God has never abandoned Kenya, says Uhuru
Ruto shows his comical side
MPs kept off the prayer breakfast save
for Kitui Senator David Musila, who
was part of the organising team.
Yesterday, former US Ambassador
to Kenya Scott Gration described Ke-
nya as the new front door for Africa.
Gration who was the guest speaker at
the ceremony maintained that terror-
ism is a global phenomenon, saying
this is not the time for tourists to leave
Kenya.
Kenya has so much potential. Its
a beautiful country with breath-tak-
ing landscape, he said.

President Uhuru Kenyatta rallied
the nation to overcome ills that led to
ethnic discord during the second na-
tional prayer breakfast under the Ju-
bilee Government.
The President and his deputy Wil-
liam Ruto led leaders from various
sectors in seeking divine intervention
at a time the country is facing serious
challenges, including terror attacks,
unemployment, high cost of living,
hate-speech and corruption.
Speaking during the Kenya Na-
tional Prayer Breakfast at a Nairobi
hotel yesterday, Uhuru said these vic-
es are deterrents to the nations pros-
perity and cautioned leaders against
hypocrisy.
Lets see all of us preach against
tribalism. Lets see an end to negative
ethnicity. Lets see an end to hate
speech, the President emphasised,
clearly depicting his worry over the
trend that has reached apogee on so-
cial media. President Kenyatta main-
tained that God has never abandoned
Kenya.
The plea by the Head of State
comes amid political tension within
his ruling Jubilee alliance caused by
protests over the sharing of top pub-
lic jobs, especially the transfer of Kip-
limo Rugut from the helm of the Na-
tional Youth Service.
Let it not be that we stand here,
say great things but what we read and
hear coming from the same leader-
ship in our dailies, radio stations and
in public rallies goes completely con-
trary to what we have preached here,
said Uhuru.
If only half of the people in this
room took up the messages given to
us today, this country would change
within a year.
NEGATIVE ETHNICITY
Ruto said they will not allow cor-
ruption, mismanagement and tribal-
ism in Government to ourish in their
reign. The DP insisted that those
charged with the responsibility of
serving in Government must do so
with fairness and equity.
There is a road we have travelled,
a slippery, treacherous road of hate,
negative ethnicity, mismanagement
and corruption. That road leads to di-
visions, anarchy and backwardness,
he said.
He added: We committed our-
selves that we will never travel that
road again and we will not.
He said the opposition must exer-
cise responsible leadership for the
sake of the country.
The disapproval of the Jubilee Gov-
ernment by the Opposition is expect-
ed to heighten at tomorrows Uhuru
Park rally, following the return of
CORD leader Raila Odinga from the
US. Some Jubilee leaders have already
urged the Inspector General of Police
David Kimaiyo to monitor the oppo-
sition for hate speech.

Yesterdays Kenya National Prayer
Breakfast was punctuated with laugh-
ter and light moments as the coun-
trys top leadership, ery politicians
and ordinary Kenyans humbled them-
selves before God.
Deputy President William Ruto left
everybody in stiches as he announced
that his boss, President Uhuru Ke-
nyatta had agreed to hum one of his
Sunday school best to the congrega-
tion.
As I sat with these people around
there, (pointing the table he was shar-
ing with Uhuru and First Lady Mar-
gret Kenyatta) I asked whether any of
them had not gone to Sunday school
and everybody said they went. So I
asked the President whether he can
sing a song which he learnt in Sunday
school and he promised that he will,
said Ruto.
So Mr President, you know we
agreed, come with your song, he con-
cluded.
But Uhuru, who readily agreed to
sing the famed Blessed assurance, Je-
sus is mine to everybodys amaze-
ment, jokingly remarked that he was
considering skipping the event next
year.
This man, Uhuru said, laughing
and pointing at Ruto.
At the same event last year, Ruto
caused mirth as he narrated how
Chief of Defence Forces General Julius
Karangi objected to their kneeling
down for prayers at their inaugura-
tion. He said Karangi told him there
was no way the Commander in Chief
of the Defence Forces was going to
kneel down when the soldiers were
standing.
NOT AMUSED
But we agreed with the President
to ignore him and tell the pastor to
announce that we would kneel down
for prayers. When that time came, I
saw his eyes (Karangi) and he was not
amused, said Ruto.
Yesterday, Kiminini MP Chris Wa-
malwa also left the audience laughing
as he read Proverbs 25:6-7, cautioning
people against exalting themselves
before the King.

Obama describes
Maya Angelou as
one of the brightest
lights of our time as
world mourns the
legend
US poet who proved that no
heights are too high to climb
By GEORGE ORIDO
She was born when racism
was more virulent in America
than tribalism is or has ever
been in Kenya. She was raped
as a child. At 17, she was a
mother. Later she worked as a
nightclub dancer and even a
prostitute.
Her lifes trajectory and
destiny, like many other people
who are born in poverty, it
seemed, was doomed. But
Maya Angelou would let
nothing to tether her to the
ground. She proceeded to
become a leading poet, author,
actress, director, playwright,
composer, singer, dancer and a
prominent gure in Americas
civil rights movement.
When the unforgiving hand
of death came for her soul last
Wednesday at home in
Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, it could not silence
the voice of the powerful
woman who will forever be
remembered for her contribu-
tion to the world of literature.
At Kenyatta University,
literature students received the
news of her death while being
taken through Phenomenal
Woman, one of her poems, by
their teacher, Dr Solomon
Waliaula.
When I planned for African
American Literature class, little
did I know I was going to teach
her work for the rst time
when she is gone, said
Waliaula who reckons that
Mayas work of seven autobiog-
raphies, three books of essays,
and several books of poetry
were and remain classics.
Maya was born Marguerite
Johnson 86 years ago in St
Louis Missouri, USA. She later
changed her name to Maya
Angelou. She credited her
brother for the name Maya and
her second name to her rst
husband.
So mighty was Mayas pen,
that in January 1993, US
President Bill Clinton invited
her to write and recite a poem
during his inauguration. She
aptly called the poem the
Pulse of Morning.
The dinosaur, who left
dried tokens of their sojourn
here on our planet oor, any
broad alarm of their hastening
doom is lost in the gloom of
dust and ages. But today, the
Rock cries out to us, clearly,
forcefully, Come, you may
stand upon my back and
face your dis- tant
destiny, reads the
poem which
persuasively
urges people
of different
origins to unite
and embrace one
another for a
better future.
After reading this
poem she shot to
instant fame, and her
works; I Know Why the
Caged Bird Sings, Gather
Together in My Name, The
Heart of a woman, And still I
Rise, I Shall Not Be Moved,
Singing & Swinging and
Getting Merry Like Christmas
as well as Oh Pray My Wings
Are Gonna Fit Me well became
New York Bestsellers.
The recording of her poem
won a Grammy award.
In 2010, President Barrack
Obama, who on Wednesday
termed Maya as one of
the brightest lights of
our time, bestowed
upon her, the Presiden-
tial Medal of Freedom,
the highest civilian
honour in the US.
As the President tied
the medal around her
neck Maya broke
into tears and
the former
respond-
ed
with a
brotherly kiss on
her cheeks.
Her poem And
Still I Rise about
the plight of a
wa Thiongo, Dr Opiyo
Mumma, John Rubadiri and
Okot PBtek.
Kimingich praises Mayas
poetry for its rich rhythm and
rhyme and reckons that they
are easy to dramatise on stage,
attributing this to Mayas
earlier profession as a dancer.
But her autobiographies are
unparalleled when it comes to
stark honesty and openness
a factor that makes her
stories consummate in every
way. Through her books,
readers have learned how she
was raped by her mothers
boyfriend, her homelessness
and her parents divorce when
she was only four and her elder
brother Bailey Jnr, six.
At some point, Maya
worked as a prostitute, a night
club dancer and singer.
It is this brutal honesty
that makes her contribution to
African American Literature so
embedding. Her passion for
writing has made her our
author of choice for a long
time, says Prof Henry
Indagasi, a former chair at Uni-
versity of Nairobis Literature
Department.
She worked in South Africa,
Egypt and Ghana as an editor
and a journalist where she met
Malcolm X in the early 1960s
and joined him to form the
Organisation of Afro-American
Unity. After Malcolm was killed
through an asssassins bullet,
Maya joined the father of
Americas civil rights move-
ment Martin Luther King Jnr in
his work.
Her contribution to social
change can only be compared
to such greats as Rosa Parks
the woman who refused to
s ur- render her bus seat
to a white passenger
at the height of
racism in
America and
here at home to
Nobel Laureate
Wangari Maathai.

By JAMES MBAKA
The return of CORD leader Raila
Odinga tomorrow after a two-month
break from Kenya has added energy
to old political rivalries and redirected
national attention to the Opposition
and what it may have up its sleeves.
Going by the speeches ercely
critical of President Uhuru Kenyatta
and his deputy William Ruto made
at the Coalition for Reforms and De-
mocracy (CORD) rally in Kibra, Nai-
robi two weeks ago, it appears Raila
and his coalition have found a new
front to engage Jubilee.
The issues expected to take centre-
stage at Railas welcome rally to-
morrow include the controversial
authority the President gave Treasury
to pay Mr Anura Perera Sh1.4 billion
for projects clustered under what has
come to be referred to as Anglo-
Leasing-type contracts.
The other issues are the high cost
of living, the unsustainable public
wage bill and wastefulness and State
extravagance as well as the crushing
burden terrorism has exerted on Ke-
nyans and the economically crucial
tourism sector. Claims of high-level
corruption and tribalism in public
appointments are also expected to
come to the fore.
If Raila chooses to pick up the
ght with Uhuru and Ruto from
where he left after last years elec-
tions, which he disputes gave Uhuru
a round-one win, there could be a
dramatic switch in the tempo of poli-
tics in the country.
The controversy stirred by the
rally among Railas supporters stems
from the fact that this week Inspector
General of Police David Kimaiyo,
emerging from a high-level security
meeting chaired by one of the Presi-
dents top aides, announced the rally
initially set for the Kenyatta Interna-
tional Convention Centre but later
moved to Uhuru Park was banned for
security reasons.
DIVERTING ATTENTION
The situation had further been
compounded by the Jubilee point-
man in the National Assembly, Mr
Aden Duale, that Jubilee too would
hold its own rally, which was seen as
an attempt to divert attention from
CORDs.
Yesterday, CORD leaders ratcheted
up the pressure on Jubilee with a dec-
laration that the country faces a
leadership crisis and the proclama-
tion that Railas return would reignite
stalled transformation.
CORD claims tribal appointments,
insecurity, high cost of living, unem-
ployment and corruption have be-
come entrenched under Jubilees
watch. But MPs from the ruling coali-
tion have accused the Opposition of
attempting to fan civil unrest to grab
power through unconstitutional
means.
Those entrusted with the leader-
ship of the Opposition must do so
with responsibility knowing very well
that we are doing it for our country,
Ruto said at the national prayer
breakfast in Nairobi.
There is a road we have travelled;
a slippery, treacherous road of hate,
negative ethnicity, mismanagement
and corruption. That road leads to
divisions, anarchy and backward-
ness, Ruto warned, adding, We
committed ourselves that we will
never travel that road again and we
will not.
President Uhuru said leaders
should desist from fuelling ethnic
hatred. Let it not be that we stand
here, say great things but what we
read and hear coming from the same
leadership in our dailies, radio sta-
tions and in public rallies goes con-
trary to what we have preached here,
he went on.
The Jubilee leaders are grappling
with internal rebellion after more
than 100 MPs signed a petition to
press for the removal of Devolution
Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.
President Uhuru is scheduled to
meet Jubilee MPs on Tuesday ahead
of Parliaments reopening.
Again yesterday, CORD leaders
said plans were complete to accord
Raila a grand reception.
OPPOSITION
Raila, who ew to the United Arab
Emirates on Wednesday from Boston,
US, will jet in tomorrow morning.
The former premier is expected at
the Jomo Kenyatta International Air-
port (JKIA) at 2.30pm.
CORD co-principals Kalonzo
Musyoka and Bungoma Senator Mo-
ses Wetangula will lead governors
and MPs allied to the Opposition to
receive Raila.
Raila and the CORD team then
will hold a media brieng at the air-
ports VIP lounge. Railas convoy will
head to Nairobis Uhuru Park grounds
where he will address a rally, expected
to be broadcast live on television.
After the rally, an invite-only din-
ner reception for the former PM at a
ve-star Nairobi hotel is slated later
in the evening.
Former deputy speaker Farah
Maalim, who is the chair of a commit-
tee formed to spearhead the prepara-
tions for Railas reception, urged po-
lice to guarantee the rally adequate
security.
We will give our party leader the
most betting welcome both at the
JKIA and after the Uhuru Park rally,
including a dinner organised in his
honour at a hotel in the city, Maalim
told The Standard.
Siaya Senator James Orengo said
CORD would use the rally to pres-
surise Jubilee Government to deliver
on key election promises.
There is a leadership crisis and
we feel the Government has lost le-
gitimacy and the credibility to deal
with insecurity, corruption, Devolu-
tion, constitutional implementation
and national unity, Orengo said.
Suna East MP Junet Mohammed
said Opposition leaders will address
pressing national issues which he
blamed on the countrys failed gov-
ernance.
We want to urge our supporters
to come out in large numbers and
behave in a manner that will show the
country that we are a responsible Op-
position that is the government-in-
waiting, said Mohammed.
Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba
said: From Caesar to Mandela, his-
tory is littered with tales of great lead-
ers who have returned from epochal
sojourns to light res that have ig-
nited great historic moments.
Ababu went on: The return of
Raila may just be the spark Kenya
needs to reignite our stalled transfor-
mation. This might be Kenyas take-
off moment to our long delayed na-
tional renaissance.
Junet: Leaders will ad-
dress pressing issues
Orengo: Rally to compel
Jubilee to deliver
Maalim: Urged police to
guarantee security
Namwamba: Said rally is
open to all Kenyans

Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi
has vowed to push on with his planned
censure Motion against Devolution
Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.
Linturi, who is away in the Vatican,
vowed to press on with the Motion in
spite of last weekends statement by
Deputy President William Ruto that
he and the President were responsible
for transferring Kiplimo Rugut from
the National Youth Service and ap-
pointing Nelson Githinji to replace
him.
This came even as a lunchtime
meeting between President Uhuru
Kenyatta and his political troops, to
discuss among others things the im-
pending impeachment, was post-
poned for a second time yesterday.
The outspoken MP said he would
organise a dinner on Monday evening
for all the 172 MPs who signed the pe-
tition to take roll call and agree on a
common position before meeting Uh-
uru the next day.
I am not backing down; this is
baptism by re and thats why I am in
the Vatican to pray for the country. In
fact, we will have a dinner at a venue
yet to be decided to agree on a com-
mon position, he told The Standard
by telephone.
Although it is expected that the
President may prevail on MPs from
his coalition to withdraw their sup-
port for the petition, the rebrand MP
thinks otherwise.

The State is pressing three charges
against a senior civil servant in Lamu
arrested for allegedly insulting Presi-
dent Uhuru Kenyatta during a heated
debate.
According to court documents
seen by The Standard, the trial will
take place at the Mpeketoni Law
Courts next month.
The documents show that Lamu
Ecosystem Conservator Donald Avude
committed the alleged crimes on April
9 during a debate between revellers in
a popular bar in Mpeketoni.
He is out on bond and is to appear
in court on June 4 for the mention of
the case during which a date for the
start of the trial will be set.
According to the documents, the
State now claims Avude resisted ar-
rest.
Besides the charge of resisting ar-
rest, the State will also press charges
of offensive conduct, and creating
disturbance, after Avude allegedly
accused some people he was arguing
with of blind loyalty to the President.
According to local police framing
the charges, the civil servant uttered
words highly critical of and offensive
to Uhuru, which were recorded by a
National Intelligence Service ofcial
who forwarded the recording to the
Criminal Investigations Department.
Avudes mobile phone has been
switched off for days and he has been
suspended from the Forestry depart-
ment.
Yesterday, the Kenya Forest Service
declined to release any details regard-
ing Avude.
On Wednesday, Lamu County Po-
lice Commander Leonard Omolo con-
rmed Avudes arrest but did not dis-
close the charges facing him.
Civil servant
charged over
Uhuru slur
did so of their own volition and if the
President tries to compel anyone to
withdraw, then that will be dictator-
ship and an attempt to return the
country to the dark old days where
people could not express themselves
freely, he said.
Uhuru was set to meet Jubilee MPs
mainly from his TNA party but the
meeting was called off at the last min-
ute to give legislators time to attend
the requiem mass for Gatundu South
MP Joseph Nyumu.
Earlier, majority of the MPs had
joined the President at Safari Park Ho-
tel for this years National Prayer
Breakfast. They were expected to go to
State House thereafter for the meet-
ing.
Due to time constraints, the
meeting has been pushed to Tuesday
next week, nominated MP Amina Ab-
dalla said.
SILENT PROTEST
She added that since most MPs
had attended the prayer breakfast,
which ended at around 11am, and
given the requiem mass, it was agreed
to call off all parliamentary commit-
tee meetings. Uhuru also attended Mr
Munyus requiem mass.
Most MPs are concerned that the
plot by Linturi, himself a TNA mem-
ber, may paint the Government as di-
vided. Many want Uhuru to speak on
the matter.
The fact that most MPs have
come out to sign the petition is an in-
dicator of something wrong up there
and thats why we need to meet him
(Uhuru) to address the issues, a TNA
MP said, adding: The Motion may
not succeed but from the murmurs
you can tell there is a silent protest
from within.
A previous meeting between the
President and Mt Kenya region MPs
raised eyebrows in Jubilee, with some
legislators criticising the move to host
their colleagues from one region. This
informed the decision to expand it to
accommodate all TNA MPs.
Roadside snack

raiders on Wednesday. [PHOTO: PETER OCHIENG/STANDARD]

A dawn raid on a border vil-
lage in Wajir County left at least
12 people dead and several
houses torched on Thursday
morning as retaliatory attacks
between two rival Somali clans
escalated.
Suspected Garre militia al-
legedly attacked Gunan, a De-
godia village in Tarbaj constitu-
ency. The militia are believed
to have been on a mission to
avenge the deaths of 10 Garre
people. They were allegedly
killed by Degodia bandits in
Takaba Sub-county, Mandera,
recently.
Wajir police boss David
Kuria said the people were
killed after heavily armed gun-
men descended on the village
at 7am.

But I can conrm that 12 peo-

to the area, adding that Ad-
ministration Police ofcers,
stationed in the border village,
repulsed the attackers.
We suspect the attack was
revenge for Wednesdays attack
in Takaba by suspected Dego-
dia gunmen in Mandera
County, where people were
killed and some animals, in-
cluding camels, sheep and
goats, were also killed, he
said.
Wajir Governor Ahmed Ab-

A woman has given birth to
Siamese twins, also known as
conjoined twins, at Webuye
District Hospital.
The girls are joined from
the chest down and weigh 6kg.
Christine Sitawa, a mother of
four, was in stable condition
when The Standard visited her
at her hospital bed.
I was expecting my fth
child but I am surprised that I
have given birth to conjoined
twins, she said.
Christine, who delivered
through Caesarean section,
said she was surprised at the
turn of events as she had never
used any family planning
drugs, which she believes can
cause a birth like this one.
I understand the condition
can be caused by drugs but I
have never used family plan-
ning drugs and have never
seen anything like this before,
she said.
UNUSUAL BIRTH
Brigid Walucho, the hospi-
tals nursing ofcer, said the
babies shared a placenta and
revealed that the unusual birth
had never happened at the
hospital before.
Ms Walucho said when the
mother was admitted, they
expected her to give birth to
twins but not conjoined ones.
The condition is known as
congenital malformation. The
condition happens when a
fertilised egg fails to separate
during formulation, Walucho
explained.
She said the babies shared
a heart and intestines, adding
that while they can be sepa-
rated, one may have to be
sacriced.
The hospitals management
disclosed that the twins would
be own to Kenyatta National
Hospital in Nairobi for treat-
ment.

the number of those killed in
the raid could be more, adding
that some of the bodies were
burned beyond recognition.
The attackers, who were
very many according to eye
witnesses, used highly sophis-
ticated rearms to attack the
village from all corners, he
said in Wajir town.
Kuria said the area was
tense but he has urged Man-
dera county security ofcials
to send reinforcements. He
said ending the senseless inter-
clan bloodshed remained their
biggest challenge.
WARRING CLANS
The latest killings come as
security agencies in Wajir and
Mandera counties expressed
concern over the increased
inltration of rearms as the
two warring clans armed
themselves to the teeth.
He said police in Wajir have
nabbed two gunrunners and
recovered 660 bullets and 23
magazines, shortly after the
arsenal was sneaked into the
country from neigbouring So-
malia. The smugglers were in-
tercepted at the Diff border

REDUCE MATERNAL, INFANT AND CHILD MORTALITY!
Hear Me Out. Act Now
Did you know that in Kenya, there are 488 maternal deaths out of100,000 live births?
Did you know that 74 children out of 1000 born in Kenya will not live to see their fth birthday?
More government effort is required to increase funding, human resources, enabling infrastructure,
improvements in quality and timely services and holding government and private institutions accountable for
delivering on their mandate.
Did you also know that you can help reduce these numbers by using public health facilities?
Maternity services are free
Attend your Ante Natal Clinics starting within the rst 3 months of pregnancy. Male partners of pregnant
women should accompany them to the clinic.
Ensure your baby is delivered in a health facility.
Attend your Post-Natal Clinic beginning the rst 6 weeks after delivery.
Immunization is free and you should ensure that your baby is immunized against:
Tuberculosis, Polio, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Measles, Pneumonia, Hepatitis B and Haemophilus Inuenza
type B.
Breast milk is known to provide your baby with immunity against childhood diseases.
Exclusively breastfeed your baby for the rst six months of their lives.
Pregnant women and children under 5
should sleep under a treated mosquito
net to reduce complications from malaria
during pregnancy and reduce incidences of
malaria and preventable deaths to pregnant
mothers, newborns and children.
Diarrheal diseases are one of the major
causes of infant and child mortality:
Wash your hands with soap and water
after visiting the toilet, changing nappies
and diapers, before cooking and before
eating, ensure your drinking water is
boiled or treated, ensure the utensils of
children under 5 years are washed,boiled
in clean water and stored in a clean

UN honours soldiers on peacekeeping
missions during global ceremony
By SOPHIAH MUTHONI
and KAMAU MUTHONI
Over the last three decades,
Kenya has sent more than
30,000 ofcers to support UN
peacekeeping missions in dif-
ferent parts of the world.
These men and women who
have served and continue to
serve in peace operations were
yesterday celebrated during
the International Day of UN
Peacekeepers.
The ceremony held at the
UN ofces in Nairobi as well as
other parts of the world cele-
brated the men and women as
well as honoured the memory
of UN peacekeepers who have
lost their lives in the line of du-
ty.
FALLEN SOLDIERS
In his speech read by Major
General Samuel Nandwa, Chief
of the Kenya Defence Forces
(KDF) General Julius Karangi
said he appreciated the UNs
recognition of the peacekeep-
ing efforts of the forces.
He pointed out: To be a
peacekeeper, there is a sacrice
the soldier has to make on be-
half of the international com-
munity. Over the three decades,
KDF has lost a total of 32 mili-

Lift GMO ban for food security, State told
By RAWLINGS OTIENO
Governors have backed scientists
and lobbied the biotechnology task
force to present its ndings to enable
Government lift the ban on Genetical-
ly Modied Organisms (GMOs).
The ban on GMOs, if not reversed
soon, will hurt Kenyas economy and
further worsen food insecurity, gover-
nors and scientists have warned.
Council of Governors chairman for
Health and Biotechnology Jack Rang-
uma said Kenya continues to lose bil-
lions of shillings because of the ban
on the importation of GMOs.
HIGHER LIFESPAN
Ranguma warned that investors
shunned the country and moved their
plants elsewhere following the ban.
This ban on GMOs was rushed
and not based on facts. Forming the
task force was a waste of time as there
is nothing wrong with the products.
Growing economies are using the bio-
technology and their lifespans are far
above ours, said Mr Ranguma.
The call comes in the wake of in-
creased use of biotechnology in most
growing economies in products like
maize, sorghum, cassava and most re-

growing population, the world will
not be able to feed its people, he
said.
The governor also said biotech
crops contribute to food security and
sustainability by increasing produc-
tion and providing a better environ-
ment because the use of pesticides is
minimal.

The Kenya Police Service
also attended the colourful
event. Speaking at the same
event, Ambassador Muburi
Muita, on behalf of the Cabinet
Secretary for Foreign Affairs
Amina Mohammed, said Ke-
nya was committed to contin-
ue supporting the UN in peace-
keeping.
We stand in solidarity with
the families of those who have
lost loved ones in this noble
cause. As we reect on the real
dangers peacekeepers face, we
appreciate and salute the fall-
en soldiers, she said.

vice on UN missions.

Addressing a stakeholders meet-
ing in Nairobi yesterday, Ranguma
said there was need to commercialise
biotechnology cotton especially in
dry areas like Kisumu, Kwale, Kili,
Baringo, Homa Bay and Siaya coun-
ties to create job opportunities.
Ranguma, who is also the Kisumu
governor, regretted that the task force
report had taken so long to come out
but warned that the nal report to be
released soon must be guided by ver-
iable facts and authentic research
done on the use of biotechnology.
The use of biotechnology is
worlddwide and we are staring at the
prospecting of starving this genera-
Ogoyi however claried that so far no
organisation or farmer had been
cleared to commercialise biotech
crops.
Prof Ogoyi said the objective and
purpose for which the authority was
established was to regulate research
and commercial activities involving
GMOs with a view to ensuring safety
of human and animal health and pro-
vision of an adequate level of protec-
tion of the environment.
He said the authority had estab-
lished a transparent science-based
and predictable process to guide deci-
sion making on applications for ap-
proval of research and commercial ac-
tivities involving GMOs.
The authority is mandated to reg-
ulate research and commercial activi-
ties and I want to tell the public that
so far we have not received applica-
tion to commercialise GMOs, includ-
ing cotton, said Ogoyi.
POVERTY ALLEVIATION
Kenya Agricultural Research Insti-
tute Thika Director Charles Waturu
said slapping a ban on the use of bio-
technology was hurting the produc-
tion of various crops.
Anybody banning the use of bio-
technology is creating poverty and in-
creasing hunger. The use of biotech-
nology has more benets and, if
adopted, will contribute to poverty al-
leviation, said Dr Waturu, adding that
India was leading in biotech cotton.
He said statistics showed that glob-
ally, 79 per cent of soybean is geneti-
cally modied, while maize accounts
for 32 per cent and cotton 70 per
cent.

Three politicians from Narok have
moved to court to stop a private com-
pany from collecting revenue at the
Masai Mara Game Reserve on behalf
of the Narok County government.
Former Cabinet Minister William
ole Ntimama, Ledama ole Kina and
Joseph ole Karai have sued Narok
Governor and Kenya Airports Parking
Services (Kaps) Limited, which has
been contracted to collect revenue.
The three accuse the governor of
ordering that revenue from the game
reserve be directed to Kaps limited
without involving the public in his de-
cision.
The politicians claim that as a re-
sult of the decision, 300 revenue col-
lection ofcers were sacked and 250
others risk losing their jobs.
The petitioners say they have been
unable to obtain information on the
contract from the county government
despite making several requests.
They want the court to order the
governor and the county government
to release all the information con-
cerning the deal entered between the
Governor sued over Mara fee collection
Narok politicians want
deal cancelled and for
the county government
to explain how Kaps
got the contract
two parties.
The politicians also want the court
to stop further implementation of all
the contractual arrangements be-
tween Narok county government and
Kaps Ltd pending the hearing and de-
termination of the case.
The petitioners further claim that
the residents of Narok and the Coun-
ty Assembly of Narok was not consult-
ed before the decision to enlist the
services of Kaps Ltd was done.
They argue that the governor is re-
quired by law to set up a county eco-
nomic forum for purposes of deciding
if Kaps qualied to be given the con-
tract.
They contend that the partnership
between Kaps and Narok government
is illegal. High Court Judge George
Odunga certied the case urgent and
directed the petitioners to serve the
respondents and appear for hearing
next Wednesday.
MPS POSITION
Narok North MP Richard Moitalel
ole Kenta has also opposed the deal,
saying Mara revenues amounting to
Sh2 billion annually will mean that
more than Sh400 million will be going
into somebodys pocket.
The legislator says there is no jus-
tication of how the county govern-
ment allowed itself to award the con-
tract to a company charging such
huge amount.
The MP has called on the Senate to
move in. He also wants the county
government ofcials explain and jus-
tify what they did.

A Belgian convicted of deling a
Class Two girl over two years ago has
mysteriously died, six months into his
20-year sentence.
He rose to infamy after he was ar-
rested and convicted for repeatedly
deling an 11-year-old girl.
The case got more publicity after it
emerged that the girls mother sold
her into sex slavery and spent the
money with her lover.
Perniaux Robert, 62, died at the
Coast General Hospital on May 15, a
day to the start of an appeal he had
launched challenging the lengthy jail
term slapped by a Mombasa court on
December 11, last year.
Dejected and abandoned in his
cell at Shimo la Tewa Prison, he re-
portedly tried to plead with the Bel-
gian Embassy in Nairobi to transfer
him to a private hospital or plead with
Kenyan authorities for early release or
be freed on bond.
Stefan Aboge, the French inter-
preter who met him at the prison a
day before he died, said the Belgian
did not want to be admitted to the
prison hospital. Apparently the em-
bassy ignored him because he was a
convict.
He was buried at the Mbaraki
Cemetery in Mombasa, away from his
Kenyan wife, who lives in Belgium.

New bail
rules on the
way for terror
suspects
BY WAHOME THUKU
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga
has set up a committee to prepare
guidelines on how courts should
grant bond and bail to criminal
suspects particularly those ac-
cused of terrorist activities.
This follows accusations that
the Judiciary is frustrating the war
on terrorism by granting bail to
suspects.
But even as he announced this
yesterday, Mutunga warned that
courts would not act on emotions
or shoddy investigation and pros-
ecutions. Investigators and pros-
ecutors must do a thorough and
comprehensive job and present
the facts and evidence before
courts.
Judicial ofcers will not grant
bail or convict on the basis of
emotions, but rather on the basis
of a rigorous presentation of evi-
dence and facts, Mutunga said.
Article 49 of the Constitution
does not use the word compel-
ling for ornamental purposes. It
could have stopped at the rea-
sons, he added.
Article 49 of the Constitution
provides the right to bail for all
criminal suspects unless there are
compelling reasons to deny them.
I hope that the prosecution ser-
vice understands that they have
to do much more to move the
court to grant bail or bond. In-
complete investigations, lazy ap-
proaches to prosecution only lead
to judicial determinations which
will end up frustrating everybody
and the public.
Mutunga was speaking when
he opened a meeting of top secu-
rity ofcials and judges called to
harmonise the war on terror.
The meeting at the Judiciary
Training Institute was a follow up
to another one held between the
Judiciary and security organs on
Monday.

A parliamentary committee has
expressed displeasure with Lands
Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu for
skipping a meeting intended to ad-
dress wrangles over powers between
her and National Land Commission
chairman Mohamed Swazuri.
Members of the parliamentary de-
partmental committee on Land said
Mrs Ngilus absence undermined their
efforts to resolve the stalemate, which
has slowed down land reforms.
Eighteen members of the commit-
tee led by their chairman Alex Mwiru
said they expected Ngilu and chair-
man of the Commission on Imple-
mentation of the Constitution (CIC)
Charles Nyachae to attend so as to ad-
dress the persistent wrangling at the
retreat held at Flamingo beach re-
sort.
Lands Principal Secretary Mariam
El Maawy had a hard time explaining
Ngilus absence as the legislators ac-
cused the Cabinet Secretary of under-
mining the authority of Parliament.
INDISPOSED
Ms Maawy explained that Ngilu
was unwell on Wednesday. To my un-
derstanding, the Cabinet Secretary
was indisposed as at last night
(Wednesday night). That is why she is
not with us, Maawy explained.
Kieni MP Kanini Kega said the
committee may summon Ngilu for
skipping the forum where she and Dr
Swazuri were expected to explain why
they cannot explore their wide man-
dates to implement land reforms in-
cluding addressing historical land in-
justices.
This committee has similar pow-
ers as the High Court and may sum-
mon the Cabinet Secretary to explain
why the wrangles with the commis-
sion cannot come to an end, Kega
said.
Gwasi MP John Mbadi said the
persistent dispute between the Cabi-
net Secretary and the commission is
the big elephant in the room and
must be addressed so that land re-
forms can be implemented.
Mr Mbadi said Kenya was assem-
bling a bomb by delaying land re-
forms even after Kenyans demanded
the formation of NLC.

Amnesty International has fault-
ed the Government on the manner
in which it carried out the Usalama
Watch operation.
The organisation says the opera-
tion is being done in total disregard
of national and international laws.
It further notes that the counter-
terror crackdown was extremely fo-
cused on the Somali community and
in the process violating their human
rights in the name of national secu-
rity.
Thousands of Somalis have been
subjected to arbitrary arrest, harass-
ment, extortion and ill-treatment
since Operation Usalama began in
early April. Over 1,000 individuals
have been forcibly relocated to over-
crowded, insecure refugee camps in
the country, a report released by the
organisation reads in part.
The organisation has called for
investigations on reports of abuses
by the State security particularly in
Eastleigh, which is predominantly
inhabited by Somalis.
It wants ofcers suspected of
committing the alleged crimes tried.
Hundreds of people have been de-
ported to Somalia and over 1,000
forcibly returned to Kakuma and
Dadaab camps following the coun-
ter-terror operation.
The organisation also claims the
Somali community and refugees
have become scapegoats in the
crackdown that is contrary to the tri-
partite agreement signed between
Kenya and Somalia governments on
framework governing repatriation of
Somalia refugees.

said that other governors had also
done the same, Chepkwony said.

George Nganga, the governor how-
ever, admitted that he never reported
the extortion claims to the police.
He also admitted and that he had
single sourced ambulance services
from the Red Cross Society and that
there had been no provision for the
hiring of the vehicles in the county
supplementary budget.
Attempts by the governors lawyer
Kimutai Bosek to present video evi-
dence showing the speaker of the as-
sembly whipping the MCAs into vot-
ing for the Motion were thwarted
when the committee ruled that it
would not be drawn into considering
extraneous matters that were not re-
lated to the three charges facing
him.
We are concerned because you
are about to present things that hap-
pened outside the county assembly,
Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr told the
governors lawyer.

