Mystery of Kenyatta and Odinga joint bank account

Is drug kingpin Chinedu back?

A HISTORY OF RIVALRY
Raila Odinga: Former Prime Minister and Cord leader was barely 16 when the account was opened. But unlike his father who was more at home with communists, Raila is a darling of the West. Russia and China dont mind him.
Uhuru Kenyatta: Kenyas fourth President was a baby in 1962. He beat Raila in the March 4 poll in a contest that reignited the 1960s rivalry between their fathers. Unlike his father, hes coy with Communist China.
igerian drug lord Anthony Chinedu is suspected to have sneaked back into the country on Tuesday using a fake name. Mr Chinedu is said to have returned through Namanga on the Kenya/Tanzania border using the name of Anaeke Chimenze, another drug lord who was expelled with him last month. This prompted police to launch a manhunt for him in Nairobi where he reportedly owns houses and businesses acquired with contraband money and enjoys protection from rogue security ocers. Yesterday, a senior CID ocer,

PEV CASES | Accused want hearings moved closer home
SATURDAY NATION July 13, 2013
ICC meets over Ruto, Uhuru trial shift bids

Judges were set to rule on requests to move cases to East Africa yesterday
BY LUCAS BARASA
lbarasa@ke.nationmedia.com other portions thereof, to be determined at a later stage, in Kenya or, alternatively, in Tanzania. The recommendation could have implications on the case against Mr Kenyatta, who has also applied to have it moved to a location within or near Kenya, citing oce pressure. The recommendation on Mr Rutos case was made following a January 24 request and after obtaining observations from the parties and participants. In February, ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told the court that she had no objecBACKGROUND tion to holding the opening of the case either in Kenya or Tanzania. In June, the court said the recommendation made by Trial Chamber V(a) was only a step in the procedure. Time is running out for the accused to ght for the transfer of cases. The Rome Statute makes it extremely dicult to change location of the hearings after they begin. In May, Kenya secured an African Union resolution to petition the UN Security Council to transfer the cases to Kenya. However, there has not been any signicant development since the Addis Ababa meeting. The major challenge facing Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto is running the country while at the same time attending hearings that could take years, if a review of similar cases is anything to go by. The judges meeting comes at a time when the number of Kenyans supporting trial of the suspects at The Hague has dropped signicantly. An Ipsos Synovate survey released on Wednesday showed only 39 per cent want trials to proceed at The Hague, down from 50 per cent last year. The poll on 2,000 people interviewed between June 23 and June 30 indicated 32 per cent want the cases brought closer home, while 29 per cent want no trials at all.

Teachers top list of sta skiving work

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Sixteen per cent of all public teachers are ever absent from schools, a new survey shows. This is despite the high allowances the teachers are asking that have led to the current strike. The World Bank survey shows that a majority of the teachers were incompetent with only 35 per cent having a mastery of the curriculum they teach. The situation is worse in the health sectors where the report says 29 per cent of medical personnel were absent from hospitals at any given time. The research tested teachers ability to teach eectively and only 35 per cent of public school teachers scored at least 80 per cent on what they taught. Young female teachers, who were less experienced and on short-term contracts, scored better on the assessment. The Education and Health Services in Kenya Data for Results and Accountability report that was launched yesterday in Nairobi revealed that private school teachers, at 40 per cent, scored better on the assessment of minimum knowledge. Teachers in government institution were also 50 per cent less likely to be in class. The implication is that for every term, a child in public school receives 20 days less of teaching time, says the survey taht was done in 600 primary schools and health centres and nearly 5,000 teachers and health providers.
CC judges met yesterday to decide whether the cases facing Kenyan suspects should be transferred to East Africa. The judges held a plenary session to determine whether the cases facing President Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and Mr Joshua Sang should be partially held in The Hague, Kenya or Tanzania. The outcome of the meeting was being awaited when we went to press last evening. Kenya and the defence teams of President Kenyatta and Mr Ruto have applied for their trials slated for September 10 and November 12, respectively, to be held in the region. The three suspects are facing crimes against humanity charges stemming from 2007/08 post-election violence that claimed over 1,133 lives and displaced over 650,000. Last month, ICC Trial Chamber V(a) recommended to the ICC Presidency that it may be desirable to hold the start of Mr Rutos trial and

Life term cut to 15 years

A former police ocer who was jailed for life for shooting a man after an argument over a woman will now serve 15 years, an Appeal Court has ruled. Cleophas Musimo, who was sentenced in 2010, was found guilty of murdering Mr Anthony Amalemba, a DJ at a Migori nightclub, on October 4, 2000. Musimo, who was an AP ocer, shot Mr Amalemba in the face after they quarrelled over the DJs wife. The court reduced Musimos sentence, saying the offence would ideally be manslaughter. Separately, a man who was serving 20 years in prison for deling a 14-year-old girl is now a free man. Mr Philip Oriendo was let go by the Court of Appeal after the judges said the charge sheet was not explicit which part of his body penetrated which part of the girl.

JUSTICE | Immigration ocer charged with allowing prohibitted immigrant into the country
Police launch manhunt for Nigerian drug lord

Although the oence is bailable, I grant the police three days to conclude and order the accused remanded till Monday, Magistrate Ellena Nderitu
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 who could not be named for protocol reasons, told the Saturday Nation that the Nigerian drug kingpin had returned into the country using forged identity. However, Internal security principal secretary Mutea Iringo dismissed this, saying, Mr Chimenze was a dierent drug lord kicked out alongside Mr Chinedu and eight others last month. There is a serious manhunt for the Nigerian, who is still at large, but we will do everything to ensure that nobody jeopardises the war on drugs, Mr Iringo said. This emerged as an immigration ocer was charged with assisting Mr Chimenze to enter the country illegally. The court denied Mr Edward Kabiu Njau bail and ordered him to stay in police custody pending completion of investigation. Although the oence is bailable, in light of inconclusive investigations, I grant the police three days to conclude and order the accused remanded at the Kileleshwa Police Station till Monday, ruled Milimani senior principal magistrate Ellena Nderitu. Mr Njau faced one count of allowing a prohibited immigrant entry into Kenya. He asked the court to release him on

Other deported Nigerians are Johnson Obina, Emmanuel Peter, Paul Maison, John Peter Osinomuno, Ismail Adengule, Michael Olabaji, Paul Owasene, Adu Kolawale, Kenneth Chikenzi, Johnson Obina, Adebiyi Oluwatosini, Peter Sessie and Obira Onzama. Also kicked out were Diawara Mamady and Komani Camara (Guinea Bissau); Solomon Haulu (Ethiopia), Abubakar Toure (Ivory Coast), Mohammed Dokure (Burundi), Asif Mohammed and Mohammed Khan (Pakistan).
grounds that he was asthmatic and needed medication. Prosecutor Brigit Kanyahi said the suspect had not tabled any documents to prove his claims and that he could interfere with investigations, if released. The court heard he unlawfully allowed Mr Chimenze, a Nigerian holding passport number 02743350 into the country through the Namanga border point within Kajiado County. The oence was allegedly com-
mitted on July 9 between 3.45pm and 4.30pm. Security agents were reportedly still tracking the suspect by press time. Mr Njau was arrested at his workstation in Kajiado and driven to court. He has since been interdicted for gross misconduct. Police sources said the fugitive is suspected to be hiding in Nairobi where he has an elaborate network of accomplices he had recruited into the drug business. An ocer in the investigations said Chimenze was a security threat to ocers who had arrested him. We fear he may harm the ocers who participated in his deportation or other people, said the ocer who could not be named for security reasons. Head of CID in Nairobi Nicholas Kamwende said they were hunting for the suspect. We have laws and we must
apply them. He will be caught soon, he said. In a meeting with editors at State House Nairobi, President Kenyatta reiterated his resolve to ght drug lords, saying, nobody should intimidate ocers dispensing their duties. We will not allow drug dealers back to the country; we will not. And if you are deported, you arent supposed to come back to Kenya. We will not allow people to come and spoil the future of our children, Mr Kenyatta said. The Nigerian drug lords were deported on June 3, but the move sparked diplomatic furore between Kenya and Nigeria when the chartered plane that ew them home was detained in Lagos amid claims that Nairobi had not followed protocol.The crew and seven government ofcials were also detained. They were released after 12 days on the intervention of

President Goodluck Jonathan. In the past one month, more than 24 foreigners have been deported for alleged involvement in international crimes. Seven of them are believed to be key members of drug syndicates spanning the globe with operating bases in Kenya. The move to kick out foreigners dealing in contraband has also targeted Europeans. For instance, Russian Kurtasov Andrey, 42, was deported on June 6 by then acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Githu Muigai. Other suspected criminals are Johnson Obina, Emmanuel Peter, Paul Maison, John Peter Osinomuno, Ismail Adengule, Michael Olabaji, Paul Owasene, Adu Kolawale, Kenneth Chikenzi, Johnson Obina, Adebiyi Oluwatosini, Peter Sessie and Obira Onzama.

Uhuru unveils new media unit, assures

President disbands PPS and introduces new team with a broader mandate
BY AGGREY MUTAMBO AND PPS
amutambo@ke.nationmedia.com residentKenyattayesterday overhauled how government communicates and interacts with Kenyans by establishing the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit. He, at the same time, assured journalists of media freedom in their watchdog role as guaranteed by the Constitution. The new communications unit will replace the Presidential Press Service that was largely tasked with covering the Head of State. It will be charged with covering the President and the First Lady, research on policy, communication of government policy, digitisation of government communications and branding State events and functions. In a major departure from tradition, the new unit will be headed by a Secretary of Communications, who will double up as State House Spokesman. Mr Manoah Esipisu has been appointed the rst holder of the new oce. Mr Esipisu takes over from Mr Isaiya Kabira, who has been appointed Kenyas Ambassador to Australia.
Mr Esipisu has had a distinguished career as a journalist and diplomat and until his appointment, he was a special assistant to the president of African Development Bank. Five directors will guide the vision and implementation of the new outt. Mr Eric Ngeno, a lawyer and writer, will be the Director Speech writing and Research. Mr Edward Irungu formerly of the PPS, will head the Press department,

which will be transformed into a modern presidential newsroom. Other director are Mr Munyori Buku (External Communications and Media), Mr James Kinyua (Events and Branding) and Mr Dennis Itumbi who will be in charge of Digital, New Media and Diaspora aairs. In a meeting with the Editors Guild at State House Nairobi, President Kenyatta said his government would consider the media as a partner in helping deliver its campaign manifesto. We are not interested in government control and propaganda. Our commitment is to better ensure how the media can more eectively support our democracy, he said. What we want is openness and transparency that oers benets to Kenyans. The editors were at State House to exchange views with Mr Kenyatta on how the government and the media should interact. And while the President said the relationship would not be adversarial, editors already had a bone to pick over the contents of Media Bill 2013. The news managers said the removal of Media Council of Kenya Complaints Commission, granting powers to Information

President lays blame for school disruptions on Knuts doorstep

President Kenyatta yesterday accused Knut of failing to look at the wider picture in its demands for higher pay. Speaking to the Editors Guild at State House, Nairobi, the President blamed Knut for the continued interruption of school activities, saying, the union has refused to negotiate despite numerous pleas. It is very well known that we as a government have been in constant communication with teachers. I made a public appeal that I was ready to sit down and negotiate with teachers. They went out on strike, Mr Kenyatta said. Responding to questions from the editors, the President accused Knut of setting a bad example by refusing to obey a court order issued last week cancelling the strike.

Kenyatta defends laptop project

President Kenyatta yesterday insisted the laptop project would not be scrapped and the funds diverted to pay teachers. Mr Kenyatta said the project is dear to the government because it would impart skills to the future generation as well as benet communities adjacent to schools.
the court rules, citizens do not have to obey. That is not acceptable in a civilised democracy, he said. The teachers, who have been on strike for three weeks, have been demanding allowances related to an agreement signed during Daniel Mois presidency in 1997. Knut says the government owes its members Sh47 billion. The teachers are also demanding hiring of more sta and promotion of those that have stagnated in one category for years. On Wednesday, Knuts rival union, Kuppet, agreed to go
back to work after signing a Sh16.2 billion deal with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). The Kuppet deal that aects all public school teachers in the country will see the salary of the lowest paid teacher, who takes home a basic salary of Sh19,032, increase by Sh4,000 in commuter allowances, which went up from the current Sh1,000.
Deal is inferior
Knut chairman Wilson Sossion has described the deal as inferior and accused the TSC of breaching its recognition agreement and allowing Kuppet to negotiate terms and conditions of service for its members. Yesterday, Mr Kenyatta reiterated that the countrys wage bill was becoming a serious issue to warrant any more pay increases for teachers. I am willing to have an open debate on this issue with all unions so that we are able to look at a wage bill that is sustainable. Your house allowance is already harmonised with civil servants. If we were to give you that house allowance (you are demanding) what do we do with rest of the civil service? he asked.

I miss my friends and social life, laments Jubilee leader

Busy schedule and security ocers in the shadows have changed the Head of States routine
BY NATION REPORTER
To become President is to become powerful. But a presidency may not be completely enjoyable as President Uhuru Kenyatta admitted yesterday. In an interview with Citizen TV, Mr Kenyatta said he misses the social life he had before he came to power three months ago. The busy schedule, the guards and the trailing by security agents wherever he goes have cut him o his friends. That (social life) is something I am missing. It is not the same as it used to be a few months ago. That, I denitely miss. I miss out on my social life. I miss out when we go to the public gatherings, being able to mingle and mix with people. You know, sometimes you see friends, but by the time you want to extend your hand to them, you are restrained. But the President defended his security guards for sticking to their job even as it restrains him. They are not doing it to hurt me or stop me so it would be wrong for me not to listen to their advice. I still have my friends, I still want to maintain my friends, but at the same time, I am President and I have to just know how to balance the two. Mr Kenyatta currently uses State House only as an ofce and stays at his home, which, incidentally, is a stones throw away from State House in Nairobi. We are developing an environment that is a lot more open and relaxed so Im not going to say there has been much change. Its pretty much the same, my kids are going to the same schools and still living at home and get visited by their friends, he told the station at State House after hosting the Editors Guild. Uhuru, who was born just two years before independence, was raised at State House when his father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, was President. And there is a rumour that he broke a window when playing sticks at home. Yesterday, he promised to x the window his father and two other former presidents, Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki, failed to repair. I will x it before the next occupant comes in, he joked. Nobody knows whether the window is gurative or real. The President and his deputy William Ruto assured editors of continued media freedom and ease of accessing to information from his government. In their first 90 days in office, Mr Kenyatta argued he had already delivered on some of the pledges he made during the campaigns. As far as Im concerned, I know we have done very well. We have had to go through a very long and arduous process as mandated by our Constitution to put a government in place that took us a little of time. But we have managed to put in place a government that is inclusive and made of experts, who, we believe, will deliver. We have also established the free maternal healthcare, another key promise to Kenyans. His government has also promised laptops for class one pupils next year.
The rule of law

There is a clear court order, come to the table; we as the government are willing to sit down and look at your issues but within the framework of the rule of law. Because if we are not able to do that, what does that therefore mean? It means that regardless of whatever

TENDER SAGA | Detectives probe claims that voter identication kits did not meet required specications
Warring IEBC bosses questioned over polls

Police reveal that chairman and CEO have implicated each other over failure of systems
BY BERNARD NAMUNANE AND ISAAC ONGIRI
iongiri@ke.nationmedia.com etectives are questioning the top chiefs at the electoral commission over the mismanagement of the March 4 elections. Sources close to the investigation by the anti-corruption commission said the chairman, chief executive and his two deputies had implicated one another in the failure of the electronic tallying and transmission after the elections. A senior detective from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) told the Saturday Nation yesterday that the system failure was caused by internal ghts over tenders, lack of coordination among departments and negligence. IEBC chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan and chief executive ocer James Oswago were bnamunane@ke.nationmedia.com which would have given us an opportunity to address issues if at all they were there, an IEBC ocial said. There are claims that South African rm Face Technologies that was awarded the tender to supply the Evids could have sourced them from China without the required specications. Sources at the IEBC and the EACC revealed that unlike the BVR kits where the commissions team flew to France to assess the equipment before they were airlifted to Kenya, no ocial went to China to check on the voter identications kits. The investigations have also found commissioners and senior managers were ghting over tenders, leading to contracts being awarded on the basis of cronyism and not ability. Sta morale is said to have hit rock bottom with multiple centres of power or employees ignoring the chain of command. For instance, ocials who are supposed to report to Mr Oswago report elsewhere while those under the chairman also report elsewhere.

grilled this week over their role in the acquisition and collapse of the results transmission system (RTS) and the electronic voter identification devices (Evids). Yes, I have appeared before the investigators at the commission, but I will not talk much about that, Mr Oswago said in an interview on Monday. Mr Hassan refused to comment, but sources said detectives swooped on his ofce on Thursday.

The ocers are alleged to have blamed each other for the systems failure at the commission. While Mr Hassan heads the commission, Mr Oswago leads the secretariat and has executive powers. Also grilled are the seven departmental

A senior manager at the IEBC, who cannot be named for fear of reprisals, said that most commissioners and directors were deliberately staying away from oce to avoid the detectives. Come to the oce any time and you will see it for yourself. Most of the top shots are either on sick leave or in a meeting outside, she said. Five senior officers have reportedly resigned since April. The investigators, the Saturday Nation learnt, had interviewed most of the sta at head oce and taken away les on the purchase of election materials, electronic systems

and internal memos. The Sh107 million solar lamp tender whose procurement was reported and arbitrated on by the Public Procurement Oversight Authority after complaints were raised, is also being investigated. This comes amid reports that the IEBC was divided down the middle with operations grinding to a halt. For instance, it could not discipline ocers implicated in election malpractice for political reasons. A proposed internal evaluation into the poll crisis has stalled due to the inghting. We have serious problems... We cannot even move forward with the evaluations
Fights over tenders
AG, Authority clash IEBC returns over counties roles results to

A row is simmering between the Attorney-General and that Transition Authority chairman over delay in gazettement of transfer of roles to counties. In a press release signed by the Attorney-Generals Public Communications boss, Mr Mulei Muia, the AG denied media reports attributed to TA chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi (belows) alleging that he had failed to approve the gazette notice formalising roles of counties. Mr Muia said the Authority forwarded a draft gazette notice for scrutiny and immediate transfer of the remaining devolved functions to counties. In the same gazette notice, the Authority noted that counties were yet to develop integrated development plans as required by law as well as spatial and sector plans. The Authority had also noted that the counties did not meet the criteria for transfer of functions as contained in section 24 of the Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012. Mr Muia added that the AGs oce replied the Authority setting out the procedure for the transfer of functions to counties in accordance with the law. In addition, we requested the Authoritys written confirmation as to which of the 47 Counties meet the criteria for the transfer of functions, in order to prepare the required notice. However, Mr Muia complains that the AGs oce is yet to receive the Authoritys feedback on the same. Therefore, the AGs ofce is in no way delaying the transfer of the roles from the National Government to the counties nor has it refused to approve the gazettement to make the transfer of these roles formalised, Mr Muia added.

