Mr Odinga said the disagreement between Treasury and the CoE, the group spearheading the writing of the new constitution and conducting civic education, was because he had been out of the country and there was nobody to bring the parties together.

FERRY ARRIVAL

Mau can ‘earn’ Kenya Sh117bn Country should expect to be paid for taking care of its forests By DAVE OPIYO

enya can reap Sh117 billion annually by exploiting services provided by the Mau Forest ecosystem. Recent studies indicate that the amount could increase but only if proper conservation measures were taken. The studies were conducted by among others the Kenya Forest Research Institute and United Nations Environmental Programme (Unep). Two years ago, this amount was pegged at Sh20 billion — income generated from key sectors that rely on the Mau ecosystem, including energy (hydropower production), agriculture and tourism. But now, environmentalists have factored in the money that the country could raise through the clean up of the atmosphere from the forest. Unep’s spokesperson Nick

Nutall says in future, developing countries should expect to receive huge payments from their industrialised counterparts just for conserving their forests. “Currently, the services that can be delivered by the Mau Forest complex are said to be worth $1.5 billion (Sh117 billion) ...but when we continue to conserve our forests, this will deﬁnitely go up,” he said. But if we fail to conserve our ecosystems, developing countries will not to beneﬁt from these funds, added Mr Nutall.

Water tower

He spoke at the Unep launch of a report: “Dead Planet; Living Planet” which makes a case for repairing the world’s damaged ecosystems. Kenya has been striving to restore some of its ecosystems including the Mau Forest considered to be the largest water tower in the country. The country had lost more than 100,000 hectares of forest cover in the area in 15 years due to illegal encroachment. In a bid to conserve the 400,000-hectare forest, the government initiated a programme to evict those illegally residing in the Mau.

Oﬀ-loading of the new ferries started yesterday at Mombasa port with the first one, mv Likoni, being lowered from another vessel, mv Beluga Singapore, mid-morning. The second ferry, mv Kwale, is expected to be assembled from today. “After oﬀ-loading, the ferries will be tested and coxswains trained awaiting their commissioning in less than two weeks,” said Kenya Ferry Services managing director Musa Hassan Musa.

This is an upgrade from the three old ferries mv Nyayo, which has a capacity to carry 1,200 passengers and 60 cars, while both mv Kilindini and mv Harambee, can accommodate 1,440 passengers and 52 cars. According to Mr Musa the three old vessels mv Kilindini and mv Harambee would be taken for major repairs at the Kenya Ports Authority dockyard as soon as the new ones start operating.

Scores of residents of a Somali town near the Kenyan border are fleeing their homes due to fears of a clash between fighters loyal to two militia groups. Bulahawo Town, just two kilometres from the Kenyan border, is controlled by the anti-government al Shaabab group. However, residents say the pro-government Ahlu-Suna Waljamaa militia has been moving fighters into the area from nearby Dolow Town. Some of fleeing residents are crossing into Kenya while others are heading for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Although North Eastern PC James ole Serian confirmed that the Somalis were abandoning their homes, he denied that they were crossing into Kenya. Mr Serian said the displacement was on Somali soil. The groups are fighting for control of the strategic town located in Somalia’s Gedo.

The tension in the area followed reports that forces loyal to Ahlu-sunna and some from Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government are attempting to dislodge al Shabaab. “We are fleeing the town now as we fear a heavy battle is likely,” said Farah Dodi, a resident of Bulahawo, on phone. At least 500 Somali government ﬁghters recently underwent training in neighbouring Ethiopia and there are reports that they could join the battle for Bulahawo.

Rising tension

The rising tension has made local residents in Mandera Town to brace for a possible spillover of the fighting while police are on high alert to prevent any infiltration. Al Shabaab has regularly accused Kenya of interfering in the affairs of Somalia and threatened to attack it. The militia has carried out its threats on a number of occasions and last week attacked Dadajabula area in Wajir District, wounding five people.

2010 CITIZEN’S ALTERNATIVE BUDGET

High cost of food tops public agenda Economic institute reads its proposals ahead of the annual Budget next week By JOY WANJA

he pockets cannot not get drier than they already are. These are the sentiments of 60year old Hannington Kang’ethe when he attended the launch of the 2010 Citizen’s Alternative Budget by the Institute of Economic Aﬀairs. And as he awaits the reading of the real thing — Kenya’s annual Budget — by Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta next Thursday, his burning desire is to see the prices of basic commodities go down and

not soar like they have done in the last year. “Do not tax us higher than you already are,” Mr Kang’ethe urged Mr Kenyatta ahead of the reading of the 2010/2011 Budget. Prices of key consumer goods, including milk, bread and cooking fat have nearly doubled in the past three years, a concern Mr Kang’ethe cites is dangerous for an agricultural country striving towards attaining food security. Though he lives in his own house and both his daughters are married, Mr Kangethe said he had spent considerably more money on his house budget compared to the same period last year. “I spend about Sh5,000 on food per

��

month, Sh1,200 on transport, but the expenses seem to be sky-rocketing every month,” he said. “I used to spend half that amount just the other day.” Mr Kang’ethe would perhaps, have been more impressed last week, with various civil society organisations under the coordination of Hakijamii. They held a public forum at Ufungamano House, Nairobi, to present their proposals to the public as well as hold a discussion on the budgetmaking process.

‘Use Kenya Army in road construction. This will reduce the amount of money spent on foreign companies’ 7042869R.pdf

The list contained what they termed as “people-friendly” prices for essential goods as follows: Maize flour, Sh40 for a two-kilogramme packet; sugar, Sh30 a kilogramme; paraffin, Sh25 a litre and Sh20 for a 400 gramme loaf of bread. For now, that remains wishful thinking. Last year, the government announced a subsidy scheme aimed at lowering the cost of maize flour for the urban poor, but the scheme collapsed amid claims of corruption. Yesterday at Laico Regency in Nairobi, Mr Kang’ethe said of the institute’s proposal to reduce tax on airtime: “It is an excellent idea. This will help us communicate more often, both for business and pleasure.” He is one of the 17.5 million subscribers who own a mobile handset — a huge rise from the 200,000 Kenyans who had them AM expected to gain from in6/3/10 2000 —5:47:15 who are

the proposal if Mr Kenyatta adopts it. Mobile airtime tax is charged at 10 per cent, in addition to the 16 per cent VAT. According to the 2010 Economic Survey last month, the economy is expected to grow by between four and five per cent this year, up from a low of 2.6 per cent registered last year. But the calculations are not reflected in Mr Kang’ethe’s personal monthly budget, says the land commission agent in Nairobi. Yesterday, Mr Kang’ethe offered many other proposals after listening keenly to the citizens’ alternative budget. “Use the Kenyan Army in road construction and expansion. This will reduce the amount of money spent on foreign companies to develop our transport system,” he said adding that this would inculcate a sense of patriotism among Kenyans. 6/3/10 story 3:53:33 PM 8 Related on Page

try and there was nobody to bring the parties together. He added that the government was determined that the civic education should be done satisfactorily so that Kenyans can make an informed decision at the August 4 referendum. “Given the significance of sticking to the timeline of this exercise and the significance attached to the review process, the government has released Sh553 million to finance the activities of the Committee of Experts from now to the end of the review process,” Mr Odinga said. Saying that the money row had caused public anxiety, Mr Odinga

30 The days that had initially been set aside for civic education

said CoE was satisﬁed with the Sh553 million. Asked about complaints by CoE that the Ministry’s of Finance’s paid the Government printer to publish copies of the proposed constitution at more than Sh100 a copy yet the committee was doing it at Sh27 a copy elsewhere, Mr Odinga said “this is an internal matter”. He also said there was no problem with his oﬃce giving Sh90 million for civic education and Ministry of Justice Sh10 million, since “all the money comes from Treasury”. Mr Odinga said delayed funding for civic education will not affect the exercise as it has been going on smoothly and that Kenyans were also enlightened on the document, having been involved since the Bomas National Constitutional Conference. “Kenyans know a lot about the con-

stitution. We are not starting from scratch. The Yash Pal Ghai team did a lot of civic education. The proposed constitution is not entirely diﬀerent from Bomas draft. We just want to tell the public what is new,” the PM said. Mr Ghai headed the defunct Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC). The PM said civic education could continue past the 30 days that had been allocated under the Constitution of Kenya Review Act. “Unaweza kutafuna na kusakata rhumba (You can chew and also dance to rhumba music),” he said in Kiswahili. The civic education was to start on May 7 when the proposed constitution was published by the Attorney General. He said the government was prepared for civic education, but there has been some misunderstanding among players as they have not been talking to each other. He said the CoE had been given authority by government to continue getting materials from the Government Printer, adding that a number of donors had also released money for civic education. The row over funding for civic education has been going on for days with civil society and some political leaders accusing Treasury of sabotage by failing to release the money. The CoE had also vowed to continue with the exercise despite the cash shortage. Last weekend, Finance Permanent Secretary Joseph Kinyua said Sh100 million had been released to the CoE while Sh230 million had been used to print copies of the proposed law. He said it had been agreed that out of the Sh1.2 billion CoE budget, the Government would ﬁnance this main activity through the Government Printer and that Treasury had already provided Sh400 million. The rest, Mr Kinyua said, is fac-

Court urged to dismiss inmates’ case By NATION Correspondent

The referendum court has been asked to dismiss a case seeking orders to allow prisoners to take part in the public poll. The Interim Independent Electoral Commission says the “prayers sought by the convicts are now matters of academic discourse as it cannot reopen any registration of voters until the referendum is conducted”. And in the event that the court compels it to reopen registration, it would amount to breaching the very law from which it derives its jurisdiction. IIEC was responding to a case filed by Mombasa’s Shimo la Tewa inmates, through Ms Priscilla Nyokabi of Kituo Cha Sheria. It challenges the inmates’ exclusion from voter registration.

aggrieved by Justices Joseph Nyamu, Roselyne Wendoh, and Mathew Emukule’s decision. They said the kadhi courts provided an essential dispute resolution mechanism but a vacuum had been or was likely to be created.

Serious crisis

“Should the judgment be executed, it would be impossible to reverse its consequences since it has already resulted in a serious crisis of confidence in the kadhi courts, and

which can only be restored if the orders sought are issued,” they said. The petitioners are Mr Yahya Muthaura, Mr Adam Indetie, Sheikh Hassan Mohammed, Mr Hamisi Mwanguwa, Mr Malyun Omar, Mr Juma Hassan, Ms Farida Hussein, and Mr Harrison Waweru. Delivering their ruling in a matter filed by Rev Jesee Kamau and 26 others, the three judges said the inclusion of the courts in the supreme law of the country was illegal as favoured one religion.

Maurice Ochieng, a member of the caucus, said when he addressed journalists at the Yes Kenyatta International Conference Centre secretariat.

“We have joined hands as young leaders to dispel the notion that the youth of this country have for years been sidelined and that we have no say in the leadership of our beloved country,” the group said in a statement. Kenyans, they added, have waited for long for a new constitution, and “this is the time for them to get it. “Lives have been lost and there has been bloodshed. People have been maimed in pursuit of a new constitution. “The journey to a new constitutional dispensation, good governance, and an end to the culture of impunity has been long, tedious, and vigorous, and we can’t aﬀord to let go of this chance.” They accused leaders opposed to the proposed constitution of doing so for their own selﬁsh interests, claiming that some wanted to hide their dirty past.

The restructuring, he said, would pave the way for county governments to take charge on issues related to security, peace, and other duties that were under their dockets. Kenyans did not actively take part in drafting of the current constitution, unlike in the proposed one, Mr Kitonga added.

he theft of money meant for internal refugees was uncovered in an audit by the Ministry of Finance. The audit was conducted eight months ago and focused on 22 districts where people displaced by the post-election violence had camped. It was from the ﬁndings that the Criminal Investigations Department moved in to probe senior oﬃcials of the provincial administration. The Finance Ministry deployed auditors in Narok South, Nakuru Town, Naivasha, Molo, Kipkelion, Kericho, Buret, Sotik, Uasin Gishu, and Koibatek districts. Other areas targeted were Nandi South, Nandi Central, Nandi North, Nandi East, Marakwet, West Pokot, Kwanza, Turkana South, Turkana Central, Trans Nzoia East, and Trans Nzoia West. Auditors questioned the alleged payments to refugees and procurements done without following laid down procedures. The audit team had been mandated to establish if there were any genuine IDPs who had yet to be resettled, if funds were disbursed to genuine IDPs, and if proper records of the funds were kept. Further, they were also to obtain copies of approved registers used in the payment of the funds and establish if there were houses constructed for IDPs. Out of the Sh1.44 billion released by the

Treasury, Sh103.1 million was unaccounted for by September last year. According to the findings, some of the most affected districts were Narok, Nakuru North, Molo, Kericho, and Bureti. In Molo, the audit team could not trace Sh41.7 million while another Sh5.1 million could not be accounted for out of the Sh364.8 million received by the district. Some of the money, the report says, was paid to IDPs who had not been profiled. There were also cases of double payments while others received cash without showing their IDs. Some beneficiaries witnessed their own payments and the signatures of witnesses were similar to those of the recipients. In some cases, passport size photographs of females were attached to forms of male beneficiaries and vice versa.

The High Court has extended an order barring the Attorney General from prosecuting an MP over a Sh40 million tender scandal 10 years ago. Justice Jeanne Gacheche told the AG to ﬁle a reply in three weeks over Naivasha’s John Mututho’s case. At the same time, the Kenya AntiCorruption Commission ﬁled its response narrating how investigations

into the case were carried out. The anti-graft team, through Mr Ben Murei, says the investigation was ﬁrst carried out by the police before it took over. It named Mr Mututho in the alleged payment of Sh41.4m million as a purported refund to Kenyatta National Hospital for the supply of bedside lockers. Mr Murei said after investigations, the ﬁle was handed over to the AG for prosecution.

Mr Mututho then moved to the High Court and stopped the hearing of the criminal case. He said the anti-graft agency did not prosecute him in the anti-corruption court because the case could not stand. “This at worst is a civil matter and stands no chance of success in the anti-corruption court,” he said. The MP said he did not participate in either the tendering or importation of the bedside lockers but KNH and M/S Countryside Suppli-

ers Limited — a company allegedly associated with him — did the transaction. He said the ﬁrm was not investigated or prosecuted yet it is a registered liability company with powers to sue or be sued. “Kacc has directed all its malicious venom towards me and has not investigated or prosecuted M/S Countryside Suppliers as required by law,” he said. The case will be heard on November 22.

A reinsurance ﬁrm has appealed against a court’s directive that it renew its former managing director’s contract. The Kenya Reinsurance Corporation is seeking to stop the enforcement of the orders issued in favour of Ms Eunice Mbogo. Kenya-Re says the former chief executive was aware of the decision not to renew her contract and accuses her of misleading the court. Lady Justice Joyce Khaminwa on April 12, ruled that Ms Mbogo was to remain in oﬃce until the case was completed. She also ordered that her contract be renewed, in accordance with the earlier employment terms.

The move, if adopted, is expected to affect 17.5 million Kenyans who own mobile handsets. However, another proposal wants airtime tax to be used to ﬁnance healthcare. In November last year, the head of disease prevention and control in the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, Dr Willis Akhwale, suggested that Kenyans be made to pay more for airtime and air travel as one of the innovative ways to raise Sh7.5 billion needed to make the country malaria-free by 2017. In the Information and Communication Technology sector, IEA asked that resources be allocated to support the development of ﬁbre infrastructure. Integration of ICT in the education curriculum was also suggested to increase awareness among pupils and students. In the agricultural sector, the proposed Citizen’s Budget urged the government to support small holders to market their farm produce and help to increase land under irrigation for the country to achieve food security.

The suggestion was part of the 2010 Citizen’s Alternative Budget unveiled yesterday

Ms Mbogo was appointed MD on April 12, 2007, for three years and sought a renewal of her contract on October 6, 2009. But the firm now says she was aware of the decision not to renew her contract and was part of the board meeting that made the decision. Lady Justice Khaminwa’s orders were not implemented and Ms Mbogo went back to court to sue for contempt. The application was ruled in her favour and Kenya-Re fined Sh1 million for disobeying court orders. The company says that if the orders are implemented, it will face “unquantifiable” loss. The application will be heard on June 17 by Court of Appeal judges.

AFLATOXIN ALERT

Maize prices drop to Sh1,500 By OLIVER MATHENGE

he government has reduced the price at which it buys maize from farmers to Sh1,500. Agriculture assistant minister Kareke Mbiuki denied claims by his colleagues from the Meru region that the government was buying maize at Sh1,500 in Eastern Province as compared to Sh2,300 in Rift Valley. He also denied claims that the move to buy contaminated maize from farmers was to pave way for duty-free maize into the country.

Viwandani acting chief, Jane Waigwa said the fire started from a house in Donholm slum where children had been left alone. Although the fire fighters were quick to respond, they could not access the scene due to congestion of houses. The cause of the fire was not established.

