K
ericho Governor Paul Chep-
kwony yesterday became
the second county chief
to be impeached as the Supreme
Court temporarily reinstated
Nairobis Evans Kidero who lost
a petition on Tuesday.
And in Mombasa, Governor Has-
san Joho is facing a major legal
battle after the Ugandan National
Council for Higher Education ruled
that his degree was obtained ir-
regularly, meaning that he could
lose his seat.
The law requires every governor
to be a university degree holder.
In Kericho, 32 MCAs voted to
send Prof Chepkwony home, barely
crossing the required threshold of
two-thirds of the assembly.
Fifteen members of the assem-
bly, who were against the removal
of Prof Chepkwony, did not turn up
for the debate and voting, which
was presided over by Speaker
Japheth Mutai.
In Nairobi, the Supreme Court
yesterday reversed Tuesdays nul-
lication of Dr Kideros election
by the Court of Appeal. A single
judge suspended the execution

of the entire judgement of the
appellate court that had sent Dr
Kidero packing.
Mr Justice Mohammed Ibrahim
certied as urgent the appeal led
by lawyers Tom Ojienda, Kennedy
Ogeto and Evans Monari on be-
half of the embattled governor.
He said the appeal raised seri-
ous legal and constitutional issues
which could only be resolved
during a full hearing.
The judge stopped the swear-
ing-in of the Speaker of Nairobi
County Assembly, Mr Alex
Magelo, to discharge the duties of
the Governor pending a by-elec-
tion to elect a new governor.
He also restrained the Inde-
pendent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC) from declar-
ing the Nairobi governors seat
vacant.
In his brief ruling, Justice Ibra-
him said, I have read the notice
of motion led by the appellant
herein (Dr Kidero) and also heard
submissions by Prof Ojienda. I am
satised the appeal raises triable
issues of law.
He added: Dr Kideros appeal
raises serious legal issues, which
may be rendered nugatory unless
a temporary stay is granted.
Justice Ibrahim said nobody
would be prejudiced by granting
the conservatory orders suspend-
ing the execution of the Court of
Appeal orders.
Presenting the case, Prof
Ojienda criticised the majority
decision of Judges GBM Kariuki
and Patrick Kiage describing it
as outrageous.
The two judges said the elec-
tion of Dr Kidero did not meet
the constitutional threshold and
was in total breach of the elec-
tion rules.
Prof Ojienda said the judges
erred in law by admitting the ap-
peal lodged by former Embakasi
MP Ferdinand Waititu when it
was filed 30 days outside the
prescribed time.
He said judges Kariuki and
Kiage went out of their way
to analyse facts of the petition
instead of dealing with the legal
issues only.
Justice Ibrahim heard that the
judges ruled that Mr Waititu was
not given fair hearing before Jus-
tice Richard Mwongo who heard
the petition.
The appellate judges observed
Justice Mwongo denied the
petitioner the opportunity to
cross-examine a crucial witness,
the County Returning Officer
Fiona Nduku Waithaka thereby
locking out testimony which
would have assisted him in doing
justice to the poll dispute.
In Kericho, the notice of
motion for the removal of Prof
Chepkwony was moved by Nomi-
nated MCA Albert Kipkoech. He
accused Prof Chepkwony of
gross violation of the Constitu-
tion, abuse of oce and gross
violation of the provisions of
the county Government Act, the
Public Finance Management Act
and the Public Procurement and
Disposal Act.
Prof Chepkwony, who was ac-
companied by legal counsel Peter
Wanyama during the proceedings,
watched in silence from a seat re-
served for him to the left of the
Speaker.
For Kericho County to move
forward into development, Prof
Chepkwony must go so that we
can have a more responsible gov-
ernor. All evidence conrms that
the governor violated the law, Mr
Kipkoech said.
He alleged that Prof Chepk-
wony had violated the provisions
of the County Government Act
and Public Finance Management
Act on grants and donations re-
ceived and failed to follow due
process regarding public and
private partnership. He said the
governor had also failed to take
into account public participation
while entering into deals.
The MCA also said that the
governor violated the provisions
of Articles 226(5), 220(2) and
73(2)(c) (1) of the Constitution.
It includes exposing the
county to risk and/or liability by
entering into agreements without
following the due process of law
with full knowledge that funds
were unavailable, he added.
He was seconded by Kipkelion
MCA Edward Santos.
They claimed that the governor
signed several deals without the
prior approval of the County As-
sembly, thereby violating Public
Private Partnership laws.
But Prof Chepkwony defended
himself against the allegations,
insisting that the county did not
lose any money.
In Mombasa, Mr Joho suered
a blow over his academic quali-
cations as a case challenging his
election was referred to the CJ
for further directions.

Impeached Embu Governor
Martin Wambora yesterday de-
manded that his case be heard
by a three-judge bench.
Through his lawyer Wilfred
Nyamu, Mr Wambora (right)
insisted before principal judge
Richard Mwongo that he was
ready to pursue his quest for
justice following his alleged
irregular impeachment but he
must be heard by three judges
of the High Court.
We wish to have a three
judge bench constituted to hear
this matter and we expect this
court to issues directions to
that eect, said Mr Nyamu.
Mr Nyamu said that neither
the Embu County Assembly
nor the Senate is affected
by what is happening to Mr
Wambora and hence he just
needs to be heard fairly.
The court was meant to give
a ruling yesterday at 3.30pm
on whether a bench would be
constituted or not but did not
sit at the said time.
On Monday, Justice Mwongo
dismissed Mr Wamboras re-
quest to bar the Senate from
making any deliberations re-
garding his impeachment.
The judge said it would be
unlawful to stop a legislative
body from performing its func-
tions in the publics interest.
Though Mr Wamboras case
raises weighty issues, such a
request would only be allowed
and granted orders with great
caution, Justice Mwongo said.
The judge said Mr Wambora
had not put up adequate evi-
dence to demonstrate how he
was going to suer if the Sen-
ate was not barred from forging
ahead with its constitutional
mandate.

he US has expressed strong
concerns on the way Kenya
has been conducting a crack-
down on suspected Al-Shabaab
sympathisers.
In an online press conference, US
Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of
African Aairs Linda Thomas-Green-
eld said yesterday that her country
had told Kenya government ocials
to change tack in their handling of
the operation to avoid mistreating
innocent people.
We know that Kenya has expe-
rienced some horrendous terrorist
attacks, and we want to work with
the Kenyan government to ensure that
we address the incidents of terrorism,
and we know terrorism in Kenya af-
fects all of us, she told reporters.
Refugees sympathisers
That said, we have expressed our
strong concerns to the government of
Kenya. You know what our views are,
on human rights violations. We will
continue to express those concerns
whenever we see evidence of human
rights violations being committed.
Kenya which has been on the receiv-
ing end of attacks suspected to be
masterminded by the Al-Shabaab last
month embarked on a security opera-
tion to weed out illegal immigrants
and return refugees to the camps.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph
ole Lenku believes most of refugees
and immigrants are sympathisers of
the militants.
The Operation Usalama Watch also
aected Kenyans found without na-
tional identication documents.
Yesterday, Ms Greeneld said of
the Kenyan operation: In order to
deal with terrorism, there has to be
two-pronged approach. There is a
military side of it and there is also a
side of it that is involved in dealing
with the population in a free and fair
and transparent way so that people
understand what is going on and do
not become victims of both terrorism
and the government.
The statement came a day after glo-
bal lobby group Human Rights Watch
released a report criticising Kenyan
security agencies for harassing people
in the crackdown.
Kenyan police and security forces
are using abusive and discriminatory
tactics in the name of national secu-
rity, targeting entire communities,
Human Rights Watch Africa Direc-
tor Daniel Bekele said.
Extorting residents
This crackdown clearly violates
basic rights of Kenyans, refugees,
and other foreign nationals and does
nothing to improve security.
The group charged that the police
had been raiding homes, looting peo-
ples property, extorting residents and
detained thousands including Ken-
yans without taking them to court.
The police denied the charge.
Ms Thomas-Greenfield was ad-
dressing journalists based in Africa
on US Commitment to sub-Saharan
Africa to take stock of the recent trip
by Secretary of State John Kerry. The
US is also expected to host a summit
with African leaders in August, but
has ruled out inviting leaders from
Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Egypt, Guinea
Bissau, CAR and Sudan.
There are some leaders not invited
because they are either not in good
state with the AU because they have
had coups Egypt is one of those
countries, Central Africa Republic is
one of those countries and Guinea Bis-
sau is another Or they are countries
that are not in good standing with the
United States either because we have
sanctioned them or we do not have a
bilateral relationship with them and
you know what those countries are:
Zimbabwe, Eritrea and Sudan.
We are looking forward to a
dialogue with the African leaders.
We have in fact consulted across
the continent and to get issues they
would like us to focus on. So we will
be focusing on peace and security, we
will be focusing on democracy and
governance and we will be focusing on
trade and development as well.
On security, Al-Shabaab, South
Sudan and Boko Haram kept pop-
ping up.
South Sudan President Salva Kiir
and his nemesis Riek Machar signed a
peace deal last Friday but Mr Kiir later
claimed they had been forced into it.
The US yesterday denied it had a hand
in forcing anyone to sign.
There was no forcing that took
place here, she said.

new travel
warning
BY NATION REPORTER
The British Government has
advised the countrys citizens
to avoid travelling to Mombasa,
Eastleigh in Nairobi and areas
within 60 kilometres of the Kenya-
Somalia border.
In its latest update published
in the British High Commission
website, the Foreign and Com-
monwealth Oce (FCO) further
advises against non-essential travel
to Garissa and slums in Nairobi
and other towns.
Interior ministrys spokesman
Mwenda Njoka dismissed the
warning. Every part of the world
is nowadays prone to high threat
from terrorism including Britain,
he said.
Here in Kenya, weve taken a
number of measures to mitigate
against threats and signicantly
minimised occurrence of the
same and as such for any country
to issue travel advisory against
Kenya it is an unfortunate and
irrational move.
High crime levels
The FCO warning cited Nairobis
high density settlements, including
Kibera, Mathare, Huruma, Mukuru
kwa Njenga, Mukuru kwa Reuben,
Korogocho, Kariobangi, Kangemi,
Mwiki and Kawangware, for high
crime levels.
Kibera is a tourist attraction,
with foreigners and aid workers
visiting it after it was cited as one
of Africas largest slums.
British citizens have further been
advised to avoid Mombasa Island
and areas within ve kilometres
of the coast from Mtwapa Creek
in the north to Tiwi in the south.
Other areas are Kiwayu and the
coastal area north of Pate Island
in Lamu County.
The British have been advised
to take a comprehensive travel
and medical cover before visiting
Kenya. The advice cites recent
blasts in Mombasa and Nairobi,
warning of a high threat of terror-
ism and kidnapping.

T
he National Government has
created powerful positions
of County Commissioner
in radical reform of the provincial
administration.
As far as the National Government
is concerned, the County Commis-
sioners with enhanced powers will be
the chief executive ocers of their
counties, appointed by the President
and answerable to him.
Their job will be to oversee the
operations of the National Govern-
ment at the county level.
As the Presidents direct ap-
pointee, the power of the office
must not only be projected and felt
through the office of the County
Commissioner, it must be seen in
the County Commissioner. Nobody
in the county should have a second
doubt as to who the Presidencys
representative and head of govern-
ment at the county level is, says the
policy document which outlines these
radical proposals.
The position of Regional Commis-
sioner, which replaced the Provincial
Commissioner, has been scrapped
and the holders recalled to the central
government for deployment.
The new policy is among far reach-
ing changes that the President will
unveil today.
Constitutionally, the National
Government runs the country and
is given the responsibility to reform
the provincial administration to suit
the devolved system.
It is likely that it will be argued that
the provincial administration is neces-
sary in some form to keep the country
together and ensure security.
But the whole system is unpopular
and has in the past been used to rig
elections and oppress the people.
Service delivery
Yesterday, Public Service Commis-
sion chairperson Margaret Kobia said
the policy was aimed at improving
eciency and eective service deliv-
ery. We are transforming the public
sector; we are providing a favourable
environment for ocers to execute
their duties, she said.
The new structure was prepared by
Ms Kobias team in consultations with
the ministries in charge of devolution
and security.
If the Regional Commissioners
have to be retained, they should be
deployed to the headquarters in Nai-
robi to serve as regional desk ocers
responsible for a cluster of counties,
the policy document says.
Although County Commissioners
will be representatives of the National
Government, their inuential posi-
tion in counties is likely to put them
in competition with governors. This
was the case when governors were
involved in turf wars with regional
commissioners soon after the March
4 General Election as they fought for
control of operations, oce space and
even accommodation.
According to the policy, governors
who are not willing to work with a
particular county commissioner will
have to get the greenlight from the
electorate before such an ocial can
be moved.
They will, however, have no author-
ity over the County Commissioner,
since the roles of the two are well
laid out.
The powers of the governors are
derived from the Constitution and
second from the people who elect
them. On the other hand, County
Commissioners exercise delegated
executive powers and do not enjoy
direct powers from the people, the
implication of this power structure
is that where a governor feels un-
comfortable working with a County
Commissioner, he can directly ap-
peal to the masses and demand the
removal or transfer of a County Com-
missioner, reads the document.
However, the County Commis-
sioner will be required to consult,
collaborate and cooperate with gov-
ernors but governors will not prevail
on the President to transfer County
Commissioners.
Where both levels of government
are expected to perform a particular
function, the County Commissioner
as the overall head of the National
Government at the county level will
be expected to collegially and mutu-
ally agree with the governor on the
expected performance standards of
a shared function, the document
says.

central role in preparing budg-

their respective counties.
Most ministries and government
agencies have already posted
County Directors or HODs, many
of them in Job Groups R and
S. The policy recommends that
the county CEO be placed in a
higher job group.

Top government ocials will

ants from job group R and above,

pensionable terms.
The new policy on decentrali-
sation of human resources in the
civil service, which will be launched
today by President Kenyatta,
is expected to improve service
delivery and boost eciency in
public institutions.
According to the Public Service
Commission, the new model will
replace the one that has been in
place since independence.
Inherited at independence
The existing model that was
inherited at independence is no
longer responsive to the service
delivery needs of today. PSC found
it important to re-design the man-
agement of human resources in
the public service, the document
titled Policy on Decentralisation
of Human Resources in the Civil
Service, said.
It added that Cabinet Secretaries
do not have total control of their
staff and this has undermined
productivity.
PSC will retain the oversight,
regulatory and appellate role to
guard against unfair treatment
of employees, the document
states.
Further, career progression
guidelines will be developed to
replace the current harmonisa-
tion schemes.
Yesterday, PSC chairperson Mar-
garet Kobia said transfer of experts
from one ministry to another will
also not be done haphazardly since
it does not help one to grow.

A vehicle killed two
children and maimed two
others, a parent told a Na-
kuru court yesterday.
Mr William Kaibos
told Lady Justice Abigail
Mshila that he had gone
to pick up the children on
the Nakuru-Mogotio road
when he learnt that two
had been knocked dead
and the others injured.
Good Samaritans helped
me take the injured chil-
dren to a private hospital
in Nakuru and they were
referred to the Aga Khan
University Hospital for
specialised treatment, he
said. The accident occurred
on June 1, 2009.
Mr Kaibos and his wife,
Eunice Chebotim, want the
court to compel Ms Salina
Chawgwony, the registered
owner of the vehicle, and
Grace Jematian Chawg-
wony, who was driving it
when the accident occurred,
to compensate them.
The parents are seeking
Sh3.7 million in damages,
among other claims.
Ms Jematian was found
guilty of the oence and
jailed for six months
with an alternative ne of
Sh50,000.
She was convicted of kill-
ing the children aged eight
and four and injuring the
others aged 14 and two.
Mr Kaibos said he in-
curred hospitals bills of
about Sh3 million and
paid legal fees in the
criminal case, among other
expenses.
I am also seeking gen-
eral damages for future
medication, pain and suf-
fering of the two girls who
were paralysed by the ac-
cident, he said.
The parent said he has
to buy diapers for the two
survivors since they can-
not walk.
A witness, Mr Nehemiah
Kiptoo, said Ms Jematians
vehicle had overtaken him
and was driving on the left
side of the road when she
hit the children.

P
resident Kenyatta has directed
that young police ocers be
trained ahead of the roll-out
of a new communications and sur-
veillance system Safaricom has been
contracted to build.
The President said that he had
asked Inspector-General David Ki-
maiyo to include the ocers in a group
that would be trained on the surveil-
lance system because they are able to
adopt new technology faster.
The Kenya Police Service will soon
have this modern integrated security
system that will revolutionise how it
ghts crime. I want this done as soon as
possible because it is necessary for the
safety of our country, he said yesterday
when he met top Safaricom ocials and
national security chiefs at Harambee
House in Nairobi for a demonstration
on how the system works.
The surveillance system will be built
at a cost of Sh15 billion.
The President is committed to
improving the security of the coun-
try and this system is at the heart of
the Governments initiatives to ght
crime and terror.
It will begin in Nairobi and then
spread to other counties in the course
of time, presidential spokesperson
Manoah Esipisu told the Nation by
phone yesterday.
Identify and track suspects
The government contracted Sa-
faricom to build the system as part
of eorts to enhance security in the
country in the wake of increased ter-
rorist attacks and other crimes.
It will include a system of spy
cameras (CCTV) 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, which have
been hardest hit by terrorism.
Safaricom will deliver the system
at cost without proting from it
with the government only expected
to reimburse actual costs incurred in
the process.
It will enable security personnel
to monitor live any area, detect any
security incident, help direct police
response and monitor the ow of
people and traffic, especially in
town centres.
The project includes the set-up of
a command and control centre from
where security operations will be
coordinated.
A committee, headed by Interior
Principal Secretary Mutea Iringo,
evaluated the system ahead of yes-
terdays demonstration.
The project will involve connect-
ing 195 police stations in Mombasa
and Nairobi to high speed Internet
to ease communication.

The trial of Deputy
President William Ruto
and journalist Joshua Sang
resumed yesterday in The
Hague after Easter recess,
with a victim taking to the
witness stand.
The witness, P-673, has
been granted protection
and her entire testimony
will be heard in private,
following the prosecutions
request.
The witness, a female
victim from Eldoret, which
was hard hit by the post-
election violence, will be
questioned by the victims
lawyer, Mr Wilfred Nderitu,
if the court allows.
Mr Ruto arrived in The
Hague early yesterday
morning, hours before his
trial resumed, accompanied
by his wife Rachel, National
Assembly Majority Leader
Aden Duale and Kericho
Senator Charles Keter.
Meanwhile, his trial is
moving forward despite
tremendous diculties
with witnesses, chief pros-
ecutor Fatou Bensouda has
said.
At the same time, Ms
Bensouda (right) plans
to meet Attorney-General
Githu Muigai to discuss
the courts request for
President Kenyattas
nancial records.
Asked about the status
of the Ruto case at a news
conference at the UN head-
quarters in New York, Ms
Bensouda said: We are
having tremendous diffi-
culties, as usual, with our
witnesses not wanting to
come forward or chang-
ing their minds at the last
minute.
She has previously
complained about un-
precedented intimidation
of witnesses in the Kenyan
cases.
She spoke as it emerged
that one of the witnesses ex-
pected as the trial resumed
yesterday had declined to
travel to The Hague.
Sources said the witness
vanished in Eldoret Town
shortly before the prosecu-
tion team travelled with him
to Nairobi for a ight to the
Netherlands.
However, the team
s uc c e e de d i n
ying out
with one

A
warrant of arrest
was yesterday issued
against journalist Wal-
ter Barasa, setting in motion
the process of his extradition
to the International Criminal
Court in The Hague.
Mr Justice Richard Mwongo
of the High Court ruled that
he was satised with the rea-
sons given by Interior Cabinet
Secretary Joseph ole Lenku for
the arrest of Mr Barasa and
that there were no reasons to
decline the request by the ICC
to have Mr Barasa extradited
to The Hague.
From the information
available, I am satised that
Mr Barasa is present in Kenya
and is the person being sought
by the ICC. I have no reason
to decline the same request
and do hereby issue a warrant
for his arrest, ruled Justice
Mwongo.
Mr Barasa is wanted by
the ICC to face charges of
interfering with witnesses in
the crimes against humanity
charges facing Deputy Presi-
dent William Ruto and former
journalist Joshua arap Sang.
His warrant was issued
on a day the trial of Mr Ruto
and Mr Sang resumed in The
Hague after the Easter recess,
with Witness P-673, a crime
victim, taking the stand.
Once arrested and extra-
dited, Mr Barasa will become
the fourth Kenyan to be tried
at The Hague-based court. He
will join Mr Ruto, Mr Sang and
President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mr Kenyattas trial is yet
to begin.
ICC prosecutor Fatou
Bensouda in September last
year requested the help of the
government in Mr Barasas ex-
tradition after she obtained a
warrant for his arrest from the
ICC judges.
Mr Barasa is accused of
oering Sh1.4 million to Wit-
ness No 536 if she agreed to
withdraw as ICC prosecution
witness in the trial of Mr Ruto
and Mr Sang.

