Jubilee, Cord battle for key House teams

BY PETER LEFTIE
pmutibo@ke.nationmedia.com The battle for the control of powerful watchdog committees is set to dominate proceedings in Parliament tomorrow when the names of proposed members are tabled in the House for debate. Jubilee and Cord are locked in a stalemate over the composition of the Budget Committee, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investments Committee (PIC). Cord insists that as the opposition in Parliament, it ought to have a majority in the committees to provide eective oversight over government spending and operations. It argues that the government cannot audit itself. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Mutula lungs had blood

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 who requested anonymity told the Nation. Investigators now want to find out if Mr Kilonzo was killed by a toxic substance, and if so, whether it might be related to suicide, murder, accidental poisoning or even a snake bite. According to the source, the rst nding during postmortem was in the chest cavity where both lungs were found to be soaked in blood. An examination of the body had revealed that both the arteries and the heart had not been ruptured as is normally the case when one suers a heart attack, the source said. The postmortem examination was conducted by seven doctors, led by the chief government pathologist, Dr Johansen Oduor, at the Lee Funeral Home in Nairobi. British pathologist Calder Ian Maddison ew to Kenya at the familys request and took part in the examination. Yesterday, Dr Odour declined to comment on the latest developments, saying, the media should wait for the nal ndings. We agreed that we are not going to discuss our ndings because it can create confusion. Just wait for the nal results, he said. The new developments emerged as fresh reports indicated that detectives investigating the case are exploring the presence of a mysterious visitor at Mr Kilonzos Maanzoni home when he died on

Final ndings
Mombasa Resident Judge Maureen Odera signs a condolence book for Senator Mutula Kilonzo at the Mombasa Law Courts last week. A doctor has said pathologists who conducted the postmortem on Mr Kilonzo found his lungs soaked in blood.
April 27. The visitor is said to have been questioned by detectives, but police have refused to comment on the matter and kept the identity of the visitor a closely-guarded secret. Yesterday, forensic expert, Dr Georey Mutuma, who at one time was Mr Kilonzos doctor, questioned the eight to 10 weeks period that pathologists say it will take to release the postmortem results. Dr Mutuma said results should not take that long. It just prolongs the anxious moments that Kenyans are going to be subjected to, he said. From his experience as a pathologist, he said, he found it hard to understand why the forensic experts working on the body could want two months for something that can be done in 72 hours. Last Tuesday, the seven doctors who took part in the postmortem said they had agreed on the preliminary ndings and that results of further tests would be ready in eight to 10 weeks. They however, did not publicly release their preliminary ndings. On Saturday, fresh reports emerged that seemed to contradict earlier information that Mr Kilonzo was not seen alive after retiring to bed on

FAMILY | Where broken virginity before marriage abruptly and unceremoniously ends union
Joy dampened as oods spoil the wedding party

Newlyweds taken to higher ground to continue with the seven-day connement in a hut in line with Orma community traditions
BY DANIEL NYASSY
dnyassy@ke.nationmedia.com hey hatched the idea last year of getting married within the same week. At the weekend, Salat Abdi, 20, and his village-mate and childhood friend, 26-year-old Suleiman Yakos dream of transforming from boys to men came to pass. But oods spoilt the party after they brought two beautiful girls into their lives. The Nation team arrived in Ongonyo Village after a one-hour boat ride in the crocodile-infested River Tana and came face-to-face with the joy-turned-misery. Yako, who had just got married the previous day, sits quietly on a traditional bed in his newly built hut, raised high above the raging waters. The bride, Ms Mumina Barisa, from Dibe Village, is beside Yako, also in a sombre mood. The couple was immediately conned in their hut as tradition
demands. They are not supposed to leave for seven days, respected elder and spiritual leader of the village Sheikh Elema says. Outside, women and girls continue to dance, a few men blowing a huge sh shell and animal horns, as the women beat together sticks to produce a beautiful rhythm betting the festive mood. But from time to time, the group has to move a few metres onto higher ground, their feet soon drenched as the waters mercilessly eat into the remaining dry ground. We can only stay on the bed. If we come down, we step into the cold water, Yako says. His 16-year-old young wife, feet and hands beautifully adorned with henna, cuddles shyly on his lap. She smiles and says she doeasnt know a word of Kiswahili, but shyness is the more likely reason she is quiet. Sheikh Elema says: This couple has to stay here for seven days only moving out at night to answer a call of nature. A goat is slaughtered for them and the meat dried or boiled. The bridegrooms mother brings food and their job is only to be happy. The food, Sheikh Elema noted, is mainly meat and milk, probably with some traditional herbs. Virginity is highly valued among the Orma people. Broken virginity before marriage could abruptly and unceremoniously end the union. The rst morning of the wedding is an anxious moment. Elders wake up early and go to the cow shed, Sheikh Elema said. The bridegroom, upon dis-

When this happens, the elders who will be the rst to rise and notice the man, send word to the girls parents that things have fallen apart. The girls parents cannot put marks on the cattle sent earlier by the boys parents as bride

price. Their girl is subsequently returned to her parents and the cattle returned, according to Sheikh Elema. The Nation found the women busy building a hut for Salat, who was set to wed that night. A group of about 100 women, ululating and dancing, and about 40 men, welcomed us. Among the Orma, women build the houses. Its the duty of the bridegrooms mother to make sure her sons hut is ready before he is escorted there with his new bride. The ood waters, meanwhile, were gradually swallowing many homesteads. Salat and his wifeto be, 17-year-old Aliya Kokane from the neighbouring Ondara Village, were taken to dierent huts they couldnt stay together until the union was completed that evening. Im glad that I will marry Aliya tonight, but the oods have spoilt my mood. This hut, as you see, is being swallowed by water, Salat
lamented. His father Mzee Yusuf Wario said: My sons wedding and our joy have been destroyed by the oods. After we left, Sheikh Elema informed us by telephone that the village had been submerged and villagers moved to safer ground within Tana River District. Our newlyweds were taken to Madelta Village where they will continue with the seven-day connement as per tradition, Mzee Elema said.

Jubilee, Cord in battle over key watchdog jobs

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 But Jubilee maintains that the Standing Order that explicitly provided for the opposition to provide the leadership and majority in the watchdog committees was removed during the last Parliament and as a result, Cords demands are not backed by any law. National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi told the Nation that he expects the majority leader, Mr Aden Duale, and the Minority leader, Mr Francis Nyenze, to meet and agree on the composition of the committees before the nominees are tabled in Parliament. The leadership of the two sides must be prepared to sit down and agree on the lists. What I have said is that I am not going to allow myself to be dragged into partisan politics. I will strictly go by what is provided for in the Constitution and the Standing Orders in making my rulings, Mr Muturi said. PAC is considered powerful because it examines government expenditure, often going after individuals who are deemed to have misappropriated taxpayers money. PIC has authority to investigate how taxpayers money is spent. By virtue of its comfortable majority, the Jubilee Coalition argues that it should dominate the committees as it does the House. However, it has ceded the leadership of the two watchdog committees to Cord. This issue is understood to have been the subject of a three-hour meeting of the House Business Committee where the leaders were unable to break the deadlock. Mr Katoo ole Metito, the Jubilee Chief Whip, said on Thursday that the coalition had agreed to let Cord have 13 out of the 27 slots available. Jubilee claims to have already submitted the names of its nominees to the Clerk, while Cord insists a compromise must be reached. Whoever engineered the passing of these Standing Orders, I think was mischievous, Gwasi MP John Mbadi said last week. I think he was up to no good, whether he was from which side of our political equation. My belief is that these Standing Orders need a lot of ne-tuning; they need a lot of amendments. He said many of the members of the 10th Parliament saw the amended Standing Orders after they were reREACTION

Speaking in Parliament last Thursday, Deputy Minority Leader Jakoyo Midiwo said the provisions on what side of the House ought to lead the committees were left out because the drafters of the new orders wanted a separation of powers between the Executive and Parliament. This, he argued, was the basis upon which the Minority wants to play the role of the opposition. As the opposition, we must check what the government does, Mr Midiwo said.

What do you want to do with the mandate given to you by the people of Kenya that you dont want the people, through their representatives, to do? Mr Midiwo argued that there would be no point in allowing Cord to chair the watchdog committees, while having a Jubilee majority as this would create an opportunity for him to be overruled. He said if Cord is denied the majority from the onset, then the Cord chairmen would be eectively rendered toothless, meaning that the Opposition will be unable to play its role.

UN mission to be set up in Somalia

BY NATION REPORTER
The Security Council has voted unanimously to establish the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia. The mission, to be known as Unsom, will be based in the capital Mogadishu for an initial period of 12 months. The mandate of the new mission includes supporting peace and reconciliation and assisting the government and the existing African Union peacekeeping force, Amisom, with advice on peace and state building. The mission will also assist in coordinating international support; help build capacity in human rights and the rule of law; and monitoring and helping prevent human rights violations. Somalia has been ravaged by war and factional ghting since 1991, but has recently made progress towards stability. In 2011, Islamist Al-Shabaab insurgents retreated from Mogadishu and last year new government institutions emerged, as the country ended a transitional phase toward setting up a permanent, democraticallyelected government. Noting that progress, the councils decision follows its adoption on March 6, of a resolution extending Amisoms mandate for another year, and partially lifting the 20-year arms embargo imposed on the country. By that text, it also agreed with secretary-general Ban Ki-moon that the 15-yearold UN Political Mission in Somalia (Unpos) had fullled its mandate and should be dissolved and replaced by a new expanded special political mission as soon as possible. Mr Ban followed up by sending an assessment mission to Somalia and the region from March 17 to 29, led by the Department of Political Aairs. The core function of the new UN mission is to act as an enabler for peace.

DEADLY EXPLOSION | 60 injured, three critically, in grenade attack
Woman killed in church blast

Ocial opening turns bloody after bomb goes o during ceremony
BY ZEPHANIA UBWANI
in Arusha hock and panic gripped Arusha, Tanzania, yesterday after a grenade attack on a church left a woman dead and at least 60 people injured, three of them critically. The attack occurred as the Vatican ambassador to Tanzania, Francisco Padilla was about to inaugurate a Catholic church at Olasiti in the outskirts of the city. Hundreds of worshippers, who had attended the Mass, scampered for safety when the blast went o. Until late yesterday, one death had been conrmed. The Regional Police Commander Liberatus Sabbas said three people were in critical condition. He told reporters at the scene that a hunt for the attackers was underway and that one person was being questioned over the incident. Witnesses said the attack occurred around 10.40am as parish members and other faithful milled around the main door to witness the opening. As the Vatican envoy was about to cut the tape to let the believers into the newly-completed building, an explosion went o in the middle of the crowd. Mr Khalifa Mshana, a cam-

100 girls reject illegal cut for alternative rite

More than 100 girls from Kisii County underwent an alternative rite of passage in a bid to stamp out female circumcision. Speaking at Nyatieko Secondary School where the girls had camped for one week, Turning Point Counselling solution chairman John Macharia said the only way to ght the vice was through collective responsibility. He challenged men to join in the war on female circumcision, saying, the practice was against childrens rights.
Mulongo said security authorities were aware of the diplomats visit to the area and had been in the area since Thursday. Although the motive of the attack is not known, security analysts could not rule out that the Vatican Ambassador could have been targeted. He was whisked away from the church premises under tight security. Mr Sabbas termed the incident a terrorist attack, while many residents believe it was the work of elements bent on creating religious intolerance.

Senate to set up funds watchdog committees
UK told to link ties with Kenya on ICC

BY KEVIN J KELLEY
New York A leading human rights group has urged the British government to send a crystal clear message that smooth relations with Kenya will hinge on President Kenyattas cooperation with the ICC. New York-based Human Rights Watch stopped short, however, of protesting President Kenyattas planned trip to London next week for an international conference on Somalia. A statement by Mr Daniel Bekele, the groups Africa director, said: Some of the key concerns of the Somalia conference, such as the need for accountability of politicians and security forces and protection of media and human rights defenders, are also essential in Kenya. Human Rights Watch added that the UK should press for real action from the new Kenyan government on human rights, including support for civil society and Some of the key press freedom. concerns of the HRW had previously said it does not oppose Somalia conference... diplomatic contacts with are also essential to President Kenyatta and his Kenya deputy William Ruto. The group bases its stand HRWs Daniel Bekele on the two leaders demonstrated willingness to cooperate with the ICC. The head of a group of US corporate investors in Africa has also called on President Obama to take a business-as-usual approach to the new Kenyan government. Mr Stephen Hayes, head of the Washingtonbased Corporate Council on Africa, wrote in a blog posting on Friday, Our doors should remain open to the leader of one of out strongest allies in Africa. That policy could be reassessed if President Kenyatta ceases cooperation with the ICC or if he is found guilty, Mr Hayes added. He noted, however, that the indictments of the two leaders may have already prompted the White House to omit Kenya from an Africa trip Mr Obama plans to make this year.
Senate is planning to set up two watchdog committees to ensure all monies given to counties are well used. A sub-committee co-chaired by Siaya Senator James Orengo and his Meru counterpart Kiraitu Murungi has been asked to handle the matter. They will take the model of Public Accounts and Public Investments Committees, but will reect the devolved structure, County Investment Committee and County Accounts committee. Senate Leader of the Majority Kithure Kindiki (above) said the aim is to ensure good fund usage.

ROAD CARNAGE | Residents protest lack of speed bumps
Cyclists crushed to death in collisions

The two boys were killed as they rode on a bicycle to buy food at the local shopping centre
BY JOYCE KIMANI
kimani@ke.nationmedia.com ive people, among them two boys, were killed in separate accidents in Naivasha Town over the weekend. Area deputy police boss Paul Mengich Kori said the two boys were crushed to death by a car that veered o the road in the six oclock incident and hit them from behind at Kinungi area on the Nakuru-Nairobi Highway. A witness said the boys, aged 12 and seven years, were riding a bicycle to the local shopping centre to buy food supplies when they met their deaths. The boys were best friends and were riding by the side of the road when the vehicle lost control and rammed them, killing them on the spot, Mr David Kimani, a resident of Kinungi, said. In the second accident on Saturday evening, three men on a motorcycle collided headon with an oncoming car at Oserian area near the Olkaria Geothermal Power plant. They died on the spot while the vehicles occupants sustained minor injuries. The motorcyclist is said to have been overtaking another vehicle when the car suddenly appeared from the opposite direction, leading to the head on-collision. The police boss blamed the accidents on poor visibility. The accidents sparked protests in the area as residents accused the local trac authorities of failing to curb the ever increasing deaths on the Kinungi stretch, where more than 500 lives have been lost in the past two decades. The area residents said that their demand that speed bumps be erected on the highway had gone unheeded despite the stretch being marked as a black spot. We have seen the deaths of over 500 people along this stretch, but the Ministry of Roads has been unhelpful, James Kabono, a resident, said. Mr Kabono also asked parents to restrain their children from riding bicycles near the busy highway especially when alone saying it had proved to be too dangerous. The victims bodies were taken to the Naivasha District Hospital mortuary to await a postmortem examinations.

Duale trashes US political scientists polls survey

BY NATION REPORTER
The Jubilee coalition yesterday dismissed a survey by two US political scientists showing that both President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cord leader Raila Odinga received about 41 per cent of the vote in the March 4 elections. According to the survey, none of the two, therefore, reached the constitutional requirement of 50 plus one votes to win the presidency. Jubilee spokesman Aden Duale (below), who is also the Majority Leader in the National Assembly, said only the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is mandated in law to determine the winner of the election.
POLITICS | Lawmakers work on July deadline to have ex-PM and Kalonzo back
Cord plots Raila return to House

Allies state need for strong leadership in crucial watchdog teams dominated by rivals
BY PETER LEFTIE
pmutibo@ke.nationmedia.com he Coalition for Reforms and Democracy is working on a July deadline for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka to return to Parliament. Key players in the strategy told Nation they had identied several MPs willing to resign so that the two leaders can contest the vacant seats in subsequent by-elections. We could have nished this matter yesterday, everything is ready. So many of us are ready to resign so that they (Odinga and Kalonzo) come back to Parliament, said Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama who is spearheading the campaign. The problem is the two principals keep telling us to wait; Wait I consult, wait I do this..... we have waited for too long, Mr Muthama complained. A leading gure in the coalition who sought anonymity revealed that the campaign to have Mr Odinga and Mr Musy-
oka return to Parliament had gained urgency because of the Jubilee Coalitions dominance of key parliamentary watchdog committees: the Budget, Public Accounts and the Public Investments committees. We have realised that we need, more than ever, very strong leadership in Parliament which only Raila and Kalonzo can oer given that our rivals have the numbers in the watchdog committees.

We realise that we will eventually have to go to a referendum to change from the presidential to the parliamentary system but we have to start the process in Parliament. That is why we need somebody like Raila to spearhead this campaign, he went on. Mr Odinga gave the clearest hint that he was considering a return to Parliament when he spoke to Nation on the sidelines of Times CEO Africa Summit in the UK last week and in an interview with the Times newspaper. There are very persuasive arguments on both sides. There are those who say that I am needed in Parliament to drive the agenda of the party. There are others who say such a role is beneath my stature and I should leave politics and play a dierent role. I have not settled on either and Kenyans will hear from me in the next two weeks, he said. Those who have publicly stated that they are ready to step down include Nyatike MP Edick Anyanga and Mr Muthama.
Mr Duale said the Supreme Court also armed IEBCs declaration of Mr Kenyatta as the winner. As far as we are concerned, the IEBC is the only institution mandated to oversee the elections and determine the winner, a thing that was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court. I dont know where the so-called scientists got their gures but that is not here nor there, said Mr Duale. Mr Duale said the elections are over and that the Jubilee government was now focusing on implementing its promises to Kenyans. The Americans views were, however, widely backed by the Cord supporters on the social media, who insisted the March 4 polls were stolen in favour of Mr Kenyatta.

Floods crisis may delay opening of new school term

Most institutions were used as rescue zones for families left homeless following heavy rains
BY MOSES ODHIAMBO AND DANIEL NYASSY
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com ncertainty looms over the opening of schools that have been used as evacuation camps for ood victims in Nyanza as the second term begins tomorrow. According to the Kenya Red Cross, 20 primary schools in Siaya, Gucha, Nyatike, Nyando and Nyakach are being used as camps holding about 850 families. Western Kenya operations director Emmauel Owako told Nation the organisation was consulting with the relevant communities on how to handle the re-opening of schools. We have engaged community members on available options for the displaced families, since most of the schools are co-owned by the community. We are also considering moving people from schools to alternative rescue zones, said Mr Owako He further stated that ooded schools may not open tomorrow with tentative plans of merging classes in one institution. Schools that are heavily ooded shall have their operations merged temporarily; we shall provide rations in such central schools, said Mr Owako. He said that other institutions whose buildings were destroyed will use makeshift tents until they reconstruct the classes. Kisumu County director of education Beatrice Adu said she had instructed district education ocers to assess the situation in ood-prone areas.

Fire leaves 30 slum dwellers in the open

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
More than 30 people were left homeless yesterday after a re destroyed 10 houses in a city slum. Area assistant chief George Mose said the re, at MukuruFuata Nyayo slum in South B, started at about 11.00am when most residents were in church. Mr Mose said Administration Police ocers from a nearby camp helped ght the re. The ocers responded swiftly to calls for help and demolished neighbouring houses to stop the re spreading further, he said. The wet weather also helped residents to quickly contain the blaze, which was reportedly caused by a stove that had been left unattended.
Kenyan to repay Sh40m after UK fraud

A Kenyan woman serving a two-year jail term in Britain for making false welfare claims worth more than Sh26 million over six years has been ordered to repay Sh40 million. Gladys Popoola is to repay a total of Sh39,530,270 (304,079), including Sh24,180,000 (186,000) compensation to Westminster City Council and HMRC within six months. The move by British courts also saw three residential properties bought by Ms Popoola in key UK upmarket areas seized to foot the huge court bill. The Kenyan-born woman, who resided with her husband John Ndirangu at North West London, has been serving her jail term since March 2012. This was after she admitted 13 counts of benet fraud and three other counts of fraud relating to obtaining a national insurance number. Popoola raked in so much from the full range of benets she claimed that she bought three homes in London and one in Kenya. The court found that Popoola demanded welfare support despite the fact that she had three jobs and a working husband, building a property portfolio worth Sh65 million (500,000). The civil suit followed a criminal case where the 47-year-old UK citizen admitted 16 counts relating to fraud. The Southwark Crown Court last year sentenced her to 24 months in jail. Her six-year web of deceit started as soon as she was allowed to remain in Britain in 2004, which meant she enjoyed full welfare benets like any UK citizen. At rst, the court heard that she applied for the full range of welfare, including income support, housing and council tax benets. The mother, who lives with her daughter in the UK, duped the authorities into giving her two national insurance numbers, one in her name and the other in her maiden name. So she could work and demand welfare benet claims at the same time. Prosecuting, Mr David Jugnarain said her fraud also included an application to the government for maternity pay, despite the fact that she was already receiving it. He said in the original court case: The value of the fraud in this case is just in excess of 200,000 (Sh26 million). In addition, she falsely claimed legal aid when she was sacked from the council, when they realised that she was working elsewhere despite the fact that she was signed o sick.
Displaced people at Pipeline camp in Nakuru have accused Gilgil MP Nderitu Mathenge (above) of interfering with elections of CDF committee members. Spokesman Joseph Ndirangu said a camp dweller was elected but the MP allegedly used his inuence to remove his name and replace him with the assistant chiefs son. The MP dismissed the claims. There is no seat for IDPs in my constituency and everybody is equal, he said. These people should stop labelling themselves IDPs as I do not discriminate against anybody, he said.

Eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in gang attacks in Bungoma and Busia
BY ERICK NGOBILO

What local leaders said
AND FRED MUKINDA
fmukinda@ke.nationmedia.com olice are investigating dierent theories in connection with insecurity in various parts of the country. Inspector-General of police David Kimaiyo said several people linked to the recent attacks in Bungoma and Busia counties were arrested. We want them to tell us who is commanding them. Preliminary reports indicate attacks could be orchestrated by politicians, Mr Kimaiyo noted, adding that other unveried claims held that the killings could be the work of cult members. On Thursday last week, the police chief dispatched a top security team led by his deputies; Samuel Arachi and Grace Kaindi together with director of criminal investigations Ndegwa Muhoro to Bungoma and Busia to unravel the mystery surrounding the attacks. Tension has remained high in Bungoma after the series of attacks by unidentied gangs that have left at least eight people dead and several others seriously injured. Fear is rife that the gangs could be part of a large group of organised attackers who are planning to extend their terror to other areas. The gangs comprise of 15 to 30 men, armed with crude weapons. The two counties have been relatively calm over the years. The only time Bungoma witnessed attacks by

organised groups was in the early 1980s and 1990s. Then, attacks were carried out by terror gangs like Angola Musumbiji, Sabaot Land Defence Force and February Eighteen Revolution Army. What has been puzzling about the recent attacks is that the gangsters seem to strike without motive, and just kill and maim villagers indiscriminately. Women and children have not been spared in the attacks. Mr Muhoro said the modus operandi of the gangs was baing because they rarely stole from their victims. A security official, who earlier served in the region (he asked not to be named), told the Nation that the task facing detectives, before the current gang is suppressed, is to unearth its code name, command structure and the powerful personalities behind its operations. Unless the secret codes and operations of the group are understood, the ocial said, the police would only be reacting to symptoms and the groups activities would thrive. The ocial based his argument on how organised criminal gangs in the area two decades ago were suppressed. The three groupsAngola Msumbiji, Moja Kwisha and February 23 Movement were vanquished by security operations and are long forgotten. While the first two organised groups motives were driven by criminal intent, the other was political. Bungoma Governor Ken Lusaka questioned how intelligence could fail to unravel the mystery surrounding the attacks. Mr Lusaka and Senator Moses Wetangula have since called on the government to get to the bottom of the killings. Mr Wetangula wondered why the security personnel had not managed to contain the attacks which started weeks ago. The county commissioner, Mr Jamleck Baruga, during his Labour day speech claimed that the attacks are politically instigated. Mr Baruga said a victim is reported to have been asked who he voted for before being slashed with a panga in Mayanja village, Bungoma.

Attacks rekindle memories of terror gangs in the 1970s

BY NATION REPORTER
Attacks on villagers in two counties in western Kenya by armed gangs have rekindled memories of the dreaded Angola-Msumbiji group that unleashed terror in Kakamega and Vihiga in the 1970s. The recent attacks bore the hallmark of the ruthless Angola-Msumbiji gang which drew its members from Bunyore, Kisa Idakho, Butsotso, Isukha Marama and Wanga communities. The criminal gang targeted traders in the two former districts and informed their victims in advance of their planned raids. They would loot business premises and leave their victims maimed and in nancial ruin. At one point, the AngolaMsumbiji gang was used by politicians to intimidate heir opponents before a crackdown by security personnel dealt them a blow. Other terror groups have reared their ugly heads in the region, unleashing suering and fear among helpless villagers with devastating consequences raising questions on the ability of the security personnel to deal with the militia groups. The emergence of the February Eighteenth Resistance Army which targeted police Simiyu Werunga says the attacks in western Kenya could be a pointer to a lapse by police to eectively coordinate operations within counties. Mr Werunga warned that other criminal groups are likely to resurface in parts of Nyanza and Rift valley if the situation is not dealt with. In the past we have had very well-coordinated security teams right up to the grass root level and it was easy for police to ght criminals, explained Mr Simiyu. Security chiefs in Kakamega are spending sleepless nights after two of the most notorious suspects linked to a series of robberies in the county escaped from prison two weeks ago. Police have been combing possible hideouts for the suspects in their rural homes in Shinyalu but they are yet to be arrested.

Police must be abreast of trends in crime war

n the recent past, the nature of crime, especially in Nairobi, has been changing with attackers targeting motorists and those renting taxis. Besides the number of guns in the wrong hands, which appear to have increased, a pattern is emerging where people driving home are waylaid outside their gates, taken to ATMs and forced to withdraw money. So far, the police appear not to do enough although there have been instances where carjackers are gunned down after public complaints in particular suburbs. It is, therefore, important for the police to up their game and crack down on the emerging crime trends. The old patrol methods of ocers walking down dark alleys are no longer sucient. Sometime last year, the Nairobi Metropolitan ministry launched a security initiative that involved the use of CCTV cameras in the city centre and its environs. Little has been done since although a great deal of buzz accompanied the launch. The challenge particularly goes to the CID personnel, whose presence in the city and other growing urban centres has diminished. In the past, the department was a force to reckon with but these days, it is hard to come across cases that have been resolved by the departments detectives. Besides increasing the use of technology to track down criminals, the police must also update its ways of tracking suspects and keeping tabs on their movements. That way, it will be easier to map their activities and even to prole their possible targets. By doing this, the police will be one up on the criminals. Of course, arresting criminals goes hand in glove with prosecuting them, and the Judiciary must play its role in ensuring that those found perpetrating armed crimes are handed commensurate sentences. But when all is said and done, the challenge of making cities safer squarely lies with the police.

Stars can go to Brazil
ational football team Harambee Stars has started preparations ahead of a busy schedule in the next two months. Stars are set to play a friendly match against Ghana in Nairobi on June 1. The team will then engage African champions Nigeria and Malawi in crucial 2014 World Cup qualiers, before heading to Zambia to feature in the invitational Council of Southern Africa Football Association (Cosafa) tournament that will include the hosts, South Africas Bafana Bafana and Angola. The aforementioned xtures are crucial for the future of the team. Besides gaining much needed exposure, the squad has an opportunity to improve on the current 122nd position in the Fifa rankings. These matches will also keep Stars in good condition ahead of the realistic target of securing a berth at the 2015 African Cup of Nations. This squad has shown potential by drawing 1-1 against Nigeria in the World Cup qualier in March. We urge the new Sports Secretary, after his conrmation by Parliament, to move with speed to make the Brazil 2014 World Cup dream a reality.

few months after my rst visit to Mogadishu in 2011, I met the Somali writer, Nuruddin Farah, who predicted that I would try and return there because once you have tasted the water of Mogadishu, you always go back. An opportunity to do so presented itself last week when the mayor of Mogadishu, Mr Mohamoud Nur, invited me to his city to launch the book, Mogadishu Then and Now, which I coauthored with Ismail Osman and Mohamud Dirios, Somalis based in the US, who have been yearning to go back home since they ed the country at the start of the civil war in the 1990s. (Osman nally returned to his beloved city early this year.) It was a dream come true for all of us. Mogadishuans have not witnessed a book launch, and certainly not a book about their own city, in decades. Most of its current youthful residents have no recollection of the city when it was a beautiful cosmopolitan metropolis. Mogadishu Then and Now aims to restore the lost glory of the capital city in the Somali peoples collective memory. I think the book and the accompanying photo exhibition succeeded in

doing that. I was moved to tears when a young woman came up to me and thanked me for showcasing her city before it became the world capital of things-gonecompletely-to-hell, as one academic put it. The mayor said I was the rst foreigner in two decades to showcase the good, rather than the ugly, side of Mogadishu to the world. It occurred to me then that I had inadvertently become a goodwill ambassador for both Kenya and Somalia, just like the many Kenyan hotel sta who now work in Mogadishus growing hospitality industry. Residents of Mogadishu have gotten used to the Ugandan and Burundian African Union forces that can be seen in various parts of the city, but their encounters with Kenyans have not always been pleasant. As refugees in Kenya, they are often discriminated against and physically abused. Suspicions abound on both sides. Somalis dont trust Kenyans and Kenyans are generally distrustful of Somalis. (Hopefully, the situation will improve now that the Foreign Aairs ministries of both countries are headed by ethnic Somali women.) Kenyas foray into Jubbaland in southern Somalia has not eased suspicions either. On the contrary, it has conrmed what many Somalis believe that Kenya has a hidden agenda and that its intentions are to exploit the natural resources and agricultural potential of Somalias breadbasket. How the port of Kismayu is managed by the Kenya Defence Forces (now rehatted as Amisom) remains a mystery to most Somalis, and is a cause for concern to the new government of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Many Somalis believe that the Kenyan forces have outlived their welcome and should go back home. Things may change in the near future as more Kenyans interact with ordinary Somalis in Mogadishu and other cities. A Kenyan waiter I met in Mogadishu (a Giriama from Kenyas coastal region) is among the most loved

people at the hotel where he works. My own experience with Somalis has taught me that they will trust you when you accept them on their terms, not on terms set by outsiders. The fundamental aw in foreigners relations with Somalis is that the former treat the latter as if they had no history or culture prior to the civil war, and that even if they did, that history does not matter. Mogadishu is a much changed city. New buildings are coming up and damaged ones are being rebuilt and rehabilitated. Cafs and restaurants have sprung up all over the place and the sound of gunshots has almost disappeared. There are fewer men carrying guns, and women and girls are now donning colourful Somali attire, rather than the drab black hijab preferred by AlShabaab. Boys are playing football on the streets and on the beach, something unheard of just a few months ago. If Mogadishu continues on this trajectory, it will soon be competing with Nairobi, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Kampala and other cities in the region as an important commercial centre and tourist attraction. rasna.warah@gmail.com

Amend Public Benet Organisations Act immediately, for it is quite toxic

T
ucked somewhere in one of the schedules to the new NonGovernmental Organisations Act is the requirement that all the 8,500 NGOs currently registered in Kenya must seek re-registration within one year after it comes into force. We understand that the rationale for this provision is to clean up the ocial register by weeding out the so called bogus or brief case NGOs that have given the sector a bad name. In my opinion, this reason, while valid, does not provide sucient justication for the re-registration of all NGOs. The implications of such a requirement are far-reaching, draconian and disproportionate. In law, the process of reregistration creates a brand new legal entity, separate and distinct from the previous NGOs registered under the repealed law. Apart from the cost of registering the new entity, there will be the cost of winding up the previous entity. All commercial contracts entered into by the previous organisation with suppliers, contractors, and partners will have to be terminated since they cannot be taken over automatically by the new entity without a formal process involving the consent of the other party to the contract. Such termination may entail substantial nancial implications. All the assets and liabilities of the previous entity will have no guarantee that they will all be granted. Besides, until the new work permit is issued, the relevant expatriate will not be entitled to work for the new entity. There will also be adverse implications on donor funding and projects funded MPs must amend this contentious law by specic donors. There should be to be formally transferred to no assumption that the new the new entity. The transfer entity would be entitled to use of some assets like motor such funding or to implement vehicles and land will require the projects initiated by the registration at the relevant previous entity without the government registries upon donors express consent. payment of the relevant Leases for oce space charges and taxes. currently occupied by existing The employees of the NGOs would have to be existing NGOs will have to be transferred to the new entity transferred to the new entity subject to the concurrence of (subject to their consent) or the landlord, which might not be declared redundant by the necessarily be forthcoming current employer. ,especially if the tenantThe employees who, for landlord relationship has not any reason, refuse to take been a happy one in the past. up employment with the The registration of a new lease new entity would have to has cost implications in terms be paid their redundancy of legal fees and stamp duty. dues in accordance with the All statutory registrations Employment Act.

In my opinion, it should be enough to require existing NGOs to simply furnish the authorities with an updated set of information or documents. Another contentious revision is that all NGOs, which had been exempted automatically lose that status and must seek registration (not exemption) within three months after the commencement of the new law. Indeed, save for international NGOs, which have a narrow window for applying for exemption, there is no room under the Act for any Public Benet Organisation (PBO), to seek exemption under any circumstances. So, in the event of a disaster in Kenya requiring an immediate response, there is no room for a PBO to seek exemption from registration to enable it to lawfully undertake the emergency function. Nothing short of amending the above provisions will save the Act from being judged, on the whole, a bad law. Lets not kill a y with a sledge-hammer.

Chief Justice Willy Mutunga should just accept that some Kenyans will always feel that what was served recently in the presidential election petition was less than justice and that trying to change that perception will not be easy, Mulwa Sadat advises. He adds: It was better while we wait, for then we were full of hope, which has now diminished. When justice is well-served, it is felt even by the aggrieved. Perhaps, the CJ should, in the spirit of the post-election advice from the IEBC to the voters, also accept this perception and move on.

POVERTY ALLEVIATION | Kimani wa Njuguna
enyans rarely agree on anything especially when it has something to do with politicians. However, all seem to agree that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto are, indeed, very lucky. They inherited an economy that is doing relatively well unlike former President Kibaki. During his administration, the economy grew at a rate of 1.4 per cent in 2003 before accelerating to 7 per cent in 2007. This rise was slowed down by the postelection violence to 1.5 per cent in 2008. It picked up to reach 5.6 per cent in 2010 and then dropped to 4.4 per cent in 2012 due to the global economic meltdown. Tragically, despite this much acclaimed economic growth, the majority of Kenyans did not feel the impact. Indeed a whopping 46 per cent still live on less than a dollar a day, although this was an improvement considering that it had decreased from 56 per cent in 2003. What this boils down to is that economic growth does not necessary translate into poverty reduction. This is why Kenyans got a rude shock after a report that was released by the World Bank and IMF revealed that Kenya has poorer people than Uganda despite having a far bigger economy. The Global Monitoring Report 2013 re-

vealed that Ugandas poverty rate stands at 38.01 per cent compared to Kenyas 43.37 per cent and Tanzanias 67.87 per cent, using poverty cut-o point of $1.25 (Sh105) per person. The main problem here is that Kenya has one of the most unequal societies in Africa. A report by the African Development Bank puts the upper class (those who spend above Sh200,000 per month) at 3.6 per cent in 2011. The middle class (those spending between Sh23,670 and Sh199,999 per month) was at 17 per cent. The lower class (those who spend less than Sh23,670 per month) stood at 72 per cent in 2011.
WHY VILIFY MUTUNGA? Despite the vitriolic criticism by civil society activists, the Supreme Court has emerged stronger from its presidential election petition ruling, says Wamahiu Muya. The decision was based on law rather than on political partisanship or the ideological leanings of the judges. It was unlike the US Supreme Court whose decisions are often based on whether the judge is a Democrat or Republican. Did the critics expect Dr Mutunga to act like Judge Thacker who convicted Jomo Kenyatta in 1952, on evidence that was later proved to be perjury? YOU PROTEST TOO MUCH. Silence can be golden, says Taabu Tele, while acknowledging that it was, indeed, like a fresh breath of air to see CJ Mutunga take to social media to defend the Supreme Court against allegations of bribery. He adds: But while his act may have demystied the hitherto demigod status of judges, it has also portrayed him as still bogged down by an activists mind-set. His denial may be counterproductive, as it could lend legitimacy to the irresponsible allegations against the court. ROADS IN A MESS.

The leaders say their main focus will be on economic development. Whereas this is laudable, it is not enough for the majority poor. It will not make any sense if the government concentrates on economic growth with no tangible benets trickling down to Kenyans at the grassroots. Experience elsewhere has shown that in most cases, poverty grows whenever the benets of economic growth are reaped by only a handful. This is a recipe for a revolution because the poor cannot just sit down and watch as the sweat of their

The sector also accounts for over 70 per cent of employment especially in rural areas where the majority of Kenyans live, not forgetting that the sector feeds directly into the countrys economy with over 60 per cent of the total population. The government should endeavour to kill two birds with one stone to reduce poverty while boosting economic growth. This can be done by the government increasing budgetary allocations to agriculture to support more extension service. At the same time, the government must implement in its totality the African Union Maputo Declaration of 2003, which demands that funding to agriculture and rural development be set at 10 per cent of the national budget by member states. Also, the private sector should be prevailed upon to realise the huge potential of agribusiness.

Salaries team should set lowest pay for workers
It has been a tradition for the President to increase the salaries of the lowest earners during Labour Day. However this year, industry came out ghting, claiming that the increments were unsustainable. Now my question is: does the President have powers to increase salaries given the free market economy? Is it within the mandate of the Serem salaries commission? And if yes, what about those in the private sector? Should workers be left at the mercy of employers and the President to get a salary raise? I suggest a living wage for all workers to guide employers and avoid such acrimonious encounters.

TALKING POINT
MPs must stop deluding themselves that they are Gods gift to Kenyans
Ps should stop deluding themselves that they are Gods gift to long-suering Kenyans. They must wake up to the fact that they are not more special than the average citizen who gave them status. In the formative days of his presidency, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta decried the excessive wage bill, which has continuously crippled any meaningful economic development. Thus, austerity measures are necessary to arrest the downward trend of our economic projections year in year out. The envisaged double-digit growth cannot be realised if a handful of mean-spirited individuals have their thick sticky ngers permanently in the till. MPs in Britain not only earn about Sh700,000 monthly; they pay taxes and considering that Britain is a developed country with a higher cost of living than Kenya, its sheer lunacy for MPs to complain about earning slightly more than half a million monthly and this, for making rhetoric and technical appearances in Parliament. A couple of months back, many of the MPs were desperate fellows unable to make ends meet, but all of a sudden, Sh500,000 is peanuts to them. Claiming that they give handouts to constituents is a fallacy since they are not obliged to do so. Dishing out Sh50 notes to a few individuals can hardly dent their pockets. How do millions of ordinary Kenyans make ends meet on their meagre salaries?
Emails from correspondents
SHORT TAKES
BLAME LAWYERS: Raila Odinga vigorously campaigned for the Constitution. He cannot rubbish everything now simply because he lost the election. If I remember right, part of the evidence that was struck out was because the same evidence was given to the court after the allowed time lapsed. Raila should blame his lawyers. True, Raila will go down in history as a man who did lots of good. True he suered, but so did Matiba, Rubia etc and they did not become president. Elections are nished. Kenya needs to move on. S. K. CHEGE, United Kingdom NO FOLLOW UP: When I read (Nation, May 3), that the anti-Aids campaigners are relying on a Bill before Parliament to further their campaign, I didnt know whether to laugh or cry. We all know MPs score 10 out of 10 for passing Bills and 0 out of 10 for follow up on implementation. Two examples: production and sale of illicit brews continues unabated, despite the Mututho Law; and draconian penalties for driving oences have had no eect on the accident rate. The only exception to this is any law aecting MPs pay. ANTHONY GITTENS, Kili BRIBE-TAKER: In his letter (Nation, May 3), Luke Wainaina built a strong case for the award of higher pay to the KRA employees. No problem with that. But he marred his letter with the very last sentence: Surely, who wouldnt accept a bribe equal to their annual salary? What Luke surely, the gospel writer wouldnt have written that insinuates is that hed be bought, if the kickback could be big enough. For his information, Id rather remain a pauper than have my palm greased with any amount. Yes, any amount! KIARIE PETER, Laikipia LET MWANGI BE: Several people have expressed indignation with the way Boniface Mwangi carries out his activism. This criticism basically comes from people sitting on their couches at home people too scared to stand up for what is right, but are the rst to outline how activism should be done. One (Nation, May 3) even suggested that Boniface be counselled! We have become so complacent with the culture of greed and impunity that anyone challenging it is frowned upon. I praise Mr Mwangi for his courage, as the path he has been called on to tread is not for the faint-hearted. CIRU MBOGO, Nairobi
Employment guarantee must benet the nation

Ben T. Mangenis ideas on empowering the youth of Kenya is a good idea (Nation, May 1). He has cited in his article the example of Indias Employment Guarantee Act. However it should be noted as a caution that in that country, there are abuses of the same programme though it was started with good intentions. The beneciaries are often found idling away or doing other apparently unproductive activities. Of course, they collect their payment at the end of the day and go home. What is needed is to use this scheme for productive work like building roads or constructing dams for the benet of the nation. ANTO PORUTHUR, Nairobi
Members of Parliament
One of the MPs had the audacity to disparage the SRC commissioners claiming they didnt measure up to the stature of Justice Cocker, who recommended higher pay. If we take that not-so-honourable MP in his own stride, then none of the MPs deserves to be there because they are pale shadows of Martin Shikuku, Tom Mboya, Kijana Wamalwa, JM Kariuki and Robert Ouko, to name but a few of the fallen post-uhuru patriots.

