Mr Duale said Muslim lead-
ers had pleaded with the police
boss to impose a curfew for
public and private vehicles on
the Lamu-Mombasa highway,
but allow Muslims to access the
mosques for prayers.
The curfew was imposed a
day after seven people, includ-
ing four policemen, were killed
by gunmen who spoke Somali
and Swahili. The gang sprayed
a bus with bullets near Mambo
Sasa forest in Witu Division.
A Land Cruiser belonging to
the police that was approaching
the area was also sprayed with
bullets. Six people died.
Religious obligations
Due to the rising insecurity
in Lamu County, I do hereby
issue curfew orders within
Lamu County from July 20,
2014 to August 2014 from 6.30
pm to 6.30 am, Mr Kimaiyo
ordered on Saturday.
He announced the ban as
security agencies grappled
with rising cases of insecurity
in Lamu County for the last
month.
Yesterday, Mr Duale pushed
for Muslims to be allowed to
continue with their prayers.
Maintaining security in Lamu
County is paramount, but de-
nying Muslims there religious
obligation is unacceptable, he
said. Lamu County should be
allowed to go to the Mosque for
the last 10 days of Ramadhan
prayers despite the curfew.
The Muslim faith, he said,
supersedes curfew orders.
Earlier on Sunday, Lamu
County Assembly Speaker
Mohamed Hashim said the
curfew would adversely aect
the economy of the area, as well
as stop residents from adhering
to Ramadhan prayers.

A
stando looms between
Muslims and the police
over a dusk-to-dawn
curfew in Lamu imposed after
the death of seven people in a
suspected Al-Shabaab attack.
The Leader of Majority in
Parliament, Mr Aden Duale
yesterday criticised the cur-
few and asked Muslims to
ignore it as religious leaders
and Lamu politicians gave
the government 48 hours to
rescind the order issued on
Saturday. Failure to reverse
the order would force them to
seek legal redress.
However, Inspector-General
of Police David Kimaiyo yester-
day maintained that the curfew
order was in force even as Mr
Duale said he had pleaded with
Mr Kimaiyo to provide security
for Muslims to enable them to
pray in mosques during the last
10 days of Ramadhan.
The last 10 days of Ramad-
han are very special days in the
life of every Muslim; they are
the most blessed days in the
blessed month of Ramadhan,
because its in the Holy month
that the Quran was revealed,
he said in a statement.
Yesterday, more than 500
Muslim faithful from Lamu
Island protested the curfew.
Just a day after the order,
many Lamu Muslims rejected
the curfew saying it would
greatly affect their evening
prayers. Some of them con-
verged at Mkunguni Square,
where worshippers from more
than 35 mosques demanded
revocation of the curfew.
County Commissioner Miiri
Njenga said a special County
Security Committee would be
convened to specically ad-
dress religious issues.
However, Mr Kimaiyo
warned Lamu residents against
ignoring the curfew without a
written permit from the Lamu
County police commander.
Remain indoors
Every person within Lamu
County is directed to remain in-
doors in the premises at which
he normally resides, or at such
other premises as may be au-
thorised during the period the
curfew is in force except under
and in accordance with terms
and conditions of a written
permit granted by the County
Commander, Mr Kimaiyo said
in a statement.
Meanwhile, Muslims for
Human Rights (Muhuri) of-
cial Khelef Khalifa and Haki
Africa executive director
Hussein Khalid opposed the
curfew, terming it an aront
to Muslims freed of movement
and worship.
The curfew is unconstitu-
tional as it violates the freedom
of worship and government
failure to provide security
should not be used to punish
people who have nothing to do
with the ineciency of security
agents, Mr Khalifa said in a
statement.
He demanded lifting of the
curfew to allow Muslims to
continue with their Magharib
(evening) prayers and night
worship as part of their Ram-
adhan calendar.
The curfew, he said, would
also adversely aect the activi-
ties of shermen, who lay their
traps after dark.
Lamu West MP Shariff
Athman said the government
should respect the Constitu-
tion and Muslims right of
worship. He said leaders
met with security agents
in the county and they had
agreed that they consult Mr
Kimaiyo.
In Nairobi, Mr Duale said
Muslims supported security
agents in maintaining law
and order and flushing out
criminals in Lamu County,
but they cannot interfere
with the freedom of worship
by the Muslims in this Holy
month.
However, Mr Kimaiyo said
police had to carry on with
their work.

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has
been urged to consider setting up
a special court to deal with the ris-
ing criminal cases related to the
attacks in Lamu.
Justice Edward Muriithi said
that this would assist in quicker
dispensation of justice.
The judge made the remarks
while reviewing the decision to
release on bail a matatu driver
linked to the raids.
Mr Muriithi said Mr Dyna Sulei-
man will now remain at Shimo La
Tewa Prison in Mombasa during
the hearing until further orders are
issued by the court.
The judge had earlier released
Mr Suleiman, a diabetic, on a
Sh500, 000 bond with three sure-
ties of the same amount.
Application for bond
Justice Muriithi said the appli-
cation for bond shall be reviewed
after every 30 days in view of Mr
Suleimans medical condition,
pending trial and determination
of the case.
Mr Muriithis doctor is at liberty
to visit him in prison. He should
make a report, which will be looked
at during a review of the accuseds
case, said the judge.
He said Mr Suleimans family
would be allowed to provide spe-
cial food for him.
Justice Muriithi said the presence
of a special court would enhance
faster restoration of security and
maintenance of the law.
Mr Suleiman is charged jointly
with Mr Mahadi Swaleh Mahadi
alias Jesus, with 60 counts of
murder.
Separately, a man who has been
under investigation over the raids
was freed on a Sh5 million bond
with a surety of similar amount or
a Sh3 million cash bail.
The Director of Public Pros-
ecutions, Mr Keriako Tobiko, did
not oppose Mr Ali Said Ahmed
Bujraans application.
Form court
to deal with
Lamu raids,
Mutunga told
In addition to the punitive damages,
the verdict also awarded more than
$16 million (Sh1.4 billion) in com-
pensatory damages to the estate of
Michael Johnson Sr.
During the four-week trial, lawyers
for Johnsons widow, Ms Cynthia
Robinson, argued that the tobacco
company was negligent in inform-
ing consumers of the dangers of
consuming tobacco and thus led to
Johnson contracting lung cancer from
smoking cigarettes.
They said Johnson, who died at 36,
had become addicted to cigarettes
and failed multiple attempts to quit
smoking.
The Escambia County jury returned
its verdict after some 15 hours of de-
liberations.
RJ Reynolds took a calculated
risk by manufacturing cigarettes and
selling them to consumers without
properly informing them of the haz-
ards, Ms Robinsons lawyer, Mr Willie
Gary, said in a statement.
As a result of their negligence, my
clients husband suered from lung
cancer and eventually lost his life.
We hope that this verdict will send
a message to RJ Reynolds and other
big tobacco companies that will force
them to stop putting the lives of in-
nocent people in jeopardy.
RJ Reynolds plans to appeal the
court decision and verdict, vice presi-
dent and assistant general counsel J.
Jeery Raborn said.
The landmark award was far be-
yond the realm of reasonableness and
fairness, he said in a statement.
Reynolds is confident that the
court will follow the law and not allow
this runaway verdict to stand, said Mr
Raborn, calling the damages grossly
excessive and impermissible under
state and constitutional law.
Smoking remains the leading pre-
ventable cause of premature death in
the United States, killing nearly half
a million Americans each year, health
experts say.
Some 18 per cent of Americans now
smoke, down from 42 per cent in the
1960s. The RJ Reynolds court verdict
comes only days after its parent com-
pany, Reynolds American, announced
it would acquire rival Lorillard to cre-
ate a behemoth aimed at conquering
the growing e-cigarette market.
Recent growth in e-cigarettes,
which deliver nicotine in a vapour
rather than smoke, comes as con-
ventional cigarette sales drop amid
tight consumer spending and health
concerns.
The deal could remake the US to-
bacco market, one of the worlds most
important, with annual sales of more
than $90 billion in 2013, according to
research house
Euromonitor.
With tobacco smoke claiming a life
every six seconds, the tar-free, elec-
tronic alternative could help prevent
much of the cancer, heart and lung
disease and strokes caused by the tox-
ins in traditional cigarettes, a group of
50 doctors and policy experts told the
World Health Organisation in May.
In January the United States marked
the 50th anniversary of the rst sur-
geon generals report warning that
smoking caused lung cancer.
Since then, the habit has been
attributed to 13 kinds of cancer and
a host of other diseases, including
liver and colon cancer, blindness and
diabetes. AFP

Sacking Atwoli, Mugo
from NSSF sparks row
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | Cabinet Secretary on the spot over decision to retire ocials from Sh126bn pension fund
BY DENNIS ODUNGA
@dennisakwenda
dodunga@ke.nationmedia.com
L
abour Secretary Kazungu
Kambis decision to retire
workers and employers
representatives from the NSSF
board has drawn wide criticism
with Cotu threatening to call
a strike unless the decision is
reversed.
Teachers and political leaders
also sharply criticised the move,
describing it as irregular and in-
tended to cover up corruption at
the pensions fund, which manages
over Sh126 billion of retirement
savings for workers in both the
private and public sectors.
Kambi had no powers
The Central Organisation of
Trade Union (Cotu) yesterday
declared it will call a nationwide
strike from August 4, if Mr Kambi
does not reverse his decision to
remove Mr Francis Atwoli of Cotu
and Ms Jacqueline Mugo of the
Federation of Kenya Employers
(FKE) from the NSSF board.
The Kenya Union of Post-
Primary Education Teachers
(Kuppet) warned that its members
would withhold their contributions
to NSSF following the removal of
the two ocials on Friday.
Kuppet chairman Omboko
Milemba said yesterday that Mr
Kambi had no powers to take
such action.
We suspect Mr Kambis action
is meant to cover up corruption
at the NSSF, he said.
Two MPs also threatened to
table a censure Motion in Parlia-
ment against Mr Kambi.
Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi and his
Matungu counterpart, Mr David
Were, said they will table a Motion
to impeach Mr Kambi.
Ms Mugo has said the FKE
board will be meeting today (Mon-
day) to decide its next course of
action, including demanding the
revocation of the Kenya Gazette
notice through which Mr Kambi
retired her and Mr Atwoli.
Workers representatives from
42 trade unions aliated to Cotu,
led by Mr Atwoli, yesterday faulted
the government for intimidating
those who advocated for proper
governance while glorifying those
promoting mismanagement of
public resources.
Mr Atwoli attributed his
tribulations to his bold stand on
corruption and cited his move to
expose dubious deals through
which, he claimed, NSSF had
lost billions of shillings in the
last six months.
I am being hunted down be-
cause of my rm resolve to expose
thieves out to embezzle workers
funds, Mr Atwoli said. He accused
the Ethics and Anti-Corruption
Commission (EACC) of reluc-
tance to investigate the matter
after its ocials were allegedly
asked to go slow on the issue by
inuential government ocials.
I asked the government to take
auditors to the NSSF to conrm
these claims after I wrote a state-
ment over the Sh5 billion scandals.
But someone at the EACC was
told to lock the les, he said, add-
ing, it was unfortunate that Mr
Kambi did not have the workers
interests at heart.
Popularly elected
The Cotu boss also criticised
the Cabinet Secretarys claims
that he does not speak for work-
ers. Kambi is being sent and
whoever sent him, let him keep
o, he said.
Other Cotu ocials said Mr
Atwoli sits in the NSSF board
of trustees as an elected leader,
whose removal can only be sanc-
tioned by the workers themselves,
not the Cabinet Secretary. They
vowed to ght the governments
scheme to weaken unions by sup-
porting rivals.
Atwoli was popularly elected
and has the full mandate of Ken-
yan workers, Kenya Electrical
Trade and Allied Workers Union
boss Ernest Nadome said.
Mr Kambi said that they had
served longer than stipulated in
law. He said he was implementing
laws enacted in February, which
stipulate that a trustee can only
serve a maximum of two terms,
equivalent to six years.
According to him, both Mr At-
woli and Ms Mugo had served in
the NSSF board for 15 years. He

workers themselves.

also said Mr Atwoli had failed to
attend nine consecutive meetings
of the board.
I will write to Cotu and FKE
to nominate new members, he
had said.
Both the workers and employ-
ees representatives have, however,
faulted Mr Kambis interpretation
of the new regulations, especially
the decision to apply them ret-
rospectively. There are also
questions whether the minister
has any power to give directives
on the issue.
After the ouster of the two, only
Erastus Mwongera and Cornelius
Ogutu remained to represent FKE
and Cotu respectively.
Other board members are Mr Is-
mail Noor, the Principal Secretary
for Labour, Mr Mutua Kilaka, who
represents the National Treasury
and Mr Daud Mohammed, the
board chairman.

Labour Cabinet Secre-
tary Kazungu Kambi was
yesterday asked to reverse
his decision to remove Cotu
secretary-general Francis
Atwoli from the National
Social Security Fund board
of trustees or face protests
from workers.
Politicians and trade un-
ionists from western Kenya
said the move by the Cabi-
net Secretary was evidence
that there was a scheme by
some senior government
ocials to undermine the
Cotu boss.
Mr Caleb Jumba, the
western region secretary
of the Kenya Building and
Construction Workers
union and a businessman,
Mr Abdalla Wanyama,
said they were mobilising
workers in the region to
take part in demonstra-
tions if Mr Atwoli was not
reinstated to the board with
immediate eect.
Fight graft
Mr Ben Ombima, a mem-
ber of the Vihiga County
Assembly, said the decision
by Mr Kambi was driven
by a grudge following Mr
Atwolis resolve to ght
graft at NSSF.
Since the labour min-
ister was appointed, there
is very little he has done
apart from ghting workers
through the Cotu boss; we
will deal with these forces
unless they withdraw their
onslaught against Mr At-
woli, said Mr Ombima.
He told Mr Kambi to
let Cotu decide who takes
over from Mr Atwoli at the
board.
The leaders asked
President Uhuru Kenyatta
to intervene in the matter
to ensure Mr Atwoli and
the Federation of Kenya
Employers (FKE) Chief
Executive Ocer Jackline
Mugo are back in oce.
URP wing
They claimed the removal
of Mr Atwoli and Mrs Mugo
was meant to pave way for
corrupt deals at the NSSF
board of trustees and that
workers could end up los-
ing billions of shillings.
What is happening is
a clear scheme by senior
ocials in government to
ght Mr Atwoli for being
steadfast in campaigning
to protect workers money
from being mismanaged,
said Mr Wanyama.
Mr Atwoli claimed on
Saturday that the URP
wing of the Jubilee ad-
ministration was behind
the scheme to have him
out of the NSSF board of
trustees.

W
orkers have opposed a new
employment policy that will
see cabinet secretaries and
principal secretaries get more pow-
ers in hiring and dismissing public
servants.
Cotu secretary-general Francis At-
woli yesterday said the new system
that allows cabinet secretaries to
appoint and dismiss as they wished
was against international labour
standards.
It is unfair to allow cabinet secre-
taries to appoint and dismiss those
they wish. This is against international
norms and we oppose it, he said at
Solidarity Building in Nairobi during
a meeting of top ocials of all Cotu-
aliated unions.
Mr Atwoli accused the government
of resorting to unfair labour practices
meant to silence workers from de-
manding their rights.
They have removed employment
from Public Service Commission and
placed it under cabinet secretaries.
These are unfair labour practices
aimed at putting the workers in a
disadvantaged position, said Mr
Atwoli.
Those conversant with the new
policy say if implemented, it will
remove power to recruit, promote,
train, discipline, dismiss and reward
civil servants from centralised agen-
cies like PSC and the Directorate
of Public Service Management to
individual ministries.
Those opposed to the Policy on
Decentralisation of Human Resource
Management in the Civil Service,
which was launched in May, say key
stakeholders were not involved in its
development as required by the law.
They say if CSs and PSs are going to
be allowed to manage human resource
services in ministries, it would result
in abuse and promote tribalism and
nepotism in hiring.
Currently, the government employs
public servants through an agency sys-
tem where some cadres of employees
are posted centrally to ministries but
supervised by the ministries.
The unionists also cited delays in
the appointment of Teachers Service
Commission commissioners and su-
premacy wrangles over the mandate
of the National Land Commission at
the Ministry of Lands.
However, Public Service Commis-
sion CEO Alice Otwala has defended
the new system, saying safeguards had
been set against tribalism and nepo-
tism when hiring under CSs.

Kutuny: Opposition
to blame for problems
Mistakes committed by top
Cord leaders in the last regime
were to blame for the current
challenges, a government ocial
said yesterday. The Presidents
Director of Political Aairs
Joshua Kutuny said criticism of
the government was hypocritical.
It is strange that Cord wants

during the burial of Mzee Francis
Murkomen at Chematich centre.
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Former Vice President Kalonzo
Musyoka yesterday urged Ukam-
bani residents to rally behind
him and support the referendum
proposed by Cord.
Speaking during the burial
of former Mbooni MP Fredrick
Mulinge Kalulu in Kitundu village,
Makueni, Mr Kalonzo said the ref-
erendum was not optional.
We want the Jubilee govern-
ment to know that referendum is
not optional. We have to do it for
the change in poor governance,
he said.
Mr Kalonzo said that one of
the major reforms to be realised
through the referendum is the
disbandment of the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Com-
mission (IEBC).
He said lawyer Kethi Kilonzo
would be one of those nominated
to sit in the professional committee
that will formulate the referendum
questions.
Speaking at the event, Makueni
Governor Kivutha Kibwana said
leaders in Ukambani would follow
Mr Musyoka the Wiper party
leader.
But Yatta MP Francis Mwan-
gangi diered with his colleagues,
saying it was too soon to call for

T
he government has told
the Opposition to forget
about a referendum and
give it a break from political
friction.
Deputy President William Ruto
said it was time Cord respected
constitutional institutions and
allowed the government to do
its work without unnecessary
public incitement.
The proposed referendum
is expected to call for the
disbandment of the Independ-
ent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC), among
other issues.
Mr Ruto said the government
was committed to serving every-
one, regardless to their political
aliation.
We are serving all equally
and equitably both in resource
allocation and distribution of
jobs, said Mr Ruto.
The Deputy President added:
Uhuru Kenyatta and I are in
charge, and we are on course. Let
those making noise do because
that is what they can do best.
Given that they are idle, what
did you expect them to do any-
way? asked Mr Ruto, who was
addressing faithful yesterday at
Wounifer African Inland Church
in Uasin Gishu County.
He was accompanied by sena-
tors Kipchumba Murkomen,
(Elgeyo-Marakwet] and Isaac
Melly (Uasin Gishu), Uasin Gishu
governor Jackson Mandago and
MPs Samuel Chepkonga (Ain-
abkoi) Jackson Kiptanui (Keiyo
South) and Sakwa Bunyazi
(Nambale).
Mr Ruto said the time when
the ruling party marginalised
some regions for political rea-
sons was long gone. It was, in
any case, not possible under the
current constitutional dispensa-
tion, he added.
Mr Murkomen said Cord
chiefs were misusing the refer-
endum since it should only be
used for a worthy cause, unlike
in the current scenario, where it
is driven by a quest to rule.
I want to tell Cord that there
will be no referendum in Kenya
without dialogue, and they
would rather forget about it
and concentrate on meaningful
constructive criticism, said Mr
Murkomen.
The Deputy President said the
government was committed to
alleviating poverty by providing
a good environment for business
and subsidising farm inputs.
He said the government had
already allocated Sh200 million
for technical training colleges in
60 constituencies and would also
make sure that the remaining
constituencies get them.
He challenged county govern-
ments with agricultural potential
to ensure that they invest in milk
cooling plants to raise produc-
tion.