BY NOELLA MUTANDA
I
n one of the past consumer outreach
activities organized by the Insurance
Regulatory Authority, I met Samson
(not his real name) who was literally
breathing re! He came to our exhibition
stand and my greetings were met with a curt
answer: What does the word comprehensive
mean to you, and what is the meaning of
comprehensive motor insurance? It was
clear, from the onset that Samson had, at a
given time, purchased a comprehensive motor
insurance cover but experienced challenges
understanding what was covered in the policy
and what was excluded (not covered). I am
happy that by the end of our talk, Samson and
I shook hands and he went away promising to
purchase the comprehensive motor insurance
cover (again!). No doubt, there are a number of
other consumers in a similar predicament like
Samson.
PERSONALLY LIABLE
By way of background, the law requires you
to have motor vehicle insurance before you
put your vehicle on the road. There are four
levels of cover for motor vehicle insurance in
the market. The rst is The Act Only. This is
the bare minimum motor insurance cover that
you can purchase for your vehicle and it only
covers liability for death and bodily injuries to
third parties. In practice, this cover is rarely sold
since it is very narrow in its scope of coverage.
For instance, it does not cover damage to third
party property arising from an accident. Should
you take this cover, then you will be personally
liable for the damage caused on third party
property.
The second is Third Party Cover. This cover
is slightly wider than The Act Only in that in
addition to covering third party death or bodily
injury, it also covers liability for damage to third
party property. Under this cover, the insured
(vehicle owner) is covered against liabilities
arising from accidental damages caused on
other peoples property by his vehicle. He has
transferred this risk to an insurance company!
The third cover is the Third Party Fire and
Theft. As the name suggests, this cover takes
care of third party deaths or bodily injuries,
damage to third party property and loss or
damage of vehicle occasioned by re or theft.
In a way, it takes care of the insured (vehicle
owner) in that in the event of a re or theft, his
loss will be compensated.
POLICY DOCUMENT
The 4th cover is the Comprehensive cover.
Perhaps this is the most misunderstood (in
terms of what it covers and excludes) by virtue of
its name and general understanding of the word
comprehensive. Indeed, the Comprehensive
motor insurance covers all perils not excluded!
To then understand what it covers, one has to
read through the policy document (yes that
document we talked about in earlier article)
to identify that which is not covered! In most
cases, we rarely read the policy document
to understand the exclusions and, therefore,
assume that in the event of an accident, one is
comprehensively covered.
Comprehensive insurance is the most broad
motor vehicle insurance available in the market.
It provides cover for everything mentioned in
the above 3 levels of motor insurance cover.
Most importantly though, it provides cover for
accidental damage to the insureds vehicle by
any peril not excluded. This makes it possible
for the vehicle owner to have his vehicle
repaired in the event of an accident or replaced
in the case of a write off.
It is, however, important to note that while
the comprehensive cover is wide and from
connotation should imply that all risks are
covered, this is not the case. The policy has
exclusions, which for instance could include
no cover for damages resulting from acts
such as terrorism, political riots, oods or
occurrence of an accident against a stipulated
geographical area of cover. If, for example, your
car is comprehensively covered in Kenya, it is
not guaranteed that if you are involved in an
accident in Uganda you will be compensated.
FRAGILE IN NATURE
The windscreens and side mirrors are
also some items that are not automatically
covered under the comprehensive cover. This
is because these are not considered parts of
the vehicle in that they can be damaged while
the rest of the vehicle remains intact. They
are also quite fragile in nature. For instance,
the windscreen can be damaged while the
vehicle remains intact. The theft of non-factory
tted accessories like car stereos, sports rims
and leather seats among other things are not
automatically covered under comprehensive
insurance. These can be covered separately or
at an additional amount, that may be included
in the premium for comprehensive cover. These
additional amounts are called riders and are
specic in nature. Consumers are advised to
request for these additions to their covers and
pay some additional monies on top of their
premiums. The resultant comfort and peace of
mind of having these riders by far surpasses the
additional amounts to the premiums paid.
PERSONAL ACCIDENT
In conclusion, and very important to
note is that traditionally, all motor vehicle
insurance do not cover for death or bodily
injuries to the driver or the insured and his
family members. Consumers are further
advised to purchase personal accident covers
or workmans compensation to mitigate these
risks. The premiums for these types of cover are
affordable and readily available in the market.
The good news is that insurance companies are
now innovating and offering riders in the form
of personal accident covers for drivers and the
motor vehicle owner including members of his
family. These take care of losses resulting from
deaths or bodily injuries. Make a point to ask
your insurer the availability of such riders and
consider purchasing them.
Remember to always read you insurance
policy so as to understand what is covered and
what is excluded. The policies have now been
simplied and standardized to make you easily
understand its contents. Consider enhancing
your motor insurance cover to enjoy the peace
of mind that comes with purchasing insurance.

WHAT OTHER MEDIA SAY...
S
urprise of surprises, the President and Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defense Forces
can actually sing a hymn from start to end
from memory. And he did not go off key.
Speaker after speaker at the Annual National Prayer
Day yesterday stressed the need for peace, love and
unity, a clarion call the President picked and asked all
those present to practice it.
The evident camaraderie and confidence exuded at
the national prayer meeting was infectious. It was not
lost on many that the same leaders would walk out and
spew out epithets at their opponents.
Today more than ever before, the country needs
prayers, prayers for conscious effort from its leaders to
improve the less privileged lot in society. The accumu-
lated ills against which concerted prayer is needed to
exonerate us include poverty, disease and ignorance
that millions face each waking day.
Road accidents, illicit alcohol and insecurity
continue to claim the lives of many Kenyans through
no making of the devil, we believe, but recklessness
and a warped consciousness for human life. Many feel
that it is because of poor leadership. We pray for sound
leadership, servant leadership. Lord, we pray that you
may hold back the hand of those keen to destroy life
that they may hold it in awe because life is precious.
We pray Lord that you our often scurrilous and com-
bative politicians become meek and humble as lamb.
That, may they mellow and that may they think first of
those they lead before thinking about themselves. We
pray that corruption, tribalism, cronyism, nepotism
may recede and may we embrace the abundant
tributes in each of one us for we are all of one race; the
human race. We pray for prosperity, for abundance, for
harmony, for peace and for unity. Yet we also pray that
the organizers of the prayer day consider including
lesser Kenyans lest it be perceived as an elite club.
Hobnobbing with the who-is-who in society might just
be one prayer answered for someone.

T
he Central Organization of Trade
Unions (Cotu) and the Public
Servants Trade Union (Pusetu)
have come out strongly to petition the
Government to suspend the implementa-
tion of the new National Social Security
Fund Act 2013 that comes into force next
month.
In fact, Cotu has already gone to court
seeking orders to stop the implementation
of the contentious Act.
Cotu says workers salaries have
stagnated for a long period of time amidst
inflation and poor economic management
of the countrys resources.
They term the new deductions unrealis-
tic and complain that a deduction on
salaries that have remained static can only
hurt the workers.
The same can be said of large-scale
employers who may be forced to declare
redundancies to meet the extra costs.
Under the new regime, workers with
earnings above Sh18,000 per month will
contribute Sh1,440, those earning less
than Sh3,000 will pay Sh180.
One pertinent issue to be addressed is
that of double contributions to pension
schemes after the conversion of NSSF
from a provident fund to a pension
scheme and the stringent rules on com-
pulsory contributions, even if less, will
definitely result in double deductions.
Most employers have been running
pension schemes for their employees and
if the intention of NSSF is to make the
lives of pensioners comfortable, the way to
go is make them comfortable in the
short-term.
Becuase the biggest contention is that
the National Social Security Fund does not
inspire much confidence in the workers
who must be assured that their savings are
under prudent management that will pay
dividends at the end of the day.
NSSF remains mired in unresolved
controversies.
It is accused of investing billions of
shillings in dubious land deals, buying
land at the Karura and Ngong areas that
are classified as national forests.
It is under the spotlight for huge scams
that revolve around tendering. The Tassia
project in which NSSF stands to lose
billions still looms large in the minds of
many.
What, however, remains of big concern
is the political involvement in the appoint-
ment of Trustees of the Fund.
Often, these appointees have acted at
the behest of the Executive whose inter-
ests may run counter to those of the
contributors.
The bungled purchase of shares in the
collapsed Discount Securities, a brokerage
firm and the possible loss of Sh1.5 billion
aptly illustrates this point.
Cotu has called for reforms before the
new rates are effected.
They have a point.
The Government should therefore
suspend these payments and play its
arbitration role between the trade unions
and NSSF with diligence.
A consultative meeting between the
stakeholders is a must for it is through it
that any differences may be resolved.
A balanced representation on the board
appears to be the other bone of conten-
tion, a situation that should be remedied
to allow for mutual acceptance.
Unions should not be ignored lest it
compels them into calling for industrial
action that will be detrimental to the
fragile economy.
Yet, in all these, the benefits from the
new NSSF pension scheme are good for
all.
Ben Carson, doctor of division
Neurosurgeon-turned-conservative-icon Ben
Carson said in a visit to the capital Wednesday
that Gods plan for him is to teach Americans
that our strength is in our unity and we need
to stop ghting each other. What a noble
sentiment! And how much nobler it would be
if Carsons time on the national stage hadnt
been devoted to exactly the opposite. In the 16
months since his speech to the National Prayer
Breakfast made him an instant conservative
celebrity, he has drawn a parallel between
same-sex marriage, and pedophilia and
bestiality; he has declared the United States
very much like Nazi Germany; he has likened
Obamacare to slavery; and he has called the
veterans health-care scandal, in which some
died while on waiting lists...
Obesity levels will put great strain on
healthcare systems
Obesity is altering the shape of the average
human body. With every passing year, the
waistline of this mannequin expands or it
would, if somebody sculpted the data into
physical form. New research makes clear the
bulge. So great has the surge in obesity been
over the past 33 years, a Lancet report reveals,
that 2.1 billion people are now classed as
overweight. An OECD investigation provides a
lens on the shorter term: overall, the world is
putting on weight at quite a clip, even though
the rate of increase in the past decade slowed in
some developed countries, including the UK. The
implications of this for global health are obvious
and worrying: fat is linked to a rise in diabetes,
strokes, and some forms of cancer.
Maya Angelou never forgot her roots
Many people will remember Maya Angelou,
who died Wednesday at the age of 86, for her
phenomenal career. She was a true Renaissance
woman an author and teacher, a dancer and
performer, a radio personality and a producer.
I will remember her as a friend and a generous
spirit who shared her home and meals with me,
but who also made time for virtually anyone who
asked. The rst time I dined with Maya was at
a reception in the late 1980s for Brian Lankers
book I Dream a World, a collection of portraits
of black women, including Maya, who changed
our times. When a gentleman attempted to
get everyones attention in the noisy room, he
unwisely did so with a piercing whistle.

MIKE FPN NGWALLA } An unbecoming message from inside the Presidency
M
r Eric Ngeno, desig-

Messaging in the Pres-
idency, sent out all the wrong sig-
nals with his abortively satirical
piece in the media recently that
seemed to depict the Jubilee gov-
ernments series of blunders and
shortcomings.
Devised and delivered as a
tongue-in-cheek message, the
piece was anything but witty and
nowhere near funny.
In the process, Mr Ngeno
abused the countrys opposition,
the Coalition for Reforms and De-
mocracy (CORD), whom he cyni-
cally portrayed as chronically de-
stabilised morons and buffoons.
He demeaned the Presidency and
brought the writers own profes-

top of insulting Kenyans intelli-

KIPKOECH TANUI}
THE WEAKEST LI NK
What made Ruto could be what breaks him
to reect on is how perception
rather than objectivity, drives
Kalenjin politics. That is why you
have started hearing of the shame-
ful leaets asking members of Uh-
urus community to start leaving
certain areas.
It is also the reason why Gov-
ernor of Governors Isaac Ruto told
him bluntly; that among the Kalen-
jins, the alliance has turned out to
be between just Ruto and Uhuru!
Thirdly, Rutos opponents have
come up with this claim, whose
veracity or untruth only he and
Uhuru knows; that there was a
cash transaction in the merger
and so Rutos hands are tied be-
cause that business was sealed
long ago.
From where some of us sit, it is
getting obvious by the day that Ru-
to cannot gag his Kalenjin critics
by calling them names. No, they
will get more popular because they
are espousing the same grievances
that made and torpedoed Samoei
into the high-table of national pol-
itics. In short, if Ruto deals with it
rudely, arrogantly, and dismissive-
ly, it can only get worse because
here, decent truisms like Kenya
has 42 tribes who also have to ben-
et from State largesse, wont gloss
over the perceptions that Uhuru
wants his guys where the purse is
bigger.
So what are we telling Ruto?
Simple, that what made him is
what will break him if is he does
not change tact, for this is the na-
ture of relationships saddled with
a lot of baggage and suspicions
many times perception and reality
are at war and the truth is the ca-
sualty.

T
oday, allow me to ad-
dress Deputy President
William Ruto. I will as-
pire to be respectful and courte-
ous, but I will also balance this
with strong opinions that he needs
hear, if he hasnt.
I take cognisance of two issues
here; rst, politians dont like what
they ought to hear, instead, they
extol sycophancy, especially by
those who have a personal stake in
their upward movement. That is
why when a politician is falling, he
has fewer and fewer friends, at
other times, smiling people jam
their home, ofce and even the
gymns they visit.
The second issue is that Ruto is
a suave mobiliser, and in fact, was
until recently, a candidate for the
Nobel Prize for Chemistry, given
the way he demonstrated that you
could actually mix water and oil.
We shall come to this Kikuyu-
Kalenjin political romance issue
shortly. I almost forgot to tell you
what his friends tell me; that he
has a little challenge in keeping
pals because of the premium of
political brilliance he has placed
on himself.
I am somehow qualied to
write about Ruto for rst, I was the
rst jounalist to do his personal
prole in a newspaper 17 years
ago when he joined Parliament.
He was relatively unknown. At the
time, he told me he wanted to be
in politics for 15 years because he
didnt consider (like the rest of the
folk) that Parliament was a retire-
ment home.
I would remain his friend in the
years to follow, getting his insights
on the happenings in the country
now and then, particularly be-
cause of a common friend; Mr
Kipruto arap Kirwa.
I tell you what, Ruto found his
place in history majorly because
Kalenjins were not prepared for
the exit of former President Moi
from power in 2002. He was Kanus
Director of Elections, and Mr Uh-
uru Kenyattas right handman in
the takeover after Moi.
Walking a few steps back, you
will nd that it was then consid-
ered treasonable to ask Moi to
name or even groom a successor
in Kalenjin politics. Only three
prominent people tried this: Kir-
wa, Kipkorir Menjo of Eldoret and
Jackson Kibor. Now you can imag-
ine the tonnage of criticism they
received from people walking the
corridors of power then: Nicholas
Biwott, Kipkalya Kones (deceased),
Ezekiel Barngetuny (deceased)
and Mark Too, just to name a few.
Having served under their tu-
telage as a YK-92 ofcial and the
loyalist youth, Ruto had a sense of
timing. This is discernible from
how he dramatically joined poli-
tics by ooring the late Reuben
Chesire for the Eldoret North par-
liamantary seat, against whom the
campaign ran that he was a Tugen
imposed on Nandis.
The second supporter of this
fact is that when Moi left power,
the effect in Rift Valley was shock-
ing and was summed up by the
tears of Madam Sally Kosgey. The
community felt orphaned; I mean
it had been in power, for that is
how they saw it, for 24 years!
Then as the powerful Kalenjin
personalities around Moi retreat-
ed to the periphery of national af-
fairs, the Kiraitu Murungis and
Chris Murungarus of this world
started insulting Moi, as top Kalen-
jins in positions of inuence on
government were retired. Two
people stepped out to defend Moi;
rst was Raila Odinga, the unlike-
liest of the Narc brood, and Ruto.
That is how Ruto came to com-
mand that deep respect he oc-
cupied the vacuum of Kalenjin
defender when few would have
dared speak. That way, the com-
munity embraced him, despite his
fair share of little failings that we
all have in life.
It is this anti-Kibaki, and by ex-
tension, anti-Kikuyu posture, that
led Ruto into Railas arms in 2007,
and it is exactly what came be-
tween him and the Son of Jomo
who then went on to join the Kiba-
ki campaign team.
In 2013, the game changed.
Ruto who ve years earlier wasnt
convinced Raila would be market-
able to Kalenjins chose to use po-
litical mathematics and the ICC
umblical cord shared with Uhuru,
to create a parternship. He called
it peace-making!
But a year into power, there is
grumbling in his backyard; about
how diluted Kalenjin (for URP is
just but a cover) shareholding in
Jubilee and Government is. You
see, the reasons for these are three-
fold.
First, Ruto promised them
heaven and earth, if they voted
him and Uhuru to power. That in-
deed is music to the ear of a com-
munity that hasnt known the
coldness of opposition benches
except between 2002-2007.
Secondly, Uhuru clearly goes
by the tradition of Kenyas politics.
He has left the Kibakis pseudo-
political power network intact in
his Government through ve main
characters: Brigadier (rtd) Michael
Gichangi, Mr Francis Kimemia,
Mr Mutea Iringo, Mr Joseph
Kinyua and Madam Anne Waigu-
ru. In closing, what Ruto may need
ruption. His colourless messaging
to say the least was not on-mes-
sage. A messager of the Presidency
should remain rst and last a mes-
senger of the Presidents and the
Governments agenda. Such a per-
son should not be seen as making
faces.
Mr Ngenos remarks on terror-
ism and counterterrorism were
particularly insensitive; they were
also abhorrent and harmful. The
same goes for the unilateral fun-
and-games he played with the sub-
jects of mega-corruption and the
still unimplemented Standard One
laptops project.
When President Uhuru Kenyat-
ta wants to crack a joke, he has his
own distinctive sense of humour
and chooses the subjects of his lev-
ity carefully, with the result that he
has his audiences, from the Cabi-
net Room to dining tables and
teeming stadia, roaring with appre-
ciative laughter.
A director of a Presidencys mes-
saging who elicits such responses
is clearly failing in his or her service,
expertise and professionalism. This
is a pity, for all that Mr Ngeno
needs to do is to keep on-message.
He has easily the easiest President
of Kenya yet to serve in a commu-
nications capacity and the best-
informed.
There was the straight-faced
piece he wrote when he was desig-
nated Director of Speechwriting in
the Presidency in which he de-
clared that one part of the institu-
tion was sabotaging the other.
Professionalism in a presiden-
tial speechwriter consists of, rst
and foremost, being completely
client-focused.
It is all about serving and suit-
ing your clients agenda, perspec-
tives, programmes, policies and
processes and absolutely no one
elses, not even your own.
The most important attribute
of a Director of Messaging in the
Presidency is that he or she vivies
the agenda of the apex institution
in the land and its occupant. The
most successful content develop-
ers of Presidential messages are
completely self-effacing opera-
tives. When the late John Fitzgerald
Kennedy urged Americans, at his
Inauguration in 1961, Ask not what
your country can do for you, ask
what you can do for your country,
the world heard JFK, not his speech-
writer Ted Sorensen.
A director of presidential mes-
saging has no business interposing
himself between his Client-in-
Chief and communications from
the institution. Even when he pens
opinion pieces under his own
name, as long as he is a messenger
of the Presidency, he or she must
strive to vivify, not obfuscate or
cheapen, the Presidential agenda,
unless the subject is ornithology or
brain surgery.
And even then the state of orni-
thology and neurosurgery in the
nation under his or her bosss ad-
ministration might merit a para-
graph or two.

There is
grumbling
in his back-
yard; about
how dilut-
ed Kalen-
jin ( for
URP is just
but a cov-
er) share-
holding
in Jubilee
and Gov-
ernment
is. You see,
the rea-
sons for
these are
three-fold
Maina Njenga, the former
leader of Mungiki is said to
have renounced the group. His
brother, whom he was going
to meet recently is a faction
leader of the Mungiki. Njenga
is sympathetic to those of his
ock he says backslid. He is a
pastor who wears a bulletproof
vest and never
stays anywhere
for more than
two hours.
Some things just
dont add up. Is
there something
Kenyans should
know about the intricacies
revolving around Njenga, the
police and Mungiki? Just ask-
ing, mind you.
When is punishment in schools
categorised as corporal? The Bi-
ble says, spare the rod and spoil
the child. Young brains seem to
respond better, and with alacrity
to the stimuli that is the cane,
barring which we bring up social
mists. The issue of punishment
in schools should be reviewed
lest we needlessly blame teach-
ers for societal indiscipline.
If, as John Mututho, the
Nacada chairman says all
liquor will be tasted abroad,
then all distilleries should be
relocated abroad. We know, as
he does that samples submit-
ted for tests will be the best.
That is the standard practice
of the capitalists. What will
follow after the liquors that
have been given a clean bill of
health are concoctions that put
you on the highway to Heaven
or Hell? Just legalise the brew,
set standards and guys will be
so bored they wont even drink.
Ask Palaver.
They say out of sight out of
mind. What you dont see you
dont think about. It is gratifying
to see the Inspector General of
Police do the rounds to assess
the security situation at govern-
ment institutions. These institu-
tions, especially hospitals, are
exposed and security needs to be
beefed up. While at it, supermar-
kets should be advised to have
emergency doors. There is only
one door to many supermarkets
and if the entrance is blocked,
too bad!
And nally...
Which is which Mr Aden
Duale? When the State went
for suspected criminals in
Eastleigh, you cried foul. They
are targeting
my community,
you cried out
loud for all to
hear. To you
it was ethnic
proling of
the Somali.
Now that the
international community took
up your cry and you realised
it was a gaffe, you have made
a detour and now deny the ac-
tion was ethnic proling. Make
up your mind. You cant have it
both ways.

Kimaiyo should consult the law
before issuing controversial orders
Inspector General David Kimaiyo has
allowed the CORD rally to welcome
former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to
go on at Uhuru Park. Why is he fond of
issuing draconian orders which have no
basis in law. In a span of just two weeks,
he has issued two defective orders. One
was removal of tint from private cars and
two ban on political rallies. Or was it a
slip of the tongue, because he woke up
the following morning, Wednesday, and
lifted the order. The political rallies can
go on as planned and imagine at Uhuru
Park. Kimaiyo must remember what the
law says before issuing controversial
orders. Justin Nkaranga, Mombasa
Harvesting rain water can save us
from ever rising electricity costs
Energy Regulatory Commission is
planning to hike the cost of a unit of
power owing to depressed rainfall that
has forced the country to use thermal
power. This is not good news. It has
only been two weeks after the rains and
ERC is announcing rise in the cost of
electricity. This could have been avoided
had plans been put in place to harvest
rain water. Veronica onjoro, Mombasa
Leaders must desist from tribal
comments on social media
With 42 tribes in its territory, Kenya
remains a very delicate country to
govern. Leaders must keep the 40 million
Kenyans in mind when commenting
on issues, especially on social media.
Appointments cannot impress everyone
and complaints among leaders whose
regions have been left out is inevitable
but they should tread carefully as
their messages may cause pain and
resentment among Kenyans. Reagan

Kakamega MCAs more of tourists
than local legislators
Kakamega County MCAs are becoming
more of tourists than legislators. They
just came back from Lamu and are
scheduled to leave for Rwanda anytime
this week, yet there are many Bills
waiting to be debated. I think the tours
should be undertaken by the county
executives because they are concerned
with county policies. I dont see why an
MCA whose main duty is to formulate
laws go for study tours? Or is it a tactic
by governor Oparanya to tame MCAs
who pose a threat to his administration?

Leaders must take up rightful
role of representing the voiceless
I have been watching in disbe-
lief the tussle between rival politi-
cal groups. One can easily tell the
vehicle of national development
has veered off the road thanks to in-
sensitive, egocentric, myopic and
unpatriotic leaders.
Only last year, Kenyans made
long queues to elect their leaders
under the new constitutional dis-
pensation. There was hope of a new
era brought about by an expanded
democratic space and enhanced
bill of rights and fundamental free-
doms.
Hope for children in Baragoi
and Turkana that have not known
peace and consequently aban-
doned schooling because the
threats to their lives is greater than
the promise of education; it was the
hope for their mothers that have
witnessed hostility being meted out
on them by the only neighbours
they have known.
It brought back hope to disillu-
sioned squatters at the coast who
have lived in abject poverty as their
land was utilised by rich mer-
chants.
They endured the sun as well as
failed biometric equipment to ush-
er in a new government of Presi-
dent Uhuru Kenyatta in an election
that goes down in history as the
most hotly contested.
Soon after, the post-election po-
litical engine was reignited. The
Opposition seems to have perfect-
ed the art of annoying the President
into making roadside declara-
tions.
SUPREMACY CONTESTS
For where else in the world does
a president who believes in democ-
racy publicly declare that him and
his deputy would rule for 20 years?
Does the President know some-
thing Kenyans do not know? Or
does he talk faster than he thinks
whenever his legs are pulled by his
antagonists?
Amid this supremacy contest,
many Kenyans have lost their lives
in the worst terrorist attacks ever
witnessed in our history.
Our politicians dont seem keen
on prescribing solutions to these
problems. The poor and voiceless
populace that is in dire need of so-
cial-economic emancipation has
become an easy prey for the vaga-
ries of our politics.
They have been used, dumped,
reused and left to sustain their liv-
ing in squalid and dilapidated
structures. For what else can ex-
plain the harsh realities of drought
claiming lives in Baringo, a region
that sponsored this countrys pres-
ident for 24 years, if not sheer neg-
ligence? What else can explain the
perennial jigger menace that is eat-
ing the pride of people in a region
that has sponsored president for
the third time now since indepen-
dence?
Kenyans should demand an-
swers from their leaders because
the problems they face are cross-
cutting.

The state of the nation, to say
the least, is worrying. Insecurity is
at an all time high courtesy of Al-
Shabaab militants.
This has impacted negatively
on the economy as tourists have
kept off our parks and beaches
following travel advisories issued
by their countries.
There is a lingering threat of
hunger due to failure of the long
rains in the breadbasket coun-
ties.
Our politicians have waded in-
to this worrisome situation and,
true to character, have succeeded
in making an already bad situa-
tion worse.
Those in the Jubilee coalition
are not reading from one script.
Members of the National Assem-
bly and the Senate are at war with
the Executive. One wonders how
they will fulll their manifesto.
Even their numbers in Parliament
has not been used to improve the
lot of the common man.
Jubilee governors have joined
hands with their CORD counter-
parts in berating the national
Government for allegedly under-
mining devolution. Those facing
questions from their MCAs be-
lieve they are targeted for political
elimination.
The Jubilee administration
should have done better. Some
decisions made by the Executive
have only increased feelings of
ethnic marginalisation. Appoint-
ments have taken an ethnic angle.
The Opposition which would, ide-
ally, provide alternative policies
appear clueless.
Clearly, our leaders are not do-
ing enough to inspire hope in
hardworking but scared Kenyans.
Kenyans want to travel, trade,
farm and go to school in a secure
environment. All our leaders on
both sides of the political divide
must work towards this objec-
tive.

State must crack whip
on FGM, early marriages
Young people between the age
of 20 and 24 comprise 36 per
cent of Kenyas population.
Theres major concern that the
youth have continuously posted
disturbing indicators on matters
touching on their sexual and
reproductive health.
Recent studies have shown half
of new HIV infections in Kenya
occur among the ages of 15-24,
with girls twice as susceptible
as boys.
Teenage pregnancies are also
a major concern. At 19 years,
half of all adolescents have
started bearing children. This
is accompanied by school
dropouts and early marriages.
Unsafe abortions have been real
with over half of those seeking
post abortion care services
being below 25.
Whereas the youth have to
play their part, the buck stops
with the duty bearer, the
Government.
The Government needs to
crack the whip on retrogressive
cultural practices like Female
Genital Mutilation, early
marriages, gender based
violence, inhibitions and cultural
oppositions to modern family
planning among several others.
Policies and guidelines
formulated to address youth
issues must be implemented to
the letter.
The National Guidelines for
Provision of Youth Friendly
Services is one such policy
that recognises the challenges
facing the youth and expresses
the need to provide services
that meet their health needs
in a manner and environment
to attract interest and sustain
their motivation to utilise such
services.

Kimaiyos outbursts only
serves to scare investors
I watched in utter disbelief as In-
spector General David Kimaiyo strug-
gled to justify his unwarranted deci-
sion to out-law political rallies and
processions.
Security concerns remain an un-
pleasant menu on our national agen-
da, but I will not ask about intelligent
reports our security agents could have
to necessitate banning of all political
gatherings.
When Britain and other Western
countries issued security warnings to
their citizenry resulting in mass exo-
dus of tourists from Kenya, a section
of Kenyans read economic sabotage
in the move. Kimayos reckless out-
bursts do not inspire hope and only
help to scare away the remaining in-
vestors. Does the IG give a rap about
our economy?
Roadside ats, which have become
Kimayos mode of operation, are not a
sign of renement or efciency; they
only excite pity.
If people at political rallies run a
big risk of terror attacks, so should
worshipers and football enthusiasts in
synagogues and stadiums!
And why has the public not been
warned to avoid such places as Gikom-
ba, which have suffered these attacks
before? According to Kimaiyo, the war
against terrorism is lost and Kenyans
daily operations should be conned
to their immediate surroundings!

Commuters to swipe
in matatus by July
Airtel announced plan to work
with Equity Bank to come up with a
money transfer system likened to
M-Pesa, a money transfer system es-
tablished by Safaricom in 2002.
Safaricom is, however, ahead of
the game as it is now in the process
of hatching a system to enable Ke-
nyans swipe in matatus. The com-
munication company unveiled the
plan expected to start by first week
of July.
Safaricom is working with Matatu
Owners Association to ensure Ke-
nyans use reliable means to pay
fares while travelling within Kenya.
The system will allow owners of
public vehicles to have their money
safely tucked in their accounts.
With MY-1963 card, the driver
and the tout will also have to deal
with numerous cases of account-
ability as they shall have to account
for every cent they spend. They will
sadly not have the chance to pay
themselves and make themselves
rich at the expense of vehicle own-
ers.
Matatu owners also made it
known that they would instal CCTV
cameras for better security in the
public transport system.
Kudos to Airtel and Safaricom for
their everyday innovations aimed at
making Kenya a digital country.

Riding roughshod?
G
reetings Baba, also
known as Jakom, Ag-
wambo, Tinga, the
Right Honourable former Prime
Minister of the Republic of Ke-
nya, senior statesman, elder of
Kenyan politics, master of spin-
ning yarns and vitendawili!
This is to welcome you back
home and to let you know that
you were sorely missed. I can
hardly believe that you have
been away for over two months.
Im sure you enjoyed the break,
immersed as you were in proper
discussions about Kenya and Af-
rica in global geopolitics. Now,
thats where men of your stature
truly belong.
I want to fully associate with
your efforts to put Kenya on the
world map, as you did in that
land of Cousin Barry, who also
happens to be Prezzo of the
United States of America, but do
we say!
Talking of Barry, Im sure you
two had a tte--tte away from
the prying eyes of watu wa mag-
azeti (newspaper men) and
spoke a thing or two about home
affairs. It would break my heart
to hear you did not spare a mo-
ment for our relatives.
Anyway, as I said, mine is to
welcome you back home, and
alert you what has been happen-
ing while you were away. Of
course you are familiar with our
small-minded politicians; while
you were away, they took their
pettiness to stratospheric levels.
Some have been whispering
that you jumped ship to escape
wrangles in CORD, following the
bungled party polls in which
your acolytes were openly hu-
miliated. Yet others claim it was
your purportedly waning inu-
ence that shocked and surprised
you that you literally had to ee
from the scene to absorb the
shock and regain your breath.
Some even had the temerity
to insinuate your trip was meant
to evoke other political epochs,
such as the Lancaster confer-
ences where our countrys polit-
ical future was debated, or even
the 1992 return of prominent
son of soil, Kenneth Matiba.
I cant believe such nonsense
from grown men, considering
we are not faced with elections,
at least not for a couple of years.
In any case, whats wrong with
making a dramatic entry to your
own country?
Yet, the same chaps who talk
of your waning political for-
tunes are having sleepless nights
about your impending return,
and have gone all out to frus-
trate any prospects of people
proclaiming: let us rejoice, for
our Baba has returned from his
sojourns in the land of the white
men!
But as the Good Book warns,
where we plant peace and joy,
the cunning one supplants sus-
picion and chaos.
So do not even raise your
voice when you encounter petty
people in the airport. It does not
matter or does it? the lounge
that you use to get back home.
There are those who will try to
pull the rug off your feet, quite
literally, so that you do not step
There is an interesting picture of Kate Middle-
ton, the Duchess of Cambridge, doing rounds on
the web after its publication in Australia and Ger-
many.
The fair princess is photographed doing a
striptease after a gush of wind from a choppers
blade blew up her dress after landing in Austra-
lia.
Its not the rst time this has happened; some
moons ago, a powerful gale lifted her dress some-
where in Canada, so one can say many people
across the world are privy to the intimate con-
tours of the fair lady.
The British Press have not touched those im-
ages, following an agreement with Kensington
Palace to eschew anything that would violate the
privacy of the royals. If my memory serves me
right, there is a law that prohibits such publica-
tions. Or it is a gentlemans agreement thats an-
chored on media regulatory authority in Britain.
You see Im having a difculty recalling exactly
what I read because the law is as old as Britta-
nia.
Newspaper editors, however, have a different
explanation. They say they shall not be bound by
some antiquated authority, even when those that
the law seeks to protect make no effort to do the
least, like covering their bums from exposure.
While I do not purport to bear any knowledge
of female clothing, I hear weights can be placed
along the hem of the dress to avoid what our peo-
ple call aibu ndogo ndogo (little embarrass-
ments).
But again, an occasional striptease isnt a very
bad idea, especially if Kate nds life as a royalty a
little suffocating.
The world is mourning the demise of
poet, author, activist and teacher Maya
Angelou, who passed on mid-week in the

of the departed author.
But Cousin Barry did more than just
speak well of the dead, in 2011, he hon-
oured the poet with the highest civilian
honour, the Presidential Medal of Free-
dom. Maya Angelou had remarkable gifts:
she was a ne actress, singer and cook, al-
though it is her exploits as a memoirist
that gained world attention.
At the urging of the departed American
author James Baldwin, she wrote the rst
installment of her memoirs in 1969.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, as
the maiden book was titled, covered Ma-
yas formative years in segregated South,
the family breakup and her trauma after
she was sexually assaulted by her moth-
ers boyfriend. She was only eight.
When the man was jailed, and subse-
quently murdered, Maya wrote, she
blamed herself for the mess and did not
speak for ve years..
Her lyrical exposition of a personal
pain, which reected the wider afictions
of Americas race relations, resonated with
millions across the world. She will be
missed.
British princess reveals the naked
truth, its not as ugly as it sounds
Fare thee well, Maya Angelou, thank
you for setting many caged birds free
Baba is nally back, so lets all rise and
sing joyfully, rejoicing for his safe return
on an inch of carpet at the air-
port.
But do not be troubled; the
greatest carpet is the black-

poverty-stricken ghettoes of Kib-
era that you represented for de-
cades, to the sun-kissed slums of
Marigu-ini, the masses that truly
cherish you will line up along
city streets, all the way to Uhuru
Park singing in unison: Our Baba
is back, our Baba is back, our Ba-
ba is back!
For they know their Baba will
not return empty-handed, if all
he has, as he usually does, is a

A self-proclaimed witchdoctor from
Tanzania and his accomplice will serve
three years in jail for defrauding a Nairo-
bi resident of Sh9 million with the prom-
ise of riches.
Amos Chipeta and Peter Mwami will
be repatriated back to their country after
completing their sentences, for lying that
they would multiply their clients mon-
ey.
Senior Principal Magistrate Lucy
Mbugua handed them the jail term after
they were found guilty of defrauding
Catherine Njeri of the colossal sum of
money.
The prosecutor informed the court
that Chipeta and Mwami, between Au-
gust and December 2012, obtained Sh9
million from Njeri at their premises along
Juja Road by saying that the money
would multiply to Sh50 million after
three months and quadruple in six
months.
The witchdoctors also promised Njeri
that they would use magic powers to en-
able her become rich.
The court heard that after handing
over the cash to the witchdoctors, they
gave her a box, which she was instructed
not to open before three months were
over. When the period ended, Njeri
opened the box only to nd it stuffed
with pieces of papers rather than the
cash promised by the witchdoctor.
MOVED BASE
Njeri headed straight for the witch-
doctors house to nd that the two had
moved base to an unknown location a
few days earlier.
Njeri reported the incident to the po-
lice who laid a trap by sending an ofcer
to pose as a customer.
On February 1 last year, police raided
their premises and the two were found
with assorted paraphernalia and later
charged with being in possession of as-
sorted articles believed to be used in the
exercise of witchcraft for the purpose of
causing fear, annoyance and injury to the
mind.
Chipeta was jailed for three years on
the rst charge of obtaining money by
purporting to have knowledge of witch-
craft and six months for being in posses-
sion of charms contrary to the law.
His accomplice will serve six months
in jail for being in possession of the par-
aphernalia.
In mitigation, the accused, through
their lawyer Stanley Kangahi, pleaded for
leniency, saying both had families to take
care of. He urged the court to grant the
accused non-custodial sentences be-
cause they were repentant of the of-
fence.
The rst accused has been in custo-
dy for one, and I ask the court to be con-
siderate and not give a harsh sentence,
Kangahi said.
The magistrate, however, said the of-
fence was serious as it instilled fear in the
community. The two were given 14 days
to appeal.