BY NATION TEAM
The electoral commission has sent the March 4 poll results sheets back to the returning ocers for verication before it can publish the nal data. Chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan told the Saturday Nation that this was part of the process as stipulated by the Constitution. We have sent them to the 337 returning ocers so that they can conrm that what we have are their results. We want them to own the information, Mr Hassan said. Some 290 supervisors manned the process in the constituencies where they were in charge of the presidential, parliamentary and county ward representatives elections while 47 were in charge of the election of county governors, women representatives and senators. Cord leader Raila Odinga last week said the delay in gazetting the results was an indication that the IEBC was unable to reconcile the results it declared on March 9 in which he lost to Jubilees Uhuru Kenyatta. A top ocial at the IEBC revealed that the commission had encountered overwhelming challenges in reconciling the results. A lot of things are happening. The oce in charge has been delaying otherwise the results should have been out, the ocial said.

Power rm sued over Sh33m electricity bill

A businessman has sued Kenya Power for slapping him with an electricity bill of Sh33 million. Mr Rajendra Sanghani, who owns Twiga Towers in Nairobi, says the electricity company has unreasonably demanded the amount from him and threatened to disconnect power supply to the building. He wants the company stopped from disconnecting power, saying, his tenants would suer and the bill was calculated wrongly. Kenya Power is yet to respond to the suit, which was led yesterday.
he chairman of New KCC Matu Wamae has defended the companys performance and allayed fears it would be sold. On Thursday, some farmers under the auspice of North Rift Livestock Producers Organisation demanded that the company be handed over to them. They consequently formed a committee and resolved to discuss the issue with Agriculture Secretary Felix Koskei. But yesterday, Mr Wamae said such a move was bound to cause jitters especially with farmers from other parts of the country. I want to assure farmers that New KCC wont be sold o, but if it should be privatised, due process must be followed. It is a national
asset and weve been making prots, said Mr Wamae. The company, he said, was now worth billions of shillings after a successful turn-around. The new KCC was bought in 2,000 at a cost of Sh547 million. Weve turned the company around and can now make prots, the chairman said. Mr Wamae revealed that the company had made

about Sh400 million in profits before taxation in the last nancial year. He said no money had been injected by the government to the company and that they had been generating their own revenue. He added that over the years they had invested over Sh2 billion in commissioning new machinery and plants. Mr Wamae said they were in competition with Brookside which is now the leading player in the dairy sector to ensure farmers got the right value for their produce. Brookside Company recently acquired Molo Milk brand formerly owned by Buzeki Company Ltd.

There is more competition in the industry now, but we shall perform well, he said.

MPs fault planned trip to buy oce furniture in China

Speaker says decision is not prudent but cant stop House team as it has made up its mind
BY DANIEL NYASSY
dnyassy@ke.nationmedia.com embers of the National Assembly yesterday criticised a planned trip to China by a parliamentary team next month to window-shop for furniture. Tharaka MP Mithika Linturi, who is also a member of the House Business Committee, said the Speaker of the National Assembly had not tabled the issue before Parliament. He said the Parliamentary Service Commission had also not raised the matter with legislators but doubted such a trip would be sanctioned by the Speaker. The MPs made the remarks at a retreat for leaders of the National Assembly at the Serena Beach Hotel in Mombasa. Mr Linturi said such a trip was not necessary as buying furniture from China would create employment for the youth of that country when locals needed jobs desperately. I believe the Speaker knows the law and will not allow people to look for chairs in China. This would be capital ight, he said. The MP said Kenyans should stop looking to foreign countries for something they could make. If there was that need for furniture, the procedure would be to advertise and allow potential manufacturers to bid for the job, he said. However, Cord Chief Whip Gideon Mungaro said the issue was trivial and should not be treated like a matter of life and death. If MPs go for such a tour, what does it matter? We had a similar situation last year when MPs went to Israel but we later settled for Kenya Prisons furniture. What does it matter? he said. Leader of the Majority Adan Duale opposed the trip, saying it was not right to waste resources on furniture that could be made locally. Mr Duale, however, declined to dwell on the issue, saying he was not a member of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) nor privy to the issue. The issue does not affect my constituency and it is not happening within my jurisdiction. How does it concern me? he asked. Speaker Justin Muturi, who is the PSC chairman, said he could not stop the MPs from making the trip as they had already made their decision.
Cotu vows to ght o plot against NSSF
Mr Atwoli
The workers umbrella union has vowed to ght powers interfering with the management of state contributory schemes. Central Organisation of Trade Workers Union (Cotu) secretarygeneral Francis Atwoli said there were external forces interfering with the management of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). Mr Atwoli said the NSSF management had received oers from inuential people. These are 100 per cent workers and employers money. There is no government or organisations budgetary allocation to NSSF. We will resist and will go to any length to do that! said Mr Atwoli during a meeting with All China Federation of Trade Union. Mr Atwoli also warned that they would ght the Kenya Revenue Authority should it plan to collect taxes from NSSF. He noted that tax collection by KRA to the contributory scheme is against the NSSF Act and a denial of workers rights to their benets .

Stop killings, elders ask county boss

Kaya elders have asked the Kili County Government to set aside funds to start a campaign against killing of elders suspected of practising witchcraft. Coast Kaya Council of Elders spokesman Joseph Mwarandu said the resources were required to mobilise elders and the youth to come up with programmes to stop the killing of elders. The Kaya elder, who is also a senior counsel of the High Court, called on the government to allow the use of traditional ways to deal with witchcraft. The Mijikenda, he said, have their cultural and traditional means of handling cases of witchcraft and never led to the kind of killings being witnessed. At least 10 elders are being killed in Kili County every week and unless elders and youth come together, the region could lose all the elders to murderers, he said. He was speaking at the Malindi District Cultural and Resource Centre yesterday. He said cases on witchcraft should be handled by elders, not courts.
Stop ivory trade, KPA told

The government has asked managers at the Port of Mombasa to tighten security at the facility to stop illegal trade. Mombasa County Commissioner Nelson Marwa yesterday asked Kenya Ports Authority Managing Director Gichiri Ndua (right) to install scanners and other equipment, and hire personal to ght ivory trade. We want the MD to put security measures and investigative system in place to end the vice that is taking root in Kenya, said Mr Marwa. Clearing agents, port workers and managers, he said, should be investigated over their alleged links to the trade that has put the port on the spot. In the last two weeks, two consignments of ivory worth He said clearing agents must be investigated with a view of nailing people who have been driving elephants slaughter. Who are the owners (of the cargo)? We should not only arrest the handlers but go for the big sh. Will not allow our port to be used as a transit route for illegal goods, he said. The commissioners call comes days after Mr Ndua was given a sack notice unless he improves eciency at port. Transport and Infrastructure Secretary Michael Kamau on Tuesday said Mr Ndua would be sent packing unless he ghts corruption at the port. Kenya has been given six months by an international organisation to stop smuggling of ivory and other wildlife trophies.
Striking employees leaders deny charges

Six leaders of striking county workers in Mombasa were yesterday charged with being a nuisance to Governor Hassan Joho and his ministers. Interim workers union chairperson Margaret Ambasa, Ms Asha Jahazi, Ms Fatuma Dinginya, Lali Jaer, Mr Omar Bakari and Mr Juma Kombo were also accused of littering the streets of Mombasa on July 3 and 4. They allegedly created public disturbance to Mr Joho at the county hall. You were found creating disturbance to the county executive and his Excellency the County Governor without apparent reason, the charge sheet read in part. The accused denied both charges before Resident Magistrate Abraham Gachie sitting at the defunct Mombasa Municipal Council courts. Ms Ambasa later accused Mr Johos administration of seeking to divide and rule the workers by secretly paying her and a section of workers. She vowed to continue fighting for the workers until their rights are granted. I will not be silenced, she said.
over Sh40 million have been intercepted at the port. Mr Marwa asked Mr Ndua to establish the source of the illegal cargo. After every one week, ivory is being intercepted at the Mombasa port. We want to know where it comes from. If it comes from Uganda, why is it being intercepted in Kenya or is it from Voi?Mr Marwa said in Mombasa.

INVESTIGATION | They were bitter political rivals to death, but founding President of Kenya and his deputy shared more just power
Intrigues of Jomos and Jaramogis

They were bitter political rivals to death, but the freedom heroes shared more than just power
BY JOHN KAMAU
jkamau@ke.nationmedia.com.com efore they fell out, Kanu leaders Jomo Kenyatta and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga ran a joint bank account in London where money from various sources was received. Today, the only remaining evidence is a statement of a suspense account where some of the money was deposited by the likes of Bildad Kaggia, Pio Gama Pinto, Joseph Murumbi and Othigo Othieno some of the avowed socialists within Kanu. It is not indicated where the money came from but some of it was used to establish the Lumumba Institute, on a 20-acre piece of land in Kasarani, Nairobi. (The road to this former institute is still known as Lumumba Drive). On the face of it, the college was a training ground for Kanu cadres but clandestinely a plot to inltrate the party with socialists. The amount of money transferred via this account might never be known but between February and December 1962, the account had received 62,400 (about Sh8.1 million at the current exchange rates). The rst entry into the account in the Bank of India Ltd, 17 Moorgate, London EC2, was 15,000 dated February 1962 at the time when Kenyatta and Jaramogi were in London for the second

before controversy over the ownership of the institute started, Jaramogi states that the institute was made possible by aid from socialist countries. On December 12, 1964, as a new republic was born, Kenyatta and Jaramogi, who had just been appointed Vice-President, ocially opened the institute. To Kenyatta, Lumumba Institute, named after Congos Prime Minister who was assassinated by the CIA, was a dream come true for the ruling party Kanu. The party, he thought, would now have a base to train its members, activists and youth wingers. He said as much at the opening ceremony. But Jaramogi and his socialist allies had other ideas. It was a plan to take over Kanu. Initially the institute was to admit 108 students mainly Kanu leaders at the district level, but all that was left to Jaramogi. As Kenyatta and his advisers were to later realise, that was a major blunder. The building of the institute was also kept secret lest the inquisitive Governor-General Malcolm McDonald got wind of it. McDonald, previously the colonial Governor, had been retained by the British government in Kenya to oversee Kenyattas take-over of power. (He went on to become the rst British High Commissioner to Kenya.) It was this transition that would spoil the relationship between Kenyatta and Jaramogi and which gave the Lumumba Institute the initial spark. The main question that separated politics in Kenya was what to do with the land previously held by white farmers. While Jaramogi believed that land was a free entitlement, Kenyatta was for a market economy: willingbuyer, willing-seller policy that was agreed during the Lancaster Conference as part of the independence deal. During the rst Lancaster negotiations (Kenyatta was still in restriction), Kanu leader James Gichuru and Secretary-General Tom Mboya emerged as the key pillars of the party, eclipsing Jaramogi who was busy cultivating relations with the Eastern bloc. To outfox both Mboya and Gichuru, Jaramogi became one of the strongest pro-Kenyatta campaigners fervently demanding his release from restriction, a position that endeared him to Kenyatta. Clandestinely, the British made sure that he did not make it to the June 1963 Cabinet though Kenyatta had been expected to name him as a deputy prime minister. My exclusion from the Cabinet was interpreted by the people as a surrender to the British government ... a betrayal of the struggle, says Jaramogi in his autobiography. Jaramogi was assigned the
Lancaster Conference. The fact that this money was in a suspense account means that the two operated another account in the London bank, perhaps with much more money than indicated in the statement. There is little in the public domain about this account and we could not verify what happened to it after they fell out over land, socialism, and as the Kenyatta succession struggles started within Kanu. The only thing we know is that part of that cash found its way to the building of Lumumba Institute, a thorny project that saw the nal fallout between Jaramogi, Tom Mboya and to a greater extent Kenyatta. Interestingly, Jaramogi had registered the title to the property in his name although it had been built with donations from Kanu activists and friendly countries. In his book, Not Yet Uhuru, published in 1967, and written
task of building Kanu and it was during this period that the idea of Lumumba Institute was hatched. How Jaramogi managed to convince Kenyatta to approve the Lumumba Institute even today remains unanswered. But Kenyatta had lots of trust in him in the earlier years before they disagreed over the presidents push for capitalism. At the institute, Jaramogi had brought two Russian instructors Mr Alexei Zdravomyslova and Mr Andrei Bogdanov to teach principles of socialism , the Leninist art of political action. Donations to the institute had started to ow in from Eastern Europe. On March 4, 1965, Jaramogi was photographed receiving books, blankets and two cinema vans, among other items, from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, East Germany and China at the institute. It was Mboya who started the

war on the institute in Parliament after he was briefed about its activities by US Ambassador William Atwood. After killing Lumumba and installing Mobutu Sese Seko in Kinshasa, an institution in Africa in Lumumbas honour was anathema to Washington. Mboya told a stunned House that he was worried because the institute was producing two categories of politicians. There are those who wish to give the impression that the institute is the only place where true nationalists reside. There are those who wish the institute to be regarded as a den where revolution is cooked, where subversion is discussed, where communism is promoted and dished out. Both these images are wrong. In order to water down the workings of Lumumba Institute, Narok East MP Justus ole Tipis moved a motion for the Ministry of Education to take over the insti-
tute and vet the curriculum. Tipis told the House that his intention was to repair any damage which has been done as far as the management and the running of this institute since it was established before the damage has gone beyond repair. But even before the motion had been disposed of, the students at Lumumba Institute called a press conference and rubbished Tipis and his eorts. They apparently played into the hands of capitalists. Home Aairs minister Daniel arap Moi described the students statement as the worst ever to come from a Kenyan institution . He claimed that the institute was inltrated by a clique of professional instigators. When former Kadu president Ronald Ngala, then Kili South MP, demanded its closure, Jaramogis loyal lieutenant, Mr Luke Obok, reacted: If Mr Ngala is upset by the presence of some Russian teachers on the sta of the institute, as a good nationalist, he should also demand and agitate for the nationalisation of several other institutions in Kenya

which are run and controlled by Americans, the British, Germans and Israelis. Although Mboya never mentioned Jaramogi by name, he told Parliament it was bad that someone should begin to transform the institute into a place where party officials and organisers began to think they were a class above others the moment they took studies there, thus departing from the policies of Kanu, its manifesto and its leaders. The motion by Tipis was passed and Lumumba Institute was to be registered under the Ministry of Education and its syllabus vetted. The institute was shut down and the foreign teachers deported. But not before the students staged the last ght. To forestall the changes, the students and teachers, led by deputy principal Wanguhu Nganga and student leader David Munyendo, on July 16, 1965, staged a coup at the Kanu headquarters, then on Nairobis Mfangano Street, and ostensibly removed the entire Kanu leadership apart from Kenyatta and Jaramogi claiming that the party had failed to conduct a national election. They were all arrested and Attorney-General Charles Njonjo personally prosecuted the case. Njonjo told the court that the 26 men and one woman before the court were calling themselves Kanu chairmen and secretaries and that they had broken into Kanu headquarters with instructions from a mastermind. Although Njonjo did not name Jaramogi, it was obvious who he was referring to. It is time people learned there is a Constitution in Kenya to be followed and not behave like thugs and irresponsible people, said Njonjo. They were found guilty and Nganga and Munyendo were jailed for 18 months at Kamiti Maximum Security Prison, while

others got one years jail term. By the time the rst group was released, Jaramogi had already left Kanu and formed the Kenya Peoples Union. Lumumba Institute was now overgrown with grass and rotting. Jaramogi would stage yet another ght to sell it claiming it was his property. Kenyatta at first refused, but Odinga still had the title deed. Finally, after a battle that lasted several years and a detention of his close allies, Jaramogi was allowed to transfer the property. Today, it houses the Pan African University. Besides Kaggia, who was chairman of the board, others members included Pinto, Aneko, Othieno, Kungu Karumba, Fred Kubai, F. Oluande, Paul Ngei and Joseph Murumbi. Apart from Ngei and Karumba, all the others were socialist sympathisers.

Devolve we must, but not with recklessness

ne of the daunting challenges that the new administration of President Kenyatta has to grapple with is how to deliver devolution with the least disruption to government nances. Admittedly, having the counties run their nancial aairs without meddling by the national government is a politically popular thing. But without a clear and transparent public nance management system, we are headed for chaos. Counties must comply with national procurement regulations. They have to subject themselves to regular internal audit procedures and to inspection by the Kenya National Audit Oce. Under the Public Finance Management Act, there are limits to what they can spend on salaries and recurrent costs compared to what they spend on development. We must insist that public resources are only disbursed where appropriate accountability systems have been established. Under the law, the transfer of functions to the counties is supposed to be in phases. For instance, responsibility for running health centres and dispensaries is not supposed to be devolved to any county until it has proved capacity to manage the funds. Attitude and mindsets of our leaders are also a problem. Kenyans also behave as if we have suddenly become a very rich country. How else do you explain the unprecedented spate of salary demands by public sector workers, never mind that their quest for quick money has been sparked by legislators insatiable greed? For the new system to work, the national government must be given powers and responsibility to ensure budgets of institutions that enjoy nancial autonomy are in line with our targets for growth, deficit, ination, interest rates and national debt limits. Devolve we must. But not in a rush that will only create counties that will be perpetually knocking on the doors of the national government for more money.

ICC seen leaning heavily towards local trials for Kenyan suspects
The reasoning is that this would enable proceedings to be connected with the place where the alleged crimes took place
ven as local media highlighted a decline in public support in Kenya for the trials before the International Criminal Court, the court will soon make a decision on whether or not part of the trials in the two cases will be held either in Kenya or neighbouring Tanzania. The decision is the result of an application by the defence teams in the case against Deputy President William Ruto and his co-accused, Joshua Sang, for the in situ hearing of their case or alternatively a hearing through video link. To deal with the application, the trial court instructed the oce of the Registrar to conduct a feasibility study on whether this was possible. The court also invited the observations of the common counsel for victims. The decision whether to hold part of the trial in Kenya or Tanzania will be taken through a vote by all the judges of the ICC. Analysts think the court is leaning heavily towards some kind of local trials for mandate and is now winding up. The entity called a residual mechanism, set up by the UN Security Council to oversee the completion of the tasks of the ICTR, will facilitate an Arusha trial. However, when asked to do so, Tanzania failed to provide observations on whether its territory can be used for the Kenyan trials. It is thought that President Kikwete may not be keen to see a neighbouring President on trial in his country. The expectation is that only a part of the trial, perhaps the opening, will take place in East Africa. Much has changed since the application for a local hearing of the cases was made to the court. Mr Ruto became the Deputy President and the accused in the other case, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, is now President. Trials in Kenya would, therefore, happen in a country where the accused have ultimate political control. Whereas a local trial can promote justice, there is fear that the political leadership can use its position to frustrate the trials, and that risks to witnesses and victims will signicantly increase. Indeed, more than 80 per cent of the victims consulted regarding the in situ hearing expressed concern over the possibility of trials closer home and indicated a preference for The Hague. A recent open letter to the President of the ICC by a civil society organisation, Kenyan for Peace with Truth and Justice, warned that the feasibility study carried out by the registry focuses more on the logistical aspects of local hearings as opposed to the more important aspects of victims concerns, particularly the safety of victims, witnesses and aected communities. The letter predicted that if the trials are held in Kenya or Tanzania, the accused persons are likely to indirectly mobilise their supporters to the location of the hearings and create a political spectacle which will detract from the essence of the trials and generate political tensions which will in turn derail the proceedings. The letter pointed out that this is a precedent that has taken place in local judicial mechanisms whenever political elites in Kenya face legal scrutiny by the courts. Mr Ruto has since been allowed by the trial court to stay away from a large part of his trial, even though an appeal against that decision is likely. If the ICC allows local trials, it will be in keeping with the unfolding picture that, for having taken on the Kenyan cases, the ICC will never be the same again. gkegoro@gmail.com
All eyes on new track stars

rials for the World Championships in Athletics start today at the Nyayo National Stadium with big names missing. Olympic and World 800m champion David Rudisha is nursing an injury, while World 10,000m and 5,000m titles holder Vivian Cheruiyot is on maternity leave. World 10,000m silver medallist Sally Kipyego is also injured. This means we are preparing for the Moscow meet without our biggest stars. Ordinarily, this would have been a cause for concern. But we are a nation with a bottomless reservoir of talent. The absence of these big names should be seen as an opportunity for new stars to shine our national colours and pride even higher. With proper selection and motivation of the athletes who will be competing for honours tomorrow, we should come up with a team that will better the 2011 performance in the 2011 Daegu World Championships. The country bagged 17 medals seven gold, six silver and four bronze in the South Korea meeting. Kenya nished third behind USA (12-8-5) and Russia (9-4-6). We expected a bigger medal haul at the London Olympics last year, but the preparation was a shambles. Let us learn from the London debacle and prepare right from the Russian test.

