Uasin Gishu County Commissioner
Abdi Hassan yesterday banned the
sale of spirits indenitely.
He said after a crisis meeting
with other county leaders that the
countywide ban would take eect
immediately.
We have resolved to immediately
ban the sale of any spirit in the county
until the results of samples that have
been sent to Nairobi for analysis are
brought back, he said.
Deputy President William Ruto ex-
pressed concern over the continued
loss of lives to illegal alcohol con-
sumption and directed the National
Authority for the Campaign Against
Drug Abuse (Nacada) and the police
to intensify eorts to eradicate illicit
brews.
Mr Ruto also asked the county
governments to speed up passing of
laws to regulate the sale and distribu-
tion of alcohol.
It is a shame that we can still
lose lives to alcohol at this age, Mr
Ruto said at Longisa African Gospel
Church in Bomet County.
Mr Hassan said police had arrested
nine suspects who were assisting with
investigations while 43 people who
drunk the toxic brews had been taken
to hospital.
Among the seven people who
died yesterday was Obed Makori,
a student at Tumaini High School.
His father, Mr Amos Makori, was

friend bought the liquor at a nearby
bus stop and gave it to them to drink

We were supposed to go for a

he said. Mr Ongesa said he didnt
go to the party but instead went to
sleep and only remembered waking
up in hospital.
I went to bed after consuming the
liquor and from there I dont remem-
ber what transpired, he said.
He said that he had tried calling the
friends he had been drinking with but
their phones were switched o.
The lethal brew had been con-
sumed i n Langas, Mai l i Nne,
Huruma and Kesses, according
to the countys chief executive in

T
he European Union and
a global human rights
campaigner are headed
for a confrontation over a city
road whose construction could
lead to eviction of people.
The EU is funding the road
construction.
Last evening, Amnesty In-
ternational warned it would
not allow the project to go on
until the residents of Deep Blue
slums in Nairobi are assured of
alternative settlement.
The government, through the
Kenya Urban Roads Authority
(Kura) and the Nairobi County
government are to build the link
road between Waiyaki Way and
Limuru Road through Parklands.
If it goes ahead, the government
hopes to decongest trac in the
city.
But Amnesty International ar-
gues that hundreds of families
living in the slum in Westlands
will be forced out because many
of their shanties are on that road
reserve.
Forced evictions
The paradox of the situation
we are facing is that the govern-
ment is publicly saying there will
not be any forced evictions, but
in practice, Amnesty Interna-
tional has documented time
and again, continued forced
evictions, Mr Salil Shetty, Am-
nestys global secretary-general
told reporters in Nairobi.
The EU has to be very aware
of the risks of nancing a project
which is not in line with the
human rights standards... It will
be violating its own values.
About 3,000 people live in this
slum, but those to be targeted
include those whose tin-walled
houses straddle a strip of land
through the shanties identied
as a road reserve.
When the Nation visited yes-
terday, residents had occupied
the strip by constructing small
houses along it, leaving a small
space of about ve metres which
is used as a path for pedestrians
and cyclists.
But even then, the empty
space is dotted with stalls or
open kiosks for selling chips,
sh or for shaving.
The road is part of projects the
EU is supporting to improve road
transport in Nairobi and other
urban areas. Last year, the union
announced plans to fund Kenyas
urban infrastructure, with Sh3.4
billion to ease congestion.
In Nairobi, the funding tar-
geted link roads between Limuru
Road and Waiyaki Way as well as
expanding Enterprise Road up
to Mombasa Road.
As Kenyans move into the city
centre in large numbers, so do
the transport and infrastructure
face challenges, EUs head of
delegation Lodewijk Briet told
reporters then.
And last month, the EU signed
another agreement with Kenya
worth Sh51.7 billion in grants for
development in what the EU said
would be to prioritise expansion
of the capitals public transport
infrastructure to ght conges-
tion in the capital, increase food
production and improve drought
management.
The construction of that link
road was expected to start last
month. Residents say they were
given a two-month notice to
vacate in February, but pleaded
with authorities to give them
more time.
We live under threats. We
dont know when they will
come with bulldozers. We feel
neglected because there has
been no response, claimed Ms
Jenifever Nafula, the head of a
local committee pushing for
more time.
Last evening, Nairobi Gover-
nor Evans Kidero told the Nation
there have been no threats to
force out anyone.
We have not evicted anybody.
Nobody will be evicted, said Dr
Kidero.
The government has previ-
ously said it will not evict
people by force. But therein,
lies the dilemma of reducing
congestion while respecting
human rights.

OFFENSIVE | Families ee troubled county after fresh attack on Saturday night despite military presence in the area
County conrmed the raids but
a KDF information operations
ocer, Colonel Willy Wesonga,
could not either conrm or deny
the reports.
We are in an operation and the
person you could talk to would be
the one on the ground with our
troops, he said.
The Nation team visited Jima
area and found soldiers who had
parked several vehicles there.
Villagers said they had seen
over 100 soldiers headed for the
two forests.
Despite the military campaign,
families were still leaving the
area yesterday heading towards
Witu after an attack on Saturday
night.
The attackers, who villagers
say claimed to be members of
Al-Shabaab, raided the village
and left after harvesting green
maize from a farm there. The
farms owner, Mr Mohammed Ali
Gelogelo, said the raiders arrived
shortly after 9 pm and ransacked
his house before descending on
the farm.
I was hiding behind a tree
deep in the farm and I could
see them walking around. They
were heavily armed young men. I
watched them as they harvested,
he said.
Mr Jarajara, who said he came
face with the attackers, among
them a tall man who appeared
to be of European descent, said
the raiders identied themselves
as members of Al-Shabaab.
They asked me whether I was a
Muslim. When I responded in the
armative, two of them started
talking to me in Kiswahili and
then translated (the conversation)
into Arabic to the tall white man.
They told me that they were Al-
Shabaab members and they would
return once more.
He claimed that the attackers
were of dierent nationalities in-
cluding Somalis and Kenyans.
Mr Gelogelo Chole, 53, said
they had decided to move their
families out although they said
they would remain behind.
Come sunset and we pack our
beddings to go to spend nights in
the forest. It is safer than being
caught unawares by armed men,
he said.
Mrs Amina Athman, 20, a
mother of two was among doz-
ens of women and children who
moved into forests and Witu
town.
My husband has remained at
home to look after our farm but
due to fear of the gunmen, he and
other men in the village also sleep
in forests, she said.
The Saturday night raid came
two days after another on Thurs-
day night. In the latest attack, the
raiders scared away villagers,
broke into several houses and
ransacked them for valuable.
According to Abubakar Shabi, a
resident at Pandanguo, the raiders
struck at around 11pm.
They red in the air after which
many of the villagers escaped
When we heard the gunshots,
everyone ran to the bushes where
we hid till morning, said Mr
Shabi.
The raiders then invaded Jima
Farm where they harvested more
than two acres of green maize.
Among those who had their
houses broken into was a KWS
ocer.
Lamu County Commissioner
Miiri Njenga said security ocers
were investigating the attack.
It is surprising. Totally
perplexing. But their days are
numbered. We are closing in on
them, he said.
Mr Njenga also conrmed that
police were holding a truck driver
and his loader who had reported
the hijacking of their vehicle which
was later found in a farm without
its cargo of maize and sugar. He
said the crews story did not did
add up and they are likely to be
charged in court today.

The government has been asked
to implement recommendations
of the truth team to avert deadly
attacks in Lamu and Tana River
counties.
Kili Senator Stewart Madzayo
said the Truth, Justice and Recon-
ciliation Commission report was
important as it would address his-
torical injustices, including land
grabbing at the Coast, if imple-
mented. He was speaking during
a prize-giving day at Lutsangani
Secondary School in Chonyi.
It is believed the recent attacks
in Mpeketoni, Lamu County, and
Gamba in Tana River County are
linked to land ownership rows.
Land grabbing
The commission, set up in
2008, revealed that land grabbing
by prominent people was one of
the major historical injustices that
needed to be addressed.
The senator criticised the ongo-
ing police crackdown to ush out
criminal gangs, saying innocent
people were being harassed on the
pretext that they were Mombasa
Republican Council sympathisers.
He cited the case of an old man
and his son who were arrested last
week for possession of a panga and
a jembe on their way to a farm.
In a typical Coast village, it is
normal for one to carry a panga
while going to a farm, he said.

The recent arrest of seven
armed people inside Kaya
Chonyi and Kaya Jibana
forests in Kilifi County
highlights security chal-
lenges in the region.
During the security op-
eration, more than 1,000
youths were arrested,
separately.
Police said they sus-
pected the seven people
arrested in the forests to
be members of the banned
Mombasa Republican
Council (MRC).
A team from various po-
lice units and the National
Intelligence Service found
homemade guns, books on
martial arts training and
ags belonging to MRC in
the forests.
Acting Coast regional
CID coordinator Henry
Ondiek said the gang was
planning heavy attacks
on some towns in Kilifi
County.
The training base, deep
inside Kaya Chonyi, was
a clear indication that
the gang was headed by a
skilled person, according to
the police boss.
If you are aware of the
security set up of a military
training site, this resembles
one.
At the site, the gang used
a tall cashewnut tree as a
watchtower, he said.
Kili County Commis-
sioner Albert Kobia said
police found machetes,
slashers and knives. They
also found ve live goats
that detectives believe were
to be eaten by the attackers
before conducting a raid.
MRC leaders distanced
the group from recent
attacks in Kilifi, Lamu
and Tana River. Deputy
spokesman Richard Lewa
said the attacks were the
work of criminals and not
members of the group,
which is pushing for se-
cession of Coast.
Separately, Kili Gover-
nor Amason Kingi accused
the Interior ministry of
sidelining him on insecurity
operations in the county.

Mourners bearing the casket arrived
at the Cutchi Sunni Muslims Jamat

(afternoon) prayers. Special prayers
were then conducted inside a mosque
within the cemetery compound.
The body was then carried to its
nal resting place in an inner area
of the compound where journalists
were kept out.
Relatives, friends, business people
and fellow Muslims thronged the
venue and conversed in low tones
as a truck full of regular police and
a land cruiser full of Administration
Police ocers kept on passing near
the entrance.
The crowd was generally quiet, with
one or two people occasionally call-

30 minutes. There were no tears, and
no expression of emotions.

Kongowea Ward Representative
Jabes Mudhai Owuor and human

The leaders expressed shock at
the ongoing killings of prominent
business people, religious leaders
and security officers in Mombasa
without arrests being made.
Mr Nassir said a process had been
approved by Parliament to collect 88
signatures of MPs to have Cabinet
Secretary for Internal Security Joseph
ole Lenku sacked.
The process has already been ap-
proved and very soon we shall have
the 88 signatures from parliamentar-
ians to have Mr Lenku sacked. Its
the only way since calls to President
Uhuru Kenyatta to sack him have been
ignored while our people continue to
be killed. If the president does not
value the dead, let him know we value
them because they are our people,
he said.
Mr Awiti said in the past two years,
more than 30 prominent people in
Mombasa County had been killed,
with the government only promis-
ing to investigate the cases.
Insecurity is a big challenge in
Mombasa. Its like the movies. We
are giving the security agents one
month to rectify things or else we
shall hold one of the biggest dem-
onstrations in Mombasa to protest.
Enough is enough, he said.
Mr Sumra described the deaths
as extra-judicial killings and called
for a radical overhaul of the security
apparatus at the Coast.

He scoed at the plan by the

Cord leaders will meet
tomorrow to approve the
final list of members to
spearhead the push for a
national referendum.
Coalition principals Raila
Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka
and Moses Wetangula sep-
arately conrmed that the
meeting, which will bring
together leaders drawn
from ODM, Wiper and Ford
Kenya, and their advisors
will scrutinise the names
already proposed and de-
cide on the nal list.
Mr Odinga (below)
told the Nation on Friday
that the coalition was still
consulting over the names
since the task before the
team was enormous.
We will release the
names on Wednesday
next week. For now, we
are still holding con-
sultations among
ourselves over the
composition of
the team, he said
by telephone.
Mr Musyoka
said the coalition
was determined
to push on with
the national ref-
erendum, arguing
that the issues which
have been raised
by Cord were
not small.
We will meet on Tuesday
over the team to drive the
national referendum. These
are not small matters and
it is time every leader rec-
ognised that this country
is important and we need
to solve problems without
acrimony, he said.
Mr Wetangula said the
leaders had identied some
experts who would form the
referendum committee. He,
however, refused to name
the experts, saying it was
premature.
It is too early to release
the names. We are meeting
to agree on the individuals
and once that happens, we
will let you know. We, of
course, have some names
in mind but it is too early
to reveal them at this stage,
said the Senate Minority
leader.
Mr Odinga, Mr Musyoka
and Mr Wetangula
spent the better
part of Friday

in meetings with
their advisors,
scouting around
for names of ex-
perts in various
elds to sit on the
committee.
Cord chiefs to pick
team for new vote
BY GEOFFREY RONO

D
eputy President William Ruto
and other Jubilee leaders have
denounced the Oppositions
call for a referendum.
At the same time, Mr Ruto said
the Jubilee Administration would
support county governments through
disbursement of more funds for de-
velopment.
For meaningful development to be
realised in all parts of the country,
referendums, rallies and calls for
mass action would be of no value
to the lives of Kenyans as they are
retrogressive to the unity of purpose
and prosperity, he said.
Fully implemented
Mr Ruto and senators, MPs and
teachers union ocials who accom-
panied him yesterday to a Sunday
service at Africa Gospel Church in
Longisa, Bomet County, accused
former Prime Minister Raila Odinga
of pushing for amendment of the
Constitution before it has been fully
implemented.
During the Saba Saba rally in
Nairobi last week, Mr Odinga and
his Cord co-principals outlined 13
issues they wanted addressed and
announced that the Opposition
would form a committee to prepare
the country for a referendum on some
of the issues.
A few days later, in an interview
with the Nation, Mr Odinga said out of
the 13 issues, the Opposition wanted
a referendum on the electoral com-
mission, devolution and constitutional
provisions on the Legislature.
However, Mr Ruto and the leaders
who were with him yesterday claimed
that Cord, in calling for a referendum,
was only interested in destabilising
the Jubilee Administration to ensure it
fails to deliver what it promised before
the last General Election.
These are the same people who
were the rst to criticise some of
us who had called for some amend-
ments of the continuous clauses (in
the proposed Constitution) before its
promulgation, said Mr Ruto. It was
time for Kenyans to unite, irrespective
of their political aliation, for the sake
of development, he said. There are
many things that unite us as Kenyans
than (those) that can divide us.
Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure
Kindiki said Cord was fooling Ken-
yans that it was seeking a referendum
to reduce the cost of living, prices of
food, rents and other commodities.
Chepalungu MP Paul Bii said Mr
Odinga had called for withdrawal of
Kenyan troops out of Somalia yet he
was part of the former regime that
dispatched the military there.
Kenya National Union of Teachers
Secretary-General Wilson Sossion
said a referendum was not a matter
of priority.
He said the union supported the
government as long as it addressed
the plight of teachers.

T
he Parliamentary Service
Commission has come under
criticism from senators for al-
legedly favouring MPs and ignoring
the welfare of the 67 lawmakers in
the new House.
The commission, tasked with tak-
ing care of the aairs of lawmakers
in both the Senate and National As-
sembly, has been accused of focusing
more on matters aecting MPs and
relegating concerns by senators to
the periphery.
The parliamentary body is made up
of ve members of the National As-
sembly and three from the Senate.
Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi, who
has been vocal over the matter, said
the commission seemed to be promot-
ing the welfare of some lawmakers at
the expense of others.
There seems to be an agenda by
the commissions leadership to make
the Senate weak and ineective. We
will not accept this. We are tasked
with a bigger constitutional mandate
of protecting counties, said Mr Mu-
rungi in a telephone interview.
The complaints come amid a re-
newed battle for facilities between the
lawmakers from both Houses after
senators moved to the refurbished old
chamber within Parliament precincts
two weeks ago. They had been operat-
ing from the KICC and County Hall
over the past year when the chamber
was being renovated.
Senate Majority and Minority
leaders, and the clerk now have their
oces within Parliament Buildings.
Senators who spoke to the Nation
said they were yet to get parking
space within the precincts and were
now parking outside Parliament. The
lawmakers have also been asking for
well-equipped oces in their counties
but the request is yet to be considered
by the commission.

The National Police Service
Commission (NPSC) will be
looking for 10,000 Kenyans
aged between 18 and 28 who
will join the service after a
nine-month training.
It will be the biggest number
to be recruited for the police
in Kenyas history.
The massive drive is largely
aimed at reducing the police to
population ratio from 1:850 to
the international standard of
an ocer for every 400 citi-
zens, within the next ve years.
Potential recruits are required
to have attained a D+ (plus)
in the Kenya Certificate of
Secondary Education exami-
nation. Degree and diploma
certificate holders are also
encouraged to apply, provided
that they are not more than 30
years old.
The recruitment will be
conducted by dierent teams
at 289 centres across the
country.
The commission has pre-
scribed strict guidelines,
including automatic dis-
qualication for candidates
who attempt to inuence the
selection through canvassing,
cheating or bribery.
Endorsement letters
Those who seek endorse-
ment from politicians also
risk being disqualied.
In the past, some people
turned up at recruitment
centres with endorsement
letters from politicians. This
time, only recommendation

A wildlife lobby yesterday raised the
alarm over the drastic increase in the
price of ivory and rhino horns.
A study commissioned by Save the
Elephants has revealed that the price
of the horns in key markets, includ-
ing China, had tripled. This portends
a grim future for Africas elephants
and rhinos.
During the month-long survey, ivory
researchers Esmond Martin and Lucy
Vigne visited hundreds of retail outlets
and factories in Beijing and Shanghai
before they compared the new prices
with the ones they established in
Fuzhou four years ago.
The average price paid by crafts-
men or factory owners for good
quality elephant tusks in Beijing is
Sh182,700 ($2,100) per kilogramme.
Similar tusks went for Sh65,250
($750) per kilogramme in 2010,
said Dr Martin.
Save the Elephants said the surge
in the price of ivory was so attrac-
tive that poachers stepped up their
activity.
The huge demand and limited
supply of ivory is driving a wave of
killing of elephants across Africa that
shows little sign of abating.
With the ivory price in Africa
being a tenth of that in China, sub-
stantial prots are being generated
for organised crime that fuels inse-
curity, corruption and deprives local
communities of valuable income,
said the lobby. Save the Elephants
said an average of 33,000 elephants
were lost to poachers between 2010
and 2012.
Without concerted international
action to reduce the demand for
ivory, measures to reduce the killing
of elephants will fail, said Save the
Elephants founder Iain Douglas-
Hamilton.
He added: Although half a world
away, China holds the key to the future
of the African elephant.
Dr Martin and Ms Vigne revealed
that Angola provided a ready mar-
ket for illegally sourced ivory. They
said the country was Africas second
largest illegal ivory retail market after
Nigeria.
The city of Lagos in Nigeria has
more ivory items on sale. Stallholders
are secretive and aware of the regula-
tions but in Angolas Luanda salesmen
appeared unconcerned about getting
caught selling illegal ivory, says the
interim report.
Last month, Kenya lost its largest
elephant, Satao, when poachers struck
at Tsavo East National Park.
Satao was particularly appealing to
poachers due to its unusually large
tusks. They were more than two
metres long.
At the same time, security bosses in
Laikipia County are questioning the
ability of a private ranch to protect
wildlife following the killing of four
rhinos last Wednesday.
The incident has brought to eight
the number of white rhinos killed by
poachers at the 58,000-acre Ol Jogi
Conservancy in Laikipia North this
year alone. The conservancy boasts
of having the latest technology in
wildlife conservation.
The security committee, chaired
by County Commissioner Wilson
Wanyanga has set up a task force to
investigate the unending poaching
in the region, particularly of rhinos
at Ol Jogi.
Visit conservancies
The six-member task force is set
to visit other conservancies and will
give its report in two weeks.
We now doubt the capacity of
the conservancy to protect wildlife,
especially rhinos. It is worth noting
that this incident happened after KWS
(Kenya Wildlife Service) rangers were
withdrawn, said the county com-
missioner. On Friday, Mr Wanyanga
chaired a security meeting that lasted
eight hours at the ranch, where the
idea of a task force was discussed.

