In Eldoret, Muslims converged at Asis Hotel where
Uasin Gishu county commissioner Abdi Hassan put on

The warning follows the

We did not defy Chief Kadhi

it a big deal. It is an issue that
can easily be dealt with without
raising unnecessary debate.
Sheikh Ahmed urged Lamu
residents to cooperate with
security agencies in ensuring
peace and security is restored
in the county.
We urged our youth to cooperate with security ocers
patrolling our streets. They can
bank on a very small thing to
start harassing us and getting
into our houses to cause unnecessary trouble to us, he told a
parked Riyadha Mosque.
He said insecurity in the
county had even complicated
the work of security agencies
and challenged State intelligence organs to get those
behind recent killings of
nearly 100 people in Mpeketoni, Poromoko, Witu, Kakate
and Hindi.
Sheikh Aidrus, however,
raised the alarm over rising

cases of forceful disappearance
of young people reportedly
arrested by security agencies,
with their families kept in the
dark.
Those suspected of engaging in crime should be accorded
their constitutional rights by
allowing their lawyers to access and represent them in

The cleric also condemned
the ongoing Israeli bombing
of Gaza, adding that the world
especially powerful Western
counties had decided to go
quiet over the atrocities.
Those who have declared
themselves champions of
human rights and justice in
the world seem helpless over

in whatever we do, Mr Odinga said and

asked the government to stop claiming there wasnt enough money for the
plebiscite.
He and his Cord co-principals Kalonzo
Musyoka and Moses Wetangula said they
would not be deterred in their eorts.
The leaders said they had put a plan in
place to gather the signatures ahead of the
plebiscite and demanded that the government prepares itself to fund the poll.
The government should stop panicking
and wait for the questions which we will
present to Kenyans during the referendum, Mr Odinga told Cord supporters at
Huruma Grounds in Mathare, Nairobi.
Mr Odinga said the questions to be
put for referendum would include those
touching on devolution, security and
elections.
He at the same time criticised President
Kenyatta for demanding respect from
him (Odinga) and asked the Head of State
to earn your respect.
I respect him (the President) and I
also respected the courts decision (on
the presidential petition in the Supreme
Court). The President should stop demanding that I respect him, he should
earn his respect.
Mr Odinga asked Mathare voters to
come out in large numbers and vote for
Mr Kariuki in the August 7 mini-poll.
Mr Kalonzo said their plan was to gather
more than 5 million signatures during the
referendum and said the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
must also be sent packing.
He demanded that the government
should give 40 per cent of its revenue to
county governments.

It is also important to note that Ebola

endum, Mr Musyoka told the Cord
supporters.
Mr Wetangula also tore at the Jubilee
Government, saying it had failed Kenyans
and singled out the security contract
awarded to Safaricom, and the laptops for
primary schools and the standard gauge
railway tenders as some of the failures of
the government.
We want to tell the President that you
cannot be respected if you condone corruption and fail to provide security in the
country. Respect is earned not demanded,
he said.
The Bungoma Senator also asked Cord
aliated MPs and MCAs to step out and
ght for the opposition and as he pleaded
with the constituents to vote for the ODM
candidate to bury tribalism.
The Cord principals on Monday met
the experts selected to head their referendum push.
The chairman of the Committee of Experts, Mr Paul Mwangi, told the Nation
that his team and the principals reviewed
the 13 issues at the centre of the quest for
the referendum during a one-and-a-half

hour meeting at the coalitions Capitol
Hill headquarters in Nairobi.
The lawyer said his team debriefed the
leaders on their resolutions and listened
to their thoughts.
IEBC acting CEO Betty SunguraNyabuto has said the national referendum
being pushed by Cord will cost taxpayers
in excess of Sh8 billion.
Ms Sungura-Nyabuto told the Nation
that the commission would sit in due
course to work out the actual nancial
cost.
Estimates indicate that the cost of
the vote would be much higher than the
Sh7.2 billion spent on the 2010 referendum after which the current Constitution
was passed.
She ruled out a fresh voter registration
if Cord succeeded in its push.
The Cord leaders have told the electoral
commission not to worry about the source
of money to pay for the referendum, saying
it was the obligation of the government
to do so.
When the symptoms set in, after this

period, the person is too sick to travel
and soon becomes bedridden. Hence, the
chances of being infected on board have
been estimated to be minimal.
Kenya Airways ies 44 times a week
to 10 cities in West Africa. They include
Cotonou in Benin, Monrovia in Liberia,
Lagos in Nigeria and Accra in Ghana.
Other destinations are Dakar (Senegal),
Freetown (Sierra Leone), Yaound and
Douala (Cameroon), Bamako (Mali) and
Abidjan in Cte dIvoire.
The spread of Ebola is yet to be declared an epidemic and no travel ban to
aected regions has been recommended.
The virus has killed 660 people since it
rst emerged this year in Guinea. Cases
have also been reported in Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
It is a highly contagious disease that
can fell victims quickly by causing severe
fever, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhoea
and, in some cases, organ failure and
continual bleeding.
According to the World Health Organisation, the disease is fatal in up to 90
per cent of cases and is spread mainly
through body uids including sweat.
An infected person does not pose
danger until symptoms begin showing.
The virus has no vaccine, hence the most
important safety measure is to isolate a
person showing symptoms.

istghts, insults, heckling and

A Bill by the Senate stipulates a jail

in the county assembly.
The Bill is signed by the Leader

behaviour during debate.
MCAs have a history of violent and
rowdy conduct. One of the most memorable recent incidents of indiscipline
was at the Nairobi County Assembly

The debate over whether the
members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission
should be removed will be revived
in Parliament today as the National
Assembly begins debating a committees report on the petition by
a political activist.
That debate is likely to reignite
dierences between the Jubilee
Coalition and the Opposition Coalition for Reforms and Democracy,
who have diered in the past on
whether the electoral commission
members mishandled the General
Election in 2013.
The stage is set for a

three-day legal battle at
the Supreme Court over
the proposed migration
from analogue to digital
television broadcast.
A full bench of the top
most court will from today
to Friday hear an appeal by
the Attorney General, the

of Kenya and two foreign
media channels challenging
a judgment by the Court
of Appeal directing the
government to give digital

houses.

Eagerly awaited
Most members of the Justice

which handled the petition by

to reject the attempt to have the
nine commissioners removed.
A minority, made up of five
members from ODM, disagreed
and had their names, reasons for

recorded under the Report on

The MPs are preparing to contest the report and could argue that
the report tabled by Justice and

Samuel Chepkonga diers from

told the Nation.
BY NATION REPORTER
The ght for digital licences has gone through

the three major court
divisions with the final
decision of the Supreme
Court being eagerly awaited
by media stakeholders and
the public.
It started in October last
year when the Nation Media
Group, Royal Media Services and Standard Media
Group led a petition at
the High Court against the
proposed switch to digital
television broadcast.
Mr Justice David Majanja
dismissed the petition and
gave the government the
green light to proceed and
switch-o analogue television TV stations.
The media houses got

went to the Court of Appeal where Judges Roselyn
Nambuye, David Maraga
and Daniel Musinga ruled
that CCK was not the right
body to issue digital broadcast licences and cancelled
those issued to Pan African
Network Group Kenya .
They ordered the Government to give the three
media houses digital
licences and stopped the
Chinese owned Startimes
Television network and
GoTv Limited from rebroadcasting programmes
generated by the three .
The AG, CA, Startimes
and GoTv Limited however
contested the decision at
the Supreme Court, saying
the Appellate Judges misinterpreted the constitution
in arriving at the ndings
and that they had compromised Kenyas obligation
to the international digital
convention.
They argued that the
judges had exceeded their
powers since the court had
no power to grant broadcast
licences to media houses.
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga will preside over the
hearings with his deputy
Lady Justice Kalpana Rawal
joined by Judges Philip
Tunoi, Jackton O jwang,
Mohammed
Ibrahim,
Smokin Wanjala and Njoki
Ndungu.

or she creates or takes part in any
disturbance which interrupts or is
likely to interrupt the proceedings of
a County Assembly or the committee
sitting or fail or refuse to comply with
an instruction by a duly authorised
member of sta or a police ocer,
the Bill says in part.
It is important to provide for the
privileges and immunities of county
assemblies in order to protect their
authority, dignity and independence,
says the memorandum of objects.

Just like their colleagues in Parliament, county representatives cannot
be served with court orders within the
precincts of the County Assembly or
in its committees.
Debates in the assemblies will be
privileged once the Bill becomes law.
The Speaker, the leaders of the Majority and Minority parties, chairpersons
of committees and any MCAs cannot
be sued for actions in the course of
their duties.
The immunity is extended to the
clerks as well as other members of
sta who will not be liable to be sued
in a civil court or enjoined in any civil
proceedings for their commissions or
omissions in the discharge of their
ocial duties
The Bill establishes the Committee
of Powers and Privileges that will be
charged with the responsibility of inquiring into the conduct of members
and make recommendations on the
action to take on a member in breach
of County Assembly privileges.
It further spells out the penalties
that can be meted out on a member
found guilty of any misdeeds.
The Assemblies and their committees will have the powers of the High
Court in issuing summons in matters
they may be investigating.
Any county public officer who
refuses to appear or produce the
evidence demanded will have committed an oence and shall constitute

other equally qualied members of the profession who wish
to compete competitively in
lling vacancies in the Judiciary, said LSK secretary Apollo
Mboya.
He cited Article 232 of the
Constitution that provides for
fairness in public appointments
and promotions.
The current vacancies in
the Judiciary are required
to be advertised for all the
qualified, including private
law practitioners, to compete

with serving judicial ocers,
said Mr Mboya.
We urge the JSC to rescind
the notice and ll the vacancies
through competitive interviews
that will take into account meritocracy and competence as the
fundamental consideration,
said the societys secretary.
Mr Mboya was supported by
Prof Tom Ojienda, who represents lawyers in the JSC.
The position taken by the
LSK is the correct one. The
JSC is under obligation to
advertise any vacant post.
My position has always been
that all the openings should be
advertised and lled competitively, he told the Nation.
Lawyers, just like magistrates, are Kenyans and should
be given a chance to compete
for positions within the Judiciary. The JSC is no longer a
closed shop where you carry
out in-house promotions,
added Prof Ojienda.
But a High Court judge who
refused to be named because he
is not authorised to speak on
behalf of the Judiciary accused
LSK of creating a storm where
there was none.

Constable and wife found dead

BY NATION REPORTER
A policeman and his wife
were early yesterday found
dead by their children.
The children had gone to
nd out why the parents had
not woken up.
Police suspect the man, Mr
Julius Otieno Kimore, shot his
wife, Nelius Nduku, and then
turned the gun on himself at
Kamiti Corner in Kasarani.
The bodies had bullet wounds
in the heads.
Domestic worker Irene
Nazare said Mr Kimore arrived home at midnight and
went to the servants quarters
where they have been putting
up. The main house is still
under construction.
She said the wife, Ms Nduku

had arrived home earlier at
around 7pm, showered and
then went to her room.
She had promised to come
over and watch TV with me
in the temporary sitting
room but did not turn up
until 8pm. After dinner she
went to her room again, said
the worker.
Nazare said: At midnight

the man came home. I have
never heard them quarrel
and Im surprised by what
happened. We did not hear
any gunshot.
Kasarani police boss Augustine Nthumbi said the
policeman was attached
to the CID in Taita Taveta
County.
Mr Nthumbi said investigations had been started to
establish the motive.
He said a Ceska pistol
said to have been used in
the killings was loaded with
15 bullets, two of which were
used in the crime.
The couple had four children aged between 13 and
21 years.

Earlier, the hyena had stormed

Mr Nkumai Lolopetas house and
inicted a deep bite on his left leg
while another neighbour, Mr Mteto
Kirsan, escaped with a bruise on the
leg as they fought the animal out of

Those injured were taken to Rumuruti Dispensary and then transferred
to Nyahururu. Some neighbours went
to inform wildlife ocers about it.
The villagers killed the marauding
hyena.
Hyenas and other wild animals
are common in Maundu ni Meri
on the Rumuruti-Maralal Road that
cuts across ranches and conservancies.
Since the wild animals tend to
keep their distance, local people
have taken them to be harmless.
Mrs Lengoloya, who is a housewife,
explained that that was why she did

not rmly bolt the door of her hut
on Monday night.
The other reason is because her
husband, Mr Lengoloya, who is employed as a guard by the company
tarmacking the Rumuruti-Maralal
Road, arrives home very early in the
morning and the family nds it easier
for him to easily access the hut.
The man was on that night guarding

There should be no confusion

ary, which they said should only step

in after laws have been passed or the
Houses are through with a matter.
Nobody has the right to interfere.
The moment the Judiciary tries to stop
the National Assembly or the Senate
from doing its work, that is interference, said Mr Gitura.
He said if there is continued interference in Parliaments work by
the Judiciary, Kenya would go into a
Judiciary dictatorship.
If we cannot impeach a governor
because of the Judiciary, then we will

only impeach after they have given us
guidelines, said Mr Gitura.
Parliament represents the will of
the people and exercises their sovereignty. Parliaments job is to legislate.
Allow Parliament to do that and if
there are any provisions or laws that
are either unconstitutional or illegal,
go to court and seek to know whether
it complies with the Constitution, said
Mr Muturi.
In the last one year, Parliament has
had disputes with the Judiciary over

Extend sanctions to
Senators, MPs as well
egislation intended to regulate the behaviour

of Members of County Assemblies is
welcome if viewed against the stghts,
insults, heckling, and destruction of property seen
during some recent stormy debates.
Just like the Houses of Parliament, the 47 county
assemblies ought to be chambers where debate
and general legislative business is conducted in a
civilised fashion.
It was presumed that MCAs created under the
new Constitution would be a vast improvement on
the former city, municipality and county councilors,
who often stood out more for their thuggish
behaviour than for any respect for the rules and
conventions governing law-making.
Unfortunately, many of the old traits that
made the defunct councils such dishonourable
institutions have been inherited by the new system.
Part of the problem, obviously, is that the same
lot of leaders who served as councilors were
elevated to the new the positions.
The new County Assemblies, Powers and
Privileges Bill headed for the Senate stipulates
harsh penalties, including jail terms and nes,
for MCAs convicted of prohibited acts within the
precincts of county assemblies.
It proposes to do away with the immunities
normally granted to members of a legislative body
and impose punishments beyond suspensions and
expulsions. No doubt the MCAs have brought this
upon themselves with their raucous behaviour.
Kenyans will certainly want to see them tamed.
On a point of principle, however, it might seem
unfair and discriminatory to deny MCAs immunity
from arrest and prosecution for their conduct in
the chambers, while continuing to guarantee the
same to Senators and MPs. A similar law should,
therefore, be extended to Parliament.
Give peace a chance
t more than 1,000 casualties and counting,

the death toll in the ghting between Israel
and Hamas in Gaza is becoming a matter of
grave concern for the world community. Eorts by
the United Nations and the United States to broker
a truce between these perennial enemies have borne
no fruit.
Although this is in no way an attempt to
apportion blame, it is clear that the force used by
the Israelis against Hamas is overwhelming. And it
is also clear that the Palestinians will never give up
ghting for what they regard as their rights.
What is happening in the Middle East is a tragedy
of unimaginable proportions, and unfortunately for
Israel, it is fast losing the propaganda war.
It is sad that both the UN and the US have
resorted to pleading with Israel to observe an
immediate and unconditional humanitarian
ceasere in Gaza, at least during the Idd-ul-Fitr
celebrations.
Common sense should indicate that a twostates solution would once and for all settle the
Palestinian question, but the hardliners in both
Israel and Gaza will not see it that way. Isnt it time
everyone in the region realised that blood and gore
will never solve any problem?