IEBC was prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner in the Kethi Kilonzo case
he decision by the electoral commission to disqualify Kethi Kilonzo from contesting the Makueni Senate seat was not unexpected to discerning observers, for the IEBC was prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner. Since 2012, the IEBC has swayed to the tune of the powers that be, making decisions that benet those in power. Remember the controversy on the election date, where the IEBC went with March as the powerful wanted? Or the BVR tender and issue, where IEBC got itself into a downright mess, then announced it was not going to use BVR before reversing itself as the Executive demanded? Ultimately, the IEBC got what it wanted as the entire voting ended up being manual despite the billions spent. And guess what? No one has ever been held accountable for this waste despite the Mutunga courts halfhearted order for investigations, which was promptly ignored. Then there was the issue of the diaspora vote that the IEBC eventually abandoned after spending millions travelling the world, raising the hopes of Kenyans out there. This January, the IEBC, rightly, at rst refused to allow extension of nomination deadlines as requested by ODM prior to the massively awed nominations. But when TNA got itself into a mess over this, IEBC quickly shifted its deadlines, announced in December! The two parties chose to do their nominations just before that deadline. One of the most serious failures remains the fact that four months after the elections, we still do not have ocial results of ALL the elections. Something badly stinks here.
Team should bear the burden of showing how someone with a slip does not appear in any of the registers
Ms Kethi Kilonzo
Heck, Samuel Kivuitu was sacriced for less, and it is amazing that the IEBC continues to function as though there is nothing wrong. There is a fatigue around reforms given how little positive change has emerged within the Executive, Legislature and the Supreme Court (some High Court judges, to their credit, have internalised the demands of the Constitution). Indeed, business as usual perhaps best describes Kenya after elections that were supposed to set us on a new path. It was not surprising, thus, that rather than focus on its failures around registration, the IEBC tribunal turned the heat on Kethi to prove that she was a registered voter! It is the IEBC that registers voters and they should bear the burden of showing how someone with an acknowledgement slip does not appear in any of the multiple everincreasing registers. And is it not strange that the IEBC always seems to reveal a new secret each time it is questioned, yet it is supposed to enshrine transparency? It was the Green Book during the petitions,
and now it is an exclusive registration book for President Kibaki! On March 4, accredited observers InformAction came across ve voters who had acknowledgment slips or SMSes from IEBC, but could not nd their names in any register and did not vote. I am certain there are many more such cases and I appeal to anyone similarly aected to send the details to evidence@thepeoplesco urt.co.ke as soon as possible. What makes this messier is that Kethi was told that her options were to stand on a Jubilee ticket, or nothing! At the hearings, Kethi had to demand to be heard as the tribunal sought to limit her lawyers time. This, when the IEBC lawyer bent over backwards to agree with TNA rather than explain why the returning ocer issued a nomination certicate, and why Kethi had gotten an acknowledgement slip. The whole proceedings looked like a set-up from the get-go, with new revelations of theft of documents that surprised the chairperson. The IEBC continues to benet from its own wilful incompetence. No one knows for sure who is registered, and in what book or system. No one knows who voted where, and how there could be a gap of a million votes, more or less, between the presidential and other positions. What is clear is that the IEBC bungled the registration, verication and counting. But it is looking less about incompetence and more about mal-des. IEBCs continued mockery of the Independent in its title, will bring us more troubles than we need in the coming years. mkiai2000@yahoo.com
Uhuru, Ruto show how to rule without Skype

ith 96 hours left to mark 100 days under the Jubilee government, it is apparent that Kenya is loved by the divine powers that choose its leadership for it. Despite President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Rutos readiness to govern the country through Skype in order to attend their crimes against humanity trials at The Hague, this has not been necessary at all. Trials that were meant to start in April have miraculously failed to take o. Mr Kenyattas case, meant to start on April 11, 2013, rst moved to July 9 and now rests uneasily on November 12, 2013. Mr Rutos have similarly shifted from April 10 to May 28 and now September 10, 2013. It is all divine. Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto were the rst most powerful pair to genuect in full public view on taking their oaths of oce even before they could begin to bear the weight of government. Since then, they have jointly and severally worshipped at various churches Catholic, Pentecostal, Africanoriented and regular in Gatundu, Eldoret, Nairobi, Mombasa, Kapsabet and Nakuru beseeching that they be not forsaken in this world full of evildoers and false witnesses. In the rst 100 days in oce, President Kenyatta II has received a personal letter of congratulations from US President Barack Obama, met with UK Prime Minister David Cameron and addressed the African Union. The UK House of Commons has been very apologetic about the High Commissioners threat of consequences if the two crimes against humanity suspects took over Kenyas leadership. In fact, the British are paying the Mau Mau veterans compensation now. The United Nations, which previously forbade its ocials from meeting International Criminal Court indictees, has since revised its rules to allow hugging and group photography where there is ongoing cooperation with the ICC. Specically, Mr Ruto secured a dignied picture with UN secretary-general Ban-Ki-moon in Japan. Still, Mr Rutos detractors keep creating ctions to link him to the number 100. If they are not claiming that the jet he used on his four-nation African tour was hired for Sh100 million, they are insinuating that he wants repairs to the Deputy Presidents Sh400 million residence to cost Sh100 million. A court has also ruled that he bought 100 acres of land from a six-year-old child. It is obvious the number 100 is being used as some sort of symbol for the Deputy President, but these dark plots will not succeed. Mr Rutos industry for Kenya so impressed the judges at the ICC that they decided to excuse him from attending all the hearings for his trial in person or even via video link. There is synchrony in government, evident in the wearing of matching shirts and rolled sleeves for visual harmony. And the work has not been bad. The two leaders have undertaken trips that bring direct benets to the people of Kenya. President Kenyatta IIs hands-on style is already showing: he has directed the deportation of drug dealers, the immediate roll-out of free maternity services in public hospitals, discussions with striking teachers and the expenditure of Sh4 billion on police equipment. He has also directed the police to mop up all illegal arms in Mandera and restore security, investigation of corrupt civil servants and speedy operations at the Port of Mombasa. Similarly, Mr Kenyatta has directed that St Johns Ambulance be incorporated in the Ministry of Health and students injured in a road accident be airlifted to hospital in Nairobi. It is just a matter of time before he directs the cost of living to come down. Imagine if he had to do all this with Skype! kwamchetsi@formandcontent.co.ke

drian Muteshis determination to repossess his 100-acre farm in Turbo is both inspiring and daring. He and his family must have experienced many doubts, threats and questions during the ve-year court battle in Eldoret. Earlier in the hearing, he declined to accept an out-of-court settlement since there was no guarantee of it including compensation and court expenses. He remained focused and unyielding right up to the nal court ruling. Mr Muteshi expressed reservations about the Sh5 million compensation for the loss of harvest he incurred for ve years. The gure appears inadequate and disproportionate to his loss of income, but his decision not to contest it will mean that he can go ahead and return to his home just as soon as Mr Ruto removes his property and livestock. Mr Ruto has announced his decision to contest the judgment. Should he pursue that

line, then he will be obliged to testify since in the recently concluded case, he chose not to defend himself. Of course, the Deputy President may have been innocently misled into acquiring Mr Muteshis property. Many have lauded the court decision as a further sign of the new independence in the Judiciary, but wondered why Mr Ruto was deemed to have merely trespassed on Mr Muteshis property. It appeared more like an invasion and dispossession. Indeed it is hardly credible that the Deputy President was not aware of the circumstances in which Mr Muteshi was removed from his own shamba. Of course many further questions will now arise regarding Chapter Six of the Constitution on Integrity and Leadership and the ICC will also be keeping a close eye on events as they unfold. However, beyond this, the Muteshi case raises many questions about property owners in the Rift Valley and elsewhere who are in a similar predicament. There are hundreds of property owners who were evicted in the post-election violence of 2007-8 and whose land is occupied by others until today. Many IDPs may have been resettled elsewhere, but the desire and entitlement to return to your own home remains. Both Mr Ruto and Mr Kenyatta promised that the Jubilee coalition would reconcile the Kikuyu and Kalenjin communities. They must now prove that this goes beyond them and that reconciliation
includes returning peacefully to your own property. Some faith-based initiatives that have done exemplary work in this respect. But there are thousands of families still living as displaced and bitter persons all over the country. Despite public perception that it was mainly Kikuyu who were displaced, the truth is that many Kalenjin, Kisii and Luhyas were also evicted from Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia and Kericho counties. Mr Rutos name is severely tarnished over the Muteshi case. Yet if he were to launch genuine reconciliation in his own backyard by welcoming back displaced people, then his oence would quickly be absolved. Mr Muteshi has shown exemplary courage and determination, but it should not be necessary for each victim to resort to the court to acquire justice. gdolan54@gmail.com

IEBC failure to consistently inspire condence in elections is alarming

t is time to get real with the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission. For a start, let us be clear that there is no reason to vote in the next election if they will be managed by the current team at IEBC. The body is incompetent. Its public relations side is thoroughly wobbly. Precisely because of this, Safaricom has nally withdrawn the support services it was meant to provide to the commission. This is due to internal weaknesses within the IEBC that continue undermine its capacity to assure us it can deliver credible polls. The next general election will most certainly have a presidential incumbent. Seeing that IEBC has been unable to stamp credibility on the management of the electoral process and assure us of its independence, what reason is there to queue for hours to vote for an outcome that one can easily predict? There is a cardinal rule about elections worth repeating. The rule assumes that electioneering must be procedurally certain even as the outcome of that process must remain substantively uncertain. Election management bodies are expected to guarantee certainty in the

process and uncertainty of the outcome. They do this by minimising errors in electioneering and voting. The electoral management body can make mistakes. But such mistakes must not exceed the acceptable threshold of genuine error. In the Makueni imbroglio, you have a credible person, Ms Kethi Kilonzo, presenting a voter registration acknowledgement slip she claims is validly issued by IEBC. But somewhere, a Jubilee-aligned complainant comes in acting very sure that they know Ms Kilonzos registration status. Rather than immediately review this slip and decide whether Ms Kilonzo is a registered voter, the IEBC takes us through a wasteful charade that ends up conrming in days what Jubilee knew the moment Ms Kilonzo presented herself for nomination. On this, Jubilee is one step ahead of the commission. Then, an IEBC ocial comes in to sensationally state under cross-examination that this slip was in fact stolen from a booklet which had been used to register former President Mwai Kibaki. The ocial claims this issue is under probe. Kenyans, let us drop our petty partisanship for a minute and really just focus on this issue. Who is in charge at IEBC and who should account to us, the taxpayers? Sample this: ve slips got lost from a booklet. This was not a booklet that carries details of ordinary folk like you and me. The booklet was used to register President Kibaki who was our President until three months ago. We are then casually informed that a probe has commenced. No one asks when the slips got
lost and who is conducting the probe? But even more incredible, the IEBC chairman conrms that he is not aware of the loss. By implication, he also is not aware of the probe being conducted at the commission. His explanation is that as a commission we only get information during the commission meeting which has not happened. Again, no one asks why the meeting has not been convened given the gravity of the issue at hand. Even if the IEBC is consistent in entering a verdict on electoral disputes that favours your preference, how, in good conscience, can you still trust it to fairly handle an election? The errors above are grave. They implicitly question the IEBCs commitment to ensuring certainty of the process and uncertainty of the outcome. This compromises the electoral body and exposes how much the IEBC has gone past the threshold of acceptable error.

Why the noun ought refers to what you owe
FAIR PLAY | Peter Mwaura
Lawyers reputation at stake in Kethi case W

ill lawyers gain admittance to heaven? I dont know. But the cut and thrust witnessed this week in the legal tussle, whether Kethi Kilonzo is a registered voter and eligible to contest the Makueni by-election set for July 27, raises serious questions about ethical lawyering. While witnesses in legal proceedings are required to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, lawyers themselves seem to be free to spin facts, colour and misconstrue the meaning of facts, in violation of one of the Ten Commandments: Thou halt not lie. Biblical injunction aside, lawyers are required by their own professional ethics not to lie or engage in fraud or deception. Everywhere, the world over, lawyers are required not to be fraudulent or act in a manner that suggests dishonesty. Rule 12 of the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers, adopted by the Eighth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Oenders in 1990, states: Lawyers shall at all times maintain the honour and dignity of their profession as essential agents of the administration of justice. The duties and obligations of lawyers include maintaining at all times the good

repute of the lawyer himself or herself and that of the legal profession. Lawyers in Kenya are bound by both a statutory and non-statutory code of behaviour. As in other countries, lawyers in Kenya occupy an elevated position which carries duties and obligations. In a speech at a seminar of the Law Society of Kenya on July 30, 1998, Justice Samuel Bosire compared lawyers to the high priests of the Old Testament. They are expected to be without blemish morally and professionally, in the temple of justice. Whats happening in the Kethi case? The paper war revolves around the simple question: Did she register as voter? The IEBC Dispute Resolution Committee said she did not, that the registration
(acknowledgement) slip she produced was a subject of police investigation. It also said she produced an expired passport and photocopy of her ID that she claims she used to register, contrary to what the law requires. Further, the committee said, she claimed to have registered as a voter at Karen, which did not exist in the IEBC list of polling stations. Kethi retorted that, like any other voter, it was her job to register, which she did. It was not her job to check whether she was validly registered. That was the job of the IEBC. She moved to the High Court to quash the ruling by the committee, basically arguing that the IEBC cannot be a judge in its own case. Her supporters, including Cord mdeputy leader Kalonzo Musyoka, who is himself a lawyer, have accused TNA and IEBC of conspiring to rig her out of the Makueni by-election. TNA, on the other hand, says Keith and her supporters should be investigated for fraud. Somebody, somewhere he or she could be on either side is telling a bald-faced lie, which is not good ethical behavior in law. Reputation is the greatest asset for an advocate. gigirimwaura@yahoo.com
of it. But consider it. What else can a Shakespearean character mean when referring to a past situation he tells another character something like: You ought him a pound? The answer lies in that the modern English word ought comes from the Old English word ahte, which was the past tense form of agan, the Old English verb that evolved into owe. Today we use ought almost exclusively as an auxiliary verb. As we have often seen here, an auxiliary is a verb which helps another verb to express a grammatical mood or tense. The auxiliary verb will helps the innitive to go to express a future. I will marry you if ever I marry a woman and I will be married tomorrow. I pluck that from As You Like It, one of Shakespeares most delightful comedies. The auxiliary will helps the innitive to marry to express the fact that this is a future event. However, even when we conne it to auxiliary work, the verb ought expresses something owed. It expresses a relationship of debt, duty or obligation. Nowadays, of course, the debt in question is more metaphorical than material. Whenever a doctor says You ought to take some aspirin, he is referring to a moral or aesthetical debt: What he is saying is that You owe it to your own body to take some aspirin. Thus, though ought was once a past tense verb, it has been called upon to perform auxiliary duty in the present tense. It seems that, originally, in forming a past form, the hard d in owed began to sound like a t and the long o in owe began to drop the diphthong and to shorten into a crisp o. The written form owed thus began to sound like a guttural owt, nally emerging something like ot (the Luo word for a house). Thus given the vicissitudes of English spelling it was now just a ea-hop from the guttural owt to an ought (from which the guttural ugh had been dropped). Thus the hypothetical noun ought should refer to something you owe. The verb ought thus expresses much more than what the poet Algernon Swinburne called mystical moods and triangular tenses. It expresses at least four attitudes: (a) obligation (you ought to obey the law); (b) advisability (you ought to watch your weight); (c) probability (it ought to rain given the clouds); and (d) desire by the speaker (you ought to eat meat). Clearly, all these express an obligation, a debt. A tax is the repayment of such a debt. That is why taxes are called duties namely, precisely because you owe them to a club called Kenya. They are due to it as membership fees. philipochieng39@yahoo.com
ll intellectual products of 15th-16th-century England including Ben Jonson, Samuel Johnson, William Shakespeare and the Bible in English use the verb ought in a manner strongly suggesting that ought was once the simple past tense form of owe. Today, however, owed is the simple past form

Weighbridges should be banned from our roads
On June14, 2013, I drove to Nairobi from Nyahururu with my family. On reaching the Gilgil weighbridge at 6pm, trac came to a standstill. Little did we know that we would spend the next seven hours stuck on the spot. Hundreds of other motorists were caught up in the jam that stretched more than 10 kilometres on both sides of the weighbridge. These included public transport vehicles. There are no toilet facilities or any hotel at the station. That is why I support the National Environmental Management Authoritys current eorts to have the weighbridge and others dotting the highway removed. They are an eyesore to our country.

About time Kenyans started serious debate on gay rights
Kiambu leaders should spare us this spectacle

As a voter in Kiambu County who endured the blazing sun in the March 4 General Election, I was dismayed by the Kiambu County assembly representatives acrimony, public altercation and name-calling in their attempt to censure the county assembly speaker last week. The hullabaloo that transpired was unwarranted and repugnant. It is regrettable that while the Kiambu residents are waiting for service from their county representatives, the same leaders have chosen to engage in frivolous hairsplitting. Sadly, it was reminiscent of the violence that characterised the defunct local authorities. The dierences that exist between them and the governor should be resolved. The time to walk the talk is now. JAMES G. MUTHAMA, Thika

Blame salaries team for frequent workers strikes

It is disheartening to see our children spending their second week at home when they are expected to be in school. It seems every government we elect in Kenya is not eager to end the public servants woes. Why is the Salaries and Remuneration Commission unable to harmonise pay for all public servants? What is the use of having the SRC if public servants continue having run-ins with their employers every season over unfullled promises? These salaries should be harmonised immediately.

Police have wrong target in war on drugs and poachers

Its becoming quite common to hear of drug hauls and elephant and rhino tusks being intercepted at our airports or the port of Mombasa. This trend could be attributed to corruption within our security oces. The number of police checkpoints from our borders to the airports or the port is uncountable. Drivers are always arrested for petty oences while drug barons are left to pass. Every time we hear about a drug haul, its always the lady who is taken to jail.

Someone should make me understand the United States. How can they brand Kenya as a dangerous place to be when what is happening here is crime that can happen in any country, including the US itself?

