Senator Njoroge hits out at DP William Ruto again S
enator Paul Njoroge has hit out at Deputy President William Ruto in yet another tirade that could rock the Jubilee boat with just months to next year’s general election. The Jubilee nominated senator today criticized Ruto over his remarks purporting that the 2017 race has been concluded. The Deputy President has always maintained that the 2017 race is done and dusted arguing that there is no unity from the opposition to trouble the ruling coalition’s quest to retain power.

Why NTSA wants WhatsApp groups closed The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) now wants popular social media platform, WhatsApp, closed accusing users of contributing to the high road carnage in the country. NTSA Director General Francis Meja said some WhatsApp groups have been created by motorists to warn each other of the location of the NTSA officers to avoid being arrested for driving while drunk. “These groups endanger the lives of the drivers and the passengers, they are conveniently used to escape the dragnet of the officers,” Meja said.

ODM in plans to disrupt House business
A major standoff is looming in the National Assembly over the suspension of Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi. Opposition MPs have threatened to disrupt house proceedings tomorrow if the lawmaker is not allowed to resume his parliamentary duties. Speaking in Ugunja yesterday, ODM chairman John Mbadi said he will lead Cord MMs in disrupting tomorrow’s session if Wandayi is not allowed back in parliament as was directed by the court.

Senator Njoroge hits out at DP William Ruto again From Page 1
But Senator Njoroge says the remarks will marginalise Mount Kenya electorate from other regions across the country. He said the remarks are dangerous as they will discourage voters from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s backyard from registering and eventually casting their ballot. “His remarks were very dangerous and aimed at locking out the other communities from supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017. This is marginalizing the community against the rest of the country,” said Senator Njoroge. Only yesterday, Mr Ruto toured Kiambu County where he maintained that the 2017 election is a done deal and thus the Kikuyu community should focus on backing him for the 2022 presidential bid. “It is unfortunate for any political leader including the DP to make such outrageous remarks that are unlikely to go against the same spirit that the president and Jubilee is working towards. There will be no room for new political parties to join,” an angry
Njoroge added. He now wants the agikuyu voters left alone to make sober political decisions and come out in large numbers both to register as voters and passionately reelect President Uhuru Kenyatta. He also lashed out at the DP for what he termed as ‘ disrespect for other ‘ leaders which he has said was a bad precedence for upcoming generation of leaders. “It is on record the Mr Ruto telling Baringo Senator Gideon Moi to stop loitering and making noise to the Rift electorate. It is unfortunate it came from him,” Njoroge added. On the 2022 presidential debate, Njoroge maintained his earlier stance that the Kikuyu nation did not offer a guaranteed support to Ruto’s bid to succeed President Kenyatta. He said the debate is premature and those leaders drawn from Mount Kenya purportedly supporting Ruto’s bid were out to make money. “We know them. This leaders are just milking from the DP lying to him to offer him support in his 2022 bid,” he said. @wilson_x254

“I will lead Cord delegation and disrupt the sittings until the speaker of the National Assembly, Justin Muturi allows Wandayi back to parliament,” Mbadi said. Nyando MP Fred Outa said it will not be business as usual in parliament tomorrow if Wandayi is not allowed to attend the session. “They should know it by now that we will make things very difficult tomorrow,” Outa said. Cord leader Raila Odinga accused the speaker of acting contrary to the law saying he has been in parliament for so many years and no member has been suspended for one year. “I have been in parliament for so many years. I have never seen what the speaker is doing to Wandayi. The suspension is usually one or two days but not one year,” Odinga said. The MPs accused the speaker of disobeying a court order directing that Wandayi be allowed to attend parliamentary sittings until his ‘indiscipline’ case in which he disrupted President Kenyatta State of the
Nation address is determined. Muturi has maintained that Wandayi will not be allowed back to parliament until his case is determined by the Powers and Privileges committee. “Pending the conclusion of the matter by the powers and privileges committee, Wandayi is deemed a stranger and shall not be allowed within the precincts of parliament except for the purposes of attending summons of the committee on privileges as and when required by the committee,” Muturi said in his earlier communication over the matter. The Committee summoned

