He said he took the action after the Labour ministry appointed ofcials to negotiate with his team over the dispute. Dialogue has prevailed because the ministry has appointed three ocials to the negotiating table with the management, he told a group of workers at the port. But some of the workers claimed their ocials beat a retreat at the request of a local politician. The officials have not been given a negotiation date with Labour ministry arbitrators as Mr Sang alleged. It was the MP who asked them to stop misleading workers because if they went on strike they would be sacked, said a worker who asked not to be named for fear of victimisation.

Additionally, the team will advise and supervise all investigations and prosecutions of post-election violence cases. Recently, Mr Tobiko said only 50 of the 500 cases that had been taken to court were still pending. About 250 cases resulted in convictions, while suspects in 130 others were acquitted for lack of evidence.
Cases withdrawn
The rest were withdrawn. Mr Tobiko said the investigations had been complicated by victims who abandoned their cases and chose to pursue reconciliation and forgiveness. Early this year, the International Criminal Court indicted four Kenyans over the post-election violence. They are Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, former head of Public Service Francis Muthaura, Eldoret North MP William Ruto and radio presenter Joshua Sang. Charges against two others, Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey and former police commissioner Hussein Ali, were dropped.

CEREMONY | Bone of contention following claim that the banns were skipped
REACTION

newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com t was a bold new start for Kenyas top Anglican cleric when he exchanged wedding vows at a private ceremony at the Coast. Two weeks ago, Archbishop Eliud Wabukala wedded the Rev Rhoda Luvuno in St Peters Church in Nyali, Mombasa, at a ceremony presided over by Mombasa Diocese Bishop Julius Kalu. The Rev Luvuno previously worked in the Nairobi. Her husband is a father of ve adult children had been a widower since 2010. While the remarriage of Archbishop is supported by some of the clergy and the ock, others are critical of the union. Those who support the prelate argue that it was his right to have a wedding the way he did privately. Bishop Beneah Salala of the ACK diocese of Mumias said those raising issues should respect the top clerics private life. Bishop Salala said Archbishop Wabukala had informed all the bishops of the church about the way he wanted to conduct his marriage without anything to hide.

TERROR ATTACK | Police hold suspect, who was at the scene a few minutes before his bus was to leave for Nairobi
Kenya has been hit by a series of grenade and IED attacks targeting civilians and security forces since its army rolled across the Somali border in October last year to ght the Al Shabaab militia group.
October 24, 2011 One person is killed and 13 others are injured in a grenade attack at the OTC bus terminus on Racecourse Road, Nairobi. Elgiva Bwire Oliacha alias Mohamed Seif, was later arrested and jailed for life for the attack. Hours later, after the OTC attack, another grenade was hurled into Mwauras Bar, o Mfangano Street in the city centre. November 5 Two people are killed and ve seriously injured following a grenade attack on Garissas Pentecostal Church. A witness said two grenades were hurled into a house next to the churchs main entrance. One of the victims died instantly while the other died at Garissa provincial general hospital as doctors were attending to him. November 24 Three people are killed and scores wounded in twin grenade attacks in the border town of Garissa. The attacks at congested places in the town occurred at about 8pm, within hours of similar attacks targeted at security forces in Liboi and Mandera where a soldier was killed in a landmine blast. Two people were killed when a grenade was hurled at Holiday Inn where people were watching news. The third person died on a congested street known as Ngamia Road near a church. Twenty-seven people were wounded in both explosions, 12 of them seriously, police said. December 5 Another police ocer was killed by an IED at Dadaab on December 5, and on 19 and 20 other blasts occurred killing another ocer. Also, on December 12, an IED went o in Wajir injuring an intelligence ocer and several others.
On January 11, at least seven people, including three Administration Police ocers were killed when suspected Al Shabaab militants attacked a police camp in Gerile division, Wajir. The attackers also stole a cache of assorted rearms. They rst opened re and also used an explosive device. They also burned down the police post and seized two government ocials.

He was to depart for Nairobi at 10pm, just a few minutes after the incident. We are connecting him with the incident, said a police ocer close to the investigation. In Nairobi, police commissioner Mathew Iteere said: When our officers went to the bus station they found his luggage which had a magazine loaded with eight rounds of ammunition. We also got a laptop from him, which we are analysing, he added. But Mr Yahya pleaded his innocence in an interview with the Nation, saying he did not know why he was arrested. I was walking towards Mwembe Tayari when I heard the rst blast on my left side. Then a second one in quick succession which hit me. It happened so fast, in a ash of a second, and I suddenly found myself on the ground, he said. He went on: A few metres from me, a soldier and a watchman were also injured by the grenade.

DANCE | Sudanese remember Garang
BY RICHARD MUNGUTI
24-year-old miraa vendor has been charged with last months city church grenade attack, which left one person dead and scores injured. Mr Ibrahim Kibe Kagwa (right), who was arrested on Wednesday at Ngara while buying miraa, was produced before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Esther Maina yesterday under tight security. Mr Kagwa faced seven counts of causing grievous harm to Shalom Mulinge, Stephen Mulinge, Ezekiel Muthini, Julia Njenga, Joseph Mbogo and Leonida Ngige at Gods House of Miracles in Ngara, Nairobi, on April 29. He was also charged with being a member of AlShabaab.
The suspect, who was not represented by a lawyer, denied seven counts of causing grievous harm and engaging in organised crime. He applied to be released on bond. Prosecuting Superintendent Bridgit Kanyai did not opposed
the suspects request asked the court to impose stringent terms. Ms Maina directed Mr Kagwa to avail three sureties of Sh500,000 each to be examined by the court before he can be released from custody. Besides the bond with sureties, the magistrate also ordered the suspect to deposit a cash bail of Sh500,000. The case will be mentioned May 31.