FROM THE ASHES | Jaindi Kisero
This country needs strong lobbies to

ght for attractive business policies
I
am a supporter of strong
business associations.
They have historically
played a key role, especially
in putting pressure on
the State to pass marketfriendly policies.
In a sense, advocacy by
strong business associations
is how we have managed to
sustain a functioning market
economy.
Which is why the current
chairman of the Kenya
National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, Mr
Kiprono Kittony, deserves
praise for the work he
has done in reviving the
organisation.
The largest grassroots
association for traders,
the chamber, had almost
disappeared from the
limelight. In its heyday,
especially during the reign
of the late Francis Macharia,
as chairman, it was about
the only organisation that
could claim to have the
mandate of all large and
small businesses in Kenya.
Such was the power and
inuence of the chamber
that it was always able to
carry the whole membership
with it whenever it was
necessary for the business
community to take a strong
stance on a public policy
matter.
There was a time in this
country when business
associations had a great
deal of inuence.
I always remember with
the nostalgia the lobbying

politics and inuence as
practised in those days by
bodies such as the Kenya
Coee Growers Association.
Whenever the government
introduced a policy
decision they did not agree
with, their leaders would
immediately convene
meetings at the Thika
Sports Club, where they
would threaten to either
boycott coee picking or
stop deliveries to the Coee
Board of Kenya.
Long before the advent
of multipartyism, coee
farmers had developed a
mechanism of checking
abuse of executive
discretion.
The Kenya National
Farmers Union was a strong
voice, especially on matters
dealing with cereals. Thus,
the revival of the Kenya
National Chamber of
Commerce and Industry is
not without context.
I am especially impressed
by the calibre of the new
leadership of the chamber.
Politics has been

reduced to a game
where the elite
engages in quarrels
over how to distribute
public jobs
Indeed, the stature of the

organisation had over the
years been eroded to the
point where our nest men
and women individuals
with new ideas and
knowledge did not want
to be associated with the
chamber.
Yet we all know that this
country has some of the
most dynamic business
leaders and the best
nancial brains on the
continent.
You just have to travel
to Tanzania, Rwanda,
Uganda, or even South
Africa to realise how Kenya
is appreciated as a source
of human capital on this
continent.
The chamber is clearly
poised to become one of the
leading voices in areas such
as trade promotion and
economic integration.
I expect to see a
completely new chamber,
ready to up its game to the
next level by going into
areas such as sponsorship
of policy research on issues
which aect business.
And, because of its
national reach and presence
in almost all parts of the
country, the chamber will
serve as the best channel
for donors interested in
implementing programmes
targeting entrepreneurship
at the grassroots.
More than ever before,
this country needs strong
associations of businessmen
and women to continue

putting pressure on the
State to steer away from
polices that imperil macroeconomic stability.
We are in the middle
of implementing a new
Constitution that promotes
scal laxity.
Indeed, the Constitution
has spawned big-spending
governors and members
of county assemblies, who
love to travel to foreign
countries at the expense of
the taxpayer.
The Judiciary is also on
a spending spree, and so is
the National Assembly.
Institutions created to
enforce prudent public
nancial management the
Controller of Budget, the
Commission for Revenue
Allocation, the National
Treasury have been
rendered toothless.
And, politics is bereft of
policy, reduced to a game
where the elite engages in
unending quarrels over how
to distribute jobs in the
public sector between ethnic
communities.
We do not have popular
moderates. We do not have
statesmen with support
from across the political
divide.
Business associations
must rise again and keep
pushing for a new order of
an accountable and marketfriendly government.

THE CUTTING EDGE
THE WAY FORWARD | John Mbaria
Adopting a planning culture can resolve

the multiple crises bueting this country
K
enya is now at an
historical epoch
in which it faces a
multitude of crises. Some like
insecurity are so critical that
they pose an existential threat
to the country.
For many, the forces at play
are what have broken other
countries in Africa. But we do
not have to go that way. We
have no option but to use the
painful lessons we are learning
to make Kenya better.
One way of doing this is by
developing and embracing a
culture of planning. Doing so
requires us to acknowledge
that our destiny as a highly
disjointed country of 40
million is linked with the
fortunes of the geographical
entity called Kenya.
Ours is an incoherent
collection of interests bound
together geographically.
We are farmers, politicians,
businesspeople, students,
ethnic groups, political parties,
and so on. We have private
and group interests. But there
are also public, national and
foreign interests, which place
a diversity of conicting
demands on the country.
We are at a point in which
balancing all the diverse
interests requires dening the
middle ground, adopting a
give-and-take approach, and
accepting some pain so that
we can achieve the greater
good.
Our leaders must, therefore,
Protesters demonstrate over the

grabbing of their land by Lapsset
do away with the temptation
to do things haphazardly. They
must replace the traditional
way, not with the modern (or
Western) style, but with what
is appropriate for Kenya.
Politicians must allow
our planners to co-drive
Kenya. Planners must enable
politicians to steer the country
away from the current pain to
self-assurance (which comes
with meeting peoples needs).
Again, we cannot do this
without the input of planners.
Although there are dierent
branches, spatial planning is
one branch that we need to
bring back to life.
To get there, we must
remind top politicians that
although they have been
pushing so hard to secure
their legacy through the
implementation of mega-
buck projects mooted in the

Kibaki era, the projects might
eventually fail to achieve their
goals if they are not done
within the milieu of a national
spatial plan.
For instance, I am not sure
whether the government has
considered the full social,
ecological, political, cultural
and security implications of
the Lamu Port South Sudan
Ethiopia Transport Corridor
(Lapsset) will have on the
country.
Without a national spatial
plan, how has the government
been preparing the Orma,
Rendille, Samburu, Kore,
El-Molo, Borana, Wardei,
Pokomo, Dassanech, Gabbra,
Ariaal and the Maasai for the
fundamental changes bound to
take place on their lands once
the mega-project becomes a
reality?
Looked at dierently, are
our top politicians aware that
we now have two full-edged
entities Kenya A (Nairobi,
parts of the Coast and Rift
Valley, Mount Kenya, Lake and
western regions) and Kenya
B (Upper Eastern, much of
the coastal region and North
Eastern)? Are they aware that
the split of the two entities
sprung from the fundamentally
awed development policies
pursued since independence?
If it helps, politicians should
know that the unfolding
grave security and socioeconomic scenarios in
Kenya A and B are being

compounded by climate
change, unplanned land-use
changes, decimation of wildlife
by poachers, loss of ecological
integrity, proliferation of
small arms and interference
by foreign interests through
nice-sounding communityassistance and conservation
schemes?
Time has come for us to
sit around the table, think,
talk and dream about a
dierent Kenya not in the
manner suggested by the
Cord leadership, but out of
a realisation that what we
are now facing is a grave
existential threat.
Spatial planners under the
auspices of the Kenya Institute
of Planners are now inviting
Kenyans for such a dialogue.
This is because they have
realised that the businessas-usual approach to the
unfolding situation is not only
untenable; it will ultimately
lead to perilous consequences.
With this in mind,
planners in KIP are inviting
Kenyans for a dialogue with
a dierence; they are asking
Kenyans to nurture a national
development discourse and a
culture of planning through
which we could jointly address
the signicant challenges the
country faces.

SIX IS NOT TOO YOUNG. Children who are
intelligent enough to join Class One at six years should
not be blocked, says Chintan Gohel. He knows of
children, including his own brother, who entered Class
One at that age and went on to perform very well. The
exceptional minds out there, he adds, should not
have to waste a whole year, waiting to join school. In
the United States and several other countries in the
West, it is not unusual for students to join university at
18 or even younger.
BESIEGED BY CRIMINALS. Residents of Kinoo
are under siege from criminals, moans Betty Wanyoike.
Armed robberies, she adds, occur almost daily, as the
10 ocers at the local police post, which does not
have a motor vehicle, appear to be overwhelmed.
Why cant the police be provided with the vehicles
the government has been leasing lately? The criminals
have been acting with increased impunity since the
transfer of the Kabete police boss who was popularly
known as Ocampo.
CONTRACTOR SLUGGISH. The delay in the
construction of two footbridges over Mombasa
Road at Bellevue and at General Motors is to blame
for the rising number of pedestrian deaths on the
busy highway, says Patrick Musyoka. He has been
particularly pained to witness some of the fatal
accidents and hear about people being killed by
speeding motorists while trying to cross the road. The
city government, he pleads, should take the contractor
to task for his failure to complete the projects.

THE UNSUNG HEROES | Anthony Makokha
Grandparents bringing up two generations
he landmark ruling by a Kakamega

court to make a woman pay her
estranged husband child support
was probably one of most debated court
stories in the recent past.
The ruling not only generated heated
discussions on local FM stations, but
also trended widely on leading social
media sites. And for a good reason.
It is not because the infamous child
support concept is fast gaining ground
in Kenya, nor the fact that it is the rst
time a woman has been ordered to pay
for her husbands upkeep. It is a sign of
bigger things to come.
For me, the biggest victim of
neglected children, and whom the
Constitution never contemplated, is not
the single parent. Most single parents
in active child-bearing age are able
to work, earn a living and give their
children a decent life.
Many high-prole individuals the world
over have been ordered by the courts to
oer child support for their unknown
children as a result of extra-marital aairs
or short term relationships.
Most of those cases attract negative
media publicity and destroy other
relationships in the process. But in the
end, a successful child support court
battle is its own reward.
In my view, however, the person who
Many were reared by their

grandparents but no matter
how much you love your
grandchildren, taking them
into your home requires major
adjustments
deserves nancing for child support is a
grandparent. And this is why.
Many teenage girls, students, single
women including commercial sex workers
who get pregnant, end up abandoning
their babies with their parents.
This is partly because they do not have
the time or the money to take care of
their children, the man responsible for the
pregnancy is not cooperating, or because
they do not want to ruin their chances of
getting into another relationship.
Lets face it. Many people were raised
by their grandparents. And they are quite
successful. Although raising a second
generation brings happiness, and giving
your grandchildren a sense of security, it
comes with many challenges.
No matter how much you love your
grandchildren, taking them into your
home requires major adjustments.
Grandparents in many homes, roll back

the years to make a real dierence in the
lives of grandchildren.
One of the best kept secrets in many
homes are children born out of wedlock,
who are under the custody of their
grandparents. This is a big problem
because most married couples who have
undisclosed children cannot support them
lest the cat gets out of the bag.
This causes unnecessary suering to
those children and their grandparents and
the result is an increase in the number of
street children in major towns.
But what if the grandparents demanded
child support from their children and
their partners? What if it were possible for
them to argue a case in court to demand
the rights of the children under their
custody?
In most cases the fathers of those
children are always known by the
grandparents. There needs to be a way
for the grandparent to sue the father
of the child or children for neglect.
Grandparents are great people. They not
only raise a generation, they raise many
generations. They are the true unsung
heroes and must be protected.

LET THEM STAY AT HOME. Though happy about

the proposed insurance policy for police ocers, more
needs to be done to improve the morale of the people
who protect the lives and properties of citizens, says
Denis Munuve. To ease the housing shortage at police
stations, the ocers should be paid commuter, risk,
uniform and housing allowances so they can look for
their own accommodation among the people to be
able to gather intelligence more easily. Only duty
ocers should spend the night in police quarters.
DECENTRALISE. The devolved system that has
seen the creation of 47 counties is the best way to
ensure that resources reach Kenyans at the grassroots
to initiate development projects, says Edward Angira.
To ensure the goal is achieved, he adds, all National
Government departments should be replicated at
the county level. The most surprising oversight is the
failure to decentralise the oce of the Controller
of Budget. Such an ocial will approve the county
budget as he would understand its needs.
KUDOS TO IMMIGRATION. Keen to give credit
where it is due is Elizabeth Chater, who, during
her long stay in Kenya, has had to deal with the
Immigration Department to ensure that her papers are
in order. She is full of praise for an ocer, whose name
she gives simply as Daniel, in Mombasa. Says she:
Visiting the oce in the past was a much dreaded
experience. It was dirty, disorganised and unfriendly.
But last week, I found a complete transformation. It
was clean and well-furnished, and the sta, charming
and helpful. Congratulations!
Have a welcoming day, wont you!

Crackdown on hate
speech must be fair
The crackdown on hate speech
must be seen to be fair. Seeing a
young man in the name of Seth
Odongo alias Dikembe Disembe
spend nights in remand for alleged
hate speech when the usual hatemongers are out there really irks.
Detaining a young leader because
of the comments he made about the
societal evils land grabbing, corruption and ethnicity is not right,
particularly when others who fuel
hatred are left untouched.
What one candidate in the on-going Gatundu South by-election campaigns earlier said was much worse
than Dikembes alleged comment on
Mpeketoni attacks. Why has he been
left free? We should shun political
detention and bias at all costs.

Get rid of colonial relic

called summer vacation
The copy and paste mode of doing
things seems here to stay. Take the
judges who are expected to begin
their long annual leave from August
1 to September 15. And this despite
the fact that the same institution
is grappling with a crisis of cases
backlog.
It beats logic that such a big
number of judges should all go on
leave when nearly 180,000 cases
are pending. Chief Justice Willy Mutunga promised to reform the Judiciary and restore condence.
This culture of summer vacation
(summer?) began in the colonial era.
The reasons then were in tandem
with the times. What about now?

He quoted the Knec Act to this

hadnt he said it earlier? Was the
Act brought to his attention by the

The professor should advise the

SHORT TAKES
TALKING POINT
In Marwa, PCs are back, equating

government criticism to subversion
xperiences at the Coast

show that the promise of
the Constitution can easily
turn into a mirage, courtesy of conservative bureaucrats who fear the
same freedom the law bound them
to uphold.
One symptom of the resistance
to plurality of views is the instinctive equating of any criticism of
government to subversion.
Kanu blamed all murders, bank
robberies, food shortages and
even adversities of climate change
on clandestine schemes to bring
down the government. Famine
came because Mwakenya ate all the
maize and the 1990s killings in Rift
Valley, Western and Coast had been
organised by the Opposition.
Kanu hawks
That position, expounded by

PCs and Kanu hawks, technically
disqualied the Moi government
as credible mediator in the conicts. And after Mombasa County
Commissioner Nelson Marwa said
ODM is responsible for violence at
the Coast, he similarly undermined
the Jubilee Governments role.
It is easy to blame Al-Shabaab,
anonymous inciters or ethnic jingoists, but in the process we are
dragging the country back to pre2010 constitutional order when
perpetrators were named but no
action taken.
The Opposition role to criticise
the government to advance social
justice cannot be negated simply
because a county administrator
fails to get answers the public seek.
The intelligence knows that parents

tell their children that the genesis
of their problems is the grabbing
of their land by watu wa bara in the
1960s, people who are still the beneciaries of the LAPSSET.
They ought to report to the government that as long as the status
quo remains, political debate at the
Coast will of necessity be shaped by
land ownership, whether expressed
by ODM, NGOs or activists through
political rallies, the Press, social
media, or discussion under the
mnazi tree or by the re side.
It took Mungiki terror to accept
that wealth distribution in central
Kenya was the root cause of discontent among the youth. Mungiki did
not emerge in a day; those who controlled land and whatever else, gave
a deaf ear to the youth who then
ganged up to demand their share.
Then, as now, the provincial

administration reported a rise of
criminal gangs and locally disgraced them in barazas as snu
sning social mists. Not a thing
was reported about the economic
inequities. Administrators acted
solely at the behest of the elite,
which ruled out any negotiations
with criminals. Police moved into
action, slaughtering the youth but
their voices had been heard.
The unstoppable march of the
youth, be it at the Coast, Central,
Nyanza or Western is a development no one can wish away. We
know what they are demanding, and
this powder-keg is too important to
be left to county commissioners
who resort to colonial methods of
silence or misreporting.

Plan civil service shake-out to cushion retiring employees

Three words redeployment, retrenchment and
voluntary early retirement used to, and still evoke
apprehension on the part of targeted employees. This
is borne out of the fear of the unknown; for those
leaving employment, the thought of living without a
regular income on the same lifestyle is scary.
Whether retirees choose to invest their retirement
packages in business, the path is not without risks,
especially for those intending to start new ventures in
areas where they have no expertise. A lot of thought,
consultation and counselling is required for those
seeking self-employment.
A wise employer must maintain communication
and demonstrate fairness. A poorly planned and hur-
ried employee lay-o can result into court cases led

by dissatised workers.
The employer should also perform a balancing
act in how employees in dierent age brackets are
retained. At least 30 per cent should be over 40 for
institutional stability and memory. Yet a visit to any
government oce reveals aging employees. The HR
risks include decreasing productivity, higher salaries,
higher medical bills and more sick-os. Strategy is often compromised as old employees resist change.
The planned civil service changes are not about
playing to the gallery and attaining numbers. Its lifechanging for both employer and employee.

POLITICS AND PERFORMANCE:
While I agree that Cabinet secretaries should be professionals rather

Although some negative things have

some CSs who have never been in

that people are crying for their removal. Some have gone ahead to politicise issues, mouthing things that

Nigeria where a Liberian traveller

DEBATE QUESTION
Should KDF soldiers ghting the Al-Shabaab be recalled?
Is the government
justied to deduct
money from nonunion teachers?
GITHUKU MUNGAI: I think House

Majority Leader Aden Duale and his
ilk are missing the point when they
attack Mr Raila Odinga for asking
President Uhuru Kenyatta to pull out
KDF from Somalia. Remember, Mr
Odinga wants other African countries
to remain in Somalia under Unisom
but KDF to go back home. The President learned history in school. I think
he will accept that he is, compared
to war generals of the past, conveniently failing to address the country
on a number of things touching on
the war we have with Al-Shabaab.
He has a contract with us and he
should update his citizens frequently.

Of course probably the President is
not bothered by that, but no doubt
means well. Still, he ought to recall
from his history lessons that a retreat
is a well known tactic.
JOSEPH ITEBA: According to
Mr Duale, Cords demand that KDF

soldiers be withdrawn from Somalia
is similar to that by the terror group
Al-Shabaab. Cord is a party of more
than six million adult supporters. Are
all these people terrorists? I advise
our leaders to style up. Security is
everybodys business.