A
nti-terrorism detectives
in Nairobi are holding
four people who were
found with bomb-making
materials.
The three men and a woman
were picked up from a house
in Majengo on Saturday
night.
Nairobi Police Commander
Benson Kibui said the materi-
als could be assembled into
powerful explosives.
They were arrested after
our ocers were tipped-o
by the public. We are inter-
rogating them to establish
their motives, he said.
Police said they found 11
mobile phones in the house.
Handsets are commonly
used by terrorists as bomb
detonators.
Our officers also found
34 rolls of bhang, added Mr
Kibui.
The four people are being
detained at Buruburu Police
Station.
The arrest comes months
after police launched an
operation to rid the city of
terrorists and their cells.
Since the operation began
in April, more than 4,000
people have been arrested.
Some were deported to So-
malia, while many more were
sent to refugee camps in the
north of the country.
Some Muslim leaders and
the Independent Policing
Oversight Authority (Ipoa)
have expressed discomfort
at the manner in which the
operation is being carried out,
accusing police of high-hand-
edness and corruption.
The operation was launched
in April in reaction to a series
of explosions targeting mata-
tus and businesses.
In the latest attacks on May
16, 12 people were killed and
78 injured in twin bombings at
the busy Gikomba market.
Two others died in a similar
explosion in a passenger bus
on Thika Superhighway.
The operation was con-
centrated in Eastleigh and
extended to other parts of
Nairobi.
Last week, Ipoa released a
damning report blaming po-
lice for harassment, extortion
and assault during the opera-
tion in Eastleigh.
Its chairman, Mr Macharia
Njeru, said the watchdog had
singled out 29 police ocers
whom it would recommend
for prosecution.

A couple and their one-day-old-
baby spent last weekend in the
Thika police cells for subjecting
a child to suering.
They were arrested on Saturday
evening by Childrens ocers and
the police at their house in Makon-
geni estate. The ocers said the
ve-year-old, the step-daughter of
the woman, had serious wounds
all over her body.
Pleas and cries from the woman
did not stop the ocers from ex-
ecuting their duties.
Neighbours threatened to beat
up the couple if police did not take
them into custody.
The small girl, who had been
rescued by good samaritans, had
deep wounds on the face and big
scars on her back, which she said
were inicted on her by the step-
mother.
On the increase
Police officers had pitched
camp at the house for two days
after they were told that the
woman had gone to Thika Level
Five Hospital to have a baby. The
girl was immediately taken to a
childrens home.
Childrens Department ocer
Simiyu Wanyonyi said such cases
of abuse were on the rise and called
on the public to be vigilant.
Nobody has a right to be cruel
to a child just because he or she
is the guardian, he said.
The public, led by the childs
teacher Monica Wanjiku, broke
into the couples house on Thurs-
day morning and found the girl
mopping the oor.
Ms Wanjiku said she got con-
cerned after the girl failed to go
to school for a week.
The girl was hesitant to leave
the house because she was also
taking care of her four-year-old
step-brother.
The arresting ocer, Ms Bilha
Lichuma, said the couple would
appear in court today. (KNA)

T
he government lost more than
Sh2.2 billion in the nancial
year that ended in June 2013.
Auditor-General Edward Ouko
(right) revealed that the billions
went missing between the taxmans
oces and the Ministry of Finance
when revenue was being submitted
to the national government.
Out of the total revenue of Sh815
billion collected in the period 2012/13,
records showed that only Sh 812.7
billion reached the National Treasury,
said the Auditor General.
The discrepancies are mainly due
to unexplained and unreconciled dif-
ferences between revenue statement
balances at the KRA and the records
at the Treasury, he said.
In a report, the Auditor-General in-
dicates that more than 99 per cent of
this amount about Sh2.29 billion
was lost from the money meant for
the recurrent expenditure. He said
Sh94 million was siphoned from the
development expenditure.
It is apparent that there are per-
sistent dierences in accounting for
revenue which has resulted in mis-
statements of the revenue records,
said Mr Ouko.
More than Sh800 billion in revenues
collected by KRA have incomplete or
misleading records. These are records
for more than Sh373 billion from taxes
on income, prots and capital gains
by the taxman.
Another Sh270 billion collected
from taxes on goods and service also
suered the same predicament.
The nancial statements provided
for the audit exercise by the various
ministries, departments and agencies
do not fairly present the nancial posi-
tion of the Government of Kenya and
its funds as at June 2013, Mr Ouko
said in the report.
I was not able to fully comply with
the constitutional provision of Arti-
cle 229 (6) requiring that I conrm
whether or not public money has been
applied lawfully and in an eective
way, he said.
Mr Ouko said the government could
not conrm whether or not the Sh337
billion spent in 2012/2013 was used
lawfully.
The ndings paint a grim picture of
how taxpayers money is used.
According to the report tabled in
the National Assembly on Thursday
by Majority Leader Aden Duale, the
Sh337 billion came from 130 nancial
statements out of 343 statements that
were scrutinised. Out of these, 45 had
adverse and disclaimed opinions. This
represents 13 per cent of those studied
by the auditors.
The Auditor-Generals report will
now be scrutinised by the Public Ac-
counts Committee of Parliament.
Among ministries and departments
that failed to provide documents to
support their expenditure for a total
of Sh33.9 billion are ; Internal Secu-
rity, State House, Foreign Aairs,
Home Affairs, Planning, Defence,
Information and Communication
and Education.

T
he anti-drugs agency
has vowed to crack
down on gangs that
are undermining the war on
adulterated alcohol.
The National Authority
for the Campaign against
Drug Abuse (Nacada) chair-
man, Mr John Mututho, said
powerful networks are sabo-
taging the ght against toxic
drinks that have claimed
many lives.
Nacada has an ambitious
plan to defeat the criminals
who have sympathisers in top
government oces and in law
enforcement agencies, Mr
Mututho said in an interview
with the Nation.
Awareness campaign
The former Naivasha
Member of Parliament told
Kenyans to shun the drinks
that have claimed 30 lives
in Nandi and Uasin Gishu
counties amid reports that
some government officials
knew about the sale of the
toxic liquor, but did nothing
about it.
Last Wednesday Nacada,
in collaboration with Uasin
Gishu County Government,
flagged off an awareness
campaign on the effects of
consuming banned alcohol
in the North Rift region.
The caravan will drive
through three constituencies
to pass on the message against
spirits and wines that are unt
for human consumption.
Leaders have urged drinkers
to shun unapproved sources.
Meanwhile, over 3,000 litres
of kangara (a raw material for
making changaa) have been
conscated and destroyed in
Nyahururu District, an admin-
istrator said yesterday.
Maina Chief Joseph Wait-
haka said the by-product of
busaa was destroyed in a
three-week operation to rid
the area of illicit alcohol.
Speaking in his office in

haka said 2500 litres were
conscated in Maina Village
and 1,000 litres at a den in
Shamanek forest where illegal
brewing takes place.

Mr Waithaka said mobile
phones have assisted in the
ght against crime.
Separately, bar owners in

Some have reduced the
prices of spirits and are also

Foreign investors and those eyeing
government contracts will now be re-
quired to demonstrate how many jobs
they will create for the youth before
being allowed to set up shop in the
country.
These are some of the measures
being undertaken to deal with rising
youth unemployment as the govern-
ment attempts to deal with a key
challenge blamed for insecurity,
youth disillusionment and radi-
calisation, among other ills.
Major investments
Devolution Cabinet Sec-
retary Ann Waiguru (right)
said this will be guided by the
National Employment Policy
that is awaiting Parliaments
approval.
The policy will require all
major investments and projects
in the country to be subjected
to systematic analysis to de-
termine their employment
creation potential before
they are adopted for
implementation.
The government has
also directed state
departments to conduct a similar
analysis to determine the number of
jobs they can create for the youth.
Ms Waiguru was speaking during
the 8th Extraordinary Youth Summit
on International Conference on Great
Lakes Region in Nairobi to seek ways
of tackling youth unemployment. Yes-
terdays event was attended by youths
and ocials from 12 countries.
The country, which is experiencing
a youth bulge, with the population of
those between 18 and 35 years
growing from 3.3 million
in 1969, to 16 million
currently, has an un-
employment rate of
12.7 percent,
with 90 per
cent of the
unemployed
l a c k i n g
vocational
skills.
Other measuresinclude setting
aside Sh200 billion worth of gov-
ernment tenders for the youth every
year, although the initiative is cur-
rently suering low uptake, as only
Sh2 billion has been absorbed since
its launch two years ago.
The minister said training initiatives
had been started to impart skills upon
youth wishing to start enterprises to
enable them to absorb opportunities
by government
Tackling poverty
The minister revealed that the Na-
tional Youth Service has increased its
intake ten-fold this year from 2,300
to 21,870, to ensure as many youths
as possible benet.
Upon graduation, the youths will
be used to train 227,670 others who
will then undertake 4 to 6 months
paid labour to improve livelihoods,
she said.
The minister also cited the Sh6
billion Uwezo Fund, the Women
Enterprise Fund (Sh3 billion) and
the Youth Enterprise Development
Fund (Sh6 billion) as some of the
indicators that the government was
serious in tackling poverty among
the youth, women and persons with
disabilities.

New York
N
early 16 years after the attacks
on the US embassies in Nairobi
and Dar es Salaam, prosecu-
tors in New York are urging a court
to proceed with the scheduled trial of
three men charged with involvement
in the bombings.
Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan is ex-
pected to rule on July 23 on a request
by a defendant, Nazih Abdul-Hamed
al-Ruqai, also known as Anas al-Libi,
to separate his case from those of the
two other alleged bomb plotters.
A total of 224 people were killed in
the nearly simultaneous blasts in the
Kenyan and Tanzanian capitals on
August 7, 1998.
An attorney for Mr al-Libi said in
a letter to Judge Kaplan on Thursday
that his client is terminally ill. The
50-year-old Libyan national, who was
seized last year by US commandos near
the capital city of Tripoli, may have liver
cancer, the Washington Post reported
on Friday.
Mr al-Libi is scheduled to go on trial
in November along with two alleged
associates of Osama bin Laden, who
were arrested in London soon after the
embassy attacks. Both men Khalid al-
Fawwaz, a Saudi, and Adel Abdel Bary,
an Egyptian had been detained in
the UK until their extradition to the
US in 2012.
Mr al-Fawwaz, 51, and Mr Bary, 54,
are charged with acting as publicists
for Osama bin Laden and are said to
have communicated with al-Qaeda
operatives who were planning the
embassy bombings.
Mr al-Libi is accused of conducting
surveillance of the US embassy in Nai-
robi in the early 1990s, with his photos
and diagrams subsequently sent to the
al-Qaeda leader for review.
Bin Laden looked at the picture of
the American Embassy and pointed
to where a truck could go as a suicide
bomber, another member of the sur-
veillance team, Ali Mohamed, testied
in a US court in 2000.
Judge Kaplan is also expected on July
23 to question Mr al-Libis American
attorney about the source of the pay-
ments he is receiving for his work on
the case. The Washington Post and
New York Times have both reported
that the Libyan government is paying
the attorney, Bernard Kleinman, for
representing Mr al-Libi.
In a recent letter to Judge Kaplan, US
prosecutors urged that Mr Kleinman be
asked who is paying him to represent
the defendant and what, if any, instruc-
tions or advice he has received.
Outside inuence
The prosecutors letter added that
accepting payments from someone
other than a defendant may subject
an attorney to undesirable outside inu-
ence, and raise an ethical question as
to whether the attorneys loyalties are
with the client or the payer.
Mr Kleinman cautioned in response
that his removal from the case would
cause a delay of many, many months
in the start of Mr al-Libis trial.

Withdraw regulations
draft, Sossion urges
A teachers union has urged Edu-

Jacob Kaimenyi to withdraw the
recently drafted Basic Educa-
tion Regulations, 2014. Kenya
National Union of Teachers
Secretary General Wilson Sos-
sion (top) said the regulations
infringe on the constitutional role
of the Teachers Service Commis-
sion (TSC). Speaking in Kilgoris,
Narok during the Transmara
Knut annual general meeting, Mr
Sossion told the CS to expunge
what he described as oensive

Use table banking to

Women have been urged to
embrace table banking through
their groups to eradicate poverty.
Eorts to eradicate poverty can
only succeed if women are part of
the solution, Deputy President
William Rutos wife, Rachel, said
yesterday. The informal banking
concept in which group members
save and then get personal loans
has empowered many women
nancially, and is therefore key to
the countrys development. Mrs
Ruto spoke in Kakamega Town,
where she launched the concept.

Twelve crew members of
MV Jamila, among them six
Kenyans, have been freed by
Somali pirates.
The Seafarers Union of
Kenya Secretary-General,
Mr Andrew Mwangura, said
they were released after the
intervention of a Mogadishu
businessman and a district
commissioner.
The Zanzibari-owned vessel
was seized after developing
mechanical problems.
The ship, captained by an
ex-Kenya Navy officer only
identied as Abubakar from
Old Town in Mombasa, was
sailing out of Mogadishu when
it got into trouble.
We are optimistic that our
people will arrive in Mombasa
this week, the ship owner said
in a telephone interview.
According to sources, the
businessman and the DC, Mr
Brava Dhuhulow, negotiated
the release of sailors, with the
pirates agreeing to free the peo-
ple but detaining the vessel and
the humanitarian cargo.
The six Kenyans, four Tan-
zanians, a Ugandan engineer
and a Somali ran aground soon
after leaving Mogadishu Port
for the Port of Mombasa.
They were reportedly held
captive by unknown gunmen
about 80km north of Mogad-
ishu.
It is not the rst time the
vessel has run into trouble.
Humanitarian aid
In October 2005, the ship
then named MV Miltzow,
was hijacked by unidentied
gunmen at the Port of Merka,
100 kilometres southwest of
Mogadishu.
Cargo was being o-loaded
when six armed men stormed
the ship. Only 400 tonnes
of the total 850 tonnes of
the World Food Programme
humanitarian aid remained
on board.
The donation was destined
for the Lower Juba Valley,
which is home to some of the
most vulnerable people in So-
malia, who are frequently hit
by droughts and oods.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

National News 11
A
nd now for the good
news... Kenya is
among the top 30
countries rated as good
by the Good Country Index.
Surprisingly, Kenya was
ranked 26th, higher than
both Singapore (which was
ranked 27th) and Mauritius
(ranked 36th), and slightly
worse than the United
States (ranked 21st).
The countries that
performed the worst in this
index were Nigeria, Sudan,
Rwanda, Libya, Vietnam
and Iraq, while the best
performers were Ireland
(ranked the highest for
prosperity and equality),
Finland, Switzerland, the
Netherlands, New Zealand,
Sweden and the United
Kingdom (which ranked
highest for science and
technology).
Sceptics may wonder how
Kenya managed to get such
a high score, given that it
performs dismally in almost
all other measurements,
such as the UNs Human
Development Index, which
looks at things such as per
capita income, literacy rates
and access to health.
It could be because of the
way the index is computed.
Developed by Simon Anholt,
an independent policy
advisor, the index ranks
countries in the following
seven areas: Science
and technology; culture;
international peace and
security; world order; planet
and climate; prosperity and
equality; and health and
well-being.
The ranking was created
by merging 35 data sets
produced by organisations
like the United Nations and
its various agencies over a
three-year period.
While Kenya is not
performing too well in many
areas, it seems to be doing
pretty well in the areas of
international peace and
security (ranked 20th) and
prosperity and equality
(ranked 16th).
It is doing even better
than India (which got a
ranked 81st) and China,
which surprisingly, was
ranked 108th. Both India
and China are doing badly
in two critical areas: planet
and climate and prosperity
and equality.
Development experts are
likely to dismiss the index
for failing to recognise
that both India and China
have made great strides
in spreading prosperity in
their countries and in taking
steps to reduce inequality.
Anholt says that is
precisely the point both
countries only focused on
their domestic agendas and
have not performed well
vis--vis their international
obligations. Moreover, to
become competitive and
prosperous, both countries
have contributed negatively
to the environment.
GDP and per capita
income also do not seem
to have been key to
determining ranking. For
instance, Germany is not
among the top ten most
good countries (goodness,
says Anholt does not equate
with morality but has more
to do with selessness)
because the index penalises
countries involved in the
arms trade and in conicts
abroad, probably the reason
why the United States also
scored relatively badly.
So should we bring out
the champagne?
Not yet. If the index was
computed today, Kenya may
not perform so well in the
area of peace and security,
given its militaristic
foray into Somalia and
the increasing threats of
terrorism at home. With
the rising cost of living,
its ranking in the area of
prosperity and equality may
also go down.
And if there was an index
for bad manners and poor
customer service, Kenya
would be ranked very low.
Kenyans are notorious
for not returning phone
calls, even when they are
of a business or ocial
nature, for not replying to
e-mail messages in a timely
manner, for being mean to
fellow motorists, for not
giving way to people with
special needs, for throwing
rubbish out of moving cars,
and for not caring about
noise pollution, which
has reached epidemic
proportions in some estates.
I recall a freelance estate
agent telling me she does
not deal with small-time
ats and that she only has
time for big houses in rich
neighbourhoods. You can be
sure I will never be calling
her again, even if I one day
own such a house and need
her services.
As for telephone manners,
I have lost patience
with rude operators and
receptionists, including,
of all places, at the UN
oces in Nairobi, where it is
almost impossible to get an
operator or receptionist to
pick up a phone.
As for the hate speech
propagated by Kenyans
on social media, it makes
Rwandas former Radio
Milles Collines sound like a
Sunday sermon.

