overnors yesterday warned
that operations in the counties
may ground to a halt because
MPs had delayed passing the law to
release Sh226.6 billion for devolved
governments.
The counties would neither pay
salaries for this month on time nor

no money in their bank accounts, the

tion. It indeed put into better
perspective the unholy alliance
calculated to undermine and
weaken the Opposition, which
is the constitutional avenue in
the audit of the government.
He said Cord had put on
notice the Jubilee leaders,
who were dining and wining
with leaders of Cord with the
aim of luring them to weaken
the Opposition.
Speaking on behalf of Sen-
ate Minority Leader Moses
Wetangula, Mombasa Sena-
tor Omar Hassan said the
Cord Parliamentary Group
had identied areas of weak-
ness and decided to strengthen
them as its leaders embark on
the push for a referendum to
determine the future of the
electoral commission, the
sharing of revenue between
the national and county gov-
ernments and the security
situation in the country.
We have given everybody
notice that it is either you
support the referendum or
there are avenues that you can
express yourself democratically
within the purview of the Con-
stitution, said Mr Omar.
We have given Mungaro
his dismissal letter and per-
mission to leave and we are
telling anybody else who feels
they can leave to do so. The
Constitution allows one to be
an independent candidate, to
change your party, he said.
He accused some Cord
MPs of wearing the Cord
teams jerseys while playing
for other teams.
If they want to play for an-
other team, let them kit you,
he said.
He said it was unfair to con-
stantly claim that the Coast
region was being victimised,
yet its leaders have been unable
to show that they have a rm
political position.
Mr Hassan suggested that
the dissenting Cord MPs
were working with Jubilee and
have been using harambees to
perpetuate the idea that they
were bringing development to
their people.
The decision (to drop
Mungaro) was taken by the
Cord PG. The Cord PG can
appoint you and when neces-
sary, it can disappoint and,
therefore, it has decided that
we can reorganise ourselves
and if anybody is not satis-
ed with the decision, we have
taken your challenge. Were
ready, Mr Hassan said.
Mungaros removal was only
the rst step of getting Op-
position members in line. He
said other leaders who fail to
support Cords position would
similarly be purged in line with
the Political Parties Act.
Cord decided to act a day
after 20 Coast MPs, joined
by four from the ruling Ju-
bilee Coalition, disagreed
with an earlier resolution by
the joint Cord Parliamentary
Group meeting to replace Mr
Mungaro. The meeting had
asked Coast MPs to pick one
of their colleagues to replace
Mr Mungaro.
Mr Mwadeghu will take
over immediately, the Minor-
ity Leader said in the letter
delivered to the Speaker yes-
terday. The MP who is serving
his second term was said to be
on ocial duty in India.
Addressing a press confer-
ence at Parliament Buildings
yesterday, Suna East MP Junet
Mohammed said the purge has
actually started. Although Mr
Nyenze did not attend the press
conference at Parliament ad-
dressed by ODM legislators,
Omar Mwinyi (Changamwe),
Mr Mohammed, Peter Kaluma
(Homa Bay Town) and Sena-
tor Omar Hassan (Mombasa,
Wiper), his letter signied the
resolve with which the coalition
has taken the matter.
Gideon is just the first
casualty, said Mr Mohammed.
There are other casualties on
the line. We are ready to remain
with 20, 30 members who are
ready to adhere to the aspira-
tions, principles and values of
the coalition.
He also said Cord was ready
for by-elections in areas where
its MPs opt to switch their
party loyalties.
Mvita MP Abdulswamad
Nassir had earlier told jour-
nalists that his colleagues
were opposed to Mr Munga-
ros removal because it was
not done in the right man-
ner. He said the group would
meet again and come up with
a position.
But according to Mr Kaluma,
the position was given to Mr
Mungaro by the Opposition
Parliamentary Group and it
could be taken away on the
strength of a resolution by
the group.
There was no hearing
or interview before he was
given. Cord is now taking that
position back to give someone
who can serve the coalition
better... Its not even about
a fair hearing, Mr Kaluma
said. Honourable Mwadeghu
has also been appointed to
that position in absentia be-
cause we deem as Cord that
he can serve in that position
better for now.
He said Cord had drawn the
line and would rather have ve
people who can serve the coali-
tions ideals than a crowd that
will drag them back.
If you want to mingle, we
are giving you freedom to min-
gle, but out of our coalition,
Mr Kaluma said.
In the statement read by Mr
Mwinyi, the Opposition MPs
said Cord acknowledges and
accords unequivocal respect
to the people of the Coast
region and shares in their
aspirations.
We assure the people of
the Coast region that this de-
cision takes into consideration
the best interests of the Coast
region and the coalition, Mr
Mwinyi said and described the
position taken by the 20 MPs
from the Coast as unfortunate
and in total disregard of the
best interests of the coali-
tion.
On Wednesday, the 20 MPs
had signed a statement criti-
cising Cords decision to drop
Mr Mungaro. The 20 included
Jubilee MPs Ali Wario (Bura,
TNA), Ibrahim Sane (Garsen,
URP), Hassan Dukicha (Galole,
UDF) and Peter Shehe (Ganze,
UDF). Deputy Majority Leader
Naomi Shaban attended the
meeting that preceded the
announcement but did not
sign the statement.
Reacting to the dissenting
MPs yesterday, Mr Mwinyi
said: We nd it suspect that

K
enyans would rather call using
the Safaricom network, bank
at Equity and watch an Arsenal
or Gor Mahia match, a new research
on top brands has revealed.
The QUdal meDAL (Qudal) study
showed that if money was not an issue,
Kenyans would wear Rolex watches
and listen to music from Jaguar, Sauti
Soul and Beyonce.
Researchers from International Cer-
tication Association GmbH (Icertias)
interviewed 1,200 Kenyans aged 15
and above to nd out what products
and services they would go for if
money were not a factor and quality
was the only criterion.
At the local level, Safaricom was
named the top overall brand and
Jaguar was at the top of the list of
the best performer.
Sauti Sol scooped the award for the
best local music group.
Highest quality
David Rudisha topped the best
sportsman/sportswoman, while Gor
Mahia football club led in the category
of best Kenyan club, regardless of
which sport.
Kenyans interviewed in the Qudal
research nominated the following as
the absolute highest quality produc-
ers: Brookside (Category: Milk);
Nescaf (Instant Coee); Delmonte
(Fruit Juice); Keringet (Still Mineral
Water); Fair and Lovely (Category:
Facial Cream); Rolex (Wristwatch);
Nike (Sports Footwear); Equity
(Bank); Britam (Insurance), and
Visa (Credit Card).
Qudal research focuses solely on
experiences and opinions of consum-
ers with a given product or service
and does not consider the market
share, sales or the brand power of a
given product.
The accolade aims to create a
culture in which manufacturer and
service providers strive to deliver
quality in response to the consum-
ers voice.
The Qudal project seeks to draw the
publics attention to the importance
of quality in their daily product and
service selection. It also emphasises
the need for consumers to demand
and expect the highest quality by
training the masses on which brands,
products and personalities to use as
a point of reference.
Research shows which companies
consumers would rather buy from if
they had all the money to spend

paid today, will have to wait until the
money is released.
The chairman of the Council of
Governors, Mr Isaac Ruto, said Par-
liament should take the responsibility
for the paralysis.
MPs delayed passing the Division
of Revenue Bill after failing to agree
with senators on the funding for Level
5 hospitals.
Senators had proposed that the Na-
tional Government spend Sh3.4 billion
from its Budget to fund the hospitals
but MPs wanted the counties to foot
the bill from their allocations.
There was, however, hope by last
evening that the money could soon
been transferred to the counties after
both Houses passed the report of a
mediation committee that found a
middle ground between the MPs
and senators.
The revenue Bill will now be for-
warded to President Uhuru Kenyatta
for assent to give the National Treas-
ury the go-ahead to distribute the
Sh226.6 billion to counties.
Salaries may not paid by today as
it has been the case. If Parliament
passes the Bill by this week, we will
be able to pay by next week. We will,
however, not be able to buy medicine if
we dont get the money immediately,
said Mr Ruto.
However, even if the money was to
be released immediately, governors
will have to contend with County
Assemblies whose budgets have
been rejected by the Controller of
Budget for ignoring directives on
their spending.
It emerged yesterday that Control-
ler of Budget Agnes Odhiambo had
turned down the budgets of 44 coun-
ties for not adhering to the recently
issued caps on spending.
The assemblies have already moved
to court to challenge the directive (see
separate story on Page 5).
This means only three counties have
met the conditions. However, neither
Ms Odhiambo nor Mr Ruto disclosed
which counties had complied.
Earlier, Mr Ruto had criticised Par-
liament for the delay in passing of the
revenue Bill, saying it was unfortunate
that legislators who were entitled
to medical schemes worth millions
of shillings were wrangling on how
to fund public hospitals that were the
only option for poor Kenyans.
Its callous for people with medi-
cal schemes to deny medical care to
Kenyans whose rst and last ports of
call are public hospitals.

lings at its disposal.
Absolved from blame
The Council of Governors absolved
its members from blame over allega-
tions the counties had failed to utilise
billions of shilling in their accounts.
They said the money was already com-
mitted but could not be withdrawn due
to stringent procurement rules.
Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya, who
is the vice-chairman of the council,
said counties had committed the
money since March when the report
was published and that by June this
year, all the cash had been used, leav-
ing the bank accounts dry.

The National Assembly last
evening approved allocation of
Sh226.6 billion to the counties
for the next nancial year, and
for the national government to
give 11 counties hosting regional
referral hospitals an additional
Sh1.87 billion.
The recommendations of the
joint mediation committee were
nearly lost after Cord MPs angry
at their treatment by Deputy
Speaker Joyce Laboso voted to
reject the report.
Some MPs in the Opposition
joined the Jubilee side in calling
for a physical vote, but when the
votes were called in, the motion to
adopt the report was passed 79-3
with six MPs refusing to vote.
President for assent
This means that the Division of
Revenue Bill will now be sent to the
President for assent. This would
unlock the allocation of funds to
the counties, which will then share
it according to the County Alloca-
tion of Revenue Bill.
The County Allocation of Rev-
enue Bill will be considered rst
by the Senate, with the National
Assembly not expected to contest
it because the county allocations
are based on a set formula.
The creation of the mediation
committee was necessitated by the
rejection by the National Assembly
of the Senates amendments to the
Division of Revenue Bill, mainly
concerning the funding for Level
Five hospitals.
When the Bill was passed, MPs
agreed to remove the provision
that some Sh3.4 billion be allo-
cated as a conditional grant for
the 11 hospitals.

M
embers of county assemblies
have challenged a directive
by the revenue commission
that curtails their power to spend
billions of shillings set aside for
counties.
The MCAs, through lawyer Tom
Ojienda, argued that the Commis-
sion on Revenue Allocation and the
Controller of Budget had no author-
ity to direct how counties spend the
funds allocated to them.
Prof Ojienda submitted that the
CRA and the Controller of Budget
lacked any power to impose a ceil-
ing on allocations to county budgets
or, any legal mandate to approve the
budgets.
The respondents, in clear con-
travention of the Constitution, have
written to all county governments
to comply with their new guidelines,
failure to which the Controller of
Budget will not approve withdraw-
als by county governments from the
Treasury, said Prof Ojienda.
The CRA last month issued a di-
rective on budget ceilings to restrict
spending by MCAs and assemblies
following an outcry over wastage of
public funds through allowances and
foreign trips.
Under the new ceilings, the total
cost of funding new structures under
devolved units should not exceed Sh13
billion of the total amount allocated
per year for the executives and Sh17
billion for the assemblies.
The ceilings put a limit on cash
that county executives and assem-
blies can spend in a move meant
to curb misuse of resources and cut
down unnecessary recruitment at the
county governments.
Prof Ojienda, however, argued that
the CRA and the Controller of Budget
had overstepped their mandate by di-
recting the counties on how to spend
their funds.
The mandate of CRA is only to
recommend the basis for equitable
sharing of revenue raised by the na-
tional government to the devolved
government.
The controller of budget is only
mandated to ensure the funds are
released, he said.
The suit seeks orders suspending
the circular issued by the CRA and
an order compelling the Controller of
Budget to release county funds.
Mr Justice Isaac Lenaola directed
them to serve the respondents with
the application before the hearing
today.

The Ethics and Anti-Corrup-
tion Commission is seeking to
have ward reps conduct them-
selves with decorum.
The EACC warned that
Members of the County As-
semblies (MCAs) who engage
in name-calling and st ghts
risk disciplinary action that
could lead to their removal
from oce.
A letter detailing the types
of misconduct and sanctions
that will be meted out has been
sent to the Nairobi County As-
sembly.
On Tuesday, the ward reps
accused the commission and
the government of attempting
to gag them.
The assembly adjourned its
sitting to discuss the letter
that also sets out pre-condi-
tions to be met in the next
30 days. This includes setting
up a Leadership and Integrity
Code which must be signed by
all MCAs.
The clerk is expected to work
with a newly constituted Pow-
ers and Privileges Committee
from both sides of the political
divide to develop the Leader-
ship and Integrity Code.
Nairobi Deputy Speaker
Ken Ngondi (above) said that
even though the commission
was bent on arm twisting them,
they would not budge.
This letter is vague and full
of mischief. We will not take
directives from anyone.
They are giving us time
frames yet we have no budget
to plan for the sensitisation on
whistle-blowing, he said.
Sarangombe Ward repre-
sentative Pius Otieno said
that the communication
negated their privileges to
speak freely on the oor of
the assembly without fear of
prosecution.
He said that the letter was a
means of intimidating the 47
assemblies, by first cowing
Nairobi.
Mr Speaker, for the last two
weeks we have been under at-
tack from commissions that
want to supervise county as-
semblies.
We are independent and we
will not take instructions from
them, he said.
Mr Otieno said that EACC
was demeaning its stature by
investigating name-calling
instead of pursuing millions
of shillings being stolen from
public coers.
Makongeni Ward representa-
tive Peter Imwatoka said that
the letter was as a result of a
debate on powerful govern-
ment ocials linked to land
grabbing last week.
EACC should help us deal
with corruption instead of wait-
ing for a member to speak out
and then write a threatening
letter to this assembly, he
said.
The letter came just two
days after the Nairobi MCAs
implicated powerful politicians
in a land-grabbing case involv-
ing two companies Renton
Company Ltd (404 hectares)
and O Shore company Ltd
(650 hectares).
The assembly said the politi-
cians behind the two companies
had encroached onto land set
aside for a Settlement Fund
Trustee in Ruai.

The date for the new police
recruits to report for training has
been moved from August 5 to Oc-

into corruption allegations.
In a letter read to Parliament by
Majority Leader Aden Duale, the
Police Service Commission said an
inter-agency taskforce had been set
up for the audit and its report was
expected on August 4.
The outcome of this investiga-
tion will inform the commission
on the next course of action, which
may be cancellation and a repeat
where there is proof that things
were not above board, the letter
says.
Claims of corruption
Ocers found guilty of graft will
be prosecuted, it adds.
Mr Duale said the decision was
made in response to an order by
Parliament on Wednesday.
Deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso,
who made the order, yesterday
asked the National Security and
Administration Committee to
continue with its investigations
into the matter.
The House took up the matter
after Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa
alerted it to widespread claims of
corruption, regional imbalance,
nepotism and tribalism in recruit-
ing the 10,000 new ocers.

T
he Opposition reacted with
fury last evening after Ma-
jority Leader Aden Duale
accused Cord of speaking the same
language as Al-Shabaab in opposing
the deployment of the Kenya Defence
Forces in Lamu and asking for their
withdrawal from Somalia.
Deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso ap-
peared to lose control of the House
as the House degenerated into
near-pandemonium, with MPs from
both sides pointing at each other, as
Cord representatives demanded the
ejection of Mr Duale for making the
statements.
Request of the police
The matter started when the Ma-
jority Leader said the sending of
the Kenya Defence Forces to Lamu
County was approved by the Cabinet
on the request of the police.
Long after the House had moved
to another order, Deputy Minority
Leader Jakoyo Midiwo revived the
matter, repeating the demand by
Cord to have Kenyan soldiers with-
drawn from Somalia. We did not send
our boys to Kismayu to collect taxes.
Bring them back, he said.
It was at this point that Mr Duale
asserted that by asking for the with-
drawal of KDF from Somalia, Cord
was echoing Al-Shabaabs demand.
They are speaking the same lan-
guage, he said.
The remark provoked furious re-
sponses from the Cord side, whose
members wanted Mr Duale ordered
out of the chambers as Dr Laboso
declared Mr Duale out of order.
It is on record that we have a
terrorist party. The least you can do
is ask him to withdraw, Mr Midiwo
said.
Dont be silly, Mr Duale replied
before Dr Laboso stepped in and ac-
cused Mr Midiwo of doing the same
thing he wanted Mr Duale expelled
for.
She then ordered that the exchange
between members from both sides be
expunged from the Hansard the
written records of the House.
Earlier, the National Security Com-

response from Cord.

Human suering
When the next matter on the agenda
was called, there were less than 50
MPs in the chambers and business
had to end due to lack of quorum.
Earlier, Mr Duale had informed
the House that the KDF was posted
to Lamu because the attacks there
were widespread and characterised
by extreme brutality, leading to im-
mense human suering.
This necessitated use of equipment
only in the possession of the KDF.
He said the police needed the sup-
port of the KDF and had asked for it
to contain the emergency in a very
limited form.
This would be in the use of aircraft,
a minimal Special Forces unit and the
use of night-vision equipment only
used by the KDF.

The Education minis-
try plans to compel each
nursery to be aliated to
a primary school for easy
transition of pupils.
Children will uncon-
ditionally progress to
Standard One of a related
primary school on attaining
the age of six or having at-
tended a nursery for a
maximum of three years.
The minimum duration
of stay for a child enrolled
in a pre-primary school
shall be one year and shall
not exceed three years, say
the Basic Education Regula-
tions, 2014.
Interviews
A child progressing
from a primary school to a
secondary school will not
be subjected to any inter-
views or pre-qualication
examinations before being
admitted, if the rules are
approved.
The regulations give the
county director of education
powers to take armative
action to enable children
from minority groups and
marginalised areas, and
those with special needs
to be admitted in second-
ary schools.
Schools will be ex-
pected to have records for
every child, their place of
residence and parents
contacts.
For one to qualify to
teach in a pre-primary,
primary, secondary or any
other institution, one will
have to be registered with
the TSC (Teachers Service
Commission) and must
have undergone training,
say the regulations.
Schools and parents will
be forbidden from forcing
their children to repeat
classes.
The rules also make it
an oence for a school to
force a parent to transfer a
student or pupil to another
institution without written
approval of the county di-
rector of education.
No child or learner in an
institution of basic educa-
tion and training shall be
subjected to corporal
punishment, intimidation,
coercion or any other inhu-
man treatment, warns the

A Cabinet Secretary has claimed
that some Kenyans are being
duped into signing for a proposed
referendum by the Opposition.
Interior CS Joseph ole Lenku
yesterday alleged that unnamed
individuals were collecting signa-
tures and identity card numbers
under the guise of a land distribu-
tion plan, yet they were meant for
the Cord referendum.
My oce has received credible
reports of the dubious scheme pur-
porting that the State will issue free
land in places such as Mois Bridge
and Nakuru, he said in statement
to newsrooms.
He, however, did not say whether
anyone had been arrested.
Mr Lenku asked Kenyans to
be careful lest they fall prey to an
extortion ring.
But Cord leaders denied the
allegations, saying the CS should
be concerned about the rising in-
security instead of panicking over
non-existing issues.
Kisumu Senator Anyang
Nyongo and Suna East MP Junet
Mohammed laughed o the claims.
They said Cord had not started
collecting signatures.
We have only formed a team of
experts, said Prof Nyongo. Mr
Lenku must stop this propaganda.
We are not the maa, but a well-or-
ganised political party, he said.
Mr Mohammed said the col-
lection of signatures would be
launched ocially in one of the
counties.

A
court has declined to
stop a welfare society
associated with the
President from processing
child adoption.
Labour Cabinet Secretary
Kazungu Kambi exempted
Child Welfare Society of
Kenya from supervision as
required in the Childrens
Act in a gazette notice dated
October 25, 2013.
The exemption on the soci-
ety, of which President Uhuru
Kenyatta is the patron, has ruf-
ed the feathers of eight other
agencies.
The organisations have sued
the CS terming his order as
illegal and as it may expose
Kenyan children to the risk of
tracking and other forms of
abuse.
The parties traded accusa-
tions before Justice Weldon
Korir when the case came up
for hearing yesterday.
A lawyer representing the
Attorney-General sought an
adjournment on grounds that
she had been unable to get
senior government ocials to
sign supportive adavits.
The aggrieved parties in
their submissions want Mr
Kambis exemption order in fa-
vour of the society quashed.
However, the society said
that since the President is the
patron there is proof that it
has both trust and direct su-
pervision of the highest oce
in the land.
The society has been
receiving direct government
support since it was estab-
lished in 1955 and gazetted
for adoption of children.
The government has been
placing abandoned children on
a regular basis in this society. It
is unlikely that it could provide
support for such a long period
if the agency was involved in
prejudicial activities, lawyer
Kennedy Ogeto said.
He said that the childrens
agency is the first in the
country to lobby for govern-
ment funding. The society got
Sh261 million for recurrent ex-
penditure and Sh300 million
for capital expenditure.
Justice Korir allowed the
adjournment on grounds that
hearing the case without all the
facts would be unfair.

A
law that will discourage
unsuccessful bidders
from using the courts
to delay implementation of the
governments agship projects
is being drafted.
The Public Procurement
and Disposal Act will be radi-
cally amended to introduce a
requirement of hefty deposits
of cash in courts for litigants
challenging tender awards,
according to National Treas-
ury Cabinet Secretary Henry
Rotich.
The aim, he said, was to
stop petty litigation involving
procurement and to increase
eciency in the process.
Parties challenging tender
awards with the Public Procure-
ment Oversight Authority will
incur heavy nancial costs.
To do away with frivolous ap-
peals, you will have to deposit a
percentage of the value of the
tender when challenging the
award. This will show that you
are serious about the matter,
said Mr Rotich.
He said appeals from individu-
als and companies were on the
rise with litigants hoping the
outcome would be overturned
in their favour.
Modern laboratory
The tenders include the
Sh327 billion standard gauge
railway project, the Sh53 billion
Nairobi-Mombasa pipeline,
and the Sh24 billion laptops
for schools project.
Questions have also been
raised over NSSFs Sh7.1 billion
Hazina Towers and Sh5 billion
Tassia projects.
Others include the Sh14.9
billion communications and
surveillance tender awarded to
Safaricom and the Sh1.3 billion
tender for the Kenya Bureau of
Standards modern laboratory
in Mombasa. President Keny-
atta stepped in to end the row
over the railway tender awarded
to China Road and Bridge Cor-
poration.
The project has been hit by
fresh controversy over a Sh3.5
billion tender awarded to Edon
Consultancy International LTD,
Apec Consortium and Third Rail-
way Survey and Design Institute
Group Corporation.
The contract to replace and
expand the Mombasa-Nairobi
pipeline was awarded to Zhakem
International Construction Ltd
while the Public Procurement
Administrative Review Board
suspended the laptops tender
awarded to Olive Telecommu-
nications PVT Ltd.
The decision to award the
Tassia Scheme and the Hazina
Towers projects to China Jiangxi
International Kenya Ltd recently
stirred up a spat between Labour
Cabinet Secretary Kazungu
Kambi and Central Organisa-
tion of Trade Unions (Cotu) boss
Francis Atwoli and Federation of
Kenya Employers chief executive
ocer Jackline Mugo.
Senate Finance Committee
chairman Billow Kerrow said
the changes should include a
requirement for litigants to de-
posit either Sh500,000 or Sh1
million with the courts when
they le contesting suits.
This is to ensure only seri-
ous people, who are ready to
have their money held up go to
court. It would also propose to
limit the time frame for courts
to conclude cases to maybe two
weeks, he said.
Senate Majority Leader
Kithure Kindiki concurred, warn-
ing that the controversies were
coming at a cost to the Jubilee
administration.
Unfortunately, the legal ar-
rangement is costing the Jubilee
Government as it takes a long
time to implement projects
which could be half way com-
plete by now.
But Suna East MP Junet Mo-
hammed warned of existence of
a wider syndicate in the Jubilee
tenders.
The railway tender was
awarded to a Chinese company
and now TSDI which is another
Chinese rm which together with
China Roads and Bridge Corpo-
ration are State corporations can
undertake the supervision, he
said.
National Assembly transport
committee chairman Maina
Kamanda absolved the Jubilee
Government from blame, saying
most of the tenders were proc-
essed by the previous regime.
Yes, there are teething prob-
lems here and there but you
cant blame it all on the Jubilee
regime, Mr Kamanda said.

