Minister to
be sued for
contempt
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A judge yesterday gave matatus
the go-ahead to start contempt pro-
ceedings against Transport Cabinet
Secretary Michael Kamau in a row
over restrictions on night travel.
Mr Kamau (below) has been sued
by bus operators, who resumed
night travel, only for their vehicles
to be impounded after he reportedly
declared that he was not aware of a
court order lifting the ban.
The CS will know whether he will
shoulder the cost of the protracted
litigation personally today.
Parties in the suit wanted the
burden of paying the costs shifted
from the taxpayer to the CS on
grounds that he was responsible
for the protracted legal tussle when
he published fresh regulations be-
fore the earlier ones were dealt with
conclusively.
In his defence, the CS said he
should not be made to pay person-
ally as he was only discharging
public duty, and was driven by the
urgency of securing passengers and
preventing accidents.
Yesterday, while allowing the
contempt proceedings to start,
Justice George Odunga directed
that the ruling on costs, which is
scheduled for May 30, be delivered
rst before the case against the
minister goes on.

U

to pay lecturers Sh3.8 billion
to avert a looming work boy-
cott.
The amount was part of a collective
bargaining agreement.
Vice-chancellors and chairmen of
university councils from 31 institu-
tions held a meeting with Education
Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi,
where they promised to pay lectur-
ers new salaries as agreed with their
union.
We dont have the option of sta
going on strike, Education Principal
Secretary Belio Kipsang told the uni-
versity bosses at the ministrys Jogoo
House oces in Nairobi.
Universities Academic Sta Union
chairman Sammy Kubasu said the lec-
turers want the money to be paid as a
lump sum. We dont want this money
to be paid in bits, in piecemeal. This
money runs back to 2010. By May 30,
the cash should be in the accounts of
our members, Prof Kubasu told the
Nation in a telephone interview.
He added: At the moment, we
should not be talking about the
vice-chancellors pledging to pay;
they should be sending the money
to banks.
Public universities last week put the
ministry on notice, saying, they would
go on strike if they are not paid their
dues by May 30.

try and the university leadership for
delaying in honouring an agreement
reached in March to pay allowances
amounting to Sh3.8 billion.

Ruto tells power cartels
BY DPPS
The Government will re-
structure Kenya Power to get
rid of cartels, Deputy President
William Ruto has said.
He noted that cartels were
frustrating eorts to speed up
distribution of electricity and
to meet the demands for new
connections.
The Deputy President as-
sured the nation that the
government was working on
a plan to reduce the cost of
electricity for more Kenyans
to get connection.
Achieve eciency
He spoke at St Arnesens
High School where he wound
up his two-day tour of South
and North Rift on Sunday.
Mr Ruto said for the govern-
ment to achieve its target of
ensuring that more than 70 per
cent of Kenyans got electricity
in the next ve years, Kenya
Power must be reorganised to
achieve eciency.
We are restructuring Kenya
Power to make it ecient. Car-
tels days are numbered, said
the Deputy President.
He said the government
had reversed Kenya Powers
decision to double electricity
connection fee.
He said the cost of connect-
ing electricity had reverted to
Sh35,000 from Sh70,000.
Mr Ruto regretted that 70
per cent of Kenyans had no
electricity, adding that this
must be reversed.
We are planning to further
reduce the cost of connecting
electricity in the next two years
to as little as Sh15,000, said
the Deputy President.

The CID have summoned Nairobi
Senator Mike Sonko and Women
Representative Rachel Shebesh
again after the leaders failed to
meet detectives.
The two are being sought to
record statements following a ght
between their bodyguards and sup-
porters at Caribea bar near Yaya
Centre on Saturday night.
Kilimani CID boss George Ojuka
said the two and a man identied as
Khalifa who was part of the group
that came with Ms Shebesh at the
bar, were expected at the Kilimani
CID oce yesterday, but did not
show up.
Unpaid bills
I have issued summons to the
three of them, but they have not
come so we will issue fresh sum-
mons before taking the next course
of action, he said.
When suspects refuse to honour
summons, a warrant of arrest is usu-
ally issued but due to the status of
the two leaders, it was decided that
fresh summons be issued.
Mr Ojuka said the statements
of the two leaders would enable
detectives decide what investiga-
tions to launch following the brawl
at the bar in which two shots were
red by a Mr Khalifa, damaging
the ceiling.
He said Ms Shebeshs ally only
known as Khalifa, could face
charges of misuse of rearm.
His gun licence could also be
revoked if investigations reveal he
red the shots.
The owner of the bar yester-
day claimed to have lost over
Sh300,000 as clients ran away
without paying their bills.

K
enya nished third over-
all in the inaugural IAAF
World Relays Champion-
ships in the Bahamas, behind USA
and fast-nishing Jamaica.
The championship ended at
Nassaus Thomas A. Robinson
Stadium on Sunday night.
But fans should not expect a
parade of medals when the teams
return home, as these champion-
ships dont award medals but
rather, points for the top teams.
Organisers are still grappling
with the huge expenses involved
in planning and hosting the fresh
championships, but the Bahamas
government has taken the tab for
the rst two championships this
year and the next.
The United States topped
the standings, as analysts had
expected, with 60 points.
The 2011 World 100 metres
champion Yohan Blake anchored
Jamaicas 4x100m team to victory
in the final race of the night,
leap-frogging over Kenya who
triumphed in the mens 4x1,500m
in world record time.
Kenyas womens 4x800m
team, spearheaded by World
champion Eunice Sum, nished
second to the USA.
Jamaica amassed 41 points be-
hind USAs 60 with Kenya third
with 35 points.
Kenyas performance was re-
markable, considering that both
the United States and Jamaica
were virtually on home ground
with the US city of Miami a mere
35 minutes hop by air. Jamaicas
capital, Kingston, is also just one-
and-a-half hours away.
Shattering records
Team Kenya will leave Nas-
sau with its head high after
shattering world records in the
mens and womens 1,500m. The
team also convincingly won the
mens 4x800m even without
the countrys top three runners
Olympic champion and world
record holder David Rudisha, Ol-
ympic bronze medallist Timothy
Kitum and Anthony Chemut, also
an Olympian.
After shattering the womens
world record in the 4x1,500m on
Saturday, World champion Asbel
Kiprop led a stellar mens cast,
past the magical record gure
to, like the women, bag
$100,000 (Sh8.6 million). Half of
that (Sh4.3 million) was the win-
ners purse, with a similar amount
in world record bonus.
Its been a good season so far
and now Im gonna go out and
chase my personal best in the
1,500m, said Kiprop who will run
the celebrated Bowerman Mile
at the weekends Prefontaine

meeting in Eugene, USA.
The mens team clocked 14 min-
utes and 22.22 seconds, beating
the previous record of 14:36.23 set
at the Memorial Van Damme in
Brussels on September 4, 2009,
by the quartet of William Biwott,
Gideon Gathimba, Georey Rono
and Augustine Choge.
Lessons learnt
Many lessons were learnt, and
Kenya came out of these champi-
onships with the added advantage
of more athletes getting exposure
to world class competitions.
The womens 4x800m relay
team, for example, lacked the
international experience required
to upstage ghting USA.
We need more exposure and

Waiguru: I didnt reject US funds
BY NATION REPORTER
AND CORRESPONDENT
The government is negotiating with
the United States over a Sh4.2 billion
fund meant for strengthening county
governance, Devolution Cabinet Sec-
retary Anne Waiguru has said.
Ms Waiguru said it was misleading
for two human rights groups to claim
that she had refused to sign a coopera-
tion agreement with the US Agency for
International Development (USAid) for
the release of the funds.
The US Government knows what
kind of discussion they are having
with the Kenya Government as far
as the funds are concerned. I will,
however, not discuss government
issues in the media, she said.
The National Association of Human
Rights Activists (Nahra) and the Cen-
tre for Human Rights and Democracy
had claimed that Kenya was on the
brink of losing Sh4.2 billion meant
to shore up devolved governments
because the Devolution minister had
refused to sign the agreement.
Human rights activists urged Ms
Waiguru to promptly sign the agree-
ment.
It is sad to note that Sh4.2 billion
project could be withdrawn by the US
Government if Ms Waiguru does not
sign the cooperation agreement as
required by the law and diplomatic
practice, said Nahra president Ken
Wafula.
The USAid committed the money
in May last year towards supporting
devolution, he said.
The Sh4.2 billion is not a loan
but a grant that the country is not
required to repay. Why is the Jubilee
Government frustrating this project?
asked Mr Wafula.
Lacked facts
Yesterday, Ms Waiguru said the ac-
cusations lacked facts as the Sh4.2
billion may not be a grant.
That is not accurate. It is not a
grant to the Government of Kenya
and you can ask the Americans to
give you more facts, she said.
The US agency or embassy ocials
could not be reached for comment
as yesterday was a public holiday in
America.
The funds were committed under
the Agile and Harmonised Assistance
for Devolved Institutions project.

A
nti-corruption au-
thorities are seeking
to prosecute ve fresh
suspects involved in Anglo
Leasing-type contracts.
The charges relate to
tenders worth Sh65 billion
which were either outrightly
fraudulent or which involved
over-valuing of goods sold or
services rendered.
Although the Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Commission
chairman, Mr Mumo Matemu,
said that les with the recom-
mendation to prosecute will be
given to the Director of Public
Prosecutions in a matter of
weeks, he declined to identify
the suspects he has recom-
mended for prosecution.
But they will likely come
from the pool of suspects who
have previously been named in
connection with the dubious
transactions that have cost tax
payers billions of shillings.
The announcement comes
when the government is
under pressure to demon-
strate seriousness in the
fight against corruption.
Locally, opposition coalition
Cord has threatened mass
action unless the Jubilee ad-
ministration shows there is
tangible progress in the ght
against graft.
Internationally, Kenya
wants to borrow money from
the European bond market.
Previously, there has been
reluctance to prosecute the
so-called big fish, with ac-
tion being limited to managers
who authorised transactions
and not political bosses or the
shadowy wheeler-dealers.
Last week, President Keny-
atta authorised the Treasury
to pay Sh1.4 billion to two
firms whose contracts had
been the subject of investiga-
tions for nearly a decade.
Mr Kenyatta said he was
forced to do so because a
court had ordered Kenya to
pay up. However, he promised
investigations and prosecu-
tion of those involved in the
transactions.
Yesterday, Mr Matemu
said: We are also going on
with more investigations by
starting the process of seeking
assistance from international
partners by looking for evi-
dence for criminal prosecution
and asset recovery through
The Asset Recovery Inter-
Agency Network.
He said that investigations
into Anglo Leasing-type
contracts had been ongoing,
pointing out that the EACC
had made the progress follow-
ing the signing of mutual legal
assistance deal with dierent
countries. The les we are
going to forward to the DPP
involve both local and foreign
suspects.
Legal assistance
Investigations into most
Anglo Leasing-type cases had
nearly stalled due to lack of
mutual legal assistance agree-
ments but these came into
force with the implementa-
tion of the Constitution.
Apart from the new ve
files, we have another five
Anglo Leasing cases files
which are still pending in
court; one has been nalised
and another is pending for
constitutional reference,
he said.
Last week, Treasury Princi-
pal Secretary Kamau Thugge
told the Public Accounts
Committee (PAC) that the
payment to First Mercan-
tile Securities Corporation
and Universal Satspace was
wired by the Central Bank to
an account at Natwest Bank
in London.
Both rms are associated
with businessman Anura
Pereira who is demanding
an additional Sh3.05 billion
from the government.
Deputy Solicitor-General
Muthoni Kimani and Dr
Thugge told PAC that the gov-
ernment had received a notice
of claim for Project Flagsta,
linked to the National Intel-
ligence Service (NIS).

T
wo KDF soldiers have been
confirmed dead while two
others were reported missing
after they were attacked by a group
of more than 10 Al-Shabaab terrorists
on Sunday night.
Lamu East OCPD Samuel Obara
yesterday said that one Al-Shabaab
militant was shot dead in the gun
battle between Hindi in Kenya and
Ras Kamboni in Somalia.
Mr Obara said the ocers were
transporting foodstu from Hindi
and Bargoni to a military camp in
Ras Kamboni when they were at-
tacked by the terrorists blamed for
a spate of attacks in both Kenya and
Somalia.
On reaching Milimani area, 170km
from Ras Kamboni, their vehicle was
stuck in the mud due to heavy rains,
said Mr Obara. They had to spend
some hours at night. A group of
people attacked them. An exchange
of re ensued and in the process two
Kenyan soldiers were killed. We are
still carrying out investigations, said
Mr Obara.
The attack came just days after a
police ocer was injured by terrorists
in a grenade attack in Mombasa on
Thursday night.
The ocer and his two colleagues
were escorting a suspected terrorist
they had arrested in Mwembe Tayari
to a police station when the grenade
was hurled at them. In the ensuing
commotion, the suspect and two of
his accomplices escaped.
Yesterday, the Nation could not im-
mediately establish how many soldiers
were in the truck.
Attacks by Al-Shabaab have in the
recent past led to a decline in tourism
at the Coast after four countries the
US, the UK, France and Australia
issued advisories to their citizens
against travelling to the Coast.
This led some UK tour companies
to evacuate their patrons from tourist
hotels in the South Coast.
Hoteliers at the weekend asked
the government to waive VAT for
one year to help them recover from
the losses.

killed in battle, says OCPD

have all been targets.
A report by the Pew Research

increase in religion-related armed
conict.

Police to lease
aircraft in war

BY NATION REPORTER
Police will lease aircraft to boost
its airwings eectiveness at a time
when Kenya is faced with serious
security challenges.
The move is part of eorts to
revamp the wing, which has been

ment had come up with a raft of

T
op judges and security chiefs
will meet this week to discuss
the prevailing security situation
in the country following claims that
the Judiciary was frustrating the war
against terror.
The meeting comes a few days
after Deputy President William
Ruto complained that the Judiciary
was thwarting efforts to bring to
book, suspected to terrorists arrested
by police.
Mr Ruto who was speaking after
a terrorism attack along Thika Road
which left several people dead and
many injured, said the manner in
which cases involving terror sus-
pects were handled made it hard
for the security to fully carry out
investigations.
The two-day conference slated for
Thursday at the Judicial Training
Institute (JTI) will be addressed by
Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole
Lenku, Director of Public Prosecution
Keriako Tobiko and Chief Justice Dr
Willy Mutunga among other senior
security and judicial ocials.
In a statement, the CJs oce said
the two-day forum is expected to
generate appropriate responses within
the context of the Constitution and
international human rights laws.
The bone of contention from the
countrys top leadership has been the
release on bond or lenient penalties of
people arrested and suspected to be
behind acts of terrorism including the
now common grenade attacks.
Security experts are now calling for
a review of the countrys anti-terror
laws to curb the current upsurge.
The analyst are worried that the
Prevention of Terrorism Act 2012
for instance, allows bail for terror-
ism suspects.
The Judiciary Training Institute
convenes the meeting after the CJ
instructed that it facilitates construc-
tive dialogue with other stakeholders
within and outside the government.
The meeting aims to explore
international human rights and
counter-terrorism, which sometimes
seem in opposition to each other, and
demonstrate that they should be prop-
erly viewed as complimentary to each
other, said the statement.
Last week the Chief Registrar of
the Judiciary, Ms Anne Amadi said
the Constitution had given certain
rights that must be protected.
She however welcomed the meeting
between the Judiciary and top security
organs to discuss the critical security
issue.

Leader Adan Duale dismissed this
saying Ms Waiguru cannot be faulted
for doing her job.
He criticised Nandi Hills MP Al-
fred Keter for leading an anti-Jubilee
crusade in the Rift Valley.
He downplayed claims that the
government was giving the URP
wing of the Jubilee coalition, a raw
deal in public appointments.
Mr Duale said that many other gov-
ernment ocers were moved on the
day Mr Rugut was transferred.
We will transfer more. He (Keter)
is a young man on the loose. Vot-
ers should get him and take him to
church, said Mr Duale.
He said besides representation of
their people, MPs have oversight and
legislative roles yet some legislators
have only been concentrating on one
role at the expense of the others.
Ms Waiguru, he said, is one of the
best performers in the Cabinet.
ties... it is only a matter of time before
things get out of hand, the Bomet
governor told the Nation.
He said that the region is asking
legitimate questions, which the Presi-
dent and his Deputy are arrogantly
ignoring. When we ask questions
about Kiplimo Rugut, we need clear
answers. When the DP comes out and
takes responsibility for his sacking, we
are shocked, Mr Ruto stated.
Mr Rugut, the director general
of the National Youth Service was
transferred and replaced by Dr Nel-
son Githinji, causing an uproar within
the URP.
The Bomet governor told Mr Ruto
to listen to the voice of the people and
warned him that the region is unhappy
with the Jubilee government.
The governor also accused Elgeyo
Marakwet Senator Kipchumba
Murkomen and his Kericho counter-
part Charles Keter of masterminding
the wave of impeachment motions
against governors in the region.
We have come to learn that the
impeachment of Prof Paul Chepkwony
was initiated by one of the senators,
he said, adding, the same senators
are behind threats against Elgeyo
Marakwet Governor Alex Tolgos and
Baringos Benjamin Cheboi.
But Mr Murkomen denied he and
Mr Keter are involved in the plots
against the governors.
It is an insult to the MCAs to
claim they are being pushed. This is
an indication that some of this gov-
ernors have no respect for County
Assemblies, the senator said.
Yesterday, Nandi Hills MP Alfred
Keter accused Jubilee of discriminating
against Rift Valley civil servants.

jobs to make way for other people. We

Musalia says give
county rule time
BY NATION REPORTER
UDF Party Leader
Musalia Mudavadi
has cautioned against
changing laws on county
government saying pro-
posed amendments would
derail devolution.
Mr Mudavadi (below)
said Kenyans should be
cautious about such propos-
als and asked leaders to be
patient with counties.
Devolution and county
governments are like a baby
trying to walk and any at-
tempt to amend the law
on county governments
are like cutting the babys
legs, he said.
Lets rst nurture the
baby to walk before we
criticise the way it walks.
He was reacting to a
recent proposal by the
Council of Governors for
amendment of some 25
Acts, which its mem-
bers perceive to be
a hindrance to
devolution and op-
eration of county
governments.
The former Dep-
uty Prime Minister
said amendments to
curtail county
a s s e mb l y
members
power to
i mpeach
gover-
nors and create county
boards are premature.
He spoke in Lamu dur-
ing a UDF retreat called to
restructure the party.
The new structure in-
corporated MCAs into the
partys national organs.
As the party of devo-
lution, you must uphold
accountability for your
actions and should not
be seen to undermine the
spirit of devolution, he
told the county ward rep-
resentatives at the close of
the retreat.
Mr Mudavadi launched
the Party County Gov-
ernment Group, which
comprises MCAs and
governors.
The MCAs nominated
four representatives to the
National Executive Council,
another four to the Politi-
cal Council, and a
whip to both
organs.
He also said
that the party
would be re-
branded.
Village chiefs
hiring hits
road block
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Counties will have to wait longer
before employing village adminis-
trators.
The Transition Authority chair-
man, Mr Kinuthia Wamwangi, said
those that had started the employ-
ment will have to terminate it until
a clear denition of the village is
determined.
He said there was need for coun-
ties to map villages within their
boundaries and pass a governing
Act in their assemblies before the
administrators are hired.
The hiring will not take place
until we agree on what a village
is and its boundaries. There is
currently nothing demarcated as
villages in the laws governing
boundaries, Mr Wamwangi said.
In an interview with the Nation
yesterday, he said the process was
necessary to avoid confusion in fu-
ture. He said failure to streamline
village administration will have
negative implications in the run-
ning of counties.
We do not want to assume things
and end up having counties operat-
ing in a vague environment. The
county assemblies will, therefore,
have to pass an Act on agreeable
guiding principles before village
administrators are ushered in,
he said.
Kisumu County Secretary
Humphrey Nakitari said the proc-
ess of mapping out villages was
going on.
We are mapping them out before
presenting a report to the assembly.
It is not a one-day aair, but our
main concern is to follow the law,
he said.

to pass an Act on agreeable

Plan to inspect trucks on killer road
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Heavy trucks will undergo
mandatory inspection on a
Nakuru-Eldoret highway killer
stretch in an eort to reduce
road accidents.
The vehicles and drivers will
be checked to ensure that they
comply with trac rules before
proceeding towards Nakuru via
the accident-prone Kibunja-
Salgaa stretch.
National Transport and
Safety Authority chairman
Lee Kinyanjui said this when
he toured the 12-kilometre
stretch. He said the govern-
ment had already acquired
land to accommodate more
than 200 vehicles at a go.
Drivers tired
We have noticed that vehi-
cles involved in accidents are
often faulty or their drivers
tired, he said at Kibunja while
handing over a patrol vehicle.
Mr Kinyanjui also announced
the launch of an NTSA patrol
van to ensure all trac oend-
ers are brought to book as a
preventive measure.
Mr Kinyanjui said road
design work on the alterna-
tive lane for heavy trucks was
under way.
Officers from NTSA and
trac police will patrol the
route and give updates on a
daily basis, NTSA director-
general Francis Meja said.
Mr Kinyanjui also noted that
vehicles driving downhill often
used climbing lanes instead.
They are often freewheeling
and risk colliding head-on with
oncoming cars, he said.

A
court case challeng-
ing construction of
the multi-billion shil-
ling standard-gauge railway
will start afresh after a judge
passed on the le to his su-
perior.
Activists Okiya Omtatah
and Wyclie Gisebe had de-
manded that Justice David
Majanja quit the case. He
transferred the case les to
Mr Justice Isaac Lenaola.
The activists had claimed
the judge was delaying the
case.
The petitioners are accus-
ing me of delaying the matter
although the proceedings
show that it has not been de-
layed. Their allegation lacks
factual basis and is frivolous.
I nd their application as an
abuse of the court process and
transfer the le to the presid-
ing judge of the division, the
judge ruled.
Justice Majanja, who was
recently moved to the Homa
Bay High Court, and is sup-
posed to report next week, did
not say why he stepped down
from handling the matter.
The judge gave the direc-
tions as Attorney-General
Githu Muigai opposed a
similar petition by the Law

to stop construction of the
railway project.
State Counsel Mwangi
Njoroge said the application
by LSK was unmerited,
lacked substance and (was)
only meant to embarrass the
government before Chinese
Prime Minister Li Keqiang
when he visited the country.
Most of the allegations are
based on misleading informa-
tion and without any evidence
of corruption.
Violates Constitution
Their claims have not
established any defect in the
procedure used to award the
contract to China Road and
Bridge Corporation.
LSK wants to stop the
Kenya Railways Corporation
from proceeding with the
contract, arguing, the tender
award violates the Constitu-
tion.
The LSK claimed that the
Chinese company does not
have the necessary qualica-
tions, capacity, experience
and resources to construct
the railway.

