Cord mulls counter ICC prayer rallies teacher in rape saga given bond

TEMPORARY REPRIEVE: Highriodge Girls Secondary school teacher Hillary Okeyo at the Milimani Law Courts today.

T

he Opposition coalition Cord is considering launching its own ‘prayer rallies’ for Deputy President William Ruto and his co-accused Joshua Sang in what could turn out to be a battle for the United Republican Party (URP) leader.

The Jubilee alliance has held several prayer rallies for Ruto in recent weeks and sources say the rallies have turned out to be podiums for political rhetoric through which the ruling coalition continues to get the better of their rivals, at least politically.

Cord MPs who are involved in the planning of the prayer rallies say they are meant to counter the Jubilee brigade.

“We are not amused by the lies being peddled by Jubilee politicians in their prayer rallies. We must counter them,” a Cord lawmaker who requested not be named confided to X News.

The first of the series of the prayer rallies will be held in Nairobi before proceeding to Mombasa, Machakos, Nakuru and Uasin Gishu counties.

The Nairobi rally was already scheduled for Kibera’s Kamukunji grounds this weekend with Nairobi County ODM chairperson George Aladwa and Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati tasked with making arrangements for it.

Details of the plans are still scanty as the technical committee composed of senators and MPs are said to be fine-tuning the schedule.

Both Cord and Jubilee politicians have been trading barbs over claims of fixing Ruto at the International Criminal Court (ICC) with each side accusing the other of coaching witnesses.

The debate began when Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria claimed to have coached witnesses in the case against Ruto at a prayer rally for the DP in Mount Elgon.

Speaker Muturi halts vote on contested Bill Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi has postponed the final vote on the Powers and Privileges Bill which curtails reporting on Parliament.

He directed the House Business Committee to schedule another day when it will be voted on, in a last ditch effort to seek review, adding that the bill must be debated by the Senate since it had a net effect on both Houses.

Muturi, who had supported deletion of clause 27 which requires permission of the Speaker before electronic transmission of plenary or committee proceedings and clause 34 which creates the offence of defamation against Parliament, said the House needed to reconsider the offensive provisions to ensure they did not raise constitutional hurdles.

“In response to the points raised by the members, I would defer putting of the question in the Third Reading and refer this matter to the House Business Committee to make a decision after reflecting on all the issues as to when the question in Third Reading will be put,” said

STOPPED: National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi at a function at parliament buildings yesterday.

He has halted debate on a controversial Bill that gags the media.

Muturi.

National Assembly Leader of Majority Aden Duale who proposed the deferral said there was no consideration in passing the amendments and urged his colleagues to reject the bill to allow for a more elaborate one to be developed.

“This request is informed by the need to allow for further reflection on the contents of the bill and the

provision carried therein. It is indisputable that several provisions contained in the bill are offensive to the general rights and freedoms as espoused in the Constitution,” said Duale.

The move came amid protests from trade unions, journalists, the Media Council of Kenya and the clergy who have all asked President Kenyatta to reject the bill should it land

on his desk.

Senators have also vowed to shoot down the bill with Majority Leader Kindiki Kithure, saying it intends to amend the constitutional through the back door.

“We cannot sit back and watch the mutilation of the Constitution and erosion of media freedom in the name of protecting character,” he said.

MPs petition ASP over fake ICC witnesses’ The Foreign Affairs Ministry has received a petition asking the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to investigate the alleged ICC witnesses’ procurement and coaching.

The petition by Pokot South MP David Pkosing, which has been endorsed by 187 legislators wants the case against DP William Ruto and journalist Joshua Sang halted and witnesses’ recruitment process investigated.

The MPs want the president of the ASP to appoint an independent mechanism to audit the process used by the prosecutor to identify witnesses.

“Enclosed, please find the original petition and certified copies in respect of prayers by Members of Parliament of the Republic of Kenya to United Nations and the President of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) of the Rome Statute regarding the appointment of an independent mechanism

to audit the Prosecutors’ witness identification and recruitment process in the case of the Prosecutor V. William Samoei Ruto and Joshua Arap Sang and suspend the case against the two while awaiting determination of this independent audit,” the petition stated.

They also want a body formed to determine the impartiality of the process and look at the current allegations and revelations of procuring and coaching witnesses.

“Kindly and expeditiously forward the petition to the President of the Assembly of States Parties and the United Nations and secure an appointment with these institutions for physical presentation by the petitioner,” it stated.

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria had confessed that he and Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua allegedly procured and coached witnesses in the case against Ruto and Sang.

Rotich: Future KRA staff should be vetted

From Page 1 He named Cord leader Raila Odinga, Kisumu Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o and Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua as other individuals who also influenced ICC witnesses.

While Nyong’o has distanced himself with the claims, Odinga has fiercely hit back at Jubilee politicians, claiming they are the ones who nailed Ruto at The Hague.

As the row continues, Ruto has waded into the debate telling off the politicians.

Ruto said he can speak for himself and that he is able to defend himself at the ICC. Cord plans to unleash the names of persons they claim participated in the fixing of Ruto at the Hague-based court. Already, a team of ICC crusaders, most of whom are believed to be human rights activists, have been assembled and tasked with countering the fixation claims from Jubilee politicians.

Findings of Sh550 theft in Parliament due next week: Muturi

Future officials of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will have to be vetted just like police officers to avoid loss of money through fraudulent means, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has said.

Rotich made the revelations yesterday when he appeared before the Parliamentary Budget and Appropriations Committee.

Responding to questions from the committee members on what measures the government is taking to ensure tax collected by KRA get to the right place, Rotich said all officials will be vetted to increase collection through taxes.

“What measures are you putting in place to ensure that nobody escapes the tax net: asked Mary Emase the deputy chairperson of the Budget and Appropriation Committee?

Findings of the investigations over alleged loss of more than Sh550 million in Parliament are expected to be released next week, Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi has said.

