SWEARING-IN | Nation traces surviving senators to their homes

Bearing witness to Kenya senate history

Senate Clerk says the presence of former senators at swearing-in a symbolic reminder of Kenyas history
BY NJERI RUGENE
nrugene@ke.nationmedia.com hen the Senate Clerk gets down to start swearing-in the Senators-elect at the Kenyatta International Conference Centres amphitheatre tomorrow, a special group of visitors will be watching with nostalgia. The elderly special guests will be among the few serving members of Kenyas independence Senate invited to witness the ceremony that will see the 67-Senate members sworn in after which they will elect their Speaker. Senate Clerk Jeremiah Nyegenye says the presence of the former senators to the occasion is symbolic, because it is a reminder of Kenyas history, as the Second Senate convenes for the rst meeting. The Constitution drafted at the second Lancaster House Constitutional Conference in February 1962, crated the Senate and the House of Representatives. Then, the Senate had 41 senators who had been elected to represent the districts at that time. This lasted for four years until 1966, when the House of Representatives and the Senate merged. When the Senate and the National Assembly convene tomorrow for their rst meetings, separately, Parliament will have undergone transformation, from a unicameral to a bicameral entity. The Nation traced the surviving senators who were interviewed at their homes. Mr Nathan Munoko, also a former Cabinet minister, said he was busy on his farm near Kitale, in Trans Nzoia County. The 91-year-old said by telephone: Im in the middle of something and if I get distracted, I may not make it to Nairobi on Thursday. However, he described devolution and the return of the Senate as a great thing. Mr Philip Toikan Lemein, the 86-year-old member of the independence Senate, is now secretary of the Narok Peace Committee. He is also the secretary of the Maasai Council of Elders as well as having been a member of several boards of schools. During the 2010 the promulgation ceremony in Narok Stadium, Lemein showed his patriotism when he shed tears of joy before a large crowd that turned up for the events. He talked of his days in the negotiations that brought about independence. Kenyans joys of freedom had been short-lived due to poor governance that threw many into poverty. The Lancaster constitution, which we mid-wifed was, despite its imperfections, a good document. But it was mutilated beyond recognition over time to create a monster that suited the whims of the ruling elite, he said.

William Kiptui Rotich: The 85-year-old represented the then Baringo District. Yesterday he was at home in Benonin Village in Kabiyet location of Eldama-Ravine constituency, Baringo County, relaxing with his wife and grandchildren. Mr Rotich, who has ventured into crop and dairy farming, welcomed the new devolved system, saying, vital government services have been brought closer to the people. WYCLIFF KIPSANG

Julius Muthama: One of the surviving members of the 1963 Senate and the only senator who represented the Larger Meru in the bi-cameral Parliament, Mr Julius Muthamia believes that making the counties fully operational is not as challenging as it was during their tenure. He is optimistic that with the new crop of senators, the country is geared towards greatness. I envisage better things, he said. KENNEDY KIMANTHI

Msaalam Mohammed Ali: When we spoke to him on Tuesday, former Lamu Senator Msaalam Mohammed Ali was making plans to attend the rst meeting of the Senate in Nairobi. The only point of concern for the 76-year-old father of nine and grandfather of 21 children, who lives with his family in Kizingitini Village in Faza was the long journey that he said would be strenuous for him given his advanced age. WINNIE ATIENO

Philip Toikan Lemein: The 86-year-old, a member of the independence Senate, now looks after his dwindling herd of cattle outside his Narok home. Mr Lemein, who also attended the Lancaster House conference and was former President Mois schoolmate, went back to teaching in primary school after the end of the 1963 Senate. After postelection violence, he started preaching peace among communities. GEORGE SAYAGIE

Henry Joshua Malingi: Dressed in his trade mark white shirt and a black trousers, Mzee Henry Joshua Malingi, 82, describes the reintroduction of the Senate by the 2010 Constitution as historic, and says he cannot wait to witness the rst meeting of the new batch of Senators at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre. I thank God to be alive to witness this event, he said. ROBERT NYAGAH

Gerald Kalya: Pioneer congressman to the Upper House, Gerald Kalya, 83, will be following the events on television at his Mosoriot home in Nandi County. I would have wished to attend the opening ceremony of the new House, but my health cannot allow it, said Mzee Kalya, who is among the surviving creators of the countrys Senate house invited to Nairobi for the ceremony. BARNABAS BII

Embu Shadrack Nyaga: Embus rst member of the independence Senate, Mzee Shadrack Nyaga, is eager to attend the Thursday swearing-in of the Senatorselect. The 86-year old, now a peasant farmer in Kamiu Village, Embu West District, has nostalgic memories of how they used to shelve Bills by the Lower House, which they deemed extraneous. He served in the house for just two years. CHARLES WANYORO

Ondiek Chillo: Mr Chillo, 86, nearly missed the rst sitting of the Senate on a technicality. Yesterday, he said from his Nyakach home, that he did not care when his name was not among those invited because his life has been going on. I was surprised at the number of calls I received from people who did not see my name on the initial list, he said as he prepared to travel to Nairobi. LILLIAN OCHIENG

Chief Justice Willy Mutunga had on Monday asked them to decide during lunch break the issues they would want the court to decide upon from the three petitions. They could not agree, and each party was asked to le its list of issues for determination. They will have 15 minutes each this morning to discuss before the court what they would like the judges to determine. Mr Fred Ngatia for President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday told the judges that four of the teams had led

Vote re-tally Police ready to handle amid tight poll petition outcome security
BY NATION REPORTER BY NATION REPORTER
There was tight security at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre as re-tallying of presidential ballots continued yesterday. A contingent of General Service Unit , regular and Administration Police officers kept vigil outside the premises as the recount ordered by the Supreme Court was going on. Only the party agents, electoral commission and Judiciary ocials were allowed at the hall. The media was not allowed access into the hall. On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered the re-tallying of the presidential votes in 22 polling stations across the country. The judges also ordered a fresh scrutiny of all the Forms 34 and Forms 36. All reports and results must be led with the court by 4pm today. Police will be on high alert when the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on the presidential petition. Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo said his ocers are under instructions not to favour any side regardless of the courts decision scheduled for Saturday. Cord presidential candidate Raila Odinga has challenged the electoral commissions declaration of Jubilees Uhuru Kenyatta as the countrys fourth president. Nobody will be allowed to be disrespectful of the law, the court or any other legal instruments of our land. People have the right to be heard, but this right also comes with responsibility and as such, we are cautioning members of the public never to engage in acts or conduct that will be prejudicial to the law, Mr Kimaiyo said in a statement. Acting police spokesman Masoud Mwinyi, who read

the remarks, added that no violence was expected from supporters of the political coalitions. So far, there are no signs that the ruling will result in chaos in the country. But in case we are required to review our operations that day then we are prepared, he said. As the Supreme Court sat for the second day yesterday, the United States advised American citizens in Kenya that the ruling could lead to violent incidents. Part of the brief posted on the ocial website of the US embassy in Nairobi read in part: There could be a strong public reaction to the announcement; therefore, the US Embassy strongly urges all US citizens to avoid gatherings. The Americans were further advised to keep away from downtown business areas and slums. Mr Kimaiyo reiterated an earlier call to Kenyans to keep o political gatherings and demonstrations.

Shaban steps down from Cabinet post

BY NATION REPORTERS
Gender Minister Naomi Shaban has quit the Cabinet ahead of tomorrows swearing-in of MPs. Dr Shaban, who has served in the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development since August 2010, said she handed her letter of resignation to President Kibaki yesterday. Since I have been given a third term by the people of Taita Taveta constituency, I have just written to the President to tender my resignation pending my swearing-in on Thursday as a Member of Parliament, Dr Shaban told journalists at the ministry oces in Nairobi. She thanked her team for the gains the ministry had achieved during her tenure. Education Minister Mutula Kilonzo will quit his Cabinet position today, he said last evening at a meeting to brief ministry ocials on new rules that compel parents to take all children to school. The regulations developed in line with the new Basic Education Act, had been forwarded to Attorney-General Githu Muigai, he said. Related story on Back Page

he swearing-in of elected leaders set for today and tomorrow will go on as planned after the High Court dismissed an application seeking to stop the ceremony. Three petitioners had gone to court under a certicate of urgency yesterday, seeking to block the swearing-in until the Supreme Court has ruled on the validity of the presidential poll result. The case was that the validity of the voter registers and conduct of the election ocials are the subject of two petitions before the Supreme Court, whose verdict is due before March 30. The petitioners argued that in the event the Supreme Court nds the voter register invalid, then the election of

all persons who vied for the six positions in the March 4 poll would be nullied. They would, therefore, have to relinquish their respective oces, the petitioners added. Mr Justice David Majanja, however, said he could not grant orders stopping the swearing-in of the elected leaders until the Supreme Court determined the validity of the electoral commissions declaration of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta as the new President. JUDGMENT

He said that what the petitioners were seeking could only be determined by the Supreme Court The High Court lacks jurisdiction to deal with any matter touching upon presidential election disputed. The Constitution provides that such matters can only be dealt with by the Supreme Court, Mr Justice Majanja said. The judge further held that granting orders quashing the Gazette notice dated March 13, which declared names of the duly-elected governors and their deputies, was unlawful. He added that it was also unlawful to quash the Gazette notice dated March 20, which had declared names of elected Members of Parliament. Upon such gazettement, Mr Justice Majanja said, they became members of the respective positions. According to the Constitution, the judge further noted, a question of determination of membership could only be determined through an election petition.

What the judge said

The Constitution, Election Act and the rules made thereunder do not contemplate the court taking steps to stop the swearing in of governors or members of County Assemblies or stopping them from taking up their Constitutional responsibility. Justice David Majanja

He said President Kibaki would continue to lead the nation until he hands over power to a new Head of State. Kenyans should not read too much into the recent military farewell to mean he is not the Head of State, he said. The VP urged county governments to make use of the technical expertise of prison industries to equip and furnish their ofces and facilities instead of hiring more expensive private rms. He said the department could supply equipment and construct buildings and that the new MPs will take their oath of oce in chambers refurbished by the Prisons industries. Praising the department for manufacturing seats for the refurbished House of Assembly, Mr Musyoka said it would soon be exporting its products in the region. Mr Musyoka said the Girls Borstal Institution, the first in the country, will rehabilitate girls who break the law, adding that United Nations conventions advocate that such children be separated from adults.

Court summons PS over workers pay rise

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Local Government permanent secretary Karega Mutahi has been summoned to court for frustrating the implementation of a pay rise for workers in local authorities. Prof Mutahi (below) risks civil jail on being accused of being in contempt of a court order that sanctioned the pay increase. He is accused of outing labour laws and a Collective Bargaining Agreement eected on September 1, 2012, which was duly registered at the Industrial Court, claiming that it did not follow the guidelines of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. The Kenya Local Government Workers Union has accused him of meddling and blocking the enforcement of the orders of the court and now want him tried for contempt. The PS has issued a letter contrary to the court orders, he should be cited for contempt, lawyer Katunga Mbuvi for the workers union said. Yesterday, Prof Mutahi honoured the court summons that required him to appear in person to show cause why he was blocking the pay rise but the proceedings were adjourned as the presiding judge was away on other duties. The summons were extended by Lady Justice Maureen Onyango to April 4 after she rejected the PSs request for a reversal. He had been invited to court to explain why he was frustrating the pact and shed light on his counter directive contained in a latter dated February 27 ordering town councils to disregard the agreement. An attempt by his lawyer to have the court reverse the order requiring him to appear personally in the proceedings on the grounds that he was busy was also rejected.

Four charged with kidnap of twin girls

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Four people were yesterday charged with kidnapping twin sisters. The accused included Ugandan Gloria Faith Amoit, who separately faced an additional charge of being in the country illegally. The others are Ms Ann Wanjiru Muthoni, Mr Godfrey Gitau Njeri and Ms Mary Wangari Kamau. They all denied the charges before acting senior Thika principal magistrate Desderious Orimba. The prosecution, led by chief inspector Josephine Wambua, alleges that on March 21, at Membley Estate in Ruiru, Kiambu County, they kidnapped Faith Wangui and her twin sister Esther Waruguru both aged 16 months. Lawyer Kamau Mbiyu, for the accused, told the court that the three accused women were tortured while in police custody. The three were subjected to physical and mental torture as they were stripped and their clothes, including underwear, torn. They also say the police inserted objects in their private parts in an attempt to extract a confession, the lawyer alleged. He also told the court the accused were arrested on March 24 and taken to court, after 24 hours had expired. Mr Orimba ordered that the women be escorted to hospital and directed the Ruiru CID ocer to furnish the court with a report on the torture claims. The court deferred its ruling on an application for bond until March 28 when the matter will be mentioned.

12 morans held for killing lion

KWS urges villagers to report attacks and await compensation instead of targeting wild animals

enya Wildlife Service wardens yesterday arrested 12 Maasai morans at Oldonye Sampu in Kajiado County for allegedly killing a lion that was part of a pack which mauled three cows. Two people were injured in the attack and are receiving treatment in hospital. The arrest comes one week after another lion was killed when wild animals invaded their village and killed one cow, 41 sheep and several goats. Human wildlife conict has been a problem in areas bordering parks

especially during the rainy seasons when the animals lack food since wildebeests and the rest of the prey migrate to other parts of the country. According to Pastor Simon Parsaloi, more than six lions invaded a homestead and mauled three cows. In retaliation, the villagers followed the lions and killed one near Chillu Hills. It was around 3am when the four lions invaded a home and killed the three cows. The morans then gave chase and managed to kill one of the lions, said Mr Parsaloi. Yesterday KWS wardens from Tsavo West combed the area and arrested 12 morans, who were taken to Mtito Andei Police Station. KWS spokesperson Paul Mbugua conrmed that the morans would be arraigned in a Makindu court. Our wardens from Tsavo West arrested 12 Maasai morans suspected to have killed a lion they claimed had

No compensation is given nor is there a consolation fee for the aected residents, said Mr Moses Lemunanda. Residents have asked the government to take the wild animals away and vowed that nothing would stop them from killing the beasts since the government was earning from the wildlife at their expense. We dont receive any compensation from conservancy agencies or KWS. We appeal to the government to take necessary action to save the pastoral community, said Mr Joel Saruni. A fortnight ago, a man was injured in an attack by a hyena.

Four accused of dealing in Sh1m heroin

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Four people were yesterday separately charged with trafficking in heroin worth Sh1.1 million. Mr Mohamed Jabir, Ms Elizabeth Kina, Mr Ismael Otieno and Nigerian Anthony Arinze, denied the charges before Mombasa chief magistrate Stephen Riechi. The four allegedly committed the oence on Monday at Royal Apartments Bamburi, Mwembe Tayari and Nyali Estate. Mr Jabir and Ms Kina were jointly charged with tracking in 268.7 grammes of heroin with a street value of Sh537,400. Prosecutor Samson Kiptum opposed bail, arguing that chances of the absconding were high. But defence lawyers Jared Magolo and Stephen Odiagga urged the magistrate to free them on bond. Mr Jabir and Ms Kina were remanded in custody until April 5 when the court will rule on the application to be released on bond. The case will be heard on May 10. Mr Arinze allegedly tracked in 300 grammes and nine sachets of heroin with a street value of Sh601,800. The magistrate directed the case be mentioned tomorrow for the defence to apply for bail. The case will be heard on May 17. Mr Otieno, who was allegedly found tracking in 24 sachets of heroin with a street value of Sh7,200, was remanded in custody pending the hearing of the case on April 24. Picture on Page 38

The party says Ms Lydia Mathias name, which it had submitted, was missing from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) list. As a result, TNA has led a petition at the High Court accusing the IEBC of discriminating against Ms Mathia because she is Kikuyu.

I contracted Aids after rape, man tells court

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A 24-year-old man yesterday told a Nakuru court that he contracted Aids after a friend he had met in church sexually assaulted him. The man testied that Mr Jackson Mathenge lured him to his house with the promise that he would get a job for him. According to the complainant, Mr Mathenge sexually assaulted him on March 4 last year in Nakuru. The complainant recalled that he met the accused in church and they became friends. Mr Mathenge allegedly promised to nd him a job in a hotel where he worked. During prayers he signalled that he knew me. After the service we picked a mutual friendship and he told me I looked familiar. He even promised to nd me a job after he asked what I did for a living, said the man. He said that Mr Mathenge later asked him to prepare his documents for submission to his manager and invited him to deliver them to his house. He told me I would have to spend a night at his house so as to wake up early enough and go to his place of work where I was to meet the manager and start working, the victim said. The complainant said he visited the accuseds house and they had supper together. But I felt dizzy before I could nish my food and dozed o, he told the court. He woke up in the morning naked and with a lot of pain in his private parts. He told me he would kill me if I raised the alarm but I managed to get out and went directly to the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital where I was put on anti-retroviral drugs. Months later when he returned to the hospital, he tested HIV positive, he told the court. The case continues on June 4.

A Chinese man yesterday admitted smuggling ivory through Kenya and was ned Sh30,000. Tian Yi told a Makadara court that he was guilty of smuggling 439 pieces of the white gold from Congo Kinshasa to Hong Kong via Nairobi. The 50-year-old man was arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport aboard Flight KQ 860. The contraband had been cut into pieces and painted brown. The pieces were in a suitcase alongside tree barks to disguise them as traditional medicine. The ivory was detected and intercepted by a joint security team comprising ocers from Airports Police Unit, Kenya Revenue Authority, Kenya Airways and the Kenya Wildlife Service. Last week, KWS rangers arrested two men and seized four pieces of ivory weighing 83 kilogrammes in Kasigau Village in Taita Taveta. Three suspected poachers were also arrested at the weekend and ivory weighing 27 kilogrammes, two poisoned arrows and a weighing machine seized in the same region.

End conicts to make devolution meaningful

he transition to devolved government begins today with the swearing-in of governors. With members of county assemblies and their Speakers having been sworn in last week, what remains is the appointment of county executive committees, which are charged with implementing decisions made by county assemblies. So far, debate on the transition has focused on oces and resources required by county assemblies and governors. While that is in order, a more substantive discussion should focus on the role and mandate of the two institutions. Broadly, the principles of devolution are contained in Chapter 11 of the Constitution, while the functions of county governments are provided for in the Fourth Schedule. Arising from the constitutional provisions, the County Governments Act was enacted last year and provides the ne details of what the counties should do. There are other related pieces of legislation on devolution. But the critical point of discussion is the confusion over how the county governments will relate with the national one. More fundamentally, is the relationship between governors and county commissioners, who are being retained in the wake of the National Government Service Coordination Act despite the provisions of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, which requires that the provincial administration be phased out. Moreover, another law, the County Governments Public Finance Management Act, excludes county governments from directly handling funds from the government. Instead, County Treasuries are established that are answerable to the central government through the Transition Authority. This means we need to clearly dene and give meaning to the roles and mandates of the county governments and in particular, governors, vis-a-viz other government functionaries.