County security boss charged with contempt in land suit
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kiambu County police com-
mander James Mogera has been sued
for failing to enforce a court order
requiring the eviction of President
Kenyattas relative from a disputed
plot in Ruiru.
The officer is accused of
ignoring the order and an accompa-
nying notice of penal consequences
served on him on February 24 after a
judge overruled the directors of Muiri
Coee Estate, Captain Kungu Mui-
gai and politician Ngengi Muigai,
over the dispute. He ordered them
to vacate the 443 acre property, which
they had oered as collateral against
a bank loan, but was auctioned to a
bidder after they failed to repay.
The High Court yesterday certied
the suit against Mr Mogera as urgent
and set June 5 as the hearing date.
Captain Muigai and Mr Ngengi
have been unsuccessful in blocking
the transfer of the property to Bidii
Kenya Limited, having lost succes-
sive court battles against the Kenya
Commercial Bank and the buyers of
the property and were subsequently
ordered to surrender vacant posses-
sion of the land to the defendants.
KCB sold the 443 acres Muiru
Coee Estate for Sh70 million on
September 17 2007, but the rms
directors argued that the land was
well over Sh700 million worth.
The suit property was sold to Bidii

tion on September 17 2007.
Abduction
case ocer
seeks review
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A CID ocer charged with ab-
ducting Embu County Assembly
Speaker Kariuki Mate now wants
the DPP to review his case le,
saying, he was a victim of pressure
from State House and members of
the public.
Mr Nicholas Muriuki Kangangi,
who through lawyer Julius Anyoka,
has denied any links with the Speak-
ers four-day disappearance, said
that preliminary indicators were
clear that authorities were under
immense undue pressure from State
House, the political class and to
some extent the media and public
to rush the decision to prematurely
charge him.
Found stranded
Mr Mate was on Thursday night
found near St Pauls University in
Limuru by a truck driver, who drove
him to Gigiri Police Station.
The police took him to the Aga
Khan University Hospital where he
was admitted.
Details of his ordeal have,
however, not been released with
police saying that any disclosure
may interfere with ongoing inves-
tigations.
We have, upon instruction,
perused statements and formed
an opinion that the case did not
meet the threshold of sustaining
any oence known in law, let alone
the oence of abduction, Mr An-
yoka said.
The police ocer appeared for
a mention of the case yesterday
and was ordered to report to the
county CID commander for the
next two days.
The case will be heard on July 9.
Mr Muriuki was freed on a bond of

A

awarded Sh200,000
in damages.
Mr Joseph Njuguna Njoroge
was beaten and his right lower
eyelid torn after he was ar-
rested alongside three friends
by the police in Kiambu on
March 11.
Mr Njoroge subsequently
sued the Attorney General,
Inspector General of Police
and the Director of Public
Prosecutions.
He maintained that his right
to dignity, freedom, security and
fair administrative action had
been violated by the police.
Mr Justice David Majanja
agreed with him that the
manner in which he and his
friends were arrested was not
proper.
The judge said police had
the responsibility of maintain-
ing law and order, preventing
and detecting crime and ar-
resting offenders but that
must be done in accordance
with the law.
Arrest of suspects must
be in accordance with the
Constitution, not arbitrary
and without a just cause. I
nd that Mr Njoroge has es-
tablished a likelihood that he
was assaulted by a police of-
cer while he was in custody,
said Justice Majanja.
Besides the compensation,
the judge said Mr Njoroges
rights were violated and directed
that costs for the case be taken
care of by the sued parties.
Mr Njoroge told the court
how he, together with Mr
Joseph Munyui, Mr Cyrus Nene
and Mr Joseph Mwirigi met at a
hotel in Banana for coee after
work. While walking home at
9pm, they were stopped by
four armed ocers.
He asked why they were
being arrested and one of the
ocers responded by beating
him and told him not to show
them how to do their work.
He said the same ocer at-
tempted to hit him on the back
of his head with his left hand.

M
ercy Nerima, 26, was full of joy
when she landed a new job in
the leafy Kileleshwa suburbs of
Nairobi, a week after leaving her old job.
The couple had an eight-year-old son and
Mercy was determined to give the new
job her best.
Even though the woman of the house
was a heavy drinker who would often stay
out until late in the night, Mercy did not
have any problem with it nor other aspects
of her job.
However, less than three months down
the line, her employer began to stay out
longer, and at one point, was away an entire
week. That is when her husband turned
his attention to Mercy.
The sexual harassment started subtly.
However, the initially harmless compli-
ments about her clothes and her work
quickly escalated into undisguised demands
for sex, which Mercy turned down.
Sensing rejection, the man took oence.
He started picking quarrels over petty is-
sues and demanding that she opens the
gate for him no matter how late at night
he returns home.
He would use the opportunity to be overt
with his advances.
Mercy overlooked her employers lecher-
ous ways until the day he threatened her.
He chose a day when his wife and son
were away. He then cornered me and told
me that if I did not sleep with him, he would
do something bad to me. I got scared. I
did not wait to nd out what he intended
to do. I ran out of the house and sought
refuge from the guards.
She left her employment the following
day, leaving her salary behind.
She is currently looking for a new job.
Mary Nduku, also 29, has a similar story
to tell. She too quit her job for a couple
in Langata after the man started making
sexual advances at her, which she tried
to rebu.
Sensing her husbands interest in Mary,
her employer grew resentful and started
mistreating Mary. Things took a turn for
the worst when Mary atly turned down
the mans sexual advances.
He did not take the rejection kindly and
started bad-mouthing Mary to his wife.
Mary quit her job soon after, leaving her
pay behind. That was two months ago.
If they are anything to go by, the ac-
counts of Mercy and Mary show that just
as there are househelps who would not
hesitate to steal from their employers, or
even worse, take o with their children,
there are employers from hell, men and
women who subject their hired help to
untold mistreatment.
Ironically, the same people expect the
househelps to do a good job, and more
importantly, treat their children like they
would their own.
The fact is that stories like Mercys
and Marys are common. For every irre-
sponsible househelp, there is an equally
bad employer who has not only taken her
employee for granted, but goes to great
lengths to make their work environment
unbearable. Most of these girls complain
about employers who make them work even
when they are sick, says Rose Mwangi,
who runs Naava Service Solutions, a rm
that trains househelps.
Pay is another issue, with some employ-
ers settling their househelps dues late, in
instalments, or in extreme cases, refusing
to pay them altogether.
Most of these young women do not be-
come househelps by choice, so to begin
with, they are already carrying a lot of
baggage. When they get an employer who
never, or rarely arms them, it crashes the
little self-esteem they have, she said.
Its a miserable life for
some house assistants

Househelp who drives family car and takes annual leave
BY NATION REPORTER
Not all relationships between
househelps and their bosses are
bad. There are those who have
nurtured a humane relationship
with their workers, and as a
result, have managed to stay
with one for years.
Purity Makena, 27, is one
such employer. She hired her
current househelp, Mueni
Nguni, 49, almost two years
ago. Theirs is a happy story
that has deed the usual em-
ployer-employee drama, and
matured into friendship.
I was pregnant with my
rst born when I hired Mueni,
says Makena. Mueni did not
disappoint. She was a mother
of three, had extensive expe-
rience as a househelp, was
tidy, trustworthy, honest and
humble. The background
check Makena did on her did
not turn up anything suspicious
and she had excellent recom-
mendations from her former
employer. She is a very good
person, and is excellent with
my son, who is now almost two.
Sometimes she even tries to
mother me, Makena says with
a chuckle.
Mueni has proved to be
so trustworthy, that Makena
entrusts her with the respon-
sibility of monthly shopping
and even gives her emergency
money to spend on any miscel-
laneous household expenses.
In addition, she even enrolled
her in a driving school. This
means that when Makena is
unable to, her househelp runs
the errands.
Pay fees
For Makena, teaching Mueni
to drive was a necessity, and
she does not think of it as a
luxury.
One rainy night while I was
out of town, my son contracted
a fever, she narrates. My car
was in the drive way, but Mueni
had to beg our neighbour to
drive her and the baby to hos-
pital, by which time my sons
condition had become so bad,
he was almost convulsing.
That experience shook
her so badly, that a few days
later, she enrolled Mueni in
a driving school. One of the
most fullling aspects of this
relationship is the fact that
Makena pays school fees for
one of Muenis children, a Form
Two student.
She has done this since the
boy joined Form One, and she
intends to continue educating
him up to university level,
whether or not Mueni will
still be working for her.
Makenas househelp gets
two weeks o in December.
Sundays are her day-os.
Ruling: A court ruling in
December 19, 2012, gave
domestic workers the same
status as other employees
whose rights are enshrined
in the Employment Act of
2007. Ruling in a case in
which a househelp had sued
her employer for breach of a
verbal contract, Lady Justice
Monica Wanjiru Mbaru said:
A verbal contract is a con-
tract that can confer rights
and can be enforced.
Settlement: Mr Sadfar
Mohamed Khan had hired
Mrs Robai Musinzi to work
at his Lavington home in
Nairobi through a verbal
agreement promising to
pay her Sh11,000 per month
but dismissed her after 50
months of service. Mr Khan
was ordered to pay Mrs
Musinzi one month salary in
lieu , house allowance and
Sh44,000 in accrued leave.
In total, Mrs Musinzi walked
away with Sh175,533.

A
company contracted to deliver
printers during last years
General Election is seeking
Sh270 million from the electoral
commission.
Mr Basil Mark Serrao, the manag-
ing director of Oce Technologies
Limited, told court yesterday the com-
mission received printers that aided
in tallying results, but has since failed
to pay for the goods.
Actions by the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Commis-
sion (IEBC) have denied my client
the use and benet of the contractual
sum to its detriment, lawyer Gitonga
Mureithi said.
He added that a common ground
had been established for a sum of
Sh220.4 million with an interest of
30 per cent from March 14, 2013, the
last day payment for the tender was
expected in full. The interest increased
the total sum to Sh270 million.
Mr Mureithi asked the court to
make a judgment on the matter
saying that IEBC admitted to owing
Oce Technologies the initial tender
amount and interest and sought to
strike out a defence statement led
by IEBC on March 12, 2014.
The IEBC has equivocally admitted
the debt as claimed. Their statement
of defence is scandalous, frivolous and
vexatious, Mr Mureithi said.
But the IEBC legal aairs manager
Mahamud Mohamed Jabane, denied
the claims saying the printers did not
match the required specications.
The IEBC will tender evidence to
show that the goods supplied diered
in a material way from those specied
in the tender, Mr Jabane said.
He said the printers were available
for collection by Oce Technologies
from the IEBC warehouse should they
deem it necessary.
And Mr Wilfred Mutubwa, the IEBC
lawyer, said failure of the company
to deliver goods as per the specica-
tion constituted a fundamental breach
which discharges the electoral com-
mission from making payment.
According to papers led in court,
Mr Jabane refuted claims that IEBC
admitted to owing the company
Sh220 million plus a 30 per cent
interest which they said was not ap-
plicable as it is over-quoted.
However IEBC and Oce Tech-
nologies agreed that payment was
dependent on approval and receipt
of funds by the National Treasury.
Ruling will be on July 11.
Firm seeks Sh270m from IEBC

IEBCs actions have denied

benet of the contractual sum
to its detriment.
Both delivery and default in pay-
ing have never been disputed
by IEBC
IEBC interpretation of the con-
tract is skewed and oends the
principles of laws of contract.
IEBC claims fundamental breach
on specications one year after
receiving the goods and using
the printers supplied for vote

Antics of our leaders
becoming too crude
P
olitical leaders are public ocials and
everything they do outside the connes of
their own homes will always attract interest.
In fact, until they retire to bed, they should
consider themselves to be under the spotlight and
conduct themselves with proper decorum.
However, this prudence has, on too many
occasions, been breached by individuals who
believe they can do or say anything they want
without attracting opprobrium.
Since last year, there have been reports of
politicians ghting in hotel rooms, slapping one
another in public, and now the latest, reports of a
confrontation involving the followers of two of the
more colourful personalities in city politics during
which gunshots were red in a Nairobi club.
While we do not know enough about this
altercation, it was probably not spontaneous, which
raises the question about how one leader can plot
to upstage another in public, and to what ends.
This absence of manners is dangerous because
such confrontations could turn bloody. Let leaders
conduct themselves with decorum at all times.
And talking of lack of manners, a number of
dignitaries in the opposition Cord alliance have
organised two rallies on successive weekends to
denounce the iniquities of the Jubilee government.
While the Constitution guarantees freedom of
association, speech and all the other fundamental
rights, the choice of language employed during
those meetings has left a lot to be desired.
We have no quarrel with the sentiments
expressed, but some of the politicians, instead
of making their arguments in a cogent manner,
resorted to direct insults.
This manner of delivering a message may be
popular with some Kenyans, but in the end, it will
be lost in the cacophony. Our leaders must learn to
wage their political wars in a civilised manner.
Proposal on Helb unwise
T
he publication of the Universities Act
2012 has ushered in a new dawn in higher
education, rst by creating new institutions
to manage various components of the sector.
However, the Higher Education Loans Board
(Helb), which was established in 1996 to nance
students pursuing university and tertiary education,
was never quite touched in the reforms.
Clearly, this explains why plans are afoot to give
Helb powers to operate as a bank to disburse and
recover loans from beneciaries.
The principle is to create an organisation that can
eectively operate as a true nancial institution,
acknowledging that as currently constituted, the
board has limitations in loan recoveries.
Broadly, the proposal makes business sense. The
whole essence of the loans board is to provide a
sustainable source for funding university students.
But when it becomes a bank and doubles the
interest rate to 8 per cent with collateral to boot,
the move may negate the objective of its creation,
namely to support students from poor households.
Funding models with strict recovery systems
exist elsewhere. The government should reconsider

T
he travel advisories
issued by the US,
British, French,
Canadian and Australian
governments discouraging
their citizens from visiting
Kenya was obviously a
coordinated manoeuvre
aimed at crippling our
tourism industry.
It was all part of the
sustained economic
sabotage by Western
powers in fullment of the
choices have consequences
warnings ahead of the
General Elections.
Kenyans ignored the
threats and voted for
President Kenyatta and
Deputy President Ruto,
though the two leaders
were facing indictment by
the International Criminal
Court.
The ICC prosecutions
were obviously part of
the Western game plan
to deny leadership to the
nationalist son of Kenyas
rst President, Mzee Jomo
Kenyatta, who had brought
down the mighty British
Empire with the Mau Mau
insurgency.
The Western powers
did not want another
Kenyatta in power, who
would challenge their neo-
imperialist designs, and
would do anything to ensure
the election went to his
main rival, Raila Odinga.
The economic sabotage
now being visited on
Kenya is all part of the
regime-change agenda
directed from London
and Washington, aimed
at toppling the elected
leadership, and replacing it
with puppets and lackeys.
The travel warnings
were just one element of
a coordinated assault that
intends to make Kenya
insecure and ungovernable.
If the Western powers had
the advance knowledge to
pull tourists out of Kenya
just before the attack at the
Gikomba market, then they
must have been the ones
behind the explosions.
It probably is no
coincidence that Cord
leader, Mr Odinga, has
been on a long and largely
unexplained sojourn in
the US, obviously getting
instructions from his
masters on the next phase
of the plot to overthrow the
government.
Cord has come out of
slumber to launch a series
of public rallies ahead
of Mr Odingas return,
seeking to exploit the
state of insecurity and the
Anglo Leasing payments
in furtherance of the plot
against the government.
Many have conveniently
forgotten that the Anglo
Leasing scandal was not
created by the Uhuru-Ruto
regime, but was inherited
from an administration,
which Mr Odinga served as
Prime Minister.
The Western plots against
the popular government
include engineering last
weeks demonstrations
by university students,
which were then given
suspiciously prominent
front-page picture and story
treatment by major Western
newspapers and TV stations.
That is the extent to
which the West will go in
its nefarious plots against
Kenya, given added impetus
by alarm over the wildly
successful State visit by
Chinese Prime Minister
Li Keqiang, who lavished
goodies on Kenya.
If the Western bloc, used
to having Kenya as a lapdog,
has been uncomfortable
with the Kenyan leadership,
the Chinese visit
demonstrated that the look
east policy is moving ahead
at full-steam and bringing
great dividends, hence the
state of urgency fuelling the
regime-change plan.
This is the asinine
narrative spun by the
Jubilee propaganda mill.
The crazy thing is that this
absolute balderdash is not
only being lapped-up by the
unquestioning party faithful,
it is also gaining currency in
fairly respectable circles.
It is making its way from
rabble-rousing blogs into
the mainstream media, and
it seems part of a grand
scheme to mobilise the
faithful against imagined
external enemies.
We have seen, for
instance, pro-Jubilee
demonstrations in Nakuru,
where the cardinal message
was that any Cord rallies
in the county would be
violently countered.
We have seen the Jubilee
social media machine used
to incite the faithful into
frenzy against local and
foreign enemies, complete
with threats of violence
against Western interests in
Kenya as well groups seen
to be anti-government.
Ultimately, the message
that is being sent out is that
the threats Kenya faces,
most notably the runaway
insecurity and an economy
headed south, are actually
caused by the opposition
and Western powers.
Across parts of central
Kenya and the Rift
Valley region, the Jubilee
strongholds, ignorant
villagers are being primed
to believe that all those
bombings blamed on Al-
Shabaab are actually part of
the same plot to shake the
Uhuru-Ruto regime. This is
scary stu.

WE ARE UNBOWED | Muriithi Ndegwa
K
enyas tourism sector
is facing a myriad
challenges ranging from
insecurity, poaching, adverse
foreign travel advisories
and competition from other
destinations.
At the crux of this
unfortunate turn of fortunes
is the recent spate of terror
attacks targeting public
transport, hotels, markets and
places of worship in Nairobi
and Mombasa.
Kenyas military campaign
in Somalia to stabilise the war-
torn nation and free it from
the throes of Al-Shabaab is
being used by the terrorists
as an excuse to unleash their
carnage on Kenyans.
As testimony to the futility
of terrorists dastardly actions,
Kenyans have collectively
refused to bow to the cult of
terror, hence the desperation
on the part of criminals who,
driven by cowardice, choose
to harm innocent men, women
and children.
Terror has without doubt
aected the tourism sector
negatively. But I am certain
the sector will weather these
trying times and recover from
the slump of the past years.
Kenyas tourism sector has
risen from the ashes of past
crises to emerge stronger
than ever. It weathered
the challenges of the tribal
clashes of the 1990s, the 1998
American Embassy bomb
blast, the 2002 Kikambala
terror attack and the 2007/8
post-election violence.
Indeed, the sector has
time and again demonstrated
the robustness to surmount
the harsh cyclic impact of
devastating events such as the
ones I have cited above. So, to
say that Kenyas tourism will
recover is not far-fetched but
grounded on past experience.
The contribution of
the tourism sector to the
Kenya Vision 2030 national
development roadmap cannot
be over-emphasised. Tourism
accounts for about 11 per cent
of the Gross Domestic Product
and remains one of the largest
foreign exchange earners.
It is true that the sector has
recorded a decline in the past
years. For instance, the sector
posted a two per cent drop
in earnings in 2013 at Sh93.9
billion compared to Sh96
billion in 2012, which was still
lower than the record Sh97.9
billion it posted in 2011.
A combination of factors
including insecurity, Value
Added Tax, unfavourable travel
advisories by governments
in some key source markets,
have constrained the sectors
growth.
To accelerate the sectors
recovery, the government
has committed to allocate
Sh200 million to support
various initiatives targeted
at boosting tourist arrivals
and showcasing the countrys
unique attractions to an
international audience through
the Kenya Tourism Board.
To spearhead the recovery,
Tourism Cabinet Secretary
Phyllis Kandie recently
appointed a Tourism Recovery
Committee comprising various
industry experts and investors.
In addition, the government
has put in place enhanced
security measures.
The tourism sector has not
been left behind. Security
checks and surveillance have
been stepped up in hotels
and other tourist facilities to
ensure our guests are safe
during their entire stay in
Kenya.
The message that KTB sent
out to the world at the recent
Indaba Tourism Fair in South
Africa, which attracted over
10,000 exhibitors, is that
Kenya is a safe place to visit.
Besides responding
decisively to the security
challenges in collaboration
with the government and
other stakeholders, the
tourism sector and KTB
have diversied the product
oering to include adventure,
sports and golf tourism on
top of the authentic wildlife
safari and beach destination
packages.
Regionally, Kenya is working
with its neighbours to develop
a common marketing plan
to promote East Africa as a
single tourist destination.
Some of the key initiatives
include the launch of
a single tourist visa, a
common tourism logo, and
joint participation at key
international marketing
exhibitions such as the
World Travel Market and
International Tourism Bourse.
KTB has also been
promoting the Tembea Kenya
initiative aimed at encouraging
Kenyans to tour their country.
We are also working closely
with the media to achieve this
goal.
Recently, we sponsored a
local media familiarisation trip
aimed at showcasing some of
the tourism attractions that
Nairobi and its neighbouring
counties of Machakos, Kajiado,
Kiambu and Nakuru have to
oer.
We appeal to all
stakeholders, more so
Kenyans, to support the
tourism sector during this
hour of need. One can check
out www.magicalkenya.com for
more information. Kenyas
tourism industry will recover.

n the recent past, matters of
governance have picked up pace.
Not only has the President barrelled
through the China deal on the SGR, he
has also roped in the other East African
presidents with a stake in the railway.
While the contentious deal was
being fast-tracked, the President was
returning to glory the crown princes and
princesses of yore now known as county
commissioners.
The average citizens understanding
of the law is scanty. Not so the spirit.
Kenyans were very clear what they wanted
or did not want in the new Constitution.
Top among the things the people did
not want were a centralised government,
corruption, and disregard for human life.
Kenyas recent history places many
violations of basic human rights at the
gate of the countrys highest oce. In
pre-independence days, this would be
the oce of the Governor-General sitting
at present-day State House. In the days
of British occupation, oppression of
indigenous peoples was a given matrix.
Subjugation was a strategy in the
occupiers scheme of things. Indeed, other
immigrants who were not British were
placed just below the occupiers in the
pecking order but above the indigenous
populations.
The reasons for this are varied, but
foremost was that these immigrant
communities were no threat to colonial
rule. Some like the Indian immigrants
thrived commercially, for the English
master was preoccupied with matters
of governance and infrastructure
development. Others whose hue was
perceived to be not too indigenous aspired
to be included in this second-tier of
citizen. The Somali community has lived
to rue this misperception.
These issues; together with exclusion
from land ownership, disenfranchisement,
discrimination in the workplace on the
basis of colour and widespread oppression
birthed the liberation struggle.
These issues were supposed to be
resolved on attainment of independence
in 1963. Sadly, the new leadership had
been compromised so that even as
they took political control, they did not
dismantle all repressive structures.
While the population celebrated the
attainment of independence, the new
rulers while placating the population
with nationalistic fervour, moved fast to
consolidate the colonial structures meant
to subjugate.
Economic empowerment, a key
component in the struggle for self-rule
evaporated in the new dispensation which
saw a reversal of the gains made.
Furthermore, those proponents of a
pro-people, pro-active social agenda, in
the years, 1963 and 1991, did disappear
from the political arena by any number
of ways; assassinations, suspicious
accidents, or incarceration.
The years 1992 to 2010 saw the birth of
a new wave of liberation. Having suered
tyranny from an increasingly oligarchic
leadership, the seams burst and a new
generation of liberation ghters arose
from a disgruntled middle class that
found itself pushed to the periphery. In
the mix were university students, their
lecturers and the clueless hoi polloi.
A lot of water is under the bridge now.
A new Constitution was passed. In it
are entrenched fundamental rights and
principles. Have we been pursuing these?

DEVOLUTION GOOD FOR MEDIA. Just like the
governors and members of the county assemblies, the
media have a big interest in ensuring the success of
the devolved units, being one of the biggest nancial
beneciaries from the system, says Michael Mburu. On
any one day, he adds, his favourite newspaper, which
he doesnt name, gets at least two pages of adverts.
The media have a reason to defend devolution. Truth
be told, they are smiling all the way to the bank.