Desalegn, as well as his desire to
pursue peace for South Sudan. He
praised the Ethiopian leader for his

Three crucial agencies to lose
control of road works in counties
fore when the State laid claim to some
of the roads in the counties, further
delaying funding.
The current classication system
was developed over 30 years ago and
has six classes from A to E, and a class
for special purpose roads. Each class
is dened by the functional criteria re-
lated to the administrative level of
centres the roads connect.
By LUKE ANAMI
It is now ofcial the Kenya Rural
Roads Authority (Kerra), Kenya Na-
tional Highways Authority (KenHa)
and Kenya Urban Roads Authority
(Kura) will no longer control the man-
agement of roads in counties.
This follows a decision to have
them remain at national level.
Roads have been classied as ei-
ther national or county in a move that
will render Kerra, KenHa and Kura
roles at county level irrelevant.
We have now classied all roads
as either national or county roads.
This effectively removes the State or-
ganisations (Kura and KenHa) from
controlling county roads, Transition
Authority (TA) chairman Kinuthia
Wamwangi said.
Kenyas road network has been es-
tablished to be 160,886km long. About
61,936km of these roads are classied
while the remaining 98,950km are un-
classied.
Responsibility for managing the
road network falls under the Ministry
of Roads and is implemented through
KenHa, Kerra, Kura and the Kenya
Wildlife Service.
RAGING BATTLE
The national government will
now handle Class A, B and C while
county governments will handle Class
D, E and unclassied roads, bringing
an end to the raging battle for control
of the roads function between the two
governments, Wamwangi ex-
plained.
He said the decision would be rat-
ied next week and gazetted to avoid

ROADS COUNTRYWIDE
Class B are national trunk

Class C are primary roads
that link provincially impor-

to higher class roads such as

tant centres to each other, or
to more important centres or

the new classications, Kakamega

President Uhuru Kenyattas
promise to return soon to the
North Rift with his deputy Wil-
liam Ruto signals that the sim-
mering discontent in the re-
gion has attracted the attention
of State House.
The President made various
stops to address the public on
his way from Moi Barracks to
the Eldoret airstrip on Wednes-
day and announced plans by
his government to revive
stalled development projects
in the region.
Uhuru said he and his
deputy would tour the North
Rift for one week.

deputy and Government ma-
chinery to ensure that vital
projects are swiftly undertak-

Among the projects, he
said, was completion of Kip-

lishment of an Eldoret by-pass,
completion of the stalled Ziwa-
Eldoret road and improvement
of Rivatex Company.
Speaking by phone to The
Standard yesterday, Nandi
Hills MP Alfred Keter lauded
the Presidents planned visit to
the North Rift. Mr Keter has
been critical of Uhurus lead-
ership style.
He said the visit would help
strengthen public condence
in the Government.
EMPTY PROMISES
Keter said the public had
grown tired of empty promises,
adding that he would support

A couple has for the second
time been charged in a Nairobi
court for claiming compensa-
tion from an insurance com-
pany by faking death.
Ezekiel Ogoma, who is al-
leged to have died in a road
accident on Kisumu-Siaya
Road in January last year, and
his wife Rachel Adhiambo ap-
peared before Milimani Senior
Principal Magistrate Peter
Ndwiga and denied ve counts
of forgery and fraud.
The two were charged with
attempting to defraud Jubilee
Insurance Company Limited
of Sh600,665 on September 26
last year by faking Ogomas
death, contrary to Section 313
of the Penal Code, while pre-
tending that he had died on
January 29 in a road crash.
Prosecutor Richard On-
dimu said the accused knew
he had not died in the alleged
accident.
They were also charged
with forging a register of death
serial No. 43013291, alleging it
had been signed by FK Idwasi,
civil registrar, Siaya County.
The couple was also ac-
cused of forging a police ab-
stract form dated July 5, 2013.
In the abstract, Ogoma was
conrmed to have died in the
road accident involving a ve-
hicle KBG 332A along the
Kisumu-Siaya road.
The couple was directed by
the magistrate to deposit a
cash bail of Sh500,000 or a
bond of a similar amount fail-
ure to which they would re-
main in custody pending the
hearing and determination of
their case.
In April, Ogoma and his
wife were charged with con-
spiring to defraud Pan Africa
Assurance Company of
Sh634,936 by pretending that
Ogomo died on Febraury 28,
last year.

We have no issues with
Uhuru but we are worried
about Rutos silence when se-
nior ofcials from the region
are replaced in unclear cir-
cumstances, he added.
On Wednesday, the Presi-
dent insisted that his visit
would be crucial in ensuring
that the textile industry was
revamped.
We want to improve the
working of the textile company
to the extent that there will be
enough clothes for all Kenyans
so that the constant buying of
mitumba is put aside, he
said.
He maintained that his re-
lationship with Ruto had not
been affected by the recent
squabbles. We are dedicated
to working for the betterment
of our country. Macho ya
chura haiwezi kuzuia ngombe
kunywa maji (A frogs eyes
cannot prevent a cow from
drinking water), he said.
His sentiments come a
week after a section of MPs al-
lied to Rutos United Republi-
can Party accused the DP of
remaining silent on issues af-
fecting them.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph
ole Lenku attracted the wrath of a par-
liamentary committee after he failed
to turn up for grilling over the Sh15
billion tender for security surveillance
equipment awarded to Safaricom.
Committee members questioned
how Safaricom, a partially privately
owned company, could be entrusted
with the security surveillance details
of the country. They also sought to
nd out how safe the intended sys-
tems were from possible hackers.
Lenku angered members of the
Committee on Administration and
National Security when he gave the
meeting a wide berth despite a prom-
ise to appear and defend the award of
the contract through single-sourc-
ing.
HALT PROGRAMME
This prompted committee chair-
man, Tiaty MP Asman Kamama (pic-
tured), to issue nal summons to the
Cabinet Secretary and his team,
threatening that if they did not appear
next Thursday, Parliament would in-
voke sanctions as stipulated in their
Standing Orders.
Mr Kamama further directed the
Interior ministry to ensure that the
project meant to install security sur-
veillance cameras in Nairobi and
Mombasa cities did not take off un-
til it was cleared by Parliament.
We are insisting that the whole
programme, however urgent it may
be, should be halted until Parliament
gives the green light. If the ministry
proceeds, then they will be doing so
at their own peril, said Kamama.
But it was the absence of both Len-
ku, who was said to be in Rwanda for
a regional security conference, and
his Principal Secretary Mutea Iringo,
who was attending the National
Prayer Breakfast, that appeared to an-
ger the legislators. Laisamis MP Jo-
seph Lekuton asked the chairman to
send a protest note to the Cabinet
Secretary, claiming that together with
his team, he was not giving parlia-
mentary duties due priority.
Some of us have come from very
far. It is disturbing that the CS lacks
the courtesy to inform us that he will
not attend so we can handle other re-
sponsibilities, complained Lekuton.
Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi said
the ministry ofcials had been snub-
bing the committees proceedings.

The Jubilee alliance has called on
Inspector General of Police David Ki-
maiyo to be on the look out for in-
ammatory statements and inciteful
utterances when CORD hosts a recep-
tion rally for their leader Raila Odin-
ga.
Jubilees top leadership in Parlia-
ment asked Kimaiyo to hold to ac-
count politicians who seek to propa-
gate hatred and tension among
Kenyans.
National Assembly Majority Lead-
er Aden Duale and his Senate coun-
terpart Kithure Kindiki said no one
should be allowed to sow seeds of dis-
cord and animosity among Kenyans.
They spoke after the ruling coali-
tion cancelled their rally planned for
tomorrow, citing intelligence brief-
ings on security and a reluctance to be
seen to be spoiling the party for
CORD.
Jubilee had initially planned a par-
allel meeting in Nairobi to rival that of
the Opposition but called it off to
avert a confrontation.
OVERRIDE CONSTITUTION
We do not think it is advisable for
us to continue with a rally when the
Opposition is having one. We are not
in competition; we are the ruling co-
alition. They have the opportunity to
criticise us (Jubilee) with dignity and
decorum but we do not welcome in-
citement, Kindiki said.
He added: This weekend, we shall
be busy with matters of national de-
velopment in various parts of the na-
tion, but we shall keep an eye and ear
on the Opposition and may want to
respond to their issues at a more op-
portune time.
They said they would be listening
for inciteful statements during the
CORD rally.
Jubilee cancel rally, ask
Kimaiyo to monitor
Oppositions event
Ruling coalition asks IG to keep
close eye on CORD for inciteful
utterances and prosecute anyone
who causes mayhem on Saturday
Kimaiyo is a custodian of the law;
we want to ask him to apprehend and
charge politicians who may utter
statements that could create tribal or
political tension. Whether in Jubilee
or CORD, we have no excuse for incit-
ing Kenyans. We should engage in re-
sponsible politics, Duale said.
Duale said the ruling alliance was
not chickening out of holding a rally,
adding that the decision was reached
in the best interests of peace.
He also said intelligence reports
indicated that criminal elements
wanted to take advantage of the two
separate rallies to cause chaos and vi-
olence and urged their supporters to
go about their normal business.
The leaders spoke on Wednesday
after a lengthy meeting with Kimaiyo
during which they took him to task for
announcing a ban on political ral-
lies.
We deliberated over the IGs ear-
lier decision to ban political rallies in-
denitely. We reminded him to re-
spect the Constitution. He cannot use
a subsidiary legislation to override the
Constitution that guarantees Kenyans
freedom of assembly and expression,
Duale said outside Jogoo house.
But Duale urged the police boss to
take rm action against any politician
who may utter sentiments likely to
cause ethnic tension in the country.
We are concerned that what is
happening could lead the country
down the wrong path of division,
Kindiki said.

ity Leader Adan Duale and his
Senate counterpart Kithure

Court of Appeal judges have
suspended a decision by the
High Court to allow the Gov-
ernment to arrest journalist
Walter Barasa who is wanted
by the International Criminal
Court (ICC) for alleged witness
tampering.
Judges Patrick Kiage, Wil-
liam Ouko and MInoti Kathu-
rima said yesterday that Barasa
should not be arrested pend-
ing hearing and determination
of the case in the Appeal court
challenging the ruling that
cleared his arrests and transfer
to The Hague-based court.
High Court principal judge
Richard Muongo had ruled
that Barasa should be arrested
going by the request of ICC
Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
However, the lawyer for the
victims of the post-election vi-
olence Wilfred Nderitu wanted
the court to put sanctions on
Mr Barasa.
He should be reporting to
the court registrar and to Gov-
ernment agencies to conrm
that he is available and has not
escaped, Mr Nderitu said.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is
expected in the country next month for a
high-level world meeting on environ-
ment.
The country is set to host the rst ever
United Nations Environment Assembly
(Unea) in Nairobi from June 23 to 27.
United Nations Environment Pro-
gramme (Unep) Executive Director Achim
Steiner said the meeting is to be attended
by high-level delegations from over 160
UN member and observer states.
Mr Steiner noted that Ki-moon and the
President of the UN General Assembly are
set to attend the ve-day conference that
will bring together over 1,200 high-level
participants from government, business
and civil society.
We are aware of the security challeng-
es that Kenya as a country is facing. How-
ever, the challenge as a result of terrorism
is not only a Kenyan challenge but a chal-
lenge that is experienced by the rest of the
world, he said.
The Unep boss also said they had con-
dence in the security apparatus that
would be assigned to delegates and partic-
ipants in the conference.
Steiner was giving a Press brieng yes-
terday at a Nairobi hotel. He was accom-
panied by Martin Kimani, Kenyas ambas-
sador to Unep.
Judges say
the journalist
shouldnt be
arrested pending
hearing of case
senting Barasa, told the three
Appeal court judges that his
client was already a captive as
he could not travel to other na-
tions that are signatories to the
ICC Statute such as Uganda,
Tanzania and other East Afri-
can countries.
The Court of Appeal has
given conservatory orders re-
straining the Government from
arresting Barasa over alleged
interference with ICC cases.
Barasas case in court is that
he is innocent and the ICC
prosecutor should prove with
evidence that he indeed inter-
fered with witnesses before he
is extradited to The Hague.
BRIBING WITNESSES
The journalist is accused of
bribing witnesses in the trial of
Deputy President William Ru-
to, which is ongoing at the
ICC.
President Uhuru Kenyatta,
Ruto and former radio pre-
senter Joshua arap Sang are
facing crimes against human-
ity charges following violence
that rocked the country after
the 2007 presidential election.
Rights activist Okiya Omta-
tah is also involved in the mat-
ter as an interested party.
Mr Omtatah believes the
ICC does not fall anywhere in
the judicial organogram where
the Supreme Court is listed as
the highest court in Kenya.
He says the ICC prosecutor
has no jurisdiction in Kenya,
and therefore could not de-
mand the arrest and subse-
quent prosecution of Barasa.

NWSC disconnects Don Bosco sewer line
BY ISAAC MESO
Don Bosco Boys Technical
Institute has been closed in-
denitely after the Nairobi Wa-
ter and Sewerage Company
disconnected its water supply
over unpaid bill.
The Nairobi-based charita-
ble organisation owes the com-
pany over Sh2.9 million.
Speaking to The Standard,
the institutions manager Fa-
ther Sanjay Kizhakkinedath
Don Bosco said owing the dis-
connection; they were forced
to close down after the sewer
line was also disconnected.
We were forced to send
these needy students home
because we cannot operate
without a sewer connection,
he said.
The technical institute
cares for over 170 destitute
youths of which, 145 are board-
ers. It also offers computer
practical lessons to over 250
day scholars most of who are
from poor families.
Father Sanjay said the insti-
tution being a charitable or-
ganisation, it had been vetted
and certied for Tax exemption
by the Kenya Revenue Author-
ity (KRA) and thus they were
exempted from payments of
any other levies.
He said the institution re-
cently opened a sewer account
with NWSC and within a few
months they received a sewer
bill amounting to over Sh2.7
million.
The second bill which
came to our ofce on March 4
was amounting to Sh175,755.13
followed by the current one
dated May 6 which stands at
Sh75,000. The trend of the bill
sum is worrying and leaves a
lot of doubt as to the working
status of the Water Manage-
ment Authority that we highly
suspect to be faulty, said San-
jay.
When The Standard con-
tacted NWSC for comment
over the issue, our calls went
unanswered and by the time of
going to Press, we had not
managed to get a comment.
Knut threatens to sue TSC county bosses over threats
BY CHARLES NGENO
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut)
has threatened to take the Teachers Service Com-
mission (TSC) county directors to court for forc-
ing teachers to sign the National Social Security
Fund forms.
Knut acting Secretary General Charles Katege
said the union is totally opposed to the imple-
mentation of the NSSF Act because teachers are
not prepared for it and were never involved in
the drafting of the Act.
Speaking to The Standard yesterday, Mr Kat-
ege cautioned teachers against signing the forms
until when directed by the union leaders. He said
they have reports of county directors who have
been threatening disciplinary action against
teachers who fail to sign the NSSF forms.
Katege accused the Government of trying to
force the teachers to save for retirement yet they
do not care about the quality of life they live
now.
The Government cannot force teachers of
this country to save for the future when the qual-
ity of life we live now is poor. The Government
should rst guarantee the present before talking
about the future, he said.
He stated that before the teachers can even
contemplate joining the Fund, the Fund should
rst pay retired teachers who had joined it as Un-
trained Teachers (UT).

A long serving Orange Democratic

former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. He
died on Tuesday night in his home in
Kolol village, Elgeyo Marakwet County.
His younger brother and a retired
Chief Rashid Chebii said his sibling had

The day our goats
were driven away was
the same day I joined
school, he says
How raid turned herder
to a petroleum engineer
By BRIGID CHEMWENO
For Starlon Ikaal, 26, from Loko-
ri village in Turkana County, raiders
who struck his village in the 90s
while he was looking after his fa-
thers goats opened an opportunity
for him to go to school.
Starlon (right), now a petroleum
engineer working with Tullow Oil
Company, was born at a time when
the Turkana believed in cultural val-
ues where boys were trained to be
warriors, known as ngoroko in the
local dialect. Their task was to pro-
tect the community.
Unlike other children, Starlon
skipped nursery school and joined
Class ne when he was four years
old.
In an interview with The Stan-
dard, Starlon said the raiders struck
in the morning when he had just left
to tend his fathers goats.
THE ATTACK
When raiders from the neigh-
bouring community struck in the
morning, they drove away all our
goats leaving me with nothing to
look after. The same day our goats
were driven away by the raiders was
the same day I joined school, he
told The Standard.
He says he decided to go to
school since there was a playing
field where he could meet with most
of his age mates to play.
In reflection, he says if the raid-
ers had not taken their goats, he
could now be a ngoroko. After the
raiders took all the goats, Starlon
turned his focus on education and
now he is a jewel in his communi-
ty.
With the recent discovery of oil
in Ngamia-1 in Turkana County,
Starlon is a trailblazer as he is among
the first petroleum engineers in the
country.
When it was announced that oil
was discovered in Ngamia-1, a place
where I used to play with my friends,
I decided to pursue petroleum engi-
neering, Starlon said when The
Standard caught up with him in Tul-
low Oil Company offices in West-
lands.
When he realised that education
is the only powerful tool for him, the
third born in a family of four worked
hard in his studies. Although his
parents were not in a position to pay
his school fees, the church came to
his rescue.
SCHOOL RECORD
After completing his primary ed-
ucation in Katilu Primary School,
Starlon joined Katilu Boys Second-
ary where he scored a mean grade of
B+ (plus). He later went to Maseno
University where he studied Bache-
lor of Arts Science.
Even before his graduation from
Maseno University, he says he got a
job as a geochemist with Africa Oil
Corporation.
Upon completing his first de-
gree, he says he had hoped to do a
second degree but he did not have
funds.
After the discovery of oil in the
field I used to play, I felt that this
was a perfect chance for me to get
involved in the exploitation of the
resource and contribute to my
skills, he told The Standard during
the interview.
He says there are few petroleum
engineers in Kenya and he wanted
to encourage and nurture others to
take the career.
SCHOLARSHIPS ADVERT
He came across an advert for
scholarships by Tullow Oil Company
and decided to apply.
He emerged among the 10 stu-
dents who were picked for scholar-
ships and left to Manchester Univer-
sity in UK in 2012 to pursue a
masters degree in Petroleum Engi-
neering.
Two years later, Starlon is a back
to the country and he has rolled his
sleeves ready to offer his expertise.
Immediately he landed in Kenya
in February this year, he says he
went for a cleansing ceremony in his
Lokori village.
People in my community
always conduct a cleansing ceremo-
ny for those who go out of the com-
munity for a period of time. They
do so before you are accepted
back to the community, he
says.
Starlon could not forget
to narrate his experience
in the UK.
I had heard of cities
like London, New York,
Liverpool, Scotland,
among others, but the
scholarship opened
doors for me. I traversed
the whole UK and it was ex-
citing to interact with peo-
ple of different back-
grounds, he says.
For a Turkana boy
who trekked several ki-
lometres to school
with no shoes and
rose to become a Pe-
troleum Engineer,
Starlon is now an
inspiration to Tur-
kana people.
Besides oil ex-
ploration, I will
give my people
the ideas on how
to get out of pov-
erty and engag-
ing in business-
es. The livestock,
which were
their only
source of liveli-
hood, have died
of drought and
others were lost
in cattle raids.
Children are now
going to school in
Turkana and I
urge the Govern-
ment to build
more schools in
the region, said
Starlon.

Some Sh2.4 billion is required to

million girls. But girls may face even
Lack of pads pushes 22pc girls out of school
more challenges as the government
cuts down the allocation of funds for
sanitary pads by Sh80 million. Its bud-
getary allocation this year is Sh100
million for the project.
A baseline survey by Jielimishe
Girls Education Challenge (GEC)
project has revealed that 48 per cent
of girls are in school compared to 52
per cent of boys. The study however
highlights that there are regional dis-
parities with some counties having
only 20 per cent of girls in school com-
pared to 80 per cent boys.
The survey shows that if girls are
well mentored and exposed to posi-
inghting in the group as the cause of
the gun attack. Njenga said he will re-
veal more once he recovers from the
injuries he sustained in the ngers
and shoulder.
They are police who had been
trailing us. I will speak more and I will
continue to preach peace and Gods
gospel, said Njenga.
UNKNOWN PEOPLE
He said the attackers were about
seven and were all armed. He said he
still fears for his life at the hospital.
Njenga was moved to a city hospi-
tal where he is recuperating following
the incident in which his cars were
sprayed with bullets.
But he alongside his two associ-
ates miraculously survived the attack.
Those injured were Njenga, Evans Wa-
chira and George Mungai.
They were all travelling in the com-
pany of Njenga in two different vehi-
cles, which were shot at by unknown
people.
Njenga kin accuses police
of harassment in hospital
By CYRUS OMBATI
The family of former Mungiki lead-
er Maina Njenga (pictured) has ac-
cused police of harassing him while in
a Nairobi hospital.
Njengas brother Njoroge Kamu-
nya said yesterday police had tried to
force their way into the hospital ward
where he is admitted, seeking to re-
cord a statement from him concern-
ing Saturdays shooting.
Njenga recorded his statement at
the hospital in the company of his
lawyer Paul Muite. Kamunya said po-
lice went to the hospital on Tuesday
seeking to grill his brother despite the
fact that he is yet to recover.
We do not know why they want to
record a statement from someone
who is still sick. He recorded the state-
ment though, said Kamunya.
Njenga had an operation to re-
move a bullet that had been lodged in
his shoulder.
Njenga claimed the attackers were
police who were out to eliminate him.
He denied claims of inghting within
the group as the cause for his attack
and challenged police to arrest those
who behind the attack if they are gen-
uine and mean well.
Other ofcials said he was in a bul-
letproof vest at the time of the attack,
which perhaps explains his miracu-
lous survival. Interior Cabinet Secre-
tary Joseph ole Lenku instead blamed
Police probing alleged suicide
at Kenyatta National Hospital
By CYRUS OMBATI
Police are investigating an inci-
dent in which a man allegedly com-
mitted suicide by jumping from the
7th oor of Kenyatta National Hospi-
tal, Nairobi.
The man had been a patient at the
hospital before the incident hap-
pened. Police say they are investigat-
ing the matter to establish whether
the male patient was pushed or com-
mitted suicide.
Nairobi Deputy police boss Moses
Ombati said they have sent a team to
investigate the matter. It is not the
rst time that such an incident has
happened at the hospital and from
that oor. Police records indicate up
to three patients die every month in
similar circumstances.
Elsewhere, several people were on
Tuesday night left homeless after a
re gutted a section of Mukuru slums,
Nairobi. Police say no injury was re-
ported in the re that took long to
contain because of lack of accessibil-
ity. Those affected are asking for help
to rebuild their structures.
Meanwhile, a police ofcer was in-
jured after a matatu driver he was ar-
resting lost control of his vehicle and
rammed six others on Waiyaki Way,
Westlands.

tive portrayal of women, then they
will be motivated to stay in school.
Lack of fees (39 per cent) and san-
itary towels (22 per cent) is the major
reason why most girls drop out of
school, the report showed.
INHIBIT LEARNING
The GEC report indicates that in
Meru County, 72 per cent of the school
going children complete primary ed-
ucation. The report further indicated
that only 25 per cent of primary
schools and 27 per cent of secondary
schools provide sanitary towels in the
county.
While expenses in Mombasa
County are higher than in Meru and
Laikipia counties, girls in the area said
lack of sanitary towels inhibits their
learning. About 41 per cent of the girls
in the county reported that mentor-
ing is signicant for their stay in
school and 87 per cent had guidance
and counselling sessions.
Laikipia Education executive
member John Bosco expressed con-
cern on the budgetary allocation.
Speaking during a meeting in Nairobi,
Bosco said strict policies need to be
set for the county to ensure that girls
stop dropping out of school.
Laikipia is a cosmopolitan and
pastoralist county that requires prop-
er policies to enhance education es-
pecially for the girl child. Most schools
in the county lack boarding facilities,
said Bosco.
Ofcial: Lands ofce has
1,500 uncollected titles
County land bosses say
18,000 title deeds have
been given to squatters
living on various
settlement schemes
By RENSON MNYAMWEZI
Over 1,500 title deeds unveiled by
President Uhuru Kenyatta last year
are still lying at the Taita Taveta
County Lands registry uncollected, a
senior Ministry of Lands ofcial has
disclosed.
The countys Principal Registra-
tion Ofcer, Francis Orioki, said all
the title deeds belong to squatters
living on the controversial Taveta
Phase One and Two and Jipe
settlement schemes.
The Government bought more
than 15,000 acres from the National
Bank of Kenya after the land owner,
former MP Basil Criticos, defaulted
on a loan.
A total of 13,000 acres were
distributed to the landless in the
area while 2,000 more were allocated
to the county government for the
expansion of Taveta town.
Residents have often faulted the
issuing of titles, saying the docu-
ments contained too many errors.
MISSPELT NAMES
Appearing before the County
Assembly Committee on Lands
chaired by Bura-Maktau Ward Repre-
sentative Flumence Mshila, Mr
Orioki and Deputy Governor Mary
Kibuka said the county government
has so far distributed over 18,000
titles to squatters in the region.
We received 19,100 titles and out
of these, some 18,000 have been
given to squatters on settlement
schemes and adjudication sections,
Orioki said.
Ms Kibuka said most of the title
deeds had misspelt names and had
to be returned to the Ministry of
Lands registry.
She said in other instances,
people were allocated land already
occupied by squatters. There were
also cases of more than one person
being assigned the same land.
The committee also heard that
some beneciaries got two or three
land titles while others got none.
INCREASED TENSION
Mr Mshila told ofcials that
tension was still high in Taveta after
residents were locked out of the
settlement programme.
He said one person was shot
dead and scores of others seriously
injured when squatters clashed with
land beneciaries this year.
He said the land issue was very
emotive and needed extended
involvement and consultations
across the board at all levels.
The deputy governor told the
committee that the governor, John
Mruttu, and provincial administra-
tion ofcials had spearheaded the
distribution exercise.
We distributed titles in areas
where there were no land disputes.
Where we found issues, we retained
the documents until the wrangles
were adequately addressed, she told
the committee.
There were also reports that a
number of genuine squatters were
left out of the squatter settlement
programme, forcing the Government
to suspend the issuing of title deeds.
The committee took Kibuka and
the county Lands ofcials to task,
asking them to explain why they had
failed to submit their reports to the
committee.
You are the deputy governor and
you need to be a good role model.
Why didnt you submit your report
to the county assembly? If your
ofce continues to ignore the
assembly, action will be taken
against you, warned nominated
MCA Rachael Dawai.
PROGRESSIVE REPORT
Kibuka asked for forgiveness and
said she would henceforth comply
with the County Government Act
and the Constitution.
It is true that I have not
submitted my departments
progressive report to the county
assembly since I was appointed CEC
member in charge of the Lands
docket. On behalf of the Lands
ofce, I ask for forgiveness and
promise to comply, she said.

WHAT HAPPENED
Ofcials say not all
beneciaries were able to
receive their titles due to
certain anomalies
Some of the issues include
misspelt names, land
allocated to more than one
person and title deeds given
for land already occupied
The titles had to be
returned to the National
Lands registry for these
issues to be sorted out

MONEY: MP urges residents to
apply for the Uwezo Fund
Matuga MP, Hassan Mwanyoha,
has urged his constituents to apply
for nancing from the Uwezo Fund to
help them do business and improve
their living standards.
The era when citizens relied
on relief food is long gone. Both the
national and county governments
now have initiatives aimed at
empowering locals, he said.
Mwanyoha was addressing
residents at Tiwi market during a
public baraza yesterday.
He also directed that all
restrictions keeping his electorates
from accessing the funds should be
removed immediately.
As the patron of the committee
overseeing disbursement of the
Uwezo Fund, I will ensure that
residents benet from the Sh20
million allocated to this region, he
said.
ELECTIONS: IEBC rolls out
county civic voter education
The Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has
rolled out a civic voter education
programme in Kili schools to
educate students about voting
procedures in Kenya.
Ganze constituency IEBC co-
ordinator, Jacob Machekele, said he
had drawn up a programme to visit
both public primary and secondary
schools in the constituency.
Mr Machekele said many voters
who participate in the General
Election and by-elections make many
poll mistakes.
We have seen cases where
some voters fail to exercise their
democratic rights to elect leaders
of their choice just because they
committed a simple mistake. It is for
this reason that we have resolved to
deliver civic education, he said.
Machekele made the remarks at
Kilis Ganze Boys Secondary School
where he presided over the schools
students council polls.

council says all is vell
By KEPHER OTIENO
The Municipal Council of Kisumu
in conjunction with the trafc police
department has successfully locked
public transport out of the towns
centre.
Thanks to the combined forces,
no 14-seater matatu and boda boda
operates in the central business
district now.
And residents have praised the
effort, arguing sanity has been
restored in the CBD and trafc ow
was now smooth.
No matatus or boda bodas are
allowed to pick or drop passengers
at the CBD. The ban also applies to
tricycles and it has been in effect for
the past one week, though amid
protests.
Distances shortened
The authorities have also blocked
Oginga Odinga Avenue up to
Standard Chartered Bank junction to
ease trafc ow.
Passengers are now being
dropped at Jomo Kenyatta Highway
and trek to town.
The move follows successful
negotiations between the authority
and matatu operators whose
distances have now been cut short.
We are happy because the plans
have reduced our distance by
one-and-a-half kilometres, said a
matatu operator George Onyango.
According to the town authorities
the plan aims to decongest the city
and will remain in force until 2013.
Thereafter the council will
develop fresh plans to accommodate
the increased number of private cars
in town, a source from the council
said.
Already, the number of private
cars streaming in the town has
peaked and the trafc department
anticipates the gure will rise.
The councils enforcement ofcer
in charge of the trafc order Adrian
Ouma said they would not back
down on the move.
WIN-win situation
Eng Ouma said matatu owners
appreciated the directive because
they still charge the same bus fare
despite the distance being short-
ened.
It is a win-win situation, the
matatu operators have all the
reasons to smile same as the
council, he said, as he asked them
to co-operate.
Kisumu Mayor Sam Okello
thanked the residents for allowing
them to bring sanity within the CBD.
There have been complaints of
matatu disorder within the CBD,
which have been disrupting smooth
operations of businesses.
With the new measures in force
people can now go about their
business easily without disruptions
by blaring sounds.
Nyanza PPO Njue Njagi promised
to support the council to restore
sanity and warned that those who
resist change would be arrested and
charged.

The National Land Commission
(NLC) is in the process of constitut-
ing land control boards in all 47
counties to look into land matters at
county level.
NLC chairman Mohamed
Swazuri said they are going round
the counties conducting interviews
for applicants to take up board
positions.
The National Land Commission
is currently conducting interviews
for those who applied to sit on the
county land boards and who will
help the commission address land
issues, he said.
LAND BOSSES
Dr Swazuri said the land control
boards are set to replace the district
land control boards that were
chaired by district commissioners
and will assume their duties by July
Land body
to establish
county boards
this year.
The chairman made these
remarks at the Kili deputy gover-
nors ofce on Tuesday after he led
land commission ofcials in
conducting interviews for the
countys land board members.
Dr Swazuri said the land control
boards mandate will also include
assisting the commission in
addressing local land disputes.
Some land disputes do not need
to be taken to the commission
because they can be more easily
tackled at the county level. This is
why as a commission we are
compelled to set up land control
boards to help us devolve these
services to residents, he said.
Swazuri cautioned those
appointed to the boards against
enabling corrupt practices such as
land grabbing or appearing to favour
one side in the handling of disputes.
It is my sincere hope that those
mandated to look into land matters
at the counties will steer clear of
corruption and act with integrity in
government to strengthen the NLC
so that it could adequately address
land issues.
The Jubilee government needs
to fully support the lands commis-
sion by offering nancial support
and ensuring that it is adequately
staffed. This will ensure that all
pending land cases are dealt with
without further delay, he said.
Mungaro, who is also the Kili
North MP, noted with concern that
there are many squatters in his
constituency and said measures
need to be put in place to ensure
that such people are nally settled.
all their dealings, he said.
Leaders from the region, led by
coast parliamentary group chairman
Gideon Mungaro, have said they
support the move to put the county
land boards in place.
SUPPORT COMMISSION
Mr Mungaro said the direction
taken by NLC was a noble one,
adding that the parliamentary
committee had also suggested the
same.
Also speaking in Kili, Mungaro
said land was a thorny issue at the
coast. He urged the national
By JOSEPH MASHA
County government ofcials in
Kili have accused the national
government of reclassifying key
county roads in the area as national
assets and taking them over.
Yesterday, Kili County Executive
Committee Member in charge of
Public Works and Roads, Edmund
Saburi, disclosed that the Mazeras-
Kaloleni tarmac road, which is a
Class C county road, has been seized
by the national government and
renamed Class B.
COUNTY ROADS
Records from the Ministry of
Public Works and Transport
documented this change. This
alteration was made so that the
county road could fall under the
national government, he said.
Another road of concern to the
Kili government is the Mariakani-
Kaloleni-Mavueni road whose
rehabilitation is said to have slowed
down since being taken over by the
national government.
Yesterday, Kili Governor
Amason Kingi asked the Govern-
ment to devolve the management of
all roads found within each county
to the county governments.