THE PROCESS
Extradition to
criminal court
BY WALTER MENYA

The Attorney-General has re-
quested to be allowed to make
observations as friend of the court
(amicus curiae) in the applications
by Deputy President William Ruto
and Mr Joshua arap Sang for leave
to appeal the decision to compel
eight witnesses to testify.
Prof Githu Muigai said the ma-
jority decision of Trial Chamber
V(A) that the government com-
pels the eight witnesses placed
the country is a position not
anticipated by the signatories to
the Rome Statute.
Additionally, the AG argues in
the application that compelling the
witnesses to testify will be unfair
to them besides being against the
Kenyan laws.
Leave to appeal
Prof Muigai said that while the
government had a right to file
directly for leave to appeal the
majority ruling, it has determined
that participating as amicus curiae
would be sucient.
When Kenya signed the Rome
Statute, there was nothing in the
terms of the treaty that put the
State on notice that one of the
forms of assistance it might be
required to provide was to compel
its citizens to involuntarily provide
testimony before the court and to
criminally sanction them if they
failed to do so.
Rather, the Government clearly
understood that the States Parties
intended to create an international
court, which had slightly dierent
attributes than their domestic
courts, the Attorney General
said in the May 12 ling.
The witnesses in question are
witnesses 15, 16, 336, 397, 516, 524,
495 and 323 who had withdrawn
from the case involving Mr Ruto
and Mr Sang.
Prof Muigai contends that the
government was not aware of the
circumstances under which the
eight witnesses initially chose to
cooperate with the prosecution and
to provide witness statements even
though it is assumed they did so
voluntarily.
By video link
The AG further contends that
the majority ruling by Judges Chile
Eboe-Osuji and Robert Fremr is
the height of unfairness to ret-
roactively impose a punishment
upon them (the eight witnesses)
for withdrawing when their interac-
tion with prosecution was initially
assumed to be voluntary.
Indeed, to do so is contrary to
Kenyan law, the AG said.
He said that while the Gov-
ernment has a right to appeal the
majority ruling, it has determined
that participating as amicus curiae
would be sucient.
Judges Osuji and Fremr had on
April 17 directed the Government
to compel the eight witnesses to
testify either by video link or in
person and to ensure their safety.
The majority ruling followed an
application by ICC prosecutor
Fatou Bensouda.
AG seeks to
take part in
Ruto appeal
on witnesses

T
wo Pay TV companies
have opposed an appli-
cation by a consumers
organisation seeking to compel
them to compensate viewers
for missing out on local free-
to-air channels.
Startimes Kenya and GOTV
Kenya want the application by
the Consumers Federation of
Kenya (Cofek) put on hold
until a case they led at the
Supreme Court challenging
an order stopping them from
airing the contents of local TV
stations is determined.
Lawyers George Khaseke
and Anthony Njogu for the
two companies argued the is-
sues raised by Cofek were the
same ones before the Supreme
Court and which the consumer
organisation is a party.
One of the issues for de-
termination is the consent
between our clients and the
local stations to broadcast
their free-to-air programmes.
Cofek is a party to that dis-
pute and it is only fair if their
present application is stopped
until the determination of the
matter before the Supreme
Court, said Mr Njogu.
Cofek went to court seek-
ing an order to compel the
two companies to compensate
thousands of their subscribers
for terminating the airing of
NTV, KTN and Citizen TV
channels.
The pay TV stations stopped
airing the local channels fol-
lowing a court order that they
were infringing on the intel-
lectual property rights of the
three stations.
Cofek argued that the con-
tinued no-show of the three
channels was a violation of the
subscribers rights and their
expectation to have them when
they acquired Startimes and
GoTv set top boxes.
Seeking the consent of the
media houses to air their chan-
nels was the sole mandate of
the pay TV channels and the
subscribers who had paid to
watch the channels had noth-
ing to do with it, said lawyer
Henry Kurauka for Cofek.
Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi
directed the parties to le their
submissions and scheduled
June 11 for hearing of Cofeks
application.

Poachers have killed a fth rhino
this year at a wildlife conservancy
in Laikipia County.
Although the Ol Jogi Conserv-
ancy is one of the most protected
rhino sanctuaries and uses the
most modern technology to con-
serve wildlife, it has become a key
target of poachers this year.
The conservancy rangers dis-
covered the animals remains at
around 9am while on their routine
patrol.
They suspect poachers shot
the animal earlier in the morning
before sawing o its horn.
No arrest yet
We are yet to arrest any suspect
but we are hopeful of making some
headway by the end of the day,
Laikipia County Kenya Wildlife
Service boss Richard Chepkwony
told the Nation.
It is the second time in two
months that the conservancy has
lost a rhino to poachers.
On March 18, poachers gunned
down a six-year-old white rhino
named Dennis, but were unable
to dehorn it.
This happened on the same
night that an elephant was killed
and its tusks taken away at Mugie
Ranch in Laikipia West.
Two days earlier another rhino
had been killed at Ol Pejeta Ranch,
Nanyuki.

A
n inquest into the death of
former Olympic champion
Samuel Wanjiru started yester-
day with his close friend narrating the
last moments he saw him alive.
Mr Augustine Gatimu Ndirangu
testied that he was surprised to see
both Wanjiru and his wife, Ms Trizah
Njeri Kamau, on the night he allegedly
fell from the balcony of his one-storey
house in Nyahururu, since both were
supposed to be away in Eldoret and
Nairobi, respectively.
Mr Ndirangu said he was having a
drink at the Water Falls Club in Nya-
hururu on the night of May 15, 2011,
when Wanjiru arrived in the company
of three men.
Visibly drunk
I was surprised to see him since
we had spoken a week earlier and
he had informed me that he was at-
tending training in Eldoret. He had
not informed me that he was coming
to Nyahururu on that day, said Mr
Ndirangu.
He added that Wanjiru was visibly
drunk when he entered the club and
sat at another table with the three
men.
Mr Ndirangu said he did not speak
with his friend at the club and did not
notice when he left.
After a few drinks, Mr Ndirangu
said he also left the club with Wanjirus
driver and his cousin.
He dropped the driver, Mr James
Mara, at his home in Muthaiga Estate,
about 500 metres from Wanjirus.
I was surprised to nd Wanjirus
wife there since I knew she was in
Nairobi. After a brief chat, I drove
her to their house and went home,
said Mr Ndirangu.
He testied that at Wanjirus home,
Ms Kamau opened the gate and he
drove into the compound. Another car
was parked outside while the lights in
the main house were on, he added.
Asked whether he went into the
house to greet his friend, Mr Ndirangu
said that he did not. He said he only
heard the watchman say Wanjiru was
already asleep.
I then proceeded to my home but
at 11pm, I received a call from the
driver informing me that Wanjiru had
jumped from his balcony and was
badly injured, said Mr Ndirangu.
He rushed to the scene and found
Wanjiru had fallen onto a metallic
manhole cover and that there was a
lot of blood in the area.

Wanjiru died reportedly died from the
injuries he sustained from the fall.
However, three dierent postmor-
tems came up with dierent results
on the cause of his death leading to
the decision to conduct an inquest to
unravel the mystery.
A police report stated that he
died from injuries sustained in the
fall, but the government pathologist
cast doubt on the ndings and called
for thorough investigations into the
death.
A second postmortem concluded
that Wanjiru could have been mur-
dered and pushed down the balcony,
while a third autopsy report suggested
he might have died due to head in-
juries suered when he accidentally
fell.
The inquest resumes tomorrow.

F
our family members who
died after consuming an
illicit drink have been
buried.
A father, Mr Peter Kimani, 64,
his two sonsCharles Mbiyu, 33,
Augustine Kimani, 30 and their
uncle Paul Kimani Mau, 51, were
laid to rest in Limuru, Kiambu
County, on Tuesday.
Another family member, Pe-
ters son John Njagi, 30, who
went blind after taking the
same liquor, mourned by their
caskets as villagers shed tears
uncontrollably.
Peters family was reduced by
half as his wife Alice Wairimu
was left with Njagi and their
other son George Mau.
Local leaders attended the
emotional send-o, and included
MPs John Kiragu (Limuru), Paul
Koinange (Kiambaa), KnutKi-
ambu West secretary-general
Michael Muna and deputy
county commissioner Kangethe
Thuku.
One of the dead, Paul, was
a teacher at a local primary
school. The Knut ocial said
the problem of excess alcohol
consumption was rife even
among teachers, calling for
remedial action.
We have a big problem and
there is need to put up rehabili-
tation centres and counselling
facilities in hospitals to help
many addicted to alcohol, Mr
Muna said.
Mr Koinange said makers and
sellers of the killer drink should
be traced. Since the Kenya Rev-
enue Authority receives tax from
alcohol producers, it should be
easy to nd the makers of the
poisonous liquor, he said.
KRA through information
from PINs know from whom
they collect tax for a given al-
cohol. We are in pain after losing
so many people to alcohol and
need to know who is responsi-
ble, he said.
Nacada chairman John Mu-
tutho also needs an anti-alcohol
and drugs squad similar to the
Anti-Terrorism Police Unit,
because alcohol is surpassing
terrorism in killing our people,
Mr Koinange added.
Not alcohol but poison
Mr Kiragu said that what the
victims took was not alcohol but
poison. He added that the ght
against illicit drinks should not
be left to the government, but
everybody should speak out.
Area Ward Representative John

Nominated MP Oburu
Oginga was turned away by

Raila Odinga, his younger
brother.
Dr Oginga (right) yester-
day visited the Directorate of
Criminal Investigations (DCI)
headquarters in Nairobi to
record the statement, but he
was told to report the matter
at his local police station.
The former PMs brother last

were plotting to assassinate
Mr Odinga for allegedly un-
dermining them.
Speaking to journalists yes-
terday at the DCI headquarters,
Dr Oburu said he wanted to
give detectives information
that he thought would help
police in investigation.
I have some information
which I think would be useful,
he said. However, I will not

He was to appear before the

by DCI boss Ndegwa Muhoro

I am frustrated, said Dr
Oginga after his statement was

S
tate lawyers have been
reprimanded after mili-
tary chiefs disobeyed
an order to release some 27
former soldiers from deten-
tion.
Three Court of Appeal
judges sought an explana-
tion for the failure of Defence
Cabinet Secretary Raychelle
Omamo and Chief of Defence
Forces Julius Karangi to re-
lease the former soldiers, as
ordered by the High Court.
The 27 were being tried
by a court martial for alleg-
edly deserting the service,
but they moved to the court,
which ordered that they be
released on bail.
The State then went to the
Court of Appeal to challenge
the decision. But on Tuesday,
Judges Hannah Okwengu,
Fatuma Sichale, and Milton
Makhandia sought to know
why the order was diso-
beyed.
You are all lawyers and you
understand that anyone has
to comply with orders of the
courts, Lady Justice Okwengu
told the State lawyers at the
Court of Appeal.
Was there any reason why
the orders have not been com-
plied with?
The Bench reprimanded
them for continuing to
represent Ms Omamo and
General Karangi when an
existing order had not been
obeyed.
A senior counsel from the
Attorney-Generals oce, Mr
Mwangi Njoroge, and Senior
State Prosecution Counsel Al-
exander Muteti were at pains
to exonerate Ms Omamo, Gen
Karangi and Kenya Navy
Commander Ngewa Mukala
of contempt of court.
It is not that they are diso-
beying the court orders but
they have not been served,
said Mr Njoroge.
They further argued that
the former servicemen could
escape to avoid prosecution
if they were released.
The State lawyers were
before the judges to argue
KDFs appeal.
Mr Njoroge and Mr Muteti
submitted that releasing the
detainees would have far
-reaching implications on
military operations.
Serious implication
The orders had a serious
implication on the KDF Act,
said the lawyer.
Even if they are outside
the service as they claim,
they committed an oence
punishable under the Act.
He also argued that the
High Court lacked the power
to suspend proceedings of a
court martial and to grant the
former soldiers on trial bail.
However, the detainees
legal team told the judges that
the state lawyers did not have
the right of audience in court
as long as the order remained
disobeyed.
This is not an arguable
appeal, said Mr Daniel Ka-
munda, a defence lawyer.

S
eems many of us have
been trying to forget
what those erce
warriors in South Sudan
have been up to in the last
couple of months, until they
made it impossible for us to
ignore them any more.
The reports of wanton
slaughter of hundreds of
civilians by both the Juba
government troops and the
Riek Machar rebels in recent
weeks look like something
straight from a Game of
Thrones village massacre.
And with that, once again
we are confronted with
those uncomfortable images
of the African savage at
work.
The combatants in
South Sudan will not fully
commit to a peace pact,
despite pleas and pressure
by the United Nations,
regional diplomacy, and
calls for common sense and
decency by the international
community.
On the weekend,
President Salva Kiir and Mr
Machar signed something in
the Ethiopian capital, Addis
Ababa.
When Kiir arrived home,
he said both he and Machar
had been forced to sign
the agreement to end
ghting and form an interim
government by Ethiopian
Prime Minister Hailemariam
Desalegn, who threatened to
arrest them if they didnt!
Sometimes, looking at a
tragedy like that in South
Sudan, you might despair
about the future of most of
Africa. You would be wrong
because, in the end, I believe
the real force shaping
Africa is not necessarily its
politics.
How? Well, recently I was
at the Junction Mall and
found myself thinking hard
about the Clarks shoe, and
sports accessory maker,
Sketchers, outlets there,
when it occurred to me that
the long-term solution to
the madness in countries
like South Sudan and the
Central African Republic,
is to have a lot of global
brands around like Clarks,
Sketchers, MacDonalds or
Starbucks coee. Or, put
another way, with every
global brand a country
attracts, the prospects for
its stability increase.
We tend to criticise
brands like Starbucks and
MacDonalds as dangerous
symbols of consumption.
They probably are. Still,
they appeal to an interesting
side of us.
If you thought with your
head and wanted to eat
healthy low-fat food, you
would go to MacDonalds. If
you were purely rational and
scientic, you wouldnt fork
out Sh1,000 at a Starbucks.
You could get as good a
coee x for Sh150.
Drinking coee at a place
like Starbucks, however,
has a certain status. But the
important thing is that these
brands allow you to belong
to a new community, a new
tribe (call it tribe2.0). The
tribe2.0 that drinks coee
at Starbucks. The tribe2.0
that eats at MacDonalds.
The tribe2.0 that wears
Sketchers sneakers. The
tribe2.0 that likes RayBan
sunglasses. The tribe2.0
that shops at Body Shop.
Joining these new tribes
requires you to leave behind,
or at least temporarily
suspend, some of your more
native ways. You will have
to walk to the counter and
order your Starbucks coee
yourself. Even if you are a
minister, your househelp
(or indeed even wife) will
not come and kneel and
ask you what you want to
have, so there is something
profoundly democratic
about it.
And beyond a Sketchers
or Nike sneakers being cool,
you dont buy it because the
company is owned by your
uncle or your aunt works
there. It is because a Nike
is a comfortable running or
walking shoe. Your decision
to buy and wear it is thus
detached from who owns
it. To keep to the language,
there is no tribal marker
on a Nike.
Supermarkets like
Nakumatt and Uchumi are
slowly serving the same
purpose. Perhaps your
father shopped at Mama
Njeris corner shop when
you were little. You grow up,
get a job, and also shop at
Mama Njeris because she is
like family.
It is a big step when
you nally abandon Mama
Njeris and go to Nakumatt,
whose owner is not a
family friend. Some brands
re-arrange our identities
and get you to accept to
be something bigger than
your village, town, or
country. A few get us to
learn to embrace a more
depersonalised world.
And so back to South
Sudan. The country
needs to embrace a more
depersonalised political
culture (not easy, other
countries like Kenya have
not yet hacked it). It needs
to be more globalised in its
tastes.
The Dinkas need to
approach power like it was
a Sketchers sneaker they
would buy it, whether or not
a Nuer made it. The Nuer
need to do the same.

WHAT OTHERS SAY | Charles Onyango-Obbo
How some shoes and a cup of coee
hold the secret to peace in our land
Governor, this port
belongs to all Kenyans
M
ombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho may
have been speaking in jest when he
threatened to mobilise the county residents
to forcibly take over the Kenya Ports of Authority
if a law was not be passed to allow it to share its
revenue with the county.
What Mr Joho may not have understood was that
the statement was likely to excite disaection with
the organisation and create bad blood between its
management and the county residents.
Yet he knows pretty well that KPA is a national
asset that generates revenue for the National
Government and benets for all citizens. Its
location in Mombasa is a matter of geography and
should not be construed as though it gives Coast
residents undue advantage over others.
The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution makes a
clear distinction between the functions of national
and county governments. In this particular context,
regulation of international shipping and what is
referred to as related matters are excluded from the
purview of the county governments. At best, their
role is to manage ferries and harbours that deal
with local transportation.
State corporations like KPA and other national
institutions are managed by the National
Government because they are national resources
that are meant to benet all, and not just the
residents of the counties in which they are.
Devolution never meant cannibalisation and the
likes of Mr Joho must have got it wrong if that
is their understanding. A situation where every
governor stands up and makes claim over a national
asset within his area of jurisdiction would easily

Political leaders like Mr Joho ought to be careful

reckless statements that may foment chaos.
Clarify ban on car tints
T
he confusion that has arisen over the
directive by Inspector-General of Police
David Kimaiyo banning tinted windows on
motor vehicles is causing anxiety among motorists.
Even a clarication by police spokesperson
Zipporah Mboroki that the order applies only to
public service vehicles has not helped much. Some
wayward police ocers have been on the road
harassing motorists.
This is unfortunate, as a well-intended security
move is now the source of agony for law-abiding
motorists. It is imperative, therefore, that Mr
Kimaiyos oce clears the air, before crooked
ocers continue extorting bribes.
While we appreciate the eorts to combat
insecurity, especially the mounting threat of
terrorism, it is important that accurate ocial
messages be sent out to the public.
In the crackdown on PSVs with darkened
windows, the police have made the case that it is
easy for criminals to transport dangerous materials
or weapons.
The war on crime can only be won if all fully
cooperate and the ocers work within the law to
enforce the required measures.

ALL THATS NEEDED | Muthoni Gachire & Kemoli Sagala
T
he recent terrorist
attacks and the death of
nearly 90 people from
consuming adulterated alcohol
have exposed the countrys
soft underbelly as regards the
safety of human life.
This has long been coming
and it has been foretold in
several reports done since
2007. One of the best was
written by Peter Gastrow in
2011, titled: Termites at Work:
Transnational Organised Crime
and State Erosion in Kenya.
The report highlighted how
the real threat to security
is corruption, which has
severely compromised law
enforcement. The cardinal
role of any government is the
security and safety of people
and their property. This can
only be ensured when the
State invests properly the
human and material resources
required for safety and
security.
The government recently
embarked on increasing
numbers in the Police Service.
Certainly, this is good as
currently, the number of police
ocers is far below the United
Nations recommended ratio
of one police ocer for every
450 people, yet politicians
and government functionaries
keep demanding personal
bodyguards.
However, increasing the
numbers without oering
proper training and failing
to put into place the proper
mechanisms may only increase
threats to security.
Many police ocers are not
trained in such crucial areas
as forensic science, criminal
proling, forensic psychology,
DNA analysis, automated
ngerprinting and decoding,
among others.
The lack of training in an
age of sophisticated terrorist
attacks has given criminals
an edge. This kind of
investigation and research will
require a highly specialised
Force, and recruiting Form
Four leavers with limited
training will not work.
There is also a need to
invest in robust and eective
regulatory institutions that
will safeguard consumer
products through supervision,
monitoring and quality
assurance.
Regrettably, many such
institutions like the Kenya
Bureau of Standards, the
Pharmacy and Poisons Board,
or Nacada are inadequately
staed and ineective.
It is critical that they be
strengthened to carry out
their mandate of ensuring the
safety of consumable products.
Currently, it is easy for one
to purchase any drug o the
counter without prescription.
No proper analysis is done
on many consumer products,
and it is no wonder that
anyone can easily obtain any
drug or poisonous product
and disseminate it to an
unsuspecting public with
the severe consequences we
recently witnessed.
Vision 2030 envisages
Kenya as an industrialised,
middle income country
within a context of a secure
environment for all. Security
for all is critical for sustainable
development and it would
be nave to think that the
recent terrorist attacks and
petty crimes will not erode
public condence in State
security apparatus as well as
have economic ramications.
Investors are risk-averse and
will avoid a country which
is insecure or one in which
justice is elusive.
There has been much
talk about corruption but
clearly little has been done
to tackle it. Most of us are
good at pointing ngers at the
government and saying there
isnt enough political will to
end it.
Although this could be
true, corruption is not just a
problem that can be solved
by the government. It is a
national problem that stems
from the value we attach to
money. As columnist Sunny
Bindra recently wrote, this
idolisation of money has grave
consequences.
We have sold our souls and
this country in exchange for
money, thus compromising
our security everywhere.
Unless we change our values,
we are going down a steep
slope and it will be dicult to
rebuild our nation.
Let us remember that when
a life is lost, it simply isnt
just another statistic for those
who knew the victim. That
man or woman was a son or
daughter, brother or sister,
husband or wife or a friend
who contributed to this nation
in one way or another.
We, therefore, cannot aord
to adopt a passive attitude in
ensuring our personal safety
and national security.

A
Turkana proverb advises us to
never interrupt a man who is
praising his favourite bull. Being
the focus of the herd and the centre of the
familys livelihood, it is, indeed, worthy of
commendation.
If properly harnessed, the recent
discovery of oil in the Turkana region
can be the equivalent of such a bull. But
even as we praise it, to benet from it
will require us to develop knowledge and
the capacity to take advantage of the
opportunities it presents.
Kenya is now at the very beginning of
an exciting journey to realise the benets
that oil production can bring. But we must
rst feed and nurture the bull.
While nomadic life for many in the
marginalised lands in northern Kenya has
changed little for hundreds of years, the
black gold underneath our feet holds
the promise of transforming the fortunes
of the region. It is a potential boon, not
only for the people of the county, but for
Kenya and East Africa as a whole.
Twenty years ago, I went to school
following the theft of our livestock by
rustlers. Then, as a young goatherd in
Lokori Village in what is now Turkana
East Constituency, I had little idea of
what my future held.
Today, as a beneciary of the Tullow
Group Scholarship Scheme, which saw me
acquire a Masters degree in Petroleum
Engineering at the London South Bank
University, and an internship at Tullow
Oils oces in the UK, I have a rst-hand
appreciation of the specialised skills
necessary if we are to secure and grow
Kenyas oil industry.
In my frequent travels back to Kenya, I
marvel at the turn my life has taken since
that fateful day. From herding goats to
inspecting and testing oil wells in the very
grounds where I used to frolic, this has
truly been a humbling journey.
Oil exploitation usually evolves
according to certain phases: the
exploration stage involving surveys and
exploratory drilling; the appraisal stage
where commercial viability is assessed;
and the development stage, which
determines the best option for maximum
recovery of the oil reserves.
Technological advances
It used to be a process that would take
up to 40 years, as it did in Angola, but
advances in technology have cut this
time-frame substantially.
That said, successful exploitation of
oil discoveries still takes time, capital
investment, specialists and a great deal
of preparation. At all points along the
way, there exist opportunities for local
entrepreneurs and professionals.
A decit in local capacity to take
advantage of these opportunities is one
of the reasons why, in many parts of
the continent, the discovery of oil has
generated resentment and driven people
to curse, rather than praise, the bull.
Our region, too, has a major local skills
gap in oil and gas engineering, as well
as in the sectors related technical elds,
which include journalism, law, logistics,
archaeology, and preservation of the
cultural heritage. Investments made today
in the education and skills of local people
will help address this gap.
Many young people, like myself,
have benetted from bursaries and
scholarships which Tullow Kenya
has funded to improve retention and
transition rates in schools across the
county, as well as a national scholarship
scheme which has helped 25 Kenyan
students, including seven from Turkana,
to pursue postgraduate studies in elds
related to oil and gas.
They will be in the vanguard of this new
and exciting industry and they can dream
of helping their families and communities
escape poverty.
If we continue to invest in the skills,
education and innate potential of our
people to exploit the natural resource
beneath their feet, we will not only be
helping them own the future, but ensuring
that coming generations will also have a
good reason to praise the bull.

