enya’s fertility rate has been on a steady decline, falling from an average of 8.1 children per woman in the 1970s to only 3.9 per woman last year, shows the latest demographic and health survey released yesterday.

Incidentally, surveys conducted between 1977 and 1983 did not include women in northern Kenya and the drier parts of eastern and Rift Valley regions.

According to the latest survey, northeastern Kenya has the highest fertility rate in Kenya, with women in Wajir leading nationally with an average of 7.8 children per woman.

Other counties with high fertility rates nationally were West Pokot (7.2), Turkana (6.9) and Samburu (6.3).

“Counties with the higher total fertility rates (TFR) tend to come from arid and semiarid parts of northern Kenya,” says the survey.

On the flipside, Kirinyaga (2.3), Nyeri (2.7), Kiambu (2.7) and Nairobi (2.7) had the low-

Birth control use on the rise Contraceptive prevalence peaks among married women in the 30-34 agegroup and lowest for those in ages 15-19. A higher percentage of urban women (62 per cent) use some method of contraception, compared with their rural counterparts (56 per cent). Contraceptive prevalence increases dramatically with education.

Women with 3-4 children are the most likely to use contraception (66 per cent).

Married women in central region have the highest contraceptive prevalence rate (73 per cent) followed by eastern region (70 per cent). Contraceptive use is lowest in the northeastern region (three per cent).

est fertility rates nationally.

Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia, who launched the survey in Nairobi, said TFR is a key indicator in the future health planning programmes.

Said Mr Macharia: “More women are opting for fewer children whom they can comfortably manage and provide for.”

On average, fertility rates remained relatively higher among women living in rural areas and among those with low levels of education or no education at all. Women from poor families

However, about two in 10 married women, especially those who live in rural areas and have little or no education, have an unmet need for family planning. That is, they would like to postpone their next birth or stop childbearing but are not on a contraceptive method.

Interestingly, 32 per cent of married women would like to delay their next birth for two years or more, and 47 per cent do not want to have any more children. While another 13 per cent would like to have a child within two years.

Three per cent of women are undecided, while one per cent want to have another child but are unable because of being infertile.

also recorded higher birthrates compared to their counterparts from wealthier families, with fertility rates being lowest among women from the richest families.

In rural areas, women aged between 19 and 49 years were likely to have 6.4 children, whereas their counterparts in towns were likely to have six children.

Among those aged 40 to 49 years, rural women had an average of 5.6 children compared to 3.9 for their urban counterparts. That means rural women

Planning PS Peter Mangiti (right) and US ambassador Robert Godec at the launch of the 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey at the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi yesterday. were likely to have six children compared to four for those living in towns. Nationally, rural women had an average 4.5 children compared to 3.1 for those in towns.

“Women from households in the lowest wealth quintile (any of five equal groups) have a TFR that is more than twice that of women from the highest quintile,” says the survey.

Nationally, women from the poorest families were found to have an average of 6.4 children although those aged 19 to 49 had an exceptionally higher fertility rate at an average of

9.4 children each. Women in the second wealth quintile had a lower average of 4.7 children each while those in the middle had a slightly lower average of 3.8 children each. Those from families in the fourth quintile had an average of 3.1 children, compared to women from the wealthiest families who had, on average, 2.8 children each.

Generally, according to the survey, women below the age of 40 had a higher fertility rate compared to those aged between 40 and 49.

“Fifteen per cent of women age 15-19 have already had a birth, while 18 per cent have begun childbearing,” says the report, meaning that the teenagers had either given birth or were pregnant with their first child when the survey was conducted last year.

“Prevalence of early childbearing is highest in the Nyanza region followed by Rift Valley and Coast; it is lowest in central and northeastern region,” says the survey.

Director of Medical Services Nicholas Muraguri attributed the decline in fertility rates to the considerable use of family planning among married women, which is at 58 per cent and 65 per cent among sexually active unmarried women.

HOW THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED The 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey was conducted by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics between May and October 2014.

It was carried out in partnership with several stakeholders including the Ministry of Health, the National Aids Control Council, the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD), and the Kenya Medical Research Institute.

The survey collected information from 40,300 households and the questionnaires were translated in 16 languages. The respondents included women aged between 15 and 49 and men aged between 15 and 54,

who are residents or visitors in the selected households. As part of the survey, all children aged six years and under were measured for height and weight.

The study was funded by both the government and development partners at a cost of Sh754 million.

It is the sixth such survey since the first was conducted in 1989. The survey is conducted every five years.

The latest findings provide health information for each of the 47 counties, including information on fertility, family planning methods, childhood survival, HIV, malaria, domestic violence, fistula and female circumcision.

hild survival in Kenya has improved significantly, with the deaths of children under five years declining to 52 for every 1,000 births last year, down from 74 in 2008-2009.

This means that one in every 19 children born in the past year died before their fifth birthday.

However, basic vaccination has also declined since 2008-2009, from 77 per cent to 71 per cent in 2014.

Mandera, Migori and Wajir had the lowest vaccination coverage.

At the same time, counties with the highest vaccination were Nandi (94 per cent), Vihiga (91 per cent) and Tharaka-Nithi (91 per cent).

Notably, about two per cent of children from the 40,300 homesteads used for the survey had not received any vaccines since birth.

Children who had received their first vaccination had also not been taken for subsequent ones.

This is attributed to the mothers’ education level. Children of mothers with at least some education are more likely to receive each of the recommended vaccinations. Mothers with secondary school level education are likely to ensure their children get full immunisation.

The number of children fully vaccinated in northern Kenya stood at 42 per cent and 60 per cent in Nairobi while the coverage is close to 78 per cent for children in central and eastern regions.

The six-month survey also revealed that malnutrition places children at increased risk of illness and death, and also impaired mental development.

About 11 per cent of Kenyan children are underweight , with two per cent classified as severely

This chronic malnutrition, which leads to stunted growth, however, has decreased by about nine per cent, says Director of Medical Services Nicholas Muraguri.

“In 2014, about two to three in 10 children under five were stunted, this is a decrease from 35 per cent. In addition, underweights also decreased from 16 per cent in 2008/2009 to 11 per cent in this survey.”

The underweight problem is slightly higher among boys (12 per cent) than girls (10 per cent), and for rural children (13 per cent) than urban children (seven per cent).

Among children under two years, exclusive breastfeeding has been lauded as reducing the risk of death.

The survey found that about 61 per cent of children less than six months are exclusively breastfed, an increase from 32 per cent in the 2008-09 study. “Breast milk contains all the nutrients children need in the first six months of life, these figures confirm that,” said Dr Muraguri.

However, the 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey found that about 15 per cent of children under six months are fed foods, water, other milk and non-milk liquids.

On maternal health, the survey reported an increase in the number of mothers seeking maternal care, from 88 to 96 per cent. It further notes that women in urban areas have more access to antenatal care.

per cent of the respondents saying they had been assaulted, the 2014 Kenya Demographic survey says.

Those in the middle income bracket reported the highest number of domestic violence cases at 11.6 per cent — or 496 men out of 2,890 interviewed. They were followed by those at the bottom of the income ladder (9.5 per cent).

Divorced, separated or widowed men reported the highest number of cases. They were followed by men who had been married more than once.

Only 7.1 per cent of those who were living with their spouses reported sexual or physical violence.

Those who had been married only once had the lowest number of cases compared to those who had been married two or more times.

Men who had not completed primary education reported the highest cases of violence at nine per cent and were followed by those who had completed primary and secondary education at 8.6 and 8.7 per cent respectively.

Of those with secondary education and above, 1,150 men said they had sexual or physical violence from their partners at one point in their lives or in the 12 months before they were interviewed.

Men in Western, Nyanza, Nairobi and Rift Valley regions reported the highest levels of violence compared to their counterparts from other regions.

For instance, 655 men from the Rift Valley reported they had been beaten compared to only 42 in North Eastern, which had the fewest cases.

The respondents, both men and women, were asked whether their current or most recent spouse/part-

ner ever physically harmed them by pushing, slapping, punching, kicking or trying to strangle or burn them or threatening them with a weapon.

They were also asked if their spouse/partner had ever physically forced them to have sexual intercourse or perform other sexual acts when they did not want to.

“Because of the sensitivity of these questions, if there was more than one eligible respondent in the household, the domestic violence section was administered to only one, randomly selected respondent,” the survey says. When this happened, the respondent was questioned in the absence of the spouse and the information was treated with confidentiality.

Level of education

On the whole, more women than men said they were violently abused.

About four in 10 women said they were physically or sexually violated by their husband or partner and about three said this took place in the 12 months before the survey.

Among those who were married at the time of the survey, both women and men who had married more than once were more likely to have been victims of violence than those who had been married only once.

Women and men with incomplete primary level of education were more likely to have been physically assaulted.

The survey further noted that sexual violence committed by a partner was not as prevalent as physical violence.

Among women, those aged between 30 and 49 years had experienced the highest number of cases either in their lifetime or in the last 12 months before the survey. Teenagers reported the fewest cases.

GARISSA ATTACK Terror at dawn

AUDIT | Figures released by Cabinet secretaries conflict with those from dons and students

Confusion over number of missing varsity students Education ministry says all students have been accounted for as Uasu claims 160 cannot be found after terrorist raid

BY NATION TEAM

newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com

C

ontroversy erupted yesterday over the actual death and injury list of students from last week’s Garissa University College terror attack.

Claims by the University Academic Staff Union (Uasu) that 160 students, more than the 142 acknowledged to have been killed in the raid, remained unaccounted for nearly a week after the raid, were immediately discounted by the university and government.

The government, however, gave conflicting figures of students said to have been rescued or believed to have escaped from the attackers, adding fuel to the speculation about the actual toll of the Al-Shabaab massacre.

Already, the government has been criticised for its poor handling of grieving parents who have been camping at the Chiromo mortuary in Nairobi for a week now.

To add to the general confusion, Moi University Students Organisation (Muso) secretary-general, Mr Titus Safari, said 59 of his colleagues had not been accounted for.

Defence Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo, addressing the press in the company of a large group of Cabinet secretaries, said 613 students had been rescued, along with 50 staff of the university. Since it is already established that 142 students were killed and 815 were enrolled at the college, this would raise troubling questions about the whereabouts of some 60 students unless they had left the campus before the attack which was carried out on the eve of the Easter weekend.

The Ministry of Education issued a further statement last evening in which the number of students rescued was revised to 663, leaving 10 unaccounted for.

On its part, Moi University announced that 646 students of Garissa are to be admitted to the university’s main campus in Eldoret. It is assumed that the 646 survived the attack, giving a slightly different picture from the conflicting ones provided by the government. It is not clear where, going by the university’s own accounting, 27 students are since 815 were enrolled and 142 confirmed killed.

According to the student union’s math, the student population of Garissa was 847, and not the 815 given by the government and the university administration.

Out of those, 142 were killed and 646 — including the 106 they claimed were in hospital were accounted for — leaving 59 to be accounted for.

First Lady Margaret Kenyatta with Kenya Red Cross boss Abass Gullet (left) and Education PS Belio Kipsang (right) when she toured the Chiromo Mortuary in Nairobi yesterday to assess the progress made in identifying the bodies of victims of the Garissa University College terrorist attack.

K’olale, addressing the press in Nairobi, asked the government to find out where the missing students are.

“Let the government tell us on the whereabouts of the 160 students who are unaccounted for. They could have been kidnapped for all we know. We are doing our maths, considering the university had 850 students, we do not know where students in excess of 100 are, ” he said.

However, Garissa University College Dean of Students Jacktone Kweya Opande said the figures the union had given were wrong.

“How did the union come up with that figure? It is not correct,” he said but did not say how many students were in the university at the time of the attack.

On the other hand, the government yesterday announced that 128 out of 142 bodies had been identified.

Dr Omamo said the identification had been done through fingerprint matching overseen by 25 government

pathologists.

“All post mortems have been done as required and the temporary crisis centre at Nyayo National Stadium has been closed. The remaining services have been transferred to Chiromo,” she said at a press briefing at Harambee House.

She was accompanied by other members of an inter-ministerial team which included Attorney General Githu Muigai, CSs Amina Mohamed (Foreign affairs), Phylis Kandie (Tourism), Anne Waiguru (Devolution), Judi Wakhungu (Environment), Najib Balala (Mining), Ali Wario (Sports), Jacob Kaimenyi (Education), Fred Matiang’i (ICT), James Macharia (Health), Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua and National Treasury PS Kamau Thugge, among others.

She said each family would be given Sh100,000 by Garissa University College as support and funeral expenses met by the government.

The officials of two Mombasabased human rights NGOs whose accounts were frozen by the government for alleged association with Al-Shabaab have denied any such links and described their black-listing as a witch-hunt.

Muslims for Human Rights Group (Muhuri) and Haki Africa directors denied financing terrorism activities or any links with AlShabaab or any other terrorist organisations.

Muhuri’s board chairperson Khelef Khalifa and Haki Africa’s director Hussein Khalid have said they will move to court to challenge the government’s action.

Mr Khalifa invited the government to inspect its books and said the Danish Royal Embassy, the Ford Foundation are among their donors.

“The number of fatalities constituted 65 female and 77 male students.

The number of students rescued was 613 and 50 members of staff,” said Ms Omamo.

AG: We will hold talks on police recruits

BY NATION REPORTER Attorney-General Githu Muigai says the government will hold talks with the Independent Policing Oversight Authority over the directive on 10,000 police recruits reporting for training.

He was speaking to journalists at Harambee House yesterday.

“The talks will involve the Police Service commission, InspectorGeneral of Police, the State Law Office and Ipoa. We want to find a way of fast-tracking the recruitment in a manner consistent with the directive of President Kenyatta,” Prof Muigai said.

He said nothing would be done without consultations.

“We should not compromise the directive, which every right thinking Kenyan would concede, was made because of what confronts the nation,” he added.

On Tuesday, Ipoa warned that it would cite IGP Joseph Boinnet for contempt of court after he directed that the recruits report for training on April 12.

Judiciary Public Affairs and Communications Director Naim Bilal also hit at the Executive, saying it was important for courts to be allowed to determine the matter.

by Al-Shabaab bullets at the Garissa University College, where he was called to rescue students.

His brother, Mr Joe Oludo, said he was among soldiers who rushed to the college from the Garissa bridge that had been manning, after receiving a distress call.

“His colleagues told us that they were among the first ones to arrive at the college and that Solomon ran out of bullets and so the Al-Shabaab militants killed him,” he said.

Mr Oludo, 33, was recruited to the KDF in 2009. He was based in Gilgil before being sent to Somalia for the whole of 2012.

“He has been on several peace keeping missions and operations and he was very dedicated to his work” his brother said.

The soldier, who was the 7th born in their family, is survived by a widow and two children; 5 years and 3 months. He will be buried at Maringi in Homa Bay County on April 24.

Peter Masinde, Administration Police constable Peter Masinde, 29, from Butere, Mumias, was deployed to the university three weeks ago and had informed his brother on the last day of March that he was fine.

“He called me on March 31 and said he would be on duty at the university and that the job was easier than what he had been doing,” his brother, Mr Michael Musula, recounted.

The seventh-born in a family of eight children had worked in Garissa for one-and-a-half years.

Mr Musula described his brother as a loyal security officer who loved his job and helped his family members whenever they needed help.

“I can say that he is one of those family members that always has a solution to every problem.

“He would go out of his way to help anyone, even when he did not have enough to offer,” his cousin, Asnas Eshikumo, said.

Benard Tonui, General Service Unit (Recce Squad) corporal When Corporal Benard Kipkemoi Tonui left his Cheleget home in Chepalungu, Bomet County, three weeks ago, he had no idea that it would be his last day to see his wife and four children.

He was killed on Thursday alongside 147 other people he had gone to rescue after AlShabaab terrorists raided the Garissa University College.

The 37 year old was leading a group of officers from Recce Squad to smoke out the terrorists when he was felled.

According to his father, Mr Simeon Sanga, his first-born son who joined the police force in 1997 and was trained for Recce the next year, loved his job and his family.

For his family, it is the second tragedy after they lost another son, Joseph Bett, who was an Administration Police officer, in an almost similar attack by Al-Shabaab in Garissa in October 30, 2012.

GARISSA ATTACK Terror at dawn

INTELLIGENCE | UK defends travel advisory

Envoys ‘told Kenya of possible attack’ However, Foreign Affairs minister denies Nairobi was given any ‘actionable’ tip-off

F

oreign missions in Nairobi say they shared with the Kenya Government intelligence on imminent terrorist attacks.

Some envoys said the information could have been used to avert the killing of 148 people at Garissa University College.

Western diplomats interviewed by the Nation said it was routine to share such information, which also led to the decision by the UK and Australia to revise their travel advisories on some parts of Kenya.

“It is a general practice to exchange information. Sometimes we get it and pass it to Kenyan authorities or other

BACKGROUND

Terrorists killed 148 Last week, terrorists stormed Garissa University College and killed 142 students, three police officers and three members of staff.

Since then, Kenya has had to fight accusations that its response to the siege was wanting and that it ignored information that could have helped to prevent the attack. missions. At times Kenyan authorities pass it to us and other embassies,” said a diplomat, who asked to remain anonymous.

And a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office official told the Nation that their warning to British nationals was based on information from diplomatic reports, media, local knowledge and intelligence

agencies, including Kenyan authorities. “The security assessment leading to travel advice is shared with the Kenyan Government,” the British diplomat said.

