BY NATION REPORTER
City Governor Evans Kidero
has been struggling to keep his
seat ever since he stepped into
oce in April last year.
First it was an appeal led
by former Embakasi MP Fer-
dinand Waititu the case that
nally resulted into his ouster
from oce yesterday that ap-
peared lethal.
Then came an incident in
September 2013 where he was
accused of slapping Nairobi
County Women Representative
Rachel Shebesh, leading to a
protracted battle that nearly
sank the governor.
But the two later mutually
agreed to have the matter
settled out of court after nego-
tiations led by various proxies
nominated by the two struck a
deal that has never been made
public.
Ms Shebesh had led demon-
strators into Dr Kideros oce
where the incident is said to
have occurred but the city boss
vehemently denied the claims
as police probed the matter.
Some Jubilee allied Members
of the County Assembly even
unsuccessfully attempted to
have him impeached, but
support from his majority
Cord MCAs saved him.
Shortly after, Dr Kidero
found himself in trouble after
he kicked o a new political
campaign in Nyanza couched
in big money funds drives,
causing political jitters in a
region largely dominated by
ODM and former Prime Min-
ister Raila Odinga.
Uhuru donation
Earlier, ODM appeared not
amused after Dr Kidero hosted
President Kenyatta at his Nai-
robi home, raising speculations
that he was tilting towards the
Jubilee alliance.
His large donations always
accompanied by cash from
both the President and his
Deputy William Ruto did not
go down well with local MPs.
Last week, Dr Kidero was
voted out as vice-chairman
of the Council of Governors.
Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya
replaced him.

N
airobi governor Evans Kidero
and his deputy are the latest
casualties of a wave of poll
petitions following the March 3, 2013
General Election.
The two lost their seats yesterday
after the Court of Appeal set aside a
judgment that had initially declared
them validly elected.
Two judges ruled that the elections
that ushered Dr Kidero in as governor
and his deputy, Mr Jonathan Mweke,
did not meet the constitutional thresh-
old of free and fair polls and that the
polls were marred by electoral crimes
and irregularities that should have at-
tracted investigations with possible
penalties.
The judges upheld the appeal Mr
Ferdinand Waititu led seeking a re-
versal of the petition judgement, but
Dr Kidero promised to move to the
Supreme Court to lodge an appeal.
Judges GBM Kariuki and Patrick
Kiage declared that the two leaders
were not validly elected and quashed
the decision that initially declared
them winners. However, judge Mo-
hammed Warsame, sitting on the
same bench, dissented and upheld
the High Court decision, saying, the
trial court did a thorough job.
There was tension both inside the
packed courtroom and outside as sup-
porters of the politicians gathered to
hear the judgement.
Supporters of Mr Waititu, who was
found unt to hold public oce by a
separate court in February, took to
the streets in celebration after the
ruling.
Judge Kariuki was the first to
declare that there had been a mis-
carriage of justice in the hearing and
determination handed to Mr Waititu
late last year that saw his petition
thrown out with costs.
The outcome of the judgement was
a result of suppressed evidence, the
judge said.
Partial scrutiny
He took issue with the partial scru-
tiny of votes that had been ordered
by the petition court, saying, it only
amounted to further suppression of
evidence and that even the outcome
disclosed various irregularities and
disrespect of the law.
The decision appeared to trash the
petition since it was held that they
did not aect the overall outcome,
judges Kariuki and Kiage said.
The trial judge did not give the
appellant a fair hearing, judge Kiage
said, adding, the High Court judge-
ment was shrouded by bias and
seemed to outrightly deny the peti-
tioners prayers from the outset.
Mr Waitutu pegged his petition
on grounds that the constitutional
threshold of a free and fair election
was not met in the elections. His
lawyers, Senior Counsel Paul Muite
and Harrison Kinyanjui, had laid 39
grounds of appeal.
They said the poll results had been
compromised and were not reective
of the true picture on the ground.
The judges said that the fact that
ballot papers were found strewn in
various parts of the city was a clear
testimony that the IEBC failed to
secure the polls as required of elec-
tion rules.
But Justice Warsame, dissenting,
said the appeal smirked of indolence.
The judge feared that a nullication
had far-reaching consequences espe-
cially on nances.
He said Mr Waititu may have led
his appeal based on the opinion polls
that put him ahead of his opponent
and questioned why he went to the
appeal court with additional evidence
that he should have presented during
the initial litigation.
In his opinion, the appeal was
crafty and was not clear on what it
was meant to achieve.
He said Dr Kidero gave Mr Waititu
a wide margin in the vote count and
that considering the political clout he
enjoyed in the city it was impossible
to steal from him over 70,000 votes
as he alleged.
It would be naturally dicult to
compromise his rights considering
the grassroots support he enjoys in
Nairobi, the judge said.
Justice Kiage said the fact that
Mr Waititu was denied a chance to
cross-examine some witnesses was
a fundamental error by the trial
judge.

mbu Governor Martin Nyaga
Wambora suffered another
setback yesterday after the
Senate sent him packing, for the
second time.
The Senate decision comes less
than 24 hours after Mr Wambora
lost his bid to stop the Senate from
conducting proceedings to impeach
him.
Principal High Court judge Richard
Mwongo earlier ruled that it would be
unlawful to stop a legislative organ
from performing its functions in the
public interest.
Thirty-ve out of 47 elected Sena-
tors voted in favour of a report of the
special committee that was investigat-
ing claims levelled against him by the
Embu County Assembly.
Only Senator Gideon Moi (Baringo,
Kanu) among members eligible, voted
against the impeachment motion.
Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti (APK)
abstained.
Senate Speaker Ekwee Ethuro made
it clear that Mr Wamboras exit from
oce took eect immediately after
the Senators verdict, according to the
Standing Order that guide business
of the House.
As at 1.30pm on Tuesday May
13, 2014, Governor Martin Nyaga
Wambora ceases to hold oce as
the governor of Embu County, the
Speaker ruled following the majority
vote on the matter.
While presenting the committees
report to the House, Senator Boni
Khalwale (Kakamega, UDF) who
was the chairman of the committee
said though the governor did not
personally appear, the committee
interrogated the accusations with a
view of according him justice.
Three charges
The governor was facing three
charges: gross violation of the Pub-
lic Procurement and Disposal Act,
gross violation of the Public Finance
Management Act and violation of the
Constitution of Kenya.
Senator Khalwale defended the
integrity of the committee saying it
was committed to its mandate and
dwelt on the issues.
We are as clean as cotton. There
was no witch-hunt or tribalism, he
told the attentive House.
He also defended the County As-
sembly of Embu against claims that
they were on a witch-hunting mission
or were motivated by tribalism, saying,
Mr Wambora comes from the biggest
ethnic community in Embu County,
with over 60 per cent representation
in the County Assembly.
Senator Kipchumba Murkomen
(Elgeyo-Marakwet, URP) described
the situation in Embu as sad, say-
ing there was a leadership problem
as Mr Wambora was unable to live
within the Constitution. He said it
was unfortunate Mr Wambora did not
appreciate they were dealing with a
new matter after courts quashed the
previous impeachment process.
Impeachment is a tool of govern-
ance. Its not a declaration about
his personal liability. Its not about
tribe. Its about accountability. Its
about facts and the Senate is mature
enough to deal with this matter, Sena-
tor Murkomen said.
But Senator Gedion Moi (Baringo,
Kanu) said there was no justication
of the motion because Mr Wambora
did not benet personally from the
corruption at the county.
Senate Majority Leader Kithure
Kindiki (TNA) said the Senate will not
back-track on its mandate of protect-
ing and oversight of counties.
Discipline the Executive
We shall discipline the Executive at
national and county levels to be serv-
ants of the people. The Senate shall
not entertain frivolous motions, but
we shall be vicious on corrupt lead-
ers, he said.
He also defended MCAs against ac-
cusations that they were lynch mobs,
saying, they are constitutional oce
holders.
Senate Minority Leader Moses
Wetangula (Bungoma, Ford-K) said
everybody had to work within and
under the Constitution.
He was dismayed by the level of Mr
Wambora arrogance and blamed it
on his lawyer, whom he said abdicated
his responsibility as a counsel.
Mr Wambora was a victim of
misadventure of his lawyer, Mr
Wetangula said. He reminded gov-
ernors that they are not elected as
bosses, but as chief executive ocers
of counties, and had to appreciate that
the buck stopped with them.
Senator Kiraitu Murungi (Meru,
APK) denied having anything to do
with Mr Wamboras predicaments.
Homa Bay Senator Otieno Kajwang
(ODM) said: Defence that its not me,
its my ocers is not good enough.

Embu Governor Martin Wambora
yesterday became the rst in Kenya
to be impeached twice.
Mr Wambora (left), who quit the
Provincial Administration for elective
politics in 2002, blames his woes on
his decision to ditch APK and join
TNA. Initially, he wanted to contest
the Runyenjes parliamentary seat on
an APK ticket. He later took part in
the race for the governor post as a
TNA candidate.
Eorts to contact Mr Wambora
failed to yield results.
According to his political adviser
Joshua Kanake, there has been a
deep-seated grudge between the
embattled leader and Embu Senator
Lenny Kivuti, the APK deputy leader,
following his loyalty switch.
He was in APK and the party was
assured of winning the parliamen-
tary and governor seats. The TNA
leadership just wanted to use him.
TNA trusted Ms Cecily Mbarire and
National Assembly Speaker Justin
Muturi. Wambora joined TNA alone
and his troops were not accommo-
dated, he said.
Mr Kanake said Mr Wambora also
failed to nd peace in TNA due to
internal contests and was eventually
edged out. He was allowed to oat
only one name out of the 13 nominated
members of the county assembly, he
added.

easy to share information and direct
operations.
It will also include a system of spy cam-
eras, linked to computers which will analyse
faces and other data to help identify and
track suspects.
The project will rst be implemented
in Nairobi and Mombasa, the two areas
of the country which have been hardest
hit by terrorism.
Sources familiar with the deal said that
Safaricom would build the system free and
would only be reimbursed the costs.
Government security communications
projects have in the past been theatres of
the most blatant corruption.
Anglo Leasing-type procurement such
as Project E-cops and Team Simoco
promised to set up high-tech surveillance
systems and link police stations via high
speed networks.
Even after devouring billions, police
stations have no working telephones and
none has a fax machine, leave alone the
promised networked computers for sharing
suspects mugshots and ngerprints.
Whereas previous contracts were given
to shadowy brokers and equally shadowy
foreign companies, the current project was
given to a local blue chip company.
Sources told the Nation that Safaricom
will today make a presentation to Presi-
dent Kenyatta and top military and security
bosses at State House, Nairobi, to demon-
strate how the system will work.
They will show how security personnel
will monitor live any area, detect any se-
curity incident, help direct police response
and monitor the ow of people and trac
especially in town centres.
It will have a command and control cen-
tre from where security operations will be
coordinated and a CCTV component and
other installations capable of working
with other surveillance systems already
in place.
A committee headed by Interior Princi-
pal Secretary Mutea Iringo evaluated the
system ahead of todays demonstration.
Membership of the committee included
heads of various security agencies.
Initially, Safaricom will be required to
develop a system for surveillance, analytics,
command and control for police in Nai-
robi and Mombasa to boost the capacity
of security agencies in ghting crime and
terrorism.
We are talking about a system similar
to the one used by the London Metropoli-
tan Police, said a source familiar with the
system but who cannot be quoted due to
the sensitive nature of the deal.
The tender for the system has been the
subject of controversy for years in Kenya
with Chinese rms Huawei and ZTE lock-
ing horns in a court battle over the project
last year (see separate story on Page 5).
Safaricom, which declared a record Sh23
billion prot for the last nancial year on
Monday, is expected to fund the project
from its own resources.
The Government is buying the system on
relatively easy terms. First, it will give Sa-
faricom spectrum (the air waves used by
cellphones) worth Sh7 billion and another
Sh7 billion in bits over a period of between
ve and seven years starting in 2016.
Under the project, Safaricom will build
a high-speed fourth generation network
known as Long Term Evolution and
supply the police with radio communica-
tion devices (GSM walkie-talkies tted
with SIM cards).
It will also provide and install dam-
age-proof, high denition and ultra-high
denition CCTV cameras across Mombasa
and Nairobi and their environs which will
be connected to a national command and
control room.
The system will have analytical capa-
bilities allowing for facial and movement
recognition from the CCTV footage that
will be relayed to the command and control
centre in real time.
Additionally, the police walkie-talkies
will have cameras both at the front and
the back to take pictures at crime scenes
for assessment and evidence. The pictures
can be sent in real time to the command
and control centre.
The walkie-talkies will also have tracking
capabilities to improve disaster response.
This will make it easy to track police of-
cers closest to a crime scene for faster
response.

T
axpayers would have lost Sh8.5
billion in inated costs if the
government had awarded a
security communication contract
to a Chinese company, according to
court records.
The tender, which was restricted to
Chinese rms, attracted six bidders,
four of who had been pre-qualied.
However, the project was shelved
after questions were raised on the
inated cost of the equipment for
the security forces.
According to an adavit signed by
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commis-
sion ocial J.K. Buchianga and was
deposited in court on January 23,
the evaluation of the nancial bid
by Chinese firm ZTE Kenya Ltd,
the financial proposal surpassed
the estimated project cost by a huge
margin.
The bidder prices for certain
items were too high compared to
prevailing market prices, the EACC
ocial said.
ZTE Kenya won the tender to de-
sign, build, supply, install, test and
commission the national surveillance,
communication and control system
for the National Police Service.
Documents seen by the Nation show
the proposed terms of payment were
unacceptable because 90 per cent of
the project cost would have been paid
once the equipment arrives and well
before commencement of installation,
testing and commissioning.
The EACC adavit was in respect
of a case in which activists Okiya
Omtatah and Wyclie Nyakina have
sued the Attorney-General and nine
others in connection with the police
telecommunications tender over
claims that it was awed.
Two of the bidders, ZTE Corpo-
ration and Huawei Technologies,
passed the preliminary technical
evaluation. However, after what was
referred to as a detailed technical
evaluation conducted on August 28,
2012, only ZTE Kenya qualied to
the next stage, which was nancial
evaluation.
When it was locked out, Huawei
Technologies lodged a request for
review with the Public Procurement
Appeals and Review Board, but it was
dismissed on January 14.
This paved the way for evaluation
of the nancial bid by ZTE Kenya the
following day.
Later, the Attorney-General advised
the Ministry of Interior and Coordi-
nation of National Government to
proceed with the procurement.
The EACC said that despite the
AGs advice, the Ministerial Tender
Committee met on October 3, 2013
and noted a number of anomalies.
One of the contentious issues was
that the technology oered by the
bidder was inappropriate because it
did not have roaming capabilities.
The bidder failed to specify how
the system would interface with the
existing GSM trunked radio system
and the future of the technology
fronted by the bidder was conten-
tious, the EACC says.
The committee also noted that
the bidders quotation was above the
budget by more than Sh9 billion or
$106 million.
The anti-corruption commission is
still investigating the tender.

BY NATION REPORTER
Two months ago, at the
height of terrorist attacks,
State House made a call to
Safaricom chief executive
Bob Collymore.
Concerned that his govern-
ment was losing grip of the
situation, President Kenyatta
wanted to know whether Safari-
com would help security agents
communicate better.
He asked the mobile phone
operator to develop a se-
curity communication and
surveillance system that would
urgently boost the capacity of
the national security agencies
to ght terrorists.
Direct procurement
According to sources privy
to the discussions, it was
perceived to be easier and
faster to go through a direct
procurement system since
previous attempts to enlist a
rm for the contract through
the open tender system had
failed as competitors fought
for the multi-billion project.
The source told the Nation
that there was also a feeling
that, being a signicant share-
holder in Safaricom, with a 35
per cent stake, the government
was safer entrusting the project
to the rm.
Safaricom was also picked
because it had the technical
expertise and nancial capa-
bility to roll out a project of
such magnitude.
The trade-o was that while
the telecom rm would get the
tender, it would deploy the sys-
tem at a lower cost as no prot
margin was to be added.
A technical committee was
then set up, led by Interior
principal secretary Mutea
Iringo, and comprising senior
government ocials, the ten-
der committee in the ministry,
and national security chiefs to
oversee the project. Dr Bitange
Ndemo was the teams techni-
cal advisor.
Safaricom was then invited
to pitch, and negotiations
started.
It was then agreed that part
of the governments reimburse-
ment of the Sh14.9 billion
Safaricom would spend to
put up the system would be in
form of spectrum of a similar
value.
On the one hand, the ad-
ditional spectrum would help
the mobile operator to improve
quality of service, which had
been a bone of contention be-
tween it and the regulator, the
Communications Commission
of Kenya.
On the other hand, Kenya
would have an efficient se-
curity communication and
surveillance system that would
increase its ability to contain
rising terrorism and crime.

agnosed with cancer.
She said during the union,
they got a son who is currently

Motorists have until

Inspector-General of
Police David Kimaiyo yes-
terday said vehicle owners
who fail to remove the tint
would be prosecuted and
their cars impounded.
The directive has been
made amid rising terror-
ism threat and increased
police vigilance.
Mr Kimaiyo also ordered
for screening of passengers
boarding public service ve-
hicles.
National security
In a national security
situation update, the po-
lice chief said 447 people
had been deported after
the screening of 2,303
people.
He said 288 people were
prosecuted and 730 sent

Mr Kimaiyo said police
were following crucial

the arrest of perpetra-
tors of last months twin
blasts in Mombasa and
Nairobi.
Police have also ordered
that everyone boarding
PSVs should carry an
identity card or other
identication papers.
Proponents of terror are
now resorting to directing
their negative energy at soft
targets, said Mr Kimaiyo.
Care should, therefore, be
taken to ensure that no one
leaves luggage unattended
to avoid creating panic.
Police further announced
that the deaths caused by
consumption of poison
drink a week ago in dierent
regions had risen to 93.
Embu had the highest
number of deaths, at 43,
while Makueni had 18.
Nine suspects have been
arrested on suspicion of
supplying the killer drink.
Over the weekend, oc-
ers in Tigoni arrested four
people and conscated 483
drums of substance believed
to be either ethanol or meth-
anol that was meant for the

he said.
He ordered for intensied

Chiefs in Nyanza have asked
the government to provide
them with the equipment
needed in the ght against
illicit brew.
They said they lack
transport, fuel, financial
resources and staff to stop
brewing of illicit liquor.
We only have one vehicle,
which is currently used in 15
areas.
The same vehicle lacks
enough fuel to move around
these locations giving
changaa brewers a lot of lee-
way, Kasipul Kabondo chief
James Oindi said.
He accused the Homa Bay
county government of issuing
business permits to traders al-
lowing them to sell unlicensed
spirits to consumers.

WAR ON ILLEGAL ALCOHOL
BY NGARE KARIUKI
@cornellngare
cnkariuki@ke.nationmedia.com
A
bout 25 per cent of all
alcohol consumed in
the world is produced
illegally or without proper
quality controls, a report has
revealed.
The new World Health Or-
ganisation (WHO) report also
shows consumption of illicit
brew and harmful drinking
habits to be behind more
than 200 diseases, including
liver cirrhosis, cancers and
physical injuries.
More needs to be done to
protect populations from the
negative health consequences
of alcohol consumption. The
report clearly shows that there
is no room for complacency
when it comes to reducing the
harmful use of alcohol, said
Dr Oleg Chestnov, WHOs
assistant director-general for
non-communicable diseases
and mental health.
More than 50 per cent of the
alcohol consumed globally is
in the form of spirits, the Glo-
bal Status Report on Alcohol
and Health 2014 shows.
Worldwide, 3.3 million
deaths in 2012 were due to
harmful use of alcohol, the
report shows.
This comes a week after il-
licit liquor killed 94 Kenyans,
with lab test results indicating
that the drink contained high
levels of methanol.
Health Cabinet Secretary
James Macharia said some
samples contained methanol
levels as high as 18 per cent,
yet its content in alcoholic
beverages should be nil.
The WHO report provides
country proles for alcohol
consumption in the 194 WHO
member States, the impact
on public health and policy
responses.
Although much of the il-
licit alcohol is produced in
low-income neighbourhoods
in Kenya, the report reveals
that for legally manufactured
alcohol, the greater the eco-
nomic wealth of a country, the
more alcohol is consumed and
the smaller the number of ab-
stainers.
Binge drinking
WHOs director for mental
health and substance abuse
Dr Shekhar Saxena said: We
found that worldwide about 16
per cent of drinkers engage
in heavy episodic drinking
often referred to as binge-
drinking which is the most
harmful to health.
Lower income groups, he
added, are more aected by
the social and health conse-
quences of alcohol. They often
lack quality health care and
are less protected by family
or community networks.

