H
ooded gunmen walked
confidently into the
low-income Soweto
area of Likoni, Mombasa
County, and shot randomly,
killing four people, among
them an 11-year-old girl.
Witnesses said the gang-
sters, numbering between four
and eight, appeared to be on
a mission to kill. A survivor of
the on Sunday night killings,
who came face-to-face with the
gang, said the men walked
majestically and even had
time for greetings before they
opened re in which 10 people
sustained gunshot wounds.
Eight arrested
Last evening, police said
they had made eight arrests
in connection with the kill-
ings that have caused tension
in Mombasa County.
County Police Commander
Robert Kitur said the eight
are believed to be part of the
gunmen, who had disappeared
into a nearby cemetery after
the 8pm incident.
Mr Aban Awuor, who is the
father of Diana Achieng, the
Standard Four pupil who was
killed in the attack, said he
saw four masked men carry-
ing sacks. Little did he know
what they contained.
These guys were heav-
ily armed. They walked to a
kiosk and started talking to
somebody. They suddenly
turned and started ring at us.
One man died on the spot. My
daughter was shot dead at the
entrance of the house as I dived
to the ground, he said.
The girls mother, Elizabeth,
was selling food outside their
house when the shooting
started.
Mr Jeremiah Onoka, who
lost a brother, told the Na-
tion that they had just parted
ways. Minutes later he heard
gunshots.
I heard screams outside and
I couldnt clearly see who the
attackers were. I went to see
my brother at his house just to
nd him lying on the ground,
dead, he recalled.
Mombasa MPs expressed
shock at the attack describing
it as the evil work of people
bent on creating animos-
ity between communities to
destabilise the county.
The politicians who visited
the Coast General Hospital
and Soweto, asked residents
to remain calm, refuse to be
incited, and ignore leaets left
behind by the killers, who are
singling out a specic com-
munity for attack.
Likoni MP Masoud Mwa-
hima, his counterparts
Abdulswamad Nassir (Mvita)
and Hezron Awiti (Nyali) and
Mishi Mboko called for speedy
investigations and asked secu-
rity chiefs to step up the ght
against crime.
The leaets have no sig-
nature, Mr Mwahima said.
This is a way of ensuring the
people of Likoni dont agree
with each other. We dont
like violence. Police should
do better. We want answers
within two days.
Mr Nassir urged the resi-
dents not to allow criminals
to disturb the unity at the
coastal city.
We need to be very keen;

city, and we cannot start
dividing or be divided along
tribal lines. The security of
Kenyans, he said, is a prior-
ity, but the spate of attacks in
the country shows that the
whole security department
has totally failed.
Mr Awiti said: Continue
living peacefully. The other
day they were inciting Chris-
tians against Muslims to ght.
Now they have changed tack to
tribalism. We should not give
in. We want the government to
end this menace.
Ms Mboko said Kenyans
had enough of insecurity and
asked President Kenyatta and
his deputy, Mr William Ruto,
to act.
The acting administrator at
the Coast General Hospital, Dr
Victor Njom, said the institu-
tion received four patients and
three bodies.
He said they treated the
wound for gunshot injuries,
and discharged them.
After a security meet-
ing chaired by County
Commissioner Nelson Marwa
in Mombasa, County Police
Commander Robert Kitur
said police were still pursu-
ing the attackers who took o
on foot.
The attack was being treated
as a criminal oence, he said,
and described the gunmens
leaet as misleading to create
animosity among residents.
The leaets claimed that the
killings were in revenge for the
killings that have rocked Lamu
County in recent weeks.
Mr Marwa talked of elements
bent on causing divisions
among the public and added
that the government would not
give them a chance.
There are people trying to
exploit the situation in Lamu
by extending it to Mombasa.
This will not succeed. We
have a band of criminals
who are being used to cause
insecurity and commotion
among communities. This is
a highly organised thing, Mr
Marwa said.
He urged Likoni residents
not to be duped into ghting
each other.
Escaped death
A resident, Mr Osiya Otieno,
said he escaped death by a
whisker as he dashed to his
house only to be shot on the
left shoulder and hand while
he hurriedly closed the main
door.
I just felt sharp pains on
my shoulder and saw my hand
bleeding. That is when I knew
I had been hit, he said.
Another said four youthful
gunmen in black had their left
leg trousers folded up to the
knee and moved from right to
left while shooting.
Yesterday, most of the M-
Pesa shops and food stores
remained closed for the better
part of the morning.

nspector-General of Police
David Kimaiyo yesterday
relaxed the curfew order
in Lamu County following
complaints from Muslims.
After consultations, ar-
rangements have been made
between Lamu County Secu-
rity Committee, Political and
Muslim leaders to ensure
that Ramadhan timetable
and prayers are not disrupted
by the curfew, he said in a
statement signed jointly with
National Assembly Majority
Leader Aden Duale.
As such, Muslim faith-
ful will go on with the Holy
Month prayers as per Ramad-
han schedule. Otherwise, the
curfew is in force as issued
by the Inspector-General and
Lamu residents are advised to
observe the same.
The statement, however,
did not elaborate on how the
curfew would be enforced if
Muslim attendance at prayers
would not be disrupted, and
if it still applied equally to
groups in Lamu.
The police chief issued the
order on Saturday imposing
a dusk to dawn curfew after a
series of gun attacks that left
dozens of people dead over the
last month.
It requires residents of the
area to remain indoors be-
tween 6.30pm and 6.30am,
from July 20 to August 20.
Mr Duale immediately
contested the order and
asked Muslims in Lamu to
defy the curfew. There were
also demonstrations in the
county organised by political
and religious leaders.
The revised order just a day
after Mr Duale told Muslims
to disregard the police notice
and the civil society gave the
government 48 hours to re-
scind the decision.
Mr Duale further threatened
legal redress in the event Mr
Kimaiyo declined to back
down.
Muslims across the world
are marking the period with
fasting and prayers that re-
quire them to be at the mosque
beyond the times stipulated by
Mr Kimaiyo.
The last 10 days of Ram-
adhan are very special days
in the life of every Muslim;
they are the most blessed
days in the blessed month of
Ramadhan, because its in the
Holy Month that the Quran
was revealed, Mr Duale said
in an earlier statement.
County Commissioner Miiri
Njenga called a special County
Security Committee to address
the religious issues.
The curfew was opposed by
Muslims for Human Rights
(Muhuri) ocial Khelef Kha-
lifa and Haki Africa executive
director Hussein Khalid. They
termed it an aront to Mus-
lims freedom of movement
and worship.
Lamu West MP Shariff
Athman had also asked the
government to respect the
Constitution and Muslims
right of worship.
The Council of Imams
and Preachers of Kenya also
opposed the curfew. Speak-
ing at a news conference at
their Mombasa oce before
the order was relaxed, or-
ganising secretary Sheikh
Mohamed Khalifa, secretary-
general Sheikh Muhamad Dor,
treasurer Sheikh Hassan Sulei-
man and national coordinator
Sheikh Fowzy Twaha asked
Mr Kimaiyo to lift the curfew
promptly.
They said it would interfere

Elizabeth Otieno (mother
of slain girl, Diana Achieng).
- She was about to close her
food stall when the attackers
stormed in. She recalled
seeing five men four
remained standing as their
other colleague took a seat.
She immediately suspected
they were up to no good.
It appeared to me like
one of them was bending to
pick up something from the
ground. Then he greeted us
and when we responded, he
raised his hand and shot in
the air. I started shouting
as I ran away and fell down
there at the corner, recalled
Ms Otieno (right).
When the guns fell silent,
Ms Otieno went back to check
on her children only to nd
Diana, her fth child, lying
still with blood all over her
face. Only two months ago,
Elizabeth lost another child
to sickness.
The government cannot
give me back my daughter. But
let them give us security, was
her agonised plea.
Isaiah Otieno was watching
TV when he heard gunshots
followed by a womans
screams. As he was about to
get out and check, the gunmen
opened re on his house.
He was hit twice in the
shoulder and hand by the
shrapnel. He was injured on
the neck.
I am still at a loss why gun-
men continue to walk freely
with the police not making
any arrests, he said.
Alice Oketch was in a
butchery with other people
when they heard gunshots and
dashed for cover. When they
came out of their hideout, the
gunmen shot at them.
I felt pain in my leg and
when I looked down, my dress
had a hole in it. The bullet had
gone through my dress and hit
a woman who was standing
next to me, she said.
The gunmen then went to a
nearby M-Pesa outlet and shot
the man who was inside.
The residents were dis-
mayed at the slow response
by police.
Police have in the past
been coming here regularly
on motorbikes hunting illegal
alcohol brewers. We wonder
why they did not respond with
the same speed when the at-
tackers came, said a resident,
Mr Mohamed Noor.

C
ases of fatal attacks against spouses
have been on the increase across
the country.
This has raised questions on what could
be triggering the killings and fuelling the
epidemic that has left many families in
shock and tears.
Three months ago, a 32-year-old man
in Kili killed his neighbour with a panga,
accusing him of having an aair with his
wife. He then turned the weapon on his
wife before slitting his throat.
The local chief said that the man had
reported the indelity to him but attempts
to reconcile them had borne no fruit.
In yet another case four months ago, a
37-year-old man from Muhoroni in Kisumu
County poisoned his wife, 10-month-old
baby and their househelp before hanging
himself. Those who knew the couple told
the Daily Nation that Fredrick Muhindi had
complained that his wife, Eunice, had been
involved in an extra-marital aair.
Just as shocking was the case of Paul
Mwangi who, in 2010, stabbed his wife of
over 10 years, Serah Wambui, to death and
then turned the murder weapon against
his sleeping children, a 10-year-old and
a one-year-old. He would have killed his
third son too had the boy not escaped his
fathers wrath. Mwangi, a casual labourer,
then hanged himself in the same room in
which his family lay in a pool of blood.
His mother, Sarah Muthoni, could not
understand why her son had committed
the beastly act yet he had stopped taking
alcohol and there was no evidence that he
was troubled.
What could be making some spouses turn
against their loved ones and children?
Experts single out various triggers of this
shocking violence. The two common ones
are money-related stress and indelity.
Financial diculties can weigh anyone
down, and if one has been going through
a very dicult nancial period for a long
time, it can push some to despair, to the
point of becoming suicidal, said Dr Dan
Mugera, a counselling and organisational
psychologist.
According to him, indelity also has the
potential to cause psychological trauma
that can trigger violent behaviour, in-
cluding murder. He said that spouses can
hit out against their loved ones in act of
revenge.
But why kill innocent children?
Such a person reasons that in his ab-
sence, the children will suer. In his mind,
killing them will spare them the suering he
foresees. However, there are some who kill
their children to make their spouse suer,
said Dr Mugera.
In a few instances, a spouse can turn his
or her anger on ones family when there is
a threat of separation or divorce. This hap-
pens in cases where the spouse threatens
to leave, or actually leaves.
This was what happened to a 23-year-old
man from Kirinyaga County who stabbed
his estranged 19-year-old wife to death
and then hanged himself. Eunice Wanjiru
was living with a relative after eeing her
matrimonial home in 2013 following a
domestic quarrel.
Her husband visited her there, and when
no one was looking, stabbed her to death
before eeing. His body was found a few
days later.
Financial challenges that show no signs
of relenting can sow discord in a marriage,
even one that was stable and happy.
If you can no longer aord to educate
your children, feed and clothe your family,
it can aect you adversely it becomes
worse if your spouse does not support you,
or blames you for your predicament, said
Ms Eunice Kamau, a counsellor. Her ex-
planation is borne out by one particular
incident.
In October 2012, a 30-year-old man slit
his wifes throat and then hanged him-
self. The couple, who had been married
for one-and-a-half years, used to argue
constantly, with the woman accusing her
husband of failing to pay rent and school
fees for their son.
Tellingly, neighbours said the man had
tried to commit suicide a day before he
killed his wife, but survived after jump-

Male suspects arrested by police for murder

There were 60 cases of infanticide that year
ing from the seventh oor of the ats he
lived.
Although the action of killers within the
family come as a shock to other people,
psychologists argue that in some instances
there are those who kill to protect their
family. The logic, however twisted, of a
desperate man taking his life and that of
his family, says counselling psychologist
Shadrack Kirunga, is to protect ones
family from suering, shame and other
perceived situations that he feels are too
much to handle.
Relatives always seem surprised that
someone they knew so well could kill a
spouse. Are there warning signs, or do
these individuals simply snap one day
and go wielding a panga?
There may be forewarning in some
cases. For instance, it is easy to notice when
your spouse is sinking into depression, or
showing signs of mental disturbance. If
this is connected to a known challenge
like job loss or marital failure, then help
should be sought immediately, advises
Mr Kirunga.
Other warning signs, which one should
never ignore, include comments that imply
a threat to kill or to commit suicide.
Only a warped or troubled mind can
make such threats, and in quite a number
of cases, these people carry out the threats
they make, warns Mr Kirunga.
Other signs include a spouse who sud-
denly, or over time, becomes violent and
abusive, both physically and verbally. A
spouse should be wary if a person who
was normally talkative becomes quiet
and reserved.
In some cases though, it is dicult to
spot the red ag because some people are
good at keeping up appearances. This, Mr
Kirunga points out, is especially common
with men, who tend to keep their problems
to themselves, a factor that can easily lead
to depression.
Signs of desperation are, however, easier
to spot in women, who are more expres-
sive. In many cases, by the time a woman
resorts to suicide or infanticide, she will
have tried to solve her problems every way
possible, including sharing with a friend.
Taking her life and that of her children
would often be a last resort.

T
he latest police gures
on homicide show that
there were 2,784 cases
last year.
Murder topped the list
with 1,721 incidents fol-
lowed by infanticide (60)
and manslaughter (53).
However, this showed a
decline from 3,124 homi-
ci de cases reported to
police in 2012 - a 10.9 per
cent drop.
Homicide is the killing of a
human being by another.
The official statistics
present a sad reality because
a huge number of murder
cases filed in court never
gained convictions, suggest-
ing that the oenders often
walked out free.
According to the latest issue
of Kenyas Economic Survey,
only 264 murders were suc-
cessfully prosecuted last
year, out of 1,709 cases led
in court.
This was a big improvement
as only 66 convictions were
attained in 2012 out of 1,347
cases taken to court.
The cases were handled
in the High Court which has
the jurisdiction over murder
trials. The Directorate of Pub-
lic Prosecutions headed by Mr
Keriako Tobiko (above) takes
charge of murder trials.
The justice system further
relies on the police whose
semi-autonomous arm, the
Directorate of Criminal In-
vestigations looks into all
serious crime cases.
In the past, police have been
accused of conducting shoddy
investigations, ending up with
evidence that can hardly stand
judicial scrutiny.
The report also shows that
men are most notorious when
it comes to committing seri-
ous oences.
Number of prisoners
While police held 1,507 men
for murder in 2013, only 214
suspects were women.
However, the details point
at an increase in convictions
in other oences since the
number of prisoners has been
on the rise.
The number of prisoners
rose from 204,551 in 2012 to
227,918 last year. Most of the
convicts fall under the 26 50
age bracket about 40.9 per
cent of the total number.
The report further shows
Nairobi is the crime capital
compared to other counties.
Some 8,207 crime incidents
were reported in Nairobi alone
while other counties collec-
tively accounted for 63,311.
Grim picture of crime records

Number of convictions in
murder cases last year
Signs of depression are hard
to spot in men because some of
them can keep up appearances.
In women, such signs are eas-
ier to spot because women are
generally more expressive.
One should be on the look-out
if a spouse who was normally
talkative becomes aloof and
withdrawn or because physically
and verbally abusive.
One should also not ignore
comments with implied threats
to kill or commit suicide.

result in depression, stress and other psychological trauma that may cause domestic violence
BY CAROLINE NJUNGE
cnjunge@ke.nationmedia.com
Early this year, a 46-year-
old woman from Keiyo South
stabbed her two children to
death and then killed herself.
Ms Pauline Chepkwony, a
single mother, had been liv-
ing with her parents.
Neighbours said she might
have been depressed.
Depression and mental in-
stability, including temporary
insanity, are other triggers of
familicide.
In such cases, some people
may not intend to go as far as
killing. Their intention could
be to scare but because of their
mental state, they may end up
killing.
After realising the gravity of
their act, they end up taking
their own lives.
Psychologists agree that
though such crimes can af-
fect any family irrespective of
class, religion or region, those
going through a dicult nan-
cial crisis, those with a history
of violence and abuse and those
which lack social and spiritual
support are especially vulner-
able.
If as a child a man saw his
father beating his mother and
verbally abusing her, he will
grow up believing that this is
normal, says Dr Dan Mugera,
a psychologist.
He warns that this could
trigger more violence when
conflict arises in a family
setting.
Borrowing from studies by
David Wilson, a professor of
Criminology at Birmingham
City University, another
counselling psychologist, Mr
Shadrack Kirunga, points out
that in many familicide cases,
the common trigger is hope-
lessness.
If we take Prof Wilsons ar-
gument that hopelessness is the
core, then you might place the
occurrence of such incidents at
the lower economic classes of
society, he says. This could
be true because people in upper
echelons have more options of
solving their problems due to
their nancial status. Even in
mental or psychological cases,
they are likely to get help faster
and receive better care.
At the end of the day though,
he cautions, such cases can
occur anywhere because
the feeling of hopelessness
and helplessness can affect
anyone.
What does the rise of such
cases say about the Kenyan
society then?
The problems of the 21st
century are tougher. We have
a more pronounced leadership
crisis, there is moral degrada-
tion to deal with, economic
hardship, not to mention that
the once strong and intact fam-
ily fabric is weak and values
we once held dear have been
destroyed, says Dr Mugera.
Mr Kirunga concurs and
observes that modern families
are less close-knit than in the
past and live constrained, in-
dividual lives which may leave
many feeling unvalued or even
unwanted.
The harsh economic con-
ditions and the uncertain
political situation mean that
people dont know what to
expect tomorrow yet they can
do nothing about this helpless-
ness, he says.

The two represent private sector

Earlier, before the court session, a
group of trade union leaders had gone
to Mr Kambis oce in the nearby
NSSF building to pile pressure on
him to reverse the order he issued
on Friday. However, they did not meet
the Cabinet Secretary.
Trade unions have threatened a

Yesterday, Industrial Court Judge
Monica Mbaru temporarily suspended

last week ejecting Mr Atwoli and Ms
Mugo from the national pensioners

Her ruling allowed Mr Atwoli and
Ms Mugo to continue representing
workers and employers in the NSSF
board pending the determination of
the suit.
Mr Atwoli, through his lawyer, Ms
Judy Guserwa, led the application
claiming that Mr Kambis decision
to retire the Cotu boss was unlaw-

the NSSF Act.
The decision was tainted with
malice, procedural impropriety and
intended to square personal scores,
Ms Guserwa said. Mr Atwoli has
been on record opposing fraudulent
dealings at the NSSF and the deci-
sion to remove him was only meant
to punish him.
She argued that Mr Atwoli was ap-
pointed by the workers union in April
to serve in the board for an additional
three years and that Mr Kambi has no
power to replace him unless through
the express decision of workers.
At the same time, activist Charles
Omanga filed another petition at
the High Court seeking to revoke
Mr Kambis Kenya Gazette notice re-
tiring Mr Atwoli and Ms Mugo from
the NSSF board. He argued that Mr
Kambi had no authority to retire
any nominee appointed to the board
by unions since the new NSSF Act
provides that existing members are
deemed to have been appointed under
the new Act for three more years.
The NSSF board as currently
constituted in the absence of repre-
sentatives from Cotu and FKE can act
against the interests or workers and
employers. Mr Kambi had no author-
ity to take over the roles of the two
bodies and his decision was therefore
null, void and unconstitutional, Mr
Omanga said.
Mr Justice Weldon Korir certied
his application as urgent and directed
him to serve Mr Kambi and the AG
before the hearing tomorrow.
In the rst case, Mr Atwoli sup-
ported his application with an adavit
stating that Mr Kambis decision was
a witch hunt due to his stand on plans
to misuse workers money.
Ever since Mr Kambi took over
the Labour ministry, he embarked
on a warpath with me without any
provocation since I brought to light
the intention to loot workers funds.
He has even made unfounded reports
to the KRA and the CID over our af-
fairs without any basis, he said.
He argued that if the NSSF Board
of Trustees goes ahead to convene
a meeting and transact business
without their involvement, there is
possibility that the workers contribu-
tions will be misused.
The Cotu boss maintained that he
was duly elected by the union to sit on
the NSSF board and can only retire
in April 2017 after the expiry of his
three-year term.
We even obtained a court order
in April directing Mr Kambi to eect
the appointment and gazette a second
nominee of Cotu, but he ignored and
moved to the Court of Appeal to sus-
pend the order so that he denies us a
second representative, he swore.
Lady Justice Mbaru scheduled
the hearing of the application for
July 25.

TROUBLE IN NSSF
O
n the face of it, the
struggle for the con-
trol of the National
Social Security Fund pitting
Cotu Secretary-General Fran-
cis Atwoli and Labour Cabinet
Secretary Kazungu Kambi would
pass for a spat between two
strong and highly-opinionated
personalities.
But in reality, it is about
control over several multi-bil-
lion projects.
Indeed, the battle for big
projects has almost become
a permanent phenomenon
often escalating whenever
a new Cabinet minister comes
to the scene when elections
are approaching or when a
new government comes to
power.
In the build-up to the last
General Election, the govern-
ment suspended three large
projects, on the manifestly
strange argument that the
law did not allow use of public
funds for major projects three
months before a poll.
The projects are the Sh7
billion Hazina Trade Centre
oce tower, the Sh2.1 billion
Nyayo-Embakasi project, and
the NSSF parking silo (Sh600
million).
Only occasionally bursting
into the news, the behind-
the-scenes struggle to control
NSSFs lucrative projects will
take dierent forms. The other
day, it played on in the row over
the Sh5 billion Tassia Develop-
ment project. Cotu and FKE
ganged up to oppose it.
The FKEs Ms Mugo, a long-
serving director of the NSSF,
argued that, no feasibility
study had been conducted on
the project.
Billions of shillings of pen-
sioners money was spent on
buying the land and paying
consultants. The NSSF still
wants to spend another Sh5
billion on civil works.
Indeed, it is right now
in a spree in terms of huge
projects.
It was quite perplexing that
when Mr Atwoli came out
against the Tassia project,
one of his key complaints was
that it had been given to the
same Chinese company that
had won the contract to build
Hazina Towers. It emerged he
was backing a rival Chinese
contractor.
But the most grandiose of
the schemes is the plan to build
30,000 houses in Mavoko.
Then there is the battle over
members contributions, which
Cotu and FKE opposed.
On paper, the stated inten-
tion is to expand benets and
coverage for members. The real
intention, however, is to boost
cash-ow.
In January 2010, audit rm
PricewaterhouseCoopers was
retained by the NSSF to con-
duct a fraud risk assessment
on its property portfolio.
The proclivity with which
the political the elite ght to
wrest control of the aairs of
NSSF reects in the turnover
of chief executives.
In the last 10 years, it has
had eight CEOs.
Bad corporate governance is
the NSSFs biggest problem.
Worse still, trustees enjoy long,
uninterrupted tenures, causing
a stagnation of ideas.
Other pension funds give
members statements to
track their savings growth,
but NSSF is unable because
members billions are locked
up in a suspense account.