Elections are behind us, so let Kenyans move on

The former Prime Minister and the president of the Supreme Court should stop their side-shows and let Kenyans move on. The Supreme Court is a court of the last resort. Whether he was bribed or not, the CJs verdict was nal. It is over. The former PM also goes to a foreign land and comes out with another version of the Constitution Parliamentary System. I thought he played a big part in our just recently promulgated Constitution. The exchange of words by the two respectable citizens should stop; it does not put food on our tables. JUSTIN N. NKARANGA, Mombasa
Someone should contemplate the abrogation of Parliament through constitutional means. I believe one way of doing so is for a citizen to collect a million signatures and
Abrogate Parliament
then petition the Supreme Court. A referendum can then be held. My argument is based on the mediocre performance of the ninth, tenth, and now eleventh Parliament. The rst business the Ninth Parliament transacted was the increase of their personal emoluments. The Tenth Parliament followed suit and the 11th Parliament is not doing badly either. Later parliaments are likely to follow suit if nothing is done. The solution is not voting out the MPs. New members, as we have seen, are able to pick from where their predecessors left. A change of name to say House of Commons or Peoples Parliament would also be desirable. MWAI WACHIRA, Nairobi
Big man syndrome behind the clamour for fat salaries

MPs clamour for fat salaries is deeply rooted in a awed worldview, which equates public oce with pomp, auence and a lavish lifestyle. Very few leaders in Africa ever associate public positions with service to their people. Yet leadership ought to be a form of sacrice regardless of remuneration. It is a sad fact that until today, a majority of people on the African continent still view leadership as an end in itself and not a means to an end. A typical African public ocial upon assuming oce immediately demands exalted titles such as chairman , big man , boss , chief , big pen , etc, among other ego-driven titles. Most of our MPs have already tinted their home and car windows to keep the electorate at bay. Servant leadership is not in their vocabulary. The electorate is only used to ascend to political power and immediately discarded and even abused. This understanding of leadership, like the one being exemplied by the Kenyan MPs, lacks vision. How can one explain why several constituencies in a nation that has been independent for the last 50 years still lack essential services such as piped water, electricity and other social amenities? Kenya still has a section of the population ravaged by jiggers, ooding and malaria, while a typical MP is preoccupied with his image to dierentiate him from the constituents he seeks to tower above, and who voted for them.

What is your opinion on MPs latest attempt to get a pay rise?

TANVIR KHAN: Apparently it was never about what they could do for their country, but what the country could do for them. VICTOR ABUKA: Let those greedy MPs know that we are building our anger and we shall demonstrate and recall all those who plan to remove the remuneration commission. WINFRIDA OTIENO: The MPs are used to having their way. Taxpayers should stand rm against such acts. WYCLIFE KIPRUTO: The bile directed at MPs is laughable. The same people who are yelling exhumed the MPs after their state burial by voting tribally. Let my MP eat. SHABIRA JAFRED: They vied knowing their salaries and if they are uncomfortable, they should just resign. Second, the economic conditions do not support this. MWONGELA MUTHIANI: If they dont agree to the terms of the employer, let them resign. KIMBERLY K. CHEBET: MPs are a huge disappointment. It is absolutely disgusting, shameful, selsh of them.

Union wants its members promoted

TSC recently said it had suspended the promotion of teachers due to lack of funds But the commission has been accused of promoting some teachers through the back door Knut has also demanded that principals, their deputies and senior teachers be paid higher because apart from teaching, they were also school managers The union has urged the government to employ 65,000 more teachers immediately for primary and secondary schools and early childhood institutions The teachers also want more funds allocated for the free education programme
We want the government to employ 40,000 teachers immediately and a similar number in two phases next year, Mr Sossion said after attending the Knut Nakuru branch annual meeting. The union opposed the Salaries and Remuneration Commission attempt to review downwards the civil servants allowances. Let SRC note that we shall not accept what we have to be taken away as they have done to other cadres of civil servants, the trade unionist said. TSC has also withdrawn allowances paid to teachers handling special children in Laikipia County. The teachers were getting a special allowance of 10 per cent of their basic salaries. The Kenya Union of Post Primary Teachers (Kuppet) Laikipia branch has now threatened to mobilise its members to go on strike if the allowance is not reinstated. Branch secretary Ndungu Wangenye criticised the commission for withdrawing the allowances from more than 40 teachers in the county. The teachers aected are from Sipili Special School for the Deaf, Likii Special School in Nanyuki Town and Muthengera Special School for mentally retarded children. These teachers are as special as the children they handle. At times they go beyond their call of duty and to deny them such an allowance is the worst injustice one can commit against them, Mr Wangenye said.

Teachers and TSC in hardship cash tussle

Knut boss gives 14-day ultimatum for return of allowance as commission insists that wont happen
BY NATION TEAM
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com attle lines are drawn between the teachers employer and their union over payment of hardship allowances. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has remained adamant that it will not reinstate hardship allowances as demanded by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut). Knut chairman Wilson Sossion has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the government to reintroduce the allowances or face unspecied action. TSC secretary Gabriel Lengoiboni says, withdrawal of the hardship allowances of 30 per cent from some areas should not paralyse learning, as the commission was just cleansing the payroll to weed out areas that do not qualify for the allowance. There are areas that were erroneously designated for hardship allowances, Mr Lengoiboni said.
Cleansing payroll
Affected areas include Mbololo, Mwatate and Voi in Taita Taveta County, Sigowet in Kericho County and ve schools in Narok County. Sixty-two schools in Nyambene were removed from the hardship areas list in 2012. Mr Sossion said it was unacceptable that hardship allowances were withdrawn from some areas and the promotion of teachers also frozen. We now demand that the withdrawn hardship allowance be reinstated forthwith and be paid in full. Let the TSC be warned that teachers shall not and will not take this lying down, he warned. The union also stated that in 1997, the teachers negotiated a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the government that designated the said zones as hardship areas, and teachers working there were to earn the allowance. Mr Sossion added that principals, their deputies and senior teachers in schools be paid higher because apart from teaching, they were school managers. Head teachers and principals should get 50 per cent increment on their salaries as responsibilities, while their deputies and senior teachers get 40 per cent and 30 per cent respectively, he said.
He further demanded that all teachers get another 20 per cent as holiday allowance. Knut Nakuru secretary Kuria Njau also appealed to the government to increase funding for the free learning programme and to expand institutions to counter increased enrolment. At the same time, Knut has demanded that the government factors in its budget funds for employment of 65,000 teachers this year. The union threatened to take industrial action if the government does not allocate Sh16 billion for the employment of secondary and primary school teachers as well as another Sh7 billion to hire early child hood education tutors. Mr Sossion said they had submitted the budgetary proposal to the Treasury to work out on the estimates and address the teachers shortfall, which currently stands at 80,000.

Man to sue hospital after patients death

Family accuses health personnel of negligence in the way they treated expectant mother
BY REBECCA OKWANY
rokwany@ke.nationmedia.com came out. When we inquired from her why she had been released, she said she had been given medication to cure bowel complications, Mr Francis said as he fought back tears at his home in Migadini estate at the weekend. My wife had developed bleeding problems. Why was she given constipation medication, yet her bowel was all right? he asked. Mr Francis further claimed there were no doctors to attend to his wife and they had to wait for one who was assisting a woman in labour. EXEMPTIONS My wife was nally attended to half an hour later, which was too late, he added. Ms Antonina Mageyo also blamed hospital sta for the loss of her daughter. The family said they were in consultation with a lawyer over plans to sue the hospital over the loss. Coast General Hospital chief administrator Bernard Mwero, however, denied allegations that there was negligence. The doctor said preliminary investigations showed absence of foetal heartbeat when Ms Delight was admitted on Wednesday, which led the sta to focus on trying to save the mother. Delight was admitted in the evening on May 1. She was brought in a wheelchair by the husband and a relative and the patient was in a critical condition with respiratory distress. She was frothing at the mouth, Dr Mwero said. She was immediately taken to the acute room for resuscitation, where oxygen and emergency drugs were administered, but her condition deteriorated and she, unfortunately, died, he added. At the time of the emergency, medics could not establish the foetus heartbeat. What do you do when there is no foetus heartbeat and labour? Dr Mwero posed.
family has threatened to sue a public hospital for alleged negligence they claim led to the death of a mother and an unborn baby. The family said the Coast General Hospital sta administered the wrong medication and were lax while attending to Ms Lillian Delight and her unborn baby, eventually leading to their death. They also said the hospital pathologist conducted a postmortem on the body without consulting any family member.

Sh3m lost due to unpaid bills

The Coast General Hospital loses more than Sh3 million every month, the chief administrator, Dr Bernard Mwero says. The losses are due to the waivers the hospital extends to patients, who cannot settle their medical bills. Service delivery at this hospital is compromised because people believe it is a public hospital that should be providing free services. In a month, the waivers amount to more than Sh3 million, Dr Mwero said.

Attacks keep pupils away as schools open

Hundreds of pupils in eight primary schools in Baringo County might not report back for second term today after their families fled following rampant insecurity in the area. Speaking yesterday at Loropil area during a homecoming party for Ilchamus ward representative Wesley Lekakimon, area leaders led by Baringo South MP Grace Kipchoim asked the government to prioritise security in the area as promised during the campaign period. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless in Mukutani and Mochongoi divisions and it is only fair if the government revisits the history of this menace and resettle the IDPs who are now languishing in makeshift camps, Ms Kipchoim said. About the pupils, she said: The lives of the learners have been destroyed completely. Some did not sit their endterm exams after their schools were vandalised by the armed raiders. I wonder how children studying in such harsh conditions are expected to compete with their counterparts in other parts of the country. Deputy Governor Mathew Tuitoek and County Speaker William Kamket urged leaders in the area to preach peace. Marigat district commissioner Saul Moywaywa said a new GSU camp at Arabal and deployment of more than 60 security personnel would boost security in the volatile area.
Mr David Francis claimed that his wife, who was due to deliver in a few days, was given medication that led to deterioration of her health. He said he took his wife to the hospital on Tuesday last week after she began bleeding, with expectations that she would deliver, but this did not happen. We were received at the hospital on Tuesday after my wife began bleeding at home and told to wait. Shortly after seeing the doctor, my wife

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ON AN ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT ASSESMENT STUDY REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED THWAKE WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION PROJECT
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 (Tanathi Water Services Board) is proposing a water supply to supply water to the semi-arid greater Makueni and Kitui.The project shall involve construction of a an embankment dam across River Thwake to impound runoff water. The dam wall will measure 84 metres high and its key components will include river diversion and intake works, embankment and spillway. It will cover an area of about 2,900ha spanning from the dam axis to 2-3km wide and a throwback of about 9km upstream, mainly on Thwake river basin. The catchment is estimated at about 10,276km2 comprising of about 35% arable and 65% semi-arable land. The dam has been designed for full reservoir storage of 825mcm with live storage of 594mcm. The reservoir will cover an area of 2,933ha at full storage. The embankments will require about 18.4Mm of earth fill materials. The crest of the main dam will be 1,600m long. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Hydrology MITIGATION MEASURES Replace vegetation cover on the buffer area and adjoining area upon project completion to reduce sediment transport. Provide sediment traps and/or embankments upstream to prevent excessive silt loading into the dam. To reduce sediments downstream during the construction phase, papyrus etc should be planted downstream river banks to trap the silts. During the construction phase of the dam, river water will be diverted to allow the construction works, to support the river line life at least 30% of the river base flows should be allowed so as not to harm the existing ecosystem. Diversion of the main stream should be within the Riverine corridor. Provide collaborated watering points for the disrupted communities and animals. Provide flow transmission channel of adequate capacity to carry highest flows from the proposed Thwake dam. The dam will impound and store flood flow water that would otherwise create flooding downstream. The reservoir if operated optimum it will increase potential maximum power output to the national grid and hence create more power reliability. Encourage sustainable land use in the immediate riparian areas. Ensure a minimum of 30m vegetated buffer zone around the dam. Encourage application of natural manure on farms to compensate for lost silt. Consider silt release valve. Provide temporary silt barriers to protect water quality in the proposed dam. The exact locations for all pit latrines, therefore, will be established to enable smooth relocation. Maintain construction equipment at the highest working conditions. Undertake equipment servicing only at approved locations. Ensure high sanitation and hygiene at the construction camps at all times. Pit latrines will be decommissioned and the earth scooped for safe disposal at pre-agreed sites. Identify specific point sources of water pollution (cattle pens, market centers, agro-chemical use points, etc.) for isolation and management. Institute a broad water quality monitoring system to focus on the catchment sources, incoming flows, entire dam and water downstream of the dam location. All identifiable graves falling within areas to be inundated will require decommissioning and relocating to prevent contamination of water. The exercise will be undertaken in full observance of traditional rites as well as the wishes of the affected families. Proliferation of aquatic macro-fauna could be encouraged along the periphery of the dam to ensure natural aeration of the water. Allow for buffer zone around the dam and limited proliferation of planktons for enhanced aeration. All vegetation materials (live and dead) at the dam site shall be cleared and removed before the area is excavated and inundated. Control soil erosion from the catchments and the immediate agricultural land (consider additional sand traps and supporting farmers on sustainable land use practices. Provide silt release system for downstream productivity (This will be effective through activation of silt washout valve). Provide temporary lined channels for transmission of river flows during construction to prevent losses. Ensure water abstracted for construction will be just enough. Geological profiles throughout the area proposed for inundation should be continuously monitored and areas of weaknesses strengthened. Sub-surface water infiltration trends on affected areas should be monitored over a period of time with respect to effects on houses and other structures. Indigenous trees and shrubs that have low water dissipation capacity should be encouraged around the dam buffer zone to minimize loss of water through evapo-transpiration processes. Introduce economic and financial initiatives towards water saving and responsible utilization by approved abstractions. Collaborated initiatives for compensation of vegetation removed by planting a similar volume of vegetation through community groups, i.e. local indigenous plant species. Estimated volume of biomass to be established for the compensation. Initiate a dedicated tree nursery of indigenous plants for replanting. Reintroduction of disrupted species such as fish. Dam slope stabilization to facilitate aquatic animals free movement. Sensitize the riparian communities on invasive plants to be avoided. Early removal of the alien species through mechanical/physical means as soon they are noted. Monitoring water quality with respect to nutrient accumulation would be necessary. Develop and maintain a database of animal and plant species found in the dam area as a basis for conservation and monitoring of newly introduced species in the future. Have an ecologist to oversee monitoring and management of ecological changes around the dam ecosystem, in liaison with KWS. Liaise with Kenya Wildlife Service in monitoring the new habitats and characteristics of the wildlife migrating into the dam area. Establish community interests and values in the evolving ecological setting and enhance economic benefits from the same. Consider fish ladders or by-pass channel to facilitate fish movement. Consider crossing zones at the tail waters and across the outfall into the proposed dam. The construction works should incorporate landscaping component. Maintain vegetated landscape as is the existing with other dams in the cascade. The dam surroundings should be made safe and attractive for tourists.
County sta transfers to boost revenue

Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago will soon move some employees to smaller towns within the county to enhance eciency in revenue collection. He said he will appoint town managers in various towns, including Turbo, Ziwa, Moiben and Cheptiret to improve revenue collection, thereby meet its growing expenditure. We target to collect Sh1 billion, he said.
Alarm raised over reckless fuel handling

Workers smoke as they load petroleum products into boats, which can result in a re disaster
BY GALGALO BOCHA
gbocha@ke.nationmedia.com he Public Health ministry and an environment agency have raised the red ag over reckless handling of petroleum products by traders in Lamu County. Area public health ocer Athman Dumila has written to the Lamu county government, asking it to take stern action against traders who handle petrol and other inammable products recklessly at Mokowe and Lamu jetties to avert a possible re disaster. Mr Dumila lamented that several attempts by his oce to address the issue have hit a snag. He appealed to Governor Issa Timamys oce to take the issue with the seriousness it deserves. The health official described reckless loading of petroleum products at the two jetties, also used by passengers, as a time bomb. He warned that if the problem is not immediately addressed, a major re disaster could result. People are very forgetful. Just months after we conducted a number of meetings on the dangers posed by the inflammable products, nothing has improved. We suggested that a separate jetty to handle petrol, gas and other petroleum products be constructed but this has not been taken seriously, Mr Dumila said. Some workers at Mokowe and Lamu jetties smoke cigarettes while loading petroleum products into boats, putting at risk the lives of thousands of people waiting to board the vessels. They move around smoking right in front of petrol drums, he said. County director of environment Edward Menza said the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) has been looking for a remedy to the problem, adding, his oce had concluded that petroleum dealers should move out of the island to mainland areas in Mokowe in order to address the issue once and for all. Some petrol dealers have written to Nema seeking authority to build lling stations on the mainland side, which, he said, is a step towards addressing the problem.

Bosses oppose Uhuru pay increase directive

BY NATION REPORTER
Some investors have opposed the government directive that all workers be awarded a 14 per cent wage increment. They claimed that the directive by President Kenyatta on Labour Day would result into massive lay-os. The director of the East African Business Council, Mr Jaswinder Jas Bedi said the decision was reached without wider consultations and would impact negatively on investments as well as make Kenyan goods expensive in international markets. Mr Bedi who is also the managing director of Bedi Investments said he is likely to close down his textile rm at the Nakuru Industrial area and send home more than 800 workers if the salary increase is eected. The textile industry employs about 20,000 workers and if the salary is increased most factories at EPZ will shut down, he said. Mr Bedi was speaking to the Nation at his oce yesterday where he said a rm in Ruaraka had made plans to sack 2,000 workers out of its 4,000 employees if the increase is eected.

Tsvangirai crazy over meeting claims, says army chief

BY KITSEPILE NYATHI
NATION Correspondent HARARE, Sunday Zimbabwes army commander has vowed not to meet Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangiriai over proposed security sector reforms, describing him as a psychiatric patient. General Constantine Chiwenga, the commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, a staunch ally of President Robert Mugabe said meeting the former opposition leader would be a betrayal of the countrys liberation struggle. A fortnight ago, ocials from the Mr Tsvangirais Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said the party had met several security chiefs to discuss the reforms backed by the Southern African Development Community. We have no time to meet a sell out, Gen Chiwenga told the state owned Sunday Mail. Clearly (Mr) Tsvangirai is a psychiatric patient who needs a competent psychiatrist. Zimbabwes army generals who openly support President Mugabes Zanu PF party have in the past vowed not to salute Mr Tsvangirai if he wins an election. The MDC leader has indicated that despite the opposition by the security chiefs, his party was prepared to work with them in a post President Mugabe era. Its a gment of his imagination that he met us, Gen Chiwenga said referring to Mr Tsvangirai. I think he was dreaming and that dream should remain a dream and never be a reality because we have better things to do than to meet with sell-outs. Its just not possible for me to entertain the MDC leader, we are dierent. Just like oil and water, we cannot mix. As the defence forces we will not respect or entertain people who do not value the ideals of the liberation struggle. The security forces were accused of orchestrating political violence in 2008 after President Mugabe lost the rst round of the presidential elections to Mr Tsvangirai. The then opposition leader was forced to withdraw from the presidential run-o election by the violence and after police prevented him from campaigning.

Senegal, Chad agree on trial of Hissene Habre

BY TAMBA MATTHEW
NATION Correspondent
GAGGED | Cant cover even road crash
DAKAR, Sunday
The prosecutor of the special court set up in Dakar to try former Chadian dictator Hissene Habre is expected in Djamena this week to obtain material that would facilitate the ongoing preliminary investigations that started three months ago. The move follows the signing
of a legal agreement in Dakar by the justice ministers of the two countries that will facilitate exchange of working visits by the special court and Chadian legal ocials. Witnessing the ceremony were Senegalese authorities, African Union and European Union representatives, rights campaigners and some members of the diplomatic corps accredited to Senegal. Senegals justice Minister Ms Aminata Tour described

the agreement as historic while her Chadian counterpart Jean-Bernard Padar said his country had nothing to hide. We will make available every document and resource persons to help the prosecutor to conduct his duty in the freest way possible, Mr Padar said
Year Habre was ousted
on the Senegalese national broadcaster in an interview on Saturday. He explained that the trial even though belated, will go a long way in ending impunity and appease the vfamilies of those alleged to have been killed or tortured by the former Chadian dictator.