Wandayi last week Thursday but the legislator declined to appear. Wandayi threatened to sue National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi for disobeying court order allowing him back to parliament. He insisted that the court order must be obeyed by the speaker. “We insist on full compliance of the order within the next 24 hours failing which we shall be left with no option but to institute contempt proceedings against you with risk to yourself, including committal to civil jail for a period not exceeding six months,” Wandayi warned. @sam_x254
lawyer Cliff Ombeta however denied the charges before Justice Jessie Lessit. The prosecution led by the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Nicholas Mutuku told the court that it would call 45 witnesses and successfully applied to have the four tried at the Milimani High Court and not Machakos from where it is believed the deceased were abducted on June 23. Mutuku said it would only make sense to have the matter tried in Nairobi given a majority of the witnesses they intend to call are based in the capital city and given the matter was investigated by
officers attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in Nairobi on account of the huge public interest it attracted. The State Counsel also applied to be allocated three weeks “non-stop” to call his witnesses once a hearing date was set. Justice Lessit granted the prosecution’s request for a month to get the witness statements in order and said she would hear any applications for bail at a later date. A mention date was set for August 16. MORE ON THIS STORY www.capitalfm.co.ke
NTSA wants WhatsApp closed for road safety From Page 1
He said NTSA faces a major challenge on how best to deal with the social media platform that has greatly affected their work in arresting drunk drivers. Meja said that for major progress to be realised in curbing road carnage in the country, such groups should be closed. “Let drivers caught on the wrong side of the law face consequences, it’s only through this that we can make significant progress in reducing road carnage in the country,” he argued. His remarks came on a weekend that saw over 20 people killed in various accidents across the country. Sixteen people died on Friday night alone in two separate road crashes in Maai Mahiu and Salgaa, both in Nakuru County. The dead include seven members of the same family, who died in the road crash at Salgaa trading centre on the busy Nakuru-Eldoret highway at about 2:30am as they drove to Kitale. Their salon car was trying to overtake a Greenline bus when it collided head-on with an oncoming trucktrailer. In the other accident at Maai Mahiu, nine passengers died after a Nairobibound Transline matatu burst into flames following a crash with a lorry transporting sand. Meja blamed the two accidents on driver’s misjudgments. He said the salon car driver might have been too fatigued to be on the road after driving from Kitale to
Nyahuru when he was making the return journey in just under 24 hours. And in Maai Mahiu, he blamed the matatu driver for negligence saying he disregarded all warnings before crashing into the lorry. He says his authority will soon launch a major campaign awareness that will mainly focus on public education on road safety, laws enforcement, engineering and emergency response. The Director pointed out the campaign will help the public to understand that NTSA officers are not out to punish anyone but are only interested in safeguarding the lives people. “None of our officers is sent to punish an innocent driver. We are just discouraging drivers who hit the road while drunk, it’s illegal and we must do our role as NTSA,” he said adding that a “majority of people in this country lack integrity and only follow the law when they see either a traffic police officer around or NTSA officers.” Statistics from the agency indicate that over 1600 people have died in road accidents this year alone, some 10 percent increase from a similar period last year. Most of those who have died are pedestrians. Meja said both public and private service vehicles were to blame for the high fatalities on the roads. He admitted that NTSA had not handled public education appropriately, but said measures are being put in place to tackle the issue. @sam_x254

South Sudan leaders disappointing the world As President Uhuru Kenyatta received United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in Nairobi on Sunday, concern on the new wave of violence that erupted in South Sudan last week was a top priority. In strongly worded declarations, the two called on President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar to restrain their forces against war by calling for a permanent ceasefire and implementing the peace agreement. “They must immediately commit to the complete implementation of the peace agreement, including the permanent ceasefire and redeployment of military forces from Juba,” President Kenyatta urged. Ban was dismayed that South Sudan leaders had failed to honor a world call for peace in the young democracy. “The two leaders are now disappointing the whole world and I have been urging them that they should listen and hear the voices of the region and the world.”

The UN Chief further lauded President Kenyatta’s leadership and commitment to enforce peace in South Sudan which has enjoyed independence for only five years. While recognising the role played by African states to ending war in South
Sudan, Ban called on Kiir and Machar to implement the peace agreement intended to stablise the country. He pledged the UN’s commitment to continue supporting the peace process which Kenya and other African states have been pushing under the
Intergovernmental Authority on Development. President Kenyatta urged Africa and the rest of the international community to continue supporting South Sudan and ensure peace is restored. “We have all watched events in South Sudan with sorrow. Our youngest brother in the region and the world has fallen yet again into division and violence,” he regretted. Whereas the rest of the world will stand to support South Sudan, President Kenyatta urged Kiir and Machar to also play their role of implementing the peace accord of integrating the police units to patrol Juba. “Equally, all parties to the conflict had better direct their energies to empowering and directing the Joint Military Ceasefire Commission to operate continuously so as to address issues as and when they arise.” The Head of State appealed to Ban to ensure that the UN gives support to programmes intended to fight
New regulations to weed out fake hiring agencies The government has moved in to stem the growing number of fake employment bureaus that have been exploiting desperate job seekers, especially to the Arab countries. In a legal notice by Labor Cabinet Secretary Phyllis Kandie (pictured), the hiring bureaus will be required to have at least Sh5 million in share capital, a fully equipped office covering at least 225 square feet and sign bonds with government guaranteeing that workers will be hired under the terms described in the job advertisement. The new regulations also demands that only business graduates run the agencies with its directors having at least form four level of education and a certificate of good conduct. The hiring agencies also will be forced to offer a Sh1.5 million guarantee that will cater for compensation of workers whose contracts have been defaulted. “These regulations may be cited as the labor institutions Private Employment Agencies regulations 2016. At least Sh5 million in share capital and at least Sh1.5 million guarantee to act as compensation in case of a defaulted contract,” reads the legal notice. “An agency may be registered by director of employment to carry out business as a private employment agency if it complies with all these conditions,” it adds. The laws come in the wake of complaints that bogus agencies exploit the high levels of employment in the country to lure Kenyans with the promise of well-paying jobs overseas only to end up either fleecing them
of cash or placing them in low quality jobs. Some agencies have been accused of confiscating travel documents of people lured with high-paying jobs before dumping them in countries such as Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait to serve as house helps. The national security agencies have also accused some of private employment firms of helping recruit Kenyans to join terrorist groups. In 2015, the ministry had revoked the licenses of 930 agencies and banned its citizens from seeking work in the Middle East after a string of cases detailing abuse, especially of domestic workers. The ban was, however, lifted in March for people with professional qualification even as prohibition on export of menial workers to Middle East was retained, pending the drafting of a legal framework. More than 200 unsuspecting Kenyans have lost up to Sh4 million in the past one year alone to these suspicious recruitment agencies. @wilson_x254

The country also deployed Kenya Defence Forces to join AMISOM to contain terrorism in Somalia and has paid a big price of attacks on its soldiers. “I have no hesitation in reminding the Secretary General, and the UN system, of the solemnity of their obligation.