A
wildlife conservationist
has vowed to oppose a
Cabinet decision to
allow construction of a road
inside the Nairobi National
Park until its impact on the
environment is determined.
Dr Paula Kahumbu, the ex-
ecutive director of the Kenya
Land Conservation Trust and
WildlifeDirect, said they would
use all means to ensure the law
is followed before construc-
tion of the Southern By-pass
through the park.
On Thursday, the Cabinet
allocated about 38 ha of the
national park for construction
of the road. It resolved that the
park would be compensated
hectare for hectare.
This road will ease con-
gestion in the city centre by
re-routing city heavy com-
mercials and other vehicles
proceeding to Rift Valley and
East African countries, said
a Cabinet brief.
Dr Kahumbu said they
would lobby MPs to reject
the proposal until an environ-
mental impact assessment is
conducted and agreed on.
We are not opposed to de-
velopment but what we want
is the law to be followed in
ensuring that such projects
have the blessing of Kenyans
as stipulated in the Constitu-
tion, she said.
If we do not follow the law,
then we will be putting at risk
other parks in the country.
The government had not
complied with an order of
the National Environment
Tribunal to obtain all re-
quired permits, licences and
authorisation under relevant
laws before allowing the con-
struction, she said.
Last year, the tribunal
stopped the construction of
a section of the by-pass road
and asked the government to
follow the law if it wished to
degazette the aected section
of the national park.
It ruled that there was an im-
minent threat of encroachment
in the park if the construction
was allowed to continue.
Endangered bird species
The Nairobi National Park
is home to a pride of 15 lions,
endangered bird species and
plant varieties, including the
whistling acacia thorn tree
which provides fodder to the
black rhino.
The Sh17 billion Southern
by-pass project was launched
in March, 2013, and was
scheduled for completion in
36 months.
Early this month, a task
force on wildlife security
chaired by former Kenya
Wildlife Service director Ne-
hemiah Rotich warned that
mega national infrastructure
projects could undermine the
growth of tourism.
It cited the Lamu Port
Southern Sudan-Ethiopia
Transport corridor project,
the Galana irrigation scheme
and KenGen works at the Hells
Gate National Park as sources
of threat to wildlife and their
habitat.

T
he Teachers Service Com-
mission has described as
insignicant the amount it has
been allocated to employ additional
tutors this nancial year.
Commission Secretary Gabriel
Lengoiboni (right) said the teacher
shortage currently stands at 89,000,
up from last years 74,000.
The amount allocated is for hir-
ing only 5,000 teachers for primary,
secondary and tertiary levels. This is
very little compared to the current
shortage that the country is experi-
encing, he said.
Speaking at Kibirichia Boys High
School during the Buuri constituency
education day yesterday, Mr Lengoi-
boni said the commission was working
on the modalities of distributing the
new teachers.
He called on the government to
ensure more funds were allocated to
the commission so that it can recruit
more teachers.
The secretary announced that the
government had allocated Sh3 billion
for the promotion of 7,500 teachers,
3,800 of whom would soon receive
letters on the upgrade.
Mr Lengoiboni urged county educa-
tion boards to review the registration
of new schools in their regions, say-
ing the process was being based on
other interests.
New schools should be regis-
tered on the basis of need as there
is a serious shortage of teachers in
the country
The boards should play their role
eectively to ensure provision of qual-
ity education, he said.
At the same time, the secretary en-
couraged teachers to go for refresher
courses to improve their knowledge
and skills. He said the Constitution
had empowered the commission to set
and review standards in teaching.
Education stakeholders in the
area appealed to the commission
to ensure the area is classied as a
hardship zone.
Teething problems
Buuri MP Kinoti Gatobu said teach-
ers working in the sub-county were
facing teething problems, which would
ease if it were considered a hardship
area.
Mr Lengoiboni has promised to
facilitate a meeting with Devolution
Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru so
that we can ensure the sub-county
is considered a hardship zone. This
will stop our teachers from asking
for transfers to other regions, said
the MP.

National News 11
K
enyans will generally
agree that two of
the most morally
bankrupt groups of
people in this country are
politicians and religious
leaders. These groups have
conspired to portray a
holier-than-thou image to
the Kenyan public. Pastors,
priests and clerics preach
water while drinking wine.
Politicians do the same.
In Kenya the vilest, most
corrupt politicians are
allowed to stand in houses
of worship and preach to
congregations. In our highly
unequal country, not all
believers are equal in the
eyes of God. Politicians
have a special place in our
churches, mosques and
temples.
This is why, instead of
calling a press conference,
or making an ocial
announcement, Interior
Cabinet Secretary Joseph
ole Lenku used the
opportunity of a Sunday
church service to make
the startling claim that
the Mombasa Republican
Council and Mungiki,
backed by opposition
politicians, were behind the
Mpeketoni attacks in Lamu
county.
Perhaps Mr Lenku
believed that making this
statement in church would
lend it credibility because it
was uttered before God.
I dont understand why
in Kenya pastors and
priests allow politicians to
use churches as political
platforms. People go to
church to learn about the
teachings of Jesus and to
save their souls from eternal
damnation. They dont go
to church to hear political
speeches.
I would be deeply
oended if I went to a
place of worship where I
am denied an opportunity
to pray and contemplate
the meaning of life because
the pulpit has been hogged
by a politician who wants
to make capital out of his
presence there.
Yet this has been
happening since the Moi
days, and all politicians
whether from the ruling
party or the opposition
are guilty of soiling the
houses of worship with
their cheap, and quite often
inammatory, political
propaganda.
Having said that, I also
dont understand why
the Jubilee government,
which has been particularly
astute about maintaining a
carefully-managed public
image, and which has
several public relations
people on its payroll, would
allow Mr Lenku to be
the face of Kenya at this
particularly trying time in
the countrys history.
Mr Lenku, unlike
President Uhuru Kenyatta,
is neither articulate nor
charming. He is a public
relations disaster for the
Jubilee government and
should be relieved of his
duties as soon as possible.
The Opposition is not
doing any better either.
When known criminals,
liars and thieves within
the Opposition ponticate
about ethics, morality and
the rule of law, it just sounds
hollow. They should stop
the hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, nobody seems
to want to get to the bottom
of who really was behind
the attacks in Mpeketoni.
As usual, politicians from
all sides are exploiting
the attacks for their own
advantage. Few care about
those who died or their
grieving families.
The government is also
not investigating claims
that the attackers might
have been Kenyan Somalis
trained by the Kenyan
Defence Forces.
The Sunday Nation found
that a training exercise
intended for Somali soldiers
ended up compromising
Kenyan security because
those being trained were
not Somalis but Kenyans,
who melted into their
communities after their
training and could now be
wreaking havoc within the
countrys borders.
In 2011, Mr Raila Odinga
told the Africa Report that
the Kenyan government
could not account for at
least 400 ethnic Somali
counter-insurgents it had
been training since 2009 in
preparation for the countrys
invasion of Somalia.
Apparently, recruits were
lured by the prospect of
high salaries, which never
materialised. As a result,
several of them abandoned
their training. Some might
have even defected to Al-
Shabaab.
The government did not
heed warnings from several
quarters that the training
was awed and could prove
to be a security risk.
The Kibaki government
should take some
responsibility for the
current state of insecurity in
the country.
On its part, the Jubilee
government should accept
that it did not seal the
fault-lines in the countrys
security apparatus. On the
contrary, it created more
fault lines which have made
the country even more
insecure.

Lessons we can learn
from the World Cup
T
he just-concluded Fifa World Cup tournament
oers important lessons for sports managers
not just in Kenya but in Africa as a whole.
Generally, it is to be observed that the teams that
performed best made great investments in the sport
and in their youthful talents, and they have now
reaped the dividends.
The important lesson that sports managers ought
to take from this is that it takes time to identify
and nurture talent to a point where a national team
becomes one of the best in the world.
Kenya should domesticate this lesson and use
it as a basis for initiating reforms that would yield
better results for our national teams, especially
now when the country is preparing for the
Commonwealth Games.
The teams that had star players did not just have
them by happenstance. It took time and eort and
the people entrusted with the job of scouting for the
talent and developing it ought to be commended for
setting a good example about how to develop sport.
It should also not be lost on them that African
teams were put on the spot over allegations of
match-xing, casting a pall over their reputation
in spite of the huge emotional investment made by
their supporters within the continent and beyond.
What this pointed out, sadly, is that besides
nurturing talent, it is important to inculcate values
like integrity among players and their managers to
improve results and perception.
In Kenya, a great deal more needs to be done
to transform sport management, starting with
the basics, such as motivating players through
timely and adequate compensation, harnessing the
emotional investment that fans put in the teams,
and ensuring there are dividends for all the players.
It should also help the country benet from the
positive publicity generated by sports appearances
at the global stage.
Unifying the masses
In the meantime, the curtain has fallen on the World
Cup, leaving sports fanatics with historic memories
of the sporting bonanza.
One of the lessons learnt from this month-long
extravaganza is how sports can play a signicant
role in unifying the people of the world.
The World Cup is one of the few platforms where
nations ght without shedding blood. In Brazil, we
saw American, Asian and African teams contest the
games freely and with respect for each other.
We also witnessed rare occasions where the entire
continent rallied behind its ve representative
nations in Brazil.
Closer to home, Kenyans religiously supported
dierent teams as the tournament progressed, but
all discussions on this subject remained sober.
The 20th Fifa World Cup provided one of the rare
occasions where there were no winners and losers
both on and o the pitch.
Our hope is that this kind of sober mentality can
penetrate into other spheres of our daily lives.
This global event is popular because, besides
bringing together disparate nations, it also provides
welcome relief from a humdrum existence. The
fact that it is becoming dirty in certain areas
notwithstanding, football remains the universal
game. We must strive to make it remain clean.

HATE SPEECH | Mutuma Ruteere
E
thnic hatred and
incitement to ethnic
violence have now
migrated to the Internet
and social media in Kenya.
In blogs, on Facebook and
on Twitter, Kenyans have
taken the venom of ethnic
chauvinism, hatred and
incitement to the digital world
to escape the fairly eective
measures adopted by the
print and broadcast media
restricting inciting speech.
Indeed, the retreat of the
hate-mongers to the crevices
of the Internet is a testament
to the eectiveness of some of
the measures taken to regulate
harmful speech since the post-
election violence.
In particular, the
establishment of the National
Cohesion and Integration
Commission provided the
country with an important
mechanism for addressing
incitement to ethnic violence.
Whereas that commission
has been roundly criticised by
many Kenyans, its constant
summons to politicians
allegedly engaged in ethnic
incitement has considerably
tempered some of the
utterances that would have
otherwise added fuel to the
res of ethnic divisions.
Commendably too, some
technology industry players
have been willing to take down
some of the viral comments
posted on social media
platforms.
There is now in Kenya
debate in both popular
and policy circles as to
what limits, restrictions
or guidelines should be
established to ensure the
protection of freedom of
speech and opinion without at
the same time setting aame
communities.
That debate is important
as the ongoing insecurity
dangerously intersects with
ethnic divisions and conicts.
Regulation of hate speech
in Kenya is in its infancy in
terms of law and policy.
Even more challenging is
the policy and legal response
to this kind of speech on the
Internet and social media.
For all democracies, the
regulation of the Internet and
social media without opening
the oodgates for State
censorship of political speech
or the control of thoughts by
the powerful is a formidable
challenge.
I have addressed this
delicate but necessary balance
in my June report to the UN
Human Rights Council. That
report warns that extremist
groups, racist and xenophobic
groups have retreated to
the safety and anonymity of
the Internet to recruit new
members, mobilise and incite
hatred against ethnic and
racial groups and minorities.
Whereas some States
have attempted to regulate
the content on the Internet
websites and social media
through criminal and
administrative law sanctions,
the borderless nature of the
Internet continues to weaken
this approach.
Hate sites are sometimes
located in countries that oer
them near-absolute freedom,
thus limiting the eorts of one
country to control the content.
Those opposed to any form of
regulation cite this diculty
as evidence of the futility of
using national law to regulate
what is a global mode of
communication.
Moreover, the argument
goes, what is needed is more
good speech to counter bad
speech on the Internet and
any measures to regulate the
Internet are likely to lead to
political censorship.
However, most rights
protecting constitutions as
well as international human
rights law provide the
framework for the prohibition
of a narrow category of
harmful speech.
Incitement to genocide,
to war crimes and to crimes
against humanity do not
qualify as protected speech.
No one would disagree that
the restriction, and indeed
the banning, of hate radios
and newspapers that fuelled
the Rwandan genocide would
have been within the rules of
human rights.
The fears over the chilling
eect of any form of
criminal or administrative
law regulating the Internet
are, however, not entirely
unfounded. Consequently, any
form of criminal law sanctions
should be based on clear
legislation and restricted to a
very small category of speech.
Restrictions of even this
vile speech should not be at
the sole discretion of those in
power, or done in secrecy in
the name of national security.
Even more important,
such decisions must be
open to review by free and
independent judiciaries.
As a leader on digital
technology in Africa, Kenya
has the opportunity to provide
the leadership on regulation
of ethnically inciting Internet
and social media content.
The Kenyan Judiciary is well-
positioned to elaborate on
what constitutes prohibited
speech in line with the
constitutional protections of
freedom of expression.
The cases on hate speech
and incitement currently
pending before various
courts are an opportunity
for the courts to provide
guidelines on this issue.
Also, a stakeholder approach
bringing together technology
companies, the State,
independent institutions
and civil society should be
encouraged.
Independent national
institutions such as the
National Cohesion and
Integration Commission
and the Kenya National
Commission on Human
Rights are best placed to
assess content on websites
and social media and advise
the government and service
providers on what should be
taken down.

Rapporteur on Contemporary
Forms of Racism, Racial
Discrimination, Xenophobia
and Related Intolerance.
The State must deal rmly with ethnic
incitement on Internet and social media

WE ARE UNDER CURFEW. Could a curfew have
been quietly imposed at Mshomoroni on the North
Coast? asks Mombasa resident Isaac Mukua. Ocers
from Nyali Police Station, he claims, have lately
been moving from bar to bar ordering patrons out
well before 11pm. Not only have they been targeting
drinkers during the just-ended World Cup matches,
but also the mama mbogas who sell groceries in the
evenings. Those arrested, he alleges, must cough up
Sh3,000 each to buy their freedom.

UNHAPPY WITH MEDIA. A bitter critic of the
media, Moses Kimutai, is unhappy about headlines
that tend to glorify only the negative aspects.
Though I cherish freedom of the Press, I wonder
whether they have a role to play in promoting the
good of the country. He always nds media coverage
polarising. But the negative reporting will not
promote the Brand Kenya, trade, stable exchange
rates, tourism and so on. According to him, the
reporting should be more ethical, developmental,
positive, progressive and benecial to Kenyans. His

WHAT NEW BEGINNING? When Nairobi Water
Company was launched slightly more than 10 years
ago, its slogan, ...a new beginning..., was imaginative,
attractive, fresh and made plenty of sense, notes Njeri
Muathe. However, she adds, the same slogan is still
inscribed on the water utilitys motor vehicles that she
often comes across. How long will their beginning
remain new? she wonders. Surely, not after 10 years of
service to the capital citys residents!
DISEMPOWERED. Hannah W. Kariuki applied for
electricity connection to her rural home in Timau last
year, promptly paying the requisite fee of Sh34,980.
But to her utter shock, all her neighbours who applied
at the same time were connected last month, and only
she was left out. And last week, she got a letter, Ref
PK3B/11-B/3/1, requiring that she pay an additional
Sh314,342.00! I dont understand why I should pay
10 times more than my neighbours. The reference is

C
hinas rise has raised many
questions for the West, with
some wondering whether it is set
to usurp a struggling Europes global
leadership role. As one columnist put
it, there is nothing much European
governments can do in East Asia, save
serve as marketing managers for their
domestic businesses.
With neither the diplomatic weight nor the
military heft to make an impression in the
region, Europe had better leave the heavy
lifting to the United States. But this does
not have to be the case.
For Europe, the implications of Chinas
rise are far-reaching, beginning with the
United States strategic pivot towards
Asia. After more than 70 years as a top
US priority, Europe is beginning to lose
its privileged position in the eyes of
American policymakers.
Moreover, European sale of high-
tech dual-use products that complicate
Americas security role in Asia is bound to
create friction.
Nonetheless, warnings that the Atlantic
partnership is eroding are unduly dire.
Tellingly, US President Barack Obamas
administration has replaced the term
pivot, which implies a turn away from
something, with rebalancing.
This change reects a recognition that
Chinas increasing economic dominance
does not negate the importance of the
European Union, which remains the
worlds largest economic entity and
a leading source of innovation, not to
mention values like the protection of
human rights.
This is not to say that Asias rise will
not demand adjustments. When the
Industrial Revolution began, Asias share
of the global economy began to decline
from more than 50 per cent to just 20 per
cent by 1900.
Economic dominance
By the second half of this century, Asia is
expected to recover its former economic
dominance that is, account for 50
per cent of global output while lifting
millions of people out of poverty.
This power shift perhaps the most
consequential of the 21st century implies
serious risks. Historians often warn that
the fear and uncertainty generated by the
emergence of new powers like China can
trigger serious conict, like that which
Europe experienced a century ago, when
Germany overtook the UK in industrial
production.
With Asia riven by territorial disputes
and historical tensions, maintaining a
stable security balance will not be easy.
But there are levers in place that can help.
If China pursues a peaceful rise, its
neighbours will focus on building strong
economic relationships with it. If it
throws its weight around which some
say is implied by its recent actions on the
Indian border and in the East and South
China seas its neighbours will seek to
balance its power, with an American naval
presence oering back-up.
Where does Europe t into this picture?
For starters, it should monitor and
restrain sensitive exports to avoid making
the security situation more dangerous for
the US.