Media freedom curbs worsen in South Sudan

Country operates without its own Press laws, using those it inherited
BY MACHEL AMOS
NATION Correspondent Reporters without Borders. This year we have decided to make it at a low-key. It will be a get together for journalists, civil society and members of the public, Mr Tut said in reference to the World Press Freedom Day. One of the reasons for a low key celebration for today is because we have also to remember our colleagues who died in South Sudan, including other journalists killed in dierent parts of the world, Mr Tut said. South Sudan is operating without its own media laws, but is using Sudan laws which are considered repressive to ll the gap. Her own draft media bills have been oscillating between the executive and the legislature since they were rst tabled in parliament in 2009. Journalists interviewed on the local press said the bills, once passed into law, would provide an opportunity to improve the freedom of expression in the country. Information Minister Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin denied that his government is reverting to the same repression of Khartoum, from which Juba seceded in July 9, 2011. Mr Marial said the cases of arrests and detention were isolated, and maintained that there is a political will to pass media laws to guarantee free press.
JUBA, Sunday
outh Sudan journalists took a low key proile to mark the World Press Freedom Day to protest against increasing intimidation and harassment within the last one year. Between 2012 and 2013, 12 cases of arrests of journalists have been recorded. In separate incidents, a radio presenter was suspended without pay for hosting a Member of Parliament. Other two journalists have ed the country in fear for their lives. One freelance writer was brutally murdered at his house in Juba in December last year. These gures are from the Association for Independent Media Development in South Sudan (AMDISS). A state deputy governor also said his government would crucify misbehaving journalists. But the arrests are ongoing. On Wednesday, an assistant editor for a daily newspaper was arrested for publishing a public release from a community that claimed their son was killed by a serving deputy minister. A reporter for Pioneer weekly was detained and interrogated for three hours on Thursday for photographing the scene of a trac accident. The state TV and radio news are checked by government ocials before broadcast. Because of these things, we are complaining that we are not free, said Stephen Tut, an executive member of AMDISS. If you cannot be allowed to publish even trac accident, that is censorship, he said. As a result of these restrictions by the state, Mr Tut added, South Sudan dropped 12 points to 124th on the 2013 World Press Freedom Index compiled by

British deputy speaker denies gay rape charge

He may be forced to resign as it would be quite dicult to carry on his sensitive task
LONDON, Sunday
deputy speaker of Britains lower house of parliament said today that allegations of raping one man and sexually assaulting another were completely false , adding that he had previously regarded both men as friends. Mr Nigel Evans, 55, a lawmaker in Prime Minister David Camerons Conservative Party, issued the denial a day after he was questioned over the alleged attacks on two men in their twenties. Yesterday, I was interviewed by the police concerning two complaints, one of which dates back four years, made by two people who are well known to each other and until yesterday, I regarded as friends, Mr Evans said in a statement to the media outside his home. The complaints are completely false and I cannot understand why they have been made, especially as I have continued to socialise with one as recently as last week. I appreciate the way the police have handled this in such a sensitive manner and I would like to thank my colleagues, friends and members of the public who have expressed their support and, like me, a sense of incredulity at these events. His solicitor said afterwards that Mr Evans was not intending to resign either as deputy speaker or as a member of parliament. Mr Evans revealed he was gay in 2010, eight years after he was elected, saying he was tired of living a lie . He represents Ribble Valley in Lancashire, northwest England, and is one of the House of Commons three deputy

Lancashire Police conrmed that a 55-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault and that he had been released on bail until June 19. Police said the alleged attacks took place in the village of Pendleton, where Mr Evans lives, between July 2009 and March 2013. Evans is a popular figure at Westminster, well-liked by
lawmakers across the political spectrum. His arrest stunned fellow Conservatives. Its right to point out, and for me as a long-standing friend of his, to point out that he is a very popular and well-respected member of parliament and deputy speaker, Foreign Secretary William Hague told Sky News. But defence minister Philip Hammond suggested it would be quite dicult for Evans to carry on in his sensitive and high profile role as deputy speaker while ghting the allegations. (AFP)

Iraqi premiers action on media raises questions

In democracies, the courts deal with any abuse of law and Iraq has a judiciary
rime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq is o target. The media isnt the countrys problem. His leadership is. A week today, the countrys Media Commission suspended the operations of ten satellite television channels. Included were Qatar-owned al-Jazeera and Sharqiya, a top Iraqi station. The others are small, and Sunni-owned. Al-Maliki heads a coalition government dominated by the Shiite. They make up two thirds of legislators. The government explained the suspeended channels were fuelling sectarianism. A Media Commission official, Salem Mashkour, explained: We had direct meetings with channels administrations and we asked them to change their language, taking a stand against those who call for violence, sectarian strife, and sectarian killing. They were calling for direct killing recently, so this is inconsistent with the norms and standards adopted by free press in most democracies. Whats wrong with sectarianism? Al-Maliki had an answer: I can honestly say that if the sectarian sedition bursts, there will be no winner or loser. All of us will be losers Both al-Maliki and Mashkour are right. Advocating violence isnt the medias job; neither is demonizing other groups based on race, religion, race, sex, or its orientation. The best course of dealing with those doing so in democracies, however, remains the courts, and Iraq has a judiciary. Anyway, the media in Iraq didnt invent sectarianism. Its no surprise Sunni broadcasters complained the state hasnt acted against Shiiteowned broadcasters, who blast Sunni leaders. The Shiite and Sunnis arent the only ethnic or religious groups in Iraq. A historical point is in order here, though. The Treaty of Zohal in 1638 conrmed Ottoman Sunni domination of Iraqi. That domination lasted up to 2003 with the United States and a coalition of the willing invasion that ended the rule of Saddam Hussein, a Sunni. He was clumsily hanged forof all real and perceived crimesthe 1982 killing of 148 Shiite. It was in retaliation for an attempted assassination, not

necessarily by Shiite. The rights and wrongs of the invasion isnt a discussion here. Al-Maliki is. As current political leader, he needs note one thing. Giving Sunnis a taste of the medicine their ancestors have given others, especially Shiite and Kurds, for historical inevitabilitiesno Iraq has lived since 1683 is myopic. Violence last month should be a revelation, which the Shiite-Sunni slaughter of 2006-2008 should have been. The United Nations Iraq mission says 712 people were killed and 1,633 injured, mostly in sectarian-inspired violence. It was the bloodiest period since the withdrawal of United States and British troops 18 months ago. Accompanying the violence were four months of protests by Sunnis against discrimination by al-Malikis government. The prime minister cant deny Sunnis have grievances. Of course, external forces, al-Qaeda, Sunni and Shiitedominated states, et cetera, are adding poison in the mix for their own interests. While al-Maliki needs to pay attention to all that he has to examine his policies. Are they convincing the Sunni and the Shiite that if the sectarian sedition bursts, there will be no winner or loser; all of us will be losers? Of course, he wouldnt know that if, partly, he doesnt let people express views, by all legal means. (cmbitiru@hotmail.com) MASSIVE

NATIONAL CRIME RESEARCH CENTRE INAUGURATION OF THE SECOND GOVERNING COUNCIL
OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER MINISTRY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
REPUBLIC OF KENYA
Message from the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya and Chairman of the Governing Council
It is a great milestone for us all as we inaugurate the second Governing Council of the National Crime Research Centre (NCRC). The Government conceived the idea of a National Crime Research Centre in view of the serious threat posed by crime on society in general, and development activities in particular.
or people to participate in the crucial task of nation building, it is important that the social, political and economic environment in which they live and work is secure. Only in such an environment will our people be able to make rational decisions as to the likely future outcome of investments, thereby facilitating the mobilization of both capital and labour resources for national development. It is for this reason that the Government places great emphasis on a functional criminal justice system which has capacity to manage crime. The traditional way of dealing with crime is reactionary. It usually involves the commission of an offence followed by arrest and prosecution with penal consequences. This is not usually in the province of the criminal court to inquire into the causes of crime. Hence, the approach, while effectively dealing with individual cases, does not lead to prevention of similar criminal occurrences. For a country to effectively combat crime, it must not simply react to the vagaries of crime. In order to effectively combat crime, high quality and well-researched information becomes necessary to engage multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral strategies. The establishment of NCRC was premised on this approach that brought together all players in criminal justice system. The inauguration of the Governing Council will provide a holistic approach, which tackles legislative enforcement and social aspects of crime in the course of formulation of the research policy and programes of the Centre by the Council. The Police, Prisons, Attorney-General, Judiciary, Departments of Social Services, research institutions, including the universities are adequately represented in the Council of NCRC, whose primary function is to co-ordinate research into all aspects of crime.

A reactionary attitude could wrongly imply that the Government is in pursuit when it is supposed to be in-charge. It is this need that the establishment of NCRC seeks to meet. From such a basis, it would be possible to detect the negative outows that lead to increased tendency to criminal behaviour as a result of rapid social and economic transformation. As crime becomes more sophisticated, it becomes imperative to adopt new strategies for dealing with emerging and even more complex forms of crime. It also

Message from the Solicitor-General

he inauguration of the second Governing Council of the National Crime Research Centre (NCRC) is timely as it comes when crime has become a common concern both for Governments and citizens across the globe. Locally, we have witnessed increase in the commission of such crimes like rape, violent robberies, organized criminal gangs, incest and drug trafcking, among others. Crime has taken a dangerous dimension in its sophistication due to human development and technological advancement. New forms of crime that are trans-national in nature have since emerged. These include terrorism, money laundering, trafcking in human beings particularly children, small arms, cyber crimes, corruption and piracy. Crime and violence are distressing
realities in society. The obvious consequences of these include family dysfunction, education failures in the youth, substance abuse and poverty. Crime has led to fear, rage, physical and emotional injury to members of society. In total, crime contributes to lack of development and economic growth of any society. The key players in the criminal justice system should co-operate to develop knowledge, skills and capacity to implement and sustain strategies to combat crime and violence. They must also seek practical cost-effective solutions that improve peoples lives at the same time focus on restorative justice. NCRC has contributed to the ght against crime through research. This has assisted the
with administration of criminal justice to formulate and implement policies in crime prevention. Through research ndings, it has helped to enhance community capacity to address the causes of crime and violence. There is no doubt that research ndings by the Centre have further contributed to: Crime prevention reducing the risk of occurrence of crime and other social disorders. Crime reduction reducing criminal acts and the gravity of their consequences by intervening in their causes and prevention Community safety involves a wider concept and aspect of quality of life. Decongestion of Prisons reduction of Prison population through crime
prevention. Data gathering and analysis to come up with authentic ndings for purposes of combating the causes of crime. Promotion and co-ordination of research into crime at local regional and international level
Mr. Wanjuki Muchemi, CBS agencies of Government concerned
The continued implementation of the foregoing objectives by the Centre will assist the policy formulators and planners in the administration of criminal justice to develop and carry out strategies towards crime prevention. This will go a long way in the Centres contribution towards the achievement of Kenya Vision 2030.

NATIONAL CRIME RESEARCH CENTRE INAUGURATION OF THE SECOND GOVERNING COUNCIL

OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER MINISTRY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
REPUBLIC OF KENYA
Message from the Director of National Crime Research Centre
n behalf of the staff of National Crime Research Centre (NCRC), I would like to congratulate the AttorneyGeneral and the Chairman of the Governing Council of the National Crime Research Centre, Githu Muigai, SC, on this day of the ofcial inauguration of the newlyconstituted Council. This is indeed a historic and auspicious occasion for the processes of law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice in Kenya. The National Crime Research Centre is established by the National Crime Research Centre Act (No.4 of 1997). The Act came into effect on 15th November, 2000. The operationalization of NCRC was completed in 2010 and shortly thereafter, the Centre attained autonomous status and is operating independently with single line budget from the Treasury. Todays
Corporation under the Ofce of the Attorney-General (OAG). We thank the Attorney-General for the trust and condence he has reposed in us in this regard. The Centre is mandated by the Act to carry out research into the cause of crime and its prevention and disseminate research ndings to such institutions as the Governing Council may, from time to time, determine for appropriate action. In this regard, the Centre has carried out three researches into organized criminal gangs in Kenya, Gender-Based Violence and Election Violence and Crime in Kenya, whose reports are due for dissemination after their adoption by the Governing Council. Their ndings will assist the agencies of Government concerned with the administration of criminal justice in their policy formulation and planning in combating crime.
The Centre brings together all the key players in the criminal justice system including the AttorneyGeneral, the Judiciary, the Police, Prisons, Probation, and Social Services. In addition, Civil Society Organizations and the academia are adequately represented in the Council. Furthermore, the Centre is by law required to liaise with other bodies and agencies locally and internationally engaged in similar or related research in the causation and prevention of crime. The rationale and philosophy behind the setting up of the Centre and its Multi-sectoral, Multi-disciplinary and Multi-Agency composition should be obvious to all of us. Crime has become (and will continue to be) more complex, and sophisticated. New forms of criminality, including corruption, organized crime, terrorism, money-laundering, drug-

trafcking, trafcking in human beings, piracy, arms and cyber crime, etc., are now with us. They respect no territorial borders and mutate faster and more ruthlessly than the most virulent of any of the presently known viruses. Without an effective mechanism for cooperation and co-ordination by and between the various criminal justice agencies in Kenya and for mutual international co-operation in criminal matters, the ght against modern day crime would be a lost cause. Thus, the National Crime Research Centre could not have been established at a better time. The members of staff would like to assure the Attorney-General and Governing Council members of their continued professionalism in the discharge of the core functions of the Centre under the guidance of the Governing Council.

Energy body coming up with new laws on transport

A regulator has said it is setting a new legislative framework and regulation on transportation of petroleum in the country. The Energy Regulatory Commissions director-general Kaburu Mwirichia said the body is working on a new regulation that will streamline bulk transportation of petroleum. The commission is setting new regulations to look into providing licences to drivers transporting petroleum. Currently ERC only regulates transportation of LPG gas, Mwirichia told petroleum dealers in Nairobi. The meeting, which was held with other government agencies, including the Kenya Revenue Authority, National Environment Management Authority and Kenya Bureau of Standards, targeted all petrol stations. ERCs role encompasses economic, competition, technical and environmental regulation, a key aspect of economic regulation. One of the functions of ERC is licensing petroleum import, export, transport, storage, refining and sale. The meetings main objective is to raise awareness and thus increase the level of compliance in the sector. Mwirichia said the Energy Act also grants the commission the power to issue, renew, modify, suspend or revoke licences and permits for all undertakings and activities in the energy sector. (Xinhua)
AND DENNIS ODUNGA
dodunga@ke.nationmedia.com he government has unveiled a plan to improve trade in livestock by vaccinating 61 million livestock in the next nancial year. According to budget estimates released on Thursday, the animals will be vaccinated against foot and mouth disease and other trade-sensitive diseases. Measures will also be put in place to strengthen disease surveillance and introduce an advanced reporting system using Digital Pen Technology. Kenya has in recent years been trading in live animals, which are exported mostly to the Middle-East. It has also been striving to create disease-free zones to improve on the marketability of its meat and meat products in Europe which has a stringent regime for products that are allowed into that market. So far, parts of Coast region have been classied as disease-free zones and are used as holding grounds

for cattle. The government intends to improve on control of deadly animal diseases like trypanosomiasis by reducing the density of tsetse y by 4 per cent in the next nancial year. The government has planned to reach 5.1 million pastoralists through field days, shows, farm visits and exhibitions, and rehabilitate 7,500 denuded rangelands. In the year, 21 abattoirs will be constructed and commissioned and 260 farmers groups supported with value addition facilities in centres along the milk corridors. Stakeholders in leather industry totalling 440 will be trained on value addition. Meanwhile, agriculture officials say Kenya could make as much as Sh1.6 billion annually if trypanosomiasis was eradicated in the country. Dr Steve Kemp, the programme leader animal Biosciences, observed that in tsetse infested areas, trypanosomiasis reduces the output of meat and milk by a half and was a threat to livestock production. Use of the right dosage is crucial in treating the disease. Unscrupulous traders who interfere with the drugs to sale more and earn more are not helping to contain the disease but are contributing to resistance to drugs, Dr Kemp said. The scientists spoke during a meeting with

They cited shortage of enough data to inform policy on best ways to control and treat diseases has the main challenge facing eorts to reduce human and animal infection rates. Agriculture Permanent Secretary, Dr Romano Kiome admitted that trypanosomiasis still posed serious
challenges to livestock production hence the need to build local capacity of Kenyan scientists to update relevant data that can help ght o the disease. The PS who is also ILRIs board member said the country cannot accumulate data without scientists coming to carry out research aimed at addressing challenges bedevilling this country. It is absolutely necessary we build data. Lets support our scientists. The government has extended retirement age for scientists to 65 years besides other benets as part of a deliberate strategy to give them ample time to do research, said Dr Kiome. He said Kenya was among the few countries with a fullyfledged trypanosomiasis

Involve us in cashless matatu fare talks, says lobby

A matatu lobby group wants all investors in the public service transport consulted before the proposed cashless payment of fares is included in the Trac Act. Matatu Welfare Association chairman Dickson Mbugua said although the idea is noble, there is need for public participation for it to gain popular acceptance. The chairman said commuters are important partners in the implementation of the electronic payment system which is expected to restore sanity in the matatu industry, which is riddled with arbitrary charges. The government must value active participation in policy formulation by all those who stand to be aected by the changes. This is to enable them own the idea and avoid cases of resistance, Mr Mbugua said. He, however, said the cashless payment spearheaded by Equity Bank and Google should leave room for travellers to make a choice between paying cash and using the electronic way. He said 70 per cent of investors in the public service vehicles have formed Saccos and companies to streamline their operations. It should be just like the way supermarkets operate where a customer decides whether to pay through his ATM or other payment modes, Mr Mbugua said.

Pascal Lamys successor faces the tough task of restoring the clout of global commerces rulesetting organisation
GENEVA, Sunday
Commercial interests stir Everest brawl

KATHMANDU, Sunday
A brawl on Mount Everest a week ago that shocked the mountaineering community stems from tension between elite climbers and growing commercial expeditions on the worlds highest peak, experts say. Italys Simone Moro and Ueli Steck of Switzerland, two of the worlds top mountaineers, accompanied by top British alpine photographer Jonathan Grith, were involved in a ght with a group of Nepalese Sherpas on Saturday. While there are many views on who was to blame, all agree the spark was a decision by the Europeans to climb the Lhotse Face, a steep ice wall, while the Nepalese guides were rigging up ropes for their commercial clients. Hundreds of commercial climbers were famously photographed as they queued to reach the summit last year. Expecting similar crowds, the Expedition Operators Association of Nepal proposed before the start of the 2013 summit season that Sherpas be sent to x two sets of ropes one for ascent and another for descent. This year the tensions occurred while the Sherpas were beginning to implement that plan, Tourism ministry spokesman Mohan Krishna Sapkota said. (AFP)
he World Trade Organisation is close to chosing its next leader in a nal round pitting Brazil against Mexico, with the winner facing the tough task of restoring the clout of global commerces rule-setting body. Brazils WTO ambassador Roberto Azevedo and his rival Herminio Blanco, Mexicos former trade minister, are expected to learn as early as Tuesday whether they have won a contest that is seen as too close to call. All concerned are keenly aware that the successor to two-term directorgeneral Pascal Lamy from France must act fast to revive the WTOs moribund global trade talks. Both men have pitched a similar vision for a negotiating process which they say needs overhauling. The multilateral trading system is weakened by a complete paralysis in the negotiations, Azevedo told AFP, explaining it was time to unclog the system. Mr Blanco, meanwhile, said it was
time to reboot the 159-nation WTO. The main challenge is the W in WTO, he told AFP, underlining that the logjam had pushed members into negotiating bilateral and regional deals. You have to transfer this energy back to Geneva, where the WTO is based, to prove the point and reach of the organisation, he said. Supporters of a WTO-wide deal warn that other accords can create a spaghetti bowl of conflicting rules, thereby failing to serve global commerce. Created in 1995, the WTO aims to spur growth by opening markets and removing trade barriers, including subsidies, excessive taxes and regulations. The stated goal of its Doha Round , launched at a summit in Qatar in 2001, is to deploy trade to develop poorer economies. But members repeatedly have clashed over the give and take needed to reach a deal, with

deep splits notably between China, the European Union, India and the United States. Some have blamed Mr Lamy, a former EU trade chief, who raised hackles with an alleged name-andshame drive to break the deadlock after he won a second term in 2009. Amid fears that Decembers WTO summit in Bali could fail, the new director-general will have to act fast after taking over on September 1.

Americans dont want to eat horse meat and Congress is trying to forbid its sale and export. Yet for the rst time since 2007, new horse slaughterhouses are set to open in the United States. While Europe has been embroiled in a horse meat scandal since January, five new US slaughterhouses have led requests for licensing at the Agriculture Department (USDA), a spokesman told AFP.

