Anti-graft team to
be vetted afresh as
MPs skip session
BY NATION REPORTER
All Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission staff
will now be vetted afresh
after MPs yesterday failed
to raise enough numbers
to overturn a recommendation by President Uhuru
Kenyatta.
The President, through a
presidential memorandum,
had asked that the EACC
Act be amended to include
a clause requiring that the
staff be taken through a
mandatory vetting instead
of targeting only two members of the commissions
secretariat.
To overturn the suggestion,
the House was supposed to
raise two-thirds of the total
members (233) but yesterday
was largely deserted when
the presidents propositions
were brought for adoption or
rejection.
Members who had put up
amendments to delete the
proposals contained in the
memorandum were forced
to drop them upon seeing
that they could not raise
the requisite numbers.
The presidents recommendation was to counter a
proposal to kick out EACC
chief executive Halakhe
Waqo and his deputy Michael
Mubea that was proposed
through an amendment
sponsored by Kiminini MP
Chris Wamalwa.
The amendment by Mr
Wamalwa received overwhelming support by the
House but the President
declined to assent to it, instead sending it back with
the memorandum.
The Justice and Legal Af-

fairs Committee chairman,

Mr Samuel Chepkonga,
said vetting should have been
shortened so that the commissions sta were not put
in panic mode for long.
The reason the committee felt that it should be six
months is because we wanted
to hurry up the exercise so
that we do not make the
people at EACC wait for
too long to know whether
they should be removed or
retained. The sta should not
be left in limbo for long, said
Mr Chepkonga yesterday.
He was supported by Mr
Wamalwa, who was forced
to drop the amendment to
delete the Presidents suggestions following the failure to
get the House numbers.
I thank the President for
saying there should be vetting, but saying that should
be done in 12 months is
not good. This is a bit too
long. It should have been
six months so that we nish with it sooner, said Mr
Wamalwa.
The Bill will now be taken
back to the President after
the House adopted it and the
vetting will commence upon
its assent.

House drops Mumias debate

BY NATION REPORTER
MPs from both sides of the
political divide conspired to
stop debate on the collapse of
Mumias Sugar Company.
However, Mumias East MP
Benjamin Washiali, who was
pushing for the report to be
debated yesterday, said he was
disappointed by the manner
in which the issue had been
handled.
The adoption of the report
is going to adequately address
the controversy surrounding

sugar importation from

Uganda which is currently a
hot subject, he said.
Mr Washiali criticised Cord
MPs, saying they were not
genuine in the ght to help
sugarcane farmers.
However, Deputy Leader
of Minority Jakoyo Midiwo
said the MPs had met in the
Government Chief Whips
oce and agreed that controversial subjects should
be removed from the order
paper, and a supplementary
one drafted.

APOLOGY
An article in the August 6 edition of the Daily Nation under
the headline Pastor denies driving crash vehicle, we reported
that Pastor James Nganga was believed to have left the scene
of an accident in a vehicle belonging to Pastor David Muriithi.
It has since been pointed out to us that Pastor Muriithi was
not at the scene of the accident and could, therefore, not have
opened the door for Pastor Nganga.
We take this early opportunity to correct any erroneous impression the publication may have created and apologise to Pastor
Muriithi for any embarrassment the article may have caused.

MPs vow to
stand by Ruto
in chaos suit
BY NATION REPORTER
Over 40 Jubilee coalition lawmakers yesterday rallied behind
Deputy President William Ruto
in the wake of an ICC ruling seen
as a setback in his case.
The International Criminal
Court Trial Chamber ruled in favour of Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda
using recanted evidence from ve
witnesses.
Leader of Majority Aden Duale
said the court is pursuing a political agenda.
In 2010, we said this is a political case. We have been consistent
in our claims. The Trial Chambers
ruling is a demonstration of that
agenda, he said.
Having thrown out the case
against President Uhuru Kenyatta, the strengthening of the
case against Mr Ruto, through a
favourable ruling for the prosecution side, is seen as calculated to
weaken the coalition, said Meru
Senator Kiraitu Murungi, who read
part of the statement.

Case to collapse

He said case would collapse just

like the other four, of the six suits
that were before the court in the
Hague.

Six suspects, only two cases of Mr
Ruto and former radio presenter
Joshua Sang in connection with
the 2007/8 post-election violence
are remaining.
Over 1,000 people were killed
in the violence and thousands of
others were displaced.
The lawmakers vowed to
stand by the DP until his case is
dropped.
Among the people whose cases
were dropped were former ODM
chairman Henry Kosgey, former
Head of the Public Service Francis
Muthaura, former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and President
Kenyatta.
MPs said by accepting unsworn
statements, the judges completely
discounted the importance of credible evidence in criminal trial.

Nganga is the founder of the church.
The source said investigators
believed that Pastor Nganga has
injuries on his neck and right arm.
Investigators also believe that
after the accident, Pastor Nganga
got out of the drivers seat and into
another vehicle belonging to Pastor
David Muriithi, the Senior Pastor of
House of Grace Church in Langata.
The vehicle sped towards Nairobi,
closely followed by another driven by
Inspector of Police Nzuli Nzioka. Mr
Nzioka is reported to have acted as
some kind of unocial bodyguard for
Pastor Nganga. He is also believed
to have been in the company of a man
identied only as Mr Ngige and another unnamed police ocer.
One of the questions being asked is
whether at the time of the accident,
Pastor Nganga was trying to behave
like an important politician on the
road, bullying other motorists with
his motorcade, complete with two

chase cars a black Range Rover

and a Subaru.
Yesterday, the Independent Policing
Oversight Authority said it will take
over investigations against police ofcers who handled the accident.
IPOA will, however, move in only
if Inspector-General of Police Joseph
Boinnet does not act satisfactorily
against ocers found to have broken
the law, according to its chairman
Macharia Njeru.
Mercy Njeri died on July 26 and an
investigation that followed unearthed
a cover-up by ocers, citing them for
forging documents, tampering with
crucial evidence and making false
records in a bid to hide the truth.
Investigators discovered that the
register of seized vehicles had been
forged and an inspection of the red

conspiring to defeat justice.
Mr Ole Tanchu ordered the pastor and his co-accused Inspector
Christopher Nzilu, Inspector Patrick
Baya and Simon Kuria be brought
back to court today at 11am when their
bond application will be heard.
Dressed in a light blue suit with the
long jacket beloved of pastors, the suspect was driven to court shortly after
9am in a police pick-up.
According to the charge sheet, Pastor Nganga, driving a Range Rover
registration number KCD 060Q, drove
dangerously, disregarding all the circumstances including the condition of
the said road and the amount of trac
and caused the death of Ms Njeri.
Ms Njeris husband, Mr Martin
Mbugua Ndungu, survived with
multiple injuries.
Also the charges say that he failed to

report an accident at a nearby police

station within 24 hours.
The third count was that on August
6, at the Trac headquarters, Ruaraka,
Nairobi, he lied to SSP Julius Wanjohi
that he was not the driver of the Range
Rover, therefore stopping the ocer
from taking action against him.
The pastor also faced a joint count
of conspiring to mislead the investigating ocer at Tigoni in order to defeat
the course of justice.
Mr Nganga was arrested by Flying Squad officers in Nairobi on
Wednesday and detained at Gigiri
Police Station.
Mr Baya, the Tigoni Trac Police
Commandant, was charged that on
July 26, he neglected his duties by
willingly failing to conduct proper
investigations into the accident.
Inspector Nzilu was charged with
neglect of duty by concealing the
identity and whereabouts of Pastor
Nganga whom he knew was driving
the vehicle involved in the accident.

Tragedy as school bus hits and runs over two pupils

2012
BY STELLA CHERONO

@stellacherono
scherono@ke.nationmedia.com
On Thursday morning, Bob Wyclie
was feted in school for topping in his
class. The Class Eight pupil attracted
accolades from fellow pupils, teachers
and parents of Unity Primary School
in Umoja, Nairobi making his father,
Kennedy Obiero, proud.
But just ve hours later, the boy
was hit by another schools bus in the
estate as he rode on his bicycle, a few
metres from his home.
Bob, 12, was on the same bicycle
with a playmate, seven-year-old
Dominic Kimani, when they were
hit and run over by Fadhili Junior
School bus.
The two boys were riding together

on a green bicycle at around 4.15pm

and, just when they were about to
pass by the gate to Fadhili School,
they realised that the bus was approaching and so Bob who was
the rider stopped, a witness, Janet
Ododa, said.
She said that when the driver tried
to drive into the school, he hit the
two boys with the right side of the
bus. Onlookers shouted at the driver,
urging him to reverse since he had hit
the two boys.
As the driver was trying to reverse,
he further crushed the boys and
stopped the bus with the younger
boy under one of the wheels. When
he realised what had happened, he ed
the scene leaving the bus, she said.
Onlookers took the boys to Mama
Lucy Hospital with Bob having

an injury on the chest and several

head bruises. Dominic, according
to witnesses, had a broken rib and
was bleeding from the chest and the
stomach.
At that point, Dominic was not
moving but Bob managed to sit but
was writhing in pain. He was crying
and calling his mother, another witness, Enid Achieng, said.
At Mama Lucy, the two boys were
given rst aid and referred to Kenyatta
National Hospital.
Dominic was taken to the hospital rst because he was not in good
shape. I arranged for an ambulance
and, on arriving at the hospital, the
young boy had not been attended to.

Police believe city preacher was

BY ANGIRA ZADOCK

olice now believe that Pastor

James Nganga was behind
the wheel of the vehicle that
killed Mercy Njeri in Limuru on
July 26.
They have also dismissed Mr
Simon Kuria, who presented
himself as the driver of a Range
Rover, registration number KCD
060Q, when it collided head-on
with a Nissan car, registration
number KBZ 709W, at Manguo
in Limuru, Kiambu County.
Ms Njeris husband, who was
driving, was injured in the horric crash.
Police have recommended
that Pastor Nganga of the Neno
Evangelism Centre in Nairobi
be charged with causing death
through dangerous driving, failing to report an accident and
driving a vehicle without valid
insurance.
It is not clear how the police
propose to deal with the monumental conspiracy to conceal the
pastors alleged crime that saw
police ocers mislead Inspector-General Joseph Boinnet that
the pastor was not at the scene of
the accident.
An internal investigation con-

cluded that ocers tampered with

evidence by forging a seized vehicle register and likely uttered
a fake inspection report for the
Range Rover, which they hurriedly
released to the alleged owner.
Pastor Nganga has maintained
that he was innocent, that he was
not at the scene of the accident
and that those linking him with
the accident are fighting his
church. He has prayed for the
early death of all those linking
him to the accident.
Yesterday, Interior Cabinet
Secretary Joseph Nkaissery said

Pastor Ngangas followers packed
the courtroom and those who could
not nd space cheered outside, forcing
the magistrate to warn them.
Some waved placards, one reading:
What God can do, No man can do,
a popular saying in the church.
Administration Police in riot uniform ensured security.
The prosecution, led by Catherine
Mwaniki, requested the court to deny
the accused bail, arguing that apart
from being a ight risk, they are also
likely to interfere with the witness.
Ms Mwaniki said the four were likely
to intimidate, interfere and threaten
witnesses who have implicating evidence and that their security was not
guaranteed.
State Counsel Alloys Kemo said the
matter had generated public interest
and claimed Pastor Ngangas followers would do anything for him.
But the defence lawyers objected,
saying the arguments were speculative.
Mr Ombeta said the accused had
been cooperating with investigators
and would continue to do so, adding
that they were entitled to a cash bail
which is enshrined in the Constitution.
Mr Makokha and Mr Oduk asked
the court to release their clients on
free bond or very reasonable cash bail
since they were unable to raise large
sums of money for bail.
My client has not even paid me.

1997. Under the Customs Union of
the East Africa Community, sugar
from Uganda enjoys full access into
the Kenyan market.
Additionally, being a member of
Comesa, Uganda is entitled to access
the Kenyan market on Comesa treaty
terms, he said.
In responding to O pposition
leaders, who have challenged the
government to drop a deal supposedly signed when President Uhuru
Kenyatta toured Kampala recently,
Mr Mohammed brought with him
representatives of the Kenya National
Federation of Sugar Farmers.
The biggest stakeholder in all
this are our farmers. Our farmers
are aware of some of the issues that
are currently affecting our sugar
industry. Least among the issues
is actually the alleged conversation
around this non-existent deal that is
being talked about. While everybody
is playing around with statements
about what may have happened, the
real stakeholders who have the most
to lose or gain are actually our farmers
and the government commitment to
support that group is demonstrated
by the dialogue we continue to have

The cost of cane production is too

high at 40 per cent while taxes take
up 16 per cent leaving farmers with

nothing to bring home, said Mr Ibrahim, who pleaded with government

to review sugar regulations currently

He said Cords public rallies set to start today over

At the same time, Mr Mudavadi (right) challenged
the government to make
public any deals it signed
with Uganda to end the raging debate over importation
of cheap sugar.
He argued that both the

Let us not politicise sugar issues, warned Mr Kittony.
He said Kenya is a member of
Comesa, the East African Community and it also has tripartite
agreements with other countries
in the region.
Mr Kittony said the nation cannot continue seeking protection for
its sugar market forever. He said
the government should help the

He said no agreement on sugar
imports was signed during a recent
visit by President Uhuru Kenyatta
in Uganda.
We signed a memorandum of
understanding that would allow us
to engage with our counterparts

an interview on Citizen TV on

He said the equipment in local
sugar factories is expensive and
the cost of production is high,
making Kenyan sugar expensive

However, Mr Kittony acknowledged that the chamber is

ayole Police Station is

in the spotlight over the
release of a suspect who
hit and killed a rst year college
student, Ms Agnes Nyambura.
The suspect was a boda boda
rider who was testing his skills
on a neighbours car. He hit
Nyambura and her aunt, Ms
Syphill Muthoni, at 7.30pm on
Friday night as they were walking to their home in Kayoles
Junction area.
The engineering student at
Kiambu Institute of Science
and Technology died on the spot
while her aunt broke her legs.
We were coming back to
the house from the shops. We
saw the car parked outside. Its
headlights were on but it was
stationary. Then suddenly it
moved very fast and hit us, Ms
Muthoni said.
As they lay on the ground, she
said, the driver reversed and hit
Nyambura as she tried to rise.
I survived because I lay on the
ground. My legs were hurting.
The car hit a wall and stopped
and I found myself under it.

On Tuesday and Wednesday,

Nyamburas peers stormed the
police station together with relatives and residents of Junction
area wanting to know why the
culprit was released.
Kayole police chief Ali Nuno
said the suspect, Mr Stephen
Mathenge, was released on a
Sh1,000 cash bail the same
day.
We are still investigating the
circumstances under which he
was released from custody, he
said. The Ocer in charge of the
station, Mr Robert Wabeire, was
summoned for questioning at the
county police headquarters.
Mr Nuno said he had directed
ocer Wabeire to produce the
suspect in court immediately,
as he was to appear in court on
Monday, August 17, but did not.
He said the station had also obtained a warrant of arrest against
the suspect.
The car, registration number
KAY 193G, is at Kayole Police
Station. The case is being handled by the Divisional Criminal
Investigations Oce.
Nyamburas mother, Lucy
Njoki, said her second born
daughter had been on a short
break from college.

Probe starts

BY NATION REPORTER
The National Police Service has
started investigating what caused
discrepancies that were detected
in the ocers May salaries.
National Police spokesman
George Kinoti yesterday admitted that there were discrepancies
but said the matter had nothing
to do with fraud.
Police ocers who spoke to Nation said they were worried that the
discrepancies in the salaries, which
were delayed for a week, could have
been part of a scam.

VERBATIM

A promising life
lost on the road
Kayole OCPD Ali Nuno: The
speculations we have is that
the suspect was erroneously
released, as there were two
people with the same names
in custody.
We have opened an inquiry
le on the conduct of the
OCS and police ocers at
the station at the time.
Nyamburas mother, Lucy
Njoki: My second born
daughter was on a short
break from college. It is
painful to lose my daughter
this way and to imagine that
she may not get justice because the police were casual.

It is painful to lose my daughter this way and to imagine she

may not get justice, she said.

Detected discrepancies

The ocers normally get their

pay slips online through the
Government Human Resource
Information System portal. But
they did not get their May slips
until last week, when the discrepancies were detected.

MPs have refused to allow the

auditor-general to use Sh200
million from the Constituency Development Fund to track how the
money from the fund is spent.
They turned down a proposal by
the auditor to slice o some money
from the fund and instead asked
the oce to look elsewhere.
Their refusal puts the auditors
oce in a dicult position, as it
will not be able to do an audit
without funds.
The lawmakers said the money
was not for funding the audit because it is for projects.

AUDIT | Natonal Assembly members also want to know which rm received the money for supplies

Kinyua told to account for Sh192m

Auditor-general revealed
loss of the money
during purchase of vote
kits between electoral
agency and the Treasury

hief of Sta Joseph Kinyua is

expected to shed light on the
loss of Sh192 million in payment for biometric voter kits, MPs
ruled yesterday.
The maze of transactions that took
place between the Treasury and the
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission came to the fore
during hearing before the National
Assembly Public Accounts Committee

yesterday. The auditor-generals report

had indicated that Sh192 million was
lost during the transaction.
Chief executive Ezra Chiloba said
the commission received Sh6 billion for purchase of Biometric Voter
Registration kits from the Treasury,
but further directives were given to
return the money.
We received the money together
with Authority to incur expenditure
but went on to return the funds, after
which the Treasury went ahead to
make payment to the Canadian
Commercial Corporation for supply
of the kit, said Mr Chiloba.
But Balambala MP Abdikadir Aden
claimed the funds were paid to Safran
Morpho of France, which delivered
the 15,000 kits to the electoral commission.
The PAC chairman, Mr Nicholas
Gumbo, asked why the funds were
returned to the Treasury and why it
paid out the money yet commission

had been authorised to spend.

Mr Kinyua (above) was the Fi-

nance PS at the time and so Mr

Gumbo directed that he appears
before the committee to shed light
on the matter.
Mr Aden further claimed that the
Sh192 million, which the auditor
general said had been lost during
the procurement of the kits, may
have been lost during the irregular
transfer of funds from the Treasury
to the commission and back.

Authorised to spend

Sh6bn

The amount that was paid for the

supply of 15,000 biometric kits to
the electoral commission. Questions
asked about the suppliers identity.

Mr Chiloba defended the electoral

commission, saying it was not party
to the contract, and that the Treasury should give details on which rm
received the money.
Mr Gumbo directed the commission
to provide documents indicating that
the money was sent to its account,
and that the money was transferred
back to Treasury, as well as nancial
statements of the commission during
the period.

CALL FOR REGISTRATION

Members of the National Assembly CDF committee clashed with

ocials from the auditors oce
yesterday when they met to discuss
who should pay for the audit.
Auditor-General Edward Ouko
was represented by his deputy, Ms
Agnes Mita, at the meeting held at
Protection House in Nairobi.
The auditor wants the MPs to
pay about Sh197 million to enable
the oce to carry out the audit in
the constituencies.
The oce does not have enough
money and has been struggling
to audit the national and the 47
county governments.
The funds committee chairman, Mr Moses Lessonet, said
no money would be taken from
the fund.
We wont give you anything.
If you dont have money ask us to
lobby the Treasury, he said.

CONTROVERSY | Muslim leader welcomes decision to conduct scrutiny

Judges fault plan to vet kadhis

Association accuses
board of breaching
constitutional provisions
on the assessment
of judicial ocials

BY NATION REPORTER
MPs will not travel overseas
until they break for recess on
August 27.
National Assembly Speaker
Justin Muturi issued the ban yesterday and said this is to ensure
Bills with a constitutional deadline
are debated on time to save the
lawmakers from being sent home
prematurely.
Mr Muturi expressed fears that
the deadline may not be met unless
the lawmakers forfeit the travels
and concentrate on the matter.

lans to vet kadhis was criticised yesterday by the Kenya

Magistrates and Judges Association.
The organisation said the decision
by the vetting board was a breach of
the Constitution. It said the law
limits the vetting to judges and
magistrates.
The association has given the
Magistrates and Judges Vetting Board
seven days to rescind its decision or
be sued.
In a paid-up advert in the media,
the board asked for information on
59 magistrates and 13 kadhis.
But in a statement read by the associations secretary-general, Mr Bryan
Khaemba, at the Milimani Law Courts
in Nairobi yesterday, he said they were
disturbed by the boards poor appreciation of the Constitution.
Mr Khaemba said the Constitution limits the vetting to judges and
magistrates.
He said the association was not
against the vetting of kadhis per se
but the breach of the Constitution.
Mr Khaemba was with the associations treasurer, Mr Derick Kuto, and
said it was sad that the board, made
up of people who understand the law,
could violate such clear and straightforward constitutional provisions.
This demonstrates that the
board, as is currently constituted, is

Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association secretary-general Bryan Khaemba

(right) addresses journalists at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi yesterday.
With him is the organisations treasurer, Mr Derick Kuto
incompetent to achieve the expected
objectives of vetting, said Mr Khaemba. He said if kadhis heed the call
to be vetted, the outcome would be
illegal and cannot be enforced.
Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims Secretary-General Adan Wachu
supported the association saying the
kadhis role is restricted to individuals
who profess the Islamic faith.
The kadhis administer only three
issues regarding Muslims marriage,
divorce and inheritance. For the board
to seek to vet them alongside other
magistrates is a clear violation of the
law said Mr Wachu.