Obama calls for calm after shootings President Obama has called for restraint after three police officers were shot dead in the city of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. The gunman, Gavin Long, an AfricanAmerican who had served for five years in the Marines, was also killed. He had posted videos on the internet complaining about police treatment of African-Americans. Tensions in Baton Rouge have been high since a black man Alton Sterling was shot dead by police two weeks ago. That death - and a second police shooting in Minnesota - sparked protests across the United States and triggered a revenge attack by a black army veteran who shot dead five officers in the city of Dallas. In one video, posted on YouTube, Long said that should “anything happen” to him, he was “not affiliated” with any group. “I’m affiliated with the spirit of justice, nothing more nothing less. I thought my own thoughts, I made my own decisions,” he said. In a live broadcast from the White House, President Obama called upon all
Americans to unite and refrain from divisive language. “Regardless of motive, the death of these three brave officers underscores the danger that police across the country confront every single day, and we as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement,” he said. “Everyone right now focus on words and actions that can unite this country rather than divide it further,” he added, as the US begins two weeks of political conventions with Republicans meeting in Cleveland later on Monday. “We need to temper our words and open our hearts... all of us,” said the president. A vigil was attended by police officers and members of the public on Sunday evening at Saint John the Baptist Church in Zachary, just north of Baton Rouge. The incident began on Sunday morning with shots being fired at a petrol station on Airline Highway in Baton Rouge. Police received reports of a man with an assault rifle. Witness Brady Vancel told WAFB TV he saw what may have been gang members shooting at each other before police arrived. Another witness said she saw a gunman wearing a black mask and military-style clothing. Shots were exchanged over a period of more than 15 minutes, leaving three police officers and the suspect dead, with three other officers wounded, one in a critical condition. The dead officers were named as Montrell Jackson, 32, and Matthew Gerald, 41, of the Baton Rouge police
Morocco now wants to rejoin African Union Morocco has formally announced its wish to rejoin the African Union, 32 years after leaving the organisation. In a message to the AU summit in Rwanda, the Moroccan King Mohammed VI said the time had come for his country to retake its place within its institutional family. Morocco left the AU in 1984, after the organisation recognised the independence of Western Sahara. Moroccans describe Western Sahara as their country’s “southern provinces”. For more than three decades, Morocco has refused to be part of the organisation. In March, it threatened to pull its soldiers out of UN global
peacekeeping missions because of the dispute. Now, the Moroccan authorities seem to have concluded their absence hasn’t helped them diplomatically over Western Sahara and many other issues, says the BBC’s Africa Reporter James Copnall. They sent a special envoy to lobby African leaders at their summit in the Rwandan capital Kigali this weekend. The AU has said that it will continue pushing for the rights of the people of Western Sahara to hold a selfdetermination referendum. Morocco is the only African country which is not an AU member.

He received an honourable discharge, and won several medals while in the military, including one for good conduct. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards told a news conference
it was an “absolutely unspeakable, heinous attack.” Although no other suspects have been identified, police said they were investigating whether the gunman had help from unknown others. “We are not ready to say he acted alone,” said state police spokesman Major Doug Cain. Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden said he had spoken to White House
officials who had offered assistance. He said it was “a defining moment” for community relations. But he also told local media the “rhetoric from some people” after the death of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge may be connected to the shootings, without elaborating who. “Everything’s been anti-police,” he said.
Turkey coup arrests hit 6,000 as President roots out ‘virus’ Turkey has arrested 6,000 people after a failed coup, with President Erdogan vowing to purge state bodies of the “virus” that caused the revolt. Mr Erdogan’s top military aide Col Ali Yazici is among those now in custody. The overall death toll for the weekend violence has risen to 290, the foreign ministry said. More than 100 of those were participating in the coup. Security forces are reported to have met resistance from some coup plotters who were being arrested. Warning shots were fired at Istanbul’s second largest airport, and also at a military base in central Konya province, unnamed officials said. “We will continue to cleanse the virus from all state institutions, because this virus has spread. Unfortunately like a cancer, this virus has enveloped the state,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan told mourners at a funeral in Istanbul for victims of the coup.
Mr Erdogan broke down in tears while speaking at the funeral of a close political ally, his campaign manager Erol Olcak, and his teenage son. He said he would take the country forward in “unity and solidarity”. The president repeated an accusation that cleric Fethullah Gulen was behind the plot, and called for him to be extradited from the US. Mr Gulen strongly denies any involvement. Emotions are running high as funerals for those killed during the coup plot are held. President Erdogan was among those mourning in Istanbul for the brother of one of his closest advisers. “My glorious nation has given the best response to the coup plotters,” Mr Erdogan said in a televised speech frequently interrupted by chants of “God is Great!” Whenever he made a reference to Fethullah Gulen, the roar of boos would come from the crowd.

The roads include; Parliament Road, Taifa road, Harambee Avenue, City Hall Way, Standard, Mama Ngina and Wabera streets will be closed for UNCTAD conference. Thousands of delegates drawn from 194 member countries of UNCTAD are attending the week-long conference that seeks to discuss key economic issues, including a fall in commodity prices, globalization, economic partnerships and sustainable development. Leaders, including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and over 80 ministers, are expected to attend the conference aimed at shaping policy debates to ensure that domestic policies and international actions in trade contribute to sustainable development. “Motorists in Nairobi should find an alternative way of reaching their workplaces,” said Nairobi Traffic Police Commander Leonard Katana in an interview with Citizen TV early today. He further added that the police are
under firm instructions not to allow any security lapses during the conference. “We are here to ensure all bad characters do not gain access to the meeting venue and ensure all delegates are safe,” he said.

