Lawyers are seeking the
intervention of the Chief Jus-
tice in their ght to stop the
government from paying Anglo
Leasing companies.
The Law Society of Kenya
filed an application to have
the matter referred to Dr Willy
Mutunga to urgently constitute
a three-judge bench to deter-
mine the legality of the Sh1.4
billion payment before the
government makes any move
to settle the debt.
Lawyer James Mwamu, rep-
resenting LSK, argued that the
issues in dispute involved man-
agement of public funds and
good governance, which can
only be decided by an uneven
number of judges.
It would be a grave miscar-
riage of justice for the country
if the government is allowed to
pay out the huge sums, which
are not approved by Kenyans
because of leaders corrupt na-
ture. Unless the CJ appoints a
bench to determine the issues,
Parliament may approve the
payments without the peoples
consent, Mr Mwamu said.
LSK chief executive of-
cer Apollo Mboya swore an
adavit in support of the appli-
cation, stating that there were
serious issues of separation of
powers between the Judiciary
and Parliament that required
a bench of three judges to
determine.
Fictitious contracts
Any payment made to Anglo
Leasing would breach constitu-
tional requirement that public
money be used to uplift the
lives of Kenyans. Our money
must not be used to settle cti-
tious contracts, which need the
CJ to urgently appoint a bench
to hear the application, swore
Mr Mboya.
It would be against public
policy and illegal if the govern-
ment went ahead to pay while
at a time it is willing to reduce
salaries of its workers.
LSK claims the pay will be
against the will of Kenyans.

A
leading brewer is headed
for turbulent times with the
regulator after its products
were omitted from a list of alcoholic
beverages allowed in the market.
The National Authority for the
Campaign against Alcohol and Drug
Abuse (Nacada) yesterday published
what it termed the full list of al-
coholic products authorised for sale
in Kenya.
But Keroche Breweries Limited and
its brands were missing.
Yesterday, Nacada chairman John
Mututho said the company did not
submit documents and alcohol sam-
ples as demanded.
If the companys products are in
the market, it is magendo (illicit) and
we shall deal with it like any other.
After the deadline, any company that
is not in the published list should not
sell. The police, chiefs and the other
law enforcement ocers are expected
to conscate the products and have
the owners prosecuted, Mr Mututho
said.
Nacada acting chief executive
Enock Ochwari said the authority
and the police would conscate any
products not authorised to be in the
market. The companies had until May
11th to comply.
But Keroche Breweries managing
director Tabitha Karanja said her rm
had always submitted samples of its
products to the relevant government
bodies, including the Kenya Bureau
of Standards, and was shocked at the
current move that is likely to aect the
ow of its products in the market.
We will wait to see if they will
publish our products in subsequent
advertisements because we have pro-
vided the required samples and we do
not know why our products were not
published, Ms Karanja said.
Keroche is currently upgrading
its factory in Naivasha at a cost of
Sh5 billion to increase production
ten-fold and push its market share
to 20 per cent.
She said this was the latest war
waged against her company, adding
that rival rms have been trying to
curtail its growth. The rm has in the
past fought against an unfair taxa-
tion regime with the Kenya Revenue
Authority and won.
The companies that were published
in the Press yesterday were, however,
cautioned that their products would
be withdrawn if further studies found
their products were not t for human
consumption.
The companies are allowed to
continue doing business in the veri-
ed brands. However, if any of the
products and manufacturing plants
fail further mandatory qualitative and
quantitative tests, the products will
be withdrawn and appropriate action
taken by the relevant government
agencies, Nacada said.
Mr Mututho, while displaying some
of the samples presented for analysis
on Wednesday, told a TV station that
Keroche had not provided samples of
their products and could be having
problems in meeting some of the
requirements.
We have not cleared with Kero-
che. They have not provided some
documents. Traders should only sell
products that are published in the
papers, said a customer service of-
cer at Nacada.
Mr Onchwari said they had given
all the companies an opportunity to
comply and the law would be applied
to all equally.
Ms Karanja, however, said the com-
panys products were on sale and there
was no cause for alarm as they had
met all the requirements.

Police yesterday afternoon
raided an illicit brew plant in
Mikindani, Mombasa.
Ocers drawn from the Admin-
istration and regular police units
invaded the compound where they
found fteen 20-litre jerrycans of
locally made brew, a crate with 24
bottles of already sealed liquor, all
ready for transportation.
Assistant county commissioner
Kenneth Gitonga Mutungi, who
headed the operation, told the
Nation that nobody was arrested
during the raid, but police im-
pounded a truck that they believe
was waiting to be loaded.
Suspects alerted
Neighbours must have in-
formed them that we were coming.
However, we have been able nd
more than ten 2,500-litre tanks
that contain the brew. We have
several bottles in their thousands
packed in sacks, he said.
The ocers found the liquor
in various stages of distillation in
about seven rooms. Mr Mutungi
said the brew was being packed in
used Heineken beer bottles and
rebranded into various labels.
He said they were yet to estab-
lish the destination of the drinks
which were labelled Uuki Triple
Star and Taveta Banana Wine.
The assistant county commis-
sioner added that the label on one
of the brands indicated it had been
packed and distributed by Three
Wines Limited in Mombasa.
The Uuki Triple Star with a
Mombasa address was in green
bottles and had a Kenya Bureau
of Standards logo but no seals.

T
he world has witnessed
major gains in life ex-
pectancy in recent
decades, with women living
longer than men, a new study
has shown.
The World Health Statistics,
2014 indicate that a girl born
in 2012 can expect to live an
average of 72.7 years, while a
boy can live for 68.1 years.
This is six years longer than
the average global life expect-
ancy for a child born in 1990,
the study says.
The survey bearing data col-
lected from 194 countries and
released yearly by the World
Health Organisation (WHO)
since 2005 indicates that low-
income countries have made
the most signicant progress,
with an increase of nine years
of average life expectancy
between 1990 and 2012. This
translates to a move from 51.2
to 60.2 years for men and 54.0
to 63.1 years for women.
This has been achieved
despite the ongoing HIV
pandemic affecting many
low-income countries in sub-
Saharan Africa, the report
says.
The top six countries that
made the greatest progress in
extending life expectancy were
Liberia, Ethiopia, Maldives,
Cambodia, Timor-Leste and
Rwanda.
However, life expectancy
in high-income countries is
higher compared to the same
in low income countries, the
report shows.
In high-income countries,
much of the gain in life ex-
pectancy is due to success in
tackling non-communicable
diseases, according to Dr
Ties Boerma, Director of the
Department of Health Statis-
tics and Information Systems
at WHO.
In low-income countries,
an important contributor to
increasing life expectancy has
been the gains made in reduc-
tion of child deaths, as well
as reductions in deaths from
infectious diseases in adults,
WHO notes in the report.
The under-five mortality
rate fell from 75 to 48 deaths
per 1000 live births although
around 6.6 million children
died in 2012, the survey says.
A boy born in 2012 in a high-
income country can expect to
live to 75.8 yearsover 15 years
longer than a boy born in a low-
income country (60.2 years),
the report says.
For girls, the difference
is even more marked; a gap
of 18.9 years separates life
expectancy in high-income
(82.0 years) and low income
countries (63.1 years).
An important reason why
global life expectancy has im-
proved so much is that fewer
children are dying before
their fifth birthday, WHO
Director-General Margaret
Chan noted.
Measles declining
The WHO report reveals
that life expectancy among
men is 80 years or more in 9
countries, with the highest in
Australia, Iceland and Switzer-
land, WHO says.
Among women, all countries
in the top 10 have life expect-
ancies of 84 years or longer.
Women in Japan have the high-
est life expectancy in the world
at 87 years, followed by Spain,
Switzerland and Singapore.
At the other end of the
scale, there are 9 countries
(all in sub-Saharan Africa)
where the average life expect-
ancy for both men and women
is still less than 55 years, the
report says.
More progress was made in
saving children after the rst
month of life with child deaths
due to measles declining by -80
per cent while HIV/Aids-related
deaths declined.
Women are living
longer than men,
WHO report says
Life expectancy

ravages of HIV-Aids

income countries

Inspector-General of Police
David Kimaiyo yesterday in-
sisted that the ban on tinted
windows aects both private
and public service vehicles.
This comes even as citizens
questioned the legality of the
directive.
The police boss said the ban
applies to all vehicles driven
on Kenyan roads regardless of
who owns them or what they
are used for.
This is the law and it
must be obeyed by everyone.
It does not matter whose car
it is. Even foreigners driv-
ing into the country must
remove the tint from their
vehicle windows if it is to be
driven on Kenyan roads, Mr
Kimaiyo said.
He was speaking to jour-
nalists during a breakfast
meeting held to explain how
a new communications and
security surveillance system
that will be put in place by
Safaricom works.
Motorists whose cars will be
found with tinted windows will
be prosecuted, the police boss
warned. The vehicles will be
impounded, he added.
The directive was issued
on Tuesday as part of the
governments eorts to curb
rising terrorism that has cost
the country hundreds of lives
in the past few years.
Screened for arms
He also directed that all
passengers boarding public
service vehicles should be
screened for arms.
His statement contra-
dicts what his oce said on
Wednesday that the order
only affects public service
vehicles.
Some police officers are
already taking advantage
of the directive, harassing
motorists on the roads and
asking for bribes.

P
resident Uhuru Kenyatta
yesterday officially del-
egated executive power to
county commissioners, a move
that sparked immediate uproar
from governors and opposition
leaders.
The President further gave
Cabinet Secretaries full authority
to be in charge of their respective
dockets.
We should not hear any more
complains from Cabinet Secretar-
ies that they are being frustrated
by senior ocers who say their
position will remain after the sec-
retaries leave; this must end and
Cabinet Secretaries should now
manage their sta, he said.
The governors and the oppo-
sition said the new structure of
government would undermine
devolution.
Under the new order, county
commissioners will be the ocial
representatives of the National
Government in their respective
counties and will have wide-
ranging powers: from chairing
security meetings to coordinat-
ing responses to disasters and
enforcing discipline in the civil
service.
Mr Kenyatta, while launching
the new structure, gave an execu-
tive order delegating 10 functions
to the commissioners.
We are now giving responsi-
bilities directly to those who are
with the people so that the ques-
tion of we are waiting for orders
from above no longer exists, he
said. There are no orders from
above except the ecient delivery
of service... We are now giving you
responsibilities to perform those
functions.
He based his decision on Article
132 (3b) of the Constitution and
Section 7 of the National Gov-
ernment Coordination Act, 2013
which provide guidelines on how
the President may coordinate and
delegate functions.
Mr Isaac Ruto, the chairman of
the Council of Governors, said the
Presidents recreation of a pow-
erful provincial administration
was part of the wider scheme by
the government to destabilise
devolution.
Impeachment
He also said the ongoing im-
peachment wave was part of a
scheme to ensure that county gov-
ernments failed (story Page 5).
ODM said the Presidents ac-
tions amounted to presidential
authoritarianism (story Page 5).
The President had said that
the commissioners would be
solely held accountable if the
government mandate was not
well-implemented or executed.
He told the commissioners not
to wait for orders from above
and instead swing into action and
perform their duties.
If I do not sleep, you will not
sleep too, you will remain awake
until we have no insecurity and
citizens have received their right-
ful services, he said.
However, he did not define
how the commissioners would
relate with governors. In fact,
neither the word governor nor
devolution was mentioned dur-
ing the entire event in which the
President launched two important
policy documents on managing
civil servants and dening the role
of the National Government in
counties.
Public Service chairperson
Margaret Kobia said the two
documents the Policy Frame-
works on Decentralisation of
Human Resource in the Public
Service and Strengthening of
the National Government Co-
ordination Function would go
a long way in ensuring that the
civil service eciently and eec-
tively delivered its mandate.
Under the new changes, senior
ocers, those in Job Group S and
above, will be required to work on
xed contracts.
The fish rots from above,
therefore, to ensure eciency,
those in higher job groups will
be required to work on fixed
contracts, Prof Kobia said.
Mr Kenyatta warned of severe
sanctions against ocers who
failed to abide by his executive
order of being fair and responsible
in discharging their duties.
He said Cabinet Secretaries
now had the power to discipline
ocers under them.
The Public Service Com-
mission has now given you the
authority to manage the staff
under you. So if programmes
in your ministries are not im-
plemented, you will be held
accountable, he said.

T
he Orange party yester-
day dismissed President
Kenyattas move to del-
egate his powers and functions
to county commissioners say-
ing he had created presidential
authoritarianism.
But the Commission on the
Implementation of the Con-
stitution (CIC), the churches
through the National Council
of Churches of Kenya (NCCK)
and the Law Society of Kenya
(LSK) took the middle ground,
saying such delegation be exer-
cised in a manner that does not
undermine devolved units.
CIC chairman Charles Ny-
achae said such powers and
functions should be exercised
in line with the Constitution.
We assume what is being
delegated are the functions of
the national and not county
governments, he said.
He added that if the national
government had any issues
with the devolved functions,
then consultations were
important through the inter-
governmental consultation
mechanism provided for in
the Constitution.
Yesterday, Acting ODM
leader Anyang Nyongo criti-
cised the move, saying the
President had been harbouring
reservations against devolution
and had an entrenched faith in
authoritarian rule.
Prof Nyongo said the
President should have in-
stead scrapped the provincial
administration rather than
create a powerful structure in
the counties
This development must not
be allowed. It is tantamount to
further increasing the wage bill,
escalating constitutional crises
and engendering unnecessary
political tension, he said in a
statement to newsrooms.
The acting party leader
called on Mr Kenyatta to ac-
cept the will of the people
for local self-governance and
concentrate on national duties
including defence, foreign rela-
tions, Vision 2030 and good
constitutional governance.
LSK chairman Eric Mutua
said while the Constitution
allowed the President to del-
egate, such functions should
be constitutional.
If such a move is to ensure
ecient service delivery, then
the President cannot be faulted,
but it will be unconstitutional
to create an Executive at the
county level.
He expressed fears that the
matter may end up in court
with those opposed seeking
the interpretation of Article
132(3b) and section 7(2d)
of the National Government
Coordination Act which the
President said he was exercis-
ing in delegating the powers.
He said national and county
government were independent
and interdependent, a situation
he said, does not allow a paral-
lel system at the local level.
NCCK General Secretary
Canon Peter Karanja weighed
in saying the President should
ensure all he does is in line with
the Constitution.
The Constitution is
adequate in addressing all gov-
ernance issues and any action
either by the President or oth-
erwise should be evaluated on
the basis of the Constitution.
The President must always be
sensitive to that fact, he said
in a telephone interview.
ODM says Uhuru counties plan
will cause Executive dictatorship

tion under President

G
overnors yesterday warned
of a powerful plot to derail
devolution by blackmailing
county governments through in-
timidation and counter threats to
impeach the leaders.
They also claimed frivolous legisla-
tion sponsored by MPs knowingly or
unknowingly were part of the wider
plot to undermine devolution to kill
county government operations.
Led by Council of Governors chair-
man Isaac Ruto, the county bosses
further argued that President Keny-
attas move to recreate a powerful
provincial administration was part of
the wider scheme by his government
to destabilize devolution. The ongoing
impeachment wave, the governors
said, was a scheme to ensure that
county governments fail.
They called for the amendment of
the County Government Act to make
it dicult for agents of those out to
disrupt devolution from unnecessarily
impeaching governors.
We call upon the Senate to reject
frivolous impeachment proceed-
ings. In the long run, it is imperative
that Parliament reviews the County
Government Act, 2012, to introduce
a threshold of impeachment that
complies with Article 181 of the
Constitution and safeguards the
governors fundamental right to hold
political oce, Mr Ruto stated.
Speaking at the Boma Hotel in
Nairobi, the leaders particularly con-
demned the impeachment of Embu
Governor Martin Wambora and the
proceedings against Kerichos Paul
Chepkwony.
It is premature for county assem-
blies to discuss and approve motions
that are based on mere allegations,
said Mr Ruto, who is also the Bomet
Governor.
The politicians also rejected at-
tempts to create a national caucus
for their deputies and plans to have
them included in the Council of
Governors.
Fighting impeachment
The claims by the governors came
even as several of their counterparts
continue to ght for survival as they
face ousters arising from court or
parliamentary actions.
Governors Evans Kidero (Nai-
robi), Peter Munya (Meru), Nadhif
Jama (Garissa) and Okoth Obado
(Migori) are still in oce courtesy
of the Supreme Court which put on
hold Court of Appeal rulings nullifying
their election.
Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan
Joho is facing an onerous task at the
High Court after the Uganda National
Council for Higher Education nulli-
ed his degree last week. Mr Joho
claims that he obtained a degree from
Kampala University.
Mr Wambora is in court ghting the
decision by the Senate which voted
to impeach him for the second time
in less than three months.
The rst attempt had failed, thanks
to a court ruling.
In Kericho, 32 MCAs voted to send
home Prof Chepkwony on grounds of
gross violation of the Constitution,
abuse of oce and gross violations
of the County Government Act, the
Public Finance Management Act
and the Public Procurement and
Disposal Act.
The wave of impeachments
prompted Commission on the Im-
plementation of the Constitution
(CIC) chairman Charles Nyachae to
argue that it has been turned into a
political process by some members
of the county assemblies .
The obsession by MCAs to remove
governors will throw the Constitution
into a complete spin. The impeach-
ment is not a process to express a
vote of no condence. It has to have
specic procedures within the law,
said Mr Nyachae when he paid Elgeyo
Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos a
visit to assess the implementation
of the new statues.
Governors will be held at ransom
by the MCAs wishes which might not
be at the interest of the public unless
the due process as contained in the
Constitution is followed, he said.
Quoting Article 181 of the Consti-
tution, Mr Nyachae called for public
participation in determining fate of
governors in oce noting removal of
popularly elected leaders is not some-
thing that can be done so easily.
County chiefs claim move
to empower the provincial
administration is a ploy to
scuttle devolution
Commission on the Imple-
mentation of the Constitution
chairman Charles Nyachae said:
The Act needs to be reviewed
to include greater participation
in the impeachment process, to
make it fair and objective.
MCAs have no powers to give
verdict that a governor was not
performing. The Constitution sets
clear grounds on how governors
can be removed from oce and
the laws must be followed.

Tempers ared in a courtroom
yesterday when a police ocer
tried to handcu Homa Bay MP
Peter Kaluma(below) after he
was released on bail in a pending
fraud case arising from a land
sale deal.
The police officer rubbed a
battery of defence lawyers led by
LSK chairman Eric Mutua, up the
wrong way when he approached
the MP, handcuffs ready. The
lawyers labelled the court order-
lys action as uncivil.
They accused the policeman
of furthering the cause of a cartel
at the CID oces which has con-
spired against lawyers, and other
prominent people to force them
to plead to trumped up criminal
charges before parading them to
the media for embarrassment.
Mr Kaluma, also a lawyer, was

He had honoured summons that
later culminated in the lifting of a

Mr Kiplimo Rugut.
Devolution and Planning
Cabinet Secretary Ann
Waiguru (below) said the
service will start recruit-
ing 21,870 servicemen and
women per year as opposed
to the 2,000 currently.
They will be trained for
six months and later serve
for another four to six
months on pay while sav-
ing a compulsory Sh100 in
groups of 15.
The trained youths
would disciple an-
other 227,670 a year
countrywide, she said
yesterday in a presen-
tation on restructuring
NYS. The 227,670
youths will
serve the
nation for
between
four and
six months as paid labour
under the supervision of
the 21,870.
Through NYS Work
Camps, the 227,670 youths
to be regimented into 15,178
squads of 15 per squad, a
total of 323 squads per
county.
At the same time, lead-
ers in Nandi County have
protested over the removal
of Mr Rugut as NYS direc-
tor.
They appealed to
President Kenyatta to
reinstate Mr Rugut, a
former long-serving pro-
vincial commissioner in
the Kibaki regime.
They questioned why
the Jubilee government
should remove top civil
servants from their posi-
tions through a mobile
phone text message even
when such officers have
not been implicated in
corruption.
Mr Rugut was sent
packing by Ms Waiguru
last weekend .
The leaders
who talked to
journalists on
the matter
included MPs
Julius Melly
(Tinderet) and
Al f r e d
K e t e r

prosecutor Fatou Bensouda wants
compelled to testify.
Mr Ruto is on trial for his role in the
2007 post-election violence in which
1,133 Kenyans were killed and nearly
600,000 displaced.
I regret to inform the Chamber,
parties and participants that, follow-
ing the witness preparation session
with witness P-0025 held on 14 May,
the prosecution has decided to with-
draw him as a prosecution witness,
said an e-mail sent on May 14 from
senior trial lawyer Anton Steynberg
announcing the prosecutions deci-
sion.
Mr Steynberg said that during
the customary witness preparations
before one takes the stand to begin
testimony, the prosecution discovered
that witness P-0025 was unable to ac-
curately recall, or give a coherent and
consistent account of critical parts
of the evidence the prosecution had
intended to lead from this witness.
In the circumstances, the pros-
ecution does not consider that the
witness evidence is suciently rele-
vant or reliable to call as a prosecution
witness, particularly bearing in mind
the limited court time available to the
prosecution and the consequent need
to present the most cogent and reli-
able evidence.
The prosecution of course has no
objection if the defence wishes to
consult with the witness with a view
to calling him during the Defence
case (subject to the provisions of
the Protocol).
I apologise to the Chamber and par-
ties for the inconvenience occasioned
by the late withdrawal of this witness,
Mr Steynberg said in the e-mail.
During the oral application yester-
day, Mr Steynberg also informed the
court of the prosecutions application
to have the current session deferred
until the rst week of June when the
next witness 405 will be available.
Mr Ruto was denied the chance to
leave The Hague yesterday until at
least today.
According to the judges, the cham-
ber will decide on whether Mr Ruto
can be allowed to go back home after
the chamber reconvenes today.
The session is likely to be brief as
the chamber will only be getting ap-
praisal on what the defence obtained
from the video of the witness prepara-
tion session.
Witness preparation
Presiding judge Chile Eboe Osuji
who read the unanimous ruling of the
chamber directed that the prosecution
immediately discloses the video of the
witness preparation to the defence.
Request for other information
regarding the expenses or benets
conferred on the witness were how-
ever rendered moot as the prosecution
said they had been disclosed.
Mr Rutos defence lawyer Karim
Khan had requested the chamber to
allow his client to return to his state
functions.
But the judges said that the video
of the witness preparation was sig-
nicant and required the accuseds
presence in court.
Mr Khan said the withdrawal
was proof that the prosecutions
case against his client has a rotten
under-belly.
He said the witness was referred
to at least 25 times in the pre-trial
ruling and 17 times in the prosecu-
tions pre-trial brief to demonstrate
his signicance to the case. P-0025 is
understood to have told the prosecu-
tion that he was present during the
planning meetings of the post-election
chaos at Mr Rutos Sugoi home.
Foreign embassies
According to Mr Khan, the credibil-
ity of the witness, whom he described
as a master chef has been in ques-
tion because he was purportedly a
conduit for prosecution to obtain
ve other witnesses.
Mr Khan further alleged that the
witness had been procured by among
others USAID and other foreign em-
bassies that he did not disclose.
Witnesses are duping the OTP.
Witnesses have come through hands
of individuals especially this one P-
0025, said Mr Khan.
As such it is premature to grant
the prosecution leave to withdraw
this witness, said Mr Khan.
Former radio journalist Joshua arap
Sangs defence team agreed with the
prosecution to drop the witness on the
assurance that he will not be brought
back again in the course of the trial,
an assurance Mr Steynberg gave.

Witness P-0025 was very im-

He is said to have been in the

Eldoret area was planned.
His evidence was referred to 25
times in the pre-trial ruling and
17 times in the prosecutions

nicance.