DEVOLUTION | Jaindi Kisero

Disputes over oces for governors point to tough transition ahead

W
ith county governors being sworn in today, Kenya is at a decisive stage in the implementation of the devolved system of government. I predict more turf wars between governors and Nairobi-based based bureaucrats. The Oce of the President appears to be remodelling itself to share executive functions with the new oce of the governor. How else do you explain the numerous cases where the Oce of the President has come out to countermand decisions made by the Transitional Authority over allocation of oces and houses for governors? Long before the general elections, the Transitional Authority announced that the oces of the governor of Nairobi would be located at Shell BP House on Harambee Avenue. A few weeks ago, that arrangement was countermanded by an announcement by Government spokesman Muthui Kariuki. All over the country, governors have been made to engage in sterile disputes with the Oce of the President over houses and oces. Clearly, the Nairobibased bureaucracy is still in the old mindset, ghting to retain functions, powers and resources which the Constitution has transferred to the grassroots. My warning to the Nairobi-based bureaucrats is the following: If you persist in frustrating governors, you will soon nd yourself in the Supreme Court to explain why you are clinging on to responsibilities you dont have under the schedule of functions stipulated in the Constitution. Indeed, the schedule of functions under the Constitution is so clear about the powers and functions which will continue to be exercised at the centre and those that must be exercised by the governor. The way I see it, it is going to take a long time before the new system of governors takes root. It seems to me that we have not done a great deal of preparatory work in costing all the functions that have been transferred to the counties. Neither have we done much work in assessing each countys capacity to collect taxes assigned to it by the Constitution. We did not do a good job at putting together the cost of putting in place the institutions and infrastructure for county governments. Do we want to create counties which will forever be asking for funds from the central government or do we want to encourage them to collect the taxes assigned to them? Should we just throw all the money at all the governors in the country without exception or adopt a phased-approach where money is disbursed depending on capacity to absorb and manage it? We must not forget that the ordinary mwananchi living in rural areas has high expectations from the county system of government. The popular belief is that with 15 per cent of revenues being channelled to counties, governors will have huge discretionary resources at their disposal. The small businessman and contractor in the countryside believes that with procurement laws being changed to give preference to locals in the award of contracts, the new system will open new opportunities. What is not appreciated is that a good proportion of the money being transferred will be eaten up in funding existing functions and programmes which the central government has been running in the counties. These existing programmes and services will not just stop because a governor has come to town. It is the same money that will be used to pay salaries and run rural dispensaries, health centres and the existing government hospitals in each county. Part of the money will be channelled into funding existing agricultural extension services and paying the salaries of staers working for the Ministry of Agriculture at the local level. We must not forget that according to the schedule of functions stipulated in the Constitution, education, agriculture and health services will be run by the governor with Nairobi only dealing with policy matters. Will the money we are transferring to counties be enough to pay for all the functions we have transferred to them? How do we make sure that most of the money channelled to the grassroots does not end up paying salaries? From a public expenditure management standpoint, devolution is going to be a risky experiment. jkisero@ke.nationmedia.com

Restore order in CAR

he fall of the Central African Republic government underlines the fragile state of many African countries. It also exposes the impotence of the African Union and other institutions bound to preserve democracy, peace and security. President Francois Bozize ed after rebels advanced on the capital, Bangui, at the weekend. A token South African military contingent in the country to support the weak government army was unable to oer meaningful resistance as the rebels advanced, and indeed suered casualties. France also has a small armed force in one of its former colonies, but its role will most likely be limited to protecting French citizens. The fallen president himself came to power through a putsch so might not be sorely missed. However, this is the time for the AU to stand up and be heard. It must, with the support from the United Nations, force the new regime to live up to its pledge of a swift restoration of democratic rule. A signicant peace-keeping force will be required to stabilise the country, especially if the rebel coalition collapses into feuding factions.

With several roads in Nairobi undergoing major reconstruction, he adds, the projects are taking a longer time, with trac being diverted, causing heavy jams in some places. One way out, he proposes, is to carry out the repairs mainly at night, from say, 8pm to 5am when there is no trac. His contact is nmrkenya@gmail.com. TAPS RUNNING DRY.

OBITUARY | Ngugi wa Thiongo

rst met Chinua Achebe in 1961 at Makerere, Kampala. His novel, T hings Fall Apart, had come out two years before. I was then a second year student, the author of just one story, Mugumo, published in Penpoint, the literary magazine of the English Department. At my request, he looked at the story and made some encouraging remarks. My next encounter was more dramatic, on my part at least, and would aect my life and literary career profoundly. It was at the now famous 1962 conference of writers of English expression. Achebe was among a long line of literary luminaries that included Wole Soyinka, J.P. Clark, Eskia Mphahlele, Lewis Nkosi and Bloke Modisane. The East African contingent consisted of Grace Ogot, Jonathan Kariara, John Nagenda and I. My invitation was on the strength of my short stories published in Penpoint and in Transition. But what most attracted me was not my being invited there as writer but the fact that I would be able to show Achebe the manuscript of my second novel, what would later become Weep Not Child. It was very generous of him to agree to look at it because, as I would learn later, he was working on his novel, Arrow of God. Because of that and his involvement in the conference, he could not read the whole manuscript, but

Achebes passing marks beginning of the end of an epoch in African writing I

the novel. I was woken to reality when I entered a club, the most frequented by the new African elite at the time, who all greeted me as their Kenyan author of Things Fall Apart. Years later, at Achebes 70th birthday celebrations at Bard College attended by Toni Morrison and Wole Soyinka among others, I told this story of how Achebes name had haunted my life. When Soyinkas turn to speak came, he said I had taken the story from his mouth: He had been similarly mistaken for Achebe. The fact is Achebe became synonymous with the Heinemann African Writers Series and African writing as a whole. Theres hardly any African writer of my generation who has not been mistaken for Achebe. I have had a few of such encounters. The last such was in 2010 at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport. Mukoma, the author of Nairobi Heat , and I had been invited for the Kwani? festival whose theme was inter-generational dialogue. As he and I walked towards the immigration desk, a man came towards me. His hands were literally trembling as he identied himself as a professor of literature from Zambia. Excuse me Mr Achebe, somebody pointed you out to me. I have long wanted to meet you. No, no I am not the one, I said, but here is Mr Achebe, I added pointing at my son. I thought the obvious youth

Chinua Achebe
he read enough to give some useful suggestions. More important, he talked about it to his publisher, William Heinemann, represented at the conference by June Milne, who expressed an interest in the work. Weep Not, Child would later be published by Heinemann and the paperback by Heinemann Education Publishers, the fourth in the now famous African Writers series of which Achebe was the Editorial Adviser. I was working with the Nation newspapers when Weep Not, Child came out. It was April 1964, and Kenya was proud to have its rst modern novel in English by a Kenyan African. Or so I thought, for the novel was well published in the Kenyan newspapers, the Sunday Nation even carrying my interview by de Villiers, one of its senior features writers. I assumed that every educated Kenyan would have heard about

of my son would tell him that I was being facetious. But no, our professor grabbed Mukomas hands grateful that he had at last shaken hands with his hero. The case of mistaken identity as late as 2010 shows how Achebe had become a mythical gure, and rightly so. He was the single most important figure in the development of modern African literature as writer, editor and quite simply a human being. His novel, Things Fall Apart, the most widely read novel in the history of African literature since its publication in 1958 became an inspiring model. As the general editor of the Heinemann African Writers Series, he had a hand in the emergence of many other writers and their publication. As a person, he embodied wisdom that comes from a commitment to the middle way between extremes and, of course, courage in the face of personal tragedy! Achebe bestrides generations and geographies. Every country in Africa claims him as their own. Some sayings in his novels are quoted frequently as proverbs that contain universal wisdom. His passing marks the beginning of the end of an epoch.

Voters waiting to cast ballots in the March 4 polls. ADVERTS A WASTE.

I loathe the adverts because they sound like an attempt to hide something, and in any case, they are not necessary, as there is a petition in the Supreme Court, concludes Samsam, whose contact is samsamoresi@ymail.com.

ROAD TO PROGRESS | Kingsley Amoako

Transform farming to create jobs for youth

frica today presents a mixed picture. Economic growth is defying expectations. Yet, the continent is short of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for 2015. The MDGs have succeeded remarkably in focusing the worlds attention on poverty and on policies to reduce it rather than wait for growth to trickle down. But progress for many countries, especially in Africa, has been much too slow. On a global level, we have almost achieved MDG 1 halving the number of people living below $1.25 a day from 1990 to 2015. Sub-Saharan Africa had only achieved a 16 per cent reduction by 2008. While progress may be slow, we are moving in the right direction. On one front, though, Africa is on a precipice: Jobs! So where will those jobs come from? The situation calls for interventions targeted at creating productive jobs. Growth, for sure, is a prerequisite. On that count, Africa is on the right track as many countries hover above or near the seven per cent growth threshold for economic take-o. But as the World Bank reports, Africas economic growth has not come with commensurate creation of jobs. Growth is more equitable, sustainable and job-creating when it happens through structural transformation. Transformation is growth through making the shift from farming to

A transforming economy more than just a growing economy can create stable, wage-paying jobs and share the fruits of prosperity
manufacturing and services; expanding the technical capabilities of people and institutions and upgrading the technologies that people use on farms, rms and government oces. All these channels are mutually reinforcing. A transforming economy more than just a growing economy can create stable, wage-paying jobs and share the fruits of prosperity. And thus, a Nigeria can become a Brazil. How, then, to transform? First, start on farms. Africas economic transformation has to begin with the modernisation of agriculture, the sector that makes up the bulk of most African economies and on which most of the extremely poor rely for subsistence. Not only does higher productivity boost the incomes of smallholders and increase food supply, it also enables the development of o-farm employment. And agriculture can serve as the foundation for manufacturing and

services through agro-processing. Second, develop skills. Across Africa, millions of university graduates are frustrated by their fruitless search for jobs while companies are frustrated by their fruitless search for the right practical skills. Preparing for the next generation of jobs calls for a renewed focus on technical and vocational education and training. Third, invest in infrastructure. The positive spillovers from improved infrastructure are wide-ranging: From steadier manufacturing to more reliable services, especially those in exportoriented industries. As the McKinsey Global Institute reports, Malis exports of mangoes to the European Union grew six-fold between 2003 and 2008 after a concerted publicprivate programme helped the country build integrated road, rail and other infrastructure necessary to access export markets. The same can be said for cut owers in Kenya and Ethiopia, now producing hundreds of millions of dollars in export revenues every year. Several key interventions drive transformation, but these three are critical towards lling Africas urgent need to create stable jobs. Dr Amoako is the founding president of the African Centre for Economic Transformation and former executive secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Africa.

To the editor
Security organs are the ones raising tension
I read Macharia Gaithos analysis on security matters with much surprise (Nation, March 25). The article, Security team bent on silencing dissenting voices exposes the soft underbelly of our powers that be. There are people who are hell-bent on securing absolute power even when the instruments of power are handed over ocially. The late night National Security Advisory Council meeting that was called by Mr Kimemia on grounds of increasing tension indeed raises eyebrows. I strongly believe that the constitution provides for an aggrieved party in the election to lodge a petition with the court, and therefore it is within the constitutional right of Cord to seek redress in the highest court in the land. The PM should not be victimised for exercising his constitutional right. It was wise of Mr Raila Odinga to call o the planned rallies that could have precipitated some tension, but it was completely incomprehensible for the NSAC to call any meeting to address this particular matter. It is also surprising the security team is already reporting to the President-elect irrespective of the fact that the Supreme Court decision to determine the outcome of the election is still awaited. Is this not disrespecting the judicial process? It was also wrong for the Kimemia led team to refer to Cord supporters as idle, noisy mobs... as this was tantamount to abuse. It is my prayer that the law should be left to take its course. Some of these sideshows we are seeing should stop forthwith as they are likely to raise tempers. VIVERE NANDIEMO, Ikerege

Moral crusaders against condom ad are part of the problem in Aids war
he proverbial ostrich with a knack for burying its head in the sand would have been very much at home in Kenya. This is because Kenyans not only like burying their heads in the sand, but also cherish living in self-denial. The case in point is the heat that was generated by Weka Condom Mpangoni advert. This was a public campaign encouraging use of condom among women in sexual relationship outside marriage. The heat forced Population Service International, who are the sponsors of the campaign, to suspend the advert on March 19 amid mounting protests from religious leaders as debate for and against the advert raged in the social media. Ironically, religious leaders who are up in arms against the advert have a representative who sits in the National Aids Control Council (NACC) board that came up with the advert. Those whose ire has been drawn by the advert describe it as immoral and misleading. According to them, women are depicted as cheats. They also claim that the advert encourages indelity and casual sex among Kenyans. It is imperative to note that the controversial advert was informed by research that shows that married couples are three times more likely to be infected with HIV compared to prostitutes. The Kenya AIDS epidemic update 2012, described as the rst comprehensive update of HIV and Aids epidemic in the country over the

But Adrians doesnt realise that what comes out of radio programmes is basically a work of ction. Those calls by distraught wives and girlfriends are stage-managed.

The findings warn that more than 44.1 per cent of all new HIV infections are occurring in stable or long-term relationships, including marriages, and that 65 per cent of recent infections occurred among women under 35 years while 40.1 per cent for men aged 35-44 years were victims. Prostitutes accounted for a paltry 14.05 per cent of new infections followed closely by those engaging in casual sex, like one night stands, at

Political process hurting learning in our schools

Recent times have seen learning neglected at the expense of political processes. In the 2007 elections the country come to a standstill as we fought and delayed the curriculum. This was reected in the drop in performance mainly KCPE. This worsened last year as schools were closed during the teachers strike. Most of the students joining Form One have already missed half of First Term, and there seems to be no hope now that all the focus is on the current elections. Political processes cannot be evaded but they should leave the education sector out of it. NICHOLAS KOMU, Nairobi

20.28 per cent. The report further estimated that 45 per cent of married couples who are HIV positive have partners who are not currently infected, therefore putting their discordance at great risk. Tragically for this country, religious leaders and other selfanointed moral crusaders will not let those in the know deal with problems at hand without erecting unwarranted hurdles. If they are not happy with such strategies, the best they can do is to give the best alternative of passing useful information. KIMANI WA NJUGUNA, Gatundu

FILL THE EARTH?: The suggestion by Siaya governor-elect that Luos should give birth to as many children as possible is, to me, a disaster. The fact that it is coming from a governor is even more disappointing considering that he should be at the forefront of creating an enabling environment for government policies. Statistics show that the more children one delivers, the higher the chances of the children dying. It is, therefore, pointless to urge Luos to deliver more children for the purpose of voting. JULLIE ODONGO, Bondo BANGUI BANDITS: I have to confess I did not know the name of the last President of the Central African Republic. I now know they called him Franois Boziz... But alas! He has been overthrown before we could get acquainted, by some rebels, who in press photos, really look like cattle rustlers from Todonyang. Seriously though, I think I recall someone famously say (rather cheekily, I think) that choices have consequences . Another declared essential contact with Kenya over ICC suspects. What do you say of the bandits in Bangui? GACHIENGO GITAU, Nairobi DUSTY TOWN: Voi is a town with tourist potential. But only one street is of tarmac. Whenever I venture into this town, I get annoyed with the red soil causing dust in busy streets. Right from the stadium to the divisional headquarters, it all resembles the surface of planet Mars red. I hope that with the change of guard, attention will be put on infrastructure. Whenever we make a tour of the jungles in the East or West of Tsavo National Park, the nearest town at reach is Voi. So the red soil town should be helped to grow. Its an important jewel and a good stopover between Nairobi and Mombasa. JUSTIN N. NKARANGA, Mombasa

Police have become sitting ducks since their focus is on bribes

Recent events cast doubts on the quality of the training our police service oers. Police are no longer prepared to protect lives of civilians, leave alone their own, and have become sitting ducks. Recently in Trans Nzoia, two policemen who had gone to lay an ambush for a wanted criminal were outsmarted by the very criminal and killed. It defeats logic how one gangster tear-gassed and surrounded in his den at 3am can wake up and kill all but one policeman. This should be stu for the movies. This came soon after dozens of freshly trained policemen got themselves shot by ethnic militias in Bargoi. Cases of gangsters ambushing armed police, even with pangas as happened in Mombasa on voting day, where 10 policemen were killed, are on the rise. In many cases, criminals take their weapons too. A loaded gun is supposed to be handled in a given way. Yet during the elections a police ocer accidentally shot and killed a presiding ocer. These days, police on patrol take turns to enter wines and spirits dens to collect protection fee. Meanwhile muggers have a eld day. Images of a trac ocer getting a thorough beating show they have also become easy prey to touts and drivers. Needless to say, trac department is the most coveted and sought after, since bribe-taking is the norm. One wishes trac police had pocket-less uniforms. MALIK SUMBA, Mumias

YESTERDAYS QUESTION

DEBATE QUESTION

Are MPs and governors-elect justied to demand higher salaries?

KIPLAGAT MICHAEL: Governors and MPs represent the people and I dont mind whatever they demand in salary as long as they deliver. LINCOLN KINYUA: Not at all, thats the work of the salaries commission. Let them work. DENNIS JOHNSTONE ONYINO: No! Their proposed salary increase will lead to protests. MERCY SHIBIRA: My answer is No. I am deeply disappointed by the move by the MPs-elect. These fellows are just trying to show Kenyans how greedy they are. It is obvious they had no intention of keeping their pledges to voters. Shame on them all! STEKAWA STEVEN: No! They have not even commenced their duty. That is betrayal from the word go. DAVID K. KANDA: Governors and MPs-elect should know they are peoples servants, not masters. BRENDAH GEM: No. Weve hardly seen the outcome of their work. SONI NANCY: The that fact they are raising this before being sworn in shows how money-minded they are.