WHEN NEWS IS TOO GOOD . . . | Rasna Warah
Kenya ranked among top 30 good
countries, but hold the champagne
Directive on jobs for
youth wise and timely
T
he new directive requiring foreign investors
to show how they will create jobs for youth
before being allowed to set up shop is a
welcome development if implemented fairly.
What it means is that those seeking licences will
have to plan how they can help to address the job
shortage that has created social discontent which
has, in turn, made young people vulnerable to
radicalisation.
For a long time, one of the biggest challenges
facing the country has been that it churns out a
large number of trained youths who cannot nd
jobs despite the investments their parents and the
government have made in educating them.
This has, in turn, led to a plethora of social
problems arising from disillusionment, including
drug and alcohol abuse and crime. Attempts
to resolve these challenges by creating a fund
for youth to start businesses and for a quota of
government tenders to be reserved for them have
not been successful because the rules for accessing
the money are too restrictive.
As such, requiring foreign companies to come up
with job creation strategies will help address these
challenges by creating jobs in the formal sector
including banks, extraction and value-addition
industries, aviation and other technical elds.
What is required, however, is to ensure the
otherwise noble idea is not abused by politicians
and technocrats to create jobs for their relatives
because this will end up entrenching the very
inequality the directive is meant to address.
This has been a major problem in the public
service because many people in positions of
authority have succumbed to the temptation to use
their oces for unfair gain either for themselves or
those associated with them.
Sports facilities derelict
F
or the rst time in almost a decade, Kisumu
residents enjoyed competitive football when
Gor Mahia took on GFC 105 in a GOtv Shield
match at the Moi Stadium on Saturday.
That the people of a town whose love for the
sport is renowned have been starved of their
favourite pastime for that long due to derelict
sporting facilities is bad enough.
But more worrying is that Kisumu is a classic
example of the wanting state of sports facilities
in the country, Kenyas ambition of hosting major
championships in the future notwithstanding.
It is not lost in the minds of sports fans that
the Jubilee governments pre-election promise
of building ve stadiums in the country remains
unfullled.
Eorts by county governments led by Machakos
to put up sports facilities are commendable,
although they are not sucient.
The National Government must still be held
accountable for its pre-election pledge of elevating
the standards of sport.
Kenya will only uphold its age-long status as a
global sporting powerhouse if sound infrastructure
is built to catalyse the development of sports. The
onus lies with the government.

R
ecent events in the country should
have taught all of us, politicians
and non-politicians alike, the need
to reect on the direction we want the
nation to take. Sadly, our political class
refuses to heed this urgent need.
Many citizens are beginning to realise
that it does not matter on which side of
the widening political chasm you belong,
when the ship sinks as it well might, we
shall all sink with it.
Political brinkmanship as we are
witnessing now is both reckless and ill-
informed. Reckless because it is brings
the country close to violent conict. Ill-
informed because good political posturing
requires that the one performing it has a
comfortable majority rating to rule, or to
overturn a sitting government.
The Jubilee government cannot claim to
have a majority rating, nor can the Cord
alliance. The country is thus suspended
in a political hole from which all citizens,
particularly politicians, must pull it.
The push by Cord to hold a referendum
is unfortunate as it plays on the same
things that divide the citizens. Coming
soon after a polarising election, such
divisions can only entrench themselves
so that the very things the move seeks to
correct only become institutionalised.
The government is charged with
holding the country on an even
keel, managing security and driving
development programmes throughout
the nation evenly. It must not be seen to
govern only certain areas.
Sadly, the impasse is not being
helped by most of the so-called peoples
representatives. The Senate, whose
primary responsibility was to strengthen
devolution, is gradually killing it.
Parliament, the so-called peoples
representative assembly, has been busy
reversing the very gains citizens have
sought for the last 50 years. Upstart
politicians in the Senate, the National
Assembly and the emerging army of
digital defenders of the status quo only
muddy the already troubled waters.
Devolved county governments with the
tacit approval of the National Government
have been roped into emasculating the
nascent Constitution.
Little wonder that, however
inopportune, calls for a national
referendum are gaining some legitimacy.
So, what is the way forward? Political
posturing must rst of all stop. The
intransigence evident among those in
oce should end. When that happens, the
Opposition must assume its mandate of
constructive engagement with a view to
safeguarding democratic gains.
Also, when citizens voted for a new
dispensation, a critical component was
to devolve power and resources to the
grassroots. What informed this thought
was the previous skewed distribution of
national resources. Today, Parliament
seems to be determined to bring back
control to the centre.
At the county level, elected
representatives have misinterpreted
devolution. Far from being peoples
servants as intended, MCAs have become
little tin gods, and have only devolved
corruption, abuse of oce and wastage.
The bigger responsibility, however, is
on the President. He must rise above the
noise generated from within his ruling
coalition, separate his business associates
from government, and realise that he is
the President of the whole Republic. Only
then can we start the long journey to
national cohesion.

S
ince the night of June
15, devastating terrorist
attacks have been
unleashed on the villagers of
the coastal region leaving, by
some counts, more than 80
people dead.
Following the Westgate
attack last September, Kenya
has been hit by numerous
grenade and improvised
explosive devices (IED)
attacks across the country.
Previously, the government
blamed these attacks on
Al-Shabaab. President
Kenyatta, in a speech to the
nation on June 17 after the
rst attack in Mpeketoni,
blamed the atrocity on local
political networks even
after Al-Shabaab claimed
responsibility.
There were strong hints
in President Kenyattas
speech that the opposition
Cord Coalition bore some
responsibility for the attack,
with reference to the latters
charged election-style rallies
across the country demanding
an amorphous national
dialogue, now turned into
demands for a referendum.
Unfortunately, that
statement by the President
shifted focus to the usual
rumour and innuendo that
dominates Kenyas political
discourse.
Left largely unscrutinised
was the state of our security
apparatus from intelligence
gathering, analysis and
dissemination of actionable
intelligence, deterrence
and emergency response
mechanisms.
The President indicated
that security agencies had
prior intelligence warning of
an impending attack in Lamu
and that local security ocials
failed to act on it.
It is unfortunate that such
a telling revelation was not
the focus of greater debate,
since it raises the important
issue of where the buck
stops. Surely when there are
threats of attacks of such a
scale, it cannot fall on county
level police commanders
to strategise and execute
deterrent or emergency
responses!
Even if it did, there should
have been a higher level
oversight to ensure there were
sucient preparations to
counteract imminent attacks.
Reportedly, some of the
attacks have lasted for hours
on end with vulnerable
residents left to their own
inadequate devices. As if
to drive the point of our
collective vulnerability home,
the attackers have even
targeted police stations.
How does this happen in a
self-respecting nation?
Forget the cause or the
nancier of the attacks, be it
local political networks or Al
Shabaab; the attacks should
not be allowed to occur, and if
they do, the response needs to
be much better.
During celebrations to mark
national holidays, Kenyans are
treated to a show of force
from our disciplined forces,
including impressive stunts
from air crews.
If local police presence at
the coast is inadequate at the
hour of need, why then are
reinforcements not own in
from whichever corner of the
country to where they are
required?
An hour-long criminal siege
in any nook of the country
should be unacceptable, leave
alone the ve- to eight-hour
sieges that have been reported.
The security response
should have been much better
and must get better very
soon if Kenya is to deliver the
dream of a better existence for
its citizens and maintain its
respect among nations.
After the Westgate attack in
2013, the words never again
were on the lips and Twitter
handles of many a government
ocial. Unfortunately, the
attacks in the coast region
clearly demonstrate that
not much has changed and
the brave words of senior
government ocials ring
hollow.
When Al-Shabaabs big
brother, Al-Qaeda, rained
terror on the US in September
2011, the country reassessed
its security preparedness and
constituted the cabinet-level
Department of Homeland
Security to specically deter
and organise responses to
internal terror threats.
The time is ripe for Kenya
to do a similar re-evaluation of
the capabilities of our security
forces to deter and respond to
the obvious security risks that
face us.
Critically, coordination
between the various security
agencies must be tightened
and clear rapid response
mechanisms set in place.
Failure to that, the dark
list that includes Westgate
and Mpeketoni will only grow
longer and the promise that
Kenya obviously holds will
remain a distant one.

REFUND CAUTION MONEY. A very disturbed

Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi just how
long it should take a school to refund caution money
after a student has completed Form Four. Well, he
and other parents of the students who sat their KCSE
exam at Nyahururu Elite School last year have not
got refunds of the caution money they paid, even
after having been asked to provide our bank account
numbers. Having held the money for four years, why
not refund immediately on completion? he asks.

JAM TOO HEAVY. For the past two weeks, Manu
Shah says, there have been terrible trac jams on
Jogoo Road in Nairobi in the evenings, especially
between the Likoni Road junction and the City
Stadium. A distance of only 1.5 kilometres takes
nearly an hour, gobbling up lots of fuel and man-
hours and exposing motorists and their passengers
to deadly fumes. The contractor working on the road,
he demands, should be asked to speed it up. Manus
contact is chuimanu@jambo.co.ke.
MARRED BY FRAUD. The just-concluded
recruitment of police ocers was marred by
corruption, charges Abdikadir Aden-Devii, adding,
however, that it has conrmed the high level of
unemployment that is aicting the youth of the
country. Abdikadir is not amused at a recruiting
ocers claim that some people could not be enlisted
because they have at feet and, therefore, cannot
walk for long. That is one of the imsy excuses being
used to unfairly lock some people out of jobs.
DISAPPOINTED. The recruitment left many able
youth very disappointed, says Jimmy Ndirangu, upset
about the unfair conditions set. I believe that most
of the young people who turned up were in good
health, but failed because they were not familiar with
the methods used by the recruiting ocers. Singling
out running, Jimmy says, this disadvantages some
communities. The idea of height, body mass, and
running ability as the criteria for picking good police
ocers should change.
ESTATE A DUMP. The National Environment
Management Authority, Harambee Sacco and
Nairobi City County government have abdicated
their respective roles in ensuring a clean environment
for the residents of Doonholm in the Eastlands, says
Florence Ambuche. She is accusing the three of failing
to stop the dumping of waste and growth of slums
on Harambee Saccos Phase B plots. Please, ensure

THEY WERE ALL GREAT. The World Cup in Brazil
has conrmed that the days of giants and underdogs
in football are over, remarks Antony Kabiro. According
to him, with diligent preparations and determination,
any of the teams that qualied for the nals was
capable of winning the trophy. It was even more
apparent, he adds, from the last 16, as most of the
matches went into extra time and others were decided
on penalties. Costa Rica, Belgium, Chile, Algeria and
Nigeria, he argues, put up credible shows. His contact

guess it is much more. All former
Kanu administrations, including the

it is the pearl if the Kanu hegemony.
And this is despite the new constitu-

lated virtually all government organs,
including constitutional commissions,
by denying them funds.
CHRISTOPHER KIBIWOTT: It will

cause no action is ever taken against

E
ach year, thousands of patri-
otic Kenyans look forward to
serving their country as po-
lice ocers. When the recruitment
dates are announced, they start ex-
ercises, given the historical anity
towards punitive recruitment.
Others cross their ngers, while
some pray and hope the recruit-
ment will identify men and women
of integrity who are not just after
serving their interests.
Time and change go together,
because ultimately, if you do not
change with time, especially in
matters of security, then the crimi-
nal elements will outsmart you.
For as long as I can remember,
recruitment to the Kenya police
force is dened by two things: cor-
ruption and physical tness exam-
ined through rigorous exercise.
Run many miles
While I can understand that so-
ciety has accepted and moved on,
to the fact that corruption is part of
what denes who we are and how
we carry our business, I cannot
comprehend why the recruitment
process is still dened by who can
run many miles.
In a digital regime, we ought to
do better. We should be using mod-
ern technology to test the tness
of individuals but this should even
come as the last item on the proc-
ess, carrying the least weight.
What we need more, during the
recruitment is keen attention to de-
tails of people who can work for the
force and not against the force. We
need police ocers who are able to
make plans and execute strategies
and I want to believe this can only
be attained by those willing to place
country above self, and not those
who made it on the basis of paying
a bribe or being an athlete.
I am not saying it is wrong for
potential police ocer to be physi-
cally t and able; but we should use
a process that also tests reasoning
ability and common sense.
Endurance and physical agility
can be trained over time, but in-
tegrity and reasoning can hardly be
taught. Yet these are some of the
basic concepts missing from the
police today.
It is worth noting that in a coun-
try like the United States, before a
recruit is subjected to physical exer-
cises, he has to go through various
tests that are aimed at checking the
integrity and capacity to serve in
dicult circumstances. In fact part
one has to pass a polygraph before
getting to the health checks.
I have asked myself time and
again what we can do to improve
the image of the police, but I keep
going back to the fact that this is a
system, and within this system are
people who are churning millions
of shillings, so long as the status
quo remains. To expect change in
the recruitment process is to be
nave.

Flowers alone will not restore the beauty of Nakuru County
In June and July, small scale business owners have
faced the full wrath of the Nakuru County Council,
which has demolished thousands of business struc-
tures, terming them dirty dens harbouring criminals.
The move to clean up the city and return it to its
former glory is not a bad thing, but how it is being
done is quite wrong. Most of the businesses destroyed
belong to people who live from hand to mouth. They
may not be the entrepreneurs you see on television
but they are making their families survive. These are
also the people who nance the county by diligently
paying their rates. But what were once their oces
have now been replaced with owers.
So what should have been done? I believe in com-
munication. The county government should have held
meetings with the business owners and told them
of their plans to improve the town. Brainstorming
works wonders as the ideas come from the people
themselves. You simply dont wake up and demolish
someones source of rent, fees and food.
The other thing could have been to secure land in
dierent estates like Shabab, Langa Langa, Race-
course, Kiti, Mawanga, Kiamunyi, London and turn
them into trading centres.
Flowers alone will not restore the beauty of the
town. Training the rude rate collectors on how to
communicate alone, can yield better results.
MERCY OPANDE, Nakuru
I am responding to Stanley
Nganga (Nation, July 17) who makes
Israel seem like a puppy surrounded
by rabid wolves. Yet the Haganah
and Irgun that later became the
Israeli Defence Forces were in fact
terrorists, who attacked British and
Arab targets, and played a role in the
King David Hotel bombing.
They achieved their goal of sabo-
taging British rule. They then turned
on Palestinians, burning and pillag-
ing their land to chase them away
and create space for incoming Jewish
immigrants. The myth they cre-
ated that they found a barren empty
land and turned it into an oasis has
been well sold. They then invoked
absentee landowner laws to further
disposes Palestinians of land.
GRACE GUYA, Nairobi
Israeli innocence a myth
that has been well sold
Cord has launched the Okoa
Kenya Movement to pressure the
government into acceding to a refer-
endum on a raft of constitutional is-
sues the principals feel the UhuRuto
regime has mishandled.
They cite insecurity, nepotism in
State jobs, the provincial administra-
tion, corruption, cost of living, ex-
cessive borrowing, skewed develop-
ment, historical injustices, the Truth
report and a biased electoral team.
Yet the IEBC has to organise the
vote and Parliament must also be
involved. These are the formidable
hurdles Cord will have to surmount,
but it is the perception that will be
created that will matter.
KARIUKI MUIRI, Karatina
Referendum is a ploy to
paint Uhuru in bad light
President Kenyatta has to listen
to Kenyans. He has to tackle the
Somalia matter with wisdom. A time
comes when Wanjiku feels that the
President ought to change. That
time has come. The Al-Shabaab do
not use the head to think.
The President must consult
widely, not only the monied and
the powerful. We have very good
brains to help answer the question:
Is Kenya being stupid by insisting in
staying in Somalia?
KDF should come home and if
that will see Al-Shabaab stop their
nonsense in Lamu, so be it. The
President should feel no iota of
shame when he gives those orders.
He will be the same man we know.
GITHUKU MUNGAI, Nairobi
Time for us to review
the Somali question
ROPE IN HELB: The recent order
by the President and his deputy for
schools heads to release any cer-
ticates held because of fee arrears
was good, but justiably resisted.
Schools should not be left exposed
having spent on these candidates. I
suggest for secondary and post-sec-
ondary candidates, Helb be empow-
ered to pay. The students can then
sign loan agreements to settle when
they are in gainful employment. For
primary school candidates, parents
or guardians should sign on behalf of
the children until they come of age.
ANTONY KIMEMIA, Nairobi
USE DOGS: In Mpeketoni and the
surrounding area, where terrorist
hide in bushes, I would have thought
that top tracking dogs could be
brought from Europe to sni them
out. Wherever the terrorist went they
must have left a scent behind, and it
wouldnt be dicult for trained dogs
to follow their tracks. Even by now,
it would be worthwhile, to y those
dogs in with their handlers, and I
am sure they would be able to trace
them. These gangs stole food and
looted pharmacies, so it would be
easy for the dogs to nd them.
UTE GOODWIN, Malindi
EMPLOY OUR ENGINEERS: It is
highly likely that the Kenya govern-
ment might decide to hire expatri-
ates in the eld of petroleum engi-
neering to come and help us with the
drilling and processing of our crude
oil, so as to make products such us
petrol, paran and gas. Since these
expatriates are too expensive for our
national budget, our government
should rise to the occasion and hire
our fellow Kenyans, who have stud-
ied petroleum engineering in the di-
aspora. Handsome remuneration will
make them come home.
TEDDY KIMATHI, Nairobi
SPIRALLING SUICIDE: Cases of
suicide among the youth seem to be
escalating. Teenagers and students
seem fed up with our song of em-
bracing guidance and counselling
as a means to overcome life chal-
lenges. Perhaps too, the custodians,
guardians and counsellors are not
doing enough to reach out to the
youth. Unwanted pregnancies, lack
of school fees, etc continue to drive
more youths to early graves. As a
society, we need to inculcate in our
children the virtue of perseverance in
the face of diculties. They should
be aware that life in its completeness
entails both the bitter and the sweet.

T
he Kisumu County
government has signed
a Sh4.5 billion garbage
collection agreement with two
foreign companies.
The deal signed with the
American-based Global Waste
2 Energy and the Integrated
Basic Infrastructure System of
the Netherlands will also help
the county recycle its waste for
energy.
City Manager Dorris Ombara
says Kisumu collects more than
473,000 metric tonnes of waste
per day. Speaking during the
signing of the contract on Friday,
Ms Ombara said urgent meas-
ures are needed to help improve
collection of garbage, which has
become an eyesore.
She said that the cleaning and
relocation process, which is ex-
pected to take 15 months, will be
done once the deal is approved
by both the national and county
government.
Produce bio-fuels
We expect the approval proc-
ess to take at least one month,
she said.
Kisumu Bio-Energy and Cli-
mate Change chief ocer Lorna
Omuodo said they intended to
produce bio-fuels from the
project. The current energy
tariffs, she said, scare away
potential investors.
We, for instance, pay power
bills similar to those of prot-
making organisations, yet the
county government provides
services to residents, she said.
The project will assist the
county produce about 200
megawatts of power daily, Ms
Omuodo said.
Kisumu is probably among
the few cities in the region with
dumpsites in the central business
district, posing a health hazard
to residents and inconveniencing
businesses across the fence.
There have been concerns
about the dumpsite by the air-
ports authority, Kenya Wildlife
Service, security agencies and
the Moi Stadium management.
Lack of land and conict of
interest on the use of waste by-
products have hindered eorts
to relocate the towns dumpsite.
Leaders and residents could not
agree on an alternative site to
dump the city waste.
Kisumus Mega City shopping
mall, the largest in the town and
housing a number of hotels and
colleges, are aected by the un-
controlled dumping.
The recently upgraded Moi
Stadium cannot host games
because of the dumpsite with
the stench affecting other
neighbouring organisations,
including Kisumu Polytechnic
students.
Investment prole
The chairman of the Kisumu
business community, Mr Israel
Agina, said that urgent action
needs to be taken by the minister
in charge of environment to close
the dumpsite permanently.
We cannot boast of a growing
investment prole when our city
cannot collect waste eciently,
he said.
But governor Jack Ranguma
insists that the relocation of the
dumpsite is part of the Kisumu
Urban Project (KUP), which he
said, envisaged a new plan for
the lakeside city.
Kisumu is one of
the few areas with
dumpsite in the
middle of town
BACKGROUND
Residents
refuse to
sell land
The dumpsite at
Kachok cannot be
moved because lead-
ers and residents
cannot agree on an
alternative site. At
some point, a busi-
nessman sued the
county for entering
into a Sh18 billion
deal with a German
investor to spear-
head the relocation
of the site.
Governor Jack
Rangumas adminis-
tration lost the case
much as he raised
objections to the
contract as drawn by
two senior ocials of
the county govern-
ment. Residents had
also refused to sell
land to the county
for relocation.