Muturi said the investigations are still going on and the public will know next week what transpired in the alleged loss of money.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) launched investigations into the alleged loss of money in Parliament through fraudulent procurement by staff.

After receiving confidential information on the suspicious transactions, Muturi called on DCI to investigate the allegations.

Addressing the press yesterday at Parliament Buildings during the

“In future we will vet all KRA officials just the way National Police Service Commission does to police officers to get qualified people with integrity to help the government collect more money,” said Rotich.

He said there has been weak audits by KRA on transfer pricing, the manner in which multi-nationals manage their costs in such a way that some

money is paid to entities abroad.

KRA audits such companies to ensure the money paid is not merely an excuse for avoidance of taxes.

Large retailers and wholesalers and landlords are also bound to feel the tightening of the taxman’s net after the Rotich said KRA would be asked to get them into tax bracket.

Officers from the DCI on Tuesday checked the Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) as up to Sh550 million cannot be accounted for.

It is alleged that Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has lost millions to graft, with named suppliers paid irregularly in the past three years.

Five companies, that are suspected to be linked to officers from Parliament, are said to have been paid a total of Sh42 million in fraudulent deals.

Kaimenyi blames managers for university student unrests Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi has blamed university managements for the escalating students’ unrest in the institutions of higher learning.

Kaimenyi told the school management to keep off students affairs such as elections to avoid ugly scenes witnessed in universities.

“The chaos we see in our learning institutions has something to do with the way our universities are managesd the best thing the management can do is to keep off students’ affairs,” he said.

The Cabinet Secretary made the remarks at the sidelines of the launch of Kenya Federation of UNESCO clubs, centres and associations in Nairobi. His sentiments com-

ing only a day after Maseno University was shut down following endless confrontation between students and the police that led to the death of two students.

The students blamed the administration for interfering with the Students’ Organisation of Maseno University elections by barring specific students from contesting while fronting their preferred candidates, a situation the students said raised tension within the main campus for two weeks.

Management interference with students’ elections has been widely pointed out as the main cause of violence.

During this years’ University of Nairobi elections, the management was widely accused

of being against the candidature of Babu Owino a position which raised tension in the campus leading to the death of some students.

Babu during campaigns warned the administration against interfering with the students’ elections, saying such a move would trigger violence in the institution.

“I want to warn the school management to desist from interfering with the student’s elections.

These are affairs of the student and they should be allowed to do it freely without interference,” he said early this year.

In July this year, Moi University, Main Campus, was indefinitely closed following a students’ election that turned violent pitting two ri-

State to enhance cheap medical care, says CS Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia (pictured) has affirmed the government’s commitment to enhance accessible and cheap medical care across the country.

Speaking during the launch of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the government and Norvitas Access International at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Macharia welcomed the company’s support for the ongoing fight against non-communicable diseases (NCD) in the country.

“I would like to thank Norvitas for recognising Kenya as an important partner and for launching this project in the country. With this implementation, our people shall benefit from cheap medical access on NCDs and

will no longer seek treatment overseas” said the CS. The programme is set to roll out in the next three months to enhance the distribution of medicine, raise disease awareness and strengthen healthcare system capabilities in key NCDs. NCDS such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory illnesses and cancer have been termed the lead killer diseases in Kenya. On the same, the diseases are expensive to treat because most medical facilities in the country do not have the capacity to handle them. KNH has been overwhelmed admitting more than 120,000 patient annually with either of the NCDs being the only national referral hospital.

Norvitas International chairman Dr. Joerg Reinhardt applauded Kenya’s commitment to enhance cheap medical access as one of the measures to achieve the recently UNadopted SDGs. He called on stakeholders to come in handy to formulate policies that shall effect the programme.

Director of medical services Dr Nicholas Muraguri described the move as a great milestone in the fight against the killer diseases, adding that the diseases come with a sizeable share of disability and anguish hence a serious setback to social economic growth. The programme will ensure patients will get a reduced medical cost from the USD 500 per treatment to a USD 1 per patient per month by the year 2016.

val groups. Several students at the campus say the battle of several top seats in the MUSO leadership saw students rally

behind two main communities in the University during the campaign period.

Students’ Organistion is rec-

ognised in the Universities Act 2012 as part of the seven university management structures thus need to be allowed to play its outlined roles independently without intimidation or interference.

Education officials say that a number of powerful politicians are former student leaders and most students therefore view the elections as an opportunity to climb to the national politics a factor which raises stakes in the elections.

External influence have also been blamed on the chaos witnessed during university elections as some politicians are keen to front their preferred candidates which will in turn help them to push their political agenda.

Sh100bn debt stalls project to upgrade city estates

NEWS BRIEFS

AP spokesman, Mwinyi among senior cops fired in graft purge Administration Police (AP) spokesman Masoud Mwinyi is among the 63 senior police officers sacked after the vetting of Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs), Superintendents of police (SPs), Assistant Superintendents of police (ASPs) and the Internal Affairs Unit by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC).

The police officers were found unsuitable to serve the in the force after vetting unearthed massive corruption allegations against them.

Addressing the media yesterday, NPSC chairman Johnston Kavuludi said the vetting has brought to the fore the “complex corruption networks” and the interface between junior officers and their seniors. Through a scrutiny of Mpesa statements, the Commission was able to establish that junior officers in the traffic department regularly transferred fixed amounts of money to some of their seniors. It also emerged that most M-Pesa kiosks within and around police stations are either owned or contracted by police offices for purposes of facilitating direct money transfers to cover their tracks. The depositors are mostly motorists or junior officers making transfers to their seniors.

Nairobi estates upgrading project has stalled as a result of a Sh100 billion debt that the National Treasury owes the county, Governor Evans Kidero has said.

He said the 23, 000 housing units projects meant to increase the number of houses available for the bulging population in the city require about Sh120 billion.