P
art of the land on which Jomo
Kenyatta International Airport
stands is owned by a private
company.
A parliamentary committee that
toured the airport yesterday heard
that Nairobi Airport Services (NAS),
a private catering rm that provides
services for airlines at the JKIA hub,
has a title for part of the land.
The matter came up when Kanduyi
MP Wafula Wamunyinyi, (below), a
member of the Public Investments
Committee, asked the Kenya Airports
Authority (KAA) management about
ownership of the land.
KAA General Manager (Finance)
John Ithumbi conrmed that NAS
held the title deed for a portion of
the land, but he said that he did not
know how that happened.
Asked who the owners of NAS are,
Mr Ithumbi could not tell.
We know that land at the airport
was acquired by powerful individuals
between 1990 and 2002, PIC Chair-
man Adan Keynan said.
He asked KAA to prepare a report
on the private companies that own
land in the airport and explain how
they acquired titles.
The KAA General manager in
charge of security, Eric Kiraithe,
said he was in the dark regarding
how NAS got the land.
That information is not within my
purview, he said.
We will soon write a report to
name and shame those involved in
land grabbing at JKIA, Mr Keynan
said.
Baringo Central MP Sammy Mwaita
expressed worry over the adequacy of
expansion plans at the airport.
He said Kenya needs to pull up its
socks if it wants to remain competi-
tive in the region.
Mr Keynan said that Addis Ababas
Bole International Airport was already
ahead of JKIA in terms of the number
of passengers it is able to handle.
He urged KAA to expedite its con-
struction plans to ensure that Kenya
does not lag behind.
Mr Wamunyinyi questioned the
security standards at the airport,
noting that a body was found on the
runway last month.
Was the person killed in the air-
port and dumped on the runway?
he posed.
Could this be a case of someone
killing a person elsewhere and sneak-
ing the body into the airport? the
Kanduyi MP asked.
KAA was unable to give a compre-
hensive answer on the incident, saying
it was still under investigation. How-
ever, Mr Kiraithe said security had
been improved in recent months.
A consultancy rm has been hired
to improve intruder detection. We
have improved our surveillance and
rapid response units to counter any
threats, Mr Kiraithe said.

MCAs will go to the High Court
today to block a move by the rev-
enue agency to set spending ceiling
for counties.
A circular from the Commission
on Revenue Allocation (CRA)
which the Controller of Budget
Ms Agnes Odhiambo directed
county assembly speakers to en-
force infuriated the MCAs.
During a meeting of about
2,000 MCAs in Nairobi yester-
day, they directed the County
Assembly Forum (CAF) to seek
a constitutional interpretation on
the directive from the court.
CAF chairman Abdi Nur said
they did that to ensure funds were
released to counties for payment of
August salaries to doctors, nurses
and other sta.
Extravagance
Assemblies have been warned
by the Budget Controller that
unless they revised spending in
accordance with the CRA direc-
tive, funds would not be released
to them. That is why we are mov-
ing to court to avoid a paralysis of
operations, he said.
Speakers at the forum, the third
by MCAs in three weeks, main-
tained that the assemblies were
within the law to pass their budgets
and that CRA and the Salaries and
Remuneration Commission (SRC)
had no mandate to set ceilings on
budgets and allowances.
At the heart of the controversy is
a move by the two commissions to
curb extravagant spending.
Last week, Ms Odhiambo raised
the ag over spending saying travel
and sitting allowances at Sh4.8 bil-
lion and Sh82 million respectively
in the third quarter of the 2013/14
Financial Year exceeded the devel-
opment budget.
SRC chairperson Sarah Serem
recently threatened to withdraw
allowances for MCAs. She said the
allowances were the source of mis-
use of funds at the assemblies.
In addition, the MCAs are ght-
ing to keep the Ward Development
Fund. They also want money to
construct offices and employ
sta.
Ward Reps
move to
court over
allowances

T
he Transition Authority
wants to block ward reps
from laying their hands on
a multi-billion shillings fund for
the counties.
TA Chairman Kinuthia
Wamwangi has written to gover-
nors and the county government
speakers cautioning against the
enactment of the Ward Develop-
ment Fund.
If eected, a huge percent-
age of resources will be under
the management of the Mem-
bers of the County Assemblies
(MCAs).
This comes after the Com-
mission on Revenue Allocation
(CRA) issued a directive on
budget ceilings to restrict
spending by MCAs and assem-
blies following an outcry over
wastage of public funds
Documents obtained by the
Nation indicate that under the
new ceilings the total cost for
funding new structures under
devolved units should not ex-
ceed Sh13 billion of the total
amount allocated per year for
the executives and Sh17 billion
for the assemblies.
But in a quick rejoinder, ward
representatives resolved to go to
the High Court today to block
CRA from setting budget limits.
(see separate story)
The guidelines also seek
to cap the spending on new
structures for Nairobi County
to Sh1.2 billion, Kiambu Sh953
million, Kakamega Sh46 million,
Nakuru Sh855 million and Kisii
Sh832 million.
The role of MCAs is to legis-
late and not to run county funds.
They ought to play an oversight
role as provided in the law. Any
new fund created should be
managed by the executive, Mr
Wamwangi told the Nation.
He said that the authority was
surprised to nd some ward reps
supervising projects contrary to
the law.
We are aware that counties
are at various stages of setting
up Ward Development Funds for
nancing projects at the ward
level. The establishment of any
fund and its administration must
comply with all relevant laws,
said Mr Wamwangi in his letter
dated July 11.
He said that the law bars
MCAs from engaging in imple-
mentation of executive functions
whether directly or indirectly.
The passage of Appropriation
Bills a number of counties is now
mired in controversy.
Some governors have rejected
a bid by MCAs to allocate more
cash to the ward fund.
Makueni, Kirinyaga and
Bomet counties are among those
whose Appropriation Bills have
been rejected by the Controller
of Budget, Mrs Agnes Odhiambo,
for violating the rules.
In a letter written by CRA
Secretary George Ooko warns
that development of counties
may suffer if money is used
haphazardly on programmes of
the least priority.
Please note that budg-
ets should not exceed the
recommended ceilings. This
will aect service delivery, Mr
Ooko said.
The ceilings have provided a
limit of spending by county exec-
utives and county assemblies on
the newly developed structures
that is meant to curb misuse of
resources and cut down unneces-
sary recruitment at the county
governments.
The Oce of the Controller
of Budget emphasises the need
for all county governments to
adhere to the advisory provided
by CRA, which is in line with
Article 201 (d) of the Constitu-
tion, read part of the letter by
Mrs Odhiambo.

D
eputy President Wil-
liam Ruto has warned
school heads over
charging arbitrary levies.
Mr Ruto said headteachers
who ask for extra money and
slotting into fee structures un-
necessary levies like for the
purchase of buses should quit
or face the law.
The sentiments came after
the government directed
headteachers to issue with-
held certicates to students
who may not have cleared
their fee arrears.
We have increased the al-
location for free primary and
secondary school funding by
35 per cent. The remaining
cash will be in school accounts
this week, he added.
He said heads should be
held responsible for charg-
ing any extra money.
There must be a way of
vetting all the levies to stop
headteachers from charging
more, he said.
He added that some of the
money could be ending up in
the pockets of headteachers.
Where does this money
go? We demand account-
ability. Before they ask for
anything extra, they must
account for what they have
received from the govern-
ment, Mr Ruto said.
The DP added that the
government would pay the
examination registration fees
for primary and secondary
school national examination
candidates from this year.
He was speaking at Wouni-
fer African Inland Church in
Uasin Gishu on Sunday.
He also asked parents and
school leavers whose certi-
cates were withheld by their
institutions over fees arrears
to go for them.
We have also directed
heads to release the docu-
ments. We will sort them out
later. It is immoral to withhold
the certicate of a child whose
poor parents cannot clear
school fees, he added.
He said withholding the
certicates was like holding
the children at ransom.
It is double tragedy as
the child has already been
punished by poverty, Mr
Ruto added.
Speaking on Saturday in
Lumakanda during the funeral
of former MP Cyrus Jirongos
mother, Mr Ruto said a com-
mittee would be formed to
establish which headteacher
would not have obeyed the
directive to surrender the
certicates.
He insisted that the youth
should get those documents
to help them secure employ-
ment.
Mr Ruto said the govern-
ment would set up a technical
training institute in every con-
stituency to help young people
get the necessary and relevant
skills to help them survive in
the contemporary world.
We have already budgeted
for the establishment of the
institutes in 60 constituencies
countrywide. We must have a
rm quality education foun-
dation to curb unemployment
among the youngsters, he
added.

Lamu curfew confusing
T
he freedoms of movement, worship and
association guaranteed by the Constitution
are important cornerstones of the Bill of
Rights.
But there are times in a countrys life when
governments are forced to suspend those rights in
the higher interests of national security.
We presume that the decision to impose a dusk-
to-dawn curfew in Lamu County was informed
by such special circumstances. The terrorist
attacks that have killed dozens indeed called for
extraordinary response.
However, opposition to the curfew by political
and religious leaders, including open deance by
leading operatives in the ruling coalition, have
forced a change of mind.
A justiable concern is that the curfew will
restrict Muslim prayers during month of
Ramadhan. A second notice has therefore been
isssued clarifying that the faithful will not be
hindered in their observances.
It has not been explained, however, whether the
curfew has been partially lifted, or will not be only
applicable only to some groups. This is an area
crying out for clarication for a curfew is either
in force or is not. Grey areas on whom it applies to
will only add to the confusion.

Resolve looming crisis
over NSSF leadership
L
abour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambis
ejection of two key members of the board of
the National Social Security Fund has opened
yet another round of needless negative publicity.
When it is not about gross mismanagement,
outright looting, misadvised investment or the
purchase of land at hugely inated prices, the NSSF
is hardly ever heard about.
This is unfortunate, as the NSSF was set up to
secure the lives of its members in old age. But,
they often have to wait for long periods to get paid
on leaving employment, or they discover their
accounts are not up-to-date. And yet here is a well-
funded organisation that can aord to hire the very
best to ensure prudent and fruitful investments.
Mr Kambi purports to have strictly followed the
law in removing Cotu secretary-general Francis
Atwoli and Federation of Kenya Employers
representative Jacqueline Mugo, from the board.
But the law he relied on came into eect only
early this year, and cannot be applied retroactively.
Mr Atwoli and Ms Mugo can, therefore, not be
said to be in breach of the rule that limits board
members tenure to two three-year terms.
Though the Labour Secretary is wrong, equally
disturbing is the reaction of Cotu, which has called
for a nationwide strike to force the rescinding of
the ministers order. We do not see why the country
should be dragged into industrial chaos over a
seemingly straightforward matter.
What is lacking here is a willingness to reason
together. The three parties must resolve this
unnecessary crisis. Though the government has a
role to play in nurturing social security, its ocers
must never forget that this is not State cash. The
Fund controls money remitted by workers and their
employers. Their representatives must have a say in
how it is managed.
O
n the school run
yesterday morning,
I had to take evasive
action to avoid a head-on-
collision with a police car
speeding against oncoming
trac on the wrong side
of the dual-carriageway
Langata Road, just after the
Madaraka roundabout.
What really pissed me o
is that all that dangerous
driving wasnt in response
to an Al-Shabbab attack
or other such emergency.
Nor was it an ambulance or
re engine racing on a life-
and-death mission: It was
simply some government
nabob in the trailing 4x4
SUV having the road cleared
because he or she didnt
have the patience to endure
the morning trac jam like
ordinary mortals.
I have written about this
uncouth road behaviour
before, but obviously not the
Trac Police Commandant,
his Inspector-General, the
Head of Public Service
and Chief of Sta, the
President or anybody else in
government cares about this
surfeit of bad road manners
on the part of pued-up
senior civil servants who
rate police escort cars.
This lack of road manners
we see every day is not just
rude, but also dangerous,
idiotic, arrogant, criminal
and utterly inconsiderate of
other road users.
In other, words, it is
typical of our despotic and
dictatorial ruling classes,
and the particularly virulent
strain that has come with
the Jubilee administration of
President Uhuru Kenyatta
and Deputy President
William Ruto.
Not even during the
worst days of the one-
party Kanu dictatorship of
President Jomo Kenyatta
and President Moi did we
see every two-bit Cabinet
minister, permanent
secretary, judge, House
Speaker, State corporation
boss, Constitutional
Commission chair or other
high and mighty public
servant given the licence to
display unbridled arrogance
on the roads.
In those days, a security
convoy and the right to a
clear road was the preserve
of the Presidential Escort.
Every other personage,
including the Vice-
President, had to wake up
early or endure the rush-
hour trac like everybody
else.
Even in President Kibakis
time when police chase
cars and entire platoons of
bodyguards started being
dished out like confetti,
barrelling down the wrong
side of the road was an
absolute no-no.
Now it is becoming
commonplace under the
UhuRuto regime. Which is
strange because President
Kenyatta and Mr Ruto have
brought a refreshing and
easygoing informality to
national leadership.
They come across
as friendly, open and
approachable, with little
of the hubris, arrogance
and airs that one sees in
those thrust into leadership
while still struggling with
inferiority complexes.
I know for a fact
President Kenyatta has
tried not to inconvenience
other road-users, timing
his engagements carefully
to avoid periods of heavy
trac, and sometimes
infuriating his security
chiefs by eschewing the
bloated motorcade and
using a slimmed-down
model they think does not
bet his oce.
If the President is not
personally xated with
displaying raw power, I
wonder then why he allows
his minions to do so.
He must consider that
what we see from that
behaviour on the roads is
not just a rude and arrogant
individual, but the ugly
face of a regime attuned to
dictatorship and brutality.
What is displayed is a
state where the governors
treat the governed with
utter contempt; a culture
where the powerful can act
with complete impunity
because they know that they
stand above the laws and
the Constitution; a state
where the rich and powerful
are completely untouchable,
while the hoi polloi must
stick strictly to the law or
face dreadful consequences.
In other words, we see
daily projected on our roads
the classical symptoms of
failed State where the laws
are mere pieces of paper
to be applied selectively to
favour the chosen few.
It is in such a state where
the rule of law now longer
exists that we then have
the complete breakdown of
law and order; unchecked
violence in Turkana, Lamu
and Wajir; uncontrolled
inltration by terrorists;
government capture by
poachers, drug barons
and other kingpins of
organised crime; rampant
looting of the public coers;
extrajudicial executions and
political assassinations; and
self-fullling prophecies of
ethnic warfare.
If President Kenyatta
does not want to lead Kenya
down that dark path, he can
start by instilling humility
and respect for trac rules
within his government.

P
oliticians, who are ignorant of
the provisions of Article 2 of the
Constitution should read it and stop
the irresponsible habit of politicising law
enforcement. That article, which asserts
the supremacy of the Constitution, binds
all persons and also State organs at both
levels national and county.
Mr Adan Duale and Lamu County
politicians and people, who yesterday,
called upon Lamu County citizens to
disobey the night curfew imposed by the
Inspector-General of Police on July 19,
have committed the oence created by
section 96 of the Penal Code and should
be charged with the oence of inciting
people to disobey the law.
Section 96 of the Penal Code makes it
an oence for any person to cause words
to be published or any cause to be done
indicating or implying that it is or might
be right to do any act doing of which is
calculated:
(a) to bring death or physical injury to
any person or any class or community or
body of persons; or
(b) to lead to the damage or destruction
of any class of people or,
(c) to prevent or defeat by violence
or by unlawful means the execution or
enforcement of written law or to lead
to deance or disobedience of any such
law is guilty of an oence and is liable to
imprisonment for a term not exceeding
ve years.
Mr David Kimaiyo imposed on Lamu
County the night curfew in exercise of
powers given to him by Article 246 (2)
of the Constitution, sections 8 of the
Public Order Act, Chapter 56 of the Laws
of Kenya and section 14 of the Police
Act, Chapter 84 of the Laws of Kenya,
a day after seven people were killed
near Witu when the bus in which they
were travelling at 7pm was attacked by
terrorists.
Article 246(2) of the Constitution
provides that the Inspector-General shall
exercise independent command over the
National Police Service and perform any
other functions prescribed by national
legislation.
The national legislation includes the
Public Order Act and Police Act. Section
8 of the former gives him power to
impose curfews whilst section 14 of the
Police Act provides that the police shall be
employed in Kenya for the maintenance of
law and order, the preservation of peace,
the protection of life and property, the
prevention of crime, the apprehension of
oenders and enforcement of all laws and
regulation with which it is charged.
The Inspector-General needs political
support of the President, Deputy
President and the Opposition in enforcing
the Constitution and the laws of the land.
Duale has a serious character defect
which makes him unt to hold the
high oce which he holds today. He
is endangering State security by his
irresponsible behaviour.
His call for disregard of the curfew is
callous and irresponsible. Even if that is
not what he and those who made similar
calls for disobedience of the curfew
intended, the eect is to support the
on-going lawlessness in Lamu County
perpetrated by terrorists.
They are aiding and abetting it. They
are calling for the destruction of State
in the name of exercising of freedoms of
worship and of speech. Such freedoms
can only be exercised in a State governed
by the rule of law.

MEDICAL PRACTICE | Subiri Obwogo
Y
our newspaper should
be commended for
highlighting cases of
medical practitioners who fail
to adhere to ethical conduct in
the discharge of duties.
Patients are now more
informed than ever before.
They ask detailed questions
and demand a high level
of service. They know that
mistreatment is contrary to
their rights and should be
rejected and their complaints
addressed consistently.
This presents a challenge to
policy-makers to translate this
commitment into meaningful
action and to ensure that
engagement with patients is
at the heart of all policies and
strategies for improvement.
The following policy
questions need to be
addressed: Are communities
and service users involved in
the governance arrangements
of the healthcare system? Are
their views and preferences
taken into account in decision-
making?
Are there specic and
systematic strategies to
improve health literacy and
self-care, and to document
patients experience with the
health system?
To answer these questions,
the Ministry of Health with
support from stakeholders
and development partners, is
developing the Kenya Quality
Improvement Policy.
To ensure public protection
and client focus, the views
and preferences of diverse
stakeholders have been
sought. This policy will ensure
formal mechanisms exist to
dene and protect the rights of
patients and their families to
health services.
First, this policy supports
a systematic process to
document and address
patients experience with the
health system. This will ensure
the Patients Rights Charter
(PRC) is translated into
meaningful action.
The PRC is a contract
between the provider and the
patient. It addresses issues
like patient waiting times,
availability of essential drugs,
and patient satisfaction.
Second, this policy will
ensure that patients rights to
high-quality care are explicitly
stated, widely disseminated
and in local languages.
Third, it will support a well-
publicised national programme
for analysing complaints about
health services and ensure
the results of national sample
surveys of patient experience
and satisfaction with
healthcare are made public.
Fourth, it will translate
the commitment to the
Patients Rights Charter into
meaningful action, including
appropriate legislation.
Fifth, it will support
communities and service
users to be involved in the
governance arrangements
of the health system, while
ensuring their views and
preferences are taken into
account in decision-making.
However, experience from
other countries has shown that
professional malpractice is
often a symptom of failures in
the healthcare system.
Although litigation provides
a legal underpinning for
dealing with malpractice and
provides a means to remove
fraudulent or incompetent
healthcare providers from
practice, it is not enough.
To improve healthcare
quality and ensure patient
safety, doctors and allied
health professionals must
remain up-to-date in their
knowledge and practice.
This means that the primary
role of professional regulatory
boards must go beyond
dealing with malpractice
within the profession, to
include supporting healthcare
workers to maximise their
training and skills through
lifelong learning.
There is clear evidence
from medical literature that
quality cannot be inspected
into healthcare systems.
This means that, although
cases of malpractice should
be punished, this should be
complemented with corrective
measures that promote
continuous self-improvement.
A purely punitive approach
results in a static compliance
with minimum standards
without stimulating human
behaviour towards a conscious
dynamic improvement, often
resulting in blame and ill-
motivated sta and managers.
Someone who has done the
hard work and has chosen to
study medicine means they
are interested in improving
peoples lives and making the
world a better place.
The role of policy-makers
is to nd the right balance
between these internal
and external drivers of
improvement, and reect this
balance in the quest for quality

improvement adviser in

DEBATE QUESTION
Is Kazungu Kambi

Send your comments to:
mailbox@ke.nationmedia.com
I
refer to your editorial Punish
Negligent Doctors (Friday, July
18) in which you urged punitive
action against doctors accused of
negligence.
The editorial was based on earlier
Nation stories which highlighted
cases of professional misconduct
as investigated and concluded by
the Medical Practitioners and Den-
tists Board.
I assume the reports and the
editorial were motivated by the
great interest the public shows in
the management of their health
and your readers were, no doubt,
happy that these stories were not
being hidden.
Whereas years ago, people were
tolerant and accepted adverse
events as bad luck and due to
no fault of the doctors, this is no
longer the case, and there is in-
creasing interest in independent
scrutiny of their performance.
Avoid mistakes
For the health care providers,
however, some of these stories are
alarming since no doctor in active
practice can totally avoid mistakes.
The tendency to name, blame and
shame could do serious damage to
health care.
When a medical error occurs, it
creates within the doctor a feeling
of failure; it creates anxiety and
depression. Publication of the case
in the Press adds to the agony and
the stigma lasts for life.
But what is a medical error? Also
known as an adverse event, this is
medical treatment which results
in death, life-threatening illness or
disability. An otherwise t patient
who comes into hospital walking
but dies because the intestines
were perforated at surgery, or de-
velops brain damage during anaes-
thesia would fall in this category.
So would errors of omission like
complications, which follow failure
to notice high blood glucose in dia-
betes or inability to make urine due
to kidney failure.
The Medical Practitioners and
Dentists Board divides such events
into avoidable and non-avoidable.
An error is non-avoidable if the pro-
cedure was performed according to
protocol, while it is avoidable where
there was a breach of protocol.
When caught on the wrong side,
it is natural for clinicians to put
forward arguments that will make
errors appear inevitable to make
them appear less culpable.
I regularly tell my younger col-
leagues that it is not the medical
error, which lands the doctor in
trouble but what we do in reaction.
Regulatory bodies should pro-
mote systems which encourage
doctors to own up to mistakes. And
the general perception that doctors
protect each other at the expense
of the public whenever things go
wrong needs to be corrected so that
the public have condence in doc-
tors ability to regulate themselves
and ensure protection of patients.