KRA seeks Sh1.4 trillion in revenue collection
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has said it plans to collect over Sh1.4 trillion in this current financial year to fund the 2016/2017 budget. According to Mr James Ojee, KRA Deputy Commissioner in charge of Strategy, Innovation and Risk Management, the Authority has already lined up a raft of measures to ensure it achieves its set goals of raising the said revenue. Some of the measures Ojee highlighted include tax amnesty and filing of returns on the KRA’s iTax platform to widen the Authority’s tax base. Ojee added that stakeholder sensitisation through the media was critical in meeting compliance across the country. Mr Ojee noted that tax amnesty for income and assets held overseas in the 2016 Finance Bill has been done in good faith to encourage compliance, but warned that the Authority will be closing in on tax evaders once the period elapses. “There are many treaties and if we find that some Kenyans with bank accounts abroad did not declared their taxes in their filings, that will be an offence,” he warned. He noted that the law on tax amnesty was meant to attract foreign investment to Kenya, enhance tax information exchange and transparency. The Authority is further seeking to build trust among Kenyans and companies with legal reforms and tax policies intended to promote revenue growth and target attainability. @enock_x254
UNCTAD 14 set to narrow global inequality gap
The United Nation’s Conference on Trade and Development which kicked off yesterday, is expected among other agendas to forge a way forward to narrow the global inequality gap that has over the years hindered trade and development. As many as 10,000 delegates are expected to convene at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) for the week-long conference, which was yesterday graced by United Nations (UN) SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-Moon. Despite the inconveniences that come with hosting such huge delegations where several roads around KICC in Nairobi will remain closed, Kenyans are optimistic that the conference will address the challenges faced by Kenya and other third world countries in the quest for a level ground that will bolster trade ties with the developed world.The conference will bring together Heads of State and Government, ministers and other prominent players from the business world, civil society and academia to tackle global trade and economic development issues.
Kenya is hosting the event for the second time; the first being in 1976. President Uhuru Kenyatta and United Nations Secretary-General Ban KiMoon, at the official opening ceremony yesterday, urged global leaders and the delegates to adopt policies that promote equality.United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon said the global economic slowdown had created need for new policies to make trade more vibrant.“High inequality, stagnant incomes, not enough jobs especially for the youth and too little cause for optimism stoke litigate fears for the future for many in all the regions,’ said the UN boss.The week-long Conference will feature ministerial debates, highlevel round tables, thematic events, a World Investment Forum and a Civil Society Forum, among other events. Delegates will also discuss a wide range of issues affecting the global economy, including ways in which African countries can reduce over dependence on the sale of commodities. The leaders will discuss sustainable investments, with various investors
sharing challenges they have faced in developing countries; they will also discuss the opportunities available. Ban Ki- Moon voiced his concerns on the fact that the global trade slow down and lack of productive investment had sharpened the divide between countries that have benefited and those that feel left behind.“Previous conferences have set out the script for us not to make any new promises but to seek to keep the promises already made. We look to this meeting as the first major United Nations development meeting to start charting the way of implementation, from decision to action,” UNCTAD Secretary General Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi said at the opening ceremony. Dr. Kituyi said it was time for world leaders to stop the rhetoric and focus on making changes that boost sustainable development in line with the ‘decision to action’ theme. Speaking in Kigali Rwanda, President Kenyatta urged members of the African Union (AU) to remain united in pushing for the African agenda at the @kevin_x254 United Nations.

UN urges leaders to boost economic growth
United Nations Secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-Moon has urged African Nations to work towards stabilizing their economies. Speaking in Nairobi, the UN boss urged participants at the ongoing United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to focus on strong collaboration, equality and inclusion in trade, finance and investment in order to better align action with agreed-upon sustainable development targets and help restore trust in the global economy. “The successful actions we will need over the next 15 years – especially in the area of trade, investment, technology and finance – require that we tap the full potential of all actors, promote innovation and correct unsustainable trends,” Mr. Ban said at the 14th session of the UN Conference on Trade and Development. “We must work together – across sectors and industries – in broader and deeper partnerships,” he added. He noted that the vulnerability of developing countries to volatile commodity markets was a main focus at UNCTAD IV, and that, with a global trade slowdown and declines in commodity prices, the issue is again a “hot button,” along with other complex questions challenging the international community. The Secretary-General also noted that this year’s session is the first major UN development conference since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Addis

Ababa Action Agenda and the Paris Agreement on climate change. “The vision set out in the SDGs – for people, planet, prosperity and peace – will not succeed if shocks and stresses in our global economic and financial system are not properly addressed. Trade must provide prosperity in ways that work for people and planet and respond to the challenges of climate change,” Mr. Ban said, adding that the regulatory frameworks governing trade, investment in agricultural production,
and technology related to agricultural productivity all play a critical role. He also said that incentive structures in financial markets, both at the level of institutions and the individual decision-maker, need to be aligned with social objectives in order to avoid large income disparities. The international community must also put a proper value on assets, such as ecosystem services, and correctly price systemic and interconnected risk, such as that posed by climate change.
“There are more than enough savings in the global economy to drive the transformation that the SDGs call for, but our investments need to become better aligned with sustainable development,” Mr. Ban said. The SG noted that UNCTAD conference must establish how UNCTAD will contribute to meeting the challenges of achieving the SDGs, calling on Member States to agree in Nairobi on deeper cooperation on trade and development to bring the world closer to that vision.
“Trade, finance, technology and investment can be positive forces to end poverty. Used wisely, they can ensure that we leave no one behind,” Mr. Ban said, noting that engagement must involve Heads of State and Government; parliamentarians; leaders from business and civil society; young entrepreneurs and philanthropists. Mr. Ban thanked Kenya for continuing to play a “pivotal role” in the region, noting that its contribution to regional peace and stability remains crucial. @kevin_x254