How the Nation has reported tender issues
BY NATION REPORTER
A Parliamentary team is investi-
gating possible collusion between
the Judiciary and a valuer in the
purchase of a Sh310 million house
for the Chief Justice.
This follows revelations by
the valuer, Ms Nelly Nganga,
that she gave an opinion on the
Runda house after a general as-
sessment.
Her evidence before the Public
Accounts Committee appeared
to conrm a report by the Au-
ditor-General that payment for
the house, owned by a senator,
was done without an authentic
valuation. The Judiciary tender
committee on March 27, 2013
awarded Johnson Nduya Muthama
Holdings a tender for a furnished
house at a cost of Sh310 million.
In May 2013, a Judicial Service
Commission meeting approved
the price on the basis of a valua-
tion and security survey done by
consultants.
Lawyer Andrew Karani for
Muthama Holdings told the com-
mittee the transaction was purely
a business decision.
Whether the procurement was
flawed was never an issue, the
choice of residence was never
faulted, he said. I believe the
company has no case to answer.
The lawyer said the company
had oered two properties and the
Judiciary settled on the Runda one,
which was priced at Sh425 million,
but negotiated downwards.
Committee members claim the
house was bought at twice the
market value and have questioned
how the cost was cut from Sh425
million to Sh310 million.

P
olice say an American teenager
accused of molesting children
in Kiambu County was not ar-
rested in Kenya because he ew out on
the day the report was received.
Mr Matthew Lane Durham was
last week indicted in a US court for
sex crimes at an orphanage near Juja
Town.
Court records say the 19-year-old
confessed to raping several young girls
and forcing some boys to perform oral
sex on him.
Ruiru police boss Isaac Thuranira
yesterday said a complaint had been
received about Mr Durham, but he left
the country as they waited for a medi-
cal examination on the children.
Mr Thuranira, however, said police
could get him back to face the same
charges after he is tried in the US.
It is a good thing the US authori-
ties were also on the case because the
ultimate aim is to bring the culprit to
book. We have an extradition agree-
ment with the US and the le is before
the criminal division, he said.
We were informed by an ocial
at the home about an American teen-
ager, who had confessed to abusing
children. But we were also told he had
booked a ight and left on the same
day, Mr Thuranira said.
Mr Durham, who was arrested in the
US a few weeks after he left Kenya, is
expected to stand trial in Oklahoma
next week.
The teenager is said to have volun-
teered to work at Upendo Childrens
Home between April and June this
year where he allegedly committed
sex crimes on children aged between
four and nine.
Court documents show that on
his most recent trip, Mr Durham re-
quested to stay at the childrens facility
rather than with the sponsors, saying,
he wanted to be closer to them.
In June, a custodian at the home
became suspicious when he saw Mr
Durham lying close to some of the
children late in the night.
He said when he asked the children
what happened, some told him he had
touched them inappropriately and had
asked them to touch themselves as he
watched. The caretaker then reported
the matter to the homes sponsor.
Upendo Childrens Home is part
of the charity network Upendo Kids
International founded by Kenyan-
American couple Robert and Eunice
Menja. The Jomo Kenyatta University
of Agriculture and Technology alumni
are said to have settled in Oklahoma
to serve God.
A janitor at the home, who asked
not to be named, said the orphanage
had about 30 children, and missionar-
ies often visited it as well as schools
around Juja Town.
Police said medical examinations
indicated that one of the children
was HIV positive, but it was not clear
whether the infection arose from Mr
Durhams alleged misconduct.
Police in Oklahoma apprehended
him on July 17, and he appeared in
court the next afternoon. He is being
held without bond and his case will
start on August 1.

A
few days ago, the
Kenya Defence Forces
Twitter handle was
taken over by hackers.
The same happened to
the Twitter handle of the
defence forces spokesman
Emmanuel Chirchir.
Those familiar with the
two accounts obviously
noticed the change in tone
in the updates, inconsistent
as they were with traditional
expectations from the forces
and its spokesman.
It is not the rst time that
hackers have embarrassed
the government. A few years
ago, several government
websites were hacked.
That said, these are the
cases that we know of; what
goes unreported?
In the private sector,
recent news suggested
Kenyan banks had lost in
excess of Sh600 million in
two months. In July, it was
reported that the estimated
annual bank losses, due
to poor information
protection, was in excess
of Sh5 billion. Some say
these are conservative
gures. Nonetheless, they
are staggering losses and
someone has to pay.
Kenya has embraced the
use of technology. We have
seen the phenomenal use
of cell-phones and with it,
services that ride on the
technology infrastructure.
M-Pesa has revolutionised
the mobile money space
and is perhaps the most
successful service using this
infrastructure.
But as we embrace
technology, it is important
to realise that nothing
comes without risk. To get
the full potential of any
invention, one must weigh
the gains and risks.
Unmitigated risks
obviously lead to losses,
which can be material as
in the cases of banks. It
could also be harmful to the
reputation, leading to loss of
condence and trust.
For example, messages
from the Kenya Defence
Forces and its spokesman
may lose their full weight
if the source cannot
be trusted. In nancial
services, customers may
opt for alternative means
of transacting if they lose
condence in the banking
system.
As we invest in
technology, we need to
invest commensurately
in associated risk
management. We need
to invest in information
security.
As an information
security practitioner of
many years, I have observed
the following in my day-to-
day interaction with those in
the same business in Kenya:
First, Kenyans dont
appear to take seriously
breaches of the kind
illustrated above. They seem
to treat such happenings
like small irritants that
do not impact on their
businesses.
For the private sector
(and banks especially) they
could simply underwrite
these losses by passing
them on to the consumer.
A small marginal variation
in interest rates can recoup
losses of the magnitude
mentioned.
Second, we need to make
the conscious decision
to invest in technology
management and the
risks associated with that
technology.
The country needs to
put concerted eorts to
develop skills in this area to
tackle or forestall looming
problems.
Third, the country
seriously needs leadership
in technology risk in the
public and private sector.
If there exists any, it is not
felt.
Such leadership would
be evangelistic in nature,
pushing for an appreciation
of technology risks and how
to deal with them.
My experience in North
America tells me that in
Kenya and Africa, this area
is very much under-funded
and whatever little funding
comes through will be
spent on easy-to-acquire
devices like Closed Circuit
Television.
Fourth, many technology
managers keep things
obscure and profess
security. I was once in a
discussion with a senior
ocial in government
and heard things such as:
we cannot disclose what
measures we have taken
to protect government
information because the
same can be used by you
people to target us. He
failed to appreciate that
you can still be hacked
with the use of known
reconnaissance approaches.
If we are serious about
addressing this matter, lets
get some of our top talent,
give them security clearance
and challenge them to build
systems that assure security.
A friend recently told
the story of a manager
who was protected by his
benefactors, but who was
not performing.
He would avoid bringing
in talent that might help
him build robust systems
fearing such talent may
also expose his failings!
Only when the organisation
was hit did they hire an
external consultant whose
report exposed the fraud the
manager had perpetuated
for years.
Dr Nyanchama is a director
and managing consultant at
Agano Consulting Inc, an ICT
services rm with oces in
Canada and Kenya .
Lets get some of our
top talent, give them
security clearance
and challenge them
to build systems that
assure security

Probe police recruitment
T
he recently concluded police recruitment has
been widely criticised for alleged irregulari-
ties.
To assuage public concerns, it is right that the
recruitment secure a clean bill of health.
Parliament has already ordered, though jurisdic-
tion may be in doubt, that formal employment for
the succesful recruits be suspended until investiga-
tions are complete.
The National Police Service Commission has in
turn proposed to put admission to training school
on hold until October as it deals with the com-
plaints.
Claims that senior police ocers were bribed,
and of meddling by top politicians and government
ocials, augurs badly for the image of the police
service.
In the circumstance, the authorities must com-
mission independent investigations. Where mal-
practices obtained, the results should be nullied
and the culprits punished.
In the long term, however, there is need for seri-
ous examination of the recruitment process. The
present method may have been suitable for the
colonial era, but it is highly doubtful whether what
resembles a cattle parade should be applicable in
this day and age.

Investigate both sides
for war crimes in Gaza
T
he Israeli-Palestinian conict is taking an
unacceptable toll on innocent men, women
and children.
The world, no doubt, is horried by the images of
the terrible destruction wrought by Israeli air and
ground bombardments in the Gaza Strip.
Such indiscriminate bombings and the mounting
death toll is what has persuaded the United Nations
to warn that the Israeli bombings may amount to
war crimes. UN Human Rights High Commissioner
Navi Pillay condemned Israeli raids that have killed
innocent people on beaches, schools and hospitals
in disregard of international humanitarian law.
She said the conict needed urgent attention due
to strong indications that the law had been violated
in a manner that could amount to war crimes.
She also condemned the radical Palestinian
movement, Hamas, for indiscriminate rocket at-
tacks on Israeli civilian neighbourhoods, again in
disregard of international conventions.
These are not warnings to be taken lightly, but
they will only have eect if the UN moves beyond
warnings and institutes investigations against both
Israel and Hamas. The UN Security Council should
move with speed to establish a special tribunal that
ultimately, should prosecute any persons found to
be culpable for war crimes.
In the meantime, the international community
should hasten eorts to force both sides into an im-
mediate ceasere pending renewal of the search for
a comprehensive peace settlement.
Any moves towards justice and peace must start
on the premise that both Israelis and Palestinians
have the right to nationhood and peace within
secure borders.
Both of them also have the right to act in self-de-
fence if attacked, but neither has the right to seek
obliteration of the other or to rain bombs and mis-
siles on innocent civilians.

EDUCATION | Korir SingOei
H
igh schools would
like to place holds on
the release of KCSE
examination certicates
because of students failure
to pay fees. This position
has been clearly advanced by
Knut secretary-general, who
says high schools across the
country are owed more than
Sh14 billion in unpaid fees.
The non-payment of this
sum, in his view, imperils
the nancial sustainability of
many schools, leaving them
with no choice but to withhold
the certicates.
While the position held by
the schools administrative
fraternity is not without
justication, it runs counter
to the law and principles of
justice. Section 10(1) of the
Kenya National Examinations
Council Act (Cap 225A),
the statute that establishes
Knec, is explicit in providing
in part that the functions
of the Council shall be to
. . . award certicates or
diplomas to candidates in such
examinations; such certicates
or diplomas shall not be
withheld from the candidate
by any person or institution.
The plain reading of this
provision reveals the following.
First, the KCSE certicates
are awarded by, and are the
property of, Knec. At no
one time does the certicate
belong to any of the high
schools in which a candidate
sat for examinations.
Second, once the
certicate is issued by
Knec, no person or body is
authorised to withhold it
from the beneciary. The law
does not contemplate any
circumstances in which a high
school principal can decline
to release a KCSE certicate
from a graduate on account of
outstanding fees.
Essentially then, high
schools that withhold
certicates are transforming
the legal character of these
certicates from documentary
evidence of an individuals
academic performance to a
debt instrument.
This approach is
problematic because, aside
from the absence of a contract
by which a student commits
his or her certicate as a
security for any outstanding
nancial obligations, there are
serious justice issues implied
in the decision to withhold.
First, it must be understood
that most students who are
indebted to schools are from
poor and disadvantaged
backgrounds because their
parents are unable to raise the
necessary fees. After years of
toil, such students hope that
a good education will aord
them an opportunity to break
free from the poverty trap.
A policy that permits
schools to decline to release
such certicates would have
a disproportionate impact
on students from poor
backgrounds whose hopes for
either further education or
employment remained illusory.
The eect of implementing
such a policy would be
entrenched inequality.
Second, given the right
of every child to free and
compulsory basic education,
any policy in favour of
withholding of certicates
must be viewed as a clear
limitation of this right.
While the Constitution does
not dene what constitutes
basic education, by applying
this right to a child, dened
as a person under 18 years, it
suggests that basic education
encompasses persons
attending both primary and
secondary schools.
This interpretation is borne
out further by a reading
of section 30 of the Basic
Education Act which obligates
a parent to ensure a child
is in regular attendance at
an institution oering basic
education and imposes penal
or pecuniary sanctions upon
those parents who default
from this obligation.
If a poor parent of a 16-year-
old secondary school learner
runs the risk of jail for a term
should they be convicted of
failing to ensure their childs
attendance in school, it must
follow that their inability to
pay fees cannot be used to
later penalise their child due to
nancial delinquency.
When the Deputy President
supported the immediate
release of high school
certicates to graduates
notwithstanding any
outstanding debt to their
schools, he was propounding
a policy supportable by both
our Constitution and various
statutory instruments.
Of course, the burden on the
State to ensure the nancial
sustainability of schools is
another challenge that must be
grappled with.

Deputy President William Ruto:
Issued order on certicates
R
ape is a heinous crime. How
does one even begin to envisage
compensation as part of a justice
package for a rape survivor? Before you
get the wrong end of the stick, consider
the real story of a rape and post-election
violence survivor who we shall call
Cherotich.
That fateful evening as I walked home
worried about my two little brothers who
now depended on me, suddenly a strong
sweaty hand grabbed and quickly pushed
me into the thicket. I began to scream.
Two other cigarette stinking men joined
him. They brutally raped me as I begged
for mercy. They went on until I passed
out.
Later, I learnt I had developed stula
and had contracted HIV. My womb had
been infected and had to be removed. To
the world, I am another statistic. No one
understands my pain.
People who rape should be locked
up for a long time and, as some argue,
the prison keys thrown away. In some
countries like the US, rapists are proled
and in extreme cases isolated.
However, after the perpetrator has been
locked up, what mechanisms exist to help
the survivor onto her feet again?
Granted, locking up Cherotichs
tormentors will save other girls from such
beasts and serve as a warning to others.
What is not clear is how Cherotich will get
her health back and be able to fend for her
brothers, let alone live a normal life again.
These are dicult matters to venture
into, but we must face them if only to see
life from the survivors eyes.
In what could easily go down as
a seminal publication, the Agency
for Cooperation and Research in
Development (ACORD) has a very
interesting read in a policy brief titled,
Our Bare Minimum.
Arguing its case in this publication,
ACORD observes that, sexual and
gender-based violence in Kenya has
reached alarming heights with hardly a
single day passing without reported cases
of rape and violence against women.
What however stands out in this new
argument about justice for rape survivors
is the concept of reparations.
In international law, reparation is
the process of the wrong-doing party
redressing the damage caused to
the injured party. Rape perpetrators,
according to this thinking, must, besides
being punished, be forced to foot the
medical bills of the survivors and made to
pay to restore the livelihoods destroyed by
their heinous crime.
This, it is argued, helps in a small way
to transfer the guilt of rape that is often
on the survivor to the real person who
should own it the perpetrator. He must
suer material deprivation in addition to
being denied freedom!
Reparation is a concept that exists in
law. It is, therefore safe to argue that,
as we look into having more forceful
provision in our laws, there is an urgent
need to begin utilising provisions that
already exist to ensure victims of sexual
violence are eectively compensated.
To anchor this argument in Kenyan law,
check our Penal Code, Articles 139-169.
Chapter 24 provides compensation as one
of the forms of punishment that can be
imposed by a court in crimes mentioned
in the Penal Code.
While locking up rapists and imposing
nes is quite in order, it is not enough. In
cases where nes are imposed, they go to
the State. What goes to the survivor?
The Legislature must rise to the
occasion and enact the requisite laws
that take into consideration reparations
for such crimes as rape as was envisaged
under the Constitution.
The Judiciary needs to re-examine its
rulings especially with regard to rape and
apply the full extent of the law as provided
for in our statutes.

ROAD IN A MESS. Though his hands may be full,
with all manner of challenges, Muhib Noorani still beli-
eves Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero should nd some
time to attend to the specic problems of some of the
residents. He should, Muhib appeals, go to the rescue
of the residents of Rose Avenue, which is a very
important link between Ngong Road and Hurlingham
shopping centre. The road, he adds, is not only in
very bad shape and full of potholes, it is also the
cause of trac jams when dusty or muddy.

TIRED OF WAITING. A resident of the citys
Eastlands, Kahihu Wamwere, is tired of waiting for the
promised reconstruction of Outer Ring Road to begin,
as it continues to degenerate. Many businesses, he
reports, have moved out, as there is no sign that the
reconstruction of the road, which is now in a shambles,
will begin soon. As a result, he adds, trac jams are
the order of the day, and the feeder roads such as
Komarock, Mutarakwa and Kangundo are equally in a
mess. Is the road project still on? asks Kahihu.
LET DOWN BY AIRTEL. Has Airtel quietly
increased its charges? asks Wangui Kamau. She
recently noticed that something was amiss after
being charged Sh6 for her rst message of the day,
while the subsequent ones cost the normal Sh2 each
o-the-net. A loyal customer since the year 2000,
Wangui is livid about being cheated out of Sh4 every
day. She also wonders what became of the customer
loyalty points scheme, Rewardz. At this rate, she
warns, they risk losing a customer. Her contact is
wanguikm@gmail.com.
MONITOR SUPERHIGHWAY. To get the best out
of Thika Superhighway, Muhib Noorani says, there is
a need to ensure some trac discipline which has
been sorely missing. The goal of the hefty investment
streamlining the ow of motor vehicles remains a
dream. The rst measure should be to have all slow-
moving vehicles, including trucks and motorbikes, use
the service lane. The second is to deploy police on
motorbikes to monitor and help restore sanity on the
road. His contact is muhibnoorani@hotmail.com.
KENYANS STILL HONEST. There are still a few
honest Kenyans out there, says a grateful Dr Omija
TB. His condence in the goodness of his fellow
Kenyans was restored following an incident at a
hotel in Nakuru County. He was at Sentrim Lodge in
Elementaita on Saturday, July 12, and as he checked
out, he did not realise that he had dropped his
mobile phone. You can imagine my relief when I was
called on my second line and informed they had my
phone. Kudos to the staer who found the phone in
the room! His contact is olootb@yahoo.com.
WHY FOCUS ON DEATH? Why do Kenyans
focus so much on the dead, either through accidents,
wars or even suicide, but never on births? asks X.N.
Iraki. While several pages of obituaries are published in
the newspapers daily, there are none that cater for
newborns. Would it not be great to announce the
births with the childrens photos? We are always
talking about those who have died, but rarely about
those born. Baby showers have fewer attendees than
funerals. Why this obsession with death?
Have a living day, wont you!

Do you think the recent police recruitment was fair and transparent?
SAMUEL OWITI: Expecting the
force that recruited the infamous
Waiganjo (its not yet service) to
conduct a clean recruitment is akin to
planting beans and expecting maize.
RONALD TANUI: No, it was char-

DAN TUMBO: It was a sham, an in-
sult to the gains of our Constitution.
AMBROSE MUTHAURA: Yes, it
was fair and transparent.
KIRUI PHILE SENIOR: The exer-
cise was unfair and opaque but in

or those of us in the ICT
industry, regular reports of
hacking and accessing web-
sites, and even more dangerously,
online databases, is the last news
we want to hear.
This is particularly so when our
clients have hosted members
contributions, academic grades,
cash deposits and the like on our
so-called dynamic websites.
A defaced website can be restored
with relative ease, but what a about
thousands of sacco members who
nd their savings not showing on
their statements, for example?
So how does the hacking hap-
pen over and over again? Our best
programming practices for online
management systems regularly
rely on external content manage-
ment tools such as cpanel.
Targeted by hackers
Cpanel is a generic name for
tools used to develop the website;
it is the windows of website de-
velopment. And it is the tool often
targeted by hackers.
The hacking that is sometimes
perpetrated on big corporations
and government agencies all over
the world, is a sad story. It is not ac-
ceptable that so many years down
the road, no government seems
committed to developing a two-tier
access cpanel or its equivalent that
would leave a customer safe if the
hosting server is violated.
All current cpanel models are
equivalent of a house owner who
entrusts the master key to the
watchman. Practically all host-
ing companies keep a list of their
customers names, username and
password master keys as it were
on their servers. One server ac-
cess can reveal access codes for all
the customers they host.
This is the security aw for us
programmers that we cannot save
our customers from, no matter how
secure our programmed systems
are. As long as my hosting com-
pany has my super username and
password, that is one door I will
never secure my customers from
when my hosting company server
is accessed.
Hacking reduces the most
respected among as to babbling
squawks because we are confused,
angry, scared and out of control.
Yet all over the world, eorts by cy-
ber security agencies, including the
FBI, are a frantic eort to catch
hackers. This is not the solution.
If thieves keep entering your
premises, isnt the correct solution
to put a metal gate instead of going
to the eld to look for the thieves
every time they rob?
Hackings can be stopped if na-
tional IT departments of the world
cooperated in the direction, not of
hackers, but of software vulner-
ability.
It boggles the mind that so many
governments and rms around the
world wait in apathy as hackers test
vulnerable websites using tools as
freely available as google search.

Ministry should conduct impromptu audits in schools
Secondary education has become inaccessible to
many due exorbitant fees. Poor planning, corruption,
and failure to audit accounts are factors that have put
many intelligent children out of school.
Every year, principals issue a fees structure in
line with ministry guidelines. However, as soon as
children report, they are asked to pay more. In some
schools, parents are asked to buy sports kits like
hockey sticks yet their children may never use them.
Charges on computer papers, development levy and
others not included initially in the fee structure are
demanded on the day of reporting.
The hard question is, why do ministry ocials fail
to do impromptu auditing of school accounts? There
are two possible explanations. Either they are also
compromised by the school managers or the ministry
lacks sta do so. But since DEOs oces have audit
personnel, the rst reason seems to be the case.
Again, why has TSC and the ministry failed to vet
school principals? There is no signicant rise in the
salary of a teacher who has been promoted to princi-
pal, so how then can one explain the lavish lifestyles
of some school managers just a year after promotion?
Again, public ocers have been charged with fail-
ure to observe procurement laws. The principals, in
some schools, do all the functions despite not having
the capacity to meet procurement law demands.

The hullabaloo surrounding the

Safaricom has initially been al-
lowed to provide the system only in

terrorist threats are rampant. If
other rms can provide a security

S
ome property dealers in
Mombasa have taken ad-
vantage of insecurity at the
Coast and are buying chunks of
land anticipating that prices will
rise when peace returns.
Insecurity has resulted in
slow movement of property
and reduced prices, but inves-
tors are buying land, according
to Vipingo Holiday Homes direc-
tor Malusha Majani.
An eighth of an acre on Links
Road in Nyali, one of the areas
where land prices skyrocketed
over the past three years, is going
for Sh6 million, down from Sh10
million a year ago.
A quarter of an acre at Vipingo
that was selling at Sh3.5 mil-
lion is going for Sh2 million,
he said.
We have reduced the prices
of our four-bedroom houses at
Vipingo to Sh30 million from
the starting price of Sh35 mil-
lion and are experiencing low
inquiries because people are in
a state of panic.
Property deals have gone
down by at least 50 per cent
compared to last year, accord-
ing to the businessman.
But those in the business
of land buying and selling are
excited. They are aware that
people fear taking risk and will
shun these areas but they also
know the situation will not re-
main volatile.
Coast has been hit by violent
attacks recently in which nearly
100 people have died. Lamu
County was the most aected.
Other regions aected are Kili
and Mombasa.
Time to buy
According to Mr Majani,
although attacks in Kili have
dampened hopes of investors
who were banking on the tar-
macking of Mavueni-Kaloleni
road, land buyers are enjoying
prices which have dropped from
Sh2.5 million to an average of
Sh1 million per acre in Kaloleni.
A similar plot at Mavueni was
selling at Sh600,000, but is now
going for Sh200,000.
For the real investor, this is
the time to buy. We are condent
that insecurity will be contained
so we are buying land from
those who are worried about
the situation, Mr Majani said
yesterday.
Despite the insecurity, mort-
gage lenders are still nancing
developers who, however, are
holding the funding while moni-
toring the situation, according to
Mr Paul Kinoti, a consultant at
Coral Property Limited.
Bad publicity
We are also experiencing
a situation where foreigners
who own apartments in Nyali,
Shanzu and Vipingo are eager to
sell them due to the bad publicity
out there.
But Kenyans are taking the
advantage of their desperation.
Our local clients say clashes
cannot stop them from buying
property so they are exploiting
the chance to strike good deals,
he said.
Rental prices have also been
aected. Tenants are moving
out but there are those who
are not worried. We cannot run
away from our homes so we are
putting up with the situation,
said Mr Idha Mbarak, who owns
rental houses in Majengo.
Myspace Properties executive
ocer Mwenda Thuranira said
while tenants have moved out,
hospitality workers are experi-
encing diculties in paying rent
after they lost jobs due to closure
of some hotels.
We know this is a dicult
moment for tenants since they
are not working so we have to
bear with them. But its weigh-
ing down on house owners, he
said.
Insecurity in Lamu and Tana
River counties has aected busi-

Hardest hit are hotels, 70 per

Mr Roberto Mancini, an inves-
tor in the hospitality sector and
owner of Karen Blixen, Malindi,
said he was contemplating mov-
ing out of the resort town.
He said that since April, his
business has suered huge losses
despite retaining all employees,
when other hoteliers closed shop

Marketer to pay coee

Coee farmers in Nyeri County will receive their

Exporters (KCCE), their marketer, said it had
committed 100 per cent of the coee and sold over
90 per cent. The balance awaits price conrmation,
the marketer said. Farmers had received Sh20 per
kilogramme, including Sh10 per kilogramme cherry
advance payment, after harvesting, the marketer
said. A further Sh10 per kilogramme was paid in
May as school fees advance, KCCE Chief Executive
Ocer Mrs Lucy Murumba said. She added that the

farmers. She said milling losses that had been
up to 30 per cent had reduced to 16 per cent for
parchment coee, resulting in more quantity.