But the future of the plant and others like it is far from assured, with animal protection groups and their allies

in Congress trying to pass laws banning horse meat production. Lawsuits and votes in Congress led to the closure of the last three horse slaughterhouses between 2007 and 2011. However, lawmakers later failed to renew the ban, a lapse some now want to correct. Horses are not bred for human consumption theyre companion animals, similar to dogs or cats, a Republican from Pennsylvania, Mr Patrick Meehan, said. He has proposed a complete ban on the industry in the House of Representatives. Not only is it inhumane, its unsafe: over the course of their lives, horses are regularly treated with drugs that are potentially toxic to humans, if ingested, he told AFP over email. In addition to prohibiting slaughterhouses on US soil, lawmakers also want to ban the shipping of horses for slaughter abroad, where they say the animals face a cruel death. (AFP)

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 The stars right now will help you to get any kind of ocial backing for a scheme of yours that you may have been waiting for some time. Where love is concerned, it is vital that you strip away all kinds of fantasy to nd the real person: dont go on looks alone. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 Your relationships both at work and at home, should start a more positive phase. Whats more, you can now travel without a qualm or sign important documents in the full knowledge that you are doing the right thing and that the result should be good. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 At times such as this it is dicult to tell exactly where you will end up and with whom. Some quite peculiar planetary inuences suggest that you could easily take a wrong turning during the next day or so. If you are sensible, you will keep away from people whom you may have a total attraction for. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 You are right to keep your hopes held high in a situation where you are very much in the driving seat. The only mistake you could make will be taking your eyes o the road. Focus and concentration are what you need to reach a destination you have thought of. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 Numerous bright ideas will be ooding into your head, but curb a tendency to begin a second task before the rst one is well and truly dealt with. When things are going well, you tend to become an overachiever or even a know-it-all. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 The worries and woes of someone close may be disheartening but you must be generous enough to listen and help if and when you can. The planetary set-up today suggests that your buoyant mood will rub o and you will improve the situation no end. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 Your life could rarely be described as dull but perhaps you are about to discover yet another source of stimulation or activity. Dont be surprised if everyone is suddenly aware of an increase in your appetite for excitement. VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 TAny day now you will be glad you took a chance on what appeared to be along shot as some encouraging signs will appear. However, that doesnt mean you should discard your, well used safety net regarding some sort of investment or speculation. A little extra condence will help but too much will land you in trouble. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 Not every aspect of your work or daily routine comes easily. However you should be nding that even the most exacting tasks can be attacked with more vim and vigour than usual. In the process you will make time for whatever it is you enjoy the most. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 If you have been keeping a home or family concerns to yourself, its because you dont like to be a burden. However, now that things are taking an distinct turn for the better you will be ready to share your good news. Temper your eusiveness with some circumspection though just in case there are last minute developments. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 It seems youve had to focus on the serious side of life and give berth to certain social occasions. However, you will soon be ready to put things right and you mustnt be afraid of appearing obsessive in spreading generous helpings. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 Questions seem to be cropping up, thick and fast but you know where to go for most of the answers. Dont be surprised if today planetary set-up provides inner awareness. The next stage of your life is about optimism rather than struggling.

Mayweather batters Guerrero

WBC champ successfully defends his welterweight title after serving time in jail
Las Vegas orld Boxing Council champion Floyd Mayweather extended his perfect record to 44 victories Saturday, beating Robert Guerrero by unanimous decision in their welterweight title ght. Mayweather, who was defending his title for the rst time since serving a jail term for domestic violence, dominated a bloodied Guerrero for most of the ght at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. All three judges scored the 12-round ght 117-111 in favour of Mayweather. I had a good tough battle with Robert Guerrero, Mayweather said. It was blood, sweat and tears tonight. The 36-year-old Mayweather was also ghting for the rst time in a year as he improved to 44-0 with 26 knockouts. Guerrero, who had his 15-ght win streak dating back to 2005 snapped, fell to 31-2-1, with 18 knockouts. Mayweather spent close to three months in jail beginning in June after being convicted of domestic violence involving the mother of his three children. I wouldnt wish being locked up on anyone, Mayweather said Saturday. Thats a rough position, being locked up 23 hours a day with one hour out.

Noah leads the Bulls into second round

New York Joakim Noah scored 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds Saturday to lead the injury-ravaged Chicago Bulls to a 99-93 victory over the Brooklyn Nets and into the second round of the NBA playos. Facing a do-or-die seventh game, Noah asserted himself in every facet of the contest connecting on 12-of-17 shots from the eld and also blocking six shots. The victory in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference rst-round series earned the Bulls a second-round clash with reigning NBA champions Miami. Chicago were without forward Luol Deng, their regular-season scoring leader who spent part of Saturday in hospital in Chicago. Britains Deng had missed game six which the Bulls lost in Chicago when he came down with flu-like symptoms, then developed complications from a spinal tap that he had to rule out a possible case of meningitis. Chicago, which played all season without star Derrick Rose as he recovered from knee surgery, was also without guard Kirk Hinrich, still nursing a calf injury. But the Bulls showed a sense of urgency that the Nets couldnt match. Team of ghters, Noah said in explaining Chicagos success. Were not going to give up. Noah scored 16 points in the rst half, leading three Chicago players who scored in double gures en route to a 61-44 halftime lead. Won two straight games Noah also pulled down ve oensive rebounds in the rst half, his energy setting a tone for the Bulls. He gets us established, said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. He does a lot of things oensively with his passing and getting to the oensive boards, and then he anchors our defense. Marco Belinelli, stepping in for Deng, nished with 24 points for Chicago. Carlos Boozer added 17 and Nate Robinson scored 12. The Bulls will now travel to Miami for game one against LeBron James and the Heat on Monday. Im very excited, Noah said. You want to play against the best. This is what its all about, playing the champs. Its going to be a war. With their season on the line, the Nets responded early in the third quarter, trimming their 17-point halftime decit to as little as four points. But after winning two straight games to force the decider they ran out of steam. (AFP)
Both ghters had their fathers working their corners Saturday. Mayweather sacked his uncle and longtime cornerman Roger Mayweather in favour of bringing his father Floyd Sr back for this ght. Exchanged verbal attacks The two fathers grabbed most of the pre-ght attention by exchanging verbal jabs, with Ruben Guerrero calling Floyd Jr a woman beater in the build up to the bout. Mayweather had plenty of critics heading into Saturdays ght who said factors working against him included increasing age, the change in trainers and the conviction and jail term. Everybody was saying because I am 36
Everybody was saying because I am 36 that I dont have it no more, that my defence wasnt sharp, but I proved myself

that I dont have it no more, that my defence wasnt sharp, but I proved myself, Mayweather said. The ght started slowly, with Guerrero the aggressor and Mayweather feeling the challenger out. Mayweather began to seize control in the third round and dictated the pace from there, using his superior foot and hand speed to keep Guerrero o balance. Mayweather landed one of his hardest punches in the eighth round a roundhouse right that wobbled Guerrero, whose face was starting to show the eects of being hit with a barrage of straight rights, stinging counterpunches and lunging jabs. The champion also opened up a cut near Guerreros eye in the eighth. (AFP)

Klitschko claims 60th win

Berlin World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko defended his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts on Saturday night as he out-classed challenger Francesco Pianeta with a sixth-round knock-out to register the 60th win of his career. Although German-Italian Pianeta, who survived testicular cancer three years ago, came into the ght undefeated in his 29 previous ghts, he was outclassed by the 37-year-old champion in Mannheim, south-west Germany. I want to thank my opponent, there are a lot of challengers who talk a lot, but he got in the ring and fought bravely, said Klitschko. His comments were a thinly-veiled dig at David Haye who has constantly tried to lure Klitschko back in the ring, despite the British ghters points defeat to the Ukrainian in Hamburg in July 2011. He tried everything to hit me, if he had landed one his big punches, I wouldnt have got up. said Klitschko. (AFP)

Mumbai give Super Kings reality check

BY CLAY MUGANDA
claymuganda@gmail.com The rampaging Chennai Super Kings suered a 60-run loss at the hands of Mumbai Indians after getting bowled out for 79 in a low scoring match of the Pepsi Indian Premier League T20 cricket tournament in Mumbai yesterday. The home team scored only 139 for the loss of ve and initially seemed like they will go down, but their bowlers took out the visitors in 15.2 overs to consign them to their only third loss in 12 matches. On Saturday, it was a contest between two former captains of Sri Lanka when Delhi Daredevils travelled to Hyderabad to play against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Delhi Daredevils, who were beaten by six wickets in 13.5 overs and condemned to their eighth loss in 11 matches, are captained by Mahela Jayawardena while the Sunrisers, who have maintained their home-winning streak, have Kumar Sangakarra as their skipper. On winning the toss and electing to bat, the Daredevils started on a slow note and after three overs, could only lay claim to 12 runs. The low run rate did not improve and after ve overs, they were a wicket down with only 23 runs after the skipper was trapped leg before for 11 when they had posted only 13 runs. Wickets fell in quick succession It got even lower as wickets fell in quick succession with Virender Sehwag getting clean-bowled by Darren Sammy for 7 and David Warner getting stumped o Amit Mishra for 8 to leave them at 66 for the loss of ve in 14 overs. They then lost four wickets for 25 runs to leave them at 78 for the loss of eight after 18 overs, and were eventually all out for 80 in 19.1 overs. The bowlers did an extraordinary job, said Krishnamachari Srikkanth, the Sunrisers strategic analyst. The line and length they bowled was outstanding and I think the rst two overs set the tone for the game. Needing only 81 in 20 overs, the home team got o to a ying start by scoring way above the required run rate of 4.05 and after two overs, they had posted 17 runs for no loss. After seven overs and still with seven wickets in hand, they needed only 38 runs to register their seventh win in 11 matches. We thought we could get to 120, said Jayawardena after the loss. We have not been playing well but we have to sit down and plan how to turn things around. Sammy, who was declared the man of the match after he nished with gures of 2 for 10 and scored an unbeaten 18 from 20, expressed condence that the Sunrisers can make it to the playos.

Also bringing out a sterling performance was Olympian javelin thrower Julius Yego, who missed the podium nish by a whisker. Chemut, who won silver at the 2012 Africa Championships a year after posting similar results at the Africa Junior Championship, posted the 10th fastest time this season, clocking one minute and 46.51 seconds to win. The 20-year-old Chemut , who boasts of a personal best of 1:43.96 over the twolap race, edged out compatriot Robert Biwott to second place in 1:46.98 as Tyler Mulder of United States came home third in 1:47.22. The mens 3,000m race was the most interesting as Birech led three Kenyans including London Olympic Games bronze medallist Abel Mutai to
world leading times this season in the third leg of the 15-round IAAF World Challenge series. Boasting a personal best of 8:03.43, Birech crossed the nishing line in 8: 15.26, beating Mutai, who is also the Africa champion to second place in 8:19.31 as Bernard Mbugua Nganga claimed third place in 8:19.63. Taking part in his rst major event this season after a superlative last season that saw him make history as the st African javelin thrower at the Olympics, Yego, ploughed 76.43m to nish fourth behind winner Yukifumi Murakami (Japan) 81.16, Stuart Farquhar (New Zealand) 78.81 and Hamish Peacock (Australia) 78.05. I just came in yesterday and had little time to practice but I thank God, said Yego. I threw it long though not good results as I felt the ight was feeling a little bit lazy and tired. Yego, who has been christened The YouTube Man after he famously confessed that because of lacking a coach he obtained training tips from the internet via You Tube, plans to participate in several Diamond League events starting with Shanghai on May 18 ahead of the World Championships due August 10-18 in Moscow, Russia. Yego, who is the 2011 All African Games and Kenyan champion plans to join his coach Pettri Pirronen in Finland before his debut at the Worlds. Kenyan women didnt fare well in the 5,000m with Sally Kaptich Chepyego nishing fourth in 15:38.27 and junior Pauline Keveke seventh in 15:55.43. Mike Rodgers of the USA won the 100m in a time of 10.19 followed by Derrick Atkins (Bahama, 10.24) and Yoshihide Kiryu (Japan, 10.40).

BY PHILIP ONYANGO
ponyango@ke.nationmedia.com Nairobi City women basketball team beat stubborn Mukono City of Uganda 79-63 to successfully retain the Inter-Cities basketball crown as the championships concluded at Lugogo indoor courts in Kampala yesterday. In this tough match, which could have gone either way, Nairobi dominated the rst quarter where they out scored the Ugandans 25-12 National team players Elanor Musundi, Vilma Achieng, Hilda Indasi (left) and Emma Nyakweba had an outstanding game. The Ugandans who had in their stable Kenyas star post player Purity Ouma, Everlyne Adhiambo, Virginia Awino, Brenda Mbone and Lorraine Akinyi rallied strongly in the second quarter which they won 17-13 before narrowly losing the third quarter 15-17 as the game gathered momentum.

Serena battles past Kazakh qualier at Madrid Masters

Madrid Lore vWorld No.1 Serena Williams was given a reasonable test in her rst match at the Madrid Masters on Sunday against Kazakh qualier Yulia Putintseva before the American eventually prevailed 7-6 (7/5), 6-1. Putintseva had come through two rounds of qualifying and she seemed to handle the warm conditions better early on in an extremely tight rst set. Both women broke each other once and Putintseva managed to save another three break points to force the set into a tie-break. However, the World No.88 nally crumbled at 5-4 in the tie-break as she red long and Williams served out the set before taking control in the second, breaking four times to close out the match. I felt a little sluggish at the beginning, but happily I was able to win, the 15-time Grand Slam winner told a press conference afterwards. I know I will need to play better as each match goes on. And Williams believes the warm conditions in the Spanish capital should be to her advantage as the tournament progresses. I have been training in Europe for a little more than a week, but long enough. I trained in Paris for a few days and then I came here. I think these clay courts are really good, they are a little bit quick which is really good for me and its also a lot warmer here so overall its really good. However, it wasnt such a good day for Serenas sister Venus as she was forced to pull out of the tournament with a back injury. (AFP)

Cricket crying out loud for sponsorship

Wednesday last week, something unprecedented happened in European football, or to be precise in world football when the Germanys Bayern Munich beat Spains Barcelona football club by three goals to nil after earlier beating them by four goals. The results left fans of the European Champions League wondering what had happened to the Barcelona which is more than just a football club in particular and Spanish football in general considering that another Spanish club also lost to Borussia Dortmund, another German club. All that happened in a span of one week, but crafting those wins started way back in 2000, after the German national team failed to advance past the group stages in the UEFA Euro Championships in Belgium and Netherlands. It was back to the drawing board, and German football started rebuilding at the club level after the national federation mandated that all clubs put a lot of emphasis on youth programmes. A decade later, the results of their labour were visible at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa and what happened last week is still a result of that rebuilding which is still an on-going process. The moral of that story is not just that patience pays in the end, but that proper planning always works wonders and is never in vain no wonder how long it takes. The German success story is something worth thinking about, and not just as far as football is concerned, but in all disciplines in the country, more so cricket which is trying to regain its footing after the team that took so long to build retired or just got tired without a formidable replacement in sight. It is not lost on local fans of cricket that the federation has been working on youth development programmes, but their eorts cannot still be considered to be that successful because of other factors. The biggest factor that many are wont to mention, and rightfully so, is the lack of sponsorship, and therefore funds, but another factor that also works against these youth development programmes is the lack of a competitive local league. Thus, even if sponsors come on board, a competitive local league where the youngsters can test and hone their skills is important and should be an integral part of the development programmes if they ever are to be successful. .

Hundreds take part in Sporton! Skates Derby
BY STEVE OMONDI
somondi@ke.nationmedia.com undreds of contestants thronged the GP Karting track in Langata on Saturday for the Sporton! Skates Derby. The event provided skaters, some as young as ve years, drawn from various skating clubs in the city a platform to showcase their talent. The days programme included speedskating, freestyling, stunt skating, skateboarding, roller hockey, dancing competition for children and GP Karting. Predictably, speeding skating was the events show stopper with contestants ghting it out for top honours in the various age group categories. The senior mens event was the most
competitive race with Richard Bett of Speed Dynamics Club beating o a spirited challenge from Erick Kubai and Martin Nderitu. The highly ranked and vastly experienced Bett was satised with performance saying his eyes are now xed on upcoming events this year. I came to this event to ne tune my preparations for other competitions. My next target is the World Championships later this year in Belgium where am hoping to put Kenya on the global skating map, said the 24 year old Bett, who is a Geomatics and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) specialist with the United Nations. Njeri Waithima of Kingdom Skaters Club nished rst in the senior womens category, ahead of club mate Joyce Omwanda in another closely contested race. Tina Khavetsa, a mother
of three skaters who were also in the competition, won the bronze medal. In the junior mens category, 17 year old Denis Njoroge came tops ahead of Kevin Mutiso and Teddy Andanje who finished second and third respectively. Tiany Claris prevailed in the junior womens category with the second place going to Nicole Wanjiru while Rose Mugo wrapped up the podium places. In the childrens competition, Munir Ibrahim and Vyshell Davene clinched top prizes in the boys and girls Under 5 years categories respectively. Ibrahim, 5, finished ahead of Hassnein Alishah and Shalom Kimeu in the boys onelap race while Davene was peerless in the girls category as the outright winner in the qualifying round.

Co-op Bank rose to the accassion after falling 51-47 to former six-time champions Ulinzi to garner two must needed rst leg points against Mennonites with a (88-45) victory. It was Co-op Banks Salim Ali and James Mwangi who set tha ball rolling for the basket hungry bankers in the rst quarter.

Mennonites, who had yet to recover from their 68-40 loss against Strathmore University exhibited a promising game through Collins Ouko and Phestus Ogweno who threatened Co-op Bank in the second quarter. Mennonites were up (14-11) in the second quarter but Co-op Bank refused to go down by leading (4027) at half-time. The match which was well ociated by referees Geofrey Mwaloma and Ken Banda with no player being ejected on ve fouls saw Mennonites run out of their ghting stamina in the last two quarters. Co-op Bank proved to Mennonites that they are the true reigning champions.

A lacklustre game at Old Traord was drifting towards a goalless draw when Mata collected a pass from Oscar and dispatched a low shot that took a deection o Phil Jones on its way into the bottom-right corner. Matas goal means that Chelsea will now go into Wednesdays crunch clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge with a three-point lead over their London rivals, who are bidding to crash into the top four. Arsenal are sandwiched between the pair in fourth, a point behind Chelsea, having played a game more. United had right-back Rafael da Silva sent o late on and although their lead over second-place Manchester City remains 13 points, they have failed to win in two games since clinching their 20th league title. United manager Alex Ferguson conceded his side werent good enough , but he felt Rafael had been reacting to an elbow from David Luiz when he was sent o by referee Howard Webb. He was elbowed. He retaliated, and the player who retaliates always gets the bigger penalty, Ferguson told Sky Sports. David Luiz elbowed him twice, but Rafael was rash and shouldnt have retaliated. I dont think the referee saw it at all. Hes going on the fact Luiz rolled around on the oor, and that convinced him it was a red card.

Arsenal in Euro driving seat now, says Wenger

London Arsene Wenger believes the momentum is now with Arsenal in the battle to claim a place in next seasons Champions League. Wengers Arsenal side moved back up to third place following a 1-0 victory at relegated Queens Park Rangers, two points clear of Chelsea ahead of Rafael Benitezs sides trip to face Manchester United. Unbeaten in eight games, they now have two games remaining and the manager believes maximum points will ensure his side nish in the top four. We are on a very strong run, said the manager. We are ready for a ght and the team is highly focused to do it. Denitely the momentum is there. If you look at the points we have made compared to two months ago we are going for it and we make the points. Away from home we have won everywhere. We have also had lots of derbies and they are dicult to win. Special pressure He added: I cannot even tell you what results I wish for from the others (Tottenham and Chelsea). A long time ago we focused on us getting the maximum points. We have done that nearly because we dropped two points against Everton and Manchester United but we want to win every game and we want to concentrate on doing that. Theo Walcott struck the decsive goal after just 20 seconds, following up his strike against Manchester United last time out for his 20th goal of the season. It was the fastest goal of the English Premier League season. And Wenger believes the wingers scoring return is a reection of his growing maturity. He is 24 now, he is a mature player. He has improved his nishing, he is an improved player, said Wenger. His ability to resist an opponent is better, it was similar goal to the one against United. But Wenger admitted his side had shown some nerves as they were made to work hard for the win by a Rangers side who are facing next season playing in the Championship. He said: You could see that this team they have not played under special pressure. (AFP)

2013 TUSKER HAVE YOUR SAY Learn laws of the game before criticising refs
I would like to respond to Moses Ojuangs article in the Sunday Nation of April 28 about refereeing errors in Kenyan Premier League matches. First Id like to respond to one item: The FKF Cup match between Sofapaka and Tusker at Kasarani last season. Whatever happened in that match was just a minor incident, which may be embarrassing, but not to the extend Ojuang tried to portray in his article. I happened to be the Match Commissar of that semi-nal and what Ojuang said are pure lies. Yes, the goal nets were old with few holes here and there. The manager of the stadium was duly informed by the match ocials. He explained to them his position, which was understood. Coming to the free-kick, Ojuang should have done some little research about Fifa laws on the game. Under Law 13, there are two types of free kicks - direct and indirect. For the direct free kick, the referee just blows the whistle and indicates the direction and if there is any sanction (cards), it is administered. For an indirect free kick, the referee makes the call by raising his hand straight up. A player who knows the basic laws of the game will know the dierence between the two kicks. From an indirect a player cannot score a goal directly, the ball must be touched or played by another player. If a goal is scored directly from an indirect free kick, a goal kick is awarded to the opposing side. From a direct free kick a goal can be scored directly by the kicker whether the ball touches or is played by another player. Lets go back to Sofapakas free kick. If Ojuang was actually in the stadium and observant, which I doubt, he could have seen the referee raise his hand and signalled for the kick to be taken. Humphrey Mieno, the player who took the kick, shot directly towards Tuskers goal. The keeper tried to stop the ball from going into the net but missed and it went straight into the goal past the same hole in the net the match ocials showed the stadium manager before kick o. The referee correctly awarded a goal kick which Tusker took and scored a genuine goal. The reserve referee and the rst assistant referee were merely doing their duty of informing the referee of the torn net on the Tusker goal which needed to be repaired before the match continued. Do you remember the game between Mumias Sugar and Al Ahly of Egypt played in Mumias? What happened? Mumias were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area. Instead of the kicker looking at the referees signal, he shot straight without the ball being touched by another player. The Egyptian keeper just stood on the goal line as the ball went past him. The referee indicated for a goal kick. Mumias players and ocials protested that they were denied a goal only to be told that you cannot score an indirect free kick directly. The referee clearly indicated this by raising his hand up but the kicker obviously was not keen or ignorant of the rules. Our players should strive to understand the laws of the game.