SATURDAYS QUESTION
What is your opinion on the many cases of missing persons?
SILA LAGAT: Cases of lost per-
sons have puzzled many. How can
a person just disappear, never to be
found? This has brought much suf-
fering to the families involved. I think
it has something to do with domestic
problems and the hard times that
Kenyans nd themselves in.
ODHIAMBO OBARE: Deplorable.
As the search continues, the suering
of the families concerned should be
alleviated by forming support groups
to teach them coping mechanisms
and to deal with the ensuing anxiety
or grief.
KARANJA KANGETHE: I think
the best thing is for each person to
take extra caution when alone with-
out friends and relatives.
MACKENZIE RENNY JR: Its a
shame that our country has all sorts
of misdeeds, including corruption,
nepotism, politicking, insecurity and
of course missing people. The gov-
ernment should ensure all citizens
are safe. These mysteriously missing
souls are part of our communal soul.

S
ugar smuggling must now
be a national crisis with the
intelligence chief last week
shockingly telling a parliamentary
committee that he did not know
the people behind the racket.
Those in the know will attest
that indeed it is possible that the
NIS does not know who are the
kingpins of sugar smuggling.
Over the past year, the govern-
ment has been instituting reforms
aimed at facilitating trade with the
EAC partners. However, certain
loopholes have been created by the
well-intentioned reforms that make
smuggling a piece of cake.
One of the changes is that goods
in transit should not be subjected to
verication at the port, and that all
transit goods check points Mari-
akani, Mlolongo and Gilgil be
removed. Previously, transit goods
could be veried, then sealed by
customs. Checkpoints along the
way ensured that the goods were
intact and that the transit trucks
followed a specic transit route.
Foreign identities
So what the sugar smugglers are
doing is using foreign identities
(eg Tanzanian) to import transit
containers lled with sugar but de-
clared as, say ceramic tiles. When
the containers leave the port they
divert them along the way, empty
the sugar and replace it with locally
acquired ceramic tiles. At the bor-
der, customs ocers will nd the
consignment tallies with the decla-
ration and will raise no issue.
The other major reform involved
restructuring the power structure
within the port, with Kenya Ports
Authority being given the ultimate
power to regulate all government
agencies at the port. Previously, it
was customs that called the shots,
and this gave it the mandate to
exercise its security enforcement
responsibility. Customs would thus
liaise with and share information
with security agencies such as In-
terpol, police, CID and NIS.
Right now the responsibility of or-
ganising all agencies lies with KPA
whose objectives are only faster and
cheaper clearance of goods. The
role of customs has been reduced
to just collecting import taxes. This
has denied agencies such as NIS the
security information they shared.
The recently signed Port Charter
added to the fortunes of smugglers
by giving importers and exporters
specic timelines. This restricts the
time security agencies could use to
investigate suspicious cargo.
The recent flooding of the
market with GMO food is also a
consequence of this as now each
government agency is watching
the clock. If customs stops such
consignments it is the one blamed
for causing delays, so it leaves the
responsibility to the agency legally
empowered to deal with GMOs.
Right now, we dont have control
of what is entering this country in
the guise of transit goods.

Hold national dialogue on IEBC to avoid 2017 election boycott
Dear Mr President,
I am a law abiding citizen. I respect you as my
President. I know you mean well for Kenya and I wish
you all the best as you plan how to steer the country
to greater heights.
But there are well known challenges that the coun-
try is facing and Cords Raila Odinga has recently
listed them. I also respect him, as he has in the past
helped in democratising the country.
Since you do not want national dialogue as per the
dictates of Mr Odinga, you can decide to address the
issues that he has raised one by one by involving eve-
rybody who needs to be roped in.
I am begging you to kick o the debate on IEBC.
You have only three years left to the end of your cur-
rent term. We need an IEBC that all sides are happy
with at least one year to the next General Election.
As you know, the Auditor-General wants the IEBC
chairman and his top ocials suspended, and hauled
to court for suspected procurement irregularities.
Sir, you will recall that Mr Odinga also had a prob-
lem with the IEBC, and said the tallying centre at
Bomas was electronically linked to NIS.
Sir, I am humbly asking you to invite all political
parties and agree on this IEBC matter. You realise
that Jubilee cannot go to the elections alone in 2017.
If Cord boycotts the elections, you can expect chaos.
GITHUKU MUNGAI, Nairobi
Security has worsened in our
country, courtesy of terrorists, loose-
tongued politicians and gun-toting
thugs. But there are better and inno-
vative ways of securing the streets,
business premises, and homes.
Financially-endowed cities and
towns should be allowed to hire
their own police. The same should
be extended to certain institutions
like universities. Even monied gov-
ernment corporations and agencies
should be allowed to do so.
This way more jobs would be cre-
ated, security would be improved,
and more cops on the government
payroll would be freed to serve the
masses. The government can learn
about this arrangement from the
West it loves to hate and discredit.
ANTONY ALEX IRUNGU, Nairobi
Allow towns and rms

Universities should consider es-
tablishing constituent colleges in
Githunguri to serve Kiambu, Lari,
Limuru and Gatundu.
While the place has the pride of
producing academic giants now in
the private and public universities, it
has no colleges of higher learning to
perpetuate this tradition.
Githunguri and its environs are
endowed with robust agri-business
economy, good infrastructure and
a dense population that can sustain
any investment. This will help stu-
dents whose parents cannot aord
daily fare or hostel rent. Aordable
education spurs economic growth.

I have read the Nation for as long
as I can remember. I am however not
sure whether to be loyal any more.
I cannot believe Saturday Nation
has forced on us this person who
pretends to write about family af-
fairs. City Girl articles are devoid
of thought and sound like the rant-
ings of a bitter person.
The articles are not thought-pro-
voking and are rather oensive.
They lack facts and do not face the
elephant in the room the eects of
indelity on the family and society
at large. Families are breaking down
because of such behaviour, and the
last thing we need is some person
fanning the re. I think there are cre-
ative writers out there who will not
turn the Nation into a tabloid rag.

readers a lot of injustice
TRAVEL WARNING: That Kenya
issued a genuine travel advisory
against her colonial master is music
to my ears. Kenya has nally come
out of her shell and held her head
up high. Whether her action is a
revenge against UK which in the
last couple of weeks has issued a
number of warnings against her, and
is believed to sell arms to the ght-
ers in Lamu County, I am proud to
be a Kenyan at this point of history.
Though a friend travelling from UK
will not honour the advisory, Kenyas
is nonetheless a worthy move.

DEFEATED FORCES: Fresh attacks
in Lamu at Pandanguo on the night
of Thursday-Friday shows Kenyan
security forces are in deep slumber
and heads must now start to roll.
Lamu is too small an area for our
forces to fail to restore runaway
insecurity. What did they go to do
in larger Somalia leaving Kenyans
to be attacked by both external and
home-grown terror groups? Police
reservists lost six guns to the raid-
ers. Its as though our security forces
have raised their arms in surrender
and defeat.

THANKS, WRITERS: Many thanks
to Lucy Ann and Nicholas Cheruiyot
for their recent bountiful compli-
ments and concern about yours truly.
That should be the spirit among us.
I had no idea that I could be having
fans, least of all females, given the
way Ive in the past lambasted their
mode of dress and continue to
do so! I not only speak my mind on
Mailbox, but also in a one-on-one
encounter, and those with ears to
hear do hear and reform. Ive not

EMULATE OBAMA: I am writing in
support of James O. Kiharis article
in last Thursdays Nation Let lead-
ers borrow from Obamas speeches
when faced with adversities. He
said that during the Boston Mara-
thon on April 15, 2013 when dozens
of people died and others were
seriously injured, President Obama
made a speech to the nation which
was meant to unite all Americans
irrespective of the political divide.
Obama said that on days like this
there are no Republicans or Demo-
crats. Let Kenyan leaders learn that
Jubilee and Cord are just names of
today, but Kenya needs unity.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY REPORT FOR PROPOSED OIL EXPLORATORY
DRILLING AROUND THE BORDER OF LAGHBOGOL AND KORICH LOCATIONS IN
BLOCK 2B IN WAJ1R COUNTY.
Pursuant to Regulation 21 of the Environmental Management and Coordination (Impact Assessment and Audit)
Regulations, 2003, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environmental Impact
Assessment Study Report for the above proposed project.
The Proponent (Lion Petroleum Corporation) is proposing drill oil and gas around the border of Laghbogol and Korich
locations in Block 2B Wajir County.
The proposed project will include: storage fabricated containers and tents, air conditioned containers to be used
as administration block and offices, air conditioned tents to use for the staff accommodation, specially fabricated air
conditioned containers to be used as toilet, washing room and laundry, tented workshops for use as garage, cable and
mechanic repairs, fuel storage facilities will be erected at the camp as guided by the petroleum act, a borehole will be drilled
to supply water to the Campsite, leveled parking for the motor vehicles, equipment and machinery, a drilling rig will be
constructed within the camp site boundaries and an oil exploration well will be drilled within the campsite boundaries.
The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures:
IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURE
Vegetation loss and
Soil erosion
The developer will undertake grass planting as the construction progresses to avoid the
solid being washed or carried by wind.
Places of least vegetation cover will be identified for the campsite and only construction
points will be completely cleared to ensure minimum vegetative disturbance.
Proper roof catches and gutters will be put in place to control the possible increased
runoff.
Temporary storage tanks will be supplied to trap this water for irrigating planted
vegetation.
Wherever possible vegetation within the campsite should be preserved and where
plants must be uprooted they should be recycled into use as construction materials.
firewood or converted into soil manure
Air pollution Pour water on vehicle paths to reduce dust
When possible vehicles should be used when most people and livestock are indoors
Waste Management The Campsite will be equipped with toilet and washing facilities fully connected
to licensed septic tanks as witnessed in the previous camp in the same block.
Appropriate sized portable toilets will be availed to the field staff during their working
hours and to keep with the movement of operations.
The proponent will ensure that it enlists a licensed private company specialized in the
handling oil and solid waste. Biodegradable kitchen waste will be composted on site for
tree planting manure.
A Good housekeeping as part of the company policy will be implemented at the facility.
Ground Water
Contamination
The drilling project area does not have permanent Surface River with flowing water or
stream.
The seasonal streams on site are dry beds only holding water occasionally during the wet
rainy season.
The drilling operations may have to stop temporarily during the very wet season when
working in the area becomes difficult.
The project will have an adequate drainage on site containment to minimize uncontrolled
storm water.
Well documented procedures for maintenance of the drainage system will be
implemented and staff will be trained accordingly.
Oil waste will never be allowed into the environment; proper containment and accidental
spill absorption regime will be implemented at all times.
Traffic congestion
and accidents
The earth road network is not a busy one. Logistical procedures will ensure ease of
movement.
Materials will be packed properly in specialized carriers to reduce chances of falls on the
road.
Assistance will be sought from Traffic Department where necessary
Occupational Health
and safety
Dust containment and suction systems will be installed on the campsite.
Use of PPEs will be strictly enforced. Welders will be provided with respirators, eye
protections and dustcoats to minimize inhalations.
Regular medical checks will be done and records maintained of the employees.
Staff working at the plant will have medical cover. Sanitation related education and
practice would form part of the facilitys regular routine, to avoid incidences of infections
such as cholera, bilharzias and malaria.
Swapping of work stations for staff will reduce level exposure.
The full report of the proposed project is available for inspection during working hours at:

Julius Kimathi yesterday said negotiations to that
eect were at an advanced stage. What we need is
accountability, the right attitude, transparency and

Do not hide mining
data, caution experts
BY REBECCA OKWANY
@beckyakinyi
rokwany@ke.nationmedia.com
T
ransparency and ac-
countability are the key
to preventing conicts
likely to occur with the dis-
covery of minerals, experts
have said.
It will be equally advisable for
the government to involve com-
munities and other stakeholders
aected by mining activities,
United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) Country
Director Maria-Threase Keat-
ing said.
This comes at a time the coun-
try has discovered deposits of
titanium, oil and gas in Kwale,
Lamu, Turkana and several other
counties.
It is a shame that mismanage-
ment of mineral resources and
wealth can result in ghting and
communities being torn apart,
leaving them poorer than before,
Ms Keating told journalists dur-
ing a Mining Industry workshop
at the Neptune Hotel in Kwale.
She said civil wars in coun-
tries like Liberia, DR Congo
and Sierra Leone were due to
the control of mineral wealth
and poor wealth management
structures.
UNDP Inclusive Growth and
Social Development Programme
Ocer Patrick Maingi empha-
sised the need for government
openness in the processes involv-
ing mining.
All the mining information
needs to be open to everybody.
People want to know who signed
the contract, when and where it
was signed, how much it will be
worth, among other things, he
told the meeting late last week.
He said that there was a
tendency by the authorities to
ignore concerns of the local
communities, resulting in un-
necessary loss of lives and
destruction of property.
The resident who has known
the mining area as a grazing eld
needs a concrete assurance of
compensation, he said.
University of Nairobi En-
vironmental Law and Policy
lecturer Collins Odote advised
the government to consider join-
ing agencies such as Extractive
Industry Transpar-
ency Initiative (Eiti) which, he
said, had assisted member states
to promote transparency.
Dr Odote said Eiti had devel-
oped a standard that assessed
the levels of transparency around
countries oil, gas and mineral
resources through a board
consisting of representatives
from governments, extractive
companies, civil society and in-
ternational organisations and
institutional investors.
The lecturer also advised
Kenya to emulate best mineral
management practices from
countries such as Botswana
which have avoided conflicts
and minted mineral wealth into
their development.
Media Council of Kenya chief
executive ocer Harun Mwangi
urged journalists who covered
stories on extractive industry to
checklist all stakeholders in the
mining industry to ensure they
did not go against the law.
More than 25 participants
from different media houses
attended the two-day training.
Government urged
to follow example
of countries
like Botswana
BLOOD MINERALS
Gold, diamond and
oil remain a curse
Africa is rich in minerals. Ironi-
cally, the wealth has been a curse
to many. Almost all civil wars in the
continent are or were as a result of
control of resources. Chad, Sudan,
DR Congo and others have had
such bloody conicts. Kenya has
been advised to involve nearby
communities in mining activities.

Salim Sumra, a business partner of Mr Shahid
Bhutt who was gunned down on Friday, said
security agents must unravel the killing and arrest
those involved to end the anxiety that had gripped
the business community. Mr Bhutt had gone to
pick his son at the airport when he died under
the hail of bullets. We are saddened and disturbed
since the shooting occurred near Changamwe

A Meru MP has asked the national

Tigania West MP David Karithi said
there was an acute food and water
shortage due to inadequate rains,
especially in his constituency.
Areas particularly hard hit are
Mula, Reii and Mumui areas where
more than 50,000 families are in
dire need of food. Although nobody
has died, the MP said there may be
casualties if no urgent measures are
taken to supply food. Many schools
in the area, the MP lamented, do
not benet from the school feeding
programme, forcing many pupils
to stay at home. Rising insecurity
has also contributed to the food
shortage.

Bill on 200 village heads rejected
BY KITAVI MUTUA
@KitaviM
kmutua@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he county Assembly has re-
jected a crucial Bill seeking to
create 200 village administra-
tive units.
The unanimous stand by the mem-
bers was prompted by claims that the
Executive was using the House as
a rubber stamp to validate its poli-
cies and decisions without regard to
the law.
During debate on the Villages
Bill 2014, members questioned
why the Executive was seeking
their approval when it had already
started recruiting the village ad-
ministrators without a law to
determine the number and names of
the units.
Deputy Speaker Ndemwa Mbiti
(Nguutani), representatives Peter
Kilonzo (Athi), Jamhuri Mwango
(Ikanga), Alex Mwendwa (Mu-
lango) and Angela Mbula (Kyuso)
all from Wiper Party, argued that
the Assembly was not there to
rubber-stamp Executive decisions
without scrutiny.
Electoral units
This Assembly must rise to the
occasion and resist any attempts
by the Executive to bulldoze their
decisions. We will not endorse Bills
and motions wholesale without scru-
tiny, said Mr Kilonzo.
He said the Bill, which sought
to create five villages in each of
Ward reps unite to
throw out proposed
law meant to create the
administrative units
This
Assembly
must rise
to the
occasion
and
resist any
attempts
by the
Executive
to bulldoze
their
decisions
Peter
Kilonzo, Athi
Ward Rep
40 wards, should be amended to
conform with variations in size and
populations of the electoral units.
The MCAs also demanded explana-
tions from the Leader of Majority why
the Executive had advertised for the
jobs when the proposed law had not
been passed by the Assembly, saying
the village administrator jobs were
non-existent in law.
The stand-o forced acting chair-
man of the Administration and
Coordination of County Affairs
committee Bernard Sila to withdraw
the Bill and promised to consult the
governors oce.
The Executive, through the County
Public Service Board, advertised for
294 positions of village administra-
tors last year. The move annoyed
members, who argued that tabling
the Bill months later was a mockery
of Assemblys legislative and oversight
authority.
Board secretary James Nduna con-
rmed that they had already received
thousands of applications but were
awaiting the Assembly to determine
the number and names of the villages
before shortlisting and recruiting.
Mr Nduna acknowledged that it was
a mistake to advertise the jobs before
the villages law was ready but said the
Board would invite fresh applications
after the Bill was debated and passed
by Assembly.
But Interior executive, the Rev Sa-
fari Kilonzo, defended the Executive
saying the procedural issues raised
by MCAs were unqualied and that
the Assembly should have passed the
Bill without amendments.

Mombasa Governor Hassan
Joho has threatened to with-
draw support for the National
Police Service.
This came as the war of
words between him and the
County Commissioner, Mr
Nelson Marwa over insecurity
and the use of police vehicles
intensied.
Mr Joho said he would
instead focus on the county
community policing offic-
ers and askaris to enhance
security. If you joke around
with me I will withdraw the
vehicles I donated to NPC,
paint them and donate them
to the Mombasa County
Government for community
policing, he said.
Speaking in Likoni, the gov-
ernor said no one appointed
Mr Marwa to speak on behalf
of the people of Mombasa. He
told the commissioner to stick
to security matters.
The commissioners bosses
respect us and we respect
them too, Mr Joho said.
The governor said he did
not understand why crime was
still high in Mombasa.
We have given you cars,
fuel and even drivers from
inspectorate, yet every day
we hear gunshots. This is
plain laziness, he said.
I will withdraw the drivers
and stop fuelling the cars. The
police need to do their work
diligently, Mr Joho said.