More than half of Kenyans
fear that they will be tortured if
arrested, a new report says.
The Amnesty International
report shows that 58 per cent
of respondents in Kenya believed
police would torture them. Another
84 per cent want a law enacted to
protect them against the suering,
the Torture in 2014: 30 Years of
Broken Promises states.
Amnesty International Country
Director Justus Nyangaya yester-
day said Kenya and many African
countries had betrayed commit-
ment to stop the practice.
The continent lags behind the
rest of the world in criminalising
torture, he added.
Signed and ratied
Kenya has signed and ratied
both the United Nations Con-
vention against Torture and the
African Charter on Human and
Peoples Rights but has failed to
criminalise torture in its statues,
he said during a Press brieng in
Nairobi.
The Constitution states that
the general rules of international
law shall form part of the laws of
Kenya.
The human rights organisation
said the inhuman treatment was
still rife in at least 24 Sub-Sahara
African countries, 30 years after
the adoption of the convention
that commits all governments to
combating the abuse.
Given the secretive nature of
the abuse, the true number is likely
to be far higher, Mr Nyangaya
said. The report says that torture
has become so routine in many Af-
rican countries that it has become
accepted as a legitimate response
to crime.

C
ounty Governments have
been ordered to stop hiring
nursery school teachers until
a dispute over the matter is sorted
out in court.
The court granted Kenya National
Union of Teachers orders stopping
counties from employing Early Child-
hood Education (ECD) teachers until
the matter is concluded.
However, Mr Justice Isaac Lenaola
noted that some counties had already
started hiring while others had con-
cluded recruiting ECD teachers.
Mr John Mbaluto, representing
Knut, said all the counties were served
with the suit papers but only Bomet,
Nyamira, Kiambu, Kili, Makueni,
Homa Bay and Kisii counties had
led responses.
It is in order that the counties
which have not shown any appear-
ance are represented by the rest who
have appeared. The Chairman of the
Council of Governors Isaac Ruto has
also led his reply and that means
that the county governments are well
represented, Justice Lenaola said.
The counties were therefore asked
to file their responses in 14 days
after which Knut will also reply in
14 days.
Mr Mbaluto said Knut received
credible information that sometime
in January 2014, there were plans by
various counties to directly recruit
ECD teachers. The information
caused Knut serious concerns as
the move appeared to conict with
the role and function of the Teachers
Service Commission, he said.
According to the lawyer, counties
were usurping the TSC mandate.
Mr Mbaluto held that TSC was the
only body with the technical ability,
expertise and capacity to assess and
vet applicants to ll up positions of
teachers.
The information received by Knut
was conrmed when various counties
began placing advertisements in the
media inviting qualied members of
the public to apply for positions of
ECD teachers, he said.
Knut secretary-general Wilson
Sossion said the move by county gov-
ernments was likely to undermine the
quality of education as there was no
guarantee of the standard and calibre
of the person being recruited.
The case will be mentioned on
June 27.

is being carried out irregularly.

T
he electoral commission
was not fully prepared
when it conducted last
years General Election, chair-
man Isaack Hassan says.
Mr Hassan said a delay
in the delivery of the Elec-
tronic Voter Identification
Devices (Evids) and lack of
sucient time for preparation
contributed to the hitches that
bogged down voting.
He said: We did not even
have time to test the Evids
or train sta adequately. We
were stretched to the limit in
terms of logistics, personnel
resources and technological
systems.
The chairman was speak-
ing at Kaskazi Beach Hotel
in Diani on the South Coast
during the opening of an
IEBC election evaluation
workshop.
The forum was convened
in the wake of calls by Cord
to have the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries
Commission disbanded.
Mr Hassan said that instead
of disbanding the commis-
sion, it should instead be
strengthened and given time
to correct its mistakes, not-
ing that logistical challenges
were to blame for some of the
failures.
He attributed the problems
they faced to the size of the
poll, saying no other country
in the world, except Kenya and
Sudan, had held six elections
at once. While Kenyas was
conducted in one day, Sudans
was held in seven days. Ken-
yans elected the President,
MPs, senators, governors,
womens representatives and
county assembly members
I have said time and time
again that the commission
does not have to be disbanded.
We need to emulate the ex-
ample of South Africa, where
the election commission has
stayed for over 20 years, the
chairman said.
Mr Hassan suggested that
as the MPs contemplate the
change of election dates from
August to December, they
should also look into the need
to have the General Election
staggered between the county
and national governments.
Kwale Governor Salim
Mvurya, who is aliated to
Cord, broke ranks with his
colleagues to oppose calls to
disband the IEBC.
He said the IEBC needed
to be strengthened to enable
it build the trust of Kenyans
and open up the democratic
space in the country.

David Maraga, while cau-
tioning against blaming the
IEBC ocials for the short-
comings, said the Judiciary

on the alert following the list-
ing of Nairobi by the World

Before the end of the year,
we will have stier penalties

said the minister.
There would be

ment of vehicle

The tests would be done on

Enforcing environment rules
has been devolved to the coun-
ties, which frees the ministry to

T
he Sh5.3 billion for
Uwezo Fund has
been released and
youths in more than 70
constituencies will this
week receive cash for their
projects.
The amount is part of the
Sh6 billion to be disbursed
to women and youth enter-
prises by the government.
All constituencies will get
between Sh15 million and
Sh31 million, with Mandera
South being the beneciary of
the highest amount. Turkana
West got Sh29 million, while
Kinango was allocated Sh27
million.
Mandera North got Sh25
million, with Makueni, Ba-
nissa and Turkana North
constituencies each getting
Sh24 million.
Lunga Lunga was given
Sh23 million.
The recent poverty index
and constituency population
data were used to determine
the sharing of the fund across
the country.
The Funds chief executive,
Mr Wilfred Buyema, said the
board will this week disburse
the funds to over 70 constit-
uencies which have opened
bank accounts.
We are embarking on
the rst phase of the fund
disbursement, we hope to
release the rst tranche by
the end of this week, Mr
Buyema said.
He said all the 290 con-
stituencies will eventually get
their share after they comply
with all requirements.
Registered groups
He emphasized the need
for the youth, women and
persons with disabilities to
access funds in their respec-
tive constituencies through
registered groups.
It is hard to dream big at
rst, and if the youth take
small steps rst, eventually
they realise that forming
groups increases their capac-
ity to harness their business
as opposed to individualism,
the chief executive said.
Training of the targeted
beneciaries has kicked o

of the disbursement of the
funds.
Said Mr Buyema: The
Government has set up fa-
vourable self-employment
policies allowing SMEs
owned by youth, women

to grow and ourish.
The fund was launched by

Too many queries on
SGR require answers
T
he construction of a new Standard Gauge
Railway (SGR) from Mombasa to Nairobi
is set to go ahead after Kenya signed a
nancing agreement with Chinas Exim Bank for
the $3.8 billion project.
Work is expected to start in October and end in
about four years. Few would argue with the need to
improve our infrastructure and trade links and cut
the cost of doing business within Kenya and the
region.
Such has been the under-investment in the
regions transport infrastructure that the SGR will
be the rst major railway project in Kenya in more
than a century.
While it is a historical feat that must be
applauded, there are questions that remain about
its future and its viability.
First, what does the new railway mean to the
existing RVR concession over the Kenya-Uganda
Railway? Is there a possibility of litigation if
business intended for the old railway is diverted to
the new one? And if so, have provisions been made
for that?
Secondly, the new railway is expected to continue
on to Kampala and Kigali, with a spur to Juba
in South Sudan. Have feasibility studies been
undertaken to establish whether those extensions,
which are a fundamental part of the project, are
commercially viable?
Third, what are the nancing requirements of
those extensions and how do the partner states
plan to meet them? Are there benets of economies
of scale in attaining nancial closure and signing
one turnkey deal for the entire project?
Intra-regional trade
Ocials close to the project have previously
indicated that the new railway will increase the
speed of the movement of goods and reduce the
cost from $0.20 to $0.08 cents per tonne per
kilometre. Is this only for the leg to Nairobi or are
these savings reected to the farthest point?
Finally, what lessons, if any, have we learnt
from the Tazara railway built decades ago to link
Tanzania and Zambia, but which never met even its
most conservative objectives?
Might it not, for instance, make more commercial
and strategic sense if we planned to extend the
railway line to the upcoming oil elds of western
Uganda, and onto the mineral and timber-rich
swathes of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
to ensure return cargo trac?
These and perhaps other questions need not kill
or unduly slow down the Standard Gauge Railway
project, but they are worth asking (and being
answered) now, when changes can be made to the
project design, not ve years later.
Intra-regional trade is a key growth area for the
economies across East Africa. Done well, on time,
and in budget, this project could potentially trigger
faster growth in the region and deepen economic
and political integration in the East African
Community.
Providing clarity to these questions and bringing
more transparency to the project will ensure that
the Standard Gauge Railway pushes us forward,
and that what looks like a light at the end of the
tunnel is not an on rushing train.

T
he Chinese are not
Santa Claus. The
deals we have signed
with them are loans, which
we will have to repay.
But I must admit I admire
the way these deals are
arranged, especially the
time-frames and project
completion dates.
As it is, if things go
according to plan, we
will have a completely
new railway line between
Mombasa and Nairobi in 42
months.
Had we sought money
from the conventional
sources the World Bank,
for instance we would still
be arguing about settlement
action plans, sovereign
guarantees, letters of no
objection and all manner of
conditionalities.
Anyone who takes a long-
term view will admit that
new infrastructure assets,
especially those whose
operations have a bearing
on the cost of doing
business such as ports,
railways, roads and
telecommunications, will
always make economic
sense, especially in the
future.
You can argue and debate
whether the feasibility
study was conducted at
arms-length and whether
the project was procured
transparently. You can
debate the cost of the
project and compare prices
with similar projects in
the region. But many
years later, especially if
the project is completed
within budget and agreed
completion dates, the long-
term benets will outweigh
the issues that critics
raise during the planning
and implementation stages.
Several years ago, we
shouted ourselves hoarse
over the Turkwell Gorge
project. Today, it is an
integral part of our hydro-
electric power generation
capacity. Years ago, we
derided former President
Moi for creating new
universities all over the
place haphazardly.
Critics dismissed some
of these projects as having
been started by the ruling
elite merely to create
opportunity for kick-backs
and back-handers
Yet when you look at
trends in demand for
university education
today, you will admit that
Moi was a visionary. The
public university system
would have been a total
mess had Moi not built the
institutions.
The lesson here is this:
You will not see the viability
of a massive infrastructure
project of the magnitude of
the standard railway gauge
if you lock yourself to the
mindset and contemporary
obsessions of the political
class. When it comes to
brick and mortar, what may
look unviable now may
become the game-changer
of the future.
In the case of the
standard gauge railway, big-
picture issues such the
likely impact of the massive
project on the broader
economy has been on the
back-burner. Indeed, what
has consumed the attention
of the chattering classes
and the Twitterati are the
numbers around the project.
It has been reduced to
an academic quibble about
whether the gures for
the project add up when
compared with similar
projects in Djibouti and
Ethiopia.
As things stand, the horse
has bolted. Whats critical
now is whether the Chinese
contractors will deliver
at the prices and quality
envisaged within time.
Although a good part of
the project will be funded
through the new railway
levy, the nancial model
assumes that the cost of
servicing the debt will
primarily be borne by
operational revenues.
What if the project does
not pick up enough business
in the rst ve years?
Admittedly, this risk has
been mitigated by tying
KPAs hands into giving
the new railway designated
quantities of cargo. But we
must not forget that the
cargo ultimately belongs to
shippers.
This is going to be a
massive undertaking.
Acquiring land on which the
railway will run alone will
cost taxpayers Sh8 billion.
Another major element of
the project is expansion of
the Embakasi terminal. Both
expansion and purchase of
new handling equipment
will cost a whopping Sh18.6
billion. In addition, Sh1
billion will be required to
acquire more land around
the container terminal.
The Chinese loan a
massive $3.23 billion will
increase Kenyas nominal
debt from Sh1.95 trillion
as at the end of July 2013,
to Sh2.23 trillion, with
the external component
increasing from Sh875
billion to Sh1.16 trillion.
We must get everything
right from the start. This
project is the kind we need
to get businesses expanding
again and to get quality
well-paying employment
opportunities for our
people.

T
hree years ago, the world applauded
as the Republic of South Sudan was
born, ending many years of struggle
for independence from Khartoum. The
world opened up its arms to welcome a
country founded by the people of South
Sudan regardless of age, tribe, ethnicity,
religion or occupation.
It was a delight to observe as the
citizens of South Sudan raise their
national ag and sing their National
Anthem as a symbol of their newfound
sovereign status.
It was also a joy to see people who had
been displaced by the war return to their
homes, and soldiers who had been in the
battleeld begin the process of healing
and rehabilitation to civilian lifestyles and
professional occupations.
It is now sad to note the retrogressive
direction that the country has taken over
the past few months. It is equally sad to
note the international community has
not taken strong measures to stop the
killings and other atrocities as diplomatic
attempts are being made to bring the
diering leaders together.
It is time for South Sudanese leaders to
come together and arrive at a consensus
over their dierences for the sake of the
country.
Of course consensus-building calls for
compromise and repositioning of ones
stand for the common good. However,
the process should be dened by national
interests and governed by mutual respect.
Any more atrocities in the country
against any person or community must be
paid for. The perpetrators, planners and
nanciers of such atrocities must take full
responsibility for their actions.
Local solutions
Its time President Uhuru Kenyatta
and his deputy, Mr William Ruto, took
stern measures to prevent any further
killings and atrocities. Their performance
continue to be exemplary, and East
Africans in general have a great deal of
condence in their ability to help the
people of that country to come up with
local solutions for their problems.
It is time for East African nations to
lend a helping hand to South Sudan
during its time of need. The East
African Community should rearm the
commitment it made that never again
will its members sit back and watch
conict within the region degenerate into
genocide as happened in Rwanda.
African countries, through the African
Union, recently showed the world that
African nations can unite for a common
purpose and advance the interests
of the continent through adoption of
homegrown remedies for local problems.
It is time the AU intervened in South
Sudan to help restore peace, unity and
good governance. It is also time the
international community applied pressure
towards resolving the conict and
mobilise humanitarian assistance for all
those aected.

I
f a doctor confuses
symptoms or even
mysteriously blames you
for pretending you are sick,
he is unlikely to prescribe the
right medicine for you. This is
the situation in Kenya today
when it comes to the public
commentary on terrorism.
Some of our countrys most
prominent voices lay the
root causes of the continuing
terrorist campaign in Kenya
on poverty, joblessness, or
political marginalisation.
Others argue that Al-Shabaab
and its aliates sustained
regime of murder would stop
instantly if Kenya withdrew its
troops from Somalia.
Yet some imply, without ever
citing a single supporting fact,
that the attacks are a sinister
State plot to distract Kenyans
from the very real challenges
our country faces.
These diagnoses, when
they are not used to advance
narrow political agendas,
are driven by a blind belief
that non-State violence is
almost always a response to
grievances born of government
ineptitude or corruption.
The terrorist attacks,
therefore, become one more
chance to heap individualised
blame on public servants.
We all know that terrorists
with the same ideological
leanings and connections as
Al-Shabaab have struck some
of the richest countries in the
world. And there are poorer,
far worse governed countries
than Kenya that are not a
target. We were also under
attack long before the KDF
ever deployed to Somalia.
Here is the real root cause.
The democratic, open Kenya
we are trying to build is
highly visible, oensive and
accessible to a network of
nanciers, recruiters and
ideologues that are inspired by
a deliberately distorted vision
of politicised Islam.
Not all political violence
arises from a desire to arrive
at clear goals like State power
or wealth; and that not every
rebel wants to overthrow the
government to make it more
ecient and responsive.
The suicide bomber
targeting poor people in
Eastleigh is not responding
to the oppression or the
marginalisation of the
vulnerable. As an individual
he may have deep emotional
and psychological problems
but his recruiters, trainers and
sponsors have not been driven
mad by their own suering or
that of any population group.
This is evident from the fact
that they are perfectly willing
to visit the most horric
murder and torture against the
weakest and most vulnerable.
Poverty, lack of opportunity,
political marginalisation or
Amisom operations allow
the recruiters more room to
manoeuvre but even when
these factors are absent, they
will continue their campaign.
They cleverly connect
local political or economic
problems with a globalised
campaign. But what they are
is a murderous reaction to
openness, individual rights
of religious practice, speech,
movement and occupation that
is spread from the western tip
of Africa, across the Sahel and
into the Horn of Africa.
The terrorists try to claim
an idealised past that never
was as a route to fanatically
seeking a future in which
behaviour is controlled
through fear, and in which the
individuals choices accord to
a single, and as I have said,
deliberately distorted vision of
Islam. Muslims have suered
the most from the terrorists.
If you want a peek into a
society ruled by Al-Shabaab
or its fellow travellers, look
no further than the areas
it controlled in Somalia
before being driven back by
Kenyan and Amisom troops.
A national campaign to
immunise children against
polio was forbidden as part
of an evil Western plot.
Football, music, and dancing
were banned.
The Taliban imposed rules
that allowed the whipping
of women for not covering
their ankles; a ban on women
laughing loudly, and on their
presence in public gatherings.
No cosmetics; windows were
to painted over so no one
could look into their rooms;
no photos of women printed in
newspapers; and no education
to girls older than 10.
Public beheadings,
mutilations and stoning
to death were frequent
entertainments for breaking
such rules. This is the stu of
unrelenting fanaticism.
Our analysts and pundits
should beware excusing the
devotion to violence and
control of the Talibans and
Al-Shabaabs of the world as
a rational political reaction to
globalisation, capitalism or
any number of local problems.
While their visions will never
take systematic root here
without millions of Kenyans
being murdered, unchallenged,
they can succeed in undoing
our own vision for Kenya.
Talibanisation in the
societies most vulnerable to
it will be harder to advance
if countries like Kenya
succeed in their fundamental
political and economic bet
that openness, freedom of
movement, association, speech
and exchange are the key to
the wealth and political culture
we both desire and deserve.
The terrorists must ensure
we fail. By attacking markets,
transportation and places of
worship, they are hoping that
our fear will shut down our
openness and lead to political
and religious division.
The national security organs
can productively leverage
private security companies
through a renewed regulatory
framework sensitive to the
counter-terrorism eort.
Finally, and most
importantly, we are part of
a global ght between open
societies and the terrorists
who consider them an
abomination. To be most
eective, our actions to
sustain our political and
constitutional order should be
properly rooted in a national
counter-terrorism strategy that
harnesses civilian institutions
and the public.

was the rst senior counter-
terrorism adviser to Igad.

Bureau of Standards asking brewers to take samples

NEW HUSBANDS? WHAT A LAUGH! The
clamour for women to be allowed to get second
husbands due to male impotence may sound
reasonable, but it will go against tradition, says Job
Momanyi. According to him, traditions are carried
on, not because of their logic, but for order and
sustainability of society. To him, it is not any dierent
from suggesting that men should also get pregnant
and bear children to share the pain and burden with
women. He quips: Even the Bible says it is the
women who will leave their homes to join men. His

DISAPPOINTED. When the Nairobi-Nakuru
highway was being repaired recently, Wahu Kamunyu,
a resident of the Uthiru suburb, had great expectations
that were in the end not fullled. The Uthiru junction to
Kinoo shopping centre stretch, which she had hoped
would be xed, was left untouched despite being in a
pathetic state. Who is supposed to repair this road?
The Kenya National Highways Authority? she asks. Her
contact is wahukamunyu@yahoo.com.
CEASEFIRE INSINCERE. From the word go, Dr
Asoka Itur doubted the sincerity of the South Sudan
ceasere agreement signed in Addis Ababa between
comrades-turned-bitter-foes Salva Kiir and Riek
Machar due to the extreme hardline positions held
by both parties. Even the body language and mien
betrayed them as merely playing to the gallery of the
international community over the threat of personal
sanctions, and hence the latest ploy to dupe the
world. His contact is dvokwd@yahoo.com.
MAINTAIN ROADS TOO. The Nairobi city
government may have plenty to do in the provision
of basic facilities and services to its residents who
pay the rates without fail, but Mahendra Adalja
still expects a lot more, particularly in the area of road
maintenance. The slip road o Waiyaki Way just after
Westlands shopping centre can be best described as
having gullies, and not just potholes. Can the county
government do something about it? he pleads. His
contact is mahendramedicaf@yahoo.co.uk.
DOUBLE STANDARDS. When the
National Environment Management Authoritys
demolition squad knocked down kiosks at Balozi
Estate, Nairobi, C.G. Munyori says, the explanation
given was that the structures were on the banks of the
Mbagathi River and the source of some of its pollution.
But Munyori wonders how come the same Nema has
turned a blind eye to the houses built on the banks of
Kibagare River in Lower Kabete and a supermarket on
the upper side. His contact is cgmunyori@jambo.co.ke.