He added that unlike other Judiciary

ocials, kadhis are only required to
have qualications in Islamic law.
But the Chief Kadhi, Sheikh Ahmed
Muhdhar, welcomed the boards decision.
He said the idea of engaging Muslim leaders in the vetting should not
be seen as a burning issue since the
kadhis also fall under judicial law.
This is something that has been
there. Judges and magistrates have
been vetted. Why should it be an issue
if we (kadhis) are vetted? he said.
Sheikh Muhdhar said since the
main purpose of the board is to en-

The vetting board has also been

criticised by the Law Society of
Kenya over failure to ght corruption by letting judicial ocers who
have questionable character o
the hook.
Society chairman Eric Mutua
said the issues of corruption that
are now rampant in the Judiciary
would not be there if the board
had been very strict.
We had a lot of hope when the
board was created by the Constitution that it would streamline the
Judiciary. However, Kenyans have
been disappointed because nothing has changed.
sure that fairness is being practised
in the selection of judges and kadhis,
no one should take the whole idea
negatively.

Bills earmarked for passage

cant be ready by then since there
are only seven calendar days left
for Parliament, Mr Muturi said in
a communication to the House.
There are fears that a member
of the public can move to court
and demand that Parliament be
dissolved, for failing to adhere to
the constitutional timelines.
MPs have blamed the delays on
some government ministries saying they were deliberately slow in
processing the Bills.
The government had made the
lawmakers appear reluctant to pass
the Bills yet they were submitted
late to Parliament, Deputy Minority Leader Jakoyo Midiwo (Gem,
ODM) said.
Some bills that had to be processed by the two Houses had also
to be subjected to a mediation committee after the lawmakers failed to
arrive at a common position.
This week, ODM reconsidered
its position to oppose the extension of the deadline for fear the
House may be declared unconstitutional and they would all be
sent home.

Man in Sh2.8m baby

surgery case arrested
BY NATION REPORTER
Police have arrested a man
alleged to have crowd-sourced
Sh2.82 million for a babys
surgery overseas but failed to
release the money.
Mr Benson Wanjau was arrested yesterday morning at
ABC Place on Waiyaki Way,
Nairobi, by detectives from
Gigiri Police Station.
Gigiri police division head
Rashid Mohammed said Mr
Wanjau was being held at
Muthangari Police Station and
would be handed over to the
Directorate of Criminal Investigations to explain why he did
not hand over the money.
We received complaints
from several people and we had
been looking for him. The baby
is said to have been in need of
Sh700,000 but he did not hand
over any money to her family,
Mr Rashid said.
He added that Mr Wanjau,
who is the director and founder
of Hope Foundation, a nongovernmental organisation, is
being investigated for obtain-

ing money by pretence.

The arrest comes just two
days after Muranga County
Police Commandant Naomi
Mochami said she had received
complaints from the babys
family and requested that Mr
Wanjaus bank account be frozen until he is investigated.

Facebook and Twitter

Mr Wanjau has been raising

funds for Baby Fidelis through
Facebook and Twitter, where
he asked well-wishers to send
their contributions to a certain
M-Pesa number.
The baby, he said in one
of the posts, was born with
an enlarged forehead, called
frontal encephalocela , and
requires money for surgery
in Canada.
Two days before his arrest,

Facebook account Wanjau

enyas tourism yesterday received a

massive boost after
the UN tourism agency endorsed the country as a safe
destination.
UN World Tourism Organisation secretary-general Taleb

yesterday to attend the East
African Tourism Development
Forum and said he had condence in the governments
eorts to make the country
secure for Kenyans and visitors.
I am confident of the
Kenyan destination. I can
even bring my family tomorrow, he said.
Mr Rifai said terrorism was
a global phenomenon and that
France, US and Thailand have
all suered terrorist attacks.
Terrorism is not a Kenyan
challenge, but a worldwide
issue. It is not fair to say
that terrorism is a Kenyan
problem, Mr Rifai said.
Speaking to journalists
shortly after arriving at the
Moi International Airport,
Mombasa, Mr Rifai said he

was attending the East Africa

Tourism development forum
to show support for Kenya.
He said he was glad that the
government had addressed
security concerns raised by
international tourist source
markets.
I am impressed by the resilience of the Kenya Coast
people. In less than six
months tourism has started
to pick up, he said.
At the same time, Mr Rifai
called on Kenyan tourism
investors not to over-depend
on European markets to revive
tourism.
Instead, he emphasised the
need for Kenya to embrace
regional tourism by wooing
holidaymakers from neighbouring countries.
I know the European
market is important for your
tourism, but dont put all your
eggs in one basket, he said.

Three men yesterday denied

possessing 700 tablets of a narcotic drug worth Sh84,000. Mr
David Kamau, Mr Hassan Miraji
and Mr Juma Miraji were arrested
when the drug, Rohypnol, was
found in their house in Majengo
on Wednesday, the court heard.
Principal Magistrate Diana Mochache released them on a bond of
Sh100,000 each with one surety
of similar amount. The hearing
was set for October 7.

He went on: In times of

trouble, it is your neighbours
who can cushion your industry against low European
visitors, he explained.
Mr Rifai cited Seychelles,
which has made regional
tourism a priority thereby
attracting tourists from
South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana
and even Kenya.
African countries need to
come together to share experiences and ideas on how they
can support tourism for the
industry to grow, he said.
On all-inclusive hotels, the
secretary-general said he was
against the concept since it
denies local Kenyans money
from tourists.

MOMBASA

Drug dealing suspects

granted Sh10m bond
Three men were yesterday
charged with tracking drugs
worth Sh440,700. Mr Martin
Murithi, Mr Georey Kanyingi
and Mr Joseph Gathunga allegedly used a truck belonging to
Lamu West MP Julius Ndegwa.
He has admitted owning the truck
but disowned its cargo. The three
denied the charges and were freed
on a Sh10 million bond each. The
case will be heard October 16.

All-inclusive holidays

He said there is a need for

all-inclusive hotel owners to
allow their guests to go out
for lunch or dinner or buy
items from local traders for
them to see the benets of
tourism.
It is unfair for tourists to
go to a destination only to
benefit all-inclusive hotels.
Tourists should be allowed to
buy food or drinks anywhere
they want, he said.
Restricting tourists to the
all-inclusive hotels, he argued,
makes them a target of attackers as the locals feel deprived
of tourism benets.
He noted that such hotels
also deprive holidaymakers
of an opportunity to interact
with locals.

Populist law on HELB

loans very retrogressive

he National Assembly this week passed a law

that shields unemployed university graduates from paying interest on loans they were
given to pursue their studies. At face value, this law
is public spirited as it seeks to shield the vulnerable
from harsh penalties.
In reality, however, it is not progressive. Unemployment is not a permanent status and cannot be
the basis for legislation. At any rate, loan repayment is a personal contract between two parties
and can always be renegotiated.
Ideally, the House should have addressed itself to
the bigger question: Is the Higher Education Loans
Board capitalised suciently to provide loans
and bursaries to all deserving students in tertiary
institutions? How well-equipped is it to recover the
loans so that the increasing number of university
students can benet from the revolving fund?
These two issues are critical due to recent developments in higher education. A few weeks ago,
the loans board declared that it would not support
about half of university qualiers because it never
got sucient funding from the Exchequer.
To this extent, it was critical that the National
Assembly pursue the matter and nd ways through
which additional funding could be allocated to support the needy students.
Secondly, in raising the question about the
boards ability to collect loans from past beneciary, the point being made is that a more sustainable
funding mechanism is required to support university students. Giving out the money without collecting amounts to throwing away taxpayers money
and denying others the opportunity to benet.
Currently, the board is facing nancial diculties, thus, it should be supported to collect all debts
rather than limit it through populist legislation.

S. Sudan in a shambles

outh Sudan is quickly degenerating into prolonged civil war as the main protagonists fail
to agree on a peace deal they were supposed
to have signed this week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Although the rebel leader, Dr Riek Machar, signed
the deal, President Silva Kiir did not, arguing that
he needed more time to study it and only promising
to do so in September.
In the meantime, heavy ghting has been reported in the country, occasioning massive losses.
The latest reports indicate that the countrys
leadership is becoming ruthless as it targets foreign
investments there. Kenya and Uganda, in particular,
will feel deeply oended by the harsh treatment
of their nationals given the fact that the two have
provided safe haven to Sudanese leaders through
the dicult moments of their history.
Kenya, in particular, helped midwife the arbitration process that led to the peace accord in 2005
and paved the way for the creation of South Sudan
as an independent state a few years later.
Pressure must be brought to bear on President
Kiir to sign the peace deal. He and Dr Machar must
be pushed to end the armed conict and allow free
movement of goods and people.

TOO MANY PIRANHAS | Mutuma Mathiu

Kenya has become dicult to invest

in: Its culture criminalises enterprise
I

was seated on the

roadside one day feeling
tired and discouraged.
I was trying to do a small
project. Everyone thought
I had the money and a plan
how to get it done. Truth is
I was broke and my usual
optimism and condence
had deserted me.
I had had a humiliating
phone conversation with no
less than Mr Frank Ireri, the
managing director of Housing Finance about a small
loan I didnt qualify for. So I
sat there to catch my breath,
unsure whether to break
into tears or get in my car
and drive o, never to come
back. An old couple, walking
past, paused to marvel at
the equipment and workers
milling around. Its moving very fast, the woman
observed.
It must be these people
who have stolen from the
government. They have
too much money, the man
said with an airy sagacity.
Red hot Meru temper red
through my blood like a
volcano. Thankfully, there
was no pyroclastic explosion. I sat calmly and smiled
peacefully at them. My mind
is good at managing my
emotions.
In Kenya, people who do
not have the courage to risk
their money, the discipline
to deny themselves in order
to save, or the capacity for
hard work, have created a
culture that criminalises
enterprise and investment.
If you are successful,

you must have stolen. Yes,

the country is awash with
thieves. But they are not
rich or successful. They are
merely experiencing a temporary abundance of cash.
I can tell you for free that
Kenya is the most dicult
society to invest in and to
get an investment protably
working. On top of an entire
system of local and national
government packed with
piranhas nibbling at your
every extremity, you have
a culture that is hostile to
success. That culture has
becoming institutionalised
in our toxic, corrosive, tribalised politics.
And I have in mind the
call to boycott Brookside
products by seven Orange
Democratic Party MPs on
Wednesday. To me this
is the shallowest, most
malicious, backward and
thoughtless position ever
occupied by a political party.
First of all, business
should never be subordinated to politics. It is the
work of Kenyans which pays
for politics. Taxes pay the
salaries of MPs calling for

Brookside is a
successful business
which deserves the
support of leaders
because it is creating
jobs for the people

the boycott of products.

Without business there
would be no politics.
In my own professional
life, I have suered this
boycott madness twice: During the referendum in 2010
driven by the church, and
in the lead up to the 2007
election canvassed by ODM.
It is a tactic employed by
people with a tendency to
go below the belt when they
dont have an honest case.
Secondly, Brookside is a
successful business which
deserves the support of
leaders because it is creating jobs for the people and
wealth for the nation. Its
success has nothing do with
Jubilee politics or Ugandan
sugar it is already one of
the biggest dairies on the
continent.
I remember meeting the
man responsible for that
success a couple of years
back, Mr Muhoho Kenyatta,
and he was a solid fellow
and a very hard working
man. He built the company
and though I am sure the
Kenyatta name and wealth
didnt do much harm, he
went through the pain that
every Kenyan entrepreneur
goes through.
|Why should the success
created through hard work
over decades be destroyed
because of a week in Jubilee
politics?
How many businessmen did President Barack
Obama bring on his recent
visit to Kenya? How many
did David Cameron take

to Asia? Are Americans

and the British calling for
the boycott of the business
people in those delegations?
Power is business by other
means.
Thirdly, the factual basis
for that boycott is tenuous,
at best. The Kenyan sugar
industry is dead. It wasnt
killed by Ugandan imports.
A report was prepared and
tabled in the House explaining the problems at Mumias
Sugar Company and recommending action against
those suspected of having
precipitated the crisis. What
did some of those local
MPs, maybe now advancing the boycott theory, do?
They tore up that report
and ensured no one was
punished.
We should analyse, diagnose and x the problems of
the sugar industry especially the corruption and
mismanagement therein
and x it, not for politics,
but for the sake of the people of Western whose livelihoods have been destroyed.
The problem is not Uganda
or Brookside.
Finally, you dont need
a deal to sell goods in the
common market. Exports
support our jobs, our currency and our economy. If
you think you can export
without importing, you
shouldnt be calling for boycotts. You should be taking
your head for examination.

THE CUTTING EDGE

Public Editors Notebook

BY THE WATCHMAN

BY PETER MWAURA

Beware journalists who solicit from you

facilitation in the course of their work
L

ast week, a group of

readers took Nation
Media Group to task for
not knowing journalists who
write for them as some are
fraudsters. The readers were
referring to one of the most
naked con jobs in journalism
in recent weeks. The fraudster
worked as a correspondent for
the Daily Nation and Business
Daily. But he was discontinued, for ethical reasons, two
years before the current fraud
came to light.
In 2013, Business Daily published a story that he wrote
about a woman in Ruai who
was making lots of money
farming on a half-acre plot.
She had 20 dairy cows that
produced more than 500
litres of milk daily, three
greenhouses, a sh pond, a
homestead, a borehole and a
biogas unit.
Many readers wanted to
visit the farm. They continued
to send messages to the dismissed journalist long after
the story was published.
Sarah, for example, who
lives in Juja, wrote to him on
April 16, 2014, saying she
came across the article he had
written concerning the farmer
in Ruai and she would like to

visit her farm.

It was around this time, it
appears, that the journalist
embarked on a condence
trick in which he would collect Sh1,000 from every
reader who wanted to visit the
farm. He responded by giving
Sarah a number to call, saying our next quarterly visit
to the farm was scheduled
for August 1, 2015. So far, 36
farmers and potential farmers
have registered. We shall converge at Nation Centre so that
we take a bus to the farm...
Charges are Sh1,000 only, he
said.
But John Nzioka, one of the
would-be visitors, exposed
the con job in an e-mail message to the journalist on July
16, 2015, which he copied to
other would-be visitors, Business Daily Managing Editor
Ochieng Rapuro and myself.
He protested that the journalists constant promises
to arrange the farm visit had
been postponed twice for one
reason or another.
I have to keep on calling
you many times and the
only thing you do is send
sms with dierent numbers
at night than the one you
indicated in your invite, he

wrote. I believe this is not the

kind of journalists we want in
Kenya especially if you still
work for NMG as you purported to be.
Then the would-be visitors turned around to blame
NMG for not exercising due
diligence in their recruitment
of correspondents. They were
right up to a point. In any
business Know Your Customer
(KYC) the requirement for
due diligence in verifying the
identity of your customers
is a good rule of thumb.
KYC helps in protecting the
reputation of a business by
preventing fraud. In banking,
where it is an ocial rule, it
helps banks from being used
for money laundering, for example.
The conned readers said as
far as they knew, the journalist was working for NMG and
he still uses your name. In
an exchange with one Kristine
on August 12, 2015, Mr Rapuro
retorted: Isnt this ridiculous?
How could you send money to
a journalist to facilitate your
own travel?
He went on: Lets just
agree that you did not do your
diligence duties well, including calling Nation editors.

Our numbers, including email

addresses, are in every NMG
publicationM-pesa fraudsters use Safaricoms name
all the time to con people out
of money on the pretext that
they have won some money in
a rae. Do you blame Safaricom for anyone who falls for
such a cheap trick?
Kristine: I agree, maybe
I should have been more
diligent in this matter. But
tell me, how were we to do
so? We simply asked you to
be also more diligent and if
some of these people were dismissed and are still using your
name, why not shame them
publicly? Make us aware.
Rapuro: I agree with your
position that NMG needs to
know who works for it out
there. That is exactly what we
did and threw this guy out of
our stable for ethical reasons.
I wonder what more we could
do other than cutting ties with
him.
Lesson for our readers: Beware of journalists who ask for
facilitation.

WHY WOMEN STARE AT THEIR SISTERS. Have

you ever wondered why women tend to look at fellow women and not at men? poses Churchill Amatha,
adding that he notices this when walking around with
a woman and she suddenly loses concentration. He realises she has been staring at a female passer-by from
head to toe. I thought it makes more sense to look
at the opposite sex. Who can explain what motivates
this? Or is it just a habit that comes about unknowingly? His contact is amatha@hotmail.co.uk.
MIFFED BY SAFARICOM. Safaricom subscriber
Patrick Mbataru says the mobile phone network coverage around Muigai-Inn/Turacco/Kenyatta Road, on Nairobis northern outskirts is so poor that one has to run
around, kneel, jump, or climb onto anything to nd it.
He adds: I am writing this at 5am and the network is
on and o. Safaricom often blames structures and terrain but the network is poor even on rooftops. What
is the point of trumpeting 4G technology while even
1G does not work in some places around Nairobi?
ITS ALL A FACADE. All the praise for the Machakos Level 5 Hospital following the installation of hired
equipment by the National Government does not tell
the whole story, says Jacob Kyallo. The reality dawns
on a patient after passing through the gate, notes Kyallo, adding: You will queue the whole day to get that
rare chance to be seen by an overworked doctor. As
if that is not bad enough, you will be told the labs are
not functioning. After that, you will get a prescription
to buy drugs from a chemist to administer at home.

THE FUTURES HERE | J. Kibaru-Mbae & S. Charterjee

Take advantage of demographic dividend

K

enya is at the cusp of a demographic dividend that could

change the countrys fortunes in
the rst half of the 21st century, but only
if the country takes the right steps towards investing in its youth.
Millions of people in East Asia were
lifted out of poverty by lowering the
dependency ratio and individuals and
families were able to make savings which
translated into investment that boosted
economic growth in countries such as
Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan
and Hong Kong.
Combined with robust policies in
education, health, employment and empowerment of its women, they were able
to capitalise on their demographic window during the period 1965 to 1990.
Today, young people form two-thirds
of Kenyas population, many of them
unemployed. In fact, the ratio of youth
unemployment to overall adult unemployment stands at 46 per cent, according to
the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing
Census.
At the same time, there are eight dependants for every 10 working Kenyans,
meaning that the average worker will
very often have little left to save or invest
for growth. Kenyas low Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) per capita of $1,246 has
contributed to increased family poverty
and economic inequalities.
Our ability to seize the opportunities
available for our young population will

depend on how we address the key challenges plaguing Kenyas education, health
and vocational training.
If Kenya does not act, the demographic dividend risks could become a
demographic disaster, since armies of
unemployed, frustrated and unemployable youth fall prey to the blandishments
spread by extremists and fanatic groups.
Kenya is at a demographic transformation stage. Fertility levels are declining
gradually and Kenyans are living longer.
There is reason for optimism that Kenya
can benet from a demographic dividend
within 15 to 20 years. It is estimated that
its working age population will grow to 73
per cent by 2050, bolstering the countrys
GDP per capita 12 times higher than the
present, with nearly 90 per cent of the
working age in employment.

Window of opportunity

But this is only a window of opportunity, which shuts in 29 years, on average.

Theres nothing pre-ordained about a
youth bulge producing a growth dividend.
The demographic dividend can be realised through a number of steps. First,
improvements in the health and nutrition
of girls, women and children, will contribute to a reduction in the number of
children born to each family.
It calls for programmes to increase
access to family planning to prevent unintended pregnancies leading to fewer
births. Reductions in fertility coupled

with child and maternal mortality declines

are all associated with a greater power
for women to make decisions about how
many children they want and how to raise
them. As they stop spending their most
productive years bearing and raising children, they can enter the workforce and
contribute to economic production.
The second step is investment in the
education of youth. Appropriate skills
will enable youth to participate in the
economy and provide needed labour. In
addition, studies have shown that girls
education, particularly at the secondary
school level, and empowerment, will delay
early marriage and slow adolescent fertility. Cultural, social and economic barriers
that hinder empowerment of girls and
women should be addressed.
Women are half of Kenyas population;
if they are given the right tools and community support, they will not only become
nancially independent, but also the engines that drive Kenyas growth.
The third step is to have an economic
environment where educated youth can
nd well-paid jobs. Economic policies
must target job creation in areas that have
potential for longer term returns, including technical and vocational education,
agriculture and technology.

Dr Kibaru-Mbae is the director-general,

National Council for Population and Development. while Siddharth Chatterjee is the
UNFPA Kenya Representative.

WHY SUPPORT KQ: There are compelling reasons why Kenya Airways deserves support, says David
Musyoka. Says he: If KQ does well, we all benet. We
are among the few countries with national carriers. Being our ag-carrier, it lifts up our sovereignty and stirs
a sense of national pride and patriotism. If KQ does
well, it gives a good impression to all those ying in it.
More importantly, KQ has employed 4,000 sta, and
the airlines success has a ripple eect on related sectors, including the Kenya Airports Authority.
DANGER LOOMS. The situation at the open-air
market at Mulot trading centre in Bomet County is
a disaster waiting to happen, warns David Motari,
alarmed by the danger posed to the traders. The market, he adds, is located alongside the busy Narok-Kaplong highway, with some traders displaying their wares
on the edge of the road oblivious of the danger that
lurks. A driver could easily lose control and plough into
the crowd. The market should be relocated to a safer
place to avert disaster.
WHATS IN A NAME? Muratina as the name of the
road connecting Nairobis Pumwani Hospital to Mlango
Kubwa, is simply ridiculous, remarks Billy Mito. Billy,
the communication executive at Greater Life Concern
Ministry, a church-run free alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre located on the road, says directing clients
to the centre usually elicits humour. Since the road
is now under construction a name change is needed,
as newly-borns and teetotalers tread this path to their
new lives. Muratina is a traditional Kikuyu beer. His
contact is billmito@yahoo.com.