MARKED IMPROVEMENT. The mounting deaths
from illicit brews in nearly 10 counties and spreading
should alarm the entire country, says Edmond
Kipngeno. However, Edmond is pleased to note that
since the publicised sacking of some public ocials,
especially chiefs accused of failing to prevent the
deaths, there has been a marked improvement in
dealing with the menace. Now, chiefs are vigilant to
ensure the deadly brews are not sold in their areas at
all costs. I hope this remains consistent.

WHERE IS RED CROSS? One prime organisation
that has not been as visible as David Nganga would
have expected, as illicit brews continue to claim lives
around the country is the Red Cross. David wonders
just how come the Kenya Red Cross Society has not
come out to rally Kenyans all over to assist their
compatriots aicted by the lethal drink menace.

POLITICIANS DIRTY. Recalling the popular
saying that politics is a dirty game, Dave Mungai says
that even dirtier are the leaders themselves. Just
after we gained independence in 1963, whenever an
MP spoke, the people would listen because witch-
hunting, back-stabbing and tribalism had no place
in our society, he recalls, adding: Today, hardly a
day passes without a governor, senator, MP or county
rep, accusing another on unfounded claims meant to
demean him or her.
THEYRE SCAPEGOATS. The police, other
security agencies and the administration, James
Githinji notes, have come in for castigation for the
troubles facing the country, ranging from terrorism to
general crimes and killer brews. But he cannot see how
the condemnation is going to motivate them to rise to
the occasion and stem the vices. As much as it is their
duty, they cannot do it alone. They need the assistance
of all of us, just like employers can only excel in
enhancing productivity if their workers perform.
ADVERT WONT FLY. Some years ago, Dr Frank
H. Mkweli claims, Kenya Airways excelled at creating
some very good adverts that he always looked
forward to. This is no longer the case as the airline
has allegedly taken to simply aping its Dutch partner,
KLM. Recently, the Dutch rm ran a campaign titled,
America on Sale, on its destinations in the US. And
you guessed right, KQ has come up with, Africa on
Sale. Come on, KQ! That just wont y! His contact is

VERY CREATIVE. The people who come up
with the names of bars and restaurants, as X. N.
Iraki, conrms, may not be that creative themselves,
but they are always abreast of major developments on
the national front and on the international scene. The
university don, on one of his regular recent travels,
came across one known as The Hague Pub near
Karatina in Nyeri County. It would be interesting to
nd out what sort of brew is served there, quips Iraki.
Have a riveting day, wont you!

YESTERDAYS QUESTION
Do you believe Ethiopia forced Kiir and Machar to sign peace deal?
JOSEPH G. MUTHAMA: No. But
the disagreement between South
Sudan President Salva Kiir and his
former deputy Riek Machar will lead
to wholesale slaughter of innocent
citizens and displacement of hun-
dreds of thousands.
P. JUMA: No. Kiir has started a
blame game for violating the cease-
re hours after it came into eect,
so ghting will frustrate international
mediators who had pressured both
sides to stop the ethnic-fuelled con-
ict.
CATHY ATIENO: President Salva
Kiir and rebel commander Riek Ma-
char met face to face last Friday to
sign the ceasere deal - the second
time the two sides have promised to
stop ghting after an accord in Janu-
ary swiftly collapsed. The two appear
interested only in war and their selsh
interests.
AHMED ABDI: Perhaps. Remember
the US is rather keen on exploiting
South Sudans minerals, so it was
possible that they were forced to sign
this deal. Recall too, that US secretary
had talked tough earlier.
DEBATE QUESTION
Will order to im-
pound cars with
tinted windows help
ght terrorism?
Send your comments to:
mailbox@ke.nationmedia.com
O
n Tuesday the Inspector
General, through a speech
read on his behalf, outlawed
all vehicles with tinted windows
and further gave an order for such
vehicles to be impounded. This has
elicited debate as to whether the
directive is within the law.
The police spokesperson imme-
diately claried that the directive
only applied to PSVs, but added
that police would soon zero in on
private vehicles.
Section 119 of the Trac Act pro-
vides that the Minister may make
Rules prescribing certain matters.
Subsequently, Rule 3 of the Traf-
c (Amendment) Rules, 2009 as
promulgated by Legal Notice No.
173 of 2009 provides: A person
shall not drive or operate a public
service vehicle that is tted with
tinted windows.
Meaning of tint
For the purposes of this rule,
tinted means shaded, coloured or
treated in a similar manner so that
...objects inside are not ordinarily
seen clearly from outside.
The rst issue is whether tinting
vehicle windows is illegal. Tint
is dened by the Concise English
Dictionary, as shade or variety of
colour; a trace of something;
colour slightly. The origin of the
word is the Italian word, tint
meaning to colour, or the Latin
word, tinctus meaning dyeing.
But reading Section 119, the min-
ister is inter-alia permitted by the
Act to create measures for generally
restricting or regulating the use of
vehicles in such manner as the cir-
cumstances and safety on the roads
may appear to him require.
Safety is a prime considera-
tion for any PSV owner and both
the minister and other organs of
State have an obligation to ensure
the safety of passengers. If tinting
compromises security, then the IG
is acting within the law.
Further, it is my understanding
that the Trac Act was enacted to
ensure the safety of the public and
that is why, for example, Rule 30 of
the Trac Rules provides that the
design of windows should be such
that the driver has a full view of the
road and trac ahead.
Yet government ocials drive
around in tinted windows for secu-
rity reasons. A tinted window will
protect a passengers privacy. A
vehicle that is not tinted will invite
thieves who clearly see property in
the vehicle; petty thieves will be at-
tracted to music systems, phones
or laptops. Driving at night, a rob-
ber, thief and or carjacker would
not be able to know the number
of occupants in the vehicle, thus
would be reluctant to pounce.
Some vehicles have customised
glass tint from the manufacturer.
The way the government is han-
dling the whole tint issue is not
right; its drastic, reactionary and
driven by paranoia it links the
whole operation to terrorism.
This is wrong because over 90
per cent of vehicles in Nairobi are
tinted. In fact the law only criminal-
ises PSV tint and not private.

Order against tinted car windows a
drastic panic reaction to terrorism
FILE | NATION
Passengers board a matatu in Nairobi last week. A new police directive out-
laws tinted PSV windows.
Emails from correspondents
Learn from Boko Haram and secure our schools and colleges
The kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls by
the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram should not
be taken lightly by our security agencies. They should
not see it as a Nigerian problem, but rather use it as
case study in the war against terrorism. We need to
critically analyse the failures of Nigerians.
It is an open secret that terrorists thrive in copycat
behaviour. Al-Shaabab know that terrorism is a war
wedged psychologically through mind games. They
attack when and where you least expect them.
Al-Shaabab attacks in Kenya show a clear pat-
tern. Firstly, the group targets a location with a large
number of people: shopping malls, bus termini,
churches, entertainment clubs, etc to cause as much
damage as possible. Knowing that similar places will
thereafter be under heavy security, they locate an-
other target with less or no security at all.
We tend to be more reactive, responding to attacks;
we then slow down, laxity sets in, and life goes back
to normal until another attack catches up with us.
Back to Boko Haram. What can our security agen-
cies do to prevent such an occurrence here at home?
The State should move with speed to guard our
schools and colleges, or at least show that it is con-
scious of the security needs. The saying that preven-
tion is better than cure will only ring true if the appro-
priate proactive measures are put in place.
MICHAEL OGAYE ODHIAMBO, Mois Bridge
Removing tinted windows from
vehicles will not stop terrorist at-
tacks. The police order is already
terrorising the majority of motorists
who have tinted windows, since it is
an avenue for corruption.
Tint protects the interior of the
vehicle from fading. It is cool, espe-
cially in the scorching sun. It also
protects the occupants from danger-
ous ultra-violet rays.
Let IG David Kimaiyo not beat
about the bush in nding the remedy
for terrorism. Instead of impounding
vehicles, he should rst impound
those ocers taking bribes at road-
blocks, and especially on our porous
boundaries.
JUSTIN N. NKARANGA, Mombasa
Does the Police Department and
the relevant authorities really think
that having clear vehicle windows
will solve the security issues in the
country?
Removing tint windows will only
increase crime rates because petty
thieves will clearly see what phone
and what laptop are in which vehicle,
while the propagators of terrorism
will keep up with their activities that
hardly depend on the tinted win-
dows.
ALLYLAH MSENYA, Nairobi
Mr Kimaiyos security measure
to have cars with tinted windows
impounded immediately is unac-
ceptable. Not everyone who owns a
tinted car window is a terrorist. This
is too desperate.
He should have given citizens time
to remove the tint. Not everyone has
money ready to incur such instanta-
neous expenses.
NGUGI NGANGA, Gatundu North
The IGs latest order is an inva-
sion of privacy. What next? Homes
must remove curtains from windows
so that police can ensure there are
no terrorist activities going on in-
side? This is unconstitutional. By all
means, let police stop and inspect
cars with tinted windows, but declar-
ing them illegal is actually illegal
PREEYESH SHAH, Nairobi
The Inspector-General has dis-
played lack of professionalism and
naivet by banning tinted windows.
Car windows enhance the comfort
and security of users, and it is wrong
to shove all of them o our roads
merely because a few terrorists con-
tinue to evade or escape the long
arm of the government. Eliminate
graft, and there will be no terrorism.

PROBE EMBU CLAIMS: For the
welfare of Embu County people, the
sooner impeached Governor Martin
Wamboras case is concluded, the
better. Perhaps he will go to court to
challenge the verdict by the Senate. I
would not be surprised if he did, but
as to whether he will get a hearing is
another matter. It would be interest-
ing to see the Supreme Court rule
that the verdict of the Senate is nal.
Or that it is not. But why is the AG
and DPP not taking him to court?
Nothing personal, but the MCAs
claims need to be investigated.

POOR ARTICLE: The opinion ar-
ticle To the left (Nation, May 13)

gic Communications Unit is an em-
barrassment to Kenya. It is poorly
written and lacks substance other
than praise the Chinese. What I was
yearning to hear are plans to narrow
the trade imbalance between the two

tion of the current thinking at State

come beggars and sycophants.
OMARI NYABERA, Nairobi
KILLER SPIRITS: That two sales-
men died in Narok after being forced
by residents to drink liquors they
had supplied to local bars indicates
that the toxic spirits are still readily
available out there. The good MCAs
in aected counties may have been
kind enough to settle hospital bills
and buy cons, but for how long
must we keep doing this? In fact,
those pledges will be paid by taxpay-
ers and no amount of money can
bring the souls back to life. The cur-
rent zeal with which police are raid-
ing should be standard police duty.
DAVE MUNGAI, Nairobi
BAN TWITTER: I refer to Macharia
Gaithos piece of May 6. I agree
with him that Kenyans are misus-
ing twitter by turning on their own
President instead of the enemy. I am
now convinced that Kenyans are be-
coming reckless with this otherwise
potent social tool. We have become
like a child with a sharp, double-
edged knife. That we frequently top
the African chat charts shouldnt
be taken as an accolade in my view,
but rather, a manifestation of an idle
chatter-class that can aord high-
end technology. Actually, I propose
that Kenya goes the Turkish way and
bans twitter for a while.

A
judge has been asked
to disqualify himself
from hearing a case
challenging new transport
regulations.
National Transport and
Safety Authority (NTSA)
said yesterday High Court
Judge George Odunga should
not hear the case because he
had handled a related one
touching on the night travel
restriction.
NTSA noted that while it
had no integrity allegations
regarding Justice Odunga,
another judge should handle
the matter.
If this matter must be
heard then let it go to another
judge, we are not questioning
your integrity, the only rea-
son is that you have heard
this matter before, ruled on
it and issued orders based
on these regulations, said
Lawyer Charles Agwara for
NTSA.

sented by State counsel
Emmanuel Bitta, Transport
Cabinet Secretary Michael
Kamau admits the new regu-
lations were passed without
being Parliaments approval.
Mr Kamau further agrees
he did not notify the court
through his Principal Secre-
tary during the hearing of a
case led by bus owners seek-
ing the suspension of night
travel restriction.
He, however, says he con-
sulted the Attorney-General,
who approved the regulations
to ensure public safety.
I was constrained to
promulgate Legal Notice 23
of 2014 to ensure that there
were subsisting regulations
that would ensure public
safety was safeguarded, Mr
Kamau said.
The Cabinet Secretary
denied being aware that the
case led by bus owners on
night travel regulations had
been nalised.
I was not aware that this
court had heard the case to
conclusion, he said in the
court documents.
This means that an order
granted by Justice Odunga
on April 14 lifting the night
travel restriction remains in
force.
The judge said he would
rule on whether to disqualify
himself the case on June 9.

T
he education loans
board might be forced to
slash the maximum loan
given to a university student to
Sh35,000 from Sh60,000 due
to shortage of funds.
This is after the Treasury
maintained its allocation to the
board despite rise in the number
of students being enrolled in
universities.
Higher Education Loans Board
(Helb) chief executive Charles
Ringera said the adjustments
are necessary to enable more
students to get the money.
Since there is an increase in
the number of students joining
institutions of higher learning,
we expect more eligible students
to apply for loans. There shall
be a crisis as we were allocated
Sh5.6 billion against a budget of
Sh8.8 billion.
Unless we get additional
money, we will be forced to
make adjustments on what we
have to enable more students to
benet from the kitty, he told
Nation yesterday.
Mr Ringera said the Sh5.6
billion allocation in the Budget
Estimates include Sh2.4 billion
that Helb recovered from past
beneciaries, meaning the actual
allocation from the Treasury is
Sh3.34 billion, the same as last
year.
The Kenya Universities and
Colleges Central Placement
Service last week announced
that student intake increased
from 53,000 in 2012 to 58,000
last year.
The given amount is only
enough to sponsor continuing
students who use up Sh5.5 billion
per year, meaning we will need
more money for students joining
the scheme as from September,
said Mr Ringera.
Although Helb expects to
recover Sh3.3 billion from ben-
eciaries this year, he said this
is not dependable as students
will have commenced sessions
with only a quarter of the amount
collected.
This is unwelcome news to
university students, who have
said the current amount is not
enough to cater for their fees and
other needs.
We even wanted to advocate
for an increase in the current
loan to enable us to meet the
ever-increasing cost of living.
If they reduce the amount,
students will greatly suffer,
said Student Organisation of
Nairobi University chairman
Paul Ongili.
Mr Ongili said his goal as
a student leader has been to
champion for increase in loan
allocation.
As the number of students
increase, the government has
maintained the amount of money

should be reviewed, said the law
student.
Helb currently supports
154,000 students in public
universities and 10,000 more
in tertiary colleges.
The board hopes to approve
loans for about 70,000 new
applicants, who require Sh2.4
billion.
This, according to the Helb
boss, is the funding decit they
will soon be facing.
Meanwhile, the Sh400 million
set aside this year by Helb to
benet Technical and Vocational
Education Training institutions
is lying idle as the students have
failed to apply.
The special programme allows
each student to access between
Sh20,000 and Sh30,000 loan
and Sh8,000 to Sh15,000 bur-
saries, with the neediest getting
the highest amount.
Institution managers have said
lack of awareness is hindering
students from applying.
TVET chairman Edwin Tarno
said they might not achieve the
target of 20,000 applicants
unless major issues are ad-
dressed.
Other than ignorance among
parents and students, he said,
inappropriate timing in modular
programmes has been inconven-
iencing students who wish to
benet from the fund.

High fees will lock out poor students, leaders warn
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
MPs from Busia have opposed
increase of university fees.
They said the decision would deny
children from poor families an oppor-
tunity to pursue higher education.
Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba
and his Nambale counterpart John
Bunyasi said most of the students
who qualied to join public universi-
ties came from poor families.
Mr Namwamba questioned how the
government was willing to pay for
Anglo Leasing contracts but had no
money to help needy students attain
higher education.
The Jubilee Government has
failed and as Cord we want univer-
sity education to be cheaper, not more
expensive, said Mr Namwamba.
Speaking during the ocial open-
ing of Rukala Health Centre, Mr
Namwamba said parents were already
burdened by high cost of living and
increasing the fees would make their
situation worse.
Mr Bunyasi said the government
should consider scrapping university
fees instead of increasing them to
close the gap between the rich and
the poor.
Since education is the key to suc-
cess, we want our children to further
their education so that they can have
a better future.

NAKURU
Apologise to Ruto, leaders tell MP
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kipsigis leaders in Nakuru County
have told Kuresoi MP Zakayo Cherui-
yot to apologise to Deputy President
William Ruto for attacking him in
public.
Nakuru Deputy Governor Joseph
Ruto and other politicians accused
Mr Cheruiyot of being a modern-
day tribalist.
We warn Mr Cheruiyot to stop
using the Deputy President as his
punching bag every time he has his
own political problems.
Even if he invested a lot in the
formation of URP, he should not use
that as a reason to attack the Deputy
President in public, said Mr Ruto.
Solai Ward Representative Paul
Chebor also condemned the MP,
saying he had exposed himself as a
tribalist who wanted to cause chaos
in Nakuru County.
Attacking Mr Ruto in public was
unnecessary as better ways to solve
their dierences were available, he
said.
Stood by his statement
However, Mr Cheruiyot yesterday
said he stood by his statement that
the Deputy President wanted to cause
instability among the Kalenjins.
In a text message to the Nation,
he said the real tribalists were the
Deputy Governor and some Nakuru
County Assembly members. His
record as a civil servant spoke for
itself, he added.
The MP said he had the right to
speak and advise the county leader-
ship to implement devolution and not
interfere with national issues that were
not in their mandate.
The MP had accused the Deputy
President of undermining elected
leaders from the South Rift and
fuelling conict among them.
The statement, according to the
Kipsigis leaders, could hurt the
communitys unity.
The Deputy Governor said the al-
legation against Mr Ruto could easily
be believed by many as the Kuresoi
South MP was a career civil servant
who served under President Moi.

G
overnors have refuted claims
that they intend to form
a political party to field a
presidential candidate in the 2017
General Election.
Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya said
the Council of Governors did not have
such plans.
Mr Mvurya (right), who is also the
councils deputy chairman, said the
allegations were unfounded.
Addressing journalists in Ukunda,
Kwale County, the governor said the
council has never talked about form-
ing a party in any of its sittings.
We do not have any plans to form
a political party and there is no day
that such decisions are going to be
made because we all belong to dier-
ent political groups, he said.
Mr Mvurya said the issue also never
came up in their recent conference
in Naivasha.
He added that the main issue
governors usually discuss in council
meetings is how they can protect
devolution for the benefit of all
Kenyans.
In the council, we normally work as
a team in order to ensure devolution
succeeds and I would like Kenyans to
know that our relationship has never
been based on political inclinations,
the county boss said.
He further claimed that those who
started the rumour were enemies of
devolution and that their intentions
are bound to fail.
The deputy chairman said as a
council, they were committed to
ensure that devolution succeeds
for the benet of the citizens they
represent.
If there are people using these
means to hinder devolution, at the
end of the day we shall know all of
them and they will be ashamed to see
devolution working at the expense of
their ill-motives, he said.
According to the allegations, gov-
ernors want to form a party through
which they can front their preferred
presidential candidate whom they will
unanimously support.
Council chairman Isaac Ruto who
spoke about the party said it will
counter the Jubilee governments ef-
forts to frustrate devolution.
Mr Ruto has accused the Jubilee
government of undermining devolu-
tion.
He said the party, Chama Cha
Ugatuzi, is in the final stages of
registration.

Man gets 60
years for rape
of children
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A Nakuru court yesterday
sentenced a man to 60 years im-
prisonment for deling two minors
aged 11 and 13 years.
Senior resident magistrate
Judicaster Nthuku found David
Karanja Ndungu, guilty of com-
mitting the oence on October 5,
2010, in Nakuru County.
The father of one was also con-
victed of touching another minor
inappropriately.
The evidence given in this
court leaves no doubt that you
committed the heinous act, I ac-
cordingly convict you to serve as
an example to would-be oenders,
said Ms Nthuku.
Karanja lured the two girls on
their way home from school to
have sex with him near the road-
side.
He was caught red-handed by
a passer-by who raised the alarm.
The accused was seized by villag-
ers who also beat him thoroughly
before frogmarching him to Nakuru
Central Police Station.
Pleading for leniency Karanja told
the court he suered from frequent
mental problems and that he had
a young family that solely relied
on him.
However, a medical report from
Mathari Hospital presented in court
indicated that he was mentally
sound and t for trial.
Ms Nthuku said: My hands are
tied considering that the penalty
against this serious offence is
clearly spelt out in the law.