Ms Esther Ingolo of the
Governors Press Service Unit
said the county boss would
withdraw the maintenance
and insurance of the cars.
After what has transpired
I will keep o. Security is a
national function, he said.
As the dispute rages, a

region, sending shivers among
residents, the business com-
munity and security agents.

ing pressure on the already
strained security apparatus

Leaders seek
old maps to
resolve row
BY BARNABAS BII
bbii@ke.nationmedia.com
T
urkana and Pokot
elders have petitioned
the government to use
colonial-era maps to resolve
boundary disputes that have
triggered armed conflict
between the two pastoral
communities.
The sporadic attacks have
resulted in villagers fleeing
for safety and interrupted op-
erations at KenGen Turkwel
power plant and farming in
the agriculturally rich River
Kerio belt.
The government is aware
of an original map that
clearly demarcates our area
with Turkana, Trans Nzoia
and Uganda, which they have
to use to resolve the dispute,
said Mr William Lopetakou,
the chairman of the committee
addressing boundary issues in
Baringo and West Pokot.
Crop production
Five people were shot dead
last week and more than 2,000
livestock stolen in counter-
attacks between the two
communities. Many families
were displaced.
But the armed conflict
caused by cattle raids is now
being fuelled by increased crop
production around the River
Kerio, shared by the two com-
munities.
The ghts are no longer
about stealing of animals,
but members of the Pokot
Community want ownership
of land on both sides of the
two rivers because of its fertil-
ity, said Ms Joyce Emanikor,
Turkana County Woman Rep-
resentative.
Land issues
West Pokot Senator John
Lonyangapuo has supported
the stand taken by the elders,
noting that the boundary was
the main source of conict be-
tween the two communities.
Elders from the two com-
munities need to hold a series
of peace meetings to educate
community members on the
need to co-exist peacefully,
said Prof Lonyangapuo.
Turkana South MP James
Lomenen said peaceful ne-
gotiations between the two
communities should focus on
addressing the land issues.
Mr Elijah Kodo, the Turkana
South sub-county commis-
sioner, said police patrols had
been intensied to track down
suspects behind the unending
attacks.

demarcate boundaries in region,

Governor roots for new county law
that allows him to y national ag
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kisumu governor Jack Ranguma plans to
introduce a law allowing him to y the national
ag on his ocial car.
Mr Ranguma said county assemblies had
the power to enact laws permitting their
respective governors to y both the national
and county ags.
The move comes in the wake of the coming
into eect of the National Emblems Act, which
excluded governors from the list of those al-
lowed to y national ags on their vehicles.
Speaking in Homa Bay County at the
weekend, Mr Ranguma revealed that the
County Assembly of Kisumu was working
on the Bill.
There is no reason why MPs should bar us
from ying the national ag, he said.
He challenged his Homa Bay counterpart Mr
Cyprian Awiti to also ask his County Assembly
members to enact a similar law.
I urge you, my brother, to ask your MCAs
to enact such a law that will allow you y the
two ags, he added.
Mr Ranguma said he was forced to remove
the Kisumu County ag from his car as he
entered Homa Bay county, due to lack of
such a law.
Earlier, Homa Bay County Assembly
Speaker Samwel Ochilo criticised MPs for
passing the law that forbids governors from
ying the national ag.
He asked the MPs to amend the law and let
governors y the ag.
We do not see why the MPs should deny
governors the opportunity to y the ag which
is a symbol of national unity, he said.

audit queries raised in the
Auditor Generals report.
The report accuses the of-
ficials of selling the houses
without the approval of the
Minister for Local Authority
as stipulated in the law.
Auditor General Edward
Ouko said that at the time
of the audit, the balance of
Sh11.9 million had not been
paid, contrary to the terms of
the sale agreement.
Mr Ouko added that the ini-
tial payment of Sh9.5 million
seems not to have been used
properly. This kicked o the
investigation and the matter
was later referred to the House
Committee.
The audit report also re-
vealed that revenue totalling
Sh23.4 million was not ac-
counted for, while sta and
councillors owed the council
Sh4.1 million in unsurrendered
imprests.
But in their defence, the
former ocials said they sold
the houses because they were
not generating enough income.
They insisted that the deal was
authorised by the minister.

Small-scale importers
reject new tax on rice
BY GITONGA MARETE
@GitongaMarete
gmarete@ke.nationmedia.com
R
ice importers are opposed to
the new duty imposed on the
commodity, fearing that it will
raise retail costs.
They say the tax will favour large-
scale importers, encourage unfair
trade practices and hurt small and
medium traders.
The traders note that rice is a sta-
ple food for some communities and a
steep rise in prices will push it beyond
their reach.
There are three grades of rice im-
ported in Kenya from Pakistan. The
most aected, according to the im-
porters, is the third grade consumed
by low income earners.
The East African Community
(EAC) in a gazette notice published
on June 20, said import duty for rice
would be charged at 35 per cent or
Prices will shoot up
and the low income
earners will be hard
hit, say traders
US$200 (Sh17,200) per tonne.
Duty for the lowest grade is
US$123 (Sh10, 578) per tonne
while that of grade one is US$333
or Sh28,638.
The traders spoke at a meet-
ing called by Kenya International
Freight and Warehousing Associa-
tion (Kifwa).
Clearing agents told the meeting
that their clients were complaining
that the new tax regime was in the
interest of a clique of traders.
Kifwa chief executive ocer Dennis
Ombok said besides being discrimina-
tory, the duty was an impediment to
trade in the region.
Unfair competition
Importation of rice will become a
preserve for those with bigger capital.
There is danger of small traders being
edged out of business.
Competition will be unfair as the
duty rate imposed will be the same,
regardless of the grade of rice one has
imported, Mr Ombok said.
Annual rice production in Kenya
stands at between 35,000 and 50,000
tonnes, while consumption is esti-
mated at over 200,000 tonnes.
Mr Ombok said low income earn-
ers would be the hardest hit by the
tax increase.

Leaders want Mara deal stopped
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Three politicians want a company
stopped from collecting fees at the
Maasai Mara game reserve.
Former Cabinet minister William
ole Ntimama, Mr Ledama ole Kina
and Mr Joseph ole Karia have sued
Narok Governor Samuel Tunai and
his government over a decision to
contract Kenya Airports Parking
Services to collect revenue at the
world-famous tourist site.
The deal grants authority to
KAPS (K) to collect entry charges
at the game reserve and other
revenues for facilities within the
natural resource.
The private company is also
charged with collecting all parking
fees in Narok County and other
levies taxed by the county govern-
ment.
In his adavit, Mr Ntimama said
the deal was mysterious as it was
done without public participation or
approval by the County Assembly.
The politician noted that 300 em-
ployees of the county government
who worked as revenue collection
ocers had been sacked since the
project was commissioned in Febru-
ary this year.
Job losses
Another 250 are likely to be ter-
minated once KAPS (K) takes over
full control of the revenue collection
operations, said Mr Ntimama.
The county government has de-
fended itself against the accusations
levelled by Ntimama, noting that it
advertised the tender and evaluated
all bidders.
The case will be heard on Octo-
ber 6.

Governors resolve to end
water supply wrangles
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kwale and Mombasa governors have
agreed to jointly address water supply
problems facing their regions.
They will set up a committee to
look into grievances that Mombasa
was getting a bigger share of water
supplied from Kwale.
Kwales Salim Mvurya noted that
water was a national resource which
must benet all people.
As governors, we are better placed
to resolve all the mistakes committed
in the past. Even if water is a national
resource, priority has to be given to
those who live at its source, he said
at Marere water works.
Mombasas Hassan Joho said
leaders in the two counties had to
take a common ground and help
each other in regard to the sharing
of resources.
Time has come for us to work
together as Coast leaders and think
of how we can improve our economy
together, he said.
Boost supply
French ambassador Remi Mare-
chaux, who commissioned the Marere
headworks, said that the project was
nanced by the French Development
Agency at a cost of Sh1.2 billion.
It will boost water supply by 15 per
cent, with Mombasa getting 8 million
cubic metres and Kwale 3.5 million
cubic metres.

Pay tea mini-bonuses,
minister tells factories
BY ANITA CHEPKOECH

AND TIMOTHY KEMEI
timothykemei@gmail.com
A
griculture Cabinet Sec-
retary Felix Koskei has
cautioned South Rift
tea factories against defy-
ing a presidential order to
pay farmers their half-year
bonuses.
Presidential directives
must be respected. If there
are factories that are un-
able to pay, let them tell
us. They should speak out
because silence is not the
answer, Mr Koskei said at
the weekend.
President Kenyatta gave the
directive after a crisis meeting
with stakeholders in the tea
sector a few weeks ago. He
told factories to pay Sh14 per
kilogramme.
The minister, who was
speaking in Kericho, said
that while other regions had
complied, eight factories in
the South Rift were yet to
do so.
He said although he held
talks with tea agencies, the
buck stops with the factories
board of directors, which
must pass the nal resolu-
tion on whether to pay.
Mr Koskei advised farmers
who have not been paid up to
demand for their rights, add-
ing that if the board members
remained adamant, then they
should be voted out.
Kenya Union of Small Scale
Tea Owners (Kussto) Rift Val-
ley chairman Joel Chepkwony
and a Kericho farmer William
Kettienya had appealed to the
President and the Cabinet
Secretary to intervene.
The two accused Kenya Tea
Development Agency (KTDA)
of making selective pay-
ments after it emerged that
some farmers in other regions
had received billions of shil-
lings in mini-bonuses.
This discrimination must
come to end. We have not
been given a proper expla-
nation by KTDA. Farmers
are demanding the immedi-
ate payment of their money,
said Mr Kettienya.
Mr Chepkwony claimed
some KTDA directors had
told farmers in Kericho to
wait for their full annual
bonus in August on grounds
that some factories were not
in a position to pay for the
half-year bonuses.
Mr Koskei said the Tea Re-
search Foundation had been
asked to develop high paying
varieties of tea to boost farm-
ers earnings.

Ministers push
for tougher
laws to save
Lake Victoria
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

Regional Environment min-
isters yesterday vowed to push
for tougher laws to protect Lake
Victoria.
They said poor implementation
of existing laws was the cause of
continued suering among com-
munities living around the lake.
The East Africa Community
Council of Environment Ministers
said the lake would be the leading
source of revenue for East African
countries if proper measures were
taken to utilise the resource.
The ministers, who were attend-
ing a convention in Kisumu, urged
individual countries to ensure exist-
ing laws were enforced before any
new ones came into eect.
Kenyas Cabinet Secretary for
Environment, Water and Natural
resources Judi Wakhungu said
population pressure, pollution, high
levels of poverty and diseases also
needed to be addressed.
Access to clean water
The Lake Basin is endowed with
numerous resources that have not
been fully exploited because e-
cient control systems have eluded
the states that border Lake Victo-
ria, she said.
She said it was sad that areas
within the lake basin did not
have access to clean water and
had not beneted from its unique
resources.
The Kenyan Government is com-
mitted to harness these resources
for equitable sharing among resi-
dents. This will include a revamped
transport network in Lake Victoria
and cleaner beaches for tourism
development, she said.
Prof Wakhungu said Kenya had
stepped up the ght against the
hyacinth, reduction of lake ac-
cidents and eecting anti-water
pollution laws.
We are in the last stages of
acquiring a hyacinth harvester to
speed up mechanical removal of
the weed, she said.
Poor water quality
Her Ugandan counterpart, Prof
Ephraim Kamuntu, said his govern-
ment was alarmed by the poor water
quality as a result of pollution.
The water has turned green
due to heavy pollutants. Countries
sharing these waters must ensure
cleaning processes are heightened
to save aquatic life, he said.
The minister said the countries
that beneted from Lake Victoria
must join hands in ensuring chal-
lenges posed by climate change are
addressed.
The minister said political unity
was necessary if the legal measures
that the meeting sought are to be
eected.
Kisumu Governor Jacktone
Ranguma urged the government
to speed up the replacement of the
Mbita Causeway with a bridge to
allow proper water circulation.
He said transport in Lake Vic-
toria needed to be revamped for
East Africa Community residents
to have easy means of trade and
communication.

Garissa > Residents cautioned against accommodating strangers
two Kenyans were arrested in the last
two days in an intensied operation
to ush out criminals.
He said there was credible informa-
tion linking the ve to a wave killings
in the last two months.
The Ethiopians are from the bor-
der near Somali and the Kenyans - a
taxi driver and a landlord - are ac-
complices, Mr Yego said.
The CID boss said the landlord
gave accommodation to the suspects
instead of reporting them to security
agencies, while the taxi driver is re-
ported to have ferried them after
committing crimes.
Investigators were tipped o by an-
other suspect arrested on Wednesday
last week by the public and handed
over to the police after killing a busi-
nessman near Gulled Hotel.
Mr Yego said police had found vital
documents, including an Ethiopian
passport and communication tracks,
that indicate that the hitmen sneaked
into the country through Moyale and
Mandera.
Dont accommodate strangers
The ocer said the passport of a
man alleged to have killed the busi-
nessman shows he got into Kenya
through Moyale before heading to
Nairobi to meet accomplices and
thereafter heading to Garissa.
Mr Yego cautioned residents
against accommodating strangers
just because they share a clan.

Governor to build Sh200m slaughterhouse
BY JAMES NGUNJIRI
@mjngunjiri
ngunjirij@ke.nationmedia.com
Marsabit County Governor Ukur Ya-
tani will build a Sh200 million abattoir
to boost the livestock sector.
Yesterday, Dr Yatani disclosed that
his government would launch major
projects aimed at uplifting living stand-
ards of residents.
Last year, the focus was
rehabilitation of essen-
tial services like water,
roads, health and other
basic facilities.
Marsabit County is
a livestock producing
county. Over 90 per
cent of the economy
depends on livestock. A
modern facility will help us
control price, hygiene
and be in a position
to export meat
directly from
Marsabit, said Dr Yatani.
He said the objective of the
county was to be a supplier of
quality meat to other parts of
the country and international
markets.
Already, we have done a
survey that shows there is de-
mand for meat in countries like
Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Libya
and Egypt, said the
governor.
Some
of the
livestock
reared
in Marsabit country is bought by Ethio-
pian traders who then sell it in Djibouti,
Libya, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, noted
the governor.
Two weeks ago, he was in Turkey
to study how that country manages
its livestock production supply chain
system. He said during the tour he and
his entourage identied the abattoirs,
how they are constructed and learnt
invaluable lessons on how to run them.
The governor also recently led a
delegation of his top county ocials on
a tour of Middle East and attended an
annual investors meeting in the United
Arab Emirates (UAE).
The ocers conducted a market
analysis on demand for meat and its
products and met investors interested
in the sector. This included exporters
of livestock products from Africa to the
Middle East.
The Dubai investors promised to
set up an abattoir in Marsabit, and we
even have a design of the kind of struc-
ture they are interested in. The design
meets even the European Union (EU)
standards, said Dr Yatani.
A team of potential investors from
Middle East later visited Marsabit
County to follow-up on the same. Dur-
ing their visit, the team had discussions
with various agriculture and livestock
development stakeholders.
Senior ocers from the county
accompanied the team of potential
investors on a eld visit to identify the
possible sites to set up an abattoir and
the livestock breeding ground.
County ocials said further discus-
sions to bring on-board all the relevant
stakeholders, communities and area
leaders were in progress.
Livestock keeping is the main eco-
nomic activity in the county.
There are 1,143,480 goats, 424,600
head of cattle and 960,000 sheep.
Other livestock are camels (203,320)
and donkeys (63,860). There are also
chicken.
The main livestock products are
milk, beef, mutton and camel meat.

N
igerias literary icon Wole
Soyinka turned 80 today, with
friends and foes alike paying
tribute to the rst African to win the
Nobel literature prize.
Dozens of literary and artistic
events have been staged across the
country over 80 days leading up to
the birthday of the poet, novelist,
playwright and social activist, whose
works often satirised Nigerias soci-
ety and harshly criticised corrupt and
inept leaders.
But such is Soyinkas popularity
and stature that many of the targets
of his criticism put aside past dier-
ences to honour the man who, with his
trademark white afro and matching
bushy goatee, is a beloved gure in
Africas most populous nation.
President Goodluck Jonathan
praised his ardent critic in a state-
ment on Saturday, hailing Soyinkas
life-long dedication and indefatigable
commitment to using his acclaimed
genius and talents, not only in the
service of the arts, but also for the
promotion of democracy, good gov-
ernance and respect for human rights
in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.
Former dictator General Yakubu
Gowon, who jailed Soyinka for some
two years during Nigerias 1967-70
civil war, paid respect by attending
a lecture in Soyinkas hometown of
Abeokuta on Friday.
Soyinka, who looks several decades
younger than his age, sprang to his
feet and warmly embraced his former
jailer as soon as he entered the lec-
ture hall, sparking applause from the
audience.
I have come to Abeokuta for the
sake of this particular man, to honour
him, said Mr Gowon, who imprisoned
the writer on suspicion of support
for his rival in the 1967 stando that
eventually led Nigeria to a 30-month
civil war in which an estimated one
million people died, mostly of disease
and starvation.
The birthday events honouring
Soyinka are due to culminate on
Monday with a visit to his secluded
forest residence in Abeokuta, the capi-
tal of southwestern Ogun State, and a
presentation of one of his plays.
Born into an Anglican family on
July 13, 1934, in Abeokuta, Soyinka
cut his literary teeth in the 1950s at
the University of Ibadan, Nigerias
premier university, where he studied
English literature.
He also studied literature at the
University of Leeds.
The poet, novelist and playwright
has around 30 published works to his
name, most of which satirise Nigerian
society and which have made him a
darling of the critics.
Soyinka, a literary giant, is Gods
gift to Nigeria in particular, Africa
and the world at large. His style is
inimitable, Dare Ademola, a literary
critic, told AFP.
Chima Anyadike, head of the
English department at the Obafemi
Awolowo University where Soyinka
last taught in Nigeria, said: Soyinka
is a great writer of his time.
In announcing his Nobel in 1986,
the Swedish Academy praised Soyinka
for your versatile writings (in which)
you have been able to synthesise a
very rich heritage from your own
country, ancient myths and old
traditions, with literary legacies and
traditions of European culture.
It also hailed him for your own
genuine and impressive creativity as
an artist, a master of language, and
your commitment as a dramatist and
writer of poetry and prose to problems
of general and deep signicance for
man, modern or ancient.
A harsh critic of military, corrupt
or inept governments, Soyinka ed
Nigeria during the regime of General
Sani Abacha in the 1990s when the
government hounded critics including
journalists and academics.
A hunter, connoisseur of wines
and notoriously private, Soyinka
hasnt let his advanced age dull his
social activism. In January 2012, he
joined activists in street protests
against President Jonathan after the
government hiked the pump price of
fuel. (AFP)