Someone, please, tell Kambi that laws are not applied backwards
Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi is at
it again, purporting to retire Cotu secretary-general
Francis Atwoli and Federation of Kenya Employers
CEO Jackline Mugo from the Board of the NSSF.
Mr Kambi argues that the new NSSF Act allows
board members to serve a maximum of two three-
year terms. Yet new laws never operate retroactively
or retrospectively. That is why when retired President
Daniel Moi acceded to pressure to re-introduce multi-
partyism and Section 2A of the Constitution was re-
pealed, he contested and won the presidency in 1992
and in 1997 despite having served previously for 14
years.
The Act, therefore, contemplates that board mem-
bers appointed from the time of its commencement
(January 2014) will serve for the next six years.
For Cotu and FKE, it is that person serving at that
time as the SG, and as CEO who sits in that board.
The CS has no power to decide on behalf of unions or
employers who they should nominate to the board.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the govern-
ment is allergic to independent organisations. It is un-
comfortable with Cotu, Knut, FKE, NGOs, media, the
Opposition, and other groups that appear to stand for
progress. Is someone angling to loot workers money
through dubious projects like Tassia, and so wants
obstacles like Mr Atwoli and Ms Mugo removed?
KEN WAFULA, Eldoret
As an independent arbiter, the
Independent Policing Oversight
Authority (IPOA) was established to
provide for civilian monitoring of
the work of the police.
The IPOA did oversee the police
recruitment, albeit the mandate
squarely lies with the National Police
Service Commission. First, the Na-
tional Police Service ocers arrived
late, and hence the recruitment did
not start in many places as had been
advertised. This made the process
run late into the night in virtually all
the centres monitored.
Second, there was an apparent
lack of standardisation. This created
avenues for misuse of discretion to
favour some candidates and dis-
criminate against others on grounds
prohibited by the Constitution.
Third, most recruitment venues
lacked customer care desks, and or
people to give directions. As a result,
those who needed clarications had
no avenues for redress. The com-
plaints handling mechanisms were
either not there or unknown to all.
Finally, there were reported inci-
dents of inuence peddling and con-
ict of interest. It was easy to con-
clude that some ocers could have
been compromised long before.
It is the position of the IPOA that
the recruitment was not transparent.
We recommend its cancellation.

pendent Policing Oversight Authority
Shame and sham that
was police recruitment
A lot of excitement and anxiety
have been raised in equal measure by
the recent order to secondary school
principals to release certicates
withheld over fees arrears.
Excitement because the students
will nally get their papers and
then plan from that point. Anxiety
because orders are orders and the
heads may just have to comply, but
will be left wondering who will pay
for the services obtained by the cer-
ticate owners.
Normally the logical thinking
among heads is that sending stu-
dents away to get fees aects their
performance. They are kept in
school on the understanding that
once the certicate is there, it will
force the learner to secure it.
With the new order, principals
just have to make sure students pay
fees before exams, which will conse-
quently mean the next generation of
the disadvantaged we are trying to
protect will not go to school.

UNEQUAL KENYA: The huge
economic divide in Kenya is aptly
captured by a billboard I pass by
every day on my way to work. It
is advertising a mega sale at a
furniture outlet, where the cost of a
sofa set is only Sh256,500! The
billboard stands near several jua kali
craftsmen who eke out a living sell-
ing painted plant pots, hand-made
wooden furniture and canvas sheets.
No doubt they dont even make that
much money in a year. On a sofa
set? No wonder there is debate on

FOOTBRIDGES RISKY: I thought
the footbridges on the Thika Super-
highway were made with wire mesh
on the sides for light and security.
However, almost all the bridges have
become advertising boards with
some entirely blocked o on both
sides. Also, hawkers and beggars
have put up shop in them, leaving no
space for pedestrians. This, coupled
with the potential of being mugged
with nobody to come to your aid, is
why people risk their lives crossing
the road instead of using the bridges.
Why allow this?

a resemblance of themselves or of
Nairobi in her. There is nothing to
be proud of there. I am not surprised
that Njoki has replaced her picture

A public policy analyst wants the
proposed Mining Bill 2014 over-
hauled to protect communities.
Mr Kiema Mwandia urged Mem-
bers of Parliament to review the
Bill proposed by Mining Cabinet
Secretary Najib Balala, which the
lawmakers began debating last
week.
The analyst said the Bill has
provisions that give more powers
to the Cabinet Secretary and this
could lead to compulsory acquisi-
tions of land from communities
that have limited access to legal
redress.Mr Mwandia said that the
Bill has gaps that are likely to con-
done corruption while overlooking
the violation of human rights.
More consultations
In a memorandum to the
Parliamentary Committee on En-
vironment and Natural Resources
that is chaired by Nominated
MP Amina Abdalla, Mr Mwan-
dia wants the Bill to be set
aside for more consultations to
take place with stakeholders.
Parliament should put public
interest rst. We need a law that
will promote transparency and ac-
countability in mining. This will
benet more people, he said.
The Bill as it stands, Mr Mwandia
said, obliges communities to con-
sent to a given project.

A
court has dismissed
a petition seeking to
stop a case against
six former senior civil serv-
ants accused of defrauding a
90-year-old widow of a ranch
valued at Sh954 million.
High Court Judge George
Odunga ruled that the ac-
cused will face full trial for
allegedly obtaining land
fraudulently from Ms Anne
Kimitei Nyogio.
He ordered ex-Kenya
Pipeline Company Manag-
ing Director Ezekiel Komen,
former Eldoret DC Benjamin
Rotich, a former district land
registrar, Mr Tom Chepkwesi,
former Registrar of Lands
Agnes Kuria, and two former
Lands ocials in Eldoret, Mr
Erick Kibiwott Tarus and
Mr Benjamin Kikorir Kuto,
to appear before Nairobi
Chief Magistrate Hannah
Ndungu.
They had challenged their
prosecution on grounds that
Director of Public Prosecu-
tions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko
led the case long after the
said oence was committed.
They feared they would not
get a fair hearing, they said.
Justice Odunga said the
DPP had not overstepped
his mandate.
In their application, the
accused sought to gag the
DPP, the Chief Magistrate
and the Inspector-General of
Police against pursuing the
fraud charges and had also
enjoined the widow.
The elderly woman claims
she lost her land through
dubious transfer of land
documents alleged to have
been forged at Ardhi House
in Nairobi.
Ms Kuria faces two more
counts of abuse of oce.

W
ard representatives
have asked the Nyeri
County government to
pay coee growers immediately
after it announced it had sold all
the produce delivered to Sagana
Mills.
The members of the Nyeri
County Assembly blamed the
devolved government for de-
laying payment to farmers and
accused it of selling the coee
at a price lower than what it had
promised.
County Assembly Majority
Leader Anthony Kibuu and
Chairman of the Assembly Ag-
riculture committee James Kibira
urged the county government to
pay the farmers promptly.
They threatened to rally farm-
ers to demand their dues, which
they said was long overdue.
Mr Kibuu yesterday said he
was seeking a permit to hold a
meeting with the farmers to de-
cide the next course of action.
The farmers were promised
payment by end of June. Now we
are going into August and still
they have not been paid.
The Majority Leader said the
county government promised
farmers Sh130 per kilo, but the
recent sale only fetched Sh1.6
billion, way below the promised
amount.
The law requires that payment
be made to farmers within 14
days after sale, according to
the assembly ocial.
Mr Kibuu said he feared that
the money may have been depos-
ited in an individuals account
and was accruing interest.
He demanded to be told where
the interest, which he said would
be in millions, would be taken.
Mr Kibira said farmers who
deed a proposal by Governor
Nderitu Gachagua (below) to
deliver coee to Sagana Mills
had obtained good prices.
According to a report which he
tabled in the County Assembly
on July 3, the county government
sold all the coee that was milled
at Sagana through the Nairobi
auction, for Sh1.7 billion.
Mr Kibira said the produce
was sold after prices had gone
down and farmers could have
earned a better price had it
been sold in March.
In March, the auction price
was very high. Why did the
county government hoard the
coee until much later?
We are not compromising. We
want the farmers paid the prices
promised by the government.
On July 10, Nyeri County
Executive Committee Member
for Trade, Industrialisation and
Investment Stanley Miano said
all coee delivered to Sagana had
been sold to buyers overseas.
He said some of the coee had
been sold after the Nairobi Cof-
fee Auction closed on June 17.
There is no more coee at
Sagana Mills. Weve finished
selling and are now working on
modalities of shipping the cof-
fee to respective buyers abroad,
he said.
However, the Trade executive
did not disclose the quantity
sold and the value obtained.
He said different buyers
bought different grades and
the gures varied.
In May, farmers who had
agreed to the county govern-
ments proposal to sell their
coee under one roof at Sagana
received an advance payment of
Sh10 per kilogramme.
The government had promised
that it would have sold all the
coee by June 30.

Chepkwony gives priority to road, water projects
BY TIMOTHY KEMEI
@timothykemei
timothykemei@gmail.com
Improvement of the road network
is one of the ve key areas Governor
Paul Chepkwony is banking on to bring
economic growth of between 20 and 30
per cent in Kericho County over the next
three years.
To ease the movement of goods
and people, and attract investors, Prof
Chepkwonys government has given
priority to road construction and
upgrading. Over the past year,
450 kilometres of new mur-
ram roads have been built at
a cost of Sh450 million.
We are building feeder
roads in Kericho like never
before. This year, we have
nearly doubled the budget-
ary allocation to the roads
docket. We hope to
construct at least
700 kilo-
metres
of new roads and do the remainder next
year, he said.
The second sector Prof Chepkwony
is focusing on is water. His plan is to en-
sure that 95 per cent of all households
in the county are connected to clean
drinking water by 2017.
The plan is already being imple-
mented, especially after the county
government secured Sh1.4 billion from a
German nancial institution, KfW, which
would be channelled to the Kericho
Water and Sanitation Company
and the Tililbei water project.
Information, communi-
cation and technology
infrastructure is also being
given priority, with plans
to digitise county govern-
ment oces.
An ICT centre with
60 computers connected
to the Internet
was recently
launched
in Kericho
Town.
The county government has also dis-
tributed over 150 computers to selected
secondary schools and polytechnics in
the region.
We will continue until we roll-out
free Wi-Fi across the county, Prof
Chepkwony said.
The fourth sector the governor is
focusing on to speed up Kerichos
development is energy. The county
seeks to attract investors to enable it to
reduce its reliance on electricity distrib-
uted by Kenya Power.
This, said Prof Chepkwony, would
be done by exploiting solar and wind
resources to generate alternative and
reliable power for use by residents as
well as companies in the county.
The other sector that is getting at-
tention is agriculture, the backbone of
Kericho County. At least 70 per cent of
residents engage in crop and animal
production.
Tea growing, which the county is
well-known for, and the cultivation of
coee, sugarcane and stevia, have been
on the rise.
The governor said that the growing
interest among businesspeople to invest
in the county was due to the low level of
insecurity in the region.
Formula for success
According to Prof Chepkwony, the
formula for success in every county is
unity of its leadership.
This is one devolved unit where
the governor works very well with the
county commissioner and all the 47
members of the county assembly, who
play a big role in developing the region.
I am grateful that they have been very
supportive of my government, he said.

He said that even after taking bribes
as high as Sh100,000 and Sh300,000
from some of the recruits, the ocers
failed to consider them.
The list forwarded to NPSC does
not reect the face of the county, he
said. Dr Ochanda directed County
Secretary Kepher Marube to write to
the commission to cancel the exercise
and call for a fresh one.
He told aspirants to the service, who
might have been short-changed, to
lodge their complaints with his oce,
which will compile evidence to pres-

T
he shortage of teachers and
classrooms, and grabbing of
school land are major causes
of poor academic performance in the
city, a report says.
Two out of three pupils in Nairobi
City attend informal schools, most
of which do not receive any govern-
ment support.
The institutions have a high number
of pupils and a few teachers. They lack
classrooms and desks. These factors
contribute to poor results.
These details are contained in a re-
port by a task force on improvement of
performance of public primary schools
that was commissioned by Governor
Evans Kidero in March. It was chaired
by Dr Mark Matunga.
One in every ve children of school-
Task force cites lack
of classrooms and
desks at some schools
as also contributing
to poor performance
going age does not attend school in
the city. Such children end up loitering
around or doing menial jobs.
Only 193,053 pupils are enrolled in
the citys primary schools.
The teacher-pupil ratio was worry-
ing. There are cases where one teacher
handles 87 pupils in one class.
Kibera Olympic, for example, has
more than 100 pupils in one class.
In some schools, asbestos roofs had
caved in. In others, classrooms had
no windowpanes, exposing pupils to
rain and strong winds. A number of
them had worn-out oors and cracked
walls, with the paint peeling o.
The report shows that the transi-
tion rate from primary to secondary
schools in the city was at an all-time
low.
According to the report, 50 per
cent of pupils who complete Standard
Eight do not proceed to secondary
school due to insucient facilities.
The gap can be lled if 40 sec-
ondary schools were established at
existing primary schools. Besides, 40

Three MPs from Nakuru
have reconciled with the area
governor after weeks of a war
of words. The three recently
led hawkers in demolishing
flowers planted along the
town roads.
But yesterday Mr David
Gekaria (Nakuru East), Mr
Samuel Arama (Nakuru
West) and Onesmus Kimani
Ngunjiri of Bahati Constitu-
ency apologised to governor
Kinuthia Mbugua for oppos-
ing the demolition of illegal
business structures.
The trio assured the gover-
nor of their support to foster
development in the region.
The leaders addressed a
media conference after consul-
tations at the governors oce
which was also attended by the
county chief and several MCAs
from the region.
Mr Gekaria admitted that
they have been handling issues
unprofessionally and promised
they will consult more.
We have a responsibility to
the people who elected us and
they have a right to demand
services from us. That is why
we have decided to put our dif-
ferences aside and work as a
government, he said.
Mr Arama attributed the row
with the governor to misinfor-
mation by aides.
Were sorry, MPs tell governor

CONDITION OF ROADS IN UPPER HILL DISTRICT
A programme for upgrading roads in Upper Hill District commenced three years ago when
a Contractor was awarded the works for Phase I covering the following roads:-
1. Hospital Roads
2. Mara Road
3. Kilimanjaro Road
4. Elgon Road
The works cover approximately 5kms for a contract sum Kshs2billion. To date we
understand that only 50% of the works have been done although these works should
have been completed by July 2014.
Over the last two years, we have witnessed the suffering of both patients going to Kenyatta
National Hospital and the business community from uncontrolled dust and muddy roads
when it rains. The media from time to time has also covered the status of these roads
but nothing has changed much. All this time we have engaged the relevant authorities
especially KURA (Kenya Urban Roads Authority) with minimal results.
Upper Hill District is receiving substantial developments which will make it the largest
fnancial hub in East and Central Africa outside Johannesburg in South Africa. These
developments need to be supported by the usual infrastructure especially roads and
we are now starting to think that both the National and County Governments have not
appreciated these developments. These developments will contribute to the economic
development of our Nation including creating employment.
We are therefore appealing to businesses, Diplomatic missions and property owners in
the Upper Hill District to seriously lobby both Governments to ensure that the ongoing
works are properly coordinated and completed as soon as possible. The balance of the
roads which will come under Phase II require constant maintenance which is not the
case now.

In the matter of sitting allowances of Members of County Assembly
(MCAs) Nairobi City County
We want to take this earliest opportunity to correct the unfortunate impression created by the
misleading information published by the Offce of the Controller of Budget (COB) through its Third
Quarter Budget Implementation Review for the 2013/2014 Budget and published in the Saturday
Nation on 19
th
July 2014.
It is regrettable and unfortunate that misleading and inaccurate information was irresponsibly
published regarding the sitting allowances of the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of
Nairobi City County. The report of the COB cast aspersions on the integrity of the County Assembly
and its members and alludes to the fact that the County Assembly makes illegal payments.
The correct position with respect to allowances paid to the members of Nairobi City County
Assembly (NCCA) for the Financial Year ending on 30
th
June, 2014 is as follows:
1. The Budget allocation for Nairobi City County Assembly for sitting allowance for FY 2013/
14 was Kshs. 160,000.000/-; this is in public domain and can be ascertained from the
County budget.
2. All payments made to MCAs were as per the various Salaries and Remuneration
Commission (SRC) circulars to County Assemblies and at no time has Nairobi City
County Assembly ever paid its MCAs over and above the SRC limit or an average of Kshs.
262,088/- per month as reported.
3. The Integrated Payroll and Personnel Database (IPPD) records for July 2013 to June 2014
indicate that the allowances paid amounted to Kshs. 148,486,200/- as shown below:
MONTH TOTAL ALLOWANCES
1. July 5,027,000.00
2. August 11,012,000.00
3. September 11,649,000.00
4. October 14,400,000.00
5. November 13,468,000.00
6. December 9,260,300.00
7. January 00.00
8. February 17,301,700.00
9. March 16,172,000.00
10. April 17,136,600.00
11. May 16,719,500.00
12. June 16,339,700.00
TOTAL 148,486,200.00
4. This information was provided to the offce of COB through a letter dated 9
th
June, 2014
by the Clerk to the Assembly. The report in question was released to the public on
Wednesday 26
th
June 2014.
5. It is inconceivable why would the COB publish misleading information when they already
had accurate data from the Accounting Offcer of the County Assembly and verifed by the
County Payroll Manager.
6. If Kshs 148,486,200 was paid to MCAs as sitting allowances, then the average monthly
sitting allowance for the 127 MCAs including the Speaker was Kshs. (148,486,200 divided
by 128) equals to Kshs 105,459 per month per MCA and not Kshs. 262,088 as reported
by COB and widely publicized.
7. From our simple arithmetics, it is possible to conclude that the fgure of Kshs. 299.9
million was arrived at by the COB when she consolidated the fgure of 299.9 million from
the County Treasury and without seeking accurate clarifcation from the County Assembly
Accounting Offcer. The fgure of 299.9 million represents the total salary and allowances
for the period under review. The QUESTION IS why did COB lump up all the fgures
of salaries and allowances and called them allowances? Why not separate allowances
from salaries or even seek appropriate breakdown from the IPPD which is managed by
the Ministry of Devolution? This can only be attributed to recklessness, irresponsibility or
incompetence on the Offce of the COB.
8. The information that is in the public domain has left the perception that each of the MCAs
illegally earned the Kshs. 262,088 separate from their monthly salary which is not true. All
this information which we have supplied represents the true and accurate position of the
Assembly and is available for cross checking from our records and with the IPPD unit at
the Ministry of Devolution.
In conclusion, the offce of the COB is hereby requested to apologize to the Nairobi City County
Assembly, its members and Kenyans at large for publishing misleading reports, misrepresenting
facts and providing inaccurate information on the County Assembly.
As a leader in this County, I want to bring to the attention of the public looming threat on devolution
by incompetent and publicity seeking National Constitutional Commissions whose sole object is
to taint County Assemblies and MCAs in the worst light possible with the object of undermining
devolution and creating public disaffection to the devolved institutions like County Assemblies.

Turkana West MP Daniel

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Contestants in the race for
the Gatundu South parlia-
mentary seat have stepped up
eorts to win voters, barely
two weeks to the August 7
by-election.
Both Mr Moses Kuria of
TNA and Mr Joachim Kamere
of New Democrats Party spent
the weekend wooing voters at
dierent venues.
Mr Kuria attended a Sunday
service at the Kiganjo Catholic
Church.
Mr Kamere met various
groups. He eventually at-
tended a function at Kimunyu
centre, where members of the
Kikuyu Council of Elders en-
dorsed him.
The move by the 200 mem-
bers of the elders organisation
poses a fresh hurdle for the
TNA candidate, who has been
accused of rigging the party
nomination.
The elders vowed to cam-
paign for Mr Kamere and
ensure he won the seat. They
said Mr Kuria was a new-
comer.
Even a father does not give
away his daughter to a suitor
when he comes asking for her
hand in marriage for the rst
time, said Mr Kariuki Kibathi,
the council of elders Gatundu
Chairman. Mr Kamere has been
in the race before and deserves
the seat, he added.

