives of young people in Kenya.
The growth in internet pen-
etration, driven by the spread
of smartphones, led Mureti
to thinking about setting up a
digital platform.
Mureti and his business
partner set up Gradstate Ltd, a
company that, through an on-
line directory (gradstate.com),
provides prospective students
with information on university
and college courses in Kenya.
We wanted to leverage on
growth of the internet in the
country to help young people
shape their lives. It is always
a hard decision for most
students to pick a university
course, mostly because such
information is not readily
available, Mureti, who is the
companys MD, said.
From the website, a prospec-
tive student can sample dier-
ent courses, compare dierent
universities oering the same
studies, and even compare the
cost. Students are also guided
on the career opportunities
available for every course.
We simply get schools to
sign up and we provide their
information on our page. Users
can compare courses across
many universities in terms
of duration, cost, and scope,
Mureti said.
To sign up for the service, an
institution pays an average of
Sh250,000 a year. The fee var-
ies according to the size of the
institution, which has the op-
tion of paying additional fees
to place adverts on the website
or have some of their courses
highlighted as hot courses
on the homepage.
So far, the rm has signed
up 15 universities including the
University of Nairobi and St
Pauls University, Zetech Col-
lege, and Riara University. It
is currently in talks with more
than 10 institutions of higher
learning to join the platform.
Less than a year since it
started, the company has al-
ready broken even and boasts
a turnover of over Sh3 million.
Mureti sees an even brighter
future, with expansion plans to
reach out to institutions within
and outside Nairobi in the next
year. Currently, we are fo-
cused on Nairobi. We are work-
ing to increase the number of
institutions that have signed
up with us, while expanding
our footprint outside Nairobi,
Mureti told Money.
He said the rm was in talks
with potential investors, both
locally and internationally.
At least three investors
have approached us with a
view to partnering in the busi-
ness. We are still weighing our
options, Mureti said.
Students can apply for
courses online and do not
have to pay anything to use
the service.

After he was released from
jail and without a cent, Norman
Kuria bumped into a friend who
gave him Sh200 for a meal. In
10 years, Kuria had turned the
Sh200 into a multi-million shilling
project.
Kuria invested the money in
a few pairs of socks, which he
hawked in Nakuru town. The
business has now expanded to
property such as land, houses, and
car rms.
It was still early in the day
when I was released. I was con-
fused since I did not have even a
shilling. A long-time friend oered
me Sh200 to buy lunch. I quickly
approached a hawker to introduce
me to the business, Kuria told
Money.
His aim was to make a little
more money to pay for his lunch
and fare back to his parents
home.
The hawker led him to a whole-
sale kiosk where he bought a dozen
pairs of socks at Sh190. He headed
to the busy bus terminus where he
started hawking the socks.
In half an hour I had exhausted
my stock. With the prot, I bought
one-and-a-half dozen socks, which
I also exhausted. I even lost inter-
est in going back home, where I
had nothing. I wanted to focus on
making a living, said Kuria.
Within a week, he had up-
graded his stock to include un-
dergarments and handkerchiefs,
making a net prot of Sh10,000.
His aggressiveness in business
and new perspective of life saw
him rent a house for the rst time.
This, he said, came after spending
cold nights in hotels and streets
for about a week.
A month later, Kuria had ex-
panded his business to include
watches, phone covers, and
spoons, which saw him earning a
tidy prot of over Sh50,000.
A few years later, however, Kuria
was involved in a road accident on
his way home, injuring his leg. For
a while, he was on crutches.
But this did not stop me from
doing my work. I rented some
space in town where I could oper-
ate as my leg healed, he recalled.
Gradually, Kurias business ex-
panded. In 2007, he managed to
buy a piece of land and a taxi.
Besides paying school fees for
his four children in secondary and
primary school, he has managed
to buy another piece of land and
a motorbike. He has also opened
a rabbit and chicken business for
his wife.
Through her business, my wife
is able to invest in other family
projects, he said.
His developed plots within
the suburbs of Nakuru town are
worth over Sh5 million. His other
businesses have also grown over
the years.
According to Kuria, the obses-
sion with white-collar jobs among
the youth needs to be addressed.
The youth should not just ght
for jobs in big oces; they should
open their minds and start busi-
nesses of their own. In turn, they
will employ others, Kuria said.
He has, however, engaged many
youths from Nakuru County in his
businesses, giving them ideas on
how to utilise their untapped op-
portunities.
There are many business ideas.
The youth should be aggressive
in taking advantage of them, he
said.
Kuria now wants to open a
wholesale market and expand his
businesses in Nakuru.

