CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Francis Kimemia. Mr Kimemia was the ﬁrst to arrive at the EACC headquarters in Nairobi at 8am. He was followed by Mr Kamau and Mr Chirchir in that order. Suspended Kenya Airports Authority boss Lucy Mbugua also appeared before the commission and told journalists that she had appeared to represent the authority and not herself. “As my person, I was not grilled on anything touching on me. I am here as CEO KAA,” she said. On his way out, Mr Kamau declined to comment on the interrogation and said the issue was being handled by EACC. He is being investigated for alleged tender award manipulation in favour of APEC Consulting, a company that he has been associated with him. He is also alleged to have paid out Sh700 million to another company, Aegis, for the construction of the Garissa-Modika-Nuno road although construction work had not been completed. According to a source at EACC, Mr Kamau is also being investigation in connection with interference with the consultant’s design in the construction of the Kamukuywa-Kaptama-Kapsokwony-Kimilili Roads. Mr Chirchir who is being accused of attempting to inﬂuence the award of a Kenya Pipeline Company tender worth $500 million to Sinopec instead of Zkhem denied having any hand in the deal. “Kenya Pipeline is a parastatal that works in autonomy and as a minister I did not have any hand to do with what happens there.

A number of junior judicial staff are set to be transferred to new working stations against claims that this was aimed at breaking corruption cartels in the Judiciary. The transfers target court and registry clerks, drivers and a host of other lower cadre workers in the Judiciary. Judiciary’s Chief Registrar Anne Amadi said the transfers were normal administrative procedure. There had been allegations that the move was aimed at increasing judicial efficiency as well as cutting off links between litigants and judicial officials, but Ms Amadi played down the corruption and cartels allegations. Ms Amadi (below) said that the transfer of magistrates and other junior officers was aimed at enhancing efficiency. “It’s a policy that people have to be moved after a set period of time. I would not say that there was a major motivation factor behind the current transfers,” Ms Amadi said.

According to the report submitted to President Uhuru Kenyatta by EACC, the tender was supposed to corruptly yield $15 million which was to be shared between Mr Chirchir and Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko, who has also stepped aside to facilitate investigations. Mr Kimemia said individuals who were unhappy with his long stay in government were behind his woes. “God (will) forgive those who put

EACC officials questioned Mr Kimemia over alleged irregularities in awarding of a tender valued at Sh1 billion at the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of the National Government.

The photograph which showed the offices of FSI Capital may have implied that the firm was one of the bureaus whose accounts had been frozen. We wish to clarify that the accounts of FSI Capital have not been frozen and the firm is not on the list of those affected. We take this opportunity to correct the impression we may have created by the publication of the photo and apologise to FSI Capital and its associates for the inconvenience or any embarrassment caused by the photograph.

The chief registrar said the transfers were made after consultations and approval by the Judicial Service Commission and Chief Justice Willy Mutunga. Ms Amadi said the magistrates transferred were given three months’ notice to enable them to conclude cases and to prepare themselves to go to their new stations. They were also advised against opening new cases that may outlast the notice period to ensure that litigants are not inconvenienced. The transfers for other judicial staff come a few weeks after the Judiciary announced major changes among Court of Appeal Judges and magistrates. A statement signed by Ms Amadi said 15 Judges of the Court of Appeal were transferred to new stations. This was the first shuffle since the court’s decentralisation from Nairobi to Nyeri, Malindi and Kisumu in May 2013. Last year, Dr Mutunga directed that matters in the Court of Appeal in Nairobi, which had the highest number of petitions and also hears cases from Nakuru and Eldoret, be heard on a first-in-first-out basis. This started in January this year to clear a huge case backlog. Dr Mutunga said stationing permanent appellate judges instead of having them make visits once or twice a year has been a major successes in finalising cases.

PRESS FREEDOM | It’s been a tough period for industry, say editors

State ready to hold talks over new media laws Minister bows to pressure and agrees to discuss new laws with media

BY OUMA WANZALA @Iwanzala owanzala@ke.nationmedia.com

he stage has been set for discussions on two controversial media laws that were suspended last year. Information and Communication Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i yesterday said the government was ready to hold talks with media owners and practitioners in order to review the controversial media laws of 2013. Last year, two clauses were suspended by the High Court for being unconstitutional. The State appealed and the case is pending. Yesterday, Dr Matiang’i said the case had made it diﬃcult for the media complaints commission to do its work. “We are ready to talk and reach a middle ground and we hope the media will be ready this time round,” Dr Matiang’i said during a media breakfast with members of the Kenya Editors Guild in Nairobi. He accused the media of declining to hold discussions with the government and instead rushing to court to challenge the law. “I had invited editors for talks so that we could ﬁnd a way out only to learn that they were already in court,” he said.

Colleges sue commission over courses BY NATION REPORTER The Kenya National Association of Private Colleges has gone to court to challenge the admission of students into universities for diploma, certificate and bridging courses. The association says its members have suffered from an amendment in the law three years ago which allowed universities to offer these lower courses. Lawyer Joshua Kiarie representing the association also claims that there was no public participation before the law was passed. He said the amendments to the law “should be declared null and void since it was not debated and passed by the National Assembly,” said Mr Kiarie. They want the Commission for University Education barred from licensing universities to offer diplomas, certificates and bridging courses. Further intake by universities should be halted until their case is heard, they say.

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

Information and Communication Technology Principal Secretary Joseph Tiampati called for dialogue over the laws. “We have to embrace dialogue as opposed to litigations,” Mr Tiampati said. Former Kenya Editors Guild Chairman Macharia Gaitho welcomed the proposal, saying the editors were ready to settle the dispute out of court provided their concerns are addressed. He cautioned the government against comparing Kenya with Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia on press freedom, saying Kenya was ahead of them. Because of the case, the editors halted the recruitment of Media Council members and the formation of the Multimedia Appeals Tribunal by the Information Cabinet Secretary, arguing that the action was unconstitutional. Dr Matiang’i yesterday insisted that the Jubilee administration supports and believed in the freedom of the media. He said the government had not banned any media outlet like Kenya’s neighbours did. “We have been criticised unfairly but we have been tolerant,” he said. The government had achieved a lot in the past two years but media ﬁrms were only looking at its failures, according to Dr Matiang’i.

ODM has ordered its ward representatives countrywide to pay Sh3,000 monthly contributions. The money has been pending since last year. The party also warned of unspeciﬁed action for those who have not been remitting the money. A letter signed by Mr Joshua Kawino, party deputy executive director, said elected and nominated reps had an obligation to support the part through their monthly contributions.

Sh18,000 Debt some MCAs have accumulated since July last year when they are supposed to have started remitting contributions.

Information and Communication Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i speaks during an editors’ meeting at Serena Hotel Nairobi yesterday.

We are ready to talk and reach a middle ground and we hope the media will be ready this time round” Information Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i He said foreign journalists working in Kenya should report fairly and accurately but the government had no intention of victimising them or shutting them down. Kenya Editors Guild chairman Linus Kaikai diﬀered

with Dr Matiang’i on media freedom in Kenya, saying it had been a tough two years for media. “The industry has been swinging between hope and despair. The legislative agenda has consistently been one that seeks not to regulate but to curtail the very freedom that makes the work of journalists possible. “We consider these pieces of retrogressive legislation as a polite way of rolling back the progress of our industry and that of the country,” Mr Kaikai said.

British public relations firm to salvage Kenya’s image abroad BY NATION CORRESPONDENT A British public relations firm has been hired to help salvage Kenya’s reputation abroad. This follows travel advisories by Western countries and recent terror attacks that have dealt Kenya’s image a major blow. Grayling Global is the country’s official public relations company, Tourism Cabinet Secretary Phyllis Kandie said yesterday at a press briefing in Iten, Elgeyo Marakwet County. Ms Kandie (right) said the firm won a competitive bidding and has been hired on a one-year contract. The company is expected to help in the recovery of tourism, which has faced tremendous challenges over the past few years. Grayling Global was represented yesterday by its senior advisor, Lord Peter Chadlington. “Kenya is enduring very difficult times brought about by the problems affecting cities and countries across the world.

“The profound nature of these problems cannot be overstated and as a government, we are well aware of the importance of confronting the key issues and restoring our reputation as Africa’s number one visitor destination,” she said at Iten’s Kerio View Hotel where she also launched the western Kenya tourism circuit. The western circuit covers Kisumu,

Kakamega, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Uasin Gishu and Nandi counties. In a statement issued yesterday, Grayling Global said it would promote Kenya’s potential globally and “assist the government in communicating its message effectively both regionally and internationally”. “There can be no doubt that Kenya has suffered serious blows to its tourist industry and global reputation over the past 18 months,” said Grayling chief executive for Middle East and Africa Loretta Ahmed. Ms Ahmed went on: “It is distressing to see one of the world’s most vibrant tourist economies facing such challenges. But there are few places more deserving of support today.” The company profile says Grayling specialises in public relations, government relations, investor relations and events consultancy. The company has 54 offices in 26 countries worldwide. Ms Kandie said the ministry would work with county governments to develop domestic tourism.

In the letter of March 25 and signed by Mr Kawino on behalf of the party secretary-general, the reps were also required to update their contributions. “You are advised to start monthly remittance of Sh3,000 with effect from July 1, 2014,” says the letter. Mr Kawino said some county assembly members had accumulated debts of up to Sh18,000. They were also reminded of their role in promoting the party ideals, without specifying the action against defaulters.

Teachers want exam deadline extended again BY NATION CORRESPONDENT School heads want an extension of the examination registration deadline after experiencing challenges the Knec website. The teachers were required to have registered candidates for this year’s exams on the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) website by today. However, they said thousands of students are yet to be registered and may miss the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams if the deadline remains as it is. “I urge on Knec to move the deadline so that candidates are not locked out of exams,” said Kenya Secondary School Heads Association chairman John Awiti. Mr Awiti lamented that the website is frustratingly slow and the traffic was high. “We reported the issue and Knec acknowledged that there is a problem with their system and consequently moved the deadline from the initial March 31 to April 10,” said Mr Awiti. “But as long as the problem is on their side, deadline may not suffice. They will have to push dates forward again,” he added. Kisumu Girls, Maranda Boys, Kaptien Secondary and Bunyore Girls teachers who spoke to the Nation yesterday, said they have been spending sleepless nights trying to register candidates.

FAMILY PAIN | Killer took phone from his victim and talked to her parent before shooting her in the head

Father heard his daughter being shot by terrorists Mother recounts how student, 21, hid from killers for seven hours as she waited for help BY EVERLINE OKEWO

AND LINET WAFULA linetwafula@yahoo.com

t 6.54am on Thursday last week, Mrs Christine Obondi received an SMS from her daughter, a second year student at Garissa University College. “The message said gunmen had attacked the institution and started shooting people,” Mrs Obondi, a teacher in Kisumu, told the Nation yesterday at her home in Otonglo as she recalled the seven-hour agony she endured before her 21-year-old daughter, Lydia Akoth, was shot dead by terrorists the day before Good Friday. About an hour after Lydia sent the text message, she called her mother to tell her that she was hiding in a room in the girls’ hostel with ﬁve other female students. Between 11am and noon, Lydia called both her father and mother and told them she was safe but terriﬁed as she could hear gunshots within her hostel. At about 12.45 pm, Mrs Obondi tried to call her daughter but the phone rang unanswered several times, prompting her to send a text message.

Lydia replied asking her mother not to call her because the gunmen were near her room. At 1.30pm, her father, Mr James Obondi, called. This time, Lydia was screaming, saying she was about to be shot. “Dad our lives are at the mercy of Al-Shabaab. Don’t call me again. Bye,” she told him. Before they could ﬁnish the conversation, one the attackers snatched the phone from her and talked to Mr Obondi, telling him that that was the last time he was speaking to his daughter. “I talked to one of the Al-Shabaab. There was a language barrier since they spoke in Somali language. The only words I had were “mnaﬁki wewe! (you hypocrite!),” said Mr Obondi.

Trauma

Mr Obondi, a chemistry teacher at Lions High School in Kisumu, said the worst part has been the trauma of identifying the body of his firstborn daughter, whose face was disfigured by the bullet. “With the help of my other daughter and fingerprints, we were able to identify the body of Lydia. She loved wearing bangles and this also helped us identify her easily,” said Mr Obondi, who was in Nairobi waiting to take Lydia’s body to Kisumu. Many families of the 148 victims will be doing that between today and tomorrow. Mrs Obondi, who teaches music at Monao Teachers Training College, a private institution in Kisumu, believes

and many other students. “I last saw her in January,” she said of their last meeting. “We communicated two weeks before the attack and she told me that they would break for two weeks for holiday, after which she would proceed for her teaching practice.” Unknown to her, this was not to be. Lydia’s family is not alone in mourning. Four other families from Busia County also lost their sons and daughters. Milton Mukhwana from Bulanda in Matayos Sub County, Ruth Esiromo from Teso North, Peter Magio Mulindiro from Bunyala and Obedi Okumu Okodoi from Teso South, were among the 142 students killed by terrorists who did not discriminate between men and women, unlike in past attacks at the Coast where they only targeted men. According to Mukhwana’s brother, Isaac Hamisi, the student last sent a text message to his grandfather at 5.47am on the ill-fated Thursday. “Grandpa, we have been attacked

by Al-Shabaab. We are in deep trouble,” the message said. It would turn out to be his last words to his family. His body was positively identiﬁed at Chiromo mortuary on Monday. Magio, the other victim, hailed from Mundere village in Bunyala Sub County. He was a ﬁrst year student pursuing of Education.

Identiﬁed the body

His fisherman father, Mr Okello Mulindiro, said that although relatives had positively identified the body, the government was yet to release it. “We want the government to fasttrack the process so that I can bury my son,” he said. Like other families, they too are seeking closure after the heinous attack. Busia Knut Executive Secretary Mark Oseno sent his condolences and those of teachers from the region to the affected families. “It is sad and shocking to lose 147 intellectuals,” Mr Oseno said and asked the government to take measures to improve security.

Agencies need to do better, says US

New York

Religious leaders from the country’s mainstream Christian churches yesterday condemned the killing of Christians in the country by Al-Shabaab and demanded a stop. The clerics who visited Chiromo Mortuary in Nairobi to condole with families of Garissa University College attack victims said they will not remain silent as their ﬂock continues to be massacred by the Somali militia group “While urging our Christians to be peacemakers, we will not remain silent as they continue being massacred,” the Church leaders said in a joint statement.

Living in military camps

The leaders said the systematic proﬁling, isolation and massacre of Christians across the country must stop, terming it a deliberate attempt to expel Christians from places such as Wajir where the faithful were living in military camps due to fear. The leaders were John Cardinal Njue(Catholic), Most Rev Eliud Wabukala (Anglican), Rev Silas Yego (African Inland Church), Rt Rev Joseph Ntombura(Methodist Church), Rt Rev David Riitho Gathanju(Presbyterian Church of East Africa), Rev Canon Rosemary Mbogo of the National Council of Churces of Kenya and Bishop Mark Kariuki of Deliverance Church in Kenya.

BY KEVIN J KELLEY The United States said on Wednesday that it is assisting Kenya’s efforts to combat Al-Shabaab. But it stated that the Kenya’s security forces needed “to do better” in countering the diﬃcult challenge. “The US Embassy works closely with the Kenyan government to provide a wide range of security assistance to the many key Kenyan military and law enforcement units working to degrade Al-Shabaab’s operatives and ideology,” a State Department oﬃcial told the Nation.

Garissa massacre

In a separate brieﬁng for reporters on Wednesday, the State Department’s spokeswoman Ms Marie Harf addressed the question of whether, following the Garissa massacre, the US believes Kenya was making the most of the security aid Washington provides. “I think it’s probably no surprise that the security forces need to do better. I think that’s just sort of a factual statement,” Ms Harf said. She added: “It is clearly a very diﬃcult challenge for

From grieving parents and relatives to Kenyans on the street and to journalists and commentators in the media, there has been consensus that this could have been handled better. But we have also seen denials and counter arguments, some of them made in international media,” he said.

GARISSA ATTACK

COMMENT | Rashid Abdi

Terror at dawn

Kenyan jihadism now targeting cream of society H

omegrown Kenyan jihadism has a new face. The new generation of jihadists are “cool”. They are college-educated, intelligent, multi-lingual and from well-to-do families. They are the crème de la crème of society. The new barons of blood are Internet-savvy and familiar with the latest encryption technologies. They meticulously plot their operations using the Dark Web. Because of their mainstream appearance and background, they can easily blend in and carry out deadly acts of terrorism undetected. The old stereotype of the average local jihadist as a disenfranchised, semi-illiterate, kanzu-clad, bearded young man recruited from an impoverished corner of the country is irreparably broken. The new recruitment venues are not rundown mosques in Eastleigh and Majengo, but glitzy coﬀee houses in upmarket Nairobi and the hallowed cloisters of universities. This is not good news. It signals the pernicious spread of radicalisation. Radicalism and violent extremism are now cool, class-blind and cut across the gender divide. Young girls from middle class Muslim families are being groomed on social media and becoming radicalised. A number of them, beguiled by jihadi romance, are ﬁnding their way to Somalia and Syria to “bear children for the martyrs”. Some are being deployed as suicide bombers or act as couriers.

Abdirahim Mohammed Adbullahi (left), one of the terrorists who attacked Garissa University College, during a lesson when he was a student at Wamy High School in Nairobi South ‘B’. Abdirahim Mohammed Abdullahi, who plotted the Garissa University College massacre, is typical of the new changing face of jihad. Counter-terrorism experts are baﬄed and are struggling to understand what makes a privileged young man like Abdirahim — anecdotally well-adjusted, perfectly sane and rational — commit such horrendous crimes. Detectives have been poring over phone data and interviewing dozens of Abdirahim’s relatives and friends in a bid to answer that

question. Understanding his path to radicalism is not just important for the criminal inquiry, but is crucial in helping experts to build an accurate proﬁle of the new generation jihadist. Tucked in a corner on a busy street in Eastleigh is a shop where Abdirahim used to run a successful cooking gas business. Sources interviewed by Somali radio stations say Abdirahim was “highly-disciplined and astute”. There are suspicions this could have been an Al-Shabaab “front business” in which Abdirahim was

getting a steady income to support his education and recruit new members. Another intriguing line of inquiry is on the extent terrorist cells have penetrated legitimate business enterprises with “dual-use” capabilities such as LPG and the fertiliser import trade. In the hands of experts, gas cylinders can cause mass atrocities, while fertilisers can build deadly explosives. There have been a few attempts by local militants to experiment with and deploy IEDs strapped to gas cylinders at Eastleigh. Somali sources say Abdirahim was initially self-radicalised and spent hours on the Internet reading materials on jihad before he was recruited by Al-Shabaab talent-spotters. It is speculated that he may have been recruited by another Kenyan jihadist, Abdulkadir Mohammed aka Ikrima, believed to be in Jamame or Jilib, southern Somalia, where Kenyan forces have been conducting a series of air strikes. Ikrima was the target

of a US special forces operation in Barawe after the Westgate attack in late 2013. Abdirahim was said to have been drawn to the teachings of charismatic Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, killed in a US drone strike in Yemen in 2012. His special series of sermons called Al-Jihadu Dinunaa (Jihad is Our Faith) was particularly popular with Kenyan jihadists and was translated into Kiswahili by the Pumwani Mosque in Majengo, run by Al-Hijra militants until 2013. The number of deadly terrorist leaders emerging from institutions of higher learning in Kenya is on the rise. The leader of the Al-Hijra militant movement, Iman Ali, was recruited while a student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. Iman Ali is in southern Somalia and recently posted a video on YouTube to “comfort Muslims facing persecution” in Kenya and gloating over the strings of deadly terrorist attacks in the northeast and coastal regions. One of the ﬁrst suicide bombers in Somalia was a college dropout from Minnesota, United States, called Ahmed Shirwa. He was 26, was regarded as highly-intelligent and dreamt of becoming a doctor. He was possibly recruited by AlShabaab while in college. Abdi is a commentator on religious matters and terrorism.

Letters to families of the remaining 18 victims will be dispatched once the identiﬁcation process is concluded. In his letters, the President expressed pain and sadness over the fatal attack. He regretted that the families had lost ﬂames of hope in the attack by Al Shaabab militants. “I write to you with great pain and sadness hoping to share a few words of comfort and sympathy over the untimely death of your daughter, in the hands

of terrorists. Miriam (one of the victims) was a young, productive person of great promise. She had every right to live and realise her dream, and you had a right to expect much from the sacriﬁce, love and support invested in her growth,” he said to one of the families. He assured them the government is increasing eﬀorts to contain the threat of terrorism and will also hunt down those with similar intentions. “I write to you in humility to express my regret at the loss of your dearly beloved child. I share your pain. Accept my condolences and that of the entire country.

I promise, as a nation, we shall never forget them, nor forgive those who took her life,” he said. “It is regrettable that terrorists are now using our own young people to perpetrate their evil,” said the President. He assured families of the government’s support as they deal with the loss of their loved ones. “My government assures you of justice for this brutality. We pledge to work harder for a better and more just country in honour of the memory of those we have lost,” the President said. — PSCU

In Mombasa, county assembly clerk Tubmun Otieno said the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) reduced their budget from Sh625 million to Sh341 million, leading to a Sh284 million shortfall. The stringent budget has seen the assembly seek assistance from the executive to meet pressing operational costs, he said. Mr Otieno attributed the financial woes to the “unrealistic” ceiling by CRA. The assembly has been able to pay the members’ allowances despite the relatively tight budget but face difficulties paying suppliers, rent for ward offices and medical insurance cover for MCAs, he said. “Sometimes you prioritise on payments but funds are not available,” he said.

He called on the assembly members to be patient since their medical insurance arrears amounting to Sh12 million would be settled this month. Mr Otieno said the assembly was also seeking funds to clear ward offices rent arrears amounting to Sh16 million. “The reason why the assembly is facing financial constraints is because the Commission on Revenue Allocation fixed a ceiling of Sh341 million yet our approved budget for 2014/2015 was Sh625 million,” he noted. Two weeks ago, some assembly members hatched a plot to impeach finance executive Hazel Koitaba over delayed payments, including members medical cover fees. But the motion moved by Bamburi Ward representative Riziki Fundi flopped. In Kwale County, Majority Leader Nassoro Mguttah warned that the assembly is on the verge of financial collapse. He said their proposed budget of Sh194 million was cut by CRA to Sh80 million. “We tried to explain our plight to the commission but it was very hard for us to be understood due to the budget ceiling that was imposed,” Mr Mgutta said. He expressed fear that the assembly may not fulfil some of its obligations due to lack of cash.

accused of setting unrealistic budget caps

How are we expected to function with such a ceiling? Lamu county assembly performs similar functions like any other assembly in the 47 counties,” said Mr Hashim. Governor Issa Timamy said he was unhappy with the criteria used by CRA to allocate funds to counties, saying it has marginalised Lamu County. The county government, said the governor, is also struggling to deliver services because of ﬁnancial constraints. Revenue collection in Lamu was allocated the least amount in the country at Sh2 billion, he said. Mr Timamy said the county is undergoing major infrastructural development due to key projects such as the Lapsset, and therefore needs more support from the national government. “I ask CRA to formulate alternative methods of distributing funds in counties. We are unhappy with the

fact that Lamu is being overlooked every year and allocated very little money. We need immediate intervention,” he said. In Taita Taveta, the county assembly warned that it may shut down because of lack of funds. County Public Accounts Committee chairman Ahmed Omar said the assembly is facing serious funds crisis, having been allocated Sh265 million yet their budget projection was Sh555 million. He accused the Controller of Budget and CRA of frustrating county assemblies. “The budget we received is way below what we expected and we are even having problems paying our staﬀ,” said Mr Omar He also blamed the Council of Governors for taking part in coming up with the budget ceilings. However, the county assembly has negotiated for an additional Sh150 million from CRA. At the same time, Kilifi deputy speaker Teddy Mwambire has said the assembly has been weighed down by debts, with more than Sh20 million owed to suppliers while most projects have stalled because of the cash crisis. “The Kilifi County Assembly is facing one of its major challenges at the moment. Suppliers are on our neck, asking for payments amounting to more than Sh20 million,” said Mr Mwambire. He went on: “You can imagine that if a committee wants to book a venue to write a report, we have to negotiate with the owner to allow us to use his premises and then pay later. That is how we are currently operating.” Reports by Kazungu Samuel, Mathias Ringa, Farouk Mwabege and Lucy Mkanyika

ounty assemblies in western Kenya face closure following a cash crisis caused by spending ceilings set by the revenue commission. Members of the Kisumu, Siaya and Bomet assemblies have already gone on a two-week recess due to limited funds. County Assembly Forum Secretary Albert Kochai and speakers Bernard Wamalwa (Busia), Gabriel Ochieng (Kisumu), George Okode (Siaya) and Titus Kwoma (Kakamega) told the Nation yesterday that they could not pay workers as well as hold committee meetings. Mr Kochai said they had written to the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation to help them solve the matter. “We want the issue of ceilings to be a mandate of the Senate and not the Controller of Budget or the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA),” said Mr Kochai. The ceilings were put in place early last year by the CRA and the Oﬃce of the Controller of Budget. Members of county assemblies have been on the spot over wastage of funds through foreign trips, retreats and seminars. Controller of Budget (CoB) Agnes Odhiambo said the decision was

Assemblies are not opposed to the budget ceilings as long as they are done through consultations. That is what we are interested in” Busia County Assembly Speaker Bernard Wamalwa informed by overspending by the members, contrary to set rules. However, the assemblies moved to the High Court, seeking to challenge the CoB’s authority to limit their expenditure. The ward representatives in the case before Justice Isaac Lenaola argued that both the CRA and CoB had no powers to determine

the amounts to be spent by the regional Houses. Mr Wamalwa said about 30 out of the 47 county assemblies had been aﬀected by the ceilings. “Assemblies are not opposed to the budget ceilings as long as they are done through consultations. That is what we are interested in,” said Mr Wamalwa. Mr Ochieng accused the CoB and the commission of setting the caps after the assemblies had already prepared their budgets. “We cannot even seek the public’s views on next year’s budget as required by the law since we lack funds,” he said. Under the new rules, the total for funding new structures under devolved units should not exceed Sh13 billion of the total amount allocated per year for executives and Sh17 billion for assemblies. Mr Kwoma said most of the assemblies can no longer conduct their oversight roles properly. “What is more shocking is that the assemblies are being asked to negotiate with the CRA on the monies they need, contrary to the Constitution,” he said. Mr Okode said a number of crucial Bills were pending in the assembly since they lacked the money to involve the public. “This is a matter of great concern and should be addressed as soon as possible or else most of our operations will stall,” he said.