Push claims through AG denies taking mining insurers, says Raila Bill to House
BY NATION REPORTER BY NATION REPORTER
The Attorney-Generals oce yesterday denied allegations of ignoring the Constitution Implementation Commission before presenting a Bill in Parliament. The State Law Oce was reacting to claims by CIC chairman Charles Nyachae that it had bypassed the commission over the Mining Bill. Head of Public Communications Mulei Muia, in a statement, yesterday said the oce had established that no such Bill is before Parliament. Neither this oce, the concerned ministry nor the CIC has forwarded any such Bill to Parliament, the statement read. On Tuesday, CIC chairman Charles Nyachae said his team was overlooked in the drafting of the Mining Bill. He said they had asked to be given the Bill to peruse last year but did not receive it. We are surprised to see it before Parliament yet we have not made our contribution, Mr Nyachae said, adding that there was a persistent eort to sideline his commission in violation of the Constitution. Mr Nyachae said there were glaring Constitution issues in the Mining Bill that needed to be addressed before MPs debated it in Parliament. Prime Minister Raila Odinga yesterday warned that the push for compensation for disasters using public funds had been taken too far to an extent that it had become irresponsible. Mr Odinga told Parliament that the country had a comprehensive disaster management policy, and warned that issues of claims for injuries and property loss would be handled through laid down procedures. You keep saying the government should compensate you. Where is the government going to get the money? Compensation is done through insurance companies, said Mr Odinga. He made the remarks in his weekly address to the august House following a question from Mr Ntoitha MMithiaru (Igembe North) on the countrys strategy, policy and costs of managing the disasters. The raging floods, the PM said, had caught the government napping. Floods came abruptly, but the government is coping with it, said Mr Odinga. MPs, including Yusuf
Hassan (Kamukunji) and Rachel Shebesh (nominated) said the problem with disasters in Kenya had nothing to do with policies, but with the ill-equipped and slow responses. Ms Shebesh added that there were five plots for fire hydrants in Nairobi City that had been grabbed hampering the eectiveness of the re department in tackling res in the city. Mr Odinga promised to investigate the land grabbing of such crucial sites. The PM also insisted that the ban on encroaching in forests was still in place. You cannot live in a forest and not destroy it, said Mr Odinga.
You keep saying the government should pay you. Where is the government going to get money?

In Bumula District, three family members, among them a six-month-old baby, were killed after the wall of their house collapsed at Myanga.

He told farmers who have yet to plant their crops that it might be too late as the cold spell that follows the rainy season may aect crops.

Those in their support say the groupings will enhance cohesion amongst various communities in the country, make politics grow, help bring about development amongst others, said Mr Handa. Nyanza Province at 74 per cent, had the highest number of those opposed to the ethnic alliances, followed by Nairobi (69 pc), Western and North Eastern (68pc), Coast (65pc), Rift Valley (58pc), Eastern (55pc) and Central (53pc). Central Province at 24 per cent and Rift Valley 17 per cent had the highest percentage of those in support of the tribal groupings. Prime Minister Raila Odinga, at 32.7 percent, is still the man to beat if elections are to be held today, with ODM maintaining its lead as the most popular party in the country at 34.9 per cent. Mr Kenyatta was second with 15.2 per cent of respondents saying they would vote for him. Others were William Ruto (7.9pc), Musalia Mudavadi (7.1pc), Kalonzo Musyoka (7pc) and Martha Karua (5.3pc).

The cash Temporary Speakers would have received if law was passed
The Bill carries amendments to laws that are not as substantial to warrant a specic Bill. It is our commitment to proceed within the Constitution and the law. If theres any question, even a borderline issue, well have those issues set aside, said Prof Muigai. More consultations over the Bill will take
place at the weekend, the AG added. Mr Odinga has rejected proposals in the Bill describing them as unconstitutional. In a letter to the AG dated May 14, Mr Odinga described as unconstitutional amendments to the National Assembly (Remuneration) Act through the Finance Bill 2011 that raised the gratuity paid to each MP to Sh3.7 million from the previous Sh1.5 million. They were done in contravention of the mandate of the Salary Commission, the PM said. The Bill proposes to amend the Remuneration Act to expand categories of members who may receive allowances to include the Deputy Speaker and members of the Speakers panel. Yesterday Mr John Mbadi (Gwassi) said the Finance Act, 2012, which was passed and includes Sh3.7m gratuity, will also have to be revisited. Mr Mbadi said that though the matter had been discussed and approved by Parliament, the AG needed to make it clear that there are no constitutional issues.

Former Education permanent secretary James ole Kiyiapi and former Nairobi town clerk Philip Kisia have already resigned to concentrate on their campaigns. Livestock PS Kenneth Lusaka has indicated that he will leave in August

Other public servants said to be interested in plunging into politics include Communications Commission of Kenya chairman Philip Okundi, Government spokesman Alfred Mutua, permanent secretaries Emmanuel Kisombe and John Lonyangapuo and Administration Police commandant Kinuthia Mbugua.
The High Court is yet to rule in a case in which two voters want section 43(5) of the Elections Act suspended until the election date is determined. The petitioners, Mr Charles Omanga and Mr Patrick Njuguna argue that the election date is still unknown and that it is therefore unconstitutional for public servants to leave before the date is known. The petitioners also take issue with provisions of the same law, which, they allege, spares some State ocers from the requirement to resign. Section 43(6) exempts the President, Prime Minister and MPs. Last December, former head of the Civil Service Francis Muthaura issued a circular reminding all civil servants planning to have their names on the ballot in the General Election to resign by January 14. The circular was based on the assumption that polls would be held on August 14, this year, as spelt out in the Constitution.

The lobbyists, however, want the selection repeated. They argued that the manner in which the selection panel shortlisted applicants was discriminatory and violated Article 27 of the Constitution. According to the activists, the names forwarded to the President could not form the basis of consultations with the PM and the selection was discriminatory on the

They argued that the National Police Service would suer a credibility crisis due to changes in its top leadership, which could be seen as cosmetic if the nominated people were allowed to sit in the commission. They noted that the PM had objected to the names, saying he was not consulted and it would only be fair and just if the appointments were quashed and new people chosen. Once in place, the National Police Service Commission will appoint the inspectorgeneral of police and two deputies. On Tuesday, the parliamentary Committee on National Security rejected President Kibakis nomination of Ms Masoud to head the commission.

The committee said Ms Masoud was not appropriate and recommended Ms Jean Njeri Kamau, Mr Murshid Mohamed and Mr Johnston Kavuludi for the post.

positions of commissioners to competitive recruitment taking into consideration gender parity, regional balance and public participation. In a suit led in court through lawyer Anthony Oluoch, the activists argue that the appointments were made in total breach of the law. The purported appointments is an abuse of power by the President since he ignored constitutional provisions that demand involvement of the people in the process of policy-making, accountability, transparency, fair competition and equal representation, said Mr Oluoch. He said the appointments were in bad faith since they were done before the creation of county governments. The lawyer submitted that Section 17 of the Sixth Schedule

Under pressure
The suit joins a growing list of pressure on President Kibaki to rescind his decision to appoint the county commissioners. Prime Minister Raila Odinga has rejected the appointments saying he was not consulted while the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution said they should be done afresh because the President did not follow the spirit of the law in making them. A section of the Cabinet and MPs has also opposed the selection, arguing that they were not fair to all tribes and women, accusing the President of giving them a raw deal.
Abuse of power
allows the national government up to ve years to align the provincial administration, and there was no justication for the rush to make the appointments prior to the enactment of a Devolved Government Bill. According to him, the legal framework for the creation of devolved government had not been passed into law since the President rejected the County Government Bill. He added that the Presidents appointments to the extent that they were done without consultation with the Prime Minister were a breach of the National Accord, which demands that the President consults the Premier before making any major decision that aected the Coalition Government. Lady Justice Cecilia Githua certified the application as urgent and set the hearing for May 24.

