REACTIONS | Hundreds of jobs at stake as the Communications Authority of Kenya controversially switches o analogue signal

he government was yesterday locked

in an escalated dispute with broadcasters as authorities threatened
to punish the TV stations for resisting
attempts to put their programmes on a
Chinese-owned digital carrier.
NTV, KTN, Citizen TV and QTV went
o air on Saturday after the Communications Authority of Kenya raided their
transmitters in Limuru and switched o
their analogue equipment.
Yesterday, Information, Communication
and Technology Secretary Fred Matiangi
threatened unspecied action against the
media owners for ceasing broadcasting.
Africa Digital Networks Ltd, a consortium formed by the three rms, responded
by saying that it was the government that
had switched o the signal and the consortium does not as yet have the equipment
in place for digital broadcasting.
The three leading private media companies, including the Nation Media Group,
which owns the Daily Nation, NTV and
QTV, have been involved in a bitter contest
with the government over the distribution
of digital signals.
On its part, the government appears
desperately determined to make sure that
the big media put their content on a Chinese-owned digital platform, among other
conditions. With equal determination, the
broadcasters appear to have decided to
avoid that outcome at all costs. As a result,
the governments regulatory credibility as
a disinterested arbiter is now in tatters
and the big media risk losing hundreds
of millions in advertising revenue, not to
mention the danger posed to hundreds of
media and creative jobs.
Kenya has one of the most independent,
professional and protable media companies on the continent, which has attracted
the interest of international entities, such
as those from China.
In the ght, the government has painted
the local broadcasters as arrogant, accus-

ing them of standing in the way of digital
progress and harming national interest for
the sake of prots.
Local media, on the other hand, say
the government is out to harm local businesses, which have already invested billions
of shillings and employed thousands of
workers. They also accuse the government
of putting the interest of a foreign rm
ahead of those of local ones. Questions
have also been raised about the integrity
of media content to the Chinese, who are
notorious censors.
As a result of the dispute, the Nation
Media Group (NTV and QTV), the Standard
Group (KTN) and Royal Media Services
(Citizen TV), which together account for
90 per cent of television viewership in
the country, are o air, leaving the public
without an independent source of news
and information.
Yesterday, Dr Matiangi swore that the
government would not backtrack on digital
migration and accused the ADN consortium

members of switching themselves o.

Both switching themselves off the
digital transmission and screening inaccurate messages is both illegal and in
blatant breach of the conditions of their
licensing, he said.
He added that the communications
regulator had not switched o the digital
transmitters of the three media houses and
neither had it asked any of the broadcast
signal distributors (BSDs) to remove the
three media houses from their platforms.
The BSDs are the government-owned
Signet (which broadcasts KBC) and the
wholly Chinese owned Pan Africa Group
(Pang), among others.
The three media houses, however, maintained that the switching o of analogue
transmission was to force them to put their
channels on either Pang or Signet, which
would be inconsistent with the right to
carry their own content as provided by
the Self Provisioning Licence reinstated
by the Supreme Court last Friday.

The forcible shutdown of analogue

broadcasting was clearly calculated at
forcing the three media houses to provide
their signal for distribution by the government-owned Signet and the governments
preferred Chinese-owned distributor Pan
Africa Group (Pang) that also operates Pay
TV service Star Times, they said.
The three media houses have also accused the Cabinet secretary of issuing a
statement laced with threats and aimed
at intimidating them into giving in to the
contentious, pre-determined and altogether unacceptable position taken by
the CA on digital signal distribution.
Dr Matiangi said the government expects the Communications Authority of
Kenya to take independent regulatory
action against the media houses for
switching themselves o and displaying
inaccurate and misleading messages
which, he claimed, was a deliberate eort
to incite the public.

Destroy TV industry

The Cabinet secretary was probably

hinting at the possibility of cancelling the
broadcast licences of the three broadcasters, which would potentially destroy 90 per
cent of the Kenyan TV industry.
What puzzles even independent analysts
is what regulatory or national interest is
served by forcing media companies to put
their signal on the platform favoured by the
authorities. Left to themselves, the media
companies are able to buy the equipment
and distribute their own digital signals
well within the continental digital migration deadlines.
But with the regulator and the ministry
appearing to run interference for a section of the industry, court battles and
the threat of cancellation of licences,
an otherwise straight forward issue has
become a crisis.
The TV switch-o has triggered accusations from Cord leaders Raila Odinga
and Kalonzo Musyoka and Amani leader
Musalia Mudavadi, who separately said the
move was in bad faith.

What main TV stations

signal switch-o means
BY NATION REPORTER
Kenyans are now relying on
two TV stations for their news
after the government switched
o the signals of the three main
players.
The switch-o of NTV, QTV,
KTN and Citizen TV, which collectively control over 90 per
cent of viewership in Kenya
has left viewers with KBC TV
Channel 1 (right) and K24 TV
as news channels.
The Communication Authority of Kenya raided the
TV stations transmissions
on Saturday and cut o viewers from news.
The government has been
at the forefront pushing for
migration to the digital platform. In all this, the State
has ignored a request by the
main players for more time to
acquire required equipment to
start digital broadcasting.
KBC is controlled by the government while K24 TV is part
of the Mediamax Network Ltd,
whose ownership is associated
with the Kenyatta family.

K24 is a relatively young TV

station that was rebranded last
year, but it is yet to establish
itself as an authoritative and
incisive broadcaster.
The other TV stations such
as Kiss TV are purely entertainment stations.
Family TV, which is a free to
air Christian station, does not
broadcast news.
The government has thus
conned Kenyans to limited
news broadcasts as the country will now have to do with
KBC and K24 until the matter
is sorted out.

BACKGROUND

How Kenya found

itself in a quagmire

BY NATION TEAM

he nationwide uproar against the

switching o of the signals of four
national television stations continued yesterday, with political leaders and
furious citizens asking the government to
act in the national interest and switch on
the stations.
Cord leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo
Musyoka and Amani leader Musalia Mudavadi separately said the move by the
Communications Authority of Kenya to
switch o the three main broadcasters
NTV and QTV, Citizen and KTN was
taken in bad faith and was an aront on
local investors.
Jubilee must explain what its interests
are in keeping Kenyans in information
darkness and Kenyans must demand their
right to information, said Mr Odinga in
a statement to newsrooms.
In Mombasa, Mvita MP Abdulswamad
Nassir said the switch o was uncalled
for.
Justice should have been done by giving the media houses more time as they
had requested, to import the equipment
they needed to change from analogue to
digital TV, said the MP.
Leaders and residents of Kisumu also
condemned the switch-o, saying decoders
were too expensive.
Residents said they had opted to stay
in the dark awaiting the availability of
the free-to-air set-top boxes promised by
the three leading media houses working
under the Africa Digital Network (ADN)
consortium.
Nyalenda A Ward Representative Jackton
Onunga and a manager, Ms Doris Ombara,
said it was not fair to force Kenyans move
to the digital platform before the relevant
TV stations were ready.
Let us wait for these majority TV stations to prepare themselves before the
switch o, said Ms Ombara.

government that should protect the interest of Kenyans, said Mr Onunga.

In the North Rift, leaders and farmers
described the switch o as biased and
uncalled for.
The leaders said local media houses had
been mishandled just to cushion foreign
investors attempts to get a footing in the
market.
Leaders from Trans Nzoia and West
Pokot counties said the Communications
Authority of Kenya should not shrug o
the issues being raised by NTV, QTV, KTN
and Citizen TV.
West Pokot Governor Simon Kachapin
said as an arbitrator, the authority had
failed the free-to-air TV channels by not
putting their pertinent issues into consideration.
Forcible transition to digital TV without
proper structures is an onslaught to many
Kenyans who have no set-top boxes, Mr
Kachapin said in Kitale.
Meanwhile, Trans Nzoia County executive ocer in charge of information
communication technology, Dr Isaac
Kogo, said it was unfair for the government to give high priority to foreign pay
television companies at the expense of
local ones.
Let us not undermine the socioeconomic transformation that has been
driven by our local media houses. This is

oppression of the freedom of the media,

said Dr Kogo.
Keiyo Ward MCA Emmanuel Waswa
wondered why the communications
regulator was implementing the Friday
court ruling to suit its interests.
Separately, Sikhendu Ward MCA Andrew
Kutitila criticised the manner in which
the national government was promoting
foreign and select locals channels.
How can you just overlook a market
player that controls more than 80 per cent
with free content to unfairly give an upper
hand to foreign and few local channels?
he asked.
The area Kenya National Chamber
of Commerce and Industry executive
ocer, Mr Martin Waliaula, wondered
why the authority felt threatened by the
planned importation of cheap set-top
boxes by the three media houses.
What is the authoritys fear? Is there
fear that cheap set-boxes will be a big
blow to the foreign pay TV channels who
are cashing in on the digital migration?
he asked.
In the North Rift, Kenya Farmers Association director Kipkorir Menjo accused
the government of weakening the three big
media houses for the benet of foreign
competitors.
Many of the people interviewed in
Eldoret believe the three media houses

In 2006, 116 countries met at a

Geneva, Switzerland and agreed
to leap from analogue to digital
broadcasting by June 17, 2015.
The talks developed a frequency
plan for digital broadcasting and
Kenya being a member of the International Telecommunication Union
agreed to these terms.
In March 2007, the digital migration taskforce was established by
the minister of Information and
Communications to prepare the
country for a smooth transition to
digital broadcasting.
On December 9, 2009, President
Mwai Kibaki set December 31, 2012,
as the deadline to make the digital
switch. Consequently, Signet, a
subsidiary of KBC was licensed to
be a digital signal distributor.
By 2011, Pan-Africa Network Group

distribute signals in the country.

In Nyeri, youth leader Kamau Gatwechi said Nyeri people were confused
over what set-top boxes they should buy
to continue enjoying their favourite TV

he government yesterday
maintained it will not
backtrack on its quest to
move the country from analogue
to digital broadcast platforms in
spite of calls by media owners to
be given more time to acquire
the right equipment.
Information Cabinet Secretary
Fred Matiangi faulted the Nation Media Group, the Standard
Group Ltd and the Royal Media
Services for inciting the public
against the government over
digital migration.
Dr Matiangi said the Communications Authority of Kenya
(CA) acted within the law when it
switched o signals of the three
media houses on Saturday afternoon.
The authority, he said, had
served a notice to the media
houses asking them to switch
o their analogue transmitters
by midnight of February, 13 in
accordance with a Supreme
Court ruling.
Dr Matiang i said the affected media houses defied
CAs request, prompting it to
seek warrants from the court
to switch off their analogue
transmitters.
He said CA did not switch
o the digital transmitters of
the three media houses, neither
did it ask any of the broadcast

signal distributors (BSDs) to

remove the three media houses
from their platforms.
Dr Matiangi termed the move
by the media houses to switch
themselves o the digital transmission of approved companies
like Gotv, DSTV, Zuku, Signet
and Pang and screening information about the government
move, as illegal.
Switching themselves o the

by the Self-Provisioning Digital

Our channels are, as a result,
not available on pay TV or any

Media owners have maintained
that they were not opposed to
digital migration whose global
deadline is June 17, 2015 but,
want more time to put in place
proper infrastructure, which
include acquisition of digital
decoders, antennae and transmitters, for a smooth take-o.
The media houses are also
ghting a government move to
let other operators with commercial interests to carry and trade
using their content, without their
consent.
Meanwhile, The Kenya Union
of Journalists (KUJ) yesterday
condemned the switching o
of stations broadcasting in

analogue platform, saying the

move risks rendering many
journalists jobless.
KUJ Chairman Oscar Kwena
Obonyo said the legal battle
pitting CA against the media
houses had reached frightening levels. Mr Obonyo said
more than 200 journalists have
been aected by CAs decision
to switch o KTN, NTV, Citizen
TV and QTV stations.
As the giant umbrella body
that represents journalists, we
are concerned that the government of President Uhuru
Kenyatta has kept mum and
declined to arbitrate in the
matter, even as it boils over,
Mr Obonyo said in a statement
to the media.
Journalists also expressed
outrage at the governments
support for foreign rms at the
expense of local players in the
communications sector.

The Cord and Amani coalitions

have condemned the switching o
of analogue TV broadcasting, saying it amounts to a violation of
Kenyans right to information.
Cord leaders Raila Odinga and
Kalonzo Musyoka, and Amani
leader Musalia Mudavadi separately said the switch-o of three
main media houses by the Communications Authority of Kenya
was in bad faith and an aront to
local investors.
Jubilee must explain what its
interests are in keeping Kenyans
in the information darkness and
Kenyans must demand their right
to information, said Mr Odinga in
a statement.
Mr Musyoka said the Constitution guarantees freedom of the
media and, thus, the governments
action is regrettable.

Right and freedom

I urge the media not to be deterred by the punitive actions, but

they should ght on for their constitutional right and freedom, he
said. He spoke on Saturday during
the burial of ambassador Phillip
Maingi Mwanzia at his home in
Matinyani, Kitui County.
Mr Mudavadi said the switcho amounted to denying Kenyans
the right to information. He said
digital migration had been mismanaged.
Government bears greater
responsibility to ensure Kenyans
have access to information. It
ought to safeguard the greater
public good and not just the need
for technology. The regulator
seems to have a very narrow view
of retribution, he said in Nairobi
yesterday.

Viewership to
drop drastically
BY NATION REPORTER
The migration to digital
broadcasting will leave most
Kenyans without access to
television, says a major advertising rm.
According to the company,
so far, more than 60 per cent
of Kenyans have not migrated
to the digital platform.
The major barriers cited
are the relatively high cost
of set-top boxes and lack of
awareness or know-how on
what to do, says the rm in
its report.
According to Geopoll data,
18 per cent plan to switch over
within a year.
Using information from Tanzania, which has migrated fully
to the digital platform, the rm
said overall TV viewership is
likely to drop drastically.
Overall TV viewership (in
Tanzania) dropped from 36 per
cent to 15 per cent. This, however, increased several months
after the migration as more and
more people acquired set-top

boxes, says the rm.

Since the same will happen
in Kenya, it means advertisers
are likely to suer following the
low number of viewers getting
access to their adverts.
Media owners may also see
a drastic drop in income that
mainly comes from advertisements.
TV reach is set to drop.
The overall TV reach numbers
might not get back to the current levels for at least a year as
some people might decide to
forgo the acquisition of a digital
decoder altogether. As per the
case study in Tanzania, people
will seek entertainment, says
the analysis report.
The analogue switch-o in
Tanzania was completed in
the capital city, Dar es Salaam,
on December 31, 2012, and in
Tanga, Dodoma and Mwanza
in early 2013.
TV penetration in Kenya
stands at 44.8 per cent while
in Nairobi it is at 99 per cent.
Outside Nairobi, TV ownership
is less than 50 per cent.