Honeymoon is over, Kidero warns debtors

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The honeymoon is over for Nairobi residents indebted to County Hall now that Governor-elect Evans Kidero has told them to pay up from next week. I have been at County Hall for close to a week and found that people demand service delivery yet County Hall cannot operate with less than 40 per cent of revenue collection. People must pay their debts to enjoy services, he said yesterday. He said he had learnt in meetings with departmental heads that the county was owed Sh100 billion, dating back to 2003. Dr Kidero said the most aected were land rates, parking charges, water bills and market fees. Tenants in areas like Garden Square stopped paying rent in 2003. This is just one of the many examples, he said. He, however, indicated that he would use persuasion to recover the money and invoking the law would be the last resort. We will persuade debtors to pay what they owe. I know Nairobi residents are civilised and will see the sense of fullling their civic duty without us compelling them to do so, he said. Dr Kidero said the state of aairs at County Hall was pathetic and he would hire professionals to change things. This will help us to gradually resuscitate it to a functional system that will deliver 24-hour services to the people of Nairobi, he said. He was speaking during a familiarisation tour of Serangombe ward in Kibera. He was accompanied by Director of City Inspectorate Hillary Wambugu and area county representative Pius KOtieno.

State urged to suspend IDPs resettlement

Displaced persons lobby raises the red ag over fraudsters out to hijack process
BY SIMON SIELE
ssiele@ke.nationmedia.com nternally displaced persons want the government to suspend their resettlement to weed out extortionist cartels out to exploit them. The landless families and their lobby yesterday claimed organisations purporting to help the Ministry of Special Programmes in identifying and vetting them were targeting their money. We want the government to suspend the ongoing resettlement until a clear guideline on IDPs resettlement is established to save our members the agony of losing money being demanded by brokers purporting to advocate for our interests, said IDP Network chairman Patrick Githinji. He said the illegal groups were taking advantage of the uncertainty caused by the disputed presidential election to swindle IDPs out of their cash. There are at least 5,000 IDPs and Mau Forest evictees awaiting resettlement in various parts of the country and the government recently said it has acquired 14,000 acres for them. Mr Githinji said anxiety had gripped the homeless families after some top resettlement ofcials like Mr Moses Akaranga resigned to pursue their political ambitions. There has been political interference in the manner in which IDPs issues are being addressed and we call upon the government to come clean on the matter so that our members agony can be dealt with, said the chairman. The lobby group urged the government to implement IDPs Act 2012 to address the issues affecting displaced persons across the country. The law provides for the establishment of a 15-member national consultative coordination committee to oversee the implementation of the policy guideline. The committee will have representatives from government agencies, United Nations, civil society and IDPs. THE NUMBERS

DEVOLUTION | Provincial administrators restructured through the National Government Coordination Act

DAILY NATION Wednesday March 27, 2013

Rows feared among county sta as roles set to clash

Already, governors and county commissioners are ghting over oces and accommodation
BY BERNARD NAMUNANE
bnamunane@ke.nationmedia.com body charged with transiting from central government to devolved units, wants the county chiefs to work in harmony with provincial administrators stating that each of them was a creature of the law. Our interest is to see that the county governments headed by governors work in harmony and co-exist peacefully with provincial administrators led by the county commissioner. Each of the two has different roles which complement each other, said Transition Authority chairman Kinuthia Wa Mwangi. A glimpse of the likely conict between governors and county commissioners can be drawn from the ght the two oces have had over the premises for their operation and accommodation immediately after the election. Mr Wa Mwangis team has had rough time, sometimes being compelled to ask governors-elect to stop forcing county commissioners to move out of their oces and houses. We cannot allow governors to evict county commissioners. It is not going to happen because each of them is there by right. The only thing we can do is to urge county commissioners to provide interim oce space for governors on negotiated basis, he said. The challenges that the Transition Authority has faced could just be the tip of the iceberg given the operational arrangement that has been created by the two laws County Government Act and the National Government Coordination Act. It is signicant to note that the devolved system of government was conceived with the intention to transfer some of the powers and services from the Central Government to the grassroots. It was also meant to give the people at the lower levels a voice in the way they are governed through elected leaders who will be in charge of county governments. That is why voters chose their preferred governors on March 4, alongside a county assembly representatives who will be the legislative arm of the devolved units. The rationale for elected leaders was that hitherto, the provincial administrators such as DCs and PCs were appointees of the Executive, not accountable to the people. Consequently, the crafters of county governments came up with a structure to give the people a say on their leaders.

he County governments, whose chief accounting ocers will take oath of office today, will have to co-exist with a new-look provincial administration as the country comes to terms with devolution. This is so because the provincial administrators have been restructured through the National Government Coordination Act and slots created for them at various levels of administration, right to the village, in counties. This is despite the fact that the County Government Act also creates a structure of administration that goes to the village level with a council of elders as the lowest organ on the ground. The two sets of structures have triggered fears that the county governments and the re-branded provincial administration are set for a show down, pitting the peoples mandate against presidential appointments. Aware of the competing interests of the two systems, the STATE STRUCTURES

Benjamin Chesire Cheboi, Baringo Insecurity is a major challenge in the vast county and the governor elect plans to come up with ways of ending the monster which has contributed to under-development. Mr Cheboi said he will approach investors who will tap geothermal resources. He will give priority to irrigation for the semi-arid region. Youth unemployment is another factor he will ght.

Sospeter Ojaamong , Busia County The Governor-elect says he has the potential of transforming the countys economy to achieve its full potential. He says the main priority for the county would be infrastructure that the county is lacking in order to harness the agricultural potential of the area. Mr Ojamoong said he has identied poverty as one of the key issues and his county government will address.

Ken Lusaka, Bungoma County He has pledged to work towards reviving companies that have collapsed including Pan Paper, Kitinda Dairies and Malakisi Cotton Ginnery all of which are on their death beds.

Education is another priority area.

Josephat Nanok, Turkana County He will seek to improve the poor infrastructure that has always been the bane of shermen as most of the times the roads are impassable and with a tinge of insecurity, very little has been realised from this huge resource. Over 80 percent of the population in Turkana County has continuously remained poor and impoverished.

Jackson Mandago, Uasin Gishu His main challenge has to do with issues of infrastructure, empowerment of youth and women, job creation, agriculture and cohesion of dierent communities living in the cosmopolitan region. He also wants to make Eldoret town a 24 hour economy to generate revenue and attract investors in the town.

Ali Roba, Mandera county Mr Roba said after the swearing in, his priority will be to structure the county government and make appointments. The governor who was elected on a United Republican Party ticket said he had already met county assembly representatives and agreed on a strategic development plan for the area. He said he will also meet all departmental heads in the county to nd out the state of aairs.

Patrick Simiyu Khaemba, Trans Nzoia He promises to champion the establishment of infrastructure in key economic sectors to spur economic growth. Particularly, he will establish plants for maize milling and fertilizer manufacturing to aid farmers reduce on the cost of production.

He also promises to managing available resources in a fair, transparent and accountable manner . He also plans to end the perennial water shortage in some parts. Youth unemployment has been a thorn in the esh.

Cornel Rasanga-Siaya Beyond the 4 billion allocated to the county, Mr Rasanga says the priority would be to look for more funds to actualize some of the nancial obligations that come with the running of the administrative unit. The governor elect also stated that the county is rallying calls to donors for joint implementation of the countys development plan amid challenges of sustainable funding from the donor community.

Prosecutors allege that Mr Banda on dates unknown but between May 1, 2008 and September 24, 2011 abused the authority of his oce by procuring a Nigerian Government to Government oil contract.

Judge Trendalova asks him to identify himself but wait to plead his innocence at later date
THE HAGUE, Tuesday
ongolese war crimes suspect Bosco Ntaganda made his first appearance before the International Criminal Court today, telling a judge he was innocent of charges ranging from murder and rape to using child soldiers. The man known as The Terminator appeared with a shaved head, thin moustache and wearing a black suit and dark blue tie after arriving in The Hague on Friday following his surprise surrender in Rwanda. My name is Bosco Ntaganda, I only have the two names, the names given to me by my parents, he said when presiding judge Ekaterina Trendalova asked him to identify himself. As you know, I was a soldier in the Congo, he said. I was born in Rwanda but I grew up in the Congo. I am Congolese. I was informed of these crimes but I plead not guilty, Ntaganda said before Trendalova cut him short. I do not want to interrupt you. The purpose of the initial appearance is a very limited one, the judge said. You will have ample opportunities to make your point as thoroughly and TRIAL

President bids farewell to troops headed for Somalia

BY KEMO CHAM
NATION Correspondent FREETOWN, Tuesday After a long delay, Sierra Leone`s AMISOM contingent is set to depart for Somalia. President Ernest Bai Koroma yesterday bade farewell to troops preparing for a historic expedition to Somalia. The government in December 2010 pledged a contribution of an infantry battalion comprising 850 soldiers to the UN supported African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) ghting Islamist Al Shabaab forces. That followed the signing of an MoU with the AU in December the following year which also committed the continental bloc through the UN to provide the necessary logistics. Today, after more than 12 months of rigorous training and logistics preparation, the gallant [Sierra] Leone Battalion 1 is adequately prepared and ready to deploy. We applaud the Governments of the United States and UK for their invaluable support to making this possible, president Koroma, clad in full military fatigue, told the soldiers. The troops are schedule for departure on April 2.

Ntaganda reportedly walked into the US embassy in Kigali and asked to be sent to the ICC, possibly fearing for his life as a fugitive from former comrades. The rst ever suspect to voluntarily surrender to the ICC, Ntaganda is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed a decade ago when he was a warlord in the eastern Democratic Republic

of Congo. Tuesdays brief appearance was to verify Ntagandas identity, read the alleged crimes and his rights under the courts founding document, the Rome Statute. Set up just over a decade ago, the ICC is the worlds only permanent criminal court to try genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Ntaganda faces seven war crimes counts and three counts of crimes against humanity: they include murder, rape and using child soldiers in his rebel army as well as keeping women as sex-slaves between September 2002 and September 2003.

Looting as CAR ruler to unveil his government

Bangui remains tense, with hundreds of people roaming the streets on foot, looking for food
BANGUI, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, TUESDAY
entral African Republic strongman Michel Djotodia was set to unveil a new government today after declaring he would rule by decree following the latest coup in the notoriously unstable nation. Looters were on the rampage in the capital Bangui after Mr Djotodias Seleka rebel coalition seized control in a rapid-re weekend assault that forced president Francois Bozize into exile and was condemned by the international community. There is pillaging everywhere, its very hard to control anything, a soldier from the FOMAC African force told AFP. The International Committee of the Red Cross said the ghting had left scores dead. Thirteen South African troops were among those killed, the nations heaviest post-apartheid military loss. We cant give gures for the moment, but there was a large number of wounded and killed, Georgios Georgantas, the senior official of the ICRC in the country told AFP. Red Cross volunteers are deployed in the city to help the wounded and clear the bodies. Bangui remained tense, with hundreds of people roaming the streets on foot, many looking for food, and rebel patrols occasionally shooting bursts of gunre into the air to disperse onlookers. Djotodia, a former diplomat and civil servant who joined rebel forces in 2005, said he will keep Nicolas Tiangaye as prime minister in a powersharing government after declaring Monday that he was suspending the constitution and dissolving parliament and government. During that transition period which will lead us to free, credible and transparent elections, I will legislate by decree, he told reporters. He promised elections for 2016

Malawi drops biometric voter listing plan

BY REX CHIKOKO
NATION Correspondent LILONGWE, Tuesday Malawi has shelved the plans to implement the Biometric Voter Registration System during the 2014 Tripartite Elections and has resolved to revert to use the current paper-based solution of capturing voters in the eld. Malawi Electoral Commission made the decision after taking into consideration various concerns, risks and logistical challenges that are inherent in the implementation of the system. Chief Elections Officer Willie Kalonga, however, said the Commission resolved that the implementation of the Biometric Voter Registration System be used in the 2019 elections. Following the advice made available to it [the Commission] by various experts and stake holders on the implementation of the Biometric Voter Registration System, it has shelved the plans of implementing the solution for the purposes of the 2014 Tripartite Elections, Mr Kalonga said. He said the Commission will conduct comprehensive eld tests and civic education programmes on the solution. Consequently, the Commission will, for the purposes of the 2014 Tripartite Elections, use the current paper-based solution of capturing voters in the eld, he said.

Rebels of the Seleka coalition arrest yesterday a man wearing military fatigues (sitting), claiming to also belong to the Seleka movement in Bangui. The African Union on March 25 suspended the Central African Republic and ordered sanctions.
and did not rule out running in the polls. The African Union suspended the landlocked former French colony on Monday, and the UN Security Council condemned the coup, threatening unspecied further measures. The power change followed a lightning rebel oensive that shattered a January 11 power-sharing deal between the old regime and Seleka.

Russian senator quits over citizenship row

A Russian senator submitted his resignation on Tuesday after a leading opposition anti-corruption crusader accused him of having property abroad and holding Israeli citizenship under a Hebrew name. Vitaly Malkin, a member of Russias upper house, the Federation Council, disputed the charge, saying he had renounced his passport in 2007 after a law was passed in 2006 banning state ocials from having dual nationality. I have not been a citizen of Israel since August 2007, Mr Malkin, 60, said at a specially called meeting at Federation Council, noting he was stepping down to protect his reputation and that of chamber.

The militant threat facing Afghanistan was on Tuesday again underlined when seven suicide bombers targeted a police base in the eastern city of Jalalabad. All the attackers and ve ocers died in the assault, for which the Taliban claimed responsibility. After a series of ery anti-US outbursts from Karzai in recent weeks, both he and Kerry were

Finally after many years of eort we have reached a deal, Mr Karzai told reporters at a joint press conference late Monday. Earlier this month, Karzai accused Washington of working in concert with the Taliban and his spokesman described the NATO coalitions war eort as aimless and unwise, triggering fury from Afghanistans foreign backers. Responding to a storm of protest over the collusion allegations, Kerry said he was condent that Karzai does not believe that the United States has any interest except to see Taliban come to table to make peace.(AFP)

Oil rm warns of bigger loss as Sh850m Trition scam takes a toll

Total Kenya issues prot warning again, after it made a loss of Sh71m in 2011, compared with a net prot of Sh916m in 2010
BY JOSHUA MASINDE
jmasinde@ke.nationmedia.com il dealer Total Kenya has said it will post a much bigger loss than it posted in 2011, as the multi-billion Trition saga comes back to haunt the rm. In a prot warning statement issued yesterday, the company said its results for the full year 2012 will be a loss higher than the one reported a year earlier, owing to the claim in which it is to pay about Sh850 million to Glencore, a commodities trader, over deliveries made to the now defunct Triton Petroleum Ltd. Total Kenya had made an undertaking to pay if Triton failed to honour the payment. The settlement is expected to be made this month, March 2013. The directors and independent auditors are in agreement that this must be adjusted in the 2012 accounts. Consequently, the companys result for the full year 2012 will be a loss higher than that reported for the same period in 2011, Totals managing director Alexis Vovk said in a statement. He added: In the absence of

Based on this and in line with Hashi Energys strategy of becoming a market leader, customer focus and environmental conservation, we are determined to transform these customers from their current source of energy to LPG, said Mr Osundwa.

this exceptional settlement, the company would have returned a prot. In 2011, the oil dealer recorded a loss of Sh71 million, compared with a net prot of Sh916 million in 2010. The oil dealers communications manager, Mr Martin Mutuma, told the Nation there was a high likelihood the amount would drop to half the claim as the parties engage in an out-ofcourt settlement. It is anticipated that the settlement will be agreed at $5 million (Sh425 million) out of LITIGATION

roughly $10 million (Sh850 million) being claimed (inclusive of interest and other penalties), Mr Mutuma said in an e-mail query. According to Totals nancials for 2011, Glencore had claimed $6.9 million (about Sh586.5 million), plus interests worth $1 million (about Sh85 million) allegedly pursuant to a payment undertaking issued by Total Kenya to BNP Paribas in relation to deliveries allegedly made by Triton. Triton collapsed immediately after it irregularly received

Other deals that have drained resources

The oil dealer has in the past been haunted by legal cases that have seen it pay out substantial claims. In 1999, a supplier instituted a claim of Sh44.1m for damages relating to termination of a transporter agreement. In 2010, a distributor led a claim of Sh75.95m against the oil dealer for refund for product allegedly paid for but never supplied, loss of income and damages for alleged asMr Alexis Vovk, MD sault during a petrol station take-over.

nearly $100 million (Sh8.5 billion) from Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) without informing its nanciers, in a saga that continues to haunt the market. Three years ago, KPC was ordered to pay KenolKobil Sh4.6 billion for outing a transportation and storage agreement in an arbitration case. Standard Investment Bank (SIB) analysts said the prot warning is a surprise, given the turnaround the company made on reported interim numbers. After reporting losses for the half year ended June 30 last year, the oil dealer said it instituted a raft of measures that bore fruit in the second half of the year, resulting in a complete turnaround of the company to protability. In the nine-month period ending September 2012, the firm registered a net loss of Sh243.6 million, owing to high interest rates that pushed up nancing costs, compared with a net prot of Sh69 million in a similar period in 2011. The management is, however, optimistic that its performance for 2013 would improve signicantly.

Horticulture in 26pc earnings rise to Sh270bn

Agriculture records one of the best years of growth, partly leading to big drop in ination rates
BY MWANIKI WAHOME
jwahome@ke.nationmedia.com arnings from horticulture increased by 26 per cent last year to Sh276 billion, compared with Sh205 billion in 2012, as the agriculture sector recorded one of the best years of growth. This was partly the reason for the continued drop in ination rates that crossed to single digit last year. In 2012, good weather conditions and improved irrigation by large scale production in Nakuru, Kiambu and Meru counties accounted for most of the horticulture production, says a food assessment report by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Kenya Food Security Steering Group. The assessment attributed the growth to adequate and well distributed rainfall and government interventions through provision of subsidised seeds and fertiliser. Maize production increased by 7 per cent to 40 million bags, compared with 37 million bags in 2011. The current stocks in the country are 26 million, most of it (21 million) held by farmers. Others are traders who are holding 2.7 million bags. The National Cereals and Produce Board has 2.3 million bags and the millers have 466,720 bags. The lethal maize necrotic disease that hit parts of the country, mostly in Rift Valley, did not have much impact on production. The ministry said the disease affected 35,000 hectares from the anticipated 65,000 hectares. Wheat production registered 64 per cent growth, the highest in recent years, to stand at 4.9 million bags, compared with 2.9 billion in 2011. Rice registered growth of 10 per cent to 1.6 million bags, compared with 1.4 million bags in 2011. Production of beans increased by 14 per cent from 6.4 million to 7.4 million bags, most of the produce coming from Eastern and Central Kenya. The ministry said its investment in traditional high value crops in recent years, amounting to between Sh9 billion and Sh12 billion, had started to bear fruit, with these crops also registering growth. The government provides free seeds and subsidised fertiliser for those planting sorghum, millet, green grams, cowpeas, pigeon peas, cassava and sweet potatoes.