The official disputed claims that the UK’s warnings were selective and targeted Kenya, saying London has a duty to advise its citizens “based solely on an objective assessment of the threat against British nationals abroad”.

Refuted claims

BY NATION REPORTER

However, the government refuted claims that it sat on the advice about an imminent attack, saying the information it received was general.

Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed said Kenya did not get any specific and “actionable” information on the Garissa attack.

“The government receives a lot of information that is of a generalised nature and too vague to be acted upon.

“Governments need specific information in order to step up pre-emptive actions,” she said.

John Cardinal Njue consoles the slain students’ relatives at Chiromo Mortuary, Nairobi, yesterday.

The Catholic Church wants religious leaders and teachers in schools and colleges vetted to curb youth radicalisation.

Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops chairman John Cardinal Njue said the institutions and the government should ensure that students are not recruited into subversive groups.

The cardinal also called on parents, guardians and teachers to observe the behaviour of their children.

He urged the government to beef up security and address

“the obvious flaws in the security intelligence system”.

He was speaking yesterday at Chiromo Mortuary, Nairobi, where he had gone to condole with families that lost their loved ones in the Garissa University College attack last week.

“Religious leaders should stop preaching hatred against people who do not subscribe to their religion and doctrines.”

He said everybody has a right to life and freedom of worship and nobody should perceive others as non-believers.

Cardinal Njue called for the

formulation of an emergency response strategy by the government.

“Through the National Youth Service, the government should provide mandatory emergency response training in learning institutions,” he said.

At the same time, relatives of those killed during the Thursday attack continued to wait as the identification of the remaining bodies went on.

Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang said bodies, which had already been identified, were ready for collection from yesterday afternoon.

Workers at new railway on strike Chinese company that won contract accused of underpayment and illtreatment

W

orkers constructing the railway yesterday went on strike over claims of poor pay and ill-treatment by their Chinese bosses.

Drivers, masons, plumbers, and unskilled workers stopped work and sat in a field at Syokimau in Machakos County as Administration Police officers watched from a distance.

The workers claimed the China Road and Bridge Corporation had not fulfilled a promise to improve working conditions.

“We are protesting against underpayment, poor working conditions and mistreatment by the Chinese,” said Mr Isaiah Mathenge, amid cheers from colleagues in blue jackets and trousers embroidered in Mandarin with the company’s insignia.

Take home peanuts

He said the workers had been doing their jobs without protective clothing and the uniform was only issued on Tuesday.

In addition, Mr Mathenge said the workers “take home peanuts”, and cited the case of a laboratory technician who earns Sh58 an hour.

Mr Francis Gichoni, a building technician, claimed the company did not value academic qualifications.

He said he is occasionally summoned to dig trenches and offload trucks yet he is a qualified technician.

A company official at the site played down the complaints, saying he did not understand why

BACKGROUND the workers had gone on strike since “every time they have issues they go to the HR office where the matter is resolved.”

He claimed the firm “pays well compared to other Kenyan companies” and this explained why people kept looking for jobs with them.

He also said it was natural for masons and technicians to be enlisted once in a while to move blocks.

A woman, only identified as Madam Zhang, who is said to be the camp human resources manager, could not be reached for comment.

Although they are unionisable, the workers said they did not join a union imposed on them because they did not trust it.

Mr Mathenge hinted at possible collusion between the union and the company to oppress them.

Uneasy relations between parties This is not the first time the Chinese firm that secured the Sh327 billion project has crossed paths with workers.

In February, more than 1,000 workers at Section 3 camp at Mtito Andei in Makueni County staged a sit-in complaining of heavy-handedness.

CRBC had claimed that drivers, in collusion with other labourers, were siphoning fuel from vehicles and reservoirs.

The workers vowed not to resume work until the company addressed all their grievances.

In a statement, the company said it complied with local labour laws.

In addition, the company gives employees “additional perks that include house allowance, overtime allowance and daily shuttle services to and from work,” the statement said.

It said the company offered personal protection equipment for workers. The statement, however, did not specify what action the company would take to end the strike.

ER EAST !

R! OFFE

A law that has allowed police to arrest and prosecute people on suspicion that they are likely to commit a crime and then bond them to keep peace, has been declared unconstitutional.

High Court Judge Mumbi Ngugi made the ruling in a petition filed by lawyer Boniface Masinde representing six people who were arrested in 2011 and 2013 at Wangige market, Kiambu County, on suspicion of being adherents of the outlawed Mungiki sect.

Justice Ngugi ruled that peace bond provisions were arbitrary and discriminatory. “If one is suspected of having committed a specific crime, then by all means, let him be arrested and charged in court in accordance with the law, with all the rights to which an arrested or accused person are entitled to,” she said.

Likely to commit crime

Judge Ngugi observed that the petitioners, like many others, are arrested first, kept in custody without any charges being levelled against them, on the basis of mere suspicion that they were likely to commit a crime.

“How, one may ask, do the police determine who is likely to commit an offence, and who should, therefore, be taken before the court to be bonded to keep the peace and be of good behaviour?

Is it by one’s dress, their height or weight, their manner of walking, their hair?” asked the judge.

The Attorney-General, Inspector-General of Police and Director of Public Prosecutions had argued that the intention of the peace bond is to prevent commission of crimes.

The MCAs from Bomet had been summoned to the party

The development has further strained the relationship between the DP and Mr Ruto following the latter’s rebellion against his party leader.

The 10 members, nominated

by URP to the assembly, were asked to present themselves before the committee that included Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nandi counterpart Stephen Sang. Party Secretary-General Fred Muteti was also on the team established to question their allegiance.

The session was, however, disrupted after nine of them stormed out , saying they would not face the committee individually. They also asked to be represented by one lawyer as

opposed to appearing alone.

However, the party said it was not possible to question a group because each one of them was facing different allegations.

When they were not given the opportunity to defend themselves as a group, they left the headquarters in a huff. Only one MCA went on to present his case.

Yesterday, Mr Murkomen said the demands by the MCAs were not acceptable as they were required to respond to diverse accusations.

“It is not possible to listen to them as a group,” Mr Murkomen told the Nation yesterday.

They are being accused of not adhering to the party rules and constitution, being rebellious, supporting Governor Ruto, who is opposing the party leader, and plundering devolved resources.

The summons were informed by a petition sent by a section

of Bomet residents who questioned the members’ allegiance to the party.

Bomet County Speaker Geoffrey Kipng’etich said he was aware of the summons but said it was a party matter.

“They were asked to appear before the party and respond to accusations levelled against them. It is matter that will be handled by a team set up by the party,” said Mr Kipng’etich by telephone yesterday.

Mr Murkomen said the MCAs’ actions would be considered by the committee and action, including replacement, would be considered.

“The disciplinary committee will sit again to consider the MCA’s behaviours. It has the powers to recommend dismissal from the party,” he said.

The embattled MCAs agreed

The Director of Public Prosecution has asked a court to cancel bail terms granted to Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria (above) in a case in which he is charged with hate speech and incitement to violence. The court was told he was in contempt of an order that he cease posting hate messages on his social media pages. Senior deputy DPP Nicodemus Maingi told trial Magistrate Enock Cherono that the MP had been violating an agreement pegged on his bond terms by posting on Twitter offensive messages “particularly against the Luo community”.

The court will rule on April 27 whether to cancel his cash bail of Sh2 million.

Teachers protest after salaries delay

BY NATION REPORTER Teachers have protested a delay in the payment of their March salaries. The more than 288,000 teachers normally receive their pay by the 29th of every month.

Teachers Service Commission Secretary Gabriel Lengoiboni yesterday admitted there was a delay in processing salaries due to a technical hitch.

“There was a hitch, but the problem has been corrected and teachers (were) paid their salaries,” Mr Lengoiboni told Nation by telephone.

However, Kenya Union of Post Primary Education (KUPPET) national chairman Omboko Milemba (above) maintained that the delay had affected several teachers across the country.

Mr Milemba lamented that TSC had not communicated to explain what could have caused the delay and was creating unnecessary anxiety among teachers.

“Several teachers are yet to pay their rent as well as other bills. They had not anticipated this and therefore could not plan effectively,” said Mr Milemba.

It is only teachers who get paid through Equity Bank that had their money paid on time since the bank uses its own resources to pay teachers in case of any delay.

The national treasury had then instructed the commission to shift from IFMIS (IBM Informix-based) system to an Oracle-based Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS).

Case against the legislator

angwe MP George Oner Ogalo tampered with original documents for land he was contracted to survey, a court heard yesterday.

Businessman Benson Riitho told the court that the MP made alterations to the 50-acre land, which he then subdivided and sold without consent.

Mr Riitho was giving evidence in a criminal case against Mr Oner (right) at the Milimani Law Courts. He said: “I gave the MP all original title deeds, including money to be paid as tax.”

Magistrate Edda Agade heard that the money given to Mr Oner was never paid to the Kenya Revenue Authority because there was no documentation to prove the payment was made.

Mr Riitho said there were fraudulent transfers of his property in Embakasi Nairobi instigated by the surveyor while he was indisposed.

MP allegedly sold over 150 plots without businessman’s authority. later wrote a letter on December 7, 2011, asking for the original receipts paid to the Kenya Revenue Authority by the accused but he did not get any.

Leaders must be at forefront of battle

L

eaders from northeastern Kenya have boldly come out to condemn and commit themselves to flushing out terrorists and extremists in their midst in the wake of the massacre at Garissa University College last week.

While a community cannot, and should not, be condemned for the wicked among its members, it is patriotic to acknowledge the fact when many among its ranks are linked to criminal activities. An honest assessment of oneself or one’s community is the starting point of dealing with a crisis. The leaders from Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera counties have stated that they will find and expose terrorists among their community as well as their financiers and support networks. This is most commendable, for it is common knowledge that some community institutions have been infiltrated by extremists and been subverted to become recruitment, indoctrination, and training centres for a warped jihadist ideology that is not rooted in the Muslim faith.

This brave acknowledgement and pledge to action should be emulated by leaders in all other places where mosques, madrassas, and other community institutions have been similarly debased.

Governors, MPs, religious, and community leaders must be at the forefront in guiding their impressionable youth away from the clutches of AlShabaab terrorists and any other criminal groups.

This will be the best way to complement wider efforts aimed at removing these malcontents from society. The government, and the security agencies, in turn, must work in tandem with the community leaders who demonstrate that they are committed to eliminating the menace. Cardinal here must be the acknowledgement that communities cannot be condemned wholesale or subjected to ethnic and religious profiling or collective punishment.

Survey to boost varsities

A

fter a gloomy period following the slaughter of more than 140 students of Garissa University College by terrorists, there is some exciting news for the education sector — the results of a survey carried out on which universities’ graduates are most favoured by employers. This is welcome competition between the various institutions to produce the very best for the job market.

There is an interesting mix of old and new universities, public and privately owned universities.

The University of Nairobi, the oldest institution of higher learning in the land, leads the pack. This is not surprising as it has the highest concentration of resources and receives good government funding.

According to the 2015 Quarter One Talent Report, up there with the UoN is the privately owned Strathmore. Kenyatta University and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, both public, and the privately owned Daystar and Catholic University of Eastern Africa, also rank high.

This is the kind of competition needed to ensure that graduates are equipped with the skills to make a difference in the private and public sectors. This will not be possible unless the institutions are secured and the safety of the learners guaranteed.

WHAT OTHERS SAY | Charles Onyango-Obbo

Terrorism wins only if we respond the way it wants us to — we can refuse to A

s we contemplated the meaning of the horrific massacre of more than 140 Garissa University College students

by Al-Shabaab terrorists last Thursday, I sought deeper understanding — especially on ways to deal with terrorism. And that is how I landed on counter-terrorism insights from the Ugandan capital, Kampala.

The week of the Garissa attacks, there had been similar warnings of Shabaab assaults in Uganda. The approach in that country varies slightly from Kenya’s. When there are travel advisories and alerts, the practice is to make a lot of noise about them. And, then, Kampala can look like a war zone. Bwana Yoweri Museveni basically opens all his armouries and floods the streets with guns, armoured cars, and scary-looking men.

Uganda was burnt badly by Shabaab on World Cup finals night in July 2010, with two bomb attacks that killed nearly 80. Shabaab has not been lucky there again — and it is not for lack of trying. The real tragedy of that attack is that Ugandan security forces knew everything, including the houses where the terrorists were staying, but did nothing.

Why? Different security agencies had different pieces of the puzzle. If they had all sat together for just

30 minutes, they would have had the complete picture.

They did not because they were playing politics, each hoping to nip the plot in the bud, take the glory alone, and thus get a bigger share of the security budget. It backfired.

The powers that be put an end to that nonsense. What did they do next? Simple, really, dramatically improve coordination. But Uganda did more, and that is how I learnt of David Fromkin.

Fromkin is a well-regarded author, lawyer, and historian with many influential books under his belt. He is now 82 years old. Apparently his work is the bible of one of the top people in charge of Uganda’s counter-terrorism operations. Fromkin has a book on this matter, but for a quick reference, an article in Foreign Affairs (www.foreign affairs.com) journal, “The Strategy of Terrorism” — wait for it — published in its July 1975 issue, was recommended. It

That is the ultimate weakness of terrorism as a strategy. Though terrorism cannot always be prevented, it can always be defeated”

is 40 years later, but you will not have read anything more insightful on terrorism. He argues that “Revolution, like war, is the strategy of the strong; terrorism is the strategy of the weak”.

Terrorism on its own, he argues, accomplishes nothing. It is the reaction of the public, and in turn, the government’s response, that achieves results. Says Fromkin: “Terrorism wins only if you respond to it in the way that the terrorists want you to; which means that its fate is in your hands and not in theirs. If you… respond in a way different from that which they desire, they will fail to achieve their objectives.

“That is the ultimate weakness of terrorism as a strategy. It means that, though terrorism cannot always be prevented, it can always be defeated. You can always refuse to do what they want you to do.”

Therefore, whether Shabaab succeeds in its goals is entirely in the hands of the Kenyan people and government. It cannot defeat the Kenya Defence Forces in Somalia, but if public opinion at home turns fully against the KDF’s continued presence there and the government buckles and withdraws, then Shabaab wins.

In Algeria in the 1950s, the National Liberation

Front (FLN) wanted independence for Algeria. However Algerian nationalism was virtually non-existent and there was no appetite for kicking the French out.

The large European French community in Algeria and the “natives” were all French. The FLN decided it would dabble in what today would be considered terror methods to force the French to create a distinction between the Europeans (them) and the locals (us).

They hit buses, restaurants, and so forth. When the French security forces came to the scenes of the terrorist attacks, they would round up, hammer, and imprison the “natives” and spare the Europeans.

In their punishment, the French did what the FLN had failed to do — they finally created the distinction in people’s minds that the Europeans were “outsiders” and the indigenous people were a distinct Algerian nation. The path to victory for the FLN was assured. This might be a good background to look at the decision to freeze the accounts of 86 individuals and companies in Kenya, nearly all of them owned by Somalis, for suspected links to Shabaab.

THE CUTTING EDGE

CORRUPTION | Timothy Kaberia

Governors have squandered chance to show they’re not high priests of graft P

resident Kenyatta kicked up a storm when he tabled a list of corruption suspects and asked those mentioned by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to step aside. It was the boldest move against corruption since the days of PLO Lumumba. The President’s action has triggered a desperately needed national conversation over a scourge that has ravaged the country for decades.

Many have dismissed the President’s approach as a public relations stunt. Some read witch-hunt, while others have dismissed it as a game of musical chairs.

The List of Shame comprises senior public officials.

Some governors have sought to distinguish themselves from the rest by acting as if they were above the law. They are demanding to be treated as special suspects. Hiding behind the Constitution, the governors have exhibited a hopeless error of judgement that has blurred their ability to tell that the tide has turned against them. Their argument that the President has no constitutional “mandate” to ask them to step aside is as misplaced as their self-styled projection of themselves as mini presidents in their respective counties. Whereas it is true that the President does not have the constitu-

President Kenyatta asked those on the EACC list to step aside. tional mandate to order them to step aside, he has the moral authority to provide leadership in every county across Kenya.

Further, it is the President’s responsibility to defend Kenyans from both internal and external threats. Currently, one of the biggest internal threats to Kenya’s moral fabric is political and administrative corruption.

Instead of taking the opportunity to prove that they are not the spoilt brats that Kenyans have come to know, some governors have turned themselves into arrogant masters of circumvention. It is ironic that governors are invoking their constitutional hideouts instead of addressing the issue at hand. The question they ought to be addressing is whether or not they are guilty of corrup-

tion.

Governors have been so consumed by self-aggrandisement that they have failed to notice that the President has boxed them into a tight corner. They are oblivious to the fact that extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. The endemic corruption in Kenya is an extraordinary circumstance that can only be fought by extraordinary means. If we declare corruption a national emergency, the President will be at liberty to take actions that border on suspending the Constitution.

Kenyan politicians abuse and mutilate the Constitution with impunity. Now, all of a sudden this document has become the governors’ best friend. The very Constitution they claim to uphold stipulates that public officers, including governors, must abide by the tenets of Chapter Six (on ethics.) The issue at hand is not the constitutionality of the President’s leadership on the fight against corruption but rather ethics and the protection of public resources.