Suits have stalked the digital

migration from November 2013
BY NATION REPORTER
In 2006, about 116 countries
met at a conference in Geneva,
Switzerland and agreed to leap
from the analogue platform to
digital by June 17, 2015. The
meeting developed a frequency
plan for digital broadcasting and Kenya agreed to the
terms.
In March 2007, the digital
migration task force was
launched by the Minister of
Information and Communications.
In 2008, the Digital Television Committee was formed.
It comprised members drawn
from the ministry; the then
Communications Commission
of Kenya (now Communication
Authority of Kenya); Kenya
Broadcasting Corporation;
National Communication
Secretariat; and the Media
Owners Association.
On December 9, 2009 President Mwai Kibaki launched
the Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial Technology,
setting December 31, 2012
as the deadline for the digital
switch. Consequently, Signet,
a subsidiary of the public
broadcaster, was licensed to
be a digital signal distributor.
By 2011, Pan-Africa Network
Group Ltd, which is privately
owned, was also licensed to
distribute signals.
On November 22, 2013, Nation Media Group, Royal Media

Services and Standard Group

led a case at the High Court
to compel the Communication
Authority issue them with
broadcasting signal distribution licences.
On the eve of 2013 Christmas
Day, the High Court threw out
the application by the media
houses. They appealed the decision, terming it unfair, awed
and lacking transparency.
On March 28 2014, the Court
of Appeal revoked the signal
distribution licence awarded to
Chinas Pan African Network
Group. It ordered fresh tendering and issuing of licences to
the three media houses. It also
extended the migration deadline to September 30.
On September 29 2014, the
Supreme Court reinstated the
licence of the Chinese company
but also ordered an application by local broadcasters to

distribute digital signals be

considered within 90 days.
On November 26, 2014 a
consortium of the three media
houses Africa Digital Network was issued with the
digital broadcasting licence
for 21 frequencies against the
Chinese company which had
about 120.
On Nov 28 2014, CA announced a three-phase
analogue switch-o beginning
with Nairobi and its environs
on December 31. The second
phase on February 2, 2015
would cover Mombasa, Malindi, Nyeri, Meru, Kisumu,
Webuye, Kakamega, Kisii,
Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyahururu,
Machakos, Narok and Londiani
while the third phase covering
the remaining areas was slated
for March 30.
On January 21, 2015 CA
suspended the temporary authorisation granted to Africa
Digital Network to roll out their
self-provisioning digital signal
distribution over complaints of
a misleading advert and ned

A month later, on February

On Valentines Day, analogue

War of MCAs, governors hurts counties

MCAs refused to pass crucial
Bills to enable their county
governments to generate more
revenue.
Makueni, Nairobi, Narok,
Kiambu, Kitui, Siaya, Bomet,
Kisumu and Bungoma are
among the counties most affected by the wrangles.
Already, President Uhuru
Kenyatta has named a team
to determine whether the
Makueni County Government, where Prof Kivutha
Kibwana is governor, should
be dissolved due to unending
wrangles between MCAs and

The Council of Governors

blamed senators for the wrangles in counties, accusing them
of sabotaging development
projects with the aim of making governors unpopular.
Senators are imagining
or would rather they are the
bosses of the county governments. When this is not
happening, they sabotage
sitting governors to ensure
they are not re-elected come
the next General Election,
the Bomet Governor told the
Nation in an interview. The
problem is compounded by

the reluctance by the national

government to roll out devolution in the manner envisaged
in the Constitution.
Nairobi County, for instance,

MCAs refused to pass the 2014
Finance Bill due to their differences with Governor Evans

Leaders are facing increased criticism over accountability, slow pace of
development and alleged
bias.
In Bomet, the governor
and other leaders cannot
agree on where the constituent college of a university should be built.
Several counties, including Nandi and Narok, have
been rocked by demonstrations, some of which
have resulted in deaths.

Collect Sh300 million

Passing the Bill would have

enabled the county government
to collect Sh300 million from
bars, casinos and eateries,
among other revenue sources.
As a result, the county relies
mainly on disbursements from
the National Treasury, much
of which is used on recurrent
expenditure.
Narok has also been
adversely aected by dierences between its governor on
the one hand and its senator
and some MCAs on the other.
According to an ocial of the
Narok Central Business Traders Association, Mr David ole
Sankok, the county recently
lost Sh50 million in one day
after thousands of residents
blocked the Narok-Bomet
road to demonstrate against
Governor Samuel Tunai.
The demonstration was

called by Senator Stephen ole
Ntutu and his allies MPs
Patrick Ntutu (Narok West),
Korei Lemein (Narok South),
Johanna Ngeno (Emurua
Dikirr) and Moitalel ole Kenta
(Narok North).
Mr Ntutu has alleged impropriety over the management

of the 1,510 square kilometre

Maasai Mara Game Reserve,
claiming that money from the
public resources was being
diverted to a private entity.
However, Mr Tunai has accused the Ntutu camp of
playing cheap politics driven
by clan interests.
In Kitui, the county government has closed down over 100
hospitals and health centres
built using funds from the Constituency Development Fund
(CDF). The county government, which manages health,
said the health centres were
closed because there was a
shortage of doctors and nurses
to run them. However, Senator
David Musila and the Minority
Leader in the National Assembly, Mr Francis Nyenze,
have accused Governor Julius
Malombe of closing down the
health centres to settle scores
with elected leaders.
The problem is replicated
in Siaya, where Sh108 million meant for hiring nurses
through the Economic Stimulus Programme was returned
to the national government
due to differences between
Governor Cornel Rasanga
and local MPs.
Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo,
who has been leading the onslaught against Mr Rasanga,
also accused him of bias in the
award of county contracts. But
Mr Rasanga maintained that
Mr Midiwos constant criticism
was aimed at distracting him
from delivering on his promises to voters.
In Kisumu, Governor Jack
Ranguma is locked in a turf
war with his deputy, Ms Ruth
Odinga over the slow pace of
development and management
of county aairs.
The dierences have caused
a delay in passing the countys 2014/2015 supplementary
budget and Ms Odinga has
asked the governor to resign.
In Kiambu County, the proposed county headquarters
building in Kiambu town is
yet to be completed two years
down the road, with Governor

William Kabogo accusing the

county assembly of allocating insucient funds for its
completion.
The MCAs, on the other
hand, said they had allocated
the project more than the Sh35
million required to renovate
the former Kiambu Municipal
Council oces. Mr Kabogo has
been under threat of impeachment by the MCAs.
In Bomet, construction of
the proposed Moi University
constituent college at a cost
of Sh500 million has failed to
take o owing to dierences
between Governor Isaac Ruto
and the local MPs over its
location.
Mr Ruto wants the college
to be built in Sigor, while
Senator Wilfred Lesan and
local MPs, including Dr Joyce
Laboso (Sotik), Ronald Tonui
(Bomet Central), Sammy
Koech (Konoin) and Bernard
Bett (Bomet East) want it to
be built in Bomet town. The
impasse persists.

Tangible projects

In Bungoma, Governor Kenneth Lusaka has also been at

loggerheads with the senator,
Mr Moses Wetangula, over
the use of funds allocated to
the county.
Mr Wetangula has accused
Mr Lusakas government of
failing to initiate tangible development projects.
Since the start of devolution, this county has received
a total of Sh16 billion. We are
asking the Executive, through
the governor to ensure that we
see tangible projects and not
just see in books that we have
a lot of money in our bank accounts, said the senator.
Mr Lusaka has disputed Mr
Wetangulas gures.
The public can see what the
county government is doing in
the area and I urge the senator
to embrace a proper working
relationship in order to spur
development for our people,
said the governor.
In Machakos, a local MP
claimed that dierences be-

tween Governor Alfred Mutua

and Senator Johnson Muthama
were behind the decision by a
leading private hospital to cancel its plan to open a branch in
Machakos town.
Machakos Town MP Victor
Munyaka said the hospital
would have spent Sh2 billion
on the project. But Dr Mutua
denied that any of the county
governments projects had
stalled.
Nothing has stalled in
Machakos. All my projects
are going on, he said.
Other counties where governors are locked in leadership
disputes include Embu, where
Mr Martin Wambora has been
facing ouster after he was impeached by MCAs. Last week,
a court ruled that the ouster
was legal but maintained that
the status quo should remain
until Mr Wambora appeals the
decision.
In Nandi, Governor Cleophas
Lagat has also been in the spotlight, with his critics organising
demonstrations to demand
greater accountability and
protest at alleged corruption
in the county. Local leaders
have called for talks between
the governor and his critics,
saying that demos were likely
to spark violence.
Other governors who
are facing troubles in their
backyards are Uasin Gishus
Jackson Mandago, who has
been questioned by the Senate over payments made by the
county government and Trans
Nzoias Patrick Khaemba, who
has warned his critics to wait
until 2022, when he will have
served two terms, to take over
the leadership of the county.

ational
Assembly
Speaker Justin Muturi
has urged politicians
to stop accusations over the
death of Kabete MP George
Muchai.
Speaking during a prize giving ceremony at AIC Malivani
Primary School in Makueni,
Mr Muturi cautioned leaders against rushing to point
ngers at others.
Leaders are warned over
what they say in public as
these people have families and
relatives. Consider the damage you are inicting through
certain utterances you make,
said Mr Muturi.
The Speakers sentiments

These people have families and relatives. Consider

the damage you are inicting through certain utterances you make
Justin Muturi, Speaker,
National Assembly
came in the wake of controversial statements by Labour
Cabinet Secretary Kazungu
Kambi, Thika Town MP
Alice Nganga and Gatundu
South MP Moses Kuria on
the killing.
Mr Muturi added that
leaders should not be carried
away by emotions, especially

on the sensitive matter of

insecurity.
Separately, Luhya leaders
have called for a stop to speculation on Mr Muchais death,
saying it could compromise
police investigations.
The leaders said ignoring
facts surrounding the crime
would not solve the issues of
insecurity and only polarise
the communities.
Amani Coalition leader Musalia Mudavadi cautioned Mr
Kambi and the MPs against
pushing investigators to follow their line of thought over
the killing.
Its irresponsible for a
Cabinet secretary to claim
he knows killers. He should
be charged as an accessory to
murder, he said in Nairobi.
Kakamega Senator Boni
Khalwale told the Labour CS
to stop using Mr Muchais
death to settle personal
scores.
Central Organisation of
Trade Unions (Cotu) acting
Secretary-General Moses

County to sue

Sugar plunder
BY NATION REPORTER
The Kakamega County Government is planning to sue those
adversely mentioned by an audit

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale said individuals mentioned in

sugarcane production, and they

factory shuts down.
The factory is in our county.
We are ready to fund the litigation
process should the government
drag its feet, given that its closure

Protecting culprits

He criticised the manner in

which the national government
was handling the Mumias Sugar
crisis, saying some ocials were
trying to protect those who mismanaged the company.
He noted that although the
Director of Public Prosecutions
and the anti-corruption commission had promised to act on the
matter, the residents were worried
that delay in prosecution those involved in the plunder would cause
further losses.

TRANSPARENCY | County ocials admit doing shoddy job and request more time

MCAs reject assets valuation report

Nairobi County public
accounts team orders
repeat of exercise after
it emerged some of the
assets were undervalued
BY MUCHEMI WACHIRA

AND OTIATO GUGUYU

he Nairobi County Government

will repeat valuation of its xed
assets after a previous report
was rejected.
The county assemblys Public Accounts Committee (PAC) ordered
a repeat of the valuation after it
emerged that some properties may
have been undervalued.
Even county government ocials,
during a PAC meeting to discuss the
county Financial Statement by the
Auditor-General last week, admitted
there were inconsistencies in the
valuation report.

Senate trains
guns on land
sector cartels

Valuation is a requirement for

counties to establish what they own
in terms of assets and their worth,
even as they take over property
initially owned by the defunct local
authorities in the transition to county
governments.
PAC members noted that some assets were grossly undervalued during
the valuation in December last year.
For instance, the committee chaired
by Mr Robert Mbatia, is not convinced
the value of the 13-storey City Hall
Annex building is Sh900 million as
presented in the report.
One of the new public toilets was
valued at Sh400,000 while the City
Stadium at Sh10 billion, which the
committee feels may not be their
actual values.
The MCAs questioned the value of
the toilet block and City Hall Annex.
This was after the ocials told them
an acre of land in the city centre costs
Sh650 million.
In the report, the value of the lands
on which the building and toilet sit
is not indicated and which, according
to County Secretary Lillian Ndegwa

million. Gikomba Market, on three

acres of land was valued at Sh500
million.
Ms Ndegwa admitted there were
inconsistencies.
We admit discrepancies in the
whole process and we ask for more
time to repeat the exercise, she told
the meeting.

Lost in transition

900m

The estimated value of 13-storey Nairobis City Hall Annex

building as presented in the
county valuation report
(above), was not surveyed.
She could not also explain why the
Country Bus Station, which measures
about 1.8 acres was valued at Sh400

The Transition Authority had

last year warned that assets and
money that counties were taking
over might have been lost during
the transition.
Some land, cars and property
owned by the local authorities were
not transferred to county governments by ocials who oversaw the
transition.
Ocials working for the defunct
local authorities are believed to have
stolen cars and laptops and sold
houses and land.
The national government had
warned ocials against disposing of
public assets in their custody during
the transition.

Water reservoir

Deputy Speaker Kembi Gitura

who sought a government statement over the escalating land grab
cases cited a private developer in
Loresho, Nairobi whom he noted
had ignored a court order and was
developing the piece of land, reserved for a water reservoir.
It is a public utility land that
was reserved for a water reservoir
in 1970. Explain why the change
to a private ownership, Mr Gitura
demanded yesterday.
The National Assembly Lands
Committee chairman Alex Mwiru
recently warned that the government risked attracting numerous
court cases due to mishandling of
land-related complaints.
Mr Mwiru observed that public
utilities were the most-targeted as
land grabbers capitalised on government officers reluctance to
pursue the intruders and ensure
they were brought to book.

The Kisumu county government has been urged to help
children who leave Mama Ngina
Childrens Home after attaining

ages, said Mr Jaoko while accepting donations worth Sh65,000
from Seal Children Reading Club
in Kisumu yesterday.

West Pokot assembly members have faulted Parliament for
pushing to control the equalization fund meant for marginalized

money has accumulated since
2010 to Sh18 billion. Speaking in
Kapenguria yesterday, the leaders
opposed the amendment placing
the fund under MPs saying counties should control the money.
Majority Leader Simon Kalekem
said they would sue the government for not releasing the funds.

Ethnic composition in
jobs to be released

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Senate wants the government to crack down on cartels
involved in land grabbing and loss
of documents in land registries.
This comes in the wake of concerns that despite Lands Cabinet
Secretary Charity Ngilu promising
far reaching reforms in the sector,
many Kenyans were still grappling
with cases of missing les and bottlenecks in land transactions.
The setback has slowed down
land acquisition and processing of
title deeds, making it dicult for
those who wish to use their land
to secure loans for development
purposes.
Some of the developers, the
senators observed, were acting
in disregard of court orders stopping them from illegally acquiring
public or private properties.