Kenyatta calls for establishment of Contin Free Trade Area, endorses intra-African tra MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016
President Uhuru Kenyatta has called for the establishment of a Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) to promote intra-African trade. According to the Head of State, boosting intra-African trade will accelerate continental integration, develop larger markets and foster greater competition which will help in poverty reduction, growth and sustainable development. “Equally, pooling economies and markets through regional integration will provide a sufficiently wide economic and market space to make new economies of scale,” the President said. The Head of State told the summit -- also addressed by AU Chairperson, President Idriss Deby Itno of Chad -- that a free trade area promised economic independence for the continent. He cited job creation in the public and private sectors, increased food security and competitiveness of Africa’s industrial products as some of the benefits that would accrue to African countries from the establishment of the CFTA. Other benefits of a continental free trade area according to the president include increased rate of diversification and transformation of Africa’s economy and its ability to meet its import needs
from within, better allocation of resources, improved competition and reduced price differentials among African countries. The President said the CFTA would also boost the growth of intra-industry trade and the development of geographically based specialization in Africa, reduce vulnerability to external trade shocks and enhance the continent’s participation in global trade to reduce dependency on aid and external borrowing. Kenyatta expressed concern over the fact that while 40 per cent of North American trade is with other North American countries and 63 per cent of trade by countries in Western Europe is with other Western European nations, only about 12 per cent of African trade is with other African nations. President Kenyatta said he looked forward to working closely with all leaders to ensure the strengthening of the UN-Habitat in Nairobi. During his visit, Kenyatta met with a number of high profile individuals, including Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and President of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud. @enock_x254

Cyber-attack on the University of Nairobi social media sites has been contained, says CA A cyber-attack on the University of Nairobi’s social media sites has been contained, the Communication Authority (CA) has said. The attacker demanded a ransom of Sh700,000 with threats of worse consequences if the institution did not yield demands, the Authority confirmed in a statement sent to news rooms. Communication Authority, the Director General Francis Wangusi said the authority’s National CybersecurityCentre had taken over the case. “We are further making all efforts to ensure full restoration of any affected systems and the resumption of normal operations,” said Wangusi. On July 11, 2016, at around 4:00pm, the UoN blog site was defaced by hackers compromising one of the University’s Twitter handles. They then proceeded to share a few blog site usernames and passwords. Wangusi reiterated that the Authority remains committed to serve Kenyans in its regulatory mandate in order to transform the lives of people through
ICT. The move follows a recent attack where hackers infiltrated the network of Armaments Corporation of South Africa (Armscor), the arms procurement organization in Pretoria. The breach has been described as ‘enormous’, exposing considerable data of Armscor the authorized agency procuring arms for the Defense Department of South Africa. Data hacked was posted on the Dark Web Sunday night. It was also found that it was the same hacker that exposed information from the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Kenya in April. The hacks have been linked to a movement dubbed the OpAfrica campaign by a group of global ‘hacktivists’ known as Anonymous. The movemen began in January 2016 when the hacktivists intruded servers and revealed databases belonging to several African nations, includingKenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, and in particular, South Africa. @lenah_x254

Growing middle-class offers promising market for An increase in household incomes across the country has led to a change in consumer behaviour, which has favourable results for foreign retailers,. This is according to a report by the Oxford Business Group (OBG) and Chris Steenkamp, Manager of South Africanowned discount retailer, Game. “Consumers in Kenya tend to equate international brands with quality,” he told OBG. “Conspicuous consumption and status shopping in the county have become
more prominent than in other emerging markets,” he added. However, the report, which was released just days ago, notes that there are some potential bumps ahead that the sector will have to navigate. The analysis states that while Nairobi does have several new mall projects in the pipeline, which should help attract new retailers, there are some concerns that the market may struggle to accommodate the coming floor space. It warns that additional formal retail space may lead to a risk of oversupply, according
to some analysts, as leasing activit declined in some established malls. Thos malls could be prompted to undertak upgrades to regain lost footfall and tenant as major retailers move to newer malls o secure space in upcoming development according to local media reports.

So it’s not about the Charter coming into Mombasa, but TUI is back,” Balala noted. He said that the company expects to bring in up to 2,200 tourists from Poland. The government recently introduced incentives for chattered flights where all planes with passengers terminating at Moi International Airport (Mombasa) and Malindi Airport will be exempt from landing fees as part of the governments effort to revive the tourism sector. The charter incentives of up to Sh1.2 billion, introduced in January 2016, are expected to last up to June 2018. @enock_x254