Devolution, which some governors want Kenyans to believe is the real target of President Kenyatta’s purge, has been used by some to create little fiefdoms called counties. Here, the “rulers” reign supreme and do whatever they please. It is wrong

for the central government to use corruption to frustrate devolution just as it is wrong for governors to use devolution to condone corruption.

Corruption becomes worse when the division between public office and private life is blurred. Public office comes with responsibility. Stepping aside is the honourable thing to do In civilised societies leaders leave office when they are implicated in corruption. In 1992 Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez was accused of embezzling public funds and given 90 days to resign. He declined and was impeached by the National Congress and later jailed. In Brazil, former President Fernando Collor de Mello resigned when his brother accused him of corruption. A million Brazilians recently marched in Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro to protest against corruption at the State-run Petro Bras oil firm. Kenya is not an island.

There should be no special treatment for governors. If they lose this opportunity Kenyans may heed Aden Duale’s call to storm their offices and flush them out.

SECURITY | Esmond Shahonya

Better strategies to keep up with terrorists T

errorism poses a threat to Kenya’s economic and socio-political stability. Every attack leaves a sad tale and ripple effects.

Terrorism has exposed a radicalised crowd-sourced conscience that cuts across human professions and diverse backgrounds. Mohammed Atta, one of the terrorists in the September 11, 2001 attack in the US, graduated with a degree in architecture and had a commercial pilot’s licence. It has been established that the Garissa attack was led by a 24-year-old former University of Nairobi law student.

The madness of terrorism has been unpredictable and mind-boggling and has prompted governments to look at the menace from a much broader perspective.

One strategy that can help in defeating the enemy is improvement in military technology and intelligence.

We can learn some lessons from the Americans and the Israelis. The Americans, as victims of terrorist attacks, and their Israeli counterparts both view terrorism from all angles that one can imagine.

ing, smart intelligence, and sophisticated military technology.

Most countries shroud their military technology and intelligence in mystery and secrecy. Any war or intelligencerelated activity is a secret weapon. For Kenya to be at the top of its game in the war against terrorism, more needs to be done in the field of intelligence and military technology.

Terrorist cells and operatives use modern technology in their murderous missions. The masterminds of the World Trade Centre attack are said to have used internet chats to coordinate the attack and communicate with the hijackers.

Ramzi Yousuf, one of the terrorists, was an electrical engineer who used sophisticated encryptions to protect his data and communications. And that is where the challenge arises for Kenyan law enforc-

ers. The tech-savvy criminals cover their tracks in the digital world such that it might take a lot of manpower and expertise to track them down.

The challenges are real for the police force. As technology evolves to become a core part of human life, the issue of unravelling complex crimes with Stone Age tools will not bear useful results. Retrieving data from a wide range of modern consumer devices is becoming part of the vital technical skills for fighting crime.

The burden of proof that comes along with modern technology lies in getting the facts and data correctly.

Tampering with evidence is often associated with corruption. Rather, it is related to the way investigators handle a crime scene, in an archaic and outdated manner and in the process compromising the evidence. Getting it right requires that security officers know the latest trends in surveillance technology and their associated shortcomings. Empowering our policemen and army people in the technical aspect of investigations must go hand in hand with providing them with modern gadgets for monitoring and assessing the information they receive. This will help them unravel crime quickly and nip impending attacks in the bud.

BY THE WATCHMAN NOT A SOLUTION. Withdrawing Kenyan soldiers from Somalia would be counterproductive, warns Michael Mburu. Should KDF leave before wiping out Al-Shabaab, he adds, the number of militants will increase and they “will cross the border in droves and come to harm us”. According to him, it would be like giving a patient antibiotics and stopping before the dose is completed. “The remaining bacteria will multiply fast. The solution is to plan an exit strategy so that we don’t always have to deal with an open-ended situation.” His contact is mburumk@yahoo.com.

TOO LATE. News that the Kenyan military destroyed Al-Shabaab camps in Somalia several days after the slaughter of nearly 150 students of Garissa University College is not very helpful. According to Benjamin Ashuma, this only implies that the KDF “probably already had information on where the terrorists were hiding. Why didn’t they bomb them before they inflicted so much harm on Kenyans?”

As a long-term measure, Benjamin says, a course on terrorism should be taught in schools. His contact is xbenjy@gmail.com.

PROACTIVE ACTION. When will the authorities learn to get their priorities right? asks Joe Ngige Mungai, wondering why Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Internal Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery had to be flown to Garissa first following the attack on the university instead of the Recce squad from the General Service Unit. He wonders why there is no airstrip at the Recce squad headquarters to enable their swift movement during emergencies.

“Let’s prioritise proactive actions.” His contact is mungai6969@gmail.com.

FIGHT BACK. The best strategy to deal with terrorists once under siege is to use any means available to fight back as they are unlikely to heed pleas for mercy, Ernest Moturi advises. Saddened by the slaughter of “our people like chickens”, Ernest says terrorists are not like robbers, who will let one go if one cooperates and hands over valuables. “The terrorists, who are ready to die, are only after your life and will take it, anyway. Fight back with whatever is available so that you disorganise and make them waste their bullets.”

PRACTICAL. As Nairobi City County authorities and motorists grapple with the consequences of the decision to remove roundabouts in an effort to clear the endemic traffic jams, Narendra Rajani says practical solutions are needed. One, he adds, lies in the Southern Bypass that is still under construction, and which is expected to be completed in the next two months. “The road is passable and with some control, should be opened so that all the heavy trucks are diverted there to enable work at the roundabouts to be done.” His contact is nmrkenya@gmail.com.

PLANNING DEFICIT. The haphazard implementation of the decision to knock out roundabouts is proof that “city planning is either non-existent or moribund”, notes Ben Njenga. This, he adds, is the “root cause of the costly and stressful traffic jams” in the metropolis.

He poses: “But even as they remove the roundabouts, has someone done a computer simulation of the traffic flow with and without the roundabouts to justify this?” The removal of roundabouts, he warns, “could actually just exacerbate the traffic jams”. His contact is bnjenga77@gmail.com.

To the editor Alliance over digital channels suspicious The recent digital migration war reminded me of the tragedy of the commons economic theory by Garrett Hardin. The tragedy of the commons occurs when individuals neglect the wellbeing of the group in favour of the pursuit of personal gain.

It is tragic that the Communications Authority tilted the migration rules in favour of the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation and Signet, a Chinese firm. This duopoly can compromise media freedom. Kenyans should be wary of this unholy alliance.

End mistreatment of albinos, they are human Albinos suffer in East Africa due to discrimination. They live in fear of being kidnapped or sold to be killed and their body parts used in witchcraft rituals. All because of ignorance about the condition of people living with albinism. Albinism is not a disability; it is a disorder, but it does not make one less human or able.

Albinos are just like everybody else, except that their bodies do not have colour. Let us end our ignorance about albinism and support those living with the condition.

The government needs to streamline the tendering process. If officials are found to have corruptly interfered with the tendering process, they should be dealt with according to the law. We should deal with corruption.

TALKING POINT

This is a home-bred problem, so the solution can only be found among us

W

e are all appalled at the brutality of the attack on Garissa University College. That religion is being used to justify these evil actions is incomprehensible. I do not know of any religion that condones the extermination of innocent people.

Terrorism is the work of death merchants, not people who believe in religion.

What is even more worrying is emerging details that point to the fact that these heinous attacks were planned, funded, and carried out by Kenyans or with the help of Kenyans.

Kenya has had its share of socio-economic problems and the endemic culture of corruption has made it easy for perpetrators of violence to flourish. The solution lies in cracking down on bad elements and addressing the factors that make joining terrorist groups attractive for young people.

We also have to acknowledge that the face of terrorism is changing.

Well-educated young people from comfortable homes are joining the ranks of Al-Shabaab. It shows that these groups are becoming increasing sophisticated and are actively absorbing and broadening their knowledge, skills, command, and ability. We need to look in our society to find the solution to ending terrorism.

Kenyans are rightly suspicious about the motives behind this announcement. Was it just a face-saving manoeuvre?

It is telling that some youths disappeared more than a year ago, yet their parents have never reported them missing. It is only now when Kenyans are asking hard questions that these families are revealing the level of radicalisation among their children.

BAD DEAL The National Hospital Insurance Fund had said that with effect from April 1, employers would be required to deduct contributions from members. However, the kind of services they offer on their list of hospitals is wanting. It is worse for civil servants since most estate clinics on the NHIF list do not offer many services and at times lack drugs. Moreover, the requirement is that you can only choose one facility and woe unto you if you fall ill while out of your coverage area. People should be allowed to choose.

CAROLE NYAGA, Nairobi

Asian infrastructure bank to help Kenya achieve its goals China’s grand plan to launch the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has been in the news in recent weeks.

The $100 billion multinational financial institution conceptualised by Chinese President Xi Jinping in October 2013 and launched towards the end of 2014 has aroused interest around the world.

China has been a leading partner in the area of infrastructure for many years.

The bank will have the advantage of Chinese experience and strong funding. Asia will benefit in terms of financing, while the investors will get a handsome return. The bank will benefit all countries in the world.

Several Western countries have defied pressure and signed up to become founding members of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. These include UK, Germany, France, and Australia.

Kenya and Africa in general are working hard to improve their infrastructure.

They have had tremendous support from China to achieve this in the form of technology transfer and funding, although local media have expressed concern about the resultant debt.

Kenya hopes that infrastructure development will spur economic growth. Infrastructure is one of the pillars of Vision 2030, Kenya’s development blueprint.

RESPONSIBILITY: Schools close this week for the April holidays. To many parents, this is a nightmare because children at home means trouble. Many complain that their children are troublesome, eat too much, engage in unhealthy relationships, and refuse to help around the house. This begs the question whether today’s parents are willing to accept their parental responsibilities. It is worrying that parents complain about their role in their children’s lives. They have transferred their responsibilities to schools and teachers. Parents must remember that they are their children’s primary caregivers.

PROMISE: Almost two years ago the government, through no less than Deputy President William Ruto, promised that the Daraja Sita-Labotiet road in Bomet County would be tarmacked. Work on the road that snakes from Konoin, through Sotik and Chepalungu constituencies, was to begin in earnest.

However, residents’ hopes are dimming because the work has yet to begin. Recently, when Mr Ruto visited Kapkatet, the road was not even mentioned. The government should keep its promise.

NICHOLAS CHERUIYOT, Bomet TRAFFIC JAM: Mombasa road users on Tuesday woke up to one of the worst traffic snarl-ups in recent history in Nairobi. The nightmare was all courtesy of the City County Government’s initiative to ease traffic by removing roundabouts on Uhuru highway. Why can’t City Hall build overpasses at the Bunyala/ Nyayo Stadium roundabout? I remember a promise during Mr Mwai Kibaki’s regime that the road would be built to eliminate the roundabouts. What happened to the plans?

BUDGET | Treasury defends allocation to Devolution ministry

Senators want NYS cash sent to counties Devolution ministry should not control the Sh6.3 billion allocation, they tell Treasury PS

REACTION

State seeks to retain funds

BY DENNIS ODUNGA @dennis_odunga dodunga@ke.nationmedia.com

A

group of senators have questioned a proposal to retain a Sh6.3 billion budgetary allocation for the National Youth Service at the Devolution ministry.

The senators want the funds set aside in the proposed 2015/16 Budget channelled to county governments, saying NYS personnel would be undertaking county functions.

They are also worried that some counties may suffer discrimination should the discretion on use of the funds be left with the Devolution Cabinet secretary.

“The governors should be in control of the funds. They can release the funds when the youths go to their counties to undertake projects,” said Dr

“Training falls under the National Government and that is what NYS does. I don’t see why the money should go to county governments.”

position.

“If the money will be used to construct water pans and dams, why leave the discretion to the national government to decide where to undertake the training?” Mr Kilonzo said yesterday during a public session at County Hall, Nairobi.

He said the Constitution requires that NYS trainees be picked in the counties, hence the funds should be managed by the county governments for easy coordination.

The government was yesterday accused of under-funding medical services in counties.

Kisii Governor James Ong’wae said county public hospitals required funds to help decongest Kenyatta National and Moi Teaching and Referral hospitals.

Mr Ong’wae who speaking at the public hearing in the Division of Revenue Bill at County Hall in Nairobi, said the funds allocated to county hospitals were also not equitably distributed.

County public hospitals have been allocated Sh2 billion this financial year against last financial year’s Sh1.87 billion.

Training needs

Treasury Principal Secretary Kamau Thugge said the funds were for training of the NYS, which falls under the national government.

“I don’t see why the money should go to county governments,” said Dr Thugge.

He said it would be upon the Devolution ministry to come up with an equitable way of utilising the funds to meet the national expectations.

Last September, President Kenyatta presided over the relaunch of NYS, whose training scope has been expanded to include self-reliance skills.

Businessman and a politician John Keen when he appeared before the Parliamentary Lands Committee in Nairobi yesterday over the Kibarani land in Kilifi county. The former assistant minister could not provide documents to prove ownership of the 10,000 acre land currently occupied by squatters, saying that the douments are in the custody of the Lands ministry.

Some Sh4.5 billion and Sh4.2 billion will be spent on leasing medical equipment and free maternal healthcare at the county hospitals respectively.

Mr Mutahi Kagwe (Nyeri, Narc) said governors from counties with Level Five hospitals may not deliver the required health care because of the meagre resources allocated to the hospitals.

He wondered why Treasury was allocating inadequate funds yet it had done the costing and arrived at Sh10.5 billion as the required amount to run them.

Kiambu | Governor has remained unfazed by leaders’ impeachment threats

Kabogo gets ultimatum over county head office Legislators give him three months to relocate to Kiambu from Thika or else ...

BY ERIC WAINAINA @EWainaina ewainaina@ke.nationmedia.com

T

he rift between Governor William Kabogo and members of Parliament in the county has widened after the legislators gave him three months to return the region’s headquarters to Kiambu town and lower levies taxed on traders or face impeachment.

The leaders who crisscrossed the county in a caravan said they have unsuccessfully pleaded with the Governor over the issues and the only option was to send him home through signatures, a plot they unanimously vowed to implement.

MPs Alice Ng’an’ga (Thika), Jude Njomo (Kiambu Town) Francis Waititu ( Juja), John Kiragu (Limuru) and Kimani Ichung’wa (Kikuyu) spoke after accompanying former Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu to take his nominations certificates for the Kabete by-election on Tuesday evening.

Mr Waititu who has joined the governor’s critics said they have agreed to start collecting the signatures if the demand is not met at the expiry of the ultimatum.

“I am giving him until July to return the offices to Kiambu town and reduce the rates failure to which, I will lead in collection of signatures to send him home. That will be the only way to deal with his arrogance and hard-headedness,” said the Kabete JAP flag-bearer, a ticket that makes him a favourite in the race for the Kabete parliamentary seat.

Ms Ng’an’ga said the two years set in the constitutions to allow the electorate to impeach their respective governors had elapsed and Mr Kabogo should prepare for a political storm.

Despite her constituency hosting the county headquarters, Ms Ng’an’ga said the Governor should respect the will of the people and relocate to Kiambu in the next two months.

He should also listen to the plea of the traders who are burdened by punitive rates, she said.

“Apart from returning the offices here (Kiambu), he should also talk to MCAs, many of who went to bed with him to lower the rates.

if he does not toe the line, he better be prepared to go home because enough is enough,” Ms Ng’an’ga said at a stopover in Kiambu town.

On Tuesday, traders in Ruiru, Juja, Thika, Limuru and Kabete protested against what they termed as high levies introduced at the beginning of this year.

Mr Njomo, who is the chairman of the county MPs caucus, said the delayed renovation of the county offices which started in April 2013 was questionable.

“Since then (April 2013), there are storey buildings that have been constructed from the ground and completed but renovation of offices for the county, which does not have financial problems, is still going on,” said Mr Njomo.

Kiambu is the county’s gazetted headquarters but after being sworn in, Mr Kabogo declined to occupy the defunct Kiambu Municipal Council offices citing deplorable conditions.

He moved to Thika Town and asked for six months to have the Kiambu offices renovated but the deadline elapsed in October 2013 but the work was uncompleted.

Kiambu Town MCA James Njenga said he was drafting a motion which he intends to table in the County Assembly to compel the governor to move back to Kiambu.

“The signals he has been sending is that he does not want to come. Its very unfortunate that as head of the county, he is showing us a leadership of defiance,” Mr Njenga said.

This is not the first time the MPs are threatening to impeach Mr Kabogo, declaring that they will attain their objective as any further delay would be costly to the county.

Mr Kabogo has repeatedly maintained that he was not scared by the impeachment threats, declaring that the electorate whose signatures the MPs want to collect were conversant with his development record.

He spoke during the swearing-in of county executive for

Youth and Gender Joy Karui on Tuesday.

He said the anti-corruption officers were provided with all documents on the transactions.

“When I got an official car, the government serviced my private vehicle to restore it to its original condition. This is why I am being accused of corruption,” he said.

Mr Munya argued that most governors used their private cars for official duties after the elections yet he was the only one indicted.

“I was named because there are people fighting me politically. Political enemies have realised that my good work is drawing attention and are trying to soil my name,” he said.

The governor said he was not shaken by the corruption claims.

He further disputed allegations that he was involved in corruption as MP for Tigania East, saying his development record in the constituency is unrivalled.

Mr Munya said he would not step aside over the corruption claims.