JOSEPHINE IRENE KANGORI:

VICTOR ABUKA: Enact punitive
laws, collect revenue eectively and
prosecute corrupt ocials.
ASHENDEN VALE: KRA itself
needs to stop being corrupt. Second,
it needs to be pro-business; without
service delivery improving vastly,
people will want to evade tax until
they see their taxes working for
them. Dubai can sustain itself on ve
per cent tax while we cant even sus-
tain the roads we inherited from our
colonial masters.
AMBROSE MUTHAURA: KRA
should provide other alternative
places of paying taxes and register
more agents to collect taxes. Kenyans
evade taxes because they are not

lose to 90 people are dead
from the killer spirits, and
the nation is unperturbed.
Not a day of national mourning
has been set aside, nor even a
call for unity in grief. How can we
mourn when we are reaping what
we sowed? It would be hypocriti-
cal. For years, we have invested in
greed and corruption, and the har-
vest has not disappointed.
Its no accident that poison in its
pure form is nding its way down
human throats. We are so beaten by
the rains of corruption that an of-
cer who declines to take a bribe to
cover evil makes news headlines.
The war on illicit brews has
become war impossible because
victims, perpetrators, and rescue
missions conspire to frustrate the
fight. Drunkards even maintain
silence in bars to cover bar-owners
and themselves.
That the drinking dens remained
packed even as the death toll rose
is testimony that nothing and
no-one will separate the thirsty-
poor from their cheap concoction.
Anything that catapults them from
the sober world is welcome. At the
same time, the faceless killer brew-
ers are hell-bent on making their
dirty money at whatever cost. Mu-
tutho can introduce as many laws
as he wants, but addicts will surely
nd their way around the laws.
As ashes started returning to
ashes on Monday, and dust to dust,
one could only feel sad. There is no
knowing when and where metha-
nol will strike next. The on-going
crackdown on drinking dens is
only for a season, and then it will
be business as usual.
Perhaps the only workable
solution is for Nacada to provide
testing kits so that the people can
verify the content of their drink.
This way, any death from illicit
brew consumption will be treated
as suicide; and as a nation, we
shall not have to feel guilty that the
thirsty-poor ingested poison.
EMMA KABIRU, Nyeri
Drinks recall
When the rst deaths due to the
lethal brew were reported in Embu,
the government ought to have in-
stantly ordered the manufacturers
to recall all their drinks. Instead, as
usual, the government was talking
tough and, with its traditional knee-
jerk reaction, hunting down brew-
ers. Meanwhile, the deadly liquor
laced with methanol continues to
leave the warehouses for distribu-
tion in various counties.
Civilised societies recall anything
from vegetables to cars once a risk
detrimental to human lives is dis-
covered.
For years, too many lives have
been lost, mothers widowed, and
children orphaned as the govern-
ment does nothing to reduce, if not
to end, the menace. Its time the
government contained this killer
underground economy.

Five things taxman can do to rid Kenya of graft and levy dodgers
The Kenya Revenue Authority board is set to re-
cruit its head of investigations after the Parliamentary
Committee on Agriculture questioned its commis-
sioner-general on the role customs ocials played in
sugar smuggling. Indeed, major sugar companies in
western have gone under due to cheap sugar imports.
At the same time, the government wants to issue
an international bond to raise Sh125 billion, out of
which Sh52 billion will settle a matured loan, leaving
Sh70 billion for budgetary support. However, for this
to happen, the government insists it must pay An-
glo Leasing. This is a red herring because KRA only
needs to do certain things right to raise Sh1.5 trillion.
First, map all properties using Geocris and demand
back and current taxes from landlords. Second, re-
introduce an improved version of VAT withholding
agency system because very few contractors are re-
mitting full VAT. Then decentralise KRA operations
by opening county oces to make mapping easier.
KRA can also audit the publicly declared wealth of
its sta to root out corrupt ones who steal hundreds
of billions yearly in bribes and under-declarations.
Its also time the government started earnest pros-
ecutions and jailing of tax dodgers. That way, many
will start paying taxes without being pushed.
And this way, the issue of corrupt sugar cartels at
KRA and Anglo Leasing can be greatly mitigated.

Although the 10-day audit of Ardhi

THE WESAK BLESSING
BUDDHA PURNIMA
THE FULL MOON OF THE BUDDHA
FULL MOON: WEDNESDAY 14TH MAY, 2014. TIME: 10.16 P.M. (EAST AFRICAN TIME)
The anniversary of the Lord Buddhas passing falls on 14th May, 2014 this year, and the full
moon is at 10.16 p.m. (East African Time). According to tradition, on this day and the exact hour
of the full moon, the Lord Buddha appears before an assembly of all earths perfected beings
(Masters) at a valley in the Himalayas to shed upon the whole world a ood of his blessings.
The Lord Buddha has his own special type of force, which he outpours when he gives his
blessings to the world, and this benediction is a unique and very marvellous thing; for by his
authority and position a Buddha has access to planes of nature which are altogether beyond our
reach, hence he can transmute and draw down to our level the forces peculiar to those planes.
Without this mediation of the Buddha these forces would be of no use to us here in physical life;
their vibrations are so tremendous, so incredibly rapid, that they would pass through us unsensed at
any level we can reach, and we should never even know of their existence. But as it is, the force of the
blessing is scattered all over the world; and it instantly nds for itself channels through which it can
pour (just as water instantly nds an open pipe), thereby strengthening all good work and bringing
peace to the hearts of those who are able to receive it.
The occasion selected for this wonderful outpouring is the full moon day of the Indian (lunar) month
of Vaisakh, usually corresponding to the English May, and is the anniversary of all the momentous
occurrences of his last earthly life - his birth, his attainment of supreme enlightenment, and his
departure from the physical body.
From the book THE MASTERS AND THE PATH by Charles W. Leadbeater
There are now millions of people of all religions all over the world who believe in this and sit
in prayer and meditation when the May moon is full. They believe that an upward surge of their
aspirations creates a funnel down which may pour the divine grace dispensed at that moment.

Kenya Union of Post-Primary

According to Kisii Kuppet

board met on April 22 and resolved
to interdict Mr Peter Otuke, Mr

The board accused the three of

In the insubordination claim, the
board said the teachers admitted a

Mr Nyaundi accused the board
of blanket interdictions, saying
the teachers were not given suf-
cient time to respond to the

T
he mention of the name
Salgaa sends a chill down
the spine of every motorist
and traveller along the Nakuru-
Eldoret highway.
Scores of people have died and
many others have sustained seri-
ous injuries in accidents along an
11-kilometre stretch in the area.
The notorious section stretches
from Kibunja to Salgaa shopping
centre. It includes Jolly Farm,
Mkinyai and Migaa and Sach-
angwan, where an oil tanker
accident several years ago killed
nearly 200 people.
Despite the deaths and injuries,
and several campaigns to contain
road accidents, motorists still
speed on the dangerous stretch.
Drivers, including those with
many years of experience behind
the wheel, drive with little respect
for other road users.
According to data from the
Traffic Police Department, 71
people have lost their lives at
the spot since the beginning of
the year, with more than 300
being seriously injured.
The records show that in 2013
alone, 27 accidents occurred, with
45 people killed and 56 sustaining
serious injuries.
In 2012, the script was not any
dierent as 40 people died.
Rift Valley Regional Traf-
fic Enforcement Officer Mary
Omari, appealed to motorists to
be careful when driving along the
killer stretch.
Motorists must observe trac
rules and exercise caution all the
time, she said.
It seems the stretch is cursed.
Not a week passes without an
accident happening, said Mr
Patrick Rotich, a resident of
Mkinyai.
Most of the residents feel that
the fatal crashes are caused by
trucks as they descend the steep
stretch.
Most lorries are driven with-
out the gears engaged in a bid
to save on fuel, which drivers
normally sell at Salgaa trading
centre, said Ms Jacinta Awuok, a
sugar cane trader at Kibunjia.
According to residents, the
practice poses danger to other
road users. It has been the
major cause of fatal accidents
in the area.
Some motorists straddle the
yellow line that divides the road
for descending and ascending
vehicles. In so doing, they col-
lide with innocent drivers keeping
to the left, said Ms Awuok, add-
ing that by not engaging gears
downhill, it becomes dicult for
the drivers to apply emergency
brakes.
Exercise due care
According to Ms Awuok, the
only way to curb road carnage is
for drivers to exercise due care
while driving along this section.
The accidents are avoidable. I
dont understand why motorists
continue to put peoples lives at
risk by being reckless. They know
this road has killed many and will
continue to claim more if we are
not cautious, she said.
National Transport Safety
Authority (NTSA) chairperson
Lee Kinyanjui said that a 24-
hour speed camera would be
installed at the stretch to ensure
heavy commercial vehicle driv-
ers do not drive with the gears
disengaged.
He warned that those who will
be caught engaging in the practice
will have their driving licences re-
voked permanently.
Those caught must be dealt
with decisively to reduce the
number of road accidents that
have claimed numerous lives,
he said.
He recommended a new route
for trucks along the stretch.
Dark patches of spilt oil, bro-
ken glasses, pieces of rubber
and mangled remains of motor
vehicle parts litter the road sec-
tion, a grim reminder that the
stretch bears a bitter past for
many families.
In January 2009, an oil tanker
overturned just 300 metres from
Salgaa trading centre, eventually
resulting in the death of 347
people.
The victims had rushed to the
scene to scoop oil when the tanker
burst into ames.
Ms Susan Nyaboke, whose hus-
band narrowly escaped death in
the Sachangwan tragedy, urged
the public to avoid scooping oil
in tanker accidents.
The re consumed many of
those who had emerged from
their houses with containers
and hosepipes, ready to siphon
the fuel, she said.
Not a month passes without the
road stretch claiming lives. Ironi-
cally, there are several points for
trac ocers on the stretch.
Road signs stolen
A spot check along the sec-
tion shows that most of the road
signs have been stolen by some
residents for sale to scrap metal
dealers.
However, NTSA Director Gen-
eral Francis Meja last week said
that new road signs, guard rails
and road markings at the stretch
would be in place within the next
two weeks. He warned that any-
one found vandalising road signs
and guard rails would be punished
severely.
The community must take
a proactive stance on the road
signs. Let those vandalising
them be punished accordingly,
he said.
Former Makueni district com-
missioner Kigen Kipkorir died at
the Salgaa black spot when his
vehicle collided head-on with a
speeding oil tanker.
Residents said some of the
truck drivers will be tired and
sleepy, a situation that leads to
accidents.
The brakes fail whenever the
drivers attempt to slow down or
stop the loaded trucks, said Mr
James Kariuki, a mechanic at the
Salgaa trading centre.
Mr Salim Bakari, a matatu
driver, said some accidents are
caused by trucks parked along
the road.
The truck drivers dont care.
They just park and even stop in
the middle of the road without
warning, said Mr Bakari.

TUG-OF-WAR | Governor told facility belongs to the State because it serves EA and cannot be devolved
You will not run Mombasa port,
Mungatana tells governor Joho
BY MATHIAS RINGA

AND BOZO JENJE

bjenje@ke.nationmedia.com
E
mbattled Mombasa Governor
Ali Hassan Joho was yesterday
told there was no way he could
take over the management of the port
in his county.
Kenya Ports Authority chairman
Danson Mungatana termed it im-
possible for Mombasa County to take
over the management of the port.
He was reacting to a threat by
the governor that he would mobilise
residents to forcibly take control of
the port if the Senate failed to push
through a law allowing the countrys
gateway to be devolved.
Mr Mungatana said the port was
a national and international facility
because it serves Kenya as well as
neighbours Uganda, Rwanda, South
Sudan, northern Tanzania and the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
The port, he reminded the governor,
is a national asset as per the KPA Act,
and it would be illegal for him to take
over the facility.
The KPA boss said the port had
international status since it serves
other East African Community
member states.
There is no way the Mombasa
governor can take over the port as it
is legally a national asset.
The port is also an international
facility as neighbouring countries de-
pend on it. In this case, the governor
cannot handle issues dealt by Heads
of State, he said.
The KPA chairman said that if Mr
Joho took over the port, that would
mean that his Kisumu, Eldoret and
Nairobi counterparts would also claim
the port and airports in their areas.
We have an instance where electric-
ity is generated at Kindaruma dam but
I have never heard the area governor
demanding to manage the facility as
it is a national asset, he said.
When an asset falls in a particular
county does not mean that it cannot
be a national asset. After all the coun-
ties are part of the Republic of Kenya,
he told journalists on the sidelines
of an Agricultural Society of Kenya
event at Mkomani showground in
Mombasa.
Mr Joho has been lobbying for the
port to be handed over to the county,
arguing that the money allocated to
the region by the National Govern-
ment was not sucient to run its
budget.
On Monday, he said that although
the port was in Mombasa, residents
were not benefiting because the
revenue generated there went to the
National Government.
Eorts by the county to impose $2
(Sh174) levy per tonne of cargo han-
dled at the port hit a brick wall last
year after KPA bosses said they were
not consulted over the matter.
Stop meddling
The budget document had said that
the KPA management would collect
the levy on behalf of the county.
Mr Mungatana said he was not
aware of the intended levy.
And at the ground breaking
ceremony to launch a water pipe ex-
tension in Likoni, Mr Joho yesterday
told his detractors to stop meddling
in Mombasa politics and his quest
to have resources transferred to the
county.
When my term ends, the Presi-
dent will not be accountable. I will
be answerable to my people who will
want an explanation on my success
and failures, he told the ceremony at
Mrima Primary School.
Mr Joho claimed that the National
Government had sabotaged the road
maintenance programme in the county
by not allocating funds and the rem-
edy to that was to devolve resources
for the county to sustain itself.
When I push for the Kenya Ports
Authority and the ferry to be under the
county, I am asking more revenue for
the residents of Mombasa, he said.
The governor said residents were
putting him under pressure for devel-
opment and failure to allocate funds
for infrastructure was slowing down
the pace of progress.
I will not be threatened by those
yapping and indulging in petty poli-
tics. I will be implementing projects
for development since I promise to
deliver service, he said.
On water, Mr Joho said that the
Mombasa Water and Sewerage Serv-
ice Company would provide all the
households in the county with fresh
water by 2016.

executive Evans Ondieki can
sigh with relief after a select
committee set up to investi-

charges yesterday.
Mr Ondieki (right) however,
may not be out of the woods
yet as the House sought fresh
grounds to remove him.
Mwiki ward representa-
tive Isaac Ngige introduced
fresh grounds to probe him
over claims of corruption on
plans to introduce the contro-
versial Bus Rapid Transport
system.
The county has been plan-
ning on introducing 200 large
capacity buses as a means to
decongest the city.
The County Assembly
member sought to know
whether there was a Memo-
randum of Understanding
between Nairobi County and
Diamond Coaches Limited (a
partner in the deal) and what
the terms of the deal were.
Mr Ngige also called for
all interested parties in the
bus transport system to be
revealed and investigations
of corrupt dealings investi-
gated.
All is not lost, I would like
to save the faces of some of
the Members of the County
assembly today, Mr Ngige
said in an indication of how
badly the members had
taken the reinstatement of
Mr Ondieki.

A
magistrate yesterday
accused a lawyer of
trying to scuttle a child
custody case and disqualied
herself from hearing it.
Acting Senior Resident
Magistrate Judicaster Nthuku
said she did not wish to have
the case between a Kenyan
and his former Zimbabwean
wife delayed further.
The mans lawyer, Mr Harry
Gakinya, had expressed lack of
faith in her court, she said.
I have no other interest in
this case but to deliver justice
by ensuring the best interest
of the child is upheld as per
the Childrens Act.
She claimed the lawyer had
sought all possible means to
delay the case.
Mr Gakinyas conduct in
this case shows he is out to
scuttle the hearing beyond
two months and thereby
defeat justice. For the best
interest of the child, I wish
to discontinue myself from
this case as we are running
out of time, she said.
Ms Nthuku said the childs
mothers visa expires in a
month and that could be the
reason why the lawyer was
determined to defer the mat-
ter until the time lapses and
she is forced to leave without
the child.
If she continued handling
the case, the lawyer could
move to the High Court to
suspend the hearing as he
seeks to have her disquali-
ed hence delay the custody
case further, she said.
Saying she disqualified
herself from the case to fa-
cilitate expeditious disposal
by another court, Ms Nthuku
said there was a need for all
parties to think of what was
best for the child.
The childs mother, a resi-
dent of South Africa, ew into
Kenya to demand custody of
her son and maintenance from
her former husband.
She told the court the man
eloped with the child to Kenya
without her consent and that
he was too young to be taken
away from his mother.
The woman said she had
single-handedly brought up
the child after his father van-
ished and was surprised when
during a visit, he oered to
take him out and was never
seen again.

A
Baringo family has
been forced to eat a
cat to dull their hun-
ger pangs.
Ms Jepteker Nguriawiang,
35, her two-year-old daughter
and 80-year-old mother Je-
poterit Yaranyang had gone
without food for many days,
prompting them to turn to the
neighbours black and white
pet as food at the weekend.
During a visit to Kakoghit
Village in Lokis sub-loca-
tion, Tiaty sub-county, the
Nation team saw the bones
and the tail as the cats only
remains.
I feared we would die of
hunger, so I captured the cat
and hit it on the head several
times. I then skinned it. We
then roasted the meat and
enjoyed the meal, said the
frail Ms Nguriawiang.
Urgent need
Hunger has stalked the
area for many months.
The cats owner, Ms
Chepochegheh Todongira,
told the Nation that she was
worried when her pet disap-
peared.
We searched for it every-
where but could not nd it. It
was only after interrogating
the family that they admitted
feeding on it due to hunger.
This is sad. The Govern-
ment should urgently send
relief food.
We hear the food is being
distributed in towns. Nobody
has bothered to address the
plight of those in remote
areas, said Ms Todongira,
who reported the incident to
the area chief.
Ms Yaranyang is too weak
to move. Residents fear she
will die of hunger if she does
not get food soon.

Stephen Maklap said the last
time relief food reached the
area was last year and that
the supply was from the World
Food Programme.
Mr Maklap said three pri-
mary schools in the area had
not reopened since the pupils
had moved away with their
parents in search of food.

P
ublic universities face
another indenite clo-
sure if their workers are
not paid allowances they say
the institutions owe them by
the end of this month.
Last evening, the Univer-
sities Academic Sta Union
(Uasu), Kenya Universities
Sta Union (Kusu) and the
Kenya Union of Domestic,
Hotels, Education Institu-
tions, Hospitals and Allied
Workers (Kudheiha, said they
will not go to work if they do
not receive the cheque by
May 30.
Public universities sta
unionshereby put both the
government and university
managements on notice that
if by May 30, 2014 members
will not have been paid fully
their new basic salaries, house
allowances and arrears sta
will down their tools, Mr
Charles Mukhwaya, Kusu
Secretary-General announced
in a statement.
It will be unfortunate and
unwarranted to inconvenience
our students and their dear
parents to cause universities
to close. But does sta have
a choice? No (Sic)! Let the
concerned parties avert this
unnecessary crisis. The un-
ions accuse the government
and university leadership of
delaying to honour an agree-
ment reached in March, to
pay allowances totalling
Sh3.9 billion.
In March this year, more
than 500,000 regular and
self-sponsored students were
forced to miss out on classes
for ten days after the unions
went on strike over what
they said was the diversion
by vice-chancellors of money
meant for allowances to other
programmes. The strike went
on after the Ministry of Edu-
cation failed to broker a deal
on how the institutions should
pay the money. The dispute
arose from a collective bar-
gaining agreement (CBA) of
Sh7.8 billion reached in 2012
for the universities to pay their
sta the allowances.
The money was to be
released in two phases of
Sh3.9 billion each by the
government. Universities
were then supposed to pay
the workers.

