Arrests on

maize scam
BY BARNABAS BII
More suspects implicated in the
multibillion maize scam are to be
arrested as the Ethics and Anti-Cor-
ruption Commission (EACC) initiate
the second phase of their probe into
the loss of Sh11.3 billion meant to
pay genuine farmers who sold their
produce to the government.
This comes after 16 suspects
linked to the illegal purchase and
payment of maize to cartels by the
National Cereals and Produce Board
(NCPB) last season were arrested
and arraigned in court.
The EACC Executive Director in
charge of the North Rift, Mr Jackson
Mue, yesterday said investigations
were ongoing into the multibillion
scam after prime suspects were
arrested last month as farmers
continue to await their outstanding
payments.
“We have entered into the sec-
ond phase of our investigations to
unearth the truth behind the maize
purchase and payment,” said Mr
Mue on phone. The anti-graft sleuths
arrested 16 suspects, 10 of them from
the North Rift region last month
implicated in the maize scandal.
They include senior govern-
ment officials, NCPB senior

managers and staff, vetting com-
mittee members and traders.
“The suspects committed irregular-
ities during the vetting process at
the committee level, documentation
at the NCPB and allowing illegal
payment,” added Mr Mue.
Maize farmers are demanding
Sh3.5 billion for maize bought by the
government through NCPB last sea-
son for the Strategic Grains Reserve.
The treasury has only released Sh1.4
billion to be paid to the farmers on
condition that they be vetted afresh.
Detectives have in the last three
months pitched camp in various
NCPB depots in Western Kenya
region where cheap maize suspected
to be from Uganda and Mexico were
delivered and prompt payment made
to the cartels at the expense of gen-
uine farmers.
Eldoret, Moi’s bridge, Kitale,
Nakuru, Bungoma and Kisumu are
some of the NCPB depots that have
been under investigations.
It has since emerged that unscru-
pulous traders brought in maize from
neighbouring countries through
porous border points like Suam and
delivered the crop in large quantities
to Moi’s-Bridge, Bungoma and Ki-
sumu NCPB depots and were paid
princely sums.

Corporation (KDIC), to part with

papers show Justice Mwilu was arrested two
weeks ago on suspicion of receiv-
ing a Sh12 million bribe from the
lender, forgery and tax evasion,
alongside her lawyer, Mr Stanley
Muluvi. Their prosecution has,
however, been stopped by the High
Court, which will on October 9 give
her a hearing.
Recently filed court papers — in
a different case — indicate that
despite being placed under receiv-
ership, money was still withdrawn
from some suspicious accounts at
the centre of the Sh20 billion in-
vestigations. This is an indication
that KDIC officials may have aided
in illegal withdrawals, or that some
individuals have a back door to the
lender’s financial systems.
The total amount paid out after
receivership is yet to be disclosed.
The KDIC CEO, Mr Mohamud
Ahmed Muhamud, says in court
papers that Imperial Bank’s di-
rectors benefited from money
withdrawn after receivership, even
as the bank fights to secure two
prime properties in Nairobi and
Mombasa which house the bank’s
headquarters. The two are owned
by two companies associated with
former shareholders.
While the bank is now set to
be sold to KCB, after its bid was
allowed by the Central Bank, a new
saga has emerged about these two
prime properties — an indicator of
the mess within the troubled bank.
The Central Bank believes these

indicated that the bank had made
Sh556 million profit.
Although the dividends were
used to purchase and build the
properties housing the Nairobi and
Mombasa head offices by the two
real estate firms, the buildings were
leased to Imperial Bank.
The court papers indicate that
Sandview and Upperview bought
the two buildings from Imperial
Bank then leased them back to the
bank. The company owners, who
were also majority shareholders of
the bank, used the 2009 dividends
to buy the two buildings.

in Nairobi Kenyan Fatuma Zarika and Mexi-
can Yamileth Mercado on Saturday
to win the evening called such thoughts to
fight mind even as Zarika won in a 2-1
split points decision to retain her
title.
This was Zarika’s second title
defence, having outclassed former
WBC bantamweight champion
Catherine Phiri from Zambia in
December 2017 at Carnivore Res-
taurant, Nairobi.
And it was not the first time
the mother of two was fighting
since then.
Against 20-year-old Mercado,
Zarika, 34, was an overwhelming
favourite as her record before Sat-
urday’s bout read 29 wins, 12 losses
and two draws, while Mercado's
was 12-1-0.
For long term boxing lovers, the
story was about how refreshingly
different this fight was from the
other bouts in which women’s
contests were staged outside prime
time and in dingy halls before a
handful of spectators. They drew
little interest.
Saturday’s event uncharacter-
istically captured the attention of
Kenyans as occasioned by the huge
turnout at Kenyatta International
Convention Centre, the thousands
who stayed up late to follow the
action on television and social
media discussions that went on
deep into the night.
Zarika, who has previously
blasted the country's sports admin-
istrators for neglect, promoters for
their con games and fans for their
apathy, said after her victory that
she had never witnessed that kind
of support in her 15-year career.

pugilists," the world champion said.
"I want to encourage fellow box-
ers to keep pushing in spite of the
challenges.”
The story was also about how
contrasting the boxers were to
each other.
Zarika was the typical boxer of
heavy muscle build, complete with
tomboy mannerisms while Mercado
was the modern day female pugilist
who wore make-up, had her hair
done in girlish cornrows, had little
muscle and who cared little about
“looking tough” as she allowed
herself to be photographed crying
at the end of the fight.
In fact, the focus on Mercado’s
appearance prompted her to declare
before the contest that she was
“here to fight and not to model”.
“I have heard a lot of comments
from people wondering if I am the
boxer who will slug with Zarika. Let
me say this, looks can be deceiving
and Zarika knows well," she said
when the Nation paid her a visit
on Wednesday last week.
CHRIS OMOLLO | NATION
"Let them not look at my face.
That has nothing to do with what
I will do in the ring.”
Indeed, women’s boxing is not
easy to sell. It is a sport that re-
quires one to admit that she likes
aggression, relishes the taste of
combat, thrives on rage and enjoys
exchanging punches.
Boxing in general is also consid-
ered a bloodthirsty and dangerous
sport and there have been several
attempts to ban it.
Saturday’s fight, however showed
that packaged well, women’s boxing
can attract just as much interest
as men’s, societal stereotypes
notwithstanding.
Boyle Kluimper, a Germa-
ny-based promoter, said such
events help change attitudes within
and outside boxing.
"A fight like this gives women
role models as it shows them that
it is not just about getting punched
and injured. And that you do not
need to have a masculine body to
be a boxer,” he said.
The percentage of pupils attaining
more than the 50 per cent pass mark in
maths in Lamu, Isiolo, Kitui and Wajir
rose significantly over the year of the
study conducted by the Ministry of
Education through the Kenya National
Examinations Council (Knec).
In Lamu, the percentage of pupils
scoring 50 per cent and above rose
from 63 in 2016 to 81 in the latest
survey, conducted in 2017.
It was followed by Isiolo, where the
percentage rose from 74 to 92, while in
Kitui, the number of pupils attaining
the pass mark rose from 54 per cent
to 65 per cent.
Nationally, 66.7 per cent of all
Standard Two pupils scored 50 per
cent and above. Emboldened by the
study, the ministry, the Teachers Ser-
vice Commission, Knec and the Kenya
Institute for Curriculum Development
held a two-week training for 100,000
teachers in selected counties last week
to enhance their skills to raise perfor-
mance in early grade Mathematics.
Perform better
Acting Director of Project Coordi-
nation and Delivery at the ministry
Elijah Mungai said they will ensure
that all early-grade pupils are taught
mathematics skills that will enable
them to perform better.
“We are going to step up our efforts
to ensure that all primary school pupils
perform better in the critical subjects
by working with all multisectoral
partners,” he said.
In Wajir, the proportion of pupils
attaining 50 marks out of 100 rose
from 54 to 64.
The Early Grade Mathematics As-
sessment report singles out counties
like Tans Nzoia, Bungoma, Samburu
and Taita-Taveta as areas where large
percentages of pupils scored below the
50 per cent benchmark.
The study, part of the Primary
Education Development (PRIEDE)
Project, also shows that a higher per-
centage of pupils in private schools
are scoring above the average mark in
maths compared with those in public
institutions.

T
he seven-month-old foetus in
Ms Sharon Otieno’s womb may
have been the key target of her
gruesome murder last week, detectives
investigating the case believe.
Director of Criminal Investigations
George Kinoti said yesterday that the kill-
ers ensured that they stabbed the baby.
An autopsy on the second-year medi-
cal records and information student’s
body showed that she was strangled
and stabbed eight times — four on the
back, three on the neck, and once on
the left side of her abdomen — leading
to excessive bleeding.
Mr Kinoti said he has watertight ev-
idence that will lead to the successful
prosecution of those who planned and
executed the kidnapping and subsequent
killing of the former Rongo University
student.
Detectives believe a well-organised
gang headed by a godfather and compris-
ing an agent and several hitmen carefully
planned and executed the double homi-
cide that has shocked the nation.
“The godfather hatched the plan,”
said Mr Kinoti yesterday. “He is the
key person who procured the offence
and has a direct link to the agent, who
is already in our custody.” He revealed
that the agent was well connected to

the hitmen who executed the actual
kidnapping and murder of the student.
Ms Otieno was abducted on the
evening of Monday last week alongside
Nation journalist Barrack Oduor, but the
reporter managed to escape by jumping
off the kidnappers’ moving vehicle.
Mr Kinoti, responding to why it
had taken long to arrest the culprits,
said the investigation entails forensic
examination of evidence and studying
the complicated web of the underworld.
“This is an organised criminal ring
that requires careful investigation and
arrest so that we do not detain the wrong
person, and also so that those we arrest
do not jeopardise the arrests of others”
Mr Kinoti said.
Investigations have also revealed that
more people than previously thought
were involved in the abduction and
murder.
“The ring is thickening,” said Mr
Kinoti. “The probe is bringing in more
and more suspects as the days go by.
Even those involved in the remotest way
possible are as guilty as the person who
actually stabbed Ms Otieno to death.”
Officers privy to the investigation told
the Nation that the DCI has dispatched
teams to locations where key persons of
interest have been located, and that the
suspects’ movements are being moni-
tored as the police wait for directions
to arrest them systematically.
“We also have to ensure, albeit in
secrecy, that these suspects are safe,
including the one that is already in
custody, whom we believe is the man at
the centre of the whole plot,” an officer
who requested anonymity because of
the sensitivity of the matter revealed.

Let investigators find Sharon’s
killers, former husband appeals
BY VIVERE NANDIEMO
ndiemo@yahoo.com
Mr Bernard Okuta, Sharon
Otieno’s former husband, has
asked people to stop speculating
about her death and let the police
and other investigating agencies
get to the bottom of the murder.
Ms Otieno, a student at Rongo
University, was murdered and
her body dumped in a thicket in
Homa Bay last week.
Speaking to the Nation at
Rapogi High School in Uriri Sub-
county, Migori County yesterday,
Mr Okuta said he believes the
killers will be known.
Although he confirmed that Ms
Otieno was married to him, he
declined to speak about their mar-
riage, saying that the matter is too
emotive for him to comment on.
When the Nation visited the
school, Mr Okuta, a middle-aged
man about five-foot tall was
wearing shorts and busy with
the students.
He was initially hesitant to
talk to the media and only spoke
after a colleague joined him. He
was tense but calm during the
interview, which lasted less than
10 minutes.
“This matter is too emotive for
me to comment. If I wanted to
comment about it, I would have
done so long ago. I would rather
leave the matter to the police and
other investigators to find out
what happened. That is all I can
say,” Mr Okuta said.