How Kenyas Asian and white tribes can save the orphan Nairobi county A
keen-eyed government analyst recently noted that; If we are not careful, Nairobi could die. It could die, he said, from not being loved enough. The threat to Nairobi started in 2010 when Kenyans voted in a new quite progressive Constitution. Partly to deal with the problems that led to the post-election violence of 2008, the Constitution radically devolved powers to 47 new counties. Kenyans have immersed themselves with lots of ethnic energy into the counties. There are several county professional associations that have been set up to discuss how to make counties a success, and to x problems that have been neglected by governments in Nairobi for decades. There is only one county, the analyst said, that has no serious professional associations formed to champion its cause. That county is Nairobi. He said there was a danger Nairobi might become an orphan county. Because of the way it has evolved, Nairobi like many cities elsewhere has no undisputed tribal owners. That said, I think the owners of Nairobi should be those people who do not live in another (upcountry) part of Kenya in large numbers, and call that area home. In that sense, the Nairobi city natives should be Kenyas Asian and white tribes. However, these Asian and white Kenyan tribes have been marginalised in politics, except occasionally in Kisumu, partly out of their own choice, partly out of the fact that they are too few to matter when ethnic voting is what decides who gets what. The problem for the Kenya Asian tribes is that too many of their young people emigrate to places like Canada. The white tribes well, it seems they have never understood the political benet of polygamy and having many children. I am told they have marginalised themselves in Kenya politics because they simply havent produced enough! More seriously, though, I can see scenarios in which Nairobi booms in the new devolved system. The folks, who should worry are the other Eastern African capitals, especially Dar es Salaam, Kampala and Kigali. The problem for Nairobi is that because of its system in which rather ordinary councillors elect the city mayor, most of its mayors of recent years have been part street-thugs, part reckless populists, and hostage to the working class vote in the large estates and slums Often, the mayor is the chap whose councillors threw chairs furthest, and landed the most serious blows during elections. City politicians have, therefore, been largely antibusiness. The champion of Nairobis modernisation has been the Central Business District Association, and the government not its elected leaders. The Nairobi County could overturn the old order in several ways. The governor will mostly likely be a deeppocketed chap who plays golf at Muthaiga or Karen clubs, and is from the upper crust of Kenyan society; fellows like former Mumias Sugar CEO Evans Kidero, who is one of those running for the governorship. Past elections in Nairobi used to be inuenced signicantly by the tens of thousands of voters bused in from up-country by crooked politicians. Now, with governorships and senatorships at stake in the counties, the busing of voters will most likely go
ormer Liberian President Charles Taylor and former Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic appeared yesterday in separate courts at The Hague. Mr Taylor, 64, was in the dock to plead his case at the Special Tribunal for Sierra Leone, which found him guilty of war crimes last month. His landmark conviction was the rst against a former head of State by an international court since the Nuremberg trials. The warlord turned president of Liberia was found guilty on all 11 counts, including murder and rape committed by rebels in neighbouring Sierra Leone. In another courtroom, Gen Mladic stood accused of waging a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing and Europes worst massacre since World War II. The trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia heard how Gen Mladic, 70, was responsible for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the Balkan countrys brutal 1992-95 war. Mr Taylor and Gen Mladic were once among the most powerful men in their respective domains. Theirs is a powerful lesson that impunity does not pay and that justice knows no bounds.

The problem for the Kenya Asian tribes is that too many of their young people emigrate to places like Canada
down. The incentive is to keep the voters back home so they can vote people into the plum county jobs. The eect of this will be far-reaching. The vote of Kenyas Asian and white tribes, and the so-called tribeless elite, will now matter more. These will form the new swing votes. The Nairobi governorship could be decided in Westlands, Parklands, Muthaiga and Lavington, not Kibera or Embakasi. Fisticus though, will still settle the mayorship. The Nairobi County will have some things other East African capitals dont a governor and assembly with real powers to make policy for the city economy, and to enter into lucrative business partnerships with cities and businesses abroad. The county can oer business better incentives to set up than its neighbouring capitals, and can pass laws on, for example, recycling that can, nally, grow a viable green urban economy. Unless the capitals in the region respond with radical remakes of how they are governed, Nairobi could run away with the biscuits. But for it to do that, it might need to be an orphan free from the parochial forces of upcountry politics. cobbo@ke.nationmedia.com /twitter@cobbo3.
he report by the Kenya National Commission on Realising Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights is a milestone. However, the manner in which the Commission has addressed two controversial issues the rights of sexual minorities and rights of men and women who engage in sex work has done a disservice to both the communities. The fact that the Commission links these two issues in its recent report, to the extent of labelling sex workers as a sexual minority group and recommending legalisation in both contexts, misrepresents the human rights framework in relation to both issues. First, the Commission confuses the issue of what constitutes a sexual minority under international human rights principles by mentioning sex workers in that chapter. Sexual minorities are minorities based on immutable characteristics of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Yogyakarta Principles is the seminal international document that addresses how human rights apply to those who are minorities based on their sexual orientation and gender identity; that document denes these terms in the following manner.
Human rights body erred by claiming sex workers are a persecuted minority T
application of the international human rights framework to sex workers. This is because sex workers are not a minority in any recognised international human rights framework. Sex workers, indeed, suer discrimination and are marginalised in society, but being a sex worker is not an immutable characteristic in the same category as gender identity, race, or ethnicity. It is a livelihood, not an identity that can never be altered. While the issues are clearly linked, given that some GLBTI individuals are forced to engage in sex work because they are discriminated against in the professional sector and are thus unable to access other employment, declaring sex workers to be a sexual minority and linking them in the way that the Commissions report and the media have done confound two completely separate issues. Sexual minorities deserve protection from discrimination in all spheres of public life. Same sex couples should be able to engage in consensual sexual behaviour and carry out fullling personal relationships without fear of state sanction for private behaviour. The international human rights framework is clear on that and we laud the Commissions recommendation that samesex relationships should be
Sex workers are not too eager to practise their business publicly
Sexual orientation is understood to refer to each persons capacity for profound emotional, aectional and sexual attraction to, and intimate and sexual relations with, individuals of a dierent gender or the same gender or more than one gender. Gender identity is understood to refer to each persons deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at birth, including the personal sense of the body (which may involve, if freely chosen, modication of bodily appearance or function by medical, surgical or other means) and other expressions of gender, including dress, speech and mannerisms. Nowhere do the Yogyarkarta Principles discuss the
decriminalised. Sex workers also deserve protection in all spheres of public life, but not because they are sexual minorities. They deserve protection because they are human beings with rights to be free from violence and exploitation. Many sex workers are heterosexual, a group that does not constitute a persecuted minority. LGBTI individuals are persecuted regardless of their profession. Linking decriminalisation of same-sex relationships and sex work, through labelling of both as sexual minorities undermines the understanding of minority rights and gives short-shrift to the incredibly complex issue of addressing sex work. Moreover, linking the issues in the report has led to a media restorm that perpetuates stereotypes that all homosexuals are sex workers or that sexual orientation and sex work are somehow inextricably linked. The Commission needs to continue to address the important concerns of sexual identity, but it must do so in a manner that addresses each issue on its own terms and that reects the international human rights framework. Ms Young and Mr SingOei are international human rights law attorneys.
Nothing scares a wimpy government more than a wellinformed middle class who can, whenever necessary collectively push it into action
many thought are foreign-owned Naivas, Tuskys, Kasmart, Mathai and Maguna Andu. Notice the trend: The young Kenyan in the neighbourhood turns his kiosk into a 10x10 supermarket. Another puts up a green house in her plot and starts supplying fresh vegetables. This is the uniqueness of our middle class they invest. In many countries, they buy cars and other adult toys. Historically, the middle class has been known as the engine of economic growth, election arbitrators and the guardians of a nations social values. Many companies have learnt the hard way that you ignore this consumer segment at your peril. So have politicians. They decide the outcome of elections as they form the bulk of voters. Pushed to the wall, they are veritable political gadies. Socially, they dene what is fashionable to say, wear and
eat, and hence its members are also the bastions of social values. They distinguish themselves from the class below them by their general willingness to rely on their own enterprise rather than that of the state. They refuse to wait for government freebies, for they know well that the easiest way to slip back into poverty is to wait for the government to do anything. Most of them are youthful, welleducated but veritable risk-takers. Condense all these denitions and conceptions, and you see why the middle class hate the tunaomba serikali culture. Why do the poor beg the government? Mzee Jomo Kenyatta famously told Kenyans: Hakuna cha bure (no free things). In a foul mood, he would growl: Serikali sio mama yenu! Yet, despite this, the political economy of dispensing jobs, land, tenders and the power that comes with them ensured the entrenchment of the tunaomba serikali mentality. This servile culture serves any thieving government well. Nothing scares a wimpy government more than a wellinformed middle class who can, whenever necessary collectively push it into action. Governments hate change and regularly must be put on their toes.

