Teachers supplementing their

monthly income by engaging in private
business may soon have to revise their
revenue streams.
The Teachers Service Commission
(TSC) has proposed stringent rules
that, among other things, bar teachers
from running businesses or airing po-
litical views.
The new rules are part of the revised
Code of Conduct and Ethics that was
presented to the key players in the ed-
ucation sector for scrutiny yesterday.
The new rules were however quick-
ly opposed by the teachers unions,

Divisions have rocked President
Uhuru Kenyattas TNA party over a
planned Motion to impeach Devolu-
tion Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru,
as Opposition MPs adopted a wait-
and-see attitude.
Yesterday, about 10 MPs from Uh-
urus party put up a staunch defence
for the embattled Cabinet Secretary,
alleging she was the victim of a con-
spiracy by people who perceive her to
be arrogant.
They attacked an impeachment
Motion against the CS drafted by their
TNA colleague, Igembe South MP
Mithika Linturi, and claimed majority
of the over 100 MPs who signed it were
not fully briefed on the claims made
against Ms Waiguru.
The MPs led by Jamleck Kamau
(Kigumo) and Kabando wa Kabando
(Mukurweini) said the Motion was
based on misleading information
hyped up by politicians pushing an
ethnic bigotry agenda.
Armed with appointment docu-
ments to absolve the CS of any wrong-
doing, the MPs said they read mis-
Jubilee split as MPs defend Waiguru on disputed changes
chief in the manner that the planned
impeachment was being handled.
According to the notice of Motion
by Mr Linturi, Waiguru is accused of
gross misconduct and violation of the
Constitution by abusing, intimidat-
ing and threatening public servants
in her ministry.
The Motion cites the removal of
Kiplimo Rugut and Gor Semelango as
National Youth Service director gen-
eral and Youth Enterprise Fund chair-
man respectively.
NO HEARING
Former State House Comptroller
Nelson Githinji replaced Rugut, a
move that has caused strife in the rul-
ing Jubilee coalition. About 30 MPs
from Deputy President William Rutos
URP resolved to support the Motion
after talks in Nairobi on Tuesday
night.
Yesterday, the TNA MPs defended
Waiguru, saying she was being sacri-
ced even though Mr Rugut was ap-
pointed the Secretary of Youth,
through the Central Posting Unit
chaired by Head of Public Service Jo-
seph Kinyua.
They termed Ruguts shufe as a
promotion to a higher job group, pro-
ducing a document dated May 9, that
details the transfer of 11 senior Gov-
ernment ofcials to different minis-
tries, including Ruguts.
Waiguru is only a sacricial lamb
here. From the letter by Kinyua, it is
obvious the President and his deputy
were aware of these transfers. The
questions should be directed to the
two, not the CS, said Kamau. The
transfer process is usually effected
through the Central Posting Unit.
Kabando questioned the process,
saying it did not follow the procedure
of parliamentary probes where such
matters are referred to a committee.
It is obvious that no hearing has
been convened to question Waiguru,
as always happens in Parliament. This
raises very many questions; funda-
mentally, who is the complainant
here? Is it Rugut?Kabando posed.
The Constitution provides for the
procedure of removal of a Cabinet
Secretary in which a select committee
is set up to investigate claims against
the CS should the Motion be support-
ed by a third of members of the Na-
tional Assembly.

Parastatals should be as com-
petitive and business-oriented as
private sector institutions once
the reforms are over, President
Uhuru Kenyatta has said.
The President spoke as he was
briefed on reforms to cut down
the number of Government-
owned entities from 262 to 187.
Speaking during the session on
the progress made towards imple-
mentation of the parastatal re-
form programme in his ofce in
Harambee House, President Ke-
nyatta said there was no reason
why the public should continue to
pump funds into institutions that
bring in no prots.
He said the aim of reforming
parastatals was to ensure that in-
centives were aligned to the per-
formance of those working in the
public organisations.
ECONOMIC GROWTH
In a brief to the President, the
implementation committee, head-
ed by the Chief of Staff and Head
of Public Service Joseph Kinyua,
noted that the reforms would cut
down the number of Government-
owned entities. A total of 14 new
Government-owned entities have
been created through the merger
of 38 parastatals.
The sector reforms are to in-
crease savings from the Govern-
ment-owned entities and enhance
contribution to national develop-
ment through accelerating eco-
nomic growth.
The reforms are also expected
to help the sector promote devel-
opment to drive the countrys so-
cial-economic transformation to a
global competitive and prosper-
ous state with high quality of life
by 2030.
Parastatals will

effect. But the latest revelation drew
the suspicion of the committee, which
questioned the manner in which con-
tracts associated with Pereiras com-
panies were being favoured.
The demand is not less than
Sh3.05 billion entered in 2004. The g-
ure could be more because of the in-
terest rates accrued and similar tac-
tics that were employed to frustrate
the supposed oating of the sovereign
bond, warned Namwamba.
Suna East MP Junet Mohamed also
demanded explanations from Trea-
sury on a pattern he said was worry-
ing, in which rms associated with
Pereira were being given preferential
treatment.
Doesnt it look like it is a conspir-
acy to pay Pereira the claims? Already
four of his recent claims under the
Anglo Leasing deals have been paid.
The one in the pipeline is not even
captured in the PricewaterhouseCoo-
pers (PWC) report that conducted an
evaluation of the other related secu-
rity projects, Mr Mohamed said.
The latest demands now add an-
other complication to Kenyas planned
sovereign bond, which seeks over
Sh130 billion to bridge the 2014/15
budgetary estimates decit.
This means that Treasury may cave
in to the new demands and pay the
amount, a situation that will exert
more pressure on the Jubilee govern-
ment, which is already battling criti-
cisms over the payments.
Deputy Solicitor General Muthoni
Kimani told MPs that the project was
not among the ones that were evalu-
ated by PWC based on the nature of

By GEOFFREY MOSOKU
Anglo Leasing architect Anura
Pereira is not done with Kenya, even
after getting paid Sh1.4 billion by the
National Treasury.
A day after revealing that Treasury
had paid Mr Pereiras agents, Perma-
nent Secretary Kamau Thugge
dropped another bombshell the Sri
Lankan had made a new demand, this
time totalling Sh3.05 billion.
Mr Thugge said the Sh3.05 billion
is Pereiras demand in the latest Anglo
Leasing deals for services allegedly
rendered to the National Security In-
telligence Service (NSIS), now the Na-
tional Intelligence Service.
UNCERTAINTY OVER CLAIMS
This is in addition to the Sh1.4 bil-
lion paid to his two other Anglo Leas-
ing companies: Universal Satspace
and First Mercantile Securities Corpo-
ration in line with a judgement issued
in a London Court.
Thugge shocked the Public Ac-
counts Committee (PAC) when he re-
vealed that fresh demands had been
made against the Flagstaff NCTC proj-
ect entered in 2004 at a cost of
US$41,800,000 for the NSIS.
Pereira has already led another
claim with Treasury seeking the Sh3.05
billion payment for Flagstaff project
though there is uncertainty on how
much was done, said Thugge.
The PS told the Ababu Namwam-
ba-led PAC that Pereira has already
written to Treasury demanding the
payment but failed to clarify when the
new demand was made.
This prompted committee chair-
man Namwamba to order Thugge to
furnish the team with letters to that

its security status.
Thugge, however, indicated that
Treasury would be ready to work with
the House to nd ways of having the
project audited before payments were
made because of the high levels of un-
certainty over how much was done.
This emerged as the committee
was also told that the Government is
demanding over Sh3.83 billion from
Anglo Leasing businessman Deepak
Kamani as a refund over the partly
completed contracts.
Treasurys quest to recover the
money is, however, shrouded in mys-
tery after claims that the courts had
quashed the demands after the busi-
nessman sued to counter the move.
But a Treasury ofcial, a Mr Kairu,
told the committee that it was part of
the PWC audit report.
Ms Kimani said the gure that the
Government was seeking as a refund
was still valid because it had not been
affected by the courts verdict.
Namwamba said the demand
is not less than Sh3.05 billion
entered in 2004 and the fgure
could be more because of the
interest rates accrued and sim-
ilar tactics that were employed
to frustrate the supposed
foating of the sovereign bond
Suna East MP Junet Mo-
hamed also demanded expla-
nations from Treasury on a
pattern he said was worrying,
in which frms associated with
Pereira were being given pref-
erential treatment

The search for missing Embu
County Assembly Speaker Justus Kar-
iuki Mate entered its fth day yester-
day, with police still groping in the
dark.
There were more questions than
answers even as police charged their
colleague, a CID ofcer based at Pan-
gani Police Station, with abduction.
Family and friends of Mate initially al-
leged that police were reluctant to ar-
rest the ofcer, and had instead held
his bodyguard and driver for ques-
tioning.
However, Nicholas Muriuki Kan-
gangi appeared before the Chief Mag-
istrates Court in Milimani yesterday
and was charged with abduction with
intent to unlawfully conne Justus
Kariuki Mate on May 19, 2014.
Kangangi was released on a
Sh100,000 cash bail and ordered to
appear in court on Monday next week
for further orders before the case is
heard on July 9.
PRIVATE MEETING
There was more speculation after
an unmarked lorry slammed into
Mates drivers car along Kiambu Road
moments after he left the police sta-
tion where he was interrogated.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is con-
stantly being briefed on the progress
of Mates search. The Speaker served
as one of his aides when he was the
chairman of Kanu.
Police are yet to establish whether
Kangangi lured Mate with the aim of
harming him after it emerged that the
he had made several telephone calls
asking the Speaker for a private meet-
ing ostensibly to share some sensi-
tive information.
On Sunday, Kangangi sought to
meeting Mate allegedly to share sen-
sitive information on how the Speak-
ers detractors were plotting to x him

movements surface as
CID ofcer is charged
over his disappearance
over his role in the impeachment of
Embu Governor Martin Wambora.
It was then that the two agreed to
meet at Thika Roads Blue Springs Ho-
tel. Accompanied by a friend, Mate ar-
rived and waited for the CID ofcer.
The ofcer then called and asked
whether he was alone. Realising that
the Speaker had company, he report-
edly asked to postpone the meeting to
the next day (Monday).
On the fateful day, the ofcer asked
Mate to meet him in the city centre,
prompting Mate to skip a workshop
session at the Utalii Hotel and rush to
the city. When he called once he ar-
rived in the central business district,
Kangangi said he was meeting some-
one at Harambee House and asked
him to wait.
Consequently, Mate went to Par-
liament and spent some time in Na-
tional Assembly Speaker Justin Mu-
turis ofce. Mr Muturi was abroad at
the time and Mate met his Parliament
counterparts aide.
After a while, the ofcer called and
asked if they could meet either at CID
headquarters or Sharks Place along
Kiambu Road. He also suggested
Choma Zone on Thika Road. But be-
cause Mate was running late, he asked
Retracing missing Mates last moments
that they meet at Utalii Hotel.
Mates colleagues say he received
a phone call at 4:30pm from Kangan-
gi and thereafter walked away from
the ongoing workshop and has not
been seen since.
SENSITIVE MATTERS
Kangangi has been grilled along-
side Mates driver and personal assis-
tant in connection with the disap-
pearance. An ofcer aware of the case
said the CID ofcer planned to meet
Mate at Choma Zone but the Speaker
never showed up.
He (Kangangi) says they were to
meet and discuss sensitive matters

They agree to meet at Thika Roads Blue
Springs Hotel but Kangangi reportedly
postpones the meeting after realising that
Mate is in the company of a friend
but he waited for him from 5pm to
8pm in vain. So he decided to leave,
said the ofcer.
Mate once worked for the Kenya
Anti-Corruption Authority before
serving as a personal aide to President
Kenyatta. He also acted as a personal
assistant to National Assembly Speak-
er Justin Muturi when he was the Gov-
ernment Chief Whip.
Before his election to the position
of Speaker, Mate worked in the Team
Uhuru secretariat in the 2013 General
Election. He then retreated to Embu
when he was elected Speaker.
Nairobi head of CID Nicholas
Kamwende said they have no clue
about Mates whereabouts.
If any one has information re-
garding this matter, let him help us.
For now, we have no clue other than
what you have heard, said Mr Kam-
wende.
Investigators have also grilled
workers at the Utalii Hotel and Cho-
ma Zone. Those at Choma Zone con-
rmed that Kangangi was there with
two other people and left at about
8pm. Those at Utalii said they man-
aged to record the number plates of
the car that is alleged to have picked
Mate up from the hotel.
But the details are not helping so
much, said Kamwende without elab-
orating.
Some Members of the Embu Coun-
ty Assembly want police to investigate
how Mate went missing on Monday
from a hotel where they were meet-
ing.

centre but when the Speaker arrives, he
says he is held up in a meeting at Harambee
House. He asks Mate to wait for him

operations, including delaying goods
destined for local and to Uganda,
Rwanda, South Sudan, Democratic
Republic of Congo and Burundi.
Last evening, negotiations be-
tween workers representatives broke
down, with the Central Organisation
of Trade Unions (Cotu) blaming the
KPA management for the paralysis
and being retrogressive.
Cotu Secretary General Francis
Atwoli lashed at the ports authority,
accusing it of frustrating workers by
dragging negotiation for improved
terms of service for unionisable em-
ployees.
KPAs attitude amounts to retro-
gressive behaviour and impunity,
reckoned Atwoli in a statement, add-
ing that the KPA managers should be
held responsible for the strike.
Whereas the Dock Workers Union
(DWU) has since the beginning of the
year shown every commitment to-
wards ensuring that the CBA is com-
pleted on time and workers benet,
the KPA management has continued
to frustrate these efforts by engaging
in delaying tactics for the simple rea-
son that they think they will incur an
extra cost with the completion of the
CBA, Atwoli noted.
The Cotu boss demanded that
KPA management unlocks the Collec-
tive Bargaining Agreement (CBA),
deadlock and completes the talks to
allow for salary increase.
Operations at the port were pa-
ralysed yesterday after workers aban-
doned work at all stations.
The CBA negotiation teams from
KPA and DWU have differed on com-
muter allowance, with the latter de-
manding an eight per cent increase.
This translates to Sh19,000 for the
highest paid docker and Sh13,000 for
the lowest paid unionisable employ-
ee.
RESOLVING STALEMATE
KPA top ofcials led by chairman
Mr Danson Mungatana and the ex-
ecutive committee of the DWU were
locked in a meeting, as they sought
to resolve the stalemate.
Work at both the busy container
terminal and conventional cargo ar-
eas were affected, as the 5,100 union-
isable KPA workers protested over
delay in concluding the CBA, which
promises them better salary and al-
lowances.
Work in the operations and engi-
neering departments, which facilitate
the movement of cargo through the
port, was grounded, leaving port us-
ers frustrated.
The strike raised fears that both
containers and cargo could pile up
unless the workers salary issues are
resolved. Kenya International Freight
and Warehousing Association Mom-
basa Chairman Roy Mwanthi ex-
pressed fear that there could be seri-
ous cargo congestion unless the
dispute was promptly resolved.
The port handled a lot of raw
materials and any delay would affect
manufacturers. This will in turn affect
economies of the East African region,
said Mwanthi.
Mr Mungatana and Simon Sang,
the DWU general secretary, addressed
workers at the KPA headquarters yes-
terday afternoon assuring them that
negotiations were still in progress.
Mungatana announced he would
convene a special board meeting to-
day to give the KPA team involved in
the CBA negotiations mandate to
proceed with the exercise so as to
forestall further delays in reaching an
agreement.
The negotiations will resume to-
morrow. We are making good progress
and the matter will be resolved ami-
cably, Mungatana assured.
NEGOTIATIONS
Media access to the port was re-
stricted yesterday as the management
and union leaders were locked in the
negotiations.
However, as the talks were ongo-
ing, the striking workers were seen
idling at the port facility.
There was fear of possible cargo
congestion at the port following the
protest.
DWU ofcials said yesterday that
they had differed with KPA manage-
ment over commuter allowance dur-
ing the CBA negotiations.
Mr Sang and DWU chairman Mr
Jeffer Kiti said they had successfully
negotiated for improved salary, leave
and house allowances, but reached a
deadlock on the transport allow-
ance.
What we can tell you for now is
that we cannot register the 2014/2015
CBA without striking a deal in the
transport allowance. That is why
there is tension at the port, explained
Sang.
Sources said talks collapsed be-
cause the DWU team wanted the
commuter allowance to be raised
from Sh12,000 a month to Sh13,000.
The two teams have been negoti-
ating the CBA for the last one
month.

with the key argument being that teach-
ers have to be allowed to engage in oth-
er activities to boost their meagre in-
come, as long as they engage in private
business outside working hours.
Top on the list of new rules is the re-
quirement that teachers must undergo
open and rigorous appraisals to gauge
and enforce productivity.
The rules will also apply to other
employees of TSC who will no longer be
allowed to run private businesses or
publicly express political views.
It will also be punishable for a teach-
er to play a central role in the organisa-
tion of a harambee including being
the guest of honour.
The teachers employer has also rec-
ommended that it would be illegal for
teachers to engage in any sexual activ-
ity with a learner regardless of whether
the student has consented.
Under the new rules, it will also be
an offence for any teacher to send any
pupil to his or her personal residence,
whatever the reason.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
And in the staff room, no teacher
will be allowed to sexually harass a col-
league or even make any physical con-
tact that is sexually suggestive in na-
ture.
These are some of the stringent
rules the teachers employer wants
passed in its effort to enhance integrity
and professionalism in the teaching in-
dustry.
Also discussed was the revised Code
of Regulations for teachers.
The rules will apply to all registered
teachers and staff of the TSC secretari-
at.
Teachers who intend to send learn-
ers home, say for defaulting on fees
payment, will only be allowed to do so
between 6am and noon.
TSC says sending children away
from school earlier or later than the
prescribed time will be illegal.
And releasing a learner from school
for any reason before notifying the
guardian or parent will be punishable
if the new code is passed.
Commission secretary Gabriel Len-
goiboni said the two documents aim at
protecting the child and enhancing
quality education.
We are reforming the management
of teaching in a fundamental way by
enhancing integrity and accountabili-
ty, he said.
Education Principal Secretary Dr
Belio Kipsang, however, said various in-
stitutions must be respected even as ef-
forts are made to manage the sector.
Under Section 50 of the Code of
Regulations, TSC proposes to develop
an open performance appraisal system
for teachers.
Head teachers will be required to
provide an oversight role in the perfor-
mance appraisal for teachers in their
respective institutions.
The commission may take disci-
plinary action against a teacher who
fails to complete and submit an ap-
praisal report to the supervisor or who
refuses or neglects to discuss or sign
their appraisal report with their super-
visor, reads the proposal.
Other stakeholders present at the
Kenya School of Government were
Elimu Yetu Coalition, the National Gen-
der and Equality Commission, Kenya
Episcopal Conference (Catholic bish-
ops), and the two national parents as-
sociations, among others.
In its raft of proposals, TSC also de-
mands that teachers must not engage
in any other gainful employment while
serving in full-time basis.
The employer further recommends
that no teacher shall engage in private
business during ofcial working hours,
a proposal that the two teachers unions
have opposed.

Teachers Service Commission
(TSC) county directors and Min-
istry of Education ofcials posted
to oversee devolved units have
been urged to work harmoniously
for the benet of learners.
Education Principal Secretary
Bellio Kipsang said the turf wars
between ministrys county direc-
tors and their TSC counterparts
were hampering delivery of qual-
ity education in schools.
Speaking yesterday, Dr Kip-
sang said it was unfortunate that
the ofcials were not to working
together when the ultimate focus
should be on the welfare of learn-
ers.
I am reliably told that all the
directors are teachers and I know
that they should know whom
they are working for, he said.
Both the ministry and TSC
have deployed staff to be in charge
of the 47 counties.
JOB SPECIFICATIONS
TSC directors are tasked with
teacher management while their
Ministry of Education counter-
parts manage the rest of the duties
such as schools registration and
infrastructure issues.
TSC Secretary Gabriel Lengoi-
boni yesterday said there was no
duplication of roles because the
ofcials had their job specica-
tions spelt out in their appoint-
ment letters.
Mr Lengoiboni said he was
aware of the teething problems
but noted that there was no excuse
for the directors not to work to-
gether.
The two ofcials spoke yester-
day during education stakehold-
ers meeting convened at the Ke-
nya School of Government in
Nairobi to discuss the code of con-
duct and ethics for teachers and
the code of regulation.
And speaking on the sidelines
of the meeting, Kipsang and Len-
goiboni said a joint meeting would
be called to resolve the issues.
We shall ensure they have
quarterly meetings so that they
can work together and harmoni-
ously, said Kipsang.
End turf wars, PS
tells education
county directors
(Knut) and the Kenya Union of Post Pri-
mary Education Teachers (Kuppet) yes-
terday said teachers must be allowed to
seek alternative sources of income to
supplement their meagre pay.
What we are saying is that teachers
should ensure that whatever they do
does not interfere with their profes-
sional duties. But we cannot complete-
ly bar them from pursuing any source
of income, said Kuppet National
Chairman Omboko Milemba.
The teachers unions also argued
teachers were respectable members of
the society and cannot be locked out of
fundraising activities.
Teachers must be assimilated into
the society and heads of institutions
must not be reduced to mere specta-
tors, said Knut National Chairman
Mudzo Nzili.
The document says that an employ-
ee who wishes to contest an election
shall resign from the service at least six
months before the date of election.
The revised code has spelt out of-
fences that may see teachers struck off
the register.

President Uhuru Kenyatta
yesterday afternoon visited
and consoled the family of the
late Gatundu South MP Joseph
Ngugi at their Runda home in
Nairobi.
The President, who was ac-
companied by National As-
sembly Speaker Justin Muturi
and Majority Leader Aden Du-
ale assured the family of his
support and prayers at this dif-
cult time.
God has his time. He has
time for each one of us. Yester-
day was the time for our broth-
er Ngugi. What we can do is
thank God for moments we
shared with him and for the
service he was able to give to
the people of Gatundu and Ke-
nya at large, he said.
He said the late Ngugi was
hard working and strived to
see successful implementation
of development programmes
in his constituency.
In a space of one year he
had managed to conclude
quite a lot in terms of develop-
ment programmes and proj-
ects. Speaking to people who I

Director of Public Prosecu-
tions Keriako Tobiko claims
Machakos Senator Johnston
Muthama is interfering with
his work.
He said Muthama is imped-
ing his investigation of allega-
tions of irregular sale of the
20,000 acre Malili ranch.
Tobiko is investigating alle-
gations of fraud against Muth-
ama and eight others. He asked
through his lawyer Paul Muite
for a petition led by the sena-
tor at the High Court in Nairo-
bi to be dismissed.
Muite said the case requires
that the DPP respond substan-
tively to the claims in the peti-
tion, yet he is still evaluating
the police investigations le,
evidence and documents. He
said Tobiko is yet to decide
whether give go ahead and
prosecute the eight.
The petition is premature,
incompetent, unsustainable
and ought to be struck out,
says Muite. Muthama moved
to court on May 5 seeking or-
ders to stop the DPP from ar-
resting and prosecuting him
over allegations of irregular
sale of the ranch. The petition
will be heard on June 4. Justice
David Majanja declined to is-
sue the orders sought by Muth-
ama through John Khaminwa
saying his arrest was not immi-
nent.
The Senator led the case
after the Directorate of Crimi-
nal Investigations made a rec-
ommendation to the DPP to
have Muthama and eight oth-
ers prosecuted.

ing as an MP of the area, all do
agree that Ngugi was a hard
working person whom they
were proud of as their leader,
said President Kenyatta.
Muturi and Duale said Ngu-
gi always went out of his way to
ensure whatever programme
was planned was implemented
successfully.
I have indeed lost a dear
friend, who made it possible
for me to get much closer to
many MPs. Jossy went beyond
the call of duty to ensure things
were properly done, said Mu-
turi.
Ngugi had been scheduled
to travel to his constituency for
a prayer service to celebrate
the commissioning of a new
project the day he died, The
Standard.
PRAYER SERVICE
His personal assistant, Mr
David Gathanju, said he was
with the MP on Tuesday eve-
ning when they nalised plans
for going to Gatundu town the
following day.
Ngugi was scheduled to be
the chief guest during a prayer
service on Wednesday to dedi-
cate the new Gatundu ultra-
modern market to the Lord.
He was in good health and
high spirits. We laughed and
talked at length about many is-
sues concerning the constitu-
ency which was very dear to
him, recalled Gathanju.
Ngugi, who died yesterday,
will be buried on Friday May
30, at his Gatudu South home.

Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob
Kaimenyi has claried that only uni-
versity councils are mandated to re-
view fees for their institutions.
Prof Kaimenyi told university stu-
dents planning a countrywide dem-
onstration on Monday that fees would
not be increased without their input.
The body mandated to increase
university school fees is the university
council, not Kaimenyi. The vice-chan-
cellors have only shared with me the
need to review the school fees. I want
to assure students that they will be
consulted, said the Cabinet secre-
tary.
While launching the National Con-
ference on Special Needs Education,
Kaimenyi maintained that the minis-
try had not developed any schemes to
increase varsity fees.
On Tuesday, public university stu-
dents staged a protest across the
country over the intention to raise
fees. The CS said plans were under-
way to review differentiate unit cost,
saying it was important to cost cours-
Varsity councils mandated to review fees
Kaimenyi assures
students that the
process to adjust fees
will not be conducted
without their input
es offered at university level based on
the needs of the course.
He said it was illogical for students
doing medicine, engineering and
dental surgery courses to be given the
same amount of money as those do-
ing a bachelors degree in economics
and other social sciences.
We are going to review the differ-
ent unit costings for various courses
so that we look at the needs of a stu-
dent doing a particular course. You
cannot give a student pursuing a
bachelors degree in medicine or den-
tal surgery the same amount as one
doing economics, said Kaimenyi.
EDUCATION QUALITY
Currently, the Higher Education
Loans Board (Helb) gives only up to
Sh60,000 to any student who applies
and qualies.
The CS disclosed that his ministry
would advise the Government on the
need to improve the quality of educa-
tion depending on the number of stu-
dents and the cost of equipment
needed to train them.
If Kenya could create a law like
the Unclaimed Assets law in Florida
State (in the US), we could generate
money from unclaimed assets and
use it to fund university education,
Kaimenyi advised.
The differentiated cost unit is con-
tained in the Universities Act of
2012.
Kaimenyi appealed to the State to
increase the budgetary allocation for
special needs education.

Womens economic empowerment
is vital for the achievement of Millen-
nium Development Goals (MDGs),
Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne
Waiguru has said.
She said Kenya had distinguished
itself globally by implementing afr-
mative action in the Government pro-
curement process, with the 30 per
cent procurement provision currently
being rolled out to ensure women,
youth and persons with disabilities
have access to State tenders.
There is need to place emphasis
on transforming the current gender-
based division of labour so that wom-
en and men enjoy equal treatment.
This includes addressing the dispro-
portionate representation of women
in unpaid work, particularly care ser-
vices, she said.
She was speaking during the na-
tional stakeholders meeting in Nairo-
bi on Post 58 session of the Commis-
sion on the Status of Women (CSW)
and the Beijing Platform for Action
+20 review process in Nairobi.
Ms Waiguru said it was essential to
encourage female participation in sci-
ence, technology and mathematics,
which remain male-dominated elds.
The forum aimed at accelerating im-
plementation of the key outcomes of
the CSW 58.

Miraa is among 348 substances to
be classied by the United Nations Of-
ce on Drugs and Crime as the new
narcotics, overtaking abuse of tradi-
tional drugs such as heroin and co-
caine.
In the latest Global Synthetic Drugs
Assessment released on Tuesday,
miraa appears prominently among
what the UN is calling New Psychoac-
tive Substances (NPS) said to pose a
substantial threat to public health.
Although these substances, includ-
ing miraa, have not yet entered the of-
cial record of globally controlled sub-
stances such as heroin, they could very
well be headed there going by the at-
tention they are being given by the UN
member states.
Miraa signicantly entered the list
of NPS in March last year, with some
countries in Europe reporting its un-
wanted presence in their regions.
Also reporting the unwanted pres-
ence of miraa in its territory to the UN
was Saudi Arabia.
The UN report says Saudi Arabia
has reported the largest miraa seizures
in the Middle East and, with the new
development, the trend could only in-
crease.
UN to classify miraa among narcotics
Report says khat abuse
is overtaking that of
traditional drugs such
as heroin and cocaine
A global map developed by the UN
shows how miraa moves from Kenya
and several other East African coun-
tries to the Middle East, Europe and
then to North America.
A new threat, the report says, is the
increasing number of seizures in
south-east Asia, which points to the
possibility that Indonesia is cultivating
its own miraa.
The UN describes NPS as sub-
stances of abuse, either in a pure form
or a preparation, that are not con-
trolled by previous international
agreements but are increasingly being
found to represent a public health
threat.
BEHAVIOUR MOOD
NPS are chemical substances that
cross the blood-brain barrier acting on
the nervous system to affect brain ac-
tion, which may result in alterations in
behaviour mood or perception.
The report say the number of NPS
has grown dramatically in the last few
years.
In the report, the National Author-
ity for the Campaign against Alcohol
and Drug Abuse indicates that emerg-
ing drugs are also in use in Kenya. They
give an example of amphetamines such
as mandrax being in use by a small but
worrying number of secondary school
students in Nairobi.
Last month, Ruth Kinuthia-Gathu,
who is a lecturer and researcher at Ke-
nyatta University, published a report
showing Kenyans in Nairobi and Mom-
basa are currently abusing more than
40 new substances, including painkill-
ers and ARVs.

The Netherlands will not withdraw
its citizens from Kenya over insecurity
threats.
The Dutch government will, howev-

the security situation.
The Netherlands ambassador to Ke-

was not planning to issue advisories.
Speaking at Maseno University in
Kisumu County during a public lecture
on freedom of communication on
Wednesday, Mr Reintjes said Kenya was
one of The Netherlands biggest busi-
ness partners hence they were keen to
promote bilateral ties.
There are incidents of insecurity
reported around but this does not
mean we pull our people out of the
country, said Reintjes.
The sentiments come in the wake of
travel advisories by the US, UK, France
and Australia to their citizens against
visiting Kenya, especially the coastal
city of Mombasa, a decision which has
caused uproar, with Coalition for Re-
forms and Democracy (CORD) blam-
ing the Jubilee Government for failing
to counter insecurity in the country.
The Kenya Government, however,
says the travel advisories by the four
Western countries over high threats of
terrorist attacks in the country were
aimed at causing unnecessary fear and
panic.

Barasas extradition case
postponed to later date
A case in which President Uhuru
Kenyatta has distanced himself from an
application by journalist Walter Barasa
seeking the withdrawal of International
Criminal Court (ICC) charges against him
and Deputy President William Ruto failed
to take off yesterday. Justice Isaac Lenaola
who was to preside over the hearing
was away at the East African Court of
Justice. A notice at the High Court said
fresh dates on the matter would be given
at the Registry. Barasa, who is ghting
extradition to the ICC, moved to court
seeking orders to quash Uhuru and Mr
Rutos cases on grounds that they are
constitutionally invalid, null and void
Court orders proceedings
typed in Omtatahs case
The Kibera Law Courts has ordered for
typed proceedings of a case in which an
activist is charged with disrespecting the
court. The court wants the proceedings to
be ready in 14 days. Human Rights Activist
Okiya Omtatah is being accused of hate
speech. He faces charges of disrespecting
the court by saying the court is being
used like a condom. Mr Omtatah who is an
executive director of Kenyans for Justice
and Development (Kejude) yesterday told
Principal Magistrate BM Ochoi that the
case has taken long in court and there
was no complainant. He added that he
has made several applications in court for
the prosecution to avail the proceedings
in vain.
Supkem given 456 days to hold
AGM and ofcials elections
In a letter dated May 14, the Registrar
of Societies has ordered the Supreme
Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem) to hold
elections in the next 45 days, a move that
is likely to spark jitters in the organisation.
The letter, signed by Ernest Kioko, accused
Supkem ofcials of violating Section 29 of
the Societies Act by failing to conduct the
organisations Annual General Meeting,
and holding of elections for all ofce
bearers. This ofce is in receipt of a
complaint dated April 23, 2014, requesting
our ofce to urgently intervene as a result
of inactiveness on the part of the executive
committee of the Supkem for failing to
hold AGMs for several years and therein
conduct elections of all ofce bearers,

NLC sued over illegal
appointment
The National Land Commission has been
sued over an alleged illegal appointment
for the position of Secretary to the County
Land Management Board of Wajir. An
application before the High Court in
Nairobi by Abdirahaman Mohamed and
Farah Abdinoor says the position has
been given to a non-resident of Wajir,
contrary to the expectations of the
countys residents. September 18, 2013,
NLC advertised for the positions in the
47 counties for members of the County
Lands Management Board and secretary
to the board. The two applicants want NLC
compelled to serve them with the true
copies of the shortlisted candidates.