Kenya Railways says safety fears invalid Firm plays down project consultants’ worries over work on bridges and type of culverts in use BY JOHN NJAGI

jnjagi@ke.nationmedia.com

enya Railways has played down worries that the new 471-kilometre railway will not meet the 2017 completion deadline due to design irregularities. According to an engineers’ report seen by the Nation, supervising consultants have suspended work on all bridges and culverts because they are worried about design and safety. They say they found that the contractor, China Road and Bridge Corporation had been working without drawings and designs approved by local authorities and engineers.

Spectator engineers

The report also says the drawings were labelled and annotated in Chinese, which means that even if local engineers were physically present at the site, they have been reduced to spectators, with little decision-making powers. In a letter of March 9, the consultants, known as TSDI-Apec-Edon Consortium, raised concerns over

The letter is addressed to the firm’s deputy general manager Hu Zhaoguang and noted lack of consistency, as only some of the culverts were reinforced. “During our inspection, it was conﬁrmed that you have proceeded in full swing to construct culverts without reinforcement for the base slabs and walls,” read the letter. However, a statement issued yesterday by Kenya Railways Managing Director Atanas

Maina said the consultant had only suspended temporarily, the construction of certain type of culverts. This was only a small portion of the railway, he said. “All other works from earthworks, sleeper and bridge T-beam pre-casting works, bridges and piling are still going on,” he said. It is normal for such issues to arise in projects of this nature, he said, adding that a team of engineers and other professionals was readily available to ensure that such issues were resolved. Mr Maina also defended the suspension, saying it was not as a result of any structural safety concerns, quality or design defects, but a harmonisation of standards.

An anti-corruption watchdog will draw up proposed laws that will streamline and reignite the war against graft in the next 30 days. The National Anti-Corruption Steering Committee, chaired by Attorney-General Githu Muigai says the present laws are causing turf wars and duplication of roles among agencies fighting corruption. The team was formed by President Kenyatta following his State of the Nation Address to Parliament last month. The team will also look into whether stronger laws are required to enable the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission prosecute graft culprits.

Complaints raised

Other complaints raised against the Chinese contractor included failure, on several occasions, to submit documents indicating that the proper design codes had been followed in the construction of culverts and bridges, especially in the sections where the railway will intersect with major roads and highways. Engineers supervising the project also said in the letter that they could not conﬁrm whether the overpasses and underpasses were being designed in accordance with codes provided by road authorities and county governments.

WACHIRA MWANGI | NATION

Basri Bin Madin, who had been accused of ivory trafficking, was yesterday jailed for five years by a Mombasa court, with the alternative of paying a fine of Sh5 million. He was arrested by airport police at the Moi International Airport departure area on November 11 last year, with 6.94 kilogrammes of elephant tusks valued at Sh694,000.

He was speaking during an inaugural meeting of the new team. Prof Muigai said corruption cases take too long, despite the existence of anti-corruption courts, undermining public trust in them. Other issues to be thrashed out within 30 days are rise in activities of cartels in public procurement, clash of roles between procurement review teams and the High Court and raising capacity of institutions to act on the report of the Auditor-General, that usually names culprits of embezzlement. “I can assure you that all that has been hampering the war against corruption will be on the table in the next 30 days,” he said. The team would also come up with laws that will seal loopholes in the war on corruption, he added.

Officer: Karua not behind judge’s arrest BY NATION REPORTER A senior police officer has defended former Justice minister Martha Karua over claims she engineered the arrest and prosecution of Court of Appeal Judge GBM Kariuki. Assistant Commissioner of Police Patrick Kiswili denied that he was under pressure from Ms Karua (right) to have Justice Kariuki charged with the attempted murder of a motorist, Mr Peter Kamau, in December 2009. Mr Kiswili took over the case from the Spring Valley OCS because it needed a more senior officer to handle it. He told High Court Judge George Odunga claims that he got express orders from Ms Karua to arrest and charge Justice Kariuki were misleading. “I was just doing my work. I did not have a grudge with the judge when I carried out the arrest,” said Mr Kiswili. Justice Kariuki was charged with attempting to cause the death of Mr Kamau by stab-

bing him in the stomach. But the judge was acquitted on grounds that the prosecution failed to prove the claims. In 2011, the judge sued the Attorney-General for malicious prosecution. Justice Kariuki wants the State to compensate him. He claims Ms Karua coerced the police to press charges against him before investigations were carried out. He had told Justice Odunga the case against him was out of malice because it had nothing to do with public interest. The AG has since denied the claims that the judge’s reputation was damaged as a result of his prosecution. Hearing resumes on May 13.

Prosecutor tells court to continue holding passports of Anglo Leasing case suspects over fears they might skip bail

BY NATION REPORTER

BY VINCENT AGOYA @royagoya agoya@ke.nationmedia.com

court has been asked not to release the passports of two Anglo Leasing case suspects who said they wished to travel overseas for business and family issues. Mr Rashmi Kamani and Mr Deepak Kamani want their passports back but Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Nicholas Mutuku said the suspects could skip bail. But the accused’s lawyer, Mr Ahmednassir Hassan, said the two would not abscond hearings since they are Kenyans with vast business interests in the country, with their 84-year-old father also a suspect in the case. The lawyer said Deepak wants to travel to China for business while his brother Rashmi needs to be reunited with his ailing wife in Dubai. “I believe the applicants pose a great ﬂight risk and should not have their passports back,” said Mr Mutuku. The suspects were given Sh1 million bond and told to deposit their passports with the court. “The reason for imposing such a condition was to ensure that

cials to secure contracts. “The investigators want to interview them in the next two weeks on other Anglo Leasing type contracts in which companies associated with the Kamanis were involved in underhand deals,” said the prosecutor. He accused the Kamanis of deliberately failing to disclose their respective residences outside the country so that tracing them becomes impossible. “Mr Rashmi hardly stays in Dubai. He has failed to disclose other ways to care of his wife”. The court will deliver a ruling on April 15.

Omtata wants State blocked from bailing out Mumias BY NATION REPORTER An activist has gone to court seeking to block the government from paying the bailout money for troubled Mumias Sugar Company until

Parliament approves the payment. Mr Okiya Omtata says the law was not followed in allocating Sh500 million to the miller because the money was not approved by parliament. “Mumias is a private company and

therefore it was not proper to use public funds to bail out the company.” He wants the court to compel the attorney-general to surcharge the managers with view to their criminal prosecution.

At the same time, Mr Omtata is seeking to have the court order the respondents to bear the costs of the petition for being the parties directly responsible for the violations of the constitution and the law.

A judge yesterday disqualiﬁed himself from a case in which the children of billionaire businessman Njenga Karume are ﬁghting for control of the estate with the trustees. Justice Joseph Sergon’s withdrawal resulted in the case being taken back to the Presiding Judge of the Civil Division, Justice Msagha Mbogholi, for new directions. The case will come up before Justice Mbogholi next Friday. The judge said he could not proceed with the case because a lawyer for one of the parties had represented him. Mr Karume’s children have gone to court seeking the removal of the trustees, claiming wanton theft and wastage.

Refusing to pay fees

They also accuse the trustees of treating them with contempt, refusing to pay school fees and medicals bills while they gobble up hefty monthly allowances. The children claim that two of Mr Karume’s grandchildren, who are students at the Nairobi International School, are due to sit examinations but their fate hangs in the balance after a cheque for Sh200,000 issued to the school by the trustees bounced. It is alleged that another cheque for Sh300,000 issued to Gems Cambridge School also bounced. Additionally, they claim Mr Karume’s three other grandchildren, one of them a candidate, have been in and out of Braeburn School after the trustees paid less than half the fees. The trustees have accused the family of lying in order to stop the renovation of business buildings.

Do more to market tourism overseas

enya is set to launch an advertising blitz in an effort to woo back tourists who may have been scared off by the terrorist menace and the subsequent travel advisories against visiting the country in some of the main source markets. After a steady recovery approaching two million tourist arrivals in 2012, the industry has seen a substantial dip to 1.5 million visitors in 2013, the last year for which official data is available. The evident decline that has hit the coastal tourist resorts has had a serious effect on the region’s social and economic environment, and of course, on the national economic performance. Every industry worth its salt devotes considerable resources to research and development, marketing, advertising, public relations, and all the related activities that keep the product in the consumer’s eye and encourage purchases. It is, therefore, vital that as tourism suffers from the terrorist threat, the government does all it can to reassure visitors that Kenya remains a safe and enjoyable holiday destination. Seen against the importance of the industry to the Kenyan economy, the Sh140 million put aside by the Kenya Tourism Board might be a paltry sum if the intention is professionally-packaged adverts that will occupy prime television spots in Germany, USA, France, Britain, China, Italy, India, and elsewhere. The government should pump substantially more into the effort and also look into partnering with hotels, tour operators, airlines, and other industry players for a sustained and coordinated approach. Ultimately, however, the solution will lie, not just in advertising, but in making the country safe from the terrorist threat; security and fun for all visitors whose word of mouth endorsements will be far more valuable than any marketing campaign.

Welcome social change

he latest demographic survey illustrates positive trends on social and health issues. Among these are falling fertility rates and improved chances of child survival. For years, the country grappled with high population growth as it undermined socio-economic development. Indeed, the government mounted aggressive campaigns between the 1970s and 1990s to slow down population explosion and ensure that families have the children they could properly take care of. Thus, when fertility rates decline, there is relief that population growth is slowing, which has a positive impact on the economy. Child survival is a critical indicator of improved medical care and parental education. Whereas the child mortality rate stood at 74 out of 1,000 births, this figure has gone down in the past five years to 52 out of every 1,000 births. Although the national figures look impressive, it is not lost that there are regional variations. Some regions, such as northern Kenya, parts of the Rift Valley, Coast, and Nyanza, still record high fertility rates, teenage pregnancies, and child mortality. Clearly, the campaigns are bearing results, but more effort must be made to eliminate the remaining negative demographic indicators.

TERRORISM | Mutuma Mathiu

Garissa massacre is a shame for all Kenyans and our security forces I

fancy myself a cool customer. An old pro who has covered atrocities, death, unspeakable anguish, I can calmly sit through the most gory day. But the Garissa attack got to me so badly that I called a presidential aide, which is totally out of character for me, and berated him for what I thought was the administration’s incompetent handling of the crisis. I must thank the man for keeping a cool head and not disappearing on me for my impudence. This has been the most traumatic and emotional week for the thinking Kenyan. First, it exposes the class ﬁssures in our society and reminds us that the poor do not really matter. The outpouring of grief after Westgate was mainly driven by the urban middle classes who were the victims. Garissa University College is mainly for students on government scholarship, the majority of whom are the rural poor. There is inequality even in death. I think this country let down those poor children who were massacred in their beds. Their stories have broken my heart; their unpreparedness in the face of evil, their simple trusting natures when confronted by jihadist killers who lied to them that if they came out of their hiding places, they would be spared. They have

been brought up to behave themselves and to obey those in authority, in this case the man with the gun. If only they had been trained to survive, to know that when Al-Shabaab arrives, the only way to survive is to ﬁght them, to rush them, and overwhelm them with your numbers. They will kill some, but only a few. If you surrender or try to hide, you will be dead long before the GSU arrives 11 hours later after a road trip and two-hour pep talk by Mr Joseph Nkaissery and that IG man with the big hat. I have come to the rather unfortunate conclusion that the security services of this country are criminally incompetent. If your enemy does not fear your army, then you are looking at a war into which you go with a disadvantage. The fact that Garissa University College is next door to a Kenya Defence Forces barracks shows you that even though the Al-Shabaab ﬁghters were

The Kenya Police is not a work in progress, it is a piece of ruins that needs to be cleaned out and a new structure built”

on a suicide mission, they were not too worried about being inconvenienced by our brave men and women. And sure enough, 11 hours later, those four fools with rifles were still alive and our military had taken casualties. How did we arrive at this point where any collection of our military personnel, whether they are cooks or fire fighters, would be unable to neutralise four fools armed with rifles massacring students? The US State Department, speaking to the Daily Nation, noted that Kenya’s security forces “needed to do better” in responding to Al-Shabaab, which it classified as a difficult challenge. This is diplomatese for “what is wrong with you people?” In Westgate, now Garissa, and generally the whole Somalia operation, which we still support, the armed forces of the Republic of Kenya have lost honour. They need to reclaim it with a little bit more than just a little PR. The Israeli response in Gaza after the kidnapping of a teenager, while awful, and the US reaction to 9/11 attacks are, in this case, instructive. Al-Shabaab will be taught a lesson, not by the bombing of a few grazing fields and an abundance of media manipulation, but by the lethal deployment of overwhelming military force. A

terrorist attack, I imagine, is a big operation. The attackers have to be inﬁltrated into the target, the target has to be surveyed and this information relayed to the attack team. Weapons and lots of ammunition have to be supplied and cached. The support networks have to be dismantled and the support teams evacuated to safety. All this happened at a time when warnings had been received that Al-Shabaab was on the verge of attacking. This should tell you that Kenya’s intelligence systems, both military and civilian, are generally rubbish. What would be the point if they cannot detect and foil this kind of thing? I have said this before: the Kenya Police is not a work in progress, it is a piece of ruins that needs to be cleaned out and a new structure built. I wonder whether the man in the big hat has the mandate and skills and can extract the public resources required to rebuild the force. Can he marshal the political will required? Finally, I feel rather sorry for Mr Nkaissery, in whom there was so much hope and whose honeymoon has lasted barely a month. If he does not get security sorted — and fast — there will not be many cool heads left around here. mmutuma@ke.nationmedia.com

THE CUTTING EDGE

Public Editor’s Notebook

BY THE WATCHMAN

BY PETER MWAURA

Online comment section is democratic space, so no insults and yelling allowed W

hat criteria do you use to kill comments at (online) Daily Nation? Must one come from a certain tribe? I am registered to make comments and it beats the whole purpose if a Kanu-era editor decided what to post. Or does my name betray me?” Wakariro. I received this query from a telephone number with the code 41, which is country code for Switzerland. Before I could answer — sometimes I get overwhelmed with messages — the writer fired another one: “Pumbavu! What’s your response? Matafakas you can block me for life! Kwani Daily Nation ni ya mama yako? Mavi ya kuku!!” No need to translate. It is all insults. They exemplify one reason why some comments are not posted: Abusive and uncivil comments are not tolerated. Fortunately, such messages are infrequent. The managing editor for Nation Digital, Mr Churchill Otieno, says less than 10 per cent of comments are rejected. “Comments are rejected when they break the blog rules. Majority of comments rejected are either deemed to be in bad taste, unlawful, hateful, of foul language, or irrelevant,” he says. What are the blog rules? Before I briefly touch on them, let me answer Wakariro’s first message. You do not have to come from a particular tribe, and you do not have to register. Mr Otieno says: “Anyone can comment. We have deployed the Disqus platform to manage our comments and users can choose to either create commenter accounts or opt for guest and anonymous commenting.”

And for those who have been asking whether they have been banned, the answer is probably yes, if you have not been observing the blog rules. “We blacklist repeat oﬀenders who constantly fail to adhere to the blog rules,” says Mr Otieno. “Especially those who use the platform to fan hatred, constantly use bad language, or try to defame other people or institutions.” I support this stand. The comments section of Nation websites is a democratic space for intelligent conversations. The NMG blog rules seek to ensure that users can freely comment without insulting others or being insulted. The rules are necessary because there are commenters — jerks, cranks, crackpots, and trolls — who, instead of contributing to an intellectual discussion, spew invective at others. The comments section is, logically, an extension of NMG journalism and should meet the same journalistic standards. Toxic comments must be disallowed. Commenters who oﬀer nothing but insults and SHOUTING should not be allowed to crowd out those with worthwhile contributions. Some comments lashing out at NMG writers and editors are sometimes not used. Rightly so, I would say, if the comments are merely gratuitous attacks on the individuals. Mr Otieno says it more clearly: “Yes and no. We do allow constructive criticism relevant to our stories. We, however, reject comments that ridicule the person rather than the content presented in the article.” I asked Mr Otieno what advice he would

give to commenters. “I would advise them to adhere to the blog rules, as well as keep their comments short and to the point. 100 words or less is preferred.” But remember the blog rules require commenters to be cordial and courteous. “If you can’t be polite, don’t say it,” the rules say. “No SHOUTING (i.e., a few words can be in CAPS for emphasis, but generally posts in FULLCAPS will not be approved). Respect other participants’ views.” The rules also expect commenters to ensure what they state is based on veriﬁable fact. “Reasonable and defensible opinion will pass. No personal attacks, name calling, libel, defamation or hate speech.” Further, the rules say commenters should not threaten, harass, or bully and should avoid obscene, sexist, tribal, or racist posts. However, the rules say strong comments shall be allowed if you are making a remark about someone who said something equally forceful or controversial. “The comments section is a democratic space; therefore all have a chance to share their perspective on topical issues.” Read the NMG blog rules in full at http: //www.nation.co.ke/NationBlogRules. Use this link exactly as given; it is case-sensitive.

NEW TACTICS. The frequency with which security organs have been bungling hostage rescue operations is annoying, remarks Erick Oyugi, in response to the Garissa and Westgate Shopping Mall massacres. This, he adds, is due to shortcomings that call for an immediate review of the training of rescue personnel. “Sending a whole garrison does not make things any more effective. Just a few highly trained individuals on standby and a back-up crew is enough.” To hone the tactics, he recommends Tom Clancy’s book, Rainbow Six. His contact is eoyugi52@gmail.com. DEFEND COUNTRY. As part of the effort to boost the numbers of security teams to tackle the terrorist threat, Nixon Ochieng says the government should reinstate the well-trained and experienced officers dismissed on flimsy grounds. “They should be vetted and those cleared brought back into service, as training the 10,000 new recruits will take a longer time. “I am willing to put my skills to use in defence of my country. I hope Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery are listening.” His contact is kajamaa05@yahoo.com. FORTRESS. Though Steve Munga says he would find it rather difficult to fault the Canadian High Commission in Nairobi for turning their premises into some kind of fortress, complete with sand bags for snipers, considering the high terrorist threat. However, he feels that some of the measures have been overdone. He cites the high wall, but mostly the constricting of the section of Limuru Road that passes near the high commission’s gate. This, Steve claims, is mostly to blame for “the heavy traffic jams that were never heard of before”. His contact is stevemunga@yahoo.com.

EDUCATION | Kimani wa Njuguna

Poor students need help to go to school T

hat education has become the preserve of the rich cannot be gainsaid. This is because of the skyrocketing cost of education. Indeed, some public schools charge between Sh90,000 and Sh120,000 a year. An outcry over the high cost of secondary education led to the setting up of the Task Force on Secondary School Education chaired by former Education Assistant Minister Kilemi Mwiria. In accordance with the recommendations of the task force, the Ministry of Education issued new fees guidelines that said day schools should charge Sh9,374, boarding schools Sh53,543, and special schools Sh37,210 per student per year. The schools are to spread the fees in the ratio of 50:30:20 during the three terms. The ministry categorised schools as day, boarding, and special needs, as opposed to the previous categorisation of national, extra-county, or sub-county. The ministry also banned levies such as motivation fees for teachers, county education charges, and education improvement fees These pro-poor interventions are necessary to enable Kenyans to send their children to school. Ironically, the new fee structure is turning out to be a doubleedged sword. This is because while it has tamed high schools that were charging astronomical sums, it is likely to undermine the free

day school education programme. A circular issued by Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang says day school fees have been increased by 31 per cent. In the past, day school parents were not supposed to pay any fees as the students were taken care of by the free education programme. Some schools charged a small fee to cater for students’ lunch. Another problem is that education stakeholders perceive the new fees as an imposition by the government instead of realistic ﬁgures arrived at through consensus. If the government is serious about bringing down the cost of education, then it must agree to subsidise some costs. The government must also employ more teachers. According to the task force report, 37 per cent of teaching and support staﬀ

is paid by parents. Schools use this to justify frequent increase in fees. It is also instructive that while the grant given to students was raised from Sh10,000 to Sh12,000, the figure is never disbursed in time or in full. Bursary funds should be managed in an open way. This financial year, the Constituency Development Fund bursary kitty was allocated Sh1.1 billion. Most counties have bursaries running into billions of shillings. Allocation to each constituency is based on secondary school enrolment and poverty index. However, undeserving students have been offered bursaries and the needy ones given nothing, or as little as Sh2,000. MPs and MCAs spread the money to as many households as possible to gain political mileage. The regulation that the minimum allocation to day school students be Sh8,000 and Sh10,000 and Sh15,000 for boarding and national schools respectively has been ignored. The government needs to address these challenges if it is serious about enabling poor students to access secondary education. This could help hundreds of orphans and poor children selected to join national schools but are wasting away at home because of lack of fees.

HYBRID SYSTEM. Traffic flow can be streamlined without having to remove roundabouts, says Stephen Ngigy. Constructing overpasses across the roundabouts, whose pillars can be integrated into future road modifications, is the best option. “Heavy trucks and matatus should continue using the roundabouts, while personal vehicles, which form more than 80 per cent of the traffic, use the overpasses. A hybrid system is what we need to address our unique traffic challenges.” His contact is steve.ngigy@gmail.com. COSTLY EXPERIMENT. Following the chaos on roads in Nairobi in the past few days following an attempt to remove roundabouts to ease the traffic flow, Gachanja Njoroge is accusing city county officials of experimenting with ideas they hardly understand themselves. Such a proposal, he adds, should have been seriously thought through before being implemented. “Nairobi will experience super crazy jams unless these theoretical solutions are abandoned.” His contact is gachjnr@gmail.com. TRIAL AND ERROR. Alarmed at the rate at which “all manner of experiments” are being carried out on Kenyans, Samwel Nyagucha Oresi remarks: “We are always in the trial-and-error mode.” Top on his list is the digital migration, “which makes our living rooms look like nuclear sites with so many set-top boxes”.

To the editor We are responsible for ﬁghting corruption Kenyans like blaming the government for the pervasive corruption in the country. They keep forgetting that they are the ones who decide who is in government. The increased cases of cheating in national examinations means that we are bringing up a generation of potentially corrupt leaders. Again, we prefer to blame others and refuse to take personal responsibility because we do not want to own the problem that is slowly killing our country. The destiny of Kenya is in our hands. JAMES GITHINJI, via email

Police vetting is a waste of taxpayers’ money The on-going vetting of police officers is an exercise in futility. So far, only about 200 senior officers have been vetted and although some officers have been found unfit to hold office, hardly any has been sent packing. Although the vetting is supposed to cover a wide range of issues, the process only focuses on competence and suitability, with a bias to perceptions of corruption. There have been complaints that the vetting has degenerated into a financial audit. OKEYO SOJAH, Nairobi

Let us appreciate the leaders who work hard Instead of always complaining about our leaders, we should appreciate the development we have achieved. The devolved governments are particularly fond of threatening to impeach leaders. Let us engage our leaders and tell them exactly what we expect them to deliver. Many county governments work hard to serve the electorate. KIMTAI CHERONGIS, Bungoma.

Executive should not interfere with Judiciary The recent presidential order that the 10,000 police recruits whose selection was stopped by the court report for training is wrong. The recruitment was stopped because it was riddled with irregularities. Under the current Constitution, the Executive no longer enjoys excessive and unchecked powers. JOSEPH G. MUTHAMA, Thika

TALKING POINT

Return Ministry of Youth Aﬀairs to take care of problems of young people

ohammed Abdirahim Abdullahi was born and raised in Kenya. He studied in Kenyan schools, yet he led the squad of murderers who last week killed 142 students of Garissa University College. Abdullahi is a sad testimony of the fact that our young people are potential terrorists who will not hesitate to kill. It should worry us that educated youths, some from well-off families, are now joining extremist organisations. It is apparent that we have failed to manage our youth. In Parliament, there are 47 leaders under the age of 35, yet there has been no concerted effort to bring legislation to allow more involvement of the youth in the country’s economic development. The National Youth Council appears to be out of touch with the youth while the Ministry of Devolution, which is in charge of youth affairs, seems to have more pressing objectives. There used to be a Youth Ministry which looked after youth affairs and we did not have so much extremism among young people. The President should restore the Ministry of Youth Affairs to deal with the problems of young people. The Youth Ministry would conduct youth developmental audits, a comprehensive approach to identifying young people’s’ problems and offer the support that youths need in the course of their development. The ministry would provide alternative methods of dealing with the challenges that youths face. It

Servicemen march past the presidential dais during a National Youth Service pass-out parade at Gilgil, Nakuru County, on September 10, 2014. would research youth development and help the government come up with programmes to improve individual youth growth. The National Youth Service is a good initiative, but it is not enough. Instead, the ministry could engage youths in conflict resolution and solving problems. Perhaps then we would understand why youths are leaning towards radicalisation and what can be done to resolve the matter. Placing youth issues under the Ministry of Devolution was a quickfix solution which is not working because there is no quick fix when it comes to matters that concern the youth. The manifesto of the

Jubilee Alliance talked a lot about youth matters. The youths identified with the coalition’s leaders and that is why they voted for them. The leaders need to revisit the manifesto and focus on integrating the youth in the government. The youth need to be involved in our country’s development. In order to build hope in Kenyan youth, their affairs need to be handled specifically, not lumped together with other matters. This can only be done if there is an authority that is solely charged with dealing with youth affairs, such as a full-fledged government ministry. GIDEON KETER, chairman, United Republican Party, Youth Congress

We must fight graft in all its forms; it is a threat to our wellbeing Corruption is a serious problem in Kenya and involves both the public and the private sectors. It is a major drag on economic growth and poverty reduction and needs to be dealt with as a matter of urgency. The fight against corruption should not be left to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Judiciary alone; the leaders and the citizens have a responsibility to fight graft. Corruption is indeed a major crime and goes beyond the more widely known forms such as bribery and embezzlement of public funds to influence-trading and concealment and laundering of the proceeds of corruption.