Kidero who appeared before the Senate Committee on Transport to respond to questions over the housing project said if they county is paid the money, they would start the construction of the units without getting a bank loan.

“We will be able to do this without getting a commercial loan if we were to get this money.

The interest rates on loans are really high now,” he said. He said the county government is owed a total Sh106 billion for various services offered before and after the devolved system came in place.

The county’s estimations shows that the city’s population will be up from 4 million people this year to 14 million in 2050 making it necessary to establish more affordable housing units in anticipation of the rising numbers.

Kidero told the committee that the units will be made affordable for rental services and for residents who will be interested to buy.

Estates that are earmarked for the construction of new units are Pangani, Ngara, Uhuru, Woodley

Committee members to push the Treasury to settle the debt to enable them to kick-start the project they termed timely, saying it would help solve the housing crisis in the capital city.

Turkana MPs call for Nakok’s impeachment over graft claims Six legislators from Turkana County have called on the MCAs to impeach their Governor Josephat Nanok for alleged misappropriation of county funds. Addressing a press conference in Nairobi, the legislators led by Turkana County Parliamentary caucus Christopher Nakuleu, said the governor had presided over mass corruption and misuse of county resources.

“Our governor has been running the county like a personal shop without consulting elected area leaders,” said Nakuleu.

“We are not amused with the state of affairs in our county, the governor is extremely arrogant and corrupt even his character; we are extremely tired of this man” added Nakuleu. Nakuleu, who is also Turkana North MP said the county has lagged behind in development despite behind

EU launches programme to monitor counties spending The European Union has launched a programme to monitor spending by County Governments to improve governance systems in the country.

The programme dubbed “Strengthening the capacities of State and nonState actors for effective devolved governance in Kenya”, was launched yesterday and will be implemented in three phases at Sh118 million for the first selected 10 counties which include, Mombasa, Kilifi, Tana River, Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Nakuru, Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot.

EU deputy head of cooperation in Kenya Bruno Pozzi said one of the ways to ensure accountability and transparency is to scrutinise budgets and development plans of counties. He advised civil societies to find ways to ensure the functions of counties are not duplicated to also save of how money is spent. Pozzi said public awareness is essential in

governance since citizens can monitor keenly what projects their governments have embarked on.

“Without the involvement of citizens in ensuring checks and balances, we will see more overpriced wheelbarrows, more damning reports by the Controller of Budget, not much change in service delivery and in the end, growing animosity against county authorities and the devolution set-up as a whole,” he said. County governments across the country have been accused of massive wastage of public funds and failure to involve the public in key decision-making processes thus the need for the programme funded by German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar who was present at the event, termed the initiative a blessing to the devolution process and called for speedy implementation.

Poaching boost as China bans sale of ivory The fight against poaching especially in the Africa has received a boost after China issued a one year ban on import of African elephant ivory acquired as hunting trophies.

The embargo which begins immediately and continues until October 2next year is aimed at ending illegal ivory trade.

In February, China introduced a one year ban on imports of African ivory carvings acquired in accordance to the 1975 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) established to ensure international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of species in the world. The announcement comes after China President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Barack Obama promised to take timely steps to halt the domestic commercial trade of ivory in an agreement between the two countries which seeks to nearly complete bans on ivory imports and exports, including restrictions on the import of ivory as hunting trophies in their respective countries.

The latest move has received credit from various quarters with Grade Ge Gabriel, Asia Regional Director

of International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), terming it a concrete step to fulfill President Xi’s pledge to ban ivory trade in China.

An official from the State Forestry Administration of China said the new ban demonstrates the importance attached to wildlife conservation by the government and is a proactive action to end poaching and trafficking of African elephant.

“The series of actions taken by China, including an ivory crush and ivory import ban, will support demand reduction efforts through stigmatising ivory consumption,” said the official. Grade Ge Gabriel, however said the one-year time frame gives wildlife criminals hope that the ban will be lifted.

“To truly defame ivory trade, these timelines on ivory carving and trophy import bans should be removed.

Only by having clear and unequivocal laws banning ivory trade combined with vigorous enforcement and meaningful penalties can attach stigma to ivory trade,” he said.

It is estimated that 35,000 elephants are killed annually for the ivory, making the trade one of the world’s most lucrative criminal activities, valued at US$19billion annually.

The government will cater for expenses for more than 500 delegates expected to attend the World Trade Organisation summit in Nairobi in December.

“We have committed a budget of more than Sh200 million to cater for the accommodation and transport expenses of the about 300 hundred delegates, who will be hosted in our hotels here in Nairobi,” the CS said.

She said Kenya is expected to meet the cost of accommodation for 170 officials of the World Trade Organisation secretariat.

The government has identified Intercontinental and Serena hotels to host the summit delegates.

“The WTO secretariat will be accommodated at the intercontinental hotel and Serena hotel which will be hosting the 155 delegates from the least developed countries LDCs,” revealed Amina.

She said 5000 delegates are expected, but about 1000 have confirmed attendance.

First, the fall in energy prices caused by the collapse in the oil price has acted in much the same way as a tax cut. Second, the European Central Bank has been conducting quantitative easing – creating money to buy financial assets – since March. Among other things this has kept the euro weak, helping the traded sectors of euro-zone economies.

Hope for new jobs as Kenya’s economy expected to grow

Kenya’s economy is expected to grow at 5.4 per cent in 2015, recording an improvement over the 2014 growth rate of 5.3 per cent, according to a new World Bank Group economic report released yesterday.

The growth rate in 2016 is projected to be 5.7 per cent.

The report, dubbed the Kenya Economic Update (KEU), attributes the growth to government investment in infrastructure as well as strong consumer demand.

Experts have cited a number of benefits with regard to economic growth, including higher incomes, which enable consumers to enjoy more goods and services and enjoy better standards of living and lower unemployment, brought about by higher output firms that tend to employ more workers creating more jobs.