Mary Deya, a woman who claims
that she gave birth to a miracle baby,
will now have to serve the rest of her
remaining three-year jail term.
Ms Deya had appealed against the
sentence handed down by a magis-
trates court claiming that the court
Miracle baby mother to fnish jail term
Mrs Deya had
appealed sentence by
a magistrates court
saying it lacked enough
proof to jail her
did not have sufcient evidence to jail
her.
However, High Court Judge Msagha
Mbogholi found that Deya is indeed
guilty and should serve the jail term.
She was convicted in 2011 of steal-
ing a child and also had two counts of
giving false information to James Kia-
rie, the Head of Department of Ob-
stetrics and Gynaecology at the Ke-
nyatta National Hospital on September
10, 2005.
I have no doubt in my mind that
the appellant stole this child, and to
justify the end result, she gave false
information. The offences were prov-
en beyond any reasonable doubt and
convictions were well founded, Jus-
tice Mbogholi said in his judgement.
Instead of ordering the sentences
to run consecutively as asked, he di-
rected the sentence to run concur-
rently as the offences were commit-
ted in a running transaction.
Deya appealed against the sen-
tence and then applied for bail as her
appeal was heard and determined,
which was granted.
In her appeal, she said the court
lacked sufcient evidence to sustain
the conviction.
LABOUR PAINS
There was no credible complain-
ant and the evidence tendered to es-
tablish the ingredients of the charg-
es, she had stated.
She maintained that her evidence
dented that of the prosecution.
She claimed that in September
2005, she went into labour while
shopping in Nakumatt Supermarket.
She says that she got into a taxi where
she delivered a baby boy and was then
taken to KNH.
However, tests done on her re-
vealed that she had not carried any
pregnancy nor given birth to the
child.
Laboratory tests done were found
negative for pregnancy, which brought
the conclusion that she was not the
childs mother, the court heard.
She had been sentenced to three
years for child theft and two years
each for the two counts of giving false
information to a public ofcer, a sen-
tence that she will now serve concur-
rently.

was sent to account number
00859184.
Speaking to the press in his ofce
on Monday, Attorney General Githu
Muigai revealed that both First Mer-
cantile Securities Corporation and
Spacenet Inc were linked to Kenyan
businessman Anura Perera.
According to Prof Muigai, the mon-

under the tenure of his predecessor,
Amos Wako.

Uhuru given an
investment award
BY STANDARD REPORTER
President Uhuru Kenyatta has
been honoured as the Africa Investors
Infrastructure Personality of the Year.
The award was given by Africa in-
vestor (Ai), a leading international in-
vestment and communications
group.
The announcement and presenta-
tion was made at the Ai CEO Infra-
structure Investment Summit that
took place in Nigeria.
The award was presented by Hu-
bert Danso, chief executive ofcer
and vice chairman of Africa investor,
who said; President Kenyatta has dis-
played a unique capacity to engage
and ensure the private sector partici-
pates and brings transformative infra-
structure projects to nancial and ca-
talysing job creation through each
phase of the projects.
Ruto persuades African leaders to
involve the youth in governance
Good infrastructure, proper secu-
rity and cheap electricity are key for
growth in our countries, Mr Ruto told
the gathering.
Ruto said Kenya is already provid-
ing opportunities to the youth in ad-
dition to allowing them access funds
for business and doing business with
the Government.
The Deputy President said access
to credit by small and medium size
businesses and youth was critical for
growth. He said the Government was
focusing more on training young Ke-
nyans in areas that are relevant in the
industry.
To mainstream the majority who
are young people, we are re-engineer-
ing education to enrich their skills
that are relevant in sectors we feel can
help our country grow, he said.
He also said commercial farming
was critical to help resolve the food
crisis in Africa. President Museveni
said development of infrastructure
and production of more electricity
BY DPPS
African leaders have agreed to in-
volve more youth in governance and
business in order to spur the conti-
nents economies.
However, the leaders said skills
and ideas would be more critical in
picking the youth other than age
alone. The leaders who included Dep-
uty President William Ruto were
speaking in Kigali, Rwanda during a
two-day meeting of the African Devel-
opment Bank.
Others were Ugandan President
Yoweri Museveni, Paul Kagame
(Rwanda), Ali Bongo (Gabon) and
Mauritanias Mohamed Abdelaziz. A
host of former presidents and other
dignitaries across the world attended
the forum.
The leaders agreed that although
most Africa countries realised growth
of more than ve per cent, the conti-
nent lacked proper infrastructure,
electricity and technology.
and making it cheaper would stimu-
late manufacturing and create more
jobs for the youth.
Now that most countries in this
region have discovered oil and gas, it
is important that we quickly revamp
our infrastructure, the Ugandan
leader added.
Museveni observed that the growth
being experienced in Africa was in
sectors that do not create jobs hence
the need for countries to refocus their
attention.
This is a continent of miracles.
Growth is high but on sectors that
dont create jobs. Weve growth with-
out infrastructure and electricity. We
have to think how to create jobs, he
said.
He said although the youth will be
incorporated in development, they
must be skilled people with ideas not
just age.
We have some youthful leaders
with very old ideas that cannot help
Africa, said Museveni.

BY NOELLA MUTANDA
C
ongratulations on purchasing your
insurance policy! So, do you have a
copy of the policy document and have
you read and understood what you have
committed yourself to? In the case of motor
vehicle insurance; apart from the sticker on
your windscreen, do you also have a policy
document for the same?
For starters, it is important to note that an
insurance policy is a legal contract between
the insurance company (the insurer) and
yourself (the insured). Like any contract that
we enter into, the insurance agreement is
only valid when the clauses contained therein
are honoured. Reading and understanding
the policy document, therefore, is crucial in
honouring the contract and consequently
benetting from the contract at the right
time. All insurance covers have policy
documents and it is important to get a copy
of this document from your insurer. In the
event of losses or claims, you are always asked
for or referred to the policy document. It is,
therefore, advisable to keep this document
safely for future reference.
YOUR OBLIGATIONS
By reading the policy document, you are
in a good position to verify whether it meets
your needs and that you understand your
obligations and those of your insurer. It is
true that reading a policy document is not
much fun as reading some action packed or
inspirational novel. Fact is that it is a fairly
complex document (I mean it is a contract
so what do we expect?) that tries to explain
all the things you are covered for, and all the
things that are excluded when a loss occurs.
We have had complaints of there being ne
prints in insurance documents making
it cumbersome to read. The Insurance
Regulatory Authority (IRA) has standardized
the policy documents without taking away
its importance, thereby, making them easier
to read and understand. Consumers now
have no excuse of failing to read their policy
documents and raising relevant questions
with their insurers in good time.
EVIDENCE OF THE CONTRACT
An insurance policy is the document, which
is the evidence of the contract between the
insurer and yourself. Many people purchase
policies without understanding what is
covered, the exclusions that may take away
some coverage, and the conditions that must
be met in order for a claim to be paid should
a loss occur. This lack of understanding
is one of the causes of many complaints
against insurance companies when it comes
to claims settlement.
The policy document spells out the risks
covered and which the insurance company
commits itself to take care of in the event of
a loss. It also gives a description of the item
covered and the nancial limit available
should the loss occur. Critical in the policy
document is the commencement and expiry
date of the contract.
BEWARE OF EXCLUSIONS
In the same document, the exclusions are
also spelt out. These are the losses which
may not be covered by the policy should a
loss occur. Many insurance complaints arise
from the exclusion clauses, which on most
occasions are not read or well understood.
For instance, a medical insurance policy may
not cover the medical bills if they result from
hospital expenses of an attempted suicide.
Likewise, a life policy will not be honoured
if the insured committed suicide. A motor
policy does not pay for wear and tear or
even mechanical breakdown since these are
inevitable. A re policy, on the other hand
does not pay for re loss if the insured is
involved in starting the re. The above four
examples are not accidental in nature and
cannot be paid by insurance companies.
Remember that for a loss to be payable, it
must be accidental in nature.
Your policy document also has a section that
elaborates the things that you are supposed
to do during the policy and after a loss has
occurred. These are called conditions. They
are provisions that have been included in the
policy document and can be used to qualify
or place some limitations on the insurance
companys promise to pay. If you do not
observe these conditions, the insurance
company may deny a claim. The conditions
vary according to the policies. For instance,
in the case of a motor insurance policy,
you are required to keep the vehicle in a
sound mechanical condition. Should you be
involved in an accident and the vehicle was
not in a good mechanical state, the company
may use this as a ground for declining the
claim.
GOOD NEWS
The good news is that insurance companies
now provide insurance policy information
that is easier to understand. However, you
still need to review the document carefully
and raise any questions you have within a
stipulated time without incurring loss in the
form of premiums already paid.
Remember, it is your right to be issued with
the policy document.

WHAT OTHER MEDIA SAY...
E
ven after the High Court lifted the ban on
night travel for public service vehicles, the
Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Mr Michael
Kamau still maintains that the ban is on. This is the
second time he has ignored court orders though he
insists he has not been served with them.
While this contest of wills between the Executive
and Judiciary goes on, the commuter, the ordinary
Kenyan at whose service the two protagonists should
be, is suffering. The negative effects of the ban on the
economy and social lives as many devise ways to beat
the ban cannot be gainsaid. The rule of law must take
effect since we cannot sit in limbo indefinitely because
banning night travel is one way, among many, of
minimising road accidents.
And that is why Kamaus insistence that all heavy
commercial vehicles be fitted with speed governors,
while acceptable, does not even attempt to address the
issue of accidents involving trucks. Heavily laden
trucks hardly reach the legal speed limit on the
highways. One of the biggest problems, the engineer
should know, is the width and length of the trucks
vis-a-vis the width of the roads. The sluggish pace of
movement, mechanical breakages along the roads that
occasion dangerous, unmarked stalling and brake
failure from poor maintenance and overloading are the
major contributors to accidents involving these trucks.
Some of the most effective measures of reducing
accidents involving trucks would include building
special lanes for lorries and specially designated
parking areas away from the main roads to make them
clear of obstructions. Night movement of trucks should
be banned alongside the PSVs. No trucks should be
allowed on the roads beyond 6pm. This will also give
drivers time to relax and reduce fatigue. Speed gover-
nors alone will not achieve much.
But most importantly, the humans operating the
machines should be drilled to value human life for
what it is: priceless.

T
his week, South B residents were
treated to another spectacle of
property demolitions where
government bulldozers flattened buildings
worth hundreds of millions of shillings,
claiming that these residential units had
been constructed on land belonging to the
Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and
Fisheries.
However, this incident was not just
about the destruction of property belong-
ing to investors. It was more about how
mired in corruption issues concerning
land have become that it is difficult to
determine whose right to property is
legitimate.
Some of those who say their land was
destroyed insist they had title deeds
granted by the Ministry of Lands.
However, the Ministry of Agriculture
says this land belongs to the Kenya
Veterinary Vaccines Production Institute
and dismisses claims that occupants had
not been given notice to relocate.
It took the intervention of President
Uhuru Kenyatta to stop the demolitions,
but even then, the so-called owners of
these properties still have to relocate after
an amnesty was extended before the
demolitions resume.
These demolitions comes less than a
fortnight after the Minister of Lands
completed an exercise designed to clean
up its registry and allow faster processing
of transactions involving sale and transfer
of land.
What is emerging from the South B
event is that there is confusion regarding
the legitimacy of some title deeds issued
by the Ministry of Lands, but even before
this issue has been resolved, one arm of
Government has moved ahead and
ordered the demolition of property in an
action designed to engineer a fait accomp-
li. This is regrettable because in actions
such as this, all too often, the biggest
losers are those who purchased land after
documents provided by the Lands ministry
ascertained that these were legitimate
properties with no encumbrances.
In the past few years, it has become
patently obvious that some of the titles
issued by the ministry have legitimacy
issues, but unfortunately those who seek
titles from the Lands office have no way of
knowing this.
It becomes a case of criminal irrespon-
sibility when the same Government that
issued the titles now seeks to disown
them.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Felix
Kosgey says it is up to those who have
been issued with such titles to take up the
matter with the courts. This is tactless and
a little callous.
Why should innocent Kenyans pay the
price for institutional corruption at Ardhi
House? It is the cardinal responsibility of
the government to protect the rights and
property of its citizens, including the
hard-earned money they use to buy
property. While we do not condone
corruption, shifting the blame to punish
victims of corruption is unacceptable. It
kills the urge to invest.
There are several questions in regard to
the South B demolitions. Why did the
demolishers wait until the constructions
were in such an advanced state before
they acted? And why didnt the Ministry of
Agriculture place caveats to warn potential
buyers of their claim to these parcels?
Those in Government must remember
that title deeds are sacrosanct and where
issues arise over their legitimacy, due
process must be followed to establish the
truth.
The Senate Foolishly Rushes In
The Senate is unnecessarily rushing to
vote on Presideant Obamas nomination of
David Barron for a seat on the United States
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in
Boston, even though the public has yet to see
documents written by Mr Barron that have
raised legitimate concern among civil liberties
advocates on both the left and the right. Mr
Barron, a Harvard law professor, was a top
ofcial in the Justice Departments Ofce of
Legal Counsel when he wrote two classied
memos justifying the drone strike in Yemen in
2011 that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American
citizen accused of being a terrorist. Following
lawsuits brought by the American Civil
Liberties Union and The New York Times...
Russia-China gas deal: Strengthening of
ties bodes ill for US power
In 1972, at the height of the Cold War,
President Nixon made his famous visit to China
to normalise relations with Beijing and thus
gain advantage against its superpower rival, the
Soviet Union. This week, Russias Vladimir Putin
made his journey to China. The countries in this
strategic triangle are the same, but their roles
have been transformed. Russia, the successor
state of the Soviet Union, is a diminished power.
The US remains a superpower, but also in
decline, at least in relative terms. That trend in
turn reects the emergence of China dormant
40 years ago as a mighty global force, with an
economy expected soon to overtake that of the
US.In 1972, the odd man out in the triangle was
Moscow.
The question of choice
All the promise and all the anxiety surrounding
the future of public education lit up center stage
in a basement banquet room at Petterinos
Restaurant in the Loop on Wednesday. And we
do mean lit up. This debate, part of the Tribunes
Chicago Forward series, was feisty. Combative.
Explosive. Engrossing. Education is critical to
building a safe Chicago, a working Chicago, a
Chicago in which every neighborhood thrives. This
page has argued that school choice is essential
to improving education here, and weve heard
from hundreds of readers who have contributed
to our New Plan of Chicago series with ideas to
boost charters and expand choice. But charters
still have a sales job to do, a job that will be key to
future expansion.

KIRATU KAMUNYA } What informed appointment of regional commissioners
W
hat could be the rea-
son behind the Presi-
dents move to elevate
county commissioners to the level
of county chief executive ofcers in
co-coordinating national govern-
ment functions.
Needless to say, lack of under-
standing and misinformation have
characterised the debate on the
new powers to the county commis-
sioners. In a way, what has actually
taken place is that the President
has moved to clarify the role of
county commissioners due to pol-
icy considerations and as the law
provides.
One of the reasons that in-
formed the Presidents move is the
need to strengthen the coordina-
tion of national government func-
tions at the county level.
A fundamental point which has
been missed by both the governors
and the CORD brigade is that the
term chief executive ofcers ap-
plies to the county commissioners
only in their role in coordinating

KIPKOECH TANUI}
JUBI LEE WRANGLES
Anti-Waiguru crusade tip of the iceberg
ing was the decision to support the
motion against Waiguru and the
lamentation that Ruto was no lon-
ger accessible and that his aides
were no longer facilitators, but
mean gatekeepers turning every-
one away.
The third was to do with the
President and the fallout over the
Anglo Leasing payments. Though
directed at Odingas party, Kenyat-
ta had told off his critics and asked
them to wait for him to nish his
term. I hope URP listened: Shut
up until my ve years end!
Mr William Ruto, who for en-
tirely different reasons was said to
have okayed Ruguts removal, but
Waiguru rushed to ll the position
without asking for a name, has
chosen to remain silent.
This can only mean one thing;
he does not want to be seen to be
the godfather of the new war on
Waiguru, because he knows only a
few people in the country have the
capacity to mobilise such num-
bers against one of the Presidents
closest condants, and he, accord-
ing to conspiracy theorists, could
easily pass for a suspect.
The bottom line is, Ruto faces a
tricky situation; how to manage his
relationship with his boss but still
keep his supporters happy espe-
cially given that The Hague glue
may be thawing.
But the President faces two
tricky situations: stemming the
groundswell in the Rift Valley,
keeping Ruto on the radar as he
doles out the State pie in the direc-
tion he prefers; deciding to save or
not to save Waiguru about whom
we reserve the right to ask whether
she a victim of a proxy war.

L
ast week something in-
teresting happened on
President Uhuru Kenyat-
tas timeline on Facebook. The
posting in question as you may
have seen before it was pulled
down, was Uhuru sharing news
that, Today I witnessed the swear-
ing in of Dr Nelson Githinji as the
new Director-General of National
Youth Service.
The President and his other
friends did not of course realise
how badly this was going to be tak-
en by the United Republican Party
(URP).
The unstated fact was that this
was to be seen as the Presidents
signature to the removal of Mr Ki-
plimo Rugut from NYS, as evi-
denced by the tribal comments
that followed.
So this quickly became a digi-
tal war between members of Ki-
kuyu and Kalenjin communities,
and I guess it gave the President a
random sample of what is actually
happening in the two political tec-
tonic plates that form the Jubilee
Coalition: Mr William Rutos URP
(largely Rift Valley) and The Na-
tional Alliance (Mount Kenya Re-
gion).
The thrust of the arguments by
the Kalenjins was: Uhuru was
playing the tribal card the way his
father, Mzee Kenyatta did; Ruto
was just a minority shareholder in
the Jubilee conglomerate whose
voice will always be drowned at
the Annual General Meeting; and
lastly, that Kalenjins should like
CORD-friendly communities
smell the coffee, accept and move
on!
To drive the point home, the
tribal origins of Uhurus recent ap-
pointments did the rounds.
Uhurus tribal block reacted
with the outrageous one that you
(Ruto and his Kalenjins) were
bought fully and so hiyo bi-
ashara iliisha kitambo (that payoff
was concluded long ago).
Others reminded Ruto that
what was happening to him, and
which will probably get more
clearer to him as days go by, was
that this was what befell Raila
Odinga when he agreed to a lop-
sided power-sharing deal with
the cunning Mwai Kibaki in 2008.
But as the brickbats ew, there
were sober comments from Uhu-
rus side, largely arguing that the
President, in his actions, was turn-
ing back the clock of ethnic rela-
tions in the country.
They asked him why for the
sake of a few who benet, he was
casting the Kikuyu again as politi-
cally selsh, untrustworthy and
manipulative.
There were also Kalenjins who
asked what the community stood
to gain from a handful of public
jobs and advised that Rutos peo-
ple should instead lobby for devel-
opment projects like roads,
schools, hospitals, electricity and
water.
By the time State House pulled
down the posting, it had attracted
4,500 reactions.
If this were idle banter, even as
assurances were given by Uhurus
apparatchiks led by besieged De-
volution Cabinet Secretary Anne
Waiguru that Rugut would be giv-
en another job, three things that
happened next would dene
where we are probably headed.
The rst was that over 100 MPs,
largely and strangely from TNA
signed to support a motion seek-
ing to have Parliament censure
Waiguru which, if successful,
would then blackmail the Presi-
dent into asking her to resign.
The architect, Igembe South
MP Mithika Linturi, gave the fol-
lowing grounds: gross misconduct
and gross violation of the Consti-
tution.
Questions were asked why if
Waiguru was the untouchable
member of Cabinet, (who I last
week analogously pointed out as
commanding the respect we ac-
cord to naked electricity wires)
why would TNA MPs play with
re?
The answer would come out in
the second thing that happened,
but let us go to the third before we
are done with Waiguru for this
week. Rift Valley MPs, the political-
ly correct way of avoiding saying
Kalenjin MPs, secretly met in Nai-
robi, and the subject was assess-
ment of their shareholding in Ju-
bilee Government against their
representation in the board-
room.
The verdict was that the ratio
was far below the 50-50. Does
Railas nusu-mkate (half a loaf)
lamentation ring a bell? What
poked my ribs was the whisper
that indeed the MPs and senators
candidly conceded to each other
that back home, the ground was
bad, which is a euphemism for
hostility at the grassroots. One, in
fact, told them that they were be-
ing asked to speak like Nandi
Hills MP Alfred Keter!
This particular Keter along-
side Mr Isaac Ruto if you remem-
ber, raised some dust about cor-
ruption and tribalism in Jubilee,
but Mr William Ruto repulsed the
two with the disdain one does
while swatting at a y on your coat
lapel.
But the two most important
things that happened at the meet-
government functions at the coun-
ty level and not as the chiefs of
county governments.
On the legal front, the President
by dint of article 131(a), is the Head
of State and government.
It is important to point out that
although there are two levels of
government, at the county and at
the national level, the Presidents
authority is not conned to State
House in Nairobi to the exclusion
of any other part of the nation
where governors would then reign
supreme.
This is because the powers of
the President and the national gov-
ernment to provide proper admin-
istration and security are to be ex-
ercised in the whole republic.
As such, there is nothing as
completely autonomous and inde-
pendent structures called counties
because not only would such a sit-
uation override the Constitution, it
would also be against the spirit of
interdependency and complemen-
tarity between the two levels of
government.
This principle is well laid out in
Article 6(2) and Article 189 of the
Constitution. Article 132(3) (b) out-
lines one of the Presidents func-
tions as the power to coordinate
and direct government ministries
and departments.
The national government can-
not achieve rmness and clear ow
of authority in enhancing service
delivery and fullling the pledges it
made to Kenyans in the absence of
a central coordinating authority at
the county level with a direct link to
the national government.
Delegation of national govern-
ment functions to the various de-
partments and agencies at the
county level has resulted in an in-
coherent system that undermined
service delivery.
The Presidents move to clarify
the role of county commissioners
must be seen in this context.
It has the net effect of enhanc-
ing synergy and coherence of na-
tional government in the perfor-
mance of its functions.
Coordination of government
functions has previously been
achieved through the District De-
velopment Committees, but with
the county governments in place,
these committees are no longer vi-
able.
This has resulted in the lack of a
central authority with express pow-
ers from the Presidency to effec-
tively coordinate and unify the ex-
ecutive functions on a regular
basis.
In the end, you nd that the ex-
ecutive at the county level is shared
out into a number of agencies and
departments, which divide respon-
sibility.
With no clarity on the frame-
work and institutional support for
implementation of interdepart-
mental programmes and func-
tions, it is difcult to manage a
complex establishment with no
central authority.

Amazing Kenya, the land of
contrasts! Nobody in Gov-

ranking and pecking order.
An old adage
has it that
the nearer
the bone the
sweeter the
meat. So it
is that the
nearer to the
President the
more powerful one is. An email
from the Head of Presidential
Strategic and Communica-
tion Unit, Mr Manoah Esipisu,
ordered the payment of Sh1.4
billion for the Anglo Leasing-
related contracts. Interesting.
Did a member of the Public
Accounts Committee warn
about criminal responsibility?
Hard not to read between the
lines especially given that the
hydra-headed monster called
Anglo Leasing will be here with
us for long.
The president is a swell
guy, thats for sure. He is easy
going and when he is himself,
his camaraderie deportment
endearing. From Fridays live
press conference from State
House, there are those who
feel that His Excellency has
been undergoing a metamor-
phosis and is getting angrier
by the day. Palaver proposed
that the President slows down.
Politics can be energy-sapping
most of the time. Go out and
have some fun (please invite
Palaver along). Have nyama

shake that we all associate you
with.
Like father like son, so goes
the saying. Sheep will beget
sheep and man shall beget man.
The environment we grow in
matters. It is rumoured that mur-
derous Joseph Kony has handed
over the reigns of the Lords
Resistance Army to his son!
Necessity, they say, is
the mother of all invention.
Perhaps men have been going
hungry hence the temptation
to kill the hunger pangs using
liquor, but end up blind and in
morgues. Women in Kandara
have decided to sensitise
insensate men on the dangers
of eating alcohol and they
did this in style. They were not
mouthy, they came armed with
porridge and milk!
And nally...

Police should respect learning
institutions
As much as university students may have
been wrong to demonstrate against the
alleged fees hike, it was worse to sh
them out of lecture halls or even hostels.
It is wise to sweep them from the streets
but the moment they retreat to their
institutions of learning, they should be
safe. By retreating to the institution, they
were not rioting anymore; it was like they
had surrendered. It was a pity seeing
these students being frog-marched to the
police lorry like terrorists. - Vincent Onoka
Kawangware residents complain of
poor state of Gitanga Road
The section of Gitanga Road just after
Rusinga School in Kawangware is in
a deplorable state. Saloon cars can
hardly navigate through the water
lled craters, made worse by sewage
from the perpetually burst sewer lines
along the road. Poor residents now feel
discriminated against solely on the basis
of their poverty, since neither the county
government nor the Roads authority
seem to notice their plight. Kenyan
taxpayers using this road are saying
enough to enough! - Tim
Female genital mutilation would
never safeguard a girls behaviour
I call on the Government to heavily
punish parents and circumcisors caught
performing female genital mutilation
(FGM). Despite the transmission of HIV
and Aids and related STDs, the victims
are left traumatised, as the act is often
performed without consent. If our
brothers and sisters from communities
where this practice is still upheld can
agree that FGM cannot safeguard a
womans behaviour, then we can achieve
dignity without harming our beautiful
women. - Raphael Wangari
Security is a matter of collective
responsibility
The Government issued a directive to
public service vehicles not to collect
passengers at undesignated points. This
seems to have fallen on deaf years. A
spot check in Nairobi city indicates that
most Kenyans are waiting for vehicles at
their favourites points while passengers
are being allowed to board vehicles
without undergoing security check as
was ordered. This is dangerous and a
great violation of the law. It is a collective
responsibility of all Kenyans to ensure
our own security, rather than start
blaming each other after we have lost
lives from terrorist strikes. - MutaI
China deals welcome but we
also need Western markets
When the Chinese came calling
in Kenya and agreed to nance the
standard gauge railway, I was cau-
tiously elated. Im optimistic that
this project will be key to economic
and political developments in the
region, maybe even bigger than
when the British colonial regime
built the Kenya-Uganda railway at
the turn of the 20th century.
As much as I would like to en-
courage South-South relations, we
cannot afford to ignore the United
States and her allies in Europe,
Canada, Australia and Japan.
Incidentally, these are also the
biggest markets for China, as they
are for Kenya. A study of our ex-
ports markets in years gone by up
to the present reveals that the Eu-
ropean Union consumes much of
our agricultural products, as does
the biggest source market for tour-
ists.
When you look at the global ow
of investment capital and tourists
numbers, guess who shares most in
many global aspirations? The US.
In terms of academic and pro-
fessional pursuits, the West has al-
ways come rst for Kenyan stu-
dents. This is because the United
States retains the top-most univer-
sities, followed by Europe and her
allies, including Australia.
EMBRACE DIALOGUE
Incidentally, investments from
China are growing in importance,
and so is her growing middle class,
which is spurring growth in global
tourists. But it would be foolhardy
to look at just China when other
growing economies are looking at
both China and the West.
It is true that recent travel advi-
sories by the US, UK, Australia and
France may result in a plunge for
our tourism industry. But in as
much as we are diversifying our
economy to other frontiers like oil
and mining, it would be imprudent
to ignore some key pillars like tour-
ism, manufacturing and agricul-
ture.
Inevitably, the biggest market
for our main foreign exchange
earners happens to be the West,
which is also the global leader in in-
novations, especially in technology
and science.
If we review the Nobel prizes
over the last 30 years, Western sci-
entists and economists have domi-
nated the science and economics
prizes. Look at the most global in-
novative companies and you will
notice that the West and allies and
allies such as South Korea have left
huge footprints.
Yes, China is rising and should
maintain the pace but in a highly
globalised world, you need every-
body.
In a nutshell, our policies need
to embrace dialogue and work with
both East and West. We need the
capital and the markets. We need to
develop the market in the East
without letting the Western market
dip. Our miniscule exports to China
should not force us abandon our
major markets.

We recently heard of a family in
Baringo that had gone without food
for many days, prompting them to
turn on their pet.
Since independence, Kenya has
never lacked horrifying news of
families eating foods considered an
abomination in their communi-
ties.
Today, drought and hunger has
agains stalked many parts of our
country, forcing herders to leave
their homes in search of water and
food for their animals.
As a result, many schools in the
affected areas have either not re-
opened or have only a handful of
pupils turning up, as their families
have moved away.
Through Devolution and Plan-
ning Cabinet Secretary Anne Waig-
uru, the Government has acknowl-
edge and conrmed that thousands
of people are at risk.
RIGHT TO FOOD
According to the Constitution,
all Kenyans have a right to food. Ar-
ticle 43 explicitly refers to the right
to adequate food in the context of
economic, social and cultural rights
that are essential for people to live
in dignity.
Food should be available and
sufcient both in quantity and
quality to satisfy the dietary needs
of individuals, free from adverse
substances, and acceptable within
a given culture.
These rights to food in Kenya
have been challenged by climate
change and human encroachment
on water-catchment areas.
The Government should by now
have come up with measures to en-
sure that water conservation meth-
ods are practised during the rainy
season for use during drought.
Irrigation projects can be intro-
duced in the semi-arid areas be-
cause some of them are fertile
enough for agriculture.

Lifting night travel ban
great relief for traders
The recent reversal of the
night travel ban imposed by
the Government through the
Transport Cabinet Secretary is
good news for many Kenyans.
Most travellers, especially long-
distance ones, have suffered
a great deal since the ban was
pronounced.
From students to traders,
all were compelled by
circumstances to seek
accommodation whenever dusk
caught up with them before
their journey was over. Besides
increased costs, they had to
endure the risks associated with
spending a night in town.
In addition, the prohibition led
to reduced volume of trade
since travelling time ate into
business hours. For students
from upcountry, arriving at
school after travelling all day
put them on a coalition course
with the school administration;
besides their exposure to many
security risks.
However, I also would like to
remind the PSV operators,
particularly the crews, that
night travel still involves the
same challenges they contended
with before the ban was
declared.
To avoid them, they ought
to abide by the State laws
that require them to frisk all
passengers boarding their
vehicles.
They should maintain their
machines in good condition,
abstain from using drugs and
alcohol, especially for drivers,
observe road safety rules
and co-operate with security
operators whenever they
bump into suspicious-looking
characters.
{Alfred Mosoti, Baraton}
Students need a
raise, not a slash
The impending decision by the
Higher Education Loans Board (Helb)
to slash the maximum loan provided
to a university student by Sh25,000 is
outrageous and disheartening.
Currently, university students are
allowed to receive a maximum of
Sh60,000 during one year of study. If
this decision is implemented, students
will be forced to survive on a mere
Sh35,000 for each academic year.
The Treasury department seems to
have forgotten about the rise in num-
ber of students currently being en-
rolled in different universities across
the country. It has maintained its allo-
cation of funds without considering
this increase.
Helbs move to adjust disburse-
ments will denitely be met by resis-
tance from various if not all university
students across the country.
Considering the ever challenging
economy, Sh35,000 might be what a
university student needs to survive for
a single semester rather than a full ac-
ademic year.
Education is an important pillar for
the success of our nation. It is the Gov-
ernments duty to provide university
students with adequate funding in or-
der to ensure that they pay their fees
on time and meet their personal needs
effectively.
In fact, there is need to raise, not
lower, the maximum loan from
Sh60,000. Treasury needs to bear in
mind the changing economy and strat-
egise for effective raising of extra funds
to cater for university students.