After being pressed by his six colleagues, Mr Mbiuki addressed a press conference at Parliament. “There is no place that the government will buy the maize at Sh2,300,” he said.

CDF HEALTH CENTRES

Political meddling takes centre stage In this second and ﬁnal instalment of the CDF-funded dispensaries, the NATION looks at the fate of these healthcare projects in the central and eastern parts of Kenya By NATION Team

olitical interference is one of the key reasons many health projects built by the CDF kitty have turned into white elephants. Nothing illustrates this clearer than the case of Kangu dispensary in Mwea, which is still idle eight years after it was constructed. The Sh2 million project is now in a deplorable state. Overgrown grass covers the compound. The dispensary was constructed by the former constituency development fund committee after villagers complained that they had were suﬀering due to lack of a health facility in the area. They pleaded with then Mwea MP Alfred Nderitu to help, and the lawmaker prevailed upon the CDF committee to fund the project. However, when a new CDF team was constituted after Mr Nderitu lost the 2007 polls, the project was starved of cash to equip it. Now chances of it opening to serve the people look remote. Area councillor Sammy Nyamu said: “No funds are being made available since

‘We are being blamed for nothing. We have played our part and it is up to the government to open the dispensary’ 7041518R.pdf 6/3/10 2:01:17 PM

the new team took over leadership.” The dispensary, he says, was a priority as villagers travelled many kilometres to seek medical services at Kimbimbi subdistrict hospital. “Some villagers die before reaching the hospital and that was why we wanted to have the dispensary, but retrogressive politics is messing up everything,” he says. He criticised leaders who liked to politicise projects at the expense of poor villagers. But CDF chairman Moses Waweru denied that his team had denied the dispensary money. He said recently his office gave out Sh150,000 to equip the dispensary but that nothing had been done.

Being blamed

“We are being blamed for nothing. We have played our part and it is up to the government to officially open the dispensary so that villagers can get services.” However, area medical officer of health Jorum Muraya said Kangu, like other dispensaries in the area, was surrounded by controversies. “We have equipment and drugs for the dispensary, but it is becoming difficult to access it because of politics.” Dr Muraya recalled how a team of medical officers who had gone to open the dispensary found its gate firmly locked. “There was no one to hand over the facility to us. Officers also found the dispensary in a pathetic state and without a septic tank,” he said. Indeed, a substantial amount of CDF cash in Central Province has gone to con-

struction of health centres. In the larger Kirinyaga district, Sh30 million has been spent on new dispensaries. Out of the 25 projects initiated, 22 have been completed and are offering services to residents. But some dispensaries lack adequate medical equipment while others have no staff because they were politically established to reward voters. “There are so many dispensaries in the area, but they deliver poor services because there are no facilities and they do not have enough staff,” a resident, Mr Muriuki Kago, said.

“So many projects were started. That is why some projects are listed as on-going while the completed ones are experiencing shortage of nurses,” one CDF manager, Ms Mary Kabuga, said. Another CDF manager, Ms Elena Muthoni, said that Riakithiga and JoshuaMbai dispensaries in Gichugu urgently needed staﬀ. District development oﬃcer John Mbugua said dispensary projects were crucial as scores of villagers were travelling long distances to seek medical attention. But in Mathira constituency, huge

More health centres are to be constructed in constituencies using funds from the Sh22 billion Economic Stimulus Programme. Construction of the model health facilities has already started in 193 constituencies countrywide in the programme expected to cost Sh1.5 billion. The funds are part of the ambitious Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP), which has yet to take off in some government ministries, with some being accused of failing to spend money allocated to them. Mr Isaac Rinjuni, the ESP chairman at the Public Health and Sanitation Ministry said his ministry had released the money for the construction of model health facilities in 193 constituencies. It means about 17 constituencies of the total 210 countrywide are yet to start the programme. Each of the constituencies is to receive Sh8.1 million, which is about half the total construction costs. The balance will be released when the construction is completed, Mr Rinjuni said. The announcement comes soon after Treasury permanent secretary Joseph Kinyua named the Health and Education ministries as some of those that have yet to spend billions of shillings allocated to them. Some of the money had been allocated

to the ministries under the ESP to speed up development. Construction and equipping of a model health facility in every constituency was a first step in the three-year programme aimed at upgrading healthcare facilities countrywide at a cost of Sh4 billion. Selection criteria for the construction of model health facilities included upgrading existing functional dispensaries. The facilities were to be identified by stakeholders while those chosen must have no less than two acres of land. Additionally, they should be able to serve a population of 10,000 people using a well-established outpatient section. The Ministry of Public Works is expected to provide suitable designs for the health centres, which includes an inpatient section comprising of a maternity wing, a children’s ward, and the attendant utilities and facilities. To ensure that the facilities are sustained, health centre management

committee members elected by the community will be trained to be responsible for the health sector services fund, under the ministry, and other development partners who channel money to the operations of the facilities. The ministry will also form project monitoring and evaluation committees at the national, provincial, and district levels to conduct quarterly monitoring visits. Healthcare reform is part of two other projects Treasury has earmarked to carry out in stages that involve construction of jua kali sheds and wholesale and fresh produce markets. Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta (pictured) launched some of the projects in Kangundo and Narok South constituencies recently. Mr Kenyatta is expected to give direction on the Economic Stimulus Programme when he presents his second Budget in Parliament on Thursday next week. He had launched the stimulus package as a short- to medium-term programme to jump-start the economy towards long term growth and development. — Samuel Siringi

CDF HEALTH CENTRES

as white elephants dot the landscape amounts of money allocated to health facilities have ended up with incomplete buildings dotting the area. According to the Mathira CDF report for the 2007/8 year, only one of the 13 dispensaries allocated money was in use by the start of this year. Users of Kiarithaini Dispensary in Iriaini West Location had to raise Sh500,000 to top up a CDF allocation of Sh732,000 as well as construct three additional consultation rooms. The works contrast sharply with those at Kangocho Dispensary, where

and clinical officers. “We already have a shortage of 187 nurses in government facilities across Buuri and Imenti North districts,” said Dr James Gitonga, the local medical officer of health. In Nithi constituency, the local CDF has already spent Sh12 million on 21 health centres, according to CDF chairman Genesio Kithinji. The constituency, which is the most populous in Eastern Province, has two districts served by a single referral hospital. More than Sh10.3 million has been spent in putting up dispensaries in Nyeri Town constituency but the intended beneficiaries are yet to enjoying their services.

Sh580,000 allocated to construct three rooms, but only one is half way done. Another botched health project is the Kianjogu Dispensary in Kirimukuyu Location, which was allocated Sh100,000 for renovation. Although the allocation was on the lower side, the project committee decided to buy materials — including sand and a stone-cutting machine that is now going to waste at the site. At Gikumbo in Magutu Location, Sh150,000 was allocated to lay the foundation. The bulk of the funds was used to purchase construction materials, only for it to later emerge that the land earmarked for the project was owned by a church.

Gatondo Dispensary was awarded Sh250,000 to build a laboratory. Although all the money was used, only the incomplete concrete structure was done. A lot more money will be required to equip the laboratory while another major hurdle will be the personnel to man it. Between 2006 and 2008, residents of Mjini slums in North Imenti constituency had become used to shocking scenes of dogs and stray pigs devouring bodies interred at the neighbouring Meru district hospital cemetery.

million perimeter fence by the CDF. This is part of the more than Sh22 million spent on health since the programme was rolled out in 2003. During the period, nine new dispensaries were started, especially in the remote areas of Buuri and Imenti North districts that share the funds where poor rural access roads hindered speedy access to medical care. According to North Imenti projects ofﬁcer James Thuranira, seven existing facilities have also been improved. But the new ones may not beneﬁt the residents as yet due to3:37:40 a shortage 7043514R.pdf 6/3/10 PM of nurses

The rise in the number of dispensaries has not been matched with an increase in equipment and staff since they were initiated by politicians and communities without consulting the Ministry of Health. A ministry official said due to their political nature, the design of some dispensaries does not conform to set standards. In Murang’a District, lack of staff has been cited as a major hindrance crippling health centres. Some now charge fees such as card fee — Sh20 or Sh30 — to be able to cater for their day-to-day maintenance. Residents also complain of drugs shortages.

May justice be our shield and defender

he reported intimidation of a judge, ostensibly by some interested parties allied to one of the contestants in an election petition, is a most deplorable development. We must take as true the complaint by Lady Justice Kalpana Rawal that she has been receiving ‘‘threatening, offensive and untrue messages’’ since May 30, an event that has forced her to withdraw from hearing the petition any longer. After all, judges do not disqualify themselves from hearing cases on a whim or because they would rather be doing something else. We do not know the content of the text messages, but we assume, and hope, that the police do, so that they can launch immediate investigations. This is absolutely necessary so that those found to be guilty of this gross offence can be punished in an appropriate fashion, and in that way deter others who may be tempted to try and subvert the ends of justice through offensive and cowardly ruse. The reason why such heinous activity is to be discouraged are many and varied. Justice, as our National Anthem says, should be our shield and defender. And it is, indeed, our shield, for without a structured method of defending the weak from the strong, the law-abiding citizens from the crooks, and the wronged from their assailants. It is patently ridiculous to claim that because for some considerable period the Judiciary has been under assault over claims of incompetence, corruption and many other ills, we can dispense with it. If we tried to, we would shortly be inhabiting a world where, as the philosopher Thomas Hobbes put it, ‘‘life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short’’. The essence of the rule of law is that we all ought to have an umbrella under which we can shelter from the rain and the sun. Should there be a couple of holes in that umbrella, we do not simply throw it away. On this particular petition, one of the parties feels aggrieved and seeks justice. He feels he was cheated of victory during the 2007 elections, and so he went to court to seek justice. The onus is now on the one whose election is being challenged to use the same means to establish the truth, and thus exonerate himself. There can be no short-cut. Now, if mischief is allowed to play a hand in this procedure, how can the truth ever be established? It is upon the police to take this matter very seriously indeed. Trying to intimidate the judicial officers is just as bad as trying to corrupt them, and should be treated with equal, if not greater, severity.

Police still must answer

he ongoing effort to restore sanity on our roads will for a while inconvenience commuters who rely on public transport. But it is a welcome and necessary move that hopefully will reduce the horrendous death toll from traffic accidents. The shame is that the police were content to sit with arms folded as the murderous road culture that had been tamed by the Michuki Rules crept back. It did not require a presidential edict for officers of the traffic department and other branches of the police force to do the job they are employed to do. Those guilty of the dereliction of duty that has caused the death of so many on our roads must be held to account. The statistics speak for themselves: At least 1,000 people have died and many more maimed in road accidents in the first four months of this year. At this rate, we can expect at least 5,000 deaths by the end of the year. Who will end this madness?

REAL ACTION NEEDED LUCY ORIANG’

Fury is ﬁne, but when shall we take charge of our lives?

ESTERDAY’S BACK PAGE headline in the Nation, “Anger over rise in road carnage”, was a masterpiece of understatement. According to police reports, at least 1,000 people died in road accidents from January to April. And 10 died every day in May. We are either totally reckless and have little regard for life, or we have learned the hard way that the bad guys always win and the rest can go hang. It has also been a week when we got rare tough talk from President Kibaki, who, in his Madaraka Day speech, railed at the police for failing to stop accidents and death on our roads. The touts, matatu drivers and their employers were not listening. In television interviews, many were in a jovial mood, not even bothering to conceal their identities. They gave the impression that they were used to such fighting language, quickly followed by business as usual. More than 10,000 drivers are reportedly arrested and taken to court every month. The punishment meted out must be more of a slap on the wrist than a pain in the backside. Besides, there is little talk of accountability of the owners of the vehicles, many of them prominent Kenyans who may well include police officers. Road carnage is a story we have lived with for far too long. We have the data. We know the faces behind the statistics. We have been told that the traffic police commandant wants more money to spend on things such as Alcoblow and whatever else might clear reckless drivers off our roads. What the President et al do not appear to have taken into consideration is the fact that we love to live dangerously. It is like we have been programmed to have little or no expectations of the leadership, and have lost the hope of gaining

control over our situation. We can invest in equipment and jam police cells with drivers and conductors with a death wish, but we cannot run away from the fact that our wounds are self-inflicted. What is to be done with the passengers who get into ramshackle vehicles and keep mum as the crew break the road rules blatantly — or the drivers of private vehicles who will cut corners even as traffic police conveniently look the other way? We have never been able to wrap our minds around the mayhem on our roads for one simple reason: The public transport industry is a reflection of the society that we are. We are a suicidal nation — from the way we do politics, to the way we socialise and conduct business, and even in our private lives. OUR PEOPLE APPEAR HELL-BENT on making their lives as chaotic as possible, on and off road. From worshipping godforsaken politicians to young women who think little of exposing themselves to HIV and Aids and then pop the emergency contraception pill into their mouths like sweets, we are determined to gamble with our lives every day. With all due respect to Mr President and the families that live with the anguish of losing loved ones so needlessly, we cannot hope to rein in chaos on the road when our politics is so chaotic. Just for a while, when John Michuki was in charge of transport, we got a glimpse of what life could be if we played

by the rules. We should have cloned him when we still could. President Kibaki should get ﬂaming angry more often. The problem is that his bouts of temper do not last, and we quickly lapse into our bad old ways. Some we appear unable to shed altogether, like letting the political class run rings around us. Since the President has a legacy to think of, here are some nasty habits he might also want us to ditch: Fear of thinking independently: This presents itself as the ethnic card, and is probably going to be a hard nut to crack, but you really must encourage us to get out of the herd mentality, which means that you often can predict, without a word being said, where the people of which region and which alliance will vote on national issues. Tell them that no one will be spared should Kenya go to the dogs. The blood shed will be one colour — red. The art of doublespeak: We seem to be especially fond of saying one thing and doing the opposite. We say “yes” during the day and quietly give the thumbs-up to “no” during the night. It is too confusing for ordinary citizens, and might lead to the herd stampeding — and destroying everything you have worked for. Dirty tricks: You must be aware of the cash crisis at the secretariat of the Committee of Experts and the likely impact it will have on your pet project — the constitution — which some in your kitchen Cabinet appear to view as a political threat. You might need to get really angry again if the purse-strings are to be undone enough for civic education to take place eﬀectively.

TOO MANY UNTRUTHS ANYANG’ NYONG’O

This is what will happen to provincial administrators

HILE ADDRESSING THE residents of Western Province recently, Higher Education minister William Ruto is reported to have said that “provincial jobs will go” once the new constitution comes into eﬀect. It is true that the provincial administration as we know it today will give way to a new form of government at the national and local level which is more accountable, responsive to the popular will and not at all authoritarian as the present system has been since independence. In fact, even the British colonialists who created this system don’t have it in their own country; the British form of government is much more devolved than what they imposed on us. What is not true, however, is that those who are currently working in the provincial administration as civil servants will lose their jobs in the civil service. On the contrary, they will be deployed into new civil service positions in line with the requirements of the new constitution.

Provincial administrators will not lose their positions under new constitution.

ants will not lose their jobs, article 262, which is the Sixth Schedule dealing with transitional and consequential provisions, states very clearly, in part 2 (6) that “except to the extent that this constitution expressly provides to the contrary, all rights and obligations, however arising, of the Government or the Republic and subsisting immediately before the effective date shall continue as rights and obligations of the national government or the Republic under this constitution.” Holders of existing offices are fully protected when the new constitution comes into effect. It is stated very clearly that ‘‘a person who immediately before the effective date (of the coming into being of this constitution) held or was acting in an office established by the former constitution shall on the effective date continue to hold or act in that office under this Constitution for the unexpired period, if any, of the term of the person.” This particular section of the transitional provisions goes into great details regarding how to absorb offices, functions and roles provided for under the old constitution into the new one. Where functions, roles and offices are abolished, individuals who performed

AFTER ALL, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED to civil servants in the colonial administration who superintended the transition from colonialism to independence. Speaking in Eldoret, Mr Ruto said there was no room for administrators in the proposed constitution ‘‘as counties would be run through a council-like structure’’. It is diﬃcult to comprehend what he meant as we have elected councillors at the moment while assistant chiefs, chiefs, district commissioners and provincial commissioners work as civil servants. The new constitution does not intend to abolish the civil service nor will politicians run matters without the state. On the contrary, the new civil service will become more accountable to elected leaders at the county and national levels. To ensure that the present civil serv-

those roles and functions will have to be retooled into performing new roles and functions. After all, it takes a lot of resources and time to train managers and public administrators. It would take a very foolish government to do away with highly trained human resources simply for the sake of implementing a new constitution. It is much better to retrain what exists and then replace them with new recruits as the old ones retire or die. The main strategy of the NO campaign seems to be to create fear and uncertainty among Kenyans regarding our future under the new constitution. The provincial administration is no exception. If the No campaigners can convince the provincial administrators that they will lose their jobs, then they are obviously going to vote NO at the referendum. BUT MR RUTO WAS IN NAIVASHA WHen the Select Committee of Parliament was putting a stamp of approval on the Transitional and Consequential Clauses. He fully concurred with the manner in which the positions of the provincial administrators were secured. Later in Parliament, as we debated the draft constitution, no amendment was moved regarding this Sixth Schedule; not even by Ruto himself. How come that this now becomes a major weakness in the constitution? During the 1988 mlolongo election when short lines were declared to be longer than long lines, and those defeated were declared winners by the Kanu regime, Mr Mwai Kibaki was so disgusted with the blatant rigging that he warned that “even when one wants to lie, he or she should lie intelligently!” I hope in this campaign, those bent on telling lies at least do so intelligently. Prof Nyong’o is the minister for Mdical Services and co-convener, the YES Campaign.

