Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich yesterday absolved his Ministry of any wrong doing in the loss of Sh791 million from the scandal-ridden National Youth Service (NYS). Instead, Rotich attributed the unfortunate loss of public funds to lack of clear legislation to guide transfer of public funds from government ministries and agencies to various contractors. Appearing before National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), The CS told MPs that NYS had opened three banks accounts without the authority of the Treasury but has since ordered for its closure. The CS told the committee that with Public Finance Management (PFM) Act in place, State agencies will be barred from operating bank accounts without the ministry’s approval. “Now that a law had been put in place, we do not expect such lapses in future. Those who violate will be dealt with,” Rotich said. However, he was put to task when he stunned the Nicholas Gumbo (Rarieda) led committee that Treasury had no prior information of the existence of the three NYS accounts, admitting that there would more ‘illegal’ accounts opened and operated by government ministries, departments and agencies.

Former Athletics Kenya boss Kip dies in Nairobi
Former long-serving Athletics Kenya President Isaiah Kiplagat is dead. Mr Kiplagat lost battle to cancer today morning, aged 72. Family members confirmed that the former President of Athletics Kenya and former Managing Director of Post Bank passed on at 1030am at his Nairobi home. Kiplagat has been unwell for years, but his condition became worse in the last four months. He served as the head of the sports body from 1992 -2015 and will be remembered as one of the longest serving presidents in the history of the association. In 2015, Kiplagat with two other senior athletics Kenya officials were suspended by the IAAF over allegations of sabotaging anti-doping processes and potentially diverting sponsorship funds from Nike. Kiplagat, former AK Vice-president David Okeyo and former treasurer Joseph Kinyua were accused of siphoning Ksh50.4m from AK accounts that was alleged to have been a one-off bonus from the kitting deal for Kenya’s track and field team entered with American apparel manufacturer, Nike. The second count relates to sabotaging the anti-doping procedures where athletes who tested positive are said to have bribed the officials to have their bans reduced or erased altogether. Kiplagat is further accused of accepting two SUV vehicles from the Qatar as inducement to vote for them to host the 2019 IAAF World Championships in Doha in his capacity as a then Council Member of the world body. He was 72 at the time of his passing.
A Nairobi businessman was last evening shot in a daring robbery attack on Uhuru highway. Mr Jitendra Chevda, 49, was shot in the abdomen at about 6.30 pm when the incident occurred. He was driving home when he was attacked by the lone gunman who demanded money from him. “He refused to give the money and was shot in the lower abdomen,” a police report indicated. He was initially rushed to Nairobi West Hospital but was later transferred to MP Shah Hospital where he is currently undergoing treatment. Investigators recovered a spent cartridge and a bullet head from the vehicle. Police say four people who were in the vehicle during the attack are assisting them with investigations. Elsewhere, a female police officer
attached to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport shot herself dead while at work today morning. Airport Police Unit Deputy Commandant Rono Bunei told reporters that the officer, a mother of one, shot herself in the head in a lavatory at around 7am. “She had been on leave and resumed work today (Wednesday). She had been interacting well with her colleagues and did not show any signs of being frustrated. In fact, she was very jovial,” Mr Bunei is quoted by the Daily Nation as having said. According to him, the officer who is a corporal, removed her beret and swagger cane and placed them on a table at the Control Room before going to the lavatory. “All we heard was a gunshot and we found her seated on the toilet seat, dead, with an official Jericho pistol in
her hand,” he added. Her body has since been taken to the City Mortuary. In another incident, a man was hacked to death by gangsters in Mukuru Kayaba slums last night. Mr Aggrey Ouma was then rushed to Kenyatta Hospital for treatment but was declared dead shortly after the 9pm attack. Police said the deceased was walking home in the company of another man, Mark Omondi, when they were confronted by two thugs wielding pangas. “They were ordered to stop but they started running away. The gangsters pursued them. Omondi managed to escape with minor injuries on the left ear. He later returned with relatives and found Aggrey with injuries on the forehead,” a police report stated.