To the editor
For security, use the
services of beach boys
Initially, you may nd the beach
boys at the Coast irritating, especially if you are green and undecided
on what you want to do to make
your visit memorable. Those boys
found along our beaches have lots
of information that up-country folk
can use. The majority have grown
up at the coast and opted to earn
a living from oering various services, selling coral collections and
guiding visitors. They know what
dangerous water species and plants
to avoid. They oer such services
for a modest fee. Had those services
been sought by the school boys who
drowned recently, the tragedy would
have been averted.
JOE MUSYOKI, Kitengela.

Admissions body doing

a thoroughly shoddy job
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service is
doing students great harm by admitting them for degree courses they
never wanted. Previously, students
used to apply for admission before
examination results were out but
this system failed because the results
often did not meet the requirement
standard for degree courses sought.
This led to a change of system
where students were required to
apply after the results were out to
enable them choose courses that reected their clusters. But the agency
is now doing a haphazard job. How
can it admit students and then give
them the option of either accepting
or rejecting the courses oered?
EVANS MONGARE, Keroka.

Keep o the market

Opposition leaders started by
rejecting sugar imports from
Uganda. Now they are telling
Kenyans not to consume milk
from Brookside Dairy. Politicians
should keep out of the market lest
Kenyans face shortages of basic
commodities that they need in
their day-to-day lives.
MONDI PHILCOLLINS, Kakamega.

This is no brotherhood
I think it is meaningless for President Uhuru Kenyatta to tell us that
Mr Raila Odinga is his brother. I
do not think this is a big deal at all.
There is a man in the Bible, Cain,
who killed his brother Abel after differences over property. The current
sugar wrangles have left me wondering if the two are really brothers.

SHORT TAKES

TALKING POINT

Kenya has no choice but to improve

on its dismal global security rating

here is a think tank in

American known as Fund
for Peace and every year,
it gives an international index of
fragile states. The top listed countries are the most fragile while the
least rated are the most stable. The
rating for 2014 has 15 African countries in the list of the top 20.
The non-African countries in the
top 20 are Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Haiti
and Afghanistan. Kenya is ranked
18 while South Sudan is number
one followed by Somalia. Tanzania
is ranked number 65. Going by the
list, Kenya looks like a juvenile
grouped with hardcore criminals
since most of these states are either
at war or they have failed.
A fragile state has several attributes. Common indicators include a state whose central government is not responsive to security
threats such as ethnic clashes,
banditry and other forms of quasipolitical crimes. Fragile states are
characterised by rampant homicide
with no conclusive judicial process
for the culprits. This also includes
a state that is not in full control of
some of its territory, and weapons
proliferation is rampant. As for
Kenyas case, we may focus on
northern Kenya where cattle rustling and banditry are rampant.
Kenya started appearing in the
top 20 list from 2009 and this could
be due to the political violence experienced after the 2007 elections.
Up to date, we have not been able
to move out of top 20 most fragile
states. There are critical questions
as to why Kenya, known for its well
trained human resource, a regional

Tana River residents ee inter-clan violence: Symptoms of a fragile state?

economic base, a solid education
system, vibrant tourism and democratic ideals with regular elections,
should be on the list.
There are factors that contribute
to the fragile states index. These
factors include poor or non-existence of medical support, and
citizens taking the law into their
own hands due to lack of trust in
governance. A classic example is
how the public deals with criminals
through mob justice. Widespread
urban crime, deterioration of public
service and corruption equally contribute to the high-prolife index.
Common occurrences of public
rioting is a contributing factor.
Before venturing into a country,
foreign investors do their own due

diligence, focusing on politics,

economy and security. Once on the
list of fragile states and the most
corrupt states in the world, foreign
investors and tourists get scared.
Runaway corruption in the public
service, perpetual ethnic violence,
social impunity, environmental
degradation, rural-urban migration, urban crime, deterioration
of our cities into semi-slums, and
refugees inow all add up to Kenyas inclusion in the index.
The government and citizens
have the responsibility of restoring
Kenyas image as one of the most
stable and secure countries in Africa. This will hasten the countrys
economic performance.
TWALIB MBARAK, Nairobi.

Government must act to stem alarming trend on abortions

Statistics released this week on the state of abortions in the country are grim. An estimated 375,000
pregnancies are aborted annually. An approximate
2,600 women die annually from abortion-related complications. These gures could be higher as researchers rely heavily on the reported cases.
We have a very progressive and pro-life Constitution that prohibits abortion. It only gives leeway if, in
the opinion of a trained health professional, there is a
need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of
the mother is in danger. Abortion, therefore, is illegal
if procured outside the connes of this Constitution.
It is a sad state of aairs that even with the clarity
of the law, some women still procure abortions. To

add to the complexity of the issue, most go to backstreet operators who either have not mastered their
skills, have no knowledge at all, or are just out to gamble with peoples lives.
These quacks operate in dingy locations and most
lack the requisite materials for the procedure. This explains why many women suer post-abortion complications that claim many lives. Some go as far as using
drug concoctions to achieve the desired results.
Both men and women should also be responsible if
we are going to see an end to this trend. The younger
generation needs guidance on sexuality because they
contribute a great deal to the grim statistics.
KOFFI BARRY, Homa Bay.

GIVE THEM TITLES: Across the

Nyali Bridge in Mombasa, there are
several villages like Shauri Yako,
Soweto, Kisumu Ndogo, Mnazi Moja
and Kidogobasi where the politics
of title deeds has taken centre stage
since and even before the death of
former Minister Emmanuel Karisa
Maitha, who had promised to assist
residents acquire them. These people are still squatters. Their houses
have been numbered, meetings have
been held, and they have been listed,
but nothing done. No word about
the titles has come out. But strange
men have been turning up claiming
ownership of this and that piece of
land on which the occupants have
lived for more than 20 years. This is
creating tension. Without documents
to prove their case, there is great
danger that the squatters will soon
be displaced. The government must
speed up the issuance of title deeds
to prevent violence.
VERONICA ONJORO, Mombasa.
THE WOES OF YOUTH: The feature story on the quarter life crisis
by Abuta Ageto was a must-read for
every Kenyan youth as well as their
parents. With the current state of affairs, the struggles of young people
today is not the same as what their
parents went through 20 years ago.
Issues of joblessness, drug abuse,
crime, pornography, exploitation
by conmen, are just some of the
experiences they go through. All in
all, entrepreneurship remains the
only remedy to their problems. That
aside, modern youths are notoriously
arrogant, extravagant and promiscuous. Society needs to support them
especially now that they are being
lured by terrorists or organised criminals to join them.
VICTOR WACHIRA, Nairobi.
GIVE US A BREAK: Politicians
should give us a break on the sugar
issue. They are idle, which is why
they are engaging in hollow rhetoric,
emotional outbursts and insults,
just to gain political mileage. Where
have they been before the sugar sector slid to where it is today? Was
this caused by sugar from Uganda?
I advise sober Kenyans to get the
facts from technocrats like Joash
Wamangoli, the chairman of Nzoia
Sugar Company. Sugar imports from
Uganda have been going on in line
with the East Africa Community
protocol. We only need to ensure
that this protocol is not abused by
greedy cartels to exploit citizens.
PETER MBURU, Nairobi.

Varsity female
students to get

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Female students joining universities will be trained on reproductive
health from next year.
Speaking on the sidelines of the
ongoing University Academic Sta
Union national delegates conference in Mombasa, Women Caucus
secretary June Mwajuma said
women scholars are consulting
experts on plans to launch a reproductive health knowledge pool
programme for all universities.
First year students are often
shocked by the newfound freedom
at universities. Some of them experience a one-on-one interaction
with men for the rst time, Ms
Mwajuma said yesterday.

Free condoms

EVANS HABIL | NATION

A Catholic priest blessed a young worshipper at St.

Marys School in Nairobi yesterday during celebrations to mark the Silver Jubilee of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops Commission.

Through the programme, she

said, female students would be
provided with free contraceptives
such as female condoms.
She said they would also persuade counties to offer female
students jobs during vacations to
shield them from prostitution.
She noted that despite the
increasing number of female students admitted to universities, the
gains would eventually be watered
down if they are unable to manage
their reproductive health.
Ms Mwajuma said Unicef had
shown interest in funding the
programme.

plan, governors urge Treasury
Governors have asked

review the proposed online
procurement system for
counties. The county chiefs
said the system, in its

tenders. The system, as
it is, would allow people

even though we support the plan, we are calling
for a review, the Council of Governors Finance

to increase the quota for teachers
training in the northeastern, to set
up primary teachers training centres
in the counties and to allocate grants
for in-service training.
Mr Saleh promised to deliver the
grievances to President Uhuru. He
said the government is doing everything possible to protect Kenyans.
He said as much as the government
is trying to provide security, the local
communities need to give information
to help smoke out terrorists.
Terrorism is a global problem.
We are doing everything to make
sure teachers are safe. Local solutions for the education crises must
also be found, said Mr Saleh.

Traders ordered to close shops in crackdown on brothels

BY MUCHIRI GITONGA
Laikipia county ocials have given
eight traders 14 days to close their
premises in Nanyuki Town on suspicion that they are brothels.
Laikipia East Sub-County administrator Alexander Mwangi said the
brothels were disguised as massage
parlours.
We have received complaints from
curio shop owners near the British

Shock as man
visiting in-laws
is stabbed to
death in village

army barracks, on the Nanyuki-Doldol

highway, that you are running brothels disguised as massage parlours,
Mr Mwangi said in a notice to the
traders.
Mr Mwangi told the Nation that
eight out of the 140 stalls near the
barracks were being used for the illegal business. He said curio traders
had marched to his oce to urge him
to take action against the owners of
the eight stalls.

The aected traders have, however, denied that they are using their
premises as brothels.

Drastic action

They criticised the county government for taking drastic action before
conducting investigations.
The curio traders who are complaining about our businesses are just
jealous of us because many soldiers
come to our shops for massage and

haircuts, one of the business people

told the Nation.
In the notice, dated August 11, Mr
Mwangi said the traders structures
are illegal as the county government
had not approved them.
He told the traders to report to
his oce to conrm that they have
complied with the order.
Mr Mwangi also asked the police
and county ocers to enforce the
order.

27

Age of Mr Osman Mohamed, the victim

in self-defence.
The information he gave to our
ocers investigating the incident
is that the victim started the ght
after picking a quarrel with him and
during the ght, he stabbed the deceased with a knife he was carrying
as he tried to protect himself, said
Mr Leina.
However, the theory does not add
up and police were working to establish the motive of the killing as
the deceased was a stranger in the
village, the police boss said.
The deceased was a stranger in
the village and that he could pick
a quarrel with a resident yet alone
at a path does not add up.
We want to investigate this
matter further. We believe there
is more information concerning
this incident, said Mr Leina, in
an interview with journalists.
One of the angles being explored
by investigators is the possibility
that the suspected killer may have
had a relationship with the young
woman and was not happy with
the marriage.
There might be an issue of
love gone sour or failed friendship
within the suspect and the wife of
the deceased.
That is just part of the investigations we are carrying out. We want
to get more information about this
attack .Several people will be interrogated to establish a clear motive
for the killing, said Mr Leina.
The body was taken to Coast
General Hospital Mortuary in Mombasa County for a postmortem as
investigations continue.

HEALTH CRISIS

Trans Nzoia >

Nakuru | County governments lack knowledge of running human resource in sector

Doctors want oversight agency set up

Medics say an agency
that will handle their
issues will end the
crisis in healthcare
BY BENARD OGEMBO
@benogeh
BOgembo@ke.nationmedia.com

octors have called for the

formation of a commission
to end the crisis in the health

sector.
They said the health service commission would manage the human
resource. This, according to the Kenya
Medical Practitioners and Dentist
Union (KMPDU), would ensure quality services and equity among health
workers in the 47 counties.
The union ocials yesterday said
most counties have no knowledge of
managing the human resource in the
health sector. They said some health
workers were resigning due to salary
delays, non-payment of allowances,
lack of promotions and harassment

Mombasa >

Nurses call
o strike
after deal

Once this (streamlining)

is done, there would be no
need for health workers to
seek transfers
KMPDU National Chairman
Samuel Oroko

by county chiefs.
KMPDU National Chairman Samuel Oroko said the commission would
deal with issues such as payment of
salaries, promotions, licensing and
transfers.
Health workers are professionals
and the creation of a body to handle
their issues will clean up the mess in
the sector, said Dr Oroko. He spoke
in Nakuru on Wednesday.
The team would also address underfunding in the sector, as well as deal
with training of health sta, career
progression and discipline.

Nyeri |

On Tuesday, the Council of Governors clashed with the National

Assemblys Health Committee over
the state of services oered by public
hospitals in Kenya.
The lawmakers said the quality of
health services had deteriorated but
the council maintained there had been
an improvement after devolution.
The country has witnessed a
series of strikes by health workers
complaining about promotions and
delayed salaries. Many are yet to
receive their July pay.
Nakuru County is the hardest hit,

with the health workers having gone

on strike seven times since devolution started.
However, Bomet Governor Isaac
Ruto told the Health Committee that
the perennial problems in the sector
were due to issues emanating from
the National Treasury.
KMPDUs secretary-general for the
South Rift region, Dr Oruko Sitima,
blamed the mess on lack of quality
management by the devolved units.
He warned that there would be
more problems if regional governments continued to mismanage
the human resource.
The ocial said streamlining the
sector would stop doctors from moving from one county to another.
Once this (streamlining) is done,
there would be no need for health
workers to seek transfers, for better
deals, said Dr Oroko.
Under the centralised system, the
majority of doctors preferred to work
in Nairobi and surrounding counties,
including Kiambu. This enabled them
to remain on the government payroll
while earning extra income working
in private hospitals.

No pay, no work! Vow striking nurses

BY WINNIE ATIENO
Nurses in Mombasa County
have struck a deal with Governor
Hassan Joho to avert a strike over
promotions.
Governor Joho yesterday promised to elevate more than 400
nurses, who are due for promotions, by October.
The governor called us personally, we met on Friday at his oce
boardroom. We had a gentlemans
agreement but we want a written
agreement, said Kenya National
Union of Nurses Mombasa branch
secretary Peter Maroko.
He went on: We are waiting to
see if he will full his promises.
Automatically, we will strike if he
fails to honour his promises.
The nurses had threatened to
go on strike if their demands over
house allowances and promotions
were not addressed.

Address grievances

Meanwhile, more than 500

doctors at the Coast will meet
this weekend to discuss their next
course of action if the governor fails
to address their grievances.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and
Dentists Union national executive
council member Chibanzi Hamisi
Mwachonda said their demands
regarding promotions, house and
hardship allowances had not been
addressed.
Hardship allowance is for doctors who come from hardship areas
but we are meeting on Sunday to
nd a way forward and agree on
what to do concerning our grievances, he said.
At the same time County Assembly committee on Health Services
has stated that the Coast General
Hospital requires 1,478 health workers, from the current 791.

Workers
strike over
delay of
July pay
BY PHILIP BWAYO
Public health services in Trans
Nzoia County were yesterday paralysed after workers went on strike to
demand unpaid July salaries.
Governor Patrick Khaemba
had assured the workers that the
money had been sent to their bank
accounts.
Patients, who were caught up in
the strike, were left stranded with
some opting to seek services in private hospitals such as Cherangany
Nursing Home.
I brought my young daughter
here earlier to have a checkup
on her broken arm but there is
nobody to attend to us because
of the strike, Mr David Masika
told Nation at the Kitale District
Hospital.
Health workers, who joined
other county government sta in
the strike, said they would only
resume duty when they receive
their pay.
No health worker is going to
report on duty without the pay.
Governors are taking us for a ride
yet they spend money on useless
issues, said Kenya National Union
of Nurses Secretary-General Seth
Panyako
Mr Panyako further accused the
county government of failing to hire
more health workers and hence
over-working the few sta.

Nurses from Karatina Hospital in Nyeri County protest yesterday on a Karatina Town street as their strike entered the fourth
day. The health workers have vowed to stay put until all their demands are met even as the county authorities yesterday assured them that they would receive their July salaries and allowances today.

Siaya >

Two die at hospital as health sta strike

BY NELCON ODHIAMBO
Two people died yesterday at the
Siaya County Referral Hospital after
health workers went on strike over
the delay in the payment of their
July salaries.
The sta joined their counterparts
from the Union of Kenya Civil Servants (UKCS) and county government
workers who were protesting on the
streets of Siaya Town.
The strike paralysed operations
at the hospital and Governor Cornel
Rasangas oces for the better part
of the day.
The striking workers camped at the
county boss oces.

The hospitals medical superintendent, Dr Wilfred Basweti, attributed the

deaths to the job boycott.
He said only medical interns were
attending to patients.
Most patients are not getting medical attention, especially those in the
out-patient wing. There are 50 adults
and 14 children in the wards, said
Dr Basweti.
The protesters were led by UKCS
Siaya branch Secretary Godfrey Ooko;
Kenya National Union of Nurses
Siaya Chairman Sylvester Nganda;
Kenya County Government Union
of Workers Secretary Tom Opiyo;
and Kenya Medical Practitioners,
Pharmacists and Dentists Union

Chairman Siaya Evans Oguti.

We are having diculties in providing for our families as well as paying
rent. We want our pay immediately
since we are tired of the constant
promises made by the county government, said Mr Nganda.
Mr Opiyo said most workers had
not been promoted while successful
ones were yet to receive higher pay
three years after their elevation.
The workers were addressed by
the chief ocer of nance, Mr Sijeni
Maroko, who assured them that they
would receive their salaries this morning. He said the Treasury sent the
money to a wrong account, a mistake
he said would be corrected.

The Trans Nzoia county government is among the four counties

that have refused to employ nurses
who were on the Economic Stimulus Programme to enhance health
care, he said.
The county workers also criticised what they termed disparities
in sta salaries.
You cannot expect workers to
keep oering services when they
are faced with nancial constraints,
said Kenya Union of Civil Servants
county executive secretary Charles
Atieli.
Mr Atieli called on the salaries
commission to ensure the pay of
county sta is harmonised to ensure fairness.
These salaries must be harmonised because it beats logic that
some are earning more than their
colleagues even when they are in
the same job group, he said.
Governor Khaemba said he had
asked the county treasury to send
funds to the accounts of all workers
of the county government to settle
their July salaries. We are going
to wire funds to their accounts by
evening, he said.

National Authority for the
Campaign Against Alcohol
and Drug Abuse (Nacada)
Chairman John Mututho
said they are reissuing licences to outlets that had
been closed down.
He said yesterday the
licences were revoked during a recent crackdown on
killer brews.
In as much as it is the
governors business to
generate revenue, it is also
our business to ght against

said Mr Mututho.
He spoke when he met

government representatives

The Nacada boss (below)
said liquor laws, commonly
known as the Mututho laws
are national, and are above
the county ones.
He urged administrators
to respect the peoples
will.
If residents of a particular area reject liquor outlets,
the local administration has
no business issuing licenses
for them, he said.
At the same time, Nacada
has given a clean bill of

Senators have backed Members

of the County Assemblies renewed
push to control their own cash.
The ward representatives have
accused the National Treasury of
reneging on a Senate deal reached
last month.
The reps cannot access their monies directly from the Central Bank of
Kenya (CBK) and must go through
the governors.
The County Assemblies Forum
yesterday said the Treasury has not
sent a circular to the bank as agreed
in a Senate committee meeting.
The Senate Finance Committee
chairman Billow Kerrow ( Mandera
Senator) supported the MCAs.
I am not aware if the Treasury has

not acted as agreed. If it has not sent

the circular as claimed by the ward
reps, it would be very wrong.
We had agreed that MCAs quest
for nancial independence is non-negotiable, Mr Kerrow told the Nation
in an interview yesterday.
The forums Secretary-General
Albert Kochei said the deal was
reached on July 29, during a meeting between the Treasury, the
Commission on Revenue Allocation, the Controller of Budget, and
the Central Bank.
It is now three weeks and we have
not seen any progress. Assemblies
would no longer beg governors for
their money. The Treasury should
act fast, said Mr Kochei in communication that was sent to assemblies
yesterday.

Farmers under the Ahero and

West Kano rice schemes have
received tractors worth Sh200
million to improve production
of the crop. The 23 tractors were
part of the 69 donated by the
Government of Japan. While
receiving the tractors yesterday,
Governor Jack Ranguma said
they would help increase rice
production from last years 1.5
million tonnes. He said this
would help to partly meet the
countrys consumption of six
million tonnes. We need to
improve output in the sector.
Rice farming is a source of
livelihood for many families in
western Kenya and beyond, said
Mr Ranguma.