N
airobi Governor Evans Kidero
has ordered a reduction in
parking fees for matatus.
The waiver, benefiting matatus
registered to about 70 Saccos, takes
eect next month.
Owners of 14-seater matatus
will now pay Sh3,650, down from
Sh5,000 monthly while 41-seater
buses will part with Sh5,500, down
from Sh8,000.
Matatus which carry more than 41
passengers had their fees slashed from
Sh10,000 to Sh7,250.
Dr Kidero made the announcement
at the launch of an e-payment facil-
ity for matatu operators in Nairobi
yesterday.
Waiver comes as
governor eects
deal reached with
Saccos in April
In April this year, matatu opera-
tors staged protests after the governor
reneged on a deal to slash parking
fees.
Although the protests were foiled
and the new rates were effected,
there has reportedly been bad blood
between the Saccos and the county
government.
County Executive Committee
member for Trade, Industrialisation,
Co-operative Development, Tourism
and Wildlife Anna Othoro said the ex-
ecutive had consulted the assembly
and stakeholders to approve the new
waiver.
We followed procedures and the
governor, working with the County
Executive Committee Finance, proc-
essed the request for a waiver and
agreed with the county assembly to
reduce the charges. It is also within
the governors powers to grant this
waiver, she said.
The waiver will, however, not
include operators who are not mem-
bers of the Saccos that negotiated
the deal.

Agency set to restore forest after
evictions from 16,000 hectares
BY NATION CORRESPONDENTS
Some 16,000 hectares of forest land
have been recovered following evic-
tions in Elgeyo-Marakwet County.
Kenya Forest Services North Rift
region Conservator Solomon Mibey
said surveillance ocers had been
sent to Embobut Forest to ensure no
one returned to the water tower.
The move was part of eorts to
restore the forest, which had been
massively degraded, he said.
The settlers were ejected after they
were compensated by the government.
Last year, 2,874 families occupying
forest land were paid Sh400,000 each
to buy alternative plots.
Mr Mibey said the agency would
move to other forests which are still
home to various communities in its
drive to save the water towers.
He spoke to journalists in Eldoret
during a stakeholders workshop.
The ocial said the agency was
committed to reaching out to eve-
ryone on the need to conserve the
environment.
Carbon nancing
KFS is conducting workshops with
communities living around forests in
the North Rift to educate them on
carbon nancing, he added.
The Kenya Forest Service is
determined to protect the countrys
indigenous forests, said Mr Mibey.
At the same time, Mr Mibey said
all county governments should be
engaged to ensure residents ben-
et from forests and other natural
resources.

said with resources such as oil,
water and gold in the area, the
residents should know how to
interact with investors. Mr Epuu
said it was important for them
to be familiar with compensation
procedures in case their land is
taken over for mining projects.
Part of the funds will be
spent on organising quarterly
forums that will bring together
investors, civil society groups,
community representatives and
county leaders to ensure smooth
extraction industry operations.
he said.
Ward reps approve Sh10bn
budget but oppose ceilings
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The county assembly has ap-
proved a Sh10 billion budget for
the county.
The approval comes amid a row
between the Commission on Rev-
enue Allocation (CRA) and ward
reps, who have opposed budget
ceilings set by the agency.
The caps, which CRA is partner-
ing with the Controller of Budget
to enforce, control the salaries and
allowances that MCAs can earn.
The County Executive for Eco-
nomic Planning Paul Otsola said
he had worked closely with the
county assembly to prepare what
he called a focused and balanced
budget. Nominated MCA Alex Kha-
masi said tackling poverty, which
currently stands at 52 per cent,
was a top priority for the county
government.
The county government had good
news for traders operating small
businesses after a Sh20 million
kitty was set up to advance loans
to them.
The traders can now access
loans of between Sh10,000 and
Sh250,000, to be repaid in two years
at an interest rate of ve per cent.
Trade minister Robert Sumbi said
the assembly was expected to come
up with a policy on the management
and disbursement of the loans.
Traders will be required to
provide collateral for the loans
which will include title deeds and
logbooks for motor vehicles, said
Mr Sumbi.

in the House. The thresh-
old to impeach the Deputy
Governor was met, said Mr
Mungata.
Machakos County As-
sembly has 59 members
of which 40 voted to send
Mr Kiala home.
Mr Mungata added the
nal report would be sent to
the Senate where the matter
will be dealt with before the
end of the week. The Sen-
ate will consider the matter
and set up a committee to
investigate Mr Kiala, if it
establishes that the report
has merit.
Mr Kiala was impeached
on allegations of insubor-
dination to Governor
Alfred Mutua, nepotism
and abuse of oce among
other grounds.
Mr Kiala told the Na-
tion he had expected the
outcome but was confi-
dent of a fair hearing in
the Senate.
The motion is clearly
sponsored by the Macha-
kos Government and I did
not expect the Assembly
to give me a fair hearing. I
was never called to appear
before the committee at any
one point, he added.
The motion was tabled in
the assembly last week and
a committee tasked with the
responsibility of generating
a report in seven days.
The Secretary to the Ad
Hoc Committee Leonard
Katela however said the
committee had invited Mr
Kiala to appear before it but
he chose to send his lawyer
instead.
We gave the lawyer
who appeared all the
documents for the report
but since they were trying
to stop the impeachment in
court, they did not present
anything to the committee,
he added.
Earlier lawyer James
Orengo had gone to the
High Court in Machakos
seeking to block the censure
motion against Mr Kiala.
But DG
expresses
optimism
he will get
fair hear-
ing before

ate

Governor Jackson Mandago will
repair stadiums in Eldoret to attract in-
vestors to the North rift.
The rehabilitation is part of eorts to
woo businesses from various sectors to
one of the countrys bread baskets.
Kipchoge Keino and 64 stadiums will
be repaired so they can qualify to host
international competitions.
The county is known for producing
world beating athletes including Moses
Tanui, Ezekiel Kemboi and Kipchoge
Keino to name just a few. This has made
it earn the title Home of Champions.
The athletes have also invested heav-
ily in the town.
According to Mr Mandago, Kipchoge
Keino stadium will hold 13,000 people
when it is completed by August.
The county government will charge
Sh1 million to host competitions at the
two stadiums.
We are projecting that this stadium
(Kipchoge) will be the rst to host
regional and international events. We
want our people to reap fully from their
rich athletic talent, Mr Mandago told
the Nation in his oce.
He said his government had also set
its eyes on expanding infrastructure in
the county. The Eldoret bypass, which
will decongest the town, is already
under construction.
The project is expected to
be complete by the end
of the year.
However, eorts
to build infrastruc-
ture have ran into
headwinds due to
grabbing of land
meant for the developments.
Mr Mandago has since issued a notice
to those who have encroached on road
reserves and other public utilities in the
area to move or their buildings will be
demolished.
The law is clear on use of public utili-
ties such as
road reserves
and those
occupying
them should
move imme-
diately. They should not even waste
their money by moving to court because
they will be wasting their time, said Mr
Mandago when he inspected the con-
struction of the Sh900 million Eldoret
Town-Kapsoya road.
The county government, in its 2014-
2015 nancial year budget, has set aside
Sh50 million for bridges and another
Sh10 million for sh hatcheries.
Mr Mandago said the county govern-
ment was working with the University of
Eldoret to produce ngerlings to boost
the sh industry.
To cope with emergencies, Mr Mand-
ago said the county government had
set aside Sh3 million to train 6,000 tech-
nicians who will respond to disasters.
He said the county was in the process
of automating health centres to fast-
track services to wananchi.
To diversify farming, the county gov-
ernment recently secured a passion fruit
supply tender in Namibia.

Police shot dead three men

The gangsters had carjacked the
woman, who was driving home at

They also took her three ATM

Mr Akaranga said the aim was
to make the countys 1,000
kilometres of roads accessible.
He said the region was behind
in infrastructure development.
The department of roads had
renovated 116 kilometres in the
past one year, against a target
of 200 kilometres, he said. We
have only rehabilitated 11 bridges
at a cost of Sh50 million. This
is a small number. We should
do more than this, he said
when he received Sh75 million
construction equipment.

contested the decision at the

Kiambu > President Kenyatta urged to remain neutral in Gatundu South by-election
by-election.
Mr George Kaimburi said he de-
cided to support Mr Joachim Kamere
of New Democrats Party after he real-
ised that the TNA candidate was being
imposed in Gatundu by outsiders.
Addressing a news conference in
Gatundu Town with other defectors,
Mr Kaimburi said he did not like Mr
Kurias arrogant campaign style.
For instance, during a recent
meeting attended by Deputy Presi-
dent William Ruto, he said he was
not going to ask for votes because
he already has been elected, which
amounts to utter disrespect of Ga-
tundu voters.
He accused some TNA ocials of
messing up the partys nomination
and denying the people a chance to
elect a candidate of their choice. He
urged President Kenyatta to intervene
to ensure discipline and fairness in
future party preliminaries.
He also appealed to the President
not to take sides in the contest be-
tween Mr Kuria and Mr Kamere,
saying both were Jubilee coalition
members.
We ask the President not to in-
terfere in any way and therefore he
should let the people elect a repre-
sentative of their choice.
He said he met with more than
2,000 residents and voters and they
decided to support Mr Kamere who
resides in Gatundu and has been with
us all along.

BY CHARLES ONIANS
EINDHOVEN, Thursday
T
his is how you honour
the dead, Dutch daily
NRC headlined today,
contrasting the solemn return
to the Netherlands of the rst
MH17 bodies with the traumatic
chaos of the planes crash site in
rebel-held Ukraine.
The NRC and several other
papers printed front page photo-
graphs of owers being dropped
from a motorway bridge as the
cortege of 40 hearses drove from
Eindhoven airport.
Many contrasted the traumatic
images of rebels handling bod-
ies and personal belongings
following the July 17 crash with
the solemnity of the rst planes
arrival and welcome by Dutch
armed forces. Soldiers wore
hats instead of balaclavas, wrote
Thomas de Veen in the NRC daily
after Dutch troops unloaded the
40 cons from two planes.
At last, a respectful homage,
headlined the AD, with 193 of
the 298 people killed aboard the
Malaysia Airways ight Dutch.
Ahead of the rst national day
of mourning since the death of
queen Wilhelmina in 1962, many
wondered what they were sup-
posed to do.
The day had no instruc-
tion book, but it turned out
that wasnt necessary, wrote
Maaike van Houten in Protes-
tant daily Trouw. Throughout
the country colleagues, manag-
ers, volunteers, Facebook users,
festivalgoers decided to be silent
for this, such an exceptional oc-
currence for the Netherlands,
she wrote.
Finally in good hands, wrote
conservative tabloid De Tel-
egraaf, with a front-page photo
of the cortege and police outrid-
ers arriving down a crowd-lined
road at a military base where the
bodies are to be identied.
That must be what bereaved
relatives felt who had to wait so
unbearably long for their loved
ones bodies.
It remains an unimagina-
ble scandal that perhaps still
a third of the victims have
been left behind in the killing
fields of (Russian President
Vladimir) Putins bandits, the
paper wrote.
Pro-Russian separatists have
been widely accused of acciden-
tally shooting down the plane,
and Putin accused of not doing
enough to help get the bodies
out. This must be resolved as
quickly as possible... If an inter-
national police or military force
must intervene then there should
be no hesitation. We owe it to the
victims and the bereaved to be
steadfast, De Telegraaf wrote.
With even non-believers
congregating in churches for
remembrance services, the left-
leaning Volkskrant daily quoted
pastor Jannie Nijewing.
The Netherlands has
churches because we know
were fragile, we know that some
things are too big for us. Too big
to be carried alone, said Pastor
Nijewing. (AFP)

Dutch to halt threat
Calls to expel Russian Presi-

from the Netherlands over ight
MH17 have fallen at, with many
noting that their Argentine-born
Queen Maxima Zorreguieta (pic-
tured) has not been punished for
her fathers junta past. Despite
calls from Ukrainian activists and
right-wing Dutch newspapers for
Maria Putin, 29, to be punished
for her fathers alleged role in
bringing down ight MH17, most
here noted that you cannot blame
a child for the sins of his or her
father. The mayor of wealthy city
Hilversum, which lost several
inhabitants in the July 17 crash
that killed 298 people, 193 of
them Dutch, hit the headlines on
Wednesday after calling for Maria
to be kicked out. (AFP)
LONDON
UK experts examine
second black box
British investigators have
started examining the second
black box from Malaysia Airlines
ight MH17 which was shot
down over Ukraine, the trans-
port ministry said on Thursday.
The Air Accidents Investigation
Branch (AAIB) in Farnborough,
southwest of London, is looking
at the ight data recorder, which
records information from instru-
ments on the plane. On Wednes-
day AAIB experts downloaded
valid data from the rst black
box, the cockpit voice recorder,
which should give them hours of
the pilots conversations. They
have started examining the Flight
Data Recorder, a Department for
Transport spokesman told AFP
LONDON
Western sanctions
point to cover-up
Russias ambassador to Britain
said that Western sanctions over
Ukraine are illegal and further
measures would indicate a cover-
up over the fate of Malaysia Air-
lines ight MH17. Alexander Yak-
ovenko told a news conference in
London that the Kremlin was not
responsible for supplying weap-
ons to pro-Russian separatists in
Ukraine accused of downing the
airliner. The Western sanctions
against Russia, rst of all we
believe they are illegal, unreason-
able and counterproductive, Mr
Yakovenko told reporters. (AFP)
Algerian airliner likely crashed says French foreign minister
PARIS, Thursday
An Air Algerie jet that went missing
over Mali today has probably crashed
but there has been no trace of the
plane yet, French Foreign Minister
Laurent Fabius said.
Mr Fabius said there were 51 French
nationals aboard the ight from the
Burkina Faso capital Ouagadougou
to Algiers, which had more than 110
people on board in all.
Despite intensive searches, no
trace of the plane has been found as
we speak, he said. The plane has
probably crashed. The searches are
focusing at this stage on a vast strip
of Malian territory around the region
of Gao, in the restive north of the
west African nation, he said. Fabius
said according to information from
Burkinabe officials there were 51
French nationals on board. He said
there were people from 14 other na-
tions on board, including the planes
Spanish crew.
Contact was lost with the McDon-
nell-Douglas 83 at 01:47, a little after
the pilots said they were diverting
from the route due to meteorological
reasons, he said. There were reports
of heavy storms in the region.
Late today, President Francois Hol-
lande vowed to deploy all of Frances
military means to track down the
missing Algerian plane. (AFP)

FREETOWN, Thursday
T
here is anger and anxiety in Sierra
Leone as the man who is leading the
country`s battle against the Ebola
outbreak has himself tested positive for
the virus.
Dr Sheikh Umar Khan is head of the
Lassa Fever program and lead expert in
viral haemorrhagic fevers in the country.
The Lassa Fever Centre which accom-
modates the only testing facility for Ebola
in Sierra Leone is housed at the Kenema
Government Hospital in the east of the
country. It`s at the center of protest by
nurses who want it relocated.
The ministry of Health and Sanitation
yesterday asked for prayers for his speedy
recovery.
Dr Khan has been in charge of the
center located at the headquarter town of
Kenema for about 10 years and fell ill after
personally treating over 100 patients with
the Ebola since the outbreak in May, the
ministry said.
He was taken to the second treatment
center in Kailahun, which is run by MSF.
Health minister, Miatta Kargbo, per-
sonally conrmed the news of Dr Khan`s
health status and described him as a
national hero and vowed to see that he
gets cured.
But already, the authorities are struggling
against persistent rumour on social media
that he is died.
He made the ultimate sacrice by putting
his own life on the line to treat and save
Sierra Leoneans of the Ebola virus.
Dr Khan treated and discharged more
than 100 Sierra Leoneans of the deadly
Ebola virus. By going into that treatment
Center and spending more than 12 hours
daily just to save lives is a tremendous sac-
rice. I will do anything and everything
in my power to ensure he survives, the
minister said.
The virologist once famously said that
his biggest problem was getting people to
accept that the disease exists. And cam-
paigners now hope his tragic situation
could serve to change the minds of those
still in denial as, 143 people have died so
far with 422 cases, as per the count of the
Ministry of Health.
But WHO put the numbers a little higher
at 206 deaths and 442 cases.
Guinea and Liberia are also battling
the illness, but the pressure is presently
on Sierra Leone and Liberia and the two
countries are planning a meeting to discuss
how to attack the issue at their common
borders.
News of Dr Khans illness added fuel
to re within an already chaotic health
system.
It comes a day after the death of three
nurses in one day and rekindled debate
over availability of protective gears for
healthcare workers at the center of the
Ebola ght.
One hundred nurses working at the Ebola
center in Kenema on Monday abandoned
the Ebola ward leaving patients by them-
selves. They accused the government of
poorly managing the outbreak.
Even antibiotics are hard to come by, the
nurses claimed.
The main hospital ward is itself virtually
empty as residents of the town have stopped
visiting for fear of contracting Ebola. And
this has raised further concern with fears
that Ebola patients might resolve to seek
treatment at home.
The government Tuesday said it was
down scaling its presence at the hospital
for eventual relocation of the Ebola ward
in line with the nurses` demand.

ROME, Thursday
A
Sudanese Christian
woman whose death
sentence for renounc-
ing Islam sparked a global
outcry that eventually led to
an acquittal, met Pope Francis
today after arriving in Italy en
route to the United States.
Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag
and her family were received
by the Argentine ponti at his
home for a 30-minute meeting
in which he thanked her for
her courageous testament of
faith and her tenacity, the
Vatican said in a statement.
Ishag and her American
husband Daniel Wani in turn
thanked Francis for the great
support and comfort they
had taken from the popes
and many other believers
prayers.
The meeting was a sign of
closeness and solidarity for
all those who suer for their
faith, in particular Christians
who suer persecution, the
Vatican added.
Rosary beads
The 77-year-old pope gave
Ishag rosary beads after an
affectionate and warm
chat about her plans in the
US, where she is expected to
y with her family in a few
days time, Vatican spokesman
Federico Lombardi said.
The family flew into a
military airport in Rome early
Thursday and were greeted by
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi
and his wife, as well as Foreign
Minister Federica Mogherini.
Today is a day of celebration,
Renzi said.
Italian Deputy Foreign
Minister Lapo Pistelli, who
accompanied the family on
the ight to Rome, tweeted
a photo of the young mother
aboard the plane cradling her
infant daughter as her toddler
son drank from a bottle.
Mission accomplished,
he wrote.
A global outcry erupted in
May after Ishag was sentenced
under Sharia law to hang for
apostasy.
Days after her conviction,
the 26-year-old gave birth to
a second child in prison.
Ishags conviction was over-
turned in June, but she was
immediately rearrested while
trying to leave Sudan using
what prosecutors claimed
were forged documents.
Two days later, Ishag was
released from prison and she
and her family including
her American husband Dan-
iel Wani and the two infant
children took refuge in the
US embassy.
Ishag was born to a Mus-
lim father who abandoned the
family, and was raised by her
Ethiopian Orthodox Christian
mother. The Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Khartoum says
Ishaq joined the Catholic
church shortly before she
married in 2011.
She was convicted under
Islamic Sharia law that has
been in force in Sudan since
1983, and that says Muslim
conversion to another faith
is punishable by death.
The court had also sen-
tenced her to 100 lashings
because under Sharia law it
considered her union with
her non-Muslim husband to
be adultery. (AFP)

SA targets screening whole population for Aids
CAPE TOWN, Thursday
South Africas govern-
ment plans to extend Aids
tests to the countrys entire
population and speed up
antiretroviral treatment of
those who test positive for
the virus, the health minister
said yesterday.
We come from very far in
the past ve years, Mr Aaron
Motsoaledi told parliament.
But a lot still needs to
be done, the minister said
while presenting his annual
budget.
With 6.4 million people in-
fected with HIV, the virus that
can cause Aids, South Africa
has the largest seropositive
population in the world, but
also the largest programme
to treat them.
After a recent spike in Aids
infections, the country aims
to eradicate the virus by 2030,
a goal echoing guidelines
adopted by the world Aids
conference in Melbourne
this week. Within 15 years
the conference wants 90 per
cent of people to know their
status, 90 per cent of those
infected to be treated and 90
per cent of those on treatment
to have no viral load. There
are leakages in the HIV/Aids
cascade, said Motsoaledi,
whose country saw a 27 per
cent rise in new infections in
2012. South Africa will step up
its programmes to reach the
90 per cent target, he said.
This means testing most if
not all of the population annu-
ally, initiating everyone who is
positive on treatment.
It will mean mass testing in
every possible setting: schools,
universities, workplaces,
churches and communities,
said Motsoaledi. (AFP)

GAZA CITY, Thursday
F
ifteen Palestinians were
killed today when an Is-
raeli shell slammed into a
UN-run school where hundreds
of civilians had taken refuge,
sending the death toll in Gaza
soaring to 788 despite world
eorts to broker a ceasere.
The strike hit a school shel-
tering some of the 100,000
Palestinians driven out of their
homes in search of a safe haven
after weeks of deadly ghting be-
tween Israeli troops and Hamas
militants.
The shell crashed down in
the middle of the courtyard
where people had set up camp,
leaving the ground covered in
bloodstains. Gazas emergency
services said 15 people had been
killed and more than 200 injured
in the school strike, sending the
Palestinian death toll from 17
days of ghting to 788.
Meanwhile in Cairo, US Secre-
tary of State John Kerry sought to
further regional eorts to broker
an end to the bloodshed, reach-
ing out to Turkey and Qatar, both
allies of Hamas.
The US diplomat is seeking to
garner support for an Egyptian-
drafted proposal, with an ocial
saying he had spoken to his
counterparts in Doha and Ankara
in the hope they would use their
inuence to encourage Hamas to
accept a ceasere plan.
Hamas has so far refused all
ceasere eorts, with its exiled
leader Khaled Meshaal vowing
late Wednesday there would be
no end to the ghting without
an end to Israels eight-year
blockade on Gaza. (AFP)

BAGHDAD, Thursday
A
n onslaught on a convoy transferring
inmates north of Baghdad left doz-
ens dead today, as visiting UN chief
Ban Ki-moon said Iraqs survival hinged on
a more inclusive government.
Most of the 60 killed in the spectacular
pre-dawn ambush were prisoners convicted
of terrorism charges being transferred from
Taji prison, barely 25 kilometres north of
the capital. Explosions from the attack
were heard in some neighbourhoods of
Baghdad, where UN chief Ban Ki-moon
landed Thursday on an unscheduled stop
in his Middle East tour. At least 60 people,
prisoners and policemen, were killed in a
suicide attack followed by several IEDs (im-
provised explosive devices) and shooting,
an interior ministry ocial told AFP.
One security source said the inmates
were being transferred as a precautionary
measure after Taji prison was hit by mortar
re on Wednesday.
The exact circumstances of Thursdays
attack were not immediately clear, nor
how many attackers were dead or how
the prisoners they were apparently trying
to free were killed. The bus was believed
to be transporting around 60 prisoners,
and medics said 54 of those killed in the
attack were inmates.
Most of the bodies were burnt beyond
recognition, they said. Government forces
were recently accused by rights watchdogs
of having executed more than 250 prison-
ers since June 9.
Among the allegations are that members
of the Iraqi security forces shot prisoners,
on the grounds they were sympathetic to
advancing forces from the Islamic State (IS)
jihadist group, that jails were set on re and
that grenades were tossed into cells.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Malikis alliance
comfortably won elections in April but he
has faced mounting domestic and foreign
pressure to step aside since the are-up.
The Shiite premier has accused the
Sunni mainstream of condoning the IS
oensive and dancing in the blood of
the onslaughts victims.
But many retort it was Malikis own
brand of sectarian politics that brought
the country to the brink of collapse.
Iraq is facing an existential threat but
it can be overcome by the formation of
a thoroughly inclusive government, Mr
Ban said at a joint news conference with
Maliki.
Meanwhile, Kurdish politician Fuad
Masum became the new president of Iraq
today, in a step towards forming a new
government that Mr Ban said must be
inclusive for the country to survive.
In another development, Jihadists in Iraq
have ordered that all women between the
ages of 11 and 46 must undergo female geni-
tal mutilation, which could aect up to four
million women and girls in the war-ravaged
country, a UN ocial said Thursday. The
UNs second most senior ocial in Iraq,
Jacqueline Badcock, said, It is a fatwa (or
religious edict) from ISIS, we learnt about
it this morning. (AFP)

We operated on Monday and it took

debit cards
BY NATION REPORTER
Family Bank has begun issuing
chip-and-pin payment cards as part
of an ongoing shift by the banking
sector to reduce fraud.
In a statement yesterday, the
bank said that it had also struck
a deal with Visa to brand the newly-
issued cards.
Kenyan banks are rushing to
discontinue use of magnetic strip
payment cards since they are vul-
nerable to security breaches.
Chip-and-pin cards, also known
as Europay MasterCard Visa
(EMV) cards are more secure.
The card makes payments safe
and easy at no extra charge. These
cards are also usable globally wher-
ever our customers travel, Family
Bank Chief Executive Ocer Peter
Munyiri (below) said.
The sector was supposed to have
migrated from magnetic strip cards
by the end of March.
In May, the Kenya Bankers
Association said that banks that
failed to issue their customers with
EMV cards would take the liability
for any fraud committed with the
magnetic strip cards.
Earlier this week, PayNet, a
local rm that supplies ATMs and
payment cards, said that over one
million customers banking with
three of its partners had migrated
to chip-and-pin cards.