It is ironical that the President recently launched a major campaign against corruption and even asked public oﬃcials mentioned in the infamous List of Shame to step aside, yet he went ahead to order the 10,000 police recruits whose appointment was stopped by a court due to widespread allegations of corruption to report for training. Most of the recruits were accused of paying bribes to get their names on the list. What is to prevent them from corruptly seeking to recoup their investment once they start working? After all, the police force has for long topped the list of corrupt institutions. FRANKLINE OMONDI, Kakamega

Emails from correspondents

ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE: We need a referendum on security so we can vote to change the Constitution to deny bail to terrorists and people accused of other serious crimes. It is unfair to let lose criminals who have committed murder in the name of the Bill of Rights. Terrorists have no respect for the law. We should empower the president to declare terrorists enemy combatants to receive long jail terms or even the death sentence. It is not acceptable that criminals who kill innocent people are left to walk free. MWANGI JEREMIAH, Thika FOOD SAFETY: We need to ensure that the food we eat is safe. In European Union countries, there are stringent measures to monitor chemical residue in food. It is not unusual to find food that has failed to meet export standards being sold locally either for human or animal consumption. The toxins eventually end up in our bodies. What a farmer feeds his livestock affects the health of the consumers. Any toxic material in rivers eventually gets into human bodies. Food safety is a multidimensional undertaking. JAMES M. KING’AU, Nyahururu STOP LAND GRABBING: Dandora residents are suffering because of some people’s greed for open spaces and road reserves. This has caused blocking of sewer lines and messed up the environment. Such spaces belong to the community and should be saved for the benefit of our children and future generations. Land grabbers should not be allowed to privatise public land. It is discouraging that even though several cases of land grabbing have been reported to the city planning department, no action has been taken. PETERSON MUGWE, Nairobi TERRORISM: Closing refugee camps in northeastern Kenya will not magically end the attacks by AlShabaab. Other measures also need to be taken to ensure the safety of Kenyans. We need to reinforce security personnel in northern Kenya, as well as strengthen our intelligence networks and hold those in charge of security accountable for the infiltration of illegal aliens. Another major step towards defeating terrorists is establishing who is a genuine Kenyan. Only those who have gone through a rigorous process and been confirmed to be Kenyan should get ID cards.

Rogo shooting scene ‘had 16 cartridges’ Oﬃcer says radical preacher was found lying dead in the driver’s seat

BY PHILIP MUYANGA @philipmuyanga pmuyanga@ke.nationmedia.com

ixteen empty cartridges were recovered at the scene where radical Muslim preacher Sheikh Aboud Rogo was shot dead, an inquest into his death heard yesterday Former Kisauni Divisional Criminal Investigation Officer (DCIO) Benedict Kigen said when police arrived at the scene following the August 27, 2012, shooting, they found Mr Rogo lying on the driver’s seat. “There was an old man whom we learnt was his father-in-law holding him. The deceased’s wife was in the back seat,” said Mr Kigen. The officer, currently stationed in Voi, was testifying before Mombasa Chief Magistrate Maxwell Gicheru, who is presiding over the inquest into Mr Rogo’s death. Mr Kigen said a group of youths at the scene refused to have the deceased photographed and that a post-mortem examination was not conducted on the body. The officer said he was alerted of the shooting through police radio calls and arrived at the scene to find some of his colleagues already

Police in Savage identiﬁed Rodney Terrell Dobie, 41, as the man who fatally shot Ms Muchina in the head before killing himself.

there. He further said officers took the vehicle in which the deceased died to Bamburi police station where it was photographed. A team of CID officers was later sent from Nairobi to investigate the shooting, he added. Chief Inspector Alex Mwandawiro, a firearms examiner, told the court that on September 7, 2012, the police laboratory received 16 spent cartridges. “I examined the exhibits and they all revealed markings consistent with an AK-47 rifle, and that they were fired from one gun,” said Mr Mwandawiro. Prosecuting counsel Lydia Kagori applied to have the inquest adjourned, saying an officer who had been bonded to testify had gone for training and that two doctors had not appeared in court. The court allowed the application for adjournment and issued summonses to six witnesses still waiting to testify at the inquest. Hearing resumes on May 7.

Former Kisauni DCIO Benedict Kigen appears before Mombasa chief magistrate Maxwell Gicheru yesterday to testify during an inquest into the death of Muslim preacher Sheikh Aboud Rogo who was killed on August 27 2012 along the Mombasa-Malindi highway.

“Dobie used a handgun to shoot Muchina once in the head, then fatally shot himself in the head too,” a police spokesman said on Thursday. The couple’s identities were released on Tuesday by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Oﬃce. Police found their bodies just after 11:30am in their house when responding to a welfare call from Muchina’s employer after she failed to report for work that morning. A relative told the Nation that Kenyans and other well-wishers were meeting in Bloomington, Minnesota, for prayers. “We intend to hold a fundraiser this Saturday to assist the family transport the body (Muchina’s) to Kenya for burial,” she said.

BY NATION TEAM

ince 2007, Kisumu has been seen as a hotbed of violence. But not anymore. The city is fast turning into a hospitality hub as locals and foreigners flock the town for holidays and conferences. There has been an inﬂux of leaders who have preferred holding their conferences in Kisumu. These have included governors, business leaders, parliamentary and county committees and constitutional commissions. Oﬃcials from neighbouring counties including Siaya, Homa Bay and Busia county governments have also been spending weekends meeting in Kisumu Leaders and businessmen say increased interest in Kisumu is also due to the fact that the city serves as a central location for six counties. Kenya Chamber of Commerce branch chairman Israeli Agina says the tourism sector in Kisumu is also expanding because of improved security. “This is attracting visitors and conferences into this town,” he says. “Security is better compared to Nairobi and Mombasa which have been hit by Al-Shabaab. This explains why Kisumu is attracting many meetings and investors,” Mr Agina adds. He says modernisation of Kisumu International Airport has also opened up opportunities in the region, not only in terms of trade but tourism as well. “Kisumu is now connecting the East African region. Passengers from Uganda can now easily connect through the Kisumu airport to neighbouring countries,” Mr Agina said. And starting April 22, Kisumu will be hosting the second conference on devolution which leaders say is a pointer to the fact that the town is becoming an ideal tourism destination. Some 6,000 delegates from the 47 counties are expected at the three-day meeting. Tourism Cabinet Secretary Phyllis Kandie says Kisumu is

This is aimed at helping hotels attain international standards. “Including other countries in the drive which we have planned for this year will help ensure set standards are met,” said Ms Kandie who spoke in Kisumu on Wednesday. She said standardisation of hotels will be done to improve marketability and help tourists know what to expect when they visit them. — Patrick Langat strategically placed to attract tourism to the Western circuit. “The ministry has realized the western circuit is the next frontier for tourism.

Mr Ranguma said the development of western Kenya as a major tourism hub had just but begun. “We will select key areas we will be develop and ensure

An aerial view of Kisumu Town, which is increasingly becoming a destination for tourism and conferences. they are on the international map as tourist attraction sites,” Mr Ranguma said. Kisumu East MP Shakeel Shabbir and Kisumu Hotels Managers Group chairman Robinson Anyal say the city’s improved image is also due to favourable accommodation rates, hospitality and good climate. And to Mr Shabbir, aggressive marketing strategy by county leaders has added to the trick. “Many parliamentary committees are now bringing their sittings here. As local MPs, we are encouraging people to visit this place and we are happy with the response,” he said. Improved infrastructure has also been central by easing movement of goods and services. Mr Omar Ahmed, chairman of the County Public Accounts Forum that hosted its annual meeting in Kisumu last year, loves the town’s climate. “When Kisumu was suggested as the venue for our meeting, we quickly agreed. This shows how much the town is growing and as MCAs, we are happy to support it,” said Mr Ahmed, the Kaloleni MCA in Kisumu. Kisumu boasts of additional hotels providing ample space for conferences and seminars. The city has eight hotels and several guest houses. Mr Anyal said they are in for

big boost during the devolution conference. “We are finalising plans to host the delegates. We are expecting increased bed capacity in hotels such as Royal City which recently expanded. Five others are undergoing renovations ahead of the conference,” said Mr Anyal. Taxi operators and car hire firms have also not been left behind - they are also registering increased profits. Mr Alex Kavaya, the proprietor of Kairi Tours and Safaris says unlike the notion that Kisumu is a violence hotspot, residents are hospitable and warm. “Business for taxi drivers has seen an increase in profits owing to the fact that people are now warming up to Kisumu. We are expecting more,” he said. Nyanza police boss Willy Lugusa attributed the latest interest in Kisumu to improved security. “Our efforts to maintain law and order have helped attract many people to Kisumu,” he said. Mr Lugusa says security arrangements for the conference are complete adding delegates’ safety is assured. “The high-level personalities that will attend the conference gives us even more work. But we are up to the task,” he said. Report by Everline Okewo, Silas Apollo and Patrick Langat

COUNTY NEWS > ROUND-UP Kwale > Firm warns of court action over bus park

Kakamega > Oparanya criticised over assembly speech

The county government has cancelled a Sh30 million tender for construction of a modern Bus Park in Kwale Town. The work has been awarded to Jumwaka Construction and Site Management. County Chief Oﬃcer Nurrein Mwatsahu said the contractor lacked capacity to undertake the work. But the contractor maintained that the project was on course. Mr Arthur Wafula said he had not received any letter terminating the contract but threatened to go to court for redress as such a move would violate his rights. —Farouk Mwabege

Governor Wycliﬀe Oparanya was yesterday criticised for failing to address problems facing the region in his address to the County Assembly on Wednesday. County Woman Representative Rachael Ameso said the governor also failed to capture interests of the youths, women and the disabled. “Unfortunately, the governor did not mention these groups anywhere in the county’s strategic development plans,” she said. Mr Oparanya said several oﬃces reserved for women have remained vacant, with no applications received. —John Shilitsa

The county leadership is upbeat as investors start pumping billions of shillings into several projects across the county. Among the investments is a Sh1.4 billion shopping mall which is coming up in Nanyuki town, a ﬁve-star hotel next to Thomson Falls in Nyahururu and a brewery on the outskirts of Nanyuki town. Governor Joshua Irungu said more investors would set up shop in the county after the investors’ conference slated for June 18 and 19. He spoke on Wednesday after launching the conference’s organising committee. —Muchiri Gitonga

Nyeri > Boda bodas pray to avert road accidents

Two women were yesterday fined for operating bars without liquor licences. Nelius Nyawira and Ruth Kabori appeared separately before Meru Resident Magistrate Mercy Nasimiyu. Nyawira, who was selling liquor before opening hours and without a licence, pleaded guilty and was fined Sh20,000 or serve six months in jail. Kabori, who said she had applied for a licence but had not yet collected it, was fined Sh30,000 or six months in jail. — Darlington Manyara

Boda boda operators yesterday took to prayers to stop a streak of bad luck that has seen many of them involved in accidents. Rev Peter Kariuki Ndung’u of PCEA Nyeri, who presided over the event, said there was need for joint eﬀorts to make the roads safer. National Transport and Safety Authority Inspector Patrick Kibaru said many riders operated without licenses, leading to numerous accidents. —Charity Wambugu

Emurua-Dikir MP Johana Ng’eno yesterday blamed the mistrust between governors and their deputies for the failure by the county chiefs to step aside over corruption allegations. Speaking in Kericho yesterday, Mr Ngeno (above) said the governors feared handing their jobs to their deputies. “Governors thought they would have deputy governors as purely ceremonial oﬃcers. Why do they not trust the same people they selected as their running mates ahead of the 2013 elections?” he posed. He said he would soon table a Bill in the National Assembly seeking to compel government oﬃcials to step aside if they are named in corrupt deals. — Timothy Kemei

Kisii > Traders take to streets over increased levies

Tharaka-Nithi > Embrace technology, beekeepers urged

Uasin Gishu > Over 13 million trees planted in new venture

Lamu > 5,000 abandon cotton farming due to pest

Meru > Farmers to be trained to boost coﬀee yields

Traders yesterday took to the streets to protest high county government taxes. Their efforts to meet Governor James Ongwae were thwarted as enforcement officers had locked the gate to the county headquarters. Mrs Irene Bosibori, who has a stall dealing in electronics, said the levies had doubled over the last year and she appealed to the county government to review them. “In the 2013/2014 financial year, I paid Sh4,900 for a single business permit but this year, I got an invoice of Sh10,000,” she said. The traders also claimed they were harassed by county enforcement officers daily. — Brian Moseti

Farmers in Tharaka-Nithi have been urged to embrace new bee keeping technology to boost harvests. County livestock production oﬃcer Duncan Kimotho said many farmers continue to use the traditional log beehives which produce lower quality honey. “The bee keeping enterprise does well in the natural environments such as Mount Kenya Forest Zone and the woodlands in the drier regions of the county, away from the cultivated areas where bees are killed by farm chemicals leading to low hive occupancies,” said Mr Kimotho in his Chuka town oﬃce. — Alex Njeru

More than 13 million trees have so far been planted by maize farmers and the Kenya Forestry Service to increase forest cover and boost food production in the North Rift. The seedlings have covered some 4,500 hectares of the 11,000 targeted in a plan known as plantation establishment and livelihood support. The acreage under maize and beans in public forests has also been increased. Head of North Rift forest conservancy Solomon Mibey said rangers have been sent out to contain illegal logging. “We have in the meantime taken very tough measures to protect planted trees,” said Mr Mibey. — Barnabas Bii

About 5,000 people have quit cotton farming after a destructive insect invaded their ﬁelds. The pest has attacked farms in the region since early last year, causing huge losses to cotton farmers. The county has a total of about 10,000 cotton farmers. Baharini, Uziwa, Tewe and Wetemere in Mpeketoni and some parts of Witu division are the highest producers of cotton. County cotton cooperative chairman Joseph Migwi said the farmers abandoned the crop due to losses they incurred as a result of the pest invasion. — Kalume Kazungu

Coffee farmers will be educated on better production techniques to boost farm yields. Igembe Zone Co-operative officer Micheni Kibati yesterday told farmers at Anchenge Coffee Factory that they would be equipped with better farming, crop-handling and harvesting methods. “Production of coffee in our zone is very low and cannot sustain our factories. We therefore need to urge farmers to double production which would also give them more money,” Mr Kebati said. —Dickson Mwiti

Dairy farmers keeping poor breeds, says PS BY MACHARIA MWANGI Most dairy farmers keep poor breeds resulting into average milk production, according to Livestock Principal Secretary Fred Segor. Mr Segor, who spoke in Naivasha on Wednesday, said Kenya has the potential to increase its milk production. He said the ministry was looking for ways to encourage farmers to rear high-yielding breeds, including the use of artiﬁcial insemination.

Pedigree heifers

“We want to ensure dairy farmers keep animals that can produce at least 20 kilogrammes of milk in a day,” he said. Farms owned by the government would be improved and used to rear pedigree heifers that would be sold to farmers, he said. “We are also banking on private breeders to help us improve the breeds.” However, he said the high cost of heifers, which is Sh200,000 on average, had led to a high cost of production and was beyond the reach of many farmers. The high cost of feeds should also be addressed, he added.

Nairobi | Business people cry out for help

Shop owners count losses as matatus block entries Streets have been turned into pick-up and drop-oﬀ points for passengers

BY GEORGE SAYAGIE

BY MUCHEMI WACHIRA

@wachiramuchemi mwachira@ke.nationmedia.com

he conversion of some city streets into matatus stages has resulted in heavy losses for shop owners as the vehicles block customers from entering their businesses. Traders have been appealing to the Nairobi County Government to bar matatus from streets like Tom Mboya, which has been turned into a pick-up and drop-oﬀ terminus. Recently, the United Business Association, whose members are traders from Nairobi and other parts of the country, wrote to City Hall complaining that the matatus were disrupting business. Several other organisations have lodged complaints but no action has been taken.

Don’t sell your land, MP urges residents

FILE | NATION

Matatus pick up passengers at a non-gazetted terminus on Tom Mboya Street in Nairobi. “Business has been poor as people who want to do their shopping after work ﬁnd it diﬃcult to gain entry as buses are lined up outside, discouraging those on the opposite side of the road to cross,” a manager of a supermarket in Tom Mboya Street said. Nairobi County Transport Executive, Mohammed Abdullahi people should not just blame City Hall but should suggest ways of addressing the matter. “We are reviewing the routes for matatus and are also trying to get input from the operators,” he said. Mr Abdullahi said the county government will soon designate stopping areas for matatus and buses outside

the city centre as a long-term plan to decongest Nairobi. The county government also said it is making efforts to end the traffic gridlocks in Nairobi by getting rid of roundabouts and replacing them with signalised intersections. From about 5pm when people are going home after work, there is chaos on almost all the streets on the eastern side of Tom Mboya Street where matatus and buses compete to pick up passengers. Crossing the crowded street is a risky business even with the presence of traffic police as the matatus break all the traffic rules as they rush to take available parking spaces.

High levies killing businesses

Narok South MP Korei Lemein has warned residents against selling their farms along the Narok-Maaasai Mara Road because there is a caution against it. The legislator argued that Oloolaimutia, Siana, Orkinyei and Maji Moto group ranches had sanctioned land subdivision and this had heightened sales even before residents get title deeds. “Narok has started the madness of selling land just like some sections of Kajiado County did and the hardest hit area is Narok’s Maji Moto area where locals have been ﬂooded by sale requests from sweet-talking brokers,” he said. Speaking when he presented a bus to Enkare Nairowua Secondary School in his constituency, Mr Lemein said the land sale hype had led to complaints of irregular subdivision by oﬃcers in the Lands department and community land committees.

Irregular transactions

“Women and families have been left landless because their land has been sold irregularly without their consent, or convinced by brokers and land speculators to sell at throw-away prices. Land meant for conservation has been turned into non-productive agriculture ventures,” he added. The MP said all transactions taking place during the subsistence of the caution imposed by the Narok County Government would not be recognised. He said the ban was aimed at blocking illegal land sale and warned that any government ofﬁcial found condoning the illegal sale of land would be prosecuted for condoning corruption. For the past two years, land speculators and cartels have invaded the county to cash in on illegal sale of communal land in a region seen to have huge economic potential since the inception of county governments. Last year, Governor Samuel Tunai warned that oﬃcers who fail to abide by the directive on land transaction would be sacked.

Names of 24 ‘ghost workers’ forwarded to ministry BY PATRICK LANGAT AND ANITA CHEPKOECH The names of 24 people accused of drawing salaries from the county government for work not done have been forwarded to the Ministry of Devolution for action. County Secretary Humphrey Nakitare said the individuals no longer worked for the Kisumu county government but for other devolved units, hence were drawing double salaries. He said the “ghost” workers were

taking home close to Sh2.5 million every month. The county unearthed the scam when it asked its employees to personally collect cheques for their January salaries from designated places while presenting their employment letters. The county oﬃcials also found out that salaries were being paid to some workers who had died. A report to the Devolution ministry indicated that the former employees who were drawing salaries had since moved to other counties including

Homa Bay, Bungoma and Nairobi. “We removed the 24 from our payroll and have forwarded their names to the Ministry of Devolution for the correct punishment because it involves more than one county,” Mr Nakitare told the Nation during an interview in his oﬃce yesterday. Some county staﬀ had opposed the directive to personally collect cheques for their salaries, saying the system discriminated against them. They said asking them to line up for payment was demeaning and a violation of

their rights. However, Mr Nakitare insisted the head count through physical collection of cheques had to be done. “These workers cannot complain that we asked them to line up for their money. They later saw the sense of what we were saying and helped us do what we wanted to do and that is to get the full list of our employees,” he said. As a result, the county government saved Sh2.5 million in January, he said.

Sale of low quality seeds to be halted A motion has been passed to compel the county government to stop the sale of low quality maize seeds. Igoji West ward representative Kaumbuthu Chabari, who is the chairman of the Agriculture committee, moved the motion in the county assembly. Members raised concern over the proliferation of low quality maize seeds. The motion requires the county government to take urgent steps to stop the distribution of poor quality maize seeds. — David Muchui

Drama festival | Digital technology, cattle rustling and landgrabbing among highlights

Kitui >

Lack of playtime plays out on stage Malombe calls for unity to ensure growth in the county BY KITAVI MUTUA

Solo verse encourages parents to support and nurture their children’s talent BY ANTHONY NJAGI

anjagi@ke.nationmedia.com

hould learners give equal attention to extracurricular activities as academic pursuits? This was the monumental question on the third day of this year’s Kenya National Drama Festival at Lohana Hall in Nakuru County yesterday. Vivian Wambui of Moi Nairobi Girls High School in her solo verse Please Daddy highlights the mental torture students go through when they are denied the chance to take part in the drama festivals. In the verse scripted by Isaac Kimiyuni and produced by Jael Muriithi, Wambui fearfully writes a letter to her father (daddy) asking for a chance to perform. The verse encourages parents to support and nurture their children’s talent that could in later life make them earn millions when they eventually feature in national and international events. First on stage yesterday was Chesamisi High School students, who presented an entertaining oral narrative Lumia C113 narrated by Olich Oloo Dan and Marrin Kusimba. “We need digital leaders who have knowledge on governing the nation where realtime decisions are made to better our lives. Lumia is used to symbolise leadership,” said Kusimba in his story. The narrative depicts a boy, Abscondita, who carries his Motorola

C113 phone to school and manages to win a Lumia in Safaricom promotion ‘Bonyeza ushinde’. The verse takes a hilarious turn when Abscondita is unable to use the Lumia and is suspended from school and will only be readmitted on condition that he becomes a ‘digital’ citizen. The verse challenges all government officials to take charge of their offices to improve services. The narrator says the officials can only do this by making use of modern technology. Nyeri County’s Tumutumu Girls High School staged choral verse Brayo that portrays wayward students who play truant. In the narrative, school authorities successfully tackle drug abuse, carrying of illegal items to school and blatant breaking of rules to enhance discipline and improve performance. Homa Bay’s Karabok Secondary School staged a Kiswahili play Parakwanja la Kajificheni, which touches on the topical issue of grabbing of public land meant for public schools. The play was scripted by Simon Kola.

The cattle rustling menace also played out on stage as Baricho High School presented Kiswahili play Inspector Alfayo which highlighted the plight of schools in regions aﬀected by banditry. Kajiado County’s Laiser Hill Academy staged powerful play The Class of Grass written by Anthony Kirimi. The play condemns the irresponsibility of a doctor who refuses to attend to a dying university student who had taken illicit brew from the slums. Details emerge that the doctor’s decision is meant to conceal his collusion with a private clinc owner

where drugs are stolen from the public hospital and sold out illegally, denying the health centre essential medicine. Excellent acting by Eugene Andanji, Bronix Mecadly, Kelvin Kiromo, and Syvia Gachuhi brings out the message, which warns public institutions against oﬀering poor services. At Nakuru Lions Primary School hall, Shimo la Tewa Borstal School started presented choral verse Tabia Bandiliko, which brought to the fore the drug menace at the Coast. The choral verse was directed by George Gitonga.

Major renovations planned for colonial era theatre BY BENARD OGEMBO The six-decade-old Nakuru Players’ Theatre is set to get a facelift. Speaking at the National Schools and Colleges Drama Festival in Nakuru yesterday, Deputy Governor Joseph Ruto said the theatre will become a training hub for comedians, actors and ﬁlmmakers. “We are keen to establish the arts

because we are passionate about nurturing talent, especially among young people,’ said Mr Ruto. He said an artistes’ entrepreneurship programme had been established under the county’s Culture and Social Services Department. “We call on talented youth to get in touch so that they can beneﬁt from the programme,” Mr Ruto said. Built in the 1940s by colonial

settlers as a place of leisure and entertainment, Nakuru Players’ Theatre has grown into an incubator for young talent in the Rift Valley region. Activities at the theatre include comedy, poetry, dance, music, talk shows, drawing and painting. Workshops are also conducted for college and secondary school students who want to learn more about theatre.

The deputy governor said drama plays a pivotal role in the growth and development of an individual as it is a mirror of society. “Drama also plays an important role in the intellectual and moral development of learners and is also a source of employment,” he added. He urged the fete organisers to maintain discipline, professionalism and fairness during the event.

Governor Julius Malombe yesterday called for unity among Kitui leaders in the county and closer ties with the national government to overcome social and economic challenges facing the region. Dr Malombe (above), who has been at loggerheads with most Kitui MPs, said the county’s future will depend on whether leaders will work together in ﬁnding ways of reducing poverty. He made the remarks during a state of the county address to the assembly, which coincided with the second anniversary of devolution. The county boss also used the occasion to outline his achievements for the two years he has been in oﬃce. Dr Malombe told the assembly that he had come up with a road map that was turning around the county’s economy. He said residents were already seeing the results of his agenda. “Our county’s economy is growing and we are creating more jobs for our people,” said the governor. He said enhanced access to water, electricity and better roads; bustling trade; and quality education had improved the quality of people’s lives. This, according to him, was a measure of the great strides the county had made under his leadership.