P
olice are trying to unravel forces
behind attacks that have rocked
Kitengela in Kajiado County since
last week.
Already, three people have been killed
while four others are still missing as the
clash between two rival Mungiki gangs
current and former memberscontinues
unabated. The groups are hunting each
other in the open, with some hiding fear-
ing for their lives.
We are trying to establish the people
behind the attacks but we have so far ar-
rested 12 suspects, Kajiado County Police
Commander Tito Kilonzi told the Nation
at his oce.
The ght, which some Mungiki insiders
attribute to control over properties they
have acquired, started on May 4.
A section of Mungiki members from
Nairobi had joined worshippers at Hope
International Church (renamed World-
wide Hope Ministries Church)which
was started by Maina Njenga. Mr Njenga
is the founder of Mungiki but he claims
to have renounced the organised criminal
gang after converting to Christianity.
The gang attacked some worshippers,
blindfolded them and bundled them into
a van.
They took us to a house and tortured
us for more than three hours before taking
us to a plot in Athi River where we have
been erecting structures trying to establish
ourselves, a survivor of the May 4 attack
narrated from his hideout in Kitengela.
He said during the torture, three of
his colleagues were bludgeoned to death
while 13 others were injured. They were
treated at the nearby Shalom Hospital
and discharged.
In a revenge attack, the group living on
the 4,000 acres previously owned by East
African Portland spotted their rivals the
following day in Kitengela town and at-
tacked them using crude weapons.
They also burnt down the van that had
ferried them the previous day.
Mr Kilonzi said the owner of the vehicle
went missing after the incident.
This is what is frustrating our eorts
to establish whos behind these wars, the
police boss said.
Even those who had been injured, he
added, are afraid of recording statements
with the police.
Last Sunday, he said, a group had assem-
bled at Milimani in Kitengela and started
arming themselves as they planned to cause
chaos in the church.
We went and dispersed them but a sec-
tion of them managed to nd their way
into the church where they attacked the
congregation but they were overpowered.
This is how we arrested the 12 suspects,
Mr Kilonzi said.
According to the survivor, who cannot
be named for the sake of his security, the
gang from Nairobi is giving Mr Njenga
conditions.
They are telling him to either surrender
to them some of the properties we acquired
together during the Mungiki heydays or
share with them oerings collected during
church services. If he cannot comply, they
are asking him to abandon his faith and lead
all of us back to our old ways of extorting
money from people, the source said.
Another group of seven survivors is
being housed by a pastor in Athi River,
Machakos County. The same gang, he
said, had accompanied Mr Njenga to a
church crusade he held in Nakuru in the
last week of April.
Members of this gang are always
dressed in black suits and pink shirts and
what we dont know is whether Maina (Mr
Njenga) is supporting them or not, the
survivor who works in the informal sector
in Kitengela said.
However, Mr Njenga yesterday dismissed
claims by the survivor and critics saying he
does not owe anyone money or property.
Those unleashing terror are simply
criminals and their intention is to desta-
bilize the peace we have been enjoying. Let
people stop linking me with Mungiki, which
is a gone case, Mr Njenga said.
He accused some politicians of trying to
undermine him saying they have become
envious of his inuence among the youth
after mobilizing more than 10,000 of them
to proclaim Christianity under his leader-
ship at Hope International Church.

T
he degree certificate
obtained by Mombasa
Governor Ali Hassan
Joho from Kampala University
is a fraud, the Uganda National
Council of Higher Education
(NCHE), has said.
The details emerged even as
a Mombasa judge directed that
a case challenging the academic
credentials of the governor be
forwarded to the Chief Justice
for further direction.
In Uganda, the council chaired
by Prof Nyeko Pen-Mogi adopted
the recommendations of a sub-
committee which had been asked
to investigate how the governor
obtained a Bachelors degree from
the private university.
There was no clear evidence
that academic due process was
followed from admission to
graduation regarding a Bachelor
of Business Administration degree
(Human Resource Management
option) awarded to Mr Hassan Ali
Joho by Kampala University, the
council said in a resolution.
It further said in its April 30,
2013, report that it does not recog-
nise Mr Johos degree, a decision
that further complicates matters
for the Cord governor, who is
ghting for political survival after
his rivals went to court to chal-
lenge his election on the grounds
that he was not a degree holder.
The law requires a governor
and his deputy to be university
graduates.
NCHE has said that Mr Joho
may not have been in Uganda
to physically undertake studies,
raising doubts about how the uni-
versity awarded him the degree.
It was acting on the recommen-
dations of a committee chaired
by Mr S.H. Nsubuga, which had
it had that Mr Joho fraudulently
obtained the said qualications
from Kampala University and
that he neither qualied for ad-
mission to the degree programme
nor was he subjected to the due
process.
The committee also found that
Mr Joho paid his entire fee for the
programme in lump sum.
The university provided an ad-
mission letter, degree transcripts,
graduation list and graduation day
photographs to support Mr Johos
degree claim but the committee
still dismissed these.
In addition, the receipts pre-
sented as evidence for payment
of university fees were forgeries,
the committee had said before
forwarding its recommendations
to NCHE.
It also asked NCHE to inves-
tigate the entire admission and
graduation of all the students
who graduated with Mr Joho on
February 28, 2013.
The report also said that Mr
Joho did not live in Uganda for
a sucient period of time and,
therefore, could not have fullled
the Kampala University in-service
mode requirement.
Said the report: We, therefore,
conclude that Hassan Ali Joho did
not full the due process related to
acquiring the Bachelor of Business
Administration degree of Kampala
University.
Yesterday in Mombasa, Mr Jus-
tice Edward Muriithi directed that
Mr Johos case be referred to the
Chief Justice after consenting to
submissions made by lawyers rep-
resenting petitioners, respondents
and interested parties, all of whom
had said that there were substan-
tive issues which ought to be dealt
with by a three-bench judge.

airobi County should
merge some of its
primary schools and
convert them into village
polytechnics.
This was the proposal made
by a taskforce on education
set up to come up with sug-
gestions on how to address
education challenges in the
county.
A draft report by the task-
force says that while some
schools especially in the
slums were overpopulated
and understaffed, others
in the county had virtually
empty classrooms.
St Bridgets school had
only 72 students while Mus-
lim Primary school had 90
students being served by 28
classrooms.
St Georges was also found
to be visibly underpopulated
notwithstanding the 3,000
student capacity it has.
The report identied land
grabbing as the biggest threat
to city schools. The vice is or-
chestrated with the knowledge
of ocials at City Hall.
The taskforce chairman,
Mr Mark Matunga said that
it would cost the county dearly
to renovate such schools yet
they could be put to better
use if they served as village
polytechnics to cater for the
countys youth.
The cost of repair for some
of these schools range from
Sh30 million to Sh70 million,
the same amount needed for
setting up new institutions
which is more pragmatic in
the sense that they would be
of more use to the county,
he said.
Currently, Nairobi has only
three village polytechnics
- one in Dagoretti and two
in Kayole.
The county has no technical
and vocational training insti-
tution of its own after Nairobi
Polytechnic was converted
into a university college.
The taskforce also recom-
mended the setting up of
village polytechnics in all
sub-counties.

ABUJA, Wednesday
M
ore than 200 school-
girls today began their
second month as Boko
Haram hostages as international
powers ramped up eorts to track
down the savage Nigerian Islam-
ist group.
Lawmakers began debating a
request from President Goodluck
Jonathan for a six-month exten-
sion to a state of emergency rst
imposed in three northeast states
worst aected by the violence ex-
actly a year ago.
A total of 223 of the 276 girls
who were abducted from their
school in the remote town of
Chibok, Borno state, on April 14
are still missing. Street protests
were held to mark the one-month
anniversary of their kidnapping.
In London, British Prime Minis-
ter David Cameron told parliament
that a Sentinel surveillance aircraft
and a military team will be sent to
Abuja as part of the international
rescue operation.
In Paris, President Francois
Hollandes oce said the leaders
of Benin, Cameroon, Niger and
Chad would meet with Nigerias
President Goodluck Jonathan in
the French capital on Saturday
for a security summit.
Representatives from the Eu-
ropean Union, Britain and the
United States would also attend,
the Elysee said.
The meeting will discuss...
how to cut o (Boko Haram) by
intelligence, how to train to ght
and drive out the killers, Foreign
Minister Laurent Fabius added.
France is not taking anyones
position but our role is to help
Africans ensure security because
there cant be any solution with-
out democracy, development and
security.
On Monday, Boko Haram
released a video purporting to
show about 130 of the missing girls
and claimed they had converted
to Islam. All of them were later
identied as attending the school
that was attacked in Chibok.
The Islamist groups leader,
Abubakar Shekau, suggested
they could be freed in a prisoner
exchange.
Special Duties Minister Taminu
Turaki has said the government
had always been willing to talk
with the insurgents.
Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole
Soyinka, however, doubted that
talks would make headway, sug-
gesting Boko Harams leader was
incapable of dialogue.
The winner of the 1986 Nobel
Prize for Literature told AFP by
phone from Los Angeles that
Shekau was high on religion
and drugs.
For me, we are dealing with a
sub-human species, he said. How
do you dialogue with that kind of
obscenity?
Mr Jonathan and his govern-
ment have been widely criticised
for their slow response to the
kidnapping. But they were forced
to react in the face of a growing
social media campaign that has
won wide support across the world
and contributed to international
pressure.
Specialist US, British, French
and Israeli teams have been sent
to help in the search operation,
which Nigerias military has said
is concentrated on the Sambisa
forest area of Borno state.
There are fears, though, that
the girls may have been split into
groups and taken into neighbour-
ing Chad or Cameroon, which
Boko Haram has used as bases
to launch attacks and safe havens
in the past.
Nigerias senators summoned
the ministers of defence and po-
lice aairs, as well as military and
security chiefs, to brief them about
the application to extend the state
of emergency on Thursday as the
issue was discussed in the lower
House of Representatives.
By law, the request has to be
approved by two-thirds of both
of chambers.
It is the tradition of the Senate
to appraise and assess the per-
formance of the state of emergency
before we debate any further
extension, said Senate majority
leader Victor Ndoma-Egba.
Mr Jonathan is facing calls to
explore a negotiated settlement
with Boko Haram given the ap-
parent lack of progress in curbing
the violence after the state of
emergency was imposed on May
14 last year.
Initial gains from a surge of
troops to Borno, Yobe and Ad-
amawa states, tighter security, as
well as measures such as curfews
and cutting the mobile phone net-
works, appear to have been lost.
Attacks have increased on rural
areas leading to mounting civil-
ian casualties. More than 1,500
are estimated to have been killed
this year alone. (AFP)

Khartoum
meeting
calls for
better ties
with China
KHARTOUM, Wednesday
The Third China-African
Peoples Forum ended in
Khartoum yesterday with
leaders publishing the
Khartoum Report, calling for
greater cooperation between
Chinese and African NGOs.
The report focused on the
importance of communication
and visits between Chinese
and African leaders and
organisations as well as
collaboration between the
organisations to serve the
development and child and
maternity centers.
The report called for
expansion of joint technology,
environment, health, culture
and poverty relief programs,
in addition to establishing
Chinese projects focusing on
environmental protection in
Africa as well as promoting
small joint projects between
NGOs.
Sudanese Assistant to the
President Ibrahim Ghandour, in
his closing remarks, expressed
hope that the forum would boost
relations and deepen the ties
between the non-governmental
and civil societies in China and
the African countries.
The relations between
the countries of our African
continent and friendly China
have always remained a
perfect and inspiring model
for the relations among
nations, because they were
based on sincere cooperation
and keenness on realisation and
exchange of mutual benets.
he said.
The forum opened its sessions
in Khartoum on Monday with
attendance of over 200 delegates
from 26 African countries
and a Chinese delegation
consisting of 210 members.

JUBA, Wednesday
T
he United States will
sanction more South
Sudanese leaders if the
peace deal President Salva Kiir
and rebel leader Riek Machar
signed in Addis Ababa last
week fails to hold, Ambassador
Susan Page has said.
The deal was reached under
direct pressure from the US
and the United Nations to end
ve months of conict that has
killed about 10,000 people and
displaced 1.2 million others
from their homes.
The first US sanctions
targeted two military gener-
als perceived to have been
obstructing peace, namely
Mariar Chanuong, the head
of the presidential guards
unit, and rebel Commander
Peter Gatdet.
Ms Page said the sanc-
tions this time round would
include those who impede hu-
manitarian access to displaced
civilians, most of whom are at
risk of starvation according to
the UN.
Not just on the military
battle front but also are they
agreeing to let the barges go?
Are they allowing humanitarian
access as they have agreed to?
Ms Page told a United Nations
radio today.
The peace deal has already
faltered, with the rebels and
the government accusing each
other of violations.
As a result of the escalat-
ing military confrontations,
humanitarian access will
remain limited, according to
the Foreign Aairs Ministry
spokesman Mawien Makol.
Humanitarian assistance
that was supposed to reach
aected people will not any-
more because they have seen
the violation of cessation of
hostilities, the risk of them
(humanitarian workers) going
to these areas is very high, Mr
Makol he said.
It is unfortunate that up to
now we are hearing of sanc-
tions, we have already seen
sanctions on two people and
still they are increasing the
number of people to be sanc-
tioned but as a government,
we are saying we dont need
sanctions now, he said.
What we need is help from
the international community
to ensure that peace and politi-
cal settlement come back to
our country.
The ghting also meant that
the Monitoring and Verica-
tion Mechanism team of the
regional body IGAD which is
mediating the talks - will not
be dispatched.

MONROVIA, Wednesday
As part of her reform agenda,
Liberian President Ellen Johnson
Sirleaf has signed into a law the
Code of Conduct, which seeks to
rene the conduct of members of
the three branches of government
the Legislature, Executive and
Judiciary.
The code of conduct forbids
sexual harassment at work places,
corruption and misuse of public
oce and bribery and compels all
appointed ocials of government
to declare assets upon taking over
their oces, among others.
The Code of Conduct which had
lingered in the corridors of the Na-
tional Legislature for the past ve
years, recently landed on the desk
of President.
She signed the bill on Monday,
May 12 at her temporary oce at
the foreign ministry with several
dignitaries from the three branches
of government in attendance, ac-
cording to Executive Mansion
ocials.
At the signing ceremony, Presi-
dent Sirleaf called on all Liberian
ocials of government and civil
servants to abide by the law which,
she noted, would serve as a guide
against unwarranted behaviours,
including corrupt activities.

African Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius (centre) leaves the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria
yesterday. A South African judge on Wednesday ordered that Oscar Pistorius undergo psychiatric tests
to establish if he has a general anxiety disorder.
Judge orders mental
checks on Pistorius
MURDER CASE | Athletes mental stability to be tested
PRETORIA, Wednesday
T
he judge in the trial of South Af-
rican Paralympic athlete Oscar
Pistorius has ordered that he
should undergo a month-long mental
evaluation.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said that,
according to South African law, if
the accused has a mental illness
or defect that might not make him
criminally responsible then a referral
is in order.
She said the trigger for the ap-
plication was defence witness and
forensic psychiatrist Merryll Vorster,
who this week said the runner suers
from a general anxiety disorder.
Judge Masipa said Ms Vorsters
evidence clearly raises the issue of
criminal responsibility.
The accused may not have raised
the issue that he was not criminally
responsible at the time of the incident
in so many words, said Judge Masipa,
but evidence led on his behalf clearly
raises the issue and cannot be ignored,
not only that but the allegations have
been properly substantiated by the
evidence of Dr Vorster.
Judge Masipa said the court is ill-
equipped to deal with Ms Vorsters
evidence at this stage in the murder
trial. She pointed out that Ms Vorster
only conducted two interviews at an
unspecied length with Pistorius.
Ms Masipa said she would grant a
full order to have Pistorius sent for
medical observation Tuesday next
week, May 20.
Pistoriuss defence lawyer Barry
Roux said he will apply for the run-
ner to be evaluated in outpatient
care, so he does not have to stay in
hospital for 24-hour evaluation.
We will make recommendations
to the court in our draft, said Mr
Roux.
Pistoriuss paternal uncle read a
statement outside the courthouse
saying he was comforted by Judge
Masipas dedication to a fair trial.
As a family, we are comforted
by the thoroughness and detail of
this judgement and Judge Masipas
commitment, using every avenue,
to ensure a fair trial, said Arnold
Pistorius.
Correspondents say the trial, which
began in March, will almost certainly
now face a lengthy delay.
The prosecution argued on Tuesday
that psychiatric tests were essential
and that he should be referred.
But the defence vigorously opposed
the move.
Mr Pistorius denies intentionally
killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp
on Valentines Day last year.
He says he accidentally shot her
through the toilet door in a state
of panic, mistaking the 29-year-
old model and law graduate for an
intruder.
The BBCs Andrew Harding in court
says that Judge Masipas decision
caught almost everyone by surprise.
Mr Pistoriuss uncle, Arnold, wel-
comed the judges thorough ruling
and said it gave the family con-
dence in the justice system.
Judge Masipa said that the crimi-
nal code stipulates that if an accused
person is alleged not to be criminally
responsible or is alleged to be mentally
ill, he should be evaluated.
She said that such an evaluation
would ensure that Mr Pistorius would
get a fair trial, adding it would be
preferable for him to undergo the
evaluation as an outpatient.
Prosecution lawyer Gerrie Nel
made the referral application on
Tuesday after forensic psychiatrist
Merryll Vorster said earlier that the
double amputee was suering from
generalised anxiety disorder (Gad).

KIGALI, Wednesday
A former pentecostal pastor
pleaded not guilty to genocide
in Rwanda today, as his trial
opened in Kigali following
his transfer home from a
UN-backed court.
I did not commit the crimes
mentioned by the prosecution,
Im a victim of genocide, Jean-
Bosco Uwinkindi told the High
Court, without elaborating.
Mr Uwinkindi was pastor
of the pentecostal church
outside the capital during
the genocide, and is accused
of leading a group of Hutu
extremists on a hunt to murder
Tutsi civilians.
Prosecutor Jean Bosco
Mutangana said Uwinkindi
was charged with genocide
and extermination as a crime
against humanity during the
100-day massacre that began
in April 1994 and left 800,000
dead.
After he was arrested in
Uganda in 2010, he was rst
sent to the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
(ICTR) in Tanzania, before
being handed back to face
justice in Rwanda in April
2012.
The UN-backed court in
Arusha was set up to try the
main perpetrators of the 1994
genocide but is now winding
down its operations.
While the masterminds have
been tried at the ICTR, other
perpetrators have been tried
either in the Rwandan court
system or before the grass
roots tribunals. (AFP)

We have had
very little
news and
when it does
come its
very bad
Arum Unzar,
a colleague
of the missing
miners
SOMA, Turkey, Wednesday
R
escuers battled today to
reach hundreds of work-
ers feared trapped after an
explosion at a mine in western
Turkey that has killed at least
205 people in one of the worst
industrial disasters ever to hit
the country.
As Turkey declared three
days of national mourning for
the victims, Energy Minister
Taner Yildiz said the toll could
rise to exceed the 263 workers
killed in the countrys worst ever
mining disaster.
We are worried that human
loss could increase, he told
reporters.
The problem is more serious
than we thought. It is developing
into an accident with the high-
est worker death toll Turkey has
seen so far.
Mr Yildiz said 205 miners had
been conrmed dead after Tues-
days blast at the mine at Soma,
in Manisa province.
He declined to say how many
people remained trapped in
the mine, although earlier re-
ports said 787 workers were
underground when the blast
occurred.
Turkeys disaster management
agency AFAD said 93 people
had been rescued, 85 of them
injured.
Explosions and cave-ins are
common in Turkey, particularly
in private mines where safety
regulations are often outed.
Turkeys worst mining ac-
cident happened in 1992 when
263 workers were killed in a gas
explosion in a mine in Zongul-
dak.
Tuesdays explosion was be-
lieved to have been triggered by
a faulty electrical transformer at
around 1230 GMT Tuesday.
A security source told AFP
that there were pockets in the
mine, one of which was open
so rescuers were able to reach
the workers, but the second was
blocked with workers trapped
inside.
Hundreds of people gathered
around the explosion site as
rescuers brought out injured
workers, who were coughing
and struggling to breathe due
to the dust.
Sena Isbiler, mother of one
of the miners, stood on top of
piles of wood, craning her neck
to see who was being led out of
the mine. I have been waiting
for my son since early afternoon,
she told AFP. I havent heard
anything about him yet.
Arum Unzar, a colleague of the
missing miners said he had lost
a friend previously but this is
enormous. All the victims
are our friends, he said as he
wept.
We are a family and today that
family is devastated. We have had
very little news and when it does
come its very bad, he added.
Fire ocials were trying to
pump clean air into the mine shaft
for those who remained trapped
some two kilometres below the
surface and four kilometres from
the entrance.(AFP)

Eight dead, hundreds
ill from tainted water
Health ocials are testing for
cholera and other diseases after
eight people died and hundreds
more fell ill in a remote area in
the Philippines, possibly from
contaminated water, authorities
said Wednesday. Most of the
victims are children from the
southern town of Alamada who
suered from diarrhoea, Lyndon
Lee Suy, head of the government
agencys infectious disease unit,
told AFP. It looks like it came
from their water. Their water
comes from a stream, he said,
trying to determine if the deaths
were caused by cholera or other
diseases should be available by
the weekend. Lee Suy said eight
residents of the farming town had
died and 496 others fell ill. (AFP)

Indias Hindu
nationalists in
post-poll talks
POWER | Narendra Modi set to be PM
NEW DELHI, Wednesday
L
eaders of Indias Hindu
nationalist opposition
huddled in meetings
toay to discuss strategy after
exit polls forecast a sweeping
victory for the party when re-
sults of the marathon election
are announced in two days.
Bharatiya Janata Party
leader Narendra Modi, who
campaigned on a pledge of
development, investment and
jobs, is expected to become
Indias 14th prime minister
at the head of a BJP-led coali-
tion after the ocial results
on Friday.
Senior party gures Rajnath
Singh, Nitin Gadkari and
Sushma Swaraj, who are all
expected to hold major cabinet
positions, met in New Delhi.
Weve got lots to discuss,
said Singh, referring to post-
poll scenarios and strategies.
Mr Singh, currently the BJP
president, was mum on who
would get which senior jobs.
But media reports suggested
Mr Swaraj, currently the BJP
leader in the parliamentary
lower house, might get the
external aairs portfolio while
veteran BJP leader Arun Jaitley
would become nance minister.
Singh might end up with the
home ministry, the reports
added.
Singh was more forthcoming
on the outcome of the election,
insisting that the BJP-led Na-
tional Democratic Alliance is
getting a clear majority.
One thing is sure is that
Narendra Modi is becoming
the next prime minister of
India, Mr Singh told reporters
after arriving in Ahmedabad,
the main commercial city of
the western state of Gujarat,
for another set of planning
meetings with Modi and other
BJP leaders. Mr Modi, son of
a tea-stall owner who rose
steadily through party ranks,
has been chief minister of
the thriving state for the past
dozen years.
The BJP is forecast to win
the most seats in the 543-seat
parliament but Indias exit
polls have been proved wrong
in the past.
Gandhi view
Rahul Gandhi, who headed
a lacklustre campaign for Con-
gress which has held power
for a decade, has denied that
his party is staring at almost
certain defeat despite voter
unhappiness at a sharply slow-
ing economy and widespread
corruption.
Gandhi, scion of the pow-
erful Nehru-Gandhi dynasty
which has produced three
prime ministers, was derided
throughout the campaign by
Modi as a reluctant sheh-
zada (prince). Regional parties
hinted they might join Modis
coalition after the nal results
are declared. (AFP)

ICC reopens probe of alleged British Iraq war crimes
THE HAGUE, Wednesday
The International Criminal
Courts chief prosecutor said
yesterday she has reopened an
initial probe into allegations
of war crimes committed by
British soldiers after the US-
led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Ms Fatou Bensouda said
in a statement from the
ICC, based in The Hague,
that the initial investigation
was reopened after new al-
legations of prisoner abuse
were submitted.
The new information...
alleges the responsibility of
ocials of the United King-
dom for war crimes involving
systematic detainee abuse in
Iraq from 2003 to 2008, Ms
Bensouda said.
Bensoudas oce in early
January received documents
from the Berlin-based Euro-
pean Centre for Constitutional
and Human Rights together
with the Birmingham-based
Public Interest Lawyers (PIL)
alleging British involvement
in torture, based on interviews
with more than 400 Iraqi de-
tainees.
The world war crimes
courts previous chief prose-
cutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo in
2006 said he would not open
a full probe in Iraq because
he did not have enough evi-
dence.
Britains Attorney General
Dominic Grieve rejected the
allegation that British troops
had carried out systematic
abuse in Iraq. Where allega-
tions have been made, they
are being comprehensively
investigated, he said.