Innovative exhibits not repetitive but modied
The just concluded National Science Technology and Innovation Week received good coverage, especially from the Nation Media Group. Twice, the Daily Nation wrote editorials on the event. NTV interviewed Prof Shaukat Abdulrazak, the CEO, National Council for Science and Technology and two innovators. The fact the week grabbed prominence in an environment of intense political activities and corruption scandals, suggest something good must be taking place in our scientic and technological arena. But Daily Nations editorial (May 14) Turn new ideas into products for market could not be further from the truth. The only point of diversion we have with the editorial is the view it took on repetitiveness of the exhibits. Though some innovations have appeared in the past exhibitions, there is always something new in them every time they are exhibited. Take Morris Mbetsas mobile phone car security system. In the past, Mbetsa was exhibiting to explain how it works. Now he exhibited to explain as well as sell the product. It should be appreciated from policy and advisory level that the Ministry of Higher Education and the National Council for Science and Technology have played their role satisfactorily in organising the week. But we thank the Nation for creating awareness on local innovation. ARGUT KIPTURGO, Public Communication, Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology

TALKING POINT
Let Githae know that no moneys too much to pay for democracy
ith due respect to Finance minister Njeru Githae, I am dissatised with the way he is handling the General Election budget. Kenya is still smarting from the aftermath of the 2007 elections, and if we will have credible elections in 2012 (or is it 2013?), then we must be prepared to pay for it. All the ministries concerned have, unfortunately, been harassing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission in one way or the other. When its not uncertainty of the date for the General Election, its the slashing of their budget for the event. I cannot avoid the feeling that we are giving Issack Hassans team a raw deal. The election date itself has been controversial. To have not arrived at a decision by this time and to expect Hassan to deliver a new set of elected persons come December 2012 is in itself grave. If we do not give the elections manager enough time to give us a platform for credibly electing our representatives, then to later say that the elections were unsatisfactory would be worse than hypocrisy on our part. We hounded former ECK chairman Samuel Kivuitu out of oce in disgrace because we stage-managed the process against his advice, and I do not think we wants to repeat the same mistake. The bigger part of the blame for the botched 2007 elections was not Kivuitu. If we give Hassan a awed
SHORT TAKES
ADO ABOUT NOTHING: I share in the disappointment over President Kibakis apparent lack of respect for the Constitution he swore to defend. He has broken the law not once, not twice but many times. Every time, there is an uproar from the other coalition partner not that the PM always respects the law as witnessed recently when he appointed the 47 commissioners. What puzzles me is the speed at which diehards move to defend his glaring mistakes. Now that we know how he operates is it worth all the noise? PHILLIP O.K. OKUMBA, Rongo DUMB LEADERS: If you have not delivered as an MP, how do you expect to be voted in as governor? There are leaders who are not yet aware of the enlightenment level of Kenyans. I seek to assure them that it is actually higher than they imagine. If you visit many of our constituencies today, you will be met by a lot of complaints ranging from bad roads to lack of electricity, water and security. You will even hear the constituents say they only saw their MP during the last campaign period. Then they seek to be governors! MERCY KIMONDO, Nairobi PARTY HOPPERS: Hoppers from one political party to another should seek fresh mandate from the electorate because they have betrayed the party that took them to Parliament and have contravened the Constitution. During the previous general elections, most people did not vote for individual politicians but rather, the party they used as a vehicle. It was the famous three piece suit. However, those people have since betrayed the party and should therefore go back to the voters and get reelected through their new party. SAMWEL BORN MAINA, Kisii CORRUPT POLICE TURNED MR RIGHT: What do the police in Migori town want? It is annoying when all over sudden the police transform from their corrupt act of picking folded notes from conductors to being Mr Right, thereby paralysing transport. The police do not take into consideration the pain they cause Migori County residents who depend on matatus for livelihood. Disorderly conduct along our Kisii-Migori-Sirare route is caused by the police who rst allowed matatus to carry 25 instead of 16 people. Now a simple crack in the window is a grave oence. What disgusting hypocrisy! KASSIM ADINASI, Migori County

A woman casts her vote in 2010 during the referendum voting to approve or disapprove the proposed constitution platform for the elections, I am sure he will perform worse than his predecessor, given the increased number of elected representatives. The second spanner in the works is the slashed budget. I do not think for once that the views of Hassan were considered. I believe this is not in the best interests of the nation. If the outgoing Parliament can give itself gratuity to the levels they have (and I tend to believe that they are doing this because they know most of them, if not all, are going home for good) without any fuss, how about giving Kenyans a platform for credible elections? Do we now want to have protests in future of unpaid clerks, or compromised clerks because they were not sufficiently remunerated, or lack of security personnel because they were not recruited, or poor electoral materials because the standard ones were not procured? Do we want to complain of lack of transparency due to the general eects of a slashed budget? Or do we want to pay for an election whose results we will believe in? I wish to request that the issue of budget for the General Election be treated as a matter of priority. This is the rst time we have elections under a new constitution. We must not mess it up.