Public service boss to withdraw
petition led against governor

The chairman of Homa Bay County Public Service
Board, Mr Mathews Oseko, has given a notice of
withdrawal of the petition against Governor Cyprian
Awiti. The move is likely to end a long-standing
duel between the executive and the board, which
had been at loggerheads over the appointments of
workers at the county government. Mr Oseko gave
the notice in a letter dated July 17 to the Homa
Bay High Court Deputy Registrar and copied to
all the lawyers involved in the suit. He said that
he wished to withdraw suit No. 9 of 2013 to foster

in a bid to enhance service delivery. I took that
path in the best interest of the people of Homa Bay
County, he said in his letter.

started 5,000 years ago, refers to the colourful
decorative swings that are prepared with items
such as cloth and food. The festival originates from
the streets of Vrindavan, where the Gopis rocked
Lord Krishna on a decorated swing. Ever since, to
experience the divine joy of rocking Krishna in a
small swing, the Hindola festival became the focus
of devotion. Mrs Parul Rakshit Joshi, a worshipper,
said they will prepare sweets and other delicacies.

Villagers who responded to the

Fraudsters target ECD
teachers in payroll scam
The county government has issued
an alert over fraudulent deals

Early Childhood Development
teachers. Public Service Board
Secretary Agnes MakDwalo said
fraudsters were sending text
messages to the teachers, asking
them to pay Sh170 each for the
processing of their payslips and
inclusion in the payroll. In one
message, purportedly from the
board, the sender tells the teachers
to send the money before the July

letter, she said yesterday in a press

Tourists fear
visiting coast
due to attacks,
says envoy
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Tourists fear visiting North Coast
due to sustained terrorist attacks
in Lamu and Tana River, an envoy
has said.
Italian visitors to the region have
drastically reduced in the past few
months, following the attacks, ac-
cording to Italian consul Roberto
Macri.
In a telephone interview yester-
day, Mr Macri said the number had
dropped from 3,000 to about 2,000
a month and could decrease further
if insecurity was not addressed im-
mediately.
North Coast regions of Kili,
Watamu, Malindi and Mambrui
used to receive about 30,000 Ital-
ian visitors a year before insecurity
worsened.
Italian tour operators are shaken
about the ongoing attacks and are
hesitant to bring visitors to Ma-
lindi, said Mr Macri.
The envoy said most Italians
did not properly understand the
geography of Kenyas coast and
thought all tourist destinations
were under attack.
Many Italians and indeed for-
eigners get news from CNN, BBC,
Aljazeera and other international
media channels about the attacks
in Kenya and think tourist areas
have insecurity and, therefore, fear
to come.
He advised Kenya to emulate
Thailand and Egypt, which made
efforts to reclaim their tourism
sectors after bloody conict and
violence.
Kenya can actually emulate
these countries by drastically re-
ducing its packages, including the
entry fee, park charges as well as
extend the 24-hour stay limit in the
parks to 30 hours.
Halve park fees
From my interaction with
would-be visitors, this will be a
major boost, especially among
Italian tourists, he said.
He said that the stay limit was an
inconvenience to visitors who have
to leave parks early before seeing
much of wildlife.
He suggested that the entry fee
of US$25 (Sh2,100) and US$70
(Sh6,000) park fees per person
should be reduced by half.
Other special packages should
also be introduced to motivate
visitors.
Following attacks in the Coast,
many hotels have closed down,
leading to job loss for more than
7,000 workers. In Malindi alone,
more than 3,400 employees were
sent home.
Recently, several British tour-
ists left their hotels and travelled
back home, while tour companies
stopped charter ights to Kenya.

Police reservists have been in-
creased on the border of Turkana
and Pokot following attacks that led
to the deaths of more than 20 people
in the past two months.
Deputy County Commissioner for
Loima Charles Igiha said additional
security ocers had been sent to the
area for quick response.
County police boss Emmanuel
Karisa and officials from police
headquarters have been patrolling
the border in a helicopter.
The ocials have been surveying
areas for establishment of anti-stock
theft police camps.
Mr Igiha said Kwoturuk Location
would be considered rst due to a high
concentration of livestock in the area
as a result of abundant pasture and
its closeness to River Turkwel.
In the past week, raiders attacked
villages in Turkana West, Turkana
South, Turkana East and Loima,
stealing hundreds of animals.
They killed villagers and injured
others, including a pregnant woman.
The woman was admitted to Lodwar
District Hospital with a bullet in her
abdomen.
Last weekend, leaders from Tur-
kana accused the government of laxity
in replacing security ocers who left
to work at oil exploration sites.
Turkana Senator John Munyes,
Deputy Governor Peter Lokoel,
Turkana South MP James Lomenen
and Turkana West MP Daniel Nanok
said they would mobilise residents to
interrupt oil exploration if the situa-
tion at the border was not stabilised
in seven days.
They said the county had inad-
equate police officers, leading to
poor coordination of response dur-
ing attacks.
Kakong was attacked in broad
daylight on Friday near Nakwamoru
General Service Unit camp and we lost
two people, said Senator Munyes.

Railway to earn Kenyans Sh130bn

K
enyan workers, suppliers and
contractors will earn Sh130 bil-
lion out of the Sh327 billion
that will be used in the standard gauge
railway project, a Kenya Railways boss
has said.
The amount is 40 per cent of the
projects funds and had been reserved
for direct benet of Kenyans, said the
rail rms chairman General (Rtd) Jer-
emiah Kianga.
Kenyan companies which sup-
ply building materials should grab
the opportunity and benefit from
the Sh130 billion set aside for local
service providers, he said.
The work will be undertaken by
Beijings China Road and Bridge
Corporation. However, labour and
some building materials would be
obtained locally, said Gen Kianga.
Counties endowed with building
materials such as sand, ballast and
cement stand to benet.
The chairman said recruitment of
skilled workers was in progress at
railway camps in Kwale, Taita Taveta
and Makueni.
Seek employment
He urged Kenyans who possess
skills for railway construction to seek
employment at the camps.
In addition, he said suppliers of
building materials and providers of
various services would be invited
through tenders.
Gen Kianga called on counties in
which the proposed railway line will
pass to make money from the project
by providing labour and materials.

Other counties that would directly

Taveta and Makueni.
Gen Kianga, in addition, urged
county governments to help Kenya
Railways and the National Land
Commission to acquire land for the
railway line.
That would ensure speedy con-
struction from Mombasa to Nairobi,
he said.
Acquisition of privately-owned land
was a challenge for the corporation,
said the railways boss.
The national government has
already provided funds for compen-
sating private land owners, he said.
Mr Kingi said political leaders
were opposing the standard gauge
railway project because information
on its benets was lacking.
He urged Kenya Railways to create
awareness on the project and involve
local communities in the work.
Some leaders and communities
oppose good projects such as the
standard gauge railway because they
lack information.
Commuter service
I am glad that the corporation
ocials have visited us and given us

I fully support the construction of the

However, the governor urged

ensure fair recruitment of workers,
suppliers of building materials and
sub-contractors.

project in November last year.
Meanwhile, the government plans

T
he Transition Authority
has warned counties
against selling public
assets without following the
right procedure.
Mr Kinuthia Wamwangi,
the authoritys chairman, also
urged individuals who stole
property belonging to coun-
ties to surrender them.
Speaking in Kericho County,
Mr Wamwangi said many
counties had huge debts, most
of which they inherited from
municipal councils.
As a result, the regional
governments had lost assets
that were used as collateral in
acquiring the loans, he said.
Many times, we have had
to intervene to stop creditors
from seizing counties property
to recover dues estimated to be
more than Sh5.5 billion.
For instance, Garrisa County
was ghting o auctioneers
after it stopped servicing
loans, pending transfer of
assets and liabilities, said Mr
Wamwangi.
Nairobi owes over Sh5.5
billion of bank loans secured
against property that was
owned by former civic au-
thorities.
Under the Transition and
Devolved Government Act,
the counties are required to
request permission from the
authority for before disposing
of property.
If (a request is) accepted,
the county will be required to
give a report on the sale of the
items to the authority to help
activate the inventory, he said.
This is very key during the
transition period.
He said county and na-
tional government ministries,
departments and agencies were
required to adhere to all legal
requirements when disposing
of boarded assets.
A number of assets belong-
ing to counties were stolen
during the reign of the defunct
local authorities, according to
Mr Wamwangi.
He said the authority had
launched an audit of all as-
sets and liabilities that were
under councils to determine
those that were stolen.
Failure to honour summons
will lead to tough legal battles
for those found guilty of steal-
ing the assets.
Mr Wamwangi said a similar
audit would be conducted on
the national government and
parastatals before the end of
the authoritys life.
Anybody found guilty will
face a hefty ne of up to Sh10
million or prison terms of up
to seven years.
Further, he urged county
governments to suspend
appointment of village ad-
ministrators until the authority
completes amending the Urban
Areas and Cities Act.
We are almost done with
making the amendments and
will soon be presenting the
same to Parliament for ap-
proval.

Union and KFS
fail to agree on

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Talks between the Kenya Ferry Services
and its unionised workers have collapsed.
The dispute between the two revolves around
salary increase.
The Dock Workers Union is demanding a
50 per cent rise for its 172 members while
the management is ready to give 10 per cent
spread in two phases.
The stormy Friday talks took less than
two hours before they abruptly ended. The
matter could now be referred to the Indus-
trial Court.
Speaking on Saturday, the Mombasa
county labour ocer Joseph Nyaga conrmed
the stalemate saying he had no choice but
to refer them to alternative labour dispute
resolution mechanisms.
They could not agree on the percentage,
he added.
But a participant in the talks who preferred
to remain anonymous because he is not au-
thorised to speak to the media accused the
labour oce of delaying tactics.
However, a top KFS manager cautioned the
unionised workers to trend carefully.
Lets be realistic. Even the Kenya Ports
Authority, which makes Sh7 billion annually,
could only give its employees over 10 percent.
Where will we get the money?he asked.

Nakuru Governor Kinuthia
Mbugua plans to revive the
agriculture sector by helping
farmers increase production.
He said the county govern-
ment had so far provided
seeds and fertiliser to 11,000
farmers who each own an acre
of land.
This translates to 1,000
farmers in each sub-county.
We intend to continue with
this programme for the next
four years until we reach all
the vulnerable farmers, said
Mr Mbugua.
Soil types
At the same time, the gov-
ernor said his administration
was working in collaboration
with the national government
to ensure that farmers can ac-
cess the subsidised fertiliser at
the National Cereals and Pro-
duce Board (NCPB) stores.
The governor, who was the
Administration Police (AP)
Commandant before join-
ing elective politics, said his
government would launch a
project to sensitise farmers on
the best farming inputs for the
regions diverse soil types.
The pyrethrum sector is one
of the agship projects of Na-
kuru. The county is working on
ways of reviving the struggling
sub-sector, which used to
benet between two to three
million Kenyans in the 1980s.
We are also in the proc-
ess of reviving the Pyrethrum
Regulatory Authority (PRA)
nursery at Kabazi, said Mr
Mbugua.
He announced that 10 acres
had been ploughed and new
pyrethrum seedlings would
be distributed free to farmers
in the county. Mr Mbuguas
administration has also
bought two million pyrethrum
seedlings worth Sh5 million
to be distributed to farmers
in Naivasha, Gilgil, Molo, Kure
soi North and Kuresoi South.
Each farmer will get 5,500
seedlings.
He said Naivasha farm-
ers were the rst to benet
after they received 165,000
seedlings. Mr Mbugua said the
Ministry of Agriculture had
also started construction of
slaughterhouses and cattle
dips in the county and so far,
22 cattle dips had been reha-
bilitated.
Coolers
This rehabilitation will help
ght the foot and mouth dis-
ease, lumpy skin, rabies and
other livestock diseases.
These diseases have
been a challenge in the past
and our aim is to eradicate
them. We will continue work-
ing on the best research
modalities to ensure that
our livestock are free from
diseases and our products
are marketed well, said Mr
Mbugua.
In a bid to increase milk
production and other livestock
products, the Nakuru county
government will provide dairy
farmers with coolers through
their respective cooperative
societies.

Judge orders
Ukwala to
pay sacked
sta in row
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Ukwala Supermarket has been or-
dered to pay Sh300,000 to former
employees who had sued the chain
for wrongful dismissal.
The 30 former employees had
sued for damages and wanted
Sh6 million as compensation for
the irregular termination of their
contracts.
However, the Nakuru Industrial
Court Justice Byrum Ongaya or-
dered the Supermarkets Eldoret
branch to give each of them
Sh10,000 within 30 days.
Fair hearing
In their suit, they had told the
court that Ukwala discriminated
against them and they were not
issued with any letter or notice
for the impending termination of
their services.
The claimants accused their
former employer of denying them
a fair hearing before dismissing
them.
The court nds that due proc-
ess was followed in terminating
services of the claimants. How-
ever, the employer ought to have
allowed them fair hearing before
dismissal, ruled Judge Ongaya.

Governor warns over road reserves
BY DENNIS LUBANGA
dlubanga@ke.nationmedia.com
U
asin Gishu Governor Jack-
son Mandago has warned
residents, developers and
businessmen who have encroached
on road reserves that their days are
numbered.
Mr Mandago said the law was
clear on use of public utilities such
as road reserves and those occupy-
ing them should move out as soon
as possible.
People who have encroached on
road reserves should not even go to
court as they will be wasting their
time, said Mr Mandago.
Expansion of local roads was
crucial in giving the county quality
infrastructure to stimulate develop-
ment, he said.
He cited the Ngeria-Kapseret-Jua
Kali bypass, whose construction is
set to begin next year, but which is
opposed by residents who will be
displaced once it starts.
The countys Lands department
and the Kenya Urban Roads Author-
ity (Kura) surveyors were set to start
Mandago orders
encroachers of
public land to
leave immediately
People
who have
encroach-
ed on road
reserves
should not
even go to
the courts
as they will

Mandago,
Governor,
Uasin Gishu
clearing the road reserve ahead of the
work on the by-pass.
We have all the records, which will
enable us determine all those people
who have encroached on the road. My
team will deal with those people who
dont vacate the reserves before the
construction of the by-pass starts,
said Mr Mandago.
He spoke on Saturday during a site
inspection of the Eldoret town-Kap-
soya road, which is currently under
construction.
Kura CEO Joseph Nkadayo, who
was also in the tour, said the road
would ease trac on the A104 El-
doret-Nakuru highway once it is
completed.
The Eldoret town-Kapsoya road
is 70 per cent complete and we hope
that by mid-November this year we
shall come back here to launch it,
said Mr Nkadayo.

The renovation of Kisumu
county stadium is projected
to boost business in the re-
gion, Governor Jack Ranguma
said yesterday. He noted that
earnings from three matches
hosted at the Moi Stadium
at the weekend revealed the
immense potential arenas
have to generate revenue
for the county. Mr Ranguma
said his administration would
work hard to x the remaining
structures such as terraces, to
accommodate more football
fans.
We will build the remain-
ing structures to tap into the
talent of our youth through
sports, he said. Mr Ranguma
further allayed fears that the
dumpsite next to the stadium
would be a problem. He said
the county was fast-tracking
its move to another location.
It would be moved by the end
of the year, he said.

Leaders in war of words
over police recruitment
BY MUCHIRI GITONGA
mgitonga@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he just-concluded police re-
cruitment has divided leaders
in Laikipia North.
While area MP Mathew Lempurkel
dismissed the selection as a sham,
religious leaders and elders said it
was fair.
The MP claimed that hundreds of
youths were locked out due to fail-
ure by the government to harmonise
constituency and administrative
boundaries. He called for a repeat of
the recruitment.
He said some youths from Muko-
godo East ward were told they would
be recruited in Nanyuki, which is in
Laikipia East, while those from So-
sian were directed to Rumuruti in
Laikipia West.
But when they got there, they were
chased away. I have written to the
chairman of National Police Service
Commission calling for a repeat of
the process, he added.
However, the residents diered with
their MP. They said the recruitment
was free and fair and accused him
of importing youths from other
districts.
Mr Dominic ole Kiloku, a religious
leader, said the youth who were turned
away were not from Laikipia North.
Most were ferried from Ol donyiro
in the neighbouring Isiolo County, and
from Segera and Ethi in Laikipia East
district. Another elder, Mr Sammy
Lemoile, said residents were satis-
ed with the hiring since the area
had a big number of recruits.

Ex-Kibaki aide
named by
stepmother in
property row
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The stepmother of a former
powerful advisor to President
Mwai Kibaki is seeking orders
declaring her the lawful owner of
her husbands property.
Ms Veronica Wairimu Karuthai,
the stepmother of Mr Stanley Mur-
age, also wants the court to bar her
step-children from interfering with
her quiet enjoyment of the multi-
million-shilling property.
In her suit before Principal
Magistrate Maroro Nyakundi, Ms
Wairimu says her step-children
were meddling with her manage-
ment of various pieces of land and
property scattered across Nakuru
County.
In her affidavit, the woman
claims that in February 2002
her ailing husband appointed her
son, Mr Maina Karuthai, and a Mr
Mureithi Ngunga, as the executors
of his will.
Bringing back
She says her husband, Mr
Joseph Karuthai fell sick in 2001
when he suered a stroke and that
Mr Murage took him to Nairobi
for treatment where he stayed for
three weeks before he was taken
back home.
She claims that Mr Murage and
his siblings have never contacted
her, or their father, who has been
sick for the past 14 years, until
recently when they forcibly took
him to their older brothers home
in Kiamunyi Estate in Nakuru.
Ms Wairimu adds that in 2002,
Mr Karuthai subdivided his
property among his beneficiar-
ies, immediately after appointing
the executors of the will.
I was awarded three parcels of
land in Nakurus Freehold Estate,
Racetrack Estate and a farm in Ba-
hati area, she says. She accused
Mr Martin Ngunga Karuthai Mr
Murages older brother of taking
over four properties in Nakuru that
her husband gave her and her son.
Ms Wairimu further claims that the
step-children are only interested in
inheritance and not the welfare of
their ailing father.