He cited the community level infrastructure programme under which Sh375 million was spent on 631 small projects in a bid to spread the fruits of devolution to all the villages. “We have stirred up trade in rural areas by investing Sh354 million in electriﬁcation. We have lit up 832 public primary schools, and earned recognition for that,” he said. Last week, Kitui was ranked the county with the highest number of public primary schools connected to electricity. It was followed by Kakamega and Kisii with 770 and 697 schools respectively. At the same time, the governor urged security agencies to comb all South Kitui game reserves to ensure they are not used by terrorists as hideouts.

Kiambu | Battle for votes begins in earnest

Ten get the nod for Kabete from elections board Seat fell vacant after MP Muchai was shot dead in Nairobi city centre in February BY ERIC WAINAINA

@EWainaina ewainaina@ke.nationmedia.com

he Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) yesterday cleared ten candidates to contest the Kabete parliamentary by-election on May 4. IEBC official Esther Wanjiku said yesterday the last candidate was cleared on Wednesday evening. Former Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu is among those cleared. The nine other candidates are Mr Kavore Kariuki (Narc Kenya), Mr Kiriro wa Ngugi (Democratic Party), Mr Isaiah Ndirangu (Party of Democratic Unity), Mr Newton Njenga (National Vision Party), Mr George Mungai and Mr Moses Wachaga, (independent), Mr Paul Kariuki (People’s Party of Kenya) and Mr Wilson Karanja (ODM). Mr Waititu will represent President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) and rights activist John Wamagata will contest on a Safina ticket. The seat fell vacant following the death in February of Mr George Muchai, who was shot with his two bodyguards and driver in Nairobi. Mr Waititu is confident of easily winning the seat, saying the area is a JAP stronghold. “I won 14,000 votes in the primaries while my closest challenger had 2,000. This means the people of Kabete have accepted me as their MP. My track record in Embakasi speaks for itself,” he said.

Stephen Kung’u, the owner of Nakuru’s Kunste Hotel and numerous clubs is dead. News of his death shocked Nakuru residents who only learned about it when his family met at one of his hotels yesterday. The family did not speak to the media in respect to his wish that the aﬀair remains private. Burial preparations were being made at his Pivot Hotel, Nakuru. His clubs included Club Coco Savanna at the heart of Nakuru. Mr Kung ’u will best be remembered for being an astute businessman who inspected his clubs through out the night and shunned politics.

Widow held for ﬁve months over Sh30,000 hospital bill

Elderly men to spend their lives in prison for raping 10-year-old

BY ALEX NJERU

BY VALENTINE KETER

A 38-year-old woman has been barred from leaving a hospital for the last five months for failing to pay a bill of Sh30,000. The amount has since risen to Sh173,767. Ms Lucy Ndegi from Buuri Constituency in Nyeri County was admitted to the hospital on October 12, 2014, and was supposed to leave on November 3, 2014. However, her family could not aﬀord to pay Sh30,000 for her treatment. Ms Ndegi told the Nation at the Chogoria Mission Hospital in Tharaka-Nithi County that she is a widowed mother of three and has ﬁve

granddaughters. She said her family organised a fund-raiser in a bid to clear the bill but raised only Sh2,000. “When the amount rose to Sh80,000, my daughters approached the hospital authorities, seeking casual jobs so that they could raise the money to pay my bill. They were, however, denied the chance to work at the institution,” said Ms Ndegi. She appealed to well-wishers to come to her rescue. Human Resource and Administration Manager Maryanne Gitonga denied that the hospital had refused to employ her daughters. She said there are policies to be followed before entering into any agreement.

His rivals, however, are urging the electorate not to vote for a political party but for individuals. “We should not elect leaders on the basis of political parties because this is how we end up with bad leaders,” the Democratic Party’s Mr Ngugi said. Safina’s Mr Wamagata said if elected, he will create a culture of opposition in county politics and introduce policies that will beneﬁt the people. “Kiambu is a one-party county and this has been costly for the people because all MPs dance to the same tune. If elected, I will not be on the government or opposition side but on side of the people,” he said. The candidates have promised to complete Mr Muchai’s CDF projects and start new ones. Independent Mr Mungai, a university lecturer, said education, water, health and youth empowerment will be top of his agenda if he is elected to the National Assembly.

Nakuru >

Two octogenarians have been sent to spend the rest of their lives in jail for deﬁling a 10-year-old girl. Mureithi Ngari alias Mukunga, 85, and Tom Mungai, 80, were yesterday found guilty of raping the girl on diﬀerent days in their houses at Tangi Tano Village in Gilgil. Nakuru Resident Magistrate Ritah Amwayi jailed them for life saying they were old men whom the society relied on for advice but had abused their position. “These men are like the minor’s great great grand-

fathers but seem to have no respect for their age and I therefore sentence them to serve life imprisonment as this will serve as a lesson to such sexual predators,” the magistrate said.

The age of the younger one of the men found guilty of raping the girl The minor had recounted to Ms Amwayi how Ngari lured her to his house when she met him on November 14, 2014 on her way to Tangi Tano market. She told the court that Ngari gave her

Sh10 to buy sweets before taking her to his house, where he raped her. After the act, he threatened her not to tell anyone. The court further heard that two days later, on her way to church, the minor met Mungai, who took her to his house, gave her food and deﬁled her. After the act, Mungai sent her to eat in a hotel at the market, where a teacher found her and she narrated to her what had happened. The two were arrested and taken to Elementaita Police Station after the teacher reported the matter.

Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri described Mr Kung’u as a hardworking man. “He was an icon and one of the pillars of Nakuru whose establishments forever remain landmarks here,” Mr Ngunjiri said yesterday. The idea to set up Kunste Hotel, his ﬂagship, was mooted in the early 1970s when he applied for the land to construct the hotel. However, the hotel would run into a storm when some people obtained allotment letters for two plots in front of it on May 3, 1993. This would have blocked access to the Nakuru-Nairobi highway. He sued and won the case. His trademark smile came to be he face of his businesses that he solely managed at a old age making a mark in Nakuru and Nairobi. He ensured his businesses remained apolitical when he set up Pivot Hotel as a 24-hour club complete with a discotheque, extensive bar counters as well as lodging rooms. Kunste Hotel could host Kanu regional delegates meetings for days and when they left the opposition parties would book the same venue as all he cared for was business. For the young he founded Club Coco Savanna in Nakuru town in the mild nineties that was managed by his brother in the former Hughes Building. Coco Savanna has since closed down. Yesterday Nakuru’s Kikuyu Council of Elders chairman Mr Gilbert Kabage condoled the family. Mzee Kung’u would advise his friends: “If you want to become poor, fail to pay debts.” The idea to construct Kunste Hotel was mooted in the early seventies when he applied to be allocated the parcel of land saying he wished to construct a tourist facility. Mr Kung’u also owned Nairobi’s Reggae Mecca Monte Carlo Club. So reserved was Mr Kung’u that Nakuru people only heard of his presence after he had left his establishments where he spent his time ushering in customers when he was not ‘holed’ up in his oﬃce writing cheques to clear debts. He reportedly informed his family to ensure that he goes to the grave quietly without much fanfare.

Sudan’s Bashir, a political survivor who shows no sign of slowing down Veteran leader is virtually assured of victory as two detainees freed

KHARTOUM, Thursday

udanese President Omar alBashir, who is running for reelection Monday, seized power in a 1989 Islamist-backed coup and has since weathered international isolation, his country’s dismemberment and economic hardship. Viliﬁed by many in the West for hosting Al-Qaeda in the 1990s and for alleged war crimes in Darfur, he oversaw South Sudan’s secession in 2011. The 71-year-old has proved to be a cunning political operator. While indicted twice by the International Criminal Court, he has strengthened his hand at home and abroad. Parliament granted him greater powers last year and recent diplomatic successes have left him riding high. Sudan helped broker a deal between Egypt and Ethiopia in March over a dispute about the sharing of waters from the Nile. Mr Bashir also joined a Saudiled coalition against Shiite rebels in Yemen last month, moving closer to Riyadh and the Gulf. He is virtually unopposed in the elections as the 15 other candidates are little-known and most opposition parties are boycotting the polls. He has still toured the country giving speeches, dancing and waving his trademark cane, apparently unaﬀected by two knee operations last year.

TOKYO, Thursday A Japanese research team said today it had developed a field test for Ebola that gives results in just over 11 minutes — down from the 90-minute test used now. The breakthrough by Nagasaki University’s Institute of Tropical Medicine will allow medics to move much more quickly in treating people with the haemorrhagic fever, Professor Jiro Yasuda told AFP. “The result time was unexpectedly short,” said Prof Yasuda of the trial conducted in Guinea last month on 100 samples, of which 47 proved positive. The Guinean government has now asked the institute and its collaboration partner Toshiba to supply equipment to roll out the test, he added. The test hinges on what the researchers have called a “primer”, a substance that amplifies only those genes specific to the Ebola virus found in a blood sample or other bodily fluid.

Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir waves to the crowd during a campaign rally for the upcoming presidential elections in El-Fasher, in North Darfur, on Wednesday. on being close to crowds and addressing them in colloquial Sudanese Arabic. Mr Bashir, who has two wives and no children, was born in 1944 in Hosh Bannaga to an agricultural family, in Sudan’s Arab heartland north of Khartoum. He entered the military at a young age, rising through the ranks and joining an elite parachute regiment. He fought alongside the Egyptian army in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. In 1989, then a brigade commander, he led a bloodless coup against the democratically elected government. He was backed by the National Islamic Front of his then mentor Hassan al-Turabi. Under Turabi’s inﬂuence he led Sudan towards a more radical brand of Islam, hosting Al-Qaeda and sending jihadist volunteers to ﬁght in the country’s civil war with the south Sudanese. Washington slapped

Sudan with a trade embargo in 1997 over charges that included human rights abuses. In 1999, Bashir moved to end Sudan’s isolation, ousting Turabi from his inner circle and later surprising his staunchest critics by signing a peace accord in 2005 to end more than two decades of devastating northsouth conﬂict. When ethnic insurgents launched a rebellion in Darfur in 2003, his government’s decision to unleash the armed forces and allied militia saw him slide back into isolation. More than 300,000 people have been killed in the conﬂict, the UN says, and more than two million displaced. The ICC indicted Bashir in 2009 for war crimes and crimes against humanity and in 2010 for genocide. Since 2011 he has also faced insurgencies in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, launched

by the Southern People’s Liberation Army-North. In recent years, he has weathered other challenges. Meanwhile, two top Sudanese political ﬁgures were freed from detention today without explanation, days before national elections, their lawyer said. Mr Farouk Abu Issa and Mr Amin Makki Madani were detained in December after signing an agreement to unite opposition to President Omar al-Bashir, who is standing for reelection on Monday. “The prison told them: ‘okay, you are free; go home’,” lawyer Mohammed al-Zein told AFP, adding they had received no further details on the decision. Both were at home with their families in Khartoum, he said. (AFP) TO COMMENT ON THESE AND OTHER STORIES GO TO www.nation.co.ke

Nigeria shuts borders before regional elections ABUJA, Thursday

Japanese Ebola test can give results after 11 minutes

midnight on Wednesday until 12: 00 pm on Sunday following the governorship and state assembly elections, said Abubakar Magaji, permanent secretary at Nigeria’s Interior Ministry. The ministry said the move was designed “to allow for peaceful conduct” of Saturday’s vote. Nigeria is bordered by Benin to the

west, Cameroon to the east and also had borders with Chad and Niger in the north. The March 28 general elections — which saw Jonathan lose to challenger Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria’s ﬁrst ever democratic transfer of power — were largely peaceful. Isolated violence in the northeast blamed on Boko Haram Islamist mili-

tants and small-scale unrest between rival camps in southern Rivers state marred an otherwise violence-free polling day. But security fears remain high ahead of this weekend’s vote. Nigeria’s state governors hold signiﬁcant power and competition for the posts can be ﬁerce nationwide. (AFP)

Using existing techniques, ribonucleic acid (RNA) — biological molecules used in the coding of genes — is extracted from any viruses present in a sample. This is then used to synthesise the viral DNA, which can be mixed with the primer and then heated to 60-65 degrees Celsius. If Ebola is present, DNA specific to the virus is amplified by the action of the primers. The byproducts from the process cause the liquid to become cloudy, providing visual confirmation, Yasuda said. Currently, a method called polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is used to detect the Ebola virus. This requires doctors to heat and cool samples repeatedly and takes at least 90 minutes, sometimes up to two hours. The Ebola virus, transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, has killed more than 10,000 people in western Africa since it re-emerged in December 2013. (AFP)

S. Leone plans counter demo in US on constitutional crisis BY KEMO CHAM

NATION Correspondent FREETOWN, Thursday The protagonists in Sierra Leone’s constitutional crisis are taking their battle to the streets of Western capitals over the sacking of Vice-President Samuel Sam-Sumana. Massive counter demonstrations by Sierra Leoneans for and against their government in the on going crisis are set for the US this weekend, as the

court back home sets a date for hearing in the much anticipated matter over the sacking of the country`s elected Vice President. The Supreme Court finally convened today, for the first hearing on the matter. Mr Sam-sumana is challenging his removed last month from office by President Ernest Bai Koroma after a dispute within the governing All Peoples Congress (APC) that saw the former expelled.

Lawyers of the sacked VP will be seeking an injunction on Thursday to stop the newly appointed Vice President from continuing in oﬃce, while the constitutionality of the president’s action is being heard, the sources said.

White backlash as Rhodes statue brought down University votes to remove monument from its campus after long debate CAPE TOWN, Thursday

s preparations were made to remove the statue of British colonialist Cecil Rhodes from the University of Cape Town today, white groups launched protests to protect what they see as their heritage. South Africa’s oldest university voted on Wednesday to remove the monument from its campus after a month of student protests against a perceived symbol of historical white oppression. The government welcomed the move. “It marks a significant... shift where the country deals with its ugly past in a positive and constructive way,” Sandile Memela, spokesman for the arts and culture ministry, told AFP. He said the government did not encourage the violent removal of statues, and would host “a consultative conference in the next few weeks where the country can adopt an oﬃcial position” on statues and other colonial symbols. On Thursday morning, the youth wing of white Afrikaner solidarity group AfriForum handed a memorandum to parliament in Cape Town to “demand protection” for their heritage. The Afrikaners are

descendents of mainly Dutch settlers from the 17th and 18th centuries and dominated South Africa’s white-minority government before the end of apartheid in 1994. They are no supporters of Rhodes, who was on the British side in the Anglo-Boer war at the beginning of the 20th century, but have seen statues of their own heroes come under attack in the wake of the university protests. Afrikaner men, some of them in quasi-military outﬁts, demonstrated on Wednesday at the statue in Pretoria of former president Paul Kruger — which had been splattered with paint — and at the monument to the leader of the ﬁrst settlers, Jan van Riebeeck, in Cape Town. “The Afrikaner is — from a historical perspective — increasingly being portrayed as criminals and land thieves,” Afriforum said in a statement. “If the heritage of the Afrikaner is not important to Government, our youth members will preserve our own heritage.” (AFP)

However, presidential spokesman George Charamba said the 91 year-old leader was seeking improved bilateral relations with South Africa. “Zimbabwe is seeking assistance to value-add its minerals, contrary to the notion of hand-

Last year South Africa’s exports to Zimbabwe amounted to R24, billion while Harare’s exports only amounted to R2 billion. Mr Charamba said Zimbabwe, whose agriculture based economy, collapsed at the turn of the millennium due to a chaotic land reform exercise and questionable policies, wants to reduce the trade deficit with South Africa. “Zimbabwe would want to attain a position where there is free flow of trade in both directions to ensure prosperity for both countries,” he said. President Mugabe, under fire at home for globetrotting, is being accompanied by his wife Grace in South Africa.

EVIDENCE | ‘They were down’

Witness tells of US police’s fatal shooting Sacked policeman could face sentence of up to life in prison or the killing CHARLESTON, Thursday

man who recorded chilling video of a white police officer gunning down a black man said yesterday that the shooting followed a struggle in which the cop had gained control of the situation. Peaceful protests were held in the evening, with demonstrators saying the quick arrest of the officer averted violent unrest of the kind that erupted in similar cases elsewhere in the US. The now widely-distributed video of South Carolina officer Michael Slager shooting Walter Scott repeatedly in the back was recorded by 23-year-old Feidin Santana. The video sparked public outcry and led to a murder charge against the policeman after it challenged the officer’s account of the shooting that took place in the coastal city of North Charleston. The shooting is America’s latest high-profile police killing of a black man by white officers. A string of such shootings of unarmed victims, where officers are rarely charged, have sparked protests around the country with demonstrators alleging racism in the nation’s police forces. “Before I started recording, they were down on the floor. I remember the police (officer) had control of the situation,” Mr Santana said in an interview with NBC television about what he witnessed in the moments before filming started. “He had control of Scott.

‘‘

I knew right away, I had something on my hands’’ Mr Feidin Santana (Above is the victim) And Scott was trying just to get away from the Taser (stun gun).” “I knew right away, I had something on my hands,” he said about recording the video. Slager was arrested and charged with murder after the video surfaced showing him shooting eight times at Scott, 50, while Scott was running away. He was ﬁred from the police force on Wednesday after being charged with murder and booked into jail. Mr Slager could face a sentence of up to life in prison or the death penalty. Mayor Keith Summey announced the sacking at a highly-charged press conference frequently interrupted by residents angered over the killing. The mayor said the police department would buy body cameras for oﬃcers to wear to help investigate shootings. (AFP)

Shorter people ‘have bigger risk of heart disease’ MIAMI, Thursday Short people face a greater lifetime risk of clogged arteries, according to a study out Wednesday that confirmed the long-known link between height and heart disease by examining genetics. The study is the first to show that the higher risk is primarily due to a variety of genes that inﬂuence whether a person is tall or short, and not potentially confounding

factors like poverty or poor nutrition. The research is published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers examined 180 diﬀerent genetics variants in a database of nearly 200,000 people with and without coronary heart disease, which is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries and can lead to heart attack. It is the most common cause of early death worldwide, killing nearly one in six men and

one in 10 women. They found that every 6.3 centimeters in a person’s height aﬀected their risk of coronary heart disease by 13.5 per cent.

Coronary heart disease

As an example, a 1.5 meter tall person would have on average a 32 per cent higher risk of developing coronary heart disease than a person who was 1.68 meters, said the study. “The more height increasing genetic variants that you carry

the lower your risk of coronary heart disease,” said co-author Christopher Nelson, a British Heart Foundation-funded lecturer at the University of Leicester. “And conversely if you were genetically shorter the higher your risk.” Researchers hope that further study of the genes implicated in height and heart disease may lead to better prevention and treatment in the future.

Iran’s president calls for Yemen ceaseﬁre The US has warned that it would not ‘stand by’ while Iran supports the rebels TEHRAN, Thursday

ranian President Hassan Rouhani called today for a ceaseﬁre in the conﬂict in Yemen between forces loyal to President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and Shiite rebels backed by Tehran. Mr Rouhani, who made his remarks in a speech marking Iran’s National Nuclear Technology Day, also stressed the need for urgent humanitarian aid in a war that has killed at least 643 civilians and wounded another 2,226. He spoke a day after For-

eign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif urged a swift end to the crisis with a call for an immediate ceaseﬁre, followed by humanitarian assistance, dialogue among Yemenis and the formation of an “all-inclusive government.” “Everyone should be thinking of putting an end to the war, of a ceaseﬁre and of humanitarian aid,” Mr Rouhani said, calling on the Arab coalition carrying out air strikes on Shiite Huthi rebels to “reverse course.”

Seizing the capital

The Saudi-led forces launched the air strikes last month as the rebels advanced on Yemen’s main southern city of Aden after seizing the capital. Mr Hadi fled Aden for Saudi Arabia during the

Huthi advance and the city has since seen heavy clashes between pro- and anti-government forces. Meanwhile, Washington warned today it would not “stand by” while Iran supports rebels in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition pounded anti-government forces at the start of a third week of bombings. In the most direct US criticism yet of Tehran’s backing of the Shiite Huthi rebels, Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington would not accept foreign interference in Yemen. “There have been — there are, obviously — ﬂights coming from Iran. Every single week there are ﬂights from Iran and we’ve traced it and know this,” Mr Kerry told PBS television in an interview. (AFP)

tion of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Suppression of Terrorism) Regulations 2013, which requires reporting institutions to take appropriate action by amongst others, freezing until further notice, the property or

funds of designated persons,” said IRA chief executive Sammy Makove. Reporting institutions are also required to take action in accordance with the terrorism and the anti-money laundering laws, Mr Makove added. The government ordered the 86 entities to cease business until investigations are conducted and they are cleared of abetting or facilitating terrorism. The action followed a terror attack at Garissa University College, where 148 people were killed. “For bus companies, this means that they cease to operate as they cannot be on the road without valid insurance covers,” said the regulator. This exposes the transport ﬁrms to the risks they had taken cover for. “For others, their premiums

are withheld and they are off cover, leaving them exposed. They can not get any claims arising from their policies,” said the office. The measure is also bound to affect the insurance agents who had sold the insurance covers because they are paid a commission once the premium is paid.

Money laundering

The regulator said that the Financial Reporting Centre had been designated by the counter ﬁnancing of terrorism inter-ministerial committee as the agency responsible for circulation of the domestic list to supervisory entities speciﬁed under the law.

Ex-Telkom staff fail to enforce Sh1.4bn deal BY NATION REPORTER Former Telkom Kenya workers seeking a Sh1.4 billion retirement payoff have lost a bid to enforce a settlement agreement. High Court Judge Alfred Mabeya declined to enforce a deal the 997 former workers had entered with the telco, for failing to meet certain requirements. The Deed of Settlement dated August 8, 2014 required that the workers, through their lawyer, prepare and submit to Telkom’s lawyers, duly executed consents withdrawing or marking all pending cases they have against Telkom, as settled. “It was then that Telkom’s lawyers are enjoined to execute such consents and file them in the respective suits. It is only then that the obligations as to payments on the part of Telkom shall arise,” said Mr Justice Mabeya. The judge said that a lawyer has an implied authority to enter into a compromise on behalf of his client, adding, “this is a clear statement of the law that does not require any authority”. He noted that it was not in dispute that the 997 former employees worked with Telkom. That they offered their services as best as they could to Telkom for which the company immensely benefited, until it decided to terminate their services. “It is regrettable that even after two courts, the High Court and the Court of Appeal, have pronounced that Telkom ought to pay the 997 former employees certain monies, the company is still bent on postponing its day of reckoning,” said the judge. The workers were retrenched in 2006, but Telkom was found to have acted discriminatorily by the High Court.

BRIEFLY

Auditor-General given 6 months to audit Central Bank BY NATION CORRESPONDENT Parliament has ordered AuditorGeneral Edward Ouko to audit Central Bank’s accounts for the ﬁnancial year 2010/2011 in line with a Constitutional requirement. The Public Investments Committee (PIC) said that over the period, CBK’s accounts have been audited by a private auditor. “The committee observed that he auditor-general had not audited the accounts of the Central Bank of Kenya in spite of the provisions of Article

229 of the Constitution,” said the committee. The Constitution demands that all public institutions be audited by the auditor-general. Mr Ouko has been given six months from March to deliver the audit report to the MPs.

Private auditors

The auditor-general is, however, allowed to hire private auditors to interrogate a public institution’s ﬁnances under his supervision. “The accounts of CBK from 2001/ 2002 to 2011/12 were audited by a pri-

vate auditor, who was not appointed by the auditor-general and instead appointed by the bank,” said PIC In 2013, the committee also threw out PWC’s audit of CBK’s accounts for the financial years 2010/2011

2010/11 Financial year when CBK hired private auditors contrary to requirement that public entities be audited by the auditor-general

and 2011/12 and ordered the Kenya National Audit Oﬃce to conduct the audits afresh. The Aden Keynan-led committee has recommended that the Central Bank Act be reviewed to be in line with the Constitution as regards auditing of books of accounts. Article 229 of the Constitution mandates that accounts of all state corporations be audited by the auditor-general. According to the committee, National Bank of Kenya, Kenya Petroleum Reﬁneries Ltd and Telkom Kenya Ltd were also not being audited as required.

ICT

Intel pumps Sh13m in local app developers Intel has invested Sh13 million in three top Kenyan applications in a plan that will see the developers upgrade their services. The applications were selected from 14 apps in Kenya that took part in Intel App Elite challenge. According to Ms Agatha Gikunda, Software Services Group Lead, Intel East Africa, home grown applications lead to better customer service because they address the gaps in the local environment that is experienced by the users.

Telkom’s ﬁbre optic contract could end ICT ministry says it might terminate the Sh250m deal even as the telco notes that the agreement is up for renewal next year

BY LILIAN OCHIENG’ @LilianMerab laochieng@ke.nationmedia.com

elkom Kenya’s contract to manage the State-owned inland fibre optic network hangs in the balance after an audit noted that the project was mismanaged and could not sustain itself. In a statement, the ICT ministry said that it might terminate the Sh250 million annual contract and scout for new managers. Telkom Kenya was given the right to run the National Optic Fibre Backbone Infrastructure (Nofbi) for the government and sell capacity to telcos such as Safaricom, AccessKenya, Jamii Telecoms and Wananchi Group in 2011. However, Telkom Kenya chief executive officer Vincent Lobry yesterday told Nation that, “the contract is up for renewal in March 2016.” Auditor-General Edward Ouko noted that the project had not attracted sufficient revenues to sustain itself since the completion of Phase

1 because of mismanagement. By last year, over Sh12.5 billion had been used to finance the project. “The ministry has not been able to improve universal access to information, Nofbi has provided reasonable dark and lit fibre charges to internet service providers, but the benefits are yet to be transferred to end users,” said the auditor-general’s report. Further, the Mr Ouko called for a dedicated office to manage the fibre project. The ICT ministry responded by saying it would consider terminating its contract with Telkom Kenya or review it to make it robust. In April 2014, the government declared its intention to terminate the contract but refused to divulge the reasons. Telkom Kenya said it has honoured the agreement. “We have always maintained all our service level agreements, in line with the Nofbi operations and maintenance contract we have with the government,” Mr Lobry said.