The good, absurd and comic of Kenyan commentators

BY MOSES OJUANG
mojuang@yahoo.co.uk obody said it is easy to communicate in a third language. There is always bound to be interference of the stronger one and thus direct translations will make comical our attempts to explain something. It is therefore even harder for a Kenyan to commentate a football game in English for 90 minutes without eliciting laughter from those who follow the proceedings. From the sad era of the collaboration between the Kenya broadcasting corporation (KBC) and Arina Development, one voice has been consistent in the commentary box: The voice of Bernard Otieno. Of course there were other voices like those of John Nyongesa and Omolle Asiko in those days but we must admit that Otienos has been the most consistent and recognisable of them all. Asikos was an easy task in the box as he was left to echo the same phrases and observations put forth by
Bernard. His job involved just chirping in with the tired phrase: You are right Bernard, he should have passed the ball It was terrible but endurable. We had no choice but to listen to them. It was in those days that Otieno developed several phrases that have been his stock in trade and to which he has become so inexplicably dependent. He cannot nish the 90-minute commentary without hurting your ears with them. There he runs through the middle penetrating zone Thus goes our hero. He loves this middle penetrating zone so much that he took it with him to France 98 when his services were hired by canal France Internationale (CFI) to commentate for the world cup. Some Kenyans were irked by it and even wrote letters to the editor seeking to know just what our man meant. He came back with the middle penetrating zone and still pounds the phrase for SuperSport. This is resilience that must be applauded by those of us who have been his faithful listeners through the decades. It is traumatic and I expect the middle
penetrating zone whenever I watch KPL matches. I get a mild fever if the phrase is not bandied around. During the KPL match between Sofapaka and Kakamega Homeboyz, Otieno and Gilbert Selebwa were lively. For once the middle penetrating zone was abandoned and replaced by other equally saucy ones: He has both legs and he can use both legs (for ambidextrous). A big collision with open wounds as well, goes down with a tackle as well And after hundreds of as wells our hero now creates his own language. He is front pedalling there (stumbling? Running forward?). The ball doesnt go on target (misses the target? Goes wide?). 88th minute the nerves getting edgy this moment. Our two heroes thus struggled through the 90 minutes and in the end you had to like them. If one thinks these people are not good enough, then he may not have heard the radio commentary brought to you by Mohammed Njuguna and Torome Tirike (I understand Double T has since moved to a dierent company).
I can assure you that if you care for football you will weep. Njuguna can talk about anything he likes in the commentary box except the match going on. With television, at least you can see the match and depend less on the commentator; with Radio and Njuguna on, you will be at a loss. He sings: mwana mbuzi mee meekamlilia mwanawe kamwambia kweya He sings the full nursery rhyme and ends up asking Torome: T.T unaonaje mpira leo?... He can take ve minutes commenting about the weather, trac jam in the city, what he had for lunch and describe what a fan somewhere is wearing. After all this he shouts Goaaaaaal repeats it many times keeping you in suspense as to which team scored! That is commentary Kenyan style. A younger radio commentator eats all the words: ankwndakleklemblemble kuleepiganje ..unarushklekleprrrpaprr NJe! If I were to choose between the two, I say give me the middle penetrating zone of my hero. The radio people have chosen to mock the poor listener.
THE BEAUTIFUL GAME | Bubbly Ingwelets pu away their league sorrows
Hot air from fans but no substance from clubs

I am an ardent fan of the Daily Nation and I have been reading all the articles that appear in the paper, especially sports. What I read is hype and rumours from AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia fans as they exchange barbs. It is good for the paper to oer a platform where writers and fans expose their intelligence, if you call it that. I have just been reading the articles with amusement. But truth be told Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards are playing substandard football. Being the two most popular teams with strong base in terms of followers, the Mashemeji have not lived up to expectations. The likes of Rama Salim, Odhiambo, Lavasa, Sserekuma (Gor Mahia) and Barazas, Wafulas, Nahimanas, Imbalambalas are no longer the same players I knew. They have faded, like old jerseys. The ashy Gor coach Zdravko Logarusic has turned out to be more vocal in trying to show his boys how to play real football. We are yet to see how Leopards new coach will react to his boys performances. What the fans are doing is to give credit where it is not due. Even though we want to be patriotic with our clubs, the truth is that the level of football we came to associate with the two teams in the past is no longer there. The playing unit must have been dismantled. Or is it a case of big egos? In as much as we would like to show our partisan nature, we should not go overboard to praise the teams knowing they have been playing poor football. I am yet to see a Gor or Leopards fanatic who will rise above the occasion to say my team has been good but now it no longer impresses me. That is not to say you should keep o from attending the live matches when your team is in action. Stadia management needs revenue just as the teams will need support. We need to give our teams support inside and out of the eld but what the diehard fans pen down on paper should reect what we see on the pitch. Let not pride come before a fall. RAPHAEL KIOMA

Help, who will save our adored AFC Leopards?

Its crystal clear that all is not well at Ingwe. Something needs to be done urgently to save one of Kenyas best football clubs from falling out of glory. Leopards has been experiencing diculties in the recent past, from administrative wrangles, to claims of mismanagement of the clubs funds, from sacking of coaches to indisciplined players, hooliganism to now players threatening to quit.

KOgalo, stop living in the past and win titles

I read William Odhiambos article in last Mondays edition of the Daily Nation April 29, 2013, with amusement. Odhiambo was all over praising Gor Mahia while discrediting AFC Leopards. Odhiambo believes that AFC is no match for Gor. The question Odhiambo missed in his piece is what other achievements Gor has registered, especially in this 21st century? Gor are living in the past. Let them win a major tournament now. DAVID LICHUNGU

Green Army, prepare for Ingwe attack

nless the mandarins at the largely dormant body known as the Sports Stadia Management Board stick to their stubborn demand that Ingwe foots the bill for repair of some plastic seats at Kasarani or look for their own stadium, this pointless debate of who are the kings between us and our noisy neighbours should be settled once and for all next Sunday afternoon. Pointless because the statistics are there for all to see, unless of course one wants to be deliberately blind to facts. Numbers dont lie and a quick check will tell you that Ingwe holds the record for the most wins between the two sides. Ingwe also holds the record for the most trophies in the east and central Africa region, a quick check will conrm this. But give KOgalo credit though, they hold the record for the noisiest team in this part of the world and perhaps for the highest number of mashemeji derbies disrupted whenever their early warning signals point at an inevitable defeat, the most recent being last seasons rst leg clash at Nyayo stadium. Let me be generous enough to salute them for at least winning the 1987 Africa Cup Winners Cup, the equivalent of present day Confederations Cup, that third rate tournament Caf stages for teams that cannot emerge tops in their respective national leagues. Never mind that the opposition comprised mundane sides such as Sudans El Mereikh, Dragons and Entente Deux, some minnows from Benin and Togo respectively, two tiny nations better known for their trade caravans than for football. If you have been keen enough, you must have noticed that the Croat called Zdravko Logarusic has already started playing mind games ahead of the derby, purposely to prepare our noisy neighbours for the worst. Ooh, we are suering from a striker shortage because my main man upfront, Paul Kiongera may not recover on time. Ooh, Innocent Mutiso picked up a groin strain in training last week. Ooh, Anth-ony Akumu has not recovered. Ooh, Moses Odhiambo and Anguyo are nursing back and knee injuries (bone experts will tell you that such pains tend to recur as one sliders into middle age, especially if thy suered early childhood aictions such as rickets or marasmus). Whatever the case, KOgalo must prepare for a torrid afternoon against a resurgent Ingwe. Paul Were is on re and woe unto Logarusic if he dares eld that hefty left back called Wekesa or something like that.

Unsettled Ingwe surrender lead to fall at City Stadium

FC Leopards recent poor form continued yesterday, when the side surrendered a lead to succumb to a 2-1 loss to City Stars at City Stadium. Leopards got o to the best possible start inside the rst seven minutes when defender Jonas Paco Nahimana rose highest to meet Paul Weres corner kick with a rm header for the opening goal of the match. However City Stars, who displayed character and nerve to nick a point against defending champions Tusker in mid-week, bounced back four minutes to the break through Joel Sebulina who drilled home a low shot from the edge of the box following initial play from Bruno Sserunkuma. Allan Wanga had an average day in oce for Leopards, missing a host of chances and his substitution just after the resumption was met
by a chorus of applause from the crowd. Sserunkuma then turned from provider to scorer just before the break with the winning goal. In Mombasa, missed chances cost hosts Bandari precious three points as they were held to a goalless draw by visiting Mathare United at Mbaraki Sports Club. My players failed to control and play their usual game because of the slippery playing eld, said Twahir Muhiddin, the Bandari coach. Made three changes David Naftali sent a cracking shot which was saved by Mathare goalkeeper Joseph Ruto. In the second half, the game was a balanced aair with both teams making three changes which bore no fruit to either side. Bandari brought in Shaaban Kenga, Fredrick Ojwang and Erick Okoth for David Naftali, Aloyce Mangi and Hamisi Ali while Mathare brought in Hillary Otieno, Daniel Mwaura and Godian Mumina for Meshack Karani, Gabriel
Ndury and Vincent Odongo. The home team got a golden opportunity in the 87th minute when after a ne combination between Abdultaif Omar, Raphael Okello and Ali Bhai resulted in Erick Okoth sending a powerful drive which was parried for an abortive corner by Ruti. In Awendo, the match involving hosts Sony Sugar against Thika United was called o after an hour of play following heavy rains. Sony were ahead in the proceedings courtesy of an 11th minute strike by Bernard Meki. Francis Kahata and Clifton Miheso had opportunities to put matters level but couldnt capitalise for the visitors, who seemed to be nursing a hang-over following their mid-week loss to Chemelil Sugar. The match will be played on from the 58th minute at the same venue today, at 10am. Reports by Isaac Swila, Abdulrahman Sheri and David Kwalimwa

Crooners will never miss the lyrics to praise storied Gor Mahia
f you have ever had the chance to visit Bukusuland and joined the locals in revelry then chances are high that at one point you have sung or danced to the song Amba Mutalia. Translated to mean Catch the Italian, this is a song that extols the exploits of Bukusu warriors who took up arms and fought o a group of British raiders and their Nubian cohorts in the 20th century. The stage of the epic battle was the scenic Chetambe Hills smack on the face of Webuye town. You may wonder why the song is about Italians and not British, but that is a story for another day. All over the world and throughout the history of mankind great achievements have always been honoured by songs praising the great deeds. The book of Samuel in the bible narrates
the great victory David won by killing the Israelites Tormentor-in-Chief, the Philistine Goliath. As the victorious shepherd boy later turned king is sang for by a jubilant crowd. As they danced, they sang: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands. (I Samuel 18:7). In later years the famous bards would pen an ode or two to great achievers in their midst. It is a fact of life that the greater the achievement the more songs would be sang in favour of the great performer. Which brings me to my topic. If we agree that the number of songs sang to an individual - or an institution for that matter - corresponds proportionally to the performance then we can assertively declare that Gor Mahia has outdone all the clubs in Kenya, and
the region too. Kicking o the trend of singing and recording songs in praise of Gor Mahia was started by the award winning musician Juma Toto and his Hodi Boys Band who did a spectacularly good song in the early 1970s. In the song the musician praises the Gor legends like James Sianga and Nicodemus Arudhi among others. Joining bandwagon Also joining the bandwagon- no pun intended- was the late Owino Misiani, who in his lifetime did more than just a song for the Green Jerseys. Others who have gone to the studio to sing about Gor include Princess Jully and ohangla crooners Lady Maureen and Onyango Alemo. These songs about Gor can only be compared to the all
time hit done by the late Congolese maestro Luambo Luanzo Makiadi Franco who sang a song in 1980s in praise of the Gabonese club Football Canon 105 de Libreville, simply known as FC 105 Libreville. Curiously, one of Francos protgs Madilu System was later to heap praises on Gor Mahia in general and their star player Abdalla Shebe in particular. If I remember well, Shebe was the rst ever Kenyan to play professional football in Europe, plying his trade at Grasshoppers of Switzerland. I was privileged to see the tall, speedy fellow in action. It was a marvel. I know sooner rather than later yet another song will pop up. tomosanjo@yahoo.com

The NCCK Central region has expressed dismay at the lawmakers eorts to subvert the countrys Constitution.

The Rev Githaiga said it is a constitutional commission put in place to determine the salaries of all public ocers in Kenya.

In that case they will not be the ones who will be going around making donations to their constituents, he said. At the same time, Senate Majority Leader Kithure Kindiki yesterday cautioned MPs against their threat to disband the salaries commission for failing to bow to their demands for higher perks.

WAR ON AIDS
Scientists have uncovered a potential functional remedy against the HIV virus
COVER STORY
After Berlin Man, two reported

Kenyan doctors treatment is based on the worlds rst known cure of HIV, that of Timothy Ray Brown, 47, who was diagnosed with HIV in 1995 and put on ARVs, but in 2006 developed leukaemia (blood cancer) and, for this reason, was given a bone marrow transplant with a rare gene mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV. At a seminar in New York, the Kenyan scientist says he is combining the therapy with methotraxate, a cancer drug
BY PAUL LETIWA
pletiwa@gmail.com
little more than 30 years ago, when the scope of the HIV/Aids pandemic became public knowledge, an understandable mood of despair settled on the medical community and general public. The disease was considered deadly and seemingly immune to treatments available at the time, but today there is reason for optimism. In mid 2010, a little girl was born to a woman somewhere in Mississippi in the US. The mother had no pre-natal care and, thus, did not know that she was infected with HIV. A routine test showed she was. Sadly, so was her newborn. The doctors transferred the baby to University of Mississippi Medical Center and put her on three antiviral drugs (AZT, 3TC, and Nevirapine) at higher-than-usual dosages, beginning only 30 hours after birth. That swift and strong remedy killed the virus before it could create hideouts or niches in the childs immune system. Months later, doctors announced that even though her blood showed traces of HIV, the virus was not able to replicate or invade other cells. Medics then declared the child functionally cured , meaning the virus was in long-term remission.
fyi
That, however, was not the only cure announced. In 2007, Timothy Ray Brown, popularly known as the Berlin Patient , became the rst man on record to have been cured of HIV, triggering a urry of medical trials across the world as researchers believed the therapy could be replicated or modied to treat other patients. Browns story is arguably one of the most followed in the realm of HIV research. Nearer home, a similar trial is being conducted by Dr Simon Barasa Situma of the Technical University of Kenya, formerly Kenya Polytechnic. Dr Barasa has modied the worlds rst recorded HIV cure and says it has worked eectively on four of his patients and that another 18 currently under observation are doing well . Consecutive tests show they carry no virus, but we have to monitor them for at least six to 12 months to be sure they are free of HIV, explained Dr Barasa, a practising pharmacist, during a presentation last week at TMs Second World Virology and Microbiology Conference in New York.
The Berlin Patient
Kenya has exempted people living with HIV from the usual cost-sharing requirements for antiretroviral therapy and treatment for tuberculosis.
I have demonstrated the HIV cure in two people by stopping rapid multiplication of CD4 progenitor cells in the bone marrow, where the HIV virus hides (to avoid) elimination by the immune system and thus achieved the rst complete cure without bone marrow transplantation, Dr Barasa said. His treatment, he says, is based on the worlds rst known cure of HIV, that of Timothy Ray Brown, 47, who was diagnosed with HIV in 1995 and put on ARVs, but in 2006 developed leukaemia (blood cancer) and, for this reason, was given a bone marrow transplant with a rare gene mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV. His doctor, Gero Hutter, said this resistance seemed to have been transferred to Brown, but Dr Barasa says this was not the case, arguing that the removal of Browns bone marrow did it. Removing the bone marrow, where the CD4 cells replicate, denied the virus the capacity to replicate and consequently the patient was free of HIV, says Dr Barasa. Since the new bone marrow was resistant to the virus, the already existing bugs in circulation and from the secondary reservoirs which include the brain, glands, intestines, and skin could not create new hideouts, hence the ultimate eradication of the virus. Bone marrow transplantation is a very expensive, specic, and dangerous procedure, which makes

Timothy Ray Brown, better known as the Berlin Patient, is the only human being proven to have been cured of HIV.
Browns treatment impossible to apply to the more than 30 million people with HIV. However, according to Dr Barasa, purging the virus from some specic locations where it seems to hide is the way out. Medical doctors using antiretrovirals are able to bring down a patients viral load to undetectable levels, but once the patient stops the medication,
the viral load goes up again. This means there is a reservoir in the body where the virus is hiding and where the ARVs are not able to reach. The hideout is in some parts of the bone marrow. Get rid of this reservoir and, theoretically, you are home and dry, Dr Barasa says, adding that he has achieved this using a method that comprises the use of a cancer drug

cured of HIV in Kenya

are now functionally cured . We treated them with methotrexate, which works by suppressing rapid expansion of the specialised stem cells in the bone marrow, called hematopoietic cells, he says. The treatment consists of a combination of agents that are given in a methodology that is tailored to suit individual patients with continuous laboratory monitoring by Pathologist Lancet Kenya Limited, a fully-edged reference laboratory situated in Nairobis Upper Hill area that boasts a wide test menu, including sophisticated molecular tests. Within two weeks, he says, the patients showed tremendous improvement, healing of symptoms related to HIV/Aids and recorded undetectable viral loads in their blood after eight weeks for the man and 10 weeks for the woman.
A CLOUD OF PESSIMISM
What to make of all the recent cured of Aids headlines? An American in Berlin, a baby in Mississippi, and 14 patients in France are all alive without treatment. Is a cure at hand? No. But in unusual cases, some people seem able, with temporary help from antiretroviral drugs, to kill the virus before it can sink into reservoirs deep in their bodies or to at least force it to stand at the doorways of their cells, unable to get in. Im excited about this, said Dr Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Not that weve got a cure, but things are falling into place that tell us what goes into the process of infection. So were learning whom we can potentially take o treatment. Does that mean doctors should now encourage HIV patients to stop treatment? Absolutely not, experts agree. There is no way to tell which patient might get lucky, and a vast majority will not. And drug holidays, which were in vogue a few years ago among patients tired of side effects, worked out badly when they were tested in clinical trials. But several experts say the reported cures if conrmed by others do suggest that some Aids policies should change in at least two ways. First, instead of waiting for the infected to wander into testing clinics, health authorities ought to be aggressively seeking them out. Second, those who test positive ought not to dither about taking medication. Early treatment now has three clear benets for patients: They may live longer, may be 96 per cent less likely to infect anyone else, and may turn out to be among the lucky few who can stop later. We should seek out, test, and get people into treatment as soon as we possibly can, Fauci said. That way, you can get people into the position the Visconti cohort is in. (Visconti cohort, for Viro-Immunologic Sustained Control After Treatment Interruption, is a shorthand way of referring to the patients studied by the Pasteur Institute, in France.) The virus march into the body now looks less unstoppable. HIV does not just hide behind cell walls, as u viruses do. It splices a copy of itself right into the genes of certain white blood cells, adding permanent new rungs to each cells DNA ladder. Later, it does the same to cells in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, nerves, and organs. Scientists now can biopsy various cells and force them to spit out some viral RNA, proving that they are infected. Were getting better at dening the reservoirs, said Jerome Zack, an immunologist at the David Geen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. But there are still arguments among scientists about whether there are places deep in the tissues that treatment doesnt reach, and whether or not the virus is still replicating there. The Berlin patient, Timothy Ray Brown, is in his own category. A Seattle native formerly living in Germany, he had been on drugs for 11 years when he developed leukaemia, a blood cancer. That led to the procedure that earned him a place in medical history: In 2006, his German doctors wiped out his bone marrow and gave him marrow from a matching donor who also had the rare delta 32 mutation that makes CD4 cells, the virus favourite target, impervious to HIV. Two weeks ago, doctors at the University of Minnesota performed the same procedure on an unnamed 12-year-old boy with both HIV and leukaemia, using umbilical cord blood from a newborn with the same mutation. It will be months before they know whether it worked. Brown, 47, may still have a hidden viral reservoir, but apparently it cannot infect his blood cells. In an interview from Las Vegas, where he now lives, he said he was very excited by the news of the baby in Mississippi and the French patients. I felt kind of lonely being the only person in the world cured, he said. But typical patients cannot follow his lead. Wiping out bone marrow normally carries a 40 per cent risk of death, and Brown had to have it done twice. His doctor later told him that he thought he had a 95 per cent chance of dying the second time. By contrast, the Mississippi baby was put on full antiretroviral treatment rather than just a typical lower-dose prophylactic regimen, just 30 hours after it was born about three years ago, and stayed on it for 18 months before the mother, for her own reasons, stopped it for ve months. At the next doctors appointment, the baby astonishingly appeared cured. In follow-up research, no matter which cells Dr Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Childrens Center tested, she could not nd any viral RNA. All she found, she said, were graveyard sequences of nonworking DNA, presumably remnants of the initial infection. (The child is still apparently healthy.) Some scientists remained sceptical, saying that the baby might have a reservoir in cells so deep in the body that they could be tested only in an autopsy. In the US, it is unusual for an infected pregnant woman to not see a doctor even once before delivery. But in Africa, the problem is common. If the Mississippi babys experience is repeated probably by chance, because it would be unethical for a doctor to advise a mother to take her infected child o antiretrovirals it may become routine for babies in such circumstances to get an aggressive drug regimen, not just the prophylactic one. By contrast, the French patients went on treatment within weeks or months after infection and stayed on for a year or more. Later, some but only about 15 per cent of them were able to stop their drugs. (NYT)
Undetectable loads
Antiretroviral therapy was rst introduced through the private sector in the late 1990s but only became widely available through the private sector beginning in 20032004. Declines in the price of antiretroviral drugs, abetted in part by generic competition, have enabled the country to progressively increase coverage of antiretroviral treatment.