An uncle to Ms Otieno, who did
not wish to be named for security
reasons, yesterday said some of
their friends and relatives, whom
he believes could be emissaries
for those behind the murder of his
niece, had in a clever manner been
urging them to go slow on the issue.
“Some of our friends, relatives
and even mourners have even been
asking us not to talk much about

TRAILING
A farmer, Mr Moses Ongili,
who discovered Ms Otieno’s
body is living under great fear.
He does not trust strangers
and fears that the killers could
be trailing him.
Mr Kevin Odero, who was
among the first to rush to the
scene, said he fears the killers
could be after him as he has
been seeing many strange
people around Obisa area.

He maintained that the fam-
ily spokesperson, Mr Joshua

necessary.
“What the spokesperson of the
family said about the family of the
deceased is enough. I will not say
anything. Please go and talk to the
police for more information,” he
said, then left for the staffroom.
Mr Okong’o had revealed that
Ms Otieno had been married to
Mr Okuta, and they had a son
and two daughters.
“Her husband is a high school-
teacher,” Mr Okong’o said, adding
that the couple lived in the school
compound.

behalf of individuals with vested

he said.
However, he added, they would

demanding justice for the slain

Mr Joshua Okong’o, the family's
spokesman, on Friday blamed pol-
iticians and journalists for what he
termed as blowing the issue out of
proportion.
Speaking to journalists at Ms
Otieno's home in Magare Village,
Homa Bay County, Mr Okong’o
asked the political class to stay
away from the matter.
At Samanga, the Nation met
Mr Gilbert Oyieka, a cousin to a
man (name withheld for security
purposes), who rescued Mr Oduor
after he jumped out of his abduc-
tor's vehicle.
“My cousin does not want to
be exposed. We have been seeing
vehicles stop around here probably
trying to locate him,” he said.

Four MPs to
lead demos
against killing
BY VIVERE NANDIEMO
Four Nyanza Woman representa-
tives will this week organise street
demos to demand justice for Ms
Sharon Otieno, the Rongo University
student who was abducted and killed
last week.
Ms Pamela Odhiambo (Migori),
Ms Janet Ong’era (Kisii), Ms Rosa
Buyu (Kisumu) and Ms Gladys
Wanga (Homa Bay) visited the
Otieno family in Homa Bay on
Sunday and called for speedy inves-
tigations into her death.
They said the marches would be
for women who have been victims
of violent relationships.
"Women must show their anger.
The killing of women must stop.
Why would one be killed whenever
something goes wrong in a rela-
tionship? We demand respect," Ms
Odhiambo said.
Ms Buyu called on fellow women
to take part in the street protests.
The sentiments were echoed by
her Kisii counterpart.
"I condemn the murder of this
poor young woman. Police should
leave no stone unturned. The cul-
prits and their accomplices must be
brought to book," Ms Ong’era said.
Ms Wanga said the leads to Ms
Otieno's death were clear.
"The killing should be investi-
gated fast. The main suspects are
known. We believe the Directorate
of Criminal Investigations will name
the culprits soon," the Homa Bay
lawmaker said.

said those asking to be paid back

“In politics there is no debt.
You get what you go for. If you go
for nothing, you get nothing,” said
Mr Musyoka who was speaking
at an event hosted by Nairobi
County governor Mike Sonko
to commemorate the death of
his father on Saturday evening.
Mr Musyoka was responding to
calls at the event from a number
of lawmakers allied to the Wiper
party for him to go for the top seat
in the next General election, say-
ing that it was time that he is also
supported by other politicians.
Borabu MP Ben Momanyi, a
member of Wiper, called for Mr
Odinga not to run in 2022 but

Shortage > The area has been hard hit by resignations
Governors give in to
avert doctors’ strike
The medics issued
a 21-day notice last
week to the counties
to abide by the CBA
BY MAGDALENE WANJA
mwanja@ke.nationmedia.com
F
ive South Rift counties have
moved to avert a possible
strike by doctors scheduled
to begin later this month, the
Nation has learnt.
More than 30 doctors from
Nakuru, Narok, Kericho, Bomet
and Kajiado counties have been
cleared to pursue further studies.
This follows a 21-day strike
notice by the Kenya Medical
Practitioners, Pharmacists and
Dentists Union (KMPDU) South
Rift officials last week.
According to regional KMPDU
Secretary-General Davji Atellah,
the six counties had failed to im-
plement the 2017-2021 Collective
Bargaining Agreement (CBA),
denying the doctors their study
leave and promotions.
He noted that four counties,
have cleared their doctors to pro-
ceed on study leave and promised
to promote deserving ones, apart
from Laikipia, which is yet to re-
spond. “If Laikipia County does
not respond positively within the
21 days, we shall call a strike for
all our doctors working in that
county,” said Dr Atellah.
But a statement from the
Laikipia County Government's
Communication Department
explained that it is spending ap-
proximately Sh10 million a month
on doctors and other cadres
of health sector staff sector on
study leave.
“Recently, we received 18 re-
quests from medical officers
requesting to proceed on paid
study leave. These requests have
been declined due to lack of finan-
cial and human resources in the
department,” said the statement,
adding that 12 medical officers
have since left to pursue further

studies.
The statement also explained
that the county government has
hired 20 doctors to bridge the gap
left by those on study leave.
Dr Atellah said that they will
negotiate with the county on the
matter, failing which they will call
on the medics to down their tools.
“We were hoping to have a nego-
tiation with the county because as
at now, other South Rift counties
have released doctors, for instance
Nakuru (13), Kericho (9), Bomet
(5) and Narok (3),” said Dr Atellah.
Dr Atellah further warned some
counties against sending doctors
on unpaid study leave.
“It is illegal and unethical, yet
the counties need consultants, so
there is a need to train and retain,”
he pointed out.
South Rift has more than 600
doctors, with more than 1,000 hav-
ing resigned in the past two years.
KMPDU says the resignations of
both medical officers and consult-
ant doctors have greatly affected
the delivery of health services in
some of the counties, with Nakuru
and Laikipia the hardest hit after
losing 40 and 34 staff respectively.
The medics issued the strike
notice in the wake of huge doctors

past two years.

Atlanta, Georgia
Kenya’s ambassador to the US
Robinson Githae has dismissed
reports that embassy staff in
Washington engage in corrup-
tion when issuing identity cards.
During an event in Atlanta,
Georgia on Saturday, Mr Githae
said the reports are meant to
harm the reputation of the
embassy.
“There are no facts in the
claims circulating on social
media. The information has been
manipulated to make it look like
the embassy is charging more
than what is required when
issuing the identity cards,” Mr
Githae said.
“The seemingly extra charges
are those associated with logis-
tics, especially when the exercise
takes place in different cities
and states.”
He said the embassy does not
have enough people it can send
to the cities and states.
Mr Githae was responding to
a post on social media platforms
accusing him of abetting corrup-
tion at the embassy.
According to the anonymous
post, Mr Githae through his han-
dlers charges $150 (Sh15,000)
instead of $45 (Sh4,500) for
a card.
The writer says Kenyans in
Kansas are required to raise
Sh1.6 million for the embassy
staff to travel to the city for ID
issuance on October 6 and 7 and
adds that a similar exercise in
Atlanta was mired in corruption.

Ms Mohamed assured Kenyans

“We need to endeavour to have

She expressed concern that Arid

“Collectively, the illiteracy rates

“The literacy rate in Wajir County
is between 10 — 15 percent. The
current enrolment of 1,341 males
and 1,297 females is insignificant in

“Good labour practices require

Green campaign > Agriculture hard hit by corruption
Deep-rooted graft
a big threat to food
security, Africa told
Like climate change
and crop pests,
dirty politics and
mismanagement are
hurting agriculture
sector, experts say
BY LEONARD ONYANGO
@Kakalooz
loonyango@ke.nationmedia.com
C
orruption, just like climate
change and crop pests, is
a major threat to Africa’s
dream of kicking out hunger by
2030.
Leaders and experts say "dirty"
politics and poor management of
resources are hurting the agricul-
ture sector, leading to persistent
food insecurity in the continent.
Speaking during this year’s
African Green Revolution Forum
that ended on Saturday in Kigali,
Rwanda, former US Assistant
Secretary of State for African
Affairs Jendayi Frazer (below)
said corruption in agriculture
sector and vested interests of
politicians and government of-
ficials, have serious impact on
food production.
Dr Frazer, who is also the
managing partner of Africa Ex-
change Holdings, an organisation
that supports farmers access to
markets and assists on finance
opportunities, said accountability
in agriculture sector is key for Af-
rica to eliminate perennial hunger.
“A leader gets elected today
and the following day starts
accumulating money for the
next election’s campaigns. The
few projects they implement are
meant to attract votes and not
to empower the people. Without
accountability in agricultural sec-
tor, food insecurity will persist for
decades to come,” said Dr Frazer.
Former United Kingdom Prime
Minister Tony Blair, while ad-
dressing the forum, said poor
prioritisation, improper policies
and mismanagement of resources
in agriculture sector hurt food
production in Africa.
“It is sad that millions of people
in Africa still struggle to put food
on the table despite having fertile
land,” said Mr Blair, who is also
the executive chairman of Tony
Blair Institute for Global Change.
Rockefeller Foundation presi-
dent Rajiv Shah said corruption
in agriculture sector could delay
African’s dream of achieving food
security by 2030.
“It is a fact that corruption in
agriculture sector is rampart and
it needs strong leaders to uproot
it,” said Dr Shah. He added that
if corruption is tackled properly,
agricultural production could
increase even in the face of cli-
mate change and other threats
bedevilling the sector.
DP William Ruto with Rwanda President Paul Kagame during the
African Green Revolution Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, last week.
“If farmers apply the right
fertilisers and governments use
the available resources well, food
production will improve in Africa,”
he said.

cultural Development (IFAD)

agriculture but the greatest
challenge is having them reach
the ground. Without putting the
rural community at the centre of
planning, Africa’s goal of eradi-
cating hunger in the next 12 years
might remain a dream,” said Mr
Houngbo, who is also a former
Prime Minister of Togo.
The African Union (AU,) dur-
ing its 30th Assembly of Heads
of State and Government held
early this year in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, declared 2018 the year
of fighting corruption, saying the
vice is a hindrance to sustainable
development.
The Africa Agriculture Status
Report 2018 says many countries
on the continent invest in big
projects for quick kickbacks while
neglecting small-scale farmers
who feed the population.
The report warns that African
nations will struggle to grow their
economies and eradicate poverty
unless they tie high-level political
will to government action to help
small-scale farmers.
In Kenya, corruption in ag-
riculture sector, ranging from
distribution of fake fertiliser to
importation of contraband food
products that flood the market,
adversely affect local farmers.
Agriculture PS Richard Lesi-
yampe and former National
Cereals and Produce Board
(NCPB) managing director New-

sion on Revenue Allocation (CRA)
consulted identified sub-locations within other
counties other than the initial 14 to
benefit from the billions.
This sparked a dispute among
leaders in northern Kenya who
said the expansion of the scope of
the Fund was unconstitutional and,
therefore, illegal.
The first policy identified Tur-
kana, Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit,
Samburu, West Pokot, Tana River,
Narok, Kwale, Garissa, Kilifi, Tai-
ta-Taveta, Isiolo and Lamu as
marginalised counties.
They were singled out as those
regions whose basic infrastructure
such as electricity, healthcare, roads
and water services needed lots of
investment to improve.
But in its second policy, the
commission identified 1,424 sub-lo-
cations spread across 366 wards in
34 counties as being marginalised.
Out of these sub-locations, CRA
says, the bottom 20 per cent are
where about five million Kenyans
live. The new sub-locations included
in the latest policy are in Bungoma,
Elgeyo-Marakwet, Homa Bay,
Kajiado, Kericho, Kisumu, Kitui,
Laikipia, Machakos and Migori.
Others are spread within Mu-
rang’a, Nakuru, Nandi, Siaya,
Tharaka-Nithi, Meru and Bomet.
According to CRA, 1,010 sub-lo-
cations in 11 counties will share 77.3
per cent of the Equalisation Fund.