DISCRIMINATION | Rosemary Mugwe
Taxing sanitary pads setback to gender equality

Drafters of Vat Bill proposing the levy are violating rights of girls and women
he Vat Bill recently introduced in Parliament proposes to tax, among other things, sanitary pads. I believe this is a plan to frustrate eorts towards achieving gender equality since this is a commodity only used by girls and women. Menstruation is one of those rarely discussed subjects, obviously because of the stigma surrounding it. It is not a secret that the price of a packet of sanitary pads is still out of reach for many. As a substitute, girls and women use scrap pieces of cloth which are likely to leak and cause untold embarrassment. This is a major cause of girls skipping school during their menses, according to research ndings. They miss a lot of education content annually that may gradually force them to drop out. When that is happening our boys attend school as usual and with regards to performance, the playing eld between the boys and girls is not level. I believe both boys and girls have a right to quality education which the government should full, protect and respect by removing any barriers in this case bringing sanitary pads within the reach of girls.
A woman looks at sanitary pads in a Nairobi supermarket. The price of a packet is out of reach for many and taxing them would drive more girls and women to use scraps of cloth.
It is a living reality that even the scrap cloths are washed and shared within the family. This can cause reproductive health infections. There are women who live below the poverty line and skip their duties every month during their menses, translating to loss of income. The government has promised to grow the economy and this cannot be achieved without utilising the full potential of girls and women of this nation who make up more than 50 per cent of the population. Sanitary pads are integral commodities that girls and women should have. They promote menstrual hygiene, increase self-condence and self-esteem and consequently ensure that women and girls function optimally during their menses. For this reasons, sanitary towels should not be taxed and should be made accessible and aordable nationally. Anything less is unacceptable as it is geared towards infringing on girls and womens right to health, a good education and human dignity and frustrates gender equality, which is a fundamental principle of our Constitution. Article 27 of the Constitution provides that every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal pro-

tection and equal benets. It further provides that men and women have the right to equal treatment, including the right to equal opportunities. The drafters and supporters of the VAT Bill must be made to realise that it is discriminatory to tax a commodity which is only used by women and girls. I have learnt that to get results, one needs to have certain qualities which I believe the parliamentarians must have while debating this Bill. First, they need to know how to listen to the people. By listening, they will understand issues including the eects on the poor of taxing such a commodity. The second is inclusion. They ought to engage women and girls during this debate. The third is compromise. Compromise understands that to reach durable solutions, you have to give and take. They must comprise the desire to collect tax from sanitary pads for a greater good, which is ensuring all women and girls can have access to aordable hygienic sanitary towels, hence rendering them productive. Fourth is action withdrawing the Bill from Parliament. rosemugwe@yahoo.com
Nairobi gets rid of 500 ghost workers
Nairobi County has purged 500 ghost workers from its payroll in the last three months, Governor Evans Kidero has revealed.

It is suspected retired, deceased or even non-existent sta are kept on the payroll by corrupt ocials who pocket their salaries. Dr Kidero cited the Sh53 billion debt inherited from the City Council of Nairobi and changing workers attitudes as other problems facing his administration. The county is also battling street lights vandals. He said he was, however, happy that the city is now clean and more staff have been deployed to Pumwani Maternity Hospital and ambulances provided by well-wishers.

LEADERSHIP | Ganze MP replaces former Cabinet minister Karisa Maitha as Coast political elder
Kaya elders install new kingpin

Lawmaker takes over mantle to ght for the rights of coastal people

gkikami@ke.nationmedia.com aya elders yesterday named a new a kingpin to replace former Cabinet minister Emmanuel Karisa Maitha who died nine years ago. The traditional leaders from the Mijikenda community led by the Giriama Elders chairman, Mr Katana Kaluu, installed Ganze MP Peter Shehe in an elaborate ceremony similar to that done to Mr Maitha in 2003. The installation of Mr Shehe at Kaya Godoma in Mrima wa Ndege shrine involved more than 100 priests and high-ranking women from the nine sub-tribes of Rabai, Duruma, Digo, Kauma, Kambe, Giriama, Chonyi, Jibana and Ribe. Mijikenda Council of Elders organising secretary Mwanyule Baya said the communities held consultations after the March 4 General Election before settling on Mr Shehe last month. This is the climax of a resolution reached at a Malindi meeting attended by 36 Kaya elders from all the Mijikenda communities, Mr Baya said. Since Mr Maithas death in August 2004, he said, there had been nobody to push their agenda at the national arena. Previous attempts to find Mr Maithas successor have been futile. The councils secretary-general Joseph Mwarandu said a political kingpin was crucial if the Coast was to realise meaningful development. The rite Mr Shehe has undergone has never been witnessed since 2003,

Our biggest problem at Coast has been lack of unity among leaders a trend that has frustrated our eorts to bring title deeds to our people
new coast elder Peter Shehe
Mr Mwarandu said. Mr Baya, who was the master of ceremonies at the function, said part of the rites that started on Wednesday night was cleansing of the MP in a ceremony presided over by a council of nine priests called Gohu. The Gohu later handed him to a council of nine priestesses who anointed Shehe with oil amid a special ghost exorcising dance aimed at making him a courageous politician. Mr Shehe was handed over to Vaya, the traditional Mijikenda governing council at 4am after taking a meal of ugali and stew symbolising his preparedness to face challenges in leading the community. The Vaya comprising 37 elders
took him to the altar deep down in the shrine for a consultative and instruction session that lasted eight hours, Mr Baya said. After the function, Mr Shehe said he would pursue the issue of landlessness in the region with other lawmaker to ensure that residents have stable land tenure. Our biggest problem in Coast has been lack of unity among leaders a trend that has frustrated our eorts to bring title deeds to our people, Mr Shehe said. The MP said Bills targeting repossession of irregularly allocated and grabbed land should be prepared and tabled in Parliament with the support of over 30 MPs from the region.

His social life has also suered as he can no longer dance the way he used to. Even if I were to go to my usual hang-outs, I am not as free as before and I dance only as an MP and not an ordinary person like I used to. The hectic life of an ambitious MP has also forced Mr Gatobu to push to December his marriage with his longtime ance Caroline Nkirote, who resigned her cleaning job last September to help with the campaigns. She is now a student at the University of Nairobi. Mr Gatobus entrance into the House has not been rosy. I was a bit nervous at rst. It was intimidating to be with some of the most experienced members of the past Parliaments, said Mr Gatobu, who is also the chairman of Mount Kenya East Parliamentary group, an association bringing together MPs, Women Representatives and Senators from Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties. His small frame has not helped matters as he was nearly kicked out of the County Commissioners ofce in Meru in his early days in Parliament. You see, I was on a familiarisation tour of the constituency in late March, and I love wearing vitenge (multi-coloured robes). So the Commissioner wondered who this audacious young man condently getting into his oce was. Well, he later apologised, he said, chuckling. But the real import of his new status came early this month when he came faceto-face with his former deputy vice-chancellor in Academic Aairs at the University Prof Jacob Kaimenyi. This time round, the shoe was on the other foot and it was Prof Kameinyi who was seeking the job of Education Cabinet secretary. Mr Gatobu is a member of the powerful Committee on Appointments that is involved with vetting. It is one of those things you never think it will happen.

Audacious man
Overview Gross turnover increased by 4% during the six months to 30 June 2013. This increase reflects a 7% growth in domestic and export volumes over the prior period as well as the impact of improved mix and pricing on domestic sales. These increases compensated for lower cut rag (semi-processed leaf) exports over the period. Net Revenue remained stable at Shs 9 billion reflecting the higher turnover offset by higher Excise and VAT. Contribution to Government revenues in the form of Excise Duty, VAT and Corporation tax grew by 10% over the prior period to stand at Shs 6.5 billion principally due to higher Excise Duty and VAT payments. Profit before tax grew by 11% reflecting the impact of improved sales mix on domestic turnover as well as higher export sales. Profits continue to be positively impacted by the underlying benefits of productivity savings on the cost of operations. Finance costs decreased by 35% reflecting lower interest rates relative to the prior period. We remain focussed on engaging the enforcement authorities and other relevant stakeholders in efforts to reduce the impact of illicit trade in tobacco products and hence level the playing field in the Industry. These efforts coupled with a stable and optimal excise regime will safeguard Government and Industry revenues on a sustainable basis. The factory continues to serve as a regional manufacturing hub and we continue to commit substantial resources to enhance its capabilities. The company remains vigilant on mitigating incremental costs of manufacture in order to sustain the cost competitiveness of the Nairobi factory. Dividend The Board of Directors have recommended an interim dividend in respect of the period ended 30 June 2013 of Shs 3.50 per Shs 10 ordinary share. The interim dividend shall be paid on 16 September 2013 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 14 August 2013, subject to withholding tax.

For after being lured by her parents to the circumcisers knife, 12-year-old Jane Wairimu* does not know what could be next. We were taken to our Cucus (grandmothers) home in April with my cousins where we were told that we were going to be made women, she told Saturday Nation at the Maela IDP Camp in Naivasha, as the world marked Day of the African Child last week. After they arrived in Turi, Nakuru, they were taken to an old womans hut. When Cucu arrived, our aunts forced us to open our legs before a woman cut o our private parts, said the former Standard Five pupil at Maai Mahiu Primary School. We were then sewn together. We bled a lot and I was just screaming. Some of the girls we were with fainted. When we attempted to put our legs together, we were slapped on thighs and told to be respectful.

Areas notorious for the cut are Molo, Nginda, Maela and several IDPS camps in Naivasha, where many young girls have succumbed to the pressure of their parents to face the knife. They are curcumcised during school holidays and some of the parents who spoke to Saturday Nation say they are proud that they have done the right thing. We would like to uphold our tradition and this will only be through circumcision, says Wairimus father John Njuguna. The 56-year-old vows that all his daughters will undergo the practice before they get married. His wife, Josphine Wangui, who also underwent the cut, believes it has no harm.

daughters sexual drive. They do not have any urges, unlike the ones who are not cut. They realise that once they are cut, their bodies belong only to their husbands. At least I do not have to deal with unwanted pregnancies or HIV/Aids, Wangui, a staunch Akorino, says. The practice has now alarmed authorities, with teachers attributing the high school dropout rates among girls in Maai Mahiu, Ndabibi and Kongoni to FGM. They say the pupils do not report back to school after undergoing the practice since they are married o. Besides early marriages, deteriorating health of the girls who undergo the cut also keeps them out of school. Stigma, according to Kipkunyo Primary School teacher Florence Kerecho, also drives circumcised girls to abandon studies.

Agency throws lifeline to illegal occupiers of land

The land commission has suspended the eviction of illegal occupiers of land and has asked those with allotment letters to bring them for verication and be issued with their title deeds. National Land Commission (NLC) chairman Muhammad Swazuri (right) said the decision followed increasing cases of dubious land documents among the public. The decision has been welcomed by Coast residents, who have fallen victim to forceful evictions after they were issued with fake allotment letters by con men. In an advertisement in the dailies, Dr Swazuri said those without valid documents will not be issued with title deeds. People who have been issued with letters of allotment are invited to submit the documents for verication and the exercise will be taking place within 90 days. Once the verication is complete, allottees with valid documents will be notied in writing to pay the requisite stand premiums and appropriate fees, Dr Swazuri said. He also said he was concerned about rising cases of genuine and purported owners, who forcefully and brutally evicted people found to be occupying their land. He said the manner and speed in which the evictions were done raised questions. The NLC has taken note of the wave of eviction notices, most of which are supported by court orders. Some of the evictions are driven by the desire to remove alleged occupiers, some of whom may not have any other places to go, and yet some of the landowners cannot prove ownership of the said parcels, Dr Swazuri said.

Prof Gregory Maloba went to Makerere for studies but ended up creating the countrys Independence Monument and decorating its currency notes

BY JOYCE NYAIRO
satnation@ke.nationmedia.com enya has the well-honed habit of shunning its cultural workers. Sometimes, other countries appropriate those workers, make them icons and celebrate them. A good case in point is Professor Gregory Paul Maloba. A Ugandan publication, Sunrise, recently referred to him as one of Ugandas rst professional sculptors. In Kefa Otisos Culture And Customs of Uganda, Maloba is counted amongst other contemporary Ugandan sculptors. So important is Maloba to Uganda(ns) that his work was recently inscribed on the currency notes that Uganda released in May 2010. This week, his wife, Beatrice, gave a good spirited laugh over the question of Malobas citizenship: He was very much a Kenyan, born in Mumias in 1922 educated at Mumias Primary and St Marys School, Yala. Maloba is buried on his farm in Likuyani, Kakamega County. In 1992, I travelled to Kampala with my family. As we strolled in the park around the hotel, we noticed a towering majestic art-piece in the distance. We were surprised to learn from the plaque that it was created by a man we knew as a quiet, soft spoken artist-turned-farmer living in Likuyani. He had never once mentioned his contribution to East Africas independence movement. When he sculpted that elegant monument located along Speke Road, Kampala, in the park beside the Sheraton Hotel and just opposite Standard Chartered Bank, Maloba was teaching at Makerere University. The tall magnicent sculpture is of a woman who is seemingly unwrapping a child while at the same time holding the child aloft. The child raises his arms high up pointing to the sky. One can choose to read traces of patronising neocolonialism in this portrayal the colonial British government clinging on to a fragile young nation. Or one can choose, instead, to focus on the sculpture not for its ambiguity about the new nation, but as a powerful statement of release from bondage and aiming for grand goals. When we got back to Eldoret and his lawyer mentioned that sculpture in Kampala to him, Maloba swelled with unmistakable pride. He had never returned to Uganda from the time he left. Conditions had never been right. Between 1971 and 1986, Uganda was in a constant state of political ux one military coup after another. Safety could not be guaranteed. By the 1990s, the vagaries of age made the journey across the border too cumbersome to contemplate. So when he heard rst-hand evidence from his lawyer that his independence statue still stood erect on the grounds where Ugandas rst Prime Minister, Apollo Milton Obote, rst unveiled it on October 5, 1962, Maloba was visibly surprised. Through war, rain and turmoil, his work was still a reminder of the hopes Uganda had once had; hopes that it struggles to full. Then the old professor made a shy request: if his lawyer ever returned to Kampala, would he please take a picture of the monument and bring it back to him? Maloba died at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret in May 2004. If he had lived to see his recently refurbished work CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

The father of Kenyan sculptors

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 emblazoned on Ugandas new currency notes he would have been overjoyed by that great honour and immortality. Maloba once said: A good piece of sculpture is an expression of Life. At the Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi stands a concrete water fountain spewing water from a pot held by two kneeling women. Though there are plaques naming the weeping g trees and other plants around it, there is no sign acknowledging the artist who built that towering fountain. He is not mentioned in the literature on the hotels history and the workers do not know who built the monument that they walk past every day! Malobas other commissioned work includes the concrete freezes on the stone wall of the Central Bank in Nairobi. From the perimeter fence round the bank, there is nothing to alert you to the identity of the man who created that genius art locked in stone. But the Maloba family still has the treasured album documenting the process of creating those freezes. Kaigwa was in the last sculpture class that Maloba taught before he retired from KU. He remembers the professor as a very intense teacher, he rarely smiled, took his teaching very seriously and was very keen to pass on his skills to us but was also very humble compared to some of his peers. Maloba never recounted his exploits and successes to his students, and he never forced his ideas on his students. Though naturally gifted, a career in ne art did not come easy to Maloba. In 1963, he told Transition magazine that when he rst left home at 14 to go to boarding school, his father, a carpenter, told him to forget all about mud if he wanted to get anywhere; he was to go and concentrate on his studies not spend all his time moulding the kind of mud gurines he was so fond of creating as a young child. In 1940, the governor, Sir Henry Moore, visited St Marys School Yala and the principal displayed Malobas art. The governors wife, a graduate of Londons Slade School of Fine Art, spotted the young artists skill and oered Maloba a scholarship to St Marys Kisubi in Uganda so that he could train under Margaret Trowell at Makerere. Later, he graduated from Manchester University and the Royal College of Art in London. Weak eye-sight challenged Malobas pursuit of art. But at Makerere, keen peers ensured that he got early treatment. In 1976, he underwent eye surgery in Nairobi, and later that year, he had a transplant operation in Holland. He always returned to his art even though many people thought that a life-time of ring clay in kilns and welding with inadequate protection affected his already weak eyes.
He bought lots of books that are still with us; other reminders are ceramics, pottery and busts that he sculpted
Prof Gregory Malobas son, Vincent
While in Uganda, Malobas art such as Death, The Beggar, The Hunter was often borne of deep philosophical musings about life and death. But his subject-matter grew over the years. Becoming a parent oers a new range of emotions for the artist to draw upon as raw material for his craft. And when a teacher becomes a parent, s/he nds a new set of willing students who sometimes proceed from sheer innate talent. Malobas son, Vincent, has endearing memories of his fathers craft as an artist and a teacher. He encouraged all of us to have a speculative interest in art... even if we were not going to go into art as a profession. Naturally, the children had to make some sacrices whenever their father needed some quiet working time in his studio. Maloba worked in silence, separating the making of art from the soothing inspiration of listening to classical music, especially Mozart and Beethoven. As children, Elizabeth, Vincent and his twin brother, Victor, had plenty of opportunities to experiment with art. Their father often brought home clay for his modelling and the children borrowed it to mould toy cars and animals. We could all sculpt and re a model. We were really good at making them, well, by the standards of children, especially animals; many people always told us that we should study art seriously. Victor, while he lived, was the only one who took up that challenge for both his O levels and his A levels at St Marys School in Nairobi. Even though he dropped the study of art thereafter, Victor was still good enough to undertake some structural drawings for the extension of his bedroom at the family home in Likuyani.
While teaching in Uganda, Malobas art was often borne of deep philosophical musings about life and death
But more than art-pieces, Malobas legacy is also in the three generations of artists that he trained. They include the evocative polychrome painter Geraldine Robarts, the maestro of soap-stone sculpting Elkana Ongesa and Gakunju Kaigwa, the ultra-versatile sculptor who works in resin, wood, stone and steel. Maloba returned to Kenya in 1965 to join the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Development at the University of Nairobi. He then went on to establish the Department of Art and Design at what was then, Kenyatta University College. KU remains the only public university in Kenya that oers degrees in Fine Art. The department Maloba started has grown tenfold. Today, he would be proud of its landscaped gardens adorned with sculptures of various forms, some of which carry echoes of his style. But having been extremely soft-spoken, he would probably nd the idea of teaching a drawing class of 100 undergraduates rather daunting.
Wherever he lived, Malobas homes were always distinguished by his beautiful landscaping. In Nairobi, he spent many hours with fellow artistes, students and peers like Elimo Njau sometimes going o to quiet forest areas to sketch as others sculpted and moulded. Vincent recalls that his father was a professor when it was a really prestigious and rare thing in Kenya and we felt the immense respect that he always got from people. As children, they gradually grew to learn of his fame seeing the awards that he received after presenting a wedding gift to Princess Margaret of England in 1960. Another gift in recognition of his work came from the Asian community in Uganda. The Kenya government never gave Maloba any State award. Vincent underlines that Malobas art is still very much a part of his family. He bought lots of books that are still with us; other reminders are ceramics, pottery and busts that he sculpted, which are still displayed in the dining room except for one, which my mother put in her bedroom. Maloba always said that in a world where politics and economics make art look irrelevant, the older artists must help the younger artists by example and by creating public awareness through travelling exhibitions. Artists will have to be aggressive and then good artists. Those that really work will make themselves felt, even if they are only a handful. It is not too late to reward the contribution of Prof Maloba to the formative years of an independent East Africa. We must strengthen our curriculum on art history and we can name and endow a Professor Emeritus Chair for Maloba at one of our universities. There is still time to give his widow, Beatrice, her husbands posthumous Elder of the Burning Spear (EBS) award. And we ought to name Prof Maloba in a list of 50 Outstanding Kenyans in Kenyas First Fifty Years. And hopefully, when our leaders are done bickering, they will see the value of preserving and marketing sites of memory such as Professor Gregory Paul Malobas art and his grave. His wife, Beatrice, remarked: It would be great to see the government do something to put these books to good use; they just gather dust here. Dr Nyairo is a cultural analyst. jnyairo@gmail.com