The percentage of planted maize that has been lost to disease in the South Rift
he Agriculture ministry has sounded the alarm over a maize disease in the South Rift that could threaten food security. Most farmers in the region, the countrys grain basket, had been aected, permanent secretary Romano Kiome said yesterday. And Rift Valley provincial director of agriculture Philip Ochieng said between 30 per cent and 40 per cent of the planted maize in the South Rift had been lost to the disease. Samples of aected plants have been analysed locally and abroad and the results indicate a combination of pathogens, mainly viruses and fungi, he said. Dr Kiome said symptoms of the disease were mottling, ecking and streaking.

REACTION
Fungal symptoms like chlorosis, necrosis, leaf reddening, discolouration of nodes and brownish-white mould growth on cobs, had also been noted. The permanent secretary said the situation had been worsened by moisture stress, poor soil fertility and heavy infestation of pests such as thrips, aphids, leaf hoppers and stock borers. Dr Kiome noted that the region was critical to food security as harvests from the area come into the market in July and August when the national stocks were at their lowest. He said a team comprising the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service, agro-chemical firms, Egerton University, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute and International Wheat and Maize Improvement Centre had been set up to curb further losses. Dr Kiomes announcement was made in a speech read on his behalf by the director of crop management in the ministry, Dr Johnson Irungu, at a eld day in Singorwet location of Bomet District.

FILE | NATION
parliamentary committee investigating the national health insurers medical scheme scandal starts compiling its report today with indications that senior government ocials will be linked to questionable dealings in the Sh4.2 billion controversy. Details of the one-month Health parliamentary committee hearings appeared to question the roles of Medical Services Minister Anyang Nyongo, and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) board and chief executive ocer Richard Kerich. There were massive questions raised over the Clinix Healthcare Ltd, Meridian Medical Group that were allocated a combined Sh318 million compared to the two referral hospitals, Kenyatta and Moi Referral, that were allocated only Sh7 million. The investigations also revealed that the owner of Clinix Healthcare Ltd, Mr Jayesh Saini, is also the managing director of Gesto Pharmaceuticals Ltd, which has previously been accused of supplying fake drugs to the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency.
lea-type scandals, with some describing Mr Saini as another Kamlesh Pattni. The committee is likely to fault Prof Nyongo and his Public Service counterpart Dalmas Otieno in their role in the scheme, having concluded on Tuesday that they were both running away from responsibility. Why is everybody now running away from any association with a scheme which you were all very keen and excited to roll out? committee chairman Dr Robert Monda asked at the end of the session with Prof Nyongo. Prof Nyongo was on the spot over his ministrys role in jump-starting investigation into the matter, having failed to convince the committee that he instructed relevant authorities to move in and take action. The committee also questioned his links with a city businessman at the centre of the messy NHIF scheme, citing occasions where they had met and interacted before the schemes roll-out.
Agency. Before Mr Sainis appearance, the Registrar of Companies had indicated that her oce didnt have details on the owner of Pharma Investment Holdings. First to raise eyebrows in the investigations was the unearthing of non-existent facilities that had been accredited by the NHIF for public servants, a majority of them belonging to Clinix. Clinix, whose vision is to expand and have over 300 facilities countrywide, according to its proprietor, has rapidly expanded during 2012 acquiring 50 licences for new facilities from a sub-committee of the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. Shockingly, the board is yet to sit down, scrutinise the facilities and endorse the licences, which in essence means all are operating illegally since the board may, upon inspection, cancel the licences. It also means the lives of Kenyans have been put at risk by exposing them to facilities and services whose standards are yet to be conrmed by the body charged with the responsibility. In total, 1,053 licences have been released by the board registrar to various clinics across the sector, without following due procedure. The procedure is that the facilities should have rst been inspected and endorsed before licences are issued. This has led to a key question of whether the board is more concerned about allowing business in the health sector to thrive or safeguarding quality of healthcare service provision. A key observation by the committee now winding up the crucial investigation is that most health facilities taking part in the scheme were ill-prepared for the roll-out, with regard to equipment, sta and accessibility. Of the 50 Clinix facilities that have become operational this year, 21 were licensed in April, 11 in March, 12 in February and 6 in January. Meridian acquired a licence for one facility this year. President Mwai Kibaki has since sacked the NHIF board following a boardroom drama on the fate of NHIF chief executive ocer, Mr Richard Kerich. The new board inaugurated on Monday has assured NHIF contributors that their money is safe after freezing the NHIF accounts of Clinix and Meridian hospitals. However, new CEO Adan A.

The shareholding, in per centage, that Pharma Investment Holdings has in Clinix, whose chairman is Mr Saini. Prof Nyongo was on the spot with Health committee grilling him on his association with Mr Saini
The committee observes that Mr Saini, the owner of Clinix Healthcare Ltd is said to be known to the minister and a frequent visitor at the Medical Services Ministry corridors, although the minister describes him as a businessman like other businessmen who have sought to do business with the ministry. They come asking to do business with the ministry and I have referred them to relevant departments, some to procurement and others to Kemsa, he stated at the Tuesday meeting with the committee. Apart from Clinix, Mr Saini also runs Nairobi West Hospital and Gesto Pharmaceuticals as chairman and director in charge of international business in the rst and as managing directors in the others. Prof Nyongo found himself in a tight position when he was required to explain how Mr Saini managed to land the NHIF deal despite the negative records that Gesto Pharmaceuticals holds at the Pharmacy and Poisons Board.