LONDON, Sunday
S
outh Africas Anglican
archbishop emeritus
Desmond Tutu today
said he supported assisted
dying for the terminally ill, the
day after the Churchs former
leader backed a bill to legalise
it in Britain.
But the Church remains
ocially opposed to the legisla-
tion and has called for a public
inquiry into the issue.
Writing in Britains Observer
newspaper, Tutu explained that
he had been convinced by the
case of Craig Schonegevel, a
28-year-old South African who
suered from neurobromato-
sis and ended up killing himself
because doctors were unable to
end his life.
Some people opine that
with good palliative care there
is no need for assisted dying,
no need for people to request
to be legally given a lethal dose
of medication, said the Nobel
Peace laureate.
That was not the case for
Craig Schonegevel. Others
assert their right to autonomy
and consciousness - why exit in
the fog of sedation when theres
the alternative of being alert
and truly present with loved
ones?
He revealed that he had
asked his family not to prolong
his life articially, and slammed
the treatment of former presi-
dent Nelson Mandela during
his nal days.
What was done to Madiba
was disgraceful, he wrote.
You could see that Madiba
was not fully there. My friend
was no longer himself. It
was an affront to Madibas
dignity.
Former archbishop of
Canterbury George Carey on
Saturday said he had changed
his mind and would support
a British bill to allow assisted
suicide in certain cases.
The current Archbishop of
Canterbury Justin Welby has
called the bill mistaken and
dangerous.
But Carey, who now sits in
the House of Lords parlia-
ments upper chamber after
leaving oce as the spiritual
leader of the worlds Angli-
cans in 2002, told the Daily
Mail that he had dropped his
long-standing opposition.
The fact is Ive changed my
mind, he wrote in a piece for
the British newspaper.
The old philosophical cer-
tainties have collapsed in the
face of the reality of needless
suering, he explained.
The former cleric, 78, said he
would support the bill, brought
by Lord Charles Falconer,
which would allow mentally-ca-
pable adults to request help to
die if they were suering from
a terminal illness and had less
than six months to live.
It is due to be debated in the
House of Lords next week.
On Tutus comments, Fal-
coner told the Observer he
was really glad that someone
of his stature is taking part in
this important debate.
I very much hope that it will
indicate that religion is not a
bar to supporting this bill, he
added. (AFP)

T
he current outbreak of Ebola
virus now ravaging three
West African nations illus-
trates how African nations lack the
capacity in dealing with a stealth
and fast killer disease.
Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra
Leone failed to borrow from mili-
tary phraseology, When you hear
a shot, counter-attack. There was
precious little to attack with.
An Ebola strain, Zaire, claimed
the rst victim in Guinea in Feb-
ruary. It moved to Liberia and by
mid-April in Sierra Leone.
In fairness, the usual in-
ternational disease outbreak
fire-fightersDoctors Without
Borders, the US Centers for Dis-
ease Control and the UN World
Health Organizationquickly
responded.
When presidents of Mano River
Union: Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra
Leone, with Ghanas foreign min-
ister in attendance, met on May
3, in Conakry, subsiding numbers
of suspected victims, especially in
Guinea, led them to issue an op-
timistic communiqu.
It hailed the eorts of each
member state and, in particularly
Guinea, to contain the spread of
the Ebola epidemic and to stress
the need to continue medical
monitoring at the borders, in
order to eradicate this scourge
in the sub-region. It was most
premature.
On July 2-3, WHO convened
a summit of health ministers in
Accra, Ghanas capital. It brought
together health ministers from the
Democratic Republic of Congo,
Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-
Bissau, Cote dIvoire, Liberia,
Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone and
Ebola experts. Ugandan repre-
sentatives attended.
This meeting should have taken
place immediately Guinea heard
the rst shot. Its recommenda-
tions and plan of action explain
why.
Anyway, so far WHO reports
virus infections have hit the 888th
mark and claimed 538 lives. Its the
worst recorded Ebola outbreak.
The Doctors Without Borders
said the outbreak was out of
control, The Telegraph re-
ported. Worse, the newspaper
said, 1,500 people who had been
in contact with victims remained
at large, making more infections
possible.
Virological details aside, the
virus in question is transmitted
from animals to humans and hu-
mans to humans through contact
with bodily uids.
Symptoms arent anything to
prompt a dash to a doctor; a search
for an aspirin, maybe. Generally,
after ve days, the horror begins:
vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, body
rashes internal haemorrhaging
and, in severe cases, bleeding
from the mouth, nose, ears and
rectum. Up to 90 per cent of the
victims die. Vaccine and cure dont
exist. Hygienic observation and
intensive care are all. They are
scarce in the continent.
Although the current outbreak is
the rst in West Africa, subtypes
of the Ebola virus have hit several
African nations, beginning with
Zaire, now the DRC, in 1976. Since
then, theyve hit, in some cases
severally, Uganda, Cote dIvoire,
Sudan and, Gabon.
Simply put, Ebola virus strains
remain alive and will strike fast,
similarly kill, and hibernate. Con-
ditions under which the Ebola
viruses thrived, beginning with
poverty and ignorance, still exists.
A communiqu the Accra summit
issued illustrates the challenges
and gaps that exist in controlling
the outbreak.
They include coordination of
the outbreak, nancing, communi-
cation, cross border collaboration,
logistics, case management, infec-
tion control, surveillance, contact
tracing, community participation
and research.
A WHO Sub-Regional centre
in Conakry is to be established
in Conakry to deal with the
shortcomings. It should be con-
tinental, to stop being caught
napping saga.

plea for Sata
health probe

A court has refused to

activist who was seeking to
compel government to establish
a medical board to ascertain the
tness of Zambias President
Michael Sata, reported local

High Court Judge-in-charge,
Isaac Chali said the application
by Mr Brebner Changala lacked
merit and should be dismissed
on grounds that it was frivolous
and vexatious,reported state
daily The Times of Zambia.
I have studied the evidence
on record and I must say that
this application is accordingly
dismissed as it is frivolous,
vexatious and hopeless, it does
not require further inquiry at
the substantive inquiry, Mr
Justice Chali said as quoted
by the newspaper.

GAZA CITY, Sunday
I
sraeli strikes on Gaza killed
a teenager and a woman
today, medics said, raising
the overall death toll to 166
as the punishing air campaign
entered its sixth day.
One strike on the northern
town of Jabaliya struck a
house, killing a 14-year-old
boy, emergency services
spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra
said.
Shortly afterwards, another
strike killed a woman in the
Maghazi refugee camp in
central Gaza, he said.
A man was killed in a raid
on Beit Hanun in northern
Gaza, where the Israeli army
has warned it will sharply
escalate its oensive and had
urged residents to ee.
Elsewhere another person
succumbed to injuries from
an earlier strike, Qudra said,
giving an overall toll of 166
dead. More than 1,000 people
have been wounded.
Witnesses in the southern
city of Rafah also reported
seeing gunmen killing a man
in the middle of the street in
what appeared to be the execu-
tion of someone suspected of
collaborating with Israel.
There was no immediate
claim of responsibility from
any of Gazas armed factions.
Saturday was the bloodiest
day by far of the operation,
with 56 people killed.
The deadliest strike was in
Gaza City just before midnight
in the eastern Tuah district
where 18 people were killed in
strikes that hit the house of
Hamas police chief Tayseer al-
Batsh and a mosque, medics
said. Batsh survived but was
reportedly in critical condi-
tion, with around 50 people
wounded in the strikes.
Israel began Operation
Protective Edge before dawn
on Tuesday in an attempt to
halt cross-border rocket re
by militant groups.
Since then, approximately
660 rockets have hit Israel,
while another 173 were inter-
cepted by the Iron Dome air
defence system, the army said.
On Sunday, 30 rockets struck
Israel, while another ve were
shot down, a spokeswoman
said. (AFP)

Wounded: No Israelis have

Targets: By Sunday morn-
ing, the Israeli military said
it had struck 1,320 terror
targets across Gaza, in-
cluding 735 rocket launch-
ers, 64 training bases and
militant compounds, and
32 Hamas leadership facili-

LOS ANGELES, Sunday
Three people were killed and two
wounded in a late Saturday shooting
in a working class neighbourhood
in Pasadena, California, local of-
cials said.
Pasadena Police Chief Phillip
Sanchez told reporters that the
shooter and his targets appeared
to have a landlord-tenant relation-
ship, but did not elaborate.
One of those killed was a neighbor
who apparently showed up to help.
After the fatal shootings the 35-year-
old male gunman barricaded himself
in a nearby house and red again
when a police ocer arrived to help
one of the victims, Sanchez said.
The shooter then got on the
phone, called the 911 emergency
number and admitted to his crime.
A hostage negotiator was quickly
brought in and the shooter was
talked into surrendering, the Los
Angeles Times reported.
The shooter had three weapons,
but mainly used a semi-automatic
rie, Mr Sanchez said. (AFP)

Iraq MPs fail again to elect premier
BAGHDAD, Sunday
Iraqs fractious parliament met today and
again failed to make any progress toward form-
ing a new government, even as militants gained
ground north of Baghdad in a renewed drive.
World powers and Iraqs top Shiite cleric,
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, have been
piling pressure on MPs to put aside their
dierences, with the country facing a major ji-
hadist-led onslaught that has overrun chunks
of ve provinces.
But no type of agreement was reached... be-
tween the various blocs at Sundays session,
which was adjourned to Tuesday, acting parlia-
ment speaker Mahdi Hafez announced.
The latest stalemate came despite the an-
nouncement late Saturday of an agreement
among Sunni Arab lawmakers on a candidate for
speaker, a post traditionally held by the minority
group that must be lled before the government
formation process can go ahead. (AFP)

KABUL, Sunday
A
fghanistans two
presidential rivals have
agreed to a historic deal
to audit all eight million votes
cast in the disputed election
after two days of intense
shuttle diplomacy by top US
diplomat John Kerry.
An audible gasp rippled
through a packed press con-
ference held Saturday at the
UN headquarters in Kabul as
Mr Kerry made the surprise
announcement after hours
of waiting, saying that vote-
checking would begin within
the next 24 hours.
Both candidates have vowed
to stand by the results of the
audit, with the winner to be
declared the countrys next
president, who will immedi-
ately begin work to form a
national unity government.
The details of that are yet to
be worked out.
The rst ballots to be audited
will be those gathered already
in Kabul, while ballot boxes
from all the countrys prov-
inces will be brought under
high security to the Afghan
capital by Nato and Afghan
security forces and kept under
tight guard.
Mr Ghani, Mr Abdullah and
Mr Kerry joined hands at the
end of the news conference and
raised them in triumph after se-
curing the breakthrough, which
follows a bitter stando that
raised fears of fresh violence
along ethnic lines.
The deadlock over the run-
o vote to choose a successor
to outgoing President Hamid
Karzai plunged Afghanistan
into political crisis and dented
US hopes of a smooth transfer
of power as Washington seeks
to withdraw all its troops by
late 2016.
Preliminary results of the
second-round vote released on
Monday put Ghani in the lead,
but Abdullah who has already
once lost a presidential bid in
controversial circumstances
declared himself the true
winner, saying massive fraud
robbed him of victory.
Both candidates have com-
mitted to participate in and
abide by the results of the
largest, most comprehensive
possible audit.
Every single ballot that
was cast will be audited, 100
percent, Kerry told the news
conference, which had been
delayed by six hours amid
last-minute shuttle diplomacy.

pointment of Karen Kandie and
Laila Macharia to the tribunal
on Friday, giving it the quorum
required to hear and determine
cases.
The Cabinet Secretary of the
National Treasury appoints Karen
N. Kandie and Laila Macharia to
be members of the Capital Markets
Tribunal, for a period of three (3)
years, with effect from June 3,
2014, a notice in the Kenya Ga-
zette reads.
Lack of a quorum in the capital
markets tribunal has delayed the
hearing of Centums application
and dragged the transaction that
was initially set to be concluded
by June.
High Court judge Weldon Korir
in June directed that the transac-
tion be suspended in the interest of
justice until Centums application
is heard and determined.
In the case, Centum is chal-
lenging the validity of an offer
by British rm Rea Trading for
the 43 per cent of REA Vipingo
it doesnt already own. Centum
has also submitted its bid for the
Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed
agricultural rm.
In its submissions, Centum said
that REA Tradings oer was in
violation of the domestic takeover
regulations under the Companies
Act since it depended on conditions
that are yet to be fullled.
Rea Trading was oering Rea
Vipingo shareholders Sh70 for
every share held in the company,
with a promise that those who ac-
cepted the oer would be entitled
to a pro-rata share of dividends
or distributions of proceeds from
potential future sale of land for
as much as Sh15 per share.
Centum was oering Sh75 for
every share held in the sisal rm.
Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal
dismissed with costs an applica-
tion by Vania Investment Pool to
overturn a ruling of the High Court
on April 17 that disqualied it from
the takeover bid.
Vania Investment Pool, a Kenyan
company, was disqualied by the
capital markets regulator for fail-
ing to meet the set February 28
deadline.
REA Vipingo runs two sisal
estates in Kenya, with an annual
production capacity of about
12,000 tonnes. It also operates
three estates in Tanzania, produc-
ing more than 7,500 tonnes a year.
The company was suspended from
trading on the NSE after REA Trad-
ing made a cash oer to acquire it
in November.

Railways group plans Sh8.5bn upgrade
BY NATION REPORTER
Rift Valley Railways plans to spend
$100 million (about Sh8.5 billion) this
year, some of which will be used to add
1,400 wagons to the existing eet.
The Kenya-Uganda railway conces-
sionaire announced the planned capital
expenditure last week, alongside a Sh6
billion loan from its nanciers that will
be used to upgrade the railway infra-
structure.
Total capex spending this year will
exceed $100 million. We have so far
invested $120 million in revitalising
the railway, surpassing the investment
requirement threefold, only midway
through the investment period, said
RVRs chief executive ocer Darlan
De David.
In May, Kenya and Uganda issued
fresh terms to RVR requiring the rail-
way operator to increase cargo haulage
and invest more in upgrade of the ex-
isting Kenya-Uganda line.
RVR is expected to meet the states
demands in a period of nine months,
up to February next year.
Not met expectations
The fresh terms, according to a joint
communiqu from both governments,
were adopted because RVR has not
met the expectations.
While the performance trend since
April 1 has improved, the same has not
met the expectations of both govern-
ments, read the joint communiqu.
The states also directed that Kenya
Railways and Uganda Railways initiate
monitoring of RVR on quarterly basis
to track its progress towards meeting
the set targets.
Under the new terms, the rm is
expected to increase cargo haulage to
above 1.6 million tonnes.
Two months ago, RVR entered into
a partnership with Vivo Energy for
transport of the oil marketers diesel
products from Mombasa to Nairobi,
a deal which is meant to increase its
cargo haulage volumes. Mr David said
the rm is in talks with other oil mar-
keters for similar partnerships that are
hoped to extend to Uganda.
The company is set to purchase 20
trains this year from US conglomerate
General Electric while an additional
10 will be rehabilitated at the rms
workshops.
Five Kenyan
rms set for
Lagos IT race
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Five startups are among 40
technology brains that will repre-
sent Kenya in this years edition of
Demo Africa in Lagos, Nigeria.
The ve were chosen from a
competitive list of 240 African
applicants who made it to the
nal stage of judgment.
Kenya emerged second after
Nigeria, which had 14 representa-
tives. Ghana and Egypt followed,
respectively, while Tanzania and
Uganda will each have two repre-
sentatives at the competition.
Mr Mbugua Njihia, Demo Africa
director, said the conference would
kick o on September 22 and end
on September 26. It will be held
in Lagos for the rst time since
its inception in 2012.
The Kenyan startups that will
be vetted among 40 other Afri-
can rms are SokoNect, ASiM,
Valuraha Group, Chura and Pearl
Dream Inc, said Mr Njihia.
They will launch their products
before a panel of vice chancellors,
investors, technology acquisition
specialists, IT buyers and media
from across the globe, he said.
He added that this years fete
had a high number of entries, with
entrepreneurs having risen above
the fear of venturing into new sec-
tors. Last years conference was
held in Kenya. It attracted over
Sh1.7 billion funding for startups,
which was much higher than the
2012 funding at Sh680 million.

A
total of 42 rms have
expressed interest in a
public tender to draw
designs for the planned
crude oil pipeline to connect
Turkana oil elds with those
in Hoima, Uganda, to the
Lamu Port.
This follows discovery of
commercial quantities of oil
in the region, spurring private
sector interest.
The Hoima-Lokichar-
Lamu crude oil pipeline, a
joint project between Kenya,
Uganda and Rwanda, and later
South Sudan, is expected to
be completed in 2018.
In May, the three govern-
ments signed an agreement
to seek a lead consultant for
the feasibility study and pre-
liminary engineering designs
of the crude oil pipeline.
The number of firms is
expected to go up. Energy
Principal Secretary Joseph
Njoroge said more rms had
requested time until July 25
to prepare their bids.
He spoke at the weekend
as Uganda was expected to
submit comments on the
initial request for proposal
(RFP).
The Uganda team is here
to issue an addendum to the
memorandum of understand-
ing (MoU). We will issue an
addendum to the RFP by
today (Friday), said Mr
Njoroge.
Lapsset programme
The proposed pipeline is
among key infrastructure
projects under the Lapsset
programme.
It is meant to transport
crude oil from Lokichar to
a proposed renery in Lamu
once production starts, and
onwards to the market.
Each of the countries will
determine its nancing ar-
rangement by January next
year, paving the way for the
projects construction that is
being speeded up to support
movement of the resource.
There has been heightened
activity in the oil sector and
new opportunities for locals
to benet since the contrac-
tor is required to partner with
Kenyan rms, according to a
recent Treasury circular.
We are expediting it as an
emergency project. We want
to realise oil revenues as fast
as possible, said Mr Njoroge
in an interview.
Last week, Kenya, Uganda
and Rwanda started the search
for a consultant to supervise
the crude oil conduit, days
after more discoveries of oil
and natural gas were made
in Lokichar, Lamu and Wajir
counties.
In the plan, a 1,300-km
crude oil pipeline and bre-
optic cable will be laid from
Hoima, while tank terminals
and pumping stations will be
built in Lamu and Lokichar.
It will be developed in two
parts from Hoima to the
Uganda-Kenya border, and
then on to Lamu.

1 year on.
Nothing can ever take away, The love a heart holds dear
Fond memories linger every day
Rememberence keeps u near
Looking back with memories
Upon the path u trod
We cherish the hours we had with you
And leave the rest to God.
Remembering you on this day , Comforted by so many
memories
In our hearts for those who loved you
You will always be there
You are not forgotten, Nor will you ever be
No one can feel your vacant place.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
Although death has separated us physically
Faith and love has bound us enternally
Though we cannot see you
We know you are here
Though we cannot touch you
We feel the warmth of your smile
A silent thought a secret tear
Keeps your memory ever dear
God took you home,it was his will
But in our hearts, you live still
Fondly remembered and missed by your Loving Wife Emily
Children, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, inlaws, Aunties, Uncles, Counsins and Friends (Pitstop & Teazers group)
Forever we will treasure your bubbly personality, witty sense of humor, unmatched generosity, and infectious
laughter..