Mr Joachim Kamere
Commission on grounds that
he had not resigned from his
position six months before the
election was being interpreted
as a boost to Cord.
Mr Semelangos candidature
had been viewed as a vote-split-
ting plot against Cord. He has,
however, said he will challenge
the ruling in court.
Some candidates appeared
in public for the first time
on Saturday during an open
debate organised by a local
NGO.
Mr Wanjohi opted for
closed-door meetings with
TNA members and opinion
leaders. He spent his weekend
in his Huruma and Kiamaiko
strongholds meeting strategic
groups.
He has been endorsed by
the Kikuyu Council of Elders
and another inuential Kikuyu
group in the constituency,
Muhiriga wa Huruma.
The elders have reconciled
Mr Wanjohi with his political
rivals, including the constitu-
encys only two TNA members.
Our mission is to consolidate
our votes. We are the majority,
said Mr Wanjohi. The seat has
serious political ramications

Knut and regional chief in war of words
over hiring of nursery school teachers

The Kenya National Teachers Union has accused
governors of usurping the role of the Teachers Service
Commission by employing tutors. Secretary general Wilson
Sossion termed the move as unconstitutional. Speaking
at St Catherine Church in Bomet during a fundraiser,
Mr Sossion singled out Bomet County as one of the
administrative units that had illegally recruited teachers
and posted them to schools. He told Governor Isaac Ruto
to his face that the role of county governments was limited
to building the infrastructure of schools. But Mr Ruto
said his government had not employed teachers but hired
assistants to tutor pupils. (See main story on this page)
Governors
revive push
for vote on
counties cash
BY GEOFFREY RONO
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com
G
overnors have reignited
calls for a referendum
to pressurise the
National Government to allo-
cate the devolved units more
money.
The county chiefs want the
allocation to go up from 15 to
40 per cent, Council of Gover-
nors chairman Isaac Ruto said
yesterday.
Mr Ruto said the council
would meet this week to draft
a Bill on the vote.
This is the only way the
National Government will
see the need to disburse more
funds to devolved units for the
implementation of projects, he
said.
The governor was speak-
ing at St Catherine Catholic
Church in Bomet East con-
stituency.
He was presiding over a
funds raiser for the construc-
tion of St Stephen Catholic
church - Kipkurion.
Mr Ruto, who was accompa-
nied by women representatives
Cecilia Ngetich (Bomet), Bea-
trice Nkatha (Tharaka Nithi),
Joyce Emanikor (Turkana),
Bomet East MP Bernard
Bett and Knut bosses Wil-
son Sossion (secretary general)
and Mudzo Nzili (chairman),
said the National Government
should not mislead Kenyans
that it set aside more than
40 per cent of the countrys
revenue to regions.
He said that for devolution
to work, the government had
to disburse more funds.
This (referendum) is the
only language they under-
stand best.
The Bomet governor
at the same time said his
government would resist
any attempts by the Bomet
County Assembly to reduce
the regions development
budget by more than Sh500
million to nance MCAs recur-
rent expenditure.
He said he was shocked
when, on arrival from a two-
week tour of the US, to learn
that the County Assembly
was seeking to have funds that
his government had factored
in for development diverted
to MCAs.
War of words
The governor was reacting
to issues raised by Kembu
Ward representative Julius
Korir who had accused the
county chief of underfunding
projects in his ward.
Mr Korir also claimed that
Mr Ruto was denying the as-
sembly more cash.
My government will con-
tinue pumping more money
to development programmes
and at the same time drasti-
cally reduce the wage bill
whether the MCAs like it or
not, he stated.
The representative had also
claimed that the governor was
frustrating development pro-
grammes at the assembly.
But the governor denied
the claims, saying the assem-
bly had diverted funds which
were for instance, meant for
the construction of washrooms
at the institution to unwar-
ranted training sessions in
Kisumu Town during the last
nancial year.
Mr Sossion petitioned gov-
ernors to use funds allocated
to the counties prudently and
desist from devolving corrup-
tion to regions.
This financial year, the
National Government has al-
located Sh226 billion to county
governments.
We are preparing Bill to pave the way
for referendum that will be spearheaded
by county chiefs, says Ruto
Background
Leaders have
diered with
minister
When Budget estimates
were released, governors
dismissed the assertion by
Treasury Cabinet Secretary
Henry Rotich that they had
been allocated 43 per cent of
the total Budget.
The county bosses said the
ministers statement that the
devolved units had received
28 per cent more than the
gure stipulated in the Con-
stitution was incorrect and
misleading.
Mr Ruto said the Sh226 bil-
lion that Mr Rotich allocated
the counties did not tally with
the percentage. The governor
asked why Mr Rotich based
his calculation on a gure
that was arrived at in the
2009/10 nancial year.

He said the group was responsible
for a series of robbery in Parklands,
Gigiri, Langata, Kileleshwa and
Westlands.
This gang operates together with
bank, insurance and forex exchange
employees.
He said they are usually informed
by their accomplices about withdraw-
als of large sums of money. They then
identify their targets and rob them at
gun point.
Several people, especially busi-
nessmen, have been robbed and
even killed. Mr Otieno said three
other members of the gang, includ-
ing a 69-year-old man, were gunned
down in May.
At the same time, police in Nairobi
are looking for a man who shot a bar
patron six times in the abdomen at

The two men, according to Nairobi

Court lacks
power to throw
out Joho case
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A voter who wants Mombasa Governor
Hassan Joho removed from oce over his
academic qualications says the court has
no authority to strike out the case.
Mr Silas Otuke has asked the governor, his
deputy and the polls commission to tell the
court which provision in the Constitution
grants a court the jurisdiction to dismiss a
constitutional petition.
Let them tell the court whether there is
any higher law which this court may use to
do such a drastic and draconian thing as
striking out a constitutional petition led
by a citizen, he said.
Mr Otuke further said the parties had not
cited any law.
He was replying to submissions raised by
the governor, his deputy Hazel Ogunde and
the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission in respect of a preliminary
objection led against the case.
In its submissions, the polls agency said
the petitioner was abusing the court process,
adding that he had led an election petition
disguised as a constitutional reference.
The three parties argued that the court
did not have any authority to hear the peti-
tion.

Slum dwellers ght
over land transfer
Nairobi | Estimated current value of property is Sh900m
the NGO would enter into a contract
of sale with the vendor on behalf of
the slum dwellers and proceed to
take a mortgage from Ecobank on
their behalf, he said.
Mr Magee said members of the
slum group agreed to pay Sh81
million for the land.
They raised Sh27.2 million and
the NGO secured a mortgage of
Sh55 million with Ecobank to cover
the balance of the purchase price,
said Mr Magee.
He added that members of
Mukuru Makao Bora serviced the
mortgage by depositing money in
the NGOs mortgage account with
Ecobank and settled the amount.
Mr Magee said the NGO had
refused to transfer the suit land. It
also declined to furnish the slum
dwellers with an account statement
showing how much had been repaid,
he added.
In a defence led in reply to
the suit, lawyer Waikwa Wanyoike
denies all the allegations.
The organisation did not enter
into a contract of sale with the
vendor on behalf of the group nor
did it proceed to take a loan from
Ecobank on behalf of the members
of Mukuru Makao Bora Trust, he
said.
We admit that we obtained a
mortgage with Ecobank for the
purchase of the suit property on
behalf of all beneciaries of the suit
land, Mr Wanyoike added.
He said the beneciaries agreed
to pay the principal, the interest on
the loan and any other incidental
expenses accruing from it.

GAZA CITY, Monday
W
orld efforts to broker a
ceasere in war-torn Gaza
gathered pace today as Israel
pressed a blistering 14-day assault on
the enclave, pushing the Palestinian
death toll to 558.
As Washington and the United
Nations demanded an immediate
ceasere in the battered Palestinian
enclave, Israel announced that seven
more of its soldiers had been killed
during ghting in Gaza.
And there was no let-up in the
Israeli oensive with another 41 Pal-
estinians killed in a series of strikes
across the enclave.
Israel also said troops killed 10
Hamas militants after they sneaked
across the border through a network
of tunnels that the army has been try-
ing to destroy in an intensive four-day
ground operation.
With growing concern over the
number of civilian deaths, UN chief
Ban Ki-moon arrived in Cairo for
top-level talks on ending the hostili-
ties, with US Secretary of State John
Kerry also expected to y in later
Monday.
In Washington, President Barack
Obama repeated that Israel had a right
to self-defence, but raised serious
concerns about the rising number of
Palestinian civilians deaths and the
loss of Israeli lives.
Following the deadliest day in Gaza
since 2009, with at least 140 Palestin-
ians killed on Sunday, medics pulled
another 68 bodies from the rubble on
Monday, emergency services spokes-
man Ashraf al-Qudra said.
And 41 others were killed in a series
of fresh strikes across the Gaza Strip,
at least 11 of whom were children.
Seven children were among nine
dead in an early air strike on a house
in the southern city of Rafah, and
another four children were killed in
another strike on a house in Gaza City
that also killed nine people.
And Israeli tank shells slammed into
a hospital in Deir al-Balah, killing four
people, among them doctors, Qudra
said, indicating at least 70 other
people were wounded.
Since the Israeli operation began
on July 8, huge numbers of Gazans
have fled their homes, with more
than 85,000 people taking shelter in
67 schools run by UNRWA, the UN
agency for Palestinian refugees, a
spokesman said.
By Monday morning, a UN school
on the outskirts of Shejaiya was
packed to overowing with people
seeking shelter, many sleeping in
the corridors, an AFP correspond-
ent said. And several families were
sleeping in the gardens of Gaza Citys
Shifa hospital in the hope they would
be safe from the bombing.
Meanwhile, in southern Israel, the
military said troops had killed more
than 10 Hamas militants in two ter-
rorist squads who managed to cross
the border through tunnels.
Later on Monday, the army said
seven soldiers had been killed and
30 wounded in ghting in Gaza over
the past 24 hours, without giving
further details.
The announcement came a day after
13 soldiers were killed in one day in
what was the highest one-day death
toll sustained by Israeli troops since
the Lebanon war of 2006.
Mondays deaths raised to 27 the
total number of Israelis killed, among
them two civilians hit by rocket re,
and 25 soldiers all of whom were killed
in the four days since a ground op-
eration began. Late on Sunday, the
Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades claimed
to have captured an Israeli soldier in a
report that the army said it was check-
ing, but Israels UN ambassador said
was untrue.
Meanwhile, Hamas leader Khaled
Meshaal and Palestinian president
Mahmud Abbas held talks in Doha,
pledging to work together for a cease-
re and to lift the blockade on Gaza,
ocials said. (AFP)

LOSS | More than seven months of war has left thousands dead
JUBA, Monday
S
outh Sudan rebels and gov-
ernment troops battled today
over the strategic town of Nasir,
the United Nations said, with rebels
launching their largest oensive since
an oft-broken May truce.
Heavy shooting continued for a
second day with ghting continu-
ing in the northern town and rebel
forces apparently in rm control
of the centre, UN spokesman Joe
Contreras said.
The United Nations warned on
Sunday that the fresh rebel oen-
sive represents the most serious
resumption of hostilities since
President Salva Kiir and his former
deputy, rebel leader Riek Machar, met
in May promising again to stick to a
January ceasere.
More than seven months of war has
left thousands dead and displaced 1.5
million people, and aid agencies are
warning of famine if ghting con-
tinues.
UNMISS, the UN mission, laid the
blame for the truce violation squarely
with Mr Machars forces.
The rebels claim to control the
town, their former headquarters,
located some 500 kilometres north
of Juba and close to the Ethiopian
border.
But the United Nations said that
ghting was going on, with the heavi-
est clashes today reported around the
government army barracks, just west
of the town.
UN peacekeepers remain in con-
trol of their base, where more than
two dozen civilians are sheltering
inside.
Fighting in South Sudan had eased
since May, in part due to heavy rains
that have hampered troop move-
ments.
Previous ceasere deals have failed
to stick, and peace talks in luxury
hotels in the Ethiopian capital Addis
Ababa have made little progress.
Last month they halted indenitely,
with both sides refusing to attend the
discussions, and blaming each other
for the failure.
Earlier this month the departing
UN representative in South Sudan
Hilde Johnson issued a scathing at-
tack on countrys leaders, lashing out
at both the government and rebels,
calling them a self-serving elite re-
sponsible for a looming man-made
famine.
Civilians have been massacred and
dumped in mass graves, patients
murdered in hospitals and churches,
and entire towns attened as urban
centres, including key oil-producing
hubs, changed hands several times.

Over 240,000 Cote dIvoire
refugees return home
Over 240,000 Cote dIvoire nationals who
took refuge in neighbouring countries at the
height of the countrys 2010-2011 post-elec-
tion conict have returned, a source from the
UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)
said on Sunday. Head of UNHCRs southwest
regional bureau Francois Kernin said the rate
at which refugees were returning to the coun-
try was satisfactory. Our main concern is that
they should return in better conditions, and that
the process is done securely and with dignity,
Kernin said. Cote dIvoire authorities and UN-
HCR have continued to work closely to take care
of the refugees returning to the country. UNHCR
resident representative in Cote dIvoire Moham-
med Toure said about 60,000 Cote dIvoire refu-
gees who had left the country at the height of the
crisis are still living in asylum nations. (Xinhua)
LIBREVILLE
Gabons opposition forms
coalition for next election
Several Gabonese opposition personali-
ties over the weekend decided to create a
new coalition dubbed Opposition Front
for Change, a source in Libreville has said.
Speaking after the ocial launch of the
coalition, the opposition leaders said their
outt will be used for taking over power
through the ballot. We shall bring change
and place the country back on track, they
said when they addressed hundreds of their
supporters. The founders of the new front
are former members of the National Union
party and Union of Forces for Change.
The opposition coalition is led by Jacques
Adiahenot and Jean Ping, former chairman
of the African Union Commission. Gabons
elections will be held in 2016. No one has
so far declared his candidature. (Xinhua)
In the matter of sitting allowances of Members of County Assembly (MCAs) - West
Pokot County
We want to take this earliest opportunity to correct the unfortunate impression created by
the misleading information published by the Offce of the Controller of Budget through its
Third Quarter Budget Implementation Review for the 2013/ 2014 Budget.
It is regrettable and unfortunate that misleading and inaccurate information was irresponsibly
published regarding the sitting allowances of the MCAs of west Pokot County. The Offce of
the Controller of Budget (COB) is hereby requested to apologize to the people and friends
of West Pokot County for publishing misleading reports, misrepresenting facts and providing
inaccurate information of the county assembly. The correct position is as follows:
1. The total budget for the salaries and allowances of our MCAs for the whole fnancial year
of 2013/2014 was Ksh. 120.8million; this is in public domain and can be ascertained
from the county budget in the county website.
2. By the end of the 3rd quarter, which is the period under review by the COB, an amount of
Ksh. 68.7million had been spent for salaries, sitting allowances and air time on our MCAS
as provided by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) guidelines. This was
the fgure placed in the report and published. Out of the Ksh.68.7 million (an amount of
Ksh. 48.6million went to salaries alone; Ksh. 14.5 million went to sitting allowances; Ksh.
4.2million to Management and other allowances; and Ksh. 1.4 million for airtime).
3. So, if Ksh. 14.5million was paid as sitting allowances, then the average monthly sitting
allowance for the 32 MCAs and the Speaker was Ksh. (14.5m divided by 33) equals
to....Ksh. 49,148 per month per MCA and NOT Ksh. 238,564 refected in the COB report
published. This is merely poor mathematics and poor accounting!
4. This is how the fgure of Ksh. 238,564 was arrived at by the COB. Since West Pokot is
among the frst 15 counties to impress the newest Government Financial Technology, i.e.
the Integrated Financial Management Sysyem (IFMIS), the offcers of the COB obtained
the consolidated fgure of Ksh. 68.7 million online and without seeking clarifcation from
the Accounting Offcer regarding the breakdown of the fgure, proceeded to analyze
and irresponsibly published inaccurate data. We know for a fact that most counties
are still using the archaic manual system of fnancial management and are yet to get
to IFMIS. West Pokot is way ahead of that. The fgure of Ksh. 68.7 million represents
the total salary and allowances for the period. The offcers of the COB took the fgure
of Ksh. 68.7million and carelessly divided by 32 MCAs (excluding the Speaker who is
also entitled to the allowances, for reasons best known to COB)...the answer becomes
Ksh. 238,564. QUESTION IS...why did the COB offcers lump up all the fgure of salaries
and allowances and called them allowances? Why divide the whole fgure by 32 not
even 33 that includes the Speaker? Why not separate allowances from salaries or even
seek appropriate breakdown if they did not know? This could only be attributed to
recklessness, irresponsibility or incompetence on the offcers of COB.
5. The information that has gone to the public domain has left the perception that each
MCA earned the fgure of Ksh. 238,564 plus separate Salary which is not true and is not
even allowable by law. We also did not have such amounts to be accommodated by our
budget.
6. If what the COB reported was anything to go by, then our budget of Ksh. 120.8million
would have been surpassed. All this information which we now give represents the true
accurate position and is available for cross checking from our records.
7. As leaders of the Assembly, the Speaker and the County Assembly Service Board take great
exception on the motive behind the publishing of the inaccurate information. The County
Assembly of West Pokot requests the relevant Committee of the Senate to oversight such
inappropriate and irresponsible behavior especially coming from respectable government
institutions. This is because the damage that such misrepresentation and inaccuracies can
cause to the affected institutions may be irreparable. It may unfortunately taint credible
institutions that do good work. The Speaker of the County Assembly has since offcially
written to the Controller of Budget, The Auditor General, The TA, The Senate and copied
to Governor West Pokot County, SRC and the Council of Governors.
In Conclusion, it is now very clearly evident that from the above revelations, West Pokot
County can not be second highest in the country in terms of sitting allowances paid. The
allowances paid so far refect prudent use of resources since the MCAs only got what was
duly payable and rightfully their authentic beneft. It is evident that the Members of County
Assembly of West Pokot are very responsible leaders. The Assembly too, has very competent
offcers.

BRAZZAVILLE, Monday
K
ey players in the Central
African conict launched
a fresh round of talks in
Brazzaville on Monday to end
more than a year of sectarian
bloodshed in the impoverished
nation.
The three-day forum for rec-
onciliation and political dialogue
is chaired by Congos President
Denis Sassou Nguesso as re-
gional mediator in a crisis that
has left thousands of civilians
dead and driven more than a mil-
lion people from their homes.
One of Africas poorest
countries, CAR has been in
crisis since the mainly Muslim
Seleka rebels seized power in a
March 2013 coup, with months
of atrocities by rebels gone
rogue sparking reprisal attacks
by Christian vigilantes.
Backed by a contact group
bringing together some 30
countries and organisations, the
latest talks aim to produce an
accord by Wednesday on ending
the violence, disarming ghters
and setting up a new framework
for political transition.
That would pave the way for a
hoped-for national reconciliation
council to take place in Bangui
in October.
Some 170 Central African
ocials are expected in Braz-
zaville, including members of
transitional President Cather-
ine Samba Panzas government,
lawmakers, envoys from armed
groups, political parties and civil
society.
But several political and
religious leaders in CAR have
boycotted the talks in Brazza-
ville, after calling for them to be
held at home.
Divisions within the mainly
Muslim Seleka and Christian
anti-balaka vigilante groups
also meant they struggled to
designate their negotiators for
the talks.
Thierry Vircoulon, Central
Africa director at the Interna-
tional Crisis Group, warned that
the lack of fully representative
envoys and the short time allo-
cated for the talks could hamper
their chance of success. Previous
peace summits held in Gabon or
Chad have produced no tangi-
ble results in eorts to end the
conict.
French peacekeepers inter-
vened in the former colony in
December last year, along with
a multinational force raised by
the African Union, amid fears of
a Rwanda-style genocide.
They are to be joined in
coming months by a UN peace-
keeping force of some 2,500
troops. (AFP)

to nalise
dialogue deal
KHARTOUM, Monday
The national dialogue mechanism
representing the Sudanese
government and opposition parties
have discussed the positions of
the two sides on a framework
agreement and agreed to nalise
it on Tuesday.
Presidential assistant and
deputy chairman of the ruling
National Congress Party (NCP),
Mr Ibrahim Gandour, after the
meeting told reporters that the
participants agreed to combine
the two positions papers and to
meet again on Tuesday to discuss
the remaining issues.
Made great strides
We have made great strides in
the way of dialogue. We discussed
the principles and objectives of the
dialogue, ways to create a conducive
environment, issues to be debated
in the process, the participants,
time and duration of the dialogue,
its venue and everything related to
the structures of dialogue, including
observers and facilitators and
others, Mr Ghandour said.
The presidential assistant further
said there is a broad consensus
among the participants, adding
that this spirit may facilitate the
conclusion of a draft framework
agreement before a meeting chaired
by president Omar al-Bashir on
Thursday. (Sudan Tribune)

MANILA, Monday
T
he death toll is still rising
and hundreds of thousands
of homes are without
power ve days after Typhoon
Rammasuns rampage through
the Philippines, authorities said
today.
Reports of fatalities from the
typhoon, which struck the ar-
chipelago on July 16, continued
to come in from isolated areas,
bringing the number of dead to
97, the National Disaster Risk Re-
duction and Management Council
said in a statement.
Ocials have said most were
killed by falling trees and debris
or knocked down by the storms
powerful winds.
Six people, most of them sh-
ermen who went out to sea, also
remained missing, the council
said.
The Department of Energy
said power had been restored to
many areas but about 280,000
households in Metro Manila and
surrounding provinces were still
without electricity.
Other provinces that felt the
storms fury also had only partial
electrical service as power com-
panies struggled to repair tens
of thousands of toppled electrical
poles, said department spokes-
woman May Militante.
The Manila Electric Co., which
distributes power to the capital
and surrounding areas, hopes
to have electricity restored to
virtually all affected areas by
Wednesday, the department said.
But areas outside the capital re-
gion may not get power back till
the end of the month, Militante
warned. However the country
will likely be spared the fury of
Typhoon Matmo.
It approached the archipelago
over the weekend but now appears
likely not to hit land but to move
northwest towards Taiwan, the
government weather station
said. (AFP)

F
amilies from around the world
continue to mourn the deaths of
their loved ones who had boarded
the Malaysian airlines ight MH17 that
crashed after being hit by a surface-to-air
missile in eastern Ukraine.
The crash which led to the deaths of 298
people took place in a territory controlled
by pro-Russian rebels.
Blame game in the international com-
munity continues as Washington puts heaps
of blame on the Russian government which
has refused to take responsibility sparking
an international debate.
And as nations continue playing the
blame game, families of those on board
have asked to be given the bodies of their
members.
One of the passengers on board posted
a premonition Facebook post that showed
the plane before it ew. He uploaded the
picture of the plane and captioned the
image: If it disappears, this is what it
looks like.
He was referring to the disappearance of
another Malaysia Airlines ight MH370 in
March which was carrying 239 passengers
and crew. The whereabouts of the plane
remain a mystery to date.
And, one Sanjid Sandu, a Malaysia Air-
lines ight attendant swapped ights at
the last moment on Thursday and boarded
MH17 in Amsterdam so he could get home
early. In an interview with CNN, his parents
said four months earlier his wife, Beegeok
Tan, also a ight attendant with the air-
line, switched ights in Kuala Lumpur and
escaped going down with MH370 which
later disappeared to date.
Fate has played a very unfair hand
against us, his father said. Mr Sandu leaves
behind a 10-year-old son, who says he now
has to be the man of the house. His wife
left a message on Facebook: We know
you are gone and wont be coming back.
I wish you a safe journey and I know you
will go to a much better place.
But in this case, the plane did not disap-
pear but crashed in Eastern Ukraine after
being hit by a surface-to-air missile.
The magnitude of the crash hit deeper
as the world was left mourning at the loss
of 108 Aids researchers who were ying
to a conference in Australia.
The team comprised sta from the World
Health Organisation and medical research-
ers, health workers and activists who were

Aids Conference in Melbourne.
Has been trading blame
Since the crash took place, the interna-
tional community has been trading blame
and throwing ngers at each other concern-
ing the origin of the deadly missile.
Russia has denied any involvement in the
crash, so are the rebels in Ukraine.
Yesterday, a chorus of Kremlin-friendly
media declared that the truth about what
happened to the Malaysian jet would likely
never be found out, accusing the West of
heaping the blame on Russia.
Western Press already knows who is to
blame for the loss of the airliner Russia
obviously, said popular tabloid Komsomol-
skaya Pravda. Mass-circulation Moskovsky
Komsomolets accused the West of pinning
the blame on Russia before the results of a
yet-to-begin investigation are out.
Those guilty have been designated, it
said, recalling that the United States had
falsely accused dictator Saddam Hussein
of having weapons of mass destruction in
the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
It is unclear whether it is possible to tell
the truth from the lies in this wonderful new
information world, Moskovsky Komsomolets
added. Government newspaper Rossiiskaya
Gazeta pointed the nger squarely at Kiev
authorities, accusing them of refusing to
cooperate with Moscow.
Kiev is not in a rush to answer 10 ques-
tions about the Boeing, it said, referring to
a litany of queries released by the Russian
defence ministry over the weekend.