AGREEMENT | The negotiations are aimed at clinching a deal that binds together the three economies

China leads free trade pact talks to counter US

The idea of a trilateral FTA involving Japan and South Korea has been on the charts for decades
SEOUL, Tuesday
hina, Japan and South Korea have started formal negotiations on securing a free trade agreement to bind together the three economies, which account for around 20 per cent of the global gross domestic product. With all three countries under new leadership, trade ocials hope they can move beyond damaging territorial disputes that have dogged their relations for decades. The idea of a trilateral FTA has been on the table for decades, but diplomats say China is now pushing especially hard for a pact, in part as a counter to US initiatives in Asia. Washington is leading negotiations on a Trans-Pacic Partnership (TPP) free trade pact that some see as part of the so-called US pivot aimed at rearming the US role in Asia in the face of Chinas economic rise. The TPP talks currently involve Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam. While China is conspicuously absent, new Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced earlier this month Japans decision to participate in the negotiations. The initial round of trilateral FTA talks is being held in Seoul, after which the negotiations will move to China followed by a third round in Japan, trade ocials from South Korea said. China, Japan and South Korea are now Asias largest, second-largest and fourth-largest economies, while trade volume between them amounted to $690 billion in 2011. Among other issues, the discussions are expected to hit opposition from Japanese and South Korean farmers worried about an inow of cheaper agricultural products such as Chinese rice. Farmers are already suffering more diculties due to Seouls free trade pacts with the European Union and the United States, the Korean Advanced Farmers Federation said in a statement. The federation threatened to launch an anti-government campaign if South Korea pursues the FTA with China and Japan. But the main hurdle lies in the form of bitter, long-standing territorial disputes that have raised diplomatic and military tensions and hampered economic cooperation. China and Japan are arguing about sovereignty over an archipelago in

Cyprus bank boss quits to protest bailout deal

The chairman of the Bank of Cyprus has resigned in the wake of an international bailout deal that hits the islands biggest lender, state media reported on Tuesday. The Cyprus News Agency said the banks chairman Andreas Artemis had tendered his resignation, and it would go before the board later in the day. The bailout agreed in Brussels in Monday hits investors with deposits of over 100,000 euros at both Bank of Cyprus and at Laiki, the islands number two lender, and calls for the eective wrapping up of Laiki. Local news website Stockwatch said Artemis resigned because of the condition in the 10billion-euro bailout that the Bank of Cyprus would have to absorb Laikis debts. (AFP)

Flight attendants win ght to wear trousers

Female ight attendants with South Koreas Asiana Airlines have won a long-running battle to overturn a skirts-only dress code after the national human rights commission ruled it discriminatory. From early April, Asianas 3,000-odd female ight attendants will be able to wear trousers for the rst time since it came into existence 25 years ago, an airline statement said. The decision came after the national rights watchdog, responding to an appeal lodged by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, ruled the dress code gender discriminatory . Asiana has a 10-page dress code for female attendants, which covers everything from earring size to hair colour and eye make-up type. (AFP)

Court halts KPA bid to punish freight stations

Judge issues order against parastatal after it threatened to stop allocating containers to rms it called deant
BY EUNICE MACHUHI
emachuhi@ke.nationmedia.com he High Court has halted a decision by the ports authority to lock out privately-owned container freight stations that levy verication charges on importers. The parastatal had claimed the CFS operators were irregularly levying the fee after inspection of containers by the Kenya Revenue Authority. The parastatal said the fees were in contravention of its tari and the operation licence agreement signed by the parties. KPA managing director Gichiri Ndua issued a notification stating that they would suspend allocation of containers for storage at the deant freight stations until the operators stopped levying the fees. However, the Container Freight Station Association (CFSA) moved to court to LIST challenge the decision, saying, it was unconstitutional as it was meant to deprive the applicants of their rights and that the parastatal was acting in contravention of its powers under the KPA Act. The applicants, through Mr Abed Omar, then sought an order to quash the directive by KPA not to impose verication charges and its threat to lock out the CFSs. The applicants have strictly conned their operations within the agreements and have been charging customers for services oered in accordance with the tari, they said. CFS operators, the court heard, were, therefore, entitled to charge customers for services rendered for verication, scanning, inspection, stripping or stung. They said CFS operators had collectively invested billions to put up facilities to handle containers for the KPA. Yesterday, Lady Justice Maureen Odero issued a stay against KPAs directive and ordered CFSA to serve all other interested parties.

Erratic rains hamper dry-planting

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Uasin Gishu Farmers in North Rift who normally practise dry-planting have failed to do so because of uncertainty over the rains and unavailability of subsidised fertiliser. Those who managed to buy fertiliser fear they might incur huge losses if the rains fail. I bought one bag of fertiliser for Sh3,500 and cannot risk dry-planting because of the uncertain rains, Uasin Gishu

Farmer John Kiplimo
County John Kiplimo said in Burnt Forest. He said that under normal circumstances, he would have planted last week, but he had

been held back by fear of losses. The government subsidised fertiliser, which costs Sh2,480 for a 90 kilogramme bag, is yet to reach farmers as there have been delays caused by a court case against the National Cerrals and Produce Board, which distributes the fertiliser. Last week, the Treasury released Sh2.7 billion to procure subsidised fertiliser for distribution to farmers, but it is still not available despite assurance that it would be at the depots from this week.

During this annual holiday, about 30,000 local and international tourists pack the 12-km beach line that includes the popular Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach. Over the years, cases of drowning in the sea have been reported while drug-peddling, rape, robbery and theft soar due to the large crowds. Kenya Wildlife Service ocial Arthur Tuda said a person drowned in the sea last year, a teenager was raped, and several vehicles were broken into while dozens of children got lost on the beaches.

KENYA CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS

We Pray for Patience and Tolerance John 14: 27 Peace I leave for you. My peace I give to you; Not in the way that the world gives, do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and let not fear
Our dear Christians, fellow Kenyans and all people of Good will, We the Catholic Bishops of Kenya, meeting at the Little daughters of St Joseph centre in Karen, Nairobi have reflected deeply on the State of the nation and the events following the March 4th General Elections. The Kenya Conference of Catholic bishops therefore wishes to; 1. Congratulate the people of Kenya for turning out in large numbers and voting peacefully on March 4th, 2013. We applaud the patience and tolerance Kenyans demonstrated throughout the period of vote counting and tallying. The world has now known that, Kenyans are peace loving people 2. Applaud our security personnel for putting in place sufficient security that ensured safety of Kenyans before, during and after the 4th March, 2013 General Elections. 3. Congratulate all the parties and or coalitions that participated in these elections and the candidates including those who won and lost for having displayed maturity by either accepting or conceding defeat and for those who felt aggrieved, for having taken the right steps to seek justice through the Kenyan legal system. 4. We congratulate the media for their professional conduct during the electioneering period. 5. We urge that since this matter is in court, all Kenyans should desist from discussing it and allow the Supreme Court to make a decision. Since the Presidential results have been contested, we call upon all Political Parties or Coalitions, to give the Supreme Court time and peace that they desire at this moment so that they can effectively take up their responsibility. We plead with political Parties and Coalitions therefore to desist from holding any meetings or rallies that could turn provocative. We should understand that people are anxious and therefore any attempts to engage them cannot be seen in good spirit. We wish to remind all politicians and Political Parties/Coalitons that the foundation and purpose of political life is the development of the human person. Therefore, as they make their political manouvers they ought to remember that the political community pursues the common good when it seeks to create a human environment that offers citizens the possibility of truly exercising their human rights and of fulfilling completely their corresponding duties. Supreme Court decision We wish to urge all Kenyans to maintain peace in this period as we await the decision of the Supreme court in keeping with the constitution (article 140, 2). We make a passionate appeal to the presidential candidates to accept unreservedly the decision of the court and abide by it. Dear Kenyans, once more we appeal to you to remain peaceful even after the Supreme Court decision. Refuse to be incited by any person or party. Hate Messages on Social media Our attention has been drawn to hate messages, ethnic and derogatory remarks being perpetuated by Kenyans on social media, specifically on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo groups, community chat rooms and mobile phone texts. It is regrettable that while we thought Kenyans have grown out of their ethnic stereotypes and polarization, they have only moved the platform of their exchanges to a less conspicuous location. We remind them that they cannot hide from God and their conscience. Our respect for the constitutional and national values should be upheld. Our dear Kenyans, we are all created in the image of God. Let us not abrogate ourselves the duty of deciding which community is more superior to the other or which one deserves to rule us. Praying for peace During Easter Finally, our dear Christians and all Kenyans, as we approach the Holy week and the Easter period, we urge you to continue praying for a peaceful resolution to the presidential contest and unity for a better tomorrow. May the death and resurrection of Christ which we celebrate at Easter bring us lasting peace, Love and unity and a country founded on respect for God. We are all proud of our country and we should defend it. Let us really strive to defend the unity of our nation as one people. May we dwell in unity peace and liberty

NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN 2013 - 2017

OFFICIAL LAUNCH MINISTRY FOR ENVIRONMENT & MINERAL RESOURCES
I am happy that Kenya today is launching the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) to effectively respond to climate change. Climate change is one of the most serious global challenges of our time. The scientific evidence is overwhelming, both at the global and local levels. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) has indicated that climate change will lead to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate and weather events. Kenya and indeed the horn of Africa region at large has in the last few years come face to face with the unprecedented challenge of climate change impacts and the corresponding socio-economic losses to our communities. Our high dependence on climate sensitive natural resources for our livelihoods and economic prosperity will inherently increase our vulnerability to this phenomenon. Climate Change is not only a threat to the achievement of sustainable development and poverty reduction but has the potential to reverse the modest gains that we have achieved towards attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Droughts and floods are among other extreme climate events, becoming ever more severe in magnitude and frequency. Flash floods associated with rainfall storms have become ever more common; and have at times led to landslides culminating in loss of life and damage to property. Studies estimate the costs associated with climate change annually at 2.6% of the countrys GDP.
The Launch of the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) marks a landmark by the Government towards addressing climate change. Achieving long-term sustainable economic growth up to and beyond Vision 2030 in the face of climate change is a primary concern for Kenya. The country is already extremely susceptible to climate related events and such events pose a serious threat to the socio-economic development. Extreme events such as droughts and floods in particular have devastating consequences on the environment, society and the wider economy. Other climate change impacts include frost; hailstorms, sea-level rise, depletion of glaciers on Mount Kenya, receding lake levels; drying of rivers and other wetlands; widespread disease epidemics, among others leading to large economic losses. Many of these extreme climate events have led to displacement of communities and migration of pastoralists into and out of the country resulting in conflicts over natural resources. The continued annual burden of the extreme climatic events could cost the countrys economy as much as US$500 million a year, which is equivalent to approximately 2.6 percent of the countrys GDP with implications for long-term growth. The dependence on climate sensitive natural resources for livelihoods and economic development, low adaptive capacity and inadequate preparedness to respond to the risks posed by climate change, increase Kenyas vulnerability to the risks associated with climate vulnerability and change.

Hon.Amb. CHIRAU ALI MWAKWERE, EGH, FLICT, MINISTER FOR ENVIRONMENT & MINERAL RESOURCES

Scenarios reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) and other agencies are worrisome and suggest that these impacts are on the increase; as exhibited by an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events and related disasters. Kenya has little historical or current responsibility for global climate change and emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are insignificant relative to the global average. However, as Kenya develops towards middle income status as set out in Vision 2030, and as the rate of population and urbanization continues to increase, the countrys emissions of GHGs will increase significantly. It is estimated that Kenyas emissions will double by 2030, with the dominant sources coming from the transport and agriculture sectors. The current development plans could therefore lock-in Kenya into a higher emission pathway. In response to challenges and opportunities posed by climate change, Kenya launched the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) in 2010. The Strategy was Kenyas first climate change agenda guide as it provided a basis for strengthening and focusing nationwide action towards climate change adaptation and mitigation. The Action Plan takes adaptation and mitigation efforts to the next stage of implementation and equips the country to take decisive action in responding to the challenges faced by the country. It encourages people-centred development, ensuring that climate change actions support Kenyas achievement of development goals. It indeed supports efforts towards the continued attainment of Vision 2030. This Action Plan guides the transition of the country towards a low carbon climate resilient development pathway. The preparation of the Action Plan has been an inclusive and consultative process, involving stakeholders across the Government, the private sector, the academia, and the civil society. The process was led by a multi-sectoral Climate Change Taskforce that I chaired which provided oversight to the process and various Thematic Working Groups that provided guidance to the technical working teams. The forty-seven counties were fully involved through county consultations and a National Validation Workshop was held after which the Action Plan was endorsed by the Cabinet in February 2013. Key Highlights of the National Climate Change Action Plan Climate change is a complex issue that although has environmental causes, has implications for all sectors of the economy. It requires mainstreaming in the national and county planning processes and in all the sectors of the economy. The Action Plan provides for an overall low-carbon, climate resilient development pathway for Kenya and key actions to be undertaken to deliver the path. The specific recommended actions include: a) Adaptation- Key intervention areas are proposed to reduce vulnerability to climate change, and enable people to respond to climate risks by moving toward a climate-resilient society. The interventions include: livelihood diversification, development of human capital, water resources conservation and development, climate proofed infrastructural development (roads & energy), afforestation & reforestation and climate resilient agricultural systems, among others. b) Mitigation-The NCCAP has identified priority low carbon options which aim to ensure that countrys contribution to global emissions remain low and, importantly, deliver other sustainable development benefits and attract international finances. The actions include: Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) activities and are proposed in energy, transport, agriculture, industry, forestry and waste management sectors. c) Climate change policy, law and institutional set-up-The NCCAP recommends a stand-alone climate change policy and law; and a national climate change institutional set-up that includes a high-level National Climate Change Council. d) Climate Finance- The realisation of the ambitions identified in this Action Plan will require substantial financial resources. To be successful, Kenya will need to access resources from both public and private sources and from both within Kenya and overseas. This will require interventions such as establishment of climate fund for effective coordination of climate finance; establishment of carbon trading platform; and conducive environment for climate investment e) Knowledge Management and Capacity Development- Comprehensive structures for climate knowledge management, capacity building related actions and public awareness at different levels of stakeholders including integration of climate change in the education system are proposed f) Research and Technological Development- The NCCAP will inform the identification of the requisite technologies and research to enhance implementation of the response actions in adaptation and mitigation. g) National Performance and Benefit Measurement Framework- A comprehensive system to measure, report and verify the benefit and performance of adaptation and mitigation actions, and the synergies between the two has been developed. This will enhance the monitoring and evaluation of climate change response actions. Conclusion The implementation of the National Climate Change Action Plan is a priority for the Government of Kenya. The Government has already established a National Climate Change Secretariat and other institutional arrangements that will provide for the implementation of the actions identified. Through the implementation of this Action Plan, Kenya will be in a much better position to develop in the face of climate change and the uncertainty it presents for the attainment of sustainable development goals. All stakeholders within and outside Government at the national and international level are invited to play their role and support Kenya in the implementation of the Action Plan. I would like to appreciate the generous support we received from development partners including DFID, Climate Development Knowledge Network, DANIDA and the Japan Government in the development of the Action Plan. We urge them and others to continue supporting Kenya to address climate change.

ALI D. MOHAMED, CBS; PERMANENT SECRETARY,

In recognition of the serious threats posed by climate change Kenya has taken and continues to take bold measures to secure the countrys development against the risks and impacts of climate change. The Constitution of Kenya, 2011, binds the State to work towards achieving and maintaining a tree cover of at least ten per cent of the land area of Kenya; and guarantees every citizen the right to a clean and healthy environment. Moreover, Kenya has already introduced a range of low carbon options across many sectors. These include renewable energy, more efficient use of biomass and sustainable land use management. The foundations for an improved national response to climate change were established with the launch of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) in 2010. The Strategy recognised the importance of climate change impacts for Kenyas development. This National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) is the logical next step to enable Kenya to reduce vulnerability to climate change and to improve our countrys ability to take advantage of the opportunities that climate change offers. The NCCAP is the result of a year-long, participatory process involving the public sector, the private sector, academia and civil society, under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources guided by a multi-stakeholder, multidisciplinary taskforce. I would like thank all the development partners who have provided support and acknowledge the national and international experts who technical support and input to the process. The NCCAP forms the basis for the countrys transition to a low-carbon climate-resilient development pathway through adaptation response actions aimed at enhancing the resilience of our social and bio-physical systems, and mitigation actions aimed at tackling the causes of climate change. It also encourages people-centred development; ensuring that climate change response actions are aligned to the Constitution, Vision 2030 and the Millennium Development Goals. The implementation of the NCCAP is priority for the Government of Kenya and is a firm commitment that the government is committed to taking actions to tackle this global challenge. However, Kenyas efforts are insignificant if there is no comprehensive global action on climate change by all countries. We urge the global community to be decisive and conclude a comprehensive and fair legally binding agreement by all by 2015 that comes into force by 2020 as agreed under the United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Finally, I am aware that the priority intervention actions proposed in the Action Plan proposes are costly, but the solutions are within our reach. We once again look forward to continued cooperation and support from our development partners and stakeholders in the implementation of the Action Plan.

Folly of hiring the very best performer

Every company wants to hire the person with the best record. Smart employees are a compelling catch. The temptation to hire them after youve assessed their abilities and listened to them at the interview can be overwhelming. But wait a minute! Have you assessed your ability to accommodate such exceptionally talented people? Do a self-assessment first to know where you stand. Seek advise from management consultants. You must be prepared to satisfy and support their needs. Your company must have the means to keep pace with their creativity. Otherwise, you may soon be facing dissatisfied workers. People who feel stifled. Soon, they may opt out and you will have to go through an expensive recruitment process again. Or they may just stop being creative, out of frustration, and become an expensive liability because you will most probably be paying them very well. Avoid such a situation. Get the candidate who best fits the vacancy you want to fill, rather than chase after the so-called best performer. Leave the best for the first class companies that can offer them adequate challenges.

