overnors meet in Nairobi
tomorrow to lay strategies
on how to popularise their
referendum campaign in Jubilee
strongholds.
The meeting comes just a week
after President Uhuru Kenyatta
dared Jubilee governors who have
been pushing for the referendum
to quit the ruling coalition and seek
fresh mandate from voters.
Sources in the Council of Gov-
ernors said the talks would seek to
identify local leaders to spearhead
the Pesa Mashinani campaign in
counties where governors have
opposed the push for the refer-
endum.
The counties include Kiambu,
Nyeri, Laikipia, Embu, Tharaka-
Nithi, Muranga, Nakuru, Baringo,
Kirinyaga, Uasin Gishu and Narok.
The governors will also discuss

P
arliament yesterday approved
the appointment of Major-Gen-
eral Philip Wachira Kameru as
the new director-general of the Na-
tional Intelligence Service.
Also approved were 25 envoys,
clearing the way for their swearing
in.
Yesterdays special sitting of Parlia-
ment, convened specically to discuss
the appointments, was devoid of the
reworks promised by those who op-
posed Gen Kamerus appointment.
This was the rst time that Parlia-
ment is approving the appointment of
a NIS chief and envoys, a requirement
under the new constitution.
Sentiment in the House was fairly
unanimous and after an hour and
half of debate, MPs asked for a vote
and approved Gen Kamerus ap-
pointment.
The 25 nominees to various
ambassadorial postings 16 new
appointees, three in missions, four
based at the Foreign Aairs ministry
and one newly appointed diplomat
all sailed through.
Although some MPs from the Op-
position Coalition for Reforms and
Democracy had suggested the nomi-
nation of Gen Kameru would present
them an opportunity to criticize the
President for failing to nominate the
NIS head from outside Central Kenya,
there was little of that.
The biggest dramatic moment of
the afternoon came as the MPs de-
bated the report on the ambassadors
when Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa
claimed he had dissented on some
nominees but that had been removed
from the report.
After an exchange between him
and the leadership of the commit-
tee, Speaker Justice Muturi criticized
the clerks of the committee for poor
record keeping and suggested
chairman Ndungu Gethenji could
have done a better job handling the
team.
Mr Gethenji was on the spot in the
morning when he tried to table the
report of the committee without the
Speaker having approved it.
Earlier, MPs criticized the perform-
ance of the intelligence service and
said they hoped Gen Kameru will
change it for the better and suggested
dierent ways it can work.
There were expressions of concern
that the agency has lost its focus on
security and become politicised.
Defence and Foreign Relations
Committee member Adan Keynan
said over the last ve years, NIS
functions have been politicised and
the perception has been created
that it does more of a political than
security job.
Gen Kameru, he said, should allow
the rest of the security agencies to
do their work.
Over the last few years, other agen-
cies have been complaining that NIS
has transformed itself into the prefect
of the other security agencies, said
Mr Keynan.
Minority Leader Francis Nyenze
supported the nomination but said
that the next time, President Kenyatta
should appoint someone from outside
Central Kenya.
Deputy Minority Leader Jakoyo
Midiwo also supported Gen Kamerus
nomination but said the head of NIS
should sit in the National Police
Service Commission so that the
information gathered by the agency
can be given to the police.
Right now NIS can gather infor-
mation about a chicken stolen in
Siaya and take it to the President,
he said.
He said the House investigated the
Westgate attack last year, when NIS
said it passed on intelligence to the
police but that the assertion was not
veriable.
Mr Midiwo cited the massacre in
Mpeketoni and the disruption of the
presidential function in Migori on
Monday as incidents which the NIS
should have warned of in advance.
There is no way the President can
go to a place which is not hostile to
anybody like Migori and get embar-
rassed and intelligence is there. Even
if politicians had sponsored these
people, the intelligence should have
been there, said Mr Midiwo.
It is wrong for the President not
to be told that he is going to an area
where people dont want to see even
the governor. Why is he going to dis-
tribute nets when he could have sent
the minister? he asked.
Majority Leader Aden Duale said
Maj Gen Kamerus main job would be
to reorganise NIS so that Kenya is safe
from terrorists, drug dealers, money
launderers and organised crime.
Being the Director General of the
NIS is not a birthday. He is not like
the director of veterinary services at
Kabete, said Mr Duale.
On the ambassadors, Deputy Mi-
nority Leader Jakoyo Midiwo said
Parliament needs to come up with a
law to determine the education stand-
ards and calibre of ambassador.

Protesters block Thika
road for the second day
BY FRED MUKINDA
The fate of a Nairobi police-
man arrested over a killing lies
with the court, Inspector Gen-
eral of Police David Kimaiyo
said yesterday, as protesters
demanded his release.
Demonstrators barricaded
sections of Thika Superhighway
for the second day yesterday,
following the arrest of Consta-
ble Titus Ngamau Musila on
Thursday last week.
In Githurai 45, they used
the body of a man suspected
to have drowned, to block the
highway, demanding the re-
lease of the policeman.
The residents claimed the
man drowned on Tuesday
when he fell in an old quarry
while running away from
riot police. The police chief
warned that protesters would
be arrested and charged for
engaging in illegal activities
and breaching peace.
The residents said the ocer,
popularly known in Githurai
as Katitu, had helped reduce
crime in Githurai 45, Zim-
merman and Githurai Kimbo
and he should be released and
allowed to serve them.
A day after he was arrested,
Mr Musila was charged with
the killing of Kenneth Kimani
Mwangi on April 14 last year.
The case is due for mention
on September 16, and the hear-
ing on May 11 and 12, 2015.
Police statement
Unauthorised and violent
demonstrations will be rmly
dealt with in accordance with
the law. Do not inconven-
ience innocent members of
the public, said the police
boss in a statement read by
police spokesperson Gatiria
Mboroki.
The demonstrations para-
lysed transport on the busy
highway as rowdy youths
pelted vehicles with stones
and burnt tyres.
The police reacted by throw-
ing tear gas canisters at the
protesters.
The officer is not new to
controversy.
Last year, Githurai residents
marched on Thika superhigh-
way demanding his removal
from police service, over his
methods of law enforcement.

TRAFFIC | Pedestrians crossing highway at non-designated points
Vandalism leaves road users exposed
BY JACQUELINE KUBANIA
@jacqui_jade
jkubania@ke.nationmedia.com
V
ehicles are whizzing by on either
side of the dual carriage Waiyaki
Way, as heavy trucks compete
for space with smaller vehicles.
Just after Uthiru shopping centre, a
concrete barrier in the middle of the
highway begins winding its way up to
the junction to Limuru Town.
The safety measure to prevent
head-on collisions and shield drivers
from the glare of headlamps at night
is made of steel, making it an easy
target for scrap metal hunters.
Metal hunters
The barrier is beginning to be-
come porous, and features huge
holes some big enough for a car
to drive through. It has, in recent
months, become a target of vandals
who have taken to harvesting the
heavy duty steel frame that holds
the barrier in place.
Sections of the barrier have become
so degraded that if a driver lost con-
trol of his vehicle at the particular
spot, there would be nothing to pre-
vent the car from veering o into the
opposite trac.
However, this is a danger that the
vandals have turned a blind eye to,
and it is possibly a matter of time
before the inevitable happens.
Granted, some of the gaps in the
barrier were caused by accidents. But
with the vandals having also hived o
chunks of the barrier, pedestrians have
perfected the art of walking across
the highway and crossing at the gaps
instead of walking a longer distance
to designated crossing points. They
are disregarding the Trac Comman-
dant, who has warned that pedestrians
who cross highways at non-designated
points will be charged with attempted
suicide.
Yet it is at these disintegrated
sections that much of the vandalism
occurs, with people chipping away at
the loose concrete in the dead of the
night to expose the steel inside. They
then cut it out and sell it as scrap.
The frequent accidents are the
very reason that the barrier must be
maintained.
Motorists have complained that
some sections of the barrier remain
unrepaired for months after gaps
appear.
The Kenya National Highways
Authority (Kenha) is well aware of
the degraded barrier.
A drive on the highway shows that
some repair work has been done on
some of the bigger holes, but most
of them remain yawning, exposing
motorists to danger.
Contacted for comment, Kenhas
Charles Njogu said it was the duty
of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) to
provide funds for maintenance of the
highway.
We are looking into alternative
heavy duty plastic to replace the steel
frame so as to discourage the vandals
because plastic does not have a market
value as high as steel, he said.
We, however, have not received
any money from KRB to make this
possible, he added.
In the meantime, questions abound
over the fate of motorists using this
dangerous stretch. How long before
a serious accident spilling onto both
sides of the highway hits the head-
lines? Must authorities wait until
disaster strikes to do something?

their strategies for collecting the one
million signatures needed to support the
push for a referendum.
We have a meeting on Friday. We will
discuss the referendum but it is not the
main agenda, it may come up as an AoB
(Any other Business), the chairman of
the Council of Governors, Mr Isaac Ruto,
told the Nation. The talks come against
the background of a political stando be-
tween the President and his deputy, Mr
William Ruto on one hand, and governors
from the Jubilee coalition who support the
referendum.
Nandi Governor Cleophas Lagat is the
latest from Jubilee to support the push. On
Tuesday, he said he would not be intimi-
dated by calls to resign.
Quality services
I serve the electorate and all that we are
demanding is adequate funds for delivery
of quality services, he said.
Mr Ruto told the Nation that there would
be no turning back on the governors push
for the referendum. The governors seeking
to increase funding for the counties.
The modalities of launching the signa-
ture collection are being handled by our
team of experts so there is nothing much
to discuss on the referendum matter. It is
a matter we dealt with a long time ago and
there is no turning back, he said.
Two governors allied to the Deputy Presi-
dents United Republican Party (URP), who
sought anonymity for fear of inviting the
wrath of the Presidency, said the meet-
ing would discuss the ways of penetrating
counties whose governors do not support
the referendum campaign.
They said that they would enlist the
support of opinion leaders, including cler-
gymen, to push the referendum campaign
in such counties.
In an area like Narok, we will use the
deputy governor who is with us, said a
governor from North Rift.
The signature collection will be coor-
dinated by county assemblies in regions
which are receptive to the push.
The governors disclosed that they had
enlisted hundreds of volunteers to steer the
campaign in Bomet, Meru, Kakamega, West
Pokot, Nandi, Kericho and Narok.
Apart from Mr Ruto, the governors
actively involved in the campaign, are Mr
Peter Munya (Meru), Mr Wyclie Oparanya
(Kakamega), Mr Simon Kachapin (West
Pokot), Mr Lagat (Nandi) and Prof Paul
Chepkwony (Kericho).
In Cord zones, the governors will be in
charge of the campaign while MPs will
spearhead the Okoa Kenya initiative, one
governor said.
In Mombasa, Governor Ali Hassan Joho
will spearhead both campaigns, according
to his political adviser, Mr Idris Abdirah-
man. Joho is supporting both initiatives.
In our Junda declaration last Saturday, Joho
coined the slogan Pesa Mashinani, Okoa
Kenya, meaning we are supporting both
campaigns, he said.
The governors are also trying to reach
out to Members of County Assemblies
(MCAs) to lead the campaigns in recep-
tive regions.
In Nandi and Baringo counties for in-
stance, MCAs have indicated that they will
support the referendum.
The County Assemblies Forums select
committee on the referendum has been
going through submissions from the
county assemblies on the what position
MCAs should take in the debate.
The committee, headed by Migori
County speaker Gordon Oluoch, is looking
into issues they believe bedevil devolution
and require redress.
We are remaining with 27 days to come
up with ndings which we will submit to
the county assembly forum steering
committee to give the way forward, Mr
Oluoch said.
Some MCAs have distanced themselves
from the committee, saying that they would
follow party aliations on the debate.
Nairobi MCAs aliated to the Opposi-
tion, Cord, became the second after their
Busia colleagues to denounce the resolution
to create the committee.
As Nairobi Cord MCAs, we are distanc-
ing ourselves from the move to create a
parallel referendum and pledge to support
the Okoa Kenya referendum, Nairobi Ma-
jority Leader Elias Otieno said.
Busia Majority Leader Josephat Wandera
accused the leadership of the county as-
semblys forum of being used by Jubilee
to oppose the referendum, claims which
forum chairman Nuh Abdi dismissed.
Mr Abdi said that they took a bipartisan
approach to allow the committee to nd
an appropriate position to be taken by all
MCAs.

IEBC boosts
registration of
civil servants
BY NATION REPORTER
The ongoing biometric registra-
tion of civil servants got a boost
yesterday when the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Com-
mission donated kits.
IEBC transferred 40 Biometric
Registration Kits including laptops,
cameras, printers and nger print
scanners to the Ministry of Devo-
lution and Planning to help in the
process that is aimed at weeding
out ghost workers.
This was the rst batch of 200
kits the government requested to
assist in the process.
Entrench eciency
President Kenyatta, who
launched the registration, said it
would entrench eciency and ef-
fectiveness in the public service.
Salaries of the workers will be veri-
ed based on their qualications.
Acting electoral commission
CEO Betty Sungura-Nyabuto said
kits had been recalled from each of
the 17 regional warehouses coun-
trywide. The voters data have
been transferred and the system
cleaned to allow for the loading of a
new operating system and software
for registration of public servants,
she said.
The kits will not be collected
after the sta audit is completed,
she said, noting that transfer of
the kits did not aect her agencys

to Taita Taveta County, days
after President Kenyatta vis-
ited the region.
The visit comes as the coali-

planned retreat for its gover-
nors and senators scheduled
to take place in Arusha this
weekend.
Mr Odinga (right), and
other Cord leaders are ex-
pected to hold meetings and

The coastal tour comes
barely a week after the Presi-
dent pitched tent there in an
attempt to conquer the region
that is deemed to be loyal to
Cord.
The Okoa Kenya team
has realigned its referendum
campaign timetable. Now, the
focus will be on a county-to-
county basis, said Mr Dennis
Onyango, Mr Odingas spokes-
man.
He said an elaborate cam-
paign timeline was being
prepared and would be re-
leased later.
Coast leaders are divided
over the referendum calls.
Kilifi North MP Gideon
Mungaro leads a group of
ODM rebels against the pro-
posed vote.
Mr Mungaro, who was re-
cently ousted as the coalitions
Chief Whip, is supported by

Nassir and Kwale Woman
Representative Zainab Chid-
zuga.
Mombasa Governor Hassan
Joho, Senator Hassan Omar
and Wundanyi MP Thomas

in the region. Cord is stable
at the coast and people like
Mungaro will be contained,
said Mr Omar. He has no
leverage worth mentioning.

According to the Okoa
Kenya secretariat, the Oppo-
sitions team in charge of the
campaign has collected more
than 1.4 million signatures.
Some Mombasa religious

to halt another campaign for a

ing to counties.

Ministries blamed
for health strikes
BY NATION REPORTER
Governors have accused
the national government
of inciting health workers
against the county bosses
by not releasing funds to
counties.
The Council of Gover-
nors Secretary Ken Lusaka
(below) observed that coun-
ties with level ve hospitals
are threatened due to inad-
equate funding.
Mr Lusaka told the
Nation that though the
counties had been allo-
cated a conditional grant
of Sh1.8 billion this nan-
cial year, the money was
hardly enough to cope with
increased health needs in
the countrys 11 level ve
hospitals.
Mr Lusaka warned
against politicising the
issue of devolved funds,
saying that allocating cash
to counties was not a favour,
but a constitutional right.
He challenged Parliament
to stop hiding behind the
law by relying on old au-
dited accounts to decide
the amount that goes to
counties.
The Sh226 billion that
Parliament endorsed for
the counties was based on
the 2009/2010 audited ac-
counts as opposed to the
most recent statistics.
Law delayed
Governors can now meet
their recurrent and devel-
opment expenditure, after
President Kenyatta signed
the County Allocation of
Revenue Act into law. The
law had been delayed in the
National Assembly and the
Senate due to amendments
that were referred to the two
Houses for consensus.
The Act provides for eq-
uitable allocation of revenue
among county governments
this nancial year.
Senator Boni Khalwale
(Kakamega, UDF) said the
criteria used to decide the
amount to be given to in-
dividual counties should
be reviewed to ensure the
hospitals that cater for a
large population get more
money.
House team
backs MP in
absentee suit
BY NATION REPORTER
An attempt to unseat Emgwen
MP Alex Kosgey on the basis of
absenteeism suered a blow after
the Privileges Committee said miss-
ing plenary sittings did not mean a
lawmaker was not working.
The teams vice-chairman, Mr
Peter Shehe, told the Nation that
they discovered that Mr Kosgey had
been attending meetings and the
biometric system used to record
attendance was at times faulty.
The same argument could be
applied to Rongai MP Raymond
Moi, who is facing a similar pe-
tition. Unlike Mr Kosgey, who is
rarely seen in the House, Mr Moi is
active in the Lands Committee and
has been in the House a noticeable
number of times.
The committee met lawyers for
the man who presented the peti-
tion to National Assembly Speaker
Justin Muturi. The lawyers told
journalists that the committee
appeared unlikely to grant their
clients wish.
We have written evidence that
Alex Kosgey was in Australia and he
had been sent by the committee and
was even leading the committee so
we cannot say that this gentleman
was absent and was nowhere to be
seen, said Mr Shehe.
He added: That petition will be
thrown out because the honourable
member was executing his duties
as a leader.

Bensouda
did shoddy
job, says
Ruto lawyer
BY NATION REPORTER
Lawyers representing Deputy
President William Ruto yester-
day accused ICC Prosecutor
Fatou Bensouda of failing to
thoroughly investigate what
happened in Eldoret North
constituency ahead of the
2007 elections.
Mr Essa Faal, the deputy
presidents lawyer, said the
prosecution did not take time
to cross-check statements
given by Witness 604.
The witness had initially told
the prosecutor that Mr Ruto
held a harambee on November
19 2007 in an unidentified
school in the constituency
but the defence disputed that
saying the said fund raiser was
held in July the same year. The
witness yesterday agreed that
there was no such harambee
on the indicated date. Mr Ruto
was the area MP.
The prosecution did not
even check the newspapers
that showed Mr Ruto was
elsewhere the whole day,
said Mr Faal.
The hearing focused on the
harambee that was held in a
school in Eldoret North con-
stituency in 2007 which the
witness earlier told the court
Mr Ruto incited the attendants
to prepare for violence incase
ODM lost the elections.
The defence provided a range
of documents to prove that the
witness lied about the event.
The lawyer provided the wit-
ness the schools Visitors Book
and a log book showing that
there was only one harambee
that was held in July 2007. The
defence team also played TV
clips to prove that Mr Ruto at-
tended the harambee in July.
The court allowed the team
more time for cross-examina-
tion.
Recanted testimony
The defence cross-examined
witness 604 the whole day and
put him to task to explain why
he had provided wrong dates
and incorrect accounts to the
prosecutor. The witness has al-
ready recanted his witness and
had withdrawn from testifying
but the court compelled him to,
among others, testify through
a video link from a secret loca-
tion in Nairobi.
Faal: I put to you that all
major parties, ODM, PNU and
ODM-K held their primaries on
17/11/2007, is that right?
Witness: I do not have any
objections.
Faal: Would you agree that
the entry of November 15 in
your diary is incorrect?
Witness: yes.
Faal: I have examined the
diaries and observed that you
recorded the Post-Election
Violence in two diaries, is
that right?
Witness: Yes
Faal: You presented the two
diaries believing that you story
will be more believable, is that
right?
Witness: Yes.

ecution has placed the accused
in a position not countenanced
by the Statute, nor by any true
conception of justice, namely
that of an individual in respect
of whom there is insucient evi-
dence to prosecute but who must
nevertheless endure the stigma of
criminal charges and subjection
to a prolonged criminal process,
his lawyers, Steven Kay and Gil-
lian Higgins argued.
The defence respectfully
requests the chamber to deny
the prosecutions request for a
further adjournment, terminate
proceedings, and issue a nal
determination of the charges
against Mr Kenyatta, the de-
fence said.
This is the third time Mr
Kenyatta is requesting for the
termination of the charges.
The rst attempt was made
shortly after the prosecution
dropped charges against former
head of Public Service Francis
Muthaura. He made another at-
tempt in October 2013 after the
withdrawal of key witnesses.
This came as the victims
asked the Trial Chamber to
make a nding of non-compli-
ance and refer Kenya to the
Assembly of State Parties of
the Rome Statute.
Their lawyer, Mr Fergal
Gaynor, in response to the pros-
ecutions September 5 request for
indenite adjournment, asked the
Trial Chamber to consider the
possibility of issuing a warrant
of arrest against Mr Kenyatta for
obstruction of justice.
The Trial Chamber should
make a nding of non-compli-
ance under Article 87(7), and
warn the accused of his liability
for arrest for obstruction of jus-
tice in violation of the summons
conditions in this case, said Mr
Gaynor in his submission on be-
half of the 20,000 victims.
Ms Bensouda had asked
the chamber to indefinitely
postpone the trial because the
available evidence is insucient
to prove Mr Uhuru Kenyattas
alleged criminal responsibility
beyond reasonable doubt.