RIYADH

BUJUMBURA, Thursday

urundian President Pierre

Nkurunziza warned rebels that
they would be crushed by God
after being sworn in for a controversial
third term following weeks of protests
and a failed coup against him.
Nkurunziza thanked God for his win
in elections last month polls the
UN says were not free or fair after
taking the oath of oce in a surprise
ceremony in Bujumbura announced
only hours before.
The victory we have achieved is
of all Burundians, those who elected
us, and those who did not, Nkurunziza said.
His third term has been condemned
as unconstitutional by the opposition
and provoked months of protests.
There has been a string of killings
since his reelection, including of his
top security chief, assassinated in a
rocket attack last month.
But Nkurunziza, an ex-rebel turned
born-again Christian who believes he
is in power by divine choice, warned

those who have chosen the path that

leads nowhere, who attack and ght
their country will be stopped by the
hand of God.
They will be scattered like our
thrown into the air as the God of
heaven is a witness. The Burundians
will be at peace, he said.
No foreign head of state was
present, but several African countries, as well as China and Russia,
sent their ambassadors. European
Union nations and the US sent lower
ranking ocials.
In his oath, Nkurunziza swore
loyalty to the constitution and to
dedicate all my forces to the defence
of the best interests of the nation, to
assure national unity and the cohesion of the Burundian people, social
peace and justice.
But Nkurunziza also said he would
review possible changes to a key
clause in the constitution which
requires ministers to come from a
party with at least ve per cent of the
national vote to allow the formation
of a unity government.

Amid opposition boycotts, some

lawmakers are technically on independent lists, making them ineligible
to join the government.
But the same constitution also
enshrines a fundamental block of
the deal that ended the 1993-2006
civil war, the strict ethnic quotas in
power between the majority Hutu
and the Tutsi.
Nkurunziza won over 69 per cent of
the vote in the disputed presidential
poll last month.
But the UN observer mission said
the vote was not inclusive, free and
credible and was held in an environment of profound mistrust.
Over 180,000 Burundians have
fled the country fearing violence,
according to the UN refugee agency,
but Nkurunziza asked them to return
home.
Those who have ed the country
have done so because of rumours,
he said.
We call upon Burundian refugees
to return to their homeland to participate in building their country.

Pierre Nkurunziza

Burundis constitution only allows

a president to be elected twice for
a total of 10 years in power but
before these polls Nkurunziza argued
he had only been directly elected by
the people once.
Nkurunziza, a 51-year-old former
sports teacher, was a rebel leader
during the east African countrys 13year civil war, which killed at least
300,000 people.

community said a third term violated

Somalia MPs insist on impeaching president despite protests

MOGADISHU, Thursday
Somali lawmakers said
they are determined to hold a
vote of no condence to oust
the president, dismissing international warnings it would
hamper peace eorts.
This motion is not aimed
at destruction, but rather correction, said MP Abdi Barre

Yusuf, who accuses the president of corruption.

A motion of no condence
in President Hassan Sheikh
Mohamoud was tabled early
this week. While it is not clear
how many support it, lawmakers say there are around 100
MPs behind it.
However, two-thirds of the
275 member house would
have to back the vote to oust

the president.
International backers
have warned against the
move, including the United
Nations,
neighbouring
countries and the 22,000strong African Union force
known as Amisom which is
battling Al-Qaeda affiliate,
Al-Shabaab.
In a statement, they said
there was deep concern that

the motion to impeach the

president would impede
progress on Somalias peace
and state building goals.
The joint statement was
also signed by East Africas
regional bloc, the InterGovernmental Authority on
Development, as well as the
European Union, Britain and
the United States.
Al-Shabaab control large

parts of the rural south and

attacks at will in Mogadishu.
The vote must be tabled in
parliament by the speaker.
Abdirahman Hosh Jibril,

intervened with the countrys

institutions. (AFP)

The Islamic State group

middle of the night, the latest

One policemen suffered

DEAL | Blame-game continues

S.Sudan deal
in tatters as
war resumes
JUBA, Thursday

eace efforts in South

Sudan were in tatters
as rivals blamed each
other for attacks and the
army claimed that the rebels
had broken their own peace
deal hours after signing.
The government of the
worlds youngest nation has
refused to ink the power-sharing deal, despite the threat
of sanctions and mounting
international frustration at
the failure to seal a peace
accord.
It prompted the African
Union to warn that the rivals
would bring disaster on themselves and the region if no deal
was signed.
The 20-month-long war
shows no sign of stopping.
There was a heavy attack
by the rebels on Wednesday,
but we fought back in selfdefence and repulsed them,
army spokesman Philip Aguer
said, describing battles in the
Manyo district of the northeastern oil-producing Upper
Nile state.
Rebels accused the government of wanting a military
solution, and said they were
attacked near the small but
strategic southern town of
Pageri on Tuesday, on the
main road south from Juba towards the Ugandan border.
Rebel general James Koang
Chuol said his troops then
seized Pageri, claiming they
now controlled the highway.
Aguer, however, said the

government was in control

of Pageri.
He dismissed the rebel
claims as lies, saying while
two government soldiers
were killed in ghting, they
were attacked by unknown
gunmen raiding cattle.
Reports of ghting could
not be independently veried.
Rebel chief Riek Machar
signed the document in Ethiopia but President Salva Kiir
said he would return to the
table in September to nalise
the accord. (AFP)

No security zones,
Mali Touareg tell UN
BAMAKO, Thursday
Malis main Tuareg rebel
group has urged the United
Nations to lift all the security
zones set up in the countrys
north in response to deadly
clashes between rival groups
that have threatened to unravel a peace deal.
Three days of fighting
between pro-government
Tuareg militants and Tuareg
rebels from the Coordination
of Azawad Movements (CMA)
prompted UN peacekeepers
to install a 20-kilometre safe
zone around the town of Kidal
to protect civilians.
The worst clashes took
place on Monday as loyalist
fighters from the Platform
coalition seized control of
Anes, about 120 kilometres
south of the CMA stronghold
of Kidal.
In a statement, the CMA

asked the UN mission in

Mali (Minusma) to immediately remove all the security
zones established and let the
dierent parties settle their
dierences.
The group said security
zones had been established
in a number of northern
towns, although Minusmas
announcement only mentioned the one around Kidal.
The Platform alliance said
15 people were killed in the recent clashes, while a Minusma
security source said the unrest
had left at least 10 dead.
The Platform and CMA
groups are signatories to a
deal that was nalised in June
with the aim of ending years
of uprisings the Tuareg.
An uprising by the nomadic
people in 2012 allowed AlQaeda-linked militants to
seize Malis desert north for
nearly 10 months. (AFP)

TRIAL | Super minister loses appeal

Karim Wades
six-year jail
term upheld
DAKAR, Thursday
Senegals supreme court has
upheld a corruption conviction
and six-year jail term against
Karim Wade, the son of former
president Abdoulaye Wade.
A former super minister
with several portfolios in his fathers government, Karim was
convicted in March for amassing an ill-gotten fortune in a
deeply divisive case that has
led to opposition protests.
The supreme court rejected
an appeal by Wade to overturn the conviction in which
he was also ned more than
$230 million.
His lawyers arguments that
the anti-corruption tribunal
that convicted him was biased
and complaints about its composition and jurisdiction over
a former minister, were ruled
unfounded by the court.
Karim was charged in 2013
with corruption after his fathers stunning election defeat
to Macky Sall the previous year,
prompting the former ruling
Senegalese Democratic Party
(PDS) and his father to accuse
the government of conducting
a witch hunt.
He was initially accused of
amassing about one billion
euros but this amount was
later whittled down to 178

million euros.
Shortly before his conviction,
the 47-year-old was chosen by
the PDS as its candidate for
the next presidential election,
expected sometime between
2017 and 2019, depending on
a pending mandate reform.
After having exhausted all
legal avenues, the Senegalese
Democratic Party will use
political avenues to settle an
eminently political case, said
party spokesman Babacar
Gaye.

Third term bid

The younger Wade was

an extremely divisive gure
in Senegalese politics in the
run-up to the countrys last
election when his fathers bid
to seek a third term sparked
deadly riots.
Many believed Abdoulaye
Wade, in power from 20002012, was trying to line him
up for succession.
Karim was often criticised
for his mismanagement of
public finances and was
nicknamed the minister of
heaven and earth after his
father placed him in charge of
international cooperation, air
transport, infrastructure and
energy portfolios.
He was disparaged for living
in Europe for years. (AFP)

June told her it was the best

day ever for Reeva when news
broke that the 28-year-old Pistorius would not be released as
expected on Friday after just

fouryear-civil
war

BEIRUT, Thursday

uman Rights Watch has

urged the United Nations
to impose an arms embargo on the Syrian Government
after air strikes on a rebel town
near the capital killed more than
100 people.
The New York-based group
said the Sunday attack on Douma
showed the governments appalling disregard for civilians.
The series of strikes, several of
which hit a crowded marketplace
in the eastern Ghouta region town,
killed mostly civilians.
This latest carnage is another
reminder if any was still needed
of the urgent need for the Security Council to act on its previous
resolutions and take steps to stop
indiscriminate attacks, HRW deputy Middle East Director Nadim
Houry said.
The Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, a Britain-based
monitor, said 117 people had been
killed.
That was up from a previously
reported gure of 96 because of
people who died from injuries
sustained in the strikes.
Foreign Minister Walid Muallem
defended the attacks in comments
to an Egyptian television station
published on Thursday by Syrias

feat terrorism, he said.
But many of the terrorists use civilians as human shields, so what is
claimed about massacres in Douma
or elsewhere is fabricated.
The incident was among the
deadliest government assaults
in the conflict, which began in
March 2011.
It came almost two years after a
chemical weapons attack on eastern Ghouta that the US said killed
1,400 people.
The international community
blamed Syria for that attack, though
it denied responsibility.
HRW noted that Douma, as well

as other parts of the rebel bastion

of eastern Ghouta, are regularly
targeted in regime air strikes that
disproportionately kill civilians.
The group also criticised rebels
for ring indiscriminately at civilians in nearby government-held
territory, including Damascus.
HRW said the Security Coun-

1,400
The number of people killed two
years ago in a chemical attack,
according to the US

cil was failing to enforce its own

resolutions calling for an end to
attacks on civilians and the indiscriminate use of weapons in
crowded places.
It urged the UN to monitor such
attacks, attribute responsibility and
sanction those to blame.
How many more lives will be
lost before the Security Council
enforces its own words? Houry
asked.
Meanwhile, representatives of
the Syrian domestic opposition
tolerated by Damascus will be in
Moscow for talks on Sunday as
Russia makes a fresh diplomatic
push to end the conict.
The delegation led by Reconciliation Minister Ali Haidar, who
hails from the opposition is
expected to meet with Russian
deputy foreign minister Mikhail
Bogdanov on Monday.
Contacts for the settlement of
the Syrian conict are continuing,
foreign ministry spokeswoman
Maria Zakharova said.
The Syrian visit comes as Russia

Uganda and Kenya this month

both countries will thrash out

pipeline will consume
commissioning before Tullow
starts pumping its rst oil two
years later.
Kenya has agreed to take the
risk of Ugandas conditions on

the oil pipeline but this will only

be determined by a detailed design on the actual construction
of the line called the Front End
Engineering Design (FEED).
Uganda also wants Kenya to
guarantee security and commence the construction of the
pipeline without delays.
According to Mr Daniel Kiptoo, petroleum legal advisor for
the Cabinet secretary for Energy
and Petroleum, Kenya really
pleaded with Uganda to settle
on the northern route.
Government is ready to face
challenges that come with Ugandas conditions. We are, however,
guaranteed that the pipeline will

be a great benet to our northern

counties, said Mr Kiptoo.
Talks at the upcoming summit will provide details on which
designer will be awarded the tender for the FEED and in what
proportions the nances for the
pipeline will be shared.
President Kenyatta yesterday urged Japanese companies
attending the meeting; Toyota
Tsusho, Toyo Construction,
Rohto Pharmaceutical, Sakai
Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi
Corporation, Mizuho Bank and
Sumitomo Corporation among
others, to keep investing in
Kenya as lucrative infrastructure
projects are planned.

Bad loans see StanChart prot dip by 36 per cent

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Standard Chartered Bank posted a 36 per cent
decline in net prot in the rst half of this year
driven by non-performing loans.
The lenders earnings after tax stood at Sh3.9
billion in the first six months of 2015, down
from Sh6.1 billion recorded in a similar period
in 2014.
The jump in non-performing loans saw the
lender increase provision for bad debt to Sh1.29
billion up from Sh857 million set aside in the half

of last year.
We have taken various risk-mitigating actions
through 2014 and into 2015 and we have been
largely successful. One large account, however,
deteriorated in Q1 2015 and we had to take a
lumpy impairment charge in March 2015 which
has increased the impairment charge compared to
the same period last year and this has impacted
our bottom line, chief executive ocer Lamin
Manjang, said in a statement yesterday.
Loans and advances to customers increased
marginally by 0.4 per cent to Sh123.3 billion
from Sh122.7 billion in the period under review.

Net interest income remained unchanged at Sh8.7

billion.
Operating expenses rose by 10 per cent to Sh5.3
billion from Sh4.8 billion in the period under review. Non-interest income declined by 31 per cent
to Sh3.4 billion from Sh4.9 billion. In the period
under review, NPLs declined by 55 per cent to
Sh6 billion from Sh13.3 billion.
We have taken decisive actions to de-risk our
portfolio and whilst this has resulted in a material
drag to our income, it has improved the overall
quality of the portfolio and risk prole for the
business, Mr Manjang said.

The respective county

government shall legislate
on the establishment of
board of trustees
Bill
shall be equivalent to 20 per cent
of the national governments share.
Provided that the amount allocated
.............shall not exceed twice the
amount allocated to the county
government by the National Assembly in the nancial year under
consideration, the Bill says.
Residents in these counties will
also have their share to be used to
fund projects and oer services,
and will be managed by a trustee
on their behalf. The amount should
not, however, exceed a quarter of
that due to the county government
in consultation with the local community.
The respective county government shall legislate on the
establishment of board of trustees
and prudent utilisation of the funds
received for the benet of present
and future generations.
A Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority will be established
to oversee the activities in the sector that is expected to contribute
signicantly to the economy in a
few years.
The local community share
shall be equivalent to 5 per cent
of the National governments
share, it says.

Blame game on
dominance law
takes new turn
Authority blames
A-Gs oce for
delay in submitting
proposals to
Parliament
BY LILIAN OCHIENG
@LilianMerab
laochieng@ke.nationmedia.com

he Communications Authority is now blaming the

Attorney-Generals oce
for delays in submission of the
regulations on dominance to Parliament, awaiting to mend ties
with competitions regulator over
how to approach the issue.
Speaking to the Media yesterday, CA Director- General
Francis Wangusi said the regulator handed the proposals to the
A-G before debate and adoption
but this has not happened.
The regulations were to be
out in Parliament by end of June
this year, maybe they have not
been listed as urgent issues, said

Mr Wangusi.
We will not wait till the regulations are sent to Parliament;
we will go ahead and conduct
a study to guide us on how to
apply dominance.
Mr Wangusi said if CA chooses
not to collaborate with Competitions Authority of Kenya (CAK)
on dominance, the attorney
general will not compel them
otherwise.
This comes after Attorney
General Githu Muigai in a letter to ICT Cabinet Secretary
Fred Matiangi dated July 9,
2015, told the communications
authority to agree with CAK on
how to approach the regulations
on dominance.
Mr Muigai said the regulations
were drafted without an input
from his oce or CAK as per
the agreed procedure.
Accordingly, I advise that
the ministry withdraws the
regulations from the National
Assembly and subject them to
discussions in all aspects as contemplated by the MoU (between
CA and CAK), said Mr Muigai

in the letter.
Yesterday Mr Wangusi said he
will not allow CAK to regulate
the market on his behalf. The
only thing that will apply is
if Parliament takes away our
power as a regulator through a
legal framework.
CA has set a one and a half
year timeline to ocially apply
the Fair Competition and Equality of Treatment regulations
2015. Currently the process of

contracting a consultant at a
Sh30 million fee is underway
to enable the regulations to be
delivered in a fair manner to
consumers.
Through the study, we will
identify who has specic power
in the market, after the study, the
consultant will share his report
with us then we will share it with
stakeholders who will play a part
in setting the nal regulations,

Kenya Tea Development Agency

plans to construct more hydropower plants at a cost of Sh4.8
billion to meet electricity demand
by some of its factories.
The four will cumulatively generate 10.9MW of energy with the
surplus sold to the government.
Speaking during a ground breaking event at the North Mathioya
site in central Kenya, Kenya Tea
Development Agency Chief Executive Ocer, Mr Lerionka Tiampati,
said it is keen on ensuring that its
processors have access to alternative energy to lower operation
costs.
Energy costs account for about
30 per cent of the operation costs in
tea factories with electricity alone
accounting for 17 per cent. With
the new hydro-plants, the factory
is set to cut operation costs and additionally earn money from selling
excess power, Mr Tiampati said in
a statement.
The plants will be located in lower
Nyamindi (Kirinyaga County),
north Mathioya (Muranga County)
and in Iraru and South Mara both
in Meru County.
In 2012, the tea management
agency announced plans to build
10 small hydro-power plants with
a cumulative capacity of 20MW by
2015, but the projects have fallen
behind schedule.

Secretary Henry Rotich.
The Council of Governors
said it will use of e-procurement across all counties to

and system issues have held
back disbursement of money
to suppliers.

modalities of tackling the
challenges that have come
up in the implementation of
the system. We are here today

e-procurement, deliberate on
how to enhance implementation of this system and address
the emerging challenges that
may face e-procurement implementation process in the
counties, he said.
The meeting follows the

The system is expected to
give senior county ocials
including governors better
control of procurement.
Mr Rotich said IFMIS
has been designed to ensure
that public procurement of
goods and services is done
fairly, equitably, transparently, competitively and in a
cost-eective manner by all

CALL FOR CONSULTANCY

Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) was created by Act of Parliament in 1965. It is auxiliary to
Central and County governments, but maintains an autonomous status which allows it to act at
all times in accordance with the Fundamental Principles of Red Cross Red Crescent Movement
(RCM). The vision of KRCS today is to be the most effective, most trusted and self-sustaining
humanitarian organization in Kenya. Its mission is to work with vigour and compassion through
its networks and with communities to prevent and alleviate human suffering and save the lives
of the most vulnerable. KRCS has capacity in both emergency and developmental programming
(e.g. health, Water and Sanitation, resilience) at both national and field levels. It has a network
of over 70,000 volunteers across the country, supported by over 600 staff with 64 branches
spread across 47 counties in Kenya.
The Kenya Red Cross Society in partnership with British Red Cross Society (including ECHO
and DFID), is implementing a Disaster Management Project designed to strengthen KRCS
disaster preparedness and response capacity in order to reduce the impact of disasters on
affected populations in Kenya. It includes strengthening and institutionalization of Cash Transfer
Programming (CTP) which involves capacity assessment to implement CTP and development
of CTP systems.
Consultancy: Capacity Assessment of Kenya Red Cross Society and potential payment
mechanism service providers (including markets) to deliver Cash Transfer Programmes
at scale during emergencies
The Kenya Red Cross Society is seeking a research consultant to lead a capacity assessment
that will consider both KRCS and potential payment mechanism services providers. The
assignment will involve conducting a pre-crisis market assessment as well. The overall purpose
is to conduct a comprehensive capacity assessment to:

Determine the extent to which KRCS (both national and county levels) is cash ready
and has the capacity to assess markets and financial service providers, design and
implement CTP to respond to the needs to people affected by different types of
disasters.
Identify any changes to systems and procedures which will be needed for to ensure
KRCS compliance with any regulatory requirements and strengthen the application of
recognized good practice in KRCSs CTP programming.

In relation to KRCS, the capacity assessment will:

Review the KRCS policies and procedures that support cash and voucher transfer
programming.
Review KRCS systems and procedures (Financial, Logistical, Monitoring and Evaluation
and Human Resources) required to implement CTP

In relation to the payment mechanism payment service provider, the assessment will involve;

Mapping the existing cash payment options in all KRCS operational areas and explore
payment options(including new technology) with a view to assembling information
about their viability and adoption prospects in KRCS operational contexts(this includes
consolidating experiences and learning from agencies operating in Kenya).
Building a portfolio of available pay options; their set up costs, pros and cons and
feasibility in KRCS operational areas.
Conducting an in-depth assessment of payment mechanism service providers,
assessing their Audit and Compliance Measures; Systems Capacity and Agent Network
(with a breakdown by region); Reporting Documentation.
Undertaking a review the contractual arrangements of potential payment mechanism
service providers

The Consultant will need to execute the services within one and a half months (45 days).

sain Bolt comes to the world

championships in Beijing caught
in the crosshairs of controversial
rival Justin Gatlin in what promises to be

seen in a long time.
Bolt has dominated sprinting over the

same Birds Nest stadium that will stage
the worlds between August 22-30.
The towering Jamaican went on to
claim an unprecedented second treble
at the London Games in 2012 and has
won every world sprint and relay title on
oer, bar a hiccup in the 100m in the 2011
Daegu worlds when he was disqualied
after a false start.

the plan. It does help the condence, he
said of his successful return to the track
in London ahead of Beijing. I have
been putting in the work and I can
see it is coming out on the track. It
denitely looks good.
On 100m times recorded
in 2015, Bolt is now ranked
number six, Gatlin topping
the list with a personal best
of 9.74sec set in Doha in
May, having also clocked
9.75 twice and 9.78.
Gatlin cuts a controversial gure on the track
scene, readily admitting that
a four-year doping ban served
between 2006-10 after a positive
test for testosterone had been both
a gift and a curse.
The Florida-based sprinter has
since hit the peak of his form at
the age of 33 and has established
himself as rm favourite in both
the 100 and 200m on the back of an
unbeaten streak of 27 races dating back
to August 2013.
With Bolts early-season injury concerns and the loaded schedule of races
to be run in the Chinese capital, the
American is condent of adding to a
medal haul that includes 2004 Olympic
100m gold, 2005 world sprint double
golds, 2012 world 60m indoor gold,
London Olympic 100m bronze and
Moscow world silver.