Equalisation fund
WHAT IS IT FOR?
The Equalisation Fund
is established under the
Constitution as 0.5 per cent
of all revenue collected by the
national government every
year, calculated on the basis
of the most recent audited
accounts of revenue received,
as approved by the National
Assembly.
The money is earmarked for
the provision of basic services
such as water, roads, health
facilities and electricity.
The fund was initially a
preserve of frontier counties
termed as marginalised.
The remaining 22.7 per cent will be
shared among 23 counties.

Semi-arid conference in Malindi,
National Assembly Majority Leader
BY LUCY MKANYIKA
Taita-Taveta County leaders
are planning to petition President
Uhuru Kenyatta and the Senate
to have the Tsavo National Park
converted into a game reserve.
Members of the County As-
sembly (MCAs) are scheduled to
meet Governor Granton Samboja
today to draft a petition to be
presented to both the President
and the Senate.
The move comes after the
governor told the Senate’s Public
Accounts and Investment Com-
mittee that his government will
fight for a share of the park’s
revenue when appeared before it
to defend the county's spending
for the 2015/16 financial year.
The county leadership and the
government have never agreed on
sharing the revenue from Tsavo
East and West national parks.
Led by Mr Samboja, they have
been complaining that they do
not benefit from the expansive
park, yet it occupies 63 per cent
Aden Duale said they will also seek
redress at the Supreme Court.
But CRA boss Jane Kiringai said
that focus had shifted from identi-
fication of marginalised counties to
marginalised areas, guided by the
smallest administrative unit for
which data is available.
“This meant that deprived areas
in otherwise well-developed coun-
ties had a chance of being identified
as marginalised. Similarly, devel-
oped areas in poor counties would
be excluded from consideration,”
she said of the second policy.
Frontier Counties Development
Council (FCDC) CEO Simba
Guleid argues that while widening
the scope of the fund will yield
better results in tackling poverty
in the whole country, the fund was
intended to bring arid counties at
par with other parts of the country.
He observed that until recently,
areas where marginalised com-
munities are found had remained
largely ignored as having a hostile,
unbearable environment and a
of their county.
Speaking to the Nation on
phone, Kaloleni MCA Ahmed
Omar said once drafted, the pe-
tition will be subjected to public
participation, with residents
expected to give their input and
append their signatures.
Mr Omar said the signed docu-
ment will then be presented to the
county Assembly for adoption.
He said the petition will there-
after be presented to President
Kenyatta and the Senate.
“This is long overdue. We have
not benefited from the park.
Instead, it has inflicted pain and
losses on us,” he said.
Mr Omar said the MCAs, who
are in recess, are planning to meet
all the county leaders, including
Senator Jones Mwaruma and all
members of Parliament.
“However, we are not involving
them now. We will do so at an
advanced stage for them to push
the dialogue at the national level,”
he said.

This was compounded by the
total absence of infrastructure and
social welfare facilities that other
parts of the country enjoy.
“The Equalisation Fund was a
levelling fund meant to help these
counties be at par with the rest
of Kenya. As FCDC, we are not
against the protection of other
poor parts of Kenya but what we
are questioning is the process of ar-
riving at this decision as it was not
conclusively consultative,” he said.
Mr Guleid said this week, the
bloc has invited Dr Kiringai for
a meeting in West Pokot where
they will be seeking assurances
from CRA that in the future, such
important decisions on the Fund

fight for the county's resources.
He said local residents have
been killed and their property
destroyed by wildlife that escape
from the park, and accused the
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) of
not tackling the wildlife menace
speedily, saying that is tanta-
mount to adding insult to injure.
“My people cannot be sand-
wiched by two national parks
and not get a penny from the
proceeds,” he said.
The county has been work-
ing towards raising its revenue
streams and to stop relying on
funds from the national govern-
ment to sustain its activities.
“We want the park to be turned
into a game reserve so that the
revenue collected from the park
goes to the people,” Mr Samboja
said.
“As we speak, my people get
nothing, not even any form of
appreciation that sometimes
comes from corporate social
responsibility by KWS,” he said.

Police lose
10 acres to

BY MARY WAMBUI
Over 10 acres of land belonging to
Makongeni Police Station in Kiambu

velopers, according to area residents.
The local community policing
committee is now calling on the
Director of Criminal Investigations,
Mr George Kinoti, and the Inspector
General of Police, Mr Joseph Boinet,
to investigate the matter and co-opt
the National Lands Commission in en-
suring the return of the grabbed land.
Makongeni police station, located
along the Thika-Garissa highway,
serves over 200,000 residents of
the vast Makongeni, Landless, Kisii,
Majengo and Gachagi slums as well
as the busy road that connects Nairobi
to Garissa county.
According to community policing
committee chairman, Mr Paul Jomo,
land grabbers started encroaching
onto the land in the early 1990s claim-
ing that they had been allotted plots
in the area. He added that the original
encroachers sold off their plots to
clueless buyers while others opted to
have fake title deeds produced.
Some of the alleged grabbers in-
clude politicians, businessmen and
the defunct municipal staff who built
residential houses, rental apartments
and a fuel station. Currently, the police
station has no room for expansion.
Currently reduced to less than an
acre, the compound is barely enough
to accommodate the police station
and four staff houses, which are not
enough for all the officers.

TSC-Knut fights bad

for education sector
W
hen we thought the Teachers Service Commission and
the Kenya National Union of Teachers had entered a pact
to work together to collectively deal with staffing and
stabilise the education sector, they are back in the trenches with
daggers drawn. Mistrust and suspicion persists between the two
agencies and, clearly, there is a fundamental problem here that
must be addressed.
The TSC has the mandate over teacher management while Knut
handles welfare. They serve the same people and, in organised sys-
tems, as much as they disagree, they ought to have commonalities
on matters of policy and execution. But they seem to thrive on
conflict rather than coexistence. This is disruptive to the educa-
tion sector, which is the reason we revisit the matter and call for
cessation of hostilities.
The current dispute is centred on the following: Transfer of
teachers from their localities; promotions; in-servicing of teachers
under what is called teachers professional development (TPD);
and job appraisal. We have argued before that these issues can
be negotiated and resolved but only in an environment of trust
and goodwill.
For example, the TSC has expressly pronounced itself on the
reason for the transfers and, administratively, there is nothing un-
toward about it. But Knut claims that they are done in an inhumane
and haphazard manner that inflicts pain on teachers rather than
resolve staffing challenges. The facts are easily reconcilable; why
must it take blood to arrive at an amicable resolution?
Some two weeks ago, the TSC and Knut met and set up a com- JUSTICE
mittee to discuss and make recommendations on the controversial

issues and submit a report within a given time-frame. But hardly
had the ink dried on the deal than they began pulling apart and
tearing into each other, demonstrating there was no goodwill. One
wonders whether that committee can tackle the issues with sincerity.
Teachers are busy preparing candidates for national exami-
nations, which are due in a few weeks. Non-examination classes
have a fairly shorter period and there is a race to complete the
syllabus. It is a busy term and peace and stability are paramount.
So, the discordant voices from the TSC and Knut are creating a
sense of restiveness.

Rule of law
Summary execution is
not the way to deal with
the problem. Increased
intelligence, surveillance and
adherence to human rights is
crucial in fighting terrorism.
The essence of a democracy
is to ensure that the rule of

those in whose hands national

that due process does not

China in Africa need not make
West hysterical, we’re benefiting
F
ifty of Africa’s 55 leaders
attended the Forum on
China-Africa Cooperation
(FOCAC) in Beijing last week.
Chinese President Xi Jinping
presented a development
framework built around eight
initiatives: Industrial promotion,
infrastructure connectivity,
trade facilitation, green
development, capacity building,
healthcare, people-to-people
exchanges, and peace and
security. He also announced
$60 billion (Sh6 trillion)
financing for Africa. Aid would
peak $5 billion a year.
China also pledged to support
Africa in achieving food security
by 2030, expand exchanges
and cooperation in addressing
climate change and create a
joint peace and security fund.
And there was, of course,
China’s Belt and Road Initiative
(BRI) — the most ambitious
global infrastructure project
in history that involves 76
countries in Asia, Africa and
Europe. Beijing suggested, quite
reasonably, to formally link
BRI with Africa’s continental
infrastructure vision.
Concerned by China’s
growing economic and political
influence in Africa, Western
leaders have increasingly
attempted to create doubt and
misinformation regarding its
true intention. They question,
for instance, the economic
value and financial viability of
Chinese-led projects, terming
them as unnecessary, wasteful,
predatory and debt traps that
would inherently plunge the

Chief Kadhi was right on Eid Ul Adha fete
D
ebate on when Kenyan
Muslims were to mark
this year’s Eid Ul
Adha dominated the national
discourse. Some argued that
the Chief Kadhi, Sheikh Ahmed
Mohdhar, had erred in advising
Muslims to ignore the gazetted
date by Interior Cabinet
Secretary Fred Matiang’i.
The Chief Kadhi reiterated
that he had written to Dr
Matiang’i informing him
that, according to the Islamic
jurisprudence, Kenyans had
sighted the crescent moon on
Sunday, August 12; hence, the
first day of Dhul Hijjah was
Monday, August 13. Dhul Hijja is
the third month after Ramadhan
and, by the Islamic calendar, the
last of the year.
Nevertheless, the CS declared
August 21 a public holiday.
Eid Ul Adha (Feast of
Sacrifice) is marked on
the 10th day of Dhul Hijja
through morning prayers and,
thereafter, slaughtering of an
animal — preferably a lamb —

it was Isaac while Muslims
are taught that it was Ismail).