PANDORAS BOX. By deciding to pay two
shadowy Anglo Leasing companies Sh1.4 billion in
what the government said was an eort to prevent
the auctioning of Kenyas properties overseas, Ruth
Gituma says it has, in fact, opened a Pandoras
Box! Less than a week after the money was wired,
another demand for Sh3.2 billion was led. As
parliamentary Public Accounts Committee chairman
Ababu Namwamba warned, many more are waiting in
the wings to be paid for shady deals. Her contact is
ruthmuhiuha@yahoo.com.
A CAN OF WORMS. For his part, Kennedy Butiko
says the decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta to
authorise the payment of Sh1.4 billion to clear some
of the fraudulent debts arising from the Anglo Leasing
scandal despite spirited protests from the Opposition,
has literally opened a can of worms. Waxing poetic,
he adds: The hyenas and vultures that have for years
devoured the esh of this country are now lining up to
eat the bone marrow. His contact is kennedy.butiko@
yahoo.com.
WEBSITE A DISASTER. The website of the Higher
Education Loans Board has become worse than it was
before it was purportedly revamped last year, says
Nikko Ajuoga. The site, he adds, can longer generate
loan repayment statements on demand, which was
a very useful service. Nikko is also disappointed that
Helb doesnt respond to emails. The Helb needs to
collect money from past beneciaries so that others
can also borrow, but Nikko cant check his balance and
pay by money transfer.
FRUSTRATED BY BARCLAYS. On May 21 at 5pm,
Chris Chabeda tried to withdraw Sh22,000 from his
Barclays Bank account through M-Pesa. His account
was debited but 24 hours later, the money hadnt
come through his phone. It can be very embarrassing
when you have people waiting for payments, notes
Chris. Though he received a message later saying M-
Pesa was experiencing delays, his calls to Safaricom
and Barclays customer care were not answered. It took
over 36 hours to reverse the transaction. His contact is
chabedac@gmail.com.
WHAT NEXT, SUNGLASSES? The recent
unlawful attempt by Inspector-General of Police David
Kimaiyo to have all motorists remove tints from their
car windows on the grounds that they could be used to
conceal criminals, deadly materials or illegal weapons,
has Patrick Mamburi very worried. Says he: At this
rate, I can see the wearing of sunglasses being banned
as well so that peoples eyes are visible at all times.

YESTERDAYS QUESTION
Should teachers be barred from engaging in any other business?
PATRICE LUMUMBA: Yes, if there
is conict of interest. But if a teacher
has a business that doesnt engage
him or her directly such as rental
houses, then there is no problem.
ASH VALLI: Yes, if they are paid as
well as our ministers.
ZERUBBABEL MALUKI: If the
business will not demand time that
should be spent in the classroom
teaching, then teachers can engage
in other protable ventures.
JARED MOSETI: The draft code of
conduct for teachers lacks creativity
to motivate the teachers to feel that
they are the basic human capital for
any prosperous country. Teachers are
human beings, just like all others pro-
fessionals, so the code should apply
across the board.
DANCEL KIRUI: Teachers should
be allowed to run other businesses.
KELVIN WAMAGANA: No. Teach-
ers, like any other government em-
ployees, are citizens who have their
rights. They should engage in busi-
nesses that contributes to the growth
of our economy.

lthough we have made
progress as a country, the
baggage of yester-years
weighs heavily on our shoulders.
The tragedy is that the more we
try to shake it o, the heavier it
becomes.
What started as magendo
smuggling coee from Uganda
in the 1970s is now deeply in-
stitutionalised and has become a
monster creating mistrust in every
public endeavour; we can no longer
distinguish between falsehood and
truth. And at the butchers, we of-
ten pay for donkey meat!
On February 18, a Cabinet Sec-
retary said the country loses Sh90
million every month paying ghost
workers. A full audit report on the
ghost workers was promised, so we
can only await it.
Meanwhile, another Sh131 billion
is lost every year through malprac-
tices by unscrupulous exporters
and importers, according to the
Global Financial Integrity report.
Drugs are a menace
And whereas Kenyans are gener-
ally in agreement that drugs are a
menace to our society, the drug
barons see them as a quick way of
becoming rich. It is not Wanjiku,
Moraa or Adhiambo who is behind
this, but some well-connected peo-
ple in our society.
Heroin worth Sh25 billion was
intercepted near our coastline on
April 24; another haul with a street
value of Sh13 billion was seized in
December 2004. At the same time,
the number of Kenyans dying from
illicit brews continues to grow.
Cheating in exams has become
an industry in itself, and employers
are not sure whether certicates
presented to them are genuine; a
background check has to be done.
Cases of fake title deeds have led
many to lose their investments; a
case in point is the Syokimau and
Eastleigh demolitions of November
2011. More demolitions are in the
pipeline.
Courts have not helped much;
Cicero said justice is not matter
of reading the law, but using it as
a guide to reach the best possible
conclusion. Government ocials
who misuse their powers ought to
be held accountable for their mis-
deeds, but this rarely happens.
The urge to get rich quickly is our
undoing; we hear many half-truths
almost every day. A professional
who does not uphold ethics is a
liability, since ethics is the cement
of society.
Now some Kenyans are praying
for the country, yet prayer alone is
not enough. It has to be accompa-
nied by action. We have become a
praying nation.
We can pray, but a society with-
out ethics cant stand for long, Its
centre cannot hold, and it starts to
fall apart as anarchy takes centre-
stage. Either truth triumphs or
falsehood brings the nation down.

Hotel workers must change their attitude towards local tourists
Last week, President Kenyatta unveiled measures
to make Kenyans visit our tourist facilities in view of
the declining numbers of tourists from our traditional
European markets. Whereas these are commendable,
a lot needs to be done to lure locals tourists.
The attitude of the owners and employees of these
establishments have to change for Kenyans to feel ap-
preciated. Right from the gatekeepers of these facili-
ties to the top managers, discrimination against the
African tourist is so rampant that many able Kenyans
lose interest. If you are an African and you visit a
beach hotel without driving, the watchman at the gate
will turn you away, but when a mzungu dressed casu-
ally does the same, the same watchman will in fact
salute him as he quickly opens the gate!
Should you be lucky to get past the watchman, the
waiters will indeed be waiting to make your stay a
nightmare. A local tourist is regarded as stingy when
it comes to tips, so the waiters avoid serving them
with the same enthusiasm they accord foreigners.
There are instances where local tourists wait for
hours before being served, as the waiters scramble to
serve the forex-loaded mzungu.
Hotel owners and their employees must also
change their attitude towards residents otherwise no
matter what incentives the President gives, it will be
an exercise in futility.

My advice to this good president

It seems to me that he has a selec-
tive reading of the Bible, and he is
picking on certain texts for the sake

The Bible often describes God in
human attributes in order to lead
us; we must not think that these
descriptions are to be understood as
literally true. Harrison should there-
fore not base his understanding of

Getting the biblical message requires

Tourism is Kenyas second foreign

The government is exploring domes-

issued by the West have political
undertones, there is a real security
threat in Kenya. The frequency of

Youth group to the rescue of starving family
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
A youth group in Nairobi has
donated foodstu to a family
in Baringo County that was in
the news recently for feeding
on a cat.
The visit by the Githurai
Nyanya Self-Help Group to Ka-
koghit Village in Tiaty caught
the family by surprise and lit
up their faces with joy.
The group leader, Mr
Stanley Wainaina, said that
they were touched by the
story, which prompted them
to mobilise resources to assist
the family.
Warning signs
Some donated money to
buy food, while others hired
a vehicle to ferry the food to
the aected family. Our vehicle
broke down several times due
to mechanical problems, but
we are happy that after two
days, we nally managed to
reach the family, Mr Wain-
aina said.
The group that included
Mr Martin Mwangi, Mr Lukas
Karuine, Mr Moses Kiarie, Mr
Peter Gachuka and Mr David
Kibe called on county govern-
ments to give early warning
signs of disasters and hunger
for proper planning.

Kanindo, who died
at the weekend, was
well-known in music circles.
His name was synonymous
with Benga music.
The prominent Nyanza
politician and former as-
sistant minister in the Moi
government, died on Satur-
day at the Aga Khan Hospital
in Kisumu.
Mr Kanindo made a huge
contribution to the develop-
ment of the popular music
genre, whose origin is the
Lake Victoria region.
Mr Kanindo (above) was
perhaps the most famous pro-
ducer of Benga music under
POK Music Stores. He made
many stars who entertained
Kenyans for decades with
the easy, danceable beat that
continues to rule the airwaves
and dance halls.
The former MP, who has
been ailing for a while, has
been out of the limelight, but
he will be remembered as a key
gure in the music revolution
from the 1970s to the 1980s
that produced some of the
biggest hits in Kenya.
Talking about Benga, one
cannot leave out leading
musicians such as DO (Dan-
iel Owino) Misiaini, George
Ramogi, Collela Mazee of
Victoria B. Kings, Paul Orwa
Jasolo, George Ojijo and Awino
Lawi.
These leading proponents of
Benga had a chance of work-
ing with Mr Kanindo and were
rewarded immensely for their
creativity and prowess.
As Kisumu-based musician
and producer Tom Kodiyo put
it, Mr Kanindo had a way of
interacting with Benga musi-
cians.
The flamboyant Kanindo
was linked to EMI Records and
partly AIT, which were some of
the most prominent recording
companies in the 1970s.
Speaking to the Nation in
Nairobi yesterday, Super Maz-
embe band leader Kasongo wa
Kanema said: He had passion
for all kinds of music and was
always available to assist up-
coming musicians.

T
heft of natural resources
is a challenge to poverty
eradication and transition
to green economy, according to
the United Nations.
UN Under Secretary and
UNEP Executive Director Achim
Steiner said activities such as el-
ephant poaching, great ape theft
and illegal transport of timber
hampered eorts towards sus-
tainable development.
The illegal activities jeopard-
ised the lives of law enforcers
and livelihoods of those who
make legal living from the natu-
ral resources, he told European
ministers for environment in
Greece at an informal council
meeting last week.
He delivered the speech ahead
of a major UN meeting that
will take place in Nairobi next
month, where Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon and other high
ranking ocials will discuss
environmental challenges and
emerging issues.
The meeting, which will take
place from June 23 to 27, will be
signicant for Kenya that has
been battling poaching and il-
legal trade in wildlife trophies.
It will be an inaugural United
Nations Environment Assembly
(UNEA). Environment ministers
and government ocials in at-
tendance are expected to focus
on the poaching crisis facing Af-
rican elephants and rhinos and
illegal harvesting and tracking
of timber, sh, tigers, pangolins,
great apes, birds, reptiles, among
others.
Deliberations are intended
to build upon the increasing
international momentum to
tackle illegal trade in wildlife,
said Mr Steiner.
Faces extinction
Meanwhile, cave elephant,
a rare species found in the Mt
Elgon National Park, faces
extinction due to massive
poaching.
In one year, 20 of them have
been killed, Bungoma Gov-
ernor Kenneth Lusaka said
yesterday.
He said security ocers would
be deployed to protect the endan-
gered pygmy elephant.
Roads in the park will be up-
graded to ease accessibility by
security ocers to hunt down the
poachers and enable tourists to
visit the area without encounter-
ing problems, he said.
Mr Lusaka spoke during a
Kenya Wildlife Service forum
at Kapsokwony in Mt Elgon
Sub-county.
Poaching needs to be tack-
led lest it wipes out our wildlife,
which has been a source of for-
eign exchange to the country,
said Mr Lusaka.
He said the county govern-
ment intended to fully exploit
the national park for tourism.
Bungoma County Commis-
sioner Mohamed Maalim said
more game wardens had been
sent to the park after investiga-
tions revealed that poachers
from neighbouring countries
and their local collaborators
were involved in the killing of
elephants.
An inter-agency security
operation to ush them out is
on and the team is equipped
with bullet proof vests, said
Mr Maalim.
The park, which is home to the
black rhino and rare birds and
plants, has also suered from
illegal logging.
Saw millers have been harvest-
ing the rare Elgon Teak , causing
environmental destruction.
In Lamu, a conservation activ-
ist raised concern that wildlife
such as elephants could become
extinct if proper measures to pro-
tect them are not taken.
Speaking at the end of a 375-
kilometre walk in Lamu Town
at the weekend, Elephants
Neighbours Centre Director
Jim Nyamu said four elephants
are killed every day.
He praised a new anti-poach-
ing law enacted early this year,
which prescribes that anyone
found guilty of harming an
endangered species or in pos-
session of elephant tusks shall
be ned Sh20 million or jailed

Pay for cane farmers now to
be pegged on sucrose content
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Sugarcane farmers will be
paid according to the sucrose
content in their produce, the
industrys regulator said yes-
terday.
This is a departure from
the current system where
they are paid for the ton-
nage of cane delivered.
Kenya Sugar Board direc-
tor Billy Wanjala said they
have invited tenders from
eligible entities for the instal-
lation of at least nine cane
testing units.
The system was piloted
at Nzoia and South Nyanza
sugar companies.
The director, who repre-
sents Mumias/Busia region,
said the new system had been
found viable and benecial
to both growers and sugar
rms after a pilot project at
the two factories in the past
three years.
We expect the cane test-
ing units to be fully installed
at sugar factories in the com-
ing 16 months before the new
system can be implemented,
Mr Wanjala told journalists
in Mumias.
He said sta at the sugar
rms will soon be trained
to handle the sucrose test-
ing equipment.
Sugarcane growers had
earlier on asked the regula-
tor to expedite the process
and install the new system to
mitigate against exploitation
by sugar millers.
The newly-introduced
cane varieties have high
sucrose content and farm-
ers stand to benefit from
the system, Kenya National
Sugarcane Union secretary
general Simon Wesechere,
said. The boards director
representing Nzoia zone,
Mr Saulo Busolo, said the
system will render the push
for weighing scales at farm
gates as provided in the
Sugar Act irrelevant.
Given that it is sucrose
that counts and not weight,
the stipulated law is null and
void, he said.
He said KSB played a piv-
otal role in building bridges
and rehabilitating roads in
all sugar growing areas in
partnership with the Euro-
pean Union.
Mr Wanjala said sugar
milling rms must strive to
increase their crushing ca-
pacities. Millers have been
operating below capacity
due to obsolete machines,
he said.
We expect the cane
testing units to be
fully installed at
sugar factories in the
coming 16 months,

mbu Speaker Kariuki
Mate has denied claims
that he engineered his
own kidnapping, saying he was
a victim of severe torture in the
hands of his captors.
Though he would not name the
number of those involved in his
ve-day disappearance, Mr Mate
said police were pursuing several
leads, among them politics.
He said some of the people
who have been quizzed were in
Kerugoya and Garissa.
Mr Mate further denied he
had gone into hiding due to
the looming May 30 ruling in
a case where he has been cited
for contempt of court by the
High Court.
I am not a coward to go to
such extent. If I staged my own
kidnapping, I would have stayed
away until after 30th (the day of
the ruling). I underwent a lot of
pain and suering during that
period. I still have injuries that
are so embarrassing to mention.
I have diculties walking and
Im trying to get to my normal
self. If I staged my own kidnap-
ping, I would not have allowed
the kind of things that I under-
went. Those peddling the rumour
appear to know more and should
explain, he said.
He revealed he had been
poisoned and suered embar-
rassing injuries and could not
walk properly.
He had also stayed without
food and water during his ab-
duction.
Mr Mate said he was in touch
with the police and believed the
real motive would be known
today (Tuesday) or tomorrow
(Wednesday).
He said he felt deserted by
Governor Martin Wambora
and Embu bishops for not vis-
iting him in hospital or wishing
him well.
Mr Wambora a day after the
local bishops had called a meet-
ing to reconcile the MCAs and
the governor, which majority of
the MCAs, including Mr Mate
skipped.
Speaking earlier in an in-
terview with NTV, Mr Mate
maintained a tight lip over
what could have transpired in
his kidnap incident.
I am as eager as every other
Kenyan to know exactly what
happened and what motivated
those who did what they did, he
said when asked to reveal what
happened.
He vanished on Monday
afternoon from Utalii Hotel
Nairobi where he was attend-
ing a seminar only for him to
be found in the wee hours of
Thursday night by farmers in
Limuru, who then brought him
to Gigiri Police Station.
Mr Mate says he has no rec-

wasnt stable. I could not stand

substances, he said

Incitement case on

BY NATION

Former Embakasi MP
Ferdinand Waititu is still on
trial for hate speech in spite
of earlier indications that the
case would be withdrawn.
The prosecution yesterday
said it was ready to proceed
with the case.
It was an apparent about-
turn to earlier sentiments
that the matter would be
resolved out of court after
the politician publicly apolo-
gised and reportedly engaged
in peace-talks with members
of the Maasai community.
Mr Waititu was not present
at the proceedings yesterday
but his lawyer, Mr Cli Om-
beta, said he was unwell and
would table a medical report
on June 3.
The prosecutor Ms Lil-
ian Obuo said the National
Cohesion and Integration
Commission (NCIC) which
brokered the negotiations
between the politician and
Maasai elders had no man-
date to terminate the case.
The matter was being
investigated by police. He
was negotiating with NCIC,
she said.
Mr Waititu is alleged to
have uttered words that led
to the deaths of two people
in Kayole in 2012. He was
immediately relieved off
his duties as an assistant
minister.
In March, the court was
told that he had entered
into an agreement with com-
plainants to put the matter
to rest. The court also heard
that NCIC had written to the
Director of Public Prosecu-
tions (DPP) and was waiting
for a response.

were in court .
Mr Waititu is claimed to

T
he number of hotel workers
sent home due to the slump
in tourism has exceeded 7,500
after about 3,000 more were sacked
in the past week.
The slow business associated with
the traditional low tourist season was
compounded by travel advisories
which were recently issued by the
United Kingdom, the US, France
and Australia.
According to the Kenya Association
of Hotelkeepers and Caterers (KAHC)
Kili county branch chairman Philip
Chai, about 5,000 workers were laid
o in Malindi and Watamu resort
towns as a result of the low season
and the travel warnings.
Many of the workers, he said, were
unlikely to receive their May salaries
as hotels in the two towns had no visi-
tors. Most of those sent home were
either casual labourers and those on
contract.
The tourism sector in Malindi
and Watamu towns is on its knees
due to the low season and the recent
advisories which were issued by the
Western countries, he said. Interna-
tional tourists are hard to come by,
he lamented.
The sector, he added, was facing
a turbulent period since most of the
hotels in Malindi depend on the Ital-
ian tourist source market. However,
he expected the hotels to re-open
between mid-July and October de-
pending on the resumption of Italian
charter ights.
KAHC Coast branch executive
ocer Sam Ikwaye said of the 30
hotels in Kili County aliated to
the association, less than 10 remain
open and they have a bed occupancy
of between 10 and 20 per cent.
Last week, President Uhuru Keny-
atta lifted the ban prohibiting civil
servants from holding meetings in
hotels. He also said private com-
panies would get tax relief on the
money they spend on sta holidays.
The measures were meant to help the
hotels overcome the challenges posed
by the downturn in tourism.
Kenya has also embarked on an ag-
gressive online marketing campaign
to lure more tourists from various
parts of the world, including China,
and to counter the negative publicity
generated by the advisories and recent
grenade attacks.

ereal farmers in Rift
Valley want the gov-
ernment to allocate
more funds for disease control
and insurance cover against
losses caused by natural ca-
lamities.
Yesterday, they challenged
the government to increase
budgetary allocation from
the current three per cent to
10 per cent to tackle factors
blamed for the decline in crop
production and recurrent food
insecurity in the country.
Inadequate funding makes
it dicult to urgently resolve
outbreak of maize diseases like
Lethal Necrosis and cushion
farmers from losses caused
by oods or drought, said
Mr Kipkorir Menjo, Kenya
Farmers Association (KFA)
director during a farmers
meeting in Eldoret Town.
He asked the government
to put in place proper ag-
ricultural policies that will
motivate farmers to increase
crop productivity.
More maize farmers are
likely to abandon cultivation
of the crop due to low returns
regardless of heavy invest-
ment, said Mr Menjo.
At the same time, maize
farmers who suered losses
after the crop was damaged
by drought and diseases have
turned to horticulture, coee
and dairy production as alter-
native source of revenue.
Coee production in Rift Val-
ley has increased substantially.
The region produced 65,618.50
tonnes last year. Horticultural
production has also increased
by huge margins.
They want to be
cushioned from

NAKURU | Dispute looms over transfers
Knut cries foul as
teachers demoted
BY WANJIRU MACHARIA
@wanjirumachari1
lwmacharia@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he Kenya National
Union of Teachers
has protested against
irregular transfer and de-
motion of its members in
Nakuru County.
And the Teachers Service
Commission (TSC) has two
days to revoke the changes
or teachers would boycott
work, according to the unions
Nakuru branch executive sec-
retary, Mr Njau Kuria.
Since January, close to 100
teachers have been trans-
ferred in the county, Mr Kuria
claimed.
Some of these teachers
were transferred in January
and then again when schools
were re-opening in May, which
is not only unfair to the mem-
bers and their families but also
to children and the entire edu-
cation system, said the trade
unionist.
He said teachers could not
monitor pupils progress if
they worked in an institution
for less than one term.
He protested that the TSC
county directors oce had
demoted four headteachers
in the same period and trans-
ferred them to institutions
smaller than their previous
work stations.
The former headteachers
were demoted to assistant
teachers, the lowest rank of
a primary school teacher, yet
they had served as school
managers for more than a
decade.
The worst hit areas were Na-
kuru Municipality and Rongai
sub-county, he said.
Mr Kuria told reporters at
Nakuru Knut oces that 60
teachers, including 12 school
heads, were transferred in
January.
Another 25 transfer let-
ters were sent to different
schools on April 1, aecting
some of those who had been
transferred in January, having
been in their new schools for
less than two months, he said
in the company of other union
ocials.
He accused the TSC of contra-
vening regulations that, he said,
require a teacher to work in one
school for at least ve years.
Nation could not get a com-
ment from the TSC county
director as she was said to
be away.
Some have been
transferred twice
in four months,

Pistorius in
hospital for
mental tests
PRETORIA, Monday
South Africas murder-accused
paralympic hero Oscar Pistorius
today arrived at a psychiatric
hospital to begin up to 30-days
of tests, as ordered by a judge
during his trial.
A car ferrying the double
amputee athlete whisked him
inside the weskoppies psychiatric
hospital, west of pretoria.
Security was tight at the
entrance of the drab red-
brick public hospital, whose
patients often come from poor
backgrounds.
In a bid to avoid media
attention, the athlete ditched the
grey suv vehicle that normally
drives him to court, arriving in a
sedan with tinted windows. There
was no sign of family and friends
who often arrive in court with him
to oer support.
Last week, judge Thokozile
Masipa ruled that the paralympian
sprinter should report to the
hospital as an outpatient every
work day from morning to 1400
gmt from may 26.
The ruling came after a defence
expert witness testied that the 27-
year old who is accused of killing
his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp,
suers from generalised anxiety
disorder.
The judge said Pistorius will
be tested to see whether he
was capable of appreciating the
wrongfulness of his act or acting
in accordance with appreciation of
the wrongfulness of his act.
Pistorius is accused of shooting
dead Steenkamp, a 29-year-old
model, at his Pretoria home after
a row. He says she was killed by
accident after he mistook her for
an intruder. (AFP)

Al-Shabaab issues fresh threats against government
BY ABDULKADIR KHALIF
NATION Correspondent
MOGADISHU, Monday
Sheikh Abdulaziz Abu Musab,
the spokesman of Al-Shabaab, the
Islamist group opposing the Somali
government, vowed yesterday that his
militants will target more government
ocials and state institutions.
Speaking via al-Andalus, a
broadcaster run by the Al-Qaeda
linked movement, Abu Musab said the
resignation of Somalias Minister for
National Security Abdikarim Hussein
Guled on Saturday was an act forced
by Al-Shabaab.
We attacked the so-called
Parliament, touching the very heart
of the murtedeen (a negative reference
of the government officials by Al-
Shabaab), he said.
As a result, we forced the man
designated as the security minister to
publicly declare that his establishment
was defeated by the brave assaults of
our ghters, sarcastically added the
spokesman.
Abu Musab quoted a Somali proverb
I arkaay, I arkaay, I qarshaay ayaa ka
dambaysa (The pride of showing o is
usually followed by timidity of hiding)
to indicate that Minister Guled will
simply disappear in the face of rout.
He vowed that his fanatics will
continue what he called a chain of
attacks. Our series of assaults will
target the remaining (government)
ocials, he threatened.