Police boss orders
arrest of leaders
BY NATION REPORTER
Inspector General of Police
David Kimaiyo yesterday or-
dered the arrest of politicians
over heckling that interrupted
President Kenyattas rally in
Migori on Monday.
He said political leaders
should bear responsibility for
the actions of their supporters
and followers, but the police
chief did not give names of
those targeted.
Im directing my ocers
to investigate and institute
appropriate legal action
against all people who might
have been involved in this
incident, either directly or
indirectly. Respect for our
institutions including the
Presidency is not negotiable,
Mr Kimaiyo (below) said in a
statement.
The police chief added that
the Criminal Procedure Act,
commonly referred to as
the Penal Code outlawed
disruption of public gath-
erings using threatening,
abusive or insulting words
or behaviour with the in-
tent to provoke breach
of peace.
The statement
was read by

person Gatiria

All aspects will be in-
vestigated in disregard of a
persons status in the society.
Action will be taken against
anyone who played a role

Preliminary investigations
showed the rowdy youths, who
also threw chairs and shoes,
were hired by a local politician.

M
ore than 40 people
arrested in connec-

Mandera County have es-
caped from police custody.
The 44 were arrested by
police and the military on
Monday and taken to Man-
dera police station where they
were locked up in the cells.
Detectives who went to
interrogate them the follow-
ing day were shocked to nd
the group missing and senior
police ocers at the station
could not explain the disap-
pearance.
Preliminary investigations
showed that the cells doors
and windows were intact, sug-
gesting an inside job.
Senior ocers from Nairobi
are now investigating the
matter.
Meanwhile, a county
administrative officer was
arrested and three members
of the county assembly re-
corded statements over the
violence that has raged for
three weeks.
The ghting pitting the De-
godia and the Garreh clans
has left 31 people dead, 155
injured and thousands dis-
placed.
Yesterday, Inspector Gen-
eral of Police David Kimaiyo
said in a statement that ve
leaders had recorded state-
ments over the violence,
while 43 suspects had been
arrested and charged over
various criminal oences.
The statement, read by
police spokesperson Gatiria
Mboroki, said three AK-47
ries and 403 bullets were
found.
The statement did not men-
tion the escape from Mandera
police station.
Mr Kimaiyo directed that
MPs in Wajir and Mandera
counties should record
statements but that had not
happened by last evening.
In the violence that started
last month heavily armed as-
sailants raided Rhamu town
took the ght to other parts of
the County including Banisa
and Chroqo in Guba, Ogor-
wein as well as Gofa.
Mr Kimaiyo and Interior
cabinet secretary Joseph Ole
Lenku visited the areas at the
weekend.
They held meetings with
local leaders, before calling
for disarmament of all the
armed groups operating
there.
The ghting between the
Garreh and Degodia clans
of the Somali community
has attracted armed groups
from Ethiopia.
About 200 heavily armed
men from Ethiopia carried
out one of the attacks in
Guba last month
All attacks were marked
by wanton destruction of
property .
More than 300 houses were
burnt, including schools and
health centres.
The entry of a heavily
armed group from Ethio-
pia complicates the fragile
situation further.
An earlier report by senior
ocers from Nairobi said the
200 assailants were dressed
in military fatigues and raided
Banisa.

New charge
for suspect
in Sh1.3bn
heroin case
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A suspect in the Sh1.3 billion
heroin case has been charged with
stealing Sh1.9 million.
Mr Maur Abdalla Bwanamaka,
the chairman of the Chama Cha
Uzalendo (CCU) party, was own
from Mombasas Shimo la Tewa
Prison to Nairobi to answer charges
of forgery and theft.
The suspect (below) denied forg-
ing a cheque for Sh1.9 million from
the CCU payable to himself.
He is further accused of forg-
ing a letter of resignation of the
partys treasurer, Ms Caroline
Mumbua Malinda, and presenting
it to Commercial Bank of Africa
(CBA), where he allegedly stole
the money.
Former assistant minister Wav-
inya Ndeti, the partys leader, has
been listed as a witness.
A prosecutor urged the court to
allow Mr Bwanamakas detention
to enable police complete inves-
tigations and requested that he
be detained at Kileleshwa Police
Station for two days.
The magistrate granted the re-
quest and allowed police to hold
him until September 15 when he
will be taken back to court.
Mr Bwanamaka is among 12 peo-
ple accused of tracking the heroin
that was destroyed in the Indian
Ocean two weeks ago along ship that
carried. (President Uhuru Kenyatta
witnessed the destruction)
The accused include nine Paki-
stanis and an Indian.
A magistrate in Mombasa had
granted them a bond of Sh5 mil-
lion each but the decision was
suspended after the Director of
Public Prosecutions challenged it
at the High Court.

M
ore than 500,000 primary
and secondary school leavers
can now benet from a new
government document that provides
guidance on careers.
The Kenya National Examinations
Council (Knec) has, for the rst time
in the history of the exam system,
published a career guide booklet.
The first edition of the Career
Booklet 2014 is modelled on a simi-
lar document the Education ministry
produced on the advent of the 8-4-4
system but was inexplicably discon-
tinued despite its popularity.
A number of students completing
school, lack basic and critical informa-
tion on foundations of career planning
and choice, the document says.
Some enrol to study a course where
they clearly lack basic foundation.
Currently, those who fail to gain
direct entry to secondary school and
universities are forced to seek admis-
sion to tertiary institutions through
trial and error, many of them una-
ware of the courses they can pursue
as gateway to better careers.
But the new document, targeting
courses in business and technology,
now provides crucial information on
more than 100 courses oered in
colleges approved by the govern-
ment.
The booklet targets candidates who
scored below C plain, most of whom
are not able to gain straight entry to
universities. Last year, about 320,000
students who sat the Kenya Certicate
of Secondary Education examination
scored average grades of C plain and
below (See table below).
Cumulatively, about 500,000 can-
didates have obtained mean grades
that are targeted by the advice in the
career booklet. At the Kenya Certi-
cate of Primary Education, 200,000
candidates failed to gain places in the
2013 exam.
It indicates the qualications to
courses in human resource, supplies,
medical laboratory technology, social
development among others.
The graduates of the courses
will stand a chance of nding jobs
in hospitals, research institutions,
learning organisations, manufactur-
ing industries and petroleum sector,
it says. It is the rst time Knec is
providing a document giving full ca-
reer course guidelines to secondary
school students.
The career course guideline is in-
tended to give information on entry
requirements to course choices after
completion of school.
It gives a variety of programmes
examined by the Knec at artisan, craft,
certicate, diploma, higher diploma
and professional levels for school
leavers to study.
This Career Course Guide, which
will be distributed to all schools in
Kenya, addresses the specic sub-
ject requirements for specic career
courses and the various career elds
to choose from, the council says.
Starting this year, the Kenya
Universities and Colleges Central
Placement Service officially took
over the processing of admission
of government-sponsored students
to universities and middle level col-
leges.

Police to blame for most gun
related deaths, says report
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Over 200 cases of gun
related killings by law
enforcement agents have
been documented in Kenya
over the last two years, a new
research by an anti-torture
organisation has revealed.
According to the Inde-
pendent Medico-Legal Unit
(IMLU), most gun-related
deaths (67 percent) were
caused by law enforcement
agents with the remaining
percentage accountable to
thugs and undetermined
causes.
The six-page report titled
Guns: Our security, our
dilemma! Enhancing ac-
countability for police use
of rearms points out that
proportion of gun deaths due
to police shooting was high-
est in Nairobi (68.5 percent)
and lowest in Kakamega
(26.3 percent).
According to IMLU, oc-
ers were responsible for 64
percent of male deaths and
36.3 percent of female deaths
with the average age of the
victims being 28 years.
Complaints by relatives,
witnesses and community
members indicate an unlaw-
ful pattern of rearm use.
We are aware of the threat
posed by armed crime and
take cognizance of the fact
that pursing armed criminals
is a hazardous process.
But the use of rearms by
the police has to be within
the connes of the law, the
research, signed by IMLU
executive director Mr Peter
Kiama says.
Proportion of gun
deaths attributed to po-
lice shooting highest in
Nairobi at 68.5pc.
Police ocers are re-
sponsible for 64 percent
of male deaths and
36.3 percent of female
deaths.
Average victim age is 28.

T
he High Court has
suspended the release
Sh360 million to three
major political parties.
Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi
restrained the registrar of po-
litical parties Lucy Ndungu
from releasing the money set
aside for political party fund-
ing in the 2014/2015 nancial
year pending the ruling of an
application by more than ten
small parties that participated
in the last General Election.
In order not to render the
petitioners case nugatory, I
direct that no disbursement
to political parties should be
made until Monday next week
when I shall issue a compre-
hensive ruling on the matter,
said Ms Ngugi.
The money was scheduled
to be disbursed to the Or-
ange Democratic Movement
(ODM), The National Alli-
ance (TNA) and the United
Republican Party (URP),
the only parties qualied to
get the funding according
to the outcome of the 2013
elections.
According to the Political
Parties Act, only parties that
garner at least ve per cent
of votes cast during a General
Election qualify for the party
funds. The Act does not rec-
ognise coalitions.
Only ODM, TNA and URP
qualified for state funding
after they garnered a com-
bined total of 65 per cent of
votes in the 2013 elections.
During the 2013/2014 fi-
nancial year, TNA got 43.3
per cent of the funds while
ODM got 38.5 per cent and
URP 13.7 per cent.
The Political Parties Forum
Coalition, Muungano Party
and Kenya National Congress
(KNC) last year challenged
the legality of the Act claim-
ing that it unfairly locked
out fringe parties and failed
to promote democracy.
Justice David Majanja how-
ever dismissed their petition
in February, ruling that the
Political Parties Act was not
unconstitutional and did not
discriminate against the fringe
parties.
The small parties have
however appealed against
the decision with their ap-
plication still pending at the
Court of Appeal.
They sought to stop the
disbursement claiming that
the registrar can release the
funds before their appeal is
determined.
Through lawyer Charles
Kanjama, the parties argued
that the registrar is in the
process of allocating the
Sh360 million released by
the Treasury when their ap-
peal is still pending and which
action will make it a waste of
judicial time.
Should the registrar be
allowed to proceed, the peti-
tioners will be prejudiced and
suer irreparable harm, said
Mr Kanjama.
Lawyers representing the
registrar of political parties,
ODM, TNA and URP however
opposed the application on
grounds that it was an abuse
of the court process.

Ms Jane Njeri, from Gachie

the camp by a Kenyan consulate
ocial after allegedly breaching
a contract she signed with her

Ms Njeri went to the Middle
East country last April to work

employer after complaining of
being overworked.
Yesterday, her family appealed

her there without success.
However the agent who did
not want to identify herself said

there was little they could do

did not inform them when she

The best we can do is to

K
enyas war on poaching is
paying dividends, the Kenya
Wildlife Service (KWS) said
yesterday.
Director-General William Kiprono
said the number of animals killed by
poachers had drastically gone down
in recent years and the situation is
set to get even better.
Kenya is doing far much better as
recent census show increase in wildlife
numbers, compared to other countries
such as Uganda and South Africa who
had to deploy their military forces to
ght poachers, Mr Kiprono said.
Mr Kiprono who spoke in Macha-
kos where he opened a workshop
for rangers and scientists dismissed
calls to declare poaching a national
disaster saying such a move would
kill tourism.
The country has made a lot of
gains in containing the problem and
the poaching menace was under
control.
Our sustained eorts in dealing
with poaching cartels have been suc-
cesful and I can say the worst is now
behind us, he said.
Mr Kiprono accused conservation
groups of waging a smear campaign
using alarmingly manufactured g-
ures about the crisis in Kenya to
attract donors funds.
Statistics show a decline in poach-
ing cases since 2012 and there is a
dierent trend contrary to what some
lobby groups have been portraying,
Mr Kiprono said.
Up to the end of last month, Kenya
had lost 116 elephants and 26 rhinos
to poachers. Comparatively, we are
winning this war because in 2012 we
lost 384 elephants and 30 rhinos while
in 2011, some 289 elephants and 29
rhinos were killed he explained.
The director said he was not down-
playing the magnitude of wildlife
crime but reiterated that declaring
poaching a national disaster will be
counter productive.
Conservationists have repeatedly
said KWS was losing the ght against
poachers and that the countrys famed
wildlife will soon be no more.
A lobby group, Kenyans United
Against Poaching (KUAPO), has so
far gathered more than 20,000 sig-
natures as it seeks to present a plea
to President Kenyatta to declare
poaching a national disaster.
Their petition is currently being
scrutinised by the Parliamentary
Committee on Environment and
Natural Resources
More elephants are being killed
in South Africa and Uganda than in
Kenya. Why havent those countries
declared poaching a disaster? Mr
Kipr0no said. Thes calls are driven
by sinister motives.
He said Kenya is yet to reach that
critical stage and declaring poaching
a national disaster will only scare o
tourists. Figures being bandied around
are misleading and intended to justify
donor funding to NGOs.
Recently enacted Wildlife Conser-
vation Act spells out tough penalties
including life sentences and Sh20
million nes for poaching oences,
and will boost the war on poaching,
he said.

Atwoli seeks
more funds
for NHIF
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The government should allocate
funds in its annual budget to boost
the National Hospital Insurance
Fund (NHIF) kitty that is funded
by employees and employers con-
tributions.
Central Organisation of Trade
Union Secretary General Francis At-
woli said in Mombasa yesterday the
extra funds from tax payers would
supplement the workers meagre
contributions.
Mr Atwoli said to achieve univer-
sal health care for the benet of the
workers, all the NHIF contributions
should not be left to the workers
who earn low incomes.
For NHIF to be trusted by the
workers, he said, it required the
institution to strengthen and build
its capacity to take charge of the
members contributions.
Full medicare
Cotu has over two million
members with 47 affiliates and
it is through such assurance
that workers will be assured that
their money is safe to provide full
medicare, Mr Atwoli said during
a brieng on Cotus consultations
with the NHIF management at the
Serena Beach Hotel.
On the controversy surround-
ing the increase in membership
contributions, Mr Atwoli said
consultations were ongoing with
the management and a consensus
will be reached possibly by today.
In the previous regime, the
management failed to consult on
the proposed Sh1,000 to Sh2,000
increment that our union rejected,
he said. However, he admitted that
there was need to review the con-
tributions.

KDF troops set to
join regional standby force.
The Kenya Defence Forces,
the report said, is set to
get approval to contribute
troops to the East Africa
Standby Force (EASF).
EASFs business is to
keep the region peaceful
during times of conict
in situations such as in
Somalia and South Sudan.
Lately, they are working
together on counter-
terrorism. Its members are
Kenya, Burundi, Comoros,
Djibouti, Ethiopia, Rwanda,
the Seychelles, Somalia,
Sudan and Uganda. It is the
most advanced in formation
of all the African standby
brigades.
All this might seem like
ordinary stu, but it isnt.
The thing with modern
Eastern African armies is
that they stand and ght.
They dont, like happened
in Mali, take ight when
they hear rumours of
rebels advancing. And they
dont do the Naija scoot.
Recently, the Boko Haram
militants overran a town
in northeastern Nigeria.
The soldiers ed with the
civilians barefoot and in

armies ee? For starters,
they have a lot of practice
ghting at home, in
neighbouring countries,
and working in troubled
lands like Somalia, South
Sudan, the Darfur region,
and so forth. But some of
it has to do with the craft
they have developed from
their joint military exercises,
especially the East African
Community armies.
Some time ago, I read a
leaked brief from the EAC
headquarters. One of the
fascinating bits was on the
joint training exercises,
many of them with the US
military, that the regional
forces hold and we in the
media never get to know.
There are many.
In July, during the 20th
liberation anniversary in
Rwanda, I went on a trip
that traced the route of the
Rwanda Patriotic Army
rebels during the war that
eventually brought Paul
Kagame to power.
One of the stops was
Gabiro, the scene of a lot of
military activity during the
war. It used to be a village
when we covered the war.
Now it is a small modernish
town. It also has a combat
training school.
The school is also the
East African regional
training centre for non-
commissioned ocers. You
hear about these military
schools in Africa, and often
they are just shacks and
overgrown grounds.
The Gabiro centre will
surprise you. It is a world-
class facility, and there the
regions NCOs hone their
battleeld skills again,
without us in the media
knowing.
What we are saying is that
the EASF is another step
in a major reorganisation
of our militaries that could
fundamentally change even
how national politics is
conducted in East Africa in
the years to come.
My own sense is that
because terrorism has
become transnational, and
regional crises like South
Sudan have consequences
way beyond their borders,
in organising as standby
brigades or peace-
enforcement consortiums
the militaries are creating
a regional federation. Only
that they are not aware they
are doing so.
But even without that, the
expansion of the military
role all over Africa is
happening in subtle ways.
In Liberia and Sierra Leone,
they have been deployed to
enforce Ebola quarantines
(and, not surprisingly,
rogues took the opportunity
to solicit bribes from people
to let them escape the
quarantine zones. Some
things never change).
In Egypt, the military
which already dabbles
in business is to lead in
funding and working on the
$4 billion expansion of the
Suez Canal. There will be
industrial and logistics hubs
built around the expanded
canal that will cost another $4
million. It has been awarded
to a Bahrain registered rm,
Dar Al-Handasah Egypt. The
Egyptian army is the local
partner.
African armies are
getting multi-skilled,
making money, learning
to work regionally and
internationally. This gives
them a knowledge base,
resources, and networks
that dont have to rely on
civilian structures, and
therefore great autonomy
and ability to purse pan-
regionalism.
What next? Will the
Kenya-Uganda armies take
over the new railway to
end the bickering? Will the
regional armies standardise
their equipment? Will
they federate ahead of the
politicians? Well, this time
we will be there to tell you.

Punish harshly teachers
who fail their students
T
he Kenya National Examinations Council
has in recent times introduced measures to
ensure all eligible candidates are registered to
write Standard Eight or Form Four tests.
Specically, the council has introduced a policy
where registration is done a year in advance to
avoid a last-minute rush.
Further, the registration has been automated to
ensure eciency and transparency. Candidates or
their parents can easily check on the status of their
registration online and detect any irregularity that
may have happened.
However, evidence is emerging that some schools
still lock out candidates from sitting the national
examinations by failing to register them.
Reports from the council indicate that 1,500
candidates may not write this years exams because
their schools did not submit their names and pay
the requisite fees on time. This is an old problem
that recurs with worrying regularity.
It cannot be attributed to anything else other than
negligence or sheer fraud. Too often, some schools
collect examamination fees but fail to submit the
money to the council. In a few cases, schools make
wrong entries that invalidate the registration.
None of this is acceptable. All schools preparing
candidates for national examinations understand
the rules and regulations. They know the
procedures and the timelines. Therefore, those
who do not follow the procedures and register
candidates deserve punishment.
Putting a child through primary or secondary
education is a massive investment. Denying them a
chance to sit the national exams at the end of their
school cycle is therefore a painful experience. Thus
the headteachers or managers of schools that are
guilty of this must be punished harshly for violating
professional responsibilities.
Rethink anti-media Bill
T
he media will be encouraged by the remarks
made by National Assembly Speaker Justin
Muturi on a Bill that could, if passed in its
current form, have disastrous consequences.
The Speakers comments come in the wake of
fears that some of the provisions in the proposed
law could hamper the coverage of proceedings in
Parliament.
Speaker Muturi says that though the
Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment)
Bill contains useful provisions, some of the
suggestions are rather ludicrous.
Of particular concern is the clause intended
to create a new oence called defamation of
Parliament and for which oenders would be ned
up to Sh500,000 for making disparaging remarks
about the House or its members.
But even more important is the fact that freedom
of expression is guaranteed in the Constitution
and that the people have a right to know what their
representatives in the law-making body are doing.
The media have the useful role of disseminating
information and should be supported and not
unfairly targeted through punitive legislation, as
there are already enough laws in the statute books
to fully take care of those who err.

DISTRESSED. For how long will motorists and pe-
destrians continue to suer the consequences of the
frequent clashes between hawkers and the Nairobi City
County askaris at Ngara? asks Damaris Ngigi. Quite
often, she moans, motorists suddenly get caught up in
the mayhem with their cars getting stoned though they
have no idea about the cause of the conict. As they
swallow teargas, nearby schools are also aected. Who
will put an end to this impunity? She wants to know.
WHOSE BUILDING IS THIS? Lands Cabinet Sec-
retary Charity Ngilu has been doing a commendable
job at Ardhi House, notes David Jasondu. However, he
wishes she could liaise with the city government to
establish whether a huge building coming up at the in-
tersection of Mbagathi and Langata roads, directly op-
posite T-Mall, was ocially cleared. The property is
just next to a roundabout and touches on a river bank
at a location that was clearly demarcated as riparian
land. Its allocation is a mystery that Ngilu and Gover-
nor Evans Kidero should help unravel?
EDUCATE CRO0KED COP. There is crooked traf-
c policeman on a motorbike who has been preying
on motorists between the entrance to the National
Assembly and the Parliament Police Station in Nairobi,
Quince Viraj reports. He will, for example, insist that at
the roundabout, drivers indicate the direction in which
they are going. Can someone drum into his head that
vehicles at a roundabout have the right of way and it is
impossible to indicate where one will exit. Another of-
cer openly solicits bribes.
WRONG PRIORITY. Mt Kenya Universitys idea of
building latrines at a cost of Sh1 million for the people
displaced by post-election violence may sound like
a good corporate social responsibility project, but it
is ridiculous, considering that what they need most
is something to put in their stomachs, says Phoebe
Okullu. According to her, the priority should have
been a programme to boost the IDPs economic status
so they can build their own latrines. Her contact is

STANDARDISE BUMPS. Bumps being erected on
roads in densely populated areas should be standard-
ised as part of eorts to boost safety, urges Naro Moru
resident T.B. Muckle. He adds: The shape and dimen-
sions of all future bumps should be made so that they
allow a vehicle to go over smoothly at low speed, but
create severe jarring when one is speeding. The second
step is to mark them with quality paint for longevity
and good visibility, particularly for rst-time drivers at
night and in the rain.