COMMONWEALTH GAMES | Government had promised to pay out money by Friday but failed
Angry athletes threaten boycott
BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com
A
ll is not well in the Commonwealth
Games team training camp as non-
payment of allowances threatens
Kenyas participation.
Athletes have vowed not to travel to
Glasgow, Scotland, unless their overseas
allowances are paid in full.
Threats by the athletes come after a
similar disquiet by judo, Kenya Sevens
rugby and shooting teams as they ew
out yesterday without their allowances.
The Government had promised to pay
half of the teams overseas allowances in
cash by Friday last week but deferred the
payments to Saturday. The promise by
Sports Commissioner Gordon Oluoch
didnt materialise after the Government
failed to secure release of funds in foreign
currency from the bank on time.
Team Kenya executive officer James
Chacha said the cash will be delivered ei-
ther today or tomorrow but the athletics
team is reading mischief in all this.
Senior athletes in the team, who sought
anonymity, said the Government had not
lived up to its promise to reward the teams
from the World Cross Country Champion-
ships in Poland and World Championships
in Moscow last year. The Government even
promised to refund the money we used for
transport when we returned the national
ag at State House but we have never seen
a penny, charged on of the athletes.
We shall not board that plane without
our allowances. Some of us have families
and we want to leave something behind
Runners say they will not
travel to Scotland unless
their allowances are paid
CHRIS OMOLLO | NATION
National cycling team members train at the Kasarani Stadium on July 1 ahead of
the 2014 Commonwealth Games slated for Glasgow, Scotland, starting July 23.
The athletics team yesterday threatened to boycott the Games over allowances.
explained the angry athlete.
The second batch is expected to
leave the country tomorrow followed
by the last on Thursday for the Games
starting July 23 to August 3.
The 195 athletes will each receive
US$ 6,000 (Sh522,000) for the 24
days they will be in Glasgow.
Team Kenya captain Ezekiel Kemboi
had on Tuesday reminded sports cabi-
net secretary Hassan Wario about the
pending cash reward from the govern-
ment when the minister handed over
the national ag to Team Kenya.
Kenya won ve gold, four silver
and three bronze medals from Mos-
cow Worlds. Gold medallist from the
World Championships and Com-
monwealth Games draws a reward
of Sh500,000 from the government.
Silver medallist get Sh300,000 while
bronze Sh200,000.
Each of the 195 athletes

Brazil 2014 Samba W rld Cup
Belo Horizonte
L
uiz Felipe Scolari may have been
the coach when Brazil won the
World Cup in 2002, but his name
will now forever be associated with fail-
ure and the worst result in the countrys
footballing history.
The 65-year-old knew he was putting
his legendary status on the line when
he agreed to replace the sacked Mano
Menezes in late 2012 and lead the Selecao
into the World Cup on home soil.
The players know they will have to
win the World Cup. We cant play a tour-
nament in Brazil and think that second
place will do, he said in an interview
with British newspaper The Guardian
late last year.
He exuded condence that Brazil could
go all the way right up until last Tues-
days shattering 7-1 semi-nal defeat at
the hands of Germany, a reverse that
broke numerous unwanted records.
More disappointment
The 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands
that followed in Saturdays third-
place play-o in Brasilia ensured
that the hosts campaign ended
in more disappointment.
But Scolari insists that the
Selecaos performance on home
soil should be viewed in a posi-
tive light, and claims that he
had no choice but to talk up his
teams chances going into the
competition.
I said in 2002 that if we n-
ished in the rst four we would
be satisfied - but that was in
Korea and Japan, he said. We
are in Brazil. If I said that this
time I would be nished before
I even started.
I see the positive side. Since
we were last champions in 2002,
this is the rst time we have n-
ished in the top four, he added,
while continuing to proclaim the
merits of his side, pointing above
all to their triumph in last years
Confederations Cup.
Having previously claimed
that his team could win the
World Cup, now he insists that
he has brought on a young team
that will stand Brazil in good
stead when the 2018 tourna-
ment comes around in Russia.
But the reality is that only
ve of this years squad - Oscar,
Paulinho, Willian, Bernard and
Neymar - will still be aged under
30 by then.
And Scolari will surely not be
there. His contract is now up,
but he has left a decision over

It is nothing to

Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil coach
Goalkeeper Julio Cesar admitted
on Saturday that his international
career is over after Brazils World
Cup campaign ended in disap-
pointment.
This is probably my last World
Cup. To play at the Copa America
in 2015, at the age of 35, would
be quite complicated, he said
after Brazils 3-0 defeat to the
Netherlands in the third-place
play-o in Brasilia. To go to
that Copa America without hav-
ing the 2018 World Cup in mind
would be selsh on my part.
Having been blamed for Brazils
2-1 defeat to Holland that saw
them exit the 2010 World Cup
at the quarter-nal stage, the
former Inter Milan shotstopper
was hailed as a hero after Brazil
beat Chile on penalties in the last
16 two weeks ago. But he could
do little to help his side in last
Tuesdays 7-1 semi-nal ham-
mering at the hands of Germany.
The time has come for other
goalkeepers and I think Brazil
has seven or eight who are quite
capable of pulling on the national
jersey, he said.

Skipper Silva
sorry for loss
Brasilia
Brazil captain Thiago Silva issued
an apology on behalf of his team
after their World Cup campaign
ended with a 3-0 defeat to the
Netherlands in Saturdays third-
place play-o in Brasilia.
It is a moment of great sadness,
because we tried everything and
didnt get the outcome we dreamed
of. It is dicult to go home and say
to your family: Sorry, I didnt man-
age it, he said after the defeat to
the Dutch, which came just four
days after their 7-1 demolition
at the hands of Germany in the
semi-nals.
Dicult time
It is dicult, because we have to
lift our heads and cool down a little.
Psychologically everyone is down,
but I think life has to go on. Life
does not end here.
Silva missed the Germany deba-
cle due to suspension but endured
a dicult return to the side at the
Mane Garrincha National Stadium,
conceding a penalty for a foul on
Arjen Robben inside two minutes.
He was fortunate not to be shown
a straight red card by the Algerian
referee, but saw Robin van Persie net
from the spot to set Holland on their
way to a convincing victory.
I can only apologise to the
people. The switch-off against
Germany really aggravated the
end of our World Cup. Todays
(Saturdays) defeat was denitely
a consequence of what happened
in the last match.
However, he added: There were
lots of positives, not everything was
a disaster. (AFP)
in charge at the Brazilian Football Con-
federation, current president Jose Maria
Marin and the future boss Marco Polo
Del Nero.
It has been suggested that they will ask
Scolari to remain in charge at least until
the end of the year to help Brazil prepare
for the 2015 Copa America, with Del Nero
this week telling newspaper Estado de
Sao Paulo: For me, he stays.
However, Scolaris position seems un-
tenable after the way they capitulated
against Germany and Holland. His
sides have in the past been based
on a solid defence, but Brazil n-
ish this World Cup having let in
14 goals, the most of any team
at the competition since Bel-
gium in 1986 and the most
ever by a host nation.
At the time of his ap-
pointment there was
something of a cla-
mour for Brazil to
turn to Pep Guar-
diola, who was a
free agent, but
the response to
Scolaris spec-
tacular failure
could be to

this time.

When I won the Con-
federations Cup were people saying

change things?
It is nothing to do with coaches,
or directors. Our team has had some
diculties. This group was very good
in the Confederations Cup and was
very good until the semi-nal, he
said.
Meanwhile, Brazilian President
Dilma Rousseff said the World
Cup has been a success but ac-
knowledged the host countrys
football team needs reform after
its humiliating elimination from
the tournament.
We were able to do the Cup even
though they said it would be chaos,
Rousse told foreign correspondents at
the presidential residence Friday night.
They said it would be horric.
The buildup to the tournament was
marked by delays in the construction
of stadiums while many public infra-
structure projects were scrapped.
Last year, the warmup Confederations
Cup was overshadowed by massive and
sometimes violent protests over the
record $11 billion spent on the World Cup,
with Brazilians demanding better schools,
hospitals and public transport.
But the World Cup took place without
major incidents or disruptions while pro-
tests drew small crowds. (AFP)

Brazil 2014 Samba W rld Cup
Goalkeepers shine brightest in Brazil
TIMELY SAVE | Even those who played just one minute of action were decisive as the Netherlands Krul against Costa Rica
Levante teammate Theofanis Gekas
to eliminate Greece.
The single most impressive goal-
keeping display of all, though, may
have come from Americas Tim
Howard against Belgium in the last
16.
Overnight sensation
Howard made 16 saves, a record for
any goalkeeper in a World Cup match
stretching back to 1966. The Ever-
ton goalkeeper became an overnight
sensation back in the States with the
hashtag ThingsTimHowardCould-
Save becoming a tending topic on
social media site Twitter, whilst he
also received a personal call of thanks
from US President Barack Obama.
Even goalkeepers that played just
one minute of action were decisive as
the Netherlands Tim Krul became one
of the most important substitutes of
the tournament when he was brought
on in the last minute of extra time
for sides penalty shootout with
Costa Rica.
Despite having a far from stellar
penalty saving record with club
side Newcastle United, Krul made
two ne stops to end the Central
Americans fairytale ride to the
last eight.
Just as every keeper can be a
hero, though, they can also be a
villain as Spanish captain Iker
Casillas found to his cost, mak-
ing a series of blunders as the
defending champions crashed
out in the rst round.
It was a similar story for
Russias Ivan Akinfeev as having
already dropped a clanger to allow
South Korea to open the scoring in his
sides rst match, he was at fault again
when Fabio Capellos men seemed on
course for the last 16 against Algeria.
Capello claimed Akinfeev had been
blinded by a laser pen as he got caught
under Yacine Brahimis cross allowing
Islam Slimani to equalise.
Unfortunately for the 2018 hosts
that was to be the only bright light
on Russias campaign as they were
sent packing with just two points to
their name. (AFP)

D
espite being a tournament
labelled as the return of at-
tack-minded football after
the caution shown in South Africa
four years ago, Brazil 2014 has been
a platform for the worlds best goal-
keepers to shine.
Yesterdays nal featured the widely
regarded best stopper in the world
in Germanys Manuel Neuer, whose
sweeper-keeper ability to rush from
his goal could lead to a revolution in
how the position is played.
However, even those less widely
recognised at club level have shone
in the bright lights of Brazil over the
past ve weeks.
Argentinas Sergio Romero made
just one league start for Monaco last
season, but became a national hero
when he saved penalties from Ron
Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder to send
his side into their rst World
Cup nal in 24 years.
Reliable ball
With more teams commit-
ted to attack the wide-open
nature of the tournament cer-
tainly gave those in the last
line of defence more chance to
shine. However, they have also
been aided by a reliable ball in
the Brazuca which hasnt dipped
and swerved to leave keepers be-
wildered like the Jabulani did four
years ago.
North American federation
CONCACAF enjoyed their best
ever showing at a final with
three teams reaching the last
16 in large part thanks to their
goalkeepers. Mexicos Guill-
ermo Ochoa somehow
kept Brazil at bay in a

earned himself a

Year Russia will
host the Fifa
World Cup.
Russia left this
years event
with two points
As Brazil look to the future
and plan for success at next
years Copa America, the 2016
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro
and the 2018 World Cup in
Russia, we look at ve players
who could have a key role.
Thiago Silva
The Brazil captain will turn 30 in
September, but he is an inspira-
tional gure. Absent from the 7-1
semi-nal mauling against Germany
due to suspension, his presence
was sorely missed. Silva will remain
the bedrock of the defence at next
years Copa America and could be a
candidate to be one of the overage
players at the Olympics, which is an
under-23 competition but an impor-
tant one for Brazil, who have never
won the gold medal.
The Paris Saint-Germain star will be
33 come the next World Cup but is
likely to remain part of the side until
after the tournament in Russia.
Marquinhos
Eyebrows were raised when PSG
signed Marquinhos, then aged just
19, from AS Roma for a reported
35 million euros ($59.9m, 27.8m)
last summer. He was rarely a rst-
choice at club level last season, but
still made 21 appearances in helping
PSG win the French title.
He will now have to compete with
compatriot David Luiz as well as
Silva for a starting berth with PSG
but his reputation is such he has
been strongly linked with a move to
Barcelona. Marquinhos was perhaps
unlucky to miss out on Scolaris
squad this year and will only be 24
come 2018.
Philippe Coutinho
A crafty attacking midelder with
an eye for goal, the 22-year-old
was unlucky not to make Scolaris
squad but whoever is in charge of
the side come next years Copa
America will surely not be able to
ignore him. The diminutive mid-
elder was part of the Brazil side
that won the 2009 South American
under-17 title and won his rst full
cap a year later, but he struggled
to etablish himself at Inter Milan.
However, he revealed the extent of
his promise in an exciting Liverpool
side that came close to winning the
Premier League title this year.
Lucas Moura
A winger with devastating pace
who was bought by PSG for more
than 40 million euros (31.8m,
$54.4m) from Sao Paulo in 2012,
Lucas was on Scolaris standby list
for the nals. He can be infuriat-
ingly inconsistent, but he will only
turn 22 in August and if he does
full his great potential he will be-
come a truly world-class performer,
whether playing through the middle
or out wide.
Neymar
He is already a talisman for Brazil,
and the fractured vertebrae suf-
fered in the quarter-nal win over
Colombia was a tremendous blow
to squad morale, playing a part in
their semi-nal capitulation against
Germany. Still just 22, Neymar is a
world-class forward now, but he is
not likely to reach the peak of his
powers until the 2018 tournament.

Hosts look to future
but drastic, sudden
change very unlikely

Brasilia
A
mid the calls for swingeing changes at all
levels of Brazilian football, the reality is
that Neymar and other members of the
squad that failed so spectacularly at the World
Cup will still have an international future.
And Brazil will not have long to wait for a shot
at redemption, with the Copa America in Chile
to come next year and the Olympics in Rio de
Janeiro in 2016 before the next World Cup in
Russia in 2018.
Since last Tuesdays record-breaking 7-1 semi-
nal defeat to Germany in Belo Horizonte, the
countrys President Dilma Rousse and Minister
of Sport Aldo Rebelo have led the calls for major
structural changes to avoid a repeat in future.
Romario, in the 1994 World Cup winning
Brazil side and now a politician, has called for
an inquest into what went wrong while also
insisting that most of the players involved
against Germany should never represent their
country again.
From a group of players that lose 7-1 and suf-
fer such embarrassment, normally 80 percent of
them should never wear the national team shirt
again, he said. Although they are not the only
guilty ones, they cant pull on the shirt again.
They will forever be scarred.
In contrast, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari claims
that 12, 13 or 14 members of what he calls a
young squad this year will still be around when
Brazil make a new attempt to win a sixth World
Cup in Russia.
Brazils average age is 28
With an average age of almost 28, this Brazil
squad can hardly be considered young but,
nevertheless, Scolari is probably not too far o
the mark. Indeed, the spine of the current side
may well remain unchanged, with Neymar, who
will be 26 in four years time, leading the attack
while captain Thiago Silva, who will be 33, could
have another World Cup in him.
The likes of David Luiz, Luiz Gustavo and
Oscar should survive too, and the initial changes
to the playing squad will probably be gradual,
regardless of who is in charge. This is the end
of the road at international level for goalkeeper
Julio Cesar, while right-back Daniel Alves and
much-maligned striker Fred, as well as fringe
players including Maxwell and Jo, will be pushed
out too.
But the Brazilian Football Confederation
must make changes at grassroots level while
also ensuring that the full national team remains
competitive going into the Copa America in Chile
in June next year.
Winning Olympic gold, something Brazil has
never done, at home in 2016 would go some
small way towards exorcising the ghost of this
years disaster.
Warm-up for Olympic games
However, that is an under-23 tournament with
room for just three overage players and captain
Silva believes it would be dangerous to use the
Copa America as a warm-up for Rio 2016.
The competition is important. There will be
Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil
and Chile, who will be at home, he said. That
shows how big the competition is and how much
it has grown.
It depends on your point of view, and that of
the coach, whether he wants to put out a team
thinking about the Olympics. But if that hap-
pened, a lot of people would say he went into it
knowing he was going to lose.
As Brazil look to bolster their squad in the
short-term, experienced defenders Joao Mi-
randa and Filipe Luis, who helped Atletico
Madrid reach this years Champions League
nal, could come back into the reckoning. And
younger names such as Paris Saint-Germain duo
Marquinhos and Lucas Moura and Liverpool at-
tacking midelder Philippe Coutinho may give
the squad a much-needed boost.
Either way, Brazil need look no further than
the Germans for inspiration as they turn to the
future. After all, Germanys superb team of today
was born at the 2006 World Cup. Then, as hosts,
they also suered an agonising defeat in the
semis, against Italy, before nishing third by
beating Scolaris Portugal side. (AFP)

B
razil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari
has to be sacked, the Brazilian
media said yesterday after the
national teams disastrous World Cup
campaign ended in a knock-out and
new humiliation.
O Estado de Sao Paulo newspapers
headline lamented the Melancholic
Goodbye, capturing the national mood
after Brazil lost 3-0 to the Netherlands
in Saturdays third-place playo.
The newspapers World Cup section
decried the new humiliation just days
after the 7-1 semi-nal defeat against
Germany, Brazils worst loss in its 100-
year footballing history.
With the headline Knockout, Folha
de Sao Paulos Cup page ran a picture of
Brazil defender David Luiz lying on the
pitch with his hands around his head.
Considered favorites for the title by
Felipao (Scolari), the team nish fourth
after losing again to a rst-rate rival; the
coach should not be kept at the helm,
Folha said.
Several newspapers also highlighted
the fact that goalkeeper Julio Cesar had
conceded 18 goals in 12 games over two
World Cups he had however been
hailed as a hero only a fortnight ago
for saving Brazil in the last 16 penalty
shootout win over Chile.
Despite the teams disastrous cam-
paign, Brazils football confederation
(CBF) have yet to decide on 65-year-old
Scolaris future.
Defensive woes
After Saturdays game, Scolari, who
coached the 2002 World Cup-winning
team, said it was up to CBF president
Jose Maria Marinto to decide whether
he stays on.
O Dia newspaper was clear about what
it wants: Felipao Out.
The newspapers sports section asked
Coach? What Coach? next to a picture
of Brazils injured star Neymar whisper-
ing instructions to captain Thiago Silva
during the game.
Yesterday the players on the sub-
stitutes bench appeared to be the ones
guiding the team, the daily said.
The sports daily Lance said CBFs
president and number two, Marco Polo
Del Nero, should both go too.
Lance columnist Luiz Fernando Gomes
concluded: Out Marin! Out Del Nero!
On Saturday, Scolari was hoping to
send an optimistic message to the teams
supporters in the third-place match but
their lifeless performance in a 3-0 de-
feat by the Netherlands did exactly the
opposite.
Brazils defensive woes manifested
themselves once again as they fell 2-0
behind in less than 20 minutes, but
their problems were evident all over
the eld.
Without the injured Neymar, their only
world-class player, Brazil were confused
in mideld and toothless in attack, lack-
ing any sort of spark or creativity.
Even taking into account the possibil-
ity that Brazil were still shell-shocked
after their 7-1 mauling by Germany on
Tuesday, it was an alarmingly lacklustre
display for a team that has always had
talent, whatever their tactics.
The meek manner in which they ca-
pitulated to a Dutch side that had failed
to score in their previous two matches,
including two periods of extra time, was
extraordinary given the rich history of
Brazilian football.
The defence once again cracked under
the slightest hint of pressure.
Central defender Thiago Silva, whose
return after suspension was meant to
stien the backline, gave away a pen-
alty and was booked after 90 seconds
for a pulling back Arjen Robben as he
sped towards goal, handing the Dutch
an early lead.
Another disaster followed when David
Luizs attempted to head the ball clear
but it feel straight to Daley Blind who
red into the top corner.
There was a general feeling of appre-
hension every time Luiz was on the ball
and his forays upeld, often swashbuck-
ling earlier in the competition, lacked any
sort of conviction.
Brazilian fans may have feared that
another thrashing was on the way and,
although that never materialised, there
was a complete lack of conviction in
their play.
Right back Maicon was a pale shadow
of the player who, at his peak, would
charge to the byline with tremendous
power and pace.
Maxwell, who replaced Marcelo at left
back, managed to give the team a little
more stability and discipline but was
negligible as an attacking force.
Of the five midfielders, Oscar and
Willian showed ashes of creativity but
Ramires, Paulinho and Luiz Gustavo pro-
duced, at best, unproductive exchanges
of passes.
Rather than the ve-times world cham-
pions, it appeared to be the mideld of a
middle-ranking European team.
Oscar, however, was always looking for
the ball and testing the Dutch defenders
with probing runs, and he seems to be the
one Brazilian player whose international
future is guaranteed.
The biggest disappointment was in
attack where Jo, the lone striker, proved
just as ineective as Fred, the hugely-
criticised player he replaced, and it was
hard to believe that Brazil has previously
been represented in that position by the
likes of Careca, Romario and Ronaldo.
Both Fred and Jo were victims of Sco-
laris insistence of playing with target
men, even though Brazilian football is
chronically short of that type of player.
This will mark us for the rest of our
lives. We need to try and lift our heads,
look for strength in our families, Ram-
ires said. We apologise to the Brazilian
people.