Participatory communication Sometimes we keep too many secrets unnecessarily. But proponents of an open communication paradigm in organisations say involving staff in charting out certain policy direction could be beneficial. The perception here is that actively elicited responses from staff through an open communication system can result in useful suggestions, and yield better acceptance of the eventual decision made. Exit interviews A practical method that some employers use to gauge job contentment is the exit interview. Workers leaving the company are useful in designing good environments, besides pointing out the problem areas. For best results, the interviews should be optional.

GOLF | American replaces McIlroy at the summit

The rise, fall and rise of Tiger Woods

37-year-old returns to the top in the latest milestone of his comeback from a spectacular fall from personal and professional grace
ORLANDO, Florida

Nike draws criticism for stars tribute

ORLANDO, Florida A Nike Facebook and Twitter post featuring Tiger Woods and the caption Winning takes care of everything has drawn criticism for perceived insensitivity about tyhe golfers divorce. Woods became the Worlds No. 1 ranked player on Monday after his win at Bay Hill. Woods hasnt had the top ranking since 2010. Woods slump began in 2010, the year of his divorce from Elin Nordegren. In late 2009, reports came out that Woods had been carrying on multiple extramarital aairs. Taking Woods domestic situation into account, some fans found that Nike Golfs exultant message celebrating the feat was o-pitch. On Facebook, though the comments appeared to be mostly positive, some fans also took issue, including Kenny Rogers, who asked, What shall it prot a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.... just thinking.... and Chris Reardon, who added, Way to go Nike, you egomaniac jerks. Another fan, Tery Robertson, also wrote, :Dear Nike for my next pair of shoes...ANYTHING but Nikes.

iger Woods reclaimed the world number one spot on Monday for the rst time since his career was derailed by a sex scandal and a string of injuries. Woods victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational saw the 37-year-old replace Rory McIlroy atop the rankings in the latest milestone of his comeback from a spectacular fall from personal and professional grace. I play well here, said Woods, who secured his eighth victory at Bay Hill with after a closing round of two-under 70. That is about as simple as it gets. It is a by-product of hard work and patience. It took an extra day, but Woods out-dueled fellow American Rickie Fowler down the stretch, winning the $6.2 million event by two strokes. Woods, who pocketed $1.08 million for Mondays win, has won 14 majors in his career and had previously spent a record 623 weeks on top of the world. But he has not led the rankings for nearly three years, after injuries and an infamous scandal saw him stumble. Woods fell to his lowest rank on November 11, 2011 when he dropped to 58th in the world. His woes began in 2009 when a US tabloid aired claims he had had an aair with a nightclub manageress. Two days later, amid speculation about his marriage, he was slightly injured when he crashed his car near his home. In December of that year, Woods issued two statements admitting to serial marital indelity and announced he would take a break from golf. He later said that he had undergone therapy to help him change his behavior. He returned to golf at the 2010 Masters in April, but his marriage was over and his divorce with former model Elin Nordegren was granted in August.

His game had clearly suered during the turmoil and his return to the top took three years. The rst step in the process was getting healthy. Once I got there, then my game turned, Woods said. Ive won six times on the tour the last couple years. Thats not bad. Last week, Woods announced that he was dating US ski racer Lindsey Vonn. Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Vonn tweeted after Woods victory. Woods also claimed his 77th PGA Tour victory - his 99th professional victory - in his nal tune-up event for next months Masters. The Monday nish followed a severe thunder storm on Sunday that postponed the fourth round. The storm swept across the Bay Hill Club & Lodge course with gusting winds toppling trees and television towers. Woods and playing partner Fowler began on the third hole Monday and Woods quickly set the tone with birdies on a pair of par-ves. Fired two-under 70 He finished on 18 with a bogey but it was enough to reach 13-under 275, giving him the win and propelling him the Number One spot for the rst time since October 2010. I am getting back to winning golf tournaments, Woods said. I won some golf tournaments the last couple years so consequently I moved up. Runner-up Justin Rose red a twounder 70 to nish at 11-under while Fowler stumbled down the stretch, closing with a one-over 73 as he plummeted to a four-way tie for third at eight-under 280. Fowler nished alongside Mark Wilson (71), Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (72) and Keegan Bradley (71). I was swinging it well, I made a few putts, and trying to put a little pressure on him, let him know I was there, Fowler said. (AFP)

Sofapaka out to end poor league record

BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com Misring Sofapaka will be hoping to end their three-match winless streak when they tackle Mathare United today at the City Stadium. The two sides will lock horns in an early kick o at the venue before Gor Mahia takes on Ulinzi Stars in the second match. Batoto ba Mungu have been ring blanks in previous encounters and head coach David Ouma will be hoping that his strikers put on their shooting boots when they entertain the 2008 champions. From a possible 12 points Sofapaka has only picked ve. In their season opener they beat Thika United 1-0 at City Stadium before settling for a barren draw with Ulinzi Stars in Nakuru. They lost their third match 0-1 to Gor Mahia at Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani and picked another scoreless draw in their last match against Chemelil Sugar. These not so impressive results have put the youthful Ouma under pressure as he muses over a winning formula against Mathare United. The Slum Boys are, however, known to be a hard nut to crack when playing against the big teams and Sofapaka will be wary of further reprisals from Stanley Okumbis men. Available for selection Ouma will miss the services of youngster Danson Kago who is yet to recover from an ankle injury he picked during their rst match of the season against Thika United. Zimbabwean Obadiah Tarumbwa and Bob Mugalia, who has seen limited action since the season began, are both available for selection and could be called upon to t into Kagos boots. Ouma will particularly be counting on the goal poaching instincts of the ageless John Baraza to re his side to victory. At 34, Baraza, a four-time golden boot winner, who literally shouldered Sofapakas goal scoring burden last season with 18 goals, is yet to open his account this season. On his part, Okumbi will be out to rekindle the lost spark that saw his team bounce back in the second leg of last years campaign after a horrendous rst leg performance to nish among the top eight teams. In three outings they are yet to register a single victory and they are rooted to the bottom of the 16-team table. Their rst two matches ended in draws against Sony Sugar (0-0) and Chemelil Sugar (1-1) before they fell to 0-1 loss to Muhoroni Youth. Okumbi will therefore be under pressure to turn around the teams dwindling fortunes. A win will hoist Mathare from the bottom of the log, while victory for Sofapaka will push them up two places to fth position with 8 points.

2014 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS | Midelder Kahata reveals secret behind his wonder strike

Harambee Stars receive heroic

National team receives big reward from Nairobi Senator-elect Sonko
BY DAVID KWALIMWA
dkwalimwa@ke.nationmedia.com arambee Stars arrived to a herioc welcome on Monday night from Nigeria where they upset the formbook by holding the home to a 1-1 draw in a 2014 World Cup qualier. Scenes at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) were in stark contrast to the cold and hostile treatment they endured in Nigeria before the crucial encounter. The welcoming party was led by Nairobi Senator-elect Mike Sonko Mbuvi, and Football Kenya Federation Chairman Sam Nyamweya and Nairobi County Assembly speaker and AFC Leopards chairman Alex Ole Magelo. Sonko made good his pledge of rewarding the team by handing team captain Dennis Oliech Sh1.1 million in crisp bank notes, with Sh100,000 from the sum going directly to Kenyas goal scorer Francis Kahata. I am proud of this team and that is why I will give them what I promised for a win. An away draw to Nigeria is as good as a win, said Sonko. Stars put up a brilliant display against Nigeria in the Group F match in the port city of Calabar and were only denied of what would have been a historic win by a late goal by the Super Eagles deep in stoppage time. Space in the Nigerian wall Kahata was clearly the man of the moment as he grabbed the intention of journalists and fans who thronged JKIA arrival lounge. I have been practicing for set pieces for quite some time and I was happy when I got the right connection with the ball. I had noticed some space in between the Nigeria wall and the upper right hand side of the cross bar. I knew if the shot was on target there would be nothing any goalkeeper in the world could do to stop it, said Kahata. Team captain Oliech recounted the ordeal they suered at the hands of the West Africans. That was the worst reception I have ever received since I started playing professional football. We did not feed well because the food was poor and didnt even have a training ground. I also learnt for the rst time that a chartered ight can leave you behind. We just kept the mental strength to perform at that level, Oliech said. Midelder Victor Wanyama admitted that the country still has much to do to secure a World Cup slot. The result is the best we have registerd in a long time. We have a very good coach and everything is back on track. However, we must start preparing for the remaining three must-win matches. The players are tired after the long journey, said Nyamweya, adding that the team has made Kenya very proud.

ENDLESS WRANGLES | Chairman Nyamweya and NEC members clash over nancial accountability

Cracks emerge among football bodys top brass in the wake of Kenyas sterling performance

REWARDED: Stars captain Dennis Oliech receives cash award from Nairobi Senator-elect Mike Sonko Mbuvi

ust a day after the national football team Harambee Stars returned from Nigeria to a heroic welcome, sharp dierences have emerged between top officials of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF). NEC members Hussein Terry and Tom Alila yesterday accused chairman Sam Nyamweya of running the operations of the federation through exclusion. We are not happy the way the federation is being run. The chairman is running the show alone. We also take issue with the way money is being used. There is no accountability at all , Terry said yesterday during an exclusive interview with the Daily Nation. Both Terry and Alila said it will be no longer be business as usual at the federation if Nyamweya continues sidelining NEC members on crucial decision making processes. Terry also claimed that foreignbased players, led by skipper Dennis Oliech and Arnold Origi, were only paid a paltry Shs 18,000 in allowances while in Nigeria, a situation he claims has angered the players who are considering snubbing future call ups. Oliech came to me while we were in Nigeria and told me they will no longer honour future matches involving Harambee Stars if they are not paid at least Sh 10,000 shillings per day in allowances, Terry said. But in a quick rejoinder, Nyamweya rubbished the claims saying that if the

two have an issue they should raise it with the various organs of the federation. Just ignore them (Terry and Alila). If they have an issue they should raise it in our meetings. We are having a NEC meeting tomorrow (today) and anybody who has an issue should come forward and raise it with us, Nyamweya said. If they feel there is no nancial accountability they are at liberty to ask the financial committee to furnish them with the necessary financial statements, he added. Nyamweya also refuted the alleged claims of underpayment of the foreignbased players. Why would we pay someone more because he is a professional player? All players are equal and are entitled to equal allowances, Nyamweya said. Nyamweya revealed that all players are entitled to a daily Sh 3, 000 in allowance for home matches and Sh 4,000 for away matches. Build momentum We need to desist from these sideshows and help the team build the momentum, he added. However, Alila claims their calls for a special NEC meeting to thrash out the thorny issues have fallen on deaf ears. We have been asking for a special NEC meeting where we can address the teething problems but we have been ignored. We are ready to be kicked out, but the way things are done must change. he said. At the same time, Terry and Alila want the entire NEC to have a say on any changes made in the national teams technical bench especially the hiring and ring of coaches and team managers. This is not the rst case of bickering among elected ocials of the federation. Late last year, FKF vice chairman Sammy Shollei and Nairobi branch chairman Dan Shikanda were slapped with indenite bans after they chose to contest their suspension in a court of law. Former FKF CEO Aduda Omondi is the latest ocial to be kicked out of the federation under acrimonious circumstances.

Tala Boys, who won the basketball title after beating Kangaru School in the finals in former Eastern Province, will no longer be participating in this region as Machakos County has been clustered under the Metropolitan region. Barazani Girls, from Makueni County, who won the Girls Basketball title, will also miss out. The Northern Region will also miss Machakos and Makueni Counties in athletics. Machakos had become used to controlling the Athletic scene, thanks to Paul Mutwiis Athletics Youth Academy, which taps talent from all over the Athletics Kenya southern region. Mutwii Youth academy has not only dominated the Eastern Provincial Secondary School Athletics but also produced world titlists who have represented the country. World Marathon record-holder, Patrick Makau, two-time Boston Marathon winner, Cosmas Ndeti, and Caleb Mwangangi are some of the luminaries Mutwii Athletic Academy has nurtured.Mutwii is Athletics Kenyas rst vice chair and a former principal of another athletics powerhouse, Kwanthanze Secondary School. From the AK Southern Zone, it is only Kitui County that will participate in the newly-created Northern Region. Other counties in the region are Embu, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu. This leaves Kitui County with sole responsibility of protecting Mutwiis AK Southern Zone athletics legacy in the championships.

AK picks 10 for rst Africa Youth event

BY COPPERFIELD LAGAT
Athletics Kenya has selected 10 young runners to feature in the inaugural African Youth Athletics Championships which goes down in Warri, Nigeria, from Friday to Sunday this weekend. The team, comprising of athletes only in the ages of 16 and 17, left the country on Monday at 4am, having been in training at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi for one week. The AK Secretary of the Youth Sub-Committee, Japheth Kemei, has expressed his condence in the youngsters, saying he trusts them to win the championship without much trouble. Our team takes on board champions in the youth docket and we are expecting nothing less than a medal haul when they return on the second of next month, said Kemei. The contest, which comes barely three months before the World Youth Championships takes place in July in Donetsk, Ukraine, may be the incentive the young runners need to excel in Ukraine. Under the captaincy of reigning World Junior 3000 meters champion, Mercy Chebwogen, the athletes have demonstrated brilliant performances internationally and in regional contests. Chebwogen, who got dropped o the team that went for last weekends World Cross Country championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, following inadequate training, said: This will be my chance to prove my readiness for the World Youth Challenge. Eastern Regional Youth Championships silver medalist, Patrick Kiprotich Rono, headlines his twolap 800-metre race specialty, while Robert Kiptoo, who booked a slot after posting a personal best, will battle it out in 1500 meters category. Also in the team, and fresh from winning the Nairobi County Cross Junior Championships in February, Kilgoris-based Meshack Letim says he is in superlative form and hopes to bring out his best in Warri. I am very glad that my coaches have trusted me with this slot and hope to post brilliant results in Nigeria, said Letim. The 2000 meters steeplechase event takes an Edwin Melly and Abraham Biwot duo, who promise to give fellow youth a dash for the titles. Eastern Region Youth silver titlists in the 800 and 1500-meter events, Jarinta Mawia and Eva Cherono, will feature in those corresponding elds consecutively. Daisy Chepkemei and Stella Ruto will have another forum to shine after failing in Barcelona in 2011.

Prior earns England thrilling draw

Visitors go into nal day of the match with four wickets down but bravely avoid defeat
London nglands last-wicket pair held on to secure a stunning draw in a thrilling third Test against New Zealand yesterday. Matt Prior made a magnicent unbeaten 110 and Monty Panesar faced ve balls at the death to deny the hosts a series victory at Eden Park in Auckland. Prior and Stuart Broad defended stoutly after coming together at 237-7 at tea, but Broad and James Anderson fell in the fourth over before the close. However, Prior and Panesar clinched the draw with England on 315-9 at the end. Prior, who successfully overturned an lbw decision and survived the ball hitting his stumps earlier in his innings, faced 182 balls and batted for four hours and 29 minutes. It was the 31-year-old vice-captains seventh Test century and the longest innings of his 65-Test career. It is only the third time in Test cricket that a team had gone into the nal day of a match with four wickets down and avoided defeat. With Ian Bell dismissed in the last over before tea for a battling 75, Prior was left with three tail-enders going into the nal session. Broad, who has been in horrible form with the bat, also overturned an lbw decision, but batted with admirable discipline. He eventually got o the mark to his 62nd ball faced, after a Test record 103 minutes in the middle. With the tension growing, Prior almost played on but missed his leg stump by the smallest of margins. Looked desperate The wicketkeeper brought up their fty partnership, having hit all the runs, and moments later reached his century with a muted celebration. Boult thought he had Broad lbw to one that jagged back but he survived thanks to another review, while Prior was almost caught six overs from the end. New Zealand looked increasingly desperate as the overs ticked down but Kane Williamson had Broad and Anderson caught at slip in the space of three balls.

LONDON

Brazilian stalemates leave fans anxious

Brazils lacklustre 1-1 friendly draw with Russia at Stamford Bridge, coming on the back of another stalemate with Italy in Geneva, has worried fans concerned at their chances of a World Cup win on home soil next year, media reports said yesterday. Fluminense forward Fred grabbed a last-gasp equaliser after Victor Fayzulin had put the Russians ahead, and, although 2002 winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, in his second spell in charge of the auriverde, insisted his team is progressing, fans and media are unimpressed to date.