ENVIRONMENT | Christian Turner & Andreas Peschke
M
any Kenyans tell us
how weather pat-
terns have changed
over recent years. The worlds
leading climate scientists say
the Earths climate is chang-
ing due to human activity. If
left unchecked, the eects of
climate change will be wide-
spread.
The British and German
governments chose Tuesday,
September 9, to raise interna-
tional awareness on climate
change. Our message is sim-
ple: It is not too late, but we
must act quickly.
The International Panel on
Climate Changes Fifth Assess-
ment Science Report, published
in September 2013, concluded
that warming of the climate
system is unequivocal.
Further climate change is
expected to increase the fre-
quency of extreme weather
events such as droughts,
oods, and heat waves. We
are already seeing the im-
pact of this, especially in
Kenya, which has endured
six droughts and two oods
between 1992 and 2009, af-
fecting 10 million people.
Drought is estimated to have
slowed down the countrys
economic growth by an aver-
age of 2.8 per cent per year.
The annual cost of climatic
shocks to Kenya alone is esti-
mated at about Sh44.3 billion
(about 2 per cent of the GDP).
If not addressed, climate
change will severely hamper
Kenyas ambition of achiev-
ing middle income status by
2030. As ever, the impact will
be disproportionately felt by
vulnerable groups, especially
women and those living in the
arid and semi-arid lands and
coastal regions.
We need a worldwide, large-
scale change to our energy
system to limit the eects of
climate change. The UK and
Germany are leading from
the front. We are investing
in low-carbon and energy-ef-
cient technologies, with an
increased focus on home-
grown renewable energy, to
create a sustainable supply of
aordable energy for consum-
ers and businesses alike. We
are pushing for an ambitious
EU energy and climate change
agreement that will lead to
a 40 per cent reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions by
2030.
Kenya is a leader in Africa
on climate change. We con-
gratulate the country on its
ambitious National Climate
Change Action Plan and the
Climate Bill currently before
Parliament. Kenya is a low
emitter, with a strong history
of utilising its renewable en-
ergy resources. Hydro energy
is long established and recent
times have seen signicant in-
creases in solar and wind.
Europe and Africa face many
of the same issues. Health,
urban planning, transport, and
aordable housing, all present
challenges to be addressed in
the light of climate change.
Climate change transcends
national borders. It must be a
core national and international
policy issue, recognised as
both an economic challenge
and an opportunity for innova-
tion and long-term sustainable
planning.
Decisive action is needed
at every level, from govern-
ments to citizens, all over
the world. No activity is too
small. Kenya is ideally placed
to further utilise and benet
from renewable technologies
such as solar, hydro, and wind
to maintain a thriving, green,
and sustainable economy. We
want to challenge the assump-
tion that we, or Kenya, face
a binary choice between the
environment and growth and
development. That is a false
choice. We need both. And we
can have both.
The UK and Germany are
actively deploying their own
climate nance to support low-
carbon development globally,
as well as encouraging others
to do their bit. The UKs 3.87
billion (about Sh554 billion)
International Climate Fund is
helping developing countries,
including Kenya, to reduce
emissions and mitigate the im-
pacts of climate change.
In a similar way, Germanys
International Climate Protec-
tion Initiative has supported
over 400 projects since 2008,
worth a total of 3.89 billion
(about Sh444 billion).
The UK and Germany are
committed to playing their
part in securing a climate -
nance commitment of about
Sh14.3 trillion per year by
2020 from a range of funding
sources and we are match-
ing our words with cash and
action.
By working together, all of
us in our dierent ways, we
can secure a future that is
greener, cleaner, stronger, and
more sustainable. Our partner-
ship with Kenya is a vital part
of this.

Youths demonstrate to create
awareness on climate change
M
zee Jomo Kenyatta in July 1976
told the Catholic bishops of
Eastern Africa that the Church
is the conscience of society. He told them
not to be afraid to speak out if the Execu-
tive wanders o the path and that if they
kept quiet, one day they would have to
answer for the mistakes of that arm of the
government.
Needless to say, our society needs
a conscience. Politics seems to have
taken centre stage, yet politicians, whose
hallmark is shrewdness, cannot be that
conscience. The shrewd only have a
mouth and a stomach, hence the syco-
phancy in our public aairs, including
school management.
One of the contributions of the Church
in keeping society on the right path is
the provision of education. The state can-
not manage church-sponsored schools
without the Church, which has invested
heavily in education. To be the conscience
of society, the Church should also engage
in other economic sectors, as well as feed
and clothe the poor.
The Church needs to be complimented,
not condemned, for its immense con-
tribution to education. The criticism
directed at the Church during a recent
Kisii County education conference is,
therefore, unfortunate, more so because it
came from a professor who should know
the problems facing church-sponsored
schools.
The closure of Cardinal Otunga and
Mangu high schools in 2001 was a result
of the arrogance of government o-
cials, who did not want to consult their
sponsors, the Catholic Church. Instead,
they wanted to impose their preferred
headteachers. The committee of profes-
sionals formed after the Kisii County
Education Conference may not succeed if
the Church is not involved.
It is little wonder then that while pri-
vate schools owned by Church-aliated
institutions have high standards and are
the envy of many, most public church-
sponsored schools are in a sorry state.
In America, parents have decided to
manage schools under the chartered
school arrangement in which they pool
resources to run the institutions. The
mushrooming of private schools in Kenya
reects this phenomenon and speaks
volumes about the waning condence in
public education.
The government is not a good manager.
It uses an economic model that equates
students to commodities without consid-
ering what is needed to educate a whole
person. Allocating money to schools is
certainly not enough. An archbishop of
Washington once asked the state educa-
tion department to give him half the
allocation in the budget for elementary
education and all the elementary schools
in the state of Washington to run.
After the introduction of free primary
education in 2003, there were many
strikes. This indicates that parents and
the Church have a vital role in school
management. The passing of the Basic
Education Bill 2013 notwithstanding,
there is a crisis in education in Kenya.
Since independence, families and
churches have developed schools organi-
cally under the principle of subsidiary and
solidarity. These schools reect the pref-
erences and traditions particular to the
communities where they are established.
The government should not impose a
management structure alien to schools.

T
hat President Kenyatta could
visit Migori County and
forced to cut short his war
against malaria by shoes-hurling
youths chanting slogans against
their governor is both shameful
and regrettable.
What is even more embarrass-
ing is that these events are being
termed pre-organised by a po-
litical network. Who are in these
networks? Arent there ocers on
the ground to carry out pre-visit in-
telligence before the Head of State
toured a county? Do we believe
that the so-called politicians who
organised to embarrass the Head
of State went to another planet to
plan their activities?
Our intelligence is a sham. No
wonder a car belonging to the
presidential motorcade could be
stolen and driven across the border
to Uganda.
NIS is reactive in every sense
and rarely pre-empts anything.
The implication is that these
activities were organised and our
NIS was unable to prevent what-
ever was planned. What if it was
something worse?
Kenyans are also tired of the pro-
ling of criminal activities. When
a drug haul is impounded, a small
man is arrested and prosecuted; the
owner remains unmasked. When
Lamu was attacked, there was po-
litical involvement; a lorry driver
is the only person I can remember
being taken to court.
Once the Nyanza Regional Com-
missioner Francis Mutie starts
talking about high-prole arrests,
then believe you me, the common
jobless village youth, who may not
be sober as you read this, is the one
they will arrest.
The assertion that there are even
M-Pesa records to prove the fund-
ing of hecklers is simply another
indicator that our intelligence
machinery trails events when the
ocers ought to be on top.

I am a member of the Cord, and
I want to use this opportunity to
condemn the disruption of the

However, our coalition leader,
Mr Raila Odinga, had nothing to
do with the hooligans who were
shouting ODM slogans much as
some Jubilee activists would want
us to believe.
Its disturbing that every time
an ugly incident happens, the per-
son to pin all the blame on is Mr
Odinga.
The Mau Forest evictions, ICC
indictments, Mpeketoni attacks, et
all, are deemed to have been caused
by Raila. Why then not lock him up
in jail if he is such a bad boy?
Lets stop this stone-age kind of
politics.

Appoint professionals to the boards of tourism agencies
The planned constitution of a board of governors
for the Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) is good
news. It is sad that all the corporations under the de-
partment of tourism lack functioning boards. Every
key decision by the organisations must wait for the
ministry head oce to give a nod.
This is very frustrating as the aected statutory
bodies are held captive by the ministry when crucial
decisions have to be made.
During the vetting of Ms Phyllis Kandie as Tourism
Cabinet Secretary, she promised Kenyans that consti-
tuting boards was her agenda number one. One and
half years later, the corporations are still operating
without boards. What happened to the promise?
The industry requires men and women who are
qualied and passionate about tourism. I urge the
minister to consider the input of the professional bod-
ies or trade organisations in the sector when consti-
tuting the boards.
Major stakeholders such as Kenya Association of
Hotel-keepers and Caterers (KAHC), Kenya Tourism
Federation (KTF), Kenya Association of Tour Opera-
tors (Kato) and Kenya Association of Travel Agents
(Kata) ought to be represented on the boards. That
way the boards will have people with relevant ex-
pertise and experience to turn around the important
sector.

Comment on the chaos during Uhurus visit to Migori County last Monday.
CHARLES NZIOKA: The President
is free to meet his people in any
county regardless of the areas politi-
cal stand whether they voted him
in or not. Its immature to disrupt a
presidential meeting because of few
politicians who want to gain political
mileage and divide Kenyans along
ethnic lines.
GAKONYO KIMANI: Unacceptable.
The organisers of such hooliganism
must be held responsible to serve as
an example to others.
J.M. CHEGE: When will young peo-
ple learn that primitive behaviour has
no chance in the 21 century?
ERICK MINGARE: Its normal for
presidents in Kenya to be heckled and
therefore the siege mentality being
overplayed by some politicians is suf-
focating. Moi was heckled at Uhuru
Park and mud was thrown at him; his
convoy was stoned in Western as he
tried to sell Mudavadi. Kibakis convoy
had objects hurled at it in Iten. Raila
got the same treatment at a hotel in
Karatina, and also in Embu and Meru.
The government should accept to
move on and stop throwing tantrums.

As the calls for referendum heats
up, I suppose many are yet to make
up their minds on which side to
back. Unfortunately, politicians have
already decided for them.
The issues that the plebiscite is
supposed to address are still largely
shrouded in mystery apart from the
calls for increased funding to the
counties which both the opposition,
Cord, and the pro-referendum gover-
nors strongly support.
If counties had lived up to their
billing as engines for development,
the clarion call Pesa Mashinani

The presence of the President ought
to have been a sobering moment and
they should not have washed their
dirty linen in public.
In a country where tribal stereo-
types abound, it is damaging when a
crowd appears to reinforce the same

quite some time to undo.
That some of the social media

Why take a whole two years? Will we

Governor faces probe over
Sh21.9m spent on oces
BY DAVID MACHARIA
davemash1@gmail.com
N
yandarua deputy Governor
Waithaka Mwangi Kirika is
among senior county oc-
ers to be investigated in connection
with Sh21.9 million allegedly spent
on oce renovations.
Some Sh12.8 million had been ear-
marked for the renovation of a private
building identied as the county head-
quarters. However, the county chiefs
are said to have inated the gure to
Sh21.9 million, according to a report
tabled in the assembly yesterday.
The County Assembly Public In-
vestment Committee report into the
expenditure described the transac-
tions as a rip-o and misuse of public
funds. The ndings by the nine-mem-
ber team, which doubles up as Public
Accounts Committee, says the county
bosses could not explain how a Sh12.8
million tender awarded to a contractor
for the repair of two oors and a car
park escalated to Sh21.9 million.
This happened at a time no building
in Ol Kalou sub-county could cost more
than Sh8 million, the report says.
A document showing the break-
down of how the money was used and
presented by Executive Committee
member for Finance John Ngaruiya
shows repairs on one of the oors cost
Sh2.9 million while those on second
one cost Sh3 million. The car park
repairs consumed Sh3.7 million.
The county also spent Sh3.6 million
to pay the annual rent upfront. The car
park monthly rent is Sh50,000.
The committee termed the deal as
waste of public money, noting that the
yet-to-be validated lease agreement
for the building said to be worth
Sh6 million is only for two years
and expires on July 1, next year.
The government also received
Sh61 million for the renovation
of former Ol Kalou Town Council
oces but no one has explained where
the money is. None of the ocers
who appeared before the committee
said what happened to the money,
says the report tabled by committee
chairman Silvester Mwangi Kagiri.
It recommends that action be taken
against the ocers responsible for
inating the renovation cost. They
should also be investigated further
by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption
Commission, the reports adds.
The deputy governor should bear
the blame for on-site changes of the
original gures to increase the cost
from Sh12.8 million to Sh21.9 million,

The office of the deputy gover-
nor should be interrogated on what
other interest it had in the project
other than being representative of
the client. This is because he pro-
posed a good number of additional
works that were all implemented leading
to signicant deal of escalating costs.
Among those recommended for
investigation are former county sec-
retary Isaac Githui, nance ocer
Jesse Mwangi, former head of sup-

County embarks on
massive road projects
BY BARNABAS BII
bbii@ke.nationmedia.com
A
n extensive upgrade of roads
has begun in Bungoma County
aimed at promoting tourism
and agriculture in the region.
Seven major roads leading to Mt
Elgon National Park are to be im-
proved at a cost of Sh100 million. In
addition, two bridges to the park are
under construction.
The projects will ease access to the
park for tourists and increase revenue
to the county government, according
to Governor Kenneth Lusaka.
The programme is a game changer
considering that agriculture and tour-
ism are the main income generation
sectors in the county, he said.
The county government has further
allocated Sh230 million to repair 18
dilapidated link roads in Bungoma,
Kimilili and Webuye towns, Mr Lu-
saka said.
Huge sums have been
allocated to improve
access to markets
and tourism sites
The rigorous infrastructure devel-
opment will open up major production
areas and promote development of
agriculture.
He said work had started on 68
rural roads in the 45 wards of the
county to improve access to urban
areas and markets for produce.
Works on the 10km Kapspkwony-
Kamuneru road will cost an additional
Sh14.7 million while the 5km Toroso-
Kapkota Barracks road will cost Sh7.5
million, according to the governor.
Also ongoing is the upgrade of
the 3km Kapkateny-Sacho-Wambete
road, at a cost of Sh4 million; the
Kaptalelio-Chepkoya Police Station
road, at Sh4 million; and the 3km
Toroso-Tuikut road, which will cost
Sh4.5 million.
In agriculture, Sh800 million will
be used to improve production and
value addition, Mr Lusaka says in a
county development plan.
Out of that, Sh19.9 million will be
used to develop green houses and in-
crease horticultural production, while
Sh56 million has been set aside for the
purchase of dairy cows and goats.
Meanwhile, the Nandi County Gov-
ernment plans to spend Sh2 billion in
the next ve years to improve tourism
as it seeks to open more avenues for
revenue generation.

50 villagers sick after
water wells poisoned
BY LILLIAN MUTAVI
Lmutavi@ke.nationmedia.com
M
ore than 50 people have
been taken to hospital after
consuming poisoned water
from Londokwe River in Kathonzweni
sub-county in Makueni.
Police said the river, along which
more than 40 wells were dug for
domestic use, is believed to have
been contaminated with an animal
pesticide known as Triatix as empty
bottles were found on its banks on
Tuesday morning.
Speaking to journalist at Makueni
Referral Hospital on Tuesday, Medical
Ocer of Health Solomon Maundu
said the victims were suering from
severe stomach pains, headache, and
burns and redness on the mouth and
lips.
We have received 57 patients and
the number is expected to rise, he
said.
Dr Maundu said ambulances had
been sent to the region to transport
Police boss says empty
bottles of toxic animal
pesticide found on the
banks of the river
more victims to the hospital if the
need arose.
Kiteta/Kisau Ward Representative
Jackson Ngovi said the Makueni
County Assembly would deliver
water in bowsers to schools and
market places.
All available water bowsers in the
county will be used to supply water
to all the market places and the nine
schools in the area where residents
can access it for domestic use and for
their animals, said Mr Ngovi.
Kathonzweni police boss Samuel
Waweru said the poisoned water had
turned white and was unt for human
consumption.
We found empty bottles of Triatix
on the river bank and the water in the
wells had turned white, an indication
that someone had poured the pesticide
into the water, said Mr Waweru.
He said the frogs in the river had
died and warned residents not to use
the water for domestic use.
Mr Waweru said no arrests had been
made and appealed to the public to
report anybody suspected to have
committed the act.
Any report you make to the police
will be treated as condential as we
want to nd the person who commit-
ted such a crime, he said.
Early this year, more than 20 people
died in Kitise Ward in the same area
after consuming a toxic brew.

Secondary school teach-
ers are protesting against
the impromptu introduction
of post-mock examinations
across the region by the county
government.
About 3,600 teachers repre-
senting 292 secondary schools
in Muranga, through the Kenya
Union of Post Primary Educa-
tion Teachers (Kuppet) county
branch, yesterday said the
exam was introduced by Gov-
ernor Mwangi wa Iria without
prior consultation with stake-
holders including the county
education oce.
The governor imposed
the exam on schools and
candidates without prior con-
sultations with all education
stakeholders in the county,
said branch Kuppet executive
secretary Phillip Kimani.
The post-mock exams
started last week, soon after
schools reopened for the third
term.
Some school principals,
who talked to the Nation on
condition of anonymity for
fear of victimization, said the
governors idea was good but
the timing was wrong.

REPUBLIC OF KENYA
MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND PETROLEUM
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR CONSULTANCY
SERVICES FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCE
ASSESSMENT IN 44 COUNTIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF
COUNTY ENERGY PLANS IN 3 PILOT COUNTIES
The Government of Kenya has received fnancing from the French Development Agency (AFD) under Credit
No. CKE 1038 for Extended Technical Assistance, whose main undertaking is development of a Generation
and Transmission masterplan, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consultancy services for renewable
energy resource assessment and county energy plans in pilot counties.
The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum is currently undertaking survey of Renewable Energy Technologies in
three pilot counties of Nakuru, Meru and Kakamega, and therefore seeks consultancy services to scale up the
survey on renewable energy technologies and mapping of the assessment of their potentials in the remaining
44 counties. In addition, it is intended to develop County Energy Plans in three (3) counties.
The overall objective of this study is to establish the extent to which renewable energy forms are utilized and
are accessible to the Kenyan people, as well as assess and map the potential of the locally available renewable
energy resources. The study will cover all forms of renewable energy and associated technologies, including:
wind, solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal, biogas, frewood, charcoal, bioethanol, biodiesel, small hydro power,
solar box cookers, solar driers, freless cookers and energy effciency and conservation measures. In addition
it will cover kerosene and LPG both of which are not renewable but nevertheless, information on them is
required for planning purposes as they are used for household cooking and lighting. The exercise will involve
review and consolidation of existing maps/studies/reports, on-site data capturing, and development of GIS data
storage and a retrieval system.
In three (3) of the Counties, the Consultant will, in collaboration with the Ministry, County Governments and
other key stakeholders, develop County Energy Plans. The study will be conducted within a period of not more
than Eighteen (18) months.
In particular, the Consultant will:
1. Map out and establish a GIS database for Renewable Energy Technologies and their potentials
2. Analyze the use of the different forms of energy at domestic, institutional, and small and micro
enterprise levels (quantity, quality, pricing, availability, affordability and supply, demand and fnancing)
and make appropriate recommendations).
3. Analyze the different technologies for each energy type (Cost, availability, affordability and
fnancing).
4. Assess the energy effciency practices at domestic, institutional and small and micro enterprise
levels and make appropriate recommendations
5. Identify barriers to supply enhancement strategies, interfuel substitution, access to fuels and
associated technologies and make appropriate recommendations
6. Evaluate the impact of policy reforms in the power and petroleum subsectors on access to
electricity and LPG by domestic, institutional and small and micro enterprise consumers and make
appropriate recommendations
7. Propose changes necessary in the legal and regulatory framework to promote effcient supply and
use of the different forms of renewable energy.
8. Develop County Energy Plans for three (3) pilot counties
The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing
the services. Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualifed to perform
the services (e.g. brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of
appropriate skills among staff, among others.). Interested frms must submit the following information:
(i) Experience of the frm to undertake works of similar nature (provide list of studies conducted of a
similar nature in the last 10 years)
(ii) Capability of key personnel, including their qualifcations and competence in undertaking the
consultancy works. Such personnel must include specialists in the following disciplines; a) Renewable
Energy with BSc degree; b) Energy effciency and conservation with BSc degree, c) Socio-economics
with a BSc/BA degree d) GIS with a BSc/BA degree. Knowledge of renewable energy technologies is a
must for all the specialists.
(iii) A brief outline of the technical approach and methodology for carrying out the study.
Consultants may associate with other frms in the form of a joint venture or a sub-consultancy to enhance their
qualifcations.
Eligible frms are requested to submit their Expression of Interest for this assignment to:
The Principal Secretary
Ministry of Energy and Petroleum
Nyayo House
P. O. Box 30582-00100