KENYA SANITATION AND HYGIENE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME (K-SHIP) REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Kenya has for the first time received a grant from the Global Sanitation Fund (GSF), administered

by Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) to implement the Kenya Sanitation and Hygiene Improvement Programme (K-SHIP). The Programme’s main objective is to support the country to attain sustainable access to basic sanitation as well as adopting appropriate hygiene practices.

At the national level, the programme will be given oversight by the Programme Coordinating Mechanism (PCM), an independent body comprising of members from the Ministry of Health, and the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector. This Programme is being rolled out in 11 counties and in the following specific Sub-counties; Kinango in Kwale, Tharaka South in Tharaka Nithi , Naivasha in Nakuru, Narok South in Narok, South Mugirango in Kisii, Samia in Busia, Mbeere North in Embu, Gatanga in Muranga, Turbo in Uasin-Gishu , Kuria West in Migori counties and Wajir Central in Wajir To facilitate the implementation of the programme, African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) Kenya was awarded the Executing Agency (EA) role. In consultation with the PCM, AMREF Kenya is putting up a call for Request for Proposals (RFP) to eligible organizations that will be sub-granted to implement priority components in target counties.

The main programme components include: 1. Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion: a) Mapping out communities at different levels of sanitation and appropriate interventions implemented in line with CLTS (Community Lead Total Sanitation) processes. b) Emphasis on hygiene promotion on behavior change focusing on: consistent use of latrines; hand washing with soap and safety of drinking water. c) Promotion of sanitation and hygiene awareness through schools with children as change agents..

2. Equity & Inclusion: a) Address sanitation and hygiene from a rights based approach (RBA) while also addressing inequities in society. This will address inequities in sanitation based on gender needs, vulnerability based on physical disability, age and illnesses including chronic illnesses and infection where discrimination and stigmatization features. The programme will also support the communities in reaching the most vulnerable including orphans and the needy in society.

3. Sanitation Marketing a) Promotion of affordable sanitation technologies and options that are acceptable within the target communities. b) Develop necessary linkages for sanitation products among suppliers and consumers, all the while strengthening the supply chains hence lowering the cost of sanitation hardware. c) Conduct campaigns and other activities aimed at promoting sanitation and assisting communities to move up the sanitation ladder.

AMREF Kenya invites organizations with at least 3 years experience in implementing sanitation and hygiene programmes/projects in the above priority areas to submit a 2 year technical proposal, a budget and a work-plan for consideration for funding to implement activities under the Kenya Sanitation and Hygiene Improvement programme.

Construction of a Sh1.2 billion bridge in Budalang’i that was promised by President Uhuru Kenyatta starts next month, area MP Ababu Namwamba (above) said yesterday. He said the bridge would greatly improve trade in the area. President Kenyatta promised residents that the bridge would be built when he toured the area last year. “Bunyala South is the food basket of Busia County. The bridge will open up more markets for farmers,” Mr Namwamba said. Residents said the bridge will make it easier to cross into Uganda to do business.

“The bridge will connect Kenya to Uganda and curb cases of drowning in the River Nzoia,” said a trader, Ms Mary Onyango.

Embu | Speaker rejects debate on document

MCA demands probe into funds scam claim Ward rep wants county accounts frozen over illegal withdrawals

BY CHARLES WANYORO @CWanyoroh charlwanyoro@yahoo.co.uk

A

ward representative has asked the anti-corruption commission to investigate the Embu county government over illegal withdrawal of public funds.

Budget and Appropriations Committee chairman Joseph Mwaniki claims the county government fraudulently withdrew and spent the money on April 1.

Mr Mwaniki wants Embu County Revenue Fund to be frozen to stop further unauthorised withdrawal of public revenue until corrective measures are taken to safeguard the county budget.

In a personal petition that he read in the chambers yesterday, the Mavuria MCA

wants Governor Martin Wambora, Finance executive member, finance chief officer and county executive tender committee to be made to account for all the alleged unauthorised withdrawals.

Mr Mwaniki claimed funds were withdrawn from the

10

Months county is accused of making illegal withdrawals

‘‘

There is widespread looting, unplanned expenditure and withdrawals” Mavuria MCA Joseph Mwaniki

County Revenue Fund between last July and April this year for services and purposes not authorised by any law.

He has written to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate the alleged illegal withdrawals.

“As a result there is widespread looting, unplanned expenditure and withdrawals from the revenue made even when projects have not been implemented, withdrawals made but funds diverted to other projects, and haphazard variation of project costs after tenders have been advertised,” he says.

The MCA also wants the county executive bank account held at Cooperative Bank, Embu Branch, to be frozen until the EACC ascertains that all payments made from it are lawful.

However, Speaker Kariuki Mate stopped MCAs from debating the document because it is a personal petition.

He said in case there would be anything to answer arising from the document, it would be Mr Mwaniki’s individual responsibility.

A man uses a wheelbarrow to shield himself during a heavy downpour yesterday in Meru Town. Many parts of the country are receiving rains while others are fighting floods.

“Out of the five, three were registered between January and April this year,” Mr Gikundi said.

He said their target for last year was 2,000. The poor turnout has been attributed to lack of resources to mobilise people in remote areas and the habit of waiting until the eleventh hour.

“It is not in order for people to deny themselves the right to vote by failing to register,” he added.

He said registration was also slow because of the vastness of the region. Some of the most difficult areas to reach include Chari, Cherab, Oldonyiro, Ngaremara and parts of Burat ward.

He appealed to leaders to encourage people to register.

Nairobi | County implements rules to decongest roads

Now motorists praise new traffic flow plan Drivers say move to block some roundabouts has decongested roads

BY MUCHEMI WACHIRA @wachiramuchemi mwachira@ke.nationmedia.com

M

otorists in Nairobi yesterday reported improved traffic flow on Waiyaki Way and Mombasa Road following the introduction of new rules to ease congestion in the city.

This was the second day of the short-term plan by the county government and National Transport and Safety Authority to decongest the city.

More congested

However, matatu drivers who use Valley and Mbagathi roads to access Wilson Airport and Lang’ata said their route had become more congested.

The motorists now prefer the route to avoid Mombasa Road

after Nyayo Stadium roundabout was barricaded to prevent vehicles from turning right to connect with Lang’ata Road.

Using Mombasa Road to access Lang’ata Road requires motorists to drive all the way to Kiganjo Avenue near Kenya School of Mass Communication to make a U-turn and drive back to join the road.

WHAT’S ALLEGED

Bid to ease movement Road signs: Some city drivers have called for road signs to make navigating the roads easier.

More congested: Matatu drivers using Valley and Mbagathi roads to access Wilson Airport and Lang’ata say their route had become more congested.

Big relief: Truck drivers described the new traffic flow plan as a big relief.

“It is easier to use Mbagathi Road via either Ngong Road or Valley Road to access town centre as the other route we have been using is longer,” said Mr Michael King’ara, a matatu driver.

However, long-distance truck drivers and their public service vehicle counterparts described the new traffic flow plan as a big relief.

“Traffic is flowing well from Mombasa Road all the way to Westlands despite the large number of cars using the road. Previously we would spend more than two hours on Uhuru Highway,” said Mr Alex Makongo, a truck driver.

Barricade roundabout

Motorists using Kipande and Murang’a roads also reported improved traffic flow following the barricading of Old Nation House (Khoja) Roundabout.

Vehicles coming from the side of Moi Avenue have been making a right turn at the roundabout to access Tom Mboya Street or River Road.

Some drivers called for new road signs to make navigating the roads easier.

Man kills self after daughter’s death

BY GEORGE MUNENE A 38-year-old man accused of killing his daughter during a fight with his wife has been found dead.

Mr Kinyua Muriuki, a casual labourer, died on Tuesday after he allegedly took a poisonous farm chemical at Kimandi village in Kirinyaga County.

Villagers said Mr Muriuki had sent his wife Rose Gakure away a fortnight ago follow-

ing a quarrel but she returned home on Sunday to collect her clothes.

As Ms Gakure was busy collecting her clothes, Mr Muriuki attacked her and a fight broke out, neighbours said.

When their 10-year-old daughter attempted to separate them, Mr Muriuki allegedly turned against her and hit her on the chest.

The young girl was taken to Kerugoya County Hospital in

a critical condition but died on Tuesday morning.

Her mother, who also suffered serious injuries on the head, was taken to the same hospital and was discharged on Monday.

Ms Gakure later recorded a statement at Kerugoya Police Station.

When Mr Muriuki learnt of his daughter’s death, neighbours said, he locked himself up in his house and took the poison.

Agency grounds 251 sacco matatus after fatal crash

BY NATION CORRESPONDENTS The National Transport and Safety Authority has ordered 251 Meru Nissan Sacco matatus to suspend operations following an accident in which nine people died.

The authority’s road safety director, Mr Matthew Munyao, said the matatus would only be

allowed back on the roads after they comply with regulations set by the authority.

Mr Munyao said it had been established that the ill-fated matatu, which was travelling to Chuka on March 19, was overloaded besides flouting other rules.

“We will monitor their movements until they meet the required standards before

permitting them to resume normal operations,” he said.

The matatus are parked in Meru Town and Chuka in Tharaka-Nithi County.

Sacco officials, who were locked up in crisis meetings for most of Wednesday, said they would comply with the directive.

“We will respect the law until we settle the matter,”

said sacco chairperson Wanja Karuku.

There was a transport crisis in Meru and Chuka towns after the ban, with operators from other saccos doubling fares.

Gold is there for the taking, investors told Deputy governor says huge deposits were found soon after independence

I

nvestors have been invited to exploit large gold deposits in Nandi South Sub-County.

The call was made yesterday at the opening of the Nandi County Investment Conference and Exhibition at the Kapsabet Showground by Deputy Governor Dominic Biwott.

He said the deposits were discovered at Chemase soon after independence but they have not been exploited since then.

“Local and foreign investors should exploit the gold deposits and create jobs for youth in the county,” Mr Biwott said.

The county government is seeking to move out of the shadows of Eldoret in neighbouring Uasin Gishu and lure investors to Kapsabet.

Education, agriculture, tourism, health and sports are the main areas of focus at the investor conference where, by yesterday, more than 50 companies had erected stands.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto will be chief guests on the conference’s third day tomor-

row. They are also expected to issue 20,000 title deeds to residents.

Nandi County Director of Communications Kipkorir Birgen said the administration was seeking to process its agriculture produce and is offering incentives to investors.

It wants to double earnings from Sh4.1 billion earned annually now.

“Through improved extension services and benchmarking with the best in the industry, we are capable of earning Sh12 billion from the milk industry,” Mr Birgen said.

He said with 936 primary and 204 secondary schools, the county lags behind in post-secondary institutions, but added that seven private and public universities had shown interest in opening campuses in the county.

Nakuru | Schools fight it out for honours at drama competition

Marriage, conflict in focus at drama fete Students’ acts take artistic look at society’s problems and shine light on possible solutions

BY ANTHONY NJAGI

anjagi@ke.nationmedia.com

C

onflict between rival peoples has led to massive loss of lives and property, with authorities yet to find the formula for enduring peace.

At the national drama festival, one play yesterday demonstrated how inter-tribal marriages can transform hostility into hospitality, hate into love.

Doors to Perception, a play presented by Meru’s Kaaga Girls High School during the festivals in Nakuru, provoked memories of last year’s fatal shooting of bus passengers and quarry workers by terrorists in Mandera County.

Drawing from the attacks, it portrayed how rivalry between members of different communities can be addressed through intermarriage.

In a simple story line, the play tells of a Yoruba village which is torn apart by tribal hatred caused by a struggle over a quarry.

Politicians and businessmen use all means possible to gain control the mine and its handsome returns.

However, the villagers unite in celebrating weddings and mourning deaths, and that quickly earns politicians and businessmen who are funding militias the title “cannibals

The production captured the audience with its enactment of daylight executions by armed groupings.

Kimilili Boys High School’s Kiswahili play Kuku Mla Watu portrayed the agony that families of security officers experience due to conflicts, with the story of a newly recruited policeman who has been deployed to a banditry-prone zone to go after cattle thieves.

Dzitsoni Secondary School from the coast entertained the audience with a serving of its narrative Mapochopocho, which advocated

for merit among public officers to root out corruption.

Brian Nyaigoti from Naikuro Pentecostal Assemblies of God Secondary School presented a stand-up comedy that made a hilarious description of students’ escapades during drama festivals, while Seeds of Sin, a play by Shimo la Tewa Secondary School depicted how parental guidance and responsibility are important for a child’s success.

The competition is taking place at Lohana Hall, Nakuru Lions, and Menengai High School.

Huge Sh140m tourism revival drive launched

Suicide bid bride, 13, seeks refuge in convent

Global TV firm contracted to woo visitors to Kenya in adverts

BY MATHIAS RINGA @mathiasringa mringa@ke.nationmedia.com

M

ore than Sh140 million has been budgeted for local and international campaigns to help revive the ailing tourism industry.

Kenya Tourism Board managing director Muriithi Ndegwa said yesterday American television channel, Cable News Network (CNN), had been contracted to carry out global advertising campaigns to woo back holidaymakers from the US, Europe, Asia and Africa.

He said the commercials would run on CNN for one year beginning this month highlighting Kenya’s diverse tourism offerings.

“The global advertising campaigns will help us reach traditional and emerging markets to increase the flow of tourists,” he said.

To be showcased are the popular coastal beaches, wildlife in the national parks and game reserves and diverse cultures.

Mr Ndegwa said the tourism board had also embarked on an aggressive drive to win back European chartered airlines and leading tour firms.

He said this targeted the source markets of Germany, France, Italy, Czech Republic and Scandinavian countries.

The campaigns include

media and trade familiarisation trips, travel agent meetings and shows in the targeted source markets.

Locally, Mr Ndegwa said board was working to encourage more Kenyans to go on holiday.

He added a vibrant domestic market would cushion the hotels during the low tourist season.

“We will capitalise on school holidays by encouraging Kenyans to go for holidays across the country,” he said.

He said this would be done through the “Tembea Kenya” campaign, adding that hotels and lodges had agreed to offer special holiday packages for domestic holidaymakers.

Other campaigns include creating avenues for county governments to hold tourism events to showcase their attractions.

“Domestic tourism remains a key driver to the revival of the industry,” he said.

BACKGROUND

Scores of hotels have closed As the low season sets in, more hotels are expected to shut in Kilifi and Kwale counties due to an international tourist drought and terrorism.

Since the beginning of the year, at least 23 hotels have closed in the resort towns of Malindi and Watamu in Kilifi County and Diani in Kwale County.

More than 30,000 hotel workers will be out of work for the low season beginning this week to mid-July.

BY PHILEMON SUTER A 13-year-old girl who attempted suicide after being married off to a 64-year-old man has sought refuge in a convent.

The nun in charge of St Benedictine Sisters Convent which is near Chesongoch Mission Hospital said the girl stormed their guest house on Tuesday.

“We couldn’t turn her away.

She was crying and we listened to her,” Sr Bernadine Nzuve said.

The ageing villager is said for before his marriage to the Standard Seven girl.

The girl said the marriage took place at her parents’ home in Airstrip Village near the border with Baringo County.

Pursued to hospital

She said she took the pesticide because she could not imagine being married at such an early age.

She had been at the man’s home in Kolola Division of Baringo East Sub-County for two days.

The old man pursued the girl to the hospital which is 100 kilometres away.

The girl jumped from the hospital bed and took off on seen the elder approaching with a walking stick.

The man settled the bills and asked the hospital management to ensure the patient was taken care of.

He added that he was committed to taking “his new wife” back home.

Mr Moses Chesire, an official at the hospital, said the girl had intensive physical injuries, an indication that she had been defiled.

Sr Nzuve said she was liaising with the Catholic Peace and Justice Commission in Baringo East and anti-gender based violence crusaders to save the girl from the marriage.

379 charged over 2013 Cairo killings

MASSACRE | Survivors welcome declassification of documents

French genocide papers to answer ‘dark’ questions, says Rwanda Materials will be made available to researchers and victims’ associations KIGALI, Wednesday

R

wanda said today that France’s declassification of documents relating to the 1994 genocide will shed light on unanswered questions over the mass killings, in which Kigali accuses Paris of having an indirect role.

The French decision on Tuesday concerns documents in the Elysee presidential palace relating to Rwanda between 1990 and 1995, spanning the genocide that claimed at least 800,000 lives.

“The president had announced a year ago that France must provide proof of transparency and facilitate remembrance of this period,” a source in French President Francois Hollande’s office said.

Rwanda’s Justice Minister Johnston Busingye said today that Paris should ensure that all the documents are released.

“The Franco-Rwanda political, diplomatic and military relationship between 1990 and 1995 has been a tightly guarded domain,” Busingye told AFP. “Perhaps the goings-on at the time will finally be opened up, and it will shed light on the many dark and grey questions still unaddressed.

One only hopes that the declassification is total.”

The papers, which include documents from diplomatic and military advisers as well as minutes from ministerial and defence meetings, will be available to both researchers and victims’ associations, the French presidency said.

Ties between France and Rwanda are strained, with Rwandan President Paul Kagame accusing Paris of complicity in the genocide because of its support of the Hutu nationalist government that carried out the mass slaughter, mainly of ethnic Tutsis.

Paris has repeatedly denied the accusations and insists that French forces had worked to protect civilians. Relations between both countries were completely frozen from 2006 to 2009.

The president of Ibuka, Rwanda’s genocide survivors’ association, called for documents to be made available as soon as possible.