P OLICING THE P OLICE TENNILLE DUFFY

Oversight body sorely needed

HILE THE PACE OF POLICE reforms in Kenya might be slower than many would like, it is heartening to see the Police Reform Implementation Commission at work and in the public arena. The Commission is charged with coordinating the implementation of some 200 recommendations made in the report of the task force on police reforms headed by Mr Justice Philip Ransley. One important recommendation was the need to establish a body for independent police oversight. Recently, the commission, along with various stakeholders from government, police and civil society, met to discuss a draft Bill for an Independent Police Oversight Authority. The workshop, held over two days in Nairobi, was organised in partnership with the commission and The Usalama Reform Forum (TURF) — a civil society forum in Kenya dedicated to reforms in the security sector. What is promising about such diverse players coming together to discuss a vital aspect of police reform is that it indicates

that reform can truly be a consultative process with room for all voices to be heard and considered. One of the hallmarks of democratic policing is that the police are held to account for their actions — something that has certainly not happened in the past as Kenyans suffer under a culture of impunity. The ills that plague the police are well known — corruption and human rights abuses are some of the most serious among them, and a general level of poor service delivery to the public. The report of the task force recognised that oversight of the police was sorely needed. ALTHOUGH THE POLICE NEED TO Set up internal mechanisms to monitor and sanction the actions and misconduct of individuals, this needs to be complemented by a strong and effective external, independent police oversight. The proposed constitution talks of an authority that will be staffed by civilians and that will handle complaints against the police. When finalised, the Bill should ensure

that the authority has a strong mandate, to not only monitor but to actively investigate the police — whether as a consequence of a complaint from the public, or as a result of a report of death or other serious allegation at the hands of a police oﬃcer. The government needs to ensure that the authority has the teeth it needs to get to the bottom of even the most serious allegations of corruption, killing, and torture. This means that the authority should seek and require the assistance of the police, and have the powers of a court to subpoena evidence and witnesses. The assistant minister for Internal Security has stated that the creation of the authority is a priority in the police reform process. One would hope that the Bill that emerges from this consultative process sees the emergence of a robust, fully-independent and powerful Police Oversight Authority.

The Cutting Edge BY THE WATCHMAN The roadmap to the new constitution, Onyango Olare notes, clearly stipulates, among other things, that the campaigns should take place only after the completion of civic education. He adds: “However, what we have

been seeing lately is a very vigorous campaign both for and against the draft. Can the politicians, please, give us a break until the end of the civic education? Who will stop this madness?”

He may have sorted out the passport issuing section at Nyayo House, Nairobi, but Immigration minister Otieno Kajwang’ still has plenty to do, says Tembez Mbaya. After he lost his national identity card, Tembez went to Kamukunji police station for a police abstract and was attended to without any hassles. “But at the National Registration offices at the Kariakor DO’s office, the staff not only lack courtesy, their lunch break takes more than two hours.” His email is mtembez@yahoo.com. Since Telkom Kenya introduced its CDMA service, J. K. Wachira says, the people of Makuyu in Murang’a South have been experiencing an extremely poor network. And to add insult to injury, there is no network at all for the

Orange mobile phone service. He has complained to the customer care desk numerous times and even called personally at Extelcoms House, to no avail. His contact is Tel. 020-2061646, 0770271455.

Results for students who sat the medical laboratory technicians’ exam on February 8 have not been released to date, Samuel Njoroge says. On enquiring at the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board oﬃces in Nairobi, Samuel says he was told the problem was the failure by the minister for Medical Services to appoint new board members. “We’re missing opportunities as a result,” he moans. His email is samihnjoroge@gmail.com Every time he passes by the Central Bank of Kenya on Haile Selassie Avenue, Nairobi, Telek Ongaro says he’s appalled at the eyesore of old furniture and other office stuff dumped at the back of the building overlooking

Extelcoms House. “Can’t they find a place to store the stuff out of sight or auction it off? Being the Central Bank, they can, surely, afford to be a little tidy instead of throwing things around in their compound.”

Calling Roads minister Franklin Bett all the way from Kisii is Fred Monari, who is alarmed at the crater-like pothole right in the middle of the Kisii-Kisumu highway. The offending feature is at Nyamataro shopping centre, four kilometres from Kisii town. “What is even more intriguing about this pothole is that it has existed for several years now and is to blame for some of the accidents at the spot.” During a recent visit to KCB’s Buru Buru branch, Kariuki Kiiru says, his curiosity was aroused when he noted that there were only two men on the entire staff. He asks: “Is this a mere coincidence or is it part of the affirmative action some

people have been clamouring for? I’m disappointed as I can hardly get man-to-man attention at this branch,” he concludes. His email is kiiru50@gmail.com. Have a balanced day, won’t you!

TALKING P OINT

Thefts at G4S need action For the past few years, Kenyans and investors have held G4S as the better option in terms of security services. It is true that the company’s service delivery is all right, apart from the transit cash hitches. But following a series of thefts involving millions of shillings over the span of about one year, Kenyans and investors have lost confidence in the firm. What does the G4S management intend to do to restore the confidence? The company’s image is now besmirched in the public’s eye. Quick action is, therefore, needed since even the staff’s image has been tarnished. They will find it difficult to secure jobs elsewhere when they finally leave G4S one day. The government’s intelligence unit should come to the firm’s help to stamp out, or even reduce, thefts by its own employees. PETER MWANGANGI, Nairobi

Painful feeling of betrayal I spent my Madaraka Day sitting at the side of my 80-yearold father’s hospital bed. Watching him writhe with pain ﬁlled my soul with contempt for a country that is evidently ignorant of its own people and their needs. I remembered all the stories he had told me about how the people got the freedom to do what is useful to them, and about the unsung heroes’ blood that soaked the soil during the war of independence. I saw in his eyes the pain of betrayal — of utter deceit — by those now enjoying the fruits of uhuru. They are sucking the heroes’ blood. I remembered also the gruesome accounts of the persecution he and fellow foot soldiers suﬀered as their persecutors took all the credit. WACHIRA MAINA, Ongata Rongai

Is there mischief in the court ruling on kadhi’s courts?

here has been so much outpouring of anger across the country following early last week’s High Court ruling on the constitutionality of kadhi’s courts. In the context of the referendum campaigns, many people, particularly those who support the draft constitution, read mischief in the three judges’ decision. They impugn the judges’ impartiality and integrity, and even question the presence of one of them on that speciﬁc bench. As the Attorney-General prepares to appeal against the judgment that declared the kadhi’s courts unconstitutional, though they are in the Constitution, some MPs say they will move a motion in Parliament to discuss the judges’ conduct. The greatest fear that quickly ran down many Kenyans’ spines was the ruling’s legal import vis-à-vis the muchhyped referendum, slated for August 4. Perhaps this is why the government immediately rushed to reassure the public that the referendum and its date are “safe.” But is the ruling part of a conspiracy to derail the plebiscite by the so-called anti-reform activists? This appears to be the general consensus, judging by the

deluge of reactions. Only Christian church leaders and politicians opposed the draft have so far applauded the ruling. All Muslim clerics and politicians on the “green” side of the proposed constitution are up in arms against the judges. They are questioning the judgment’s timing. Apparently the case has been lying fallow in the court shelves ever since it was ﬁled in 2004. Hence, the whiﬀ of conspiracy by somebody dusting the ruling and reading it out two months to the crucial referendum. Yet it may still turn out that the judgment was not a product of any conspiracy at all, but a case of coincidence and that

somebody seized the angry moment to blame it on the No campaigners. JOHN KIBET, Eldama Ravine ◊◊◊

It beats imagination why the No camp should expect the government to fund their campaigns to oppose the proposed constitution, a government project. The government has a duty to educate Kenyans so that they may make an informed decision, but not to finance the activities of a group that has come out clearly to undermine its efforts. Accusations have been flying around that the Yes camp is using government machinery for their campaigns. For example, the No activists argue, during the recent Madaraka Day celebrations, it was logical for the Yes leaders to give an account of government achievements since independence, and that the proposed constitution is one of them. Let each camp hold on to their strongest points and keep their fingers crossed. HARUSI BAYA, Mombasa South Africa will make even a brief stop-over in Kenya tells a lot how the country is perceived.

BRIEFLY Bad nurses My mother says I was born at one of Kenya’s largest referral maternity hospitals — Pumwni in Nairobi. She has fond memories of the old hospital and its nurses. But I wonder if nursing generally was a calling then and not now. Every so often, we hear sad stories of how mothers are mistreated at the public facility, to the point of losing their babies. Let’s remember that mothers labour under the weight of nine months of pregnancy. To add the twin trauma of losing one’s baby and being mistreated by inhuman nurses is unbearable. There are good, hardworking nurses, of course. WAHOME WARIBU, Nairobi

Killer trees While the trees on the Thika highway near the Central Kenya town help to make the place beautiful, they have now become a killer. Many Kenyans have lost their lives under these trees, the latest being on Thursday when a matatu went out of control and hit a tree, killing nine passengers. The trees are too close to the road and in case of a tyre burst or loss of control, the vehicle driver has little choice but to hit one of them. The trees’ disadvantages far outweigh their advantages, so I ask the authorities to have them cut down. The issue buildings are too close to the road. JOHNSTONE KIMONYI, Thika

Marende urges public to play a major role in peace-building By WALTER MENYA

enyans should participate in peace-building to avoid a repeat of the 2008 post-election violence, the National Assembly Speaker has said. Mr Kenneth Marende explained that peace-building was not a preserve of the government and that the public should fully participate in it and own the process. He said Kenyan MPs were taking the lead in peace-building and would share their experiences with more than 1,000 delegates at a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference in Nairobi between September 10 and 19 this year. “We want to share our experiences with other parliaments on what role legislatures can play in peace-building in their countries,” he said at a brieﬁng for Commonwealth heads of mission in Nairobi yesterday. Mr Marende said peacebuilding and the role of Parliament would be the main topic

during the conference. In 2008, Parliament passed the National Accord that created the coalition government to end the violence that claimed 1,133 lives and uprooted 650,000 others from their homes following the disputed presidential election. Mr Marende’s plea for peace follows a directive by President Kibaki on Madaraka Day for action to be taken on hatemongers during campaigns for the August 4 referendum. “What we learned in 2007 is that we should never take peace for granted. It was a wake-up call and none of us would wish to go back to where we were at the time,” he added.

New constitution

The conference, the third in Kenya, will take place just a month after the country votes in a referendum for a new constitution. Defence assistant minister and chairman of the organising committee, Mr David Musila, said the referendum would take place in an environment of peace and respect for other opinions. “We appreciate that Kenya has moved on from 2007 and as far as we are concerned, there should be no worries about security for delegates,” Mr Musila said.

Welfare pay planned for the disabled who can’t ﬁnd work Ten per cent of all Kenyans have some disability, says World Health Organisation

By SAM KIPLAGAT

By SAMUEL SIRINGI

pecial subsidies will be provided for people living with disabilities, if a new policy paper is adopted by the Cabinet. The proposal would mainly target people with disabilities that make them unable to secure or take on any employment that can sustain their livelihoods. According to the National Disability Policy that is soon to be tabled to the Cabinet, provision of ﬁnancial support will take into account the costs incurred by persons with disabilities and their families. “This may be the case, either because of the nature and degree of their disabilities, lack of necessary infrastructural support, or simply lack of opportunity due to the general economic conditions of the country,” said the 28-page document. It is estimated that about 10 per cent of the country’s total population have a form of disability, according to the World Health Organisation and the government.

Population estimate

With a population estimated at 38 million, approximately 3.8 million people in Kenya have a disability. According to the document, there is a need to ensure that people with disabilities are given a basic means of livelihood. “We should provide those who are unable to secure or take up employment with adequate income to cover their basic needs,” said the document. Also targeted for the income provision are people with disabilities who lose their income as a result of their status or those who have been denied employment. Other than the income aspect, the policy calls for a special design of vehicles to accommodate the needs of disabled people. It argues that the current design of ve-

hicles is not suitable for people in wheel chairs or those using walking sticks. “Public transport vehicles are largely inaccessible and operators are insensitive to the needs of persons with disabilities,” it says. “Short distance special motorised carriages are unavailable locally and too expensive to import.” It criticised the road system, accusing it of failing to cater for walkways for persons with disabilities. The policy proposes that there be a design of public transport facilities that are convenient and easily accessible to persons with disabilities There should also be easily accessible travel information, signs, symbols, and warning signals for all road users with disabilities Authorities, according to the report, should allocate appropriate parking lots for persons with disabilities in public and private car parks, which is not the case currently. The document calls for a quota of accessible houses to persons with disabilities in all government housing schemes. It suggests that the government come up with a way of ensuring that architectural design in housing schemes takes cognisance of persons with disabilities. “Encourage and, where necessary, work with private housing schemes to adopt housing structures that will be accessible to persons with disabilities,” reads the document. It also calls for aggressive promotion, development, and use of sign language, Braille and other alternative means of communication.

According to the policy, there should be an exemption from duties, taxes, and other levies on equipment and materials used in generating information in accessible formats for persons with disabilities. All employers and educators, says the document, will also be encouraged to provide assisted communication equipment such as talking computers and tape recorders to learners and employees with disabilities, according to their needs. It proposes that all vehicles, motorised wheel chairs, and technical aids intended for use by individuals with disabilities be exempted from taxes, duties, and other levies. The document delves into religion, saying persons with disabilities have been excluded or denied opportunities to practice their faith. Some religious organisations, it said, discriminated against them purely on account of their disability.

Faith abuse

“Persons with disabilities are sometimes subjected to faith abuse and blamed for their disability,” the document said. Further, the design of many places of worship makes them inaccessible to persons with physical and visual impairments while religious services shut out persons with hearing and intellectual impairments. “(We should) promote access to houses of worship, shrines, and sites of religious importance by persons with disabilities,” it says. It proposes that the National Council for Persons with Disabilities be strengthened with adequate administrative structures and financial and personnel resources to enable it to discharge its functions effectively. The report accuses authorities, especially the Sports Council, of neglecting people with disabilities when it comes to sporting and cultural activities. “The Sports Council and sports agents have made little effort to generate interest in sporting activities or disability competitions,” it said. It calls for retraining of teachers in regular schools to cater for children with special educational needs.

Twelve years after they went on strike, paralysing the banking industry for 14 days, some 30 former employees are still wandering in court corridors seeking to be employed again. The former employees were unlucky when they appeared in court last Monday for the hearing of their case, only to be told that the file had to be taken back to Chief Justice Evan Gicheru for a third judge to be appointed to hear their application. Only two judges had been appointed. The 30, led by Ms Sarah Gichuru, were former employees of Standard Chartered Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank, National Bank of Kenya, and Commercial Bank of Africa. Before they were terminated, the 30 were members of the Kenya Union of Commercial Food and Allied Workers. In the application filed in court in 2004, they allege that it was their union that called the strike on July 31, 1998 “to protest against the fringe benefits tax on low interest rate staff loan facilities”. The strike, they say, proceeded as scheduled and three days into it, the banks dismissed all its 12,000 employees. And on August 9, 1998, the union called off the strike, and as a condition of a return to work formula, the employees were directed to re-apply their jobs. In the process, some 11,400 employees were taken back, but 600, who included

9th Date in August 1998, when union called off strike by 12,000 staff

the applicants, were left out. Of the 53 banks affected during the strike, the applicants say, 19 implemented “selective re-employment”. The union later referred the dispute to the Ministry of Labour on November 19, 1998, complaining about the termination. The case was referred to the Industrial Court and after hearing the matter, Justice Saeed Cockar absolved the banks of blame, saying what the employers did — failing to re-engage them — was proper. It is after this decision that the ex-bankers moved to the High Court, saying the selective re-employment was discriminatory and the Industrial Court ruling unlawful. The ex-bankers say all of them were involved in the strike and terminating the jobs of the 600 only was unfair. In the ruling, the court found that the employees were not taken back over allegations that there were redundancy programmes in force. In moving to the High Court, the exbankers want the court to declare the award dated March 7, 2001, discriminatory. They also want the court to order that they be paid their full salary and other benefits. “After finding that the re-engagements were discriminatory ... the second respondent (Industrial Court) was legally enjoined to order for reinstatement ... without taking into consideration extraneous matters... Despite filing the case in 2004 challenging the outcome of the Industrial Court, the applicants have come to court only to be disappointed. “For how long shall we wait?” asks Ms Gichuru.