Drivers speed to their deaths despite warnings

T
erse danger warning signs lit-
ter a three-kilometre stretch of
the Maai Mahiu-Narok Road at
Ntuleles Pinyiny Hills but they have
failed to deter drivers from speeding
at this death trap.
Ironically, Pinyiny in the Maasai
language can be translated to the
cursed area.
A kilometre from a sharp bend as
one approaches Ntulele township is
a sign urging drivers: Reduce Speed
Now, another in red screams Engage
Low Gear followed by a chilling one
reading Death Trap, metres away
from red luminous lines across the
road that warn motorists to drive
carefully. It is at this black spot that
41 people died when a City to City
bus they were travelling in crashed
on August 29, 2013. Two months
later, on October 25, a 14-seater
matatu crashed at the same spot,
killing nine.
A huge three-metre white cross
inscribed with the words May God
Bless Our Roads a plea to God to
restore sanity on Kenyan roads has
also been erected at the spot.
Minute-long silence
My solemn minute-long silence in
honour of those who perished was
rudely interrupted by the sound of
a speeding four-wheel-drive vehicle
closely followed by four others being
driven at equally high speed.
You know you are entering Ntulele
when you see numerous motorcycles
carrying charcoal and lorries with
young men perched dangerously on
top of huge loads.
After a series of bumps, you come
across elds of lush healthy maize,
barley and wheat on its many hills.
But this idyllic view is quickly

wreckages at Ntulele Police Post.
At Ntulele Trading Centre, numer-
ous women sell dry maize in plastic
containers that once held cooking fat,
while others sit on sacks of charcoal
waiting for buyers.
This comes as a surprise to rst-
time visitors as traditionally, women
are expected to stay at home looking
after children, cooking and tending
livestock.
In Pinyiny area, a tourist van slows
down in observance of the road signs
while matatu drivers carefully ma-
noeuvre their way downhill next to
the new concrete embankment. But
even this new barrier bears fresh scars
from being hit by speeding vehicles.
If drivers observed these road
signs, a lot of families would be spared
the agony of losing loved ones and
bread winners, says a resident, Mr
Peter Ole Sankale.
Pythons drive?
Some residents blame a python that
was killed for the accidents but this
is quickly rebutted by blogger James
Omondi who said: Slow down! Speed
kills! Do pythons drive?! while
Sammy KK said: The cause of ac-
cidents is well known. High speeds,
fatigue, poor roads and drunken driv-
ing. Forget this poor African science,

Case on dead
mans estate
set for ruling
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The High Court in Mombasa is
set to determine a case in which
two women are ghting for the
estate of a Belgian man who died
late last year.
But the court is yet to set the
date when the two Ms Amina
Marder who was a girlfriend of the
deceased, Mr Geert Derere and
his daughter Ms Amelie Derere will
be cross examined to determine the
rightful owner of the estate.
High Court Judge Maureen
Odero issued the orders following
an application by Ms Marder, the
daughter of a Coast politician, de-
manding letters of administration
for Mr Dereres estate, saying she
was a dependant.
However, Ms Derere objected,
on the grounds that she was the
only surviving heir to her fathers
estate.
Ms Derere claims her father ar-
rived in Kenya on October 23, last
year and on the same day died
mysteriously while in Ms Marders
house in Nyali, Mombasa.
Six days after Mr Dereres death,
the Belgian embassy wrote to the
Kenyan Government seeking per-
mission to conduct investigations.
The case will be mentioned next
week for directions.

Tourism groups reject travel levies
BY MATHIAS RINGA

T
our operators have rejected
hefty travel charges proposed
by the county government.
In its Finance Bill for 2014/2015,
the government intends to charge
an annual fee of Sh528,000 for tour
buses registered in other counties, but
which take visitors to Kili.
The Bill further proposes to charge
Sh408,000 for minibuses, Sh288,000
for vans and Sh216,000 for cars car-
rying tourists.
Alternatively, it proposes a monthly
fee of Sh44,000 for buses, Sh34,000
for mini-buses, Sh24,000 for vans,
and Sh18,000 for cars.
Firms that would prefer to pay daily
charges would part with Sh2,200 for
buses, Sh1,500 for minibuses, Sh1,000
for vans and Sh900 for cars.
Kenya Association of Tour Opera-
tors (Kato) Coast branch chairperson
Monika Solanki yesterday said the
levies were ill-timed and, if adopted,
could lead to the closure of travel
rms.
Charges suggested
in Bill should be
scrapped to save
rms, they argue
There will
be mass
lay-os
if Kili
County
imposes
travel
charges
as tour
rms will
be unable
to pay

Kuldip Tours

Oberoi
Kili | Executive ocer says proposed charges are meant to ensure fair play among tour rms
Already, the companies pay opera-
tional fees to the Tourism ministry
and for Transport Licensing Board
(TLB) licences to operate across the
country, she said.
The ocial warned that the levies
would be unconstitutional since tour-
ism is a national function.
We do reject the charges since they
are illegal, she said in Kikambala at
a forum convened to discuss the Bill.
They will also be a double expense
to tour rms, which are already ex-
periencing hard times.
Kuldip Touring Company direc-
tor Ishpal Oberoi expressed similar
fears, saying Kili would become an
expensive destination. Currently,
tour companies are hit hard by lack of
business owing to the tourism slump
experienced across the country, he
said, warning of possible lay-os.
Kenya Association of Hotelkeepers
and Caterers (KAHC) Coast branch
executive ocer Sam Ikwaye said
the county government should give
incentives to operators instead of in-
troducing levies at a time when the
tourism sector is struggling.
Finance executive John Kombe,
however, defended the proposals as
a means to ensure fair competition for
travel rms based in the county.
For fair play, we proposed the
travel levy for tour vehicles from
other counties as our companies
also pay revenue to the national
government, he said. However, he
added, the county could suspend or
reduce the fees.

Disagreement between a
truck driver and farm owner
over payment of Sh5,000 re-
sulted in the destruction of a
multi-million shilling bridge in
Kerio Valley, paralysing trans-
port across the region.
The farmer had demanded
the money from the driver who
was ferrying an excavator as
compensation for his crops
before allowing him to pass
through his farm to bypass a
bridge which could not take the
weight of his cargo.
But the driver declined to
pay and instead headed for the
Embobut bridge.
The bridge, located near
Soko Mjinga Trading Centre,
can take loads of up to 12.5
tonnes but the truck and
its cargo weighed nearly 20
tonnes.
When he got halfway across
the bridge, all hell broke loose
as the bridge came tumbling
own with the truck and its ex-
cavator load, said Jacob Kibet,
a boda boda operator.

Villagers lock out chief
over suspect land deals

A
group of villagers in Kilifi
County yesterday locked their
chief out of his oce, demand-
ing his sacking over an alleged plot
to sell o their land.
This came only a day after they
blocked the Mombasa-Kili highway
and lit huge res using tyres, in a pro-
test against the administrator.
They threatened to evict him if the
government fails to take action.
Yesterday, the chief made a brief
appearance at the oce early in the
morning, only to nd the door locked
with two huge padlocks.
He left hurriedly without talking
to anyone.
When the Nation contacted him
by telephone for comment, the chief
denied the allegations levelled against
him.
I do not know anything of that
sort. These are false allegations, he
said before disconnecting the call.
But administrator
denies knowledge of
transactions, terms
allegations as false
Deputy County Commissioner Ce-
lina Maitha said she was in a meeting
and promised to call later to comment
on the matter.
Residents claimed that the chief
had disregarded orders and warn-
ings by Governor Amason Kingi
and MP Mustafa Idd two weeks ago
against taking strangers around to
show them land.
There are three parcels of land
which are to be sold o. We were
evicted from the rst one and now,
there is a plan to remove us from the
second plot, said Mr Juma Mohamed
Babu.
Targeted for sale
He said that the people had lived on
the land for more than 50 years, and
urged the government to pay o the
owner, whom they had never known,
and distribute it among them.
Another resident, Mr Nicholas
Nyamawi, claimed that surveyors
had gone at night to erect beacons
in areas targeted for sale.
We want the chief, his assistant
and the village elders removed and
new ones appointed, he said.
Also aggrieved was Mr Chai Katama
Idd, who accused the administrator
of being a lone ranger.
He never consults the people and
prefers to do everything unilaterally,
Mr Idd alleged.

Ward reps accused of sabotage
BY MOSES ODHIAMBO
@AliwaMoses
mogada@ke.nationmedia.com
K
isumu Governor Jack Ranguma
yesterday turned the heat on
members of the county as-
sembly accusing them of delaying
the implementation of projects.
He said many projects commis-
sioned by his oce have not started
because some MCAs claimed that
they are not consulted when tenders
are awarded.
His comments came after the
county assembly summoned ten
ministers over awed procurement
procedures which MCAs blamed
for the delay in projects.
Mr Ranguma said work in some
sub-counties has started due to the
cooperation of MCAs and the con-
tractors.
The governor said the county has
tried to speed up the work but interfer-
ence by ward reps hinders progress.
The stalled projects are not stuck
at my oce. It is some MCAs that
want to control their execution, he
said.

Mr Ranguma asked the assembly

role. He made the comments follow-
ing debate of a report tabled before
the county assembly by the Imple-
mentation Committee. The report
unanimously resolved that ministers
should appear in person to explain
the delay in projects.
The ward reps noted that a number
of projects started in the county had
stalled for months yet the assembly
had approved them.
Roads, construction of ECD class-
rooms, bursaries, water projects as
well as health projects are some of
the most aected.
Kisumu Leader of Majority Samuel
Ongow blamed cartels for working in
cahoot with enemies of the countys
progress.
They must know that the failure
of the executive means failure of the
MCAs as well, said Mr Ongow.

Okombo claimed that some MCAs
vouched for some contactors to
win tenders. She threatened to table

some ward reps.

Pupils miss
lessons due
to rains as
classes leak
BY OSCAR KAKAI
Rain is considered a blessing,
but to many pupils at Kachemogen
Primary School in Pokot South, the
sight of gathering clouds means the
end of the lesson.
Due to poor condition of class-
rooms, learning at the institution
is interrupted whet it rains as
the pupils have to seek shelter
elsewhere.
Mr Isaac Kapelinyan, the deputy
head teacher, said the school, with
500 pupils, is over-populated and
has many other challenges in-
cluding lack of classrooms and
inadequate teachers.
We are forced to call o class
before it rains because the class-
room gets lled with water and
the roof leaks, he said yesterday.
This can expose the pupils to many
hazards.
Governor Simon Kachapin, who
toured the school on Tuesday, asked
the national government to trans-
fer the role of building schools to
counties.
Its very bad to see our pupils
learning in such conditions. He
also urged the National Treasury
to allocate more funds for employ-
ing teachers.

MONROVIA, Wednesday
H
ealth workers
reported today being
overwhelmed by new
Ebola cases at the epicentre
of an outbreak described as an
existential threat to hardest-hit
Liberia.
The World Health Organization
(WHO), which raised the death
toll to nearly 2,300, has predicted
an exponential increase in
infection across west Africa, and
warned that Liberia in particular
will face thousands of new cases
in the coming weeks.
We are overwhelmed. The
patients keep coming in (huge)
numbers. Yesterday we received
up to 30 patients, Ms Sophie
Jane, a spokeswoman for Doctors
Without Borders (Medecins Sans
Frontieres, MSF), told AFP at
the aid agencys Ebola unit in
Monrovia.
The WHO upped the death toll
on Tuesday to 2,296 out of 4,293
cases in Liberia, Sierra Leone,
Guinea and Nigeria. Nearly half
of all infections had come in the
past 21 days, it said.
Liberia, with 1,200 dead, has
borne the brunt of the outbreak,
and has run perilously short of
space at the few Ebola treatment
sites operating.
The WHO said Montserrado
county, which contains Monrovia,
needed 1,000 beds. It reported
that infected people were being
driven to centres in the capital
only to be turned away, return
home and create are-ups of
deadly fever in their villages.
Bystanders watched warily on
Wednesday as a man turned away
by the MSF centre in Monrovia
struggled to stay on his feet.
I came but they say they
have no space. I have strong
headache and I have fever. I am
trying to get back home, the
man told AFP.
Residents interviewed by
AFP described an atmosphere
of fear paralysing daily life in
the Liberian capital.
I am afraid. I dont know what
to do now actually. Where are
we going? Are we all going to
die? If WHO can say this kind of
thing it means we are nished,
said Monrovia resident Kluboh
Johnson, 45.
Meanwhile, businesses
said trade was drying up as
people stayed indoors, afraid
of infection. A few people will
come and take one or two bottles
of beer, but custom is no longer
like before. They are afraid to
come out because of Ebola,
the owner of one bar told AFP.
I am afraid myself. One man
came here last night and started
to drink abundantly.
When I asked him what was
wrong, he asked me if I did not
hear that thousands of people
are going to get Ebola in the
coming weeks.
In another development,
a Guinean student who was
Senegals only conrmed case
in the deadly Ebola epidemic has
recovered, the health ministry
said today. Senegal became the
fifth country affected by the
West African outbreak when the
student crossed the border just
before it closed on August 21.
We conducted two sets of
tests. He no longer has the virus.
He is cured, said Pape Amadou
Diack, director of health at the
ministry.
It was a case imported into
Senegal. We took charge of him
and, thank God, we have this
result.
Under surveillance
Health Minister Awa Marie
Coll Seck said in a statement on
Monday that 67 people who had
possibly been in contact with the
student were under surveillance
in Dakar but were showing no
signs of infection.
In Italy, a Nigerian woman
suspected of being Italys rst
Ebola case is in fact sick with
malaria, regional health services
said today.
The 42-year-old resident
of Italy had recently returned
from a trip to Nigeria, where
eight people have died in the
current outbreak, and was
hospitalised Tuesday with
Ebola-like symptoms.
Tests for Ebola conducted
on the patient, who was
isolated in a hospital ward in
the central town of Ancona,
were negative, regional health
official Almerino Mezzolani
was quoted as saying. Italy is
among several countries which
have suspended direct ights to
west African nations stricken by
the Ebola outbreak.
The tropical virus can fell its
victims within days, causing
severe fever and muscle pain,
weakness, vomiting and
diarrhoea, in some cases shutting
down organs.(AFP)

Sierra Leone expects to uncover hundreds of hidden cases
FREETOWN, Wednesday
Sierra Leone said today it
expected to uncover up to 20
percent more Ebola victims
when it imposes a nationwide
curfew to find the dead and
suerers who have yet to go to
hospital.
The government has
announced the shutdown, with
the population of six million
conned to their homes except
for essential business, for 72
hours starting from September
19. More than 20,000 volunteers
will go door-to-door to remove
bodies and take patients who
have not yet gone to hospital
into the care of medics.
The governments Ebola
emergency operation centre
said 10 areas of the capital
Freetown had been designated
as hot spots charged with
dealing with the surge in cases
expected. Isolation centres
including schools equipped
with beds will be set up as we
envisage a ve per cent to 20 per
cent surge during the exercise,
which is aimed at breaking the
chain of transmission, Steven
Ngaoja, head of the centre, told a
news conference in Freetown.
The Ebola outbreak has killed
almost 2,300 people in four west
African nations.
Sierra Leone has reported
some 500 deaths from almost
1,400 cases since it registered
its rst infection in May.
The government has set
aside $1.3 million to cover the
costs of the shutdown, most
of which has been donated by
the United Nations Childrens
Fund. (AFP)

DAKAR, Wednesday
T
he court trying Karim Wade in
Dakar for ill-gotten wealth, has
nally announced the rejection
of the accuseds request for bail or
temporary release.
Announcing the decision yesterday
evening, the court insisted that the
move was mainly due to Mr Wades
refusal to respond to questions by
judges.
The session which lasted less than
10 minutes was postponed to Wednes-
day, September 10, 2014.
Mr Wade reiterated that he was
being held illegally and again vowed
to continue remaining mute before the
judges during the next session.
During the accuseds trial last
Friday, he vowed not to respond
to the judges questions until his
co-accused, Ibrahima Khalil Bourgi
was allowed to pursue medical treat-
ment in France.
Mr Bourgi who is a Senegalese
of Lebanese origin, is known as Mr
Wades main contact person and busi-
ness partner, who organised all of the
former president sons transactions
abroad.
On two occasions, Mr Bourgi has
been present in court in his hospital
wheelchair on drips. The court had
long insisted that a travel ban will
remain in place against Mr Bourgi,
alleging that the Lebanese national
was pretending to be ill.
Mr Bourgis doctors have tried to
convince the court that he was indeed
ill but state doctors have maintained
the contrary.
Justice Ministry ocials fear that
a permission to allow Mr Bourgi to
travel to France could seriously delay
the trial which is expected to last six
months.
Mr Karim and about 10 co-accused
have been held in remand for slightly
DEMAND |He vows not to respond to judges questions until his co-accused was allowed to get medical treatment in France
over a year now. They are standing
trial for allegedly swindling millions of
dollars when they served in dierent
capacities during the 12 year-rule of
ex-President Abdoulaye Wade.
Earlier in the trial, Mr Wades
defence lawyers ignored the com-
petence of the court set up to try
their client.
The 30 defence lawyers argue that
their client can only be judged by the
Supreme Court and not by the Court
for the Repression of Illegal Enrich-
ment (CREI).
The lawyers defended their argu-
ment by stating that the Supreme
Court was in existence when the case
against their client was introduced
before the countrys legal jurisdiction.
They argue that it was after the intro-
duction of the case that the CREI was
re-activited and hence casted doubt
on the competence and impartiality
of the court.
In a counter argument, the state
lawyers have insisted that the bat-
tery of defence lawyers was mostly
comprised of former government
ministers who have left oce lesser
than three years. The state lawyers
pointed that that fact was in contra-
diction of the legal framework of the
countrys law.
Judges stated the move
was mainly due to the
accuseds refusal to
respond to questions
China-funded Sudan palace to replace historic building
KHARTOUM, Wednesday
Sudan today announced the
completion of a China-funded
presidential palace to replace the
colonial-era oces where British
General Charles Gordon died in
a battle that dened Sudanese
history.
The new three-storey domed
palace has been built with a grant
from Beijing, the ocial SUNA
news agency reported without
specifying the amount.
SUNA said the project conrms
the strong relations between
Khartoum and Beijing, whose
ambassador Luo Xiaoguang at-
tended a signing ceremony with
Sudanese officials to confirm
completion of the project.
The heavy-looking, grey-brown
stone of the new palace contrasts
with the whitewashed old palace
that recalls Britains colonial past.
Both buildings are near each other
along the Blue Nile River.
President Omar al-Bashir has
his oces at the palace, which
was originally built in the early
19th century during Turco-Egyp-
tian rule.
A plaque inside the old palace
marks the spot where General
Gordon was killed in 1885 by the
forces of a messianic Islamic re-
former called the Mahdi.
From 1877-79, Gordon was
governor of Sudan under the
Turco-Egyptian administration.
After the British occupied
Egypt in 1882 and the Sudanese
Mahdist revolt intensied, Brit-
ain again dispatched Gordon to
Khartoum.
Despite his eorts to defend it,
the garrison was destroyed and
the Mahdis conquest ushered in
a period of Islamist rule.
SUNA said construction of the
new palace began in 2010. It will
be inaugurated on January 1, the
countrys independence day.
Mr Emad Sayed Ahmed, the
presidential press secretary, told
AFP that the government has
outgrown the existing palace.
However, ocial ceremonies
will still be held in the historic
building even after the adminis-
tration moves to the new palace,
Ahmed said. He had no details
about the cost but said the new
palace reects Sudan and Suda-
nese culture.

woman could not be reached for

C
rimeas Kremlin-loyal leader
today said that if the world
recognises an independent
Scotland, then it should also oer
similar recognition to the Black
Sea peninsula which has joined
Russia.
Acting regional head Sergei Ak-
syonov said that the West would
have no other option but to back
Crimeas move to break away from
Ukraine, if it also accepts a Scot-
tish vote to split from the United
Kingdom.
The Scottish referendum on
whether to break from its 300-
year-old union is being held on
September 18, with polls showing
both sides in a dead heat.
Crimea split from Ukraine and
joined Russia after a disputed
referendum in March.
If in any country the majority
of the population (of a region) take
a decision about their independ-
ent statehood then I personally
support this, Mr Aksyonov was
quoted as saying by Russias In-
terfax news agency. The people
living in a particular place better
understand the processes that are
happening there and it is their right
to take such a decision, he said.
Meanwhile, President Vladimir
Putin today accused Western coun-
tries of creating the Ukrainian
crisis and using it to revive Nato.
The crisis in Ukraine, which was
basically provoked and created by
some of our Western partners, is

B
orrowing by local banks
accounted for 58 per cent of
investments made in Kenya by
the global nancier as of June.
The International Finance
Corporation, the World Bank Groups
private lending arm, invested Sh18.2
billion ($210 million) in the country
during the period under review,
accounting for 40 per cent of the
total outlays it made in the East
Africa region, according to nancial
results released yesterday.
The heavy spending on banks,
according to IFC head for the East
Africa region Manuel Moses, has been
triggered by new terms of capital
adequacy set by the Central Bank of
Kenya (CBK).
Reach our clients
Noting the changing regulations
that had pushed banks to seek
opportunities such as bonds and
subordinated loans, he said: We
will support them as banks are a
conduit through which we reach our
clients.
The Kenya Commercial Bank,
Diamond Trust Bank, Gulf African
Bank, Bank of Africa and Chese Bank
are among the 18 nancial institutions
that have benetted from IFC lending
during the period under review.
More banks are likely to turn to
the international lender for credit if
CBK honours its proposal to increase
the minimum capital requirement yet
again in a bid to raise the industry to
the level of Egypt, Angola, Nigeria
and South Africa.
Last year, IFC pumped $456
million (Sh39.6 billion) into Kenya,
accounting for 80 per cent of the
institutions investment in the East
Africa region. It was evaluating local
proposals for funding totalling some
$300 million (Sh26.1 billion) as at
Wednesday.
Unlike the subsidised loans from the
World Bank through its International
Development Association (IDA), IFC
advances are priced at market rates.
The institution invests both in loans
and in equity.
During the period, IFC also
extended to Bidco $36.5 million
(Sh3.1 billion) and National Cement
$70 million (Sh6 billion) in a mixture
of loan and equity. It bought a stake
in Bridge Academies and Garden City
at $42 million (Sh3.6 billion).
IFCs continued activity in sub-
Saharan Africa reects our support
to the private sector clients as they
drive local economies forward.
IFC strives to deliver investments,
knowledge and solutions based on
global best practices, which in turn
improve business and living standards
in Africa, IFC director for Eastern
and Southern Africa Oumar Seydi
said.
The institutions global spending
during the year under review was $22
billion (Sh1.9 trillion), of which $4.6
billion (Sh400.2 billion) relates to
investments in sub-Saharan Africa.