(methotraxate) in combination with other agents. Two patients who have undergone the therapy, Dr Barasa adds, have shown no signs of the virus for the past six months. Methotrexate is used to treat cancer but is indicated to have very serious side eects and should not be used without advice from a competent physician. Although the drug is available in local pharmacies on prescription, it must never be used without clear instruction from your doctors, says Dr Barasa. The lecturer has since applied for a patent with the Kenya Industrial Property Institute for the treatment process, titled Cure for HIV/Aids Virus. Our methodology is simple, safe, acceptable, and cheap, although not yet scientically validated, says Dr Barasa in his case study. Even though we could not verify the claims, Dr Barasa says two patients, a man aged 29 and a woman aged 40, both of whom had previously been diagnosed with HIV and put on antiretroviral medication,
They have remained with undetectable levels of viral loads six months after the procedure, says Dr Barasa who, on the road to this treatment together with his colleagues, regularly sought advice from both Mr Brown and his doctor through email exchanges. In one such communication they wrote to the cured patient: We are working diligently here in Kenya to see if we can achieve the same status as you did by interfering with the bone marrow, which is the critical reservoir for the virus. Dr Isaac Orina, a neuroscientist and chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Technical University of Kenya, says it is too early to celebrate victory since the HIV/Aids war is far from over . The disease is still a signicant health threat in the world, says Dr Orina, but whether its going to be a complete cure for HIV or not, the fact remains that functional cure has a huge potential in eradicating the pandemic. A lot of research is, however, needed, and we are closely following Dr Barasas work. We hope the university will work with him once the preliminary ndings are scientically validated. Dr Orina says what Dr Barasa and other doctors around the world are doing is very interesting and can be an important step towards getting rid of the HIV virus. The only thing that we need is government support. Most scientists here lack funds to conduct research on such essential health issues, he concludes. As he waits for funds, Dr Barasa is holed up in his laboratory, shaking the tree of science.
Infected numbers on the rise

Unaids reports that, as of December 2011, 1.6 million people in Kenya were living with HIV. With HIV-infected individuals living longer as a result of increased treatment access, the agency reports, Kenya projects that the number of people living with HIV will continue to grow, placing continuing demands on health and social service systems. However, there is considerable good news to report. Adult HIV prevalence in 2010 (6.2 per cent) is about 40 per cent lower than at the epidemics peak. The number of new HIV infections among adults in 2010 was less than one-third the number reported in 1993, when the countrys epidemic peaked. An estimated 49,126 people died of Aids-related causes in 2011, slightly more than one-third the annual number who died in 20022004. Sexual transmission is the primary driver of Kenyas epidemic. Heterosexual transmission within a union or primary partnership accounts for an estimated 44 per cent of new infections. Among adults living with HIV, women represent 58 per cent of prevalent infections. The large number of sexually acquired HIV infections among women has given rise to substantial transmission to newborns, with an estimated 12,894 children in Kenya becoming newly infected in 2011. With 43 per cent of the countrys population under age 15, the future of HIV in Kenya will in large measure be determined by success in preventing new infections among the millions of young people who will become sexually active in the next few years.

MAKE ORGAN DONATION A MUST
A friend of mine has to regularly drive her ailing father to a local hospital for dialysis. Her father suered kidney failure and has been in need of one for a while now. The fees for dialysis are exorbitant and the whole process is emotionally draining. As I was speaking to her about her ordeal, I had a brilliant idea concerning the predicament. It seemed to me to be blue-sky, bold, and fresh: A law that would make all dead bodies automatically the property of the state in order to make organ harvesting possible. If people refuse to hand over their organs to save the living, the state should intervene. It is not only organ harvesting that would benet from such a law, but also teaching medicine. Friends studying medicine at the University of Nairobi have complained about the quality of human cadavers they use. One cadaver had multiple bullet wounds and was nicknamed 50 Cent, after the American rapper who was shot nine times. Another body, I was told, had clearly been stabbed. Donating

bodies that did not meet so grisly an end would provide better physical specimen and aid in the teaching of medicine. In fact, a while back there was a shortage of bodies for teaching and those available were the unclaimed from mortuaries. Why should all those good kidneys be buried with the dead when the living are in need of them? Kidney transplants are rare and expensive and there is a shortage of the organ. The main hindrance to achieving this goal is, of course, religion and taboo. The government sometimes ought to drag a people upward and do what is best for them despite their complaints. Your rights of autonomy over your body cease when you die and, unless foul play is suspected, you really should seek to have your body better those you leave behind. It is noble, kind, and the greatest act of altruism imaginable. If you can donate blood, why not go the whole hog and donate organs?

Have you heard the good news? Pastor Reinhard Bonnke is headed our way with yet another crusade. Pass the collection plate. But I am worried. Eastern Germany, where Reinhard Bonnke was born, is the most godless place on earth, with over 50 per cent of the population identifying themselves as atheists. Even after the fall of communism a secular religion that permitted no competing deities the young have resisted conversion to the religious ways of their more Christian West German countrymen. They are actually sending missionaries from all over the world to East Germany to preach the good news and introduce them to Christianity. Meanwhile, Bonnke is coming to Kenya, where a staggering 80 per cent identify as Christians while in his Eastern Germany 52 per cent identify as atheists. Have we not heard the Word better than your countrymen? Should charity and ministry not begin (and hopefully stay forevermore) at home? Does Kenya really need another crusade? We should not allow foreigners to come to Kenya to do jobs that can be done by Kenyans. Numerous Kenyan preachers have been preaching, delivering, testifying, healing, scheming, prophesying, and proclaiming the Word for years now. What dierence would he make?

ccording to the Transport permanent secretary, the government will review traffic laws and impose cashless payment on commuters by requiring them to use a card. They claim this method will help investors save the money lost to rogue drivers and their conductors. It will also reduce corruption on the roads since drivers will no longer have money to bribe policemen. This bold statement was delivered at the launch of Bebapay, a cashless solution partnership between Equity Bank and Google. Is inefficiency in the private transport industrys revenue collection system really the governments problem? I had not heard the government complain much about it. It seems the government has discovered how essential it was to solve this revenue problem when companies came up with the Beba card. Is this problem really worth the governments time or is it simply a chance to showcase available technology by private companies?
It did come, after all, after Google showcased its product and a few advertorials in the business pages of how this product will revolutionise payments. Obviously, companies behind this initiative want to make money while seeking more data about us. Making it a requirement to only use cards to access transport system seems like a footnote from Orwells dystopian novel, 1984. It makes it easy for the government to collect vast amounts of data concerning citizens and their movements. Computer algorithms will then mine the data, detrend it, crunch it, and use every

of one such top-up card I used recently was Sh200, which required you to commit to using the company for at least several trips. Also, one added requirement was that you open or at least link it with a Google Mail (gmail) account, which seems superuous until you recall that the company intends to market its products to you. The card makes you an easy target for advertisements. A rule enforcing the use of smartcards for transport would also favour large companies offering transport services since they already have large user bases and therefore have more data to work with. It will favour the coalescing of the market among a few big players and knock individual vehicle owners out. They will also nd it easier and cheaper to t in the technological infrastructure to service the system. Already, companies use data gleaned from you to know what services to oer you. For example, the Business Daily last year reported how Safaricom monitors how often you load airtime and how often you use data and money platforms to know how well you are a suitable candidate for their loans. This close monitoring of behaviour, coupled with personal details, is used to reduce risk of bad loans. The company could also track you down if you default, but often the numbers involved are rather small. What I worry about is a future where big companies decide to collude. They would know who has how much, what you like, and how much they can take you for. I do not have a supermarket card for loyalty and it is not because I am a Luddite. They seek to study your buying habits in order to better know how to shake you down better. They can also measure whether advertising campaigns are working and how better to get you to spend your money through your buying data. Also, I think the idea of a loyalty to a company is risible. This transport efficiency we are being oered could be used to Trojanhorse control and exploitation into the equation. The question you should ask is why the government would seek to devote time and money on a system that is already set up by private companies that seek to gain from it.

Philanthropist Vijoo Rattansi could become the rst competitively recruited chancellor of a public university. The chairperson of the Rattansi Educational Trust (RET), a family charity that contributes up to Sh12 million annually to sponsor the education of students from poor families, has been ranked rst in a recruitment to ll the position of chancellor of Moi University. The process led by the Moi University Alumni Association found Mrs Rattansi the best from an initial short-list of 44 qualied candidates. Mrs Rattansi has been ranked rst in the nal short-list of three candidates. Ranked second is former National Aids Control Council chairperson, Prof Miriam Were. The present chancellor, Prof Bethwel Ogot, is third. The three names will be forwarded to the Education Cabinet Secretary, who will then pass them to the President for appointment. Mrs Rattansi has shepherded the growth of RET for nearly 10 years since her husband, Hassanally Rattansi, passed on. The charity has been in existence for more than 55 years. Following a decision arrived at on April 5, the Moi University council sent two of its senior ocials on leave to allow a fresh recruitment of people to ll their oces. Those who proceeded on leave were acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (administration and nance), Prof James Sang and his student aairs counterpart Prof K. ole Karei. Vice-Chancellor Richard Mibey said the two had a chance to proceed on sabbatical leave if they so wished. They have both served at the university since its inception in 1984. Moi university has also scrapped the positions of chief administrative ocer and that of chief academic ocer along with their deputies. The decision is seen as a move to seal administrative loopholes following the discovery of a fraudulent attempt to withdraw money from the universitys bank account. Investigations are going on.
Laptop plan unlikely to have relevant outcome

If similar projects in some African countries have failed to impress, what informs Kenyan leaders that it will be a worthy investment?

xperience and research from both industrialised and fastgrowing economies indicate that a good public policy is one that takes into account a practical problem, gives alternative policy options, has relevant outcomes, and is cost-eective. The one laptop-per-child project to be launched in public primary schools next year is not informed by policy analysis. It will have very little impact on the learning outcomes, leave alone instilling and nurturing scientific and technological minds in young Kenyans. This expensive project, based on a campaign promise, is misplaced for a number of reasons. First, it is not based on identied priority problems, gaps, and challenges currently facing basic education in Kenya. Second, it does not take into consideration alternative cost-eective polices that have the potential of improving basic literacy and of nurturing scientific and technological minds among young people. Third, it is not based on evidence that it will have a positive outcome. Thus, it could result in a waste of resources. In the past ve years, the onelaptop-per-child initiative has been piloted elsewhere in Africa and South America. In particular, Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, Peru, and Uruguay have tried it, but their initiatives have largely remained pilot projects. Emerging evaluation indicates mixed results on the impact of such gadgets on learning outcomes. Some studies indicate that there is no causal link between using notebooks and mastery or development of literacy and numeracy. The studies have not found marked dierences between children using the gadgets compared to those without them. If the implementation of similar projects in other African countries have failed to impress, what informs Kenyan leaders and policy makers that the initial cost of Sh25 billion for laptops to 700,000 children
KITENGELA COLLEGE GETS KNEC, KASNEB APPROVAL

Apogee Institute of Professionals has been accredited by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and the Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board (KASNEB) as an examination centre. Students at the year-old private college in Kitengela town have been sitting their exams in other institutions in Nairobi. Now that KNEC and KASNEB have approved the institute, students will not have to travel far to sit exams set by these bodies. This is a great achievement to us as a growing institution in Kajiado County, said the director, Mr Moses Mureithi. The accreditation also means that the institution can host students from elsewhere for KNEC and KASNEB exams. We have spacious lecture halls that can host over 300 students during the examinations. We urge students in the area to take advantage of that instead of registering for the exams in far-ung places, said Mr Mureithi. Apogee Institute oers mainly business professional courses such as accounting, sales, and supply chain management at certicate and diploma level as well as ICT, social work, and early childhood education studies. dn2@ke.nationmedia.com

With all the basic problems facing the education system, providing laptops to a Standard One pupil does not make policy sense
joining Standard One next year will be a worthy investment? Implementing this project in Kenya will be made more complicated by a number of other realities, the rst being that a relevant curriculum content has not been developed and digitalised for use on laptops. Moreover, there are thousands of pupils who learn under trees or in poorly built or maintained structures that lack basic school facilities. They have no basic motivation to learn. What lessons have the Ministry of Education learned from the on-
going pilot project in Form Three and Four to test digital curriculum? What lessons has the ministry learnt from the pilot project on computers in some selected secondary schools in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu? Evidence from researchers and practitioners indicates that Kenyas education system faces whole system challenges. President Uhuru Kenyatta might want to rst deal with these.

CAREER
SO YOU WANT TO BE A FASHION DESIGNER...
SMART MOVES
Can you draw and make the cut?

BY EVERLINE OKEWO
eokewo@ke.nationmedia.com sk Kenneth Ouko what qualication one needs to become a fashion designer and he will begin by making the point that certication, though good, is not a must. Most important, he argues, is to have a combination of drawing, sewing and design skills, capped with a desire to know the goingson in the fashion industry and the perseverance to stay relevant in its dynamics. Anyone with these attributes can become a fashion designer, he stresses. But it takes a little more than just having an idea for a style in mind. Mr Ouko says his desire to venture into the business was informed by the skills he acquired in primary school about 20 years ago. I had a passion for home science, given that it was a practical course that enabled us to share our experiences in class, he recalls. Now aged 30, he is proud that even though nancial constraints could not allow him to go beyond Form Three, he has achieved his ambition of becoming a well-known fashion designer in Oyugis Town, Homa Bay County, where he is based. He also runs a design school called Kens Fashion Design. Successful fashion designers, he says, must possess a wide range of skills, including an eye for colour and texture, the ability to visualise concepts in three dimensions, and the mechanical skills involved in sewing and cutting fabrics. A fashion designer is involved in creating fashions for the next generation, and that might be 10 years into the future, advises Mr Ouko. His unique skills of drawing and putting ideas together has enabled him to win the hearts
Study explains how posture can remove anxiety

Watch celebrities on the red carpet, or models on a runway, and you will undoubtedly see the classic stop-for-the-ashing-cameras stance: chest out, legs apart, head level, usually with a hand on the hip. It turns out that this pose not only best shows o what they are wearing, but might also send reassuring signals to their brains that they are capable and competent. A urry of social-science research over the last three years indicates such expansive postures release a ood of hormones that make you feel more positive and at ease, even if you were a quivering mess of self-doubt beforehand. Striking a commanding pose, whether you are in a sparkling gown or frayed jeans, can change how you perceive yourself, which ultimately inuences how you are seen by others. The idea that posture is indicative of mental state is not new. However, the latest research suggests posture may precipitate, rather than just reect, emotions. How you carry yourself can actually change your mood, which greatly aects how you approach situations and solve problems, as well as how attractive you appear to those around you. Poses are powerful, says Amy Cuddy, a social psychologist and associate professor at Harvard Business School. With colleagues, she has through a series of controlled experiments shown that assuming an expansive pose for two minutes will increase testosterone and lower cortisol in your bloodstream. Cuddys TED talk on the subject has gone viral on the Internet, now with almost four million views. Her research builds on other studies published since 2010, one of which showed recovering alcoholics were less likely to relapse if they had an expansive versus a slouched posture. Another showed that subjects made to assume erect and open postures were more likely to take the initiative in various tasks compared with cohorts who were forced into closed and constricted postures. So, how long do the eects of a power pose last? Researchers say the hormonal changes persist for at least 15 to 20 minutes. But Dana Carney, a social psychologist who studies power dynamics and posture at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, says: It could start a physiological cascade that lasts all day. In a job interview where pung your chest wouldnt be appropriate, you can stretch expansively beforehand on the bus, in the elevator, in the waiting room, Carney advises. Then you kick it o feeling good. You present well. People respond well, and boom, a positive cycle begins. A consultant to aspiring politicians and business leaders John Nenger, advises spreading arms and legs to form an X before any stressful situation, be it a speech, meeting, cocktail party, parent-teacher conference or doctors appointment. Also witness to the transformative power of posture is Joe Navarro, a former FBI agent with expertise in non-verbal communication and author of several books on the subject. When the military or police academies make recruits stand a certain way, it not only changes the perception of others but also their perceptions of themselves, he says. Broader postures really do pump you up and make you feel better. To look and perform your best, academic and image experts recommend a two-minute power pose before any stressful situation. During the event, keep an expansive posture with your chest out, but not pued, and keep your head level or slightly raised. If opening up your body feels forced, unnatural and unprotected, researchers advise that you fake it until you become the assured person your stance says you are. Its about becoming so comfortable and feeling you have so much control over how you present yourself that you become more your authentic self, says Cuddy of Harvard. Its about quieting all those voices that say I dont belong . The New York Times Syndicate

modules. Each module takes a week. The entire course takes three months. As much as fashion design requires talent and creativity, it is also necessary to get business and marketing knowledge in the industry. For this reason, designers should keep themselves updated on the happenings in the fashion industry by regularly reading trade journals and other marketing products. The challenge for local designers, he says, is the importation of trendy and classy wears. Research shows that the inux of synthetic bre and the growing popularity of secondhand clothes pose the greatest
challenge to the revival of the cotton and textile industries in the country. The few that operate, according to Mr Ouko, produce low quality fabrics, thereby limiting the quality of the outts made from them. The result is not-so-good earnings. We hope that the county government will revive some of the big textile companies in the town to enable them to sustain demand for good fabrics, says Ouko. Presently, he and fellow fashion designers and tailors in the region have to order fabrics from other parts of the country, leading to expenses that they could avoid.

million school-age children who are out of school. They cannot access quality basic education, which is a constitutional right. For the past 10 years, about 200,000 young Kenyans have terminated their education at primary level. The education sector lacks about 100,000 teachers to manage schools and teaching-learning processes. The teacher-pupil ratio at primary school is about 1:80 instead of the required 1:40 in a developing country like Kenya. Many public schools have limited infrastructure and do not have enough of the most basic facilities such as classrooms and sanitation structures. Many have dilapidated facilities that are not conducive for eective learning. In 2013, pupils are still learning under trees or sitting on stones in some parts of the country. It is a shame. Many teachers are not motivated and remain in the classrooms for as long as they have not found an alternative. There are millions of hungry and angry school-going children in neglected regions and urban slums. They need health, shelter, and educational support. With all these basic problems facing the education system, providing laptops to a Standard One pupil does not make policy sense. Experience has shown that computer literacy can be developed outside the ordinary school system, especially in countries like Kenya, where basic facilities for schooling are still lacking. Given resource limitations, this country should not be driven by the wave of computerising learning the model of rich Western countries. These countries manufacture the gadgets. They have relevant curriculum content ready and have enough teachers. Given Kenyas stage and state of development, this copycat mentality of trying to do things as done in industrialised countries can be costly. East Asian countries like Singapore, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia have often been cited as successful cases of human capital development. It is because of evidence-based policy analysis, investment in teacher education and professional development, and investment in teaching-learning infrastructure and resources (classrooms and textbooks) at basic education level. It is also because of investment in research and innovations at higher education level. These countries have turned education into a functional engine of growth. They do not just perceive it as a social service. Based on what we lack in our education system, the government should focus on the basics if we are to improve access to basic quality education for all. We should look for investment that can improve basic literacy and numeracy and lay a foundation for science and innovation. Putting money in laptops is not one of these basic priorities.