Let counties
print Bills,
says Speaker
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

The national government has
been asked to devolve the func-
tion of printing Bills and gazette
notices to counties.
The long process at the Govern-
ment Printer was slowing down
functions of county assemblies,
Kisumu Speaker Anne Adul said
yesterday.
Members of the County As-
sembly are nding it dicult to
pass more Bills yet the ones that
have been passed have not yet been
printed, she said.
Created jam
Ms Adul said several proposed
laws were still at the Govern-
ment Printer, thus aecting their
work.
All the 47 counties are looking
upon the National Government to
print their Bills, creating a jam,
she said.
Ms Adul, who was speaking in
Kisumu, said the County Assembly
had eight pending Bills.
She said most of the pending
Bills must be subjected to public
participation.
Other proposed laws are still
being debated while others are
stuck at the Government Print-
ers she said.

LAGOS, Tuesday
M
anned US aircraft were
in the skies above Ni-
geria today in the hunt
for more than 200 missing
schoolgirls, almost a month
after they were kidnapped by
Islamist militants.
Meanwhile, the commander
of US forces in Africa has own
to Nigeria to discuss how Wash-
ington can help the government
in Abuja trace the kidnapped
schoolgirls
A defence ocial told AFP
today that General David
Rodriguez, head of US Africa
Command, is discussing US
assistance for the search as well
as overall cooperation.
The four-star general arrived
on Monday for talks with his
Nigerian counterparts and also
was due to meet US diplomats
and military ocers, said the of-
cial, who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
In another development, Ni-
geria today said it was willing to
talk to Boko Haram militants.
The governor of Nigerias
northeastern Borno state,
Kashim Shettima, confirmed
that all of the girls shown in
the latest video released by
the militant Islamist group had
been identied as students in
the school attacked in Chibok
last month.
President Goodluck Jonathan
on Tuesday requested a six-
month extension to the state
of emergency declared in Borno
and two neighbouring states a
year ago because of the daunt-
ing security situation.
Special duties minister
Taminu Turaki restated the
Nigerian governments position
that it was open to negotia-
tions on ending Boko Harams
increasingly bloody five-year
insurgency.
Turaki, who last year headed
a committee tasked with pur-
suing an amnesty pact with
some of the groups ghters,
told AFP: Nigeria has always
been willing to dialogue with
the insurgents.
We are willing to carry that
dialogue on any issue, including
the girls kidnapped in Chibok,
because certainly we are not
going to say that (the abduc-
tion) is not an issue.
Nigerias interior minister
had previously dismissed a
suggestion from Boko Haram
leader Abubakar Shekau in a
video released on Monday that
the girls could be swapped for
imprisoned militants.
But the military later said it
would explore all options to
end the crisis.
Today, the United States said
manned ISR (intelligence, sur-
veillance and reconnaissance)
aircraft were being own and
it had also shared commercial
satellite imagery as part of the
rescue eort. On Monday the
militants released a new video
purporting to show some of
them. With electricity supply
intermittent in Chibok, eorts
were underway for the miss-
ing girls parents to identify
their daughters in the video, in
which Boko Haram leader Abu-
bakar Shekau claimed they had
converted to Islam.
The co-ordinator of the Bring
Back Our Girls campaign, which
has helped drive international
pressure for action through
social media and global street
protests, said three parents had
seen their daughters on screen.
Three parents have identied
their daughters in the video, Ms
Hadiza Bala Usman told AFP
from the Nigerian capital Abuja.
(Borno) Governor (Kashim)
Shettima has now organised a
screening in (the state capital)
Maiduguri with audio and is
bringing parents from Chibok
to try to identify more girls.
British, French and Israeli
specialists are also providing
specialist help to Nigeria, whose
initial response to the kidnapping
was criticised as slow. China has
also oered help.
US intelligence experts were
combing through every detail
of the video for clues that might
help ongoing eorts to secure
the release of the girls, State
Department spokeswoman Jen
Psaki said in Washington.
Nigerias military is comb-
ing the Sambisa forest former
nature reserve in Borno state,
where Boko Haram camps and
arms dumps have previously
been found.
Concern has been expressed,
though, that the girls may have
been spilt into smaller groups
and may have been taken into
neighbouring Chad or Cameroon
from where Boko Haram has pre-
viously launched attacks.
Nigers President Mahamadou
Issoufou meanwhile described
the kidnapping as hideous
and said people in the Muslim-
majority country were moved by
the girls plight. (AFP)

Pistorius
mental
health in
question
PRETORIA, Tuesday
Oscar Pistoriuss murder trial
debated his mental state today, as
the athlete faced a possible stint
in a psychiatric hospital to estab-
lish if he has a general anxiety
disorder.
Under cross-examination today,
defence psychiatrist Meryll Vorster
told the court that Pistoriuss
anxiety would have given him a
heightened fear of crime.
During two months of trial,
Pistoriuss lawyers have sought to
portray the world-famous athlete
as almost manically obsessed with
safety after a dicult childhood
and in the face of high crime levels
in South Africa.
The defence wants to show that
contributed to Pistoriuss reaction
when on Valentines Day last year
he allegedly believed his girlfriend
to be an intruder and shot her dead
through a locked toilet door.
Ms Vorster testied that Pis-
torius had a general anxiety
disorder that had an impact on
his personal and sexual relation-
ships. Did he function socially,
yes, one would say he did, she
said, but not optimally.
He took on new friends in order
perhaps to avoid being lonely, said
Vorster, he was simply in their
company as to not feel alone.
Earlier in the trial, Pistoriuss
former friend Darren Fresco and
ex-girlfriend Samantha Taylor
testied for the state, saying the
27-year-old runner shot a gun out
of a moving cars sunroof.
When Fresco finished giving
his evidence, he took a seat with
Steenkamp supporters in the front
row of the public gallery. (AFP)

JUBA, Tuesday
S
outh Sudan President Salva Kiir
says his countrys rst General
Election have been postponed
for up to three years due to objections
of Western nations.
The worlds newest state gained inde-
pendence from Sudan in July 2011 after
more than two decades of civil war and
was due to hold its rst polls in 2015.
President Kiir said it was essential
to hold the elections as scheduled to
answer claims of dictatorship that his
rivals have labelled against him.
I had said that we go for elections
in 2015 as it had been scheduled. Let
these people stand, let whoever wants
to contest stand, we will all stand, Mr
Kiir said, referring to rebel leader Dr
Riek Machar and a group 11 former
political detainees.
The Westerners know that their
groups will all lose. No one will win
votes. So they say no, postpone it
for three years because they know
that within the three years, they will
provide these groups with money to
come and buy your votes; to come and
buy your votes so you can vote for the
groups, he said.
There is no problem. If you are
given money, take it, it is your right.
Take it and do the right thing. When we
contested with the National Congress
here in Juba and all over South Sudan
in 2010, what happened? They brought
money to the south here, but I told you
then at Garang Mausoleum that these
money is yours. If it is given to you,
take it and give us your vote. If the
same thing happens, we will tell you
that message.
Former Vice President turned rebel
leader Dr Riek Machar has described
the election postponement as an em-
barrassment.
Mr Kiir says the three-year pre-elec-
tion period will now be used to conduct
a population census and hold national
healing and reconciliation.
Mr Kiir was elected in April 2010 as

Kiir blames the West for poll delay
CRITICISED| The Westerners know that their groups will all lose. No one will win votes
Spark: President Kiir
has blamed the failed
December 15, 2013 coup
plot that came after
months of bickering in
the ruling party on Mr
Machar, who denied the
allegation.
Flop: A peace deal the
two principals signed
in Addis Ababa last Fri-
day has so far opped
as ghting continued
between the rebels and
government troops on
several fronts.
DISPUTE
Coup came after party bickering
President of the then regional Govern-
ment of Southern Sudan and named
Mr Machar, a controversial politician
with a wide ethnic backing, his vice
president.
At independence, Mr Kiir became
the newest countrys President, with
Mr Machar remaining his deputy.
However, enduring differences
between the two came to the fore.
Mr Machar, who was critical of the
government and had launched a bid
to oust his boss was sacked in a Cabinet
reshue in July 2013.
After ve months of bickering and
blackmailing within the ruling party
where Mr Machar is Kiirs deputy, an
attempted coup shook Juba on Decem-
ber 15, 2013.

MOGADISHU, Tuesday
A
frican Union forces in
Somalia yesterday said a
cowardly bomb attack the
previous day had killed 19 people,
nearly double the number initially
reported.
The car bomb exploded on
Monday outside a bank on a busy
street in the southern Somali town
of Baidoa.
The blast killed 19 innocent
victims and destroyed valuable
property, the AU force said in a
statement, updating an earlier toll
from the police of 10.
The town, which is under the
control of government troops
backed by AU soldiers, was
wrested from the Al-Qaeda-linked
al-Shabaab rebels two years ago.
No one has claimed responsibil-
ity for the attack, but the Shebab
have carried out a string of bomb-
ings and vowed to overthrow the
war-torn countrys internationally-
backed but fragile government.
This was a cowardly attack,
which highlights the vicious na-
ture of the enemy who continues
to target innocent civilians, AU
envoy to Somalia Mahamat Saleh
Annadif said.
The Shebab have been driven
out of xed positions in Somalias
major towns by the UN-mandated
AU force, but still regularly launch
attacks that include bombings
and guerrilla-style raids. Recent
al-Shabaab attacks have targeted
key areas of government or the se-
curity forces, in an apparent bid
to discredit claims by the authori-
ties that they are winning the war
against the Islamist ghters.
Continued conict, compounded
by poor rains and funding short-
falls, are threatening the few gains
made in Somalia since an extreme
famine less than three years ago,
with the United Nations and aid
agencies warning the troubled
country could be sliding back
into a food crisis.
Some 250,000 people, around
half of them young children, died
in Somalia during the 2011 fam-
ine, according to the UN, which
has acknowledged it should have
done more to prevent the tragedy.

after a yacht and a dinghy carrying them towards Greek shores capsized.
Eighteen people were found dead on board the 10-metre yacht.
A NEW START | Migrants arrive in Athens Mogae against
harassment of
sex workers
BY MTOKOZISI DUBE
NATION Correspondent
in Gaborone

Former Botswana president Festus
Mogae has expressed strong views
against Botswanas policy that saw a
blitz on sex workers.
Botswanas purge on sex workers
started last November with at least 30
women arrested as part of a campaign
to curb the inux of sex workers and
homosexuals in the southern African
country.
Speaking at a National Aids Council
(NAC) event, Mr Mogae said the
harassment of these two groups was
improper.
I have spoken before that
harassment over these groups by
the police has not worked and will
not work. I am totally against such
conduct by the police in todays era,
said Mr Mogae.
Mogae has in the past been accused
of condoning gays and sex workers
but insists that is not the case. He
explained: My position has been
informed by the fact that our attitudes
must be guided by the situations rather
than the other way round. I say all this
in the name of HIV/Aids.
It is clear that the current leadership
does not agree with the National Aids
Council on these matters, but we
keep on playing our role as advisers
regardless of whether our advice is
taken or rejected, he said.
Great deals at ridiculous prices!

NEW YORK, Tuesday
A
New York hotel said yes-
terday its investigating
how surveillance video
of Beyonces sister Solange
Knowles attacking brother-in-
law Jay-Z in an elevator wound
up on an Internet gossip site.
The fuzzy, silent black-
and-white video posted on
TMZ.com shows Solange
kicking and hitting Jay-Z at
the Standard hotel, site of
an after-party following the
glamorous Met Gala in New
York on May 5.
A bodyguard is seen trying
to restrain the clearly agitated
27-year-old singer (rap artiste),
whose 32-year-old megastar
sister stood largely in the cor-
ner alongside her 44-year-old
husband of six years.
The trio can be recognised
by the outfits they wore
earlier that night at the Met-
ropolitan Museum fashion gala
Solange in a pink Phillip Lim
dress, Beyonce in a sheer black
Givenchy Haute Couture gown
and Jay-Z in a white tuxedo
jacket.
In an email to AFP, the
Standard hotel in lower Man-
hattan expressed outrage
that the three and half minute
video had gone viral, and it
threatened disciplinary and
legal action once it nds who
made it public.
We are shocked and disap-
pointed that there was a clear
breach of our security system
and the condentiality that we
count on providing our guests,
it said. We are investigating
with the utmost urgency the
circumstances surround-
ing the situation and, as is
our customary practice, will
discipline and prosecute the
individuals involved to our
fullest capacity.
Did not return calls
Neither Solange, Beyonce
or Jay-Z mentioned the in-
cident on their respective
Twitter feeds Monday, and
representatives did not im-
mediately return calls asking
for comment. Solange, whose
new album is due out later
this year, performed at the
Coachella music festival in
California last month, where
Beyonce joined her on stage,
delighting fans.
The Met Gala after-party
took place at the Standards
exclusive rooftop Top of
the Standard lounge bet-
ter known among New York
night owls as the Boom Boom
Room. (AFP)

Nato using Ukraine crisis to
boost appeal, says Russia
MOSCOW, Tuesday
Russias Foreign Ministry
has accused Nato of using the
crisis in Ukraine to boost its
appeal to members and justify
its existence by rallying them
against an imaginary threat.
Russia and the West are
locked in a Cold War-style
stand-off over Ukraine and
Nato Secretary General An-
ders Fogh Rasmussen has
told Moscow to pull back
troops from the Ukrainian
border or face consequences
if they intervene.
Nato believes Russia has
deployed 40,000 troops near
Ukraines border, although
Moscow says they have been
pulled back. The crisis has
deepened following a move
by two regions, Donetsk and
Luhansk, to declare their
independence following a
referendum on Sunday.
Russia annexed Ukraines
southern autonomous repub-
lic of Crimea after a disputed
referendum in March.
Constant accusations
The Russian ministry said
Rasmussens remarks were
confrontational and that in
recent months he had not
offered any constructive
agenda for Ukraine, adding
that it was adding to instabil-
ity in the region.
The constant accusations
against us by the secretary
general convince us that the
alliance is trying to use the
crisis in Ukraine to rally its
ranks in the face of an imagi-
nary external threat to Nato
members and to strengthen
demand for the alliance ... in
the 21st century, it said.
Nato has suspended all
practical military and civilian
cooperation with Russia, al-
though it said political dialogue
could continue at ambassador
level or higher, since Russia in-
corporated Ukraines Crimea
region last month.
Meanwhile, six Ukrainian
soldiers were killed in a rebel
ambush between the insur-
gent bastions of Slavyansk
and Kramatorsk in the east of
the country today, the defence
ministry said. (AFP, Agencies)

From the

post... he fell
to the level
Tel Aviv
district court
judge David
Rosen
TEL AVIV, Tuesday
A
n Israeli court today sen-
tenced ex-premier Ehud
Olmert to six years in
prison for bribery, making him
the most senior politician in the
countrys history to face jail for
corruption.
Tel Aviv district court judge
David Rosen also handed Mr Ol-
mert a ne of one million shekels
(Ksh25m) for his involvement in
one of Israels worst-ever corrup-
tion scandals, a transcript of the
verdict said.
His lawyer, Mr Eli Zohar, told
reporters outside the courtroom
that his client would appeal.
You heard what Ehud Olmert
said at the pre-sentence hearings.
He did not take a bribe, did not
receive a bribe and as far as he
feels he still sees himself as in-
nocent. With us he will go to
the Supreme Court to appeal.
The 68-year-old, who was
convicted six weeks ago on two
charges of taking bribes, is the
rst former prime minister of
Israel looking at a prison term
for corruption.
This is someone who stood
at the pinnacle, the defendant
served as prime minister of
Israel, Judge Rosen said.
From the highest and most
respected post... he fell to the
level of someone convicted
of contemptible crimes, the
judge said in passing sentence
Tuesday. A public ocial who
accepts bribes is tantamount to
a traitor, he said, adding a nd-
ing of moral turpitude moral
untness to hold public oce.
Following a two-year trial, Ol-
mert was convicted on March 31
of bribes to the tune of 560,000
shekels (now $160,000/116,000
euros) with the judge also saying
he had committed perjury.
Even after his conviction, Mr
Olmert protested his innocence,
saying he had never taken bribes.
His lawyers were expected to ap-
peal the sentence.
Judge Rosen said the prison
sentence would begin on Sep-
tember 1.
It is a dicult day when a
former prime minister is sen-
tenced, Justice Minister Tzipi
Livni, who served as Olmerts
deputy premier and foreign
minister, told reporters.
I have complete trust in the
court and law enforcement of-
cials, and the public should
as well.
The trial of Mr Olmert and
15 other defendants, which
lasted more than two years,
was linked to the construction
of Jerusalems massive Holyland
residential complex when Olmert
served as the citys mayor.
In 2010, Olmert was named
the key suspect in what came
to be known as the Holyland
aair on suspicion he received
hundreds of thousands of shekels
for helping developers get the
project past various legal and
planning obstacles. (AFP)

The Cabinet Secretary for Industriali-

Adan Mohammed, said the ministry had
almost completed plans to have busi-
nesses registered quickly.
We have mapped out together with
other government agencies and, in one to
two months, it will be possible to register
a business in 24 hours. We want over
100,000 businesses to be registered in
a year but we are doing just a fraction
of this, he said.
Brieng the media on the plans the
government is making to improve the
business climate, he said President
Kenyatta had given rm instructions
to various government bodies to ensure
potential investors can register their
businesses in a much shorter time.
Registration of businesses currently
takes more than 30 days.
He said the ongoing digitisation of
land documents was part of the wider
plan to ensure registration of prop-
erty and businesses is made faster
and easier.

Kenya at No. 129 out of 186 countries

which was seven ranks below the 122nd

direct investment as a result of some of
the challenges that potential investors
are faced with, adding that the contribu-
tion of the manufacturing sector to the
national wealth had remained at nine
per cent over several years.
He said this should be increased to

However, Mr Mohammed warned
that some new levies on businesses

Shun expats
for local skill,
sub-Saharan
rms urged
BY NATION REPORTER
Local institutions have been urged to
source skills from African countries to cut
spending on expatriates.
According to the 2013 sub-Saharan tal-
ent trends and practices survey prepared
by Ernst & Young (EY), local companies
with heavy reliance on expatriates are
likely to face nancial diculties as the
need to ll existing skills gaps in the re-
gion heightens.
Reliance on expatriates is problematic
and needs to be rethought. Traditionally,
the easiest way for companies to source
scarce skills is to rely on global talent pools.
However, the high premiums that expatri-
ates attract become a source of tension
within companies.
There is an increased desire to source
skills from other African countries or the re-
turning Africa diaspora, says the report.
The findings come at a time when
companies across the region are faced
with increasing demands from respective
governments to hire more local employees,
a directive mostly targeted at multination-
als.
The study was carried out in 224 com-
panies across 23 countries within the
sub-Saharan region, which, according to
EY, represented 392,000 employees. Kenya
was included.
The report says most expatriates earn
thrice as much as their counterparts. Pay
costs may be lower if indigenous rms hire
expatriates from local or regional markets
than from multinationals global labour
markets, according to EY.
The study says one in four multinationals
expects to increase recruitment from other
African nations, compared with one in nine
indigenous rms.
One third of the respondents in eastern
sub-Saharan Africa expect future recruits
to come from among those returning to
Africa from the diaspora.
More than half of the rms sampled
anticipate hiring fewer expatriates, es-
pecially in the technical and professional
stang categories.
Recruiting from other African countries
expected to increase from 10 per cent
to 17 per cent, and from the returning
diaspora folks from 18 per cent to 27 per
cent.