Reason: IFC says the new re-
quirements by the Central Bank
to shored up capital contributed
to the performance.

tal requirements.

Dubai-based frm sues over duty-free shops award
BY NATION REPORTER
A Dubai-based company has gone to court chal-
lenging the awarding of duty-free shops at the new
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport terminals.
Suzan General Trading Limited is seeking an
order to quash the decision by the Kenya Airports
Authority to deny it a licence for development and
operation of the outlets under a single master per-
mit at Terminal 4.
According to the company, KAA violated tender-
ing rules and regulations as provided by the Public
Procurement Administration Board (PPAB) to lock
it out of the tendering process.
Suzans lawyer Daniel Gacugia accuses KAA of
wilful and blatant disregard of the PPABs directives
to advertise for tenders and award of contracts for
duty-free shops. He claims the company was denied
its rights to equal treatment as a result.
KAA did the opposite
He said that after challenging the manner in
which the bidding was initially done, the board in
December 2013 issued new guidelines ordering
KAA to retender for the development and opera-
tion of the terminal.
KAA did the opposite of what they were directed
to do in the re-tendering. They failed to enlarge
the specications to make the tender eligibility
more inclusive and did not subject the process to
competitive bidding as directed by the board.
Mr Gacugia added that the authority lacked juris-
diction to revise the tender and award the contract
without clear procedures for evaluation.
The company wants an order quashing the
tendering process and award of duty-free shops
and a directive to KAA to retender for the shops
in compliance with directions issued by the Public
Procurement Administration Board.
Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi certied the applica-
tion urgent and directed him to serve KAA for an
inter-parties hearing on September 17.

Safari Link starts direct ights to Lodwar
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Travel to Northern Kenya
has been eased after an air-
line introduced direct ights
to Lodwar.
Safari Links move will see
it expand its domestic market
as it further opens up Turkana
for tourism and business.
The move is expected to
spark erce competition and
take way a chunk of business
from Fly540, which has been
the sole operator to the Lod-
war Airstrip.
Safari Links entry is also
expected to contribute to-
wards economic growth in
Northern Kenya by opening
up the region for tourism
and investment in develop-
ment and other sectors.
Speaking at the launch yes-
terday, the airlines managing
director, Mr John Buckley, said
the launch of the ights will
provide an opportunity for the
airline to support development
beyond tourism.
He also acknowledged the
growing economy of Turkana
County and the attention it
was receiving since the dis-
covery of oil as one of the
reasons the airline decided
to start ying there.
We genuinely believe that
over the coming years, this
area in Kenya will see a dra-
matic growth and we want to
assist and participate in that
growth by providing a reliable
air connection to Nairobi, he
said.

S
tipulations for undertak-
ing a Sh130 billion gas
venture are due to be
relaxed.
This follows bidders verdict
that the terms the government
set for putting up the plant
were impractical.
The Public Privatisation Unit
at the National Treasury said
yesterday that the tendering
process for the 700MW Lique-
ed Natural Gas plant at Dongo
Kundu near Mombasa will be
altered after applicants failed
to meet the set criteria.
The project is central to the
governments plan to generate
5,000MW of power by 2016.
PPP has now proposed a
30-month, a year longer than
the initial 18 months. This is
because timelines appear to be
a fresh headache in public pro-
curement for capital-intensive
infrastructure projects that also
require lengthy implementation
periods.
The process is to be re-
peated. We thought it would
be unfair to other bidders to
evaluate the only two, which
submitted bids. The more the
rms, the higher the level of
competition, PPP unit head
Stanley Kamau said. The unit
has the nal say on procure-
ment of all public projects
undertaken by private inves-
tors.
The move follows pressure
from potential bidders who
described as too tight the ex-
ecution schedule of the project
one of the largest under the
5000MW initiative.
It also followed requests
from the Ministry of Energy
and Petroleum, which is con-
tracting the project on behalf
of the government.
Energy Cabinet Secretary
Davis Chirchir last week said
potential bidders wrote to the
tender committee over the
unattractive terms.
Only two bids
We received only two bids
both of which stated construc-
tion would last 24 months.
Other potential bidders wrote
letters saying they would bid
if the implementation proc-
ess would be extended to 24
months. If we proceeded, all
bids would have been non-re-
sponsive, he said.
The minister has now recom-
mended a repeat of the process
without opening the submit-
ted nancial bids because of
issues entailed in technical
proposals. Most of the 10
rms short-listed from the 36
that had expressed interest did
not submit their bids.

Court freezes
Kiereini deals
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A city tycoon has been barred from
dealing in any manner with all his
companies shares as listed in the
NSE and the Central Depository
Settlement Corporation, a court
ruled yesterday.
In addition to the prohibition,
all other accounts of Mr Jeremiah
Kiereini relating to ownership of
stakes were also frozen temporarily
pending the hearing of a case led
against him by the Capital Markets
Authority.
Justice Eric Ogola reissued the
interim orders stating he was not
persuaded that the parties in court
were unique in any way.
He said that the situation was
not peculiar and that he shared the
same views as his colleague Fran-
cis Gikonyo who deemed it t to
grant the orders against the Nairobi
businessman.
The suit relates to alleged fraudu-
lent acquisition of money when Mr
Kiereini was a director with motor
dealer CMC Holdings Limited.
Proceedings resume October

T
he regional governments have
started the search for a con-
tractor to design and construct
a petroleum products pipeline from
Eldoret to Kigali.
The project is part of a number
of infrastructure initiatives that are
being undertaken by governments of
Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda under the
Northern Corridor Integration plan
that seeks to open up the region for
economic development.
The Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali
pipeline will serve, among others,
the markets of Uganda, Rwanda and
the neighbouring states of Tanzania,
Burundi, South Sudan and the Demo-
cratic Republic of Congo, the tender
notice reads.
The rened products pipeline will
be an extension of the existing line in
Eldoret, which is owned by the Kenya
Pipeline Company.
Its completion is expected to ease
road congestion by petroleum tankers
and reduce accidents resulting from
heavy reliance on the vehicles.
It is also hoped to deal with fuel
dumping , which mainly occurs when
tankers ferrying products for export
are diverted locally, threatening the
local business.
The project will be implemented in
two stages that will see construction
of a 350-kilometre 12-inch multi-prod-
ucts pipeline between Eldoret and
Kampala and a 434-kilometre line
with similar specications between
Kampala and Kigali.
It will also involve building of stor-
age terminals, pump stations, road
and rail loading facilities for tankers
at Kampala, Mbarara and Kigali.
Process was aborted
In December 2012, the governments
of Kenya and Uganda advertised a
tender for the same project, but
according to Mr Daniel Kiptoo, pe-
troleum legal advisor to Energy and
Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Davis
Chirchir, the process was aborted to
take into account the Northern Cor-
ridor Integration project.
Prior to the two bids, Tamoil East
Africa company associated with the
late Libyan leader Muammar Gadd-
a, had been contracted to set up the
products pipeline between Eldoret and
Kampala. The deal was terminated
due to what ocials termed failure
by the rm to full the terms of the
contract.
Tamoil had been retained to set
up the 350-kilometre line and oper-
ate it for a period of 20 years before
transferring ownership to the two
governments.

J
apanese tennis sensation Kei
Nishikori may have lost the US
Open final, but he has won a
$940,000 (Sh83.2 million) special
bonus from a sponsor delighted
about seeing its brand splashed across
screens worldwide.
Fast Retailing and its charismatic
President Tadashi Yanai will each give
50 million yen to the 24-year-old tour-
nament runner-up, who lost in straight
sets to Croatian giant Marin Cilic.
The casual-clothing firm, which
operates the Uniqlo brand, saw a run
on shirts worn by Japans best male
tennis star during the tournament at
Flushing Meadows, which feature the
cheap-chic brands logo.
The rm wanted to congratulate the
athlete and celebrate his achievement,
and to reward him for boosting both
Uniqlos brand image and the morale
of its workers, a company spokesman
said.
We wanted to celebrate his historic
achievement, he said. The bonus was
also meant to show our continued
support as he aims to be the worlds
number one, he said.
Runners-up prize
The bonus comes on top of a runner-
ups purse of $1.45 million (Sh128.4m).
Fast Retailing has been working to
make itself a top global brand to rival
Zara and H&M, and has opened ag-
ship stores at prestigious addresses
in London, New York and Shanghai,
as well as at home in Tokyo.
Nishikori became the rst Japanese
and the rst Asian man to play in a
Gland Slam singles nal, after defeat-
ing world number-one Novak Djokovic,
who is also sponsored by Uniqlo.
Nishikoris performance in New
York led the news in Japan for days
and dominated all sorts of television
programmes and newspapers, with
the seminal between Nishikori and
Djokovic touted as a showdown be-
tween two Uniqlo players. Even after
the youngster came undone in the
nal, crushed by Cilic 6-3, 6-3, 6-3,
his cheerful but humble demeanour
further endeared him to Japanese fans.
The nal between the two younger
stars was also seen as a possible signal
of the end of dominance by the Big
4 Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael
Nadal, and Andy Murray.
And veteran Japanese tennis star
Kimiko Date-Krumm said she had
sent Nishikori a text message telling

yesterday expressed his disappointment
at the move by the Boxing Association
of Kenya to change his choice of coach
for AIBA pro-boxing ghts.
He said: I wanted Patrick Maina

Boxing Club to be at my corner when
I take part in the inaugural AIBA pro
boxing.
He added: I gave the two names when
I signed my contract and for BAK to drop
any of them was very unfair.
Commenting on the issue, the BAK
chairman, John Kameta said: Boxers
were not supposed to choose their
coaches. That was the prerogative of
the executive.
Okwiri (above) will be accompanied
by bantamweight Benson Gicharu

of coaches was not interfered with. He
had chosen David Munuhe and John

Organisers of this years edition of
Standard Chartered Nairobi Mara-
thon have introduced changes that
will improve the status of the race be-
sides curbing cheating incidents.
This years race due October 26 in
Nairobi targets to raise over Sh25m
for charity up from 23.09m realised
last year. Last years race attracted
22,000 participants but an estimated
25,000 are expected this year.
Even though the nishing points
for the 42km (Full marathon) and
21km (half marathon) races will
remain inside Nyayo National
Stadium, the finishing points of
the two races have been separated
to avoid the confusion that almost
saw an intruder declared womens
42km winner.
Micro chips to be introduced
Running micro chips will also be
introduced in the 10km of the event
to avoid incidents of cheating seen in
men and womens races last year.
Kenya Air Force ocer Winfridah
Kwambokas moment of glory was
almost cut short when an intruder,
Selina Ariongonyang, almost cheated
her way to victory.
Ariongonyany, who had allegedly
entered the race midway, cashed in
on the chaotic environment at the
nishing area to take the womens
full marathon tag only for the real
winner to enter the grounds min-
utes later.
While brieng the media on this
years preparations, SCB CEO
Lamin Manjang said the changes
are part of the initiatives they have
put in place for the next two years
so as to improve the status of the
race.
Better race
The 10km race especially has
become popular attracting more
the 45 per cent of the participants.
We want to enhance professionalism
in the management of the race, said
Manjang
In the next two years with the
government, Athletics Kenya and
other sponsors, we want to push up
the status of the marathon because
we believe that this event has what
it takes to rival major marathons
like London, Berlin, Boston and
Chicago.
Registration will start on Mon-
day at Standard Chartered Bank
branches across the country, selected
supermarkets and health clubs.

A

title contender, Mohammed
Essa from Zambia is doubtful
for the 2014 KCB Safari Rally that
begins tomorrow.
As of yesterday, Quentin Mitchell
was also in a race against time to
clear his car from Mombasa in time
for the event.
Eorts to reach Essa proved fruit-
less, although the General Manager
of Kenya Motor Sports Federation,
Mwaura Njoroge conrmed that the
Zambian had failed to report to the
secretariat in time for his recce pro-
gramme, which was done yesterday.
It is widely believed lack of proper
sponsorship has locked out Essa
from this years event. We have no
reasons for Essas failure to report
for the event considering the high
stakes for him in the ARC title race.
Unconrmed reports also point to lack
of sponsorship for him in the Safari
Rally, said Mwaura.

2014 KCB SAFARI RALLY | Cote dIvoires Chanyes well placed to clinch continental title for the first time with only the
Madagascar Rally remaining if he
nishes second in the ARC Class of
the Safari Rally.
Chanyes leads the series with 101
points while Essa is second with
93.
A maximum 50 points are at stake
in the last two rounds of the ARC
championship.
Mitchells chances of debuting the
latest Skoda ST2000 rally on Kenyan
soil look remote as eorts to clear
the car from Mombasa are being
hampered by bureaucracy.
I have spent long hours at all the
relevant Government oces trying to
get clearance. I have managed to get
the code reference from KRA but Im
still waiting for the car to be released
from the port, he said
I have been given permission by
the rally organizers to present the car
for scrutineering latest this evening
otherwise, I am doomed, said Mitch-
ell yesterday.
If Mitchell succeeds in his bid to
enter the car in the KCB Safari Rally,
it will be the rst of its kind in Af-
rica, just like the two Protons of Carl
Tundo and Alastair Cavenagh, which
made their rally debut in the KCB
Kiambu Rally early this year.
Introduction of such sophisticated
rally cars is likely to heighten Kenyas
prole with regards to quality of cars
competing in the Kenya National Rally
Championship.
Maximum points up for grabs in the
remaining two rounds of the African
Rally Championship

(1/51) were the other wicket takers.
In reply, Kenya was bundled out for
204 with 28 balls in hand. Kenya failed
to establish any meaningful partner-
ships and lacked someone to carry the
team through. Not a single batsman
scored half a century. Alex Obanda
(36) top-scored for Kenya. Morris

tion of a month-long selection
process that will see the players,
aged 14 and under, compete in
teams of ve players each.
The tournament will feature
both boys and girls and will be held

turned up for selection at various
KFC outlets in Nairobi, namely
KFC Junction, KFC Kimathi, KFC
Galleria and KFC Woodvale.
Selection process
During the selection process,
the players were taken through
sessions which featured football
techniques like ball control,
playing formations, passing the
ball, taking penalty kicks and
ball juggling during which they
scored points. Players with the
highest points qualied for the
tournament.

Egypt in Aswan in another friendly
clash, Kenya has now been invited to,

Reports suggest the Atlas Lions are
keen to play against Kenya alongside a
number of west and southern African
nations in readiness for the 2015 Af-
rica Cup of Nations, a tournament the
country will be hosting. The Morocco
FA will thus meet all the expenses of

qualiers by Lesotho last month.

the bulk of the expenditure for the
clubs that represent the country in
international assignments.
In 2013 when we played ENPPI,
the Egyptian government took care
of all the expenses. In fact, the hotel
we stayed in while in Egypt was paid
for by their government, including
our transport, he charged. In
Kenya, no one cares. The clubs are
left on their own. More painful is
the fact that at times we tag along
a member of the federation yet they
do not extend a helping hand.
Gor spent Sh15 million
According to Kiilo, KOgalo, spent
a whooping Sh15 million early this
year to prepare and honour
their four African Championship
ties against Gabonese opposition
US Bitam and Tunisian giants Es-
perance.
According to the CAF rules, the
host club bears the cost of accom-
modating the visiting team at least
in a three-star hotel as well as the
cost of local transport.
Other requirements include pur-
chasing return air tickets for match
ocials and hosting them. Govern-
ments are however not obliged to
extend any nancial help to clubs.
London
Despite their on-pitch travails
last season, Manchester United
yesterday announced a 19 per
cent rise in annual revenue to a
record 433.2 million ($698.8
million, 539.6 million euros).
United oundered in their
rst season after the retirement
of long-serving manager Alex
Ferguson, nishing seventh in
the Premier League and sacking
his successor, David Moyes, but
they continued to thrive com-
mercially.
Helped by a blockbuster
750 million 10-year deal with
Adidas, the club reported a 49
percent increase in sponsorship
revenue.
Overall prot fell sharply,
from 146.4 million to 23.9
million, but mainly because
United had received a one-o
tax credit from American assets
worth 155 million in the previ-
ous year.
We are very proud of the
results achieved in scal year
2014 as we once again gener-
ated record revenues, said
executive vice-chairman Ed
Woodward in a statement.
With Louis van Gaal at
the helm as manager, and the
recent signing of some of the
worlds leading players to fur-
ther strengthen our squad, we
are very excited about the future
and believe its the start of a
new chapter in the clubs his-
tory.
Louiss footballing phi-
losophy ts very well with
Manchester United and he has
an impressive track record of
success throughout his career,
winning league titles with every
club he has managed.
Income will fall
Partly due to their non-par-
ticipation in the Champions
League, United expect their
income to fall to between 385
million and 395 million over
the course of the current sea-
son. They invested around 150
million on new players during
the close-season transfer win-
dow, including a British-record
59.7 million swoop for Argen-
tina international winger Angel
di Maria.
The gures released yesterday
also revealed that United paid
out 5.2 million in compensa-
tion to former Everton manager
Moyes, who was dismissed in
April, and some members of his
coaching sta.
United are without a win after
three Premier League games
this season and were knocked
out of the League Cup following
a 4-0 loss to third-tier Milton
Keynes Dons. (AFP)

A
new Cameroon team continued
a great start to 2015 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifying by thrash-
ing star-stacked Cote dIvoire 4-1 in
Yaounde yesterday.
Clinton NJie and Vincent Abou-
bakar scored twice each for the
Indomitable Lions with reigning
African Footballer of the Year Yaya
Toure on target for the Elephants.
Cameroon opened their Group D
campaign with a 2-0 victory in the
Democratic Republic of Congo last
Saturday and have a three-point lead
after two matchdays.
The Congolese bounced back
to overcome Sierra Leone 2-0 in
Lubumbashi in another early kick-
o and share second place with the
Ivorians on three points.
Sierra Leone, forced to play a home
xture in DR Congo because of the
Ebola crisis in west Africa, are point-
less having lost in Ivory Coast four
days ago.
Germany-born Cameroon coach
Volker Finke recently axed 13 of the
World Cup squad that fared disas-
trously in Brazil three months ago,
including talisman Samuel Etoo.
Etoo retired
Record four-time African Footballer
of the Year Etoo retired from interna-
tional football a week later, and young
stars like NJie and Aboubakar have
taken up the mantle.
They have scored three goals each
in two qualiers and both came close
to hat-tricks against an Ivorian side
lucky to escape with only a three-goal
defeat at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo.
Cameroon had a goal disallowed,
struck the woodwork and came
close several other times in a display
reminiscent of the great Lions teams