CAIRO, Monday
E
gyptians voted for a
new president today in
an election expected to
give a landslide victory to the
ex-army chief who ousted the
countrys rst democratically-
elected leader and crushed his
Islamist movement.
The two-day election is the
rst since the frontrunner Abdel
Fattah al-Sisi deposed Islamist
president Mohamed Morsy in
July, a move that unleashed the
bloodiest violence in Egypts
recent history.
Morsys Muslim Brotherhood
is boycotting the vote, as are
revolutionary youths who
fear Sisi is an autocrat in the
making.
But the 59-year-old retired eld
marshall is expected to trounce
his sole rival, leftist Hamdeen
Sabbahi, amid widespread calls
for stability.
Sisi himself voted minutes
after polling opened at 0600
GMT amid a throng of jostling
reporters and supporters. About
53 million people are eligible to
vote in the presidential poll.
The entire world is watching
us, how Egyptians are writing
history and their future today
and tomorrow, Sisi said.
Egyptians must be reassured
that tomorrow will be very
beautiful and great, he said, as
supporters shook his hand and
kissed his cheeks.
Many view the vote as a
referendum on stability versus
the freedoms promised by the
Arab Spring-inspired popular
uprising that ousted veteran
strongman Hosni Mubarak in
2011.
Since the revolution, the
country of 86 million people has
been rocked by sporadic unrest
and a tanking economy.
Mubaraks successor, the
Islamist Morsy, lasted one year
in oce, winning Egypts rst
democratic presidential election
only to quickly alienate many
who held mass rallies demanding
his resignation.
We need someone who speaks
in a determined and strong
way. The Egyptian people are
frightened by this and respect
those who are like this, said Mr
Milad Yusef, a 29-year-old lawyer
waiting to vote in Cairo.
Mr Yusef said he had voted for
Sabbahi in the 2012 election that
Morsy won, but that he would
now back Sisi.
We need someone strong, a
military man, he said.
Sisi has said true democracy
would take a couple of decades,
and suggested he would not
tolerate protests disrupting the
economy. He has also pledged to
eliminate the Brotherhood, which
won every election following
Mubaraks overthrow after being
banned for decades.
The Islamist movement
is boycotting the election,
along with the April 6 youth
movement, which spearheaded
the anti-Mubarak revolt, and
said Sunday it would reject the
outcome.
Forgery will never grant
legitimacy to a butcher nor will
it lessen the determination of
revolutionaries, the Brotherhood
said.
Voting in the pro-Morsy town
of Kerdasa, 35 kilometres (25
miles) southwest of Cairo, was
low as loyalists of Morsi stayed
indoors. Sisi killed youths
and now he is grabbing power.
This is the biggest evidence
that (Morsys ouster) was a
coup, Mohamed Gamal, a law
graduate who boycotted the vote,
told AFP.
Police raided the town in
September after 13 officers
were killed following Morsys
overthrow. (AFP)

HARARE, Monday

Z
imbabwe opposition
leader Morgan Tsvangirai
has revealed that he is
sick after he failed to address
a second rally in as many
weeks.
Mr Tsvangirai, who is ghting
a bid to topple him from the
helm of the main opposition
party, has been holding a series
of rallies in an eort to keep his
party intact.
However, last weekend he
failed to show up for a rally in
the capital Harare and there
were no reasons given for his
no-show. On Sunday he had
been expected to address a
bumper crowd in one of the
capitals poor neigbourhoods
but failed to turn up.
Mr Tsvangirai later posted
a message on social network
site Facebook saying he had
been advised by doctors to
take a rest.
I failed to attend the MDC
Africa Day celebrations at
Zimbabwe Grounds but I hear
it was a blast. Because of illness,
the doctor ordered me to take a
rest, he wrote.
I might be home recuperating
but my thoughts are with
the people of Zimbabwe who
continue to brave the long
and torturous journey to true
freedom and democracy.
Party officials refused to
disclose the nature of Mr
Tsvangirais illness.
But his spokesperson Luke
Tamborinyoka dismissed
rumours that he was suering
from malaria.
The veteran opposition man
has been told to step down
by his lieutenants who say he
has failed to topple President
Robert Mugabe from power,
even though he remains very
popular.
Ironically, the focus last
week was on the 90 year-old
presidents health woes after
a British television station
Channel 4 uploaded a short
video of him entering a cancer
hospital in Singapore.
Mr Tsvangirai has been at the
helm of the main Movement for
Democratic Change (MDC)
since its formation in 1999.
The party split in 2005
after he refused to endorse a
decision to participate in senate
elections
MDC is on the verge of another
split after secretary general and
former Finance minister Tendai
Biti announced last month that
he had suspended Mr Tsvangirai
on charges of corruption and
promoting violence.
Mr Tsvangirais loyalists hit
back by ring Mr Biti and 11
other MPs from the party.

Journalist gunned

A newspaper editor and critic

They said Mr Meftah Bouzid,
editor of the weekly newspaper

often went on television to criti-
cise Islamic extremists, resulting

SA lawmaker Malema dodges tax axe
PRETORIA, Monday
A last-minute deal temporar-
ily saved South African political
rebrand Julius Malema from
losing his parliamentary seat
for failing to pay nearly $2
million in taxes, a lawyer said
today.
Mr Malema (right), who
leads the radical Economic
Freedom Fighters party, had
faced sequestration after a
court declared him provision-
ally insolvent in February.
That would have seen him
booted out of parliament just
days after being sworn in as a
lawmaker. The parties have
agreed to an extension, lawyer
Nic Maritz for the South Afri-
can Revenue Service (SARS)
told a Pretoria court.
He is due back in court on
August 25.
Malema said the countrys
revenue authorities accepted
his compromise proposal to
pay back outstanding tax.
The oer to compromise
took into account the existing
outstanding tax of 18 million
rand ($1.7 million, 1.3 million
euro at current rates), Malema,
33, said in a statement.
The bellicose politician
presents himself as a cham-
pion of the poor and is known
for his rants against the rich
despite his own luxurious
lifestyle.
Malema was accused by the
SARS of failing to submit tax
returns between 2006 and
2010.
Authorities have already
auctioned o some of his as-
sets, including his incomplete
mansion and a farm. (AFP)

LILONGWE, Monday
M
alawi Electoral Commis-
sion (MEC) has reserved
the announcement of the
presidential results for the May 20
presidential election after nishing
tallying the outcome of the elections
and will seek to extend the period of
announcing results to 30 days.
Initially MEC was expected to
release the outcome of the election
within eight days of voting. How-
ever accusations of vote rigging and
irregularities have characterized the
tallying of the elections results forc-
ing MEC to opt for physical recount
of the votes.
MEC chairperson Maxon Mbendera
at the press conference that was held
in the evening of Monday announced
that the commission will not release
the outcome of the elections until they
recount the ballots.
We are committed to free and fair
elections. We understand that the le-
gitimacy of the future leadership of
this country depend on these elec-
tions. We will be asking the court to
extend the period of announcing the
results from eight days to 30 days,
he said.
Confusion has reigned in the Ma-
lawi elections results announcement
as political parties discovered irregu-
larities in 58 centres where number of
people that voted were more than the
number of people registered.
Political parties brought forward
irregularities to the attention of the
Commission where MEC decided that
physical recount of ballot papers must
take place.
However MEC has been facing
injunctions and counter injunctions
of the recount decision with other
political parties stopping MEC from
proceeding with tallying of the results
while other political parties vacating
the injunctions to continue with the
tallying.
We have tallied about 95 per cent
of the votes but we are jot going to
announce the winner until we have
nalised the recounting of the bal-
lots, said.
Mr Mbendera said as a commission
they have received 275 complaints
from the political parties and that
the commission has responded to
170 of the complaints.
We have investigated the inci-
dent and cross check information,
he said.
Mr Mbenderas announcements
met with ululation from Malawi
Congress Party and Peoples Party
and United Democratic Front and
booing from Democratic Progres-
sive Party, the party that is leading
in the elections.
Meanwhile president Joyce Banda
continues to be the president of the
country until the new president is
sworn in. President Banda had al-
leged that people had voted multiple
times, ballots had been tampered with,
presiding ocers arrested.

Obama back home after surprise visit to Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, Monday
President Barack Obama
was back in Washington today
after a lightning 32-hour trip
to Afghanistan to visit US
troops.
Monday is Memorial Day
in the United States, when
military war dead are remem-
bered and military personnel
and veterans are honored. The
president is scheduled to host
a White House breakfast for
veteran groups with top mili-
tary brass in attendance, the
White House said.
Obama landed at Andrews
Air Force Base in nearby
Maryland at 1040 GMT and
soon after arrived in the White
House via helicopter.
The president is also sched-
uled to deliver remarks and
lay a wreath at the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier in Ar-
lington National Cemetery,
the US militarys principal
cemetery. Vice President Joe
Biden will be at the event
along with his wife Jill and
Obamas wife Michelle. The
two women are known for
their work helping military
families. Obama made a cov-
ert night-time trip from the
White House to Bagram Air
Base in Afghanistan aboard a
darkened Air Force One on a
Sunday visit meant to hail the
sacrices of US soldiers.
His four-hour visit provoked
a new spat with outgoing Af-
ghan President Hamid Karzai,
with whom Obama has a
strained relationship.
US ocials said Obama of-
fered to see the Afghan leader
at the sprawling US base but
decided not to go to his pal-
ace in central Kabul. They
did not say how much notice
they had given the Afghan
leader.(AFP)

KIEV, Monday
U
kraines presidential
election largely upheld
democratic commit-
ments and provided the new
leader with the legitimacy
needed to tackle the countrys
separatist insurgency, interna-
tional observers said today.
The electoral and security
authorities of Ukraine should
be commended for their ef-
forts under extraordinary
circumstances to facilitate
an election that largely upheld
democratic commitments,
the Organisation for Security
and Cooperation in Europes
(OSCE) short-term mission
coordinator Joao Soares said.
Sundays vote provides
the new president of Ukraine
with the legitimacy to estab-
lish immediately an inclusive
dialogue with all citizens in the
eastern regions, to restore their
trust and condence, and to
decentralise state power in
order to preserve the unity
of the country by respecting
the diversity of Ukrainian
society, said Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE) mission head
Andreas Gross.
Meanwhile, billionaire
oligarch Petro Poroshenko
(pictured) faces a formidable
task to end the crisis which has
brought Ukraine to the brink of
collapse as he prepared today
to be formally declared the
countrys president.
The pro-Western confec-
tionary tycoon trounced his
rivals and won close to 54 per
cent in Sundays vote, results
published from over half the
constituencies so far showed.
But just hours after his ap-
parent victory, there was a
sharp reminder of the huge
challenges ahead for Poro-
shenko as armed separatists
who refuse to recognise Kievs
legitimacy forced the closure of
the main airport in the rebel-
held eastern city of Donetsk
on Monday.

FEARS | Leader has a reputation as a hardline Hindu nationalist
NEW DELHI, Monday
N
arendra Modi promised to
forge a strong and inclusive
India today after being sworn
in as the 15th prime minister of the
worlds largest democracy.
Ten days after his right-wing
party won the rst electoral major-
ity in three decades, the 63-year-old
former tea boy took the oath of oce
at a lavish ceremony attended by lead-
ers of Indias neighbours, including
Pakistan.
I, Narendra Damodardas Modi,
do swear in the name of God that
I will bear true faith and allegiance
to the Constitution of India as by
law established, Modi said at the
ceremony conducted by President
Pranab Mukherjee.
I swear that I will uphold the
sovereignty and integrity of India
and I swear that I will faithfully and
conscientiously discharge my duties
as prime minister of the Union.
Modi, leader of the right-wing
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has a
reputation as a hardline Hindu na-
tionalist. But in a statement released
as he took the oath, he promised to
govern for all of Indias 1.25 billion
people. As we devote ourselves to
take Indias development journey to
newer heights, we seek your support,
blessings and active participation,
Modi said in the statement on the
prime ministers website.
Together we will script a glorious
future for India, he added.
Let us together dream of a strong,
developed and inclusive India that
actively engages with the global
community to strengthen the cause
of world peace and development.
After Mr Modi took the oath of
oce, senior BJP gures who have
been appointed to his cabinet were
sworn into office. Although their
exact portfolios were not announced,
they included Sushma Swaraj who is
expected to become foreign minister
and Arun Jaitley, tipped to be nance
minister.
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif and Afghan President Hamid
Karzai were among the regional
leaders who attended the ceremony
outside the Indian presidents ocial
residence in New Delhi.
In an interview shortly before the
inauguration, Mr Sharif said Mr
Modis arrival in power represented
a great opportunity for the nuclear-
armed rivals to forge a new era in their
troubled relationship.
This is a chance to reach out to
each other. Both governments have
a strong mandate, Mr Sharif told
Indias NDTV network, according to
a transcript provided by the Pakistan
High Commission. (AFP)

Nine killed in India
passenger train crash
LUCKNOW, India, Monday
A passenger express
slammed into a stationary
freight train in northern
India killing at least nine
people on Monday, as rescu-
ers worked frantically to free
those trapped inside mangled
carriages, ocials said.
The express was travelling
to Gorakhpur city in northern
Uttar Pradesh state when it
collided with the stationary
train at a local station mid-
morning, leaving scores of
passengers injured, ocials
said.
Six carriages were de-
railed in the accident and

glass strewn over the tracks.
Coaches were seen crashed

nearby bushland as crowds
of locals gathered.
Nine deaths are con-
rmed and 95 people have
been injured and theyve been
admitted to the hospitals,
district magistrate Bharat
Lal Rai told AFP from the
crash site.
Rescue workers and medi-
cal teams were racing to cut
open the last remaining
carriages to free those still
trapped and treat the injured,
but their eorts were ham-
pered by a lack of specialist
equipment. (AFP)

Chamber to
get markets
for counties
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Kenya National Chamber
of Commerce and Industry is
consulting with various county
governments to link them up with
niche export markets.
National chairman Kiprono Kit-
tony said counties should tap into
the emerging export markets of
Nigeria, Turkey and Qatar, espe-
cially following President Uhuru
Kenyattas recent visits to those
countries.
We want to link traders and
investors with the counties to tap
into the many resources available
all over the country and diversify
the product range and grow rural
economies, he said in a statement
issued yesterday.
Mr Kittony spoke after a meet-
ing with Kajiado County ocials,
where Governor David Nkindianye
outlined plans to tap into the
emerging export markets after
identifying potential in agriculture
and leather industries.
Vibrant industry
We have received oers from
business ventures keen to set up
base in Kajiado and capitalise on
our vibrant livestock industry, said
Dr Nkindianye.
Mr Kittony said Kajiados
proximity to Nairobi gives it an
advantage in the export trade,
being near the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport.
The national government has
been on a mission to open up
new markets for Kenyan exports,
while boosting the countrys prole
to woo new investors.
Dr Nkindianye said his county
stood to gain from the good that
spills over from the capital city.
He said Kajiado was best placed
to benet from developments such
as the bid to address the housing
shortage in Nairobi.
He cited as examples the satel-
lite towns of Kitengela, Kiserian
and Ngong, which have sprung
up due to population pressure in
the capital requiring extra space
to accommodate the growing
population.
Tomorrow, the national chamber
ocial will meet with Machakos
County Governor Alfred Mutua.

mobile money products on its own
network. It will also roll out services
similar to those offered by other
mobile operators such as voice, data
and SMS.
Chief executive James Mwangi
yesterday told investors that all the
banks 8.7 million customers would be
issued with new SIM cards on which
to make calls, send text messages,
browse the Internet and conduct
mobile money transactions.
Cash transfer services on its net-
work will cost one per cent of the total
value of a transaction and is capped
at Sh25. Additionally, the company
will provide instant loans at an inter-
est rate of between one and two per
cent per month.
Dr Mwangi said the system would
be inter-operable with a host of elec-
tronic payment platforms. Users will
be able to send money to any bank
account in the country, to Visa and
MasterCard holders as well as mo-
bile money subscribers on any local
network.
When we launch Equity mobile
money it will be dierent; you will
be able to transfer money to any bank
account. There will be no restrictions.
You can send money to any mobile
money account in the country, he
said.
Equity was licensed to become a
Mobile Virtual Network Operator early
this year alongside Tangaza Pesa and
Zioncell. The permit allows the trio to
run services similar to those oered
by the telcos but without investing in
network infrastructure.
The entry of the three, all expected
to adopt a low-cost strategy to attract
customers, is likely to unsettle the
status quo in the industry currently
dominated by Safaricoms M-Pesa.
M-Pesa customers pay a minimum
of Sh3 and a maximum of Sh110 for
transfers to registered users within
Safaricoms network.
Equity will be counting on its huge
number of banking customers to drive
the uptake of the new product.
The bank is running a pilot pro-
gramme among 100 employees, which
will be expanded to about 8,000 and
later 11,000 banking agents before the
service goes live.
In anticipation of demand for its
services, Equity has set up a service,
dubbed Hapo Hapo that will make it
possible for users to open bank ac-
counts on their mobile phones.
Entry into the telecommunication
business will see Equity control the
infrastructure for its mobile banking
services, an independence that the
banks management has desired for
the last decade.
Its services will ride on 60 per cent
of Airtel Kenyas excess capacity.
Under the contract, Equity will
pay Airtel a variable fee pegged on
infrastructure usage. In turn, Airtel
has vowed to invest in expanding its
network coverage to match Equitys
reach.
Dr Mwangi said the partnership
with Airtel would also give the
bank an opportunity to expand to
neighbouring countries where both
rms have a presence. As soon as
we succeed in Kenya, we can move
on to the region.
Former Communications Commis-
sion of Kenya director-general John
Waweru has been tapped to steer the
mobile business at Finserve.
Equity Bank has seconded its
chief ocer of nance, innovation
and technology, Mr John Stanley,
and chief operating officer Julius
Kipngetich.

ICPSK bets on new code to improve governance in companies
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
The Institute of Certied Public
Secretaries of Kenya has developed
a code of governance it hopes will
help improve the management of
private companies.
It said the new guidelines would
align operations of senior manage-
ment teams and boards of private
companies to better eciency and
productivity.
Boards of directors in these
companies have failed to under-
stand their roles hence the rampant
cases of corruption, mismanage-
ment and scandals, said ICPSK
chairperson Catherine Musakali
yesterday.
We want to improve the govern-
ance score in our country through
this code, she said.
The framework focuses on the
role of a companys board, espe-
cially in relation to procurement
procedures.
The board is, for instance, man-
dated to establish a procurement
policy that promotes sustainability,
high ethical standards and best
practices. It should approve the
annual procurement plan, which
should be aligned to the annual
budget, the document says.
It further recommends that
private rms actively engage a
certied company secretary at the
board level to improve compliance
with the law.
The secretary should be in
charge of board induction and
training, updating board and com-
mittee charters, preparing board
work plans, board evaluation and
governance audit, says the rst
chapter of the code.
The ICPSK said that 60 per
cent of the 600,000 companies in
Kenya did not seek secretarial serv-
ices for fear of increased expenses.
The body is currently lobbying
for reform of the companies Bill to
make mandatory the employment
of public secretaries.

We want to improve
the governance score
in our country through
this code

T
he Central Bank of
Kenya yesterday allayed
fears that the Kenya shil-
ling could be in a free fall due
to the rising insecurity threat
to the economy.
In a statement, the regula-
tor said the recent depreciation
of the local currency had been
triggered by a huge demand
for the greenback as compa-
nies pay dividends to foreign
shareholders.
The shillings value against
the US dollar last week
dropped to Sh88, the lowest
in two-and-a-half years.
This phenomenon has been
observed around this period in
the previous years, said the
CBK. Yesterday, the shilling
closed the day at 87.75/87.95,
compared to 87.70/87.90
against the US dollar at the
close of trading on Friday.
Travel advisories
Increased terrorist attacks
have led to the issuance of
travel advisories against
Kenya, plunging the tourism
sector into a crisis, and cutting
dollar inows.
Financial analysts have
also associated the shillings
depreciation with the prevail-
ing security challenges thought
to have triggered panic buying
by importers.
The CBK, however, reas-
sured the public that the
countrys current level of
foreign exchange reserves of
$6.24 billion (Sh549 billion),
equivalent to 4.4 months of
import cover, are sufficient
to provide adequate cushion
against temporary shocks.
The Central Bank expects
the situation to normalise
as the impact of seasonal
factors dissipates. In the
meantime, the bank contin-
ues to monitor developments
in the market and stands ready
to provide support to minimise
the volatility of the exchange
rate, it said.
In addition, the CBK noted
that proceeds from the planned
Eurobond will significantly
raise the level of foreign re-
serves with the exchange rate
expected to come under pres-
sure in coming months.
The Central Bank, there-
fore, expects the situation to
normalise as the impact of
seasonal factors dissipates.
Analysts said yesterdays
trading was generally quiet,
but expected end-month de-
mand from importers to put
pressure on the shilling again
in the week. The CBK mopped
up Sh3 billion from the market
yesterday. On Friday, it took
Sh7.25 billion from circula-
tion.
CURRENCY | Allaying fears
Regulator says US
dollar demand to
pay dividends is the
cause of the current
decline in local unit
Shilling not
in free fall,
says CBK
The Central Bank,
therefore, expects the
situation to normalise
as the impact of
seasonal factors
dissipates, Statement

Brand new Chevrolet cars sit on the sales lot at F.H. Dailey Chevrolet in San Leandro, California, US.
General Motors announced a recall of 2.7 million cars and trucks for ve dierent safety issues that
include steering and braking problems.
SYDNEY, Monday
G
eneral Motors Australian
subsidiary, Holden, recalled
more than 45,000 Commo-
dores today over a potential seatbelt
fault, following withdrawals by rivals
Toyota and Hyundai due to various
issues last week.
The recall, which aects 41,933
cars in Australia and another 3,744
in New Zealand almost all of the
new model Commodores that went
on sale last year was precautionary,
Holden said.
No conrmed reports
There have been no conrmed
reports of this condition in the eld.
The issue was raised from an internal
investigation following an isolated in-
stance at the plant, a spokesman for
the rm said in a statement.
There have been no reports of any
accidents or injuries resultant from
this condition.
Holden said the pre-tensioner a
mechanism that tightens a seatbelt
when a crash occurs of certain
MY14 VF Commodore and WN Ca-
price models could make contact with
a bolt at the base of the seatbelt buckle
assembly, wearing it out.
In this circumstance, if the pre-ten-
sioner wiring harness develops wear
as a result of contacting the bolt, the
airbag warning light may illuminate
on the instrument cluster and there is
a risk that the pre-tensioner may not
deploy in the event of an accident,
Holden said.
All other safety devices, includ-
ing airbags, are unaected by this
condition.
The recall is Holdens fourth in
Australia this year, with the previous
ones involving brake lights, manual
driveshafts and transmission mounts
of vehicles.
Air bag issue
Last week, South Koreas Hyundai
recalled 140,000 vehicles in the
United States and Puerto Rico over an
airbag issue, while the worlds biggest
carmaker Toyota recalled 520,000 ve-
hicles over a range of issues.
In April, Toyota Australia pulled
back almost 300,000 cars as part of
a global recall of 6.39 million vehicles
worldwide by the Japanese rm over
various concerns. (AFP)

Sony to sell PlayStation in China
SHANGHAI, Monday
Sony will bring its Play-
Station consoles to China
through two joint ventures,
the Japanese gaming giant
and its Chinese partner both
said today, as they seek to
tap a newly opened market.
China in January formally
authorised the domestic sale
of game consoles made in its
rst free trade zone (FTZ)
in Shanghai, opening up a
market with an estimated
500 million players to foreign
companies, including Sony,
Microsoft and Nintendo.
Shanghai-listed tourism
and culture rm Oriental
Pearl said it would set up
two joint ventures with Sony
in the FTZ, one for hardware
and one to handle software
and services, according to a
statement led to the stock
exchange.
Sony will take a 49 per
cent stake in one venture and
a majority 70 per cent in the
other, the statement said, to
make and market PlaySta-
tion consoles and related
software in China.
Sony conrmed the an-
nouncement separately in an
email to AFP.
The ventures will help in-
troduce quality and healthy
gaming products to Chinese
players, the Oriental Pearl
statement said, one of the re-
quirements of authorities for
selling in China.

AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
There is likely to have been much pressure from
certain quarters to nalize arrangements that
promise to have long -lasting repercussions. You
may be eager to have things in order but not
until after two weeks when you will have enough
information to enable you to commit yourself.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
The temptation to focus on potentially rewarding
activities or emotional arrangements that show
promise of more must be great. Not only would
doing so now be premature, but maters of a
domestic nature or related to complex family
situations need to be dealt with promptly.

ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
The stars emphasize relations of all forms and
achieving and maintaining a balance between
your own needs and those of others, but there is
no simple formula for what you must do. Each
situation and relationship must be judged on its
own merit and decisions should be made based
on what it brings to you.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
You long for someone to come in and give you
a hand with certain responsibilities if not to
take over completely. But now that situations
have progressed to the point that some of these
burdens could be ooaded, your reluctance
makes clear the nature of your reservations.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
For some time partners have not only been
uncommunicative, they have been out of reach
in a more personal sense as well. For this reason
you should more than welcome the softening
inuence provided by the planetary, set-up on
this particular day.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
From now on your progress will not only be a
good deal smoother but also productive and
enjoyable. Just for once, dont wait to see
what will be done. Push ahead under your won
steam -taking the initiative will increase your
condence. .
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
It seems you have all the time in the world to
discuss certain plans with friends, colleagues
or associates. However, not only is that not
the case but the planetary focus shifts to other
interesting issues very soon making it now or
never for such exchange.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
No one has a greater aection and
understanding of the oddities of human
nature which friends, workmates and close
acquaintances value highly. This somewhat
seless streak can mean however, that you could
nd the intense focus on new and personal
matters indicated by the stars unsettling.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
If you are in doubt about a long term investment
or business matters, then what transpires over
the next few days should allow you to opt out
if necessary. Dont act too quickly however,
because developments could transform
situations, resolving questions to your advantage.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
As you see it, its too early in the game to
commit to one plan of action especially in the
light of last weeks developments. Sad as your
thinking is there is a danger that circumstances
will impose certain decisions on you if you
continue to sit on the fence for too long.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
You have the cue from the stars for you to step
into centre stage and let other people know
exactly what you are feeling. A good time,
too for making fresh start in any area that you
choose.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
You may not be in a position to nd out
everything about cash matters. However it is
better to get started now and ensure that other
people know you are taking action, rather than
do nothing and fall behind. .

again on that day when we meet our Jesus, when we look upon His face,

It has been a year since you were taken from us. We have
missed you terribly and forever hold you in our hearts. The
memories of your life often instils wonder and joy at what you
accomplished in life and did for all those in your life.
As a wife,you were a partner, a loving companion to John
that did not have an equal. As a mother you were exceptional,
forever providing support to your three sons, Kevin, Martin
and Henry. As a sister, your siblings knew nothing but your
unwavering belief in their aspirations and perpetually there to
help them navigate their lives. As a friend, you were instrumental
in lling those in your life with counsel and conversation, making
each of them better through knowing you. As a child of God,
you were most majestic. There is not a single individual whose
life you have been in that has not felt your devotion and love for
your Saviour Jesus Christ, whom you followed relentlessly and
kept Him in your heart and mind constantly.
Your Bible speaks of the hours spent pouring and devouring all
of His words. May you be exalted in heaven, as that is where
Christ keeps His most precious children, such as you.
In celebrating your life, we remember all this and more in how
you impacted our lives. As is only right, we shall hold a memorial
on 1st June 2014 to celebrate the life that you lived and the intimate touch you had in so many lives, beyond even you
could fathom. Be blessed and we shall all see you when the roll is called up yonder in each of our lives.

Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they nd rest as they lie in death.

Gor Mahia have registered a formal
complaint with the Kenyan Premier
League over the poor state of Merus
Kinoru Stadium that hosted their KPL
Top Eight semi-nal match against
Tusker.
Gors Organising Secretary David
Kiilo said the stadium does not meet
the minimum requirements to host
a match of that magnitude, citing a
sub-standard playing surface.
We were appalled by the state of
the stadium. The playing surface is
bumpy and sanitation is very poor.
Among other things, there was only
one pit latrine to be shared by every-
one, including players, Kiilo said.
I cant understand why KPL
cleared the venue to host matches,
he added, saying Gor have registered
a formal complaint with KPL. Tusker
won the match 1-0.
When contacted, KPL CEO Jack
Oguda said the stadium was given a
clean bill of health by KPLs Sports
Stadia Committee chaired by Western
Stima chairman Laban Jobita.
I have been to Meru with the Sports
Stadia Committee. Its the commit-
tees mandate to declare stadiums t
to host matches. After a proper physi-
cal survey was done, Kinoru got the
approval, Oguda said.
This is not the rst time teams are
taking issue with the stadiums play-
ing surface.

y nishing the KCB Nakuru Rally
at the weekend, Nikhil Sachania
has proved that disability is not
inability.
And the physically disabled Sachania
has emerged as one of the most daring
rally drivers to ever grace the Kenya
National Rally Championship series.
Young Sachanias rallying career
was almost cut short after a quad bike
overturned and landed on him during
a training session in the outskirts of
Athi River.
But the 23-year-old, now consigned to
a wheelchair, made a remarkable recovery
and made his rally debut in Nakuru at the
weekend, where tears of joy were shed
when he was spotted being carried out
of his customised Mitsubishi Challenger
rally car to receive the prize for nishing
the event after returning 31st.
Kiran Patel, a co-driver of Sachanias
father during his rallying days, said
he was overwhelmed when he saw the
young boy being carried to the ramp at
the prize-giving ceremony.
Like his friends and relatives, it was
touching to see the young boys determi-
nation to return to the sport that almost
killed him years back. Many of us could
not hide our tears. Well done to the father
for encouraging him to stay in the sport,
said Patel. It was big joy for Sachania
after nishing the race.
About two and half years ago, I had
a quad bike accident at Athi River. I hit a
ditch at a high speed, fell and broke my
back and I was paralyzed from the waist
down, Sachania said.
Instead of mourning over his fate, he
returned to the sport to prove that dis-
ability is not an excuse to keep away from
something one desires to do in life.
I have slightly adjusted the roll cage on
the drivers side to make it easier for me
to get in and out. There is a foot plate in
front of the pedals so that my legs dont
accidentally hit the accelerator or brake,
Sachania added.
The main modification is to the
hand control of both the accelerator
and brake cables. It is a simple push-
and-pull mechanism that is available in
the market.

Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche
has said striker Dennis Oliech will not
play against Comoros in the return leg
of match the 2014 Africa Cup of Nations
preliminary tie on Friday.
An angry Amrouche said he made the
decision after the former captain missed
training sessions without permission.
He (Oliech) should forget about the
next game. My principle is simple, if
you dont train, you dont play and all
the team members know that. He has
missed training for several days and it is
not like he had family commitments or
an emergency, so he is not in my squad,
Amrouche said yesterday during training
at Nyayo Stadium.
Oliech, who is one of the senior members
of the squad, left Stars camp immediately
after Kenya beat Comoros 1-0 ten days
ago, only to resurface yesterday.
Oliech is a good player, but I have other
good players in camp who I will give a
chance to play. Respect and discipline is
paramount, he said. The team is also
likely to miss the services of midelder
Jamal Mohamed and David Owino who are
sick. Owino yesterday took part in light
running drills together with goalkeeper
Duncan Ochieng who is yet to fully recover
from a shoulder fracture.
Creative midfielder Francis Kahata
who plays for Albanias FK Tirana and
Sanlam Santos centre half Brian Mandela
attended yesterdays training session
which concentrated on running drills,
physical endurance and ball possession.
First-choice custodian Arnold Origi is yet
to link up with the team which leaves for

to pay to keep you updated, just like
I did four years ago during the Afri-
can World Cup.
When the world came calling in
2010, we all thought time had come
for an African team to win the big-
gest prize in football. It was being
held at home, after all.
The stars had aligned and the
gods were on our side. From Dakar
to Dar es Salaam, Johannesburg to
Cairo, the continent was pregnant
with expectations.
Of the six African teams, the
Brazilians of Africa, Ghana, thrilled
the motherland with a slick dis-
play. They kept ghting after South
Africa, Cote dIvoire, Cameroon,
Nigeria and Algeria had been booted
out. When Ghana took on Uruguay
in the quarter-nals, the continent
was in a great mood. We summoned
our gods and ancestors spirits
and held our collective breath for
the Black Stars.
Football fans gathered in enter-
tainment joints early and waited
for history: An African team would
reach the semi-nals for the rst
time ever.
Dropped bombshell
If hope exists, we had it in surplus.
I was just about to leave the of-
ce and join my gang at a lively
sports pub in town when my Editor
dropped the bombshell: I would be
working late, on the game. Another
of those late-night assignments.
With the company of the night
guard, it wasnt such a boring at-
mosphere in the oce.
We happily cheered our team
until that unforgettable moment
when a handball on the goal line by
Luis Suarez prevented Dominic Adi-
yiah from scoring at the death.
Adiyiahs header was destined
for the back of the net but Suarez
with his grin and buck teeth took
the role of goalkeeper into his own
hands. Like the Hand of God in re-
verse, he punched the ball clear.
And, as fate would have it, Asa-
moah Gyan missed the resultant
penalty when he stepped up to nish
his compatriots onerous task. The
South Americans went on to win 4-2
on penalties after the teams had bat-
tled to a 1-1 extra time draw.
Although penalties are always
a gamble, many felt Suarez had
cheated the Black Stars out of a slot
in the semi-nals.
The real crime came in the way
he cheered the penalty miss as he
dissapeared down the tunnel to the
sounds of boos from the thousands
of fans at the stadium and millions
more watching at home.
It was devastating.
Now, news trickling in from South
America indicates that Suarez could
miss the 2014 tournament due to
an injury. He had a knee surgery
last week and could be out for up to
six weeks. Uruguay are pooled with
Italy, England and Costa Rica. For
the love of the game, this is good
news for England and African fans.
Suarez corrupted the purity of the
worlds greatest tournament in 2010.
He does not deserve another shot in
footballs biggest tournament.
At least not when its being staged
in Brazil.
Suarez no-show in Brazil would be footballs best gift to African fans

f it bleeds, it leads, so goes
an old saying in journalism.
This brief description of what
would constitute news value has
been associated by communica-
tion scholars to the popular press
in Europe and North America.
It goes something like this. The
media, in its ceaseless quest to
grow its audience often ignores
the other side of the story. Jour-
nalists are no longer guided by
the mantra in the public interest
but are more intent on pandering
to their audience.
This is no less exemplied by
the way the media in Europe,
North America and by extension
the global media report on the
Fifa World Cup build ups, more
so, when the tournament is being
hosted by a country outside the
Western world.
Take the case of the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa. It was the
rst time that the grandest foot-
ball tournament in the world was
being staged in Africa and you
would have, naturally, expected
media coverage to dwell on the
joys, benets and magic of the
beautiful game on the conti-
nent.
Major stories
And indeed such stories would
be found in media outlets across
Africa. But I distinctly remember
the major stories that dominated
the international news agencies
and the western press in the run
up to South Africa 2010.
First, after criticism about
Fifas voting process that awarded
the tournament to South Africa,
it was endless stories about how
South Africa was struggling to
build new, mega-stadiums and
high tech transport systems
and how expensive (read unaf-
fordable) it was for that nation.
That the money would have been
better spent in basic provisions
like health and education for the
poor population. Then gears were
shifted to inundate the audience
with stories on run-away insecu-
rity, how you were likely to be
robbed and even killed in Cape
Town if not Johannesburg and
the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS
in the country. The audience in
the Western world believes, per-
ceived or otherwise, that nothing
good comes from Africa and the
Western world news owners were
only reinforcing this by carrying
negative stories from the Rainbow
nation.
Four years later, the 2014 World
Cup in Brazil has received its fair
share of negative publicity from
the international media. If it is
not about the huge costs of stag-
ing the tournament ($11 billion
about Sh968 billion) with the
narrative questioning why that
money would not have been bet-
ter used on social programmes,
then it is reports about Brazil
lagging behind their timelines
for completion of stadium con-
struction or demonstrations by a
section of the population opposed
to the tournament being staged
in that country.
For good measure, media re-
ports are warning of the dangers
of contracting dengue fever in
Brazil, who, never mind, hosted
the 1950 World Cup with much
success.
However, is emphasis on such
reporting justied? Is it exagger-
ated? Or biased? Media serve
their specic audiences. Rather
than cry foul over what the inter-
national media write, third world
journalists should craft their own
stories that will serve their audi-
ence and interests. I cant wait
to write about Kenya when they
obtain the rights to host the World
Cup; if I live long enough to see
that day.

Journalists from international media take notes during a past sporting
event at the Nyayo National Stadium.
D
ear readers, I will revisit
the subject of my story
here from last week, but
before I do so, I beg your indul-
gence on one small side issue.
On Saturday night when
Real Madrid finally won the
much-sought-after La Decima
(10th Uefa Champions League
title) in dramatic fashion (an
outcome that greatly gratied
yours truly, a longtime fan of
Los Blancos), the English media
went overdrive in singing praise
to Welshman Gareth Bale.
The salient message in the
English papers on Sunday
morning was that Bale was the
man who grabbed the Big Ears
by the scru of its neck from
the clutches of their unlucky
city rivals Atletico Madrid on a
memorable night in Lisbon.
True, Bale certainly titled the
scales in Reals favour with a for-
tuitous goal in the 110th minute
during extra time. But to hail
him as the super hero of the
night, as the English press has
happily done, would be stretch-
ing it a little bit too far.
In fact, up to that point the
former Tottenham Hotspur
man had been largely anony-
mous and only beneted from
Angel di Marias eort after the
irrepressible Argentine slalomed
past three Atletico defenders.
But what would you expect
from a convoluted media after
their over-prized British won-
der kid had just won the most
coveted piece of silverware in
European club football?
A month ago, we were treated
STEVE OMONDI
COUCH POTATO VIEW
to the same old English media
shenanigans when Mo Farah
(that ever smiling clean-shaven
Somali-turned-English long dis-
tance runner) made his debut
in the marathon.
In the days preceding the
London Marathon, the English
media was awash with pre-race
previews that predicted a Mo
Farah victory, or even a world
record, on his debut in the 42
km race. This was vintage Eng-
lish media in its element.
But thank heavens for little
mercies; our very own Wilson
Kipsang spared us any further
English media gibberish by win-
ning the race in a new course
record relegating the much
touted Farah to a distant eighth.
Little has since been heard of
the celebrated English knight
in shining armour.
Back to the World Cup.
When South Africa nally won
the World Cup hosting rights
of the 2010 tournament after
being short-changed in their
quest for the previous edition,
many of those who thought that
the Rainbow nation was through
with its troubles soon realized
they were dead wrong.
Negative publicity
A new challenge presented
itself in the form of negative
publicity by the Western media
which questioned South Africas
credibility as the host nation.
There were endless reports
of high crime rate, insecurity
and the countrys infrastructure
that was not up to scratch. In
the end though, South Africa
proved the cynics wrong by
hosting a hugely-successful
tournament.
Four years on, Brazil, an-
other third world country, is
being subjected to all sorts of
negative news coverage by the
lynch mob that is the Western
media. Even Qatar, the desig-
nated hosts of the 2022 World
Cup, are feeling the heat over
what is being described by the
Western media as unfavourable
weather conditions.
Why dont we ever read such
stories when, say, Germany or
Italy is hosting the World Cup?
Methinks its all in giving the
dog a bad name. What ever hap-
pened to the rule of fair play?

Consecutive

to Germany tak-

of the last two World Cups with Lahm
in the side and it is 12 years since the
Germans lost the 2002 nal to Brazil

I do not want to go out in the semi-

I have a clear goal, to achieve the
biggest possible success and win the
World Cup.
In order to break their duck, im-
proved counter-attack and a tighter
defence are the key areas coach
Joachim Loew wants to improve.
The squad is packed with attack-
ing potential, but there have been
rumours of discontent in the past
with disgruntled stars disrupting
the squads harmony from the
bench at both the 2012 European
Championships and in the World

Frances World Cup squad will
emerge from the isolation of their
secluded training base to play Norway
today in the rst of three friendlies
before departing for Brazil.
France, coached by Didier Des-
champs (right), have spent the last
week working at Clairefontaine, the
national football centre hidden away
in the woods an hours drive south of
the capital.
Such peaceful surroundings could
hardly feel further removed from what
awaits them in Brazil, but when they
take to the eld against the Norwe-
gians at the Stade de France they
will start to feel like the World Cup
is nally just around the corner.
Les Bleus begin their Group E
campaign against Honduras in Porto
Alegre on Sunday, June 15, before going
on to face Switzerland and Ecuador.
To prepare, Deschamps side have
three friendlies lined up on home
soil, with the Norway clash followed
by encounters with Paraguay in Nice
next Sunday and Jamaica in Lille on
June 8.
It is the biggest competition that
any player can imagine taking part
in. It is a boyhood dream come true,
admitted the Newcastle United mid-
elder Moussa Sissoko when asked
what it means to participate in a World
Cup on Brazilian soil.
To get there, France needed a dra-
matic play-o win against Ukraine back
in November, when they triumphed 3-0
to overturn a two-goal rst-leg decit,
and now Sissoko is hoping to give fans
at home more to shout about in the
coming warm-up matches.
We want to continue along the same
lines and try to win all of these games.
These are three important matches to
us in the build-up to the World Cup,
added Sissoko.
The team that faces Norway today
will almost certainly not be that which
takes to the eld against Honduras,
with Franck Ribery having sat out
collective training over the weekend

Germany out to end Cup curse
SEEKING AMMENDS | There have been reports of discontent among squads stars in the past
priority in their south Tirol camp.
The 24-year wait for a fourth World
Cup title is Germanys longest since
first winning the global crown in
1954.
Younger members of the squad, in-
cluding mideld star Mario Goetze,
were yet to be born when West Ger-
many won Italia 1990 the last time
they were world champions.
In the past, Loews strength has
been to instill impressive cohesion
into his side by hours of drilling.
But injuries and a lack of tness in
his rst-choice stars could hamper
the process.
We need to work on our exibility
and variation, said the 54-year-old.
You always need a what-if strat-
egy during matches, but we also need
to improve our counter-attacking
when we have won the ball back. We
havent done that as consistently well
as we did at the South African World
Cup and immediately after.
Germany have made a habit of suf-
fering from injuries going into World
Cup campaigns. In 2006, captain
Michael Ballack was nursing a calf
injury while current skipper Lahm
needed elbow surgery.
In 2010, Chelseas Ballack was
ruled out by a nasty tackle in the
FA Cup nal from Ghana midelder
Kevin-Prince Boateng while first-
choice goalkeeper Rene Adler was
ruled out with broken ribs.
In Ballacks absence, Lahm took
over and has been Germanys captain
ever since while Manuel Neuer has
cemented his place between the posts
and is widely regarded as one of the
worlds best goalkeeper.
However, four years on and the
fault line runs right along the back-
bone of Loews rst-choice side. Lars
Benders withdrawal has removed a
defensive mideld option with Loews
rst-choice pairing of vice-captain
Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sami
Khedira both lacking tness after
respective knee injuries.
Likewise, Neuer is battling a
shoulder injury never good for
a goalkeeper while Lahm is also
being treated intensively for an ankle
knock. (AFP)

P

was yesterday quizzed by
the cohesion commission in
connection with a posting on his
Facebook account deemed to be
hate speech.
The National Cohesion and Integra-
tion Commission, at the same time,
said former Vice-President Kalonzo
Musyoka had also appeared before
its ocials over his remark about a
journalists ethnic background.
Mr Kuria, a blogger and TNA strat-
egist, was questioned for hours and
asked to explain the context of his
posting on the social media site.
He arrived at the commissions
headquarters in Upper Hill, Nairobi,
at 10.40am, accompanied by two
aides. The three were ushered into
a boardroom, where the questioning
took place.
Mr Kuria emerged from the meeting
two-and-a-half hours later and said he
had no apologies over the posting.
The commissions ocer in charge
of the Complaints, Legal and Enforce-
ment Department, Mr Kyalo Mwenzi,
said they sought to understand Mr
Kurias post.
Mr Kuria posted the comments
after the twin explosions in Nairobis
Gikomba market in which 12 people
died and dozens were injured.
It read: I think it is only a matter
of time before Kenyans start violence
against perceived terrorists, their sym-
pathisers, their nanciers and those
issuing travel advisories without
intelligence.
I am not sure I will not be one
of those Kenyans. When you touch
Gikomba, the nerve centre of our
economic enterprise, you really cross
the line. Brace yourself. Choices have
consequences.
The post attracted comments,
with some supporting the authors
views while others called for his
prosecution.
Mr Mwenzi said they would carry
out further investigations before mak-
ing recommendations to the Director
of Public Prosecutions, Mr Keriako
Tobiko.
This is our rst engagement with
him and we have given him an op-
portunity to shed light on the post.
He has owned up to having made the
posting, said the ocial.
Mr Kuria denied the posting was
incitive.
There was nothing wrong with that
post. I was analysing and predicting,
he said.

ormer Mungiki leader
Maina Njenga was
travelling on the
Gilgil-Nyahururu road
last Saturday when a hail of
bullets hit the Subaru Forester
carrying him at Ngirigacha, a
small settlement 10 kilometres
from Nyahururu town. The
Forester was sprayed with 25
bullets while a Toyota Premio
said to be carrying Njengas
security detail received nine.
Five people, including
Njengas female companion
and a bodyguard, were killed on
the spot while the controversial
former sect leader and now
preacher at Hope International
Ministries church in Kitengela
escaped with gunshot wounds
to his left arm and shoulder.
The events last Saturday were
a culmination of two weeks of
intrigues surrounding Maina
Njenga and his followers.
Tempers have been simmering
at Hope International for what
insiders claim to be months
now, but the last 14 days may
prove to be the turning point for
Njenga and his followers.
It all started on a Friday
evening two weeks ago when
herdsman Samwel Sayiore
called it a day in the fields
and started herding his goats
towards his homestead on
the flat plains north-east of
Kitengela town. He was halfway
home when a strong, foul smell
stopped him in his tracks.
The first thought in
Sayiores mind was that one
of his neighbours sheep had
wandered o a few days back
and fallen into one of the
dozens of abandoned quarries
on the grazing elds. If that
was the case, it would not be
the rst time; the numerous
quarries here, dug up to feed
Nairobis gluttonous demand
for building stones, tend to
ood with rainwater whenever
the skies open. And whenever
that happens, some unfortunate
sheep wanders o only to be
found in one of the miniature
dams; drowned.
Sayiores fear turned to panic
when, just a few minutes after
he began the search for the
carcass of a neighbours sheep,
he stumbled upon a human leg.
He did not know it, but at the
moment he stumbled upon that
leg, he had also stumbled upon
a quiet revolution that has been
brewing for several years now
within Njengas movement; a
revolution that is as ironic as
it is tragic.
A few metres away, Sayiore
found a human skull.
His heart threatening to burst
out of his chest, the herdsman
whipped out his mobile phone
and fumbled over the buttons
as he looked for the contacts of
his location chief and someone
at Kitengela Police Station.
An hour later, police ocers
arrived at the scene and
started collecting the human
body parts that were strewn
over the grazing wasteland
locally known as Sheep and
Goat Farm. When it got too
dark to continue exploring the
area, the police left to return
the next morning, and that is
when they found what appeared
to be a shallow mass grave in