Others allege African leaders
were being hoodwinked into
financial commitments for
transport infrastructure that are
designed to promote Chinese
appropriation and extraction
of the continent’s minerals and
hydrocarbons. They say, quite
wrongly, that Chinese activities
have not created jobs.
I do not believe that there
are nefarious reasons behind
China’s goodwill. To the
contrary, China appears to
genuinely want to share its
experiences and enter mutually
beneficial arrangements with
other developing countries.
Economic growth is
determined by accumulation
of factors of production —
principally capital, labour and
technology. Africa’s labour stock
is in abundance and growing in
number, skillsets and capacity;
capital and technology are in
short supply yet abundant in
Europe and North America.
Attract capital and technology
For Africa’s economies to
grow, they must attract capital
and technology. But capital flow
into Africa has been dismal,
elusive and erratic, undermined
by illicit financial flows
estimated at $50 billion a year.
For more than five decades,
the West has been either
unwilling or reluctant to meet
Africa’s capital and technology
needs. There has been

Western leaders

regarding China’s true
intention.”
China has growing financial
and economic footprints in
all corners of the world. The
performance of Africa’s fastest-
growing economies can be
directly linked to increased
inflow of Chinese development
finance, investment and trade.
This is noteworthy for some
of these economies — Kenya,
Ethiopia, Cote d’Ivoire and
Rwanda — are largely resource-
poor. With Chinese assistance,
they are ably demonstrating
that economic prosperity is
not always tied to natural
resources. Africa’s near-
universal preference for Chinese
investment and development
finance is a matter of common
Ahmad (H.2653) and Dar-qutni
(H.2234) — all have Kurayb
narrating that he was sent
by Ibn Abbas in Medina to
Mu’awiyah, who was in Sham.
While there, they saw the moon
for the beginning of Ramadhan.
Kurayb narrates: “Ibn Abbas
asked me about the moon. I
said: 'We saw the moon the
night of Friday.' He asked, 'Did
you see it as well?' I said: 'Yes, I
saw it too and many others saw
it and we all kept fasting and so
did Mu’awiyah.'
“Ibn Abbas said: 'But we saw
the moon on Saturday night,
therefore, we will keep fasting
for 30 days according to that,
unless we sight the moon on the
29th.' I asked: 'You don’t think
the moonsighting of Mu’awiyah
and his fasting is enough for
you?' Ibn Abbas replied: 'No,
this is how the Blessed Prophet
taught us.’”
During his farewell speech,
the Prophet said to Muslims to
hold fast onto the Quran and
Sunnah (His teachings). What
the Chief Kadhi did was to
strictly adhere to the teachings
— to follow the sighting of the
crescent moon in their region.
sense. The assistance, which
consists mostly of export
credits and minimal- or zero-
interest loans for infrastructure
is fast, flexible, demand-
responsive and comes with no
strings attached. Projects are
often undertaken by efficient
State-owned enterprises.
Chinese low-cost technologies
are affordable, accessible,
relevant and practical. Indeed,
China faces the same problems
as much of Africa, where the
more advanced economies offer
no meaningful solutions.
Africa has become assertive
and can no longer tolerate the
belligerent, demeaning and
patronising attitude of the West.
China adopts an affable and
respectable stance towards its
partners, promoting friendship
and win-win cooperation
with commercial and trade
diplomacy. But it is, perhaps,
China’s long-standing respect
for the sovereignty of Africa,
and non-interference in its
internal affairs, that is most
significant.
Africa has little choice but
to finance it development
through external debt. It
must either take advantage
of Chinese funding or listen
to the naysayers, stay on the
sidelines and remain poor. But
it must guard against wastage,
misguided priorities and
corruption.

Logically, the whole world
cannot observe certain events
on the same day. Even in
Kenya, Muslims break their fast
according to their location. The
Prophet said that even in the
same region, if due to clouds the
crescent moon is not sighted in
an area, only those who see it
are allowed to observe the day.
Chief Kadhis all over the
world advise Muslims on,
among other things, sighting
of the moon and it has been
so in Kenya — with or without
the Constitution stating so.
What our politicians propose is
neither in the Quran nor hadith.
Unity in Islam envisioned
in Quran 3:103, that Muslims
should hold together and not
be divided, is not about when
they mark Eid. Their utterances,
therefore, should be disregarded
by anyone who cares to
understand how Muslims decide
on when to fast, end the fast or
mark an Islamic event.

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
‘SHODDY’ PROBE. Some animals are, indeed,
more equal than others, says Stephen Masambu, not
at all impressed with the investigations into the recent
murder of university student Sharon Otieno. He adds:
“This cannot be overemphasised and, more so, in con-
nection with the death of Sharon and the attempted
murder of former Garissa County finance officer
Mukhtar Idris.” While it’s “obvious that the principal
suspects are known, they continue to be referred to
only 'persons of interest' by investigating authorities’’.
His contact is masambus@yahoo.com.
LAND LEASE. Christopher Karitu says he was
dismayed to learn in the media that multinational Del
Monte’s land leases have been renewed by the Kiambu
County government for another 99 years, faulting
Governor Ferdinand Waititu, the man popularly re-
ferred to as ‘Baba Yao’. Dr Karitu adds: “I feel that this
is not fair to the people of Kiambu. The leases should
be renewed for maximum 30 to 50 years. This way, it
will allow proper replanning for the future use of the
land, considering the changing needs and priorities in
the county.” His contact is vetkaritu@yahoo.com.
M-PESA COST. With the increasing popularity of
mobile money transfers, Henry Kibet is alarmed that,
instead of making it easier for many people to enjoy
the service, it’s getting tougher. Says he: “Safaricom
should review its charges on M-Pesa transactions.
Sending Sh1,000 costs Sh15, and then the shocker:
Sh1,501 costs Sh41 and from 20,001 up to Sh70,000, it
is Sh110. The withdrawal cost is the same for Sh101 and
Sh2,500. What a great discrepancy! Why not spread
the charges so that you don't punish those dealing
with little money?” His contact is hkibett@yahoo.com.
BUS ‘TRANSFER’. Kenya Bus Services has always
been a decent commuter service, with tickets issued to
commuters, says Lawrence Mumo. But on September
9, Lawrence adds, he had a nasty encounter he will
not forget soon. After paying Sh60 for a ride on the
Mombasa Road route through Tassia and Embakasi
East, they were transferred to an Embassava minibus
at the Airgate Mall, though they had paid their fare for
the full journey. No explanation was given for that and
Lawrence hopes to hear from the management soon.

RITUAL LITTERERS. On August 29, on Magadi
Road, while heading to Ongata Rongai, Lucia Waithira
reports, the driver of a car, KBW 8... just drove on as
his passengers threw litter through the windows. They
left a trail all the way from Petrocity to Bangladesh,
hurling pieces of paper and bottles — “and they had
quite a load of trash”. She just wondered whether they
were in a “marking territory” ritual. Can such litterers
be made to do community service as penance? won-

S
eptember 8 was declared
the International Literacy
Day by UNESCO on
October 26, 1966, in its 14th
session of general conference,
and celebrated for the first time
in 1967.
The day emphasises the
importance of literacy and access
to information to individuals,
communities and societies.
Having celebrated this year’s
ILD on Saturday, it’s important
to understand the link between
libraries and literacy. The day
is, indeed, the best opportunity
for governments and other
institutions to reflect on the
challenges that hinder access to
basic information.
Literacy has traditionally
been thought of as reading and
writing but it encompasses
more. It is the ability, confidence
and willingness to engage with
information to acquire, construct
and communicate meaning in all
aspects.
What is the place of libraries
in this Information Age, and
what’s their role in sustainable
development?
Developed countries refer
libraries as organisations that
offer a platform to access
information for education,
research, general reading and for
leisure.
Institutions tagged “libraries”
are synonymous with education
and offer countless learning
opportunities that fuel economic
and socio-cultural development.
Libraries, particularly in
developing and under-developed
nations, face many challenges
Deporting Chinese man who insulted Kenyans, President not enough
I watched in wrath a video
that went viral of a Chinese
man insulting Kenyans. It was
demeaning and dehumanising
for him to be so disrespectful to
President Uhuru Kenyatta and
the citizens.
Sadly, Third World countries
are the most affected by the
words and gestures of racism.
It has always been said and
written that Africa is the cradle
of mankind, yet the first and
second world countries consider
us as beggars and illiterate
people. The Chinese have won

as governments struggle to
understand and document the
role they play in schools.
Studies in all areas of
information science have
suggested loopholes hindering
growth and development of
school libraries.
In Kenya, for example, there is
no known national information
policy that requires primary
and secondary schools to have
libraries. The responsibility is left
to school administrations to build
libraries and employ librarians.
There is a need to identify the
need for libraries in schools and
try to have one for each school.
Years back, libraries were
misidentified as repositories
for dusty books but today’s
libraries are actually cutting-edge
information hubs designed to
mega tenders in our country and
other African countries. China
has become our friend in need.
But their dominance in these
projects has made them become
too comfortable and, sometimes,
rude to Africans.
There was a time when African
workers were barred from
accessing sites in their countries
that were preserved for Chinese
workers simply because of the
colour of their skin. That was
wrong and unacceptable. For the

help people get the resources,
materials and connections that
users need, whether for work,
school, leisure or any other
connected purpose.
As Kenya implements a new
education system, it is important
to see libraries as the drivers and
platforms that promote literacy.
Information access needs to
be prioritised in primary and
secondary schools by promoting
libraries and equipping
information professionals with
training and knowledge to enable
them to interact with digital
information and disseminate it to
the users promptly.
Governments should start
enacting laws and adopting
policies that promote literacy and
information retrieval skills.

TEACHER TRAINING: Quality
education is important for every student.
However, that does not mean we should
rigidly stick to the C entry grade for
those joining primary teacher training
colleges. I think the students who got
D+ in the past two years in KCSE exam
are more qualified to undertake the
training compared to those who got a
C three years ago. Therefore, I echo the
government’s decision to lower the entry
grade for the colleges.

FUEL TAX: Imposing VAT on fuel
is further burdening the common

devise other means to raise revenue,
including sealing loopholes by the

Ports Authority to ensure tax evaders
are reined in and putting a ceiling on
borrowing. The government cannot
account for close to Sh400 billion
every financial year through corruption.

eaders from areas bordering
Mt Kenya forest where dis-
connection of water intakes
is ongoing are set to meet Water
and Environment Cabinet Secretar-
ies tomorrow as pressure mounts
on the government to rescind the
directive.
The Kenya Forest Service (KFS)
officers have been working round
the clock to destroy more than
600 legal and illegal intakes in the
water towers leaving hundreds of
thousands of homes without water.
Residents of Kabaru and Thegu
in Nyeri, Timau and Marimba in
Meru, Nanyuki in Laikipia, Kam-
weti in Kirinyaga and Magacha
in Embu have been hard hit due
to their direct dependency on the
intakes for water. In Meru, 235
water intakes were disconnected
while more than 130 in Nyeri and
20 in Laikipia have been affected.
Speaking to the Nation, National

Committee chairman, Kareke
Mbiuki, said MPs, governors and
senators from the affected areas
will be meeting Keriako Tobiko
(Environment) and Simon Chelu-
gui (Water) to resolve the crisis.
The Maara MP said it was wrong
to demolish all intakes without
considering those with the licenses.
He said the ministry should have
asked the managers of the intakes
to provide licenses from Water
Resources Management Authority
(Warma) and KFS before embark-

Water crisis deepens amid leadership wrangles
BY NDUNGU GACHANE
Water consumers in Murang’a County are at
crossroads on whether to pay their bills after
Governor Mwangi WA Iria stopped payments
until the county government provides new
water accounts.
The water companies have defied Mr WA
Iria’s directives’ and have been sending text
messages on pending bills. The county gov-
ernment has been running a paid up advert on
local radio stations besides sending bulk text
messages urging residents not to pay money
to the water companies.
The text messages by the county government
reads “Serikali ya Murang’a inawajulisha ku-
tolipa pesa za maji mpaka itoe idhini na ipeane
akaunti mpya. Usikubali maji ikatwe, ikikatwa
piga 0745438947 irudishwe.” (The county gov-
ernment of Murang’a informs you not to pay
water bills until it authorises and announces
new accounts. Don’t allow your water to be
disconnected and if it is disconnected, call
0745438947 for reconnection).
“We don’t know what to do, the governor has
asked us not to pay but the water companies
have issued a deadline to clear the bills,” Mr
Onesmus Mugo told the Nation. He urged both
players to settle their differences as continued
wrangles would hurt the water sector. Murang’a
Water and Sewerage company (Muwasco)
chairman Peter Munga and governor WA Iria
have been engaged in supremacy battles.
The Embu County government is set to form a tea
development board, which will spearhead sale of the
produce in the region. Governor Martin Wambora
said the board’s mandate will be above that of the
Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA), and
private tea buyers will be freely allowed to buy tea
in the area. Speaking in Embu town after touring
various processing factories, the governor said he
wanted to liberate the sector so that tea farmers can
reap maximum benefits. He said he had kicked off a
drive to encourage farmers to embrace value addition
ventures by creating various farm produce processing
units and creating an enabling atmosphere for them
to thrive.