Poll petition legal fees to be reviewed

BY NATION REPORTER
The Judiciary will review fees
lawyers charge for election petitions
to ensure they are not too high or
too low.
The Judiciary lamented that lawyers
were obstructing justice by charging
prohibitive fees during petitions.
A statement on the Judiciary website said a team had been assembled
to carry out the review as part of
preparations for the 2017 polls.
The Judiciary Working Committee
on Election Preparations will ensure
fees lawyers charge are not too high
to lock out potential petitioners or too
low, to encourage frivolous suits.
The review is one of the steps the
Judiciary is taking to reform regulations guiding general elections. This
follows a review of the 2013 election
petitions, which revealed several challenges, including the high fees.
However, the proposal has already

attracted opposition from some lawyers who argue election petitions are
rigorous and consume time and other
resources, hence there should be no
ceiling on fees.
Law Society of Kenya CEO Apollo
Mboya (above) said the Judiciary
should focus more on how to speed
up the conclusion of election petitions
and structures that would look at the
entire electoral process.
The fees were not determined by

lawyers but by courts after a case,

he added.
The court decides how much one
has to pay in determining an election petition. The money a petitioner
pays as deposit is, in fact, kept by
the court as security because some
people tend to escape or claim they
have no money after losing a case,
said Mr Mboya.
A person seeking to petition
election of an MP is required to
deposit Sh500,000 with the court
as security.
What lawyers charge besides the
deposit is purely based on agreement
between the client and the advocates,
said Mr Mboya.
Deputy Chief Justice Kalpana Rawal,
who spoke during a meeting by the
review committee recently, lamented
that some of the petitions were not
concluded within the set timelines
because they were many.

The National Cohesion and

Integration Commission will
this year release reports on the
ethnic composition of management jobs in public institutions.
The commission, headed by Mr
Francis ole Kaparo (above) said
the the reports would focus on
county governments and public
universities. The report on counties will be out in May while that
of universities in December. Dr
Roba Sharamo, an NCIC member
said the reports would enable
Kenyans see the real picture of
ethnic composition with regard to
positions and promotions. During
a media forum in Eldoret on Friday, Dr Sharamo called on county
governments not to discriminate
anyone on the basis of ethnicity.

Let counties sign up

for health equipment

f it is true that 25 counties have signed up for

the Sh38 billion project to equip public hospitals
with dialysis and x-ray machines, then there is
a glimmer of hope that specialised treatment for
many diseases is a step closer to reality.
For far too long, the public has been burdened
by poor quality services oered in government
hospitals and in many instances, the only place
they could hope to get aordable treatment was
the Kenyatta National Hospital. The result was that
KNH was strained and this, by extension, ended
up compromising the quality of health care and
increasing the time patients waited to be served.
It would be ideal, in the interest of transparency,
for Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia to
name those counties that have signed up and those
that have not. This will help the public in monitoring the progress made in equipping the hospitals
and to put pressure on those that are yet to sign
up so that they can either do so or unveil their own
strategies on how they intend to improve services
in public hospitals.
Besides procuring the equipment, there is need to
also ensure that there are enough professionals to
man them and provide the services that are lacking in many public hospitals. This should also go
hand-in-glove with a change in the public hospital
culture to reduce corruption, eliminate favouritism
and improve the quality of services for all.
The quality of services oered in public hospitals
in Kenya today is, to say the least, highly unsatisfactory and it is important for both the national and
county governments to adopt a holistic approach
to ensure that this does not go on unchecked. This
will include improving the terms of service for
doctors and nurses so that they have an incentive
to remain in the public health sector where their
services are acutely needed.

Improve soccer results

he performances of Gor Mahia and Sofapaka

in the rst leg of their preliminary outing in
their continental championships have left a
lot to be desired. Gor Mahia could have snatched a
slim 1-0 win over CNaps from Madagascar in their
Champions League match in Nairobi, but their display was average, making the return leg in Antananarivo quite nervy.
Sofapaka put themselves in a tough situation in
the return leg after they lost 1-2 to FC Platinum,
from Zimbabwe in Nairobi.
It comes at a time when Kenya Premier League
and the countrys soccer governors Football Kenya
Federation have started running dierent leagues.
The FKF league started last weekend, while the
KPL is due to start next weekend.
It goes without saying that the preparations of
the two clubs have not been satisfactory. The teams
have not had meaningful build-up matches ahead of
the continental duels.
Teams representing the country in continental
events are always caught unprepared, having not
jelled at all.
We can only rally behind the two teams and hope
that they up their stakes in the next matches and do
the country proud by qualifying to the next round.

CHILD ABUSE | Rasna Warah

Kenya must do much more to protect

children at the Coast from sex pests
R

ecently, the United

Kingdom took the
decent step of protecting our children from
sexual abuse by forcing all
its citizens working with
children in Kenya to be
cleared by the police.
Due to the alarming increase in the number of
UK citizens convicted for
abusing children in foreign
countries, including the
recent case of a charity
worker who sexually abused
street children in the town
of Gilgil, the UK has introduced an International
Child Protection Certicate
that vets UK citizens working in orphanages, schools
and charitable organisations
in 73 countries around the
world.
The question that arises
is: What is the Kenyan government doing to protect
children from foreign sexual
predators? Apparently, not
very much.
Paedophiles and other undesirable elements can enter
our borders with impunity.
All they need is a tourist
visa, which is easily obtainable. They can also evade
arrest by bribing the police,
which is alarmingly common in Kenya.
I have raised these issues
in this column before. I am
doing it again because I live
in a place where old men
having sex with minors or
very young women is not

only culturally accepted,

but has become some sort
of an epidemic among foreign tourists. There is no
day that passes when I do
not see young girls and an
alarming number of boys
escorting elderly men or
women around Malindi.
These girls and boys are
not the adopted children of
these aging tourists; they
are their sex toys. Some of
the girls and boys appear to
be in their early teens.
Why does the county government not put up signs
saying Sex with Children is
a Criminal Oence and Will
be Punished all over Malindi town?
Reports by Unicef and
others have highlighted the
widespread sexual exploitation of children in Malindi
and other coastal towns,
which has increased awareness among hoteliers, and
made it more dicult for
guests to bring child prostitutes into their hotel rooms.
But the paedophiles have

Kili County should

consider signs saying
It is Illegal to Have
Sex with Minors in
English, Italian and
Kiswahili...

found new ways to engage

in their depravity. Children
in coastal towns like Malindi
are being lured to beaches,
and sometimes boats are
hired for what is referred
to as deep sea sex with
children.
When I raise these issues with the residents of
Malindi, they shrug their
shoulders and tell me that
there is nothing that they
can do because the parents
of these children encourage
them to sell their bodies to
tourists and that in a place
as desperately poor as Kili
County, child prostitution
is often the only lifeline a
family has. Some argue that
among the local Giriama,
child marriage is very common, so sex with minors is
considered quite acceptable.
These arguments have
always disturbed me, not
only because they are ethically and morally awed, but
because they are presented
as a solution to the very real
problems of high poverty
and unemployment levels in
the coast region.
Child prostitution is not
an acceptable or sustainable
form of employment. It is
based on the exploitation
of poor and vulnerable children. Children who drop out
of school to engage in this
activity are psychologically
and physically damaged for
life.
Having been denied an

education, chances are that

these children will continue
engaging in prostitution
as young adults, or die
from sexually transmitted
diseases before reaching
adulthood. How did paedophilia, which is stigmatised
the world over, become so
normal here? Why are the
perpetrators not arrested or
hounded out of the country? If Malindi were Milan,
would they behave dierently?
What kind of society have
we created where child
prostitution is considered
an acceptable livelihood option? Child prostitution is
a form of child exploitation
and abuse and should be
seen as such.
It is encouraging to know
that coastal county governors are uniting to improve
the economic prospects
of the coastal region and
are looking to expand the
economy beyond tourism.
This will give people more
employment opportunities,
improve their living standards and, hopefully, lead to a
reduction in child prostitution.
In the mean time, Kili
County should consider
putting up signs saying It
is Illegal to Have Sex with
Minors in English, Italian
and Kiswahili all over Malindi town and its environs.

THE CUTTING EDGE

CHAPTER SIX | Edris Omondi

Integrity crisis: We need more Kenyans

whose moral values are not for sale
A

Man for All Seasons is

a well crafted play by
Robert Bolt, a story of
Sir Thomas More who was not
only of accomplished nobility, but also a man of absolute
integrity. The play opens with
these words: Every man
has his price! In money too...
Or pleasure. Titles, women,
bricks-and-mortar, theres always something.
As the play unfolds, King
Henry VIII wishes to break
up with Queen Catherine and
marry Anne Boleyn. But the
catch is this: the Catholic
Church forbade divorce. And
so King Henry VIII demands
of his subjects the taking of an
oath that will support him in
his divorce. But there is a further problem.
Sir Thomas More, who is
loved and admired by the
common people, will not sign
the oath. He is unwilling to
submit, even at the kings
personal request. His friends
apply their personal charm
and pressure, but he will not
yield. He is stripped of his
wealth, his position, and his
family, but he will not sign.
Finally, he is falsely tried
for his life, but still he will not
succumb. They have taken
from him his money, his political power, his friends, and his
family and will yet take his
life but they cannot take
from him his integrity. It is not
for sale at any price.

Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission oce in Nairobi.

Integrity is choosing our
thoughts and actions based
on values rather than personal
gains. A critical aspect of integrity, then, is the idea of a
moral wholeness, or oneness,
demonstrated by a consistency
of thought, word and deed.
Integrity is best described
through four components:
personal convictions (what we
believe), stated values (what
we say we believe), operational
values (what we actually do),
and ethical principles (what
we should do).
Disintegrity (an invented
antonym for integrity) on the
other hand is blamed on the
character of individuals who
run the various public and
private institutions we patron.
The reason well-intentioned
people and, for that matter in
our organisations or county

governments, consistently fail

to demonstrate integrity is
because of the dexterity of its
leaders. First is moral weakness the inability to muster
the strength and resoluteness
to overcome the temptation to
depart from ethical principle
(what we should do).
The second cause of
disintegrity is hypocrisy
professing beliefs, feelings, or
virtues that we do not hold or
possess. This unethical practice is sometimes just a cynical
and intentional manipulation.
In other cases, it is simply telling people what they want to
hear in a desire for approval or
fear of confrontation.
With this deep understanding of both integrity and
disintegrity, we can now scale
the performance of our leaders
on the pedestal of Chapter Six
of the Kenyan Constitution, on
Leadership and Integrity and
on a balance of probability as a
moral threshold.
Article 73 (2) of our Constitution lays down the guiding
principles of leadership and
integrity, key among its provisions is that our leaders must
be selected on the basis of
personal integrity. Now, the
challenge with our institutions
is that they manifest individual
competency but lack the appetite for personal integrity.
The absence of personal
integrity is what ails our country. It aects the outcome of

service delivery. As a nation,

we can remedy and legislate
corruption, sack and punish
(selectively) its perpetrators
and put paper to ink on the
way out. But we are still dealing with the symptom and not
the disease.
The absence of personal
integrity therefore, leads to
subjectivity and partiality,
hence decision inuenced by
nepotism, favouritism and corrupt practices.
Pursuit for personal integrity is a virtue. And the
moral authority to protect
our constitutional values is
not a religious function. Article 79 of our Constitution
establishes the Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Commission.
Unfortunately, the legislation
deals mostly on the mundane
appointments and lacks in judicial powers. The law must be
amended to give the commission powers to prosecute.
Secondly, our education
system should not only be an
academic grilling prison. Ethics and morality should be at
the core and the cornerstone
of our livelihood.
A higher level of moral outrage must also be maintained
on all who disrespect us with
irresponsible conduct.

JUDICIARY | Anne A Amadi

Transfers of magistrates quite normal

R

ecent administrative matters in the

Judiciary touching on magistrates,
appear to have spawned a few misunderstandings that beg explanation from
the institution, in the spirit of transparency and accountability, which are core
ethos of our transformation drive.
It has been alleged that the recent
transfer of over 30 magistrates to various
stations was less than prudent. The thrust
of the argument is that the transfers were
abrupt, will complicate part-heard cases
and adversely aect the personal lives and
morale of the aected magistrates.
It is instructive that such claims
have been prefaced with a welcome acknowledgement that the law sanctions
the transfer of judicial ocers to serve
Kenyans in any part of the country. Our
addition to this position is that the Judiciary has a transfer policy that was
promised by the Chief Justice in his 120
Days speech in 2011. The policy augments
the law in this regard and was developed
with the foregoing concerns in mind.
The magistrates transferred were given
three months notice, as provided for by
policy, to enable them to conclude partheard matters and to prepare themselves
in other ways before shifting to their new
stations. They were also advised against
opening new matters that may outlast the
notice period. The objective was to ensure

Judicial ocers are aware that

transfers are not unilateral and, in
most cases, will not be initiated
until an ocer has served in a
station for at least three years

that litigants are not inconvenienced.

Judicial ocers are well aware that
transfers are not unilateral and, in normal circumstances, will not be initiated
until an ocer has served in a station
for at least three years. Ocers serving
in designated hardship areas cannot be
transferred to another hardship area, for
at least six years. These regulations are
not cast in stone, which is why an appeal
mechanism exists for ocers who may
have compelling reasons to have their
transfers reviewed.
The Judiciarys transfer policy was informed by a transparent and consultative
process that drew heavily from recommendations by our judicial ocers. No
contestation exists on the policy.
Transfers have been a normal practice.
As a matter of fact, over 100 magistrates
were transferred in 2012. In 2014, the

Chief Justice transferred a large number

of High Court judges to various stations
across the country. Many other magistrates and judges have been transferred
in-between. Good administrative practice
does not encourage the retention of an ofcer in one station for too long.
These transfers are undertaken with
consideration of leadership and composition aspects of stations and to improve
service delivery and management.
Media reports have also alleged a goslow among magistrates following our
initiative to re-conrm the bona des
of some judicial ocers who joined the
Judiciary in 2011. The exercise is normal
administrative diligence and no complaint
related to service delivery in magistrates
courts has been received from litigants
or the Law Society of Kenya. Similarly,
no dissenting representation has been
received on the issue, and individual
magistrates continue to respond to the
request.
Another issue raised relates to the decision to invite external applications for
vacancies in the magistracy. This matter
is now the subject of litigation and we
shall let the court determine the way forward.

To the editor
Pay school fees for poor
students joining Form 1
It has been four years since
the government ordered national
schools to reserve up to 70 per
cent of their slots to public primary
school graduates.
The armative action was meant
to create more chances for the poor
and to curb the previous meritocracy
that turned these elite schools into a
preserve of the rich.
The government was right, but
it failed to factor in one thing: the
nancial status of some students.
Some students in public primary
schools come from poor backgrounds, and this is not their fault.
Reserving places for them and not
meeting their nancial needs is useless as they will not report to school.
SIMON MUGO, Maseno

World Bank report was

wrong on Busia County
I was saddened by the World Bank
report that insinuated that Busias
expenditure on development projects
is less than 20 per cent.
This cant be true. We are beneciaries of water projects, tractors,
road graders, bursaries, ambulances,
street lights etc in fact, the county
government has ooded us with
development initiatives. We must be
way ahead of Machakos, if not at par.
What we actually see on the
ground cant only account for 18 per
cent. There must be an error in the
World Bank report. Perhaps there
is some truth in what is being said,
that what was published were mere
partial returns.