All State-owned websites will be
hosted locally in order to curb rising
cases of cyber security attacks.
This was a key resolution at a crisis
meeting held yesterday between top
security ocials and the Ministry of
ICT.
Held at Communication Author-
ity of Kenya (CAK), the meeting was
called to discuss the safety prepared-
ness of the government to handle
cyber attacks.
It comes just days after hacking
of the Kenya Defence Forces social
media accounts including the ocial
email account of the military spokes-
person, Major Emmanuel Chirchir.
In attendance were ICT Principal
Secretary Joseph Tiampati, repre-
sentatives of the National Intelligence
Service, Kenya Defence Forces, CID,
CAK Director-General Francis Wangusi
and ICT Authority chief executive.
Weve agreed to immediately shift
all our websites to local hosting and
have them managed from a central
point, which will be the ICT Author-
ity, Mr Wangusi told the Nation.
Agreed to speed up
ICT Authority chief executive Victor
Kyalo said that the meeting agreed
to speed up implementation of the
National Cyber Security Strategy in
order to curb the menace.
We have to work together on this
one. We are going to move with speed
with the implementation of the strat-
egy to enhance our security even in
the future, he said.
A major challenge of the government
in ensuring online operations security
is the level of decentralisation. Cur-
rently, each ministry, department and
agency has virtual autonomy over its
website, the software it chooses to use
as well its social media accounts.
And with the ongoing initiative to
digitise government records and digi-
tise most of its services, the threat of
incurring more cyber security attacks
is real and requires hasty action.
In an earlier interview, IT security
firm, Serianu managing director
William Makatiani said the govern-
ment must match its cyber-security
measures with its eorts to digitise
operations.

T
he appointment of the
Kenya Airports Author-
ity chief executive was
skewed in favour of the current
managing director, Ms Lucy
Mbugua.
According to a report released
yesterday by the Oce of the
Ombudsman, Ms Mbugua was
deliberately favoured by Mr
Joseph Irungu, a board mem-
ber, who awarded her 239 marks
against his second best whom he
gave 105 marks.
Further, it is noted that the
four candidates were awarded ex-
tremely low marks in an attempt
to deliberately favour Ms Lucy
Mbugua. The variance between
the best candidate and the four
other candidates shows lack of
objectivity in the award of marks
on the part of Mr Irungu, the
commissions chairperson, Mr
Otiende Amollo, writes.
The ocial handler of public
complaints has recommended
that Mr Irungu, who also serves
as administration secretary in
the Department of Interior, be
relieved of his duties in the
board for abuse of power and
a conduct prejudicial to other
interviewees.
The report noted that if Mr
Irungus grades for Ms Mbugua
were excluded, she would be
fourth among the ve candidates
that made it to the nal round
of the interview.
Based on the foregoing, it
is our nding that although the
recruitment appeared to be free
and fair on the face of it, a careful
analysis reveals that the proc-
ess violated the constitutional
principle enshrined in article
232 (1) (g) on fair competition
and merit as the basis of appoint-
ment in the public service, the
report says.
However, Ms Mbugua (right)
has escaped by the skin of her
teeth as the Ombudsman decided
not to recommend annulment of
the appointment. Without evi-
dence of her collusion with Mr
Irungu, the letter says, no such
action can be taken.
The Oce of Administrative
Justice began investigating the
matter in March following a
complaint filed by the Con-
sumer Federation of Kenya
(Cofek), which had alleged that
the Transport ministry had failed
to convincingly respond to con-
cerns on Ms Mbuguas hiring.
The consumer lobby noted
that the interview was shrouded
in mystery as the candidates had
not been publicised. Cofek also
queried Mr Irungus conduct.
Ms Mbugua rst stepped into
the post of managing director in
an acting capacity last year after
her predecessor, Mr Stephen
Gichuki, was sent on terminal
leave before the expiry of his
contract.
Chinese company
Mr Gichuki had a tumultu-
ous stint at KAA. He was sent
home a week after a re gutted
the arrivals section of the Jomo
Kenyatta Airport and in the wake
of a heated row with business-
man Kamlesh Pattni over duty

N
ational Cement,
a member of the
Devki Group of
Companies, has embarked
on a Sh6.1 billion expansion
plan across East Africa.
The International
Financial Corporation
(IFC), a private sector
lending arm of the World
Bank, approved the loan
on Wednesday. Ground-
work for the growth plan is
ongoing, and the expansion
will be in two phases set to
be complete in 2016.
The investment will see
the rms production in-
crease vefold to 1.7 million
tonnes per year; intensify-
ing the battle for control
of the regional cement
market that was stirred by
the entry of National Ce-
ment and rival, Mombasa
Cement.
Devki Group chairman
Narendra Raval said the
partnership with IFC
combines experience from
expertise in international
infrastructure and envi-
ronment management with
knowledge from Kenyas
building industry to provide
the best to customers.
Strong signal
As National Cement ex-
pands, we aim to contribute
to improving infrastructure
and housing in Kenya and
beyond, he said.
IFC director for East-
ern and Southern Africa
Oumar Seydi noted:
Kenya imports cement at
high costs; we are sending
a strong signal of our con-
dence in a Kenyan company
making a dierence in the
local economy.

The company produces two
million tonnes of dry cement
each year.
The rst phase of the expan-
sion will see the rm benet
from new production equip-
ment, which will increase
output to 1.7 million tonnes
per yeear from the current
350,000 tonnes.
The second growth phase
will see the firm set up a
clinker manufacturing plant
in Kajiado County. Clinker is a
key ingredient in the making of
cement. The rm has acquired
2,200 acres in Kajiado to set
up the plant.
The local cement industry
has grown with the entry of
more companies and expansion
of production capacity to sup-
ply ready markets in real estate
as well as meet the demand
from massive infrastructure
projects in the region.
Other companies set to
expand their business locally
include Indian conglomer-
ate, Cemtech in Pokot and

Coee union
faults plan to
elect ocials
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The board of Kenya Planters Co-
operative Union is demanding that
the Ministry of Industrialisation de-
clares its interests in the elections
it has called on August 31.
Speaking at the unions Dandora
plant yesterday, the board said it
was surprised by how the ministry
was handling its revival.
We want the Cabinet Secretary,
the Principal Secretary and the
Commissioner of Co-operatives
to declare the interests they have
in the elections that they have
called without informing board
members, managing director
Joseph Kioko said.
The elections could scuttle the
plans to bring the union back into
business since the funding that
resulted in lifting of receivership
was tied to the stability of the
boards tenure that ends in 2016,
Mr Kioko said.
This, he added, will aect pay-
ment of farmers arrears for coee
delivered before 2009 and whose
accounts are being veried at the
moment.
Weve struggled to give con-
fidence to the financiers. We
were turned down by many, and
just when were about to start
operations, the ministry calls for
elections, Mr Kioko noted.
Principal Secretary Wilson Songa
has asked governors in coee grow-
ing areas asking them to organise
election for the new board, which
has sparked a leadership row.

SHANGHAI, Thursday
T
he US food supplier at the
centre of an expired meat
scandal in China has apol-
ogised, as KFC and Pizza Huts
parent company said it would
stop using the rms products
in the key Chinese market.
Shanghai authorities at the
weekend shut a plant owned by
privately-held OSI Group for
mixing out-of-date meat with
fresh product, and on Wednes-
day detained ve ocials from
the OSI subsidiary, which oper-
ated it.
Chinese state media have
taken aim at foreign rms, call-
ing for stronger regulation in a
country which has seen repeated
problems with food safety.
OSI chairman and CEO Shel-
don Lavin said he had no defence
for the case, according to a state-
ment on the companys China
website dated Thursday.
What happened at Husi
Shanghai is completely unaccept-
able, Mr Lavin said, referring
to China unit Shanghai Husi
Food Co.
It was terribly wrong and I am
appalled that it ever happened
in the company that I own, he
said, adding authorities have
inspected the companys other
facilities in China and had not
found any issues.
Besides Shanghai, OSI has
eight other production facili-
ties in China, according to its
website.
The Shanghai factorys
customers in China included
McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut,
coee chain Starbucks, Burger
King, 7-Eleven convenience
stores and Papa Johns Pizza,
according to the companies.
US burger chain Carls Jr also
used its products, Chinese media
said on Thursday.
In Japan, McDonalds and con-
venience store chain Family Mart
sold chicken from the Shanghai
factory, but have stopped.
Yum Brands, which operates
over 4,600 KFC restaurants
and 1,100 Pizza Hut branches
in China, said it will stop using
products from all of OSIs
factories in the country and
threatened legal action. OSI
has supplied Yum in China
since 2008.
Yum China will look at the
nal results of the government
inspection and reserves the right
to take legal action against OSI
Group, it said in a statement
posted on its ocial China mi-
croblog late on Wednesday.
Yum has sought to reassure
Chinese consumers over food
safety after an earlier scare
of avian inuenza and a 2012
controversy involving exces-
sive levels of antibiotics found
in its chicken.
Separately, McDonalds said it
would no longer cooperate with
OSIs Shanghai plant, but would
instead use products from the
companys other arms in Hebei
and Henan provinces, according
to a statement. (AFP)

LONDON, Thursday
Standard Chartered Bank stood
behind its top brass on Thursday
after a report pointed to a possible
boardroom shake-up, which is fo-
cused on emerging markets.
The board of Standard Char-
tered notes rumours in some
media outlets on succession
planning for the group CEO, and
chairman, said a statement issued
to the London stock market.
The board wants to be abso-
lutely clear that it is united in its
support of both (chief executive)
Peter Sands and (chairman) Sir
John Peace (above), and the
management team, in delivering
the refreshed strategy, restoring
the bank to profitable growth
and delivering returns for our
shareholders.
The Financial Times had re-
ported that Peace has been
urged to conduct a search both
internally and externally over the
next 12 months, citing three peo-
ple familiar with the matter.
StanChart hit back: We dont
accept these media rumours. No
succession planning is taking place
as a result of recent investor pres-
sure. (AFP)

Make impressive presentations
Impressive presentations on a subject, idea, design, product and service can yield splendid responses, and even
become the turning point of your career. If you are in a position that will at one point or another require that you make
presentations, then you need to acquire good oral skills, if you havent done so already.
Start by understanding who your audience will be, so that you specifically design the content of your presentation to
their needs. Develop a relevantly captivating approach to the presentation, and rehearse this in front of a mirror, or
before friends and family.
You could record your rehearsal to listen to later, and make improvements, as necessary. During the actual
presentation, capitalise on your strongest skills. This will ensure that any shortcoming is overshadowed. Dress sharply
to stand out, but dont overdo it as this may divert attention. Express confidence, even if you have to act it. Be pleasant
and remain calm. Dramatise your examples. Speak as if you are addressing the person furthest from you, if you are not
using a microphone. Obviously, you must be heard, which also means that you must speak clearly.
Work checklist
Do you forget to do some assignments at work? Dont take it lightly. Soon, you might miss out on a breakthrough deal for
the simple reason that you forgot to make a phone call at the crucial moment. Forgetful or not, it is good practice to draw a
checklist of the work you have set out to do in a day or week, particularly if the assignments are many. The checklist will help
you audit your progress for better efficiency.
Register with job alert sites
The Internet is well endowed with sites that offer free job alerts. Many of these sites give subscribers the option of narrowing
down their alerts to regions and careers of choice. Its time to give them a try. Most of these sites dont charge for the service,
so there is nothing to lose (apart from a few adverts that will cram your inbox) by subscribing to them and getting frequent
notifications. You may just get a good job out of the arrangement.

VACANCY ADVERTISEMENT
Job adverts tell a lot
A job advertisement will usually tell you a lot about the organisation that
is recruiting. It is good practice to look at vacancy notices beyond the
surface. Read between the lines to assess the value of the organisation,
particularly if it is an institution you hardly know anything about. Find
avenues to get further background information before making your move.
There is nothing as painful as changing jobs only to realise that you have
simply jumped into the fire from a not-so-hot frying pan, after all.
Understand your appointment
contract
Do you understand your job contract well or did you pick it in a rush
at the point of employment, rushed to the pay package and benefits
section, and then stashed it in your suitcase at home? You need to be
constantly in touch with the details about the agreement you signed with
your employer so that you can immediately point things out when your
supervisor is overstepping the deal. You also need to be conversant with
it in order that you do not unknowingly breach it.

Maintaining the right body language
Nothing speaks volumes more than body language. Faced with a
job interview, your body language will form a key pointer to your
attitude. Recruiting managers are often keen on body movement
and postures of job candidates. Alternatively, even if they are not
particularly looking out for your body language, some of your actions
just raise some attention.
Continuous fidgeting during an interview, for example, is a sign of
extreme nervousness. Interviewers usually accept some amount
of nervousness but when you display extreme discomfort, then the
interpretation is that you are unable to handle pressure.
Maintaining eye contact is recommended during interviews but do
not overdo it to the level that the panel feels intimidated.
In short, dont stare. Glancing out of the window or peering at other
objects in the room during conversation implies a lack of interest on
your part.
Do not slouch on the seat. It depicts an I dont care attitude.
Crossing your arms on your chest is usually considered a sign of
unfriendliness. Women, in particular, like this posture. Avoid it during
a job interview.
Fear is about attitude
It is normal to feel anxious during a job interview but when that
anxiety translates into fear, then the implication is that you are not
confident about your qualifications. You need to develop the right
attitude to be able to contain excessive anxiety during recruitment
exercise.
Management experts argue that when you are confident that you
have the right qualifications, chances are that you will be calmer
during the interview. You need therefore, to have confidence in your
qualifications, which means you should target jobs where you are
sure you qualify for.
Taking job talks seriously
Some companies have policies for recruiting fresh graduates
as management trainees. Many times, they will move around
universities or other professional institutions of learning to give talks
about their employment opportunities. As a student on the last lap
of studies, take advantage of such opportunities to network with
potential employers. Participate in the discussion and show interest.
Pick up contacts you can call up later as follow up. It is the first big
step you will have made towards networking for faster employment.
Do your own research
Prospective employers will usually tell you only the good things
about them. Just like you, they are keen on selling themselves as
good people to work for. They will never reveal their weakness to
job-seekers.
Thats why you need to research on them. Get details of the
company as much as you can. Use all honest means at your
disposal. Search engines on the Internet do sometimes reveal a lot.
Thats one area you could explore. If you are lucky and you know
someone working for the company, seek their honest opinion about
your would-be supervisor, work schedules, treatment of staff, and so
on. Is the work environment comparable to the one at your current
place?
Establish whether the position you are applying for is newly created.
If it is an old one, you may want to know why the holder of the
position is leaving. The information is vital. It could stop you from
leaping from the frying pan into the fire.
Attitude matters a lot
A group of company directors sat down recently to assess the
performance of various middle-level managers. The name of one
manager immediately came up. None of the directors disputed the
fact that the manager was a high performer. But one director pointed
out the managers arrogant and rude character.
After a lot of discussion, all the directors were convinced that the
manager had an attitude problem. The fellow missed an opportunity
for promotion. His attitude did him in.
Indeed, your job attributes are very much controlled by your attitude
toward people, events, and things. A bad attitude will always stand
in your way to career progression. Learn to communicate effectively
with other people to work well with them. Build good relationships at
work and establish lasting and useful networks.
Send an application letter, too
Even if youve been asked to simply send your CV, include an
application letter. In such a case though, the letter does not have to
take the usual pitching tone, just a note that introduces your CV and
explains why you have submitted it in the first place.
Call for details
The job application has not specified the name of the person to
whom you should send your application. You have no idea who
the person is. Do you start your letter in the traditional Dear sir/
madam? As much as there is no harm in doing so, it is better to try
and establish their names. Use the contact details indicated on the
vacancy notice to get the name of the person. Once you get that,
address the person by name. It gives your letter that personal touch.

VACANCY
MONITORING, EVALUATION & LEARNING MANAGER
Leave out weaknesses
When applying for a job, never discuss your weaknesses and then attempt
to explain them, all in a spirit of honesty. You dont have to reveal everything.
But dont lie. Stick to your strengths, remembering that your mission is to get
to the interview table, and not to give them excuses to throw your application
into the dustbin.
Get it in writing
Dont put all your eggs in one basket of verbal job offers, even if its from
a trusted employer. You should never resign from your present job on the
basis of such an offer. Wait until you get a written commitment. Unforeseen
events may occur in between and influence the decision of your prospective
employer. You could then end up without a job. The absence of a written
commitment makes it easy for them to rescind an offer.
Learn from your mistakes
There is no harm in asking an employer who has just written you a regret letter
to share with you the reasons that may have influenced them not to consider
you as the candidate of choice. Tell them you want to improve on your
weaknesses. A good human resource manager will share this information with
you. Make use of any advice presented.

Interviewers need training too
You do not want to spend a lot of money hiring the wrong person for the vacant job not again. It has
happened to your company before, and youve not quite been able to pinpoint what might have caused it.
Have you ever stopped to consider that the problem might have been caused by certain weaknesses by
the interviewer(s)?
Interviewing requires some techniques to get out the best of information from people. Use poor
techniques and you could end up with the least qualified candidate. Experts recommend that managers
who are likely to be involved in interviewing job applicants be trained through short seminars to equip
them with the right tools and processes for assessing job candidates.
Have the pulse of the organisation on your fingers
Negative vibes at the workplace is not something you want to surprise you as a manager of an
institution. Good supervision requires that you at pace with day-to-day events at the workplace, and
clearly understand the feelings of employees. One of the most practical ways to do this is stop being
aloof. Interact closely with colleagues, whatever their levels at work. Maintain an open-door policy to
encourage people to talk to you openly about their thoughts.
You will be amazed at how much information will flow to your desk, which could be useful. This way,
you will most likely feel any negative energies that may be seething within the company and be able to
defuse them before things get out of hand.

National secondary school volley-
ball boys champions Hospital Hill will
carry Nairobi Countys hopes at the
Airtel Rising Stars National Games
that get underway at Kakamega High
School from August 4 to 9.
Hospital Hill were the only cham-
pions who defended their title at the
Metropolitan region games in Loitok-
tok last weekend as both Upper Hill
and Olympic Girls surrendered their
respective football crowns.
Hospital Hill will also be Nairobis
sole representative in the ball games
at the national championship.
The reigning champions though
had to dig in for the victory after
being pushed all the way by Utithi
especially in the rst set which they
won narrowly 25-23.
They saw out the second set 25-
20 before cruising to a 25-17 win in
the nal set to seal their place in the
national championship.
Coach Joseph Mwangi admitted that
his charges went into the match under
pressure and allowed their opponents
to take advantage.
I think we experienced some stage
fright when the game started. I noticed
it and told the boys to calm down and
play the game as a normal match,
Kamau said.

Rival coaches
plot for FIVB
GP debut tie
BY DAVID KWALIMWA

in Mexico City
When Kenya make their debut
in the FIVB Grand Prix against
host nation Mexico tomorrow
morning at the Olympic de la
Perrera Hall the composition of
the teams technical bench will
make for a curious sight.
The teams head coach David
Lungaho will for first time
ever pair up with his newly ap-
pointed assistant Japheth Munala
(pictured) in a high prole tour-
nament.
The two coaches are arguably
the best volleyball brains in the
country but in recent years they
have built an unending rivalry
both on the home and continen-
tal stage.
The clubs that the two men
lead - Kenya Prisons and Kenya
Pipeline - are not only Kenyas
top teams but also continental
powerhouses. It is never busi-
ness as usual when Lungaho
and Munala meet.
Returned the favour
Last year alone, Munalas Kenya
Pipeline defeated their local arch
rivals twice in the Kenya Volleyball
Federation (KVF) league matches.
But Lungahos Kenya Prisons re-
turned the favour by beating their
nemesis in the competitions play-
os at the Nazarene University
in November to win the overall
league title.
Prisons has also defeated Pipe-
line in the semi-nals of the last
two editions of the Africa Club
Championships in Madagascar
(2013) and Tunisia (2014).
Our rivalry is a healthy one that
has developed volleyball in Kenya
and the continent, Munala told
Daily Nation Sport at the Fiesta
Hotel in Mexico City, where the
national team is residing.
At the moment, all the teams
energies and attention are focused
on their prospects at the Grand
Prix. Munala was appointed to
assist Lungaho by the Kenya
Volleyball Federation (KVF) spe-
cically for this championship.

With Uganda and Ethiopia both having

panning just the silver and two bronze
medals on the rst two days.

ing in four nals inside one hour from 7:

Kenyans will line up in the mens 5,000m
nal (Frederick Kipruto, Moses Mukono)
besides competing in qualifying races in
the mens steeplechase, womens 1,500m
and mens 800m nal.
Meanwhile, when many Kenyans
thought they had seen the last of Ethio-
pias world beating women stars with the
fading away of multiple world and Olympic
champions and record holders Meseret
Defar and Tirunesh Dibaba, there was a
surprise in store in the 5,000 metres at
Hayward Field on Wednesday night.
This when the Ethiopian pair of Ale-
mitu Haroye and Alemitu Hawi pounded
the track in synchronised running, akin
to two professional cyclists of a tandem
bike, to take gold and silver, leaving the
minor medal to Kenya.
Haroye won in 15 minutes 10.08 seconds
while Hawi posted a 15:10.46 personal best
for silver leaving Kenyas Agnes Tirop a
distant third in 15:43.12, but this despite
a nagging thigh injury.
It was a good contest, Haroye who out
sprinted her compatriot with 40 metres
to go, said.
At the start the conditions were
not good but it got better towards the
end.Kenyas Tirop, an 18-year-old Form
One student at Kosirai Girls High School
braved a late injury sustained here to ght
for the bronze medal.
At the close of competition on Wednes-
day, the Czech Republic, topped the
medals table with two gold medals with
Kenya placed eighth with one silver and

Kenyas amateur golf action shifts
to the coast for the 2014 Coast Open
at the Mombasa Golf Clubs links
course this weekend.
A eld of 102 players had been listed
to play by end of entry deadline on
Wednesday evening.
Coming just a day after yesterdays
Coast Junior Open at the same venue,
this years Coast Open, Kenyas old-
est national golf event that started in
1913, has once again attracted multi-
ple sponsors. They include Tourism
Finance Corporation, Mitchell Cotts,
Shiva Carrier, Crown Beverages and
Heineken Africa.
The eld, made up mostly by sin-
gle gure handicap players, includes
Golfer of The Year (GOTY) defend-
ing champion John Karichu, who
also leads this years series. Early
this month Limuru Country Clubs
Karichu lost his home title to Vet
Labs Nelson Simwa who red three
identical rounds of 70 each to win
by a shot from Karichu. Karichu had
red 68, 73 and 70 for 211.
The two plus Golf Parks Boniface
Koskei, a surprise winner of this
years Kenya Amateur Matchplay
Championship are likely to attract a
lot of attention in Mombasa.
To challenge them for the Barry
Cup donated by Percy Barry in 1913,
will be, among others, Tony Omuli,
Dennis Saikwa, Kenneth Bollo and
George Felix from Golf Park, Limurus
Francis Kimani and Paul Muchangi,
Vet Labs Robinson Owiti and Njoro
Country Clubs Alfred Nandwa.
Mombasa and Coast as a whole will
depend on their youthful contingent
led by national team player Daniel
Nduva (pictured) who beat Golf
Parks Tony Omuli by two shots in
lasts championship, to keep the cup
at home.
Supporting him in the hunt for
points and the cup are juniors Adel
Balala and Mathew Wahome, club
captain Alan Dainty, George Munyao
and Mombasa Golf Club chairman
Eric Nyongesa.
Teeing o for those drawn in the
morning is set for 7am and 11.55am
for the afternoon draw. Away at Nandi
Bears in Nandi County, 120 players are
drawn for the fourth leg of the Kenya
Forest Service golf Challenge.
Being the only event in the North
Rift region this weekend, all the lead-
ing golfers from Nandi, Kitale, and
Eldoret are expected to battle it out
for top honours.

E
ternal rivals Gor Mahia and AFC
Leopards will lock horns this
weekend in a match that has all
the ingredients of a classic derby.
Going into the match though, both
teams will be mulling a season that
has up to this point been far from
smooth.
Although perched on top of the
Kenyan Premier League table, Gor
Mahia are grappling with nancial
diculties. Added to that they were
ignominiously kicked out of the GOtv
Shield last weekend by football feath-
erweights GFE 105.
Leopards, on the other hand, de-
spite having lesser nancial worries,
are enduring a poor run in the league.
Since the beginning of the season,
the team has been conned to the
unfamiliar lower half of the table. On
Sunday, Ingwe will be looking to prove
that their current position in the table
is an aberration whereas KOgalo are
determined to not only consolidate
their lead but also to avenge their
painful 3-1 loss to their old enemies
seven weeks ago.
Gor Mahia coach Bobby William-
son, calm as always, insists that the
match is not a matter of life and
death, although its an open secret
that KOgalos fans are looking at
this derby, possibly the last one this
season, as nothing less than a revenge
mission.
The GOtv Shield exit is now be-
hind us. We are tasked with greater
challenges in terms of defending our
league title as well as doing well in the
forthcoming Cecafa Club Champion-
ships, Williamson told Daily Nation
Sport yesterday.
Worrying statistic
It is very dicult to predict the
outcome of the derby, but I believe
the players will give their best, he
added.
While both teams are guaranteed
support from their ercely partisan
12th man, a worrying statistic for the
Scotsman is that KOgalo is yet to win
a derby in his tenure. Leopards coach
Pieter De Jongh, on the other hand,
racked up his rst derby win within
weeks of his appointment.
Leopards will also draw condence
from their timely return to winning
ways in a mid-week xture against
Nairobi City Stars. While Leopards
have struggled to score goals this
term, they have managed victories
over title contenders Tusker title
holders Gor Mahia.