Ukraine ghter jet near Malaysian plane before crash, says Moscow
MOSCOW, Monday
Russia today said its ight records show a
Ukrainian ghter jet was ying close to the Ma-
laysian passenger airliner just before it crashed
and that Kiev was operating radar stations used
for missile systems.
Moscow also denied supplying Ukrainian
separatists with Buk missile systems or any
other weapons, as it sought to head o inter-
national accusations it was responsible for
the downing of the Malaysian plane with 298
people on board.
Armed with a number of slides, charts and
images, two high-ranking ocials of Russias
General Sta laid out a case against Ukraine
at a specially called brieng.
Lieutenant-General Andrei Kartopolov said
the Malaysian plane strayed north of its planned
route, adding that a Ukrainian SU-25 ghter
jet, which is typically equipped with air-to-air
missiles, had been recorded in the proximity
of the Boeing 777.
The Malaysian plane deviated from its route
to the North ... The maximum deviation was 14
kilometres, he said.
An altitude gain was recorded for a Ukrain-
ian armed forces plane, he told the brieng.
Its distance from the Malaysian Boeing was
three to ve kilometres , he said, noting that
the SU-25 is capable of reaching a height of
10,000 metres for a brief time. (AFP)

million loan agreement with Ugandas

K
enya is pushing for com-
panies that derive most
of their revenue from
local markets to be exempted
from regional merger approval
regulations.
The Competition Authority of
Kenya (CAK) director general,
Mr Wangombe Kariuki, said the
country was lobbying to have
rms that raise at least 67 per
cent of their turnover locally
excused from filing merger
applications with the Com-
mon Market for Eastern and
Southern Africa Competition
Commission.
We are insisting that com-
panies that get much of their
revenue from one country
should have their mergers re-
viewed at the national level if
it is less than 67 per cent from
one country and the rest is
spread throughout the region,
then they can go to the com-
mission, Mr Kariuki said in a
telephone interview.
At the same time, according to
him, ocials from Comesa are
pushing for a higher threshold
of at least 80 per cent turnover
derived from one country before
a company is exempted from
the regulations.
The commission, which is
an organ of Comesa, began
operations last year and
quickly came at logger-heads
with national antitrust watch-
dogs that questioned the bodys
wide mandate.
According to Comesa regula-
tions, the unit is charged with
vetting any mergers and acqui-
sitions that have a regional
dimension within the regional
economic bloc. There have been
concerns over how widely the
regulations cast the net.
Although the law makes
provisions for the Competi-
tion Commission to set merger
notication thresholds in terms
of turnover or assets, no such
yardsticks have been set yet.
This means that very small
businesses carrying out cross-
border merger transactions
could theoretically be required
to notify it. Further, the ling
fees charged could be as high as
Sh44 million ($500,000).
Facing complaints from
national competition watch-
dog and business lobbies, the
Comesa commission decided to
review its regulations in August
last year.
The commission is respon-
sive to regional trends in which
African companies are growing
beyond national borders. Ac-
cording to Mr Kariuki, 69 per
cent of all mergers led with
the CAK as of June 2014 had an
international dimension.

ICT rms turn focus

Investors in the ICT sector will in

ment to enhancing service delivery.
A report released by the Interna-
tional Data Corporation yesterday
said funding in the sector was likely
to move beyond the setting up of
communications infrastructure and
networks to laying more emphasis
on accountability and delivery. The
report identies international devel-
opment agencies as critical in nanc-
ing the sectors growth, with the
World Bank Group taking the lead.
Kenya has certainly beneted from

Pyrethrum sector to be liberalised
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
The Pyrethrum Regulatory
Authority has put in place or-

of the release of new regula-
tions to guide the sectors
liberalisation.
Managing director Alfred
Busolo told the Nation that
once eected, it would take
a very short time to process
licences for commercial nurs-
ery operators and processing
rms, which have already sent
in applications.
The PRA is fast-tracking
the liberalisation because
we are keen to revive the
sub-sector, Mr Busolo said
yesterday.
He said the authority had so
far received ve applications
from local and international
investors, who wanted to set
up processing plants.
However, Mr Busolo cau-
tioned the farmers against
some people who were
claiming to have been issued
with licences and were dis-
tributing uncertied planting
materials.
We have not issued any li-
cences, and those distributing
uncertied planting materials
are posing a big danger to our
farmers. The government is
keenly monitoring their move-
ment, Mr Busolo said.
Many investors were hop-
ping that a year after the
enactment of the Pyrethrum
Act 2013 , the regulator, which
is now in charge of licensing,
would start to issue the per-
mits.

A
bankers lobby has begun
consultations with the Law
Society of Kenya and the of-
fice of the Attorney-General with
a view to bringing down the legal
component of third-party costs in
loan interest rates.
Kenya Bankers Association chief
executive Habil Olaka said yester-
day that eorts to reduce the price
of loans through transparency would
be complemented by a drop in high
third-party costs, which constitute a
signicant percentage of the total.
The lobby group said there was a
need to institute measures to cut valu-
ation fees, insurance costs and legal
charges to boost access to credit.
We are talking to the Law Society
of Kenya and the Attorney-General
to see if the Advocate Remuneration
Order Act can be amended to provide
room for negotiation on legal fees,
Mr Olaka said.
He said the digitisation of files
at the Ministry of Lands was also a
relief to the credit sector, as it would
reduce the turn-around time and cost
of property valuation.
Mr Olaka spoke yesterday during
the official release of the Annual
Percentage Rate - a transparent loan
pricing formula that is to be adopted
by all lenders.
Make up total cost
Under the mechanism, banks will
have to disclose the components that
make up the total cost of credit as a
percentage to their borrowers.
It is made up of the interest rate
component that is derived from Kenya
Bankers Reference Rate (KBRR) plus
individual banks administrative costs
and fees.
It also comprises a borrowers credit
risk as well as a banks prot margin,
which lenders believe will spur com-
petition in the sector those beneting
those seeking loans.
These disclosures will enable
borrowers to compare similar loan
products on a like-for-like basis and
get the best deal, said Mr Olaka.

basin leaving Swala Energy and its

the additional exploration period.
In a notice led with the Austral-
ian Securities Exchange yesterday
Swala Energy informed the govern-
ment of its intention to take up the
additional exploration period without
CEPSA.
Terms of production
The terms of the production shar-
ing contract on the block between
the rms and the government require
that they acquire exploration infor-
mation, also known as seismic data,
on an area of 300 square kilometres
within the block or drill one explora-
tory well during the additional term
of two years.
The recent seismic results have
provided the technical comfort to
both Tullow and Swala to make an
informed decision to proceed into
years three and four of the PSC
and we are excited at the prospect
of drilling the rst exploration well
in this frontier.
We do, however, regret that CEPSA
has felt it necessary to withdraw from
the licence after such a short period of
time as a joint venture partner, said

in a statement.
Swala Energy halted trading of its
shares on Thursday last week pending

GOLF | Irish star climbs to second in world ranking
Hoylake, UK
R
ory McIlroy has three of the
four majors safely in the bag
and he is already thinking
about adding the nal piece of golf-
ings crown jewels at Augusta National
next April.
The 25-year-old Irishman won the
British Open for the rst time at Hoy-
lake on Sunday by two strokes from
Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler.
It was less of a margin than the
eight strokes he beat the eld with to
take the 2011 US Open crown and the
2012 US PGA Championship, but it
was every bit as valuable to him.
He joined an elite group of players
to win three out of the four majors, is
the only the third - after Tiger Woods
and Jack Nicklaus - to do so by the
age of 25 and is the rst European
to win three.
A lot to take in at one time, but
McIlroy is a keen student of golng
greatness and he is aware of where
he now stands in that aspect. Yeah,
Im immensely proud of myself. To
sit here 25 years of age and win my
third major Championship and be
three-quarters of the way to the
career Grand Slam, he said minutes
after raising the Claret Jug in triumph
above his head.
I never dreamed of being at this
point in my career so quickly. The
Open Championship was the one
you really wanted growing up, and
the one you holed so many putts
on the putting green to win, to beat
Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Ernie
Els, whatever. (AFP)

T
he nal list of teams to compete in
the 2014 Airtel Rising Stars second-
ary schools Term Two B national
games is complete after the conclusion of
regional games at the weekend.
For the rst time, both boys and girls
national football champions will not feature
at the nals after they were eliminated at
the regionals, setting the stage for new
champions to be crowned in Kakamega
next month.
The 2013 national champions Upper Hill
and Olympic Girls failed to advance from
Metropolitan region games and the nation-
als could witness more upsets.
Upper Hills reign on the title came to a
halt after they lost 2-0 to Brother Beusang
of Kajiado in the nal of the Metropolitan
regional games, Evans Ochieng emerging
the hero with two extra time goals. Upper
Hill felt a sense of injustice after having
a goal ruled out in the second-half and
penalty appeals dismissed.
Olympic Girls on the other hand lost 2-4
on penalties to Matuu Memorial after a 2-2
draw after 120 minutes. Matuu will return
to the games after a ve-year absence. The
upset of two giants has led many to predict
that the national titles will not come back
to Nairobi, what with the inexperience of
the Metropolitan teams.
But Brother Beusang coach Mohammed
Kaka says the two teams have shown that
they are the best after knocking out the
favourites and will be a force to reckon
with in Kakamega.
We were considered underdogs but look
at what we did. We beat big teams and we

Kisumu Day beat Kanga 3-1 in boys nal
while Gekomoni defeated Nyakach 3-2 on
post-match penalties in girls nal to book a
slot in the nationals.

I have received lots of requests,
invitations and messages of support
from my fans in Scotland who are
looking forward to a great event.

will actually race re-

having expressed his desire to race
his preferred 200m. Track and eld

hold names, notably Farah, who will
compete for England.
The Somali-born double Olym-
pic and world 5,000 and 10,000m
champion will be going for the dou-
ble in Scotlands biggest city after a
troubled season during which he has
suered abdominal problems.
Farah had been undecided about
whether to compete after nishing
eighth in the London Marathon.
Fantastic boost for British sport
But his presence, with the 10,000m
nal on the opening day, is a fantastic
boost for British sport in the wake of
the London Olympics, when he won
his rst gold in an evening ses-
sion during which Greg
Rutherford (long jump)
and Jessica Ennis

DROGBA AT CHELSEA
GOING BACK HOME | His experience and winning mentality can inuence those around him
London
D
idier Drogba is poised to take
a step closer to realising his
dream of a return to Chelsea
this week. Talks have been ongoing
over a one year player-coach contract
which will see the 36-year-old Stamford
Bridge idol reunited with mentor Jose
Mourinho.
Drogba is understood to have already
texted some of his former Chelsea
teammates to hint at his return.
Chelsea have wanted to lower the age
of their playing squad but recognise
the signicant contribution Drogba
can still make to the club on and o
the pitch.
His experience and winning men-
tality can inuence those around him
while he has the ability to make an
impact from the bench as he provides
cover for main striker Diego Costa.
Chelsea have spent well this sum-
mer and will continue to add but have
lost Samuel Etoo and Demba Ba while
Romelu lukaku could yet join Everton
despite initially being recalled into the
fold. A player-coach contract though
would also fall more comfortably into
Financial Fair Play guidelines as part
of his wages would be absorbed into
the coaches budget.
Drogba first signed for Chelsea
10 years ago and left in 2012.
To confirm his departure,
Drogba told the clubs of-
cial website: I wanted to
put an end the specu-
lation and conrm
that I am leaving
Chelsea.
It has been a very dicult decision
for me to make and I am very proud
of what we have achieved.
But the time is right for a new
challenge for me. As a team we have
Drogba closer to Chelsea return
36-year-old striker is
likely to sign one-year
deal as player-coach
accomplished so much and have won
every single trophy possible. Chelsea
have wanted to lower the age
of their playing squad but
recognise the signicant
contribution Drogba can
still make to the club on
and o the pitch.
His experience and
winning mentality can
inuence those around
him while he has the
ability to make an im-
pact from the bench as
he provides cover for main
striker Diego Costa.
Elsewhere, Daniel Agger
claims he could quit Liver-
pool because last season was
not acceptable.
Agger, 29, was frustrated
by his lack of rst-team op-
portunities last season and
was unhappy at his total of 20
Premier League appearances.
The defender faces an even
tougher ght for a starting place with
Dejan Lovren poised to complete his
20million move from Southampton
and the Dane claims he will not tolerate
sitting on the bench.
The Liverpool vice-captain told a
Danish newspaper: It is no secret
that I had problems last season and
I am considering things.
How things turned out last season is
not acceptable for me. (Daily Mail)

match. The veteran striker is set for a return to Stamford Bridge.
London
Manchester United are close to agree-
ing a deal with Borussia Dortmund for
central defender Mats Hummels (left),
according to reports in Spain.
Sport claims the deal could go through
as early as this week as Barcelona have
pulled out of the running.
Hummels, 25, was a key player for
Germany during their World Cup tri-
umph in Brazil earlier this month.
Borussia have already signed Mat-
thias Ginter, 19, from Freiburg as a
potential replacement.
United are keen to sign a world-
class central defender following the
departures of Nemanja Vidic and Rio
Ferdinand at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, Wojciech Szczesny be-
lieves the signings of Alexis Sanchez
and Mathieu Debuchy will be key to
Arsenal sustaining a title challenge
next season.
Looking for a central defender
The Gunners have added the two
players already, with Arsene Wenger
admitting he wants to bring in another
goalkeeper and a central defender - but
no more attackers. Nevertheless, Szc-
zesny is happy with the work done so
far and wants a couple of new faces
to follow. He told the clubs ocial
website: Obviously you want to add
more strength to your team and add-
ing that little bit more quality to what
we had last year is only going to make
us stronger. Hopefully that will bring
better results this season.
You look on Sky Sports News and
you see whos going to sign for us and
talk about it in the dressing room - that
goes on for a couple of months.
Its always good when you hear
about big names and possible sign-
ings, and hopefully theres one or two
more to come.
United courting German defender Hummels
Arsenal are close
to reaching an
agreement to sign
Colombia goal-
keeper David Ospina
from Nice for a
reported $5.4million,
the French clubs
president conrmed on Sunday. There
isnt an agreement yet but were not far
away, Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere
said. The two clubs are understood to
have reached a verbal agreement over
the transfer, according to a source close
to the Ligue 1 outt, but the move has
yet to be nalised. Ospina, 25, has spent
the past six seasons with Nice and was
part of the Colombia side that reached
the quarter-nals of the World Cup for
the rst time in the countrys history.
TRANSFER TALK
Arsenal close to deal
for Nice goalie Ospina
Fernando Torres
is considering a
return to Atletico
Madrid if they can
nd the neces-
sary funds to buy
him. Atletico chief
executive Miguel
Angel Gil was in London negotiating
over the weekend but returned to Spain
on Sunday with the deal still unsigned.
Atletico were attempting to get Torres
for around 14million, which is well short
of Chelseas valuation.Atletico have de-
nied making any ocial bid for Torres
but there is an interest. The player, for his
part, has so far said he is happy to ght
for his place at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea
signed Torres for 50m from Liverpool
only three years ago.
Torres could return
to Atletico Madrid
Liverpool have an
interest in Karim
Benzema and Isco
at Real Madrid but
wont upset the
harmony of the
squad to bring
them in. Brendan Rodgers is signing Loic
Remy and Dejan Lovren while Divock
Origi will return to Lille on loan. Benzema
is close to agreeing terms on a new con-
tract and Madrid are keen to bring in an-
other striker as cover for him with Alvaro
Morata having joined Juventus. Benzema
would cost 40million and wages of
around 200,000 a week. It would give
Liverpool the star quality they have lost
with Luis Suarezs departure but is not a
simple deal. Isco will be pushed further
down the pecking order with the arrival
of James Rodriguez.
Liverpool interested

Marseilles France
international
Mathieu Valbuena
is in the process
of signing a EUR7
million deal with
Dynamo Moscow,
the ITAR-TASS

mos sporting director Guram Adzhoev
said the transfer was due to be nalised
last night. Its too early to say the deal is
completed, Sport-Express daily quoted
the Dynamo ocial as saying. The
negotiations are still in progress. Prob-
ably well nalise the transfer later on
Monday. The move comes following Val-
buenas participation at the World Cup,
where the little bike as the pocket-sized

A
teachers union has
shelved its call for a
nationwide strike after
President Kenyatta appointed
a six-member panel to spear-
head the appointment of new
commissioners to the teachers
employer.
The panel started its work
last Thursday and is expected
to advertise for the positions
before short-listing candi-
dates.
Last week, the Kenya
National Union of Teachers
(Knut) issued a seven-day
strike notice to the Education
Cabinet Secretary, Prof Jacob
Kaimenyi, demanding the
recruitment of the Teachers
Service Commissions (TSC)
top brass.
In a gazette notice of July
16, President Kenyatta de-
clared the five positions of
commissioners vacant and
appointed a panel to select
suitable candidates.
The panel will be chaired
by former Local Government
Permanent Secretary Karega
Mutahi, who he will be depu-
tised by former Education
Permanent Secretary George
Godia.
Other members are former
Knut chairman Joseph Chirchir,
John Kipkorir, Esther Muhanji
and Jean Njeri Muhoho.
TSC currently has three
commissioners: Prof Salome
Gichura, Ms Saadia Kontoma
and Mr Cleophas Tirop.
The panel is expected to
conduct interviews before
forwarding the names of the
nominees to the President.
Yesterday, Knut Secretary-
General Wilson Sossion said
the nationwide strike slated for
this week had been called o
to pave the way for the selec-
tion. He said the panel should
stick to the provisions of the
Constitution.
Knut will not tolerate any
other delay, Mr Sossion told
the Nation.
He said the teachers hope
that the new TSC commission-
ers will be in oce in the next
one-and-a-half months.
The clock has begun
ticking. We will be closely
monitoring the exercise to
ensure it follows the laid down
procedure, he said.
Selection is expected to be
complete in 28 days before the
President forwards the names
to the National Assembly for
approval.

War in
the skies
As the world struggles to
come to terms with the
downing of a passenger
jetliner in Ukraine last
week, history shows that,
in the rare but tragic
realm of civilian plane
shoot-downs, confusion
is always rife over
whether the target is
military or not
HIGH STAKES
DN coverstory
Trigger-happy men star in history of passenger plane shoot-downs
Siberian Airlines
Flight 1812
October 2001
The Siberian Airlines
Flight 1812 was shot
down and crashed
into the Black Sea
on October 4,
2001, killing all the
78 passengers on
board. The plane
was heading to
Novosibirsk, Russia
from Tel Aviv,
Israel. At rst, the
Ukrainian military
vehemently denied
its involvement
but later
admitted that it
has mistakenly
shot the
plane during
a training
exercise.
Lionair Flight 602
September 29, 1998
In 1998, Lionair Flight
602 fell into the
sea o the north-
western coast of
Sri Lanka and all of
the 48 passengers
perished. Wreckage
of the aircraft was
only discovered 14
years later, in 2012,
by a Sri Lankan navy
vessel. It is not certain
how it crashed, but
initial reports claimed
the plane was shot
down by Liberation
Tigers of Tamil Eelam
rebels. Following the
downing of Flight LN
602 all civil aviation
between Colombo
and Jana was
suspended for many
months by the Civil
Aviation Authority.
Transair Georgia,
September 1993
Three civilian planes
belonging to Transair
Georgia were hit by
missiles over three
consecutive days
beginning September
21, 1993. A total of 136
people were killed.
Two planes were hit
by Abkhazian rebel
missiles, with 27
people killed aboard
one and 108 on the
other. A third plane
came under re as it
was being boarded,
leaving one crew
member dead.
Iran Air Flight 655
July 3, 1988
On July 3, 1988,
crew on the US Navy
cruiser Vincennes
mistook Iran Air Flight
655, an Airbus A300,
for an F-14 ghter jet
sold to Iran before
the 1979 revolution.
The US Navy red
two missiles, shooting
down the jet. All 290
passengers and crew
members were killed.
Iran condemned
the incident, calling
it a criminal act,
an atrocity and a
massacre, while the
US maintained it was
a misunderstanding.
The case led Iran
to begin legal
proceedings
against the US in
the International
Court of Justice in
1996. The American
government later
compensated the
families of victims.