One of the most dicult
decisions that Ahmed Yusuf has
ever had to make was to leave
Kenya with his family in 1998
and head to Australia to start a
new life. Life in Kenya then was
uncertain and the business envi-
ronment dicult.
The Kakamega-born Yusuf
had worked for various local and
international rms in Nairobi.
A company he was working for
during the reign of then president
Daniel arap Moi closed shop due
to dwindling business.
Kenya then was a good exam-
ple of what The Economist mag-
azine termed The Hopeless
Continent in 2000. However, 16
years later, the Kenyan-born Aus-
tralia-based businessman could
not resist the temptation to come
back home to exploit the oppor-
tunities in Kenya and in much of
the continent that The Economist
would later in 2011 refer to as
The Hopeful Continent.
I went to Australia because I
wanted a change of scene for my
family. Security was a problem,
corruption was at its height, and
things were really bad in Kenya.
Even when I was in Australia, the
reports I received up until 2002
were disappointing, he said dur-
ing an interview.
Yusuf established several
businesses that he now says are
worth at least $10 million (Sh870
million). He has been in business
since 2010, when he stopped
working as a general manager for
a rm in Australia.
The businesses he established
range from a college that oers
courses in building and con-
struction from certicate level to
advanced diploma and an early
childhood enterprise that assists
working or at-school parents
who may be working or studying
full-time to care for their children
from the time they are born to the
time they start school. He also
started a technology rm special-
ising in software development for
rms back in Australia. He is now
exploring prospects of extending
his business to Kenya and other
parts of Africa, where he sees a
lot of potential for growth.
We have a range of businesses
that operate in Australia. The
rst one is a college that trains
people building and construction
from certicate level to advanced
diploma. Often, people who come
to the college hope to get a certi-
cate or licence to become build-
ers. In Australia, you cannot build
a house until you get a licence,
Yusuf said.
The technology rm, Plycode,
is a custom software company
that oers services and systems
to companies seeking to auto-
mate their revenue collection,
accounting, or car tracking soft-
ware.
Currently, Yusuf is exploring
partnerships with young technol-
ogy companies in Eastern Africa
for purposes of engaging their
respective strengths to deliver
outsourcing services to firms
abroad or within the region. The
partnership with local companies
would entail collaboration in
the development of information
technology projects depending
on the respective strengths of the
individuals or rms involved.
In Australia, he also runs an
ICT recruitment board, Kazileo,
for IT jobs in Australia.
Within a year, we are going
to introduce it to Canada, the
UK, New Zealand, Malaysia, and
Singapore. We have introduced
another one for Africa, Employfy,
a database for job seekers and
employers, he said.
With blue-chip firms like
Toyota and non-prot organisa-
tions in their portfolio, Plycode
has also built revenue collection
systems for rms in Australia.
Yusuf believes that Kenya now
has the desire to grow and achieve
a lot more for its population and
that IT is one of the areas that
will help drive the economy for-
ward. There are many opportuni-
ties to be exploited, especially on
the ICT front as many things in
the country are still manual.
If Konza City becomes a real-
ity, there will be more business
outsourcing in ICT rms and
opportunities coming here, he
said, adding that opportunities in
the IT sector lie in automating ac-
counting systems and discarding
the old manual ones.
Sixteen years later, Kenyan-born
businessman Ahmed Yusuf wants
to exploit opportunities presented
by the rapidly growing ICT sector

potential back home
On 12 April, 2012, I had a road ac-
cident in a Probox vehicle near Makuyu
junction, Kenol-Sagana road. There
were ve people in the car and two of
them died. I broke both arms and two
ribs.
Two months after leaving hospital,
I and other passengers, who had de-
cided that we use one lawyer, went to
one advocate and gave him instruc-
tions to proceed with our claims for
compensation.
The vehicle was insured with AMACO.
Since then, we have gone to the law-
yers oce many times, but he does
not update us on the progress of the
case. I am the one who traced the
motor vehicle owner after the lawyer
failed to do so.
When I went to the insurer, I found
out that the lawyer had not even led
a claim. Except for searching at KRA,
he has done little else. We have been
thinking of withdrawing the case from
this lawyer and talking directly with the
insurer. Please advise. M.G. Nairobi.
I have had to edit your email but,
hopefully, I have captured the gist of
your query. At the outset, let me oer
my sympathies for the road accident
and for the frustrating experience at the
hands of your lawyer.
He could be having his own reasons,
although this is no excuse for his ap-
parent sloppiness which borders on
professional negligence.
It is curious that, two years from the
time of the accident, this lawyer has
not even informed the insurers of your
claims, yet he is expected to be aware
of the Statute of Limitations.
You now have less than a year to
bring action else you will be time-
barred. Could it be that the lawyer
found out that the vehicle was inappro-
priately insured and that there is, in fact,
no valid claim against the insurer?
In such an eventuality, you would
only have to proceed against the mo-
tor vehicle owner to the extent of his
personal fortune, but with very little
chance of recovery.
If that is the position, your lawyer may
have become disinterested in investing
his time in the case. All the same, he
should have had the courage to ap-
praise you of the circumstances instead
of giving you the silent treatment.
You will probably be wondering why
I have raised the issue of inappropriate
insurance. It is common knowledge that
many Probox cars are being used as
matatu but are insured as private cars.
That is a tragedy because they do not
carry PSV insurance cover, not to men-
tion the fact that they have not con-
formed to trac rules and regulations
governing PSVs. Indeed, the Matatu
Owners Association (MOA) has several
times voiced concern over this.
MOAs main consideration is pre-
sumably loss of business to these un-
regulated competitors, but the issue of
insurance cannot be ignored.
There have been many incidents
involving this type of vehicle where, in
most cases, the vehicle is found to have
been grossly overloaded. As many as
12 or more passengers are packed into
a Probox that is licensed to carry only
ve.
Though they pay the respective fares,
few, if any, of the passengers bother to
check the type of insurance the vehicle
carries. To be packed like sardines in a
vehicle without protest and without a
thought about insurance is wrong.
If you were a fare-paying passenger
and the vehicle was insured as a private
car, taking up the issue with the insurer
will not help much.
I suggest that you establish the facts
about the insurance cover before decid-
ing to get another lawyer. And you will
need legal representation.