Rotich absolves Treasury from NYS scam blame From Page 1 The committee sought to know whether Treasury had an inventory of all the bank accounts of government ministries and other agencies. Rotich owned up to the failures by his office, saying State departments that have opened accounts without the approval on the National Treasury violated the law. On his part, Principal Secretary Kamau Thugge said Treasury commenced an inventory of accounts opened by ministries, departments and government agencies to ascertain if they were being operated legally. He said the accounts had been frozen pending the ongoing probe into the scandal. During the session, the committee heard that NYS, which is grappling with Sh791 million loss scandal, operated three illegal accounts, was opened at Kenya Commercial Bank and the other two at the National Bank of Kenya. Mr Rotich, disclosed that the former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru, during her tenure, had applied for Sh5.1 billion in the Supplementary Budget, but the amount was scaled down to Sh3.5 billion. @hillary_x254

The alleged funds pilferage occurred after Mr Odhiambo appointed Catherine Namuye, the fund’s chief executive who was later suspended, as the sole signatory to the fund’s account. Ten days after Ms Namuye’s appointment as the sole signatory, Sh180 million was transferred in two tranches of Sh115 million and Sh65 million to Quorandum Limited as payment for design of the fund’s computer management software for services not delivered. According to Head of Civil Service Joseph Kinyua, the move by the fund boss was illegal as he was a non-executive chairman therefore he was not mandated to authorise the appointment. It is also alleged that Mr Odhiambo benefitted from the Sh180 million taken from the kitty after he was paid Sh3.3 million by Quorandum Limited. The money was paid on different dates between 2015 and 2016 by Quorandum Director Mukuria Ngamau ostensibly for supply and consultancy services Odhiambo rendered. Mr Odhiambo was also not entitled to a Sh12 million top-of-the-range vehicle that was also bought for his use. He was also not entitled to a driver and bodyguard.

The embattled youth fund boss resigned barely a year before the end of his term in March this year after spirited campaigns for his resignation or suspension from by the board. Subsequently President Uhuru Kenyatta revoked Odhiambo’s appointment as the board’s chair after the corruption
allegations. In a notice dated in April, the president also revoked the appointment of Sella Bongoko, Paul Gachura Ng’ang’a, Sabra Omar Hussein, Jane Mutinda, Mike Wamae, Clement Ayungo, Nicholas Mwaniki as members of the board. @harrison_x254

Poll: Most Kenyans would readily pay a bribe
Majority of Kenyans would readily give a bribe if confronted with a situation requiring them to do so, a new opinion poll shows. The survey by Infotrak Research and Consultancy that was commissioned by the Africa Centre for Open Governance and Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice shows 54.4 percent of respondents would pay a bribe. “Out of these, 45 percent would not report the incident or take any action while 9.4 percent would take action,” Infotrak Managing Director Angela Ambitho said when releasing the findings. On the other hand, 39.2 percent Kenyans would refuse to give a bribe if confronted with a situation requiring them to give a bribe. “Of these 17 percent would take no action after refusing to give the bribe while 22.2 percent claim they would report the incident.” While most Kenyans are quick to absolve themselves from any corrupt practices, majority indicated that most of the people in their area/ community give bribes. “Some 67 percent of Kenyans indicated that people in their area or community often pay bribes to get public services while 63 percent indicated that people in their area/community pay bribes to avoid arrest, to avoid being charged in a court of law or get a favourable ruling in court.” The survey conducted between May 31 and June 8, 2016 targeted 1,500 respondents in 25 counties. The incidences across the regions were more or less similar with nearly 70 percent indicating that those in their area give bribes to get public services. The exception was in Central where 42 percent stated that people in their area bribe often to receive public services.
HR practitioners given up to January to register Human Resource practitioners now risk a year in prison or a fine of Sh250, 000 if they are found to be operating without accreditation, their professional body has warned. The Institute of Human Resource Management (IHRM) said such persons will also be barred from practicing. It lamented that only a fraction of the professionals in the industry have obtained mandatory practicing licence yet the Human Resource Management Professionals Act 2012, was enacted four years ago. IHRM Council Chairman Elijah Sitimah asked HR practitioners to register and acquire their certificates by January next year or risk being forced out of their jobs. “We are going to notify all employers informing them that if the HR person in their business is not registered then he or she is there illegally,” he warned. Sitimah warned those who will be found culpable of breaching the HR rules and engaging themselves in uncertified human resources officers, will be prosecuted. Of the 25,000 human resources professionals practicing in the country, only 5,000 practitioners have been registered with the institute. Registration costs Sh4, 500 with a further Sh7, 000 for annual renewal. @hillary_x254