Andorra la Vella, Andora
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey
(left) could miss his sides showdown
with Manchester City on Saturday after
Wales manager Chris Coleman revealed
that he had twisted his ankle on inter-
national duty.
The 23-year-old sustained the injury
during the latter stages of Waless 2-1
win away to Andorra in their opening
Euro 2016 qualier on Tuesday, putting
his participation in Arsenals home game
with City in doubt.
He got a kick and there was a twist
in his ankle, Coleman told journalists
after the game.
Hopefully hell be OK for Arsenal at
the weekend, but well have to see what
the next 24 to 48 hours hold.
Wales required two goals from Gareth
Bale, including a late free-kick, to see
o an Andorra side who had lost their
previous 44 competitive games.
Articial pitch
The Real Madrid forward was critical of
the articial 3G pitch, which had been
the subject of scrutiny in the build-up
to the game.
This is by far the worst pitch Ive
ever played on, Bale said.
But its the same for both teams and
we said in the changing room before
the game, no matter how we get the
three points, we get them, and thats
what we did.
Coleman added: In my opinion, the
pitch is not up to the standard of a Uefa
qualier. But I dont want to make a
protest because I want other teams to
come here. I didnt want to say anything
about the pitch before the game, but I
can now and if youre a passing team,
forget it. (AFP)
Arsenals Ramsey risks missing Man City clash
that won the African title four times. A
deection o a defender helped NJie put
Cameroon ahead on 15 minutes only for
Toure to level 10 minutes later when he
slid in to convert a cross.
Aboubakar intercepted a headed back-
pass for fire past veteran goalkeeper
Boubacar Barry and give the home team
a 2-1 half-time lead.
A loose ball was hammered home by
Aboubakar on 54 minutes and he set up
NJie to score with an unstoppable close-
range shot 14 minutes from time.
Atusaye Nyondo bagged a brace as
Malawi edged Ethiopia 3-2 in a Blantyre
battle of Group B teams who lost their
opening matches to Mali and Algeria
respectively.
Meanwhile, African champions Nigeria
on Tuesday avoided a ban from interna-
tional football after FIFA said the countrys
football association had complied with a
directive about its leadership.
The world governing body said it
welcomed the fact that ousted president
Aminu Maigari and his executive commit-
tee had been able to return to work and as
a result lifted the threat of sanctions.
FIFA had given Chris Giwa, who
replaced Maigari and his executive com-
mittee in controversial circumstances on
August 26, until 0700 GMT on Monday to
step down from his post or Nigeria would
face suspension from all matches.
The deadline came and went with Giwa
and his ocials nowhere to be seen at
the headquarters of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) in the capital, Abuja.
Maigari returned to work on Tuesday
and showed reporters a letter dated Sep-
tember 8 from FIFA secretary-general
Jerome Valcke, which said it was aware
that he been able to resume his duties
without hindrance.
We also note that the persons claiming
to have been elected vacated the premises
of the NFF, the letter read.
Against this background, we would
like to conrm that the conditions set in
FIFAs aforementioned correspondence
of September 3 2014 have been complied
with and that the NFF is accordingly not
suspended.
The NFF has been in turmoil since the
end of the World Cup nals in July.
FIFA had briey suspended the country
from international competition because of
government interference in the running
of its aairs.
Maigari was ousted as head of the body,
impeached on corruption charges then
reinstated and was arrested by Nigerias
secret police, allegedly to stop him attend-
ing the August 26 meeting when Giwa
assumed control. (AFP)

T
he rivalry between two major
unions deepened yesterday
after Knut refused to meet
Kuppet for talks on averting a strike
by teachers.
The unions are expected to meet
Teachers Service Commission (TSC)
ocials today.
Knut last evening issued conditions
for attending the meeting, with its
secretary-general Wilson Sossion
insisting they would only attend if
discussions were conned to a fol-
low-up of a previous one and focus
on an agreed agenda.
The union also demands that the
meeting as convened be attended
only by duly appointed and recog-
nised members, said Mr Sossion
in a letter to TSC Secretary Gabriel
Lengoiboni.
Kuppet had requested the meet-
ing with Knut to strategise on how
to meet the teachers employer and
table their demands.
We wanted to meet Knut before
facing the TSC so that we speak
with one voice, but Knut declined
to meet. We needed to develop a
consensus on the way to move these
talks. We are aware Knut is pushing
for implementation of Legal Notice
534 of 1997, township allowances
and car loans while we are pushing
for leave and postgraduate allow-
ances and a comprehensive medical
scheme, among others, said Kuppet
chairman Omboko Milemba at a press
conference.
Knut has 37 demands while Kuppet
will present 11.
Knut is also asking the TSC to
quash a pay deal it signed with Kup-
pet last year and craft a new one.
The agreement by Kuppet and the
TSC after last years strike resulted in
teachers getting some allowances.
We pushed for teachers to have
commuter allowances, responsibility
allowances for primary school heads
and their deputies, we pushed for spe-
cial allowances, which gave teachers a
at rate of Sh10,000, we pushed for
recruitment of 10,000 teachers. How
selsh can they be to want all this
revoked? asked Mr Omboko.
Knut had also earlier demanded
that only appointed and recognised
members of the consultative meeting
would attend todays talks with TSC,
putting Kuppet at a bargaining disad-
vantage since the representation ratio
is 4.1 based on union membership.
Knuts priorities are totally upside
down. They are concentrating on how
many of our ocials will be in the
meeting instead of discussing how we
are all going to represent the teachers.
Clearly, they do not have the plight
of teachers at heart, theirs is only
supremacy wars and chest thump-
ing against us, said Kuppet deputy
secretary-general Moses Nthurima.

Kuppet chairman Omboko Milemba (right) and Deputy secretary-general Moses

Knut: Nullication of a pay deal
the teachers employer signed
with Kuppet that ended last
years strike. Union wants a new
one formulated.
Kuppet: Leave and post-gradu-
ate allowances for members.
Knut: Wants implementation of
Legal Notice 534 of 1997, town-
ship allowances and car loans.
Kuppet: Union will push TSC
for a comprehensive medical
scheme for teachers.

Some 5,500 land owners in Tassia, Nairobi
will have to fork out an extra Sh5 billion
to lay infrastructure in the estate after the
High Court dismissed a case they had led
challenging the charge. The ruling gives
the National Social Security Fund (NSSF)
the green light to collect the money and
complete the infrastructure before handing
over the titles to the plot owners. The plot
owners will now each part with Sh920,000
each for the development of roads, sewer
lines and street lighting. The court also
allowed the NSSF to vary the original
selling price for those who failed to pay
for their plots within six months. Owners
of plots measuring 33ft by 66 ft will pay
Sh550,000, up from Sh315,000, while plots
measuring 50ft by 100 ft will attract Sh1.2
million, up from Sh800,000. The Tassia Plot
Owners Association had moved to court
arguing that the original sale contracts had
no provision for the additional costs.
Nairobi County Governor Evans Kidero
has told o Chinese developer Erdemann
Properties over a Sh200 million payment
it is claiming for the restoration of a
collapsed Nairobi Dam wall. Erdemann
has moved to court saying that after
heavy rains in 2011, one of the dams walls
collapsed and a lot of soil was deposited
in its Seefar Apartments, then under
construction. It claims that during a
stakeholder meeting, the then City Council
of Nairobi said it had no money for repairs
and tasked the developer with the job,
promising to reimburse the amount later.
But Dr Kidero has dismissed the claim,
saying no such deal was reached. He said
that during excavations for the basement,
Erdemann had weakened the wall, causing
it to collapse. He said that the repair was
in line with an indemnity form that the
developers had signed before they got
approvals for the development.

T
he need for privacy and
exclusivity is driving
young professionals to
seek residence in estates
outside major urban areas, also
known as satellite towns.
The demographic that was
initially attracted to things like
quick access to entertainment
joints now prefers out-of-town
residences that hide them from
the hustle and bustle of city
life, places where they can have
an afternoon nyama choma gig
without attracting the attention
of the local residents association
chairman.
This, coupled with the improved
road network that has created
easier accesses to workplaces,
means satellite settlements are
now quite an attractive proposition
for the modern buyer or builder
who wants a piece of city life and a
slice of rural life on one plate.
In Nairobi, for instance, areas
that were previously dominated by
bushes and shrubs are now being
cleared for construction of houses,
shopping malls and all that comes
with gated communities.
That is why Syokimau, Katani,
Lukenya and even Athi River
have been transformed, almost
overnight, into property hotspots
where the citys growing middle
class is emigrating.
The Syokimau-Katani-Lukenya
area is special in a way: rst, it
is serviced well by the Eastern
and Northern bypasses; second,
it is going to reap big from the
expansion of Airport North Road
and the airport itself; third, it
boasts a not-so-bad infrastructural
network; and, fourth, it sits next
to the Nairobi-Mombasa highway,
one of the countrys main transport
arteries.
Similarly, such areas as
Rongai, Kitengela and Ruai have
now become the citys new and
expanding dormitories as people
relocate here in search of cheaper
rents, cheaper land, or bigger
houses that go for what a bed-
sitter costs near the city centre.
Brian Mureithi, a public relations
consultant, says he chose to stay
in Limuru, a small town about 35
kilometres west of Nairobi, even
though he works in the city centre
because of one thing: Limuru
provides him with better yet more
aordable accommodation.
Nairobi is just too much of a
hustle, says Mureithi. Unless
you can aord to live in the leafy
suburbs, it does not make any
sense to be cramped inside a
small servants quarter near the
city when you can have a two- or
thre-bedroom house for the same
amount.
The security here is also
much better than closer to the
city, and because I have a huge
compound, I am keeping poultry
as a side hustle, which I cant do
in the city.
It is not, however, just about the
space and the chicken. As these
satellite towns grow, they are
attracting major infrastructural
investments, which are in turn
attracting commercial developers
seeking cheaper land.
Cheaper land means cheaper
housing, which is why today it
is much more aordable to buy a
house with the same, if not better,
amenities in, say, Athi River than
in Langata.
Jacky Kendi, and auditor who
works in Westlands, Nairobi,
chose to move to Ruaka instead
on staying near her workplace.
Of course she has to struggle
with the daily commute to work,
but she thinks the price is worth
the stay.
It might be farther away from
As lifestyles evolve, small
towns line up for the spoils
Windfall: Just a few years ago few people knew where Katani is, but as
people seek bigger spaces and property prices pierce ceilings near the city
centre, this is quickly attracting the attention of developers who want better
yields. The same is happening across the country, meaning that, now, more
than ever before, towns near bigger towns are poised to enjoy part of the

NHC spent Sh130m on an
ICT system it did not need
The governments housing development parastatal,
the National Housing Corporation (NHC), lost Sh130
million on an ICT platform it did not need, an audit
says. The audit by the oce of the Inspector General
for Corporations, and which saw the suspension of the
Managing Director, Wachira Njuguna, says that Sh52.5
million of the amount was paid upfront. It emerged that
NHC did not need the platform or have the capacity to
host it. Another ICT system had been procured earlier
in 2012 for Sh14 million, and the audit found that NHC
did not need the new one.
The High Court has criticised
the lands ministry for illegal
allocations of public land after it
ordered the revocation of a title
issued irregularly in Upper Hill.
Associated Steels, which led a
petition in 2007 seeking to stop
the transfer of the piece of land
to Cami Graphics, said that the
0.86ha parcel of land had been
hived from their plot for a road
reserve in 1992. The company
moved to court after it found out
that the land it had ceded, and
which fronts the road, had been
assigned to Cami Graphics. There
was no evidence that Cami had
made an application for the plot.
The court ruled that the oce of
the Commissioner of Lands had no
power to convert land reserved for
public utility to private use.
High Court criticises Lands ministry
over allocation of Upper Hill land
the city centre, she explains, but
I still get there in comfortable
enough time. Ruaka, though
still growing as more and more
developers build here, is not as
congested as some Nairobi estates
are, and I think I would actually
move farther if I feel my space has
been invaded.
Her sentiments are echoed by
Lydia Limbe, a writer based in the
city who says that Ruakas allure
of a relaxed, rural setting was so
attractive to her that she could not
resist moving there.
I have had the experience of
living in Kilimani and Kileleshwa
but they all got crowded, says
Limbe.
Ruaka, however, is on every
developers radar, and that has
her worried. Should the worst
happen and the place goes to the
dogs, she would move farther away
as, if it were up to her, she would
live on a farm.
Outside Nairobi, the same
is happening. In Kisumu, for
instance, Maseno, Ahero and even
Kakamega are the new property
hostpots.
Peter Kimani says it is all about
the quality of life, the breath of
fresh Maseno air every morning
he wakes up, and the fact that he
can enjoy the same facilities that
residences nearer Kisumu town
would oer him.
I love the village life here. It
frees your mind from the hustles
and bustles of the city. When
Im here I feel truly at home,
he says, adding that instead of
renting a three-bedroom house for
Sh30,000 near Kisumus CBD, he
decided to look for a house that
oered him the same comforts
about 25 kilometres away.
In Mombasa, the gospel is
now no longer about Kizingo
and Ganjoni and Nyali and Tudor
as developers seek better yields
outside the traditional crowd
pullers.
As a result, Mtwapa, Kikambala,
Mazeras and of late Kaloleni
have started attracting the
attention of real estate investors
and individual builders.
Charles Abwao, for instance,
says he opted to move 16
kilometres away to Mtwapa from
Makande on the island because he
could not nd peace at home.
Makande is a nice estate, he
says, but it is too busy. The trac
was a mess and it was driving me
crazy. I decided to move out and
see what areas outside Mombasa
town had to oer. And Im not
complaining!
And so the quiet exodus is
happening. As people establish
their careers and start their
families, they are starting to look
for more comfortable, peaceful
areas to live in.
These areas may not have the
infrastructural developments that
CBDs and their adjoining estates
boast, but they still are cool
enough, quiet enough, conducive
enough and cheaper enough to
attract people in their droves.
Consequently, these are the new
growth areas, as Nathan Luesby,
the managing director of Jenga
Web, says in an interview published
by constructionkenya.com.
Land in some areas of Nairobi,
for instance, appreaciated in value
by more than 1,ooo per cent in the
past ve years, say Luesby, and
that cannot be a good piece of
information for the developers
who wants to put up for-sale
units.
If you are not careful, you
end up getting priced out of the
market, he adds.
Some analysts have forecasted
a reduction in the number of new
construction projects in Nairobi
owing to the exhaustion of land in
city suburbs like South B, South
C and Langata.
The result is that now most
projects are coming up in satellite
towns where land is cheaper, Alex

F
or the past six months,
Nelly Chepkoech had
been wondering how to
restore natural beauty to
her home garden.
The pruned hedges and lawn
looked too formal and dull, and
I felt they needed a change, she
says. I wanted excitement and
nature.
Then it struck her that one way
of doing this was going rustic.
I nd it attractive and natural
and felt that my garden could do
well with such a look, she says.
And Teresia Mugure, a home
dcor expert, agrees. Unlike the
common, modern themes, going
rustic oers an element of nature
and adds an old-fashioned aura to
a garden, she says.
Ms Mugure says that with the
right artistic touch and creativity,
Ms Chepkoech can radically
transform her back garden. First,
you need the right accessories.
Some of the rustic accessories
that you can use to create a truly
rustic garden are wrought iron
wind vanes, old wheelbarrows,
ceramic pots, old metal bowls,
bird houses, planters and bird
feeders.
After getting your accessories,
establish a focal point and then
allocate these accessories around
the available space.
To establish the right focal
point, place items near gates,
doors, walls or patio edges . For
example, you can place ower
planters on window sills and
basket planters on the edges
of the patio.
1
Work with your
space
The available space
determines how you
work.
According to Ms Mugure, it
is advisable to draw a rough sketch
and place all the items you wish to
include ion it. If your sketch looks
cluttered, your garden could end
up looking the same, she warns.
If you have lots of space, you
can have many items but if it you
do not, then small additions will
do the trick.
2
Plants
Carefully choose the kind
of owers you want.
Dont bring in just any
owers, cautions Ms Mugure,
adding,Wild flowers and
ornamental grasses are good
choices since they are beautiful
and easy to maintain. Vinca plants
will also ook great if you position
them close to the front. But they
need moist and well-drained
soil. You might also go for edible
plants, which could be creepers
like strawberries and passion
fruits, or fruit trees.
Should you decide to include
vegetables, place them at a
designated corner or in terra
cotta containers, Ms Mugure
suggests.
You can also add some scent,
with rosemary bushes, mint,
parsley, oleander or frangipani.
And this is where birdhouses
and feeders come in handy.
Have some birdhouses and
feeders to attract birds such as
sparrows, whose chirping will
add to the natural sound in your
garden.
In addition, you can hang wind
chimes.
Accents such as pergolas and
trellises can do a lot for a dull
garden, notes Ms Mugure.
3
Fountains and ponds
A small fountain or
pond in your garden can
be the major focal point
or part of the entire dcor. Ms.
Mugure observes that if you have
a fountain in your garden, can
make it warmer and more inviting
by making it an ornamental
central.
If you have a pond, you can
greater use of it by growing
some water plants in it if you
can, she says.
4
Bringing in furniture
When it comes to
furniture schemes,
synthetic materials
are unacceptable. Keep your
furniture and dcor as natural
as possible. For instance, you
can use reclaimed items to create
new, refurbished pieces.
Select only items that come
with that natural, unfinished
touch in order to create extra
focal points, advises Ms
Mugure.
Ms Mugure says that indoor
accessories such as mirrors can
be strategically placed to create
interesting reections and give
your garden depth. And for
comfort, add a wrought iron porch
swing. If you cannot get one, a
wooden swing will do just ne.
5
Keep it clean
It is important to note
that nature also needs care.
Consequently, maintain
your garden by ensuring that it
has a clean edge to its roughness.
For instance, you could regularly
refurbish your furniture, but if they
become too old, creaky and no
longer usable, you can replace
them.
However, keep it within
the natural. Dont bring in
too many modern and visible
refurbishments in the name of
change, says Ms Mugure.
All you need is a
careful mixture
of the natural and
articial to transform
that boring space
into a pretty patch
Give your
home garden
a rustic look
Dont bring in just any
ower. Wild owers
and ornamental
grasses are good
choices since they are
beautiful and easy to
maintain.

THE PRIDEINN GROUP of hotels will open a 280-room
hotel at the Coast in February next year, followed by another
in Kisumu and other prime tourism regions.
We are investing Sh2.5 billion in Shanzu and are condent
the hotel will do well, said Anthony Ngunga, the CEO of
PrideInn Hotels and Conferencing. Mr Ngunga revealed that
the expansion would be funded using the groups internal
cash reserves.
All 280 rooms will be modern, and will face the beach. The
hotel will have two presidential suites and 26 ordinary suites,
and will also have rooms specically designed for people with
disabilities.
In line with the groups standards, it hotel will have a
modern spa, and oer a variety of massages, as well as
reexology and other health and beauty treatments
It will also have a conference centre.
The Shanzu hotel will be the groups seventh in the country
and the fourth at the Coast, and comes three years after the
PrideInn ventured into the hotel business.
Meanwhile, work on the Kisumu hotel, which is worth about
Sh300 million, will begin in December. It will be located in a
prime area of the town and will have 60 rooms.
The hotel chains Managing Director, Mr Hasnain Noorani,
said they take pride in their ability to oer exceptional
standards.
The chain currently has six branches in Nairobi and
Mombasa. Its main hotel in Nairobi is in the plush Westlands,
20km from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and 15 km
from Wilson Airport. It is also seven kilometres from the
railway station and ve kilometres from major bus stations.
The main branch in Mombasa is conveniently located on
Haile Selassie avenue in the centre of the town, providing easy
access to Fort Jesus, Old Town and other tourist attractions,
shopping malls and a number of institutions.
The hotel chain is also planning to further expand its reach
in Nairobi, with branches in Upperhill, Lavington, Parklands
and near the airport.
It has also earmarked several counties in its long-term
expansion plans, which will give priority to Eldoret, Machakos
and Nakuru. Thereafter, the group plans to widen to its reach
in East Africa.
According to chains Marketing and Brand Manager, Ms
Makandi Laiboni, they began operations in Kenya in 2012 and
have recorded 10 per cent growth.
We currently have about 300 employees but expect the
number to rise to 800 by 2015, she said.
The chains main selling points include prime locations
that are ideal for both business and leisure, huge conference
capacity, and exibility that enables them to meet clients
needs.
The group is also targeting the countrys growing middle
class, which appreciates value at aordable prices.

T
hey say that a thing of
beauty is a joy forever,
emphasis being on forever.
Quite often we treat many
things as ugly just because we feel
they are of a long-gone era, or
because they show signs of age
or a bit of roughness around the
edges, like an old cupboard that is
chipped and antique looking.
While it might not look
contemporary, such a piece can,
with a bit of creativity, earn a
stylish place in your home. Here
are a few ways to add some old
charm to your home.
1
In glass
Old glass mason jars are
timeless and, ooh, so versatile.
Often bought in sets, they can
be hard to put on display if some
jars are missing.
However, there is an easy way to
put these jars to good use. Simply
collect them all in one place like
on your bedside table or your
bathroom shelf and ll their base
with some potpourri.
This little trick will give the jars
a pop of colour and some visual
interest.
You can go a step further and
remove the lids of the jars and use
them as vases for fresh owers. To
make the jars look even more chic,
tie a bit of string around the owers
before you put them inside.
2
In the woods
Nothing looks more chic
than a wooden mirror frame
made from tree bark; the
texture of the bark makes even the
smallest of mirrors look interesting.
A great way to incorporate this
look into your home is to spray-
paint the frames on two long
mirrors and then place them
side by side horizontally above
your dining room table.
This will not only double
the amount of light around your
dining space, but will also make
the space look larger. Still on the
subject of frames, you can use an
old window frame for some black-
and-white pictures and display
them along your corridors.
3
On mute
When injecting old charm
into a space, one of the tried
and tested ways of doing
this easily is to use muted colours
such as light greys, soft creams
and whites on walls, furniture and
even window treatments. In your
bedroom, you could stick to simple
white linen and paint your walls a
light grey.
To add some visual interest,
you can use throws and pillows
in dierent hues of cream but of
dierent textures such as faux wool,
lace and even modern-day sequins
or synthetic sude.
The bottom line is to keep it
light as the rest of the shabby
and distressed pieces should be
the focal point and not the rest of
the room.
4
Blemished
Yet another trick is to
use pieces that are rusty,
weather beaten and worn.
Note that this does not mean
damaged items, but rather, pieces
that look old. If you are unable to
get items that look like this, you
can get them distressed by your
carpenter.
This can be done using various
ways such as painting a piece of
furniture like a table and deliberately
chipping it before it dries so that it
looks almost unnished.
5
Stark contrast
One way to really make
an old charm space look
contemporary is to pair some
of the things in the room with pieces
of a dierent styles. For instance,
you could use a distressed white
dining table alongside an ornate
glass chandelier fixture for an
unexpected but romantic touch.
6
Booked
A simple and cost-
eective way to make old
charm functional in your
room is to use some of your
everyday pieces in old ways.
For instance, you can bring your
old metal trunks from the store to
your guestroom, decorate them
with a couple of glass domes and
voil, you l have a great surface for
your guests to use as a table.
Another simple trick is to cover
some of your old books with vintage
prints and some ribbon and put
the books on display, say on your
bedside table.
Last but not least, you can spray-
paint a few old biscuit and sweet
tins in some pastel colours and
use them as containers for your
jewellery.
Add a little old charm to your home
A great
way to
incor-
porate
this look is
to spray-
paint the
fames on
two long
mirrors
and then
place
them side
by side
horizon-
tally above
your
dining
rooom
table
To add some visual
interest, you can use
throws and pillows
in dierent hues of
cream but of dierent
textures such as faux
wool, lace or synthetic
sude .