I
n the action-packed American
political thriller Scandal,
President Fitzgerald Thomas
is faced with a ghost from the
past code-named Operation
Remington. Turns out President
Fitz did not have a decorated
military service as the public was
led to believe. His career in the
military prior to his presidency
had pretty bad skeletons,
including a terrible mistake that
claimed 300 innocent lives.
In between the twists and turns
of cover-ups and guilt trips, we
learn that Fitz was in fact part of a
mission in Iceland that took down
a civilian airliner carrying more
than 300 passengers, including
the mother of his mistress, Olivia
Pope.
This act of terrorism comes
back to haunt him as it threatens
to destabilise the very core of his
administration and status as the
leader of the free world.
Trust Hollywood to think the
unthinkable... and man to make
it happen. As you read this, the
world is still trying to wrap its
head around the Malaysia Airlines
passenger jet carrying 298 people
from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur
that, it is claimed, was shot down
in eastern Ukraine by separatist
rebels last week. All on board the
Boeing 777 perished. Both the
Ukranian military and separatist
rebels have denied shooting down
the plane. However, pundits are
pushing several theories, the
most wild being that the plane
was mistakenly shot down by
the Ukrainian government after
it mistook it for the ocial jet of
Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The thinking is that Ukraine wants
Putin dead over his experiement
in the east of the country.
A Russian newspaper Russia
Today quoted the Interfax
News Agency as saying the
Russian President was ying
the same path over Ukraine at a
similar time on his return from
Brazil. However, this theory
was immediately invalidated by
claims that the report had been
contradicted by other news
outlets, which maintain that
Putin had not recently own
over Ukraine.
The reports might be
contradicted, but history shows
that passenger planes that have
been shot down in the past were
often mistakes. In the rare tragic
events of civilians plane shoot-
downs, confusion is always rife
over whether the target was
military or civilians.
History also shows that this is
not the rst time it has happened
on Ukrainian soil. It rst
happened 13-years ago. Here, a
brief history of shoot-downs...
An entire family of six that had
been returning home after three
years living abroad was among
the 44 Malaysians killed in the
MH17 disaster, media reports said
Saturday. Tambi Jiee, 49, and his
wife Ariza Ghazalee, 46, perished
along with their four children
when the Malaysia Airlines ight
went down in eastern Ukraine.
They were reportedly returning
to Malaysia after her husbands
three-year posting in Kazakhstan
for energy giant Shell, rst taking
a short European holiday. Images
of a wailing Jamilah Noriah Abang
Anuar, 72 Arizas mother
dominated front pages of
Malaysian dailies on Saturday. I
lost my daughter and her family
in a blink of an eye, the New
Straits Times quoted her as saying
from her home in the eastern
Malaysian state of Sarawak on
Borneo island. Ariza had posted a
photo on Facebook showing the
familys luggage as they prepared
to embark from Amsterdams
Schiphol airport for the ight
to Kuala Lumpur. 17 July 2014,
starting our new hijrah (journey),
Alhamdulillah (praise God), read
the accompanying message. Her
son Afzal Tambi also posted his
thanks and farewells to friends from
Kazakhstan on Thursday. Before
it gets too cheesy, I just want
to thank everyone who made it
bearable for me to live here and for
sharing with me amazing memories
to reminisce on, he wrote. The
Boeing 777 came down with 298
onboard in a separatist-held region
of Ukraine, with the United States
claiming it was shot down in a
missile attack, a possible casualty
of the Kiev governments battle
with pro-Russia rebels.
>> FAMILY WIPED OUT Number of people killed last week when a
passenger aircraft was shot down by suspected
pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine. Kuala Lumpur on
Saturday said vital evidence at the crash site had
been tampered with, calling it a betrayal of the
lives lost in the disaster. The integrity of the site
has been compromised, and there are indications
that vital evidence has not been preserved in place.
Interfering with the scene of the crash risks
undermining the investigation itself,
said Malaysian Transport Minister
Liow. Failure to stop such
interference
would be a
betrayal of
the lives that
were lost.

Trigger-happy men star in history of passenger plane shoot-downs
For Malaysians, this comes so soon
after the disappeared Flight MH370
THE DOWNING of a Malaysia
Airlines passenger jet with 298
people aboard heaped new
distress on a nation still stung
by the trauma and global stigma
of ight MH370s disappearance
four months ago.
For the second time this year,
Malaysians awoke last Friday to
black newspaper front pages
bearing the grim news of yet
another air disaster that left
dozens of their countrymen
dead or missing, and linking
their nation once again to a
dreadful tragedy.
Why is there no peace of
mind in our country? Tragedy
after tragedy is happening to
us, said G Subramaniam, whose
son was aboard MH370.
While exact responsibility
for the crash remains to
be established, the new
crisis is tearing open
festering wounds in
the Malaysian psyche
caused by MH370.
Just heard the
terrible news. I dont
think we are ready to
accept this so soon after (the)
MH370 tragedy, badminton
ace Lee Chong Wei, the
countrys top sporting star, said
on Twitter, one of countless
Malaysians to vent renewed
anguish on social media
following the latest crash.
With MH370, Malaysians
watched in dismay as their
government and a agship
national brand came under
heavy international criticism for
their inability to explain what
happened to the plane.
It mysteriously diverted o
its Kuala Lumpur-Beijing route
on March 8 with 239 passengers
and crew and is now believed to
have crashed in a remote part
of the Indian Ocean, though no
trace has been found.
Passenger relatives have
alleged Malaysian incompetence
and a cover-up, Malaysia Airlines
bookings have plummeted, and
the country has become the
butt of grim jokes worldwide.
Already fresh questions
are being asked of Malaysia,
particularly why the state carrier
was ying over an active war
zone.
Prime Minister Najib Razak,
who lamented after MH17s
crash that 2014 had been
a tragic year for Malaysia,
defended the airline, saying the
ight path was deemed safe
by international air authorities,
though Malaysia Airlines said
Friday it would no longer y
the route.
Suan noted that Malaysia
often riven by bitter ethnic,
political and religious bickering
found a rare unity in grief
over MH370.
Top opposition gure Lim Kit
Siang said Malaysians on Friday
reel with incredulity, shock
and grief at another major air
disaster to hit the country
involving another Boeing
777 jet in less than ve
months.
But Lim, normally a harsh
critic of Najibs government,
said Malaysians should rally
around the premier.
Some, however, believe MH17
will do further damage globally
to Malaysias image.
Their sense of pride and
well-being already dented by
the handling of MH370 by the
countrys leadership and the
airlines management, ... they
will be hard pressed to live
down this one, feeling accused
and held (unfairly) responsible,
not knowing how best to
express themselves and be free
of taint, said K S Narendran, an
Indian citizen whose wife was
aboard MH370.
Korean Airlines Flight 007,
September 1, 1983
Korean Airlines ight KAL 007 was travelling from New York to Seoul with a stopover in
Anchorage when it veered o its usual ight path into Soviet territory. Two Soviet ghter jets
intercepted the plane and ordered it to change trajectory, but the passenger planes pilot is said to
have failed to respond. A missile strike sent the ight on a harrowing tailspin into the Sea of Japan.
All 269 people on board perished, including 61 Americans. The incident added to the Cold War
intrigue and to this day is a favourite subject for conspiracy theorists. The United States at the time
dubbed it a massacre while the Soviets accused the US of hatching a deliberate provocation.
Inquiries since the fall of the USSR seem to point to the event being a sad misunderstanding.
Soviet leaders initially denied knowledge of the incident but later admitted the countrys role,
claiming that the aircraft had been on a spy mission.
Air Rhodesia Flight
825 (Hunyani)
September 3, 1978
This ight was
shot down by
Zimbabwe Peoples
Revolutionary
Army (ZIPRA)
guerillas during the
Rhodesian Bush
War. An attempted
crash-landing in a
cotton farm in Karoi
was hampered by an
unseen ditch which
caused it to cartwheel
and break-up. There
were 52 passengers on
board and 38 died in
the crash. The guerillas
then approached the
wreckage, rounded
up the 10 survivors
they could see and
gunned them down.
Three passengers
survived by hiding in
the surrounding bush,
while a further ve
lived because they had
gone to look for water
before the guerrillas
arrived. ZIPRA leader
Joshua Nkomo
claimed responsibility
for shooting down
the Hunyani on BBC
television the same
evening, saying the
aircraft had been
used for military
purposes, but denied
that his men had
killed survivors on the
ground.
Libyan Airlines Flight 114,
21 February 1973
At 10:30pm, a plane left Tripoli to Cairo via Benghazi.
Unfortunately, it got lost because of a combination of bad
weather and equipment failure as it hovered over northern
Egypt at around 1:44pm local time. At 1:54pm, the ight
started overying the Sinai desert, cruising at a height of
20,000 feet (6,100 metres) towards Israel. Two minutes later,
two Israeli Air Force F-4 ghters hurried to investigate and
they intercepted the airliner at 1:59pm. The Israeli ghter
pilots attempted to make visual contact with the passenger
airliners crew and tried to communicate to them by
signaling with their hands, dipping their wings and
ring warning shots that they should follow the
F-4s back to Rephidim Air Base. The 727 crews
response was interpreted as a denial of that
request. The 727 turned back to the west,
and the Israeli pilots interpreted this as an
attempt to ee and shot down the plane.
Of those on board, 113 people perished
and ve survived, including the co-
pilot, who later explained that the
ight crew knew the Israeli jets
wanted them to land but relations
between Israel and Libya made
them decide against it.
El Al Flight 402
July 27, 1955
The international
passenger ight
from London to Tel
Aviv via Vienna and
Istanbul strayed into
Bulgarian airspace
and was shot down
by two Bulgarian
MiG-15 jet ghters
before it crashed near
Petrich, Bulgaria. All
seven crew and 51
passengers on board
were killed. At the
time of the crash, the
Eastern Bloc and the
West had severed
their relationship
during one of the
harshest stand-os
over the Cold War.
After investigations
into the accident, the
following statement
was issued in a bid to
explain the probable
cause: The aircraft
sustained a hit or hits
which caused loss of
pressurisation and
a re in the heater
compartment. The
aircraft broke up
in mid-air due to
explosion caused
by bullets hitting
the right wing
and probably the
left wing together
with a projectile or
projectiles of large
calibre in the rear end
of the fuselage.
Just heard the
terrible news. I dont
think we are ready
to accept this so
soon after (the)
MH370 tragedy.

Arkia Airlines, Nov 28, 2002
Mombasa, Kenya
This was a near miss in a series of
terrorist attacks generally known
as 2002 Mombasa attacks. Two
surface-to-air missiles were red at the
chartered Boeing 757 airliner owned
by Israel-based Arkia Airlines as it took
o from Moi International Airport.
The Arkia charter company had a
regular weekly service ying tourists
between Tel Aviv and Mombasa. The
Kenya Police discovered a missile
launcher and two missile casings in
the Changamwe area of Mombasa,

The pitfalls of lightening your skin
BY DR TOROOTI MWIRIGI
nation@askadoc.co.ke
Dear Doc,
Is it true that lime or lemon juice
helps lighten skin complexion?
Roba
Dear Roba,
This is not true, and nowhere near
possible. Lightening results from actual
damage of skin cells by strong chemicals.
Dear Doctor,
I have black spots on my face? What
can I do to clear them. Please help me. If
its something I can buy, tell where.
Nancy
Dear Nancy,
Thanks for your question. Any blemish on
the face can be very distressing, especially
for a woman. Based on the information
you have given, it is not very clear if the
cause is acne. Have you been treated for
acne? If so, what medication have you
used?
The blackheads associated with acne
tend to persist, mainly because the dis-
ease occurs in cycles. Just as some are
clearing, others erupt, so the skin may
have spots permanently. However, there
is good news. The top layer of the skin is
replenished continuously, with the dead
skin cells peeling o and new cells taking
their place. And some of the treatments
result in the peeling of the top layer, al-
lowing for a new layer that has fewer
or no blemishes. This is a process. The
results dont occur overnight. Thats why
patience is required in managing acne. In
the beginning, the skin gets worse before
it gets better. But if you persevere, the re-
sults are worth it.
I would you not advise you to use
over-the-counter creams to clear the
blemishes. Some might bleach the skin.
If you have not already done so, please
see a doctor to determine the cause of the
blemishes and to help you manage them
appropriately. If you would like help in
identifying doctors, let me know and I will
help you.
All the best.
Dear AskADoc,
I have been interested in skin
bleaching creams because I would
like to change my skin colour to brown.
Kindly advise on a suitable cream that
doesnt have negative health conse-
quences but gives the desired results.
Njiiru
Dear Njiiru,
Unfortunately, changing your skin col-
our permanently is not something easy,
or advisable, to do. However, people
change their skin colour temporarily quite
often using applications such as tan-
ning creams or even the suns rays. This
makes the skin darker as a protective
mechanism against increased exposure
to ultra violet rays. This is what happens
when you spend a few days at the beach
in Mombasa, for instance. Unfortunately,
this change is temporary, and your skin
reverts to normal in a few days or weeks.
If you have an outdoor job or engage in
activities that see you spending most of
your time in the sun, then this darker col-
our will last longer.
I would strongly advise that you re-
consider your need to change your skin
colour. It is neither a realistic undertak-
ing, nor is it advisable. Please think about
what it is that makes you feel so strongly
that a darker skin would mean a better life
for you and discuss this issue with some-
one you can trust. You might be surprised
to realise that darker skin is not necessary
and would not really change your circum-
stances in any major way.
Let us know if you need assistance in
getting a health professional in order to
make a more informed choice.
Dear Doctor,
Does Carolight has any bleaching
eects like mercury. I have black spots;
can the product clear them?
Stella
Dear Stella,
Carolight has a two per cent con-
centration of a bleaching agent called
hydroquinone. It is actually a medication
used by doctors to reduce dark spots on
their patients skins. It is not dangerous
like mercury, but of course, like other
medications, it can have side eects such
as skin irritation, a blue-greyish discol-
ouration, or increased sensitivity to light.
In some patients, the dark spots reappear
when they stop using the medication.
However, despite this, the medica-
tion is not meant to be used indenitely.
Further, it should not be applied on areas
larger than the equivalent of the face and
neck or arms and hands at any one time
because might lead to over absorption of
the substance into the body.
It is always advisable to use such
products under the guidance of a doc-
tor. If youd like us to connect you with a
dermatologist in your area, please let us
know.
Dear Doctor,
I am a woman aged 50. For the better
part of my life, I had awless, very light
facial skin. That was until 15 years ago.

Any blemish on the face can
be distressing for anyone,
especially for women.
Blemishes come in various
forms, depending on the
cause. A fairly common
problem is the blackheads
associated with acne, which
tend to persist mainly because
the disease occurs in cycles,
suth that, Just as some

RESEARCHERS HAVE
found a more eective
treatment for one of the
most common causes of
infertility.
Women with polycystic
ovarian syndrome, or PCOS,
have many small cysts on
their ovaries, and eggs fail
to mature properly.
Infertility caused by PCOS
is usually treated with clo-
miphene (Clomid), which
stimulates egg production.
But letrozole (Femara),
a breast cancer drug not
approved for inducing
ovulation, might be a better
choice. (Both drugs are also
sold in generic versions.)
A study published in The
New England Journal of
Medicine randomised 750
infertile women with PCOS
to one or the other of the
two drugs.
After controlling for fertil-
ity history, race, various
blood hormone levels and
other factors, the research-
ers found that ovulation,
conception and pregnancy
were all signicantly higher
in the women who took
letrozole. There was little
dierence in side eects or
serious adverse events, and
women on letrozole were
44 per cent more likely to
deliver a baby.
This is another safe, simple
and more eective way to
achieve pregnancy, said
the lead author, Dr Richard
S Legro ofPenn State Col-
lege of Medicine. When we
can nd simpler solutions,
simpler than in vitro fertili-
zation, we should certainly
use them. (NYT)
A promising drug
against infertility
in the news
BY DONALD G.
MCNEIL JR
New York Times Service
AN EASY-TO-USE new
form of the injectable con-
traceptive, Depo-Provera,
was introduced last week
in Burkina Faso, the rst
of four African countries in
which it will be rolled out
this year.
The new form is a Uniject
capsule a plastic bubble
with a needle attached and
lled with one dose of the
contraceptive. Because it
is delivered just beneath
the skin rather than into
muscle, the needle is short
and slim.
It is considered so simple
that its backers hope to
eventually see women in-
ject themselves, said Sara
Tit, associate director of
global reproductive health
for PATH, a Seattle organi-
sation that develops health
technology for the poor.
Injectable contraceptives
that last for three months
are very popular in Africa
and some other places
where women might not
want their husbands to
know they are using birth
control.
Even though the Depo-
Provera brand is fairly well
known in poor countries,
the new form is called
Sayana Press.
A spokesman for the
maker, Pzer, said the name
was picked because say-
ana was thought to evoke
femininity and press is
what is done to the plastic
bubble.
Burkina Faso will initially
get 250,000 doses; the
Pzer spokesman would
not say how much the
company is charging. The
countrys health ministry
hopes to have contracep-
tion available to 25 per cent
of married women by next
year.
The device will be intro-
duced next in Uganda,
Senegal and Niger. (NYT)

The pitfalls of lightening your skin
THE AMOUNT OF MELANIN one
has determines ones skin colour.
Dark skinned people have more
melanin than those with fairer skin.
Genetic make-up determines the
melanin composition in an indi-
vidual. However, it is not the only
determinant. Exposure to sunlight,
hormones, skin damage and expo-
sure to certain chemicals can also
play a big role in melanin produc-
tion. Our skin is made in such a
way that changes to it normally
resolve themselves.
Skin bleaching is a cosmetic
treatment meant to make changes
to the skin, for instance to reduce
discolorations or to make the
colour even. As it happens, many
women carry out this treatment
not only on their faces, but on their
entire bodies in order to change
their complexions.
Skin lightening works by reduc-
ing the amount of melanin in the
area where it is applied because
the products usually contain an
active ingredient or a combination
of ingredients that might include
mercury, hydroquinone, sodium
hydroxide and steroids. What
makes skin lightening dangerous
and one of the most controversial
cosmetic treatments are these
ingredients.
In fact, mercury has been
banned in many countries due
to its adverse eects. Mercury is
dangerous because it can damage
the kidneys and is a threat to the
nervous system. Signs of mercury
toxicity include headaches, forget-
fulness, memory loss, insomnia,
depression, weight loss and dif-
culty concentrating.
Mercury can also be dangerous
to those around us; for example, a
baby whose mother uses beauty
products containing mercury can
be aected by it since it can be
ingested, inhaled and absorbed
through urine, sweat and breast
milk. Besides, it can also lead to
severe birth defects. Mercury is
also known to cause psychiatric
problems.
Another ingredient in some skin
lightening products is steroids.
The side eects of steroids include
swelling, slow healing of wounds,
increased appetite and weight
gain, muscle weakness, increased
risk of skin infections and thinning
of the skin. Steroids also increase
skin infections. One of the most se-
rious eects of steroids is Cushing
disease, which causes the malfunc-
tion of the adrenal glands, causing
an overproduction of cortisol.
Hydroquinone has been linked
to predisposing people to cancer.
It also inhibits melanin production
and thoroughly disrupts its syn-
thesis and production. Research
has also shown that it causes
leukaemia in mice and other ani-
mals. It has also been known to
cause leukemia in mice and other
animals. It has also been known
to pose a greater risk to African
women than to women of other
races.
It is imperative for anyone who
wants to lighten their skin to take
special precautions. First, you
should talk to a dermatologist and
ask for specic instructions for
using the product. Ensure that the
product you are using contains no
mercury. Some products may use
alternative names like calomel,
mercuric, mercurous, or mercurio.
Some of these products might not
give accurate information about
their ingredients, so it is advis-
able to be cautious. Ensure that
any skin lightening product you
buy over the counter has no more
than two per cent hydroquinone.
If a product does not specify the
amount of hydroquinine it con-
tains, its safer to assume that it is
not safe.
Most skin bleaching products
that dermatologists in Kenya use
are tablets and injections. These
tablets cost around Sh27,000 for a
pack of 30 tablets, which are taken
daily. Meanwhile, the injections
cost Sh7,000 per jab. Dierent
people need dierent numbers
of jabs or tablets to achieve the
desired results. What works for
one person might not work for
another.
Once one achieves the desired
result, they are should visit their
dermatologist regularly for review
and check-up. In addition, due
to the skin peeling process, fresh
skin is more susceptible to sun
damage, so you will need to avoid
unprotected sun exposure as much
as possible.
Remember that skin lightening
is a personal choice and therefore
dont let anyone or anything inu-
ence you to take this step. Your
face is your most delicate canvas,
so make sure you seek the advice
of a qualied professional if you
want to lighten your facial skin.

DANCING AT A heavy metal con-
cert could be bad for your health.
German doctors recently described
the case of a 50-year-old man who
went to a hospital after two weeks
with a continual and worsening
headache.
His whole head hurt, but he had no
history of head trauma, he denied
drug use, and a neurological exami-
nation and blood tests were normal.
A CT scan revealed a subdural he-
matoma bleeding into the space
between the brous membrane that
covers the brain and the brain itself.
Then he mentioned that four weeks
before, he had attended a con-
cert by the band Motrhead and
engaged in a form of movement
popular with heavy metal fans:
headbanging, which involves rapid
shaking of the head in time to a
song. Though the activity is usually
harmless, doctors found three cases
in the medical literature of subdural
hematoma caused by the practice.
Doctors drained the uid from the
patients brain and the man recov-
ered. The case report appeared in
The Lancet.
Dr Ariyan Pirayesh Islamian, the lead
author, a resident in neurosurgery at
Hannover Medical School, suggested
that hearing loss at a Motrhead
concert was almost certainly a
greater risk than a brain bleed.