CONVERSATIONS WITH BOOK LOVERS
By Emeka-Mayaka Gekara & Julius Sigei
Self-taught former minister in a no-holdsbarred interview on his love for war heroes and books, plus working with dictators and cowards
e now walks with considerable diculty due to a bad hip, but his ghting spirit is relentless and continues to roar with his trademark laughter. During the campaigns ahead of the March 4, 2013 poll, Jubilee Coalition leaders mocked him as a relic of the past, a subject of history books and a dinosaur t for the museums. Deputy President William Ruto even compared him to ancient Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama. But sharp-tongued William Ronkorua ole Ntimama responded in kind saying he may be frail in body, but intellectually, his younger opponents could not hold a candle to him. The ebullient 85-year-old Ntimama was this week at his most melliuous when Saturday Nation met him at his Lavington home where, amid the chirping of birds and the whistling of the July breeze, he regaled these writers by reciting lines from such orators as Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King. The septuagenarian who straddled the length and breadth of Maasai land for four decades 15 years as chairman of the powerful Narok County Council and 25 years as MP and minister was unrepentant on his utterances, some which were the subject of the Akiwumi inquiry into tribal violence and which are blamed for the uprooting of hundreds of Kikuyus from the Rift Valley in 1991. While some Kenyans see him an indefatigable defender of the Maasai, there are those who regard him as an eloquent warmonger. He gave a stinging assessment of former President Mwai Kibaki, a man under whom he served for 10 years. During his retirement, the old man, who has probably the largest home library in the country, hopes to put together his memoirs which will capture his reection on post-independence Kenyan politics and the place of the Maasai. Q: Maasai men, especially of your Ilnyangusi generation, pride themselves in marrying many wives. How come you have only one? A: (Stanley) Oloitiptip had eight, (Lerionka) ole Ntutu had 12, (former Narok South MP Partasi ole) Nampaso and (Chief Samuel ole) Koriata had more or less the same number. Maybe I had many others out there myself. But seriously, what did not please me was the ght among the various houses that polygamy brought about. Q: You are a voracious reader and you have the biggest home library in Kenya. How did you become a reader? A: What many Kenyans may not know is that I am a self-taught man. I never saw the inside of a secondary school class. I joined the teaching profession after my elementary school certicate. Then I embarked on my O-level certicate, which I
read on my own. Then my headmaster told Carey Francis at Alliance: There is a young Maasai boy who would like to have your school as a centre for his examinations. Carey was excited about it. During the exams, my desk mate was Kenneth Matiba. I passed to proceed for my A-level and two years later I was back at the school to study history, literature and religious studies. Matiba became a lifelong friend. Q: So what is your education? A: I acquired diploma in Legal Studies from Oxford University, which I studied by correspondence. It is this situation as a self-taught student which made me a voracious reader. Being an independent student, you have to be very disciplined. I stopped pursuing higher education when politics and family came in. Q: What kind of books do you stock? A: All manner of books on history, literature and biographies of great people. I have been collecting these books whenever I travel to America and Europe. I am now donating them to Narok Library, which is the heritage I have left to my people. We built the library when I was the minister for Culture and Heritage. Q: You have been busy. Do you nd time to read even now at 85? A: Well, I have slowed down a bit and I now read newspapers and one or two books. I read late into the night. Q: Leaders of your age have been accused of going away with invaluable insight. Are you writing your memoirs? My family and friends in Europe and America, who concur that my 40-year unbroken record in leadership, have advised me to record my life. I have not settled on writers. I am inviting you to write the book because you have access to vast information on me from your (Nation) library. Q: Which leaders have most inuenced you? A: Martin Luther King, for leading the civil rights movement, and Abraham Lincoln, who emancipated the black man from slavery. This was the 1800s and a white American president declared support for the blacks. More people died in the ensuing civil war between those supporting emancipation and those against it than in any other war. Perhaps my greatest hero is Winston Churchill. If it were not for his win in the war against (Adolf) Hitler, we would all be slaves now under Nazism. I will never forget the statement he made in the House of Commons when he had just come to Parliament. He said of then Prime Minister Lloyd George: Mr Speaker sir, honourable ladies and gentlemen, the heart of this man is full of surrender. I dont think this is the kind of man you need. Lloyd George was voted out. The other is Mahatma Gandhi, who went to London in a shuka-like cloth and sandals during winter defending his country. Q: You have in the past dismissed Ngugi
wa Thiongo, regarded by some as Kenyas Chinua Achebe, while at the same time admiring Charles Mangua, known for his liberal use of profanity. A: No, no, no. I only criticised Ngugi at the time because of some unrest in Limuru attributed to him. But as a writer he is great. So are Achebe, Wole Soyinka and Taban Lo Liyong . All these great writers have an association with Leeds University. And oh yes I like Charles Mangua kabisa. Q: What are you reading now? A: I am reading a little interesting book I picked in New York. It has this debate between Churchill and (Clement) Attlee. They are arguing whether India should be granted self-determination. Attlee is for the idea of decolonisation whereas Churchill asserts that the sun will never set on the British Empire. Q: Being a erce Maasai rights defender, you changed tune in the last election, presenting an image of a benevolent host who had let immigrants to settle and prosper in Narok. Why the change of heart? A: Well, I still lost. I wanted to bring the people together. They still voted massively against me. Q: But at 85, what was the wisdom of seeking re-election? A: Honestly, this was the time I should have left the political scene. It was a mistake. Consensus in my family was for me not to stand, but my constituents lled this compound to ask me to stand one last time. I never wanted to retire in defeat. I had never lost an election. Q: You were a pillar of the Nyayo regime accused of committing atrocities, perpetuating tribalism and corruption. Are there things you think Moi should have done dierently? A: Moi is a personal friend. I can pick this phone even now and he will tell me come to Kabarak. He is very generous and kind. He can pay school fees for children from poor families and barefoot women from Baringo could go to his house and eat with him. If it were not for Moi, the Kalenjin would not have been educated. But as President, he did not

want anybody to go ahead of him. This made him one of the worst dictators. He even detained me in 1983 for 102 days for alleged incitement. Q: Despite your Kanu background, you are a erce defender of Raila Odinga, who cut his political teeth ghting Moi. Like Paul of Tarsus who was converted on his way to Damascus, when did you see the light? A: I had experienced the dangers of a dictatorship. I wanted freedom. Raila had suered for all of us. That is why I decided to lend him support. Q: Do you see him seizing the presidency in your lifetime? A: You never know Maybe he will never win At least some of us would have loved to see him ascend to the presidency. He has not been lucky. Poor man. Q: You guys waged a formidable campaign yet, you lost the election. A: The TNA machinery was determined to nish Raila and all of us. We did not lose. They stole the election. There, are of course certain areas we should have done better, but we were winning. Q: Cord today is outmarshalled and outmanoeuvred. There are those who think it is time Raila handed over the baton. A: Maybe it is a small lull. They will wake up. But I dont see anybody who can step in Railas shoes. The whole area is empty. Q: Not even Kalonzo Musyoka? A: Ha ha ha. Dont antagonise me with my friends but that coward he cant even put his own house in order. Q: Was it the antelope or the envelope? A: Ha ha ha. Oh that incident. There were all these people all over Narok destroying our water catchments and I told them to lie low like an antelope. It was an antelope, but the press picked envelope and it became so popular I didnt want to interfere. It remains envelope in the books of history. Q: Do you regret the consequences? A: No. I never regret when I say what CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

BOOK REVIEW | English version of memoir has been launched in the country
Auma on growing up in Obamas shadow

Story of a family that dared to dream and live big by daring to tread where others hadnt
BY STANLEY GAZEMBA
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com.com he story of the Obamas is a tale of triumph over adversity. It is a story of a family that dared to dream big, and live that dream by daring to tread where others hadnt. It is the story of proud strong-willed individuals who dared go against the grain and achieved big things. But it is also the story of the heavy price that these pursuits wrought on the players; a story of pain and perseverance and ultimately of the brevity to stare the damage in the eye and attempt to mend the wrongs. It is, overall, the story of post-Independence Kenya and of the Luo people, and the heavy expectations they place on the shoulders of its elite. Although she insists on being seen in her own right as an individual, Auma Obamas memoir, And Then Life Happens, obviously cannot be read in isolation from her famous brother Baracks Dreams From my Father. The two are intertwined. Among the Luo, the Obamas no doubt form part of the elite. And as Auma puts it, the privilege of being a projects achieved their objective. It is felt that to a large extent they paved way for an autocratic class that was content with moving into the colonial clubs and living in the best tradition of the settler they had displaced, the common mwananchi whose life they were supposed to improve left to his own devices. All the same, if you need any evidence of what tribalism, nepotism, cronyism and petty politics did to this dream, you can nd it in the senior Obamas story. Here was a ne brain that would have contributed enormously to the growth of this country were it not wasted by the system. And yet we wonder how Kenya was overtaken by the Asian Tiger economies, with which we were at par in the mid 1970s. One only hopes the countrys present leadership learns some lessons from our bungled past. Much as Auma and her brother, Barack, are attempting to tell their stories, it is obvious their fathers shadow looms large over them. Our father lived in two cultures, notes Auma as she attempts to explain Obama Senior to his son Barack, He was always straddling two worlds. Like almost all Africans, he was a victim of colonialism. This had destroyed the established tradition, and our father, in order to have a chance in the changed society, had been forced to adapt to a foreign, Western way of life, which was opposed in many ways to his customary existence. That intensied when he married Ruth, who represented this Western world in every aspect. And although he was exposed to her lifestyle and even practiced it himself for a long time, our father was at the same time thoroughly Luo. In his satirical piece How to Write About Africa, Binyavanga Wainaina takes a stab at the various misconceptions about Africa that Westerners have, and which have been so rubbed in by their media that they have practically become the norm there. Aumas experience in Germany reinforces Binyavangas wry bile. The people there often didnt perceive me as I really was, she writes, but rather according to their own preconceptions. Even when I had discussions with them for hours and explained to them that I was dierent from the preconceived image in their head, most of the time they refused to believe it. Even the fact that I spoke German almost uently didnt change anything. Some went on speaking to me in that strange Tarzan German. And if I wore traditional West African clothing in Kenya we dont have a traditional national dress they would comment that I now looked like a real African. The beauty of this book is the authors candour. A good memoir allows the reader access to the subjects innermost thoughts; almost like they are laying themselves bare to their reader. It takes courage to not only talk about traumatic events in ones life, but also go the extra mile and interrogate them to unravel an explanation for why they happened. It is not something an African experience prepares someone for. While we Africans might celebrate our Africanness, there are certain liberties that it takes from us as individuals with its numerous taboos and encumbrances. It could be one reason why there are very few proper memoirs on the continent compared to the West, which grants its writer the liberty to comment on their parents dating, for instance. Whether this is a good thing for us or not, is a question for another day. But for Aumas case, her European exposure no doubt prepared her to break this ceiling. That said, I have a feeling that writing this book was therapeutic to her. It certainly helped her come to terms with her stubborn, recalcitrant, restless personality. The story has been turned into a lm, The Education of Auma Obama, directed by Branwen Okpako, and which was aired at Goethe Institut auditorium during the launch of the English version of the book last month. The book is unavailable on local bookshelves due to the high cost of the hardcover version, but it will be available next month in the cheaper paperback. stangazemba@yahoo.com
Like a real African
chosen one in Kenya in her fathers days, meaning the few who had been granted a Western higher education, came with a price; the lifelong duty to provide for the welfare of those who had remained behind. In other words it was like a communal IOU. Obama senior was an indirect beneciary of Tom Mboyas famed pre-independence airlifts, which were designed to equip a select group of top-notch African students with the requisite skills to run the country after the British technocrats left with independence. The same applies to Jaramogi Odingas rival Russian project. The question has been whether these

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 I believe in. Sometimes I dont get time to put it nicely but I dont retract. Q: What is the most memorable interaction you had with Moi? A: Nothing specic really, but I can just tell you he never really caught on well with any Kikuyu leader, and he used me. Q: Use is certainly a heavy word. What kind of use was it? A: Well, he used me when I was happy to be used. He used me to shout at the Kikuyu to lie low. Q: You served in the Kenyatta, Moi, Kibaki and the Grand Coalition government. Which one do you consider to have been most inclined to public service? A: The coalition government. This, we achieved, not because of, but in spite of, Kibaki. Huyo mtu ako na roho nyeusi kabisa (that man is very selsh). He has few friends and he was a silent dictator. He had no interaction with Cabinet ministers. He is a self-seeker and out of touch with the common man. Take the quarrel over his oce space. He has big houses in Othaya and Muthaiga and we have built him another in Mweiga. But still he has not found it t to advise against such waste and recommend the money be spent in worthy causes. Even Kenyatta may not have been like Moi in the heart, but he at least he would welcome women to sing for him even if they may not have eaten with him. Q: You had this on-and-o friendship with George Saitoti. What are the recollections of the man who was a challenger to your position as king of the Maasai? Saitoti was very afraid of me. But he was also a hypocrite and a coward. He made so much money from this Goldenberg thing that virtually half of Lavington belongs to him. I saw his mausoleum and it is more glamorous than Kenyattas. He left colossal amounts of money. He did some things with Moi, but Moi refused to endorse him completely when it came to the matter of succeeding him. Moi said that the man could not lead. Q: Was Moi a good judge of character? A: Not really. I think it was just his whims of like and dislike. Q: The UhuRuto administration is marking its rst 100 days. What is your rating of their performance so far? A: They have not done anything to earn any marks from me yet. However, Uhuru Kenyatta handling the drug issue and good deeds must be appreciated. But there are also issues like (Deputy President William) Ruto asking for Sh100 million to furnish his ocial house, which has already gobbled Sh400 million. Q: You have insisted that historical wrongs dating back to the Anglo-Maasai agreements of 1904 and 1911, which shrank Maasailand
by more than two thirds, be righted. How is feasible is it to return all these lands? A: The so-called agreements were fake as there is no mention of an interpreter. We might not have lost as many lives as those lost during the Mau Mau but we lost a million acres of land and people. We still have it in our hearts. What my friend Paul Muite has started with the Mau Mau has borne fruit with the impending compensation. It can be done with our case. Q: A son of the Iltaarosero clan, you have fashioned yourself as a champion of Maasai rights. What do you consider the fruit of your crusade? A: On returning land, we have achieved almost nothing. But we have ensured young people of your generation know they were robbed. They are now conscious of their rights and could ght for a restoration of their lost heritage. A: But there are those who say that you are Meru. There was a time when this country was focusing on me and they asked: Why do you ght the Kikuyu yet you are one of them? I said I am not, then they said: but your wife is said to be Kikuyu. I said she is not. That is when they started we hear you are Meru. Do you have Meru blood? Like the envelope incident I did not deny it. The truth is that in the course of our migration from Laikipia, I was almost born in Meru as my mother was heavy with me. But, as fate would have it, she dropped me in Narok. Q: As a young Maasai man, did you kill a lion? How many head of cattle did you bring home from raids? A: No, no, I didnt do those things because I went to school. The chief moran would not have allowed it. Well, during the holidays, I would join in the Moran activities. Q: A defender of the Maasai who did not bring home any cattle? But I protected their cows for all these years. There are now loud cries
from there (Narok). Q: The Maasai have been celebrated all over the world as the authentic face of Kenya. Some have, however, decried the commoditisation of the Maasai moran as dehumanising. What is the place of Maasai culture in modern Kenya? A: The Maasai and the lion are the face of Kenya abroad and there is nothing wrong in morans jumping up and down (for tourists). The importance of culture cannot be gainsaid. Q: Why then do you support female circumcision? A: I have never uttered a single statement in support of female circumcision. What I dont like is the harassment of old men and women who carry out the practice. Eradicating it should be done in a more humane manner. The whole thing has been turned into a multi-million industry where people purporting to ght it are collecting money from America. Q: You are certainly a wealthy man with some claiming you own half of Narok Town, yet you bear the face of an ordinary Maasai. A: I am not wealthy. I have only enough to eat and something more so they may not ask me what I have done all these years. I have only 200 head of cattle and about 600 sheep and goats. Q: How do you spend your time now? I look after cattle, like other Maasai, as well as lend my voice to causes which require my leadership on the communitys front. I also visit with my age mates like John Keen, another rebrand with no brakes. Q: The settlement of the Mau Forest has been blamed for the declining water levels in the out-
lying areas and you have been on the forefront advocating its rehabilitation. Yet as chairman of the Narok County Council in the 1970s and 80s, you were instrumental in carving out the land to people including to Moi. That is not true. I never gave out the water towers. I still believe that if we dont protect our water towers, we will be in big trouble. Q: You seem keen to hoist womenfolk in your household. Where are the Ntimama boys? A: I dont know, you ask them. But I think like in any other family sometimes girls overshadow the boys.