T
he tender for the con-
struction of a pipeline
connecting Turkanas oil
elds to Lamu Port will now
be delayed to incorporate an
extension to Uganda and South
Sudan.
This will also push the com-
pletion date beyond the earlier
scheduled November 2016.
The initial design was for
Kenya alone. We have now
slowed down a bit to accommo-
date South Sudan and Uganda,
said Energy and Petroleum Cabi-
net Secretary Davis Chirchir.
The initial design was for a
pipeline running from Lamu to
Lokichar, but is now expected
to cover 1,500 kilometres more
to Hoima near Lake Albert in
western Uganda.
We are looking for a common
transaction adviser to harmonise
the new designs with the feasi-
bility designs already done for
the Uganda section, added
the CS.
The planned construction of
the Lamu-Lokichar pipeline had
gained momentum after Kenyan
crude oil resources were said to
have attained commercial thresh-
olds, with the country seeking to
lay out the infrastructure ahead
of commercial production in the
2017/8 year as per the ministrys
production plan.
The new expanded crude
oil pipeline is expected to be
completed in 2017/18, as the fa-
cility has now been integrated
into the Lapsset infrastructure
projects.
Lapsset, at its inception,
required a pipeline to be con-
structed from Lamu to the
oilelds of South Sudan and a
new renery put up at Isiolo in
northern Kenya, with the capac-
ity to process 120,000 barrels
per day of crude oil.
The pipelines export capacity
and length will be determined
by the design proposals to be
forwarded by the pipeline engi-
neering construction rms.
Toyotas construction subsidi-
ary, Toyota Tsusho Corporation,
has drawn up preliminary
designs for the project on the
basis of Lappset, with several
components in addition to the
pipeline.

and to be laid along the Lamu

Transport (Lapsset) corridor
from Lamu to Turkana.
It is to be linked to Ugandas
oil elds and later extended to
South Sudan and Ethiopia.
For Uganda, with about 3 bil-
lion barrels of crude oil, build-
ing pipelines, a renery and
other assets to cost between
$15 billion and $22bn.

capacity to oer virtual business
services to all the 47 counties
from a central point.
The Mainframe Linux system is
a data centre that supports mil-
lions of users at the same time,
reducing time spent transferring
data and energy consumed by
many machines.
Comes in handy
This machine targets the new
county systems in Kenya. It comes
in handy for government and busi-
nesses such as banks, said Ms
Leah Parks, director of sales and
enterprise computing, IBM Middle
East and Africa.
It reduces costs immensely and
comes precongured with specic
commands for specic needs.
Ms Parks said this was the rst
innovation by IBM Africa lab to
help transform the local business
economy.
The Sh30 million worth sys-
tem has the capacity of more than
1,000 computers combined.
According to Mr Peter Aroni, an
IBM business partner, Kenya so
far has only one Mainframe Linux
system, which will be retained by
the research lab.

SHANGHAI, Tuesday
C
hinas yuan will one
day compete for a place
alongside the mighty
dollar as a reserve currency
hoarded by central banks,
analysts say, as US Treasury
chief Jacob Lew visits Beijing
to push for faster reform.
Communist authorities
tightly control the rate of the
yuan also known as the
renminbi (RMB) or peoples
money and limit capital
flows into and out of the
country.
But China already the
worlds second largest econ-
omy is gradually moving to
implement nancial reforms.
It is, for instance, making
its exchange rate more ex-
ible, and is opening its capital
account for investment and
nancial transactions, rather
than trade-related ones.
Slow pace of change
The slow pace of change,
though, has frustrated Wash-
ington. The currency will be
on the agenda as Mr Lew dis-
cusses progress on Chinas
reform agenda with Premier
Li Keqiang and other top of-
cials.
Clearly the renminbi has
traction. If you look at any
measure of the renminbis
internationalisation... the
trajectory looks very sharp,
said Mr Eswar Prasad, eco-
nomics professor at Cornell
University.
Mr Prasad is also the au-
thor of The Dollar Trap, which
argues that the ubiquitous
greenback is an inescapable
necessity for now. Eorts so far
have focused on transforming
Chinas special administrative
region of Hong Kong into the
worlds centre of oshore
yuan trading, where banks take
deposits and nancial institu-
tions issue bonds denominated
in the currency.
An agreement announced
last month will let Chinese
invest in Hong Kongs stock
market using yuan, while a
free-trade zone launched in the
commercial hub of Shanghai
last year aims to pilot reforms
for full convertibility of the
currency.
If China moves forward
with its nancial market and
economic reforms, the ren-
minbi will become a viable,
possibly signicant, reserve
currency, said Mr Prasad,
previously head of the In-
ternational Monetary Funds
China division.
Despite the fact that the
yuan cannot be freely bought
and sold, some central banks
already hold it in their reserves,
including Chile, Nigeria, and
South Korea, he said coun-
tries with signicant economic
relations with China, one of the
worlds biggest traders.
Even Japan, with which
political relations are deeply
strained, holds some.
Less volatile currency
Beijings control on its value
mean that the yuan is one of
the worlds less volatile cur-
rencies. It has had a fixed
value until mid-2005, steady
appreciation for the next three
years, a two-year pause for the
global nancial crisis, and then
gradual strengthening against
the dollar until 2014.
This year, though, it has lost
nearly three per cent, closing
on Monday at 6.2369 to $1,
with analysts attributing the
fall to deliberate central bank
action to chase speculative
funds betting on continued ap-
preciation out of the market.
Exchange rate control is
one of the ruling Communist
Partys key tools to maintain
its economic grip.
Analysts say the central
bank guides the currency in
the direction it wants while
imposing restrictions on its
daily movement, limiting the
eect of market forces.
Its important that China
demonstrates a renewed com-
mitment to move to a more
market-determined exchange
rate, which will help provide
for more balanced domestic
growth and global trade, Mr
Lew said on Tuesday. (AFP)

CHANGE | Yuan to soon rival US dollar as reserve currency
Currency to top
the agenda as US
Treasury chief visits
the second largest
economy this week
The yuans fall this year has
upset major trading partners,
who believe the currency is
vastly undervalued.
US Treasury says the de-
cline raised particularly seri-
ous concerns.
Chinese ocials defended
the currencys movements as
normal.
Analysts expect the yuan
to recover to end at on the
year, while pressures for fu-
ture appreciation continue.

BlackBerry ghts back with new phone
JAKARTA, Tuesday
BlackBerry today launched
a new budget handset in Indo-
nesia, one of its last bastions,
a major step in the ailing
smartphone makers fight-
back against titans Samsung
and Apple.
The Z3, designed with Indo-
nesia in mind but expected to
be introduced to other emerg-
ing markets later, is the rst
new BlackBerry phone since
chief executive John Chen
took the helm of the crisis-hit
company in November.
The handset is also the rst
to be produced from the Ca-
nadian rms partnership with
Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn,
which makes gadgets for Apple,
and is a key test of whether the
new strategy will work.
BlackBerry believes the
Indonesian model whose
full name is the Z3 Jakarta
Edition will be a hit in
Southeast Asias biggest
economy.
The company maintains a
loyal following here, despite
losing ground in recent years,
thanks in part to the popu-
larity of its BBM messaging
service.
Like many other global
companies, BlackBerry is also
targeting Indonesia due to its
huge population of 250 mil-
lion and its rapidly emerging
middle class, who increasingly
have cash to spend on gadgets
following years of sustained
economic growth.
From conception to delivery,
the BlackBerry Z3, Jakarta Edi-
tion, was designed specically
with our Indonesian customers
in mind, Mr Chen said during
a visit to the Indonesian capital
to launch the phone.
The phone will be available in
shops from Thursday and will
cost 2,199,000 rupiah ($190,
about Sh16,000), BlackBerry
said in a statement.
But analysts think it is al-
ready too late for a comeback
by the company that pioneered
the modern smartphone culture
but has been unable to keep up
with competition from Apples
iPhone and handsets using the
Google Android operating sys-
tem. (AFP)

L
eBron James scored 49 points
to carry the Miami Heat to a
102-96 victory over Brooklyn
on Monday and within one win of
advancing in the NBA playos.
James, a four-time NBA Most
Valuable Player, matched his career
playo high as two-time defending
champions Miami took a command-
ing three-games-to-one lead in the
best-of-seven Eastern Conference
second-round series.
The Heat will try to wrap up the
series when they host game ve on
Wednesday. Jamess mammoth eort
kept the Heat on pace with the tena-
cious Nets throughout, but it was
team-mate Chris Bosh who hit a
crucial three-pointer from the right
corner with 57.3 seconds left to play
that gave Miami the lead for good.
(Jamess) biggest play of the game
after scoring that many points was
getting o the ball, Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said of the play that ended
with Boshs key trey.
In Los Angeles, Darren Collison
scored 12 of 18 points in the fourth
quarter as the LA Clippers rallied for
a 101-99 win over Oklahoma City in
game four of their NBA playo series.
The unheralded Collinson shot seven-
of-12 from the eld in Sundays victory,
which knotted the best-of-seven West-
ern Conference second-round series
at two games apiece.
Oklahoma City led by 22 points in
the rst quarter and by 16 points in the
nal period, but they couldnt contain
the hard-charging Clippers when it
mattered the most. We had to score
and get stops, and we did that, Clip-
pers head coach Doc Rivers said. Its
now a three-game series.
In Washington, Paul George and
Roy Hibbert combined for 43 second
half points as the Indiana Pacers put
the Washington Wizards on the brink
of elimination with a 95-92 win.
The Wizards led by 19 points in the
third quarter and appeared to be en
route to levelling the best-of-seven

Conference series 3-1.
Prevented a Spurs sweep
I was just in a rhythm and it carried
out through the whole game, said
George, who nished with 39 points
and 12 rebounds. I was able to knock
some shots down. Elsewhere, Damian
Lillard scored 25 points as the Port-
land Trail Blazers stayed alive in the

LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 points

game four of the Western Conference
second-round playo series prevented
a Spurs sweep.
Theyll head back to San Antonio

Spurs still up 3-1 and looking to wrap

Los Angeles
Embattled Los Angeles Clippers
owner Donald Sterlings televised
apology aimed at cooling a racism
row only fueled the re Monday
when he took a vicious swipe at
NBA icon Magic Johnson.
Sterling, already banned for life
by NBA commissioner Adam Silver,
apologized profusely for the bigoted
comments that have the league at-
tempting to strip him of ownership
of the club.
But in his interview with CNNs
Anderson Cooper, which aired on
Monday night, Sterling also criti-
cized Johnson a beloved gure in
Los Angeles as a poor role model
because he contracted HIV.
He also suggested Johnson hasnt
used his wealth to help the African-
American community. He acts so
holy, Sterling said of Johnson. He
does nothing. Its all talk.
The attack was sharp enough to
draw a statement from Silver, who
said the league was pressing ahead
with eorts to remove Sterling as
expeditiously as possible.
I just read a transcript of Donald
Sterlings interview with Anderson
Cooper and while Magic Johnson
doesnt need me to, I feel compelled
on behalf of the NBA family to apol-
ogize to him that he continues to be
dragged into this situation and be
degraded by such a malicious and
personal attack, Silver said.
The NBA Board of Governors is
continuing with its process to re-
move Mr. Sterling as expeditiously
as possible.
Sterlings interview with Cooper
marked his rst lengthy response
to the scandal that broke two weeks
ago. Im not a racist, Sterling said.
I made a terrible mistake. Im here
to apologize.
Asked by CNN why he waited
until now to make his rst public
comments, Sterling said he has
been emotionally distraught. The
reason its hard for me, very hard
for me, is that Im wrong, Sterling
said. I caused the problem. I dont
know how to correct it. (AFP)

constructed Thika Greens Golf
course host the rst leg of the
2014 KCB Golf Tour.
At stake is Sh500,000 for the
pros and a number of prizes for
the amateurs. The event will this
year feature ve events with a
whopping Sh5.7m up for grabs.
This is will be the rst pros
tournament the course is hosting
but the third amateur event to
take place there.
The course is good but long.
One has to do a 13km of walk but
we will see how to tackle it, said
senior pro Elisha Kasuku, one of
the pros who played a practise
round yesterday at the course.
Others present were Greg
Snow, who will soon be y-
ing to Europe for the European
Challenge Tour, Vet Labs Brian
Njoroge and Sigonas Ganeev
Giddie.
A month ago, the course staged
the Maina Kageni International
tournament which attracted over
200 amateurs. Since then, the
management at Thika Greens
Golf Estate has made a lot of ef-
forts to improve conditions in
readiness for this weekends tour-
nament, among others.
At least 200 amateurs had
been listed by yesterday. We
have made some improvements
to ensure the course is in good
condition. We are now looking
forward for to the tournament,
Thika Greens CEO Charles Kibiru
said.
Most of the professionals will
be using the event as part of their
preparations for international
tournaments and therefore, the
kind of scores they will return will
be the point of focus.

Big shame as Gor Mahia neglects injured defender Nasio
BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com
Gor Mahia right back Solomon
Nasio is in dire need of medical at-
tention to salvage his career.
The 28-year-old Nasio broke his
nose last year during Gors 2-1 win
over Karuturi Sports in Naivasha.
His last appearance for Gor was on
March 30 in their 2-1 loss to Bandari
in Mombasa, where he was withdrawn
after he began bleeding. According to
Nasio, the surgery will cost at least
Sh150,000, which he cannot aord.
My attempts to get help from the
club have been futile as the manage-
ment has been avoiding me. They
promised to help but nothing has
been done so far, Nasio told Daily
Nation Sport.
It has been a dicult time for me.
I was injured in a club assignment but
Im yet to get any help. Ive been in
and out of the Kenya National Hospital
for check-ups and this is becoming
unbearable for me. The doctors recom-
mended corrective surgery last year
but Im yet to undergo the procedure
due to lack of money.
Nasio says he experiences pain when
breathing. At times I bleed and thats
why I cant train, Nasio laments.
And with the June transfer window
fast approaching, Nasio fears that Gor
may drop him. This means my life
will get even more complicated and
my career is at risk.
My team-mates tried to sup-
port me by sacricing their winning
bonuses. However, Gor Mahia man-
agement stopped this claiming it
would embarrass the club, he says.
Contacted, club secretary-general
Chris Omondi said they were aware
of the situation but the clubs nan-
cial position could not allow them to
help Nasio.

or the rst time since the in-

Kenyan will be playing in the
Fifa World Cup. And its not just any
other World Cup, its Brazil - the de
facto home of the beautiful game.
Divock Origi, whose parents are
Kenyan, will be playing for Belgium,
a country where the teenager was born

Origi, played professional football.
While unveiling his squad, Belgium

There was a sense of relief at
cash-strapped Gor Mahia when
Chase Bank sealed a Sh15 million
health insurance cover for play-
ers and members of the technical
bench yesterday.
The cover will benet the 30
players and seven members of the
technical bench and their families.
The deal, the rst in Gors his-
tory, is expected to uplift spirits as
the club has been struggling with
nances since the expiry of their
sponsorship deal with Brookside.
The players and ocials have
been catering for their own medi-
cal bills.
Gor rst vice-chairman, John
Pesa, said the cover was a step in
the right direction.
It is something we want to
build on going forward, Pesa said.
These sentiments were shared by
Chase Bank head of Medical In-
surance Cynthia Okonya.
The unveiling of the deal also
coincided with the launch of
members recruitment drive which
targets up to Sh100 million an-
nually.
Pesa said they were targeting a
fan base estimated at three million
to ease nancial burden.
The clubs monthly wage bill is
Sh2.7 million and lack of sponsors
saw the Gor pay players in two in-
stalments in March and April.
Gate collections have been
used in catering for training al-
lowances. In last weekends 2-1
home win over Sofapaka, the team
collected Sh1.1 million. It pocketed
Sh645,000 after paying for the
ground and security charges.
Register as members
Club secretary-general Chris
Omondi said time had come for
fans and members to boost the
clubs nances.
We are urging Kenyans who
want to identify with this club to
register as members as we seek
to make the players comfortable,
Omondi said.
They are our foundation and
that is why we want them to be
part of these eorts targeted at
transforming this club, he added.
During the ceremony, several
fans signed for membership after
they were presented with the club
cards after paying Sh1, 000 regis-
tration fee.

done in partnership with Chase

Cote dIvoire icon Didier Drogba
(right) hopes to exit the international
football stage in a blaze of glory at the
2014 World Cup.
That would mean the Elephants
claiming at least a top-two nish in a
Group C with no clear favourite and
reaching the knockout stage for the rst
time. Unlucky 2006 and 2010 group
draws condemned the West Africans to
nishing third behind Argentina and the
Netherlands in Germany and third be-
hind Brazil and Portugal in South Africa.
But xtures against Colombia, Japan and
Greece present 36-year-old Drogba with an
excellent opportunity to retire on a high.
The Ivorians have been branded Africa
Cup of Nations chokers, having failed to
justify being title favourites at ve consecu-
tive tournaments. However, they proved
stubborn World Cup opponents, holding
Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Portugal 0-0 in
2010 and going down by one-goal margins
to Argentina and the Dutch. Competing
at the previous two tournaments was
very dicult, Drogba, who now plays for
Galatasaray in Turkey, admitted to Ivorian
reporters.
We have a realistic chance to do bet-
ter in Brazil and get past the rst round,
added the 99-cap star, who has scored 63
goals for the Elephants. Sabri Lamouchi

Y
aya Toure has added a new
weapon to his armoury and
that spells danger for World
Cup rivals of Cote dIvoire.
Once an occasional scorer, the Afri-
can Footballer of the Year has become
a hotshot in Manchester Citys Premier
League winning team.
Toure scored a career-best 20 goals
in the title race just decided many
from free kicks with others created
from surges through mideld.
He was given a standing ovation
when substituted just before the end
of Manchesters 2-0 win over West
Ham United on Sunday that sealed
the title.
An English Premier League hat-
trick against Fulham in March
was the first of a career that
has taken Toure from Abidjan
to north-west England via Bel-
gium, Ukraine, Greece, France
and Spain. He hit two powerfully
struck penalties and a superb,
medium-range curled shot to
reach 20.
Not every midelder scores
20 goals in a season and Yaya
achieved that feat before the end
of March, boasted City manager
Manuel Pellegrini.
Yaya Toure is a very important
player, he said of the 31-year-old box-
to-box star.
Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lam-
ouchi would endorse that view
with Toure assuming an in-
creasingly important role
for a national team popularly
known as the Elephants.
Kind draw
Father time is fast catching up

elder brother of Yaya, Di-
dier Zokora and iconic
striker Didier Drogba,

fered continuous disappointment in
the seemingly less demanding Africa
Cup of Nations. Title favourites
ahead of ve consecutive African
tournaments from 2006, the best
the Elephants managed was two
sets of runners-up medals.
The Nations Cup also oered some
sobering lessons for Toure, who could
again be voted African footballer of
the year for 2014.
Toure has been voted fotballer
of the year three consecutive times
by national coaches based on the
continent.
Annoyed many Nigerian fans
But his 2013 success annoyed many
Nigerian football fans, who believed
runner-up John Obi Mikel, who rarely
starts for his club Chelsea, should
have topped the poll.
Toure began his career at
famous Abidjan nursery ASEC
Mimosas and played for Beveren,
Metalurh Donetsk, Olympiakos and
Monaco before joining Barcelona.
The 1.91-metre giant never com-
manded a regular place, though, and
with coach Pep Guardiola preferring
Sergio Busquets as a mideld
enforcer, Toure moved in 2010
to City.
At rst it was the powerful
runs and precision passing
that drew praise, and now the goal
trickle has turned into a steady ow.
Combined with the fancy foot-
work of Gervinho and the predatory
instincts of Drogba and Wilfried Bony,
it oers Ivory Coast hope of a last-16
place in Brazil. (AFP)

Students look at a slit lamp used to examine the interior and

BY NATION REPORTER

A
prosecution witness
in Deputy President
William Rutos case
at the ICC withdrew after
he was oered Sh5 million,
prosecutor Fatou Bensouda
claims.
Another claimed that he
had been kidnapped and
forced to sign, at gunpoint,
an adavit to the ICC re-
canting all the evidence he
had given to aid the pros-
ecution.
In documents submitted
to the International Crimi-
nal Court, Ms Bensouda says
all the eight witnesses she
wants forced to testify were
either under the ICC protec-
tion programme managed by
the Victims and Witnesses
Unit or the one run by her
oce.
Despite making statements
and being part of the 46
witnesses she had lined up
against Mr Ruto and former
journalist Joshua arap Sang,
they capitulated and told her
between March and August
last year that they would not
be testifying.
The eight were labelled
insider witnesses. The
prosecution had planned to
use their testimony to link
Mr Ruto and Mr Sang to the
post-election violence.
They would have been
expected to speak about
meetings they are said to
have attended with the ac-
cused, where plans were
made to commit crimes.
They were also to give
details of how the two were
allegedly involved in the
crimes.
Ms Bensouda had told
the court that some of the
witnesses were likely to
implicate themselves in the
cases. They would have been
seen as having participated in
some of the crimes Mr Ruto
and Mr Sang are alleged to
have planned.
Witness 16 returned to
Kenya on July 15, last year,
ostensibly to renew his
passport.
He disappeared on July
29, without informing his
minders, said Ms Bensouda
in an application to the court
in December.
Her oce is reported to
have contacted the man twice
in August but he refused to
state whether he would
continue cooperating with
the ICC.
Ms Bensouda says the
man never withdrew formally
from the case or recant his
statements. He said he was
remaining in Kenya for the
sake of his children and was
unhappy with the ICC.
The prosecutor claims that
the man was oered Sh5 mil-
lion in July after he returned
to Kenya. In his statements
to ocers from Ms Bensou-
das oce, the man said he
attended two meetings in
which Mr Ruto took part.