NYS to put up Sh3b
training college
By RENSON MNYAMWEZI
A row has erupted
between residents of Mwatate
and Sagala locations in Taita
Taveta County over the
allocation of about 2,000
acres to the National Youth
Service (NYS) for construction
of a training institute.
Residents and leaders of
the two locations have
claimed ownership of the
land after the Government set
aside more than Sh3 billion to
build an NYS Training college
on it.
Sagala Ward Representa-
tive Godwin Kilele yesterday
claimed that the land belongs
to Teri B Group Ranch located
in his ward.
The land allocated to the
NYS belongs to Sagala
residents and not Mwatate as
claimed by other leaders. Why
did the Government allocate
this land without involving
us? Mr Kilele asked.
KEEP OFF
But in a quick rejoinder,
Mwatate Ward Representative
Arresmus Mwarabu main-
tained that the land in dispute
belonged to his people and
told his counterpart to keep
off.
He however admitted that
there has been a long-stand-
ing boundary dispute
between Mgeno grazers in
Mwatate and Teri B Ranch in
Voi district.
The land belongs to
Mwatate residents and
shrines found there are
physical evidence that the
land is ours. Politicians
Some 2,000 acres
have been aside for
the project that will
accommodate about
1,000 students
TAITA TAVETA COUNTY
should stop inciting residents
to invade this community
land, which is under trust by
the county government, Mr
Mwarabu said.
Mwarabu said the local
community had allocated the
2,000 acres for implementa-
tion of the NYS project.
He said NYS had agreed to
generate free solar power and
water for local public
institutions.
Recently, a senior NYS
ofcial, Captain Sam Mchuki,
said once complete, the new
building would accommodate
about 1,000 students.
Speaking during the
ground-breaking ceremony of
the mega project, Captain
Mchuki said 500 acres would
be set aside for tree planting
to improve forest cover in the
region.
We will introduce solar
technology to benet the
local community. This project
will spur economic develop-
ment in the region, he said.
Mchuki, who was accom-
panied by Governor John
Mruttu and Mwatate MP
Calist Mwatela, said the
mining industry was set to
ourish following establish-
ment of the training unit.
Having this project here
will ensure that the power
supply is more than enough
to support the mining
industry, he said.
BENEFIT RESIDENTS
Mruttu and Mwatela said
the project would benet the
local community in areas of
training, job opportunities
and economic growth.
The governor said NYS
would also rehabilitate roads,
which are currently in a
pathetic state, provide water,
education and health services
for the community and
control ooding in Taveta
district.
Many towns in the
country, such as Gilgil, have
been developed by NYS while
the institution has helped
deal with Budalangis ooding
problem. We are optimistic
that perennial ooding in
Taveta will be a thing of the
past once the project is
completed, Mruttu said.

An Industrial Court judge in Mombasa has
expressed dissatisfaction with the Kenya Ports
Authoritys (KPA) reluctance to pay retirement
benets to 62 former workers.
Justice Stephen Radido said this yesterday
when the case resumed after the retirees
appointed a new lawyer, Lucy Momanyi.
This is a small thing and KPA should have
paid up without engaging the retirees in a legal
battle, Justice Radido said.
Most of the former workers retired before
2003 and were originally employed by the
defunct Kenya Cargo and Handling rm that
merged with KPA in 1986.
KPA claims the suit led in 2003 is time
barred and alleges that many of the retirees are
not entitled to a pension.
The workers, led by Mwinyi Haji Ali
Mwizangu, have sued KPA demanding to be
paid their retirement benets. They claim the
management has been discriminating against
them hence their decision to seek redress in
court.
They said before Kenya Cargo Handling
merged with KPA in 1986, they had worked at
the rm for 18 years.
UNFAIR TREATMENT
They said during the merger, KPA absorbed
them under the same conditions and terms of
service as their former employer.
They said despite working as KPA workers
after the merger, the corporation refused to
include them in its pension scheme, which was
unfair and discriminatory.
In defence, KPAs legal ofcer Muthoni
Gatere opposed the application, arguing that
the retirees had led their case after the
one-year period when they were supposed to
have raised such issues had elapsed.

Union warns of
possible bleak outlook
for hotel workers

countries to their citizens. [PHOTO: FILE/STANDARD]
By TOBIAS CHANJI
The Kenya Union of Domestic,
Hotel, Education Institutions,
Hospitals and Allied Workers
(Kudheiha) has said there is a
possibility of more workers being
laid off due to a continued decrease
in the number of tourists visiting the
region.
Coast region is facing an
unprecedented slump in tourism
brought on by the traditional low
season and travel advisories issued
by Western countries.
The warning came from Kud-
heiha Secretary for Kwale and
Mombasa counties, Zack Osore, who
was speaking to The Standard yester-
day at Diani Sea Resort after a
meeting with Kenya Association of
Hotel Keepers and Caterers (KAHC)
Coast chapter under the Dispute
Committee umbrella.
By end of this month we will
have a lot of people, employed on
contract terms, laid off. This is not
the employers wish but is due to the
situation at hand, he said.
COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY
He said most hotels categorised
employees in three ways perma-
nent, contract and casuals. The total
number of workers in these three
categories is 8,500 for Mombasa and
Kwale counties while employees on
contract number about 3,000.
Mr Osore said Kwale County has
about 1,200 casuals who have
already been laid off, adding that the
number could be higher because
this gure refers to those who have
been documented by the union.
We are urging our members not
to blame the situation on their
employers. This is a national disaster
and we all must take collective
responsibility, sit down and talk to
arrive at a solution, Osore said.
Some of the measures that
Kudheiha wants the Government to
implement include reducing, by 60
per cent, VAT and any other tax
currently attached to tourism.
It also wants a two-year extension
of President Kenyattas temporary
ban on landing fees.
We want to tell the national
government that our people are
losing their jobs due to insecurity.
We have already started to work on
modalities of handling this advocacy
programme, he said.
Osore urged the Government to
negotiate with Western nations that
had issued travel advisories against
visiting Kenya, saying tourists from
the West were irreplaceable.
He however noted that hotels
might end up doing well in August
due to conferences and family tours
brought about by the August school
holidays.
Offcial said employees on contract terms are
likely to be laid off due to a continued decrease
in the number of tourists visiting the region

ANTHONY GITONGA
The Transition Authority (TA)
has challenged county govern-
ments to provide designs and
allocate funding for civic educa-
tion at the grassroots level.
TA chairman Kinuthia Wam-
wangi says with the transfer of
many functions to counties,
Kenyans have a constitutional
right to be actively involved in the
management of devolved govern-
ments
Our Constitution requires
public participation in governance
processes. By providing for public
participation as a national value
and principle of governance, it
demonstrates the need for citizens
to be aware of their roles and
responsibilities to enable them
participate, Wamwangi said.
CIVIL SOCIETY
He said the authority, together
with civil society groups and other
stakeholders have already
developed the national framework
for civic education and it was now
up to counties to enact their legal
framework for the same.
I would like to request
counties to budget adequately for
civic education at all levels. I also
appeal to the national government
to budget for capacity building on
the same so that we can be able to
roll out the exercise as soon as
TA tells counties to do civic education
possible, the chairman said.
Wamwangi was addressing
stakeholders at a retreat to review
the civic education curriculum on
devolution and public participation
and review of information, educa-
tion and communication materials
held at Waterbuck Hotel in Nakuru
County.
He challenged county govern-
ment to recognise the role of civil
society groups in civic education
and avoid situations where the
programme would be made a
stand-alone function in departments
within their counties.
Wamwangi said lack of civic
education had led to rejection of a
large number of laws formulated by
county assemblies.
A large number of Bills passed by
the county assemblies were
challenged in court due to lack of
public participation owing to delay
in rolling out civic education on
time, said the chairman.
ONE WEEK
Wamwangi said with the transfer
of many functions of the national
Government to counties, there was
an immediate need for civic
education to be rolled out. He said
the national and county govern-
ments had agreed to transfer the
road function to the counties within
the next one week and that TA was in
the process of concluding auditing
and sharing of assets between the
two levels of government.
On the controversy surrounding
the employment of Early Childhood
Education (ECD) teachers between
the TSC and Knut, Wamwangi said
the function is supposed to be under
the county governments.
Meanwhile, evangelical bishops
in the country have expressed
concern over the misuse of power at
the national and county levels.
Addressing the Press after a
two-day workshop at Sentrim Lodge
in Gilgil, the over 50 clerics under
the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya
called for the enactment of laws to
curb the vice.
The alliance chairman Bishop
Mark Kariuki called on MPs,
senators and MCAs to exercise
powers within the law. Kariuki
identied the ongoing impeachment
of governors by MCAs as a worrying
trend adding that there was more in
the whole process.
The church is concerned about
governance at both the national and
county levels, particularly the abuse
of power, he said.
Kariuki condemned corruption
terming it as evil and called on the
Government to do more in address-
ing it.
Corruption is evil whether in the
Government or out and we take this
opportunity to condemn it and ask
for stringent measures, he said.
LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT
He noted that the country was
experiencing a host of challenges
including insecurity, terrorism,
nepotism and drug abuse.
Kariuki called on the Government
and the opposition to exercise
civility and humility in tackling the
challenges facing the country.
There is a legitimate govern-
ment in place which has the
mandate to protect the constitution
and the people of Kenya, he said.
The alliance also called on
politicians across the country to
avoid hate speech, noting that this
was likely to incite people to
violence.
Kariuki said the planned rallies
by CORD should not be used to
cause anarchy and advised the youth
not to be used to cause violence.
On security, the church leaders
supported the Nyumba Kumi
imitative and called on Kenyans to
support the idea.
All Kenyans should embrace
security issues including the
Nyumba Kumi initiative and report
any suspicious persons to the
police, he said.
He called for a national dialogue
that would include all leaders so as
to articulate the issues that are
affecting the nation.

NAKURU COUNTY
IMPEACHMENT: Murkomen
vows to oppose Kindikis Bill
Senate Devolution Committee
chairman and Elgeyo Marakwet
Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, has
declared he will not support Senates
Majority Leader Kithure Kindikis
proposed draft Bill on impeachment
of governors.
Murkomen said though the
majority leader is yet to properly
put his proposals down in writing,
he would vehemently oppose moves
to clip powers of Members of County
Assemblies (MCAs) to remove
governors from ofce.
I would like to say in no uncertain terms that I oppose
proposals to reduce the powers of MCAs in the removal of
governors, said Murkomen.
Speaking on Chamgei FMs Crossre programme,
Murkomen said he was one of the key players in the
County Governments Act task force and pointed out that
in Article 145 of the Constitution, the procedure for the
removal of a governor is the same as that of the president
and the deputy president.
Therefore there is no need to review the law. What is
needed is to follow the law to the letter and ensure there
is no abuse of power, he said, adding that the law can be
amended to give senate power to determine whether an
impeached governor can hold public ofce.

A son of a former Provincial
Commissioner (PC) has moved to
the High Court in Nakuru seeking
redistribution of his fathers
wealth, following a ght over it
with the mother.
Arnold Kemboi has objected
the distribution of Timothy Sirma
estate by his mother claiming
Rose Jerono Sirma obtained grant
of administration fraudulently by
allegedly failing to disclose the
full status of their fathers estate.
In documents led before
Justice Roselyne Wendoh, the son
said there was need to redistrib-
ute the estate afresh to enable the
beneciaries share the wealth
equitably.
The former Coast PC died
seven years ago and his widow
was issued with grants and letters
of administration on August 2008.
Among the properties are two
parcels of land in Baringo County,
shares at Kimamoi Teweret
Limited and Sinendet Multi-
purpose Co-operative Society.

Baringo Governor Benjamin
Cheboi
By ROBERT KIPLAGAT
Baringo Governor
Benjamin Cheboi has blamed
inadequate number of
security personnel and
competition for water and
pasture among the pastoral
communities for escalating
insecurity.
The county has lately
witnessed increased cases of
insecurity, especially in
Marigat where over 10 houses
were torched by suspected
herders from neighbouring
communities displacing 326
residents in a suspected
retaliatory attack.
Governor Cheboi, who
spoke when he met former
councillors from Pokot and
Ilchamus communities over
insecurity, decried insuf-
cient security personnel in
the county despite it being a
rustling hotspot.
Cheboi, said as the county
policing initiative, they had
decided to reach out to
former councillors whom he
said, had touch on the
ground, in a bid to nd
solutions to the now frequent
insecurity.
SCHOOL DROPOUT
The major cause of
insecurity in Baringo is the
battle for resources for
livestock such as water and
pasture which we are set to
address through drilling of 70
boreholes in Baringo North,
Marigat and East Pokot by
Japan International Coopera-
tion Agency, said Cheboi.
Cheboi said apart from the
boreholes, his government
was working on projects such
as water pans and dams for
Residents complain of snake bites
Governor attributes
insecurity to shortage
of security personnel
irrigation across the county to
end hunger that had forced
migration of pastoralists thus
creating conicts.
He regretted the recent
insecurity incident and called
on the national Police Service
to deploy more personnel to
rustling-prone areas in the
county to guarantee the
security of civilians who have
lost loved ones and property
to bandits.
Despite the escalating
insecurity, the number of
security personnel has
remained minimal and are
outnumbered by the rustlers
who are always heavily
armed, he said.
The Governor also raised
concern over the high rate of
illiteracy among pastoral
communities. He said many
young people were dropping
out of school and joining
gangs that are responsible for
the archaic rustling activities.

Residents of Kerio valley in
Elgeyo Marakwet County have
expressed concern over increased
cases of snake bites in the region.
Over 80 per cent of wildlife
attack cases in the area are snake
bites with five people reported to
have recently died as a result of the
slithering reptiles while others are
nursing serious wounds.
The situation has been aggra-
vated by lack of anti-venom
vaccine at local health facilities in
the region, forcing the victims to
travel to far-away medical centres
for treatment.
Consequently, residents have
petitioned the local county
government to ensure all health
facilities are adequately stocked
with anti venoms to combat the
predicament.
Mariko Yego, a resident of
Marakwet East, survived a black
mamba bite at his farm but had his
leg amputated. He was attacked by
the poisonous serpent while tilling
his farm at the Elgeyo escarpment.
DRY LEAVES
Standard after receiving Sh50,000
compensation cheque from Kenya
Wildlife Service.
He was rushed to the local
health centre but the anti-venom
was out of stock and by the time he
reached Moi Teaching and Referral
hospital in Eldoret, the poison had
paralysed his leg and doctors
recommended an immediate
surgery that saw his right leg

BARINGO COUNTY
amputated.
The victims are, however,
lamenting that Sh200,000 and
Sh50,000 given by KWS as com-
pensation for death and injury
respectively are too little.
My case, for instance, is
terminal because one of my legs
has been amputated and Sh50,000
given to me is too little to help me
live a normal live like I used before
the attack, he said.
Local KWS warden Dominic
Kilonzo confirmed that the region
harbours some of the worlds
deadliest snakes in its rocky and
shrubby escarpments and are
actually the leading source of
human-wildlife conflicts.
He urged the residents to keep
their surroundings clean.
It had camou-
flaged itself on the dry
leaves on my farm but
as I was passing by I
felt a sharp pain on
my leg. I screamed
loudly when I saw the
snake slither away and
neighbours rushed
immediately and
found me uncon-
scious, Yego told The

Violence broke out yesterday at
the Nakuru-based Rift Valley
Institute of Science and Technology
((RVIST) as students demonstrated
after it emerged that one of their
colleagues had been raped and
brutally injured by unknown
assailants.
The irate students blocked the
busy Nakuru-Eldoret highway at the
Ngata Bridge section, demanding
justice for their assaulted colleague
lamenting that most of them had
been attacked and robbed of their
valuables at the 2KM notorious
stretch connecting the institution
and the highway.
Sylvester Kibet, a student leader,
told The Standard they had received
reports at 9pm the previous night
that a student had been raped at the
bridge.
He said they rushed there and
found the rst-year girl writhing in
pain and her torn clothes thrown
metres away. She was naked and
could not speak.
COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION
We found her crying and
confused. She was naked and
traumatised. We then realised she
had been raped and that is when we
informed the police and college
administration before she was
rushed to hospital, said Kibet.
The irate students demanded
that the county government, in
conjunction with the institution
Riots after frst-year student raped
erect security lights along the
notorious bridge as students who
live outside campus are always in
immense danger.
Police engaged the hundreds of
students in running battles for
hours. The rioting students blocked
the road for 30 minutes causing a
huge trafc snarl-up.
A lorry transporting beer was hit
and badly damaged by the students
during the fracas but police arrived
before its contents could spill.
They targeted matatus and
lorries. We thought it would be a
peaceful demonstration but they
(students) seemed to be up to
something different. They paralysed
businesses and I fear they might
even have injured some people,
said Michael Malomalo, a resident in
the neighbourhood.
Police lobbed tear gas canisters
and used live bullets to disperse the
demonstrators who regrouped and
threw back stones at the ofcers
before more ofcers were called in.
IN TURNS
Nakuru OCPD Benard Kioko, who
led the anti-riot team, said he had
arrested more than 40 demonstra-
tors but expected the number to go
up as the ushing out continued.
Students should desist from
engaging in unlawful strikes. There
are better avenues to express
displeasure other than blocking the
highway that is the lifeline of Africa.
Students should be careful at night.
Those arrested will be arraigned in
court to answer to several charges,
said Kioko.
RVIST Chief Principal Eddy
Koimet, who tried to stop the
students from matching to the
highway in vain, declined to speak to
the press.
The Principal did not support us
in the demonstration although he is
alive to the magnitude of the matter.
We expected him to be on the
forefront since rape can happen to

By PETER OCHIENG and
WILBERFORCE NETYA
Five people, among them two
Administration Police ofcers, have
been killed in clashes at Kalimurok,
Turkana South District.
More than 3,000 animals were
allegedly stolen during the incident.
The heavily armed bandits made
away with a submachine gun and
three G3 rifes from the dead
ofcers.
Area MP James Lomenen said the
attackers raided several homes and
later stormed Kalimurok trading
centre.
I am wondering when this kind
of primitivity among our communi-
ties will come to an end. We as
leaders of Turkana and Pokot
communities came up with
solutions to cattle rustling and
border conicts but some people
betrayed us, said Lomenen
IG VISITED
These incidents are still
happening because some people
who were against the meetings
between the two communities have
selsh interests. What makes me
wonder is that the incident hap-
pened even after Inspector General
David Kimaiyo visited the area and
assured residents that the security
situation will be improved, he
added.
The MP regretted that the
targeted areas were the same ones
where Kimaiyo had recently

The KPR who have been protect-
ing the residents from such attacks
do not have repower like the
enemies, he said.
The IG was recently quoted
cautioning KPR ofcers from
misusing rearms.
Area OCPD Paul Kuria said police
had launched investigations into the
incident.
A combined contingent of
ofcers has been deployed on the
ground, especially in areas that were
attacked. We are hopeful that we
will bring to book the perpetrators
and even recover the guns that
include a powerful HK11 subma-
chine gun, said Mr Kuria.
We have enough security
ofcers on the ground including
GSU personnel. We want to tell
worked in cahoots with illicit
brewers thus promoting the vice
instead of curbing it.
He pointed out that the chiefs,
from Pokot Central, North and West,
were also conducting the illicit brew
trade through other people thus
making it hard to apprehend those
behind production of brews.
They were alerting other
perpetrators in case of an imminent
police swoop, said Okwanyo.
Kenyans that we are not going to
relent until we get to the core of the
matter, he stressed.
ILLICIT BREWS
Meanwhile, four chiefs in West
Pokot County have been sacked for
allegedly abetting production and
consumption of illicit brews in their
areas of jurisdiction.

commissioner who sacked the four,

A section of Maasai women from
Elangata Wuas, Kajiado Central, has
beneted from hay preservation
training courtesy of the United
Nations.
Elangata Wuas Women Group,
with 79 members have, for the past
one month, undergone hay preser-
vation training courtesy of Food and
Agriculture Organisation of United
Nations.
Unlike before where the Maasai
community viewed search for
pasture and water as a duty of men
these women deed the odds and
turned up for the hay preservation
training, saying they are the ones
who are affected the most during the
movements.
SUFFER MOST
We as women are the ones who
suffer the most during droughts as
our husbands go away for days and
sometimes months leaving us
guarding homes and nursing
children. The movement is very
expensive and leaves us with little to
eat as they have to cater for the
expenses, said Nairesiai Rupante,
the group chairperson.
The women say sometimes when
their husbands and sons go looking
for pasture, they incur a lot of losses
as some cattle die along the way.
Migrating to a home means you
ought to have temporary shelter and
other necessities that you would
otherwise not require if you had
some hay to sustain livestock. A
herder further has to hire more
labour for security of their animals
due to fear of the unknown. We are
therefore suffering back at homes as
women, adds Nasieku Saruni, a
member.
FAO assistant representative
Robert Allport said the training is
geared towards empowering the
Maasai community by ensuring they
take drought mitigation measures.
Compressing hay using a wood box
is one of the techniques they learnt.

Farmers in Bomet want the
Government to investigate the
authenticity of the maize seeds
supplied by Kenya Seed for planting
in the region.
The farmers said there was
reason to worry after their crops
failed for four consecutive seasons.
Speaking in Bomet, the farmers
from Chebirir location in Chepal-
ungu, led by John Langat, said they
suspect the viral disease affecting
their crops could have been caused
by the seeds they were supplied
with.
LASTING SOLUTION
It is high time the Government
rose to the occasion and took the
issue with a lot of seriousness so
that a lasting solution can be found
for the Maize Lethal Necrosis
Disease, said Langat.
The more than 50 farmers said
failure to avail a resistant variety
would mean nding a lasting
solution for the viral disease
remains an illusion.
When the disease broke out we
did not harvest anything and for
two seasons the crops performance
improved but this time round the
severity of the disease is worse than
the rst time. We suspect we were
supplied with the same seeds we
had been supplied with when the
disease broke out, said Langat.

To start you off,
here is one of the
letters.
By Rosy Russell
All rows, columns and 3 by 3 grids
(dened by bold lines ) have the
numbers 1 to 9 appearing only once.
Some of the numbers have been en-
tered. Complete the whole table by
inserting the correct numbers.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Communication skills are in demand to-
day as you may be requested to speak
for the company or deal with the public.
Your co-worker friends may become very
close to you, almost like family.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Your directional abilities are in high fo-
cus. Others may slow you down from
time to time by pulling you into conver-
sations, but your mind is on whatever
project you have set up for yourself.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
This is a time when you will find a per-
sonal relationship is on solid ground.
Expressing affections or appreciation
should be simple. These good vibrations
can do much for your disposition.
Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
There could be difficulties to work
through today. It is important during this
time to effectively communicate your
ideas, especially those who are ultra-
sensitive. You will become alert to any
thinking that needs to be changed.
Aries (Mar 21 - May 20)
Some may find you especially witty and
eccentric. Others value you for your in-
dependence. Your objectivity comes in
handy when you are called on to be me-
diator where someone else has failed.
Cancer
(June 22 - July 22)
You and everyone you know seem to be
in a good mood today and a sense of hu-
mour is not far behind. Some technical
method or style of working may come to
your attention that keeps you thinking
about continued education.

This is a time for serious thinking. Taking
care of the necessary underpinnings of life
health, work and suchbecome a greater
preoccupation. School and studies of all
kinds could be in order.
Virgo
(Aug 23 - Sept 23)
There is new energy available for profession-
al endeavors. This is a time of good fortune
when things open up in a very natural way.
New people in your life make it very easy to
see which path you will want to take.
Libra
(Sept 24 - Oct 23)
Things may seem magical in the way they
work out today. This is a great time to organ-
ise and get things accomplished. It is certain-
ly a time when material things have a great
deal of importance.
Scorpio
(Oct 24 - Nov 22)
An emotionally charged drama will be ex-
perienced in the realm of law, politics, edu-
cation, travel or religion. You could be most
persuasive with others and may add a great
deal of calming energies to an intense de-
bate or disagreement.
Sagittarius
(Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You can work effectively behind the scenes
where distractions are minimal. Circum-
stances may require the use of your knowl-
edge and persuasive communication skills.
This could offer you the best opportunity to
exercise your own personal power.

NEWS OF THE
Sisi in landslide win, faces
economic challenges
Sisi is seen by supporters as a strong gure who can end the turmoil that has engulfed Egypt for three years since the
revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in power. [PHOTO: REUTERS]
CAIRO, Thursday
Former Egyptian army chief Ab-
del Fattah al-Sisi won a landslide vic-
tory in a presidential election but a
low turnout may have deprived him
of the strong mandate he needs to x
the economy and face down an Isla-
mist insurgency.
Sisi won 93.3 per cent of votes
cast, judicial sources said, with most
ballots counted after three days of
voting. His only rival, leftist politi-
cian Hamdeen Sabahi, gained 3 per
cent while 3.7 per cent of votes were
declared void.
But a lower-than-expected turn-
out gure raised questions about the
credibility of a man idolised by his
supporters as a hero.
The stakes are high for Sisi in a
country where street protests have
toppled two leaders in three years.
Since a series of television inter-
views he gave ahead of the vote,
many Egyptians feel Sisi has not
spelled out a clear vision of how he
would tackle Egypts problems, in-
stead making a general call for peo-
ple to work hard and be patient.
VOTER APATHY
He has presented vague plans to
remedy the economy, suffering from
graft, unemployment, and a widen-
ing budget decit aggravated by fuel
subsidies that could cost nearly $19
billion in the next scal year.
All in all the weak turnout will
make it harder for Sisi to impose
painful economic reforms that inter-
national institutions and investors
are demanding, said Anna Boyd, an
analyst at London-based IHS Janes.
Investors want Sisi to end energy
subsidies, impose a clear tax regime
DUBAI, Thursday
Sudan turned down an Iranian
offer to set up air defences on its Red
Sea coast after a 2012 air strike Khar-
toum blamed on Israel, fearing they
would upset Irans regional rival Sau-
di Arabia, Sudans foreign minister
was quoted to have said.
In an interview with the Saudi-
owned al-Hayat newspaper that
seemed aimed at improving frosty
ties with Riyadh, Ali Karti played
down Khartoums links to Iran and to
the Muslim Brotherhood, which is
outlawed in Saudi Arabia.
Iran, in truth, offered to set up
air defence platforms on the Western
coast of the Red Sea after the latest
Israel raid, but Sudan rejected that
because this would require Iranian
arms experts on the ground, Karti
said during a recent visit to Saudi
Arabia, al Hayat reported.
We rejected that because it is an
Iranian presence against Saudi Ara-
bia, something which we do not ac-
cept, he added.
The 2012 air strike killed four
people and partially destroyed an
arms factory in Khartoum. Sudan
blamed Israel, which did not re-
spond to the accusations.
Israeli ofcials have in turn ac-
cused Sudan of funnelling weapons
from Iran to the Islamist Palestinian
group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Iranian ofcials were not imme-
diately available for a comment on
Kartis comments.
Sunni-powerhouse Saudi Arabia,
a key regional ally of the United
States, has been locked in a contest
with non-Arab Shiite power Iran for
inuence in the Middle East.
The rivalry has effectively divided
the region into two camps, with
countries either allied to Saudi Ara-
bia or to Iran.
Sudan has been entangled in a
complex web that put it at odds with
Saudi Arabia when the worlds top oil
exporter tried to shore-up Egypts
military-backed government in its
struggle with the Muslim Brother-
hood after the army ousted Islamist
President Mohamed Mursi from
power last year.
Sudanese media have said Karti
travelled to Saudi Arabia two weeks
ago for talks with Saudi Foreign Min-
ister Prince Saud al-Faisal to ties be-
tween the two countries.
Reuters
Sudan declined Iran air defence offer after attack
Friday, May 30, 2014
But critics silently
dismiss the results as a
farce and planned to
favour one man
and give guidance on the direction
of the exchange rate.
Turnout was about 46 per cent of
Egypts 54 million voters, the govern-
ment said, less than the 40 million
votes, or 80 per cent turnout that Si-
si had called for last week.
It was also less than the 52 per
cent turnout secured in the 2012
presidential election by Mohamed
Morsi, the Islamist leader Sisi ousted
last year after mass protests.
Many Egyptians stayed at home
due to political apathy, opposition to
another military man becoming
president, discontent at suppression
of freedoms among liberal youth,
and calls for a boycott by Islamists.
These elections were just an act,
a farce, said Mahmoud Ibrahim, 25,
a resident of the sprawling Imbaba
district who did not vote.
Turnout was low, but the media
will lie to the people, all for the sake
of the one man.
The stock market, which fell 2.3
per cent on Wednesday as some play-
ers said the turnout was a disappoint-
ment, closed down 3.45 per cent yes-
terday, after Treasury approved a 10
per cent tax on stock market prots.
On the black market, the Egyptian
pound weakened slightly.
Mohamed El Sewedy, chairman
of the Federation of Egyptian Indus-
tries, said, however: The business
community is happy about the re-
sults. We need real reform and a guy
with courage to take decisions.
SECURE ECONOMY
Sisi is seen by supporters as a
strong gure who can end the tur-
moil that has convulsed Egypt for
three years since the revolution that
ousted Hosni Mubarak after 30 years
in power. Critics fear Sisi will be an-
other autocrat who will preserve the
armys interests, quash hopes of de-
mocracy and mess the economy.
Sisi enjoys the backing of the
armed forces and the Interior Minis-
try, as well as businessmen who
thrived under Mubarak and are still
highly inuential.
Sisi also has the support of Saudi
Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
and Kuwait, which see Mursis Mus-
lim Brotherhood as an existential
threat. Gulf Arab states pumped bil-
lions of dollars into Egypt to keep the
economy aoat.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia can work
together to face threats, either inter-
nally like the Muslim Brotherhood,
or externally like Iran and its sup-
porters in the area, said Moham-
med Zulfa, a member of Saudi Ara-
bias Shura Council, an appointed
body that advises the government.
I think the Saudis will do all they
can to support Sisi now he has been
elected as he was supported by the
Egyptian people, he added.

JOBURG: SA judge orders
ruling on apartheid killer
A South African judge has ordered the
justice ministry to decide within 30 days
whether to grant parole to the former
head of a covert police unit that tortured
and killed dozens of people during
white rule. Judge Thokozile Masipa
ruled Wednesday in the case of Eugene
de Kock, who confessed to murder and
other crimes and was sentenced to life
in prison. He has been in jail since 1994,
when apartheid ended. De Kock says he
acted on instructions from leaders who
were never punished. His lawyer, Julian
Knight, says the government has violated
de Kocks rights by delaying a decision on
his parole request.

MERS virus rises to 186
Saudi Arabias Health Ministry says 13
people have died over the last two weeks

The ministry says 186 people have died from
the virus since it was discovered in 2012.
The ministry said late Wednesday another
565 people had contracted the virus in Saudi

NICOSIA, Thursday
Cypruss rst Gay Pride march on
Saturday will show the lack of legal
rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender citizens 16 years after ho-
mosexuality was decriminalised.
Gay couples in Cyprus do not have
the same rights to social housing and
other benets as heterosexuals and
miss out on other entitlements such
as being consulted over medical treat-
ment if a partner is ill.
Nothing has happened to im-
prove the legal rights of LGBT since
1998, said Costas Gavrielides, head of
Accept LGBT Cyprus, a group repre-
senting some 700 people.
He said government, elected in
early 2013, had still not made good on
a campaign pledge to submit legisla-
tion to allow gay civil partnerships to
parliament within a year.
We are strongly pushing for this
to materialise ... We believe that soci-
ety has moved on much more than
politicians, Gavrielides said, adding
that many heterosexual supporters
were also expected to join the march
through the capital Nicosia.
TABOO SUBJECT
Some sections of Cypriot society
still consider homosexuality taboo,
and the islands conservative Ortho-
dox Church has described it as an ill-
ness which needs treatment.
The Churchs ruling body said in a
recent statement that it opposed the
institutional and social acceptance
of homosexuality, which was not a
normal way of life.
A religious group said it plans a
counter march on Saturday.
Cyprus only repealed laws crimi-
nalising homosexuality in 1998, ve
years after a lone activist won a judge-
ment against the country from the Eu-
ropean Court of Human Rights.
Authorities in the islands Turkish
Cypriot north, a self-declared state
recognised only by Ankara, repealed a
similar law left over from British colo-
nial times in February. A gay pride
march was held there on May 17.
The International Gay and Lesbian
Association (ILGA) ranks Cyprus
among the lowest of all European
countries for rights extended to the
LGBT community.

BEIJING, Thursday
Chinas suggested the US had fab-
ricated evidence to underpin accusa-
tions of cyber attacks and had incited
Chinas neighbors to stir up trouble
in disputed waters.
The strongly comments by the de-
fence ministry come as relations be-
tween the worlds two largest econo-
mies are increasingly strained by a
row over cyber-espionage. The United
States last week accused ve Chinese
military ofcers of hacking into US
companies to steal trade secrets.
Asked about proof behind the US
allegations, ministry spokesman Geng
Yansheng said it would be easy for the
United States to fabricate evidence.
In the eld of Internet technology
and infrastructure, the US is blessed
with an advantage, so fabricating
some so-called evidence is certainly
no hardship, spokesman Geng Yan-
sheng told a brieng, according to a
statement on the ministrys website.
FORMENT TROUBLE
Geng compared US evidence for
Chinese cyberspying to allegations
produced by Washington in 2003, that
Baghdad held weapons of mass de-
struction, to justify the invasion of
Iraq. Those allegations proved to be
unfounded.
The international community has
not seen the USs so-called proof,
theyve only seen the massive conict
and hardship endured by the people
of Iraq, he said.
Geng also said President Barack
Obamas pivot of military assets to
Asia was to blame for stirring up new
troubles in the South China and East
China seas.
After the US took up the Asia re-
balancing strategy, some countries
took advantage of its power to behave
recklessly, stirring up new troubles in
territorial disputes, he said.
Territorial rows have strained sev-
eral of Chinas key diplomatic rela-
tionships, including those with Viet-
nam, the Philippines and Japan.
Japan said this week that Chinese
aircraft had come within a few dozen
metres of its warplanes in the East
China Sea where both countries claim
a string of uninhabited islands ad-
ministered by Tokyo.