“Let them do it and do so quickly, it is interesting, it is good,” said Jean-Pierre Dusingizemungu, saying it could shed light on France’s role and actions through the period of the genocide.

The genocide was sparked by the killing of the country’s president, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down in April 1994.

Kagame last year caused a stir by repeating his accusations against France before commemorations to mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide, which ran from April to July 1994.

He notably said that France had not “done enough to save lives” and had not only been complicit but “an actor” in the massacre of Tutsis.

He also spoke of “the direct role of Belgium and France in the political preparation of the genocide, and the participation of the latter in its actual execution”.

Former French Prime Minister Alain Juppe, who was President Francois Mitterrand’s foreign minister at the time of the genocide, termed the accusations “intolerable” and urged Hollande to “defend France’s honour.”

(AFP)

CAIRO, Wednesday Egyptian prosecutors pressed murder charges against 379 people today over the deaths of policemen and civilians during the bloody dispersal of Islamist protest camps in the capital in 2013.

It was not immediately clear how many of the defendants were in custody but it was the latest in a string of controversial mass trials to be announced over the violence that followed the army’s overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July that year.

Prosecutors charge that the defendants took part in an “armed sit-in” at the capital’s Nahda Square in August 2013, and in “armed marches that attacked civilians” in several parts of Cairo.

“Their action resulted in casualties among policemen and civilians,” a prosecution statement said.

Cairo’s Nahda and Rabaa squares were the locations of protest camps set up by Morsi’s supporters that were broken up by police on August 14, 2013, at the cost of hundreds of lives. (AFP)

A French parliamentary enquiry set up to try to establish the truth about France’s role declared that “France was in no way implicated in the genocide against the Tutsis”.

But the two rapporteurs, one of whom was Bernard Cazeneuve who is France’s interior minister, however admitted the French authorities made “serious errors of judgment”.

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame arrives at the Gisozi memorial centre in Kigali to lay a wreath on Tuesday, marking 21 years since the 1994 genocide claimed the lives of 800,000 people over 100 days.

Nine Congolese soldiers killed by Rwandan rebels GOMA, Wednesday Nine Congolese soldiers were killed in an ambush by Rwandan Hutu rebels in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a military source has said.

This comes over a month after the army launched a sweeping offensive against the militias.

The attack by the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) occurred on Monday afternoon in eastern Masisi district of

North Kivu, said Major-General Leo Mushale, who commands forces in the northeast of the country.

Three officers were among the dead, including commander of Masisi district Raphael Bawili, Maj-Gen Mushale said at a press conference in Goma, the capital of North Kivu.

“The enemy was able to carry out this ambush because a number of Congolese continue to collaborate with them,” said the general.

“We have not yet eradicated the

FDLR but they are being neutralised by our forces and we ask the public not to collaborate with the enemy,” he added.

Fresh offensive

In late February, DR Congo forces launched a fresh offensive against rebels active in the restive eastern provinces of North and South Kivu.

The FDLR, a militia of Rwandan Hutu rebels, has been active in DR Congo since crossing over the border

from Rwanda after the 1994 genocide and the subsequent seizure of power by a Tutsi-led rebel faction.

Some of the Hutu militia’s older commanders and soldiers are wanted by international courts for their alleged role in the massacre, which claimed the lives of some 800,000 people in Rwanda, mainly from the Tutsi minority. Since the launch of the operation five weeks ago, the army claimed to have “neutralised” a few hundred rebels. (AFP)

Burkina Faso’s interim parliament has passed a law blocking politicians allied to ousted President Blaise Compaore from running in elections due later this year. MPs who backed Mr Compaore’s bid last year to extend his 27-year rule would be barred from office, the law states.

The former ruling party, the Congress for Democracy and Progress, has opposed the new legislation.

Its spokesman, Boubacar Bouda, said the party was waiting to see if the law was unconstitutional.

The vote comes after the arrest this week of several allies of Mr Compaore. (BBC)

CHANGEOVER | Husband trounced Goodluck Jonathan in recent presidential election

Aisha Buhari: A new style of First Lady in Nigeria Woman’s calm demeanour is a sharp contrast to that of Patience Jonathan ABUJA, Wednesday

“F

ew would have believed that the taciturn, austere General Buhari had a soft, smiling and sweet woman at home,” the Vanguard daily said after the former military ruler was elected Nigeria’s next president.

Aisha Buhari remained in the shadows for most of the election campaign but could now impose a very different style from the current First Lady at the presidential villa Aso Rock in Abuja.

Little is known for now about the incoming First Lady other than a few details in the Nigerian media: she is 44, married her 72-year-old husband in 1989 after he divorced his first wife the previous year, and they have five children together.

“I met Aisha Buhari three times, and she seems to be a very humble person, very friendly and a good

listener,” said lawyer Ebere Ifendu, head of the Women in Politics Forum group in Abuja.

The current First Lady, Patience Jonathan, wife of outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan, has a very different public profile.

She is well-known to journalists and mimicked by comedians for her boisterous public appearances as well as political and financial scandals.

“Patience has been like a bull in a china shop. No control whatsoever,” said Yemisi Ransome-Kuti, head of the Nigeria Network of NGOs. “We are very hopeful that we will have a very different First Lady, who will bring calm and harmony at the presidency.”

Kenya Forex Bureau Association

PRESS RELEASE Reference is made to the Communication sent on the Specified Entities by the Counter Financing of Terrorism Inter-ministerial Committee of 7th April 2015 which has resulted in the immediate suspension of Money Remittance Providers (MRPs) Licenses, by the regulator, Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

As Kenya Forex Bureaus Association (KFBA) we wish to clarify as follows: 1. The 13 MRPs whose licenses have been suspended have been duly approved and licensed by the Regulator, CBK and are members of our Association.

2. CBK has licensed a total of 14 MRPs all of which have now been suspended except Safaricom Money Transfer Services Ltd. 3. Previously the hawalas (as the MRPs were previously known) were operating without any legal framework and it is them who took upon themselves and petitioned the Government to license them upon following a rigorous due process.

4. They are therefore legally licensed entities monitored by both CBK and the Financial Reporting Centre (FRC).

5. Most of the MRPs have been inspected and audited and have been given a clean bill of health.

6. Further, the Regulator can conduct investigations while the MRPs are still in operation and therefore there is no reason for immediate closure of the MRPs. 7. The MRPs’ licenses have been suspended without notice and without being given an opportunity to defend themselves greatly inconveniencing their clients.

8. These MRPs have invested heavily and employ hundreds of Kenyans, whose livelihood now hangs in the balance.

Dressed in a cream-coloured tunic and an orange and pink embroidered headscarf, Aisha seemed calm and also relieved, despite the magnitude of what had just happened and what was to come.

“The long journey has come to an end,” she told AFP, referring to the election campaign.

But she admitted to “mixed feelings” about the campaign, a low-key reference to the criticism against her husband by the ruling party. (AFP)

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe today condemned the West for meddling in Africa’s affairs.

The veteran leader, 91, seized the opportunity of a televised press conference with President Jacob Zuma in Pretoria to lambast the United Nations Security Council, the United States and former colonial power Britain.

“We want a political environment in which we are not interfered with by outsiders and we become masters of ourselves in Africa,” Mugabe told reporters.

“We don’t think we are getting a fair deal at the United Nations.

“The five countries that are permanent members there control the entire system.”

He spoke during his first state visit to South Africa in 21 years.

Mugabe said the developing world should stand together against the US, France and Britain.

“They disturb the Arab world and leave it torn apart. Look at what they did to Libya,” he said, adding that US-led wars in Iraq revealed the “messy, reckless, brutal approach of the West”.

Zuma said a series of agreements signed today would help both nations. (AFP)

IN THE DOCK | Accused may be handed life jail term or death penalty if convicted

US policeman charged with murder White officer was filmed repeatedly shooting a fleeing 50-year-old black man who was unarmed WASHINGTON, Wednesday

A

white policeman in South Carolina has been charged with murder after video emerged showing him repeatedly shooting a fleeing and apparently unarmed black man in the back.

The shooting comes in the wake of a series of similar incidents that have provoked outrage and protests in the United States, including the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

Walter Scott, 50, was shot on Saturday in the city of North Charleston after a scuffle that began with his being stopped for a broken tail light on his car, local media said.

The chilling video of the shooting in a grassy vacant lot was filmed by a passer-by who mutters expletives as he watches the incident unfold. It was later provided to The New York Times and has been widely viewed.

South Carolina state police arrested officer Michael Slager, 33, and charged him with murder on Tuesday. The charge carries a sentence of up to life in prison or the death penalty.

“The defendant (Slager) did shoot the victim multiple times

in the back after an altercation.

All this is based upon video evidence and the investigation of the State Law Enforcement Division,” reads a South Carolina court document.

A number of killings of unarmed black men by police officers in recent months have sparked protests across the United States, with demonstrators alleging racism in the nation’s police.

Officers have rarely been charged in the shootings, even when the incidents were recorded.

In this case Slager initially says into his radio after the shooting that Scott had taken his stun gun, the Times said, quoting police reports.

However, the video shows

wires from the stun gun extending from Scott’s body as the two men scuffle, the Times said.

As Scott, a heavy-set man wearing black pants and a bluish-green shirt, flees, running with difficulty, Slager draws his handgun and shoots eight times toward his back. Scott falls after the last shot.

The officer later approaches Scott, who is on the ground, telling him to put his hands behind his back, and Slager puts him in handcuffs. Slager then appears to get a device that had fallen during the altercation and drop it by Scott’s body.

The video was first released by the Times after being given to the newspaper by the Scott family’s lawyer.

REACTION

Killings sparked widespread protests After an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, was shot dead in August, other killings by police have prompted protests in the states of Wisconsin, Georgia, New York and California, among others.

An apparent retaliatory killing of two New York police officers occurred in December.

Police officers have significant legal protections in the United States and the

evidence required to bring charges against them is rarely produced.

US President Barack Obama has spoken out about problems with policing in parts of the country and he created a task force to try to address the problem following public outcry. The director of the FBI acknowledged in February that racial bias is a serious problem in US policing.

North Charleston mayor Keith Summey described the shooting as a “bad decision,” local newspaper The Post and Courier reported.

“When you make a bad decision, don’t care if you’re behind the shield or a citizen on the street, you have to live with that decision,” the mayor said.

The victim’s family spoke out at a news conference after the officer’s arrest, saying they were grateful for the “hero” who recorded the video.

“If there wasn’t a video, would we know the truth? Or would we have just gone with what was reported earlier? But we know the truth now,” said Scott’s brother Anthony in remarks broadcast on the MSNBC network.

Scott was hit by five bullets — three times in the back, once in the upper buttocks and once in the ear, said family lawyer Chris Stewart, quoting the coroner who examined Scott’s body, according to the Times.

The US Justice Department released a statement saying it would “take appropriate action in light of the evidence and developments in the state case”.

The killing of unarmed black teen Michael Brown in August was a catalyst for a recent surge in protests in the country and a renewed debate on racism. A jury chose not to indict a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer for the shooting. (AFP)

Lobby wants killing of Indian loggers probed Amnesty International yesterday called for a full investigation into the killing of 20 suspected illegal loggers by police in a forest in southern India, notorious for sandalwood smuggling. The head of the antismuggling task force behind the killings said his officers acted in self-defence after they were attacked by the men in the remote forest of Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh state. “If the killings are found to be unlawful, those responsible should be brought to justice,” said the group in a statement.

MADRID

Spain arrests 10 over ties with Islamic State Spanish police yesterday arrested 10 people in the Catalonia region suspected of having links with the Islamic State group. They were seized during a crackdown as European nations seek to stop jihadist recruitment. The operation included raids in Barcelona and Tarragona. Those arrested are suspected of crimes “linked to jihadist terrorism, particularly to the Islamic State group”, police said in a statement. Authorities in Europe are seeking to stop young people travelling to Iraq and Syria to fight with the violent extremist group. (AFP)

PARIS

Le Pen opposes her father’s candidacy The leader of France’s farright National Front, Marine Le Pen, said yesterday she would “oppose” her father standing in upcoming regional elections, in a major party and family rift.

After a series of controversial comments, including over Nazi gas chambers, Jean-Marie Le Pen’s position appears to sit somewhere “between a scorched earth strategy and political suicide”, daughter Marine said in a statement. She added she would oppose him standing in December’s regional polls at a party meeting taking place on April 17. (AFP)

TAIPEI

SALEH AL-OBEIDI | AFP

Yemeni fighters opposing Huthi rebels shout slogans as they walk in Aden yesterday. Forces loyal to fugitive Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi continue to clash with the rebels.

ADEN, Wednesday Washington deepened its involvement in the Saudi-led air war in Yemen today as aid agencies scrambled to deliver help to civilians caught up in the campaign now heading into its third week.

The Red Cross has warned of a “catastrophic” situation in the main southern city, Aden, where militia loyal to fugitive President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi have been holding out against Huthi Shiite rebels and their allies within the security forces.

Scores of people have been killed or wounded in the street fighting in the heart of the port city and aid agency Doctors Without Borders said it feared many more had been unable to reach hospitals.

The main Shiite power Iran, which has strongly opposed the Saudi-led intervention, stepped up its efforts for a negotiated settlement with a visit to Saudi ally Pakistan by Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.

Islamabad has so far deflected appeals by Riyadh to join the coalition of nine — mainly Sunni — Arab coun-

tries intervening in Yemen, for fear of deepening sectarian divisions at home and across the Muslim world.

US Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington was stepping up weapons deliveries and intelligence sharing in support of the Saudi-led coalition.

Flee to Saudi Arabia

“Saudi Arabia is sending a strong message to the Huthis and their allies that they cannot overrun Yemen by force,” Blinken told reporters in the Saudi capital late Tuesday.

“In support of that effort we have expedited weapons deliveries,” he said after talks with Defence Minister Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi officials.

A US defence official said Washington was sending primarily precision-guided munitions.

The coalition launched its air war on March 26 as the rebels and their allies closed on Hadi’s last refuge Aden, prompting him to flee to neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh accuses Tehran of backing the rebels. (AFP)

Taiwan rations water as drought rages Taiwan has begun rationing water supplies to more than one million households as it tackles the island’s worst drought in years. Water supplies will be cut off entirely for two days each week, on a rotating basis, in several northern cities. The shortage is due to reduced rainfall, leaving water levels in reservoirs far below capacity.

“The water supply situation is bad as Taiwan had the lowest rainfall last autumn and winter since 1947,” the economics affairs ministry said. Late last month, the government said the dry spell was expected to continue. (BBC)

EAC to train traders on cross-border deals EXPANSION | Gum manufacturer sees more customers chewing its products going forward

US chewing gum manufacturer sets up Sh6 billion factory in Machakos

US company puts up plant in Machakos with eye on meeting needs of the regional market

BY EDWIN OKOTH

@Edwincowino edokoth@ke.nationmedia.com

A

n American gum manufacturing company has started construction of a Sh6 billion factory in Machakos County as it seeks to increase its Africa business.

Wrigley — manufacturer of Big G, PK, Doublemint, Juicy Fruit, and Orbit — said the new plant would help satisfy growing demand in the East African region that the Nairobibased factory has been serving since 1972.

“We have had a vibrant business in East Africa and this factory is expected to meet the production demands that can satisfy the market. It also demonstrates our long-term commitment to driving sustainable growth here in East Africa, as well as in South Africa and

1972

The year when the company started operating in the country

We have had a vibrant business in East Africa and this factory is expected to meet the production demand” Wrigley boss Martin Radvan

in our newly launched business in West Africa,” Wrigley’s global president Martin Radvan said during the ground breaking ceremony yesterday.

Currently, Kenya hosts the company’s only manufacturing plant in Africa, from which it serves a growing market that includes Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia and South Sudan.

Pave the way

The Machakos-based factory sits on a 20-acre plot on the Nairobi-Machakos road. Construction of the buildings is expected be completed by year end to pave way for machine installations, with manufacturing operations projected to start in early 2017.

Officiating the ground breaking, Industrialisation and Enterprise Development, Cabinet Secretary Adan Mo-

hamed said the government was focused on boosting the manufacturing sector to diversify exports and create jobs.

“Although we have not been competitive enough to attract investors, the government is now investing in a number of reforms to improve the local investment, including the reduction of regulatory hurdles to starting a business,” said Mr Mohamed.

The move by Wrigley comes at a time when its main competitor in manufacturing confectioners, Cadbury Kenya, closed down its manufacturing plant in Nairobi late last year to start importing products from Egypt.

The company had been in the country for six decades and its top brands are Trident chewing gum, Cocoa, Cadbury Drinking Chocolate and Oreo biscuits.

The East African Community secretariat will be conducting a series of sensitisation workshops at borders between Kenya Uganda and Tanzania this month targeting small scale traders. The aim is to educate them on free movement of goods, people, capital and labour across the points of regional member states. The seminars will be complemented by training on customs clearing procedures, including payment of taxes and the consequences of crossing the border without a valid travel document. The workshops will be held between the Mutukula and Sirari/Isebania borders.

Oil explorer exits Lamu Basin block Pancontinental Oil & Gas, an Australian exploration company has announced its exit from block L10B located within the Lamu Basin at the Coast. In a notice to the Australian Securities Exchange, the firm said it had quit the joint operating agreement with Britain’s Group and the production sharing contract signed with the Kenyan Government.