Governor merges two ministries
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Laikipia Governor Joshua
Irungu has merged two depart-
ments and put county ministers
on notice in what he termed as
measures to improve service
delivery.
He said the restructuring
would make his government
more responsive to peoples
needs.
The Ministry of Education
will be merged with that of
Social Services and Gender,
said the governor.
A new ministry of Water,
Environment and Natural Re-
sources has been created.
He said the new ministry was
meant to give prominence to
matters of water, since the
county is semi-arid.
The governor also disclosed
that all the eight executive
committee members would
sign performance contracts
at the end of this month.
Signing contracts
Reshues might not de-
liver the desired results and
that is why all the executive
committee members will sign
a performance contract on July
31, said the governor.
The contracts would be
made public so that ministers
are answerable to residents,
he added.
Speaking in Nyahururu
after a prize giving day and
the commissioning of a new
dining hall at Njonjo Girls
school, Mr Irungu said by the
end of the nancial year, the
executive committee members
would be expected to achieve
targets set for them now.
Mr Irungu praised the prin-
cipal, Ms Salome Ndungu and
the school board for starting
projects to ensure the insti-
tution matches its national
school status.

Kenya, Uganda
hold crisis talks
over Migingo
BY ELISHA OTIENO
elisha_otieno@yahoo.com

K
enya and Uganda po-
lice have held crisis
talks on simmering
tension on the disputed
Migingo Island.
This is after Kenyan
shermen accused Ugan-
dan police of harassment
and extortion.
The Kenyan delegation
was led by the Migori
County deputy commis-
sioner, Mr James Namtala,
while the Ugandan team
was headed by Namayingo
Resident District com-
missioner Mpimbaza
Hashaka.
The Kenyan team pro-
tested at the continued
conscation of sh from
Kenyans under the pretext
of trespass.
We want the Ugandans
to treat our shermen and
traders with respect and
dignity as we await the
resolution of the ownership
row, stated Mr Namtala.
Gimmicks
Mr Hashaka told Uganda
forces manning the sh-rich
island to stop intimidating
Kenyans unnecessarily.
If there are serious prob-
lems, always bring them to
my attention before you
take any radical measures,
he told them.
The two delegations were
accompanied to the meet-
ing by their top police and
intelligence officers. But
Kenyan shermen claimed
the directives were merely
public relations gimmicks.
Such orders have been is-
sued before, even by senior
Ugandan ocials. But the
Ugandans later tell their
guys to continue with their
operations, said Mr Samuel
Ochola, a sherman.
The Migori County
government promised to
engage the national govern-
ment in eorts to end the
Migingo ownership row,
which has lasted for more
than 10 years.
Area governor Okoth
Obado vowed to raise the
matter with the national
government and ensure a
permanent solution.
Kenyans cannot con-
tinue to suer in the hands
of the Ugandan security of-
cers manning the island,
said Mr Obado.
The island is currently
manned by both Kenyan
and Ugandan security
forces.
Residents

Migori | Governor vows to intervene
Background
Tiny land
mass has
caused row
Migingo is a tiny 2,000-
square-metre island,
about half the size of a
football pitch. In June
2004, Ugandan marine
police arrived and pitched
tent on the island, and
raised the Ugandan ag
and that of their police
department. But Kenya
protested against the
move. The two countries
agreed to let shermen
from both countries sh
in Kenya.

FOOD SHORTAGE | 300,000 children malnourished
Agencies warn of new catastrophe
in Somalia as 3m need assistance
NAIROBI, Sunday
T
hree years to the day since
a famine that eventually
killed more than a quarter
of a million people was declared
in Somalia, aid agencies warned
today the country faced a new ca-
tastrophe without urgent aid.
A joint statement issued by
a group of charities and aid
agencies said there were more
than 300,000 malnourished
children in Somalia and a total
of 2.9 million people in need of
life-saving help.
Aid agencies today caution,
again, that the signs of a drought
are re-emerging in Somalia and
urge for these not to be ignored
in order to avoid a relapse into
the conditions of the 2011 ca-
tastrophe, the statement said,
warning that without funding,
aid programmes were likely to
be forced to shut down.
The charities said the number
of people in crisis in the war-
ravaged country was expected to
rise as conditions worsen, with
1.1 million externally displaced
people the hardest hit.
Most affected people are
still recovering from the mas-
sive losses of the 2011 drought
and famine.
This time, we must not fail
the people of Somalia, said
Francois Batalingaya, World
Visions country director for
Somalia.
The agencies called for urgent
and consistent support over
the next three to six months to
avoid a recurrence of the 2011
disaster.
The United Nations had
warned earlier this month that
the food crisis was expected to
spiral into emergency phase in
the capital Mogadishu, just one
step short of famine on its clas-
sication scale of hunger.
In May 2014, only 12 per cent
of Somalias annual humanitar-
ian needs had been funded out
of a required $933 million, the
joint NGO statement said.
The current funding gap
means that programmes address-
ing these needs and delivering
vital basic services are at risk of
shutting down. (AFP)

TRIPOLI, Sunday
Islamist-led militiamen stepped up
their assault today on Libyas main
airport, two days after the collapse of
a truce with rival ex-rebels who control
the facility, a security ocial said.
The renewed ghting, which killed
at least ve civilians, was condemned
by the European Union, which urged
restraint and dialogue.
A coalition of militias led by Is-
lamist ghters launched an assault
on Tripoli international airport, with
clashes later spreading to the road
leading to the capital.
The airport was attacked this
morning with mortar rounds, rockets
and tank re, said airport security
ocial Al-Jilani al-Dahesh.
It was the most intense bombard-
ment so far, since a week-old battle
for control of the airport erupted on
July 13.
Dahesh said the militia which
controls the airport, based in Zintan,
southwest of the capital, and seen by
Islamists as the armed wing of liber-

Halt to all ights
Islamist militias have been joined
by other armed groups, including
the powerful Misrata Brigades which
played a key role in the 2011 UN-
backed revolt that toppled and killed
strongman Muammar Gadda.
The fighting has forced a halt
to all ights and caused extensive
damage to planes and airport infra-
structure, with aviation ocials saying
Tripoli airport could stay closed for
months.

Tunisia closes
media outlets
over jihad push
TUNIS, Sunday
Tunisia has closed a satellite
television channel and a radio sta-
tion for promoting jihad, a few days
after jihadists killed 15 soldiers, the
government said today.
A statement from the oce of
Prime Minister Prime Minister
Mehdi Jomaa (below) said the
authorities had decided to shut
down Nour FM radio and Al-Insen
satellite channel.
The government said the
immediate closure of the unli-
censed media outlets came after
they turned into platforms for
takris and jihad.
Takris are Muslims who accuse
other Muslims of apostasy.
The decision came after sus-
pected jihadists on Wednesday
attacked twin army posts in the
remote Mount Chaambi region
near the Algerian border, killing
15 soldiers in the worst attack in
the Tunisian armys history.
Many radio and television sta-
tions operate in Tunisia without
permission. The government
warned in the statement that it
would take all necessary meas-
ures to deal with ... incitement to
violence, terrorism and takr on
social networks. (AFP)

bid to retake
S. Sudan town
JUBA, Sunday
South Sudanese rebels launched
an oensive to retake a key town
near the border with Ethiopia
today in what the United Nations
said was a clear violation of a truce
agreement.
This attack represents the most
serious resumption of hostilities
since President Salva Kiir and his
former deputy, rebel leader Riek
Machar, met in May and recommit-
ted to a January ceasere, the UN
mission said in a statement.
The fighters loyal to Machar
struck Nasir, their former head-
quarters, 500 kilometres north of
Juba and close to Ethiopia, which
was retaken by government forces
in May. A spokesman for Machars
forces, Lul Kuang, defended their
moves as an act of self-defence.

Sierra Leone central bank sta strike
BY KEMO CHAM
NATION Correspondent
FREETOWN, Sunday
Work at the Bank of Sierra
Leone was disrupted when
low-ranking workers staged
a strike, citing unfair treat-
ment.
The striking sta accused
the senior management and
the former bank governor of
outing banking provisions.
They also demanded a pay
increase during their Friday
strike.
Finance Minister Keifala
Marrahs intervention was
futile.
Last Tuesday, Sierra Leo-
nes parliament approved
President Ernest Bai Koro-
mas nominee, Momodou
Kargbo, to become the new
governor of the bank, bringing
to an end Shekou Sambadeen
Sisays tenure.
Sesay served in the position
for ve years. Kargbo was until
now a Minister of State.
The strike followed reports
of unease within the nancial
sector, particularly between
the former bank boss and his
colleagues in the commercial
banking sector. Just two days
after the installation of his
successor, the bank issued
a statement reversing a con-
troversial policy announced in
January restricting the use of
foreign currency.
CAIRO, Sunday
E
gypt today vowed to pun-
ish attackers who killed
22 border guards in its
western desert near the frontier
with restive Libya.
Militants ring rocket-pro-
pelled grenades attacked a
checkpoint, 630 kilometres
west of Cairo, on Saturday, kill-
ing 22 soldiers and wounding
another four.
The military, which updated
its previous death toll, said the
soldiers were killed when a
rocket-propelled grenade set
o an explosion in an ammu-
nition depot at the El-Farafrah
border security post.
Egypts presidency said
the heinous crime that took
these brave souls and spilled
their blood will not go unan-
swered.
Terrorism will be uprooted
from every part of Egypt. All
those responsible for perpe-
trating these acts and acting
outside of the law will receive
their rightful punishment, it
said.
Egypt authorities declared a
three-day period of mourning
from today.
The attack followed repeated
warnings by ocials of a pos-
sible spillover of violence from
across the border with Libya,
where relentless bloodshed
has sparked fears of all-out
civil war.
Libya has been awash with
weapons and gripped by unrest
since the 2011 Nato-backed up-
rising that toppled Muammar
Gaddafi, with rival militias
which ousted him vying for
control.
Egypts porous western
border with Libya stretches for
more than 1,000 kilometres.
In August 2012, gunmen
killed 16 Egyptian border
guards on the frontier with
Israel.
And since the army ousted
Islamist president Mohamed
Morsy in July 2013, Egypt has
been rocked by deadly bomb-
ings and shootings.
Most of the assaults have
been claimed by jihadists
amid a bloody crackdown by
the authorities on Morsys
supporters.
The police crackdown has
left more than 1,400 people
dead in street clashes, upwards
of 15,000 jailed and some 200
sentenced to death. (AFP)

Gaza death
toll passes
400 mark
GAZA CITY, Sunday
The death toll in Gaza rose to
over 400 today as Israel pressed
its biggest oensive in the enclave
in ve years, Palestinian health of-
cials said.
410 people have been killed
since the war started and more
than 3,020 people have been
injured, most of them civilians,
deputy health minister Yussef
Abu Rish told reporters at Shifa
hospital in Gaza City.
The vast majority of todays dead
were in the Shejaiya neighbour-
hood between Gaza City and the
Israeli border, where more than 50
people were killed in a blistering
bombardment which began over-
night, medics said.
Agreed to halt re
Following an urgent appeal from
the International Committee of the
Red Cross, both sides agreed to
halt re in the neighbourhood, with
a two-hour humanitarian lull going
into force at 1030 GMT.
As the ceasere got under way, a
convoy of ambulances entered She-
jaiya, with medics seen picking up
at least three bodies, including that
of a man with his intestines hang-
ing out and his head completely
destroyed, an AFP correspondent
reported. But shortly afterwards,
the sound of small arms re was
heard in the area.
W
hile the Church of Eng-
land was surmounting a
two-decade hurdle last
week, some of its eminences
were bashing each other over an
issue that belongs to the politi-
cal realm.
A week today, the church, also
known as Anglican, ended the
debate on ordination of women
as bishops. The General Synod
in England overwhelmingly voted
in favour.
Among the caveats was that
parishes opposed to women
bishops can request male ones.
A tradition that has survived for
centuries got a knock.
The decision was not any
earth-shaker. Women bishops
are serving the Anglican faithful
in Australia, Canada, New Zealand
and the United States.
Today is the completion of
what was begun over 20 years ago
with the ordination of women as
priests. I am delighted with to-
days result, said Archbishop of
Canterbury Justin Welby, spiritual
leader of the worlds 80 million
Anglicans. How long it will take
for churches in other parts of the
world, some wallowing in male
chauvinism, to follow remains
unknown.
Diehards remain. Their reasons
include theological interpreta-
tions. Bishop John Goddard of
Burmely, for example, said he
was opposed out of obedience
to God. Well, the Book of Luke
has a passage saying men and
women are equal in the service
of God.
The diehards stand is illogical.
Bishops begin service as priests.
Women priests and deacons exist.
At what point do they op on the
way to bishopric?
A Medieval notion replies. God
has assigned men and women
dierent roles. Only mens roles
t the bishopric. Well, the only
logical inherent role is that men
impregnate women, who give
birth. End of story.
Three days before the women
bishop saga ended, somehow,
two Anglican eminences stirred
another debate. Bishop Desmond
Tutu came out in support of as-
sisted suicide. Former Archbishop
of Canterbury, Lord Carey, an
earlier opponent of the proposal,
announced a U-turn. Archbishop
Welby was not amused.
An interesting coincidence
was that the House of Lords
actually there are many La-
dies would begin, and did on
Friday, the second reading of a
Bill to allow doctors to prescribe
a dose of a killer drug on request
to terminally-ill patients of sound
mind with an expectant life of six
months.
The Church of England rejects
proposed changes in the current
law, which allows an imprison-
ment of up to 15 years for anyone
assisting suicide. It rightly argues,
among many issues, that as a
member of society it has a right
to comment on prevailing debates
and its views need respect. Be-
sides, these views are held by even
non-believers. It acknowledges,
though, that its position is hinged
on theology.
Generally, laws require/prohibit
and allow this and that of citi-
zens. The law before the House
of Lords and those in countries
where assisted suicide is legal
allows; gives a choice. They do
not require. Being alive is very
personal, so are choices within
allowing laws, hence equality. It
is not all about heartbeats.
The two cases illustrate two
points. While religious authorities
have the right to prohibit or allow
choices within their systems, de-
pending on doctrine, they have no
business meddling in matters of
laws allowing this or that to all
citizens, for example, choice to
live or not.

196 bodies
found at jet
crash site
KIEV, Sunday
E
mergency workers in
Ukraine say they have
now found 196 bodies at
the crash site of the Malaysian
airliner MH17.
Most of these bodies have
been loaded into refrigerated
rail wagons in the nearby
rebel-held town of Torez, but
it is unclear who has access
to them.
A total of 298 people were on
MH17 when it was reportedly
hit by a missile on Thursday. All
are thought to have died.
Western countries have criti-
cised the pro-Russian rebels in
the area for restricting access
to the crash site.
The BBCs Fergal Keane, at
the site, said the indiscipline
and chaos of the last two days
had been replaced by the robust
presence of former riot police-
men who now form a cordon
around the central area of the
aircraft wreckage.
Ukraines government and
the rebels have accused each
other of shooting down the
Boeing 777, which was ying
from Amsterdam to Kuala
Lumpur.
The US State Department
said there had been multiple
reports of bodies and aircraft
parts being removed, and
potential evidence tampered
with.
Ukraines Security Council
spokesman Andriy Lysenko
said the pro-Russian rebels
are not telling where they
are taking them.
This is a big problem, he
said, adding that the rebels
are doing all they can to hide
evidence that a Russian missile
was involved.
The passenger list released
by Malaysia Airlines shows the
plane was carrying 193 Dutch
nationals (including one with
dual US nationality), 43 Ma-
laysians (including 15 crew), 27
Australians, 12 Indonesians and
10 Britons (including one with

T
he government has negoti-
ated a Sh4.4 billion loan
from the World Bank to
fund training of its workers to
manage petroleum resources.
The training will be done under
the Kenya Petroleum Technical
Assistance Project, targeting o-
cials from the ministry of Energy
and Petroleum, the Treasury, the
State Law Oce, the National Oil
Corporation of Kenya, Energy
Regulatory Commission and the
Kenya Pipeline Company, among
other government agencies.
We successfully concluded
negotiations for the $50 million
IDA credit at three consecutive
meetings held at the World
Bank Upper Hill oces. We are
currently awaiting the decision
and approval of the project
by the World Bank board of
executive directors during the
month of August, after which
the project will be fully rolled
out, said Principal Secretary
in the ministry of Energy and
Petroleum, Mr Joseph Njoroge,
on Friday.
The workers will be trained
on formulation and drafting of
comprehensive petroleum policy,
geotechnical data acquisition,
processing and interpretation,
oil revenue administration,
income saving mechanisms, as
well as local skills development
to ll existing gaps.
The programme will also
focus on development of a
communications strategy to
create awareness for managing
expectations and formulation of
a structure for relaying informa-
tion on petroleum business.
With the project, Kenya is
hoping to avert the oil resource
management challenges that
have been evident in a number
of African countries, leading to
conicts, noted Mr Njoroge.
At the moment, government
records show that oil reserves
discovered in the northern part
of the country so far are in excess
of 600 million barrels, which
industry insiders say meets the
minimum threshold for com-
mercial exploitation.
The Energy ministry has set a
target of 2018 to start production
and has already advertised for
consultancy services to oversee
construction of a crude oil pipe-
line between Hoima in Uganda
through Lokichar in Turkana to
the proposed port in Lamu.
Update laws
While Kenya has emerged as
a frontier in oil and gas explo-
ration, going by the discoveries
made so far, the government is
yet to update laws to guide the
management of the resource.
The current Petroleum (Explo-
ration and Production) Act, for
instance, has been in use since
1984 and does not provide a for-
mula for sharing revenue from
sale of oil or gas between the
national government, counties
and local communities. It also
fails to provide contractual terms
for exploration of natural gas.

A team that will help the gov-
ernment achieve universal access
to affordable telecommunications
services has been formed.
The Universal Service Advisory
Council will provide policy guidance
in implementation of the resources
meant to subsidise the cost of infor-
mation communication technology
in Kenya.
I believe weve the best people
with the right expertise for the job,
Information, Communications and
Technology Cabinet Secretary Fred
Matiangi said during the event.
The members who were appointed
on May 9, 2014 for a period of three
years include; Catherine Ngahu
(chairperson), Josephine Towett,
James Wangiros, Rodah Masaviru,
J Kennedy Okongo, Nixon Gecheo,
Wellington Godo, Samuel Mutungi,
and Michael Itote.
In spite of the rapid growth of ICT
services in the country, the disparity
in availability and access to telecoms
services between rural and urban
areas continues to widen, said Dr
Matiangi.
While the private sector has an
important role to play in meeting
universal access, there is need for
government to promote investments
in un-served and underserved areas
through various initiatives including
Universal Service Fund, he added.
The fund will play a key role in sub-
sidising the cost of ICT infrastructure

T
he contribution of
manufacturing to the
regions Gross Domes-
tic Product is low compared to
other parts of the world, a new
survey says.
The limited role that man-
ufacturing currently plays in
Eastern Africa is, therefore,
a potential source of concern
for policy makers and develop-
ment partners, reads Eastern
Africas manufacturing sector
report.
According to the survey
by the African Development
Bank, the muted activity in
industries is leading to a high
unemployment rate. Further,
the level of diversication in
the blocs industries is limited
while technological develop-
ment is low, it adds.
Currently, manufacturing
contributes 10 per cent to the
regional GDP which is very
small compared to 30 per cent
and 20 per cent in China and
Vietnam respectively.
However, hope is not lost for
the region. The survey singles
out food and beverages, leather,
non-metallic mineral products
and fabricated metal sub-sec-
tors as some of the industries
that hold potential for growth.
Electricals and machinery, tex-
tiles and furniture also have a
lot of potential to create jobs.
Speaking at the launch of the
report in Nairobi on Friday last
week, Industrialisation Prin-
cipal Secretary Wilson Songa
noted that the study would play
a critical role in supporting the
ministrys growth plan.
The areas of the ministrys
growth roadmap that have
greatly benefited from the
results of this study include
textiles and cotton; leather as
well as agro-processing, noted
Mr Songa.
Speaking at the event, Ko-
rean Ambassador to Kenya,
Mr Dong Gyou Choi noted
that textile business in the
country was facing sti com-
petition from second-hand
clothes. Mitumba business is
killing the domestic textile in-
dustry. Kenya needs to explore
its agricultural potential, said
Mr Choi.
Mr Songa said the ministry
was now promoting the micro,
small and medium enterprises;
developing special economic
zones and industrial parks,
besides improving the ease of
doing business in Kenya.