S
outh Rift leaders have protested
against the planned takeover
of two tea farms within Bomet
and Kericho counties in the ongoing
effort by Kenya Forest Service (KFS)
to reclaim Maasai Mau forest.
This comes in the wake of the move
by KFS which, two weeks ago, asked
Bomet County to surrender it's 247-
acre Embomos tea farm in Konoin
Sub-County and another owned by
Sinendet Tea Co-operative Society
of Kericho.
Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso and
her Kericho counterpart, Prof Paul
Chepkwony, joined forces with Sena-
tor Christopher Langat of Bomet and
Aaron Cheruiyot (Kericho), Ainamoi
MP Sylvannus Maritim and Kericho
County Woman Representative Flor-
ence Bore, and vowed to battle to the
end to protect the establishments
from being reclaimed by the national
government.
Speaking during the pass-out of en-
forcement officers in Kericho County,
Dr Laboso received the backing of the
leaders who dispelled claims by KFS
that the farm was once part of the water
tower. She reiterated that they have a
title deed issued to them in 1994.
“We all know the history of Embo-
mos. When we were a large region, we
shared Kabianga Tea Farm. But after
the creation of Bomet district, you
(Kericho) helped us put up Embomos
as compensation. It was properly ga-
zetted and titled procedurally. There
is no forest in Embomos, forget about
it,” said Dr Laboso.
Governor Chepkwony said the
government should stop antagonising
Chepkwony, while asking the govern-
ment to stop undertakings that could
fan animosity among communities.
Senator Langat said if the current
government’s legacy must be respected
in future, it should respect the legacies
of others which came before them
He was referring to the issuance of
a title deed and 999-year lease (now
99) given to Embomos farm during
President Daniel Moi’s reign, and
which the Jubilee government now
seeks to invalidate.
“The claim that Embomos, which
has a title deed that should last for 999
years, is to be revoked is ridiculous.
I want to tell them that if you touch
Embomos, you will have touched the
hearts of Bomet residents. You will only
take it over our dead bodies,” said Dr
Langat, adding that the government
must respect legal documents given
by previous administrations.

Keriako Tobiko also came under fire
for allegedly taking political sides and

Ethiopia welcomes New Year 2011 with calls for unity
ADDIS ABABA, Sunday
As Ethiopians continue with
the week-long celebrations wel-
coming the Ethiopian New Year,
calls for unity and togetherness
are being echoed by the various
sections of the Ethiopian society.
The Ethiopian New Year, or
Enkutatash in Amharic language,
falls on September 11 (or Sep-
tember 12 during a leap year),
as the East African nation uses
a unique calendar that counts its
year seven to eight years behind
the Gregorian calendar.
Presently the country is cele-
brating the arrival of 2011, which
will fall on September 11. Amid
the start of the celebrations ear-
lier this week, Ethiopian officials
as well as religious leaders called
on various sections of the Ethio-
pian society to uphold values of
unity and togetherness.
Embarked on togetherness
The latest call was issued
by the Ethiopian Government
Communications Affairs Office
(GCAO), which on Saturday
stressed that as the East African
country embarked on together-
ness and unity more than ever,
the wider public should envisage
on further upholding such values
towards the country's socioeco-
nomic development.

company operates a professional
sorting outfit. A few dozen women
will be waiting to sort it. The com-
pany has about 60 people working
on the Banana site and 200 staff in
total. The sorters do about 500kgs
of trash a day each.
Paffenholz has managed to build
a sustainable business model out of
trash that ensures the environment
also benefits. The sorting sites are
licensed by National Environment
Management Authority (NEMA).
At least 1 per cent of the 4,000
tonnes of solid waste collected in the
city everyday ends up at the two
locations sitting on three quarters
and six acres at the Kangemi and
Banana sites respectively. There
are plans to establish another
such site in Thogoto most likely
in the next few months, as the
business expands.
Back at the Banana establish-
ment, rows of massive tables
hanging with about 20 different
sacks on the sides, are swarmed
with all manner of things. At the
tables, women, who are majority of
the employees here, each go through
the contents on their tables sorting
masterfully and swiftly and throwing
the different fractions: paper, plastic,
metal, glass, et cetera, et cetera, in
their designated sacks.
In another gigantic sack, in goes
all the food scraps and other organic
materials that can be decomposed.
These will end up at one extreme
corner of the grounds where they
will be composted to produce or-
ganic fertiliser.
About 10 per cent of the organic
waste is bought by pig farmers while
90 per cent is taken through the
composting process and is sold to
farmers as organic fertiliser.
Organic waste — which is the
vast majority of the total garbage
collected — constitutes about 60 to
65 per cent of the 40 to 45 tonnes
of waste stream that ends up here
daily. Yet for every five tonnes of
organic waste he gets one tonne of
compost at the end.
Paffenholz notes, “A 50kg bag of
organic fertiliser goes for Sh750.
The moneymaking is yet to happen
on that side of the business.”
The recyclable materials that are
left are exhaustively sorted to get all
that can be got out of them. “We are
able to recycle about 95 per cent of
the waste, which is quite impressive.
It’s just about 5 per cent of the frac-
tions that we have been disposing
at landfills,” says Paffenholz, as he
gives us a tour of the site.
In comparison, the recycling
rate anywhere else in the country
is about 5 per cent. In fact, most
of the waste, particularly in low
income settlements, does not get
collected at all.
Material recovery mostly

mal sector. It is characterised by a
cherry-picking exercise mainly left
to poor people, who make a living by
material recovery in an unorganised
manner. They pick some re-usable
waste fractions 'at source, turn-boys
of the garbage pick-up trucks who
pick the quick, easy to sell items
like cardboards and plastics from
collection trucks, scavengers at
dumpsites' (often under un-human
work conditions).
This is how the company that
collects 1 per cent of Nairobi’s waste
is keeping the city clean by ensuring
that the trash it collects does not
find itself trashed back in the envi-
ronment. According to Paffenholz,
the future of waste management is
in reducing what ends up in landfills
by recycling most of what can be
recycled before disposal.
Yet Paffenholz thinks they have
barely scratched the surface. “This
is nothing considering we don’t
even cover 1 per cent of the waste
generated.”
“What we are trying to do is
to do something better than the
dumpsites. Most waste is disposed
of at the main dumpsites of Dan-
dora, Kayole or Ngong. This is
the standard operating model of
pretty much all waste companies
in the city. There had to be an al-
ternative,” says the ardent advocate
for recycling and reuse. Paffenholz
says he decided to make a go at
the trash business after coming of
age and realising how unsafely the
community he lived in Mombasa
dealt with trash. In 2011, when he
returned into the country from the
UK where he had gone for further
education, the journey to turn waste
into resourceful materials started
in earnest.
But the Kenyan-German admits
that when he started, he did not
visualise the waste regenerative
enterprise that TakaTaka solutions
has morphed into today.
Recognising that landfills pollute
soils, groundwater and air, he says
the implications of emptying their
trash at the Dandora landfill, became
apparent after joining the business.
And in future, as the city’s popula-
tion grows, according to Paffenholz
"closing the loops" for municipal
solid waste management alone
would mean successfully tackling

turing into areas of recycling that
others have stayed away from like
glass and styrofoam.
“Things like paper and plastic
are profitable to recycle,” he notes,
“but glass rarely, if ever, is profit-
able. Same for styrofoam.”
An employee on the grounds
tells us the material stacked up
high to the ceiling in the back, tak-
ing about half of the storage on the
grounds is styrofoam. Apparently
no recycler exists in Kenya yet for
the material that is very common
in insulation packaging.
“Because it is harder to recycle
nobody really comes for it so we
have to get equipment ourselves to
recycle. So we are bringing in a ma-
chinery that will crush it compact
it and make construction-building
blocks out of it,” says Paffenholz,
25
who admits that they don’t know
yet whether a market for these
kinds of bricks exists in Kenya,
only that a way must be found to
get rid of the stacks. He estimates
that they have almost 50 trucks of
styrofoam in stock. But he says
other than dispose it, and leave
the environment to deal with it,
he is willing to take the chance,
“for the sake of the environment.”
On the whole, Paffenholz says
the company is building its own
recycling capacity to ensure that
all or most of the trash is dealt
with and does not find its way
back into the environment.
For now, the company is only
sorting and processing its own
waste. However, its CEO says
they would charge USD7.5 per
ton (Sh750) for any outside waste
collection companies who wanted
to take their trash to TakaTaka
Solutions’ sites. For city garbage
collectors to dump their waste at
Dandora they pay Sh500 a tonne
or Sh2,000 for a 4-tonne truck.
“But, before we can take an-
ybody else’s waste, we need to
become more efficient …. get
better at sorting and recycling,”
he says.
Asked why he is investing
millions of shillings in the extra
processes when he could just sim-
ply deposit the trash at a landfill
like everybody else, he says, “It is
always cheaper to just dump the
waste we collect somewhere and
forget about it rather than build a
site like this one, transport it here
and employ people to sort. This is
an expensive undertaking on the
whole, but it makes not only more
economic sense in the long-term,
but it also reduced the overall
environmental costs”.
Even after all the work, in the
past the company has sometimes
given out recovered materials for
free. “Because we know it will
not end up in the environment
as a pollutant. It makes more en-
vironmental and economic sense
if everything is recycled,” says
Paffenholz.
In the past, TakaTaka Solutions
was the one looking for clients but
today the clients, mostly inspired
by the environmental conscious-
ness of the way in which they
handle the waste, come knocking
at their door. Kenya lacks efficient
waste collection and disposal
systems. Takataka Solutions’ sites
readily demonstrates that efficient
waste management is possible if
only there were deliberate efforts
by counties to tackle the waste
menace. “All trash should go to
professional sorting sites where we
can get a lot more and do more for
the environment,” he says.
In his analysis, Nairobi could
save up to 95 per cent of the space
it is currently using at the Dandora
site if it adopted the kind of stra-
tegic waste management scheme
he has employed.
Asked if it is a challenge he
would be willing to take, he says
“yes”, but adds, “although that
would require well thought-out
partnerships with the counties
and other waste collectors.”