I
dont want my bed painted
that colour because it is
the colour used to paint
cons, a near-hysterical
client remarked while opposing the
dark brown hue a carpenter at a
furniture workshop in Kisumu town
suggested.
The answer above and conversations
with 12 other carpenters in Kisumu
show how fussy the residents of this
town are when it comes to buying
furniture, and especially beds.
Benjamin Ochieng of Mwema Super
Furniture on Carwash Street says
that his clients mostly buy furniture
when they are preparing to move out
of their parents home to establish
their own.
No one wants to set up his home
with an old bed, Ochieng, who has
been in the furniture business in
Kisumu for more than a decade, told
DN2.
At his shop, a simple queen-size
bed, which measures 5ft by 6.8ft,
costs Sh35,000. However, the price
that can go higher if the client wants
it embellished. In some carpentry
shops, a similar bed can cost up to
Sh90,000
Ochieng says that Luos reputed love
for the ner things in life is evident is
evident in their fastidiousness when
buying beds.
Most people here love a big
bed, with unique details such as a
conspicuous headboard, Ochieng
said, adding that some even come with
specic details, including the kind of
joints and nish they want, such as the
use of a high-end nishing wax called
Tupac. Some clients want their beds
sprayed rather than painted.
Do orders for other furniture they
make receive this kind of attention
to detail?
Not necessarily, says Ochieng.
While many residents will not mind
having seats that are commonplace,
they will strive to make sure their bed
is unique.
A drive through the towns streets
gives a glimpse into just how many
furniture workshops it has, many of
which are roadside outts.
Notably, the number of carpenters is
inversely proportional to the number
of adverts inviting the public to a sale
or showroom.
Robins Onyango, the assistant
manager at Dona Furniture Place on
the Kisumu-Mumias highway, dares
anyone to show him more than ve
showrooms in the entire town. But he
is quick to add that the dearth of those
showrooms does not mean that people
are not willing to spend outrageous
amounts of money on a bed.
Very few people want beds that
look like someone elses they bring
pictures downloaded from the Internet
but even with those, they make some
adjustments, he said.
Ornate beds
Onyango confirms Kisumu
residents love of ornate beds, saying
in Kisumu most people want a chest
of drawers by the bed.
When we visited their workshop,
Ochieng said that in August, they
had received orders for 32 beds, which
were awaiting collection.
Another carpenter from Kibuye
called Marcus said that his clients
do not buy beds from supermarkets,
except for their children.
However, if they see a design they
like at a supermarket, they copy the
copy the design and bring it to him,
with specic alterations.
When they bring those pictures,
they go into detail about the kind of
joinery they want, such as dowel or
the traditional mortise and tennon,
he said.
Notably, hotels are beginning to use
beds guided by these preferences.
Some people are
particularly fussy about
this particular piece
of item, preferring to
have it tailor made and
will not buy one from a
supermarket, except for
their children

DN decorating
with glass buildings is purely
aesthetic, noting they are
more expensive to put up
than buildings with concrete
exteriors.
A glass is like a mirror
because it can reect everything
around it and no matter how
much embellish concrete, glass
will always win but like beauty, it
comes at extra nancial cost to
the developer, he notes.
No matter the height of the
building, its support comes from
iron and concrete columns that
run from the foundation to the
top depending on its weight
so if you have glass faades,
your columns must be stronger,
which means more money will
be spent on this aspect.
But beneath all that glitter lie
high environmental cost as such
buildings are said to consume
more electricity. Indeed, experts
have suggested that developers
end the trend.
Data from the United Nations
Environmental Programme
(Unep) indicate that such
buildings account for up to a third
of greenhouse gas emissions as
they consume a lot of energy for
air conditioning.
The Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change estimates
that emissions from such
buildings will rise to 11.1 billion
tonnes by 2020.
John Maritim, an architect,
says beauty aside, glass buildings
are have become popular thanks
to Kenyans belief that anything
that comes from the West is
good, adding that they are
inappropriate for the Kenyan
climate, which is sunny most
of the year.
In the West, developers
prefer glass faades from a
technical standpoint because
they receive sunshine for only
ve months a year, and glass
allows light in and then converts
it to energy, thereby warming
up the building. This leads to a
reduction in the need for electric
heating, he says.

he imposing concrete
structures that rise above
the Nairobi skyline once
gave it the nickname
concrete jungle. In the last
decade, however, a sudden anity
for buildings with aesthetic appeal
among developers and tenants alike
has seen proliferation of high-rise
buildings with all-glass faades.
And the rush seems unstoppable,
if a drive around these areas is
anything to go by.
In Westlands alone, there are
more than a dozen of these all-
glass exterior buildings serving as
oce blocks or commercial-cum-
residential buildings, with more
under construction. Built over the
last 10 years, they have replaced
traditional landmarks in the area
like the Sarit Centre, Unga House
and The Mall.
Just next to the Westlands
roundabout on Waiyaki way is
Delta Towers, a sophisticated
combination of two identical
18-storey concrete-and-glass
commercial-cum-residential
blocks.
Along the same road, next to Aga
Khan High School are the imposing
West End Towers, providing a mix of
retail and oce space on the lower
oor and residential apartments on
the 16 top oors.
A stones throw away is the
Sh 3.1 billion Le Mac, still under
construction. The design of the
22-storey curved, all-glass exterior
building with a ve-star rooftop
restaurant and swimming pool
set for completion in 2015 was
inspired by projects in Dubai. It
promises to oer a new quality
of accommodation to the city,
according to its developers, Mark
Properties.
And on the junction of Ring Road
Parklands and Lower Kabete Road
is the 9 West, an 11-oor purely
commercial structure of glass that
was opened recently.
It appears that, like four-wheel
drive vehicle, translucent buildings
are fast gaining ground as symbols
of prestige as aesthetic appeal
becomes one of the factors that
motivate tenants to take up space
in a building.
Industry experts say the country
is ocially in an era of expressionist
architecture like the one witnessed
in several European countries
between 1900 and 1950, driven
by the industrialisation and high
economic growth rates in those
countries.
This period was characterised by
the adoption of novel materials,
formal innovation, and unusual
massing, sometimes inspired
by natural biomorphic forms,
sometimes by the new technical
possibilities oered by the mass
production of brick, steel and
especially glass, leading to the mass
construction of skyscrapers.
Engineer Charles Maina, a
construction consultant at Engtech
Consultants, says the demand
for glass buildings is a result of
competition.
Because of competition, the
address of a company matters a
lot since rst impressions make
or break a business deal and for
this reason, companies want to be
identied with beautiful buildings,
he says.
It is just like a beautiful woman; if
she looks good on the outside, then
everything about her is presumed to
be good . Apart from this, companies
in transparent buildings are also
presumed to have a transparent
culture, which makes them better
to deal with, he adds.
Consequently, more and more
companies prefer to be located in
such buildings. For instance, West
End Towers two most prominent
tenants are oil giant Tullow Oil and
the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
Maina says that this love aair

THE CHALLENGE with mod-
ern times is having to make
many decisions, from buy-
ing an appropriate mobile
phone to choosing a good
investment. The fact is that
there can never be one op-
tion which suits everyones
requirement when it comes
to investing. People have dif-
ferent personal and nancial
circumstances and goals in
life. As a result of this, the re-
turn we want for our invest-
ments and the risks we are
prepared to take vary from
one person to another. This
means the types of invest-
ments suitable to our needs
will also vary greatly.
The rst step to successful
investing is to understand
how much risk you are
prepared to take and how
you are comitted to invest
to achieve your goals. This
will help you determine
which type of investment
will be in line with your
personal nancial plan. It is
very crucial for you to rst
understand where you stand
nancially vis-a-vis the mile-
stones ahead of you and then
start looking for appropriate
investments.
Investment objective
Another factor to consider
is your objective for invest-
ing. It is recommended to
match your investment with
your goals; short-term goals
require short-term invest-
ments which should carry a
low level of risk while long-
term goals call for long-term
investments, preferably with
a level of risk that is not too
high. As a general rule, all
investments involve some
degree of risk. It is therefore
important for you to under-
stand the inherent relation-
ship between your tolerance
for risk and the reward from
your investment. The fact
that you are in full-time em-
ployment means your partic-
ipation in active investments
such as a business is limited;
try and go for investments
that will not require your
full-time attention for better
chances of success.
Understanding your nan-
cial personality and aligning
it to your goals and balanc-
ing your ability to take risks
with your desire for reward
will be the foundation for a
successful investing journey.
In the meantime, continue
to save more as you take
time to weigh investment
options that are compatible
with your risk tolerance and
personal goals.

THANK YOU for following this
column. Many readers have asked me to
guide them on how to write a business
plan. Here are the key components you
need to have in your business plan as a
startup or a running business.
First, do not take this as template but
just a guide to help you think through
your planning. A good business plan
requires objective analysis and critical
thinking. We can sometimes be excited
about a business idea but when you
analyse, you realise that it may not be
all such a great thing to invest your
money and time after all. This could be
because of tough competition or lack
of funds to grow the idea into a money
minter.
When you have a good business plan,
you have a blueprint to keep referring
to establish if you are still on track. If
you need people to put money into
your business, having a plan will help
you establish where you will need to
inject it rst as well as where you have
least resources.
Some funders may ask your business
plan to see if you have thought through
the key elements. Make sure you have
a summary of the entire business plan
that is easy to scan. That is what to
share with others but for your own
sake, open up each summary items
into what it will entail to achieve the
goals dened. In the summary, include
your products and services, the market,
justication of the business, potential
competition, growth potential and
capital requirements.
The key components to include
are products and/or services, market
opportunities, sales and marketing to
penetrate the market, competition,
operations, management and nancial
plans. For products and services,
be sure of your actual products or
services that you hope to present to
the customer whether they are in the
market or under development. What
makes your product dierent, its
competitive advantages and possible
challenges as well as pricing that will
make prot.
How do you know your product or
service? Who will buy? Look critically at
the market opportunities by analysing
and evaluating customer demographics,
purchasing habits, buying cycles and
how they adopt new products in the
market.
Spending capacity
Remember to look at the actual size
of your target market, population,
purchasing power and spending
capacity. Why should this market use
their money on your products? Is it a
need or just a choice to have it? Are
you going to be low price seller or a
value-add provider who sells at a higher
price? Will you grow the market over
time and if so, how will you do this?
Now that you have your product
or service, know your market
opportunities. How will you get this
product to the market and have
money hitting your cash box or bank
account? This is why you need a sales
and marketing plan. Customers must
know your great product. This the
biggest job of every SME owner. You
need a budget for sales and marketing,
monitor and determine whether your
sales and marketing strategies are
working successfully or not, sales and
marketing representatives and products
promotion events, public relations,
marketing materials and ways to record
all the potential customers.
Other components in your business
plan such as competition analysis,
business operations and management
must not be forgotten. From how many
sta you will need to have ecient
operations to salary structure.
Lastly, you need to have a good
number of stories to tell yourself and
others who may need to join you in the
business. Have a good nancial plan,
this is the bottom line and the primary
reason we start businesses. We want to
put products in the market and make
prots as customers choose us and our
products. Include in this your projected
or existing incomes, cash ows and
break even analysis.
Note that challenges will come as
opportunities are pursued. Remember
to identify existing or likely pitfalls or
roadblocks. Best wishes as you execute
your business plan.

Dear Ms Kawira,
My name is Davies Okombo and I sin-
cerely thank you for your prompt assist-
ance to Kenyans of all walks of life.
I hold a Visa card issued by Chase
Bank in pertnership with Airtel Money.
On Friday, August 8, this year, I at-
tempted to withdraw Sh3,000 from a
Barclays ATM at United Mall in Kisumu.
Unfortunately, the transaction did not
go through.
I further tried to withdraw the same
amount at Co-op Bank ATM but it was
also declined.
However to my utter surprise, a total
of Sh6,000 was deducted from my Airtel
account.
I have raised the complaint at both
Chase Bank customer care and Airtel
customer care desks but until today the
money has not been reversed to my ac-
count.
Kindly follow up on my behalf as my
calls do not seem to draw prompt action.
Thank you in advance.
Hello Davies,
Thank you for contacting us and
appreciating our work.
It is unfortunate that you have
had to suffer this much in the
hands of your prefered bank and
telco company.
We have been in communication
with Chase Bank on the problem
you lodged with us.
In its response, the financial
institution noted that it has since
solved your problem.
We hope that you are now able
to access your funds and that your
Visa card is in proper working con-
dition. Feel free to get in touch with
us if you need further assistance.
Dear Yvonne,
First and foremost, thank you for great
work and trying to help the helpless.
I hereby wish to bring to your attention
my predicament through custody and
registrars.
Having secured all necessary docu-
mentation for the transfer of shares,
I handed over the same to my stock
broker, in this case Standard Investment
Bank.
The bank then handed the docu-
ments to custody and registrars who are
mandated to proceed with the transfer.
To my utter dismay, I found out that this
organisation is answerable to know one.
Since February this year, I have been
to its offices time and again but the
answer has always been an old and tired
response, your documents are being
worked on.
Their main excuse being either the
system is down or the person who is
working on the documents is unavail-
able.
Please, Yvonne, help me get to the
bottom of this problem. I believe that
someone should be held accountable.
I am sure that many more people are
suering in silence, since every time you
will nd the place is choking with cus-
tomers waiting to be served. My name
is Hassan Noor.
Hello Noor,
Thank you for contacting us with
this query. It is unfortunate that you
have had to suer this much as you
try to transfer your assets.
Just as you had requested us, we
got in touch with Standard Invest-
ment Bank and lodge your problem
with it.
The bank in its response in-
formed us that indeed it takes time
for an estate to be transferred.
According to the nancial insti-
tution, this transfer can take a long
time and can also be rejected by
multiple entities in the process.
In as much as the bank regrets
your delay, it has however noted
that all it can do for now is ask if
the transfer is done.
This is because the stockbroker
does not have any role to play in an
estate transfer except to deliver the
documents.
The nancier also noted that the
stockbroker is the face of the proc-
ess and as such, appears to be the
inecient entity.
In addition, the bank also noted
that it takes this role very seriously
and always relays the correct infor-
mation to the customer as to the
status of the transfer, be it good
or bad.
Kindly comply with the bank and
help them sort out your issue.
We hope that this information
has been helpful. We urge you to
keep us posted on this matter and
let us know if you need further as-
sistance.

AS COMPANIES migrate toward a world
of bring-your-own-device policies, some are
developing strategies to help address these
risks. But as a rule, using a work computer for
personal reasons or doing work on a personal
computer can signicantly change the threat
level that an employer has to protect against.
To help their organisation protect systems
and data, employees need to implement some
smart web browsing habits. Smart web brows-
ing means engaging in the following activities:
1. Updated your browser
Next to a computers operating system, the
most critical software to keep up-to-date is
the web browser and any plug-ins it uses (like
Adobe Flash or Java). These types of inte-
grated applications allow code from Internet
websites to run locally on your computer and,
as a result, are among the most commonly ex-
ploited by malicious code.
2. Disable unused plug-ins
For the same reason, if doing a lot of random
surng is done, consider keeping plug-ins and
scripting disabled except when on a known,
trusted site. This can help prevent drive-by
malware that runs through JavaScript or
through plug-ins like ash and infects a compu-
ter after a visit to a site.
3. Beware of downloads
Malware can be hidden, not just in applica-
tions or installation software, but in what ap-
pear to be image and video les also. To limit
the likelihood of downloading content that con-
tains malware, only download from reputable
sites. With sites that are not a household name,
take the time to do a little research and see if
other people have had issues.
Additionally, be sure that antivirus software
is set up to automatically scan downloads. Or
scan downloads manually, even when receiv-
ing them from name-brand sites, as it is not
unheard of for infected les to make their way
onto otherwise legitimate web sites. This is es-
pecially true for le-sharing sites where the site
owner cannot control every piece of content a
user may place there.
4. Be wary of unscrupulous sites
Those running sites already breaking the law
by illegally distributing copyrighted materials,
like pirated music, movies or software, probably
have no qualms about including malicious con-
tent in their downloads or stealing information.
5. Heed alerts
Many popular web browsers today have built-
in functionality that provides an alert when vis-
iting a website that is known to be dangerous.
And if the browser doesnt give a notice, the
antivirus software may provide that function.
Heed the alerts!
Part of the fun of searching the Internet has
always been discovering whats out there. But
just like when visiting a new city, avoid some
places after dark. And never wander into others
at any time. Be alert.

With a giant market value of
Sh4.55 billion from 92 million shares,
Mumias Sugar was docked among the
most promising rms in Kenya. The
miller had a bright future, perhaps the
reason why many investors took their
savings, borrowed heavily, fought and
rued to buy a stake.
But neither the pioneer 20,000
shareholders, nor the current 1.53 bil-
lion share-owners could have imagined
how deep MV Mumias was going to
sink.
In two-and-a-half years, thousands
of investors have watched helplessly
as Mumias collapses to the sea bed
following collisions with nancial and
managerial icebergs in the industry.
For instance, last week, Mumias
suspended 27 middle-level managers,
announcing that Sh1.1 billion has been
lost in mysterious deals. It has already
sacked its managing director Peter
Kebati and commercial director Paul
Murgor over illegal imports of sugar.
According to investment and nan-
cial analyst and Rich Management
CEO Aly Khan Satchu, Mumias is a
blot on our capital markets. We have
seen a bifurcation over the last few
years where some companies such as
Safaricom, EABL and KCB have held
themselves to a world class standard
while others have ducked below the
good governance bar. Mumias is the
most egregious example, he noted.
Mumias presents a very bitter lesson
on how unabated mismanagement can
destroy shareholder wealth, Mr Satchu
added.
The magnitude of the decline came
to the fore recently when long-term,
single largest shareholder, Baloobhai
Patel, exited the rms top 10 share-
holders list selling his 17 million
shares at a loss. At the time of exit,
his shares were worth Sh42.5 million.
At the current price of Sh2 per share,
his wealth would have contracted by
over Sh6 million. Not long ago, his
portfolio could have fetched Sh255
million at Sh15 and Sh1 billion at Sh60
per share.
At the moment, according to Geng-
his Capital, the National Treasury is
the biggest shareholder in Mumias
with 20 per cent stake, followed by
Standard Chartered nominee account
KE17984 with 2.31 per cent, KCB with
1.72 per cent, Jubilee Insurance with
1.46 per cent, Abdul Karim Popat with
0.94 per cent, Suresh Varsani with
0.60 per cent, Pradeep Patani with
0.59 per cent, Yana Trading Limited
with 0.56 per cent, Ramila Mavji and
Harji Mavji Kerai with 0.49 per cent,
CFC Stanbic Nominees Account
R57601 with 0.45 per cent and Others
with 70.89 per cent.
Local individuals own 868,440,132
shares, local institutions (552,223,439
shares) and foreign investors
109,336,429 shares. Painfully, local
investors have seen their wealth shrink
to Sh1.9 billion from Sh13 billion less
than ve years ago when the share
traded at Sh15 apiece.
Anne Wanjau belongs to this band.
Recently, she bought 277,200 shares
at Sh3.23 each. With the stock trad-
ing at Sh2.20 currently, she has lost
considerably. If I sell now, Ill lose
Sh300,000. If I continue to hold, I
may lose more, she says, betraying
a bout of regret. Sailing in the same
boat is Peterson Odhiambo. A month
ago, Mr Odhiambo bought 38,400
Mumias shares at Sh2.6 each with
hope that the counter would rally to
Sh3 or Sh4. I invested Sh100,000,
but today, my investment has lost
Sh24,000, he says.
97 per cent loss
From September 12, 2006, Mu-
mias stock has contracted to Sh2 per
share from an all-time high of Sh60
per share, handing investors 97 per
cent loss. On Friday last week, the
market capitalisation of Mumias fell
to Sh3.44 billion from Sh3.52 billion
recorded previously.
As Money found out, stock analysts
fear that Mumias may be suspended
from trading at the NSE if the poor
run persists.
Every penny investors pump in
the stock is a speculative investment
due to the risk of suspension and a