Mismanagement

Industry players familiar with the matter said the move was prompted by news that France Telecom, which owns 70 per cent of the ﬁrm, intended to pull out of Kenya and other African countries — raising the spectre of Telkom Kenya transferring rights of managing the cable to a third party. This year, Mr Ouko revealed that taxpayers paid Sh2 billion as advance fees to contractors, management fee, commitment cost, operations and maintenance to Telkom Kenya for Nofbi. Despite the billions spent on the project, the cost of internet in Kenya remained higher than the UN target for developing countries.

Ministry considers tax ‘rebates’ for importers of fuel-efficient cars BY NATION REPORTER The Energy ministry is set to open talks with the Treasury over introduction of tax incentives meant to encourage importation of fuel-efficient vehicles. The plan follows the release of the Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) report, which shows that fuel consumption by light duty vehicles in Kenya is above the world’s average. GFEI is a partnership of five organisations, among them the International Energy Agency and the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep). The deal seeks to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions through use of fuel-efficient vehicles. “A cost benefit analysis is recommended for simultaneous implementation of several vehicle options. The prominent ones include a fiscal policy that encourages buyers

to prefer more eﬃcient lower emission vehicles,” said Energy and Petroleum principal secretary Joseph Njoroge. The GFEI study has been carried out in Kenya, Chile, Indonesia and Ethiopia. Locally it was conducted between 2010 and 2012 where it established that 99 per cent of all light duty vehicles registered by Kenya Revenue Authority were classiﬁed as used.

Fuel consumption

In 2012, KRA’s cumulative vehicle registration was 2.02 million with vehicle numbers estimated to be increasing at the rate of 12 per cent annually, according to the report. Rates above 10 per cent are considered high and out of sync with the rate of development of infrastructure such as roads, notes Unep. In determining fuel-eﬃcient vehicles, the government will consider the global fuel consumption average of 13.9

kilometres per litre. Currently, Kenya’s mean consumption for light vehicles, which constitute about 53 per cent of the total registered vehicles, is estimated to be 13.3 kilometres per litre. Unep predicts that this could deteriorate with the annual growth in vehicle numbers putting pressure on the existing infrastructure. It is envisioned that introduction of tax rebates for importers of ‘clean’ vehicles will result in economic gains by reducing the amount of foreign currency used in purchase of vehicles and petroleum products, thereby improving the country’s balance of payments. According to the Economic Survey 2014 by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, the value of petroleum products imported in 2013 reduced marginally to Sh315 billion from Sh326 billion in the previous year.

CEO named for global cement titan GENEVA, Thursday The boards of France’s Lafarge and Switzerland’s Holcim have approved Eric Olsen for the role of chief executive officer once the firms merge, creating the world’s biggest cement company, they announced on Thursday. The 51-year-old French-American national, who is currently executive vice-president for operations at Lafarge, “is the perfect person to lead the company in the future,” Holcim chairman Wolfgang Reitzle told reporters. Last year the two companies announced plans to create a cement titan employing over 130,000 people, which would generate annual sales of 32 billion euros ($34 billion) and underlying profits of 6.5 billion euros — a major event in the global construction industry. The merger still must be approved by two-thirds of shareholders at each of the two companies’ special general assemblies. (AFP)

Human resource networking

Just as job-seekers should network more within relevant circles to widen their chances of success, so should human resource personnel. They should be in regular touch with, and abreast of, their peers and other professionals in the field. Soon they may want to recruit — or be recruited by — these professionals. There shouldn’t be big gaps in the knowledge and skills possessed.

Harmony in diversity

Do you want to develop a working environment that draws on people’s diversity, yet avoids potential conflicts? Pay more attention to similarities between people of diverse backgrounds, and try to limit the differences.

Tame the urge to spend

On getting a pay rise, the temptation to step up your lifestyle is often overbearing. But good reason should prevail. Avoid unnecessary changes to your living standards. There’s no point of a pay rise if you channel it all to new expenditure. A pay rise should enable you to save more for a rainy day.

Be graceful as you leave the company

Internships are available in the following departments:

Deadline for applications: April 17th 2015 What happens if you suddenly dislike your job? If your employer or supervisor is unreasonable, and if the pay is so poor you shy away from discussing it with anybody? You hunt for a new job, right? Right. Then, alas! you land yourself a good deal. You decide that since your boss never cared about you anyway, you will not notify her of your intentions to move out. You slither away secretly to your new job. Before long, you are promoted. You are to head a department that requires you to handle a new client, “and a very useful one, too.” A meeting is set up, and who turns up? Your former boss. She, too, has been promoted to a key decision making position. Her word concerning the deal that your new employer wants is crucial. How does that feel? Hence the importance of writing a professional resignation letter when you leave employment. However badly you have been treated, do not antagonise anybody in the letter. Don’t burn your bridges. You never know when you may want to cross back, need a reference from your former employer, or a new working relationship similar to the case illustrated above. Always write a resignation letter, and be very diplomatic — even as you point out the reasons for your departure.

Searching with a purpose

Are you constantly struggling to fit into listed requirements of recruiting firms, or does your job search involve targeting companies that march your career

VACANCIES The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) is an independent commission set up under Article 215 of the Constitution of Kenya. Its core mandate is to recommend the basis for equitable sharing of revenues raised nationally between the National and County Governments; sharing of revenue among the County Governments and make recommendations on other matters concerning the ﬁnancing of and ﬁnancial management by County Governments. The Commission seeks to recruit the following positions: 1. Manager, Natural Resources Management 2. Assistant, Natural Resources Management 3. Procurement Assistant 4. Executive Assistant For more details on the positions, requirements and application procedures and guidelines please visit our website at: http://www.crakenya.org/ goals and values? The latter, career advisers say, should be your approach. You don’t want to land a job you will wish you never took after only a year or less.

Avoid oversleeping

That you have not found a job to wake up to does not mean you should be getting out of bed at 10am. Surprise opportunities do arise occasionally, and you don’t want to be caught half-asleep when someone calls at 9am to discuss an employment possibility.

The stress of job hunting

Are you stressed out by the many “regret” letters you have been receiving from potential recruiting companies? If so, find a way of keeping the stress levels down. Otherwise, pessimism will set in and, before long, you will be giving up altogether. Get busy doing something to divert your attention from the “regrets”. You could get one of those “do it yourself” books and construct something. Volunteer to work somewhere. In fact, this could boost your CV. It will show that you’ve not just squandered your “free” time, but have engaged in something useful. That’s a plus. Socialise. Attend sporting events whenever you can, and go out with friends. Avoid siting around and mourning over your fate.

Seek career advice

A career is a long-term commitment. You don’t want to goof when selecting one. If you are having difficulties in making up your mind, don’t start guessing. Ask for help. You will find it from professional career advisers, friends and family members. Take your time, though. Remember that advice is only a guide. The final decision is your own. So listen, too, to the inner voice.

Avoid assumptions

Don’t take anything for granted once you enter the premises of the company in which you are to be interviewed — not even a seemingly innocent chat with the receptionist. Adopt the attitude: “anything you say or do can be used for or against you in decision making”. Some employers begin assessing you from the moment you set foot across the door. Never assume that the interviewing process is confined to the board room.

WORLD RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS | World 800m record holder Rudisha opts out

Speedsters line up in ﬁnal race for Nassau spots Athletics Kenya will pick national team for world event at Kasarani today BY AYUMBA AYODI

@ayumbayodi sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com

reathtaking moments beckon when Kenya hosts their National Relays finals at the Safaricom Stadium, Kasarani this evening. Athletics Kenya will use the event to select the national team for the World Relay Championships slated for May 1 and 2 in Nassau, Bahamas. Olympics champion and world 800m record holder David Rudisha has requested to be exempted from the World Relay Championships when the national team is named today. Africa champions Botswana, Nigeria and South Africa will field teams in men’s 4x400m events as they battle the finest of Kenyan teams selected during the series. The women’s 4x400m will also be a thriller with Nigeria, who are the Africa champions, fielding a team against Kenyan squads. The main focus will likely be on men’s 4x400m that will wrap up the evening at 7pm where Africa 400m champion Isaac Makwala from Botswana will headline the field. Makwala, who has personal best of 44.01 set at La Chaux-de-Fonds,

SHOCK RESULT

Kilifi upset football champs Mombasa Kilifi County boys football team yesterday caused the first major upset in the Coast Regional Primary Schools ball games when they beat title holders Mombasa 3-0 during a Pool A match at Voi Stadium. The game started at a cracking pace with Mombasa, who beat Tana River 3-2 the previous day, dictating terms but as the game progressed, Kilifi started to have confidence and deservedly took the lead on 25 minutes when Said Hamisi found the back of the net. They increased the lead 10 minutes after the braek through Nickson Baya and made sure of victory five minutes later through Ngumbao Kitsao.

France in July last year, won the Africa title in a Championship Record time of 44.23. Makwala will team up with his continental winning quartet of the Commonwealth Games and Africa 800m champion Nijel Amos, Pako Seribe and Leaname Maotoanong. South Africa were expected to name their teams yesterday. Kenya “A” still has quality in their midst together with experience from the 2013 World Championships with the likes of Alfas Kishoyan and Boniface Mweresa, who will team up with 2013 World Youth 400m bronze medallist Alex Sampao and Michael Makan. “I am determined to make it to Nassau and help Kenya in their bid to qualify for the World Championships,” said Kishoyan.

Hamilton dismisses Ferrari

Michael Vaughan has indicated he would be interested in taking on the newly created post of direct of England cricket, provided he could have a signiﬁcant inﬂuence.

The most hotly anticipated Masters in years got underway early yesterday morning under the towering Georgia pines of Augusta National with a host of gripping potential story lines. First and foremost was the return to competitive play of four-time winner Tiger Woods (right) after a two-month timeout to try and get his game back together. So far in the buildup this week, the signs were all positive for him. Mentally and physically he looked a diﬀerent man.

World champion Lewis Hamilton yesterday promised that Mercedes would strike back at this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix after being ambushed by Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel in Malaysia. Vettel’s stunning victory in the heat of Sepang has raised hopes of a genuine battle for the Formula One championship after Hamilton and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg won 16 of 19 races last year.

NOTEBOOK COURSE WATCH

Slow greens favourable to foreigners: Kasuku

TAKING ON THE BIG BOYS | Kenyan amateur Nandwa keeps pace with the top professionals

Portugal’s Lima grabs overnight

Veteran golfer Elisha Kasuku, who once played at the 2005 British Open Seniors, has predicted a cut oﬀ of plus one today after the second round. Kasuku said the score will be brought about by the slowness of the greens occasioned by the rains that pounded the course the night before yesterday’s tee-oﬀ. The previous Kenya Open events at Karen have been held under dry conditions with hard and fast running greens. “The greens have been slow with golfers forced to put much weight on their putts,” said Kasuku. “The situation could be tricky for most of the locals but the visiting players are used to such conditions.”

Club house leader ﬁres ﬂuent eight under par 64 to take two-shot advantage over closest rival German’s Heisele

SHOWING SOLIDARITY

Players honour Garissa victims with ribbons Players at the ongoing Kenya Open donned black ribbons on their playing caps as a sign of unity in mourning the 148 people killed by Al Shabaab terrorists a week ago at Garissa University. Tournament director Patrick Obath said the huge turnout by players from Europe including six winners of Challenge Tour events last year was a clear indication of their solidarity with Kenya. Among the players are the 1999 Kenya Open champion Maatern Lafeber from the Netherlands. “The ﬁeld also has 12 players from the main tour hence a clear indication of the increasing growth of Kenya Open,” said Obath.

WAITING IN TURN

Could Sigona Club be next host for Open? Is Sigona Golf Club the next host of Barclays Kenya Open? That is the question as Karen Country Club hosted its third consecutive event this year, and perhaps its last. Muthaiga Golf Club hosted the event last in 2012. Kenya now has three courses that qualify to host Kenya open with Sigona Golf Club the latest after Muthaiga Golf Club and Karen Country Club. It will be the ﬁrst time Sigona will be hosting Kenya Open if the club is picked. “Sigona have worked on their course, spending a lot on it in the past years. They have brought in equipment that have upgraded the course to international standards,” said Obath.

TRICKLING TURNOUT

700 line up neat Karen course to catch action An estimated 700 people turned out during the ﬁrst round of Kenya Open yesterday. This could be due to Thursday being a working day. A surge in attendance is expected over the weekend. Amongst them is President Uhuru Kenyatta who is expected on the ﬁnal day on Sunday to watch the biggest golf tourney in the region. “We are not taking anything for granted in terms of security as we have liaised with the government to ensure everything is in order,” said tournament director Patrick Obath.

KENYA OPEN

BY LARRY NGALA

@LarryNgala lngala@ke.nationmedia.com ortugal’s Jose-Filipe Lima produced a brilliant eight under par 64 to claim the leadership on day one of this year’s Barclays Kenya Open at the par 72 Karen Country Club course yesterday. And what a day it was for the Portugese player, who, after rolling in two birdie putts at the front nine, picked up steam at the back nine where he birdied the 11th, 12th, and 13th, holed two pars thereafter. He then resumed his birdie hunt and picked two more at the 16th and 18th to carry a two shots lead from Germany’s Sebastian Heisele, who had earlier shot six under par 66 to lead the morning lot. But besides Lima’s leading scores, and three with six under 68 including Spain’s Emilio Blanco and South African Haydn Porteous, majority of those coming from the afternoon round were on three under par 69. These lot included Kenya’s Dismas Indiza. However, back at the top, Heisele had birdied the second, third and seventh and 14th, 15th, and at the 18th with only bogeys at the 16th for his impressive 66 which was a shot better than Oscar Stark of Sweden, Holland’s Daan Huizing who both shot five under par 67. They were later joined by two South Africans Brandon Stone and Haydn Porteous. Kenya’s top professional Dismas Indiza dropped two shots both at the back nine’s 14th and 17th where he three putted. “I was a bit careful as I thought the greens were quicker, but I was wrong. All the same, it is not a bad start, and hope to try and get more birdies tomorrow. His compatriot Greg Snow dropped shots in the last six holes to finish on two over par 74 which he said was not a bad start. “I know I have to shoot under par tomorrow and why not,’’ said Snow who shared that score with David Wakhu while Boniface Simwa was on level par 72 and Anil Shah, who at one time was on three under, finally closed the day one under par 71, just a shot behind Alfred Nandwa who fired two under par 70 to lead the amateurs. Nandwa, one of the national team players preparing for the Africa Zone Six Championship in Uganda next week, picked up four birdies at the front nine’s first, third, fifth and seventh.

NOT IN MY HOUSE! | Facebook outburst earns Ainley the boot

lead, Indiza in touching range Kenyan pro Ainley kicked out of Open by organizers for breaking rules on the use of social media

“Us few PLAYERS that have cars have to make a good long trek yet it’s not matter if your late. Shindwe! I’m taking it low out of anger.” An hour later, Ainley would post: “Because of my Facebook post I’ve been refused to play as my invitation has been withdrawn. To those I may have oﬀended I’m sorry. To all you other Kenyans play well!” Tournament director Patrick Obath said Ainley was in serious breach of PGA European Tour Rules section C but said they would go slow and not punish Ainley further. “We have only barred him from this year’s Kenya Open,” said Obath. Such breach of rules attract ﬁnes up to £15,000 (Sh2m). Obath said he didn’t expect an experienced player of Ainley’s calibre to embarrass the country and himself when he knew the channels to follow. “When players register with PGK, they are given tickets and passes for themselves and their guests,” said Obath. “The security personnel at the gate follow instructions and Ainley should have had his car pass to get through and he knows that.” Ainley defended himself saying he has previously asked for a pass to park his car inside the club but in vain. “I have done that before without success. “We can’t park far away I carry my playing equipment all the way,’ said Ainley. “We need equal treatment when it comes to Kenya Open,” said Ainley.

olf has since its inception in Scotland in the 15th century earned the reputation as a gentleman’s game. The sport is guided by a religiously followed etiquette not only by club members but players throughout major tournaments across the world. Anybody going against the rules suffers heavy penalties including ﬁnes, expulsion or ban from clubs or international events. Well, Kenya’s professional player, Richard Ainley, who once played alongside some of the world’s crème de la crème players like Vijay Singh, will live to remember this year’s Barclays Kenya Open. But not for good reasons. Kenya Open Golf Limited was forced to kick out Ainley after he breached the PGA Challenge Tour Rules after posting derogatory words on his Facebook wall.

Accreditation conﬁscated

Ainley, who has played at Kenya Open for many years, was due to tee off 10th tee at 8.50am but was barred and his accreditation confiscated at around 7.30am. Ainley’s woes started when he was barred by the security personal from packing his car inside the Karen Country Club since he didn’t have the official car pass given to Professional Golfers of Kenya. Ainley is said to have had an altercation with Club captain Owino Ayodo concerning the incident. Ainley didn’t take it lightly and went to update his Facebook page on his frustrations. “I see colonization had not ended. Only Kenya’s elite and mzungus allowed to park at the Kenya Open Karen country Club.

Roos miles ahead after Kenya success

Nairobi Just 12 months on from lifting the iconic rhino trophy awarded to the winner of the Barclays Kenya Open, Jake Roos is now plying his trade on The European Tour in 2015, thanks to his career-altering success at Karen Country Club last year. The South African had won six times on his native Sunshine Tour to that point, but his Nairobi triumph proved pivotal in earning him full playing rights on the European Challenge Tour for the rest of the season. From there the Pretoria man continued that ﬁne form throughout his ﬁrst full term, claiming a second victory of the campaign at the Aegean Airlines Challenge Tour by Hartl Resort, en route to 13th on the Rankings and graduation to The European Tour.

Fantastic achievement

It was a fantastic achievement for Roos, and one that he was quick to credit – in part – to his narrow one stroke triumph over Frenchman Adrien Bernadet, Lasse Jensen of Denmark and Spain’s Pedro Oriol at the end of a tense ﬁnal round in Nairobi a year ago. “My win in Kenya last year was a major step forward in my career and a perfect start to the season,” said the 34 year old. “I had won several times on the Sunshine Tour to that point, but to be given the chance to compete around the world on the Challenge Tour as a result of this victory was one that I was keen to grab with both hands.

KENYAN PREMIER LEAGUE | Kagere tipped for K’Ogalo’s pointman’s role

Gor plotting AFC assault K’Ogalo coach says his men are ready to take on Leopards in Sunday’s ‘Mashemeji’ derby

is a man who is not only familiar with the ﬁxture but also knows Gor Mahia like the back of his hand. Logarusic, who is the man in charge of Leopards’ bench, led Gor Mahia to a runners up place during the 2012 season of the Kenyan Premier League before quitting midstream the following season even as Gor went on to clinch the title under Scottish coach Bobby Williamson.

BY ISAAC SWILA

@IsaacSwila iswila@ke.nationmedia.com

or Mahia coach Frank Nuttall is relishing the prospects of guiding his team against AFC Leopards on Sunday at the Nyayo National Stadium in what will be his first ‘Mashemeji’ derby. The fixture will see the high-riding Gor Mahia, who are currently perched on top of the KPL log, renewing hostilities with their bitter rivals and Nuttall has termed the fixture as ‘special’. The soft-spoken Scottish tactician led Gor Mahia to a record extending 14th league title last season although at the time of his arrival at the club there were only a handful of matches remaining to the end of the campaign with the second leg of the derby having been long played. “It’s going to be a special day of football for both players and fans, because all of them have been looking forward to the match. I’m also looking towards it,” Nuttall said. “But let’s not forget that it’s just another league match with three points at stake. The points are what both teams will be fighting for.” The last time the two Kenyan giants went head-to-head was on July 27 last year at the same venue with the match ending in a 2-2 draw although Leopards claimed the season’s bragging rights for their 3-1 drubbing of Gor Mahia in the first leg encounter. And while Nuttall will be tasting the derby experience for the first time, his opposite number Zdravko Logarusic

It’s going to be a special day of football for both players and fans, because all of them have been looking forward to the match” Frank Nuttall, Gor Mahia coach

2-2 The outcome of the last league derby between AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia in July 2014 at Nyayo Stadium “I’ve been involved in derbies before and this will not be any diﬀerent. In Kenya it will be my ﬁrst derby but I’m ready for it. The players are also ready for the match,” Nuttall said adding that they will do a post-mortem of Wednesday night’s 3-1 win over KCB at Nyayo Stadium before laying strategy for the match against Ingwe.

Signing of the season

MARTIN MUKANGU | NATION

Rwanda international Kagere Meddie of Gor Mahia during past Kenyan Premier League match against Chemelil Sugar at the Nyayo National Stadium.

Against Leopards, Nuttall will certainly deploy Rwanda international Kagere Meddie as his pointman upfront. Gifted with an explosive pace and brilliance, Meddie is fast proving to be Gor Mahia’s signing of the season. During Wednesday night’s match against KCB, Meddie was in his destructive element bagging a brace to cap a brilliant performance. His second goal was a beauty that was turned in with great panache. Picking a pin point delivery from the lanky Michael Olunga – the towering centre forward, whose style of play has an uncanny resemblance to that of former Arsenal and Nigerian great Nwankwo Kanu – Meddie, in a split second weaved his way past his markers before ﬁnishing the move with a well-taken shot that beat KCB goalkeeper Zachary Onyango all the way.

Extra security measures in place for city derby BY CELLESTINE OLILO colilo@ke.nationmedia.com

The Nairobi police division has stepped up security measures for this weekend’s city derby featuring AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia. There will be a special unit to handle frisking at the Nyayo National Stadium entry points, dogs trained to sniﬀ out explosives and 300 administration police inside and around the match venue. Oﬃcers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) have also been incorporated in the elaborate security plan aimed at ensuring maximum security for the fans especially following last week’s terrorist attack in Garissa that left 148 people dead and several others injured. This new security plan will cost host

team AFC Leopards a little over Shs100, 000 and the club Organizing Secretary Timothy Lilumbi told the Daily Nation Sport that the club has agreed to “go the extra mile” due to the prevailing security threat facing the country. “We have held lengthy meetings through the week and we have drawn up an elaborate security plan to help diﬀuse any danger, real or imagined, posed to the fans and players,” Lilumbi said.

Special police unit

“Unlike last year, we have decided to call in a special police unit whose work will be to handle frisking at the gates and we have agreed to bankroll the additional expense involved due to the current situation,” he added. Matches featuring the two teams are infamous for violence and crowd trouble

with a few fatal incidents reported in the recent years. In this regard, the Kenyan Premier League has said that there will be heavy repercussions for the club that instigates any form of violence before, during or after the match. “Both clubs have agreed to keep their fans in check so that the game is not overshadowed by off-pitch negativity. The club that fails to meet these expectations will be sanctioned,” said KPL CEO Jack Oguda. Tickets will go on sale on Sunday with VIP tickets retailing at Sh600 and terraces at Sh200. Tomorrow, officials from the two clubs together with those from KPL will hold a security meeting chaired by the Langata Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) and the county’s CID head at the match venue at 11am to finalize the security arrangements.

Bandari bow to fan pressure, return home ties to Mombasa BY PHILIP ONYANGO

ponyango@ke.nationmedia.com Kenyan Premier League side Bandari have ﬁnally yielded to their fans demand and will now play their home matches at the Mombasa Municipal Stadium beginning tomorrow. Team Technical Director Edward Oduor (lef t) yesterday said their match against Sony Sugar will be at the Mombasa Municipal Stadium and not the Mbaraki Sports Club that they have used as their home ground in previous matches.

This will come as good news to the fans who have been demanding that the dockers abandon their Mbaraki backyard for the Municipal stadium where they reckon the team has been winning many of their matches.

Unhappy fans

The fans were not particularly happy that their beloved club was beaten 2-0 by Ulinzi Warriors last weekend at Mbaraki after a good run that at one time saw the team lie at the top of the table standing after beating City Stars by a solitary goal in Nairobi.

FOOTBALL | Injured Gunners players recover

Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere

Wenger has no need to let Wilshere go Arsenal boss also warns his players that no one is assured of position as they prepare for Burnley London

rsenal manager Arsene Wenger has told Manchester City his club no longer need to sell the likes of Jack Wilshere while warning no player can be assured of first-team action at the north London giants. Reports in the British press have linked England midfielder Wilshere with a move to faltering champions City after the end of the current Premier League season. But Wenger is not in a mood to entertain offers for the 23-year-old, who has been at Arsenal since the age of nine, or indeed anyone else. Instead the second-placed Gunners, who were hampered financially by the cost of the club’s move from their former Highbury home to the Emirates Stadium, aim to rid themselves of a reputation for selling key players, such as now Manchester United

Age of Arsenal midﬁelder Jack Wilshere who is coming back from injury

“We want the team to return to the Mombasa Municipal Stadium where we believe they have enough fan base and luck which has seen them win most of their league matches. Mbaraki Sports ground might be their training ground but has not been a very good harvesting ground for them,” club fan Hamid Said said. But Oduor downplayed the issue of luck eluding the team at Mbaraki Sports Club saying their return to the Mombasa Municipal Stadium had been necessitated by the increase in the number of fans whom he said would be comfortably hosted at the stadium.

Chelsea make offer for Japan striker Muto English Premier League leaders Chelsea have made a formal offer for Japan striker Yoshinori Muto, his club FC Tokyo said yesterday. Japanese media reported the offer was worth $5.9 million. “It is true that we have received an official offer from Chelsea for Muto,” said a spokesman for the J-league club. “But nothing has been decided,” the spokesman told AFP, declining to comment further on details, including the amount of money offered. However, Sports Nippon said Chelsea offered about four million pounds ($5.9 million), which would be a J-League record from an overseas club.