ROSES & THORNS: A THRIVING RELATIONSHIP IS MARKED BY HONESTY, SELFLESSNESS AND RESPONSIBILITY, AS WELL AS COMMITMENT TO ONE’S PARTNER
Find out and deal with
reasons behind insults
Hi Kitoto,
I am a 30-year-old man. My wife
left our matrimonial home after
a domestic argument and went
back to her parents’ home. Our
differences stem from the fact that
my wife is disrespectful of me and
insults me openly. To make matters
worse, I suspect that she has been
having an affair with other men,
and even our watchman. We have
a two-year-old child. I still love my
wife very much, and she says she
loves me as well and would want
to come back home. My problem
is that I am conflicted and I am not
sure of her real intentions. Should I
take her back? Please help.
Hi,
There are several issues that you
may first need to clarify and deal
with if your marriage is going to
offer you the happiness you intend
for both of you.
First of all, you have to deal with
the issue of your wife’s abusive nature.
You must find out the real reasons
behind her insults. In most cases,
a partner’s abusive tendencies are
caused by certain triggers which must
be identified and dealt with.
Find her emotional triggers and
deal with them. This is the only way
you will be able to live in peace. If the
things you do or the way you deal with
her is the trigger, then you may need
to find other ways of relating with her.
Secondly, it is clear from your
confession that your wife has no
respect for you. The real issue, in
such a scenario, is to find out why
your spouse does not respect you.
Most spouses lose respect for their
partners when one chooses to be
judgmental and critical of the other.
Praise and affirmation cement a
relationship while criticism divides
and builds animosity. One only feels
a sense of respect for another when
the gesture is reciprocated.
When one spouse appears to feel
superior to their significant other, it
often results in pride and arrogance
on their part and elicits a negative
reaction from their partner.
Value is hidden in the words we
speak and actions we show to our
spouse. This is what increases the
level of responsibility.
Lacking personal responsibility
is the result of one feeling left out,
demeaned, or unfairly treated. If
your wife feels unfairly treated and
ignored, then she will seek attention
elsewhere.
Thirdly, you have mentioned
that you suspect unfaithfulness. In
a relationship where connection is
lost, be it through such issues as the
ones described above, one or both
partners are bound to seek attention
elsewhere.
It is your duty to look for and seal
these loopholes. No one understands
the dynamics of your marriage better
than yourself. You must, therefore,
work hard at unearthing the underly-
ing issues and look for ways to bridge
the gaps created.
Can she come back to you? Of
RELATIONSHIPS
course she can. The choice is yours.
However, what you opt to do with the
issues that are standing in the way
is the key to the future you desire to
see. There is need for you to embrace
values that lead to healthy living in a
relationship.
Respect each other’s feel-
ings and viewpoints on issues
Be mindful of each oth-
er’s opinions, likes and dislikes
Build a healthy camaraderie as you
move toward making joint decisions
Phillip on key issues.
Be open and frank on is-
Kitoto sues that border on disrespect
Be deliberate and intentional in
investing in each other rather that
making demands all the time.
Learn to be accommodative and un-
derstanding when it comes to issues
on which you stand on opposing sides
Carefully choose the battles to
fight.
Not every battle is bene-
ficial to the relationship
Take personal responsibility
for shortcomings and mistakes.
Learn to not only value each
other but treat each other better
than you treat yourselves.
Affirm each other as you look
for ways to cover each other’s
weak areas instead of exposing
and celebrating them for personal
advantage.
SORT OUT YOUR
ISSUES BEFORE
TAKING HER BACK
Hi,
I am 25-year-old man and broke
up with my girlfriend 10 months ago
after a domestic tiff. It has taken
the break-up for me to realise just
how much this lady means to me.
I have begged for her forgiveness
and, last week, she accepted my
apology but on certain conditions.
She says that she still has feelings
for me but I need to give her time
to sort things out on her side.
My question is; will this really
work? I love her very much
and have not found the space
to love another girl since she left.

appears to feel superior

arrogance on their part and

Hi
It is amazing how we never see
the value of the people we love until
that person is removed from us per-
manently or temporarily as a result
of some issue. Sadly, as quickly
as we fall in love, the same may
happen when it comes to breaking
a relationship. Many great relation-
ships may end up breaking due to
unresolved issues, being ungrateful,
or refusing to acknowledge the inad-
equacies that exist. Accepting that
weaknesses exist opens the door to
joint efforts to look for solutions.
The two of you got into some
argument that made you separate.
Nothing is unfixable. However, you
must: 1) Accept that something
went wrong leading you to break
up; 2) Identify the specific issues
that caused the arguments; 3) Ac-
knowledge the impact and damage
that the arguments had on the re-
lationship; 4) List down the issues
and identify what it will take to fix
the dent caused by the argument.
Love is a choice and should be
based on more than mere feelings.
Knowing that feelings have a way of
changing is important in revealing
how at times it becomes risky to
fully base one’s decisions on them.
Sometimes, circumstances have
a way of changing how we feel
WAYS THROUGH
WHICH SPOUSES
CREATE AN
ENVIRONMENT
OF FEAR AND
A FEELING OF
INADEQUACY IN A
RELATIONSHIP
1
Excluding your partner
from important decisions
by refusing to listen to their
contributions
2
Ignoring or under-estimat-
ing your partner’s feelings
by insinuating that they
need to instead get over such
feelings
3
Branding each other as
dreamers and ignoring the
true future dreams and
desires that they have nurtured
hoping that one day they will
become a reality
4
Becoming overly critical of
each other instead of mak-
ing a positive effort to pay
compliments to each other
5
Dismissing your partner’s
ideas and choosing to
question their judgement
instead of seeking to under-
stand why they do what they do
the way they do it
6
Being quick to always
make unrealistic demands
that you cannot meet your-
self or fulfil.
7
Always comparing your
partner’s performance to
others
about an issue or a person. What you
are feeling now had previously been
drowned by anger and displeasure
arising from the arguments you had
leading to your break-up.
Each one of you have things to
deal with if the reconnection has to
work. I suggest that you take things
slowly and not rush into getting
back together. Try and go through
the process of questioning yourself
using the pointers I raised above.
Something caused the arguments
to erupt. Working of this will lead
to living in freedom and peace. The
consequences arising from the sep-
aration must be dealt with. Did the
separation lead to other unhealthy
connections or attachments that
need to be untangled?
What I would request is for you
to seek disclosure on what issues
she desires to be dealt with before
you can get back together. You have
to take this journey of rebuilding
this love life together. There should
be no secrets. Each of you need
to fully disclose your displeasure,
anger, and fears. Disclosure has
a way of opening up wounds that
could take time to heal. However, I
would rather this happens so long
as it leads to a determined effort
to jointly seek solutions to these
issues together.

born with ability to acquire knowl-
edge through thought, experience
and senses—cognation—some with little;

For a variety of reasons, mostly medi-
cal, including diseases like dementia and
Alzheimer, cognitive ability declines. A
new study published in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences, a
US journal, now suggests a link also exists
between prolonged breathing in polluted
air and cognitive decline.
Researchers from Yale and Peking
universities followed 25,000 people in
162 random counties of China in a course
of four years—2010-2014. All were given
math and verbal tests while their exposure
to polluted air was recorded using official
national air pollution data. Incidentally,

cent of the world’s 250 ones with the

blue skies they hadn’t seen in a decade.
For air pollution proxy the researchers
chose sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and
other particles, some so minute they can
penetrate the skin of human cells. They
then flow in the blood stream and lodge
themselves in body organs, including
the brain. One, Trevor Nace, writing in

Forbes magazine, sums the findings.
“What they [researchers] found is that
increased exposure to air pollution is
linked to cognitive decline.
“Men were more cognitively impacted
by pollution than women. In addition, age
played an important factor, with elderly
much more susceptible to cognitive
decline when exposed to air pollution.
“Lastly, the study found a link that less
educated men and women were more
subjects studied makes allowance for that.
Additionally, the study says precious
little about children. They breath plenty
of air between birth and age six years.
By breathing polluted air, plausibly dec-
ades later they would have lost plenty
of mother wit; become more stupider
than at birth. So, what’s the big deal? It’s
possible to argue most people don’t live
in China or India, where of an estimated
2.7 billion people on Earth, 36 per cent,
do. In any case, very brilliant minds exist
there. But the study is an apt warming
for those who live where air pollution
isn’t as bad.
The World Health Organization esti-
mates seven million premature deaths
occur each year due to air pollution. Why
add cognitive deficiencies? If a link of
cognitive deficit and air pollution has been
noted in China, it can happen anywhere.

High fuel prices ‘a threat to Kenyan exports’
BY CHARLES MWANIKI
The VAT on petroleum products risks hurting Ken-
ya’s exports to the region at a time when the country’s
strong currency is hampering the competitiveness of
local goods.
Manufacturers face higher input prices where they
use diesel-powered machinery to produce goods while
transport costs to regional markets will also rise.
The government started levying the 16 per cent tax
on petroleum products from September 1, increasing
the price of diesel by Sh12.34 to Sh115.08 per litre.
However, the High Court suspended the new tax on
Thursday. The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce
and Industry (KNCCI) has now warned that local goods
Energy> Coming aboard of wind sources expected to cancel 16 percent rate effect
will become even more expensive, and that businesses
may also struggle to get back input VAT on fuel from
the Treasury, which will only serve to raise the cost
of doing business.
“The effects of the same will affect all aspects of the
‘Big Four’ agenda with various products meant to make
the vision a reality such as cement, agro-processing,
logistics (including air travel), and paints, to mention
but a few, likely to go up, increasing the costs of local
products,” said KNCCI in a statement.
“While businesses can claim the tax as input tax,
the chamber is also concerned with the pace at which
the Kenya Revenue Authority has in the past refunded
VAT, with the delays ranging from months to years and
the impact this has on businesses.”
In the first six months of the year, the performance
of exports in regional economies was mixed, growing
significantly in Tanzania, marginally in Rwanda and
falling in Uganda.
Exports to Uganda fell by Sh245.6 million to Sh25.7
billion in the six months to June compared to the same
period last year, while Tanzania exports rose by Sh2.4
billion to Sh12.3 billion.
Exports to Rwanda were up by just Sh21.6 million
to Sh7.16 billion, while exports to Egypt rose by Sh2.1
billion to Sh10.1 billion.
This growth is now threatened by the impending
rise in cost of manufacturing goods, as well as the
divergence in exchange rate performance against the
Us dollar between these countries and Kenya.
Sister firms
survive bank
bid to sell
their assets
BY SAM KIPLAGAT
Kwale Cement Factory and a sister
company, Rising Star Commodities,
have stopped the Bank of Africa from
auctioning four of its properties in to
recover a debt.
Justice P.J.O. Otieno saved the
pair from the gavel after ruling that
a notice under Section 96(2) of the
Land Act, a mandatory requirement,
was never served upon them.
He said that alone was enough to

T
he Energy ministry has ruled
out an increase in electricity
charges following the Sep-
tember 1 implementation of a 16
per cent VAT on petroleum prod-
ucts despite a sizeable amount of
thermal energy being injected into
the national grid.
Energy Principal Secretary
Joseph Njoroge said the Marsabit
310MW wind power being incor-
porated into the grid would offset
VAT charges, leaving electricity
bills largely unchanged.
“Because we will have the wind
power into our grid, the quantity
of diesel used in the thermal power
generators will be significantly re-
duced to the extent that consumers
will not feel the 16 per cent VAT on
petroleum products.
“We are confident of the strength
of the wind around Lake Turkana,
where the turbines are located so
its impact is quite guaranteed,” Mr
Njoroge said last week.
He was responding to concerns
expressed by the Senate Committee
on Energy over the impact of the
new tax on fuel that has drawn
criticism across the country for
its expected impact on the cost
of living.
The contribution of the die-
sel-fired thermal power plants to
the total energy mix increased to 21
per cent from 13 per cent in 2016.
The Lake Turkana wind power
generation relief comes at a time
when the government is seeking to
shed thermal power generators in
a bid to make electricity cheaper

Final tests on the 400V line
set to evacuate the wind power
are ongoing after its challenging
construction that saw the govern-
ment suspend Spanish contractor

into financial distress delaying the
line’s completion.
Once energised, the 436-kilo-
metre Loyangalani-Suswa line will
hook the wind power onto the grid,
boosting the renewal energy levels
into the generation mix.
Mr Njoroge said the consumer
would not have to worry about the
Sh1 billion penalty that was to be
loaded on monthly electricity bills
should the power line have delayed
beyond the September deadline.
Lake Turkana Wind Power is the
largest in Africa with a capacity of
310 megawatts, which is enough
to power up to one million homes.
It is also the single largest
generation source that will be incor-
porated into the grid once the lines,
which also have a 500-kilometre
extension from Suswa to Nairobi,
are powered.
Geothermal accounted for 44 per
cent of the total energy purchased
or 4,451GWh in the period to June
last year, while hydro provided
3,341GWh or 33 per cent, according
to Kenya Power.
Thermal power plants contri-
bution to the total energy mix
increased to 21 per cent from 13
per cent in 2016.
Another 50MW solar powered
energy is set to be incorporated into
the grid before the end of the year
reducing the 14 per cent reliance
on diesel powered power plants.