Address the drug
menace now
Drug and substance abuse is one of
the major problems affecting the Ke-
nyan population, with statistics indi-
cating that young people aged be-
tween 16 and 30 are most vulnerable
to the effects.
The National Authority for the
Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug
Abuse says 9.1 per cent and 13.3 per
cent of Kenyans are recurrent tobacco
and alcohol users respectively. This
high prevalence of abuse is a result of
increased availability and changing
methods of administration.
Substances such as bhang have re-
cently been able to escape the atten-
tion of authorities because of the in-
novative ways of packaging as
harmless cookies and cakes. This has
made it easily accessible and preferred
by young people, who experiment with
drugs due to peer pressure.
Abuse has moved from known sub-
stances such as alcohol, miraa, bhang
and tobacco into previously unknown
ones such as sleeping pills, tranquilliz-
ers, prescription drugs, cough mix-
tures, inhalants and shisha.
In order for the nations develop-
ment goals to be realised, the drug
menace among the youth must be ad-
dressed.

Smoked out
I
have been thinking about
Prezzo UKs recent pro-
nouncements that hardly
make any sense beyond being
amusing to me. But since they
were not meant for comic relief,
I feared I was missing some-
thing.
In one moment, Prezzo is
lambasting civil servants for not
taking pay cuts, in the next he is
blasting foreign governments for
discouraging their citizens from
touring the country.
In another moment, he is
condoling a bereaved family,
while miraculously remaining on
the phone to issue a roadside
declaration to one Mike Sonko,
effectively stopping a demolition
in progress. And before Sonko
disconnects the line, Prezzo is on
the road to champion domestic
tourism.
Such is his itinerary, and we
havent even started reecting on
his nationwide tours to adjudi-
cate over various Government
projects, personally meeting his
team with both enthusiasm and
warmth.
On such occasions, he rubs
his hands together, as though he
is itching to greet someone, al-
most always accompanied by a
smile that shows he is enjoying
himself. But the smile hardly
lasts in his addresses, and his
hand-rubbing gestures quickly
degenerate into hand-throwing
antics as Prezzos tenor shifts to
an angry roar.
From his own admission, we
now know Prezzos jittery man-
ner stems from inadequate sleep,
for he says he is having sleepless
nights as he works from one cri-
sis to another.
He seems unable to grasp the
meaning of rhetoric from his
Western friends, the ones that
warn about consequences, yet
routinely invite to banquets only
meant for a select few.
There was that meet with Da-
vid Cameron, the British premier
famous for those schoolboy
stunts like taking seles when
adults are mourning and who
atly refused to take any pictures
with our democratically elected
leader.
The latter attribute is used de-
liberately to remind Western de-
tractors that, contrary to their
widely held view, there are func-
tioning institutions in this part of
the world that can guarantee sta-
bility and continuity.
TRYING TOO HARD
That said it might be useful to
remind ourselves that the na-
tional electoral body, Indepen-
dent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission admits they were
operating at 50 per cent efcien-
cy and thats only a self-assess-
ment which means their true
worth must have been far be-
low.
But Im digressing. What I
mean to say is that since there is
no a crisis over the legitimacy of
the Jubilee administration, Prez-
zo does not need to try too hard
to be the Father of the Nation.
That goes without saying, unless
of course he is suffering from the
Big Man syndrome, which is
The Treasury has conrmed wiring Sh1.4 bil-
lion to Anglo Leasing this week, the phantom out-
t that has, to use the clichd expression, tra-
versed this land like the colossus over the past
decade. Presumably, the matter will now be put
to rest.
But some will hear none of it, especially the
Opposition politicians who grilled Finance PS
over the matter.
If we didnt have fellow citizens starving in Bar-
ingo and so in urgent need of assistance, it would
have been possible to appreciate the hilarity of
the Anglo Leasing saga.
Our law-abiding Prezzo said he was paying be-
cause he didnt want any backlash over non-pay-
ment of the Anglo Leasing contracts, most of
which we now know involved the delivery of ma-
hewa (air) and not the equipment specied in
those contracts.
Apparently, the advice to pay up came from
very learned friends, so you and I who are laymen
may not quite grasp how failure to allow a thief
steal from you time and again can be used as ev-
idence against you.
Moreover, if the said thief is not a lender, then
one wonders what would be the risk. But again,
the law is a strange creature, so even though An-
glo Leasing was conrmed as a phantom operat-
ing from a disused building in rural England, they
had tentacles all over the world, and so could mi-
raculously sign contracts with foreign govern-
ments without setting foot here.
So rather than critise Prezzo UK, he should be
applauded for providing leadership and resolving
a matter that has plagued this land for a whole
decade.
Last Sunday night, hoodlums blocked
the Nairobi-Nakuru highway around
Kangemi and erected a toll station where
every motorist was ordered to make a pay-
ment for safe passage.
Those who resisted, as I did, were
threatened by a twig-wielding goon, while
another hurled rocks to block one from
driving on. One inebriated goon came to
the window and told me they were collect-
ing money to take to the hospital a boy
who had been knocked down. I didnt see
any boy there, but there was a body cov-
ered under a blanket.
I managed to extricate myself from the
chaos unscathed, but the memories of ter-
ror lingers.
Now that the National Transport and
Safety Authority (NTSA) have inaugurated
vehicles for highway patrols, we should
expect that any prospects of goons taking
over highways shall be a thing of the
past.
But I could be mistaken; NTSAs prima-
ry interest has been in those drinking and
driving, not drunks who threaten sober
drivers. A friend that I told about my or-
deal said those goons should count them-
selves lucky as he wasnt there; he would
have knocked down anyone who stood in
his way.
I was too sober to have attempted that,
but it certainly does sound like something
many would do in self-defence.
Why Treasury has provided astute
leadership over Anglo Leasing saga
Where is NTSA as goons take
charge of highways at night?
Big Man syndrome is the condition thats
preventing Prezzo UK from sleeping well
manifest by a desire to oversee
every aspect of the citizens lives.
I think that Prezzos preponder-
ance to promote the country as a
safe destination for tourism, even
when idiots are detonating ex-
plosives every few minutes,
works very well to enhance his
business-oriented administra-
tion.
Thats consistent with his
Government policies that dem-
onstrate little empathy for watu
wa mapato ya hali ya chini (ordi-
nary folk) who cannot afford pa-
tronising the tourist establish-
ments now lying idle.
Further, Prezzo has to cut
through the tomfoolery delivered
by his Western friends. This is
how the British Government in-
formed its citizens to shun Ke-
nya: The FCO advises against all
but essential travel to Mombasa
island and within 5km of the
coast from Mtwapa Creek in the
north down to and including Tiwi
in the south. This area does not
include Diani or Moi Interna-
tional Airport.
Perhaps they expect Prezzo to
take the Big Five to the airport
and given his restive state, I
wouldnt be surprised if he did.
The Big Man can manage the Big
Five.

Kenya has beat ve African coun-
tries to be selected to host a Regional
Centre of Excellence which will be
monitoring the safety of medical
drugs and substances and preventing
their adverse effects.
This means the country is now a
model where other African countries
are expected to be coming to upgrade
their capacity of monitoring drug
safety, technically called pharma-
covigilance.
The Pharmacy and Poisons Board
(PPB) was selected by the Africa
Unions economic development pro-
gramme, called New Partnership for
Africas Development.
In Africa, Kenya is the fourth lead-
ing reporter of adverse drug reactions
to the World Health Organisation
(WHO) and the leading in the East
and Central African region. It has re-
ported more than 7,600 such reac-
tions.
PPB launched the pharmacovigi-
lanceprogramme in 2009 and estab-
lished a National Pharmacovigilance
Centre.
The centre has eight members of
staff with both local and international
training, including at the WHO, on is-
sues of pharmacovigilance.
UNDERGOING TRAINING
The board has trained health work-
ers and other stakeholders such as
representatives of the pharma indus-
try in Kenya on pharmacovigilance
and medicine safety.
By March, over 10,000 individuals
from the countrys public and private
sectors had undergone the training.
Currently, students in medical and
pharmacy schools, including the Uni-
versity of Nairobi and the Kenya Med-
ical Training College are undergoing
training on monitoring and reporting
drug reactions and safety before they
graduate.
We are honoured to receive such
recognition and look forward to work-
ing with our partners in contributing
to Kenyas knowledge-generation ca-
pacity. This means we have the free-
dom to set our own research priori-
ties, said the boards Registrar Dr

The Eastern Africa Journalists As-
sociation (EAJA) has called for a probe
into alleged threats to a local journal-
ist over a story touching on the ongo-
ing terrorist threats.
EAJAs local afliate, Kenya Corre-
spondents Association (KCA), said
Lydia Ngoolo, a correspondent with
The Star newspaper based in Mwingi,
Kitui County, claimed there were
threats to her life by some police of-
cers, administration ofcials and a lo-
cal MP over a story calling for investi-
gations on terror in the region.
The journalist has reportedly gone
into hiding following the threats
which included anonymous tele-
phone calls by people believed to be
part of the business community in the
region, who could be linked to a net-
work facilitating the inux of illegal
immigrants from Somalia.
The story, quoting residents, called
for investigations into the goings-on
in a deserted building in the town,
which the residents fear is being used
to house illegal immigrants who could
be part of the terrorist networks cur-
rently causing mayhem.
CID INTERVENTION
According to local media reports,
the residents of Mwingi town fear the
building, under private security
guards behind a high perimeter wall,
has been housing suspicious people
in transit from Northern Kenya and
Somalia.
EAJA Secretary General Alexandre
Niyungeko said the threats against the
journalist should be treated with seri-
ousness and urged the Government to
immediately launch investigations
and prosecute those involved.
KCA has condemned the threats
and called for urgent investigations
into the matter.
We are surprised that instead of
the police investigating the allega-
tions they have instead turned on the
journalist, threatening and intimidat-
ing her, said KCA Chairman Oloo
Janak.

structed the Mwingi Central CID boss
Charles Marangu to record a state-

some learners and deny them the
chance to exploit their talents.
By saying that only pupils in the
lower primary aged 6-8 years and
upper primary aged between 9-13
be allowed to perform, KMF or-

Study: Male cut staff overwhelmed by work
A survey carried out in
various African nations
shows more Kenyan
workers are tired out
of high workload
threaten what has become an exam-
ple of success in Africa.
About seven years ago, Kenya set a
target to increase the percentage of
circumcised men nationally from 85
per cent to 94 per cent in three to ve
years by performing 860,000 proce-
dures by last year.
By GATONYE GATHURA
The national male circumcision
programme is in problems with most
workers claiming burnout from high
workload and impossible targets.
A survey of the programmes in Ke-
nya, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zim-
babwe shows local workers are the
most fatigued.
Information coming directly from
the workers indicates more than two
thirds is already stressed while col-
leagues say this could be as high as 90
per cent.
This is a worrying trend but not
totally unexpected considering the re-
petitive nature of such procedures,
Dr George Githuka, the head of the
programme, told The Standard yester-
day.
He said with the new evidence,
they will now seek a way out to save
the workers from burnout while re-
taining them in the programme.
The survey carried out by among
others Dr Peter Cherutich, deputy di-
rector at the National Aids and STI
Control Programme, and edited by
Nathan Ford of the World Health Or-
ganisation says worker fatigue could
But this work, which has won Ke-
nya international accolades, is now
said to have left workers totally ex-
hausted.
The survey published two weeks
ago in the journal Plos One had sam-
pled 235 sites locally and some more
in the other countries, with Kenya,
which was the rst to start the pro-
gramme, having more workers say
they are tired.
The workers are burning out from
performing a single task repeatedly in
a high volume work environment that
produces long work hours of intense
effort, says the study, which was
funded by the American Government.
The physical strain of standing for
many hours, and the monotony of re-
peating the same procedure are
claimed to be some of the factors con-
tributing to the fatigue.
EXTENDED PERIODS
Other factors include attending to
high volumes of clients over extended
periods which translates into emo-
tional exhaustion.
These, the researchers say could
be attributing to possible high rates of
worker attrition from the programme.
When asked about the impact of the
scale-up of their work, the staff, both
male and female, said the targets were
not realistic which was leading to in-
creased workload and hence the
burnout.
I dont think the targets are the
problem but it is mostly the repetitive
nature of the job which can become
monotonous, says Dr Githuka.
Most studies on male circumci-
sion, including the Kenya Aids Indica-
tor Survey 2013 (KAIS), have so far
concentrated on the quantity of pro-
cedures but none has shown it is
achieving its primary objective of re-
ducing HIV infections.
Started almost seven years ago, on
the promise that it could reduce the
risk of infection by 60 per cent, the
KAIS report showed a spike in preva-
lence in places like Nyanza where the
circumcision programme is most in-
tense.
Circumcision status, condom use,
and sexual behaviour were measured
through participants self-report, and
therefore, responses may have been
biased toward socially desirable an-
swers, says the KAIS report, which
was commissioned by the Ministry of
Health.
But if Kenya is to meet her ambi-
tious targets, the authors say it will
need to retain experienced workers
who are willing to complete large
numbers of procedures in high vol-
ume settings.
The country may have to consid-
er how best to continue to motivate
these workers to maintain job-fulll-
ment, reduce burnout, prevent attri-
tion and maximise performance.

I
do welcome all to this occasion when we mark
the Second International Day to End Obstetric
Fistula in our Health Calendar; and also thank
the Government of Machakos County to accept
to host the National event.
It is a critical moment when we mark by raising
awareness in the country about these dreadful
condition girls and women are suffering due child birth
injuries that are preventable. Obstetric stula results
from poor access to emergency obstetric care.
Obstetric stula remains a great challenge in Kenya,
like in many developing countries. Exact incidence is
unknown, but it is estimated that there are between
1000 to 3000 new cases every year. This is based on a
Needs assessment on Obstetric Fistula done in 2004
supported by UNFPA. I am aware of the on-going
assessment which will give us new estimates.
Currently only 44% of women receive skilled delivery
with most of the remaining giving birth at home. Most
of the women who deliver under unskilled care are
young, uneducated and living in poverty. Therefore,
these women are at risk of birth complications such
as obstructed labour which leads to obstetric stula
mainly Vesico-vaginal stula (VVF) and or Recto-
vaginal stula (RVF). This condition harms women
physically, socially and economically. Its persistence
is a reection of continued gender inequality, poverty
and poor access to reproductive health services.
To end stula, universal access to reproductive
health services, including maternal health care and
stula treatment must be made available to every
girl or woman. There must be means to track and
follow-up with every woman or girl who has had
an obstetric stula. And importantly there must be
elimination of gender-based social and economic
inequities, discourage early childbearing, promote
education and human rights, and foster community
participation including the active involvement of
men in nding solutions.
Due to the stigma associated with this condition
these women will suffer the indignity of living her life
with an obstetric stula. Now is the time to end this
severely neglected health and human rights tragedy.
We urge the Civil Society and other organizations
to prioritize advocacy for maternal and newborn
health.
Signicant strides have been made in eliminating
stula globally and more so in Kenya. The Government
of Kenya has put efforts to accelerate the availability
and use of universally accessible quality health services
especially maternal health services which are critical
for reducing birth complications. By recognizing
maternal mortality as a key indicator of health system
effectiveness, the Ministry of Health supports The First
Ladys Beyond Zero initiative which aims to mobilize
resources and rally political leadership for improved
quality of care for mothers and children.
Many of our would-be mothers cannot access
maternal health services due to nancial constraints.
I am happy with the His Excellency The Presidents
directive of having free maternal health services in
all public health facilities. The improved access to
skilled delivery will serve to prevent the occurrence
of the obstructed labour that commonly leads to
development of stula.
We therefore do call upon partners, health care
workers of all cadres in both the public and private
sectors and communities, must work together to ensure
universal access to reproductive health services. We
are privileged to have partners like UNFPA, AMREF,
FREEDOM FROM FISTULA FOUNDATION and
FLYING DOCTORS SOCIETY AFRICA among others,
which have supported the national program including
Teaching and Referral hospitals in the areas of capacity
building of health workers, community mobilization,
provision of hospital equipment, funding stula repair
and rehabilitation of the stula survivors.
At this juncture I would also like to specially
acknowledge Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi
Teaching and Referral hospital for their commitment
to assist these poor women.
May I also state that management of obstetric
stula has been largely supported by partners because
our clients are too poor to afford. This comprehensive
support ranges from transport to access repair
services, hospital fees, capacity building, and social
rehabilitation of the survivors and initiation of income
generating activities. Fistula camps have been largely
expensive exercise that may not be sustainable and
cost effective in the long run. And because of this,
the Ministry of Health through the Reproductive and
Maternal Health Services Unit is working with many
partners on modalities of integrating stula repair
within the routine hospital operations.
The solution is clear, improving access to
reproductive health services is critical. Although the
Campaign to End Fistula has enhanced the visibility
and knowledge of obstetric stula worldwide, it is still
critically under-resourced and it requires far more
nancial and human resources to achieve its goal of
eliminating stula. The Ministry of Health will continue
providing policies, guidelines and training curriculum
to strengthen local capacity in our health facilities.
My fellow citizens, the power to eliminate obstetric
stula is in our hands, we must continue to build
partnerships and mobilize our health system and
communities to garner the resources and support
required Tracking Fistula and Transforming lives of
these women.
O
n behalf of United Nations Population Fund
(UNFPA) Kenya Country Office, I would
like to thank the Government of Machakos
County for hosting the International Day to
End Obstetric Fistula today. This years theme is Tracking
Fistula, Transforming Lives, which reects an important
step in eradicating this preventable condition.
Obstetric Fistula, which is a hole in the birth canal
usually caused by prolonged, obstructed labour, affects
an estimated 1,000 to 3,000 women and girls in Kenya
every year.
The occurrence of obstetric stula in our women and
girls continues to highlight persistent global and national
inequalities in access to healthcare and basic human
rights. Majority of the women and young girls who suffer
from this devastating condition are very poor, vulnerable
and less educated. Most of these women remain untreated
their entire lives. Sadly, the condition can also easily recur
in women and girls who have been surgically treated but
who receive little or no medical follow-up and then become
pregnant again. Many of these women are stigmatized,
divorced and ostracized by their families and communities
and hence live in isolation and are lonely. Many are not
aware that surgical repair can immensely transform their
lives, and for those who know, the cost of the surgery is
too prohibitive.
The Ministry of Health through its health information
system has the capacity to capture data on the extent of
obstetric stula occurrences among Kenyas women and
girls. Presently, this data is at facility level and it is, therefore,
imperative that we conduct a nationwide mapping in
order to provide better medical services. By systematically
registering and tracking each woman and girl who has or
had an obstetric stula, we can make enormous strides in
improving their well-being and increasing the chances of
their babies survival in subsequent pregnancies.
Addressing the inequalities in access to healthcare and
improving the capacity of our health facilities to provide
basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care can
substantially reduce the incidences of obstetric stula. I
congratulate the Ministry of Health and the Government
of Kenya for implementing various initiatives to increase
access to quality maternal health services, including
prioritizing reproductive health in the Constitution;
promoting free maternal healthcare in all public health
facilities; building the capacity of health facilities to provide
emergency obstetric and newborn care; and addressing
the human resource for heath challenges, among many
other initiatives. It is our responsibility as UNFPA and other
development partners to support the Ministry of Health to
make more positive strides towards the achievement of its
development goals and of the Kenya Vision 2030.
By placing the adolescent girl at the centre of health
initiatives, we will be able to reduce incidences of obstetric
stula by eliminating gender-based social and economic
inequities, preventing child marriage and early childbearing
and promoting education.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), together
with partners around the world, launched the global
Campaign to End Fistula a decade ago. Much progress has
been made. With support from UNFPA, 47,000 women and
girls have undergone stula repair surgery. In Kenya, over
2,000 women and girls have benetted from this support.
UNFPA Kenya has built the capacity of six (6) regional
hospitals to conduct stula repair including expansion of
infrastructure and provision of equipment, the training of
two (2) stula surgeons in Ethiopia, and the procurement of
500 stula repair kits that were distributed by the Ministry
of Health to various health facilities around the country.
UNFPA is willing to support the Ministry of Health integrate
stula operations in normal surgical procedures as this will,
ultimately, be more cost effective.

Message from the Representative, UNFPA Kenya Country Ofce
Message from the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Health
Message from the Governor, Machakos County
I
take this opportunity, on behalf of the
people of Machakos County, to welcome
everyone to the County as we mark this
important day in the International Health
Calendar. We do recognize that many mothers
face many challenges during time to give birth.
As some may succumb to complications during
delivery, many are left with devastating morbidities
one of which is Obstetric Fistula. This condition
is attributed to neglected obstructed labour; and
many of these women deliver at home without
skilled attendance. Evidence has shown that
most of those who suffer from this condition are
young vulnerable and poor, with low education
and in the low resource setting. It is because of
these reasons that my Government has initiated
programmes and other interventions that focus on
increasing access to quality health care especially
the maternal health.
While literature indicates that the global
burden of stula is over 2million in the developing
countries; and between 1000 and 3000 occur in
Kenya annually. Due to the nature of this condition,
the local incidence in Machakos County is
unknown, as it is in other regions within the country.
This makes me delighted to applaud this years
theme: TRACKING FISTULA, TRANSFORMING
LIVES. Our focus in the County Health sector
includes improving health informatics and making
data facilitate decision making. It is from such
programme, that we will be able to keep data
about women who suffer stula, even if they are
in the community. I do urge them to come out and
seek treatment that is now available within our
county. My Government through the Ministry of
Health and Emergency Services has also rolled out
a comprehensive healthcare delivery programme
in the county, for example, a community hospital
in every ward, an ambulance in each location,
and a strengthened community strategy with
an elaborate referral system which is very key in
achieving our goal. There is a lot of infrastructure
development on-going and planned to upgrade our
health facilities to provide basic and comprehensive
emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC).
It is this access to EmoNC that will prevent the
occurrence of these complications.
The key to preventing stula is education-
educating women about the necessity of prenatal
care, educating our communities about the need
for skilled birth attendants, educating midwives
about the warning signs of obstructed labor, and
educating doctors about what to do when birth
complications arise. Fistula repair is not a simple
operation; it is a delicate procedure that requires
a qualied surgeon, a trained support staff and
proper facilities.
Unless we act together, there will be more
cases. There is a an urgent need to encourage
and support more effective programs including
better reproductive health services, universal and
equitable access to these services, and improved
information to reduce the number of Fistula
cases.
The government of Machakos County is glad to
be part of the global campaign to end stula and
today we are here to show support to accelerate
that campaign. Welcome to Machakos, the place
to be.

Because Everyone Counts
International Day to End Obstetric Fistula
23rd May, 2014
ADVERTISERS ANNOUNCEMENT / Page 21
A
mref Health Africa in Kenya Outreach
Programme provides reconstructive
surgery
Obstetric Fistula is a devastating
condition affecting women and girls in rural African
communities. Fistula occurs as a complication of
obstructed labour, whereby a hole (stula) develops
between either the rectum and the vagina, or the
bladder and the vagina. In most cases, the baby is
stillborn, and the woman faces disorders including
chronic incontinence, severe infections, and nerve
damage in the legs. Sufferers are also subject to
severe social stigma due to odours and perceptions
of uncleanliness.
Reconstructive surgery can mend stula with
a 90% success rate for uncomplicated cases and
60% success rate for more complicated cases. The
cost of vesico-vaginal stula surgery for a single
woman is on average USD$400 {Kshs. 34,000 only).
In East Africa, about 1,600 operations are performed
annually mainly due to limited surgical services.
It is estimated that there are between 1-2 million
women in need of stula surgery worldwide. In
sub-sahara Africa, it is estimated that 1-2 obstetric
stulas occur per 1000 deliveries and about 4500
- 5500 new obstetric stulae occur in East Africa
annually. The estimate for Kenya is 2,000 new
cases every year.
With these statistics, its clear why Amref Health
Africa in Kenya through the Outreach Programme
launched the Staying Alive! Restore Womens Dignity
project especially for women living in hard to reach
areas. The three-year regional project is funded by
the Dutch Government and aims to reach 113,000
women of reproductive age. A team of surgeons and
behaviour change communication specialists seek
to identify women with stulas and to have as many
of them as possible surgically repaired.
Working with the Health Management Teams
in the county, Amref Health Africa in Kenya will
also institute measures to prevent the occurrence
of stulas, including creating demand for early
antenatal care and skilled attendance at birth,
encouraging healthy timing and spacing of
pregnancies, and discouraging early marriage and
female genital mutilation.
The immediate underlying cause of stula
is the absence of relief of obstructed labour that
occurs in places where skilled care is not available.
Currently, skilled care is available in most parts
of Kenya; however, mothers and caretakers may
be subject to three kinds of delays. The rst is the
delay in making the decision to seek skilled care
during labour which often is inuenced by lack
of knowledge of potential complications by the
mother, caretakers and the community; deeply
rooted cultural and tradition beliefs on the benets
of delivering without skilled care; and dependence
on a signicant other such as the spouse or relative.
The second delay is the delay to transfer the mother
to care even when the decision is made. This delay
arises from poverty and physical barriers such as
long distances and lack of means of transport. The
third delay is the delay to receive essential care even
when the mother arrives at a health facility. This
delay is also multi-factorial and occurs when the
care facility is lacking in essential obstetric supplies,
skilled care givers and infrastructure.
In rare cases stulae may also occur following
injuries that arise from rape, female genital
mutilation, violence or unskilled performance of
abortions which involves introduction of objects
in the vagina and uterus.
In 2012, Amref Health Africa in Kenya funded
free reconstructive surgery for women with vesico-
vaginal stula at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
The free clinic received more than 1,000 patients
indicating that there is still a need for access to
treatment for many women.
The truth stula is treatable and preventable
and there is hope for all.

t is an appalling fact that in our world of
modern medical advances, nearly 800
women still die from pregnancy-related
complications each day, and for every
woman who dies, almost 20 more are injured
or disabled with severe or life-shattering, long-
term conditions such as obstetric stula.
This International Day to End Obstetric
Fistula is an opportunity to sound the alarm
on this tragedy so that we may galvanize action
to end it. Progress is possible. Over the past
dozen years, some 47,000 women and girls have
received surgical treatment supported by the
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
Registering and tracking each woman and
girl with stula can help ensure that more
individuals receive treatment, survivors stay
healthy and their future babies thrive. The Every
Woman Every Child initiative can help advance
progress by mobilizing partners to support all
those who need help.
Addressing obstetric stula is more than a
matter of health; it is a human rights imperative.
This condition is one of the most devastating
consequences of neglected childbirth and
a stark reection of inequality at its worst.
Although stula is now virtually unheard of in
industrialized countries, it continues to afict
the most impoverished women and adolescent
girls in many developing countries. If left
untreated, it can contribute to social isolation
and depression and lead to chronic medical
problems, even the loss of the child.
Fistula is fully preventable when all
women and girls have access to high-quality,
comprehensive sexual and reproductive health
services, especially family planning, maternal
health care and emergency obstetric care.
On this International Day, I call on partners
to support the UNFPA-led global Campaign to
End Fistula. Let us join forces to eliminate this
global social injustice.

T
he theme of this years
International Day to End
Obstetric Fistula, Tracking
Fistula Transforming Lives,
reects an important step forward in
eradicating this preventable condition,
whi ch affects an esti mated two
million women and girls in developing
countries.
Obstetric stula highlights persistent
global inequalities in access to health care
and basic human rights. Most women who
develop stula, a hole in the birth canal
usually caused by prolonged, obstructed
labour, remain untreated for their entire
lives, and the condition can easily recur in
women and girls whose stula has been
surgically treated but who receive little or
no medical follow-up and then become
pregnant again.
To treat stula and provide women
with follow-up medical care, we need
to know more about how many women
and girls are in need of services and
also where they live. In most instances,
stigma forces women living with the
condition to remain hidden and isolates
them from families and communities. By
systematically registering and tracking
each woman and girl who has or had an
obstetric stula, we can make enormous
strides in improving their well-being and
increasing the chances of their babies
survival in subsequent pregnancies.
Eliminating the health crisis of
obstetric fistula requires scaling up
countries capacities to provide access
to equitable, high-quality sexual and
reproductive health services, including
family planning and maternity care,
especially comprehensive emergency
obstetric care. Tracking and treating
all stula cases is crucial, but it is also
necessary for countries to take steps to
prevent stulas by addressing underlying
medical and socio-economic causes,
eliminating gender-based social and
economic inequities, preventing child
marriage and early childbearing and
promoting education, especially for
girls.
To address the neglected health and
human rights violation of obstetric stula,
UNFPA, the United Nations Population
Fund, together with partners around the
world, launched the global Campaign
to End Fistula a decade ago. Much
progress has been made. With support
from UNFPA, 47,000 women and girls
have undergone stula repair surgery.
Partner organizations have provided
treatment to many more women and
girls living with stula. However, much
remains to be done, and far more support
and momentum are needed to enable
the Campaign to expand its reach to
all corners of the world where women
suffering from stula remain isolated and
often unaware that treatment is available
or even possible.
The time has come to put an end
to obstetric fistula and address the
circumstances that perpetuate it,
including poverty, lack of access to
health care, child marriage and early
childbearing. We have the resources and
know-how. What we need now is the
political will to elevate the status of women
and girls, rectify inequalities and protect
the human rights of every woman and girl,
so that stula may never again undermine
a persons health, well-being, dignity and
ability to participate in and contribute to
their communities.

of Africa set up in 1971,to
positively impact communities
by spreading medical outreach
across East Africa. This is done through
facilitating specialized Surgical Services
to far ung areas through an outreach
programme.
Obstetric fistula is a devastating
condition that affects poor, rural women
and girls across the continent. It manifests
itself as an abnormal communication
between the urinary bladder and vagina,
leading to uncontrolled, continuous
leakage of urine and/or fecal matter. This
condition mainly occurs as a complication
of obstructed labor. This condition is largely
preventable and treatable. However, lack of
access to medical facilities with the capacity
to handle the condition hampers efforts to
deal with the problem.
FDSA has been raising funds and
creating awareness on Vesico-Vaginal
Fistula since 2006. Since then, it has
nanced treatment for over 1,000 women
at a cost of over Kshs. 30m. FDSA recognizes
that to end this problem, it cannot work
alone and works with key implementing
partners to reach out to this underprivileged
women who would otherwise continue to
hide in shame, as most are not aware they
can even be treated.
This year, the Society also hopes to reach
at least 200 women across the country.
FDSA has partnered with the Rotary Club
of Essendon Australia, Lohana Ladies Circle,
East Africa Womens League-Lavington
chapter and Guru Nanak Ramgharia Sikh
Hospital, where free VVF surgeries will be
done throughout the year. The Society has
also joined forces with UNFPA and other
stula stakeholders to mark the 2014 World
Fistula Day by contributing towards the
Machakos VVF camp.
Partners and donors both corporate and
individual can get involved in this process,
participate in this process and initiative by

Civil society organisations
have strongly criticised the Ju-
bilee administration for failing
to implement the Truth, Justice
and Reconciliation Commis-
sion (TJRC) report, one year af-
ter its submission.
The organisations faulted
the Government for outing the
TJRC Act and said there is lack
of political will to implement
the report that indicted power-
ful gures in both the current
and former regimes.
The TJRC Act had clear and
tight timelines, noted Pro-
gramme Advisor for Kenyans
for Peace with Truth and Justice
Njonjo Mue.
Its exactly one year since
the report was handed over to
President Uhuru Kenyatta but
nothing seems to be happen-
ing, Mr Mue said.
Under the TJRC Act, the im-
plementation of the report
should have begun within six
months after the publication of
the nal report. The six months
lapsed in November last year.
Civil society faults
State over TJRC report
They are worried
that there is lack
of political will
to implement the
explosive report
According to the Act, the
Government should by now
have set up an implementa-
tion mechanism with a com-
mittee to monitor the process
and report to Parliament on
quarterly basis.
However, instead of spear-
heading the implementation,
the National Assembly amend-
ed the Act, placing the explo-
sive report at the mercy of law-
makers.
But speaking yesterday in
Nairobi, the civil society or-
ganisations led by the Interna-
tional Centre for Transitional
Justice (ICTJ) cautioned Parlia-
ment against interfering with
the content of the report.
It would be hugely regret-
table if the National Assembly
were to alter the report in any
way, cautioned ICTJ Kenya
head Christopher Gitari.
He added: ...given the po-
tentially incriminatory infor-
mation contained in the re-
port, it is not surprising that
some powerful actors would
want to tamper with the report
or have it rejected entirely.
They maintained that Par-
liament has no authority to
amend a report of an indepen-
dent commission.
MATTERS
pointing out that with such
a provision, MPs could have
amended even the Waki Com-
mission report.
The TJRC report recom-
mends among others that
President Kenyatta offers a
public apology to all victims of
torture and unlawful deten-
tion and acknowledge the role
of the State.
This has not been done to
date and lobby groups are now
questioning why Uhuru apolo-
gised to victims of the horren-
dous 1994 Rwandan genocide
and has failed to do so for post-
election violence victims.