As athletics gears up for the world championships in Beijing, a sport torpedoed by
explosive allegations of widespread doping
will be desperately hoping to avoid further
scandal.
After winning the vote to become the

IAAF on Wednesday, Sebastian Coe (left)

as a declaration of war.

cheating and that more than 50 Olympic

and world gold medals during that period
could be tainted by drug use.
The allegations by the Sunday Times
and German broadcaster ARD triggered
lurid headlines likening athletics to cycling,
whose dark history of doping scandals
culminated in disgraced American Lance
Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour
de France titles. There is a zero tolerance
to abuse of doping in my sport, said Coe.
I will maintain that to the very highest
level of vigilance. As the vultures circle
athletics before the world championships,
the spectre of doping will thrust intense
demands on the sports new order, as well

as its established heroes. None more so

than Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt, whose
rivalry with tracks pantomime villain Justin
Gatlin in the 100 metres represents, to
many, a battle between light and dark.
Amid the steady drip-drip of doping
controversies in recent years, both Coe
and his rival for the IAAF presidency,
Sergey Bubka, promised a crackdown on
drug cheats as they bid to replace Lamine Diack. But the pressure on Bolt will
be immense, with the six-times Olympic
champion one of the most tested athletes in sport billed as the saviour of a
sport in danger of slipping into a moral
abyss. (AFP)

Protest hits out at Big Three takeover

Woods chasing playo spot

Dozens of demonstrators gathered outside The Oval ahead of

the start of the fth Ashes Test between England and Australia
yesterday in protest against the way in which world cricket is now
run. The protest was initiated by Sam Collins and Jarrod Kimber,
the co-directors of Death of a Gentleman. Their documentary
attacks what they see as the maladministration of the
International Cricket Council since India, England and Australia
eectively took over the global governing body last year.

Tiger Woods will attempt to bounce back from his latest

Major disappointment yesterday when he tees o at the
Wyndham Championship hoping for an unlikely victory
to catapult him into the Fedex Cup playos.
The fallen world number one missed the cut at last
weeks PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, the third
time this year he has failed to go beyond the halfway
stage at a Major tournament.

Top seeded siblings Ismail Changawa

and Shufaa Changawa yesterday beat Burundian third seed Sada Nahimana and
Kenyas Fazal Mohamed in the mixed
doubles quarter-nals of the Britam Kenya
Open Tennis Championships.
They won 6-4, 6-2 to set up a tantalising semi-nal encounter with sixth seeds
Paige Mbugua and Ibrahim Yego.
Yego and Mbugua fended o strong opposition from Sheil Kotecha and his sister
Sneha Kotecha in a close knit last-eight
match that required a tie breaker in the
rst set. Ismail Changawa, who is also the
tournaments defending champion, told
Daily Nation Sport that the match had not
been as dicult as he had anticipated,
but he will still give his best in todays
semi-nals.
I knew we would win, but somehow
I expected Sada (Nahimana) and Fazal
(Mohammed) to present a much tougher
challenge. They are very good players and
they really wanted to win the tournament
this year but today they just didnt play to
their best, he said. Changawa also carried
the day in the mens doubles where he
and his Kenyan partner Fazal swept away
Zambian seventh seed Kombe Mabo and
Hector Sando 7-6, 6-2.
Chasing maiden title
The duo will now face Ethiopias Abdalla
Nedim and Ibrahim Yego in todays seminal. It is going to be tough but we have
worked hard to get here. I have a very able
partner who makes me believe we can go
all the way, Yego, who is eyeing his maiden
Kenya Open title, said.
A cracking encounter is in the ong
in the ladies semi-nals where national
juniors champion Stephanie Mbaya will
come up against United Kingdom-based
Nikita Dawda. Eighth seed Dawda, who
is making a comeback to the tournament
after a ve-year hiatus, remains unbeaten
in this tournament and is slavering at the
prospects of meeting the highly rated Shufaa Changawa in the nal.
But Changawa will have to overcome opposition from Burundian Sada Nahimana
in the other semi-nal match, to make it to
the nal. In the mens semi-nals, Ismail
Changawa will come up against Nigerian
top seed David Oringa in the singles category, while Zambias Edgar Kazembe will
face Kenyas Fazal Mohammed in the other

of adding the All Africa Girls
Championship honours to its
collection of titles when the home
team takes on opponents from Nigeria,
Zambia, Zimbabwe and Uganda in the
inaugural event at the par-71 Nyali Golf
Club from today.
Handicap-wise, the Kenyan team is
the strongest, although both Zimbabwe
and Zambia also boast few single-gure
handicap golfers.
Looking at the line-up of the other
countries, we have a great chance of
clinching the Girls Championship.
Our girls have been playing serious
and competitive events over the past
one month such as the Gilberson and
Page, and our own Junior Matchplay
Championship, said Christina Andersen who is the team manager.
Andersen, who also captained the
national ladies team that retained the
Gilberson and Page trophy in Zambia,
said the course was well prepared and

the greens looking great.

Save for Sarah Khanyereri who is
playing o handicap 10, the rest of the
squad are playing o between six and
two. Handicap two Naomi Wafula is
the teams star.
All the teams featured in the ocial
practice round yesterday before the
opening ceremony presided over by
Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho.
The greens are a bit fast but I think
we can handle them, said 15-year-old
Kellie Gachaga, the youngest player
in the Kenyan team who is currently
playing o handicap six.
We have had good rounds of practice
and we are all set to take on the other
teams, said Wafula, who added that
she was looking forward to meeting
Zambian and Zimbabwean girls again.
The format for the girls is stroke play,
with the best three scores counting towards the team aggregate.
Zambias team coach, professional
Melissa Nawa who has played in Kenya
many times, said the course was ne
but the greens very fast.
Her younger sister Tina Nawa, playing o handicap four, is one of the top
players in the Zambian line-up. Also
standing a good chance to win is the
Kenyan boys team that will play in
the Tri-Nations tournament featuring Kenya, Zimbabwe and Nigeria.

to 3pm. Pipi and Raid Commission
Chairman Dennis Burnett have found a
challenging route which they believe will
test the teams navigational skills.
The event will feature leading competitors in cars, motorbikes, quads and
buggies. A total of 40 entries including
car class champion Gray Cullen, his
bikes counterpart Rose Field, teenage
speedster Tejas Hirani in the Rage and
Shazar Anwar are expected.
The former driver/navigator duo of
Kirit Rajput and Ravi Soni will swap
seats in the forthcoming Raid where
the current defending KNRC Navigators Champion Ravi Soni will take
to the hands of the ex-Baja winning
Lexus LX 570 (The Beast) for the very
rst time.
Ross Field was all smiles, saying: I
am entering on my Husqvarna FE350.
I lead the bike championship and hope
with a good result this weekend will
secure the title for the 2015 season.
I have a challenge to beat Gray Cullen and Tejas Hirani to try secure the
overall rally raid title. In the bike side
Shivam and Andrew will be the biggest
challengers.

chose to focus on their last eight

For us to meet, we both have to win
our quarters and that is what we are
thinking of. If we meet in the semis,
at least one Kenyan team will be in

Tovoko also believes the two sides
have played well at the games despite

Kenyans claim rst gold medal in athletics at championship

BY BRIAN YONGA

byonga@ke.nationmedia.com
Kenya yesterday bagged its rst
gold medal at this years East Africa
secondary school games after Valentine
Mateiko led a one-two Kenyan nish
in girls 5,000m at the University of
Rwanda grounds.
Mateiko timed 16min,34.8sec for
victory, four minutes slower than her
time of 16:30.2 in last years games
in Dar es Salaam. Kenyas Gladys
Kipkoech nished second in 16:48.2

ahead of Ugandas Hadija Chemutai

(16:51.6).
The hot conditions and the running
surface made the race more dicult
and I could not lower my time from last
year. Nonetheless, Im happy to have
retained my title, Mateiko said.
The runners keeping together until
the last two laps when the two Kenyans
and Chemutai broke o from the rest
of the pack. With about 400m to go,
Mateiko surged forward and opened a
big gap between her and the chasing
pack as she raced towards the nish

line. The Form Three student at Moi

Girls Kaptam will today seek to retain
the 3,000m title. She also holds the
record (04:25.2) set in Tanzania last
year.
It was however a disappointing outing for the Kenyan boys in the 10,000m
as Burundis Nzikininkunda Oneshpore
took gold. Kenyan champion Andrew
Lorot was the pre-race favourite but
he was overtaken in the nal lap by
the Burundian who came home in
31min,38.5secs ahead of Lorot who
took silver, with Mathew Kimeli (32:

09.9) claiming bronze.

Lorot, who clocked 31:50.4, attributed his failure to win the gold medal
to the hot conditions and also breaking
o too early which eventually worked
against him.
Last years winner and record-holder
Alfred Barkach will team up with Lorot
in the 5,000m race set for this morning
after the former opted out of yesterdays 10,000m race.
Kenya also won silver in girls shot
put through Maxmilla Imali, who recorded 9.57 metres.

National volleyball team lands in Tokyo for World Cup

BY DAVID KWALIMWA

dkwalimwa@ke.nationmedia.com
in Tokyo
The national womens volleyball team yesterday arrived
in Tokyo for the 2015 FIVB
World Cup, which serves o
tomorrow.
The Malkia Strikers arrived
in the Japanese capital following
a two-hour trip from Hitachi,
where the team had set up a

week-long training camp in

readiness for the tournament.
Kenya will play Cuba in the
second of the three opening day
xtures slated for the Yoyogi National Stadium rst gymnasium
at 14.30pm local time (about
8.30am Kenyan time).
Upon checking in at the
teams hotel in the Japanese
capital, David Lung ahos
charges were welcomed by a
team of ocials from the World

Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).

The Wada officials - who
included five women and a
man - read out names of ve
players: Ruth Jepng etich,
Elizabeth Wanyama, Esther
Wangeci, Monica Biama and
Jane Wacu, and requested to
get urine and blood samples
from them straight away for
mandatory testing of possible
presence for performance enhancing substances.

The importance of competing in a clean environment has

already been emphasised and
we are only trying to enforce
that, one of the Wada ocials
told Daily Nation Sport.
The move by the doping
body to enhance scrutiny on
athletes comes at a time when
cases of cheating in sports are
at an all-time high, although no
Kenyan volleyball player has
been banned over doping.

SPORTPESA PREMIER LEAGUE | Kimanzis men lie fourth with seven matches to go

Its make or break for Tusker

Trailing leaders Gor by a massive
19 points, brewers must beat City
Stars to keep their title dream alive
BY CELLESTINE OLILO
colilo@ke.nationmedia.com

ormer champions Tusker

face a make-or-break tie
this evening when they
confront a tricky Nairobi City
Stars side in a SportPesa Premier League match at the Nyayo
Stadium.
The Francis Kimanzi-led
brewers, who trail league leaders
and defending champions Gor
Mahia by a massive 19 points,
must beat Stars to maintain
their faint hopes of clinching
the title for the 11th time.
A loss for Tusker will lock
them out of the title race with
six games to the end of the
season.
Pundits are in agreement that
Tusker, who last won the title
in 2012, have already lost out
on their preseason ambitions of
reclaiming the title but still have
a marginal mathematical claim
on the race in todays match.
The brewers, fourth on the
log, have blown hot and cold this
season and are currently on a
three-match winless streak.
Kimanzi continues to bemoan
the teams sloppy beginning to
the season, but the bullish character that he is refuses to accept
that there is pressure mounting
on his team to turn their stable
financial backing into solid
results in the league.
We had a very poor beginning to the season and we
have not been moving at the
right speed, there is no doubt
about that. But when you start
to talk about pressure, I get
lost because we are fourth with
seven matches left to improve,
said Kimanzi.
Our ambition of winning
the title this year still stands
and until it is mathematically

impossible for us to
achieve that, we shall
consider ourselves title
challengers.
Current league top
scorer Jesse Were will
miss this tie yet again as he
is attending trials with South
African side Bidvest Wits, and
Kimanzi looks set to retain the
experienced Cliord Alwanga
in his place.
Although they seat second
from the bottom on the log,
City Stars have improved tremendously in the second leg
where they have picked eight
of their 17 points.
City Stars lost 3-1 to Gor
Mahia in their last league
match while Tusker tied
1-1 with KCB.
At the same
venue, Mathare
United will
be seeking
redemption after
a rough
patch
when
they come
up against
Bandari FC
in a oodlit
match from 7pm.
Mathares 3-1
loss to Ushuru in
their last league action
prompted coach Stanley
Okumbi to threaten to resign
from the Slum Boys. But
club chairman Bob Munro
maintains that Okumbi is
still the man for the job
as the 2008 champions
aim to bounce back to
winning ways.

The question of
whether or not
the Bill should

is that of

Constitution
Speaker Muturi

Yesterday, Mr Muturi
said the National Assembly was not the right place
to determine whether a
constitutional amendment
should be subjected to a
popular vote or not.
He was responding to
concerns raised by lawmakers last week that the
proposed law could require

a referendum.
The question of whether
or not the Bill proposed by
the Member for Ugenya
should be subjected to a
referendum is that of construing and interpreting the
Constitution.
Indeed, any attempt by
the Speaker to make such a
determination would be in
blatant violation of the Constitution, which, pursuant to
Article 165 (3)(d), gives the
High Court the jurisdiction
to hear any question requiring the interpretation of
the Constitution, said Mr
Muturi.
Despite the Bill being
sponsored by a member
of the Opposition, ODM
has disowned it, saying
elections should be held as
prescribed in the supreme
law. During their retreat at
the Maanzoni Lodge last
weekend, party officials
resolved not to support
the Bill.
The MPs raised their reservations when the Bill was
brought to the House for the
Second Reading last week.
They asked the speaker to
deliver a statement to guide
the House on how to proceed with the draft law.

ARTS AND CULTURE

Curtains
falling

East African governments scarcely support their

creative industries, whether through nancing or policy
initiatives, leading to a struggling sector that faces
monumental problems

Culture is not seen as an exciting eld here

UGANDA
BETWEEN 2004 AND 2008, UGANDAS exports
of cultural goods and services were estimated at
$20 million. Copyright industries here employ about
100,000 people countrywide, with 10-12 people
employed in every 1,000 in the central region and
01 in 1,000 in the northern region, according to a
mapping survey commissioned by Uganda National
Commission (Unatcom) for Unesco in 2009.
But Ugandas creative economy has a number of
weaknesses. For instance, lack of government funding
means that even well regarded institutions such as
the National Museum face an uncertain future.
For the past three years, the Cross-Cultural
Foundation of Uganda (CCFU) has
been lobbying the government to
support mainstream culture in
all development initiatives,
and specically to earmark
at least one per cent of the
national budget to cultural
development programmes.
The CCFU executive
director, Emily Drani, observes
that there is limited political
will and nancing of the culture
sector, reected in the low
priority given to cultural heritage
on the national development agenda,
and that Uganda has no ministry of
culture, so (culture-related) structures are spread
under dierent ministries and departments.
The ICT infrastructure is still restricted to urban
regions as only 18 per cent of Ugandans currently
have access to the Internet. But even in the urban
areas where ICT infrastructure is abundant, it is
hardly exploited towards the growth of the creative
industries, the Ugandan playwright and actor, Philip
Luswata, told DN2.
We are hardly seeing a growth in animation,
a growth in a creative population on the Internet
discoursing about their craft, better quality creative
products due to quick access to research, an increase
in Ugandan artistic works being shared with the rest
of the world due to information gathered from the
Internet. None of these have spiked up, even in this
ICT age, Luswata adds.

The study observes that the Uganda National

Cultural Policy of 2006 mainly relates to traditional
forms of literature, music and dance, and not to the
creative economy.
The policy is the rst comprehensive instrument
that takes into account the countrys cultural diversity,
and was formulated to guide the formal and informal
systems of managing culture at all levels.
The government admits in the policy that,
generally, capacities in the culture sub-sector are
inadequate. The major areas of inadequacy include
limited qualied personnel, materials and equipment;
knowledge about markets for products; infrastructure;
and coordination. This status quo undermines
the potential for culture to contribute to national
development.
The policy says culture is cross-cutting. All
sectors, ministries and local governments
are, therefore, required to identify
culture issues within their mandate
and fund these activities within
their budget ceilings.
In addition, funding should
be mobilised from and by the
private sector, civil society
organisations, traditional/
cultural institutions, faithbased organisations, as well as
individuals.
The study observes that culture
is not a key part of the Uganda
Vision 2040, where it is not specically
mentioned. The Vision emphasises on national
culture, behaviour and ethical conduct, with no
mention of the creative economy.
According to the study, there is very limited crossover between the tech community and the arts, with
arts institutions serving a narrow denition of the
sector.
Luswata admits, saying: We are yet to appreciate
the place of technology in what we are doing. But
then, we need to attract the kinds of people who
can invest such into us. The creatives can hardly, in
the interim, raise the kind of funds necessary for the
industry to be technologically relevant. But then,
our product too, under the circumstances, is hardly
attractive for potential investment. We need to drive
what we are doing up to that point where it is obvious
that we can do better with better equipment.

The poor state of the creative

BY BAMUTURAKI MUSINGUZI
@musibamu1

lthough Kenya is by far

the economic and creative
hub of East Africa, a new
study shows that the sector
has numerous weaknesses which
are spread across its neighbouring
countries. The study, by the British
Council and titled Scoping the Creative
Economy in East Africa, analyses the
state of the creative economy in the
region and conrms that Kenya is also
a hub of continent-wide signicance,
offering strong competition and
collaboration potential to South
Africa and Nigeria.
Nairobi, the study points out, has
attracted global giants such as IBM,
Google and Microsoft because it has
the universities, infrastructure and
dynamism that make it a natural
leader in the region.
But that is where the rosy tale ends,
because, in contrast, the complete
lack of funding for the Kenya

East African governments are not funding the arts, while sponsors
do not see value in putting their money in artsy projects. The result
is an industry that is starved of funding, talent, exposure and interest
as audiences are herded towards better productions from countries
that have invested heavily in the sector, such as Nollywood
National Theatre, for instance by
the government means the local arts
scene is a shell of the powerhouse it
once was.
That nervousness by the
government to support a sector
which may be critical to the nation
is also reected in the edginesss of
advertisers, who will not support such
controversial productions like the
TV political satire XYZ, the Kenyan
version of Spitting Image, for fear of
government reprisals.
According to the study, released in
May this year, there is lack of training
and skills in homegrown TV and lm
makers, meaning the quality of the

visual and audio product is sometimes

wanting.
This is quite evident in the lack
of professionalism in the local
lm industry, with most Kenyans
preferring to watch cheap Mexican
soaps and Naija movies, Tabu Osusa,
the executive director of Ketebul
Music, based in Nairobi, told DN2.
Most of these young film
producers lack originality and
creativity and often dont do enough
research to come up with scripts and
direction that would appeal to the
majority across the country.
In his description of the Kenyan
creative economy, John Katana, the

band leader of Them Mushrooms,

notes that the local arts industry
is a lion that has not roared or
awakened yet.
It has all the potential to become
a multi-million-or-billion-shilling
economy, he adds, but it has not
taken o properly yet.
As to whether the Kenyan
government has put in place policies
to support a creative economy,
Katana says: Unfortunately, no,
the government hasnt done anything
worth noting. Theres a draft music
policy which, among others,
compels broadcasters to play 60 per
cent local content (see sidebar, right)

but theres no policy on the arts,

generally. The ruling Jubilee partys
manifesto has so much to oer the
creative economy, but has not done
much in that regard.
The study notes that hubs and
clusters are under-networked and
under-connected internationally,
and that there is a gap between the
Silicon Savannah dream and reality
in terms of nance and ability to get
projects o the ground.
Osusa remains pessimistic, arguing
that the dream of making a Silicon
Savannah in Kenya may not be
realised that soon due to the fact
that most African governments, with
Kenya being no exception, come up
with brilliant concepts now and then
but often fail to implement them due
to corruption.
I think the lack of support and
funding on the part of the government
is also due to misplaced priorities
and the lack of knowledge about the
sector, he adds.