GUIDELINES FROM THE National
Institutes of Health recommend fast-
ing for nine to 12 hours before taking
a blood lipid test, but a large new
study provides further evidence that
fasting is probably unnecessary.
Researchers used a large, nationally
representative database to study
blood lipid readings in more than
16,000 men and women. About
10,000 of the readings were taken
after a fast of more than eight hours,
the rest for less. Then they tracked
the two groups for an average of 14
years to see if a fasting or non-fast-
ing reading was a better predictor of
the risk for heart disease and death.
Higher readings of LDL, total cho-
lesterol and triglycerides did, as
expected, correlate with higher risk
for heart disease and death. But
when fasters and non-fasters were
matched for race, sex, smoking
status, diabetes, high blood pres-
sure and other characteristics, there
was no dierence over 14 years in
the predictive value of fasting or
non-fasting readings for either car-
diovascular or all-cause mortality.
There is no robust data supporting
the utility of fasting, and its high
time we stopped insisting on it, said
the senior author, Dr Sripal Banga-
loreof New York University. (NYT)

A NEW hepatitis C drug has
shown early promise in patients
whose infection with both HIV and
hepatitis C has made them tradition-
ally dicult to treat, said a study on
Saturday.
Patients were given Gilead
Sciences sofosbuvir, a drug ap-
proved for the US market in 2013
that has stirred controversy due to
its high price tag about $1,000
(Sh87,000) per pill, along with an-
other well-known drug, ribavirin.
The study in the Journal of the
American Medical Associations
(JAMA) July 23/30 issue included
just over 220 people who were
treated for either 12 or 24 weeks.
Most of the patients between
67 per cent and 94 per cent de-
pending on the type of hepatitis C
they had and whether they had ever
been treated for it before saw
their liver disease disappear and
stay away for 12 weeks after they
stopped treatment.
The measurement scientists used
was known as sustained virologic
response (SVR), or what is clinically
considered a cure of hepatitis C,
a serious and often chronic liver
disease.
The study ended 12-weeks after
treatment ended, so responses be-
yond that point are unknown.
As many as seven million people
worldwide are infected with both
the HIV virus and hepatitis C, ac-
cording to background information
in the article.
Treating both infections is dicult
because patients have needed to
use interferon for hepatitis C, which
interacts poorly with antiretroviral
drugs for HIV suppression.
Seven of the 223 in this study
discontinued the treatment because
of adverse events, most commonly
fatigue, insomnia, headache, and
nausea.
Researchers noted that the
study was not the most rigorous
kind. Doctors knew what they were
prescribing to patients, and the par-
ticipants were not randomised to a
comparison treatment or placebo.
However, patients had high
rates of sustained HCV virologic
response 12 weeks after cessation
of therapy, said the study, led by
Mark Sulkowski of Johns Hopkins
University.
Further studies of this regimen
in more diverse populations of co-
infected patients are needed.
An accompanying editorial by
Michael Saag of the University of
Alabama School of Medicine said
the drug combination is a quantum
leap forward in treatment, but that
its cost remains too high for wide-
spread use. (AFP)

people

world have
HIV, a toll
that mounts
each year
S
cientists on Saturday vowed to
press ahead with their quest for
a cure for Aids, despite losing a
veteran colleague and suering a
setback in research.
Addressing a symposium on the search
for a cure, Nobel prize winner Franoise
Barre-Sinoussi said the death of Joep
Lange, a frontline scientist in the 33-year
war on Aids, was a major setback.
He was rmly believing that a cure for
HIV was possible, as we all do, she said of
the Dutchman, who was on the Malaysia
Airlines Flight MH17 which went down
over Ukraine.
I am convinced that he, like the
other members of the HIV commu-
nity that were in that plane, would
have encouraged us to go on.
Barre-Sinoussi, who co-discovered
the human immunodeciency virus
(HIV) which causes Aids, launched the
cure campaign several years ago amid
skepticism by some that the goal could
ever be attainable. Despite this, optimism
has grown, and cure scientists are con-
dent that they know a lot more about
HIV.
After being beaten back by antiretrovi-
ral drugs, HIV retreats to a tiny number
of cells in the body, holing up there as a
safe haven, and becomes undetectable in
the blood.
But if the drugs are stopped, the virus
rebounds within a few weeks, infecting
CD4 cells in the immune system and ex-
posing the body once more to dangerous,
opportunistic microbes.
The six-day (July 20 to 25) International
Aids Conference in Melbourne, Australia,
which began on Sunday, will hear more
about the so-called kick-and-kill strand
in cure research.
The objective is to pinpoint these res-
ervoirs, ush out the virus with powerful
drugs and then destroy it. But a strategy
that sparked hopes of a cure delivering a
powerful dose of drugs at the earliest stage
of infection has been dealt a blow.
The hopes centered on an American in-
fant, known anonymously as the Missis-
sippi Baby, who was born with HIV. She
was given drugs immediately at birth and
t h e treatment continued for 18 months,
when physicians lost track of her.
When doctors next checked her
ve months later, they found no sign
of the virus.
In the run-up to the Aids conference,
though, it was discovered that after the
child had lived 27 months without HIV
and drugs, the virus had bounced back.
Jack Whitescarver, director of the Oce
for Aids Research at the US National In-
stitutes of Health, said this really demon-
strates that we are still in the early days
of research.
We will continue to make cure research
a high priority and use this information
to move the scientic agenda forward,
he added.
Another area of cure research is bone
marrow transplants to generate new, unin-
fected immune cells.
On Saturday, researchers at Australias
University of New South Wales said two
men with HIV now had undetectable levels
of the virus after receiving bone marrow
transplants for cancer.
In one case, the patient had a successful
transplant for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
His donor had one of two possible cop-
ies of a gene that gives protection against
HIV.
But in the second case, the man had a
bone marrow transplant for acute myeloid
leukaemia with a donation that did not
have the gene protecting against HIV.
Until now, the only person considered
to have been cleared of HIV was American
Timothy Ray Brown, who had bone mar-
row transplants in 2007 and 2008. His
donor had both copies of the gene that
protects against HIV.
Brown was able to stop antiretroviral
therapy and remains clear of the virus.
However, when two patients in Boston
had transplants without the gene muta-
tion, the virus returned after antiretrovi-
rals were stopped.
Sharon Lewin, a leading cure investiga-
tor at Melbournes Monash University,
said it was very premature to consider
the latest research a cure.
The patients are still on antiviral
therapy, so you cannot say that a patient
is cured of HIV until youve stopped the
treatment, she said.
Millions of lives have been saved by the
advent of antiretroviral drugs. Even so,
around 35 million people around the world
have HIV, a toll that mounts each year.
Wayne Ko, from the International
Aids Vaccine Initiative, said HIV was the
most complex virus ever encountered by
vaccine developers. But recent progress
in human trials and experiments on lab
monkeys showed a vaccine is possible,
he said in an email exchange with AFP.
Scientists hope for Aids cure
despite loss of lead researcher
Until now, the only person
considered to have
been cleared of HIV was
American Timothy Ray
Brown, who had bone
marrow transplants in 2007 and
2008. His donor had genes that
protect against HIV.
Since 1981, around 78 million people
have been infected by the human
immunodeciency virus (HIV) that
causes Aids. Thirty-nine million have
died from Aids-related illnesses.
In 2013, around 35 million people, in
an estimated range of 33.2-37.2 million,
were living with the virus, nearly 71 per
cent of them in sub-Saharan Africa. In
2001, the total was just under 30 million.
The toll of infected people is rising
mainly because antiretroviral drugs are
enabling millions to survive.
Around 2.1 million people contracted
the Aids virus in 2013, a fall of 38 per
cent from 2001, while 240,000 children
became newly infected, 58 per cent
down from 2001.
In 2013, 1.5 million people died from
AIDS-related diseases, a decline of more
than a third since 2005, the pandem-
ics peak year. In the past three years,
mortality from Aids has fallen by nearly
a fth.
TB remains the leading single cause
of mortality, accounting for around
320,000 of Aids-related deaths in 2012.
Even so, the tally has fallen by more than
a third since 2004.
Since 1995, antiretroviral therapy has
averted 7.6 million deaths, 4.8 million in
sub-Sahara.
12.9 million people in low- and mid-
dle-income countries, the bulk of those
infected, had access to HIV drugs last
year, compared to only 1.3 million in
2005.
The UN has set a goal of reaching 15
million people by 2015. But at least 28
million are eligible for the drugs under
WHO guidelines issued last year.
Money spent ghting AIDS in poor and
middle-income countries last year was
$19.1 billion (Sh21,661.7bn), an increase
of around $200 (Sh17.4bn) million over
2012. Of this, $9.65 (Sh839.5bn) billion
came from domestic sources. The UN
says the needs for 2015 will be between
$22 and $24 billion (Sh1,914bn and
(Sh2,088bn).

For a moment I thought
about my mother. Why did she
like beating me needlessly? I
would run away. Yes, I would
run away from home for good.
I would go very far. Then Mum
would never see me again. I
remembered Madoas words,
One day I will go, never to
return. Madoas mother often
beat him mercilessly. That was the main
reason for Madoas desire to ee for good.
Coincidentally, his mum had warned him
against associating with me. She claimed
I was a bad-mannered companion, who
would have a bad inuence on her son.
Anyway, I would never go back. Never.
I would never return to school. I would
accompany my friend Madoa to the US.
I recalled the many good things he had
told me about America. I was still think-
ing about these things when I was sud-
denly overwhelmed by sleep and started
dreaming
I was driving a huge luxurious car,
bigger than the one our local member of
parliament drove. It was black in colour.
Madoa was sitting besides me. He was
the navigator. We were cruising in the
middle of a megacity. The magnicent
roads had as many vehicles as the stars
strewn all over the sky.
Where are we? I asked Madoa.
Were in Cairo, he answered.
It cant be Cairo. Dont forget that we
are in America. Cairo is the capital city of
Egypt, thousands of kilometres away in
Africa.
Why do you always have to be such
a know-it-all? Madoa muttered bitterly.
If you know everything, why then do you
ask me?

The government is preparing its defence
before appearing at the United Nations Com-
mission on International Trade and Law in a
case in which Canadas Vanoil Energy is seeking
arbitration.
Energy principal secretary Joseph Njoroge
said the Canadian rm has written to the min-
istry expressing its interest in having the row
between the two parties resolved by the UN
agency.
Vanoil Energy is dissatised with the ac-
tion by the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and
Petroleum, Mr Davis Chirchir, of revoking its
licences for blocks 3A and 3B located in Garissa
in February.
This was after the rm failed to carry out work
as specied in the production sharing contract it
signed with the government in 2007.
These are expectations and they are allowed
for in the production sharing contract. They
have written about their intention of going for
arbitration and we have already started prepar-
ing our response, Mr Njoroge said.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a con-
sultative workshop of the World Bank-supported
Kenya Petroleum Technical Assistance at Utalii
Hotel, Nairobi, on Friday.
He defended the cancellation of Vanoils li-
cence, saying the ministry was keen on expedit-
ing oil and gas exploration.
Play hard ball
It is important that these resources are ex-
ploited as soon as possible. We must play hard
ball. We do not want to have people who just
delay on these blocks and deny a chance to in-
terested rms which would carry out the work,
said Mr Njoroge.
Vanoil Energy announced its intention to seek
a formal demand for UN arbitration on the mat-
ter early this month after Africa Oil Corporation
announced discovery of natural gas deposits at
Sala-1 well in Anza basin, where blocks 3A and
3B are located.
Vanoil said in their update that they believed
the value of the blocks had increased following
the discovery of natural gas in the area.
Increased value
Following the discovery of hydrocarbons with
oil in Sala-1 well, announced by Africa Oil Corp,
Vanoil believes the economic value of blocks 3A
and 3B may have increased.
While we would have preferred to proceed
with the two well programme approved by the
Ministry of Energy, we are looking forward to
pursuing all legal remedies, said Vanoils chair-
man James Passin in a statement.
In the arbitration, the Canadian rm will be
seeking to recover its investment costs in the
two blocks.
Local exploration blocks have generated in-
creased interest from exploration companies
following the rst oil discovery at Block 10BB
in March 2012.
This has prompted the government to embark
on revision of current petroleum exploration
laws and enlist the help of the World Bank and
the International Monetary Fund to develop
contract terms for companies exploring for
natural gas in a bid to secure maximum revenue
once production starts.
Delay in enactment of the revised law has,
however, derailed fresh issuance of licences
for blocks that have been surrendered by some
exploration rms, despite pressure piling on the
government to carry out the allocation.
Kenya is expected to start producing oil by
2018, according to reports by the Ministry of
Energy and Petroleum.
Since the rst oil discovery, 16 exploration
wells have been drilled, of which eight located
in blocks 10BB and 13T were found to contain
crude oil deposits.
Two wells are for natural gas and one, located
in block 10A of Lamu Basin and operated by BG
Group, has both crude oil and natural gas depos-
its, according to the Energy Ministry.

AN ARTISTES and performers rights
body is threatening legal action against
several companies in the country over
failure to remit royalties.
The Performers Rights Society of
Kenya (PRISK), which represents and
collects royalties on behalf of musi-
cians and actors, says it is on the trail of
several big businesses among them
several banks, a supermarket chain and
a bus company.
We are currently contemplating the
enforcement mechanisms provided un-
der the Copyright Act Cap 130 Laws of
Kenya and this may include arrest, the
institutions boss, Ms Angela Ndambuki,
said.
She added that banks are supposed
to pay an annual fee charged per
every square metre to entertain
customers in the banking halls through
background music or audiovisual enter-
tainment.
Sound or audiovisual entertainment
in the transport sector is charged on
the basis of eet size, with the average
rates of a company with 10 vehicles be-
ing Sh200 for sound and Sh300 for au-
diovisual entertainment for every seat.
We have some of the highest com-
pliant institutions like Barclays Bank
and Standard Chartered. However,
there are some that have not complied.
We are now mapping a way to enforce
the same, said Ms Ndambuki.
She admitted that the group, formed
ve years ago, is experiencing chal-
lenges in enforcing its mandate, under-
lining the possibility that artistes could
be losing millions of shillings in royalty
evasion by corporates and businesses.
Supermarket chains are charged an-
nually on the basis of oor size, just like
banking halls and similar big business
that entertain their clients.
The Perfomance Rights Society of
Kenya was licensed in 2009 by the
Kenya Copyright Board to collect remu-
neration from music users and distrib-
ute royalties to the rights holders.
It focuses mainly on broadcasters,
pubs, restaurants, event organisers,
disk jockeys, salons, barber shops,
chain stores and banks.

COUNTIES AROUND Mt Kenya are working on
legislation to govern coee production and
marketing so that farmers can reap more.
Through Mt Kenya Coee Federation, the
counties hope that farmers will access loans,
extension services and subsidised fertiliser,
while improvement of the local road infra-
structure would help ease transport.
Speaking to coee stakeholders who paid
him a courtesy call in his oce, Embu Gover-
nor Martin Wambora said governors around
Mt Kenya were looking for ways to eliminate
prot-sapping brokers.
He said use of the open window marketing
system would help farmers earn better prices
by bringing coee auctions to the counties.
Mr Wambora said they were counting on re-
vival of the Kenya Planters Co-operative Union
(KPCU) so that it can play eective roles in
coee storage, roasting, warehousing for ex-
port, bulk purchasing and storage of inputs.
KPCU is being revived and empowered to
better serve small-scale farmers who own 98
per cent of the organisation against large-
scale planters who make two per cent stake,
said Mr Wambora.
He said the move would help coee farm-
ers in the region reap huge benets, thereby
ghting poverty and cutting over-reliance on
horticulture.
Mr Wambora said crafting new legislation
would provide a competitive edge to regional
coee, which he claimed had the best quality
and was used to blend other beans.
He said his local government would help
farmers get easier access to loans, facilitate
formation and revamping of large coee soci-
eties and ensure proper management of cof-
fee business to improve quality and increase
production.
Currently, Kenya produces about 35,000
tonnes of coee, down from 140,000 tonnes.
The initiative seeks to empower farmers
through quality extension services, branding
of coee and creation of local and global mar-
ket links, Mr Wambora said.
Embu County produces an average of
12,000 tonnes of coee a year.
The governor said his government would
work to boost production by introducing the
high-yielding Batian variety of the crop.
The variety, which was introduced to Kenya
three years ago, is disease resistant, has larger
beans and increased production by between
12 and 20 kilogrammes per tree.
The breed also matures faster (18 months)
and ripens earlier.
The new variety requires less space. A
farmer can grow 2,500 trees per hectare,
compared with 1,300 trees per hectare of the
old variety. The county government will help
farmers acquire these seeds, Mr Wambora
said.
Counties targeted in the new initiative in the
coee sector include Embu, Meru, Tharaka
Nithi, Kirinyaga, Muranga, Kiambu and Nyeri.

Cable giant General Cables has an-
nounced its entry in Kenya, with an eye
on the booming construction and infra-
structure business.
The US-listed cable maker said the fu-
ture of its business relies on the two in-
dustries, which are robust in the region.
The rms general manager for sales
and marketing, sub-Saharan Africa, Mr
David Green, said the companys entry
in Kenya was informed by growing de-
mand for residential, commercial and
industrial buildings in the region.
We also hope to tap into the de-
mand presented by huge infrastructural
projects such as rehabilitation of air-
ports, development of ports, construc-
tion of geothermal and wind power gen-
eration plants, as well as urban housing
developments, said Mr Green.
Sales oce
General Cables has already started
operations through its sales oce in
Westlands, Nairobi.
The rm also plans to establish dis-
tribution points in the next six months,
possibly constructing a manufacturing
plant. This will help facilitate stocking
and distribution of its cables to East Af-
rican countries. During this period it will
invest in stock worth $10 million (about
Sh850 million).
General Cables products include cop-
per, aluminium and bre optic wire. Its
entry into Kenya follows a global restruc-
turing of its workforce early last week,
with a cut of about 7 per cent.
According to the business develop-
ment manager for East Africa, Mr Tom
Riungu, the company is restructuring to
invest in emerging markets with great
potential, such as Kenya.
The job cuts globally are amounting
to 1,000 people. We plan to save a lot
from this, noted Mr Riungu.
In a statement released on July 9, the
rm said it intends to save about Sh900
million, increasing to Sh6.5 billion by
2016, to reinvest in markets with great
potential.
Lucrative region
The restructuring also saw the closure
of some plants as the company focuses
on tapping into lucrative regions to in-
crease annual revenue. The move was
necessitated by uneven global demand
and pricing, coupled with a lukewarm
pace of economic recovery that is con-
tinuing to hinder growth, especially in
North America, Latin America, Spain
and Thailand.
As a Fortune 500 company top 500
American companies based on gross rev-
enue its entry into Kenya poses a chal-
lenge to EA Cables grip on the region.
East African Cables dominates the re-
gional market. It has a plant in Industrial
Area, Nairobi, and plans to set up a new
factory on its Sh250 million-worth piece
of land on Addis Ababa Road.
EA Cabless main market is energy
rms, real estate developers and telcoms,
an area General Cables also plans to con-
centrate on.
EA Cables said in a statement that it
was counting on increased demand for
its products in the region where govern-
ments and utility rms were spending
billions of shillings on power generation,
transmission and distribution.
We are ready for competition as we
have stepped up eciency at the Kitui
Road factory by installing modern ma-
chines, driven by increased demand for
products in the region, the rm noted in
a statement.
General Cables also plans to use Nai-
robi as its entry point to East Africa.
Its focus on Nairobi is also informed
by the recent discovery of oil and gas,
as revealed by Mr Green in a statement.
He, however, declined to disclose the
budgeted capital expenditure of the ex-
pansion.
We have already done the physical
set-up and we are ready to commercial-
ise our operations in Kenya and in the
region Mr Green said.
He added that the company had global
expertise in the cable eld, with 165 years
of operations in over 26 countries.
This will help us to smoothly ma-
noeuvre into the Kenyan market.

Companies in financial distress will
have a reprieve when the Insolvency Bill 2014
is enacted into law.
The Bill that is already published is expected
to cushion companies that are having cash
ow problems from the arbitrary decisions of
receivers.
It will also be easier to register a company
once the Companies Bill 2014 becomes law
as it will remove the requirement of a lawyers
certicate to certify documents that are lodged
with the registrar.
Removal of Certied Public Secretaries en-
dorsement during registration of companies
with capital of below Sh5 million is another
development meant to reduce bureaucracy.
This is a good law. It is expected that once
the two Bills are enacted, Kenya will move up
the ladder of the countries rankings in ease of
doing business, a member of the parliamen-
tary committee on justice and legal aairs, Mr
Irungu Kangata, said.
He is also a commercial lawyer.
The current insolvency law was enacted in
1948 and has been criticised by industry play-
ers as a kiss of death for being skewed in
favour of creditors, who are mostly concerned
with recovery of debts.
Most of them embark on selling the assets of
businesses that only need to be nurtured back
to nancial health.
The intention of putting a company into
bankruptcy is not to kill it but rather to revive
it, so as to protect jobs and creditors. But in
Kenya, the revival of Uchumi and Invesco com-
panies is a rare experience, said Mr Kangata.
He said insolvency practitioners who are in-
ept will be dealt with through the professional
body, giving stakeholders a recourse.
Scarcity of experts
There have been complaints about the
competency of people managing bankrupt
companies. Many have attributed the demise
of companies under receivership to scarcity of
experts in the area of management of compa-
nies under nancial stress, hence the introduc-
tion of specic qualications for persons who
will manage companies under nancial stress,
Mr Kangata said.
Most companies that have faced nancial
distress have ended up closing shop, apart
from Uchumi Supermarket and Invesco Insur-
ance that resumed operations after additional
capital was raised.
The government provided Sh675 million
loan to Uchumi Supermarket while Matatu
Owners Association put Sh 100 million to re-
vive Invesco Insurance.
The new Bill recommends a more ecient
and equitable administration of estates to
maintain fair balance between the interests of
persons, entities, companies and bodies, with
those of the creditors.
Mr Kangata said deletion of the receiv-
ing order from the current law will create a
situation whereby creditors go directly to have
companies adjudged bankrupt instead of the
current law that demands that companies be
placed under receivership rst. Proof of bank-
ruptcy will, however, be more rigorous.
For companies that cannot be saved from
bankruptcy, an orderly system of liquidating
them to ensure the various shades of inter-
est are factored in, will be put in place, that
includes administration and distribution of
assets for the benet of creditors.