That brought in Panesar and he anxiously held his nerve, despite almost being run out in comical fashion after mistiming a dive to make his ground. England went into the series with many experts predicting a comprehensive victory following a historic series triumph in India. But Alastair Cooks side failed to match the high standards set before Christmas and, after two rain-aected draws, were thoroughly outplayed over the rst four days after putting the hosts into bat. The draw, however, means England remain above India in second place in the International Cricket Council Test rankings and denies New Zealand what would have been only their fourth series win against them. Starting the day on 90-4, and with the victory target of 481 no longer relevant, England needed to bat for a minimum of 90 overs. First-class innings Bell and Joe Root dropped anchor but fell just short of batting through the rst session. Left-arm seamer Trent Boult needed just one delivery with the new ball to break a stand of 60 - Root departing leg before for 29 pushing forward to an inswinger. Bell and Jonny Bairstow were both dropped in the nal over before lunch. The Warwickshire player was dropped at fourth slip by Dean Brownlie on 40 and Bairstow was put down at gully by Williamson two balls later as England went into the break on 158-5. Bairstow, who has played only two rst-class innings since August, was out for six after the interval when he edged Tim Southee to rst slip. Prior was given out lbw to Southee but the wicketkeeper had insideedged the ball and successfully overturned umpire Rod Tuckers decision on review. Prior kept playing his shots but had another close call when he pulled Southee high into the air, only for a diving Neil Wagner to just miss the toughest of overhead chances running back from midwicket. Then, on 28, the Sussex wicketkeeper somehow survived when a short delivery from Wagner ricocheted from his shoulder to his helmet and then onto the stumps, but without dislodging the bails. He survived another huge appeal from the Kiwis for a catch behind before Bell edged to Southee at third slip and departed after 271 balls of resistance. (BBC Sport)

Real Madrid boss Mourinho keeping quiet on his future

Madrid Jose Mourinho has dampened speculation that his presence in London means he is set for a summer move to the Premier League, but admits he hopes to return to England one day. Mourinhos tenure at Real Madrid seems to be drawing to a close, amid reports that he will be leaving Spain at the end of the season to seek a new challenge. The former Chelsea boss is currently in London taking advantage of the international break, but he insists that while he does have a love for the city and would like to return to the country as a manager one day, he is only thinking about Madrid at the moment. Every time I come to London people start making connections to me returning, he told Sky Sports News. I fear it a little bit because I say every day when I have the chance that I love it here, that I have spent fantastic times here and I will return here one day. To be fair, I give it a little bit of motivation for that speculation because I love it here but at the end of the day I am in Madrid and I am very, very committed to the ambitions of the club for the remainder of the season. We are in the last stages of the Champions League, we have a [Copa del Rey] nal to play against our rivals Atletico Madrid. People that know me, know that I am a professional. In this moment, I only speak about my job with Real. Huge success Mourinho was a huge success during his time at Stamford Bridge, guiding the west London club to their rst league title in 50 years, while also picking up a number of other trophies. The Portuguese says he will always have a special place for Chelsea and England in his heart, and one day wants to be back in the Premier League. I have big emotional connections with Chelsea and one day I think, naturally, I have to be back to English football, he said. To Chelsea or to another club. Of course Chelsea means to me dierently what other clubs do. Chelsea is in my heart like Inter [Milan] is and so one day I have to be back. With speculation mounting as to when exactly Sir Alex Ferguson will retire from managerial duties at Manchester United, Mourinho has often been touted as the Scots successor. Mourinho, though, says he would rather see his friend Ferguson at the helm at Old Traord for the foreseeable future, while he also ruled out the possibility of a move to Manchester City.

The minister, who is Senatorelect for Kisumu County, wants the court to stop the swearing in of elected leaders in Parliament until the next government is legally in place. He described as illegal the presidential directive requiring ministers elected to positions of senators, governors, MPs or women representatives to quit. In a petition certied as urgent, Prof Nyongo said there was no law that required elected ministers and their assistants to resign, adding that the matter had been compounded by the petition in the Supreme Court challenging the outcome of the presidential poll. The government is in transition to a devolved system and, as such, ministers and their assistants are not holding two oces.

Im no longer afraid of bullies

HAVE YOUR SAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Miracles do happen
Just like Loureen, I found my father only recently, but after a very dicult search. My mother died when I was four months old. Nobody, not even my elder sister, knew who he was or what he looked like. I was 10 years old when I learnt that the woman I thought was my mother was actually my aunt. That is when I began to wonder about my father. I nally gathered the courage to ask when I turned 14 and in Form One. My aunt suggested that I ask a woman who had been my mothers closest friend. She introduced me to a man whom she thought was my father, but he was adamant that he was not, that he and my mother had just been friends. I was disappointed and gave up the search, but when I turned 21, I decided that I had to know who my father was. I approached my mothers friend again and asked whether she knew any other male friend of my late mothers. She gave me the details of another man who had been friendly with my mother and who owned a company in Westlands. To cut a long story short, this man turned out to be my father. He welcomed me with open arms and even employed me in his company. Mary Kiuna Loureens story is just great. I could not help shedding a few tears of joy. Kudos to Mr Ruteres wife, Lucy, and her siblings for embracing her. Ishimilele This is a great and touching story which should encourage those who fear to meet the children they got out of wedlock because they fear how it will aect their families. It is the right of every child to know his or her father. I salute Mrs Ruteere for welcoming Loureen as her own. Nancy Paridaen I am ghting back tears as I read this story. Thank you for telling it because it just gave this young woman the family she has always longed for. Sam Kizito arap Tulus I believe that every girl deserves a special relationship with her father. I am saying this because I have a great relationship with my father and I cannot imagine not having him in my life. I applaud Loureen for taking a step of faith to nd her father. Wanja Rutere, you and your daughter look so alike. You are a man-anda-half, and I salute your wife too. What a happy ending! Wanja Njuguna This is one of the most touching stories I have read in a long time. Bob kismat

had a dream the other day, the kind that transports you back in time I was in Form One, and it was visiting day. There were plenty of goodies to feast on later that evening. The only problem was that most of the savouring was done by the senior students. The role of Form Ones was to pay libations to their ancestors the senior students. Failure to pay led to dire consequences for the defaulter. Well, on this particular day, I was not ready to pay. I stood my ground, to the astonishment of my fellow Form Ones. I saw them beg me through clenched teeth to let go my cookies for all our sakes, but I resisted for all our sakes. A tussle ensued between a senior student and I, and somehow, it reached the headmaster, an Irish man of short stature with a aring temper. The senior student purported that I had insulted him. I retorted that I had not, but if I had, he would not have understood the insult anyway. You see, this senior student was slow in grasping the Queens language. The headmaster let a quirky smirk slip through his stern demeanour. A Form One standing up to a Form Four, theres a rst! he must have mused. Nonetheless, we both got a good thrashing. I suppose it was the Irish way of settling disputes. If it is ones word against another due to lack of witnesses, let both parties suer.

However, something good came out of the incident. The headmaster asked me to investigate cases of bullying in the school and report to him. I embarked on the task zealously. Notorious bullies were unmasked, and began to pay for their crimes. Soon, stories of our success spread across the district, the province, and even the country. The strategy we had applied to bring a stop to bullying was emulated in boy schools all over Kenya. The end of bullying was in sight. We envisaged that within a few years, never would any student have to go through the horrifying experience that is monolisation . Indeed, I was on a good run; appearing in school magazines, turning girls heads in symposiums, featuring in TV and radio... and then I woke up. It is such a sinking feeling when dreams take you to the loftiest of clouds, only for reality to bring you back to earth with a loud thud. I sat on the edge of my bed thinking

IT IS SUCH A SINKING FEELING WHEN DREAMS TAKE YOU TO THE LOFTIEST OF CLOUDS, ONLY FOR REALITY TO BRING YOU BACK TO EARTH WITH A LOUD THUD. EVANS

long and hard. I was a puny fellow back then and bore the brunt of the bullies in school. My food, my time, my uniform were not mine. I should have stood up for what is mine but no, timidity always got the better of me. When I needed it most, courage failed me miserably. I still remember the faces of my bullies; some dark with bloodshot eyes, some light with dark scars that scared the living daylights out of me. I still remember them. I am older now, wiser and braver too. I still meet bullies of all kinds; those who want to swindle me of my hard-earned possessions, those who want to hold me back from chasing my dreams, those who want to force their opinion on me, heck, even those who want to entice me for a rendezvous between the sheets. Sometimes I think to myself, If only I knew then what I know now, life would be so dierent . However, life does not play out like that. We learn from our past, do right in the present to avoid regrets in the future. I have learnt from my past my high school days to be precise. I have learnt that bullies will always be there in life. It is how I respond to them that determines whether they linger or not. I rose from my bed, read my Bible, showered, and dressed, then stepped out, ready to tussle with the bullies that the world would bring my way.

These foods will warm you up

These natural foods are not only healthy, they will also keep the cold at bay
The long rains are here, and with them cold chilly morning weather. You can do more to keep warm besides dressing in layers, which can be uncomfortable. Why not try these warming foods which contain heat-generating properties? Garlic Garlic raises body temperature within a few minutes and, in the process, boosts metabolism. It tastes great with pilau and is a must-have addition in stir-fries or vegetable soups. Hot pepper Capsaicin, the substance that gives hot peppers their pungent avor, generates heat in the body. Generally, hot spicy foods are stimulants which raise body temperature by stimulating circulation. Lemon Add a slice or two to hot water before you start the day. This fruit is not only rich in vitamin C, it also helps to detoxify the liver, which is the bodys main fat-burning organ. In the process, it enhances metabolism and triggers the release of heat as the body burns calories.
Lemon juice tastes especially great when added to black tea.

tea in the morning? You can also add it to sh stew, fried rice, and vegetable curry. Coconut oil Coconut oil is comprised of mostly mediumchain fatty acids, which, when eaten, increase thermogenesis. Coconut oil denitely is not a low-fat food one tablespoon contains 117 calories and 13.6 grammes of fat, but it is a powerful thermogenic oil. Cinnamon Add some to your morning tea, coee, milk, and fruit juice, not only to enhance taste, but also to oer that needed warm up eect. Cinnamon increases the bodys metabolism by increasing body temperature. What is more, it is rich in manganese and iron. Green Tea Thanks to its high level of caeine, a steamy mug of green tea will pick you up. It contains caeine and catechins, w h i c h generate heat, and will therefore warm you up instantly.

Hot pepper: Hot spicy foods are stimulants that raise the body temperature.

Peanuts, sesame, and pumpkin seeds A handful of peanuts are enough to generate lasting body heat, so is a handful of sesame and pumpkin seeds, which are great body warmers. Sesame seeds are also good for the digestive system, while pumpkin seeds make great snacks when roasted. Boiled pumpkins are also good heat-generators. Fruits and Veggies Fruits and vegetables will also give your body the warmth it needs. Ensure that you have a serving of fruits and vegetables to each of your meals every day. They also boost the immune system, improve blood ow, and enhance metabolism.

Ginger This root is also great for warming up the body on a cold day. It contains two pungent compounds: gingerol and shogaol, which contain heatgenerating properties. Why not try a cup of ginger

Ginger: To thaw the chill, take a cup of ginger tea before beginning your day.

SHADRACK N. KIRUNGA

Thank you the two magical words every relationship needs

Gratitude is one of the best motivators there is

Gratitude is an attitude, not merely a response to an act. | FILE

ay thank you! Anyone who has had an opportunity to bring up a child must have uttered those words innumerable times. Sometimes this will be said menacingly, at the top of your voice, other times it will come as a veiled threat, cajoling or nudging. It is the same thing in relationships in some cases, gratefulness does not come easy. It is often ignored, done grudgingly, or used to manipulate a partner for a favour. But why is saying thank you so important? There are two ideas I nd important in considering gratefulness. First, gratitude is an attitude, not merely a response to an event or an act. The reason we ask children to be thankful is not just for us to feel appreciated for giving them a candy bar, rather, it is to build an attitude of gratefulness that enables them to appreciate the sacrifices of others. It creates sensitivity in them to appreciate those sacrices even when they are not readily observable or quantiable in the

immediate sense. Consequently, the attitude of being grateful helps us to nd something to be grateful about in every situation. This probably sounds like a sermon, but the reality of life is that every dark cloud has a silver lining, and learning to see that makes a whole lot of dierence. Some time back, a certain debate came up in a conversation with colleagues in regard to intimacy. The question was, should couples thank each other after getting intimate? The basis of that question is the fact of conjugal rights, the notion that one has rights over the others body. Does that mean that one should not be grateful for anything that is a right? Definitely not. Everything good that your spouse does is worthy of praise and appreciation and should never be taken for granted.

Value each other

Now allow me to preach from the good prophet, Habakkuk. He said: Though the g tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the elds produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Saviour. Sometimes you see nothing worth appreciating in your partner, but in essence, the most important reason for

being grateful is the inherent value of the person you chose to spend your life with. He or she is worth much more than the cumulative value of anything he or she could ever give or do for you. Why be grateful? First, being appreciated generates a feel good mood that helps people to perform better in their roles even in the face of diculties. For instance, when a man thanks his wife for taking care of the children, she is likely to enjoy her role more, do it even better, and be able to get over the blues that child rearing usually brings. The fact is that a spouse who is appreciated is likely to reciprocate by being grateful, creating a cycle that leads to a more fullling relationship. A research by psychologist Sara Algoe and colleagues found that grateful couples were more satised in their relationships and felt closer to each other and, therefore, stay together much longer. (psychologytoday.com/blog). The opposite of being grateful is taking things for granted, a major threat to relationships. Like the children we so dutifully train, couples ought to have the attitude of being thankful if for nothing else than the gift of a spouse.

The Karonese wedding is an elabora

1pm, when Cindy, the youngest team member, was finally outtted in a much simpler attire. Most of the time is taken up crafting the headgear a stunning affair that is achieved by piling layers of old newspapers and brightly coloured materials. Believe it or not, dressing the bridal team usually starts around 4am, to ensure that the group is ready for the ceremony, which normally begins by 10am. The traditional and Christian ceremonies are mostly conducted on the same day, but sometimes on dierent days, though this is rare. While in Kenya church weddings tend to be more expensive than traditional ones, the reverse appears to be the case among the Karos. According to Erdian Sembiring, a former student of Prof Musopole, the cost of a Karonese traditional wedding ceremony varies, depending on the village from where the bride comes and on the length of the bridal procession. Generally, however, a traditional wedding will cost about Sh595,000 in Berastagi, Erdians home town, while the church or Christian ceremony will be cheaper about Sh42,500. According to him, the wedding venue whether conducted in a small village like Berastagi or in a big city like Medan determined the ultimate cost. The church ceremony tends to be restricted to the immediate family and close friends, unlike the traditional ceremony, which includes the extended family. A study I saw indicates that Indonesians observe strict traditions as regards marriage, and a girl who becomes pregnant out of wedlock has only two choices: to marry the man responsible for the pregnancy or to abort. And since abortion is only allowed to save a mothers life here, any such abortion would be done backstreet, endangering the girls life. Parents of a girl who gets pregnant out of wedlock are usually required to banish

THE COST OF A KARONESE TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY DEPENDS ON THE VILLAGE THE BRIDE COMES FROM AND ON THE LENGTH OF THE BRIDAL PROCESSION

ERDIAN

n the western part of Kenya where I come from, you only solemnise two marriage ceremonies a traditional one and a Christian one if you were caught up in a situation that ruled out going straight to church. And I am not referring to the come we stay arrangement, which is frowned upon by both the traditionalists and the faithful of the many Christian denominations in the region, because it is usually an aair between two people without their respective families blessings. Rather, I am referring to the customary marriage, okhubakhwa, which is recognised in Kenyan law and which takes place after the groom has met all the pre-wedding requirements, as dictated by the bridal side. Then the bridesmaids ebakhwa escort the bride to her matrimonial home on the designated day to a big celebration hosted by the grooms side.

If, in the course of time, the couple convert to Christianity, then a wedding in church is called for. This usually happens years later, sometimes even after the children have moved out of home. Imagine, therefore, our surprise when, on an eight-day tour of Indonesia, my travel companions, Ms Cindy Hsin Lee, Ms Mei-ling Lai, and Prof Augustine Musopole, and I came face-to-face with the rich Karonese culture, where church and traditional weddings are conducted back-to-back. The Karonese people, most of whom live in the Karo Highlands of North Sumatra, are jealously protective of their culture and will spare no eort to show it o to tourists. Perhaps because of our privileged status as guests of Prof Musopoles past and current students, and coworshippers with Ms Lai and Ms Hsin at the Tainan International Community Church, we enjoyed greater exposure to the Karo way of life than might have been possible had we ventured into Indonesia on our own. Thus, while on a tour of the Berastagi neighbourhood, which is close to 70km from Medan city, the provincial capital of North Sumatra, we bumped into a wedding celebration, which our hosts insisted we must see. Apprehensive of being branded gate-crashers, our hesitation was allayed by our hosts, who insisted that on the contrary,

we would be most welcome. They were right, for no sooner did we enter the grounds of the community hall, where the ceremony was taking place, than an ebullient man grabbed Prof Musopole and said: Come! Lets take a photo together, because you are a Sembiring like me. His darker-than-average complexion was not lost to us and we soon learned that Sembirings a Karonese sub-clan originally came from India and are of darker complexion than average Indonesians. We were even more surprised to be

introduced to the newlyweds total strangers to us and to be invited, not only to pose for a photo with them (such is Karonese warmth simplicity), they also asked us to stay on at the reception, an invitation we politely declined. We were intrigued by the couples spectacular wedding attire, which included elaborate head gear and ashy jewellery. As you can imagine, we were excited when we were invited for a demonstration of the traditional dressing of the bridal couple the following day. A traditional dressers is painstaking work as we experienced from 10am, when I sat to be dressed, to

her from the community to live with relatives until the baby is born. Because unwed motherhood is literally out of the question, marriage is held in high esteem, occurring on average at the age of 25 and 30 years for women and men respectively. Inasmuch as sexual intimacy is an integral part of marriage preparation, most young Indonesians generally miss out on this since sex is largely a taboo subject, and boys are forced to mostly learn about it from peers and pornography. The Indonesian Family Welfare Law withholds such information from young unmarried people. Premarital counselling is, therefore, restricted to the promotion of the family, moral, and religious values. The wedding for the Karonese society is very important because this is the last stage where parents will be doing their responsibility for their children. The wedding takes priority among the Karonese, and the immediate family expects participation of all families and relatives, Erdian said. Family support includes exchange of ideas, attending the weddings, and providing nancial support voluntarily. And, unlike in Kenya, where urban youth tend to provide most support for prospective couples, their support is only voluntarily; there are no specific standards regarding the support of friends, he said. Also, unlike the neighbouring Indian sub-continent where the woman pays a dowry for her husband, the man pays bride-price among the Karos. The amount is determined by individual families. The marriages are not arranged as such, although the families get deeply involved once they learn of the young peoples intention to get married, oering most of the needed support. Although Erdian, 38, met his wife, Victorya Tarigan, in junior high school and later participated in the Scouts Movement in 1986, it was not until 2011 that they got married. Not so Pastor Theo Dosius Keliat, 31, who married his girlfriend within six months of their rst meeting. Having wedded only last year, the whole aair is still fresh in his mind. We met at a wedding party of a couple, which had close ties with both of our families in June 2011, the pastor says, adding that nobody arranged their meeting and they neither exchanged phone numbers nor called each other thereafter, although they occasionally met. Around September, they agreed to get married, hence in October, my family and I came to my wifes parents house to apply (Karo language: nungkuni),

in accordance with the rst stage of the marriage custom of Karo, he told Living. During a 30-a-side meeting involving both families, the deal to get married was sealed and they moved on to the next stage, Ngembah Belo Selambar, which, unlike the rst meeting at the girls home, was held at the jambur (hall) in the girls village. Four hundred people attended the meeting, where the date, place, and everything that was needed for the marriage, ranging from the Christian and the traditional ceremony, was discussed. Discussions focus on plans for the big day, with the grooms side largely picking up the bill. Our wedding was held on Friday, January 6, 2012, from 2.30pm to 6.30pm, and continued in the evening with the Nganting Manuk a

This was an awesome aair that was attended by 2,500 people, church members, and the local government, and which lasted the whole day from 9am to 5pm. A Karonese traditional wedding is a boisterous aair with song and dance and plenty of food. Rice is the main Indonesian fare and the accompanying stews can be pretty spicy and bordering on the hot. Bridesmaids are very rare , and if needed, two are maximum. Both in theory and in practice, Karo people rate the traditional wedding highly. The responsibility to carry out (the traditional wedding) is greater than the religious one. Karo traditional wedding customs are understood as a traditional debt that must be paid, Pastor Keliat said, adding that Karo people who opt for just the religious event or just go through the Civil Registration Agency run into problems when it is their childs turn to get married, because such a child cannot hold a customary marriage. As the Swahili say, mwacha mila ni mtumwa.