MPs not working as

hard as they used to
MPs should be made to account
for the CDF money they dispense.
Why do we see many destitute children asking for help to pay school
fees while there is CDF money in
their constituency? MPs can evade
their constituents and nothing happens. They earn money they dont
sweat for. What are nominated members doing, except adding to the
bloated wage bill?
Even their conduct is wanting. We
used to see members bringing Motions supported by members across
the political divide. That is no more.
Voting is now along party lines. The
late Martin Shikuku, for example is
what the current MPs should emulate. Nowadays, they spend too much
time in the restaurant or bar.

SHORT TAKES

TALKING POINT

Stop governors from using public

funds to build their own mansions

n advertisement in the media

for the construction of the
Meru governors mansion
has elicited bitter reaction from
concerned Kenyans. As a resident
of Chuka, I must say it clearly that
what our neighbouring county
government is embarking on is
pure waste of public funds, and
the governor must be stopped in
his tracks before he carries on with
this madness.
Why, one would ask, in a county
with so many deciencies in health
facilities, roads, schools and water,
is a governors mansion worth
Sh60 million be a priority? Who, for
heavens sake, approved this monumental waste of public funds? And
where is the voice of the people to
oppose this blatant violation? Who
is supposed to oversee these selsh
demigods called governors to tame
their thirst for public resources and
personal aggrandisement?
Now, if the Meru governors mansion is allowed to go on, then the
other 46 county governors will follow suit and demand the same, and
if they build a similar palace, then
we are talking of over Sh2.8 billion
on the governors housing alone!
Someone must save Kenya.
Where on earth do public servants
consume so much on personal
interests, when the people are suffering?
I have come to conclude that the
ght for devolution was not about
the common mans interest. It was
a scheme to enrich the rich, and
impoverish further the poorest. In
fact, there is too much corruption,
nepotism, tribalism and favourit-

ism in the counties, going by the
many reports in the media.
Time has come to say no to
waste of public funds, and the oversight bodies must come strongly to
oppose this madness.
BASILIO CHABARI, Chuka

Wealth creation

A report announcing that Meru

County will spend Sh60 million on
construction of the governors residence is sheer misapplication of resources. I want to believe that as a
country, we do not have the luxury
of spending limited resources on

projects that have little return or

impact on wealth creation.
How can we tame these ill-conceived projects and at the same
time bring sanity in the manner in
which funds are put to use in the
devolved units? No one seems to
show concern or tame spending by
the counties.
Can our National Treasury
defend this type of profligate
expenditure in the light of more
pressing issues such as providing
clean water, improving sanitation
and equipping health centres with
medicines and machines?
DAVID MAINA, Nairobi

Heres why public service delivery standards are falling

Disharmony and in-ghting in the public service
has resulted in poor service. At the Lands ministry,
there is a lot of inghting between the Cabinet Secretary and the chairman of the National Land Commission. Not even the intervention of the President has
made the two work together.
Kenyas football is in jeopardy thanks to in-ghting between two groups that each claim to control
the premier league. Each side has come up with its
own list of teams and dates. Those in charge of sports
have kept quiet as the feud threatens to go international, with Fifa threatening sanctions.
Allegations of corruption and mismanagement
touching on senior public ocers are on the rise.

They range from nancial impropriety to land grabbing and tribalism. Those responsible appear to be
dragging their feet on investigations. This hinders
service delivery as the ocers spend more time ghting o the allegations than serving the people.
The use of foul language in public is on the rise,
despite CIC issuing warnings that public ocers have
to maintain decorum. These behaviours appear to be
exacerbated by the fact that culprits go unpunished.
Complaints about lack of public participation when
coming up with policies have also been common issues like ranking of schools, cashless fare system,
switch-o from analogue to digital TV signals, etc.

ALNASHIR D WALJI: If the allegations of bribing are true in the UK,

then they should be true in Kenya as
well! Those involved (IEBC ocials)
should be charged.
M K LINCOLN: Whether they are
ocials or not, the law has to be

followed to the letter. In fact, they

should lead by example. Justice
should be done.
SAMMY ANGANA: They should
have been the rst lot to face the
long arm of the law. No one is above
the law. If the perpetrators are

already sentenced in the UK, they

should not be let o the hook here in
Kenya as well.
IBRAHIM A ISSACK: Their accomplices are serving a jail term. Why
they should be left free in Kenya

ADMISSIONS CRISIS | Education CS Jacob Kaimenyi accused of inaction

Parents headache as Form One

fees, charges go through the roof
But principals defend
fees, saying increments
are done with blessings
of parents through PTAs
and school boards
BY NATION TEAM

newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com

he last two weeks have been

tough for parents whose children are joining Form One
in secondary schools across the
country.
Parents interviewed by the Nation
spoke with anger and pain of how
some of them have been forced to
pay as much as Sh100,000 in shopping and rst term fees to have their
children admitted.
I nd it unfair to compel a parent to buy a hockey stick regardless
of whether the child will be playing
hockey. Imagine more than two hundred students reporting to school
with hockey sticks, lamented a parent whose child joined Form One at
St Josephs Kitale. Those who came
without hockey sticks were ordered
to go and buy them, he said.
Another parent whose daughter
joined Form One at Mukumu Girls
in Kakamega said it was unfair to force
parents reporting with children from
all over the country to shop for school
items at a single shop.

Personal items

The parents also want school fees

spread equally across the three terms,
to make the instalments aordable.
Buru Buru Girls is charging newcomers Sh91,000, while State House
girls is charging Sh88,700 per year.
The guardian of a Form One student
joining Agoro Sare High School in
Homa Bay County said he was forced
to go back home with the child for
failure to raise money for the boys
personal items.
Agoro Sare, an extra county school,
charges Sh56,000 school fees for
students joining Form One. Besides
that, parents must pay Sh17,000
for personal items such as utensils,
mattress, blankets, text books, among
others.

ties, he told Nation from his Migosi

Estate home in Kisumu town.
But Agoro Sare Principal Maurice
Ogutu said the charges for school
items were approved by the Parents
Teachers Association and the school
board.
A parent whose daughter joined
Form One at Moi Forces Lanet in
Nakuru County said he parted with
Sh10,500 for uniform alone.
I would have spent less than
Sh6,000 if I had bought the same
items outside, said Mr Kosgei.
A four-inch high-density mattress
costs Sh2,000 minimum, but schools
charge up to Sh5,000.
A woman whose son was called to
Kenyatta High School in Mwatate
said she was barred at the gate with
her son on Monday, after presenting
a bank slip of only Sh25,000 of the
total Sh77, 000 fees required.
I was forced to return home with
my son after the principal said they
can only accept Sh57, 000 to admit
the child, she narrated at the Kenya
National Union of Teachers (Knut)

oces in Mombasa, where she went

hoping to be linked up with a sponsor.
But even as parents lamented of the
high charges, principals also complained of high costs of maintaining
the children in school.
They denied increasing fees unilaterally, saying it was always done in
consultation with parents and county
education boards.
No headteacher is mad enough
to raise school fees without consulting parents. We usually call them for
meetings and give reasons for raising
the fees.
Afterwards we also inform the
county education board, which writes
a letter back to us either accepting or
rejecting, before we begin implementing, said Mr Enos Jilo, the principal of
Moi Forces Academy, Mombasa.
The extra fees they charge is to
enable the school board to employ
more teachers to address shortage
occasioned by increased enrolment.
According to the principals, basic
utilities such as uniform, utensils,
basins, mattress, and blankets must

among the students.
Education Cabinet Secretary
Jacob Kaimenyi now wants boards
of management not to restrict parents to specic suppliers of school
uniforms and other items. He says
parents should have a free hand to
purchase them from dierent school
outtters.
Kenya National Association of
Parents Secretary-General Musau
Ndunda said the government should
follow its warning to school heads and
boards with stern action.
We cannot be warning them year
in year out. Why should a school ask
for a ream of photocopying papers
from more than 300 students yet they
get cash from government to buy stationery? asked Mr Ndunda.
Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Chairman Omboko Milemba
says the government bears the blame
for the high fees due to its failure to
implement a task force report which
spelt out measures on reduction of
fees charged by secondary schools.

Activists ght ban on Fifty Shades of Grey lm

BY NATION REPORTER
Freedom of speech activists have
criticised the lm regulators decision
to ban several movies, among them
Fifty Shades of Grey, saying that it
infringes on artistic expression.
Article 19, an organisation that
defends free expression and freedom
of information, has faulted the Kenya
Film Classication Boards decision to
restrict exhibition and distribution of
the movie across the country.
This is the fth lm to be banned
in Kenya in the recent past. This is
deeply worrying, considering it comes
just after the recently enacted security laws, which also introduced broad

and vague grounds for the banning

of photographs and broadcasts, the
group said in a statement.
Bishop Jackson Kosgei (right),
the chairperson of the board said
Fifty Shades of Grey was restricted
because of prolonged and explicit
sexual scenes depicting women as
sexual slaves.
The continued banning of certain
lms in Kenya without giving detailed
reasons for such censorship is a big
blow to artistic expression and a clear
violation of artistic freedom guaranteed by the Constitution of Kenya,
said Mr Henry Maina, Article 19s
Eastern Africa regional director.
The movie as restricted on Thurs-

day, with the board saying it was

too graphic to be screened even to
adults.
But Article 19 wants this decision
rescinded and the movie made available for adult viewing.
While under international stand-

ards, states can limit freedom of

expression in the interest of public
order and public morals, a number
of important factors must be examined.
These include whether the expression was in fact harmful, whether the
concept of public morals was not applied in a discriminatory fashion and
whether the sanction is proportionate
to aim pursued, Article 19 says.
In Australia the movie was rated
as suitable for persons aged over 15,
while in France it was found suitable
for viewing by those above the age
of 12.
The movie was slated for local
release on February 14.

Civil servants
to block new
NHIF rates
BY NATION REPORTER
Civil servants are threatening
to move to court to block the
implementation of new rates by
National Hospital Insurance Fund
gazetted last week.
Trade Union Congress of Kenya
(TUC-K) Chairman Tom Odege
said the workers would seek to
block NHIF from implementing
the new deductions, warning
that it undermines ongoing talks
on the matter.
The rates, set to take eect from
April 1, 2015, are expected to boost
revenue for NHIF, enabling it to
improve services and provide a
universal medical cover for all
Kenyans.
We are shocked the NHIF Chief
Executive Ocer Simon Kirgotty
went ahead to gazette these
new regulations. The CEO had
promised to allow more time for
dialogue on these. It is dishonest
that the fund has deed all that,
said Mr Odede.

Raised concerns

Under the new regulations gazetted by the funds CEO last week,
workers earning up to Sh5,999 will
contribute Sh150 a month while
those earning Sh100,000 and
above will pay Sh1,700 monthly,
up from Sh320.
Those earning between Sh
12,000 and Sh14,999 will pay
Sh500 while those earning between Sh15,000 and Sh19,999
will contribute Sh600 while those
who earn between Sh 20,000 and
Sh24,999 will now have to part
with Sh750.
The Federation of Kenya Employers has also raised concern
over the new rates.

Alarm after developers

he county is looking for

alternative cemetery land
after some developers
grabbed part of the plot meant
for burials.
What today passes as the
Nyambera Cemetery was formerly land set aside by the
defunct municipal council for
recreation under the towns
1971 development plan.
Owing to the sites proximity
to the mortuary at Kisii Level Six
Hospital, it was decided that it
be used as burial ground.
The cemetery is, however,
under threat from private developers, who have demarcated
huge chunks of land for themselves.
The countys Chief Ocer for
Lands, Mr Zablon Ongori, said
the grabbers will be evicted and
the land reclaimed. He said the

land will, however, be used for

a dierent purpose.
He said even as they move
to repossess the land, residents
have not accepted to bury their
relatives away from their homes
as this is considered a taboo.
We are encouraging the
people to start burying their
loved ones in cemeteries as we
no longer want to have graves in
every homestead, he said.
The county government has
set aside more than Sh20 million to purchase burial land, he
added. We are looking for a
piece of land within the town,
where we can establish a cemetery. We have a challenge since
Kisii has no land, he said.

Unclaimed bodies

He said three other subcounties had been identied as

requiring public cemeteries.
However, in the neighbouring
Nyamira County, the situation
is dierent.
They are yet to identify a site
for a public cemetery despite
many assurances to the residents
by the current authority and the
defunct council to do so.
Unclaimed bodies from various mortuaries are being taken
to Kisii County for burial, though
the space set aside for this is
becoming scarce.

REACTION

Residents oppose
use of cemeteries
The Bomet County Executive
Committee member for Lands
and Urban Planning, Ms Patricia
Lasoi, said the demand for
cemeteries by residents is low
because most of them do not
believe in burying their loved
ones away from their homes.
However, she said, the residents might in future change
their attitudes and make use of
cemeteries as their plots continue to diminish.
We have not designated
any site for a public cemetery
because we have no public plot
near the county headquarters
that is suitable for the purpose.
In view of this, we did not allocate any funds in the current
budget for burial land, said Mr
John Omanwa, who is in charge
of Nyamira Countys Finance
docket.
He said the county government wanted to buy a plot that
could be used as a cemetery but
this has not been possible because landowners are not willing
to have it near their homes.
This is a cultural issue but I

am sure the county government

will eventually nd a plot for a
cemetery, he added.
The Migori county government
is also planning to purchase land
for a cemetery.
County Lands Chief Ocer
Joshua Ngwala said they were
mapping areas that are suitable
for the facility in all the eight
sub-counties in the region.
The defunct municipal council had set aside land near the
Lichota airstrip as a cemetery
but the place is inappropriate
because it is going to become
the new county headquarters.
The Agricultural Society of
Kenya and the Kenya Forestry
Research Institute have also
been allocated part of the land
that was previously used as a
cemetery, he said.
We are going to conclude the
process soon, said the ocial.
In Bomet, the county government has set aside two acres to
put up a cemetery. The County
Executive Committee member
for Lands and Urban Planning,
Ms Patricia Lasoi, said the land
will be divided into three to cater
for the interests of Muslims, Hindus and Christians.

accused governors of denying them

medical insurance covers yet other

Kisumu County where health workers
queued to receive their pay cheque
last month.Telling health workers
to line up for salary cheques is backward and retrogressive. If counties
continue to do this, we will tell our

Dr Oluga said. He noted that the
Sh40,000 paid by counties is not
enough to sustain medics.
When our services are needed,
we are referred to as civil servants.

counties services, we become employees of the national government, the

Health executive Kabii Mungai

Leaders want report

on Gachaguas health
BY JAMES NGUNJIRI
Anxiety over Governor
Nderitu Gachaguas health has
spilled to the County Assembly,
with MCAs demanding communication from his deputy.
In an interview with the
Nation yesterday, Gatitu/
Muruguru Ward Representative Mwangi Kibuu said there
was a lot of speculation about
Mr Gachaguas health.
He added that the countys
executive should put an end
to the rumours by issuing an
ocial communication.
He at the same time said the
assembly would send a team to
Britain to check on the governors status if information was
not forthcoming.
If there will be no ocial report on Tuesday, the assembly
is willing to send some members abroad to nd out where
the governor is and the status
of his health, he said.
Mr Gachagua has been
missing from the county for
two months.
Failure by Speaker Mwangi
Mugo to table a report on Mr

Gachaguas health last Thursday sparked a heated debate

in the assembly.
Governor Gachagua is a
public gure and Nyeri County
residents deserve to be told
where he is, Mr Kibuu said.
During the opening session
of the assembly on Tuesday,
Mr Mugo said he would liaise
with Deputy Governor Samuel
Wamathai to write a report on
the governors health.