ENERGY | Reduced water levels at the major dams leaves machines operating under capacity
Consumers to pay more for power
following failure of the long rains
BY ZEDDY SAMBU
zsambu@ke.nationmedia.com
C
onsumers should brace
themselves for expen-
sive electricity after
policy makers opted to step up
the proportion of diesel-driven
generators against the cheaper
hydropower.
This, they said, was due to
reduced water levels in dams
owing to failed rains in the
countrys major reservoirs at
the Tana Delta.
Yesterday, water levels at the
Masinga Dam stood at 1,047.6
metres, with recent slight rains
doing nothing to build up the
reserves towards their spilling
points of 1,056.5 metres.
Minimum level
Statistics provided by Kenya
Power show that the countrys
major dams which account for
nearly half of Kenyas generating
capacity were currently at their
minimum level impacting nega-
tively on the amount of power
supplied.
At 38.1 per cent, generators
are currently the largest con-
tributors to the national power
generation mix, overtaking the
cheaper water sources which are
at 33.4 per cent.
Data provided by the power
distributor indicate that 23.8 per
cent of the electricity is gener-
ated from geothermal sources
while imports from Uganda and
other sources are contributing
less than ve per cent of the
total supply.
Drop in rains
We have recorded a 30 per
cent drop in rains and will re
more diesels going forward,
said Energy Cabinet Secretary
Davis Chirchir. We are faced
with unavailability of power
because of over reliance on
the drought-prone hydros, he
added in a telephone interview
yesterday. Normally the long
rains between April and May
are enough to ll up the dams
and serve the country through-
out the lean times until October
when the short rains are due.
The dam levels are not good.
We will be forced to use more
thermals to complement failed
rains and the reducing hydros,
said KenGen managing director
Albert Mugo on telephone.
The end of March until
May is normally very wet after
which there will be no rains and
little inows to the dams. We
are reviewing the situation in
collaboration with the meteoro-
logical department to take care
of the needs until the next rains
in October, said Mr Mugo.
Thermals which are pow-
ered by diesel and fuel oil are
expensive because of the fuel
cost adjustment - a variable
item which is passed on to
consumers to meet payments
for the amount of diesel used
to generate electricity.
Last month, this cost stood
at Sh5.91 per unit with an im-
provement pegged on the onset
of short rains to oer reprieve
to power users.
The meteorological depart-
ment in its current outlook
has said there will be a slight
reduction of rainfall expected
over several parts of the coun-
try, meaning the current levels
are projected to fall further in
the coming weeks.
This is coupled with delays
in commissioning part of the
280MW Olkaria plant that was
set to displace the expensive
diesel engines while easing pil-
ing power-induced inationary
pressures on the economy.
Foreign exchange charges
another variable item dropped
by more than half to ve cents
from 13 cents per kilowatt
hour.
The shilling has held steady at
Sh86 to the dollar diluting the
its impact on the operating costs
of the power company. The bulk
of these payments are based on
the US dollar and the yen.
Move to raise use of
diesel in generating
electricity means the
extra charges will be
passed on to users
38.1
The percentage mix
that thermal sources are
providing to the national
electricity production
according to Kenya Power
data.
Diesel has displaced hydro
as the base load source of
electricity. Other altrena-
tives like geothermal and
wind are facing delays.
This will see power users
pay more for electricity
based on a variable item

charge which is a pass
through cost. Kenyan
manufacturers say upto 40
per cent of their production
costs are taken by power.

A conference to discuss the
involvement of local people in up-
stream oil and gas industry in the
Eastern Africa region is set to take
place in Nairobi next month.
The event is organised by Oil
and Energy Services, a local con-
sultancy rm.
It is expected to host about 400
local, regional and international in-
dustry participants to discuss ways
of developing the competitiveness
of indigenous businesses and work-
force in the sector.
It is a very exciting time for the
local industry and we are looking
forward to the exchange of new
and fresh ideas that will enable the
country to harness the many oppor-
tunities that abound. Ultimately, the
real benets of an upstream oil and
gas sector are realised through the
creation of business opportunities
and jobs for citizens of the region
through accelerated transfer of
skills and technologies, said Oil
and Energy Services chief executive
Mwendia Nyaga.
The meeting comes at a time
when the region has emerged as
an oil and gas hub going by com-
mercially viable oil discoveries that
have been made.

Blue Shields statutory

C
reditors and policy holders
of Blue Shield Insurance
will have to wait longer to
get their money after the court
prolonged the statutory management
period to July 4, 2014.
This is another extension for
a company that went under on
September 17, 2011 after failing to
settle claims and other nancial
obligations.
A report on its revival handed to
the regulator Insurance Regulatory
Authority in March, said owners
should raise Sh620 million to
resume operations though this is
yet to happen.
The authority is in discussion
with the stakeholders regarding
(recommendations) in the report,
said IRA chief executive Sammy
Makove. He, however, did not go
into details on when the talks are
expected to be concluded.
The notice for extension of the
moratorium means no payments
can be done until then.
Now take further notice that in
exercise of powers conferred by
section 67C (10) of the Insurance
Act, the statutory manager extends
moratorium on the payments by the
said insurer to its policy holders and
all other creditors, declared on March
28 to July 4 in conformity with the
statutory management period, said
a statement by statutory manager
Eliud Muriithi dated May 9.
According to the report, the
company will need to overcome the
challenge of changing its ownership
structure as well as pension issues
of former workers before resuming
business. The workers pension
scheme is owed Sh222 million. The
rm had 230 sta employed directly
and another 1,000 indirectly.
The report on the nancial status
of the company up to 31 December,
indicated that it had a shortfall
of Sh23 million in liquid capital
and Sh597 million in solvency
thresholds.
The company, which was
underwriting motor vehicle risks,
has outstanding claims amounting
to Sh2.2 billion. Other creditors are
owed Sh200 million in addition to
Sh100 million in unpaid taxes.

usiness management soft-
ware provider Kopo Kopo
has launched a merchant
cash advance service that targets
the countrys growing small and
medium enterprises.
Dubbed Grow, the service is
designed to advance credit to
users of the electronic payment
platform on the basis of a busi-
ness cash ow.
The more deals a company
accepts through the platform,
the bigger the credit facility
it qualies for at a lower rate.
Clients are charged a fee which
is a percentage of what they
borrow.
We see this service as an
opportunity to help businesses
access capital while simulta-
neously encouraging them to
start moving away from cash
payments, said Kopo Kopo
boss Francis Mugane.
He said SMEs are locked out
of conventional credit lines due
to inadequate collateral and high
interest rates leaving the sector
unexploited.
The arrangement is a part-
nership with consumer nance
provider (AFB) which shall
be underwriting the cash ad-
vances while Kopo Kopo shall
be responsible for sourcing and
automating collections.
Since inception in 2012, Kopo
Kopo has enlisted 10,000 SMEs
on its platform, which enables
businesses to accept, process
and manage mobile money
payments eliminating the need
for cash transactions.
Mr Mugane said the firms
next step is to seek association
with credit reference bureaus in
the country to submit its clients
borrowing records.
Our systems generate all
our clients records includ-
ing turnover and repayments
therefore it is an issue of just
making arrangements with
CRBs, he said.

AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
The stars suggest that you are thinking seriously
about becoming deeply committed to one of
your relationships. You need this day for thought
because if you rush o half-cocked as you
sometimes do, it tends to lead to an accident-
prone emotional life, as am sure you know by
now.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
It wont pay to begin anything fresh today
instead do the opposite: sort out the nishing
touches to all those little jobs, relationships and
everything else that you have left undone. If
you have an Aquarian in your life, they may be
making some extra demands.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
It is a good time for those of you who work in
the service industries or those who have fallen
behind in their workload, because you are going
to have plenty of energy and the will power to
catch up and surpass yourself. Its a good day
also for making arrangements to have your teeth
or your body check out by a doctor,
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
With luck you should be surrounded by a certain
amount of harmony. Aquaintances will be doing
everything in their power to help you out in any
way they can so if you want advice or assistance
in any way, shape or form, dont be slow to come
forward.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
It is a time to focus your mind on your ambitions.
Mentally you have been exploring options that
can now come to frustration. Any struggles in
your life can be solved by simply sorting out your
priorities.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
This is a time when you may be taking on new
interests, studies, or hobbies which are likely to
be of an intellectual nature. Aairs connected
with younger people can be tackled satisfactory;
you will know what needs to be done and at
what time.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
You are about to throw o recent introspection
and throw yourself whole heartedly into the
swim of things. You will be taking on the role
of a leader at this time. Because of this, social
activity is likely to be instigated by your good
self.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
Those closer to you both at work and at home
and in your friendship circle are certainly lively
and full of good ideas so why dont you give
them a listen? You might be quite glad that you
did. If you have a Gemini or a Pisces in your life
these could be the ideal people to go to for
advice.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
You will be putting your heart and soul into
work and its a good time for sorting out the
complicated nancial side of your life and facing
up to some basic home truths mainly that you
dont have an unlimited supply money not .unless
you mare making it yourself.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
Today the stars pile pressure on your already
over-loaded workload. There might not be
enough space for a well-earned rest, but
a change of scene could give you a fresh
perspective on a current problem. Your path to
happiness lies in being true to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Youd be well advised not to take the promises
or commitments of other people too seriously
because their judgment is totally o and their
enthusiasm is running riot. No doubt their
company will be enjoyable.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
There may be a certain anxiety in you as to
whether someone close to you is really putting
their weight or whether it is you who is carrying
around the lions share of the problems and
decision making today.

C
aroline Cherotich was on top of her
game yesterday as she broke the
23-year-old national womens high
jump record at the Kenya Defence Forces
Athletics Championships at Kasarani.
The 26-year-old from Kahawa Barracks
scaled 1.75m to erase Lena Serems 1.71m
set in 1991 during a similar meet.
Pricilla Nasimiyu from Isiolo scaled
1.60m to don silver with Nairobis Cherot-
ich Koech going for bronze with 1.56m.
You only feel happy with what you are
doing especially when the body is respond-
ing well, said Cherotich, who also holds
the pole vault national record of 3.20m
set in 2012.
Cherotich said her dream now is to
represent Kenya at the Commonwealth
Games due on July 23 to August 3 in Glas-
gow and Africa Championships slated for
August 10-14 in Marrakech, Morocco.
Lack of exposure
I will be glad if I qualify for whichever
event, said Cherotich, who decried lack of
exposure and facilities for the eld events.
We cannot improve without modern
equipment especially in pole vault.
Four-time Africa champion Grace Wan-
jiru of Moi Air Base won the womens walk
as David Kimutai won the mens event.
The 34-year-old Wanjiru, who holds the
Africa and Championship record time of
1:34.19 from the 2010 Nairobi Africa Cham-
pionships, won the womens 20km event in
1:49.50, ahead of Emily Ngii (Nanyuki) in
1:52.10. Susan Chepngetich (Kahawa) took
bronze in 1:58.25.
I want to concentrate on my defence of
the Africa title since the race walk is not in
the Commonwealth Games programme,
said Wanjiru, who won bronze on her debut
at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games.
Kimutai (Nanyuki), the 1999 All Africa
Games and 2006 Africa Champion, re-
tained the mens 23.6km race walk title
in 2:02.19, beating Nicodemus Musau
(Nanyuki) 2:05.09 and Simon Misango
(Lanet) 2:13.17.
Im yet to unlock my body but I want to
be in good shape for the Africa event, said
Kimutai, the 2010 and 2012 Africa Cham-
pionships silver winner.
Organisers treated me unfairly in 2012
when they denied me victory.
I want to prove them wrong, said
Kimutai, the bronze winner at the 2002
Commonwealth Games.
Fresh from setting Africa record with
victory in 3,000m at the Doha Diamond
League last Friday, Hellen Obiri continued
to shine posting the fastest time of 2:06.8
in womens 800m semi-nals.
Obiri (LAB), who claimed silver in 3,000m
at the World Indoor Championships in
March, edged out Charity Wambua (Ka-
hawa) to second place in 2:08.1.

doubt. Or will we see an ocial
withdraw from a dispute involving
his or her federation so that the rest
can make the decision for the sake
of fairness? But even with this, the
tribunal will still not be objective as it
may turn out to be a case of scratch-
my-back, I-scratch-your-back.
Half the tribunal ocials are sen-
ior members of sports bodies. How
does Wario expect them to be fair
while defending their federations.
Raising many questions
I have no problem with the three
lawyers including John Morris Ohaga
(chairman), Njeri onyango and Gi-
churu Kiplagat as well as Nyokabi
Kimani from the ministry of sports.
However, the inclusion of Robert
Asembo (FKF), Sifuna Shiveka
(Kenya Hockey Union) and GMT
Otieno (Kenya Referees Association)
raises a lot of questions, regarding
their judgement when their organi-
sations are involved in a disputes.
We dont know which federation
will plunge into wrangles next. It
could be either of the three, yet their
ocials are part of the arbitration
team!
Did we really have to restrict our-
selves to ocials currently serving in
sports associations? Some of these
ocials have unsuccessfully sought
positions in other organizations such
as the National Olympics Committee
of Kenya. Chances of them using the
tribunal for revenge are real.
I have nothing against the ap-
pointed ocials but when it comes
to matters justice, there must be no
room for doubts about decisions
made. The earlier we correct this
mistake the better for all.

Basketball icon Magic Johnson said
Tuesday that disgraced Los Angeles

ing in the stone ages and deserves to
lose his coveted NBA franchise.
Johnson (left), who won ve NBA
titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, said
he believed Sterlings attack on him
in a prior interview was the result of
desperation in the face of the racism
row that has engulfed him.
I just wish he knew the facts when
he was talking, Johnson said. But he is
a man who is upset and he is reaching.
He is trying to nd something he can
grab onto to help him save his team,
and it is not going to happen. It is not
going to happen, Johnson said.
The problem is, hes living in the
stone ages. He cant make those com-
ments about African Americans or
Latinos, he just cant do it, he said.
Sterling spoke in an interview on
Monday, trying to quell the controversy
that erupted on April 26 when his com-
ments to a girlfriend advising her not
to associate with black people in public
provoked nationwide outrage.
Sterling only fueled the re when he
attacked Johnson, saying the Hall of
Famer was a poor role model. (AFP)

H
e has not only been an outstand-
ing talent, but a loyal servant of
Gor Mahia who has diligently
served the club for the last six years.
Whenever he is elded, he plays his
heart out prowling the right back area
like a tiger uncaged. His discipline, focus
and sheer hard work won him favour
during former Gor Mahia coach Zdravko
Logarusics reign when he became an
almost permanent xture in the right
full back position.
That is the tale of the 28-year-old
Solomon Nasio, who, before breaking
his nose last season during a league
match against Karuturi Sports, was one
of KOgalos defensive mainstay.
But ever since hebroke his nose,
the player has been quickly forgotten
by the club he has laboured for with
diligence.
Unable to raise the Sh150, 000 needed
for a corrective surgery on his nose, the
former Dandora All Stars player has in
recent days been forced to stay at home
unable to train.
His last appearance for Gor was on
March 30 in their match against Bandari
in Mombasa. During that match, Nasio
fought gallantly before being withdrawn
shortly after the interval with a bleeding
nose. All his eorts to seek help from
the club management have been futile
with the ocials reportedly taking him
round in circles.
Thankfully, now there is a glimmer of
hope for the long-suering Nasio after
the Daily Nation Sport broke his story
yesterday.
Enraged fans
The story touched o immediate re-
sponse from enraged fans who took
to social media to lambast the club for
its apathy. Eorts to address Nasios
case went viral on Facebook and Twitter
with fans going the extra mile of pool-
ing their resources together towards the
players treatment via a Safaricom line
0708304895. By the time of going to
Press yesterday, contribution for Nasios
course had surpassed Sh55,000.
Bethwuel Oduo, a former Nation
Media Group employee, was among the
rst fans to step forward and pledge to
help the player. I have followed Gor
Mahia since 1973 and this is indeed
a very sad story. Its unfortunate that
when a player gets injured the club is
never willing to take responsibility, he
said. On Facebook, Alex Ngare wrote:
Shame on the Gor Mahia oce, while
Dush Wasike said: Our dierences

Harambee Stars coach Adel
Amrouche (left) has voiced his
disappointment on the missed op-
portunity of having Divock Origi
play for Kenya.
Origi, 19, son to former Kenya in-
ternational striker Mike Okoth, was
on Tuesday included in Belgium
coach Marc Wilmots 24-man World
Cup squad thus quashing the faint-
est hopes that Amrouche haboured of
having the youngster in his squad.
Amrouche has in the past made
overtures to the French league side
Lille forward in an eort to woo him
to accept a call up to the Kenyan na-
tional team without success.
Its a choice he has made and we
have to respect it. I would have liked
to have him in my squad but he has
made up his mind, Amrouche said.
Amrouche, who revealed that he
recently met Wilmots in Germany,
said he is not sure whether his public
overtures to Origi is what informed
the Belgian coachs decision to call up
the player for the World Cup.
I was with Wilmots in Germany but
I dont know whether I pushed him to
take Origi. I told him that if he didnt
take him to the World Cup I would
have him play for Kenya, said the
Belgian who guided Harambee Stars
to their rst Cecafa Senior Challenge
Cup title on home soil last December
after an 11-year wait.
Regarding Sundays Africa Cup of
Nations preliminary rst leg match
against Comoros, Amrouche dis-
missed the perception that the tie will
be a walk in the park for his team.
Those who are saying that Co-
moros is a small team dont know
football. I have watched them play
several times on YouTube and I
believe we must prepare well for the
match, he said.

Its all systems go for the third
round of the 2014 KCB Kenya
National Rally Championship fol-
lowing the approval of the route
by the Rallies Commission of the
Kenya Motor Sports Federation.
Details for the Eldama Ravine
rally, which will be staged on May
24, were released to the media
and rally drivers during a function
hosted by KCB in Nairobi yesterday.
The new guidelines from the Motor
Sports Governing Body, have made
it mandatory for every club to seek
the approval of certain team of o-
cials before the stages are accepted
in the nal itinerary of every event
for safety reasons.
KCB Director of Marketing and
Communication, Angela Mwirigi,
who was among the chief guests at
the function, said the bank recog-
nizes the strong heritage that the
sport has in the country.
The sport is fullling the prom-
ise of building trust with nancial
solutions and needs. Since 2003
KCB has pumped more than Sh440
million in the sport, which is also
seen as value to both sponsors and
the sport, said Mwirigi.
Raju Chagger, who has done
route-opening duties for the 10-day
East African Safari Classic Rally in
the past and who is also a member
of the Safety Council, was among
the officials who accompanied
Clerk of the Course Frank Tundo
while on scrutinizing the route for
the race.
The stages are very technical
and should be a navigators ordeal.
They are fast with rough patches
but generally good quality stages.
The Fluorspar stage should be
spectacular for both the drivers and
fans, said Chagger. The route is di-
vided into eight competitive stages
of which three will be repeated. The
longest stage is 32.8km while the
shortest is 12.3km.
Among other factors, the team
identified special junctions for
Marshals and Police to monitor,
helicopter landing spots and suit-
able locations for the start and
nish time controls respectively,
according to Chagger.
Safety marshal deployed
In an eort to make the make
the event safer, Tundo has en-
gaged the services of local Boda
Boda operators as safety marshal
to be deployed at all feeder roads
and at certain spectator points
to discourage any movements of
vehicles and fans while rally cars
are in action. The event will start
from Eldama Ravine before action
moves to two of the most famous
stages of the rally - Kerio Valley
and Fluorspar Hills - which were
synonymous with past Safari Ral-
lies for their scenic features.
The two stages, in addition to
the 2km spectator stage, will be
repeated to make sure the event is
entertaining for everyone. Scruti-
neering of rally cars will be done in
Nakuru on Friday (23 May), while
recce will also be done on the same
day but from Eldama Ravine.