“In light of the uncertainty of the
dispatch date and lack of proof of
postage, I am satisfied that the appli-
cants have shown that the provisions
of Section 90 of the Land Act were
not properly complied with. This
means the applicants have demon-
strated that they have a prima facie
case with a probability of success,”
Justice Omollo ruled.

have to decide now. You have plenty of time. Don’t
make a move until you’re sure.

Olunga: It’s time
Kenya qualified
for Afcon again
BY VINCENT OPIYO
vopiyo@ke.nationmedia.com
Harambee Stars striker Michael Olunga
believes time has come for Kenya to return
to the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Olunga-led Stars saw off a star-studded
Ghana 1-0 in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations
Group “F” qualifier match at Kasarani
stadium on Saturday, exerting pressure on
Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku to score in
his own net while attempting to clear Eric
Johanna’s cross.
Kenya equaled Ghana’s points tally to three
after two rounds ahead of back-to-back games
against Ethiopia on October 10 and 13.
“I believe time has come we can make it
after years out. Personally, I have to work hard
and try make home fans proud by banging
in goals whenever I get the chance,” he said
yesterday after the morning training session
at Kenya School of Monetary Studies.
The Japan-based forward added: “It’s an
honour playing for the national team and we
just hope that there will be more motivation
so we can keep focus. We’ve two more home
games with the home support like against
Ghana we can get the three points and qualify.”
The former Gor Mahia man also thanked
the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) for their
support whilst challenging the government,
through the ministry of sports, to clear the
team budget on time.
“We thank what FKF has done so far and
also thank the government for issuing tickets
on time, maybe pending match bonuses which
if cleared on time can be a moral booster,”
he added.
“They should also improve on the in-
frastructure in the country so that we can
promote local football, have more academies,
good playing surfaces across the country like
the one at Kasarani which we hope will be
maintained well,” he concluded.
Martial Arts >
Home team wins
medals in tourney
BY ABDULRAHMAN SHERIFF
Despite getting off to a slow start, defending
champions Kenya yesterday come back strongly
to register good performance on the second
day of the Mombasa Open Tong-IL Moo-Do
International Martial Arts Championship at
Aga Khan Academy.
Kenya bagged two gold medals after four
events at the Aga Khan Academy.
After an early lead in the first two events
in the adult male individual forms and adult
female individual forms that earned Philippines
two gold medals and a silver, Kenya dominated
the male kid’s individual forms.
Kenya made it 1-2-3 in the category, with
Joseph Clement winning gold medal, Alamin
Ismail finished second to take silver medal
and Simon Timos coming third to claim
bronze medal.
In the female kids individual forms, Kenya
won gold and silver. Nina Inan scooped gold
medal, and Mwatumu Isma claimed a silver
medal. Earlier, in the 18 years and over adult
male individual forms category, Mharjudi
Delos Santos and Geovane Gella, both from
Philippines, won a gold and silver medals. The
bronze medal went to Ogene Ifeanji of Nigeria.
Cabinet Administrative Secretary of the
Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage,
Noor Hassan Noor was the chief guest. Also
in attendance were the World Tong-IL Moo-Do
Federation president and the sport founder,
grandmaster Dr Joon Ho Seuk.
K’OGALO CORNER > TOM OSANJO
Gor Mahia should get to the bottom
of high profile player exodus
I
recently promised to revisit the
issue of player transfers from
Gor Mahia and which some
section of the fans have cited as the
reason we never went far in African
Confederation Cup campaign we
recently crashed out of.
Those of us who watched our
beloved Gor Mahia take on Rayon
Sports of Rwanda were not very
impressed with the playing unit. If
we are to be honest, the Rwandese
ran rings around us at will and the
sooner this is fixed the better.
In the blame game that ensued,
it became apparent that the dis-
mayed fans- and some officials
too - blamed the exit of our star
players Meddie Kagere and God-
frey Walusimbi for our woes.
In the war of words that erupted
especially on social media, it was
obvious that some of the Ambrose
Rachier-led administration thought
that former Gor Mahia secretary
general George Bwana was the
main culprit in the whole saga. I
am acquainted with both Rachier
and Bwana, more so the latter. I
believe both gentlemen have the
best interests of the club at heart.
However, as I stated here last
week, we must also look into the
factors that made the said players
OFF THE PITCH > MOSES OJUANG
FKF must come up with plan
to keep Stars longer in camp
T
hese days, the social media
has even us the ability to
write down words that were
never written before.
They were only sounds that
cartoons and comics could capture.
We can therefore say ‘nkt’ and
‘mscheew’ and ‘pthoo’ and other
gibberish just to show what we
really feel about something. Allow
us therefore to say ‘eek’ and phew!
Harambee stars won the match
against Ghana’s Black Stars and
revived hope of qualifying for the
2019 Confederation of Africa Foot-
ball (Caf) Africa Cup of Nations.
At the end of the match, the
whole country breathed a collective
sigh of relief. We got the red card
yes, and the 10 remaining lads
held on and made us proud. It is
nice here to quote the Stars coach
Sebastian Migne after the match:
“I am very proud of my players; I

bolt off from the Kogalo stable.
About a week before he crossed
the border to join Tanzania’s
Simba Sports Club, I had a chat
with Kagere.
Around that time, he was unsure
of his future at Gor and no concrete
information on his contract was
forthcoming. He told me he is
alive to the fact that as a player his
shelf life is quite short and he has
to make the hay while the sun still
shines, as the cliché goes.
When the chance to join the
Tanzanians came, he took it. I
have never spoken to Walusimbi
but I suppose the same reasoning
informed his choice. To say that
Bwana was wrong - if he was the
one selling the two players - is
being dishonest. The players
moved when the two respective
clubs needed their services. To
He (Kagere) told me

like so much the spirit of the team.
With only four days it was not easy
to build a good spirit and with this
kind of opponent it is difficult but
in terms of spirit my boys gave
something incredible,”
This he told CAF online. We
agree with Migne, but in the state-
ment we realise that the team only
had four days to prepare for the
big match! Four little days with
pending allowances and they still
made it! We must congratulate
them on this victory.
The only reservation we have
as fans was about the display.
Perhaps the players in the field
knew what they were doing but to
us in the stands and those watching
the match on television it was a
frightful afternoon. We sweated in
the chilly weather, we wringed our
hands; we trembled in unison and
held our heads in terror; we gave
CHRIS OMOLLO I NATION
accuse them of some mutiny and
stating that they should have
waited for some time is plain
wrong. Who tells you that the two
clubs that signed them would not
have shopped elsewhere?
Now to the small matter of FKF
writing a threatening letter to our
coach Dylan Kerr. According to
the federation’s CEO, the British
tactician erred- or rather sinned -
in insinuating that President Nick
Mwendwa had a hand in some
decision in our game against Ka-
riobangi Sharks.
Now I have never met Muthomi
but we have a whole slew of mutual
friends and from them I gather that
he is quite a decent man. My advice
to the CEO is to let the matter rest.
By signing on the dotted line to
be FKF boss, Mwendwa opened
his life for criticism whether from
Kerr or any other interested party.
It is part of occupation hazard, if
you would.
Finally last Friday was my birth-
day and an Ingwe diehard Daniel

hoped I would live long enough
to see AFC lift a continental cup.
My reponse? I don’t intend to live

out moans and shouted like mad
people whenever the Ghanaians
came dangerously to our goal
mouth. It was pure unadulterated
torture!
We prayed with lips of clay for
the agony to pass and each person
asked the stranger beside him if
we were actually going to make it
through the remaining time which
we willed to pass as quickly as
possible. It was nightmare that we
should be saved from in future. We
won but 30 minutes or so after the
match, I was still trembling from
the pressure!
Lucky are those who never
watched the match and only heard
of the result that we had won. Three
points in the bag yes, but we the
fans are still scared.
One funny part is that most
people I communicated with had
bet on Ghana beating us but found
themselves supporting Kenya
against their bets! Patriotism was
stretched to the limit on Saturday
afternoon.
We won. That is what counts to
many, but to us who are worked up
into a frenzy whenever Harambee
Stars play it was torment.
We really need to qualify for 2019
Afcon but if we are going to play
like that, we may not get there. If it
was the short duration of training
that Migne talked about, then FKF
must come up with a better plan to
keep our lads longer in camp for
better preparation.
We won, but we mustn’t kill
Kenyans like that again.

Leopards should
win SportPesa
Shield for fans
W
ith SportPesa Shield being the only
trophy within reach for AFC Leopards,
it is my thinking that the club’s players
should win it for their faithful fans and book a
ticket to next year’s CAF Confederation Cup.
The only way the boys can make their sup-
porters happy is to deliver the shield trophy
after failing to lift the league title since 1998;
keeping in mind that representing the country
in continental assignment is a major highlight
in their careers.
Leopards won the Shield crown (previously
GOtv Shield) for the 10th time last year after
sinking Kariobangi Sharks 2-0 at Kasarani,
but the 13th-time Kenyan champions have a
date with Sofapaka in the semi-finals, before
proceeding.
Sofapaka is a strong side; but Ingwe must use
all means to beat them and procced to the final
and win the trophy in the normal play; since the
boys have not been clinical in executing spot
kicks in recent knock-out encounters.
As we plan to finish the league in a respectful
position and start preparing to win next year’s
title, our players to their bit by realising what
the club means for the fans; by accepting to die
with their boots on for the sake of the team.
Ingwe, currently third in the league from 29
matches, started this season on a high note
but our common habit of firing coaches was
our undoing; only to start registering positive
results on the pitch when it was too late!
We experienced regular changes in the tech-
nical bench with six coaches coming. Stewart
Hall departed, the team saw Dorin Marin, Tom
Juma, Robert Matano and Dennis Kitambi
briefly take charge before Rodolf Zapata was
appointed early in April this year.
We must make sure most of the players in the
club are retained for the team to be better come
next year, after they have gelled well.
After Zapata took over, the players are coming
up really fast, and next year they should go for
it (league title). The coach only needs to add a
few players, then it should be exceptional talent!
Ingwe can do better that K’Ogalo who al-
lowed Rayon Sports to beat them at Kasarani,
a results that hounded them until they were
eventually knocked out in group stages by USM
Alger of Algeria.
After we lost to Fosa Juniors of Madagascar
in the first round last year, Leopards will have
another chance to prove their critics wrong by
going past the quarter-final stage next year.
Ingwe players have proved their worth in
recent matches under Zapata, who should be
given more time to handle the boys.
For a very long time, Ingwe fans have re-
mained speechless in disbelief as the team
continues registering mixed results. But I see
time coming when our critics will be silenced.
Ingwe players have started proving their
worth, a fact that is likely to see them start
attracting lucrative broadcasting revenues as
fans too get value for their money.
In the recent matches, however, fans have
been given not only hope, but a real boost. The
players commitment is also a timely reminder
to the fans that wearing that beautiful blue and
white jersey is worth more than money.
Many fans are now hopeful, perhaps even
quietly confident, that Ingwe players will remain
focused throughout the season and start on a
high note next year.
However, Ingwe has a strong squad capable
of springing surprises, Zapata who so far has
a perfect run of matches, must tighten his de-
fense and rectify errors as we look forward to
maintaining the good run.
Most of the players have started getting used
to the way the he wants them to operate and our
remaining opponents including our arch rivals
K’Ogalo should be ready for a big fight when
they come face to face with the true Ingwe!