Economic growth has also been linked to lower government borrowing as it creates higher tax revenues.

Economic growth plays a role in the development of improved public services.

With increased tax revenues, the government can spend more on vital social amenities

such as health services and education.

“Kenya has the potential to become one of the best performing economies in Sub-Sahara Africa and also among middle income countries,” said World Bank’s country director Diarietou Gaye.

“Managing the challenges emerging from the current global economic environment will enable the government to deliver on the promise of a more prosperous future for Kenyans.”

The World Bank said Kenya’s economic performance remains solid, though the uncertainty facing global currencies is causing volatility in the domestic money and foreign exchange markets.

“The current expansionary fiscal path presents a risk to growth,” said senior economist and the lead author of the KEU John Randa.

“Although heavy infrastructure spending is a boon for Kenya’s production space and future growth, the short- to medium-term macro-fiscal framework is vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks.”

The World Bank has said Kenya’s economy is expected to grow at 5.4 per cent giving jobless youths hope that in the next financial year, they will be engaged in meaningful activities coming from the opportunities created by the growth to improve their living standards.

The KEU also focuses on the considerable progress that county governments, with the support of the National agencies make to engage citizens in bid to strengthen service delivery at local levels.

Constitutional and legal provisions for transparency, accountability, and public participation are key elements of devolution.

The World Bank Group supports programmes to improve the capacity of county service providers in public financial management, planning, public participation, monitoring and evaluation.

“County governments have prioritised the setting up of structures and systems to facilitate public

participation,” said senior social development specialist Christopher Finch.

“Strengthening citizens’ participation through participatory and inclusive processes is critical to the success of devolution.”

The KEU was prepared by the World Bank Group in partnership with the National Treasury and members of

the Economic Roundtable, which includes the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, the Central Bank of Kenya, Kenya Revenue Authority, Kenya Vision 2030, the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis, International Monetary Fund, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, among other agencies.

KTB in fresh bid to woo tourists in Europe ahead of peak season The Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) has trained 70 travel agents to market the country in Italy as part of ongoing tourism recovery efforts as Kenya’s peak tourism season beckons.

Speaking at the just concluded TTG Incontri 2015 tourism fair, KTB director of marketing Jacinta Nzioka said there is renewed interest in Kenya as

a destination among Italians.

She said KTB had embarked on a concerted marketing drive targeting Italy, geared to proactively addressing the needs of that specific market.

“It is important for us to remind Italy that Kenya cares about this market. The Italian tour operators are extremely committed to the destination,” said Nzioka.

The training included

sensitisation on e-visa processing and various unique attraction of Kenya as a travel destination. KTB also briefed the operators on the ‘Make It Kenya’ campaign launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta during the Milan Expo last month.

The TTG Incontri is the biggest Business-to-Business (B2B) event in Italian

tourism market. Secretary of State to the Italian Culture and Tourism Ministry Francesca Barracciu, who opened the fair, met the Kenyan delegation. Kenya Airways, Narok and Kilifi counties representatives, as well as several local hoteliers and tour operators participated in the fair which attracted over 60,000 participants.

Safaricom launches anti-cash loss M-Pesa feature Safaricom has launched a new feature dubbed hakikisha in its M-Pesa system to curb cash loss to wrong recipients.

M-Pesa users will now have to ascertain the names of persons they are sending money to, saving them the agony of losing funds to wrong recipients.

The new initiative which translates to

“make sure” has been in its pilot phase for a month now and will be rolled out in more phases leading up to October 30, 2015.

“It will ensure that customers no longer lose money to unintended recipients as a result of making a mistake while entering a number,” Safaricom said in a statement,

noting that customers will automatically be opted into the service which is free.

The pop-up feature will also apply when customers are making payments to Lipa Na M-PESA (PayBill option) and while making agent withdrawals.

It was an honour performing with Morgan Heritage.. They are legends that we all love. Their music is very conscious, timeless and their performance is of international standards.

The organisation of the event was also quite impressive, from the stage set up to the artiste line-up Your performance at Extravaganza 2015 was outstanding and appealed to the audience despite the fact that you are not a reggae artiste, how do you manage to achieve this?

Thank you. I always aim at giving my best in every performance, no matter how big or small the audience is. My band and dancers are amazing and always give their best as well. I think it’s not about the genre of music but it is in the delivery of the performance.

Is it true that you have shaved off your dreadlocks and now don a bald look?

Lol! No, I haven’t shaved. I had taken a picture from an angle that made me look bald and since I like engaging with my fans and getting their opinions on different things , I posted it on my Instagram asking if I should shave my dreads or `not. The reactions were very interesting! Many said I should not dare shave, and a few thought it would not be a bad idea to change my look, others thought I had already shaved. However, I have not shaved my dreads and will not shave anytime soon.

How have you managed to stay relevant in the music industry over the years?

I see my music journey as a marathon not a sprint. I pace myself and try and keep reading my target audience as I continue creating new music. I try to find ways to keep reinventing

my brand to keep being fresh yet consistent. I thank God for the love that my diehard fans have shown me over the years.

Looking at the music industry now, would you say it’s at its peak or some work still needs to be done?

We have definitely grown and come a long way, however it definitely needs more work. I think there is a lot of fresh young talent that needs more guidance on music direction.

We have a lot of competition and we need to be more innovative on ways to connect better with our target audience and market. The relationship between producer and artiste is very important, where they work hard together to identify the right formula to connect with their target market.

Other stake holders also need to play their part in contributing to the growth of this industry. It pains me when I see stakeholders fighting each other instead of building each other.

This is our industry and we can’t own any other industry but ours. So let’s make this work.

As a pioneer artiste, what is your opinion of the MCSK, KAMP and PRISK partnership?