Jamhuri Day

He promised to table the

report on Thursday but postponed it to tomorrow.
Mr Gachagua was last seen
in public during last years
Jamhuri Day celebrations at
Dedan Kimathi Grounds in
Nyeri Town.
Last month, Mr Gachaguas
wife Margaret said he would
be back to discharge his duties soon.
Only last week, Mr Wamathai
said he was in constant contact
with Mr Gachagua.
He said the governor was
expected in the county before
the end of the week.

Town is not less than Sh6.2

million, he said.
Mr Simuyu said a plot
measuring 50 feet by 100 feet
in the same locality is going
for between Sh750,000 and
Sh800,000.
He said tenders for the
purchase of the land were

advertised and the winner

had quoted the lowest price
among the bidders.

Negotiate with seller

Mr Simiyu said the tender

committee went further to negotiate with the seller, who had
quoted Sh5.3 million per acre,

resulting in the price going

down to Sh5.1 million.
He said the decision to
choose the land was also
arrived at since it would accommodate all the county
oces rather than have them
scattered.
Mr Simuyu said they had

not yet paid the initial Sh80

million due to delays in disbursement of funds from the
National Treasury.
Once we pay the rst instalment of Sh80 million, we will
start our works and pay the
balance in the next nancial
year, he said.

amilies whose land was repossessed to pave the way for the
Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor project will be
paid before the end of this week.
Lamu Governor Issa Abdalla
Timamy said the National Lands
Commission (NLC) oce was nalising the issue and assured residents
they will be paid soon.
Addressing the public at Shella
Beach on Saturday during this years
Lamu Painters Festival, Mr Timamy
refuted claims that he was contributing to the pay delay.
He said what was delaying the
process was a survey plan showing
individuals plots and the numbers
that had not reached NLC chairman
Muhammad Swazuri by last week.

The governor asked the residents

to avoid politicising the matter and
instead focus on development saying
that all the lists of Lapsset victims
that were forwarded to Dr Swazuri
had been approved.
I am not involved in the delay
in compensating Lapsset families.
Those spreading such propaganda
should stop. I visited Swazuri recently. What was being waited was
the survey plan showing details of all
the Lapsset beneciaries, their plot
numbers and other details. I assure
you by next week, every victim would
have received compensation, said Mr
Timamy.
Mr Timamy said all the 157 beneciaries identied and vetted in the
rst batch will be paid.
Meanwhile, the Lamu council of
elders has urged the county government in cooperation with the NLC
and Lands ministry to advice all the
Lapsset beneciaries, set to be compensated this week, on how well to
handle the cash once received.
Speaking to the Nation in Lamu Island on Sunday, the over 50 elders said
they were worried that without proper
guidance, there was a high possibility
that the beneciaries would misuse
the compensation money.

Farmers have welcomed the drop

in diesel prices as they prepare for
the planting season but want costs
to be reduced further.
The farmers said reduced prices
will cushion them against high costs
of land preparation and farm input.
It will also increase crop production
and generate more income.
The fall in fuel prices will mitigate against low producer prices
and oer most farmers a chance
to invest in the next crop, said
Mr John Kirui, a maize farmer
from Burende, Nandi County, on
Saturday.
The cost of diesel has dropped
by Sh7.83, selling at Sh77.60 as
compared to Sh100.04 last year.
The decline is due to falling international crude oil prices.
Cultivation of such crops like
maize and wheat is a mechanised
process and cheap fuel prices will
reduce operating costs of farm
equipment, said Mr Isaac Kibogy from Sergoit, Uasin Gishu
County.
The farmers, however, petitioned
the government to consider reducing fuel prices further as the cost of
the resource has been declining.
Maize prices have dropped in
most parts of the region with a
bag selling at Sh1,600 down from
Sh2,000 at farm gate level.
The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is offering
Sh2,300 per bag but has suspended
buying the produce after exhausting

opportunities.
She said the project would

ABUJA, Sunday

igerian President Goodluck

Jonathan yesterday dismissed
allegations by ex-president
Olusegun Obasanjo that he was plotting to rig rescheduled presidential
elections next month.
A presidency statement said Mr
Obasanjo had accused President
Jonathan in the southwestern city
of Abeokuta of plotting to win the
March 28 vote by hook and crook
and planning to plunge the nation into
crisis if he lost.
For the record, President Jonathan
has no such intention and will continue to give the greatest possible
support to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC)... to ensure that the rescheduled elections are
successfully conducted, it said.
Turning the tables on Mr Obasanjo, the statement went on to also
accuse him of being the one who was
plotting.
Chief Obasanjos plot with others within and outside the country
to thwart the general elections and
foist an unconstitutional interim national government, which he hopes
to head, on the nation is well known
to us, it said.
The statement added: But by the
Grace of God Almighty, his odious
plan to return to power through the
back door will fail woefully.
Mr Obasanjo was Nigerias military
ruler from 1976 to 1979 and its rst
president when democracy returned
to the country in 1999.
He contested and won elections
in 1999 and 2003 on the platform
of the ruling Peoples Democratic

successor Musa YarAdua to an election win in 2007 with Jonathan as
vice president.

Sierra Leone Ebola funds audit exposes government corruption

BY KEMO CHAM

NATION Correspondent
FREETOWN, Sunday
A highly anticipated report on
how millions of US dollars meant for
ghting the Ebola epidemic in Sierra
Leone were managed has indicted the
government.
It revealed massive irregularities
in awarding of contracts and
management of the funds totaling

over $30M meant for purchases of

ambulances, building of treatment
centers and payment of Ebola front
line workers.
The report, submitted to parliament
conrmed a long held suspicion of
corruption within the ministry of
Health and Sanitation which has
been managing the funds.
This, critics say, may have slowed
the response to the epidemic.
The report found the ministry

wanting for failing to produce

any documentation for contract
agreements amounting to Le17billion
($4M), including Le12.7 billion ($3M)
meant for the purchase of ambulances
and Le2.7billion ($700, 000) for the
construction of a treatment center.
The report , done by the
constitutionally mandated Audit
Service Sierra Leone, covers the
months May to October 2014, shortly
before the epidemic took a rm grip on

the country. Payment of Ebola workers

have also been shrouded in confusion.
The report also revealed a possible
connivance between government
ocials and civil society activists
working on the anti-Ebola drive.
About $90, 000 was lodged into the
personal account of a renowned civil
society activist, it revealed.
The payment involved a total of six
cheques and disbursed between 9th
June and 10th July.

There will be 30-year

statement isuued by

JOHANNESBURG, Sunday

oreign nationals can only be

entitled to long term leasing
of land with a minimum of
30 years and will not be allowed
to buy land in South Africa under
a proposed bill, South Africas
Presidency said yesterday.
The Land Holdings Bill will
also regulate the amount of land
that any individual can own with
the limit being 12,000 hectares,
an approximate equivalent of two
farms, the Presidency said in a
statement.
If any single individual owns
above that limit, the government
would buy the excess land and
redistribute it, said the Presidency.
The Bill will soon be sent to
the Cabinet for approval, after
which will be a process of public
consultation and thereafter it
will be submitted for the necessary parliamentary procedures
before being assented to by the
president.
In his State of the Nation Address (SONA) in parliament on
Thursday, South African President
Jacob Zuma announced an end to
the ownership of land by foreign-

KHARTOUM, Sunday

ers. He said a bill in this regard

will be submitted to parliament
this year. The announcement has
given rise to jitters among investors over the bills possible impact
on foreign investment.
Once the Bill is assented to by
the president, foreign nationals
can only be entitled to long term
leasing of land with a minimum of
30 years and will not be allowed
to buy land in South Africa, the
Presidency said.
The practice of limiting land
ownership by foreign nationals
and juristic persons is an established practice internationally.
Under the proposed bill, foreign
nationals and juristic persons are
understood as non-citizens as well
as juristic persons whose dominant share holder or controller is
a foreign controlled enterprise,
entity or interest. Hence not all
immigrants to South Africa will be
excluded from land ownership.
This category of foreign nationals that are non-citizens will not
be able to own land in freehold
from the time the policy is passed
into law.
They will be allowed a long term
lease of 30 to 50 years, according
to the bill. It is recognised that this
cannot apply retrospectively without constitutional infringements
and as such those who have
already acquired freehold would
not have their tenure changed by
the passing of the proposed law.

Sudans
foreign
ministry
spokesperson Youssef al-Kordofani
has said that Human Rights Watchs
report on allegations of a mass rape
in North Darfurs village of Tabit is an
attempt to reproduce a closed issue
that has been proven to be false.
The Sudanese ocial emphasised
that the world is now convinced that
the story is illogical and has no basis
or credibility.
Mr Al-Kordofani expressed Sudans
regret and condemnation for HRWs
adoption of these allegations saying
that its main source is the Netherlandsbased Radio Dabanga which has no
credibility and is the mouthpiece of
Darfur rebels.
He argued that reports of mass
rape of 200 women is not compatible
with logic and dees customs and
traditions as Tabit is small village
with a tiny population and that it
is not conceivable that 200 women
are sexually assaulted in one night
without protests or demonstrations
afterwards.
He also noted that most of Tabits
army soldiers are married to women
from that village or surrounding
villages and staying with their families
there. The spokesperson stressed that
UN peacekeeping force in Darfur
(UNAMID) visited Tabit village at the
time and issued a statement stating
there was no evidence of mass rape
cases in the village.
Also a group of national and
international media representatives
visited the village, who refuted the
allegations.
The spokesperson accused rebels of
making these allegations to suggest
that the situation in Darfur is still
unstable and that time has not yet
come to repatriate IDPs to their
villages. (Sudan Tribune)

young beauty when men his age were
craving for Viagra, for a second time,
as the African Union chair, being the
continents face to the world, and head
of the 15-member Southern African
Development Community (SADC).
Thats not mentioning his transfer
of land from minority White farmers
to indigenous people. Actually, the
fault wasnt in the intent. It was
the manner it was carried outby
means unnecessaryand nepotistic
nature the land was allocated that

deserve condemnation. Of course

Mugabe would wish most people
have forgotten his brutal suppression of opponents in Matabeleland
and the countrys Midlands regions in
1980s. An estimated 20,000 people
were killed.
That goes for a virtual collapse
of the economy at one time and the
humiliating decision to abandon the
countrys currency in favour of the
imperialistic US dollar. That was
a time when many Zimbabweans
became pauper millionaires. The
Zimbabwe dollar was worthless.
Oh, yes! And there was a time when
he silently watched, some might say
orchestrated, violence against opponents by his ZANU-PF supporters
during the 2002 and 2008 elections
and last Decembers humiliation of his
vice president and her supporters.
The only redeeming feature is

That the issue of Mugabes succession came up isnt new. Its even
more prevalent after his fall before

Ethiopia, where he was unanimously
elected chair for a year.
People of any age trip and fall. So,

Whatever, Mugabe, as he said

BUSINESS
REPORT | Companies accused of initiating vicious ght for raw material in western Kenya

Cane theft could cost two sugar

millers in Kakamega their licences
The fate of Butali and West
Kenya now lies in the hands
of Parliament after House
team submits report
BY RAMENYA GIBENDI
@ramenyagib
rgibendi@ke.nationmedia.com
icences of two private millers in western Kenya could be revoked should
Parliament adopt a report on the
ndings of an inquiry into the challenges
facing the sugar sector.
The parliamentary committee on Agriculture has recommended the withdrawal of
milling permits of Butali and West Kenya
Sugar companies, accusing the pair of initiating a vicious ght for control of the raw
material access in the sugar belt.
The two, says the report, were licensed
without providing evidence of sucient
raw material to guarantee their operations
as is required in law, setting the stage for
conict.
Licences for West Kenya Sugar Company
and Butali Sugar Mills should be suspended
until both millers prove they have developed
sucient cane to sustain their operations to
reduce cane poaching, reads the report by
the committee and seen by Nation.

Year-long investigation

Titled The crisis facing the sugar industry in

Kenya, the report was compiled in November
last year after a year-long investigation by
the committee chaired by Mandera North
MP Adan Noor.
This followed a petition to Parliament by
a lobby group Western Development Initiative Association.
It had petitioned Speaker Justin Muturi in
2013 to order a probe into the woes facing
the industry. According to the report, the
committee also focused on illegal sugar imports, the roles of Kenya Revenue Authority,
Kenya Ports Authority and the Directorate of
Criminal Investigations, in the sector.
The genesis of cane poaching is attributed to the licensing of West Kenya Sugar
Company and Butali Sugar Mills within close
proximity to the already existing cane millers, with total disregard of the law, reads
the report.
In practice, development of own cane

Drivers deliver sugarcane to a factory in western Kenya. A parliamentary committee has recommended the revoking
of milling licences for two sugar rms, citing poaching of raw material.

The distance
in kilometres

Butali Sugar
Mills and its

estate as well as contracted farmers is a

precondition for licensing.
The committee, however, found that
this precondition is no longer adhered to,
a situation that had created wrangles in cane
zones as new millers who were licensed unprocedurally encroached on contracted crop
already established by existing rms.
Kenya Sugar Board, now a directorate
under the Agriculture Food and Fisheries
Authority and whose boss at the time, Mrs
Rosemary Mkok, was questioned by the
committee, also indicted West Kenya factory in sugar poaching.
Mrs Mkok told the committee that West
Kenya was the main sugarcane poacher in
western Kenya and the board had received
complaints from neighbouring millers.
The former sugar board boss, who is the
current head of the sugar directory, also faces
the sack, should Parliament adopt the report
in its entirety upon tabling by the commit-

tee. The then Kenya Sugar Board Chief

Executive Ocer Rosemary Mkok should
be relieved of her responsibilities for failing
to discharge her responsibilities eectively
in regulating the sugar sub-sector as per
the existing regulations, says Mr Noor in
the report.
Mrs Mkok is on the spot for issuing an
operating licence to West Kenya, in complete
disregard of the law. The miller is said to
have had no evidence of raw material supply
upon its licensing.
Mr Noor says in the report that thorough
investigations should also be carried out to
determine the role the sugar directorate boss
played in the registration of Butali Sugar
Mills in complete disregard of the regulation on zoning.
Butali Sugar Company and its bitter rival
West Kenya are located 10 kilometres from
each other and have always been embroiled in

espite being slapped

with a higher tari to
access the countrys
biggest market in Europe,
horticulture registered growth
in earnings for 2014, albeit
marginal.
Kenya earned Sh84 billion
from fresh produce exports
last year, representing a 0.8
per cent increase.
According to data released
by the Kenya National Bureau
of Statistics (KNBS), earnings
rose by Sh700 million to Sh84
billion in 2014 from Sh83.3 billion the sub-sector fetched in
2013.
Delays by Kenya and the
European Union to sign an
Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) in the last half of
2014, affected performance
during the period.
Earnings from vegetables
were hard hit, declining by 18
per cent to Sh18.8 billion compared to Sh22.9 billion made in
2013 on lower volumes.
The value of fruits registered
the most growth as it rose 20
per cent to Sh5.4 billion compared to Sh4.48 billion earned
in a previous year.
Cut flowers, on the other

hand, registered a growth of

7 per cent to Sh59.9 billion
up from Sh55.9 billion year
on year.
Export volumes rose by 10.5
per cent to 114,762 tonnes in
2014 from 103,778 tonnes in
2013, while those of fruits
rose by 13 per cent to 35,149
tonnes from 31,107 tonnes in
the period under review. The
European Union is Kenyas
largest market of horticultural products and accounts
for between 65 per cent and

export earnings.