Milan I can only say thank you for every-
thing. The Brazilian had a mixed season

Valencia, which disrupted his preparation

As expected, Kenyas best known professional
Dismas Indiza, walked away with the top prize in
the inaugural Rapid Challenge tournament at the
par 71 Muthaiga Golf Club course yesterday.
Starting the day with a two shots advantage over
local pro Nicholas Rokoine, the long hitting Indiza
from Mumias Golf Club recovered from a double
bogey over Muthaigas toughest par four-eighth,
and two earlier bogeys at the third and seventh,
to post a level par 71 and a total of two under par
total of 211.
I pushed my driver to the right at the eighth, got
onto the green with three shots, but made a three
putts said Indiza. Earlier, he had picked up two
birdies at the fth and sixth of the front nine.
Rolled a birdie
He started the back nine well rolling in a birdie
at the par ve-10th, but three putted the 11th. He
however managed to birdie the 13th which cost
him a place in the Kenya Opens money list a few
years ago.
He closed the nine with a birdie at the home
green (18th), to take the rst prize of Sh70,500 with
two shots to spare from Railways Njuguna Ngugi
who red one under par 70 in the nal round that
included four birdies and three bogeys for 213.
Rokoine meanwhile dropped to third place with
216 after a three over par 74. Birdies became elu-
sive for Rokoine who only managed a birdie at the
tough par ve-seventh, having bogeyed the rst
and a ve at the par three-second.
Muthaigas resident professional Anil Shah, like
his colleague Rokoine, shot three over par 74 to
wind up in fourth place with a total of 218 and
a shot better than Ajay Shah (72), David Opati
(71), and John Wangai who also shot level par 71
in the nal round. A total of 33 professionals and
six amateurs had been listed to play.

Louis van Gaals reign as manager

In the rst match of van Gaals
(right) tenure, Wayne Rooney scored
twice in the rst half, converting a
penalty in the 42nd minute after
Galaxy midfielder A.J. Delagarza
handled a cross from Antonio Va-
lencia. Three minutes later, Los
Angeles defender Tommy Meyer
failed to intercept Danny Welbecks
cross, giving Rooney another chance
to beat Jaime Penedo.
Welbeck scored Uniteds third goal
in the 13th minute with a 25-yard
strike that crashed in o the post.
Youngster Reece James, 20, and
Ashley Young added two goals apiece
in the second half as the English

Van Gaal was tapped two months

Keino ushered
the ag into the
Emirates Arena
in Glasgow, Scot-
land, just minutes
after Queen Eliza-
beth II, who wore
a white dress, had
made her entry in
her ocial royal
Cadillac car to a rousing crowd.
Alongside Kipchoge were other
representatives of the six regions of
the Commonwealth Games Gra-
ham Randall, Chantal Peticleric, Ian
Thopre, Shelley Ann Fraser-Pryce and
Nicol Davie.
In his heyday, Kipchoge won three
gold medals at the Games. His tri-
umph in the One Mile and Three Mile
events in the 1996 Kingston Games
were followed by the 1,500m gold,
which came in the 1970 Edinburgh
Games.
He later won bronze in 5,000 at the
Edinburgh event.
Before Keinos entry into the arena,
Kenya, which is represented by 195
athletes at the Glasgow Games, strut-
ted into the home of Celtic Football
Club led by overall deputy captain
Mercy Obiero, who carried the na-
tional ag.
Obiero, who is making her second
appearance as a weightlifter at the
Club Games, was guided into the
stadium by a Scottish Terrier labelled
Kenya and his handler to rousing
cheers from the 40,000 spectators.
Fundraiser for children
The ceremony, which featured a
volunteer cast of 1,319 and 41 Scot-
tish Terriers, saw Rod Stewart, Amy
MacDonald and John Barrowman rock
the evening away with great musical
performances.
And, for the rst time, the opening
ceremony also featured a Common-
wealth-wide fundraiser for children
thanks to the Games partnership with
Unicef. Speeches were led by First
Minister Alex Salmond, culminating
in a message from the British mon-
arch, who remembered the victims
of the MH17 plane crash by leading
the crowd in observing a minute of
silence in their honour.
Kenyans will today remember the
good old days when their boxers
reigned supreme at the Games.
Out of the teams nine boxers,
including two women, four will be
in action today. Benson Gicharu has
been handed a prelimanary round bout

sayumba@ke.nationmedia.com
Defending champion Jason Dunford
opted to take it easy, nishing second
in his 50m buttery heat and qualify
for the semi-nals at the Tollcross
Swimming Centre.
The 27-year-old All Africa Games
50m and 100m buttery champion
tapped the wall in 23.76 seconds,
behind winner Proud Benjamin from
England in 23.17.
It was a good swim just as I ex-
pected. I didnt want to push it hard
since I expect a lot in the semi-nals,
said Dunford, former Olympic 100m
buttery record holder (51.14). I won
in 2010 Delhi in 23.35 but I want to
improve on that time since I have been
posting quick times in training.
Dunford, who was ranked fth over-
all over the distances where Benjamin
posted the best time, was due to swim
at 10pm last night while the nal is
due today at 9pm.
Wrap up in style
He will later compete in 100m but-
tery and freestyle I want to wrap
up in style these being my nal years
in swimming before I call it quits,
said Dunford. Five of Dunfords col-
leagues failed to sail through past
their respective heats.
Issa Abdulah Mohammed nished
26th in overall classication in the
50m buttery in 26.00 as Micah Fern-
andez settled 16th overall in mens
200m heats in 2:24.15 to drown his
dreams of a semi-nal show.
Rebecca Wacui Kamau (33.83)
and Martha Opiyo (36.81) might
have won their respectively womens
50m breaststroke heats but all was in
vain as they nished 19th and 32nd
in the overall classication. Atkinson
Alia from Jamaica tore the waters in a
Games record time of 30.49 to lead
16 other semi-nal qualiers.
Opiyo would nish fourth in wom-
ens 100m buttery in 1:10.21 in an
event won by ErasitoTieri from Fiji
in 1:08.08.

Farah pulls out
of competition
Glasgow
The Commonwealth Games
were dealt a huge blow yesterday
when Englands double Olympic
and world champion Mo Farah
announced he was withdrawing
due to tness concerns.
Alongside Jamaican sprint star
Usain Bolt, Farah is one of the
most recognisable faces of track
and eld and his absence will be
sorely missed.
Theres no question that were
disappointed, admitted David
Grevemberg, the chief executive
of Glasgow 2014.
Certainly therell be some
disappointed people, but theres
plenty of great athletes that are
coming and are here. Were look-
ing forward to welcoming people
to some great competition over
the next few days and when the
athletics kicks o on Sunday.
Farah, the 5,000 and 10,000 me-
tres Olympic and world champion,
was recently laid low by illness and
has decided to pull out of
t h e Commonwealths
to work on his
fitness ahead
of next months
E u r o p e a n
Championships
in Zurich.
I have taken
the tough decision
to withdraw from
the Commonwealth
Games, Farah, 31,
said in a statement
released by Team
England.
I really wanted to add
the Commonwealth titles to
my Olympic and World Champi-
onships, but the event is coming a
few weeks too soon for me as my
body is telling me its not ready to
race yet. Best wishes to my fellow
athletes in Glasgow.
Farah had been preparing for
the Commonwealth Games in
Font Romeu in southern France
and he revealed that he will re-
main there in the build-up to the
European Championships, which
begin on August 12.
The sickness I had two weeks
ago was a big setback for me,
he added. Training is getting
better here in Font Romeu but
I need another few weeks to get
back to the level I was at in 2012
and 2013.

across 11 days of competition with
more than 4,500 athletes from 71 na-
tions competing, making the event the

The Queen called on those
present to unite in dicult times
as a minutes silence was held for the

ight disaster.
Eighty-two of the 298 people who
died last week when the plane came
down over eastern Ukraine were from
Commonwealth nations.
The Malaysian team also entered
the stadium with their ag at half-mast
and wore black armbands.
To you, the Commonwealth
athletes, I send my good wishes for
success in your endeavours. Your ac-
complishments over the coming days
will encourage us all to strengthen
the bonds that unite us, said the
Queen.
You remind us that young people,
those under 25 years of age, make
up half of our Commonwealth citizens;

A
parliamentary com-
mittee yesterday
approved the national
security surveillance system
award to Safaricom.
The tender award to the
mobile service provider
is for the provision of a
national surveillance, com-
munication, and command
and control system for the
National Police Service.
The Administration and
National Security Com-
mittee of the National
Assembly said at the con-
clusion of its investigation
into the award that it was
satised due diligence was
carried out.
The team concluded that
the procurement process for
the Sh18.8 billion project
was above board and all
necessary stakeholders
were consulted. It thus
recommends that the Na-
tional Assembly approves
the tender award and the
signing of the contract to
Safaricom.
The committee has de-
fended the use of direct
procurement arguing that
it was necessitated by the
urgency to sort out the se-
curity problems.
The insecurity problems
in this country were such
that the other methods
of procurement, save for
direct procurement would
have been impractical ...
the circumstances therefore
justify direct procurement
in this tender, the report
states in its nal report now
before the House.
The committee did not
find any ulterior motive
on the choice of Safaricom
to implement the project
either, noting that given
the urgency and the pre-
carious security situation,
Safaricom was the most
appropriate entity.
It adds that the company
has the requisite nancial
capability and experience
in providing a telecom-
munication network and
infrastructure.
The committee seized the
matter following media re-
ports in May that provoked
public concern that Safari-
com had been awarded the
tender for the sensitive
security system through
direct procurement.
The team directed that
the signing of the contract
for the project be put on
hold last month until all
arising concerns were ad-
dressed.
Among others, it met top
ocers in the Ministry of
Interior and Coordination
of National Government
including the technical com-
mittee which evaluated and
approved the tender.
Eyes now turn to MPs,
in whose hands, the fate of
the tender lies.

F
ootball is nice. And
entertaining. And
unpredictable. And
addictive. Very addictive.
In the world of sports, it remains
the most popular around the
world, and it is easy to see why.
When 22 men and, nowadays,
women are let loose on a pitch
and handed a ball, they lose
themselves in the drama.
The players are the stars in their
own movies. Young, starry-eyed
and athletic, they are the engine of
the game. And the fuel too.
Their job is to not only score
goals, but also do it in a most
entertaining, skilful way. They are
soldiers on a battleeld, protected
from harm by rules of engagement,
and paid a fortune to kick a ball
around.
Football, for the hundreds of its
fans, is pure bliss and raw, nervy
emotion. It is suspense that dwarfs
Hollywood, and heartbreak worse
than a lovers jibe. It is a unifying
factor, a militaristic call to defend
the pride of an entire nation, and
a celebration of the skills and
goal-ferreting abilities of the 22
on the pitch.
Earn a fortune
For their sweat, the worlds best
players earn a fortune. Portugal
star Christiano Ronaldo trousered
a cool Sh7 billion last year from
salary, winnings allowances and
endorsements.
Argentinian Lionel Messi earned
about Sh5.6 billion, while Swedish
star Zlatan Ibrahimovic took home
about Sh3.5 billion.
Sports blog, Sporteology, reports
that Ivorian Yaya Toure, the only
African on the list of the top 10
earners last year, earned about
Sh1.9 billion Sh1.6 billion
from salary and winnings top-
ups, and Sh219 million from
endorsements.
Clearly, then, the best of the
best cream home a thick one. But,
unfortunately, for a great number
of these young billionaires, the
riches evaporate as soon as they
retire from competitive football.
And they retire quite early the
average age when they hang their
boots is 34 years meaning they
still have many more years ahead
of them in which to squander their
billions.
Off the pitch, a footballer is
no longer that attractive. He
is no longer a star, rarely gets
endorsements, and even more
rarely makes it to the news pages.
For a 34-year-old, that can be quite
debilitating.
Studies have found that three
out of ve former English Premier
League footballers go bankrupt
due to bad economic decisions
or lack of nancial planning, and
while it is true, for example, that
Englishman Wayne Rooney or
Brazilian Neymar may never have
to do a days work after they call
it a day, that is quite a startling
statistic.
Away from the glitzy lifestyle of
top-league football, the reality for
many players when they retire is
anything but cosy. Excessive
spending characterised by
competition among players on
who has the latest Lamborghini,
who can gamble well, and who
can drink whom under the table
and alimony are a football
players worst enemy.
Declared insolvent
In May last year, for instance,
former England goalkeeper David
James dived into insolvency after
declaring himself bankrupt
(through a debtors petition)
following a divorce case.
The Daily Telegraph reported
that he earned 20 million (about
Sh3 billion) in his 25-year career,
and that he also secured other
lucrative contracts in his career,
including working as a model for
Armani.
The Sun reported that James,
who played in the 2010 World
Cup tournament in South Africa as
Englands number one and spent
most of his career at the highest
level of the game playing for
Liverpool, Manchester City and
West Ham built up debts
following a costly divorce from
his wife Tanya in 2005. He is now
a pundit for BT Sport, a group of
sports television channels in the
United Kingdom and Ireland.
African greats
In Africa, many young players
dream of joining the best clubs in
the world and earning a fortune
in the process. They look up to
such continental greats as Didier
Drogba, Samuel Etoo, the Tour
Brothers, Nwankwo Kanu and Jay
Jay Okocha, who have played at
the highest level of the game and
inspired a whole generation to
dusty village pitches.
But bankruptcy is no respecter
of roots, and so some African
stars who have earned the
coveted opportunity to shine and
bag fortunes have also frittered it
all away.
Cameroonian Eric Djemba-
Djemba easily comes to mind.
Djemba-Djemba was in 2007
declared bankrupt despite having
trousered a cool 75,000 a month
(approximately Sh11.3 million)
while playing for English side
Manchester United.
For the midelder, who shone at
the 2002 World Cup, earning such
a huge amount of money monthly
was more than he could handle,
and he admitted to blowing it
all away via a lavish lifestyle. He
however claims that he has since
grown up, and that, at 33, he now
loves the simple things in life.
I have good memories of being
at Manchester United, but I was
too young, I was only 21, he told
the Daily Record in February this
year. It was dicult handling
the money. Now I am a grown
up, I have learned. I am happy
with what I have achieved in my
career.

Across the border from
Cameroon into neighbouring
Nigeria, former Chelsea player
Celestine Babayaro has creditors
hot on his heels after being
declared bankrupt in 2011. The
player, who was considered to
be Chelseas ace, was reported
to earn 25,000 (Sh3.8 million)
a week at the height of his career
with Chelsea.
After an injury-plagued spell at
St James Park, Babayaros career
stalled after he moved to the US
in the hope of starring alongside
David Beckham at LA Galaxy.
However, he was released by the
club, and his hopes of making a
comeback with Portsmouth were
dogged by a bout of malaria.
Babayaro is said to have racked
up debt despite having a fully paid
contract at Newcastle when he was
released in 2007.
Across the pond, former England
international Paul Gascoigne has
been battling addiction to gin for
the last 16 years, and has gone
through rehabilitation seven
times.
According to the Daily Mirror,
this battle with alcohol has cost
Gascoigne a pretty penny (paying
around Sh900,000 a month to be
helped o the bottle), and that this
has added to his nancial woes.
Six years ago, Paul Gascoigne
had the tax collector on his
back after being slapped with a
bankruptcy petition of over Sh30
million in unpaid taxes.
As a high profile player, he
earned a fortune while playing for
Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur,
Middlesbrough and Everton. At
the peak of his career, he also
secured a number of lucrative
sponsorships, but since he stopped
playing in 2004, he has suered
alcohol and drug addictions, as
well as mental health problems.
In an interview with the Daily
Mail in November 2011, he said
that, after retiring from football,
he found a ready companion in
drink and cocaine.
I went loopy, he said.
The phone calls I made were
unbelievable. The worst one was
when I went four months without
food or water... and four bottles of
whisky a day. Football was what I
lived for, but that was gone.
Paul talked about his checkered
past in his 2006 book Being Gazza:
Tackling My Demons. In it, he
detailed undergoing therapy for
bulimia, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, bipolar disorder, and
alcoholism.
These cases highlight the sorry
lives of many football players
after retirement. Xpro, a charity
organisation set up for the welfare
of footballers after retirement, says
that despite some earning an
average of Sh4.5 million a week,
many either squander their cash
or take up misleading investment
advisers.
It might sound incredible to
normal fans, but it can and does
happen, the organisations chief
executive Geo Scott is quoted as
saying on xpro.org.
The charity adds that after a
year in retirement, 33 per cent
of players get divorced while 40
per cent are declared bankrupt
within ve years of playing their
last game, and 80 per cent suer
from osteoarthritis.
However, Xpros gures have
been disputed by the chief
executive of Englands Professional
Footballers Association, Gordon
Taylor, who argues that the actual
gures are between 10 per cent
and 20 per cent.
The fact is, as regards them
going bankrupt, its nothing like
those gures (three out of every
ve), Taylor told BBC radio in
March last year. Footballers, with
very few exceptions, arent going
to earn as much money when they
nish playing. We encourage young
players to save for the future, for
when they retire.
According to sundayoliseh.tv, 65
per cent of sportsmen go broke
after quitting the limelight, and
the numbers are worse among
African stars, whose wealth is
shared with family.
The site also states that most
stars meet their spouses when they
are active and are at their best.
But when retirement docks, it
not only creates a change of
lifestyle, but also a change in
social standing, which ends up
pressuring marriages.
After retirement, when many
people are expected to go slow on
their savings, several sportsmen
continue spending and living like
they used to when they were active
or at their prime.
Many spend fortunes on
jewellery, mistresses, and holiday
homes bought on loan or other
means in areas they hardly visit.
By the time they realise they are
leaking cash, it is too late.
Bankruptcy, alimony, drugs: It is a wretched life for retired footballers
coverstory
Pay us now or we go home: For African
teams, its a case of money or the boot
BY DAVID WALDSTEIN
The New York Times Syndicate
THE WORLD CUP in Brazil was a historic
one for Africa, and not just for the number
of contentious meetings, suspensions and
threatened player boycotts. For the rst time,
two teams from the soccer-adoring continent
advanced to the knockout stages of the tour-
nament.
But that sense of accomplishment suc-
cumbed to reality in a matter of hours as both
teams battled hard but lost to favoured op-
ponents, leaving behind more lasting images
of training ground strikes, cash-laden airplanes
and an assortment of missed opportunities.
Algeria lost to Germany 2-1 in overtime
and Nigeria lost to France 2-0, leaving Africa
without a team in the quarternals for the rst
time since 2006. No African team, despite a
history of dazzling players, has ever reached
the seminals.
Why do we go home early? Nigerias
coach, Stephen Keshi, said after Nigerias elim-
ination. If I were on the eld playing I dont
think I would want to go home. Maybe there
are some players without too much focus on
the game, and theres probably a lot of things
that are going on.
Five African teams qualied for the World
Cup, and three of them, including Nigeria,
engaged in some player protest or impromptu
negotiations with their soccer federations
about money they were concerned they would
never see.
Cameroon took the initiative even before
the team boarded its plane for Brazil, with the
players demanding their appearance fee for
the World Cup up front, in cash. Or else, they
said, they would not go.
The players from Ghana refused to practise
and threatened a player strike in their game
against Portugal unless they quickly received
more than $3 million (Sh263 million) cash in
hand. One day later, the players from Nigeria
also refused to practise and made the same
demand of their soccer federation: Pay us now,
in cash, or we go home.
Ultimately, the presidents of Ghana and
Nigeria intervened to settle the turmoil, but
not before more rancour bubbled up. Two of
Ghanas best players Kevin Prince Boateng
and Ali Sulley Muntari were suspended
before the nal game when the disputes grew
more personal.
The World Cup is the grandest sporting
event on the planet, a chance for every nation
to show o to the world, through its soccer
teams. But unattractive issues sometimes
emerge, too.
I think every national soccer team reects
its countrys characteristics, said Steve
Bloomeld, the author of Africa United: How
Football Explains Africa. In Africa, these
problems sometimes crop up. But it is not only
Africa. Four years ago, France fell apart, and it
wouldnt be a World Cup without seeing The
Netherlands implode.
Ghanas one-day training strike before the
arrival of their cash came two days before they
played a pivotal game against Portugal. It was
no way to prepare for a critical contest, and
Ghana lost 2-1.
Africa is a continent as diverse as any other,
but the countries that send their teams to
the World Cup often do not have the same
resources of many of their competitors. Some
of them also grapple with issues of corruption
and favouritism.
Steve Jacobs, a self-described terrible club
player from Cape Town, teaches a course
called Global Soccer, Global Politics at the New
School in New York. He noted that Algeria had
no discernible issues at this World Cup, and
played very well, but that nancial problems
tend to aict the Western African countries.
In every tournament since 1990 Cameroon
has had a problem with money, Jacobs said,
adding that there was no accountability for
some of the soccer associations in Africa, and
that they act with impunity.
I dont want to talk about this because
we have become a laughingstock, said one
Ghanaian journalist, who asked not to be
identied. He was not the same journalist who
booed the players after the Portugal game,
prompting Asamoah Gyan, a Ghanaian for-
ward, to try and ght the man.
The success of numerous African players in
the richest leagues in Europe and elsewhere is
a factor in the recurring disputes. Upon expe-
riencing the rst-class travel and guaranteed
money of those leagues, some players are less
tolerant of anything less than that from their
national soccer associations.
Bloomeld, who is a former correspondent
for The Independent newspaper in Kenya, said
African players are often distrustful of their
soccer associations and, and that he did not
blame them for feeling that way.
Most soccer associations pay their players
after the World Cup, once Fifa, world soccers
governing body, has made its disbursements.
But some players in Africa have concluded
that their only leverage comes before a World
Cup game, even it if appears they are holding
their nation for ransom.
Bloomeld reckons that star players like
Boateng and Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast
now actually have more inuence than their
own soccer associations, which enables them
to push the payment issue on behalf of their
teammates, any number of whom do not play
in Europe and do not earn nearly as much
money.
Ivory Coast did not have any public disputes
in this World Cup, but with one of the most
talented teams in the tournament, they were
disappointed not to fare better. Drogba, how-
ever, said the reason African teams havent
advanced as far as the World Cup seminals
has more to do with probability than nancial
disputes.
We only have ve teams in the World Cup
out of 32, he said

T
he all too familiar tune of
the song goes: sooolidarity
foreeeever, sooolidarity
foreeeever... Know it?
Well, this tune might just come
to life once again, unless this time
round, the targeted employer acts
quickly to avert it.
The Central Organisation of
Trade Unions (Cotu) issued a
strike notice on Sunday, July
20, demanding reinstatement of
secretary general Francis Atwoli
to the NSSF board.
Labour cabinet secretary
Kambi Kazungu had in the
week before announced that he
had ejected Mr Atwoli and the
Federation of Kenya Employers
executive director Jacqueline
Mugo, from the said board. Cotu
has given a deadline of August
4 for reversal of the decision, or
they call workers countrywide to
withdraw labour.
Earlier, the Kenya National
Union of Teachers (Knut) had
threatened to also call a strike.
Their demand concerned the
appointment of commissioners to
the Teachers Service Commission
(TSC).
If the usual pattern is to
follow, the government will play
tough and engage in all manner
of threats and counter-threats
with the concerned workers.
Predictably, Mr Kazungu has
started doing just that in response
to Cotu demands.
Strikes by workers have
become all too common in
Kenyas work environment, many
of them involving public service
employees.
Last year, teachers went on
a month-long (July) strike over
allowances and pay demands.
In the same year, health
workers in the public sector
also stopped working for two
weeks, demanding better terms
and conditions of work. In the
year before, these same sectors
had suered several strikes, also
involving university lecturers in
the public sector.
In March this year, again,
public university lecturers
stopped going to class for two
weeks over a collective bargaining
agreement (CBA) issue.
Clearly, most of these public
sector strikes tend to aect the
crucial education and health
sectors.
In many of these cases,
government representatives,
after talking tough and down
at the striking workers, had to
eventually sit with them at the
same table to negotiate. But
that would be after some messy
street demonstrations, deaths of
patients abandoned in hospitals,
and interruption of learning in
universities.
How can the frequency of such
occurrences be brought to a bare
minimum?
Labour economist, Dr Samuel
Oresi, begins his interpretation
of all these by pointing out the
common causes of strikes in
Kenya. They are, he says, wage
differentiation, poor working
conditions, and failed CBAs.
To Dr Oresi, if these were
handled professionally at all
times, strikes would be limited
because often, employees opt
for strikes after employers fail
to honour the CBAs.
Right now, industrial action
seems to be the only language
that employers (in Kenya) listen
to, says Dr Oresi.
He says he looks forward to a
situation in which the employers,
especially in the public sector, will
readily embrace trade unions and
accept the reality that employees
will from time to time want fresh
interests considered.
At the same time, says the
labour expert, employees have
also misused the provision in
the Constitution that accords
them the liberty to form unions.
The rampant creation of trade
unions have ended up diluting
their bargaining power and
created an environment where
employers can now opt for the
lowest bidder (see related article
on this page).
Prof Nyagah Kindiki, a policy
analyst and expert in international
education, shares the same view
when he says: Unless there is
a good reason to form a trade
union, new unions should not
be created.
Dr Oresi considers
representation of employees at
board level as one way to reduce
the rampant industrial actions in
the country.
He advises that employers

While the Constitution and the Labour Relations Act
provide for freedom of association among employees
and employers, the open space, unfortunately, has
not been used very wisely. Excitement has got the
better of some employees, and, unfortunately, a top
employer.
First, there has been a multiplicity of new trade
unions, the race for their registration having begun
soon after the promulgation of the Constitution in
2010. In some industries, this has resulted in unhealthy
inter-union rivalry, breaking the very purpose of
trade unionism solidarity and thus weakening
the strength of collective bargaining.
The existence of a single strong union not only
protects the employee interests more eectively, but
also halts the various unproductive activities of the
unions, and forces their leaders to concentrate on
strategic issues.
Further, it helps to bring about congenial industrial
relations by promoting orderliness in dealing with
employees and facilitating expeditious settlement
of disputes.
The state of rivalry between two unions serving
the same cadre of employees is said to be inter-union
rivalry. Inter and intra-union rivalries have been a
potent cause of industrial disputes in the country.
They are responsible for weak bargaining power of
trade unions in collective bargaining.
The rivalries are caused by several events: The
desire of political parties to have their basis among
industrial workers; personal-cum-factional politics
of union leaders; domination of unions by outside
leaders; and employer management tactic of divide
and rule, among others.
The last reason can be read in the recent creation
of the Federation of Public Service Trade Unions
of Kenya, also known as Pusetu, as an alternative
umbrella body. That it was openly supported by the
employer through Labour Cabinet Secretary Kambi
Kazungu provides room for such interpretation.
The labour laws recognise tripartite agreements.
This would make quartile deals illegal.

should acknowledge that trade unions have
a role to play in the productivity of the
labour market.
If you have a negative attitude towards
your workers as an employer, you will always
suer their wrath, he further oers. To
him, a sound wage policy to govern CBAs
is necessary.
Kindiki, who teaches policy analysis and
international education at Moi University,
believes further that if the economy was
managed to see a reduction of prices of
basic commodities, the number of strikes
would reduce.