Parliamentary Committee
on Environment chairperson
Amina Abdalla said new draft
regulations on e-waste by the
National Environment Man-
agement Authority are about
to be gazetted and will help in
reducing the negative impacts
of e-waste and enhance recy-
cling.

obsolete electronic and elec-
trical equipment that has
come to the end of life or dis-
carded equipment powered by
an electric current.
These include computers
(CPU, mouse, screen and key-
board), printers, ofce and
medical scanners, phones,
CD/DVDs/oppy disks, UPSs,
radio sets, TVs, cameras, video
recorders, Hi- recorders, pho-
tocopier, typewriters, cookers,
desk calculators, facsimile,
fridges, toasters and toys,
among others.
Meeting to explore ways of
tackling e-waste menace
By ALLY JAMAH
A major conference will take
place in Nairobi next week to
seek ways of addressing the ris-
ing threat of electronic waste in
the country.
The conference comes as
mounting research evidence
shows that waste from disused
electronic equipment like mo-
bile phones and TVs is becom-
ing a major threat to human
health.
The meeting, which will
take place at the Kenyatta In-
ternational Conference Centre,
will bring together stakehold-
ers in the sector including reg-
ulators, policy makers, service
providers, distributors, manu-
facturers, collectors, disman-
tlers, recyclers, consumers, re-
searchers, trainers, public
health and environmental ad-
vocates.
It is organised by the Kenya
Industrial Research and Devel-
opment Institute (KIRDI) and
mobile operator Safaricom,
among others. KIRDI is a re-
search institution under the In-
dustrialisation ministry.
We are condent that this
conference will not only play its
Uhuru nods new child welfare body
By PSCU
President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday signed
a new legal notice establishing the Child Welfare
Society of Kenya as a Government agency.
The society has a statutory responsibility to
provide services to all young persons across all
sectors especially marginalised and vulnerable
children including orphans, young women and
separated minors.
President Kenyatta signed the legal notice at
his Harambee House ofce where he met with
the Cabinet Secretary for Labour Kazungu Kam-
bi and ofcials of the society.
The purpose of the new law is to provide a
legal framework within which the society will
operate.
The state agency will deal with concerns
such as child trafcking, adoption matters in-
cluding those sought by foreigners.
The society will also provide rescue centres
and foster care for separated and street children
and address such other children rights issues as
child labour.
The society will also undertake advocacy is-
sues on matters concerning young persons and
children including on HIV and Aids.

Gicharu promises 24hr services at REA
By JAMES MBAKA
and MARGARET KANINI
The Rural Electrication
Authority (REA) plans to con-
nect some 11,000 public pri-
mary schools with electricity
by mid next year at a cost of
Sh12 billion.
Overall, the country has
21,222 primary schools out of
which 10,157 have electricity.
But REA intends to complete
electrication of the remain-
ing 11,062 by the end of the
next nancial year.
Work is ongoing to connect
power to some 5,000 primary
schools in the current scal
year while the next phase to
connect the remaining 6,065
will be nalised in the
2014/2015 nancial year.
New REA chairman Simon
Gicharu said the completion
of the connection would facil-
itate the rolling out of the lap-
top project.
CREATE EMPLOYMENT
Speaking when he took
over his REA ofce at the Chan-
cery Building, Gicharu chal-
lenged the authority to pro-
vide 24-hour services. He said
this was necessary to realise
the dream of delivering elec-
tricity to the rural population,
create employment and re-
duce rural-urban migration.
I want to ensure that we
operate maximally and ensure
that we open the rural areas,
light villages and schools in
line with Vision 2030, said
Police strategic
plan brings to fore
myriad challenges
By CYRUS OMBATI
Corruption, lack of scheme of ser-
vice, slow adoption of ICT and poor
record of internal accountability are
among the challenges that police
face, the 2013-2017 National Police
Service Strategic Plan launched by In-
spector General of Police David Ki-
maiyo yesterday has revealed.
The plan also shows that inade-
quate human resource capacity, lim-
ited logistical capacity and seeming
conict between regular police and
their Administration Police counter-
parts are some of the biggest weak-
nesses the service has.
It also brings to the fore a number
of issues that it said are affecting ser-
vice delivery. However, the plan fails
to mention the cost of implementa-
tion, as should be the case.
The booklet cites stagnation in
one rank, lack of clarity between the
National Police Service and National
Police Service Commission functions,
inadequate budgetary allocation and
inadequate infrastructure as some of
the issues affecting service delivery.
The police have often been ac-
cused of not doing enough to combat
crime and terrorism but the plan ex-
plains why. With weak performance
management systems, poor relations
with institutions of higher learning,
bureaucracy in procurement, poor
terms and conditions of service and
inadequate and obsolete equipment,
ofcers have little or no morale.
Kimaiyo said they are aware of the
problems and pledged to lead the ser-
vice in ensuring they are addressed
within ve years.
It will entail renewed focus on in-
telligence-led policing, enhancing
surveillance by incorporating CCTV
cameras and integrating vital data
needed for effective management.
The camera will be linked to a re-

service will launch a
new motto: Service
with dignity
vamped National Crime Command
Centre, said Kimaiyo.
He said they plan to form a re-
forms directorate to oversee the strat-
egy implementation process and
identify reform champions in the ser-
vice. The police boss said they intend
to launch a new motto for the service
dubbed Service with dignity (Hudu-
ma yenye heshima).
The plan calls for harmonisation
of terms and conditions of service and
proper handling of the vetting process
and continuous recruitment.
By CYRUS OMBATI
Interior Cabinet Secretary Jo-
seph ole Lenku wants operations
of airwings of the Kenya Police and
Administration Police integrated.
Lenku said the Government is re-
vamping the police airwing to en-
able it to respond to various emer-
gencies effectively.
The integrated airwing will
have an approved maintenance
section to enable ofcers to re-
spond to search and rescue mis-
sions, casualty evacuation, air pa-
trols and aerial reconnaissance,
said Lenku.
He said the current scenario
where Administration Police and
their regular police counterparts
run independent airwings is cost-
ly.
The minister spoke during a
workshop convened for stakehold-
ers to deliberate on reforming the
national police airwing.
Some Sh6.7 billion will be used
for leasing and nancing of police
motor vehicles and aircraft in the
next nancial year. The police air-
wing is almost grounded as it now
has only one operating chopper.
We recognise the important
role played by the unit especially
in aerial patrols, he said.

to harmonise

Gicharu. He said he would en-
sure the rural population ac-
cess electricity to start income
generating projects to improve
their standard of living.
The Jubilee Government
will make sure that every vil-
lage is lit to cut down on crime
rate and ensure an enabling
environment for Kenyans to
eke a living without necessar-
ily having to migrate to Nairobi
to seek to jobs, he said.
Gicharu swapped roles with
Faisal Abbas who has been
chairman REA and who will
now chair the Geothermal De-
velopment Company (GDC).
Gicharu said his appointment
to chair REA was more rele-
vant.
I am an accomplished ed-
ucationist and the new oppor-
tunity enables me to take a
leading role in provision of in-
frastructural support in readi-
ness for the rollout of the lap-
top project that is a key agship
project of the Jubilee Govern-
ment, he said.
CHALLENGING ASSIGNMENT
Mr Abbas said he would
take the new challenging as-
signment at the GDC, but
maintained he would deliver
on his mandate.
The President had reasons
for swapping us. Ours now is to
work to move the country for-
ward, he said.
REA is implementing the
electrication of the primary
schools through grid extension
in areas that are near the exist-
ing grid and also through pro-
vision of solar PVs in areas that
are far away from the grid net-
work.
The agency has extended
electricity supply to 4,400 pri-
mary schools through grid ex-
tension and to 600 schools in
the off grid areas through pro-
vision of solar PVs. The provi-
sion of electricity supply in-
clude connection and wiring of
at least one classroom
The Mount Kenya universi-
ty founder said the agency will
jump start rural entrepreneur-
ship by connecting power to
customers in the vicinity of
primary schools such as
homes, businesses and other
public facilities.

The Government has announced that all
counties will be connected to the bre optic
network by the end of next year.
Already, 29 counties are connected to the
network as part of the Government plan to
digitise its operations.
According to the Information, Communi-
cations and Technology Cabinet Secretary
Fred Matiangi, the World Bank would fund
the next phase of the project.
He said the second phase would also see
the rehabilitation of the bre optic cable in
Mandera County after it failed to perform.
The CS added that 10,000 primary schools
across the country would be connected to
internet in two years as part of e-learning.
He said that the Government was com-
mitted to increasing internet penetration so
as to make information access easier.
HEADTEACHERS AGM
Dr Matiangi was addressing the Press at
Club Heritage in Naivasha during the Nyami-
ra County headteachers association annual
general meeting.
He challenged the 200 headteachers to
migrate to digital platform in delivering edu-
cation to leaners.
Some of the schools have the e-learning
strategic plans, computer labs and we are
encouraging them to have a framework for
e-libraries, he said.
The association chairman Andrew Gesore
said that the one-week workshop was geared
towards improving education and infrastruc-
ture levels in the county.
Mr Gesore said that the county was com-
mitted to e-learning adding that they were
encouraging schools to be ICT-compliant.
Of the 200 schools represented here, 24
are already on the e-learning platform and
we hope the gure will be over 50 per cent by
end of this year, he said.
All counties set for fast internet

The Government says the programme to
add 5,000 megawatts to the national power
grid is on course.
Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary
Davis Chirchir said last September, the Gov-
ernment commenced an ambitious 40-month
power generation expansion programme
aimed at bringing down the cost of energy by
40 per cent.
Speaking during the launch of one mega-
watt solar generation project at George Wil-
liamson Tea Estate in Konoin constituency
within Bomet County, Mr Chirchir said the
national programme involves several projects
in geothermal, liqueed natural gas, coal,
wind, hydro and solar.
He added that programme also involves
putting in place associated transmission fa-
cilities to address the distribution of the gener-
ated power.
Chirchir said the private sector was ex-
pected to play a key role in the programme.
The Cabinet Secretary said in an effort to
encourage accelerated investment in renew-
able energy development, his ministry formu-
lated the feed-in-tariffs policy on wind, solar,
geothermal, biomass, and small hydro-power
systems.
Under this policy, Kenya Power is supposed
to sign power purchase agreements with inves-
tors.
The policy aims to attract private sector
investments in electricity generation from re-
newable energy sources, said Chirchir.
He said solar energy was abundant in the
county and his ministry had been leading in
the deployment of the same by installing solar
photolvoltaic systems in buildings that are
remote from national grid.
Speaking during the same function, Bomet
Governor Isaac Ruto said the county had po-
tential in green power that needs to be ex-
ploited.

MCAs unhappy with
budgetary allocations
The ward reps had
asked for Sh10 million
each to repair roads in
their areas but they will
only get Sh3.5million
By JOSEPH MASHA
Kili County MCAs now want the
county government to disburse Sh10
million to enable them maintain
roads in their wards in the 2014-2015
nancial year.
This would amount to Sh350
million for the 35 wards, yet just
Sh330 million has been given to the
roads sector in the countys pro-
posed budget.
According to estimates now
under scrutiny, each ward or MCA
will be allocated Sh3.5 million to
maintain roads and the MCAs, who
already control Sh10 million each in
ward development money, are not
happy about this.
They complained that they had
been promised Sh10 million for
roads per ward in the next budget.
NOT HONOURED
The MCAs expressed their
displeasure at a stakeholders
scrutiny of the 2014-2015 estimates
held at the Sun n Sand Beach Resort
in Kili County on Wednesday.
They said County Executive Com-
mittee Member for Public Works,
Edmund Saburi, had not honoured
their earlier proposal of Sh10 million
per ward.
Led by Ruruma Ward MCA,
Naftaly Kombo, the MCAs demanded
to know why Mr Saburi was giving
them only Sh3.5 million for each
ward, alleging that the money would
not meet the countys needs.
In our proposals, we recom-
mended that the county government
should allocate Sh10 million to each
of the 35 elective wards to help us x
our rural roads and it is shocking to
learn that only Sh3.5 million has
been set aside for us, Mr Kombo
said
Responding to the queries, Saburi
said the reduction was occasioned
by the amount allocated to the
Roads department, which is Sh330
million for the 2014-2015 nancial
year.
Saburi said he would need to use
Sh60 million of this amount to build
a re station and some money would
be spent on street lighting in
selected towns.
MADE DEMANDS
It is true the MCAs had proposed
an allocation of Sh10 million for the
35 elective wards to address issues of
roads in their respective wards but
due to the meagre funds allocated to
my docket, the gure had to be
reduced after consultations with
different stakeholders, Saburi said.
The MCAs were, however, not
convinced and Kombo said Sh60
million was too much for a re
station. He demanded a reduction so
as to release money for roads, saying
MCAs were under intense pressure
from voters to improve roads.
RESOURCES DISTRIBUTION
The MCAs also want the county
government to ensure equity and
equality in disbursing resources and
development money across
constituencies.
Speaking at the same event,
Gideon Mungaro of Kili North,
Mustaffa Idd of Kili South, Gunga
Mwinga of Kaloleni and Harrison
Kombe of Magarini constituencies
said all wards must benet from the
county governments resources and
planning.
Governor Amason Kingi, who
opened the conference on Tuesday,
said his administration was commit-
ted to equal and equitable develop-
ment of all regions of the county.
However, Mungaro claimed the
Sh374 million allocated to the lands
docket was too little to address the
regions immense challenges,
including settlement of squatters.
People living as squatters is the
biggest challenge in Kili county and
we want to see our county govern-
ment taking the issue seriously by
allocating enough money to address
the problem, he said.
Rabai MP William Kamoti
claimed his constituency had been
discriminated against in terms of
allocation of development projects.
According to the proposed
budget allocations, Rabai constitu-
ency has not beneted much and I
want the governor to look into that,
he said.
Kombe said many roads in
Magarini, where the governor comes
from, were in a deplorable state and
needed rehabilitation.
Roads in my constituency are in
a sorry state and get really bad
during the rainy season, like now.
The county government must do
something to change this because it
is the only way the impact of
devolution will be felt by all, he
said.
Kombe said residents needed to
feel that the county government was
looking out for them and the only
way to do so was by ensuring there
was equal distribution of develop-
ment funds to all corners of the
region.

PROJECT: Sh135m to boost
county water distribution
The Garissa government has
commissioned development projects
worth over Sh800 million aimed
at changing the lifestyle of urban
dwellers.
These include a one-megawatt
power generator project and laying
of a 10-kilometre water pipeline,
at a cost of Sh135 million, which
is expected to improve water
distribution in the rapidly expanding
town where residents have long
complained of water shortages.
We have now put in place long
term solutions to overcome the
perennial water problems in this
county, Governor Nathif Jama said
as he supervised the setting up of the
Genset power generator.
Jama said the town has outgrown
its current infrastructure hence the
need for a new generator to help
pump water and serve the more than
400,000 water clients.
Jama said his administration will
ensure all residents have access to
clean water.

council says all is vell
By KEPHER OTIENO
The Municipal Council of Kisumu
in conjunction with the trafc police
department has successfully locked
public transport out of the towns
centre.
Thanks to the combined forces,
no 14-seater matatu and boda boda
operates in the central business
district now.
And residents have praised the
effort, arguing sanity has been
restored in the CBD and trafc ow
was now smooth.
No matatus or boda bodas are
allowed to pick or drop passengers
at the CBD. The ban also applies to
tricycles and it has been in effect for
the past one week, though amid
protests.
Distances shortened
The authorities have also blocked
Oginga Odinga Avenue up to
Standard Chartered Bank junction to
ease trafc ow.
Passengers are now being
dropped at Jomo Kenyatta Highway
and trek to town.
The move follows successful
negotiations between the authority
and matatu operators whose
distances have now been cut short.
We are happy because the plans
have reduced our distance by
one-and-a-half kilometres, said a
matatu operator George Onyango.
According to the town authorities
the plan aims to decongest the city
and will remain in force until 2013.
Thereafter the council will
develop fresh plans to accommodate
the increased number of private cars
in town, a source from the council
said.
Already, the number of private
cars streaming in the town has
peaked and the trafc department
anticipates the gure will rise.
The councils enforcement ofcer
in charge of the trafc order Adrian
Ouma said they would not back
down on the move.
WIN-win situation
Eng Ouma said matatu owners
appreciated the directive because
they still charge the same bus fare
despite the distance being short-
ened.
It is a win-win situation, the
matatu operators have all the
reasons to smile same as the
council, he said, as he asked them
to co-operate.
Kisumu Mayor Sam Okello
thanked the residents for allowing
them to bring sanity within the CBD.
There have been complaints of
matatu disorder within the CBD,
which have been disrupting smooth
operations of businesses.
With the new measures in force
people can now go about their
business easily without disruptions
by blaring sounds.
Nyanza PPO Njue Njagi promised
to support the council to restore
sanity and warned that those who
resist change would be arrested and
charged.

Rift Valley Railways (RVR) has
said it will inject an extra Sh12.6
billion in a bid to double its capacity
and reposition itself in light of
planned construction of the
Standard Gauge Railway.
The rms Group Chief Executive
Ofcer, Darlan Fabio, said RVR has
already invested in excess of Sh10
billion and with the extra funding,
shareholders investment portfolio
will increase to over Sh20 billion.
Mr Fabio said the investment
would facilitate purchase of 20
general electric locomotives from
the US. This would in turn double
cargo rail trafc from Mombasa to
Nairobi from the current 1.7 million
tonnes to 3.6 million tonnes in the
next eight months.
The CEO said cargo transit time
from Mombasa to Nairobi has also
come down to six hours after 73km
of worn out tracks between the two
cities were upgraded.
INTENDED CAPACITY
Fabio said they have also rebuilt
nine failing culverts between Jinja
and Busembatia on the Ugandan
section, but revealed that the rm
had no immediate plans to revive
the dilapidated Voi-Taita Taveta link,
which connects the Port of Mom-
basa to Northern Tanzania.
We began the investment
programme to turn the company
RVR injects funds to boost functions
around in January 2012 and since
then we have invested more than
Sh10 billion to improve the railway
networks operations. This is more
than the combined amount invested
in the railway by both countries over
the past 26 years, Fabio said.
He said the railway system along
the Northern corridor has for years
performed below its intended
capacity, adding that this state of
affairs cannot be allowed to go on.
The move by RVR comes at a time
when the Government is pushing to
establish the new Standard Gauge
Railway line. Just this month, the
Government signed a deal with
China that will see Beijing nance
the construction.
NOT SCARED
However, Fabio said RVR was not
investing due to anticipated
competition but rather to help the
rm position itself given increasing
cargo trafc into the region.
We are not afraid of competition
from the Standard Gauge Railway
line or long-distance trucks. There
has been a marked increase of cargo
at the port, which means there will
be business for all players, he said.
Fabio was speaking at the APM
logistics freight station in Mombasa
after he unveiled a new innovative
technology that the rm will use to
transport heavy steel from Mombasa
to Kampala.
The rms new wagon saddle
innovation is expected to move
heavy steel equivalent to 400
truckloads per month.
The CEO witnessed the rst
batch of 50 coils of steel, each weigh-
ing 20 tonnes, was loaded onto the
train in line with RVRs contract with
Ugandas Roongs Rolling Mills.
The pact will see all heavy steel
imported by the Ugandan rm

Livestock in Garissa County have
to contend with persistent drought
that results in lack of pasture and
this is now exposing the animals to a
new threat.
It is not uncommon to nd
livestock eating plastic items strewn
all over the town, and experts are
now warning that this is going to
result in an increased death rate
among the animals.
Isse Maalim, a vet in the Garissa
County government, said because
plastic is not degradable, it gets
entangled in the animals stomachs
and forms a ball that gets stuck in
the stomach.
GREAT CONCERN
Mr Maalim said this has now
become a great concern because
many of the towns livestock are now
being found with plastic balls in the
stomach when slaughtered.
Plastic cannot be broken down
by the bacterial action in the
digestive tract so it ends up causing
obstruction, which is a sure death
sentence for the animals, he said.
Evans Wafula, a science teacher
in Garissa, said the plastic balls also
interfere with digestion as they block
new food from being digested and
hamper the chewing of cud.
Locals have therefore been urged
to take better care of the environ-
ment and avoid dumping plastics.
KPA launches system to enhance
performance of 5,000 staff
Vet: Plastic ingestion is killing livestock in Garissa town
1,000 tonnes of steel, an equivalent
of 50 truckloads. This means, based
on current volumes, that we will be
taking about 400 heavy lorries off the
roads each month, Fabio said.
He said the move would decon-
gest the Mombasa-Malaba road,
referred to as the Northern corridor,
reduce damage to roads and cut
transport costs from Mombasa to
Kampala by over 20 per cent.
INCREASED IMPORTS
Figures from the Kenya Ports
Authority (KPA) indicate that heavy
steel imports, coming through the
Port of Mombasa, are on the
increase due to the booming
construction industry across East
Africa.
It is estimated that Kenya imports
one million tonnes and Uganda
about 500,000 tonnes of heavy steel
annually.
Fabio said with the new technol-
ogy, RVR would be able to negotiate
and tie up contracts with importers
offering transport services at lower
rates compared to long-distance
trucks.

Sh10 billion and is set

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA)
yesterday launched its new
performance management system
and transformation framework with
a call to the over 5,000 staff
members to embrace progressive
change.
KPAs Chief Executive and
Managing Director, Gichiri Ndua,
said success at the authority would
depend on the calibre of its human
resource and their capacity to
adopt to new systems of operation.
Mr Ndua was speaking at KPA
headquarters in Mombasa while
launching the system. The event
was also attended by Dockworkers
Union Secretary General Simon
Sang and union chairman Jeffa Kiti.
The dock ofcials hailed KPA
management for fully embracing
change in line with plans to ensure
efciency becomes the hallmark of
port operations.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
President Uhuru Kenyatta has
challenged us at the port to ensure
that we maintain efciency at all
times to attract more business
through this facility. Dockers
support this very noble venture
and remain keen on performance
contracts that will offer better and
enhanced remuneration for staff,
Sang said.
Ndua said the new move was
intended to ensure that port
operations were in line with current
industry trends.
Things have changed and we
are today required to operate
commercially with focus on the
customer and set targets. It is
therefore inevitable that manage-
ment styles and staff attitudes must
change to embrace these new
requirements, he said.
KPA General Manager for
Human Resource and Administra-
tion, Salim Chingabwi, challenged
staff to redouble their efforts.
We continue to face stiff
competition from neighbouring
ports of Tanga, Dar es Salaam, Beira
in Mozambique and Durban in
South Africa. We have had aws in
previous systems and it is time to
change, he said.

By PAUL MUTUA
Kitui County government in
partnership with the Rural Electri-
cation Authority (REA) have
launched a multi-million shilling
electrication project.
Governor Julius Malombe and
REAs Chief Executive Ofcer
Nganga Munyu yesterday ex-
changed an agreement dubbed
Kitui County Accelerated Rural
Electrication Project at a cer-
emony held at Kituis Forestry
Research Institute.
Dr Malombe said his government
would spend Sh150 million to
connect power to rural areas. This is
expected to increase electricity
connections from 30 per cent to 90
per cent.
The governor said his govern-
ment has placed an additional Sh195
million in the 2014/2015 budgetary
allocations to ensure the project
reaches all corners of the vast
county.
This ambitious project involves
construction of 79 new power lines
that will extend electricity supply by
an extra 126km across the countys
40 wards, he said
PRIORITY AREAS
Malombe said priority will be
given to education and health
institutions, shopping centres and
remote areas with high populations.
In many of our countys rural
areas, homesteads, schools, market
centres and health facilities have no
electricity. Our artisans cannot
innovate or expand their businesses
and we are losing out on job creation
opportunities, he said.
The governor said once homes,
schools, markets and health centres
have electricity, children will be able
to study better, there will be
improved security, better communi-
cation and increased trade.
Malombe appealed to MCAs, MPs
and community leaders to help
create awareness among the people
on the benets of this project so that
they can grant permission for power
lines to pass through their land.
Munyu said REA is negotiating
with an Arab Country to access a
Sh200 million grant that will help
nance long lines in areas of poor
electricity connection bordering
Kitui and Tana River counties.
Munyu said REAs partnership
with Kitui is the rst in Kenya and
should be emulated by other county
ofcials.
The county executive for
Environment, Energy and Mineral
Investment Development, George
Mulatya, said survey of the power
lines are complete and construction
will start early June.
The project involves construction of 79 new
power lines that will extend electricity supply
by an extra 126km across the countys 40 wards
THE PLAN
Kitui County govern-
ment will spend Sh150
million on the project
and has proposed a
further Sh195m in the
2014/2015 budgetary
allocations
The project is ex-
pected to increase
electricity connections
in the county from
30 per cent to 90 per
cent

By RENSON MNYAMWEZI
The Taita-Taveta government has
introduced new guidelines for
contractors implementing commu-
nity development projects in the
region and warned of dire conse-
quences for breach of contract.
County Executive Committee
(CEC) member in charge of Water
and Irrigation Joseph Mbogho
yesterday said that under the new
regulations, contractors who delay
completion of water projects will
pay Sh20,000 liquidation damages
for each day of the delay.
HEFTY FINES
The hefty nes will be used to
hire water bowsers to supply water
to the affected community.
We are doing this to deal with
errant contractors who have been a
disservice to residents for years, he
said.
Mr Mbogho said the heavy nes

water projects
were contained in the contractual
tender agreement and contractors
awarded tenders would have to
commit themselves to them before
they could embark on implementa-
tion of community development
projects.
Contracts have to be completed
within the agreed specied time and
those who out the contractual
agreement will pay the liquidation
damages, he warned.
EMPLOY LOCALS
Mbogho made the remarks in
Taveta district when the county
administration commissioned
implementation of several water
projects amounting to over Sh20
million.
He was with other CEC members
including Giftone Mkaya (Health),
Ben Mghana (Agriculture) and ward
representatives Reubin Tiges, Francis
Rongaine, Mercy Mwakera, Hope
Mwakio, Mary Mngola and Ruth Ilao.
The CEC member also warned
contractors against employing
outsiders.
devolution and anyone engaging in
corrupt deals will be dealt with
accordingly, he said.
Mbogho said the agreement
would require contractors to buy
building materials from suppliers
with businesses in the areas where
the projects are being implemented.
We have mechanisms in place to
help us monitor all contractors.
Those found buying building materi-
als outside the area where the
projects are being done will face
stern action, he said.
All contractors awarded tenders
have signed agreement to ensure
that they employ locals in areas
where the projects are to be
implemented. Failure to do so will
lead to their contracts being
terminated and awarded to others,
he said.
NO CORRUPTION
He said those found engaging in
corruption would be blacklisted and
face the full force of the law.

Speaking in Kili on Wednesday
at the launch of the countys tree
planting season, Mwachitu said the
county government would strength-
en enforcement of environment laws
to ensure that forest blocks like
Dakatcha Woodland were better
protected.
FOREST LAWS
He called on the Kenya Forest
Service to fully enforce forest laws
and protect Kilis tree cover.
He called for civic education to
reduce high levels of forest degrada-
tion through timber, pole and
charcoal production, mostly by
locals.
Noting that environmental
challenges in the forest area were the
result of the communities depen-
dence on forest resources for their
livelihood, Mwachitu said there was
need to establish sustainable
livelihood projects such as commu-
nity tree nurseries.

Children Living in Especially Difficult Circumstances:
The Challenges of Protecting Childrens Rights in Uasin Gishu
County, Kenya
Synopsi s
Children living under especially difcult circumstances is a UNICEF concept that refers to children whose
families cannot provide them with adequate care, safety and protection. The concept includes children
who are: living in situations of war and conict; living on the streets ; orphaned, vulnerable and separated;
abandoned; institutionalized; discriminated against; HIV infected and affected; physically, sexually,
nutritionally, emotionally abused, exploited and neglected .
There are about 1.2 billion children in especially difcult circumstances; 100 million street children in the
world, 250,000 street children in Kenya 2,000 being in Eldoret and 60,000 in Nairobi; there are16 million
HIV/AIDS orphans in the world and 14.8 million of these are in Africa; there are 215 million child laborers
globally with 150 million in the developing world. There are no estimates of the number of abused children
in the world because of lack of consensus on the denitions.
The world responded to the situation by signing convention 182 on childrens rights, 138 on child labor and
Childrens act 2001 of Kenya to protect child rights. The response to HIV/AIDS resulted in the formation of
the UNAIDS, NASCOP, NACC and AMPATH with a lot of success. Although there are laws in place, children
and especially street children are still denied their rights, abused and exploited.
In conclusion, the prevalence of children in especially difcult circumstances is high with the bulk of them
in sub-Saharan Africa. There is no consensus on the denition of child abuse and research on the subject
is inadequate. Children are denied their rights in spite of the laws.
It is recommended that consensus be reached on the denition of child abuse and more research be
conducted .The laws on child rights should be enforced and the subject taught in mid-level and tertiary
academic institutions. Children should be taught about their rights and how to avoid getting abused.

of issuing consent for the sub-

This is against a directive by

The tiff is likely to degener-

between the national and
the county governments over
management of privately

BY STEVE MKAWALE
Trouble is brewing in Nakuru
County between the Ministry of
Lands and the county government
over the subdivision of agricultural-
rich land that is privately owned.
The ministry has been issuing
subdivision consent for land below
ve acres against a directive by the
county government, which fears that
further demarcation of such land
might affect agricultural productivity
in the area leading to food insecurity.
According to communications
exchanged between the two levels of
government, seen by The Standard,
two senior ofcials have been
embroiled in a bitter exchange over
the matter.
The tiff between the District
Lands Registrar Suzanne Nabulindo
and the County Executive in Charge
of Lands, Housing and Physical
Planning Rachel Maina is likely to
degenerate into a supremacy battle
between the national and the county
governments over management of
the privately owned and community
land.
FOOD SECURITY
While Ms Maina maintains that
the move was a threat to food
security in the county, Ms Nabulindo
accuses her of usurping power of the
Ministry of Lands Cabinet Secretary
Charity Ngilu.
In a letter dated April 17, this
year, Maina raised concerns over

tural land within the county saying
the move would affect food produc-

insecure.
This is therefore, to notify your

subdivision consent for land below
ve acres starting June 1 until the
County Spatial Development Plan is
developed to guide land use in the
county, read the letter addressed to
the chairman District Land Control
Board and copied to relevant
Government ofces dealing with
land matters.
In her response dated April 28,
Nabulindo dismisses Maina, saying
her order was in contravention of
the provision of Article 68 (C) (1) of
the Constitution which states:
Parliament shall enact legislation to
prescribe minimum and maximum
land holding acreages in respect of
private land.
She further states that section
159 sub-sections 1-5 of the Land Act
2012, contains the procedure for the
same and vests the powers in the
Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands.
The exchange has caused bad
blood between the two levels of
government at the county with the
ministry feeling that the county
executive is overstepping her
mandate by trying to enforce powers
that are beyond her.
HUMAN SETTLEMENT
This matter amounts to
interference of functions of the
Ministry of Land and it might cause
not sub-divided for the purpose of
human settlement.
Governor Kinuthia Mbugua is on
record cautioning owners of huge
parcels of agricultural rich land to
maintain the same for food produc-
tion.
However, the situation in the
county has been compounded by
pressure brought about by rural to
urban migration that forces
landowners to sub-divide land for
setting up homes to accommodate
the inux of people in the urban
areas.

The Kenya National Union Of
Teachers (Knut) has warned
politicians and parents against
demanding the resignation of
headteachers whenever their schools
perform poorly in the national
examinations.
Knut National Assistant Secretary
General Hesbon Otieno says
challenges facing schools should
rst be assessed before school heads
can be blamed for poor results.
Many head teachers have been
relieved of their duties due to such
pressure, leaving the students
vulnerable due to the misconcep-
tions, said Mr Otieno.
He said school performance
entails many things and as a union,
they will not sit back and watch as
parents and political leaders eject
teachers from schools merely
because of the institutions perfor-
mance.
Some schools have shortage of
staff and some teachers are forced to
use personal resources to keep the
schools running, said Otieno.
He added that school principals
are also living in fear because at
times, they are accused of misap-
propriating school funds despite
their efforts in ensuring schools are
operational.
He said the union would support
teachers and principals.