Cofek wants energy

regulator probed
BY NATION REPORTER
Consumers Federation of
Kenya has petitioned Parliament to look into aairs of
the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), which it has
accused of abusing its powers
of fuel price control in favour
of private investors.
In a letter to the clerk of
the National Assembly dated
February 2, seen by the Nation,
Cofek alleges that membership
of the ERC board is inconsistent with the Constitution.
The lobby is seeking consumers representation, which
it says is currently limited to
private sector players.
The Consumers Federation
of Kenya hereby draw the attention of the House to the
need to have the National Assembly through the relevant
committee(s), to urgently
commence investigations and

thereafter, report to the house

so as to establish and recommend drastic measures against
the continued blatant injustice
upon consumers by the high
fuel price xing by the ERC,
against global market prices,
reads the letter.

Expected drop

Cofek first expressed its

dissatisfaction with the ERC
last month after it announced
a Sh9 per litre reduction, which
put the price of super petrol in
Nairobi at Sh92 a litre.
The lobby expected it to drop
to about Sh85 a litre, citing the
signicant drop in the price of
crude oil on the international
market.
ERC blames the mismatch
in pricing on taxes and levies,
cost of rening crude, shipping
costs and the time lag between
procurement and receipt of
products.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
The stars are providing you with a time for
intense concentration, and also taking a
dispassionate look at the way you are feeling
about a particular relationship. When you do, you
may realize the direction in which you are going
is not one you want to follow.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
The planets will be putting you in an overly
idealistic frame of mind and your expectations
of others go beyond the bounds of reason. If you
can recognise this in yourself lower your sights;
otherwise you are sure to be disappointed at a
later date and this
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
Today you will see somebody in their true
colours. Once you are aware of their intentions
and desires you can either bury the hatchet or

start on a dierent course. There is also a sparkly

feel to a new relationship, which encourage
spontaneous decisions. However impulsive you
maybe, other people may not realize that events
have been leading up to this course of action
.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
There is likely to be a dramatic change of out
look or mind today. So you will have to nd some
way of letting them know that you are not about
to allow yourself to be messed around in any
way, shape or form.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Other people will be full of admiration for
your originality and this will result in a nice
warm glow inside. Geminis, who are waiting
to hear from somebody abroad, are unlikely to
be disappointed. This is certainly a day when
literally anything can happen.

CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22

If you are a freelance worker make that crucial
call because it could make all the dierence. If
not greet new faces on your social scene with a
certain amount of warmth, as well as curiosity
Remember there is a tendency for you to regard
strangers as specimen.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
You may experience a couple of days when you
feel the need to retire from the hustle and bustle
of life and sort out your own thoughts. In which
case may I suggest that you plan a quiet evening,
during which you can please yourself in whatever
way you choose.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
It is quite likely that you may run out of either
energy or enthusiasm today at work. This may
create an unfortunate impression. Certain

insecurity may dog your every step but if this

is the case remember that its only the planets
playing up and this will soon pass away.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
There may be a slowing down of your plans, but
this can only work in your favour in the end, You
will nd those who are closest to you in a very
serious mood, and they want to pin you down to
a decision or simply pick your brains to nd out
what your intentions are.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
You seem to be slap bang in the middle of all the
action and limelight. Make sure you are looking
good, because you will most certainly be feeling
great. Use this day for pushing those ambitions
further forward towards to your ultimate go and
you wont waste your time.

SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21

If ever there was a time for deciding exactly what
and whom you want out of your life, this is it, so
dont waste it. Your concentration is increased, so
even the most laborious of jobs can be tackled
with a willing support from a superior.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
The more ambitious side of your personality will
be apparent to all those around. If you believe
in your ideas and suggestions, you wont be put
o by more negative souls in your social circle at
work. Push ahead with anything that is important
to you.

irat Kohli smashed a century to

over arch-rivals Pakistan in a
World Cup blockbuster watched by a
potential global audience of 2.5 billion
people yesterday.
Defending champions India started
the 2015 edition by piling up 300 for
seven at the Adelaide Oval, where
almost 42,000 fans turned the occasion into a vibrant, colourful and noisy
event, before Pakistan were dismissed
for 224 to suer a sixth World Cup
loss against their neighbours.
Indias win meant that in all four
games played so far at this World Cup
the team batting rst has triumphed,
with all four victorious sides making
300-plus totals.
South Africa had earlier maintained
that trend with a 62-run victory over

Kohli hit 107, becoming the rst

Its one of the biggest wins of my

said Kohli after his 22nd ODI century
on the same ground where he made
two centuries in a Test match against
Australia in December.
Expectations of me will rise but
I just look to stand up to it. I hate
losing. I love to win and play for my
country. My role is to play a long innings so that the power hitters can
play with freedom.

NELSON, New Zealand

Traditional giant-killers Ireland
and under-pressure West Indies
possess all the ingredients for a
high-scoring clash in their opening World Cup match in Nelson
today.
Both sides feature quality batsmen but relatively inexperienced
bowling line-ups for a match
they have each targeted as ripe
for getting immediate points on
the board.
Ireland are no strangers to knocking over teams from crickets elite
top eight. At the 2011 World Cup
they pulled o an historic win over
England and four years before that
they stunned Pakistan.
In the lead up to this tournament
they beat ninth-placed Bangladesh
who sit just one spot behind the
West Indies in the International
Cricket Councils one-day international rankings.

A run-a-ball

Suresh Raina contributed a breezy

74 o 56 balls with three sixes while
opener Shikhar Dhawan made 73 at
just over a run-a-ball.
Pakistans giant paceman Mohammad Irfan, the tallest international
cricketer at 7ft 1in, endured a torrid
afternoon, nishing with gures of
none for 58 o 10 overs and getting
warned for running on the wicket.
Pakistan seamer Sohail Khan
claimed ve for 55 in his maximum
10 overs but his team-mates always
struggled to keep in touch with the
required run-rate when they batted
under the Adelaide oodlights with
only skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (76)
making a fty.
They played well, posted a good
total and bowled well. When we lost
wickets in the middle it made it
hard, said Misbah.The pitch was
very good. (AFP)

were sent into bat at Hamiltons Seddon
Park on yesterday.
Miller (left) and Duminy shared a new
one-day international record stand for the
fth wicket of 256.
The way we played there were a lot of
positives, said Chigumbura. I thought
we were in the game for a long time,
maybe we lost it the last ve overs of

I think, the 47th over, thats where
we gave away too many runs that went
away.
Zimbabwe were making good progress
at 191 for two, with Hamilton Masakadza

Wicket loss that West Indies

suered against England in a build
up match
The West Indies meanwhile
suered a morale damaging ninewicket loss to England last week
when they were all out for 122 in
29.3 overs, and just managed to beat
Scotland with three balls to spare.
The West Indies, winners of the rst
two World Cups in 1975 and 1979,
have a reputation for being able to
play sublime cricket.
However, their glory days were
some years ago and in recent times
the quality performances have been
few and far between.
In Chris Gayle, playing in his
fourth World Cup, they have a
batsman who can turn a game
in an over and along with Marlon
Samuels, and Darren Sammy dont
lack for muscle nor depth in the
batting department. (AFP)

Sony Sugar coach Zedekiah Zico Otieno has said
Kenyas dream of featuring in the African Cup of
Nations nals will remain a mirage unless the government cleans up the rot in domestic football.
Zico yesterday said that for the national football

streamlining operations.
The former Kenya international and Harambee
Stars coach also said that ocials of the local
federation must walk the talk and ensure clubs
have academies to nurture talent that will act as a
feeder programme to the senior side.
Kenyas plans of featuring at the Afcon will
simply remain a mirage. You cannot concentrate
on the national team alone and hope for miracles.
Unless we wake up to the reality and begin investing

Red-hot Oosterik wins season-opener at Nakuru

BY FRANCIS MUREITHI

fmureithi@ke.nationmedia.com
Jason Oosterik won the junior rotax
category honours as the 2015 Go-karting season-opener at the Rift Valley
Motor and Sport Club in Nakuru
yesterday.
But Oosterik had lady luck to thank
as Philip Ndegwa who amassed 75
points and was leading the race,
twisted his neck as he negotiated

sharp corner and slowed down before

Oosterik zoomed past him.
I know Philip is a fast driver and
gives me stiff challenge but I am
happy I have started the season with
a huge victory, said Oosterik.
Jevin Gohil who gave the two top
runners a run for their money came
third with 65 points to keep alive his
hopes of nishing at the top as the
season gathers momentum. Krishma
Gohil who has graduated from the

50cc to 60cc was the only girl in the

race and, despite the tough opposition from the boys, she nished fth
with 50 points.
This is not bad for a season-opener
and taking into account I was used to
60cc. I will train hard to put the boys
on their toes in the third and fourth
round in April, said Krishma.
Ryan Bailey who was expected to
feature among the top three found
the going tough and nished sixth

with 44 points. In the 50cc category,

only two drivers took part in the race
which was easily won by the emerging
queen of go kart, Nellie Kamau who
collected 75 points ahead of Harmek
Singh who had 65 points.
Most of the drivers in this category
including regular campaigners Dennis

omestic cup holders Sofapaka

yesterday began their Confederations Cup campaign
on a losing note going down 2-1 to
Zimbabwes Platinum Stars at the
Nyayo National Stadium.
Batoto ba Mungu capitulated early
in the match with Brian Muzundwa
ring the visitors into the lead in the
24th minute.
Abdoul Fiston restored balance
in the match immediately after
the restart but his eort was later
cancelled by Donald Ngomas 74th
minute goal.
The visitors required little time
to settle and were the better team
for most part of the match, with the
attacking line led by Muzundwa and
Walter Mtaua constantly threatening
the Sofapaka back line that terribly
missed the reliable Eugene Asike and
Collins Shivachi.

When you dont take

your chances, you are
punished and that is
what happened to us
today. We created many
chances but we could
not convert any of
them

played well (on Saturday) and with
the scoreline narrow, it is an open

we have our fate in our own hands,

Lankly Gor Mahia forward,
Michael Olunga, was a constant
menace to CNaPS defence but he
could not bury the numerous chances
that came his way. Though Victor Ali
Abondo, struck the lone goal from
the spot very early in the match, the
dead ball specialist lacked the air
he is better known for.
Youngster Timothy Otieno, who
has on many occasions impressed
as second striker, was shifted wide
on the right with another new acquisition Ronald Omino playing far
left, and Nuttall, could will need to
tinker with his formation if he is to
harbour any dreams of advancing in
the tournament.
Since the season began, KOgalo
have struggled in front of goal without Dan Serunkuma last seasons
top scorer. the Ugandan decamped
to Tanzanian side Simba.
Though Olunga has been hailed
for his high work ethic, he still lacks
the killer instincts and composure
in front of goal.
In mideld, veteran Jerry Santos,
looked heavy and out of place and
Nuttall could consider recalling the
combative Collins Gatusso Okoth
to partner the assured Ugandan mideld gem Khalid Aucho.
Being a box-to-box midfielder
Aucho could be granted the freedom to press forward if he had
Okoth playing beside him.
The Scot could also well shue his
Saturdays makeshift backline that
never looked comfortable.

Liverpool clicking into gear, says Rodgers

London
Brendan Rodgers (left) claimed Liverpool are hitting top gear at the right

Liverpool have now lost just once from
their last 16 games in all competitions.
The Merseysiders are making a charge
for a Champions League return in the
Premier League.
Rodgers side are still in the hunt for

silverware in the Europa League and

now they are three victories away from

Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana

win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Rodgers admits England striker Sturridges return from a long-awaited injury
that has wiped out over half of the season
cannot be underestimated.
He said: Danny is working his way

back. Its about extending his game

time. I have to do that or you risk reinjuring him, and thats something we
cant aord.

CORRUPTION | Chirchir and Hassan to record statements at the anti-graft agency oces

Chicken case suspects face sacking

Kenyans
linked to
Sh50m
scandal
to be
sent

charged

BY SAMWEL BORN MAINA

op government ocials
accused of involvement
in the chicken scandal
will be suspended from oce if
they are charged.
Investigations of those adversely mentioned over the
multi-million-shilling bribery
scam that involved ocials of
a British printing company will
this week enter a critical stage
as their summonses begin.
To make the case watertight,
the Ethics and Anti-Corruption
Commission (EACC) will invite
witnesses from the UK who are
privy to the matter.
It will also rely heavily on material used by a UK court during
the prosecution of two directors
of Smith & Ouzman (S&O), who
have since been jailed.
Those who will be removed
from oce if charged include
Energy Cabinet Secretary
Davis Chirchir and Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission Chairman Isaack
Hassan and other IEBC ofcials.
The ocials names have been
adversely mentioned in the scandal that involved procurement of
voting material.
Yesterday, EACC Chairman
Mumo Matemu said the matter

KEY SUSPECTS

Men set to be probed by agency

Mr Davis Chirchir
Was commissioner
with IIEC and was
part of a team that
travelled to London
to check printing.

Mr Isaack Hassan
As the chairman
of the electoral
agency, he was at
the centre of decision-making

had been given priority because

it is of public interest.
At the centre of the EACC
investigations will be the local
agent of S&O, Mr Trevy Oyombra, whom the commission will
interrogate to nd out whether
he, indeed, passed on bribes to
Kenyan ocials.
The kickbacks are said to have
been paid for awarding of printing tenders to the rm.
If he (Mr Oyombra) was given
money, we want to nd the evidence that he indeed disbursed
the money to Kenyan ocials.
That is the link we are pursuing,
said Mr Matemu.

Mr Paul Wasanga
Was CEO of the examinations council
that had a longstanding relationship with printers.