The move leaves BG Group, which holds 75 per cent interest in the block through its subsidiary BG Kenya Ltd, as the sole operator.

Safaricom blocks phone numbers used to transfer stolen airtime

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT Phone numbers that were used to transfer stolen airtime from Safaricom have been blocked from the network as investigations into the case proceed.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is already pursuing over 10,000 subscribers alleged to have bought stolen talk time worth

millions of shillings last month. Mr Alex Mutuku, alleged to be behind the theft, has already appeared before the Nairobi Milimani Law courts.

Mr Mutuku is among people who are alleged to have broken into the telco’s computer system and stolen airtime, which they sold at half price to friends and relatives.

Safaricom chief executive Bob Collymore, however, did not want to

comment on the issue saying; “Unfortunately we cannot make specific comment on this query at this time as the case is still under investigation.”

Stolen airtime

The company traced the serial numbers of stolen airtime and blocked some of them from the network.

Meanwhile, the firm said it was investing heavily in security and

technology to help arrest fraudsters and take them to court.

Last year Safaricom sacked 56 employees over fraud, down from 33 in 2013. Mr Collymore said the number might be larger this year.

The company attributes increasing fraud cases to huge amount of money it transacts through its mobile money platform M-Pesa and the sensitive personal data it hosts.

Mr Collymore added that most fraud cases were insider jobs where employees of Safaricom collude with bank employees and move money from one account to another.

In 2012, Safaricom lost nearly Sh100 million in a fraudulent banking scheme executed by its agents. The firm sued 13 former agents for obtaining goods worth millions of shillings using forged banking slips.

ENERGY | Low water level in dams forces switch to diesel

Dry spell to push up the cost of electricity Regulator says thermal sources have been adding more to the energy mix thus the need for change

BY IMMACULATE KARAMBU @ikarambu ikarambu@ke.nationmedia.com

T

he price of electricity is likely to go up as a result of increased generation from fuel-driven generators.

Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that thermal production has risen in two consecutive months to 121.11 million units in February.

Generators produced 93.78 and 109.19 million units in December and January respectively.

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) attributed the increase to declining generation from hydro sources caused by the prolonged dry spell.

Director-General Joseph Ng’ang’a told the Nation by phone that the regulator could revise the fuel cost charge, a variable component of the monthly power bill that depends on the amount of fuel used to produce electricity, if increased production from thermal resources persists.

“We want to remain in the Sh2 to Sh3 band for the fuel cost charge. If increased generation from thermal resources persists in subsequent months, it may be something that we will want to look into,” said Mr

Ng’ang’a. “The dam level at our main reservoir has dropped, meaning our current energy storage is only 22.87 per cent of the full dam capacity. We, therefore, need lots of inflow into the dam to sustain the kind of dispatch from hydro,” said the ERC. The water level at the Masinga Dam, the country’s main reservoir, has dropped to 1,045 metres, according to the regulator. The dam’s maximum and minimum levels are 1,056 and 1,037 metres respectively.

Three months

According to KNBS data, hydro generation has been on a decline for three consecutive months since November last year when it was at a high of 307.25 million units. The mode of generation accounted for 229.50 million units in February.

Generation from geothermal resources declined between January and February from 388.40 million units to 352.12 million units.

Geothermal has been the leading source of electricity in the local generation mix since the second half of last year, with installation of generators to produce an additional 280 megawatts of geothermal electricity by the Kenya Electricity Generation Company in Olkaria.

ECB, Postbank join hands to grow reach

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT Postbank is increasingly emerging as a major beneficiary of commercial lenders’ bid to spread their geographical reach through agency banking considered the best alternative delivery channel.

Equatorial Commercial Bank (ECB) has become the latest to sign up an agency agreement with Postbank in a deal that will see the former’s customers access services through

the latter’s 102 branches nationwide.

The agreement brings to nine the number of commercial lenders that have partnered with Postbank to offer banking services without having to establish their own physical branches.

“We are leveraging on the teller point of sale system, which allows us to inter-link with other systems,” said Postbank acting Managing Director Anne Karanja yesterday.

Under agency banking,

financial institutions do not have to open shop in areas where they are unrepresented but can contract third parties to offer some of their services such as account opening, balance enquiries, cash deposits and withdrawals.

“Cognisant of the changes we underwent over the last quarter, including the acquisition by Mwalimu Sacco, such partnerships are going to be the norm with ECB,” said acting Managing Director Shamira Dostmohamed.

ENERGY | Bought British company among those searching for oil in Kenya

Royal Dutch Shell agrees to a £47 billion deal for BG Group Oil dealer’s board approves transaction that involves both cash and share swap LONDON, Wednesday

E

nergy titan Royal Dutch Shell today announced a mega takeover of British rival BG Group worth £47 billion, consolidating their position in a sector battered by sliding oil prices.

The cash and shares deal, approved by the BG board and worth the equivalent of $70 billion or 64 billion euros, will help Shell to boost its flagging output thanks to BG’s strong position in liquefied natural gas (LNG), a cleaner

alternative to other energy types such as coal and nuclear.

The new company will be worth twice the value of BP and overtake US energy giant Chevron Corp on finalising the sector’s biggest deal in a decade, according to Bloomberg News.

BG’s share price, which has tumbled over the past year on plunging oil prices, soared by almost 40 per cent in reaction to today’s announcement.

“The boards of Shell and BG are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash and share offer to be made

by Shell for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of BG,” said a statement by the AngloDutch group.

The offer represents a premium

CHISINAU, Wednesday A billion dollars is a lot for Europe’s poorest state of Moldova — particularly when it disappears.

Anti-corruption prosecutors and American auditors have been searching the books for clues about the mysterious transactions, an embarrassment for the ex-Soviet state on track for EU membership.

The scandal has even threatened to destabilise the banking system in the country of 3.5 million people.

of about 50 per cent compared with BG’s closing share price on Tuesday, costing Shell “approximately £47.0 billion” for its rival, the statement added.

“The result will be a more competitive, stronger company for both sets of shareholders in today’s volatile oil price world,” said Shell Chairman Jorma Ollila in the release.

BG chief executive Helge Lund said the deal “delivers attractive returns to shareholders and has strong strategic logic”.

He added: “BG’s deep water positions and strengths in exploration... will combine well with Shell’s scale, development expertise and financial strength.” (AFP)

Vanishing billion The case of the vanishing billion came to light when the Central Bank of Moldova discovered that three banks have given out loans worth a total of $1 billion, or 15 per cent of the impoverished exSoviet state’s GDP.

The financial establishments — Banca de Economii, Banca Sociala (above) and Unibank — hold about a third of all bank assets in the country, including money for pension payments.

The transactions apparently happened over the course of several days, just before the parliamentary elections in late November, in which proEuropean Union parties narrowly squeezed proRussian representatives out of the majority.

Recipients unknown

I cannot explain how one can steal such a large amount of money from such a small country” Moldova EU representative Pirkka Tapiola

The recipients of the funds have not been identified and now the money seems as good as gone.

“I cannot explain how one can steal such a large amount of money from such a small country,” said the EU representative in Moldova Pirkka Tapiola recently.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION

YOUR STARS AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 The stars today will make people at work and at home and in your love life be in high spirits. If you have been trying to discover exactly where you stand with a special someone, now is the time to ask, but do couch your words in charm and as much flattery as you can muster. .

PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 There is a lively feel about this particular day.

Chances to enjoy yourself may come in quite unexpectedly through people you hardly know: may be the planets are giving you a chance to get to know them better, and you will be very glad that you did.

ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 By now it is likely that you are feeling that your life is rather lacking in fun. Your social life feels like a slog and loved ones may be landing

responsibilities onto your shoulders, which they have no right to do. Just be resigned to life for the time being. Soon you will be able to air your own views and flex your muscles.

TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 You may feel that you have temporarily come to halt in your efforts to sort out home and family matters. However, even if progress has slowed right down, deep in your heart you know that you are edging inch by inch in the direction which will make sense in the long-term.

GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 Colleagues seem rattled so may be you need to start putting your life in better order.

Communication is vital which means paying attention to practical detail for a change.

Understanding what other people can take on board is also essential.

CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 The tendency now is to splash out or spend on impulse, which is fine if you can afford it. The real problem has nothing to do with the availability of money; it is rather a question of whether other people are using you. Whether your suspicions are collect or not remains to be seen.

LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 May be you feel a bit guilty ridden. However, you do not expect to get out of paying for something, though strictly speaking you are under no obligation to do so. The trouble is that if you refuse, you may be subjected to more hostility, which you couldn’t stand.

VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 YAt times such as this, it is difficult to tell exactly where you will end up and with whom. Some quite peculiar planetary influences denote that

you could easily take a wrong turning during the next day or so. If you are sensible, you will keep away from people whom you may have a fatal attraction.

LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 You are inclined to think that others are completely wasting your time. However, you will soon appreciate why they need you to be on hand or beside them, even if you have to cancel a prior arrangement very soon. This is as much for your benefit as it is for theirs. .

SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 By nature, you are a loyal and supportive person.

However, on this particular day, you cannot afford to help someone out, even if they ask you to. Its not that you mind giving your money away: after all, that’s what friends are for. .

.SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 Partners or relatives will try to boss you around if you allow them to do. The surprising thing, is that you are allowing yourself to be hen- pecked.

You are only yielding because there are more important issues which require your cooperation, CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 You may find that your progress in some areas of life is blocked, stymined or just frustrated, whatever happens today, don’t take it to heart: by the time you wake up tomorrow you will have a fresh outlook on life in general.

You brought endless sunshine until you went away, but your place was ready in heaven far above....

And you had to leave behind all thise you dearly loved, And though you have walked Heaven’s doors, we are never apart because you are still in our hearts.

Oh how we wish you were here today, To see all the blessings that God has given us, But we know somehow you are guiding our paths.

You were a best friend and confidant, And you completed our souls, And life without you mum feels incomplete,....

Without a goal But we know you are by God’s side, for there is no better place to be.

All we can say is “We had a wonderful mum whose heart was solid gold”.

Fondly missed by your Husband, Children, Grandchildren, Relatives and Friends.

Athletics bosses must pay back sponsors in kind

F

i n a l l y, there was a sigh of relief within the athletics circles after the mobile telephone provider Safaricom announced a Sh120m sponsorship for the 2015 Athletics Series.

The biggest sports sponsor in the country had last month indicated a review of their commitment to the sport, owing to internal rift.

Jokes aside, this time Safaricom acted tough and there was no guarantee the money was forthcoming until the last minute.

But as they say, negotiations work wonders. However, the sponsorship is not to be taken for granted this time round as Safaricom are serious about accountability. Kenya Rugby Union can attest to this after their deal was thrown outside the window.

The new format series announced last week will feature three categories — relays, track and field and long distance races.

This is especially good news for the middle distance runners who will hold their national trials tomorrow in readiness for the second IAAF World Relays Championships set for Nassau, Bahamas between May 2 and 3. The track and fields will include kids athletics (May 12 and 13), national championships (July 9-11) and national trials to the World Championships in Beijing and All Africa Games in Congo (July 24-25).

row morning for the championships that will get under way at 5pm.

AK chief executive officer Isaac Mwangi said they were expecting South Africa to provide their teams by yesterday evening. Botswana are the reigning Africa 4x400m men champions, a feat they achieved last year in Morocco, beating Nigeria and Kenya, who won silver and bronze respectively. Amos and Makwala, who had won the 800m and 400m Africa titles, teamed up with Seribe and Maotoanong to win the 4x400m Africa title, clocking 3:01.89.

After beating Kenya’s David Rudisha at the Commonwealth Games, Amos would go for a double in Morocco, winning gold in 1:48.54. It’s at the event where Makwala won the 400m title in a championships record time of 44.23 while Kenya’s Boniface Mucheru settle for bronze in 45.07.

New faces

The Kenyan team of Mucheru, Mark Mutai, Solomon Buoga and Nicholas Bett settled for bronze in 3: 07.35 in the 4x400m in Morocco.

Nigeria, who had Noah Akwu, Robert Simmons, Miles Ukaoma and Amaechi Morton timed 3:03.09 for silver. However, the team that is due for Nairobi has new faces in Tobi Ogunmola, Fasasi Rilwan, Eraiyokan Orukpe and Odele Tega.

Orukpe was in Nigeria’s 4x400m team for the World Relays last year where they failed to reach the final, finishing 13th overall while Kenya wound up 15th. Nigeria won the Africa 4x400m women’s title as Kenya and Botswana got silver and bronze respectively.

Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore revealed that his commitment to supporting the athletics series was prompted by the need to support our gallant athletes.

“We have extended our commitment beyond the straightforward road and long distance races. We are doing the relays to develop the short races runners and cross country. We will continue to expand the range of our athletics disciplines,” Collymore said.

With this level of commitment from the sponsors, it is incumbent upon those who run the sport to exhibit a similar verve through sound administration. barnabakorir@yahoo.com

KENYA OPEN

CROWDED FIELD | This year’s edition, worth Sh32 million, has biggest Kenyan entry of 27 professionals and six amateurs

Snow leads ‘well prepared’ local pros’ Kenyans Indiza, Andersen also eye good fortunes but must contend with top talent as European Tour event tees off today

BY LARRY NGALA

@LarryNgala lngala@ke.nationmedia.com

A

fter all the build up events, local professionals are now set to tackle the world as a field of 156 embark on the first round this morning in the 2015 Barclays Kenya Open golf championship at Karen Country Club.

Unlike in the past where the locals blamed poor performance on lack of preparations and build up tournaments, this year they go to Karen with plenty of games under their belts.

They have played eight tournaments including five Kenya Airways Golf Safari series, two in the Barclays Bank Golf Circuit and the 72-hole Jamii Telecom PGK Masters.

Winners in those events shot impressive rounds of under par scores hence Kenyan golf enthusiasts are expecting good performance from the local boys even though they will be playing against very experienced players from different parts of the world some of whom have been in the PGA European Tour.

Last year, Muthaigabased Greg Snow went to the extend of leading the field with a nine under par before fading away from the top order to eventually finish in 10th place on six under par 282.

The pressure told as he fired one over par 73 in the final round, having shot 70, 68 and 71 earlier.

Snow and long-hitting Dismas Indiza were however the only Kenyans to go all the way to the final round despite six being tipped to make the second round.

Because of his sterling performance, not only in the 2014 Kenya Open, but also in subsequent events in the Challenge Tour as well as in other events, Snow will be, by all means, the most sought after local professional in this year’s Open.

The 2015 edition has the biggest entry of 27 professionals and six amateurs.

“I believe I am capable of winning the Open and I am going for nothing short of that,’’ said Snow during the Jamii Telecom PGK Masters where he shot three under par total of 281 to finish two shots behind Nicholas Rokoine and Dismas Indiza.

professional, has been craving for a Kenya Open victory and he believes this year is his.

“I am playing well and have been practising for the open and if all goes well, I should definitely go beyond the 10th place,’’ said Snow.

The Kenyan hopeful is drawn on the 10th tee along with Austria’s Jurgen Maurer and England’s Nathan Kimsey in today’s opening round of the 200,000 (about Sh20.2 million) event where the winner will take home 32,000 (Sh3.2 million).

On the first tee at 12.40pm, long-hitting Dismas Indiza, one of the players to watch from the host country will be firing his way in the company of Spain’s Sebastian Garcia Rodriguez and Will Besseling.

Indiza, one of the most experienced Kenyan professionals, has featured in the open for a number of years, and came closer to winning once, though like some of his colleagues, faded away in the final round.

He would like to go beyond his 13th placing in last year’s tournament.

Other players to watch will be South Africa-based Stefan Andersen, Vet Lab’s Brian N j o ro ge , N j u g u n a Ngugi from Railway, Nakuru-based Richard Ainley, Riz Charania, D a v i d Wakhu a n d Mutha i ga ’s Nicholas Rokoine.

All these players should be able to go through the first two rounds if the recent results of the local events are anything to go by.

The condition of the course may also determine the chances of the locals.

A wet course and slightly slow greens will play to the Kenyans’ favour.

All the same, the first two rounds today and tomorrow will determine Kenya’s chances of bringing the Kenya Open title home.

Chasing the amateur title among the six Kenyans, who include the country’s top junior Mathew Wahome, will be Limuru country Club’s John Karichu.

Currently in great form, Karichu was well within the cut at last year’s tournament only to be disqualified for carrying more than the required maximum 14 clubs.

He was the only amateur to make the cut during the Jamii Telecom PGK Masters where he shot rounds of 68, 75, 70 and 71 at Muthaiga Golf Club.

He is a member of Kenya’s national team preparing for the Africa Zone Six Championship in Uganda that will tee off next week.

FIVE KENYAN PLAYERS TO WATCH Greg Snow: Attached to Muthaiga Golf Club. He has featured in the Open several times. He came very close to winning the event last year featuring high on the leaderboard, but he dropped a number of shots to finally finish in 10th place with an impressive six under par 282. He has featured in many international events and turned out good performances.

His 2014 Kenya Open performance saw him get several invitations to play in the European edition of the Challenge Tour. He also played in a number of events in the Middle East-based Mena Tour. By all accounts he is in good form, shooting under par scores in the local tourneys hence expectations that he will go beyond last year’s performance.

Dismas Indiza: Member of Mumias Golf Club and sponsored by the giant Sugar company Mumias Sugar. Indiza, is the most popular and experience Kenyan pro. His best placing in the Open so far is 4th place. He has travelled many countries for the Challenge Tour but more or so, to South Africa for the Sunshine Tour.