Prof Nyongo is on the spot with the committee having grilled him on his association with Mr Saini, the owner of Pharma Investment Holdings, the 99 per cent majority shareholder in Clinix. Pharma is registered in British Virgin Islands, a leading oshore tax haven where some of the countrys major scandals have been traced. Clinix which secured Sh202 million in the rst three months of the schemes rollout is one of the private health providers picked by NHIF and the committee believes it enjoyed undue favour owing to connections enjoyed by Mr Saini. It has been a month of interesting, yet rather shocking revelations as the Health Parliamentary Committee delved into the chronology of events that culminated in the implementation of the scheme, pointing to a possible rip-o of taxpayer money. All who have taken part in the investigation have said that in all ways, the scheme meant to provide a comprehensive medical cover to 216,789 civil servants and the disciplined forces was a noble idea and should not be scrapped. However, its roll out has turned out to be something close to a mega scandal, with committee members equating it to the Goldenberg, Anglo-Leasing and Mobite-

He was the root that aided, abetted and maintained alliance, without him, rebel group would have died, says prosecutor
THE HAGUE, Wednesday
onvicted Liberian warlord Charles Taylor accused UN prosecutors Wednesday of paying witnesses to testify against him as he addressed a war crimes court in The Hague. Taylor, 64, was found guilty by the UN-backed court last month for aiding and abetting war crimes. Witnesses were paid, coerced and in many cases threatened with prosecution if they did not give statements, the former Liberian president told the Special Court for Sierra Leone at a hearing ahead of his sentencing on May 30. Dressed in a light grey suit, white shirt and blue tie, Taylor addressed the court for 30 minutes from the witness box -- his last chance to state his case before judges pronounce a sentence, expected to be delivered in two weeks time. Mr Taylor insisted that he pushed hard for peace in the neighbouring country. I was convinced that unless peace came to Sierra Leone, Liberia could not go forward.

And he expressed my sadness and deepest sympathies at the crimes suered by victims and their families in Sierra Leone. Once one of the most powerful men in west Africa, Taylor was found guilty last month of arming and aiding rebels who killed and mutilated thousands of people in Sierra Leone during a decade-long civil war that killed 120,000. In return, rebels of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) paid Taylor in so-called blood diamonds mined by slave labour. In a landmark first judgment against a former head of state since the Nazi trials at Nuremberg in 1946, Taylor was convicted on all 11 counts against him, including acts of terrorism, murder and rape committed by the RUF. The courts chief prosecutor Brenda Hollis recommended he serve an 80-year jail sentence. Mr Taylors critical role in the entire campaign of terror is deserving an adequate condemTO COMMENT ON THESE AND OTHER STORIES GO TO www.nation.co.ke
nation, Ms Hollis told the court today. Mr Taylor was the root that aided, abetted and maintained the alliance: without him, the rebel movement would have died sooner, she added. In response, Taylors lawyers said the demand was excessive and that their client should not be made to carry the blame alone for what happened in Sierra Leones war, which ended in 2001. Peace would not have come to Sierra Leone but for the eorts of Charles Taylor, his lawyer Courtenay Griffiths told the hearing in leafy Leidschendam, just outside The Hague. Prosecutors said they believed their suggested sentence provide a fair and adequate response to the outrage these crimes caused in victims, their families... the Sierra Leonean people and the world at large. The trial heard that children under the age of 15 were abducted and conscripted during the conict, and had the letters RUF carved into their foreheads and backs to prevent escape. The RUF rebels were notorious for hacking o the hands and legs of civilians. (AFP)
The trial, which saw supermodel Naomi Campbell (pictured below) testify she had received dirty diamonds at a charity ball hosted by former South African president Nelson Mandela in 1997, lasted nearly four years. Mr Taylor, Liberias president from 1997 to 2003, had dismissed the charges as lies and claimed to be the victim of a plot by powerful countries. Authorities in Nigeria arrested Taylor in March 2006 as he tried to ee from exile after being forced to quit Liberia three years earlier, ending that countrys own civil war. He was transferred to The Hague in 2006 amid security fears should he go on trial in the Sierra Leones capital Freetown.

CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR SECTOR DIAGNOSIS FOR A SECTOR WIDE APPROACH IN THE POWER SECTOR IN KENYA COUNTRY: KENYA PROJECT: DIAGNOSIS FOR A SECTOR WIDE APPROACH IN THE POWER SECTOR IN KENYA AFD CREDIT CKE1047

South Sudanese board a bus at the airport in Khartoum, as an airlift of up to 15,000 South Sudanese began on May 14, 2012. The rst plane chartered by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in the early morning carried around 160 South Sudanese, some of whom have spent their entire lives in the north.
Expression of Interest The Kenyan Government has received financing from the Agence Francaise de Development (AFD) towards Study and Capacity Building (CKE1047) and proposes to use part of this fund for a sector diagnosis with a view to establishing a Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) in the power sector in Kenya. Background The power sector in Kenya faces major challenges as a consequence of many years of under-investment. The sector is characterized by low connectivity rates (approx. 30% nationally), in particular in rural areas (approx. 18%); insufficient generation and transmission infrastructure to meet current and future demand growth and an insufficiently diversified generation mix with a high dependency on hydropower. This results in extensive blackouts and substantial increases in the cost of production for the country due to the need to operate expensive emergency generators. To address these issues, the Government of Kenya has embarked in an ambitious sector development plan, which is embedded in various planning and programming documents. These include the Kenya Electricity Access Investment Prospectus (August 2009), the Least Cost Power Development Plan (March 2011 update), the Rural Electrification Master Plan (August 2009) and the Kenya Electrification Investment and Policy Prospectus (August 2009). To realize these plans, substantial funds have been committed to the sector by the Government and several development partners. Additional substantial resources will be needed to achieve development targets set for the power sector to enable the Government achieve the objectives of Vision 2030. As these huge financing needs will require involvement of many actors, there is need to employ a sector-wide approach (SWAp) which entails establishing, implementing and monitoring an execution plan which engulfs all aspects of the sector and all sources of financing. Objectives The objectives of this consultancy are to: Carry out a sector diagnosis to assess the power sectors performance and readiness for a SectorWide approach; and To establish a road map detailing the steps needed and the time line for the implementation of a SWAp in consultation with the stakeholders in the sector. Invitation to Consultants The Ministry of Energy now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing the Consultancy Services. Interested consultants MUST provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services. Consultants may associate to enhance their qualifications. Short listing of consultant(s) will be based on the evaluation in the areas shown below: Demonstrate exceptional experience in handling and successful completion of at least three(3) similar assignments during the last ten(10) years Provide detailed background and structure of the consulting firm/ consortium including correspondences with associates and indicating the lead consulting firm.