P
resident Kenyatta has
authorised the National
Treasury to pay Sh1.4
billion to two Anglo Leasing-
type rms that had judgements
against Kenya.
State House announced late last
evening that Mr Kenyatta had also
ordered fresh investigations into
the cases around the suspect se-
curity and information contracts
which State House described as
a thorn in the esh of the Kenyan
nation.
Government has today, there-
fore, authorised the Cabinet
Secretary, National Treasury, to
pay the judgement debts with
immediate eect, State House
Spokesman Manoah Esipisu
said.
The news had rst been bro-
ken to members of the Budget
and Appropriations Committee
of the National Assembly, which
had visited State House to get the
Presidents views on the Budget
for the next nancial year.
The committees members had,
in April, prepared a report with
their Finance counterparts asking
the National Assembly to approve
payment of the debt to First Mer-
cantile Securities Corporation and
Universal Satspace.
But this backred after Jubilee
Coalition MPs rejected the idea
and vowed to throw the report
out. They joined their Cord
counterparts who had taken a
similar stand.
He told us he gave instruc-
tions this (Thursday) morning,
said Isaac Mwaura (nominated,
ODM). But he has given very
good reasons and I bought his
idea. He means well.
Mr Esipisu said that when Mr
Kenyatta was chairman of the
Public Accounts Committee as
opposition leader, he investigated
the matter and he agrees with the
views of a majority of the Kenyan
people on this. Thats why it has
taken long to make a decision on
the current situation.
But the President, he said, has
had to make a painful decision
on what is the greater evil: either
the money or put the countrys
economy at risk.
By making this payment, the
President is not legitimising what
he and many Kenyans believe to
have been a series of fraudulent
transactions, the statement
said.
Therefore, the President has
ordered fresh investigations into
the cases.
He said investigations would be
left to the Ethics and Anti-Corrup-
tion Commission, but Parliament
also ought to play a role.
It is now up to these respon-
sible agencies to ensure that
Kenyans get restitution. Our in-
stitutions failed Kenya in these
cases previously. Kenyans would
not welcome further failure in
the context of these cases, Mr
Esipisu said.
The State House statement said
the government decided to set-
tle the debt because of the rising
interest rates, to protect Kenyas
reputation as a country that meets
its contractual obligations, to pro-
tect Kenyas assets abroad and
maintain the countrys current
credit rating.
Top on its reasons was that the
two rms have applied to interna-
tional courts seeking to enforce
the judgement and attach Kenyas
assets abroad.
Also, Mr Esipisu said, all legal
avenues to challenge the case had
been exhausted.
The Attorney-General as well
as an independent international
legal rm, Dentons of UK, has ad-
vised that there is no legal avenue
left for the government apart from
settling the payments, he said.
The National Treasury had told
MPs that Kenya needs to issue
its rst international sovereign
bond to shore up the Budget for
the coming nancial year.
This cannot happen unless all
obligations related to the court
awards are paid.
The claimants have threatened
to have international courts at-
tach the bond proceeds until the
judgement debts are settled, Mr
Esipisu said.
With the issuance of the bond
caught up in these issues, the
Treasury said, the implementation
of the Budget would be at risk.
It is estimated that the annual
costs of non-settlement would
be Sh21 billion, being the cost of
higher interest rates on domestic
borrowing both for the public and
private sectors. Therefore, given
that the cost of paying the judge-
ment debts is Sh1.4 billion, this
means that the benets of set-
tling them outweigh the costs of
non-payment by 15 times, said
Mr Esipisu.
This means that Parliament will
to be asked to make their approval
when the National Assembly
resumes sittings on June 3.

T
he new media laws were
defended yesterday and the
government now wants a peti-
tion led by media houses challenging
them dismissed.
Information Principal Secretary
Joseph ole Musuni said the laws
were not oppressive to journalists
and media houses.
The only rights that cannot be
curtailed are freedom from torture,
inhuman treatment, freedom from
slavery, freedom of expression and
the right to a fair trial. The govern-
ment has not interfered with any of
those rights but only passed laws to
regulate the media industry, said Mr
Musuni.
He noted that media practition-
ers challenge of the laws was in bad
faith since the petition attempts to
stop Information Cabinet Secretary
Fred Matiangi from exercising his
powers.
The petitions seek a judgement to
condemn the new laws even before
they are put to actual test. The laws
are only intended to balance compet-
ing public good within a democracy
and make media accountable for their
actions, he said. The PS further de-
fended the appointment of members
to the Media Council of Kenya and
the Communication and Multimedia
Appeals Tribunal, saying that they will
be made by the President and the
Cabinet Secretary does not mean it
will be government controlled.
Media practitioners challenged the
Kenya Information and Communica-
tion Act and the Media Council Act
which authorise hefty nes on jour-
nalists and media houses which they
say are unconstitutional.
They stoppd Mr Matinagi (left)
from making any changes to the
composition of the Media Council
of Kenya until the petitions are de-
termined.
At the same time, Mr Justice Isaac
Lenaola allowed Consumers Federa-
tion of Kenya and the Information,

K
enya has accused the US
and three other countries
of unfriendly acts after
they issued travel warnings in re-
sponse to recent terrorist attacks
in Mombasa and Nairobi.
Foreign Aairs Principal Sec-
retary Karanja Kibicho said in
a statement yesterday that the
advisories by the US, the UK,
Australia and France were un-
necessary as the four countries
had equally borne the brunt of
global terrorism.
The challenges arising from
acts of terrorism require con-
certed efforts to fight it and
not behaving in a manner that
accelerates it by causing fear
and panic, he said. Issuance
of such advisories only plays to
the whims of bad elements in
society whose aim is to spread
fear and panic.
On Monday, Australia updated
its travel advice and urged its
citizens to reconsider their need
to travel to both Mombasa and
Nairobi in the wake of recent ter-
rorist attacks in the two cities.
France also issued an advisory
the same day.
And on Wednesday, the British
Government warned its citizens
against travelling to Mombasa,
Eastleigh in Nairobi and areas
within 60 kilometres of the
Kenya-Somalia border unless
such travel was essential and
unavoidable.
Britain also urged its citizens
to take comprehensive medical
covers before visiting Kenya. It
also asked them to keep abreast
with local news and to remain
vigilant at all times and avoid
areas with large crowds.
Frances advisory specifi-
cally urged extra vigilance
to those planning to stay at a
particular beach hotel south of
Mombasa.
Yesterday, the British Govern-
ment said it had no choice but to
recommend that all UK citizens
living in or on holiday around
Mombasa to move out as soon as
possible because of its concerns
over terrorism.
Despite predictions that
the new travel ban could hurt
Kenyas tourism industry due
to knock-on eects for tourists
from other countries, the British
Foreign Oce said that it did not
take the move lightly and that
the decision had been made at
the ministerial level.
We are aware of the concerns
this will cause in Kenya. But
the safety of British nationals
is our priority and this deci-
sion was very carefully thought
through.
The areas affected by the
new warnings are Mombasa
and a three-mile-wide coastal
strip within which are numer-
ous resorts popular with British
tourists, especially package holi-
daymakers.
The British Foreign Office
estimated that around 5,500
Britons currently in the area
would be aected.
A spokesman said that the
warning had been intelligence-
led but would not say if they
were aware of a specic terror-
ism threat.
Despite the advisories, Kenya
has reiterated its cordial rela-
tions with the four nations and
maintained that it will continue
to cooperate with them in various
areas including the ght against
terrorism.

The African Union has joined other

conicts in the continent.
AUs head of defence and security
division Tarek Sharif yesterday said
a team was working on plans aimed
at denying unauthorised individuals
and groups access to arms, and also
to disarm those who have them. This
will also frustrate warlords, pirates
and gangs from easily acquiring
weapons, Mr Sharif said.
He urged African countries which
have not signed and ratied the Arms
Trade Treaty to do so. The treaty is a
global device that regulates the inter-
national trade on conventional arms
to foster peace and stability.
Mr Sharif was addressing a meet-
ing of the African Unions steering

The executive secretary for the

The porous borders between coun-

A
n Australian warship
seized heroin with an
estimated street value
of Sh10.7 billion (US$123 mil-
lion) o the coast of Somalia,
the countrys defence depart-
ment said yesterday.
The 449 kilogramme haul,
found in a dhow is the second
to be intercepted following
another Sh23.2 billion seized
and destroyed by Australian
Navy off the Kenyan coast
recently.
The latest heroin haul was
intercepted by HMAS Darwin
while patrolling the Indian
Ocean some 40 nautical miles
o Somalias east coast.
The ships commander
Terry Morrison said the sei-
zure removed a major source
of funding for terrorist and
criminal networks which in-
cluded Al-Qaeda, the Taliban
and Al-Shabaab.
The drugs were hidden in 20
bags, each weighing between
20 to 25 kilogrammes each.
HMAS Darwin is part of
Combined Maritime Forces
(CMF) - a naval partnership
involving 30 nations that pa-
trols 2.5 million square miles
of international waters.
The Australian ship enforces
maritime security with a
focus on terrorist activity in
the Middle East and Indian
Ocean regions as part of the
British-led Combined Task
Force (CTF) 150, which op-
erates under the CMF.
The bust, which is the
CMFs seventh significant
seizure this year, came three
weeks after the Australian and
British navies jointly found
1,032 kilogrammes of heroin
in another dhow o the Ken-
yan coast.
Security agencies suspect
a Pakistani link in the Sh23.2
billion heroin seized and de-
stroyed by Australian Navy o
the Kenyan coast recently.
According to the Times of
India, the Gujarat-registered
dhow Lakshmi Narayan could
have been linked to the inter-
cepted 1,032 kilogramme of
heroin found hidden among
cement bags.
The dhow docked at Mom-
basa port several days after the
seizure and destruction of the
Sh23.2 billion heroin haul.
Ocials at the Mombasa
port who talked to the Nation
on condition that they are not
named said the vessel called
the search and rescue centre
saying it was in distress as
water was getting in.
Crew ed
After they called saying
they wanted to call at the
Mombasa port, they were
given permission to dock at
Kilindini but they instead
docked at the Old Port, the
ocial said.
He said it was surprising
that immediately the dhow
docked, its crew vanished.
Under normal circum-
stances, the crew should
have waited for the dhow to
be repaired if indeed it was
letting in water and then sail
away. Inspector-General of
Police David Kimaiyo insisted
that they had not established
if the vessel was linked to the
heroin haul.

Halt police houses scam
P
olice ocers live in appalling housing around
the country. The majority are crammed into
single-room hovels often shared by two
families even at police stations in Nairobi.
It is a dehumanising existence for the ocers the
country relies on to maintain law and order and
protect citizens lives and property.
In the rural areas, some police posts have
makeshift dwellings, including the little round tin
shacks dating back to the colonial times.
However, the government has over the years tried
to improve the living conditions of the ocers by
investing in the construction of better housing.
It is, therefore, shocking to hear that some of the
ocers allocated the decent houses put up recently,
are illegally renting them out and pocketing the
cash, in a scam involving millions of shillings.
From the shame of squalor in sub-standard
dwellings, the ocers have been engulfed in the
shame of greed.
The authorities must ensure that only the people
to whom these houses were allocated occupy them.
Unless there is complicity, this should be easy.
Those who have been reaping where they have
not sown must be identied and punished for this
unbelievable impunity.

I
do not condemn the 80
Kenyans who died after
drinking poison drinks
last week.
The abuse of alcohol is
something we Kenyans
habitually do. And we dont
go out of our way to look for
expensive drinks; we seek
to have fun cost-eectively.
Which explains why I have
given up Camus.
Those of us who are a bit
adventurous have engaged
in a little naughtiness, to
relax, have some fun and
play mind games with the
chief, the headman, the local
AP and the law in general.
In other words we have
drunk illicit, lethal brews.
Some call it eating re;
others call it lifting the
granary, yet others call it
washing the kathavuria.
But what started out as a bit
of fun has become a deadly
and ugly addiction.
I rst took an illegal brew
in a garden somewhere in
the depths of Mbeere as
a Form Four boy. It was
an awful gruel, I think
called kimere, which lled
the stomach but did not
inebriate. I took one tin and
never tried it again.
As I grew older, I took
honey beer, which tastes
wonderful, but is the most
likely drink to knock you
out because of incomplete
fermentation, which appears
to go on in the stomach.
Long after you have nished
drinking, you get drunker
and drunker.
At university, I took a
small glass of changaa
mixed with Ribena. The
eect was immediate. It
exploded out in a purple
mist, my knees went soft,
the mouth dry, the tongue
swollen, eyes barely open
and I crawled back to my
room on all fours.
Then came the miti
ni dawa sensation, a
concoction of yeast, sugar,
honey and all manner of
things. I think my room-
mate, a fat little fellow
nicknamed Gaatia, did
make a drum of this awful
drink which rendered
many comradesShairi,
Saura, CL, Ndekeand a
succession of other fools,
incoherent for extended
periods.
After the brewing debacle,
we discovered a simpler
approach. Students with a
little money were always
welcome in the ocers
mess at a nearby barracks if
they drank a lot, paid for the
soldiers drinks and behaved
nicely. When Kenyan
university students sit down
with soldiers on a Saturday
to abuse tax-free Tusker,
enough is put away to oat,
not one aircraft carrier, but
an entire battle-group.
This is recreational
(over)drinking. I was
amazed to hear that the
drunks in Embu get up at
5am to start drinking.
Now that I am (almost) a
teetotaller, I always take the
side of drunks and explain
how easy it is to spend the
night in a bar. You sit with
a group of 10 clever, funny,
story-telling friends at the
warm corner of a friendly,
clean bar, where the sta
are friends (they take
your wifes and childrens
calls when your phone is
charging at the counter),
there is good food and even
better music and before
you realise it, even before
you get properly smacked,
its morning and you are
ghting to get home before
the trac builds up.
However, getting up at
5am to start eating mwaki
(re), thats strange. Those
are the wackiest depths of
addiction. Yes, I understand
why people drink, but
maybe it is time to quit.

Mr Cheung Wai is a hardy
little Chinese fellow. He has
lived buried in a collapsed
mine for 17 years. What did
he breathe and what did he
eat since 1997?
Well, there is a ventilation
duct that did not collapse
in the earthquake that
devastated his mine. As
for food, the mine had the
foresight to stockpile rice
and water in preparation
for exactly this kind
of situation. The Internet
story I read also said he ate
phosphorescent moss.
I respect the Chinese.
They are a calm, ingenious,
disciplined race. And they
eat absolutely everything.
They have aquarium
restaurants where you
pick any sea creature that
catches your fancy. It is
removed, killed and cooked
for you. And if you have
been to a proper Chinese
restaurant, you have had the
experience of a deep fried
chicken calmly staring at
you with wide, cooked eyes.
They are a delicacy.
When I was travelling in
China last year, a friend
joked: Watch out; if there
is no other meat, they will
eat you. When you have a
billion-and-half people to
feed, you cant have fussy
eaters.
I would not have been
surprised if Mr Wai had
eaten soil to survive. Buried
with him were 78 other
miners. I read that Mr Wai
gave each and every one of
them a decent burial down
there in the collapsed mine.
It, allegedly, took a year.

New commissioners
issue quite confusing
T
he appointment of county commissioners to
take charge of the functions of the National
Government at the grassroots is bound to
create friction because it strikes at the heart of
devolution, the centrepiece of the Constitution.
Already, the ODM and the Council of Governors
have come out contesting the appointments,
arguing it is bound to derail devolution and
undermine service delivery at the grassroots.
In making the announcements, President
Kenyatta cited section 132 (3) b that denes the
role of the presidency in directing and coordinating
government departments and ministries.
In this context, the county commissioners are
given delegated powers to carry out those functions
on behalf of the President at the grassroots.
However, this raises fundamental constitutional
issues that need to be resolved. Chapter 11 that
deals with devolution bestows the powers of
managing county aairs on elected leaders.
A running theme is self-determination,
decentralisation and dispersal of power. Directing
and coordinating functions of the National
Governments was never envisaged by the
Constitution.
The framers of the Constitution decreed that
the Provincial Administration be structured within
ve years to respect the principle of devolution.
Clearly, this restructuring as envisaged in the Sixth
Schedule was not meant to create structures that
fall at odds with the principle of devolution.
Creating the new positions of county
commanders may make administrative sense, but it
brings to the question the principle of separation of
powers and respect for the Constitution.
It will not be surprising if the matter ends up
in court for constitutional interpretation besides
triggering a erce political contestation.

S
everal educationists in this country
have left a deep imprint on the
nation by dint of the institutions
they founded and the lives they have
shaped. This super league of transformers
includes giants such as Mr E. Carey
Francis, Mr Stephen J. Kioni and Mr John
Katumanga both of the Kenya National
Union of Teachers, Mr Fred K. Kago the
linguist, and Mother Teresa Joseph, the
founder of Loreto High School, Limuru.
The list would be incomplete without
Dr Georey Grin, Mr Georey Geturo
and Mr Joseph Gikubu. In 1959 this trio
founded Starehe Boys Centre in the last
days of the Mau Mau liberation struggle.
Mr Gikubu, who was buried yesterday,
was a truly remarkable person. As a
teenager and armed only with a primary
school education, he supported the Mau
Mau war by running errands between the
liberation ghters on the southern edge
of the Nyandarua-Kereita forest and Mau
Mau supporters in the general population.
Fearing apprehension when information
of his secret mission leaked to the home-
guards, he ed to Tanganyika. Upon
returning to Kenya, he was captured and
locked up in Manyani Prison and later
sent to Wamumu Rehabilitation Camp.
It was in Wamumu that he met Mr
Grin and Mr Geturo, and the idea of
Starehe was mooted.
Mr Gikubu belonged to a category of
freedom ghters that had a passion for
education as a force of transformation
in peoples lives. He is remarkable for
several reasons. He rose from an obscure
existence in Kiambaa, Kiambu County,
with little formal education, to co-found a
unique, national institution that became
both a home and a school.
Starehe Boys Centre and School is
an institution that has achieved global
renown and fame. The three founder-
directors themselves became institutions.
Immense courage
Mr Gikubu had striking personal
attributes. A man of immense courage
and conviction, he believed that he was
capable of making a dierence in life.
He did not allow handicaps, be they
of language or material resources, to
discourage him. He never felt threatened
by other peoples abilities, or endowments
or higher education.
For the last 12 years, I had the
fortune of working with him in the Juja
community, Kiambu County, where he
has a rural home. Even as he served
as a director of Starehe, Mr Gikubu
participated vigorously in community,
education and church activities in Juja.
He always acted locally, even as he
thought nationally. One of his concerns
was that young people be given the
opportunity and be challenged to engage
in physical training and athletics.
Mr Gikubu was convinced that one
of the principal reasons our society is
experiencing drug abuse and alcoholism
is negligence of sport and healthy
recreation. Sport and athletics need re-
thinking in our education curricula.
He knew what he was talking about.
As narrated in Mr Roger Martins book,
Anthem of Bugles: The Story of Starehe
Boys Centre and School, Mr Gikubu and
Mr Geturo were pivotal in developing the
institutions physical training programme
to national and international acclaim.
For as long as he lived, the struggle
to improve the human condition never
ended, right from his freedom ghter days
to the founding and running of Starehe. In
a very true sense, the struggle has always
continued, but driven by strict discipline.

A
nimals have played
a critical role in
the development of
medicines and treatments
signicant to human health.
With animals, it has been
possible to explain the
biological basis of many
human diseases and behaviour.
Alcohol dependency is
no exception. About 10
years ago, scientists at the
National Institute of Health
in Washington D.C., USA,
decided to nd out exactly
what happens in the brain of
those dependent on alcohol.
They wanted to know what
made people so desperate as
to drink even when they knew
they were harming themselves
and others.
They started their studies
using rats, putting a rat in one
compartment and in another,
alcohol. The compartments
were separated by an electric
fence.
Initially, the rat was allowed
access to the alcohol in graded
amounts. In the early stages,
it appeared ambivalent about
the alcohol, but with time, it
consumed more and more of
the alcohol.
At this point, an electric
current was switched on
to pass through the fence,
initially at low voltage, with
gradual increases. At rst, the
rat would still cross the wire to
access the alcohol.
As it was exposed to more
alcohol and became more
dependent, it continued to
struggle to cross the wire,
even when the voltage was
increased. Soon, it seemed
as if the rat would rather get
the worst of shocks, sending
it into ts and convulsions,
than not access alcohol. This
experiment was repeated with
many rats, and the scientists
found some variations in
dierent rats. Some gave up
any attempts to cross the
fence when the voltage was
still low while others opted
to die trying. The brains of
these dierent rats were then
analysed.
It was discovered that when
the rats took alcohol, there
was a secretion in the part
of the brain called the limbic
system of the substance,
serotonin. The attachment of
serotonin to other anatomical
structures called Serotonin
Receptors is what gave the
feeling of pleasure on alcohol
intake.
This process is similar in the
human brain. Under normal
experiences of pleasure, these
processes operate within
normal limits. However, if
there is consistent production
of serotonin, the receptors get
used to it. They then crave for
sustained release.
Depending on the degree
of this demand, that part
of the brain concerned with
rational thinking (located in
the front part of the brain) is
completely side-lined, by the
more primitive limbic system
located in the lower parts of
the brain, which we share with
animals.
One part of the brain takes
full control making demands
the rational part cannot
contain. At this point, self-will
is also side-lined.
The same type of
experiment was repeated in
human beings. Of course,
there was no electric fence. As
would be expected, in some
people, all these risks were
trashed. But as in the case of
the rats, there were degrees
in personalised judgments to
consume or not to consume
alcohol in the rst place or up
to a certain point.
It was this experiment
that gave credence to alcohol
dependency as a disease of
the brain. Despite the harmful
consequences of alcohol, some
people who suer from this
craving are actually sick and
not simply irresponsible.
This understanding has
completely revolutionised
our approach to alcohol
dependency and other forms
of addiction as we nd in
the use of drugs, gambling,
pornography, Internet use, etc.
Although there is a place
for non-biological treatment
of alcohol dependency, in
some cases, only treatments
based on the above principles
produce good resultsnding
alternatives to block the
serotonin receptors so that
they relinquish dominating
control over those parts of our
brain that reason.
In Kenyas case, the
Alcoblow (a parallel to the
electric fence) plays a vital role
as it will deter some. But there
are others for whom it is no
deterrent.
Based on this, if we believe
that anybody with malaria
deserves treatment without
asking them why they did not
take precautions if they were
travelling to a malaria-prone
area, then the same reasoning
should be applied to those
who are dependent on alcohol
to the extent that they cannot
extricate themselves.
These experiments just
provided the theoretical
background to which further
questions arise.
What, for instance, are the
practical implications for
prevention and treatment of
alcoholism? How do genes and
dierential time-frames for the
development of the judgement
and pleasure centres of the
brain aect the chances of
initial use of alcohol and
potential dependency and how
are these centres aected by
the environment?

at the University of Nairobi and

Mental Health Foundation.
What do animals tell us about human
addiction to alcohol and other drugs?