ISLAMABAD, Thursday
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif has demanded to know why
police apparently stood by while a
pregnant woman was stoned to
death by her family in front of one of
the countrys top courts.
Farzana Iqbal, 25, was attacked
on Tuesday, police said, because she
had married the man she loved.
Sharif had taken notice of the
brutal killing in the presence of po-
lice, his press ofce said in a state-
ment, adding that a totally unac-
ceptable crime had to be dealt with
promptly by law.
I am directing the chief minister
to take action and a report must be
submitted by this evening to my of-
ce, it said, quoting Sharif.
Iqbals husband said that police
did nothing during the 15 minutes
the violence lasted outside Lahore
High Court.
ARRANGED MARRIAGES
I begged them to help us but
they said, this is not our duty, Mu-
hammed Iqbal told Reuters. I took
off my shirt (to be humble) and
begged them to save her.
In parts of Pakistan, a largely
Muslim nation of 180 million people,
women are expected to agree to ar-
ranged marriages and refusal can
mean an honour killing.
Many Pakistani families think it
dishonourable for a woman to fall in
love and choose her own husband.
But Lahore police chief Shaq
Ahmad said no police were present.
They arrested the father, the main
accused, a few moments after the in-
cident, he said. ... by the time po-
lice reached the scene, the lady had
been murdered.
Police initially said Farzana had
been stoned, but Iqbal told Reuters
that relatives had swung bricks, not
thrown them.
All the suspects, except the father,
Friday, May 30, 2014 / The Standard NEWS OF THE WORLD / Page 49
who has been detained, have disap-
peared. A police ofcer on Tuesday
quoted the father as saying it had
been an honour killing.
The 25-year-old had offended her
family by marrying Iqbal instead of
a cousin selected for her.
Honour killings are common in
Pakistan, but the brutality of this
case caused outrage around the
world, although in Pakistan itself re-
action was more muted - in stark
contrast to the public grief and out-
rage caused by the gang rape and
murder of a 23-year-old woman in
neighbouring India in 2012.
In the capital Islamabad, about
40 activists protested against brutal-
ity agianst women, shouting Hang
the killers of Farzana! and We dont
accept this injustice.
Violence against women is on
the rise. Women are being killed in
the name of honour, said Farzana
Bari, an activist.
The criminal justice system
doesnt work. This very incident was
very brutal. Police were there and the
poor woman was killed.
In Lahore, police said her father,
two brothers and a former ance
were among the attackers.
Muhammad Aurangzeb, Farza-
nas 20-year-old stepson, described
how one relative had tried to shoot
her, then grabbed her head scarf,
causing her to fall over.

SLOVYANSK, Thursday
Rebels in Ukraine shot down a
government military helicopter amid
heavy ghting around the eastern

including a general, Ukraines leader
said.
Acting President Oleksandr
Turchynov told the parliament in Ki-
ev that rebels used a portable air de-
fense missile Thursday to down the
helicopter and said Gen Volodymyr
Kulchitsky was among the dead.
Slovyansk has become the epi-
centre of ghting between pro-Rus-
sia insurgents and government forc-
es in recent weeks. Located 160km
from the Russian border, it has seen
constant clashes and its residential
areas have often come under mortar
shelling from government forces,
causing civilian casualties and
prompting some residents to ee.
An Associated Press reporter saw
the helicopter go down and the trail
of black smoke it left before crashing.
Gunshots were heard around
Slovyansk near the crash site and a
Ukrainian air force jet was seen cir-
cling above. It was too dangerous to
visit the site itself.

The city of 120,000 is in the Do-

NEW DELHI, Thursday
Indian Prime Minister Narendra
Modi invited Chinese President Xi Jin-
ping to visit, seeking greater engage-
ment between the worlds two most
populous nations on trade and re-
gional security.
Modi extended the invitation when
he spoke by telephone with Chinese
Premier Li Keqiang, who had called to
congratulate him on his victory in In-
dias general election, the Ministry of
External Affairs said in a statement.
The Hindu nationalist won elec-
tion by a landslide, ending a decade
of rule by the Congress party that for
most of the time since Indian inde-
pendence in 1947 has been associated
with a policy of non-alignment.
Li conveyed the Chinese govern-
ments desire to establish robust part-
nership with Indias new govern-
ment, the statement said.
ECONOMIC ENGAGEMENT
Modi said he was keen to work
closely with the Chinese leadership to
deal with any outstanding issues, add-
ing that he welcomed greater eco-
nomic engagement between the two
countries.
No ofcial statement was issued in
Beijing. The last Chinese head of state
to visit India was Hu Jintao in 2012.
Modi invited South Asian leaders
to his inauguration on Monday, turn-
ing the event into an informal region-
al summit. He is keen to rebalance re-
lations between New Delhi and Beijing
that have long been marked by suspi-
cion.
Chinas closest ally in the region is
Indias traditional foe, Pakistan, whose
prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, attend-
ed the inauguration.
China and India fought a brief Hi-
malayan war in 1962 that India lost.
Tensions have occasionally ared on
their common border, which runs for
a total of nearly 3,400km and is still
partly in dispute.
India runs a $40 billion bilateral
trade decit with China, and Modi is
expected to seek greater market ac-
cess to reduce that gap. Chinas own
embrace of an export-led model has
helped its economy outgrow Indias
four-fold since 1980.

A soldier smiles awkwardly as a

out on radio stations urging love,

This is a slice of the daily staple of
propaganda from a junta determined
to win hearts and minds and reassure
Thais their country is in safe hands,
on the road to recovery a week after a
coup it said it staged to prevent a de-
scent into chaos.
The National Council for Peace
and Order (NCPO), as the junta is for-
mally known, has been mixing soft
power with rigorous security and cen-
sorship, asserting its inuence over
the airwaves while gagging indepen-
dent media and warning the press
against negative coverage of the
armed forces.
TV has been dominated by light-
hearted images of a supportive public
donating snacks to troops and posing
with them for sele photos.
Recruitment advertisements for a
mighty army have been ramped up,
sandwiched between commercials for
car batteries and fertiliser.
Soap operas are lling a void left
by now-banned debates on current
affairs and the army has its striped lo-
go displayed in the corner of the
screen. The various channels air syn-
chronised broadcasts that explain the
putsch, showing prominent support-
ers of the ousted regime smiling and
seemingly well treated in detention.
The military is using television to
maintain and show its control but I
cant see it staying like this for too
long. Its too rigid and will have to
change, said a professor at a Bangkok
university, who asked to remain
nameless as the junta had summoned
some academics after they spoke to
journalists.
The media isnt used to this and
wont allow it to continue indenitely.

KUALA LUMPUR, Thursday
Malaysia Airlines employees have
called for the resignation of the air-
lines chief executive, saying new
management is needed to revive the
beleaguered ag carrier.
The unions secretary Mohamad
Jabbarullah Abdul Kadir said Thurs-
day that the state-owned airline has
been mired in losses for four straight
years and is now grappling with the
aftermath of the Flight 370 tragedy.
The jet disappeared on March 8 with
239 people on board.
He said the government and air-
line have done their best in handling
the tragedy, but CEO Ahmad Jauhari
Yahya and his team have failed to
show leadership in charting the air-
lines future.
Mohamad Jabbarullah said staff
frustration was not due to the plane
crisis but had built up over the years
because of managements failure to
engage employees and address inter-
nal problems. Bankruptcy isnt an op-
tion for the airline that has 19,500 staff
worldwide, he said.
We have lost trust in the current
management. Staff morale is very low
due to a lack of leadership. We need a
new team with experience to turn
around the airline, he said.
The unions demand will add to
pressures on Malaysia Airlines, which
is already struggling to repair its im-
age after Flight 370 vanished en route
from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Message from the PS, Industrialization & Enterprise Development
W
e take this opportunity
to congratulate
KUSCCO Ltd upon
attaining 40 years. Indeed you
have spearheaded the movement
right from the 70s to where it is
right now. Hongera!
Co-operatives are a force to
reckon with in Kenya and about
63% of the Kenya population
directly and indirectly depend
on co-operative related activities
for their livelihood. Co-operative
activities concern mainly the
nancial sector (62%) and
the agricultural sector (38%).
Moreover, there are over 12,000
registered co-operative societies,
of which 5,000 are Savings and
Credit Cooperatives (SACCOS)
The co-operative movement
with a membership of about
14 million provides direct
employment to about 500,000
people and indirectly offers about
1.5 million jobs. Co-operatives
have mobilized domestic savings
to the tune of about Kshs. 400
billion, accounting for 33% of the
national savings, and are major
drivers of the economy. They have
an asset base of over Kshs. 300
billion.
Over the years, the ministry
has partnered with KUSCCO to
ensure the movement moves
forward. Some of the notable
achievements made over the
years are:
Facilitation of the legislation of
the SACCO Societies Act which
saw the establishment of the
SACCO Societies Regulatory
Authority (SASRA) in 2009, to
regulate the large nancial
SACCOS.
Review of policy in line with
the new constitutional
requirement on the devolved
Government and the
revision of the Cooperative
Development Policy and the
Cooperative Societies Act CAP
490.
Revitalizing key commodity
co-operatives in areas such as
dairy, coffee and horticulture.
Formation of Matatu
SACCOs, with over 500
registered by the Ministry
in the recent past. Besides
enlisting co-operatives in
the improvement of road
safety , law and order and
bringing sanity on our roads,
the matatu saccos are also
tapping into the economies of
scale due to the co-operative
business model to create
wealth for its members.
Formation of youth SACCOS
in the areas of Boda Boda ,
Construction, Agroprocessing ,
Jua kali amongst others.
We are proud to be associated
with KUSCCO Ltd and we pledge
to continue partnering with you
in order to see the SACCO Sector
advance forward.
Message from the National
Chairman
K
USCCO was formed in
1973 to promote and
advocate for Savings
and Credit Cooperatives in Ke-
nya through education. We want-
ed to ensure that small SACCOs
which did not even have ofces
had access to standardized sta-
tionery and to ensure members
savings and loans were secured.
Key milestones we have
achieved over the years include
Kenya being declared as the
country with the highest growth
rate in membership in the world
in the 2013 World Council of
Credit Unions (WOCCU) Confer-
ence. We are also proud to have
established the rst front ofce
initiative in Africa.
We played a role in the enact-
ment of the Sacco Societies Act
of 2008 that saw the establish-
ment of the Sacco Societies Reg-
ulatory Authority (SASRA) to reg-
ulate the large nancial
SACCOs.
We have also helped in re-
viewing the policies in line with
the new constitution as well as
the review of the Cooperative Act

KUSCCO is also proud to have assisted in the
establishment of matatu SACCOs to bring sanity
in the industry with over 500 matatu SACCOs now
registered by the Ministry. We are in addition very
proud to have helped establish youth and boda
boda SACCOs to introduce a culture of saving
among the youth.
As KUSCCO, we represent the country at the
G10 (a congregation of 10 countries with the larg-
est SACCO movement in the world), at the World
Credit Union Conference as well as at the African
Confederation of Cooperative Savings and Credit
Associations (ACCOSCA)
We offer SACCOs nancial and technical assis-
tance to benet low income earners in rural and
urban areas. In our advocacy role, we focus on pu-
nitive legislation and fair taxation. For instance, as
far as the single business permit is concerned, we
try to convince the government that we are not like
other businesses but like mutual businesses where
members trade among ourselves.
We are however concerned about the delays in
remittances of SACCO dues by big institutions like
the Teachers Service Commission as well as other
small companies. We are also cautioning our
members against unfair competition with other
nancial institutions and unfair levies.
Some of the things we would like to see include
reforms in the banking sector to allow SACCOs to
join the national payment system and the clear-
ing house for faster clearance of cheques to en-
hance nancial positions of SACCOs.
We urge the government to extend the transi-
tion period for SACCOs on the new capital require-
ments to allow more SACCOs meet the threshold
to avoid being blacklisted. The regulatory ratios in
the SACCOs sector should be reviewed to reect
the reality of our model.
And since we are regulated, we would want to
see a situation where the government will start
channeling county funds through the SACCOs.
Finally, because we are a major sector control-
ling billions in savings, we deserve to have a full
ministry at the national government level.

Kenya Union of Savings & Credit Co-operatives Ltd
40 Years of Economic Empowerment
I
t gives me great pleasure
to extend my warmest
congratulations to the
Kenya Union of Savings and
credit Co-operatives (KUSCCO)
Limited on the occasion of its
40th Anniversary celebration. I
share my deepest regards for
your leadership, your example,
and your record of achieve-
ment. Thank you for educating,
enlightening and promoting the
critical development objectives
of the sacco sub sector while
seeking a better life for sacco
members as a whole.
The story of KUSCCO is the
story of the Co-operative move-
ment itself. In its beginnings,
some 40 years ago, was the rec-
ognition that the Co-operative
sector needed advocacy and rep-
resentation for SACCO Societies
in Kenya. The early recognition
to establish Education and Train-
ing, Research Consultancy and
Accountancy functions were crit-
ical in laying the foundation
blocks for Sacco development in
Kenya. Over the four decades,
KUSCCO has grown into institu-
tion renown for the relevance
and success of its programmes.
It is notable that in its early
years, its efforts were concentrat-
ed on developing basic technical
skills of Sacco ofcials and advo-
cacy for the sector. To date,
KUSCCO has pushed for the in-
troduction of the Front ofce
service (FOSA) and the regulato-
ry framework for Sacco Societies
Regulatory Authority (SASRA) in
order to prudentially regulate
Deposit taking Sacco business.
KUSCCO has also provided de-
cent and affordable shelter
through the housing fund, the
inter-lending Central Finance
Programme and the coverage of
loans and savings through the
Risk Management Programme.
At the same time, participants
of KUSCCO training programmes
are now provided with wider ex-
posures of good business prac-
tices, suitable to the changing
economic, social and technolog-
ical environments that are criti-
cal to national governments fac-
ing the pressure of nancial
inclusion, rapid population
growth, development growth
and societal change.
More than ever before, KUSC-
CO has proved its value and its
worth, in reinforcing the work of
national government through
planning for nancial develop-
ment in Kenya. After 40 years,
the work of KUSCCO under-
scores a steady achievement of
the Sacco sub-sector and recog-
nition of the good work of the
various Sacco members as well
as the critical and foremost sup-
porters of KUSCCOs mission
and work.
Once again congratulations
on your celebrations and I wish
you continued success in your
future endeavours.
achieved many milestones
with a branch network of 14
across Kenya. Our share capi-
tal now stands at KSh1 billion
and an asset base of Ksh7.2
billion.
As an institution, our con-
tribution has been mobiliza-
tion of savings in the SACCOs
with the sector now control-
ling over KSh400 billion in sav-
ings. We are therefore compli-
menting the governments
efforts of attaining a savings
rate of 30 per cent of GDP from
the current rate of around 12
per cent.
This savings initiative has
seen our SACCOs become
more nancially stable while
offering affordable credit fa-
cilities for their members as
well as educating their depen-
dants, starting businesses and
offering agricultural facilities
to members.
Our main objective has
been advocacy but we also
have advocacy products. We
advocate on issues on good
corporate governance, legisla-
tion and management. These
include prudential manage-
ment of SACCOs, taxation and
inter-mediating in issues to do
with the market asymmetry.
As a result of our contribu-
tion, the sector has improved
tremendously in corporate
governance as evidenced by
the low complaints before the
Commissioner of Coopera-
tives in the last 7 years. We
have also seen an improve-
ment in the management and
performance of our SACCOs.
We are also proud that the
sector has become more ro-
bust with most of them re-
branding and adopting new
information and communication tech-
nology. The SACCO movement in Ke-
nya is also in the forefront in forging
key strategic partnerships including
introduction of cheque books and ATM
cards. This is a clear indication that the
sector is headed in the right direction
in service delivery to members. As a re-
sult the sector has become a case study
for other SACCOs in Africa to emulate.
We get delegates from Ghana, South
Africa, Malawi, Swaziland, South Su-
dan to mention but afew.
But we would want the government
to reconsider the new capital require-
ments for SACCOs. As much as this ef-
fort is to protect SACCOs from col-
lapse, the rules have been largely
borrowed from the MFI Act which is a
different market and model. SACCOs
are not limited companies, therefore
these ratios should come down.
Going forward, we have embarked
on executing the implementation of
our 2014-2018 strategic plan that will
among others see a stream of new ex-
citing products and services.

As the voice and lobbyists for

in Kenya, KUSCCO has been at
the forefront in efforts to form and
develop strong and viable SACCOs
Helping SACCOs build a better Kenya for 40 years
BY PETER KIRAGU
C
ooperative Enterprises Build a Better World ac-
cording to the 2012 United Nations International
Year of Cooperatives. This is exactly what has
been happening in Kenya in the past 40 years thanks to the
efforts of the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-oper-
atives (KUSCCO) Limited.
As the voice and lobbyist for Savings and Credit Coop-
eratives in Kenya, KUSCCO has been at the forefront in ef-
forts to form and develop strong and viable SACCOs. From
zero savings in 1973, the SACCO movement is now control-
ling over Ksh400 billion in members savings, accounting
for 33 per cent of the countrys saving rate as a percentage
of GDP. From nothing 40 years ago, the sector now has an
asset base of over Ksh300 billion.
GLOBAL RECOGNITION
With these milestones, Kenyas SACCO movement is the
largest in Africa even ahead of the populous Nigeria and
competitors such as South Africa, Ghana and Malawi. So
big is the sector that it competes favorably in the world
ranking at number seven globally. As such, Kenya sits in
the so-called Credit Unions G10, an association compris-
ing 10 nations with the largest SACCO membership.
Across board, the rallying call has been put in more
savings, says George Ototo, the managing director of
KUSCCO.
As the umbrella body for SACCOs, the main objective
of KUSCCO is advocacy and representation. We advocate
on issues of legislation, good corporate governance and
management. These include prudential management of
SACCOs, taxation
and inter-mediat-
ing on issues to
do with the mar-
ket asymmetry,
explains Mr. Oto-
to.
In addition,
KUSCCO offers
SACCOs and oth-
er cooperatives -
nancial and tech-
nical assistance,
tailored to largely benet the middle and low income
earners both in Kenyas rural and urban areas. This is a sig-
nicant fraction of Kenyas population that drives the
countrys economy through the small and medium enter-
prise (SME) engine.
KUSCCO has existed and continues to exit to address
myriads of problems facing SACCOs and to strengthen the
cooperative movement in Kenya. Some of the challenges
facing the sector includes among others, competition
from commercial banks in Kenya, insufcient capital
base, lack of or slow rate of Information Technology adop-
tion and inefcient loan pricing strategies.
At the moment, KUSCCO is lobbying to have SACCOs
exempted from taxes because members only trade among
themselves and not outside just like members clubs. We
would be happy to see SACCOs exempted from all taxes,
argues Mr. Ototo.

explains that the union is lobbying
for amendment of the Income Tax
Act section 15 part 3, section 19A
part 4 and section 2 part 2 and 4 to
ensure that SACCOs do not pay tax-
es because members have been
taxed at source.
If amended, these areas will
give a very conducive trading atmo-
sphere, he expounds.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Even as KUSCCO continues
with its main role of ghting for
the rights of SACCOs, the union
has a number of products and
services. Through the KUSCCOs
Central Finance Fund, the union
sources funds from the regular
deposits by SACCOs and pays a
reasonable interest on the depos-
its, which is disbursed to member
societies as affordable loans.
These deposits are used to extend
development and emergency
loans to SACCOS, education loans
as well as loans to SACCOs target-
ing the youth among other facili-
ties.
The union also operates the
KUSCCO Housing Fund which of-
fers an unbeatable mortgage
scheme that aims to extend loans
for construction of houses/homes
for SACCO members and ofce
blocks for SACCOs as well as fa-
cilitating purchase of residential
houses. KUSCCO gives mortgage
loans of between Ksh450,000 to
Ksh7 million although there are
exceptional cases where they go
beyond the maximum for those
putting up commercial residen-
tial houses, mini-hotels, guest
houses or cottage industries.
As part of the new project tar-

geting the housing sector, KUSCCO is developing 120
residential houses in Kitengela for sale.
SACCOs in Kenya, like any other organizations, are
prone to nancial risks. As such KUSCCO prides itself
with the role of providing advice and underwriting risks
for the cooperative movement by offering seamless
hedging solutions to SACCOs and their members in Ke-
nya.
We identify and mitigate both short and long term
risks for SACCOs, as we deliver cost-effective, long-term
strategic value across a wide range of risk management
policies, MD KUSCCO asserts.
KUSCCO has also formulated relevant education and
training programmes designed to address issues relat-
ed to the management of SACCOs in Kenya. The union
in addition offers a wide range of professional consul-
tancy and advisory services to SACCOs.
THE FUTURE
Going forward, KUSCCO would want to see a scenario
where members will be inclined to production loans as op-
posed to consumption loans. The union also sees an in-
crease in the membership numbers.
In the next ve years, we are expecting a sector whose
membership penetration will be 30 per cent of the popu-
lation from the current rate of 20 per cent. We expect this
to improve the savings culture and help boost the saving
mobilization to about 30 per cent of national savings as ad-
vocated by Vision 2030 blue print, offers Mr. Ototo.
KUSCCO shall also press for inclusion in trading of
shares through a platform at the Nairobi Securities Ex-
change. Additionally, we see a sector that will increase the
adoption of ICT in service delivery, adds Mr. Ototo. Apart
from seeking inclusion in the national payment system,
KUSCCO will encourage its members to introduce credit
cards for Saccos among other new products and services.

explore innovative ways to provide practical so-
lutions to address the unique challenges sav-
ings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs) contin-
ue to face today. As a rst practical solution to
these challenges, the department was instru-
mental in the conceptualization and successful
piloting of the rst Front Ofce Services Activ-
ity (FOSA) to offer pseudo-banking services to
members.
Our consultancy and advisory services to
SACCOs are offered at competitive fees, tailored
to assist SACCOs. This includes giving guidance
to SACCOs; by helping them upgrade their in-
ternal governance and develop management
systems and structures providing leadership for
SACCOs by formulating appropriate systems of
management and building administrative ca-
pacity in areas such as information technology,
marketing, and customer service.
Specically, our role is to provide practical
solutions and advise the SACCOs on:
Enactment or revision of their SACCO by-
laws;
The need to develop a strategic plan and or
Business Plan;

HUMAN CAPITAL INVEST-
MENT FOR THE LAST 40
YEARS
A dream can only be realized
through hard work, determination
and heavy investment in terms of
time and resources (Colin Powell)
The human capital of an organi-
zation is the most critical asset in
realization of any dream in the busi-
ness world and therefore calls for
heavy investment, hard work and
determination inorder for the orga-
nization to realize returns on invest-
ment (ROI)
The Union through the Human
Resource Department invests heav-
ily in acquisition of talent, right
placement, remuneration and ben-
ets, training and development,
communication and technology,
conducive working environment,
team building activities among oth-
ers which are aligned to the KUSC-
CO corporate strategies.

Fashion for
A
lways striving to be better than its past
editions, this fashion gala is back with an
array of designs and promises to be a
fun-lled event that will give all present a chance to
experience high fashion and mingle with top
designers in the society. Delete the negative,
accentuate the positive, the famous dictum by
designer Donna Karan resonates with the FAFA
2014 fth edition dubbed Fashion for Peace Gala.
The Festival of African Fashion and Arts (FAFA),
which started ve years ago and is growing in
popularity amongst the fashion elite, is about
empowerment by use of creative talents. It is meant
to foster positive change and promote peace
through art, fashion, music and sports.
POSITIVE VIBES
Teeming with 18 local designers, two from
Botswana and a couple from South Sudan, the show
promises to showcase daring designs on the hottest
models as it seeks to parade a diverse and cosmo-
politan Nairobi to the world.
Through the Fashion for Peace, creatives come
together to write different cultures and heritages,
Ann McCreath of the renowned KikoRomeo says.
Kenyas top industry leaders and athletes in a
mission to call for peace in Kenya and in South
Sudan will also grace the catwalk.
Let us start a drive for positivity. As individuals we
need to decide how to handle things and beware of
spreading fear after what our country is experienc-
ing. The best news will be from Nairobi, adds
McCreath.
The event is backed by several sponsors from the
corporate world with popular whisky brand
Jameson and leading telecommunications service
provider Safaricom being major sponsors. Com-
mercial Bank of Africa (CBA) will be the ofcial
banking partner, having signed a three-year
contract to help grow the fashion industry while
Sarova Stanley will come in as the ofcial hospitali-
ty sponsor.
Safaricom believes in art and its contribution to
society as evidenced in our support of big events
such as the Groove awards and Safaricom Jazz
Festival. We are proud to be part of this wonderful
event, Elizabeth Yoga, a manager with Safaricom,
said of the Sh1.6 million the telecommunications
company had brought to the table for the gala
show.
James Gachuru, the managing director of Sarova
Stanley noted that peace is a rare commodity.
FAFA seeks to change the story to that of peace.
FAFA is the best partner in spreading peace, which
is an important message in the times we live in, he
added.
The show will be held tomorrow at the Oval Ring

P
erhaps the most apt
description of Wini
Awuondos works is
indescribable. Painted from
what she felt at different times,
her works derive different
interpretations depending on
how one looks at them. Among
her works, showcased at the
Shift Eye Gallery on Monday
night, was What I Know,
Unspoken, and Here Now.
In the exhibition dubbed Un-
masked, she sought to get the au-
dience to have a view of her in-
nermost side that she says could
only be expressed through the
compositions. Awuondo explains
that the ow of her energy deter-
mined the outcome of her works,
which required no pre-planning
but seeking the liberation of her

PROMOTE LOCAL TALENT
Ajuma Nasenyana, a Kenyan
international model who has
worked with the likes of Victoria
Secret, also graced the event and
noted that it was time to
promote local talent. She gave
an example of how she has
partnered with an agency in Par-
is in opening City Models Africa,
which has in turn partnered
with FAFA to provide the best
models for the show.
We have 25 female and 10
male models of different
nationalities including South
Sudanese, Somali, Kenyan and
Europeans, she added.
Ticket prices start from
Sh1,500 for screen only and after
party, while the highest goes for
Sh8,000, or Sh7,500 a week
before the show, which will
include a dedicated lift, red
carpet, two front row seats and
beverages, among other
goodies. Proceeds from the
show will help beneciaries of
Seed of Hope, which equips and
empowers disadvantaged
teenagers to be self-sufcient
and independent through
vocational training, business
training and life skills.
Started back in 2002, the
centre has partnered with FAFA
from the beginning to bring
about positive change in society.
We normally assist young
people from the ages of 16 to 19
years from poor backgrounds
and so far more than 1000
needy children have benet-
ed, Deborah Kimathi, the
Field Director, remarked.
With the show kicking off
at six, all those in attendance
are requested to arrive 30
minutes prior to allow for a
thorough security check,
perhaps a stark reminder on the
need for peace.
People are sceptical about
going out due to the security
threats, which we hope will
change, Sylvia Tonui, the FAFA
CEO, said.
Mukabi, Wangeci Mutu and Thom
Ogonga.
I am not in the best position
to comment on the art industry in
Kenya because as of now I dont
know very much about it. But as
long as young artists with vision
and different aesthetics are being
given a chance, we are headed in
the right direction, she opines.
ANTICIPATED CAREER
Unlike some who have en-
countered discouragement or
even outright resistance, her fam-
ily has been supportive of her
chosen career path although at
rst they were not complacent.
They were not surprised that
I wanted to be an artist. Maybe a
little disappointed that I was not
going into formal employment
for experience. But not everyone
needs to be employed; self-em-
ployment is also an option, she
voices.
James Njoroge, a fellow artist,
was amazed by the works and
commended Wini for creating
patterns he had never seen before
in the industry.
Her works are incredible for
her rst solo show. They are de-
tailed and the decorative patterns
are eye-catching. The paintings
have different meanings. I love
the idea that she paints with what
she feels at the moment. You can
feel a lot of things from one piece
to the other. Her style is very dif-
ferent, and her works seem al-
most different but not creatively
so, noted Njoroge.

can adequately remind one of a
feeling they had at a specic point
in time, only with painting did
one realise she can sufciently
capture what he or she doesnt
have the language to explain be-
cause it comes from a part that
they have just begun to discover.
HOPE FOR THE ARTS
This ne artist studied Fine
Art at Oxford Brookes Univer-
sity in the United Kingdom and
plans to go to New York to
study Fashion for two years.

UNEDITED, UNRESTRAINED
This collection of work acts
as a visual diary and the process
of making it serves as a release of
emotional energy and a visual ex-
pression of my imagination. It is
a snapshot of the most vulnerable
part of me as it is unedited and
more unrestrained. While the
words in a diary serve as an ex-
pression of emotion and a re-
minder of life events, my paint-
ings work in a similar way, only
using a different language, says
Awuondo.
She adds that in the making of
this work, she discovered that she
does not have the words to suf-
ciently express the workings of

By JAMES ANYANZWA
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is
investigating a number of Chinese
companies suspected to be evading
tax.
KRA Commissioner General John
Njiraini said some Chinese-owned
businesses may be denying the Gov-
ernment billions of shillings in tax
through either under-declaration or
mis-declaration of cargo.
I caution the Chinese business
community to desist from activities
that contravene tax or customs legal
provisions either through under-dec-
laration, mis-declaration or outright
evasion of taxes, said KRA Commis-
sioner General John Njiraini, adding
that a number of cases involving such
malpractices are already under inves-
tigation.
I urge the Chinese business com-
munity to observe ethical practices
geared towards ensuring fair report-
ing of business activities and atten-
dant payment of their rightful share
of taxes.
Mr Njiraini said punitive penalties
including criminal prosecution would
be preferred upon the culprits. He
said more resources would be chan-
nelled towards this area in the coming
months. Njiraini was speaking at a fo-

Rwandas export trade
Trade between Rwanda and the
Democratic Republic of Congo
is expected to substantially go
up with the implementation
of a 20-month programme
aimed at reducing the cost of
cross border trade for goods
Rwanda traders export. The
programme, nanced by a of $1
million grant by the Belgian and
UK governments, is expected to
strengthen trade ties between
Rwanda and the Democratic
Republic of Congo. The
programme dubbed Linking
East to West Supporting
Rwandas Trade Competitiveness
with the EAC and DRC will
reduce the cost and increase the
value of trade between Rwanda
and the DRC and EAC. It will be
implemented by TradeMark East
Africa. TMEA will use the funds
to help the country set up a
cross border market for informal
traders that will focus on the
high-potential DRC destination
market. This is also expected to
increase the competitiveness
of Rwandan exports along this
border and improve the capacity
of Rwandan SMEs and traders
to export.

BY JAMES ANYANZWA
Transcentury Group Ltd has an-
nounced an ambitious plan to invest
a whopping $500 million (Sh43.5 bil-
lion) in infrastructure projects over
the next three years.
The move is part of the Nairobi Se-
curities Exchange (NSE) listed compa-
nys efforts to shore up its revenue re-
serves following a botched investment
in the Rift Valley Railways (RVR).
Chairman Zephaniah Mbugua said
the mega projects would be imple-
mented in collaboration with key
technical partners.
He said the high return projects,
which would be implemented be-
tween 2014 and 2016, are focused on
power, engineering and other infra-
structure projects.
He singled out the planned devel-
opment of a 35MW Geothermal Plant
in Menengai, as the start of its invest-
ment plan.
Mbugua said the new investments
would be funded through the compa-
nys internally generated funds, in-
cluding proceeds from the sale of its
stake in RVR.
We look forward to strengthening
the groups performance by focusing
on the key divisions outlined and
building strategic relationships with
long term partners to build infrastruc-
ture projects across the region, drive
regional competitiveness and create
value for shareholders he said.
He was speaking during the Com-
panys 16th Annual General Meeting
(AGM) in Nairobi yesterday.
He said TransCentury would add
value by originating, building and op-
erating infrastructure projects along
with technical partners.
TransCentury exited its investment
in RVR in March 2014 realising $43.7
million from the sale of its 34 per cent
stake in Kenya-Uganda Railways
Holding Limited.
Through its wholly owned subsid-
iary Safari Rail Company Ltd, it dis-
posed off its entire shareholding in
RVR to Citadel Capital of Egypt on
March 31, this year.
The decision was made owing to
the delayed turnaround of RVR, which
meant that this investment failed to
meet return targets set by TransCen-
tury.
The RVR consortium was estab-
lished to manage the railways of Ke-
nya and Uganda railways. However, he
reckoned that the sale proceeds from
the exit from RVR were below the his-
torical fair value of the investment.
Consequently the company issued
a cautionary statement warning its
shareholders that its prots for this
year (2014) ending December 31
would be 25 per cent lower than that
of 2013.

IFC raises red flag over Kenyas
business registration reforms
By WINSLEY MASESE

Duplication in the registration
process of new businesses by differ-
ent Government agencies has been
identied as a stumbling block to
creating an enabling environment
for businesses to ourish in the
country.
Doris Olutende, a consultant with
the International Finance Corpora-
tion, an arm of the World Bank
Group, noted that the exercise was
not co-ordinated, saying this must
change.
As a consequence, prospective
investors waste a lot of time and re-
sources moving from one ofce to
another in an effort to register new
businesses, she noted.
Ms Olutende said the agencies
did not even communicate with each
other to enhance the business regis-
tration exercise.
For example, people wishing to
start a business in the country are re-
quired to produce the same docu-
ments to Kenya Revenue Authority
(KRA) and National Hospital Insur-
ance Fund (NHIF).
Kenya Investment Authority and
the recently launched Huduma Cen-
tre are also involved in the registra-
tion of business besides the Registrar
of Companies, situated in the Attor-
ney Generals ofce.

Summit moved to allow attendance by top CEOs
By STANDARD REPORTER
The 2014 East Africa Business
Summit, which was planned for June
4 to 6 in Kigali, Rwanda, has been
postponed.
The two-day summit, titled Posi-
tioning East Africa for Inclusive Pros-
perity in 2020 and Beyond, will now
take place from October 23 to 25.
The meeting will bring together
over 100 top chief executive ofcers
nanciers and government repre-
sentatives to address wide-ranging
development issues affecting the re-
gion.
The conveners have received nu-
merous requests from delegates and
sponsors to have the dates moved
given the proximity of this years
summit to the recently concluded
World Economic Forum in Nigeria,
where a good number of the target
participants took part.
Chairman of the Convenors Com-
mittee, Linus Gitahi, said the deci-
sion was collectively taken to move
the summit to October in the inter-
ests of delivering the very top CEOs
of the region.
The move will also help align the
biennial forum with previous sum-
mit dates. We are committed to de-
livering a summit attended by cap-
tains of industries across East Africa
while maintaining consistency on
the schedule for the summit, he
said.
INTEGRAL SUMMIT
This, Gitahi added, would allow
targeted delegates and sponsors to
plan ahead for the integral summit
that continues to outline key focus
areas for East African states to drive
inclusive regional development.
Conveners will continue to ac-
tively engage with registered and po-
tential delegates across the region as
they seek to secure all-inclusive rep-
resentation while giving more dele-
gates time to attend, he said.
He said the conveners believed
the decision to move dates would al-
so add impetus to the objectives, dis-
cussions and outcomes, further
building on this years agenda, which
includes focus on managing mineral
wealth for inclusive economic devel-
opment.
The World Bank Groups
arm warns that the
exercise is not co-
ordinated and poses a
challenge to development
They are working towards sim-
plifying the process for starting a
business. However, they are not talk-
ing to each other to improve the pro-
cess, she said.
Besides, business registration re-
mains centralised in Nairobi but to
empower the county, this exercise
must be decentralised to improve ef-
ciency, Olutende advised.
The consultant was speaking at a
workshop organised by the Kenya In-
stitute for Public Policy Research and
Analysis (Kippra) in Nairobi yester-
day.
The workshop proposed speedy
legislation of the Company Bill 2014,
which is on the oor of the House.
The Industrialisation and Enter-
prise Development ministry said last
week that the country was likely to
have the Company Act 2014 in place
by July.
It disclosed that the Company Bill
2014 had undergone various discus-
sion stages on the oor of Parliament
and once through, it was expected to
improve business processes and en-
courage the formation of new busi-
nesses.