Post-election domestic dispute gone awry

I am sure that Eston* is not alone in his post-election domestic tribulations. To put it plainly, Eston needs a delegation of elders to go to his wifes home and correct the damage he caused, which is directly related to the elections. While some are celebrating and others going to court, Eston is dealing with a dierent outcome altogether. When I called Eston barely a week after the elections, I was livid. I wanted my money back, or a good explanation why he had not completed minor repair work I needed done urgently. His low tone from the other end told me that something was up, and I held myself back. Maam, this election messed me up and I dont know what to do or where to start. But the elections are over and we need to get back to work to put food on the table. We cant keep on celebrating someone elses payroll while ours is diminishing, I told him. He explained that during the campaigns, he and his wife had several arguments regarding who should be elected for what position. Eston insisted that his wife should vote for his party candidates here in Nairobi. As for him, he would go to the village, where he had registered, and do likewise. Secret ballot His wife replied that since she would be alone at the ballot booth, she is the only one who would know who to vote for. After all, it was a secret ballot. The conversation ended without agreement, but Eston had the last word. Utaona ukichagua mwingine. Meaning that she would suer dire consequences if she failed to vote for his favourite candidates. Do not ask me how he was to ensure this, but that was the last subject they discussed before he departed for the village the following day. On the eve of the General Election, Eston was drinking in the village with his friends when he decided to call his wife and remind her who is boss. He inquired if she remembered what he told her a dozen times. With the condence and the power of the bottle, he told me, he threatened her, but did not mean it. In case you wont vote for my party and all the candidates I support, pack your clothes and leave. And wait until I return, youll know I dont mince my words. Ill drum sense into you because youve grown horns. He hang up the phone as his drinking buddies laughed boisterously, commenting that his wife now knew her place. But surprise awaited Eston. After voting, when he tried to reach his wife, she did not answer his calls. She later went mteja. He wanted to apologise and tell her that he had been intoxicated and had not been serious, that he did not want her to leave. No wife When he returned to Nairobi with several goodies from the village, he was surprised not to nd his children playing outside. What is more, the house was empty, save for his old clothes hanging loosely on the window, acting as curtains. Estons wife had literally packed as she had been told, rather than face his wrath. Maam, the time you were calling me, I was searching for my wife and children. She left with everything, including her stepson, a child Id had from another relationship. Eston said that he wanted to send a delegation of wazee to her parents to apologise or petition, if you like but he was not sure of her whereabouts. Its very hard for me without her. This is my third day without a bath. Ive not had a decent meal since she left. I just dont know where to start if she doesnt come back. All I want is her and my children to come back, and my life to go back to normal. As Eston sorrowfully ate his drunken words, I told him I wished him luck in tracing his wife, and that I could wait until he had sorted out his domestic issues. I had no words of consolation. Initially, I wanted to laugh, but then I realised that I would only be adding insult to injury.

Alteration and cancellation of grants: What you need to know

Last week we took you through the process of conrmation of grant, which is basically the authority from the court for the distribution of the assets of the estate of the deceased to the entitled beneciaries. Today, we shall address the alteration and cancellation of grant is it possible, and do foreign grants have eect in Kenya? 1. Can a grant be altered or cancelled? Yes. The court can rectify a grant in case there are incorrect names or wrong descriptions of time or place of the deceaseds death. Such errors can be amended before or after the conrmation of the grant. A grant of representation, whether conrmed or not, may be cancelled by the court or declared null upon the courts own volition or on the successful application by an interested party in the following circumstances: If the court is of the view that the grant was obtained fraudulently through making a false statement, or the concealment of a material fact to the case. ii. The court is dissatised with the court process that led to the obtaining of the grant. iii. If you as the holder of the i. grant have failed to apply for conrmation of the grant within a year from the date it was issued to you, or to diligently administer the estate of the deceased, or to produce to the court any account of administration as is required. iv. If the grant has become useless and non-operative through subsequent circumstances. 2. Can a grant issued in another country be valid in Kenya? If a person dies abroad and he has property both in Kenya and in other countries, it is possible for the grant issued in the foreign country to be used for the property that is in Kenya. If the grant is issued by a court that has jurisdiction to make decisions in family and probate matters in any Commonwealth country, it can be sealed with the seal of our High Court, making it valid here. However, before the High Court seals a foreign grant, it must be satised that estate duty has been paid, sucient evidence has been given to determine the place where the deceased person permanently resided, and where the deceased person was in debt, be satised that adequate security has been given to pay any creditor residing in Kenya. 3. What happens in a case where one does not have an original foreign grant but wishes for a copy of the grant to take eect in Kenya? In such a case, if you have a certied copy of the grant from any Commonwealth country, then you can present it to the High Court for sealing. This way, it will act as though it was an original grant. A certied copy means it has been authenticated as a true copy of the original.

DONT ADD SALT TO FOOD BEFORE YOU FRY >> CHEF RAPHAEL

Deep-frying the healthy way

ast week, I promised that I would give you tips on how best to deep-fry food. Here are a few things to bear in mind.

to fry should be thoroughly patted dry with a paper towel before being submerged in hot oil. If using wet batter, such as for tempura or onion rings, be sure to shake o excess batter before frying. 3. Fry rst, salt second Salt is an essential ingredient when cooking. However, timing when to season is everything when it comes to deep-frying. Never salt food before deep-frying since the salt draws moisture to the foods surface and causes the hot oil to splatter. Salt also lowers the smoke point of oil, which in turn breaks down the oil molecules more quickly. The trick is to add salt to food immediately after removing it from the hot oil, when it has the best chance of sticking to the food.

1. What is the right oil? The rst step to the bestever fried food is choosing the right oil. It is essential to consider the oils taste and smoke point before heating the oil. The taste of oil is determined by its origin. For example, canola oil, which is made from the rapeseed plant, tastes fairly neutral, whereas olive oil has strong fruity and oral notes, depending on the variety of olive used to produce it. The smoke point of oil refers to the temperature at which the oil begins to decompose and give o visible smoke and fumes. During this process, the structure of the oil molecules begins to break down, which creates acrolein, a noxious-smelling compound. For this reason, deep-frying requires an oil with a high smoke point (typically above 190C) so that the molecules do not break down too quickly at high temperatures. Oils with high smoke points include peanut, saower, sunower, and corn.

Sunower and corn oil are good for frying. Photos | FILE | COURTESY Note that the oil temperature can rise quickly between the smoke point and flash point, at which wisps of ame appear. Most oils reach their flash point at about 315C. If oil continues to be heated to even higher temperatures (about 371C), it will reach its re point, causing a full-blown blaze. Hot oil is dangerous, so a quality deep-fry thermometer may be necessary to accurately gauge and consistently maintain the temperature of your oil if you deep fry often. Frequent heat uctuations can be dangerous as well, and will shorten the life span of your oil because it oxidises faster at higher temperatures. 2.Water and oil dont mix Water is oils worst enemy since the two liquids do not mix. Adding water to hot oil will actually cause an explosion, therefore keep your work area completely dry. Never store water near your deep fryer or on a shelf above the stove. Also, foods that you intend

Next week, we will look at four more tips that will, hopefully, help you to be a better cook at home whenever you decide to deep fry. I will also tell you what to look out for when deciding where to have a plate of chips and chicken. For more recipes and tips, go to www.facebook.com/ chefraphael or email raphael@chef-raphael.com

NUTRITION WITH SONA PARMAR MUKHERJEE

How do I get my child to eat healthy food?

Q. My son would be happy eating queen cakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. How can I get him to eat healthy food? It is not uncommon for children to want to eat the same thing all day, every day, but as a parent, it can be frustrating. Encourage your son to try at least a few mouthfuls of dierent nutritious foods at each meal. Since children are often slow to accept new tastes and textures, you may have to serve a food 10 to 15 times before they try it. Do not overwhelm him with too many new things at once. Also, try not to let your sons pickiness become a source of mealtime tension. Rather than going out of your way to cook him a special meal, include something he likes in every meal. Another thing you have to be careful of doing with fussy eaters is to use food as a reward. Telling your son that he can have some cake if he eats his sukuma wiki only reinforces the appeal of the sweet stu over the vegetables. I would also suggest that you involve your son in preparing food. You could look for recipes with ingredients he likes and invite him to join you in the shopping, cooking, and serving of food. Dont let them ll up on juice and try oering veggies as between-meal snacks. If your child likes peanut butter, let her put it on other foods as a topping. You could also use cookie cutters to transform food into fun shapes he will enjoy biting. Q. My daughter is four-and-a-half. Should she be exercising? Yes, it is true that physically exercise is important at any age, and children who are active at a young age tend to stay active later in life. They also have a lower risk of becoming overweight or developing heart disease. At four-and-a-half, your daughters exercise will most likely be in the form of playing running, playing tag, or kicking a ball around. So the best thing you can do is to ensure that she gets plenty of time outside, away from the TV. As much as possible, join in. Not only does this set a good example, but you will also get some quality time together. Q. My youngest child, who is 19 months old, seems to have developed a taste for dry dog food. Should I be worried? While I do not know why your child prefers dog food, I do know that it is probably not a good idea. Aside from the fact that dog food is not nutritionally sound for humans and dog dishes are not clean, the small, dry pieces could cause choking. Also, dogs are often very territorial over their food. Even a gentle dog can turn on a child who is playing with its food. Due to this, dog food dishes should always be o limits to children. Only put enough food in your dogs dish for that meal, and then put it away after the dog is done. Also ensure that your child stays away from the dog while he is eating. Encourage your toddler to try other nger foods that are suited for humans, like cereal or crackers. The writer is a clinical nutritionist and certied by the Nutritional Therapy Council in the UK.

He can, she cant

The inside story of alleged discrimination at what has previously been one of Kenyas most progressive private clubs

Inside the bruising battle for

Winds of change: For a club that was among the rst in its league to have a female chairperson, Limuru Country Club has denitely been progressive. But a recent decree barring female members from voting in in-house elections has started a re that is spreading fast and consuming many in its wake. Even before the courts rule on the way forward, a number of senior ocials have resigned
BY PETER ODUOR
poduor@ke.nationmedia.com he public knows about Limuru Country Club. This is an unusual thing because LCC is a private club which, like most such establishments, values its independence and privacy. But not anymore. From the beginning of the year, the club has been all over the news, like some bad infection that refuses to go away. Right now, they have neither the independence because the courts, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the Kenya Golf Union (KGU), the media, and gender institutions have all moved into their business nor the privacy since little about the club can be said to be private any more. The reason for the misfortunes of the club is an allegation of discrimination on the basis of gender. The alleged discrimination happened on December 19 last year at a board of directors meeting and has taken a life of its own. But backstage, hidden from the eyes of the public, there has been heated encounters, protests, failed inter-parties meetings, phone calls, emails, lobbying, and resignations. From the board of directors to the members, from the Ministry of Youth Aairs and Sports to the Kenya Golf Union, from the chairman of the club to its members and those aggrieved, it has been a period of he can; she cant. He says; she says. He this; she that. A period of taking sides. Part of a notice sent out to members of the club on March 6, 2013 invites them to declare as valid a number of board resolutions, among them that the golf committee, being a male-only aair, decrees that only full male members with valid handicaps and who are fully paid up will be allowed to participate in the meeting , and that lady golfers will attend the meeting as guests . The above is Agenda 4 in a notice circulated to members and all directors of the club for a meeting scheduled for April 3. That same agenda, a by-law passed at the club by the directors, has been the cause of all the furore and fury that has now robbed the club of its privacy. Right off the bat, Limuru Country Club has always been a progressive and gender equality-conscious club; it is one of the countrys private clubs in a

male-controlled field that had a female chairman by the early 2000s, and one of the women involved in the current aray with the club, Rose Mambo, was once a vice-chair. History, then, proves that LCC has been progressive over the years. But that was until they decided to revoke the rights of women to vote (although they pay equal subscription), suspended some, stripped them of their titles, then expelled those who protested. The aggrieved women Rose Mambo, Martha Vincent, and Caroline Ngugi have since gone to court through lawyer Philip Murgor, and that is a story for another day. But what happened before the court was drawn into the aairs of this colourful, heritage-rich club? On January 16, the chairman of the club, Mr Yassin Awale, sent out an email to members of the board complaining about his insomnia, which had been caused by a viral email titled LCC Season 1, Episode 4 that had found its way to other clubs. The mail was a mockery of the actions of their club. Awale wanted his sleep back and urged the members to rise above the problem. Writing on behalf the board, he said that as much as their interest was to safeguard the tradition that had governed the same elections in the past, they erred on imposing the by-law. Seeking their guidance and deliberation, he implored for utmost condentiality. One day later, Mr Joe Wainaina, who was then a director at the club he resigned on February 22 agreed with the chairman and asked members to bite this bullet once and for all and apologise to the members that they erred, and to err is human . Noting that the emotions occasioned by the by-law would not go away, he talked of how it takes big men and women to make bold decisions, and that their test had come and they could not aord to fail. But while there were people who wanted to set things right, some members stood rm. While some female members walked out of the directors meeting of December 19, some stayed, okay with the turn of events. This group has since distanced itself from the protests of their fellow women.

Taking sides

Some were okay

Once things started moving I, we, just could not go back. We have served the club and hope that the judicial system will get the club to get things back to how they were before. Even if not for us, then for the sake of other women who will join the club later. Rose Mambo
On that same day, some men switched sides to support the women, although they did not join them in the walk-out. Two

of those men have since resigned one from a post to which he was elected three days after the by-law was passed, and the other from his post as a director. The hardliners, if they can be called such, were represented in the correspondences by Mr Kimuri Gitau. His email, copied to the relevant directors, asked for time since the deadlines were still way o. The man felt that the entire membership of the club should be involved and asserted that disciplinary issues were not negotiable and could not be tied to legal matters. By this time, telephone calls had been made to the Kenya Golf Union, and from the golf union oces calls had been made to the Commissioner of Sports, Mr

Gordon Oluoch, at the Ministry of Youth and Sports Aairs. Weighing in with an authoritatively heavy hand, the commissioner sent a carefully worded but curt letter to the chairman of the Kenya Golf Union, Mr Alfred Kariuki. I wholeheartedly welcome your oer to listen to the oended parties today, February 7, 2013, and inter-parties on February 8, 2013. Kindly do this most objectively and with a view to nding a lasting solution to the problems, and if it is established that gender discrimination does actually take place and is instituted in the organisations by-laws, we instruct that you take decisive measures to correct this anomaly at once.

solution is not reached by Monday, February 11, 2013, we shall, as a ministry, collectively seek to resolve this matter. No solution was found. No resolution made. They could not get along and no one was resting in peace. Phone calls, emails, and careless words were being thrown around. Hardliners were telling the men supporting the women to go join them at the ladies section while the hardliners were requested to go work on their self-esteem issues if they believed that granting the women the right to vote would encroach on their space. On Valentines Day, Mr Oluoch sent out a red notice to the Kenya Golf Union chairman, directing that all relevant parties of Limuru Country Club, Kenya Golf Union, Kenya Ladies Golf Union, and the aggrieved female members should report to his oce on Wednesday, February 21, 2013 without fail. He vented about how the laws

of Kenya and the sports policy may have been violated, how information was reaching him that the club had taken further action against the aggrieved women, and how the game of golf was being brought into disrepute. Following all the drama, the question on the lips of many was whether this club had any internal mechanisms of solving its disputes. And the answer is, yes, it does. Mr Awale, the chairman of the club, says the aected women did not follow the right protocol when trying to air their grievances.

We could have solved this problem as a club since what the committee or board decides has to be taken to the general members, who would shoot it down if they felt it was inhibiting, said Mr Awale in a telephone interview with DN2. But the ladies did not give this a chance. Instead, they decided to misinform the public. But Ms Mambo disagrees, saying that the by-law was passed three days to the clubs elections, and that if they were to present their case, they would need 14 days, as required by the clubs rules. By this time, the elections would have taken place, which is what actually happened. Another way of resolving the disputes, as stipulated in the clubs Articles of Association, was to head to the patron of KGU, who would then use his oce and powers to bring peace between the aggrieved parties. The patron of KGU happens to be President Mwai Kibaki, and Ms Mambo says that they did, indeed, consult him. After the consultation, the chairman of the club wrote to the eect that the by-law would be removed, the expulsion of the agitating female members cancelled, and that Ms Mambo would be reinstated to her position as vice-chair. Nothing happened, and the club went silent on the issue. This was around the late teens of February 2013. President Kibaki, probably after realising that his counsel had been taken to the dustbin, decided to use the Kenya Open prize presentation to speak his mind. I am very concerned to learn that some sports federations are attempting to block the participation of other stakeholders in the development of their respective games, the President said, and

urged the Ministry of Youth and Sports Aairs and government agencies to investigate the matter, saying he was concerned about apparent gender discrimination in some sports organisations. He did not name any club. Mr Wainaina resigned as a director shortly after this, on February 22, in a letter that would have saddened any board, but not this one. They probably were relieved that he stepped down. He was, after all, on the side of the women. Lawyer Murgor says that

The date this year when Joe Wainaina resigned from his position as a director of the Limuru Country Club. But it did not have to get to this. Among the many ways of resolving this dispute, as stipulated in the clubs Articles of Association, was to head to the patron of KGU, who would then use his oce and powers to bring peace between the aggrieved parties. The patron of KGU happens to be President Mwai Kibaki, and Ms Mambo says that they did, indeed, consult him. His advice was not heeded, and now the courts will decide the next course of action.