The situation was similar in the case of those who know other people who have paid bribes to avoid arrest, avoid being charged in court and influence a favourable court ruling. When the respondents were asked what is the most effective thing that an ordinary person can do to help combat corruption in this country, 27 percent of Kenyans think the best way to combat corruption is to refuse to pay bribes while another
24.4 percent feel that there is nothing ordinary citizens can do to fight corruption. Another 17.4pc think the best way to fight corruption is by reporting corruption when you see or experience it while 10.3pc think the best way to fight corruption is by voting for those leaders or political parties that promise to eradicate corruption if voted in. Further still seven percent of Kenyans feel that
people should join or support organisations that fight corruption. According to the focus group the actions that should be taken against those found corrupt include: Being fired, banned from vying any public office, being jailed for life and having all their accounts frozen. MORE ON THIS STORY

Hackers targeted with hefty fines in new Bill
Persons using the Internet to spread hate speech, incite the public to violence, or intercept communication will face a penalty of up to Sh20 million or 20 years jail or both, if a proposed Bill is enacted into law. The draft Computer and Cybercrimes Bill, 2016 drafted by the Ministry of information, Communication and Technology (ICT) seeks among other things to contain the use of social media to spread hate mongering ahead of the 2017 General Electio n. Appearing before Parliamentary Committee on Energy and ICT yesterday to give more insights on the bill, Information Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru told the committee the proposed law is meant to align the law to advanced forensic procedures of investigating increasing cases of cybercrimes estimated to cost economies tens of billions of shillings a year. In addition, he said that his ministry is holding consultations with State agencies on security to ensure punitive measures on cyber criminals. “Misuse of social media is increasingly becoming a threat
to national cohesion but we are working with all arms of the government including the Judiciary to learn how to verify sources of such information as well as bring to book those using technology to try and bring the nation to disarray,” he said. Mucheru explained he had incorporated international and local professionals to draft the Bill that, if passed, will help tame propagators of hate speech through social media ahead of next year’s General Election. He said appropriate systems and training has been contemplated to empower IT professionals in the ICT ministry so as to help them audit information displayed on social media and identify abusive content throughout the election circle. “We don’t want to get rid of social media by switching it off, we only want to deal with culprits who think that they can hide behind technology,” he noted. “We will ensure that those trying to use technology to bring this country into disarray are dealt with accordingly,” he warned. @hillary_x254

A general view shows damaged buildings after an earthquake hit Amatrice in central Italy early today.
Six killed as earthquake hits Italy At least six people have been confirmed dead while scores others remain trapped under rubble after strong earthquake hit central Italy early today. A magnitude 6.2 earthquake hit at 03:36, 76 km southeast of the city of Perugia, at the very shallow depth of 10km (six miles), Italian officials said. The mayor of one town told Italian radio that “half the town is gone”. “There are people stuck in the rubble,” he said, calling on the emergency services to help clear roads. “Houses are no longer there,” he added, suggesting that victims had been buried in the rubble.
In Rome, some buildings shook for 20 seconds, according to La Repubblica newspaper. A family of four had been found under rubble in the town of Accumoli, the town’s mayor Stefano Petrucci told RAI TV. Meanwhile police said two people had died in the nearby village of Pescara del Tronto, RAI reported. There were also reports of serious damage in the town of Amatrice. “The roads in and out of town are cut off. Half the town is gone. There are people under the rubble... There’s been a landslide and a bridge might collapse,” mayor Sergio Perozzi told RAI radio.
Italy’s Civil Protection agency described the earthquake as “severe”. The quake was initially reported as being magnitude 6.4. It was followed by several powerful aftershocks, La Repubblica newspaper reported. “It was so strong. It seemed the bed was walking across the room by itself with us on it,” Lina Mercantini of Ceselli in Umbria, told Reuters news agency. The USGS predicted the damage could be significant, based on data from previous quakes. In 2009, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in the Aquila region, which was also felt in the Italian capital, left more than 300 dead.

Japan reaffirms commitment to deepen bilateral ties with Kenya Japan has reaffirmed her commitment to deepen bilateral ties with Kenya following a visit from the nation’s Ambassador to Kenya H.E. Toshitsugu Uesawa. The Ambassador yesterday paid Ministry of Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala a courtesy visit. The two discussed initiatives aimed at attracting more Japanese tourists into Kenya. Their meeting precedes this year’s Tokyo International Conference on Africa’s Development (TICAD) to be held in Nairobi between August 27 and 28. The summit will provide African and Japanese governments with an opportunity to renew and strengthen existing partnerships. The courtesy call also comes barely two weeks after Kenya’s government announced that bilateral relations between Kenya and Japan can help support both Kenya’s small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and the private sector. The state has since signaled its readiness to host the Sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI) summit that hopes to forge ties between the two countries, and the African continent as a whole. Senior Officials, including the CS, Tourism Principal Secretary Fatuma Hirsi and Acting Managing Director of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) Nana Wanjiku, among others,met today in Nairobi to prepare for the upcoming Conference. Principal Secretary in the State
Department of Trade, Dr Chris Kiptoo had earlier said that the nation was pregnant with excitement as it prepares to host the summit in just over two weeks’ time. “It is a privilege for Kenya to have been chosen to host the first TICAD summit outside Japan, and the first ever on the African continent,” Dr Kiptoo said in a statement issued earlier this month. The conference, a key investment forum aimed at strengthening Japan-Africa