Kenya Airways has expressed op-
timism that the ongoing expansion
of Jomo Kenyatta International Air-
port (JKIA) will help boost the air-
lines growth.
Group Managing Director Titus
Naikuni said the development would
play a key role in helping the carrier
position itself as the airline of choice
on the continent.
He identied the Greeneld proj-
ect as one of the landmark projects
that would make the company y the
African ag in the future.
The outlook is great for the air-
line and the country as we look for-
ward to receiving new planes from
next month, said Mr Naikuni.
Speaking during an award cere-
mony for the companys travel agents
in Nairobi, Naikuni said they hope to
replace the old planes with the new
arrivals as part of taking the skies by
storm.
With the new terminal, we can
market the airport as a transit point
in Africa, he said, adding that the is-
sue of security in the country re-
quired everyone to play a role to sur-
mount the challenges.
Naikuni stated that although Is-
rael has more hostile neighbours
compared to Kenya, it receives more
tourists in a year. This tells you there
must be something wrong internally
with ourselves and we have a lot of
work to do on our own to improve
the situation, he urged.
Naikuni warned that without sup-
port from other institutions, the
economy couldnt create jobs or
wealth for the country.
During the event, BCD Travel
scooped the top prize in Kenya Air-
ways Travel Agents Awards 2014 and
was named Top Agent in Total Reve-
nue Performance 2013/ 2014.
Bunson Travel, Charleston Travel
and Elite Travel emerged rst, sec-
ond and third runners-up respec-
tively. Others feted during the cere-
mony were Palbina Travel (High

formance Award 2013/2014 on Lon-
don Route).

Port-based users of the Kenya
TradeNet System are happy with
stakeholders involvement in im-
plementation of the project.
Regional heads of State launched
the project expected to reduce car-
go dwell time at the ports and im-
prove the ease of doing business in
Nairobi on May 2.
Representatives of key stake-
holder organisations in Mombasa
said the sustained engagement of
system users by the implementing
agency, KenTrade, was key to over-
coming challenges experienced in
previous port-based projects.
SHIPPING AGENTS
Juma Tellah, chief executive of
Kenya Shipping Agents Association,
said implementation of the system
was so far the most consultative
port-based project.
As shipping agents, we have
been involved in every phase of the
Kenya TradeNet System implemen-
tation from the development of the
System Specication Requirement
and piloting to Service Level Agree-
ment of Kenya TradeNet System,
he said.
Mr Tellah was speaking in Mom-
basa during a stakeholders consul-
tative forum that brought together
representatives of key port-based
organisations and institutions us-
ing the Kenya TradeNet System.
Kenya TradeNet is owned and
managed by Kenya Trade Network
Agency (KenTrade), a State corpora-
tion mandated to implement, oper-
ationalise and manage the facility.
It is the rst comprehensive Sin-
gle Window in East Africa which in-
tegrates varied State agencies sys-
tems onto a single common
platform, streamlining clearance
process for sea, air and land cargo.

Tullow projects economic
boom for Turkana County
Neglected for long by successive
administrations, the region has
become a key area of interest for
investors following oil fnds
By STANDARD REPORTER
Tullow Kenya projects boom time for Turkana
County as the country transitions from oil explo-
ration to development and production.
Country Manager Martin Mbogo said the rm
is working to increase the share of revenues tak-
en up by Turkana-based rms.
Our strategy is to ensure that wherever pos-
sible, goods and services are sourced locally, cre-
ating new jobs and supporting the local business
community and economy, he said.
According to a new report, businesses across
the country last year made Sh8.2 billion in reve-
nues from supplying services to Tullow Kenya
and contractors carrying out oil exploration in
the country.
The report released by the rm says Sh4.1 bil-
lion came from supplying Tullow Kenya directly,
representing an increase of nearly 60 per cent
compared to 2012.
This, it added, was in addition to the Sh1.9 bil-
lion the company paid in taxes to the Govern-
ment. The report also notes that 70 per cent of
the companys staff is Kenyan, as are nine in ev-
ery ten employees engaged by its contractors.
Last year, the report says Tullow Kenya and its
contractors, spent over half a billion shillings on
businesses based in Turkana County where op-
erational activities are taking place with most re-
cent gures indicating they had generated over
3,000 jobs, three-fths of which went to residents
of Turkana.
Welcoming the report, Mbogo said the rm is
investing in several programmes that aim to
build capacity among Turkana businesses to take
advantage of its presence in the region.
The welfare of the communities we work
with is a crucially important aspect of our oper-
ations and we will also continue to invest in the
people of Turkana to enhance the necessary
skills to take up more of the opportunities cre-
ated by the oil and gas sector, he said.
According to a report prepared by the Kenya
National Bureau of Statistics and the Society for
International Development, as many as 82 per
cent of the county residents have had no formal
education.
BUDDING STAGES
Tullow Kenya is currently investing in efforts
to build capacity in the local school system and
has over the past two years provided over 3,000
bursaries and scholarships to students as well
as teaching materials to 50 primary and second-
ary schools.
Under the Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme,
the company has also spent about Sh125 million
to help 25 Kenyan students, including seven
from Turkana, pursue postgraduate studies in
elds related to oil and gas.
Developing oil resources is a long term ven-
ture that demands large initial capital invest-
ments and, as the sector matures, it creates
many more opportunities. Kenya is still in the
budding stages of this cycle, but has shown great
promise for future rewards, he said.
DUBAI, WEDNESDAY
An unidentied bank has demanded that
Zanzibar Telecom repays Sh86.42 billion ($96
million) owed to it after the Tanzanian mobile
operator defaulted on the loan, a bond pro-
spectus for parent rm Etisalat has indicated.
Zanzibar Telecom, which uses the brand
name Zantel, has struggled against larger rivals
Vodacom and Bharti Airtel. Its subscriber base
fell 41 per cent last year despite plenty of room
for growth in the sector, with mobile penetra-
tion in the East African country at 61 per cent.
Zantel is currently in non-payment default
under a bilateral bank facility, a bond prospec-
tus issued by Etisalat, the United Arab Emirates
largest listed company, states.
The facilitys provider, which Etisalat does
not identify, has issued an acceleration notice,
the document showed.
This is a formal demand that the entire bal-
ance, interest and late fees be paid. The pro-
spectus says the outstanding amount is $96
million, warning unless this default is reme-
died, the lender may take enforcement action
against Zantel.
Etisalat repeated the prospectuss details re-
garding Zantel in a statement to Reuters, but
declined to provide further information. Zantel
did not respond to Reuters enquiries.
Etisalat is expected to issue a bond to re-
place a 2.1 billion euro ($2.86 billion) bridge
loan it used to help fund its purchase of a con-
trolling stake in Maroc Telecom.
Etisalat bought a 34 per cent stake in Zantel
in 1999, upping its holding to 65 per cent in
2010. The government of Zanzibar owns 18 per
cent and Meeco International 17 per cent.
Etisalat does not provide nancial details of
Zantels operations, but the bond prospectus
omits Zantel from a list of foreign subsidiaries
that last year made a positive contribution to
the parents operating prot, implying the Tan-
zanian operator was loss-making.
Zantel provided 0.8 per cent of Etisalats rev-
enue last year, or 311 million UAE dirhams
($84.67 million), according to Reuters
calculations.Reuters.

titudes and identify their root causes.
The surveys are used to gather im-
portant data about employee atti-
tudes by adhering to scientic and
psychological research principles.
After the data has been collected,
it removes the guesswork in getting
to the bottom of the problems con-
cerning employee attitudes, says Al-
bert Owino a Human resource con-
sultant.
Owino says results from the sur-
veys can help organisations to de-
cide on whether they can outsource
services from credible attitude and
behavioural management consul-
tants to help unlock the employees
potential and boost productivity. Or-
ganisations can then be advised on
BY JAMES MBAKA
Employee attitude determines
the impression or outlook of the or-
ganisation. What clients assess rst
when they encounter a business is
the attitude of employees on
whether they are helpful, interested
and engaged. When an organisation
recruits an employee, it hires the
skills and talents of the individual
and a positive attitude toward work.
Promising employee attitude is
the foundation for success of any or-
ganisation. It is still appropriate to
expect great employee attitude even
during the time when an organisa-
tion is undergoing difculties.
TURBULENT TIMES
Career experts opine that an em-
ployee who uses pretexts of an or-
ganisations turbulence to justify
poor attitude takes self, the team,
and the organisation down.
But success is not easy to achieve
but also impossible without good
employee attitude. To a large extend,
the emotional state of employees
speak volumes. It tells clients a lot
about the company or business, in-
cluding other peoples impression of
the company.
It is thus important to carry out a
survey in an organisation to assess
employees attitude, using credible
surveys and research organisations.
Employee attitude surveys assess at-

such discoveries until its too late,
Mr Owino said. Attitude surveys are
expected to uncover any issues a
company might be experiencing well
before they eat into your bottom line
of the organisation.
This helps the company to under-
stand some of the problems employ-
ees could be having and then device
programmes to motivate them. Such
information can be gathered through
opinion surveys from employee.

New code bets on induction to boost good governance
By MARGARET KANINI
AND WINSLEY MASESE
The Institute of Certied Public
Secretaries of Kenya (ICPSK) has de-
veloped a new code of good gover-
nance for the private sector to im-
prove governance in the workplace.
ICPSK outgoing Chairperson Ms
Catherine Musakali says the code
lays a rm foundation for good gov-
ernance and strengthens the roles
and responsibilities of boards in the
organisations. This code should
serve as the anchor on which this
transformation will be founded, she
said.
Ms Musakali noted that the code
aims to streamline governance in the
recruitment framework, selection,
appointment and induction of
boards, application of appointment
procedures and lack of understand-
ing of roles of boards by board mem-
bers. The code says organisations
should properly induct board mem-
Turning employees attitudes into assets
areas to improve on usually on a
step-by-step approach to turn
around the image of the company by
investing on programmes that offers
alternatives to make improvements.
The survey can unearth reasons for
low morale, low productivity, low en-
gagement and causes for high turn-
over in a company, he says.
BRAND IDENTITY
A combination of low morale, low
productivity, low engagement, and
high turnover are the veritable Four
Horsemen, which may spell doom
to an organisations brand. Invite in
two or more of the above, and the re-
sults are almost certainly disastrous.
Sadly, many companies dont make
form at a higher level, says Evans
Khaemba, a career consultant with
HPC consulting. He says informa-
tion collected from such surveys can
help enhance growth and build out
a strong, productive, and highly en-
gaged corporate culture.
It is important to evaluate em-
ployee training and determine over-
all employee satisfaction, he says of
what an organisation needs to do to
improve service delivery.
This improves customer service,
increases employee retention, boost
employee morale and gain insight
into employee perceptions of the or-
ganisation to boost the companys
bottom line.
Mr Owino says employees atti-
tude needs to be used for something
great and therefore important to em-
power them.
Breed accountability not blame,
inspire them and listen when they
have problems. Ask what resources
they have and or need to resolve the
trouble. This empathises without ap-
proving of a bad attitude, he says.

bers because they are the key assets
of a company. This is because boards
determine the organisations mis-
sion, vision, purpose and core val-
ues. Kenya Power Company Secre-
tary Beatrice Meso, said good
governance will enhance nancial
transparency, accountability and
shareholder value in the country. Ms
Musakali told Careers that induction
in most organisations should not on-
ly be reserved for the board mem-
bers, but include all new employes.
Induction is part of good corporate
governance and it is also an ethical
issue that employers must pay much
attention to, lest they sink their own
organisations, she explains.
The rst week or month or re-
porting to these new organisations
should be dedicated to induction of
the new employees by the human re-
source management, she adds.
Musakali noted that they will
partner with the Management Uni-
versity Africa (MUA) to start good
governance programmes for public
ofcers. The institute was also tasked
to develop a code of good gover-
nance for the public sector, with Mu-
sakali saying that this will be
launched soon to entrench good
governance gain a foothold either in
the public or private companies.
Ms Musakali noted that more in-
vestors are concerned with gover-
nance issues and want to know if
their investments can earn good re-
turns. She said employees come
from different working environ-
ments and cultures, adding that they
should be informed of everything in
the organisation. They should be in-
formed of any minor detail that any-
one would easily be taken as com-
mon knowledge, like where to get
and use the parking space, tea or
lunch time arrangements..........
That these new employees will
not be able to perform their roles ef-
fectively and they will continue to
break the company policy and rules,
which may create massive losses for
these organizations.
The Kenya Accountants and Sec-
retaries National Examinations
Board Chief Executive said good
governance and work ethics will en-
able the country achieve long-term
development goals.

Raising your
visibility in the
job market
By GORETTI KIMANI
Todays job market is becoming
increasingly competitive. Gone are
the days when companies would
ock to institutions of higher learn-
ing in search of young blood, leaving
many fresh graduates to gure out
their way around the market.
The modern job seeker must be
talented in raising their level of visi-
bility in the market. Failure to do this
undermines your chances of access-
Firms are fnding it easier
to recruit from websites
due to costs and conve-
nience, requiring job seek-
ers to build contacts
ing jobs and building a successful ca-
reer. Before starting on visibility ex-
ploits, ensure that your CV is
professionally written. If you are un-
sure how to do this, its best to con-
sult a professional to remove any
doubts. Ensure that your CV is visi-
ble in the right places. You must also
make it a daily routine to seek out
and read the main dailies.
If you are jobless, this may be a
tall order but you can have some
special arrangements with support-
ive family and friends. However, if
you have a job and are seeking green-
er pastures, allocate a small budget
to access newspapers.
You do not have to buy every pa-
per but you can team up with like-
minded people to lighten the bur-
den. Ensure you research and register
with as many job-search websites as
One can use a smart phone to keep himself well updated on new postings

possible. As more people become
digitally inclined, many companies
are nding it easier to recruit from
websites for reasons of cost and con-
venience. Keep and build a large di-
rectory of potential company web-
sites.
JOB OPENINGS
Company websites also have a
career page where they occasionally
post job openings long before you
ever see them in the print media, if
at all. Also ensure you are present on
social media. There are many social
media groups and forums where jobs
are freely shared. With a smart
phone, you can keep yourself well
updated on any such job postings.
Other employers exclusively rely
on human resource agencies. It is al-
so good to deposit your CV with as
many reputable agencies as possible.
Envisage building strong social and
professional networks.
Such networks must be based on
trust and goodwill and must never be
one-sided. A good way to network is
through philanthropy. You dont need
money to be philanthropic. There
are many places to get such expertise
and use it to change other peoples
lives. In a recent case, a young lady
who volunteered to edit the local
church magazine ended up being
head hunted by a commercial maga-
zine. But visibility exploits will cost
you some time and money. The mis-
take many people make is to hold
back on such spending and still ex-
pect jobs to come their way.
As the old adage goes, a free meal
will only be found at a mousetrap.
You must avoid over-reliance on any
one method. Youd rather adopt an
open minded and dynamic attitude
and you will surely prosper.

BY WINSLEY MASESE
Medical doctors can now advance their ca-
reers and improve service delivery in their
workplace. This follows a partnership between
Kenya Medical Association (KMA) and Strath-
more Business School to have 1,000 KAM mem-
bers undergo health management skills.
KAM National Chairman Elly Nyaim noted
that doctors only focus on patients leaving out
management issues after their graduation,
adding that the new course will raise the bar.
By virtue of attaining the highest education
standards, we are meant to lead but this is not
often the case and this at times messes up the
sector, he noted.
Nyaim observed that current policies are re-
strictive to medical professionals, adding that
doctors interested in management can now
take up new training and advance their careers
in management. Doctors are entrusted with
expensive equipment running into millions of
shillings, hence the need to up their manage-
ment skills. This is likely to take a new course
in their career prospects, he stated.
He explained that managing a hospital re-
quires that doctors understand issues touching
on nance, human resource apart from their
core work of handling patients. This is meant
to enable doctors explore other opportunities,
which they can undertake besides being med-
ical doctors.
Nyaim noted that a medical school is re-
strictive to pursuing other courses like man-
agement and this limits their potential. Strath-
more Business School Dr Dean George Njenga
agrees that as soon as medical students gradu-
ate and are posted to new stations of work; they
are expected to become jacks-of-all-trades.
There would be an incredible change of mind
if medical doctors were to learn about manage-
ment as a core concept in extending healthcare
system and take their leadership skills to a
higher performance, said Njenga.
By successfully going through the training,
there will be a chain of healthcare managers in
the market to ensure effective use of the re-
sources allocated. The health sector receives
about 22 per cent of the countrys budgetary al-
location besides expensive equipment for the
hospitals, hence the need to be managed ef-
ciently, he stated.
MANAGING RESOURCES
Dr Njenga observed that the training will
produce professionals who understand the de-
cision process in managing resources among
other issues that touch on marketing, commu-
nication, information technology for health-
care, operations systems, nance and other
hospital-required standards. Managing these
facilities is often-times not seen as part of their
curriculum and this is set to change.
Strathmore Business School Institute of
Healthcare Management Director Ben Ngoye
said the course is meant to change the health-
care system in the country and the region as a
whole. Leadership, management and good
governance are like grease and oil to ensure a
smooth running of the healthcare system and
want the medical doctors to get into this space,
he said.
Doctors who will graduate with an MBA in
Healthcare Management will have gained the
requisite academic grounding and life skills to
improve the sector and living standards.

medics with management skills

KCSE candidates

By PETER KAMURI
For the last one week, there has
been a urry of activities by last years
Kenya Certicate of Secondary Edu-
cation (KCSE) candidates.
This is as they revise their univer-
sity degrees options, following the
announcement by the Kenya Univer-
sities and Colleges Central Placement
Service (KUCCPC). The agency re-
placed the former universities Joint
Admission Board (JAB).
For the rst time, students joining

lower cut off points
middle-level colleges will be admit-
ted centrally. This is likely to make
them more competitive.
If done well, public condence is
likely to be enhanced as past admis-
sions have been riddled with favouri-
tism, among other malpractices
making them only accessible to the
lucky few. The application is sup-
posed to be done online and is only
open for those who did their KCSE
last year.
FEMALE CANDIDATES
The minimum placement require-
ment to apply for bachelors degree is
grade B plain of 60 points for boys
and grade B- of 58 points for girls.
The minimum admission require-
ment to apply for a diploma is C.
However, the minimum placement

person with ability to cope with pres-
sure and has problem solving skills.
Another attractive course is actuarial
science. This is a discipline that in-
volves application of mathematics
and statistical procedures to assess
risk in the insurance and nancial
sector.
Among the most common engi-
neering related courses are civil, elec-
trical, mechanical and electronic.
Others are mechanical and produc-
tion and aeronautical programmes.
They are mainly offered by University
of Nairobi and JKUAT. Lately, eco-
nomic and statistics programme is
popular. This course involves analysis
of nancial and social situations us-
ing a range of statistical and econom-
ic tools and techniques.
Students who succeed in this area
must have a good grasp of numbers
as they are a regular part of their
work.
COMPUTER STUDIES
Other popular degree programmes
are mainly in sciences like nursing,
architecture, telecommunication and
computer related studies.
Other courses that attract more
applications include law, commerce
and economics. Good career choice
should be informed by ones ability,
interest, skills and values.
Besides the grade, it is important
to do a self-assessment to be able to
make prudent decisions.
Cases abound of students going
through degree programmes simply
because they were the only ones
available or were coerced to do so.
They end up joining the list of the
many workers who are not satised
by what they do.

Could squeezing your buttocks or recit-
ing a nursery rhyme help you beat inter-
view nerves? Here are some more unusual
ways to keep calm under pressure. Our
body seems to behave in weird ways and
the sound coming out of our mouth doesnt
seem to be our usual one. To stop nerves
getting the better of you, here are some tips
and exercises to help you nail those inter-
views:
Dont speak too fast: Nerves tend to
make us speed up, so while youre waiting
for your interview, breathe in through your
nose very slowly for a count of three. Then
breathe out through your nose for a count
of three. Repeat this three times. That
should take you a total of 18 seconds. In
that time you will have signicantly low-
ered your heart rate and when you speak,
youll nd you wont rush.
Stop yourself shaking: Simply squeeze
your buttocks or your thigh muscles. Its al-
most physically impossible to have shaky
hands if your buttocks or your thigh mus-
cles are clenched. This will help you feel
and appear more condent and most
clothes will mask your actions.
Stop your voice shaking: Open your
throat by sticking your tongue out as far as
it will go, and try to say the whole of the
Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme out loud.
This will open the back of the throat and
youll sound more condent and have
more authority. You should do this before
the interview not in front of the panel.
Stand up while you wait: You will often
be shown into a boardroom before an in-
terview and offered a seat while you wait.
Dont take it. You dont want their rst im-
pression of you to be struggling up out of
a chair, so stay standing. Youll look more
condent if you are on their level as you
rst meet them.
Find your best sitting position: Never
trust the back of a chair. You can easily end
up leaning too far back which can tighten
your throat. I recommend leaning slightly
forward on your chair. Youll look and feel
more dynamic if you sit in this position.
Show your hands: It has been proved
that we are much more likely to get a job if
we have our hands visible on the table in
front of us rather than hiding our under the
table. Showing our hands is a sign of hon-
esty.
Make the other person feel special:
Many people try too hard in a job interview
and end up merely bigging themselves up.
We have all been bored by other people go-
ing on about themselves without being the
slightest bit interested in us. Remember to
ask questions and be genuinely interest-
ed in the reply. Obviously its important to
look keen and passionate about the job on
offer but try not to simply blow your own
trumpet too much.
Listen: When were crippled with fear
and in full ight or ght mode, we nd it
hard to listen and often answer the wrong
question. So try to slow down your bodys
natural responses and listen it will also
help to make the other person feel special
and show you value their question.
Use your own voice: Try to use your
own voice rather than putting on a formal
public speaking voice. Often this is as sim-
ple as not speaking too loudly. Speak as if
you were talking with a group of friends.
Be yourself: If we are being ourselves
when meeting other people, we will come
across as relaxed, authentic and con-
dent. Guardian Careers
education in counties classied as
marginalised areas is B- of 55 points.
Candidates with disabilities will
also receive preferential treatment.
Those with visual or hearing im-
pairment with a mean grade of C+
and above can apply for a bachelors
degree programme. Those with phys-
ical impairment with at least B- of 57
points will also be considered.
Based on last years admission cri-
teria, medical related courses such as
medicine and surgery are likely to at-
tract top performers. Other areas in
this eld are pharmacy and dental
surgery. These programmes require a
Ways to attract and keep
top the Y-Generation talent
By KATHRYN DILL
Talent, and recruiting it, arent
just on the minds of campus reps
and college seniors, says Nancy
Altobello, Vice Chair of Talent at
EY. She observes that in a world
where everything is increasingly
more complex, talented, skilled
labor is more important than ev-
er beforeand theres less of it.
Talent is now being viewed
as an important resource by ex-
ecutives and by boards, Altobel-
lo told Forbes. The dichotomy
of talent being more important
and less available has invented
an executive issue.
Data from the US Bureau of
Labor Statistics says that millen-
nials only tend to stay in each job
an average of 18 months. Alto-
bello says this doesnt have to be
the case. Were starting to hear
from a lot of people whove had
two jobs in three years and want
to stay somewhere, she says.
But the work has to be interest-
ing, they dont want to keep do-
ing the same thing.
When it comes to compensa-
tion, cash is still king. In this way
millennials are just like profes-
sionals at every other stage of
their careers; the best way to at-
tract and keep the best and
brightest is to pay them well.
To younger professionals,
exibility is almost as important
as salary. Altobello says in this
context exibility means millen-
nials want choices about how to
deliver a job well done. With the
understanding that deadlines
and client needs must always be
met, they want options about
where and when they workand
they want their managers clearly
on board. People are looking for
approval around exibility.
Millennials want to be regu-
larly evaluated and advance
quicklybut theyll do the work
to get there. I
Its a regular drumbeat about
millennials. They want to be con-
stantly told how theyre doing
and see the payoff. Altobello says
managers need to understand
that this is a population accus-
tomed to quick knowledge
they grew up contacting their
parents over cell phones with a
single question, or consulting
Google GOOGL -0.17 per cent
and to view this as an opportu-
nity.
A yearly performance review
is simply not the right approach.
They want the trophies, says
Altobello, but theyre very will-
ing to earn them. On-the-job
training is essential.
According to an annual sur-
vey by Accenture of soon-to-
graduate college seniors and
graduates of the classes of 2012
and 2013, 80 per cent of 2014
graduates expect to be formally
trained by their rst employer,
but 52 per cent of professionals
who graduated from college
within the past two years say
they received no training in their
rst job. Forbes

Mombasa region games begin
By ERNEST NDUNDA
Title holders sent early warning
as the Mombasa Region Secondary

ondary School in Lamu County.
However, despite all the defend-
ing champions winning their open-
ing matches, Kaya Tiwi Secondary
School of Kwale County pulled ma-
jor surprises as they got off to win-
ning ways in both boys and girls dis-
ciplines they featured in.
In handball girls, title holders
Shimba Hills made it to the semi--
nals after winning their two opening
matches.
Shimba Hills Girls whitewashed

wi showed little
mercy before up-
setting former cham-

Evans Ochieng and David Ogwo-
dhi were the outstanding boys for

Changamwe.
In other boys handball matches,
Shimba Hills walloped Mombasas
Kajembe 24-1 while defending
champions Shimo La Tewa of Mom-
basa hit Kenyatta Mwatate of Taita
Taveta 27-16.
RALLYING FROM BEHIND
In netball, title holders Shimba
Hills got off to a ying start after they
clobbered Kajembe 71-6. Kajembe
recovered to beat Mpeketoni of La-
mu 34-13, Franz Joseph of Kwale lost
26-38 to St Johns Kaloleni, while
Mwakiwiwi of Taita Taveta stopped
Lamus Hongwe 40-9.
In rugby sevens, St Georges of

ter a
s l i m

CRICKET: Chris Jordan
inspires England win
Chris Jordan claimed ve
wickets as England bowled Sri
Lanka out for 67 runs, their
third lowest total in one-day
internationals, to help win the
third ODI with a resounding 10-
wicket victory on Wednesday.
England have a 2-1 lead in the
ve-match series heading into
the fourth encounter at Lords
on Saturday. Jordan, who also
secured the man-of-the-match
award after impressing with
bat and ball in the rst ODI,
continued to press his claim for
a place in Englands test squad
with another performance full
of aggression and enthusiasm
in Manchester. After we lost
at Durham, we wanted to ght
back hard, Jordan told BBC
radio. Reuters
GOLF: Woods withdraws
from the US Open
Tiger Woods withdrew from
the US Open on Wednesday as
he recovers from back surgery
that has kept him out of golf
for nearly three months. It
will be the second U.S. Open,
and sixth major, he has missed
because of injury over the last
six years. The US Open is June
12-15 at Pinehurst No. 2, where
Woods tied for third in 1999
and was runner-up in 2005. The
announcement on his website
was not surprising. A week
ago at a promotional event for
the Quicken Loans National at
Congressional, Woods said he
still had not taken a full swing
with a golf club and did not
know when he could.

Joint trial event to pick teams
to Glasgow and Marrakech
FOCUS ON AK SELECTION
By JONATHAN KOMEN
Athletics Kenya will stage
a joint trial competition to
select teams to the Common-
wealth Games and Africa
Championships at Nyayo Na-
tional Stadium on June 5-7.
AK has resolved to merge
the competitions into one,
nationals-cum-trials cham-
pionships, which will run for
three days.
David Okeyo, the AK Vice
President in charge of com-
petitions, said they decided
to push the trials back to al-
low athletes who will com-
pete in Rome Diamond
League ample time to chase
for national team slots.
We have decided to
merge the two events. Ath-
letes, who will compete in
Rome Diamond League (June
5), will arrive in Nairobi on
June 6 and compete as
guests.
They will not compete
for their various institutions
or even score points for
them, Okeyo told FeverPitch
yesterday.
Last week, AK announced
the changes in selections and
resolved to have one team for
Commonwealth Games and
Senior Africa Athletics Cham-
pionships.
CLEAR THE AIR
Okeyo had said the na-
tional championships will be
held on June 5-6 at the Nyayo
National Stadium before the
trials on June 7.
AK wants to allow the 23
athletes taking part in the
IAAF Diamond League in
Rome on June 4th time to re-
lax and travel home for the
trials. The same athletes will
also be expected to partici-
pate in another IAAF Dia-
mond League race in Oslo,
Norway on June 11.
Okeyo said AK wants to
offer level ground to the ath-
letes and give them the op-
portunity to seek tickets for
the Club Games and conti-
nental championships with-
out interfering with their
participation in the IAAF or-
ganised events.
The athletes have signed
contracts to run in the Dia-
mond League and if they fail
to take part in any race, they
risk being sanctioned by the
athletics world governing
body, Okeyo said in a press
conference at Riadha House
yesterday.
CLUB GAMES
The ofcial said the last
date for athletes registration
with the National Olympic
Committee of Kenya (NOCK)
for the Commonwealth
Games is June 12.
Kenya will select only
one team for the Common-
wealth Games to be held in
Glasgow, Scotland, and the
Africa Athletics Champion-
ships in Marakkech, Moroc-
co.
We want to send a strong
team to Morroco as the
championships will be used
as a qualier for the Conti-
nental Cup, said Okeyo.
The vice chairman said
the 10,000m and 20km walk
for men and women athletes
are the only races whose tri-
als will be held during the na-
tional championships.
Okeyo said IAAF has clear
qualifying times for athletes
seeking to participate in the
championships.
Teams are only supposed
to enter athletes who meet
the qualifying times, which
we have set to make the event
competitive. Any of our af-
liates that outs this rule
will be penalised, he said..

PARIS
Defending champion Ra-
fael Nadal handed out a bruis-
ing lesson to highly-rated
Austrian Dominic Thiem on
Thursday as a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3
win took the Spaniard into the
French Open third round.
Eight-time winner Nadal,
bidding to be the rst man to
clinch ve Roland Garros ti-
tles in a row, had been expect-
ed to face a severe test from
the 20-year-old world num-
ber 57.
But Thiem, who trains for
big matches by running
through forests carrying tree
trunks to build stamina, ran
out of steam on Philippe Cha-
trier court despite showing
occasional glimpses of poten-
tial.
Nadal took his career re-
cord in Paris to 61 wins against
a single loss and goes on to
face either Leonardo Mayer of
Argentina or Russias Teymu-
raz Gabashvili.
Dominic is a dangerous
player and I knew that if I
wasnt playing well then Id be
in trouble, said Nadal.
But he is a future star, 100
percent. His level of ball is
very high, he is strong on the
forehand and backhand. He
has everything to be a big
champion.
Thiem had beaten Austra-
lian Open champion Stan
Wawrinka in Madrid and gave
27-year-old Nadal plenty to
think about in an eight-min-
ute opening game.
But Nadal proceeded to
pounce on Thiems raw in-
consistencies which saw the
young Austrian break the
Spaniard twice only to be bro-
ken himself seven times and
commit 41 unforced errors.
Nadals compatriot David
Ferrer, the fth seed and last
years runner-up, cruised past
Italys Simone Bolelli 6-2, 6-3,
6-2 and next faces either Ita-
lys Andreas Seppi or Juan
Monaco of Argentina.
Ferrer has made the quar-
ter-nals of all of his last nine
majors and such was the ease
of his fth win in ve against
Bolelli that the challenging
part of his day was elding
questions over his grooming.
I changed my haircut.
Thats all. But there is nothing
superstitious about it, said
the Spaniard. Donald Young
made the third round for the
rst time by beating Spaniard
Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 7-6 (7/1),
6-3. AFP

Movement of the ball must be discernible
By THE ALBATROSS

Golf Rule 18-2a provides that if a
player, his partner, caddie or equip-
ment causes his ball in play to move,
the player incurs a one penalty stroke
and the ball must be replaced.
The only reprieve for the replace-
ment is when the movement of the
ball occurs after the player has begun
the stroke or the backward movement
of the club for the stroke and the
stroke is made. Thus when a player is
unable to check his swing at the ball,
he is allowed not to replace the ball
but he still suffers the one stroke pen-
alty.
And remember that movement is
movement in any direction; and in-
cludes a ball dropping lower down in-
to the grass than the original lie.
Having said that, some of these
movements are often undetectable by
anybody else other than the player
himself; and, occasionally, some are
barely perceptible.
But this is where we remind all
golfers that golf is a self policing game,
if any such movement occurs, or is
deemed to have occurred, the player
is obligated to call the penalty on him-
self.
But mistakes occur; even at the
highest level of the game. When they
do, the gentlemanly thing to do is to
admit the error, correct it and move
on.
In the 2014 edition of The Players
Championship, played in the second
week of April, Justine Rose, the English
Professional golfer on the PGA Tour
was assessed a two stroke penalty on
Saturday after his ball was perceived
to have moved during play of the 18th
hole, after he had addressed it. As
Rose had not replaced the ball
he drew the additional pen-
alty stroke, bringing the total
to two.
The circumstances of
Roses penalty were a bit un-
usual as the movement of
the ball could only be con-
rmed after three separate
reviews using high denition
cameras.
So Justin Rose went to
sleep on Saturday night hav-
ing suffered a two strokes penalty and
started his Sunday round without the
two strokes penalty. Sounds weird?
Here are the details.
For some reason, early on Sunday
morning, the competition rules com-
mittee re-opened the issue of Roses
penalty and reviewed the situation on
three separate high denition camer-
as and highly magnied images: one
high denition image was magnied
fty times!
In fairness, we must point out that
on the Saturday in question, Justin
Rose had backed away from the ball,
after address, and not being quite sure
whether the ball had moved, called
over his playing partner and together
they reviewed the position on video
and decided that the ball had not
moved.
This then was scenario the
rules ofcials in the competi-
tion had started off with.
Under The Decisions on
The Rules of Golf, Decision
18-4, The ball will not be
deemed to have moved if
that movement was not rea-
sonably discernible to the
naked eye at the time.
This is the decision the
committee relied on to re-
scind the decision of the pre-
vious evening but it is unclear why it
had not been invoked earlier.
Perhaps we might mention here
that both the competition committee
and the PGA Rules Committee con-
sulted with the Royal & Ancient Rules
Committee (R&A) and the US Golf As-
sociation before concluding to rescind
their decision.
And as we carry on this discussion,
lets all remember that, under the
Rules of Golf, a ball is deemed to have
moved if it leaves its position and
comes to rest in any other place. It
does not matter how slight that move-
ment is, provided it is perceptible. But
if the ball oscillates and comes back to
its original position, that ball has not
moved.
Decision 18-4 runs as follows.
Question: A player addresses his
ball. He observes a slight motion of the
ball but believes that it has only oscil-
lated and has not left its original posi-
tion. He therefore plays the ball as it
lies.
Later, the Committee becomes
aware from television evidence that
the ball had in fact left its position and
come to rest in another place, al-
though that change of position was
such that it was not reasonably dis-
cernible to the naked eye at the time
of the incident. What is the ruling?
Answer. The ball is deemed not to
have moved and therefore there is no
penalty under Rule 18-2b. The deni-
tion of moved when a ball leaves
its position and comes to rest in any
other place does not contemplate
movements of the ball that are only
discernible through the use of high
denition television or any other form
of sophisticated technology.