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
DRINKERS IDLE. With 100 people having died
after consuming illicit drinks, James Githinji wont
buy the suggestion that some Kenyans must be
enabled to drink cheaper and safer alcohol, when
some of the victims and others have been indulging
in the menace from as early as 5am. This is about
idleness and prisons have dealt well with this. Some
of the programmes that equip inmates with skills in
carpentry, music and athletics should be extended to
those outside as a means of curbing drunkenness. His

REMOVE THIS MENACE. Two street boys have
become a nuisance on Jalaram Road between Ring
Road Westlands and First Parklands Avenue, near
Nakumatt Ukay supermarket in Nairobi, moans Anil K.
Shah. The youths often ll up potholes with soil and
plant their own ags before they start begging for
money from motorists. They often stand at a junction
hampering the trac ow and risk causing accidents.
They should be removed to clear the menace, he
pleads. His contact is anilkshah@me.com.
THREAT RIDICULOUS. Mombasa Governor
Hassan Johos bid to take over the port and other
assets belonging to the National Government is
misguided, says Ken Butiko. According to him, this is
a threat to national unity as the port was built with
taxpayers money levied across the country, as were
the roads and railway line leading out of the facility,
without which it would be useless. At this rate, the
counties supplying water to Nairobi will also claim the
dams in their areas.
STATEMENT RECKLESS. Governor Johos threat
to forcibly take over the running of Mombasa Port
and ferry services in his county is rather reckless and
should not be condoned, says James Maina. What if
all the other counties also demand to be allowed to run
national facilities and control the resources within their
areas? Wouldnt Kenya disintegrate as a country? The
governor ought to think straight about these issues, as
he is clearly misguided, adds James, whose contact is
jammashjr@gmail.com.
THE BITTER OPTION. All is not rosy at East
Africas most protable company, Safaricom, which
is basking in the glory of the Sh23 billion prot made
last year, as it is not always easy for subscribers to
access services. On May 12, Charles Nyakaru visited
the companys Nakuru oce intending to change
from one tari to another. Although the process took
less than 10 minutes, I had been on the queue for two
hours. This can only be the bitter option, remarks
Charles, whose contact is charles.nyakaru@gmail.com.
PETITIONS A MESS. The handling of election
petitions, which now begins in the High Court and
continues to the Court of Appeal before being
concluded at the Supreme Court, has made the
process cumbersome and time-wasting for the
subjects of the petitions, and, of course, the voters,
who are denied the fully dedicated leadership they
deserve during the long litigation, says Dave Tumbula.
What was meant to be a solution in the search for
justice has now become a problem, he moans.
Have a democratic day, wont you!

K
enya is a drinking nation
and that is not going to
change soon.
Nacada chairman John Mututho
is getting it all wrong. What he has
failed to understand since he came
up with his Mututho Law, is that he
cant stop Kenyans from drinking;
they are going to drink day in, day
out and night in, night out.
He has the duty not to punish
Kenyans for the culture that was
inherited from our forefathers.
However, Nacada can come up
with a policy that will control al-
cohol consumption. It also has the
mandate to research on, and come
up with regulations that will favour
both the mwananchi and the gov-
ernment and still curb illicit brew.
It appears that Mr Mututho has
substituted this with his personal
interest of making sure he has
stopped Kenyans from enjoying
anything with alcoholic contents.
This has failed miserably, and thats
why hundreds of people are dying.
Enemies of citizens
I am not encouraging people
to drink, but if they drink, what
should we do? Taxes have always
remained the enemies of citizens
and it will always be. But imposing
VAT on some brews like keg has
made the once aordable drink
expensive and beyond reach.
The rich drink while making
deals, and this makes their drink-
ing behaviour an investment; the
more expensive the liquor they sip,
the sweeter the deal.
The middle class, on the other
hand, drink to socialise and show
o their latest cars. They try to t
in the high class circle and because
of economic hardships, they usu-
ally do this only once or twice in
a month.
Lastly, the lower class drinks be-
cause they must drink. This group
drinks every day, and the majority
of them are addicts, which means
they cant do anything before they
drink. They can buy anything to
quench their alcohol thirst.
Drinking to the poor makes
one sober and vice versa, so Mr
Mututho should know that these
people must drink and they will not
wait until 5pm; they will drink rst
thing in the morning and at any
other time of the day.
Mr Mututhos regulations must
cut across all three groups. He can
achieve this through working with
area chiefs and assistant chiefs, and
register local brews like changaa,
busaa or muratina clubs.
These clubs should be under lo-
cal authorities and Nacada ocers
can then ensure high standards of
production. This will discourage
drinking while hidden in dirty,
dingy hovels or bushes or dug in
holes. People will drink clean and
aordable brews, while the govern-
ment will gain from taxes.
Drinking hours should not mat-
ter much a safety is what should be
paramount.

Emails from correspondents
Do away with shaded vehicle windows; theyre a threat to security
The letters page of yesterdays Nation was awash
with debate of readers showing strong opposition to
impounding vehicles with tinted glasses, as directed
by Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo.
But lets face the facts. Tinted windows are a big
threat to security, especially with the frequent ter-
rorist attacks. It simplies the work of terrorists and
makes the work of security organs dicult.
Im tempted to think that if this law were imple-
mented to the letter, then a number of the recent
attacks, including that of Westgate, could have been
thwarted. Again, during investigations, a simple eye-
witness detail such as I saw three men in the car and
one was wearing a green jacket can go a long way in
dealing with criminals and their networks.
The problem of low ratio of police to population
is here to stay. It makes no sense installing cameras
along the streets yet criminals have free time doing
their patrols while concealed in tinted cars.
In the face of terrorist threats, certain privileges
must be forgone. Arguments about personal freedoms
and liberties cannot sell in the face of terrorism.
At this rate, even all those body searches will be
declared illegal, since we cant tell the sexual orienta-
tion of those who search us, even as they belong to
our gender; they could be enjoying every moment
of the search!
SILAS NYAMBOK, Athi River
The establishment of the Kenya
Universities and Colleges Central
Placement Service (KUCCPS) to
oversee universities and tertiary in-
stitutions admissions is timely.
But as we regulate the entry
grades, we should spare a thought
for their progression. Candidates
with diploma and certicate quali-
cations should enjoy credit waivers.
The situation where some univer-
sities refuse to grant credit transfers
to students with other qualications
and working experience is unfair.
Through such waivers, learning is
enriched since the older and expe-
rienced students bring their previ-
ous expertise and knowledge in the
learning process. KUCCPS should
also take up the progression system.
BERNARD AMAYA, Nairobi
Lets have a unit waiver
standard for universities
I feel compelled to write this after
President Kenyatta swore that this
government would improve services.
I fully support the President, but
urge him to note: ministry account-
ants are responsible for the annual
theft of Sh300 billion, while KRA is
responsible for low tax compliance
at only 30 per cent, denying his gov-
ernment Sh2 trillion annually.
He should also note that police
know all criminals because they
depend on them to supplement low
pay. Stop the symbiotic relationship
by pushing for life imprisonment
On development, he should push
for a law so that national and county
budgets work toward 50-50 on recur-
rent expenditure and development.

What President can do
to grow the economy
Since the General Election of
March 4, courts have nullied sev-
eral elections. As someone who
believes in due process, I will let the
rule of law take its own course.
But the ndings of the courts are
troubling. In all the cases, the courts
held that elections were marred
by irregularities, and that some of
them did not meet the constitutional
threshold of a free and fair election.
While counting was under way, the
electronic voting machine collapsed.
In some counties, voters were turned
away. It is fair to say the 2013 elec-
tion was fundamentally awed.
I propose that we invest in time-
tested electronic voting kits, conduct
continuous voter education, and re-
constitute the IEBC.
JARED OLUOCH, Nairobi

VOTER SAY: The views expressed
by CIC chairman Charles Nyachae
that the law regarding impeachment
of governors needs reviewing is
timely and should be supported. It
is true that the law is susceptible to
misuse by malicious individuals. A
number of Members of the County
Assembly are taking advantage of
this loophole to settle scores with
governors, who do not satisfy their
selsh whims. The public, who voted
in those governors, ought to have a
say in their removal from oce.
PHILIP MBINDYO, Ukwala
PORT POLITICS: It was appalling
to hear the Governor of Mombasa
claim that the port should belong
to Mombasa County. In my view
he lacks wisdom to dierentiate
between national and county re-
sources. Every Kenyan who imports
or exports bulky goods uses the port;
there is no way it can belong to one
county. The governor should instead
be grateful such a facility is located
in his county because due to its loca-
tion the county receives complemen-
tary benets. Mombasa can build its
own port if it wants.
MICHAEL K.M., Nairobi
LET PEOPLE DECIDE: MCAs
powers to impeach a duly elected
governor should be clipped. Removal
should be done by the people and
be approved by MCAs. The cur-
rent trend of impeaching governors
left, right and centre is not good for
development and devolution, as it
will lead to blackmail and compro-
mises. The Constitution should be
amended to allow full participation
of voters in the process of removal of
an elected leader.

ORIGI RIGHT: The decision by
Divock Origi, 19, to represent Bel-
gium at the forthcoming FIFA World
Cup in Brazil is, although painful
to many Kenyan soccer fans, the
pragmatic thing to do. Some pundits
will protest and call Origi names
and term his decision a betrayal, but
considering Origis future career,
hes on the right side of history. Our
soccer structures, administration
and management are chaotic and as
a result, the future of our football is
not bright. Will Kenya ever qualify
and play at the World Cup nals? We
have abundant talent but our soccer
chiefs and sub-chiefs are our single
greatest threat. Where would Origi
be with our inept soccer ocials?

A
dispute over the own-
ership of Sh7 billion
Naivas Supermarket
will first be settled before
the founders estate is dis-
tributed.
Judge Anyara Emukule gave
the directive after Mr Newton
Kagiri accused his kinsfolk,
among them Naivas chairman
Simon Gachwe, of planning to
disinherit him.
He claims that his brother
and two sisters have excluded
him from discussions on the
planned sale of the rm.
Mr Kagiri, who is repre-
senting himself, said Naivas
shares were part of his fathers
estate despite claims by Mr
Gachwe that it is a private
company owned by family
members and did not include
him (Kagiri).
Yesterday, Justice Emukule
criticised the feuding family
members, saying, the dispute
had made a South African
investor, MassMart, pull
out, thereby denying thou-
sands of Kenyans jobs as
the planned expansion drive
was shelved.
He said ownership of
Naivas shares must rst be
dealt with as it raises com-
plex matters regarding the
estate of its founder chairman
Peter Mukuha Kago, who died
at his Naivasha home on May
6, 2010 aged 93 years.
Yesterday, Mr Gachwe
maintained that Naivas was
not a family business as
claimed by the objector, but
a limited liability company
with shareholders who make
decisions on its behalf.
Papers led show that Mr
Gachwe owns 12,500 shares
amounting to a 25 per cent
stake, his brother David
Kimani (25 per cent), their
father (20 per cent), Grace
Wambui (15 per cent) and
Linet Wairimu (15 per cent).
It is this part of the will
that Mr Kagiri disagrees with,
saying, his brother illegally
registered a new company
and listed new directors.
He told the judge that the
supermarket was part and
parcel of his fathers estate
and that he ought to have
a share of it as he had con-
tributed generously when it
was formed on December
25, 1989, during a family
meeting.
Justice Emukule said that
Mr Gachwe would be the rst
to take the witness stand.
The judge also ordered
the Registrar of Companies
to attend court and produce
original documents on the
ownership of the multi-bil-
lion company.

A call has been made to speed up
the power purchase plan and stop
wastage of steam at the Menengai
Crater geothermal wells.
Geothermal Development Com-
pany chairman Simon Gicharu said
the wells capable of producing
close to 100 megawatts should
be converted into power and
transmitted to the national elec-
tricity grid.
Speaking during a tour of GDC
oces in Nakuru and the Menen-
gai site, Mr Gicharu said it was
unfortunate that the steam was
being wastefully spewed into the
air, and yet billions of taxpayers
money has been invested in the
project.
National grid
Our role as GDC is to produce
steam, while the relevant depart-
ments are supposed to convert it
into power and inject it into the
national grid for consumption,
he said.
At the same time, he gave GDC
management in Central Rift a six
-month ultimatum to either sell or
forfeit 33 lorries that are lying idle
at Menengai.
He said the hauliers valued at
Sh400 million were lying idle at
the yard while the government
was spending millions to move
drilling rigs.

P
resident Kenyatta will tomor-
row tour Bungoma County,
considered a Cord and Amani
stronghold, for the rst time since
he was elected.
The President is scheduled to at-
tend the homecoming of Bungoma
Governor Kenneth Lusaka at Mapera
Primary School. Sources said the
President will commission various
development projects in a region
that overwhelmingly voted for Cord
leader Raila Odinga and his Amani
Coalition rival Musalia Mudavadi in
the last elections.
Sources say the President will use
the occasion to reach out to western
region voters, who are seen to be
angling towards Cord.
Leaders in the region who sup-
ported the President after the
March elections, including former
Justice Minister Eugene Wamalwa
and Mr Mudavadi, have complained
of being sidelined by the Jubilee gov-
ernment. Several politicians from the
region, among them Senator Moses
Wetangula and a host of MPs, will
attend the Presidents functions.
Expectations are high in the county
and the president has his hands full,
with the leaders and residents hop-
ing he will address the challenges
facing Bungoma.Among the issues
are closure of Pan Paper Mills, cash-
strapped Nzoia Sugar Company and
infrastructure development.
A resident, Mr Stephen Watiti,
hopes the circus surrounding the
on-and-o re-opening of Pan Paper
Mills will be brought to an end by the
President.
Mr Lusaka said the visit is timely.
I am humbled to be the rst gov-
ernor whose homecoming ceremony
will be graced by the President, he
said.
The governor said residents have
high expectations that President
Kenyatta will address their chal-
lenges.
He said the President would com-
mission the Musikoma-Buyofu road
that the national government had
pledged to tarmac.
He added that residents also hope
the national government would con-
sider tarmacking Misikhu-Brigadier
and Chwele-Lwakhakha roads.
These are key roads which if tar-
macked will see the county open up
for business and trade, he said.
Mr Lusaka said the county
government had undertaken vari-
ous development projects and the
report would be presented to the
President.
He cited the rehabilitation of roads
in urban areas in the county, fertiliser
support programme, construction of
a chicken slaughter house and leather
tannery as well as provision of drugs
to various hospitals in the county.

County in project
to decongest town
BY NATION REPORTER

ers, a backhoe, a dozer, a low
bed and three pick-up supervi-
sion vehicles at a cost of Sh132
million.
The county also has service-
able equipment including three
graders and a shovel.

T
wenty victims of toxic brew
that killed 86 Kenyans were
yesterday buried in Makueni
County.
Leaders who attended the prayers
at Kithuki Primary School blamed
the deaths on corruption and neg-
ligence.
Former Vice-President Kalonzo
Musyoka criticised the government
for failing to arrest the manufacturer
of the killer drink.
Up to date the government has not
arrested the manufacturer of the toxic
brew, said Mr Musyoka.
He blamed the deaths on corruption
as the brew had been approved by the
Kenya Bureau of Standards.
He said compensation for those
aected should be increased from
Sh50,000 to Sh1 million.
The national government gave
little money Sh50,000 for compen-
sation other than Sh1 million because
it did not assess the damage on the
families, said Mr Musyoka.
He said the government should take
full responsibility and treat toxic brew
survivors the same way they treat ter-
rorism attack victims.
Musyoka added that chiefs should
not be interdicted as they do not have
capacity to test any alcoholic brew.
Makueni Governor Kivutha
Kibwana said high poverty levels in
the county had led to the proliferation
of cheap brew.
The level of poverty in Makueni
currently stands at 64.4 per cent,
leading to the drinking of cheap
brew hence the deaths, said Prof
Kibwana.
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo
Jnr criticised the government for fail-
ing to ensure its citizens are safe and
termed the death of the 86 Kenyans
as domestic terrorism.
Mr Mutula said Kebs and Nacada
should be charged with murder.
Someone should take responsibil-
ity, he said.
Makueni Deputy Governor Adelina
Mwau called for more alcoholism re-
habilitation centres in the country.
The county should set up cheap
rehabilitation centres to tackle the
increased problem of alcoholism,
said the deputy governor.
Some 105 people were admitted

Former Speaker seeks Sh40m for wrongful sacking
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Ousted Kiambu County Speaker
Nick Ndichu wants Sh40 million for
wrongful dismissal.
Mr Ndichu said that his rights had
been infringed and that his legitimate
expectation of being in employment
as the Speaker of Kiambu Assembly
for ve years was shattered.
He also refuted claims of being cor-
rupt, fraudulent and untrustworthy
saying that the accusations by the Ki-
ambu assembly were meant to depict
him as a crooked individual.
The malicious allegations have ren-
dered me incapable of getting clients
to continue eectively and eciently
running my law rm to earn a decent
living, he told the court.
However Mr Kibe Mungai for the as-
sembly asked for more time to le an
amended plaint saying that the money
Mr Ndichu is seeking is equivalent
to what the county wants from him.
We have a claim against Mr Ndichu
which might exceed the amount he is
seeking from the county, he said.
Mr Mungai said he had come across
fresh evidence against Mr Ndichu.
Assembly clerk John Mwivithi Mutie
held that the county conducted all the
proceedings legally.
Motion
A procedural motion was proposed
by the leader of majority in the assem-
bly, Mr Simon Kimani Komu.
He said that Mr Ndichu approved
the motion for his removal without
any alteration or amendment since he
was convinced that the motion was
merited, proper, legal and procedural.
He ought to have disqualied him-
self from chairing the motion for his
removal. He however chose to preside
over the same, the clerk said.
He added that Mr Ndichu was ac-
corded the right to defend himself and
that he allowed the assembly members
to participate in and contribute to the
motion which they overwhelmingly
supported.
A ruling on whether Mr Mungai can
le an amended petition will be given
at the end of the month.
Swazuri team
withdraws suit
against Ngilu
BY NATION CORRESPONDENTS
The National Land Commission
yesterday withdrew its case against
Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu.
Its lawyer, Mr Waweru Gatonye,
told Judge Isaac Lenaola of the High
Court that he had been instructed
to withdraw the case.
Mr Gatonye and Ms Stella Munyi,
representing the Cabinet Secre-
tary, had told the court that talks
were going on with the Attorney-
General over the closure of land
registries.
Ms Munyi said the talks led to
an agreement that the Mrs Ngilus
team should be allowed to complete
what it had started.
The matter is marked as with-
drawn, said Justice Lenaola.
The commission was seeking
uncontrolled access for its sta to
the central registry in Nairobi and
for the public at the Lands head-
quarters at Ardhi House.
Mrs Ngilu (above) had closed
the registry and promised it would
reopen on Monday.
The commission failed to get her
to open the registries, thus holding
up land transactions.
The judge advised lawyers John
Khaminwa and Christine Aoko and
all the parties to appear in court to
conrm that the dispute had been
settled internally.
Mr Khaminwa and Ms Aoko were
representing businessman Benson
Riitho, who argued in court that
Mrs Ngilu was meddling in the
commissions functions.
Backing of President
Mrs Ngilus decision had the
backing of President Kenyatta.
The closure was designed to
give the ministry time to re-en-
gineer land processes and reduce
the turnaround time in serving
the public.
The closure would also allow Mrs
Ngilu to carry out an audit and re-
organise land registries.
This was to start in Nairobi on May
5 and continue until May 16 (today)
with normal business resuming on
May 19.

School was once an
academic giant. Not
so any more.
The once prestigious na-
tional school, whose name
i n the Borana l anguage
means a place of inexhaust-
ible waters, is now thirsting
for its former glory.
It has si nce been
downgraded to a district
school.
When the Nation team vis-
ited the institution in Isiolo
County soon after lunch time,
the dining hall that had just
been used by the students
looked like a kraal.
Goats from the neighbour-
hood streamed in to shelter
themselves from the scorch-
ing sun.
Old, rickety typewriter
Poor academic perform-
ance, falling enrolment,
dilapidated infrastructure
and students indiscipline
shame the many prominent
people who passed through
the institution.
At the school reception,
an old, rickety typewriter,
which could make for a
precious artefact for the
archives, clicks as it churns
out typed materials in a dig-
ital age.
Isi ol o Governor Mo-
hamed Gouled, one of the
old students, said the name
was once synonymous with
excellence.
On one of the windows of
the Form Four class is the
inscription, No matter the
situation, we still survive.
But the reality is that
academic survival for the
school is an uphill task,
going by the consistent poor
performance in the Kenya
Certificate of Secondary
Education examination over
the past ve years.
In 2009, the school posted
a mean score of 4.29, 3.94 the
following year and in 2011, it
had 3.46. In 2012, it scored
3.26, while last year it posted
a 2.84 grade.
Principal Charles Kamau
attributed the poor perform-
ance to laxity.
Students are hardly pre-
pared for the Kenya National
Examinations Council tests,
he added.
Though we cannot go back
and make a brand new start,
we can start and make a brand
new ending, he said.

often unleash their animals
on the ADC farms, causing
massive destruction of crops,
ADC managing director An-
drew Tuimur said yesterday.
Mr Tuimur said the matter
should not be politicised as
the damage caused by il-
legal grazing on ADC farms
threatened maize production.

A
man ghting for custody
of his son yesterday
sought fresh court
orders compelling his Zimba-
bwean ex-lover to take the boy
to school.
Mr Samwel Kimani said the
constitutional rights of his four-
year-old had been breached.
He told Nakuru High Court
judge Abigail Mshila that he
intended to have the rights
safeguarded.
To do this, he needed to
have the lower court barred
from listening to a plea by the
boys mother, Julikka Makaure
of Zimbabwe, for custody until
the petition is heard.
Mr Kimani also seeks to
have the police compelled to
investigate and prosecute Ms
Makaure over a report she
made at Nakuru Central Po-
lice Station that the child had
been kidnapped in South Africa
and own to Kenya without her
consent.
But State Counsel James
Nombi said he objected to
having the Director of Public
Prosecutions compelled to
investigate and prosecute Ms
Makaure, arguing that the court
lacked such powers.
Ms Makaures lawyer, Eliza-
beth Wangare, also took issue
with the plea to have the chief
magistrates court barred from
hearing the custody dispute.
Yesterday, Mr Gakinya un-
successfully urged the court to
compel Ms Makaure to allow
the child to attend school as
they await hearing and deter-
mination of the petition, saying
fees had been paid.
Judge Mshila said that would
not happen since the mother
would incur extra expenses
dropping the child to and pick-
ing him up from school.
He added that the issue was
urgent and that it would harm
the best interests of the child
if it was delayed for another
week as the hearing the peti-
tion progressed.
The mother flew in from
South Africa and lodged a claim
on the child saying as a mother,
she enjoyed exclusive rights to
raise up the child while the fa-
ther ought to provide money
for his maintenance.
The case will be mentioned
next week.

Woman seized for burning sons hand
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
A woman has been ar-
rested for allegedly burning
her sons hands in Chamasir
Location, Teso North sub-
county.
The mother of four is said
to have inicted the wounds
on the 10-year-old boy to
discipline him for allegedly
stealing an egg on May 3.
Deputy County Commis-
sioner Josephine Onunga said
local administrators were on
routine assignments in the
area on Wednesday when
they came across the child
with burns on his hands.
The area chief interro-
gated the child learnt that
his mother burnt him.
Stolen an egg
Ms Onunga said the
woman was presented to
the childrens oce before
being taken to the Malaba
Police Station.
She said the woman in-
sisted the boy had stolen an
egg and she had to punish
him.
The child was treated at
Kocholia District Hospital.
The administrator said the
boy had been unable to attend
school because he cannot use
his hands.
She said the chief had
been asked to look for the
boys father and find out
whether he was aware of the
incident.
She said the father might
also be charged with negli-
gence.
Four held
for blocking
anti-polio
campaign
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Four women were yesterday
arrested for preventing health
workers from immunising their
children against polio.
The four from Obunga
and Nyalenda estates cited
their faith and harassment by
the health workers as their
reasons for resisting the vac-
cination of the children.
How can they storm our
houses if they have a good
agenda? We are not against
the immunisation. All we want
is to be accorded respect and
we will allow children to be im-
munised, one of the women in
Nyalenda told the Nation.
Another said her church
does not allow children to
receive any form of immuni-
sation.
The children were immu-
nised after the womens arrest.
County disease surveillance
coordinator Elly Nyambok
reported that many parents
went into hiding during the
ve-day anti-polio campaign,
forcing the health workers to
call in the police.
We are glad that they all
nally agreed to allow the chil-
dren to undergo immunisation,
said Mr Nyambok.
The immunisation ended
yesterday.