Ricky Na Maraki out to spread jazz message in Kenya

Upcoming group has found its footing after initial poor response to its music in Nairobi
BY FLORENCE BETT
fcbett@gmail.com or many years, jazz music in Kenya has been synonymous with names such as Chris Bittok, Aaron Rimbui and George Hellon. But beneath these accomplished musicians, a crop of young artists is determined to break through. One such artist is Patrick Nanjero, a 33-year-old bass guitar and saxophonix. Patrick is better known as Ricky of Ricky Na Maraki in the jazz circles. Ricky is the good-natured father of a two-year-old son. He takes pride in his manicured ngernails and signature French painters hat. Rickys journey has not been easy; he has had to battle the misconception of jazz among Kenyans. He got his rst exposure to music through his brother, who had a band. His rst performance was at 16. I had been listening to the band during their practice. One evening, the band drummer failed to show up. Ricky picked up the drumsticks and with some condence, played with success. The thrill of the performance had me playing purely from recall. Ricky trained in information technology and electronic engineering at the Kenya Polytechnic University and Kenya Christian Industrial Training Institute (KCITI). He worked as an electrician for ve years. A staunch Christian, he had never considered going into music full-time. He mostly performed at his church and made one or two odd appearances in restaurants in Westlands. This landed him in trouble with his church. The church did not approve of me playing in a restaurant on a Saturday evening then playing with the praise and worship team on Sunday morning. It contradicted the beliefs of the church. They felt it was wrong to play for a secular and gospel crowd. Ricky changed churches in order to continue with his Saturday evening gigs. In 1999, Patrick Nakaya invited Ricky to join his band, Mjini Jazz. The band was then performing at The Norfolk Hotel. He used to earn Sh500 per performance. It worked because I needed to build my experience. But my playtime was limited because I didnt own a guitar then. I couldnt practice o-stage. He bought his rst bass guitar that year for Sh15,000. I opted to forego my wages to settle the debt. It took me two years to pay it in full, he says with a whimsical laugh. When the Norfolk contract expired, he joined another band, Zana Ziki Drums, with which he played for six months at the Safari Park Hotel. It was then that he became a soughtafter bassist. I got referrals often. One of the most rewarding was joining Eric Wainanas band, Mapinduzi, in February 2007. For two years, he travelled extensively with the band to the US, Europe, South and East Africa. In 2009, Ricky felt confident enough to create his own band Ricky Na Maraki. It was a four-man piece consisting of drums, guitars, keyboard and percussion instruments. Our rst contract was a weekly Saturday performance in Dass Restaurant, he says. The response to the band was dismal no audience meant no pay. For a year, we played for free to an empty restaurant. Our audience was the restaurants sta: waiters and security guards. What puzzled Ricky was that every time the band exited the stage, patrons would pour in. No one was interested in jazz. Ricky took a break to strategise. He noticed the greater Nairobi did not understand, or appreciate, jazz. There is a banal misconception that any instrumental music is jazz. Yet jazz soothes your soul; it is music that inspires. It is classical music with all its rules broken. Jazz is not a saxophone, or a trumpet or drums. Ricky adds that the foundations and history of jazz means it can be tailored to relate to ones culture. South Africans have their own version. So do our local jazzists. Ricky tweaked his to make the simplest form of jazz. Mine is a progression of chords and improvisa-

tion of tune, with vocals. It is a blend of both the traditional and modern Kenyan music styles. It is because of this blend that it has a balanced and all-round appeal, which makes for easy listening. After his one-year break, Ricky got a Wednesday slot with Club Sylk for an evening he called Afro-jazz. I played for free again. The response was more encouraging and I had a bigger audience. The contract was cancelled after two months, but I now felt ready for the next phase. Ricky released his first album, Tucheze, in late 2010. The album has eight tracks, no vocal accompaniments. No track was pre-written. I would go to the studio and compose as we went along. The album has sold 1,700 copies. Ricky is working on his second album, Bassiq Elements, to be released later this year. It will have 12 tracks. Unlike the rst album, this second album will incorporate vocals and feature local jazz artists, he says. Meanwhile, Ricky continues with live performances with his and other bands, including Eric Wainanas Best Band in Africa (BBA). His rst album is also still raking in sales. I have to make my music pay for it to be sustainable. I sell the album at all my live performances. It sells for Sh500. Ricky is involved in other projects. He is a tutor at the Sauti Academy. Founded in 2010, Sauti Academy is an initiative of Penya Records. Sauti Academys aim is to develop young artists. The programme is an excellent

platform for sharing, and nurturing, skill and talent. Hes also involved in a project, Jazz for Books that aims to promote the reading culture in Nairobi. I play jazz in private schools in exchange for books, which I distribute to public schools in slums. Schools like Kinyago Primary and Acref Academy have beneted from this initiative. Ricky is content with the strides his music has made thus far. Now it pays. And it pays very well, he says. He jokes that he raises his son in the ways of the bass. Bass is a language my son is learning to speak. His wife, Magdalene Odinyo, is his number one fan and critic. Magdalene has an excellent ear for music. As an artist, Ricky emphasises the importance of practice. I put in a disciplined two-to-three hours of practice daily. Rickys message to aspiring artists is to have no expectations when starting out. Focus on becoming a master of your instrument. Buy into your own vision because even if no else believes in it, your passion and gift will make a way for you. He positively notes that Kenya is embracing arts and culture. Jazz is being appreciated as a genre of music which need not be limited to the upper class. Ricky Na Marafiki performs at the Phoenix Players Theatre every last Tuesday of the month. The event is sponsored by Urban Bites. It runs from 6pm to 9 pm. Tickets are available at the venue for Sh300. The next event A Gentlemans Edition will be held on July 30.

THEATRE REVIEW | Theyre good initially, but there is need for artistes to establish their own identity
Duets have pitfalls, but sometimes they work

While many artistes have sad tales about collabos, others have no regrets
BY VERA OKEYO

or years, musicians have relied on duets to reach wider audiences. In Kenya, such a collaborative piece of work is popularly known as a collabo. While some little-known musicians have used collabos to gain mileage from their more famous partners, some such arrangements have ended in acrimony. The hit gospel song Sitolia was a duet by Willy Paul and Gloria Muliro. However, the media focused more on the bickering between two musicians than on the well arranged song. However, Kidum and Uganda diva Juliana Kanyomozis duet Haturudi Nyuma was a big hit in East Africa. Kenyan gospel songstress Geraldine Oduor and her Tanzanian friend and star Christina Shusho have nothing
but praise for duets. The two met in 2009 in a rural evangelism crusade, became instant friends because they admired each others previous albums, and from the friendship an entire album, Neno, was born. In the album is the hit song Napenda, which was received with much applause from both the secular and gospel audiences in Kenya and Tanzania. This album took me to another level, just as it did Shusho, Oduor says. Many people kept wondering who Geraldine was. Many decided to dig into my previous albums. It was unexpected of Shusho, a gospel superstar, to work with a musician little-known in her home country. Oduor, a Groove Awards winner, wrote most of the songs in the album. She has since received invitations from as far as Congo and South Africa, courtesy of her duet with Shusho. She had never imagined herself doing a collabo with any other musician but when she met Shusho, she had her eureka moment.
Eureka moment
Gospel musicians Christina Shusho (left) of Tanzania and Geraldine Oduor of Kenya. The two collaborated in the highly successful album titled Napenda.
When we met, I loved her spirit, humility, worship and ministry. I didnt mind sharing in the favour. Along with the fame the song brought came the issue of money. The work was borne out of conviction and not money as nobody paid the other. I never had much to give.

Shusho, too, never looked at the material gain. Also full of praise for collaborative eorts is musician Kenzo, famous for the song Mama Milka. His rst club song, Changamka, was a collabo with MC Fullstop. The two are a total contrast: While Kenzo is a soulful musician who loves the acoustic guitar, MC Fullstop is an energetic crowd puller who has mastered choreography. I wrote the song Changamka, listened to it and felt I needed a hand to put some life into it, and that was where MC Fullstop came in, Kenzo says. He describes his friend as an artiste that appeals to all carders of club going Kenyans. Changamka had many rewards for the two of them. The nancial returns were good, our musical proles climbed a notch higher and our friendship grew, Kenzo says. However, he cautions against relying on such arrangements. While they can be a good introduction to the competitive entertainment industry, there is need for artistes to establish their own identity.

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
What can I do for you, gentlemen, the man behind the counter said. How do you cast silver? Dave asked. Ive never done it before, but we made a rhino horn recently out of aluminium and You aspire to be a silversmith, the man said in a whispery kind of voice. He led us into a small workshop. Taking a small model of a leopard, he pushed it into the soft chalky bottom of a cuttlefish bone. He picked up another cuttlesh bone and pushed it against the half-exposed model until the two cuttlesh bones met. He took the flat cuttlefish bones apart and removed the model, leaving the shape of the model in the cuttlesh bones. Amazing, Dave said. You use cuttlesh bones for your forms instead of wet sand. The man nodded. After heating melted silver I pour it into the cuttlesh forms and tie the two halves together. When the metal is cool I undo the forms and I have a silver leopard. Or whatever other object Ive chosen to press into the cuttlesh forms.Ill bet we could do that, Dave said. I dont know where youll nd the silver, I said,
but I know where we can collect cuttlesh bones for forms. They get carried in on the tide and we can nd them up along the high water mark under the dried out seaweed. nThe man smiled. Yes, you could learn. But you must be taught. Do you want me to teach you? Daves eyes sparkled. Id love to. Then his shoulders sagged. But were leaving tomorrow to go to Lamu. Lamu, the man said. Even better. I have a cousin in Lamu. We learned silversmithing together in Yemen from an uncle who is a master silversmith. My cousin can teach you the basics of working with silver. Really? Dave asked. As long as you pay for the silver you use, he answered. My cousin has a shop on the main street in Lamu. Just ask for Omari the silversmith. As we walked out of the shop, Dave couldnt keep the big smile off his face. Im going to learn how to be a silversmith in Lamu. I cant wait. Maybe I can make some of those fancy necklaces like we saw in the museum today.

Literary Discourse
Sheng use killing our literature

BY MOHAMMED HUSSEIN
Literature requires good use of language in order for the writers message to be easily understood. In Kenya, the emergence of the slang language Sheng is posing a great challenge to the use and study of English and Kiswahili. Sheng combines words from English and Kiswahili, plus phrases and expressions from other Kenyan languages. The product is a mixture of dierent languages and accents, which do not make any sense. Former Education minister, Prof Sam Ongeri used to blame Sheng for the poor grades in languages in national examinations. Sheng is enforced with a unique writing used in the social media and text messages, which involves abbreviating English words into symbols and numbers. Certain expressions may fall out of time and new ones are formed to replace them. The Kwani? Project, and the political campaigns in the country have recently given an upper hand to Sheng. I do not think any writer who uses Sheng can reach a worldwide audience. Great literary icons such as Ngugi and Achebe have mastered English, which assisted them to convey their message, although the former attempted to write in Gikuyu. If you cannot be understood by your parents because they are aged, I am sure nobody else will get what you want to say. We should curb the use of Sheng in order to promote African literature.
TSC confusing trainee teachers

BY EVELYN OKOTH
Many readers have argued on whether or not literature should be merged with English. Here, I am a victim of circumstances. I remember the pain and confusion I experienced after joining the University of Nairobi in 2006 to pursue my degree in English and literature. I was already a teacher and needed to farther my education. I chose the two subjects hoping they were worlds apart. I did my rst semester and, just before sitting for my CATs, we heard that the TSC would consider the two as one subject. This meant I had to add another teaching subject to my studies. I wanted to study English, so I sacriced literature and chose commerce as the second subject, but again the TSC disowned single subjects such as commerce, economics, accounts and oce practice and merged them into business studies. The university, therefore, came up with 11 dierent sets of subject combinations like literature and history, literature and religion, linguistics and business studies, business studies and Swahili/Fasihi, linguistics and Swahili/Fasihi, among others. Shortly after, we were given a new demand on a possibility of majors and minors. Many opted to abandon English and literature and went for other subjects. So the question was, was I taking this course to work for the TSC or to be equipped with the right knowledge? This is how I ended up studying linguistics and business studies. But I have no regrets. In our third year, the big announcement was made that English could only be merged with literature and no other subject. Some people fumbled late and picked new subjects, others dropped out for fear of failing, others deferred while others paid more fees for new units. On the two disciplines being worlds apart, why shouldnt university students be allowed to pursue one part of English with another subject? Actually I think English blends well with secretarial studies while literature blends well with history. Why should someones papers be rejected by the TSC simply because they never did English and literature, yet they did literature and religion, which are taught in secondary schools? There should be some exibility. Allow students to chose one part of English and another subject of their choice, or simply make it compulsory for everyone. The truth is, the two subjects should be taught independently. evelynokoth@yahoo.com
Nobody is born a writer; we all have to undergo some training

All great writers were inuenced by what they read early in life
BY ABRAHAM KIPROTICH
he Saturday Nation published an article on Kenyas leading writers several weeks ago. The article elicited much debate among readers. As I was reading some articles recently, I came across an argument on whether writers are born or made. I noticed many people are of the view that writers are born, meaning they are born with the gift of writing. However, I believe that writers are made, not born. I am going to show why it is wrong to say that writers can only be born. To say writers are born is to suggest that one is either a writer or not. This is a generalisation. I suppose the proponents of this opinion will also tell us that musicians, doctors, lawyers, engineers, footballers, farmers, and so on are born, not made. Look at these examples: a brilliant doctor changes jobs to become an equally successful politician. Will they say he was born to be a doctor/politician?
storytelling and reading sessions is likely to develop an interest in reading and writing. In addition, the availability of story books of various titles at home and school can also arouse or fuel an appetite for reading, hence, writing. It is also important to note that qualities like passion, drive, determination, hard work and patience are key in making one a writer. Traits like creativity, humour, wit and intelligence are just added advantages. It is, therefore, evident that people must put in considerable eort if they hope to be writers. It is no easy task. I maintain that wide and thorough reading is crucial in the making of a writer. In this way, you will be able to learn from established writers, and even invent your own writing style. For instance, Wahome Mutahi was inuenced by a Kenyan newspaper columnist who was also a prolic satirist. In some of his stories, Ngugi wa Thiongo borrowed from Joseph Conrad. Gabriel Garcia Marquez was greatly inspired by the Greek classics. Of course, just like in any other venture, not all writers will be the same. Some will be average. Some will be good, while others will be great. Abraham Kiprotich is a teacher at Singore Girls Secondary School in Elgeiyo-Marakwet County.
Added advantages
Writers like Ngugi wa Thiongo have famous role models.

of our schools, colleges and universities in producing writers. It is to ignore the functions of English and Kiswahili teachers and journalism clubs in schools, as well as the creative writing courses at university. It is the work of teachers and lecturers in our learning institutions to equip students with writing skills. For a teacher to tell a class that writers are born, not made, is misleading, making students lose interest in writing. This is not to imply that we have to study up to university level to become writers. The ability to write well is mainly determined by the environment in which one lives. Thus, a child who is exposed to literature at an early age through
Cristiano Ronaldo entered the senior level in his football career in 2002, and was voted the best footballer in the world after about seven years. Now, is Ronaldo a born footballer? My answer to each of these questions is a no, as we have to consider the eorts these two people put in, and the facilities that made them successful in their respective elds. To claim that writers can only be born is to disregard the roles

Nothing wrong with thrillers

BY COSMAS MOGERE
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so goes an old adage. Yet Samuel Luchu dismissed pop literature as vague and tasteless (Saturday Nation, July 6, 2013). While delivering a message is the driving force behind any work of literature, encouraging people to consider your tastes and preference defeats logic. I derive pleasure from reading thrillers, investigative works as well as motivational books. Yet my likes override those of my sister, who loves romantic literature. Just like romantic books dene my sisters interest in books, so does pop literature dene some readers.
Not all is lost on poetry in schools

BY PHARES MWANGI
Emmanuel Kariuki need not get depressed on account of the dearth of literary criticism on poetry. (Saturday Nation, June 29, 2013). Many teachers fear teaching poetry. I hesitantly share Kariukis sentiment that the current school curriculum discourages the learning of poetry. It takes time to guide a learner through the sublime sensuous language of poetry that is often steeped in imagery, satire, allegory, symbolism and a variety of gures of speech. Yet, it is also true that the syllabus has carefully integrated poetry in the English course. A cursory glance at the English syllabus shows that there is a deliberate attempt to introduce poetry to learners gradually, beginning with an easy-to-understand approach in the lower classes. Let us demystify poetry and make it part and parcel of our daily lives. If the teacher shows real enthusiasm for poetry, the learners will fall in love with it.
Act now to save our indigenous languages from imminent death

BY KAMAU WANDERI
The literary discussion on this page has not touched on the use of African languages in contemporary literature. Only one writer, Tony Oduor (Saturday Nation, June 29, 2013) has brought this to light. There have been numerous arguments on the future of indigenous African languages, though an uncertainty on their future remains. For instance, in pre-colonial Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta edited the Muiguithania (reconciler) magazine among the Gikuyu people. There also existed a range of other publications from other communities such as Sauti ya Kericho (Kalenjin) and Sauti ya Mwafrika (a Swahili publication for Kadu) among others. After independence, in the early 1960s, there was an attempt to include indigenous languages in the school curriculum through a massive publications of basic literature books (mostly oral literature). But this trend seems to have failed as the indigenous languages are still endangered. No eort seems to be bearing fruit, not even from literature departments in local universities. The pride of a society is in its indigenous culture that gives it a unique recognition and identity. For this to happen, there have to be concerted eorts from both scholars and locals. In Kenya, except for Ngugi wa Thiongo, who declared his shift of momentum from full-time English writing to Gikuyu in Decolonizing the Mind, no other notable author has advocated for the indigenisation of African languages. Ngugi wrote the novel, Murogi wa Kagogo (Wizard of The Crow), which was translated to English. This is a wake-up call to literary critics and stakeholders to rethink their strategies of preserving African languages. The writer is a reporter with Taifa Leo

The Muslim Brotherhood, the inuential group from which Morsy emerged, has vowed to keep protesting until he is reinstated, and has called separate rallies across Cairo. But the groups ability to mobilise remains in question with much of its leadership detained, on the run or keeping a low prole. The anti-Morsy camp has also called for huge rallies after weekly

The rival rallies have raised fears of a fresh eruption of the violence that has shaken the country since the army removed Morsy from his post on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding his resignation. The overthrow of Egypts first democratically-elected leader has sparked deadly clashes and deepened divisions as the Arab worlds most populous country marks the holy month of Ramadhan, usually a time of communal sharing and unity. In the worst violence since the political upheaval, clashes around an army building in Cairo on Monday left 53 people dead, mostly Morsy supporters. The Brotherhood accuses the army of massacring its supporters, while the army says soldiers were attacked by terrorists and armed protesters.

The restive Sinai peninsula, home to Egypts luxury Red Sea resorts, has, meanwhile, been hit by a surge of violence, with militants killing an Egyptian police ocer in a rocket attack on a checkpoint early today, according to security and medical ocials. A Coptic Christian man was found decapitated on Thursday, ve days after gunmen kidnapped him, while on Wednesday, two people died in a militant attack on a security checkpoint in the Sinai and a police base came under mortar re. Hardcore Islamist militants have used the sparsely populated north of the peninsula as a launching pad for attacks on security forces. The United States said it was pressing ahead with plans to deliver four F-16 ghters to Egypt, while urging the countrys interim leadership to halt arbitrary arrests of Muslim Brotherhood members. Police are hunting for the movements Supreme Guide, Mohammed Badie, and other senior Brotherhood leaders, who are suspected of inciting deadly violence, after warrants were issued for their arrest on Wednesday. The public prosecutor has pressed charges against 200 of 650 people detained during Mondays violence. A US State Department spokeswoman said the arrests were not in line with the national reconciliation the interim government and military say they are pursuing, adding that if they continued it is hard to see how Egypt will move beyond this crisis.

I am now less anxious about Mandelas health, says wife

JOHANNESBURG, Friday
Nelson Mandelas wife has said she is less anxious about the health of South Africas rst black president than she was a week ago. He continues to respond positively to treatment, said Graca Machel. The 94-year-old is nevertheless said to remain in a critical state after ve weeks in hospital. On Thursday, President Jacob Zuma said the veteran of the struggle against white minority rule remains as much of a ghter now as he was 50 years ago. He was admitted on June 8 with a recurring lung infection. Last week, President Zuma denied reports that Mr Mandela was in a vegetative state. Several people who have seen him since say he was conscious and responsive. The BBCs Karen Allen in Johannesburg said Graca has been a constant presence at Mr Mandelas side in hospital and has largely been kept away from the legal rifts within the Mandela family which have been exposed in public over the past few weeks. She is the former presidents third wife. They married on his 80th birthday. Ocials have urged South Africans to prepare to celebrate his 95th birthday next week. Mr Mandela is revered across the world for his role in ending apartheid in South Africa. He was jailed for 27 years, before being freed in 1990 and elected president in 1994. He stepped down ve years later. Since 2009, when a United Nations resolution set Mandelas birthday, July 18, as an annual international day for humanitarian action, Ms Anthea van Rooyen has not heeded the call to dedicate 67 minutes on the day for community service in honour of the anti-apartheid icon. However, this year, Ms van Rooyen said she intends to change her stance and get involved. Ms van Rooyen said she plans to spare part of July 18 to visit an orphanage or do some other form of community work to show respect to humankind. Ms van Rooyen, who is a manager of Jacana, a tourist shop near the Nelson Mandela Square in the upmarket Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, said it will be her own form of personal tribute to Mr Mandela, who seems likely to spend his 95th birthday in hospital. The thing about it is that Nelson Mandela is an icon and obviously he is now ill and we dont know what is going to happen and so, while he is still present with us, we need to show that we appreciate him for sacricing his life and his family for the struggle, she said. As in Ms van Rooyens case, this years Mandela Day will have more signicance for many South Africans. Mr Mandelas stay in hospital has caused a anxiety across the world, but this has been palpable in South Africa, where the Nobel Peace Prize laureate is a seen as the father of an all-inclusive post-apartheid country.