Businesses should view humanitarian
crises as commercial opportunities if they
want to have the most impact in alleviat-
ing the eects of disasters while improv-
ing their bottom lines.
This is the startling conclusion that has
been reached by the Overseas Develop-
ment Institute (ODI) in a report released
last week.
After carrying out research in Kenya,
Indonesia, Haiti and Jordan, the ODI
found that private sector rms that had
approached crises as business opportuni-
ties were more successful in mitigating
the calamities than those that saw an
opportunity to carry out corporate social
responsibility (CSR).
There are several reasons why this
may be so. The research indicates that
the private sector brings with it a level of
technical and logistical know-how that is
sometimes not available in the aid-sector.
Business angle
Mr Vimal Shah, chairman of the Kenya
Private Sector Alliance, says that viewing
humanitarian projects from a business-an-
gle increases the level of accountability.
If you look at economic gains, you will
cut out wastage. Even if you dont plan
to make a prot but view the project as
a cost that needs to be recovered, there
will be more follow-up. There is a lot of
wastage inbuilt in the aid model of giving
things for free, Mr Shah told Smart Com-
pany on phone.
The ODI also argues that there is a de-
nite economic case to be made for compa-
nies to do business with those aected by
disasters, or the very poor.
Crises and humanitarian responses
to crises oer considerable opportunities
for rms to gain new customers, intro-
duce new products to customers, grow
relationships with existing customers and
enhance brand loyalty, the ODI notes.
So even when companies oer their
goods and services gratis to people af-
fected by disasters, they stand to gain in
the future as those individuals come back
and buy the same goods and services once
the crises have been averted.
The ODI notes that since the Indian
Ocean Tsunami over a decade ago, the
private sector has become increasingly
involved in humanitarian eorts.
In fact, ODI reiterates a growing hope
in the aid sector that the private industry
might do for humanitarian eorts what
Amazon did for the world of retail or
what Microsoft and Apple did for personal
computing.
Retain loyalty
Locally, the institute did a case study of
the Kenyans for Kenya campaign in 2011
in which mobile operators provided free
money transfer services in order to raise
funds for drought victims.
This particular model, ODI says, has
been seen in other disaster zones such
as in Haiti.
Companies that provide free money
transfer or calling services during such
crises are retaining the loyalty of existing
consumers while also luring new ones.
Companies that participate in humani-
tarian crises, research has shown, also
gain a better reputation. They are better
at maintaining high sta morale, recruit
the best employees in highly competitive
industries and create strong emotional
connections with their customers.
One of the competitive advantages that
can be gained from helping out in such ca-
lamities is improving the brand value. Or-
ganisations now realise that it is not about
the quality of what they sell, their goods
and services must also be seen as trans-
forming lives, said Chartered Institute of
Marketing chairman James Ngomeli.
The argument can be extended beyond
short-term, acute humanitarian concerns.
Even in addressing development issues
such as nancial inclusion and climate
change, business, rather than charity, may
do more to help.
Kenya is an apt example of this. Over
the past decade, millions of people have
been brought into the fold of nancial
services as telcom rms and banks adopt
a model of doing business with the base
of the pyramid. This is a market segment
that had remained neglected, viewed as
unprotable or dicult to serve for dec-
ades.
Eight years ago, only about 18.5 per
cent of Kenyans had access to banks and
a further 7.5 per cent had access to other
formal nancial services.
According to the 2013 FinAccess survey,
at least 65.9 per cent of Kenyans had ac-
cess to some type of formal nancial serv-

Does aid from corporates do more
harm than good when disasters strike?
Viewing calamities as commercial
opportunities creates more impact on
the aected while generating better
returns for the rms than turning

gave Syrian refugees free SIM cards and
airtime. Ahli Bank is also working with
the World Food Programme on an e-
voucher system for refugees.
During the 2012 oods in India, fast-
moving consumer goods company,
Proctor & Gamble, provided non-food
goods such as laundry detergents, soap
and hygiene items through Save the
Children organisation.
In 2011, over Sh1 billion was raised
for drought-stricken Kenyans through
a campaign between the private sector
and the Kenya Red Cross. Mobile opera-
tors provided mobile money transfer
services. The private sector was once
again involved in raising funds following
the Westgate terror attack last year.
In Lebanon, Swedish furniture maker
Ikea is developing durable houses for
Syrian refugees in a partnership with the
UNHCR.
The structures are supposed to last
three years, in contrast with the tradi-
tional tarpaulin shelters which last six
months. This technology could prove a
protable spin-o for Ikea after the civil
war.

ices. This has largely been changed by a
shift of business philosophy in the telcom
and banking industries.
Safaricoms mobile money product,
M-Pesa, was initially a donor-funded
project to address the dearth of nancial
and money transfer services among the
very poor.
This project would later be adopted
by Safaricom as part of its core business
strategy.
Today, mobile money is a key part of
Kenyas nancial ecosystem. It has acted
as a starter-kit for millions of people who
have eventually become users of main-
stream banking and nancial services.
In fact, M-Pesas rise may have been
inadvertently boosted by the 2007-2008
post-election crisis as Kenyans looked for
ways to send money during a time when
most banks and businesses had closed
down.
Preferred means
M-Pesa was launched before the 2007
election, and the ensuing violence, which
saw many banks closed for long periods of
time, made it a preferred means of money
transfer, both from cities to villages and
from villages to large urban camps of
people displaced by the violence, reads a
book on the history of the mobile money
transfer system, Money, Real Quick.
Equity Bank, with 8.5 million custom-
ers, is currently the largest bank by cus-
tomer-base in East Africa. The bank has
risen to these heights by doing business
with the poor.
This is a strategy that it plans on main-
taining even as it expands into telcoms
through its subsidiary, Finserve Africa.
Equity Banks guiding philosophy is
to empower the poor and, to the extent
possible, enable them to enjoy the same
quality of service as that which is enjoyed
by the auent, said Finserve in a recent
letter to the Communications Authority
of Kenya.
Billions of money to combat hunger in
Northern Kenya have had little or no im-
pact until Red Cross decided to approach
the crisis from a dierent dimension.
Instead of supplying food during drought,
Red Cross initiated irrigation schemes op-
erated as business, looping in the locals.
This model of doing business with the
base of the pyramid is now actively being
adopted in other sub-sectors of the nan-
cial services industry.
Insurance rms and pension schemes
have been pushing micro-products which,
while ensuring the nancial security of
the base-of-the-pyramid market segment,
also have the potential of increasing the
adoption of these products and driving
up prots.
Another emerging development concern
that is also being addressed with business
solutions is climate change.
The Kenya Climate Innovation Centre,
funded by a consortium of donors and
hosted at Strathmore University, was es-
tablished in 2012 to provide technical and
nancial support to startups that want to
address climate change. However, these
startups must become protable busi-
nesses, not charity bodies.
Make money
Climate change issues need to be miti-
gated but if companies embrace new ways
of doing business and looking at matters;
they will make money out of it.
For innovators and people-thinking
smart, it is an opportunity, said the cen-
tres chief executive, Mr Edward Mungai,
in a phone interview.
But gaining customer loyalty during dif-
cult times does not guarantee a business
success. ODI writes that following crises,
companies still have to work very hard to
maintain the quality of their products in
order to retain loyalty.
All of this, then, challenges what has
become the traditional model of corporate
social responsibility (CSR), which has
increasingly come under criticism as little
more than green washing through which
rms do more for their public images than
for the public.
Mr Shah is one such critic, dismissing
CSR as Cosmetic Social Responsibility.
Companies, he says, should strive to be
good in their supply chains, in their la-
bour policies and in their operations.
They should avoid doing good as an
after-thought to their business opera-
tions.
But companies in Kenya are spending
hundreds of millions on CSR.
Meanwhile, according to ODI, there are
social problems that should not be dealt
with as business opportunities.
For instance, the private sector should
not soon become one of the front-runners
in projects to address sexual violence.
In such areas, there may be an argu-
ment for charity. There may be a case for
donations to projects that are run by the
government or the aid community.

Chinese car maker Foton East
Africa crowned its ocial opening of a
Sh1.2 billion local assembly plant by inch-
ing closer to winning the planned Nairobi
county mass transport project.
The signing of a Sh6.4 billion deal
between Nairobi County and the auto-
maker last week underlined the rms
aggressiveness as it prepares to take on
established brands.
The two parties signed an MoU that
would see Foton supply the rst phase
of 2,000 buses in the rst ve years to be
used in implementing an ecient trans-
port system in Nairobi.
Foton EA entered Kenyas auto industry
in 2010 as an exclusive franchiser of Foton
Motors, dealing in the full range of Folan
Vehicle models, including pickups, SUVs,
lorries, tippers and prime movers.
In 2011, it announced plans to build a
local vehicle assembly plant, which would
be used as a hub for the rest of East Af-
rica.
Price advantage
Sitting on a 10-acre parcel of land, the
Embakasi-based plant has a production
capacity of 3,000 units a year.
The management believes the move
will give the rm a competitive price ad-
vantage.
It has many advantages that will fasten
the process of Fotons localisation for East
Africa, said Mr Calvin Guo, general man-
ager of Foton EA.
Imports of completely knocked down
units (CKD) for local assembly are zero-
rated, as opposed to a 25 per cent import
duty on fully made vehicle imports.
This gives the automaker greater pric-
ing advantage, coupled with Chinas re-
nowned low-cost production model.
The low-cost model will put the rm in
direct competition with Japanese and Eu-
ropean counterparts like Mercedes, Iveco,
Mitsubishi, and Nissan.
Mr Guo said the rm would also start
assembling Foton AUV public buses fol-
lowing the deal with the Nairobi County.
GMEA is the biggest seller of buses in
Kenya through the Isuzu brand, followed
by Toyota which sells Hino, and CMC that
deals in Eicher, MAN, and UD brands.
More Chinese are choosing our cars in
China due to their aordability. We want
to bring the same model here, he said.
Chinese rms have in the past made
considerable inroads in Kenya, riding
on lower pricing strategies. Fotons bold
moves may shift the local dynamics.
Economic slowturn
The Chinese domestic commercial ve-
hicle market has struggled to recover af-
ter the countrys economic slowturn, and
most companies have been leveraging on
overseas subsidiaries to survive.
Foton is an oshoot of Foton Motor
Company that was established in 1996
the fourth largest auto manufucturer
in China.
But the rm is locked in a tussle with
Thika-based Kenya Vehicle Manufacturer,
which accuses it of poaching its sta.
Mr Guo said, in an email, that indeed
human capital is proving to be a great
challenge in realising Fotons dreams.
Expanding its footprint
The opening of Fotons assembly plant
comes as the Jubilee government increas-
ingly favours economic ties with Beijin,
with China expanding its economic foot-
print in the country.
The value of Chinas exports to Kenya
stood at Sh21.1 bilion in May, according
to data by the Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics.
In his rst year in oce, President
Kenyatta visited China with a high pow-
ered delegation of businessmen as part of
eorts to strengthen ties with the Asian
giant.
The Chinese government has also done
the same, with its Premier visiting Kenya
in May. The two nations signed multi-bil-
lion-shilling economic deals.

THE MINISTRY of Mining has embarked on
restructuring that will see the establishment
of a revenue collection department, as the
government races to increase earnings from
the extractive sector.
Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala also
said two ocers from the ministry will be
deployed to the Port of Mombasa full-time
to monitor verication of minerals in a bid to
stem illegal exports.
We are restructuring the ministry in dier-
ent departments and we are going to put up a
revenue collection department. We are work-
ing with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)
to see how to share this responsibility of
collection of royalties. I am also working with
the KRA to improve on verication of these
minerals, said Mr Balala in an interview.
Last year, the country earned Sh19.7 billion
from sale of minerals, a 28.6 per cent drop
from Sh27.6 billion collected the previous year.
Mr Balala declined to give revenue projec-
tions for this year, saying there is a great need
to deal with key issues aecting the sector
before the ministry can declare any estimates.
Kenya has gold and rare earth metals whose
value is estimated to be in billions of shillings.
However, according to government records,
illegal mineral trading has prevented the
country from yielding a corresponding income
from mining.
The situation has also been worsened by the
fact that the sector is still reliant on the Mining
Act that dates back to 1940 which, according
to industry analysts, fails to take into consid-
eration recent developments in the business.
These include Devolution, which requires
that revenue from sale of minerals be divided
between the national government, counties
and communities living near mines.
A revenue sharing formula that proposes
allocation of 75 per cent of revenue from min-
erals to the national government, 20 per cent
to counties and 5 per cent to the local com-
munity has been included in the draft mining
Bill that has already been tabled in Parliament
for discussion.
This formula has led to a clash between
the Mining ministry and the Commission on
Revenue Allocation (CRA), with the latter ac-
cusing Mr Balala of disregarding its revenue
sharing proposal.
Revenue sharing
In May this year, CRA chairman Micah Che-
serem wrote to the Mining Cabinet Secretary
requesting that the commissions revenue
sharing proposal be included in the draft law.
.The purpose of this letter is to request
you to reinstate the revenue sharing formula
that we had recommended to you, read the
letter.
According to Mr Balala, while the CRA for-
mula was good, the ministry did not take
it into consideration as its implementation
would be lengthy. We have been engaging
with CRA for a long time and we have a posi-
tion as government.
Their (CRA) proposition was also very
good but it was more complicated in terms
of physical transmission of resources to the
counties. It has almost seven categories of
distribution of royalties, which is going to be
complicated, said Mr Balala.
Last week, the government entered into
an agreement to prevent illegal export of
gold from the Democratic Republic of Congo
through local ports.
Recently, four 20-foot containers contain-
ing copper ore belonging to BootCut Mining
Company were seized at the Port of Mom-
basa, totaling the number of such containers
conscated from the rm to 12.
According to the Ministry of Mining, BootCut
does not possess a mineral export licence.
Also, the ministry says the company had
fraudulently declared the consignment as iron
ore.

Scrapping tea levies would deal a body
blow to research on the crop, which is impor-
tant if Kenya is to continue accessing global
markets.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Felix Koskei
has faulted calls for the government to remove
tea levies, saying such a move would be expen-
sive in the long run.
Through a petition presented before Kisii
County Senator Chris Obure, tea farmers said
excessive taxation of tea threatens the future
of the countrys key source of foreign revenue.
The senator expressed concerns that tea
farmers were being subjected to over 38 levies.
Mr Obure particularly cited the ad valorem tax
charged at 1 per cent of value of tea exports,
up from 0.46 cents per kilogramme of the leaf
that was being levied before 2012.
The ad valorem fund is meant to nance re-
search that is mainly spearheaded by Tea Re-
search Foundation and Tea Board of Kenyas
(TBK). Cess is usually used for maintenance
of rural roads that connect tea buying centres
to factories.
But Mr Koskei said research is an expensive
yet critical element of increasing tea output.
We cant wish away research. Without it,
the country cant go anywhere. The govern-
ment is clear that we have to double the fund-
ing for research to competently nd solutions
to poor yields, Mr Koskei noted.
Senate Agriculture Committee chairman
Kiraitu Murungi had separately said that the
ad valorem tax could be revoked by the Agri-
culture Cabinet Secretary.
He said that farmers should be guaranteed
a certain minimum amount of money annually
even when total earnings from tea is low.
Ad valorem tax was introduced through a
legal notice signed by the Minister for Agricul-
ture. The Cabinet Secretary can still revoke the
legal notice, Mr Murungi said.
He observed that the levy was unnecessary
because TBK board members had not met
for the past 28 months, yet they collect over
a billion shillings annually: What are they
doing with that money without a board? Mr
Murungi asked.
Dr Moses Rugutt, the acting commission
secretary of the National Commission for Sci-
ence, Technology and Innovation, said funds
for research were still way below 2 per cent of
the national budget. Modalities are being put
in place to ensure the funds are increased and
channelled to the crops researchers.
Dr Rugutt admitted that increasing the
funds to 2 per cent would translate to between
Sh60 billion and Sh63 billion per year, from an
average of Sh16 billion annually.
We shall write a Cabinet memo to push for
a common pot for research funds. The rest of
the funds can be handled by the parent min-
istry. People can send proposals for funding
to the commission, which sets priorities for
research in Kenya, Dr Rugutt said.
However, he noted, most of the funds allo-
cated to research end up meeting salaries and
other operational costs, leaving an insigni-
cant amount for research.
Dr Rugutt explained that most of the re-
search conducted in Kenya is donor-driven,
making it impossible for the country to inde-
pendently prioritise research.
We understand that some players in the
government participated in the crafting of the
law that increased the funding from 0.5 per
cent of the national budget to 2 per cent. But,
the funding has remained low, he said.
Scientists attending a regional Consultative
meeting for heads of commissions from six
countries challenged the government to be
proactively involved in research if it was com-
mitted to achieve its development goals.
Dr Allan Liavoga, Bi-innovate Deputy Pro-
gramme Manager, said countries have a duty
to implement their policies and laws, adding
that no nation can develop unless it invests in
research.
You can set your agenda if you have your
own resources to translate to products and
services. The agenda will come from them if
the research funds are from external sources,
said Dr Liavoga.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, a fairly new
concept, is increasingly becoming an impor-
tant organisational success factor. How is
organisational knowledge captured? How is
it stored, shared and utilised to enable attain-
ment of organisational objectives? Concern
around these issues is making a huge dier-
ence between those organisations that suc-
ceed and those that dont.
The Siemens business services, established in
1995, has identied several factors for success-
ful knowledge management. It is established
that knowledge management requires support
and clear communication of the objectives by
management, as well as active sta approval.
You need to know the kind of knowledge
that is critical, and its origin. Knowledge man-
agement must be dened as an integral part
of the business process. For example, the Sie-
mens business services unit identied project
delivery as its core business process, and
project experience as its most valuable knowl-
edge. The process owners must be identied
and given dened roles and specic responsi-
bilities for output. Best practices for capturing
knowledge, and for achieving and retaining the
required quality, must be dened. This is also
referred to as the ltering processes.
It helps to remember that the economic
value of knowledge does not lie in possessing
it, but in the actual use it is put to. Indeed, in
due course, you will nd that when knowl-
edge management reaches a certain stage of
maturity, having information is no longer the
decisive factor for success, but rather how it is
interpreted and applied. That is why you will
nd it is necessary to look at knowledge and
its management in its entirety.
Knowledge management projects should not
run parallel to other projects. They should in-
stead be integrated into them. In many groups
within a company, there are many knowl-
edge-intensive projects, such as e-business
programmes, the success of which can be in-
creased by looking at them from a knowledge
management point of view.
Knowledge management programmes must
be aligned to corporate goals. Knowledge
management cannot be run as an end in itself,
but must be clearly aligned to the organisa-
tional objectives. A technical platform must be
provided, based on existing architectures.
Knowledge management must not appear
simply as a new tool to the employee in-
volved. Existing information and communica-
tion architectures should be part of the knowl-
edge management project planning.
To attain the desired success, it is necessary
to have pilot projects that are clearly dened,
with measureable objectives that can be
achieved in less than six months.
However, the change to a knowledge based
company involves a process that can span
several years. Planning the pilot projects, in
particular, is an important task for successful
implementation of knowledge management.
The pilot groups must be selected in such a
way that the results can be applied to other
groups, or at other locations.
Knowledge management borrows from
diverse disciplines and technologies. You will
need cognitive science, expert, articial and
knowledge base management systems. There
will be computer supported collaborative work,
library and information science.
You will borrow from technical writing, docu-
ment writing, decision support system, seman-
tic networks, relational and object databases.
You will also nd simulation, organisational
science, object oriented information modeling,
electronic publishing technology, hypertext,
World Wide Web, full text search and retrieval
and performance support systems.
Competitive organisations are paying in-
creasing attention to this critical area.

Institute of Management.

The key factors for successful management of knowledge
Question: Are there any quick ways to succeed
in business without spending a huge amount of
money on marketing?
Geraldo Kandonga Fillipus, Geraldo Finan-
cial Solutions, Namibia.
Unfortunately theres no shortcut or magic
recipe to success or if there is, I havent
found it yet. Creating a successful and prot-
able business takes time, since you build your
reputation as customers learn to trust and rely
on you, one by one.
Also, theres no guarantee that spending a
huge amount of money on marketing will sling-
shot your business forward. If you spend your
time looking for shortcuts, you will nd one
right out of business.
While there are no set rules for succeeding in
business, over my 40 years as an entrepreneur I
have embraced some rough guidelines that can
be very helpful:
Create a useful product or service
Above all else, you should not go into business
purely for nancial reasons. Running a com-
pany involves long hours and hard decisions;
if you dont have a better reason than money to
keep going, your business will more than likely
fail, as many new businesses do.
So its important to create something of use
that is going to benet society as a whole. If
you do something you truly care about, you will
be in a much better position to nd customers,
connect with them, and keep them coming
back.
Once you have decided on the type of product
or service that interests you, focus on how to
do things dierently from the competition: Do
your research, nd a gap or an area ripe for in-
novation, and position your business in a way
that sets it apart.
Simplify your message
Customers dont just shop for a brand and its
products, but also identify with its core values.
Ask yourself, why did I start my business? Be
honest this will help you establish an authen-
tic value and voice. Then distill your message
into something simple.
At Virgin, we stand for great customer service,
good value and innovative alternatives to our
competitors oerings. Most importantly, we
view business as a force for good. Knowing
who we are and what we stand for ensures that
we dont waste time or money on messaging
that doesnt represent us or resonate with our
customers.
Market yourself
Marketing is a powerful tool, but it doesnt
have to be expensive. My mentor, Sir Freddie
Laker, a man who had started a company to
challenge British Airways on their home turf,
gave me some invaluable advice when I was
starting up Virgin Atlantic Airways.
Knowing that we couldnt match the more es-
tablished airlines in terms of marketing budget,
he encouraged me to drive the publicity myself:
Use yourself. Make a fool of yourself. Other-
wise you wont survive.
I took his advice and Ive been thinking up fun
ways to stand out from the crowd and draw the
medias attention to our company ever since,
from breaking world records to pulling pranks.
While Ive always been interested in sports
and physical challenges, that might not be the
route for you. Find your tone, know your brand,
do things your own way, and create waves. The
free advertising will follow.
Embrace social media
Tools like Twitter and Facebook are wonder-
ful ways to get your message out to a wide
audience. Social media is not only more cost-
ecient than advertising, but it also oers great
opportunities for innovative engagement with
your customers. Use it to your advantage.
Remember that there is a dierence between
selling and marketing. In my experience, sell-
ing a product through social media doesnt
work its better to simply communicate with
your customers in an authentic way and have
fun. As you build an online prole that people
can identify with and trust, youll nd that they
will soon become customers.
The feedback you receive on social media can
be invaluable, especially when your business
is just starting out. Listen to your customers
comments about your companys oerings to
gain an understanding of what you are doing
right and wrong. You can also use this feedback
to sharpen your social campaigns and measure
the eectiveness of your calls to action.
Keep on enjoying what you do
If you genuinely love and believe in what you
do, others will take notice and share your enthu-
siasm. Geraldo, in your case, this might prompt
people to take out a loan with your company
instead of another provider, or encourage them
to recommend your company to a friend.
If you nd your interest agging, its time to
make a change switch from operations to
management, move on, expand into new ter-
ritories, anything that interests you. To nd
success, you need to be fully committed, or
your work will show it. Good luck!

in future columns. Send them to

BE WARNED IF YOU SPEND YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR AN EASY WAY OUT, YOU WILL FIND ONE RIGHT OUT OF BUSINESS!
Work smart! There
are no shortcuts on
the road to success
Running a rm involves long
hours and hard decisions; if

Ethiopian wine raises a cheer for economy
ZIWAY, ETHIOPIA, Sunday
Beyond the donkeys on a pot-
holed road in southern Ethiopia,
is an unexpected sight vine-
yards bursting with merlot, syrah
and chardonnay grapes ripening
in the African sun.
The scene is more reminiscent
of Frances Beaujolais region
than this corner of the Horn of
the Africa, which for many still
conjures images of famine, pov-
erty and war.
People outside Ethiopia may
know of the drought 10 years
ago, Industry Minister Ahmed
Abtew says. But when they see
wine with Made in Ethiopia on
it, their mind changes.
The French beverage giant
Castel, which bottled its rst
batch of Ethiopian wine this
year, is helping change the way
outsiders view the country. It is
also boosting government hopes
of attracting foreign investment,
key to its plans to reach middle
income status by 2025.
The countrys growth rates
are already among the highest
in Africa, hitting 11.2 percent last
year according to the govern-
ment, although the International
Monetary Fund puts the gure at
8.2 percent.
The sandy soil, short rainy
season, cheap land and abun-
dant labour were what drew the
companys billionaire president
Pierre Castel. The rm has been
working in Africa for half a cen-
tury, and in Ethiopia since 1998
when it purchased a state-owned
brewery, St George. (AFP)