A
n MP has diered with
Governor Ali Hassan
Joho that the manage-
ment of the Port of Mombasa
should be the mandate of the
county government.
Nyalis Hezron Awiti
yesterday dismissed as un-
lawful the governors threat
to take control of the national
asset.
Kenya Ports Authority
chairman Danson Mungatana
on Tuesday said that there
was no way Mr Joho could
take over the harbour.
Mr Awiti said the gover-
nors remarks were his own
personal opinion as the ma-
jority of Mombasa leaders
were opposed to the idea.
The governor was setting a
bad precedent by planning
to make an unconstitutional
move, he said.
There is no way we can
support the governor on
his quest to forcibly take
over the port when the law
is clear that it is a national
asset, he said. As a gover-
nor, Mr Joho should lead by
example rather than uttering
sentiments which could trig-
ger anarchy.
He added: Our governor is
day-dreaming. He cant take
over a national asset. Instead,
the county should push for a
slice of the revenue generated
by the facility.
But Mombasa county
representatives supported
the governor and vowed to
enact legislation to compel
transporters to pay $50
(Sh4,250) per tonne of
cargo passing through the
port, which would go to the
county government.
The leaders said in a state-
ment that they wanted the
port to be run by the county
government because it had not
fully beneted the residents.
They also want the Kenya
Ferry Service to be control-
led by the county.
The leaders accused Mr
Mungatana of working
against the interest of Mom-
basa people by opposing Mr
Johos eorts.

Mr Awiti urged Mr Joho
to sit down with KPA
bosses and request for a
share of the revenue gen-
erated at the port instead
of seeking to control it.
It is better for the gov-
ernor to lobby for a share
of the revenue collected
at the port to help imple-
ment local development
projects, he said.

Sudan denies
claims LRA
leader in
its territory
KHARTOUM, Thursday
The Sudanese government has
denied claims made by United
Nations Secretary General, Ban
Ki-Moon, that the leader of the
Lords Resistance Army (LRA)
Joseph Kony is currently present
in Sudans Kaa Kingi enclave.
Mr Ban told the UN
Security Council (UNSC):
Credible sources suggest LRA
leader Joseph Kony and senior
LRA commanders have recently
returned to seek safe haven in
Sudanese-controlled areas of the
enclave.
In a statement on Wednesday,
Sudans foreign ministry
underscored the countrys
commitment to fight against
the LRA since the signing of the
agreement with Uganda which
allowed the latter to pursue Konys
troops inside Sudanese territories
in 2002.
It added that Sudan is taking
part in regional initiatives aimed
at ghting the LRA, noting that
Khartoum is currently holding
observer status following
independence of South Sudan
and seeks to exchange information
with Uganda.
The statement denounced
Mr Ban accusation, saying his
report neither veried accuracy
of the information nor mentioned
its source, renewing readiness to
seriously deal with any reliable
information about existence of
LRA troops in Sudans territory.
The foreign ministry further
called upon African Union
Commission (AUC) and African
Union Peace and Security Council
(AUPSC) to play their role in
verifying existence of LRA troops
in Sudan in accordance with the
mechanisms and measures
agreed upon. (Sudan Tribune)

ABUJA, Thursday
N
igerias President Good-
luck Jonathan has ruled
out the release of Boko
Haram ghters in exchange for
the freedom of more than 200
schoolgirls kidnapped by the
militants a month ago.
Britains Africa minister Mark
Simmonds, in Nigeria for talks
about the international rescue
mission, told reporters yesterday:
The president made it very clear
that there will be no negotiation
with Boko Haram that involves a
swap of abducted schoolgirls for
prisoners, he told reporters.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar
Shekau suggested in a video re-
leased on Monday that he may
be prepared to release the girls
if Nigeria freed militants held in
the countrys jails.
Interior Minister Abba Moro
immediately rejected the plan,
telling AFP that the Islam-
ist group, which has waged a
deadly insurgency in northeast
Nigeria since 2009, could not
dictate terms.
A door appeared to have
opened to discussions about
the girls on Tuesday, when
special duties minister Taminu
Turaki indicated that the teen-
agers freedom could up for
discussion.
Mr Simmonds said President
Jonathan had now ruled that out,
he added that the president was
still prepared to full his pledge
of talking to the extremists
about wider issues to end the
violence.
International powers have
ramped up the search, includ-
ing the use of US military
surveillance drones and manned
aircraft.
The Pentagon said it had
deployed the robotic Global
Hawk, which ies at high alti-
tude, and the manned MC-12, a
propeller plane heavily used in
Afghanistan.
Both types of aircraft are un-
armed and strictly being used
for surveillance. However, the
data is not yet being shared
with the Nigerians because
Washington is still working
out an agreement to govern the
sharing of intelligence, Colonel
Steven Warren told reporters.
Hawkish Republican Sena-
tor John McCain has said the
Pentagon should consider act-
ing unilaterally and sending
US special forces in to rescue
the girls.
US military officials said
privately that a rescue mission
would be fraught with massive
risks and dangers and that it cur-
rently was not deemed an option.
Meanwhile, relatives of the 200
schoolgirls today called for their
unconditional release.
Ayuba Chibok, whose niece
is among the hostages, said the
girls detention was taking its
toll on parents and families in
their remote town from where
the teenagers were abducted
on April 14.
For me, I want these girls re-
leased without any negotiations.
Even if Boko Haram wants to
request something from the
government, let them request
something else, he told AFP
by telephone from Chibok.
Let (Shekau) release these
girls unconditionally, he added.

JOHANNESBURG, Thursday
South African President Jacob Zuma,
despite his protestations, knew about
extravagant renovations to his private
home at the taxpayers expense, a
veteran from his own ANC party said
yesterday.
The embattled Zuma has previously
said he did not ask for a multi-million
dollar state-funded makeover of his
private house after an ombudsman
found that he unduly benetted from
the renovations. The president knew
about it (the renovations) because he
was there and he complained.
He said please dont put windows
there and put them there and there, Ben
Turok, a former lawmaker and veteran
in the successful ght against South
Africas apartheid regime, told reporters.
President Zuma had in particular
complained that the works were being
carried out too slowly, the Sapa news
agency cited him as saying.
The ombudsman said the $23 million
spent on the renovations at Zumas
country homestead was excessive
and ordered him to repay some of
the costs, a request the president has
turned down.
Meanwhile, late today, South
Africas government said it would take
the countrys public protector to court
over her report into taxpayer funded
refurbishments at President Zumas
home.
In a move that is sure to intensify
an already political charged dispute,
security ministers said they would ask
the high court to review watchdog Thuli
Madonselas report into the $23 million
upgrades. Madonsela ruled that Zuma
unduly beneted from the work on his
rural home in Nkandla. (AFP)

FEARS | Lieutenants worry that his health problems may see him not nishing his term
Mugabe in Singapore for treatment
BY KITSEPILE NYATHI
NATION CORRESPONDENT
HARARE, Thursday
Z
imbabwe President Robert
Mugabe is in Singapore for
an eye checkup as concern
grows over the 90 year-old
leaders health.
He left Harare on Wednesday
after with his spokesperson
George Charamba saying he is
going for a routine eye check-
up.
President Mugabe has
frequented Singapore since
last year after he had a cataract
operation.
His Excellency the President,
left Harare this (Wednesday)
afternoon on a week-long
private visit to that country, Mr
Charambas statement said.
During his visit President
Mugabe will undergo a routine
eye check-up following a recent
procedure on the same.
Of late his visits to Singapore
have sparked speculation, with
some online publications even
going to the extent of claiming
he is dead. The last visit was
in February ahead of his 90th
birthday where again rumours
circulated that he was seriously
ill.
He told state television on the
eve of his birthday that despite
rumours he had prostate cancer,
he was t as a ddle.
President Mugabe has been in
power since 1980. In February he
told his party to stop discussing
his succession saying it promoted
factionalism.
He also warned those
identied as factional leaders
that they risked being expelled
from his Zanu PF party.
President Mugabe, one Africas
longest serving leaders, promised
to ruthlessly crush the camps in
his party going forward.
The veteran rulers succession
has been discussed in hushed
tones for decades and he has
repeatedly stressed that he is
not thinking about retirement.
However, behind closed doors
his lieutenants worry that his
health problems may see him
not nishing his term that ends
in 2018.
There are two factions in
the ruling Zanu PF party that
are reportedly angling for his
position in the event that he
leaves oce or dies.
Zanu PF will hold an elective
congress in December but it is
unlikely that President Mugabe
would be challenged as the party
does not tolerate dissent.
Mr Mugabes frequent visits
to Singapore in recent years have
led to growing speculation over
the state of his health. Another
visit in July 2012 sparked further
rumours about his health, with
media reports suggesting he was
being treated for cancer.
Visits to island state
have sparked viral
rumours with some
claiming hes very ill
Leaks: A US diplomatic cable
from 2008, leaked in 2011 by
anti-secrecy website WikiLe-
aks, quoted Mugabes close
ally and former central bank
chief Gideon Gono as telling
a former US ambassador the
president had been diagnosed
with prostate cancer.
Main problem: Mr Mugabes
spokesman has insisted his
only health concern was one
of his eyes.

KHARTOUM, Thursday
A
Sudanese judge today sen-
tenced a Christian woman
to hang for apostasy, despite
appeals by Western embassies for
compassion and respect for religious
freedom.
Born to a Muslim father, the woman
was convicted under the Islamic sharia
law that has been in force in Sudan
since 1983 and outlaws conversions
on pain of death.
Ms Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag,
27, is eight months pregnant and
married to a Christian national of
South Sudan, which separated in
2011, human rights activists say.
Meriam has been held in Omdur-
man Federal Womens Prison since
17 February, with her 20-month-old
son.
We gave you three days to recant
but you insist on not returning to
Islam. I sentence you to be hanged,
Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa
told the woman, addressing her by her
fathers Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi
Mohammed Abdullah.
Judge Khalifa also sentenced Ishag
to 100 lashes for adultery.
Under Sudans interpretation of
sharia, a Muslim woman cannot
marry a non-Muslim man and any
such relationship is regarded as
adulterous.
Ishag reacted without emotion
when Abbas delivered the verdict at
a court in the Khartoum district of
Haj Yousef.
Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic
religious leader spoke with her in the
caged dock for about 30 minutes,
trying to convince her to change her
mind. But she calmly told the judge:
I am a Christian and I never com-
mitted apostasy.
Sudan has an Islamist government
but, other than oggings, extreme
sharia law punishments have been
rare.
We are shocked and very sad to
see this verdict, which is not in line
with Sudans own constitution and
international obligations, a foreign
diplomat who asked for anonymity
said.
We very much hope that this will
be corrected on appeal.
One of Ishags lawyer, Mohanad
Mustafa, said following the sentence
that the defence will seek to overturn
the ruling at a higher court. They will
rst go to the appeal court, then the
supreme court and, if necessary, to
the Constitutional Court because they
believe the criminal code prohibition
against apostasy violates the constitu-
tion, he said.
After the hearing about 50 people
demonstrated against the death
sentence.
No to executing Meriam, said
one of their signs while another
proclaimed: Religious rights are a
constitutional right.
In a speech, one demonstrator said
they would continue their protests
until she is freed.
A smaller group supporting the
verdict also arrived but there was
no violence.
This is a decision of the law. Why
are you gathered here? one supporter
asked, prompting an activist to retort:
Why do you want to execute Meriam?
Why dont you bring corruptors to
the court?
Sudan is widely perceived as one
of the most corrupt countries in the
world, ranked 174th for its perform-
ance by campaign group Transparency
International.

NEW YORK, Thursday
T
he New York Times
abruptly replaced its rst
female executive editor, Jill
Abramson, yesterday and named
managing editor Dean Baquet as
the rst African American in the
top editorial post.
Ms Abramsons departure was
announced by the US dailys
publisher Arthur Sulzberger, and
the papers own report said: The
reasons for the switch were not
immediately clear.
The sudden departure left
many questions unanswered
both inside and outside one of
the nations most prestigious
news organisations.
The New Yorker cited
unnamed sources as saying
that Ms Abramson quit after a
confrontation over her pay, said
to be lower than Bill Keller, her
predecessor as executive editor
and previously managing editor.
She confronted top brass, the
magazine cited a close associate
as saying, adding that this may
have fed into the managements
narrative that Ms Abramson was
pushy.
The report was backed by
NPR media correspondent
David Folkenflik, who said he
had conrmed Ms Abramson did
indeed challenge corporate brass
over what she saw as unequal pay
and that Times sta wondered if
gender had a role in her ouster.
But the Times disputed that
account.
From the start, Jills
compensation as executive
editor was directly comparable
to Bill Kellers compensation as
executive editor, spokeswoman
Eileen Murphy told AFP.
Todays change in
leadership was a result of
Arthur Sulzbergers concern
about aspects of newsroom
management. Northeastern
University journalism professor
Dan Kennedy said the departure
appeared irregular.
This was definitely not a
normal change, Kennedy told
AFP. Abramson did not address
the sta and was all but hustled out
of the building. The explanation
that Arthur Sulzberger oered
about newsroom management
seems completely inadequate.
Dan Gillmor, a journalism
faculty member at the Arizona
State University said:
If top exec in any other
important industry left under
mysterious circumstances,
@NYTimes would launch a team
of reporters to nd out why, he
tweeted. Alan Mutter, a former
newspaper editor who is now
a consultant, said of the abrupt
change: We dont know if she
jumped or was pushed.
Ms Abramson, 60, was
appointed to head the 160-year-
old paper in 2011. (AFP)

T

mining accident has risen
to 282 after more bodies
were pulled out of the collapsed
mine in the western town of
Soma, Energy Minister Taner
Yildiz said today.
Scores of workers are still

pit, which caved in on Tuesday
following an explosion caused by
an electrical fault.
The previous toll stood at
274.
Meanwhile, Israel oered help
to Ankara after the deadly pit ex-
plosion in Turkey, its emergency
services chief said.
Immediately after the catas-
trophe in Turkey, we sent our
oer of help to the Turkish Red
Crescent, and Magen David
Adom teams are ready to deploy
as soon as they receive the au-
thorisation, the head of Israels
equivalent of the Red Cross, Eli

The mines operator said on
Wednesday that close to 450 of
its sta had been rescued.
But hopes were fading for
an estimated 120 miners still
believed to be trapped.
Relations between Israel and
Turkey have been strained since

EXPANDING FIELD
Lobby says there are no benets in
isuing extra mobile licences P.36
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Co-operative Bank has made
Sh2.5 billion after tax prot for the
period ending March 2014. This
represents a decline of 5.6 per cent
compared to Sh2.6 billion earned
over the same time last year.
The drop in protability comes
despite a 30 per cent growth in the
lending portfolio to Sh154.6 billion
up from Sh119.1 billion. Interest
expenses grew at 20 per cent in
the period to Sh1.8 billion from
Sh1.5 billion.
Net interest income rose at 11.7
per cent to Sh4.8 billion compared
to Sh4.3 billion in the period under
review.
Group chief executive officer
Gideon Muriuki said the per-
formance was satisfactory given
the heavy capital outlay in branch
expansion, deposit mobilisation
drives and investment in its tech-
nology platforms.
Despite our ambitious branch
expansion programme and heavy
investment in ICT infrastructure,
our total operating expenses
increased by 20.5 per cent. This
investment in ICT will enhance
overall eciency and eliminate-
operating cost over runs, he said
in a statement yesterday.
The bank also received a shock
from the end of a tax allowance
it had been granted for ve years
following its listing on the Nairobi
Securities Exchange (NSE).
Since going public, Co-op Bank
has been paying 20 per cent tax
down from the statutory corpora-
tion tax of 30 per cent.
It exhausted its tax allowance in
December 2013 reverting to the 30
per cent, that saw a decline in its
net prots. Its pre-tax earnings in
the period under review stood at
Sh3.5 billion compared to Sh3.23
billion in the previous quarter.

airy farmers allied to the
New Kenya Co-operative
Creameries Limited have
rejected a privatisation plan
that grants a strategic investor
a controlling stake in the milk
processor.
Members have instead
demanded that the plan be
re-organised to give them a
controlling stake since they
are the suppliers of milk to the
company.
We want farmers to be given
85 per cent of the company and
there is no need whatsoever
for a strategic investor to be
brought on board, said chairman
of Kenya Farmers Association
Kipkorir Bitok.
He spoke on the sidelines of
a workshop organised by the
privatisation commission as it
presented its proposed sale plan
for New KCC to stakeholders.
According to the report, farm-
ers are to receive a 31 per cent
stake in the processor which is
equivalent to what a strategic in-
vestor who is to come on board
will be allotted.
Twenty ve per cent of the
company is to be sold to the
public through an Initial Public
Oering while employees and
the government are to receive a
3 per cent and 10 per cent stake
respectively.
New KCC chairman Matu
Wamae, however, said while its
ne for the State to own 10 per
cent of the company, farmers and
employees deserve more than
what has been proposed.
The ownership structure
of this company should in
actual sense be determined by
farmers not the privatisation
commission which should only
be giving us the guidelines, said
Mr Wamae.
Mr Bitok said already a
cooperative society has been
registered through which farm-
ers shall take the controlling
stake in the milk processor.
We shall agree on each
farmers contribution once we
know the share price but no
farmer shall be allowed to own
more than ve per cent, said
Mr Bitok.
Treasury investment secretary
Esther Koimet said in an inter-
view that the plan shall have to
be reworked to accommodate
farmers views.
The strategy we take shall
have to be sustainable and I
believe we should get to a point
where farmers have a majority
stake, she said.
Privatisation Commission
boss Solomon Kitungu said
farmers views shall be consid-
ered as the team goes back to the
drawing board before presenting
another proposal.
The proposal is not cast in
stone; the whole idea is to open
up the company to enable it eas-
ily raise capital in the future, he
said.
New KCC Limited was es-
tablished in 2000 after the old
cooperative went under weighed
down by heavy debts.
The new entity was formed
after the government repaid
debts owed by the former KCC
following an executive order.
Farmers lobby for the lions share
in proposed disposal of New KCC
Producers say there is no need to
bring aboard a strategic investor
with a controlling stake

T
elecommunication com-
panies have questioned
the recent issuance of
additional mobile licences
saying benets to the industry
are unknown.
Speaking to the Daily Nation
on phone yesterday, Telecom-
munication Service Providers
Association of Kenya chairman
Kris Senanu said it was not
clear whether the entry of the
three companies will promote
competition in an industry that
has proven tough to crack.
Last month, the Communi-
cations Commission of Kenya
issued Mobile Virtual Network
Operator licences to three com-
panies including Equity Bank
subsidiary Finserve Africa
Limited.
Members expressed con-
cern that licences were not
given transparently, said Mr
Senanu.
Take legal action
Tespok has written to the
industry regulator asking to
be provided with more details
on the criteria as well as the
processes of awarding the
licences.
Tespok is also warning that
it will take legal action against
construction companies which
damage infrastructure.
Mr Senanu, yesterday said
dialogue had failed to resolve
the problem and that the lobby
would move to court against
contractors that cut cables.
There is wanton disruption
of telecommunication infra-
structure in Kenya because
construction companies are
not treating it as essential,
said Mr Senanu.
Cable cuts in construction
zones in Nairobi and Mombasa,
Mr Senanu said, were costing
the industry and its clients
heavily.
A cable cut in August last
year left about 400 companies
hosted in buildings in Nairo-
bis Upper Hill area oine for
three days.

CBA extends lending to Tanzania via M-Pawa
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Commercial Bank of Africa
has expanded its lending to
Tanzania through a mobile
banking service that runs
on M-Shwaris original plat-
form.
The innovation known as M-
Pawa, will be operated by both
CBA and Vodacom and ena-
bles customers to save, earn
interest and borrow money
using mobile phones.
M-Pawa, just like Kenyas
M-Shwari relies on M-Pesas
platform for transactions to be
successfully completed.
Vodacom Tanzania manag-
ing director Rene Meza said
the service makes it possible
for people to save as little as
Tsh 1, and borrow depending
on their savings history.
Customers open a bank ac-
count via M-Pesa menu, they
then select M-Pawa and are
able to operate their account,
said Mr Meza in a statement
yesterday. The service has
no ledger fees, limits on the
frequency of withdrawals,
minimum operating balances
and charges on deposits and
withdrawals from M-Pesa to
M-Pawa account and vice
versa. CBA plans to grow its
regional business using the
innovation. The bank hopes
M-Pawa will play a part in
doubling its revenue come
end of the year.
It has managed to achieve
nancial inclusion using M-
Shwari in Kenya with customer
savings now standing at Sh24
billion.

T
he entry of an interna-
tional airport catering
services provider is set
to stoke ferocious competition
in a eld that has for long been
dominated by Nas Servair.
This follows the signing
of a deal between German
rm LSG Sky Chefs with the
Kenya Airports Authority
in the provision of in-ight
catering services at the
Jomo Kenyatta International
Airport.
The company is eyeing a
piece of the multi-billion shil-
ling deal that has previously
been a preserve of Nas associ-
ated with the Philip Ndegwa
family that has a stranglehold
on corporate Kenya deals.
LSG Lufthansa Service
Holding headquartered in
Neu-Isenburg Germany, plans
to deliver the services through
LSG Sky Chefs in a deal said
to have received the backing
of local investors led by former
lawmaker Matu Wamae.
Mr Wamae the current
chairman of New KCC is
said to have entered into
partnership with Drummond
Investment Bank chairman
Ndungu Gathinji to lure the
German multinational into
the in-ight catering busi-
ness at the airport.
Its entry now breaks the
monopoly in in-flight air-
port catering and airport
and enhances competition
that is likely to be fought on
quality of service.
Good to have competition
The airport needs com-
petition. It is good to have
competition, is all Mr Wamae
said when Daily Nation con-
tacted him.
LSG Sky Chefs now plans to
invest about Sh435 million ($5
million) in the business at the
airport while KAA is expected
to earn concession fees from
the deal further diversifying
its revenue streams.
It will enable KAA to
generate additional income
from concession fees and land
rental to the second in-ight
caterer, which will boost the
proportion of the authoritys
income from non-aeronautical
streams, said KAA managing
director Lucy Mbugua.