The African Union has agreed to use some cash paid to import goods to help raise $1.2 billion (Sh121.58 billion) starting next year, reducing its reliance on donors such as the World Bank that provide about three-quarters of funding for its programs. The AU’s heads of state on July 16 decided that 0.2 per cent of a country’s eligible imports will go toward funding the AU Commission’s programs, Rwandan Finance Minister Claver Gatete told reporters in the country’s capital, Kigali, where the AU Summit is taking place. Eligible imports exclude products such as medicines, fertilizers and baby food, he said. The money will be collected by local revenue authorities and held in central bank accounts, from which the cash will be automatically disbursed, Bloomberg reports. The 54 member states last year resolved to find a way to fund three-quarters of its programs and 25 percent of its peace-support missions itself. Donor include the European Commission, World Bank, developed countries and other partners. The commission’s budget this year is $447 million, Gatete said. “We should not be a burden to the donor communities, we should be able to finance our own activities, and this is the beginning,” Gatete said. States will be punished for violating their obligations, he said, without providing more information. The AU supports programs aimed at developing transport, energy, water and telecommunication services in the continent, among others. @Dennis_x254
Value of Turkish currency jumps 2 per cent following failed coup The Turkish lira, the Middle Eastern country’s currency gained 2 per cent to 2.9568 per dollar as of 8:12 a.m. in Istanbul this morning, trimming a 4.6 per cent plunge on Friday night, when tanks rolled through the streets of Ankara and Istanbul as a breakaway faction of army officers said they had assumed control of the country. The currency’s gain balanced almost half the loss triggered by the thwarted coup attempt that broke out in the final hours of trading last week. The uprising was quashed and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed that there will be retaliations from his end. The short-lived coup erupted about two hours before trade in the Turkish currency stopped for the weekend and sent the lira tumbling by the most in eight years, Bloomberg reports. Investors will probably buy the slump before assessing any longer-term damage to the economy, according to
Tatha Ghose, a London-based analyst at Commerzbank AG. “Prices will likely be volatile for some time, but in the end, investors will likely use this as a buying opportunity,” Ghose said on Sunday before lira trading opened. “The main question for investors now is whether or not there will be a residual impact on Turkey’s long-term risk premium.” Ghose expects the currency to gradually strengthen to 2.95 or even 2.90 per dollar, he said in an e-mailed report before trade re-opened. The lira closed last week at 3.0157 per dollar, about 2 percent away from a record low of 3.0752 in September. In an effort to quell investor concerns, policy makers said Sunday they will provide unlimited liquidity to banks and would support the lira by removing the limits on foreign currency deposits that commercial lenders are allowed to use as collateral, states a Bloomberg report. While the coup attempt may
have a negative impact on Turkey, especially tourism, reforms will now be easier to carry out, Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said in an interview with Bloomberg HT from Ankara aired on Monday. Turkey’s central bank is scheduled to hold a policy meeting Tuesday and the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg as of Friday was for a further 50-basis-point reduction in the overnight lending rate. Thousands of army officers and judges were swept up in a nationwide wave of arrests as Erdogan and the ruling AK Party moved to cement power. While some investors express concern that the president’s quest to centralize power leaves the nation vulnerable to social unrest, others see his survival as the surest bet of stability for a NATO ally entangled in the war in neighbouring Syria and in conflicts with Kurdish separatists. @Dennis_x254

Global crude oil prices fall by over 10pc as Kenya moves to export reserves The average global price of crude oil has declined more than 10 per cent since hitting a 2016 peak in early June, stoking fears of another second-half slump, new data has revealed. According to a Bloomberg analysis, it was July that “broke the back” of last year’s bull-run, with oil plummeting 21 per cent. The fall comes just as Kenya, East Africa’s economic powerhouse is gearing up to begin exporting its own oil. The country has given the reigns of its oil exploration drive to foreign investors including international driller, Tullow Oil. Last month, Deputy Chief of Staff in the Executive Office of the President, Nzioka Waita said Kenya will begin exporting 2,000 barrels of crude oil per day from July 2017. Meanwhile, the global crude oil market remains in a state of volatility.
“The prospect of a repeat has drillers doing everything they can to raise cash, from selling stocks and bonds to adding fresh hedges,” states the analysis. “The producers have sold the hell out of this rally,” said Stephen Schork, president of Schork Group Inc., a consulting firm in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Hedging has become a critical cash lifeline for companies that have so far survived a bust that has claimed dozens of their competitors. Since the start of 2015, 85 North American oil and gas producers have gone bankrupt, according to law firm Haynes and Boone. Producers increased bets on falling prices for a third consecutive week in the seven days ended July 12, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Short wagers rose by 8,566 futures and
options combined, or 1.6 percent. Drillers are also taking advantage of the rally to tap the capital markets. U.S. oil and gas producers have been selling shares at record speed, using the cash to repay debt or buy oil and gas prospects, bolstering the asset side of the balance sheet. So far this year, companies have raised more than $16 billion in equity, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “They’re trying to generate cash to stay alive and fight another day,” said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York hedge fund focused on energy. “If this year is anything like the last two, producers may be grateful they shored up their finances. Oil plummeted 38 per cent in the second half of 2015 and 49 per cent in 2014,” said the analysis.
There are already signs that an oil supply glut may back up into the crude markets, damping demand. Currently, fuel inventories are so swollen that at least five sea tankers hauling the fuel to New York were turned away over the past few weeks, according to traders and ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. U.S fuel inventories rose 0.5 per cent to 240.1 million barrels, an all-time seasonal high, in the week ended July 8, the Energy Information Administration reported last week. The peak-driving season in the U.S. has so far failed to erode those stockpiles, which may send crude tumbling below $40 (Sh4,050) a barrel again, said Schork. “Demand is strong, but supply is even stronger,” he said.

lyriclab DIAMOND PLATNUMZ FT P-SQUARE
KIDOGO
This sizzling new song from two continental heavy hitters is everything you might expect. The beats do sound decidedly more Bongo Flava than Naija flavor but that doesn’t mean that the tune is nothing but fun and electrifying. Produced by SHIRKO from Tanzania and mixed by V-TECK from Nigeria, in the song East meets West and they both win. Written by both
Diamond and P-Square, the song is an ode to a girl that they are in love with. The video, shot in South Africa by Godfather Production is sharp, clean and showcases ‘floss-mode’ at its best. This tune is sure to be a club banger.