The partnership between the three CMOs is very important.

Collectively, they will give one license and collect from the music users then later separate the collections and distribute the funds to all the different right holders. This will thus reduce confusion, mistrust and resistance.

What is your source of inspiration?

The society I live in is my inspiration.

I am inspired by what I see or hear or feel within my surroundings.

What are you currently working on?

And with whom?

I am doing a lot of recordings with many different producers and collaborating with different artistes from all over the region

SHOPPING

We are quickly approaching the end of the year and if you have still stuck to your fitness routine then chances are you need to replenish your Workout clothes. here are a feW tips to help you get the best.

What to look out for When buying Workout gear Wicking and layering If you’re going to be perspiring a lot in your workouts, make sure the exercise apparel that you buy has a base layer to keep you dry and comfortable. Looking for a polyester and Lycra blend as well as other synthetic material in this case is a good idea because these materials keep you warm in the cold weather and cool in the hot season. If you prefer natural materials, wool and bamboo exercise clothes naturally wick away moisture too. Ensure you leave the store having bought a moisture-absorbent top, a warm fleece pullover and a protective outer layer such as a windbreaker or a nylon shell.

Perfect fit If you have decided to start working out to melt away excess weight, you might be tempted to hide beneath baggy workout clothing so as to feel more confident about yourself. However, it is better

to purchase an outfit that fits comfortably on you and plays up your assets. Remember, if you feel good about yourself, you’ll be inclined to exercise more often. Besides, some workouts are rigorous and the baggy outfits will get in the way of your movements. Baggy pants aren’t practical for cycling or spinning, and flowing tops won’t keep your body hidden away when you do downward yoga. Consider the activities you do most, and make sure the clothes you buy are comfortable and practical.

Although clothing trends have changed for workout wear, the basics never go out of style so stock up on those vintage black yoga pants that are both fitting and timeless.

Technological advancements Many new workout outfits have been modified to feature antimicrobial additions to combat odor, while others have fused in ultra-violet protection to fight the sun’s harmful rays for outdoor

workouts.

Technology has also brought us luminescent material to help keep you visible for your safety on the road if you exercise after dark. If you love nature workouts such as hiking, opt for clothing that contain insect repelling properties.

Comfort Avoid buying any rough fabrics that could chafe or irritate your skin during rapid movement.

Choose materials that don’t constrict motion and consider the aspect of fit over size. This is important because some workout clothes tend to be smaller and more form fitting than regular clothes. Still on comfort, pick outfits that have minimal spandex percentage (you will find this listed on the label.) This allows for a greater range of motion during exercise and provides a comfortable fit without being skin-tight.

If you prefer natural materials, wool and bamboo exercise clothes naturally wick away moisture too.

STREETSMART The last quarter of the year is usually known for weddings. When you are seated as a guest, there is a lot of expectation directed to the couple. On the flip side, we have the bridal party and all those involved to make the day a success.

BUSINESS 11 WEEKEND EDITION, OCTOBER 16-18, 2015

Rich Kenyans, poor planning to blame for rise urban slums Wealthy Kenyans and poor planning are to blame for the rise of slums and dilapidated urban facilities in the country, a recent report published days after a summit in New York to discuss their commitment to the new sustainable millennium development goals has revealed.

The government, the private sector and many corporate entities have contributed to the city’s ill-conceived infrastructure, a system of roads, networks and real estate that only caters to the rising middle class and the elite.

Despite the fact that Nairobi generates at least half of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the city is notorious for its unemployed youth and significant poverty.

Even though the rural counties are poorer, Nairobi, which is by far the most developed, is plagued by squalor and destitution, argue Jacqueline Klopp, Associate Research Scholar at the Centre for Sustainable Urban Development and Jeffrey Paller, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the US-based Columbia University.

The duo has reported evident scarcity in affordable housing units both in Nairobi and other urban areas. “As Africa’s cities grow, the challenge will be to provide adequate services and equitable access to its opportunities,” said the researchers.

They cited gaps between the infrastructure services actually needed and the services that exist. One result of this gap is an affordable housing crisis, responsible for the expansion of slums that often exist near expensive gated communities and suburban areas.

Banking data firm in fibre upgrade ahead El Niño Liquid Telecom, the country’s banking data firm, that also keeps ATMs working and transactions flowing and provide bandwidth to many local telcos has completed a twomonth project to protect its network ahead of the anticipated El Niño rains.

“We launched an intensive contingency project as soon as the El Nino reports were announced,” said Liquid Telecom chief executive Ben Roberts, adding that they ae aware of the disruption signal failure can cause and have worked at three levels to ensure the best possible service through any storms and flooding ahead.

The move is to ensure all its customers switch data flows seamlessly in the event of a disruption, instant power back up at all hub sites and relocated fibre and equipment in high risk areas, in an exercise that involved more than 100 field staff and contractors.

“The contingency measures fully cover the Nairobi East and West regions, Western, Central and Coast regions,” said the firm’s head of field operations and maintenance Fredrick Okello.

To man the 1,591km of cable spanning from Malindi to Malaba, Okello now has a field team of 100 people consisting of Liquid Telecom staff and local contractors.

The majority of Liquid Telecom’s fibre network - which includes the biggest independent data network in Kenya - is underground, running beside highways as a national backbone. The standard depth of the fibre is over 1 metre, keeping it safe from most water. Modern-day

Sweden could soon become world first cashless society

Sweden could soon beat Kenya in becoming the world’s first exclusively cashless society.

While Kenya leads the globe in the adoption of mobile cash transfers, the public is still obsessed with paper money. Sweden, on the other hand, is moving away from paper currency. A number of western nations prefer the use of credit and debit cards, a trend which Kenya is also adopting, albeit in a slow and not so steady manner. Meanwhile, digital payments in Sweden have become so popular that attempting a paper money transaction at a Swedish bank has become somewhat suspicious. Recent studies have confirmed that Sweden is on its way to becoming the world’s first cash-free society, according to Niklas Arvidsson, a professor at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Arvidsson has blamed the disappearance of Swedish banknotes on the country’s adoption of new technologies, the growth of mobile payment systems, and a governmental crackdown on corruption.