The PREPARED Project anticipates that the individual grants will range between US$100,000 to US$150,000,

objectives by employing a transboundary approach or focus on a regional issue affecting the East African
Community or the Lake Victoria Basin.
The PREPARED Project intends to review concept papers on the following dates: June 11, 2014; August 20,
2014; and November 19, 2014. The concept papers received after November 19th will be reviewed depend-

W
orld Championships med-
allists Hellen Obiri and
Gladys Cherono stamped
their authority by winning their
respective races as Kenya Defence
Forces Athletics Championships
concluded yesterday at Safaricom
Stadium, Kasarani.
Fresh from setting a new 3,000m
Africa record (8:20.68) at the Doha
Diamond League on Friday, Obiri
strode to a double, bagging the
1, 500m and 800m titles at an
event that was graced by Chief of
the Defence Forces General Julius
Karangi.
Representing Laikipia Air Base
(LAB), Obiri, who won bronze in
1,500m at the 2013 Moscow World
Championships, was in top form
clinching victory in the 800m
race in a time of 2:00.6 seconds.
She was followed by the upcom-
ing Selah Jepleting (Lanet) 2:04.4
and Frida Mwikali (Embakasi) who
nished third in 2:05.1. Obiri then
went for victory in the metric mile
race in a time of 4:10.0 to once again
relegate Jepleting to silver medal in
4:15.0 while Perin Nenkampi (MAB)
settled for third place in 4:16.6.
Obiri, the 2012 World Indoor
3,000m champion, and Nenkampi
are in the 4x1500m Kenyan team for
the World Relays due on May 24 to
25 in Nassau, Bahamas.
I thank God for the good shape
I am currently enjoying. I am now
fully focused on the World Relays
after which I will see what happens
before the Commonwealth Games,
said Obiri, who won silver in 3,000m
at the 2014 World Indoor Champion-
ships in March.
Cherono (Kahawa), the World
10,000m silver medallist, who is also
the World Half marathon champion,
wrapped up a double by retaining
the 10,000m just two days after she
won the 5,000m title. Cherono won
the 25 lap race in 34:13.0 to conne
2012 Boston Marathon champion
Sharon Cherop (Isiolo) 34:16.0 and
2013 Rotterdam Marathon Jemimah
Jelagat (MAB) 34:18.4 to second and
third places respectively.
The 2012 London Olympics bronze
medallist Abel Mutai (Thika), who
is also the Africa champion, won
the mens 3,000m steeplechase
in 8:35.0, Edwin Kemboi (Thika)
claimed mens 800m race in 1:45.5
while James Magut triumphed in the
mens 1,500m in 3:40.4.
Meanwhile, an array of interna-
tional athletes will parade at the
Kenya Police Service Athletics
Championships starting today at

Kenya Prisons will miss the third
leg of the Kenya Volleyball Federa-
tion (KVF) National League today
at Ruringu Stadium in Nyeri.
Prisons will be out of action be-
cause a number of their key players
and head coach David Lungaho are
currently attending a development
training course at the Prisons Sta
Training College in Ruaraka.
We asked to be excused from to-
days matches because we couldnt
raise a team due to the ongoing
training, Lungaho (above) told
Daily Nation Sport yesterday.
This will be the second time this
season that Prisons are postponing
their league matches after missing
last months second leg xtures in
Kericho. At the time, Prisons and
Kenya Pipeline were preparing for
the African Club Championship in
Tunisia.
Setter Jane Wacu, Mercy Moim,
Brackcides Khadambi, Lydia
Maiyo, Everlyn Makuto, Elizabeth
Wanyama, Diana Khisa, and Judith
Tarus are the players currently at-
tending the three-month training
programme.
Pipeline will also be without sen-
sational setter Janet Wanja who is
on honeymoon following her recent
marriage.
Eight matches are lined up in
the womens league with the un-
defeated Nairobi Water up against
Mount Kenya University, KDF and
Pipeline, who are placed second
and third respectively, will clash
in a potentially explosive match
at noon, while Nairobi Youth Tal-
ent Academy will only have MKU
Eldoret to contend with after the
cancellation of their match against
Prisons.
In the mens league, Kenya De-
fense Forces, who currently lead the
table with nine points, have a date
with Administration Police in their
only xture, while second-placed
General Service Unit will take on
third placed Prisons Mombasa and
later on Ulinzi.

WEEKEND FIXTURES
Snow, Indiza favoured for Thika Greens KCB Tour
BY LARRY NGALA
@LarryNgala
lngala@ke.nationmedia.com
The chase for prize money and points
in the 2014 KCB Golf Tour gets under
way this morning at Thika Greens Golf
Estates par 72 course.
A eld of 36 professionals has been
drawn for the two rounds event which
tees off this years tournament. A
purse of Sh500,000 is at stake in the
tour with the overall winner pocketing
Sh80,000.
Leading the eld will be Royal Nairobi
Golf Clubs Greg Snow who was the best
placed Kenyan player during this years
Kenya Open at Karen Country Club.
Snow, (right) formerly of Muthaiga
Golf Club, left soon after the Kenya
Open for Morocco where he made the
cut in the Africa leg of the Middle-East
Mena Pro Tour.
His 10th place nish in the Open
also earned him an invitation to play
in ve European Challenge Tour events
later this year if he manages to get a
sponsor.
This weekends event in Thika is
therefore important for Snow as it will
not only give him the necessary match
practise, but also an opportunity to earn
some good cash during his preparation
for the Challenge Tour. But he is likely
to face sti competition from the KCB
Tour series champion Dismas Indiza
from Mumias Sugar Golf Club.
Indiza, who tied for the top prize with
Royal Nairobis Hesbon Kutwa during
last weekends Nation Golf Circuit at
Nakuru, has been in great form since
the Kenya Open where he tied for 13th
place.
Long course
Two weeks ago, Indiza shot a 72-hole
total of seven under par 277 to claim the
2014 Burundi Open at Bujumbura Golf
Club where he won by six shots from
Nyanza Golf Clubs David Odhiambo.
It will be interesting to see how he
perfoms at the long Thika Greens
course this weekend. Also in contention
is Muthaigas Anil Shah and Nicholas
Rokoine, two-time KCB series winner
Simon Ngige from Thika Sports Club,
Royal Nairobis David Wakhu and
the winner of last years KCB Grand
nale Brian Njoroge of Vet Lab Sports
Club.
The second round will take place to-
morrow where the professionals will be
joined by a big eld of over 200 golfers
who will be chasing an array of prizes.
This is the rst Thika Greens Golf Es-
tate situated just a few kilometers from
Thika Sports Club which will host the
Diamond Trust bank tournament that
has attracted more than 200 players.

ed preparations for Sundays
2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying
match against Comoros.
Kenya will begin their campaign
for the continental football show-
piece with a match against the
little-known Indian Ocean Islanders
in a preliminary round xture at the
Nyayo National Stadium.
The squad was bolstered by the
arrival of captain Victor Wanyama,
MacDonald Mariga and Johanna
Omollo and underwent an intensive
two-hour training session at Nyayo
Stadium that ended a few minutes past
6pm. The trio were joined by Dennis
Oliech and David Cheche Ochieng,
who linked up with the team earlier
in the week.
Of the foreign-based legion only
Francis Kahata had yet to arrive in
the Kenyan camp.
Meanwhile, Burundian assistant
coach Amars Niyongabo was part
of Kenyas strong ve-man technical
team that took the players through
their paces.
Others present were assistant train-
ers James Nandwa and Ken Odhiambo
alongside goalkeeper trainer Iddi
Salim, who separately conducted
a workout with the three keepers
Wycliffe Kasaya, Jeremy Onyango
and Wilson Obungu.
Good condition
Our target is to qualify for the Af-
rica Cup of Nations and victory on
Sunday will be a good starting point.
A home win always puts a team in
good condition heading into the return
leg, Mariga, who is making a return
to the national team after a two-year
absence, said.
Yesterdays session was a com-
bination of jogging and sprinting,
stretching workouts, ball juggling, and
a practice match under Amrouches
watchful eye.
Stars are seeking to return to the
biennial competition in just over a
decade, a task the Cecafa Senior Chal-
lenge Cup winning-Belgian coach has
continuously described as the main
objective of his tenure.
Match tickets for this clash against
the Les Coelecantes - who arrived in
Nairobi yesterday morning - will re-
tail at Sh600 for the main stand and
Sh200 for the terraces.

Netherlands coach Louis van
Gaal will have to wait until next
week before being appointed
as Manchester Uniteds new
manager, British media outlets
claimed yesterday.
Newspaper reports earlier in
the day had suggested that the
Dutchmans appointment was im-
minent, but the Press Association
said that although a broad agree-
ment had been reached, no
deal has yet been signed. When
contacted by AFP, a United press
ocer said that the club would
not be commenting on the matter.
Van Gaal, 62, quickly emerged as
the favourite to become Uniteds
next manager after David Moyes
was sacked last month and is
reported to have held a meeting
with player-coach Ryan Giggs in
Holland on Wednesday.
Giggs, who was appointed in-
terim manager following Moyess
dismissal, was pictured in Van
Gaals hometown of Noordwijk
and is thought to have been of-
fered the chance to work as his
assistant.
The Guardian newspaper re-
ported that Giggs was invited to
Van Gaals home, where the pair
held a discussion lasting around
three hours. Van Gaal would not
comment when approached by a
reporter from British television
station Sky Sports News in Am-
sterdam on Wednesday.

We have come for a win and have no fear, visitors warn Stars
BY CELLESTINE OLILO
colilo@ke.nationmedia.com
Comoros coach Djamal Mohammed
yesterday said they consider Kenya
a tough challenge but are in Nairobi
to win their Africa Cup of Nations
qualier.
The tie will be held at Nyayo Sta-
dium on Sunday. We know Kenya is
a rather big team in terms of football
but we will strive to explore what we
can do ourselves. We will take them
just as any other team, we do not
want to approach the match with
fear, he said.
Speaking at the Ruaraka stadium
where the team held their rst training
session, Mohammed admitted that the
Kenyan squad has some quality play-
ers, but added that they will look to put
up a good ght and try their best to
get results on Sundays. I know Kenya
has many excellent individual players.
I have followed striker (Dennis) Oliech
for example when he was playing in the
French league but we will rely on team
spirit and see how far we can push it,
the French speaking Mohammed said
through an interpreter.
Play in Europe
The 18-man Les Coelecantes squad
arrived in the country yesterday and
will be joined by four more players
who ply their trade in Europe.
Mohammed said that although
they were considered underdogs,
their desire is to win the match and
advance to the next stage of the pre-
qualiers.
It helps that we are playing the rst
match away, because at least by the
time we do the second leg we will have
learnt more about our opponents and
we will be better placed to devise ways
of ensuring the game goes our way,
team manager Amir Abadou said.
You are not alone: Fans rally to raise Nasios medical costs
BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com
Just days ago, Gor Mahias right
back Solomon Nasio (left) faced an
uncertain future as he grappled with
a broken nose that had kept him away
from active football.
However, things are now looking up
for the talented fullback after the club
fans, football lovers and well-wishers
raised enough money in 24 hours to
unable him pay for corrective nose
surgery at the Kenyatta National Hos-
pital (KHN).
After Daily Nation Sports on Wednes-
day highlighted the players plight it
took just a day for concerned fans
contribution to surpass the Sh150,000
Nasio needed to pay for his broken nose
to be repaired.
This followed a funds drive mooted
by the club fans via Safaricom line
0708304895 and led by vocal club
supporter Tony Anelka. By yester-
day evening the fans had raised over
Sh200,000.
Author and former Nation Media
Group employee Bethuel Oduo sepa-
rately contributed Sh20,000 directly
to the player.
An overwhelmed Nasio could not
hide his emotions. He thanked Daily
Nation for reporting his plight while also
taking time to praise the club fans and
football lovers at large for their gener-
ous contribution.
Glory be to God. I thought my
career was over.
I will never forget this day. I take
this opportunity to thank all who have
contributed to my medical kitty. Deep
down in my heart I am humbled, I never
thought such a thing could happen, he
said yesterday.
Special thanks to Daily Nation and
the Gor Mahia fraternity who came to
my aid, added the father of one.

F
or France, after qualifying in such dra-
matic fashion, this years World Cup
will be as much about banishing the
bad memories of the recent past as building
towards the future.
The farce of Frances 2010 World Cup
campaign in South Africa, marked by a play-
ers strike and a group-stage exit, ruined the
publics perception of Les Bleus at home, and
subsequent incidents have not helped.
Samir Nasris outburst towards a journalist
at Euro 2012 in Ukraine and Patrice Evras
verbal assault on a host of respected media
pundits in a television interview late last year
two of the most notable episodes.
It has been one disappointment after an-
other for the French since their remarkable
run to the nal of the 2006 World Cup in
Germany, but things are slowly but surely
progressing under Didier Deschamps.
Crowned world champions
The captain of the team that were crowned
world champions on home soil in 1998, De-
schamps succeeded his former international
colleague Laurent Blanc after Euro 2012, when
the French were eliminated in the quarter-
nals by Spain.
Under his charge, France have won just

Quito
Antonio Valencia (left) has had a
tough season on and o the pitch but
still faces high expectations when
he leads Ecuador at the World Cup
nals.
The 28-year-old will have an
added incentive to see Ecuador at
least emulate their 2006 heroics,
when they reached the last 16.
Playing against France, Switzer-
land and Honduras in Group E, the
wideman will hope to stake a place in
the plans of whoever becomes Man-
chester Uniteds new manager.
He will also be competing for
the memory of his closest friend
Christian Benitez, Ecuadors lead-
ing scorer in the qualiers with four
goals, who died aged just 27 last
July when playing for Qatari club
Al Jaish.
Valencia, who had known Benitez
since they were teenagers in the Ec-
uadorean Army side Deportivo El
Nacional and the Under-20 national
side, immediately had a tattoo artist
design a tribute to him.
I wanted to share with you this
tribute in honour of my brother
Chucho, posted Valencia on his
Twitter account. Well never for-
get you.
The tattoo has Benitezs nickname
Chucho, alongside three stars, his
date of birth, his shirt number and
date of death.
Death left a vacuum
Benitezs death left a vacuum in
the national side but coach Rein-
aldo Rueda moved to end part of
the mourning process by replac-
ing Walter Ayovi as captain with
Valencia.
It was hard on Walter Ayovi, who
is 500% excellent, Rueda said.
But Antonio Valencia was closest
to Benitez - they were like twins -
and so making him the captain was
a way of rallying the group, he told
the BBC.
Valencia was reluctant initially,
out of respect for Ayovi, but it ended
up being, from a psychological point
of view, a change that gave us a boost
in the nal straight. (AFP)
Valencia, one of the few members
remaining from the Ecuador squad
from the 2006 edition, happily for
the squad wont be in charge of their
culinary diet given an anecdote re-
counted by Benitez of their days in
the Nacional side. I remember one
day a trainer advised us to eat pasta
and a lot of iron to keep t, but Tono
(Valencia) misunderstood. (AFP)
Ecuadors mourning Valencia on mission to impress
nine times in 19 games but they got the job
done, nishing an acceptable second to reign-
ing world champions Spain in their qualifying
group and then dramatically beating Ukraine in
a play-o, winning 3-0 at the Stade de France
after a 2-0 loss in Kiev.
That maintained Les Bleus record of hav-
ing qualied for every major tournament nals
since missing out on USA 1994, and the stun-
ning nature of that second-leg display against
Ukraine did a lot to restore a nations faith in
their team.
Frances only outing since then was a promis-
ing 2-0 win against the Netherlands, in which
Karim Benzema scored for the fourth time in
ve international appearances.
It was further proof that the 26-year-old Real
Madrid striker is once again comfortable playing
for his country after a shocking international
goal drought of more than 1,200 minutes either
side of Euro 2012.
When he plays at that level it is great for us,
said Deschamps of Benzema after the defeat
of the Dutch.
Lets hope he can keep it up. You can see it
on his face. He is beaming and that is because
he is feeling condent.
Strength in depth
In Benzema and 30-year-old Bayern Mu-
nich winger Franck Ribery - who came third
behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
in the voting for the 2013 FIFA Ballon dOr
- Deschamps has two world-class talents at
the peak of their careers, but there is depth at
his disposal too.
An exciting crop of young players is emerg-
ing too.
France enjoyed remarkable success at youth
level last year, winning the under-20 World Cup
and reaching the nal of the under-19 European
Championship, and Juventus midelder Paul
Pogba, the captain of the under-20 team, is
already part of the full side along with Real
Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
With that in mind, Brazil will be about build-
ing towards having a side capable of winning the
2016 European Championship, which France
will host, although Deschamps still hopes to
make a signicant impact.
You dont go to a World Cup just to take
part, but it will help us to prepare for Euro
2016, he said.
We have young players like Varane or Pogba,
other players who have taken part at a European
Championship before and even some older ones
who have been at a World Cup.
We need to find the right balance and
the World Cup will serve as an experience.

T
welve months ago, Karim
Benzema was France
coach Didier Deschamps
biggest problem, but now the
hope is that the in-form striker
will be the solution for Les Bleus
in Brazil.
The 26-year-old Real Madrid
striker comes into what will be
his rst World Cup after enjoying
a liberating last six months, both
on the eld and o.
Benzema endured a shock-
ing international goal
drought of 1,222 min-
utes before coming
good just in the
nick of time,
nally getting
back among
the goals in
a 6-0 friendly
win against
Australia in
October be-
fore scoring
in the cru-
cial 3-0
play-o
s e c -
ond-leg victory over Ukraine in
November that took France to
the World Cup.
The former Lyon player has
now scored four times in his last
ve international appearances,
boosting his overall record for
his country to 19 goals from
65 caps.
Falling by the wayside
Now, with Samir Nasri, Hatem
Ben Arfa and Jeremy Menez fall-
ing by the wayside, he is alone in
ying the ag for Frances lauded
Generation 87, the team that
beat the Spain of Gerard Pique
and Cesc Fabregas to become
European under-17 champions
in 2004. When he plays at that
level it is great for us, said De-
schamps after Benzema scored
one and helped set up another in
a 2-0 defeat of the Netherlands
in March.
Lets hope he can keep it up.
You can see it on his face. He is
beaming and that is because he
is feeling condent.
Along with Bayern Munich
winger Franck Ribery, Benzema
had a huge weight lifted from his
shoulders in January when a Paris
court acquitted both of charges
of having sex with an under-age
prostitute that had been hanging
over them for four years.
Days later it was revealed that
he had become a father for the
rst time.
He has grown up and his
performances on the eld have
improved, with Benzema enjoy-
ing his most consistent season
since moving to Madrid for
35 million euros ($47.4m) in
2009.
Born in Lyon, the son of Al-
gerian immigrants made his
debut for his hometown
team aged 17 in January
2005, coming on as a late
substitute in a 2-0 win
against Metz.
Dont laugh. Im
here to take your
place, he warned
as his senior team-
mates teased him in
the dressing room
before that game.
Come 2007-08,
he was the star
of the Lyon
side that won the league and
cup double, scoring 20 goals in
the league alone.
His full international debut
came aged 19 in March 2007, and
it was a memorable one, as he
came on at half-time in a friendly
against Austria and needed just
nine minutes to score the games
only goal.
Back from the dead
Raymond Domenech took
Benzema to Euro 2008, but a
difficult first season in Spain
saw him left out of the squad
for Frances disastrous 2010
World Cup campaign.
It wasnt easy for him at rst at
the Santiago Bernabeu, and after
a poor performance in a goalless
draw at lower-league Murcia in
the Copa del Rey in 2010, sports
daily Marcas front-page headline
screamed: Benzema is Dead.
The truth is things were com-
plicated at the start, he says. I
knew that the fans were very
demanding. Thats normal when
you see the size of the club.
They expected more from me
so they booed me, but I told my-
self to keep going, keep ghting.
He grew into a rst-pick under
Jose Mourinho and scored 21
league goals in Madrids 2011-
12 title-winning campaign.
This season he has ourished
in Carlo Ancelottis BBC attack

to nail down a regular rst team

true, then Shaqiri will be hoping
to use the global showpiece to
convince club boss Pep Guardiola
of his value.
Just 10 league starts this sea-

P
arliaments budget an-
alysts have criticised
the Treasury, National
Assembly and Judiciary for
ignoring advice on govern-
ment spending.
The Parliamentary Budget
Oce (PBO) has found a
Sh114 million dierence be-
tween the budget summary
and the itemised budget in
the estimates presented to
the National Assembly.
The PBO says in a pres-
entation to the Budget and
Appropriations Committee
that it suspects most targets
set by the Executive for the
2014/15 financial year are
cut-and-paste jobs from
earlier spending plans with
no grounding in reality.
It appears there is a
variance of Sh114.58 mil-
lion between the gross
development expenditure
for 2014/2015 as provided
for in the budget summary
and the itemised budget,
the PBO says in an analysis
prepared for MPs.
While the Budget sum-
mary shows Government
intends to spend Sh486.9
billion on development,
itemised budget lines show
a higher Sh487.01 billion.
The estimates vary sig-
nicantly from the Budget
Policy Statement (BPS)
and the House resolutions.
This shows that the National
Treasury, Judiciary and Par-
liament did not adhere to the
ceilings that were meant to
guide the budget-making
process, the PBO says.
The total budget estimates
for ministries and depart-
ments, Parliament and the
Judiciary exceed the Sh1.1
trillion set in the BPS and
the Sh1.3 trillion set by the
committee and adopted by
the House, it adds.
A budget ceiling is the
full amount the Budget
team sets, which should
be allocated to respective
departments or arms of gov-
ernment in a scal year.
Allocated Judiciary
Under the Constitution,
Parliament has the power
not only to determine its own
budget, but also to prescribe
the maximum for other arms
of government provided it is
reasonable.
The committee had rec-
ommended that the Budget
ceilings for the Judiciary be
set at Sh17 billion and Sh25.7
billion for Parliament.
The Treasury has allocated
Judiciary Sh14.7 billion and
Parliament Sh25 billion.

The
dancing
president
Two things dene South African
president Jacob Zuma socially; his
proud display of polygamy, and his
love for song and dance
BY CHARLES OMONDI
comondi@ke.nationmedia.com
S
outh Africans have voted
overwhelmingly for the
African National Congress,
thereby handing the party
chief, Mr Jacob Zuma, another ve-
year mandate. Now they can sit back
and wait for the entertainment from
the dancing president, because when
it comes to song and dance, Zuma is
peerless the world over.
Though a powerful tool for political
mobilisation in Africa, many a times
leaders join the dancing troupes
assembled to entertain them, not just
for the momentary kicks, but also to
demonstrate that they have not lost
touch with the people.
However, for a lot of the political
class, singing and dancing remain a
challenge, and attempts at the same
often yield no more than restrained
and uncoordinated moves punctuated
with croaking blasts. Were it not for
their stations in society, the gatherings
would most likely boo them o the
stage.
Not even the presidents of the
Congos (Brazzaville and Kinshasa, the
lands of Africas greatest musicians),
have ever been known to be good
dancers and singers. And, across the
ocean in Madagascar, a disc jockey
named Andry Rajoelina forced his way
to power in 2009 and maintained a
stranglehold for a whole four years,
but nothing of his singing and dancing
prowess ever came to the limelight
during his reign.
Natural traits
Not so for President Jacob
Gedleyihlekisa Zuma! To Msholozi,
as he is fondly referred to by his Zulu
clan name, singing and dancing are
like natural traits without which his
interactions with his people remain
quite incomplete.
Attend any rally presided over by
Zuma, and you can rest assured of a
bonus; a lot of song and dance by none
other than the big man himself.
And he does it both in style and
an agility that would make many of
his peers go green with envy. When
handed a microphone, the man just
loses himself, playing the soloist to
a 10,ooo-man choir with his deep
baritone, then twisting and turning
and apping and bending and rising
with the ease of a man half his 72 years
and without the distant potbelly.
Thanks to his singing and dancing
skills, his favourite tune, Umshini Wami
(Bring Me My Machine) has amassed
popularity well beyond South Africa.
And although the song does not
outrightly mention the word gun, the
reference is strong, hence the popular
belief that the lyric actually is Bring
Me My Machine Gun.
Umshini Wami was rst popularised
by members of the ANCs military
wing Umkhonto weSizwe during the
struggle against the apartheid regime,
but President Zumas most recent
performances were at the Labour
Day celebrations at the Peter Mokaba
Stadium in Polokwane, Limpopo State,
and at the ANC final (Siyanqoba)
campaign rally at the First National
Bank Stadium, Soweto on May 4
On the May 1, a vintage Zuma broke
into another of his favourite tunes, A
Long Way We Are Travelling, charming
the thousands in attendance. The
touchy subject of the mine workers
strike that remains unresolved and
a big threat to the South African
economy was temporarily forgotten
as the president played the lead singer
and dancer-in-chief.
On May 4, Zuma again rose to
the occasion. With the 94,000-seat
stadium full to capacity, and another
approximated 20,000 following
the proceedings on the big screens
on the stadium precincts, the rally
began and ended in song and dance,
and thereafter the crowds literally
danced their ways home.
Were it not for his political instincts,
Zuma would probably have joined
the league of other South African
entertainment greats such as Miriam
Makeba, Lucky Dube, Brenda Fassie,
Steve Kekana, Sipho Hot Stix Mabuse
and Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
But not all appreciate Zumas
entertainment prowess. To some,
Umshini Wami, in particular, is not
only brainless, but also inappropriate
in the post-apartheid era.
The song has the military character
used during the struggle against
apartheid and its no longer relevant
today, says Mr Andrew Mlangeni, a
former ANC combatant.
It basically says: Give me my
weapon, I am going to ght apartheid.
Who are you fighting? Your own
people? The ght is over and that
song must no longer be sung, adds

Mlangeni, who, like President Zuma,
was incarcerated on Robben Island.
That argument, however, is baseless,
at least according to the Mail &
Guardians Isaac Mangena, who says
Zuma is not about to stop singing his
signature tune any time soon.
If you erase the songs, you erase
the record of history, Mangena quotes
President Zuma as saying.
Zuma spent a decade in jail on
Robben Island, alongside freedom
icon Nelson Mandela. His songs and
comedy, it is reported, helped keep up
morale among the incarcerated ANC
members.
After being freed from prison,
he left South Africa, living rst in
Mozambique then Zambia as he rose
through the ANC ranks.
Other critics of Umshini Wami feel
uneasy not only about its lyrics, but
also because Zumas Zulu community
has embraced it as their unocial
anthem in a country where tribalism
is frowned upon. The Zulu are South
Africas largest ethnic group.
A section of the opposition claimed
during the campaigns for South
Africas May 7 General Election that
the president, who has hurtled from
one controversy to another, resorts
to song and dance to compensate
for his inability to articulate issues
to the people
But he does talk to his people; a
lot. A veritable master of the political
chessboard, Zuma is never averse to
granting interviews to the media, both
local and international.
He recently sensationally told
journalists in Johannesburg that his
wife was raped 15 years ago when
burglars broke into his Nkandla
home.
The President was defending the
$230 million security upgrades at his
private home that so dominated the
political discourse in the run-up to the
May 7 elections.
The South African President is
much at home discussing matters
of mutual economic interests at the
BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China
and South Africa) conference, as he is
discussing the Zulu traditional rituals
or animal herding activities.
Born into poverty in 1942 in Nkandla,
Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN) Province, his
middle name, Gedleyihlekisa, means
one who smiles while grinding his
enemies.
Charismatic and admirable
He was brought up by his widowed
mother and joined the ANC in the
anti-apartheid struggle at the age of
17, becoming an active member of the
Umkhonto weSizwe in 1962.
Also known simply as JZ, Zuma
is charismatic with an admirable
grasp of global issues and speaks
several languages, courtesy of his
life in exile.
He is also a proud polygamist
following a Zulu tradition and
currently has four wives and several
children out of wedlock.
In Zumas harem are Gertrude
Sizakele Khumalo, married in 1973,
Nompumelelo Ntuli (2008), Thobeka
Madiba (2010) and Gloria Bongi
Ngema (2012).
Zuma married the African Union
Commission chairperson, Dr
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, in 1972,
but they divorced in 1998. His other
wife, Kate Mantsho, brought on board
in 1976, committed suicide in 2000.
Like him or hate him, Zuma has
certainly secured himself a place as
South Africas most colourful and
controversial president of the post-
apartheid era. It is not hard to imagine
that he will hold on to the honours for
a long time to come.