A nominated Member of West
Pokot County Assembly has called
for the auditing of Sh2.7 million
awarded to the regions Kenya Rural
Roads Authority (Kerra) for the
construction of a remote road.
Simon Chumakemer said the
authority is taking too long to
rehabilitate the 80km Tapach-
Segution road in Pokot South
constituency.
He said those assigned the work
have spent more than two months
on only a two-kilometre section,
adding that the delays are resulting
to great losses for the dairy farmers.
This is the only road linking
dairy farmers to Tapach milk coolant
and as the rains pound, the road has
become impassable resulting to
loses due to delays in reaching the
plant, said Mr Chumakemer.
He pointed out that only one old
grader was working on the road and
called on the county executive for
Roads to intervene so as to expedite
the project.
Chumakemer said the county
government had budgeted for Sh10
million for rehabilitation of county
roads and called on the relevant
authorities to discharge their duties
with utmost speed.

A farmer in Narok South is
counting losses after his three cows
worth about Sh200,000 were
devoured by a pack of hyenas that
strayed from the Masai Mara Game
Reserve on Wednesday night.
The beasts reportedly climbed
over a fortied cattle pen at night
and feasted on the dairy cows until
morning when they were chased
away by the owner, John Koini, with
the help of his farm workers.
They jumped over the fence
while we were asleep and feasted
on the cows. We didnt hear any
commotion, said Mr Koini, a
farmer from Ololulunga.
He added: When I woke up in
the morning to supervise milking
by my farm workers, I saw the
hyenas inside the cattle pen. I
called the workers and together we
managed to chase them away.
He said they did catch any of the
hyenas because they were so
vicious, yet they did not have
adequate weapons. The beasts
disappeared into a thicket.
The locals combed the thicket to
revenge the killings., but later
abandoned their mission when
wardens from the Kenya Wildlife
Service (KWS) arrived at the
homestead.
The wardens prevailed upon the
angry villagers to abandon the
hunt.
Locals complained that since
December last year, they have lost
cows, sheep and goats to lions and
hyenas and asked KWS to take
remedial measures to avoid the
human-wildlife conict.
WILD ANIMALS
We have lost several animals to
these marauding wild animals. We
dont want to take the law into our
own hands. KWS should move
them (animals) away from settle-
ment areas, said James ole Seur, a
teacher.
He was among who joined in the
hunt for the hyenas.
Koini said he will pursue
compensation from the Govern-
ment and called on KWS to speedily
expedite with the matter because
the killing has affected his eco-
nomic base.
The three cows used to produce
six 20-litre gallons of milk every
day. The killing has now reduced
my earnings and that is why there
is need for KWS to compensate me
according to the new wildlife laws,
he said.
The Narok Senior KWS Warden
William Sang said his personnel
will track the hyenas and lions
roaming the area and move them to
Mara and asked locals to work with
his ofce to minimise the runaway
cases of human-wildlife conict.
For weeks now, cattle keepers in
areas bordering the Mara have
killed more than a dozen hyenas,
claiming that they were responsible
for devouring their cattle.
Hyenas maul three cows worth Sh200,000

Now Cheboi, local leaders meet over hunger crisis
By ROBERT KIPLAGAT
Baringo Governor Benjamin
Cheboi yesterday held a crisis
meeting with area leaders to
discuss the biting hunger in the
region.
The meeting comes even as the
governor is due to appear before
the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture to explain the steps his
government has taken to mitigate
the crisis.
He is expected to face the Kiraitu
Murungi-led committee on June 6.
Yesterday, the governor met
county ofcials including Ward
Administrators, Sub-county
administrators, and national
government ofcers to deliberate
on hunger response.
He said the agenda of the
meeting was to map out affected
areas and devise response mecha-
nisms to avoid loss of life.
STARVING RESIDENTS
We need to work with those
close to the people such as chiefs,
ward administrators and deputy
commissioners for effective
response to hunger-related cases,
said Cheboi.
Figures by the National Disaster
Management Authority indicate
that around 50,000 people are in
dire of food aid in the mainly
pastoral Baringo County.
Cheboi, who has conrmed that
he will honour the summons by the
Senate team, said his administra-
tion has distributed over 3,000 bags
of maize to starving residents in
East Pokot, Baringo North and
Marigat, and a further 3,000 bags
were on the way.
This county needs up to 17,000
bags a month to feed the hunger-
stricken families as we work on

House team to probe upgrading projects at MTRH
By TITUS TOO
National Assembly Public
Investment Committee (PIC) has
directed Moi Teaching and Referral
Hospital (MTRH) to furnish it with
full information on upgrading
projects that are ongoing at the
facility. PIC has given the hospitals
management seven days to supply it
with the requested information.
The team of 30 parliamentarians
led by PIC Chairman Adan Keynan,
who met the management in Eldoret
yesterday, wants to know if due
process was followed in tendering
and the costing for the projects.
They have also requested for
feasibility and technical reports as
well as details on procurement
processes and costing.
We want to carry out a thorough
inquiry on the projects because they
are massive investments. We are not
questioning project viability but we
want to ensure taxpayers funds are
properly utilised, said Keynan.
He added that they would also
ask cabinet secretaries National
Treasury and Health, the Auditor
General and Director General of
Public Procurement Authority to
present reports on the same within
the next two weeks.
Keynan said the hospital is
currently investing Sh49 billion in
the ongoing projects, adding that
documents provided to the commit-
tee by the management yesterday
did not address all their concerns.
TENDERING PROCESS
The members also questioned
the tendering process for the
construction of a warehouse whose
costs reportedly rose from Sh12
million to Sh33 million.
The meeting held at the MTRH
boardroom was also attended by the
facilitys CEO John Kibosia.

three cryptic cross-
word-style clues:
Top line: Wearing a

(4, 2, 4)
Middle line: Fix up
an ache with style.

Bottom line:
Though obstruc-

To start you off,

competitive project. Taking on a leader-
ship role may mean more to you now.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

on to what you have is a special inter-
est to you today. Power is building up for
you in family, home ownership, property
and community interests.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

est budget as well as a moneymaking ef-
fort. This looks successful to others who

the old way of doing things and gain a
good inspiration.
Cancer
(June 22 - July 22)
YouTake full advantage of your position

Nurses in a Chinese hospital
have swapped the traditional
short-skirts nursing uniform
for those of air hostesses.
They were given a months
training by real flight attend-
ants from China Eastern
Airlines and now wear the
outfits, which hospital staff
say have slightly longer skirts.
Bu Haijuan, head of Lianshui
Huaian Hospital of Chinese
Medicines nursing unit, said
customer service is behind the
move.The nurses who wear the
outfits are paid more and are
expected to take on a heavier.
But one nurse from the ward
trialling the change, said shes
sleeping two hours earlier so
she looks better in the
morning, whereas another
avoids fatty foods for the
same reason.
Cooks can wear white
uniforms. Butchers can wear
white uniforms. There is no
regulation saying that nurses
have to wear white, said Ms
Bu.

vote count as President trails

LILONGWE, Thursday
Malawis ruling People Party has
found serious irregularities in the
counting and announcement of re-
sults from the southern African na-
tions May 20 election, President
Joyce Banda said, raising fears of a
disputed outcome and violence.
Reports included hackers break-
ing into Malawi Election Commis-
sion (MEC) computers and ballot
tallies exceeding the number of reg-
istered voters in some constituen-
cies, prompting Banda to demand a
manual count.
It has come to my attention that
there are some serious irregularities
in the counting and announcement
of results in some parts of the coun-
try, Banda said in a statement.
I call upon the Malawi Electoral
Commission to carry out an imme-
diate manual audit of the whole pro-
cess, she added, urging Malawis 13
million people to remain calm dur-
ing the delay.
FUELLING SUSPICIONS
The commission said on Wednes-
day it was abandoning its digital re-
sults platform, fuelling suspicions of
skullduggery after a catalogue of
mishaps surrounding the poll.
The only result released so far a
partial tally put out by the private
Zodiak radio station gave opposi-
tion Democratic Progressive Party
(DPP) leader Peter Mutharika, the
brother of late President Bingu wa
Mutharika, a narrow lead.
However, the People Party of Ban-
da, who took over as president after
Bingu wa Mutharikas death in ofce
two years ago, disputed the interim
total and said the count had been
compromised.

WASHINGTON, Thursday
The US has deployed about 80 mil-
itary personnel to Chad in its effort to
help nd and return more than 200
Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Is-
lamist militant group Boko Haram,
President Barack Obama told Con-
gress on Wednesday.
The deployment came even as Ni-
gerian teachers went on strike and
staged rallies nationwide on Thursday
in protest against the kidnapping of
more than 200 schoolgirls by the Isla-
mist Boko Haram sect and the killing
of nearly as many teachers during its
insurgency.
These personnel will support the
operation of intelligence, surveil-
lance, and reconnaissance aircraft for
missions over northern Nigeria and
the surrounding area, Obama said in
a letter to congressional leaders.
The forces are to remain in Chad
until they are no longer needed,
Obama added.
A senior Obama administration
ofcial said the military personnel
were deployed to Chad with the con-
sent of that government. Some will
maintain the unmanned aircraft in-
volved in the mission and the rest will
provide security for the group.
The girls were taken in April from
a boarding school close to Nigerias
border with Cameroon, Niger and
Chad in a sparsely populated region.
Their whereabouts are unknown.
The kidnappings have generated
an outpouring of concern from the
US, with Obamas wife, Michelle,
speaking out about the crisis. The
president himself has resisted some
calls from Republicans in Congress to
send special forces into Nigeria to
search for the girls.
US surveillance aircraft have been
ying over remote areas of north-east
Nigeria for two weeks, and the Penta-
gon struck an agreement last week-
end to allow it to share intelligence di-
rectly with the Nigerian government.
The US has also sent ofcials from
the State Department and the FBI to
Nigeria to help in the search.
The Predator ights were in addi-
tion to unmanned surveillance ights
already being carried out by Global
Hawk aircraft, the ofcial said.

BRUSSELS: US denes future
military ties with Egypt
The future of US military ties with Egypt,
curtailed after a crackdown on opponents
by the army-backed leaders, will depend
on the actions of the future government,
the top US military ofcer said ahead
of Egyptian elections next week. Our
relationship will be affected by their
actions and whether they make progress
on their political transition, said General
Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US
Joint Chiefs of Staff. Our military ties
should largely be dened by our common
interests. Although presidential elections
on Monday and Tuesday could provide the
countrys leaders new legitimacy, many
Obama administration ofcials question
whether Egypt should again become the
premier US partner in the Arab world.
TUNIS: Tunisia arrests
Islamists from Libya
Tunisia arrested eight Islamists arriving
from its troubled neighbour Libya and
said they were planning attacks in Tunisia.
This group of eight extremists came from
Libya ... planning to assassinate security
ofcials and mount attacks against
government institutions, the Interior
Ministry said without giving details of
their nationality. The detainees had
been trained in explosives and weapons
in Libya. With the rise in violence in its
neighbour Libya, Tunisia has tightened
security in anticipation of possible
inltration of armed groups. Tunisian
security forces have been battling
militants from the banned Islamist
movement Ansar al-Sharia, one of the
most hardline groups to emerge after the
2011 ouster of autocrat Zine El-Abidine
Ben Ali.
HARARE: Zimbabwe illegal
settlers take over sugar
estates
Hundreds of illegal settlers invaded sugar
estates owned by the Zimbabwe units of
South Africas Tongaat Hullett this week.
Lands and Resettlement Minister Douglas
Mombeshora said police were removing
about 600 families who had moved onto
sugar estates owned by Tongaats Hippo
Valley Estates and Triangle Sugar in
southern Zimbabwe. The southern African
country made world headlines in 2000
when thousands of invaders occupied
white-owned farms with the blessing
of President Robert Mugabes ZANU-PF
party, leading to a collapse of commercial
agriculture. The two estates sugar mills
have a combined milling capacity to crush
nearly 5 million tonnes of cane annually
and produce over 640,000 tonnes of
sugar. Their rening capacity is 140,000
tonnes per annum.
BAMAKO: Tuareg separatists
beat back Mali offensive
Tuareg separatists repulsed an attempt
by Malis army to take control of
their stronghold of Kidal and seized
another northern town, setbacks that
could potentially embarrass President
Ibrahim Boubacar Keitas government.
Malian troops launched the offensive
to retake control of Kidal after a clash
over the weekend, while Prime Minister
Moussa Mara was visiting. At least eight
soldiers and eight civilians were killed.
Government forces then reinforced their
positions. The renewed ghting threatens
efforts to nd a peaceful solution to the
long cycle of Tuareg rebellions in Malis
desert north.

digital election management plat-
form has been hacked by some sus-
pected DPP operatives, PP spokes-
man Wakuda Kamanga said.
Mutharika said police had been
sent to his residence in the capital,
Lilongwe, to search for a hacking
machine but were refused entry be-
cause they had no warrant.
What we want as DPP is a free
and fair election. We know that Joyce
Banda is trying to intimidate me by
sending the army and making claims
of rigging, he told reporters. That
is nonsense.
The poll has been plagued by
problems from the outset, with vot-
ing materials turning up hours late
and ballot papers being sent to the
wrong end of the country, infuriating
voters in the impoverished, land-
locked nation.
Organisers had to extend voting
in some urban areas into a second
day and initial counting was held up
by a lack of lighting and generators
at polling stations.
Its true weve faced logistical dif-
culties but we are working day and
night to x the problems and make
this election credible, MEC head
Maxon Mbendera told Reuters.
United Democratic Front leader
Atupele Muluzi, another presidential
challenger, is also seeking a court in-
junction to stop announcement of
the results over concerns about their
veracity. The elections are the tight-
est since the end of one-party rule 20
years ago.
In the absence of reliable opinion
polls, most analysts had picked Ban-
da southern Africas rst female
head of State as a narrow favourite,
although recently her popularity
with voters and foreign donors has
been hit by a corruption scandal.
Police red tear gas in at least one
area of Blantyre, the countrys big-
gest city, to disperse angry protesters
who threw stones and ransacked a
polling station where there had been
a voting delay. Elsewhere in Blantyre,
youths blocked some roads with
boulders.
Some rioters complained that op-
position candidates had been left off
the ballot papers, an allegation that
the national election commission
said was false. Protesters blocked a
road with tree branches, forcing the
President to use an alternative route
from the presidential palace to the
polling station in the eastern town of
Zomba. Reuters

LONDON: Russia irked by

Russia has sought a meeting with British

diplomat from its London embassy was
expected to meet with a senior ofcer

The 65-year-old prince, during a tour

ed from Poland during World War

Syrias Aleppo prison
Syrian troops have broken a year-long
rebel siege on Aleppos main prison
after heavy ghting with Al-Qaeda
ghters and other Islamist brigades, the
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
monitoring group said. Forces loyal to
President Bashar al-Assad entered the
prison compound in military vehicles
and gunre. Fighters from Al-Qaedas
Nusra Front have tried repeatedly to
storm the prison and free its inmates,
bombing and breaching its outer walls
but failing to take full control. The
complex holds around 3,000 prisoners.
The recapture means that Assads

Thai army stages coup after
talks between rivals fail
in a long battle between supporters of
ousted former Prime Minister Thak-
sin Shinawatra and opponents backed
by the royalist establishment.
The army had declared martial law
on Tuesday, saying the measure was
necessary to prevent violence.
Prayuth had called on the two
sides in a rst round of talks on
Wednesday to agree on a compromise
that would have hinged around the
appointment of an interim prime
minister, political reforms and the
timing of an election.
Wednesdays talks ended with nei-
ther side ceding ground.
The army had let rival protesters
remain on the streets but it banned
them from marching to prevent clash-
es. It has also clamped down on the
media, including partisan television
channels, and warned against inam-
matory material on social media.
After the coup, a senior army of-
cial said troops would escort protests
away from their rally sites.
Leaders of the ruling Puea Thai
Party and the opposition Democrat
Party, the Senate leader and the ve-
member Election Commission had
joined the second round of talks at an

BANGKOK, Thursday
Thailands army chief General Pr-
ayuth Chan-ocha took control of the
government in a coup, saying the ar-
my had to restore order and push
through reforms, two days after he de-
clared martial law.
Prayuth made the announcement
in a television broadcast after he held
a meeting with all rival factions aimed
at nding a solution to six months of
anti-government protests.
For the situation to return to nor-
mal and for society to love and be at
peace again ... and to reform the struc-
ture of the political, economic and so-
cial structure, the military needs to
take control of power, Prayuth said in
the televised announcement.
The broadcast came shortly after
soldiers took the leader of anti-gov-
ernment protests, Suthep Thaugsub-
an, out of the meeting that was aimed
at nding a solution to a drawn-out
power struggle that has polarised the
country and battered its economy.

Biggest terrorist attack in years kills 31,
injures scores in Chinas restive region
BEIJING, Thursday
Explosives hurled from two vehi-
cles, which ploughed into an open
market in Chinas troubled Xinjiang
killed 31 people, State media report-
ed, the deadliest act of violence in
the region in years.
Chinas Ministry of Public Securi-
ty called the attack in the regional
capital of Urumqi a serious violent
terrorist incident. Domestic Securi-
ty chief Meng Jianzhu vowed to
strengthen a crackdown on the ar-
rogance of terrorists.
China has blamed a series of knife
and bomb attacks in recent months
on separatist militants from Xinji-
ang, the traditional home of the eth-
nic Muslim Uighurs.
The cross-country vehicles
rammed into shoppers in an open
market. Explosives were ung out of
the vehicles, and one of the vehicles
exploded. One witness told Reuters
he saw the aftermath of the blasts on
his way to work.
The air was full of the smell of
gunpowder and the sound of sob-
bing, he said. There were simply
too many casualties, old folks who
were at the morning market.
A business owner said he had
heard a dozen loud explosions at the
market near Renmin Park in down-
town Urumqi.
Xinjiang has been plagued by vi-
olence for years, but rights activists
and exile groups say the govern-
ments own heavy-handed policies
have sowed the seeds of unrest.
Photos posted on social media
purportedly of the blast, but not ver-
ied by Reuters, showed a column of
smoke and chaos at the market, with
bloodied people lying on the tree-
lined road near small stands selling
fruit, vegetables and eggs.
SCATTERED DEBRIS
There were two vehicles that
drove like crazy towards the morning
market, another witness who de-
clined to give his name told Reuters
by telephone. The market was total
chaos. Hawkers and shoppers start-
ed running everywhere... it was de-
nitely a terrorist act. Im so angry.
Other photos showed riot police
on the scene and bodies lying amid
ames. Produce and debris were
scattered across the street.
Dilshat Rexit, spokesman for the
exiled World Uyghur Congress, said
in an e-mail to Reuters that while he
wasnt sure who committed the at-
tack, he believed Beijings policies in
the region should be examined.
The volatility of the situation
and Beijings repressive policies in
the area have a direct relationship to
this, Rexit said. I urge Beijing not to
use this incident as an excuse to ex-
pand repressive policies, and instead
to adjust policies to ameliorate a de-
teriorating situation.
In a posting on its Chinese-lan-
guage microblog, the US Embassy
offered condolences to victims of the
violent attack, but stopped short of
labelling it terrorism.
President Xi Jinping said police
would step up patrols and security
controls over possible terrorist tar-
gets and prevent ripple effects, Xin-
hua reported. Xi vowed to severely
punish terrorists.
A working group led by Guo
Shengkun, Chinas Minister of Public
Security, was dispatched to the re-
gion to investigate.
The attack was the deadliest in a
recent series targeting crowded pub-
lic places in China. In March, 29 peo-
ple were stabbed to death at a train
station in the south-western city of
Kunming.
A bomb and knife attack earlier
this month at an Urumqi train sta-
tion killed one bystander and wound-
ed 79. A car burst into ames at the
edge of Tiananmen Square in Octo-
ber, killing ve people, in what Bei-
jing said was a terrorist attack.
China has said Islamist militants
from Xinjiang carried out the attacks.
Separatist groups in Xinjiang are
seeking to form their own state called
East Turkestan.
SMASHING VEHICLES
Xinjiang, resource-rich and stra-
tegically located on the borders of
central Asia, is home to the Uighur
people, a mostly Muslim ethnic
group who speak a Turkic language
and are culturally distinct from Chi-
nas ethnic Han majority.
Violent riots shook the region in
2009, when hundreds of locals took
to the streets in Urumqi, burning
and smashing vehicles. Dozens were
killed in the unrest.
But exiles and rights groups
blame Chinas repressive policies
that have targeted religious free-
doms and economic opportunities
for Uighurs are to blame.

TOKYO, Thursday
Vietnam is watching how the Phil-
ippines fares in an international court
over its maritime territorial dispute
with China, as Hanoi seeks to resolve
peacefully its row with Beijing in the
South China Sea, Deputy Prime Min-
ister Vu Duc Dam said.
Dam repeated Hanois demand
that China withdraw a huge oil rig de-
ployed 240km off the coast of Vietnam
in waters also claimed by Hanoi.
But he said Vietnam was not set-
ting a deadline for Beijing.
When we are committed to a dia-
logue, we do not raise the question of
a deadline, said Dam, who was in Ja-
pan to attend a conference on the fu-
ture of Asia.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung
said his government was considering
various defence options against
China, including legal action.
We would like to exhaust all dip-
lomatic channels with China. Dia-
logue is still going on, Dam said, re-
iterating Hanois stance that Chinas
action violated both Vietnamese sov-
ereignty and international law.
In March, the Philippines, em-
broiled in a separate dispute with Bei-
jing in the South China Sea, submit-
ted a case to the Permanent Court of
Arbitration in The Hague, challenging
Chinas claims. It was the rst time
Beijing has been subjected to interna-
tional legal scrutiny over the waters.
We respect the Philippines deci-
sion to use the arbitration court as a
peaceful means, Dam said, We have
followed this case very closely and
would like to use all measures provid-
ed by international law to protect our
legitimate interests.
Dam also said Hanoi was commit-
ted to taking any steps needed to pro-
tect the interests of foreign investors
and businesses after anti-Chinese vi-
olence ared last week.
TENSE DISPUTE
Beijings move was the latest con-
frontation between China and some
of its neighbours over the potentially
oil-and-gas rich South China Sea. Ja-
pan has its own tense dispute with
China over tiny, uninhabited isles in
the East China Sea.
Anti-Chinese riots erupted in Viet-
nam last week, prompting Beijing to
evacuate thousands of its nationals.
But, Dam said Hanoi was main-
taining normal trade relations with
China, but suggested Vietnams econ-
omy could weather any fallout from
the dispute.

There is a new Tyler Perry in town
by the name of Daniel Kioko,
whose passion for the lm genre
drama shines through and has
pushed him to create the movie
Love and Deceit.
The movie, to be launched to-
day at Machakos Peoples Park, re-
volves around long-time friends
Eddy Nzi (Daniel Kioko) and Sho-
la (Peter Momanyi). After Eddy
gets a job as an accountant in a
prestigious company, he ditches
his friend and completely changes
his life.
His colleague Semi (Michael
Mwangi) and new friends intro-
duce him to life in the fast lane
fancy cars, tasteful women, club-
bing and spending money on
alcohol and material things.
WELL-WRITTEN SCRIPT
Semi, a guy who enjoys multi-
relationships, inuences Eddy to
cheat on his girlfriend Ruth (Fran-
ces Brown) with a couple of girls
from work and others he meets
when they go out and on whom he
spends money, forgetting the one
girl who loves him. Semi irts with
Brenda (Benedicta Imus) but she
wants none of it, thus setting the
background for the drama.
It is an inescapable fact that the
script was well-written, with the
two engaged in a cat-and-mouse
game of a man showing interest in
a girl who knows how to play hard
to get. When Brenda asks Semi
whether he has no work to do,
Semi replies: You are my work to-
day.
I have always loved drama. It
is something we can relate to as we
watch it. It is borrowed from real
life; it sends a message and people
grow in it. Basically, it is a new con-
cept in Kenya that can offer op-
portunities for lmmakers. I think
we need more of such movies for
the growth of the lm industry as
there are already many comedies
in the market, says Kioko.
The story in this movie is a
complete one, taking the audience
through the journey of all these
characters, and you get to see the
kind of ending that leaves all ques-
tions answered unlike in some
movies where the audience is left
to speculate about what will hap-
pen to the characters, he ex-
plains.
The movie was shot in Kenya
and the US and Daniel, who was
the producer, director and main
actor, forked out $25,000 (Sh2.15
million) to see it become a reality.
I am in this industry to stay
and therefore people should ex-
pect that I will release movies back
to back every year. The stories will
revolve around families, relation-
ships, in a simple yet captivating
way, he stresses.
The cast comprises Kenyan,
Nigerian and Liberian actors and
actresses, which Daniel points out
was to make the movie retain its
African appeal and expand the
market to other regions.
He discloses that two other
lms are currently in pre-produc-
tion stage and will be out by next
July.
I want to keep pursuing per-
fection in movies, creating that
public satisfaction in entertain-
ment, and keep developing talent.
I also want to engage the African
audience and see art as a source of
employment for the youth, he
concludes.
Tyler
Perry
His pursuit of a
long-held passion
has seen him
release a lm that
is by Africans
and for Africans

By FRANKLINE SUNDAY
Kenya has been ranked second in
Africa as a source of investment an
indication that the countrys eco-
nomic clout is spreading beyond East
Africa.
According to a report by the Afri-
can Progress Panel, Kenya is part of
emerging sources of development -
nance in the continent that indicate
a shift from traditional sources of for-
eign direct investment.
Another of the misperceptions
surrounding Africas growth is that
foreign investment is in the driving
seat, reads the report in part.
Much of the investment espe-
cially in banking and nance, tele-
communications, retail and services
is driven by regional players.
South Africa is emerging as a key
investor on the continent, followed by
Kenya and Nigeria, it said.
This implies that Kenyan rms are
leading the pack of African compa-
nies nancing new investments in
their own countries and in their re-
gions.
In the past decade, Kenyan com-
panies have successfully made entry
into neighbouring countries in the re-
gion as they seek to cut their reliance
on the saturated and competitive do-
mestic market.

Ministry of Industrialisation

Government will focus on ve
key economic sectors to drive
rapid results.Speaking, when
he met, Lord David Sainsbury,

assured that the Government
has embarked on a strategic

Publisher launches
digital book platform
The high cost of printing which
has turned off many potential
authors from launching their
own books is set to change with
the launch of Eame digital
platform to encourage more
Kenyans take advantage of
technology to write e-books.
At a one time cost of Sh35,000
budding authors will receive
all the support they need to
come up with a best selling
book. Eame is owned by
Flamekeepers Publishing Ltd.
According to Daniel Wabala, a
founder of the company, this
is expected to dramatically
change the publishing industry.
We are nally launching this
new product that will make
publishing affordable and
more protable . With the new
media phenomenon, many
people today prefer searching
for information online unlike
the traditional way of going to
bookshops or libraries, he said.

namic large African companies have
emerged, many working in partner-
ship with foreign investors and often
with a primary focus on regional and
domestic markets, states the Africa
Progress Panel.
The Dangote Group, owned by Af-
ricas richest man Aliko Dangote has
been singled out as African made con-
glomerates that are nancing the new-
age development agenda.
Ranked Africas largest business
conglomerate, The Dangote Group
has interests in cement and diverse ar-
eas of agriculture in several central
and West African countries.
Last Month the Government re-
vealed that it has issued an operating
licence to Dangote Cement giving the
cement maker the green light to
launch a $400 million (Sh34.4 billion)
offensive into the Kenyan lucrative ce-
ment industry.
The expected entry of Dangote Ce-
ment into the Kenyan market is going
to stoke up competition.

Kenya is embarking on imple-
menting a tourism recovery strategy
even as it expects to post huge losses
after huge cancelations following the
travel advisories last week.
Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) said it
would over the next several months
execute an industry recovery pro-
gramme that will cost Sh200 million.
The tourism industrys marketing
agency, however, noted that it might
take the country more than just a few
months to get destination Kenya back
on track.
The strategy will reach out to Ke-
nyans through the Tembea Kenya
campaign as well as reassure regional
and international tourists.
Even as KTB starts what it expects
to be an aggressive marketing cam-
paign to reassure the market, it still
faces the difculty of nancing the
campaign, with the National Treasury
yet to release the Sh200 million meant
for the recovery kitty.
Muriithi Ndegwa, managing direc-
tor of KTB said yesterday he expected
Treasury to release the money to the
organisation in the coming days.
KTB is currently nancing the re-
covery programme by reallocating
funds meant for other tourism mar-
keting programmes.
We are still waiting for Treasury to
disburse the money and in the mean-
time we are reallocating money from
areas that are non-essential to nance
the recovery activities but we are sure
that Treasury will release the money
soon, he said.
He spoke at a brieng on the re-
cent happenings that have dealt a
major blow to the tourism industry.
Ndegwa said the recovery plan
would seek to reassure tourists in the
regional and international markets
about Kenya as destination as well as
encourage Kenyans to tour the coun-
try in a bid to cushion the industry.
He is optimistic about perfor-
mance this year but in a very cautious
manner, noting that the industry has
experienced a challenging rst quar-
ter of 2014.

Consumers should brace for hard
times as millers increase price for
maize our, following reductions in
maize stocks.
Millers say they have exhausted
their stocks as farmers continue
hoarding maize in anticipation of
high prices in coming months.
The Government on the other
side has about three million bags of
maize held under the strategic grain
reserve (SGR).
Continued lack of maize, analysts
warns will put more pressure to the
already depressed consumers pur-
chasing power.
Diamond Lalji, the chairman of
Cereals Millers Association, said
farmers are hoarding maize produce
anticipating high prices thus
prompting millers to rely on imports
from Tanzania and Uganda.
Currently we do not have enough
stocks in our warehouses and we
have resorted to procuring maize
from the neighbouring countries,
he said yesterday in a phone inter-
view.
He said the scarcity has disrupted
supplies to the local retail outlets
and supermarkets thus triggering
high prices of our.

The Committee found Oranges
advertising to be to some extent mis-

mendation.

it is run on or edited in a manner stat-
ed by the Committee as a busi-
ness, we chose the latter recommen-
dation, said Telkom Kenya in a
statement yesterday.
The ASC stated that the adver-
tisement should be re-worded to
make it clear; that it is a peak time
ative advertising we have already
adhered to the standards set by the
Code on comparative advertising,
said Telkom Kenya.
Orange charges Sh2 for within
network calls and Sh3 for calls to oth-
er networks, compared to Safaricoms
Sh4 for all calls. Oranges tariffs are
comparable to the offerings by other
operators.
Orange started airing the advert
early this year, in its bid to grow sub-
scriber base and shed off the tag of
being the smallest operator.
In the initial advert, the rm does
not explicitly name Safaricom as the
more expensive operator and instead
refers it to the other and that.

Kenya moves to ratify
EAC Monetary Union
By LUKE ANAMI
Kenya has formally begun the process of
ratifying the East African Community Mon-
etary Union (EAMU) protocol with the draft-
ing of a legal opinion, which will be forward-
ed to the Attorney General Prof Githu
Muigai.
Senior Assistant Director, Economic Af-
fairs in the Ministry of EAC Affairs Eliazar
Muga said the process is already on to draft
a legal opinion which would later be present-
ed to the AG for legal advice and drafting for
the National Assembly.
We have already begun the process of
ratifying the Monetary Union, the third pil-
lar of the EAC, he said.
According to Mr Muga, one of the require-
ments is to include views of the various play-
ers including the private sector, Central Bank
and Kenya Bureau of Statistics.
He made the remarks during a county
sensitisation workshop in Kakamega. EAC
Director Social Services, Agnes Sila and EA-
LA MP Ms Nancy Abisai accompanied him.
EAC Heads of States in Kampala signed
the monetary union that will allow the use of
a single currency last year.
The Monetary Union or currency union is
expected to benet the ve EAC Partner
States as it promotes trade and investment
by reducing uncertainty and transaction
costs. East African Community comprises
Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Bu-
rundi.
The Monetary Union, which came into
force last year, is expected to be implement-
ed over a ten-year period.
A single currency is to be adopted upon
fulllment of the prerequisites for monetary
union and attainment of macro-economic
convergence where it shall be adopted by at
least three Partner States that meet the re-
quirements. Muga said Kenya is likely to bare
the burden of the protocol, as its currency is
the strongest in the region.
It is not very easy to harmonise all cur-
rencies in the region. However we know that
our shilling and may be Rwandan Franc are
stronger and so we are likely to adjust in the
arrangement, he explained.
Kakamega County Governor Wycliffe
Oparanya said EAC Common Market would
make it possible for farmers to access new
markets in the region.
The free movement of persons and la-
bour should also offer employment and in-
vestment opportunities for Kenyans, he said
in remarks delivered on his behalf by Deputy
Governor Prof Philip Kutima.

and investment opportunities on the continent. The US-Africa Business
Forum will be part of President Obamas US-Africa Leaders Summit, the
rst summit of its kind, and the largest event that any US president has
ever convened with African heads of state or government. President
Obama will participate in the conversation with CEOs and government
leaders from the US and Africa. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker
said opportunities for the US and Africa to work together to achieve
mutual prosperity for their countries and their people are growing.