Kagame wants end to violence against women

KIGALI, Friday
Rwandan President Paul Kagame has called for concerted eorts to end violence against women. The Head of State made the call on Thursday at the launch of a training course for more than 170 senior security ocials from across Africa at the Rwanda National Police Headquarters in Kacyiru, Kigali. The ocers from 34 countries across Africa are undergoing training to explore ways to end all forms of violence against women and girls. Its pleasing to see that Africas security organs are at the frontline in this drive. Its a security issue of great concern, which needs to be confronted seriously and in a coordinated manner, he said. Kagame (below) noted that women and girls continue to be subjected to diverse forms of violence. Violence against women and girls can be prevented and defeated. Its simply unacceptable that one in every three women around the world has been beaten, sexually assaulted or abused in another form and that four women are murdered each day worldwide by a male partner, said the president.

imbabwes First Lady, Grace Mugabe, has vowed that President Robert Mugabe will not step down any time soon as campaigns for the countrys July 31 elections gained momentum. The 47 year-old former mistress and secretary of the 89-year-old leader has hit the campaign trail with her husband who is seeking to defy age and lend another ve years in oce. I want to repeat what I said in 2008, Mrs Mugabe told a rally at a rural business centre about 80 kilometres from Harare on Thursday. I said there is no vacancy at State House. We are there at State House full time and I know this because you have condence in your leader and you want him to remain at State House. In 2008, President Mugabe lost the rst round of the presidential elections to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. The results of the elections were withheld for three weeks before a run-o poll was called. However, Mr Tsvangirai was forced to withdraw from the poll after suspected state security agents unleashed violence against his supporters. The international community rejected the results of the one-man poll and this forced President Mugabe to form a coalition with his former arch-rival. Loathed by many Zimbabweans for

her extravagant lifestyle, Mrs Mugabe has often been cited as the reason why her husband does not want to step down, even with reports of his failing health. At the rally she addressed alongside President Mugabe, she launched a scathing attack against Mr Tsvangirai, describing the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader as ugly and a philanderer. She claimed that when her husband met the Prime Minister for the rst time, he came home trembling. He (Mr Tsvangirai) is ugly both facially and in his heart, Mrs Mugabe said. When Baba (President Mugabe) rst met him physically he came home trembling and I asked him what the problem was to which he (President Mugabe) said he had never seen someone that ugly. President Mugabe has repeatedly denied reports that he is suering from advanced prostate cancer. Meanwhile, Mr Tsvangirai has also sought to exploit President Mugabes advanced age in his campaigns, saying it would be cruel for Zimbabweans to give his rival another ve-year term. I cannot avoid talking about (President) Mugabes age, he said. It is a serious national issue.

3,000 enter Uganda as South Sudan gunmen battle rivals in Jonglei they ee attacks in DRC
JUBA, Friday
BY NATION CORRESPONDENTS
KAMPALA, Friday The Ugandan military yesterday said they were on high alert at the border with DR Congo as more Congolese refugees continue pouring into Uganda, fleeing the ongoing fighting between government forces and the Allied Democratic Forces. A statement issued by the Uganda Red Cross Society said they counted 18,450 who had crossed into the country through Kamango and River Lamia in Bundibugyo since July 11. But the army spokesperson, Lt Col Paddy Ankunda put the number of refugees at 3,000 and said the figure would increase because more were entering Uganda through Busunga. The rebels attacked bases of the Congolese forces and captured Kamengo town, about 10 kilometres from the Uganda-DR Congo border.
This is the nearest ADF rebels have come close to the Ugandan and Congolese border in many years, a situation that has created fear that they might attack Uganda any time. Col Ankunda told a news conference in Mbuya that they are closely monitoring ADF movements. We have been monitoring them. They have been opening up new camps. They have also been retraining and we have information that they have links with al-Shabaab, he said At Bubandi Primary School, hundreds of Congolese refugees slept in classrooms, others on verandahs. They had no food and water by 12.15pm today. The rebel group rst attacked Uganda in 1996 but after a four-year war, they were defeated and retreated to eastern DR Congo. In 1999, they attacked Kichwambwa Technical College and killed 80 students.

We are worried that a lot of people will die, especially women and children
Pibor County Commissioner Joshua Konyi
Attacked bases
Columns of heavily-armed South Sudanese gunmen in a tribal militia are ghting their way towards a rival community in the eastern Jonglei state, a local ocial said today. Lou Nuer and Dinka gunmen from northern Jonglei are reported to be marching south towards Pibor, an area of their rivals, the Murle. We are worried that a lot of people will die, especially women and children, said Pibor County Commissioner Joshua Konyi, speaking to AFP via a crackling satellite phone from the town. He said civilians further out in the swampy bush were reporting that Murle civilians were eeing ahead of rampaging gangs of Lou Nuer gunmen armed with semi-automatic ries, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Im worried because the Lou Nuer youth are there in huge numbers, he said, adding that some reports estimated the militia force to number several thousand. The latest round of erce ghting broke out a week ago in Pibor county in conict-wracked Jonglei, as government troops try to clamp down on a rebellion as well as warring ethnic militia. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in South Sudan (UNMISS)
is deeply concerned about reports of a major mobilisation of armed youth (and) reported clashes , it said in a statement late Thursday. The latest clashes follows bitter ghting in May, when soldiers and other gunmen looted UN and aid agency stores in Pibor, including a key hospital. US State Department ocials said on Thursday they were deeply disturbed by mounting reports of abuse of civilians, including targeted killings, rape, beatings, and looting and destruction of homes and humanitarian facilities.

Number of people who died when the Lou Nuer marched south killing and looting in 2011
South Sudans rebel-turned-ocial army has also been ghting in the region to crush a rebellion since April 2011 led by David Yau Yau, who comes from the Murle people. Government ocials in Lou Nuer areas in northern Jonglei denied young men had set off to fight, but past clashes have followed a
similar pattern. In December 2011, some 8,000 Lou Nuer marched south killing and looting in what they said were reprisals for earlier attacks and cattle raids by Murle ghters. The UN later estimated over 600 people were massacred, although local ocials reported the gure to have been far higher. Rights groups accuse all sides of abusing and raping civilians. UN peacekeepers are based in Pibor and are patrolling in the town, but are not deployed in frontline areas, Konyi said. UNMISS admitted they were not in an immediate position to conrm details about the clashes. Low level aerial patrols are limited after soldiers in December shot down a UN helicopter, claiming they thought it was from former civil war foes in Sudan, who Juba regularly accuse of arming rebels as a proxy force. Ground patrols have also been scaled back after ve UN peacekeepers and seven UN civilian workers were killed in an ambush in April near Pibor. Jonglei was one of the areas hardest hit in Sudans 1983-2005 north-south civil war, which ended in a peace deal that paved the way for the Souths full independence. (AFP)

US angry with China for failing to hand over intelligence leaker

American ocial says Asian nations action was contrary to what two countries had agreed on last month

Key Syria rebel shot dead by a rival group

DAMASCUS, Friday
A senior member of the Free Syrian Army is reported to have been killed by a rival rebel group linked to al-Qaeda. Kamal Hamami, of the groups Supreme Military Council, was meeting members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant to discuss battle plans. A Free Syrian Army spokesman said he received a call from the group saying they had killed Kamal Hamami. It is part of an escalating struggle within the armed uprising between moderates and Islamists. A civil war within a civil war is building within the opposition as the two sides engage in a battle that is partly over the spoils and partly ideological. Kamal Hamami, also known as Abu Basir alLadkani, was in charge of a key brigade within the Free Syrian Army (FSA). He is believed to have met members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in the port city of Latakia to inform them of a planned oensive in the area, before being ambushed and shot dead. The Islamic State phoned me saying that they killed Abu Basir and that they will kill all of the Supreme Military Council, FSA spokesman Qassem Saadeddine told Reuters news agency.

ndonesian police today searched for 100 inmates, including militants, who escaped from an overcrowded jail after setting it ablaze in riots that left ve dead. The inmates began rampaging through the prison in Medan city on Sumatra island on Thursday afternoon, setting res and hurling bottles at guards in anger over power cuts and water shortages at the facility.

Hundreds evacuated as Typhoon Soulik nears Taiwan

TAIPEI, Friday
Hundreds of villagers were evacuated and schools and businesses shut down in Taiwan today as it prepared for the arrival of Typhoon Soulik, expected to pound the island with powerful winds and heavy rain over the weekend. Oces and schools closed in Taipei and eight other cities with residents advised to stay indoors as the typhoon churns towards the island. Packing winds of up to 209 kilometres an hour, Soulik is expected to make landfall on the north-east coast around 3am on Saturday, the Central Weather Bureau said. The bureau downgraded Soulik from a super typhoon to a moderate typhoon but warned residents across the island to prepare for extreme torrential rain classied as 350mm within 24 hours and rough seas. More than 600 residents were evacuated from six low-lying aboriginal riverside villages outside the capital city this morning. I saw TV reporting that the typhoon may bring in up to one metre of rainfall. That would be terrible and reminded me of the painful memories last year, said Ginghong Izan, a male migrant from the Amei aboriginal tribe. He spoke outside his home in Hsichou village. My TV, computer, refrigerator and furniture were all ooded when (Typhoon) Saola hit in August. It cost me around Tw$200,000 ($6,670), the 52-year-old said, adding that he started moving valuables to higher parts of his house two days ago. Saola left six dead, two missing and 16 wounded in Taiwan after taking 23 lives in the Philippines.

Buy cover, physically challenged advised

Stakeholders in the insurance business have called upon the physically challenged citizens to take up cover. Kenya Reinsurance Companys head Jadiah Mwarania said local insurers have policies that cater for all citizens. They are people like us. Policies like Personal accident covers are targeted to all members of the communities. They carry on with their daily activities and there is no way insurance companies can discriminate against them in giving covers, said Mr Mwarania.
op jobs in state-owned rms in the energy sector are now occupied by executives from the home area of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy. KenGen, Kenya Power, Rural Electrication Authority (REA) and Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) have appointed interim CEOs following the exit of their top brass with individuals from the Rift Valley and Central regions. KenGen tapped Simon Ngure on June 27 to replace Eddy Njoroge while REA last week replaced Zachary Ayieko with Nganga Munyu both appointees with roots in Central Kenya, the home turf of President Kenyatta. The Rift Valley has beneted with the appointments of Ben Chumo and Charles Tanui as interim boss of Kenya Power and KPC respectively following the exit of Joseph Njoroge and Selest Kilinda. The two populous regions voted overwhelmingly for President Kenyattas Jubilee Coalition in the March 4 elections a move that saw Mr Kenyatta appoint the Cabinet and the principal secretary of the Energy and Petroleum ministry from Rift Valley and Central. Davis Chirchir is the Cabinet Secretary while Mr Njoroge, who served as Kenya Power CEO since 2007, was appointed Energy principal secretary. The search for substantive CEOs of the parastatals is set to give Mr Chirchir an opportunity

Remit workers NSSF funds, employers told

Firms that have been evading payment of workers contributions to the National Social Security Fund will face the law after an audit ordered by government is done. Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi said the number of pay-as-you-earn accounts were more than those of NSSF and needed to be corrected. Speaking during the commissioning of the extension of Hazina Trade Centre that houses Nakumatt Lifestyle in Nairobi, he said non-payment of the funds by employers will not be tolerated.
Owing to the multi-billion shillings contracts in the energy sector, top jobs in the parastatals have turned out to be some of the most coveted positions.
to appoint preferred managers to run the cash-rich rms as the balance of power shifts in Kenyas energy industry. The process of getting permanent replacements will be keenly watched, especially the regions where the executives will come from, in a market that is used to confirming those acting in parastatals top jobs. The President has maintained that his government will severe the practice of distributing State jobs to political followers and tribesmen despite concerns that the Cabinet is dominated by persons from Rift Valley and Central regions. Top jobs in KenGen, Kenya Power and KPC are the most coveted among State-owned rms given that they control multi-billion shilling contracts. Last year, they generated a combined sales volume of Sh77.5 billion and Sh20.3 billion prot. The recruitments will be guided by the boards but Mr Chirchir and Mr Njoroge will play a bigger role on who runs the energy sector parastatals. The boards, which are dominated by state appointees, are ideally expected to forward three names to Mr Chirchir to pick his preferred candidate. A debate has been raging as to whether the governments power should be restricted to appointing directors or State-owned listed companies like Kenya Power and KenGen should be run like any other parastatals where ministers meddle in the appointment of CEOs and managers. The new bosses in the rms are also expected to attract attention both within the very top level of government and in the private sector, especially among deal makers eyeing a piece of the multi billion shillings projects which the parastatals have lined up. The new boss at KPC will be expected to guide the replacement of existing pipeline linking Mombasa to Nairobi, which has outlived its 30-year life span and is prone to ruptures. Plans to build a new $300 million (Sh25.5 billion) fuel pipeline from the Mombasa port to Nairobi have been on the radar for the past ve years and KPC is oating a tender for the construction of a bigger pipeline. Its former managing director, Mr Kilinda, was dismissed on the grounds that during his reign he hired three siblings a sister who is a telephonist, a brother who is a welder, and a sister who is a clerical ocer.

Sh19m plan launched to help farmers rear rabbits

Rabbits, unlike cattle, require a small piece of land to keep. In addition, their meat has a high nutritional value
Evans Makokha
he government has launched a rabbit keeping programme in 16 sub-counties across the country in a bid to generate income for small-scale farmers owing to a rising demand for the animals products globally. Assistant director in the state department of livestock production Evans Makokha said the project, which is going at a cost of Sh19.2 million, has been sparked by the diverse advantages that come along with the non-ruminant animals. The government has disbursed Sh1.2 million to each of the 16 sub-counties towards the purchase of hybrid breeds, establishment of hutches and feed grinding machines, said Mr Makokha at Sibanga area, Trans Nzoia County. He said the government had decided to give priority to keeping the animal among other projects due to the fact that rabbits require small space of land to rear them
as well as minimal care yet they have vast economic advantages. Rabbits, unlike cattle, require a small piece of land to keep. In addition, their meat has a high nutritional value of 20.8 per cent protein and has low levels of cholesterol which is healthy, he said. He said farmers who are going to benet from the project have no challenge of sourcing market since the government has been receiving orders for the animals products from dierent countries. The farmers have an advantage of a ready market. For instance, we recently had a request by France who wanted 400,000 metric tonnes of Rabbit meat which we could not raise even if we were to slaughter all rabbits in the country, he said. The area livestock production ofcer Wilbert Mkhamari said they used Sh200,000 to purchase rabbits to benet farmers to launch the project in Trans Nzoia East sub-county.

jwahome@ke.nationmedia.com airobi will host Africas fourth tallest building once the National Social Security Fund completes the construction of the 39-storey Hazina Trade Centre. The skyscrapper will be an extension of the building housing Nakumatt Lifestyle opposite the Jeevanjee Gardens. The extension works will involve the building of a 31-storey oce tower to complement the current eight oors (four basement levels, ground oor, two mezzanine & one podium). The Times Tower, where the Kenya Revenue Authority oces are located is currently the tallest building in East Africa at 140 metres high 33-storey, and will lose this position to the Hazina Trade Centre upon completion. The new high-rise building is estimated to be 180 meters tall. It will cost Sh6.7 billion and will take about 18 months to complete. Its features include fritted glazing, vegetated roof terraces, a ventilated atrium, helipad and citys viewing gallery. It will also constitute a high-end hotel that is expected to increase competition in the hospitality industry. Speaking during the commissioning for the extension of the building, the funds managing director, Mr Tom Odongo, said it will dwarf others in the city and will also occupy fourth position in Africa. NSSF has commenced the construction of Hazina that is going to be the tallest in East and Central Africa and third fourth tallest in Africa. This project was conceptualised many years ago but was delayed due to legal and nancial issues, he noted. Mr Odongo said once completed it will earn about Sh100 million rent income per month. NSSF invited new bids for the Hazina Trade Centre early this year following cancellation of the previous tender by the courts. NSSF had awarded the construction contract to Cementer Limited in 2011, but companies that lost the bid China Jiangxi International Kenya and China Wu Yi challenged the tendering in court. The rms undertaking construction are MruttuSalmann & Associates, quantity surveyors Tana & Associates, structural and civil engineers Abdul Mullick & associates while electrical and mechanical engineers are Metroeng consultants. The chairman Mr Adan Mohammed said the retirements fund would develop its various plots estimated to be worth Sh8.6 billion, adding that a feasibility study was being ongoing on the viability of a convention centre, along with a high-end hotel at its plot along Kenyatta Avenue.

BACKGROUND
Hazina Trade Centre project

Hazina Trade Centre project started in 1994 with construction work beginning three years later. But, owing to nancial hurdles, NSSF was unable to complete the tower block seeing it lease out as a shopping mall in 2003 to Nakumatt Holdings. Once complete its features would include fritted glazing, vegetated roof terraces, a ventilated atrium, helipad and citys viewing gallery.
This partnership will enhance trade opportunities in international markets for our customers and prospective customers
Fina Bank boss Rajesh Kapoor
The Global Trade Finance Program, established in 2005, lls this gap. In Africa, this means IFC shares the risk for global banks who want to do more business with local banks and companies, said IFCs director for East and South Africa, Mr Oumar Seydi. Fina Bank, with 35 branches across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, says that regional trade has been instrumental in its expansion drive. Since the Global Trade Finance Programme was established, it has disbursed Sh3.4 trillion ($40 billion) in trade nancing across 40 countries. In Kenya 10 banks are part of the programme.

Dear Mum, When God called you to Him, Our world crumbled. Why you? Why now? We asked. It took some time to understand that you were now in a better place. Where there is no pain, no tears, no suffering for you. You had fought the good ght, nished the race and kept the faith. The promise of seeing you once again in the next life has kept us going. 20 years on today, and we still miss you as deeply as we did back then, Your light will always burn bright and strong in our hearts as there is not another that could ever compare to you Your heart, your kind eyes, your beautiful smile, your discipline and your support is still fresh in us. We consider ourselves blessed and privileged to have had you, even if only for a short while. You have grandkids now, so beautiful they are, be their guardian angel forever. Mum, we shall cherish our memories of you, till we meet again. Rest on love, for we shall always love you. Your loving husband Raphael and your kids, Martin, Maryanne, George and Christine, relatives and friends.

Agar Day through social media. The countrys newspapers were full of praise for Agar, who was only brought to England originally as a development player for the rst two Tests and now may become an indispensable team member. If ever a debut Test innings deserved to be capped by a century, it was this one by Agar, The Australians Wayne Smith said. No Test cricketer has ever reached three figures batting at No.11 and theres a very good reason why not. Not only can the last man in not aord to make a mistake, but neither can his batting partner. The Australians cricket analyst Gideon Haigh wrote: Here was a thrilling initiation in international cricket, and a stunning riposte to the surrounding (Andy) Murray mania and British Lionising, pitching Englands cricketers into a triple-dip recession if not the country itself. A week ago, he (Agar) was unsure if he would be remaining with the squad, or jetting off to join an Australia A tour of Zimbabwe ... so perhaps it is not completely surprising that the outstanding performance has come from the player of whom least was anticipated, and in his secondary skill at that. The Telegraph said Agar has become part of Ashes legend. (AFP)

That was a big innings for this series. It could have really set the tone for the rest of the series, McGrath said. Weve shown we have some ght and are not going to lie down and die.