Many former sect members suspect, and even admit, that
they will most likely die at the hands of former friends and
blood-brothers. Finding it futile to turn to the police, some have
appealed to leader Maina Njenga for protection, and they are now
angry that the church leader seems to be doing little about the
issue apart from clearing his name in the media
an abandoned quarry. Two
human skulls were partially
protruding from the ground and
large rocks had been rolled over
the patch to conceal a scandal
that is rapidly turning out to
be the biggest indicator that
there is a slow yet growing
implosion among Kitengelas
most controversial residents,
who have since been warned
to vacate the area.
Last week this newspaper
learnt that some family
members of those who were
allegedly killed and secretly
buried by suspected Mungiki
gangs had started relocating to
other towns out of fear that they
too could be targeted next. The
families rst reported to police
about their missing relatives,
then packed their belongings
and left Kitengela to avoid, it
is believed, the wrath of the
murderous sect.
This interesting, if not
bewildering, chapter of the
Mungiki book, however, did
not start yesterday; but on a
sunny day in 2009 when a
middle-aged man was dunked
in water at the Jesus Is Alive
Ministries headqaurters on
Haile Selassie Avenue, Nairobi.
The man wore a black T-shirt
with the words Jesus: Thats
My Final Answer emblazoned
across the chest, and hundreds
of young men, most of them in
their 20s, followed him to the
water, ready to be baptised,
to shed their collective dark
histories and start life afresh.
John Kamunya, alias Maina
Njenga, the man in the black
T-shirt, had in the few months
preceding the spectacle above
announced that he had divorced
himself from the Mungiki gospel
he had preached for years and
converted to Christianity.
This was a public show of his
Road-to-Damascus moment, a
way of showing the Kenyans
who had come to dread him
and his followers that he had
mended his ways.
Mungiki is an infamous
militia group of young men,
mostly aged between 18 and 40
and from the Kikuyu tribe, who
came together in the 1980s and
formed a movement that vowed
to break away from the curse of
colonialism and the brand of
Western brainwashing called
Christianity. Modelled after the
Mau Mau freedom ghters, the
sects avowed mission was to
mobilise Kenyans against this
double-edged yoke of mental
and spiritual slavery.
Multitude
The name Mungiki is
derived from the Kikuyu word
ming, which means masses or
multitude, but is contextually
translated to a united people.
Its members are united in
the cause of preserving African
roots, values and tradition
and defending these from any
interlopers, whether local or
foreign.
That is why, on the day
he was dipped into those
calm waters at Jesus Is Alive,
Maina Njenga did not simply
switch organisations, he also
walked straight into the camp
of Mungikis core enemy
Christianity.
While many Kenyans had
thought this would mark the
end of the sect, it would later
turn out that they were both
right and wrong: they were right
in thinking that the splitting
of the group would lead to
irrelevance and the eventual
collapse of the sect, but they
could never, in a million years,
have predicted how many
casualties this collapse would
take with it.
The group, formed in the
early 1990s and concentrating
its activities in Muranga and
surrounding areas, shot to
national prominence in mid 90s
when it extended its tentacles
into Nairobi around 1994.
Members organised themselves
into cells of 50 members each,
and these were further grouped
into ve platoons strategically
distributed throughout the city
and its environs. The group
made a living from odd jobs
such as rubbish collection,
construction, and collecting
fees from matatu operators
and business owners, among
other forms of protection
racketeering.
The initial tremors under
the otherwise firm Mungiki
ground were felt in 2007, when
rumours began spreading that
the sect was splitting into two.

country soon followed. Word on
the street at the time was that
most of these assassinations
were carried out by the police
in an attempt to compromise
the group and weaken its unity,
which had been grounded in a
quasi-religious oath involving
elaborate rituals. The police
denied any involvement in the
assassinations.
Rumors of a split in the group
were rubber-stamped two years
later when Maina Njenga was
released from prison he had
been jailed for illegal possession
of a firearm and, a few
months later, declared that he
had converted to Christianity.
It seems now that the hundreds
of young men who followed him
into the baptismal water, and
out of Mungiki, had, with that
single act, signed their own
death warrants.
Death no big deal
The oath they had taken
decreed at the end: May I die
if I desert or reveal our secrets.
Blasphemy, Mungiki believes,
must be met with death. And
death, to its adherents, is no
big deal.
Condider this: back in the
1990s, the Mungiki became
infamous for the cold-blooded
nature of the hundreds of
murders attributed to them.
The brutal killings that often
involved the sawing off of
peoples heads grabbed
the countrys attention and
simultaneously repelled it like a
blood-curdling scene in a horror
movie. The scattered incidents
became more frequent towards
the end of the 20th century.
Then, in 2003, 31 people were
brutally killed in Kariobangi,
Nairobi, followed by another
massacre of 22 in Nakuru.
The Nakuru episode stands
out among many others because
of the way it was carried out:
suspected Mungiki youth
invaded homes in Flamingo
and Kimathi Estates, dragged
people out of their houses and
hacked them to death. They
did not negotiate, or warn, or
preach; all they wanted to do
was kill, which they achieved
through all sorts of crude
weapons, including pangas,
axes and knives. Images from
the massacre stained the front
pages of Kenyas newspapers
like a bad habit that would not
go away for days.
Public outrage led the police,
for the first time, to take a
more decisive action against
the group and many of the
its members were killed in the
months that followed. A series
of events led to the arrest of
Maina Njenga in 2007 after
he was found in possession of
a gun and ve kilogrammes of
marijuana.
While police connected him
to a series of murders, the
courts ruled that there was
not enough evidence to link
the man with the crimes and
the murder charges against
him were withdrawn. While
he had been sentenced to ve
years in Kamiti, he only spent
two years in the cooler. Then all
went quiet in the Mungiki ranks
until the Maasai herdsman
stumbled upon the leg of a
human being in the plains of
Kitengela two weeks ago.
So, what is happening?
Is the group regrouping, or
has it all along been fooling
Kenyans? The answers to those
questions lie, not in Njengas
Hope International church, but
in the sects insatiable thirst for
land. Wherever. Whenever.
In the more than two decades
that the group has existed, its
leaders and representatives
have expressed bitterness
over the rich and elite in society
grabbing and hoarding land that
should otherwise have belonged
to the community.
Colonial injustices
The group traces this
grievance back to the colonial
times, when, according to
them, the land previously
owned by British settlers was
simply transferred to corrupt
government ocials instead
of back to the communities it
was stolen from. Little wonder,
then, that the recent spates of
killings have been reported to
be over land.
Before the fallout several
years ago, the members of
Mungiki had elaborately
organised themselves
into financial groups and
associations. Money collected
through various extortion
rackets was pooled and
used to purchase pieces of
land in dierent parts of the
country. The Kitengela land
for which blood is now being
shed previously belonged to
East Africa Portland Cement
Company (EAPCC) but was
bought by an association of
former Mungiki members.
Some of those we talked
to last week, and who sought
anonymity because of the
sensitivity of the matter,
said members registered
with Sh5,000 and made a
downpayment of Sh20,000
each for acquiring the land.
About 600 people bought into
the idea, with most of them
contributing more than 60,000
for the venture.
While not every Mungiki
member contributed for the
purchase of the land, it turns out
everyone wanted in. Those who
did not pay a dime claimed that
the land was bought through the
groups savings, and that it thus
belonged to them as well. And
then the ghting began. Once
they were united in their ght
for land, but once they got a
little of it, the land divided and
started killing them.
Yes, the Mungiki are still
killing, but they are killing each
other. Their bleeding is internal.
The police no longer need to
carry out the extra-judicial
killings they were accused of
at the turn of the millennium;
all they need to do is stand back
and watch as former friends and
blood-brothers destroy each
other, then step in to collect the
bodies.

FOR THREE days after the mass
grave in Machakos County was
discovered, police said little about
the matter, and when they spoke it
was mostly in hushed tones at the
quarry site.
No ocial report was given
on the possible backstory, and it
was only until relatives positively
identied some of the bodies as
those of Maina Njengas church
members and former Mungiki that
the smelly thing hit the fan.
On May 20, four days after the
discovery of the bodies, the police,
in what sounded like a hurriedly
crafted statement, reported
that Maina Njengas followers,
drawn from across Central Kenya
with some coming from as far
as Mt Kenya, Nyeri, Laikipia and
Nakuru were ghting with the
supporters of a former Njenga
associate, Thiongo Kigicha.
The report gave scanty details
on the recent killings and the
connection to the Mungiki in-
ghting, and, since I was on the
story, I looked for former sect
members who were among those
who followed Maina Njenga
into the water at Jesus Is Alive
Ministries ve years ago.
Although the life of violence is
now behind them, these young
men are not at peace. The oath
they took all those years ago
demanded that they remain part
of the large, venomous family, that
they shun their Christian ways.
But they went ahead and got
baptised, so they are forced to walk
around looking over their shoulders
every day. Like the rest of us, they
know that they only have one life to
live, but, unlike the rest of us, they
have a fairly good idea of how they
will exit this place, and maybe even
the faces of their killers.
Many former members suspect,
and even admit, that they will
most likely die at the hands of
former friends and blood-brothers.
Finding it futile to turn to the
police, some have appealed to
Maina Njenga for protection, and
they are now angry that the church
leader seems to be doing little
about the issue apart from clearing
his name in the media.
Others suspect that the leader is
in collusion with the perpetrators
of the recent land clashes.
The speculations are many, as
many as the number of people
conjecturing; but the one thing
that remains clear is the fog
surrounding life as an ex-Mungiki.
Anyone who broke the oath and
deserted the brotherhood is a dead
man walking.

COMMENTARY: THE WALKING DEAD
DAILY NATION

t was probably the biggest
story of the week, which was
anomalous, considering that
it was not about the weave, a
hairstyle that captures the ckle
imagination of Kenyan men and
not only makes them whine
endlessly, but also exposes them
as a people who cannot accept
and move on.
Kenyas testosterone-filled
media might even rank it as one
of the most-talked about stories
of 2014, and they will probably
conduct a frivolous study with
a big-sounding title to nd out
whether it was right for Kenyans
to discuss it on dierent media
platforms.
The findings of that ill-
informed study, as you might
have already guessed, will not be
of any use to the development of
the nations manliness, but some
individuals will feel happy that
they have made Kenyans more
aware of the inappropriate
subjects that are discussed on
radio talk shows.
This was the story of the
month, and it has been discussed
so much that writing about it
now might even be considered
unmanly, and some might even
ask what more there is to write
about it.
Now to the story: For the rst
time in the history of romance
in Kenya, one Francis Onyiso
bought space in the newspaper to
apologise to his wife. The move
confounded all the red-blooded
men and self-styled relationship
experts.
It was a heroic move, but
instead of being considered
Kenyas first gentleman and
being recommended for a State
Honour, Onyiso received so
much ak that he is probably
considering buying more space
to apologise to Kenyan men for
contravening the National Code
of Misconduct and besmirching
the countrys motto of Rudeness
to All.
Whatever led to the public
apology is unclear, but it is safe
to assume that he tried to cross
the unknown boundaries of the
Marital Code, or even Martial
Code, if your missus comes
from Nyeri.
But as the poet wrote: What
dire oence from amorous causes
springs, what mighty contests
rise from trivial thingsin tasks
so bold can little men engage, and
in soft bosoms dwells such mighty
rage. We can only conclude that
Onyisos remorse and tinge
humiliation had to be known
by the whole world.
It is understandable that we are
living in hard times, and it is hard
to be ones brothers keeper, but
it is not fair to kick a man when
he is already down.
A commendable move
So it was very unfeeling of
Kenyan men not to give their
brother a shoulder to cry on, a
place to lay his head, a helping
hand, I mean, anything to make
him stand on his own two feet
and stay tuned to the music of
the mating dance.
That is not to say that Onyiso
is weak, or weakened, or is in a
position where he needs help; the
point is that he did what any well-
meaning man should do, only that
the space he bought was a tad too
small and was not in a prominent
position.
To put it simply, the step
he took was wonderful, it is
commendable and he deserves
some medal for valour, you know,
for letting the Kenyan man know
that marriage, as some of us (or
let me write for myself) do not
know it, is different from a
wedding, which is increasingly
becoming a fully-sponsored
television show with a badly
written script.
Oh yes, some people might
conclude that the Kenyan man
at all levels of governance and the
economy is under siege or is more
endangered than the wildlife, so
the male-dominated government
should enact policies to literally
empower him.
But Onyisos case exemplies
the big strides Kenyan men
have made behind closed doors
and is, in fact, proof that any
programme that has ever been
mooted to promote public display
of aection is working perfectly
and is up there with all the good
things in life.
Some women remarked that if
their husbands did what Onyiso
who is suspected to be an
astute footballer who has been
a member of the ever-successful
national football team, Harambee
Stars did, they would divorce
them then help them look for
husbands because only women
should do such things.
They could not be more wrong.
Onyiso who is also suspected
to be a brave member of the
gallant Kenya Defence Forces
is the real man, and women
should be trooping to his door
while his brothers should
ensure that he takes advantage
of the Marriage Act as quickly
as possible.
Suce it to say that Onyiso
came out of the matrimonial
closet to declare that he is at peace
with himself, and married men
or those in stable relationships
should follow suit instead of
hiding in that secret bedroom
of romance and come out to
share the joys they experience
after their wives have dragged
them out of drinking joints in
the full glare of their girlfriends
or mistresses.
If Kenyan men needed a Brand
Ambassador, they have just found
one in Mr Onyiso, and media
houses should be the happiest
corporate entities because the
perfect answer to their dwindling
advertising revenues has just
presented itself.
In my book, as an unmarried
parent, Onyiso has not only upset
the matrimonial bed, but has set
new standards in the dating game
and Kenyan women will have to
work extra hard to live up to it.
As to whether it is high or low,
time will denitely tell those who
are madly in love and are looking
forward to living unhappily
ever after their apologies are
published.

THERE IS THIS LINE THAT IS
frequently used when people
break up: It is not you, it is me,
goes the famous, or infamous,
line.
When it was reported that
tourists were leaving the country
faster than tusks and horns are
getting yanked o elephants and
rhinos, that line came to mind
after many patriotic Kenyans
started blaming Western nations.
As tourists leave the country,
the rate of underemployment
increases, but blaming foreigners
for Kenyas predicament will not
improve the situation.
Desperate situations call for
desperate measures, but some
Kenyans are now resorting to
desperate excuses that the
foreign media are out to give us a
bad name by using only negative
pictures from Kenya.
Really? All mainstream Kenyan
newspapers are online and
television networks stream their
news online too, and these bad
reports are part of their menu,
so the country does not need
foreign media to tell the world
how bad things are.
There are also new media
sites where Kenyans are very
active, and which are not under
mainstream media outlets. Even
if local media houses do not
broadcast these bad things,
word and photographs will still
get out there.
Denying that there is insecurity
in Kenya is foolhardy, and it is
Kenyans losing their lives. The
dierence is that unlike Kenya,
those foreign governments value
their citizens, so they evacuate
them.
So, as far as their breaking up
with Kenya goes, the problem is
not them. It is us.
Let us stop blaming our woes on the West; we are the problem

Reusing a
Patients Own
Blood
In heart surgery, a patients own
red blood cells may be a better choice
than blood transfusion.
Transfusions of donated blood can
be lifesaving, but a number of studies
have found it can also increase the risk
of infections and other problems. An
alternative is collecting and reusing
a patients own blood during the
operation.
For the study, published online in
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 12 heart
surgery patients were given only their
own salvaged red blood cells, while 20
other patients were given their own
cells plus varying amounts of stored
donated blood.
Over the next three days, the
researchers measured the exibility of
the cells membranes, an indicator of
blood cell health.
Those who got their own fresh
red blood cells had no changes in
exibility. But getting stored blood
was associated with cell membrane
stiening. The more donated blood
patients received, the longer it took for
their cells to return to normal.
Most surgeries dont require
transfusion, said the senior author, Dr
Steven M. Frank, an associate professor
of anaesthesiology at Johns Hopkins
University. But for specic types of
surgery, it appears that salvaging your
own blood results in a higher quality
transfusion.
The cell salvage device costs about
$35,000 (Sh3,101,000), but a single
use costs about $120 (Sh10,320),
compared with $240 for a transfusion.
When Fewer
Meals Are Better
For people with Type 2 diabetes,
eating two large meals a day may
be better than consuming the same
number of calories in six small meals.
Some diabetes experts recommend
small meals as a better way to control
metabolism, others believe eating
three larger meals is better. Some
believe it makes little dierence one
way or the other.
Czech researchers randomly assigned
54 diabetics
ages 30 to 70
to a 12-week
diet of either
two or six
meals a day.
Both groups
ate the same
number of
daily calories.
Then the
groups
switched
diets for
another 12 weeks. The study appears
online in Diabetologia.
The dierences were not dramatic, but
compared with those eating six meals
a day, those who ate just breakfast
and lunch reduced their weight and
waist circumference. Those eating
fewer meals also had improved fasting
glucose levels, lower liver fat content
and better insulin sensitivity.
Not only our study, but others too,
show that it may be more benecial to
eat a larger breakfast and lunch, with
a small dinner, said the lead author,
Dr Hana Kahleova, a researcher at the
Institute for Clinical and Experimental
Medicine in Prague. We conrmed the
proverb, she added, eat breakfast like
a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner
like a pauper. (NYT)

C
ancer is one of the
most pressing health
challenges, yet about
one third of the most
common cancers could be
prevented through eating a
healthy diet, being physically
active, and maintaining a healthy
body weight.
Scientists are still investigating
how being physically active
prevents some cancers, but
numerous studies show that it
balances hormones, strengthens
ones immune system, and
promotes a healthy digestive
system. Experts agree that
maintaining a healthy body weight
throughout life is one of the most
important ways to protect against
cancer as well as a variety of other
chronic diseases.
According to the World Cancer
Research Fund (WCRF), being
overweight or obese increases
the risk of some cancers. Being
overweight and obese also
increases the risk of conditions
such as high cholesterol levels,
high blood pressure, stroke, type
2 diabetes, and coronary heart
disease.
In their report, Food,
Nutrition, Physical Activity, and
the Prevention of Cancer: a Global
Perspective, there is convincing
evidence that physical activity
protects against colon cancer,
post-menopausal breast cancer
and endometrial cancer.
The World Health Organisations
website says that physical
inactivity is the main cause of up
to 25 per cent of breast and colon
cancers. Additionally, a series of
studies that were published in The
Lancet describes how physical
inactivity levels cause one in 10
deaths worldwide.
Harvard researchers say that
between 500,000 and 1.3 million
lives could be saved every year if
physical inactivity rates were to
go down by even 10 to 20 per
cent. These staggering statistics
demonstrate how physical
inactivity should be considered a
pandemic, and that it should be
treated like any other infectious-
disease pandemic would be.
To address this growing
concern, its important to try to
understand why certain people
and groups of people are physically
active while others are not.
Adrian Bauman, a researcher
from the University of Sydney
in Australia, found ones health
status, being male, young or
wealthy tend to make people
more physically active, as does
family and societal support for
physical activity.
Time spent watching television
and on the computer is another
significant concern. Children
often watch television for more
than three hours a day, and they
are likely to be exposed to the
heavy marketing of high-energy
foods. Statistics indicate that
being overweight that starts in
childhood is likely to be followed
by being overweight and obese in
adulthood.
Urbanisation, rapidly growing
cities, and poverty are other
significant challenges that
have caused people to become
increasingly sedentary. As with
being overweight and obesity,
sedentary ways of life are now
common, if not usual, in most
countries.
It has been estimated that
physical inactivity levels could
be reduced by 31 per cent
through improved environmental
interventions, including
pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly
urban land use and transport,
leisure and workplace facilities,
and policies that support more
active lifestyles.
Moderate physical activity is
necessary for all regardless
of weight, health condition or
age to achieve optimal health
and ght o cancer. People who
do sedentary work should take
special care to build moderate
and vigorous physical activity
into their everyday lives.
Strive to get at least 30 minutes
of moderate physical activity on
most days of the week the more
the better. As tness improves,
aim for 60 minutes or more of
moderate, or for 30 minutes or
more of vigorous physical activity
every day.

knew it was destined for

publish a post about it, his editor
made a request. Zimmerman
was to include the epilogue
omitted by almost every other

For telling the whole story,
Zimmerman paid a price.
That video did tremendously
well for practically everyone who

Why should one sad detail
mean the difference between
an online megahit and a dud?
What makes content go viral?
Social sharing is powerful
enough to topple dictatorships
and protable enough to merit
multibillion-dollar investments.
But scientists are only beginning
to explore the psychological
motivations that turn a link into
click bait and propel a piece of
content to Internet fame. Their
research may have significant
implications for the media and
advertising businesses, whose
prots hinge on winning the cut-
throat race for the attention of
Internet users worldwide. Some
notions of the ingredients in this
modern alchemy are beginning
to emerge.
If you want to melt the Internet,
best to traffic in emotion,
researchers have found. The
emotional response can be happy
or sad, but the more intense it is,
the more likely the story is to
be passed along. In a study led
by Rosanna Guadagno, a social
psychologist at the University of
Texas at Dallas, 256 participants
much preferred to forward a
funny video than one of a man
treating his own spider bite. But
they were likely to share any video
that evoked an intense emotional
response, Guadagno found.
Similarly, Jonah Berger and
Katherine Milkman, professors
at the Wharton School at the
University of Pennsylvania, have
found that uplifting articles are
more likely than disheartening
ones to land on the most-emailed
list at The New York Times. But
even stories evoking rage or other
negative, strong emotions are
emailed by readers more often than
ones that are simply depressing.
People share things they have
strong emotional reactions
to, especially strong positive
reactions, Guadagno said.
Dissemination of emotions
Sharing is not just how information
ripples across communities;
its also how emotions are
disseminated. Recently, analysts at
Facebook, Yale and the University
of California, San Diego, reviewed
more than 1 billion posts by
Facebook users, and found that
when users vented on a rainy
day, their friends in other cities
posted bleak status updates
more frequently than normal.
But positive status updates
were even more contagious,
prompting upbeat updates from
friends at even greater rates. The
conclusion: Online, as in real life,
feelings can be caught like the u.
The most shared post at Upworthy,
a site for shareable content, is a
video about a boy who died of
cancer, but not before producing
a hit song and performing sold-
out shows. The post has racked up
nearly 20 million views. (NYT)

If you must drink, do so with care
BY TOROOTI MWIRIGI
nation@askadoc.co.ke
Dear Doc,
I drink beer regularly; does this mean
I am an alcoholic? Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
There are dierent levels of drinking,
and drinking regularly does not make a
person an alcoholic. A regular drinker
can be a person who does not cause any
problems. Such drinkers do not take more
alcohol than they can handle, and do not
cause any chaos after drinking. Problem
drinkers may drink once a week but their
drinking is abnormal and characterised by
drinking too much and causing chaos
An alcoholic is a person who is
dependent on alcohol. He or she cannot
limit the amount of alcohol he/she takes,
can drink at any time of the day, and does
not care about the brand he/she is taking.
An alcoholics life revolves around alcohol,
and their drinking aects their lives. This
typically means that an alcoholic will have
specic social symptoms such as a poor
relationship with his or her family, inability
to attend to routine expected duties at work
or home, and/or problems with the law.
Dear Doc,
I am two months pregnant. Why is
alcohol prohibited during pregnancy and
what are the likely side-eects of drinking
when one is in this condition?
Joselyn
Part of the antenatal advice given to
a woman is to avoid alcohol. No specic
amount of alcohol has been said to be safe
during pregnancy, since even moderate
consumption can aect the development
of the babys brain. Therefore, to protect
your babys health, it is best that you
refrain from alcohol completely. Women
who drink during pregnancy are at a
higher risk of having a miscarriage and
stillbirth. Too much consumption of
alcohol during pregnancy can cause
foetal alcohol syndrome, which leads to
the baby being born with heart problems,
low birth weight, facial deformities and
mental retardation. Any pregnant woman
who is concerned about her pre-pregnancy
drinking should discuss this with a doctor
since it can have eects on the outcome
of the pregnancy.
Dear Doc,
Which is the best treatment for
alcoholism?
Nathaniel
Dear Nathaniel,
Alcoholism is a disease that is
characterised by a lot of denial. The rst
requirement for helping an alcoholic is
to get him or her, and the people living
around them, to recognise that the person
has a drinking problem. This might require
the intervention of the family, employer, or
a spiritual adviser. Alcoholics like justifying
their drinking, for example, they might
compare themselves with their drinking
mates and believe that they are better
than them. Once the person recognises
that there is a problem, professional help
can be sought.
Detoxication can then be carried out
to help the person cope with the negative
withdrawal symptoms. However, this is
not enough since alcohol aects three
areas of the body, namely the body,
mind, and soul. All these areas need to
be addressed simultaneously in order
to help the alcoholic. Joining a support
group can greatly help the recovery process
since the person gets to meet and hold
discussions with people who have had
similar experiences.
Dear Doc,
Is there a way of telling that person
has a drinking problem? Concerned
Dear Concerned,
Alcohol has been widely used for
leisure throughout history. However,
there are certain signs that a person has
a drinking problem. These might include
behaviour such as keeping ones drinking
a secret or drinking by oneself, drinking
with the aim of getting drunk, hiding
alcohol in odd places, drinking in order
to get away from ones problems, higher
tolerance of alcohol levels, and getting
angry when one cannot obtain alcohol.
Other signs are feeling guilty about ones
drinking, inability to account for the
number of drinks one has taken, getting
into trouble at work, school, with the law
or at home, and inability to control the
urge to drink.
Dear Doc
What is binge drinking? Is it
harmful?
Alex
Dear Alex
Binge drinking is the drinking of large
amounts of alcohol within a very short
time. This is usually done to achieve a
high quickly. Binge drinking is common
among college and high school students,
and also at parties. It is harmful since it
feeds the body too much alcohol within a
short time, making it dicult for the body
to metabolise alcohol in an ideal manner.
This can lead to short-term consequences
such as a high degree of intoxication, short-
term memory loss, loss of consciousness
or even a comma or death. It is advisable
to drink controllably in order to avoid the
harmful eects of binge drinking.