ensure the conference becomes a success with sideshows, mini-conferences and exhibitions to be held on the sidelines,” Kiptoo added. The PS also highlighted the importance of the two countries’ relations as Japan, with a combined GDP of $6 trillion (Sh609 trillion), can help boost Kenya’s small and medium sized enterprises and the private sector with management skills that have enabled Japan become a force to reckon with in the global industry.

Investigations have been instituted to arrest and prosecute the suspects. The arrests come barely a week after ten illegal lines and seven prepaid meters were recovered in Igoji and Kanyakine areas in Meru County following an operation carried out by Kenya Power security personnel. “Vandalism of electricity distribution equipment and illegal tapping of electrical energy serves to increase the level of power losses. @enock_x254
Alexander Forbes Vuna Pension Plan registers 14pc growth as assets now valued at Sh1.6bn The Alexander Forbes Vuna Pension Plan has registered a 14 per cent growth in its asset base which now stands at Sh1.6 billion, up from Sh1.4billion in 2015. The individual retirement scheme now has 30 participating employers and over 2,400 members. The firm’s Head of the Retail Division, Angela Okinda said despite a difficult year for investors, the scheme managed to register steady growth in its asset base, which she attributed to the positive returns and consistent member contributions. Addressing members during the 7th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Ms Okinda stated that many businesses in Kenya still lack pension funds for employees, a worrying culture which also ties with studies from the International labor organization (ILO) which indicate that only about five percent of the Sub-Saharan African population is covered by the contributory pension programmes.
“Even though it has been a difficult market for investors, Vuna membership and asset growth has been on the increase, a clear demonstration that this product we are offering is what the market need”, Ms Okinda added. She said individual pension plans can play a critical role in enhancing a dignified life in sunset years for retirees if well harnessed. In Kenya, over 56 per cent of the elderly people rely on their relatives and wellwishers for basic needs such as housing and medical care, a situation that can be easily addressed if Kenyans embraced the culture of saving for retirement from an early age. “The youth in this country has a lot of potential to generate good income and make adequate savings for their future. However this is not the case as many prefer luxurious lifestyles with little or no regard to saving. We need to change this mind-set and seek expert advice on financial management,” Ms Okinda
advised. Personal pension plans are suitable for the self-employed and employees who desire to save for their retirement, especially when they do not belong to any retirement benefits scheme. It enables one to remit monthly payment or a lump sum to pension providers who then invest the money on their behalf. The final worth of the pension fund will usually depend on one’s accumulated contributions and performance of the fund. She said the scheme is designed to assist individuals and groups to build up retirement capital in a tax efficient way, in order to provide retirees with sufficient income during retirement. The scheme also allows members to retire at any age after 50 years but earlier than 75 years and offers various benefits such as flexible contributions and optimal investment returns to members. @kevin_x254