Mandela gets W. Cup tickets as SA vows to protect migrants Former president has been granted entry pass for his team at opening and closing JOHANNESBURG, Thursday

outh Africa’s first black president Nelson Mandela will attend the opening and closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup, which kicks off next week, the sports minister said today. “Mandela has demanded to attend the World Cup. He requested four tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies, and the organisers have granted his wish,” sports minister Makhenkesi Stofile said in The Star newspaper. The Mandela family previously said that the elderly statesman was too frail to go to stadiums during the World Cup and would not attend the games. Because of his advanced age, Mandela’s schedule is often not announced until the last minute. Mr Mandela, who turns 92 next month, campaigned for the World Cup to come to South Africa and was present in Zurich in 2004 when the country was named the event’s host. “For us this was a natural thing to do. If there is one person you could point out (deserving of the World Cup) we must say it is Madiba, and it’s befitting that he be there,” Mr Stofile said, referring to Mandela by his clan name. FIFA president Sepp Blatter today said he hoped Mr Mandela would attend the opening of the tournament at Johannesburg’s new Soccer City stadium near Soweto, Mr Mandela’s old neighbourhood.

Nigeria ruling party end suspension of reformers Nigeria’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said yesterday it had lifted the suspension of 19 senior members who openly called for reform, in an apparent bid to reunify ahead of nationwide polls next year. The PDP ousted the so-called Reform Forum two months ago after it launched an open rebellion against party chairman Vincent Ogbulafor, who has since said he is resigning after being charged with conspiracy and fraud. The divisions in the PDP, which has dominated Nigerian politics since the end of military rule just over a decade ago, risked splitting the party as it struggles to agree on a presidential nominee for polls.

Meanwhile, South Africa promised today to protect foreign migrants from attacks amid fears of a rise in violence coinciding with the World Cup. Human rights group Amnesty International said last week that South Africa was not doing to enough to protect foreigners, who two years ago were the victims of a wave of xenophobic violence that left 62 people dead and 100,000 homeless.

South Africans protesting against lack of electricity and sanitation in townships have threatened to turn again on foreign migrants, whom they blame for taking more than their fair share of basic services. “Whatever reason is used to justify these

attacks, we are saying it is totally unacceptable to attack foreign nationals ... we will not tolerate it,” government spokesman Themba Maseko told journalists. Millions of mainly unemployed black South Africans remain trapped in squalid shanty towns long after apartheid ended in 1994 with a promise of a better life for the poor. Last month, the Consortium for Refugees and Migrants in South Africa, a group of human rights organisations, said Afri-

can migrants feared a flare-up of violence coinciding with the month-long World Cup, which starts on June 11. Mr Maseko said the government had no evidence that locals would attack foreigners in this way and had re-established a ministerial committee to monitor violence against foreigners. “At this particular point in time no concrete evidence has been presented to cabinet (of a likely increase in attacks),” he said. Frustrated at the government’s failure to provide basic infrastructure, some residents in impoverished communities turned on their African neighbours in 2008. Liberal immigration and refugee policies make South Africa an attractive destination for African migrants seeking work in mines, farms and homes. There are no precise figures on the number of African immigrants in South Africa, although it is estimated to be in the region of five million, mainly Zimbabweans who fled the economic collapse in their country.

Uganda politician refers Museveni to ICC ahead of election Prosecutor says there is full freedom for anyone to hand in evidence of a crime KAMPALA, Thursday

Ugandan opposition leader called for the International Criminal Court to investigate the country’s president ahead of 2011 elections over alleged crimes committed in northern Uganda and in the capital Kampala. Mr Olara Otunnu, (pictured) a former UN under secretary-general, handed evidence to ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo at a review conference of the Hague-based court in Kampala today and requested a probe into President Yoweri Museveni. The politician said he was presenting a three-part case to the prosecutor over the killing of more than 30 people in a Kampala riot last September, allegations of genocide in northern Uganda and war crimes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. “If he (Otunnu) believes crimes should be investigated, he has the right to present any information he considers proper,” Mr Moreno-Ocampo said at a hastily arranged news conference. “I cannot follow political possibilities, I follow legal possibilities,” he said. “I will 12:42:50 AM 7008271R.pdf 6/3/10 assess the information.”

Uganda’s junior Justice Minister Fred Ruhindi declined to respond to Mr Olara’s allegations: “I don’t know what was said. I don’t know who said what. When it gets to the relevant government agencies, the relevant authorities will respond.” The country is gearing up for presidential elections next year and Mr Otunnu heads the opposition Uganda Peoples Congress party. He was also foreign minister from 198586 before Museveni took power. In oﬃce since 1986, Mr Museveni was initially credited with returning stability and economic vitality to Uganda, ravaged by dictatorship and civil wars in the 1970s and early 1980s. But donors and international civil society groups now accuse him of suppressing opposition and free speech, strengthening his grip on power and failing to rein in rampant corruption. The ICC is the world’s ﬁrst permanent war crimes court and Otunnu said the fact Museveni is hosting the ICC conference made “a mockery of what the ICC statute is all about”. Mr Moreno-Ocampo said anyone in Uganda can lodge evidence with the prosecutor for assessment, but stressed he is only mandated to investigate crimes that took place after July 1, 2002 when the ICC was established. The court is already investigating more than 20 years of civil war between Uganda’s government and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and has four outstanding arrest warrants against senior LRA commanders. None is in custody. (Reuters)

11 killed as battle rages in Mogadishu By ABDULKADIR KHALIF NATION Correspondent and Agencies MOGADISHU, Thursday

Fighting in the north of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu killed at least 11 people today as government troops and Islamist fighters battled for control of the area, an ambulance official said. Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab fighters are trying to hold on to the city’s north which puts the presidential palace, known as Villa Somalia, within easy range of their crude mortar rockets. The government controls just a few blocks of the war-scarred coastal city and its security forces have been fighting to regain Mogadishu’s north. “We have carried 11 dead civilians and 48 others injured this morning,” Ali Muse, the coordinator of ambulance services, said.

Most of the victims lived in Mogadishu’s Kaaran district, the scene of heavy exchanges of shellfire between the two sides. The fighting was continuing, he said, and the death toll was expected to rise. Residents said the government soldiers were backed by African Union peacekeepers in armoured vehicles. Last month, al Shabaab claimed its forces would soon seize the palace. Tensions also remained high in the Galgadud region of central Somalia where clashes between al Shabaab insurgents and the Sufi militia Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca killed 24 people on Wednesday. Al Shabaab, and a second hardline group Hizbul Islam, have been fighting President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed’s Western-backed government since the start of 2007. They now control huge tracts of central and southern Somalia where they have imposed a strict version of sharia law, banning music and school bells.

British police seek answers after shooting rampage WHITEHAVEN, England, Thursday

Baﬄed police were trying today to work out why a quiet taxi driver gunned down 12 people around England’s serene Lake District, as Britain debated how to prevent a repeat of its worst rampage for years. Derrick Bird’s shooting spree on Wednesday through sleepy towns, villages and beautiful countryside in one of Britain’s top tourist spots stunned locals and the entire country, and left authorities 7044848R.pdf

Obama administration’s support for a transparent, impartial investigation of what happened. The aim of the Israeli commando operation had been to seize control of the ships and escort them to Israel’s Ashdod port. From there, Israeli authorities had promised to transfer the seized cargo to Hamas-controlled Gaza. “They (Israel) have said, ‘Here you go. You’re in the Mediterranean. This ship — if you divert slightly north you can unload it and we’ll get the stuff into Gaza.” So what’s the big deal here?” Mr Biden (pictured) said. “What’s the big deal of insisting it go straight to Gaza?” he asked. Meanwhile, in Istanbul, thousands of mourners flocked today to a funeral for Turkish activists killed during the Israeli raid, as President Abdullah Gul told an outraged nation that ties with Israel would never be the same again. Coffins of most of those killed, draped in Turkish and Palestinian flags, were brought to Istanbul’s Fatih Mosque for the service before the bodies were taken to their home towns for burial. “We are deeply sad but at the same time.’’ (Reuters) M

WASHINGTON, Thursday

S Vice President Joe Biden yesterday backed Israel’s right to board ships bound for Gaza to prevent weapons smuggling, but said Washington remained concerned about the plight of Palestinians there. Israeli commandos boarded a ﬂotilla of six aid vessels trying to break Israel’s three-yearold naval blockade of the Palestinian enclave on Monday. Nine activists were killed in the assault and dozens injured, including some commandos. The United States has trod carefully in its response to the deadly raid and has not joined the international condemnation of Israel’s use of force to stop the ships after its commandos were attacked as they rappelled down from helicopters. “Israel has an absolute right to deal with its security interest,” Mr Biden said in an interview on PBS’s “Charlie Rose” show, while reiterating the

grappling for answers. While the 52-yearold, who was later found dead in the remote Eskdale valley after apparently turning one of his guns on himself, seemed to know some of his victims while others appeared to have been strangers, shot dead at random during a three-hour spree.

Remain in hospital

Eleven others were injured and seven of them remain in hospital. Cumbrian police said more than 100 detectives were now piecing together Bird’s

trail with evidence scattered across 30 different crime scenes. Oﬃcers are trying to work out what turned the cab driver, described by friends and colleagues as a nice, quiet, normal man, into a mass killer. Fellow taxi drivers in the coastal town of Whitehaven where Bird worked told Reuters he had been involved in a dispute with other cabbies the previous night. Newspapers reported that after the row he had left saying: “There’s going to be a rampage tomorrow”. At least one of those killed was a taxi driver. (Reuters)

Former president George W. Bush joins Facebook WASHINGTON, Thursday

Facebook has a new member — former US president George W. Bush. Mr Bush joined the fast-growing social network yesterday and his profile page, facebook.com/georgewbush, attracted more than 2,000 fans within a few hours. The first post on the page touted Mr Bush’s accomplishments since leaving office in January 2009. “President Bush has remained active,” it said. “He has visited 20 states and 8 countries; given over 65 speeches; launched

the George W. Bush Presidential Center; participated in 4 policy conferences through The Bush Institute; finished the ﬁrst draft of his memoir, ‘Decision Points’; and partnered with (former) President (Bill) Clinton to establish the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.” The next post touted the memoir written by former ﬁrst lady Laura Bush, “Spoken from the Heart,” noting that it was number one on The New York Times bestseller list for the third consecutive week. Laura Bush also has a Facebook page and more than 16,500 fans.

SPLIT

The messages visible on Bush’s page were overwhelmingly positive although a Facebook user named Brent Bender posted “You were an incredibly incompetent president” and others complained that their comments had been deleted. Most messages were along the lines of this from Matt Thullen: “God bless you, and thank you for your leadership of this great country. You are missed!” Or this from Victoria Newton: “Welcome to Facebook! Thank you for your service to our country. We love you and miss you!” (AFP)

Al Gore and wife Tipper to separate Couple says that after 40 years together it’s quit time WASHINGTON, Thursday

ormer US vice president and anti-global warming campaigner Al Gore and his wife Tipper have told friends that they will separate after four decades of marriage, an aide said yesterday. “They’ve asked for privacy during this time, for them and their family,” said Ms Kalee Kreider, of the Office of Al and Tipper Gore. Ms Kreider confirmed that the Gores — whose affection for each other was evident at social gatherings in Washington for 40 years, notably during his failed 2000 White House run — had let friends know of their plans by email. “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate,” they said in the message, first reported by the online publication Politico.

“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further,” they said. Al Gore, 62, won the Nobel

peace prize in 2007 for his work on raising awareness of climate change, and an Oscar that same year for his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” sounding the alarm over global warming. Mary Elizabeth “Tipper” Gore, 61, is a photographer who chronicled her life as the vice president’s spouse as well as Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign and has won praise for her work as an advocate for mental health issues. The two met at his senior prom dance in 1965, married in May 1970, and have four children. At the August 2000 Democratic presidential convention, the two had made headlines by sharing a long kiss on the stage after she introduced him and he prepared to accept the party’s nomination. The embrace, though derided by some as choreographed, helped bring home Gore’s message that he was “my own man” at a time when then-president Bill Clinton’s tawdry affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky loomed over the campaign. Al Gore was Clinton’s vice president from January 1993 to January 2001, and fought a bitter battle over disputed November 2000 election results in Florida before conceding to George W. Bush, who served two terms and left oﬃce in January 2009. The former vice president left the political limelight and said he was no longer interested in holding elected oﬃce, instead pursuing a range of projects including worldwide climate change work.

WAR ON TERROR

UN oﬃcial calls for halt to drone killings Philip Alston is of the opinion that spy agency not accountable GENEVA, Thursday

United Nations investigator called yesterday for a halt to CIA-directed drone strikes on suspected Islamic militants, warning that killings ordered far from the battleﬁeld could lead to a “Playstation” mentality. Philip Alston, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, said missile strikes could be justiﬁed only when it was impossible to capture insurgents alive instead and only if they were carried out by regular US armed forces operating with proper oversight and respect for the rules of war.

bility’s real, and it would be wrong for anyone to suggest otherwise,” a CIA spokesman said. The United States is among the Geneva forum’s 47 members. Under President Barack Obama, the CIA has stepped up its drone strikes in the tribal zone of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, targeting not only high-level al Qaeda and Taliban targets but largely unknown foot soldiers as well. Following a directive first issued by former President George W. Bush and continued by Obama, the CIA has widened the “target set” for drone strikes in Pakistan, Reuters reported last month. Al Qaeda’s third-in-command, Sheikh Sa’id al-Masri, is believed to have been killed in May in a US missile strike in Pakistan, US officials said earlier this week. The United States is believed to control the fleet of drones from CIA headquarters in Virginia, coordinating with civilian pilots near hidden airfields in Afghanistan and Pakistan who fly the drones remotely, according to Alston, an Australian who teaches at New York University School of Law. “Because operators are based thousands of miles away from the battlefield, and undertake operations entirely through computer screens and remote audio-feed, there is a risk of developing a ‘Playstation’ mentality to killing,” he said, referring to the popular Sony video game console. Under international law, targeted killings are permitted in armed conflicts when used against fighters or civilians who engage directly in combat-like activities, Mr Alston said. (Reuters) C

suspects had led to the death of “many hundreds,” including innocent civilians, he said in a 29-page report. “Intelligence agencies, which by definition are determined to remain unaccountable except to their own paymasters, have no place in running programmes that kill people in other countries,” Alston said. The world does not know when and where the CIA is authorised to kill, its criteria for choosing targets, whether they are lawful killings, and how it follows up when civilians are illegally killed, said Mr Alston, an independent expert who who presented his report to the UN Human Rights Council today. The CIA disputed the investigator’s conclusion. “Without discussing or conﬁrming any speciﬁc action or program, this agency’s operations unfold within a framework of law and close government oversight.

Aquino has unbeatable lead in Philippine vote tally MANILA, Thursday

Senator Benigno Aquino III had an insurmountable lead in the official tally of votes for the Philippine presidency today, and Congress was expected to declare him president early next week. The canvass showed Aquino had 14.6 million votes, or 41.8 per cent of 35 million valid votes tallied 7044859R.pdf 6/3/10by Thursday 7:43:25 AMevening, 5.5 million ahead of his nearest rival, former President Joseph Estrada, with less than a million votes still to be counted. Those figures were in line with unofficial tallies from the election commission

in the days after the May 10 vote. The poll agency has estimated around 38 million people cast their ballots. Senate majority leader Juan Miguel Zubiri had said the canvass would be ﬁnished on Thursday and Congress could declare Aquino the winner on Monday or Tuesday, four weeks after the vote and three weeks ahead of the June 30 deadline.

Entertain protests

He said the canvassing panel would not entertain protests or complaints that could delay the tally, saying candidates had to ﬁle cases with the Supreme Court

for a recount or scrutiny of the ballots. The race for vice-president was much closer, with Mr Estrada’s deputy Jejomar Binay leading Manual Roxas, Aquino’s Liberal Party running mate, by around 640,000 votes on Thursday evening. Lawyers and allies of Roxas questioned the high turnout of nearly 98 per cent in some provinces in the south, as well as the large numbers of invalidated ballots. “Based on our estimates, there were about 2.9 million votes for the vice president position that were not counted properly,” said Florencio Abad, the party’s campaign manager.