PRESS STATEMENT
NOTICE TO ALL HORTICULTURAL FRESH PRODUCE
EXPORTERS AND PRODUCERS
Kenyas horticultural sub-sector is a major source of employment, nutrition, food security,
and wealth creation and is a source of raw materials for industries. The European Union (EU)
is the single most important market for Kenyas horticultural produce, earning the country
approximately KES. 95 billion in foreign exchange (Economic Survey 2013); approximately 90%
of this value is from the EU.
Kenya exports our world renowned Kenyan beans (commonly known as French Beans), Mangetout
(Snow Peas), Baby Carrot, Baby Corn, Baby Spinach, Asian vegetables; fruits like Mangoes and cut
flowers such as Roses, Eryngium and Gypsophylia to name a few, to this key market.
Over the years, Kenya has endeavoured to nurture and protect this market. Indeed, over 6 million
Kenyans earn their livelihoods directly and indirectly through farming and exporting of the
various horticultural produce to the EU.
In recent years, however, the horticultural sub-sector has faced some challenges. Changes
in EU legislation that has made it difficult for our exported beans and peas in pods to meet
the requirements of pesticide Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for this market. The MRLs for
pesticides commonly used by farmers in Kenya such as dimethoate and chlorpyrifos were
lowered due to consumer preferences.
Through the EUs monitoring program, they realised some exceedances of MRLs on these
products and presence of harmful organisms especially in mangoes, gypsophila, eryngium, basil
and karella.
Subsequently, in January 2013, the EU decided to sample these exports at a frequency of 10% in
order to verify compliance. However, 90% of the beans and peas in pods still enters to the market
without being subject to the testing. Through the pre-entry testing program and inspection in
the EU, some consignments have been found to be non-compliant and resulted in notification and
interception due to exceedance of the MRLs and presence of harmful organisms.
The above has been occasioned by:
Inappropriate use of pesticides leading to higher levels of residues on the produce. Also
the presence of counterfeit pesticides has aggravated this problem due to their un-proven
performance in controlling pests and diseases on crops.
Interceptions of produce due to the presence of harmful organisms (pests) such as the fruit
fly, leaf miner and thrips which must be effectively controlled before the produce leaves that
production site (farms).
Collection of produce from unknown sources that has resulted in increasing the notifications
due to exceedance of MRLs, since the exporter in this case would have no control in the
management of the produce for export.
In view of the above, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, State Department of
Agriculture and the Horticulture Competent Authority Structure (HCAS) {comprising of Kenya
Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), Pest Control Products Board (PCPB), Horticultural
Crops Development Authority (HCDA) and the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI)} have
implemented the following strategies to ensure compliance with market requirements:
1. Continuous training of small holder farmers in areas where high number of notifications and
interceptions have been found.
2. Regular monitoring of pesticide residues and inspection of produce at both farm level and
points of exit (such as airports and border points).
3. Withdrawal of phytosanitary (plant health export certification) services for exporters who have
A KEPHIS staff inspecting beans at a godown at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport

before the produce is exported
received 5 notifications, resulting in the withdrawal of the export license.

4. Vetting and registration of exporters against contractual farming and all other requirements
as provided by the Horticultural Crops Development Order 190 of 2011. The exporters found
not to comply with these requirements to be stopped until they meet the requirements.
5. Registration, licensing and labelling of pest control products as per the legal requirements of
the Pest Control Products Act CAP 346.
6. Develop spray regime combinations with timings based on growth stage of the crop, and
recommend the best regime to the farmers to control pests and diseases leaving minimum
pesticide residues.
It has come to our attention that:
(i) Produce rejected by the HCAS is still exported through an alternative partner. This produce
results in an interception/notifications being received.
(ii Export companies whose licenses have been withdrawn are using other registered companies
to export the same produce.
(iii) Some exporting companies have exported without the necessary documentation especially
the Phytosanitary certificate.
(iv) Exporters have continued to source produce from unauthorised sources, from roadsides and
other such unsure places of collection.
(v) Application of pesticides without observing the pre-harvest interval (PHI). The PHI is
the period of time that a farmer MUST wait before harvesting of the produce. Further,
some exporters have not enforced the disease and pest management monitoring on their
production schemes.
In order to enforce compliance, the government has prepared legal amendments to gazette
for the restriction to using dimethoate, omethoate and chlorpyriphos; and destruction of
non-compliant produce.
In order to maintain market access to the EU, there must be behaviour change in doing business
for both producers and exporters. Some of these behavioural changes include but not limited
to:
Exporters should desist sourcing produce from unauthorised sources and adopt ethical
production practices. Those who do not adhere to the above will be de-licensed immediately
until they show evidence of compliance.
Ensure that all exports are accompanied with Phytosanitary certificates. Failure to this will
result in de-licensing according to HCDA Order 190.
Exporters should ensure they have technically competent staff who manage their production
systems.(technical officer and a scout).
Producers and exporters should only use the approved pesticides and follow the instructions on
the label, especially the observance of PHI.
EXPORTING REJECTED PRODUCE IS NOT ALLOWED.
PURCHASING AND EXPORTING PRODUCE FROM A COMPANY WHOSE LICENCE HAS BEEN
WITHDRAWN IS NOT ALLOWED.
THE HORTICULTURE COMPETENT AUTHORITY STRUCTURE WISHES TO STATE THAT THE
PRODUCTION AND EXPORT OF PRODUCE THAT MEETS THE EUS EXPORT REQUIREMENTS
IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PRODUCERS AND EXPORTING COMPANIES. THEY MUST
ADHERE TO THESE REQUIREMENTS.

Senators criticise proposal for new fertiliser regulatory board

BY NATION REPORTER
Senators have criticised a proposal
to create a board to oversee purchase,
sale, distribution and regulation of
fertiliser.
The Senate Agriculture Committee, whose chairman is Mr Kiraitu
Murungi (Meru, APK), said existing
institutions should be strengthened
to ensure farm inputs are provided
to farmers in time.
A proposed law the Fertilisers
and Animal Foodstu Bill that origi-
nated from the National Assembly,

seeks to establish a Fertiliser Board
of Kenya to take over the distribution
of the input from the National Cereals
and Produce Board (NCPB).
However, the senators suggested
that instead of creating a new agency
to take over distribution of fertiliser,
existing institutions such as the
Kenya Farmers Association and the
Kenya National Trading Corporation
should be strengthened and assigned
that function.
They said the institutions had the
structures to ensure fast delivery of

the input to farmers.
Sh100,000
The proposed ne for anyone who will
violate a planned fertiliser regulation
law
Delay in acquisition and distribution of fertiliser has been blamed for
poor harvests because farmers often
resort to planting without the required
quantities of plant nutrients.

The Bill, which is sponsored
by Mr Chris Wamalwa (Kiminini,
ODM), will enhance the penalty for
violation of the Act from Sh1,000 or
imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month for a rst oender, to
Sh100,000, if passed.
Senator Otieno Kajwang (Homa
Bay, ODM) opposed it, arguing that it
went against the governments intention to reduce parastatals to enhance
their eciency.
Why create another parastatal for
fertiliser alone when the President is

trying to reduce them?
We had a number of institutions
that were doing well in procuring
and ensuring farmers accessed farm
inputs on time, he said.
Global markets
Senator Henry ole Ndiema (Trans

Nzoia, Ford-K) expressed fear that
Kenyan products might not be accepted in global markets should the
Veterinary Services directors role in
fertiliser regulation be removed.

with a tough legal challenge.
The lawmakers are grappling
with how to proceed with the
impeachment of Mr Bernard
Kiala due to a gap in the law
on the matter.
The impeachment petition
is currently before Senate
Speaker Ekwee Ethuro after
it was forwarded there by the

The Constitution and the

clearly indicate the procedure
to be followed in impeaching

Article 181 of the Constitution gives the steps to be

followed to remove a governor
but does not mention anything
about the deputy.
Section 33 of the Act also
does not say what should be
done to send a deputy governor home. Sub-section 10 only
talks about lling of the positions of governor and deputy
governor.
A vacancy in the oce of

shall be lled in the manner
provided for by Article 182
of the Constitution, says
the law.

agreed that there was no law
to guide this process, but said
the High Court had claried
what to do.
It is a legal challenge that

TOM OTIENO |
NATION
In an interview with the Nation

yesterday, Mr Okeyo said it was
not clear who was in charge of
the county in the wake of the
governors denials.
The governor was quoted in
the Sunday Nation saying he was
not aware of the deal signed with
the foreign rms by Ms Doris
Ombara, acting Kisumu city
manager.
Who are these people who
purport to be signing these
multi-billion waste management
deals on behalf of the county if
the county government is not
aware? wondered Mr Okeyo.
Most of the things that I do

in the county have been viewed
as being politically-motivated. I
chose to wait for responsibilities
that are handed over to me by
my governor, she said.
She denied claims that she was
out to undermine the authority
of the governor.
On his part, Mr Ranguma said
the work of his government was
to serve county residents.
The work for which we were
sworn in, is for the interest of the
people. We cannot engage the
county in things that will hurt the
people, said Mr Ranguma.
Delegated authority
Such comments, he added,

have left residents baed at a
time when his government is in
the spotlight over the tender.
He also took a swipe at the
County Assembly for failing to
play the much-needed oversight
role.
Our MCAs have been accused of holding the governor
at ransom; they cannot help
the county eradicate waste in
our midst, said Mr Okeyo.
On her part, Ms Odinga maintained that her mandate was
based on delegated authority

A row has erupted over the sale of
railway land with the county leadership saying it was not informed.
The assembly halted construction of business premises on the
land saying the state corporation
ought to have leased the land to
the county government to settle a Sh200 million owed to the
county.
Three developers were issued
with a 15-year lease on the ve-acres
by the defunct Nakuru Municipal
Council in February last year.
negotiated for it with the

local government.
Col Wesonga said that
there were no settlements
on it at that time.
The spokesman said the
military was issued with a
title deed of the land in
2006 and it is only when
they started fencing it that
the locals started complaining.
We ceded part of the
land for the locals after
surveys were carried out in
2002 and we realised they
had already encroached on
ours, he said.
Bus park and market
The deputy leader of majority, Mr

Paul Chebor, said public interest
ought to have overridden private
interests in the transaction.
He added that he learnt from
former Nakuru town planner Willy
Keter that the land was earmarked
for a bus park and a market.
The council had started negotiations with Kenya Railways
to acquire the land and we are
surprised private developers got
the lease, said Mr Chebor.
Mr Chebor said he asked why
the lease agreement was signed a
month before the new county government was sworn into oce.
He said he read mischief. One
of the lease agreements is dated
February 6, 2013.
Abused kindness
The military has abused

your kindness. The county
government has started
surveying all land and we
have started with this area
so that we can do away with
land grabbing. Soon you will
get your allotment letters,
the governor said.
Eskon Kerio,72, who
hace been in court over
the matter since 1986
said he remembers the
soldiers being allowed by
elders to build temporary
tented camps near the
Lewa river.
The governor said according to the countys
plans, the land that was
held in trust by the local
government for the community and there was no
military training school
in it.
He, however, said that
they has been no problem
with the area originally occupied by the army, saying
that what is in contention
are the new areas they are
trying claim ownership.
In a recent stando, residents blocked army tractors
from clearing the land.
Elders maintained that in
the early 1980s, they grazed
their livestock on the land
in dispute.

Some health workers in our public

Nakuru > Venture will generate income and raise standards of living
Ministry pushes for more sh farming

Ocial wants more
residents to venture
into the business to
avoid depletion of
tilapia in the lake
BY MORAA OBIRIA
@moraaobiria
mobiria@ke.nationmedia.com
campaign has been started for

more sh farming in Nakuru to
curb the depletion of tilapia in
Lake Naivasha.
The Fisheries ministry said that at
present, the fresh water lake is the
only place where commercial shing
is allowed.
Kisumu |
There is need
for Nakuru
residents to
increase the
use of pond in order to
reduce over-reliance on
Lake Naivasha
Fisheries Ocer Mary
Mukaru
The lake provides a direct source of

income to more than 10,000 people,
despite the competition they face from
illegal shermen.
In the aggressive drive by the
ministry, local residents are educated
on the establishment of sh ponds
instead of depending on the lake for
their supply.
Nakuru County fisheries officer
Mary Mukaru said sh farming was
lucrative and can create jobs for unemployed youth in the county and
reduce poverty.
Fish farming is possible even in
dry areas where liner ponds are constructed and stocked.
There is need for Nakuru residents
to increase the use of ponds in order
to reduce reliance on Lake Naivasha,
said Ms Mukaru during an interview
in her oce.
The practice of illegal harvesting
by the unlicensed shermen has been

blamed for the depletion of tilapia in
the lake.
However, as the demand for the
delicacy continues to grow, Ms
Mukaru said there was need to nd
solutions to protect the sh in the lake
while ensuring that locals continued
to enjoy eating sh.
She said that when locals diversifed
into farming, they were meeting their
nutritional needs and generating an
income.
Most sh ponds in the county
are managed by groups but if each
member constructs their own, individual earnings will double, Ms
Mukaru said.
Under the new tax regulations
by the Nakuru County Government
one must obtain a Sh2,000 licence to
construct a pond.
Fishing community calls for divine intervention
Governors have accused the national government of trying to wrest
the control of hospitals from them
by allocating less funds.
We asked for a minimum of Sh238
billion only to be given Sh226 billion.
We are short of Sh12 billion to run
county health dockets smoothly, the
governors said.
The county chiefs claim the allocation of Sh1.8 billion for Level
5 hospitals, instead of a minimum
of Sh8 billion, is meant to create
a crisis.
This, they said, will trigger calls
to return the health services under
the national government.
Since the Fourth Schedule of
the Constitution assigns hospitals management to the devolved
units, governors feel that there are
ocials in the government who are
not willing to let go.
Billions of shillings that governors had

requested for the running of health
services in the counties
We perceive a scheme by the
national government to underfund
county health services so as to get
an excuse to revert the sector to the
central government, the council,
through, through chairman Isaac
Ruto, said on their Twitter account
yesterday.
Last week, Parliament voted
to give Sh1.8 billion to the Level
5 hospitals after receiving recommendations from a mediation team
comprising of MPs and senators,
headed by Gachoka MP Mutava
Musyimi.
The team said that the Constitution does not clearly state
who should take charge of Level
5 hospitals.
There is need to nd a mechanism of dealing with the matter to
enable the hospitals to function appropriately, the committee said in
a report tabled last Tuesday.

Wajir | Ahmed Abdullahi wants airport commercialised
Governor: Our insecurity

spills over from Somalia
Correspondent
Shekhey Ahmed
interviews
Wajir Governor
Ahmed Abdullahi
Mohamed.
Excerpts
Q. What is the security situation
in the region, especially Wajir?
Governor: There are multiple
issues to be addressed. One is a
clan conict spilling over from
Mandera. Two is Al-Shabaab
and the general insecurity in
Somalia. We are dealing with
a porous border that is not
adequately manned. There is
general lawlessness as a result
of lack of basic policing. Wajir
accounts for 10 per cent of Kenyas land mass, yet there are less
than 500 security ocers on the
ground. Settlements are many
and the distance between them
huge. Our communication and
road network is poor.
How have you managed to deal
with insecurity?
We bring communities together and invest heavily in
peace and conict resolution.
In this, we are working with
Mandera leadership. There are
certain issues security forces are
turning a blind eye to. One is
the Somali Transitional Federal
Government (TFG) fallout. We
need to know about the presence
or otherwise of hundreds, if not
thousands of TFG people who
have come here and we should
be truthful. We need to go back
to the records and nd out how
many came and in which constituency and what their impact
is on our security. The blanket
condemnation of leaders should
stop.
What vision do you have for

Wajir and where do you see the
county in 10 years?
We started dealing with
basic issues. We began xing
the road network. The money
we are getting in terms of equitable share is not sucient to
deal with our problems. This is
a county that has been historically marginalised. It does not
have a lot of investments. We
bought road and agriculture
equipment and invested heavily in water and health. Gas has
also been found in Wajir, meaning we rate ourselves as an oil
and gas economy. We want to
train youths so that when this
oil comes, we have sufficient
manpower. We are reviving
polytechnics and teaching youth
basic skills like driving and welding. My government has asked
for a commercial terminal to be
constructed at Wajir Airport. It
needs to be demilitarised. We are
also spending close to Sh200
million on the completion of an
abattoir. The idea is to export
halal meat and meat products
to the Middle East. We want to
establish a leather industry, too.
In 10 years we should have done
away with calamities resulting
from drought.
the ground and across the country. Unfortunately, wholehearted

implementation of devolution is
being frustrated by institutional
ghts. The national government,
for instance, is unable to utilise
the equalisation fund and leaves
it to the county authorities because of the ghts.
What do you think of the push
for referendum?
It brings together views that
are hard to combine. As the
Council of Governors, we are determined to close this matter of
quarrels on revenue division. The
issue of security needs national
dialogue while that of IEBC is
very divisive but I know that in
due course, we will deliberate on
it and take a stand. We are not
doing anybodys bidding. We
take a
s t a n d
based
o n
What is your view on

devolution?
I believe devolution started
o well, although there are certain aspects of the transition
that could have been managed
better. A lot of time was spent
by politicians and technocrats at national level
discrediting devolution. If there
is one thing
that is working for the
Jubilee government, it
is that it is
seen on
Is the situation improving?

It is stable. There has never
been insecurity in Wajir. Over
the last decade, Wajir has
been the most peaceful
county in Kenya. Before
the recent clashes, the
Inspector-General of Police
released an annual report,
which showed that Wajir
had the least crime rate
in the country.
how it impacts on counties.