Van Gaal looks to shine with United
THE MAGICIAN | Dutchman will take over Red Devils with the challenge of getting the English giants back on track
Brasilia
L
ouis van Gaal is hoping he can
replicate the team spirit that took
the Netherlands to third place at
the World Cup when he arrives at Man-
chester United.
The Dutchman will take over as man-
ager at Old Traord with the challenge
of getting the English giants back on
track after a dicult last season under
David Moyes that was marred by ru-
mours of dressing-room unrest.
But the 62-year-old should command
the immediate respect of the United
dressing room thanks to the Nether-
lands excellent showing in Brazil, due
in large part to the team spirit that he
forged.
His decision to hand goalkeeper
Michel Vorm a late appear-
ance as a substitute in
Saturdays 3-0 third-
place play-off win
against Brazil in
Brasilia means all
23 members of the
Dutch squad played
some part at the
tournament.
There will al-
ways be a place in
my heart for these
23 players, said
van Gaal, who
will be replaced
as Dutch coach
by the returning
Guus Hiddink.
My players

I hope that
the group in

will become
like this one

I can get them

there.

with their semi-nal
exit against Argen-

van Gaal warned United
supporters that they will in-
evitably nd themselves on
the losing side from time
to time.
I couldnt do it with
Ajax, Barcelona or Bayern
Munich. Losing is part of
sport, he said.
I just hope that at
Manchester United I can
do my best. Whether
thats enough for the
fans, well have to
wait and see, but I
genuinely hope that
will be the case.

short at a World Cup once again.
And he admitted to feeling some
satisfaction at leaving with a bronze
medal having claimed that FIFA should
never have sanctioned Saturdays match
in the rst place.
We scored 15 goals in seven matches
and conceded four, two of which came
from penalties that were unjustly
rewarded. I think we can look back
on a successful tournment and I am
proud of my players and sta, said
van Gaal, whose team opened their
campaign with a stunning 5-1 defeat
of holders Spain.
They comfortably beat Brazil despite
playing their semi-nal - which went all
the way to penalties - on Wednesday,
24 hours after the hosts lost 7-1 to
Germany.
I have not changed my mind. This
game should never have been played and
it is not easy within three days to build
up a squad. I think we were fantastic.
He leaves the squad in good hands as
they turn their attentions towards the
next European Championship in France
in 2016 with Hiddink at the helm.
He went against the Dutch tradition
of playing a 4-3-3 formation and used a
3-5-2 system in Brazil, which made
them so strong defensively that
they conceded just one goal in
their last ve matches.
Now he hopes his success will
open eyes at home and make
people realise that there are
other ways to win matches.
My dream was to become a
world champion and we could
have done it. This was my last
match and we nish it with a
medal, but it was also impor-
tant to display a new style of
football.
I heard the new coach say
he wants to play the Dutch
way, but I have always
played the Dutch way.
Maybe this will open
everyones eyes in the
Netherlands and make
them realise there is
not just one system
that can give people
happiness.
I prefer to use
the qualities of
the squad, and it
worked. We were
not champions,
but we were very
close. (AFP)

B
anks have lost more
than Sh60 mil-
lion through fraud
between April and May,
police have said.
Bank employees are
among the suspects in some
of the cases, according to
anti-fraud investigators
reports.
But the suspects usually
go scot free due to lack of
evidence.
The recent returns
compiled for the Deputy
Inspector-General of Police
further show that mobile
and online banking, which
are fast gaining popularity
among financial institu-
tions, are emerging as soft
targets for fraudsters.
The latest reports show
that Sh69 million was lost
through various forms,
with only Sh9 million re-
covered.
The methods used
involved identity theft,
counterfeiting, obtaining
the money by pretence, elec-
tronic fund transfers, cheque
fraud, card fraud, forgery, in-
vestment scams, loan fraud
and embezzlement.
One case under investiga-
tion shows that the National
Industrial Credit Bank lost
Sh16.6 million in just one
incident of loan fraud.
Other fraud cases com-
mitted earlier and pending
in court include an instance
where Equity Bank lost
Sh2.2 million in a mobile
banking transaction over
which Mr Derek Kawinzi
was charged.
Ms Sarah Munyi was
also charged with stealing
from her employer, the
Cooperative Bank. Nearly
Sh400,000 was lost
through mobile banking.
Police are investigating
two cases in which Barclays
Bank lost Sh3.4 million
through online banking.
Some cases nalised in
May include one in which
three former employees
of First Community Bank
were in April acquitted of
stealing Sh16 million after
four years in court.
The amount was, how-
ever, not recovered.
Another incident involved
Kenya Commercial Bank
which lost Sh4.7 million.
The investigation had to
be closed after detectives
failed to identify the cul-
prit.
In one rare case, Okoth
Emmanuel was sentenced
to eight months in jail for
stealing Sh1.4 million from
the Commercial Bank of Af-
rica. Some Sh30,000 was
recovered.

I
t started, innocently enough,
in the 11th minute.
Thomas Mller, Germanys
top scorer at this World Cup, slyly
slid around the back of Brazils de-
fence. When the ball arrived from a
corner kick, he blasted it home.
The Brazilian fans who made
up most of the crowd of 58,000,
went quiet for a moment. But then,
unbowed, they resumed their de-
ant chants.
In Ceilndia, some 450 miles
north of the Estdio Mineiro, a
house cleaner shrugged. After the
rst goal, our reaction was not too
much of a shock because Germany
is a strong competitor, said the
house cleaner, Neide Moura de
Brito do Nascimento. She watched
the game on television with her
family. We already expected one
or two goals from them.
Nothing else about last Tues-
day afternoon followed anyones
expectations. From that modest
beginning, this country went on
to witness something never seen
before in World Cup soccer.
Germany scored ve goals in
the rst 29 minutes of a World
Cup semi-final, already more
than many teams scored in the
entire tournament. At the end of
the match, the score was a 7-1
victory to the Germans.
But it is those first 29 min-
utes that will be scrutinised for
generations in Brazil, poked and
prodded and dissected much the
same way Brazils dreaded defeat
to Uruguay in the 1950 World Cup
nal has been.
Moacir Barbosa, the Brazilian
goalkeeper for that infamous
loss, said before he died in 2000
that ever since that game, he felt
like he spent the rest of his life in
prison. Well, that cell just got more
crowded. Every player who wore a
yellow jersey last Tuesday, many
of them superstars, will likely be
dened and imprisoned by those
29 minutes.
The game began with high
hopes. When the music to the
national anthem stopped after
the required 90 seconds, the
Brazilian fans continued singing
with vigour, a rousing a cappella
performance.
Then, Germany scored early.
I thought we were just 10 minutes
in, we had the entire game ahead,
said Gisleine Pedroli, a marketing
student who watched at a friends
barbecue in So Paulo.
Jos Brito Lopes, who watched
at the bar in a Rio de Janeiro favela
where he works, was calm. When
the rst goal happened, I thought
that was normal, because Germany
were playing well, he said.
Yet some already had that feel-
ing of dread. The hairs on the neck.
The lump in the stomach. Brazil
cannot lose the focus, they have
to concentrate, thought Susana
Osako, a model who watched
the game with her husband in
So Paulo.
The Brazilian team seemed rat-
tled and played on its heels for the
next 12 minutes. It had not lost at
home in a competitive game since
1975, well before anyone on the
team was born.
The Germans swarmed, hold-
ing the ball and stroking it all
around the eld. Brazil made
a few forays forward but never
really threatened.
Then, Miroslav Kloses shot
was parried by the goalkeeper
Jlio Csar, and Klose kicked in
the rebound for his 16th career
World Cup goal, the most in the
tournaments history.
The scoreline moved to 2-0.
This time, the stadium was more
hushed. Two goals in 23 minutes
was not necessarily a cause for
panic, but it was distressing. A
few tears could be seen on faces
in the stands. The coarse language
coming from some of the middle
sections of the stadium needed no
translation. Yet it was still early.
There was still so much time left,
said Glayson Muller Pereira Matos,
27, a taxi driver who also plays pro-
fessional soccer in Brazils lower
divisions. I still had hope.
It did not last much longer.
Only one minute later, Mesut
Ozil of Germany crossed the
ball into the middle of the eld
where Fernandinho, the Brazilian
midelder, watched it roll straight
to Toni Kroos, who ripped it into
the net. That made it 3-0.
On the eld, Jlio Csar threw
up his hands. Fernandinho walked
face-rst into the net as if he were
walking o a plank. Brazils coach,
Luiz Felipe Scolari, staggered from
the eld to take a seat on the bench.
At that moment, Rogerio Garcs
da Silva, a doorman outside
Braslia, said that all the hope
simply left his body. He had to
get away from the TV, so he left
his house and went for a walk to
calm his nerves, he said.
Osako, the So Paulo model,
was as certain that something
was terribly wrong. This was not
normal for us. The players were
dumb cockroaches in the eld, she
said. I realise that only a miracle
could save us.
But no miracles would
come Tuesday. It got worse.
Less than a minute after that
crushing third goal, Kroos took
the ball o Fernandinhos foot
and made a savvy pass to Sami
Khedira. Khedira gave it back to
Kroos. He shot. It was impossible
but true. 4-0.
When the fourth goal went
in, said Lopes, who watched
in the crowded favela bar,
people started saying, I am
ashamed to be Brazilian.
Luciano Machado, an engineer in
So Paulo, was playing with his
ve-month old daughter in front
of the TV to distract himself.
I could not concentrate, he said.
I could not believe what was hap-
pening.
Meanwhile, the doorman
who had gone for a walk ar-
rived at his sisters house to
nd her crying so hard that they
thought she would become ill.
She was shaking! Garcs da Silva
said. We made her sip water. Ive
never seen sadness like it.
But the day was not
over. Somehow, the impos-
sible had become routine.
Three minutes later, in the games
29th minute, the Brazil captain
David Luiz cleared the ball straight
up the middle to Mats Hummels.
He split through a square of
defenders and, moments later,
Khedira rolled the ball into the
net once more. 5-0.
Marcelo, a star defender for
Brazil, covered his face with
his hands. But in the bleachers,
grief had given way to some-
thing else, something stranger.
We started to laugh with the situ-
ation, said Felipe Seligman, 30,
who was wearing the same Brazil
shorts and zip-up jacket that he
wore every time Brazil played. We
were saying, Oh my God, whats
going on, what is happening? Is
it real?
The fth goal was when Mach-
ado forced himself to turn away
from the screen. I kept listening

Germanys coach, Joachim Lw, said afterward that he
could sympathise with the Brazilians because Germany
also lost a semi-nal as the host country when it was
defeated by Italy in 2006. The dierence, of course, was
that Germany lost that game in extra time, only giving up
its rst goal after 118 minutes. Brazils dream of a nal was
over long before that. It did not even last for half an hour

Zinedine Zidane of France did not
apologise on MySpace after his infa-
mous head butt in the 2006 World Cup
nal. Diego Maradona of Argentina did
not address his 1986 knuckle-assisted
Hand of God goal on America Online,
a digital community that did not be-
come prominent for another ve years.
Controversies have arisen in World
Cups since a referee inadvertently
blew the nal whistle six minutes
early during a match at the inaugural
tournament in 1930, but the dramas of
this years eventincluding a bizarre
bite and a backbreaking tacklehave
played out with a remarkable imme-
diacy on social media.
Over the last month, players like
Neymar, Luis Surez and the US re-
serve forward Chris Wondolowski,
have oered confessions, explanations,
interpretations and amplications using
services like Twitter, YouTube, Face-
book and Instagram.
If they can jump online, say some-
thing, and see it traverse the world
in real-time, it makes life that much
easier, says Peter Shankman, a social
media consultant in New York.
Most recently, fans have been fret-
ting over an injury to Neymar, Brazils
spindly star striker, who crumpled late
in the second half of a quarternal
match against Colombia after being
kneed in the lower back.
Screaming and crying, Neymar was
taken o the eld on a stretcher, and it
was later revealed that he had a frac-
tured vertebra, meaning he would miss
the rest of the tournament.
The player who kneed him, Juan
Camilo Ziga, made only a eeting
comment or two as he rushed past
members of the news media after the
game.
It did not take long for Ziga to
begin receiving death threats and racist
taunts from Brazilian fans on Twitter.
One of the more printable comments
was that Ziga was the biggest vil-
lain in the history of football. He took
to social media a day later to explain
himself.
There was no bad intention, malice or
negligence on my part, he wrote in a
letter posted on his Facebook page.
Ziga also addressed Neymar
personally, telling him: I admire you,
respect you and consider you one of
the best players in the world. I hope
you recover and return quickly.
Grainy footage circulated of
Neymar being rushed into an
emergency room, being comforted
by teammates on an airport tar-
mac and being loaded on a gurney
into a helicopter. He did not publicly
engage with Ziga on social media,
but he did address his nation of froth-
ing fans directly.
In YouTube video, Neymar, look-
ing rakish in a sideways hat despite
his temporary incapacitation, spoke
emotionally about how his dream has
not ended yet because his teammates
could go on to win the World Cup
without him. Another dream of mine
was to play in the World Cup nal, but
I wont be able to do that now, he
added.
While some professional sports
teams place limits on what their ath-
letes should share on the Internet,
the Brazilian playerseven before
Neymars medical journey became
available for consumptionhave not
been shy. Instagram, in particular, is
popular with the Brazilians, and pic-
tures such as Dani Alves sele with a
milk bottle and David Luizs underwater
homage to heavy-metal music have
made fans feel that their beloved stars
are accessible.
Neymars injury was hardly the only
story to play out on the web.
When Surez, a Uru-
guayan striker, sank his
teeth into the left shoulder
of Italys Giorgio Chiellini dur-
ing a group-stage game, theories
about digitally enhanced pictures of
the bite marks popped up almost im-
mediately. Surez and Chiellini gave
brief interviews after the game, but, as
is often the case, the players took to
social media to oer clarications once
the emotional level of the situation had
calmed.
After FIFA, soccers governing body,
announced a heavy punishment for
Surez that included a suspension from
nine international games and a four-
month ban from all soccer activities,
Chiellini, who had initially called Surez
a sneak, took to his personal website
to say that he felt for Surez and his
family and hoped that Surez would be
allowed, to at least stay close to his
teammates during the games because,
he argued, such a ban was really alien-
ating for a player.
Surez, who at rst claimed that no
bite had taken place, then emerged
with a Facebook post in which he
apologised, somewhat, and said Chiel-
lini had suered the physical result of
a bite in the collision.
That prompted Chiellini to post a
reply to Surez on Twitter in which he
absolved his assailant and said, Its all
forgotten.
Fortunately, the players at the
World Cup have managed to avoid
controversies like the one involving a
Swiss athletes dismissal from the 2012
London Olympics after a tweet that
insulted South Koreans. Two airlines,
however, have bumbled into problems
with World Cup-related tweets.
After the United States beat Ghana,
Delta posted a picture of the Statue of
Liberty next to the Americans score
and a picture of a girae next to Gha-
nas - not realising, apparently, that
there were no giraes in Ghana. The
airline later apologised.
In a post on the Dutch airline KLMs
Twitter account after the Netherlands
beat Mexico, the text Adios Amigos!
was accompanied by a picture of a
Departures board altered to include
a caricature of a man with a mustache,
a poncho and a sombrero. Again, the
airline apologised.
Perhaps no social media post,
though, had as much feeling as one
from Wondolowski, the US forward,
who missed a seemingly unmissable
shot from close range in the Americans
Round of 16 game against Belgium. If
Wondolowski had scored, the United
States probably would have won. In-
stead, his shot went high and wide. The
United States lost in extra time.
Wondolowski took to social media to
say he was sorry to all American fans.
There were no pictures or videos,
just a moment of unreserved account-
ability.
Im gutted to have let down everyone,
he wrote, but especially my team-
mates. Its been an incredible ride, but I
know this will make me stronger.
to the game, listening only because I
could no longer watch it, he said.
Three goals in four minutes. Four
goals in six minutes. Five goals in
29 minutes. One country could not
believe what had just happened. If
I could explain what happened in
those six minutes, I would answer,
Scolari said. But I do not know.
It was all so fast.
Lucas Rabelo spent the match
working at a gas station in
Braslia. At one point, a customer
entered the stations tiny market.
When they entered, Germany
scored a goal, Rabelo said. While
they were choosing a soda, Germany
scored a goal. And while they were
paying, one more goal.
It was too late for Scolari to
make a change. It was too late for
anything.
Germanys coach, Joachim Lw,
said afterward that he could sym-
pathise with the Brazilians because
Germany also lost a semi-nal as the
host country when it was defeated
by Italy in 2006. The dierence,
of course, was that Germany lost
that game in extra time, only giving
up its rst goal after 118 minutes.
Brazils dream of a nal was over
long before that; it did not even last
for half an hour.