Power dance

ONE OF the nal things that the late Senator
Mutula Kilonzo did was the last thing many had
ever imagined the leader doing: he
danced in public. The then Education
minister was presiding over Education
Day at Chango Secondary School in Vihiga
when he joined the dancing team of Vihiga
Boys in one of their teremka, teremka moves.
For a politician who was renowned for his
stoicism and no-nonsense intellectualism,
this was literally a move out of his
norm.
But our leaders are not strangers
to song and dance. There is a peculiar
musical germ that seems to
infect many an African political
podium, and most leaders are
too eager to get infected with
it, to obey the enchantment of
swinging hips and o-script, o-
tune vocal chords.
Uganda President Yoweri
Museveni, for instance, made
global headlines with his 2010
hit You Want Another Rap?
He rst rapped the song at a
youth rally after revealing that
he had recently learned about
the black African roots of hip
hop music. After rapping a few
of his own lines at the event,
a music producer took up the
rhymes, added some beats
and the chorus Yes, Sevo and
released a package that took
the Ugandan and international
airwaves by storm.
Here at home, Homa-Bay
Senator Otieno Kajwangs
Mapambano chorus has
virtually become the anthem
for the Orange Democratic
Movement. But some people
have complained that the theme
of struggle in the tune makes the politicians
seem as if they are still in the pre-colonial era and
should nd a more updated remix.
But the unopposed king of song and dance
in the Kenyan playlist is former Cabinet minister
Chirau Ali Mwakwere. Mwakwere, or Zipapa as
he is popularly known, is a Congolese music
enthusiast who is not ashamed to show o his
Lingala prowess, both in lyrics and moves. His
love for, and performance of, Mijikenda folk tunes
reveals a leader who is not willing to be bound by
the seriousness often associated with the life at
the top of the pecking order.
Yet leadership is serious business, or at least
that is what we like to believe. Leading millions
is no laughing matter, so the oxymoron that is a
man in a suit dancing, or a politician punctuating
his well-crafted speech with a song and a jig, is a
curiously funny sight.
So, do song and dance have a place in African
leadership, or are these sheki-legi moments just
sideshows that serve no utilitarian function?
In a continent whose culture has been, for
the most part, transmitted through the oral
tradition, music has played a pivotal role in
channelling values, including political ideas.
Yet, ironically, entertainment has been
the least and most recent function of
music in leadership even though, of
late, the use of poetry and rhyme
has helped in engraving political and
cultural ideologies in the minds of
the masses.
Music is powerful and has for the
longest time been an indispensable
tool in African politics. It is no
wonder that many musicians in
dierent African countries have
found themselves behind bars
because of their political messages.
But that seems to be changing. Most
of the incidences of song and dance
in African politics seem anecdotal at
best and amusing at worst.
King David, the greatest leader in
Jewish history, was a great lyricist.
The famous songs in the Bible, the
Psalms, were penned by this great
administrator. He even got into
trouble with his wife for dancing
too much to the point of being
undignied.
But while it was normal for
leaders to sing and dance in the
past, there seems to be an unwritten
incongruence between song, dance
and political leadership in the 21st
century.
Today, it seems leaders should be
sang and danced to, and should not be the ones
doing the dancing and singing. The entertainment
aspect of music is increasingly taking centrestage,
and the leaders who persist in this ancient
tradition, like South Africas Zuma, are becoming
the exceptions and the subjects of cultural
analytical articles like this one.
Song and dance have been sidelined to
pleasure, while leadership continues to be serious
business, and we all know too well we should not
mix business and pleasure. Or should we?
You want another rap? The oxymoron
that is a man in a suit and tie dancing

A
nxiety: Experts say it is very easy to
create at the workplace, especially
through unsubstantiated talk, but quite
hard to remove before it creates damage.
Yet thats what the government has ended
up doing to its employees in the past few
months.
Since November last year, government
ocials have been going around complaining
about a spiralling wage bill, and occasionally
mooting reduction of employees as the
solution.
That idea was conrmed in March this
year when Devolution and Planning Cabinet
Secretary Anne Waiguru announced that her
ministry had asked for Sh2 billion to nance a
proposed retrenchment of about 100,000 civil
servants in the 2014-2015 nancial year.
Then there is the move to merge a number
of government agencies and parastatals, and
to dissovle some in the process. The fear of
job loss is inevitable.
These decisions have got one Gabriel
Murage worried and anxious. The reason,
he says, is that he doesnt understand the
criteria that will be used to retrench civil
servants like him, and so he cant tell if he
will be aected or not.
It is typical of government ocials to
make public pronouncements about issues
that aect sta even before brieng them.
Mr Murage works in Nanyuki for a
government agency dealing with the
environment and water. He feels like it would
be a miracle if he missed the axe, and so with
each passing day, his fears about becoming
jobless mount.
The reason for his anxiety is not helped by
the fact that the agency he works for could
be an easy target for sta to retrench, given
that there is a fully edged government water
catchment agency the Water Resource
Management Authority which, could absorb
his duties and make him redundant.
The mian reason Mr Murage is this anxious
is because nobody is saying anything about
how the retrenchment could aect him if
at all.
In any organisation, prolonged anxiety,
say psychologists, can easily derail the
productivity of the aected employee. Both
management and employees need to be
concerned about workplace anxiety.
Murage is aware that he is spending too
much time worrying, meaning that he may
not at his best. But again, he argues, he cant
just sit pretty and pretend all is ne.
Senior psychology lecturer at the University
of Nairobi, Dr Luke Odiemo, explains that
Murage must already be suering from the
primary stage of job related neurosis, caused
by the anxiety. There could be many more
like him in civil service, given the impending
retrenchment.
In psychology, we dene job anxiety as
a situation in which job related organismic
valuing conicts with the conditions at work,
says Dr Odiemo. Simply put, he is saying
that anxiety at work often arises when the
wishes and values of the employees do not
match those of the employer.
Job related organismic valuing refers to
the subconscious act of setting ones job
objectives, according to their innate values or
personality. When something happens and the
employees objectives are threatened, anxiety
sets in. It gets worse when the employer is
not forthright with information or isnt saying
much at all other than hinting at an action
that may be undesirable to sta.
For instance, public pronouncements
by the government about an intended
retrenchment of civil servants will always

JOB TIP: SEEK PEACE OF MIND
You need to be comfortable at work for peak
performance, not only for your individual
job satisfaction and growth, but also for the

of course within reasonable limits.

Now that the Kenya-China deal for the
construction of the standard gauge railway (SGR)
line is sealed following the signing ceremony on
Sunday, what jobs stand to be created?
China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC),
the contractor for the railway from Mombasa to
Nairobi, estimates that the project will create over
30,000 direct jobs for Kenyans.
Besides, the Sh327 billion project has the
potential to result in about 13,000 new indirect
jobs, largely through local rms that are expected
to supply material and services necessary for the
venture.
We will, as much as possible, source inputs from
local suppliers. We are here to create opportunities
and jobs for Kenyans and not to take away the same
to China, CRBC Liaison and Cooperation Aairs,
Julius Li, assured.
The message was reiterated by Transport and
Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary Eng Michael
Kamau, who said: Tens of thousands of white
and blue collar jobs will emerge as a result of the
commissioning of this project. Eng Kamau was
commenting on the project during a television
interview.
According to estimates by his ministry, the SGR,
which will cover 609 kilometres of railway track in
Phase I, is expected to spawn at least 60 new jobs
per kilometre of track during construction.
The project will use up huge quantities of local
inputs such as steel, cement, ballast, aggregate,
electricity transmission pylons and cables, roong
material, glass and so on, an avenue that is expected
to create some 10,000 new jobs.
A further 3,000 positions are expected to be
accounted for by rms that will be tapped to supply
the contractor and its employees with services such
as catering, accommodation and leisure.
Kenyas present railway line was built more than
100 years ago. The country thus lacks engineers
and other personnel with hands-on expertise in
modern railway track building.
China, on the other hand, has experience in
modern rail technology. The SGR project is thus
expected to be a major avenue for technology
transfer and knowledge sharing between the two
countries.
Where there is local capacity, we shall mobilise
it for the optimal realisation of the project. Where
it is absent, we shall create it through a deliberate
focus on training and technology transfer to Kenyan
workers. Our aim is to build a critical mass of
bankable personnel with the requisite skills for
constructing, maintaining and operating a modern
railway service in this country, stressed Mr Li.
The government estimates that a total of 400
engineers and high-level technicians will benet
from technology transfer opportunities spawned
by the project.
Another 15,000 Kenyan workers, including
cadres such as masons, carpenters, mechanics
and electricians among others, will get an
opportunity to gain skills that will later boost
their employability.
The assurance comes following the signing of the
nancial agreement for the project on Sunday at
State House, Nairobi, between the National Treasury
and Chinese Exim Bank, in a ceremony that was

create anxiety if internally, the matter has
not be eectively articulated.
If the damage has been caused, as in the
case of Murage, then it is necessary that the
concerned employer understands how to
identify and reduce sta anxiety.
Dr Agnes Nthangi, a psychology lecturer at
Kenyatta University, says anxiety among sta
will manifest itself in many ways, and most
of them lead to decreased productivity. So,
when an employees performance suddenly
drops, that should be a redag.
Dr Odiemo says it often begins with a
denial. An employee who is anxious about
their job will like adopt a defensive attitude,
which unfortunately, blur their thinking.
Instead of agreeing that there is
something wrong with the way they are
conducting themselves, the employee will
start thinking, why only me? explains the
Nairobi university lecturer.
Stress or depression may follow and the
outward expression of this would be irritability
and withdrawal. The latter will manifest
dierently for women and men.
Says Dr Odiemo: For men, the tendency
will be to abuse alcohol and other drugs to
create a false sense of peace and comfort.
Women, adds Dr Nthangi, will discuss the
issue with their closest friends at the rst
available opportunity. If the friends do not
act, depression is likely to set in.
Nevertheless, the woman is more likely to
go for professional help way before the man
considers doing so, observes Dr Nthangi.
So how do you handle job anxiety?
Employers must rst of all be cautious not
to present such an opportunity too easily, say
the experts. Early and direct communication
with concerned staff helps to avert wild
imaginations that fuel the anxiety.

gender and youth quotas in its hiring
in the spirit of Kenyas policy.
Currently, there are 85 Chinese
employees working in the CRBC Kenya
office, together with 1,582 Kenyan
employees.
Local employees are largely engaged
in equipment operation, experiment,
survey, equipment maintenance and
project management, among others.
Started as a tripartite initiative by
Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda to create
an efficient and seamless railway
transport infrastructure and improve
competitiveness of the region and
especially the hinterland served by
Mombasa port (Northern Corridor),
the project has since been joined by
South Sudan.
Its aim is an SGR line running from
Mombasa to Kigali through Kampala. A
branch line to Juba is part of the plan.
Each country is expected to
implement its leg of the project.
For Kenya, Phase II will run from
Nairobi to Malaba, with a branch to
Kisumu.

L
ast week, we began a
discussion that described
three kinds of people the
film maker, the actor and the
pirate.
The film maker, we said,
determined the story. The actor
then executed what the film
maker had decided. The pirate
did nothing but copy what the
actor had executed.
Today, lets focus on the lm
maker. What attributes must a
person have to be a good film
maker?
Remember, he has to create
something from imagination.
That is very important.
Many people have rendered their
imagination unproductive because
they have been conned in their
comfort zones.
The greatest threat to your
becoming a lm maker will come
in the form of the best comfort.
Military strategists know that
an army is most vulnerable after
a major victory. This is because all
their defences are down and they
are likely to be in a celebratory
mood. They are comfortable.
Comfort is therefore one of
the biggest enemies of progress,
either for the individual or for the
organisation.
The ability to create discomfort
out of comfort is one that should
be coveted by all who want to stay
relevant and ahead of the game.
Comfort that is not challenged
becomes a peak. It becomes
a resting place. Nowhere is
vulnerability magnied as in the
resting place.
A person lying down in a
position of rest is at greater risk
than one who is walking.
A wild animal lying down in
rest after a meal is vulnerable and
easier to tackle than one that is in
motion and alert.
This must have been the
reasoning that inuenced Martin
Luther King Jnr to say, If you
cannot y, run. If you cannot run,
walk. If you cannot walk, crawl but
whatever you do, keep moving.
Comfort that is not challenged
becomes a limit. If we do not
challenge our comfort, all our
decisions will always be aimed at
promoting that comfort.
Comfort can be a very subtle
but wicked leader. It will dictate
and direct you and ensure that you
always stay within its connes.
People who are led by comfort
rarely achieve beyond their last
level of success.
Comfort blinds the eye to the
possibilities of new levels. It
deceives the mind to thinking
that there can be nothing greater
and better than the current state.
It convinces the mind that any
attempt to leave the current level
for the next will be too demanding
and risky.
Comfort is very possessive and
will do anything and everything to
keep you. Many have given up on
great opportunities because they
challenged their comfort.
Many people breathe but are not
living. They are slaves of comfort,
which denies them growth, yet
growth is a characteristic of
living things.
True living happens when we
defy comfort and dare it to the
face. Comfort will never let you
go freely. You will have to ght
for your independence.
Once there is room for dwelling
on the comfort with no discomfort
in sight, it triggers an atmosphere
of rest, which is in actual fact
a disguised atmosphere of
vulnerability.
In the classic tale, Who moved
My Cheese, by Dr Spencer Johnson,
we are told to keep smelling the
cheese to know when it is running
out.
With every successful step
you take, be it the launch of a
new product or service or a new
business altogether, or a new
step in your life, if you are not
able to create and induce a state
of discomfort, the probability of
longevity is greatly threatened.
Film makers step out of their
comfort to spend millions of
dollars to create something that
has not been tried and tested.
Some will become big while
others will stay small. However,
they do not let the experience of
a failed movie stop them from
making another one.
Its time to confront comfort and
move to the next level.
CHANGE TALKS | Guess what blinds your eyes to possibilities of new levels
Tell you what... comfort isnt that good
With every successful
step you take, be it
the launch of a new

altogether, if you are
not able to induce a
state of discomfort,
the probability of
longevity is greatly

Mr Simon Nyairo (in picture)
introduces himself as a Kaizen
coach and a lean practitioner. His
job as a consultant, he explains, is
to help minimise activities or events
that dont add value to work. So, if
there are habits that could be silently
chewing into your revenues around
the oce, Nyairo says he has ways
to detect and help deal with them.
We chatted him up recently to
understand the Kaizen and Hoshin
Kanri management principles, both
of them of Japanese origins, that he
so dearly love. Below are excerpts.

Q. What does it mean to be a
Kaizen coach?
Briefly, Kaizen is a Japanese
management system that
incorporates principles of waste
elimination.
In a typical work set-up, there
will be lots of non-value adding
activities. They are called muda.
This is a Japanese word for anything
that does not add value.
There are eight areas in which
muda occurs in any process. They
are spelt out by the acronym,
TIM WOODS, which stands
for Transportation, Inventory,
Motion, Waiting, Over-processing,
Overproduction, Defects, and Skills
(unexploited potential). It does not
matter whether you are in the service
or manufacturing industry. These
mudas apply across industries.
There is also mura. This is where
you have inconsistencies. Say you
are measuring a product and instead
of giving customers the required
250g consistently, you give some
300g, others 200g, and so on.
The third type of negative activity
is called muri. It means strain. If
workers are straining to hear or to
see, it is muri.
In Kaizen, which means change
for the better, we target these three
muda, mura, and muri. We aim to
reduce or eliminate them.
Q. How do you establish where
the muda, mura, and muri are?
We do an assessment of all the
processes in the organisation. We
speak to employees about how
they work. We look at employee
skill index. We also have standard
tests for productivity and eciency
of machines. After these and more,
we are able to give a detailed report,
which, if the client so wishes, can
use to implement necessary changes.
However, most clients prefer that we
help to implement the report.
The critical aspect of Kaizen is
that we are not talking about a
big turnaround at once, but small
improvements, which when you
review over a period, you see major
changes. This is critical because
sustainable change must never be
hurried. Often, you are dealing with
culture change.
Q. Given what youve just said,
it must be necessary that you go in
with technicians and engineers who
are able to assess the machines,
and perhaps psychologists to get
this intuition about the strains of
workers. Is that what you do?
Often, it is not possible or
even necessary to carry all these
people along. We use the internal
resources. For instance, we will
speak to HR and we will be able to
read between what they are saying.
As for machines, the good thing is
that there are standard ways of
calculating overall equipment
eectiveness (OEE).
Q. Share with us some striking
experiences in this undertaking.
There was this ower company
with subsidiaries in several
countries. The subsidiary in Uganda
used to lag behind on all aspects
quality, finance, staff turnover
etc. We went to Uganda to do all
those things pertaining to Kaizen.
Within one and a half years, all
the other sister companies were
running to Uganda to understand
the magic they had done. One of
the things we implemented was HK
(Hoshin Kanri). Thats the positive
scenario.
Now, theres this company in
which people started sabotaging
Kaizen, to the extent that it seemed
not to work. I realised that some
employees had this notion that
Kaizen would make them lose
their jobs. They saw that with
improved eciency, the company
would need less sta. The project
failed miserably because they got
it wrong. To me, when you become
lean, especially if you are a big
company, it is an opportunity to
expand even further.
Q. Lets talk about Hoshin Kanri.
You just mentioned it.
It originated from Japan, and
it tries to align all the eorts of
the workers to the vision of the
organisation. This is a very dicult
thing to do.
HK cascades the vision of
the organisation to what we call
Nichinjo Kanri, meaning daily work
management. When that tea girl in
the oce serves tea, how does her
action contribute to the vision of the
company? Somebody once asked a
sweeper at NASA what his job was.
He said: I am adding value to the
people who will go to the moon.
Thats what HK does. It helps
employees to understand how their
duties relate to the vision and the
mission of the organisation.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
Avoid confusion by taking situations in
their context. Isolating an event will not
give you the overall picture. Keeping
secrets may be dicult but is necessary.
Think of your own self-interest rst and
foremost.

PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
You may nd other people more than just a
little dicult, so try not to push them into
making serious decisions or commitments,
otherwise they may decide to jettison you
from their life.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
You dont want to be either besieged or
abandoned by people whose support you
need. But the fact that this has already
happened with various individuals seems
only to have sharpened your determination.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
It is quite natural when others come to you
with their doubts and anxieties to want to
look for solutions. But those concerned are
unlikely to take your advice until they have
dealt with their feelings themselves.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
The dicult circumstances you are facing
prove that there are no easy answers to be
found and that if you want to accomplish
anything at all you will simply have to think
quickly.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
You can be as understanding as you like
when it comes to the more abstract views
of certain people. But when it comes to
matters of business or nances as accented
by the recent aspects.

LEO| JULY 23 - AUG 22
If other people are not interested
in your ideas and suggestions, may
be to the extent of being downright
uncooperative, it may be because of a
genuine misunderstanding rather than an
unwillingness to go along with you.
VIRGO| AUG 23 - SEP 23
There seems to be a certain amount of luck
running through this day. However, you are
not the quickest sign of the Zodiac and
unless you leap into action as soon as lady
luck comes your way.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
You are usually fairly pragmatic and would
never allow even intense emotions to
distract you from your duties or obligations.
Right now, however, you may begin to feel
more sympathy for the way other people
are aected.
SCORPIO| OCT 24 - NOV 22
Harmony, especially in matters of a delicate
nature is vital to most of you. Keep in mind,
however, that others dont necessarily place
the same value on calm as you do.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
You can aord to be exible over
dierences with loved ones or those you
work with on a day today basis. However,
when it comes to maters to do with money
or your reputation you have no choice but
to take a tough line.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
You have a lively mind and a direct way
of dealing with things .They adore you for
your honesty although they may be slightly
astonished by the speed of your routine
at this time.

And so I asked Dad and he
said Odinga was a great man and
he died in 1994, and then he went
blank and said, Tomorrow Ill tel the
story, but that was it! Grandpa, I
really want to know about Oginga
Odinga.
Grand, please dont tell Dad
and Mum that I said they have
been unable to tell me the story
of Odinga, they will be very angry
with me.
When is your birthday, Grandpa?
And when is Grandmothers
birthday? Caleb and I have been
saving money to buy you shades
but I think we should buy you a
mobile phone. Uncle Ochieng gave
us 2000/=. This was a birthday
present for the two of us because,
as you know, Caleb and I share a
birthday. We are still saving this
money.
Caleb wants to know how your
dogs are doing. Do they have
puppies? He wants a strong black
male puppy. would you bring him
one?
How are Grandmothers
chicken? I would like to keep some.
I would also like to keep big cows
like the ones you have. The only
problem is that we get home
from school late and there is a lot
of homework to do. I must also
help Ciru with washing dishes and
cooking supper. Caleb also helps.
About this letter with the story
of Oginga Odinga, please send it
soon. You know what, I looked at a
history book we have in the house
on Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. I
could not go beyond the rst ve
pages but you see, I am better than
Caleb because at least I tried. The
book was boring and hard to read.
I think it was written for grown-ups.
Just a bunch of boring facts. Gosh!
What a boring book! I wish I could
read a story about Oginga Odinga
which is as interesting as the story I
read about Elijah Masinde.
Grandpa, it is nearly seven
oclock. I must run to the kitchen
and help Ciru make supper. You of
course know Ciru. She is very kind
to us. Caleb and I are very fond of
her.
Dont forget Grand. I am waiting
for the story of Oginga Odinga.
Pass our greetings to
Grandmother.
Your loving grand-daughter,
Martha.