Brics shake up global
economic architecture
WASHINGTON, Sunday
By creating their own mul-
tilateral nancial institutions,
the Brics emerging-market
powers are shaking up global
economic governance, but re-
main far from dismantling the
post-war system dominated by
the West.
For the past 70 years, the
International Monetary Fund
and the World Bank have been
the pillars of the worlds eco-
nomic system, coming to the
rescue of countries in trouble
and supporting development
projects, respectively.
But the Bretton Woods insti-
tutions are regularly criticised
for their inability to reflect
the growing and important
contributions of the major
emerging economies to the
global economy.
In this context, the launch on
Tuesday of a development bank
and an emergency reserve fund
by the Brics Brazil, Russia,
India, China and South Africa
appears to be a concrete
attempt to address those in-
equities.
If the existing institutions
were doing their jobs perfectly,
there would be no need to go
to the trouble of creating a
new bank, a new fund, said
Paulo Nogueira Batista, who
represents Brazil and 10 other
countries at the IMF.
The mere creation of the two
Brics institutions sends a strong
signal to Western powers, where
some doubt the ability of the
ve powerhouses to surmount
their individual needs and ambi-
tions. (AFP)

Singapore Airlines apologises for insensitive MH17 post
SINGAPORE, Sunday
Singapore Airlines (SIA)
has apologised for posting an
insensitive comment on so-
cial media about the Malaysia
Airlines Flight MH17 crash
in crisis-stricken eastern
Ukraine.
Hours after the Boeing 777-
200 passenger jet with 298
people on board went down
on Thursday, believed shot
by a surface-to-air missile, SIA
posted a one-line statement on
Facebook and Twitter.
It read: Customers may
wish to note that Singapore
Airlines ights are not using
Ukraine airspace.
The comment sparked anger
among users of social media.
How about at least acknowl-
edging the terrible event and
sending condolences to those
families and friends involved
instead of this cold, classless
update?, wrote a Michael Reif
in response.
Hundreds of others joined
in the condemnation but some
defended the airline, saying it
was trying to reassure custom-
ers concerned about the safety
of their ight route.
We are aware that our Fa-
cebook and Twitter update on
Friday morning may have come
across as insensitive to some,
SIA said in a Facebook posting
late on Saturday.
We recognise that the
information could have been
better communicated and
we sincerely apologise if it
had oended our customers
and anyone else in the online
community, it added.
The post was in response
to many requests from our
customers who had asked for
information about our ight
routes for their upcoming
ights with us. (AFP)
The information
could have been better
communicated,

HELSINKI, Sunday
W
ith freezing winters
where the mercury
can sink well below
zero and cool summers, Fin-
land will never be a destination
of choice for the worlds sun-
seekers.
But its chilly weather has
attracted technology giants
such as Google and Micro-
soft that seek a cool haven for
thousands of servers holding
terabytes of data from around
the world.
In Finland we are excited
that we can nally turn (our)
cold climate and uneventful
boring society into a com-
petitive advantage, said
tech-industry writer Petteri
Jaervinen.
The rapid rise of the Internet
and the digital economy have
fuelled an exponential growth
in demand for data storage.
But data banks generate a
lot of heat and are very ex-
pensive to cool, particularly
in hot weather. That means
companies can bank large
savings by locating servers in
countries such as Finland, with
its cool climate and temperate
summer.
In 2009, Google bought an
old paper factory in Hamina, a
town near the Russian border,
and converted it into a data
centre cooled with Baltic sea
water.
Microsoft followed suit late
last year with a $250-million
project to build a data centre
in northern Finland.
Microsoft also bought the
handset unit of Finnish mo-
bile telephone maker Nokia,
but said on Thursday it will
slash 18,000 jobs from its
global workforce, most of
which are at Nokia.
Now, Helsinki hopes a new
1,000-kilometre fibre-optic
cable beneath the Baltic Sea
will give it an extra edge in
the global data race and a
much-needed shot in the arm
for its agging economy.
Cable economy
After two years of reces-
sion, Finnish policymakers
are desperate for good news
and the cable linking Finland
with Germany, which could be
operational as early as 2015,
might be it.
Minister for International
Development Pekka Haavisto
hopes the cable can help revi-
talise the technology industry
in a country that once led the
eld in innovation as the home
of Nokia, but has since fallen
on hard times. (AFP)

FORMULA ONE | I did as much as I could but it was hard to get through the pack, says Hamilton
Rosberg wins rst German GP
Hockenheim, Germany
N
ico Rosberg completed a memorable
week for himself and his nation yes-
terday when he cruised to his rst
win in his home German Grand Prix.
The pole sitter, cheered on by Germany
World Cup winner Lukas Podolski in the
Mercedes pits, extended his lead to 14
points over teammate Lewis Hamilton,
who charged up to nish third from 20th
on the grid.
Its an amazing feeling to win at home.
Its a very special day, said Rosberg.
Splitting the Mercedes men in second
was the Williams of Valtteri Bottas. Rosberg
came home a comfortable 20.7 seconds
ahead of the Finn at the end of an enthral-
ling 67-laps contest.

the second Red Bull.
Rosbergs win came after a week in
which he had married his long-term
girlfriend Vivian Sibold, signed an
extended contract with Mercedes and
celebrated Germanys World Cup vic-
tory. It was his fourth win of the season
and the seventh of his career.
But even such joyful supremacy
was overshadowed in an incident-
lled race by the bold passing pace of
Hamilton, who started at the rear of
the grid following his high speed crash
in qualifying.
The Englishman delivered a thrilling
series of dramatic moves muscling his
way through the eld, but in the end
was unable to grab second in the clos-
ing laps as Bottas hung on to register
an historic podium for the resurgent
Williams team.
I had great fun, said Hamilton. I
did as good as I could. It was hard to
get through the pack safely... it was
hard to overtake so Im glad to get
some points today.
On one passing move Hamiltons
car clipped the McLaren belonging
to Jenson Button.
I had a little bit of a collision with
Jenson, he reected. I thought he was
going to open the door which he has
done a couple of times lately but that
was my bad judgement. (AFP)

towering sixes. He top-scored for Sir
Ali who won the toss and elected to
bat rst, setting a target of 201 by the
time all their batsmen were sent back
to the pavilion in 47 over.
Kenyas assistant team coach,
Thomas Odoyo who is also Sir Alis
player and coach, shared a fourth
wicket partnership of 64 runs with
Hamza Malik (28), the best stand for
the side. The partnership was broken
when David Waters (1/47) had Malik
caught behind by Martin Okoth.
Tom Pugh(3/12) was Kongonis
highest wicket taker. Eugene Maneno

produced an excellent score of 42 Sta-
bleford points, to beat a eld of 122 in
the fth leg of the Nation Circuit at
the par-71 Eldoret Golf Club course
at the weekend.
In a closely contest tournament,
Gikonyo won by a narrow margin of
one point from second-placed Charles
Nganga.
Former Boston Marathon champion
Moses Tanui, now one of the leading
golfers at Eldoret Club, produced an
impressive 38 points to nish third
in the tournament sponsored by the
Nation Media Group.
Tanui, who said he stood a good
chance of winning the event until
he messed a few holes at the back
nine, nished a point ahead of Ajay
Shah.

I was headed for an overall victory
but I shots towards the end, but Im
happy my game is getting better by

who was later chopped to 10.
Jane Koech, on 34 points, took
the ladies prize. Leading the guests
was S. Kirui on 37 points. Neev Shah

Chumo also won the ladies longest

Kristo wins
Tour stage as
Bauer fades
Nimes, France

New Zealander Jack Bauer (above)
came within 100 metres of winning
yesterdays 15th stage of the Tour
de France after a 222km breakaway
before Alexander Kristo chased him
down.
The Norwegian won his second
stage of this Tour following the run
from Tallard to Nimes, the third
longest stage of 2014.
Bauer and escape companion
Martin Elmiger had attacked from
the o and held a lead of almost
nine minutes after 26km but were
gradually reeled in.
Coming into the last kilometre
they still had around 12sec on the
bunch and while Elmiger wilted,
Bauer fought right to the end, only
to be overhauled by the peloton in
the last 100 metres.
After crossing the line 10th, he
broke down in tears.
Its just bitter, bitter disappoint-
ment. Its a childhood dream to
win a stage of the Tour and for a
domestique, like myself, Im nor-
mally working for others, said the
29-year-old.
This was my rst chance to be
up the road and with the chance in
the wind and the weather, me and
Martin realised we had a chance for
the win. I faked to be tired but felt
I had more punch left. I left it until
400 metres to go. I thought I had
it but then I realised in the last 50
metres, that I had nothing.
Kristo, who also won Thursdays
12th stage in Saint-Etienne, said he
thought the peloton had left it too
late.
I was scared of course that they
would keep ahead but there were
some strong pulls at the end by
Giant-Shimano to pull them back,
said the 27-year-old.
At the end I had the best lane but
I wasnt sure Id win until 100 metres
to the nish.
With a 45-second lead and 8km
left it looked like the breakaway
duo might hold on as the chase
was disorganised. There were a
lot of roundabouts at the end which
made it very dicult to get the team
together to make a good chase, said
Kristo.
The Norwegian admitted he was
also surprised to win because he
didnt think he would be able to beat
Germans Marcel Kittel and Andre
Greipel in a sprint nish. (AFP)
Its a bitter disappointment.

KOGALO CORNER | Tom Osanjo
It is a no-brainer, Kenyan clubs indeed plan to fail
A
nd the extravaganza is nally
over. What a roller-coaster ride
the World Cup turned out to
be. As we took time out from KOgalo
Corner to concentrate on the football
esta that was staged in Brazil, I man-
aged to participate in perhaps what
was the most authoritative weekly
analysis of the event in this neck of
the woods on Nation FM radio.
It was quite an experience joining
radio queen Angela Angwenyi and the
evergreen Lorna Irungu for our panel
consisting of sports marketer Her-
bert Mwachiro, Supersport General
Manager Auka Gecheo and myself
for the weekly shows.
Suce to say, just like millions
across the world we also took our bets
and the one person coming tops in
this was Lorna Irungus mother who
correctly predicted from day one that
the Germans would lift the diadem.
Auka and I were with the Brazilians
(a massive heartbreak), Herbert had
his beloved Argentina mauled in the
nal match while Lorna was double
faced backing both Spain and Ger-
many. Playing the safest hand in the
bet was Angela who rooted for all the
African teams.
Watching and commentating on
this primus inter pares of sports
taught me some crucial lessons which
I honestly hope our Kenyan sports
administrators would replicate here.
The rst lesson was that of planning.
With the benet of hindsight we can
all agree that the team that came to
the tournament best prepared was
Germany, the eventual victors.
A key element in this preparation
was the insistence by the German
Football Association to have as
many young people as possible
given greater roles in their respec-
tive clubs. With constant monitoring
of these young talents, the associa-
tion literally had its eyes on the ball
at Brazil 2014.
When nally the draw was done,
the Germans built the Campo Bahia
which came complete with a train-
ing pitch, team headquarters and a
tness centre among others.
Contrast this to the chaotic organi-
sation that is the hallmark of our local
football where each football match is
treated by the football nabobs like an
emergency event. How do you explain
a case like happened recently when
our noisy neighbours Ingwe went to
a tournament in Sudan without the
ocial team doctor?
It is not that the other clubs, in-
cluding our beloved Gor Mahia is any
better. KOgalos current predicament
is a good example, playing without a
sponsor and ocials forced to beg for
money from supporters via MPesa
after the end of the sponsorship deal
with Brookside Dairies through their
Tuzo brand. The ocials knew that
one day the deal would come to an
end but instead of looking for alterna-
tive funding, they sat wringing their
hands haplessly and now the club is
paying for the ineptitude.
OFF THE PITCH | Moses Ojuang
Belittling local league is scoring own goal
low Kenyans I met in a bar
laughing as loud as they could
about our transfer window.
I had procured the full list of
transfers in the KPL and was
studying it closely just before
the kick-o of a world cup
match. One of these wicked
fellows politely asked me
what important document it
was that I was scanning.
I made the mistake of
telling him it was the list of
transfers of the Kenyan clubs.
The devil smoothed his hair
on his head in an eort to
hide his evil horns and begged
me if he too could see what
was in the badly typed and
scanned document. I swear,
had I obeyed my instincts I
would not have handed him
the copy. There was a strong
smell of burning rubber and
brimstone as he gently took
the list from my hand.
The annoying person barely
read the rst transfer costing
a whopping Sh30,000 before
he burst out laughing like an
evil cartoon character- like
Akoo in Samurai Jack! It
was the most annoying and
wicked laughter I have heard
in a decade.
He cackled till tears
smeared his face attracting the
full attention of his malevolent
pals. They now were reading
it aloud and commenting on
the paltry sums with stupid
comparisons like: Hebu im-
agine Messi being signed by
Manchester United for thirty
thousand shillings!
They generally derided
the Kenyan Premier League
and made me very miserable
and angry. Those thoroughly
iniquitous people were attract-
ing the attention of everyone
in the bar and all were now
screeching in glee. An old
white-haired fellow who
should have known better
chipped in with the remark
that a KOgalo player moved
to AFC Leopards after his
parents were gifted a fty-
kilogram bag of Mumias
sugar and some tea leaves!
This seemed to tickle the
crowd even more and the
old man became a hero.
Where did patriotism go in
this country? What did they
expect a KPL club to pay for
the services of a player? Sh30
billion?
We are a small economy
and as it is we will still buy
and sell players at the rate we
do. If it tickles errant people.
let it be. I would have slapped
those four had they not been
big muscled men from the
Torture Chamber gym but all
the same, if something hap-
pens to their board with the
motto: Shut up and train!,
they should know it was the
deed of a patriot.
W
hile you were away,
virtually in Brazil,
the Kenyan Premier
League was going on oblivious
of your absence. We expected
that and we suspect you too
knew the same but we must
stick to our peculiar habits and
run in our own groove.
I must take this opportunity
to register my disappointment
and anger with some born and
bred Kenyans who were laugh-
ing at our transfer window as
if it was a raft of jokes.
You see, while the World Cup
was heating up; our league too
had to take a short break in
preparation for the second
round. This short break was
meant for transfer of players
as each club sought to position
itself a fresh in the quest for
the championship.
This happens everywhere
in the world where football is
played but to us it is just a wee
bit dierent in the timing. We
dont give a hoot about some-
thing called Fifa calendar so we
do it in our shoddy way and we
demand to be respected by all
foreigners since we believe all
Kenyans respect us.
At this moment, a lot of
credit is put to use by Kenyan
football fans to seek news of
transfers in Europe. There are
people out there who know all
about the transfers in Western
Europe.
They can even speculate cor-
rectly, based on the needs of
the clubs they support. They
can sift out rumours from facts
and I am sure given a chance,
these maestros can bet very
correctly and be suspected of
having xed the gamble.
It is not a sin and I revere
any form of knowledge and
aliation; one can love Do-
minican Republic football
league for all I care but my
beef rests with those four fel-

AFC coasting
to relegation
W
hat a weekend it was on the
local football scene. I have
got to admit that that loss by
the broke, tax haunted club to some
lower tier team at the refurbished Moi
Stadium in Kisumu County made my
Saturday. Memories are indeed made
of this.
A Christmas like celebration would
have done for me, if not for my shal-
low pockets on the day. But this is as
far as the good news comes, unfortu-
nately, because trouble is brewing at
the den. Again.
Not surprisingly, this latest trou-
ble is associated with some consistent
messy stu from the teams adminis-
tration and to an extent the technical
bench.
Nothing new about this to be
honest, unless you live under a rock.
Those who were at the Nyayo Stadium
when Leopards lost 2-1 to bogey side
Mathare United were lucky enough
to witness the snapshot of what I am
writing about.
Then, hundreds of angry fans scaled
the facilitys perimeter fence moments
after the nal whistle, while others
forced their way through the gates
and held the team ransom for close
to 45 minutes.
The supporters were seeking an-
swers as to why their beloved team has
consistently churned out below par
results since the start of the second
leg in the league.
Credit to the team coach Pieter de
Jongh, who assumed the leadership
mantle and explained that the side
was trying to gel especially after the
arrival of several players during the
mid-season transfer window, coupled
with the surety that the situation will
improve.
The current situation at Ingwe
reminds me of a similar situation
some four years go that led to the
resignation of then coach, the late
Chris Makokha.
To be honest, the entire AFC
Leopards set up and how things are
handled at the club looks like a curse
in my eyes.
As things stand, Leopards are un-
comfortably perched in the relegation
zone in the league standings, ahead
of only KCB, Nakuru All Stars and
City Stars.
One can dare wonder why the most
nancially stable team in the Kenyan
Premier League, and the most expen-
sively-assembled side, as a matter of
fact, consistently struggles to produce
betting results.

2015 AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS | Suspended Amrouche watches game from the stands in Maseru
BY ISAAC SWILA

H
arambee Stars have been left
with a mountain to climb in
their bid to earn passage to
the group stages of the 2015 African
Cup of Nations qualiers after they
went down 0-1 to Lesothos Crocodiles
in a pulsating contest played in chilly
weather at the Setsoto Stadium in
Maseru yesterday.
After a closely contested first
half where Harambee Stars gave a
strong ght, Lesotho turned on the
pressure to score in the 65th minute
when Bushy Moletsane dribbled pas
defenders David Calabar Owino and
David Cheche Ochieng to plant the
ball in the net.
Stars must now win the return leg
by at least two goals guarantee pas-
sage to Group C where Burkina Faso,
Gabon and Angola lie in wait.
Deputy coach James Nandwa, who
was holding brief for suspended Adel
Amrouche, elected to start with Allan
Wanga as the lone centre forward with
FK Tirana playmaker Francis Ka-
hata deployed just behind him.
But Wanga, who sealed a big
money move to Sudans
Al-Merreikh last month
failed to sparkle miss-
ing two clear
cut chances
in either
side of the
break. The
28-year-
old Wanga
fluffed a

but he was denied by Lesotho goalie

stituted by Jacob Keli.
Former Inter- Milan midelder
MacDonald Mariga and Jamal Malo
Malo Mohammed were brought in
for David Gateri and Francis
Kahata respectively
late in the game
but it could
not yield
much as
the well-
organized hosts, who camped
in Botswana for week, gave no
way.
Amrouche, who was serving the
rst of his two-match ban slapped
by Confederation of African
Football, was on the terraces but
conceivably, constantly kept touch
with his technical bench through
phone texts.
Flamboyant midelder
A late surge by the flamboyant
Jamal, Mariga and Keli kept the
handful of Stars fans at the stadium
on their feet but the hard tackling
Crocodiles defence kept their dis-
cipline.
We have had
a very compact
game. It was
just a small
communica-
tion error at
the back that
cost us the
match. We now
have to try our best
to get a win in Nairobi and qualify,
skipper Victor Wanyama said after
the defeat.
Lesotho will be buoyed by the
outcome ahead of the return leg
with star-player, Bokang Lefty
Mothoana expected to feature in
Nairobi having missed yesterdays
encounter with an injury. Kenya was
without Arnold Origi, Dennis Oliech
and Ayumb Timbe.
The return match will be held
on August 2 at Afraha Stadium in
Nakuru.