What is your take on Senators
chairing County Development
Committees?
We oppose it because it raises
constitutional questions. The law
is clear on separation of powers
and the issue of planning for development within the county is
not a legislative but an executive
function. Senators as protectors
of county governments are not
supervisors of governors.
Youve recently been petitioned
over inequitable resource
distribution and corruption.
This is propaganda by my
opponents. The National Assemblys agenda was being hijacked
by some MPs to settle personal
scores. Fortunately, the draft
Bill to impeach governors was
declared unconstitutional by the
AG. This petition you are talking
about was prepared on the understanding that should that Bill
pass, someone could use certain
people to have me impeached.
Once they realised it was headed
nowhere, they ran to the Press.
What do you think is the greatest
obstacle to development in Wajir?
Our greatest desire is to
see the road from Garissa to
Mandera paved. It will be a
game-changer for it would open
up northern Kenya.
This would also reduce insecurity.

voter registration
Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa has asked why the
electoral commission has not ensured ecient voter
registration in Opposition-controlled areas, charging that Jubilee strongholds were being favoured.

nothing to hide? We dont want an early election

They said Genetically Modied Organisms
(GMOs) would help solve the recurrent food
shortages caused by crop failure.
The farmers, who suered losses after their
crops were attacked by the maize lethal necrosis

disease, said the importation of GMOs would
boost food security.
The introduction of genetic foods will save
us the trouble of a food crisis, said a largescale farmer in Uasin Gishu County, Mr Wilson
Kosgei.
Millers have termed the sanction on GMO
products as technical, saying that the country
might be forced to import to resolve the current

maize shortage.
We are buying maize from Uganda and Tanzania, which is insucient. The other countries
we may turn to are Malawi and South Africa,
said Cereal Millers Association chairman Diamond Lalji.
Millers have raised the cost of our by ve
per cent because of the maize shortage. A two-
kilogramme packet of maize our sells at Sh115,

up from Sh100 in most shops in the past two
months.
The shortage is partly caused by hoarding
of maize by farmers speculating on a price
increase, Mr Lalji said on phone.
A bag of maize costs Sh3,600, up from
Sh3,200, in the North Rift. The price is likely
to increase further as stocks dwindle.

BY KERRY SHERIDAN
WASHINGTON, Tuesday
he deadly Ebola virus can

spread like a forest re,
US health authorities
said yesterday, urging travellers to West Africa to take extra
precautions amid the largest
outbreak in history.
Since March, there have
been 1,201 cases of Ebola and
672 deaths in Guinea, Liberia
and Sierra Leone, the Centres
for Disease Control and Prevention said. Two Americans
one doctor and one healthcare
worker in Monrovia, Liberia
have come down with the virus,
characterized by fever, joint pain,
diarrhoea, vomiting and often
fatal bleeding.
The likelihood of this outbreak spreading beyond West
Africa is very low, admittedd
Stephan Monroe, deputy director
of the CDCs National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
But, he added, it is a rapidly
changing situation and the CDC
must be prepared for the very
remote possibility that a sick
traveller could bring the disease
into the United States.
The CDC issued a level two

notice one notch below a
call to avoid nonessential travel
to the region warning people
to avoid contact with blood and
bodily uids of sick people in the
aected countries.
The CDC also sent out a notice
to health care professionals in
the United States, reminding
them to find out if patients
have travelled to West Africa in
the last two weeks, to familiarise
themselves with the symptoms
of Ebola and to isolate any suspected cases.
Most of the exposures to Ebola
in health care settings have
been through needle sticks and
exposure while disposing of the
diarrhoea, vomit and blood of
sick people, said Dr Monroe.
People are not contagious unless they exhibit symptoms, but
often these signs like fever and
body aches can be mistaken
for other diseases like malaria
and Lassa fever, experts said.
Also, only about half of
cases involve bleeding, despite
the perception that Ebola is
characterised by widespread
haemorrhage.
The State Department said
the United States was providing
Elavator use: In Liberia, the

Ministry of Finance and Development Planning whose
employee was killed by
Ebola has ordered use of the
elevator is restricted to only
4 persons per trip.
Crowds: No clustering on
the stairways is allowed at
the ministry and no gathering of more than ve persons allowed.
No hugging: No handshakes, hugging or other
physical bodily contact allowed at the minmistry.

and other essential supplies to
the aected areas.
Were taking every precaution, of course, as would be
expected, said spokeswoman
Jen Psaki, adding that the situation was not expected to aect a
planned summit of African leaders next week in Washington.
The CDC said the family
members of the American doctor who has contracted Ebola,
Kent Brantly, had been living
with him in Liberia.
However, by the time he fell
ill they had already returned to
the United States. As a precau-

tion, they are being monitored

for signs of fever for the incubation period of 21 days.
An outbreak could not be
declared over until two full
incubation periods 42 days
have passed without new
cases, he added.
The concern is that the outbreak can be reseeded, much like
a forest re with sparks from one
tree, said Dr Monroe.
That is clearly what happened
in Liberia, he said, noting that
the country made it for more
than 21 days without cases, but
Ebola returned.
They were reseeded by
cases coming across the border, so until we can identify
and interrupt every source of
transmission, we wont be able
to control the outbreak.
The fatality rate from Ebola
can reach as high as 90 per cent,
though this time it has stayed
around 60 percent, suggesting that protective measures
are having an eect, the CDC
said. (AFP)

TRAGIC LOSS | France bore the brunt of the tragedy, with 54 of its nationals killed in the crash
Air Algerie pilots asked to turn back

The

says
minister
PARIS, Tuesday
rance said today the pilots

of the Air Algerie passenger
plane that crashed in Mali,
killing all 118 people on board,
had asked to turn back in a new
development to a complex probe
into the tragedy.
What we know for sure is that
the weather was bad that night,
that the plane crew had asked
to change route then to turn
back before all contact was lost,
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius
told reporters in his latest brieng
about last weeks disaster.
Reports that the crew asked
to amend their route because of
bad weather conditions emerged
almost as soon as the tragedy
came to light on Thursday, but
the revelation that they subsequently asked to turn back is a
new development.
Speaking hours after the black
box ight recorders of the McDonnell Douglas 83 jet arrived in Paris
from Mali to help investigators,
Mr Fabius said air crash experts
currently on the remote desert site
of the accident were working in
extremely dicult conditions.
More than 20 French experts
from the countrys Bureau of Investigations and Analyses (BEA),
which probes air accidents, as well
as specialist police forces were on

said. Experts from Mali, Algeria
and Spain were also helping to
determine why the plane which
was operated by Spanish charter
rm Swiftair on behalf of Air Algerie came down with such force
that it completely disintegrated.
Investigators from the United
States were also due to join them,
Fabius added, as McDonnell Douglas belongs to US aviation giant
Boeing. The BEA announced on

Monday evening that it had already extracted basic data from
one black box, including the speed,

altitude and trajectory of the plane,

without detailing them.
Decoding and detailed analysis of this data will now start with
members of the Malian probe commission, the bureau said, adding
that the head of this commission
would announce any future results.
But the BEA said it was still busy
recovering cockpit conversations
from the other flight recorder,
which had been damaged by the
impact.
The bureau has faced this type
of challenge before, such as in the
2009 crash of the Yemenia ight in
the Comoros, when investigators
took two weeks to extract data.
Mr Fabius painted a bleak picture of the conditions under which
experts were sifting through plane
debris and trying to recover remains of the victims in Mali.
The (human) remains are pulverised, the heat is overwhelming
with rain to boot and with extreme
diculties in communicating and
in transport, he said.
Its a long, fastidious and extremely complex job, he added
at the foreign ministry in Paris,
where the ag ew at half-mast in

CALL | Moscow seeks a ceasere
Russia calls for

crash probe
under the UN
Inquiry must begin
as quick as possible,
says Sergei Lavrov,
the Foreign minister
MOSCOW/KIEV, Tuesday
he investigation into
the crash of Malaysia
Airlines flight MH17
should be held under the aegis
of the United Nations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov said yesterday.
We believe that such an inquiry must begin as quickly as
possible under the UN aegis,
Mr Lavrov told reporters.
We are alarmed about the
fact that some of our partners
are trying to turn the practical,
all-involved investigation into
separate bilateral talks with
the Ukrainian government,
he said.
He added that Russia demands the implementation of
a safe access for international
investigators, saying his country hopes that no one will try
to cover up traces during the
investigation.
We insist on an impartial
and transparent investigation
into the crash. Russia abides
by the UN Security Council
resolution, which requires
all parties not to take any
action that might complicate
the investigation, Mr Lavrov
said.
Russia will seek a ceasere
for the investigation and the
West should inuence Kiev in
this regard, he said.
We heard about Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenkos
pledges. But his words do not
match his deeds. The ghting
continues, he said.
Mr Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry
have called for an immediate
ceasere in eastern Ukraine,

but the two sides keep blaming
each other for hindering the
investigation and escalating
conict between government
forces and insurgents.
Meanwhile, Russia criticised today a UN report on
the human rights situation in
eastern Ukraine as biased
and hypocritical.
Our main conclusion is
that the report is biased and
even hypocritical, Foreign
Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in
a statement. Its key message is that the Ukrainian
government can continue
to legitimately use force to
reestablish order in the east
of the country, he said.
The UN released Monday
its fourth report on the human
rights situation in eastern
Ukraine where pro-Russian
rebels and government forces
have been ghting since midApril. (Xinhua, Agencies)

Dont laugh loudly, Turkish deputy PM tells women

ISTANBUL, Tuesday
One of the most senior
members of Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogans government sparked
an outcry today after declaring
that women should not laugh
loudly in public.
Deputy Prime Minister
Bulent Arinc, one of the
co-founders of the ruling
Islamic-rooted Justice and
Development Party (AKP),
made the comment while
lamenting the moral decline

of modern society.
A man should be moral
but women should be moral
as well, they should know
what is decent and what is
not decent, Mr Arinc said
in a speech on Monday in the
western Bursa region for the
Bayram holiday that marks the
end of Ramadhan, the holy
month of fasting for Muslims.
She should not laugh loudly
in front of all the world and
should preserve her decency
at all times, he added.

The ruling AKP is accused
by critics of seeking to erode
Turkeys strict separation of
religion and state the basis
of the secular republic founded
by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Arinc went on to denounce
a moral degradation that left
society awash with drugs and
prostitution, and lashed out at
popular Turkish soap operas
for encouraging lax lifestyles,
in comments quoted throughout the Turkish media and
online. He denounced the

excessive use of cars, saying
that if even the river Nile
was lled with petrol, there
wouldnt be enough to go
around. He also slammed the
excessive use of mobile phones
in Turkish society, with women
spending hours on the phone
.to swap recipes.

2013 and 2014.
The payments were not made

he number of Kenyans

almost doubled in the
rst three months of the year,
as football lovers stayed glued

regulator says.
In statistics released on
Monday, the Communications
Authority of Kenya said the average weekly television audience
rose by 82 per cent to 654,500
viewers, up from 360,000, in the
quarter to December 2013.
The growth in television
viewership could be attributed
to the increased number of premier league games, especially
the English Premier League,
which was aired live during
the period under review, the
authority said.
At 82 per cent, TV viewership
is the fastest-growing segment
in the information and telecommunication industry.

European football leagues,

which have become popular

This came in the wake of
a fight between Wananchi,

2014 Fifa World Cup.
The Kenya Broadcasting
Corporation asserted its rights
to exclusively air the tournament
after suing the two pay-television rms for beaming the
matches.
During the period under
review, average weekly radio
listenership increased by 19.9
per cent to 4.5 million, boosted
by promotions and competitions that were held during the

quarter.
In terms of broadcasting
content, music and movies continued to fall shy of government
quotas, with only 15.1 per cent
and 7.4 per cent being sourced
locally, respectively.
local content remains
dominant for drama, news, discussions and documentaries.
However, foreign music and
movies still hold the highest percentage in terms of programming
for both radio and television, the
report notes.
According to the health centre,

the pair entered into an agreement
with the fund in 2012 for the provision of primary healthcare and
medical treatment services for
9,954 civil servants and their
dependants.
Mr Karakacha said the payments were supposed to be made
quarterly in advance.
The hospital claimed that it met
its end of the bargain (oering
medical services) but the NHIF
has refused to honour its part.
Dr Mary Madumadu, who is incharge of the cover at hospital, said
the insurance fund had refused to
release data of all those covered
in a bid to conceal that they were
actually given medical care.
She claimed that at other times
the fund requested the health
centre to provide medical care
to its members who did not appear on the electronic data given
to them.
The fund, however, dismissed
the allegations, saying that the
hospital continued to provide
health services despite the expiry
of a one-year contract between
the two parties. The proceedings
continue.
Sales from Kwale mineral sands mining project increase

BY NATION REPORTER
Sales from the Kwale mineral sands project
increased during the quarter to June, according
to new data released by Base Resources, which
runs the initiative.
The company shipped 91,529 tonnes of
ilmenite during the period. Rutile and Zircon
exports totalled 14,005 tonnes and 2,704 tonnes,
respectively.
Bulk loading at Bases fully owned and
operated Likoni port continued to perform to

expectations throughout the June quarter. Base
completed four bulk shipments of ilmenite and
two of rutile.
It commenced container shipments of Zircon
in April, and completed a total of 12 shipments
through the June quarter, a statement released
by the company on Friday, says.
It attributed the good performance to improving conditions in their main markets, including
China. Base Resources is currently involved a
tussle with Kwale County, which has slapped

an export levy on its exports. The regional
government has imposed a $57 tax a tonne
of exports from the Kwale project, which the
company is disputing.
In its latest update, Base Resources said it was
working with the county and national governments to have the export levy withdrawn on
the basis that it is unconstitutional.
The company is in talks with lenders to reschedule repayment of the Kwale Project debt
facility to reect the delay in commencement

of mineral sales to February this year from the
original October 2013 date.
Last year, the country fetched Sh19.7 billion
from sale of minerals down from Sh27.6 billion
earned during the previous year representing
a Sh28.6 per cent drop in earnings from the
sector.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics attributed the drop in earnings to reduced production
of gold triggered by price uncertainty.

AVIATION | Japan Airlines prot declines
YOSHIKAZU TSUNO | NATION
A member of Japan Airlines ground sta (centre) handles passengers at a check-in counter at
Haneda Airport in Tokyo yesterday. JAL said its net prot for the April-June quarter fell by 19.4 per
cent to $145 million as a weak yen and soaring fuel costs dug into its results.
TELECOMS | Restructuring helps reduce costs
Price war cuts Orange

earnings by one third
French
rm,
however,
stands by
its prot
projection
for the rest
of 2014
PARIS, Tuesday
rench telecom group Orange reported a near one-third plunge

in net prot in the rst half of
the year, but stood by its targets for
the whole of 2014.
The group, formerly France Telecom, and caught in a mobile-phone
price war and restructuring of the
entire countrys telecoms sector,
said it had cut its costs and steadied
underlying performance.
Net profit for the six months
amounted to 744 million euros ($999
million), down by 30.3 per cent from
the equivalent gure last year, from
sales of 19.5 billion euros.
Orange, a leading international telecom operator, said in a statement
that it was pursuing a policy of
selective acquisitions by concentrating on markets in which it is already
present.
The French telecom market is in
turmoil following the emergence of
Free as a national low-cost operator,
largely thanks to a capacity contract
999
Millions of dollars that French rm
reported in net prot for the rst half
of this year
with Orange which sparked a price

war. Orange has suered from losing customers to competitors, but
the half-year statement said that the
fall in sales had slowed down, and
that signs of improvement in the rst
quarter had continued in the second
quarter.
This was the case in its home market and in Belgium, Poland, and in
services to businesses. Performance
was, however, growing strongly in
the Africa and Middle East region,
it said. The drop in sales in France
slowed to 4.7 per cent in the rst half
from a fall of 6.9 per cent in the same
period last year.
Performance fell
But performance by the mobile

phone activities fell by 8.7 per cent,
and the number of French customers
was steady at 27 million out of whom
two million subscribed to fourth-generation 4G high-speed services.
Underlying performance as measured by earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation was 6.1
billion euros in the rst half in line
with the groups forecasts.
The operating margin, a key measure of protability, was about steady
at 31.3 per cent. The price of shares in
the group was slightly up by 0.04 per
cent to 11.815 euros in mid-morning
trading.