Dear Kitoto,
I turned 34 in May while my husband
turns 31 in October. We started living
together in August 2012, and our son
was born two months later. When I met
my husband a year earlier, he did not
have a stable job. At that time we had
issues about him not having money,
but his excuse was that he did not have
a job. I encouraged him and prayed,
believing that he would work hard to
get a job.
After the baby came, we got along
ne, with me providing almost every-
thing, while at the same time helping
him look for a job. But I realised that he
was interested in an oce job and not a
manual one. Consequently, I gave him
some contacts and suggestions regard-
ing where to look for work. However, he
did not show much interest.
After some time, he got a job with
a cousin of mine and was able to help
a little with the bills. When business
was low, my cousin left him the job. He
complained all the time and was unable
to expand on his own. It has been about
six months since and he has no money,
leaving me to pay all the bills.
I wake up very early to go to work
since I live far from the oce and leave
him at home. He wakes up, has lunch
and goes out until evening.
I have scolded him and even sent
someone to talk to him about his fail-
ure to provide for us. He agrees that it
is not right, but insists he is doing his
best. However, I believe he is comfort-
able since I can provide. We have had
issues but our parents and friends al-
ways step in to help.
It has come to a point where I feel be-
trayed. I am angry because:
1. I agreed to live near his previous
workplace and pay the rent even though
I have to commute a long distance to
work (even when our son was small).
2. He is not ambitious and is not keen
on looking for work to enable him to
support us.
3. He claims that my interests lie else-
where.
I used to complain abou the unfair-
ness of the situation but I no longer
even mention it. I feel like I am about
to go crazy because I have asked him
to leave, in vain. We have not had sex
for the last ve months and I cannot
stand him touching me. Right now I
just want him to leave us and struggle
on his own. Then when he can provide
for us (Ive even told him we can live in
a slum if thats all he can aord), he will
look for us.
Am I missing something or have I
reached my wits end? Granted, he is
loving, but love will not educate my
child. Is it wise to ask him to go to
Dubai since there are job opportunities
there?
Please help.
Hi,
Anyone reading your email can sense
the frustration, disappointment and
some level of resignation. I must com-
mend you for how far you have come,
providing for the family. It is certainly
not fair for him to be doing nothing
about his situation. The feelings you
have are not necessarily selsh. You are,
indeed, going through a tough emotional
time, which requires you to watch your
emotional outbursts and the way you
handle your most trying moments.
You have borne the responsibilities of
this marriage for a long time and the
pressure to ensure it works has taken its
toll on you. I would suggest that you sit
with a counsellor to enable you to vent
your frustrations. This will help alleviate
the stress you have bottled up inside for
a long time.
Second, it might be good for both of
you to see a counsellor and thus cre-
ate an opportunity for him to express
his frustrations about not getting a job.
But he should realise that he cannot
be choosy regarding the job he wants.
Marriage is a journey through lifes expe-
riences together.
Third, establish ways in which your
marriage can heal. Your man needs some
tough but honest talk from a person
whose advice he can heed. You can do
this by acknowledging that we are liv-
ing in hard economic times, and that
you are better o together than apart.
Praising any progress you have made
together, no matter how little, could pro-
vide the much-needed positivity in your
relationship. This will also help you work
together during the most trying times.
This means avoiding focusing on what is
not going right.
My ex keeps using and
dumping women
Hi Kitoto,
I am a 34-year-old woman with
a daughter. I had a very bad rela-
tionship, which I decided to end
six years ago. My worry is that the
guy was extremely irresponsible, and
continues to be. He has fathered about
13 children after mine and has dumped
their mothers. Worse still, he keeps get-
ting into new relationships, completely
unbothered about the risk of contract-
ing HIV. Recently, he contacted a friend
of mine to talk to me so that we could
get back together and formalise our re-
lationship.
My worry is that his family doesnt
care about his reckless behaviour (im-
agine if one of the women was your
daughter). He had a son with another
woman when we were still dating, then
accused the her of trying to trap him
with another mans child. As time went
by, I realised that he was a womanizer
and moved out with my daughter. He
went back to the other woman and lived
with her for a month and got her preg-
nant with twins. He dumped her once
again and came back to me; he claimed
that he loved me and said he was sorry.
Because I loved him, I took him back.
After he dumped the poor woman, she
went back to her parents home, where
she delivered her twins. Her parents
also take care of her older child. To
date, this man denies having fathered
the womans three children.
After a while, he started acting
funny. For instance, he would not re-
turn home on weekends. This puzzled
me, so I asked him what was happen-
ing. Unknown to me, he had started a
new family in Machakos with another
woman, who was heavily pregnant with
his child. When he left me, I was also
pregnant but unfortunately, I had a mis-
carriage. When I was in hospital, I tried
to reach him, in vain. He never came
to see me, so when I was discharged,
I paid my bills and went home. The
other woman also delivered but un-
fortunately, the child died a few weeks
later, and was buried in his presence at
a cemetery near their home. One day
he came to my place when I was out
of town, packed all his belongings and
left without informing me. He left my
tearful daughter with the house help. I
only learnt that he had also got my
househelp pregnant, hence his uncer-
emonious departure. I never bothered
to ask him about it because I was com-
pletely fed up.
One morning as I was preparing for
work I received a text from a woman
called Esther informing me that they
were an item and that I should keep
o the man and not bother them. I re-
sponded that I would not contact him
again and would respect their relation-
ship. That seemed to make her happy
until he dumped her for another
woman after she had had his child.
She called to tell me she had found out
that the man had been dating another
woman, despite having promised her
marriage. I told her I was not interested
in her problem and asked her to stay
out of my life. The man currently has a
new catch, who is heavily pregnant.
What would you advise about such a
man, who hurts others and feels noth-
ing. He is so irresponsible that he does
not provide for my daughter. Worse
still, he insults her whenever she tries
to talk to him. It hurts her a great deal
so I often take her to my brothers place
to enable her to get some fatherly at-
tention.
The dumped women often reach
out to me, apologizing for having hurt
me and always praising me for being
strong. Since I am a Christian, I forgive
them; some even say they slept with
him in my bed. This made me donate
my matrimonial bed and move house
frequently. Currently, he does not
know where I live and I have no plans
of showing him. I even asked him to
take his daughter if she is the reason
hes trying to reach out to me but he
wouldnt do that since he is so irre-
sponsible.
Now all the women he has dumped
have ganged up and are planning to
take him to court. What advice would
you give such a person? Personally,
I want nothing more to do with him
because I believe there is someone out
there for me. I did my best; I loved
him, clothed him and gave him fare
even when he was with other women
but he played with my emotions, and
still thinks I can forgive him. Im living
alone with my child and we are happy,
hoping that one day the right person
will come along.
This situation needs serious advice
because, whenever he meets a woman,
he tells her he left me because I was

harsh and too strict with him. But ap-
parently, he has since dumped eight
women. His family is not supportive;
his mother does not care about his
behaviour while his father doesnt talk
about it.
Kindly advise because I would like
to move on and make a fresh start. We
did not formalise out relationship. My
daughter is devastated, and this has af-
fected her performance in school. He
left when she was in Standard Two, now
she is in Standard Six. The sad thing is
he doesnt provide even a single cent for

Hi,
It is, indeed, hard to imagine that a
man would do this to so many women
and leave behind many innocent chil-
dren who might have to live without a
father gure. This only opens a window
for us to look into the world of the grow-
ing numbers of single women who nd
themselves with children from uncom-
mitted men in Kenya. Statistics from the
Joint Council on International Childrens
Services indicate that Only 64 per cent
of Kenyan children aged 0-14 live with
both their parents, and about 13 per cent
are not living with either parent. It is
possible that Kenya will soon be among
the nations with with high number of
absentee fathers.
Another article in this paper in Au-
gust 2013 reported that Six of every 10
Kenyan women are likely to be single
mothers by the time they reach 45, one of
the highest rates of single-parent families
in Africa. And according to new re-
search, an increasing number of women
are drawn into single parenthood as more
men abandon their traditional role as
providers for their children.
A variety of factors, including in-laws,
lack of preparation and commitment, ir-
responsible fatherhood, and the struggle
many of them face to cope with todays
pressures, are responsible. The problem
has been compounded by the lack of ac-
countability and the breakdown in family
and other social structures. The result is
both men and women who do not give
adequate consideration to the conse-
quence of their actions.
After going through what youve de-
scribed, I really do not understand why
anyone would want to take such a man
seriously. You have a great life ahead of
you and a daughter to raise. Use your
time to help your daughter nd the sup-
port she needs to make it in life.
So there are decent
girls out there!
Hi Sir,
I am surprised that, just when I
thought there were no decent girls who
would accept love without expectations
or material and/or status attributes,
I came across the article of the nurse
looking for an honest man (June 23).
I am a 40and had hoped to be in a
relationship between the ages of 35 and
40. I was in a relationship that ended in
2012 when my girlfriend cheated on me
and later got into another relationship.
That was after I had almost nalised
all arrangements to formalise our rela-
tionship. I had decided to settle down
and start a family and take up related
responsibilities. For the rst time in my
life, I was truly in love! But that rela-
tionship completely changed the way I
view women and relationships.
I know there are decent women out
there and have tried many times to start
a relationship but there is this negative
feeling that makes me feel as if am com-
mitting a serious oence! Everyone has
suggested that I move on, and especially
my friends, who see this as a minor set-
back that I should overcome and forget.
However, I have no interest in being
in a relationship and cannot think of
starting one even within the next two
years. So yes, there are great honest
gentlemen out here and I wish I could
get to know that nurse, or even meet
someone like her. To her I say, please
dont feel awkward about holding on to
your great sexual morals. Although I be-
lieve in abstinence until marriage, I gave
in to my ex girlfriends advances after
she threatened to leave me if I refused.
By the way, she was my rst love and
just look are where I am now single
and unable to fall in love. Hold on to
what you have and pray about it.

Hi
The choices we make in relationships
have consequences that shape our fu-
ture. We, therefore, need to look at the
choices we make with the end in mind.
For example, What will having sex be-
fore marriage do to my outlook on future
relationships? That is part of what we
advance in this column, the whole issue
of making intelligent choices.
I am glad that you have learnt certain
lessons, and that your outlook on life is
hopeful. A healthy self-esteem is essential
for living with passion and focus. Suc-
cessful relationships require selessness
and focus based on strong personal val-
ues such as self-control, respect, purity
and mutual submission.
ROSES N THORNS: EXPERT ADVICE TO YOUR MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS
1
Be others focused: A self-centered person will seek
to focus on self and not on their partner.
2
Use compliments regularly: In every relationship,
spouses must learn to appreciate and arm each
other.
3
Remain faithful: Most relationships die for lack of
commitment to the values that make relationships
last.
4
Be approachable: Relationships thrive better in a
climate where there is minimal hostility and great
consideration and understanding.
5
Be present and supportive: Couples must learn to
be empathetic with each other. This only happens
when they decide to be there for each other, both
physically and emotionally.
6
Defend each other: Commit to ght for each
other and for the relationship against external ag-
gressors.
7
Be accepting and forgiving: When trials and dif-
cult times come, a relationship will only survive
if both parties show tolerance, forgiveness and ac-
ceptance. No one is perfect.
8
Avoid role confusion: When we accept and enjoy
performing our roles in the relationship, it re-
moves confusion and stress.
9
Embrace a common vision and values: A relation-
ship without clear values is like a ship on stormy
waters.
10
Make wise investments: Each spouse must
strive to discover the others potential
strengths and weakness in order to come up
with ways of growing the relationship.

O
n May 17, the day Kenyas
newspapers splashed the
news about 12 lives that
had been claimed by an explosion
at Nairobis Gikomba market,
something was happening on
the Web; something of a joke, but
which might not have sat well with
Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph
ole Lenku. An entry about him on
Wikipedia, the popular web-based
encyclopaedia, had been edited to
say he was a cook and Kenyan
comedian.
This joke would not have been so
serious were it not for the fact that
Wikipedia has become some sort
of a universal reference resource
for many students and researchers.
That bit of misinformation,
therefore, could have been picked
by anyone on the Net and quoted
as the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth.
Looking at the trails on the
edit log for Ole Lenkus entry,
an internal conflict within the
encyclopaedia becomes evident.
A robot was ghting a losing battle
trying to muzzle the malicious
entry. It gave up, and the post
went global.
Named Reference Bot, it
had earlier blocked the edit on
grounds that it was made without
any references, and removed edits
that had been made by a user
nicknamed Olekina on the
night of May 16.
I have automatically detected
that an edit performed by you
may have introduced errors in
referencing, the robot wrote at
1.31am that Saturday. But the
entry resurfaced around 11am on
May 17, bearing the message that
Reference Bot was trying hard to
block it. It was a truce of sorts
when the entry was later rectied
for good.
But the Lenku slur cannot match
that of American rapper Kanye
West, whose entry on the site was
once edited to say he had died,
according to, well, a Wikipedia
article on vandalism. The post
also lists former US Senators
Robert Byrd and Ted Kennedy,
now deceased, as those who
have once been falsely reported
to have died.
In Kenya, former Makueni
Senator Mutula Kilonzo was
a victim of the same, albeit
posthumously. Soon after the
news of his death broke on April
27, 2013, a user edited his account,
providing unveried information
on what had killed the Senator.
He had been found dead in his
Maanzoni Ranch.
It took the intervention of one
of Kenyas Wikipedia contributors,
Stephen Wathika, to remove the
edits. Wathika told DN2 that he
knew everyone would want to
get Kilonzos biography from
the site, hence his quick action
to correct it.
The web-based reference
resource, which currently has
over 30 million posts in various
languages, says any form of
editing an article on its site with
a motive to intentionally disrupt
is vandalism. That includes
modication of the text or other
material that is either humorous,
nonsensical, a hoax, or that is
of an oensive, humiliating, or
otherwise degrading nature.
Web users have previously
captured humorous edits on the
site. For example, an undated
snapshot on hungtonpost.com
shows how one user edited
a definition, thus: Room
temperature is a common term
to denote a certain temperature
to which humans are gay.

noun is a word.... A user also
edited a page on the first law

is you do NOT talk about

The same happened when
someone changed an item on cow
tipping to read: If you succeed in
tipping a cow only partway, such
that only one of its feet is still
on the ground, you have created
lean beef . . . When it falls over, it
becomes ground beef.
Internet users also captured
an entry for Brazil and Barcelona
soccer star Neymar. The first
paragraph of the piece was edited
to say he is a diver who dives for
Barcelona.
Another snapshot records an
edit to an entry on deceased
American rock singer Janis
Lyn Joplin, which read that she
speedwalked everywhere and was
afraid of toilets.
And when Gor Mahia was
on the brink of capturing the
Tusker Premier League title last
year, the Luo expression gini
wasekao made it to Wikipedia,
but the entry was later deleted
by the sites administrators who
said it was self-glorication of an
ethnic term.
So, going by these instances, one
is bound to ask: Who, and what,
makes the cut to have a Wikipedia
entry? Because, apparently, not
every subject deserves being on
the encyclopaedia.
To avoid the possible
disappointment of your article
being rapidly deleted, make
sure that it meets Wikipedias
requirements for inclusion. In
brief, this means that the subject
must have been mentioned in
some detail by at least one (and
preferably several) independent
academically respectable sources,
says a guide to contributing to the
site.
Just like it did to the gini
wasekao post, Wikipedia says
it deletes any article it deems
unnecessary. It also discourages
people from creating posts about
themselves.
A little forethought
If you are worthy of inclusion
in the encyclopaedia, let someone
else add an article for you. Putting
your friends in an encyclopaedia
may seem like a nice surprise or
an amusing joke, but articles like
this are likely to be removed. In
this process, feelings may be hurt,
which can be avoided by a little
forethought on your part, the
site states.
People frequently add
pages to Wikipedia without
considering whether the topic is
really notable enough to go into
an encyclopaedia.... Our notability
policies and guidelines allow a
wide range of articles. However,
they do not allow every topic to
be included.
It admits that most of its articles
are at the mercy of Web users, but
it has various preventive measures,
including a robot.
Vandalism is easy to commit
on Wikipedia because anyone can
edit the site, with the exception of
articles that are currently semi-
protected, which means that new
and unregistered users cannot edit
them.
Users who have a trend of
vandalising articles on the site are
given four warnings before they
are blocked for good. An article
that has been prone to many edits
may also be restricted.
The rst incident of vandalism
was discovered in 2005, when
American journalist John
Seingenthalers biography on the
site was changed and went for
months without being noticed.
A user had edited it to say that
the journalist had a hand in the
assassination of US President JF
Kennedy.
The fact that students take
Wikipedia content for gospel truth,
and given its vulnerability, worries
Dr Solomon Waliaula, a lecturer
at the Maasai Mara University.
Sometimes you read a term
paper from a student and you
easily notice the Americanisms,
the easy tone, and you are left
worrying what has become of
scholarship nowadays. They
overuse, misuse, and even abuse
it. Some copy and paste directly,
he complains.
Dr Fred Mbogo, a lecturer at Moi
University, says that the trouble
with open-source material is that
sometimes you can get misguiding
information and that whereas
there are some subjects that are
exhaustively tackled on the site,
others are really shallow.
Try researching on African
literature to get a feel of what
Im saying, says Dr Mbogo.
But Sam Maosa, a Kenyan who
has been contributing articles to
Wikipedia since 2009, says the
portal should be cut some slack
by traditional scholars. All
information exists in nature, says
Maosa, but dierent people have
knowledge of dierent pieces of
information. All the books we
read are there because someone
wrote them. The same applies to
Wikipedia.
Maosa is among the 20 Kenyans
who are recorded as the pioneers
of Wikimedia Kenya, a body of
volunteers who create and edit
Wikipedia articles.
Founded in 2001 by Jimmy Wales
and Larry Sanger, Wikipedia has
grown from humble beginnings to
a site attracting huge trac.
It does not run advertisements,
unlike most of its peers, but every
year the site runs a fundraising
campaign to support its
operation.
It also often makes appeals
for donor funding to help it
keep content free and free from
adverts.

Like me, Madoa hated his
home. He too was living with his
widowed mum in Sangura village.
Their piece of land was slightly
larger than ours. But they were not
as rich we were. Madoas father
died after being attacked by a
leopard while felling trees in the
thick Mt. Elgon forest. Madoas
mother made ends meet by selling
doughnuts, chapatis and samosas
at Sangura Market.
Madoa was my classmate. He
was also a perpetual truant. He
hated school. Moreover, he was
so dumb he could not understand
anything in class. I was slightly
better than him on this account.
If you asked Madoa, Whats one
plus one? he would tell you Five.
He often disappeared to unknown
destinations. Days, weeks and
months would pass with no idea
of his whereabouts.
Yes-Of-Course, where have
you been? I would ask him
whenever he reappeared.
I was in Nairobi, he would
respond.
So you went all the way to
Nairobi?
Yes, of course! he would say.
Other times he would say he
had come from other major cities
in Kenya such as Kisumu, Eldoret,
Nakuru or Mombasa.
One day I will go and never
return, he told me one day, as
we walked home together from
school.
Where will you go to? I asked
him.
I will go to America.
You want to go to the United
States?
No, Im going to America, dont
you understand?
I understand you perfectly,
man.
You idiot! You havent
understood a word! he yelled at
me.