Progresso stop
Abo to nish
third in Congo
By REBECCA GICHANA IN BRAZZAVILLE
Angolas Progresso came from
behind to beat Abo Sport of Congo
22-21 to clinch bronze as the 30th
edition of Africa Clubs Handball
Winners Cup Championships head-
ed for the home stretch yesterday in
Oyo Complex, Brazzaville, Congo.
The highly contested encounter
saw the home team Abo Sport who
lost narrowly to Fap from Camer-
oon in the semi-nals fall again to
Progresso in the womens third
place play offs.
The match started with the home
team scoring three fast goals in the
rst six minutes.
Sensing the danger of being
locked out of the podium position,
the Angolan side replied with three
goals to level matters before the vis-
itors opened a 6-5 lead in the rst
quarter.
Progresso later extended their
narrow lead to 8-6 in the 20th min-
ute.
Due to the pressure from the
home crowd, Abo changed tact and
levelled scores to 9-9 four minutes
to the end of the rst half only for
the visitors to
Three minutes to the end of the
rst half, the visitors opened the
gap to 12-9 and went ahead to the
breather with a 13-10 lead.
On resumption, Progresso com-
mitted numerous fouls that saw
their two players suspended for two
minutes.
ON RECEIVING END
In the third quarter, the teams
settled for a 17-all draw but 10 min-
utes to the end of the match, Abo,
who were on the receiving end,
trailed 19-20, a situation which saw
Abo coach call for his third and last
technical time out to give pep talk
to his players.
However, this never worked
when they failed to score with their
opponents leading 22-21.
Last editions runners up, Inter
Club from Congo, nished fth
when they defeated Asel, also from
Congo, 31-26.
The mens matches, which were
played in a round robin format, will
see Salinas of Gabon battle it out
with Fap of Cameroon in the last
matches of the championship.
Al Ahly from Egypt will lock
horns against Esperance from Tuni-
sia before Fap of Cameroon play Af-
rica Womens Club champions Petro
Atletico of Angola in the nals of the
womens encounter.

LONDON
Nigeria coach Stephen
Keshi launched a furious de-
fence of his players follow-
ing Wednesdays 2-2 draw
with Scotland in a match
whose build-up had been
disrupted over a matchxing
investigation being
launched.
Keshi, who captained Ni-
geria at the 1994 World Cup
nals, said his World Cup -
nals-bound players were not
gamblers they were foot-
ballers and ridiculed allega-
tions that anything sinister
had taken place.
The game was threatened
after Britains serious crime
squad the National Crime
Agency were called to inves-
tigate a possible threat of
match-xing linked to illegal
betting rings ahead of the
game at Fulhams ground in
London.
But Keshi, who coached
Nigeria to the Africa Cup of
Nationa title last year, said
his team were not affected
by the off-eld issues before
the kick-off.
DEFENSIVE
We did (talk about it) be-
cause its something ridicu-
lous, something that we
dont know where its com-
ing from. Were not gam-
blers, we are football play-
ers, said Keshi.
I dont even know where
that is coming from, we dont
know what happened, match
xing or no match xing.
This is the rst time Ive
been a coach or been a play-
er and the rst time Im
hearing this, match-xing. I
dont think it had anything
to do with our build-up or
the game.
On the pitch Charlie Mul-
grew opened the scoring for
the Tartan Army after 10
minutes before Michael
Uchebo equalised with four
minutes left of the rst half.
The Scots regained the
lead through a bizarre own
goal by reserve goalkeeper
buike Azubuike Egwuekwe
who appeared to ick the
ball into his own net from
James Morrisons cross in
the 52nd minute.
LAST MINUTE
But super-sub Uche Nwo-
for converted an equaliser in
stoppage time in a game that
the Nigerians looked second
best in throughout.
Scotland coach Gordon
Strachan was delighted with
the way his side played as
they extended their unbeat-
en streak to six - whilst also
refusing to be drawn on the
match-xing storm.
I liked that perfor-
mance, said Strachan. I
think the only thing we had
a problem with is that some
of the lads have not trained
for three weeks and have
been on holiday.
We could have ended up
with four or ve goals and
thats the rst time I have
said that. In terms of play so
far, thats as good as it gets.
Overall I think there was a
bit of air and imagination,
which I like and it was
against a top side.
It is something we have
been working on and we
want to take it up a level, Ni-
geria are a terric side and
they upped their level and
pressure. There is a lot to be
proud of and Im just disap-
pointed for them that we
havent got the win.

Mexico rout
Israel 3-0 in
WC friendly
MEXICO CITY
Mexico got two goals
from Miguel Layun to beat
Israel 3-0 in a pre-World Cup
friendly on Wednesday, but
got a scare when starting
goalkeeper Jesus Corona
was injured in a collision
with a teammate.
Layun scored in the 42nd
and 62nd minutes, and Mar-
co Fabian added a goal in
the 85th. Layun, who made
his debut for Mexico in 1995
and played in three World
Cups.
Corona sustained a head
injury after crashing into
Francisco Rodriguez and
was replaced in the 70th by
Guillermo Ochoa.
He was the teams starter
through most of Mexicos
World Cup qualifying cam-
paign and the 2013 Confed-
erations Cup in Brazil.
We dont know yet what
is wrong with Jesus. He is go-
ing to be tested and then we
can give a status, coach
Miguel Herrera said. I spoke
briey with him and he said
that he was ne, but we need
to wait.
Herrera did not rule out
going on its pre-World Cup
US tour without him. Mexi-
co will play Ecuador in a
friendly on Saturday in Ar-
lington, Texas.
They then face Bosnia-
Herzegovina on Tuesday
night in Chicago and close
its warm-up schedule
against Portugal on June 6 in
Foxborough, Massachusetts.
The team travels to Sao Pau-
lo the next day.
Mexico plays its rst

Former Man Utd owner Glazer dies at 85
TAMPA, FLORIDA
Malcolm Glazer, the self-
made billionaire who led the
takeover of English footballs
Manchester United and owned
the NFLs Tampa Bay Bucca-
neers, has died.
The Bucs said Glazer died
Wednesday. He was 85.
The reclusive Palm Beach,
Florida, businessman had
been in failing health since
April 2006 when a pair of
strokes left him with impaired
speech and limited mobility in
his right arm and leg.
Glazer raised his prole in
2005 with a $1.47 billion take-
over of Manchester United
that was bitterly opposed by
fans of one of the worlds rich-
est football clubs.
Before that, his unobtru-
sive management style helped
transform the Bucs from a
laughingstock into a model
franchise that in 2003 won the
Super Bowl 48-21 over the
Oakland Raiders.
The thoughts of everyone
at Manchester United are with
the family tonight, the team
said in a statement
Born August 25, 1928, in
Rochester, New York, the son
of a watch-parts salesman,
Glazer began working for the
family business when he was
eight and took over the opera-
tion as a teenager when his fa-
ther died in 1943.
In March 2010, Forbes
ranked him as tied for the
worlds 400th richest person,
estimating his net worth at
$2.4 billion. The magazines
separate ranking of Americans
put him and his family at 139.
He purchased the Bucs for
a then-NFL record $192 mil-
lion in 1995. The Glazer family
didnt get a warm reception in
Britain, where United fans
protested and burned Glazers
likeness in efgy because they
feared the American was ac-
quiring the team purely for -
nancial gain.
Under Glazer Man United
won the League Cup in 2006,
2009 and 2010, the English
Premier League from 2007-09,
2011 and 2013 and European
Cup and Club World Cup titles
in 2008. AP

Papa face Chui as Ndovu meet Kifaru in last four in Machakos
Stars play hosts Comoros in
return leg of Cup qualier
capable of nishing the job
today.
Most fans believe we
should have won by a big
margin because this is
Comoros. What they forget
is that football has changed
and there are no longer
minnows in African football.
The one goal we got at
home is important and all
we need to do is build on
that. The fact is our oppo-
nents will be under pressure
at home and we can take
advantage and win, he
revealed.
On the absence of top
striker Dennis Oliech, Origi
said: The truth is Dennis is
a big player and the team
needs him. Even if he does
not play, his presence is a
big motivation for the young
boys.
In this situation
however, we understand
why the coach had to drop
him because he explained to
us and there is nothing we
can do about it. It is an
opportunity for the other
players to rise up and show
the country what they can
do.
Oliech was left out by
coach Adel Amrouche after
he missed training for more
than a week.
In the absence of Oliech,
Amrouche has three other
options upfront. They
include Edwin Lavatsa,
Jacob Keli and Allan Wanga.
Wanga was Oliechs
striking partner in the rst
leg which Kenya won 1-0. In
mideld, the team also has
Albania-based Francis
Kahata who is available after
missing the rst leg as he
had lost his passport.
Kahata will battle it out
for a starting place against a
star-studded cast that
includes Johana Omollo,
Ayub Timbe and Macdonald
Mariga. Even the absence of
Jamal Mohammed will not
be missed here.
Fans in the island believe
their team will make it
through to the next round
and have promised to come
out it in large numbers to
root for their club.
The winner of todays
match will meet either
Liberia or Lesotho in the
next qualication round.
It is only after here that
Stars will make it to the
group stages of the quali-
ers for a place in the 2015
Africa Cup of Nations nals.
Stars have not played in
the nals for more than ten
years. The last time they
made an appearance at this
stage was in 2004 when the
competition was hosted by
Tunisia.

together players drawn from two or three club teams. At the as-
sembling stage, the various coaching staff from respective fran-
chise select 30 players to represent the team in the tournament.
According to Kenya Rugby Unions website, kenyarfu.com;
Martin Muita, Edwins Makori (Ndovu), George Mutuku (UAP Ki-
faru) and Bush Mwale (Nguvu Papa) are all tied atop the BRSS
points scorers charts with 10
points each. The Series has so
far seen a total of 24 tries, 12
conversions, 3 drop goals and
11 penalties scored.
Legendary rugby coach and
player Benjamin Ayimba told
FeverPitch he was satised
with the organisation of the
games, saying that the deci-
sion not to include the boys in
the national Kenya 15s side
was the best.
At the same time, Bamburi
Cement Group External Affairs
and Communications Manag-
er Mary Mueni reiterated La-
farges commitment in devel-
oping rugby not only in Kenya
but in the East African region.
This year, we decided to
take rugby to the grassroots as
well as to make the sports
spirit remain alive not only in
Nairobi but in Kenya and be-
yond our borders, Mueni
said.
After the semis, action re-
turns to Nairobi for the nal to
be played on June 7.
KRU chairman Mwangi
Muthee said the nals will be
of its own kind and will see
rugby fans treated to a special

ern Province match at the

STARS ZEALOUS TO
OUTWIT COMOROS
By GILBERT WANDERA
in MORONI, COMOROS
Norway-based goalkeeper Arnold Origi has captured the
importance of todays Africa Cup of Nations qualier against
Comoros by insisting that it is the last chance for a good num-
ber of players in the team to qualify for the nals.
Kenya and Comoros play today at the Mitsamihuli
International Stadium with an eye to the next stage of the
qualiers. The match kicks off at 3pm.
Origi is making a come-back to the team after missing
out on the rst leg due to club engagements and he has
declared that Stars cannot afford to lose.
For a good number of players and myself included,
this is the last chance we have to try and qualify for the
Africa Cup of Nations nals. This is an idea shared by
senior players in the team.
We understand that it will be a shame for us to retire
without playing in the Nations Cup nals, he told
FeverPitch hours after the team touched down in the
Indian Ocean Island.
Origi believes Stars did enough in the rst leg and are
Origi says its last chance for
senior players to make Cup nals

Sankara party buzz hit
Nairobi last Saturday
evening, Pulse paparazzi
Pius Cheruiyot and I
opted to drive down to
Machakos town where
another major screening
of the game was going
on.
On this weekend, too,
the new talk-about
state-of-the-art Machakos
Peoples Park was
playing host to the
Groove Tour and the debut Machawood movie, Love and
Deceit was launching at the same venue on this night.
Quite a plethora of showbiz buzz going on down there!
Ready to usher in was this New Jersey based lm
producer, director and actor Daniel Kioko, the chap behind
the movie whose theme revolves around a tale of two
Kenyan friends and their mixed fortunes back home and at
the land of milk and honey.
In the lm, Semi, a guy who enjoys multiple relation-
ships, inuences Eddy to cheat on his girlfriend Ruth.
From then on theirs is life on the rst-lane as they oss
with fancy cars and everything glitz.
As I sat there, I reect on how the Kenyan urban
lifestyle has changed over the years and there was the nag
on how young girls are now prowling on those ashy and
wealthy men who seem meet all their wildest dreams at
the swipe of the Visa card.
The movie is a reection of our urban society where the
love and hate game seems to be dominating relationships.
One moment, a celebrity thought he was just dating a girl
for the fun of it and before he knows it, she is there with a
child, pushing for marriage if not child support on top of
your family. Two of our features revolve around this topic
as we usher you to the activity marked long weekend.
As you party in the new month, just remember: actions
have consequences.

Love and decei t
Willy, you
wheeled it!
A lot of bile has been building between
gospel singer Willy Paul and many of his
showbiz admirers since he returned from
his tour abroad.
First, the guy came back with a twang
after a two months outing and then dipped
himself into controversy after going red on a
life TV show.
It has been long coming, but many
seemed completely fed up with Willy Pauls
seeming dont care pride and a level of
arrogance that he portrayed during the
show.
Among other things, Willy went ahead to
say he got a B+ in KCSE, that is last year
after doing homeschooling forhow long,
with a tutor he only used to tip. Then after
that, he reacted furiously to calls to get his
results slip public saying his result slip had
nothing to do with the public. How soon he
had forgotten that he is the same fellow
who announced the whole I am doing
exams, please pray for me thing for
starters?
On his return, he branded himself a new
aka, Willy Paul Msa! Msa? How this guy
keeps on trying to be a Diamond wannabe
is just very annoying!
Willy, no one is trying to nish you as you
tried to put it. You are your own destruction!
Fame seems to have gone to your head,
you are not that humble God servant image
we saw when we discovered you. But the
good thing is, it is not too late to change.
Feel the wind, get in touch with reality and
listen to advice like you used to listen back
then. In the meantime, there goes the
Groove Awards!
The best vocalists are not yet born!

VIDEO review
ARTISTE: Nazizi
RATING: 6/10
254
N
azizi is pulling a come-
back and to cheer
up her fans she has
released the video to
254 her latest single
off her Evo-lussion EP. The video
is an average clip shot in different
hoods within Nairobi with an aim to
commensurate with the lyrics in the
song that basically narrates citys
hoods and its legends.
Noticeable is that the hoods cap-
tured in the clip does not do justice,
the scenes capture very little in terms
of hoods representation with some of
the images seemly repeated and too
fast with unstable shots.
The entire video portrays Nazizi as
a tomboy; her lyrical prowess in the
clip is remarkable. Her rhymes blend
in well with the grafti walls and the
extras in the clips also helps to bring
out the hip pop feel in the clip.
Prezzo makes an appearance in
the video, alongside Sappy. The spe-
cial video effects used in the video,
the camera positioning, editing and
mastering of the entire video is fair.

P: What outrageous thing would he do to
get media attention?
M: Get on top of a building and threaten
to jump. When he has gathered a crowd, he
would start singing to show off his singing
prowess.
P: If he were not an artiste, what would
he be?
M: That guy who hawks water in estates
for Sh20 per container. That takes real talent!
P: Pick a movie character that depicts his

M: He is like Scratte, the squirrel in Ice
Age. He is so xated and determined to do
stuff that do not help him.
P: If he were stuck on an island, what
would he not survive without?
M: His hair gel, that he constantly smears
on his newly acquired dreadlocks.
NJOSE ON MUGIKUYU
Pulse: Describe Mugikuyu
Njose: An illiterate guy who loves to sing
about money he does not have.
P: Between the two of you, who would win
the Grammys ?
N: I would win uncontested. This is be-
cause for starters I am like a mentor to Mugi-
kuyu and he can never outshine the teacher.
Then again SOC is my Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR). How hard can a win be.
P: What would you change about Mugi-
kuyus singing?
N: The content of his songs. Singing about
money every time will not help him grow right.
Someone should save him from that mentality.
P: If you were to pick a celebrity date for
Mugikuyu, who would it
be?
N: His girl-
VERDICT
Poking fun may not be these
guys rst love but some of the
wit they ooze here makes them
good recruits. Mugikuyus punch
lines are more direct as he takes
on a rather timid Njose. It is a
balanced ght that has Mugikuyu
claiming the win, thanks to his
consistency.

specically in Mombasa, for the
past four months and she has
already appeared in entertainment
pages on more occasions than
she would want. Born Salma Tamim to a
Tanzanian mother and a Kenyan dad, Sabby,
who is a rened actress in Tanzania is said to be
involved with a music producer in Mombasa, a
claim she brushes off.
I am a sociable person and producer
SPOTLIGHT
Sabby about an album she has been working
on.
The rumoured relationship comes at a time
when some photos appeared online of her
and another man said to be her husband, with
claims that she was a serial cheat.
He was my husband but we divorced a
long time ago. We have a son together but the
relationship ended after seven months. It was
a very trying time and I am glad I am over him,
said Sabby about her sons father.
The bad experience I had with him is basi-
cally what made me a focused person. At the
moment, I choose my career over any good
man out there, notes Sabby, who quotes
Rihanna as her role model.
Sabby has also been said to be seeing the
CEO of Coast Films Production and Mombasa
showbiz honcho Haissan Faisal, after she
was, on several occasions, spotted attending
events with him.
Hassan is like a big brother to me and we
cant even get involved romantically, remarks
the curvaceous actress who is known for her
bold photo shoots that have frequently caused
a stir for their revealing nature.
The moment I became a star, I accepted
the fact that my life would always be under
scrutiny. That is a cross I will have to bear, she
notes, about the constant rumuors now sur-
rounding her life.
She has also faced embarrassing mo-
ments.
Recently, she was involved in an alterca-
tion with a guard at a radio station in Mombasa
after she was asked to vacate the premises for
what she alleges was religious discrimination.
The guard explained that I was not al-
lowed on the premises and it was all because
I had a hijab on. It was scary and humiliating,
Sabby remarks, with regret over the suspicious
terrorism undercurrents at the moment.
Sabby grew up in both Kenya and Tanza-
nia, studying in Kenya while visiting her mum
in Moshi during school holidays. She would
kick-start her acting career in 2009 as a model
before commercials came calling. In 2010, she

that. I have been in over ten major lms and
more commercials than I can count and as a
model, I have a huge prole, the model, who

gramme aimed for Mombasa youth claims.
Speaking about Mombasa, Sabby ex-
plains that she is frustrated by the way the
showbiz scene in the region is lukewarm, con-
sidering the abundance of talent in the region.
The industry is disappointing and it hurts
me that the people around are comfortable
with the situation. A lot needs to be done and
I am working tirelessly to change things, she

ngrids main problem is that she is
of mixed race. That is the gospel
according to Lena. Ingrid did not
attend Lenas bridal shower. I did
not attend it either but she somehow
seems to have gotten over it. The truth is had
Ingrid and I really cared to attend we would
have but Felicity provided the perfect excuse
by sending the invites exactly 13 hours before
the event.
Is she trying to say that all those people
who came dont have lives? Thats why they
dont need notice? Lena is turning pink under
her high yellow skin. Lena has an endless list
of transgressions against Ingrid including
that horrid English accent she affects and
wearing her hair down and out. We can
see you are mixed race, you do not need to
constantly point it out.
In her rants Lena claims that she will not
have Ingrid at her invite-only wedding.
This will also not draw a comment from me.
I have been here too many times. Ingrid will
denitely get her invite at the last minute if
only so Lena can glory in this her most recent
accomplishment.
She has won the race down the aisle.
In truth the trouble with began with a
certain Nick who is quite frankly not worth
half the trouble he caused.
Lena and Ingrid used to be best of friends,
so much so that it was a given that they would
be each others best maids.
Back then Nick was Lenas boo and had
been for about four years. The same Nick
who walked around declaring his preference
for yellow-yellows. Then Lena went off
to Pretoria for campus. Nick and Ingrid had
started up a romance and by the time Lena
came back last year they were live-in partners.
Somehow this change had been expertly
manoeuvred. None of us turned against
Ingrid or went for Lena. The two continued
to exist in the same social circles. While the
friendship certainly chilled, any hostilities
between Lena and Ingrid were rmly bottled
up. This allowed us to pretend the entire affair
had never happened.
Then one drunken day Nick joked about
having upgraded from faded African yellow
Lena to Proper yellow Ingrid: Since then
things have never been the same.

ou jua how you wake up
n you just know tis gonna
be a good Friday (unless of
course its two thao n four-
teen years, n a month ago,
n yur Yesu, n yu know they gonna Gethse-
mane yur candy buttski?) + Well, thaz how
last Saturday felt.
Me n my bruv Jerry Cecil dressed in
our blue footer outts n were outta the crib
by 9 a.m. and on two scooters up crowded
Mbagathi Way (coz twas the day of the
Mater-Standard heart run) and down to
Psys/Hooters in tao, where Ma-Fans were
gathering for our annual end-o-season
goat-eating trip to Oloo-Teepees (as op-
posed to Ole Polos, where we been goin
b4).
We were met by Ma-Fans creyzie trea-
surer Festus Munene aka Nasri (whom we
were in starch with) and I also saw Charles
Nguna aka Carzola smile for the rst tyme
in ten years as he donated chumz for a
mbuzi, ati coz the goons won a trophy (Fa
cup) dat week.
Eventually we rolled in a convo to
oloo-Teepees, me evanescently in a Subra
with Chelski fan n Ringtones producer Tim
Boikwa n his chicka, and when the convo
paused at Tuskees in a foreign country
(Rongai) 4 refreshments, random custom-
ers were subjected to a random poll by the
ma-fans mob ati which team dyu sup-
port?
The Goons rigged themselves to top
spot!
At oloo-Teepees, we found no mbuzi,
dint want mutton, but the manager there
convinced us to settle for ndopa, which
is a x-breed between a goat + a sheep. As
Giddy aka Arshavin alias Lord Goat-Slayer
(I just started watchin Game o Thrones
Sunday, so imam into feudal titles) slew
the ndopas, I ed for beer cans n to greet
ole Pulse crew Tony the Banter Ngare n
Elvis Ogina, notta mention Noah Mourinho
wa China Muga man.
Mafans nally settled to a nine/aside
game of soccer of Arsenal Mafans versus
The Others (but we preferred to call our-
selves the Coalition Of the Willing ama the
COWS of Chelsea FC and Man U there
waz only one Liverpool fan, and he waz
kedo fte).
In spite of the Goon Squads makelele
(and their theme song this season, this
season), the Cows beat em four/three
with Red Devil Bett our four-goal hero ka
Arshavin versus Liverpool years ago (our
Giddy Arshavin just sat with the WAGS un-
der a tree, drinking beer n making noise ka
ya vuvuzela). Watt, with our big Roy Terry
in defense, our Abdul Brown Oterrorist
in attack, the Smitta as the mideld Ras
Lukaku spoiler, the Banter takin occasional
rest breaks during the game (heh heh) n
Nasri going out with a meta-tarsal injury,
(for which team doc Eva applied vodka), the
Goons coont the Cows.
Victory secured, twas tyme for eating,
elections, drinkin n general merry-makin.
The elections were actually a coup detat
master-minded by one Sec Gen Justus aka
Demba Ba, where our old chairman Babu
waz ruthlessly replaced by new chair Charlo
Carzola. A drunk Jack Osuji (coz of his gruff
voice ka ya Yule jaji wa ICC) made a lot of
noise, but waz told he can go to the Su-
preme Court (where hell nd Mafans patron

old Smokin Wanjala). These mean senti-
ments came from either NMG designers
Oscar Mluhya ama Linus O.
I then chatted a lil wit one tall Sichuma
(ni Mti) n his nice GF, made a lil fun of our
Huddah and we all played sunset ball
where one Sara Palin, a dude, got the

MICCHECK
Pulse: You studied journalism at
Aviation College, but you are now a
musician. How did that happen?
Blaqy: While in college, I realised
that writing was a waste of time for
me. It was something I did since my
parents would not allow me to quit pri-
mary school to pursue music. Even my
numerous suspensions and expulsions
would not convince them that school
was not my cup of tea.
P: Your debut song Show Me
caught the attention of the Kenya Clas-
sication Board leading to the songs
ban. Do you believe the video and
song in general was too obscene and
vulgar?
B: The song is an expression of my
passion for music especially since I
do not nd any real Kenyan musicians
that I can emulate. Even after spend-
ing Sh1 million on the video, I sought
to nd out why they banned it but the
board keeps delaying its response.
P: You really spent Sh1 million on
the video? Give us the breakdown
B: There were 40 ladies in the video
whom I paid Sh10,000 each. I dished
out Sh30,000 for the Kitengela location,
that I had to pay Sh200 per hour for
each person for use of the pool. I paid
Sh50,000 for the Mash Auto Garage
location.
P: That barely gets us to any gure
close to a million shillings
B: The rest was met on transport
and expensive wine.
P: Transport and wine? That
sounds ridiculous. It is still a humon-
gous unrealistic sum...
B: It is my money
P: Anyway, it is said that you in-
tended to do a remix of the song with
Konshens, but the plan did not pull
through as you are a nobody. What
conspired?
B: I tweeted Conscious (Konsh-
ens) with a proposition to do a remix
of the song. He responded a month
later then I thought; the classication
board would ban it as well and I shall
be wasting my money since I was
footing all associated expenses.
P: You are saying he was ready but
you stopped the plan?
B: I tweeted him cancelling our
plan. However, by the time he saw my
tweet, he was already in Kenya and
even confessed at the Churchill Show
that he was to do a Collabo with me.
P: Since the remix hit a dead end,
do you intend to work with any Kenyan
dancehall artistes?
B: No Kenyan sings dancehall, not
even Wyre or Redsan. What they sing
is Reggae and Popstar. Dancehall is
characterised by a lot of shaking of the
behind and use of non-English lan-
guage that those so-called dancehall
music lack.
P: Are you saying you have no re-
spect for Wyre and Redan?
B: I challenge the two to a dance-
hall musician crown duel at the Car-
nivore. I shall foot all expenses. They
should retire as they have nothing new
to offer to this generation.
P: After Show Me you released Dip
it and Drop It. Was the reception any
better compared to the previous song?
B: The songs video was scripted
by my advisor, Mzazi Willy Tuva who I
think is the best person to work with.
The song therefore gets airplay on his
show. However, DJ Pinye refuses to
play it citing quality issues even after
I spent Sh2.3 million on it. Other radio
presenters ask for bribes in order to
play my songs.
P: At one point you jumped ship
into the gospel industry and released,
Atukuzwe Milele. What drove you to do
that?
B: I do not see
a problem with me
singing Dancehall
and Gospel. I do not
do gospel for money unlike
most artistes. If I am ever
called upon to perform, I
shall never charge a single
cent, but if they offer a token
of appreciation, who am I to
decline?
P: Is that not some sort of
double standards?
B: The Roman Catholic
Church drinks wine in broad day-
light and Jesus turned water into
wine, a sign that He approves of it.
I see no problem doing gospel and
dancehall, neither do I see a prob-
lem being in the club on Friday and
ministering on Sunday.
P: It has been alleged that
you intend to venture into hip-
hop. How true is that?
B: I have noticed a massive
lack of seriousness in hip-hop.
Octopizzo is the only hip-hop
artiste I appreciate. The rest
are just wasting their time
beeng around, just to look
for attention. Given time, I am
sure I will emerge better than
Octoppizo.
P: Music aside, are you in a
relationship?
B: I am in love with a girl by
the name Halima, whose second
name I will not reveal as she is
in the public eye, and I would
not want people to know her.
We have been dating for
close to two years.
P: but you have a big
tattoo with the name Caro-
line well inked besides that of
Halima. Who is Caroline?
B: Caroline is my rst love. I had
this tattoo when we were dating.
Dancehall artiste Blacky is the most controversial singer
in the industry now. His debut video Show Me has
been classied as too obscene for TV and as ROSE
KWAMBOKA found out, this is just a born rebel

COVERSTORY
C
elebrity TV anchor, Swaleh
Mdoe one of Kenyas
ladys eye candy sounded
bamboozled after a lady,
Ms Fauzia Ahmed went to court seeking
Sh21,000 monthly child support for a child
she alleged he sired.
I have never cohabited with the
plaintiff, as she has failed to provide any
details of where we lived. Im a married
man with a wife and children, and it would
not have been possible to cohabit with
someone else, Mdoe is quoted to have
dismissed, as he vehemently refuted the
rumours.
The lady had claimed they cohabited
since 2001 and got a baby girl in 2004 as
a result of the union. Now, Fauzia took
the issue to the childrens court for legal
intervention.
It was around the same time when a
woman sued former National Assembly
Speaker Kenneth Marende seeking
Sh400,000 monthly upkeep for a child he
allegedly sired. Marende was asked to pay
Sh103,000 as school fees for the three-
year-old girl staying with her mother.
And early this month, one Terry Sawe, a
lady who alleges that she has a baby with
3000m steeplechase World and double
Olympic champion Ezekiel Kembio too
went to the Eldoret childrens court to seek
support for her two-year-old son, whom
she claimed was fathered by the celebrated
athlete. Kemboi denied ever having a union
with her.
As it so seems, this is the new trend in
town that is giving men, mostly the married,
moneyed and inuential ones, sleepless
nights as ladies turn tables on them.
While sexual relationships between
young girls and the married class maybe
nothing new just as it is the case of such
unions resulting into siring of children, the
new rate at which young girls are pushing
cases of child support through the court
poses a big question as to whether young
ladies are simply trapping such individuals
for money gains the good ol hook a ni**a
baby.
In a comical confession sometime this
year, this writer was engulfed in a chilling
conversation after a senator invited him to
his ofce over such arising matter during
which he narrated how a lady trapped him
into getting her pregnant.
I swear to you I used protection. But
after we were done and I disposed the
condom in a waste basket, she followed
it and God knows what she did to fertilise
herself. I cannot run away from the DNA
results and no one cares listening to my
side of the story on what really happened. I
have to pay the childs upkeep, the leader
from the Western region said, regrettably.
A similar tale is expressed by singer
Kidis, who is in the middle of a controversy
with a young lady who claims to be having
his child after their one hit romp.
I have only slept with her once and she
conrmed that she was on her safe time
of the month. I am a married man and she
just want to take advantage of my celebrity
status. Now, she wants me to marry her,
Kidis told Pulse.
Statistics show that many young girls,
the Pulse lot in college level and equally the
young working class, aspire to be single
mothers only having a baby daddy putting
up the bills.
They will hook-up with this high income
earning celebrity with him they will start
dating and before long get involved in
sensual romantic affair with an aim of
getting knocked up.
It all starts on a light move. The man
agrees to take up responsibility, taking
care of the ladys bills, renting her a nice
residence and attaching a car to her
besides extending to her that Sh100,000
monthly shopping loose cash. It all looks
rosy until the baby comes, the point of
reckoning.
After I discovered that she has my
baby, I hired her a nice apartment and
pledged to take care of her bills that
those of the baby. I have been giving
her Sh200,000 every month, that was
until last month where I discovered that
she is dating another man, my fellow
lawyer, a respectable man in the society,
who sought anonymity for fear of public
ridicule told Pulse, over a case he has in
court with a 27-year-old lady, the mother
of his ve-year-old baby.
She is sleeping around with all my
friends now and telling them how she
will milk me to the last cent. Now, she
is pregnant with my lawyer friend from
whom she is targeting a similar monthly
fee for upkeep once this baby comes.
This is outright extortion. It is blackmail.
I have stopped giving her child support
and if she dares go to court again over the
matter, I can tell you that I have enough
evidence on how immoral she is and how
intentionally she is sleeping with men to
extort them, the lawyer who works with
one of the countrys top law rms told
Pulse.
A brother to a sitting Governor stopped
a monthly Sh250,000 upkeep to the mother
of his three-year-old baby by an airhostess
after he found out that she is now a married
woman.
You may challenge me on what the law
says about this, but it is rather ridiculous
and immoral for her to expect cash from
me while she is already married to another
Trapcity
In a new social culture, inuential personalities among them
politicians, blue chip corporate companies CEOS, entertainment
stars, male news anchors, star footballers and even lawyers are
getting trapped by young ladies who sleep with them purposely
to get babies for nancial gain. Pulse Editor STEVENS MUENDO
explores the new trend, that is a double-edged sword

been giving

man who wont let me have access to the
baby. After all, I too am a married man who
has got my wife while she was a mother of
one and not at any single point did I ask
her to get upkeep money from the father
to her rst born, the rather irked and
stubborn sounding 50 something old man
told Pulse.
Nowadays, the problem with young
girls in this city is that they think they
can make you their ATM. They only want
men with big cars and bank accounts.
They want you to buy them houses and
cars. This culture of girls getting rich
men to father their babies for sinister
motives is becoming a career, he
added.
These were the characters Sauti
Sols 2013 Money Lover track seems
to address.
Kuna watu wa aina nyingi duniani
Kuna watu funny funnyhuku
nakule wanichangamkia yea yea, heri
ulie kwenye range rover, ama ucheke
kwenye boda boda, ukose usingizi
runda, masaibu yanakufuata
The rst stanza of the song goes
before the theme of the popular track
gets captured in the chorus:
Do you love me baby, do you
love my money, unanipenda baby(do
you love my money) Mabenz sio
mapenzi(do you love my money)do
you believe in expensive cars do you
wanna play with my heart
It may seem such a lucrative and
fascinating easy-to-get venture but in
the long run, for the young girls who
are opting to purposely get children
with wealthy men as they target their big
money, this can end up as a life grounding
venture.
When dealing with child custody in
Kenya our courts focus on one thing: The
best interest of the children.
In some situations, the decision of
child custody can be amicably decided by
parents without involving the courts.
Usually, through written or unwritten
rules, the two ensure that they have
a memorandum of understanding
which in the real sense require proper
documentation in a legally binding
separation agreement.
But in the challenging situation in which
ladies are simply seeking child support
without giving much thought to the real
custody issues surrounding such matters,
many may soon nd themselves in the
cold over backring cases in which they
target the wealthy man.
Although a child born out of wedlock
automatically has a clearly dened legal
relationship with the mother, besides
nances, the father of the child has a legal
mandate over the baby a fact the quick
x get rich quickly mothers dont seem to
factor.
In some cases, where the mother
consents, the father has a right of
reasonable access to his child and whether
or not he is paying maintenance is not
always the criterion as much as the best
interest of the child is factored.
A father who believes that the mother
is not providing the child with proper
care may apply to the courts for an order
depriving the mother of custody or even
of guardianship of the child. If the court
agrees with the fathers claims, it may
award custody or guardianship to him or
to a third party who, in its opinion, is able
to care for the child thus depriving the
said crop of bait they used to get the big
money they are currently targeting from the
rich men.