depreciating fundamental value, a
research analyst at Genghis Capital
Silha Rasugu said. According to Eric
Munywoki, a research analyst at Old
Mutual Securities, if a company be-
gins to trade below its per value, the
Capital Markets Authority may begin
to consider the possibility of suspen-
sion, he says.
The suspension of CMC from the
NSE in September 2011 was due to
fraud, lack of disclosure of nancial
statements and conict of interest
amongst board members. Mumias
may end up following the same route
if no remedy is availed, Mr Satchu
noted.
Mr John Mbugua, a research ana-
lyst at Investax Capital illustrates us-
ing Uchumi Supermarket. In early
2000s, Uchumi started experiencing
nancial and operational diculties
that were caused by a sub-optimal
expansion strategy, poor internal con-
trol systems and mismanagement, he
says. Consequently, on May 31, 2006,
the board of directors resolved that
Uchumi stops business. On June 2,
2006, Debenture Holders placed it
under receivership and the Capital
Markets Authority suspended it
fromthe bourse.
The government being the big-
gest shareholder hasnt made
things any better due to its reluc-
tance to intervene in Mumias. This
suggests that the government could
opt to exit and have the company
privatised, Mr Munywoki notes. Mr
Rasugu concurs, adding that such a
plan could bring down production
costs through factory modernisa-
tion, eciency and uninterrupted
business.
Littered by liabilities
However, losses and ongoing poor
share run could see the miller lose its
value. No private investor would be
willing to buy a company littered by
liabilities. Instead, they could bargain
for assets only, Mr Munywoki notes.
Strikingly, some securities rms
advised their customers to walk
away from Mumias. For
instance, in August 2013,
Sterling Capital asked share-
holders to exit Mumias then
trading at Sh4.32 per share. This fol-
lowed a prot warning issued by the
company. By then, the share price had
fallen from a high of Sh5.05 traded a
month earlier. We singled out cane
poaching, import competition, new
entrants in the market and insucient
raw materials as some of the risk fac-
tors that would drive the company -
nancials and share price downwards,
research analyst at Sterling Capital
Moses Waireri told Money.
The company is yet to issue a prot
warning despite the inevitability of
suering loss this year. This failure
represents an internal dysfunction
and even collapse, says Mr Satchu.
Worse, adds Mr Mbugua, there is a
possibility that the stock may go lower
than Sh2 if Mumias announces a big
loss in its full-year results.
Investors buying the stock or
seeking to exit using averaging down
strategy are doing so purely on per-
sonal speculations. Their manoeuvres
will inevitably have to face o with
the depreciating value of the counter,
cautions Mr Rasugu.
The rms reduced protability has
been due to heavy blows from cut-
throat competition and contracting
market share. Within four years, 11
sugar millers, ve of which are pri-
vate, have joined the market. But in
March, Mumias got a reprieve after
Comesa extended safeguards against
cheap imports fromthe bloc by a year.
However, from March 2015, Mumias
could be up for sti competition as
the safeguards end.
What happens to investors money
if the stock is suspended from the
bourse? The money will be tied up
in the stock until such a time that it
can trade again, says Mr Mbugua. As
ordinary shareholders, the liability of
the company lies only to their share-
holding. There is little that Capital
Markets Authority will do when or-
dinary shareholders lodge complaints
with it.

An adult? Dont blame parents for your nancial woes
I AM HUMBLED by the overwhelm-
ing feedback on last weeks article. Many
thanks to the young people who chose
honesty to conrm that they too fear
some of their behaviours with money
have brought home nancial stress,
even though they have pretended
to be doing well. Allow me to con-
gratulate those who have taken a
hard look at their spending trends
early enough. One switch o in
the mindset is enough to bring
back wealth, when taken early
enough. Perhaps, I should also
take an early opportunity to em-
phasise that anybody above the age
of 19 years, has no recourse to blame
parents or parenting for their present
and possible nancial woes in fu-
ture. Once the mantle has been
handed over, the responsibility to correct
previous, current and subsisting issues lies
on the holder of authority.
Many parents hand over decision mak-
ing to their children once they join college,
albeit without an operating manual for han-
dling money. One of the presumed respon-
sibilities handed over is the ability to seek
guidance from them or indeed anyone else
whenever you feel inadequate or incompe-
tent especially on critical decisions.
Face consequences
Just before I left her home for the city in
September 1990, my mother reminded me
to use my mind and to make decisions that
I can happily face the consequences. Today,
I thank her.
I am reminded every time I think of men-
toring young people to refer to the book of
Proverbs (12:15) the ways of a fool seem
right to him, but a wise man listens to ad-
vice. King Solomon asked parents to teach
children in their ways and they shall not
depart from it when they grow old free
from parental control. These lessons must
include how the family earns money, for
example, by drafting them into family busi-
ness and investments at very early ages.
Even the church and mosques capture chil-
dren at very young ages with the message
of spirituality.
Dishonest money dwindles away, but he
who gathers money little by little, makes
it grow. Underlying this reality is the les-
sons and values the investor acquires while
growing their money.

Roselyn Ayiemba picks
her nutrition guide book from
her handbag as she welcomes
visitors to her business stand
in a village trade fair in Ebut-
salwa, Vihiga County.
Welcome and feel free to
taste all these cakes and crisps
made from pumpkin, banana,
cassava, amaranth and soya
beans, she tells visitors from
the ministry of Agriculture.
Ms Ayiemba, a member of
Matunda development group
says high demand for nutri-
tious foods and ready mar-
ket has motivated the team
formed two years ago to make
the products daily and supply
them to markets in Vihiga,
Kisumu, Busia and Kakamega
counties.
The 30-member team also
makes banana biscuits, paw-
paw jam, banana wine, fruit
juices, pumpkin flour and
porridge, sweet potato and
cassava ours which they sell
locally. The products attract
between Sh150 and Sh500
each.
A birthday cake made from
banana or pumpkin retails at
Sh1,000. Amaranth and cas-
sava cakes fetch Sh500.
Ms Ayiemba says that the
cakes are on high demand at
local institutions as well as
hotels.
A glass of wine made from
ripe bananas retails at between
Sh100 and Sh350 per litre.
To make a banana cake, one
needs to peel o unripe ba-
nanas and then chop them into
pieces. The pieces are washed
and sun-dried for about three
to ve days after which they
are ground into our.
The banana our is mixed
with wheat our. Thereafter, a
mixture of sugar, eggs, marga-
rine and milk is added into the
dough. Ms Ayiemba then adds
baking powder and a pinch of
salt then bakes it for one hour
under moderate heat.
Most often, the team uses
sand as a substitute for oven.
We are in the process of
buying at least ve ovens and
other modern equipment to
make our work easier, Ms
Frida Anyona, a team mem-
ber, says.
Despite lack of modern
value addition equipment, the
team has been able to make
nutritious meals thanks to
training from Kenya horticul-
tural competitiveness project,
Farm Concern International
and ministry of Agriculture.
New markets
Besides providing market
links, Farm Concern Inter-
national also scouts for new
markets for the farmers.
We train farmers on market
orientation, products quality,
quantity, value addition and a
consistent supply of the pro-
duce, says Spencer Mabonga,
a monitoring and evaluation
specialist with Farm Concern.
Mr Mabonga says they also
provide training on several
modules on nutritional com-
ponent and best agronomical
practices, group cohesion and
leadership, nancial manage-
ment, table banking and how
farmers can get loans.
Lincoln Onzere, Emuhaya
sub-county agriculture ocer
from the ministry of Agricul-
ture says they provide exten-
sion services to farmers with
an aim of improving crop and
livestock production.
Besides value addition, the
group also practices o sea-
son vegetable farming under
drip irrigation. They grow
amaranth popularly known
as mchicha or livogoi in local
dialect, spider weed or dek,
black night shade also known
as osuga or lisusa, mitoo, jute
mallow or mtere, cowpeas and
spinach. We make an annual
turnover of Sh950,000 from
the sale of both vegetables and
value added products, says
Peres Ochieng, the groups
chairperson.

NSE: Last week, NSE 20-Share
Index closed at 5,160.32 points a
20.93-point jump from 5,139.39 points
recorded in the previous week.
NSE IPO: As anticipated, the NSE
IPO was oversubscribed by 663
per cent. With the shares going at
Sh9.50 each, investors sought over
500 million shares worth Sh4.8
billion against 66 million shares on
oer. Consequently, every inves-
tor will rst get a minimum of 500
shares, plus additional shares on a
pro rata basis in multiples of 100.
The IPO refunds were processed
and wired to buyers bank accounts
by Friday last week. According to
Silha Rasugu, a research analyst at
Genghis Capital, those who got the
refunds should rst look at buying
other counters. Previous experi-
ences have shown that supply after
an IPO doesnt come cheap. Those
who bought will only exit at a pre-
mium, he says.
Uchumi: On Monday, Uchumi
announced a Sh384 million prot
after tax for the full year ended
June. This was a 7.5 per cent rise
from Sh357.01 million prot after
tax recorded in 2013. The rm of-
fered Sh0.30 dividend per share.
Ironically, Uchumi closed a branch
in Uganda last week, and has in-
dicated that it will be closing or
relocating others.
Last Friday, the company closed the
day at Sh11.90 with a high of Sh11.95
per share a 3.93 per cent improve-
ment from Sh11.45 traded on Thurs-
day. On Monday, the counter opened
at Sh12.10.
In the past one year, Uchumi has
traded at a high of Sh23 and a low of
Sh11. The drop was attributed to ap-
proval of a rights issue in December
last year which was postponed to
September. According to John Mbu-
gua, a research analyst at Investax
Capital, the rights issue is a spoiler to
the improved returns. While the prof-
its are a positive, investors should wait
until the cash call is announced, he
says. Further, according to Mr Rasugu,
only long-term investors should con-
sider buying this stock.
Centum: Last week, this column
noted how Centum Investments
has been appreciating. And after
signing a lucrative Sh174 billion
contract to build a coal power
plant, the share rallied to Sh55.50
on Friday and hit Sh61 per share
on Monday. The coal plant will be
the single largest energy centre in
Kenya. According to Investax Capi-
tal boss Ndindi Nyoro, the stock is
no longer viable for a buy. It has
surged a lot, and investors may
want to hesitate before jumping
in, he says.

Danson Muchemi, 31, runs
an enterprise that has arguably
reached its peak.
His business, JamboPay, began
in 2009 at a cyber caf with one
computer servicing all his busi-
ness deals. It has now grown into
an enterprise employing over 100
people. And just recently, Jambo-
Pay began rolling out cashless
parking system in Nairobi City
County.
Mr Muchemi was cut to run
his own business from the time
he graduated Kenyatta University
with a bachelor of science degree
in telecommunications and IT.
I worked briey for a Turkish
rm; I was focused on gaining
my own experience that could
propel me into a successful entre-
preneur with a perfect network,
noted Mr Muchemi. Five years
on, he is the managing director
of JamboPay.
In 2009, determined to be-
come his own boss, Mr Muchemi
walked into a cyber, leased a
computer which he paid monthly
rent of Sh4,500.
I was only armed with a vi-
sion, mission, company objec-
tive, and a clear strategy for
development of the project. To
gain strength, I joined hands with
former graduates, Mr Muchemi
during told Money at his oce in
View Park Towers, Utalii Lane, in
Nairobi.
It took him long to stabilise his
business, he was mainly acting
as a payment service provider to
various customers in Nairobi; he
helped organisations to accept
payment and collect revenue
through online platforms.
As soon as I managed to
come up with Sh85,000, from
the venture, I used it as startup
capital to expand it, he said.
His journey towards achiev-
ing excellence was quite tough
because he was operating during
an era when computerisation of
services was slowly being ap-
preciated by startups. It took him
about six months to get a licence
from Central Bank of Kenya (to
operate a payment service) and
Communication Authority of
Kenya CAK (to get a telcoms
licence).
For six months, I was hardly
surviving, but I steered on, I
was getting no returns at all
and it was quite tough to make
ends meet but I kept on seek-
ing partnerships, marketing my
services and doing all that could
strengthen me, Mr Muchemi
said.
The business has now grown,
it is connected to all banks in
Kenya and has five members
of board chaired by Mr Hans
Brugmans.
JamboPay has so far signed
projects worth over Sh3 billion
this year, and the company has
won the Google innovation
award 2013/2014 among other
recognitions.
Besides automating revenue
collection in Nairobi County,
JamboPay runs services for
hospitals in the capital; it has
already diversified into other
East African countries and the
Netherlands. It has Tanzania and
Senegal on its radar too.
As for Nairobi County cashless
parking service, which started
on a pilot phase last month,
JamboPay has trained employees
at the city on how to operate the
service. Mr Muchemi said that
the companys mandate now is to
conduct back end management
of the systems trac, upgrade,
and maintenance.
JamboPay services targets
about 13,000 motorists in Nairobi
daily who are set to use cashless
parking system. The system is
expected to cut revenue losses by
30 per cent as the county expects
a net earning of Sh5 billion from
parking fees this year. It was
launched following complaints by
motorists that their vehicles were
being clumped despite prompt
payment for packing.
Revenue collection
Mr Muchemi told Money that
the rm beat 65 other contest-
ants who had applied for the
countys cashless revenue col-
lection.
Our strategy is to be in 14 Af-
rican countries within a period of
four years, we will achieve this,
he concluded.

At 22, Nickly Kipkorir, has
a range of responsibilities far
more than many of his age mates
can imagine. When he is not at-
tending lectures, the law student
is training farmers in Nakuru,
learning better ways of growing
watermelon in Thika or attend-
ing to his stevia farm in Bomet
County.
The third-year-student at
Mount Kenya University, Nairobi
campus, knows too well that his
course is demanding and he al-
ways has a pile of books to read.
However, he always feels in-
debted to his passion for agricul-
ture which started in childhood.
Money caught up with him
while on travel to his home
in Kaptebengwet, in Konoin,
Bomet County to check on the
progress of his farm where he
rears Kuroiler chicken, rabbits
and grows stevia.
I liked farming from a ten-
der age and it compelled me
to choose agriculture, my best
subject in high school, he told
Money.
After Form Four, Mr Kipkorir
kept animals and grew vegetables
on his fathers farm. His parents,
Mr and Mrs Vaizun Koskei have
been very supportive in his enter-
prise. They have let him use two
acres of the family land and they
oer labour when necessary.
From his sale of vegetables, he
bought four rabbits which begun
to breed but he would often sell
them due to high demand leaving
only 13. Each attracts Sh3,000.
He then ventured into poultry.
Kuroiler chicken are relatively
cheap to maintain as they are dis-
ease resistant, can survive on free
range and can feed on household
waste other than on commercial
feeds, he said.
Good for eggs and meat
Kuroiler breed is good for both
eggs and meat. It also has a high
demand in Kenya. He hopes to
increase his stock from 50 to
2,000 before he starts selling.
Mr Kipkorir grows stevia in 50-
metre seed bed of which a metre
takes up to 1,000 seedlings while
each seedling sales at between
Sh5 and Sh20. Both companies
and individuals buy the crop from
his home.
Watermelon is my latest ven-
ture. I have hired a 10-acre farm
in Thika which is taking most of
my evenings nowadays. It pays
o well as each acre yields up to
Sh500,000, he said.
Through his business, he has
employed two people to run his
farm. His mother manages it.
From his early breakthrough,
the youth grew popular as farm-
ers from far and wide sought
new farming skills from him, a
service which he oered for free,
a charity that gave birth to his
company. I realised that there
was information gap in the sector
and that most farmers toiled for
meagre returns because of igno-
rance. In 2012, I registered Great
Farm company to help me oer
consultancy, he said.
He uses a blog and social media
platforms to reach out to farmers.
Through the platforms, farmers
send me questions and invite me
to their farms. I oer consultancy
for free but I charge for construc-
tion of greenhouses and tting of
irrigation pumps.
I also link them with vet-
erinary doctors whenever there is
need, he said.
Ms Lydia Lotodo has beneted
from Great Farm. Ms Lotodo ap-
proached the company seeking
tips on what she could plant to
earn better on her small shamba.
They advised me to take up
passion fruits and it has worked
for me. They showed me how to
plant it using climbers. I now earn
thousands of shillings, enough to
pay fees for my children and cater
for other family needs, she said.
Great Farm now has various
divisions: media liaisons, events
organisation and creative agri-
cultural arm. The divisions work
towards the same goal of maxim-
ising farm output, he said.
Innovative ways
One of the innovative ways that
the company has helped farmers
is growing world class vegetables
on banana trunks. For spinach
and kales, holes are drilled using
a knife on horizontally placed
banana trunks, such that there
is 25-centimetre spacing between
plants and three rows per stem.
Loam soil and manure is added
and a seedling is planted in each
hole.
Banana stalks are always
thrown away yet they can be
used as good organic materials
for crops. They retain water and
provide ample growth for plants.
They also take little space, he
said.
And he has handy tips for poul-
try farmers. Over 80 per cent of
farmers in Africa lose their chicks
to predators. But it would take
them (predators) time to attack
prey which is of unusual colour
such as pink, green or red as op-
posed to white, black and brown
as it is usual of chicks, he said.
The minds of predators are
prescribed to specic colours for
their prey. Once coloured dier-
ently, it takes them time to come
to terms and tune their minds to
what that target animal truly is.
This increases chances of sur-
vival for chicks, he said.
To colour chicks, he uses dyes
and the colour fades as the chicks
develop feathers. The method is
recommended for farmers who
practise free range farming.
Knowledge from research
Great Farms media arm dis-
seminates information on the
company as well as gathers
knowledge from research while
event organisation department
sets up expos.
In the last show that we held
in Bomet for instance, one ex-
hibitor would part with between
Sh30,000 and Sh50,000 while
up to up to 20 participants graced
the event. I also get sponsors for
the exhibition. Such are the av-
enues that earn me money to run
the company, cater for the much
travels I make and do research,
he said.
Recently, the entrepreneur
toured Uganda on a benchmark-
ing mission.
I had heard an impressive
poultry keeping story and how
Melinda Gates Foundation is im-
parting the skill on women and
youth groups. I wanted to know
how dierent they do it and the
trip was worthwhile, he said.

Law student
makes tidy sum
in agri-business
I had education covers for my two
young daughters with a reputable
insurance company through an agent
who later didnt respond to my calls/
messages. I had to attend to the insur-
ance on my own. But I did not get the
advice I needed from the customer
service counters. When I asked for tax
relief certicates, I was provided with
incorrect gures and had to pay the
taxman the dierence.
Early this year, I met an agent from
another company who advised me
to close the accounts with the insurer
and open at his company, which I did.
He provided me with surrender forms
for the rst company. The next time
he called me was to tell me that I had
been written a cheque that was ridic-
ulously low. After consulting the com-
pany, they admitted they had wrongly
calculated the surrender amount and
promised to correct the error. I do not
want to lose the amount of money I
am losing and would like to reinstate
the insurance. I have unsuccessfully
tried to contact a senior person to
help and I have not even collected
the corrected cheque. Can you please
advise me on what to do?
- Lydia M., Nairobi..
Sorry, Lydia, about the lousy experi-
ence with your insurance advisers
and, somehow surprisingly, at the
hands of the rst insurance company.
I am perplexed that the insurer could
mishandle you in the manner you say.
I have a few comments to make
arising from your suering. Firstly,
concerning your request to your rst
insurer to provide you with an agent
in place of the one who sold you the
cover, this may probably not be fea-
sible. The reason here is that agents
are remunerated by commission and
chances are that the agent who got
your business may still be receiving
renewal commission that the company
might not transfer to another agent.
So, any other agent being asked to
look after orphaned policies may not
be keen to take on the role unless there
is potential for further sales. Life insur-
ance companies have set up their own
system to service such policies directly
from their oces. It is just unfortunate
that the quality of customer service
from your insurer is wanting at least,
in your case.
Secondly, on your claim that you
could not get to senior sta in this
company, Ill say that you possibly
didnt push hard enough. You would
have to write and send reminders,
phone and sit in the concerned of-
cials oce. Were you assertive
enough? Remember, it is the squeaky
wheel that gets the grease, so if you
are unhappy, squeak away.
I suggest, therefore, that you seek
to meet personally with the decision
makers to discuss your issue including
the possibility of reviving the insurance.
Before you enter the lions den, pre-
pare so that you present your case in a
clear, concise and unemotional manner.
Avoid unnecessary emotion, dont rant
and rave and act like a maniac even
though the insurer has made you feel
like one. But, of course, tell the execu-
tives of the pain and suering their
mistakes have caused you. Be courte-
ously assertive.
Thirdly, regarding your new agent
who advised you to close the accounts
with the rst insurer, I say he was un-
ethical, unprofessional and self-serving.
To tell a person to cancel their current
insurance so as to take up one he is
selling is a violation of the code of con-
duct of professional selling and, more
so, when the cancellation involves an
endowment-type policy that results in
a substantial loss to the policyholder.
Just drop this agent and his proposi-
tion, and concentrate on reviving your
covers with the rst insurer unless
you decide on keeping the current one,
too, if your nances allow.

insurance, write to: isaac@ngaruasso