Kenyans yesterday took to social
media with various reactions mo-
ments after the national football
teams 0-1 loss to Lesotho in a
2015 Africa Nations Cup qualier.
A lone strike by Bushy Mo-
lestance proved enough for the
hosts as Harambee Stars lost 0-1
to the Likuena (Crocodiles) at the
Setsosto Stadium in Maseru.
The embarrassing loss angered
many as Kenya are ranked 95th in
the world by Fifa while Lesotho are
lowly 131.
A section of the fans suggested
that the teams current composi-
tion did not consist of the best
players available.
Team selection questions
Another group questioned coach
Adel Amrouches team selection
while the rest queried the sig-
nicance of the players recent
trip to South America where the
team was sent to Brazil to watch a
number of World Cup matches by
President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Harambee Stars always lose by
1-0. Am not at all surprised. I will
be (surprised) if we qualify for the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations, Ken
Juma said on Facebook.
@bedjosessien posted on Twit-
ter: (We lose) And yet Amrouche
says he does not need Oliech?
Let him get another Oliech then
chase away Dennis Oliech Kenya
still needs him, in reference to
the coachs recent spat with the
former Harambee Stars captain.

Former Kenya international
Sammy Omollo struck a more dip-

All is not lost. There is much
to do in the return leg because,
rstly, there is not much time to
prepare and then we have to win
with two clear goals, he said while
doing punditry for a local radio

A
rsenal have shown interest in
Manchester United target William
Carvalho, but their 30 million
(about Sh3.5 billion) bid for the stylish
powerhouse was rejected yesterday, ac-
cording to reports in England.
Carvalho has been heavily sought-after
over the last few month, with particular
interest from Manchester United. United
are in desperate need of reinforcements
in the middle of the park and Louis van
Gaal is keen on recruiting the young talent,
following up from David Moyes interest
during his tenure at the club.
Sporting are desperate for Carvalho to
stay one more season and are trying to oer
the youngster a new deal by oering him
more money. Sporting Lisbon recently said
there had been no oers for Carvalho, but
it seems that Arsene Wenger has had an
approach rebued by the club.
The Portuguese star was recently
valued at 35 million (about Sh4.8
billion), which falls well short of
Wengers proposal of Sh3.5 bil-
lion. Sporting are holding out
for an oer closer to the 45
million (about Sh5 billion)
release clause in Car-
valhos contract.

Im not deeply concerned by it. I just

know what happened, I dont want to talk
too much about it. A common consensus
is that Wilsheres career has stalled over
recent years, with injury and loss of form
costing him his place in both the Arsenal
and England teams last season.
And Wenger insists the coming campaign
will be an important one for the talented
midelder if he is to full his potential.
(Agencies)
Belgium striker
Divock Origi is on
the verge of joining
English giants Liver-
pool. According to
Belgian newspaper
Het Nieuwsblad, Liv-
erpool have agreed a fee for Origi.
The surprisingly low fee of just 13million
will mean that the Belgian World Cup
start will stay on loan at Lille next season
before joining up with the Reds in 2015.
In an interview with Het Nieuwsblad,
former Ajax and Anderlecht striker Jan
Mulder also claimed that the deal is done
and compared Origi to Marco van Bas-
ten. 13million is an unbelievably low
price, said Mulder. Its ridiculous. Origi
is a winner, and at the World Cup I en-
joyed watching him more than Hazard.

for United between 1990 and 2002,
thinks it will be the start of a long stay.
He has pace, is great going forward
and is still only young, said Irwin. He is
going to be a fantastic signing for years
to come. Irwin added: Market forces
dictate what you have to pay for players
and there was talk of Chelsea being in
for him.

record fee, believed to be around 10m.
The forward has signed a three-year deal
with the option of another 12 months.
I always wanted to play in the Premier
League. Ive always been a massive fan,
from the moment I moved to Europe. It
was always a dream, he told BBC Sport.
Its what I really wanted for my career

Mohamed Salahs
Chelsea career
is hanging in the
balance as he may
be ordered to
return to Egypt to
complete military
service, Egyptian media reported. Salah,
who completed a move to Stamford
Bridge from Swiss club Basel in January,
is allowed to live in England on the basis
of his participation in an educational
programme. However, his registration
to that programme has been rescinded
by the Minister of Higher Education in
Egypt, meaning the pacy 22-year-old
may have to return home. If Salah was
obliged to return home, he would not be
allowed to leave Egypt again until com-
pletion of a period of military service,
ranging from 12 months to three years.

Edinson Cavani (left) will be back on
the Manchester United radar if Wayne
Rooney fails to convince Louis van Gaal
about his willingness to adapt to the
Dutch coachs system during the tour
to the USA.
Rooney was on his way out of
United before Sir Alex Ferguson
retired because he would not adjust
to the tactics set up to accommodate
Robin van Persie.
And, of course, at the World Cup
Rooney pressurised England boss Roy
Hodgson into moving him inside from
a left-sided attacking role ultimately
to his countrys detriment.
Van Persie is not on the US tour
but with the new season in mind Van
Gaal does not see Rooney in a central
striking in the 3-4-3 system he plans
to introduce the Holland captain will
play up top. So it is likely he will still use
this tour to test Rooneys exibility.
Van Persie certain to stay
If the Dutchman is not satised with
the players attitude he will look to
bring in Uruguay star Cavani from
PSG, who illustrated how he is will-
ing to dove tail with a spearhead when
he played a supporting role for Luis
Suarez at the World Cup.
And Cavani has hinted via his agent
he is looking to leave the French club
this summer and wants to play in
England.
When United feared Van Persie
would leave in the summer, Cavani
became one of the main targets to
replace him. The departure of David
Moyes and appointment of Van Gaal
has changed the dynamic with Van
Persie now certain to stay but the
club are open to oers for Rooney if
he doesnt t into the new managers
plans. (Daily Mail)
Van Gaal could replace Rooney with Cavani

P
rimary and secondary schools
are expected to receive Sh4.35
billion for free learning today
following a directive by Deputy Presi-
dent William Ruto.
Schools have been asked to check
their bank accounts from Wednesday
to see whether the transfers ordered
last week have been eected.
Treasury Secretary Henry Rotich
told the Nation yesterday that they
are only waiting for the Central Bank
to set up the accounts before wiring.
We received a request from the
Ministry of Education and have
notied Central Bank to set up new
accounts for each department. Once
that is done on Monday, the money
will be disbursed immediately, Mr
Rotich said.
Education PS Belio Kipsang said
they had already written to the
Treasury asking them to release the
money to the school accounts by today
as directed by Mr Ruto.
The request has been done and the
systems have been activated. By the
end of the week, the money shall have
reached the accounts of all schools
depending on the speed of the schools
banks, Mr Kipsang told the Nation.
The Treasury also announced that
in this nancial year, money will be
wired on the basis of departments as
all principal secretaries will become
accounting ocers.
Accounting ocer
We split the votes of the Ministry
of Education from one accounting of-
cer to two. This will also be the case
in all other ministries with more than
one PS. Each PS will become an ac-
counting ocer unlike last year when
I nominated one, Mr Rotich said.
The Kenya National Union of
Teachers (Knut) warned of releasing
the funds in tranches and said future
delays in releasing the funds will not
be entertained.
The money should be in the
schools accounts on the rst day of
each term. We demand all the monies
that were due up to the second term to
be wired in full. The issue of doses will
not be entertained, Knut secretary-
general Wilson Sossion said.
The Knut boss said the Jubilee
administration should ensure the
promise made to Kenyans of free
primary and secondary education
is fullled.
Mr Ruto had ordered Treasury and
the Ministry of Education to ensure
that money is released to schools at
the beginning of the term to ensure
smooth operations in schools.
The Treasury had allocated the
Education ministry Sh308.6 billion
this financial year, which will see
Sh28.2 billion allocated to Free Day
Secondary Education, Sh13.5 billion
for free primary education and Sh55
billion for university education.
A further Sh17.4 billion will be used
for the free laptops project.

A
t 34 years, Teresia Kananu
is a mother of six; ve girls
and one boy. Her first
born is 19 years old while her
last born just turned four. When
she got pregnant with her rst
child, she had just fallen in love;
the breathy, reckless kind of rst
love that makes an impressionable
15-year-old leave her parents home
and move in with her boyfriend.
She had dreams for her young
family, dreams that she would see
her two children grow up strong
and healthy and educated.
Yes, she wanted just two chil-
dren, and she was determined to
give them the education she never
had, having dropped out of school
at Standard Two after, she says,
her father refused to continue
paying her school fees.
Nineteen years down the line,
Teresia nds herself the mother
of six children, none of whom she
has managed to educate beyond
primary school. They all live in a
two-room tin-house which looks
like it can collapse at the slightest
hint of a sti wind.
Her rst husband and the fa-
ther of her rst three children died
under mysterious circumstances
while in prison. She remarried, and
then three more children came.
How did her life play out this
way? How did her dream of two
healthy, educated children disin-
tegrate into the nightmare of six
whom she can barely feed?
I dont know, she says. The
children just kept coming and it
seems there was nothing I could
do. I only caught a break when
my rst husband died and did not
bear any children for six years. But
immediately I remarried, I popped
out three in quick succession, can-
celling all the good the break had
given me.
Teresias story is not a unique
one. Not special in any way. And
that is precisely the reason we
picked it to wade into the bare-
knuckle facts and statistics that
prompted this article. The real-
ity is that Kenyan women are
having children unplanned
children and lots of them. And
as a result, the country nds it-
self in the midst of a population
explosion that points to tough
times ahead.
Here are some fast facts: Kenyas
fertility rate stands at 4.6, accord-
ing to statistics from the Kenya
Demographic and Health Survey of
2008. This means that, on aver-
age, a Kenyan woman gives birth
to four children, or ve if you
round o. The average fertility
rate for the world is 2.49 per
cent, meaning that a Kenyan
woman is likely to give birth
to three more children than the
average woman in the world.
Replacement level
The latest report by the World
Bank puts Kenyas population
at 44.35 million, up from the 38
million counted during the 2009
census. To maintain its current
population, Kenyas fertility rate
would have to immediately dip to
2.2 births per woman. This is the
replacement level which would
ensure that the population neither
grows nor declines.
By the year 2030, Kenya is
hoping to transform into an indus-
trialised, middle-income country.
Try to picture it: tighter security;
smoother, wider roads; better-
equipped hospitals; more schools;
more airports; improved railway
network; more jobs for everyone.
It sounds like the collective dream
of a nation coming true.
But in the same year, Kenyas
population will have hit the 65 mil-
lion mark. And there is nothing
we can do about it. Not when our
fertility rate is at 5.6 per cent.
A population analysis report
by the United Nations Popula-
tion Fund (UNFPA) in July last
year argues that even if the fertil-
ity rate was to immediately drop
to the replacement level, Kenyas
population would continue to grow
for at least a few years because of
the population growth momentum
created by an overwhelmingly
youthful population.
Forty three per cent of Kenyas
population is under 15 years and as
much as 63 per cent is below 25,
says George Kichamu, the director
of technical services at National
Council of Population and De-
velopment. These young people
are approaching their reproduc-
tive years, meaning that even if the
girls were to have just two children
each, there would still be a steep
rise in the population.
In order for the country to
benet from a low fertility rate,
it will have to wait until the cur-
rent young ones have had their
two children each, leading to
progressively fewer births per
generation. If sustained, this will
lead to a situation where Kenya has
a population growth rate of zero,
an ideal that has been achieved by
many developed countries.
But according to the National
Council of Population and
Development, Kenyas current
population growth rate stands at
2.9 per cent. This means that every
year, between one million and 1.1
million new people are added to
the population.
Apart from the high fertility rate,
another reason that Kenya nds
itself in this dicey position is that
the mortality rate has continued
to drop over the years.
Better health care systems and
an improved quality of life means
more infants are surviving at birth
and living long enough to celebrate
their fth birthday.
These children are then expected
to live until they are 60, which is
the national life expectancy gure.
It is still below the world average
of 70, but much better than it was
a few years ago.
A high, rapidly growing popula-
tion comes with challenges that
pervade the country at all levels. At
the most basic level, it means that
Kenya has more mouths to feed,
more people to house and more
people to provide jobs for.
Strain on resources
A high population means that
there is that much strain on the
already meagre resources we have
fought over for years. Land clashes
the salt in the politically inicted

challenges that pervade the country at all levels. At the
most basic level, it means that Kenya has more mouths to

jobs for. A high population means that there is that much
strain on the already meagre resources we have fought over
for years. Land clashes the salt in the politically inicted

that Kenyans start having smaller
families. The answer lies in provi-
sion of family planning methods
and wide availability of reproductive
health services.
Remember Teresia from the begin-
ning? She condes that, for a long
time, she had no access to any form
of family planning, leaving her with
no control over how many children
she got.
I would hear women in the village
talking about contraceptives but it
was always in a negative way, where
popular belief held that contracep-
tives cause cancer, she says. For this
reason, I shied away from attending
family planning sessions even though
they were available at Meru Level 5
Hospital.
Her attitude changed
when her sixth child
came and she real-
ised that unless
she sought help,
she would con-
tinue bearing
unplanned chil-
d r e n
whose lives were bound to be as
uncertain as those of their siblings.
This fear of popping a seventh
baby is what informed her decision
to start using contraceptives in 2009.
She has not had any other pregnan-
cies since.
Like we said earlier, Teresias story
is not unique. She was just part of the
statistics that make up the 54 per cent
of married women who do not use
any form of contraception, according
to the 2008 Kenya and Demographic
Health Survey.
The biggest reason for this sorry
state of aairs is the overwhelming
misinformation about contraceptive
use and family other reproductive
health issues. Women remain woefully
ignorant of family planning methods,
with some like Teresia believing that
the more modern ones such
as pills and injectables lead
to diseases.
Many women do not
have access to family
planning services and
in some cases their husbands do
not allow them to make use of these
services even when they are avail-
able. In addition, cultural beliefs and
practices, especially among women in
rural areas, have contributed to low
uptake of family planning methods.
As the population council engages
in ways of scaling down the numbers
to more manageable levels in the next
few generations, what do we do with
the youth budge we currently have
on our hands?
Can our country take advantage
of its young population to realise de-
velopmental milestones that would
otherwise remain illusions?
Kenya, as well as the rest of the
East African region, is uniquely
placed to enjoy great economic
growth in the next 30 to 50 years if
it is willing to put in the work and
invest in its youthful population.
The Chinese say that the best
time to plant a tree is 20 years ago,
the next best time is now, says Dr
John Ssekamatte of the Ugandan
Planning Authority, responding to
a question on whether East African
countries can achieve their demo-
graphic dividend.
If these countries make the nec-
essary investments in education,
health care and skill development
for young people today, then in 30
years they will be poised to reap from
an educated, healthy populace with
the necessary skills to grow their
GDPs, he says.
Mr Kichamu of NCPD is in agree-
ment, saying that emphasis should be
laid on the education of girls.
Better educated girls go on to have
smaller families which is crucial if
Kenya is to cut its fertility rate, he
explains, The longer a girl stays in
school, the longer she delays mother-
hood, which in turn leads to healthier
birth outcomes.
He adds that the government must
improve transition levels between
primary and secondary schools, as
well as between secondary school and
universities, to ensure that the youth
are aorded a quality education.
The theme of this years World
Population Day, celebrated on July
11, was Investing in the Youth as a
Way to Secure the Future Generation.
Should we follow through and nd a
way to turn policy into action, then
the next generation may not have to
grapple with the daily challenges that
have become a part of us.

COVER STORY
With too many mouths to feed, Kenya headed for trouble
Harnessing the demographic
dividend is not automatic.
It is dependent on three
key things: lowering fertility
rate, investing in education
and making sound economic
policies that will position the
country to make the most of
opportunities availed to it.
Fertility rate: The
Government must
fully implement the
Family Planning
2020 commitment to
provide reproductive
health services to all
women, and thus in-
crease contraceptive
prevalence rate from 46 per cent to
70 per cent.
One of the ways to do this is
by empowering women and giv-
ing them a voice in reproductive
matters. When women have the
capacity to choose when to get
pregnant and how many children
they want, they end up with smaller,
healthier families, says Rachael
Nyamai, the chair of the Parliamen-
tary Committee on Health.
Unfortunately, men make most of
the decisions in the family, includ-
ing the family planning decision
which is ironically viewed as the
preserve of women. We are aware
of this and we are now rolling out
campaigns to educate men on the
advantages of family planning to
ease their resistance, says George
Kichamu of National Council for
Population and Development. In
addition, County and National
budgets for Family Planning must
be increased to ensure that women
can get the reproductive services
on demand in all government health
facilities.
Education: Eorts
must be made to
ensure that children
stay longer in school
to improve completion
rates at all levels of
education. In addition,
mid-level colleges
should be introduced to equip the
youth with relevant technical skills
that are on demand in the market.
According to the Kenya Demo-
graphic and Health Survey, more
men than women attend and nish
school. Still, the average education
attainment numbers for both sexes
remain very low. It is therefore inte-
gral that the government invests in
education, and lay special emphasis
on educating girls to ensure a well-
skilled work force is available in the
market. This will eliminate the gen-
der gap in education and increase
womens participation in the formal
labour force.
Economy: We need
to reduce reliance
on cheap imports
and invest in the pro-
duction of local goods
to provide a competitive
market for local entrepreneurs.
In addition, it is important to reduce
taxes charged on new businesses
and improve labour-employer rela-
tions so as to position Kenya as a
business friendly country for both
local and foreign investors.
The reality on the ground today:
Fertility rate is at 4.6
Contraceptive prevalence is at 46 per cent
Average completed education is at 6 years
Dependent population (0-14) is 43 per cent
Gross Domestic Product of Sh79,000

KENYAS TREASURY might
be running dry, but can the
country use its bottom-heavy
population to buy into a more
secure future?
Yes, it can! It has been done
before. At independence in
1963, Kenya was at the same
development level as Asian
economic powerhouse South
Korea. Between 1960 and
1990, South Korea success-
fully transitioned from a high
to low fertility rate and in the
process achieved an economic
transformation that propelled
it into the rst-world country it
is today.
South Korea successfully
achieved what is referred to by
economists as a demographic
dividend, dened by the Popu-
lation Reference Bureau as the
accelerated economic growth
that begins with a decline in a
countrys mortality and fertility
and the subsequent change in
the age structure of the popu-
lation.
With fewer births each
year, says the bureau, a
countrys young dependent
population grows smaller in
relation to the working-age
population. With fewer people
to support, a country has a
window of opportunity for
rapid economic growth if the
right social and economic
policies are developed and
investments are made.
Kenyas under-15 population
at the moment is dependent
on the working adults con-
sidered to be aged between 14
and 64 for sustenance. Such
a high dependency rate creates
a strain on available resources
since the non-working majority
is dependent on the working
minority.
However, if this young
population gives birth to fewer
children every year, in a few
decades we shall have a situ-
ation where the working-age
population is more than the
dependent one. From a bot-
tom-heavy population, Kenya
shall transition into a middle-
heavy one.
But that is only half the bat-
tle won. For us to harness the
demographic dividend, Kenya
must not only systematically
reduce its number of depend-
ents, but also ensure that the
working age population is
properly equipped to gener-
ate income. This will result in a
situation where the country will
enjoy less pressure on social
indicators such as health and
education and will therefore
have more money to invest in
infrastructure and industry.