His argument is pegged on the observation
that, often, strikes are about demands for
higher salaries and allowances to meet rising
cost of living.
When the high cost of living cannot be
equated to the salaries of the employees, a
strike is almost inevitable, just like when the
service delivered does not match the salary
earned. Wages must correspond to the service
delivered, he explains.
Prof Kindiki also believes that the
government has the responsibility to listen
to the trade unions and not ignore their
pleas. In fact, he says, the government should
even be proactive in elevating the working
conditions of workers to minimise reasons
for calling a strike.
should be sought to clip the powers
of its leaders. The powers, tenure
and impeachment processes of oce
bearers should be reviewed.
The role of government as an
outsider in trade unionism should also
be dened. Pusetu comes across as a
government project meant to scuttle
the functions of Cotu.
But what the government may not
know is that once Pusetu grows, it
could issue new demands that may
be dicult to meet.
In summary, the labour movement
is better o with one umbrella body
than several umbrellas that will not
quite shield us from the beating of
the rain.
This is a clear case of outside
interference in union matters, which
is against the spirit of good industrial
relations. It took the government
decades to recognise the civil servants
union, and one wonders why the love
for Pusetu, which in actual sense,
should be an aliate of Cotu.
Pusetu leaders should wake up and
realise that they are being used. Once
the sell-by date reaches, they will be
discarded without the kind of pomp
they enjoyed during its inauguration.

I
concluded last weeks article by
linking the leadership problems
we have to the breakdown in
the family structure. Men who are
not able to lead themselves are
not leading their families right.
Ultimately, each dysfunctional
family becomes the breeding
ground for dysfunctional leaders
of tomorrow.
We may send our children to
great schools under great teachers
but the truth is that their values will
ultimately be dominated by what
they see at home.
I will dedicate my article today
to men. Of course we all know that
being born male does not make you
a man. Males are born in the labour
room, but men are made through
intelligent, diligent and smart
labour. Smart labour is the labour
that considers all dimensions of
life, and not just the ability to
make money.
Unfortunately we live in a
generation of busy men and broken
homes, smart gadgets and dumb
heads. If men can be repositioned,
then families will be restored
and the leadership issues of our
continent will be addressed.
When you have women and
children lining up behind and being
led by men who dont know where
they are going, what do we expect?
When men are more inclined to buy
a beer than a book, what do you
expect? When men would rather
be in a bar than at home with their
families, what do you expect?
When at home, the men would
rather spend more time on their
phones talking and chatting with
people a whole world away than
have meaningful conversations
with their wives and children.
What do you expect?
It is one thing to leave an
inheritance for children, but a
totally different one to leave a
heritage. No inheritance can survive
a weak heritage. Heritage is what
ultimately denes the value of the
inheritance. Good heritage without
inheritance is always better than
inheritance without heritage.
We have seen people who were
bequeathed large inheritances and
they eventually destroyed their
lives. We have also seen people
who were left with nothing but
turned out to be very successful
citizens of society simply because
they had a good heritage.
The heritage is the mind-set that
is passed on to our children, and
it is produced by what we say and
what we do.
What heritage are we passing on
to our children? What mind-sets are
we building in them? What are we
teaching them?
We are likely to have a generation
of males in the near future, who do
not know how to treat their wives
and how to instruct and inspire
their children, and who become
the clueless oce holders.
One of the greatest cries I hear
at our leadership and mentoring
classes is to be shown the way.
Young men want direction. They
want mentors.
Unfortunately, a lot of potential
mentors are too busy to invest
some of their time and wisdom in
the next generation. Think of it
like this: When a fruit is ripe and
it is not plucked, it will become
overripe and fall to the ground.
Then it rots and attracts ies and
begins to stink. What started out as
a blessing becomes a menace.
Similarly, we have a generation
of young men today who are
waiting. They are ripe and ready
to take the world. If we do not
create time for them, they, like the
fruit, will get overripe and become
a societal menace.
Rememeber that no matter
how good we are at preserving
today, we cannot stop tomorrow
from coming. What is the point in
having a great present and ignore
possibility of a terrible future?
All we have to do is to shape the
thinking of the players of the future
the youth of today. Even though
inheritance cannot trump heritage,
it becomes a double disaster if all
we are leaving for the future is a bad
inheritance and a bad heritage.
CHANGE TALK | Its our role to shape the thinking of future players
Men, I dare say bad leadership is your fault
What heritage are
we passing on to
our children? What
mind-sets are we
building in them?
What are we teaching
them?

There was a raging debate in
Amua Sasa, and it all involved
the beautiful car that Victor had
recently received from a wealthy
client of the organisation. Her
name is Joanna. Victor had done
some work for her.
It had all began when Joanna
had called him late one afternoon,
saying she needed some work done.
She explained that she urgently
wanted documents processed for
a deal. She needed someone to
go through them and make any
necessary changes, and then have
them forwarded to her rst thing
the following morning.
It was the kind of work that
Victor did on a daily basis, so it
would be easy for him. As such,
he agreed to do the job. Being
naturally meticulous, Victor did
a great job and Joanna got the
million-dollar deal. As a token of
appreciation, she bought Victor a
brand new car. The gift provoked
dierent reactions.
Although everyone agreed that
Victor had worked hard, they were
divided as to whether or not he should
keep the costly gift. What would be the
implications of accepting such gifts
on the integrity of the organisation?
The matter was brought to the MDs
attention, who summoned Victor to
his oce.
Victor explained how he had come
to be the recipient of the gift. The
MD looked at him and asked: What
is the right thing to do? You know
our policy as an organisation. I would
like you to give me an answer by the
end of the day.
When he got back to his oce,
Victor found a group of curious
colleagues waiting for him, all full of
questions. What did the MD say? Did
he ask you to surrender the car to the
oce? Victor looked at the car keys
on his table and replied: He wants to
know what I am going to do.
One of Victors colleagues, Sababu,
asked him: I know you dont have a
car, but think for a moment: What are
the implications of keeping the car?
What would happen if you returned it
to Joanna? Would it be easier to make
this decision if it had been a smaller
gift, say a holiday at a resort of your
choice? What criteria should we use
in making such a decision?
Mawazo, another colleague,
interjected: Sometimes it is not easy
to refuse a gift, since giving and
receiving gifts is part of our culture
as Africans. Some people become
oended when you return their gift.
And seriously, Victor, you need to
upgrade from walking to driving!
It might also not be practical to
refuse it. I know of a man who was
presented with a whole cockerel
by a client in gratitude. They had
to have it for lunch since it was
making too much noise in the
oce.
When the laughter died
down, Jawabu, one of the oldest
employees of Amua said: I would
be careful. Sometimes gifts can be
traps. I knew of someone who had
taken a gift of money after having
rendered some service. Initially,
his intentions were to give back
the money to the client. For some
reason, he kept the money in his
drawer and did not inform his
employer. Each time he fell short
of money, he would pull out a note,
promising himself to replace it at
the end of the month. He never did.
Later he lost his job after he was
implicated for soliciting for bribes
from other clients.
Gifts can alter the client-employee
relationship adversely. They can
become a double-edged-sword
because the giver might expect
preferential treatment each time he
comes for service. You will not know
when you become compromised.
If you were in Victors shoes, what
would you do?

What if a client gave out a gift for a good job?

When someone as talented as you are gets
stuck behind a desk, its a crying shame. If
you feel the creative artist inside kicking to
be let out of the closet, open the doorBy all
means this world needs another Picasso

PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
It will be in your best interest today to
participate fully in what you do. Turn on
your inner light and work to the best of
your abilities and I assure you it will be
appreciated.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
Conict is not your specialty, and you may
nd yourself turning your back today on
those who seem to revel in conict. Do not
try to understand why others do what they
do or say what they say.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
You may feel like someone suddenly
poured a bucket of cold water on you
- scared, shrunken, and more than a little
disgruntled. Well, what would you do if
someone you loved felt this way?
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
You may nd yourself ghting for the upper

tense. Its sort of like when parents quarrel

You are capable of doing what you need.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
Keep things light today, in almost every
area. Balance the deep with the supercial:
water the plants, do the laundry, and clean

currents that run deep.

LEO| JULY 23 - AUG 22
The intense feelings that may have started
yesterday will get a little more intense
today. If youre enjoying this energy,
then you probably have had some deep
thoughts you will want to make a note of.
VIRGO| AUG 23 - SEP 23
If youre thirsty when you read this, it
means one of two things. Either you could
use a lot more water in your daily diet, or,
you could stand to reduce your caeine
intake to one cup a day. The serious
message here is: stay hydrated!
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
There is a cure for feeling cranky and
fed-up with people, but its probably not
something youll want to hear if you feel
this way! Take some time out and re-focus
on yourself.
SCORPIO| OCT 24 - NOV 22
If your self-condence is connected with
approval from others, you may be in a cycle
of dependence, and too much dependence
on the reactions of others can lead to
frustration.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
The disappointment you feel from conict
is connected with your desire to see people
get along. How strong is that desire?Will
it take you out of yourself and make your
moods vacillate based on how things are
going over there today?
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
It could feel challenging to express you
spontaneously today. With the current
celestial atmosphere, youre probably not
going to get your way no matter how hard
you try.

After a while, the moon
rose and moonlight ooded
the forest, making it look like it
was still daytime. Hunger was
gnawing at me. I had eaten
nothing since morning. I was
also cold. I saw a patch of tall
grass under a tree. I decided to
lie in the grass. When I got there,
I saw a black object protruding
from the grass. At rst I thought
it was a log. When I got nearer,
I realized it was a persons foot.
My heart started pounding in
fear. I concluded it must have
been the foot of a dead man. I
had heard of tales of criminals
murdering people and throwing
their corpses into this forest.
I mustered enough courage
to examine the foot with the
moonlight. I picked up a stick
and began to scrape the dirty
limb. To my utter surprise, the
foot suddenly moved. Then I
saw a human gure leap up from
the grass as if from the dead. I
stood motionless like Lots wife
when she turned into a pillar of
salt in the days of Sodom and
Gomorrah. The person started
running away from me. He then
stopped and looked back.

Madoa. We looked at each other
momentarily without speaking a

Yes-Of-Course, what are
you doing here? I asked him
at last.
And you, what are you doing
out here in the woods? he
tossed the same question back
to me. In fact, I didnt see you in
school today. Whats going on?
We continued talking as we
stared at the beautiful moon.
Its my mum, I replied. She
beat me for no reason.
These our mothers are too
much, he shouted. Even our
teachers. I cant stand them any
more.

CLASSICS AT THE GODOWN, NAIROBI
LETTERS TO ZUQKA
J
owal Jones wrote
an article last Fri-
day about the body
piercing trend in
the city. He referred
to those embrac-
ing the very old culture as
reprobates and miscreants.
As someone that loves and
actually has piercings, I found
it really oensive and sad be-
cause the writer just echoed
the majoritys shallow opinion
about body art as a whole. It
saddens me because it is plain
ignorance and as the bible
says, My people (in this case
Africans) suffer because of
lack of knowledge (about our
history and many other rel-
evant things such as history)
The writer said that those
piercing their bodies are self-
destructive and asinine. Well,
I dont think its fair to use
such a word on people who are
unwittingly more in sync with
their history... its just plain
asininity. Its the kind of mind
set that makes most Africans
believe that our ancestors ac-
tually worshipped the devil just
because they didnt know Jesus
Christ or Mohammed before
invaders brought us their gods.
Its a brain washing! Passed
down many generations to
make you hate everything you
are! But I digress.
Welcome to my history class
on Body Piercing and Modi-
cation in Africa. My name is
Ronjey and I have four body
piercings. I wear them for
historical purposes, and as
body art. Body piercing and
modication have been prac-
ticed in Africa for thousands
of years for various reasons.
Piercings throughout Africa
represented pride, beauty and
wealth because as you may or
may not know, Africa had some
of the worlds oldest and rich-
est kingdoms, meaning they
had wealth and minerals such
as gold which was not only
used in trade and burial but
also worn as jewelry.
Our own Maasai are the only
symbol of Kenyan heritage the
world over because they have
been the slowest at adapting
to the western ways of living.
But even then, we all laugh
at the joke about somebody
answering that there were two
men and a Maasai when asked
how many people were in the
matatu.
Pokot, Samburu and Kikuyu
are just a few examples of
Kenyan communities that had
piercings. Up North, Mursi
women of Southern Ethio-
pia wear plates on their lips
12 centimeters in diameter,
simply for beauty and indi-
viduality, a practice they have
upheld for thousands of years,
and yet, the writer ignorantly
describes such as disgusting
and a disgrace to nature. He
quotes his grandpa as saying
all manner of nasty things
about our generation. Firstly,
I dont know where grandpa
was raised and secondly, his
generation is the problem.
He is the embodiment of the
post-independence generation
that abandoned their roots
and had nothing to pass down
to us other than foreign gods
and ethics. If I was grandpa Ri-
chard I would coil my tail and
wait silently next to my grave,
a failure.
Nose rings
In the Bible, Abraham sent
his servant to give a nezem
(nose ring, Hebrew) to Re-
becca, his daughter in law as a
wedding gift. This is still prac-
ticed by the nomadic Berber
and Beja tribes of the Sahara
and Sudan respectively. A
large nose ring worn by an
African woman is a symbol of
a wealthy husband. So whats
disgusting about that?
Many people think I have
piercings simply because Im
a creative, just like many as-
sume that my friend Tony
M has dreadlocks simply be-
cause he is a literary gangster.
They are wrong. Tony has his
dreadlocks in honor of Dedan
Kimathi and other deeper
reasons and I wear my pierc-
ings deantly and proudly for
that lost piece of African his-
tory and culture. In fact, older
people say we are copying the
West, but what they dont know
is that the West as a matter of
fact, associated body piercings
with taboo while many tribal
Africans believed that pierc-
ings and stretching body parts
built character, discipline and
strength.
Im afraid we are losing eve-
rything African; history, culture
and even colour!

gLotGrass. Have something to say?

The problem with my comrades, ac-
cording to Grandpa Richard, is that very
few of them are actually employable. All
they seem to be good at is snooze, booze
and tattoos. After holding a comprehensive
dialogue with the old man, weve come up
with some tips for my comrades which if
followed to the letter, will see them rise to
the top like crap... sorry... cream, and make
them instantly employable.
1. Write a CV
I know some of you might nd it hard
to write something youre not duplicat-
ing from a mwakenya, but the rst step
to becoming employable is to have a CV
preferably your own. Lupita Nyongos
CV may seem impressive, but it doesnt
exactly tell the employer about you and
why youre interested in working with
them.
Here, grammar is imperative. A CV that
has spelling mistakes, smileys and abbre-
viations like LMFAO is usually frowned
upon by potential employers. Take care
not to misspell your own name.
Your references should include more
than just your Facebook friends. And no,
a football referee should not be indicated
here. Feel free to use your previous em-
ployers, clergy and Jowal Jones in your
references. Last but not least, do not
include a request that your potential em-
ployer follow you on Twitter.
2. Clean up your social media
Nowadays, employers are smart. They
usually rake through the Facebook pages
of potential employees to judge the con-
tent of their characters. If youre looking
to be employable, youd be wise if you
pulled down those ratchet photos from
Masaku 7s and updated your religious
views from Satanist to something less
asinine.
3. Take o all the hardware.
No respectable employer wants to hire
someone with 12 pairs of earrings, a nose,
nipple and heaven-knows-what ring, a
dog collar and Prince Albert. You are
better advised to take these o if youre
looking for a job. After all, you dont want
the security guard at your potential work-
place to spend three hours trying to gure
out whats setting o the metal detector
hence making you show up late for the
interview.
4. Change your wardrobe
I know you havent owned a shirt in
three years, but this is the best time to
invest in one with a decent tie to boot.
Campus divas, when youre looking for
a job, please avoid dressing as though
youre looking for a mate.
5. Cover up those tattoos
There are great careers where it actually
helps if you have scores of devilish tat-
toos. I think its mandatory, for example,
if youre a stripper, a marijuana dealer and
a degenerate rock star. But aside from
these jobs, youre better o concealing
those tattoos.
Follow the above tips religiously and
before you know it, employers will be
jostling each other to hire you.

A COMRADES GUIDE TO
BECOMING EMPLOYABLE
life & sport
And just now kings are fall-
ing like eas, goes the statement
thats insanely characteristic of foot-
ball today. First it was Spain, followed
shortly by Italy and the ultimate of
all, the proper capitulation of Brazil.
Yet it doesnt stop there, as in Game
of thrones, where the statement is
adapted from, many more royalties
continued to embrace tombstones
even before Rob Starks epitaph
could run dry.
Next in the conveyor belt (though
you wouldnt really call them kings) is
Liverpool. Like an unwatered passion
tree their transfer market activity so
far has been horribly limp. The Liver-
pool hierarchy have sat down, created
a narrative then decided to buy into it.
The club will survive without Suarez
is such a loud and haughty brigade it
replaces any logical discourse with
loyalist pandemonium. Sturridge is
a proper stand alone striker, and in
instances when he played alone had a
better goal count than when he played
with Suarez, yet leading the ship on
with a gapping gush after the depar-
ture of Suarez is a proper strategic
fallacy. The juiciest of this slice is, we
have been here before.
This reeks of Tottenham after
the Bale sale and to a lesser extent,
Uniteds oundering in the dark of
the transfer market due to Ed Wood-
wards utter ineptitude last season.
Its akin to trying to Costa Concordia
your way through the shallow rocks of
Giglio. When youre gushing in water
from ve out of the envisaged four
water tight compartments to keep
you aoat a la Titanic, the bottom of
the sea is hardly escapable. And you
will be glad to note this is the last sea-
faring reference.
Indeed Sturridges 20 goals versus
Suarezs 30 have accounted for more
points while his average for goals
against top rivals is higher than Sua-
rezs. This keeps in mind the fact that
Brendan confessed to seeing Stur-
ridge and Suarez as soloists rather
than a partnership. Yet with Cham-
pion League nights in place and the
title to claim, a war chest of two, at
the least one, other proven European
nisher will not lose value in the club.
Meanwhile, aside Diego Costa who
will denitely prove well for Chelsea,
the technical bench at Stamford bridge
have eternally had a horrid time trying
to replace Didier Drogba. Since his de-
parture, there hasnt been a proper t
by t replacement or even anything
that came close, so it wont come as
a surprise that JMs marquee signing
to nally replace Didier Drogba this
season is, Didier Drogba. Frail, brit-
tle and having picked up more years
than the leaning tower of Pisa and
Egyptian Sphinxes combined, Drogba
seems set to walk back into the Chel-
sea dress room and apparently lead a
title charge this season. Its a game of
musical chairs, otherwise known as
the transfer window, where rates can
get as comical as Toni Kroos being
bought for a fee 5 less than Adam
Lallana cost Liverpool.
Elsewhere, golden boot and goal
of the tournament winner looks set
to join a plethora of superuity by
being the 1,245th striker in Madrids
fold. Madrid is always a tricky club to
go to, a revolving conveyor belt that
has in the past kicked out immense
talents as Arjen Robben, Clarence Se-
erdorf, Robinho, Kaka, Davor Suker,
and in the most recent case Mesut
Ozils eyeballs.
Also, product endorsement role
model Stevie Gerrard has decided af-
ter an illustrious career that involved
being an oppositions lay-up special-
ist, that its time to set the sun with
the national team. With 114 outings
for country, why he wouldnt just have
stuck and surpassed David Queen
Beckhams 115 is still beyond me,
absolutely. Acts of honour in football
are overrated.

THE LONG FALL FROM GRACE TO GRASS
FRANKFOOT

Liverpools English forward Daniel Stur-
ridge
Why are we so happy
to be ordinary? Why are we
scared to do what we love?
Why is it easier to remain aver-
age for the sake of safety and
security than to take risks and
touch greatness? I read some-
where that you turn into the 5
people you spend most of your
time with so be careful of the
company you keep. Do those
5 people help you realize your
dreams or block them? Do
they encourage you or throw
a wet blanket over your ideas?
Do they want you to soar or do
they secretly smirk when you
stumble?
Do they always have your
back or are they only around
during good times? Do they
bring out the best or worst in
you?
Children can climb moun-
tains when brought up to
believe in themselves and
their capabilities. We too can
accomplish anything if we
have the right cheerleaders
beside us. But instead of pay-
ing attention to the guy with a
kind word, you listen more to
the critic. Why? Try making
a conscious decision to block
out the negativity and see how
things start looking up. Slowly.
Steadily. It never fails. Dare
greatly.
In 1910 Theodore Roosevelt
delivered the famous speech
Citizenship in a Republic.
Before I go into details of
said speech, a side bar. Great
words have been attributed to
great men in history, most of
whom did not actually write
said words. Oh, to be a speech
writer.
Your job is in the shadows,
not the limelight. They burn
the midnight oil and their rst
three or four drafts are usually
tossed away by the leader they
write them for. But sometimes,
they get it right. Sometimes
their words go down in his-
tory. Their words yes but never
their names.
Ever heard of Clarence B
Jones? No? But youve heard
his words in countless Martin
Luther King Jnr speeches.
Jon Lovett thrilled us with the
words he brought us through
Obamas speeches in the fa-
mous Yes
We Can campaign. Go
through history and you will
find that aside from Jesus
Christ, most speeches had a
guy working behind the scenes
to make them the masterpiece
they were when delivered.
Having said that, its not the
words alone, which make a
great speech. One must be a
great orator.
This is the same of friends
rooting us on. Friends who be-
lieve in us, friends that give us
the words of encouragement
we need they are our speech
writers. But we still need to
take that encouragement and
turn it into something tan-
gible. Our success will stem
from, much like how a great
leader delivers a great speech
with pauses, crescendos and
an epic nish.
Here is an excerpt from Citi-
zenship in a Republic. I hope
it inspires you to dare greatly
and to surround yourself with
like-minded friends:
It is not the critic who
counts; not the man who
points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where
the doer of deeds could
have done them better. The
credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who
errs, who comes short again
and again, because there
is no effort without error
and shortcoming; but who
does actually strive to do
the deeds; who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devo-
tions; who spends himself in
a worthy cause; who at the
best knows in the end the
triumph of high achieve-
ment, and who at the worst,
if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls
who neither know victory
nor defeat.

vocal and piano training. With time her
condence grew, as did her performances.
In October 2010, she got a standing ova-
tion from over 1,000 parents and teachers
during an annual concert after performing
a very moving rendition of popular gospel
songs.
Realising the gift within, she continued
to take every opportunity to perform at
family functions, friends weddings and at
her church. During one such performance,
she caught the attention of Emmy Kosgei.
My mom encouraged me to go up to
her while she was performing, Nikita
narrates. I thought she would just dance
with me, instead, she gave me the mic and
I performed with her. I was totally shocked
when she called me a few weeks later and
invited me to perform with her. Emmy has
really mentored and encouraged me in my
music; she even paid for my upcoming
music video.
Nikita got her mainstream breakthrough
in 2011, when she performed alongside
Emmy Kosgei during her album launch.
The gospel superstar has been performing
with the 12-year-old ever since. When she
is performing, you are tempted to inspect
the sound system to ensure that the voice
you are hearing is emanating from the lit-
tle girl at the front.
The burbs
She exudes a condence that is well
above her years and, despite growing up in
the leafy suburbs of Karen, she exemplies
an appreciation for her traditional culture
and sings uently in her mother tongue.
I have always enjoyed songs done in
my mother tongue as they remind me
of shagz, she explains. My parents take
us upcountry every Christmas and I love
milking cows.
That is what makes it, or her, so awe-
some; that a child this young could do
such great things and still have a grasp of
what really matters.
You see, the story of the child star is
an all-too-familiar tale with a sad ending.
They rise to the heights of showbiz, daz-
zling crowds with their extraordinary tal-
ent only to be crushed into obscurity by
the pressures of fame and fortune. Take
these few examples:
Gary Coleman is the epitome of child star
disasters. He was described in the 1980s
as one of the most promising stars, after
a thriving childhood acting career that
began when he was 10-
years-old, making over
$18 million.
Gary starred in the
80s sitcom Different
Strokes as Arnold Jack-
son, one of the main
characters known for
his catch phrases.
Real life was however
more cruel as Gary went
on a downward spiral after
the show ended in 1986. He
sued his parents for misappropriation of
his assets in 1989 for $3.8 million. He won
the case, but led for bankruptcy in 1999.
He ended up working as a security guard,
where he punched a lady who was pester-
ing him for an autograph. He died at the
age of 42 broke and in despair.
Micheal Jackson was topping the charts
at 11 years with his brothers as the Jackson
Five and many years later even death has
not stopped him.
Behind the scenes, however, the king of
pop was known for many eccentricities,
largely attributed to his childhood star-
dom. He was pushed into the limelight at
an early age, and in some ways he never
really grew up.
Lindsay Lohan has had a successful
career as an actress, model, producer and
recording artiste. But like most child stars
her career has been marred by several epi-
sodes of drug and substance abuse, mixed
with legal problems stemming from mis-
demeanours and a probation violation.
Jaimee Foxworth was sweet little Judy
Winslow on the long running 1990s sitcom
Family Matters. When her co-child stars
(Jaleel White) character (Steve Urkle)
gained popularity, Jaimee was kicked out
to make room.
Later on in life, she struggled with drugs,
depression, suicidal tendencies and ven-
tured into pornography when acting jobs
dried up. She eventually turned the corner
and even appeared on Oprah sharing the
cover
NIKITA exudes a condence that is well above her

Chepchumba Kering is making
baby steps in grown up shoes.
The Nairobi Academy pupil
is a rising child star working
hard to escape the pitfalls that have befallen
many before her. At the age of 12, most kids
are content with playing in the hood with-
out a care in the world. Nikita, however, is
chasing her dreams and taking no prison-
ers. She has performed for Deputy Presi-
dent William Ruto during the Kids Festival
(2013) at Nyayo Stadium, during the Peace
Concert in 2013 at The Kasarani stadium,
and at Emmy Kosgeis grand wedding in
Nigeria. She has even appeared on NTVs
Churchill Show.
Nikitas inspirational story has aired live
on Citizen TVs prime time news, while
KASS TV has also featured her story as a
young upcoming gospel singer.