President Kibaki, as the patron of KGU, could not help much. In an interview with DN2 on what they plan to do next, he said he was determined to get the women back into the club and that in the next few weeks, he would be caught up in one of the countys most fascinating court battles. Mr Murgor says that the Limuru legal team made a bad gamble

when they assumed that he would not go to court despite the fact that he was part of the several failed negotiation meetings. Most of the club members are dissatised with the directors, blaming them for creating the crisis and being unable to resolve it, he says. Ms Winfred Lichuma, the chairperson of the National Gender and Equality Commission, acknowledges that equality does not come in a day, and that it takes the whole society to change the status quo. Affirmative action (positive discrimination aimed at factoring in under-represented groups) has done a lot for women lately. But it is unfortunate that we still have people who want to live in the past, says Ms Lichuma. Although unwilling to comment on the Limuru Country Club since her oce had received a communiqu from both parties, Ms Lichuma insisted that the responsibility of fully liberating women lies with everyone . Ms Mambo, speaking on why she decided to protest against the contentious by-law, says that the fact that her right to vote existed before and was being yanked away did not sit well with her. But once things started moving I, we, just could not go back. We have served the club and hope that the judicial system will get the club to get things back to how they were before. Even if not for us, then for the sake of other women who will join the club later, she says. Mr Awale concedes that rules are subject to change and that the club has internal mechanisms that can be used to resolve matters. But he has a rejoinder; when you do not follow the rules, you are defying the house and that means consequences will definitely follow.

What is the problem with

BEHIND THE WHEEL
Hi Baraza, I recently bought a second-hand VW Touareg with a ve-cylinder TDI engine from the UK. While I love the car (after replacing the shocks), I fear I may have not done my pre-purchase selection well enough as I have been informed that local agents refused to stock diesel Touaregs due to a potential mismatch between our local diesel quality and the VW commonrail engine. I have also been informed that similar issues have been identied with the new Land Rover diesels, which are also common-rail. Is there an identied problem with this type of engine? If so, what is it and what can be done to avoid problems? Many thanks in advance, Moose Moose, I nd this interesting because I know CMC sold diesel as well as petrol Touaregs, MK I version (or did they?) What I know for sure is that they sell diesel Land Rovers (and Range Rovers); in fact, last year they were proud to show me the new 2.2 turbodiesel in the Defender, bringing smoothness and economy to a car that knew none of these things. The diesel engines that I am fully aware of failing courtesy of our diesel are Hyundais: a recent visit to the premises revealed that tests done resulted in engine failures after a mere 50,000km an unacceptable premise. As such, the Hyundai agent here will NOT sell diesel engines. According to the Internet, our diesel contains 50ppm (parts per million) sulphur content, same as South Africa and Morocco. Sulphur is a naturally occurring component of the crude oil from which diesel is derived. manufacturer would have started building Euro V-standard engines ahead of time so that by the time it comes into force, they will not be caught on the wrong side of the fence. So what happens when you feed Euro IV-compliant fuel into a Euro V-specied engine? Soot build-up is going to exceed regeneration ability. The DPF will get clogged. A warning light will come on the dashboard. Fuel consumption will shoot up. Power will drop. At the critical level of 75 per cent, the vehicle will stall (same point at which many more dashboard lights will come on). So you will have to bring the car in for regeneration or a DPF replacement. These things are not cheap: one costs Sh130,000 or more, depending on manufacturer. With this happening on a regular basis, you can see why my Car Clinic and the income statuses of several garages will ourish. Replacing a DPF every three months will ring alarm bells with your bank manager and your spouse, who will both refuse to believe that the expenditure falls under running costs of a vehicle (are you driving a Veyron, for goodness sake?) A trick that I have seen some people use is to remove the DPF altogether, but if you opt for this, you had also better have knowledge on how to map a vehicles ECU because the car will not re up when the DPF is absent. Reprogramming allows the ECU to overlook the missing DPF, or the new programme simply omits the DPF code, so as far as the ECU is concerned, the engine was built without a DPF. One way to avoid problems is to avoid town-based stop-start driving. This does not create enough heat for passive regeneration (where the heat of the exhaust is used to heat up the DPF to burn o the soot), so instead active regeneration is applied, which is what I described (the DPF sensor tells the ECU to burn more fuel). It is self-defeating in a way that burning more fuel to de-clog the DPF results in more clogging. Also, regeneration as soon as the warning light comes on will save you replacement bills (but this will still happen often). The third option is to remove the DPF. If you go for this, I know of one Amit Pandya, from AMS Chip Tuning & Performance Centre, who knows how to sucker ECUs into doing his will. (Note: This is illegal in countries where emissions are taken very seriously). Baraza, I like your informative columns. I bought a Toyota Fielder six months ago. Whenever I start the car it behaves alright but upon accelerating, the engine light ickers on and I always notice gear(s) above Number Three do not engage. This makes the rev counter stretch towards the right and by the time I hit 120kph the rev counter is beyond four. When I drive for long distances the Check Engine light goes o, then the gears engage smoothly and the revs fall to between 2000rpm and 3000rpm, depending on the speed. I have changed the engine oil and the ATF and also ensured that the right quantities are maintained, but the problem persists. Diagnosis on two occasions has indicated revolution sensor failure. In the rst instance, the mechanic said the entire gear box needed to be be changed but since I did not have the money I went to the second one, who suggested that I change the reported sensors, but the problem persists. I would like to know the following: 1: Must I change the entire gear box, as suggested by the rst mechanic, or can the failing gear(s) be repaired? 2: How many gears does my car a 1500cc Fielder, 2004 model have. Are

The Euro IV recommendation for the amount of sulphur in diesel. Anything more than that would compromise engine life, which explains why a number of the new diesel engines develop problems after using the low-quality, locally available fuel. Most commonrails fail after doing about 50,000 kilometres in Kenya.

they four or ve so that I can know how many after the third are failing? 3: Why does the engine light sometimes disappear and gear(s) engage normally? Could it be a wiring problem? Thanks, Very Disturbed. Hello Mr Very Disturbed, Here are the answers I could come up with for your quandary: 1: I do not think replacing the entire gearbox is necessary. Sensor failures are best cured by sensor replacements. Also, I nd it unlikely that individual gears within the gearbox may be ruined. Yours sounds strictly like a sensor problem. Sensor replacement SHOULD cure the problem, although in your case I strongly suspect the sensor replacement may not have been done properly. Then again, the problem could be in the wiring: there might be a loose connection somewhere, or a circuit board has been jarred free of its connections, hence the new sensor not making a dierence. Electronic problems can be a real headache sometimes. If this is the case, then believe me; a new gearbox will not help either. 2. The OEM automatic gearbox in a 2004 Toyota Corolla Fielder 1.5 has four speeds. 3. Yes, as I mentioned in Point 1 above. Now, what you have to do is get a more enterprising mechanic who is not afraid to think outside the box. He will go through the entire electrical path until the problem is found: and more likely than not this will solve the problem. Hopefully you will stop being Mr Very Disturbed and become Mr Very Relieved.

Dear Baraza, I am very curious about the Toyota Vanguard. I have seen a few around and I would like to know the dierence between it and the RAV4 because they look so similar. Thanks, Muya Actually, you are right: it is the same car, it is just that one is slightly longer than the other. Since the Generation 3 RAV4 came out in 2006, Toyota has been building the vehicle in two wheelbase congurations. The smaller cars went to Europe and Japan. The US and Australia got the lengthy version. Japan also got the longer vehicle, but to keep it apart (and away) from the RAV4, they called it the Vanguard. Hi Baraza, Thanks for your informative column. I drive a VW Passat 2003 model (1800cc) imported from the UK. It has been a smooth ride since I imported it two years ago. However, lately, I have had issues with the transmission system. When the engine is cold, I have no problem engaging Drive. However, when in trac and change from Neutral to Drive, I experience a severe jerk which started out slowly but is now quite noticeable. Computerised diagnosis turned negative results, while my mechanic recommended that we top up on the ATF, which we did with the recommended type from CMC. Sadly the problem persists. My mechanic now says we should replace the current ATF, but I am wary of this, considering the exorbitant cost. Another mechanic reckons that my engines revs are rather high and that

Fuel-bound sulphur is also the enemy of the environment. During combustion, this sulphur creates soot and particles, among other things, and this is where a device called the DPF comes into the picture. DPF in full is diesel particulate lter. When the soot and particles (particulate matter) are formed after combustion, in the interests of emissions control, the DPF traps them as they try to leave with the exhaust gases. Accumulation of these particles in the DPF results in a slow clogging process that increases the exhaust back pressure. There is a sensor for this back pressure that informs the ECU to increase fuel delivery via the injectors so as to create a heat build-up just ahead of the DPF and thus burn o these particles. It is a circle of life, so to speak, and it happens so fast you will not notice it in a process called regeneration. All new age diesel engines (of late CRD common rail diesel has been the fad, rather than DI direct injection) are required to have this device to control emissions. The push for low-sulphur diesel also caters for those old engines that have no DPF and are yet to be grounded. The Euro IV standard is 50ppm diesel. Euro V calls for 10ppm or less, enforced in 2009. Naturally, every quick-thinking

Do you drive a Volkswagen Touareg? Beware. Local agents refused to stock diesel Touaregs due to a potential mismatch between our local diesel quality and the VW common-rail engine. But that caution is not just for VW drivers. Any common-rail engine needs utmost care on these shores.

modern diesel engines?

despite advising me to start using Shell oil and checking the cooling fans. What do you think could be the problem? S N Mwangi. What type of engine does that DX 103 have? Because I suspect you are using the term muscle car very loosely here. Either loosely or with sarcasm, in which case I salute your literary skills. What I do not salute is the problemsolving approach you and your engine gurus have. Either there is something you are not telling me or your engine gurus must deal with some other engines, not the internal combustion versions. I do not see why, when your car has an oil leak appearing on the engine block, you check the cooling fans and replace the oil. What gives? You have not even said that you tried to nd the leak; from your description it sounds like you were trying to solve a cooling problem and upgrading your brand of oil. Check for a leak (obviously). These are the common causes on how one could nd oil on an engine block as a result of a leak: Bad or worn out gaskets (valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket). Oil plug (drain plug) not secured properly. Oil plug worn or damaged. Oil lter not attached correctly or missing gasket. High oil pressure (a problem in itself). Oil coolant line corroded or leaking rear seal. This one is dicult and expensive. There is an oil seal at the rear of your engine near the transmission. Typically it is dicult to see this one but you will know if you have a leak due to lots of blue smoke coming from the underside of the car at the rear of the engine. If you have this problem, bring it to a mechanic as the engine will have to be removed to replace the seal. Hi Baraza, I am currently in Australia and will soon come back home after studies. I really love Land Rover vehicles, and a friend in the UK has agreed to help buy one and ship it to Kenya for me. The Freelanders are a cheaper, but another friend tells me these cars are very problematic but does not give me the specic issue with the engines. The Freelander V6i ES model has an engine capacity of 2,497cc, the Freelander Kalahari S/W 1,796cc, and the Freelander XEI S-Wagon 1,796cc. I need a car that is fuel-ecient and can last for many years. Does a lower engine capacity mean better fuel eciency? What is the dierence between the Freelander diesel engine and the petrol one? Thanks, Alex. Generally, yes, smaller engines burn less fuel... disregarding issues like forced induction and heavy bodies. The dierence between the Freelander petrol and diesel engines is that, well, one uses petrol and the other diesel. Also, some diesel engines are limited to 2.0-litre capacities only while petrols have varying capacities and cylinder counts (from 1.8 to 3.2 and 4-6 cylinders). However, as of January this year, the Freelander 2 now has TWO diesel engine options: 2.0 and 2.2, and the V6 petrol 3.2 has been done away with. Instead, you can get a turbo 2.0 petrol with only four cylinders. Having car trouble? Send your questions to dn2@ke.nationmedia.com for absolutely free expert advice.

this is what causes the jerking when the engine is fully warmed up. Any idea how to sort out this nagging problem? I love the car but I am worried that soon it might just stall in the middle of the road... at night! Regards, Je. When the mechanics say the revs are high at idle, how high are we talking about? What rpm? Quite a number of engines have a high idling engine speed when cold-started in a bid to warm up the engine quickly, though this high idle usually drops immediately the gear lever is slid into Drive. However, that fast idle may be connected to the violent drive engagement. The rst steps of diagnosis are usually: 1: Verify that the transmission uid level is correct, which you say you did, but it could be too high and I suggest you also ush the system and put in all-new ATF, just to see if it works. It is not as expensive as having your car coming to a stop in a dangerous neighbourhood at night. 2: Verify that the valve body, throttle valve, and transmission shift linkage are adjusted properly. A slightly open throttle valve will cause the engine to rev up, and the drive engagement will create a shock, which you experience as that thump. However, a more technical approach (when the above has failed) involves the replacement of the transmission valve bodys upper housing separator plate and a valve body check ball. It also involves erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software. These are the steps: 1. Refer to the appropriate year

information on Transmission and Transfer Case removal and installation instructions of the transmission valve body, check ball, upper housing separator plate, and pan gasket. 2. Replace the original rear servo check ball with a new plastic check ball. 3. Clean the new separator plate to remove any dirt or rust inhibitor prior to installation. 4. Instal the new transmission valve body upper housing separator plate. 5. Reassemble the transmission. 6. Instal a new transmission pan gasket. 7. Lower vehicle and instal transmission uid. 8. Verify uid level after warming up the transmission and cycling the shift lever several times. 9. Verify, and if required, adjust the transmission shift linkage and the transmission throttle valve cable per the appropriate service manual procedures. Hi Baraza, I am an avid reader of your column and must commend you for the good work. I own a Subaru Forester, year 2000 turbocharged model. She has been awesome, to say the least, but time has come for me to move on. I have been eyeing one of the following: Basic Outback, 2.5-litre engine (year 2006-7), Outback 3.0R (year 2006-7) and BMW 3series (328i) saloon or estate (year 2006). Given my relationship with the Forester, I am a sucker for power and stability. The upgrade should match this and also oer added comfort (Foresters have had the reputation of squeezed rear leg room). Slight o-roading (village

terrain but not Rhino Charge) is also one of the requirements. What would you advise me to go with, taking into consideration fuel consumption and maintenance? One more thing, any issues to look out for from UK imports? Many thanks, Mugambi. The BMW will tick almost all the boxes until it comes to the village o-road part. Then it bows out. The 3.0R Outback will oer everything, but you will pay at the fuel dealer forecourt. The 2.5 Outbacks performance may not be at the same level as the 328 and the 3.0R, but then again, how fast do you want to go in a bus designed to ferry the children of the wello to grade school in the morning, music classes in the afternoon, and out-of-town horse stables on the weekends? It will also not burn as much Premium Unleaded as the 3.0R. I do not know how much power and stability the turbo Forester gave you (for all I know, it could have been an STi), but you have to make the choice here. The 328 is not even closely related to what you were experiencing. The decision lies between the Outback 2.5 (better economy than the 3.0R) and the 3.0R (runs like hell, but also burns fuel like hell). Choose. Dear Baraza, I currently drive a Kenyan muscle car, the Toyota DX 103. It has been a good car and has been to all the corners of this country, but lately it has developed the habit of leaking engine oil. My engine gurus are yet to crack the problem,

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 Anything that happens quite unexpectedly should be viewed with a good deal of suspicion. If you allow yourself to become excited, you will only be battered by the winds of facts. Therefore keep a low prole for the time being and perhaps utilize your time in making plans for the future. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 The planers are placing emphasis on the need to get closer to those who really count in your life. Furthermore, you may temporary take much more adventurous and possibly longing for warmer climes. This may lead you into booking a holiday in the not too distant future. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 You will need to consider the needs and desires of other people rather than putting yourself rst. Provided that you can do this, you will be storing up a lot of goodwill for the future, when you will perhaps need it most. Dont be too independent. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 Quite why you should be expected to step in and bale others out whether with regard to their practical or emotional values-is not entirely clear. But you will no doubt do all you can to smooth the rather bumpy path probably with the little thanks or recognition. It may be time to say enough is enough. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 No one could blame you for being attracted to the ner things in life, but you might need to make short term sacrices to achieve long term aims. You may also have to go out of your way to prove that your knowledge is in certain areas is both deeper and wider than it seems. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 You will feel like speaking your mind when it comes to cash matters but be wary of leaning to conclusions or going o at a tangent. Luckily the stars today will buck up your imagination and your inspiration should take ight. Dont be carried away though. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 Although it seems the validity of a close relationship is in question, you must realize how important it is not to sever ties altogether. With the current planetary setup you should be inspired to dig deep to the root of the problem, and put matters right as soon as you probably can. VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 The stars will be ooding you with solar power, condence and a general feeling of well being. Its an ideal day for tackling anything important in any area that you choose so dont hold back. Travel matters and paperwork seem to be unusually prominent. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 All the criticism in the world couldnt stop you pursuing your chosen ambition. And any day now you should see proof of how well your ideas have been accepted. Apart from the prestige gains and the nancial benets you will also have the right to say I told you so. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 You would be feeling a little bit cranky, or perhaps be acting completely out of character. Spontaneity seems to be the word that is important to you during the particular day, so dont be surprised if you are surrounded by confused and puzzled faces. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 Fight o a desire to keep yourself to yourself, and catch up with those to not only robbed you of precious time, but also made you unable to be an attentive and caring friend. Make amends before it is late. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 Despite being hard pushed to complete certain tasks with a tight deadline, you are still expected to take on more. At times like this you must nd the courage to point out that you are really overstretched.

But as soon as the beads were exposed to sunlight, they started melting. They melted quickly and formed a crystal ball. She was so shocked that she let it drop on the ground but it didnt break. When she got the courage to pick it up, she studied it, as it went on changing its shape, becoming thinner and flatter. Finally it changed into a small, round mirror. Oh my God, it has turned into a mirror! she cried. She looked at her ugly face in the mirror and prayed to God to remove that ugliness from her face. She hid the mirror somewhere where the sisters would not find it. She did not think much about the mirror for that day. When she looked at herself in the mirror the next morning, she was surprised that some of her

blemishes had cleared. How come! she wondered loudly. My face is clearing. I cant believe it! She thought it must be the magic mirror which was restoring her beauty. She found it difficult to stop looking at her face in the mirror. The more she looked at herself in the mirror, the better her face became. After a few days, the Malombe family noticed that Salaas face had changed. Her mother called her and asked, Salaa, whats happening to your face?