Microsoft under probe for monopoly

SHANGHAI, Tuesday
A Chinese inquiry into Microsoft is probably targeting its
monopoly of the countrys
operating systems market,
state media said today after
the US software giant became
the latest foreign rm under
Beijings scrutiny.
Microsoft confirmed in a
statement late yesterday that

it was under investigation
in China without disclosing
details.
We aim to build products
that deliver the features, security and reliability customers
expect, and we will address
any concerns the government
may have, it said. The inquiry
comes after China banned the
use of Microsofts Windows 8

operating system on all new
government computers in May,
amid reports alleging security
concerns.
In the same month, the
United States indicted five
members of a Chinese military unit for allegedly hacking
American companies for trade
secrets. (AFP)

MAASAI MARA UNIVERSITY
TRIBUTE TO THE LATE PROF. JONATHAN OLE KAREI
The Lecture Complex Theatre at Maasai Mara University, one of the many initiatives of Prof. Ole Karei
We shall remember the late Prof Ole Karei for spearheading the formation of the taskforce on education in 2006 whose main objective was to improve
academic performance at all levels in Narok County. This became a reality when the then Narok TTC was upgraded to a Campus of Moi University in
2007. Before long the late professor rallied leaders and called for meeting with the former head of state to request for the elevation of the status of the
campus to a constituent college of Moi university. Consequently, the Kenya government elevated the campus to a university college in 2008, with the late
professor as the founding Chairman of the governing Council.
As Chairman of the governing council of Narok University College, the late Prof. Ole Karei had a clear dream and vision of what he wanted for the institution
and the education standard in Narok County. He wanted the then Narok University College to be fully fledged before the end of the life of the council. With
his resilience, he wasted no time in ensuring that this dream and vision came through by February 2013 when the university was awarded the charter by
the former president H.E. Mwai Kibaki.
The establishment of a University in Narok County has transformed the community in many ways. It has increased access to higher education to both
the young and the old locally, nationally and internationally. Graduates from the University have gotten opportunity to work in the county governments,
national government, private and international organizations. His vision for Education in the county has spurred economic growth. Very soon, Maasai Mara
University is going to be a hub of climate change in Africa, an initiative of the Organization of Social Science and Research in Africa (OSSREA).
The establishment of Maasai Mara University has spurred the economic and social growth in Narok County. People from the region and beyond are
beginning to feel the benefit of social cohesion. As they integrate they are able to learn from one another. We owe this to the late Prof. Karei who had
the ability to embrace diversity.
Other than from his role as founding Chairman of Narok University governing Council, the late Professor also contributed immensely to national growth and
development. He served in many capacities such as Chief Academic Officer of Moi University; Chairman of Ewaso Ngiro South Development Authority;
Chairman Board of Directors, Kenya Literature Bureau and Chancellor Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology.
The late Prof. Karei will be remembered for being selfless, receptive and responsive to people of all cadre in the society. The Maasai Mara University
fraternity pays a special tribute to the late Prof. Ole Karei.
There will be a fundraising to defray funeral expenses at Charter Hall Nairobi on 30th July 2014 at 5.30 PM. presided over by His Excellency
Deputy President Hon. William Ruto assisted by Nairobi County Governor H.E. Dr. Evans Kidero, Narok Governor H.E. Samuel Ole Tunai,
Nairobi County Assembly Hon. Alex Ole Magelo and the former Speaker of the National Assembly Hon. Francis Ole Kaparo. Contributions may

to aid preparations for Dala Sevens.
Safaricom deposited following talks
with former KRU chief executive ofcer Jack Okoth and Paul Okongo,
who introduced himself as club secretary during a meeting.
Kisumu RFCs ocials have, in
their court papers, accused Okongo,
Okoth and the KRU of conspiring

sponsorship of the tournament.
KRU secretary Eddie Omondi said
yesterday that the union will le a response in the High Court in Kisumu,

Okongo and Okoth, who is a

Safaricom and managed to get the
funds deposited to the account. The
account was frozen because KRU

does not recognise the two as ofcials, said Omondi. Contacted,

Recovered Serena out to defend US Open title
Time running out for Westwood
Serena Williams will be t to defend her US Open title after recovering from
the virus which ended her Wimbledon.
The world number one, 32, was forced to pull out of her doubles match with
sister Venus earlier this month after struggling to serve. But she makes her
return at the Bank of the West Classic at Stanford University on Wednesday
and will be ready for the US Open when it starts on 25 August. She said: I
feel very good. I feel very happy to be here, so its good.
Lee Westwood needs a rapid return to form to stand

any chance of retaining his place in Europes Ryder Cup
team. The English is among several big names for whom
this weeks World Golf Championships in Ohio and the
US PGA, which starts on Thursday next week, are crucial
to their hopes of appearing at golfs biggest showdown
at Gleneagles in September.
His performances have seen his

team mates tip him for titles at the
Olympiad and even an upset over
the Grand Masters.
However, the 27-year-old Kamau
has played down his chances of
toppling the big boys promising to
learn from his debut appearance
at the event.
I want to learn as much as possible, meet the best players in the
world and hopefully, do my best
for my country, Kamau told the
Daily Nation Sport.
The businessman who has been
playing for under two years now,
believes there is a lot of talent in
Kenya but lack of resources has
hampered its development.
Winnie Thitu learnt chess
while at the Daadab refugee

The fact we have a young team and

about Liverpool and told me its the

Gor Mahia release squad for Kagame Cup

Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia have released a strong
19-man squad ahead of the Cecafa
Kagame Cup that kicks o in nine
days in Kigali.
KOgalo will be making a return
to the regional championship after
a 19-year absence. Their last appearance was in 1996.
Chelsea could
be forced to
sell Petr Cech in
order to fall in
line with homegrown quotas
for the Premier
League and
Champions League.
The return of Stamford Bridge icon
Didier Drogba means the Blues
have one too many foreign players to meet guidelines. Manager
Jose Mourinho has been touting
Fernando Torres and John Obi Mikel
around to other clubs, but if there
are no takers Cech may be the one
to depart. Clubs are only allowed 17
foreign players over the age of 21.
Manchester Uniteds lingering

hopes of signing
Arturo Vidal have
been crushed
after his manager
insisted the Chile
forward will remain
in Italy. New Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri revealed he has held
talks with the 27-year-old and that
he has committed his future to the
Serie A club.
United had been pursuing Vidal
all summer but will now turn their
attentions elsewhere, with Romas
Dutch midelder Kevin Strootman
on their radar. Allegri said: Vidal will

Sundays qualifiers do
not fall on Fifa calendar
and clubs are therefore
not obligated to release
players.
However, Kenyan football
authorities said they will petition
the continental football body Caf to
request for the release of the foreignbased legion.
Stars fell 0-1 in the rst leg in Maseru and must beat the Crocodiles
by a 2-0 margin to advance to the
group stages.
Striker Oliech, custodian Origi,
Timbe and Omollo all missed the
Maseru defeat and their presence
is a big boost for the team.
Timbe scored Kenyas goal in
Moroni that secured Stars a ticket
to round two of the preliminary
qualiers after a 2-1 aggregate
win while Omollo notched in a
thunderous goal in the rst leg
duel against the same opposition
in Nairobi.
On the other hand, Oliechs
future at the team is still marred
with uncertainty after he fell
out with banned Algerian
born Belgian coach Adel
Amrouche over indiscipline.
Oliech
has not featured for the team in recent
matches but James Nandwa who
is in charge of the team consider the
player again. Amrouche was banned
for 12 matches by Caf for spitting on a
reserve referee in Moroni during Stars

it has to do with the latters generous contributions

t is a Sunday afternoon and

I am attending mass at St
Marys Catholic Church in
Ongata Rongai. The church
is packed. Those who could not
make it inside are standing outside,
peeping through the windows,
or sitting by the staircase,
following the proceedings on
loudspeakers.
It is not your typical Sunday at
this church. A quick glance at the
parking lot explains the sudden
surge in attendance.
The hot afternoon sunlight
bounces o the shiny surfaces of
fuel guzzlers bearing government
number plates. Deputy President
William Ruto and his wife are
here.
After the main service, the
priest asks the congregation
not to leave because the special
guest has something to say. But
he might as well have saved his
breath because no one wants
to leave, not when the Deputy
President is around.
Mr Ruto walks to the pulpit,
greets the congregation and is
soon telling them that the Jubilee
government will not be derailed
by the then impending Saba
Saba rally.
About 400 kilometres
away, President Uhuru
Kenyatta is telling members
of AIC Baraka Church in
Trans Nzoia County that
the government will not
spend time politicking with
the Opposition as if it were
campaign season. He asks those
questioning his presidency to
wait until the next election.
It seems as if there is an
unwritten rule in Kenya and
in many African countries
that whenever a politician
or government ocial visits a
church, he or she must be given
VIP treatment. He/she gets the
senior pastors parking lot, a VIP
seat in the front pew, and after
the service, a chance to address
the congregation. In fact, it is
considered odd for a politician
to attend a church service and
leave without addressing the
congregation.
So the leaders come prepared
to speak in churches, and even
at funerals. They carry prepared
speeches and their
public
relations
ocers send press
invites to media
houses in advance.

a purely spontaneous
invitation by the pastor

Recently, columnist
Rasnah Warah questioned
this trend:
In Kenya, the vilest, most
corrupt politicians are allowed
to stand in houses of worship
and preach to congregations. In
our highly unequal country, not
all believers are equal in the eyes
of God. Politicians have a special
place in our churches, mosques
and temples, she wrote.
But the question that arises,
and often remains unanswered,
is, how did we get here?
When did houses of prayer
become political playgrounds?
Indeed, it is remarkable that
churches, which do not allow
ordinary members to address
congregations, have no qualms
about letting politicians use the
same sacred space to criticise
their rivals?
We will not find the
explanation by looking at
politicians, Barrack Muluka,
a political analyst, says. It is

leader is supposed to be equal to the

mwananchi, the one place where the
leader is supposed to bow, we nd
church leaders instead bowing to
the politician? asks Muluka.
Perhaps the financial gains
might explain this temporary
abandonment of church tradition.
Yet this doesnt seem a sucient
reason, especially in churches where
money is not a major challenge.
Pastor Mwangi Muchiri of
Mamlaka Hill Chapel says what
we are seeing is a phenomenon
embedded in who we are as human
beings. The culture of hero-worship
might be especially visible in Africa,
but it is a universal problem.
It is rather strange how easily
we submit to the symbols of power
in our society. The fact that church
leaders, and I am speaking as one
of them, would be awestruck by
a politician visiting his church
is merely incidental. It happens
everywhere, in our homes, at our
oces, on the streets. Hero worship
is in our blood as Kenyans, he
argues.
Pastor Mwangi directs me to
a verse in the Bible showing that
this problem is not unique to the
church in Kenya, or Africa. It is not
even unique to the 21st Century
church.
Suppose a man comes into your
meeting wearing a gold ring and
ne clothes, and a poor man in
lthy old clothes also comes
in, says Apostle James in
the New Testament, If you
show special attention to the
man wearing fine clothes and
say, Heres a good seat for you,

any opportunity to vent, no matter
how sacred the platform.
Mr Muluka insists that if we must
look at politicians for an answer,
then we are more likely to nd an
explanation in their pockets.
It started during the Nyayo era,
he oers. Church leaders opened
their doors to political leaders
because they always came with
tokens. Whenever former president
Daniel arap Moi visited a church,
he would give a sizeable amount of
money to the church.
These oerings were described
as a donation for the stalled
church project or for the

furtherance of the Gospel.
During the service at
St Marys Church, the DP
presented Sh200,000 in cash
to the priest. The applause that
followed literally shook the building.
He explained that the money was
for a church project or something
to that eect. I cant remember
the details.
The practice cuts across
denominations. From the most
liberal churches to the most
conservative, the shift in the leaders
behaviour before a VIP is the same.
The usually ery and no-nonsense
pastor will become as meek as a
mouse in the presence of a Member
of Parliament. He will give up his
seat, Bible, and even bottle of water,
to please the politician.

but say to the poor man, You stand

there or Sit on the oor by my feet,
have you not discriminated among
yourselves and become judges with
evil thoughts?
It is in the light of these and
similar biblical teachings that
some African church leaders
strongly oppose politicians who
want to desecrate the pulpit. But
their protests often go unheard
and their lament is overshadowed
by colleagues all too eager to have
the politicians gracing their
pulpits. For most religious leaders,
though, this opposition seems to be
in principle rather than practice.
Earlier this year, Nigerian Catholic
Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius
Kaigama, told politicians to take
their war of words to the villages,
not the churches. He said politicians
in the country had converted pulpits
into battlegrounds for ring their
oratory bullets while the average
villager was drowning in poverty.
All we want are politicians who
are ready to serve Nigeria. The
people have suered enough. The
politicians who get into power
concentrate their whole energy on
helping themselves, he said.
In his rage, he revealed a possible
explanation for the connection
between the pulpit and politics.
The
primary
means
of
communication from the pulpit is
the spoken word, and that is the
domain in which politics thrives
best. A reverently attentive crowd, a
microphone and an elevated podium
is every politicians dream, as Mr
Muluka pointed out earlier on.
Political leaders thirst for power
more than anything else (plus of
course, the money that comes
with it), and the church provides a
perfect venue for leveraging both.
First, the atmosphere of reverence
that comes from being in a house
of worship means that people are
much more likely to be persuaded.
Many people cannot imagine anyone
lying in church. Politicians know
this and use it to their advantage.
Politicians also seem to have this
ability to transcend denominational
restrictions. In a month, you will
see the same leader caressing the
rosary the rst Sunday, speaking
in tongues the next, and singing
hymns on the third. Some even
convert from Christianity to Islam
and back within a week.
And isnt that what makes a good
politician the ability to adjust
and t into dierent contexts and
situations and use them to their
advantage?
Graveside politics: Are we seeing the death of decorum?

BY NGARE KARIUKI
On July 12, the Saturday Nation had the headline,
Brace for tough times ahead, Uhuru told. That
was the message Opposition leaders Raila Odinga,
Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula could not
wait to give President Uhuru Kenyatta. What is
noteworthy is not the message, but the occasion
they chose to deliver it during the burial of Railas
mother-in-law.
Using the same platform, Kalonzo criticised
Migori Governor Zachary Okoth Obado for allegedly
disrespecting his Cord counterparts. Let me tell you,
Bwana governor, to your face: You should respect
other Cord leaders.
The Cord leaders made the statements despite
requests by Railas wife, Ida, that leaders shun politics
on the occasion. Ironically, Kalonzo disrespected her
wishes in pointing out Obandos supposed lack of
respect. But as has often been noted, to a politician,
a gathering is an invitation to speak, no matter the
context.
Perhaps it is this trend that made Priscilla Nyokabi,

the Nyeri Womens Representative, to post a
Facebook status update saying: When I grow up in
politics, I may learn to enjoy politicking at funerals! As
it is, I nd it such a challenge, especially where I have
no connection with the one who has passed on....
That a family is sad burying their mom, dad, bro, sis,
uncle, aunt and some politicians come around to do
their politics...
While politicians love the idea of a readily or
self-mobilised crowd, I think, as a country, we need
to have some values and sacred arenas... Of what
use is the Referendum agenda or the government
programmes to the deceased? Ama ni anayetuaga
aende akijua yanayojiri duniani? (Or is it to update the
deceased on whats happening in the world?)
As for the living, we can always nd other arenas
to share the politics of the day... We need to cut out
politics at funerals and allow our family members and
loved ones to rest in peace.
Decorum is rarely present in our politics. Any
wonder, then that many people have such a negative
attitude towards politics?
The Merriam Webster Dictionary denes politics
as the art or science concerned with guiding or
inuencing governmental policy, and a politician
as a person experienced in the art or science of
government, especially one actively engaged in
conducting the business of a government.
Our politicians seem to have lost both the art and
the science of politics.

A reversal of roles
THE CHURCH IS a symbol of
authority in society. That authority
might not be formal and enforceable
by law, but it is powerful and
eective. It is an authority that often
demands the laws of the land to
concede to its wishes.
In the United States, the church
has been the greatest opponent
of legislation requiring employers
to include contraceptives in their
employees medical cover. The church
also strongly opposes the legalisation
of homosexuality and gay marriage.
It leads the ght against abortion,
and when the state seeks to enact
laws permitting some of the things
forbidden by religion, it often has to
face the wrath of the church.
But it seems as if the state has
been eecting a reversal recently.
Some argue that this is due to the
democratisation and secularisation
of many societies in the world. There
has been a drastic shift over the
centuries.
In the Middle Ages (around 476
AD 1517AD), monarchy was the
prevailing form of government and
the kings religion was the religion of
the land. The church and the state
were not just partner organisations;
they were one. The church was the
head, while the laws of the land often
existed to ensure the dictates of the
church were enforced.
But the tables seem to have
turned today. Of course, everyone
likes to speak about the separation
of the church and the state, but
this is mere political correctness.
The shift has been more radical. The
church has been re-united with the
state, except this time, the order of
authority has been reversed. Afraid
to oend, the church panders to the
powers that be.
This is very sad indeed, says
Mr Muluka. These religious leaders
seem to forget that a congregation
is not a political gathering. The
people worshipping on Sunday come
from dierent political persuasions.
Forcing them to listen and applaud
someone they disagree with is not
only disrespectful, but an aront to
their faith.