STUDYING ABROAD
Popular degrees that wont guarantee a job

BY MAHUL SHAH
mahul@aec-australia.com o, what are you going to study at university? Hopefully, it will be something that you like, something you are good at and which will make you employable or set you o on a good career. Did you know that as a high school graduate you will earn 40 per cent less than someone with a Bachelors degree and that you are more than twice likely to be unemployed? However, that is only true if your degree of study has good value. Graduates with certain majors sometimes end up worse o in the job market than high school leavers. How then do you choose a degree and be sure that you will not be included in the statistics of graduates with qualications that do not help much when it comes to employment? According to The Telegraph of the UK, the 10 most popular degrees that students are enrolling for in the country are nursing, business and management, design, law, psychology, medicine, computer science, English studies, social work, and sports science. Bear in mind that these are the most popular degree courses. Can they all
lead to a good job? The top degree courses in terms of employability are physical sciences, mathematical sciences, historical and philosophical studies, languages, biological sciences, agriculture, law, degrees allied to health sciences, education, medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science. You may ask how degrees in historical and philosophical studies or languages will get you a job. It all comes down to supply and demand. As you can see, these are not popular degrees, so the few graduates would be in demand. The correlations between popularity and getting a job show that law, medicine, and health sciences will always be a safe bet. However, these degrees require high grades and someone with a very strong academic demeanour. Degrees that tend to record high unemployment rates include English studies, sociology, drama and theatre arts, liberal arts, studio arts, graphic design, philosophy and religious studies, lm and photography, ne arts, and anthropology. Most of these degrees are arts-based. In Western countries, they have an unemployment rate of more than 10 per cent. Chances are that the unemployment rate for these in Kenya would be higher.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are degrees around the world that would be considered pointless. Imagine going home and telling your parents that you wanted to enrol in a degree called David Beckham Studies, or Oprah Winfrey Studies? Or that you want to work with the paranormal and so you wish to enrol in a degree in parapsychology or a PhD in Ufology (study of UFOs). If you want to spend your time around the beach, then there are degrees in surf science and technology. A university in the US oers a degree in Star Trek. Education should be a liberating experience. It is all about a journey of
discovery and learning. While I have written about these unusual degrees, they should be taken tongue-in-cheek. I do not see a parent from Kenya spending millions to send a child abroad for such degrees. What a student needs to look for is a balance between what they like and what degrees lead to employment. Finding this balance can be dicult. Go out there and get work experience, talk to people in industry, and do your own research so that you can make an informed decision.

How some rms use social media to hoodwink public

A social media account is one of those things that the marketing manager or director sets up to keep the boss happy, get a bigger budget, retain their job, and appear to be with it . The managers must wake up and switch on social media before they open the oce doors. Such companies rely on social media for marketing, making announcements, and more importantly, providing customer service. Yes, placing a call to complain to someone is being replaced by social media. In some ways, it is a good means of understanding the issues that your customers may raise and to gauge feedback. Its also a cost-eective way to deal with queries. But what do companies do on social media when they dont understand what is going on, or much worse, when they dont have the right answer to issues being raised? Obfuscation Ever seen someone tweet, I have a problem with product ABC. How do I x it? The company may be clueless, so they respond, Send us your number and we will get in touch . But whats happening on the other side inside the company? Horror and panic. Obfuscation. The company could even hatch up a cover up plan if they have no solution. Sometimes they may genuinely want to call you to get more details, but half the time, they are buying time to gure out what to tell the customer or in the hope that the customer gives up and goes away. The beauty about technology is that you can hide behind cheaply maintained electric walls. Diversion Another tactic is to go on a dierent tangent. So you have a genuine problem, and there does not seem to be a solution, what then? The company focuses on another issue that they can x. Why? It keeps you busy and less focused on what you need xed. A month later, you realise that you have attained nothing. Social media is very good when it comes to attention diversion. And if you havent noticed, social media is growing. Obstruction This is probably the number one tactic for preventing people from asking too many questions. Complain too much about a company and you get blocked . In some cases, they report you as a spammer or a troll . A troll in this case is someone who generally posts inammatory remarks, or even goes o topic. After all, a corporate company with millions of followers is certain to beat you with your 50 or so followers in social media, right? Fake apologies Ever called a customer service line and they told you how sorry they were about the poor experience youve had? Ever notice how they empathise with you and express concern? It is common with the ISPs and mobile network providers. Less genuine is apologising on social media. The cherry on top is to even issue a press release on the website or in mainstream media expressing concern about the quality of service and how they are working night and day to x it. At the end of the day, people go home and the problem is pushed to the next day. In the real world, companies are supposed to be proactive, thus understanding that in their technology, things could go wrong and it needs to be xed within a specic time. When they dont, they apologise, but, they still do not solve the problem. Why? For much of the time, it is outside of their budgets and there are shareholders to please. So, what is one complaining customer, who can be side-stepped? Therefore, when you retweet an apology or like one by a company, remember this: you are simply buying into the mendacity. Social media is now the easiest way for companies to get out of trouble in the face of the public. kahenya@virn.net

Latest Internet and mobile apps designed to help learners

BY WILSON MANYUIRA
wilsonmanyuira@yahoo.com INTERNET AND EDUCATION are no strange bed fellows. From websites for online registration, portals for internal communication and softwares for virtual learning, we now even have a website for reporting corrupt lecturers (Kenya.notinmycountry.org). In the past few months, websites, softwares and mobile apps aimed at Kenyas education sector have been created. We examine some of the latest inventions in this sector. Uni-soft One of the mobile apps is Uni-soft. It was created by John Manguru and Muriithi Wachira. The two are computer engineering students at Kenyatta University. Uni-soft is a one-stop mobile application that provides academic information about universities, colleges and polytechnics that are approved in Kenya, Manguru volunteers. You do not have to run up and down collecting pamphlets and enquiring about institutions that you are willing to join. Uni-soft does that for you. So how does the app function? It starts with one downloading the app from Ovistore and Getjar free of charge, followed by creation of an account. By use of a search dialogue box, Uni-soft displays the cut-o points for enrolling in degree programmes in dierent universities, and oers other details, Wachira explains. He and Manguru have co-founded AppFrame Developers, an ICT company through which they wish to foster their techpreneurial skills. Critics dismiss Uni-soft as a good innovation with no tangible benets. Wachira laughs it o and says: Anything that saves you time, money and energy by making work easier is denitely a relief. The two expect to get revenue through commercial adverts that can be incorporated on the application. Shakili.com The most recent creation is Shakili.com. It went live on April 13. It is owned by a company called socialProClubs. The website name is derived from the words share and akili the latter being Kiswahili for knowledge. Shakili, therefore, stands for, share Knowledge. It is the brain child of Muthuri Kinyamu, a Bachelor of Commerce graduate of the University of Nairobi, a blogger, social media strategist and the CEO or SocialProClubs. He explains what it is about: Shakili.com is a hybrid learning platform that connects educators to students by enabling users to set up e-schools to share knowledge and content. He continues: Through shakily, lecturers and teachers can create, upload and share digital educational content in various formats with students, thus making learning more fun and enjoyable. The idea developed after the Information PS, Dr Bitange Ndemo, gave a keynote speech during the launching of socialProClubs at the University of Nairobi and hinted at potential business areas in education. A bulb lit in Mr Muthuri head and he approached a designer and a software engineer to put together his ideas into action. Nick Stewart a graphic designer and art director, and Zack Kiuna, a computer engineer and a PHP developer at Squad solution, were instrumental in actualising his dreams. The three of them worked for close to six months before unveiling their work in mid April. How does one use the website? To use shakili.com, one creates an account and then logs on to create schools and join others that have been created by other users, explains Muthuri. A school in this context is an equivalent of a faculty, college, or department in a university. After creating or joining schools, one can search to see if his/her course has been added by someone else or not. If not, you add and then begin uploading educational materials that are relevant to the course, Mr Muthuri adds. Our focus now is not to make money but to build a platform that delivers local educational content in a social and organised way for downloading and viewing anywhere, anytime, he concludes. Kenyaschoolreport.com This site combines most of the features in the other two innovations. It was founded by Abraham Tumuti, the CEO of Greda Studio Ltd-Kenya. Apart from ranking schools of all levels, Kenyaschoolreport.com also provides detailed information about the schools, colleges, and universities in the country. This helps to educate students and parents when making a selection. Mr Tumuti holds a BSc in management information systems. The information is classied into dierent strata, according to their perceived relevance to specic users. For example, educators will get information about professional development, special needs students, technology for teaching and educational resources, among others. A student will get information about careers, scholarships, learning tools, and so on. Administrators of learning institutions can access information on school safety, administration, school management tools, special reports and news and events about education. The learning institutions are ranked on diverse factors, including class size, teacher training and continuing professional development, school programmes, amenities, use of technology, and, academic excellence. The institutions can be searched on the basis of the grade level (primary, Secondary, tertiary, university), type of school (private or public) and the constituency it is located in.

Either my wife is lazy, loose,
RELATIONSHIPS
philip kitoto
Dear Mr. Kitoto, I am 35 and married to a 30-year-old woman for the past three years. We started dating while she was in college and I noticed that whenever she visited, she would not readily do household chores. I discussed this with her and she explained that she did not want to appear to be in competition with my nephew, who was living with me then. But even after marriage she did not change and the situation has degenerated to the extent that she sometimes forgets to make the bed before leaving for work. When I ask, she claims to have been in a hurry. Utensils can remain unwashed for several days. The same applies to house cleaning. Communication has failed between us because whenever I raise an issue, she either starts shouting or withdraws completely and refuses to talk to me, sometimes for two days. At one point, I suggested that we engage a part-time house help. She would fail to give clear directions to the house maid, only to make noise when things were not done to her satisfaction. That would be the order of things and each of the three women we tried left within two or so weeks. When I pointed out to her where I
thought the problem was, she accused me of siding with the house helps. She continued to communicate with former boyfriends and other men. She would insist that there was nothing between them and claim that I was being jealous and insecure. I found two text messages on her phone which conrmed my fears she has had an aair. She has not shown any regard for my family. She does not call my parents and siblings. Even when we go home and my parents give us produce to carry back to our place, she does not give a single cent as a sign of appreciation. One time I invited my mother to our house on short notice after a cousins wedding. My wife complained and insisted that she was too tired to cook for a visitor who was only passing by at night and would leave the following morning. Though I put my foot down on this, she showed displeasure openly and did not oer my mother anything when she was leaving the next day. In contrast, her family members can visit any time, stay for as long as they wish, and she gives them fare when they are leaving. I also give them assistance whenever necessary.
She has not bought any household item, not even for the kitchen. One time she suggested that I buy certain items and when I asked if she would contribute, the answer was that she was committed to paying school fees for her younger sister. She had never mentioned that before. Recently, we visited a gynaecologist to nd out why we had not managed to conceive. It turned out that she had carried out an abortion before we met. The doctor put her on medication and also recommended HIV tests. To my surprise she tested positive while mine was negative. We have repeated the tests in different facilities and there is no doubt that we are a discordant couple. My attempts at revisiting the issue of indelity has brought more friction. I can go on and on but I believe you get the gist of my concern. My wife is lazy, does not take responsibility, is promiscuous, nagging, has no respect and regard for me, and seems to be stressed. We once discussed our dierences before an independent party, who emphasised the need to embrace communication in relationships. She has remained uncooperative I have avoided discussing the mat-
ter with family and friends because I want to make an independent decision. I am convinced that this is not what I bargained for. I think I should discontinue the relationship. Kindly advise whether these are genuine concerns or, as she puts it, am I being too petty? Concerned. Hi, There is denitely a problem in the way your wife is responding to the issue of house chores. I am almost tempted to think that it is a product of her upbringing, socialisation, and associations. You may need to revisit the kind of environment she grew up in. Are these the kind of duties she saw women do or is she from an environment where it was every person for themselves? There are many forums through which women and men learn about there duties. Home, school, culture, and many other available associations provide the opportunity to learn how a boy becomes a man and so on. I am, therefore, surprised that she would abandon such responsibilities. Did she not grow up in a home somewhere with parents who understood their roles or a com-

munity that openly displayed the dierent roles between husbands and wives? Your suggestion to get outside help by hiring a house help was good. It seems, however, she lacks people skills and does not know how to manage a home. If this is the case then you may need to nd a couple or a close married friend of hers to help her see the point. On the other hand, if this is an issue of bad company that has led to abandonment of her duties, then it may require that you get the support and services of a counsellor. If, indeed, she has connections or relationships that are unhealthy with other men, it could be the reason for her disregard of your input into the way the home should run. From the way she is relating with your parents, there is denitely something wrong. Could it be connected to her perceptions of what they think of her or is it a clear statement from her to you that what she values is not what you value? This needs to be discussed freely and openly. Ask each other if you are in this marriage for the same reasons. It could just be that you are both riding in two dierent directions. Remember, two cannot walk together unless they are agreed . Some serious dialogue has to take place between the two of you on these crucial areas if some direction is to be found. That said, I am convinced that the latter issue you have raised could be an area of fear and insecurity for her. Maybe she knew all this time that she was HIV-positive, hence her reaction towards you. Persons who discover their HIVpositive status react to the news in dierent ways. While some withdraw, others get agitated all the time. As a result, your actions and reactions towards her will always be measured through this lens that is clouded with anxiety, pain, and fear of an unknown future. Your discovery of her abortion in the past has added to this pain. She could just be feeling unwanted, useless, and lonely in her life journey. Remember that there are many issues facing her; failure to conceive, her HIV status, suspected indelity, and generally all the accusations you have levelled upon her. My advice is that you become her friend. Assure her that you love her regardless of everything. Look for a non-partisan counsellor to help both of you.
MY FIANCE USED ME
WHO IS MY FATHER?
Dear Kitoto, My mother gave birth to me while she was still in school. She left me under the care of my grandparents to complete school. Unfortunately, she died when I was four years old before telling me who my father was. After a number of years, I wanted to know my identity, so I asked my grandmother but she refused to tell me until I was in Form Two. But the only information she gave me was his ethnicity and name. She said there was no need to know him. I felt angry. I really want to know him, whether or not he is alive. My question is; how should I start looking for him? Is there a procedure? Disturbed girl Hi, Losing your mother at such a tender age is challenging. You denitely have missed the care and nurturing of your mother. In addition, your father was never been in your picture. This, with time, has aggravated your feelings. Losing people close to you is not only tough but painful. It leaves a wound that aches more with every passing year. I guess you owe your grandparents some appreciation for all that they have done for you over the years. Pain can make us forget the small but signicant help. Remember, they are the ones who have been with you even when your mother could not aord to take care of you. Why does she not want to tell you where you father is? First, you have to realise that she may genuinely not know who he is. Trying to force this from her may be futile. Maybe all she knows is what she has passed to you. Second, she could know who your father is and either fears losing you or you could end up being hurt more. Therefore, her actions may be a way to protect you from the unknown. Finally, if your grandparents insist that they do not know who your father is, I advise you to move on and not let this matter stress you. You have great grandparents that have loved you and brought you this far. Hang on to what you know and have. As far as the future is concerned, it may just be that your father, if found, may not add value to who you will become. Remember, he abandoned you at a most vulnerable moment. Whatever the case, if by prayer and Gods miracle you get to meet him, this may be the opportunity to express your feelings. In the meantime, deal with the deep feelings that frustrate you concerning the loss of your mother and the fact that your father abandoned you. Your healing will be crucial to developing a healthy outlook to life with or without your father.
Dear Kitoto, I have been in a relationship for ve years with my ance. She is three years older than me. I have never been unfaithful and have always been there for her. Early last year, when she was about to complete college, she got pregnant. Though it was not our plan, I tried all I could to provide for her and the child. When her college results came out and she had not performed well, her attitude towards me changed. She started saying that she needed time alone and that she was not ready to be a wife. A few days later, she started saying that only the truth would set her free. I had no idea what that meant. I later received a strange text from her. It said she had dedicated her life to someone when we rst met and that she used the mans money to be happy with me. The text also said that the man knew about our relationship but that was not enough reason to throw him out of her life. She added that she shared her problems with him and that he was always there for her. She ended by saying that although it hurt, we both beneted. I am now worried that the child might not even be mine despite my name appearing on the birth notication. I am now confused. I have very bad thoughts about her
and I want her out of my life. I never thought that I would ever leave her, but it seems to me to be an option worth considering. Please advise. Dennis Hi, Letters can sometimes be impersonal, so I am trying hard to understand your dilemma. It looks as if your girlfriend knew what she was doing all along. If indeed she loved you, which I really doubt, how could she become so indierent towards you? On the other hand, I see a lot of immaturity and lack of honesty in the way the two of you have handled your relationship. I suggest that you reconsider why you are in this relationship. Blame alone will not help. A clear evaluation of the reasons that have made you pursue this relationship will help you know whether you missed your path or not. As far as she is concerned, she really does not seem to have been committed fully to the relationship. But as far as the child is concerned, your doubts can only be removed or settled in two ways: First, by a true confession from her. But, I do not know if one can trust this. Second, by a professional medical practitioner who can perform a DNA test to ascertain who the father is.
My parents view of him confuses me

Hi Philip? I am 29, hurt, and confused as I write this. I took my anc of two years to meet my parents, but their negative opinion of him worried me. He is four years younger than me and they have told me that they are not comfortable with his age. They say women mature earlier than men and that I should think twice about this as he may eventually leave me for a younger woman.
My anc and I are both okay with the age dierence. He studied up to Form Four and works as a driver while I, coming from a wello family, was able to study to university level. I earn more than him. My parents were also not too happy about this and my mother told my sister that I had lowered my class. I have not told my anc any of this. I was well received at his home and he wanted the marriage negotiations to continue. I am planning to put them on hold for a while. We both love and respect each other and we are okay with who we are but my parents opinion has left me disturbed. What is your advice on age, education, and social status? MW Hi, It is clear from your note that
rst, you love this man although he is younger than you. Second, your decision to put on hold the negotiations is based on the perspective your parents have of your man. Personally, I do not see any problem in a persons age, how much the person earns, or even where he comes from. Basic to any relationship is love. How well do I know the person I am making a choice to love? If you are convinced that his age and nancial status is not a problem, then you should let this guide your future decisions. I think you are trying to please your family in the whole thing. My suggestion is that once you know why you are defending him, it will give you the reason and muchneeded condence in moving forward. Therefore, list down why you feel the strong need to marry this man.
Evaluate your reasons for wanting to marry him against the conicting voices. It will then be clear to you what to do. At the end of the day, whether your parents approve of the marriage or not, it is you who will live with the man, not them.
I cant get a partner as good as my ex

I am a 27. I broke up with the girl I had loved for over 12 years, and now I cannot get a good partner who compares with her. Should I still ght for her even though she has moved on? I am so confused. I cannot get her out of mind. Mughux Hi, If your girl has terminated the relationship and moved on, I pray
that you respect her decision. However, depending on what caused the separation and how long it has been since the two of you have been apart, you could revisit ways of reconciling. If the relationship ended due to irreconcilable dierences, then I suggest that you leave her alone and let her move on with her life. As for you, this is not the end of the world. There are many lovely women around. But before you open up your life to someone else, seek healing from your previous relationship. Review the issues that caused the break-up of a 12-year-relationship. What did you not do right and how can you improve so that you can be a better person in the future? There have to be lessons you have learned from this break-up that will help you relate better in any other relationship you may have.

and fresh outside. Wangui could smell the sweet scent of various owers, freshly cut grass, newly dug earth and a faint smell of droppings from the animals pen. She could also hear the distant sound of a tractor where their neighbour was already busy in his shamba. Inside the house behind her, she could hear her mothers voice and her fathers sleepy replies. He was not yet ready, but would have to get up soon as he had to cycle to school in good time for his rst class of the day. Her father was one of the teachers left in the school to provide extra tuition to Standard Eight pupils. Her older sister, Wanjiku, would stay behind to look after the house and cook for her father until Wangui and her mother returned from Nairobi. At last they were ready and as they walked down towards the main road to the bus stop, Wangui walked proudly next to her mother. She felt very happy, for she knew she looked pretty in her new dress and shoes; she thought her mother looked pretty, too, as she also wore a new dress. Wangui carried a kiondo with some spare clothing for her mother and herselfthe visit was only for three days so they would not need much clothing.