Mr Kitoto,
I am an ardent reader of your column.
Thanks a million for your wise and rea-
sonable answers. I am 46, working in
Nyanza. My wife, 38, does business. We
have been married for 13 years, and we
have a son and a daughter.
My problem is that my wife, who lives
in our Central Kenya home, is either
unable to conceive or is simply unwill-
ing to. For the last two years, we have
been trying to get another child in vain.
This issue has created such a huge rift
between us that I have on several occa-
sions thought of fathering a child out of
wedlock. I am not having an extramari-
tal aair though. In fact, I travel home
every weekend. We are capable of rais-
ing another child, but it seems my wife
is against the idea and she is not telling
me. I am in a dilemma and age is catch-
ing up with us.
Please advise.

Hi,
I must congratulate you for the two
children you have. Conceiving, carrying
a pregnancy and bringing up a child is
both emotionally and physically de-
manding for a woman. However, from
your email, I do not have all the facts
regarding your wifes failure to conceive.
What you have written is based on what
you suspect. You will have to nd out
and try to understand the reason(s) be-
hind her refusal to conceive. It could
be that she is trying but it is not working
out. Note that just because a couple has
had one or two children is no guarantee
that a third or fourth will come easily.
Another possibility is that she is afraid
of having another baby for reasons only
she knows. It could be because of fear of
pain, particularly if one of her pregnan-
cies was dicult. Her fear might also be
related to her career. Does she feel that
her career will stall? Did you help her
during her previous pregnancies or to
look after the children? Maybe she fears
that a third pregnancy will turn out to be
another journey she will have to make
alone. Get time and explore the reasons
for her apparent reluctance to have an-
other child.
My man drinks, smokes
bhang and insults me
Hallo Mr Kitoto,
I follow your column and I love the
way you advise people. I am a 34-year-
old womanalthough it is hard to tell
just by lookingdating a man aged 30.
Ive been with him since November last
year. Weve broken up twice and made
up on both occasions. The disagree-
ments occurred because he listened to
stories about me and went discussing
me in a pub, even calling me a sugar
mummy.
My boyfriend drinks a lot whenever
he gets money. He is also addicted to
bhangi, which he smokes at least twice
a day. Ive tried talking to him in vain.
I have even involved his family, but he
doesnt seem ready to change.
I am now torn between leaving him
and continuing with the relationship
because I really want to have a baby.
His family likes me very much, but
they dont know what I go through.
Whenever he drinks, he insults me a lot
and demands sex all night.
Please help.
Hi,
There is only one person who can
decide whether or not this is the right
man for you. Your evaluation of the kind
of man he is, is indeed amazing. First,
his parents like you a lot. This would
give any woman the kind of security that
is rare in most marriages. Second, he
drinks and takes drugs, habits you dont
approve of. Third, he is emotionally
abusive. He calls you names and makes
many demands that you nd unreason-
able.
The question then is whether he is the
kind of person you would want to spend
the rest of your life with. I get the feel-
ing that your greatest need is to have a
child. You have been with this man since
November, and that, to the best of my
knowledge, is not enough time to make
you think you have found a man with
whom you can have children. Luckily,
you already know quite a bit about him,
which should enable you to make an
informed decision. What exactly are you
looking for?
Why cant I attract the
type of man I want?
Dear Sir,
Thank you for giving people a chance
to ask questions about relationships.
I am a 28, single, very attractive Afri-
can woman, and I am working. I have a
three-year-old daughter. My question is,
will I ever get a good man to marry me?
I have never been approached by an
African or even a white man. However,
Indian men have shown interest in me,
but I am afraid because they are not al-
lowed to marry outside their race and I
dont want to get involved with them.
Am I doing something wrong? Why
does my beauty appeal only to people
I am not interested in? What should I
do to get someone else in my life apart
from the ones showing interest.
Please advise.

Hi,
I must congratulate you for learning
that arming oneself is key to a healthy
self-image. It is an important lesson.
This gentle inner attitude is one that
makes a woman beautiful.
Being 28 years and a mother of a
daughter is something to be proud of.
Being married, though great in itself,
neither makes one complete nor brings
lasting fullment. There are many
single parents who have married and
thereafter split up after they got dis-
illusioned. Others have lived happily
as single parents or married and
enjoyed their marriage.
Let me take this opportunity and
talk about what is really important
in looking forward to a happy, fulll-
ing marriage.
If youre in a relationship, you should
not depend on your partner to make you
happy. As I have told many couples, one
partners happiness is not dependent on
the other partner.
In his book, Laugh Your Way to a
Better Marriage, Mark Gungor says: A
successful marriage is not the result of
two empty souls nding each other in an
attempt to complete each other. Two
empty, unfullled souls who get married
will just be a marriage of two empty,
unfullled souls. He asserts that A suc-
cessful marriage is possible only when
two complete and happy people get to-
gether for the purpose of building a life
together. They do not need the other to
be truly happy, complete or emotionally
whole.
When you get to this point in life, you
realise that you are already whole as you
join together to enjoy the benets that
marriage provides.
So, your happiness in marriage should
be driven by the fact that, although we
are relational beings, irrespective of
race, we cannot judge other people on

Hi,
Thank you for your compliments. The
team and I feel honoured to serve people
like you through this column. We trust
it will always be an encouragement and
inspiration to many.
I love him but hes a
real heartbreaker
I am 24 and a Third Year student
at a local university. I have been in a
relationship for four years with a man
who is four years my senior, and who
graduated from the same institution.
He has been pushing for us to get mar-
ried. After I told him that I couldnt get
married before nishing university, he
started behaving funny, calling me and
telling me that his friends in college
were telling him that I was going out
with other men. This led to serious dif-
ferences between us.
Recently, we diered and he told me
it was over. I pleaded with him and we
reconciled but after two days, we dif-
fered and he again told me it was over. I
pleaded with him once again and we rec-
onciled, but after a month, we diered
seriously. I was unhappy that he was
not communicating as frequently as he
used to. For him, he was mad at me for
expressing the emptiness I was feeling
inside as a result of his behaviour. Once
again, he told me it was over. This time I
accepted it but asked him to keep me as
a friend. He refused at rst and sent me
some nasty text messages, which made
me cry my heart out. After a few hours,
he started saying he wanted me back in
his life.
I was still hurting and didnt have
an immediate answer, so I told him to
give me time to think about it. This
happened two weeks ago. I have not
responded, although he has apologised
profusely about the text messages he
sent me. He says he cannot live without
me. I dont know whether to dump him
or forgive him and get back with him. I
love him but his continuous cruel behav-
iour is putting me o.
Please advise.

Hi,
A few things stand out in your email.
First is the issue of your career. You want
to complete college before you get mar-
ried because this is necessary for your
career. I pray that you will continue to
see this as extremely important, which
you must complete. Any college-educated
man who truly loves a woman but does
not wish the same for her is not worth
being friends with.
Another issue has to do with his out-
bursts, which have led to many break-ups
and caused you a great deal of emotional
pain. I wish your boyfriend would be
understanding and more considerate
towards your future dreams and desires.
Love must show sacrice and total faith
in each other as a couple marches to
the future. I suggest that, where there
is a need to compromise, you should do
it with the aim of adding value to each
other and not for selsh reasons.
The truth is that todays married
woman nds fullment in both her fam-
ily and career. Besides, life is also tough.
Maintaining a family is expensive and at
times calls for a couple to work hard to-
gether to make ends meet. Waiting until
you nish your studies will be as much a
favour to yourself as it will be to him.
ROSES N THORNS: EXPERT ADVICE TO YOUR MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS
I READ SOMEWHERE recently
that Fate is for those too weak
to determine their own destiny.
So, remembering that you
were created for a purpose and
that the choices you make have
consequences, is important.
Although we were created
for relationships, we should not
leave our choices to fate. We
have a will and the power to
carefully determine our rela-
tional choices.
As a result, we are expected
to choose wisely when getting
into relationships, as well as
when deciding on the sacrices
we are willing to make.
Once you marry, it is also
important to know your re-
sponsibilities. Relationships
require both faith and intel-
lectual thought. The connection
between a man and a woman
means one thing to the man,
and totally a dierent thing to
the woman.
Therefore, it is important to
avoid carelessness and compare
notes on choices and their po-
tential consequences. Knowing
this is key to making a strong
connection that will lead to a
lasting relationship. Knowledge
must inform us that connec-
tion goes beyond feelings and
includes coming up with clear
areas of agreement rather than
leaving things to fate. Although
the connection could start with
looks, mannerisms, and speech,
this should be allowed to grow
to how one carries themselves
around, as well as their beliefs
and values.
A well-connected couple will
have feelings such as: I feel
safe I feel accepted I feel
I belong and loved I am not
judged but given an opportunity
to try, or even fail.
Dont blame everything on It
was all the chemistry between
us. Generally, in a relation-
ship with good chemistry,
people have a good rapport
because their communication
styles match or complement
each other, or maybe they make
similar assumptions. It is sad
to blame bad choices saying,
Maybe fate wanted it that way.
By chemistry we do not just
mean feelings and temporal
emotional connections. Chem-
istry must also be seen as an
art we develop over time as we
blend our desires, dreams, and
ways of looking at issues. As
spouses learn and adjust to each
other, they get their rhythm. This
contributes into their overall
chemistry. The result is a well-
oiled relationship that owns up
to the choices they make.
Todays challenge
The words a man says to his
wife can do a lot to bring heal-
ing, condence, security and
hope to her. In their book, Build-
ing Your Mates Self-Esteem,
Dennis and Barbara Rainey say,
Words are like seeds. Once
planted in your mates life, your
words will bring forth owers or
weeds, health or disease, heal-
ing or poison. You carry a great
responsibility for their use. In
essence, the caution should al-
ways be that death and life lie in
the power of the tongue.
Therefore, in relationships, our
words can contaminate a posi-
tive self-image, bring healing to
a negative one or create total
disharmony. Building oneness
is not easy. But our eorts must
be well intended. For example,
What positive and encouraging
thing should I say to someone
today? What words can I use to
lift their spirit? What words can
I use to praise them to create
harmony?
Mind your language: Your words can bring
forth health or disease, healing or poison

A
future in which it is
difficult to tell man and
machine apart could soon become
reality, scientists say, after recent
robotic breakthroughs in Japan.
But as the once-fantastical idea
of wise-cracking android sidekicks
takes form in laboratories and
the gap between humans and
robots narrows society faces
ethical and legal complications
as yet undreamed of, they warn.
Already, computers have
surpassed human ability, leading
Japanese roboticist Hiroshi
Ishiguro told AFP. Robots will
be very clever soon.
Science fictions rapid slide
towards science fact owes much
to the likes of Ishiguro, who has
an android copy of himself that he
sends on overseas business trips
in his place.
It saves me time, he smiled.
The upper torso and lower torso
you can pack in two big suitcases.
The head is very fragile it goes
as carry-on baggage.
Robots already perform a
wide variety of tasks in Japan:
they cook noodles, help patients
undergo physiotherapy and have
been used in the clean-up after
the 2011 nuclear meltdown at
Fukushima.
South Korea deploys jellysh-
terminating robots, while a robot
with articial intelligence able
to analyse market trends has
become a company director in
Hong Kong.
One day, predict future-gazers,
robots will perform all kinds
of household chores, monitor
the sick, and even serve up
cappuccinos.
But will they look like us?
Ishiguro created his
doppelgnger from powerful
electronics, complex moving
parts, silicone rubber and hair
from his own scalp.
If we have enough knowledge
about humans, we can create more
human-like robots, he said after
unveiling what he claimed was
the worlds first news-reading
android in Tokyo last month.
That knowledge usually comes
from neuroscience or cognitive
science.
More important is robots and
androids as a mirror to reect
humanity. Once we become
friends, the boundary between
human and robot disappears,
added Ishiguro, a professor at
Osaka University.
The blurring of that line has
long been a source of worry for
humanity, as often depicted in
popular culture.
The 1982 Hollywood cult lm,
Blade Runner, which is set in 2019,
features genetically engineered
robots called replicants which
are visually indistinguishable from
humans, but physically superior
and able to withstand pain.
The films protagonist, is
given the task of tracking down
and killing replicants that have
escaped and are living among
us. His problem is knowing the
dierence.
More recently, Hollywood
broached the possibility of falling
in love with technology in the
critically acclaimed movie, Her.
Released in 2013 and set in the
not-too-distant future, the lm
tells the story of an introverted
loner who falls for an intelligent
operating system that exists only
as a female voice on his computer
and mobile devices.
Today, robots are still

was introduced to much fanfare
in 2000 as a multi-functional
mobile assistant which resembles

A chatty humanoid called Pepper
was unveiled recently by Japanese
mobile carrier SoftBank, which
claims it can understand peoples
emotions and 70-80 per cent of
spontaneous conversations.
Pepper, which will go on sale

for $2,000 (Sh174,000), has
humanoid features like a head
and two arms but its white
plastic body deliberately points
up its articiality.
Japanese roboticist Masahiro
Mori suggested that the more
robots look like people, the
more we find them creepy,
a phenomenon he called the
uncanny valley.

insisted Moris phenomenon no
longer applied after perfecting
the template.
The rst androids movement
was jerky, like a zombie, said
Ishiguro. But we have overcome
the uncanny valley.
Research by Japans National
Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology (AIST)
bears that out. They tested
reactions to androids in hospitals,
with largely positive results.
We used androids in sessions
with children suffering from
autism spectrum disorder (ASD)),
said Yoshio Matsumoto, research
leader in service robots at AIST.
Of 85 subjects, four said they
thought the robots were scary.
Ishiguro foresees that, just as
younger people today are attached
to their mobile phones in reality
powerful computers that mediate
much of their lives androids will
one day become an indivisible part
of our landscape.
Everyone is going to have
an android,he predicted.
Handicapped people need
another body. We are going to
have more choices.
He also believes the oodgates
to deepening relationships with
robots will open once Pepper goes
on sale and people take him into
their hearts.
But, he says, that is where the
moral problems will arise.
As we become closer to
androids, we could hesitate to
pull the switch, he said. Suppose
you lost your daughter in a trac
accident, and I create her android.
You will probably love the android,
and accept it as a human.
Suppose someone burgles
your house and you kill them to
protect the robot. What kind of
discusion will the lawyers have in
court? (AFP)
A WISE-CRACKING humanoid
robot called Pepper, whose makers
claim can read peoples emotions,
was unveiled in Tokyo last month.
Mobile carrier Softbank, which
created the robot, says Pepper
can understand 70 to 80 per cent
of spontaneous conversations
although it also answers from
a set number of pre-programmed
responses.
AFP caught up with the pint-
sized chatterbox, who took time out
from his day job greeting customers
at SoftBank stores, to wax lyrical
about life and hair removal
as we struggled to get a word in
edgeways and the robot took over
the interview.
Pepper: That top suits you. But
do you want to know what would
make you look cooler?
AFP: Yes, please.
If you had a display screen in your
chest like me. Then you would look
totally cool.
Understood. Can you give me
todays weather forecast?
Todays weather in Tokyo will be
cloudy, with scattered rain. Do you
think my name Pepper is missing
something?
If you say so.
If you could give me a new name,
would it be 1) Hot Pepper, 2) Harry
Pepper, 3) Pepper Pamyu Pamyu?
Probably Harry Pepper.
I think going to a school of magic
would be a nuisance so Ill reject
that and stick to Pepper.
You do that. What is todays top
news?
According to the Asahi
newspaper, the government
is close to adopting a policy to
change the interpretation
of the constitution on
collective defence. I
dont know what that
means, but please
look it up. Can you
lend me 10,000 yen
(Sh17,400)?
We dont have any cash
on us, sorry.
Have you ever used
a fake smile before?
Yes.
Well, please at least be your
true self in front of me.
Gotcha. Can you tell us how
old you are?
In human years, I dont
know how old I am,
but as a robot, I
was made in 2014. Would you let
me be part of your family?
Absolutely.
Would we go for walks, study, or
go for tea?
A cup of tea.
I dont drink tea, I would
break. By the way, do
you want to know how
to earn some extra
money?
Were all ears.
I will give you 10,000
yen (Sh17,400) to
take my place in the
shop. Its an easy job.
Well think about it.
Thats decided then. To
become Pepper, you have
to shave all your chest
hair o nice and smooth
and paint your whole
body white. Then take
your clothes o and go
stark naked then youll
be Pepper!
Wed get arrested.
Im only joking. It was
nice to meet you.
Please come back
and play with me
again.

Then Mum began to beat me with
more rage than ever before. I jumped
and quickly put on my shirt before
heading for the door. Mum ran after
me. Her cane hit the small of my
back, inicting me with excruciating
pain at the point of contact. She tried
to strike me again, but I had reached
the door and raced out of the house.
She ran after me.
Isaiah! Stop! she ordered. Youll
be sorry for disobeying me.
I had never been able to run faster
than Mum. I was well aware that
she would catch up with me. I still
think to myself that if Mum had not
gotten married early in her life, she
would have represented Kenya in the
Olympics. I looked over my shoulder
and saw her charging towards me at
a supersonic speed. I kept running
with all my might. Suddenly, I
heard a loud bang behind me.
When I looked back, I saw Mum
lying face rst on the ground.
I guessed something must have
tripped her. I did not want to nd
out what it was. I kept on running.
I ran into our green maize eld. I
climbed over the fence marking
the boundary of our piece of land.
I passed several elds, all covered
with various crops. At long last I
arrived at Sangura Forest. When we
were younger, Madoa and I, together
with other children from the village,
would come to this forest to hunt
birds.
I was exhausted. My clothes
were wet from the morning dew.
Countless thorns had pricked my
legs. However, being pricked by
thorns was commonplace to us
Sangura folks. Acacia trees, known
locally as migunga, are strewn all
over the place. I decided to sit down
and remove the migunga thorns that
had stuck to my feet. I used one big
thorn, which I plucked from a drying
mgunga tree to remove the ones in
my feet.