Kenya Power to add 20MW clean energy to national grid

Liquid Telecom Kenya chief executive Ben Roberts presents ICT Authority boss Victor Kyalo with a Sh2.74 million sponsorship cheque. The company said they have upgraded their fibre in readiness for El Nino rains.

fibre also benefits from advanced waterproof coatings. However, severe flooding can sometimes see splice enclosures (where stripped fibre is fused and sealed from contamination) fail to keep water away from the fibre.

This has seen the company relocate fibre cable from high risk areas, particularly those at risk from river flooding. It has also reinforced bridge attachments over the Nyali Bridge and the River Nzoia, Yala, Nyando, Sondu, Chania and Voi, relocating cables away from construction sites, where the soil is disturbed

and can more easily be washed away by flood waters. Where soil erosion is a major risk, gabions, or earth supporting walls, have been built to protect the cable.

“It has been an intensive exercise,” said Okello, who has visited sites across the country, along the length of the Mombasa Road, and in Muranga, Karatina, Embu, Mwea and Western Kenya. “In Kisii, we have created two routes, one overhead and another underground. In Nyeri Hill, we have ensured there is no compromised cable depth.

Male entrepreneurs work for luxury while women for community growth, reveals study Men start businesses for the sake of prestige and luxury while women do it to make a difference in their community, a new study has revealed.

When it comes to entrepreneurship, men, it seems, are mostly influenced by their spouses, market opportunity and the business role models in their lives.

For male entrepreneurs, success is defined as being able to accumulate resources for investment, improve their status in society and provide for their family beyond the basics,

BIZ BRIEFS

says a research done by Strathmore University.

According to the study, men want to afford luxuries, make more money, diversify into other businesses and build a brand. Women, on the other hand, start a business to obtain a better work-life balance, as a hobby and most of all, to make a difference and change the mind-set of the community about women’s ability to run successful businesses.

The research, titled ‘Gender and Enterprise Development in Kenya’ was led by Prof Ruth

Kiraka, Dr. David Wang’ombe and Dr. Hellen Otieno.

The study sought to examine the nature of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE’s) that male and female entrepreneurs in Kenya engaged in, analyse genderspecific factors and constraints that influence their growth and performance and identify key gender-specific policies and institutional arrangements that could shape innovation, productivity, growth and performance of Kenyan MSE’s.

On accessing credit, factors

that increased access to loans included being a member of a business association, boasting a high number of paid employees, having a business bank account, a registered business, being in highend enterprises (transport, telecom and manufacturing sectors), access to collateral, and for female entrepreneurs, being married.

The study, conducted between 2013 and 2014, sampled 2,022 entrepreneurs, 52.3 percent of who were male and 47.7 per cent female.

Kenya Power will add 20.8 Megawatts (MW) of renewable energy to the national grid in a bid to improve service delivery, reduce reliance on existing sources of fuel and drive down the cost of electricity for consumers.

The country’s total installed generation capacity currently stands at 2,298MW, company managing director Ben Chumo said. To achieve this feat, Kenya Power has signed power purchase agreements with biomass, solar, mini-hydro and wind micro-plants located in Kwale, Nairobi, Kajiado and Meru. Under the new deals, Kwale International Sugar Company in Coast Region will provide 10MW from its biomass-fired power plant while OlNdanyat Power Limited will provide 10MW from their wind power plant at Kona Baridi in Kajiado County. Chumo said these renewable sources of energy will reduce Kenya’s overrreliance of fossil fuel which, thereby reducing the cost of electricity for customers and the economy at large.

African coffee houses face stiff competition from Starbucks firm African-based coffee houses will face stiff competition from Starbucks, a global retailer that has become synonymous with the coffee-drinking culture which has taken Kenya by storm. The franchise has announced plans to branch further into Africa. Starbucks, a US-based company with operations in North and South America, Australia and the UK, already has a presence in Egypt. The coffee giant is making plans to set up shop in South Africa and may even move into East Africa, experts have speculated. “Starbucks is coming to the continent next year, choosing South Africa as the first location,” said a recent report from Quartz, a product of Atlantic Media.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20

If you’re in the mood for love, remember to be sensitive to your partner’s needs and give lots of love in return. Don’t forget that the old standbys of champagne and chocolate still work! Or a warm bubble bath - that’s sure to relieve any tension.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 19 A woman, perhaps your mother, could visit you today. She may not be in a great mood, so perhaps you’d better take her out in public where she’ll have to maintain some self-control. If not, you could set yourself up for a scolding over something that seems inconsequential. It’s probably not you.

TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20 Perhaps an accident or road construction is blocking the street. It may be nearly impossible to get anywhere by car, even the grocery store. If you must go out, either walk or ride a bike or it might take an hour to do what would normally take a few minutes. Better yet - stay home!

GEMINI May 21 - Jun 21 You’re romantic by nature, but today you’re probably more interested in sensuality than roses and champagne. Even the idea of inviting seduction seems too insipid right now. You’re more inclined to action. This is OK your lover is in the same frame of mind. Use your intuition to judge.

CANCER Jun 22 - Jul 21 You could spend much of the morning daydreaming, formulating outrageous plans to escape what you see as a rut. While doing this you might discover an idea that’s not only appealing but also workable. Consider it carefully over the next few days. You might want to go for it!