Q: Tell us briey about your early life.
A: I was born in the UK about 30 years
ago. My Kenyan father and Zambian
mother both worked in Britain but moved
to Kenya when I was a child. I went to St
Marys School for my primary and second-
ary education and while there, I continued
developing my musical talent, thanks to
my teachers. I played the violin and also
started writing songs.
Q: Where did you go from St Marys?
A: After my O levels, I went to Aga Khan
Academy, Nairobi, for my A levels, and
then to the UK, where I studied law from
2001. I graduated in 2004 and have never
practised law.
Q: While in the UK, did you
have anything to do with
music?
A: I found myself joining
friends who were into mu-
sic and as I accompanied
them to dierent studios
and learned from them,
especially one called Mark. He
was a producer and taught
me to play dierent
musical instruments
as well as write
songs. By the
time I returned to
Kenya in 2004, I
was well versed
in music.
Q: What is
your driving
force?
A: I heeded our
leaders warnings
not to bank our
future on white-
collar jobs and
since I was aware
of the situation on
the ground, I pre-
pared myself for any
eventuality. Through
sheer determina-
tion, I have gradually
grown into the well-
rounded artiste and
songwriter I am. I
have written for
several projects, both local and interna-
tional. As an artiste I easily weave between
genres but still produce enjoyable music
with a familiar sound. The end product is
something I call commercially credible.
By aptly using literary devices and clever
word play, I endeavour to push creativity.
Q: What have you been working on re-
cently?
A: With the recent success of the hit sin-
gles, Get Low, and its follow up, Kata, 2012
saw me release my debut album, From
Nairobi To You, on my independent label,
Origarmi Boy Ltd. This year I am proud
to have managed to release 2 By 2 and a
single, Paint the Town Red, a collabo with
Amina, a presenter at Homeboyz FM.
Q: What are your future plans?
A: I intend to work hard to become one
of the top artistes in the world. I know
such success can not just come on a silver
platter. As an only child, I have had to work
hard and diligently since my school days
to avoid disappointing my mother and my
fans. I have criss-crossed the country to
sing. I have been to Voi, Mombasa, Keri-
cho, Malindi, Meru, Eldoret, Nakuru,
and western Kenya. I have yet to go to
Machakos and Embu, but I will go back
to Meru because they are very serious
fans of my music. And the sky is going
to be the limit.
Q: Have you ever gone back
to the UK for a concert or
to record?
A: Yes, I went back to
learn more music and
also perform with
friends. Things were
not bad since I con-
tinued writing and
singing. This led to
the release of my
debut free mixtape in
2006, which was well
received, prompting me
to release my second
mixtape in 2007. It won
me new fans. It sold out
and led to performances
in Africa, the US, and vari-
ous venues around the UK.
My video with the song
Baadaye has topped various
charts and featured promi-
nently in various radio and
television stations in East
Africa and the UK.

BE FAMOUS.
B
oneless Thyaka is one
of the most famous
break dancers in the
region. Boneless is
remarkable for his
piercings and tattoos.
The dancer and tattoo artiste now
has a hit song, Supasta, which fuses
Kamba and house rhythms.
Last year, you released the song
Supasta. Does this mean you have
given up dancing?
I can never stop dancing. I
have learnt something new, so
now I am also a singer. You know,
dance and song complement
each other.
Why music and how has the going
been?
My singing career is shaping
up well. I released my third sin-
gle, Kelitu, which means woman,
last month. I do music because I
am an artiste. There is a market
for my kind of music. No one was
doing it in Kenya and we needed
a ag bearer.
And what is your style?
Afro-house music, Kamba
house music, to be precise.
Who inspired you?
I have grown to like the
type of music that makes
you dance, so I will go with
Flo Rida, DJ Cleo, and
Michael Jackson.
Are you dating?
I am married and a
father.
Are you ever going to give up the
nose ring?
Never! Why should I?
If you were not break dancing,
what would you be doing?
I would probably be a tattoo
artiste or a choreographer.
How long have you been dancing
and are you still doing it?
I started dancing as soon as
I could walk, but professionally
since 2002. I still dance and I can
say that it is part of my life.
When did you rst see popping?
In 1984, when the movie,
Breakin, hit the cinemas.
How old were you then?
I was nine.
Who inuences you the most?
When it comes to dancing,
Michael Jackson tops the list.
Nobody is ever going to do the
moonwalk as well as he did;
the solos he used to do in the
middle of his video songs were
always fascinating. I draw a lot
from him.
Do you think breakdancing
is dead?
I do not think it is
dead. The dance
scene is con-
stantly changing and while new
styles keep coming up, there are
some styles that will never be for-
gotten. Breakdance is timeless.
What are your practice sessions
like?
I practise dancing skills when-
ever I am not in the studio mak-
ing music. I have to dance for
half an hour if I am preparing for
a show and I always spice it up
with new moves, something to
awe the audience.
What plans do you have for the
future?
I want to impact on aspiring
artistes, and especially danc-
ers, to live positively.
Not everyone is
book smart.
There are people
who have chosen
art as their career.
They are dancers
and singers and my aim
is to create a positive im-
pression for the youth to
know that they can earn
a living from art. One
day I would like to own
a centre where I can
train people to become
professional dancers.
How have you devel-
oped your breakdancing
style?
I am unique because I ow
as if I do not have bones. I
am very flexible and being a
choreographer means originality
is also key. I watch other dance
shows and programmes just to
keep up, but I always choose my
own styles and music.
What was the rst move you ever
did?
I remember I started with the
moonwalk, then moved on to
other moves.
What is the worst injury you have
ever suered?
I once sprained my neck after
a badly executed head spin. I was
just learning that move when
my head stopped spinning and
I twisted my neck. Fortunately, it
was just a sprain.
How do you judge breakdancing
competitions? What do you look
for?
I look for uidity or what most
people refer to as exibility, tech-
nicality of execution of moves
and originality.
What advice would you give an
upcoming break dancer?
The most important advice is
that you should stand out so that
everybody wants to be like you.
Learn the foundation, that is, the
basics, so you can build it on your
own and take this dance in your
own direction.

the goss!
This year has been the best for Elani yet, from

TRENDING TOPICS

THE CRME DE
LA CRME OF
KENYAN BANDS
In a country where music has long been viewed as a
hobby, Kenya has seen some stellar bands come up in
the past few years. The longevity, diversity, and maturity
of the scene have continued to tantalise, with almost
every genre of music now well represented and mas-
tered by its craftsmen. Maverick artistes such as the Ma-
roon Commandoes and Daudi Kabaka have handed over
the baton to a new crop of newbies, who have managed
to resourcefully fuse their predecessors style with the
la mode demands of todays global music scene.
SAUTI SOL
The quartet made up of Bien Aim Baraza, Polycarp
Otieno, Willis Austin Chimano, and Delvin Mudigi has be-
come Kenyas internationally renowned band. The four
have grown to heights many Kenyan artistes only dream
about. They formed the band in 2005 and have since
performed at some of the greatest events in Africa such
as the Big Brother Africa Reality Show (2012) in South
Africa and the introductory Africa Magic Viewers Choice
Awards (2013) held in Nigeria. The band, known for its
inclination towards romantic odes, recently released the
controversial music video of Nishike .
ELANI
The trio of Wambui Ngugi, Brian Chweya, and Maureen
Muthoni has taken the music world by storm. What
is surprising about this likeable three is that they
have been around for nearly 10 years. They started o
performing at Rhythm & Spoken at Dass Ethiopian
restaurant, the Kenya National Theatre, and Alliance
Franaise. Now the world has taken notice of the three
outstanding talents that are making some great music.
The band released its rst album in December last year,
to a splendid reception. Their songs, Jana Usiku, Milele,
and more recently, Kookoo, have an undying intelligence
and have captivated audiences across borders. Elani has
been dubbed the most promising Kenyan band of 2014.
With the kind of music it is making, it is only a matter of
time before its success blossoms.
SARABI
This band, formed in 2005 by eight young men from
slums in Eastlands in Nairobi, keeps going strong. They
have headlined some of the leading regional festivals
and graced television screens with their beautiful music,
which blends traditional African tunes, benga, and a bit
of Western music. The band continues to grow and has
collaborated with famous artistes such as Juliani. The
musicians do not shy from topical issues, as the song
Sheria illustrates. And like Sauti Sol and Elani, Sarabi can
only get better.

Gossip site TMZ has
released a surveillance tape
taken in a hotel elevator in
New York. On the tape is a
more than three-minute ght,
or should I say beat down, in-
volving Jay Z and Solange. The
latter is Beyonces younger
sister. She physically attacked
Jay Z and had to be physically
restrained by a bodyguard,
who at some point stopped
the elevator, ostensibly to es-
tablish order before the group
got to the ground oor.
During the mele, Beyonc
is just standing there. She
neither tries to help stop the
ght nor encourages it. Very
bizarre. After they left the
elevator, the sisters travelled
in a separate car from Jay Z.
Since the release of the tape,
there has been a lot of specu-
lation as to what could have
set Solange o.
Here are the funniest:
Solange: This elevator isnt
going anywhere.
Jay Z: Just like your career.
******
Solange: Can I sing back-up
at the tour?
Jay Z: You got to learn how to
sing rst.
Mortal Combat voice: Finish
him!
******
Ive got 99 problems and a
sister-in-law is one.
******
Even Michelle sold more al-
bums than you.
******
Eat the cake, Anne Mae.
******
You cant stay in our base-
ment anymore.
******
Dont hate on Blue Ivy for
making one more hit song
than you.
******
Yo Solange! Imma let you
nish but Beyonce is the best
Knowles of all time!
*******
My lips are bigger than your
entire career.
********
Solanges occupation: Singer,
songwriter, model, actress,
kicker, street ghter, Jay Zs
100th problem.
Once the laughs subside,
there is another very seri-
ous underlying problem
here. Had Jay Z hit back,
they would be sending him
to spend time with Chris
Brown in his jail cell, but no
one is talking about charging
Solange with assault.
So, is it okay for a woman
to hit a man? Why does soci-
ety overlook men as victims
of domestic violence? I be-
lieve all forms of abuse, phys-
ical or emotional, against boy
or girl, are wrong.
I know someone in an emo-
tionally abusive relationship.
If her man is upset with her,
he uses emotional distanc-
ing, the silent treatment,
isolation, emotional aban-
donment, and neglect as a
form of punishment. He will
always play the victim and
deect blame instead of tak-
ing responsibility for his own
actions and attitudes.
Boundaries
He will never pick up the
phone to call her but will
punish her if she does not
get in touch with him. He
always has boundaries that
she cannot cross but will
deny valid requests that she
makes even things that are
important for her spiritual
growth.
He will accuse her of some-
thing contrived in his mind
even when he knows it is not
true. He constantly treats
her as if she is inferior to him
and makes cruel comments,
accusing her of adding no
value to his life apart from
noise.
This week, he broke it o.
Even that did not warrant
the courtesy of a phone call.
A curt text message is all she
got. I said to her that her
feelings for him aside, this is
a good thing.
When a girl is in love she
cannot see what the rest of
us can that God some-
times removes people from
your life to protect you. Do
not run after them.

When a man
attacks a woman,
he is swiftly sent
to the cooler, but
when it is the
other way round,
nothing happens.
Why?

FRANKFOOT By Frank Midega
Aye, Manchester City have it. Thirty-
eight games, 102 goals, 201 fans, and a billion
petrodollars later, they are the English cham-
pions for the second time in three years. This
time there were no sideshows, no training
ground ghts, no mutinies from the bench,
no ill-advised, mid-season golng jaunts; just
relentless attacking football masterminded
by the meek man they call The Engineer, and
carried out by the hulk with the feet of a bal-
let dancer, Yaya Tour, who clocks in with 20
goals. Not bad for what the former City leg-
end, Didi Hammann, called a liability.
They also had to thank the slip by Mr We
dont let this *expletive* slip of Liverpool FC,
the also-rans, the nearly-men. It is only too
human and fair to have this warm, fuzzy feel-
ing of schadenfreude with a dash of bar-room
trivia. Like how Kenya was still a one-party
dictatorship stuck in an economic black hole
when the Premier League trophy was last
seen at Aneld.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and their not-so-special
-one continue to blame everybody but them-
selves for not winning the title: Referees, no
strikers, old strikers, loaned-out players, global
warming, Barack Obama, Beyonc, Beyoncs
sister, Beyonces sisters punches, Beyonces
sisters kicks, yetis, Santa Claus. Like a journey
to Mutomo, the list is endless. Solanges at-
tacking literally beats Chelseas front threes.
Also, fourth place is not a trophy; if it were,
Peter Kenneth would have been our president.
Here are Frankfoots end of season awards:
Best goal: Jack Wilsheres goal v Norwich. I
have always had it for Arsenal, but give credit
where it is due. This goal was it slick pass-
ing, amazing movement, icks, tricks, and
feints that had the Norwich defence watching
a Houdini special.
Best match: The ercely contested Mer-
seyside derby at Goodison Park. Two bitter
local rivals who gave it their all, attack and
counter-attack, with a urry of crunching
tackles, late goals, and that hideous Sturridge
dance for an exhilarating 3-3 draw. They were
bloodied, bruised, but unbowed. Not a bad
advertisement for the self-styled best league
in the world.
Best player: By a light year, it has to be the
buck-toothed racist we all love to hate. And
he did not have to bite anyone to do it.
Best manager: Crystal Palace were no
hoppers when Ian Holloway, hugely popular
with the press because of the foot-constantly-
in-the-mouth syndrome, left them in the
doldrums, but Tony Pulis reinvigorated the
squad without resorting to the one-dimen-
sional agricultural football he is well known
for. Honourable mention goes to Gus Poyet,
who took over a mutinous dressing room and
masterminded Sunderlands great escape.
Best quote: Has to be Jose Mourinho when
confronted about a certain referee whom he
claims has had it in for Chelsea. He refereed
that game too? No, I did not know that. What
a coincidence.
Worst player: When you somehow cost
more than some of the best players on the
planet (no thanks to a botched transfer plan
by a rookie CEO), brought in by the only man-
ager who seems to have a clue about what
you can do, it is not dicult to expect a little
more. But then again, you go oundering and
disappearing in the middle of the pitch, your
limited qualities made only too recognisable
by your ridiculous hairdo. Marouane Fellaini,
you have failed not just your club, but your
hair as well.
Worst manager: It is not the head-butting
Alan Pardew who makes it to the top, but
rather, the man who turned two of the most
likeable lads in football in Chicharito and
Danny Welbeck into sour grinches, with a
general lack of tactical acumen and all-round
cluelessness: David Moyes, this one is for you.
To the FA Cup. Arsenal seem to have it
sewn up. I mean, really, Hull City? (or is it the
Tigers?) But then again, I could be wrong.
Cue shades of Birmingham City in 2011.
ITS TIME FOR END-OF-SEASON AWARDS
DK Kwenye Beat went for bold colours to
stand out on stage.

ALL PHOTOS I BONIFACE NYAGA
T
he only thing that is worse
than getting cold and wet in
Eldoret is getting frozen
by concert security. I had
the misfortune of showing
up without my credentials.
People expect us to keep them safe,
but they dont like to be searched at the
gate, Safaricom security ocer Ronald
Ngala explained. We have three layers
of security, Kenya Police, G4S, and the
Safaricom security team.
From snier dogs that can detect guns
and bombs, numerous screening areas,
and barbed wire to CCTV cameras,
nothing was left to chance.
Fans showed up in their hundreds to
see their favourite gospel acts and they
got their ll. I think Size 8 has been
receiving a few karate lessons. But Ba-
hati is denitely the new sweetheart of
gospel music, I do not know why, but
people just seem to love that kid.

BE FAMOUS.
Like many Kenyan women,
belonging to a chama quanties
me some do not ask how; it
just does. Chamas are largely
responsible for uplifting the lives
of Kenyan women. It has become
such a huge industry that banks
are falling over themselves to
come up with packages to woo
chama women. When I go for
my chama meetings, we stick to
the business of the day nding
ways to make ourselves richer
than our better halves and to
gossip. Nothing harmful there, if
you ask me.
I am well aware that some
women use chama days as an
excuse to catch up on some ex-
tra-marital aairs. I received an
email from a female reader with
all the sordid details of some of
the things that go on in the name
of chama recreational activities.
It left me feeling... bored, but if
there was one time I ever was
happy to be bored, it was after
reading that email.
Below is an excerpt, edited, of
course, for family consumption.
The background of this is chama,
the four women got together as
members but boy, oh boy, has it
become drama galore!
What started as an ego trip
is now spiralling into a mess.
We have ended up each with a
boyfriend outside our marriages
and of the four of us, two have al-
ready been busted by their other
halves, and yet that has not been
enough to stop us.
Trysts with young guys
We have resorted to quick
afternoon romps as we cover for
each other. After getting our hus-
bands to build our dream homes
and lives, we have resorted to
spending our afternoons in
small, seedy bedsitters with our
boyfriends. We abandon our
family cars to hop into unmarked
taxi cabs to take us to meet our
lovers.
One of us is moving around
with a married, younger guy,
yet she has a husband. Our
boyfriends hardly ask us for
money, but that hardly makes
them friends because they are
after illicit sexual release. Our
phone calls and conversations
revolve around such adolescent
topics like where have you
been? How come your phone
is not working? Why didnt you
call me? What time did you wake
up? nothing of substance. I
believe we are
in this game
to reinforce our
sexuality as we go
through our mid-life
crisis.
We are entering a danger-
ous stage we go on two-day
holidays out of Nairobi with our
boyfriends. The boyfriends can-
not aord the accommodation
we are used to, which leaves us,
the women, to foot the bills with
our husbands money. Imagine
what would happen if our hus-
bands found out. In a twisted
way, we pretend to ourselves, but
our heart, which is the most im-
portant, is still with our families
and husbands. However, I often
wonder if that is really true.
Other than having our regu-
lar side dishes, we sometimes
go bar- and club-hopping in the
city and irt and dance the night
away. We lie to our husbands that
it was just a girls night out, yet
we were being caressed by all
sorts of men. Peer pressure is a
terrible thing and getting out of
this mess is getting harder for
each one of us.
Shocking, eh? First things
rst: Girlfriend, do not blame
peer pressure if you are ap-
proaching middle age, peer pres-
sure is not an option or excuse
for you; that we leave to those
below 25 years. Having said that,
I believe you are crying for help.
I shall leave the other readers to
oer it.

S
he has gained
recognition as
one of the key
people shaping
and changing the
texture of Ken-
yan lm through immersive
storytelling. Serah Mwihakis
involvement in the script for
Nairobi Half Life was instru-
mental in creating Kenyas
rst successful crime thriller.
Before this she worked
on the popular TV series,
Changes, and is now behind
another lm project involving
John Kiriamitis novel, My Life
in Crime. I decided to nd out
what it is about her approach
to scriptwriting that has made
her work break boundaries,
both locally and internation-
ally.
Life before Half Life
Serah was born in Nairobi
and attended Alliance Girls
High School. She began the
search for her dream career
after high school. This search
saw her take several jobs that
were nothing close to her cur-
rent profession in lm. She
studied accounting before
working as a travel and tour
agent, then an agrovet.
It would have been easy
to stick to these mundane
and seemingly secure career
lines were she not convinced
that her future belonged in
the world of performing arts.
The rst step to realising this
dream was to enrol in a media
college, where she studied lm
production for two years.
Her two-year sojourn in col-
lege propelled Serah into the
lm industry, where she found
opportunities for her creative
ambitions starting with a
short internship in Tanzania
at GTV.
However, Serahs critical
entry into the spotlight of
Kenyan lm was in Dangerous
Aair, a lm whose script was
written by Njeri Karago. She
acted as Rose in the lm and
starred alongside actress Nini
Wacera. In what came to be
considered a grand tangent
in Kenyan film, Dangerous
Aair explored the scandal-
ous intrigues of metropolitan
relationships when a man
nds himself caught between
his family commitments and
the demands of his mpango
wa kando.
Due to the massive atten-
tion the film attracted for
presenting a fresh, yet so-
cially reective story, Serah
stood out as an outstanding
personality in lm at the start
of the new millennium. Her
acting repertoire bloomed as
she featured in a number of
internationally produced lms
including The Garden of Eden
and The Constant Gardener,
where she acted alongside A-
list Hollywood actors Ralph
Fiennes and Rachel Weisz.
At the same time, she was
strengthening her production
skills, working on a number of
documentaries and taking the
job of production coordinator
at Baraka Films. With this
experience in production and
acting, it was soon time for
her to write her own stories.
A major turning point in
Serahs TV production career
came when she won a compe-
tition by M-Net for producing
winning TV series, Changes,
the evening show that caught
the attention of many Ken-
yan viewers as it featured a
number of well-known faces
in Kenyan theatre and televi-
sion, including Jimmy Gathu
and Fareed Khimani. While
working on Changes, Serah
got to cross paths once again
with Tosh Gitonga, who would
play a critical role in her future
lmmaking achievements.
Dangerous Aair
Tosh had been involved in
Serahs rst project as an ac-
tress, Dangerous Aair. At that
time, he was working behind
the scenes in the marketing
department, but this time
round he came back in a more
central role as the director of
Changes.
During the production of
the second season, the two
filmmakers learnt about an
annual film workshop or-
ganised by Tom Tykwer, the
celebrated German director
behind the sci- blockbuster,
Cloud Atlas.
They signed up for it and
ended up working together
once again on Nairobi Half
Life. Given Serahs extensive
experience, she was favoured
as one of the three writers to
work on the screenplay. Even
with her experience, it was not
an easy ride for Serah and it
was going to be her rst crime
thriller.
Serah recalls that it was
three months since the title
and premise of Nairobi Half
Life were decided, yet not a
single word of dialogue had
been produced. It was de-
nitely a challenge, but in the
end it was one she relished
taking up. I remember going
to watch them shoot on the
last day and it was amazing to
watch everyone work hard to
bring the story to life.
We were lucky with the
actors. They understood their
characters and played them
brilliantly, she says.
Her favourite characters in
Nairobi Half Life? This is a
dicult one. Its almost like
asking a mother to pick a
favourite child. I love Mwas
because hes a multi-faceted
character who stops at noth-
ing to achieve his goals.

throws at him, he rises above
it and shines. Hes not afraid
to do what it takes even when
that means getting dirt on his
hands. At the same time, he