visiting South Sudanese delegation has asked Zimbabwe to help the new state resolve outstanding issues with Sudan. South Sudan seceded from its northern neighbour last year following a deadly civil war that killed at least two million people. Ms Bangout Amum Aketch, the leader of the three member delegation of South Sudans National Legislative Assembly said her country was committed to the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Accord with Sudan. We discussed the outstanding issues which are happening between South Sudan and Sudan, she said after meeting the Speaker of Zimbabwes House of Assembly Mr Lovemore Moyo on Tuesday. The delegation also met the president of Zimbabwes senate
Mrs Edna Madzongwe. As the ruling party in the South Sudan, we are committed to resolving the outstanding issues peacefully and we are ready to negotiate with Khartoum, she added. Ms Aketch said the two countries were yet to agree on the demarcation of the
over 1,000 kilometre border between the two countries, sharing oil revenue and infrastructure as well as the issue of citizenship. She accused Sudan of being provocative and threatening peace and security. We have many areas they are occupying and they continue to advance into the interior of South Sudan, Ms Aketch said. We are a young nation and rebuilding, so we need support of the people of Zimbabwe who have supported us during our struggle. She also appealed to the African Union to step in to avoid more bloodshed. Last month, former South African President Thabo Mbeki on Saturday evening held talks with Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe on the worsening conflict in Sudan. Mr Mbeki chairs the African Union High Implementation Panel that is mediating between Sudan and South Sudan. President Mugabe has over the years supported calls for South Sudanese independence and Zimbabwe hosted high profile political exiles from that country.

ANARCHY | The collapse of the central government in Somalia left a big vacuum
he Minister for Security and Interior Aairs, Mr Abdisamad Moalim Mohamoud has said that the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia was banning the operations of Abdalla Shideye markets that generate falsied documents. Talking to the 16 district commissioners of Mogadishu, the minister underlined that the government would not tolerate people reproducing state documents. These people forge government documents, said minister. He added that the practice was not acceptable, seeing that the TFG was now delivering all the required documents by the public.
The minister told the DCs that operators of the markets were now falsifying even most recently generated documents by top government ocials. Ever since the collapse of the central government in Somalia in January 1991 operators of Abdalla Shideye markets in many districts in Mogadishu and in upcountry regions produced all sorts of documents in the absence of government agencies. The general public sourced from the markets documents ranging from passports and birth certicates to land title deeds and academic certicates. The minister said that continuation of Abdalla Shideye market practices were posing threat to security and ordered the DCs to ensure total stoppage of the practice.
Bakara market , the largest trading centre in Mogadishu, hosted the biggest and most sophisticated of such markets, enabling document seekers to get readily stamped and certied papers that resembled genuine ones. Meanwhile, Singapores shipping association today welcomed the rst foreign strike against a pirate stronghold in Somalia and urged that the campaign be sustained. Whilst the EU strike against pirate logistics is long overdue, it certainly is a welcome step in the right direction, said Daniel Tan, executive director of

It marked the rst time an international naval force sent to protect the approaches to the Red Sea mounted an attack on pirate assets on land.

Sugar can make you dumb, Organisers ght for Lady US researchers warn
WASHINGTON, Wednesday
Eating too much sugar can eat away at your brainpower, according to US scientists who published a study yesterday showing how a steady diet of high-fructose corn syrup sapped lab rats memories. Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) fed two groups of rats a solution containing high-fructose corn syrup a common ingredient in processed foods as drinking water for six weeks. One group of rats was supplemented with brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids in the form of axseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the other group was not. Before the sugar drinks began, the rats were enrolled in a ve-day training session in a complicated maze. The rats were placed back in the maze six weeks later on the sweet solution to see how they fared. The DHA-deprived animals were slower, and their brains showed a decline in synaptic activity, said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geen School of Medicine at UCLA. Their brain cells had trouble signalling each other, disrupting the rats ability to think clearly and recall the route theyd learned six weeks earlier. A closer look at the rat brains revealed that those who were not fed DHA supplements had also developed signs of resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar and regulates brain function.

key witness in the De La Rue money printing saga cannot be traced even with the help of police, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said yesterday. Mr Boni Khalwale, PAC chairman, said the committee will now have to rely on Central Bank to help trace Mr James Macharia Gikonyo who is believed to have drafted the controversial contracts. We have information that this is the man who drafted the contracts that were to cost the public billions of shillings. We have to get him so that we do not blame wrong people, he said. Appearing for the second time,
CBK governor Prof Njuguna Ndungu said the bank was also unware of his whereabouts but would use the pensions department to trace him. We do not know where people go after working with the bank. Perhaps they are too tired by time they leave that they disappear after retirement, Prof Ndungu said. This disclosure happened as the CBK contradicted former Fi-
nance minister, Amos Kimunya, on several issues he had told the committee in his earlier appearance. The governor discounted reports that the cancelled contract would have led to withdrawal of all the currency as Mr Kimunya had told the committee. He added that the law allowed gradual withdrawal to protect the country from incurring higher costs. Mr Njuguna also said international bidders compete on security features during tendering of currency, while designs remain the copyright of the Central Bank. Mr Kimunya had told the committee that the contract was cancelled partly because it gave De La Rue ownership of the designs and security features, making it impossible for other
bidders to tender. Mr Kimunya has argued that it also meant features on the currency would change every time a different company won the tender to print currency. Mr Njuguna said the bank had maintained the price of printing notes at the same level over the last 10 years, adding that it would be dicult to argue that the country had lost money through interim orders meant to replace defaced notes. We made sure we did not vary the price since 2002 and the interim orders have relied on (the initial) agreed price. We have always advised whenever there was a stock out and the new Constitution has cured this by providing the way forward. We are moving to a more permanent solution, the governor said.
Since it began weakening against the dollar some importers embarked on panic buying thinking it would weaken further

irgin Atlantic is pulling out its operations from Kenya, ve years after its grand entry in the country. The exit will see over 32 sta lose their jobs. The airline cited increasing costs and a challenging economic environment during the past five years in both Kenya and Europe as having contributed to the decision to withdraw the service. In a statement on Wednesday, the airline which mainly operates between Nairobi and London said its last ight will be on September 24, 2012. We have taken the difcult decision to withdraw our services between Nairobi and London. Despite the best eorts of our employees, external factors including the high price of fuel, increasing aviation taxes in the UK and insucient passenger numbers throughout the past ve years have contributed to the decision, said Julie Southern, chief commercial ocer for Virgin Atlantic in a statement attributed to him. Its exit is likely to reduce competition on the London route with carriers such as Kenya Airways and British Airways. But it will be a major blow to eorts by the ministry of Tourism to increase airline capacity on the London route,
which is a major given that it is the main gateway to Europe, Kenyas main source market. Mr Southern said the airline has started a consultation period for its sta employed in Nairobi. These are still challenging times for the airline industry and we have to deploy our aircraft to routes with the right level of demand to be nancially viable, the statement added.

An audit done by Mr Webber Wentzel, the South African auditor that the Capital Markets Authority hired to look into the troubled motor company, found that it had illegal oshore accounts worth more than Sh250 million.