Health professionals will provide you with a
detailed response.
It is no secret that drinking alcohol can have major health
consequences, some of which are fatal. Early this month, more than 80
Kenyans died and several others left blind after consuming illicit brews.
A recent report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicates that
alcohol contributes to the deaths of 3.3 million people globally. Alcohol
is not only associated with injuries and violence, but is also linked to
high risk of more than 200 diseases, including cirrhosis of the liver,
cardiovascular diseases, and many types of cancers, such as those of
the larynx and colon. It is worth noting that most people who develop
alcohol-related health problems are not exactly alcoholics, but merely
people who have often taken more than the recommended amount of
alcohol over the years.

When you drink alcohol, it aects almost
all the parts of the body. Alcohol, which
is mainly ethanol (others like methanol
are poisonous), can alter the chemistry of
the brain and can be fatal if taken in large
quantities.
The metabolism of ethanol takes place
in the liver at an approximate rate of
one drink per hour, although this varies
depending on an individuals weight,
gender, age, and whether they had taken
a meal before starting to drink or while
drinking.
When ingested in the stomach, about a
fth is absorbed into the blood system
through blood vessels in the stomach
membrane. The remaining four fths goes
to the small intestines, where it is also
absorbed into the blood system.
Once in the blood stream, alcohol ows
to the liver, where it is metabolised or
broken down by enzymes.
The liver can metabolise approximately
one standard drink (422 ml of a standard
4.2 per cent alcohol beer or 44 ml of a
40 per cent whisky) in one hour. Any
excess amount cannot be metabolised by
the liver. As a result, the excess alcohol
saturates the blood system and nds its
way to body tissues as it waits for the
liver to metabolise it.
When in the tissues, alcohol interferes
with various body systems since it
can cause an imbalance of hormonal
activities. For example, alcohol aects
balance by altering the viscosity of the
endolymph (the uid inside the semi-
circular component inside the ear).
The endolymph neighbours the capula,
which has hair cells within the semi-
circular canals. When the head is tilted,
the endolymph ows and inuences
the capula to move. As a result, the hair
cells bend, sending signals to the central
nervous system (CNS) indicating the
angle or direction at which the head is
tilted. When alcohol alters the viscosity
of the endolymph, the movement of hair
cells increases, thereby sending signals
to the CNS, resulting in exaggerated and
overcompensated body movements. This
is why a person who is drunk has trouble
balancing.
Other body parts including the eyes and
co-ordination of limbs are also aected.
In addition, alcohol can aect sleep
patterns, basic motor co-ordination,
thoughts and emotions.
Since alcohol aects the brain, people
who drink sometimes have problems with
their memory.
However, some studies have associated
moderate consumption of alcohol with
some health benets to the heart.
Basically, for a healthy person, a drink per
day (as earlier dened) for women and
two for men is considered moderate.
For anyone below 18 years, there is no
legal or healthy amount, so they should
stay away from alcohol.
This is what alcohol does to you

It was late afternoon a
few days later. The sun was
descending towards the
western horizon and crickets
began to chirp. Grandmother
brought out a small oil lamp
to write by, and Grandfather
settled back into his chair to
continue his letter to Martha.
16th October 2001
Your Grandmother and
I have just returned from
Kisumu. While we were there,
your Grandmother saw a man
talking into one of those small
phones you call mobiles. She
shouted, Look, that young
mans talking on obile! The
man stopped for a second
and looked at us but, seeing
that your Grandmother was
completely surprised, he
smiled and went on talking on
his mobile phone.
All this happened near
Ramogi Studio where we had
our pictures taken with you
and Caleb.
Did you know that
Oginga was also called
Joramogi? You know that
Ramogi was the ancestor of
all the Luo people. People
were impressed that Oginga
promoted our traditional
customs and they began
to call him Ja-Ramogi,
or Man of Ramogi. Yes,
everything Oginga did was
consistent with the way of our
ancestors.
Oginga accepted his new
name. This name announces
his ancestry to the whole
world. I am emphasizing this
point because there are some
people who are ashamed of
their ethnic groups.
They suer from what
we call an identity crisis. But
Oginga was proud of his
African identity as a Luo.
Now, Ogingas parents
did not have a lot of money.
They could not send all their
children to School, and had
to decide which one would
benet from the education
of the colonial government.
Oginga was the one chosen
to go to school, even though
he was the youngest son. I
think maybe this was because
he had fullled that prophesy
of being born on that sacred
stone, that he would be a
great leader of his people.

Farmers will soon be paid based on
the quality of their cane rather than the
weight of the delivery.
In the new system proposed by the
industry regulator, the Kenya Sugar
Board (KSB), farmers will be paid
depending on the level of sucrose in
sugarcane. This is a departure from the
current system where growers are paid
based on the weight of their produce.
The new system is considered con-
venient in the sugar business.
Kenya Sugar Board invites tenders
from eligible candidates for design,
construction, supply, installation,
testing, training, commissioning, and
handing over of nine cane-testing units
at nine dierent cane-buying centres,
read the tender.
Since 2009, the Kenya Sugar Re-
search Foundation has been running
pilot tests of the model at the state-
owned Nzoia Sugar Company after be-
ing handed the responsibility by KSB.
An ocial at the board said the
model would be a game changer in
the sugar industry since both the farm-
ers and the millers stand to benet.
Sucrose content
It is going to revolutionise cane
farming as there are farmers who work
hard, but all they get is payment for
weight while millers benet from high
sucrose content, said KSB director
Saul Busolo.
Millers have also been suffering,
thanks to the current system because
some of the deliveries have low su-
crose content, yet they are heavy, Mr
Busolo added.
Under the current weight-based
system, factories determine an average
rate which they pay cane farmers (at
the moment it is about Sh4,000 per
tonne) regardless of quality.
The price is mainly determined by
the prevailing cost of sugar in the
country, which is under perennial pres-
sure from cheap imports that ood the
market.
The price of cane currently is uni-
form regardless of the sucrose content
and the situation is part of the reason
of the high cost of production in the
country with inconsistent returns to
both farmers and the millers, said Mr
Busolo.
The model was one of the condi-
tions to which the sugar industry
was required to conform as part of
the deal for the extension of Comesa
safeguards.
The new system is expected to bring
about eciency since every factory will
seek to maximise on sucrose extrac-
tion from cane. Sucrose is the major
ingredient for making sugar.
According to industry statistics, the
countrys sugar extraction level is cur-
rently averaged at 10:1 (10 tonnes of
cane produce a tonne of sugar) against
the global average of 7:1.
Cane farmers are also set to benet
from by-products such as cogenera-
tion, ethanol, and molasses, which
currently belong to millers.
There are millers, especially the
state-owned ones, that are very inef-
ficient, doing 14:1. Under the new
model, they will incur losses while
farmers benet, said Mr Busolo, who
is in charge of the Nzoia sugar zone.
The new method also promises to
motivate farmers to work hard and
produce a quality crop.
It is not clear, however, how the pric-
ing will be arrived at but the equipment
is expected to be installed within mill-
ers premises. Farmers representatives
will oversee its operation.
The testing units, expected to be
ready by early next year, could be an
attempt by the industry to align itself
with international best practices, hav-
ing been granted one more year by
Comesa to streamline the business.
Numerous challenges
The country was granted a one-year
extension at the 32nd meeting of the
Comesa council of ministers in Febru-
ary. The safeguards were due to expire
that month.
The sugar industry faces numerous
challenges that range from high op-
eration costs, poor cane quality, and
inltration of illegal sugar imports that
make it dicult for local millers to op-
erate protably. The Comesa window
was rst introduced in 2003 and Kenya
was given a four-year waiver, with the
subsequent extensions in 2007 and
2011.
Initially, the treaty provided for
a maximum of eight years but was
amended in December 2007 to help
Kenya avoid contravening Comesa
trade remedy regulations.

Cheap imports
could run down
local tyres, says firm
TYRE MAKER SAMEER Africa has
raised the alarm over an increase in
cheap imports, saying they could crip-
ple local production.
The rm said the imports are retailing
at prices way below the countrys cost
of production. This, the rm said, has
hurt its sales.
Company chairman Erastus Mwongera
said tight liquidity in the Kenyan mar-
ket following reduction in government
expenditure is negatively aecting its
major clients.
Unfortunately, we expect this trend
to continue into much of 2014, he said
at the rms AGM last Friday.
Sameer Africa is East Africas sole tyre
maker, but the region is ooded by im-
ported tyres, especially from Asia.
In Kenya, for instance, imports consti-
tute 50 per cent of the tyre market, with
China being the main supplier thanks to
its large number of manufacturers.
Mr Mwongera said many countries in
the region were price-sensitive markets,
making them susceptible to cheaper
brands.
Imported raw materials
The retail and wholesale prices of
some of these products are now well
below the expected minimum cost of
production, transport, insurance, cus-
toms duty, putting us at a signicant
and unfair disadvantage, he said.
Mr Mwongera said that although the
companys cost of imported raw materi-
als went down by 18 per cent, this was
eroded by price competition in the year
ending December 2013.
In an eort to confront the competi-
tion, Sameer Africa plans to secure a
new technical partner to contribute
capital and equipment, which are
critical for the company to increase its
product base.

Consumers will pay an extra
Sh2 per unit of electricity start-
ing this month. This is because
depressed rainfall has reduced the
water levels in key dams, forcing
the country to use thermal power.
The government had pledged to
lower the cost of electricity by 40
per cent to make the country an
attractive investment destination.
This promise will now be put on
hold.
The fuel cost charge will rise
to Sh7.22/kwh from Sh5.19/kwh
from May as a result of increased
thermal generation. This will
ensure recovery of unrecovered
amounts from January to May
2014, said Energy Regulatory
Commission (ERC) acting direc-
tor-general Fredrick Nyang.
Spilling points
Kenya Power has since January
been recovering the pass-through
cost from monthly power bills as
more thermal output displaced
hydropower, with the dams shed-
ding 10 metres of their spilling
points this month.
The outstanding amount is
Sh2.4 billion. This will be gradu-
ally recovered in the monthly
power bills up to November this
year, said the Kenya Power man-
aging director, Mr Ben Chumo,
during a tour of the Masinga dam
last week.
Thermal power currently ac-
counts for 42 per cent of the total
electricity, more than double the
level recorded during the same
period last year when it accounted
for just 19 per cent.
Expensive thermal power was
to be removed last December and
replaced with aordable geother-
mal electricity.
ERC says the expected cost of
fuel charge is likely to reduce with
the commissioning of 280MW ge-
othermal projects and resumption
of the short rains in October.
Upsurge of thermal use
The commissioning of the
280MW geothermal power
projects experienced delays,
hence the need to reduce the ex-
traction levels so as to extend the
available storage. Consequently,
an upsurge of thermal use to
meet demand, hence increasing
fuel costs, said Dr Nyang.
Hydro is the predominant
source of power in Kenya but it
is currently facing challenges be-
cause of low rain. This has left the
country in a tough situation, with
the possibility of rationing power
or turning to diesel plants.
Kenyas current installed capac-
ity is 1,700MW against demand
for 2,236MW, leaving a shortfall
of 536MW, and this is after pro-
viding for a 30 per cent reserve
margin.
While thermals are mainly
concentrated at the Coast, com-
pletion of the Mombasa-Nairobi
400KV line will also reduce trans-
mission losses, currently at 18 per
cent, because of its high voltage
carrying capacity to the capital,
where 60 per cent of the demand
is concentrated.
Manufacturers, however, insist
on the availability, stability, and
reliability of the power supplied.
It is better if we have expen-
sive but consistent power in the
national grid, said Pradeep Paun-
rana, the managing director Athi
River Mining Ltd, the cement
manufacturers.
Mr Paunrana is also the incom-
ing chairman of the Kenya Asso-
ciation of Manufacturers (KAM).
Dedicated lines
There is a need to catch up on
electricity generation. While this
is part of the Jubilee manifesto,
it is also in line with the KAM
business agenda. Coordination
of these projects with the private
sector will avoid passing on un-
necessary costs to consumers,
added Mr Paunrana.
We are among the top 200
consumers of power and we
would do with dedicated lines
of reliable power. This will help
lower our production costs and
make us competitive, he said.

Bread firm plans
to put up Sh1bn
wheat, maize mills
A local bakery plans to set up Sh1
billion our mills as it seeks to meet in-
creased market demand.
Kenblest Ltd, which also deals in
mineral water and plastic bags, will
instal 300-tonne mills for its wheat and
maize our arms. Each mill will have
a 150-tonne capacity. They will boost
our output tremendously and meet the
growing market in the counties, said
Neel Shah, one of the directors.
Kenblest currently produces 140
tonnes of wheat our and 60 tonnes
of maize our daily. Mr Shah said this
would increase to 300 tonnes and 200
tonnes respectively by the end of the
year once the new mills start operating.
The rm will also introduce high-end
products. Currently, the company has
seven varieties of white bread and four
of brown bread. Kenya is home to more
than a thousand bakeries, with Ken-
blests most erce competitors being
Supa Loaf and Broadway.
Euromonitor Internationals Bakery in
Kenya April report states that 42 per
cent of the bread market is dominated
by artisanal producers. These rms have
been spurred by the Uchumi, Nakumatt,
Tuskys, and Naivas retail chains, which
bake their own bread.
Artisanal goods
Artisanal goods are performing well
in the market because they are found in
urban areas, where there is a sizeable
population, and many consumers prefer
to purchase them due to their aord-
ability and freshness, read the report.
Mr Shah said he believes that the
investment would spur the companys
growth and its future plans to manu-
facture other goods. The rms huge
investment in supply chain and distribu-
tion is slowly paying o, he said.

Baringo signs Sh6bn diatomite deal with Chinese rm
The Chinese have been invited to mine
diatomite in Baringo. The county has sealed a
Sh6 billion deal with Chuansian International
Company to produce over 200,000 tonnes of
the mineral every year.
Governor Benjamin Cheboi said the deal,
expected to create over 300 jobs, is a key
milestone in the countys quest to develop,
as outlined in its integrated development plan
and Vision 2030.
We will continue oering an enabling en-
vironment to attract local, inter-county, and
international investments. We are liaising
with the central government to assure the in-
vestors of their security, said Mr Cheboi last
week during the signing of the deal with the
Chinese rm in Kabarnet.
The county is rich in minerals such as ruby,
iron ore, gold, manganese, and uorspar.
If harnessed, the governor said, the miner-
als would stimulate the countys economy.
Mr Cheboi was with his deputy, Mr Mathew
Tuitoek, and members of the county execu-
tive.
Chuansian International directors Symon
Kitambaa and Li Song said area residents
would benefit from projects and social
amenities such as boreholes, schools, and
hospitals.
China market
Employment opportunities will not be a re-
serve for one community. We are all under one
county and all communities will be brought
on board to benet, said Mr Kitambaa.
Mr Song said China would be a major mar-
ket for diatomite, which is used for ltration
and in aviation.
The proceeds of the resource, found in
Bartabwa and Ribkwo/Kositei wards in Bar-
ingo North and Tiaty, will be shared equally
between the Tugen and the Pokot.
Five plants for processing the mineral will
be set up in the next three years.
Kaborion Kositei Ribkwo (Kakori) Develop-
ment Trust chairman Joseph Lotodo said the
Pokot and the Tugen have agreed to co-exist
peacefully for the sake of development.
The investment will go a long way in end-
ing raids as idle youths who have been engag-
ing in cattle rustling will get employment. It
is good that the new Constitution recognises
community land. They (residents) will benet
directly from royalties being generated from
the investment, Mr Lotodo said.
Biomass
Baringo County has signed another Sh600
billion deal with Cummins Cogeneration
Kenya Ltd to generate biomass from the
obnoxious prosopis (mathenge) weed, which
grows in the region.
The project, which targets ve other coun-
tries in Africa, seeks to generate more than
10,000MW of clean electricity by 2020.
Sun-baked Taity, in Baringo, bears the brunt of
perennial droughts. The area, however, is rich in

Five global rms plan to set up hotels
in Kenya this year with a capacity of 704
rooms. The planned hotels are, however,
fewer compared to Kenyas peers such
as Nigeria, which has attracted 40 hotel
chains, as investors seek to tap increased
business travel in the continent.
The investment in Nigeria will see
6,614 hotel rooms set up.
With the ve new hotels, Kenya ranks
twelfth in Africa far below its rivals.
The ve are Radisson Blu and Park Inn,
both franchises of Carlson Rezidor,
DusitD2, Hilton Garden Inn by Hilton,
and Elewana Hotel, according to Hotel
Chain Development Pipelines in Africa
2014 report by the W Hospitality Group.
One of the reasons the chains are do-
ing less in Kenya is that the local players
are quite dominant, said W Hospitality
Group head Trevor Ward.
Our survey includes only the chains,
and not the independents such as
Sankara, which is just starting construc-
tion of its second hotel.
In the continent, Radisson Blu and
its sister brand, Park Inn, occupy the
rst and third positions on account of
the number of rooms in the pipeline.
However, the ranking of the two brands
operated by Carlson Rezidor slip to sec-
ond and fourth positions when the actual
number of rooms planned is taken into
consideration, overtaken by Hilton and
Marriott.
In January this year, Marriott Interna-
tionals chief executive, Arne Sorenson,
told Bloomberg Television at the World
Economic Forum in Davos that the hotel
was considering opening shop in Kenya,
Ethiopia, and Nigeria. We could be in
Kenya very soon, he said.
The W Hospitality Group report,
which tracks planned hotel development
in 54 African countries, only lists con-
rmed deals, although not necessarily or
actually under construction.
Information is also gathered from
hotels which operate in more than one
country globally or, in the case of African
chains, the hotel has to have a presence
in at least one other country on the con-
tinent.
The 2014 survey is based on contri-
butions from 27 hotel chains with 60
brands between them. Of the 27 hotel
chains, 24 are operating in Africa, with
about 84,000 rooms. Those planned for
construction represent almost 50 per
cent of the existing branded supply, the
report indicated.
Sub-Saharan Africa is really proving
to be the hotel growth story of the 21st
century, Mr Ward noted, adding that in
2014, the 49 sub-Saharan Africa coun-
tries have a pipeline which is 40 per cent
greater than North Africa.
Planned hotels in North Africa were
aected by unrest, particularly in Egypt.
This prompted some deals that were in
the pipeline to be suspended or can-
celled.
Also, not all the reported deals signed
are actually actively built or completed
on time, given the dicult business en-
vironment in Africa.
Favourite spot
Besides Nigeria, which is the favourite
spot for planned hotels in Africa, other
countries in the top 10 are Morocco,
Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, South
Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Senegal in
that order.
In Kenya, Villa Rosa Kempinski, estab-
lished in 1897 as a luxury hotel group,
opened its doors to guests last year with
200 rooms. In May the same year, Hem-
ingways, a global hotel chain, opened a
Sh1.5 billion hotel in Nairobi, targeting
the growing luxury and travel business.
Marriott, another five-star interna-
tional hotel, said it would open an outlet
in Kenya by 2015 in a Sh127 billion ($1.5
billion) investment in Kenya, Ethiopia,
Ghana, Benin, Gabon, Nigeria, and
Rwanda.