FUSO launches ‘Highest-powered’ truck WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2016
The Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) has launched the highest-powered heavy-duty truck model in its very first market, Kenya, further increasing its presence in the country. The “TV” model is specially designed to meet a local need for heavy payloads and is the highest powered heavy-duty truck model in the FUSO product range. The TV3340S Tractor with technical GCW of 65 tons is equipped with the OM457 – a new 6 Cylinder, 11.97 liter engine with 400hp. The engine has already proven itself in terms of power and efficiency in the triad markets. The model adopts 12 speed power shift transmission and a hub-reduction with optimized rear axle ratios for different applications. The interior of the truck
includes a full cabin with a sleeper berth. Developed from the MercedesBenz Actros platform, the FUSO TV3340S is specially designed to meet the local demand for heavy payload and fuel efficiency by Kenyan container transporters. In Kenya, FUSO has established a good reputation for its fuel efficiency and superior performance on sloped terrains. “This extremely robust tractor has been added to our already wide product range in response to the demand for heavy-duty trucks. With this model in the Kenyan market our customers will have a wider choice of products to effectively cater to their needs. Though Kenya is the first market in the world to see the new FUSO product, we will subsequently introduce it in other
markets,” Mr. Michael Kamper, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Services said. In the Kenyan market, Simba Colt Motors has been FUSO’s partner for 48 years, making it one of the oldest general distributor relationships for FUSO worldwide. FUSO has sold 1,132 units during the period of January to July 2016 in Kenya. The sales have been increasing compared to the same period last year despite the weak commercial vehicle market situation. New vehicles and customer services are provided via19 locations throughout the country. “We are delighted that Kenya was chosen as the very first market to launch the TV model. We are convinced that this truck will more than satisfy the
various needs of the market and will prove to be a winner in the near future,” said Mr. Adil Popat, CEO for Simba Colt Motors. As part of its Customer Dedication strategy, Daimler Commercial Vehicles opened a new Regional Center (RC) in Nairobi, Kenya in February 2016. The RC is responsible for sales and customer services of all Daimler brands for East, Central and West Africa. The region, with a total population of 770 million people consists of 41 markets, including Kenya, Tanzania, and Nigeria. It offers great long-term potential for growth: 68 per cent of the population is under the age of 25 – no other region has a higher percentage. The dynamic development of the region is further supported by foreign
direct investment, which has grown to six times its level since 2000. In parallel with the growing economy, it can be assumed that the transport sector will further develop, thereby increasing the demand for commercial vehicles. FUSO has been launching its all-new range of trucks in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa since 2013. The new vehicle range including the TV tractor is manufactured in its state-of-the-art factory in Chennai, India and exported to the African markets. With this new model, the firm’s product portfolio has been widened thus increasing customer choices in the country where many more infrastructure projects are planned. @kevin_x254