Deportivo la Coruna sack coach Fernandez La Liga strugglers Deportivo la Coruna have sacked coach Victor Fernandez after they could only manage a 1-1 draw with bottom side Cordoba on Wednesday. “The board of Deportivo la Coruna have communicated to Victor Fernandez that as of this evening he is no longer the coach of the ﬁrst team,” Deportivo said in a statement. “I have tried with all that I have. I want to thank everyone, fundamentally the players that have been a great asset and an extraordinary board,” added Fernandez. Deportivo lie just two points above the relegation zone and haven’t won in eight games.

MADRID

Real Madrid appeal Ronaldo suspension Real Madrid have appealed the yellow card shown to Cristiano Ronaldo for diving during Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. The Portuguese received his ﬁfth booking of the campaign, which would see him miss Saturday’s visit of Eibar to the Santiago Bernabeu, despite appearing to be clearly brought down by Antonio Amaya whilst the score was still level at 0-0. “Real Madrid will appeal the yellow card shown to Cristiano Ronaldo in the game against Rayo yesterday in Vallecas,” the club said in a statement on Thursday. Real boss Carlo Ancelotti remonstrated with the oﬃcials after the match.

Ibrahimovic faces long ban for anti-France rant A day after scoring a brilliant hat-trick, Paris Saint-Germain’s tempestuous striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was due to ﬁnd out late yesterday his punishment for comments attacking France and its referees. The 33-year-old Swedish star faces up to ﬁve matches on the Ligue 1 sidelines for a widely televised rant in which he said France did not deserve a team like the star-studded Paris Saint-Germain because of the way it is treated.

striker Robin van Persie. “We are not in a position any more where we have to sell our best players,” Wenger said yesterday. “We cannot make a case of any headline in any newspaper in a press conference from things that are not true,” the veteran French manager added. Wilshere, long troubled by ankle problems, has recovered from a latest bout of surgery and could make his ﬁrst appearance since the end of November away to relegation candidates Burnley tomorrow. “Everybody can have a big impact until the end of the season, Jack included,” Wenger said. “Every player who doesn’t play is very frustrated when he can not perform — (Abou) Diaby has been out for a year, (Theo) Walcott has been out for a year. “Wilshere has played many games this year, he was out, but not for as long as Walcott or Diaby.” Talented playmaker Wilshere appeared in an Arsenal under-21s match against Stoke earlier this week, together with captain Mikel Arteta and midﬁelder Diaby, who are both on the way back from injuries. Another encouraging sign for Arsenal is the return of full-back Mathieu Debuchy from shoulder surgery. “We are all in a fantastic position, but our job is competing,” Wenger said. “You cannot say that you have to accept to compete, if you cannot compete then you have nothing to do in this job.” (AFP)

case at 1600 GMT could impose a four match ban on Ibrahimovic and activate a suspended one match ban imposed in January. Ibrahimovic will already be missing for the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Barcelona next week after his sending off against Chelsea in the last 16.

Tarnished stellar week

The hearing has tarnished another stellar week for the Swede whose hat-trick in a 4-1 French Cup semi-ﬁnal win over Saint Etienne took him to 102 goals for Paris Saint-Germain in less than three

seasons. He is now only seven goals behind the club record 107 by Portuguese star Pauleta. But the Swede’s stormy personality keeps getting him in trouble. He was banned for two matches in February for a foul on Saint-Etienne’s Romain Hamouma which was not immediately seen by the referee but was caught on video. Another match ban was suspended. Ibrahimovic has since been banned by UEFA for his sending oﬀ against Chelsea. And televised images were again his downfall against Bordeaux in March. (AFP)

Algerian press yesterday slammed their football federation and Confederation of African Football (Caf) president Issa Hayatou after Gabon was chosen to host the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. The 2012 co-hosts won Wednesday’s Caf vote held in Cairo against opposition from Algeria and 2008 hosts Ghana. “To obtain the organisation of a competition as prestigious as the CAN is a State aﬀair and the Algerian presentation was not suﬃciently supported at political levels,” daily El Watan wrote. Other papers accused Hayatou, who has been in power since 1988, of “betraying” and “stabbing” Algeria.

ABSENTEEISM | Sh4bn education cash lost in scandals

40,000 teachers skip classes Contract tutors tend to be very eﬀective where community involvement is greater, survey shows

report states that the proportion of children in Kenya reaching the end of primary school increased from 42 per cent in 2000 to 62 per cent in 2007. At the same time, learning outcomes for children from both poor and rich households improved. “This may have been facilitated by programmes helping teachers adopt eﬀective pedagogic approaches that ran from 2001 to 2006 for 41,000 primary school teachers,” says the report.

bout 20 per cent of teachers in Kenyan public primary schools do not teach at any given time when they are required to do so. The Global Monitoring Report — Education for All 2000-2015 report indicates that more than 40,000 of the 200,000 primary school teachers abscond classes. The report reveals that some teachers do not understand the curricula due to lack of support from the government and other training institutions. The document, which was released yesterday, shows that teacher absenteeism was aﬀecting the quality of education as it was reducing the number of hours children were being taught. The report is based on an independent survey commissioned by Unesco on behalf of the international community. It involved agencies and governments. The report states that contract teachers tend to be very eﬀective where parental or community in-

It says the positive eﬀects of hiring contract teachers were observed only in communities where parents were trained to monitor staﬀ absenteeism. They were also noted when relatives of local civil service teachers were not hired as contract teachers.

Foundational reading

The report indicates that Kenya, lost Sh4 billion, which was meant to fund education, due to corruption. “While Kenya has made education

free, there is some indication of corruption regarding capitation grants,” says the report. The document comes in the wake of another report that was released late last year that also indicated that 13 per cent of teachers in the country were not reporting for duty. The Kenya Economic Report 2014 had also shown that many teachers struggle to teach core foundational reading and mathematical skills in schools. The Education for All 2000-2015

It attributes the increase to three key resource teachers from every school who were trained to lead professional development in their subject. Head teachers had received materials to support the key resource teachers in providing training. “Follow-up evaluations indicated positive changes in classroom interactions. Lesson observations in grades 3 and 6 showed that 34 per cent of teachers in 2005 used paired and group work, compared to 3 per cent in 1999. “Also, a greater range of arrangements was used to alter classroom layouts to meet the requirements of various kinds of learning tasks,” adds the report.

Muhammadu Buhari Cleaner, meaner, wiser The new Nigerian president publicly executed young drug dealers on the beach, jailed journalists and expelled thousands of immigrants during his ﬁrst rule, which lasted only 20 months and ended, as it had begun, in a coup. But that is in the past, he says. He is now a sworn democrat. Or is he?

he 72-year-old former general elected as Nigeria’s new president last week is not exactly new to the democratic process: He spent much of the past decade campaigning for the office in three successive elections — and failing each time. But then, as detractors insist and many supporters acknowledge, the former general, Muhammadu Buhari, had a long way to go to prove that he had left the military barracks behind. He first came to power in a coup over 30 years ago and became one of his country’s harshest military rulers, waging a “war against indiscipline” that prescribed humiliating punishment for tardy civil servants. He publicly executed young drug dealers on the beach, jailed journalists and expelled thousands of immigrants. He arrested 475 politicians and businessmen on corruption charges, trying them in military tribunals and jailing many for life. His rule lasted 20 months and ended in another coup. That was Buhari’s past. His supporters insist that it does not reflect the present, and so does the general. He is now a sworn democrat, they say. Yet, for many voters, it was precisely the ramrod-straight former officer’s tough history that was one of his biggest electoral draws, in a country

1984-85

Period of Muhammadu Buhari’s first rule of Nigeria, which started and ended with military coups. Writer and Nigerian Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka has been one of Buhari’s most relentless critics in a series of writings over the years. Soyinka has detailed the general’s jailings of journalists and musicians, and in his memoirs called the public executions of the former general’s rule “a deliberate effort to strike terror in the heart of the nation”. Yet, despite all that bile, Soyinka told a newspaper before the elections that he would vote for Buhari. swamped by the twin scourges of Islamist insurgency and corruption. Buhari, voters suggested over and over, was a man who could deal with both. His image of personal austerity — a sandal-wearing ascetic, he is one of the very few Nigerian leaders who did not emerge from office immensely wealthy — added to his appeal. Even some who had big reservations about Buhari swallowed them as they contemplated a country that appeared to be coming off the rails under President Goodluck Jonathan. During Jonathan’s tenure, the corruption scandals of government ministers were quietly ignored. Parliamentary reports detailing these scandals were hushed up. High civil servants who exposed them were fired. And above all, Boko Haram, the radical Islamist group that has killed thousands of civilians, stormed unchecked across the north until very recently when outside forces

Colourful past Buhari was born on December 17, 1942, in the country’s far north, the son of a village chief. He attended officer cadet school in England in the early 1960s, according to historian Max Siollun, and took active parts in the military coups of 1966 and 1975, later serving in the successive military governments of the late 1970s, including as minister of petroleum. In 1983, troops under his command cleared rebels from Chad from Nigeria’s border, and he then refused civilian orders from Lagos to retreat into his own country. A New Year’s Eve coup against the elected president, Shehu Shagari, then brought him to power. Of all the peremptory episodes that marked his rule, perhaps the best remembered is the bizarre and unsuccessful kidnapping plot targeting a corrupt former minister who had fled to London, Umaru Dikko. It involved Israeli secret agents, a giant packing crate into which Dikko was stuffed, and anesthetic drugs. The episode put a severe strain on relations between Nigeria and its former colonial master, Britain, for years. “On the one hand, he was respected for bringing discipline into the community’s life,” said Toyin Falola, a historian of Nigeria at the University of Texas. “People were reporting for work at the right time. That was a remarkable achievement for that time. On the other hand, he was resented for being authoritarian. And he was anti-corruption. One of the reasons people voted for him this time is that, maybe, he will reduce the scale of the corruption.”

— mercenaries and the troops of neighbouring countries — were called in. Writer and Nigerian Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka has been one of Buhari’s most relentless critics in a series of writings over the years. Soyinka has detailed the general’s jailings of journalists and musicians, and in his memoirs called the public executions of the former general’s rule “a deliberate eﬀort to strike terror in the heart of the nation”. He accused Buhari of having “brutalised” Nigerians, and said that the general had established a “norm of despotism” in the country by passing a “decree that forbade any discussion

of a return to democratic rule”. Yet Soyinka all but acknowledged in a recent interview with The Guardian newspaper that he would vote for Buhari. Buhari, questioned on the campaign trail in an interview with The New York Times about aspects of his past, seemed impatient with the notion. He insisted that both he and the times had changed. And he immediately launched into a rapid-fire discussion of the country’s current troubles, about which he was unsparing. He offered the voters less of a detailed platform for his presidency than an explicit promise to clean up the mess left by the man he handily defeated. And that bluntness is also characteristic of Buhari, say those who know him. In the northern cities that are his stronghold and are Muslim like him, he is worshipped almost as a cult figure by many voters. At rallies during this campaign season, he stood stiff and erect, waving to the crowd

and saying little. His presence was enough to reassure them. Buhari did not smile while making his acceptance speech on Wednesday last week — understandably, as terrorism and corruption were his main talking points. A day after piling up substantial vote totals against the incumbent president, he further consolidated something extraordinary for Nigeria: the peaceful passing of power from one political party to another through the ballot box.

Democractic nation

The country is now a democratic nation like others, Buhari suggested, both in his words and in the fact that the democratic process worked well enough that he could give the speech at all. But in his remarks in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, he also bluntly enumerated two scourges in this giant democracy: the ruthless onslaught of the Boko Haram militant group; and the “evil of corruption”, as he put it.

In pairing them so prominently, he appeared to be setting his agenda for the coming months. And in lieu of a detailed policy platform, his vow to defeat Boko Haram amounts to a national security strategy, while fighting corruption has become an economic one. Last week, he focused more on the challenges posed by corruption than on the dangers of Boko Haram, perhaps indicating a veteran soldier’s disdain for the group as a true military threat. Though Boko Haram has killed thousands of civilians and stormed across big stretches of territory, Buhari was bluntly dismissive of the insurgents in a January interview on the campaign trail, characterising their fighting abilities in disparaging terms. “Boko Haram will soon know the strength of our collective will,” he said last week. “We shall spare no effort until we defeat terrorism.” As a practical matter, Boko Haram,

In this man, a familiar and less divisive choice for Nigerians Of course other Nigerian politicians have promised heaven and pledged to end corruption, only to fail or even steal with abandon afterward. But there is some reason to think Muhammadu Buhari may hew more closely to his promises. During his time as military ruler in 1984 and 1985, he did not enrich himself. And he ruthlessly pursued those whom he accused of corruption

,despite having pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group, is now less of a menace on the ground in Nigeria than it was in January. A coalition of foreign and domestic troops has substantially reduced Boko Haram’s footprint in the northeastern territory it had been holding for much of the past few years. Troops from Chad have taken the handful of border towns once held by the militants, and the Nigerians — backed by South African mercenaries — have taken others. It is impossible to verify the Nigerian military’s claim that nearly all the previously Islamist-occupied towns in the northeast — “local government areas”, as they are called in Nigeria — have now been reclaimed from Boko Haram. But many have been, and the latest, Gwoza, had been a Boko Haram stronghold for months. More challenging for Buhari will be the rot in the army that led to Boko Haram’s ascendance in the first place: corruption at high levels, poor morale, and the troops underequipped because much of the military budget has apparently been diverted. In interviews, Buhari has spoken of his anger at seeing foreign troops play a leading role in solving Nigeria’s Boko Haram problem. But he may not have much choice for now. Most diﬃcult for him will be how to handle

the command deﬁciencies that put frightened, lightly armed soldiers in the field against Boko Haram, leading to many losses and retreats in Nigeria’s nearly six-year battle with the militants. Human rights abuses against civilians by the Nigerian military have also been disturbingly common, with soldiers killing and detaining residents en mass. “What has been consistently lacking is the required leadership in our battle against insurgency,” Buhari said in a speech at the London think tank Chatham House in late February. Here he will tread gingerly, Buhari has suggested, seeking to determine responsibilities before proceeding to, say, ﬁring the top chiefs that many blame for Nigeria’s military failures. Of course, other Nigerian politicians have promised to end corruption only to fail or even steal with abandon afterward. But there is some reason to think Buhari may hew more closely to his promises. During his time as military ruler in 1984 and 1985, he did not enrich himself. And he ruthlessly pursued those whom he accused of corruption. “Corruption will not be tolerated by this administration; and it shall no longer be allowed to stand as if it is a respected monument in this nation,” he said last week.

Aisha Buhari: a new style of First Lady in Nigeria?

Aisha Buhari (above, casting a ballot last month) remained in the shadows for most of the election campaign but could now impose a very different style from the current First Lady at the presidential villa Aso Rock in Abuja. Below is the current First Lady, Patience Jonathan, wife of the outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan, who has a very different public profile and has been described as having the mannerisms of “a bull in China shop”. “Few would have believed that the taciturn, austere General Buhari had a soft, smiling and sweet woman at home,” the Vanguard daily said after the former military ruler was elected Nigeria’s next president. Aisha Buhari remained in the shadows for most of the election campaign but could now impose a very different style from the current First Lady at the presidential villa Aso Rock in Abuja. Little is known for now about the First Lady elect other than a few details in the Nigerian media: she is 44, married her 72year-old husband in 1989 after he divorced his first wife the previous year, and they have five children together. “I met Aisha Buhari three times, and she seems to be a very humble person, very friendly and a good listener,” said lawyer Ebere Ifendu, head of the Women in Politics Forum group in Abuja. The current First Lady, Patience Jonathan, wife of the outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan, has a very different public profile. She is well-known to journalists and mimicked by comedians for her boisterous public appearances as well as political and financial scandals. “Patience has been like a bull in a china shop. No control whatsoever,” said Yemisi Ransome-Kuti, head of the Nigeria Network of NGOs. “We are very hopeful that we will have a very different First Lady, who will bring calm and harmony at the presidency.” In the large house in a residential area of Abuja where her husband Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was watching election results come in, Aisha Buhari’s calm demeanour contrasted with the tumultuous scenes outside. The official vote count was under way and the electoral commission was drip-feeding results for the presidential election state by state until Buhari took an unassailable lead. The APC high command announced victory for their candidate and the news spread around the country, sparking scenes of jubilation, notably in the north’s biggest city, Kano. Dressed in a cream-coloured tunic and an orange and pink embroidered headscarf, Aisha Buhari seemed calm

and also relieved, despite the magnitude of what had just happened and what was to come. “The long journey has come to an end,” she told AFP, referring to the election campaign. But she admitted to “mixed feelings” about the campaign, a low-key reference to the low blows and personal attacks aimed at her husband from the ruling party. Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused Buhari, a northern Muslim, of supporting radical Islam, of failing to secure his secondary school certificate and even having terminal cancer. Aisha Buhari preferred instead to talk about the positive aspects of the rollercoaster ride that had led Nigeria to its first democratic transfer of power between parties at the ballot box. Nigeria had nothing to fear from her husband, she said. “I know him personally. Not as a leader of Nigeria. I know him as my husband and I think Nigeria should feel comfortable with him. He will get there,” she added. Patience Jonathan for her part tended to add fuel to the flames during the campaign, going as far as urging PDP supporters to “stone” anyone shouting “change” — the APC campaign slogan. The comments sparked outrage in the APC and led to a furious debate in the Nigerian media. Patience Jonathan — who styled herself “Mama Peace” — is used to media scandals. Even before the election of her husband as head of state in 2011, she was suspected by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2006 of having laundered a vast sum of money. In 2012, she became “permanent secretary” of the oil-producing southern state of Bayelsa, where Goodluck Jonathan is from and was a former governor. The opposition heavily criticised the appointment, decrying “nepotism” and “favouritism”. She also attracted the ire of civil society when in the aftermath of the mass kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls in April last year, one of the leaders of the “Bring Back Our Girls” movement was arrested after meeting the First Lady at the presidential villa.

Getting ahead in today’s job market

INDUSTRY | Strikes, widespread discontent and misappropriation of funds bedevil the public health sector BY VERAH OKEYO

@VerahOkeyo vokeyo@ke.nationmedia.com

o get the job done and make money, lots of it. That was the institutional and social logic that guided James Wainaina Macharia—the Cabinet Secretary for the Minsitry of Health— from the 1970s as an A-student in Kagumo High School, to 2013 as the revolutionary managing director of NIC bank before joining public service. Naturally, the 54 year old transferred his mantra from the private service to his work in the government. But nothing could have prepared the soft spoken Macharia for the unique set of challenges that professionals from the corporate sector experience when they move to public service. As one of the most senior public officials in the Ministry of Health, Mr Macharia has foung himself in a quandary as he struggles to reconcile health policies at the national level with service delivery in the counties. Seated at his office in Afya House, Nairobi, it is clear the CS is loaded with frustration, his efforts not to point fingers betrayed only by his choice of words. “In the private sector, people know you are at A, all they want is the result at point Z, they are not interested in the challenges you experience between B and Y”, he says. Six months after taking up the job, the London trained chartered accountant found himself on the spot over the weeklong strike of health workers in public hospitals in December last year. During the strike, there were reports of premature babies dying in incubators in Kenyatta National Hospital, HIV/AIDS patients in Mombasa missing out on life preserving drugs and mothers giving birth unattended at county hospitals. Daring the government to fire them, doctors and union leaders shared reports about the massive migration of doctors from public hospitals with public. This further highlighted the low doctor—patient ratio that is making headlines in World Health Organisation crisis reports. The CS was appalled as governors told the doctors to return to work or ‘hit the street’, a statement that was echoed further by Transition Authority’s boss Kinuthia Wa Mwangi. Even after the strike was called off, Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union’s (KMPPDU) SecretaryGeneral, Dr Ouma Oluga, reported that than 1,800 doctors resigned from the hospitals in 2014 because of deplorable working conditions. And early this year, the figure stood at 2,000, a huge enough deduction from the 8,682 registered doctors recorded in the health management information system quoted in the economic survey of 2014. The healthcare workers were demanding — among other things — that the government take charge of human resource management until a health service commission was set up. Today, Mr Macharia says he knows the real reason why the doctors downed their tools: “Anxiety. That is normal for any system in its budding stages, there are no career prospects, you are not assured of your job

The going has just gotten tougher Moving from the private sector to the public service has its challenges as Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Health, James Wainaina Macharia, found out, and now it is up to him to straighten out the kinks in the health system

surgery when the patient cannot even access first line antibiotics because the hospital has not procured and stocked them?” Dr Nyaim asks. KMPPDU’s Secretary General Dr Oluga questions whether the CS was aware that each region has disease burden profiles so diverse that some would not need them at all. The governors on the other hand opposed the project because they were not consulted. In his defense, Mr Macharia will produce signed records of attendance from his meeting held in 2013 with the governors, their health and finance executives where he had explained the need to have cancer equipment. The response from the governors, he says, annoyed him so much he wished he had been a CS in the previous government — before devolution. He told Jobs emphatically: “If you are aware that there is someone queuing at Kenyatta hospital for 12 weeks for cancer treatment and that he will die if he does not get the treatment, there is no

security, the structures are not stable”, he says. Notably, signed letters addressed to Mr Macharia from the KMPPDU in January and February this year show that doctors are still paid by the voucher system, despite this being one of the contentious issues that resulted in the strike. The voucher system, makes it hard for medics to have their national insurance funds deducted from their salaries thus denying them access to medical services when they fall ill. Unlike in the private sector where he had the authority to ﬁre an employee for not pulling his/her weight, government employees enjoy much stronger job protection which helps shield them Mr Macharia’s capitalistic attitude. “There are things I know I need to do, but because of constitutional limitations I cannot”, he says, “yet, when there is a strike in Mombasa, journalists will call to ask me what I am doing about it, not

knowing there is a government there that will not miss any opportunity to remind all of us that their autonomy is enshrined in the constitution”. He makes a cursory mention of the Sh38 billion equipment project, an initiative that brought tension between the national government and governors who opposed the equipping of county hospitals with state of the art machines. Mr Macharia was criticised by the medical fraternity for expecting expensive equipment to be used in hospitals that lacked foundational requirements such as medical supplies and drugs. Kenya Medical Association’s chair, Dr Elly Nyaim said the CS was ‘climbing the tree from the top’, ‘buying a vehicle, parking it in the house and then later going to learn how to drive’. “Will patients run the equipment alone when nurses and doctors are on strike because they have not been paid their little salaries? How will we perform

justification to extend that time further even for a second”. “In the previous government, nobody cared where the money came from because whether you stole it or begged for it, all an injured person needs from the scene of an accident in Ngata, Nakuru is intensive care, not an explanation on where you got the money to buy the equipment...”, he trails off. “There is no time for endless round table meetings, time is ticking and we gave a manifesto to the people two years ago whose results we should finish on time”, says the frustrated CS. Faced with their own financial challenges due to structural teething problems, governors expenditure on health in the last quarter of 2014 has left a lot to be desired in certain counties. The report on the expenditure, he says, almost gave him a heart attack. “There are counties like Kisii that spent less than two per cent of their monies on health, and I am certain 98 per cent of that little amount went into salaries instead of buying even one Panadol”, he says. “You know the children of the people who oppose these projects do not seek treatment there, they can afford to fly out of the country or go to private hospitals”. Regardless of the tribulations he is facing, Mr Macharia says he has not set the bar modestly for Kenya’s health. He poses a rhetoric question: “It is easier to get here from Congo than it is to go to South Africa, but do you know the Congolese flock South Africa for very basic treatment that our doctors can handle easily?”

POWER TALK | What you concieve in your mind can be achieved in real life

No job in sight, should I go back?