Five EACC ocials who were

sent to the UK came back on
Saturday.
By yesterday evening, they
were going through their notes,
which will guide them on who
to summon rst.
We sent them there because
we needed evidence from the UK
just like the British authorities
sought material from us. What
we nd out will inform us on the
work plan and summons, said
Mr Matemu.
It will be a busy week at
Integrity House, where the
EACC offices are, as several
ocials, including Mr Chirchir,

Mr Hassan, and former Kenya

National Examinations Council
(Knec) boss Paul Wasanga will be
summoned to record statements
on their roles in the scam.
Mr Matemu said the Constitution gives the suspected
individuals some rights that
include fair trial.
Even as the Constitution
gives people certain rights, it
should be noted that public
property does not belong to
private pockets, he said.
Although the named ocials
have denied any role in eating
the chicken, said Mr Matemu,
denials do not clear anyone of
wrongdoing.

Investigations

We are governed by evidence

presented to us and our own investigations. We are already in
the middle of our investigations
and it will be improper for me to
delve into details of our ndings,
he added.
Last Thursday, Mr Nicholas
Charles Smith, 43, was handed
a three-year jail term while his
father Christopher John Smith,
71, was sentenced to an 18-month
suspended term, for their roles
in the scandal in which top ocials of the Interim Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Commission and others from Knec
allegedly pocketed up to Sh50
million.

Subtle bigotry and racism

For more than 50 years, France
accepted thousands of immigrants
under its assimilation policy. However,
its attempts to integrate these
foreigners, mainly from North Africa,
have not been successful, leaving
most of them feeling out of place
BY PATRICK MBATARU
pmbataru@gmail.com

t is a September morning in
2004. It is hardly a week since
I arrived in Toulouse, France,
for further studies. I go to report
that my room has no lights. The white
woman at the reception of the hostel
looks at me once, conscates my keys
and blurts out in rapid French: Vous
parakash, perr barash haragash ici!
That is all I manage to get, and it
means: Ah, yo--u are the one! We
have caught you now! The shrill
edge in her voice alarms me as all
the French I had mastered at the
Alliance Franaise in Nairobi quickly
evaporates.
Apparently, someone has been
sneaking into the hostels to steal
stu and she believes I am the one!
Luckily, one of the workers recognises
me and tells the receptionist that I am
a new student. She gives me back my
keys and we all burst into animated
laughter. I decide to remain calm.
That incident marked the
beginning of my four-year stay in
the country of fraternit, galit and
libert (brotherhood, equality and
freedom). It was an eye-opener
to life in a country culturally and
religiously divided between the
majority white French citizens and
the restless minorities, largely Arabs
and Blacks, mainly from the former
French colonies in North Africa.
In most of Europe, no one will throw
stones at you just because you are
Black. However in countries like
Germany, Spain, Italy or the Nordic
countries, xenophobia is on the rise.
In Germany, drunk youths will shout
Nigger! at black people and cases
of neo-Nazi attacks are rising.

Subtle

Now, the French are an exceedingly

polite, warm and gregarious people,
much more than their cousins the
British and the dour Scandinavians.
In France, passengers greet the bus
driver when they board and wish
him well as they alight! Direct racial
attacks are generally rare because
attitudes have changed a lot over
the decades. However, subtle racial
proling and bigotry are alive and
deeply ingrained in day-to-day life.
One of the most irritating things is

constantly being asked things such

like how I learnt to play table tennis
in Africa! Someone is perplexed that I
can play the keyboard, or that I wake
up very early to work.
I am also uncomfortable with the
excessive praise. You see, in my
culture, you do not praise grown-ups
for doing normal things like lifting a
chair or wearing a jacket. Thats for
children.
Patrick, you are very strong
strong. The woman I am helping
movet house keeps saying whenever
I as much as lift a nger. I want to
tell her to shut up but I hold back. I
am not sure she would say the same
things to a white adult.
But these episodes are more sources
of humour to me and I usually turn
them into jokes. However, some are
not so amusing.

Always a suspect

It slowly dawns on me that by virtue

of my skin, I am always a suspect
here. I enter a supermarket and
some attendant follows me around,
obviously to make sure I dont lift
anything.
Here, if you are black, you are
either a thief (or a prostitute if you
are a woman), an illegal immigrant
generally up to no good... Maiga Musa
from Niger tells me. It does not take
me long to nd that out.
I am in a supermarket when this
White woman suddenly shrieks.
My purse! My purse! she
shouts, all the while looking at me
suspiciously, nay, her eyes directly
accusing me.
My purse! she cries past the line
of sympathising shoppers at the till.
Five minutes later, an attendant runs
from the back of the shop with the
purse the woman had absentmindedly
left on a shelf.
But even with her purse back in
her possession, she keeps casting
an accusing eye at me.
Another day, I am walking out of
a supermarket when I trip and some
items I have just bought spill onto
the street.
As I am picking them up, a police
car pulls up beside me. A policeman
cranes his neck and sternly asks me,
Monsieur quest que vous y ramassez?
( Hi mister, what are you picking from
the ground!)

2004
The year the writer, Patrick Mbataru,
arrived in Toulouse, France for
further studies.. He realised during
his four-year stay that, thanks to his
being Black, he would always be a
suspect wherever he went, even if
he had done nothing wrong.

Understanding only the rst part of

the question, I ask demurely What is
ramassez? The ocer understands
my language problem, which also
betrays me as a foreigner.
Mister, passport? Papers? He
attempts in English.
I show him my passport.
What you collected?
Just some itemsfrom the
supermarket
No drugs?
I answer in the negative,
considerably taken aback. He notes
my irritation.
He re-enters the vehicle and drives
o without a word. He had seen a
drug dealer in me.
But I am not so lucky the next time.
I am rushing to meet my supervisor
at his house near the main train
station called Gare Matabieu when
two young men rush towards me and
politely introduce themselves as police
ocers. They ash their police ID
cards. Yes, up there the cops do!
The train station is teeming with
plainclothes policemen who pounce
on anyone who looks suspicious. It
is deemed a key entry point for illegal
immigrants.
Monsieur, your papers? one of
them asks.

The writer, Patrick Mbataru, in Toulouse, France. His rst-hand experience with the authorities in the European country made him realise just
what immigrants endure daily.

I show them my college card.

Passport?
I forgot it in the hostelssorry,
I say.
Mr, you will have to come with
us!
I do not have a phone, so I cannot
call anyone. I swear to the policemen
that I inadvertently left my passport
in the hostel. My French fails me,
again, which just increases the
ocers suspicions.
They take me to a patrol van
around the corner. There are more
policemen inside. The vehicle is
equipped with sophisticated
communication gadgets.
So what are you doing at the
university? one of the cops asks.
I explain that I am a Kenyan
doctoral student at the University of
Toulouse, le Mirail, and have only a
fortnight to stay in their country and
will go back home after defending my
thesis. My pleas fall on deaf years.
And then the universal police spirit
comes out. Yes, that familiar series
of asinine questions!
So you think because you are doing
a doctorate you dont have to carry
your passport? Ehh? It is so typical
police-style that I almost expect to
hear, Kijana, unakiria
I do not respond.
And this opens an avalanche of snide
comments from his colleagues.

Monsieur, what is your passport

asks.
I forgot it, Sir, I manage to
respond to that one.
Meanwhile, they make several calls
to God knows where, repeating my
full name several times.

Okay, he is legal..., the guy
at the communication apparatus
announces. Now, young man, (I
was actually grey-haired and 40plus at the time). You are free,
but next time, carry your passport,
otherwise they warn me.
I am completing my studies in
two weeks and will go back to my
country, is all I can say.
Tant mieux pour toi, monsieur (So
much the better for you, mister!),
one of the cops says, using the
familiar you, which in French is
impolite when speaking to a person
one is not familiar with.
I narrate the story to my supervisor.
He is exasperated and promises to
follow it up with the university.
Apparently, the university and the
police have an agreement that the

student ID card is enough proof

of ones legal stay in France. I
leave France shortly after, on June,
15, 2008.
These may pass as isolated cases,
but the recent events in France
have forcefully brought to the fore
the debate on how dicult it is for
foreigners and minorities to survive
here. There are people who suer
that on a daily basis.

Ghettos

No white people come here! the

genial Arab guy serving me a kebab
in the Bagatelle neighborhood of
Toulouse tells me. Tens of youths
idle around. Everything here is
Arabic, and you would mistake it
for being in the Middle East. Arabic
music drifts from the shops selling
Arab clothing, lotions, perfumes
and eateries and groceries selling
Middle Eastern foods: shish kebabs
(mshikaki), olives and olive oil, pitas,
dates, mint and parsley.
I dont ask what would happen if
white people venture into the banlieu
(neighbourhood). But perhaps this
is answered more astutely by French
Prime Minister Manuel Valls after the
Charlie Hebdo attacks last month,
which left 17 people dead.

Young people paying music on the street. Many youths, particularly of North
African descent, feel trapped since few opportunities for upward mobility are
open to them.
For a country facing
such enormous social
challenges, it is to the
credit of its security
apparatus that there have
been few attacks by radic
als.
- Dr Patrick Mbataru, who
lived in France from 2004
to 2008 while pursuing
doctoral studies.

2005
The year the tensions borne of an
identity crisis among immigrant
youths and lingering bitterness
among the older generation
erupted after two young
immigrants were elctrocuted while
running away from the police.

There is, indeed, social, ethnic and

territorial apartheid in France.
Bagatelle looks peaceful but this
tranquility belies a huge problem
in France: the failed policy of
integrating 6.5 French Muslims,
mostly Arabs of North African and
Middle East extraction.
In this area, 20 per cent of the
youth are unemployed, but that
is still relatively better. In some
French cities, unemployment in
Arab-dominated banlieus can be as
high as 40 per cent. Resentment
among the people is very high and
they feel caged, a situation that has
led young people to disparagingly
call the high-rise apartment blocks
poulailler, which means chicken
coops.
Tension, borne of an identity
crisis among the young, as well
as lingering bitterness among the
older generation, simmers below
the tranquillity of these area. And
this eventually erupts in 2005, a
terrifying experience I will not forget
in a hurry.
Marauding youths with Molotov

cocktails stop our bus and order

everyone out. We rush out and within
no time, the bus is ablaze. No one
gets hurt. For days there is no public
transport. Luckily, the police act very
fast and contain the situation.
The famous riots were triggered by
the death of two immigrant youths
electrocuted while running away
from the police.
For a country facing such enormous
social challenges, it is to the credit
of its security apparatus that there
have been few attacks by radicals.
But the rst clear sign that things
are reaching boiling point was the
killing by a man-gang of three army
ocers and four people, including
three children in a Jewish school in
Toulouse in 2012.
Latifa Ibn Ziaten, the mother
of one of the victims of Toulouse
killer Mohamed Merah, told the
BBC recently that the youth in the
banlieus are lost, have no compass
and feel cast aside.
They are at the mercy of anyone
who wants to indoctrinate them,
she said.

As a Muslim in France, you are rst dened by your religion

BY PATRICK MBATARU
FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, France
has welcomed a large numbers of Muslim immigrants, mainly from its former
colonies in North Africa. When the
economy was booming in the 1960s
and 1970s, migrant labour was critical for jobs that the French were not
interested in. Many, if not most, live
in ghettoes ocially called Zones Urbaines Sensibles (ZUS in short), which
are just poor neighbourhood, towerblock ghettos ringing French cities and
towns.
It is estimated that today, France has
about 6.5 million Muslims, the majority of whom are second-generation

immigrant families. This is the largest

Muslim community in Europe.
In the 1940s and 1950s, France
waged a protracted war with Algeria
over the North African countrys independence. Thousand of liberals were
killed. Some accounts estimate that up
to 2 million Algeriasn lost their lives,
most of them in Kabri, the epicentre of
the war. The bitterness caused by the
war was carried across the Mediterranean with the rst wave of immigrants,
and has been transfused into the current generation.
Add to this lack of opportunity religious and ethnic proling, and you
have just the right mix like in Kenya
for the radicalisation of the disgruntled youths.

The French of Magreb origin are,

for example, unable to shed the label
Muslim, which comes before being
French.
Successive French governments
have poured billions of euros in attempts to help integrate the people
living in the ZUS. But neither this, nor
the countrys stated secularism, which
is grounded on the atheist French
Revolution that propagates freedom,
equality and brotherhood have not
helped immigrants to get absorbed
and adopt traditional national Frenchvalues.
So they remain on the fringes of
big cities alongside other mainly subSaharan immigrant groups) with poor
housing, limited job opportunities

and underfunded, overcrowded and

academically inferior schools, largely
marginalised and have great diculty
achieving upward mobility.
Political participation is still minimal, and it was not until 2002 that
two Cabinet members of North African
origin were nally appointed. Socioeconomic integration track records
remain poor. Needless to say, these
neighbourhoods have been fertile
grounds for the radicalisation of youth,
nally leading to the recent events in
Paris.
While many people in these areas
were saddened by the event, there
were just as many young people in
what ocialdom euphemistically calls
Zones Urbaines Sensibles (ZUS) who

did not join in in the mood that united

France after the attacks and media
reports say that in some schools in the
banlieus, some pupils refused to join in
the one-minute silence.
Ten years after the 2005 riots,
neither the billions of euros nor the
strategy of secularisation seem to
have borne fruit, exemplifying the
fact that money alone wont solve the
underlying issues in France, or indeed
anywhere else.
Perhaps there is something much
stronger fuelling the phenomenon and
pushing young people worldwide into
radicaliaation.
Reports say that tens of youths from
Toulouse are ghting for the Islamic
State in Middle East.

ROSES N THORNS: EXPERT ADVICE TO YOUR MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS

How to keep the re burning

RELATIONSHIPS

philip
kitoto
When it
comes to
relationships,
having
a set of
shared
values
is paramount.
These
values are
what will
see you
through
the storms
and difcult
moments

Many couples and singles alike wonder whether the dance of love can last
a lifetime. We live in a crowded busy,
selsh and individualistic world. There
are many voices speaking to us about
love and whether we found it or even
more, whether what we have found will
last. What music should we be dancing
to? Could we be listening to the wrong
voices?
In fact these voices come from both
within and without. How do we learn
to dance to the right music in order
to live a life that will be fullling to
yourself and make the God who created you happy that you made the
right choices. Whether we are single or
married, the voices that we hear daily
concerning relationships will call us to
a decision moment.

FILE| DAILY NATION

A great environment that spurs

growth will help
either spouse to
grow and reach
their potential.

Finding the Right Mate

My problem with many singles is

the failure to realise that success
in marriage does not come merely
through nding the right mate. The
search for the right partner should
not be something one rushes into.
There are certain things you should
cultivate in yourself before searhcing
for love.
Be the right person, with the kind of
values that you want others to have.
This will inevitably draw those who
share similar values to you. Remember
the old saying, Birds of a feather ock
together.
Having a lack of values is like being
a lone boat on the sea getting tossed
by waves. Such a boat may nd itself
pushed to any direction. In essence,
values help us determine behaviour,
choices, attitudes and way we live
our lives. This is what attracts certain
people into our lives. Either they dont
have those values and yet they admire
them or they embrace the same values
and want to associate with you.
This means that, if we look around
us, we should be seeing people that
value what we value. If not, may be
they are attracted to the kind of values they see in you and would like the
same values to rub o on them.
Sometimes, the people who hang
around you may not like everything
you do. But there could be certain core
values that draw these same people to
you. With time, what they like in you
should be strong enough to sustain a
relationship where they can overlook
the things they dont like very much.
When we rst started dating, my
wife thought that I was too outgoing
but yet loved my practice of christian
beliefs and how I generally carried myself around people.
When we rst met she wondered:
Can I ever settle down with such an
outgoing person? She has always been
more of an introvert. But later, what
sealed our love is the discovery of the
embedded values and biblical principles that each of us lived by. The truth
about relationships is that we tend
to be ourselves in the environment
we feel most secure and safe. This is
where we live out our true selves.