BP CRISIS

Giant shears used to cut Gulf oil pipe US admiral tells of one last attempt to contain what is an environmental crisis WASHINGTON, Thursday

orkers are using giant shears to cut through a fractured pipe deep underwater in an attempt to contain the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the US oﬃcial overseeing the response to the leak said today. The move comes after a special diamond saw being used to cut through the fractured riser pipe got stuck on Wednesday. The saw was later freed, but workers decided to resort to the shears instead, said Admiral Thad Allen. A clean cut with the diamond saw would have allowed workers to cap the gushing crude, but the cut with the shears will be

rougher, so workers will instead put a device over the pipe that will siphon oil up to ships. Admiral Allen, speaking on ABC, described the shears as “a big pair of scissors, powered by hydraulics.” Workers “have the top hat containment device over the well head. They’ll be able to lower that over the riser as soon as they make the cut. That’s connected to a ship on the surface. Admiral Allen downplayed the possibility of using a nuclear or other explosive device to try to seal oﬀ the well. “I think that’s really on the peripheral of things we ought to be talking about right now,” when asked about suggestions that a nuclear explosion be used to seal oﬀ the leak. “It hasn’t been seriously briefed to me,” “I think you’d have to run out of a lot of things before you’d consider something like that.” Asked about the possibility of using other explosive devices to try to seal the well, Allen said a blast could make things even worse by exposing oil-bearing rock formations directly to the sea

Mr Cameron said at the All Things Digital technology conference. Mr Cameron, the director of Avatar and Titanic, has worked extensively with robot submarines and is considered an expert in undersea ﬁlming. He did not say explicitly who he meant when he referred to “those morons.” His comments came a day after he participated in a meeting at the US Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in Washington to “brainstorm” solutions to the oil spill.

bed.Meanwhile, ﬁlm director and deepsea explorer James Cameron said yesterday that BP Plc turned down his oﬀer to help combat the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. “Over the last few weeks I’ve watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what’s happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don’t know what they’re doing,”

Mr Cameron said he has oﬀered to help the government and BP in dealing with the spill. He said he was “graciously” turned away by the British energy giant. The ﬁlm director has helped develop deep-sea submersible equipment and other underwater ocean technology for the making of documentaries exploring the wrecks of the ocean liner Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck some 3.2 km below the surface.

ECONOMIC REFOR MS

BRIEFLY

World Bank roots for more eﬃcient port to grow exports It says in new report that the economy is ﬂying on one engine: Local consumption By JEVANS NYABIAGE

he World Bank is pushing for the privatisation of the port of Mombasa as it renews eﬀorts to wean Kenya from consumption-driven growth. It says the country’s economic drivers do not balance out, making it diﬃcult to sustain high growth over the long-term. “Since 1960,” it says in a new report, “exports have shrunk from a high of 40 per cent of total output to the current 26 per cent, with the lag in agriculture and manufacturing singled out for the dip.” This means the country relies more on consumption of imports to generate wealth, with much of it repatriated to the exporting countries. The World Bank, while raising its economic forecast for this year from 3.5 to four per cent, says in the Kenya Economic Update that the country’s economy is “running on one engine”.

Enhance capacity

The update, released yesterday, says to accelerate growth, Kenya must enhance capacity and efficiency of the port of Mombasa. Agriculture remains the pillar, contributing 25 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product, but manufacturing has retreated to 11 per cent behind transport and communication and retail. The country is trading in a diﬀerent direction compared to other emerging economies that have expanded exports. Kenya’s traditional agricultural exports,

Equity and MultiChoice sign agreement With the World Cup expected to kick-oﬀ next week, Equity Bank is positioned to reap from expected upsurge in subscriptions to pay-television, after it signed an agreement with MultiChoice yesterday, to ease payment for potential subscribers. The World Cup that runs from June 11 to July 11 is expected to trigger a football craze and increase sales in television sets and subscriptions to pay-televisions. Speaking yesterday during the signing of the agreement at Equity Centre, Nairobi, the bank’s CEO Mr James Mwangi said the arrangement will enable subscribers get quick connection to DStv. “We are responding to the needs of millions of Kenyans who want to watch the world cup live from South Africa from the comfort of their homes,” he said. The new deal will see DStv subscribers pay their subscriptions at Equity Bank branches and ATMs countrywide, and through the bank’s Eazy 24\7 platform.

Faulu Kenya customers to use PesaPoint services mainly coffee and tea, have reduced as a result of weak governance in marketing institutions, even though horticulture has been picking up. “Kenya will need to restart the export engine to improve the business climate and closes the infrastructure deficit,” says Mr Wolfgang Fengler, the bank’s lead economist for Kenya. The rehabilitation of the Mombasa port has been cited as one of the key factors that would accelerate regional economic growth. The port handles cargo for the larger East Africa market, but is seen to be structurally inefficient and stretched with recent improvements in competing African ports likely to pose a threat. An efficient port would attract mediumterm investments in manufacturing, said World Bank country director for Kenya Johannes Zutt,, citing successful public-

private port partnerships in Nigeria and Ghana. “The port of Mombasa is possibly the single most important piece of infrastructure in East Africa and has the potential to become the critical transport hub for the region,” said Mr Fengler. In the next few years, East Africa’s economies are expected to grow at ﬁve per cent which, according to the report, will increase the ﬂow of goods through East African ports.

Pressure

“There are dynamics such as the discovery of oil in Uganda that will put more pressure but also create opportunities,” says Mr Zutt, noting that while plans have been drawn up in the past, the government has failed to comprehensively address the range of issues associated with eﬃcient port administration and operation.

Faulu Kenya has mobilised Sh2.1 billion in customer deposits, 10 months after Central Bank licensed it as a deposit-taking micro-ﬁnance institution. Its chief executive, Mr John Mwara, said on Wednesday that after being allowed to receive deposits, the institution is now able to lend more to its customers. “The ﬁgure might sound modest but given the short time we have had the licence to take deposits, there is high growth potential,” he said after signing a partnership to outsource ATM services from PesaPoint. The new agreement allows Faulu Kenya’s 300,000 customers to make withdrawals from any of PesaPoint’s 112 ATMs in the country. PesaPoint chief executive, Mr Bernard Matthewman, said the partnership will ensure Faulu Kenya customers access their money conveniently.

BP’s credit rating drops as oil-spill costs mount LONDON, Thursday

Fitch Ratings downgraded BP, becoming the first agency to cut the oil major’s credit rating and reversing its initial view that the financial impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on BP would be limited. “The downgrade of BP’s ratings reflects Fitch’s opinion that risks to both BP’s business and financial profile continue to increase following the Deepwater Horizon accident,” Fitch said on Thursday. The BP oil spill, which began in April is causing an ecological and economic catastrophe along the U.S. Gulf coast. Estimates for the total cost to BP range from $5.3 billion from Dutch bank ING to $37 billion from Credit Suisse. Fitch in May admitted to a mistake when it assumed that the impact of the spill on BP’s finances would be mitigated

Fitch Ratings becomes ﬁrst agency to cut the oil major’s credit rating

by insurance. However, Fitch said at the time the impact of the spill on BP’s credit rating remained limited. BP insures its own operations in the United States, rather than using commercial insurers, which means it is responsible for funding the clean-up But on Thursday the agency downgraded its rating on BP debt to AA from AA+ and attached a negative outlook, citing substantial additional risks including clean-up and legal costs. Other factors that could lead to further downgrades include the oil well ﬂow rate permanently increasing, the relief well being drilled by BP failing to completely arrest the oil flow and clean-up costs exceeding Fitch’s worst-case scenario of around $5 billion in any one year, the agency added. Reuters reported on Tuesday that a $23

billion slide in BP’s market value and a surge in the cost of protecting its debt were due to fears oil could continue spewing into the sea for another two months at least and that BP’s latest bid to stem the ﬂow could make matters worse. Five-year credit default (CDS) swaps on BP were about 30 basis points tighter on Thursday at around 230 basis points, easing after a second successive jump on Wednesday when the company’s ﬁve-year CDS widened at one stage by 100 basis points to a record 270 basis points, according to Markit. Among other credit rating agencies, Moody’s has so far cut its outlook. Standard & Poor’s, which on May 7 revised its outlook for BP to negative from stable, has said it is reviewing ratings on around 35 companies. (Reuters)

Bank to spend Sh30m to boost its asset finance NIC Bank will spend Sh30 million in the next five months, to promote its asset financing services in anticipation of an improved economy. The bank said yesterday that the campaign is to reinforce itself as a leader in the area (hire purchase and leasing). NIC Bank executive director, Alan Dodd, said the bank holds 30 per cent of the asset finance market. Paying cash outright for capital assets can be a significant drain on an individual or company’s working capital. With asset finance, an individual or company eases their cash flow through regular payments over an agreed period of time. NIC Bank’s funding is available for new and used cars, coaches, light and heavy commercial vehicles, plant, machinery and office equipment. The bank’s asset finance loan book stands at Sh10 billion, which is 30 per cent of its total loan portfolio.

BUDGET PROP OSALS

Private sector can speed up projects: Expert

Audit ﬁrm pitches for low tax

By NATION Reporter

Deloitte experts say this will encourage compliance and boost collections

The government has been urged to engage the private sector to speed up implementation of its projects. “This way we will not have a situation where over Sh60 billion allocated in last year’s budget remains unspent to date,” said Deloitte East Africa consulting leader John Kiarie. Mr Kiarie, however, said it was still too early to judge the government’s stimulus package launched in June last year to anchor economic recovery. He was addressing the press before Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta unveils the 2010/11 Budget next Thursday. The economy, which grew at 2.6 per cent last year, had slowed to a low of 1.7 per cent in 2008, weighed down by postelection violence, drought and the global economic recession.

By JUSTUS ONDARI

reduction in personal taxes is one of the reforms that Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta should announce in his budget speech next week, an auditing firm has said. According to Deloitte East Africa’s consultants, a reduction of corporate tax and value added tax (VAT) from 16 per cent to 14 per cent, backed by an increase in personal allowances and new environment taxes would stimulate consumption and in turn spur economic growth. “International and local experience has shown that a reduction in the rate of taxes leads to increased revenue collection,” said the firm’s head of tax, Mr Nikhil Hira, yesterday ahead of the reading of the Budget on June 10. He said the personal tax rate of 10-30 per cent under which a person with an income of about Sh40,000 per month qualifies for the maximum rate has been static since 2004 and needed reviewing.

worse off now. It is time we took a few of our less-to-do members of society off the tax net,” Mr Hira said during a pre-budget press conference in Nairobi. But the consultant’s call on the lowering of VAT comes at a time at a time when there is speculation that Kenya may be forced to increase its rate to 18 per cent in line with its East African Community member states Tanzania and Uganda which have it at 18 per as the Common Market Protocol becomes effective on July 1. Besides enhancing relief for home The current value added tax ownership, the consultants also called for charged on Kenyan consumers a review of the corporate tax rate from 30 per cent. “We need to have a range of taxation, He called for the widening of the tax say, between 20 per cent and 30 per cent band to redefine a middle-income earn- whereby the lowest rate3:08:27 will apply to fam7036779R.pdf 6/3/10 AM er to those earning about Sh80,000 per ily-owned and small and medium busimonth. “The people targeted in 2004 are nesses while big corporations pay the

higher rates,” he said. Other measures include updating the capital expenditure allowances regulations, ﬁne-tuning transfer pricing rules. As the world gets environmentally conscious, Mr Hira said the country should shift from direct to indirect taxation by targeting consumption rather than income. “We must tax the bad and reward the good by invoking environmental taxes,” he said about a move that could see ﬁrms and individuals utilising alternative energy and environment-friendly operations rewarded. Deloitte also proposed reforms in the administration of taxes such as speeding up tax refunds by the Kenya Revenue Authority, charging interest on the refunds and limiting how far back the taxman can go when auditing a taxpayer unless where fraud is involved.

“You can’t discredit it that it has not worked. It is too early because it was aimed at generating medium-term gains,” he said of the stimulus package, noting that much of the funds went into roads, energy and social projects like schools and hospitals. With a national debt at no more than 40 per cent of the GDP, the government could borrow more from the domestic market to ﬁnance priority sectors. “Even countries like Singapore have national debts higher than their GDP,” said Mr Kiarie. But care should be taken to balance supply and demand to avoid fuelling a rise in inﬂation, he stated. The funds raised then should be channelled into key sectors like infrastructure and agriculture while increasing the pace of reforms to improve the country’s investment climate and business competitiveness. “We only need to avoid spending our resources on the wrong projects and overspending on the right projects,” he said.

Small ﬁrms play big role in growth Sector employs 7.5m Kenyans but is limited by capital ﬂow By JEVANS NYABIAGE

mall and Medium enterprises are slowly becoming the jewel of Kenya’s economic growth. In the recent past, realising the potential that SMEs have, many companies ranging from financial institutions and telecoms have been crafting products and solutions targeting this market segment. Available estimates show that SMEs — a growing and vibrant stream with a lot of untapped potential — employ about 7.5 million Kenyans or 80 per cent of the country’s total employment outside small-scale agriculture. However, one of the difficulties SMEs face is inadequate capital to expand their businesses, and for those that manage to get credit from financial institutions, repayment rates are high. Mr Alfred Khang’ati, assistant minister in the office of the prime minister, believes banks are making crazy profits as small businesses fight at the bottom of the pyramid, with some of them closing shop. “Although some of them have started cutting their lending rates, we need to see more. We don’t want a situation where a number of banks are making billions as profit while a number of SMEs are winding up,” Mr Khang’ati said at the official launch of a three-day SME 2010 fair organised by Maple Management. He said that most of the time, the country doesn’t benefit from the huge profits made

by multinationals since most of them repatriate the money to their countries of origin. “You may have the best business idea but without capital it all goes to waste, however little capital you may need to start up. To be considered for a bank loan you must have collateral and have good credit records but many, when this is not the case, give up and lose their dreams,” said Ms June Gathoni, managing director of Maple. However, she added, the introduction of micro-ﬁnancing in the country has done well in raising entrepreneurs by lending to them in small ways until some of them have grown from small-medium enterprises, to blue chip companies.

Information

Ms Gathoni says most new business owners and existing SMEs do not have adequate information and knowledge of how, where and who these micro- financiers are but that the fair will offer guidance in such areas. The fair, which started yesterday and ends tomorrow, focuses on bringing together micro-financing institutions, banks that offer micro-credit, NGOs that fund women and the youth, companies that offer business opportunities such as agriculture, distributor opportunities, as well as other supporting businesses to successfully start and run an enterprise.

picks specific refill drugs that the client has been using and sends the information to the pharmacy. He will then receive an email and SMS notification on when to pick the drugs” he said.

Health portal

The web portal is similar to the health portal, Health 24, used in South Africa. Dr Waka, however, said the success of the web portal system would depend on how soon the ICT villages would be set up in the constituencies.

Mobile banking faces security risks Fraudsters can hack into the accounts and steal deposits, now government warns By JOSEPH BONYO

rowth of mobile banking in Kenya calls for increased security to curb potential threats of fraud. Currently, several banks have signed up with mobile money transfer service providers to tap the growing penetration of mobile phones currently estimated at 20

million. Meanwhile, the roll-out of high speed internet has also exposed internet banking to cyber criminals, as the industry curves out a niche’ in the global ﬁnancial markets anchored on technology. “We must now create a capacity to develop cyber security for the banking sector, because that is where the real threat lies,” said Dr Bitange Ndemo, permanent secretary in the ministry of Information and Communication, during the launch of Pesa Pap! a mobile money banking platform by Family Bank yesterday. According to the PS, the government is already developing an emergency response through the Communication Commission of Kenya. Prof Njuguna Ndung’u, Central Bank of

Kenya governor, urged individual banks to shape up to this reality. “This is an area that we might be hit without knowing and banks needs to shape up to this reality,” added Prof Ndung’u Cybercrime mainly involves theft of personal information by hackers, who use it to fraudulently obtain money from an individual’s account. The hackers can also use the information to steal from a bank system.

Penchant

The advent of high-speed connectivity also creates a fertile ground for fruadsters, who internet experts say, were previously put oﬀ by the amount of time it took to hack into local websites using slower satellite connections.

‘This is an area that we might be hit without knowing’

Family Bank’s Pesa Pap application allows for real time deposits and withdrawals through Safaricom’s M-Pesa service. The service is aimed at creating convenience the customers, the company said, especially those in rural areas. “We will now be able to introduce more competitive mobile-based products that over time will provide our customers with financial independence at their finger tips and be able to transact as they so wish,” said Family Bank’s chief executive officer Mr Peter Kinyanjui. Over the last two years, commercial banks have had been in a mad rush towards partnership with mobile phone service providers. This has seen traditional banking structures remodeled, creating more convenience for customers.

She also knows why bad bacteria are good for women and why the latter add weight immediately they move in with their boyfriends, or just when they are about to have their weddings. When it comes to the gems that escape the careful eyes of the subs and the supersubs, Tez is indefatigable. Late last week, she sent me a text about “a cash-strapped watchdog that BACKS with a whimper.” To drive her point home, she named the publication and the page on which this BACKING dog was to be found. Early this week, when a writer fulfilled the professional requirements of journalists and put a mistake bang on the front page, she was at it again. In a well-written story about the impending famine despite the bumper harvest, the writer — another good friend of mine— claimed that aflatoxin is fungi, as in the plural of fungus. Apparently, or according to Tez, it is not. “Aflatoxin is a toxin caused by the fungus known as Aspergillus flavus or A. flavus.” That is how she began the text message

The more than 200 learners trekked for 50 km to the DEO’s oﬃce in Koibatek to air their grievances. They said they had not had water since beginning of the year. The peaceful students returned to the school after education oﬃcials promised to address the problem.