Create the future you keep dreaming of A

Dear Florence, I enjoy reading your weekly column on human resource issues in the Daily Nation newspaper on Fridays. I am currently going through a professional difficulty and I know that your advice shall greatly help me deal with the situation. I quit my job last year in April hoping to get another one soon after but as we speak I am yet to get another job. It was my first job and I had worked there for three years (2011-2014) before quitting. The main reason for quitting was a persistent under staffing issue at the branch where I was working hence making it difficult to get out of work on time to attend to other matters like pursuing higher education, networking and family life. Another reason was lack of career progression. Even after working for three years and emerging as one of the best accounts executives in the whole company, there was no sign of moving to a higher position, an issue that really killed my morale considering that other colleagues from different departments were getting promotions. Although I knew that it wasn’t a wise idea quitting before getting another job, I was totally exhausted and my motivation level was at zero and therefore quitting was the only viable option then.However, having stayed out here and finally realising how difficult it is to find a job, I am kind of contemplating on reapplying for a job at my former employer. I therefore needed to ask for your opinion on whether this is a good idea and how I could go about it if it gets to that point. Thank you as I await your feedback. Name Withheld. Hello, Thank you for your kind words and for being a faithful reader of my column. I really sympathise with your predicament and can tell you that it is something very many people go through. You are not alone. Sometimes walking away from a very difficult job is better than working in a very stressful environment. I believe you took a risk walking out. One of the benefits of having walked out is that you have had time to rest and rethink your strategy. Let your having quit not be in vain. 1. Examine yourself: Begin by asking yourself what you are really good at. Sit down for a few moments and carry out a personal audit of your strengths and weaknesses and find out what opportunities lie out there that match your God-given talents. 2. Visualise: Next, ask yourself what you would enjoy waking up to every morning. Imagine how it would feel waking up to go to a job you really like. Describe that job as vividly as possible. Where would you be? What would you be doing? What skills do you have that match that job? What skills do you need to get that job? 3. Come up with a plan: Having answered all these questions, ask yourself if you can come up with a plan to get that job. You might require additional training or skills. If all you need is a good plan and finances, start looking for them. Alternatively you might just need to find someone who already does what you like and partner with them. Whatever the case, do something! I also noted that you have alluded to issues of under-staffing, lack of motivation to work, too much work, as well as insufficient time for selfdevelopment and social life. You also said that staff in other departments were getting promoted. Did you try raising these issues with your former boss before walking away? These issues need to be addressed because even if you got your job back you’d still confront them. As you reapply for your old job (should you decide to), kindly raise these issues so that you can negotiate around them. Finally, if your answers led you back to your former employer, by all means reapply for your job! All the best. And remember, Nothing risked, Nothing gained!

few days ago I watched a clip on BBC that showed a new test being conducted on traffic lights in Newcastle in the United Kingdom. According to the BBC, the system advises motorists of the speed they need to drive at to arrive at lights at exactly the right time and could give priority vehicles, such as ambulances, the power to change them from stop to go. It is hoped the reduction in waiting times at traffic lights could help reduce pollution and save on fuel. The system gives power to the motorist to change the lights from red to green at night so that they do not have to wait at night when there is no traffic. Now the interesting thing is that I had seen that same thing in a fiction movie long ago where someone was able to control the traffic lights remotely. Make things happen The gap between fiction and reality is closing fast. The future belongs to those who can dream then wake up to figure out what needs to be done or created to make their dreams come to pass. The way it used to be was that we had materials around us — those things that already existed and we built dreams from the known. Now it’s different. We can dream and then create

the things that will make our dreams come to pass. So, our greatest hindrance right now seems to be our ability to dream and the quality of our imagination. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera the creators of The Jetsons had nothing to benchmark when

Inspiration fuels dreams Years after the initial Jetsons debut, Bill Gates went on to start Microsoft with his friend Paul Allen. Gates was born in 1955 and Allen in 1953. Steve Jobs went on to start Apple. He was born in 1955. Vinod khosla, Andy Bechtolsheim, Scott McNealy, and William Nelson “Bill” Joy are founders of SUN Microsystems. It might interest you to know that they were all born either in 1954 or 1955. This means that in the early sixties as kids, they watched shows like the Jestsons and Star Trek (as revealed by quite a number of them in books and interviews) Could it be that the things that they saw on these shows played a role in inspiring them to ﬁnd a way to convert that ﬁction to reality? Just thinking… Spectator or participant? What are we conceiving with our minds? Elon Musk the founder of Tesla has predicted that in 20 years, driving as we know it may be on its way out. He said recently that once self-driven cars become widely used, traditional human driven cars may need to be banned. So

much for your driver’s license! With all major manufacturers now scrambling to work on self-driven cars and with companies such as Mercedes actually displaying their selfdriven cars, the future is set to be exciting. Whether you like it or not, that future will come. Will you be a spectator or a participant? The knowledge that ﬂoats around today is enough to trigger thinking to ensure our relevance in the future. The challenge is that most people excuse themselves from future relevance by giving excuses. Instead of excusing yourself from the future, prepare yourself for it by ﬂooding your mind with knowledge, allowing your mind to convert the knowledge into possibilities. Refuse all forms of negativity and then develop yourself to deliver the possibilities. Never forget that the best way to predict the future is to create it. Ensure that history is kind to you by insisting on writing your own history. Think! It costs you nothing but pays you everything!

MANAGEMENT | In order to make the right choices, begin with the end in mind

Learn how to respond to circumstances KITHINJI FLORENCE

ﬂorence.kithinji@ksg.ac.ke @kithinji_f If you recall from last week, Maurice and Rael were queuing to make payments and discussing the cashier’s annoying behaviour. One of the customers behind them joined in their discussion. He was slightly older than Maurice and also held a bunch of papers, indicating that he too was there to make a payment. He introduced himself as Joseph and was soon talking to the duo. Maurice said, “Whenever I come across someone with a negative attitude, I am almost sure that the person may have had a bad experience in life and thus decides to punish everyone with his/her negative attittude. I believe that everyone has a story behind their actions.” Joseph, their new friend on the queue, agreed. “The truth is that we all get to choose our attitudes. We all choose how to respond to situations.Psychologists state that there is a small gap between a stimulus or what happens to us and our response. In this gap lies our freedom. We can choose to become victims or victors in that small gap. In order to make the right choices, we need to begin with the end in mind,”

stated Joseph. According to Stephen Covey in his famous book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this means having a mental picture of the outcomes you want at the end of your interaction with the other party. It also means reflecting on the means of getting to that end. Joseph then narrated the storyof a young boy who was part of a team of footballers. His coach always put him on the bench and did not allow him into the field. While on the bench, the boy learnt quite a lot about the game. The boy’s father always came to watch his son play. It did not matter that the boy was never in the field-his father always sat in the audience watching each game. All the team members

were fond of the boy because he always cheered them on. For years, the boy persevered without having played a single game. Then one day the boy came to the coach in tears. His dear father had passed on. Everyone in the team felt sorry for the boy and they all wanted him to feel better. It happened that on his particular day that the main player in the boy’s team was away and the team was doing rather badly. In desperation and as a gesture of kindness, the coach asked the boy to join the team, hoping against hope that the boy would at least hold the game to the end. The not only played a great game but scored the crucial goals that made the team sail through to become the best that season. Later,

the coach was curious about the boy’s exemplary game and apologised for not having brought him to the game before. The boy smiled at the coach and replied, “There is something you did not know about my dear dad. Although he attended every match, he was blind. When he died, I realised that for the first time my father would be able to see, so I played my best so as to make him proud”, Joseph concluded. “Nice story,” commented Maurice. Suddenly everyone on the queue started clapping. They had been listening to Joseph’s story. At this point, Joseph he revealed his identity to the surprised cashier and the other customers. “I am a manager in one of the branches of the organisation. Now that I have confirmed that there is a problem in this department, I will organise a customer service and public relations course for all our staff. For the first time, the cashier smiled, maybe in anticipation of the course. Turning to Rael and Maurice, he offered, “Maybe I’ll invite you both to share your experiences”.

I could see Wildman Rod standing at the back of the line, hands in his pockets. The guide said he’d show us the displays inside the museum, and then he’d take us around the rail yard and show us the old locomotives. “What about the railway car the lion broke into?” Mato blurted. The guide smiled. “I’ll show you that as well. Come, follow me.” Inside the railway museum

we saw old photos of Indian workers building the railway back in 1899. They had some of the original silverware from early trains as well as a typed menu. “Hey, look up there,” Dave said. He pointed at an old metal and glass lantern that read: Rugendo. We looked at the identiﬁcation card. It said this was the original lantern for the Rugendo Railway Station. “We’re famous!” said Jona.

HAKUNA MATATA FESTIVAL WAS ONE MUDDY AFFAIR The party venue was a mess, with the youngish audience dancing in the rain in their muddy clothes and faces. The few grownups present remained frustrated in the tents, where almost every movement precipitated a mudbath.

t has always been a highly hyped event among the usual revellers who throng the Hakuna Matata Festival and the 5th edition was no diﬀerent. It was billed as “the biggest event yet.” The deejay line-up was impressive; Crème de la Crème, G-Money, Protégé, Crossfade, Deejay Kace and Raj-el-rey, plus a performance by P-Unit, who are currently riding high with their single, Weka Weka. So, despite the event being held at a farﬂung location in Kajiado County, music lovers were bound to enjoy the night.

Wet and muddy

I have always thought of myself as a survivor, until I found myself in a somewhat muddy and wet ﬁx at the festival last Saturday. First, you had to park your car far from the venue and wade through kilometres of mud, in the rain, to get to the brightly lit set-up where the action was taking place. This was made worse by the fact that the location at Graceland Olepolos had no telephone network. It was impossible to warn the rest back at home, who had planned to come late, to ditch their white pair of Nikes for gumboots, or

their cut out tops for a rain coat. DJ Crème was ﬁrst to play his set and did his best to keep the crowd entertained, save for a few who were still shaking from the trauma of losing shoes in the mud along the way and probably afraid of catching a cold by dancing in the rain. The party spot was a mess, with the youngish audience dancing in the rain in their muddy clothes and faces. The few grownups present were frustrated in the tents, where almost every movement precipitated a mud bath, from the tedious walk through the mud to use the washroom, to crossing a puddle of gushing rain

water to buy food from vendors who had set up stalls at their allocated venue. They were thoroughly agitated and could be heard complaining about their cars stuck in the mud at the parking lot, or how old they felt among the crowd of young kids who were having a blast dancing to Deejay G-Money’s music mix of the latest club banger, Rambo Canambo. ‘‘It is pathetic that I’m completely cut oﬀ from communicating with anyone. The network is at zero,” one frustrated reveller complained as she walked to the bar area to buy a drink, careful not to fall down in the process. As the night wore on, most people forgot about the prevailing challenges and warmed up to the exciting performances of the engaging deejays. The P-Unit duo of Frasha and Bon-eye also gave an electrifying performance, with the crowd calling for an encore after they performed Weka Weka. There was also a welcome surprise act by rapper Kristoﬀ, who performed two songs with the duo. But although people had momentarily forgotten about their earlier frustration, they were jolted back to reality when it was

time to leave, as it had started raining again, forcing the revellers into a state of soberness as they trekked back to the parking - which was by the road. Woe unto you if you had to make a phone call to locate your driver or a lost friend. Generally, the event has come under harsh criticism, with people taking to the social media to make fun of the event, which they are sarcastically referring to as the Kuna Matope festival. With the unpredictable weather and schools having closed for the ﬁrst term break, event organisers should be aware of the challeng-

ing task ahead of them as they plan to give revellers memorable experiences worth their money while at the same time anticipating how to manage an underage revellers. This a brilliant concept but will probably not live long enough if the organisers only concentrate on “free location” to save on money. Their last concert at Migaa was another nightmare as many people got robbed and cars broken into as the parking lot was not well lit and the security crew was overwhelmed. By Zuqka Correspondent

Some of revellers who decided to have fun in the mud having travelled far for the event.

REVIEW » GEORGE OMONDI “WILLY PAUL AND Bahati beeﬁng”. That was the headline for many blogs this week after gospel star Bahati took to Facebook to hit back at Willy Paul for what he claimed was Paul’s constant attacks on him, and even stealing his music. “Beef” is something you expect anywhere except in an industry that is supposed to be bringing people to God, or the ministry, as they call it. Gospel music, like all other genres, is a medium of communication and God cares about what we say and how we say it. So if we believe in the authority of the scripture, then it should govern, not just what we say, but the way we say it. So the question that will always be asked since the scripture is presented in a literary art form is; Do these ‘superstar secular’ artistes who throw in ...mungu nakupenda... in between their lyrics represent anything near scripture? The “vessel” or “tool”, in this case the artiste, carrying this message is highly in-

The secularity that is raising gospel superstars appropriate, to say the least. The cultural milieu from which these “vessels” borrow the codes they live by are trap music and dancehall. One can argue that when a person gets saved, his or her life undergoes a fundamental change, and that, ideally should include the kind of music they create. Doing a reggae-esque dancehall song and calling it gospel doesn’t make sense. If gospel artistes are to use music to express God’s holy truth, then the forms they use should change to actually be appropriate for communicating God’s truth as expressed in the scriptures. “…Let him who is without sin cast the ﬁrst stone…” is an admonition the socalled ministers love

to use when their ministry is questioned, but it is an issue that needs to be addressed. It’s not right, even musically, for a Kenyan gospel artiste to insist that his greatest musical inspiration is a secular artiste. It beats logic when a preacher has beef with another preacher. What is disconcerting about this so-called new age gospel music is that it portrays a picture of weakness and surrender on the part of the people who think they are serving God when they are not. They are serving their own ﬂesh, they’re caving in to the world, they are disobedient cowards who are not willing to engage in spiritual battles.

But that is not to say that there is only a certain type of music that should be used in the worship, or that all music should be sung like Amazing Grace. The point that should be noted, and heeded is that some art or music forms cannot be separated from the culture from which they are drawn. Partying, the objectification of women, life in the fast lane and such mundane topics should not feature in music that is meant to bring about spiritual change; a song meant to transform people’s lives and draw them closer to God can’t have a “gal-a-bubble” feel and still be passed off as gospel music. As much it might be good to look with it, some of the urban influences these artistes borrow from are way too deep in the secular world. Basically, the Kenyan gospel artiste is cowardly following the world instead of confronting and changing it. By George Omondi

AN OPEN LETTER TO AL SHABAAB

Dear Al-Shabaab,

You have claimed responsibility for taking the lives of 147 Christian students. I’m sad for their families who have to live with the loss, but I’m not sad for the students themselves. Theirs was a beautiful death. If I were to choose the manner in which to die, I would choose the same – as a defender of my faith. I assume you deliberately chose this time because it is Easter, the time Christ laid down His life for us all; yes, even for you. Why? To mock Him perhaps? Well, I have news for you, Al-Shabaab. You are not the ﬁrst. Over 2,000 years ago, there was an angry mob that mocked Him, jeered Him and made fun of Him, baying for His blood. There were Roman soldiers who spat on Him, beat Him, yanked out His beard, whipped Him, put a crown of thorns on His head, and nailed Him to the cross. They had rejected Him as their Messiah even though they knew exactly who and what He was. They had seen His miracles, they had heard His words. Who knows what causes men to deliberately do what is wrong? To deliberately choose the evil path? I don’t know. All I know is that Jesus looked to the criminals alongside Him, at the mobs, soldiers and religious leaders and said: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” The cross didn’t kill Jesus. The Romans

ell, it’s certainly been a trying couple of weeks. First, the horriﬁc attack in Garissa, and then having to deal with the news that one of the attackers was born and bred in Kenya. It’s easier to think of terrorists as “those” people. Somewhere far away, living in a makeshift tent somewhere in Somalia. Not a person who attended the University of Nairobi. Or some kids in Egerton sending terrorist threats because they think it’s “funny”. Not a guy in a refugee camp whom you are trying to help with abode and food. Not someone in Eastleigh living among us. How safe can we be if the enemy is within? Trying, trying times. Well, I refuse to live in fear. Last weekend I penned a letter to Al-Shabaab that I posted on my Facebook page. I’d like to share it with you here. Since the enemy is within and it turns out, educated, I’m sure they will read it.

CIKU’S BEEF

ciku muiruri didn’t kill Jesus. The Sadducees and Pharisees didn’t kill Jesus. Jesus willingly gave up His earthly life for precisely the scene He was witnessing. He paid the penalty for the sins we commit in our ignorance (and even the ones we commit deliberately). So, to all you Al-Shabaab guys who have killed my Christian brothers and sisters, I forgive you. Yes, you heard me right. I forgive you. As you fill your heart with hate (just as those angry mobs did 2,000 years ago), I will fill my heart with love — like Jesus did — for truly, you know not what you do. I’m not mourning. I have joy in my heart this Good Friday and I’ll tell you why: Jesus will die at 3pm and rise again. So will the students you have slain. Yes, they will rise. Eternal life is promised to all who believe in Him. Kill us all! We will rise. Your plan to put a damper on Easter has merely served to remind me why I observe it in the first place – People like you. You are the reason He died on the cross, to give you salvation if you repent. I don’t hate you. I love you. I forgive you. Happy Easter everyone! God Bless Kenya. www.facebook.com/missciku @missciku

HAVING LET INSOMNIA win in tonight’s war, I rdecided to get out of bed at 2am to type this piece. The past few days are taking a toll on me, with sleep deserting me because every time I close my eyes, images of my Garissa colleagues writhing in pain and death torment me. Going by the incessant phone calls I’m getting from Grandpa Richard, I can tell he’s not doing any better either. The shock he got after the atrocious bloodbath must be a 10 on a Ritcher Scale. Grandma says the old man has aged 10 years in the past one week. The agonised cries of the families whose children fell victim to the terrorist attack pierce deep inside me, making humour desert me. Sarcasm, too, escapes upon the realisation that my comrades who survived the incident will forever live with trauma, with the horrendous memories replaying in their minds nanosecond by nanosecond. So today, I’m simply writing from the heart. I was ﬂabbergasted to learn that one of the attackers, whom a newspaper headline described as a monster — and rightly so — happened to be a comrade not so long ago. The 27-year-old would have made an excellent attorney, but instead chose to use his gifts for evil. Even more ﬂummoxing is the chilling fact that the country is crawling with virulent Al Shabaab sympathisers. I am ashamed that some of the sympathisers are my comrades. Just the other day, the papers reported that three young girls, among

them university students, were arrested while heading to Somalia. It is alleged that they planned to marry terrorists and support their heinous cause. There’s something very gauche about abetting mass murderers in the hope of a celestial token in your afterlife. All true religions abhor such brutality. Evil only begets more evil, even in the hereafter. I could write verse and chapter about religious extremism, but this is neither the time nor the forum. All I’ll do is urge my comrades to desist from radicalisation. Radicalisation is the exact antithesis of self-actualisation. The tension in institutions of higher learning and the country at large is almost palpable, and understandably so. However, comrades should refrain from stereotyping fellow students by labelling them terrorists on the basis of religion. The country needs unity now more than ever. While the nation wept until the its tears turned red, some comrades took to engaging in the most detestable form of scaremongering. They created fake social media accounts and posed as terrorists, then proceeded to issue bastardly threats. Such people only serve the interests of radicals, and remind one of the reason why jails were created in the ﬁrst place. The Garissa massacre should serve as a wake-up call to our security forces, which have in the past proved to be as eﬀective as dried-up pens. Never again should our universities be turned from fountains of knowledge into rivers of blood. 142 is not just a number. Never forget.

THE ‘WHICH-GOAL-WAS-MORE-MONSTROUS?’ WEEKEND

ike the question as to which was more important on the ground, the presence of the Recce squad or that of the IG (and Interior CS), a discourse could be had for a period longer than it would take the defence organs to learn from the mistakes of yesteryears. So, indeed, which was more wondrous, had more panache or carried the Mayweather-esque punch? The competition is stiff: from Bobby Zamora’ stylish lobe; 63year-old Jermaine Defoe‘s screamer; Charlie Adam’s from-own-half dress-down of Thibaut Courtois; Wayne Rooney’s weaker-foot controlled volley and Alexis Sanchez’ bullet that left Mignolet more stupeﬁed than embarrassed, it’s a discussion to be had to the apocalypse. Nevertheless, let’s talk a bit about Liverpool today, and not in

a knee-jerkish, reactionary fashion as Kenyan forces are wont to, but simply because as a staunch defender of Brendan Rodgers, I might be losing a bit of faith in his overall philosophy. It seems the more that Liverpool didn’t quite have a clear game plan when selling Suarez last season, at least that’s what using only one substitution on the bench against Arsenal suggested – a lack of trust in the talents that were to be used as substitutes, perhaps even placed there merely to fill the mandatory list. Indeed, Liverpool was missing Gerrard and Skrtel, but teams that have had worse injury records, including Arsenal, still sit at least eight points above the reds. Where were Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli? Raheem Sterling has been coruscating this season, but forcing a natural midfielder into the centre-half position speaks volumes of the state of affairs of your

FRANKFOOT

frank midega strikers. When you offload your best talent for £70 million (Sh5.6 billion) or thereabout, the least that would be expected would be replacements that can individually or collectively match the gap left. But Rodgers went on to buy Southampton FC, only succeeding to prove Liverpool can do better than Tottenham did with the Bale proceeds. Rodgers simply cannot escape blame. If Skrtel is off on his threematch ban, why is Lovren on the bench? If Sturridge is not fully fit,

why is Sterling a makeshift striker when Rodgers bought Lambert and Balotelli? ***** Elsewhere, He scored five goals in a week that Messi scored none, which means precious little as the Baulgrana still sits pretty four points from Madrid. Ronaldo’s five goals took his tally in La Liga this season to 36, four ahead of Lionel Messi. The Portuguese forward has now scored three or more goals 24 times in La Liga, equalling the record set this season by Messi. But let’s quit the statistics, and discuss how the head-to-head rule favours bigger teams at the end of the season. This ludicrous head-to-head rule basically allows teams to walk onto the pitch to play no football against bigger teams they have no chance of finishing on top of while they wait for their relegation battle competition fixtures. Granada rested eight

ﬁrst team regulars. If Crystal Palace were to leave their eight best players against a City side, we would need beanbags to add the goal tally. This would be unfair for league contenders who play the relegation battling teams’ return leg earlier in the season. Granada held this game to as much relevance as using a log book is to a practising medical doctor. So if Granada concedes nine today but beat Almeria next week, today’s game doesn’t matter. Finally, Celta Vigo’s Fabián Orellana earned a straight red card after he threw a piece of turf at Sergio Busquets for being Sergio Busquets. Which is interesting for two things: one, you have to appreciate the accuracy of his grass throwing antics. Secondly, Busquets now breaks the record, his own, for the number of things that can take a footballer player down to include a piece of grass, air aside. @midegaodero

WOMEN DRESS FOR OTHER WOMEN, NOT FOR MEN

DALLIANCE DIARY

ciku kimani Men exercise their brain muscle a lot by trying to guess what the body under the clothes looks like. They will stare sinfully, intensely, lost in their own little world of imagination at a fully covered woman.

ressed nakedness! What a poetic phrase! It’s from a book I read a few weeks ago. The phrase, at a glance, is confusing, but only if you are a woman. For men, this is nursery school curriculum. Dressed nakedness. Have you ever wondered how some men find a woman wearing a burka sexy? I mean, the only thing visible is the face, sometimes, just the eyes. Yet some poor man somewhere always hits another cart whenever a burka-covered woman passes in front of his car. Talk about the power of imagination. How about those long dresses that leave everything to imagination? Men exercise their brain muscle a lot by trying to guess what the body under the clothes looks like. They will stare sinfully, intensely, lost in their own little world of imagination, at a fully covered woman. Wonder no more why he does that; he is trying to guess the shape of the body, the colour of her sun-protected thighs, the texture of her skin – the works! Yes, men will stare at a skimpily dressed women, they will even find her sexy because, let’s face it, most women who have the guts to don them little numbers have enough confidence to share with three neighbours, and we all know one of the things that ignites a man’s night senses is a confident woman. But do not be surprised if he spends more time staring at a fully covered woman than the barely dressed one

WHEN A WOMAN IS PLANNING WHAT TO WEAR, IMPRESSING A MAN IS, TECHNICALLY, THE LAST THING ON HER MIND

– it is no secret that less is not necessarily sexier, simply because men love mysteries. That begs the question. For whose beneﬁt do women dress? I know, the usual stuﬀ; #mydressmychoice, to cover up, because we are not in the Stone Age so you cannot walk naked (I hear they do that a lot, not only in Turkana, but also in Miami). I have said it before, and I will say it again: when a woman is planning what to wear, impressing a man is, technically, the last thing on her mind. Hard to believe, but true. She might give the man some secondary consideration, but the primary

reason she chooses to wear what she wears is other women. Even when she is going on a date, the reason she wears that little black number that accentuates the right curves is for the beneﬁt of other women. It is her way of telling them that the guy she is with already has the best women in the vicinity so could they please keep their lust to themselves. And for a good reason too. Like I have explained above, men hardly see clothes. When they say that men are colour-blind, it is a lie. Remember Leo in the The Matrix (of course you have watched The Matrix over and over) when his eyes are messed up

and he could no longer see like you and I? An average man’s eyes operate a bit like Leo’s; they see right through the clothes. When a woman wears a short dress, the men around do not see the dress, they see the exposed legs. Men have no interest in clothes, unless you speciﬁcally ask them what they think about a particular outﬁt, to which they will reply, “It is nice.” When a woman wears a body-hugging dress, what men see is not the colour or the print of the dress, what they see is what is being hugged. Women, on the other hand, see every detail of that print. They even see the uneven prints, and later, when having a conversation with her boyfriend, she will say something like, “Do you remember that chick with the green dress – the one that had a quarterinch tear on the side and was a little discoloured on the underarms?” “Nope”, the man will say. The woman will rephrase it: “You don’t remember that tall chic with the big bottom….” “Ah…now I remember. She was a size 12, yeah?’ I rest my case. cikukimani254@gmail.com @MamaSamora FB: Ciku Kimani-Mwaniki

‘SEX FOR BEATS’ PUTTING OFF FEMALE GOSPEL STARS

tories of female gospel artistes being forced to exchange sexual favours for a shot at fame and fortune have become commonplace, painting the gospel industry as a jungle for young upcoming female artistes. Venturing into it with good intentions, some say their dreams are thwarted by lecherous producers. This places the aspiring young women in a dilemma: Should they give in to demands for sex to launch their career, or stand their moral ground and forfeit their dream? Remarkably, there are those who hit it out on their own and make it purely on merit. However, they ﬁnd it hard to defend themselves in the court of public opinion, where their success is seen as evidence of impropriety. Zuqka spoke to a few industry insiders to get some insight into the matter.

Chuchu

“Have you noticed that we don’t have many single women in the gospel industry,” Chuchu asks. “Things are bad, I tell you. I get tired just talking about all the rubbish we go through.” Described as one of Kenyan’s hottest gospel babes, Chuchu

has been attracting a lot of attention since she entered the music scene. You probably remember her from Jimmy Gait’s mega hit, Ole, in which she collaborated with HD. But it’s her hit songs, Upendo and Beautiful, that have made her a household name. Many have heard her voice and seen her pretty face on blogs and newspaper advert, yet the burdens of beauty is weighing her. “People believe that a girl can’t make it on her own unless she is married or exchanging favours. It’s even worse when we are treated like sex symbols in gospel circles,” she says. Chuchu has always wanted to be a musician. At the age of eight, she was already singing in a church choir. “My mom sang in the choir and led praise and worship,” she reminisces. “Every time she heard me sing, she’d say I would be a great artiste one day.” While in Standard Six, she met gospel sensation Jimmy Gait, then a struggling artiste. They toured schools, conducted missions and even recorded a song together. When she completed high school in 2010, she reconnected with the now successful Gait and did the smash hit Ole. That opened the gates to fame,

bringing with it the good, the bad and the ugly. From fans trailing her with ulterior motives, to industry players

downright asking for “it”, Chuchu has experienced it all. “I almost gave up on music, I felt that, if this is gospel music, then I’d rather not do it. I just wish everyone would be professional and do their job with no strings attached,” she recalls. Through all the upheavals, she has received the unwavering support of her mother, brother and friends. She has also managed to connect with people in the industry who have helped her realise her dreams. “I really thank God for connecting me with the right people,” she says. “I can’t name them all but Teddy B, St P, R Kay and Lawrence Thuku of Truth FM have been very instrumental. I’ll never forget what RKay once told me: ‘You don’t need people to make it; with God, nothing is impossible.” With a powerful voice and a new determination, Chuchu is set to take her art to the next level. She is currently working on transitioning to live music, even as she works on her début album. “The guys at Sound Deluge have really helped me get my act together.