Botched operations
As doctors insist that ambulance-chasing lawyers are blowing
medical malpractice out of proportion, patients reply that care givers
are becoming careless. The truth lies somewhere in between
BY VERAH OKEYO

vokeyo@ke.nationmedia.com
I
n late 2008, a little baby named
Nelly developed pneumonia. Her
mother took her to Kenyatta
National Hospital, where, upon
examination, a doctor advised that
she be injected with some medication
in the arm. A nurse did it and mother
and daughter went home.
Days later, Baby Nelly would lose
that arm in a medical scandal that
irked the entire nation. Her mother
said at the time that she had noticed
that something was not right with
the babys arm a few days after the
injection, so she went back to KNH
to ask what was happening.
The babys arm was rotting, doctors
told her. Somehow, the injection had
severed key supply veins in the arm,
making it virtually dead while still
attached to the baby. Doctors fought
to save it, but it was too late. In 2010,
at the height of media coverage of the
story, Baby Nelly was transferred to
Kijabe Mission Hospital, where her arm
was amputated. However, she did not
live beyond her second birthday, dying
that year from complications arising
from the surgery.
The case was reported to the
doctors regulator, the Kenya Medical
Practitioners and Dentists Board
(KMPDB).
Three years later, some rather
shocking news was sent to Nairobi
newsrooms from Mwingi. Mary
Ndanu, 26, had been admitted to a
local hospital for a caesarean section.
When her appointment with the scalpel
arrived, she was wheeled into the
theatre and cut open. Midway through
the surgery, the operating doctor got
an irresistible urge to check into his
local pub for a couple of drinks.
Ndanu, cut open and heavily
anaesthetised, never made it out of
the theatre. An autopsy report by
pathologist Georey Mutuma revealed
that she had died from anaemia caused
by excessive bleeding as her belly had
been left open for too long after the
removal of her dead baby.
Again, the case was reported to
KMPDB.
Last month, a 28-year-old woman
offered to tell us the story of her
husbands death at the hands of a
medical team, but on condition that
we do not reveal her identity because
of family disagreements regarding
the matter.
Her 35-year-old husband, she
says, was checked into a prestigious
private medical facility in Nakuru in
January this year after he complained
of recurring chest pain. The man, an
athlete, was discharged three days
later and put on antibiotics. Then
from that moment, a string of what
his wife calls serious mistakes started
happening.
The man, it later turned out, had
contracted pneumonia, yet no doctor
mentioned this to her despite the bills
piling up to hundreds of thousands of
shillings. He was in and out of hospital
and during the third month since his
rst visit to the doctors, he collapsed
and died.
His death, as an autopsy report
would later reveal, was both preceded
and hastened by some diagnostic
blunders and clinical negligence
that made patients safety a game of
chess in a hospital with an otherwise
excellent reputation.
The man was being treated for acute
bronchitis, so chances of saving his
life were missed because the doctor
did not make a referral when he did
not respond to the medication that
had been prescribed for him in the
rst few days.
His wife had watched helplessly
as her husbands health slowly
deteriorated from mild breathing
problems to depending on an oxygen
mask to survive. At their Lanet home
recently, the widow looked at a family
portrait of happy moments with her
husband, then in a little, tearful
murmur, said: He was very excited
about our rst pregnancy. He would
make these jokes about how hed enrol
the baby we were expecting in a football
academy if it turned out to be a boy.
I was barely in my second trimester
when he started saving for the baby...
now he is no more.
Unlike Baby Nelly and Mary Ndanus
deaths, she never approached KMPDB
for punitive action against the hospital.
Her in-laws, however, negotiated an
out-of-court settlement with the
hospital.
Deaths are not unexpected in
hospitals and in Kenya, as in many
countries, the numbers are seldom
monitored. That, however, does not
mean that medical malpractices, simply
known in the industry as medmals,
should be hushed up. While these three
cases only highlight a problem in the
medical sector that KMPDB says it is
addressing, many more are feared to
be covered up through suspect hospital
policies and outright fraud.
The cases may range from subtle
accusations of overcharging to serious
mistakes that may expose the errant
doctor to criminal charges, such as the
manslaughter allegations preferred
against the Mwingi doctor believed
to have caused the death of Ndanu.

Deaths are not unexpected in hospitals and

not mean that medical malpractices, simply
known in the industry as medmals, should be
hushed up. Are ambulance-chasing lawyers
making a killing in the process?
ones, or those who survive with an
injury because of a doctors negligence,
accuse medical professionals of
betraying their trust, while journalists,
predictably, have drawn up sensational
and as many doctors would say in
their own defence misleading
statistics about medmal.
That is why the debate about such
malpractices in Kenya dominated a
meeting of medical practitioners and
other stakeholders in the medical eld
during the 42nd industry scientic
conference held in Kili towards the
end of last month.
Slaughterhouses
Shortage of doctors and poor
facilities, among many other factors
that doctors say are beyond their
control, are a recipe for disaster
and have turned hospitals into
what one commentator equated to
slaughterhouses.
Such alarmist comparisons, says Dr
Elly Nyaim, the chairman of the Kenya
Medical Association board, serve only
to blow the situation out of proportion
as these cases have always existed,
but it is only now that they are in the
public domain, probably because of
rampant activism in the eld.
Ambulance-chasing lawyers,
laments Dr Nyaim, have seen a
window of opportunity to fleece
doctors and are making a killing
out of it. But Prof Kiama Wangai, a
doctor and lawyer, says such scenarios
have only become common because
Kenyans have become increasingly
litigious about medmal as the level
of awareness about their rights rises
due to growing literacy.
Keen to assure the public that the
medical eld in Kenya is not under
siege, Dr Nyaim says that, like any
other profession, there are a few
doctors who commit mistakes, but
insists that the bodies regulating
doctors do not let them get away with
their errors. Where proper treatment is
given and death occurs due to disease
and its complications, he says, one
should not claim that doctors and
hospitals were negligent.
Data about medmal indicates
that KMPDB gets more complaints
from obstetric and gynaecological
patients than any other branch of
medicine, accounting for 27 per cent
of reported malpractices compared to
nancial overcharging and failure to
refer patients, at 16 and 12 per cent,
respectively. Other problems involved
failure to refer and withholding
patients data.
KMPDBs statistical analysis of
complaints reported from 2007 to
2012 indicates that 70 per cent of
all complaints received by the board
were about private hospitals, yet
these attend to smaller numbers of
Kenyans compared to public and
mission facilities, which accounted for
16 and 13 per cent of alleged medmal,
respectively. In total, the body received
742 complaints in the ve-year period
to 2012 and 40 between January and
March this year.
Careful not to absolve errant doctors
of blame in certain cases of medmal,
Dr Nyaim decries the pathetic
state of health care in Kenya, which
he says contributes to the occurrence
of negligence.
For instance, there are currently only
8,705 doctors and 1,046 dentists to
attend to the over 43 million Kenyans
in the country. If calculated against
the entire nations population, one
doctor attends to a little more than
5,000 people while a dentist takes care
of 42,000 patients, far below the World

The religious inclination of some
health care providers, coupled with
a growing fear of litigation in the
profession, are denying women access
to reproductive health services,
particularly safe abortion.
Mothers are also regularly
admonished by medical
attendants and statements
such as you had your fun, now
carry the consequences or why do
you give birth like a dog? as well as
a deliberate delay of attention for up
to two days are common in Kenyas
hospitals.
Monicah Ogutu, the director
of Kisumu Medical Education
Trust, ranks unsafe abortion
as one of the big ve that kill
women, while Prof Boaz Omondi-
Nyunya, the in-charge
of the Kenya Medical
Associations reproductive
health committee, says
training alone has not
enabled health care service
providers to divorce
their religious and moral
attitudes from their
professional duties.
A study released this
month by the Reproductive
Health and Rights Alliance,
which polled residents in
Mathare Valley, Nairobi
indicated that, while
62.5 per cent of medical
practitioners had adequate
capacity to provide quality
contraceptive services
in their clinics, only 10
per cent were ready to provide those
services.
Other studies by the Population
Council, Prof Omondi-Nyunya says, have
shown that patients suer abuse at the
hands of health care providers and that
the mistreatment is higher in obstetric
and gynaecological cases.
Ms Ogutu of KMET says health care
providers often turn women away when
they seek contraception, only for the
women to seek services from quacks
and backstreet hospitals.
When they eventually come back
to us, the complications arising from
unsafe abortions are life-threatening
we remove pieces of metal from their
private parts. Some even die.
At the moment, data from the Ministry
of Health indicates that unsafely
induced abortions account for as
much as 35 per cent of maternal
mortality and at least 50 per cent
of gynaecological admissions in
Kenya.
Most health care providers know
that the Constitutions Article 43
allows patients access to quality
health care, including emergency aid
in case of post-abortion cases,
but the more than the 300
doctors who congregated in
Kili last month acknowledged
that there is a still a policy
vacuum.
Article 26(4), which states
that a woman may procure
an abortion under the expert
advice of a medic in case the
mothers life is threatened, has
been interpreted wrongly by
many people, the doctors said.
Prof Omondi-Nyunya
agrees: We cannot interpret
the Constitution for Christians,
Muslims, traditionalists, and
every religion in Kenya... When
a woman comes to my clinic
almost dying from bleeding,
my main aim will be saving
her life regardless of how sinful I think
premarital sex is.
The doctors recommended that
there should be a policy to unpack
the Constitution and clearly show
what a health care provider should do
about a woman who seeks abortion,
and hence eliminate room for diverse
interpretation.
coverstory coverstory coverstory coverstory
badchoices
Health Organisation-recommended 1:
1,000 ratio.
To make matters worse, public
hospitals, where the bulk of Kenyans
seek medical attention, only have
2,000 doctors. Consider, also, many
doctors have left active practice for
other interests such as research, have
died, or have own abroad for greener
pastures.
Medical equipment in public health
facilities in the country are also in a
bad state, some more than 20 years old
or double their lifespan and, therefore,
prone to frequent breakdowns. And the
government is doing little to make the
situation better.
Consider the allocation to the
health sector in the last national
budget Sh34.7 billion out of the
required Sh160 billion, or 5.7 per cent
of the Sh1.6 trillion national budget
which Health Cabinet secretary
James Macharia said was grossly
inadequate.
The 5.7 per cent was a product of
reductions four years in a row from
2010: In 2010, Sh7.20 out of every
Sh100 was spent on health care, but
in 2011 the gure fell to Sh6.10 and
Sh5.9 in 2012. Much of this money,
observers have said, was spent on
curative medicine and very little on
infrastructure.
As the relationship between
doctors and patients is further
strained, concerns have been raised
about the ecacy of medical training
institutions. While there is no empirical
data to support the belief that younger
doctors commit most of the oences,
some older members have expressed
fears about the casual way in which
youthful medics approach medicine.
Prof George Magoha, the chairman
of KMPDB, told the delegates at the
conference in Kili last month that
young doctors have a morbid fear
to ask for a second opinion, so they
follow their hunches.
Instructions over the phone
He also accused his colleagues
in private practice of charging their
patients exorbitantly and not being
available when needed. Some of
you give instructions over the phone
to nurses! he exclaimed.
Njeri Maingi, who lost a relative after
a doctor with no training in oncology
operated on a cancerous growth in her
breast in Mombasa, cites poor training
as a factor in the rise in incompetent
doctors.
Every doctor who goes into the
medical profession has a duty to act
with a reasonable degree of care and
skill, she says. But how can they
maintain such standards of practice
when they get their training from all
these substandard medical training
schools coming up?
But Prof Magoha insists that the
problem lies elsewhere as well, not
just inside the classrooms of medical
training institutions. While it may be
FYI
Article 43 (1) (a) and (2) of the
Constitution guarantees every
person the highest attainable
standard of health, inclusive of
health care services, maternal
and reproductive health care, and
the right to emergency medical
treatment.
Conversely, the Constitutions
Article 46 (1) (c), (d), (2) and
(3) provide for a right to be
compensated for loss or injury
arising from defects in goods and
services.
The latter may include, but is
not limited to, unlicensed or fake
pharmaceutical products or medical
services oered by unlicensed
medical practitioners.
You made your bed, now lie in it:
The experiences of labouring women
hard to measure standards of hospital
care, we can say condently that each
of these schools that have come up
are taken through a systematic four-
stage process of inspection before they
can be given the green light to enrol
medical students.
Such explanations as inadequate
facilities, exhaustion, and carelessness,
however, remain anecdotal. But some
doctors and hospitals in which
clinical negligence has occurred have
in the recent past found themselves at
the punitive end of the law
For instance, the Nairobi Womens
Hospital was recently ordered by the
High Court to pay Sh8.8 million as
compensation for the loss of income
of 29-year-old Lucy Njoki, who died
from extensive lacerations to her
uterus after complications during
childbirth. The newborn also died
shortly afterwards.
Prof Kiama Wangai, the lawyer-
doctor who attributes the high number
of reported cases of medmal to growing
literacy levels, explains how the judge
arrived at the Sh8.8 million sum: The
High Court used a multiplier of 31 to
determine the value of lost years to
the age of 60, and the judge may have
put into consideration the deceaseds
salary, multiplied that by 12 months,
and then multiplied the product with
the remaining years till one is 60.
Added to the money, Prof Wangai
further explains, the court awards
funeral expenses, loss, and the
emotional damage the negligence may
have caused the bereaved family.
But do not go rushing to the
courts yet, he cautions, because
even in hospitals where one patient
died, hundreds walked out healthy,
and so, apart from a good lawyer,
you must have a very high index of
suspicion and proof that the doctor
acted negligently.
There may be other issues involved;
maybe the patient did not give the
doctor all the information about his or
her medical history or he or she sought
treatment late and you know the
patient has a right to refuse treatment,
and when that happens the doctor has
to obey, says Prof Wangai.
The complainant must also prove
that there were serious errors in the
medical treatment which no competent
doctor would have made. This must
be proved by the expert testimony of
a doctor.
You have to show that the doctor
was not reasonably skilful or competent
as he should be, and that this alleged
incompetence harmed you. You must
also demonstrate that those errors
caused or contributed to the injury
or the unfortunate circumstances
you are complaining of.
In conclusion, the patient must
prove how the incompetence cost
him materially, such as lost wages
or enjoyment of life, and how those
injuries have changed his life. This, too,
is done through expert testimony.
When a woman
comes to my
clinic almost
dying from
bleeding, my
main aim will
be saving her
life regardless
of how sinful I
think premarital
sex is.

Hi Baraza,
Kindly delve into the pros and cons
of driving a 1998 or 1999 Land Rover
Freelander. Kindly also highlight any
known aws in the car.
Pius
Hi,
The Land Rover Freelander left
the factory with 136 known faults,
which were exposed to Britains Car
magazine in an espionage-style leak
by a company insider. These problems
ranged from the a) mechanical: Power
steering system failures, shearing
driveshafts that would render the car
permanently 2WD, malfunctional dis,
the manual transmission popping out
of gear when in second whenever a
hard left run was taken, to b) build
quality: The upholstery was so badly
installed that it blocked the HVAC
vents. Dealers were asked to cut holes
in the upholstery just so the demister
vents could do some venting and
thus work properly, to c) structural:
In some dicult o-road situations,
wheel articulation would lead the body
to twist and ex to a point where the
windscreen would crack and the doors
would be jammed shut.
Do I need to go on? This car was
developed and launched when Rover
was broke, and it shows. Rover was in
a hurry to compete with the Toyota
RAV4, and the result was a half-
baked job. The face-lifted Freelander
1 addresses most of these issues,
though. If you must have a Freelander
1, get a later version.
Baraza,
I cannot believe that people
would criticise the work you do. The
questions people ask are genuine. I
am in Afghanistan and your column
is like music to my ears. Back to
business:
1. The Toyota Alphard has safety
features which include a blind corner
monitor, radar cruise control, and a
lane-monitoring system. How reliable
are these features and do they aect
fuel eciency?
2. What happens if any of these
systems fail? Will the car be able to
perform eectively, especially if the
lane monitoring system fails? Will the
car maintain stability?

Hi Andrew,
I would agree with you, but you,
too, must agree that sometimes the
back-and-forth of those questions
and answers can get repetitive and
monotonous. That would explain my
rant during that weeks Car Clinic. My
reputation was built around doing
comprehensive, honest-to-God, witty
and entertaining car reviews as well
as incisive, thought-out, and pertinent
analyses and commentaries on various
automotive issues. Car Clinic came
after. That name and reputation is
international, if I may say so myself, a
fact further proved by your stating that
you are in Afghanistan.
This does not mean that I am killing
o Car Clinic; far from it. I know the
eect it has on readers, which is why
it is back here. Now, let us get down to
business:
1. The reliability of these features
depends on the manufacturer in
question. They work perfectly in cars
like the Mercedes S Class and top-run
Volvo saloons, but, incidentally, not
at their press launches. Somebody
almost always forgets to turn them on
in the demonstrator vehicles, resulting
in the exact kind of accidents they are
trying to avoid. I do not know about
the ones in the Alphard; I have never
used them, but seeing how they made
it into production, I would assume they
are reliable.
They also aect fuel eciency, but
not in the way that you think. Their
presence, not their use, aects fuel
economy. You see, these things need
hardware to work, and hardware is
made of matter, and matter is anything
that occupies space and has weight.
This necessitates a bigger vehicle,
which is obviously heavier and has
a slightly worse aerodynamic prole
than a smaller one. Then there is the
hardware itself weighing in to up
the tonnage of the said vehicle. A
heavy, aerodynamically compromised
vehicle is thirstier than its diametric
opposite. You might be better o in a
car without these systems. If they are
installed, use them. Shutting them o
is not going to help economy at all.
Then, if they fail, the worst that
will happen is that you will get a
whole slew of warning lights blinking,
ashing, and beeping all over your
dashboard. It will not aect stability.
The other downside is that you will
be relegated to being a regular driver;
you will have to monitor blind corners
with your own eyes, use a combination
of the accelerator and brake pedals to
maintain a certain speed, and use your
eyes and the steering wheel to stay
in your lane. In other words, drive the
way you were taught at driving school.
These systems do not control the car,
you do.
Hi,
I have seen quite a number of
Caldina GT-4 (Turbo) models on our
roads and have heard that the vehicle
is very fast and can give a Subaru STi
a run for its money. If it is true, I might
save up and buy one, considering that
it is a Toyota and hence has cheaper
spare parts and better fuel economy.
Please do a review on it.
2. I have noticed that Toyota do not
produce cars with twin-cam specs
anymore. What advantages did twin-
cam cars have and what replaced
them?
3. Recently, Jake asked for a suitable
location for a drag strip. Well, there is
a disused airstrip with a serviceable
tarmac runway here in Nyahururu
town which would be very good for a
drag strip. You can check it out.
Robert.
Greetings,
1. The GT4 may be fast, but I am
not sure it will give an STi a run for
its money (though this might depend
on which inept, overgrown child is
driving the STi). STis are scary-fast
(in a straight line). I am also not sure
if the parts are cheaper. The GT4 is
a performance version of a regular
vehicle, which means that, more
likely than not, it will be chock-full of
performance parts from TRD (Toyota
Racing Development). TRD parts are
not cheap. The economy front is also
doubtful: If it has to keep up with an
STi, then expect consumption like an
STi, and then some. I did do a review
on a Caldina back in 2010, when this
column was still new, but it was not a
GT4. Trust me, when I get my hands
on the GT4, the review will nd its way
into these pages.
2. What you mean here is Toyota
does not produce cars with stickers
and decals written Twin-Cam on
them. They still manufacture twin-cam
engines. The Caldina GT4s 3S-GTE
engine IS a twin-cam.