P: You wouldnt be caught dead
in?
S: Creepers. I think theyre quite
ugly. But then again, you never
know, you could just nd me
strutting in them on my blog a
couple months from now al-
though it is highly unlikely.
P: This item makes you feel in-
stantly beautiful
S: A good red lipstick is a
great start especially if
its in the right shade. I
love the Nouba Mille-
baci lipstick in shade
number 46 pretty
epic.
P: Your best ever fash-
ion buy?
S: My black tights
from Vivo. Ive
worn them over
and over again
its ridiculous.
They are ex-
tremely comfort-
able and versatile.
I would also say my
white blazer from
Store 66.
P: The cheapest item in
your wardrobe?
S: A striped top, which I
bought for Kshs30., Ive
worn it so many times and
its still in great condition.
P: The most expensive item in
your fashion collection is?
S: A pearl bracelet that cost a
pretty penny.
P: Your current all-time favourite
look?
S: Ive found myself drawn to
all white ensembles recently.
Something about it seems
very clean and polished, which
really appeals to me.
P: The greatest fashion crime
women commit?
S: Not being comfortable in the
outts they put together which
Ive been guilty of but over time
I realised the more comfortable
I feel in my outt, whether or not
its in a six-inch heel or a pair of
sneakers, the more condent I
am.
P: What routine do you follow to
maintain your beautiful long
locks?
S: Im currently using Silicon Mix
products, which are very mois-
turizing. I also use Argan Oil on
the ends of my hair every other
night.
P: A trendsetter or trend follower?
S: I would say Im a trendsetter or
a little bit of both. Sometimes
I pick my favourite trends from
the runway and nd ways to
incorporate it into my personal
style but I also give ideas on
how to pair outts and accesso-
ries.
P: Bikini or one-piece swimsuit?
S: A bikini considering I only own bi-
kinis but if the one piece were a
great t and designed beautiful-
ly then I would denitely wear it.
P: As a fashion blogger whats the
best advice you would give?
S: Be true to yourself and never apol-
ogise for it.

Movie review
BEST OF TWO
BY ESTHER MUCHENE
FIVE ON THE CARDS
[PHOTO: COURTESY]
I
call this movie the story of the number
one lizard in the world.The lm begins
with retrospective shots of the entries
about lizards. News clips play showing
strange creatures sighted in Pacic countries.
According to the rst Godzilla, the lizard
was destroying everything on its way. At the
scene of the Bikini Atoll nuclear test in 1954, a
huge gure with jagged spikes rises from the
water as the bomb is detonated. In 1999, scien-
tists Ken Watanabe and Graham are called to
a strip mine in the Philippines where a colossal
skeleton and two egg-shaped pods have been
discovered. One has hatched and something
has escaped to the sea.
In present day, two massive unidentied ter-
restrial animals are on the loose and professor
Serizawa believes that Godzilla can stop them.
The male-female duo of gargantuan parasitic
creatures occupies mans attention, one on
land and one airborne. To me, they closely
resembled giant praying mantis; they are fast
and destroying everything on site. Godzilla,
who played villain in the 1998 movie, is now the
hero.
THUMBS UP
This is denitely a feel good movie. The vil-
lain is now playing hero and he is working with
the humans. The movie gets you glued to the
screen when the beasts are battling.
THUMBS DOWN
Godzilla is introduced in the lm after
almost forty minutes into the lm. There is also
too much Computer Generated Imagery (CGI)
that the movie looks like a video game. The
movie also has A-list actors but they fail to
deliver above average.
VERDICT
The movie is generally created and ex-
ecuted with the younger generation in mind.
The young and the young at heart will enjoy it.
My advice would be to seek out the biggest,
loudest IMAX auditorium available and allow
the movie to roar majestically right in your face,
peeling away any niggling uncertainties with the
icy re of its thunderous breath.
MOVIE BAROMETER
1-2: Not worth your time
3-4:Needs work
5-Average
6-7:Good
8-10: Excellent
The views expressed in this column are
those of the writer and not necessarily
those of Pulse magazine.
On dating
It is an awesome experience.
Initially, people tend to put
their best foot forward and
a lot of pretence goes into
it. You can however pretend
for so long, hence ones true
colours are bound to come
out eventually.
On ladies
Most Kenyan ladies judge
men a lot based on their
background and occupation.
They never take time to get
to know the real person.
However, there is a small rare
breed that understands the
men species.
On celebs
Kenya celebs are broke
artistes who think being a
celebrity is all about being
famous and being on TV.
They thrive on showing off
what they do not have to get
attention that they do not
need.
On socialites
They are a confused lot who
do not even know what they
want to achieve as socialites.
They just want to be known
for parading their behinds on
social media and for hanging
around celebrities.
Haters
They are fans in disguise.
They want to be where I am
because they think they are
better than me. They criticise
my every move, making
people want to know more
about me. The more the
haters, the better for me.

SIBLINGS' SHADOW
Friday May 30, 2014 / The Standard
15MINUTES
M
any of the jokes and specula-
tion under the hash tag #What-
JayZSaidtoSolange poked at
the Solanges relatively slow
career and suggestion of her basking in her
sisters fame, never mind the facts.
While the world continues to speculate
on what might have transpired in the Jay-Z
lift incidence, it is not uncommon for the
rift between siblings to conne one to the
culvert.
Kim Over Khloe Kardashian
Kim Kardashian leaked sex tape came out
right before the premiere of Keeping Up with
the Kardashians reality TV show. The stunt
made her a tabloid and paparazzi favourite
and as some would say, they only watched
the reality show just to see her (and her
goodies).
From all the attention she was getting it
was no surprise then that corporates came
knocking on her family door to look for her
specically to partner in brand deals.
The other two sisters, Khloe and Kourtney
were seen as mere joy riders on their sisters
fame train as expressed by them in one of
the episodes after their manager, their own
mother, side-lined them in favour of Kim on a
brand line of perfumes.
Things took a twist when Khloe who had
been called anything from ugly to fat was
starting to be seen as Americas sweetheart
with her no-holds barred attitude and down-
to-earth demeanour.
Khloe ended up having her own show
and business with her basketball player
husband Lamar Odom and hugely publicised
separation that put her on her own constant
paparazzi chase later on.
Janet Jackson shows Dad the Door
Over her two-decade career, Janet
Jacksons work has brought in Sh6.9 billion
from music and book publishing, Sh22.1
billion in album sales and Sh38.9 billion from
touring.
Together with other business ventures the
revenues add up to Sh102 billion, a fact that
has led to reputable publications erroneously
conferring to her the billionaire status but not
so according to Forbes.
Short of billionaire status or not, from
the statistics it is clear Janet Jackson has
achieved much for a girl barely out of her
teens who had to literally run to be recognised
independently away from her already famous
second name in a sexist music industry.
When she released her rst self-titled
solo album, her brothers The Jackson 5
had already sold over 40 million albums
worldwide.
To avoid being referred to as just MJs
sister and be independent from her family,
Janet terminated business affairs with her
family and more so her already powerful and
connected father Joseph Jackson.
I just wanted to get out of the house, get
out from under my father, which was one of
the most difcult things that I had to do, she
was once quoted.
Ray J The Controversial Breakout
Prior to the release of his sex tape featuring
Kim Kardashian, Ray J was known simply as
Brandys little brother despite his industrious
work in Hollywood.
His older sister Brandy was and is a
platinum selling artist and an award winning
actress while his rst cousin Snoop Dogg is
a legendary rapper, a fact that anyone taking
shots at him loves to point out as Kanye
West did in response to his diss-track, I hit it
First. Before the sex tape Ray Js measure of
success was his debut album Everything You
Want, which debuted at number 25 on the
Billboard charts with the subsequent album
debuting at number 30.
After the sex tape he got into a multi-
million dollar recording deal.
The rst album off this deal All I Feel
peaked at Number 7 on the US charts with
the single Sexy Can I peaking at Number 3 on
Top 100 hits for six straight weeks.
Marlon Wayans No laughing matter
One of the most respectable entertainment
families in the United States, The Wayans
is a family with many successful directors,
screenwriters, comedians and actors.
Casting for a movie role with that second
name back in the 1990s a director would
presume that you are casting for the comic
role as the family was well to known for.
But one brother, Marlon Wayans managed
to change all that.
Marlon entered into serious Hollywood
roles that got him nods from Oscar-award kind
of movie critics. Marlon featured in Requiem
of the Dream, a lm about various forms
of addictions that lead to the characters
imprisonment in a world of delusion.
His co-star in the movie was nominated for
an Academy Award for Best Actress.
This led to more roles notably being cast
but not featured in Batman Forever and the
lead actor in the yet to be released biopic of
legendary comedian Richard Pryor beating
out Mike Epps.
Serena slams Sis
Until 2002, Serena had only defeated
her sister Venus Williams twice in her tennis
career. Born one year apart, the elder Venus
was an early winner in her professional career
in the tennis court compared to Serena.
Venus defeated world No.2 for the rst
time in 1997 in Oklahoma City.
The same year she defeated World No, 1
Hingis to win the Tier I Lipton International
Players Championship in Florida. On March
1998 she was ranked World No 10.
It would take Serena another 5 years to
accomplish such a fete.
In 2002, Serena won the Ericsson Open
defeating the worlds top 3 at that time
Martina Hingis, her sister Venus and Capriati
SISTER SISTER: Beyonc
and Solange Knowles.
Solange is always going to be referred
to as Beyoncs baby sister if the
events of last week following the TMZ
leaked elevator footage are to go by
and KEVIN OGUOKO unveils a list of
celebrities who have managed to step
out of their rich and famous celebrity
siblings shadows
in the same tournament.
Despite Venus early accomplishment,
Serena is the all-time favourite with 51 single
titles compared to her sisters 21 and highest
career cash prize of Sh4.7 billion compared
to her sisters Sh2.5 billion.

begged Bahati.
Critics argue that Willy Paul is having a
downhill season as a result of pride that came
with his sudden fame before controversy
started trailing him. He seems to have fallen
out of favour with the masses and rumours
that he lied that he sat for his KCSE exams
last weeks seem to have dealt him a major
blow.
His last years fellow winner and collabo
mate Gloria Muliro pulled out of this years
competition saying the was opting out to
create space for the young upcoming stars.
It is interesting to see how things will turn
with the entry of Size 8, the former secular star
whose new presence in the gospel scene has
already tilted the local gospel landscape.
Leading integrated communications
provider Safaricom Limited and Mo Sound
Entertainment will unveil this years winners
during the invite-only black tie event.
The awards, structured into 30 different
categories, will be awarded to gospel
musicians, DJs, producers and radio and
television gospel shows that will be voted in
by members of the public.
The Kenyan gospel music scene has
undergone tremendous growth in recent
years. This was afrmed by President
Kenyattas attendance of the award ceremony
last year, in the company of the First Lady
Margaret Kenyatta, says Safaricom CEO,
Bob Collymore.
Besides being a means of livelihood for
many Kenyan youth, that is the musicians,
video and audio producers, Gospel DJs,
event organisers and TV and radio presenters,
the gospel industry has played a major role
in putting Kenyan music on the global music
scene, he adds.
Whatever the
case, please,
I urge you to
remain humble.
Dont let pride go
before you,

GET YOUR
GROOVE
ON
The events organisers Mo Sound
Entertainment led by founder Kevin Mulei
promise more surprises this year due to
the fact that majority of the nominees are
newcomers in the gospel music industry.
Over the last few years, the gospel music
scene has become very dynamic and new
names are coming up every day, as Mo
Sound Entertainment, we are glad to have
played our part in this growth, Kevin Mulei
notes.
Over the past few months the award
nominees have gone around the country for
the Groove with Safaricom concerts asking
their fans to vote for them.
We are grateful to everyone who voted as
this will ensure that the artistes keep coming
up with quality material to ensure they have
a chance each year, this can only mean good
tidings for gospel music, Kevin adds.
Bahati, Pitson, Benachi, Lilian Rotich,
Size 8, Eunice Njeri, Emmy Kosgey and
Hope Kid are some of the artistes who have
entertained gospel music fans all over the
country.
They have been to Kakamega, Eldoret,
Nakuru and last Sunday, they were at the
Machakos Peoples Park where the residents
came out in their hundreds to see them on
stage.
Also at the concert were SOC, Ole Willy
and gospel godfather Rufftone whose hit
Mungu Baba was performed by all the
artistes in attendance much to the delight of
fans.
The Male Artiste of the Year, Female
Artiste of the Year, Song of the Year, Video of
the Year and Album of the Year are some of
the hotly contested categories.
As the Groove Awards ceremony goes
down this Sunday, it is interesting to note
how things have changed in this cut-throat
competition industry with some of last
years biggest winner nowhere in sight
I
n disbelief, an overjoyed Willy Paul
celebrated his rst major award dur-
ing the Groove Awards 2012 after
he was voted the New Artiste of the
Year.
He had just started off and the sky was
the limit for this budding star whose mellow
voice and cool urbane image gave him an
edge against his rivals.
And back on the same stage last year, as
many had predicted, Willy Paul walked away
with the most prestigious award, the Male
Artiste of the Year accolade, to the envy of
many.
Basking in glory, Willy walked to the stage
with two girls of foreign origin and announced:
Soon, we are going international.
It is barely two weeks after Willy Paul
returned back from the States. No one seems
to care where he has been. He comes back
home to an industry that seems to have
moved on without him and barely a year
after he was voted gospels most celebrated
singer, a lot seems to have taken place.
It is no wonder, newcomer Bahati, who
actually follows after Willy Paul having won
the New Artiste award during the Groove
last year, stands tall as the favourite name
this year with great hopes that he will be
exalted the Male Artiste of the Year come the
Sunday Kenyatta International Convention
Centre (KICC) D-day.
God has been good to me and I thank
my fans for supporting me upto this far,
Bahati told Pulse during the last Groove tour
at the Machakos Peoples Park last Sunday.

to remain humble. Dont let pride go before

I
t was the age of the posh matatus, and
back then, Githurai, the populous middle
class estate along the Nairobi-Thika
highway had become popular for its
Number 44 pimped-up mats.
And from this place rose two rappers, Mr
Googz and Vinnie Banton, two rappers who
became popular for their hit Githurai.
By todays standards, the Githurai video is
such an archive material that can hardly pass
for TV. One of the clips has the young chaps rid-
ding on matatu and another with a herd of cattle
grazing around the estate! Simply put, it depicts
an age in the local music industry that is hardly
remembered, and so, as it is the case of the two
singers whose singing career ended in a huff,
as had been their rise.
I stopped singing completely. I am now a
DJ, Vinnie Banton now says.
I started practising in the house sometime
last year. It took me about ve months to learn
all that was needed to do a proper show, Vin-
nie Banton notes.
So just at what point did he discover that
her was well off as a producer and DJ than be-
ing a singer?
Through Banton Entertainment, I had been
providing sound to events organsers for a very
long time. Along the way, I realised people are
looking for an entire package; from sound to a
deejay. So I gured I could market the company
as a complete unit especially after I bought my
own equipment, says the dreadlocked artiste
of the new venture he started in 2012.
Banton Entertainment has ve deejays so
far. The company owns a music studio, a dee-
jaying school and sound equipment this born
of the ragga artiste we all knew back then.
Vinnie Banton hit the scene as a plump cap-
donning deep-voiced dancehall chap.
At a time when Ogopa Deejays had the
leading hitmakers, the duo would later release
a remix of the song with Mr Lenny. Arguably
the biggest song at the turn of the century, they
would go on to record more hits, which include
Fed Up and Superstar.
Vinnie reminisces about the good times.
It was very easy for us. As superstars, we
had advantages like not queuing in embassies
or even supermarkets. Local music was widely
accepted and appreciated and we were as
famous as the politicians back then, he notes
with nostalgic excitement.
One April morning in 2004, things changed
suddenly. Out of the blues, Mr Googz sat his
colleague down and informed him that he
(Googz) was getting saved. He had seen the
light.
In that split moment, Mr Googz and Vinnie
Banton was no more. From singing about
hoods and the showbiz life, which had earned
them the celebrity status and a huge following
across the region, the duo called it a day at a
time when they had ditched Ogopa Deejays
in revolt and formed Bad Man Camp with the
Longombas and Duex Vultures.
It was a hard blow. I cannot wholly blame
Mr Googz because one cannot question a
spiritual call but the move was devastating, in
a low humble tone, Vinnie recalls, further ex-
plaining that an album that was set for release
by the duo had to be ditched.
Performing as a solo artiste was also chal-
lenging because people expected him to still
perform with me. They would ask me where he
was, he adds.
Vinnie was also facing pressure from fans
to also get saved, something which made him
uncomfortable. He explains that rebranding as
a solo artiste after one has been in a group for
a long time is also a challenge, a factor that led
him to take a break from the music scene.
He churned a few hits after the split but
largely remained behind the scenes as the
showbiz landscape quickly changed with
new fans favourites being born into the new
Kenyan sound. Vinnie has no issues with the
popularity of Genge, which replaced Ogopas
Boomba, but says he has a problem with the
current situation.
As a country, we do not have an original
sound at the moment. Except for Boomba and
Genge, we cannot say we have a distinct feel
to our music as compared to Bongo, Azonto or
Kwaito, he pinpoints, with regret.
In my studio, you have to stick to the
original sound or I will not produce your music.
I train my artistes to have the elements of the
original sound we (older artistes) popularised.
Late last year, Vinnie Banton made a sig-
nicant change. For the past 30 years, he had
been staying in Zimmerman, having been born
and brought up there. He moved to Embakasi
after accepting Zimmerman would not accom-
Together with Mr Googz, Vinnie Banton
came into public limelight after the release
of their 2002 popular hit Githurai. He may
have stopped singing but as MKALA
MWAGHESHA found it, this veteran, who
made his debut in the entertainment scene in
1998, is yet to drop the mic
modate his business ventures.
I needed a bigger house which could ac-
commodate my sound equipment.
Vinnie was the victim of an attempted
robbery after some youth tried to take off with
his equipment in April last year. According to
Vinnie, Zimmerman is not safe especially for a
businessman dealing with sound equipment
due to the irregular hours that the drop and
picking up is made. An episode on Patikana,
a local prankster show targeting celebrities
shown on a local TV station was to turn tragic
after thieves discovered the equipment he had
painstakingly acquired, including a Play Station
parlor in his house.
The entertainer has been married since
1999. He has three kids with the old one, 14,
now a practicing deejay. He is named Deejay

SECONDFEATURE
CHARACTER
ASSASINATION
R
ecently as I shared notes
with one of the gossip writers
during a lunch break we were
approached by a by a Swa-
hili anchor whom we swiftly exchanged
glances before she turned to the gossip
writer revealing that she had a juicy one.
I would later gather that the anchor came
to expose an alleged sex scandal and baby
mama drama of a colleague and at this
point I was reminded the showbiz scene is
a man-eat-mat society where a celebrity
under threat would employ blistering
attacks against their rival, whether real or
falsied information.
The gossip writer would later establish
that the scoop was neither here nor there
and what was shocking, however, was how
utterly devastating it sounded.
In an interview with comedian Fred
Omondi, who attributes his earlier career
plunge to negative publicity instigated by
his close friend, shows that it is the norm
in showbiz today. Fred says his downfall
started when a close friend of his, Maleek,
a budding musician, posted on social
media that Fred was a serial dater and
HIV positive. This was closely followed
by another media buzz about a woman
accusing the comedian of assaulting her
daughter, known as Sheila.
The post went on to allege that Fred
impregnated her (the author) and had since
refused to take care of the child. She also
claimed to have gone to Freds house in
Kileleshwa but was thrown out by Maleek.
In the showbiz industry not everyone is
happy with your successes, not even your
close friends or group members, says Fred
who is now making a comeback.
According to Fred things often fall apart
when your close friends perceive you as a
threat or when you are dating a hot chic.
His sentiment is shared with many other
celebrities who attest that many would be
envious about fellow artistes success and
relationships especially among the female
celebrities.
Fred tells Pulse that he went to Kenyatta
National Hospital for an HIV virus test in
front of 20 people just to clear his name.
Some of the tactics used by celebrities to
spread the rumours mostly include paying
bloggers to spread the innuendos or being
lured in a trap by a pretty woman.
A recent victim of character assassination
is gospel artiste Ambassada who says his
Facebook account was hacked and one
wrote Sorry guys but am gay.
Echoing most of Freds sentiment,
Ambassada declares that individuals with
the audacity to hack into others account to
peddle rumours are normally people around
your circles who are unhappy about your
success.
Ambassada alleges that someone might
have been envious with his recent steady
comeback bid and his recently released
collabo with Dr Ofweneke, titled Kani.
He tells Pulse that before his Facebook
account was hacked he had received
two threatening calls from an anonymous
number. Ambassada has since reported
the incident to the Central Police Station for
investigation.
Kiberas nest, Octopizzo, says he is no
stranger to character assassination from
artistes who are unhappy with his success.
Octopizzo argues that as an artiste,
one will never have haters until they start
appearing as a threat to the other artistes.
He however has no issues with the negative
vibes saying that it is good for the hype.
There is no love in the industry, everyone
wants to see you down the only positive
critiques are those from fans, he says.
Octopizzo notes that in the gospel scene
character assassination is very high, adding
that as much as it creates hype there are
many artistes who have failed to make a
comeback after their images were greatly
damaged.
I have diss-track levelled against me by
Khaligraph Jones, have had artistes judging
me based on where I come from, some
organisers even went further to pay me less
money for shows just because I came from
Kibera while some say I dont know English
and my lyrics are lame, Octopizzo says.
Some to date dont understand how I
managed to date a white beautiful chic, he
adds.
When I used to make no money in the
industry I decided to approach Jaguar,
Nonini and Wyre to seek their advice on few
tips to make money and that is what has
brought me this far. For those artistes who
are busy beeng, holla for advice, he tells
off his haters.
Mulwa Mutinda, manager at Phoenix
Theatre says:
In the lm industry artistes brand their
rival as gay or lesbian and pick on that one
thing that would completely taint ones
image. This is bad for an actor because now
director avoid such persons.
Ken-T of MOG says that, As a group we
have heard to contend with lots of rumours
which are utterly incorrect. Those who would
go their way to spoil others names are often
threatened by the success of those they
perceive as rival.
This is unheard off I did know that artiste
can become that malicious, Size 8 told
Pulse.
Just like in politics where character
assassination ranks high as a tactic to
outmuscle your rival, so it is in showbiz
where celebrities are now aggressively
employing diferent tactics to taint others
images, AUSTINE OKANDE fnds out

'Mafans' fun
A
couple of years ago, a group of
professionals would discard their
suits and ties, the businessmen
would leave behind their trades
every weekend to watch football
together at the then Hooters Club (now aptly re-
branded as Psys) on Nairobis Standard Street.
With football as emotive an issue as Kenyans
elections, the football fans would invariably taunt
and tease other over their favourite teams perfor-
mance. Over time foes become friends and the
idea of cooling off in the bush after every English
Premier League was born.
Now in its seventh year, the Mafans Bush Bash
took place at Ole Teepes Picnic Site last Saturday.
As you expect this years edition was the loudest,
with Arsenal having won a trophy after nine years
of slavery. The likes of Jimmy, Sarah Palin, Charles
Carzola, Wahome, Sichuma, Nasri wa China and
Gidi Arshavin and a bevy of beauties turned up to
celebrate Arsenals much awaited trophy.
Of course on the opposite side were fans
drawn from all the rest of the clubs with Chelsea
leading the way with Smitta, Muga Mourinho and
Justus Mourinho. As for Man United, the fans
seem to have dwindled just like the fortunes of the
team in recent times. Apart of the indefatigable
Babu Onserio aka Chairman who seems to have
taken solace in twanging English like a certain Nai-
robi top cop, the rest of the fans were duly cowed
by Arsenal fans. Man United fans such as Bett had
resigned to their fate that with Arsenal fans the
best thing is to keep quiet. Domo domo ya Arse-
nal huwezani nayo I heard him complaining.
We even had a football match that had no
rules apart from goal kick. With the Arsenal fans
outnumbering the rest of the fans three to one, it
was decided that the game would pit Arsenal fans
against the rest of their suffering world. The others

lead by Newcastle diehard Abdul gave the Arsenal
team a run for their money and despite the Arsenal
team taking an early lead the others fought back
for the game to end 3-3. The match was nothing
more than a Sunday league team, with players al-
lowed to dash to the touchline to sip a cold beer to
help deal with the scorching Kiserian sun.
At one point, the Others team thought they
had snatched a win but the goal was disallowed.
Later on, when elding questions from the media
the match referee Muga Mourinho was asked who
won and he retorted, Am like Kivuitu and I dont
know.
The Mafans also had a change of guard in
the top leadership of the group with Babu aka
Bonade Chairman, nally losing his battle to out-
last Zimbabwes Comrade Bob at the helm.
He was replaced by Charles Nguni aka Carzola
as Chair, with Justus aka Mourinho wa China tak-
ing the Secretary post, Festus Munene aka Nasri
will continue to keep our money, while the group
patron is Wahome aka Governor. This is the group
that will have to work extra hard to impress the
fans in the coming year or else they will be faced
with the ever popular impeachments.
As usual it was a bash to remember and the
new team must surely now raise the bar or they will
be caught with their pants down!
Madness in Madrid
Dreams are made of this. As one to always
support the underdogs the die was cast when it
became apparent that in the Champions league,
neighbour would be pitted against neighbour.
I immediately knew I would be routing for the
underdogs. Forget what you may have heard
about Atletico De Madrid winning the La Liga title.
These boys were denitely the inferior dogs in a
dogght that was surely a ght for their life.
To spice things up, I got a call for Heineken
requesting me to attend a live screening at the
Sankara, Nairobi. That completed the jigsaw. With
the magnitude of this match, it was simply not
one to be watched in the house with the mem-
sahib eyeing the remote with the vengeance of a
wounded lioness. So to Sankara, I went.
For 93 minutes, it looked as if collective effort
could deny the forces of commerce and individu-
alism.
Atletico, desperately tired by then, would have
been worthy winners. Instead, Sergio Ramos
header denied the dream, spirits crushed by a
painful extra time period.
They came so close.
The eventual score line was desperately harsh
and Cristiano Ronaldos shirt-off celebration of the
fourth goal hugely excessive. It was the type of
egotism that Atleticos efforts had come so close
to obliterating. Gareth Bales header to take the
lead had already provided proof that money talks
-- eventually.
The loot that all the shirt sales in China can
buy proved enough to claim what Real Madrid
believe is rightfully theirs. Atletico looked the
well-oiled machine that Reals expensive but leaky
cabriolet would fail to live with, but eventually, it
ran out of gas.
Despite his goal, Cristiano Ronaldos reputa-
tion for freezing on the big occasion is no less
enhanced. Atletico knocks never let him settle. He
was not as t as Ancelotti had suggested in pre-
match. As at Rome in 2009, there was a sense he
wanted this too much; desperation rarely attracts
success. Gareth Bale, three times ring horribly
wide, had looked to have let destinys promise get
to him, too. Until his goal, it seemed the 100 mil-
lion euro man might be remembered forever as an
Atletico folk hero.
Feeding on Reals weakness of character
was always the prime Atletico route to success.
Without Costa, their goal threat was too anaemic;
David Villa played well, but never looked his previ-
ous predatory self, and was too often a satellite of
his colleagues. A single goal, well defended, was
always the plan. Diego Godins header provided
part one. The tired defending that allowed Ramos
free header denied a missions accomplishment.
A tiny gure in his teams huddle before extra
time, Simeone was frenzied, punching the air in
rhythm with bellowing exhortations to put such
a crippling disappointment behind his team. It
could not deliver the desired effect. Real resumed
their waves of attack and Atleticos deep tension
line suggested that penalties were their remain-
ing crumb to cling to. When Di Maria, the player
Atletico most struggled with all night, broke to
supply Bales crucial goal, hopes of perhaps the
most amazing season of were all crushed.

I
n the song, Selfie, Chainsmokers,
an American band captures
thoughts one goes through when
about to take a selfie:
I wanna look tanned, What
should my caption be, I want it to be
clever. How about livin, with my b**ches,
Hashtag LIVE?, I only got ten likes in
the last five minutes, Do you think I
should take it down?... let me take
another selfie.
The selfie craze has been popularised
by celebrities the world over. But before
you take that snap, what is your selfie
style?
Ratchet we will go
Most of those who go down this road
have something to show a la Kim Kar-
dashian: too much cleavage and butt. For
extremists like Nicki Minaj, only the
nipples are covered or their long weaves
partly hides the chest. The semi-nude or
nude photos rarely disappoint, as it never
hurts men to see what is beyond a
womans dress. But sometimes, such
photos backfire.
I saw a picture of a girl on my Face-
book Timeline who had taken a shot of
her boobs and captioned it, so excited
they are growing. I see people, mostly
socialites, who are only attention seekers
taking selfies on bras and hot pants in
their bedrooms. Guys are doing too much
selfies these days and it is tacky, says
Prisca Aroko, a radio news reporter.
We love going the Sauti Sol way
This requires a man taking a shirtless
selfie. The underwear must be seen. You
can choose to lie on the bed, or after
taking a shower. Looking through some
selfies on social media, we came across
one that had a man having his manhood
sticking out of his tight jeans. That is
advanced Justin Beiber style for you!
We will do it because we are stars
Forget the familiar idea of celebrities
taking selfies with their fans. During the
Luo Cultural Festival held last month at
the Carnivore grounds, comedians
Jacqueline Nyaminde (Papa Shirandulas

Wilbroda), Eric Omondi, Fred Omondi,
Owago Nyiro, Jalango, and Otoyo took
a selfie while they were all on stage.
It also happened during this years
Oscar when Ellen DeGeneres took a
selfie with half of the Oscar nominees,
among them Lupita Nyongo, Jennifer
Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and which
had more than two million views.
See, I have a new-Look
Last year when Beyonc had a new
hairdo, with a short pixie crop hair, she
took a mirror selfie and posted it on
Instagram, letting the world know that
her long famous locks are no more.
Locally, girls follow this selfie style as
they post their new hair-style after their
visit to the salon.
Yvonne Buluma, a college student
explains that she takes selfies showing
colour of her new lipstick, different hair
styles, different colours of the eye
shadows which she uploads on Insta-
gram and Facebook.
Not left behind is Moreen Mutethya, a
model and actress who says: My selfies
are mostly headshots and a slight view
of the background. I take them to keep a
history of where I was or to see how
pretty I look, with the make-up and with
different facial expressions.
Care if I show-off a bit?
A look at the selfies in the social
media pages, most are taken for brag-
ging purposes. The exquisite foods,
expensive drinks, in classy places or
even when buying a new car.
I am just having fun
This is when peeps take photos with
crazy poses, engaging themselves in a
hobby, making funny faces, or just
simply lazing around with friends.
Most of them show me alone, others
show a group my friends and I. I usually
take them just for fun and sometimes to
remember the places I was while taking
them and also to remember those in the
selfie, says Gabriel Mramba, a student.

Set camera and click, post the photo online
and pose: That is me, sleeping. Just what
does that sele say about you or simply put,
why would one take a sele in the rst place?

a TV show at KTN. Starting this Sunday, the smiling
beauty will be hosting the new Jaza Mistari show, a

JULIANI-BRENDA GO
PHILANTHROPIC
Now for those who missed the juicy
MondayBlues piece on Juliani and Brendas
romance awakening, the two celebrity lovebirds are
back together.
Well, they may not announce that they are an
item as such, but the two remained hip to hip last
week during Julianis media party after event and
they were looking dazzlingly cute together. Earlier
on, the acting beauty had celebrated her birthday
by hosting a charity event called Bedazzle during
which she treated cancer victims to goodies among
them hairdos among other makeover treats.

IS A MOTHER
Forget the Sage story! Nana (or Nini as some call
her), the girl on who Rabbit has put a ring on it has
bore the celebrity rapper a baby and she has been
named Gwath, which loosely translates to blessing
in Luo.
The couple received the bouncing baby girl with
joy some few days ago. Exclusively, Pulse acquired
this picture of the Swahili Shakesphere singer kissing
Gwath after her delivery. It is only months after the
rapper was rumoured to be the father of Sages baby,
after the long romantic ing.
SINGER CHIPS
FUNGWAD!
A popular singer who doubles
up as a CEO of his music stable
found himself on the wrong bed
on Sunday morning and more
so with a strange woman.
Together with his friends,
the award-winning hit maker
had gone to a posh joint in
Hurlingam where a private bash
was taking place. Food and
drinks were owing freely and
after catching one too many,
the guy drove away to another
Hurlingham joint to wind up his
night. According to our source,
the guy booked himself the
company of three girls who had
been partying out at the club
and who left the club with him.
However, the singer has no
recollection of what transpired
between then and the next day
when he found himself in one of
the ladies house in Keleleshwa.
All he remembers is the lady
awakening him to dress up and
leave before the sun comes
up.

Monroe the socialite rules her own

lady sneaked out of the country last
week and landed in Accra, Ghana,
where she has been making regular
trips lately. Well, the last time she
was there, she posted photos of her
going gangstar in this posh sporty
ride with money littered all over the
drivers seat. However, as much as
her mission in Ghana still remains
illusive, Huddah posted photos of
her and Davido, the hot Nigerian
singing star.
I took this picture with Davido
for my fans and my pals who love
him. Thank me later, she wrote.
It was only last week when we
published her photos with Raila Jr

It has been a year since Marya Munyali aka D7,
Size 8s young sister got a baby with her dancer
lover Ezra. On Sunday, the family treated the young
prince out at the Machakos Peoples Park where the
Safaricom Groove Awards Tour was taking place.
He is a polite healthy kid. He just turned one, a
jovial D7 told Pulse. D7 revealed that she had been
dating Ezra just months before she delivered the
child. Since, her celebrity sister has gotten married
to DJ Mo of System Unit.
MOZE RADIO DAYLONG
COP DRAMA
Ugandan MTV Mama Awards nominee Moze Radio
is never short of controversy. Early this week, the singer
was involved in two different battles, both pitting him
against fellow singers and police.
At 3am on Tuesday, the singer and his friend walked
into the popular Casablanca bar where fellow singer
AK47 and former manager Jeff Kiwanuka were partying
out. A scufe broke between the two rival groups,
police came in and arrested Pallaso, a star Moze Radio
had tried to mentor before the two fell out.
However, at 10am that morning, another ght broke
at Moze Radios Goodlyfe Crew base where he was
being treated for injuries sustained during the initial
ght. According to sources, it was a major exchange
between the crew members that left house and car
windows smashed. Unconrmed reports also have it
that the group that had been ghting with Moze Radio
had followed him all the way to house to settle scores.
Confused on who to arrest, the police ofcers left
without a culprit this time round.