Nikita currently co-hosts Treasure Hunt, a
childrens radio programme on Hope FM.
In life you just need to gure out what

Nikita began singing with kids in the
neighbourhood and at her local Sunday

These kinds of stories fuel parental con-
demnation of showbiz, thus they end up
frustrating their talented children in an
eort to save them from the perils of the
industry. However, the Kerings have taken
a dierent approach.
Joseph Kering, Nikitas dad, says: Grow-
ing up, my elder sister loved music, she
was truly talented, but my parents were
more interested in academics. When I saw
the talent in Nikita, I did not want to frus-
trate it, my wife and I chose to support her.
We have created a structure that protects
her from the dangers of the industry. We
have taught her that school comes rst,
and grounded her on Christian family
values.
All in the family
The 12-year-old child star is in good com-
pany, as the Kering household is the home
of talent. Their parents have obviously
done well for themselves, if the Karen
mansion they live in is anything to go by.
Her sister Nimo is a Law student at
Strathmore and an actress with Strath-
mores Dramsoc. Her brother Cody is an
aspiring music producer and DJ, while
her other brother Maxwell is a very
talented football player and will be
joining the prestigious Arsenal resi-
dential camp in August.
My family is very supportive,
everyone chips in and our parents
support our individual talents, my
sister helps with marketing and my
brothers help me come up with the
music, Nikita explains.
My dad has been the nancial
backbone while my mom manages
my career to make sure I have
balance. She recently cancelled
a US tour because it would have
interfered with my school-work. I
really wanted to go, but I am sure
there will be a next time.
The young go-getter has
begun life on a very high
note. Her tenacity is
inspirating, to say the
least. At such a young age, she has mas-
tered the courage to pursue her hearts de-
sire. She believes that no excuse can take
the place of your dream, no matter how
much the odds stack up against you.
She continues the delicate balance of
maintaining a normal childhood in the
midst of all the fame that her talents are
generating. History is denitely not on her
side; child stars have come and gone, leav-
ing a trail of misery.
However, judging by the level-headed
way with which she handles her newly
found fame and fortune, Nikita may just
be the exception to the rule. We guess no
matter how young you are, your dream is
still valid.

A
n article by one of
my colleagues two
weeks ago caused so
much brouhaha you
would have thought
pictures of Raila
Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta hold-
ing hands in some exotic beach had
been leaked.
Now, I know a lot of things were
said, things to do with women being
fat, having smelly hair and whatnot
and the responses were fast and
furious. The last time someone
pissed o so many people, the Arab
Spring happened.
Marriage is one hot button issue,
I know nothing about it other than
the fact that all my friends are get-
ting into it while a few others are
running in the opposite direction.
I have been attending so many
weddings of late that my mother
is getting concerned. She thinks I
am not being motivated enough. It
is like always visiting Alliance High
School and still ending up the bot-
tom of your class.
Same as sending Harambee
Stars to Brazil to watch the World
Cup and the only thing they came
back with were seles. Not even a
bloody phone number of a beautiful
Brazilian girl or player.
So back to marriage and the
hullabaloo caused by the article, I
realised that most men were silent
on the issue and I want us to give
a round of applause to these smart
men who deserve happiness.
The rest of the men were even
smarter; they were outraged! This
is genius! They were outraged, not
because the article was really oen-
sive or deep but because they were
taking the wifes side. I heard some-
where that for a marriage to work,
a man has to be ready to apologise
when the wife is on the wrong.
The few friends I spoke to told
me they had not even read the ar-
ticle but the missus was so furious,
that they just joined in on the anger
parade for the sake of national
peace. These men deserve medals.
Now, there are men who were
touched by the article for dierent
reasons mostly because the weave
on the wifes head has been on for
so long it is practically family now.
The weave is now that drunk
family member who you wouldnt
leave your kids with because 1)
theyre dirty and 2) you just dont
trust them. What did these men
do, this is enough to make you cry.
These brave souls probably read
the article at the barbershop or at
the carwash, bought the newspaper
and took it home and, feigning out-
rage, asked the wife to read it.
Of course, she read it and got
the hint that she needed to let the
family member go, and is probably
doing something about it right now.
Let us give these men a standing
ovation.
Let us not forget the men whose
wives take care of their bodies, they
look good and smell good but the
reverse is true when it comes to
the husbands. These men bore the
brunt of the article because I have
a feeling the wife was reading the
article when she said something
like: The writer should write why
women cheat also That comment
is enough to send a healthy man to
the grave in three seconds.
So, to all the dudes who have
moobs (man boobs) and who last
tied their shoes
standing up on
your wedding day,
just know that you
are a child of God
what else can I
say to you?
Then we come to
the dumbest of them
all, the men, who,
after reading the article, loudly
proclaimed that men would cheat
even on Halle Berry. I dont know
what you thought you were doing
but you failed miserably.
I know you are reading this with
tears in your eyes because you
thought you were trying to help
but ended up committing a greater
crime than most thugs who have
been shot dead by cops.
Yes, we all know Halle Berry was
cheated on and, as men, we have no
idea how a grown up man would do
that. Nonetheless, never say that
to your woman as a positive thing.
Ever!
Whenever you want to say some-
thing positive to your wife but are
not sure, dont say it. I repeat, shut
up and run.

vocal and piano training. With time her
condence grew, as did her performances.
In October 2010, she got a standing ova-
tion from over 1,000 parents and teachers
during an annual concert after performing
a very moving rendition of popular gospel
songs.
Realising the gift within, she continued
to take every opportunity to perform at
family functions, friends weddings and at
her church. During one such performance,
she caught the attention of Emmy Kosgei.
My mom encouraged me to go up to
her while she was performing, Nikita
narrates. I thought she would just dance
with me, instead, she gave me the mic and
I performed with her. I was totally shocked
when she called me a few weeks later and
invited me to perform with her. Emmy has
really mentored and encouraged me in my
music; she even paid for my upcoming
music video.
Nikita got her mainstream breakthrough
in 2011, when she performed alongside
Emmy Kosgei during her album launch.
The gospel superstar has been performing
with the 12-year-old ever since. When she
is performing, you are tempted to inspect
the sound system to ensure that the voice
you are hearing is emanating from the lit-
tle girl at the front.
The burbs
She exudes a condence that is well
above her years and, despite growing up in
the leafy suburbs of Karen, she exemplies
an appreciation for her traditional culture
and sings uently in her mother tongue.
I have always enjoyed songs done in
my mother tongue as they remind me
of shagz, she explains. My parents take
us upcountry every Christmas and I love
milking cows.
That is what makes it, or her, so awe-
some; that a child this young could do
such great things and still have a grasp of
what really matters.

ASK CINDY
Dear Cindy,
I have never had a girlfriend,
mainly because I wanted to
concentrate on my secondary
education. Now I am done and I
want one. What can I do to have
a girlfriend?
Joseph.
Unless it is for reasons other than
love, there is no plan. Love just
happens at its own time. Perhaps
you should join youth clubs within
your area, not to nd a girlfriend,
but to learn how to interact with
girls, they are a complicated lot.
Avoid falling for the rst girl you
are attracted to, especially if you
know nothing about her. Concen-
trate on nding a friend and if it
develops into a relationship, you
will be happier because relation-
ships rst based on friendship
last longer. But you are still very
young, you still have a long way
to go in your education, perhaps
you observe the same discipline
you did when you were in high
school, and the rest will naturally
come later at the right time. If you
worry too much about nding
yourself a girlfriend, you will make
mistakes. All the best.
Dear Cindy,
I am 19 years old. I met a girl on
Facebook, we started chatting,
then texting. Now she wants us
to meet but we live in dierent
towns. I love her very much and
I do not want to lose her, what
shall I do?
Jamal.
First of all, you cannot lose some-
thing if you never had it in the
rst place, so your fear of losing
her sounds a little misplaced. You
must be very careful with internet
relationships because you only
have the word on their prole of
whom they are, and people hardly
put a true picture of themselves
on the internet. They always make
themselves to be the best people
in the world, but when you meet
them, they are the evil twin of
what you thought.
Do not worry too much about
it, and there is no harm in meet-
ing them as long as you do it
in a public place and with little
expectation. If something comes
out of it, lucky you but if nothing
does, do not worry, life happens
like that sometimes. My concern
is that you are 19 years old, and
you want to meet somebody in a
dierent town is that nancially
viable for you? Little things to
consider but go ahead, have an
adventure, but be on your guard.
All the best.

I am more excited about lo-
cal rock music now than I am
about international bands. At
times, I even ask myself, is
there going to be any interna-
tional rock music by the time
this decade ends? Last week
but one, I talked lengthily
about Linkin Parks latest
album The Hunting Party
and everything the band
had released before that. The
Hunting Party was evidence
that crumbs of American
rock still exist.
But the album carried with
it the hint of a forced eort
that warned us that this
was just a one-o attempt
at sounding like a rock band
once more. In fact, the best
track on the al-
bum for me was
Linkin Parks
col l aborat i on
with System of
a Downs Daron
Malakian on Re-
bellion. Why? Because
it has the unrestrained
guitar energy, nu metal is
known for. The sad bit is
that it took Linkin Park a
collaboration with one of
rocks great names to ap-
peal to a nu-metal fan like
me. It also led me to wonder
why Daron isnt making new
music with System of a Down
anymore.
As I write this I am watch-
ing (have come across) a
video by Coldplay for a song
called A Sky Full of Stars and
I am thinking to myself What
in the world is this? The song
features Chris Martin hop-
ping around a street with
a guitar and some strange
back pack that looks like a
harmonica attached to a kick
drum with a cymbal on top
and a bunch of owers all
around it. The funniest bit
is the fact that the song has
absolutely no guitar tracks in
it. And immediately, Coldplay
reminded me of Lil Wayne
pulling the same stunt with
an electric on Lollipop. Ten
years ago, I would never have
thought Id see the day that
I would compare Coldplay
to Lil Wayne. But, ladies
and gentlemen it has come
to that.
Basically, almost every-
thing in the name of rock
these days brings shame
to what the forefathers of
this genre introduced half a
century ago. Ernest Baker
who writes for Pigeons and
Planes, one of the largest
rock and hip hop blogs on the
internet, seconds this writ-
ing: Now weve arrived at
an existence where the only
rock stars left are people who
dont make rock music and
Mac Demarco, who maybe 12
people know about him.
In fact, taking a look at the
top artistes on the weekly
Billboard charts, there is only
one act in the Hot Rock chart
that I can call rock and that
is Paramore. Thus Bastille,
American Authors, Imagine
Dragons and Lorde are not
rock bands or rock artistes
in my book. Most of these
bands songs are faking it
with synthesisers craftily
designed with a bit of gain to
make them sound like electric
guitars. Even Kongos Come
with Me Now couldnt match
up its lead singers grungy,
raspy vocals with respectfully
distorted guitars. Instead they
have some digital harmonicas
playing over the bass, drums
and most importantly fake
guitar synthesisers. Its not
a bad song but without real
guitars, you cant help but feel
that something is amiss. Its
like an underground meet-
ing was held by all the big
rock record labels where they
agreed that the electric guitar
shall henceforth be banned
from mainstream rock music.
Bye bye, awesome guitar so-
los and ris. (sni sni)
But I am not crying for
rock music any time soon
because the absence of ear-
grabbing music from the
other corners of the world
has made me more attentive
to the awesome music being
made here in Kenya. Ken-
yan rock now has breathing
space to appeal to fans and
actually make headlines. And
this time, we will nally get to
see our favourite bands live.

Q. Your prole gives us a sneak of your ability to multi task,
tell us what do you do?
I am an actress, a voice-over artist, a TV presenter and
radio host. Wow, I sound like a jack of all trades, but I have
a lot energy.

Q. How long have you been acting and what shows have you
appeared in?
I have been acting since 2007. First it was theatre, I even
did theatre for schools, then I joined professional theatre
with Festival of Creative Arts (FCA). I was in Demigods and
have also appeared in several local movies.

Q. Theatre or screen?
I love doing both because they each give me dierent
thrills.

Q. What do you believe has made you grow as an actor?
Theatre, which I enjoy a lot, especially under the
directorship of Mbeki Mwalimu. At Festival of Creative Arts,
I have done countless plays and I have denitely honed my
skills. I have been cast in all manner and type of roles, which
has helped me grow as an artist as a whole.

Q. What exactly do you do on TV and radio?
I am currently hosting KTNs Are you my Type? and I host
the Breakfast Show on Venus FM.

Q. Tell us about The Good Body, the show you are appearing
in next.
The Good Body, whose beneciary is Flone Initiative, tackles
womens perfect imperfections with some candid and
hilarious monologues about womens bum size, skin colour,
24-inch waistlines, acne, the tummy tucks, the thigh gap,
piercings, tummy tyres, the whole nine yards, especially
after all the furore womens size caused by a columnist last
week. Being part of a cast of such great talents as those
cast in The Good Body is both humbling and a dream come
true. I am working with people I have long admired and
wanted to work with. People I have been get along so well,
and have so much fun with on stage.

Q. Tell us a little about the Flone Initiative.
Flone Initiative was an idea by students at United States
International University (USIU). Florence and Nehemia were
two people who sponsored them for a long time until the
initiative was ready to stand on its own. They named the
initiative after these two to honour them. The idea is to talk
about womens sexuality, reproductive health and gender
equality. The Flone Initiative is currently working with
matatu drivers, touts and bodaboda riders to deconstruct
societal norms and acquired negative attitudes on womens
freedom and sexuality.

BE FAMOUS.
LETS TALK
MONEY MATTERS
REALLY, WHO DOESNT WANT TO BE A
MILLIONAIRE? WONDERS NADIA DARWESH
take 14
A
s you start
earning your
own money,
going to the
supermarket
b e c o m e s
something of an exercise in
logic, much like a complex
game of sudoku. Only in this
case, instead of asking your-
self how on earth you ended
up with two nines in one line
(dont you just hate when that
happens?); you stand for four
minutes in the toiletries aisle
pondering over absurdities
such as Twenty-five bob
tissue or thirty-bob tissue?
Two-pack or four-pack? The
huge Geisha or the tiny one?
Or maybe just throw caution
to the wind and get the Panga
soap to use for both bathing
and washing clothes? The
latter of the suggestions
standing as the less crazy of
your ideas because you will
nd that with panga soap,
you get to smell like nature
while having skin as smooth
and dry as a baby elephants.
Bottom line is that with
time, the supermarket be-
comes a war zone where ones
inner desire to spend (and
spend and spend!) battles
against your more grounded
desire to save. Something.
Anything. For the sake of
maintaining your image as a
responsible adult.
However, despite all the
pesky decisions that come
with pulling your own weight,
there is something very ad-
dictive about stepping out on
your own like that. Cue Des-
tinys Child song Independent
Women because underneath
the catchy beats lie some
very tasty nuggets of wis-
dom. Namely, that being an
independent lady is not easy,
but it sure is satisfying.
High cost of living
The other day my friend
and I were spitting out drinks
over the cost of renting in the
city. It was not that all the
houses were expensiveal-
though some of them cost
a pretty penny for a pretty
shabby package, it was just
when you added the cost of
all those extras it became
an intimidating venture. Re-
frigerators and microwaves.
Padlocks and electricity bills.
Food and entertainment
and all on not very good
salaries. It made me ash-
back to the primary school
days when we would struggle
to use mathematical set com-
passes to draw perfect pie
charts depicting our monthly
budgets. In the textbooks we
were always rich: there was
always money to put aside for
all your needs starting from
clothes to fees, food, rent
and even the elusive savings.
If anything, Primary Math-
ematics gave us enough hope
to dream because as an adult,
most people I know are either
earning just enough to get by,
or are too preoccupied with
spending their loot to think
about putting some aside for
rainy days. Funny thing about
money is that it can never be
enough, and you can never
have too much. Think too
little of it and it will pull one
over you. Think too much of
it and it will blind you.
All this would explain the
deluge of emotions that fall
on me whenever I go out to
buy something. Sometimes
what I feel is elation, and
other darker times I feel a
well of panic rising up within
me. It is during those times
when I want nothing more
than to stay home for days
on end with my money under
my pillow and just sleep until
more comes. Except what
good would that do me?
The greatest lesson I have
learned so far when it comes
to money is to not be afraid:
be it to earn it, spend it,
save it or lend it. Otherwise
you end up like a repressed
character in a classic Eng-
lish novel: lonely, depressed
and eating cabbage soup for
dinner.
Thus even if I sometimes
lay awake at night and fanta-
sise about burning heaps and
heaps of notes before taking
o into a dense forest and
making a living for myself in
the wild as the ultimate her-
mit ninja, I also remember
the rst time I opened my
bank account with my heart
in my throat and my mind
full of all the implications.
And I acknowledge that even
if being a female ninja warrior
would be the ultimate symbol
of badass, adding millionaire
to that title would be even
more awesome. Now if that
does not motivate you, I do
not know what will.

T
he apple does not fall
far from the tree, they
say. We are inuenced
by things that surround
us. Thus, our children
turn out just like us. They will talk
like us, learn to say sorry and
thank you only if we instill the
habit, if we are good religious peo-
ple, the children should automati-
cally be as religious. If we are great
businessmen, by the time they are
18, they should have had their rst
business idea.
If only it were that black and
white. We can do all we have to do
for them while they are still young
but, if we forget to teach them to
ignore worldly inuences like the
Internet and peer pressure, their
lives will not follow the blueprints
we make for them. We might even
teach them all there is to know
about ignoring them, but they
might go ahead and ignore us in
spite or because they will develop
an independent mind and decide
all that you taught them is rubbish.
We can only do what we have to do
and leave the rest to God.
Not in front of the kids
There are however things par-
ents we must never in front of chil-
dren. Last week,
a certain woman
got the wrath of
the public when
she posted her
tots photo hold-
ing a beer bottle.
Some people have
argued the foamy
stu on his mouth is
porridge, but it sure looked like
beer froth. Froth or porridge is
not the point, it was worrying that
a parent, probably in her naivety,
thought the photo funny enough
to capture and post for the world
to see. This, in a world where our
men are drinking themselves to a
stupor, wet pants and eventually to
the grave.
I highly disapprove, but I shall
not vilify her, mainly because we
should not cast a stone before we
examine ourselves. Do you smoke
in front of your children? If the an-
swer is yes, I hope you did not post
a hateful comment to this woman
because you are just as bad most
smokers I know started smoking
because they thought it was funny
to steal a cigarette from their
fathers packet. Can that parent
then stand to criticise their child
for smoking?
What about swearing? It does
not matter whether swearing is ac-
ceptable in your house, but if your
child swears at people out there, it
is because you do it in your house,
then you must take the blame for
your child being vilied for lack of
manners. Children will keep away
from him, parents will warn their
children to keep away from yours
making him one lonely and con-
fused child.
Negative gossip is also a no-
no in front of little ones, mostly
because children cannot keep
secrets and they will repeat what
you said at some point, usually to
the person at the other end of the
gossip. And then you shall also be
responsible if your children learn
to always look for the negative in
people. Stop it.
Research shows that most abus-
ers are products of abusive up-
bringing. Whatever beef you and
your partner has, you are grown up
enough (here is hoping) to wait un-
til the children are out of sight and
earshot. Bedroom ghts (all) must
be fought behind closed bedroom
doors and please, they cannot be
loud.
Last but certainly not least, I
know of this one parent who has
turned her child into a snoop.
Whenever the child goes visiting,
she will not join other children,
her job is to sit with the adults,
watch and listen in detail, then
report word for word, picture by
picture to her mother, then the
two of them will discuss all of it in
detail. What are you thinking?

whats up?
GAME MAKER ACTIVISION is not the rst pub-
lisher to be sued for unpaid use of a persons like-
ness. The Noriega case in their Call of Duty series
however was imminent
BLACKBERRY went
from being the smart-
phone leader to being
the laughing stock of
smartphones to now
being the underdog
of smartphones in a
ght it is losing. But
BlackBerry is still in the
ght, and with OS10.3
coming, a long awaited
feature, The BlackBerry
Assistant, is expected.
The Siri-like Assistant
will allow end users to
full tasks like sending
a BBM, email or text,
as well as checking
weather and many other
services. The Assistant
adapts and learns as
you use the device and
customises itself to your
needs as the primary de-
vice owner. BlackBerry is
engaged in a protracted
battle as it struggles to
turn around its declining
smartphone fortunes.
BLACKBERRY GETS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
MANUEL NORIEGA spent the 1980s as
Panamas brutal dictator while multitask-
ing as a drug tracker, racketeer, money
launderer and Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) informant. Towards the end of the
1980s, he was deposed in a US invasion and
eventually convicted of numerous criminal
oences. Recently, Activision released Call
of Duty: Black Ops II which irked Noriega
for being depicted as a kidnapper, murderer
and enemy of the state. Noriega has led a
13-page lawsuit with the Superior Court in
the US against Activision for using his like-
ness without his consent in the game. The
game publisher is not the rst to be sued
for unpaid use of a persons likeness.
NORIEGA SUES ACTIVISION
THE NOKIA X LINE, com-
prised of the X1 and X2,
were the phone makers
experiment to better un-
derstand the cult that is
Android. We all knew that,
right? But the devices
were an experiment born
out of desperation, and
Microsoft, Nokia Mobiles
new owner has ended the
experiment while no longer
nourishing the competi-
tion. Despite the Nokia X
series being a huge retail
success, Microsoft is pull-
ing the plug and killing its
Android low-end devices.
Also out of the picture is
the Nokia Asha Series, Se-
ries 40 Line, 18,000 jobs,
of which 12,500 will come
from former Nokia groups
and its Xbox original video
content.
MICROSOFT SOBERS UP?
LG ANNOUNCES THE G3 BEAT
TECH IN BRIEF
LG IS CURRENTLY Googles
favourite OEM, and together,
they are getting the game
right. Atleast LG is, and this
time it is with a mid-level en-
try device called the G3 Beat.
It runs on a Qualcomm Snap-
dragon 400 quad-core chip
that pushes it to 1.2 GHz,
that is tied to 1GB of RAM,
and 8GB of storage. There
are two cameras, an industry
standard. The rear in an 8MP
camera with laser autofocus,
while the front has a 1.3MP
lens. The display is a 5-inch
720p IPS display which will
feature a custom LG user
interface on top of Android
KitKat. It is due shortly with
pricing expected somewhere
around US$ 480.00, a pre-
mium for a mid-level device.
In reality, Google has had a tough time with
its multiple mobile hardware lines. None of its
devices have been that eye-catching.
Google has even turned to it billions of dol-
lars and splashed out a sinful portion for Mo-
torola Mobility, but that elixir failed. Motorola
Mobility was written down and sold o to
Lenovo for a song. Lenovo however were not
as interested in Motorola Mobility as they were
in BlackBerry. However, the Canadian govern-
ment had dierent ideas on the acquisition and
cited National Security. So, Lenovo took the
next best thing from Google. Then there is An-
droid. Google forked this from Linux and made
arguably the most successful mobile Operating
System(OS) in the world, but, Google, from a
hardware perspective, has beneted very little
from Android. Samsung, HTC, Ericsson, even
BlackBerry and Googles arch nemesis Micro-
soft have all beneted from the low hanging
fruit of Android, in fact, far more than Google
themselves have. Samsung has clearly reaped
the rewards, and this has made it Googles new
nemesis in the making. Yet Google retains
plausible heart with its mobile device aspira-
tion. And now, another project, Project Tango.
You see, Google has not been shy about how
much money and time they were willing to
commit to mapping the entire planet digitally.
Apart from National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), nobody has more
mapping data about the planet than Google
does, and commercially, Google has milked
Maps for everything its worth, but Maps had
one major limitation. Maps is an outdoors
experience. With Project Tango, Google is
coming indoors.
The details of the tablet are still quite
sketchy but what is known shows Google is go-
ing for overkill. It will sport an NVIDIA Tegra
K1 processor, which is changing the fortunes at
NVIDIA for the better.
Then there will be the 4GB RAM it will need
to make its processing power realistic. It will
also feature 128GB of internal storage, without
microSD support, will have a 1080p HD dis-
play, with WiFi, Bluetooth LE and 4G
LTE, all on Android 4.4. That
is just another monster
of a tablet, right?
Wr o n g .
There are two cameras, and a new unique rear
depth sensor that will give the tablet depth
sensing abilities. Why?
The cameras are obviously to visually record
the devices surroundings, so that is nothing
new. The depth sensor is the bit that will get
you thinking. It can measure specic distances
and heights. Let me put it this way, it can
measure the exact size of your bedroom and
generate a 3D image along with the pictures it
has captured. Add some metadata, like tower
data, since it is a 4G device, GPS data, and
whatever mapping information it can acquire
and instantly it knows where you are inside
out.
Now, lets think application. Retailers can
pinpoint a specic product indoors. Game
developers, you can replicate an environment
simply by walking with the cameras and the
depth sensors both on and pointed at what you
want. This reduces the time it takes to develop
your game. In fact, game developers can sim-
ply walk through a movie set and replicate it in
a matter of minutes. That is the cool part.
There is however, a glaring problematic hole
in the plan. How much data will be too much
data? Google itself has been accused of obtain-
ing and retaining data it did not need, and this
piece of hardware allows Google and probably
a couple of spy agencies to obtain a lot more
data on your whereabouts, down to the colour
of the paint on the wall. There is no trade-in
atonement here and assurances sound like a
sales pitch from a desperate insurance sales
rep. What will be the realistic limits?
All that aside, the tablet is a killer platform.
Google has blocked the use of a microSD card
for what seems to be a sales ploy, in which you,
the device owner, are forced to use Googles
Cloud Storage, for a fee, instead of a cheap
microSD card you picked up at a local retailer.
The ocial consumer device is out next year
for the princely sum of $1,024 (Sh90,000) per
unit and will likely be upgraded to Android L.
And yes, it is made by LG.