The advantages of twin-cam are
theoretical. They allow the engineer to
better place the inlet and exhaust valves
at a more suitable angle that allows for
high rpm engine operation and maximises
power while at the same time keeping
reciprocating masses (mostly the cam
lobes and the valves) to a minimum.
Practically, this only works in high-
performance engines.
3. I will be sure to check this place out.
Who knows, I might show up in a Caldina
GT4 with a twin-cam engine
Hi Baraza,
You have a way with words and great
advice on motoring.
My question is whether it is possible
to add ABS braking to a vehicle
manufactured without/before ABS.
I have an almost-out-of-teenage (19 years
old) 2.5L Petrol VW T4 Caravelle Van
(yeah, the type popularised by former
president Daniel arap Moi in the 90s).
Great machine, handles like a small car
and boy, is it come! A bit hard on the
pocket at about 8km/l but I am not
complaining.
Hello,
It is possible to add ABS braking to
an ABS-less car, but in the end, you will
discover that you have remanufactured
the entire braking system. The costs and
labour involved, especially ne tuning the
ABS settings, installing the sensors, getting
the ECU to recognise the addition of ABS
etc, are best borne by a factory/company,
not an individual.
So, no, it is not worth the eort. Even
though possible (to some extent), you are
unlikely to succeed.
Dear Baraza,
You came very close to recommending
the VW Golf MK IV to a female reader in
the April 22 edition of Car Clinic. After
much research, I believe I have the
solution to the gearbox woes. First, as
much as possible try and get a manual
Golf. Most will be from the local franchise
and not as shiny as the Japanese imports
with recent number plates but similar
mileage.
Second, since the ex-Japan Golfs
are the majority in the market and
predominantly automatic, the key to
maintaining a good gearbox is to ensure
that the transmission uid is properly
lled as well as regularly changed with
VW synthetic transmission oil spec
75W90 from the dealer at every engine
oil service. If this is not done, the selector
shaft seal will leak the uid level. The
5th and 4th gears, being the highest, will
be unlubricated and damaged, leading
to dreaded shudders, jerks, and
violent shifts when the car has warmed
from cold. If not caught in time, it is a
horrendously expensive gearbox rebuild.
The manuals, especially of GTis, need just
as important care, unlike their Toyota and
Nissan counterparts that can go for years
with the same transmission uid.
The second and deadly gearbox killer is
that all post-2007 and pre-1982 VW Golfs,
Jetta, and Polo used soft metal rivets in
the gearbox to connect the dierential to
the 5th gear. These shear o and break
over time, leading to fragments and holes
in gearbox casings. When the gearbox
starts whirring/whining, it is a sure sign
that the bearings are on their last legs.
The soft metal rivets should be replaced
with a nuts-and-bolts kit to permanently
solve this imminent failure. These
remedies will ensure that the otherwise
perfect MK IV engine is mated to a slick
gearbox to get the class-leading driving
experience from the well-engineered
suspension and electronic stability
German wizardry. The MK V Golf in its
fancier frock covering, the ulcer-inducing
FSI engine, and DSG gearbox (robotised
manual gearshifts) are a topic for another
day, as is the MK VI with a supercharged
and turbocharged TSI engine mooted at a
German beerfest in Wolfsburg.
VW Golf Fan Club Member
Dear VW Golf Fan Club Member,
You are truly a member of the VW Golf
Fan Club. I would never have guessed
some of the stu you just said, especially
the part about using soft rivets to connect
the di and the gearbox (I believe this is
what we call a transaxle). Your input is
well appreciated.
Dear Baraza,
I drive a Golf MK V 1.6 FSI and would
like to upgrade to a new model. I have
looked at their TSI line-up and would
like to settle for the 1.2 TSI. However,
my friends are discouraging me because
it has a turbo and DSG gearbox. The
current one has a DSG gearbox and I have
come to appreciate the magic of DSG.
When I look at the technology front, it
seems most companies in Europe and
America are coupling turbos with petrol
engines for fuel eciency. Think of Fords
ecoboost, Volvo, Peugeot Mercedes Benz,
VW, etc. The Japanese have only started
coupling the VVTis and V-TECs with turbo
just recently. Is it by choice or are they
lagging behind?
Back to my VW: Should I be wary of
the TSI engine or take the plunge? I love
improvements and am ready to take a
leap of faith.
Hi,
I think the reasons your friends are
discouraging you from dabbling in DSG
and turbos is that when it comes to crunch
time, your wallet will see re.
The Japanese have also been using
turbos for a while, but in extremes. They
either applied them to extremely high
performance cars to maximise power and
minimise weight (Lancer Evo, Subaru STi,
Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GTR et al)
or in very tiny, tax-dodge Kei cars with
only 660cc to extract a little more power
from what is otherwise a lawn mower
with seats. So I would say they eschewed
turbos from mainstream cars by choice,
not inability to deploy.
Omitting the turbo alleviates some
problems such as cooling, complexity, and
costs (the three Cs, eh? *Wink). Nobody
has ever complained that Japanese cars
are more expensive and less reliable than
their European counterparts, have they?
There is your answer.

Doesnt this remind you, he said, pointing
at the school children, of the old days when
our own children went to school here?
Those were good days, Jaduong. Now
they are grown and gone, said Grandmother,
adjusting the load on her head. She liked
calling Grandfather Jaduong, old man, as a
title of respect for the man she had lived with
for over forty years.
These children are the age of our
grandchildren, said Grandfather. Then in a
thoughtful manner he added, I wonder how
our children are raising them.
When they left the village path to go into
their compound, the sun was sitting on the
horizon looking soft and nice like a huge
cake.
I got one letter in our post oce box,
announced Grandfather when they got into
the house.
Who is it from? I hope its from Akinyi,
our malaika, said Grandmother with girlish
excitement.
I hope its from our son, Ochieng Ja Sunga,
said Grandfather with a broad smile. He
opened the bag and shed out the envelope.
They both looked at it and smiled.
Behind them, the sun was nearly swallowed
by the distant horizon and darkness was
setting in.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I too lost my wife less than a year
ago. There are times I think I can-
not carry on, but gradually, the pain
gets bearable, though it does not go
away.
KW
I am still in great pain after losing my
parents and my brother. Take heart,
ONeal.
Rey Rock
I lost my mother exactly one month
after you lost your wife. The pain is
as though I just got the news. Thank
you for your encouraging words. May
Psalms 116: 7 encourage you during
this painful moment.
Catherine Michuki
What a touching story. At times, eve-
rything seems to tumble down, but
even then, we ought to be strong,
positive, and hang in there to see
how the story will end.
Donald Nelson
ONeal, you are a strong man. I met
you almost a month ago at a func-
tion taking photographs and I could
not believe that you are the same
who had lost his wife. I admired the
spirit in you, ever smiling and deter-
mined to continue living positively. I
agree with you that we should never
take any minor ailment for granted.
If someone complains consistently,
have thorough tests done.
staysoft
This is a sad story, but very encour-
aging. It is tough to live without a
loved one, but with the grace of God,
it is possible.
Joyce Musonga
This story brought tears to my eyes.
The one thing I know is that however
cruel death may be, it will never
separate us from our loved ones be-
cause their memories reign in us.
Moureen
I am sorry for your loss, ONeal. I am
also glad that you are a man of God,
having known you from my high
school days, and therefore condent
that you are putting all your trust in
Him.
Jemima Jefwa
Thanks for sharing your story be-
cause most people think that when
you have a headache, all you need to
do is take painkillers, yet it may be a
symptom of a serious condition.
Monicah
ONeal, Tina left a gap in your life,
but also very many fond memories.
You will be forever in our hearts,
Tina.
Gladys Mogaka Mariana
Karimi, you nailed it!
Hi Karimi, I read your article in last
weeks Living and just had to share
it with my male colleagues in the of-
ce. It is hilarious and very true.
Ednah Kiome
As much as compliments make
women feel beautiful, loved, or spe-
cial, do not get used to them.
Peter Mutwiri

I had to take the time to say I loved
your article, and especially because
you say that you believe marriage is
worth it I do too. It was the rst
time I read your column and cannot
wait for the next one.

BY MICHAEL THUO
maikthuo82@yahoo.com
Growing up, I knew that there were
two extremes: Good and bad. There was
never a middle path.
My Sunday school teacher used to say,
Every child who sins will burn in hell.
Sin, in my young mind, constituted taking
my mothers loose change to buy sweets,
beating up another child, or disobeying
my elders. I never questioned this truism
as this was what my mind understood.
The words reverberate in my mind to this
date. Anything that contravenes Gods law
is a sin.
I remember my mother thrashing me
for petty oences such as eating an extra
chapati tucked away in the cupboard for
my playful sister. She would go out to play
without eating and I would linger in the
kitchen, waiting for the perfect time to eat
her food.
Justication
My understanding of sin changed as I ap-
proached adulthood. I found an adulterated
use of the words like sin, truth, innocence,
and hell-re damnation. Everyone appeared
immune to my Sunday school teachers tru-
ism. I was perplexed. People lied, fought
one another, and did many nasty things,
yet there was always a justication: I did
it because she deserved it.
He lied to me, so I had to teach him a
lesson.
I dont care what they think about it as
long as my conscience is clear.
Out goes childhood innocence, enter
world of justication. I approached this
stage with trepidation, tripping several
times to the allure of a less condemning
mindset, but the words of my teacher still
rang in my subconscious. I felt naked every
minute I went against my childhood teach-
ings, but as I approached my 20th birthday,
I no longer felt the guilt. In its place was the
feeling for justication.
Archaic
Our children do not learn much about
hell-re damnation because this is prob-
ably archaic. Instead, they learn about the
great men and women of yore like David
and Samson. Nothing wrong with this, ex-
cept that I do not know how their mindsets
would be if you told them about burning in
hell. I am now 30 and I see many changes
in the way our children perceive matters of
heaven and hell. The reverence and fear I
had for the former and latter respectively
seem lost today. Perhaps we choose a softer
landing for our children and cushion them
from the harsh realities of our sinful ac-
tions, or maybe we are only inculcating in
them what we ourselves subscribe to.
I realised one more thing: The more I
chastised my guilt conscience, the more I
found it ne and justiable. It starts with
wearing a crumpled shirt. You look at
yourself in the mirror and know you should
not step out of the door looking like that.
You try to straighten out the creases. No
improvement. But you have no time to do
the ironing, so you justify your decision.
The more you stare at the mirror, the more
appealing you start to look.
It is not that bad, you tell yourself. I
have met people who look worse, you reas-
sure yourself before sauntering out.
The perception of bad is reinforced in
our national psyche. Our minds distort the
truth until it starts seeming okay to kill,
maim, steal, cheat on your spouse the
list is long. The tragedy is that no one sees
anything wrong with this. Those who see
that there is something wrong are labelled
spineless. There is a need for a national
outcry for our beloved innocence to be
restored.
Let us bring back the childhood outlook
we had of the fear of sin. When a child tells
you that he will not steal because Daddy
says it is wrong, that is unblemished in-
nocence. How many among us today would
stand up and be counted for stopping in
their tracks when they were about to do
wrong? You are your own jury.

Tracking partners: If you asked me,
this is not a very good idea. In fact, sev-
eral people have told me that they would
walk out of a relationship if they learned
that they are being tracked by their part-
ners. It suggests mistrust and insecurity
and, in most cases, it exacerbates, rather
than solve the problem.
However, technology has its good uses.
Helps you stay in touch: Let me begin
where I ended with tracking applica-
tions. Much has been said about them
and in my view, this is an important
development in a world where mobile
phones have also become lethal items
in the hands of criminals. Being able to
know the whereabouts of loved ones is,
therefore, important as long as your moti-
vation is their safety, not to stalk them.
Spice up your relationship: Kerner,
the counsellor I quoted earlier, says that
sexting, when the persons involved are
partners, makes the relationship more
exciting. This is supported by research
ndings published in the journal earlier
mentioned. The report shows that use of
texts can increase intimacy by making
partners more available and expanding
their repertoire of connection. This con-
rms that more communication between
partners is good for the relationship and
the mobile phone, therefore, becomes a
real ally, especially for those in long-dis-
tance relationships.
Obviously, technology is here to stay,
and so are relationships. We can either
use technology to make our relationships
better or we can use it to destroy them.
What will you choose?
relationships
Is communication technology helping or
damaging our relationships?
Technological innovations reect the
progress of our society, but sometimes
we experience what sociologists call a
cultural lag when technology develops
faster than the norms that govern us. I
think we are experiencing this challenge
right now. Think about it. New gadgets are
churned out every other day, even before
we get a chance to adjust to those already
in use. Even more worrying is that we do
not have mechanisms in place to regulate
their use.
Here are some negative aspects of
technology:
Kills quality time: A common complaint
is that it eats away at shared time. Today,
instead of giving each other undivided
attention, you will see couples busy on
their phones, yet their intention was
to have an intimate time together over
dinner. Social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and a host
of others can easily replace the presence
of your spouse if you are not disciplined in
when you use them. A research from the
University of Essex, cited by Ian Kerner,
a sexuality counsellor who writes for CNN
Health, says that people who engaged
in personal discussions when a cell phone
was nearby, even if neither was actually
using it, reported lower relationship
quality and less trust for their partner.
That should elicit concern because
it suggests that a phone acts as a third
person, interfering with our time together.
Does that explain why, even though one
does not intend to use it, one still holds
their handset close, occasionally looking
at it, even when they are switched o?
Lowers quality of communication:
This is another area that has been widely
discussed, particularly in regard to text
messages. Such communication can dis-
tort messages, sometimes with disastrous
consequences. It also lacks the benet
of non-verbal visual language that adds
more value to communication.
Online indelity: The other problem is
online indelity, where people who should
not be doing it spend time sexting with
others. Some even do this when in bed
with their partners or while having a sup-
posedly romantic dinner.
Is your phone a third wheel in your relationship?
SHADRACK N. KIRUNGA
If you cannot do without it and always have it in your hand,
constantly checking email or chatting online even when
on a date or day out with family, it might as well be your

When Lourdes Walusala
found out that she was pregnant
two years ago, she and her hus-
band could hardly wait to hold
their rst child.
Lourdes was especially happy.
I was excited about becoming
a mother; it was the start of a new
chapter in my life. I began eating
right, exercising mildly, relaxing,
and was determined not to let
anything stress me. I was focused
on having a healthy, smooth preg-
nancy, she says.
She nicknamed her child, a
boy, Sunshine and would often
talk or sing to him as she went
about her day-to-day activities.
At the time, she was a Third Year
communication student at Moi
Universitys Nairobi campus.
Rather than make her feel over-
whelmed, the pregnancy seemed
to give her renewed energy to do
better in her studies.
When an answer was elusive
during an exam, I would rub my
belly and ask: Baby, what did
we study yesterday? and the
answers would come to me, she
jokes.
Around her 24th
week of pregnancy,
she noticed that her
legs were swelling. She
informed her doctor about
this during her next antenatal
appointment. After routine tests,
her blood pressure was found to
be high and she was immediately
put on medication to help lower
it. During a follow-up visit, her
blood pressure was still higher
than normal and to be on the
safe side, her doctor put her on a
week-long bed rest.
Five weeks later, Lourdes one
day woke up feeling troubled.
Even though her baby was active,
she had an unsettling feeling she
could not put a nger on. She de-
cided to consult her doctor, who
then sent her for an ultrasound,
her rst.
I was happy to see my son
for the rst time. There he was,
relaxed, with his ngers inside his
mouth, she remembers.
She was relieved when the doc-
tor informed her that her baby
was in perfect condition. How-
ever, because her blood pressure
was still high, he recommended
bed rest for another two weeks.
The following morning, period-
like pains woke Lourdes up. Un-
sure what that meant, she went
to see her doctor, an established
consultant gynaecologist with
his own private practice. He as-
sured her that all was well, that
the period pains were normal
contractions.
Even though I was very wor-
ried, the doctor dismissed my
concerns, explaining that I was
only worried because it was my
rst pregnancy. He did not ex-
amine me or run any tests, she
says.
Instead, he gave her a prescrip-
tion and after buying the medi-
cine, Lourdes went back home.
The painful contractions still
persisted, and feeling fatigued,
all she wanted was to sleep. How-
ever, before getting into bed, she
visited the bathroom, and gasped
in shock.
My underwear was soaked in
blood. I immediately called my
doctor, who instructed me to go
to the nearest hospital as fast as
I could.
With her husband out of the
country, she sought her neigh-
bours help. He drove her to the
nearest hospital, a public one.
She had been making plans to
deliver at a private hospital.
However, she was sure she would
be in safe hands at this hospital,
but she was wrong.
At the casualty, she was met
with nonchalance.
The receiving nurses rudely
asked me why I was bleeding.
Did your husband beat you or
did you fall? they asked.
They also questioned Lourdes
about her decision to attend
her antenatal clinic at a private
facility.
We tell you women to go to
government hospitals but you
dont listen to us. Look at you
now, this is the time you need
us, huh?
In excruciating pain, bleeding
and desperate, Lourdes apolo-
gised profusely for the mistake
of seeking antenatal care at a
private clinic.
The unforgiving nurses then
ordered her to walk to the labour
ward. Nobody assisted her. After
struggling to do so, she was asked
My sons death could have been prevented

Lourdes
to climb on to one of the beds.
I was unable to because the bed
was high and I was in great pain.
My neighbour had long been sent
away. When I asked for the nurses
help, they refused, telling me if I
didnt want to help myself, then I
might as well return
home.
Even worse, dierent sta (male
and female) would pass by at
intervals, each time asking me to
part my legs so that they could
inspect me. I felt stripped of all
dignity, she recalls.
About four hours later, and
with no signs of being suitably at-
tended to, she resigned herself to
the probability of dying. She was
sure that day, 14 June, 2013, was
going to be her last on earth.
She was never going to be a
mother.
About two weeks before
this, the government had
introduced free maternity
services. As a result,
the labour ward in this
hospital was lled with
many pregnant women,
some writhing in pain on
the oor and others, like
Lourdes, soaking the
oor with their blood.
Lourdes says that
when she tried to seek
the nurses help, they
rebuked her, retorting
that the government had
decided to oer free mater-
nity services, but
had not
allocated money to facilitate this
and neither had it employed more
nurses.
I wondered why I was being
punished for a policy I had noth-
ing to do with, Lourdes said.
Lonely, scared, and numbed
by the pain in her belly, she was
relieved when, from afar, she
heard her doctors voice. He had
arrived to attend to her. Moments
later, she was transferred to the
hospitals private wing. Soon af-
terwards, she was rushed to the
theatre for emergency surgery.
When she came to, she heard
what must have been cries of new-
borns and asked the nurse nearby
to hand over her son. Instead, she
was told her that her doctor was
on his way. When he arrived, he
did not bear good news. He sim-
ply informed her that her son had
died. His words are forever etched
in her memory:
Lourdes, by the time you went
to theatre, you had lost too much
blood and your son was already
dead. We were trying to save your
life.
Nothing to show
She remembers laughing at the
doctors words. There was no way
her son would be dead. Were those
not his cries she was hearing?
However, reality soon dawned
on her when a short while later,
she saw a little girl going around
the ward, greeting new mothers
and admiring their newborns.
When the girl came to me,
she asked: Aunty, where is your
baby? That is when it hit me
that I had no baby. My Sun-
shine was dead. It hit me like
a thunderbolt. It was the worst
pain I have ever felt. I cried as
I have never cried before. I
wanted to die too.
A few days later, Lourdes
was discharged from hos-
pital. She had no baby, yet
had a caesarean wound
and engorged breasts.
Lourdes was inconsol-
able.
I cried every day. I
had done everything
right. I had taken
good care of myself
and my pregnancy,
attending my
clinics religiously
once each month.
I was seeing an
experienced gy-
naecologist and
paying a couple
of thousands
for each con-
sultation, yet
I lost my
baby.