NAGGING
KILLS!
MY LIFE IN CRIME Writer John Kiriamitis famous book is getting
the movie treatment. The book is a rst-person narrative about life
as a criminal in post-colonial Kenya.
T
he biggest news of the
week went unnoticed: No
hype on social media, no
hashtag treatment, and
I did not hear anyone
discussing it on morning
radio. I am talking about a report that
revealed that women are reportedly
nagging their husbands to death.
Pause. How serious is that? I bet
even police chief David Kimaiyo must
have missed it because he might just
have ordered everyone to remove
curtains and tinted windows in their
homes to enable the police to see any
man who is being nagged to death in
his own home.
The report, released by a team of
Danish scientists, says that men who
are subjected to their wives nagging
and constant demands and worries
are twice as likely to die than young
men who are less stressed.
Nagging, according to the diction-
ary, means constantly harassing
someone to do something. Now, I
do not know about you, but I thought
these 21-year-old girls nag more than
wives, so I would have expected that
those second and third years who
date these girls were at higher risk
of dying.
But you cannot argue with
scientists now, can you?
They interviewed 10,000 men and
women between the ages of 36 and
52 in Denmark on the dynamics of
their relationships and asked who
made the most demands and caused
the most conict. The research found
that 315 out of 100,000 deaths could
be caused by the stress of sharing
your spouses worries.
I do not know about you, but I
believe that Al-Shabaab might start
recruiting women to nag their un-
suspecting husbands to death. I am
only focusing on women because the
Danish scientists did not say anything
about women being nagged to death
by their husbands.
At this rate, a man can divorce his
wife, citing health reasons. You go to
court and tell the judge that while she
is a good wife and, probably, mother,
she is not good for you because you
have a feeling that you are less than a
month away from your death because
of her nagging.
I am not married, so I do not have
the pressure of knowing what nagging
is, but if it is what I see girls doing
when they are drunk, then it is scary.
Girl and her boyfriend walk into the
club at around 10pm. They are calm
and collected. All the seats are taken,
so the guy does what every gentle-
man does, goes looking for chairs and
leaves her standing in some corner.
He gets the seats and they settle
down and order drinks. She asks for
Snapp or Smirno Ice, he asks for a
Heineken. The rst boti goes down
fast, so they signal the waiter to bring
more drinks.
The more alcohol she gets into her
system, the chattier she gets and be-
fore long, every song is her favourite.
When they walked in, she looked
at the guy selling sausage choma
and almost threw up, but you
will be surprised just how much
hungrier one gets after drinking.
An hour later, she is calling the
waiter, Excuse, ambia msee wa
choma alete sausage nne na aweke
kachumbari kiasi, sio mob sana kama
last time.
Wait a minute, there was a last
time? Could have fooled me. After
eating the four sausages, she asks for
boiled eggs.
With her tummy full and throat
watered, she can now sing along to
John Legends All of You as if her life
depends on it. She is usually o-key
and hits levels that only dogs can ap-
preciate, but she is undeterred; This
is my jaaaaaaaaaaaam, she howls.
She also remembers that her phone
has a camera and wants to take a
picture with every friend of hers so
that she can post it on FB later with
the caption, BFFs, jana was too too
much fun
However, in the middle of all this
fun, there is a problem; the waiter
will not come when she calls him and
now she wants Jamo the boyfriend
to go summon him. Of course,
Jamo will not go and assures her that
he will call the waiter in a minute.
About 35 seconds later and she is
wondering why Jamo will not listen
to her and she is so angry, she wants
to go home.
Jamo, who is busy ogling other
girls, runs to the waiter and comes
back holding two Smirno Ice drinks,
but there is a problem: I dont want
it cold, I want it warm-ish, she says.
He gives her one of those looks you
all gave Kimaiyo when you thought
he said all cars with tinted windows
would be impounded.
Somehow, Jamo convinces her
that the drinks are warm-ish and
she drinks. After a few sips, she now
wants shots of tequila and Sambuca
because, I dont feel high enough.
Of course, this is not based on
real-life experience, but if married
women nag more than that, then
marriage really is a nightmare and
maybe some of these husbands are
taking their own lives just to avoid it.

only hope to do the same with

How to write an internation-
ally acclaimed script
Serah usually starts with the
characters. Every storyteller
is drawn to dierent kinds of
stories. Im drawn by people-
driven stories.
Her characters are devel-
oped at the same time as her
story. She usually delves into
her story outline, which she
puts in the form of a draft
script.
She then presents it to a
person with an eye for good
scripts for a nal opinion. In
her view, a good script is one
whose characters are appeal-
ing (even the bad ones), plot
is compelling and riveting,
and dialogue is funny and
interesting. Clever and non-
superuous dialogue makes
for good shows.
Kenyan stories
And also character-driven
dialogue people have certain
similar phrases but they dont
all speak the same such as
when reacting to a situation,
she states.
With the increase in Kenyan
film content, a debate has
been brewing over whether
Kenyan lms should be made
differently (for a Kenyan
audience, some say) or with
a Western approach. In Ser-
ahs view, neither the African
movie industry nor Hollywood
is structured to operate in to-
tal isolation. I would suggest
that we borrow what works
from the Hollywood way of
lmmaking and marry it with
our African heritage.
I doubt that one who was
born and bred here can suc-
cessfully mimic the Hollywood
aesthetic. Our experiences
and surroundings influence
our thinking which, in turn,
inuences our lms. What Id
encourage that we mimic from
Hollywood is their marketing
and ability to create hype
around their lms.
Her sentiments are reected
in the Nairobi Half Life script,
whose narrative is a mixture
of the familiar American
crime gang stories and Nairo-
bis daily underground hustle.
Because of this intricate
blend, the story won the
hearts of many Kenyan movie
bus.
Serah says, Im a fan of
telling stories that resonate
with the target audience. For
instance, living in Africa my
stories are inuenced by the
African way, but for an Af-
rican whos bred in a global
environment, having lived
abroad and interacted mainly
with global citizens, then that
will denitely inuence their
stories. Instead of saying that
we should all use one collec-
tive method such as African vs
Hollywood, I say spread your
wings and y.
Serahs journey as a screen-
writer has progressed over
time and she believes that the
results are worth it. Like any
profession, there are good and
bad days. Id say its blood,
sweat, and tears, but very
fullling.

ASK CINDY
cindym254@gmail.com
Dear Cindy,
I hate my job, yet I have a lifestyle to
maintain and I am afraid of quitting. I am
not married yet, but I have an expensive
lifestyle. What shall I do? Joseph.

So you spend your days doing something
you really hate, then you blow it all away?
Seriously, there is something very wrong
with that. But there is hope. You are still
single. That means that if you really had
the will, you could do this now. Consider
this: You spend more time at work than
anywhere else, meaning that if you are not
happy at work, you are spending most of
your time unhappy. You have to take risks
in life if you want to change a situation and
you need to make sacrices if you want
things to get better. It means, you need to
get out there and look for a job you like,
and you need to live in a way that does not
make you do things you would rather not
do. Nobody ever died from cutting their
expenditure. All the best.

Dear Cindy,
I am a house help, not by choice but be-
cause I am an orphan. I only went up to
Standard Eight. Now, there is a doctor
who is interested in me. I do not under-
stand why. I think he just wants to use me
because there are so many women of his
class out there.
Jennie.

Your self-worth is at rock bottom, isnt
it? Here is the thing: Although education
is quite important (not necessarily in a
relationship), it is not the most important
thing. Perhaps he sees your humility, per-
haps he sees things that you do not see in
yourself. However, you are right to be cau-
tious. There is no time limit to this, so this is
what you do: First, tell him about your life.
If he still wants to know you, tell him about
your fears. If he still wants to know you,
tell him to give you time as you two get to
know each other better. If he still wants to
know you, tell him to introduce you to his
relatives and dare to tell them what you
do for a living and all that stu because
his relatives have the power to make your
life miserable. In short, take it extremely
slowly until you are absolutely sure. There
is always more to a woman than just edu-
cation. All the best.

rocker
We all know the ABCs of
rock music: Guitars, drums, and
bass. Sometimes we do not have
the drums and bass guitar, so what
we have instead is an unplugged
guitar and some kumbaya vocals.
At this point we call it an acoustic
song.
But of course, people who do not
listen to rock would not know the
dierence. So the rst question I
always ask people who complain
that Kenyan rock sounds like rock
from abroad is does this make it
a bad thing? If it does not sound
like rock at all, then what is the
point of calling it Kenyan rock. We
might as well call it Kenyan stu.
Last year, ParkingLotGrass
got bombarded with questions by
journalists in Germany about their
style. For some reason, they felt
that it was not African enough. At
that point, it was easy to fall into
the trap of admitting that yes,
their sound was not much dier-
ent from what we get elsewhere
(the Metallicas, the Papa Roaches,
and the Trapts). But after looking
through their EP, I realised that
they had every reason to claim that
they were dierent. In fact, they
invented a style.
Swa rock
If you have listened to Shimo
Mfukoni and Speed Chaser, then you
know that the debate on whether
Kiswahili can work in a rock song is
over. Those two songs happen to be
the most brilliant creations to have
come out of ParkingLotGrasss
debut EP. Whether or not the band
will carry on in that direction with
their new vocalist is something we
will have to wait to see. Interest-
ingly, Murfys fLaw also caught the
swa rock bug in their album, Ma-
kosa, with their songs, Nafasi and
A Ha, and proved that Swa rock is
truly a Kenyan rock sub-genre.
Kikuyu rock
At one point, there was a joke
among the Kenyan rock fans Face-
book group. Terms like bengacore
and Kikuyu symphonic metal were
bandied around as if they could
never exist. Then last month an
artiste known as Kanyeki released
a video for his Kikuyu rock track,
Ndingihota Kutariria, on YouTube
and ended the joke. After a few
rounds on social media and more
than 2,000 views on YouTube, it
was ocial that guys loved it.
Genge rock
I know. It sounds unbelievably
corny, but then
you think of
Linkin Park and
Public Enemy.
They got the same
bad rap when they tried
rap metal (no pun intended).
Nobody believed rap and metal
could merge. It seemed like an
epic clash of harmony. But after a
few years, rap metal bands became
something of a phenomenon. Park-
ingLotGrass has tried something
close to rap rock with their remix
of P-Units Kare, something I call
genge rock. I was just as sceptical
at rst, but after listening to it, I
realised that genge and rock (and
particularly punk) could actually
work. And when I think about it,
I should have seen it coming after
hearing the lead guitar in Julianis
Exponential Potential. (I should
have seen the potential. No?)
So, boys and girls of Kenyas fu-
ture rock bands, go crazy with your
instruments and talent. You might
not be able to sing, you might not
be good in English, but that should
be the last thing stopping you from
rocking out.

MEET LYDIA
GITACHU
Theatre Personality of the Week Lydia
Gitachu

Q.We have not seen you on the silver
screen for some time, what have you
been up to?
A. I have been acting in Africa Magic
movies as well as directing for stage. One
of the movies I acted in, Emergence, im-
pressed the producers and they sent me as
their ambassador to present an award at
the AMVCAs in Lagos, Nigeria. I am also a
karaoke host, so, busy, busy.
Q. Stage or silver screen?
A. I am passionate about it, but a girls got
to eat and screen puts better quality bread
on my table and a heftier cheque in my
bank account.
Q. Where do you hope to be in ve years?
A. I want to be running my own theatre
company as a producer/director.
Q. What do you do when you are not
acting?
A. I love books, so I read a lot. I also
spend time with my family, especially my
grandmother. I also travel out of town with
friends.
Q. What do you do to unwind?
A. I relax with a glass of wine, watch mov-
ies, do karaoke, and dance.
Q. How would you deal with an uneasy
audience, for instance, if an actor was
late?
A. An uneasy audience needs reassurance,
from the stage manager or the managing
director to the actors, then give them a
show they will never forget. If the audience
is with you from beginning to end, their
unease will go out the window.

BE FAMOUS.
M
ost of my friends and
acquaintances think
I am a very strange
person because I can
spend whole days, or
even weeks, at home.
They always blink once or twice
before asking me whether I am
normal because, to them, spending
a day at home is akin to dying a slow
death. What can I say? I am part bat.
As such, I occasionally nd myself
averse to normal human habits
such as drawing back the curtains
every morning, combing my hair,
and even getting out of my night-
clothes before noon. Sometimes I
even forget to brush my teeth. Dis-
gusting? Oh yes! At the same time, I
nd it oddly liberating.
I partly blame this on the incredibly
dull school holidays I had during my
childhood. Whenever a term began
and we were asked to write a compo-
sition about our time away, I would
be left blank because, while others
wrote about going to Mombasa,
Hells Gate, and an assortment of lo-
cal destinations, I would be thinking,
How can I make watching Cartoon
Network all day interesting? In the
end, I always lied. I made sure to sell
the story by using really big adjec-
tives like a grandiloquent house
or walking with gusto, all the while
imagining the teacher reading my
essay out loud in front of the class
and everyone laughing in admiration.
That was the life.
Unfortunately, some of my past en-
thusiasm for impractical vocabulary
has found its way into the present,
as evidenced last week when I took
a friend to shop for clothes and
commented on how amorphous a
particular dress looked.
You mean shapeless? she asked.
I did mean shapeless, remem-
bering all too well how I had once
wrongly described a house as being
amorphous in one of my infamous
compositions. A shapeless house.
Despite mildly depressing child-
hood memories, I cannot say that
being a homebody exclusively stems
from my being anti-social. As hard as
it is to believe, one can really enjoy
ones own company, especially con-
sidering how, when you are alone,
all the craziness you keep concealed
tends to come out.
I often say this, but my room has
seen some of the best dance moves
on this earth as well as the best sing-
ing, karate, rapping, Naruto imper-
sonations, and catwalking. It makes
sense, considering that when you are
alone, there is no competition and
you are the only judge.
Sometimes I even nd myself look-
ing forward to a whole weekend at
home just so I can have a marathon
session of watching my favourite
series. I always have to stop myself
from breaking dates by coming up
with awful, yet true lines such as,
This weekend? Sorry, I have a date
with The Blacklist.
Much as human beings like being
around one another, they also enjoy
being away from other people, even if
just for a little while, in order to have
some breathing space.
Yet after too much time spent
boxed in the four walls of your room,
it starts to be suocating. Before you
know it, you would rather be any-
where else doing anything else than
being at home. Even exercising, an
activity which I consider to be akin
to dying a slow death (even if it is
meant to prolong life.)
A few years ago, in an eort to
escape this suocation (and avoid
exercising), I was browsing the web
when I stumbled upon an article ti-
tled, How to be a one-hit wonder.
I do not know if I was expecting a
secret formula because what I read
pretty much amounted to this: Write
a song, record it, market it, become a
star. It was then that it hit me. Some-
times to make a change, you have to
step out of your zone.
It all boils down to a delicate bal-
ancing act. Thus, these days instead
of solely being in my room wonder-
ing about the outside world, I split
my time between dreaming about my
room while in the outside world and
dreaming about the outside world
when I am in my room.
Crawl out of your cave and soak

Dr Dres buyout by Apple has propelled him into
the Billionares Boys Club and though he might
not be the rst hiphop billionare, he is laughing
all the way to the bank.
Huawei chose Paris to introduce its P7 smart-
phone and, indeed, it is bringing a competitive
device. This is a 4G phone sporting a 1920x1080
display underneath a Gorilla Glass 3 housing that
will be driven by a 1.8GHz quad-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon processor tied to 2GB of RAM, 16GB of
internal expandable by 64GB through microSD. It
will also sport two cameras, a 13MP rear-facing one
and a front-facing 8MP. The phone runs a modied
version of Android KitKat with Huaweis Emotion
interface and is noted for being distinctively slim,
measuring 6.5mm. To get one, be prepared to pay
Sh54,000.

If you do not mind carrying a portable music
speaker to listen to your music outdoors, then the
Jabra Solemate Max is the perfect companion.
It is ruggedised to be splash-resistant, in case
it gets a bit wet, and is dust-resistant, making it a
camping must-have, although it is weighty. It pairs
over Bluetooth with your phone to play music or
you can load it through its dedicated USB port from
a laptop or USB drive.
You can control the speakers through a phone
and even add an equaliser through an app to en-
hance the sound. The speaker set costs Sh35,000
and is available online.
After a long while, Facebook has nally shuttered
its Poke app. Poke was that app that allowed friends
to message each other with videos, photos, and
texts that would only last for 10 seconds, like Snap-
chat, its inspiration.
Snapchat has been successful in its short mes-
sage platform, now transporting close to 700 million
messages daily, but Facebook has long withheld its
Poke statistics, which indicate poor traction.
The Poke app was also poorly branded as users
confused it with the original ability to poke each
other, launched as a core Facebook function that has
been the case for years.
Before, it was Beats by Dre and HTC, but that
story did not work out well. However, Beats by Dre
is making a second attempt at joining a mobile
device manufacturer by becoming part of Apple.
Apple has paid 3.2 billion (Sh279 billion) to ac-
quire Beats, potentially making Dr Dre a billionaire.
Beats is regarded highly for its quality premium
audio products and as a fashion statement. Apple
is approaching Beats primarily for its music stream-
ing service, which is growing fast, with the bonus
of quality audio hardware that could be sold as a
package with Apples products. The acquisition also
means that Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine will join Apple
to oversee the Beats brand.

TECHNO BYTE >> WITH KIUMBUKU MUCHUKU
The unintended leak of
the Moto E last week conrmed its
impending launch. Motorola has been
keeping the lid on this phone, which
shows just how serious they are about
it and its potential market. Motorola
Mobility, post-Google, are nally
bringing their game-changing device
to try and archive their dismal past
with the rest of their skeletons.
The history of Motorola Mobility
is dramatic. First, Motorola put it in
Googles hands, which went badly.
Then, Google pawned it o to Len-
ovo, which has been buying tradi-
tional American business units, such
as IBMs personal computing business
as well as their Intel server business.
Lenovo had, surprisingly, sold its
mobile business unit in 2008, but
bought it back a year later for twice
the price. So far, its run of resurrect-
ing dying American brands seems to
be working, and the Moto E might be
the proof it needs.
If only it was 4G
The sad news is that this is not a 4G
phone, but that is hardly surprising.
However, it got the full 3G suite that is
actually working for it. The rst pleas-
ant surprise is that it supports two
micro-sims, which is quite rare, so it
might actually not be that bad.
While Lenovo wanted this to be a
HD phone, it did not make the cut
with its 4.3 inch 720x1280 pixels Go-
rilla screen display, but qHD seems to
be more its playground. Then there is
the odd 5MP camera that records at
2592x944
pixels, which
is faux HD at
best, but it lacks
magic, so it is a rather
unique combination. Len-
ovo has spared the horses
with the camera further by exclud-
ing led ash.
To start up the phone, there is an
underpowered dual-core1.2GHz Qual-
comm Snapdragon processor, which
is nowhere near impressive, and the
1GB of RAM attached to it is even less
impressive.
Then there is 4GB to put your stu
and load your apps, which on this,
runs out very quickly, and Motorola
thought about it and decided to allow
expansion up to 32GB via microSD.
Not a lot, but it is a fair attempt.
Then, the phone supports WiFi 802.11
b/g/n and features hotspot capability,
which is quite good. There are other
features like Bluetooth, GPS, and sur-
prisingly, GLONASS, microUSB sup-
port, and the usual smartphone fea-
tures. Everything is brought together
by Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).
It feels like a description of the
most boring phone in the world,
right? The reality is that it, indeed,
has an outdated 2010 look, feels
shamelessly cheap, which is probably
why Motorola keeps reminding the
world that is priced for all, lacks a
front-facing
camera, the
rear-facing
camera feels
more like a
ash-less token
to make sure it has
a camera, and the
processor is poor, mak-
ing the phone sluggish.
RAM needed to be at least
2GB to make sense, and it is
just not worth buying, right?
Wrong.
Big seller
This is going to be one of Motoro-
las biggest sellers in history. For what
it has and does not have, this phone is
a sub-$100 (Sh8,600) phone and that
changes everything about it. It might
not have $500 (Sh43,000) phone
looks and features, but Motorola is
not pretending either.
It has a WiFi hotspot inbuilt and
with 3G, that is signicant. Then there
is the dual micro-sims that give it a
bit of class. Finally, it is stepping into
big shoes, replacing the Motorola
G which, despite good sales and
features, was not suited to low-cost
markets.
This has the potential of being one
of the best budget phones of 2014,
far better than Nokias Android at-
tempt, outclasses many Samsung
low-cost phones, and will run better
than a China phone. Despite looking
old, it actually does not look half as
bad. It will cost less than Sh10,000, is
out this week, and you probably want
to wait for it if you are looking at an
Android touch phone that will not
break the bank.

Song: Yuko Na Wewe
Artist: Size 8
Rating: 7/10
If you thought it was just a publicity
stunt, that Size 8 would fall o the wagon
within a week and go back to oering
vidonges, you were mistaken. The singer
has released a third gospel single, Yuko na
Wewe, which means He is with you.
The song is based on Deuteronomy 31:
8 and the singer speaks of the good Lords
never-ending, comforting presence in
our lives. The audio has a modest and
restrained reggae rhythm and it is not
surprising that this song has been on top
of the charts for a while now. The video is
pretty poignant, with nice role-play by the
extras.
They exemplify disparate struggles
in dierent aspects of life, including
poverty, sickness, and domestic
violence. The message comes
out loud and clear from
their unique play-acting.
Size 8 has kept her
dress code modest since
her transformation and in
this video, the petite si-
ren wears an eye-catch-
ing, classy red dress.
Prince Cam Media did
a good job, ensuring
that the video is clear
while using highly
accentuated colour
schemes throughout.
Usually, that turns out
badly.
Throughout the 4:
41, they sustain a solid
visual display. The
video is appealing and
the quality unques-
tionable.
Size 8 seems pre-
pared to keeping the
gospel numbers coming for
a long time, contrary to the expecta-
tions of many sceptics, who thought that
she would quit after a short while.

THE MUSIC: YUKO NA WEWE
THE MOVIE: ROBOCOP
Title: Robocop
Rating: 8/10
Category: Action Science
Fiction
Release Date: 12 February, 2014
Length: 1 hour 58 minutes
Director: Jose Padilha
Main Actors: Joel Kinnaman as
Alex Murphy/Robocop
Gary Oldman as Dr Dennett
Norton
Michael Keaton as Raymond
Sellars
Samuel L. Jackson as Patrick
Novak
When Robocop starts with a
war on terror agenda, you are
immediately convinced that this
is going to be a phenomenal
movie that is going to address
current issues.
The movie unfolds much like
a Frank Miller comic book, with
the typical noir premise. Not to
take anything away from this,
its chosen style is splendid. It
accesses a crucial introspective
angle from detective Alex Mur-
phy as he comes to terms with
his new robotic identity.
He also faces the challenge
of being emotionally accessible
to his family, who now see him
as someone dierent. The lm,
at the same time, portrays his
plight to bring down the men
who killed him and forced him
into becoming half-man half-
machine in a brief and exact
manner.
Above all this, the issues of
morality in matters of busi-
ness and national security are
strongly presented. Samuel L.
Jackson, who plays Novak, acts
as the voice for the conscience
of America as they try to choose
between human and articial
soldiers. It is evident that the di-
rector was keen on reaching out
to a mature audience who would
not simply be fooled into liking
the movie because of its state-
of-the-art CGI eects. The level
of restraint the movie shows in
terms of visual eects and fancy
camera work proves that there
is a story worth following in this
Robocop remake and it is one
that is relevant to todays prob-
lems of national security.

THE GAMER: THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2
Game: The Amazing Spi-
derman 2
Rating: 5/10
In developing this
video game, Beenox did
not alter a single thing
from the basics used in
its predecessors. In fact,
they scarcely made any
changes to it. It is just a
new-fangled name on an
exceedingly redundant
franchise series. The
game, much like Spider-
Man: Shattered Dimen-
sions, Spider-Man: Edge
of Time, and The Amazing
Spider-Man, continues to
heavily centre its storyline
on the movie script, with
the users primary mission
yet again being to nd
Uncle Bens killer.
The game does feature
an impressive cast of both
old and newly conceived
villains such as Kraven,
Green Goblin, and King-
pin. Graphically, the game
does not impress as much
as it could have. This
is where it remains the
same as its antecedents
because there was no
real improvement worth
mentioning and no atten-
tion to detail. The game
will not attract gamers
who enjoy a high cadre
of detail. It is not a fun
adventure to play, but it
is still worth getting for
fans of this Superhero.
Sadly, it inopportunely
fades in comparison to
other major releases that
we have seen.
It is about time the
creative minds behind
this video game and the
movie decided allow Spi-
derman to nd his uncles
killer so that the franchise
can perhaps move on.
What was a little dierent
was perhaps the intricacy
with which the missions
play out and how they
gel into each other. The
unexpected death at the
end was a little emotional.
Apart from that, it was
just another Spiderman
game.