For a rst car, go for the Mark X; it

Hello Baraza,
I have been toying with the idea of buying my
rst car for some time now, but I am confused
by the many opinions I have received from
friends. I am a great admirer of the Toyota Mark
X and Avensis. Whats your opinion and advice
on a rst-car buy between the two models,
especially for a new driver and owner?
Gilbert
BEHIND
THE
WHEEL
baraza
jm
Id say get the Avensis. It is cheaper, which is

always a good thing for a rst car. It is cheaper to
maintain, is available as an estate/station wagon
and also a lot easier to drive. But, lets hold on
to that thought for a moment as I explain what I
mean by easier to drive.
The Avensis is one of the blandest cars known
to man. It is as anonymous as anonymous gets,
and what it portrays in appearance is reected
in its driving characteristics. A front-drive
chassis shued along by a limp-wristed engine
channelling whatever lazy power it generates
through an even lazier slushmatic wimp-box
is just what a rst car owner needs.
It is very safe. Even when you are
crashing, it is still safe. In order not
to crash, just take your foot o the
accelerator. You are unlikely to lose control
of this vehicle under any circumstances. It
just isnt active enough to get to that point.
The Mark X is something else. Engine sizes
begin from 2500cc and six cylinders, which
for the past three million years, has been the
enthusiasts recipe for a sporty vehicle. Sporty
vehicles are expensive, to start with. The Mark Xs
good looks place it in the high-demand area of
the demand-supply curve, so prices wont drop
in a hurry. Add to this a rear-drive chassis and
we will end up talking about something called
oversteer. Corralling oversteer calls for some skill
in the driving department. Im not saying that
you lack these skills, but when oversteer gets the
better of you, you will crash. Crashing a Mark X is
very hard on the wallet, and as a rst-car owner
and potential petrolhead, we wouldnt want you
cursing the motor vehicle for being a harbinger
of woe and/or making you gnash your teeth and
wear sack-cloth now, would we?
You know what? Get the Mark X. It is a lot
more fun to drive, it is bigger, faster, prettier,
better specced, more imposing and a far superior
car overall.
Dear Baraza,
My employer has a 2006 petrol engine AT
Toyota Townace whose average consumption is
6.67-6.93 Km/litre. We have been fuelling full
tank and analysing it every time we fuel. The
car picks very well but sometimes feels as if you
must press the accelerator hard for it to perform
normally. This happens at any time, and not just
in the morning. We use the vehicle to carry light

weights averaging half a tonne on most days.
1. What could be the reason for the outrageous
consumption?
2. How do I x it before I propose its disposal?
GM
Hello Sir/Madam,
1. This one is very easily explained. Your words
are those of a zealous driver (...the car picks
very well..., ...sometimes feels as if you must
press...hard for it to perform normally...). I think
you have a heavy foot, and the eects of this
leaden hoof are further exacerbated by that
half-tonne payload you mention. Half a tonne
is not as lightweight as you might think. It is
the equivalent of six grown men sitting inside
the car not counting the driver. That vehicle is
very heavy, aggressively driven and is,
therefore, thirsty.
2. Simple. Get rid of whatever material
you have half a tonne of still rolling about
inside the car (even if it is six grown men) then
propose its disposal. Trust me, the economy
gures will be more to expectation then.
A front-drive chassis shued

along by a limp-wristed engine
channelling whatever lazy
power it generates through an
even lazier slushmatic wimpbox is just what a rst-car
owner needs. It is very safe.
Even when you are crashing, it
it is still safe.
Hi Baraza,
Thanks a lot for your motoring advice.
In your column of June 18, I read about
Davids Toyota Mark X problem. I have a Toyota
Noah 2004 model and it had the same problem.
Prepare for a rather long read, but heres how I
was able to get the alternator xed for Sh200.
The alternators in todays modern vehicles are
tted with some kind of magnetic alternator,
meaning the pulley and the main hub shaft are
separate, unlike what were used to.
When the batterys charge is below 10
volts or thereabouts, an extra charge is sent
to the electric magnet so that it connects the
alternators interior shaft with the pulley. And
as time goes by, this charging and discharging
process tends to wear out.
Like David, I tried to change my battery
but that didnt work. I also tried to pinpoint
what was wrong, so my specialist removed the

alternator and tested it, and it was working just
ne. But when he returned it, it refused to work,
so he went to a welder, and did a spot weld to
connect the shaft and the pulley. This time when
he put it back, it worked; and it is still working
two years later! I even sold the new battery I had
bought.
I thought it was best to share my experience.
Dierent mechanics have dierent solutions,
and Im glad mine had the least expensive
option.
Fellow petrolheads should help each other,
no?
Kimathi
Hey, thanks for the tip!
Dear Baraza,
Great job you are doing.
My question is: whats wrong with the Toyota
Platz, apart from its ugliness, of course? I have
come across some cheap ones, which even I can
aord (years 2000 to 2003). I would like to get
one as my rst car. Any particular problems you
can point out?
Andy
The problem with the Platz, apart from its
ugliness, is its lack of good looks. Some say it
is unsightly. That just about sums up its biggest
problems.
Other ...er... shortcomings are cramped interior
space, lack of power from the small engine,

beats the Avensis in every respect

dont you? The fuel economy gure you give is
about 6.3 km/litre. This might or might not be
a worrisome statistic depending on a variety of
factors, the rst one being: which Impreza model
you are driving.
If it is a WRX STi, then yes, you are right where
you would expect to be: 300hp does not come
easily, especially where fuel consumption is
concerned.
Secondly, and related to the point above, is
driving technique. If you wedge your foot against
the oorboard and refuse to relent until the
last possible moment, then dont expect mercy
from your engine. It will guzzle, more so in the
aforementioned WRX STi.
Driving environment matters too. Driving in
thick trac, involving stop-start manoeuvres
and full-bore standing starts from the lights,
then your economy will suer. If you spend most
of your time going uphill, your economy will
suer. If you drive on rough roads that demand
rst and second gear manoeuvres only, your
economy will suer.
Third is weight. How many of you were in
the car when it was doing 6.3 km/litre? Any
luggage/load?
Next is aerodynamics. Driving with the
windows open and adding things to the body
work of your car will aect wind resistance when
driving along, and this will aect consumption.
Running with the air-con at full blast also hurts
economy by as much as 10 per cent or more
(extremes of 25 per cent have been recorded).
What is the mechanical condition of your
car? Is it completely sound? If you have a Check
Engine Light then this is a prime suspect in the
poor economy.
Then again, your 6.3 km/litre gure could be a
combination of all these factors....

The Mark X is
more fun to
drive, faster,
better specced
and a more
imposing car
overall.
horrendous body roll when cornering and poor

handling because of the cheap chassis and
suspension and skinny tyres. Those skinny tyres
are sworn generators of understeer. But worse
still, they make hard braking a hit-or-miss aair.
If you get a car without ABS, you will most likely
be dead within a week, or sooner if its raining.
The tyres do not grip at all.
These are some of the reasons the car was
cheap originally, but there are further reasons
that account for its increased after-sales
cheapness. It is a hard car to love, no matter how
hard you worked for the Sh250,000 or so you
shell out for a used example.
This lack of aection occasioned by its
blob-like countenance and bottom-rung
characteristics means that it almost always nds
its way into service as a car hire vehicle (they

are abused/misused just as much and by just
as many people) or as a taxi, which is equally
mishandled.
Long story short, a cheap car to begin with
will be even cheaper on the used market for the
reasons indicated above. Get one if you really
must have a car immediately. Otherwise, shop
around for a little hatchback. Same price but
higher quality... and not as ugly.
Dear Baraza,
I have a Subaru Impreza with a very high
consumption of fuel 106kms/16.8ltrs
(Sh2000). What could be the cause(s)?
You do realise how vague your email is,
Hi Baraza,
I have been looking for a car to buy that will
give me good gas mileage, not necessarily
great, and performance as well. I am a fan of
German cars, so Ive been considering either
the Volkswagen Golf or the Audi A3. Is there a
big dierence in consumption between the Golf
FSI and the GTi?
Please advise.
Hello,
The Volkswagen Golf and the Audi A3 are
essentially the same vehicle under the skin, so it
mostly boils down to which badge you prefer.
The A3 is not as common as the Golf, so if you
want to stand out of the pack, then that is the
car to go for. It also has a slightly better interior,
though this is a purely subjective approach: I
am talking about my own preference. There are
those who might think otherwise.
The fuel economy dierence between the FSI
and the GTi depends on how they are driven.

If these two vehicles are driven as they were
intended, then the consumption gures will be
poles apart.
The FSI is built specically with fuel economy
in mind, so most of its buyers tend to be careful,
mile-counting, penny-pinching thinking people.
Fuel economy will hover around the 16km/litre
mark.
The GTi is a performance vehicle and is meant
to be driven hard. Couple this with the turbo
lurking somewhere under the hood and what
you get is roughly 6-7km/litre. Nobody buys a
GTi with fuel economy as the primary purpose.
You can see how large that disparity is.
However, this doesnt mean that a GTi cant
or wont do 16km/litre. It will, quite easily, but if
what you want is 16km/litre, then why on earth
would you buy a GTi to start with? I hope you
follow my train of thought here.
Hello Baraza,
In keeping with the current national
penchant for dialogue, I had a dialogue with
my car (old shape Harrier) and it has demanded
to be sexed up with oset tyres to replace its
current factory-installed rims.
However, a dealer warned me that installing
oset rims/tyres could have an adverse eect
on brake drums, vehicle stability and safety.
Is there any merit in this? Whats your take?
Its not that I want large osets, just rims that
protrude an inch outside the body of the ride.
Please advise.
Nick
The integrity of the brake drums (are you sure
the Toyota Harrier doesnt have disc brakes all
round?) will depend on the rim size, whether or
not the rims t over the equipment properly.
There might be an eect on vehicle handling,
seeing how the o-set rims eectively widen the
track of the car. Widening the track, especially
the front track, does things to the steering
geometry that may lead to unpredictable
steering characteristics. The severity of this
condition will depend on how much you increase
the track; in other words, how far out you push
the tyres.
An inch doesnt sound like much, but
remember, this is an inch on either side, so it is
actually TWO inches.
Another way of going about this would be
to get wider rims with a smaller dish factor (the
distance of the rim centre/mounting point from
the rim edges along the rim width, not along the
rim diameter).

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
When it comes to issues that require real
thinking, be careful of letting someone else take
control. You might have a rather lazy attitude
in this department, Aquarius, and it could be
tempting to simply let someone else do the
thinking for you.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
Theres likely to be a powerful force at work
trying to manipulate the way you think about
a certain situation, Pisces. Be conscious of the
source of your facts. It could be that someone is
giving you tainted information so youll act in a
way that is favorable to his or her plan.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
It could be that youre wavering so much about a
decision that even after you make it; you hesitate
to follow through with it. Once you make up
your mind about something, stick with it. Have

condence in your own mental process.Once
you begin to waver, it may be dicult to nd the
assurance that you need.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
Other people may try to wield their power even
when it isnt their place. This is one time when
people may try to show o their IQ by oering
random facts that dont oer anything useful to
the situation at hand but just serve to prove their
knowledge of esoteric trivia.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Once your brain gets hooked on something,
Gemini, youre likely to take it to the extreme. Be
careful of overworking yourself in a certain issue
that requires a more rational, temperate attitude.
You may get into trouble if you insist on going
o the deep end.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22

Things were going along just ne until you
suddenly ran into an unexpected snag that kept
you from where you want to be. Its as if the
hamster wheel youve been running on suddenly
jammed. Even though youre still working just as
hard, the wheel simply wont turn.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
Perhaps youre trying to work everything through
in your mind. Youll nd that there are strong
forces outside your own trying their hardest
to manipulate your thinking. It might be good
to step away from the situation and do more
processing with your heart.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
Fortunately, your reasoning has nally caught
up with your feelings. Now its time for a
reckoning. Give your brain a chance to sort things
out and bring the situation back into equilibrium.

Your rst tendency may be to overreact and have
things swing in the opposite direction.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
You may experience a transformation in your
thinking. Its bound to aect every aspect of
your life, Libra. By always questioning, you work
through dicult issues that require a constant
reshuing of viewpoints.Youll be exposed to a
new way of truth.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
It could be that this person suddenly puts a
monkey wrench in your plans. Its important to
adapt and allow for the constant changes that
are bound to come your way. Dont get so hung
up on a certain way of doing things that you
fail to see the wisdom in a new and dierent
approach.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21

Be careful not to dismiss this information without
giving it proper consideration. This knowledge
comes to you for a reason, and its possible that
its the very piece of information you need now
in order to complete the puzzle..
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
Perhaps youve been sitting on the facts while
contemplating their meaning. Its now time to
get this information out into the open. Theres
no doubt that this action is likely to make
waves, but thats OK. A key theme of the day is
transformation,

He hasnt returned from the funeral in

Bungoma, Madoa said.
So?
Dont ask me silly questions you idiot!
He ordered me to follow him up to
Wekesas house. We tiptoed to the rear of
the house, where there was a small window.
The place was silent. He whispered to me to
lift him up. I bent down and lifted him on my
shoulders and heaved him up. He reached
out and grabbed the window. He pushed it
open. He told me in an undertone, Dont go
away till Im back. I heard him drop inside
the house with a thud. I heard him pushing
things around. He must have been opening
and closing cabinets and drawers. After a
short while, he appeared in the window and
told me to stand rmly. He climbed down with
my support.
Are you done? I asked him.
Yes, of course!
Did you steal from the old man?
I saw Madoa look at me with a frown on
his face.
Dont you want to go to America? he
asked.
I was lled with fear. I had occasionally

stolen small things like food or a few shillings
from my mother, but the thought of stealing
from someone else had never crossed my
mind.
You have stolen from the poor widower,
I said.
Its no big deal.
You say its no big deal? I asked.
But we have done it together.
Who taught you all this stu?
Rock, he answered. My friend Rock
Mwamba. Weve done lots of things together.
The prospect of meeting this fellow called
Rock lled my heart with both morbid fear
and curiosity.

HAVE YOUR SAY
It is us women who feed

our mens ego
Karimi, I enjoyed reading
your article last week. That
said, many times it is us
women who feed our mens
egos. Some time back,
when something needed
xing in my house, I would
call my male friends to do
it for me, even changing a
bulb. That was until I tried
doing some these things
myself, only to realise how
easy it was to do them.

What detached a
society we are!
BY KEVIN NYAMONGO
knyamongo@ke.nationmedia.com
video posted on YouTube

last week shows a New Jersey
woman mercilessly pounding another while passers-by, impervious
and unaected, walk by, numb to
the womans unspoken appeal for
help.
Witness to the horror is the
victims two-year-old son, who is
the only one that tries to help his
mother. He tries to ght o the attacker, landing a few feeble kicks.
Get your son before I kick him
in the face too, the assailant yells
to the subdued, immobile woman.
She then spits on her victim and
walks away.
No, the bystanders were not powerless to help. They chose, instead,
to record the spectacle, which is
how the video got on social media;
that was their help. Such is the
kind of aloof, detached, society we
are; we are happy to whistle away
our conscience, content not to get
involved. It is what we have been
taught to let be. Phil Collins aptly
captures this in the lyrics of Another Day in Paradise: He walks

on, doesnt look back. He pretends

he cant hear her seems embarrassed to be there.
Interviewed later by reporters,
the victims first question was,
Why didnt anyone help me? I
think its messed up no one came
to my rescue.
Now, I do not have a child yet,
but I cannot think of anything
more horrifying than for a child
to witness his/her parent get battered, and for nobody to try and
help. More unsettling is that had
the attacker gone on, that poor
woman would probably have sustained more serious, perhaps fatal,
injuries.
Social apathy has become
commonplace because the traits
often associated with agreeable
human nature empathy and
neighbourliness, for example are
things linked with spirituality and
religion, yet globally, science has
become the new religion.
We live in, we have been told,
a connected world a global village. My idea of a village is a place
where everyone is concerned about
everybody else, where everybodys
welfare is everybodys business.
But this is not the case. It is such
a paradox that the more the world
opens up, the more enclosed it
becomes. What those bystanders
did is not an American thing; it is
universal we neglect, we overlook
and we disregard. Traditional African culture requires that we care
for others; that we feel and empathise with strangers. It is this concept that informs the philosophy
of Ubuntu commonly referred to
as human kindness. Theologian
John Mbiti sums up the philosophy

thus: I am because we are, and

because we are, therefore Im. Our
existence, he argues, is hinged on
that of others. What aects them
aects us, too.
Alas, the social fabric has become tattered, and our sense of
belonging is being watered down.
The kind of social advancement
we think we have attained has
distorted the idea of what to be
social should mean, conning us
to live in isolation and anonymity.
The explosion of information technology has not made things any
better; in fact, it seems to be working against us! Vagueness is our
standard, and reticence the baseline. If my child is fed, schooled
and clothed, nothing else matters.
Our private encounters with those
in our most immediate circles have
shut us o from the outside world.
There is something perverse
about the way we relate. At work,
we will spend our free time on
social media rather than chat
with a colleague; on the bus, we
will cringe at the touch of a fellow
passenger for all you know, s/he
could be a pickpocket.
It is a sad situation. One that,
just like it has taken us decades to
build walls around ourselves, may
take just as long to undo.
There is, of course, something
that can be done about it, but until
we realise that, the essence of what
it means to be a society is well and
truly lost on us.

Cushion your relationship from bitterness

Sometimes, the best answer to
a dicult situation is sour
few years ago, a sick friend

was advised that eating hot pepper
could help alleviate the pain that
was keeping him up at night.
However, for the pepper to work,
he would have to eat a lot of it - you
can imagine how dicult that was.
But he badly needed the remedy,
and so continued to endure the
unbearable burning, until someone
oered him a wonderful solution
he could take the pepper in capsule
form. The solution was nothing less
than a miracle. This story taught
me a few lessons regarding love
and relationships, lessons that that
I will share with you today.
Good solutions can be distressing
This to me is the most important

lesson, that sometimes, may be
even most of the time, the best
solution to a difficult situation

Allow me to get philosophical
here. I believe very much in the

power of love and the inuence it
has in our relationships. By love, I
mean all forms of itthe erotic kind,
lial love and the divine love, agape.
But for love to be real, it comes in
a package, and that package is you

side waters down our sweeter side.
As my friend found out, certain
solutions, if taken in a certain
form, are unsustainable because
they are too bitter. For example,
you may have caught your spouse
cheating on you, and though you
agreed to let the past stay there,
every time the topic comes up in a
conversation, you remind him about
the past. With time, that might
prove too bitter to swallow. There
is a solution.
Capsulate unpalatable solutions
The good news, as my friend

found out, is that bitter solutions
can also be made palatable. As
you might have guessed from the
direction this article has taken so
far, the solution I am suggesting
today is that whenever you have a
bitter solution at hand, you should
put it in a capsule to make it more
palatable. What would this mean in
practical terms?
First, you must value the
relationship enough to want to
protect it, even when you know the
solution might be a bitter one. For
example, many men dont want to
discuss the issues of supporting
their parents with their wives,
usually resulting in never-ending
conict. It might sound like a bitter
pill to swallow, but think about
eating a plateful of chili; wouldnt
you if your life depended on it?
Second, we need to look for
innovative solutions to our
challenges. For instance, having a
problem-solving day every month.
On that day, talk about and tackle
issues that are bothering you.
Finally, we need to realise that
we are the conduits through which
our spouses experience love, but we
are imperfect, just as they are. Our
personalities might be different,
our partners might have wronged
us, or we might be experiencing
one of those ominous, This is not
Correct each other with love,

sensitivity, and understanding.