WILLY PAUL AKOTHEE
YUKO MOYONI This song that fooled everybody into believing that controversial singer Akothee had gotten married is a lively, playful, celebratory cut. Akothee’s persona takes that of a stirred up lover that is deep in the throes of love. The video is also a palpable triumph. A white tourist becomes enamored by Akothee and eventually goes ‘native’ to marry her.
FANYA
Willy Paul continues to straddle a fine line. Produced by Bizzy B, the greatest thing about Fanya is its engaging beats. The song’s delivery might not be exactly everyone’s cup of tea but the tune is hypnotizing and the little touches of reggae work wonders for its overall feel. When it comes to the same application in the lyrics, it’s a hit and miss. The video, directed by Enos Olik, on the other hand is masterful and a little mysterious, which is just fantastic

Shaw returns for United in Mourinho first game MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw returned from a 10-month injury lay-off in Jose Mourinho’s first game in charge of the club in a friendly at Wigan. Left-back Shaw has been out since suffering a double fracture of his right leg last September and played the first half against the Latics. New United signings Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly also started as they made their debuts at the DW Stadium. Goals from Will Keane and Andreas Pereira gave United a 2-0 win. Mourinho’s other summer signing, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was absent, as the Swedish forward is on holiday having played at Euro 2016. England players Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford and Chris Smalling were also unavailable following their international commitments. Mourinho confirmed the trio will go on the club’s pre-season tour of China but will not play against Borussia Dortmund or Manchester City. The Wigan game was goalless at half-time but Mourinho made seven changes at the break, with Keane and Juan Mata among those coming on. United then took the lead when Latics keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen’s mistake allowed Mata to square for Keane to sidefoot home. Just before the hour Pereira made it 2-0, firing home after Ander Herrera’s shot was blocked. “When I found Luke Shaw in the training ground, it was a surprise for me because I thought he cannot be

ready,” said Mourinho. “But he did fantastic in the summer, sacrificed his holiday, staying in the city and training every day. He is trying
hard and was mad to play more than 45 minutes but for me, it’s better 45 safe than more, so let’s go step by step.”
Ushuru picked up with the same tempo they had in the opening 45 minutes and Oluoch once again thwarted their efforts in the 56th minute with a superb save off Diallo. Ushuru had launched a quick counter attack with Philemon Otieno picking out Diallo who broke into the box, but Oluoch managed to narrow down the angle and spread his body nicely to prevent the ball from going into the back of the net. The absence of Khalid Aucho who left the club in June for trials in Scotland was visible as the defending champions lacked their usual flair and free flowing transition from defense to attack. In the final 15 minutes, Gor upped
the ante, throwing pressure into the Ushuru half and forcing them to play on the back foot. An intended cross which turned out to be a shot on target almost caught Odhoji off guard, but the custodian managed to backtrack and tip the ball onto the crossbar. Wafula picked up the loose ball and his intended cross was almost turned into an own goal by Ngaira, but lucky for him the ball flew wide. Gor would have snatched it late though but Odhoji pulled off a superb one on one save to deny Kagere after the Rwandese striker dinked past his markers inside the box.

Chelsea’s Conte wants Cuadrado to stay at the Bridge New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says Colombia winger Juan Cuadrado is part of his plans at Stamford Bridge. Cuadrado, 28, shone in Serie A and the 2014 World Cup before joining the Blues for £23.3m from Fiorentina in February 2015, but failed to score in 13 games. He was loaned to Juventus last season, scoring four goals in 28 appearances to help them to the league and cup double. “I wanted him when I was Juventus coach. He will come back very soon and train and play with us,” said Conte. “Now, he’s a Chelsea player and he’ll stay with us. If something changes you’ll know.” The arrival of Pedro at Chelsea from Barcelona last August saw Cuadrado join Conte’s former club Juventus on loan five days later. As well as playing a significant part in Juventus’ successful season, he also helped Colombia to a third-place finish at the Copa America this summer. Meanwhile, Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign Augsburg central defender Ragnar Klavan for a fee of £4.2m. The Estonia captain, 30, would act as cover for Frenchman Mamadou Sakho, who is expected to miss the start of the season
with an Achilles tendon injury. Manager Jurgen Klopp is keen to strengthen his defensive resources after Kolo Toure was released and Martin Skrtel sold to Fenerbahce. Klavan would be the Reds’ fourth signing of the summer. Klopp has already signed Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius, Schalke centreback Joel Matip and Southampton forward Sadio Mane this summer. And in not good news for football fans, Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben could miss the start of the season after being ruled out for six weeks with an adductor muscle injury. The 32-year-old Dutchman missed the last two months of 2015-16 with a similar injury and pulled up in their pre-season opener against fifth-tier Lippstadt. He only made 15 Bundesliga appearances last season. Bayern face Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup on 14 August. The German champions’ league opener is against Werder Bremen on 26 August. Elsewhere in China, former Premier League striker Demba Ba suffered a potentially career-ending broken leg while
playing in the Chinese Super League. The Senegal forward, 31, collapsed during a challenge with another player, with his left leg giving way beneath the knee as he fell down. The incident happened while playing for Shanghai Shenhua in the derby against Shanghai SIPG on Sunday. “It could end his professional career,” said Shenhua coach Gregorio Manzano. Former West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea frontman Ba joined the Chinese side from Turkish club Besiktas for about £12m last July. He is the division’s top scorer with 14 goals in 18 games this season.