Hugging someone
without their consent
can amount to sexual
harassment or a form of
dominance over others
Companies have increasingly codied workplace rules including hugging
and touching, with experts agreeing to an arms-off policy.
Opportunity Commission agrees.
While talking to Madame Noire mag-
azine, she said: The best policy to
avoid awkward hugs is to let your co-
workers know upfront how you feel
about hugs. To many, a hug is con-
sidered foreign, but admits that he
has hugged a colleague, once.
It followed a suggestion by the
other colleague. Hugging at the work
place is a common practice wheth-
er one is married or single, widowed
or divorced.
Peter Post, a director of the Emily
Post Institute says the good rule of
thumb is that huggers should consid-
er not hugging a woman if they also
wouldnt hug a man. Shaking hands
will be perfectly acceptable. For
some, a hug is a level of intimacy re-
By WINSLEY MASESE
The ofce environment is chang-
ing fast. While a hug was kind of a for-
bidden greeting gesture, it is increas-
ingly gaining acceptability.
While many would embrace it, a
colleague disapproves it and in case
you insist for one, he will communi-
cate his displeasure after you have
hugged him. According to Gloria Ak-
inyi Mwangi, a human resource ad-
ministration manager at Rapid Com-
munications Ltd, hugging is part of
their company culture, which is an
indication of how close they are.
DIFFICULT TIMES
Ms Akinyi argues that besides im-
proving the productivity of employes,
hugging at the workplace shows that
there is a shoulder to lean on during
difcult times. By being close, we
make work easier and we are able to
achieve our goals, she says, adding
that if an employe achieves an ex-
traordinary target, a hug goes a long
way.
She however insists that a hug
should remain a hug, adding that one
should not cross the boundaries lest
it appears like some sexual advances
made towards the other colleague.
The young generation hug one an-
other a lot more than the older gen-
eration, Gloria noted. At the bottom
of it however, she says it depends on
an individual.
Carol Miaskoff, the assistant legal
counsel for the Equal Employment
There are
circumstances in which
hugging could be
appropriate during
personal moments, such
as news of pregnancy
or a personal tragedy.
graceless, which seems to be a blurred
line many are still looking answers
for. There is a change in culture at
many a workplace, which in most
cases is not part of the code of con-
duct stipulated by the company pol-
icy. In many ofces today, many
young employees or the so-called
dot-com generation have no prob-
lem hugging or giving a peck on the
cheek.
Any kind of intimate touching is
a mistake, Post says. I would avoid
even reaching out to touch some-
bodys shoulder while walking by
them. We recommend that people re-
frain from stepping in and giving a
hug to a co-worker or a client.
He noted that there are circum-
stances in which hugging could be
appropriate during such moments
as when news of pregnancy or trag-
edy have broken.
Today, physical affection ourish-
es in certain sections such as market-
ing and fashion, for instance, even as
companies increasingly codify the
rules of workplace touching.
Ofce etiquette experts agree that
in general, an arms-off policy is rec-
ommended. That said, most people
have given or received an unwanted
hug in the ofce, and it usually re-
sults in some awkward moments.
Why internal vacancies offer best chance for career growth
By WINSLEY MASESE
Career growth and development
within the same organisation gives
employees limitless opportunities to
develop and grow from within.
In many instances, companies
give the rst priority to the current
employees to ll vacant or newly cre-
ated positions, before they opt to
source for talent from outside.
This is because the management
often trusts the people they know
and interact with within the organi-
sation. They may also not have an
idea on the skills, experience, abili-
ties, knowledge, and career interests
outside employees possess.
Besides, it is considered a good
management practice to post job
openings internally for employees
who exhibit these abilities to apply
so that they gain exposure to other
areas of the company. The advantage
of applying for a job internally is that
you do not have to dress differently
from the way you currently do. Inter-
nal employees do not have to try to
make a good rst impression through
wearing a suit since the interviewing
panel already knows their dressing
code and character.
GREAT ABILITIES
Kerry Ochang, a human resources
personnel at Safaricom Ltd says that
jobs are earned and not given, add-
ing that it ti good to prove ones po-
tential by applying for the position.
Your employer or managers might
not know how good you are and ap-
plying for that internal vacancy is the
opportunity to prove your abilities to
do even what they did not know you
are qualied to do, he advises.
And in case an employee thinks
there is already an employee ear-
marked for that post, that is politics
that is mainly not backed by facts.
Recruitment is a costly exercise and
most companies cannot advertise
for a post when they already have
their pick.And when employees
treat an internal vacancy casually as
mostly happens, he sees it as a mat-
ter of attitude. One would be mis-
guided not to apply for the internal
vacancy when the time comes to ap-
ply, he advises.
ADVERTISED POSITIONS
For various reasons, however,
studies indicate that many employ-
ees do not take these opportunities
seriously. Almasi Chief Executive
Richard Wooding sees it as a missed
opportunity.
Though all employees ultimately
work for themselves, he believes that
it is up to them to manage their ca-
reers. But I would feel sad if they do
not apply for the internally adver-
tised positions, he says. Wooding
notes that if people do not apply for
the positions, then there is a prob-
lem within the company. He ob-
serves that favouritism should not
make a competent person fail to get
a job as such things have no place in
the modern professional world. But
when people see there is transparen-
cy and objectivity in the recruitment
exercise, it would send out a clear
message on how serious they take
their staff, Wooding notes.
In most cases, some employees
would feel that the companys man-
agers have someone lined up for that
position and any attempt to apply
would be in vain.
If you lose, congratulate the win-
ner shake their hands and offer them
your support. It also helps to get a
feedback from the HR department
on why you did not make it. This will
help you improve on areas that re-
quire more input and boost your
chances.
To hug or not to in the workplace?
served for those who are personally
close and not a thing for colleagues
or business partners. But in some
cases, there are those who do it with-
out the consent of the other person
and that, to a large extent amounts to
sexual assault.
CREEPY FEELING
Some etiquette experts argue that
hugging can go overboard and be-
come a form of dominance on the
other partner.
The question has also been asked
in some quarters whether married
couples should allow physical affec-
tion, in the form of a hug.
They also grapple with how to get

The workplace has been graced
by diverse generations that have dif-
ferent characteristics. The millennial
generation as they are called, prefer
a relaxed working environment with
state-of-the-art technologies.
While technology in the work-
place is usually designed to serve
people and not people serving tech-
nology, to the millennial generation,
social networking is an indispens-
able concept in their lives.
This in Kenya is synonymous with
leading sites such as Facebook and
Twitter but the concept of social net-
working is wider than these two. So-
cial networking fuelled by robust In-
ternet and investments in ICT
infrastructure at the workplace is to-
day a thorny issue for employees and
employers alike.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Employers and employees have
witnessed radical changes to the
modern workplace as pioneered by
organisations which pride them-
selves in being the best workplaces
on earth to work in.
For instance, some organisations
have acquired comfortable and ad-
justable chairs so that their employ-
ees can take a nap when necessary,
as this improves performance on the
job. While proponents of banning
social media at the workplace will
have a longer list, before managers
arrive at a decision on this subject, it
is important to look for best practic-
es among similar companies across
the globe.

Drug abuse killing
many super careers
By PETER KAMURI
The loss of lives a few weeks ago due to
consumption of illicit brew should serve
as a reminder of how abuse of drugs and
alcohol can destroy families and careers.
World over, many super careers have
been terminated by drugs and alcohol
abuse. In less than a decade, the multi-mil-
lion-selling singer Whitney Houston died
mysteriously with claims that misuse of
drugs had brought her illustrious career to
an end. This is despite her having a pedi-
gree of a pop superstar.
The path followed by Houston is the
same pop star singer Michael Jackson had
trodden. His system is said to have had a
cocktail of drugs when he died the death
that brought to an end another memora-
ble career in music.
Most of the accidents that occur on our
roads are as a result of drink driving. In
these deaths, lives of people with high y-
ing careers are brought to an abrupt end.
Obviously, this has serious social and eco-
nomic ramications.
PREMATURE DEATHS
Experts warn that abuse of drugs and
alcohol can easily ruin ones career, not on-
ly by causing premature deaths but also by
affecting the way one performs his or her
duties. In the workplace, abuse of alcohol
and drugs is usually linked to a downward
spiral of ones career as they impair deci-
sions making. At times, you may do things
that you cant do when sober, says Janet
Opiyo, a psychiatrist.
Employees who frequently abuse alco-
hol and drugs often have poor quality work
and are unable to make the right decisions
or they do it slowly, says Opiyo.
Substance abuse has cut
short the careers of many
including that of Whitney
Houston and pop star singer
Michael Jackson
She adds: Poor performance of duties
has some consequences. Most of such
workers end up being dismissed as they re-
ceive poor ratings as they are unable to
meet the set targets. In addition, most of
the workers who turn to drugs and alcohol
easily ruin their careers as they become
perpetual latecomers and chronic absen-
teeism becomes the norm. In the end, they
perform poorly, she says.
MAJOR ACCIDENTS
Career experts warn that there are obvi-
ous risks associated with drugs and alcohol
abuse, At workplace, industrial and road
accidents may occur when workers abuse
this substances leading to loss of property
and life of dependable and highly skilled
workforce this way.
Some workers suffer from debilitating
diseases like stroke, liver and heart dam-
age, all related to misuse of alcohol and
drugs. Other problems are sleeping dif-
culties and concentration problems, says
Opiyo. To combat alcoholism in the work-
place, alcohol free programmes should be
initiated. Adequate training and support
for those with the problem should be pro-
vided.
Peer supporters can help. There should
also be a clear workplace drugs and alco-
hol policies with set limits and conse-
quences for employees who do not observe
them, advises Opiyo.

Raising the bar
to cultivate trust
in the workplace
Friday, May 23, 2014 / The Standard Page 62 / TODAY IN BUSINESS
By GOTTETI KIMANI
Trust is a vital ingredient of career
success. It means the degree of reli-
ability or condence on an individ-
ual. As the world becomes more of a
global village, it means that more in-
formation and other resources are at
the disposal of the average employ-
ee, and hence the need to be trust-
worthy.
In a recent meeting, Nicks boss
alluded that he was bypassed for a
recent promotion since he had
proved untrustworthy. Nick has since
spent endless hours thinking about
what he could have done wrong. As
It involves getting ac-
quainted with job re-
quirements and learning
from mistakes to create
positive impression
long as he can remember, he has not
lost or misplaced any company cash
or valuables. Nick has now discov-
ered trust is not just about money or
valuables.
It is about being a person other
people can count on, in the right
place at the right time. It is doing
what is required as and when called
upon, using the expected methods.
Its about having the right beliefs and
value system.
WORK AND RELATIONS
To raise the bar on your trust lev-
els, you must work on changing how
others perceive your work relations.
You must ensure that you are up to
the task with your job.
People who cannot deliver for
whatever reason are quickly labelled
as risky and untrustworthy. Get your-
self well acquainted with the job re-
quirements. Take extra courses if
necessary and learn from every mis-
take you make. This way, you will

about every slight discomfort. With
increasing competition, the modern
organisation is a pressure mill, and
anyone who cannot take pressure is
in the wrong place. Ensure you keep
guard on your mouth.
PERSONAL MATTERS
Whether you are dealing with
sensitive company information or a
colleagues personal matters, due dil-
igence must be observed.
People who cannot hold onto
sensitive information are quickly
dispatched to the dust bin of un-
trustworthiness. Adopt a seless at-
titude. Seless people are highly ac-
commodative and make great team
players. As such, they are also con-
sidered trustworthy and are greatly
valued at work. Volunteer to help
others where you can.
Seek for solutions to problems
and offer a shoulder to needy col-
leagues once in a while. Be a nan-
cially disciplined person and draw a
thick line between personal and
companys resources.
Live within your means but keep
your dreams alive. In doing so, you
will create fodder for your career to
prosper and make your dreams a re-
ality. Finally, seek to develop positive
self-control and restraint that en-
sures you can be trusted with your
own success.

Its a scenario that many manag-
ers dread, and perhaps with good
reason. It can end in tears, tempers
and, if you get it wrong, a costly em-
ployment tribunal. Sacking a mem-
ber of staff is never going to be pleas-
ant, but its a necessary part of the
job when youre a manager. So, what
is the right way to do it? Before it
even reaches that point, its neces-
sary for managers to address prob-
lems when they start to emerge.
HUMAN NATURE
They must resist the temptation
to do nothing, says Gerry Peyton, di-
rector of consultancy HRPlus, the HR
consultancy arm of Squire Sanders.
Generally speaking there are two
things that come into play, he ex-
plains. Good old human nature
means none of us look forward to
dealing with what we see as a dif-
cult situation.
I have a feeling this is based on
managers Ive spoken to over the
years they feel that the pendulum
has swung towards the employee
and its going to cause them great dif-
culty and legal challenges.
From the beginning, the manager
is going to look for reasons how they
can avoid confronting an employee.If
someone is frequently turning up to
work late or there are inaccuracies in
create the right impression, that of a
positive and objective learner who
can be trusted. Be a good timekeep-
er. Poor time keepers top the list of
untrustworthy people.
Time is any companys greatest
resource. If you cant be trusted to
keep time, the deal is already sour.
You should also ensure that you are
a person who keeps their promises.
And when you cant keep a promise,
ensure that your reasons are clear to
other people. You should also have
resilience. Some people are too weak
to handle any pressure and complain
Youre fired! How bosses should sack employees?
their work, for example, tackle the is-
sue early on. There is no point in
confronting an employee about
something that happened months
ago, says Peyton.
They should describe the prob-
lem to the employee and be as spe-
cic as possible in the detail, then ex-
plain the impact of their behaviour
and how it needs to change.
By talking specics it stops it be-
coming personal. Youve got to be
absolutely clear about what you ex-
pect from them, and clear about the
consequences. Generally a lot of em-
ployees wake up and do something
about it. The manager should be
dealing with the issue at this early
stage, rather than human resources,
says Peyton. Its easier for a manag-
er to say, Ive noticed in the last cou-
ple of days youve come in late, than
someone in human resources say-
ing, I hear youve been coming in
late. I dont think managers should
be on the phone to HR every time
they speak to an employee about
their performance.
However, if the problems persist,
theres a clear legal process that must
be followed. A meeting will be ar-
ranged, and the employee should be
told beforehand what it is about.
When breaking the news, be sensi-
tive about the timing, advises Bog-
dan Costea, an expert in perfor-
mance management at Lancaster
University Management School.
Leaving someone hanging over the
weekend is not the way to do it. I
think leaving people on a Friday with
that news is bad, says Costea.
Lara Morgan, founder of Pacic
Direct, cautions against letting the
meeting go on for too long. Keep it
short; it may seem painful but the
more the conversation about why
are you getting rid of me is dragged
out, the more it can get into deep wa-
ter. Its relatively cold but someone
doesnt get to dismissal because
theyre a shining light, theyve had all
the warnings by now.
SHED TEARS
If tempers are, the manager
must remain calm and refuse to be
drawn into a slanging match. It is
good management to make sure
tempers are kept civilised, says
Costea. Giving the person chance to
vent their anger can be a good thing,
says Peyton. Sometimes, its impor-
tant to let the employee express the
emotion, it could be difcult for
them to listen to anyone else until
they get it off their chest. Briggs ad-
vises telling staff why the person was
let go.
Keep the team informed. You
dont want them to think you are
slashing staff. Make sure they know
that person was let go for the benet
of the company and the team.

You might think the best thing
about a telephone interview is that,
like a radio presenter, you dont have
to worry about how you look.
You need to be as prepared and
well presented as you would be for a
face to face interview. Initial inter-
views by telephone are more com-
mon than they used to be. Dont al-
low yourself to be caught on the hop.
If youre not able to make some qui-
et time when they call then set a time
for the interview to take place.
You have to be a bit more or-
ganised about the telephone inter-
view because its on your home turf.
Make sure you wont be interrupted
and be sure to charge your phone in
advance. Keep a copy of your CV by
the phone and all the other relevant
information you might need.
Prepare and compose yourself in
advance. If you sound confused and
disorganised you might not get a sec-
ond chance. Have some information
from the prospective employer about
the role and company. Make sure
you sound enthusiastic, the sort of
person they want on the team.

ships. [PHOTO: JONAH

By JONATHAN KOMEN
Former world 1,500m silver medalist Si-
las Kiplagat is among notable absentees at
the Kenya Prisons Athletics Champion-
ships that kicks off at Safaricom Stadium
Kasarani today.
Kiplagat, an alumnus of Chebara Sec-
ondary School in Elgeyo Marakwet County,
will line up for Kenya at the inaugural IAAF
World Relay Championships in Nassau, Ba-
hamas, this weekend.
But he will put on the Prisons jersey at
the Athletics Kenya athletics trials for Com-
monwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, in
July and the Africa Senior Championships
set for Marrakech, Morocco.
The Kenya Prisons team is teeming with
globe-trotting stars and Kiplagats absence
will not water down the two-day competi-
tion.
Olympic 5,000m bronze medalist Thom-
as Longosiwa, who nished third at the sec-
ond leg of IAAF Diamond League meet in
Shanghai last Sunday, will light up 1,500m
and 5,000m shows.
The Eldoret-based Longosiwa said he
has recovered well from a career threaten-
ing hamstring injury he has been nursing
for long.
I am well and ready for the big battle. I
will decide on whether to double up 1,500m
and 5,000m for I fear of burning out early
in the season given the national champion-
ships is near, said Longosiwa.
STOP ANY AGGRESSION
Benjamin Njoga, who was the Moscow
Worlds team manager, said his charges
were ready to stop any aggression this sea-
son.
When want to set our destiny right
from our championships. We want to claim
a sizeable number of slots in the national
team to Commonwealth Games and Africa
Championships. The event will also serve
as an interactive platform for our ofcers,
said Njoga, the Acting Commissioner Gen-
eral Prisons.
Former world half marathon bronze
medalist John Mwangangi will lead the
mens 10,000m charges, lining up against
2007 world marathon champion Luke Kibet
and former world half marathon champion
Wilson Kiprop.
MISS ACTION
But Africa 5,000m bronze medalist Tim-
othy Kiptoo and 2006 Commonwealth
Games 1,500m sensation Jonathan Komen
need to be at their best to counter Longosi-
wa and new catch Charles Cheruiyot.
Fred Musyoki, seventh-placed at the Af-
rica cross-country and 2007 world mara-
thon champion Luke Kibet will battle in
10,000m.
Commonwealth Games 10,000m silver
medalist Joseph Birech will miss the action
as he is nursing injury.
Reuben Bett, third at the AK meet in
Mumias, is expected to blaze the trails in
800m with absence of Ferguson Rotich,
who is in World Relays team. Hosea Chero-
nyei and Hosea Chirchir will compete in
1,500m as Commonwealth Games sensa-
tion Vincent Kosgei will light up the 400m.
Commonwealth Games 400m runner
Maureen Chelagat will compete in 400m
at and 400m hurdles while Lydia Wafula
and Mirriam Chepkemoi will y the 800m
ag.
Upstarts Jane Mwikali and Jane Murage
will up against Susan Lekapana and Agnes
Katungei in womens 5,000m.
Cecilia Kiplagat will compete in Javelin
while Terra Langat and Regina Mulathia
lead the triple jump and long jump. Ever-
line Bosibori will compete in hammer.

By THE ALBATROSS
The Aussie, Adam Scott has taken
over as the World Number One golfer
without hitting a golf shot in the
week preceding his accession to the
throne..! He got to the top on 18th
May 2014, but had spent the last 38
weeks at the number two spot.
There have been 17 holders of the
prestigious and coveted position of
the World Number One golfer since
the creation of the rankings but the
position has changed hands 56 times
from the time Bernhard Langer be-
came the rst holder on April 6,
1986.
With the position changing hands
so many times, but only among a
small group of players, one quickly
surmises the elitist value of the posi-
tion. Sitting on that spot opens the
way to many representation and ad-
vertising contracts and places the
holder in that small select group.
Part of the package is also many ex-
emptions on the Tour. But as many
of the holders will testify: and in
common with many life situations, it
is much easier to get there than to
remain in the position.
Adam Scott becomes only the
second Australian to reach the spot.
His compatriot, Greg Norman, nick-
named The Great White Shark, was
the rst Australian to get there but
the second one to hold the position
for the longest time. He held the po-
sition for a total of 331 weeks.
The honour of holding the posi-
tion for the longest cumulative
stretch belongs to, perhaps, the
greatest golfer of all time, Tiger
Woods. He holds both the record of
being there for the longest stretch,
having been at the pinnacle
for a total of 683 weeks, in-
cluding the last 60, and also
that of the most number of
consecutive weeks. He was
number one for a consecu-
tive 281 weeks from June 12,
2005 to October 30, 2010.
Tiger Woods has been
steadily losing points, and
therefore slowly slipping
from the slot, since his
March 31 surgery to repair a
pinched nerve on the back.
The record for the shortest time
at the top belongs to Tom Lehman
who reigned for only one week.
Africa has had a fair representa-
tion at the pinnacle with Nick Price
of Zimbabwe, occupying the slot for
a total of 44 weeks and Ernie Else of
South Africa having been there for
Nine weeks.
But how is it possible for a player
to ascend to such a competitive posi-
tion without swinging a golf club?
It all rests with the complex cal-
culations used in arriving at the aver-
age number of points that determine
the rankings.
The week preceding that in which
Adam Scott rose to the top, there
were four other golfers who had a
chance to clinch the number
one position. The Masters
Champion, Bubba Watson, at
number ve in the Rankings,
needed to nish in second
place on his own, at The Play-
ers Championship, to jump
to the number one slot but he
ended up tied 48.
The World number four
Matt Kuchar needed an out-
right win to leapfrog to the
top position but he nished
tied for 17th. Henrik Stenson, the
third ranked, needed a top six nish
but ended up sharing the 34th posi-
tion.
These are the permutations that
pervaded the minds of the pundits
as they waited for Adam Scott to sail
to the top without swinging a club
after the Byron Nelson Champion-
ship.
This scenario, it will be appreci-
ated, results from the prolonged lay
off of the owner of the position, Ti-
ger Woods. Woods has held the num-
ber one slot for more than half of its
24 year history. He might still recap-
ture it as he has indicated a summer
return; although there is no precise
date.
The calculation of the points for
each player takes this pattern.
The World Ranking Points are ac-
cumulated over a two year rolling
period, with the points awarded for
each event maintained over a thir-
teen week period to give emphasis
on recent performance. The oldest
event is therefore dropped out of the
computation each week.
Ranking points are reduced in
equal decrements for the remaining
91 weeks of the two-year ranking pe-
riod. Each player is then ranked ac-
cording to his average points per
tournament, which is determined by
dividing the total number of points
earned by the tournaments played
over that two-year period. Each tour-
nament is allocated points on the
basis of the importance attached to
it and the strength of the eld.

OFFICIAL WORLD GOLF RANKINGS
AS AT MAY 18, 2014
By PHILIP ORWA
Standard Group County Classic
Golf Series tees-off at the Kakamega
Golf Club tomorrow with over 90
golfers in action.
Golfers from clubs including
Nandi Bears, Kisii, Kisumu, Kitale,
Eldoret, Mumias, Njoro and Tororo
in Uganda will contend for top hon-
ours.
The Kakamega Golf Club Captain
Julius Oketch said the course is in
good shape and preparations are
complete for the tournament.
The course is in great shape, the
rains pounding the region have made
the greens good, they are holding
and the fairway is neatly manicured,
said Oketch.
We expect golfers from Mumias,
Nyanza, Kitale, Eldoret, Njoro, Toro-
ro in Uganda, Kisii, and Nandi Bears,
the Captain added.
Oketch told FeverPitch that local
players to watch are handicap 16
Charles Omega, handicap 28 Hol-
land Isavwa, who has been on a spar-
kling form of late and home-based
veteran Hesbon Litali.
AMATEUR GOLFERS
Junior golfers will also take part
in the competition led by their Cap-
tain Alvin Misango, he added.
Other golfers to watch include
Eliud Siganga, David Achillah from
Mumias, one of Kenyas top amateur
golfers Alfred Nandwa, and single
handicap golfer Karim from Tororo.
There will be lots of fun on the
course, we will be having nyama
choma, drinks and enriching melo-
dies to be provided by local band
during the proceedings, the Captain
added.
Oketch thanked the Standard
Group for sponsoring the event for
the second time in Kakamega, a ges-
ture he termed kind and encourag-
ing. The inaugural edition took place
last year.
Sponsoring the tournament of
this kind hold a vital mark in market
place because golf sponsorship has
proved to be effective in building
brand awareness, offering differenti-
ated marketing platforms, facilitat-
ing direct business benets and pro-
viding valuable networking and
hospitality opportunities, he said.

Mt Kenya Extreme Sports Challenge set for June 28
By JOEL ODIDI
Preparations for this years Mount Ke-
nya Extreme Sports Challenge to be held
on June 28 and 29 at the Kenya School of
Adventure and Leadership (Kesal) have
hit fever pitch.
While launching this years event at
Kesal Base Camp in Mt Kenya on Mon-
day, Kesal Director John Mwangi reiter-
ated the institutions commitment to in-
stilling leadership skills in the youth and
conserving the environment.
Sports is a strong tool that can be
used to sensitise people on the need to
conserve the environment. It is for this
reason that we at Kesal came up with the
concept of extreme sports in 2011 and
since then, we have never looked back,
said Mwangi.
Apart from taking part in sports ac-
tivities, we will use this years event to
promote adventure tourism, he added.
Meru County Commissioner Chege
Mwangi who represented Interior Prin-
cipal Secretary Mutea Iringo, who was
the chief guest at the event, commend-
ed Kesals role in imparting leadership
through youth programmes.
Challenges of environmental degra-
dation and falling water levels in many
rivers have continued to cause a lot of
challenges and I wish to commend Kesal
for their commitment to conserving Mt
Kenya through their extreme sport ini-
tiative, said Mwangi.
CONSERVE ENVIRONMENT
Proceeds from the event in its third
edition this year, will be used to conserve
the environment by planting more trees
in Mount Kenya and installing energy
saving jikos in households, which de-
pend on the mountain for rewood as a
source of fuel.
During the event organised by Kesal,
Kenya Wildlife Service and Kenya For-
est Service, participants will take part in
outdoor adventure and extreme sporting
activities, including extreme adventure
and bush race.
Extreme adventure will involve teams
of ve people going through a series of
outdoor adventure requiring stamina,
agility, endurance, cognitive ability and
team work.
Such activities include navigation us-
ing map and compass, rock climbing and
treasure hunt in the Mt Kenya jungle.
The 5km Kesal bush race will involve
teams going through check points and
challenges to cross on the route as a
team. During the race that requires team
working abilities, speed, fast thinking,
courage and tness, members of each
team will be required to remain togeth-
er.
According to organisers, each team
will be required to pay registration fees
of Sh10,000 with corporate teams to be
accommodated at Kesal Corporate Vil-
lage paying Sh100,000.

Kingi tips
Kenya to win
more medals
in Botswana
By ERICK OCHIENG
Kili County Governor Ama-
son Jeffah Kingi has tipped Team
Kenya to win gold and Olympic
qualications at the second Af-
rica Youth Games in Gaborone,
Botswana between May 22 and
31.
Kingi believes the country
will return with more gold med-
als and take many athletes to
the Youth Olympics in Nanjing,
China, this August, owing to the
many disciplines that Kenya
will take part in the Gaborone
games.
In the inaugural edition in
2010 in Rabat, Morocco, we did
not have participants in some
disciplines which have been
lled now with very strong con-
testants, noted the Governor.
Kingi, who paid Team Kenya
a courtesy call at their YMCA
hostel in South C in Nairobi on
Wednesday, has challenged his
counterparts to support the
sports industry.
The sporting industry has
potential of taking the coun-
trys economy to great heights
of prosperity, said Kingi, who
is a member of a karate club in
Watamu.
SUPPORT TEAMS
Politicians should not only
be available to celebrate med-
als won by national teams but
should support the teams dur-
ing training.
The Governor gave uniforms,
mouth guards and medical kit to
the Kili Taekwondo Club that
forms the bulk of the national
youth taekwondo team.
Kingi also paid for a return
air ticket worth Sh100,000 to
one of the taekwondo ofcials
handling the national team.
The teams y out this morn-
ing for the Botswana games.
The Taekwondo national
team has three boys, Timothy
Masha, Elvis Chengo (both of
Kili Taekwondo Club) and Ev-
ans Oloo (Mathare North) and
three girls, Rehema Furaha, Ja-
mila Mbaru (both of Kili) and
Ruth Atieno (Nairobis Cobras
Club).
Head coach Silas Peter
Wesonga said: Kenya should
expect three gold medals from
the Taekwondo team, said
Wesonga, who is also the Kenya
Defence Forces head coach.