Ive been through it all, yet I am still standing

Imagine being married o at 15, being
diagnosed with HIV at 16, and then going
blind for six years.
Would you survive all that?
BY REBECCA OKWANY
@beckyakinyi

atma Likuyi is only 31, but

if she gave you her story, you
would think she has lived two
lifetimes.
She has gone through a series
of misfortunes, near-tragedies
that might have driven even the
most strong-willed person to
give up on life. But this young
woman picked herself up time
and again, refusing to be cowed
to submission.
Here is her story of resilience.
When she was only 15, Fatmas
step-mother married her o to
a 36-year-old man. Her father,
who had separated from her
biological mother when she was
two, had just died. As her stepmother sent her o to her new
home, she assured her that the
benefactor she was going to
live with would pay her school
fees.
I was terried of leaving the
only home I knew to go live with
a stranger, but I consoled myself
that at least this stranger would
take me to school, she says.
When Fatma got there however, she quickly realised that
there would be no more school
for her, that her benefactor was
actually her husband!
At 15, the young and nave
Fatma had no idea how to play
wife, but her husband was a
willing teacher, who patiently
taught her wifely responsibilities such as how to cook, clean
the house and please him in
bed .
It was traumatic, is how she
describes those rst few months
of her forced marriage.
Resigned to fate, Fatma
adjusted to her new life, even
though she cringed every time
her in-laws called her Shemeji.
The pregnancy came almost
immediately after her marriage,
and when labour beckoned nine
months later, she was sure it
would kill her, painful it was.
At the last minute, doctors
decided to perform a caesarean
section, after they discovered
that her birth canal was too narrow for the baby to safely travel
through.
She would later learn that during the operation, she bleed too
much, forcing the doctors to do a
blood transfusion that saved her
life. Though Fatma had viewed
the pregnancy as an unwanted
burden, when she held her baby
boy in her arms, she temporarily forgot how much she hated
her life. Everyone, including her
husband and over-joyed in-laws,
also doted on her son.
Two weeks later however,
when she went back to hospital
I had been used to criticism,

ridicule and abuse - it was relief
coming home to a quiet house
and unconditional love from my
children.
No one knew about her HIV
status here, and she enjoyed the
anonymity, especially since there
was no stigma to deal with. A few
years later however, Fatma came
across a Community Health Workers (CHW) group, whose members also included HIV-positive
people, who conducted door-todoor awareness
campaigns
during their
free time.
I noticed
that they did
not seem burdened by their
status,
and
even
freely
talked about
it as if it was
no big deal, that
is when I realised
for a check-up, one of the doctors dropped a bombshell in

the race to save her life, they had
used unscreened blood, which
they realised much later had the
HIV-virus.
At that age, the only certain
knowledge she had about HIV
was that when you got it, you
died.
Miserable as my life was, I
did not want to die, and so I
cried my heart out, wondering
why life was so cruel to me.
She says that the doctors apologised profusely, and no, it did
not occur to her or her husband
to sue the hospital, especially
when it took charge of their
mistake, and enrolled her at a
clinic for HIV counseling and
treatment and even provided
formula milk for her son for the
next six months.
Her husband, she says, was
unusually supportive after this,
though he felt that they should
keep her status between the two
of them.
But then something devastating happened in 2000. Her
doctor prescribed for her new
anti-retroviral drugs.
The side eects were almost
immediate. To begin with, one
side of her body became paralysed, and a short while later,
she lost her sight. Completely.
Though she repeatedly sought
medical help, no doctors were
able to decipher what had
caused the blindness, never
once suspecting the medication
she was taking. As her health
deteriorated, so did her relationship with her husband, and at
one point, there were whispers
of an aair, whispers that he did
not bother to deny. What made
it even more painful was the fact
that she was pregnant with her
second child.
THIS TIME ROUND,

I HAVE CHOSEN FOR
MYSELF THE MAN I WANT
TO GET MARRIED TO. I
AM SO HAPPY.
Fatma
that I had not fully accepted my
status, that I was still imprisoned
by it.
On a whim, she disclosed her
status to them, and told them a
bit of her life story. Moved by
her experience, they oered to
support her whenever she was
unable to fend for herself and the
children.
She also joined the group,
and through their assistance,
she studied social work. After
completing her training, she was
posted to Bomu Clinic in Mombasa as a paid CHW. Her core job
is to counsel those with HIV and
teach them the importance of liv-
Loveless marriage
Our marriage had become

so intolerable, that when I gave
birth, he made me sleep in the
kitchen with my baby, she recalls.
Fatma says that were it not
for the thought of her children,
she would have gladly welcomed
death.
Imagine being in a loveless
marriage, struggling with poor
health and the stigma that follows those with HIV, looking
after a demanding young child,
and to make it worse, suddenly
losing your sight.
It is a visiting Canadian doctor
who nally solved the six-year
riddle that was her blindness.
Fatma had heard of Sabatia
Eye Hospital in Western Kenya,
a non-prot health facility, and
decided to visit, to see whether
they could at least tell her the
cause of her blindness.
I had made numerous visits
to various hospitals to have my
eyes checked, and was used to
disappointment but I still allowed myself a little bit of hope,

she narrates.
After doing various tests, the
doctor nally asked Fatma if she
was taking any other medication
besides the one prescribed for
her eyes.
She took out the ARVs she
was taking it took him just a
glance to single out the problem;
he explained that it was possible
one of the drugs, Stavudine, was
not compatible with her bodys
immune system, and could be
the cause of her blindness. He

wrote a letter and asked her to

hand it over to the clinic where
she collected her ARVs.
She was immediately taken
o the medication and put on
a new treatment. Five months
later her sight was restored.
However, her marriage did not
get any better. Feeling empowered by her restored sight, and
tired of the ill treatment she
was getting at home, Fatma
decided to seek a divorce. Her
unrepentant husband granted it
to her, and even went ahead to
move in with his mistress.
Free, she left for Mombasa,

and moved in with a step-sister, who helped to look after her
eldest son, then in Class Five.
Once she got her footing, she
rented a house and took her
two sons with her. She admits
that it was not easy, especially
since she relied on menial jobs
like washing laundry for a fee
to survive. But she welcomed
the hard work in only a way
that someone who has been
helpless for six years can. Even
more important, she was happy
and at peace.
ing healthy.
Going public about my status has been of great benet to
me I am not only enthusiastic
about life, I have a purpose and a
reason for waking up every day,
she says.
Her sons are outstanding students, so outstanding in fact, they
got a sponsor to pay for their education. Her rst born, who is now
in Form One, scored 400 marks
in last years KCPE exams, while
her second born is in Class Four,
and has always been among the
top six since he joined Class One.
Their proud mother has no
doubt that they have a bright future ahead of them.
At the beginning of last year,
Fatma was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She took it really
badly, and even stopped taking
her ARVs for a spell.
My life was finally moving
smoothly, then I learnt that I had
cancer how unlucky can one person get? I didnt think I had the
strength to handle it, so I decided
to stop ghting.
Had it not been for the encouragement of her clinical advisor,
Amina Aziz, who is also a public
health ocer in Kisauni, Fatma is
sure she would have died.
I found out about the cancer
during a free screeningthe news
depressed me. I stopped eating
and taking my ARVs - my CD4
count shot from 1200 to 600 in a
month. I was staring at death.
Thankfully, the cancer was in
the rst stage, and after treatment, she was declared cancerfree.
Love at last!
In the midst of all this, Fatma

met and fell in love with a man
who thinks that she is the most
outstanding woman in the world.
The two plan to get married
sometime this year.
This time round, I have chosen for myself the man I want to
get married to, and will go to his
home willingly I am so happy.
Unlike a few years

ago when she was
afraid to disclose her
HIV status, Fatma
uses her story to sensitise fellow Kenyans
about the importance
of getting tested.

EVEN WITH ALL THIS DRAMA, I STILL LOVE THEM
Somebody please help

me tame these boys!
LAST WEEK I STARTED Telling you about

the drama in my house. That wasnt even
the half of it. It is only in my house that I
need plates, cups, cooking pots and sieves
that come with black boxes, like the ones tted in aeroplanes. And thats because here,
I can buy a 32-piece dinner set, and within
three weeks I will have less than four pieces
remaining. Black boxes would help me nd
out what happened to them.
Nowadays, I dont even bother asking who
is responsible for broken stu. My boys are
learning from our politicians. Nobody ever
takes responsibility for any breakage. If, and
this is a big if, someone does, theyll ippantly say, It was an accident, sorry. Well,
Ill have them know that accidents dont just
happen: they are caused, not to mention
costly.
In Asuntas house, everything has planned
obsolescence written all over it. This goes
even for tough jeans trousers, which are torn
at the knees by the rst week. If it dees
my boys destruction tendencies, then it can
survive the harshest environment.
Construction guidelines
If you are a fundi, I volunteer to oer
guidelines on the best place to x, for instance, toothbrush holders, somewhere that
the likes of my sons, Joshua and Issa, will
not be able to reach, even after standing on
a stool. I say this because my boys have a
habit of squeezing toothpaste into the sink.
As if thats not enough, they try eating the
empty toothpaste tube.
Writing on the wall
With my in-house experience I advise
paint manufacturers to come up with paints
that kids cannot scrawl on. The walls at
home look like a dirty blackboard.
I bought them two writing boards, but
they prefer the walls. I am now resigned
to the fact that until my nest is completely
empty, I will never see my walls original
colour. The ceiling could have been spared
had someone not thrown watery food on it.
Sometimes I see little handprints, like someone deliberately wiped their hands on the
ceiling. Boys ...
Heavy-duty goods
I have resorted to adding sugar in our tea
while it is still in the sufuria. Reason? The

boys scoop more sugar than they need in
their tea, and when washing the cups, you
rst have to scoop out the thick layer of
sugar at the bottom. And to manufacturers of beauty products, please up your
game. Im losing money on wastage. Your
products should have sturdy caps. The rst
things my boys go for are caps. Afterwards,
its wastage galore.
They should also consider going the jua
kali way and make galvanized stainless
plates, spoons, pots and other utensils. As
for furniture, thats already covered. I bought
a table and stools that weigh tons. I think
I need the same heavy-duty material for
other household items ... and patience.
School items cannot to be left out. My
house can be used to test a schoolbags
sturdiness, and the strength of its zipper. My
kids dont unzip their bags, they tug them
open by holding the two interlocking rows
of metal and then pulling apart.
I think Im spending more on replacing
items than paying school fees. Can someone
please lead me to a school where Joshua
or Issa can go with a new pair of socks,
and return home with the pair intact? Ive
lost count of the pairs of school socks Ive
bought. Also, its only in my house where
only one sock disappears for good. Dont
ask me where it goes. Thats the stu that
whodunit plots are made of. Plus, I need a
school that will make Joshua and Issa to sing
their homework the way they sing adverts,
without missing beats or lyrics.
Speaking of singing, it is only in my house
that a pop song can be heard blasting four
blocks away, with someone in my house
joining in the singing. What beats me is,
when the house is dead silent, this same kid
will not hear me when I call him, yet he is
standing three metres away.
With all this drama though, I wouldnt
exchange my children for anything. Theres
some sanity in all this, er, madness.

changed. Before, if she was pressed in the

WIFESPEAK WITH KARIMI GATIMI
Goodbye passion, hello dramaall couples need help

THE OTHER DAY, I came across a booklet
we had been given during our premarital
counselling sessions. As I ipped through it,
I turned to a page that outlines the stages of
marriage.
The Passion stage caught my attention,
since I had made many handwritten notes
around it. Somewhere on the page too was a
love quote in my ancs handwriting, a couple
of love hearts surrounding it. Passion stage is
the time when the newness of love and union
brings immense joy. It really is natures way
of ensuring reproduction for human survival.
This stage establishes emotional intimacy and
trust, something, I would later realise, we would
desperately need as we transitioned into the
drama stage.
As I re-read the booklet, I wondered why

there was no law requiring every couple to take
marital classes after, lets say, the third year
of marriage. You know, as a rite of passage. It
would help prepare you for the next stage. For
example, during the passion stage, I thought
that him shaving at the sink, the woody scent
of his shaving cream lingering in the bathroom
hours later, was so cool and manly. But then
came drama stage, which landed on our door
step like a lost UFO, and I was losing my mind
over the tiny annoying hairs he left in the sink
after shaving.
Periodical marriage classes would be more
helpful than those mandatory premarital
sessions sanctioned by churches, which then
seemed punitive and unnecessary. Did they
not know that we were so much in love that

we would never be like those couples that
sit in stony silence in trac? We were about
10 couples in those premarital classes, but
most times, the hall was half empty, especially
when topics on conict resolution were being
handled. I remember looking at my beloved
anc then and thinking; Who needs to know
about depressing stu like ghts? I have
no recollection of what we learned, since it
seemed arduous to do those communication
exercises. We kind of ipped through the
pages with bored tolerance. But during the
sex and intimacy topic, the class was full!
There was even an extra couple that came
alongside a regular one. You should have seen
the righteous excitement as we took notes.
Finally, the church, state and society would

soon give us permission to go on and partake
of the conjugal pleasure to our ll. Yaaay! How
we all hang around after the class to discuss
our honeymoon plans. Poor sods, as soon
as we checked into that resort, for the next
three days, we blacked out in bed from the
sheer exhaustion of the wedding day and the
planning that had gone into it.
By the time we got our groove on, the
honeymoon was over, the boss was calling,
the babies had landed and marriages
immeasurable surprise - the drama stage had
landed too.

Common pregnancy discomforts

Heartburn is common.
To prevent it, avoid
large meals, eat slowly,
separate solid and liquid
meals, and sip on warm
uids
BY REBECCA MUTHONI
regnancy is a period of numerous

changes. It also comes with various
discomforts. Some may occur during
the early weeks of pregnancy, while
others will appear towards the time
of delivery. Still, some appear early in
pregnancy, and then disappear, only
to reappear later on. This is all part of
pregnancy and is very normal. Let us
look at some of them.
Nausea: This is one of the most
common symptoms that pregnant
women have. For most, it is usually the
rst sign that they are pregnant. Nausea
can be accompanied by vomiting. This
normally happens during the early stages
of pregnancy as the body tries to adjust
to higher levels of hormones. Nausea will
normally go down or disappear by the
fourth month of pregnancy. However,
in some women it can persist for longer.
It is normally extreme in the morning or
when youre hungry.
How to handle nausea
If it bothers you in the morning,

nibble on dry foods, for example dry
cereals, crackers, or biscuits. Also eat
food that is high in ber, as well as
protein, to stay full for longer.
Eat smaller portions spread
throughout the day, instead of the
traditional three meals a day. In addition,
eat slowly and chew food completely.
Avoid foods that are likely to cause
nausea, such as greasy, fried and spicy
foods.
Slowly sip on uids such as cool
fruit juice.
If nausea and vomiting become
severe, consult a doctor, since this can
cause dehydration, as well as nutrient
losses.
Constipation: This can be due to
uctuating hormones, iron and vitamin
supplements or even pressure exerted on
the rectum by the uterus.
To counter it, increase ber intake
by eating whole grains, vegetables, and
whole fruits like pears and apples.
*Drink warm uids particularly in
the morning. Take at least six to eight
glasses of water a day, as well as other
uids.
Perform light exercises and obey
your bodys need to pass waste.
If the condition persists, see a doctor,
who may recommend a laxative.
Heartburn: It is common in
pregnancy. To prevent it, avoid large
meals, eat slowly, separate solid and
liquid meals, and sip on warm

uids.
Also avoid spicy foods,
and do not lie down
immediately after you eat.
When sleeping,
ensure that your head
is elevated higher
than your feet.
Consult a doctor
on the use of
antacids.
Oedema:

that there are about 100 varieties
of this popular starch?
How to Select and Store
Do not be tempted to buy prepackaged potatoes, since you will

not be able to tell whether they are
in healthy condition. Inspect them
one-by-one for signs of decay or
damage before you buy.

coating, making the potato more

vulnerable to bacteria. In addition,
cleaned potatoes are more expensive, and since you will have to
wash them again before cooking,
you will be paying an unnecessary
additional cost!
Potatoes should not be stored
in the refrigerator, since their
starch content will turn to sugar,
giving them an undesirable taste.
In addition, do not store them
near onions, since the gases that
they each emit will cause degradation of the other. Also, do not store
them in a paper bag, since they
will develop moisture and start
rotting.
Stored properly, mature potatoes can keep up to two months.
If you buy many, inspect them
frequently to remove any that have
sprouted or shriveled, since spoiled
ones can quickly aect the others.
New potatoes, (not fully matured)
are much more perishable and will
only keep for a week.
Cooked, they will keep fresh
in the refrigerator for several days.
Potatoes do not freeze well.
Mukimo
This is a Kenyan favourite.