Liverpool
L
uis Suarez, one of the explo-
sive talents and characters in
football, is unrepentant about
his World Cup infamy, but would
love to make a more positive impact
in Brazil.
His season at Liverpool has
marked a stunning comeback in his
campaign.
The 2010 World Cup quarter-nal
between Uruguay and Ghana was
level 1-1 as the match entered the nal
minute of extra-time and the Africans
would have taken the lead had Suarez
not used his hand to keep out Dominic
Adiyahs header.
Suarez was sent o but Asamoah
Gyan failed to convert the resulting
penalty and, with the match ending 1-1,
Uruguay claimed victory in a shootout.
Suarezs joyous celebrations angered
many neutrals who felt justice had
not been done.
Remarkably the Liverpool stars
reputation plunged lower in the next
three years.
In December 2011, Suarez was
banned for eight matches and ned
$67,000 (about Sh5.9 million) for
racially abusing Manchester Unit-
eds Patrice Evra during a match at
Aneld.
Suarez maintained that the word
he used negro (black in Spanish)
did not have racist connotations
in his country, but the damage to his
reputation was done.
Handed suspension
Then last April he was handed
a 10-match suspension for biting
Chelseas Branislav Ivanovic dur-
ing another top-ight clash.
The barrage of criticism that
greeted both incidents would
have been enough to shatter
the spirit of many players
and it would have been no
surprise to see Suarez quit
England at the end of last
season.
But the man nicknamed
El Pistolero or the gun-
slinger in Uruguay is made
of sterner stu.
Suarez was brought back
into the fold by Reds boss
Brendan Rodgers following
the conclusion of the ban for the
Ivanovic clash and he returned with a
sustained burst of brilliance that saw
him score 31 Premier League goals
and claim the players Footballer of
the Year title.
The 27-year-old was at his brilliant
best again during Liverpools 6-3 vic-
tory over Cardi in March, netting his
third hat-trick of the season.
Suarez has rehabilitated his reputa-
tion in the eyes of many in England
thanks to that scintillating run of form,
which took Liverpool to the verge of
claiming the Premier League title.
Now all he has to do is carry that
form onto the games grandest stage in
Brazil and maybe the rest of the world
will forgive him for his own hand of
god moment.
I stick with the feeling of having
helped my team, he said of the inci-
dent recently.
I stopped a goal, and I believe that
it is worse when you stop a goal and
injure an opponent, seriously injure
them, and get sent o for that.
Stopping a goal with my hand I
believe did nothing evil to anyone, it
was just stopping a goal.
While Suarez is deant about
his actions that night in Johan-
nesburg, the Uruguayan cannot
hide his desire to make World
Cup headlines for the right
reasons this time. Arsenals
England winger Theo Walcott
and Monacos Colombian
striker Radamel Falcao have
seen their dreams of shining
in Brazil shattered by long-
term knee injuries and Suarez
recently admitted he often worries
about suering the same fate.
The truth is that I am scared of
what happened to Falcao and Wal-
cott. But you live in the present
and you always give your
best for the club - you
cant be thinking
about that all the
time, Suarez
said.
It is a
unique op-
portunity
and we all
want to be
there.

Playing for

Football administrators, coaches
and supporters in Kenya yesterday
gave mixed reactions on Divock
Origi Okoths (above) decision
to play for Belgium intead of
Kenya.
And the player himself sepa-
rately expressed his delight at
what he termed as an opportu-
nity to represent my country at
the World Cup.
It is a dream that has come true
for me and I am really happy. I can-
not say that I expected it although
I was aware that I was being fol-
lowed and there was a possibility
of me being selected. I am sure I
will learn a lot in Brazil then I will
come and give back to my country,
Divock, 19, told his French club
Lille ocial website.
Divock - son of former Kenya in-
ternational Mike Origi Okoth - was
named in Belgiums 24-man World
Cup squad on Tuesday, eectively
ending the teenagers chances of
playing for his parents country of
birth, Kenya.
We really wanted Divock here
because he possesses exceptional
talent, but we respect his deci-
sion and wish him well just like
we wished Obama well, Robert
Asembo, a national football ad-
ministrator said.
Former Harambee Stars coach
Jacob Ghost Mulee described Ori-
gis decision as a lost opportunity
for Kenya.
One mans loss is another mans
gain. Harambee Stars coach Adel
Amrouche went over to Belgium
and held talks with his father but
ultimately the decision rested
upon the lad. We wish him well,
Mulee said.
Harambee Stars first choice
goalkeeper Arnold Origi - who
is Divocks rst cousin - took to
social media to describe the news
as fantastic.
Fantastic day, fantastic news.

A
fter AC Milans worst season in
decades, Italians will be hoping
Mario Balotelli can end his goal
drought at the World Cup nals.
But no one can be sure how the
temperamental striker will perform
or react to being in Brazil.
Italy has a tough Group D at the
nals, against England, Uruguay and
Costa Rica. Coaches, players and fans
wonder which side of Balotellis char-
acter will be on display.
Will it be the Balotelli left in tears
on the bench after being substituted
during a 3-1 defeat to Napoli in Febru-
ary? Or will it be the Balotelli who, a
week later, hit a 35-metre thunderbolt
to secure a 1-0 win over Bologna?
The incidents illustrate the inner
turmoil and genius of a footballer
who, according to previous handlers
like former Manchester City coach
Roberto Mancini, could be a football-
ing great.
The incidents also oer clues to the
inner workings of a player known for a
rebellious streak which, if controlled,
can have devastating eects for the
opposition - and devastating eects
for his own team if left unfettered.
Balotelli rmly established himself
as Italys rst-choice striker after scor-
ing four goals, including a brace in
the semi-nal against Germany, at the
2012 European Championships.
He went on to score seven times
in World Cup qualifying as Italy
nished top of Group B with two
games to spare. But his eye for goal
is tempered by inconsistency and a
lack of discipline.
Balotelli has improved this sea-
son, provoking nine yellow cards
in 25 games compared to seven in
13 encounters last season. But his
quick temper and inability to turn
the other cheek could prove costly
to Italy in Brazil.
Still only 23, the man born as Mario
Barwuah to immigrants from Ghana
has come a long way since being per-
manently fostered by the white, Italian
Balotelli family in his formative years.
Only recently Balotelli underwent a
DNA test which conrmed that he was
the father of a one-year-old daughter
Pia by former girlfriend Raaella Fico,
who is based in Napoli.
Days later, Milan travelled to Napoli,
Milan were outgunned and Balotelli
suered the indignity of being sub-
stituted by coach Clarence Seedorf
for a mediocre display. A week later,
Balotellis wonder strike against
Bologna made amends and Balotelli
lashed out at media intrusion into his
private aairs. (AFP)

Italy trust in Prandelli
Italys coach Cesare Prandelli oozes
quiet optimism and is known for
getting the best out of his players
even the hotheads.
And the 56-year-old Prandelli will be
one of the lucky few managers at the
World Cup in Brazil who know they will
have their job after, win or lose.
A former Juventus midelder who
played 197 games in Serie A, Prandellis
ve-year spell as Fiorentinas coach
put him on the path to the Italy job.
The sharp-suited Italian win admirers
for turning a poor Italian squad into
one which can at least hold its head
high. He is known for his pragmatism

P
olice ocers are renting to
the public houses allocated to
them in various parts of the
country, investigations have shown.
Some of the beneciaries of the
scam in Nairobi involving millions of
shillings are a lawmaker and at least
three known city businessmen.
The scandal has thrived despite
the shortage of houses that has seen
some ocers being housed in police
canteens.
Yesterday, Suna West Member of
Parliament Joseph Obiero Ndiege
confirmed that he had secured a
house for his family at the Westpark
Police Housing Unit.
Resigned from service
The house, number four, had been
allocated to a senior police ocer who
retired last month.
The senior police, who happens
to be my relative, has resigned from
the service and the house has been
allocated to another ocer. I have
arranged to shift from the house next
week, he said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police
based at the Directorate of Criminal
Investigations headquarters Joseph
Chumo, as the ocer in charge of
security, was also allocated house
number 59, but is said to have rented
it out to some of his friends.
When the matter was being investi-
gated, the ocer conrmed that the
house had been allocated to him, but
he was not staying there.
He said he would occasionally
meet his friends at the house, but
maintained they did not live there.
Just two days after the Nation
launched the investigations, Director
of Planning at the Police headquar-
ters Silas McOpiyo wrote to warn the
commanders about the scam.
It has come to the attention of
this headquarters that some leased
residential properties under your
jurisdiction are being occupied by
unauthorised persons, the warning
read. Though Mr McOpiyo in the let-
ter claimed his oce only facilitated
the acquisition and leasing of the
houses, investigations showed that
ocers from his Vigilance House of-
ce were also involved in the scam.
A corporal based at Vigilance has
rented out three houses in East-
lands.
Another Inspector of Police at the
Kenya Police Airwing also rented out
the house allocated to him to a con-
struction rm worker.
Commenting on the issue, police
spokesperson Zipporah Mboroki said
the houses were strictly meant for
police ocers and those involved in
the scam would be dealt with.
Access to such houses should
strictly be regulated. Those people
have not been vetted and may pose
a serious security threat to the of-
cers, she said.

Is your roof slowly
poisoning you?
If it is made of asbestos tiles, probably yes; which is why the

H
ow safe is the roof over your head?
Are you slowly poisoning yourself
every time you touch anything that
has come into contact with it or
every time you drink rainwater harvested
through it?
Those are the concerns that informed a
new Bill that is set for debate at the Kisumu
county assembly and which seeks to compel
home owners to replace their asbestos-tiled
roofs with iron sheets.
As expected, the proposed law has sparked
a raging debate on what some analysts call
harmful products still being used for house
construction. However, it is the tile roong
that is on the radar of MCA Bob Ndolo,
who wants the Kisumu county government
to compel contractors not to use it on any
new building within its jurisdiction.
Ndolo argues that the asbestos contained
in the tiles can cause cancer owing to
overexposure through contaminated water
harvested through the roofs.
We carried out an analysis of the dangers
these tiles pose and their extensive use within
the county. It was shocking to realise that
residents still rely on rain water harvested
through such roofs, says Ndolo.
While most scientists, medics, and
property developers believe that the
asbestos unlike plastic tiles contain
traces of harmful chemicals that can lead
to serious health implications through
continued exposure, Ndolos Bill is the
rst of its kind to seek legislation over the
matter and which hopes to address the use
of potentially hazardous materials in the
property sector.
Kisumu county director of health Ojwang
Lusi says that, other than asbestos tiles,
many common building components are
known to contain compounds that are toxic
and could be harmful to a persons health
over time.
Most of these are known as Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC) and are
common in water pipes and most brass
ttings, he says, adding that VOCs refer
to a group of chemicals that have toxicity
levels that are enough to cause dierent
health problems.
Go the copper way
Most components in these materials are
Polyvinyl chloride (commonly abbreviated
as PVC), lead, mercury, and halogenated
flame retardants. The most common
household items that carry some of these
compounds include carpets and adhesives,
composite wood products, paints, sealing
caulks, solvents, upholstery fabrics, nishes,
and disc oors.
Instead of using PVC water pipes, Dr
Lusi therefore advises that one chooses
the copper option, which he says is even
less expensive.
Of late, the only debate on hazardous
compounds used during construction of
houses has centred on the use of oil-based
paints, which are said to have high levels
of lead residue. As such, leading paint
manufacturers have stopped the use of
lead which gives paint the oily, shiny, and
elastic characteristic favoured by builders
in the production process.
Ben Osewe, the Kisumu county housing
director, says it is time this happened. Oil
paints, he argues, pose a huge risk to human
beings because most home owners love its
shiny appeal, especially on the walls inside
their houses. Studies have shown that the
level of some of these organic compounds,
like the ones found in most oil paints, is
about two to ve times higher indoors than
on the outside, says Osewe.
For him, however, the biggest worry is
that, unlike food products that contain
labelling of all ingredients used for the
customers discretion at the purchase
point there are still no laws in Kenya to
compel the manufactures to fully disclose
the ingredients in the manufacturing of

of the materials they use in construction,
which range from small details like
compact uorescent lights which have
been found to contain levels of mercury
that could pose risks to users to bigger
risks like the asbestos found in roong
tiles.
Some home owners, however, are
opposed to the proposed legislation against
tiles, saying that the cost of replacing the
roofs would not make economic sense.
Peter Opondo, 45, a resident of Arina
Estate, says that even though the health
risks posed by the tiles are high, he is
not willing to incur any cost replacing
his asbestos roof.
His sentiments are echoed by 38-year-

County mulls legislation against asbestos tiling
with a compensation plan, the tiles on
her roof will not go anywhere. We have
worked hard to save money for these
houses... and so someone cannot just
wake up and ask us to replace roofs for
whatever reason, she says.
As a result of this opposition, Osewe,
the Kisumu county housing director, who
oversees a number of tile-roofed former
municipal houses in the town, says that,
for such a proposal to be implemented,
it should be anchored in water-tight
legislation. Compelling a person to
remove part their house, he adds, is a
tricky idea.
Shortness of breath
Dr Ojwang Oweke, a research scientist
with the Kenya Marine and Fisheries
Research Institute (Kemfri), says that
the health risks of asbestos tiles are quite
grave as, chemically, asbestos minerals
are silicate compounds, meaning they
contain atoms of silicon and oxygen in
their molecular structure. As a result, he
cautions, overexposure to such hazards
through contaminated water harvested
from rain could lead to shortness of
breath, coughing, and permanent lung
damage.
Dr Peter Omwenga, the medical
superintended at the Nyakach District
Hospital, says the institution is in the
process of replacing the rooftops, which
are mostly made of tiles. We are working
on ways to ensure that our roofs are safe
for all users within the institution to avoid
any eventualities, says Dr Omwenga.
But Osewe thinks that the risks
associated with the tiles have been blown
out of proportion, arguing that they do
not pose as serious a health risk as
claimed by their detractors. In any case,
he continues, people have been living
with them since time immemorial.
A report by the World Health
Organisation states that when asbestos
fibres are breathed in, they may get
trapped in the lungs and remain there
for a long time, accumulating over time
to cause serious irritation.
In the United Kingdom, for instance,
blue and brown asbestos materials were
banned as long ago as 1985, while the
importation, sale, and reuse of white
asbestos was outlawed in 1999.
In 2012, London introduced the
Control of Asbestos Regulations Act
that requires owners of non-domestic
buildings like factories and ocers to
have a duty to manage asbestos on the
premises by making themselves aware
of its presence and ensuring that the
material does not deteriorate, as well
as removing it if necessary.
In the United States, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in 1989 phased
out asbestos use, while Washington
became the latest state in the US to
ban asbestos in automotive brakes
earlier this year.
Other countries that have banned and
restricted asbestos use are Singapore,
South Korea, Japan, Turkey, Australia,
and New Zealand. In Australia, the
Australian Consortium of Trade Unions
has called on the government to protect
its citizens by ridding the country of
asbestos by 2030. The union argues
that two out of three homes in Australia
built between World War II and the early
1980s still contain asbestos.

Asbestos is blamed for one in every three deaths from
occupational cancer, while more than 107,000 people,
according to the World Health Organisation, die each year
from asbestos-related illnesses.
THE DANGERS
The World Health Organisation
reports that about 125 million
people in the world are exposed
to asbestos at the workplace and
that more than 107,000 people
die each year from asbestos-
related lung cancer, mesothelioma,
and asbestosis resulting from
occupational exposure.
All forms of asbestos are
carcinogenic to humans, says
the WHO, and may cause
mesothelioma and cancer of
the lungs, larynx, and ovaries.
Asbestos exposure is also
responsible for other diseases,
such as asbestosis (brosis of the
lungs), pleural plaques, thickening
and eusions.
One in every three deaths from
occupational cancer is estimated
to be caused by asbestos. In
addition, it is estimated that
several thousand deaths annually
can be attributed to exposure to
asbestos in the home.
With Resolution 60.26, the World
Health Assembly requested WHO
to carry out a global campaign
for the elimination of asbestos-
related diseases bearing in
mind a dierentiated approach
to regulating its various forms
in line with the relevant
international legal instruments and

Real estate developer Erdemann Property
has started handing over to buyers the Seefar
Apartment houses it built at Kibera Highrise
Estate in Nairobi. Construction of the 288-unit
apartments comprising 264 two-bedroom and
24 three-bedroom options started in December
2012.
One of the new home owners, Mr Elvis
Odhiambo Odoyo, said he had waited for the
moment for long and that he was happy to
start plans to move in. Finally, the houses are
ready, he said. Now all I need to do is pack my
belongings and move in.
The picturesque view of Nairobi Dam
inuenced Mr Odoyo to choose his house. I am
very keen on the scenery and that is what I was
looking for when I picked this house because
it gives me a wonderful view of this side of
Nairobi, he said. With the rehabilitation eorts
going on I expect Nairobi Dam area to return
to its former glory of being a major attraction
for recreational activities such as sport, shing,
sailing, picnics, sailing, and sub-aqua.
Erdemann Property managing director John
Yang said his company has built 2,000 houses
in Nairobi, all for low-income earners, using
new technologies and materials made by the
company to keep construction costs low. This,
he said, was guided by his mission to provide
aordable and decent housing to middle- and
low-income earners.
Erdemann is close to completing construction
of a Sh1 billion housing project dubbed Great
Wall Phase Three, which comprises 288 three-
bedroom apartments at Mlolongo area in Nairobi.
Great Wall Phase Two project is ongoing in the
same area, and contains 384 three-bedroom
apartments expected to be ready by this
September.
Mr Yang asked the government to give more
incentives to home buyers so that they are able
to buy houses. There should also be incentives
to home developers such as taxes and provision
of land by the government so that they can build
aordable houses, he said.
We believe that through the public private
partnership initiative, the government should
not only provide the necessary policy support,
but also the necessary infrastructure like access
roads, sewerage, and associated social amenities
to these developments.
We further urge other developers to follow
our example and focus mainly on the middle and
lower sectors, which represent well over 80 per
cent of the overall Kenyan population, Mr Yang
said.

Firm to build 7,000
low-cost homes
The National Housing Corporation (NHC)
will build 7,000 low-cost homes along the
Thika Super Highway and Mombasa Road.
Three thousand of the units will be built
along the Thika Superhighway while 4,000
will be along Mombasa Road.
The one-bedroom apartments,
targeting the lower middle and lower
income earners, will go for an average Sh2
million. At the NHCs at interest rate of 13
per cent, a buyer will pay about Sh25,304
monthly instalments for 15 years.
This is a new market for the corporation,
which has been building in estates such
as Kileleshwa, Nairobi West and Langata,
with homes costing up to Sh13 million for
three-bedroom units.
The lower end of the market has
been severely undersupplied but several
developers, including the Suraya Property
group, have developed units targeting the
class. Other developers like Home Afrika
also have projects lined up for this market
but are yet to start developments.
Baker to venture
into real estate
Mini Bakeries, the makers of Supa Loaf
bread, will soon make venture into the
real estate business with a Sh3.5 billion
residential estate o Kamiti Road in
Kiambu County.
The homes, which will be for sale,
comprise 349 maisonettes consisting of
178 three-bedroom semi-detached houses
and 171 four-bedroom detached houses on
what was formerly a coee plantation.
The company expects to have received
the necessary approvals from the county
government by the end of June for the
ground breaking. This had been planned
for April but was postponed, with the
county yet to release the approvals.
The estate that will be home to about
2,000 has already received the green
light from the National Environment
Management Authority.
The move will see Mini Bakeries join
a host of other companies that have
diversied into real estate to boost income
from their core operations.
Services at Ardhi
House to go online
Most operations at Ardhi House will be
accessible online from next week as the
government moves to rein in corruption in
the lands sector and speed up processes.
The services that will
go online include
land registration,
service payments
and document
searches. The
digitisation
records at Ardhi
House is meant
to do away with
the need for bulky
les.
The reliance on such
les has also been blamed for corruption
in the ministry, with those seeking services
being forced to pay bribes to access them.
Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu
(above) said the ministry will spend about
Sh500million to set up a special centre to
enable citizens to access services online
and reduce human contact.
All key departments in the ministry will
also be electronically linked, reducing the
length of land transactions from 73 to 16
days.
The National Titling Centre in Nairobi
will, for example, provide a one-stop shop
for those seeking services in the ministry.

T
he paradox that many home owners
have to live with is that while dcor
trends seem to keep changing around
them, for most of them, the dcor
spaces seem to be stuck in time. Like in
other areas, having an outdated dcor style
makes a room look lost in time. While a
space might have looked fabulous when it
was initially decorated ve or more years
ago, unless it has a classic, timeless look, it
can quickly go from grand to bland. While it
is unrealistic to perpetually decorate a room,
it is advisable to refresh a rooms style every
ve years or so. An inexpensive way to do
this is by simply giving your space a new lick
of paint in new shades that are reective of
current dcor trends. Below are a few shades
to revitalise your dcor.
Shades of grey
Do not trash the idea until you try it.
Many people associate the colour with
cold, cloudy days, but grey has proved
that it is versatile and fun. Grey can be a
great hue to try on your bathroom walls.
It would work especially well if you furnish
the room with silver accessories like grey
candles on glass candle sticks. For a pop of
colour, use some turquoise textiles such as
a shower curtain and matching towels. Last
but not least, frame some black-and-white
close-up clip art photos of body parts like
feet and hands.
Purple haze
Not for the fainthearted, the orchid purple
trend is dramatic and cheerful. It will do
wonders in transforming a white-tiled
kitchen as the white of the tiles will make
the purple pop even more. Pair the purple
with clear, futuristic chairs and a line-up
of simple glass jars lled with your regular
kitchen condiments. To complete the look,
use a dramatic oral blossom pendant lamp
to create a lighting focal point in the middle
of the room.
Blush pink
Barely-there pink is a pastel to try in
your dining area. The pink will look even
better when it is used alongside traditional
mahogany wooden furniture. Add some
African avour by framing a piece of ethnic
mud cloth as a piece of wall art above the
table. Also, instead of using simple candle
sticks, place two African wooden gurines
on the table.
Metal on metal
The rule has always been that you should
never mix silver and gold, but that rule has
been turned on its head. A good place to
try this trend is your bedroom. First, paint
your walls olive green, then use silver-hued
textiles on your bed. Above your headboard,
get your fundi to frame a gold-printed wall
paper as a piece of art. Finally, place a large
silver framed mirror on one wall and scatter
some gold candles and candle sticks at the
foot of the mirror.
Blue blooded
It used to be that blue was the go-to colour
when Kenyan home owners were decorating
their bathrooms. However, blue has proved
that it can be used in other rooms as well,
including the living room. A simple way to
use blue in the living room is to paint two
of your four walls a deep navy blue. The
other walls should be painted in brilliant or
soft white. Next, get your fundi to upholster
your seats in mustard yellow. Now, add some
black-and-white hounds tooth or zebra print
cushions on the seats and accessorise the
room with some black-and-white pencil
drawings of your loved ones. To complement
the blue, have your fundi paint your coee
table a dark black shade of varnish. Place
some glass domes on the coee table and
ll them with blue candles.
There, you have it; shades to give your
space a new lease of life.