Action/ Crime Drama (Fox)
PG 16 (VSL)
8.5/10
A Daniel and Ryan have been friends
since childhood, but their friendship
is, for a long time, the only thing they
have in common. Daniel is the son to
the Angelicos gangs supremo Javier
Acosta (Cli Curtis) while Ryan is an
orphan, whose only memorable pos-
session is his fathers watch. When
Carlos, Daniels meaner older brother
attempts to take it o from him one
night during their teenage, Javier
intervenes. From then on, the lives of
these four individuals, and the larger
Acosta family plus the Angelicos, be-
come intertwined as Ryan is taken in
by the patriarch.
Fast forward to present time and now,
the orphan is Detective Ryan Lopez
(Ramon Rodriguez) with the Los An-
geles Police Department (LAPD) who
works to protect his familia through
insider information. He leaks informa-
tion on police busts and makes evi-
dence which may incriminate family
disappear, and is exceptional with
all his other cases. When his partner
is gunned down one night by Carlos
Acosta (Rey Gallegos), he becomes
conicted and his quest for vengeance
at the loss of a friend, and his spite for
Carlos gets the best of him in the end.
It is a riveting action drama, that save
for the obvious fact that Ryan feels
truly indebted to Javier, he does not
oer blind loyalty. This alone guides
the series through many unexpected
plot twists, as law enforcement agents
struggle to keep drugs and war o
the streets. Theres lots of action and
lots of gore.

ARTIST: DAVID HERMLIN
David is highly regarded as the coun-
trys future of pop. In many ways, his
music leaves little to doubt regarding
this prophecy. Hit after hit, the teenager
continues to birth and establish a fresh
generation of music. No question this
boy can sing. This song is all the proof
you need. The video though landed
smack-dab in the middle. Nothing sen-
sational but still held its own.
The video did have a very mature feel
to it and its attempt at lowering the hue
of colour and sharpening the contrast
was a bold and commendable aspect.
Then theres the fact that his silhouette
dancing is electrifying to say the least.
Location was decent.
Decent because of the rooftop over-
looking Nairobi and the time they shot
it to get that shadowy feel. The kid was
dressed to impress. He came o as be-
ing very smart and grown-up. It was
pleasant to see the childish goofs are
still apparent in David such as his white
t-shirt collar being fangled up inwards
However, there are some glaring
points of improvement noted such as
at the start of the video. You can tell
David is trying to dance as he sings,
but the cameraman is always tracking
the camera on his face, leaving the
young sensation in what can only be
described as pretty awkward body
spasms. Lighting was a real let down.
Its understandable that they were try-
ing to pull of the hoary mist allure but
this didnt come o especially in the
darker locations. It may have been a
better idea for this video to have more
going on, not just have David through-
out the course of it.
After all it does talk about being free
so show that through other illustra-
tions. Besides the use of really good
imagery of a boy on a skyscraper es-
caping reality, there wasnt much else
showing freedom.

The never-ending battle between
the Autobots and Decepticons
takes a whole new twist in the lat-
est installation of the Transformers
video game franchise.
The battle rages on a double
frontier of both Planet Earth and
the fabled planet that is Cybertron.
It may have been an unexpected
coincidence that the video game
was released so soon after the
movie but the mediocre quality of
both releases was rather frustrating.
The concept of Transformers has
always been the same and for many
years this has worked; robot ghts,
explosions and human-robot inter-
actions. However, the past releases
have been sorely below par.
The plot in this video game
seems to have been lost in transi-
tion. It should be a simple storyline
with the battle lying solely on cap-
turing the dark spark. However, we
nd so many little instances in the
game where the plot shifts unnec-
essarily and without notice between
the Autobot and Decepticon jour-
neys available to the player.
The graphics are horrid. For a
release on the newer platforms and
with performance capabilities such
as the ones we now possess, surely
we all reasonably expected more.
Everything looks untidy for lack of a
better word.
The was some poor play-acting in
the game. The jest lacked the ability
to oer comical relief; audio was
limited and when used was abnor-
mally boring. Juxtaposed with the
release of the movie, Transformers:
Age of Extinction, the similarities
were pretty obvious.
They could have just gone on to
name them the same. This video
game was a very mediocre release.

Message from the
Cabinet Secretary
Masinde Muliro University of Science and
Technology has, once again, prepared graduands
who are critical thinkers of this great nation. It is
gratifying that the country is receiving a group of
critical thinkers who would contribute positively
to nation building.
A graduation ceremony is an event of celebration,
jubilation and taking stock. We look back at the
collective efforts that contributed to make the
event a success. We reect on hard work and
aspirations. I am sure this academic achievement
is a testament of hard work.
The education that the graduands have received
these past few years will enable them to
perform well in their areas of specialization.
The Ministry would like to see job creators and
not job seekers. In view of this, the Ministry is
encouraging universities to develop courses in
entrepreneurship and innovation in order to
improve the employability and marketability of
university graduates.
The Government is committed to improving the
quality of education in the institutions of higher
learning. We are in the process of strengthening
the functions of the Commission for University
Education (CUE). The aim is to streamline
admissions to our universities through the Kenya
Universities and Colleges Central Placement
Service (KUCCPS). Universities are encouraged
to operate more effectively. Indeed, we are
prioritizing our educational goals and aligning
them to our national goals and the central pillars
of Vision 2030.
I am happy to note that MMUST is ISO 9001:2008
certied. This means that the University has
embraced the issues of quality assurance.
As Kenya Government strives to achieve Vision
2030, I wish to remind all of us that it is important
for universities to make their contribution in line
with their vision and mission. Universities are
not only teaching institutions, but also charged
with the responsibility of carrying out research
and innovation for the good of society. I greatly
appreciate that Masinde Muliro University of
Science and technology is playing its role in this
respect.
I take this opportunity to congratulate the 2014
graduands.
Goldmine of knowledge and innovation and innovation
Message from the
Council Chairman
Welcome to the 8
th
Graduation Ceremony of
Masinde Muliro University
of Science and Technology.
Todays graduation is unique
in the sense that, unlike
previous graduations where
all eligible graduands had to
wait until the end of the year
to graduate in one grand
graduation, we have two
graduations this year. This is
the rst graduation and the
second one will take place
later in the year.
A graduation ceremony is the moment when
the universitys key role of training manpower
is clearly manifested. To the graduands, a
graduation is like the harvesting time. These
graduands have toiled for as many as ve
years to realize the dream
of joining the lucky few
Kenyans- graduates. My
message to the graduands
is: You have run the mile
and that is a credit to you
but there are many other
miles to run. Identify one
and start running now.
The University Council
is developing additional
infrastructure. In this
regard, a new tuition block
is under construction and,
once completed, lectures
taking place in rented
places in town will be a
thing of the past. However,
all these require a lot of money which is not in
actual fact available. It is, therefore, my appeal
to development partners and well wishers to
come in and double efforts in helping us. The
University will be appreciative in all ways.
Universities should play a role in the expansion of the education sector
We have done well: Let us do even better

Message from the
Principal Secretary
I am pleased to join Masinde
Muliro University of Science
and Technology during the 8
th
Graduation Ceremony. Let me
note that graduation is the apex
of an academic journey. Indeed, I
wish to appreciate the hard work
of the graduands and heartily
congratulate them all on their great
achievement.
There has been tremendous growth
in the number of students seeking
university education in our Country.
It behoves us, therefore, to do more
and create additional opportunities
for our young men and women.
In this respect, I am happy to note that Masinde
Muliro University of Science and Technology is
expanding opportunities and offering programmes
on the open and distance education mode.
I am also happy to note that the University is
establishing presence in regions it has not been
before. That is the way to go.
I hope the strategic plans of the
University mirror expansion
of quality education within
the nation. It is important
to enhance skill-oriented
education for our youth. The
Ministry would like to see
many young men and women
from our secondary schools
in Kenya absorbed into the
tertiary institutions. Thus, the
University should continue
exploring ways of admitting
as many students as possible,
facilities permitting.
The Ministry also hopes that
scholars in our universities
should, and will, play a role
in the on-going curriculum
review in the education sector. The University
involvement will truly make the review of the
curriculum at the University move in tandem with
the trends in education in the Country.
Once again, congratulations to the 2014
graduands.
Dr. Belio R. Kipsang,
Principal Secretary State
Department of Education
Dr. David Nyamwaya, Council
Chairman
Prioritize quality in
the expansion of education
Indeed, we have witnessed tremendous growth at this University
during the past few years. This growth is in the student numbers
and in the academic programmes that are offered in this University.
However, the growing student numbers demand that we still need
to develop infrastructure and human capacity for this University.
We shall apply our efforts and minds to achieving this.
Let me applaud the efforts of the University staff and all those who
have contributed to making this graduation a success. I congratu-
late you!

rooms and ofce space for our staff and
students. I thank the MMUST dedicated
staff and students for working with the

necessary grounding skills to serve your

T
he re-launch
of the Kenya
National Chamber
of Commerce and
Industry which has an
established private
business membership
organizations
countrywide marks a
new chapter in doing and
managing business in
Kenya.
The Mandate of the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
resonates well with the governments
objectives of catalyzing the private
sector as the engine of economic
growth and development. I expect the
private sector to play this role through
the business associations including the
chamber.
Kenya seeks to grow into a newly
industrialized economy by the year
2030 where all Kenyans would enjoy
a high quality of life. To achieve
this objective, the country needs
to grow by double digits and the
private sector is expected to be a
major contributor to this growth. The
government is continually working for
the improvement of the private sector
and the restructuring of the Kenya
National Chamber of Commerce and
Industry is critical to the Governments
aspirations for the growth and
development of this Country.
The Membership of the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
cuts across the Micro, Small and
Medium enterprises (MSMEs) and
large enterprises. The MSMEs form the
largest part of the private sector and
largely many still operate informally.
Overall, it should be noted that the
private sector provides the largest rate
of employment creation and thus my
government is focused to facilitate
an excellent business environment
for the private sector to grow and
expand. I therefore expect that the re-
launched Kenya National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry executes its
mandate to provide a linkage between
the MSMEs and larger players in the
market to facilitate among other things
backward linkages and subcontracting
that will allow technological transfer,
value addition and adherence to global
standards and ultimately achievement
of industrial development in Kenya.
In addition, I expect the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
through its regional and global
networks to facilitate opportunities
for joint ventures for the Countrys
business community.
The governments commitment
to improve infrastructure through
expansion of the road network,
modernization and expansion of the
port of Mombasa and Lamu, the Lamu
Port South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport
corridor (LAPSSET) project and the
construction of the standard gauge
railway are expected to spur private
sector growth and development in
Kenya and in the region.
The Kenya national Chamber of
Commerce and Industry has a role to
play in ensuring that the private sector
and especially the MSMEs exploit
the exports development incentives
provided by the Government. I also
urge the Kenya National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry to continue
working closely with the County
governments to spur private sector
development at the County level.
The importance of the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
working in collaboration with the
government in promoting commercial
and economic cooperation between
Kenya and other countries need to
be appreciated. The governments
participation in trade missions in
Ethiopia, Turkey, Nigeria, China
and Qatar received commendable
contribution by the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Nigerian mission in particular has
been very successful in promoting
intra-Africa trade. The formation of
the Kenya-Nigeria Joint Trade and
Investment Council to which the Kenya
National Chamber of Commerce and
Industry forms the secretariat is an
achievement of the government with
the contribution of the private sector.
On this occasion of the re-launch, I
congratulate the management and
members of the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
and the entire business community in
Kenya.

Message from Cabinet
Secretary, Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and
International Trade
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade is mandated to spearhead
Kenyas economic diplomacy to enhance
trade and investments between Kenya and
the rest of the world. The functions of the
ministry include management of Kenyas
foreign policy and bilateral and multilateral
relations. On the eve of the re-launch of
the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and International trade acknowledges the
reforms that have been undertaken by
the leadership. I am aware of the role the
Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and
Industry and other Chambers worldwide play
in promoting private sector development
through engagements to establish trade
and investment opportunities for their
members the in the World. The Chamber has
a role to establish commercial and economic
relations with the private sector globally
through exchange of trade delegations,
trade missions, exchange of information and
Amb. Amina Mohamed,
Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade
PATRON MEMBERS
Monumental reforms undertaken by Chambers leadership
establishment of private sector led
joint trade and investment councils.
This is a very important element
of economic diplomacy to which
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International trade engage in as
the Government seeks to enhance
exports and overall trade between
Kenya and the rest of the world.
In the recent past, the Ministry
recognizes the contributions by
the Kenya National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry to State
visits where the Government of Kenya
signed bilateral trade agreements
to foster trade between Kenya and
the respective trading partners.
The trading partners include China,
Turkey, Qatar, Seychelles, Nigeria,
and Botswana. The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and International
trade is working to open up markets
for Kenyan businesses and the role of
the private sector through the Kenya
National Chamber of Commerce
and Industry is greatly underpinned.
With the Chambers new role on the
issuance of the ordinary certicate
of origin to facilitate trade, the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International trade ensured that
the requisite communications and
correspondences to Kenya and
foreign missions locally and globally
were undertaken.
The re-launch of the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
marks a new beginning and our
expectation as the Ministry is to
see enhanced contributions by the
business community in increasing
Kenyas share of world trade. As
the Ministry works to improve
exports incentives, the Kenyan
business community through
among others the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
are encouraged to enhance their
contributions towards ensuring the
Country achieves a balanced trade
with Kenyas exports worldwide
increasing and also the participation
of all Kenyans in exports trade. It
is important to highlight that the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International trade is in the process
of developing a national exports
strategy to unlock Kenyas exports
potential and a drive to ensure a more
contribution of international trade
to inclusive and sustained economic
development of our Country. This
way, our economy will be able to
increase net foreign earnings and
acquire the needed technological
equipment and other capital goods
that Kenya needs in her quest to
transform into an industrial nation
by the year 2030.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International trade supports and
congratulates the Kenya National
Chamber of Commerce and Industry
leadership and management on its
re-launch.

Chamber working to improve trade in the EA Community
www.kenyachamber.or.ke
The Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce
and Tourism is working to improve trade,
investment and Tourism in Kenya and in the
East African Community. The ministry works
very closely with the National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry in an endeavour to
achieve this mandate.
The chamber provides the framework where
the business community in Kenya can explore
and utilize the East Africa Integration process
to expand the realm of business opportunities,
investments as well as exports. As an
example of the close collaboration between
the Chamber and the Ministry during the
joint World Chambers Federation (WCF) and
International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
Global Trade Forum in Kampala, Uganda, I
agged off a trade delegation of 60 Kenyan
business people who crossed the border
using their identication cards. This gesture
signies the opportunities the implementation
of the EAC Common Market Protocol has made
available to the East Africans to do business
and which the National Chamber is expected
to take advantage of.
The ministry recognizes the critical role
the private sector is expected to play in the
implementation of Vision 2030 as trade and
investment are expected to make the highest
contribution towards the attainment of the
Vision. Since the chamber is home to both
large and small business entities we expect the
operations of the chamber to spur the growth of the
SMEs to become the engine of growth through trade,
investments and grow to join the export market.
The ministry will continue to offer the platform for
the private sector to expand their access to the
foreign markets. The Export Promotion Council will
continue to provide the necessary linkages between
the Kenya producers and foreign markets. In any
case, a stronger export base for our country will make
it possible for the acquisition of capital goods that
Kenya so need in her economic transition towards
a newly industrialized economy as envisaged in the
Kenya Vision 2030.
The ministry has put in place a mechanism to
ensure that the tourism sector is revitalized in the
wake of increasing security threats that have slowed the
growth of the important sector. We expect the National
Chamber and the private sector at large to ensure that
the incentives provided by the government to promote
local tourism is utilized by its members and in this way
all of us will be positively contributing to the growth and
development in our country while ensuring that tourism
continues to contribute its rightful share to the countrys
development.
Kenyan businesses have already expanded their businesses
to other East African Member States and this is so much
encouraged going forward. It is our expectation that the
new re-launched Kenya National Chamber of Commerce
and Industry utilizes more the opportunities existing in
the EAC as a launch pad to do business with the rest of
the world in a more robust way.
Chamber committees
The chamber operates through a Committee form
of management and currently has the following
Standing Committees:
Fairs and Exhibitions
Economic and Development
Finance Committee

Message from the Chairman,
Kiprono Kittony
The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (KNCCI is a non-prot, autonomous,
private sector institution and member based
organization.
It was established in 1965 to protect and develop
the interests of the business community in
Kenya. KNCCI is the umbrella lobbying body for
the business community in Kenya. KNCCI has
headquarters in Nairobi and County Chambers of
Commerce countrywide.
The objectives of the Kenya National Chamber
of Commerce and Industry include promoting,
coordinating and protecting commercial and
industrial interests of the business community,
organizing and participating in inbound and
outbound trade missions, exhibitions and fairs,
support legislation towards industrial and
commercial development, collect, collate and
disseminate commercial and industrial information
and training on the principles and practice of
commerce and industry.
KNCCI is afliate to the East African Chamber of
Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (EACCIA),
the G77 Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
Pan African Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(PACCI) and is a member of the International
Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and World Chambers
Federation (WCF).
Kenya is represented in the WCF General Council
for the period 2014 to 2016 where I sit as the
Chairman of the Kenya National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry.
Over the last one year, KNCCI has restructured
and seen institutional re-branding and the hiring
of new professional management team. KNCCI
has also been able to establish strong County
Chambers of Commerce in collaboration with the
County Governments. In addition, the Chamber
has increased its membership which is now rapidly
growing and we expect to achieve a target of
1,000,000 members through a Million March to the
Chamber initiative.
One of the most important objectives of KNCCI
is to ensure that the small, micro and medium
enterprises (MSMEs) are linked to local and global
premier business brands to be able to ensure greater
participation by Kenyans in economic development
through trade and industrial development.
The private sector is the haven of job creation in
Kenya and KNCCI acknowledges the overwhelming
support it has received from the government. Over
the last year, KNCCI has participated in a number of
inbound and outbound trade missions. KNCCI has
hosted trade delegations from Mexico, Thailand,
Iran, Turkey, Sri Lanka, China, Poland and Israel
where successful Business to Business (B2B) and
Business to Government (B2G) interactions have
been held.
In addition, KNCCI has participated in state trade
visits to Ethiopia, Turkey, Nigeria, Qatar, China
and Botswana. In addition, KNCCI has been able
to organize own trade missions with the support
of the government including
to Republic of Slovakia and
Uganda.
Over 60 Kenya businessmen
crossed the border to Uganda
on 17th June, 2014 to attend
ICC-WCF Global Trade Forum
symbolizing the free trade
existing in East Africa through
the adoption of the Common
Market level of Trade Integration.
Through these trade missions,
KNCCI has been able to sign over
13 memoranda of understanding
(MOUs) with other Chambers of
Commerce worldwide including
in Nigeria, China, Turkey, Egypt, Comoros, Qatar,
Slovakia, Morocco, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Sudan,
India and Mauritius.
Finally, we acknowledge the Governments and
commitment to see a vibrant Kenya Chamber of
Commerce and Industry. The Government through
the Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise
Development transferred back the mandate of
the issuance of the Certicates of Origin to the
Chamber with effect from 1st July, 2014.
We also thank the development partners who
have supported the Chamber in the course of
restructuring namely the Business Advocacy Fund
and underpin the commitment by the Chamber to
forge partnerships and collaborations to strengthen
the private sector in Kenya and its contribution to
economic development of our Country. Kiprono Kittony

Message from the CEO
Strategic Roadmap and
Achievements
The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce
& Industry (KNCCI) recently embarked on a
transformation journey to reclaim and take
back its rightful position in economic growth
and development of this nation. KNCCIs
primary objective remains to promote
business development through economic
empowerment which provides members
with the tools and resources they need
to build viable, sustainable and protable
enterprises. This will in turn facilitate the
growth of existing and emerging businesses,
by providing support in business development
locally, regionally and internationally
through network marketing and economic
diplomacy.
In 2013 KNCCI embarked on a transformation
agenda and in this regard engaged Crowe
Howarth International, a leading strategic
management rm to spearhead on a
strategic approach to audit and restructure
and naturally the adjustment of the current
business situation.
It involved a radical and surgical company
down-sizing and recruitment of key
strategic staff led by Chief Executive Ofcer,
Trade Development Manager & Business
Development Manager. This also meant an
overhaul of business membership operations
was inevitable and the relocation of KNCCI
secretariat from Ufanisi House to Heritan
House.
Top on the agenda was to enhance the
vision of KNCCI which is to promote,
protect and develop commercial, industrial
and investment interests of members in
particular and those of the entire business
community in general, aiming at inuencing
development policies, strategies and support
measures so as to achieve the best economic
climate for these varied interests.
To achieve this, under the guidance of the
National Chairman, Mr. Kiprono Kittony,
some key milestones have already been
realized including creation of patron
membership category to build a rm
foundation for KNCCI objectives. Also in
collaboration with the Government of Kenya,
the economic diplomacy portfolio of KNCCI
has made possible the following Incoming
Trade delegations from Mexico, Thailand,
Iran, Turkey, Sri Lanka, China, Poland, Israel,
Malaysia, with successful Business 2 Business
meetings with KNCCI members. Also realized
are crucial Outgoing Trade Missions to
China, UK, Ethiopia, Turkey, Nigeria, Qatar,
Botswana and Uganda. In all this MOUs, Bi
Laterals & Special Status Agreements have
been signed between the 2 nations by the
respective Presidents and/or Chambers. In
the next quarter outgoing Trade Missions
are to be to The USA, Algeria & Poland. We
further intend to sign or renew MOUs with
all 177 countries with an active chamber of
commerce with each respective country.
The following activities are lined in the
chambers strategic plan, Renew trade
relationships by signing new agreements,
establish key overseas marketing ofces,
branding and enhance marketing of KNCCI
Membership, todays Re-launch of KNCCI by
H.E. President Uhuru Kenyatta, improve our
productivity and competitiveness position,
enhance existing trading partnership and
remove non-tariff barriers and also build
capacities of Kenyan companies to match
international trade.
Finally, it is my great pleasure to congratulate
President Uhuru Kenyatta on assuming
the patronage of The Chamber and wish
the entire KNCCI fraternity and business
community success in this journey.