LEO Jul 23- Aug 22 Tension may have built up through the week and now there may be no outlet for it. If you aren’t careful, you might take it out on those closest to you. Go for a workout or clean the house. Engage in any kind of physical activity and get the endorphins going so you can feel good again.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sep 21 Was there a task you wanted to have completed by now that was delayed for reasons beyond your control? Don’t obsess over it. It isn’t your fault, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Find something else to do so that thoughts of this chore don’t creep in. Better yet, go out with a friend.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22 Over the past few years you’ve been aware that both you and your chosen life path are changing.

This hasn’t always been easy for you, because it sometimes means saying goodbye to parts of yourself that you’re rather fond of. Today the tension of the past week may get to you.

SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21 Don’t be surprised if what the speaker says turns out to be more hot air than useful information. He or she is probably more interested in venting feelings than presenting the facts. Opinions can be valuable, too, so listen. Take it all with a grain of salt until you’ve checked out the facts.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 The dreams probably represent nothing more than your unconscious mind releasing the darkest of your worries, fears, and frustrations that you’ve been going through over the past week. A closer study of what the symbols mean to you could be enlightening. Write them down!

MUSTREAD Book Review-So Long a Letter — by Mariam Ba

So long a letter is an exploration of the inequality between men and women in Senegal. Ramatoulaye, the main character, writes a letter to her longtime friend Aissatou who lives in America.

She writes the letter during the stipulated mourning period for her husband who has just passed on as a means of distraction.

Ramatoulaye reminisces her days with Aissatou as young girls in school, moving on to their grown up lives as wives and mothers. She also touches on the issues of betrayal, as both their husbands took in second wives years after their original marriages. Aissatou opted to divorce her husband but Ramatoulaye stayed with her husband and co-wife until he died of a heart attack.

the heels of another retrogressive land bills seeking to transfer the powers vested in the National Land Commission to Lands Cabinet Secretary.

Kenyans must rise up to defend what is rightfully theirs because our representatives in the name of MPs have gone berserk.

Public cash pilferage indictment to IFMIS The recent cash crunch and various embezzlements of funds claims has left majority of Kenyans in fear of a wretched economy despite remarkable promises of a double digit growth.

The government’s series of huge projects including the

Standard Gauge Railways (SGR), restructuring of the public service for sufficient service delivery saw the birth of Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), an initiative of the National Treasury to help plan, budget, procure

and manage the tax payers’ coffers. The automated system has been challenged as a flop after various allegations of fund misappropriation by both in National and county government agencies.

Bill seeking to gag media height of impunity MPs think they will remain in their current positions for life going with the latest move to pass a bill that seeks to outlaw and punish any negative reporting against Parliament.

This bill clearly depicts MPs attempts to shield themselves from public scrutiny so that they can freely loot the country. Come next election and they find themselves in the opposition,

will they need the media monitoring the conduct of government officials? If the MPs do not want the media to air and report on sensitive debates then they should engage in topics and behaviours which build the country not destroy it.

Raila ICC sentiments headache to Jubilee

Jubilee leaders yapped all over the country with prayer rallies daring Cord leader Raila Odinga to go and record statement over the claims of procuring ICC witnesses Deputy President William Ruto, when the former premier responded and in a big way, all Jubilee leaders

were sent scampering and scattering before going mute.

After a day or two, details have begun emerging. It is easy now to tell the panic mode within Jubilee ranks.

This will mark the end of the ICC prayers rallies with a new propaganda team being deployed to discredit Raila’s

statement which linked Jubilee government with the fixing claim, the ruling coalition is indeed in damage control gimmick. My advice to the Jubilee coalition is to follow Raila’s conditions to that latter and finish the ICC debate.

Tight fixtures for Volleyball champs, Pipeline in Kapsabet WEEKEND EDITION, OCTOBER 16-18, 2015

A busy day awaits Kenya Pipeline women’s volleyball club in Kapsabet today with four league matches lined up on the final day of the regular season.

Pipeline has only played a single league match this season after a number of their players were involved in the national team assignment, leaving them with a congested fixture on the last day of the regular season which concludes today to pave way for next month’s national playoffs in Mombasa.

The defending champions will have a tricky fixtures against league leaders Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Oserian, Bungoma County and Kenya Academy of Sport (KAS). After Kapsabet, Pipeline will then play their remaining three matches against Nairobi Water, MKU and Nairobi Queens in Nairobi.

Pipeline coach Japheth Munala will approach the

Bungoma County volleyball team and Pipeline in action during their last league match. Pipeline have four matches today at Kapsabet in Nandi County ahead of next month’s playoffs.

matches without two of his dependable players-Esther Wangeci who is on trials in France and Captain Ruth Jepng’etich still recovering

from illness.

“We have a depleted squad, but we must honour the fixtures,” said Munala who was elevated to the senior

national team head coach early this month.

Another side which was affected by the national team calendar, is Kenya Prisons

though the side eased some pressure off their shoulder when they participated in the Eldama Ravine leg and they will only have Mount Kenya University to square things up with in a must-win match to progress to the playoffs.

Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) must snatch at least a point in their crunch opening match against Forest Rangers and beat MKU by straights to progress to the playoffs.

KDF and Rangers both have 25 points and while the soldiers are above on fourth, a slip against the loggers in the first match may dent their chances of making the trip to Mombasa should Co Operative Bank who are waiting for a slight mess from the two sides ahead of them with only two points grab the three points against Nairobi Water.

Leaders Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) who will be hosting the play off at Makande Hall has already qualified to the finals .

Pistorius to be set free on Tuesday Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, who was jailed for killing his girlfriend will be freed from prison to house arrest next Tuesday, a South African parole board has said.

He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2014 after being found guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter for shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door when he mistook her for an intruder.

The prosecution has appealed, saying he should instead be convicted of murder. That case is expected to be heard on November 3. Pistorius has spent 12 months in jail and will now spend the rest of his sentence under what is termed in South Africa “correctional supervision”, the parole board said. An earlier decision to release him in August was blocked

by South Africa’s Justice Minister Michael Masutha, who said it had been made “prematurely”.