Obure says chiefs wrote the names of their friends, leaving out many genuine displaced persons from the list
BY JACKLINE MORAA AND SIMON SIELE
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com Cabinet minister and a member of Parliament have called for fresh vetting of internally displaced people who benefited from the governments compensation scheme. The leaders claimed yesterday that genuine IDPs had been left out and blamed this on the provincial administration. Public Works minister Chris Obure and South Mugirango MP Manson Nyamweya were reacting to the exercise launched early this month by Special Programmes minister Esther Murugi. The two were speaking in Kisii town. Mr Nyamweya said there were 4,009 IDPs in his constituency but none had received compensation. We ask the minister to thoroughly scrutinise the list of IDPs paid in Nyamira and Kisii , said the MP. The programme was launched in Kisii Stadium and the bulk of Sh50.5 million dispatched to Nyamira and Kisii counties. Each IDP received Sh10,000 and Gucha district had the bulk of the displaced. Mr Obure blamed chiefs and their assistants who compiled the lists of IDPs for the unfairness.

AFRICA WOMENS VOLLEYBALL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS | Hosts cruise into semi-nals
30-minute blackout at the Moi International Sports Centre marred the third quarter-nal of the CAVB African Womens Club Championships even as defending champions Kenya Prisons qualied for the semi-nals. Mafolofolo of Botswana and Algerias Chlef had just served o, with the Algerians leading 8-6, when the 6,000-seater gymnasium was plunged into total darkness, an absolute embarrassment to the guests, who included sports secretary Wilson Langat. Prisons will now play Chlef of Algeria in todays second seminal from 6pm at Kasarani. The match will be preceded by the Kenya Pipeline vs FAP (Cameroon) match. In the Prisons quarter-nal match yesterday, the Kenyans couldnt find the opposition they expected after they tossed Rwanda Revenue Authority in straight sets and qualify for todays semis.
past performances, Prisons, the three-time champions again exhibited top form with wellplaced powerful serves, erce fast-tempo hits and precise defence. At some point, the Kenyans flirted with complacency as the tried all they could to take charge, but the champions took control with unrivaled energy and determination to lead 8-4 and 16-11 at both technical time outs. While seeing some displays of fantastic defence work from Evelyne Makuto, the champions stayed strong and nished the set 25-14. Although, the next set saw RRA come on court with a new found sense of condence and aggression and draw the rst point, the Kenyans matched them in every department and ensured parity when Agala powered home from the sides. Despite getting rare hits from Seraphi Mukantambara, the Kenyan defence seemed to pick up every ball and found gaps in the Revenues passing unit. This and a few service errors from Ernestine Akimanizanye saw Prisons lead 16-5 at the second technical timeout before sealing the set 25-9. Some good communication and teamwork from Prisons took them ahead, opening up a 16-6 lead. With that, Revenues earlier promise in the set had fallen away as the Kenyans upped the pressure and saw out the set 25-11. We started the match slowly because we werent used to the Kasarani courts, but with time, we got used to it, Prisons head coach, David Lungaho, said after the win. We are just focused on our semi-nal and advance from there.

KOgalo throw dozens of chances overboard as they are forced to settle for goalless draw despite playing in front of their vocal fans at Nairobis City Stadium in midweek tie
BY ODINDO AYIEKO

We have played poorer and won. This was just not our day. We created the chances but were a bit unlucky. Now is to work on our mistakes.
Zdravko Logarusic, Gor Mahia coach.
or Mahia missed a dozen of chances as they failed to switch off Western Stima in a Kenyan Premier League game at Nairobis City Stadium yesterday, settling for a goalless draw. And in the top-of-the-table clast at Nyayo National Stadium, Sofapaka consolidated their lead at the top of the table with a 2-1 win over third-placed AFC Leopards (story below).
Gors chances both in the rst and second half left Gor fans and players a frustrated lot. It was not the best of days for KOgalo whose fans came in large numbers despite the game being played in mid-afternoon. Baldwin Ngwa was the rst to miss an open chance with the huge goal yawning at him after he took advantage of a fumble by a Stima defender and the keeper. He hit the ball inches wide in the 20th minute. The defender Ivan Anguyo also left with an open goal mis-
timed his tap and the ball went out from a Kevin Ochieng free kick at 38 minutes. It did not end there. Moses Odhiambo was next to see his shot go agonizingly inches over the bar from a free kick at the edge of the box. At half-time, the scores remained at par, Stima preferring to star at the back and hope for a counter which rarely came their way and Gor Mahia pushing for a goal. Gor coach, Zdravko Logarusic, looked a frustrated man on the touch line and he did not hide it when the half time whistle was sounded, as he remained seated for a few minutes before
joining the rest of the players in the dressing room. Meanwhile Stimas coach Henry Omino remained calm. The second half was equally frustrating, two goal bound shots by Kevin Omondi and George Midenyo being saved o the line and another free kick by Victor Ali hit the upright. Gor coach was happy with the way his boys created chances but disappointed that none went in. We have played poorer and won. This was just not our day. We created the chances but were a bit unlucky. Now is to work on our mistakes, he said. Omino on the other said the game was dicult and a draw was the fairest result.

Arguing out the petition before Mr Justice Emukule yesterday, lawyer Gordon Ogolla, for the applicants, said the government ignored concerns over Mr Matemus integrity during the appointment process. Mr Ogolla said that during Mr Matemus tenure as the chief legal ocer at the Agricultural Finance Corporation, there was rampant plunder, mismanagement and poor lending with his knowledge and approval. As the chief legal ocer, it was with his knowledge and approval that funds were plundered, mismanaged and poorly given out as loans leading to the near-collapse of the once vibrant State corporation, said Mr Ogolla.
Agricultural Contractors Limited on the basis of a land security he (Mr Matemu) knew it had been sold four years earlier. The interested party in this case had in his custody the sale agreement between Rift Valley Agricultural Contractors Limited and Sowet Kenya Limited by the time he approved the loan, he said. Mr Ogolla said the land was sold to repay an AFC loan. He told the court that on the same date, Mr Matemu approved another Sh18 million and Sh19.2 loans to subsidiaries of Rift Valley Contractors although the money, including the Sh24 million, was never paid to the rm. Mr Ogolla said efforts by investigators to nd out in whose name the money was paid hit a snag due to frustrations by AFC and lack of a proper forensic audit. He told Mr Justice Emukule that an inquiry into the matter was opened and that nothing had been done to date. The lawyer also claimed that Mr Matemu personally approached ve MPs at a city hotel asking them to approve his appointment. We have evidence and sworn adavits to prove that he met the MPs and solicited their support he said. Mr Justice Emukule gave the applicant 14 days to serve the respondents and set the matter for mention on May 30.