The government does not support, but sees need to overtax

TANZANIA
THE FILM INDUSTRY IN TANZANIA is
undoubtedly strong, but government attempts
to strengthen copyright protection by stamping
lms are either seen as heavy-handed and done
for the purposes of censor, or as a misguided
and poor attempt to crack down on copyright
infringement.
The National Film Board is prominent
and seemingly quite powerful, while the
Copyright Society of Tanzania (Cosota) and the
Copyright Society of Zanzibar (Cosoza) need
strengthening. Dar es Salaam also enjoys an
EU-funded programme of 10 creative industry
support activities.
Tanzanias brand in the creative economy
is strong in music and lm, partly due
to the fact that Kiswahili, with over
130 million speakers, and English
mean access to pan-African
markets, but it is massively
underdeveloped and suers a
lack of condence, expertise
and experience in Tanzanian
exporters.
The craft, design and
fashion sectors are also
real strengths, with a very
distinctive aesthetic and strong
connections to tribal communities
and identities. But professionalisation,
capacity and links to market are all major
handicaps.
According to the Scoping the Creative
Economy in East Africa study, Tanzania lacks
proper distribution channels for lms; and
lmmakers are routinely ripped o or are naive
in the way they structure deals.
Saying there is no proper distribution of
lms is a misnomer, says Dr Martin Mhando,
a leading Tanzanian lmmaker and academic.
Distribution is a business that follows and also
sets industry trends. What is not happening
in the East African lm industry is the lack of
structural support between the various media
industries (TV, cinema, promotions, advertising,
etc) through which cross-funding of projects

can be encouraged and undertaken within

specied industry structures. Currently, for
example, there are few pre-sale structures
between producers and TV houses or
distributors, and that inhibits the way the
industry can be leveraged across the various
sectors.
The study notes that a visa cost for any
visiting artist is over $1,000, making artistic
collaborations dicult.
Indeed this is a very backward thinking
system where, after failing to enforce the
available tax structures, the government would
rather overtax to enable its organs to eece
artists and art promotional institutions through
the many, many fees, of which the artists visa
fee is only one, Dr Mhando says,
adding:
The vibali (licences)
syndrome is a huge scam
that the government
closes its eyes to since
it does not support
the arts properly, and
so resorts to allowing
government arts
bodies to set up fees
and regulatory cash
points to milk artists!
Government support
for entrepreneurship and
young people is tiny and
inadequate, the study observes,
and Dr Mhando says the governments
view of the arts is that of some sector that only
has to be tolerated.
And so only when the government recognises
the true commercial and social value of the arts
would the Treasury properly resource it.
We know the government moves slowly,
but after all the lessons we have learnt from
the West and now even from Nollywood and
the Nigerian government links with it, we still
have little understanding of the potential of the
industry, says Dr Mhando.
Mr Yusuf Mahmoud, the Chief Executive
Ocer of Busara Promotions, the organisers
of the annual Sauti za Busara music festival in

Zanzibar, laments that even after 11 successful

editions, the festival still receives zero nancial
support from both the governments of Zanzibar
and Tanzania.
In fact, we have to pay the National Arts
Council every year for registration, event
licenses and permits from the Board of Censors,
artists work permits and visa, assorted taxes,
media and lm permits, permission to put
posters on streets, not to mention costs for
venue hire, policing and security, electricity,
water and sanitation, technical facilities and so
on, Mahmoud says.
For many years weve had meetings with
ministers, directors, permanent secretaries,
even the President and Vice President, to beg
for at least some of these expenses to be
waived, but were not holding our breath to get
nancial support from our governments in the
foreseeable future. Its only fair to say the best
we hope for is minimal interference, he adds.
According to the British Council study, the
education system is not geared up to meet
the demands of any sort of the knowledge
economy.
I think there is need to not simply have a
band aid reaction to what the arts could do and
then inscribe a small measure in the curriculum
to show that the arts are supported in the
school system.
The government ought to encourage a
commercial view of arts education in the
creation, funding and developing of a system
where identied arts students are encouraged
to form enterprises even at the school level
for them to understand that the arts pay, Dr
Mhando says.
Mahmoud suggests that, with regard to
government policy, wed like to see more travel
bursaries for artists to encourage East African
artists to travel, watch, listen, learn, perform,
share and collaborate with other musicians,
especially around this continent.
We need to build bridges of peace,
friendship, mutual respect and unity across
Africa; what better way to do it than through
the universal language of music? he adds.

Five main areas that need

support if the East African
creative economy is to grow

Creative education: From primary school to

undergraduate level, education is often patchy and oldfashioned and does not deliver the types of skills and
knowledge needed for either the knowledge or creative
economy. There is a huge desire for approaches which will
foster new skills and a need for activity which shows new
ways of learning at all levels, including at entrepreneurial skills
level.

Legal and nancial services: These twin

heavyweights of a legal and nancial system that
is t for the modern creative economy are not that
strong in East Africa, the study noted, adding: It
will be a slow battle, but there is a need to continue the
ght through demonstrator projects, advocacy and quiet
diplomacy.

Merging culture and the

creative economy: Because
of distance and a lack of
infrastructure, East Africa
has arguably more to gain from
strengthening the relationship
between the creative
industries and culture than the
West, with real potential to
grow markets, for monetisation,
to extend reach, and to innovate.

Develop traction: A
problem for the creative
economy globally is that it is often
under the radar and thus invisible to governments
and the wider economy. This is especially apparent in East
Africa, where cultural mistrust of the sector (as a nontraditional business sector and therefore unreliable and
untested) run deep. There is a need for large scale projects
which can really change opinion and raise the prole, the
study authors suggest.

Grow markets: Because of relatively low income

levels and under-developed domestic markets,
in order to create viable businesses, creative
entrepreneurs need to have markets across Africa
and internationally. Export of East African creative products
is still woefully lacking because quality, knowledge, capacity,
and contacts are lacking, which means growth is stunted and
aspiration is often not as high as it should be.

economy across East Africa

that the quality of advertising,
especially on TV, is weak compared
to international markets, and Osusa
concurs, saying this could be due to
lack of creativity on the part of the
creators of these adverts. Katana
also agrees, saying this could be
occasioned by the fact that there is a
bigger radio listenership vis-a-vis TV
viewership, making corporates opt to
advertise more on radio than TV.
I also think that the use of foreign
characters on a big percentage of TV
adverts alienates local TV viewers,
thus impacting TV advertising.
The study observes that the
countrys education is light-years
away from providing creative
education for the future.
I guess the lack of support on arts
education in general comes from the
mistaken belief that science subjects
are superior to the arts, Osusa
observes.
This is true in public schools,
but there is a signicant paradigm
shift in private schools, with a good
number of them providing creative
education and related activities,
Katana adds.
The study notes that there is
almost no funding for live theatre
and performance by the government,
and Katana says the most that the
current Jubilee government has done
is refurbish the National Theatre and
fund the National Talent Academy.

CREATIVE ARTS DEFINED: According

to UNESCO, the core creative arts are
literature, music, performing arts and
visual arts, while other core cultural
industries are lm, museums and libraries.
The wider cultural industries include
heritage services, publishing, sound
recording, television and radio, video
and computer games; and the related
industries are advertising, architecture,
design and fashion.

60% LOCAL CONTENT: According to the

Kenya National Music Policy, launched
earlier this month by Sports, Culture and
the Arts Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario,
it will now be mandatory for public and
private broadcasters to dedicate 60
per cent of their music content to local
artistes. The policy is derived from the
ndings of a taskforce set up in August
2006 to study the market. In its current
form, it is just a framework which has not
become a law yet.

Both these undertakings were

started by the Mwai Kibaki regime,
he continues. Theres nothing
notable that the current government
has funded within the theatre and
performance domain.
Low wages, poor working conditions
and limited opportunities for too
many talented people are among
overall weaknesses identified by
the study. The East African creative
economy is also characterised by weak
creative education and low levels of
entrepreneurialism, management and
leadership across the arts and cultural
sector; plus low levels of literacy
across the wider population.
Cultural conservatism can also lead
to an aversion to risk, experimentation
and the inuence of dierent cultures,
while issues of tolerance and inclusion
(for example, gay rights, and barriers
to women in the workplace, among
others) could prove hindrances to
creativity.
There is also a lot of replication in
architecture and over-innovation in
technology, and many artists have to
grapple with inconsistent approaches
to copyright from weak rights
collecting mechanisms to draconian
enforcement, with few examples of
a mature and coherent approach to
rights management.
But the outlook is not all gloomy,
as the study observes that the East
African creative economy has a

number of strengths such as cultural

distinctiveness, very strong traditions,
and real air across creative sectors
including music, crafts, fashion, visual
arts, lm and increasingly digital
content industries.
There is a growing market for this
kind of output, because the region is
experiencing the consumer trends of
an increasingly youthful population,
an expanding middle class, and a
growing hunger for value-adding and
personalised goods and services.
East Africa is experiencing rapid
urbanisation, with cities becoming
real spikes of commerce, talent and
creativity. Also, the pervasiveness
of digital technology means that
innovators in new and emergent
technologies, as well as those in
multi-platform and multi-channel
activities, are now mainstream, and
there is a proliferation of straightto-digital business models across
the region.
This has given birth to innovation
and convergence, where collaboration
across dierent sectors, disciplines
and technologies is growing.
The regions rich and varied
cultural heritage is being infused
with legacies of creativity, invention
and trade in aesthetics. The cultural
practitioners in the region are bold
and ambitious, brimming with a
sense of an emergent new world
order and growing condence in an

African context.
The study notes that the creative
economy in East Africa has
opportunities. For instance, it can
build the capacity and condence
across the creative workforce, ignited
by creative education and skills
provision, mobilised by professional
development activities, and catalysed
by digitally enabled platforms which
showcase and trade creative goods
and services
The economy can also nurture
domestic and international markets
for creative products and services.
With even small levels of growth in
the market, many jobs will be created
and a signicant number of talented
people will be empowered to build
careers in the sector, the authors
point out.
The creative economy in East
Africa, therefore, can be characterised
as fragile, fragmented and at an early
stage of development. While there
are fundamental and important
differences between countries,
there are many shared issues which
currently hold the sector back.
In some ways the barriers are
the same as those faced in any
economic sector in the region
pervasive corruption, bureaucratic
and incompetent systems from
another age, lack of fundamental
infrastructure, and systemic
poverty.

CAREERS | Leadership coaches help transform basic knowledge into actual results for the company

Restoring balance
and eectiveness
in the workplace
Todays workforce is made up of dierent generations,
and thus working as a team has never been more
important. A skilled leadership coach can help your
organisation navigate this new dynamic succesfully
BY MILLICENT MWOLOLO

mmwololo@ke.nationmedia.com

here is more to team

work than marshalling
members towards a
common goal. Clarity
in how to arrive to the
teams vision and how individual
members of a team can contribute
to the attainment of the teams
vision is important.
As most private organisations
take on performance reviews to
drive results, the importance of
eectiveness in working teams
has increased. Executive and
leadership coaches have also
come in to help teams develop
a common way of working
together.
Executive and leadership
coaches help working transform
basic knowledge into actual
results that can be seen and
measured by companies. This
is done through action-based
approaches, says Irene Kinuthia
the Director of Transformation
Leadership Coaching at the
Strathmore Business School
(SBS).
A leadership coach, Irene
points out that companies
are increasingly seeking
organisational performance
management approaches that
empower employees to perform
better.
When individual members
of staff are transformed, the
workplace yields results and
this attracts more people, Irene
explains the concept which has
so far applied on companies for
the last 15 years.
In companies that are already
trained in organisational culture,
executive coaching helps turn
knowledge into action. This can
be a behaviour change, change
in attitudes towards some roles,
organising internal processes,
and enhancing team dynamics.
Leadership coaching also ensures
that managers build on their
character in order to strengthen
skills, drive change, and take on

challenges.
For instance, when an oil
drilling company in Kenya
approached her in July last year,
they were experiencing a stando between generation X and
generation Y. As a result, the
company was taking 100 days
in an oil drilling assignment that
only takes a standard 60 days.
This was costing the company
big business as international
oil companies could not give them
drilling contracts.
The elder generation was
experienced, and had some
hidden but crucial skills, while
the younger generation was able
to operate new technology better.
The younger generation therefore
felt, their senior colleagues who
occupied big positions in the
company were not good enough
at work.

FILE| DAILY NATION

Organisations
should rst assess their needs
so as to identify
the actual problem then decide
what they think
their ideal situation should be
like.

Changing the mindset

Irene was able to take the team

through a process that opened the
roles, and saw every member of
the team place themselves where
they could contribute more.
The senior positions, were not
senior positions anymore, in that
assignment. And since the elder
generation knew the terrain well,
they took up supervisory roles
the technical roles and actual
operations were driven by the
younger members of the team.
This reduced the time used in
the drilling assignment from 100
days to 70 days. The company
saved Sh300 million per ring, and
they were working with several
rings, Irene recounts.
This script is replayed in many
organisations in the country.
Companies are hiring the right
sta, with the best skills in the
market. Yet, when working in a
team, they do not visualise the
same ideal future. Executive
coaching comes in to train
working teams on how to eect
workplace eciencies through
both behavioural and actionbased approaches.
This gives businesses and

However,
a lot of
potential is
wasted when
individual
employees
do not
know or see
how they
contribute
to the overall
performance
of the
organisation
Irene

Director,
Transformation
Leadership

corporate companies not just

a working knowledge, but
the clarity on how to be able
achieve the desired results.
Very key is a clarity of roles for
every team/department within
an organisation so that every
individual gets to know how
they are expected to achieve
the set targets. However, a
lot of potential is wasted when
individual employees do not
know or see how they contribute
to the overall performance of the
organisation, Irene points out.
This tends to impact negatively
on their business teams as lack
a commonly-shared vision,
disrupts output. The end result
is competition amongst team
members and the eventual lack of
trust as every individual member
wants to stand out.
This, Irene says, is as a problem
that emanates from the grind of
going to work every day, doing
the same chores, and yet there
is no clear vision as to where
the organisation is headed to.
However, there are various ways
through which organisations
can be able to x this, and bring
businesses back on track.

Needs assessment

Irene says that organisations

should first do a assess their

needs to identify the actual
problem. This also entails going
back and scanning the internal
workplace environment, and
processes to collect information
on how far the issues to be xed
have derailed progress at the
workplace.
They have to draw the picture
of an ideal situation of what they
want their work and business to
be, she says.
Executive coaching takes
business teams and managers
through various actions that need
to be taken to ignite the working
environment and marshal both
individual and group synergy.
Implementing these actions, is
driven by the priorities of the
organisation at that particular
moment.
She advises managers on the
need to take into consideration
the stakeholders who will be
affected by any decision that
they undertake in a bid to drive
business growth. At this point, a
stake-holder analysis would help
to identify the fears and interests
of every member of the team.
Of importance is to engage a
stake-holder buy-in by identifying
that group of people within the
company who can support

the decision, Irene says. This

entails getting feedback and the
positions of stakeholders on the
actions to be implemented. A
list of the resources needed is
then compiled and the action is
implemented.
The success rate of this
process, Irene says, is very
high. The process rst proles
the personalities in the team
managers. This enables them
to drive change in their teams
through what they are best at.
It could be through a concept
paper, live presentations, or even
networking, Irene shares.
The concept helps companies
realise transformation by
navigating through their
organisational structure.
Things remain as they are, it
is only the individuals that have
to change, Irene says.
The results are seen over
time. For instance, if a team is
rening their internal processes,
the impact could be: better work
relations, better communication,
better work-life balance, money
saved and additional revenue.
The company is able to
identify wastage, redundancy and
how to deploy human resources
and others, where they are needed
most, Irene explains.

The value of modernday mindfulness

Dont let your history limit your destiny

W

BY RICHARD BRANSON
New York Times Service

THE NOTION of mindfulness, a mental state achieved

by slowing down and focusing ones awareness on the
present moment, is making a big impact on the eld
of business these days. The life of an entrepreneur has
always been hectic and stressful, but in the past few
years increased connectivity has turned things up a
notch. Mindfulness is one way that many entrepreneurs
choose to combat to the toll wrought by round-theclock emails, long working hours and other aspects of
our accelerated business culture. The business leader
Arianna Hungton says that mindfulness gives her a
competitive edge; Steve Jobs did too.
New technologies have transformed our workdays
at Virgin. Smartphones, especially, seemed to bring
only positives, giving people more opportunities to
meet with others while remaining in touch with the
oce. After all, real-life experiences and face-to-face
encounters - with fellow employees, customers or the
public are where the majority of our best ideas have
come from.
But soon everybody began to notice that while work
and ones private life used to be strictly segregated, the
line had blurred. Increased connectivity also means that
you are always at your desk.
Burnout is now a very real threat for many workers
around the world, which is why weve taken the step of
introducing unlimited holiday time and exible working
options at our head oces at Virgin. Other companies
have intensied their focus on employee health as well.
Arianna told me last year that at the Hungton Post,
the introduction of healthy snacks, a wellness program
and mindfulness training has led to a tter and more
productive sta.
The trick to not burning out is to dictate the way
that technology complements your business and your
working style, rather than allowing your devices and
software to call the shots. One idea thats making a
dierence is the concept of fast failure (perhaps we
should call it smart failure).
Let me explain: There have been some famous
examples from across history in which a would-be
inventors persistence has paid o it took James
Dyson thousands of attempts before he perfected his
prototype for a vacuum cleaner, for example, while
Thomas Edison went through about 10,000 failed
prototypes before successfully creating the electric
light bulb. You can imagine how they both could have
beneted from a shorter failure process.
At Virgin we now have fast failure processes and
technology that save time. At Virgin Australia, for
instance, we rely on technology that gathers data
on everything we do; an open dialogue with our
customers via social media that allows us to respond
to feedback in real time; and Ideas Lab, our internal
innovation platform, which encourages innovation
champions to step forward with potential solutions
to problems the business might be facing. This means
that we arent afraid of making a mistake, since it can
be rectied quickly, and lessons can be learned and
implemented soon as well. This relentless pursuit of the
best products and services for our customers across
Virgins companies is essential, as we would never
want to stand still. This pursuit of innovation, of course,
requires a talented and dedicated workforce - and it
requires speed, which can also cause strain. This is
where mindfulness training comes in, and it should be
as important as any major technological upgrade.
When I went on holiday with my family recently,
I wasnt afraid to switch on my out-of-oce email
message. When was the last time you did the same?
If you cant recall, then maybe its time to slow down,
switch o your phone and focus on the present.
Your business will benet as a result.

Fast, But Healthy

The business opportunities and productivity that

speedy new technology can bring are great - but dont
let tech take over.
If youre a business owner, remember that robust
holiday time and exible working options are good
for business. If youre an employee, make sure to take
advantage of such benets.
Make sure that the technologies you use
complement your working style - they shouldnt be
calling the shots.
If you cant remember the last time you consciously
chose to slow down and focus on the present, it has
probably been way too long. Make this a priority.

Group

hen last week I wrote

about taking risks I was
on the verge of taking
one myself. I was paying for a
hall so I could get to meet my
readers. I wanted you to be
inspired by some of the things
that were inspiring me and you
turned out in a way that I could
never have imagined and for this
I am so grateful. It was however
a very huge learning point for
me and I want to share them in
three categories the good the
bad and the ugly.
The Good: You responded in
your large numbers. By 6pm
the hall was nearly full. There
was energy and expectation.
Besides the very inspiring
stories one major thing that
caught my attention was the
fact that we had members of
parliament , Chairmen and
Chief Executives of companies,
Business owners, corporate
leaders, the electrician, the
spare parts dealer and even the
students all in one room. We had
people from dierent parts of
Kenya who had come from far
and wide to be inspired.

Dreams are valid

It showed that indeed my

Kenyan dream is valid a Kenya
united behind a single purpose
that transcends tribe, ethnicity
or social standing.
We had all said yes to a
common goal of being inspired
and so it was easy to say no to

The wise man learns

from the mistakes of
others. The fool insists

Dr Wale Akinyemi
the things that divide us. As
a Nation we need to identify
our common goal and dream
a great Kenya a Kenya that
we will leave better than we
found it.
When we unanimously say a
big yes to this then it will be
very easy to say a big no to
the things that divide us. As
an organisation when we say

a big yes to the dream of the

organisation then we will say
no to the suggestions oered
by mediocrity.
The Bad: I thought I was
thinking big when I got Lenana
Hall and Aberdare halls to be
combined and turned into one
super big hall. However, thirty
minutes into the event it was
clear that what I thought was
big thinking was actually small
thinking as there was no more
room even for people to stand.
I was even sadder to hear that
the number of people that were
turned back outside were more
than those inside. For this I am
terribly sorry.
The lesson? We need to qualify
our thinking contextually.
Because my past meetings
had attracted up to 200 people
getting a place that could take
four to ve times that appeared
to be big thinking. Where do you
take the bearing for your dreams
from? I had taken my bearing
from where I used to be and I
was burnt for it.
Friends it is possible to
have a destiny that bears no
resemblance with our history.
Dont ever let your dream be
limited by your history. People
like Dr. James Mwangi of Equity
bank are living a destiny that
bears no resemblance to their
history.
Nigerias former president
Olusegun Obasanjo did not
wear shoes until he was an

adult yet he lived and continues

to live a destiny that bears no
resemblance to his history.
Yes we do learn from history
but we have the liberty to have
dreams that are unconnected to
our history.

Never underestimate yourself

If we allow history to cloud

or dreaming and to dictate the
boundaries of our imagination
we will nd ourselves in the very
bad position I found myself on
Friday 14th August helplessly
learning that people who came
from far were being turned back
and there was nothing I could
do about it.
The Ugly: I promised to give
books to my readers and so we
went with 200 books because we
thought that there was no way
we could have more than that
number of readers show up.
Of course the 200 books
were able to serve only one
small segment of the people. (I
hope those of you who did not
get have collected your books
from the place we agreed on).
Again the big lesson is: Never
underestimate the potential of
your dream.
I hope you have today taken
some lessons from my mistakes.

mistakes of others. The fool

for you? While it is always good
to listen to peoples advice,
it is equally important that
you make your own decisions
because you alone will suer the
consequences of your actions.
There is a famous story of a
man and his son who were going
to the market to sell a donkey.
As usual, the donkey had a rope
tied to one of its legs. The man
and his son had decided to walk
alongside the donkey so that they
would not make it too tired by the
time thy got to the market.
As they were walking, they
came across a group of people
who were making their way to
the same market. One of the
people asked the man why he
was not allowing his son to sit
on the donkey, since they were
going a long way.