Loving for the Right Reasons

It is easier to confess love for

someone than it is to carry out the
responsibilities that accompany that
confession. In relationships, we judge

If our values are not

harmonised, then morally, there
will be major compromises in
the way the relationship will
progress.
For example, if one partner
claims to value honesty, yet
they live a lie consistently,
then one can rightfully say
that, there is something more
important to that person than
telling the truth.
Phillip Kitoto

the rightness of person because we feel

good about ourselves, safe, and fullled when with them.
But really, why do I fall in love?
What draws me to someone so
as to declare love for them? I read
somewhere recently that, the right
person will allow you to communicate
thoughts and feelings without fear of
judgment or the words expressed later
being used against you.
Because of their value system, the
behaviour of the person you choose
to date should be the same in public
and private; and the same when you
are with them and when they are away
from you.
This is why, our compatibility should
stem from having a basic knowledge of
someones background, beliefs, likes,
dislikes, practices and associations
because this is where you begin to see
who they are and value most. Therefore, the quality of any relationship is
directly linked to the importance of the
shared values.
A couple can only walk together if
they are in agreement. My prayer is
that this should be a well-researched
and founded agreement if it is going
to last the coming years of relational
stress due to some disagreements or
wrong choices.
Founding your relationship on solid
ground means that you are not selsh
in our choice of tpartner. It means that

we reasoned through all the options of

the good and bad of that person and
were convicted that the reasons that
move us towards having them as our
partner were not trivial or based on
temporal exploits.
Allow me to share a story from the
Bible about a woman called Jezebel
who was married by King Ahab. Many
scholars refer to her as the bad girl of
the Bible, and the most wicked of all
women in the Bible. It is probable that
she was associated strongly with the
priesthood of Baal.
Although Jezebel was a schemer, liar,
manipulator, and controlling woman,
Ahab still took a bold step topursue a
relationship with her for reasons of a
military alliance. Because Ahab was a
laid back leader, she caused much pain
to God and his people. This is why I
ask, Can two people walk together
without agreeing on the direction?
Marriage is both a journey of love
and commitment to the principles.
When we compromise, we kill the very
environment of growing ourselves and
our love for each other. Dating, engaged or married partners must have
an uncompromising agreement and
commitment on spiritual or matters of
faith, nancial resoruces, values and
practices, and how they will handle
their emotional life.
If for example we have agreed on
full disclosure on nance, it would
therefore be an acceptable to jointly
determine how such nances will be
used, where they will be invested or
what support we intend to give to
those in in need.

Committing to a set of values

to live by

The growth of a relationship is directly proportional to the values we

seek to embrace. As I said earlier,

growing and thriving relationships are

based on a set of common values.
Such a value system will include the
sum total of a persons ideas, beliefs
and or opinion you hold about life. In
order to build strong environment that
will support the relationship, a couple
needs to embrace the set of values
they have in common in particular,
spiritual and moral values must be as
similar as possible.
In my book, The Marriage Dance,
I advance the thought that marriage
must not only be right in our eyes but
Gods eyes also. One cannot change
their partner for their personal benet,
neither should their partner seek to
change just for their sake.
Change should come because you
personally feel that it will help advance
the objectives of the relationship. A
wise person once said, our actions are
the rst indicators of the values we
hold because our values are connected
to what is most important to us.
If our values are not harmonised,
then morally, there will be major compromises in the way the relationship
will progress. For example, if one partner claims to value honesty, yet they
live a lie consistently, then one can
rightfully say that, there is something
more important to that person than
telling the truth.
As a result, it is dicult to enjoy
a relationship with someone who is
substantially dierent from you. So, if
things we see like irting, are that important to us, we need to harmonise on
what is acceptable behavior and agree
on it before we demand it.
Agreement enhances a couples
unity, intimacy and increases productivity. If all that a relationship provides
is an alliance for personal gain, then
the couple compromises on what is
most important.

TO OUR READERS: Many counsellors now believe that the Kenyan family, the building block of our society and nation, is in a crisis. There is unhappiness and discord where there should be love
and joy. We have put together a diverse team of experts, family and marriage counsellors, led by Mr Philip Kitoto, to help heal the family by oering advice and support. Readers questions will

RELATIONSHIPS

EXPERT ADVICE TO YOUR MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP QUESTIONS

and your love as fresh as ever

Compromise has the ability to promote personal greed and selshness
at the expense spiritual values. Do we
ever consider what we stand to lose
when we allow compromise? The danger of compromise is that it leaves us
less fullled.

Proper environment for

Growth

Meaningful relationships must create a supportive environment that

promotes inclusiveness, armation,
positive growth and joint success. Our
growth environment must include the
social environment, spiritual, home environment and many more. One person
once said, show me the people a man
hangs around with and I will show you
what kind of a person he will become.
A great truth is that, bad company
corrupts good morals. As a couple, the
choice of where we spend time (social
engagements), the places we visit (circle of friends) and the way we treat
each other are a part of the environment I am talking about.
I have discovered that a great environment that spurs growth will help
either spouse to grow and reach their
potential; it will help the couple reach
their family goals together; and will
give an opportunity for the children to
grow, be nurtured, discover their gifts
and exploit them for the benet of the
family, nation and bring glory to God.

Our marriage lacks trust and delity, what should I do?

Dear Kitoto,
Im 25 years old and my husband is
26, we dated for a year before having
a traditional wedding and in that one
year he kept on cheating on me with
other women. I forgave him hoping
that he would change. After we got
married he got involved with an older
woman and we separated for a while.
We got back together when he had
found out that the woman was HIV
positive. He ended things with her
but kept on communicating with
her against my wish.
By Gods grace my husband was
negative. After we separated I too got
involved with another man. He was
caring and loving but I wasnt in love
with him. So, I ended it before getting
back with my husband.
Early in November he found out
about the aair the rst person he
turned to and discuss about our problem is the lady he was cheating on
with.
Two days later he threw me out of
our house not caring that I was carrying his child. I went home to my
parents but he kept on communicat-

ing to me. At rst he told me that he

wanted full custody of the baby once
I gave birth. I refused and asked him
to stay away from me and the child. A
week later he again called me asking
me to go back.
Now the woman is living with him
in our house but he says I should give
him time for him to end things with
the lady and this will happen after I
have given birth and a DNA test done
to prove that the child is his then he
can move in with me again. My question should I give him time or should
I move on with my life and try to establish myself again.
Risper
Hi,
The reasons that led him to continually cheat on you cannot be justied.
Since he could not deal with this constructively, he chose to continue his
behaviour.
I can tell from your words you truly
loved and cared about your marriage.
Two wrongs cannot make anything
right. Your getting involved with another person is regrettable, although

was your way seeking someone with

whom you can share the journey you
were in at that moment. Since choices
we make have consequences, you soon
realised that this relationship could
not oer you what you were looking
for.
Many people who go through pain
an extra-marital aair would never
wish it on another person. It is clear,
that your choice to also have an aair
did not make anything right or even
make you feel better.
Your decision to come back to your
home so that you could build your
family is noble. However, his actions
belie his lack of compassion and forgiveness.
I really do not think the coming
back to together is as simple as giving
birth and having a DNA test performed. The two of you need to have
a sitting and discuss thie indelity in
your relationship. The DNA test is a
good idea, after all I guess he is the father. If so, there is nothing to be afraid
of. Once you meet and discuss the past
events, nd out if getting a moment
with a counsellor will help.

Within our grasp

Opposition to new science

Mitochondria provide cells with

energy. Having a problem with your
mitochondria as a child means
that the progress of your brain,
the most energy-hungry organ, is
delayed. In addition, the heart, is
slowed down.
I watched a documentary on a
child with one of the genetic defects
that can be spread due to defects
in mitochondria. She hardly moves
and doesnt cry. She is fed using
tubes because she cant eat. She is
not expected to live long.
Yet another physical defect in our
person can be ended with this new
procedure. It is within our collective
grasp. However, there are problems
to be negotiated before the law is
adopted and inspires other countries
to adopt the procedure.
Scientic progress always brings
out the pitchforks from the clergy.
The Anglican Church has voiced
its concern over the procedure,
saying that it is unclear whether
the procedure is safe and ethical.
The Catholic Church opposes the
procedure because it will always
leads to destruction of healthy
human eggs.
This is important because, apart
from Iran, the UK is the only
country with the clergy in the upper
chamber of Parliament.
I am also curious, though, as
to why churches have a view on

Let us start with the Anglicans.

Opponents of new science always
fear that new discoveries might
be rushed. Galileo was told
that he shouldnt peer into the
heavens for fear of discovering our
insignicance. We are told not to
rush, and to perform more tests.
A three-parent child might seem
like an abomination, but it is merely
an extension of a lot of the work
that has become procedural when
it comes to animals. Notably, the
project is more than a decade old,
and children with multiple donor
DNA already exist. In fact, one is 14
years old. Already, close to 50 people
have been born using the procedure.
It is no worse than getting a liver
transplant.
A woman loses more than twothirds of her eggs before she is even
through with fertility through her
monthly periods. If you believe in
God, surely you would have to agree
that he takes a very relaxed view of
the destruction of embryos and eggs
since he seems to have designed a
system that does it repeatedly.
If it is okay for a womans body
to automatically destroy hundreds
of thousands of eggs during her
lifetime, what will happen when a
few such eggs are destroyed in a
laboratory?
Some people are scared that
this will lead to humans choosing

their babies sex and other physical

characteristics. That bridge will be
crossed when it is arrived at.
We should turn our sharpest tools
on ourselves and better human stock
in the way we are bettering animal
stock.
Children born from the procedure
would ensure that their children
and grandchildren have a chance
to break away from genetic defects
that might have stalked their family
for years.
Evils like polio, which persist
because of human ignorance,
should be eradicated. While the
right to refuse medical treatment
should be protected, we should
remember that we exist alongside
other people. For social animals, a
communicable disease is a collective
death sentence. If you do not want to
take polio medicine, you should be
put in prison or blasted toward the
moon and actively excommunicated
from the community of persons.
There was a hue and cry when
IVF came on stream and now the
children born from IVF will soon
be 40. No one said that fertilisation
must occur only in a womb.
The human condition has been
one of suering since the beginning
of time. The question, though, is
why suffering should be such a
constant companion, and why
children should face the problems
their fathers faced when we can do
something about it.
The genetic sins of the father must
not be visited on the sons.

Kenya has all it takens to

feature in Call of Duty
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST entertainment product in the world? The
answer is, of course, video games.
Video games have supplanted movies at the apex of the
entertainment pyramid. They arent just a novel pastime, they are the
most dominant method of telling a compelling narrative due to the
immersion they oer.
Violence is the most common theme in video games, and the
biggest name in the eld is Call of Duty.
Call of Duty isnt just the biggest video game, it is the most
lucrative entertainment product. The only year it isnt the most
lucrative entertainment product is when Grand Theft Auto is on the
horizon, when it comes a close second. The game is nowadays an
eSport, and the best players in the world compete for millions of
dollars in various competitions.
Apart from being a multiplayer competition, Call of Duty allows
players to play through a mission story.
The stories all have a unifying theme. It is a game in which, for
the most part, you shoot brown people who stand in the way of
American hegemony. I
The game appeals to ultimate American fantasy of endless
Orientals coming to destroy the White House. In Call of Duty Modern
Warfare 2, you ght through a completely destroyed White House,
where only the American ag remains resolute against the waves of
evil Russians. It is ludicrous fun and a great game all round
For the most part, you scour the globe hounding terrorists and
shooting them dead. No cave is too deep, no mountain too high and
no hideout too remote to escape the reach of American justice.
Throughout the game, you shoot Yemeni terrorists, Pakistani
anarchists, Afghanistani narco-terrorists, Indian militants, Russian
separatists, Brazilian gangs, Panamanian death squads, Somali
extremists, North Korean soldiers, Iranian saboteurs and French
fanatics. All these groups are united by their hatred of freedom and
the American way.
It saddens me that of all the terrorist-plagued countries featured,
Kenya is ignored every year by this franchise. Surely, there are people
who hate Americans locally and are, therefore, undeserving of life?
Surely, we have terrorists skulking around dreaming of a future when
the world will not be protected by bullet-proof American ags and
we will be free to consume without limits?
Our neighbour, Somalia, has been featured more than once.
Kenya has in the past featured in several video games. Resident Evil
5 is set in a coastal East African city that hints at being Mombasa. The
player shoots infected, Swahili-speaking zombies. The cars in the
game have Kenyan number plates and the grati on a Swahili house
mentions Kisauni Constituency.
The Halo series also features East African cities called New
Mombasa, Voi and Tsavo, all set in the future.
In Call of Duty, you assault convoys and assassinate VIPs, you raid
shopping malls with assault ries in order to shoot unarmed civilians
and set bombs that explode in public, all the while shooting at armed
police. You could say that all that has already happened in Kenya.
Why cant we aspire to be on Call of Duty? It would improve our
tourism to have Kenya featured in this lucrative franchise. We should
capitalise on our insecurity before the situation improves and have a
stage of the game set in Kenya.

We can beat cancer, but it

will take quite some time
A READER CHASTISED me recently for my piece on cancer when I
said that it looked unlikely that we would get a cure for the disease.
She said that I was denying families troubled by cancer hope of a
cure.
It wasnt my intention to squash hope of a cure. I wanted to
explain the complexity of tackling the disease.
Cancer is a statistical inevitability; if you escape other causes of
mortality, it is likely to be your cause of death. It is a problem that
comes to us from the time before there were mammals and the
world had unicellular animals. One cell out of a hundred trillion can
decide to go rogue and bring down the whole system. The disease
is a product of our awed design, a sort of internal self-destruction
feature that culls the species and allows the next generation a chance
to compete for resources.
It is a ferocious enemy greater than microbes that try to kill us
because it co-opts our own immune system into aiding it to kill us.
It will be tougher than any virus and more resilient, and adapt faster
than bacteria.
That, however, does not mean it cannot be vanquished. In the past
60 years, we have had a tremendous run: we have split the atom, we
have spliced the gene, and we have vehicles on the surfaces of both
the moon and the planet Mars.
The dream of a cure is currently deferred; it does not mean we are
defeated. We still do not have a strong enough international scientic
commitment to defeat the disease but if political were to be found,
we would move faster.
Remember, in 1960 a American president said that a man would
walk on the moon in a decade. Before that, the US hadnt even sent
a rocket to space, and all its attempts to go into the atmosphere had
ended in failure. John F Kennedy never lived to see his dream fullled,
but in 1969, Neil Armstrong walked on the surface of the moon.