Kenya to serve as East African gateway for quality education WEDNESDAY AUGUST 24, 2016
The Kenyan Commission for University Education (CUE) has granted The University of Northampton, UK, authority to collaborate with Edulink International College Nairobi (EICN). This, says the Commission, will allow Kenya to serve as East Africa’s gateway for quality education through Edulink International College Nairobi and the University of Northampton. Under the agreement, EICN will now offer a range of University of Northampton Business programmes at Foundation and Undergraduate levels beginning September 2016 at its Nairobi Campus. Following the deal, Edulink International College will help Kenyan students achieve their educational goals by offering quality UK Degrees from The University of Northampton at its Nairobi Campus. Students and their families will also reap further benefits by studying in Nairobi by eliminating the need for overseas travel and greatly reduced financial and psychological costs that overseas education incurs. “Edulink International College offers much more than just a quality UK degree in Kenya. It has now brought its UK partner’s unique approach to social development and global standard of producing exceptionally employable graduates to East African community, via its Nairobi Campus,” the group said in a statement released this morning. Following the CUE approval, Edulink CEO, Dr. Misho Ravic expressed appreciation to the Commission for its recognition of the Edulink’s efforts to support the attainment of Kenya Vision 2030 development strategy by investing in country’s education sector. Kenya’s Vision 2030 economic development programme aims to increase prosperity of all Kenyans by achieving an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 10 per cent per annum in the next 15 years. Competitive, educated
Director Business Development - Africa Mr. Simo S. Dubajic receiving the grant from the Commission for University Education (CUE). workforce supports this goal, through innovation, filling existing and creating new job opportunities and business ventures. “Collaboration with strong academic partners is the key to Edulink success. Our mission is to deliver worldclass higher education to developing communities around the world. We make this possible by making access to quality University qualifications open to all and enabling our students to obtain an internationally recognized
qualification from a quality UK university at home.” Dr. Ravic added. Edulink’s future strategy includes worldwide expansion of its existing educational network. Kenya is the latest project in this plan whose aim is to advance educational levels of East African Community (EAC) and make the local workforce regionally and globally competitive in line with current industry demands. Edulink International College was established in 2014 by Edulink
Consultants, an international business with head office based in Dubai. The Company owns and manages several Higher Education Institutes on three continents,along with a range of health and dental clinics and a specialised hospital in Dubai. The University of Northampton (UN) is a British university located in Central England, and is ranked among the top 50 UK universities (Guardian University League Tables 2015). @Dennis_x254
Jumia to launch mobile money wallet Leading pan African ecommerce platform Jumia has announced the inauguration of ‘JumiaPay’, a third party online payment solution aimed at providing a safer, faster and more-convenient online payment experience. The platform will, upon its launch, try to eliminate cash payments thus improving the security of customers’ money. It will facilitate online payments across the 23 African countries where it operates, encouraging the progressive change to cashless societies. JumiaPay comes as a major milestone for improving customers’ online experience for the coming months and years, following in the footsteps of Chinese ecommerce Alibaba and its online payment platform AliPay. Jeremy Hodara, Co-CEO of Jumia, emphasized the value of the new payment platform for the online customer saying Jumia Pay has a simple yet crucial objective. “JumiaPay seeks at providing a safe, a secure and a convenient shopping experience to our customers, building trust along the way between us, our thousands of sellers and our millions of customers,” he said. “We are very proud to be able to offer this new service to our customers and participate in building financial inclusion in Africa to unbanked or underbanked populations,” he added. JumiaPay will first be implemented in Jumia’s biggest market, Nigeria, with more innovations to come before the end of the year. The advantages of mobile money are central for ecommerce in African countries where mobile penetration is soaring and where the main challenges are to build trust for the customers and provide adequate payment systems. Fifty per cent of Jumia customers can already access the different platforms via their mobile phones. @enock_x254
Non-tariff barriers costing Comesa region Sh3.2 trillion annually The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, (COMESA) region is losing close to Sh3.2 trillion annually due to non-tariff barriers. Francis Mangeni the Director for Trade and Customs and Monetary Affairs at COMESA, says trade in the region stands at Sh1 trillion despite having a potential of Sh4.2 trillion annually or even more. Some of the non-tariff barriers in the region include lengthy customs procedures and administrative requirements, road blocks, technical standards, government participation in trade, lack of physical infrastructure among others. “COMESA has a potential trade of $42billion (Sh4.2 trillion) annually but at the moment what we are trading is even shamefully low. There is need for country member states to look into these issues, because sometimes we
deal with one, then there arises other three non-tariff barriers,” Mangeni said during a COMESA forum to address the matter. Non-tariff barriers are a form of restrictive trade measures where barriers to trade are set up and take a form other than a tariff. Nontariff barriers include quotas, levies, embargoes, sanctions and other restrictions, and are frequently used by large and developed economies. In June this year, the COMESA Secretariat working closely with member states said it had managed to eliminate 168 non-tariff barriers out of 172 which were reported since 2008. The most recent barrier to be resolved was between Swaziland and Zimbabwe where the latter had expressed doubts on the originating status of fridges and deep freezers manufactured in Swaziland from being sold in
Zimbabwe. Other countries whose bilateral trade that have also been largely affected by the trade barriers include Kenya, Zambia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Egypt and Rwanda.
Kenya’s Industry, Trade and Cooperatives Principal Secretary Dr Chris Kiptoo says there despite the progress being made and announced by the secretariat, a lot of investors doing cross-trade still experience challenges
hence the need for sensitization of the border officials. “The non-tariff barriers have contributed largely to the low level of intra regional trade which is estimated at 7 percent. In East Africa it is between 15 to 18 percent and in Africa general it is 10 percent. This is quite low compared to Europe and other regions outside the continent,” Kiptoo said. Though COMESA secretariat officials do not name the culprits, arguably, every member country uses a range of non-tariff barriers to regulate goods entering or transiting its territory for reasons like health, environment and security. “Unless we change this we will keep taking wealth to other countries and losing job opportunities yet we have what it takes to grow the region,” Kiptoo added.

V sets are considered by many people as necessities. They do serve to entertain millions of people after a long day’s work but they can also serve as a distraction from day to day tasks. TVs may have become sleeker-looking as time has gone by but that does not mean they necessarily tie in with the rest of the décor of the house. Concealing televisions behind furniture is becoming more popular not it mention it is an ingenious way to upgrade your home. Hide a TV behind artwork to give the illusion that the only thing present in your living room is some wonderful pieces of art. This could be incredibly beneficial where the theme of the rest of the room leans towards a more classical look. The artwork could be moved manually but it’s easy to get a remote controlled slider installed. Sticking to the sliding idea, is sliding doors. These can also be installed and be moved on some rollers or controlled automatically. The effect is especially impressive when the television is placed in an alcove. The third option includes placing the TV in a chest. This provides a safe place for the TV set to stay when not in use but it can also seem invisible to guests when they come over.

t o r e bought key holders are all well and good but a cute, cheaper and more fun option would be to create a your own leather tassel that will work just as well look way better than anything that could be purchased in a supermarket. The materials needed for this project are simple and easy to find. A 6 × 9” inch strip of leather, the colour can be any that you wish, a keychain, a pair of scissors and some glue. First cut off a centimetre to an inch long strip of leather off the length. Follow this by cutting numerous little