Riding the donkey

He said that the

boy would really be
exhausted by the time
they got to the market.
The man was fond of his
son quickly asked the boy
to mount on the donkey.
As they moved on, they
came across a second
group of people going to the
same market. They too were
carrying their wares.
After exchanging the usual

pleasantries, one of the market

people said to the man and his
son, Children of today have no
respect for their fathers. See how
this strong young man is riding
on the donkey and allowing his
father to walk. Why dont you ask
the boy to get down so that you
can ride on the donkey? The
other market people joined in the
discussion, forcing the man to
tell his son to dismount and allow
him to ride on the donkey. He
didnt want to make a scene.
Satisfied that the boy was
walking, the group of people
continued their journey to the
market, leaving man and son
alone. Since the boy could not
walk as fast as his father, the
journey was taking longer.
Soon, they

encountered another group that

felt sorry for the boy since he
looked tired. Why dont you ride
with him on the donkey? Isnt
that what donkeys are meant
for? one of the men in the
group asked. The man decided
that this was the best solution.
He and his son were soon seated
on the donkey.

Carrying the donkey

Before long they came across a

group of people coming from the
market. One of them remarked,
If you two are thinking of selling
this donkey, forget it. Look at
how tired it looks. By the time
you get to the market this donkey
will be looking too tired to
fetch any money. The man
and son dismounted.
Thinking for a
moment, they
decided to
carry

the donkey tied to a pole so

as to allow it to rest. As they
approached the market, they
had to cross a river. When the
donkey saw its reection in the
water, it panicked and threw
both man and son into the
river. Unfortunately, since it was
tied, it could not swim, and so it
drowned. The man and his son
walked back empty-handed.

Trying to please evryone

The man wanted to please

everyone but ended up losing
his donkey. Sometimes, those
who advise you will only do
so for self-interest or out of
ignorance.
In order to make good
decisions, you must rst assess
the situation. Decide what the
problem is and think of as many
alternatives to the problem as
possible. Then think of the
possible consequences of each of
the alternatives. It is important
for you to play through all the
scenarios so that you are clear
on the results. Decide on the
best alternative, implement
it and evaluate the results.
Then make adjustments
accordingly.
Consult widely if you need
to but always be the one to
make the nal decision. Have
a decisive weekend!

armless scarecrow lay, was now a
heap of rubbish.
Peter stared helplessly at the
mess. What a morning! he said to
himself. He was enraged. Without
having another glance at the
damaged scarecrow he left the
cabbage garden.
Peter went to the sweet potatoes
garden. The vines were owering and
the green leaves blended so well with
the purple and white owers. The
garden looked beautiful. It warmed
Peters heart making him forget what
he had done.

Peter hurriedly went back to the

cabbage garden. He wanted to repair
the scarecrow before anybody could
nd out.
He held the scarecrow by the
neck to position in a way he would
conveniently work on it. On trying
to prop it on his knee, the neck
disjointed with the torso.
Peter panicked. The steadiness
in his hands was replaced with
restlessness and clumsiness. He had
to check whether anyone was coming
to the farm while at the same time
repair the scarecrow. He fumbled
with it in an eort to mend it, but it
continued getting worse than it was.
After a few minutes, the scarecrow

QUITE AN EXPERIENCE
ABOARD THE BEAST OF
ONGATA RONGAI
After hearing fantastic
tales about the best
matatu on the Ongata
Rongai route BRIAN
CLIFF decided to check it
out. He recounts his ride
on the Blackberry.

t is a hot, dusty afternoon and the main

matatu terminus in Ongata Rongai is a
bee-hive of activity. The sweltering
temperatures provide a welcome relief
from the previous days chilly weather
and create booming business for bottled-water vendors.
A commotion, which at rst, sounded
like a rush to witness the stoning of an
unlucky pick-pocket turns out to be a
scramble to board a matatu that had just
arrived.
Is that the Blackberry, I ask a casuallydressed young man who seems elated at
the arrival of the minibus.
He gives me a barely coherent answer as
he dashes to board it.
Two months earlier, a friend of mine
who lives in Rongai town had praised the
minibuss widespread reputation among
local commuters, so while in the area on a
dierent assignment, I seized the opportunity to check out his claims.
I spoke to 19 random commuters between the ages of 18 and 40, 13 of whom
waiting to travel to the Nairobi CBD in
four dierent matatus. I also picked two
random matatu drivers, one conductor and
three hawkers and asked them all the same
question: Which is the most popular, most
liked and most-talked-about matatu plying the Rongai Town-Nairobi CBD Route
Number 125?
All except one conrmed that it was the
Blackberry.
But even the only dissenting voice, a
youthful 26-year-old businessman, initially mentioned the popular, pimped-up
Isuzu minibus before changing his mind
and named a more recent entrant on the
route.
As it drove into the terminus, the Blackberry-branded minibus glowed as the sun
rays reected upon its imposing, shiny
black body. Although the grati work on
Rongais most celebrated matatu isnt that
colourful or overwhelming, it is sophisticated in its simplicity.
This artistic simplicity, according to Mohamed Moha Kartar of Moha Grax, is
the true beauty of art. Moha, 37, has been
in the matatu grati trade for a decade.
He promptly acknowledges the expertise
of Porsche Designers whom, he admits,
succeeded in reproducing a mobile phone
technology theme onto the matatu exterior
with a lot of delity.
As soon as you look at the matatu, you
immediately recognise a unique theme
used for its artwork, he told Zuqka while
showering praises on President Uhuru
Kenyatta whose directive in November
last year to allow matatu grati, he says,
unleashed more creative freedom in the
industry.
Craftily airbrushed images of a Blackberry mobile phones QWERTY keypad
and screen icons blend well with the
matatus predominantly black exterior,
itself a reection of the staple colour of
all Blackberry mobile phones. The phones
instant messaging feature has its initials,

BBM (Blackberry Messenger) forged

onto the matatus front grill using shiny
aluminium plates to give the matatu its
own uniquely customised logo.
And within just six minutes of the
matatus arrival, all the seats are occupied
and the minus bus leaves for Nairobi on
its rst trip of the evening shift. Im lucky
to have found a seat as they are often
booked.
Many of our clients call me or my
conductor to book seats even before
the bus arrives at the stage, says Peter
Tupac Njuguna, 35, the proud driver of
the matatu. I nd a chance to engage him
briey during a brief trac snarl-up on
Magadi Road.
I learn that the crews courtesy and the
fact that they never hike the fare during peak hours are what have endeared
them to many college students and young
professionals operating on a tight budget.
This, in addition to the ambience created
by trendy music played through state-ofthe-art multi-media entertainment systems, has earned the commuter bus loyalists who swear by the all-round satisfying
experience of travelling in it.

Loyal commuter

Martha Ogechi, a 32-year-old research assistant, is one such loyal commuter. For
months on end, she has been sold on the
matatus predictable fares and crews
courtesy. And although she is a staunch
Christian, she doesnt mind the predominantly secular music played because, she
has noted, its not overly raunchy.
Next to a window seat located half-way
down the passenger cabin is Douglas
Waweru, a 25-year-old communication
student heading for his afternoon classes
at the Multimedia University of Kenya on
Magadi road. Rhythmically nodding his
head to the hip hop beats booming from
the speakers, he likes the fact that the
Blackberry is always full of teeniez
(Sheng for young people).
I would be so uncomfortable riding in a
mat full of baby boomers, he chuckles as

he prepares to alight at his the matatu approaches the universitys bus stage.
I was sitting at the back so I had a wideangle view of a festival of lights, speakers
and screens embellishing the passenger
cabin. A conspicuous 42-inch plasma
screen in the passenger cabin displays
live video feed of the road ahead through
CCTV cameras mounted on the matatus
windscreen. The driver uses controls on
the dashboard to toggle between realtime, live video feeds of the road ahead
and booming music video mixes.

Glittering ceiling

And like a deer caught in the headlights,

I am still staring at the at screen and
the 6x9 inch mid-range Pioneer speakers
mounted on the glittering ceiling when the
minibus leaves the bumpy Magadi road
and joins Langata Road, accelerating to
cover the distance up to Nyayo Stadium
in a matter of minutes. However, unlike
me, a bachelor of commerce student going for evening classes at the University of
Nairobi isnt as smitten by the matatus interior attractions as she is by the fact that
she has never been sexually harassed
by its crew. Eunice Sigana cites the crews
professionalism in handling female passengers as the main reason she loves to
use the minibus that registered under the
Ongata Line Sacco.
This makes for a good case study of
how courtesy and professionalism in
customer relations could attract loyal clientele and by extension, stable revenues
in business. Because of loyal customers
like Eunice, the owner of the famed bus,
who prefers anonymity, makes at least
Sh12,000 each day, after deducting the
fuel and maintenance costs. This daily
installment is welcome as he seeks a
return on his costly investment. You see,
according to fellow Ongata Line Sacco
DriverJames Wamburu, who also runs
wambururu.wordpress.org, a public blog
that exclusively discusses public transport, a new souped up matatu will set you
back a cool Sh5 million.

Its a tough business, agrees Driver Tupac,

as he lets the vehicle cruise on the stretch along
Uhuru Highway approaching the Haile Selassie
roundabout.
Tupac says that challenges notwithstanding,
he enjoys his job and takes it seriously, hoping to
own his own matatu in future. A typical day on
the road sees him deal with fake music copyright
ocials seeking bribes to allow his minibus to
play local music, and greedy trac policemen
who often ag him down on imsy grounds.
Circling the roundabout, he then steers the
bus right and onto Haile Selassie Avenue, taking
the inner lane to branch towards the National Oil
stage, which is still referred to as Agip, after the
fuel stations previous name.
We nally pull up at the city stage to meet
hordes of Ongata Rongai-bound college students
and young professionals who had patiently waited
for the arrival of the popular manyanga. This
matatus deadly combination of stylish looks,
good music and the integrity of the crew is what
causes that... Njuguna says, as he points to the
view from his side mirrors of commuters jostling
to board the Blackberry for the ride back to the
diaspora, as Ongata Rongai is called, although
it is only 21 kilometres from the city centre.

HOW TO AVOID DATE RAPE

daily NATION August 21, 2015

ecently, Kenya Airways ew itself into

billions worth of losses, veritably carving a
strong niche alongside other corporations
like Uchumi and Mumias Sugar that have
proven to be colossal failures in terms of
investment. The government, a ubiquitous
shareholder in failed rms, has been left
with lots of egg on its face following the
staggering losses.
Grandpa Richarthem to shield them from
interacting with the rest of humanity. This
is due to fears that if we let the current
trends continue unabated, we risk bringing up a generation whose only meaningful
technological contribution will be uncouth
hashtag wars on Twitter and unruly snaps
on Instagram.
We must strive to prevent burning
our ngers in an eort to educate
a generation that will voluntarily
become illiterate in a few years
time. This, Grandpa Richard
fears, will be manifested
when comrades finally
lose the ability to comprehend any writing
with more than 140
characters. They will,
therefore, consign
traditional books
and newspapers to
museums where
nobody will see
them apart from
old ladies and
schoolgoing children.
It is not a secret that some
comrades have
had a chokehold
on campus politics
for years on end,
and bestride the
university political
scene like colossi. Are
we bringing up future
political despots? Nobody should be president
for life, President Obama
said.
People have complained that
mine is a generation keen only

on spending the governments money like

drunken sailors while putting in place no
plans at all to raise cash of their own. Invite
them for a rugby tournament sponsored by
second-generation liquor and theyll swarm
the venue. Start giving them pep talk about
investment options and theyll simply walk
away.
The threat of a future nation whose only
source of income for its girls is sponsors
(read sugar daddies), and where boys invest
their earnings in sports betting websites, is

more than real.

It doesnt take an Ipsos-Synovate poll to
point out that we might be hurtling towards
the edge of a precipice. As a country, it is
time for us to sit down and ask the hard
questions about our youth while examining
their lives thoroughly to avoid frustrations
in future.
An unexamined life is not worth living,
Socrates said.

IM TELLING YOU ALL,

IT ALL FALLS DOWN. Im
telling you all, it all falls
down. Kanye West would
never have imagined that
so far East (of the pond)
would his song one day
speak so much to Jose
Mourinho. Sitting slouched
at the dug-out on Sunday,
Jose Mourinho cast a very
sombre gure.
It hurts Mourinho allthe
more because everything
not only seemed surreal,
but was actually made up.
You see, after the oodlights dimmed and the
players were back in their
buses, Manuel Pellegrini
walked up to him and
they had a good laugh.
We hadnt just watched
City dissect the Chelsea
back line with laser
precision. We must
have been on our PlayStation consoles when we
witnessed Sterling horrically drop the shoulder
on Ivanovic three or four
times. spinning the Serb
like a ballerina before
leaving him behind in a
debris, mostly made of
his own contorted body
parts. Fingers were pointed
at Eva Carneiros ghastly
defensive showing, just 18
seconds into the match, allowing Aguero through to
a one-on-one with Asmir
Begovic. What a poor defender, this doctor.
The Serbian has had a
messy start to the season,
with Jeerson Montero
having scorched him on
the opening weekend
before Sterling absolutely
barbequed him on Sunday.
Is it too soon to read

into the season? Denitely.

Should Chelsea get worried and call their bankers
to print more chequebooks? Hardly. Will City lift
the title? You might as well
ask your three-month-old
son.
City were excellent for
long spells, but came
under intense pressure
during some parts of the
second half. A period during which Chelsea would
have considerably changed
the complexion of the
game had they nicked in
a goal. Chelsea were not
particularly terrible but
their mideld positioning
of Matic, Willian and Ramires seemed encumbered;
which doesnt make sense
because they were particularly played in that set-up
to oer extra reinforcement and release Fabregas
to roam more threateningly within the nal third.
It makes perfect sense
on paper, yet with Ramires you always get the
feeling theres not much
being brought to the
table. Rather than bring
in Kurt Zouma for John
Terry, the defender should
have come in for Ramires
but as DMF and have
Willian move to the right
wing. That already leaves
Chelsea ve points o
the pack. The score was
harshest on Asmir Begovic
who at 28 and almost approaching a goalkeepers
prime, still has to deputise
for a colleague ve years
his junior. His only undoing
on Sunday was playing
with comically thankless
defenders.

WE NEED WOMEN WHO CAN SPEAK ON OUR BEHALF

did not want to write about some

eerie audio that went viral recently
in which a noticeably distressed
woman pleads with a guy called Morris during what sounds like a forced
sexual encounter. Its disturbing. Its
obviously rape. For some sick reason,
Morris had the presence of mind to
record this and post it online. For
some even sicker reason, everyone
felt the need to share it.
Having regularly written about rape
on this column I was hoping to skip
this latest thing that was (for unfathomable reasons) so amusing to many
Kenyans on social media. And others
on radio shame on the presenters
who thought this was hilarious! Many
things went through my head when I
heard that audio and none of it was
amusement. I could not get through
the whole thing. I thought I had successfully avoided getting my blood
pressure up over this issue when the

Interior Cabinet Secretary visited

prisoners at the Nairobi Remand
Prison last week and told them that
those convicted of rape lacked proper
seduction skills. Many of us, ladies,
are happy to give up the goods so
long as we are asked nicely, according to the CS.
Drat! He just had to say that and
drag me into this conversation that
I was trying so hard to avoid. If Ive
said it once, Ive said it a million
times. Rape is not about sex. Rape is
about power. Rape is about violence.
Rape is about subjugating another
human being. Its not about being
turned down by girls and then forcing
yourself on them because you dont
have the right pick-up lines.
The fact that many in our society
do not even understand what rape
is about gets me nervous and makes
me understand why that rape audio
was passed around so freely. If you
post something online, the rst user
to upload it can be easily identied.
Nkaissery has the power to nd this

CIKUS BEEFS

muiruri
Morris chap and send him to the
Nairobi Remand Prison. While there,

he might educate the CS on the real

thrill he got from that encounter. It
wasnt the sex. That guy got his kicks
from that girl pleading with him and
knowing he had the power over her
to make her suer. It was about humiliating her.
A friend of mine has decided to run
for Woman Representative in Nairobi
in the next election. She said on her
status: Im not perfect but I try. Im
eloquent, educated, serious and passionate. Im running for Woman Representative. Its time for sanity.
Im not sure how far a girl with no
party can get. Im not sure if as an
electorate, we can give people not associated with the traditional parties a
break if they dont get a nomination.
But I will say this, someone has to
try. We dont need men speaking
about issues that they dont understand because our woman reps went
MIA. We need brave women like Lisa
Mutheu saying enough is enough.
Only in Kenya can we change our
Constitution to create positions for

women and then have those same

women say nothing about the very
issues we needed them to hold those
positions in the rst place. Was Njoki
Ndungu all we had and the Supreme
Court robbed us of our only voice?
Yes, Lisa is not perfect, Ill attest
to that. But shes far better than what
weve got now. I will never again
base my voting choices on parties. It
must always be about the individual.
And in this case, someone who can
eloquently, from an educated, serious
and passionate viewpoint let these
men know (and some clueless females as well) what rape is. Violence
against women. Simple.

HERES HOW TO BE SELF-ASSURED AT ALL TIMES

DALLIANCE DIARY

ciku
kimani
Dress right. It does not
matter what you are
wearing or how anyone
thinks you look: what
matters is how you feel
about your dressing. If
you dress to impress
others, chances are
that your condence is
at an all-time low.

ver had one of those days

that are antonyms to bad-hair
days? Of course you have,
everyone has them, especially
women (it is called ovulation
time *wink, wink*). You wake
up chirpy and look forward
to the day much more than
usual. As a bonus, there is no
morning trac or if there is, it
does not bother you because,
well, nothing can bring down
your spirits. Even the usually
grumpy watchman at the entrance ashes you a smile.
Everyone is giving you a
hint of a smile, and you smile
back. All this has to do with
how you are feeling about
yourself. You are full of condence but cannot pinpoint
the source, yet you are glowing. You feel more attractive,
endearing, daring confidence is 80 per cent of how
your day turns up. The condent days are the days you
manage to sign that deal you
have been chasing for a year.
They are the days you nally
manage to ask that girl for
coee and she actually says
yes. If you are the gambling
sort, those are the days you
place a huge bet on whatever
but as a disclaimer, if you
lose, which is the likely result,
dont blame me.

But, what if, just what if,

you could have your condence ne-tuned throughout?
Not easy, especially because
sometimes you have people
stepping on your feet like
they are being paid to; if it is
not the lift getting stuck on
rst oor, it is the rude motorist ignoring the green light
for pedestrians and actually
insulting you for crossing
the road.
Your favourite restaurant
has changed cooks so the
coffee is horrible, and the
fries look like botched crisps.
Sometimes things can go horribly wrong and keeping your
cool is mission impossible.
In my experience, it pays
not to lose your temper. Losing temper is for the weak
kindergarten stu! My kids
do it with their eyes shut! No
big deal. The big deal, the
stu people for people with
thick skins, is being able to
control that temper. Not losing your temper at people
who clearly want you to lose
it disarms them. A winner for
you because you change the
script as they know it, and
they do not know what to do.
That leaves you in control of
situations.
Road rage. That gremlin
that is sure to spoil not only
your day, but your week. If
anyone cuts in front of you,
let them; youre not involved
in a competition on the road.
If someone hoots when you
are obeying the trac rules
and waiting for the light
to turn green, do not even
bother with the jump the
light hand signal; ignore
them. If they overtake you
angrily and gives you the nger, wave. The reactions are
quite amusing and oer free
entertainment.
Remember to say thank
you even when you have a
splitting headache. Say sorry
when somebody shoves you
on the street (I do). But, do
not give directions to strangers, I hear that is when those
confuser cons spray things
into your face and confuse
you and when you come to,
your bank account and house
are both empty.
You want confidence to
deal with everyday stresses?
Dress right. It does not matter what you are wearing or
how anyone thinks you look;
what matters is how you
feel about your dressing. If
you dress to impress others,
chances are that your con-

dence is at an all-time low as

you are constantly waiting for
approval. If you keep pulling
down you skirt because it is
too tight or short, no baby, do
not lie to us, or yourself. You
are not condent about your
outt, otherwise you would
not be adjusting it every ve
seconds. Bottom line? Dress
for comfort, the rest are details. How about not trying

to impress every Tom, Dick

and Harry and their annoying
cousin? In the big bad world,
there will always be people
determined to punch holes
in whatever you do. If you do
your best, if you do not reap
where you have not sown, the
only person allowed to take
your condence away from
you is you.
Remember, everyone has

issues some visible, some

not, but issues all the same.
Things like acne can put a
dumper on condence, but
in fact, you might be in a
better position because your
body issue is out in the open,
nothing to hide imagine if
you had one in the some
other area, and you have to
keep that secret forever! Living with a dark secret is not

fun, and besides, there is

very little you can do about
acne (dermatologists may
disagree but hey).
Have a condence-lled
day!

Straight Outta Compton, a biopic about the pioneering rap group N.W.A., wowed Hollywood by taking rst place in the North American box oce in its
debut weekend.
Racing past its rivals, and past even the most optimistic of expectations, the lm took in an impressive
$60.2 million (Sh9.4 billion), box oce tracker Exhibitor Relations reported on Monday.