Sundowns stun Zamalek in Egypt, Zesco win South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns beat Egypt’s Zamalek 2-1 in Cairo on Sunday to close in on a place in the semi-finals of the African Champions League. The win means Sundowns are just a point from a place in the last four with two games remaining. They only reached the group phase after the disqualification of DR Congo’s Vita Club, for using an ineligible player. In Saturday’s matches in the other group, Zesco United beat ASEC Mimosas and Al Ahly and Wydad Casablanca drew. Sundowns’ victory came thanks to goals from Tiyani Mabunda and Khama Billiat. They lead their group with six points from two games so far - ahead of Zamalek with three, and Nigeria’s Enyimba - who have yet to register a point. There are only three teams in their pool, after the elimination of Entente Setif of Algeria following crowd trouble. On Saturday, in the other group, Zesco United of Zambia boosted their hopes
of progressing with a 3-1 victory over ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast, as Egyptian giants Al Ahly saw their own challenge falter. Zesco moved up above ASEC to second in Group A, a point behind leaders Wydad Casablanca who drew 0-0 at bottom side Al Ahly. Only the group winners and runnersup qualify for the semi-finals, which leaves Al Ahly with little hope of advancing. Al Ahly coach Martin Jol now faces a huge challenge following the result at home to Wydad Casablanca from Morocco which brought his side their first point. Ahly were desperate for maximum points after a disastrous start to the mini-league phase which has seen them slump to the foot of their group. Pre-season favourites for a recordextending ninth title, the Cairo Red Devils had already fallen to a 3-2 away defeat to Zesco United and a 2-1 loss at home to ASEC Mimosas. The 0-0 draw in Alexandria strengthens Wydad’s position at the top of Group A, with John Toshack’s men on course to qualify for the last
four. History is stacked against Ahly securing a top-two finish and a semi-finals place in a competition offering a $1.5m first prize and a ticket to the 2016 Fifa Club World Cup. Only one of 120 clubs - USM Alger of Algeria in 2003 - have reached the semi-finals after losing their first and second mini-league matches. Earlier on Saturday, Zesco United faced a formidable ASEC Mimosas team who had excelled in away matches this year, winning three out of four before the clash in Ndola. But the hosts, who have now won five Caf matches at home this season, dominated the Ivorians from the start, going into the break 2-0 up thanks to goals from Jackson Mwanza and John Ching’andu. ASEC did fight back in the second half, halving the deficit through Youssouf Dao in the 75th minute, but it took just three minutes for Zesco United to make the game safe. An impressive piece of individual skill from Idriss Mbombo in the penalty box gave Zesco a 3-1 victory.

Gor Mahia custodian Boniface Oluoch dives low to save a shot. he was in form yesterday as he helped the league champions to a draw against an aggressive Ushuru at Nyayo.
Keeper Oluoch stand out in Gor’s 0-0 draw Boniface Oluoch pulled a man of the match performance, making crucial saves as Kenyan Premier League defending champions Gor Mahia settled for a goalless draw against Ushuru at Nyayo Stadium last evening. The record 15-time league champions failed to take advantage of league leaders Tusker FC’s slip to close down the gap at the top after the Brewers were held to a 2-2 draw at home against Chemelil in the early kick off. The results mean there are no changes at the top with all four teams picking just a point each from their league outings last weekend. In last evening’s encounter, Oluoch was the busiest of the two keepers in the opening half and he solely kept Gor in the game at a time when Luke Ochieng had one of the games to forget in his career. The former KCB man had been called up to replace the absent Harun Shakava partnering Musa Mohammed at the heart of defense, but the pace of the Ushuru forward men proved too much for him to handle most of the time. In the 17th minute, former AFC Leopards forward Lamin Dialo, who has already scored against Gor Mahia this season, powered through the right past Ochieng but the final decision to try and dink the ball over Oluoch from a tight angle failed to tick when he had better options begging for the ball inside the six yard box. A minute later, Oluoch was called into his first save of the match, going down well to keep out a shot from Kennedy Oduor inside the box
after Eric Mata had won the ball and fed the midfielder. Dialo won another contest with Ochieng in the 20th minute, this time showing sheer strength to muscle the defender off the ball, dink a bit to his right past Musa Mohammed but Oluoch pulled off a full stretched save to keep out his low shot. Gor had struggled to make out anything moving upfront and Ushuru’s defensive display managed to keep out the deadly attacking duo of Meddie Kagere and Jacques Tuyisenge. Kagere though managed to sneak into the near post from an Amos Nondi corner, but his header under pressure from Jackson Onjala went wide. Tuyisenge was put through by George ‘Blackberry’ Odhiambo with a superb through ball in the 33rd minute, but the Ushuru defense managed to close him down quick enough before he had the ball on his feet, forcing him to set up Nondi. The youngster though saw his goal bound effort blocked by the defense though keeper Shabaan Odhoji had it covered. Ushuru would have ended the half on a high but Aziz Okaka wasted a glorious opportunity after shooting straight at Oluoch with the keeper down having had a soft palm on a Rogers Ochieng cross, the ball landing on Okaka. At the start of the second period, Gor coach brought on Baron Oketch for the injured ‘Blackberry’ while Ken Kenyatta responded by offloading Eric Mata for Liberian Rosevelt Blaty.