Don’t cut all the way through, leave about an inch at the top that will be used to gather the leather strips together. Take the first strip of leather that was cut off the initial piece and ‘thread’ it through the keyring. Fold it in half and fasten the loose end with glue. Roll the leather strips so that it forms one tasselled portion and use the glue to hold the gathering securely. Halfway through the rolling motion glue the leather piece attached to the keyring in the tassels. Continue gluing as you roll it up until the tassel is finished and there you have it!

o the Olympic spirit is still all round and one of the most challenging and most talked about events had to be the gymnastics competitions. We don’t have to showcase the incredible athleticism of an Olympian to enjoy the benefits of gymnastics. Coming up with a plan would be the first thing to do. Make sure your workout area is conducive for the exercise you are about to embark on. Gymnastics requires a fair amount of space for just one person so it would be wise to find a place that you can stretch out. Clothing should also take priority seeing as the movements and equipment involved would create a necessity for form-fitting gym wear. Flexibility and strength training are the core principles of gymnastics. Acquiring skill through practise follows after that. Some exercises to build up strength include weight lifting, push ups, squats and pull ups. These work outs not only build mass in the upper body but also strengthen leg muscles. Flexibly exercises are actually much easier to perform than many other types work out practices. Stretching is the foundation of improving flexibility in the body. Stretch every joint and muscle in the body that could possibly be stretched. From the neck, to the back, shoulders, ankles and calves. Limber up so that movements are made more freely and easily. Practising basic gymnastic skills comes last. Handstands, flips, handstand presses and cartwheels can be achieved but it takes practise. Adult gymnastics is not impossible all that is required is a little bit of time and a lot of dedication.

A benefactor has handed a reward of $390,000 (about Sh40 million) to the Nigerian Olympic football team in Brazil after the West African country won bronze on Saturday. Japanese plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu had promised to reward the team after hearing about their financial difficulties before and during the tournament. Takasu fulfilled his promise by presenting cheques of $200,000 and $190,000 to coach Samson Siasia and captain John Mikel Obi respectively on behalf of the team. He met with them two hours after Nigeria defeated Honduras 3-2 in the bronze medal play-off. “The $200,000 covers the bonuses and allowances as promised and the $190,000 is for the bronze medal,” Takasu told BBC Sport. “I had travelled from Tokyo prepared to reward them anyway, and to watch them win the bronze inside the stadium was very fulfilling,” he added. Before arriving in Rio, Nigeria’s ‘Dream Team VI’ were held up in Atlanta, USA, because of a problem with the payment for their flight, and they only landed in Brazil just hours before their opening 5-4 win over Japan. Nigeria also had a troubled build-up to their quarter-final against Denmark after the players boycotted a training session in a dispute over pay. “This team showed resilience and fought the hardest to achieve success, despite all their problems - some people would have given up but they didn’t,” said Takasu. “In everything we must always let people understand that they are appreciated and not just in football but generally in life.” Coach Siasia, who becomes the most decorated African football coach at the Olympics having won a silver medal in Beijing in 2008, thanked Takasu
for his generosity and support. “We can’t thank doctor Takasu enough because what he has done is amazing and unbelievable, we didn’t see this coming when we set out for the Olympics” Siasia told BBC Sport. “It’s not just about the money. You can’t equate his gesture in figures or words, to find a big supporter far away in Japan travel down here to cheer and back us is unbelievable. “I can only say a big thank you on behalf of my team and country, we pray God continue to bless him abundantly,” Siasia added. Nigeria, the 1996 Olympic football champions, are now the most successful African country in Olympic men’s football, and the first African country to complete an Olympic medal sweep having won a sliver medal in Beijing in 2008. Takasu’s swift financial reward is in sharp contrast to the unfulfilled promises back home. Some members of Nigeria’s Super Eagles - led by Stephen Keshi, who passed away in June - are still waiting for the houses they were promised by the government for winning the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia. Keshi is the fifth member of the so-called ‘Golden Generation’ of Nigerian footballers from 1994 to pass away, after Uche Okafor, Thompson Oliha, Rashidi Yekini and Wilfred Agbonavbare. Africa’s wealthiest businessman, Aliko Dangote, has failed to fulfil his promise to reward Nigeria’s team with $1m for winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. Nigerian economist and banker Tony Elumelu’s promise of $500,000 for the Super Eagles’ Nations Cup success in South Africa remains outstanding. The country’s squad members who won the first Fifa Under-16 World championship in 1985 were only rewarded after a 30-year wait.