The king of the 800m is undisputed.
Olympic Champion David Rudisha will
be aiming to end pretensions of mere mor-
tals to his throne when he steps on the tracks
at the Prefontaine Classic, Eugene, USA, on
May 31.
I know my return has been talked about
by many people. To be sincere, I am also
excited, I do not know what to expect, but
I have one mission: To return to where I left
a year ago, also in Eugene, Rudisha told Fe-
verPitch from Eldoret.
On three occasions, Rudisha has reduced
his own world 800m record to rubble. All
those who questioned his preparedness at
the 2012 London Olympics had their answer
when he set a new world record of 1:40.91.
Many are in doubt if I will be able to get
back to that level. I have no need to answer
them now. But I will, soon. My legs will do
the talking and believe me, when I step out
in Eugene, there will be no doubts about my
intent. I want to win, to run again in a com-
petition, to enjoy myself, he said.
The training has gone on well, but there
is a lot difference between training and run-
ning in a competitive race.
I have always started my season with
fast time. At Prefontaine Classic, my target
the Olympics title in
London.
The 25-year-old
missed most of 2013
with a knee injury, di-
agnosed just a day be-
fore he was scheduled to
run last years Prefontaine
Classic.
The most important thing
is for me to return on the track.
It is exciting to watch the race
but I had to listen to my body
and that is why I was cautious, he
said.
Getting back to compe-
tition level is crucial. It is
a hurdle I have worked
hard to beat. But I
want to see how
I will feel
when I
run
agai nst
compet i -
tion because
all through, the
body has responded
well in training, said Rud-
isha.
Rudishas inclination to fast pac-
es, along with a eld that includes four of
the nine fastest men in history, the mens
800m is one of the years most anticipated
events.
You wouldnt ask for anything easier.
That is why I train hard. The moment you
relax, somebody takes over. I want to get
back and run fast and the 1.43 time is a
fair demand on my body in Eugene, said
Rudisha.
In Rudishas absence, Mohamed Aman
of Ethiopia took advantage, winning the
world title in Moscow and his second
IAAF Diamond Trophy.
Aman, 20, is also the only man to ever
beat Rudisha since 2010, and he has done
it twice, although Rudisha owns the ca-
reer head-to-head edge, 5-2.
Aman, who won in Eugene last year,
successfully defended his 800m title
earlier in 2014 at the IAAF World Indoor
Championships. This will be Amans rst
race against Rudisha since May 2013.
Botswanas Nijel Amos, also 20, was
closest to Rudisha at the London Olym-
pics, taking silver. His 1:41.73 in that
race not only shattered the world junior
record, it also made him the fth runner
ever to break 1:42. That was the only ca-
reer meeting between the two.
cmusumba @standardmedia.co.ke
remains the same. Expect a 1:43 time. It is
what I got in Australia and in Doha in the
last two years. I do not expect anything
slower, Rudisha added.
Rudisha had dominated the world
since he won gold at the 2006 IAAF World
Junior Championships in Beijing. He has
set three world records, including the cur-
rent mark of 1:40.91, set when winning
Rudisha is excited
on return, targets
fast time in Eugene

MONTEVIDEO
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez
is set to undergo surgery on an
injured knee Thursday just 21
days before the start of the
World Cup, Uruguayan reports
said.
Liverpools Premier League
Player of the Year injured his
knee in training on Wednesday
giving his side a major World
Cup scare, the report said.
The Uruguayan team and
federation made no immedi-
ate comment.
Suarez, top scorer in the
English league this season
with 31 goals, felt pain in
training and an MRI scan de-
tected a meniscus problem, a
leading television reporter
Martin Charquero posted on
Twitter.
Charquero said that Suar-
ezs brother Paolo Suarez had
conrmed the injury to him.
Despite the proximity of
the World Cup in Brazil, the re-
ports said there is still hope
the 27-year-old could play a
role in the tournament.
Uruguays hopes will de-
pend on the severity of the
damage found by surgery.
RECOVERY TIME
Experts said it normally
takes four to six weeks to re-
cover from the operation.
Suarez only arrived in the
Uruguayan capital on Tuesday,
but insisted he was anxious to
start training with his team-
mates.
He enjoyed a stunning
comeback in the 2013/14 Pre-
mier League campaign after
his reputation plummeted for
racially abusing Manchester
Uniteds Patrice Evra and then
biting Chelseas Branislav
Ivanovic.
His brilliant sharp-shoot-
ing inspired Liverpool into
second behind champions
Manchester City.
Uruguay are drawn in
Group D in the rst round of
the World Cup. They face Cos-
ta Rica on June 14, followed by
England on June 19, and Italy
ve days later.
Uruguay have two World
Cup warm-ups scheduled,
against the Republic of Ireland
on May 30 and Slovenia on
June 4, both games to be held
in Montevideo.
KEEP FOCUS
Earlier, Suarez had urged
his Uruguayan teammates to
learn from the fallout of Liver-
pools season with the World
Cup looming. Suarez said Liv-
erpools title run was wrecked
because it lacked concentra-
tion in a late season 2-0 loss
at home to Chelsea.
He wanted to make sure
that his international col-
leagues dont get caught look-
ing too far ahead, when Uru-
guay starts the World Cup on
June 14 against Costa Rica.
Uruguays greatest moment
of football glory came in 1950
when it beat host Brazil 2-1 in
the World Cup nal at Rio de
Janeiros Maracana Stadium
for its second world title. Uru-
guay returned to the semi-
nals in 2010.
My focus is on the World
Cup now, Suarez said. Every-
one remembers the last World
Cup we won in Brazil. But that
is the past. I dont know if it
was a miracle, in football you
never know what will happen.
Our group is one of the most
difcult. We will go forward
thinking in each game as
it comes.
Suarez was voted
the player of the year
in England by the
players association.
He scored a league-
leading 31 goals for Liv-
erpool. Agencies

CAUTIOUS: Mexico ban
beef to avoid dope risk
Mexicos World Cup squad
will not eat beef during
their preparations for the
Brazil tournament for fear
of testing positive to banned
drugs in contaminated meat,
coach Miguel Herrera said
on Wednesday. Five players
were withdrawn from Mexicos
CONCACAF Gold Cup squad in
the United States in 2011 after
testing positive for clenbuterol,
a banned stimulant illicitly
mixed into livestock feed to
make meat leaner. The ve
were later absolved after Fifa
considered the presence of
clenbuterol in Mexican cattle a
public health problem.
RIO DE JANEIRO
As team-mates they
brought home the 1994 World
Cup for Brazil, but as politi-
cians Romario and Bebeto
have become bitter rivals over
the hosting of this years tour-
nament.
Romario de Souza Faria
better known as simply Roma-
rio was the wild child of the
pair, known for all-night par-
ties and a hot temper.

de Janeiro, the 48-year-old Ro-

Luiz Suarez knee operation
dampens World Cup hopes
mario has turned that explo-
sive personality against the
World Cup, backing the pro-
testers who say the $11 bil-
lion-plus budget would have
been better spent on educa-
tion, health and transport.
Fifa, footballs world gov-
erning body, have been the
target of some of his ercest
criticism. In March he called
their secretary general Jerome
Valcke a blackmailer and
their president Sepp Blatter a
corrupt thief and son of a
whore.
Last year, when violent
protests overshadowed the
Confederations Cup, a re-
hearsal for the World Cup, Ro-
mario voiced sympathy for the
movement and accused Fifa of
setting up a circus, not spend-
ing a cent and then pocketing
everything.
He has also criticised Bra-
zils chronically delayed prep-
arations, saying the country
will not be 100-percent ready
for the World Cup when it
starts on June 12.
Bebeto real name Jose
Roberto Gama de Oliveira is
now a Rio state legislator,
ghting in the opposite cor-
ner. The sweet-smiled evan-
gelical Christian is known for
his visits to schools and social
programmes but also for his
love of luxury cars and design-
er clothes. An ambassador for
the World Cup in Brazil, he has
shrugged off criticism of the
event.
We have struggled hard to
get where we are. And where
we are is the result of the
struggle and efforts of all Bra-
zilians, the 50-year-old said
in December.
Their shared story began in
the late 1980s, two young for-
wards in a team that became
national heroes as they went
unbeaten for 27 matches.
Their rst taste of defeat
came at the 1990 World Cup,
when arch-rivals Argentina
sent them packing in the
round of 16. They made up for
it four years later when, at
their peak as players, they won
Brazils fourth World Cup.
Romario scored ve times
in the tournament. He was
awarded the World Cup Gold-
en Ball and named Fifa World
Player of the Year. Bebeto
scored three World Cup goals.
I love you! he shouted to
Romario, who provided the as-
sist. AFP

Harambee Stars quest to
beat Comoros and advance
to the rst round of the Afri-
ca Cup of Nations got a huge
boost from Fly540, who have
donated 15 tickets worth
Sh658,500 to the capital of
the Indian Ocean nation.
Besides, Fly540 will have
to schedule a special ight
on Wednesday because the
match will be played on Fri-
day, May 30.
The budget airline ies
to Comoros on Fridays and
Sundays.
We are really honoured
to serve Harambee Stars. We
are fully behind the team.
It is for this reason we are
ready to schedule a ight
for this important match in
Comoros, Fly540 Opera-
tions Director Nixon Ooko
said during a cocktail party
hosted for Tours and Travel
agencies in Nairobi.
Harambee Stars carry a
1-0 lead over Comoros and
will look to nish the job in
Moroni.
Football Kenya Federa-
tion President Sam Nyam-
weya described Fly540s ges-
ture as morale-boosting.
Harambee Stars is the
pride of Kenya. And when
corporates like Fly540 steps
forward to partner with the
team, the players feel appre-
ciated.
As a federation we are
happy with the donation and
hope it is only the beginning
of our partnership, Nyam-
weya said.
The handing over cer-
emony of the tickets will be
done two days prior to de-
parture.

GOtv rst
round matches
scheduled for
May 30 - June 1
By GILBERT WANDERA
The rst round of GOtv
Shield tournament will be
held on May 30 and June 1.
Ten teams were awarded a
bye into rst round of whose
winner pockets Sh2million.
These include Zoo Kericho,
Finlays, Ulinzi Stars, Ulinzi
Warriors, Inter City, Shabana,
Administration Police, Nai-
robi Stima, Muhoroni Youth
and Wazito from Nairobi.
According to the draw
conducted yesterday, Kenyan
Premier League (KPL) sides
Chemelil Sugar and Thika
United will contend in one of
the rst round matches.
Tusker and Western Stima
will meet while Sony Sugar
slug it out with Nakuru Top
Fry. Sofapaka will tackle Vib-
wanga from Mombasa.
Title holders AFC Leop-
ards and last years nalists
Gor Mahia have all been giv-
en a bye to the last round.
Speaking during the draw,
GOtv Kenya General Manag-
er Felix Kyengo said: We are
proud to be sponsors of the
second edition of this tourna-
ment. We want to bring even
more value to local football.
Football Kenya Federation
vice chairman Robert Asem-
bo expressing his apprecia-
tion said GOtv sponsorship
has increased the number of
participating teams. On a sad
note, FKF Nyanza West Sec-
retary James Aggrey Omondi

The millers continued
to run circles against

Wafula, combining well
with dimunitive teammate

COUNTER-ATTACKS
Chemelil dominated
most of the rst-half with
occasional ferocious coun-

After the break, lady luck
smiled Gors way as a heavy
downpour turned the pitch
water-logged with Rama
notching the all-important

latching on a superb cross
from teammate Eric

prove personal best, decided
to go alone leaving Nyan-
chiongora trailing 20m be-
hind with seven laps remain-
ing. Nyanchiogora upped the
pace at the bell to cross the
line, smashing the previous
time of 30:37.03 set in Kigari

LAKE REGION WINS GOLD
Huge pay
cheque
for relay
winners
By GILBERT KOECH and IAAF
World Relay Champion-
ships team will have a reason to
smile as International Associa-
tion of Athletics Federations
(IAAF) conrmed a hefty prize
purse worth Sh11 million is up
for grabs.
IAAF says the inaugural
event deserves a high status
setting the trend for the com-
ing events. The carribean chal-
lenge brings together over 600
world best sprints and middle
distance athletes on board in
an event that will act as a qual-
ier for coming World Champi-
onships and Rio 2016 Olympic
Games.
The prizes monies will be
awarded to all top eight ath-
letes with winners in both men
and women races taking home
Sh4m, runners-up bagging
Sh2.7m and third place getting
Sh1.6m.
Fourth nishers will rake in
Sh960,000, fth place
Sh800,000, sixth place
Sh640,000 with seventh and
eight placed bagging Sh480,000
and Sh320,000 respectively.
The icing on the cake goes
to any quartet who will break
any world record as they will
get (Sh4 million), the amount
that will also go to the winners.
The payment of prize monies
will be dependent on athletes
passing the mandatory dope
tests.
The IAAF announcement
comes barely two days after Sa-
faricom promised to award
Sh1million for gold, Sh600,000
for silver and Sh400,000 for
bronze.
The Kenyan team is led by
sprinter Mark Mutai.

egory where nalists were

Luck smiled to Kigari
Teachers College and Eregi as
they chose the right side of
the coin to set a nal date.
Kigari and Muranga semi-
nal match ended in a barren
draw and so was the second
match pitting Thogoto
against Eregi.
In mens rugby semis, Igoji
beat Baringo 17-0 while Mig-
ori edged out Kitui 7-0 to ad-
vance to the nal. The Cham-
pionships also featured

PULSE VIBE
S
ome few
years ago, I
took a road
trip to the
Coast with a
promoter who had a
performance deal with the
king of bling, CMB Prezzo.
It was the rst time I
experienced a celebrity
entourage; eight classy
rides with beefed-up
security, groupies and all
the attendant pizazz.
Upon getting to
Mombasa the next day,
Prezzo declined to show
up on stage. He had
tabled a long list of
demands on how his
back-up artistes, dancers
and groupies had not been taken care of saying all that
had been captured in his rider!
Rider, the promoter quipped awkwardly.
Yes, my demands!
Now, whatever happened after that wasnt so
beautiful But that was then!
World over, celebs are known to table their
demands to event promoters wherever they are
signing a contract for a show. Some of those demands
are usually ridiculous and they indeed conrm the diva
tendencies we always suspected about them.
For example, how does Kanye West ask one to
provide a barber chair during his concert and Mariah
Carey demand owers, ramen and brand new toilet
seats? And...you think that is even outrageous!
Sparked by Diamonds new diva demands in his
rider that requires, among other things, a promoter to
provide particular foods and water brands and DNG
who now says you have to avail a private toilet during
his show, Pulse goes ahead to investigate the new
trend in the local entertainment industry. Gear up for
the intriguing piece that makes our Cover story.
We also expose some of our celebrities oops daft

Justin Bieber and
Paris Hilton
"happened"?
Probably you missed this one too but early
this week, there was this hot rumour that
Justin Bieber and Paris Hilton had some-
thing going on during the Cannes Sunday in
France. Well, so did it go down?
Here is the latest update: Justin Bieber
and Paris Hilton are not banging ... In fact,
she couldnt stand to spend more than a
half-hour with him because he wouldnt stop
playing his own songs, that according to
TMZ.
The truth is, Paris and Justin partied in
Cannes Sunday night at Gotha Nightclub.
There are reports that the two got cozy ...
with the 33-year-old climbing into Justins
20-year-old lap ... then leaving for his house.
But heres the deal. TMZ writes that 50
people went back to Justins house Paris
was never alone with him. And something
else they conrm ... she said the party was
lame and couldnt stand the fact that Justin
was playing his own songs ... so she left
after half an hour. So were guessing
Boyfriend didnt go over so well.

VIDEO review
Song: Lonely at the top
Artistes: Nonini featuring Chris
Adwar
Rating: 7/10
S
howbiz bigwigs Nonini
and Chris Adwar
recently released the
video to their latest col-
labo Lonely at the Top,
a song widely seen as a move by the
two artistes to stamp their authority,
as still the best in the local entertain-
ment industry.
The clip is ashy; it starts with a
close up shots of an expansive man-
sion then followed up with slow mo-
tion scenes, which put its audience
into an anticipatory mood.
The video tempo then quickly
picks so do the images in the video
with the Nonini rapping and Chris
Adwar vocals blending in well in the
entire clip.
The transition in the video is
smooth. Another interesting feature
is the effective use of lights and the
special effects, which make it easy
on the eye.
The video is well edited however
scenes of ladies rocked in veil seem
misplaced.

state of the art service counter.
In keeping with the theme of the clubs
name, the club is symbolised by the cur-
rency signs all over, like US dollars, sterling
pounds, and Japanese yen among others.
The club attracts mature clients with a
passion to have fun and local and foreign
beers are all stocked as well as various
brands of brandy and whisky. However,
some funny characters who sometimes
show up at the venue just lowers the class.
The local beers go for Sh300 and
imported Sh350.
There is a bucket offer of six-pack that
goes for Sh1, 500. A notable feature of
this club is the sexy dancers on the pole
to make you just relax and enjoy the drinks
and the show as your evening unwinds.
This pole show has however not been
taken well by some who think of it as
cheap. Besides, the waitresses are hot in
black hot pants and white blouses; always
smiling as they take your orders.

BIEN AIME
Pulse: Who has the hottest body?
Bien Aime: Me, of course; abs rock and I
have long slim ngers that can do a lot more.
P: What kind of a woman would you set
up W-DJ with?
B: A tiny slim chic so that she wouldnt go
back to him after she sees his size and he will
be single forever.
P: If he wasnt a DJ he what would he be?
B: A sumo ghter or Yokozuna.
P: What would he say or do to vibe a hot
chic?
B: Hi, can you please date me I look
like Bien Aime.
P: If you could change any part of his
body what would it be?
B: I would advocate for him to be taller
Battle of
the abs
Sauti Sols Bien Aime red the rst salvo when
they hit the gym and ripped their abs then
decided to record and release the Nishike,
shirtless and then W-DJ, too, decided to
release a more realistic parody. Today ESTHER
MUCHENE seeks to settle this abs matter once
and for all
VERDICT
Bien Aime may have made the girls
go gaga ogling his chiselled torso
but on this, other than the cab-
bage diss, W-DJ gives the heavier
(pardon the pun) punch lines.
considering he lacks any wow factor.
P: If he were a vegetable, what would he
be?
B: Cabbage. Its full of water and no nutri-
tional value.
P: If you could send him to any part of the
world where would you take him?
B: To South Africa, the land of Gods Must
Be Crazy where the Khoikhoi and the San
live because he is crazy enough to do such a
parody.
P: Who did the best Nishike rendition
between the two of you?
B: Different people look for different things.
If you want to laugh you will watch that one
but if you want the real sexy thing, ours is the
best.
P: Mchongoano time...
B: Yeye ni mnono hana laini huku nyuma,
akikaa chini anaroll kama pot. (He is so fat that
he does not have a butt-crack, when he sits
down he rolls over like a pot).
W DJAY
Pulse: Who has the hottest body?
W-DJ: I do because unlike him who had to
oil himself to shine I have enough fat in me for
my body to shine naturally. Its very expensive
to maintain a one pack and curves. It took me
a lifetime eating to achieve unlike him he hit
gym ya mawe (homemade stone gym) for only
three months.
P: What kind of a woman would you set up
Bien with?
WD: A mukorino adherent so that they start
a musical family; no need to hire dancers and
band members.
P: If he werent an artiste what would he
be?
WD: A Nairobi bus driver or conductor. He
would scare everyone into paying.
P: What would he say or do to vibe a hot
chic?
WD: Does he know how? He looks like
the guy of subscribing to dating sites posting
shirtless pictures.
P: If you could change any part of his
body what would it be?
WD: His head should be super big con-
sidering hes the head of Sauti Sol.
P: If he was a vegetable he would be a?
WD: A beetroot. Kuparara nayo! But if you
oil it, it will look somewhat attractive.
P: If you could send him to any part of
the world where would you take him?
WD: Back home in Sudan. Isnt he a
Sudanese?
P: Who did the best Nishike rendition
between the two of you?
WD: Isnt that obvious? Mine was better
quality, rib cracking and very original. Forget
about hitting the gym and hit the fridge.
P: Mchongoano time...
WD: Kwenyu nyinyi ni wengi mpaka
inabidi utoke out ukitaka kuchange mind.
(They are so many in their family, one needs
to get outside the house in order to change
his mind).

SPOTLIGHT
Pulse: Congrats! We hear you have joined
Mount Kenya University (MKU) for a degree
course
Moustapha: (Laughs) News spreads fast,
where did you get this one from?
P: We are aware that you visited Mount
Kenya University, Thika, two weeks ago and it
had something to do with you furthering your
studies. Can you conrm?
M: It is true I was at the campus. The
student board had invited me for a surprise
birthday treat and it was during the visit that
the whole degree story started. I have always
wanted to go back to school and enhance
my skills; both for my music career and also
personal development. When the idea of tak-
ing up a business course was tabled, I found
a lot of sense pursuing such a course and it
is true I will be joining MKU in a few weeks. I
have already collected the application papers
and I am determined to take up my studies
from where I left.
P: It has been a long timeaway from
school, I mean people even said you are
illiterate and cant even construct an English
sentence
M: (Laughs) I did my formal studies a long
time ago but stopped after I took up a music
career. Back then, many artistes, just like me,
never took school seriously, but things have
changed. Music and entertainment is big busi-
ness now and one needs a lot of skills and
knowledge to handle music from a business
point of view. That is why I have been thinking
of going back to school.
P: What exactly do you want to go study?
M: Business Management. Like I said,
some things like music business can only be
achieved when one has good education. Even
Ken wa Maria is now in school.
P: So, exactly why do you think people
claim that you have never entered a class-
room?
M: As artistes, we live in a very judgmen-
tal atmosphere and that informs why critics
created such a rumour. Back then, the writer
who came up with the story had beef with my,
then, fellow, Deux Vultures singer Thomas.
But that was then.
P: Does the new move have anything to
do with the stress you have been experienc-
ing since you left Ogopa Deejays where your
contract was terminated?
M: Not really. It is purely a conscious deci-
sion. It is something I have been thinking over
and over for years. Meanwhile, something
that no one knows is the fact that I am still in
good terms with Ogopa and I am not stressed
at all. After our contracts were terminated,
Lucas (one of the Ogopa Deejays directors)
called me back and we agreed that the stable
would complete my unnished songs, so I am
still there. We are recording the Loboko video,
which should be out very soon.
P: Loboko? Is that the song you were
rumoured to be doing with Huddah some
months ago?
M: Right! Things hit a snag after Huddah
bolted out. She threatened to sue Ogopa and
I if we used her voice and lyrics in the song
that we had been working on for weeks. That
was sic!
P: Lets go slowly; rst it was a romantic
affair with Huddah, then now a music deal
Are we missing a point here?
MOUSTAPHA
TO CAMPUS
M: The truth is that Huddah and I met at Ogopa
Deejays and that is how our friendship began.
Besides other things, we agreed to do a collabo
and talked to the producer who thought it was a
good idea so we hit the booth together to record
Loboko. After a while, she changed her mind. The
song had already been mastered and we were al-
ready out there recording the video. Her move was
a major setback...a blow to me.
P: Exactly why did she bolt out... a girl
jilted?
M: One thing you have to know about
Huddah is that she can be so moody.
On this day, I met a fan at Tribeka and
after possing for pictures with her,
Ghetto Radio posted them trying
to allege that I was now going out
with another woman as opposed
to Huddah. She got mad with me
and that was the beginning of
our fall out. Everything between
Huddah and I stalled.
P: Can she sing in the rst
place, I mean, how do you rate
her singing? Wasnt this just for
the media noise?
M: Honestly, this was not a
prank. We were serious. The girl,
given time, can sing.
P: So would you call Marya
to ll in the vocals of Loboko
now that Huddah has leftyou
know what I mean?
M: I will give that question
a miss. But a lot is happening
in my life now and I am al-
most getting into a comfort-
able place. Time will tell.
Together with socialite Huddah, bad boy
Moustapha recorded a new song at Ogopa

Pulse Ed Stevoski swore that hed
get all us May born celebz thrown
a Skylux Bash end month by waki-
na Amor Thige (notice how cleverly I
get the Thamba beholden to the Smitten via
publik reminder, lol).
Anyways, as time tides by, the one thing
you begin checking out is shizzle like the
muzik videos, just to see whos still hot n
who the young bucklings are riding the air
waves, like Yolo.
So twas kinda cool to look at onea the
yut progs the other day, and see so many of
the real artistes still goin so strong on tha
Top Ten, a lesson I think that all can learn
about quality.
Sauti Sol have been around for quite
a while, just like Just A Band, but Bien n
the boys sure know how to push boundar-
ies n always re-invent themselves. I mean,
just look at the buzz that Nishike by dem
has been creating, for example. There is
the envelope dat timid souls like to limit
demselves to n call it porn n all dat, but
if all tee-vee lived life like that, wed still
be watching Momonyoko wa Udongo as
prime tyme entertainment.
Artistes can either change the world by
pushing the boundaries, or they can wait for
the world to change then start fukuzaing the
demarcations of the new artistic countries.
Sauti Sol are the change we want.
Eric Wainaina is a pioneer, considering
he waz dening muzik 20 years ago with
Five Alive, when a large segment of Pulsers
were comin into this world. I recall being
star struck by the dude in the mid-90s at
the Hard Rock cafe dat waz at Barclays
Plaza in concert. Late 90s he waz calling out
corruption in the song Nchi ya Kitu Kidogo,
a wimbo I blasted in me rst ever popular
paper artikle (watt waz I thinkin, heh heh).
Anyway, yu see Erics video Selina and
the owing artistry and melody n simplic-
ity n sheer damn artistry just tells you that
Wainaina is a treasure ... like Selina Nyam-
box in the video (remember wat I told ya a
few weeks ago? Never put ma-Kwambox
in the Pro-Box of yur boxers, those mogusii
Kwamz are trabo, oo).
Lets take a VOODOO interval, n lez just

The Long Lasting

listened to his wimbo High Volume, turned

is delish).
STL is like our Lupita, lakini yule wa

U$D ve grand to star in some show coz for
sure, the lady is worth at least a milli if yu
gonna take her month in tyme on tee-vee,

like Koolio and her ow rockin the top ten

Nameless is the last of the mod greats
I wanna pay tribute to. My old pal from

African Queens (wazzup Wahu?) n singing
wunderful songs about the Ngangas who
ngangana on the streets with mkokos,

WITH GACHERI
BIG BUM ESTEEM
W
ere it not for her big bum
she would have t perfectly
into those jeans. Felicity
tells us in the changing
rooms. The salesgirl at Mr
Price strains to keep her face straight but she
is having the same thought we all are. The
jeans were three good sizes too small. But
then again everything she wears is always
too small. To be quite honest we had all heard
enough about Felicitys big bum.
Yesterday at Dormans we had to sit in the
couches because the chairs were too small.
It was all good for us atties but when
you have a big derriere you need enough
cushioning. We barely noticed the jibe
because we are inured to it. Every time we go
to Artcaffe we, for the very same reason, sit in
the twine chairs.
Sure they rip my dresses but what is a
tear or two in the face of big bum comfort.
Of course nobody comments on the fact that
more than her bum lls the seat.
The other day she gave us a lecture on the
merits of having Kim Kardashian and Vera
Sidika as sex symbols. It was just so hard
to be a girl with a big bum because nobody
seemed to appreciate it. But thank God Kim K
came around and now she and her kind have
achieved sex symbol status.
Ingrid makes a jab at how given her bum
she must have them lining up round the block.
It is a mean one, luckily Felicity misses it. She
launches into a full expose on the big-bum
burden.
Having a big bum is like being too pretty,
she says as Ingrid and I hold each others
gaze and have a shared thought process.
It is why so many models are single
because the guy knows you will always have
options so he has to come correct, she
prattles on and I tune her out. She will be on
this for the next ve minutes. Ingrid is not ever
going to say it out loud because coming from
her blond blue-eyed perfect weight it would
easily be tagged racism but on this front we
have a mutual understanding. Of course I am
not going to say it either because one simply
does not say such things out loud. But in our
shared gaze we are in perfect understanding.
Kim Kardashian has a big bum, Vera Sidika
has a big bum; Felicity is fat.

Wangechi's
Pulse : How did you manage to get on
one record, Tulia Tu, with South Africas HHP,
Africas Nas? That was huge.
Wangechi: Basically we (Rabbit and
I) met up during the Coke Studio Africa
recording in Nairobi. There was an instant
connection and we started laying bars. Next
thing you know, we are shooting the video in
less than a week.
P: Ligi Soo was a huge track as well, but
you and the rest of the girls who made the
song a success sort of went under the radar
after that. Do you think female rappers in the
country have what it takes?
W: Ligi Soo brought us all to the lime-
light, there is no doubt about that. We
became close after the songs release as we
used to do interviews together. Soon after
we went our separate ways as each one of
us had their own separate projects. As for
me, I was signed under Kevin Provokes
label. Female rappers in the country, I think,
have a really great opportunity since it is an
untapped market. We are competing in a
market of twenty compared to someone like
Khaligraph competing in a market of hun-
dreds. Add that to the fact that female rap-
pers are yet to make a name for themselves
in the male-dominated African market; there
is a lot of opportunity for growth.
P: What does it mean to be a female
rapper in Kenya?
W: It is great. Promoters are calling us
for shows here and there though there is still
a lot to be done. I mean, why would you call
me to do free monthly shows at your prem-
ises under the pretext of getting recogni-
tion like one social event purported to.
We are past the upcoming artist stage; show
me the money.
P: So, beyond the soft looks and Lauryn
Hill, who exactly is Wangechi?
W: I am sort of a geek who loves
mathematics. I am currently a student at
Strathmore University pursuing a degree in
Financial Economics. I am always in the stu-
dio whenever I am off school, like Saturdays
from morning to evening. I have so far re-
corded 40 songs since September last year.
P: Why the decision to release a full mix-
tape instead of the usual singles as other
mainstream Kenyan artistes?
W: I wanted to build a fan base that can
grow with me so the reason for the mix-tape.
Basically what I was doing was trying to give
the audience a variety and we were distribut-
ing it absolutely for free. If you didnt like this
particular song I had ten others that sound
different that you would nd interesting in the
same CD. I have gained a level of respect
due to that move. Many people dont view
me now as just another rapper with a silver
spoon and some lucky catchy bars on Ligi
Soo remix but as a rapper with talent.
P: What of the album, what is the word
on the streets?
W: Its going to be a 14-track album.
The anticipation is mostly positive. They are
saying that I could even go as far as pos-
sible maybe even push the standards above
higher what Camp Mulla set not just in the
country, but the continent. However some
people view me as being too commercial.
They are entitled to their opinion; I respect
that.
P: Who is nancing your music?
W: It is self nanced. Whatever little
money I get from my show I put it in my
music.
P: So you are not just some rich kid?
W: My mom is rich. I am not; whatever
she has is hers. She is hardworking and
has managed to provide for us a home in
Kileleshwa but that is as far as it goes. If
anything she makes me pay for bills such as
the electricity one, which I tend to misuse by
leaving the lights on and what not.
P: Someone special in your life?
W: I dont believe in relationships. I am
just not in a rush. Why should you be in a re-
lationship with someone you are eventually
not going to spend the rest of your life with?
P: Because you are supposedly to kiss a
dozen frogs before you meet the one. You
sound bitter, did someone break your heart?
W: Not at all. I just decided to make
music the centre of my attention. Do you
know what emotional baggage girls my age
have to deal with when it comes to relation-
ships texting each other every other sec-
ond, getting mad when you dont respond
immediately and all that BS?
P: Speaking from experience so there
was actually someone?
W: Yes, there was.
Fresh from a CNN Interview, Wangechi, who is
obviously making fast moves in the Kenyan music
scene with big collabos and hits on the way sat
down with KEVIN OGUOKO to bring you her
delightful story

requests include lashing
of Cristal champagne, an
attendant to dispose of her
used chewing gun, a bottle of vitamin water
to bathe her dogs in eer 200 white kittens
and 100 white doves, we all go alas!
But when a local celeb goes asking for
his concert dressing room to be painted
white, that his toilet bowel be lled with rose
petals or even a request of mannequin puffy
pink hair like Lady Gaga did or even a white
carpet spreading from the airport entry to
his pick up spot, then know, you are just
pushing the envelope too far. Instead, rst,
get yourself a ne meal. When did you get
yourself a good one last?
Well, forget the ordinary diva demands
associated with celebrities, Tanzanian star
Diamond Platnumz has just taken the game
to a new level.
In his new performance rate card that
was mailed to Pulse recently, one will
need approximately Sh4 million to host the
Number One singer for a concert in Kenya.
You are expected to y him in after
paying two First Class and seven Economy
Class air tickets for the team of his nine
staff members.
Upon arrival, you must attach them to
private cars, and that should be throughout
their stay, before getting Diamond
accommodated in a presidential suite
besides getting his team four extra double
rooms and one single one.
His new technical rider demands that you
provide him with two wireless Sure Brand
microphones, pioneer DJ mix machines with
two decks and another microphone, a glass
So you want a brand new toilet seat xed in your
bathroom at every venue you perform and a

just getting crazy, as AUSTINE OKANDE found out
OOPS!