Hospitality and Business Institute, many

saw it as a great move. It was envisioned as
a tertiary institution to equip Parapet sta
and other professionals in the industry.
This expansion into education was a
daring move, considering that Nyagas
team had no prior experience in the eld.
However, the venture became a cropper
when government regulations forced them
to shut it down. But Nyaga remained undaunted.
Failure to launch never puts me down,
I have programmed my mind to focus on
possibilities, not problems.
Most people are driven by fear of failure
but entrepreneurs are driven by the thrill
of success. I would still invest in education
if I found a business model that works, he

in life. Beyond a healthy bank account,
Nyagas journey has given him a wealth of

surviving the ups and downs of life if you

He set out to be a hotelier

but ended up establishing
one of the leading cleaning
services in the country.
BONIFACE NYAGA spoke
to Alex Nyaga about his
sudden career shift.

lex Nyagas childhood dream

was to be a hotelier, so after
completing sitting his Kenya
Certificate of Secondary
Education at the Nairobi
School in 1993, he went
to Switzerland the following year to study
hotel and hospitality management at Les
Roches International School of Hotel
Management.
However, upon his return in 1997,
he could not get a job since a
slump in tourist numbers was taking a heavy toll on the hospitality
industry. Not one to while away
the time, Nyaga, decided to do
try his hand in business to earn
some money.
I didnt want to sit around
doing nothing or to spend all
my time job hunting so I tried
a few ventures. At rst I did it
Kenyan style, I copy-pasted
every business idea that
seemed to work. I was
relatively successful selling juice concentrate
to schools, restaurants
and various organisations, he recalls. But
he was still not satised.

would be a wonderful
idea to have a one-stop
shop for professional
cleaning services that
would also allow clients
to outsource cleaning

ices. That was just the cue Nyaga needed

to set up Parapet Cleaning Services, which
has become one of the dominant companies providing such services in the country.
His friends liked the idea so much they
bought shares in the company and came
in as members of the board. They were
condent that, with the knowledge he had
about hospitality management, setting up
the company was right up his alley. That
was in 1997.
With a little beginner luck, they got a
contract to clean the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Unfortunately, it was
short-lived.
We lost the contract after three months.
We were a little green in business and some
politics got in the way as well, Nyaga explains. This company was formed as a
result of certain circumstances, but with
time weve shaped it into a formidable
organisation.
He came into the market just as the wave
of outsourcing was catching on and rode on
it to great success.
Cleaning wasnt new, the competition
we have was here long before we got in,
he explains. But in business, you need to
stand out from the crowd, to dierentiate
yourself and make yourself the best choice.
We are not just cleaners; we are a professional team of technicians.
Today the company, which boasts a host
of high-prole clients and has a number
of awards under its belt, is indisputably
one of the market leaders. After 18 years
of hard work and persistence, Nyaga has
transformed what began as a business idea

they view him not just as a boss, but as a

Though success has brought him status,
its the wealth of knowledge he has gained
that remain his greatest asset. Nyaga
comes across as an easy guy, extremely
passionate and eager to take on the next

hen you think about

a tattoo, you think about an
extension of yourself. It is something you want people to see and
identify you with. After all, it is
permanent ink being applied to
your body so getting a tattoo is a
big decision, but deciding on the
tattoo itself is an even bigger decision. And rock and roll artistes,
being an eccentric lot, have their
fair share of tattoos and body
piercings. Some are good, some
bad and yet others downright
ugly. Tattoos dene a great deal
in rock and roll, from the rebellion to the often misunderstood
artistic expression. Body art
adds to the glamour of the rock
star. They represent battle scars
and bits of their history to the
fans who might never get to sit
down with them across a table

and listen to their stories.

In the punk rock genre,
there have been some amusing
examples of very conspicuous
tattoos. This is what you got
with former Blink 182 drummer,
Travis Barker. With a Mohawk
to boot, Barker had tattoos all

over his slender body, with body

piercings on his eye brow and
lip. He looked like the kind of
guy your mum would hate to see
at the dinner table, regardless of
how successful both he and his
band are. Barkers ink memoirs
honour the people in his life who

As for heavy metal, a lot of

the artistes in this genre have
tattoos that often depict skulls
and apocalyptic messages.
Perhaps because of the genres
bellicose nature, looking the
part is important. It is rare to
nd any that means anything
to the artistes. James Heteld of
Metallica has rather interesting
tattoos. On his arms, he has tattoos of angelic creatures that are
symbolic of his interaction with
the supernatural and his reverence for life after going through
certain things in life.
He has tattoos in honour of
Cliff Burton, the bands first
bass player who died in an accident when the bands bus
overturned during a European
tour in 1986. His tattoos are
very interpersonal and relate to
a lot of the things he has gone
through in life. He also has his
childrens names tattooed on his
chest.
Every tattoo has some form of
signicance. Every now and then
the meaning is obscured and we
have a hard time deciphering it.
At other times, a aming skull
is exactly that a aming skull.
Whats evident, however, is that
we always want to dig further
and nd out what the intriguing
tattoos mean. So which is your
favourite rock star tattoo?

Nganga
Q. How long have you been acting?
A. Since 2007.
Q. Any other actors in the family?
A. No, not even in the extended family.
Q. Tell us a little about the part you are
playing?
A. I am playing Sammy Morio, a psychopathic, small-time burglar and con
artist. At 32, he has nothing to call his
own, so when the opportunity
to con presents itself,
he grabs it. As to
whether it all goes as
planned, come and
see for yourself.

Q. So what is your biggest fear?

A. Dying before I reach my full potential
Q. Any TV work you can tell us about?
A. I have not done a lot of TV work, but I feature in a local drama coming soon on one of the
pay TV channels. I cannot talk about it before it
air. Also, in 2008/2009, I was in Guy Centre for
two seasons. I have been on Lies that Bind and
Mother in-law.

would you do dierently?
A. I would explore the possibility of getting a
scholarship to study professional theatre abroad.
Q. Who is the one person you would like

plan?
A. To contribute to the development of Kenyan theatre by

I also indulge in boxing, which I want to take up
more seriously.
Q. Married, single, waiting?
A. I am happily married with one son.
Q. Given ve minutes with students on the rampage, what would you tell them?
A. I am not sure ve minutes would be

their talents early and engage in their pursuit. I
would also tell them burning schools is stupid
and no school rules were not made to be broken. Four years is not exactly a life sentence.

ASK CINDY
cindym254@gmail.com
Dear Cindy,
My father was a happy drunk who died
of liver failure. My brother is also a drunk,
but not a very happy one, and looks like a
70-year-old man instead of his 40 years.
I really want to help him but I am afraid
that he might snap at me. I love him very
much and would hate to see him go to
waste like our dad did. Please help.
Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
Your brother is probably an unhappy
drunk because he is wondering why no
one cares if he dies like your dad did.
Sometimes, all people need is attention.
I think you should risk him getting upset
with you, but you will be doing it for the
bigger good. First, alcoholism is a disease,
and should approach him as if he is unwell,
because he really is unwell both physically
and mentally, that is why he looks twice his
age. Take advantage of the stop alcohol
hype going on in the country. Perhaps you
could ask him what he thinks about the
whole thing. Depending on his reaction,
ask him whether he ever misses the days
he was sober. You could even ask him what
he thinks about the way your dad died. You
could also rally your other relatives to help
him, perhaps take him to a rehabilitation
centre if you can all aord it. Most important, give him love, even when it does not
seem reciprocated but at least he will
know someone cares, that someone would
be there for him if he ever needed them. All
the best.
Dear Cindy,
I am 22 years old and have been dating
this guy for two years. He has paid my
school fees since I was in Form Three, and
now he wants to marry me although I have
not nished college. He has threatened
to stop paying my college fees if I do not
marry him. I am torn because I am not
ready for marriage. I do not even think I
love him enough, yet I am desperate to
complete university, and I still have two
years to go. I am the rst born and there is
no one else to pay my fees. What do I do?
Clarisa
I would like to tell that man o because
he is a master blackmailer. Did he tell you
that he would pay your school fees so that
he could marry you? If yes, then I am sorry,
you are obliged to marry him. If not, then
he should be ashamed of himself because
what he is looking for is property; he wants
to treat you like some piece of furniture
that was on hire purchase, he wants to do
whatever, whenever, he wants with you. I
would not advise you on that. Your kind
of relationship is very tricky because the
minute a man who is not your relative offers to pay your school fees, there is obviously some ulterior motive. He usually
wants to own you. At the same time, I can
understand why anyone would say yes to
such an oer.
However, think about it. If you love him,
go ahead and marry him. If you agree to
marry him, ask yourself whether you want
to spend the rest of your life married to
someone you do not love, which means
youll be miserable. True, he paid your
school fees, but is that worth spending the
rest of your life being miserable? He might
be hurt, people will say you used him, but
really, sometimes you have to look at the
bigger evil and get rid of it, and in your
case, the bigger evil is marrying someone
you do not love, someone who has the guts
to blackmail you. You can look for smalltime jobs to enable you to put yourself
through college. Others have done it with
notable sucess in the past. All the best.

WE ARE THE VOICE OF

THE PEOPLE
Achieng Abura
is one of the best
known female afro
jazz artistes in the
country. She has
been a singing
sensation since she
released her debut
Afro-jazz single,
Maisha. She spoke
to MAUREEN
ORWA about her
latest single I
believe, as well as
what shes been up
to and her plans for
the future.

Its been a while since your

last album. Your new single,
I Believe, is attracting a new
and much larger audience locally; what inspired it?
My inspiration for I Believe
came from what US President
Barack Obama stands for: a
better world for all. Where
everyone has a right to live in
dignity and be the best they
can be.
How does it feel releasing
music again?
I love recording and even
between albums, I am always
involved in recording music
for a cause or with friends.
I truly enjoyed recording my
new album, Rebirth.
What impact have your songs
had?
I write music with timeless
messages. Some people feel I
am too artistic. I feel it is only
through passion that one can
truly inspire and change the
world.
Whats the one thing you
found out about yourself
while doing this record?
That my music is a reection
of my deep faith in God and
the consequent desire to make
the world a better place.

Whats the craziest thing

you have done in the name
of love?
Ha! Ha! Oh my! Let us leave
it at that. Remember, artistes
are very passionate people, so
it is best left unsaid.
Which artistes are you currently listening to, both local
and international?
I am listening to a lot of movie
sound tracks, mystique, classical and divine music.

What inspired you to become

an artiste?
My late mother bought me
a piano when I was 12 years
old. That laid the roots for my
career in music.
Did you start singing as a
child?
Yes, I did. I made noise all
over the place trying to put
melody to the poetry that I
loved then.
How would you describe your
song writing process?
The source of inspiration varies; from an emotion, melody,
sound, beat, message, etc.
Something triggers the need
to write.
Which musicians inuenced
you?
When I was a little girl, I admired Miriam Makeba, Letta
Mbulu, Aretha Franklin and
Barbara Streisand. When I
grew up, musicians, like Youssou Ndour, Salif Keta, Whitney Houston and Patti Labelle
were my greatest inuence.
What would you like to do
that you havent done?
Win a Grammy one day!
Do you ever wear Western
clothing on stage?

At one point I was very set

on African clothes but these
days I do.
What genre of music cant
you stand?
None, actually. Music may be
subjective, but that does not
mean it is genre dependent.
I always nd a good song in
each genre.
Do you still play the piano?
I try to play every day. Apologies to my neighbours!
Has your son shown any
signs of taking up music and
are you teaching him to play
the piano?
He is interested but I am not
the best person to teach him.
He intends to learn some instruments.

You strongly advocate that

artistes use their music
to transform the country
socially, economically and
politically. Do you see yourself as a role model for young
artistes or does it sometimes
feel like a burden?
This is the part that I love
most about music inspiring
and eecting change in our
society and the world at large.
It is never a burden. I feel I
have not done enough and I
am taking it to the next level.
When you are stressed, from
where do you draw your
strength?
From God; my faith is my
rock. I am grounded knowing
that our Father is in control
always.

Do you plan to produce or

collaborate with any other
artistes in the near future?
I am actually learning to collaborate and it is fun. On my
new album, Rebirth, I have
done collaborations with Kidum, Abbi and my long-time
back-up singer and artiste
in her own right, Feli. I will
denitely do another collabo
on a Christmas song of mine,
Sulwe, with a young artiste.
You have achieved so much,
any more goals?
There is much to be done in
our country and region. So
long as ethnic and governance
issues divide people, we will
still have conicts and wars,
and terrorism will continue
to rise, let alone the issues
of global warming and widespread povertyAs artistes,
we are the voice of the people
and we need to get busy and
foster change. The work of
realising a better world never
ends because, as things get
better for a few, it gets a lot
worse for many.

TECH IN BRIEF

HELLO! REDMI NOTE 2

ou cant help but admit

it to yourself: the idea
of Xiaomi is magical,
in the fairytale sense.
Just five years old,
the upstart is quickly
vaporising popular phone brands
in single strokes. Maybe the magic
comes from Xiaomis battle as an
underdog, so well fought, that new
announcements literally cause fear
among power brands. The company
has wreaked havoc in China and
India, stopping many brands dead
in their tracks. Maybe the magic
comes from having Hugo Barra on
board, after luring him from Google.
After all, he has turned Xiaomi into
the powerhouse it is. Chinese device
manufacturers understand one reality
that Western device manufacturers
are in denial of: the market for devices costing $500 (Sh50,500) and
above is slowly dying, and becoming
a niche. So they know that simply
oering equal or better quality for
less than that is the easiest way to
accelerate the change.
It comes at a hefty price. Ask Qualcomm. So, Xiaomi is up again and its
the Redmi Note 2.
Xiaomi has sort of pulled a fast
on on HTC here. There is a agship
called the M9+ that retails for about
$930 (Sh93,930) that comes with the
best features money can buy. One of
the so-called top-notch items is the
actual heart of the phone, the MediaTek Helio X10 chipset, basically,
what makes the phone actually tick.
Now, Xiaomi have taken the exact
same chipset and put it into the
Redmi Note 2, which, for the end
user, means you have a choice of two
ridiculously powerful processors, either the high-end Octa-core 2.0 GHz
Cortex A53, or an even higher end

Octa-core 2.2 GHz Cortex A53. That

is staggeringly mad, but it does not
stop there. All that power is backed
by 2 GB of RAM. You have a choice of
either 16 GB or 32 GB worth of storage expandable by 32 GB through a
microSD card.
Display-wise, you get a 5.5 inch
display with full 1080p HD resolution that is strikingly clear. There are
two cameras, a rear, very impressive
13 MP shooter and a front 5 MP that

is notable for its f/2.0 aperture and

large 1.4um pixels, tech gibberish
for the very serious, especially when
taking pictures in dark surroundings.
For power, you get a removable 3,060
mAh battery that is sort of rare, seeing that device manufacturers dont
want you to ever change your battery.
It supports 4G LTE, has dual microSIMs and comes with 802.11 ac WiFi
support, another novelty on this midrange device, and that makes it an

Mozilla upgrades
Private Browsing
in Firefox
AS THE BATTLE for online privacy rages,
Mozilla is taking the initiative to improve Firefoxs privacy abilities. Mozilla is working on a
new version of Firefox with improved privacy
features, similar to a combination of EFFs
Privacy Badger and Ghostery, two plugins
designed to enhance online privacy. The new
browsers features will be made available
when a user switches to incognito mode
and will enhance its Do Not Track as well as
the new in-built ad-blocker.
Mozilla is currently testing the new browser
with its current Firefox Developer Edition,
and will soon make it available to the public

Aurora on Android.

absolute delight.
But Xiaomi has not stopped there.
It has gone and made this even more
enticing, throwing in an infrared sensor (IR) that will allow you to control
your entertainment centre, your car
stereo and even your home air-conditioning unit, if it has an IR sensor.
In fact, if there is a device with an IR
sensor and an app to control it, you
have the ultimate remote to make it
happen. Xiaomi has got MIUI 7 An-

Dells new
Chromebook 13
looks premium
WHEN GOOGLE introduced the premium
Pixel Chromebook, it raised the prole of
Chromebooks as business tools, though it
came at a princely $1,000 (Sh10,100). Dell
has put together its Chromebook 13, a premium Chromebook but at a more aordable price. The Dell Chromebook 13 will run
on either a Celeron Core i3 or Core i5 processor, with a choice of 2 GB, 4 Gb or 8GB
RAM, as well as 16 GB or 32 GB storage options. Dell has included a 1080p resolution
touch optional display. The Chromebook
also has a single USB 3.0 port, a single USB
2.0 port and an HDMI port. The Chromebook is expected to run for 12 hours on a
single charge. Its shipping on September
17 and the top-of-the-range version will set
you back around $900 (Sh90,900).

BLACKBERRY IS FINALLY putting its

security skills to good use with the introduction of BlackBerry Money, a new
mobile wallet. BlackBerry has partnered
with PayPal to integrate PayPal into its
popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM),
eectively allowing any two users with
BBM and PayPal to send each other
money. The integration means that BBM
users will not necessarily have to install
PayPal into their device and will simply
click on an icon in BBM and eect the
payment, turning BBM into a secure wallet. The feature is currently being tested
in Canada and is expected to be rolled
out globally for BBM on Android, iOS and
BlackBerry devices.

droid to run on this, with one exceptional feature. It comes with a virtual
SIM that enables aordable roaming,
but only for data, in 36 countries.
Obviously, this feature is currently
aimed at the good people of China
who travel for business, but any operator, including those in Kenya, can
exploit this feature and drop the price
of data for their business travellers.
But Xiaomi has killed perfection.
While it has gone and built it with
arguably the most powerful chipset
coming out of China, it has cut
corners in weird places, some that
dont even make sense. For instance,
the microSD card reader does not
read SD cards beyond 32 GB, for
no apparent reason. Or maybe not.
Barra has expressed some disdain for
phones with microSD cards, which
might mean Xiaomi could be exploring pushing more online storage
solutions. However, what does make
sense is the exclusion of the Near
Field Communication (NFC) chip,
which kind of points this to being a
developing market device where NFC
payments are still largely unheard of.
On paper, this phone looks the part.
When you get your hands on one, it
actually does feel the part, and comes
in the funky, neon-like colours Xiaomi
is famous for. What does it all come
down to, seeing that it has agship
looks and guts? The 2 GHz version
with 16 GB storage is currently shipping at $125 (Sh12,625) while the 2.2
GHz with 32 GB storage is shipping
a $160 (16,160) and no, that isnt an
April Foolprank. See, there is something magical about Xiaomi for, with
this device, it has earned applause yet
again. It is that simple.

Her Story is a brave

and unheralded type of
video game which allows the gamer to probe
alibis, chase after all
sorts of unveried leads
and validate theories
on a crime allegedly
committed by a widow
who doubles up as the
games unwilling narrator.
In this audacious
video game, the gamer
goes through archives
of videos and case les
of a woman talking to
the police about the her
husbands murder.
As a guest to the
police database, you attempt to gure out what
happened to the victim
by ploughing through
endless evidence.
Everything in this
game matters, from the
suspects alibis when
she speaks, to her body
language.
They all add to the
huge intrigue and uncertainty of the story
that unravels before you.
There is an inconceivable
mystery that surrounds
the plot of this game
from the onset, such
as why are you logged

into the database as a

guest and not a cop.
Why would you be
interested in the investigation videos long after
the investigation has
been closed? Nothing
is what it seems to be in
Her Story, and it is difcult to pinpoint what is
relevant in the investiga-

tion. So you will often

be required to bank on
your sixth sense and
hope that eventually, it
will help you solve the
puzzle.
This is the perfect
video game for the intellectual mind. It lets you
dig deep into the world
of copious notions and

unproven leads, giving

endless possibilities as to
the theories, only to slap
you in the end with an
eerie conclusion. It has
a refreshing originality
even in its simplicity and
is a game I would highly
recommend.

THE MOVIE: TERMINATOR GENISYS

Rating: 5/10
Genre: Science Fiction
Release Date: July 1, 2015
Length: 2 hours 6 minutes
Director: Alan Taylor
Main Actors:
Arnold Schwarzenegger as
Guardian/The Terminator
Jason Clarke as John Connor
Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor
Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese
THERE IS NO DENYING that the
Terminator franchise is arguably
the biggest highlight of Arnold
Schwarzennegers acting career.
Terminator Genesys is the latest attempt at salvaging the remaining
crumbs of star power that Mr Ill
be Back has to oer. In this installment, Kyle Reese is sent back to
the past by John Connor in the year
2034 to rescue Sarah Connor from
Synets terminators. But when he arrives, he meets The Terminator, Sarahs loyal guardian terminator, and

nds out that there is more to the

mission than just saving one young
girl; he also has to get back to the
future and save the world from total
annihilation. By now you can tell
that there is nothing new to the plot,

apart from the highly intensied

time twists and love story angle. If
you missed out on the rst Terminator movie (which is easily the best
that ever was), then you must have
seen any of its sequels during the
past 30 or so years. The only unfortunate bit is that the sequels seem
to dwindle in plot quality as they
increase in number. Of course, this
particular installment was highly
anticipated because the original Terminator was making a come-back
into the franchise. The most notable
aw, however, is the lack of a main
protagonist.
It is only during the last 20 minutes that The Terminator emerges
as the true hero (and rightly so) by
pulling o his awe-inspiring acts of
self-sacrice.
But beyond this, we have a rushed
mash-up of geeky science ction,
soap opera drama and unnecessary
characters that pop up and disappear with quirky lines every now
and then.