The National Housing Corporation
(NHC) plans to build another 2,000 police
housing units following the successful
completion of 44 housing units at the
Ruai police station in a record six months.
The Ruai houses on the outskirts
of Nairobi are the rst large-scale
government project built using modern
technology, which has signicantly
reduced the project duration, the NHCs
managing director, Mr Wachira Njuguna,
said, adding that the corporation had the
capacity to deliver the remaining 1,956
units.
The Ruai police housing project was
our rst project to be completed in record
time and NHC has the requisite resources
to deliver the remaining housing units
within six months, said Mr Njuguna.
The Ruai project is part of the police
reform programme that aims to improve
the welfare of security ocers.
In fullment of our mandate, we are
working very closely with the National
Government to ensure that we oer our
uniformed forces decent housing, he
said.
The houses are built using expanded
polystyrene panels (EPS), which speed up
delivery time.
The EPS panels, which are
manufactured at NHCs factory in
Machakos County, have several benets,
including aordability, safety, faster
construction time, and reduced labour
costs, the managing director said.
The factory can produce 800 panels a
day, which is enough to put up 30 houses
of 100 square-metre plinth area each day,
the corporations manufacturing division
general manager, Mr Andrew Saisi, said.
He added that EPS technology has
been used to construct structures up to
20 storeys high.

T
he living room is one of
the best areas to show
interior design prowess
and style since it is the
face of the rest of the house and
sets the tone.
The sofa is part of what
characterises the living room
and in recent years, the traditional
design has evolved from the
ve- or seven-seater sets to the
L-shaped sofa or its curved option,
also known as the corner sofa.
Sofas are now being designed
as more than just comfortable
seats; they have become statement
pieces to show o in the home.
Although they remain largely
practical and comfortable, people
are increasingly considering them
works of art and using them to
give their living rooms a modern
feel.
Unlike the traditional ve- or
seven-seaters, the L-shaped or
curved options come in blocks,
which are easier to move around
and position while at the same
time maximising on space. An
L-shaped sofa also streamlines
seating arrangements, especially
in a small room since it uses space
eciently and can make the room
look spacious.
But an L-shaped sofa can work
just as well in a big room, especially
if it is complemented with other
seating arrangements.
L-shaped sofas come in dierent
styles and looks, such as the
classic leather sofa that can t in
all styles of living rooms and is
still a favourite in many homes.
There is also the fabric L-shaped
sofa that looks and feels homely,
thus adding an inviting and warm
style to the living room.
L-shaped sections are ideal for
a girls night in, a family lm night,
or even the guys football night.
Feature in new designs
Cushion-backed sofas are also
popular and feature heavily in
the new designs of the L-shaped
sofa.
It is advisable to choose an
L-shaped or curved sofa that
matches the rest of your interior
dcor. A leather L-shaped or
curved option would look great
in interiors with more modern wall
and window treatments, colour,
and even art pieces or paintings.
For a more homely feel, the fabric
option is more appropriate as it
provides a warm and inviting
feel.
The L-shaped or curved sofa
should also be placed facing the
entry into the room to create a
welcoming and inviting feel. If
arranged any other way, those
using the living room might
feel separated from the rest of
the home, and it might also be
cumbersome for them since they
would have to go around it to be
able to sit on it.
To make the most of a corner
in a room, an L-shaped or curved
sofa is the best option as it uses
space and makes a room cosy and
inviting. Since it is made up of two
or three dierent pieces arranged
together to form the distinctive
L-shape or curve, it is suitable for
use in a corner.
Placing it in a corner allows
more floor space because you
do not have to leave room for a
walkway behind and around the
sectional. This makes it an ideal
position for many small rooms.
The L-shaped sofa can also be
positioned to form a focal point in
the room and when coordinated
with other elements such as colour
or texture, it creates a harmonious
and cohesive style. It is also a great
option if one wants to use it as the
centrepiece in a room or if one
does not want to draw attention
to the walls.
Still, the colour of the walls
should complement the sofa and
make it stand out. For instance,
if the sofa is a dull brown or gold
shade, one can paint the walls
an o-white colour in order to
emphasise the colour of the
sofa.
One can also place a matching
ottoman opposite the sofa not
only to increase seating space,
but also accessorise and add
style. The upholstery on the
ottoman should also complement
the sofas colour.
A coffee table that matches
the style and height of the sofa
can also be placed in front of it
to provide room for newspapers
and keys or even decorative items.
For instance, a square table could
be used for an angled sofa while
a round table would be best for
a curved seating arrangement. A
matching side-table on one side of
the sofa can also be incorporated,
if space allows.
A floor lamp can be placed
in a corner behind the sofa to
illuminate the space and provide
a reading nook. One can use
a tall lamp to add height to
the space and prevent it from
appearing cluttered. Another
option is to offset traditional
sofa upholstery with a modern
lamp or a lampshade made from
natural bre.
Mount an attractive portrait,
painting, or fancy mirror on the
wall behind the longer side of
the sofa to highlight space and
enhance beauty.
Finally, place a tall plant in a
decorated pot behind the shorter
side to add natural colour to the
area. Indoor palms, corn, or
bamboo, would be a great plant
choice.
Today,
sofas are
not just
comfort-
able seats;
they have
become
statement
pieces to
be shown
o in the
home.

hen James Karani
saw the artistic
impression of the
family house he
intended to build on his newly-
bought piece of land in Ruaka, he
fell in love with it. That was two
years ago and his untrained eye did
not detect the little imperfections
the house would have, based on
the architectural plan. So he
immediately, approved the plan
and construction of the three-
bedroom house began.
Fast forward to last year, when
the house was completed. James
was feeling proud of the home
he had built for his family until
his wife made an off-the-mark
comment that left him disgruntled.
There seems to be a lot of space
wasted inside this house, he
recalls her saying, thinking just
how ungrateful she was.
That was until an old
schoolmate, who owned an
interior design company made
a similar comment during their
house-warming party. This house
is great, but I think you should do
something about the dead spaces,
his friend remarked.
According to Mr Dominic
Nyaga, an interior designer with
Reinvent Creatives Ltd, Karanis
situation is not peculiar. Many
home owners, tenant, and buyers
are faced with nooks all the time
and they barely know how to make
them useful, he says.
He adds that nooks, technically
known as dead spaces, are
areas in the house that occupy
considerable space but do not t
into the conventional arrangement
of many houses and thus end up
being unused. Such places include
the attic, spaces below stairs,
corridors, balconies, basements,
corners, and lofts.
Below staircases
When Mr Karani prodded his
design friend to explain what he
meant by dead spaces, one of the
places he mentioned was below the
staircases. Mr Karani explains that,
unlike most houses, which have
just one staircase, his had three,
one leading to each bedroom, plus
a spiral staircase leading to the
attic. This, Mr Nyaga
says, can be rectied
by asking yourself a
number of questions
that are unique to
your household. For
instance, if you have
young children, the
space can be turned
into a study or
play area by simply
buying the necessary
childrens furniture,
he points out.
And if neither of the
above options appeals
to you, you can use the
space under a staircase
to store tools or toys.
Or you can x a shoe
rack.
According to Mr Nyaga, the attic,
which refers to the roof space, is
perhaps the biggest nook in most
houses. He says: The reason the
attic is a common nook in most
family houses is because, unlike
oces or apartments, these houses
tend to have high roofs, leaving
considerable space between the
roof and the ceiling. This leaves
a big and spacious attic, which is
unused. However, he adds, when
you nd yourself with a large and
spacious attic that is lying idle,
there are a number of ways you can
make it useful. One of the ways is
turning it into a guest bedroom.
Most large, middle-class families
tend to lack a spare room that a
guest can sleep while visiting and
the attic can be a great solution
to this problem, he says, and
adding: If the attic has a strong
ceiling below and it is especially
low, a little decoration and repair
can turn it into an excellent
guestroom. If its large enough,
you can even partition it. And
since guests only visit occasionally,
Mr Nyaga says, an attic guest room
can work out very well into the
daily routine of the house since
maintaining it should be easy
and less frequent. Alternatively,
suggests the interior designer, the
attic can be turned into a party
lounge or play hall for a candle-lit
dinner, a family fun play, or even a
party. If you have a teenage boy
who no longer wants to share a
room with his younger brothers,
the attic is a good option to give
the new man in your house his own
pad, suggests Mr Nyaga.
Basement
For people with young children
who want to set up home bars,
Mr Nyaga usually suggests the
basement since it can easily be
locked and made inaccessible to
children.
The basement is also my
favourite place for having the
gaming area for reasons, he says,
adding: This can easily be done
by having a pool or poker table
in the basement, a darts chart, or
any other game kit, depending on
your interests.
For those who like packed
food from the supermarket, Mr
Nyaga says it is possible to have a
kitchenette in the basement, with a
microwave and some utensils.
However, he cautions, a kitchen
where actual cooking is done
should never be in the basement
as there tends to be poor air
circulation that cannot suciently
support combustion.
The basement is also ideal for
a home oce, not only because
of the peace it oers, but also
because it has enough space to
accommodate the assortment of
supplies and equipment required
in an oce.
Balcony
I once lived in a building
that had large balconies for each
apartment and my wife used to
complain how our neighbours
reserved their balconies for dirty
shoes, washing utensils, and other
clutter that come with homes,
says Mr Nyaga.
When they moved into the
apartment, he adds, he bought
containers, bottles, and boggy
bags, which they used to grow
vegetables and other plants right
on their balcony.
This is known as apartment
gardening in pre-urban farming,
according to Dr Maina wa Mwangi,
a plant production and protection
lecturer at Kenyatta Universitys
School of Agriculture.
If you do not fancy practising
apartment gardening on your
balcony, Mr Nyaga continues,
you can turn it into your resting
area.
Balconies normally tend
to have a gentle breeze that is
refreshing and also the right
balance of sun, he says.
Thus, he explains, having a day
bed, rocking chair, or hammock on
the balcony will not only provide
an excellent environment, but also
an ideal place for unwinding and
meditating.

The morning turned out
ne and the birds sang merrily
to welcome the new day.
It had rained, and Nyamira
Kango was looking green
and fertile. The healthy plants
of nger millet danced in the
morning breeze. Far and near
one could see the bent backs
of men and women working in
their elds.
Grandfather came out of
the house carrying a folding
chair and the letter they had
received the previous day.
He placed the chair under
the big tree in the centre of
the compound and called:
Nyar Asembo, bring over the
small table, He sat heavily in
the chair and, took out the
letter, unfolded it and started
reading. A contented smile
spread across his face.
That letter has made you
happy, said Grandmother
as she placed a small table
before the old man.
Yes. Its the best letter
I have read in years, said
Grandfather, as he spread the
letter on the table.
Read it to me, then.
Bring your chair, Nyar
Asembo, or else you will be so
tired from standing that you
will not enjoy it.
When Grandmother
was comfortable in her seat,
Grandfather bent over the
letter. And slowly he started
reading, stressing each
word as he read. The letter
was written in English but
he translated it into Dholuo
so Grandmother could
understand.

THANK YOU for being a de-
voted reader of our articles.
You are already a step ahead
since you have identified
the goals you would like to
achieve and have the vision
to guide and motivate you.
It would be wise for you
to ne-tune your goals and
prioritise them in categories
based on time and impor-
tance so as to give them the
time and effort needed to
accomplish them. It is im-
possible to work on a dozen
goals at once and give them
the attention and energy they
deserve. If you take on more
goals than you can handle,
you may end up feeling frus-
trated that you are not mak-
ing as much progress as you
would have hoped.
Prioritising your list
enables you to determine
less important goals so that
you can start focusing more
on the high priority goals.
Prioritising also gives you a
road map so that you can de-
cide which goals to pursue in
order of importance. You will
need to determine the goals
that will aect the welfare of
your family and those that
will give a return for the time
invested.
Add value
Determine how much time
it will take you to accomplish
each goal. Write down a real-
istic time frame in which you
think you can accomplish
each of your targets. This will
ensure that you focus on goals
that are easier to achieve over
a shorter time frame. You
would also need to determine
how accomplishing one goal
will aect another and how
much money it will cost to ac-
complish each one of them. It
is advisable to focus on goals
that will add value and wealth
over those that will decrease
wealth or do not add value.
The next step would be
saving towards your goals
based on their priority. This
would require you to track
your expenses and assess
how you spend your money
and how much is available
for your savings. A personal
expense diary will be a great
tool in helping you monitor
your expenditure. Savings
will also ensure that you have
an emergency fund that you
can use without losing focus
of your other goals.
Finally, assessing the
progress and taking correc-
tive action is essential. One
needs to periodically review
and reassess goals based on
new information or change in
priorities. In terms of track-
ing your goals and the order
of achievement, prepare a
list of the goals in order of
urgency. You could keep
this schedule in a diary but
alternatively, and for more
exibility, a spreadsheet on
your computer can see you
track your savings.
However, you may con-
sider engaging the services
of a nancial expert who, us-
ing proprietary applications,
can help track and guide you
in line with your goals. This
helps in focusing on truly
urgent issues so that you do
not lose track of your com-
mitments or allocate more
resources to less currently
urgent issues, hence losing
out on the bigger picture.
Thank you for the advice you oer young people are seeking self-employment.
I am employed as a web developer at a local university. My contract ends mid this
year, after which I want to start my own company.
From experience, I realise that having a company works well, so I am in the
process of registering one. I have established some useful networks. What can I
do to enable me to realise my dream? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Amba
cash point
BUSINESS demands that one get
as many customers as possible and
keep them. Take note of the words
keep them. This is important be-
cause getting a new sale or customer
is not easy. Therefore, an entrepre-
neur requires a business model that
will enable the customers that buys
from you to keep bringing more
revenue by continuously buying or
paying for the service you provide.
Acquiring new customers is a
game of numbers and it involves a
vibrant marketing and sales force.
Marketing is simply communicating
the value of a product or service to
customers for the purpose of selling
it. A sale, on the other hand, brings
in money or other form of compen-
sation.
Therefore, to get business revenue
from new or existing customers, you
need to eectively communicate the
value of your product or service
rst. This is what promotional print
items, signage, advertisements,
websites and other related market-
ing activities strive to achieve.
Translate into sales
The more people know about
what your business provides, the
higher the likelihood of increased
sales. This is why as an SME, you
need to prioritise marketing. As you
do this, you will sometimes realise
that a person walking into your shop
or reading a brochure about your
product does not necessarily trans-
late into a sale. It is important to
understand the dierence between
marketing and sales.
Let us take a simple example of
something many of us have experi-
enced or heard before. I remember
people making fun of how some
Asian shopkeepers would literally
follow a prospective walk-in cus-
tomer outside to oer an extended
discount just to close the sale. If
a customer has walked into your
business and you have provided
enough information on the value
of the product you are selling, that
is a sales-ready customer. They will
denitely buy it from you or the
competition.
It is, therefore, important to en-
sure that you acquire that customer
by closing the sale even if it means
slightly lowering your prot margin.
Remember, it costs more to acquire
a new customer than to maintain
one.
If you have sta working for you,
ensure that they have good infor-
mation on the value your product
provides. They can communicate
it to prospective clients either face
to face, via the phone, or on email
eectively. This must be done with
utmost customer service etiquette.
I have walked into many busi-
nesses and been disappointed, not
by the product but by the person at-
tending to me. If that new customer
buys from you today, remember,
they are likely to come back and you
do not need to take them through
the full cycle unless they are buying
a new product.
Marketing network
To increase your revenues as an
SME, ensure that you have a far-
reaching marketing network that
informs as many people as possible
about your products or services and
their value. This is at the top of the
sales and marketing funnel. Once
you have qualied the prospective
customers as sales-ready, become
creative to ensure that they buy
from you. This is the bottom of
the sales funnel and there will be
far fewer deals closed compared to
what is known about what you sell.
And this is what makes acquiring
new customers a game of numbers.

First, let me say you do a good
job assisting helpless Kenyans who
are denied what is rightfully theirs.
Kindly help me sort out my DStv
service problems. I do not know
whether there is anyone at Multi-
Choice who can assist me.
My woes started on 24 August,
last year. I paid my monthly sub-
scription for a compact bouquet
using M-Pesa on that date. To my
utter surprise, the transaction was
reversed, but I did not notice this
immediately. It took the pay televi-
sion company a month to realise this
as well.
However, the problem worsened
when I paid my September subscrip-
tion via M-Pesa. In this transaction, I
even upgraded to the DStv Compact
Plus bouquet, but it was discon-
nected.
On enquiry, DStvs contact centre
told me that I had a bill to clear.
I provided the M-Pesa message to
substantiate my contention and the
rm reconnected me.
Later, the DStv oce informed
me that the 24 August, 2013, M-
Pesa transaction had been reversed
on the same day I wired the cash.
The company asked me to pay
Sh2,848 immediately lest it discon-
nects its services.
Perturbed by the turn of events,
I visited Safaricom on October 29,
last year and obtained my M-Pesa
statement. It confirmed the de-
clined transaction. I, therefore, paid
the Sh2,848 immediately, but I was
still disconnected in November.
Where did my payment go?
Surely, this time, Safaricom has not
cancelled the payment?
Please help me get to the bottom
of this suering.

Hi Kevin
Thank you for asking for our
assistance.
It is unfortunate that you
have suered at the hands of
your pay television service
provider.
We got in touch with both
MultiChoice, the company that
operates DStv, and Safaricom,
and they promised to work
together to ensure that your
problem has been amicably
solved.
Safaricom has responded
with information that the mat-
ter has now been resolved. We
hope that you are now able to
access your subscribed chan-
nels without any challenges.
Feel free to conrm this to
us.
I trust that this email nds you
well. My name is Nahashon, a rst
year student at Moi University, main
campus, in Eldoret.
I applied for nancial assistance
from the Higher Education Loans
Board (Helb) in October last year.
On realising that all my col-
leagues had received their dis-
bursements, I contacted the Helb
customer care desk to establish why
there was a delay in my case. I was
informed that my loan request had
not been processed because the
identication card number of one of
my guarantors did not exist.
I explained that the guarantor
in question worked with the Kenya
Defence Forces and that I had pro-
vided the military ID number (which
is what soldiers use in their day-to-
day life).
But the Helb representative
insisted that I had to provide a
civilian ID number instead. Luckily
I had it and gave it to the ocial
immediately.
The lender promised to proc-
ess and wire my loan allocation
within two weeks. Surprisingly, two
months down the line, I am yet to
receive the money.
Shockingly, my Helb online ac-
count shows that I have never ap-
plied for nancial assistance.
My studies are on the verge of
hitting a brick wall due to lack of
fees. I do not have upkeep money
either. I can hardly concentrate on
my studies.
I have several times tried calling
the Helb oces for a follow-up, but
I am given the usual tranquillising
drug of wait.
Yvonne, as I write to you, I do
not know how long I am supposed
to wait.
You are the only hope I have left.
Please help me.
N. Njoroge
Thank you, Njoroge, for con-
tacting us on this case.
We empathise with your ef-
forts to get funding for your
education.
We have been in communica-
tion with the students nan-
cier. Helb noted that loan ap-
plications are processed upon
submission of required docu-
mentation and signatures.
Your maiden application was
registered in the Helb system
on 13 November last year, but
could not be processed due to
the missing information you
have stated.
Upon re-submission of the
fresh details, they were cap-
tured in the Helb system on
February 18.
At the moment, your appli-
cation awaits allocation of cash
subject to availability of funds.
The nancier has, however,
apologised for any inconven-
ience caused.