As President Uhuru Keny-
attas government moves to
forestall the imminent collapse
of tourism on account of travel
advisories and rising insecurity,
a number of other factors are
threatening to halt economic
growth.
Last week, Mr Kenyatta re-
leased a list of incentives to help
jumpstart the sector.
However, the big challenge
rests in tackling drought, already
being experienced in parts of the
country, and the El Nino weather
conditions predicted for later in
the year.
The shilling has already taken
a beating, largely on news of the
slowdown in tourism. The weak-
ening of the local unit against the
surge in oil prices has added to
the problems that the govern-
ment will have to grapple with as
it seeks to steer growth in all sec-
tors, most of which had subdued
activity last year.
In 2013, the economy regis-
tered a growth of 4.7 per cent, a
slight improvement from the 4.6
per cent realised in 2012.
According to projections, in
the medium term, the growth is
expected to rise past the seven
per cent mark in 2017. The gov-
ernment has set its target at 5.7
per cent in the next nancial year.
Experts, however, say that unless
there is an industrial miracle, this
is not likely to be the case.
Tourists from Europe were
recently evacuated over fears
of terrorist attacks. The travel
advisories have caused the loss
of 4,000 jobs, a bad sign for an
industry that is yet to recover to
the levels of 2011.
Travel advisories
Tourism earned the country
Sh94 billion last year, which was
a drop from the Sh96 billion re-
alised in 2012.
The travel advisories by sev-
eral countries, among them the
US, UK, and Australia, have had
a negative destination percep-
tion on Kenya. As a result, the
brand equity of the destination
is at stake, future cancellations
may lead to loss of the upcoming
peak season, said Kenya Tourist
Board Managing Director Mr
Muriithi Ndegwa, last week.
The government reacted to the
ominous signs in the industry by
initiating tax changes to encour-
age local tourism and attract
more foreign tourists. These in-
clude removing value added tax,
quick tax refunds, and reducing
entry fees to national parks.
It is feared that terrorist at-
tacks could delay foreign direct
investments at a time when the
Ministry of Industrialisation and
Enterprise Development is tar-
geting to attract $1 billion (Sh85
billion) in 2015, from about $400
million (Sh34 billion) last year.
The weather challenges are
also expected to impact nega-
tively on agriculture, a sector that
last year registered 2.9 per cent
growth, down from a revised 4.2
per cent realised in 2012, setting
o alarm bells among farmers
and the public.
Undoubtedly, the ripple eect
will be felt in the manufacturing
sector as agricultural produce
forms a signicant part of raw
materials.
There are reports of reduced
production levels of cereals,
including maize and wheat, the
staple food for most Kenyans.
This, experts say, does not augur
well for the economy as food
contributes about 40 per cent of
the factors that determine ina-
tion levels.
For example, a survey by the
Uasin Gishu County department
of agriculture released last week
indicates that most of the maize
crop has failed to germinate.
Due to rainfall failure, crops
experienced about 30 per cent
germination rate, which will lead
to poor harvest, said the Uasin
County director of agriculture,
Mr Joseph Cheboi.
Farmers in Uasin Gishu have
reduced acreage under crops to
77,225 hectares from 92,500,
further denting food production
in Kenya.
Shilling takes beating
Other counties in North Rift
that have reduced the acreage un-
der crop are Trans Nzoia, Uasin
Gishu, Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet,
West Pokot, Baringo, Nakuru,
and Bungoma.
The shilling last week weak-
ened against the dollar, hitting
a low mark last experienced 28
months ago because of increased
demand for dollars by importers
in the energy and manufacturing
sectors.
We are having a dicey situa-
tion right now as the scenario is
that of fast disappearing forex,
which makes the oating of the
Eurobond an urgent issue, as our
capital account is fast being de-
pleted. The shilling could breach
the Sh90 to-the-dollar mark in
coming weeks, and this is our
immediate challenge, said Mr
Gitau Githogo, an economist.
The low commodity prices in
key sectors such as tea and cof-
fee have exacerbated the prob-
lem of reduced foreign exchange
earnings.
Mr Githogo said the weaken-
ing of the shilling raises the pros-
pect of higher fuel prices that will
have a spiral eect on other sec-
tors such as manufacturing and
agriculture due to increase cost
of production.
The economy, according to
the Economic Survey 2014, grap-
pled with erratic weather and
increased threats of terrorism in
2013, which impacted negatively
on tourist arrivals and agricul-
ture. The twin problems are again
bound to aect growth in 2015.
Reduced economic activity in
key sectors, according to experts,
has the prospect of reducing rev-
enue collection, foreign exchange,
leading to further job losses, and
slowing down investment in the
hospitality industry.
Net eect
The economic activities are
linked to tax collection perform-
ance. If the activities are reduced,
then we are not likely to collect
the over Sh1 trillion set by the
Kenya Revenue Authority. The
net effect is that we will not
achieve the 5 per cent growth
rate set by the government, said
Mr John Mutua, a programme of-
cer at the Institute of Economic
Aairs.
Tourism employs 350,000
people directly while millions de-
pend on the business indirectly.

25 per cent of the gross domestic
product, employs 60 per cent

according to trends, whenever
the sector performance poorly,
the economy registers muted
growth.
We have experienced mar-
ginal increase in the cost of
production and some farmers
have reduced their acreage. The
current price increase is due to
inationary pressure and is also
partly contributed by millers who
have stockpiled as we are likely
to face shortages in the months
of July and August, said Mr John
Mbuni, an agricultural expert.
The meteorological depart-
ment has predicted an El Nino
phenomenon, which leads to
oods and destruction of prop-
erty and crops. This is likely to
impact negatively on already
poorly performing business.
As a consequence, the price
of maize meal, a staple food for
many in the country, has in re-

The net eect of this is a rise
in the ination rate as food items

CUSTOMER CARE LUCY KIRUTHU
QUITE OFTEN, we forget that customers are
people rst; we tend to put customers in a sort
of special grouping. In certain organisations
customers are described using terms such as
stubborn, dicult, arrogant, and not under-
standing.
In such organisations the people aspect in
interacting with customers is far removed and
left to those considered friends. In other or-
ganisations, customers are seen as worthy of
respect, easy to work with, and considerate. In
such organisations the people aspect is well in-
grained in everyday customer interactions and
customers are seen as friends.
The selling and service that happen between
organisations involve people either directly or
indirectly. Directly, people make the purchase
decisions and use the products and services
provided to them. Indirectly, people develop
policies, systems, and standards that guide
service delivery and product quality. It is im-
portant for all sta to realise that customers
are people rst. Each customer is unique in
their own special way and should be treated as
a unique human being.
The people aspect in customers makes them
emotive. Customers express their feelings
about our products or services at every op-
portunity. In most customer service sessions,
I prefer to dene customer service from this
emotive perspective. I believe that when we
interact with our customers, we need to make
them feel great about being our customers; so
great that they not only come back but also
share their positive experience with others and
refer them to us. That may sound easier said
than done, but it is possible if we consider cus-
tomers as people rst.
People like to be treated with respect and
so do customers. In fact, I consider showing
respect for one another as one of the greatest
values in this world. One of the core values at
Wal-Mart Stores is Respect for the Individual.
When I worked there, I witnessed this value
guiding our behaviour towards one another
and our customers every day, and we por-
trayed great respect.
Laurence Sterne, an English novelist and
Anglican clergyman, once said: Respect for
others guides our manners.
Respecting customers as people rst means
many things: It means listening to what our
customers have to say, treating them with
courtesy, being honest with them, informing
them in advance of changes that will aect
them, never being rude, and apologising when
we mess up.
Being respectful is reected in our everyday
actions and reactions. Even when customers
disrespect us, the simple notion that we need
them more than they need us should make us
remain respectful and respectable.
In summary, know your customers as people
rst, customers second. If you are in what is
often referred to as business-to-business en-
vironment, recognise that businesses do not
do business with business; people in those
businesses work with people in other busi-
nesses. Knowing your customers as people
rst helps grow the relationship beyond that of
customer-supplier.
At every opportunity, appreciate your cus-
tomers, listen a little more, express willingness
to help, keep them informed, and make them
feel valued.
As I take time o this June and July, I believe
that there will be much more to share with you
when I resume in August. To all of you, thank
you for the continued interactions.

Court ruling opens new chapter in internet data
CATCH 22 DECISION HIGHLIGHTS FIRMS TOUGH BALANCING ACT BETWEEN RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND PUBLIC INTEREST
technology
BY MUTHOKI MUMO
mumumo@ke.nationmedia.com
In this information age, many peo-
ple have personal data or photographs
captured on the internet that they wish
would be erased. As many an internet
user has discovered, this is nearly always
impossible.
However, for citizens of the Euro-
pean Union (EU), erasing some of their
digital footprint became monumentally
easier last week following a judgment by
the regions highest court.
On May 13, the European Court of
Justice (ECJ) made a ruling backing
right to be forgotten on the web. In
a nutshell, the judgment empowers citi-
zens of the EU to request search engine
operators such as Google to take down
certain personal data.
The judgment has wide implications
on the discourse regarding privacy,
freedom of expression, and the right
to information in a digital era. It is also
expected to aect data protection policy
far beyond the EU.
The EU has set a lot of precedents
on issues related to the internet. The
decision will be closely analysed across
the world, said Mr Victor Kapiyo, a pro-
gramme ocer with the International
Commission or Jurists.
The judgment was the culmination
of a four-year tussle between a Spanish
citizen, Mario Costeja Gonzlez, and
internet giant, Google. Mr Gonzlez
sought to compel Google to remove
from its search results links to an old
newspaper notice highlighting nancial
troubles he had gone through in 1998.
The ruling made by the ECJ expounds
on a European Parliament directive
made in 1995. The court deemed that
individuals have the right to have links
to personal data that is inadequate,
irrelevant, or excessive pulled down
from search engines.
Kenyas data protection law has been
in draft form for the past two years. The
judgment made by the ECJ is at once
similar but also signicantly removed
from the provisions of Kenyas Consti-
tution and the contents of the draft Data
Protection Bill 2012.
Article 35 of the Constitution pro-
vides that Kenyans have the right to
correction or deletion of untrue or
misleading information that aects the
person. Under the ECJ judgment, how-
ever, personal data does not need to be
inaccurate or unlawfully published for it
to qualify for a take-down from search
engines.
It will be interesting to see if it is
possible to successfully bring a case
seeking the deletion of an oending
article appearing in a Google search in
a Kenyan court, relying on Article 31 (of
the Constitution) and arguing that free-
dom of expression is qualied by Article
33 (3), said Mr Stephen Mallowah, the
head of the commercial department at
MMC Advocates Africa, in a note sent
to Smart Company.
The ruling will also have a direct
impact on the day-to-day operations of
search engine operators. These compa-
nies have been put in a position where
they will have to judge between two
competing interests the individuals
right to privacy and the publics right to
information.
In the ECJs judgment and proposals
contained in Kenyas draft Data Protec-
tion Bill, companies do not have to com-
ply with requests to delete certain data.
They have to weigh each request on a
case-by-case basis. In some cases, such
as those involving public gures, the in-
dividual right to privacy is outweighed
by the public need to know.
There is no easy formula that can
take all these into consideration. And
even then, the question is: Are search
engine operators the proper arbiters of
such profound concerns?
The ruling has signicant implica-
tions for how we handle take-down
requests. This is logistically compli-
cated not least because of the many
languages involved and the need for
careful review. As soon as we have
thought through exactly how this will
work, which may take several weeks, we
will let our users know, said Google in
a statement.
Search engines already have poli-
cies to cover the removal of links to
information that is problematic such
as hate speech or content that breaches
copyright law. There are concerns that
attempts to protect the right to privacy
may inadvertently lead to censorship on
the web.
Mr Mallowah says the judgment high-
lights an emerging dichotomy in global
thought on the right to privacy and free-
dom of expression. This decision could
never be enforced in the United States
with its belief that free speech trumps
everything. Europe, on the other hand,
has legal traditions that give preference
to privacy, with France recognising the
right of oblivion for criminals who
have served their time.
During an annual general meeting
last week, Googles executive chairman,
Mr Eric Schmidt, told the shareholders
that the European court had struck the
wrong balance between the right to pri-
vacy and the right to know.
It sets a very dangerous precedent
when anyone can say they dont want
their information on a search engine,
said technology commentator, Mr Ali
Hussein.
European court ruling empowers
citizens of that region to request search
engine operators such as Google to take
down certain personal data

Customer service is undoubtedly
one of the central pillars of a success-
ful company. This is because without
customers, you simply do not have a
business to speak of.
What does customer care entail?
This is the question that John Tschohl,
a customer service guru, sought to
answer last week during a workshop
organised by Amadeus and the Kenya
Association of Travel Agents. Cus-
tomer care, Mr Tschohl said, is so
crucial that it plays an important role
in the stabilisation of the economy.
Kenya needs an update of customer
service strategies to stabilise its econ-
omy, he told Smart Company.
The Minnesota-born expert shared
insights on customer care with more
than 200 leaders of companies.
Mr Tschohl said Kenyan companies
are increasingly focusing on growing
revenue using a variety of ways, but
are ignoring excellent customer care.
Mr Tschohl, 67, has gained popular-
ity preaching about the tenets of cus-
tomer care globally, earning himself
the title of Guru of Customer Service
by USA Today, Time, and Entrepreneur
magazines.
Dominate market
An author of several best-selling
titles, he is the president of Service
Quality Institute, a global leader in
customer service. His latest book,
Moving Up, showcases a step-by-step
guide to building successful rms.
For companies to own and dominate
the market, he recommended that they
embrace customer service fully and
deeply understand how it works.
He warned rms against stupid
policies like creating passwords on
WiFi: Such policies infuriate custom-
ers and would chase away high poten-
tial ones. The company ends up losing
a customer despite succeeding in chas-
ing away intruders, he said.
Recover from mistakes
Firms could increase their revenue
by over 25 per cent if they adhere to
the principles he espouses. Compa-
nies, he said, must make customers
feel empowered.
Once we get the basics, then we will
know how to handle irate customers,
act quickly to recover company mis-
takes, and keep an eye on how trends
transform the company.
Mr Tschohl has been instructing
and motivating employees, manag-
ers, supervisors, and CEOs for over
40 years.
He is the author of the worlds rst
customer service training programme,
which he released in 1980.
Participants at the workshop, who
were mainly from the travel industry,
agreed to implement his guidelines.
Kenya Travel Agents Association
chairman S.G. Kaka said Kenyas travel
industry has a long road to travel as far
as customer service is concerned.
Our industry is operating around
seven out of 10. We hope that expe-
rience gained from this seminar will
shoot it up to nine out of 10, he said.
Online support
Mr Deena Patel from Concord Car
Hire and Services termed the seminar
informative and benecial. His senti-
ments were echoed by Mr Walter Orato
of AIG Insurance Kenya.
The workshop focused on service
delivery such as how to train leaders
and sta as well how to tap online sup-
port to ensure business runs in line
with global market trends.
Mr Tschohls books, which are read
in more than 40 countries, have been
translated into 11 languages.

Similar goods blamed for low trade among African countries
MANUFACTURING
PRODUCTION of similar goods is one of
the major challenges aecting trade among
African countries. This came to light at the Af-
rican Development Banks conference in Kigali,
Rwanda, last week.
Traders at the forum said most African rms
produce similar goods. This, they said, reduces
trading between the countries, forcing them to
import from markets outside the continent.
Rwandas minister of Trade and Commerce,
Mr Franois Kanimba, said the structure of the
production systems in Africa poses a challenge.
There is a need to diversify our exports if we
are to trade with each other, he said.
He added that the environment in Africa is
not conducive for diversied exports.
There is a bad culture where you have per-
manent tendencies at African border points to
discourage emerging traders who would like to
take the opportunity to penetrate and embark
on the regional market, said the minister.
Speaking at the same forum, East African
Community secretary-general Richard Sezib-
era noted that although trade within the bloc
has increased, its full potential is yet to be
achieved.
Trade in the EAC has increased to 25 per
cent from less than 10 per cent among Kenya,
Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi in the
past 10 years.
The volume is expected to increase as re-
gional integration deepens. This has been due
to the reduction of trade barriers which have
cut the cost of doing business in the region,
he said.
Previously, the ocial said, it cost Sh130,500
($1,500) to ship a container from Japan to the
port of Mombasa and Sh391,500 ($4,500) to
move the same container to Kigali. Much of
the cost was due to administrative hurdles. The
cost (from Mombasa to Kigali) has since gone
down by Sh93,525 ($1,075), Mr Sezibera said
and called for further removal of non-trade
barriers.
The secretary-general said the EAC, in part-
nership with the African Development Bank,
has put up a regional payment system that
enables fast movement of nances.
Integrate regions
The deputy director of the World Trade Or-
ganisation, Mr Frederick Agah, said there is a
need to integrate regions to foster cooperation,
growth, and trust between countries.
The chief executive of the Walvis Bay Corri-
dor Group, Mr Johnny Smith, said infrastructure
should be developed to create and promote
opportunities for trade with neighbouring
countries.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY addressed
the grave matter of national produc-
tivity in this column. Yet listening
to the proceedings of the annual
accountants conference last week, I
could not help but bemoan my be-
loved country and continent. There
is a crying need to step up our
eorts at all levels individual,
organisational, national, and even
continental.
Things are not good at all.
Whether you are a religious leader,
politician, employer, or employee,
your central focus should be on
productivity. The other alternative is
for us to accept the chronic status of
modern enslavement to people and
countries that are not willing to pay
attention to their productivity. Then
we must be ready to perish in egois-
tic arrogance and ignorance.
It defeats logic that you would
want to be paid for holding a job but
you do not want your output in that
oce to be measured. You do not
want to be questioned about your
output and to be paid for a days de-
cent work. This can only mean that
you are being paid from borrowed
resources as you are not producing
anything.
The organisation you work for,
regardless of whether it is private or
public, is slowly grinding to a halt.
Soon you will have no job and no
salary. However, your responsibilities
will not go away. There will be debts
to pay and children to bring up and
pay education for. When you refuse
to be productive, you auction your
organisation, future generations, and
your country. That is why you must
be called to account. It does not
matter what civil society activists
or trade unionists tell you. The fact
remains that the current attitudes
towards productivity in Africa are
worrying. Some previously vibrant
organisations, both in the private
and public sectors, renowned for
being major employers, have either
folded or are ailing and on the verge
of collapsing.
The reason is that some fellows
refused to give back to the organisa-
tion while at the same time hogging
huge benets. It is a scenario in
which the organisation disappears,
together with the jobs. Some organi-
sations even sink with peoples sav-
ings, leaving them not just jobless
but also penniless.
Situations such as these are not
helped by well-meaning intentions
that are nonetheless wrong-headed.
These include employing the chil-
dren of those who are retiring from
the organisation out of a sense of
entitlement. The new employees,
in turn, consider the job to be he-
reditary. They do not put in a days
decent work. The organisation soon
collapses.
The information available now puts
our national productivity among the
lowest in the world. Yet we are also
among the most highly paid. For
example, 52 per cent of our total
revenue is paid to one per cent of
the population. These are the people
in our public service. This is a pale
comparison to what is happening
globally, with the generally accept-
able ratio being 35 per cent, with
low-income countries not exceeding
26 per cent. Middle-income coun-
tries are at 28 per cent and the rich
countries at 25 per cent!
The need to turn our situation
around is urgent. It will begin by
working on our national productivity.
We need to evangelise on produc-
tivity. It must become the national
clarion call. We need to sing and
recite poems about it. We must
rethink our Labour Day as a day for
reection about productivity and not
the minimum wage. Good wages will
then be automatic, sustainable, and
productivity-driven.
We could borrow from Sin-
gapore. They had a mascot for
productivity. They called it Team
The Bee. It went with the lyrics
good, better, best. Never let it rest. If
its good, make it better, if its better
make it best. We are not short of
lyrics, Hakuna matata or Kanyaga
nchi yetu kwa nguvu na raha could
be remixed to make our lion the king
of all productivity.
We could do well to let econo-
mists, not every elected leader,
determine wage levels. Everyone
should play their role where their
expertise is helpful and productiv-
ity-driven.
Mr Muturi is the executive director,
Kenya Institute of Management.
MANAGEMENT BY DAVID MUTURI
Low productivity the bane of our national development
Q: Our company, N7 Creamery, will
soon open its agship location in South-
ern California. This has been one of the
most dicult undertakings of my life, but
I nd myself thinking about the team I
have built rather than any concerns about
money. This leads me to my question:
How close is too close? Is it OK to develop
tight bonds with and even to grow to love
the people who work for you?
Brett Bingaman
Ihave met some of my closest friends
through my work, and I am delighted
when our employees at the dierent Vir-
gin companies tell me the same thing. In
most jobs people spend more time with
colleagues than with family and friends,
so why not turn professional relation-
ships into real friendships? A warm and
friendly atmosphere can only benet your
team and your customers.
The guidelines you put in place on this
subject will shape your companys culture
for years to come. Some managers frown
upon their sta having fun at work, becom-
ing the best of friends, or even falling in
love, but I disagree.
At Virgin we have managed to create a
fun, inclusive, energetic atmosphere at work
and the friendships and romances that have
ourished have enriched our lives - we
have celebrated many employee marriages
over the years.
Such bonds encourage employees to
collaborate and help them to stick together
through tough moments. A couple of years
ago, after Virgin Money acquired the Brit-
ish bank, Northern Rock, I travelled the
country, welcoming the new employees into
the Virgin Group. One of my goals was to
get a better sense of the atmosphere at the
branches, and I was thrilled to nd that at
many oces, there were not only husbands
and wives working together, but sometimes
their sons and daughters too! There is no
stronger endorsement than when an em-
ployee tells a relative that a company is
a great place to work, so I knew that our
new business would t well with the Virgin
Group.
I guess I must have said something simi-
lar to my son, Sam, because he has decided
to follow in his sister, Hollys, footsteps by
taking a position in our London oce,
where he will work with our non-prot
foundation, Virgin Unite, and with many of
the other companies within the group. I am
looking forward to seeing them both when
I am at that oce such a great treat for a
proud father!
We have also been able to use the welcom-
ing atmosphere we have created to make our
large number of employees 50,000 an
asset. Other companies of this size might
become rather impersonal. Instead, we use
our size to give employees the opportunity
to move between businesses in the group.
Jean Oelwang, for example, moved into the
position of CEO at Virgin Unite after work-
ing in another role at Virgin Mobile Aus-
tralia. We also run transfer programmes that
allow employees to swap companies for set
periods of time, which Virgin Australia and
Virgin America sta say are tremendously
benecial. These programmes have helped
the companies to share best practices and
to better understand one another.
Such exible policies encourage collabo-
ration, as when digital experts from across
our group get together to hack various
projects. On any given day, I might see
Virgin Trains social media team working
at the Virgin Media oce or the market-
ing group from Virgin Limited Edition, our
luxury hotel business, heading over to our
space tourism company, Virgin Galactic, to
share updates and tips.
Some would say that managers should
avoid forging friendships with employees
because it makes hard decisions even more
dicult.
To my mind, that is the point. When you
start up a company, you and your employ-
ees either give the business and the team
everything you have got or you should not
bother with that launch at all. And if you
work together through thick and thin, but
despite all your eorts you are forced to let
an employee go, then that decision should
be dicult; it should hurt.
Brett, your decision to focus on creating
a warm and respectful culture throughout
your company, rather than to narrowly
focus on prot, will undoubtedly pay divi-
dends in the long run.
When you are rst starting out, it can
be dicult to attract the right talent; youll
nd it a lot easier to do so if you can oer
employees a pleasant working environment
along with a mission that matches their
ambitions.

swered in future columns. Send them to

Beer fuels Brazils World Cup fever
Beer and football make a
powerful team in Brazil which is
bracing for a drinking bonanza
when it hosts the World Cup.
The passion for football is
well-known it has won the
World Cup ve times.
Brazil is also the worlds third
largest beer producer more
than 13 billion litres of the stu
in 2013. Such is the countrys
love of the beverage that you
can even buy beer-avoured ice
cream.
When the sun is baking the
sidewalks o Copacabana beach,
the rst reaction seems to be to
order a beer that Brazilians al-
ways say arrives stupidly cold.
A recent survey commis-
sioned by brewing giant Ambev,
the countrys largest company by
market value, asked Brazilians to
list their national passions. Sev-
enty-seven per cent named foot-
ball; 35 per cent said beer.
Now brewers are anticipating
a beer boom during the World
Cup Brazil will host from June
12 to July 13.
A study released this month
by Nielsen and Kantar World-
panel, commissioned by the Sao
Paulo Supermarkets Association,
forecast a 37 per cent increase in
beer consumption during the
World Cup and total sales of 1.8
billion reals ($816 million) dur-
ing the four weeks.
During the 2010 World Cup,
beer sales in Brazil increased 15
per cent. (AFP).