During the 2014 event, Indiza finished a shot behind Snow in 13th place with five under par 283. Being over 40, it is probably do or die for him in this year’s Kenya Open.

Njuguna Ngugi: A member of Kenya Railway Golf Club, and American educated, Ngugi was on the route to the final two rounds last year until he bogeyed a few holes in the second round that resulted in a two over par 74, having levelled the course in the opening round, to miss the cut by two shots. He is currently in an excellent form and not only capable of going past the first two rounds but even winning.

One feels he needs to play more international events such as in the Sunshine Tour that offers Kenyan players a better chance of graduating to the European Tour than via the Challenge Tour.

Brian Njoroge: Another American educated, Vet Lab’s Njoroge started last year’s open with a 75 and though he improved with a level par 72 in the second round, it was a matter of doing too little too late. Like Ngugi, he missed over three birdie chances to go under in the second round. He performed well in the local KCB Golf Tour Order of Merit soon after the Open, and consequently will be among the four Kenyan pros who will play under the KCB banner at Karen. He started as a junior where he represented Kenya in many international amateur events.

He is an intelligent player who has all the ability to win at the Kenya Open level if he maintains his current form.

Stefan Engell Andersen: Attached to Serengeti Golf Estate in South Africa and a member of Muthaiga Golf Club here in Kenya, Andersen has featured in the Sunshine Tour over the past four years in addition to other events in Europe. Turned professional after a colourful career both as a junior and senior. Though he started with one over par 73 last year, his game could not just click as a disappointing 75 in the second round left him far off the cut. On his day he has the potential to claim his place in Kenya’s golf history.

The pair Wales professional Stuart Manley and Kenya Open Golf Limited chairman Peter Kanyago shot 12 under par 60 to claim the overall title in the 2015 Barclays Kenya Open second Pro-Am at Karen Country Club yesterday.

The two played a low 28 at the front nine which included seven birdies and a 32 at the back nine where they birdied three times.

“We played well though did not think our scores were going to be good enough to make us win.

“I am very happy, my partner played well though made some contribution also,’’ said Kanyago, a member of Karen.

The winners won by the narrow margin of one shot from the pair of Frenchman Cyril Bouniol with his lady partner Jane Karuku who shot 11 under par 61.

Bouniol and Karuku made two birdies and an eagle at the front nine, and five birdies at the back nine to beat the pair of another French professional Francois Calmels and Danny Mucira as well as the fourth placed team of Andreas Harto of Denmark and amateur Watson Burugu from Thika Sports Club.

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE | Bottom table thriller produces six goals

Benteke treble boosts Villa Belgian hit man now has seven goals from five matches as he keeps side above relegation zone

Burnley on goal difference, but they are now two points from safety having played a game more than fourth-bottom Hull City.

“The point was better for them,” said Ramsey, who worked as Sherwood’s assistant at Tottenham Hotspur last season.

“We would have loved to have won the game and been above the line. Based on the performance in the second half, we are disappointed we have not got three points.”

Villa started brightly at Villa Park, but it was QPR who took a seventhminute lead when Bobby Zamora’s feathered cross was headed in by Phillips.

However, Villa quickly forced the visitors back and drew level just three minutes later when Benteke was allowed to drift infield from the left and curled a shot past QPR goalkeeper Rob Green.

Green saved twice from 19-year-old midfielder Jack Grealish, making his first league start for Villa, and Sandro blocked from Ron Vlaar before Benteke put the home side ahead in the 33rd minute.

hristian Benteke scored a potentially priceless hat-trick as Aston Villa avoided slipping into the Premier League relegation zone by drawing 3-3 at home to Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday.

After Matt Phillips put QPR ahead, a Benteke brace gave Villa control, only for second-half goals from Clint Hill and Charlie Austin to leave QPR on the brink of a win that would have taken them out of the bottom three at their opponents’ expense.

But Benteke completed his treble with an inch-perfect 83rd-minute free-kick to take the Belgian striker’s tally to seven goals in five games and leave Tim Sherwood’s side three points above the bottom three.

“Christian Benteke was very good.

The second goal especially was excellent,” said Villa manager Sherwood.

“We need him between now and the end of the season, but it was disappointing to give away scruffy goals.

“It might be a very important point.

Only time will tell, but we need to win games. It is a point in the right direction though.”

Elusive play

GLYN KIRK | AFP

Aston Villa’s Zaire-born Belgian striker Christian Benteke celebrates scoring their first goal against Queens Park Rangers during their English Premier League match on Tuesday at Villa Park. The match ended 3-3.

Gabriel Agbonlahor beat Sandro to the ball and freed Benteke, who eluded Hill and scored with his right foot.

Agbonlahor headed just wide from Leandro Bacuna’s cross shortly before half-time and with Villa continuing to dominate early in the second half, Ramsey took action by introducing Karl Henry and Armand Traore.

The changes had an immediate effect as within three minutes the visitors were level, with 36-year-old Hill claiming his first Premier League goal by heading in Phillips’s corner.

Twelve minutes from time, Phillips turned creator again, wriggling past Kieran Richardson and crossing for Austin to slam home his 17th goal of the league campaign.

But Benteke had the final say by bending a free-kick over the QPR wall and in off the post past the despairing dive of Green. (AFP)

Kariobangi Sharks eager to swim in big pool

BY NATION REPORTER

sportsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com At a time when many top tier football teams in Kenya are struggling financially, Nairobi-based Kariobangi Sharks is determined to go places.

Aware that the team needs a good playing ground to achieve their ambition, the management signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Utalii College that would allow them to upgrade the institution’s sports ground at a cost of Sh1 million.

Work has already began and three months from now the team will have a modern training ground.

Formed in 2011, the Foot-

ball Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League side is determined to become a model club in the country and are already taking steps to achieve their dream.

The team is funded by Nairobi businessman Nick Mwendwa the proprietor of River Bank Solutions Limited.

Mwendwa says he was motivated to start the team to give the many talented youth in the slums a chance to showcase their talent.

“There was need for a youth team to take in the many talented youth within Kariobangi who had a passion for the game but no facilities to play,” he explained.

With an annual budget of Sh16million Kariobangi Sharks have nurtured a number of talented players with midfielder Patilla Omoto (pictured) the most famous product from the club.

Among the achievements of the team are winning the Nairobi Champions league and a semi-final placing in the defunct Sakata ball tournament.

Towards the end of last season, Sharks, who were then participating in the National Super League, laid down a one year target of playing in the country’s top league.

In-order to do this, they recruited well and also signed Michael Amenga who holds a KNVB level “B” licence as head coach.

According to team captain Eric Juma, the presence of an experienced coach and other changes in the team are a motivating factor for the players. “We needed an experienced coach and in Amenga we found that.”

Kariobangi lie fourth on the league table with 10 points from six matches played.

Domestic Cup holders Sofapaka come from a goal down to salvage a draw against host Muhoroni Youth in a Kenyan Premier League match yesterday at Muhoroni stadium.

Collins Shivachi cancelled out Abass Akinyemi penalty in the first half in a match that the hosts dominated from the first minute.

Muhoroni started the game with intentions to claim the three points as Jeremiah Wanjala and Eric Baki attacked in the third minute.

Sofapaka responded in the 14th minute with Burundi international Abdoul Fiston feeding Enock Agwanda whose shot was punched out by Muhoroni custodian Allan Owiny for the first corner of the match.

In the 26th minute Sofapaka coach Sam Timbe introduced

midfielder and KPL Player of the Year Antony Ekhaliana for David Bagole and this seemed to add new life to the visitor’s play.

But it was the host who broke the deadlock in the 30th minute after Abdoul Yorou handled the ball in the box for a penalty and Nigerian Akinyemi stepped forward to calmly slot home from the spot.

arambee Stars defender David “Calabar” Owino says “quality preparations” will be key to the team’s chances of securing qualification to the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Owino was reacting to the qualifying draw for this competition that was held by the Confederation of African Football in Cairo yesterday afternoon, that pits Kenya against Zambia, Congo-Brazzavile and Guinea Bissau in a tough looking Group E. The top sides from this and the other 12 groups together with the two best second placed nations after the completion of the home-and-away round robin qualification games will advance to the 16-nation finals in Gabon in January 2017.

“I play alongside six Zambia internationals. They are a good team. We need to prepare early enough and feature in formidable friendly games to stand a chance,” Owino, who features for Zambian league champions Zesco United told Nation Sport on phone from his Ndola base last evening.

Stars are seeking to qualify for Africa’s premier football sporting showpiece for the first time in 13 years. The team’s last attempt to qualify ended in a shock 1-0 aggregate

after Paul Machika fouled Fiston on the edge of the box only for the Burundi international to hit the woodworks with a curling free kick.

Sofapaka coach Sam Timbe opted to bring in John Baraza for winger Erastus Mwaniki.

The match was interrupted for three minutes with three Muhoroni players Abdala Hamisi, Jeremiah Wanjala and Eric Baki down injured at different points of the pitch.

short presentations.

The Gabonese were co-hosts with neighbours Equatorial Guinea of the 2012 Cup of Nations.

They will be the second successive central African country to host the championship after Equatorial Guinea this year.

Choosing Gabon ended a 1,529day saga over who would host the next edition of the biennial African

football showpiece.

South Africa were selected as 2017 hosts four years ago, but traded tournaments with 2013 hosts Libya because of post-Moamer Kadhafi-era violence in the north African state.

As deadly Libyan inter-militia fighting intensified, the oil-rich country were forced to withdraw as 2017 hosts as well.

Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana,

Kenya, Sudan and Zimbabwe then applied to stage the 16-nation, threeweek tournament.

But Caf dropped Kenya, Sudan and Zimbabwe from the bidding contest, saying they did not meet the criteria to host the tournament.

Kenya (1996) and Zimbabwe (2000) had previously been selected as Cup of Nations hosts only to pull out due to lack of finance. (AFP)

Rape case MP’s bond upheld Magistrate warns that should Mwiti fail to appear in court, the bond terms would be set aside

100,000 Amount of bond in shillings granted to Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti who has been charged with rape

A

Nairobi court yesterday declined to cancel a Sh100,000 bond granted to Imenti Central MP Gideon Mwiti after he was charged afresh.

Chief Magistrate Lucy Mbugua declared free, the man who was on the verge of being dragged to the cells had the bond been set aside.

She said there was nothing on record to show Mr Mwiti interfered with evidence or intimidated witnesses after he was first arraigned on April 2.

“Prosecution said that at the time he was first charged, there was a report about interfering with evidence, but no application had been formally made then. I find that there is no information regarding any attempts after that date,” she ruled.

The magistrate, however, warned that should the MP fail to appear in court every two weeks as from April 21, the bond terms would be set aside.

She also issued an order stopping the MP, his family or agents from contacting the victim or her relatives in any manner.

The magistrate dismissed arguments by Mr Mwiti’s lawyers John Khaminwa and Henry Kurauka that the information was dishonest.

“The applicant is dishonest, the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is independent. There has been no direct testimony,” Dr Khaminwa had told court earlier.

The magistrate also ruled that the Affirmation Act allows the victims to be present during hearing of the case while defending the affidavits that had been presented.

While refusing to cancel the Sh100,000 bond granted by Resident Magistrate Edda Agade, Ms Mbugua ruled that interfering with evidence and intimidation were valid grounds for bond terms to be denied, but she could not cancel what had already been set.

In the morning, Mr Mwiti and his co-accused, Dr David Muchiri, were

freshly read their charges after an amendment on the charge sheet to omit the victim’s full names.

Mr Mwiti denied the charges of rape, intimidation and assault, while Dr Muchiri pleaded not guilty to aiding the MP to commit the offence of rape while neglecting to use all reasonable means to prevent a felony.

The trial will be on May 22.

n Monday, January 26 this year, DN2 ran a special report on construction of the Standard Gauge Railway line.

Out of the need to build the SGR, the government had compulsorily compensated land owners along the route, and ordinary wananchi had been suddenly transformed into overnight millionaires.

Even as the outcry from the angry and disappointed who had yet to be paid continued, the few who had received their bounty wasted no time and spared no expense to celebrate.

In Manyani village, for instance, two teenage girls had been left in a dilemma after receiving a notice to vacate a house they had long known as home. They had no idea where their father, a widower, was.

Angela, the elder of the sisters, had been told that their father was off making merry after recieving the money. Rumour had it that the old man had bought an old van — which they had seen but could not confirm it was his — and moved to Mombasa, where he was busy painting the town red.

What could be confirmed, though, was the old man’s actual compensation value.

Public records at the Kenya Railways office in Voi indicated that he had received slightly above Sh5.5 million for a row of houses, some of which were rentals.

According to his friends, the old man had been spotted occasionally, hopping from one drinking den to another.

While this man was

Enshrined in the Lands Act, Cap 3 of 2012, Compulsory acquisition refers to the powers of the state to extinguish or acquire any title or other interests in land for public purpose subject to prompt payment of compensation.

accused of abandoning his daughters, Ms Abigail Idi Wawuda — a widow and resident of Kaloleni estate, Voi — was conned by her own son.

Ms Wawuda had asked her 30-year-old son to receive the compensation money on her behalf as he was better versed in technology and also more flexible when it came to the time needed to follow up the documents with the bank.

However, her son, Mr Hamisi Kilunju Idi, vanished soon after receiving the money.

She was not sure the amount her son had received as compensation for the three-bedroom house she shared with her daughter and two grandchildren Idi had suddenly became uncooperative. Her daughter, however, thought the money could be in excess of Sh360,000.

These two cases depict a familiar story that has been ongoing for decades — one of compensation money spent as fast as it has been received.

They also highlight the impact of a little-known law of compulsory acquisition.

“Enshrined in the Lands Act, Cap 3 of 2012, compulsory acquisition refers to the powers of the state to extinguish or acquire any title or other interests in land for public purpose subject to prompt payment of compensation,” explains Dr Jack Mwimali, a senior law lecturer at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

concept called eminent domain was spread by Hugo Grotius, an ancient philosopher. According to the doctrine of eminent domain, the state has the right to all land within its boundaries and each person holding land does it “on behalf of” the government.

According to Dr Mwimali, two

concepts revolve around the doctrine. One is estate, where an individual holds land for a duration of time; and the other is tenure, where one receives land from the state in return for services provided to the nation.

The audit is meant to point out buildings that have defects or are structurally weak and should be reinforced or brought down.

The audit was commissioned following the successive collapse of two buildings in the city in December last year.

are applicable in Kenya.

However, he notes that the new Constitution has made a few structural changes to the doctrine “to avoid abuse”, for instance, in situations where land is acquired for public use then used for private businesses.

As such, he adds, under Article 40, all land belongs to Kenyans even though the administration is with the National Lands Commission.

But who is to blame for the squandered money? Ms Dorothy Chepkoech, a finance auditor with the National Bank of Kenya, thinks both the payer and payee should

The government should adopt a partnership programme with banks instead of just depositing money into people’s accounts and enabling them to make poor decisions with the mone.”

shoulder the blame.

“We cannot just blame ordinary wananchi alone,” she says. “Should I be blamed for living like King Solomon when I know no better?

We’ve heard stories of people in Masaailand who are selling land and buying cars (a liability).

That is a mistake. Usually, the conventional advice we give to clients who approach us for financial advice is to ‘make the money earn money for them’,” she says.

For instance, after purchasing a land, say, in an arid area, one can sink a borehole and take up

farming or even supply water to the neighbourhood.

Ms Chepkoech says being creative and innovative is the secret. As such, she advises, the compensated landowners should keep the bounties in a bank. Better still, you should invest in an idea you have tested over time, she advises.

“Do not bury the compensation amount under your mattress,” she cautions.

“With inflation and time, the value of money will erode. It is advisable to lock that money in a bank account that earns you cash, however little. Meanwhile, develop a comprehensive budget to guide you.”

Ms Chepkoech says the government should adopt a partnership programme with banks instead of depositing money into people’s accounts and leading them to make poor decisions. Were there a formal arrangement, the banks would do capacity building and also offer financial advice to those who have been compensated.

In regard to valuation, Dr Mwimali, the property lawyer, says it is a Herculean task to obtain a land valuation.

However, he explains, valuation in compulsory acquisition cases should be carried out by the NLC valuers.

“The value of the property is arrived at on the basis of the market value — for instance, if the land is agriculturally viable or not — and its location. Also, any structures on the land determine influence it value.”

However, serious procedural questions arise with compulsory land acquisition, and Dr Mwimali acknowledges these. Why can’t the landowner have his or her own valuers enjoined in the valuation exercise, for instance?

One of the reasons tendered for this is cost: if you bring in too many experts, the overall cost may rise beyond manageable limits.

The NLC, which is designed to be an independent constitutional commission, takes over this mandate on a purely intermediary basis, and as such they should work without fear or favour, states Dr Mwimali.

It is your entitlement to get the best value for your land.

Therefore, private valuers can be enjoined in the valuation exercise, even though the ultimate value decision will be made by the NLC value experts.

“That is not to say that the value given (by NLC) is cast in stone. If you are discontented, you have a right to appeal — challenging valuation as being unreasonable, or on

lack of prompt and adequate compensation grounds — including making complaints that are not appropriate to acquire that property,” says Dr Mwimali.

According to him, the landowner valuation experts’ evidence is admissible in a court of law.