Safaricom and Multichoice promised
to work together to see you enjoy your
bouquet.
A call by a global airline
brought a bevy of young
women across Kenya to Nai-
robi, keen to get hired as ight
attendants. The high turnout
underscores the fact that air-
lines are always hiring.
It also points to the high
level of condence and self-
esteem required as this is a
job for beautiful and highly
sociable people.
Beauty, however, is an inter-
esting topic and many people
dier on what can be termed
beautiful. Airlines tend to fa-
vour candidates who t inter-
national standards of beauty.
While a ight attendants job
seems to be about looks, here
are a few points worth noting
if this is your dream job:
Join beauty pageant
That beauty is big business
is no secret. The many model-
ling agencies that churn out
beauty queens every year
conrm this. Most of the
training centres require their
candidates to t a certain
mould that is similar to what
airlines demand. For every
beauty queen, thousands fall
by the wayside a clich that
everyone is a winner is true for
beauty pageants.
According to Terry Mungai
of Ashleys Kenya, the Miss
World Kenya franchise holder,
whenever she ies, she feels
at home. I meet so many
girls who participated in the
pageant who call me Mummy
working for airlines across the
world.
Being in a pageant builds
self-esteem and gives one
grooming, make-up, and
skincare tips. This skills help
one accentuate his/her good
points. And for airlines that
demand that attendants look
their best, this is the rst place
they turn to because they
know they will get a rened
product.
Performing arts
Participating in theatre pro-
duction, television drama, or
featuring in adverts gives one
a competitive advantage, too.
The assumption is that for one
to participate, they are likely
to be individuals with high
self-monitoring skills allowing
them to t in all situations and
interact with people from dif-
ferent cultures. Most notable
is thespian Lizz Njaga, who
worked with Dubai-based
Emirates.
Become a ground hostess
It makes sense to practise
on the ground in order to
work as an air hostess. By
working in hotels that host air-
line sta, for instance, you are
at an advantage because you
may establish contacts with
an airline executive who has
the ability to see you move
from a simple hotel waiter to a
ight attendant.
Get hired
Airlines invest a lot of train-
ing in attendants and quite
often, they poach their rivals
crew. Many airlines have an
open-door policy and will
accept attendants from their
competitor. Therefore, by
working for a small airline, you
establish a good basis from
which your dream to join a
global carrier could become
a reality.
Airlines too, seek a mul-
titude of skills that are not
expressly stated in a vacancy
advert. For instance:
Languages
Airlines expect customers
from all walks of life. The ideal
jobholder should ably speak
the customers language. Most
express a preference for multi-
lingual candidates, although
they classify this as an added
advantage.
Swimming and rst aid
skills
For candidates who make
it past the preliminary round
of interviews, one could face
a physical tness examination
that includes a swimming test.
Notably, many ight paths are
over oceans, forests, and vast
deserts. In the unfortunate
event of an air crash, swim-
ming and rst aid skills may
make the dierence between
life and death.
Gender
Times have changed and
while the air hostess was a
moniker for ight attendant,
social and economic empow-
erment has seen women con-
stitute a large part of airlines
customers, therefore opening
up opportunities for men to
work as attendants as well.
Therefore, rather than wait
for that ever-elusive call for
ight attendants, get busy
doing something that will set
you on the path to meeting
an airline scout and, thereby,
smiling your way to the skies.

For years, Peter Lesuuda was
among rural Kenyans who spend
over Sh86 billion a year on kerosene
to light up their homes.
I kept hoping that electricity
would nally connect my home in
Ol Moran, Laikipia County, he says.
Tired of waiting, Mr Lesuuda bought
solar equipment worth Sh35,000 in
February last year. Ive not gone
without light since. The system
powers my two-bedroom house, a
21-inch television, and a radio.
This year, Mr Lesuuda has bigger
plans. I have saved Sh90,000 for
a submersible solar water pump to
start irrigation farming, he says.
According to Mr Norman Chege, a
solar manager at Davis and Shirtli,
a borehole submersible solar pump
costs Sh140,000. The solar pump
is designed based on the distance of
pumping and the required amount
of water for irrigation, says Mr
Chege.
A smallest system costs about
Sh40,000. This includes the solar
pump, solar panels, and installation
accessories, he says. Small-scale
farmers can have a tailor-made
system.
A solar system able to power at
least six bulbs, a TV, and a radio
would cost about Sh30,000 while a
small 160-litre solar water heating
system attracts Sh100,000.
Sustainability
According to Mr Canary Njihia,
a solar engineer at World Vision,
aordability, reliability, and sustain-
ability of solar energy has gained
popularity among consumers. Money
found out that the cost of solar light-
ing kits ranges between Sh3,500 and
Sh140,000, depending on the type
and capacity of the equipment.
Other products that have gone
solar include lanterns, torches, cook-
ers, and fridges.
According to Mr Simeon Ogonda,
an expert at JuaLight Solar Com-
pany, 841 solar lanterns have been
distributed in Kwale, Kisumu, and
Makueni counties. We design the
solar lanterns and distribute them
at a subsidised cost to low-income
earners who have been using kero-
sene, says Mr Ogonda.
A survey done by mobile technol-
ogy startup, M-Kopa Solar, found
that o-grid low-income earners in
Kenya use at least Sh50 a day on
paran. With small and medium
enterprises such as JuaLight coming
up to supply cheap energy, the up-
take of solar has attracted nanciers
looking to boost adoption of the
green technology.
In February this year, M-Kopa re-
ceived a Sh1.72 billion loan from the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
and the Commercial Bank of Africa
to light o-grid low-income rural
homes. Underlying the importance
of solar energy, the loan from Bill
Gates is the rst debt to an enter-
prise in Africa.
The M-Kopa solar system consists
of a panel, two light bulbs, one port-
able light, a mobile phone charger,
and a radio. According to Jesse
Moore, M-Kopas managing direc-
tor, the company is currently con-
necting over 1,000 homes with solar
power every week. Buyers pay Sh40
a day for a small home solar kit after
making a Sh2,500 deposit through
Safaricoms M-Pesa and Sh50 a day
for a bigger kit on paying a Sh2,999
deposit.
The payment period for the prod-
ucts is one year.
At a Safaricom outlet, a buyer
will get a solar kit and a SIM card.
The line enables the buyer to send
Sh40 a day via M-Pesa, down from
Sh50, using ordinary lines, says Mr
Moore. Buyers can make monthly or
daily payments.
In rural areas, many people have
chosen solar due to its one-o pay-
ment compared to electricity. The
advantage of high capacity solar
equipment is that it only requires a
one-o payment, unlike the electric-
ity grid, says Mr Njihia.
According to Kenya Power, con-
sumers situated close to electricity
grids and whose total connection
cost is less than Sh135,000 pay
Sh35,000. Consumers in farther
locations pay more.
Take Ms Josephine Machio, a
resident of Eldoret, for example. I
wanted to get connected to the elec-
tricity grid but I realised that solar
was a better alternative, she says.
My electricity connection required
Sh75,000. I could use the same
amount to get high capacity solar
equipment.
Fluctuating monthly electric-
ity bills are also pushing people to
adopt solar power. Many homes in
urban areas have been buying solar
water heaters and panels to cushion
them in the event of power loss,
says Mr Njihia.
Backup system
Mr Anthony Wangondu, a resi-
dent of Nairobis Lavington area, has
installed a solar hot water and power
backup system at his home.
For Ms Milkah Atieno, a grocery
vendor in Kangemi, Nairobi, going
solar was purely for business pur-
poses. I have a small kibanda (stall)
which I used to close at 6.30pm
due to lack of light. I tried candles
and a kerosene lamp, but this ate
into my proceeds, she says. After
saving Sh9,000 and acquiring two
solar lanterns, I now close business
around 9pm. The light is sucient.
She now makes an extra Sh3,000
prot every month since March, she
told Money.

The price of solar lanterns has been
about Sh3,500 for a while now, says Mr
Chege.
According to Mr Hassan Collins, a
solar expert in Nairobi, a high capac-
ity solar lantern costs about Sh11,500.
Between 2008 and early 2014, the price
of solar energy has dropped from Sh430
per megawatt to about Sh60. This has
been due to reduction in production
costs, new technologies, growth of pro-
duction capacity, improved cell conver-
sion eciency, and competition in the
industry, says Mr Chege.
Kenyans can save a lot on energy by
embracing solar. For instance, 60 per
cent of domestic electricity goes to
water heating. If we all installed solar
heaters, we would cut the costs by 60
per cent, notes Mr Chege.
Going forward, consumers are likely
to earn from solar investments in less
than two years. Money has established
that players in the industry are pushing
for a net-metering connection between
solar and the electricity grid.
We do not have regulations on solar
lighting systems, especially on hooking
to the national grid, known as net-me-
tering, notes Mr Chege. Once such
a connection is possible, consumers
will sell excess solar energy to Kenya
Power.
Net-metering would allow users to
have a meter that runs both electricity
and solar power, as it happens in devel-
oped countries such as Germany.
An increasing number of rural Ken-
yans are reaping the benets of adopt-
ing solar energy. For instance, more
than 35,000 people in Solai and Mbogo-
ini villages in Nakuru County are using
solar-powered water pumps.
The boreholes are 200 metres deep
and the pumps ll 100-cubic-metre stor-
age tanks situated 1.6 kilometres away.
The water is then distributed to resi-
dents within an eight- to 12-kilometre
radius, says Mr Njihia.
This is replicated in Wamba, Turkana
County, where a secondary school
has been enjoying power from a ve-
kilowatt solar system. It lights 144
energy-saving bulbs in the classrooms
and dormitories, a laboratory with 18
desktop computers, three oces, four
sta houses, and powers a 1.5-kilowatt
submersible pumping system, says Mr
Chege.
In Samburu County, 1,000 acres have
been set aside for the installation of a
solar water pump system.

Imagine a world where
shoeshining is digital. Yes, you
heard right. No human work-
ing on your shoes hurriedly in
order to serve the next person
in the queue.
Mr Kinyua Gichuhi has done
just that. He has introduced
digital shoe shiners in the mar-
ket. Presently, they are in 10 lo-
cations in Nairobi, but he hopes
to expand to the counties.
Mr Gichuhi has pumped over
Sh4 million into the venture,
which he relaunched early this
year. The entity zzled out after
its initial launch in 2007 due to
what he terms wrong business
footing.
Advertising
This time round, Mr Gichuhi
is happy as his hustle is paying
o. This is because his busi-
ness model is marketing and
advertising, and not simply
shoeshining.
You see, the digital shoe-
shiner is a large contrap-
tion that accepts Sh10 coins
through a slot. The machine,
placed strategically on the
lower end of the stand, brushes
and rolls systematically as you
position your shoe.
At the moment, the technol-
ogy only works for black and
brown leather shoes. Suedes
can get an ugly smudge of paint
on their soft surface.
Mr Gichuhi has convinced
several corporate giants to
advertise their products on
the contraption digitally
where there will be maxi-
mum exposure because shoe
polishing takes three minutes
per person.
It has taken Mbali Mbali
Communications formally
registered in 2010 innova-
tion to competitively stamp
its presence in a cut-throat
environment.
We aim to introduce market-
ing and communication con-
cepts that are unique. Concepts
that leave a lasting impression
on the target audience and
guarantee a wow eect, Mr
Gichuhi, whose journey to self-
employment started in Uganda
at Hotel Africana, says.
In 2005, Mr Gichuhi was
attending a Marketing Africa
event when he chanced upon
an analogue shoeshine con-
traption.
The shoeshiner had a mecha-
nism to run advertisements. He
found the idea fascinating and
decided to bring the business
to Kenya.
In November 2007, after sav-
ing for it, Mr Gichuhi imported
the machine and partnered
with a colleague to run posters
to be used on the contraption.
Hitches
Challenges set in, like how
to operate the machine, loading
ads, the right operating condi-
tions, and on and on. It was a
headache, he adds.
He got some advertisers on
board, but things started going
wrong as the posters would
sometimes get stuck when the
machine broke down.
He imported other machines
and secured operating sites
at the Kenyatta International
Convention Centre, 680 Hotel,
Galleria Mall, K1 Klubhouse,
and Green House Mall. How-
ever, the glitches continued,
aecting his advertisers con-
dence.
When payments are due, it
becomes a challenge to con-
vince them to pay when they
are pretty sure that their ad did
not run as promised, he notes.
After two years, Mr Gichuhi
closed shop and went back to
the drawing board. He asked
himself what he had done
wrong, what he could do to run
an eective rm, and how he
could regain clients trust. He
had many sleepless nights over
such questions.
Digital shoe box
He did some research and
found a digital shoe box where
advertisements could run from
a laptop. It cost Sh340,000.
He teamed up with a friend
who is experienced in digital
advertising, then installed the
relevant software in order to
post the adverts via the inter-
net.
This reduced our operation
costs as we no longer printed
the posters that had to be phys-
ically added or removed to the
spindle, said Mr Gichuhi.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PATRICK WAMEYO
Money habits of the wealthy that you can pick up
THE FEW successful people as well as
the not so successful are dened by simi-
lar habits in life. In goals to habits, the
missing link in wealth creation we high-
lighted the place of taking specic ac-
tions on goals in building wealth. When
it comes to wealth, money is merely a
measurement of success, which also
reects in your character.
Three habits; that of giving, of
investing and, of saving usually
dene and separate the poor from
the wealthy. When you set a goal
to become a millionaire, you in ef-
fect set a plan to save and invest
more, and give large. These habits
shape your attitudes and character.
The wealthy and the poor give a lot
money to other people. However, they
dier in their giving habits, the
sources scale, how and why they give
an irreconcilable dening dierence.
The poor give small amounts of money to
people close to them to meet shortgages
in ordinary course of life (social courses).
Their giving is sympathetic and informed
by feelings of pity rather than sustainable
joy of greatness. It is not shocking there-
fore to meet people with a salary income
sitting between them and plain zero
savings who give up the entire income in
cycles, to an unsustainable course that
merely turn the dependants lazy.
The wealthy on the other hand give
large cheques for greater society well-
ness. For this reason, they set up founda-
tions funded by greater returns from their
business or investment eort and friends
to pursue specic courses that improve
the society. Unlike the poor who give
away the seed, the wealthy give away the
fruit of investment in a way that builds
others. Their desire to generate more to
meet the deep giving desire is founded
on a mental attitude to create more.
This is quite in contrast with the poor
people whose primary limitation to -
nancial success is founded on inability
to think out protable ideas and lack of
seed money. When they are blessed with
income, consistent or otherwise, their
minds auto generate consumption signals
by default. By not saving a small propor-
tion of their income and putting it into
equally protable investments, they ac-
celerate the growing burden of bills that
anchor them down on the same spot.

Unga Group: According to Investax
capital boss Ndindi Nyoro, the stock
is a recommended medium- to
long-term buy. In February, the miller
posted a 52.7 per cent jump in its
half-year net prot. The growth was
boosted by a Sh4.26 million foreign
exchange gain, which reversed a
heavy currency-related loss in 2012.
Currently, the rm is mulling buying
a bakery as it prepares to enter the
nished cereal goods market.
On Friday, Unga closed at Sh26, a
Sh0.25 drop from the previous days
Sh26.25 per share and opened at
Sh26 on Monday.
However, according to Mr Nyoro,
with a market capitalisation of Sh1.97
billion and a per earnings ratio of 3.87,
the stock stands out as a good buy
for medium- to long-term investors.
Sameer Africa: Last week, the
rm posted Sh401 million net prot,
up from Sh188 million in 2012 due
to growth in sales. According to Mr
Moses Waireri, a research analyst at
Sterling Capital, the nalisation of
a trade partnership with a foreign
rm will drive sales. Last week, the
company signed a franchise deal with
a Chinese tyre maker. The company
has changed strategy and is now rely-
ing on exports. It is also expanding to
Malawi and South Africa, he notes.
The 213 per cent prot jump has
seen the stock rise to Sh9 per share
from Sh4.50 last year. On Friday, the
stock closed at Sh8.85 per unit, with
137,000 shares traded. On Monday,
it opened at Sh9 per share, hitting
Sh9.40 in the early trading session.
While short-term investors who
bought the stock at Sh5 per share can
cash in their 88 per cent prot growth
at Sh9.40, Mr Waireri says, investors
who made an entry at Sh4.50 can sell.
However, investors who made an en-
try between Sh7 and Sh8 should hold
on, he says.
Kenya Re: Late last month, Kenya
Re posted a Sh3.27 billion prot-after-
tax for the year ending December
2013, an 11 per cent jump compared
to 2012. The rm recommended a
Sh0.10 dividend. Kenya Res price has
been uctuating between Sh18.85
and Sh20 per share. Last week, the
stock traded 1.64 million shares, with
an intra-day trading range of between
Sh19.85 and Sh20.25 per share to
close at Sh20 a piece. On Monday, it
opened at Sh20.25 per share.
According to Mr Ian Gachichio, a
research analyst at Kestrel Capital,
Kenya Re holds long-term value. The
company is exposed to the entire
sector, making it a good choice in
comparison to other insurers. We rec-
ommend a buy for those yet to invest
and a hold for those holding it. It will
appreciate, he says.

It is stevia time. At least that
is what an increasing number
of farmers in Kenya say as they
open fresh income streams by
planting the natural sweetener.
The zero-calorie sugar sub-
stitute heaped with great health
benefits is now being grown
in Kericho, Nandi, Nakuru,
Laikipia, Uasin Gishu, Narok,
Meru, and Bungoma counties.
And there is ready market in
China, Malaysia, Paraguay, and
Brazil.
Mr Kim Martins, a pioneer
stevia farmer in Kericho, said
he planted the crop on a 15-acre
farm in 2009 and has never re-
gretted it. He took up the idea
from PureCircle, a company
that promotes commercial
farming of stevia.
What was just a pilot project
has turned into a great success.
I make an average of Sh58,000
every month, which is way
higher than the price of tea that
I used to rely on, said Mr Mar-
tins, who is also a manager of
Chesumot family tea estate.
He harvests ve tonnes of
stevia per acre every year from
which he earns Sh105 a kilo. He
has been contracted to supply
cuttings for planting to new
regions that have been certi-
ed to be suitable for the crop
by the National Environmental
Management Authority and the
Kenya Plant Health Inspector-
ate Service.
In December last year, Mr
Martins said he supplied 200
kilogrammes of cutting to
farmers in Meru and 364 kilo-
grammes to others in Bungoma
in partnership with PureCircle.
Each kilo has an average of 370
cutting and goes for Sh400.
Stevia is the highest pay-
ing crop. However, it is not for
the lazy as it requires constant
weeding, he said.
Mr Martins believes that any
crop with proven medicinal ef-
fect is good for future industries
as more people become mindful
of their health and what they
consume.
This is why I also pioneered
the planting of the highly
medicinal purple tea clones
TRFK 430/90 and TRFK 371/
3 when they were released in
2011, he said.
Once harvested, stevia is
dried in raised, sheltered wire
mesh for a week before being
weighed and surrendered to the
PureCircle company.
The commodity is then
transported to Mombasa port
for shipping to China, where
the sweetener is extracted be-
fore nal processing is done in
Malaysia.
In a phone interview with
Money, PureCircle Kenya gen-
eral manager Priyanko Chat-
terjee said farmers were initially
slow to start planting the crop.
In Kericho, for instance,
farmers found it difficult to
ditch tea despite its compromis-
ing market prices. But they are
now dividing their farms to cre-
ate space for stevia, he noted.
PureCircle currently collects
an average of 20,000 tonnes of
stevia leaves monthly, from over
2,000 farmers who have gradu-
ally joined the business.
Production, he said, is ex-
pected to increase as new
regions begin to harvest the
sweetener. Farmers in about
nine counties are now tending
stevia.
Chatterjee pointed out that
the demand for the crop is
growing in Paraguay and Brazil,
where the best and most priced
stevia is grown and used to
sweeten food, treat burns and
stomach complications, and
sometimes as a contraceptive.
It is also used in place of
sugar for patients suffering
from acute diabetes. Stevia is
preferred since it is 200 times
sweeter than sugar and has no
calories or carbohydrates, he
stated.
However, he says that the
company is facing challenges in
scaling up production to the de-
sired level since the outgrower
model used is still slow. This, he
added, may delay the setting up
of a factory in Kenya.
Stevia factory
A local stevia factory may be
due in approximately four to ve
years, as production by then will
have clocked the 10,000 tonnes
of leaves per year required, said
Mr Chatterjee.
In Africa, Kenya is among the
pioneer counties to grow the
crop. The others are Rwanda
and the Central African Re-
public.
Experts predict that the es-
tablishment of the stevia agro-
based industry in Kenya could
likely spell doom for the sugar
industry.

I would appreciate if you could of-
fer more articles on non-life (general)
insurance, especially in the personal
lines and small business sectors. Could
you, for instance, comment on theft or
burglary insurance?
Kamau, CN., Thika

Thank you for your query. Every now
and then, I write on various non-life
insurance types, but I will be happy to
discuss theft and burglary.
Although the terms are used inter-
changeably, theft is much wider than
burglary. So let us start with their deni-
tion. Theft is dishonestly appropriating
property belonging to another with
the intention of permanently depriving
the other of it. This makes theft too
wide for most insurance purposes as it
would include pilferage and shoplifting.
Insurers, therefore, dene the cover
provided on business as for burglary,
which is theft following actual forcible
and violent entry into or exit from the
premises.
Burglary policy covers loss of or dam-
age to the property or the premises
described in the schedule for which the
insured is responsible. Theft covers are
also available under other types of in-
surance, for example, the all-risks policy,
motor policies, marine, goods-in-transit,
and money and delity guarantee insur-
ance. In all these instances, the theft
covered will be specically dened. It
should be noted that even where the
risk is covered on a stand-alone basis,
it is usually an auxiliary of property
insurance. For example, in the domestic
package where the contents are cov-
ered, the primary insurance against re
damage must rst be in place for the
burglary cover to be given.
But while many perils, such as re or
water damage, are considered universal
threats, the risk of theft varies drasti-
cally according to where the property
is located. Those living in areas with a
high rate of crime will nd themselves
paying signicantly more than those
living where burglary is not as common.
Hence, as crime plays such an impor-
tant part in calculating premium, the
level of security in the premises is a key
consideration. If certain steps to pre-
vent crime are taken, an insurer would
provide appropriate discounts in the
premiums charged.
The proposal form normally has a
section asking questions about security
and these should be answered cor-
rectly. For business proposers, another
section enquires into business records.
In household insurance such as the do-
mestic package, it is sensible to keep re-
ceipts of purchase of any items of par-
ticular value. These records can speed
up claims by conrming which goods
have been lost and their exact value.
Most policies require valuable items to
be listed separately and the insurer will
specify the criteria for what they dene
as valuable. Often, the insurer will in-
sist on particularly valuable items being
insured separately, such as under an all-
risks policy. For valuables, it is essential
that regular, independent valuation is
carried out where there is any possibil-
ity of dispute over how much an item or
collection is worth.
As with all insurance, theft or burglary
cover has exceptions, conditions, and
warranties. For exceptions, there are
standard endorsements to extend cover
for: Employees eects, breach of condi-
tions and warranties clause, automatic
reinstatement of loss, political risks, and
terrorism. The burglary policy has been
standardised by the Insurance Regula-
tory Authority, making it reader-friendly
and ameliorating some warranties to
conform to current sentiments on con-
sumer protection. But it is important