Roma implosion sees Porto through

Italian side Roma failed to reach the Champions League group stage after having two men sent off in a 3-0 secondleg defeat by Porto. Roma were the favourites after drawing 1-1 in Portugal, but went behind when Felipe gave the visitors an early lead. They imploded as Daniele de Rossi and Emerson Palmieri were shown straight red cards either side of half-time. Miguel Layun slotted in Porto’s second, before Jesus Corona turned his marker to add the third moments later. Roma are the third Serie A team in successive years to lose in the play-off round, leaving Juventus and Napoli to represent Italy in tomorrow’s groupstage draw of Europe biggest club competition. French side Monaco also qualified for the group stages after they beat Spanish opposition Villarreal 1-0 at home to seal a 3-1 aggregate win. Fabinho converted from the spot late on to condemn last season’s Europa League semifinalists back to Europe’s second tier club competition. Elsewhere, Celtic survived a second-leg onslaught against Israeli side Hapoel Beer Sheva to reach the group stage for the first time in three seasons. The Scottish side won 5-2 in the first leg at home and held onto the lead despite
losing 2-0 in Israel. However, Ireland’s Dundalk were unable to become the first Irish side to qualify as they lost 3-1 on aggregate to Legia Warsaw of Poland. Bulgarian side Ludogorets joined the qualifiers in the next phase by drawing 2-2 at Czech hosts Viktoria Plzen to progress 4-2 on aggregate. Tonight, Premier League heavyweights Manchester City look to confirm their slot when they host Romanian side Steaua Bucarest. Pep Guardiola’s side thumped their opponents 5-0 away last week and are expected to have no problems easing through. German side Borussia M’Gladbach host Switzerland’s Young Boys with a 3-1 aggregate score in favour of the Bundesliga outfit. Russia’s Rostov held former Champions Ajax 1-1 last week in Netherlands are will be looking to make a surprise qualification to the league of the continent’s best. In other matches, FC Salsburg of Austria will do battle with Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb. The two teams also drew 1-1 in Zagreb a week ago. Danish giants FC Copenhagen travel to Nicosia, Cyprus to face APOEL whom they beat 1-0 in the first leg at home. @peter_x254

Liverpool powers past Burton in League Cup A
strong Liverpool side overwhelmed Championship outfit Burton Albion to reach the EFL Cup third round. The Reds led in the 15th minute when Divock Origi flicked in from close range before Roberto Firmino made it 2-0, heading in Nathaniel Clyne’s cross. Origi also went close when his low shot was saved by Stephen Bywater. Tom Naylor inadvertently put the ball in his own net after the break before Daniel Sturridge tapped in his first and then thumped home the Reds’ fifth. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made only four changes from the XI that started in the 2-0 league defeat at Burnley on Saturday. The quality of the visiting team was soon apparent at the Pirelli Stadium against a Burton side who have had a mixed start to their first ever season in the Championship. After Liverpool’s Belgian forward Origi cleverly profited from tricky work in the box from Sadio Mane, Brazilian Firmino doubled the lead following a terrible throw-out from goalkeeper Bywater. It was 3-0 just after the hour when the unfortunate Naylor had little time to react as James Milner’s ball came towards him at pace. And substitute Sturridge then grabbed a late double, converting at the far post from Milner’s pass before firing in low from 15 yards. “It’s difficult for our lads to compete with that sort of quality,” Burton manager Nigel Clough observed. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said he
wanted to use the game to fix the inefficiencies exposed at Burnley on Saturday where they surprisingly lost 2-0 over the weekend. “There were still a few situations where we were missing a bit of sharpness but the main problem was, it was unbelievable, our buildup and style of play at Burnley - one more pass but 15 times we are completely free in the box. So we needed to use this game and that’s what we did and it was better,” Klopp said after the match. In other League Cup matches played across England last night, Chelsea narrowly escaped past Bristol Rovers with a 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge. Michy Batshuayi scored either side of Victor Moses’ 31st minute strike to give the hosts a 3-1 lead at the break after the visitors pulled one back through Peter Hartley. Ellis Harrison then scored from the spot three minutes after the restart following a fould from Pedro in the area to create a nervy ending. Crystal Palace won 2-0 against visiting Blackpool but fellow Premier League sides Watford and West Brom were dumped out by League One outfits Gillingham and Northampton Town respectively. There were also wins for Swansea who beat Peterborough 3-1 and Everton, 4-0 winners at home against Yeovil Town. Hull City also continued their excellent start to the season with a 3-I win at Exeter City while Stoke City thumped Stevenage 4-0.