Commuters stranded in swoop on matatus

f the story of this column is ever written, my friend Tez will be more than a footnote for the simple reason that she has continuously contributed gems which, more often than not, provide the basis of pieces published here. A food scientist by profession, Tez sure has good eyesight because she manages to pick out the reporters’ gems that the ever hardworking sub-editors and even the harder-working and hawk-eyed super sub-editors fail to see and correct or delete when they are going through raw copy. And that is where I have to exonerate myself. If at any one time, sub-editors and super sub-editors have felt that I am being too hard on them, then they have to blame the good-natured Tez, who can explain even the vainest of acts that drinkers engage in — things they do as a matter of habit without any thought whatsoever that there are valid scientific reasons behind them. Let’s break it down. Have you ever wondered why some imbibers always rinse their glasses with beer before filling them up and gulping down the frothy stuff? If you are interested in knowing, or why they stagger after one too few, ask Tez, who can also explain to you how the long-held belief about gout is a myth, or even why the long-held myth about peanuts is a fact.

Students stage demo against water scarcity

An impromptu traﬃc crackdown on faulty public service vehicles yesterday paralysed transport. Commuters were stranded at a bus park in Mumias Town until late in the afternoon. Many matatu operators were arrested and their vehicles impounded in the swoop. Boda boda operators took the advantage of the crackdown to hike fares. More than 100 vehicles were impounded.

KONOIN

Child, 10, dies after taking milk in hotel she sent to me. “To be precise, A. flavus is a mould and the term “fungi” is used to refer collectively to yeasts and moulds.’’ The “afla” in aflatoxin is derived from the first four letters of the abbreviated name of the mould. Aflatoxin is but one of several mycotoxins produced by the many mould species out there. Myco refers to the mould. She added that the writer should have asked a food technologist what aflatoxin is instead of relying on a statement from the agriculture ministry. Contrary to what my professional colleagues may think, I can vouchsafe that, unlike me, Tez has a small ego, and even a smaller frame and an extremely big heart — metaphorically writing, that is. Despite her scientific mind, there are two things that she has never been able to explain to me: How Kenya Power and Lighting Company’s meters and local banks work. For the past three months, I have failed to understand how KPLC’s meter number 9967969, belonging to account number 0122496-02, counts the number of units consumed. Ideally, I have no problem with fuel cost charges, the inflation and forex adjustments, the 12 per cent VAT and ERC, ERP, COE, PEV, CBK, KCB, BBK, IIEC and any other of the levies that fluctuate every hour.

Household companion

I fail to understand how it is possible for a household’s consumption can be 58 units in one month, and then jump to an astronomical ﬁgure of 329 before falling back to less than 30, then rising to 299 yet everything in that household has remained constant in those consumption and billing periods of 30 days each. Should I add that during those billing periods, the KPLC meter readers diligently did their bit and did not have to work with estimates. The bills show that these are actual units consumed. The other thing Tez cannot explain is the operation of that big bank (that needs

a big world) in which I have an account. Just the other day, it posted a Quarter One profit before tax of Sh2 billion, which meant an 8.9 per cent drop in pre-tax profit recorded in the same period last year. These results, I am made to understand, fall short of those of industry peers who posted higher profit growth over the same period. I do not understand why the profits declined yet whenever I pass by the bank, or withdraw money, make a deposit, make purchases using my credit card — which has been issued by the same bank — and then pay the credit card amount from my account in the same bank, I pay the service fee on top of some interest which I have never understood since the bank has my instructions to debit my account and pay off the credit card amount in one go. Further, I have been helping my bank to save in the form of postage fee because I do not receive my bank or credit card

329 The number of units the KPLC meter can read from one month to another

statements and when I want the former, my account is debited, and the bank’s account credited. Of course, this does not happen to me alone and, to be fair to my bank, I want to believe that it is not the only one that levies charges for receiving money. Looked from another side, my bank could be making losses because of the high telephone bills it incurs since its representatives incessantly call account holders to tell them to take loans. Maybe the bank could have made a proﬁt if it invested in customer care and built a database with the names and telephone numbers of all the account holders who have been called — and either took loans or declined — so that they do not have to be called again and again. It will also be less annoying.

A 10-year-old boy died and 25 people were admitted in hospital after drinking milk suspected to be poisoned at a hotel in Mogogosiek. Area chief David Langat said the victims started vomiting and having diarrhoea after consuming the milk on Tuesday. Journalists were barred from Litein Hospital where the victims were admitted. Samples of the milk have been taken to the Government Chemist for analysis.

Ferry ride fee haunts Mwakwere Political rivals in Matuga use the remark to attack ex-MP By GALGALO BOCHA and EUNICE MACHUHI

remark by former transport minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere on the possibility of charging a small fee for a ferry ride has now come back to haunt him. Mr Mwakwere had suggested that passengers pay Sh1 for using the ferry, a suggestion that did not go down well with regular users. And political rivals have resurrected the remark as a weapon against him in the Matuga by-election campaigns. ODM nominated councillor Sheikh Amir Banda said it was the government that deserved accolades for ensuring that relief was in sight for ferry users. “We must thank the government for its commitment to address the problems that ferry users have been facing.

He said voters had already made up their minds on how to vote even before the arrival of the vessels. On the other hand, Mr Mwakwere’s supporters are claiming credit for the arrival of the two new ferries. They said the arrival of the vessels was a major achievement which could not be ignored. “We are grateful to Mr Mwakwere for bringing us the vessels and shall take him back to Parliament,” Mr Shee Zito, a supporter and resident of Waa location said.

Was committed

Kwale county council chairman Mshenga Ruga, another close Mwakwere ally, said yesterday that although the vessels were delivered when he had left Parliament, his eﬀorts to bring them in were notable. “The arrival of the vessels is an indication that Mr Mwakwere was committed to help the people of Mombasa, and especially ferry users,” he said. Ng’ombeni resident Mr Hussein Ali Mwabore said voters would not let down the former MP because of his commitment.

IMMIGRATION

10 foreigners barred at border The group said to be from Somalia was travelling without documents, says DC By ANTHONY KITIMO

en foreigners trying to sneak into the country through LungaLunga border were barred and repatriated. The ten, suspected to be Somalis, were on Wednesday ordered to return to their country of origin because they had no travel documents, said Msambweni district commissioner Abdullatif Munzin.

“We cannot allow any foreigner to enter the country without acquiring valid documents and that is part of our third rapid response initiative,” said the DC. The administrator said in the past three months several people had been barred from entering the country by security agents deployed on the border to ensure no goods were smuggled in and out of the country. She said the relocation of the border point had played a major role in boosting security. “Moving border point from LungaLunga to Horohoro closer to no man’s land and equipping it with modern facilities has greatly contributed to the improvement of security at the border,” said Ms Munzin. Security agents at the border point have recently been accused of laxity, a situation

that had led to human traffickers and foreigners easily entering and leaving the country. The government has been forced to set up an immigration office at Vanga and intensify police patrols due to the influx of refugees. On Sunday last week, more than 70 Ethiopians sneaked into the country through the same border and hired Mv Fauz, a Kenyan registered vessel to ferry them to South Africa and Mozambique but it sank shortly after leaving the country. Twenty one bodies have been recovered in Tanga on the Tanzanian coast and three others at Shimoni in Kenya’s south coast. Tanzanian authorities said rescuers were still looking for more than 20 bodies among them those of Kenyan crews. Twenty four people were rescued.

94 The people arrested since the crackdown on brews started

The DC said police also seized 17 rolls of bhang during the crackdown which would continue until the brewing of illicit alcohol was cultailed. Most consumers of cheap and illegal alcohol were men and jobless youths. The councillor’s sentiments were echoed by her Wundanyi colleague Ginton Mwachoﬁ who asked the government to license traditional liquor and regulate drinking time. “In the days of our grandfathers local brew, popularly known as mbangara, was taken during a special ceremony by elders at a certain time unlike today when people have converted it into break fast,” he said. Mr Mwachofi asked Parliament to enact laws to regulate and set standards of production. The debate comes at a time the government has launched an aggressive campaign against illicit brews in the area.

NAKURU

Police yet to be ﬁnd stolen poison gas tanks Police are still looking for two highly explosive poisonous gas containers stolen by highway robbers two weeks ago. A lorry transporting 100 liqueﬁed gases – each weighing 400 litres – was hijacked near Sachang’wan on May 16 on the Nakuru-Eldoret highway. The gas was being exported to service aeroplanes belonging to a wildlife conservancy in Juba, in Southern Sudan.

NAKURU

Lobby protests against high licence charges Investors have complained about the high cost of business licences and land rates in Nakuru. Through the Nakuru Business Association, potential investors say they are ﬁnding it diﬃcult to start businesses in the town despite its improved infrastructure. Association chairman Boniface Muhia yesterday accused the municipal council of increasing licence fees without considering the general economic situation and not encouraging investors.

MOLO

By NATION Correspondent

Taita leaders have asked the government to ban second generation brews, claiming they made men impotent. Werugha ward councillor Mary Saleka said the licensing of the brews by the government was counter-productive. The drinks, she said, had made men impotent and some of them had abdicated their parental roles. “For the government to be seen to value its citizens it should ban the production of the brews if it is serious in the fight against irresponsible drinking,” said the councillor. But Taita district commissioner Njenga Miiri yesterday said the banning of second generation brews was tricky because those who manufactured it were licensed by the government. The administrator said 94 people had been arrested and 2,315 litres of illicit brews impounded in the past one month.

Ministry plans to diversify from traditional tourism products By NATION Correspondent

The Tourism ministry plans to introduce diﬀerent products from the traditional beach activities and game watching. Coast regional tourism oﬃcer Lillian Ayimba said Coastal cultures and attractive sites outside the parks and beaches would now be part of the package. “Some tourists have been here more than once and are tired of seeing the same parks and beaches. We need to introduce them to new sights,” she said.

Rich culture

Coast had a rich culture which has not been fully exploited, especially that of the Taita and Taveta communities. Ms Ayimba said the famous Shomoto and Kino caves in Wundanyi would be included in the tourism circuit. Kino cave is famous for being used by prominent East African freedom ﬁghters as a hideout in the liberation struggle. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Dr Julius Nyerere, Mr Oginga Odinga, Mr Ronald Ngala, Mr

Paul Ngei and Mr Fred Kubai were among those who used the cave as a hideout. Ms Ayimba said out of the 62 sites and products the ministry had identiﬁed in Coast, more than 30 were in Taita. She said land had been acquired at Bamburi in Mombasa on which to build Bomas of Kenya Coast to take advantage of the region’s rich culture for touristic exploits. “The Bomas of Kenya Coast will be allowing diﬀerent communities to showcase their cultures unlike in Nairobi where one group does everything,” she said. This was one way of changing the perception among tourists that the Maasai culture is the only one that is still alive. Ms Ayumba was speaking in Wundanyi at this year’s Worldwide Responsible Tourism Day on Wednesday. Speaking at the same occasion, Taita district commissioner Njenga Miiri urged the community to shun irresponsible drinking and take advantage of the planned expansion in the tourism sector.

Security personnel in the larger Molo region have been directed to arrest anyone using hate addresses during campaigns for the constitution. DCs from Njoro, Kuresoi and Molo vowed not to spare anyone who tried to create disunity in the area. Messrs Jim Njoka (Njoro), Cyrus Gatobu (Kuresoi) and Julius Kavita (Molo) were speaking earlier in the week.

LAWSUIT

Sailors lobby group chief sues AG C

Mwangura seeks to be compensated for 2008 arrest By PHILIP MUYANGA

seafarers lobby oﬃcial has sued the Attorney General for wrongful arrest, detention and prosecution. Mr Andrew Mwangura, the East African Seafarers Assistance Programme coordinator, is seeking general, aggravated and exemplary damages.

Military tanks

He is seeking a further Sh150,000 in special damages and the costs of the suit. He also wants interest paid from 2008, when he says he was subjected to the ordeal. Mr Mwangura names the AG as the complainant as well as the arresting and investigation oﬃcer. He says he was arrested on October 1, 2008, by Criminal Investigations Department

oﬃcers without a warrant, in public and in the full glare of the press, embarrassing and humiliating him. His arrest followed comments he had allegedly made over the ownership of military tanks and other hardware aboard the Mv Faina, a cargo ship that had been hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. He was charged with making alarming statements and being found in possession of narcotic drugs. On May 22, last year, the prosecution withdrew the charges. Mr Mwangura said in his suit that his reputation had been damaged in the eyes of his family, friends and the society. And, despite a notice of intention to sue being given to the Attorney General, the government legal adviser had refused to admit liability for damages, the seafarers’ oﬃcial says in the suit. CMY

fair, Ms Karimi said the country’s education system has put more emphasis on academics than learning. Ms Karimi said individuals, especially in higher educational institutions, mainly focus on examinations, but described learning as a lifelong process. “Publishers are evaluating what they are publishing,” 5:01:33 PM said Ms Karimi adding that

what they are publishing is in response to the readers demands. She said the main challenge facing publishers is the cost of production which she described as high. Ms Karimi urged coast residents to turn out in large numbers at the bookfair which is expected to end on Saturday. “We have brought publishers to people who ought to

come out and see the range of books,” Ms Karimi. Among the range of books at the fair, which is being held at Star of the Sea Girls high school, include motivational and school text books. Several school children and a few parents attended yesterday oﬃcial opening of the book fair but oﬃcials are optimistic the numbers will increase.

PUBLIC STATEMENT RESETTLEMENT OF THE MAASAI COMMUNITY IN OLKARIA IV DEVELOPMENT AREA In order to alleviate chronic power shortages in the country, the Kenya Electricity Generating Company Limited (KenGen) has adopted the geothermal strategy to develop the enormous energy resources in the Rift Valley region. To further complement this, the government formed the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) with a focus on exploring and developing geothermal fields to sell steam to power plant developers including KenGen and any other independent power producers (IPP). Following the successful exploitation of the geothermal at Olkaria, KenGen undertook an optimization study to find the best form of developing the resource. The study, which was carried out in 2009 indicated that there is enough steam at Olkaria complex to support two new power plants. One will be a 140 MW plant, named Olkaria I Unit 4 and 5 near the first Olkaria power plant, and a similar size power station, named Olkaria IV, at the adjacent Olkaria Domes area. As per Kenya laws and financiers’ requirements, KenGen carried out Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) studies for both Olkaria 1 Units 4 & 5, and Olkaria IV power stations. The study was undertaken by an independent Consultant and the reports approved by the National Environmental and Management Authority (NEMA). Olkaria I power station is situated in the Hell’s Gate National Park and has no people residing there. However, developments at Olkaria IV are being undertaken in an area inhabited predominantly by the Maasai community. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment report showed that various villages in this area would have to move due to noise and gas emissions from the proposed power station. As a follow-up to the ESIA report, a committee comprising elected representatives of the affected community, KenGen and the provincial administration was formed to discuss the way forward. Various meetings chaired by the provincial administration have subsequently been held with the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to discuss matters of re-settlement. Consequently, a draft Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) was prepared by an independent Consultant and can be obtained from the community representatives for scrutiny. In the meantime, the draft RAP is has been conducted to meet the requirements of World Bank Operation Directive 4.12. For the Project Affected Persons, KenGen is seeking land that is suitable for resettlement. Discussions with various land owners have begun, and if fruitful, the community will soon be engaged to give their approval before purchase. In preparation for resettlement, the Consultant has already registered all the beneficiaries of the land for the purposes of the title. This activity of seeking suitable land is scheduled to be completed by mid June and an addendum to the Resettlement Action Plan will be issued to that effect. During negotiations with the community representatives, it was agreed that KenGen provide facilities including a school, dispensary, social hall, water, churche and housing in the resettled area, giving the community better facilities than what they had before. Unfortunately, there are NGO’s inciting members of the community, both within and outside the Olkaria area over the effects of the project without understanding the well laid out and considerate resettlement plan that is already in place as part of Olkaria 4 development. As we continue to develop affordable geothermal power to reduce the cost of electricity in the country, KenGen reiterates its support for social and economic empowerment of its neighbours. The Company provides water to the Maasai community around its projects, promotes provision of education through support to schools and scholarships, contributes towards provision of health services, and provides employment opportunities and other social amenities and infrastructure. This support will continue to be accorded to the neighbouring communities and the resettled community. As we develop affordable electric power for Kenya, we will continue to support and share with the communities within which we operate. Corporate Affairs Office KenGen

Yes Youth Can! Annual Program Statement (APS) The United States Agency for International Development, Mission to Kenya (USAID/Kenya), invites applications from all U.S. and Non-U.S. qualified organizations to implement youth activities under the Yes Youth Can! program. This program is authorized in accordance with Public Law 109-102, and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. USAID’s Yes Youth Can! program will provide robust support to Kenyan youth to create opportunities for livelihoods, engage as citizens in local and national issues that affect them, and empower themselves to be positive forces for change in their communities. The goal of the activities to be funded pursuant to the Yes Youth Can! APS is to empower Kenyan youth by developing leadership and organizations, promoting inter-ethnic understanding, facilitating innovation, providing technical assistance to create jobs and new market opportunities, enhancing youth voices in policy dialogue and interethnic coalitions, and generating new possibilities for community well-being. The estimate for all awards to be made under this APS is $14,000,000. This funding opportunity includes multi-sectoral programming in six provinces in Kenya: Central, Nairobi, Nyanza, Rift Valley, Western and Coast Provinces. Kenyan organizations are encouraged to apply as Prime applicants or as sub-awardees. Proposals from consortia or partnerships between eligible organizations are welcome. Teaming arrangements, especially those that include Kenyan partners, are also encouraged. All concept papers must be submitted by November 26, 2010. However, concept papers received by June 28, 2010 will be reviewed as an initial batch. Subsequent concept papers will be reviewed as they come in (on a “first-come, first-served” basis). However, as resources are limited and we expect a significant number of submissions, the earlier a concept paper is received, the greater the chance that funding might be available. Applicants are, therefore, strongly encouraged to submit concept papers by June 28, 2010. Interested applicants can access the full APS document at www.grants.gov (“Youth Empowerment Program in Kenya”) which fully describes the application process.