Burundis Herve Kakunze will be match referee, and Eritreas Gebreyesus Tesfaye the commissar. Cranes tactician Sredojevic says his side is well prepared, sentiments echoed by his Tanzanian counterpart.

Nondescripts: 90 years of rugby glory

BY JOHN KAGAGI
john.kagagi@gmail.com y wife says if I play rugby for Nondies one more time shell divorce meIm really going to miss her. The statement, printed boldly on the front of a Nondescripts RFC supporters T-shirt drives a point home: Rugby is a top priority for members of the oldest rugby club in Kenya. There is a bond of friendship at Nondescripts that lasts long beyond ones playing days, asserts Bill Cherry, whose son Alex currently plays for the club. In its 90-year existence, Nondies, as the club is fondly known, has weathered the good times and the bad. Longevity is a good indication of success, said Kenya Rugby Union chairman Mwangi Muthee at the launch of Nondescripts 90-year celebrations at The Red Lion, Nondies clubhouse at Jamhuri Showground in Nairobi. It is through a long existence that a culture is established and a system perfected. Nondescripts beginning goes back to a meeting at the Stanley Hotel on Wednesday, July 11, 1923. The meeting, attended by rugby players based in Nairobi, had been convened for the purpose of forming a rugby club. The meetings purpose was immediately modied. It was proposed by Mr. Kemp, and seconded by Mr. Ogilvie, that the meeting proceed to the formation of two clubs, the minutes of the meeting read. The proposal was put to the vote, with the two clubs proposal winning by 16 votes to 11. After further discussion it was resolved that those present decide which club they would belong to, and for the purpose, sign one of two lists headed Nairobi North and Nairobi South respectively.
One of the oldest and storied rugby football clubs in the region continues to be held together by undying loyalty of its members and intense love for the game
Sometimes it has seemed that Nondies have been too strong for their rivals, to the detriment of the latter, wrote M. Campbell and E.J. Cohen in the book Rugby Football in East Africa - 1909-1959. This is rather more the fault of other clubs, and recent years have shown the rise, in Nairobi, of new clubs to challenge the Nondies. Indeed, several new rugby clubs were formed over the years seemingly so from the influence of Nondescripts. The Railway Club started a rugby section in 1930, and it was not without opposition. It was generally felt that the reigning supremacy of Nondescripts in the District should be met by amalgamation rather than the formation of new clubs, wrote Campbell and Cohen. When a new club, Kenya Harlequin, was formed in 1952, it was named to resuscitate an honoured name that had rst appeared in Kenya rugby in 1923, mainly to try and upset Nondies supremacy , wrote Owen Wheeler, a founder and captain of Kenya Har-

lequin. The original Harlequins had disappeared, but their role in Kenya rugby was rekindled. For Kenyan rugby, the 1970s presented sucient numbers of quality indigenous players eager to compete for rst team places in clubs and representation honours. As indigenous Kenyans were taking over clubs like Impala and Kenya Harlequins from within, university sides Mean Machine and Blak Blad were formed. Mwamba RFC was formed in 1978. The club was open to all indigenous players. In an apparent reply to Nondies allwhite strip, Mwamba chose to play in black. Mwamba was formed to correct an imbalance, recalls founder Frank Ojiambo. Its a pity that we were a bunch of mostly white guys, playing in allwhite kit, reected Dave Francombe, as he broke the ice at Nondies 90-year launch. One of Francombes proudest moments was running out onto the pitch for Kenya in the 1993 World Cup qualier held at the Rugby Football Union of East Africa ground. Paul Ngoga, who played for Nondies in the 80s and 90s, was often a victim of African supporter abuse while on the pitch. Every time the fans called me names, Id win the ball or put in extra eort for Nondescripts. We did not have very fast backs, but we were very tactical, remembers the second row who played when Nondies were at their peak. We were a very disciplined side, and I enjoyed myself thoroughly at Nondies. _As a player, one could not be more motivated. We had several local

MOVING HOUSE
Were Nondies kicked out for being noisy?

Nondescripts RFC were kicked out of Parklands Sports Club in 1996 by a new club management that wanted all the players to pay membership and subscriptions. This was an unaordable option for Nondescripts. It did not help that Nondies loud celebrations after many a win went long into the night. Access to training grounds is a problem that team sports face countrywide. Quality players often do not equate to auent members. Member Sports clubs are picky. Paying members want peace and quiet. Team sports tend to be noisy, said a Parklands Sports Club member who requested anonymity.
Names put forward
Several names were put forward for Nairobi North, among them Crusaders, Wanderers and Harlequins. On being put to vote, Harlequins and Wanderers got equal number of votes, and the chairman, Reverend Orr, tipped the scale, declaring Harlequins to be the name of the new club. Nairobi South went on to become Nondescripts. Those must have been exciting times for rugby in the region. Two years earlier, in 1921, the Rugby Football Union - Kenya had been formed and in 1925, the rst local competition, the Nairobi District Championship (NDC) was played. In 1928, Nondescripts won the NDC. Between 1928 and 1960, Nondies lifted the NDC ag (the trophy was a ag) 12 times. In 1937, Nondies wrested the Enterprise Cup from ve-time champions Eldoret, whose membership came mainly from Afrikaners who settled around the post oce named Farm 64 , later renamed Eldoret. To date, Nondies hold the record for winning the Enterprise Cup 25 times since its inception in 1930.
Nondies won their rst Enterprise Cup title in 1937. They went on to win the Cup a record 25 times
trips, and every so often, we made an international tour. While race made the cover of the Nondies story, it was discipline, technical player skills and team tactics that carried an 80-year supremacy. Ken Kimani joined Nondies after Barclays Bank RFC closed down in 1994 and found a technically superior side. Training was very technical. The skills that the players learnt were not easily learnt elsewhere. It was very disciplined, remembers Branko Nginja, who joined Nondies from KCB. If you didnt train, you didnt play. But the unthinkable happened in 1996. Nondescripts were ejected from Parklands Sports Club, their home since 1923. The club rst moved briey to St Marys School, before settling down at their current clubhouse and grounds at the ASK Showground.
It was tough, being without a ground. There were some very strong Nondies members who carried the day and kept us together, remembers Justin Larby, a third generation Nondies member whose grandfather attended that rst 1923 meeting. The club could easily have folded were it not for dedicated members. Somehow, it was a tting farewell that Nondies greatest winning streak, a 21-year run from 1975 to 1996, coincided with the clubs eventual departure from Parklands Sports Club. In that period, Nondies lifted the prestigious Kenya Cup 15 times and won the coveted Enterprise Cup 16 times. After 1998, Nondies fell off the honours list. This year has seen a change of fortune at the club after a 10-year hiatus from its winning ways. We won this years Impala Floodlit tournament and our sevens team won the Lazio Sevens tournament while on tour in Italy last month, says club chairman Thomas Opiyo. Opiyo and a team of dedicated club members are committed to the clubs revival. John Kagagi is a writer at Content

Former University of Nairobi star player Murunga says shifting to the multiple champs was a natural choice
Mean Machines running air adds a dash of style to potent White Shirts
BY JOHN KAGAGI
john.kagagi@gmail.com n an unprecedented move a group of players from the University of Nairobis Mean Machine walked into a Nondescripts RFC training session in 1997 at Saint Marys School. Nondies were in a shaky position then, in between getting kicked out of Parklands Sports Club in 1996 and preparing to move to their new home at the Jamhuri Showground. While playing together at Mean Machine, a group of us wanted to continue playing rugby together, remembers former deadly winger Paul Pablo Murunga. Tito Okuku was the senior player among us, and he had played with Joe Gikuhi and Joe Mutuku, ex-Mean Machine players who were already at Nondies.
Sportsmen o the eld
Nondescripts were as hard as nails on the pitch. When you woke up on Sunday after playing Nondies, you knew from the battered state of your body that you had been in a real rugby match. Most of the times Nondies won, but quite surprisingly they were sportsmen o the eld, so we also enjoyed great social evenings after the match. They epitomized the rugby spirit, recalls the big, speedy
winger. At that time, Barclays RFC and Stanchart RFC had become defunct and most of their players had shifted to Kenya Harlequin. Impala had become a strong playing unit and we saw an opportunity for us to add Machines running style of rugby to Nondies forwards oriented style. Ben Clay of Nondescripts was interested in getting us to move to Nondies. He saw Mean Machine as a possible and constant supply of player resource. Crossing over felt natural. That season Mean Machine jewels, most through with their studies at the university, Tito Okuku, Tolbert Onyango, Shaka Kwach , Thomas Opiyo, Andrew Lopokoit, Andrew Ndiri Ondiek, Albert Onyango, Ger Mijoro, Kennedy Aswani and Pablo Murunga took their rugby to Nondies, and gave it a new spark. The impact was instant. Nondies won the 1997 Kenya Cup and the double, the Enterprise Cup and Kenya cup in 1998.
looking at territory on the eld differently. We got a chance to express ourselves on the pitch. I remember many Nondies players were called up to the national team at the time. Players like Neil McRae and Justin Larby got a call up. We all complemented each other. If I got another chance to play (for Nondies), I wouldnt do it differently.
Safety in numbers
If I got another chance to play (for Nondies), I wouldnt do it dierently

Paul Pablo Murunga
Continues Murunga: It wasnt an easy decision to make. We all knew how African players were abused by supporters during games. We had watched it happen. But there was safety in numbers, so it was an easier decision to make. It was a big change, moving to Nondies. We didnt have a consistent coach at Machine, and now we were coached full time. There was a style, a game plan that we played to and a strong forward pack which supplied us ball constantly, unlike the loose ball we lived off at Machine. We started

Kenyas rst international Test against Zimbabwe was arranged in two weeks, and it was all by chance. In May 1981, Kenya Rugby Football Union chairman, George Kariuki travelled to Zimbabwe for an insurance conference. When in Zimbabwe, I met the members of the Zimbabwe Rugby Union, and they invited me to dinner, remembers Kariuki. The entire ZRU board was at the dinner. After the dinner, the ZRU president, Dave Morgan put his case across. He told me that Zimbabwes President Robert Mugabe had stopped their national team from playing in South Africas Currie Cup. Zimbabwe had gained independence a year earlier on April 18, 1980 and one of the things the new president did was to ban interactions with the then aparthied government of South Africa. Zimbabwe was supposed to play in the Currie Cup in 10 days time but their presidents had given a decree, recalled Kariuki, Then Morgan, out of the blues asked me, can we play Kenya in 10 days time? Kariuki laughs. The next morning I picked up the phone and called John Lloyd, who was on the KRFU board. He said it was possible and I left it at that as had to continue with my tour in Zimbabwe. When I got back to Kenya I found Lloyd had organized everything. The Kenya team was ready and the game was on at Rugby Football Union of East Africa. I opened the Around the same newspaper on time that Zimbabwe Monday morning, attained independence, the KRFU had made a and read that I policy that only Kenyan had been named citizens could play for to play for Kenya the national team. A Kenya team comprised fully of its nationals Tank Otieno played Zambia in July 1980. Back to the Zimbabwe game. Michael Tank Otieno, then a 19-year-old, got the call up of his life. I opened the newspaper on Monday morning, and read that I had been named to play for Kenya instead of Jimmy Owino, remembers Otieno proudly. Jimmy was a renowned international centre, and here I was, starting against Zimbabwe, one of the hottest games Kenya had ever played in place of him. Otieno was fresh out of Alliance High School and had just played in the Eric Shirley Shield for Mwamba. Bill Okwirry, the chairman of selectors had named two rookies to the team, Otieno at outside centre and Patrick Wakhu at fullback. The selections however brought controversy. Tom Oketch was named captain of the team, said Otieno. He led a boycott of the team saying if I played, they would not take to the eld. Here I was, a 19-year-old sitting in the changing room. I didnt know what the hell was going on, and outside, there were 6 foot, 200 pound Zimbabweans waiting to play us. RFUEA grounds was packed to the rafters with enthusiastic Kenyan rugby fans. We had to calm things down, remembers Okwirry of the historical match. We had seen players with talent and named them to start and it all turned out well. These big, white guys were coming at us at a hundred miles an hour, Otieno says of the game. Pritt Nyandatt got injured and Jimmy Owino came in, so I moved to inside centre. We tackled like never before. I remember clearly, none of them passed me. I made every tackle. The Zimbabweans eventual won Kenya 34- 24, a respectable score for Kenya at the time as the southern Africans were considered a more superior rugby playing nation to their hosts.

NATIONAL TRIALS | Fireworks expected at Nyayo Stadium as athletes eye Moscow slots
Karoki the key man in mens 10,000m duel

But the fastest Kenyan over the distance this season faces the faster Bett, hungry Kiprop
BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com ocus will be in the 10,000m race when the one-day national trials for the World Athletics Championships is held today at Nyayo Stadium. Kenya has won the World Championships mens 10,000m title thrice since the inception of the biennial even in 1983. Charles Kamathi was the last Kenyan to claim the title in 2001 after Moses Tanui (1991) and Paul Kipkoech (1987). The rest have been dominated by Ethiopian runners who have won nine titles in 13 editions. Legendary Haile Gebrselassie and Kenenisa Bekele have won four times each with fellow countryman Ibrahim Jeilan prevailing in the last championship, 2011 Daegu. Well, Bedan Karoki, who was the best placed Kenya at the 2012 London Olympics at fth place, is among the favourites, boasting of the fastest Kenyan time this season of 27:05.50 from his fourth nish at the Prefontaine Classic in Oregon. Its the seventh fastest time this season. I know its a strong eld but I fear nobody, said Karoki, who shifted his based from Japan to Nyahururu in June. I have trained well and I am focusing on just running my race not caring who is in the eld. I want to make the team and the rest will follow. However, Emmanuel Bett goes into the race with the best qualifying time of 26:51.16 set last season, which apparently is his personal best attained is September in Brussels. In the mix is the 2007 World Cross Country junior silver medallist, Vincent Kiprop (26: 51.68) who has the second fastest time this season of 27:17.30 after nishing ninth in Oregon.

Will Vivians heir step out from pack?

BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com Just who will fit in the big shoes left by the World 10,000m and 5,000m champion Vivian Cheruiyot? Will the 2009 World champion Linet Masai, who also won bronze at the 2011 Worlds recover from a nagging leg injury to reclaim her glory or will the fast-rising reigning Africa 10,000m and 5,000m queen, Gladys Cherono, continue to stamp her authority? It will be left for the analysts to dissect and tell whether there is a credible athlete to equal Cheruiyots feat as she takes her maternity leave. Well, the focus will perhaps be on Cherono, who holds the third fastest time this season of 30:29.23 after she nished second behind Olympic champion Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopian in Ostrava Diamond League. Masai came sixth in the race with a time of 31:02.89 that places her seventh in the world and second in the pack at the moment. Besides Cherono and Masai, the reigning two-time World Cross Country champion, Emily Chebet could also pull a surprise. The return of the 2004 Athens Olympics 5,000m silver medalist Isabella Ochichi, who is also the 2006 Commonwealth Games 5,000m champion, should also spice up the trials. After missing out in the marathon team, the 2011 Berlin Marathon champion Florence Kiplagat could pull a surprise in the 10,000m trials. After playing second ddle to Masai in 2009 and Cheruiyot in 2011 in the 5,000m race, Sylvia Jebiwott Kibet will have two things to prove in Moscow but has to start at the trials where she faces sti challenge. The pack comprises of the 2010 World Junior 5,000m silver medallist, Mercy Cherono, Viola Jelagat Kibiwot and national cross country champion Margaret Wangare.
Olympic trials, Wilson Kiprop, the 2008 World Cross Country silver medallist , Leonard Komon and 2007 World 10,000m bronze medallist, Martin Mathathi, will be keen to resuscitate their carriers with places in the Moscow team. Fastest man in marathon Georey Mutai (2:03:02), who is also the 2012 Berlin Marathon champion, also hopes to snatch a place in the team after missing out in the Marathon selection alongside 2012 World Half Marathon bronze medallist, John Mwangagi and World junior 10,000m record holder, Josphat Bett (27:30.85). The eld has a blend of interesting youngsters, the likes of the 2013 World Cross Country junior silver medallist, Leonard Barsiton, the 2011 World Youth and Commonwealth 3,000m champion, William Sitonik, 2011 World cross junior silver medallist, Paul Tanui and 2010 World Junior 10,000m champion, Dennis Masai. By virtue of winning the 2012 Diamond League Series, Isaiah President Kiplangat is keen to put behind the London Olympics op. But rst things rst, he has to secure the place in the 5,000m team even though the 2012 Diamond League Series winners have been given wild cards. Kenya has won seven editions out of the 13 but the last time was by Benjamin Limo in 2005. The most successful Kenyan in the event is Ismael Kirui who won the 1993 and 1995 championships. Others to win are Yobes Ondeik (1991), Daniel Komen (1997), Richard Limo (2001) and Eliud Kipchoge (2003).

WOMEN ENTERPRISE FUND

GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS FOR KENYAN WOMEN
Are you a Kenyan woman age 18 years and above? Are you still struggling in poverty due to: lack of capital, collateral, high cost of credit, fear of loans, long distances to the bank, etc? Worry no more for we have good news for you.
Five years ago, the government responded to historical economic marginalization of Kenyan women by establishing an affirmative action fund-the Women Enterprise Fund. Primary causes of marginalization or financial exclusion are: lack of collateral, lack of capital, high cost of credit, low financial literacy, limited access to markets, high transactions costs, long distances to formal financial institutions, fear of loans, religious and cultural factors. The Fund structure, products, services and processes are deliberately designed to address the barriers that have contributed to marginalization and exclusion of women as tabulated below:
EXCLUSION FACTORS PRIOR TO THE FUNDs ESTABLISHMENT 1. High interest rates on loans from banks and other lenders 2. Lack of title deeds, logbooks, and other collateral demanded by banks and other lenders Low financial literacy High access/ transport costs to the nearest banks or micro finance institutions High transactions costs in loan applications, and other bank charges Cultural factors, e.g. fear of loans, need for men approval, etc THE FUNDs RESPONSE TO OVERCOME THE EXCLUSION FACTORS 1. Interest free loans (ZERO interest) to registered chamas, - the TUINUKE loans, & subsidized interest loans (8% p.a. on reducing balance) to individuals, through our Financial Intermediary Partners (FIs) the JIIMARISHE loans Lending to registered chamas does not require any collateral, instead women guarantee each other Free financial and business training offered by the Fund Volunteers found in every constituency The CWES Loans are decentralized to every constituency, so there is equality in access. Loans disbursed depends on demand and good repayment rates. Our FIs are distributed across the country apart from a few hard to reach areas Women repay their loans through MPESA. The loan application forms are free and can be accessed from any of our regional offices and District Gender Offices countrywide, as well as on our website:www.wef.co.ke We conduct free sensitization on the value of credit in creating wealth and employment. Message-women empowerment is about strengthening families. Men can also benefit from the group loan as long as they form not more than 30% of the members Working with partners e.g. Export Promotion Council, Kenya Bureau of Statistic, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture Technology, etc to train/sensitize women on product development, certification of their products, and facilitate linkages with big companies both local and international.