“Music was my inborn passion so I took a step of faith to get my career going but I was shocked by the level of immorality in the entertainment industry. Ladies compromising, men taking advantage… waah, it’s crazy! I think the solution is parent/guardian involvement. If fathers and mothers searched and paid for studios as they do schools, would we really have this kind of drama?” she asks. “I got into the industry with no support. I had two choices; quit or compromise, so I developed a third option: I became a video vixen to get money for studio time but in those days we were not paid that much. I featured in P-Unit’s Hapa Kule in 2009, Kenrazy’s Rudia and GKon’s Mikono Juu. When I got saved, I switched to gospel, only to ﬁnd the same things. You need to test these people who claim to be gospel musicians, there are too many fakes, I tell you no man can be trusted; only God. I have encountered several producers who pretend to be interested in my music, only to realise they are not seeing me as a minister, but as a potential girlfriend. That is why we don’t have many single women in the industry. If you don’t dance to their tune, they will put you oﬀ, but if you comprise they will use you and dump you for the next hot thing.

Young people can be sometimes be naïve and, consequently, fall prey to those who might wish to take advantage of them, says Rachael Njoroge, who has more than 10 years’ experience in event planning and the entertainment industry. We need more avenues for mentorship to nurture the talent in the music industry. I run a forum called Ray Talk where we equip and cultivate talent. We have had the privilege of helping artistes avoid the pitfall of being vulnerable and made them productive. Upcoming artistes should learn how the industry works, and how to work on their talent without been taken advantage of. They need to network with the right k i n d of people, those who will lift them, not crash them. We must encourage artistes to attend such forums or mentorship programmes if we want to grow this industry.”

DJ Shock, cofounder of ADJ,

Rose Haki

For this gospel DJ, she has a piece of advice. “Grow a thick skin, things will happen that make the journey difﬁcult but don’t give up! Have a support system of friends, pastors and mentors to encourage you, says the veteran gospel DJ and co-founder of an online mentorship programme for DJs that boasts more than 12,000 members. “Don’t listen to anyone who says you have to play along and do the wrong thing to make it; God has done it for others, He will do it for you if you trust Him and pay the price of ed-

ucating yourself on the music industry, working hard and working smart. You don’t want to ﬁnd yourself in a position where, you are successful, but when people want to know how you got there you have no testimony because you went against your beliefs and did unethical things. The best way to enter the industry is to seek out and form a strong relationship with a mentor, especially of the same gender; not a peer, but an old hand in the industry, a veteran. People who are almost fatherly/ motherly, explain how the industry works and protect you from pitfalls and wrong decisions, as long as you keep them updated on what is happening.”

St P, Producer

An accomplished producer, he has a long list hits to his credit, including Jimmy Gait’s Sari Sari, Kambua’s Usiku na Mchana and Bahati’s latest single, Lover. St P has worked with just about everyone in the industry, the famous to the infamous and everything in between. He is also the audio producer of NTV’s satirical show, XYZ, and one of the leading audio experts on cartons and animations. “My female clients have told me these stories and it’s bad out there. Most of them come to me after being frustrated by other producers; women are afraid of recording nowadays. But there are two sides to this story: Women also use producers and dump them when they become famous. But it’s not good for business. If you sleep with 10 women and do 10 free songs for them at 20k each, that’s 200k gone. If you do free albums for each, that’s 1.2 million, and they distract you from paying clients. Some girls seduce producers to get freebies, some even move into their houses and live off them. But there are those who fall in love innocently during the production processes. You can’t produce someone’s music unless you guys have creative chemistry and with the long hours we spend in the studio, the lines can get a little blurred at times. As a Christian, I have to set an example and I believe over the years I have earned the respect of my female clients. You have to separate business and pleasure. You can’t mess the paycheck because of a few seconds of pleasure. What you do to someone else’s daughter will be done to yours, so treat these girls like your little sister. If a little “office romance” happens between a producer and an artiste, be faithful and keep the work professional. Many producers have actually married artistes they worked with. I think our modern world has cheapened love and glorified sex, that’s why we throw away our dignity for temporary happiness. I still get bombarded by random texts from women who want to pull a fast one on me. Some of them even schedule super-late sessions and show up at my doorstep with overnight bags. But as everyone in the business knows, St P keeps it strictly business.” Boni Nyaga @boninyagah

THE PAIN OF BEING A TEETOTALLER

“Y

ou don’t drink? H o w n o w ? You are lying, aki…” she says as her eyes widening with disbelief. Then comes the main question: “So what is your vice?” Now, people, can give those who don’t drink, especially men, a break. The “vice” question is one I have never quite ﬁgured out. Why are sober guys thought to be sex machines? I am not saying they are not, but where did this — no, not myth — someone help me out here please, come from? I have a feeling that drunk men came up with it to keep their girls away from the “jumpy guy holding a soda at 3am”. But why would you be concerned when your girl decides she deserves better than what she has? I never understand men who fall asleep at the club and even start drooling and leave their wife, girlfriend or mpango wa kando, unattended to. No, not like a bag, calm down, people. Unattended in the sense that she came to the club to have fun with you but there you are, a heap of intoxicated junk snoring while her favourite song, Rambo Canambo, is blaring. She wants to get down, if she is a Nairobi girl, she wants to back up on you and then bend and touch her toes. Nairobi ladies, is there no other style than bend over? How do you bend over to every bloody song the DJ plays? Sura Yako plays, you touch your toes, Kanungo follows and you still look like you dropped your earrings and won’t come up until you ﬁnd them. How do you guys make sure you don’t assume the same position when you are in church? Yes, this is a Nairobi girls only affair. It’s 2015, I am sure Rihanna has come up with a new style. I have been to weddings where the bridal party decided to look for their earrings when Ruth Wamuyu’s Amukira Ngatho started playing. You should have seen the parents wondering what was going on and I have a feeling they thought their children were bowing down. I just pray that the PCEA Nyandarua Women’s Guild does not bend over on Sundays. Please pray for them, people. Back to being a teetotaler. There are many

other myths associated with being sober in the club: we always have a lot of money because we don’t drink; we are broke so we have no money for drinks; we always observe our friends at their worst and use this against them; we are saved; our lives are boring; and that we steal the drunk guys’ girls. Now, that last one always makes me laugh. You cannot steal a girl from her man, she leaves willingly. I have never heard some girl say she was snatched from her husband and held hostage in her lover’s bed. That sounds like a Vioja Mahakamani case, though. Being a teetotaller comes with a lot of responsibilities, water and soft drinks are always the ﬁrst to run out, and waiters really don’t care when you ask them to go get you water from the store. We are the people everyone tends to give their phones and bags to watch over when they are about to go and imbibe like EABL is running out of stock. We are tired of always being skipped when our friends are buying “raos” because kids shouldn’t be in the club, to begin with. You always have to drop everyone home. This is the worst and we want the government to grant us tax breaks on cars and fuel because dropping some drunk friend in Ruiru and another at Mountain View estate at 3am is a lot of work. In this era of alco-blow, we are a godsend to most of our alcohol-loving friends, but that is the only time we are not being taunted for being “sissies” who cannot handle a stiﬀ one, I am talking drinks of ye citizens of gutter-ville. So this weekend, buy your teetotaller pal a rao. @Mwanikih

Dear Cindy, My girlfriend of ﬁve months and I are second-year students in the same college. Although I am not poor, she is from a very rich family. She even drives and does not live in the college hostels. She claims she is okay with my ﬁnancial situation, but sometimes I wonder if she is telling me the truth. For instance, I never know what sort of gifts to give her because she has everything. How do I deal with this? Oscar You are intimidated. Understandable, but quite unnecessary. If she says she is not bothered by the fact that you are not as rich as she is, I say believe her instead of being afraid of shadows. For a girl like her, the simplest things are more important than the complicated ones you imagine would impress her. You cannot outdo her parents, not yet, anyway, so instead of thinking she wants you to buy her a gold chain, why not buy her an African handmade bracelet in her favourite colours? Why not take her favourite photo of herself and have it framed on a classy frame? She probably has

more gold chains than she knows what to do with them, so stop. Expose her to your kind of life. She probably knows all the menus of the most expensive restaurants in town, but has never gone to the less expensive ones. Find a tasteful one, take her there, treat her well, pay the bill. You do need to be the man, money or no money. Finally, her rich background should give you a big reason to work hard and make your own money because it is never manly to rely on a woman’s money. All the best. Dear Cindy, I met my girlfriend a year-and-ahalf ago after she had just broken up with her boyfriend. I love her very much and she claims she loves me. The other day, she told me that she still has feelings for her ex boyfriend and although they have not been in touch, she cannot love me the way she believes she should. Then she broke up with me. I love her very much and I want her back. What should I do? Ken Unfortunately, to her, you were

what is called a rebound boyfriend. Often, when people break up, they want to prove to themselves and to the person they broke up with that they can still operate without that person. These relationships hardly ever work and I am not surprised yours did not. What you should do is respect the fact that she was honest enough to tell you how she felt. Clearly, she feels guilty about leading you on, and perhaps she cannot see the relationship going anywhere. Admit you have been used, and you will neither be the ﬁrst nor the last. It is a learning curve. Lick your wounds and move on before you lose your dignity as well. Just do not make the same mistake of getting into a relationship with another woman just to prove something to yourself because a year down the line, you might end up hurting her the way you feel hurt right now. Let both the girl and yourself have closure; let her decide whether she wants to go back to her ex boyfriend or not, whether she wants to be alone, whether she wants to be with you, or with someone else. All the best.

The role of stage presence

N issa

ROCKER

ow and again, the worst band can have the best set at a concert because of its stage presence. It is often misconceived that a band has to have a killer guitar player who can shred down scales at the speed of sound; a drummer who can orchestrate the entire band, maintain rhythm and occasionally throw in an epic drum solo; a bass player who can actually play the bass guitar and a singer who can belt out heartfelt blues. This all sounds great on paper, but it doesn’t necessarily translate into a good performance on stage. Even the most gifted artists fail when it comes to generating a sensational stage presence that will make shows live in the memories of its fans. To have a good stage presence, it is im-

portant to dress the part. If your band plays soft music, then jeans and a plaid shirt with boots to go should do. If you play more aggressive music, then a sharp haircut with torn-up attire goes well with that. Of course, if you play heavy metal, you can’t be afraid to throw in a little make-up to complement the darker aspects of the music. Dress is everything. Without a good physical look, it is easy to be overlooked at a concert with more han 10 bands playing, and especially if you’re still trying to make a name. The same goes for the way you set up your stage. Many of our lo-

cal bands are rather stingy when it comes to investing in backboard banners at their shows. You go to pretty much any concert and find bands on stage with no back banner indicating who they are. They just play, with a plain wall providing the background. Simple things like the back banner are a great opportunity to promote your identity as a band, with your logo hanging behind you as you rock out. If you are better heeled and an afford to spend on your on-stage presence, consider throwing in some pyro and laser lights. Of course, the usual argument, “Not all bands can afford this stuff” comes up. However, remember that a disco ball works almost the same as having lights beaming into the crowd. Get a disco ball at that spot you play at every weekend and see just how much more the fans will get into it. Lastly, when you are on stage as a band, it is of great importance to get the crowd going. Your lead singer is a fundamental cog in ensuring this happens. He needs to engage the crowd and make them cheer, talk back and sing along. The other members of the band also play a major role in this by moving around, nodding vigorously along to certain riffs in the song and complementing each other’s performance. For instance, when it gets to the solo and the lead guitar player goes on his tangent, the rhythm and bass players can come together on stage and play together back-to-back. Remember how well Leon and Peter did this at Battle of the Bands? Stage presence is everything to a good performance. Once you master this, even as a young band trying to map out its way, you’ll be heading for superstardom in no time. By Issa Khalid @issa_khalid

PLAY OF THE WEEK FIRST THINGS FIRST BY FRIENDS ENSEMBLE PLAY OF THE WEEK – First Things First by Friends Ensemble, Mombasa It is comedy time in Mombasa. “The best way to inform your wife that she is the second wife is to keep her a secret and make sure the secret never comes knocking at the door.” That should be clue enough about what two best friends get into, trying to keep the two secrets away from each other. How does somebody end up having two wives, yet neither of the wives knows that, and at first, nor does the husband? The bizarre news is broken to the husband by George, his best man at both weddings. Follow the shenanigans of Peter and George as they try to keeps things normal. THEATRE PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK – GIBSON HAUSA Q. How long have you been acting and how did you get into acting? A. I have been acting for eight years. I was in college when I met a script writer who introduced me to the world of acting and as they say, the rest is history. Q. How would you rate theatre scene in Mombasa? A. On a scale of one to 10, unfortunately I would rate it at four. The artistes are doing their part by bringing shows, but the reception and attendance in Mombasa is rather wanting. We could definitely do with more people attending the shows. Q. What are the changes you would wish made in Mombasa theatre scene? A. Attendance, attendance, attendance. From the public to the government, I wish they would all do their part to support theatre and arts. Q. Tell us a little about your character in First Things First. A. I play George.

He has to break the news of the reappearance of the first wife, and also help Peter try to keep his wives from knowing about each other. Q. Which Kenyan actor would you like to emulate? A. Definitely Ashik Yusuf. He is a renowned thespian in Mombasa. Q. Have you ever played a woman in a play? A. No, but given the chance, I would. Q. Have you been on our TV screens yet? A. Unfortunately, I have not, but I would not say no if an opportunity to do so arose. Q. Where do you see your career in five years? A. Because at the moment I am challenging myself by producing stage shows, hopefully in five years I will be where I want to be as a producer – running the shows. Q. What else do you do apart from acting? A. I am an accountant and a personal trainer, Q. Married, single, searching? A. Single. Q. It has been a bad week for Kenya, with the loss of about 150 lives in Garissa. Given five minutes with the terrorists, what would you tell them? A.

‘THE INTERVIEW’ DVDS BALLOON-LAUNCHED INTO NORTH KOREA North Korean defectorturned-activist Lee Min-Bok said he had carried out four crossborder balloon launches since January – the latest one on Saturday.

South Korean activist said Wednesday he had launched thousands of copies of Hollywood film The Interview into North Korea by balloon, ignoring dire threats of reprisals from Pyongyang. The capital has labelled the Seth Rogen comedy about a fictional CIA plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim JongUn, a “wanton act of terror”. North Korean defector-turnedactivist Lee Min-Bok said he had carried out four cross-border balloon launches since January – the latest one on Saturday. On each occasion, he tied bundles carrying copies of The Interview and anti-Pyongyang leaflets to helium balloons, which he then released from the back of a truck. “I launched thousands of copies and about a million leaflets on Saturday, near the western part of the border,” Lee told AFP. All the launches were carried out at night with little or no advance publicity, given the

I LAUNCHED THOUSANDS OF COPIES AND ABOUT A MILLION LEAFLETS ON SATURDAY, NEAR THE WESTERN PART OF THE BORDER sensitivity on both sides. North Korea has long condemned the cross-border launches and demanded that the South Korean authorities step in to prevent them. Last October, North Korea border guards attempted to shoot down some balloons, triggering a brief exchange of heavy machine gun ﬁre between the two sides. Pyongyang issued some particularly stern warnings against any eﬀort to include copies of The Interview in the balloon bundles, saying that any challenge to

its “just physical countermeasures” will trigger “merciless retaliatory strikes”. It stands accused by the FBI of being behind a devastating cyber attack last November on Sony Pictures, the studio behind the movie. While appealing to activists to avoid overly provoking the North, Seoul insists their actions are protected by freedom of expression principles. Police have intervened to prevent some launches, but only when there is a prospect of North Korean retaliation that might endanger residents living

near the balloon launch site. Lee’s launches were done at night in remote locations, and though they were monitored by local police, no move was made to stop him. “The police would have no right to stop me from doing this,” Lee said. “I am always being tailed by police,” he added. A CNN camera crew that followed Lee on Saturday ﬁlmed him attaching the bundles to the balloons in the middle of the night, before releasing them into the darkness. The balloons are wholly at the

mercy of the prevailing winds, and it is impossible to determine how many will actually come down in North Korea. Seoul’s Uniﬁcation Ministry, which said it had only become aware of Lee’s latest launches in the past couple of days, declined to comment directly on his eﬀorts to send copies of the movie. “Our stance is that we continue to acknowledge the freedom of individuals to publicise their opinions,” a ministry spokesman said.

TIDAL: NOT FOR ALL AND DESTINED TO FAIL

o many people, Tidal and Aspiro were not familiar names, at least not as far as music is concerned. Once Shawn “Jay Z” Carter got involved and acquired Tidal from Aspiro, the narrative changed. Tidal is a musicstreaming platform that was launched by Aspiro in Sweden in October 2014. Tidal delivers high-deﬁnition music videos as well as high-quality audio. Barely six months later, Tidal picked up 580,000 paying users, with 17,000 in 31 countries paying for the premium service. It positioned itself as the perfect target for acquisition, plus, everything seemed right. Fed up with the poor returns they were getting from Tidal’s competitor, Spotify, artistes found the perfect platform to rebuild streaming. Jay Z acquired Tidal for $56 million (Sh5 billion) and quickly relaunched it, backed by numerous artistes. Therefore, Tidal is the ﬁrst major artiste-owned streaming platform. The recipe seems perfect, but Tidal looks like a platform ripe for doom, destined to fail once the hype wears out. Pundits have all but canned the idea. So why would a seemingly successful platform backed by artistes go down the tubes?

Pricing

BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT BUNDLE COMING SOON

BATMAN FANS ARE about to get a rare treat. With the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight bundle, fans will be able to buy a limited edition PlayStation 4,

customised with a Batman: Arkham Knight faceplate on its chassis as well as a custom DualShock 4 controller. Also included will be the ﬁnale of the Arkham Trilogy called Batman: Arkham Knight, as well as bonus gaming content, additional in-game missions and custom skins for the Batmobile as well as Batman. The bundle is expected to retail for around $400 (Sh36,000) when it arrives on June 23, although PlayStation is already taking pre-orders.

Jay Z argued that people are often willing to pay $6 (Sh552) for a bottle of water, so paying for Tidal was a fair bet. With this in mind, Tidal launched with the #TIDALforAll mantra. In the US, Tidal’s premium package costs $20 (Sh1,840) while in the UK, it costs £20 (Sh2,740). Tidal is more expensive than movie-streaming platforms like Netﬂix and Amazon. It is far more expensive than Spotify. The pricing has angered users, who say that they cannot aﬀord it on a monthly basis. Worse still, people have criticised the artistes involved, complaining that this is another scheme to

make themselves even richer than they already are. Tidal’s unique selling proposition? Higher quality content. Does it make sense to the common user? No. To enjoy high-quality music, you need high-quality headphones, which few people own. And interestingly, only exceptional audiophiles can discern the diﬀerences in quality. In the end, the pricing has made Tidal a niche service and left a gap that will likely be ﬁlled by the iTunes-Beats streaming hybrid due to launch in the near future.

Nothing new, it’s all hype

The new owners of Tidal do not realise that there’s a big diﬀerence between the streaming industry and the music industry. They believe that they can hype a streaming platform as easily as they hype their music. The reality is simple. The Internet world operates on innovation, not hype. Sadly, Tidal is not innovative. It might have a slightly tweaked business model, but Tidal and Spotify have a lot more in common than people imagine. Spotify has pointed out that the main problem with streaming is not technical, but rather, bureaucratic. Though Spotify has been short-changing artistes, it is fair to note that it has barely made any money, and has ploughed most of its earnings into growing the service, which is a sound approach. When Spotify pays the artistes, their record labels have already taken a significant chunk of that money, leaving them short-changed. Tidal’s “innovation” is simply to ask users for more money upfront, with no free tier. Tidal as a company might never make enough money to actually grow the service, since it will spend much of it paying oﬀ artistes, meaning that any innovation to the service might require additional funding, without guaranteeing returns. Tidal might also be forced to lock artistes in exclusive deals, which might mean a smaller distribution platform with

fewer paying users, and that might not be enough to guarantee its survival.

Apple, Google and others

Apple has been wildly successful with iTunes. Its devices all connect to the service. Apple bought Beats and is working on a streaming service. Google is not so far off. It owns Youtube, where you can pretty much get anything you are looking for. It also owns Android, which runs on a lot of devices, and with its Playstore, it has an extremely successful distribution platform. Both companies can afford to lose money on streaming in the long term without feeling the pinch, provided they keep selling devices. Then there are torrents and cyberlockers where you can get music and videos for free. When it comes to content, people opt for the more affordable solution, and free is currently leading by a huge margin. Tidal will almost certainly never raise the amount of resources the other platforms have at their disposal. So the writing is already on the wall. Tidal needs to change its approach and out-perform Google, Apple, Amazon, Spotify, torrents, cyberlockers, and others, and already, it is far behind concept-wise. Simply put, there will be far better and more affordable services out there than Tidal, and this will prove to be its Achilles heel. Tidal is going to evolve with time, which could lead to numerous changes. However, to survive, it will have to either tone down its ambitions significantly, or accept to operate with modest returns as a niche service or sell out to a major corporation which will likely revert it back its old self. Short of this, Tidal is already dead. By allkiumbukumuchuku@vi rn.net

« multimedia THE MOVIE: FOCUS

Rating: 8/10 Genre: Romantic Dark Comedy Release Date: February 27, 2015 Length: 1 hour 44 minutes Director: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa Main Actors: Will Smith as Nicky Spurgeon Margot Robbie as Jess Barrett Rodrigo Santoro as Rafael Gariga Gerald McRaney as Bucky Spurgeon/Owens Will Smith is back on screen in a ﬁlm genre

MUSIC REVIEW: RATING 6/10 that he is not particularly famous for – a heist. In Focus, he acts as Nicky Spurgeon, the leader of a team of con-artists running a highly profitable large-scale grifting business. When he meets Jess Barrett, a female rookie grifter, he is gets an opportunity to train someone new and share his exceptional skills. But soon the student becomes a master and brings his world tumbling down. The appeal of this movie lies largely in its fast and flashy action sequences that remind you of 2013’s Now You See Me. As exciting as the con jobs are to watch, you are constantly kept aware of the risky stakes that the grifters are involved in and how easily their house of cards could crumble. Will Smith’s somber portrayal of Nicky Spurgeon adds a very mature tone to the film, which makes it a dark comedy. Margot Robbie, who acts as Nicky’s assistant, Jess, proves her natural ability to play a lead actress role after catching our attention as Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street. However, the ending to the movie,seems rushed and unconvincing, forcing you to accept the earlier 90 minutes as the meat and bones of the whole film. By Sam Kiranga

THE GAMER

Most of the starter puzzles are fairly easy but the game gradually becomes diﬃcult and you can use these coins for hints. The

Artistes: Papa Dennis & Daddy Owen FOUNDATION was released only a week ago but has already received 120,000 views. Compare this with Bahati’s Lover, which has been around for twice that period but seems to have stalled at the 70,000 mark. What’s the allure of Foundation that made so many people want to view it within such a short time? The answer is, for the most part, made up of just two words: Moe Musa. This gifted videographer has worked with everybody who’s anybody in afro music including Davido, Ommy Dimpoz, Wizkid and even Tiwa Savage. He’s pretty good, as you see in the visual output of Foundation. He has a way with making simple sets — like the cathedral scene where Owen and Papa Dennis are composited— turn out so glamorous and classy. This he does through diﬀerent shades of lighting and editing while varying the number of still versus tracking shots. In my opinion, he picked up right from where Ogopa left things oﬀ when they were the kings of music videos in the region. But even as Moe makes Owen and Papa Dennis look so good, the audio producer at Mainswitch is not pulling his weight. The strong and saturated rhythm section full of layered snares and percussions is quintessentially Mainswitch, but the bass guitar used this time is boring and unvaried.

BONZA BONZA IS A PUZZLE game that can best be described as a cross between a crossword puzzle and Scrabble. The game gives you a clue, e.g. fruits, and from there you use the tiles provided to make words that ﬁt the clue. This is where Bonza’s challenge lies: you have to use these clues and the words provided to arrange the pieces to form words and complete the puzzle. The clues are varied and fun, and they include pop culture events, holidays and everyday things. For every puzzle you complete, the game rewards you with coins, which you can use to buy more puzzle packs, or a hint, should the need arise.

SONG: FOUNDATION

game also allows you to forgo using coins and can ask a friend for help by posting a picture on Facebook or Twitter. The game comes with a lot of content off the bat and can be downloaded for free with 40 puzzles – 10 from the starter puzzle pack and 30 in the first puzzle pack. Thereafter you can choose to buy puzzle packs for Sh90 each or at a discounted rate of four packs for Sh270. The game maintains its longevity for free users, though, by having a daily puzzle that is sometimes relevant to the day. For example, last Friday’s puzzle was themed around Easter. Bonza is Australian slang for good and overall, this game is just that, and definitely worth downloading. By Issa Khalid

@Issa_Khalid

Using looped bass riffs and sequences is so “Wesley Snippish” when you’re dealing with modern afro beat sequences. Papa Dennis’ first verse showcases a promising vocal potential right there. As for Daddy Owen, that sixsecond interval from 2:38 on the video timeline was a missed opportunity for him to shine in a simple, yet fantastic choreography. The day he learns how to dance will benchmark the next level in his career. By Brian Cliff @MrBrianCliff