KICK OUT ‘DIMINISHERS’ AND INVEST IN BOSSES WHO LEAD LIKE MULTIPLIERS

here are bosses who never see good in anything. Working with them would make you think of changing jobs to bee-keeping because at least with bees, you only have to contend with the occasional stings rather than face emotional torture associated with bad management. Then there are those good to God bosses who make you wonder why nature didn’t make them your parents too. In workplace jargon, the ﬁrst

-6LTIPLIE34 .OT O.LY -A+E OTHE34 FEEL 4-A3T, "6T A#T6ALLY $EVELOP THEI.TO 4-A3TE3 I.$IVI$6AL4

kind of boss is known as the “diminisher”, and the latter the “multiplier”. You find them in all kinds of work places, the results of their management styles pulling to opposite directions. The “diminisher” subconsciously drains all the capability out of their teams, stifling the flow of ideas. You have to work with his thinking, no matter how smart yours is, because in the diminisher’s opinion, “No one else really has much to offer.” With such

mentality, diminishers are quite good at leaving unused talent on the table. You can tell you are one if you are a visionary, but you leave no room for others to think of the challenges themselves. You consume all time in meetings thinking your passion is infectious, while in reality, it is stifling. You are creative, ever sprouting new ideas, and you think you have to always stay ahead. What you end up doing is to create an organisational whiplash as people scurry to keep up with each new idea. Quite the opposite for the multiplier. This kind of manager rarely shows off his IQ, preferring instead to foster a culture of intelligence across the team. These congenial souls not only make others feel smart, but actually develop them into smarter individuals at work. The Harvard Business Review (HBR) studied these two kinds of bosses to find out the inherent differences between bosses who multiply intelligence in their teams, and those who diminish it, and more importantly, the impact they had on a company. The study involved more than 150 diminishers and multipliers in more than 35 companies across four continents. According to the finding, diminishers’ view of intelligence was based on “elitism, scarcity, and stasis.” Basically, they believe that “you won’t find high levels of brain power everywhere, in everyone, and if your employees don’t get it now, they never will.” Multipliers, on the other hand, were found to believe that smartness could be cultivated. With that kind of thinking, the multiplier has the habit of bringing the right people together in an environment that unleashes their best thinking, and then stays out. HBR concludes that a company can get twice as much from its employees, without additional resources, if its bosses led like multipliers, who build collective, viral intelligence on their teams by managing five areas: Talent, culture, strategy, decision making, and execution. Multipliers spot and develop top talent on whatever level, more so those who know what they don’t. They are keen on the “native genius” – those who are not just exceptionally good on what they do, but do so naturally, and with passion. Multipliers link their talents’ unique capabilities with Page 46»

Big man attitude easily kills team spi≥it at wo≥k

former employee of an international development organisation remembers his past employer for its level travel policy. He recalls that titles didn’t matter as far as the little issue of travel allowance was concerned. The company applied uniform rates of per diem to all workers on a joint trip, such that when the director took up an official journey with a driver and an administrative assistant, their daily allowance for meals and any other basic incidentals would be the same. The wisdom in the policy was that members of staff travelling to the same destination had to be comfortable with each other to stay together as a team with a mission. A basic way of achieving WO3$4: ELL: 8!-!3I that would be to make it possible for them to stay in the same hotel and to socialise at the same table. This was thought to boost bonding and to enhance the performance of work in the field. In many organisations, the tendency is to classify daily travel allowance according to the ranks of the employees. When a team travels together under such rules, the disadvantaged workers have to shy away from the rest to find cheaper hotels and eateries. In extreme cases, the managers would be booked in expensive hotels by the office, and the junior members of the travelling team left to find their own cheap accommodation on arrival. The anguish this subjects them to can easily result in poor sense of belonging. As petty as this may sound to some, it can defeat teamwork. Second-rate treatment of junior employees was once a subject of a discussion that arose at a trip organised by a local organisation. Someone had asked where the driver and the accountant of the organisation always disappeared to after dropping off the rest of the team at the hotel. Their manager couldn’t quite come up with a convincing explanation, other than mumble something about the differences in seniority at the workplace that obligated others to find accommodation elsewhere. The view was dismissed by others as an unfortunate big man attitude, which any organisation keen on sustaining team spirit needed to avoid. Habits like having a special menu for the “high table” were thought of as old-fashioned. They can frustrate the spirit of togetherness at the workplace. Actually, disadvantaged employees often grumble over these things, and when it’s too much, they silently rebel in ways that affect team efforts. A common thing they do is to stick to the bare minimum output required of their duties. That limits performance. ewamari@nation.co.ke

Assistant Restaurant Manager

started working at Intercontinental Hotel Nairobi as a trainee in 1999. Two years later, I was taken on board as a permanent employee, and posted to the Safari bar as a bar lady/bartender. I worked in this section until 2003, when the hotel entered into a contract with the UN in Nairobi. I was posted to the UN complex to serve as acting supervisor for the UN lounge and cafeteria. In 2004, the hotel entered into another contract with Kenya Airways and I was again given the opportunity to oversee operations at the airline’s Business Lounge and Economy Class as operations manager. I was recalled to the main hotel in 2007. I was elevated to my current position last June, after I had served in various departments. The reason I give this background is to demonstrate that my employer recognises abilities and rewards good performance. It’s all about presenting equal opportunities to all, based on merit. So far, I have advanced myself personally and career-wise, owing to the hotel’s emphasis on individual development. We have a programme called Personal Devel-

opment Plan (PDP). Through it, we are given the chance to lay down our ambitions, after which we get support towards achieving them. For example, last year, I indicated in my PDP that I wanted to be a Restaurant Manager. It has come to pass. We get support to pursue refresher courses at Utalii Training College, besides the continuous career training sessions in-house. In these sessions, we are trained in customer and guest relations. These help us to learn how to relate with diﬀerent people. We take teamwork very seriously here because almost all the roles are closely interrelated. Such togetherness and the culture of Ms Kemunto

Why should my employe≥ stop me f≥om investing pe≥sonal pay? Shouldn’t employers begin to embrace the reality that employees may need to invest to reduce reliance on one source of income? I have a personal investment, which I attend to on-line early in the morning before official office hours and also late after work. I have been made to understand my employer could find this unacceptable. — Irene It’s true that the risk in relying on only employment income is bigger today. Job security levels have declined, and the cost of living has risen, pushing individuals to consider running a business on the side. Yet employers don’t fancy the idea. You are asking why this should be the case. First, it isn’t wrong for an employee to have personal investment initiatives. As a matter of fact, it subsidises the scope of employer investment in staff satisfaction through reward. The question to really be concerned about is whether the employee’s investment interferes with their desired level of performance. For example, when a one-hour meeting is interrupted by a number of telephone conversations related to the employee’s personal business, then there are concerns to address. Also, if the employee’s time is so disrupted by the business that they fail to meet work deadlines, the employer has reason to worry. In principle, every employer requires the full commitment of their staff in terms of

application of skills and competencies. For you, it is commendable that you have chosen to handle your personal business off working hours. This allows you to dedicate the official working hours to the delivery of results. However, what may not be easy to establish is how much energy you are left with to carry out official duties after handling your personal business in the morning. Will you be able to still give your employer the best after some of your physical, mental, and emotional energy has been drained by your business? This is not to condemn the business, but to point out the issues you may need to guard against. In fact, some employers are beginning to embrace the need to support personal development initiatives to their employees. They do so by providing staff loans for the purchase of public share offers, inviting investment firms to give talks, and facilitating informal staff investment associations. In short, you should not feel guilty for endeavouring to make your life better. All you must ensure is that your investments do not affect the interest of your employer. When the business grows to the level that it begins to create such a conflict, consider leaving employment to give the business your full attention. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– GOT A CAREER OR WORK-RELATED PROBLEM? email your questions to jobs@ke.nationmedia.com or Ask Charles, Jobs, Box 49010 GPO Nairobi.

the right opportunities, thus “building a vicious cycle of attraction, growth, and opportunity.” Diminishers, in their diminutive psychology, focus on the “act of recruiting” and displaying their rookies than using their talents, let alone developing them. Unlike multipliers who foster a productive environment, diminishers thrive in corporate situations where titles are given such huge recognition that they become fertile grounds for breeding “little Hitler’s.” Such strait jacketed cultures stiﬂe the ﬂow of knowledge from the head honcho downwards. Diminishers thrive in such companies, where tyranny is the norm. Their ideas become “safe” there. Multipliers allow their team to think, speak and act with reason, creating mental spaces in which people can thrive, while making mistakes. And when charting direction for the company, multipliers push employees to look beyond what they already know. Roadblocks become interesting puzzles for their teams. Diminishers, on the other hand, know it all. Where they are bosses, the team’s initiatives revolve around what the boss knows,

and not what they might learn. In making decisions, multipliers engage colleagues in rigorous debates about issues at hand, increasing the likelihood that the team will carry out required actions. Diminishers make random decisions; alone or with few members of their “kitchen cabinet.” The result is a company “reeling instead of executing.” When it comes to execution, multipliers will delegate to enable their teams to operate independently and own the results, which they then reward. Diminishers have invested a lot in being heroes. They ﬁnish important projects by themselves. After all, they are the smartest in the room, they reason. So, how does one become a multiplier? Well, HBR argues that some get theirs with maturity and experience. Others have to be told on their faces. The general suggestion is that you “play your chips sparingly” by dispensing your thoughts in small, intense doses, leaving room for others. Ask insightful questions that open up the team to stop, think, and rethink. kmutunga@ke.nationmedia.com

Why you need to be punctual for the interview

The importance of arriving in good time for your job interview will always be a point to emphasise. Getting there about 15 minutes in advance of the time your interview is scheduled not only gives a good impression about being organised and timely, but serves as an indicator that you also value the time of the potential employer. Moreover, it allows you enough time to do any necessary paperwork that might be required of you before the interview proper. Some firms will ask you to fill in an employment application form just before the interview. Again, early arrival makes room for you to feel and acclimatise to the surrounding, cool down and get more relaxed.

Completing the employment form

Quite often, employers would require that you fill in a structured job application form, on which certain specific details about your qualification will be sought. Honesty and clarity are two important values you need to

portray here. Take this as your first assignment, so pay attention to detail b reading the instructions carefully. Complete the form neatly and with all honesty. Never overstate any of your qualifications. And in case you are not confident about the “expected salary”, simply write “open”, according to a management consultancy firm.

You too, need to impress the job seeker

Never forget that as the employer, you too should impress the job seeker at the interview, in order that you get the person you really want. You must bring out impressive facts that will be attractive to the person you are willing to employ. These would include getting their attention on the financial stability of the company, the conducive working environment, the company’s reputation, available opportunities to learn and to grow, any available flexibility (for example, working hours and days), and so on.

Keep your biases aside, and be fully attentive To varying degrees, interviewing personnel can get influenced by personal biases. The very reason management consultants advise that you need to keep an open mind when interviewing candidates for a job. Be alert, and focus your attention to the relevant abilities of the job seeker. Given space, your biases could make you lose out on a candidate that would be the one to make the difference your company badly needs.

Obvious body language As an interviewer, be advised against body language that directly influences the answers of the candidate. An example is nodding your head while asking a question in which you are keen on a “yes” answer. If the candidate badly wants the job, he or she will obviously answer in the affirmative for the sake of getting the job. If so much of this goes on during the interview, your chance of ending up with the wrong employee will only increase.

Step out with your head up to move on after job loss If you’ve lost your job, be it by being fired, laid off, or retrenched, the ability to bounce back through another job depends on your attitude.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Nation Media Group the leading media house in East and Central Africa is seeking applicants who are performance driven, committed, with excellent skills to enhance and grow our courier business.

Only shortlisted applicants shall be contacted It is painful, but don’t sulk. Keep your head up and stay composed. This will keep your senses in correct form to effectively research on alternative opportunities and how best to warm up to them. Career experts contend that the sooner you are able to accept the job loss the faster you will be able to move on. Too much of looking back could disrupt your focus on the necessary action you must take to either get another job or switch to an alternative source of income.

Cover letter shines only with great effort

In job application, the cover letter is your first contact with the potential employer. You definitely want that to be a pleasant and memorable encounter. Put great effort in the letter, even if it means drafting it more than 15 times if you must. You have to get the right tone and to present an impressive picture. Make the introduction powerful to capture attention. Aim to place the most important information at the top. Let the content be concise and striking enough to carry the reader through to the end. Don’t take it for granted that your CV will speak for you. It is the cover letter that draws attention to your CV.

Keep acting skills out unless it’s an audition

Don’t go into a job interview and start acting up a character. Your assumed personality and adopted intonation could varnish when the interview room heats up. The embarrassment could make you lose concentration. Be yourself and be professional, and you will enjoy the interview even if you don’t make it to the job.

FRENCH OPEN

The champion-slayer of Paris With No.1 Federer felled, Soldering waits for Nadal as champs toppled

By LARRY NGALA

Kenya’s Richard Ainley yesterday levelled the tough playing Kigali Golf Club’s par 72 course, to lead the surviving ﬁeld of 20 players into today’s third round of the one million shillings KCB Rwanda Open. Ainley on 144, will be in the company of day one leader Uganda’s Deo Akope and another leading Kenyan pro Jacob Okello, The two shot 76 and 75 in yesterday’s second round which saw 13 over par making the cut for 146. Simon Ngige also with 76 was on his own with 147, with home player Jean Baptiste tying on 148 with Anil Shah who shot level par 72. Four other players were grouped together on 150 at the close of the day where birdies became very elusive.

PARIS

afael Nadal’s world laid to waste last year and now Roger Federer ruthlessly put to the sword, Sweden’s Robin Soderling is clearly the undisputed champion-slayer of Paris. As rain fell from a dark Parisian sky on Tuesday, Soderling towered through the murk, unleashing thunderbolt serves and ferocious forehands to leave the Swiss defending champion reeling and silence a proFederer crowd on Court Chatrier. A day later, after-shocks rumbled around Roland Garros as Serena Williams became the latest champion to topple. The American suffered a devastating quarter-final defeat, losing a three-set cliffhanger to Australia’s Samantha Stosur after squandering a match point. Serbian Novak Djokovic, the former Australian Open champion, suffered a similar fate when the third seed

Impossible gap

Those in this group included Kopan Timbe who fought his way to the leaderboard with a level par 72 after a poor 78 in the opening round while David Odhiambo, Ali Kimani and local pro Emmanuel Ruterana shot 73, 74 and 77 to also ﬁnish on 150. One of the favourites for top prize Dismas Indiza was a total of nine shots behind the leader an almost impossible gap to close particularly on such a tough course. The pros will be joined by local amateurs during tomorrow’s fourth and ﬁnal round where the leading pro will take home Sh192,000.

37 Record number of times Soldering has beaten Nadal in French Open

blew a two-set lead against journeyman Jurgen Melzer for the 29-yearold to reach his first grand slam semifinal, the first Austrian since Thomas Muster in 1995 to achieve the feat. Soderling’s 3-6 6-3 7-5 6-4 victory was the biggest upset at the claycourt grand slam since... well 12 months ago when he ended Nadal’s four-year stranglehold on the French Open with an equally destructive show of force. Fifth seed Soderling had lost all 12 of his matches against Federer, including last year’s final when the Swiss completed a career grand slam.