REALLY?
the industry. I used to earn Sh5,000 for a
show, Moustapha told Pulse.
Guys used to be paid chips and
sausages for an all-night performance at
Carnivore. This industry had no money. That
is how far we come from, Big Ted, one of
the pioneer events promoter and artistes
manager concurs.
Its hardly three years when secular star
turned gospel ace Size 8 who is now in her
millions could y to the Coast to hussle
for a performance of Sh30,000. Top deejays
who are now charging upto Sh200,000 per
show used to be paid Sh20,000 or nothing
and event emcees were just an additional
labour, joyriders who could just emcee an
event just for the fun of it. Comedians were
the unheard lot!
But now, here now, we have celebrities
laughing all the way to the bank as they task
corporates and events organisers with hefty
performance fees.
For many artistes, the old days when
promoters used to call the shots, paying
them peanuts for their performances, are
gone. Most local celebs now have well
dened rates for their performances, each

stage with trussing and decorated with LED
lights with moving heads. The backstage
should be well equipped with air condition
and six personnel; four being security, one
waitress, and one representative from the
organisers side, water, juices, and snacks.
Please avoid bacon or any form of pork
based meals, the card warns.
The performance fee alone stands at
Sh2.3 million and as at this week, the rates
were to go up by Sh440,000 for anyone
who had not done bookings; that for a two-
hour performance during which no video
shooting should be allowed unless there is
a special arrangement.
The announcement came only days
after Nigerias Davido whose career is
on a high with his new Makizolo Tchelete
(Goodlife) and his last years Aye release
announced a Sh4.4 million gure for his
East Africa performances.
Even though the two gures sounded
exaggerated compared to what other artistes
across Africa do charge for continental
concerts, the entire buzz has thrown in a
fresh debate on what performing artistes
are worth and how much compensation
they should take for a show.
Days are gone when artistes were
regarded as desperate individuals with
no reasonable career. Back then, local
musicians used to survive from hand to
mouth. They had no bank accounts as
they had no cash at all; and when they got
some, they used to blow it in clubs and in
purchasing ashy dress wear.
Forget diva demands. Back then, no
one was talking about technical riders or
other demands as there was no money in
COVERSTORY
by air strictly Kenya Airways unless where
routes do not apply and if the mode of
transport is by road he demands to ride
in 4WD vehicle and a 5-star approved
accommodation for his entire crew.
Failure by client or event manager to
adhere to this rider will see DNGs non-
performance and retention of any pre-paid
monies. DNG will also be paid in full any
remaining balance and indemnied of any
loss, damages or subsequent legal action,
reads one of his quotations which Pulse
has seen.
Shafe Weru rate stands at an average
of Sh80,000, his demands being all access
passes for him and his entourage as well as
bottles of Jack Daniels drink.
Singer Avril demands between Sh60,000
to 80,000 for a show with her rider being
50 percent pay on contracting and the rest
before the show. Avril will show up for the
event with her own means of transport and
work with the equipment that you have.
Jaguar says he does his research about
the gig he is invited to perform at if out of
the country, that informs his decision.
I never go out of the country to do a
gig at a club.
My events are strictly concerts and for
any after party event in a club, I have to be
paid, he adds. He adds, Half of my pay
has to be paid while I am in the country.
I dont have many demands. I prefer
apartments, not hotels.
The sound system has to be quality
with good stage and microphones. And
when Jaguar lands at the airport in a
foreign country he demands for a posh car
preferably Jaguar, Cadillac, and Mercedes-
Benz among other classy cars. He also
must have at least two bodyguards at any
given time.
Artistes should focus in establishing
their brands rst before they make any
demands, he adds.
About three weeks ago, Jaguar
rejected an offer to perform in Tanzania
saying he had been booked in a downtown
hotel. It was just the other day when
STLs management reportedly rejected
a deal proposed to them by a leading
corporate organisation that did not meet
her demands, now harmonised with her
international performance rates.
Event organisers who spoke to Pulse
argue that today the entertainment scene
has become more lucrative and many of
the artistes have become more business
conscious thus explaining the high gures
and the fresh demands.
Other organisers also argue that many
celebrities are aping what is happening
in international showbiz circles where
celebrities make outrageous demands out
of their wide popularity.
The problem is most of the diva
tendencies and exorbitant fees demanded
by the local artistes are unpractical. That
is why most of the good artistes no longer
feature in concerts, Big Kev claims.
Sometimes, some celebrity demands
are un-realist. Like someone might say,
most celebs use their talents to impose
their own selsh life styles. They are puffed
up with pride that they are deceived about
their own importance in the society.
Sarabi Band
well broken down for any willing client to
weigh out. Top singers like Jaguar cannot
take less than Sh300,000 for a local show. He
charges Sh3 million for regional concerts and
upto Sh5 million for international shows.
Comedian Jalango clocks Sh100,000
for an ordinary show while emcee DNG will
always ask Sh200,000 for night emceeing.
The amounts do match those of other
regional top dogs such as Chameleone who
charges about Sh200,000 per show.
But it is the new artistes demands similar
to those issued by international stars that
seems to be changing the game.
Aspects like an artiste asking for specic
water brand, particular ingredients in a meal,
microphone, specic beddings and bed
position and the likes are now normal in the
industry.
One of those artistes who demand their
own microphone is emcee DNG.
For DNG to perform at your gig you have
to pay him in cash 50 per cent down-payment
at least one week before the event.
DNGs basic technical rider requires that
the event organiser provides him with a Shure
Beta 58A Cordless Microphone with brand
new energizer batteries and four bottles of
lukewarm water; specically from top brands
Dasani, Keringet or Kilimanjaro.
Other DNG demands include a neat,
warm and private backstage area with no
view by the audience and a personal portable
loo next to the backstage that no public can
get view of.
The celebrated emcee too has a full meal
(balanced diet) for his entire crew and if the

Director: Nick Cassavetes
Cast: Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton,
Nickolaj Coaster-Walda and Nicki Minaj
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 1hr 49 min
Rating: 6.5/10
A
fter discovering that her boyfriend is
married, Cameron Diaz tries to get
her ruined life back on track. Diaz
is a lawyer at a powerful rm, but
her prowess in law does not prevent her from
being swept off her feet by a dashing business
guy. When she accidentally meets the wife hes
been cheating on (Leslie Mann), she realizes they
have much in common, and her sworn enemy
becomes her greatest friend. When yet another
affair is discovered by Kate Upton, all three
women team up to plot mutual revenge on their
cheating men.
The joy of watching this kind of movie comes
from seeing such a smooth operator go down as
his schemes are revealed and destroyed.
The plot is brought in an outright funny man-
ner, and who is better placed than Diaz to crack
your ribs? For a while, Diaz and Mann make for
a likable odd couple as co-conspiratorstwo
women who couldnt be more different clash-
ing and connecting as they unite for a common
cause.
Their doubts and decisions come from rec-
ognizable places. But then theres a third woman
whose introduction unfortunately throws the
whole movie into wacky, slapstick territory.
Thumbs up
The Other Woman is a hilarious movie that
has its own wonky charm and intermittent mo-
ments of genuine, depraved humour, whose
directions and blocking leave you glued to the
screen. Being her rst on-screen role, Nicki Minaj
delivers one of the few consistent pleasures.
What better place to get wardrobe inspiration as
well.
Thumbs down
The movie is funny but Kate Upton is not the
kind to do slapstick comedy. It is too much of a
role for her to act. The director should have stuck
to intelligent humour and funny dialogue, than
interrupt the ow. Also the character contrast is a
bit too obvious.
Verdict
It has got some very funny scenes that you
should watch to crack up your weekend. It raises
questions about independence, identity and
sisterhood that are not necessarily answered in
this movie. Cameron Diaz does not disappoint
either; she schemes in a manner that will leave
you taking notes (ladies of course).
MOVIE BAROMETER
1-2: Not worth your time
3-4:Needs work
5-Average
6-7:Good
8-10: Excellent
The views expressed in this column are
those of the writer and not necessarily
those of Pulse magazine.
On dating
You are wasting your time if
you claim to be dating before
the age of 23. Dating is a give-
and-take affair that requires
one to understand and build
themselves, before you can
build someone else.
On ladies
Ladies are independent and
try too hard to outdo men.
They feel no need to submit.
One requires money to involve
themselves with this new breed
of ladies.
On celebs
Kenya has no celebrities. Every
other person thinks himself or
herself a celebrity. It is for the
same reason that artistes are
not appreciated in their country;
hence, prophets are never
accepted at home.
On gospel artistes
They need to stop
showing people how
much fun they can have
compared to the secular
world. They need to stay
true to their calling; tell
people what they are
supposed to hear, not
what they want to hear.
On socialites
They try to make news
and get attention through
their many stunts. In this
harsh modelling world,
it is no wonder they want
to create their own fan
base as a platform for
cheap publicity.

IT'S ABBAS
VERSUS
BAMBOO
S
orry guys K-South is done.
But trust me your favourite
MCs favourite African
MC still has some serious
heat for the streets. I am hip-hop, rapper
Bamboo tweeted on Thursday last week.
The tweet was the ultimate conrmation
of the hot vibe in the grapevine in town that
old hip-hop friends, Bamboo and Abbas
were having scores to settle.
Word on the street had it that Abbas
had thrown Bamboo out of his house after
hosting him for months after the two failed
to agree on some serious matters.
Even though neither Abbas nor Bamboo
conrm where their current differences
stem from, critics have it that Abbas, who
has been the motivation behind Rabbit
and Khaligraph, the new hip-hop heads
in town was not happy about Bamboos
continued hate on Rabbit who Abbas has
been mentoring and openly endorsing as the
next big thing. And there is more; in this ght,
the fact that Bamboo went ahead to start
mentoring Coola Gang opened the wounds
as this was viewed as a counter move to
Abbas new project.
Though K-South has been inactive for a
while as a crew, Abbas and his fellow rapper
Bamboo have been trying to bring the vibe
back!
My new song, Jamaa wa Mtaa, was
done long before the return of Bamboo.
I am dedicating to work with Rabbit and
Khaligraph. I plan to change the game and
keep the old K-South spirit real. A lot of good
stuff is coming out. That is what you would
expect from me now that I am even working
with Kayoles nest Khaligraph and also
Rabbit, Abbas said a few weeks ago.
That spiked the rift between Abbas and
Bamboo, the two hip-hop pioneers who
took the showbiz scene by storm in 1995
when Abbas was called Jerry Dobeez.
Clearly irked by Bamboos unbecoming
move to hoist himself as the new hip-hop
king Abbas responded to Bamboos claim,
that K-South was no more, through a
Facebook update.
K-South this! K-South that! Going solo
was the best thing that happened cant do
bizness with non-focused peeps. Lets see
who is who, Abbas wrote, a rant that was
no question directed towards Bamboo as a
cold reaction to his comment that he was
still the top hip-hop guy in town.
When Pulse met Abbas for an interview
on this steaming heat, a rather charged
Abbas had little respect to share.
Let me ask you, who made K-South?
Who? Do you know who was behind our
success, he asked.
One minute he decides to get saved,
I think for what would be personal
convenience, then the next night you meet
him in the club drinking himself silly. How
do you work with such a guy, Abbas told
Pulse.
Bamboo could not be reached when we
tried to get him to respond to this claims.
I can not trust working with such a guy
anymore. That is why I decided to work
The new hip-hop beef in town has exposed two of
the one time illest hip-hop group, K South, badly
in what seems the ultimate death of the Abbas
and Bamboo hip-hop union. The two are no longer
seeing eye to eye and Pulse tells you why after our
exclusive interview with Abbas
with fresh and hard working individuals like
Rabbit, talented stars Bamboo does not
even seem to respect, he added.
I am tired of people trying to derail the
progress hip-hop has seen over the years.
I have been at the forefront, supporting
new hip-hop heads like Rabbit, a star who
someone somewhere can afford to trash

A
gano has a shop along one of the
many commercial buildings on
Mfangano Street where he sells
liquor. Amid the buzz of the loud
music and high-pitched conversations of his
many customers, he casually pitches himself on
top of the guardrails and looks in my direction,
waiting for the conversation to start.
David Munyoki is a product of the artistic
Dandora estate and has seen it all. Growing up
with the likes of members of the famed Kala-
mashaka as his neighbours, he knew at an early
age that he was destined for the arts industry.
I was actually an acrobat while in school,
says Agano amid chuckles to the claim as his
stout, laidback physique does not look anything
like an acrobat.
With time, rap took precedence and I im-
mersed myself totally in the game. It was always
about edutainment; tackling social issues with a
touch of art, he recalls.
Aganos chubby face can be seen in nearly
all the early photos of the Mau Mau crew when
his dreadlocks were still sprouting and rough.
Unlike recent times when he can afford to tie
them as a turban, the artiste who named himself
as a tribute to his religious Bible-reading early
days was slim and very young.
I have done many songs from the mo-
ment I started rapping to date. I am not even a
veteran, I am a Sheikh of the local rap scene,
says Agano, who never went to college after
high school but concentrated on music.
Music is all about the passion and I have
banks of it, he adds.
Aganos rst major song was Fanya Tena
featuring Judge and Kitu Sewer. But he fully
came to prominence after the rapping prowess
and comical lyrics of Wakamba Wawili penetrat-
ed the radio waves. The founding of the group
is itself a fate that can only be termed as one of
coincidence.
I am the only Kamba in Mau Mau and La-
balaa is the only Kamba in Ukoo Flani. We did
the single Chunguzia and it became a hit. Guys
in (the collective) Ukoo Flani Mau Mau con-
vinced us to form a duo. We were forced into it
by other tribes, Agano puts it comically.
Wakamba Wawili thus became another
AgaNo
The
branch of the
biggest rap unit in
the country that
also had groups
like Kalamasha-
ka, Black Duo,
Warogi Wawili and
Wenyeji.
We click really
well. We are like broth-
ers when it comes to rap, said Agano,
whose Facebook posts generate both
disdain and appreciation for the indepen-
dence, casualness and bold nature of his
mind. They hit the studio for only a month
to release the album Tume Survive Kila
Vita in 2009. The album had hits that
included Musiq Ya Soul featuring Sauti
Sols Bien Aime. Others include Chukua
Simu, Mbali na Far and Full Kilupwe
featuring Abbas.
His heavy drawled voice and much
more lewd lyrics complemented Laba-
laas suave Swahili and rhyme scheme.
The duo got their chance to host the
popular Hip Hop Halisi show on both
Nation TV and Homeboyz Radio.
The period between 2009 and
2012 was one of my best times so
far. Shows, money and good music
was pushing the adrenaline to high
levels, recalls the artiste who
confesses to having no interest in
dating or marriage.
However, 2012 was to end on a
low after he broke both his legs in
an accident. He was coming from
a show in Kisii when the accident
occurred.
It was the most trying time as I was
conned to the bed for eight months doing
nothing that I loved. I was very depressed
and I am even surprised I did not become an
alcoholic, he says. He recovered, only to nd
Labalaa engrossed in his own depression over
substance abuse.
Sometimes, life challenges lead us to very
dark paths just like any other human being
out there. After their rst album, the duo had
From a humble background to the massive
radio waves and television success, Agano is
a proven MC but remains casual about all the
achievements. After performing with Labalaa in
a rare appearance recently at a hip-hop tribute
show, the suave businessman tells MKALA
MWAGHESHA he is planning a comeback
decided to do separate projects and Agano
is set to launch his album, Usi-ni-Judge, this
December.
The 16-song album will have a heavy cast
that includes Rabbit, Judge, Cedric, Washamba
Wenza and UB.
We will also do an album as Wakamba
Wawili soon. We just need to plan for a three-
week date with the studios, quips the happy-
go-lucky Agano, who also owns a barbershop
besides other small businesses.

uring an interview with Pulse
a month ago, singer Kidis
said something that left us
perplexed.
A Nairobi girl had come out alleging
that she was heavy with the Kamua Leo
hit maker. He wasnt buying the story and
coming on his defence he argued:
I know the girl. The rst time we were
together in bed, I never touched her. I only
slept with her once and after that she even
had her periods.
Well, we can excuse Kidis for everything
else but now, how many times does it take
for a man and a woman to sleep together
before getting her pregnant?
It was just like the case of rapper
Bamboo claiming that Jesus appeared to
me in a vision. Yes, during an interview with
Pulse, the rapper said he had quit secular
music as God had asked him to. He said
that in a vision, Jesus had revealed himself
to him and showed him all the ill truth
associated with hip hop. But a few months
later, Bamboo was singing a different tune
after Pulse found him in the club.
Now, a little bird alleges that at the
time of claiming he had gotten saved,
Bamboos life had hit a dead rock and that
he was only using the prank to convince
his preacher dad that he had changed his
ways so as to get accepted back home.
Well, when God appears to you like he did
to Saul on the road to Damascus Bible
story, brother, life can hardly be the same
again. Or can it!
Do you remember this one?
I am not one to judge, Lord knows Ive
had more blonde moments than I could
count, but this one tipped the scale a little
bit That was Huddah, our socialite
friend, when she was representing us in Big
Brother Africa.
The next prize goes to one Blacky, the
dancehall singer who became popular for his
Show me what your mama Gave You kind of
wacky video.
During an interview with Pulse two weeks
ago, he lashed out at hip hop artistes in
Kenya saying: I notice a lack of seriousness
in the hip hop... Octopizzo is the only hip hop
artiste I appreciate. The rest are just wasting
their time beeng around, just to look for
attention.
And he went on to say:
The Roman Catholic Church drinks wine
in broad daylight and Jesus turned water
into wine, a sign that he approves of it. In
the book of John 8, it is said that one can
take a little wine for the stomachs sake, so I
see no problem doing gospel and dancehall,
neither do I see a problem being in the club
on Friday and ministering on Sunday. That
does not sound so clever!
And just what did socialite Vera mean
when she recently said that Prezzo and I had
been friends for long but she did not want
to make their friendship public as she feared
people would spoil it?
Prezzo and I have been secret friends. But
I have a boyfriend, a Nigerian businessman
with whom I will celebrate our rst anniversary
soon, she went on to say.
And blonde moments are not just a reserve
of local celebrities. Check this out:
Alicia Silverstone on her role in
Clueless: I think that the lm was very deep.
I think it was deep in the way that it was very
light. I think lightness has to come from a
very deep place if its true lightness.
Jodie Marsh in a recent interview: Eskimos
are uncivilised because they dont have any
shops. Paris Hilton on her technique on the
red carpet: I dont really think, I just walk.
Sam Fox on tness clothes: Ive got ten
pairs of training shoes - one for every day of
the week.
Jessica Simpson on NewleyWeds: Is
this chicken, what I have, or is this sh? I
know its tuna, but it says Chicken by the
Sea.
Britney Spears on her taste in clothes:
So many people have asked me how I
You have ever sat down and thought;
What! Was that the dumbest thing I have
ever heard or something? World over,
celebrated stars and popular socialites
make some of the dumbest jokes you
can ever think about; and here are some
could possibly be a role model and dress like
a tramp and get implants... all I have to say is
that self-esteem is how you look at yourself
and I feel good enough about myself so wear
that kind of clothing... the breast implant
issue has nothing to do with that...
Cameron Diaz on science: Ive been
noticing gravity since I was very young.
Mariah Carey on the death of the King of
Jordan: I loved Jordan. He was one of the
greatest athletes of our time.

rophies; how they are won is
ultimately not the thing. The main
thing is that they are won. After
nine years of slavery Arsenal has
a trophy.
Arsenal has a tendency to put their sup-
porters through torture to do it, and such was
the case at Wembley. The start was nothing
short of a asco. The Arsenal players, for all
the talk of not going into the game with any
sense of complacency, were simply not at the
races from the off. Hull were winning chal-
lenges, showing greater desire and commit-
ment. Wengers team have often been slow
starters in matches, but on this occasion Hull
took the initiative that the Gunners seemed
to have no interest in seizing. A Kieran Gibbs
header off the line followed two early set piece
goals. Arsenal were reeling. Only one team
looked frozen by the occasion, overcome with
nerves. The passing was awry, and with their
noses well and truly in front, Hull had the option
to retreat into their shell and focus on keeping
a clean sheet rather than exploiting Arsenals
poor beginning any further.
Quite how Arsenal contrived to surrender
two early goals remains a mystery, but two set
pieces unhinged the defence, were it not for
Kieran Gibbs goal-line clearance it could have
been three. To say the Gunners started slowly
is an understatement. A test of character was
unfolding in front of us.
I was seated in a corner, in a popular Sports
Bar, watching the scandal unfold right in front
of my eyes. At the next table, an Arsenal fan
who had been sipping Fanta Orange all evening
suddenly beckoned the waiter and ordered for
two doubles of whiskey. He mixed it with Fanta
and gulped it down. I didnt know you could
mix whiskey with Fanta. He removed his jacket
and he started sweating. I was not sure if the
sweating was done to the effects of the whisky
or the score line with Arsenal surprisingly trail-
ing.
Back to the game, Santi Cazorla, allegedly
following orders from Arsene Wenger to hit his
free-kick to the keepers left hand side, set the
comeback in motion. It was another magical
Wembley moment. Arsenal was back in busi-
ness. Hull were combative, but that was only to
be expected.
Now it is fair to say with a different referee
Barcelona and Real Madrid, who have not
failed to win the league title between them
since 2004.
However, Atleticos remarkable achieve-
ment was soured after they were forced to
conduct their open-top bus parade without
the trophy.
La Liga chief Angel Maria Villar was away
and therefore could not present the victori-
ous team with the trophy at the Camp Nou,
where Atletico clinched the title with a 1-1
draw, meaning their ofcial presentation will
be delayed until the start of next season. Can
you imagine that? How cruel? It is like having
a wedding but you postpone honeymoon for
four months. Surely!
One wonders what kind of business travel
that the FA chief had found more urgent that
his core business of overseeing the crucial
affairs of the Spanish La Liga. As the football
supremo, if you cannot be at hand to hand
over the trophy, then there is something seri-
ously wrong with his priorities. Nevertheless
congrats are in order to Atletico Madrid for
overcoming to seemingly gigantic mountains
to win the trophy ahead of Real Madrid and
Barca.
Am sure many neutrals will be hoping that
Atletico Madrid and go one better and beat
Real Madrid tomorrow to claim the Champi-
ons League.
Arsenal would have had at least one of the
three penalty incidents that followed, but then
again Arsenal might not have got the corner
from which Laurent Koscielny grabbed yet an-
other vital goal for the club. With 12 minutes
to go Kieran Gibbs looked set to win it but
he blasted over from eight yards out. So to
extra-time beckoned. That called for an extra
round of beers.
With the number of balls blasted over the
bar by Arsenal players, I was beginning to get
a bit worried about the prospects of penalties
to decide the tie.
When the winner eventually came, it was
tting that it came from the boot of Aaron
Ramsey, whose year has typied Arsenals
season: after a strong start, injuries caused
him to fade later on.
Arsenal needed to win a trophy to make
a statement. The season might not have
delivered the Premier League title it briey
promised, but its still been a season of
signicant progress. For almost a decade, Ar-
senal have had to endure punishing nancial
restrictions that impinged upon their short-
term ambitions. In the past 12 months, voices
from inside club have repeatedly insisted that
period was coming to a close.
Silverware is validation of that theory;
Arsenal have achieved proof of concept. If
youd spoken to a fan 12 months ago, they
would have asked for two things: signicant
investment in the transfer market and a major
trophy.
The season began with the club transfer
record being shattered to sign Mesut Ozil and
has ended with an FA Cup win. Arsenal have
been good to their word and fans loyalty has
been rewarded. If this is the start of a new
era, its arrival is being toasted with the FA
Cup. Buttime will tell.
Spanish mess
Atletico Madrid were forced to celebrate
their rst La Liga title in 18 years without
the famous trophy, because the head of the
Spanish FA was travelling. Yes, you read it
right.
The capitals second club are the rst
side in 10 years to break up the duopoly of
Phew! Finally a trophy!

I
hardly get time out of my par-
ents house and on this public
holiday, by some magic, I was
let out to visit one of my school-
mates at their place.
What an awesome relief this was!
The feeling was heavenly.
I asked a male friend of mine to
accompany my and he agreed with
one condition; that I would join him for
a quick drink where his boys had been
that afternoon. And why not? I offered
to.
After catching a few bottles, we took
off for the mission. I must admit, we
were stone drunk but something inside
me told me that I was stable and all
would be well.
My friend wasnt at home when
we arrived and her aged mother gladly
ushered us in and even offered each of
us a big bowel of porridge! Now, this
was a porridge treat after a drunken
afternoon
I felt like throwing up at the smell of
the fermented stuff and as the old lady
left the room, I reached out to the win-
dow and decided to pour the contents
out. At least, that way, I would pretend
I had consumed it. Little did I know that
as I was pouring the porridge it went
straight to the old lady who had gone
to the backyard garden to pick some
greens for our meal.
Needless to say, she came back
fuming, throwing all sorts of insults on
me. I sobered up, and so, as we were
shown the door out. What an outing!

ake it till you make it aptly
captures the fashion world,
forcing so-called fashionis-
tas to keep up with the Jone-
sess at all costs. From the
time you walk in, chauffeur driven
women who cant open their own doors
walk in with their noses stuck up and
their chocking perfumes polluting the
fresh air. Too snobby even for the
intimidating bouncer to utter a word
considering they give off the air of being
WANNABE, DROP IT
untouchable and way above the average
class. Then there are those who cherish
the sight of a camera no matter the
source. They are a constant feature in
the red carpet with magazine copied and
practiced poses.
They will make sure the photos are
perfect and appear in every shot. Once
inside, there goes the celebrity who acts
like everyone knows them. Then of
course there is the loud blabbermouth
chic who cant shut up. She will laugh
the loudest and talk on top of her lungs
with fake American stories and accents
just to make sure you all know how her
life is popping, with her butt-kissing
friends on her tab playing along.
Looking ridiculous with loads of
makeup, horse hair, high heels and
body hugging dresses goes the type
that act like they are the very epitome
of fashion. When they pass heads roll,
yes, but for all the wrong reasons.
Seated at the front rows are the
fashion gurus feeling all privileged in
ridiculous coloured hair, up dos and
poorly coordinated outfits making them
perfect candidates for fashion crime. Not
so far from them are the metro sexual
men who try too hard to play the fashion
game, bordering on looking gay. They
will be spotted in fitting suits, manicured
nails, a man purse and a funny haircut.
Not so bad considering their friends who
play for the other team. They will be
caught wearing heels, cleavage
showing shirts, coloured nails, gelled
hair and acting like a girl on an epileptic
attack throwing their hands all over your
face with a fake feminine voice dude,
please!
For those covering the event aka
media guys, they could care less about
making an effort in their dressing. Drinks
on the house and hot girls are what
matters at that point, before they hit the
next party. Wannabe models will be seen
approaching known photographers
proposing to pose for free and if pushed
harder throw in a few other incentives.
Followed closely are the ushers who are
paid to smile and take care of guests
looking like geishas from all the exag-
gerated makeup, figure busting dresses
and back breaking heels they cant walk
in. Once the show is over you see them
holding wine glasses and getting super
cosy with guests and even posing for
photos is this part of the job descrip-
tion? I wonder.
This wouldnt be a true picture
without mentioning the models, would
it? Truth be told 90 per cent cannot
catwalk. That said, not even their face
can save them the embarrassment
considering how hot they feel and God
knows why because there is nothing on
that girl to cry home about, on the real.

CELEBRITY SINGER CHEATS ON HUSBAND
T
rouble is brewing within a
widely famous and contro-
versial celebrity couple after
the husband conrmed an
affair between the celebritys
wife and a prominent former Central
region politicians son.
All has not been well in the marriage
and the wife seems to have taken to other
affairs after walking out of the marriage.
The situation has become more
complex after the said wife admitted to
having the relationship and threatened the
husband in a text message warning
I am not your wife and he owes you
nothing. He is speaking to the cops and
lawyers. With his connections, he can
spoil more than you. Please keep off, the
lady who is a mother wrote to the hus-
band, in an SMS that was forwarded to
Pulse this week.
Besides that text, the troubled hus-
band, an entertainer, former presenter and
respected man in the political, corporate
and showbiz arena shared with us all the
text messages obtained from the wifes
phone and the threatening message and
requested the identity of the said politi-
cians son not to be published for obvious
reasons citing that: It could be a case of
hit and run on the part of the man and the
lady being on rebound. As a man, I would
hate to expose the lady who is my wife
and mother of my baby.
It would rather be a bit insensitive at
this point. I would be exposing her to
public ridicule and putting her moral
degree and career in question. I will be
patient, he told Pulse.
The SMSs between the man and the
celebrity girl in our possession do
highlight a passionate affair between the
two in which the lady sounds so smitten.
Most of them are night calls the kind
that a lover would call the night kiss to
cap the activities of the day.
The politicians son in question is a
senior boss in a telecommunication rm, a
strategist who joined the rm after
completing his Masters Degree abroad
some few years back.
He is a close friend of madam celeb
a friendship spanning back almost 15
years ago. I am giving you all this
information so that in case something
happens to me, the world will be in the
know, said the man.
I will continue taking good care of her,
I mean, she is the mother to my baby and
as far as I know, she deserves my
respect. It is in my interest to see her lead
a respectable life, he concluded.

UPCOMING ARTISTE
BAGS MAJOR DEAL
Upcoming rapper K.I.P has bagged a deal worth
$3000 (Sh261,000) with a German recording label.
K.I.P, who burst into the scene late last year has
recorded two tracks with Black and White Label
with another ten on the cards.
They are set to pay me the amount once the
album is done. They were here (Nairobi) over the
weekend to nalise the deal, said the artiste, who
records his music under Daz, of Walanguzi. The
deal involve me doing all the songs in Swahili in the
album called The Voices of Africa.

ospel sensation Size 8 gave her typical
energetic performance in Nakurus
Safaricom Groove Tour even though
she was not well. The artiste, whose
new single Yuko Nawewe is earning good media
reviews, had a running stomach caused by food
poisoning and looked physically weak before she
went on stage.
I am not feeling well and I wonder how the
performance will be, a rather distraught Size 8 told
Pulse before gathering her energy and getting to
stage where she gave an electrifying performance.
A near stampede occurred when Eric Omondi
and his entourage, which included his brother Fred
and fellow comedian Owago Nyiro were leaving
the stadium. Eager fans who had camped at the
rear entrance of the stadium fought each other
to get a feel of being next to the comedians who
made a rare appearance at the event. Security
personnel had to intervene to save the situation.
The Groove Tour is a countrywide event sponsored
by Safaricom ahead of the Groove Awards whose
nominees are gathering support before the
ceremony takes place in Nairobi on June 1. Voting
is on and will be closing next week.

Yes, I am no longer working at the station,
Kaydee conformed when we reached out to get his
comments.
Asked why he gave up the show that had gained
such a great following, Kaydee told Pulse that it had
to do with the terms he had been operating under at
the station.

her a limelight moment.
SENATOR IN
COURT
FOR CHILD
NEGLECT
A lady who claims to have
had a romantic relationship with
a youthful leader, a senator, has
lled a case against him. The
lady claims that the two have
had a romantic affair that ended
after the man came into power
after which he neglected their
baby. She is in court seeking to
have the senator provide child
support.
The lady, who had lled
the case a few months ago
temporarily held on to the case
about a month ago after her
parents reportedly asked her to
go slow on the leader from the
Eastern region, who back then,
reportedly pledged to support
her.
However, this dialogue seems
to have hit a dead end as the
lady is back in court, pushing for
the case to continue.

actress Sabby Angel has found love in
the Kenyan Coast. The talented sassy

wedding emerged is rumoured to be
dating a top lm producer based in
Mtwapa.
Well, all we know is that she has
been doing a project with Hassan
Faisal, the CEO of Coastal Films. They
have really been hanging out together,
a source told Pulse. Another source
told Pulse that indeed Sabby moved to
the Kenyan coast last year.
It is true Sabby Angel is here. She
is my friend and there is no denying
that. If that bothers our haters, then
that is their problem, Hassan Faisal
told Pulse.

GROOVE TOUR
Emmy Kosgei is in
town. The Kenyan gospel
star who got married to a
Nigerian preacher a little
while back made a surprise
performance during the
Safaricom Groove Awards
tour in Nakuru last weekend.
The singer got a warm
reception from the hundreds
of fans at the venue for
the concert. And as usual,
Emmy did not disappoint.
RINGTONE ACCUSED OF
STEALING SONG
Gospel singer Ringtone has been accused of copying
lyrics and a tune belonging to a single by a Kisii-based
musician by the name Sagero.
The artiste says Ringtones song, Mziki ni Dawa, was
originally his and Ringtone only changed it into a Swahili
tune in his now popular single.
I would like Kenyans to know that even if the songs
have a similar title, I wrote mine from the Bible story of
David and Saul. I dont know where he got his inspiration
from, Ringtone defended.
Why is he going around spreading lies that I stole his
song? I have never even heard what he sings in the rst
place, he charged.
OUT LINDA OKELLO,
ENTER LADY MAGESA
A month ago, the media was awash with photos of
Linda Okello, the hot looking Kiambu police ofcer who
became popular thanks to her tight skirt.
But now, the hot police lady crown seems to be
shifting to Tabitha Magesa aka Lady Magesa, a security
ofcer who doubles up as a gospel singer.
Fans attending the Safaricom Groove Tour in Nakuru
last Sunday were offered a rare treat after Tabitha, a
police constable in Nakuru got the crowd by surprise after
she took to the stage singing her Bingu Zaubiri hit, one
of the six songs she has already recorded with Nakurus
Sams studio.
I love ministering through songs and this is my
calling, she told Pulse shortly after her performance.

ospel sensation Size
8 gave her typical
energetic performance
in Nakurus Safaricom
Groove Tour even though she was
not well. The artiste, whose new
single Yuko Nawewe is earning
good media reviews, had a running
stomach caused by food poisoning
and looked physically weak before
she went on stage.
I am not feeling well and I
wonder how the performance will
be, a rather distraught Size 8 told
Pulse before gathering her energy
and getting to stage where she
gave an electrifying performance.
A near stampede occurred when
Eric Omondi and his entourage,
which included his brother Fred
and fellow comedian Owago
Nyiro were leaving the stadium.
Eager fans who had camped at
the rear entrance of the stadium
fought each other to get a feel of
being next to the comedians who
made a rare appearance at the
event. Security personnel had to
intervene to save the situation.
The Groove Tour is a countrywide
event sponsored by Safaricom
ahead of the Groove Awards whose
nominees are gathering support
before the ceremony takes place in
Nairobi on June 1. Voting is on and
will be closing next week.