This, however, calls for some soul searching on the land owners’ part as “adequate compensation is weighted against public interest”.

Consequently, the landowner should consider the states’ interest and should not make excessive and exhorbitant claims.

Still, compulsory acquisition uproots people from places they have long known as home and as such there should be a balance between public and individual rights.

To ensure the status quo is maintained, the government should consider issuing alternative lands instead of just making compensation and leaving people frantically dashing for the next available piece of land.

“A well thought and planned programme should be rolled out. The National Housing Commission can prioritise the interest of compulsory acquisition recipients and issue them houses,” says Dr Mwimali.

Also, since people have the right to proper housing, other rights notwithstanding, the government can come up with a formal settlement with extra amenities such as schools, hospitals, and developed access roads.

The new Constitution has modified the unlimited powers given to the government in regard to compulsory acquisition, which is now subject to human rights provisions in Article 40 about the right of ownership.

In fact, the provision on eminent domain itself is found in Article 40, which says everyone has a right to own land anywhere in Kenya without interference.

However, the government can acquire land subject to prompt and adequate compensation.

On March 13 last year, the National Lands Commission was put to task and warned of a possible lawsuit by the Parliamentary Public Investment Committee (PIC) for flouting the law on compulsory acquisition.

The lands commission had gazetted the intention to acquire 27 parcels of land in Taita Taveta, Kwale and Makueni counties (for the SGR construction) without funds for compensating the affected landowners.

Public private partnerships can go a long way in easing the acute housing shortage in almost all urban centres in the country.

Big kitchens Duchess Park selling point

BY VERAH OKEYO @VerahOkeyo vokeyo@ke.nationmedia.com IN MANY Kenyan homes, the kitchen is usually not very big, and is not given much attention, since it is viewed simply as a place for preparing food.

In contrast, the living room, where families spend a lot of time and also entertain guests, gets special treatment as the focal point of the home.

However, interior designers are slowly moving towards making the kitchen a focal point. The Cue Duchess Park apartment complex is a case in point. Located in the high-end Lavington in Nairobi, the apartments’ selling point is the kitchen: They are much larger than your average kitchen, with enough space to accommodate an-eight chair dining table.

Painted brown, cream and silver, the kitchen in every apartment in the complex will allow the owner to display everything, instead of keeping most things hidden from sight in cupboards. From the spacious cooking area, red chairs continue the flow of movement to the eating area, which has chocolate-coloured wooden dining chairs.

Developed by the Westlandsbased Sigimo Enterprises, the apartment complex is lavish and fit for a king.

It is obvious the target market here is the A list, self-actualised buyer conscious of style, and to whom money is not a problem.

Fifty-two of the 62 apartments are three-bedroom, all en suite with a master bedroom, balcony and self-contained servant’s quarters, are going for Sh29.5million for cash buyers and Sh35m for mortgage buyers.

The servants quarters for the three-bedroom apartment is 210 square metres.

The four-bedroom apartments, which boast a 230-square metres servant’s quarters, also have a master bedroom and balcony. They are going for Sh39.5 million.

The biggest are the fivebedroom duplexes, with all of the aforementioned facilities, plus an attic space and a terrace. They cost Sh 49.5 million.

In addition to jacuzzis, the apartments have social amenities like a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a jogging track, and a sauna.

PPPs the way to go to ensure development of infrastructure The model offers the government an alternative to provide badly needed social services and amenities, which it cannot do due to lack of funds

BY IMMACULATE WAIRIMU immawairimu@yahoo.com

espite substantial increments in the development budget in the last couple of years, the government still cannot provide adequate housing, healthcare, educational facilities, transport, among others, mainly due to a shortage of funds for infrastructural development.

Yet it should develop the country without necessarily increasing the national debt. so that other macroeconomic aspects remain stable and make the country attract more investments. This would enable the government to focus its resources on other public priorities, says Mr Kaara Wainaina, the Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) Unit’s external affairs expert.

Consequently, the government must seek other sources of finance for its development agenda, Mr Wainaina, notes, adding that public private PPPs are an ideal alternative.

Indeed, this was the main rationale behind the adoption of public private PPPs, with the government adopting a PPP policy and the subsequent Public Private Partnership Act (PPP Act) of 2013.

“A PPP is an arrangement between a public body or contracting authority and a private party in which the private party undertakes to perform a public function, or to provide a service on behalf of the contracting authority, and receives compensation through user fees, government payments or a combination of both,” says Mr Wainaina.

Unlike public procurement, where the government buys a service of function, PPPs are largely collaborations between the public and private sectors, in which “public” includes the government or government bodies such as ministries, departments and agencies and private sector players, in which the latter provide funding for the design and management of the project,” he explains.

“In exchange for the service or function, the private party receives compensation from a public fund, or charges, or fees, or both, from users or consumers of the project.

However, Mr Wainaina notes, “The PPP model does not mean that the government surrenders its functions to the private sector. PPPs simply enable the country to undertake more development projects by partnering with the private sector,

thereby ensuring access to a larger pool of resources,” says Mr Wainaina.

“There are also areas in which the private sector is more efficient in delivering, maintaining and projects than the state.

As a result, the PPP model enables better maintenance and schedules of projects, ensuring that wananchi get better services.

This means that low-cost housing, as well as housing for civil servants, police officers, prison warders could benefit a great deal from this model, Mr Wainaina says.

Indeed, many urban centres in the country have an acute housing shortage, especially for low-income earners. This has led to the proliferation of slums and squatter settlements.

The current housing policy, which is in line with Kenya’s Vision 2030 for

A PPP is an arrangement between a public body or contracting authority in which the private party undertakes to perform a public function, or to provide a service on behalf of the contracting authority, and receives compensation for it.”

urban housing, requires an increase in the annual provision of housing units from the current 35,000 to 200,000 annually.

Current estimates indicate that nearly two million people in and around Nairobi need modern, decent and affordable housing. The development of housing for this majority is envisaged to be achieved through PPP arrangement, among other approaches.

In fact, the government is evaluating bids, with the successful bidders to put up houses on three sites in the next three years.

According to the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, the contracts will cover three sites in Nairobi: one on Park Road, which will house 1,600 units; the second in Shauri Moyo to house 2000 units; and the third in Starehe, which will house 6,400 units.

The houses are intended for low-cadre civil servants.

There are also upcoming projects that target the low- and middle-income segmentw, which have largely been shunned by private developers in the past due to their low profit margins, and other targeting housing upgrades in Eastlands as well as for the police and prison services.

The county is also looking to establish office blocks and other amenities.

Kenyatta University is one of the public universities that have adopted the PPP model to build student hostels.

Negotiations are at an advanced stage and should be concluded soon so that the project can begin.

Other projects being considered for implementation under the PPP model are health facilities, prisons, roads and bridges, ports, airports and railway infrastructure, power generation, transmission and distribution plants, inland container depots and logistic hubs, petroleum storage depots and distribution systems and solid waste management.

Transaction advisers (consultants who assist in the preparation of feasibility studies and transaction documents) are already on the ground, retained to support road projects like the operation and maintenance of the Nairobi-Thika road; the development,operation and maintenance of the Mombasa-Nairobi Road and the Nairobi-Nakuru road; the operation and maintenance of the Southern Bypass (from Mombasa road to Kikuyu) and also the proposed second Nyali Bridge, says Mr Wainaina. Once the transaction advisers finish packaging these projects, they will be brought to the market, he adds.

Mr Wainaina stresses that a stable regulatory framework, as exemplified by the PPP Act of 2013, bankable projects and private capital are critical factors for the success of PPPs, adding that Kenya is fortunate to have all three.

“PPPs run for many years and the private sector is wary of legal, financial and political changes. It is, therefore, important to address their concerns and offer strong assurance through firm legal instruments. And the Public Private partnership Act of 2013 provided this strong legal assurance to investors that the covenants they enter into will be respected, even if there is a change of government,” says Mr Wainaina.

One of the most treasured Kenyan gifts during seasons such as Easter is the khanga.

Put such gifts to good use, using each piece to make a set of two oversized pillows that can act as floor cushions in your living room, or as cushions on your day bed and guest room. Another way to put African-inspired fabrics to good use is to make a retro circle apron with a matching ecofriendly shopping tote for your groceries. You could also use khangas to make some vibrant car seat organisers.

he long Easter holiday is over, but many memories were made during the season. When the holiday is done and dusted, it is easy to put away all the memorabilia without realising that there are simple and creative ways you can incorporate them into your home décor, below are a few tips on how to do this:

Block party

Blow up black-and-white versions of the photos from the events you attended this Easter and have a professional help you wrap them around smooth square blocks of wood. If you use different sizes of blocks, you can display the photos inside a glass cake dome stand and place the stand in the middle of your dining table. You could also place some of the blocks on a white wicker tray, with some spray-painted glass bowls in bold colours such as red, green and yellow. You can also use pairs of similarly sized photo blocks as bookends in your home office.

Cooked in love

You can get inexpensive white melamine or plastic plates and write out the recipes that you served during the season and date each plate to mark

when you served it and who you served it to. Next, spray the edges of the plates with some metallic spray paint and hang the plates in a row above your kitchen shelf to create keepsakes that also serve as recipe displays. Better still, if you can, get some of the guests who ate each meal to add their signatures or compliments about the meal.

outgrow the outfit or might have accidentally ripped or stained the bodice of the outfit, there is a decorative way out. You can use the little boy pants to make sausage pillows for their bedroom or even the living room.

As for the little girl’s dress, you can cut out the bodice and use some ribbon to create a circle skirt for a short wooden stool, painted in turquoise or pink.

The stool can be used in the kitchen with a romantic them, or of course, more naturally, in the little girl’s room.

Easter is a good time to visit out-of-town open air markets to buy local curios. One item that is always a good idea to have is a basket, and the bigger, the better.

You can use the it to store towels in your bathroom, vegetables in your kitchen, extra blankets in your living room, your dirty laundry in your bedroom, toys and books in children rooms; its uses are simply inexhaustible.

Other roadside curious that can make lovely décor items are inexpensive wooden cooking spoons. Buy them in different sizes and if you can, buy at least a dozen. Combine the spoons with a simple clock set to create a one-of-a-kind wall clock in your kitchen.

Get chic pieces by paying only Sh200 a month Many clients who would normally avoid going to highend store Victoria Courts now flocking there, thanks to credit facility

W

ith many middleincome Kenyans’ appetite for designer household furniture growing, rsome etailers have introduced credit facilities to allow them to acquire items in installments of as little as Sh300 a month.

For instance, household accessories and furniture sellers Victoria Courts have introduced credit facilitates to cater for the growing number of people who want to buy their high-end products but cannot pay for them at a go.

In partnership with three financial institutions — Housing Finance of Kenya, Equity bank and Letshego Kenya Limited (formerly Micro Africa Ltd) — Victoria Courts allows its clients to take an item and pay for it within three years.

The store stocks premium furniture from dealers like the renowned French firm, Gautier.

Mr Teddy Kilonzi, the store’s marketing manager based at their Westlands branch, said that many clients who would have normally avoid the store because of its prohibitive prices now throng the shop to buy furniture.

“Our shop mainly accommodates Class A people, the kind of people who would not mind spending Sh1 million at a go, but we can offer the same pieces of furniture to a person who can only pay Sh5,000 a month for it through this credit facility,” he told DN2.

Mr Kilonzi says that any item that costs Sh3,000 and above can be bought on credit, meaning a client can pay as little as Sh200 a month.

While the facility has been in available for two years on a pilot basis, it was revealed to the public only early this year, and the response has been remarkable.

Mr Kilonzi says that, while he has not a counted the number of clients to get exact figures, the stores’ marketing department has reported an upsurge in sales, particularly of seats.

I have seen people come to buy a chair, coffee talbe, bed and wall hanging at a go, then calculate the installment for each, so that they pay Sh5,000 monthly installments for the lot.”

- Tony Kilonzi, Marketing Manager, Victoria Courts Mr Kilonzi has observed a trend that might explain the increased interest in their products.

“I have seen people come to buy chair, coffee table, bed and

wall hanging at go, then calculate the required installment for each, so that they they pay Sh5,000 monthly installments for the lot. For instance, the monthly installment for a table might be Sh245, that for a bed Sh 3,000, and the one for a chair Sh1,80, which enables them to get all the pieces at once,” he explained.

The shops stocks very environmentally friendly products made of recycled material, perhaps an indication that consumers want to conserve the environment.

The procedure for applying for the credit facility is simple.

Salaried customers provide a copy of identification, three months’

certified bank statements and three current payslips.

They are also required to produce an introduction letter from the employer and a recent passport-size photo.

In addition to the documents listed above, Equity bank requires a copy of the utility bill from salaried people while Letshego requires two guarantors, whose identification the customer must provide.

Self-employed clients provide all the aforementioned documents, with additional information on business registration or permit, the enterprise’s history, as well as a book of accounts.

sanitation

Toilets where you can read, eat, pray Dubbed biocentres, the complexes are one-stop shops for a host of services and businesses such as libraries, offices, computer labs and kitchens

BY JOHN MBARIA

dn2@ke.nationmedia.com

T

he residents of some slums in Nairobi and Kisumu, have come up with an innovative way of using toilets, making them more than a place for human waste disposal. At the toilets in these slums, you can read, hold weddings, prepare food, transfer cash and even pray.

The toilets in Lindi Usafi in Kibera, Nairobi, for instance, are an innovative sanitation solution to the pervasive human waste problem so common in the slums.

They are storied complexes that have drawn the attention of, and financial support from, among other agencies, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Dubbed bio-sanitation centres (or biocentres), the complexes are one-stop shops for a host of services and businesses: money transfer, offices, residential rooms, halls for hire, libraries, computer labs, kitchens (where clients pay a fee to cook), and bio-digesters that convert human waste into biogas and chemical fertiliser.

One notable feature of the toilets is that those managing them have adopted modern, cashless payment systems that require users to carry Beba pay cards and to embrace the Kopokopo payment system.

The fact that they rely on

mobile technology to conduct cash transactions attracted the attention Bill Gates, whose Foundation, has given them financial supported under the auspices of the Biocentres Innovations.

As the most important social and economic facilities in the slums, the biocentres have enabled the slum’s residents to organise and plan how to improve their conditions.

The pioneers of this trend are the residents of Lindi Usafi, located on the lower reaches of Kibera, who have come up with a well articulated plan for the area around their biocentre.

They formulated the Lindi Usafi Neighbourhood Plan in collaboration with a Kiberabased organisation, Umande Trust.

“The plan spells out the residents’ dream for a better neighbourhood and was prepared through a consultative process, during which they identified and articulated the main challenges affecting them,” explains Joyce Wambui, a town planner with Umande.

Some of the problems they identified were inadequate and unreliable water supply, poor sanitation, poor management of solid waste, insecurity, energy supply and accessibility.

The residents were then asked

The plan spells out the residents’ dream for a better neighbourhood and was prepared through a consultative process, during which they identified and articulated the main challenges affecting them.”

- Joyce Wambui, town planner with Umande

to prioritise them andthink of ways and means of solving these problems.

The plan offers a way out of each problem, indicating what should be done and by who, and also sets out an investment plan detailing the amounts

required. For instance, regarding sanitation it notes that Lindi Usafi has inadequate toilets, which overflow, and no space to build more Besides, many people cannot afford the daily charges for using the toilets while the communal latrines are not easily accessible to all residents, especially at night, because of insecurity.

The residents suggested several solutions, such as connecting the toilets to nearby sewer lines and getting a simple mechanised exhauster, said Ms Wambui.

“The most amazing thing is that local landlords have agreed to support the expansion of the roads in the neighbourhood so that fire engines and ambulances can have access, says Ms Benazir Omotto, a programme manager with Umande Trust.

Ms Omotto appealed to the county and national governments as well as well-wishers to assist in setting up a compensation scheme for the landlords to facilitate the expansion of the alleys.

“We believe that by coming together, we can change our neighbourhood,” says Adan Ndambuki, a resident of Lindi Usafi and one of the community’s designated “planning ambassadors”.

Together with five other young people, Ndambuki, 28, has been rallying fellow residents to support and participate in efforts aimed at improving life in the neighbourhood.

Some of the residents told DN2 that they intend to use the plan to seek financial and technical support from the national government, the Nairobi County government, NGOs and donors, to implement it. .They also hope that their member of the Nairobi County Assembly will help by lobbying for the adoption of the plan and the implementation of the suggested measures.

THE RAILWAY MUSEUM

WORD MAKER CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY

BY FELIX K. MAGEZI

He looked lonely, but I was already seated next to Dave, and Rod hadn’t been too friendly to me anyway, so I just looked ahead.

“I’ve never been to the Railway Museum,” Mato said, turning around.

“Have you ever heard of the man eating lions of Tsavo?” I asked.

“Sure,” Mato said. “I even saw the stuffed lions at the Field Museum in Chicago when my dad was studying in America.”

“Well, my dad told me one of the railway cars at the museum is the actual car where one of the man-eaters dragged out a railway worker and ate him.”

“Are you serious?” Mato said. “We get to see that actual railway car? This will be a great field trip!”

In Nairobi we drove past the Nairobi Railway Station and onto a back road, which wound behind the station. We could see old steam locomotives and diesel engines as well as railway cars on some rail sidings. We jumped off the bus. “We have a guide,” said Mr. Rayford, the school principal and standard six teacher. “He’ll show us around.”