Loss a bombshell

Federer’s loss was more of a bombshell as he had reached the semi-ﬁnal of each of the last 23 grand slams, an incredible sequence since 2004 when he lost in the third round at Roland Garros to Gustavo Kuerten. Should Nadal reclaim his title on Sunday Federer could even lose his world number one ranking, but he still managed to ﬁnd some humour,

saying: “They all come to an end at some stage. You hope it doesn’t happen, but they do. I mean, it was a great run. Now I’ve got the quarterﬁnal streak going, I guess. Conditions were on the rough (side) but he came up with some great tennis.” Soderling thoroughly deserved his victory and has clearly acquired a taste for battering egos. “Of course, it’s nice to beat the

world number one two years in a row on the centre court,” Sweden’s only man in the world’s top 100 said. With Federer in search of grass courts and Djokovic out of the way, Nadal’s route to re-take his title and the world No. 1 spot looks enticing, although danger lurks in the form of Soderling, still the only man to beat Nadal 37 times at Roland Garros. It was the fall of world number

one Williams that made the biggest impact, however, as she had seemed to be closing in on a 13th grand slam title and her first in Paris since 2002. It was a first victory against a current world number one for Stosur, who stunned four-time champion Justine Henin in round four, while for Williams it was her first grand slam defeat having held matchpoint since the 1999 Australian Open.

Kara set to maintain Coast Rally lead in Kiliﬁ next week By ABDULRAHMAN SHERIFF

Naushad Kara is all set to maintain the lead in the second round of Coast Rally Championship to be held in Kiliﬁ next week. Kara is working on his Subaru Impreza N12 at Lota Motors workshop in Tudor, Mombasa, where, in an in-

Ainely leads KCB Open golf in Kigali

terview with the Nation, he predicted a ﬁerce battle for the top spot. “I am preparing myself for the event and aiming to win,” he said. The Lota Motorsports’ Kara won the premiere round in Tiomin, Diani, on March 21 as top Mombasa drivers Yamakasi Rally Team’s Said Hamad and KNRC Division Two ace

Izhar Mirza of Coast Pekee fell oﬀ. Mombasa Motor Club (MMC) chairman Roy McKenzie said they have set aside funds to make the surface competitor-friendly. Mirza’s state-of-the-art Mitsubishi Evo9 is in good nick after being ﬁnetuned to sea- level settings following the Kisumu KCB Rally.

Outgoing KNRC Division 3 champion Hamad is aiming to eclipse him in Kiliﬁ but Kara will out to prove that his 7th ranking in the 2009 KCB Mombasa Rally and the Tiomin victory was not a ﬂuke. He will once again be navigated by Mombasa Mayor Ahmed Modhar’s son, Eddy Mohammed Ahmed Mohdhar.

Wangari, Yator shine as top start skip Police meet By CHRIS MUSUMBA

With a galaxy of elite runners opting to skip the Kenya Police Athletics Championship, Vincent Yator and Monica Wangare dominated the long distance races in their speciality as the curtains came down on the two day event staged at Nyayo National Stadium. Yator, who is eying to make it to the Africa Senior Athletics Championship next month in Nairobi, was within the qualifying mark in the men 5,000m race but ran out of steam in the ﬁnal two laps to ﬁnish in 13: 46.8, missing out on the set 13.30.00 standard for the 12-lap race.

Hot pursuit

Ishmael Busindish 13:49.1 and Geoffrey Siele 13:57.6 followed in hot pursuit to claim the second and third slot. Ezekiel Chebii 14:00.0 was fourth ahead of Victor Cheloboi 14:00.8. In men 800m race, Kipkurui Mutai had to rely on his very last step to confirm his victory as he edged out Alex Sang. Both athletes took the initiative after 600m and Mutai was stronger enough to post a time of 1:47.56 with Sang second in 1:47.58 while Geoffrey Kibet 1:47.61, David Mutinda 1:47.87 and Andrew Kiptoo 1:48.00.

Ayimba opts for experience Shujaa reserved for prodigies as veterans ﬁll up main team slots By AYUMBA AYODI

here were no surprises as Kenya national sevens team head coach Benjamin Ayimba unveiled squads for this weekend’s Safaricom Sevens. Kenya Harlequin winger Sydney “Ashy” Ashioya and Nondescripts hooker Benedict Nyambu return to the Kenya Team. Ashioya was impressive in the Bamburi Rugby Super Series, winning several Man of the Match accolades for Rhinos who retained the title. Nyambu also featured prominently for Cheetahs, who lost to Rhinos in the ﬁnal. A noticeable exclusion was former Kenya captain Innocent Simiyu, locked out with an injury sustained in London, as Quins youthful winger Leon Adongo, a stand-out performer in London and Scotland, remains in the main team that is captained by Mwamba forward Humphrey Kayange. Ayimba lived up to his prom-

ise to stick to experience in the ﬁrst side and reserved the second, 2000 Safari Sevens winners Shujaa, mainly for Academy players. Dennis Muhanji moved in from the main team to join another Quins prodigy, Patrice Agunda, and veterans Wilson K’opondo, Allan Onyango, Andrew Amonde and Vincent Mose. More pleasing is the drafting of Nakuru’s Oscar Ouma, Kenya Commercial Bank eigthman Ken Isindu and Quins’ Peter Abuoga in Shujaa, the crowd’s favourite, which will be handled by Ayimba’s deputy, Felix “Toti” Ochieng’ with Newton Ong’alo as manager.

Muhiddin conﬁdent of overcoming Uganda

Top seeds

By SAMMY KITULA

Kenya Team: Collins Injera (Mwamba), Lavin Asego (Mwamba); Gibson Weru (Nakuru), Victor Sudi (Quins), Leon Adongo (Quins), Humphrey Kayange [captain, Mwamba), Sidney Ashioya (Quins), Dennis Mwanja (KCB), Brian Nyikuli (Impala), Benedict Nyambu (Nondies), Horace Otieno (Mwamba), Biko Adema (Nondies), Management: George Odhiambo (physio), Benjamin Ayimba (coach); Oscar Osir (manager), Geoffrey Kimani (sprint coach); Shujaa: Wilson Kopondo (Machine), Andrew Amonde (KCB), Dennis Muhanji (Quins), Patrice Agunda (Quins), Allan Onyango (Quins), Peter Abuoga (Quins), Naftali Bondo (Quins), Ken Isindu (KCB), Oscar Ouma (Nakuru), Vincent Mose (Impala), Nato Simiyu (Impala), Charles Kanyi (Nondies), Management: Newton Ongalo (manager), Felix Ochieng’ (coach), Chris Makachia (physio)

Fans may be unconvinced of Harambee Stars’ chances in Sunday’s African Nations Championships (Chan) clash with Uganda at Nyayo National Stadium but head coach Twahir Muhidin insists they will advance. Stars lost 0-1 against the Cranes in the ﬁrst leg played in Kampala two weeks ago and must win by at least two goals to have a chance of making it to the ﬁnals in Sudan. The match is bound to revive old rivalries as both sides are desperate for victory. Fur-

Kenya Team, the top seeds, take on France second side Les Bleus, Samurai International and Zambia. Shujaa are in Pool C alongside Argentina, Zimbabwe and Grenoble.

ther, the hosts will have to overcome the jinx they’ve had against their neighbours. Uganda holds the best head-to-head record (3-0) going into this match but that should count less when they meet on Sunday. “The Ugandans believe they can always beat us but it’s about time we ended this long run without a win against them,” Muhidin said yesterday morning after a Stars training session at the City Stadium.

Maicon ‘wants to join Real Madrid after World Cup’ MADRID

Inter Milan’s Maicon wants to join Real Madrid, the Brazil World Cup full back said yesterday. The 28-year-old has also been linked by media reports with a move to Manchester City but he is keen to follow new Real coach Jose Mourinho by leaving the San Siro for the Bernabeu. “I want to play for Madrid. It would be a great opportunity in my career,” Maicon told the Spanish sports daily AS.” Maicon helped Inter win the Champions League ﬁnal at the Bernabeu last month with a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich, thereby completing a

treble for the Italian club. “I’m going to say it very clearly so there is no misunderstanding: I want to play with Madrid, I don’t want to go to Manchester City,” the full back added. “I have a great relationship with Mourinho and it would be nice to be able to play under him again. “We have won a lot of things together and I hope we can repeat it.” Maicon is a member of Dunga’s Brazil squad for the World Cup in South Africa which starts next week. “My priority at the moment is Brazil and to arrive in the best form possible for the World Cup,” he said.

Mandela expected at opening and closing ceremonies Six years ago, tears of joy rolled down Nelson Mandela’s cheeks when South Africa won the right to host the 2010 World Cup. In a week’s time, Mandela will relive his dream when he attends the World Cup’s opening ceremony at Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg. News that Madiba will be among the dignitaries at the opening and closing games was confirmed by Sport and Recreation Minister Makhenkesi Stofile on Wednesday. “Mandela has demanded to attend the World Cup. He requested four tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies, and the organisers have granted his wish,” Stofile said. But the Nelson Mandela Foundation was cagey on whether Madiba would

attend. While attending the official handing over ceremony for the Soccer City stadium, Fifa president Sepp Blatter termed Mandela “the most charismatic humanist alive”. The Swiss head of soccer’s governing body also described the 90,000-capacity stadium as a magnificent flagship for Africa. Mandela, 91, is expected to be among the VIPs at the opening match between South Africa and Mexico although ill-health could prevent him from attending. “The right legacy for this event will be ‘let’s celebrate Africa’s humanity’,” Blatter said.”Let’s celebrate the most charismatic humanist alive – Nelson Mandela. We do hope Nelson Mandela will be here ... This will be the highlight.” - Reuters

razil gave a glimpse of the Latin American ﬂair they will bring to the World Cup in South Africa with a 3-0 warm-up win over Zimbabwe on Wednesday, a victory tempered by an injury to goalkeeper Julio Cesar. While Brazil enjoyed a rapturous reception at the 60,000-capacity National Sport Stadium in Zimbabwe’s capital Harare, Fifa president Sepp Blatter was attending the oﬃcial handing-over of the showpiece Soccer City Stadium near Soweto, Johannesburg, the venue for the World Cup’s opening match

on June 11 and the final on July 11. Brazil, who will attempt to win the World Cup for the sixth time, were given a decent workout by Zimbabwe, ranked a lowly 110th in the world. “In friendlies, the result is the least important,” midfielder Elano told reporters. “The important thing today was that we played well and I think the fans were satisfied with the spectacle.” Michel Bastos, Robinho and Elano scored for Dunga’s side although the coach would have been concerned by the sight of Cesar being substituted in the 26th minute. Brazil doctor Jose Luis Runco said the Inter Milan keeper had been taken off as a precaution after hurting his back.

Bereft of ideas

Serbia again looked bereft of ideas as they followed up last weekend’s 1-0 defeat by fellow World Cup ﬁnalists New Zea-

land with a tepid 0-0 draw against Poland. Coach Radomir Antic rested defensive stalwart Nemanja Vidic and the back four looked all at sea in the opening 30 minutes, only two superb saves by reserve goalkeeper Bojan Isailovic keeping Serbia on level terms. Goals from Enrique Vera and Lucas Barrios gave Paraguay a 2-0 win over Greece in a warm-up match between the two World Cup-bound sides.

Amended contract

England’s World Cup hopes received a boost with coach Fabio Capello agreeing to remain in charge until 2012. The Italian, linked in Italian and British newspapers with the vacant manager’s job at Inter Milan, has signed an amended contract which removed a break clause option, the English FA said. With the deadline for naming 23-man squads for the ﬁnals now passed, Italy coach Marcello Lippi was mulling

over taking midfielder Andrea Cossu as a 24th man if Mauro Camoranesi’s knee injury does not improve. Camoranesi was included in the world champions’ 23man squad but can be replaced before the first match. European champions Spain, fancied by many to win a first World Cup, planned to give midfielder Cesc Fabregas a run-out in a warm-up against South Korea yesterday. The midfielder has been recovering from a cracked bone in his right leg and has not played for two months. Striker Fernando Torres is close to a return from a knee injury but must wait a little longer for playing time, coach Vicente del Bosque said. (Reuters)

Lions need to improve, says Le Guen

WORLD CUP WRAP MOMBASA

ameroon coach Paul Le Guen says the Indomitable Lions could do with a major improvement if they are to progress beyond the group stages at the World Cup in South Africa. The Lions slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Portugal on Tuesday, in a game from which captain Samuel Eto’o was ejected after receiving a second yellow card. The loss took the West Africans’ winless streak to six matches. “It was a tough game. The beginning was not too bad but after, it became diﬃcult because we were down to 10,” Le Guen said.

Still optimistic

“But I am still optimistic because I think we will get better.” Le Guen cited the weekend’s 1-1 draw against Slovakia and hard work in training as contributing to the team’s underpar performance in Covilha. “We had a good game last Saturday, we were a little bit tired, we worked hard, so it is not a surprise to suﬀer against one of the favourites for the tournament,” he said. The coach however steered clear of the conduct of his

captain, Eto’o, who has been involved in verbal tussle with former Cameroon star Roger Milla. “The most important (thing) is to have Samuel Eto’o ready for the beginning of the World Cup,” Le Guen said. “He had a week of holidays and now he has to concentrate on the World Cup.”

Paraguay too good for Greece Paraguay sealed a moraleboosting 2-0 victory over Greece on Wednesday as the two World Cup finalists clashed in Winterthur, Switzerland, in their last warmup game before flying to South Africa. Paraguay took the initiative from the kickoff and Greece goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas made a good early save with his legs from Lucas Barrios. The Greek defence was in total disarray and Paraguay took the lead in the ninth minute.

Solve some details

Cameroon play their final warm-up game against Serbia in Belgrade today before leaving for South Africa, a game which Le Guen hopes to use to “solve some details”. He acknowledged, however, that on the team’s current form it will be a formidable task for Cameroon to get out of a group which also includes the Netherlands, Denmark and Japan. “We have to work during the next ten days and we will be ready, I’m convinced.” Meanwhile, Nigeria arrived in South Africa after a delayed departure from their training camp in the UK. Their charter aircraft was grounded at Stansted Airport in the south of England by technical problems. The team was forced to stay an extra 24 hours in London while the Nigerian government found a replacement ﬂight. (BBC online)

France coach Raymond Domenech called it a “scandal” after around 200 children were prevented from watching the team train. About 3,000 raucous fans, mostly local children proudly wearing their football kits, cheered the players on during a session at Saint-Pierre on Wednesday. However, around 200 youngsters were stopped from entering the stadium by security, who had planned for a crowd of no more than 3,000. “The fact 200 fans stayed

at the door is unacceptable,” Domenech told reporters yesterday. “They were kids, not hooligans. “I don’t know who took the decision but it’s a scandal.” The players were looking forward to seeing lots of children in the stadium and there were plenty of empty seats. The idea to come for the ﬁrst time to the tropical French Indian Ocean island of Reunion, famous for its spectacular scenery with active volcanoes, luxuriant vegetation and wild beaches, came from Domenech.

The new-look New Zealand back three – including youngsters Tommy Smith and Winston Reid – looks set to remain intact for the World Cup after coach Ricki Herbert hinted there would be few changes from the team which beat Serbia 1-0 in a warm-up match on Saturday. Smith, 20, and Reid, 21, have just ﬁve caps between them but seem to have displaced experienced Ivan Vicelich and Ben Sigmund.

Sh1.2bn sought for witnesses

Wako says request follows signing of new law setting up agency By BERNARD NAMUNANE In Kampala, Uganda

he government has requested for Sh1.2 billion to finance the new Witness Protection Agency. The revelation came as International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said his team

was facing problems in carrying out investigations in Kenya. Attorney General Amos Wako said the funds were requested following President Kibaki’s decision to sign into law the Witness Protection (Amendment) Bill three weeks ago. The Act establishes a protection agency that will move witnesses and whistle-blowers to safety. “We have asked for Sh1.2 billion to fund the agency in the budget that will be read next week. The Witness Protection Agency will be operational as soon as the budget is read,” he said on the sidelines of the Review Conference of the Rome Statute at Munyonyo, in Kampala, Uganda. Mr Moreno-Ocampo and non-

state actors from Kenya urged the government to take quick action to secure witnesses who are expected to give evidence before the ICC. The ICC prosecutor said while The Hague would protect the witnesses it had identiﬁed, it was the duty of the Kenyan Government to give security to its citizens. “I am oﬀering protection to my witnesses under our own programme. However, it is the duty of national states, among them Kenya, to protect its own witnesses. This is a matter which has been discussed at Cabinet level,” he said. Mr Moreno-Ocampo said his team was facing problems collecting evidence to identify the crimes against

humanity and linking them to some suspects. Meanwhile, Kenya’s grand coalition partners were at loggerheads in Kampala yesterday over a decision by ICC members to establish a liaison oﬃce in Africa. The ODM accused PNU of working with other African countries to block The Hague’s activities in the continent.