into depres-
sion.

son, the more
I feared that

Wednesday May 14, 2014 DAILY NATION 4 Living
AS I WRITE THIS, I am in Accra, Ghana, at-
tending a workshop on resource mobilisation.
That is NGO-speak for how to raise funds.
On my way here, I was scared. But I did not
want to share my fears because the training
was planned ages ago. Donors are no-non-
sense types. If you commit, you better show
up. Mind, body, and soul. Or else.
What is freaking me out is, I have learned
from introductions that some workshop par-
ticipants are from Liberia. Does that ring a
bell? Liberia. That is where Ebola is wreaking
havoc. Guinea Bissau has also reported Ebola
cases. Some victims die within 30 minutes of
diagnosis. That is frightening.
Fear of ying
On my way here, I also had another fear,
albeit unrelated to Ebola. I kept thinking that
our plane could disappear like the Malaysian
Airlines ight. My fellow passengers seemed
unperturbed. Or they were just pretending.
Can someone explain to me how, in 2014,
with all this technology, an object the size of
a skyscraper can vanish just like that? I cannot
begin to imagine the agony and anguish the
families of those who were on that plane have
to endure, with no denite answers coming
their way.
I told people in a group therapy session the
other day that if I were asked to pick another
disease to live with for the rest of my life, I
would stick with HIV, the devil I know, stigma
and discrimination notwithstanding, and con-
tinue living positively ever after.
That is because, although HIV is deadly and
could be fatal, it does not directly cause death.
What causes death are opportunistic infections
(OIs) due to compromised immunity.
Most of these OIs have a cure. That is why
you can live with HIV as long as you can keep
yourself healthy and manage, as much as pos-
sible, any OIs. I think it is this that makes it dif-
cult for a doctor to certify that one actually
died of HIV.
Thin line
Right now, my biggest worry is Ebola. Not
that I favour any OI, but the only OI I would
not want near me is Ebola. So much for know-
ing that many viral diseases are incurable.
At the workshop, I do not know exactly what
precautions to take. What not to touch. What
not to eat to avoid the risk of contracting an-
other virus.
Also, I do not know what to say to fellow
participants from the aected countries. I
do not want to come o as being stigmatis-
ing. With such issues, it is a thin line between
straight-shooting and slurring.
Prayer items
All through my stay and travel, I am praying
inwardly. The twin scares have brought out the
prayer warrior in me
Dear God, You know I already have this BIG
one. The world has been worried sti, including
the UN Assembly, which has held a special ses-

As for Ebola, while I will do everything pos-

About Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a condition that some pregnant
women develop, and is characterised by high
blood pressure.
Dr Stephen Mutiso, a gynaecologist based at
Kenyatta National Hospitals Doctors Plaza, says
that elevated blood pressure usually occurs after
the 20th week of pregnancy and is marked by
a high level of protein in the urine. Women with
preeclampsia often have swelling in the feet,
legs, and hands. The cause is unknown.
In mild forms of preeclampsia, Dr Mutiso says
the symptoms can go unnoticed, while in severe
cases, the woman may have symptoms such as
severe headache, blurred vision, epigastric pain,
and reduced volume of urine. In some cases, she
may get seizures. Severe preeclampsia may also
cause growth retardation of the baby.
Preeclampsia should be taken very seriously,
since it can be fatal if left untreated. It is a great
contributor to maternal deaths and even when
the woman survives, she may develop serious
conditions such as stroke, kidney failure, liver
failure, and loss of vision. In severe forms, the
baby could also die. That is why it is important
for it to be detected early as it is easier to man-
age then, he explains.
Treatment of preeclampsia includes control of
blood pressure and prevention of seizures.
In severe cases, delivery of the baby is the ulti-
mate objective, he says.

AS I WRITE THIS, I am in Accra, Ghana, at-
tending a workshop on resource mobilisation.
That is NGO-speak for how to raise funds.
On my way here, I was scared. But I did not
want to share my fears because the training
was planned ages ago. Donors are no-non-
sense types. If you commit, you better show
up. Mind, body, and soul. Or else.
What is freaking me out is, I have learned
from introductions that some workshop par-
ticipants are from Liberia. Does that ring a
bell? Liberia. That is where Ebola is wreaking
havoc. Guinea Bissau has also reported Ebola
cases. Some victims die within 30 minutes of
diagnosis. That is frightening.
Fear of ying
On my way here, I also had another fear,
albeit unrelated to Ebola. I kept thinking that
our plane could disappear like the Malaysian
Airlines ight. My fellow passengers seemed
unperturbed. Or they were just pretending.
Can someone explain to me how, in 2014,
with all this technology, an object the size of
a skyscraper can vanish just like that? I cannot
begin to imagine the agony and anguish the
families of those who were on that plane have
to endure, with no denite answers coming
their way.
I told people in a group therapy session the
other day that if I were asked to pick another
disease to live with for the rest of my life, I
would stick with HIV, the devil I know, stigma
and discrimination notwithstanding, and con-
tinue living positively ever after.
That is because, although HIV is deadly and
could be fatal, it does not directly cause death.
What causes death are opportunistic infections
(OIs) due to compromised immunity.
Most of these OIs have a cure. That is why
you can live with HIV as long as you can keep
yourself healthy and manage, as much as pos-
sible, any OIs. I think it is this that makes it dif-
cult for a doctor to certify that one actually
died of HIV.
Thin line
Right now, my biggest worry is Ebola. Not
that I favour any OI, but the only OI I would
not want near me is Ebola. So much for know-
ing that many viral diseases are incurable.
At the workshop, I do not know exactly what
precautions to take. What not to touch. What
not to eat to avoid the risk of contracting an-
other virus.
Also, I do not know what to say to fellow
participants from the aected countries. I
do not want to come o as being stigmatis-
ing. With such issues, it is a thin line between
straight-shooting and slurring.
Prayer items
All through my stay and travel, I am praying
inwardly. The twin scares have brought out the
prayer warrior in me
Dear God, You know I already have this BIG
one. The world has been worried sti, including
the UN Assembly, which has held a special ses-
sion to handle it. Please, let me not ever con-
tract this one. It keeps even the international
media awake. Maybe because of their own
fears, or in good faith, or to keep us informed.
And, Lord, I know you control the skies.
Please God, never allow the plane Im travel-
ling in to disappear because You and I have
a covenant: When it is my time, You will give
me notice to put my house in order before I
go to rest.
Not only that, God. I want to see Barakas

fatherhood
SURELY, YOU CANT convert my towel into a rug. Thats
madhaa! exclaimed my horried husband as he stared at
his old green towel on the oor. Old is a polite word for a
threadbare, faded thing 15 years old or more. In fact, I had
honoured that thing by using it to clean the bathroom
before dumping it with the trash.
Everyone in our household has a couple of decent towels,
but hubby is not interested in any towel other than his
ancient once-green one. I point out that it is too old, likely
even to harbour something dangerous. After tolerating that
towel for this long, I just had to make an executive decision
to dispose of it.
But I am not through with him yet. I have given him
time to mourn his old friend before I nally carry out a
spring cleaning of his closet, since he never comes round
to doing it himself. If wives do not make such decisions,
some husbands would walk around looking as if they just
escaped from a cat-training camp.
Hoarding. A term nobody mentioned until you wed
that man and started sharing a bed, bathroom, and home.
Suddenly, you notice the handsome pair of shoes he has
got on the shoe rack, but never touches. Instead, he wears
a tired pair that would qualify for a place in the national
museum. And that tattered vest, clinging to his chest by the
sheer might of three determined threads. Or that belt that
looks as if it came o a dinosaurs hide.
A friend told me about this jungle jacket that her father
wears for every occasion. During a trip abroad, she got him
a trench coat, a woollen jersey, a winter coat for the bitterly
cold months, and a couple of suits. He has never worn them
they hang neatly in his closet. Her frustrated mother left
it to the children to convince their father that the jungle
look was long out of vogue, but like my husband, their
father has no intention of letting go of his old friend. Back
in high school, we thought our German teacher had only
one orange shirt. Then one day at the teachers quarters,
we counted over 15 replica orange shirts hang out to dry.
I wonder, is it a man thing? You can wear the same hair
style for life, but who said you have to do the same with
clothes? Hubby almost looks traumatised when he opens
his drawer to nd new underwear in place of his old pairs.
At a bridal shower, one single girl described her potential
husband: He should be nancially stable, have a nice
house, and dress well and stylishly
You are describing a married man, honey! said the
moderator.
Maybe there should be another saying that behind every
neat man is a headstrong woman. Some things I cannot
change, but there is no way I intend to be seen in public
with a husband who looks as if he borrowed his entire
wardrobe from a black-and-white portrait.

Moving to a new
neighbourhood sometimes
comes with new issues. One
challenge we faced when we
recently shifted was getting to
Puddngs school. It is now two
connecting matatus away.
Generally, the transition was
smooth, until Tenderoni plunged
into a trench on her way to pick
up Puddng from school.
Some sick joker, perhaps
spoiling to play an injurious
prank, had placed a wood-like
plank as a bridge across the
trench. According to Tenderoni,
the flimsy cardboard could
not even hold the weight of a
petticoat.
The next few recuperative days
were spent with moi doing, as
Puddng puts it, ratho therapy.
Homework blues
That aside, Tenderoni has
gone into self-employment,
selling second-hand handbags.
Which means this work-at-home
father picks up his daughter
from school. I now have a new
perspective on what lone
ranger mothers go through. I
feel yall, ambidextrous sisters.
By the time Tenderoni closes
shop, 7.30-ish pm, I have checked
baby girls homework, given her
supper and done some chores.
Having multiple balls in the air
has been making me miss some
incorrect answers in Puddngs
assignments. Um, I reckon.
One time Puddng came
with a wronged answer from
the previous days English
homework. A ______ repairs
and makes our shoes. She had
written tailor. And to think that
the English language is my stock-
in-trade.
In math homework the
question, Seven cats have ___
eyes was easy-peasy. Baby girl
wrote 13. Did not see that. Till
next day when her teachers red-
penned X opened my eyes.
Me? I can argue that one of
those felines was a see-a-miss
cat. You know, like a mutant.
Missing an eye. Or coming with
an extra blinker. The types whose
meowing and mien compel my
superstitious sweetie to shriek,
Shindwe katika jina la Yesu!
Recently in the news, we
saw a lamb that was born with
ve limbs. Dah-dee? What are
limbs? our daughter asked, and
we put her in the know.
Whos tripping now?
We have been thinking of
transferring our daughter
to another school to save us
from commuting hassles. It is
especially stressful when it is
raining, or when matatus have
gone MIA, or when their crews
act like Supreme Court judges.
I want a school with a
playground, Puddng gave us
her wish list.
This changed because of
something that happens once
a year, around second term.
Educational trip.
We were told that this time
the trip will be to a very exciting
place, Puddng gushed, giving
her revised list: Can I transfer
after the trip?
Saleslady
Puddng has heard us saying
that we are believing in God for
a car. So what? She wants us to
swap our mustard seed faith with
her massive faith. She wants us
to, vroom, drive, the talk. Like
last century.
Dah-dee? she keeps pitching.
Today I saw a car written, FOR
SALE.
Our neighbour has a hatchback
with the same poster on the
windscreen. On seeing it, I knew
I would be in for another sales
pitch. And then
Dah-dee? Have you seen the
car thats for sale on the ground
oor?
Uh-uh, do not give her the
classieds. Please?
Alternative therapy
After her rescue from the
trench, Tenderoni could not
move. A kind woman volunteered
to bring Puddng from school,
but Tenderoni thanked her and
called the schools management,
who came with baby girl.
Daughter was teary-eyed on
seeing Mom. Telling Mom to
call Dad to come with a car. The
remark that made Tenderoni to
wince a laugh, through throbbing
ankle, was when Puddng
exclaimed: Call Daddy and tell
him to come and ratho you.
Puddng meant rwayo. Which
is Dholuo for massage. Ratho
means to cake a hut with earth.
Well? It is the therapy thought
that counts.
Marathon miscues
We are watching Sunday news
on TV on the day the First Lady
ran the London Marathon. Our
curious cutie is full of questions.
As usual.
Dah-dee? Did the First Lady
walk from Nairobi to London?
This is in reaction to
our comment about the
understandably long time it
took Mrs Kenyatta to make it
from gun-to-tape, and about her
walking-cum-running style.
Puddng feels slighted
any touchy tot would when
Tenderoni snickers at her
innocent legging-it-to-London
miscue.
Later, seeing the First Lady
inside the bubble-like vehicle,
post-marathon, baby girl plunks
her foot in mouth again
Was the First Lady inside
that car or did she run the
marathon?
New neighbourhood,
new challenges

regularly.
If you get guests who smoke, you
have the right to ask them to smoke
outdoors. When in public places such
as restaurants, where smoking may be
allowed, sit in the no-smoking section.
Better still, select restaurants that do
not allow indoor smoking.
Talk to them
If you leave your child in the care of
a relative or friend who smokes, make
it clear that you would not want them
to smoke around them. It may be obvi-
ous to you, but some people see nothing
wrong in smoking in the presence of
children.
You may be tempted to keep quiet to
avoid oending them, especially since
they are doing you a favour, but a good
friend or well-meaning relative will un-
derstand your concern.
If your children are old enough, talk to
them about the dangers associated with
smoking and cigarette smoke and teach
them how to protect themselves from
second-hand smoke.
Also remember that children learn by
example and, more important, they con-
sider you to be a role model. Chances
are, therefore, that they might take up
the habit later in life; after all, Daddy or
Mummy does it, so it must be good.
If you not ready to quit, you can do
the next best thing step outside the
house when the craving knocks and stop
smoking inside the car.
BY DR REBECCA MUTHONI
If you smoke, it is very important to
ensure that you do not expose your
children to second-hand smoke. Unlike
what many believe, second-hand smoke
is as damaging as that rst pu. Also,
there is no amount of second-hand
smoke exposure that is regarded as
safe.
A child exposed to cigarette smoke
on a daily basis is more likely to develop
allergies, asthma, breathing problems,
ear infections, pneumonia, wheezing,
bronchitis, and sore throats.
Opening a window, using air fresh-
ener to mask the smell, turning on a
fan to clear the air, or smoking in a
dierent room is futile. The fact is that
these measures are not enough since the
chemical properties in a cigarette fall on
carpets and furniture and continue to
release dangerous chemicals long after
you extinguish a cigarette.
One of the most eective ways to
protect your child is to quit smoking. It
is a dicult habit to break, but think of
the benets that come with it, such as
healthier children, a healthier you, less
medical bills due to smoking-related
illnesses, and a cleaner living environ-
ment.
Next best thing
If you do not intend to give up the
habit, do not smoke inside your home.
No amount of ventilation or ltering
will work suciently to rid your house
of second-hand smoke. Indoor smoke
usually builds up and everyone in the
vicinity becomes a target of the respira-
tory irritants and carcinogenic chemi-
cals contained in a cigarette. Also, the
stale smell of tobacco hangs around for
quite some time.
It also makes sense not to smoke in-
side the car, especially if travelling with
your family. If you tend to smoke in the
car, ensure that it is thoroughly cleaned
inside and the upholstery vacuumed

MY SON LICKS the ketchup o
chips, then refuses to eat them.
My daughter refuses to eat
anything that remotely looks like a
vegetable.
My children are picky eaters, how
do I get them to eat without a fuss?
When it comes to food, I really have
heard it all.
The good news is that with a little
consistency and lots of patience, it is
possible to get your little ones eating
better.
1. Set an example
As so many of the recent studies are
showing, the best predictor of your
childs eating habits are your eating
habits. If healthy foods like vegetables
do not feature often in your home, you
cannot really expect your children to
want to eat them. Children, much like
adults, will eat what they are familiar
with they are unlikely to ask for cau-
liower and green beans if they do not
have them often.
2. Make it fun
Eating broccoli can be dicult for a
child used to eating chips. But if he is
zebra who needs to eat ve trees to
outrun a lion, suddenly those orets
will look a lot more interesting. Relate
healthy food to fun things that your
son or daughter loves and see how
fast they will eat those veggies.
3. Get them involved
Taking your children with you to
the market and letting them pick veg-
etables to cook for dinner can help in
making them excited about eating
them later. Better still, if you have
space, prepare a kitchen garden and
plant various vegetables with them.
Encourage them to water and tend
them, even prepare them for cooking.
This way, they would be more willing
to eat them because they will have a
sense of ownership.
4. Just one bite
Research has shown that children
who initially reject a food accept it
if exposed to it around eight to 10
times. Get your child to have just one
mouthful of the rejected food when-
ever it is served. Furthermore, reward-
ing a child for taking that one bite will
mean that they are more likely to rate
the food positively in the future.
5. Oer a rainbow
All children like colourful foods, so
serve them a variety of vegetables in
dierent colours. Also, note that un-
like adults who tend to like avours
mingled together, children often pre-
fer them separate, so instead of one
big sufuria of rice mixed with peas,
carrots, meat, and other ingredients,
cook the rice and stew separately.
6. Make pretty patterns
Different vegetables can be ar-
ranged in pretty patterns on a plate,
something that children really seem
to love.
7. Be persistent
Some children require more eort
and patience to get used to eating
their veggies without protest. Do not
give up. The habits they develop at a
young age tend to go with them into
adulthood.
This is why it is worth tackling picky
eating as soon as possible. I promise
you, it will pay o in the end.

RUTABAGA
These are a cross be-
tween a cabbage and

ity. When storing, dip

vent loss of moisture
Tasty dry-fried pork
Today I will teach you how
to make delicious dry-fried pork.
Before we get there though, it is
important that you learn some pork
vocabulary.
Next time you go to the butchers,
instead of just asking for pork,
specify the cut you want because the
texture, cooking time, and even taste
is determined by the part of the pig
the pork comes from.
Pork belly
It is the esh that runs on the
underside of the pig. It has plenty of
fat and, therefore, most suitable for
making bacon.
Pork chops
You can grill, broil, or pan-fry
them. Thicker-cut pork chops are
the juiciest and tastiest.
Pork cutlets
These are lean steaks similar
to sirloin chops, but meatier and
boneless.
Pork loins
Cuts from the pork loin are the
leanest and most tender, therefore,
avoid overcooking them.
Pork ribs
There are three main cuts of pork
ribs and they all require long, slow
cooking. They include back ribs and
spare ribs, which are the least meaty
of pork ribs, but popular for their
tender, chewy texture.
Dry-fried pork
Ingredients:
1kg pork leg meat, cut into cubes
(should have some fat/skin)
2 onions
5 cloves garlic, chopped ne
1 tomato (cut into small cubes)
Seasoning (salt and pepper)
1 small bunch chopped coriander
(optional)
Method:
When cutting the meat, make
sure the skin and fatty part of
the pork is attached to the meat.
Separate the pieces with the skin
from the meaty ones.
On a hot pan with no oil, cook
the pork with the skin on rst. This
is to ensure that this part gets more
time to cook since it is tougher.
The fat will help cook the pork
and brown it. When the skin pieces
start to brown, add the rest of the
meat and cover the pan to allow the
meat to cook.
When all the water has evaporated
and the meat starts drying, add the
onion and garlic.
Allow the meat to brown as you
keep on stirring to prevent sticking.
Add a little water to dilute any stuck
avours.
Add the tomatoes and season,
stir and cover to allow the tomato
to cook.
Taste and correct the seasoning.
The meat should be cooked by now.
Avoid adding water during cooking,
but do so only to give the meat more
cooking time.
Just before turning o the heat,
add the optional coriander then
serve hot.
The cooking time should not be
long because pork is not a tough
meat.
Next week I will share another
tasty pork recipe, and of course a
few more tips on how to cook pork.

cooking tips and recipes.
TEXTURE AND FLAVOUR ARE DETERMINED BY THE PART OF THE PORK YOU BUY >> CHEF RAPHAEL
CHEFS TIPS
Store spices in a cool, dark place.
Humidity, light, and heat make herbs
and spices to lose their avour more
quickly. Although the most conven-
ient place for your spice rack may
be above your stove, moving your
spices to a dierent location will
keep them fresh longer.