Litmus test for Klopp as Spurs come calling Liverpool new manager Jurgen Klopp will take charge of his first English Premier League match at White Hart Lane when the Reds visit Tottenham on Sunday.

Klopp, former Borussia Dortmund manager joined Liverpool last week and will be welcomed to the EPL by the Spurs, who are unbeaten in the league in their last eight matches, separated by a single point with their host.

After picking only three points in their opening four fixtures, Spurs made amends to their poor start which has seen them drop only two of the available 12 points in their last four matches including their 4-1 win over leaders Manchester City three weeks ago. A win for Mauricio Pochettino’s side will see them climbe t o second from eighth on the log.

Klopp who is accredited with transforming Dortmund from the middle table team to a Bundesliga title favorites, has inherited a Liverpool side that boast of only two wins in their last eight matches. Liverpool are currently 10th with 12 points.

Liverpool has won their last five league meetings between the two sides - the first time they have achieved that feat since 1976, but neither side has ever won six in a row.

Indeed, Spurs have not lost six in a row against any side since Newcastle United between 2006-08, although they have shipped 18 goals in the previous five meetings, scoring just four themselves.

The Reds have won 5-0 and 3-0 on their last two visits to White Hart Lane, but the latest clash between these two was a much closer affair as Mario Balotelli’s only league goal f o r

Liverpool handed them a 3-2 win in February. None of Liverpool’s goalscorers in that match are still with the club.

Champions Chelsea will be hoping to turn things around when they face is equally panting as they faces Aston Villa at Home.

The Blues has had the worst opening season. Manager Jose Mourinho who termed his ban by FA as ‘ridiculous’ will be going all out for his third win of the season against Villa side that completes the top three list of relegation side at the bottom end of the table. A slip up for Mourinho side, 16th on the log with only eight points from eight matches will drop them on the relegation zone.

Second placed Arsenal will tackle Watford as Manchester United, third with 16 points, same as Arsenal take on Everton at Old Trafford. Leaders Man City will be up against Bournemouth.

AK sets stiffer marathon policy ahead of Rio 2016 Athletics Kenya (AK) has introduced a firm-policy ahead the Rio Olympics to salvage the country’s dimming glory in marathon events reclaim back their supremacy.

The timely move comes with focus on Rio Olympics after poor performance in the recent global showpieces in Moscow, Beijing World and 2012 London Olympics.

Addressing the media at Riadha House yesterday, AK vice-president David Okeyo said they will allow members in yet to be named team to run their last marathon challenge by February to allow them a humble four-month of training before the summer Olympics.

“We are keen in making the best through the new policy. All marathoners will be allowed to finish up other personal assignments by February,” said Okeyo.

Okeyo, who is the CAA Cross-Country

chair, said they have received the evaluation from a set-out committee that looked at poor and previous challenges, the pro and cons on the recommendations in that report. “After getting the re-evaluation report of the London Olympics where we lost the top honours in both events, we are working on the recommendation agreed ahead of Rio. This time we will not be merely challenging for medals, but keen to do the best in Brazil,” he said.

Team Kenya played a second fiddle with the last Olympics in London going to Uganda’s Stephen Kiprotich in 2012 before icing the cake with a sterling performance in Daegu World Championships in men’s duel.

It was neither rosy in the women side as the currently banned Prisca Jeptoo was the best we could offer coming second behind Ethiopian Tiki Gelana. With suspension of Jeptoo ratified, Kenya’s Mary Keittany

had to contend with a bronze after she was promoted from fourth outside.

It’s the late Samuel Wanjiru, who quenched Kenya’s long drought of gold winning in 2008 in Beijing. The last World triumph by Kenya was through the calm Administration Police officer Abel Kirui who had to soldier the Daegu streets together with Edna Kiplagat in women battle.

And the irony here would a big dominance

by Kenya in both the shortest and longest road battles, with IAAF stats showing them 98 per cent overriding of other nation in the entire marathon-majors and in both the silver and gold-label road races.

The big question still fresh in Kenyans’ mind is what happened in Beijing especially men challenge where they shocked the world finishing outside the 20 position?

New coach Odipo faces Gor’s stern test

C

aretaker coach Leonard Odipo, will have his toughest job yet as a coach when Tusker FC clashes with Gor Mahia in a Top 8 semi-final match tomorrow at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru.

Odipo took over the dugout role at the Brewers after Francis Kimanzi stepped aside last Wednesday following a poor run of form.

Of immediate concern to the new tactician will be to re-unite his dressing room after club chairman James Musyoki hinted that players could have sabotaged the coach leading to him being asked to step aside. But the stand-in-coach, Odipo will never the less be in charge of a his first match against Gor Mahia even as he seek to impress his employer who are yet to make a decision about the new head coach.

Gor who are still in the race for a quadruple this season, a dream kept alive after their 4-2 win over Palos last Wednesday in a GOtv Shield will take on a struggling Tusker, knocked out of the Shield competition by a second tier side, Nzoia Sugar-a result that played a big part in Kimanzi’s exit.

This will be a very crucial match for Tusker considering this is the only trophy they have any realistic chances of taking home after squandering their chance of winning the league and the GOtv shield. While Gor, who last won this trophy in 2011 have no problems hitting the back of the opponents’ nets this season, coach Frank Nuttal should be worried by his defence that has conceded four goal in two matches. Gor boasts of a stellar defence in the Premier League having conceded only 12 goals in 2,340 minutes of action, but not in league competition where they have soaked in a few goals.

Gor, Tusker renew rivalry in Top 8 clash

LETHAL: Gor Mahia forward Michael Olunga in action against Palos in GOTV cup at Kasarani stadium on Wednesday. Gor clashes with Tusker in Top 8 semis tomorrow at Afraha stadium in Nakuru.