The main ingredient is potatoes,
mashed with maize/corn, boiled
and blended pumpkin leaves,
which lend it the rich green colour.
Enjoy it with beef

stew, liver, or
chicken stew.
Ingredients:
2kg potatoes
1/2kg green maize
1/2kg pumpkin leaves (without the stalks)
Salt
Method:
1. Boil the maize until soft and

set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in another pot,

boil the potatoes in salty water
until cooked and ready to mash.
3. In another separate pot, boil
the pumpkin leaves in salty water
for about eight minutes. Drain the
water and blend to form a green
thick paste.
4. When all the three ingredients are ready, while still hot,
put in one suitable pot and mash

evenly. Check that the salt is
enough.
5. To make your mukimo more
tasty, fry onions in a pan with
a little oil until evenly browned
(caramelised). Add to the
mukimo and mix evenly.
6. Serve hot as an accompaniment.

Got a u or cold? Stop drinking milk, and take more water

IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR when at
least one person you know is suering from pneumonia. I say pneumonia in inverted commas, because
nine times out of 10, it is not really
pneumonia.
Pneumonia has become the
catch-all term for anyone with chest
congestion, in the same way that
malaria is used to describe u-like
symptoms. Of course, Im not suggesting that these conditions dont
exist, rather, that if you really did have
either of them, they wouldnt resolve
themselves in less than 48 hours.
But back to pneumonia. Chances
are, if you are having diculty
breathing, a doctor will prescribe an
inhaler. An inhaler normally contains
two types of drugs: a decongestant
and a bronchodilator. Before I go
further, let me rst explain why these
would be needed.
When it gets cold, there appears
to be some sort of allergen in the air,
and our bodies response in such a

case is to release a substance called
histamine.
What this histamine tries to do is to
stop you from inhaling the said allergen. It does this in two ways.
First, it increases mucous production in the airways. This is designed
to trap the allergen so that it doesnt
move down to the lungs, where it
could potentially cause more damage.
The second thing that happens is
that the airways begin to constrict,
the logic being that smaller airways
allow less allergen in.
And so you end up in a situation
where your airways feel tight and full
of mucous, and o to the doctor you
go. The inhaler that the doctor gives
you can help to clear the mucous (the
decongestant) and dilate the airways
(the bronchodilator), but as most
people who I talk to tell me, they still
dont feel as good as they did before
the pneumonia struck.

This is because the medication
hasnt solved any problems, rather it
has just relieved some of the symptoms.
We cant change the weather, but
what we can do is to change the way
our bodies react to the allergens.
The rst thing, as boring as it
sounds, is to drink more water.

Theres no question that levels of histamine are higher in the body when
we are even mildly dehydrated.
The next thing is perhaps the most
important one: to stop drinking
milk. Yes really. Not only is milk the
number one mucous forming food,
but its high calcium content means
that airway-dilating magnesium is

also compromised. cannot begin to
count the number of people whose
health has improved simply from cutting out milk. This is one of the times
where it really is vital.
I would also advise you to cut out,
or at least reduce, your intake of
other key mucous forming foods:
white foods like pasta, our, potatoes and bread, bananas, eggs, and
citrus fruits.
Its no exaggeration to say that I
have seen pneumonia disappear
overnight following just these simple
suggestions.
Nutritional medicine may not always be the easy solution, but its
considerably cheaper than doctors
bills or worse, a night in hospital.

manufacturers have them spoilt

Recent media reports show that the

In the drive to design, create and

The major car makers have managed to
develop brands of consistently superior
quality that boast exclusivity and
uniqueness, are a measure of enhanced
social status and have the ability to
make a customer feel special.
Most of these brands have an
inherent ability to merit a signicant
premium price and referral from
wealthy consumers.
Vehicles identied as true luxury
models tend to allow owners to
immediately leverage visual prestige

parties (such as the new Range
Rover Sport earlier this year)
as well as gatherings for more
niche sectors of its customer
base (the RMA Ladies Day
being an example). RMA is also
highly visible and responsive
on social media, making it an
approachable and engaging
brand.
RMA has been involved
with ensuring that exposure
of the new Jaguar F-Type has
been unlike the launch of any
other vehicle in this market;
even taking it as far as Lewa
Wildlife Conservancy for the
Safaricom Lewa Marathon in
June. The good-looking vehicle
turns heads around Nairobi
regularly, as it is driven by
CEO of RMA Motors, Mr Sanjiv
Shah. Hot on the heels of the
F-Type comes the Jaguar XF
and Jaguar XJ, both of which
are medium-sized executive
vehicles, boasting groundbreaking technology such as
Extended Navigation.
The Extended Navigation
feature, which combines two
separate mapping packages
oered for the rst time as a
single, integrated solution, will
give Jaguar and Land Rover
drivers an unprecedented
trans-border
navigation
capability, allowing for safe
and ecient travel across
Africa.
For those people who are
used to the ner things in
life, time is one of the most
important commodities and
with Extended Navigation
they can use time even more
efciently by getting straight
to where they want to go,
with minimal delay, thanks to
exceptional intuitiveness and
usability, not to mention an
impressive array of features,
said Nigel Clarke, operations
director of Jaguar Land Rover,
sub-Saharan Africa.
Jaguar Land Rover subSahara Africas Extended
Navigation represents an
industry rst as a factorytted integrated system. This
is thanks to the combination
of the latest generations of
Tracks4Africa and Nokia
HERE, seamlessly integrated
via a sophisticated on-board
unit using the acclaimed iGo
primo platform that allows
for SD card software and map
updates.
Tracks4Africa
provides
access to a network of around
720,000 km of navigable
roads in Africa. This represents
90 percent of the roads
ever travelled by self-drive
tourists in Africa, cataloguing

thousands of points of interest
along the way.
For the urban environment,
the mapping software of
choice is Nokia HERE, which
gives comprehensive coverage
of over 100 cities in sub-Sahara
Africa. Users simply change
from the rural to the urban
environment at the touch of a
button on the TFT screen of
their Jaguar, with features like
lane guidance and historical
trac information (depending
on the market) enabling users
to nd their hotel or the
airport with minimal delay and
inconvenience.
Extended Navigation is now
standard on all Jaguar cars
(and Land Rover vehicles)
tted with satellite navigation
systems, with the exception of
the Land Rover Defender and
Jaguar XK.
Africa is a vast continent,
and you dont want to end up
too far off track, says Nigel
Clarke, Operations Director
of Jaguar Land Rover subSahara Africa. With Extended
Navigation the guesswork is
taken out of it whether youre in
an urban or rural environment,
adding yet another dimension
to the Jaguar brand.
Coverage extends to 22
countries,
nearly
threequarters of a million kilometres
of roads of all kinds and many
thousands of points of interest
and is growing all the time
thanks to the user-driven
interface of Tracks 4 Africa
and the proactive approach
by Nokia with HERE. With
ongoing updates and user
input, the mapping content is
alive, and easily upgraded.
In keeping with celebrating
Land Rovers iconic reputation
for exploration and safari,
RMA Motors has launched the
#myKENYAmyLANDROVER
campaign which is currently
running until the end of
September. The competition
calls on all Land Rover
Jaguar lovers to dig out old
photographs from their albums
of Land Rovers and submit
them via social media to the
RMA channels for judging. The
winner will be own to South
Africa for an all expenses paid

Biometric technology takes access

control to the next level
her password or an access phrase.
Verication time is approximately
ve seconds. As with many security
products, biometrics raises privacy
questions. What opponents of biometrics
fail to recognise, however, is that these
have been thoroughly addressed by the
security industry. Privacy safeguards are
regularly put in place to automatically
control the collection, storage and use
of biometric data according to carefully
dened standards. While criminals will
always try to nd ways to circumvent
such protections, these abuses can be
punished.
The safety provided by biometrics
and the privacy that we all value are not
mutually exclusive. Sacricing security
because of misperceptions about the
eects of biometrics on privacy would
only serve to endanger millions of people
unnecessarily.
ecurity is valued by individuals,

families and organisations the
world over. This explains why,
over and above the services provided
by security agencies, individuals and
rms go the extra mile to install access
control systems and other measures to
keep out unwanted visitors.
Access control refers to security
features that control who can access
premises or certain sections of it. It is the
method through which individuals and
organisations ensure that only authorised
personnel have access to their physical and
service installations. They can do this with
automatised, human and mixed systems.
Companies use these systems to guarantee
security within their premises.
Access control involves three basic
processes: identication, authentication and
auditing. The rst two entail recognising
the user and letting him or her in. The third
one involves storing all the information
regarding user access to check the
movements of that individual in the search
for any inconsistencies.
Additionally, access control systems are
used in time and organisational management
as they record data and produce essential
reports.
Over time, access control systems have
been improved to include biometrics or
the use of body parts for identication,
recognition and authorisation at security
points.
Biometrics is among the most advanced
and
valuable
security
technologies
available. Devices that scan facial features,
irises, ngerprints and other physical
characteristics have secured some of the
most sensitive facilities in the world for
many years and are now being used for
more routine purposes, from controlling
access at schools to verifying identities for
nancial transactions.
Biometrics includes ngerprinting, facial
recognition, iris recognition, hand scanning
and voice recognition. The science behind
biometrics is based on the fact that, for each
of these characteristics, each individual is
unique. For example, the whorls, arches,
and loops of a ngertip of one individual
are distinctive from those of the next even
related individual. Recently, some nancial
organisations have begun using ngerprint
readers for authorisation at ATMs
Biometric facial recognition analyses the
characteristics of an individuals face images
captured through a digital video camera. It
records the overall facial structure, including
distances between eyes, nose, mouth, and
jaw edges. These measurements are

stored in a database and used as a
comparison when a user stands before
the camera. Verication or identication
can be accomplished from two feet away
or more, and without requiring the user
to wait for long periods of time or do
anything more than look at the camera.

TECHNOLOGY
Cyber-crime wave makes biometrics

a must-have tool for many companies
iometric technology is an
investment every company
should acquire. With the current
security concerns, safety has become
critical to the survival of businesses.
Many organisations and individuals
are increasingly seeking information
on installations and maintenance of
the latest fully integrated electronic
solutions available to cater to their
diverse needs, with special emphasis
being on access control, to prevent
crimes from being committed in the
rst place.
Undoubtedly, criminals are always
trying to nd ways of staying ahead
of established security systems. In this
Information Age, the theatre of crime
has expanded and the tools at the
disposal of criminals have become even
more sophisticated. The paradox is that,
information technology, considered an
ally of crime busters, is double-edged
as it is also being used by thugs to gain
an edge.
Another noteworthy challenge in

todays electronic world is internet
security. While technology is helping
people to access a variety of services
(especially nancial) conveniently, it also
exposes them to risks. When a computer
connects to a network and begins
communicating with other computers,
it is essentially taking a risk. Internet
security involves the protection of a
computers Internet account and les
from intrusion of an unknown user.
Illegal access and use of personal les
is known as cyber-crime. Cyber-crime is
on the rise and it can take place anytime
and anywhere. Cyber criminals are

mostly technology-savvy people who use
a number of methods depending on their
skill-set and their goal. There are also
people who use a number of condential
information lost or intercepted, lawfully
or otherwise.
What cannot be disputed is that
a secure environment is essential
to modern-day businesses. Today,
managing the ow of information in
and out of a business 24/7 has never
been more critical, given the risks and
uncertainties inherent both locally and
internationally. How can you ensure that

Ensuring eective data protection
is a precondition for the free ow of
information. It will help the Internet
economy to ourish, transforming
traditional business models and
contributing to the modernisation
of countries and their economic and
social well-being. Internationally agreed
minimum standards must nd the right
balance between security and privacy,
ensure the necessary protection of
individuals personal data and support
the free ow of information which is
essential in todays globalised world.
Acts of crime continue to escalate
both in our society and our businesses;
hence the need for new eective and
innovative security systems is greater
than ever before. With the migration
from analog to digital, for example,
technology has certainly dened how we
shape our fast-pace society and it is said
to be mans modern tool in coping with
the intricacies of daily businesses
Today the most common form of video
surveillance is the CCTV. Other common
security devices may include security
seals, perimeter walls/fences, trackers,
security doors, locks, bells, sirens, door
contacts, motion detectors, smoke
detectors among others. However, due
to the rapid changes in the modern
world, a company will always need the
latest technologies and services to keep
criminals at bay and improve eciency.
Biometrics is becoming increasingly
common in establishments that require
high security such as State security and
nancial sectors. The increased threat to
global security by terrorists has led to
the explosive popularity of biometrics.
A number of biometric devices are
now available to capture biometric
measurements such as ngerprints,
palm, retinal scans, keystroke, voice
recognition and facial scanning. However,
the accuracy of these measurements
varies, which has a direct relevance on
the levels of security they oer. With the
need to combat the problems related to
identity theft and other security issues,
society will have to compromise between
security and personal freedoms.

Intercity only provides the best
ntercity Secure Homes Ltd. was established

in 2007 and has since developed a great
reputation as a credible and inuential
security company providing a wide range of
services.
It provides bespoke security solutions including
provision of access control systems, perimeter
securing devices such as electric fences and
intruder alarm systems, early arrival systems and
automatic gates, re alarm systems, mantrap/
metal detectors, guard and snier dog services,
security guards and much more.
In acknowledgement of the fact that a
companys performance and eectiveness
is driven by its sta pool, Intercity takes
prospective sta through rigorous vetting.
All recruits are required to present credible
references, which are thoroughly checked to
ensure they are genuine. As well as this, they
must present a valid CID Certicate of Good
Conduct and be of good health. Further, they are
tested on their literacy and communication skills
to ensure exceptional performance in all aspect
of their duties.
The companys recruitment manager explained:
We have an elaborate and specic recruitment
process that must be adhered to strictly to
ensure the safety and wellbeing of our clients.
This is our utmost priority.
After the vetting process, new guard recruits
undergo a training program that includes rst aid
training, reghting skills, self-defense and client
protection as well as eective customer service.

The rms technical installation sta is also
vetted and the individual employees qualications
veried with the relevant bodies.
Intercity therefore provides well rounded
security solutions ranging from the technical
installation of security devices, to the provision
of relevant man power in the form of security
guards and guard dogs.
Intercity has a guard dog training center in
Nairobi that is open to clients on appointment.
The quality of breeds kept there is impressive as
is the level of their training.
So what does it take to be one of the very best
in such a competitive market? According to the
Managing Director, Mr. Duncan Jackson, It all
starts with the client, he explained. At Intercity
we consider the client at each stage and this
helps us ensure we provide only the very best in
services. We believe that security should not be a
problem, rather a solution and that it is our duty
to make our clients peace of mind our discreet
concern.
With such prestigious clients as The Oce
of the Attorney General, Farmers Choice Ltd,
Egerton University and Nairobi Water Company,
and with oces in the whole East African region,
it is clear that Intercity Secure Homes Ltd has
a formula that works for the company and most
importantly, for its clients.
This focus on the client is clearly something
other companies should emulate.
CompuLynx oers solutions

for combating Identity Theft
ntil recently, ngerprint was the only reliable

biometric method of identication. Finger print
images were physically imprinted on paper and
stored away as part of an individuals personal data.
This was more a prerogative of law enforcement
agencies and governments and was used primarily for
forensic purposes.
But with identity theft having become
widespread, biometric technology is being deployed
in dierent magnitudes by various organisations
and governments. Most laptops are equipped with
ngerprint readers or facial recognition hardware
and the relevant software that enables individuals to
protect against unauthorised login to their personal
computing devices by unscrupulous persons.
Likewise, banks are also embracing biometric
technology particularly in the retail banking space
where customers can only perform transactions like
cash withdrawals by rst identifying themselves by
their biometric credentials. Insurance companies are
following suit.
At national and global levels, various governments
have already rolled out citizen ID programmes that
have made it essential for citizens and migrants to
enrol onto the national biometric database before they
are issued with a valid document, including drivers
licence, national ID, social security ID and national
health programmes. The International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) has already developed and
published the standard for e-Passports that guides
the manner in which biometric credentials of passport
holders will be captured and stored on a chip that is
embedded into the e-Passport. All important data
including ngerprint, digital photograph and other
demographic details of the passport holder is securely

stored on the e-passport chip in an encrypted format
making it dicult, if not impossible to alter.
In Kenya, CompuLynx has been a pioneer in
providing Identity Management, Loss Prevention
and Fraud Management solutions. CompuLynx
has developed these commercially viable solutions
locally, primarily for the government, NGOs, BFSI,
education and retail sectors, thereby making it
aordable for organisations to deploy fool-proof
technology at relatively lower price entry points.
Finger print technology has been deployed in various
domains and applications across East Africa, including
corporate identity, banking, university students
identication and payment systems, secure benet
disbursement programmes for NGOs, user and
customer identication for retailers. Fingerprint login
is the safest replacement to password for computer
systems. It is easy and aordable to deploy.
The use technology has already accrued huge
benets to all the clients by way of reduced nancial
losses due to identity theft.
CompuLynx is a 20-year-old company which