he joined from Atletico Madrid in

the UEFA Cup.
He then went on to play for

“Diego said it too, sooner or

for a move away last summer he
extended his contract.
He has won seven trophies with

ticians are behind the violence.
Before the clashes hit the area, ten-
sions had been building up following the
eviction of illegal settlers from the Maasai
against making statements that could
aggravate the violence in the region.
Mr Tonui blamed the violence on
careless utterances by local politicians.
Maasai leaders, on several occasions,

A
t least 15 schools have been closed
in Narok South following ongoing
inter-ethnic skirmishes between
the Maasai and Kipsigis communities.
Several trading centres also remain
deserted in the area where four people
have been killed so far.
More than 35 people have been injured,
29 suspects arrested and hundreds of
families displaced in the clashes. The
affected institutions are; Enakishomi,
Triangle, Olkaria, Osongorot, Olorwasi,
into camps for Internally Displaced Per-
sons (IDPs) as those whose houses were
burnt seek refuge with the few items they
were able to salvage. “We have left our
cattle and farms unattended following
the attacks” Mrs Ann Towett said at
Ololoipangi primary school.
Trading centres including Sokam,
Oleshapani, Naiurur, Olmekenyu, Whole-
sale, Simendwa, Ololaipangi, Torokiat,
Lesuswa, Nkoben and Centre One were
deserted as traders closed their shops
ment efforts to restore peace in the area.
Politicians have also come under fire
for allegedly fanning the violence and
falsely blaming it on cattle rustling as
an excuse. Eviction of families settled
along the Mau forest, careless utterances,
incitement and hate speech are the main
underlying factors that have fuelled the
skirmishes. While, on the surface, the
skirmishes are alleged to have been
caused by a cattle rustling incident
resulting in the killing of a herdsman at
Mau Forest by the national government.
So far, 9,000 settlers have been kicked

warned Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina
have threatened to mobilise their com-
munity to invade Mau Forest and occupy
it if the government did not evict those
who have encroached the forest.
”There is no way the Maasai can accept
another destruction of the Mau forest.
We are giving the government 14 days,
to kick out squatters,” the leaders stated
during a meeting at Nkareta last month,
a meeting that many settlers affected by
the clashes point out was the source of
tensions in the area.

I dropped out of university due to lack of school fees

I WAS BORN in Kawangware,
Nairobi.
My parents then moved to Eas-
tleigh and later to Komarock estate.
I attended two primary schools;
the first one in Eastleigh and the
second one in Komarock.
I attended classes one to five in
my first school before transferring
to Capeville Academy in Komarock
from class six to eight.
My favourite teacher in my first
school was a Mr Oduor who taught
us English. He was fun and could
even play music for us in class once
in a while.
He was also the most handsome
teacher in school.
English was my favourite subject
in primary school. I always loved
languages.
My primary school education was
a great experience. I loved it.
The schools I went to were disci-
plined and there were no cases of
misbehaviour as we currently see.
I was a noise maker. So much
even when I was absent from school
I would still make it to the list of
noise makers.
I grew up wanting to be a lawyer
because partly I used to talk too
much. So my parents used to say
that I would be a lawyer.
Later, I joined Kenya High School,
but here I did not have a favourite
teacher. My love for languages re-
mained, but Biology also became
my favourite subject.
While in high school, I changed
from my love for law and now
wanted to do International Rela-
tions. Ideally I would be the other
Amina and not the one you are
seeing now.
But when I joined the university,
I deferred my studies and later
dropped out of school as my par-
ents could not afford my school
fees.
One day while I was in a matatu,
I heard an advertisement over the
radio about a certificate course at
Home Boys Entertainment. I ap-
plied and joined although I was not
planning to be in the entertainment
industry.
I thought I would just stay there
for a year, save enough to go back
to school. But I ended up getting
more and more opportunities and
here I am now.
My advice to young leaners is that
they should stay in school and be
open to learning as one never stops
learning.

She confessed that there are

Therefore, to ensure that her

Poetry is her passion and she

It did not, therefore, come as a

The cover from Geminia insurance, covers loss
or damage of insured property through theft
accompanied by visible, forcible and violent entry
into, or exit out of the insured premises.
The policy extends to cover damage to the doors,
windows, walls and roof by intruders who may try
to force their entry and exit into a premise. It further
insures damage to the contents in the event of an
attempted break in to the premises.
However, their neighbor warned that some losses
are not covered under this burglary/theft insurance.
The policy excludes losses such as: damage by fire,
theft by trick, pilferage, shoplifting, entry by use of
key unless by force in situations where employee(s)
collude with outsiders in perpetration of the crime.

Musically Gifted:
Shirleen’s love for
the violin wins her
parents’ approval
BY MAUREEN KAKAH
@maureenkakah
mkakah@ke.nationmedia.com
A
t the age of eight, Shirleen Obara
had discovered what she really
liked to do besides school work.
Then a class two pupil at Con-
sola School in Westlands, Nairobi, she
confidently approached her parents and
told them that she wanted to play the
violin.
Her parents were clueless and had to
google to know what it was. They learnt
that it was a musical instrument!
Shirleen had joined the music club and
that is where her interest was discovered.
With the help of her teacher, she re-
quested her parents to have her enrolled
in private lessons, as well as buy her the
instruments.
Torn between supporting their only
child and other family commitments, her
parents chose the former, which marked
the start of a journey in mentoring a fu-
ture international musician- what Shirleen

The Cholera Scare is the story
of twins- Pato and
Sandra living with
their parents.
The twins often visit
their aunt, Maria, who
lives close by.
One day, after their
usual visit, as she es-
corts them back home,
aunt Maria tells the
twins about cholera
and the dangers it
poses to human beings.
She also tells the
children how to protect

“A lot of parents wish their children to
be lawyers, doctors, something close to
that. The reality is that very few of them
end up being what their parents want
them to be,” Shirleen’s father told Junior-
spot when Juniorspot visited her at their
home in Rongai for an interview.
“What I can say is that listen to your
kids, guide them, support them and enjoy,
provided it is not a criminal activity,” he
added.
Determined to ensure their daughter
does not pursue her passion in a hand-
icapped fashion, her parents had to
shift from their initial place of stay and
changed schools to one closer to where
her music teacher teaches and lives, be-
sides buying the instruments and paying
for the extra lessons.
Now 11 and in class five at Advent

Besides playing violin, Shirleen loves
swimming, drawing, digital art, animation
and playing chase.
She attends normal school classes and
has her music lessons privately at home in
the evenings for an hour. She has started
to learn the piano.
Her role model is Niccolò Paganini, an
Italian, known as the greatest and best
violinist, whose works left a mark as one
of the pillars of modern violin techniques.
Before we sat down for this interview,
Shirleen played one of his famous piece,
which I learn is called ‘Caprice 24.’
She says it was difficult at first because
the techniques in playing the instrument
were challenging. Her parents wish her to
secure a scholarship in a boarding school
in the UK so as to pursue her passion.
“At this point where we are, she has
Light Bulb
Lets’ get into the history of light
bulbs.
But before we delve into it, can you
envision a life without light at night?
You would need to take your supper in
the evening and get to bed at dusk!
The story of light bulbs starts more
than 200 years ago. That is early 1800s.
Humphrey Davy, an Englishman made
what was referred to as an “arc lamp.”
However, it was considered imprac-
tical as the light was too bright to
be used in residences or businesses.
Also, it required a tremendous source
of power and batteries were quick
drained.

decided she wants to do music and be
a musician, a concert performer so her
music comes first. She does well in school
and has the potential,” her mother said.
She added: “I think it’s important to
support our kids, it’s also good to be open
and honest. For us it was an easy choice
because we see she is actually talented,
determined and puts in time to practice.”
The 11 year old advices other children
to pursue their passion too and to never
shy away from seeking support in their
pursuit.
“If they have something they like they
should not be afraid to do it. They should
work hard at it and they should never
ignore it. People usually have some kind
of specific things they are good at but
usually something stops them,” she says.
Invention
Corner
Many inventors continued to make
improvements on Davy’s invention but
it was Thomas Alva Edison who entered
the race to make a better bulb in 1878.
Like many people do, he counted his
chicks before they hatched and the idea
he had, though great, it didn’t work.
This failed attempt made he learn a
lot of things and by October 1879, his
workers started seeing some results.
In 1882, he had achieved much and
even started an electrical company. So,
did Edison the light bulb? No, he didn’t.
Others had produced an incandescent
light before him. He did, however, cre-

ave you ever been to
an agricultural or trade
show? What did you love
most?
The shows organised by the
Agricultural Society of Kenya
(ASK) provide interesting learn-
ing opportunities for pupils and
students.
What makes them exciting are
the demonstrations by various
exhibitors, which provide a prac-
tical learning experience for show
goers.
People go to the shows to ex-
change experiences, learn new
techniques and build networks.
The most recent show was the
Mombasa International Show in
Mombasa, which started from
August 29 and ended on Septem-
ber 2.
The show had many new pro-
jects on display attracted over
3,000 people, including students
from different schools and institu-
tions of higher learning.
The show was fun as everyone
was allowed to visit the stand of
their choice, ask questions and
gain more information about the
products exhibited.
The show’s theme was ‘Promot-

Maheera Intikhan, 12, a grade
seven student presented a project
called ‘Stop! Let’s work hard for
our basic needs.’
Her project aimed at showing
simple recipes for cooking simple
Swahili foods like samosa and
doughnuts, which can be adopted
by the jobless and street beggars.
“Along many streets in major
towns in Kenya, you will find peo-
ple sitting and begging. Instead
of begging, these people can do
some little business like selling
groundnuts and some foodstuff
to earn a living,” Maheera said.
Naira Gillani, 12, showcased
various handmade crafts using
A4 papers, which could be used
as success cards, congratulatory
letters, Christmas cards among
others.
Yanna Mbugua, 11, presented
a project that can assist street

There were 190 exhibitors in
total at the show. International
exhibitors came from Uganda,
Tanzania, China, Egypt, Turkey and

Show goers also learnt about
the operations of different firms

S
intaan Primary School is a mixed public primary school
located in Ng’ambo, Baringo South constituency, Baringo

‘This is our story’ — Si

County.
The school’s population is 341 pupils. 41 of them are candi-
dates and will be sitting their Kenya Certificate of Primary Educa-
tion (KCPE) this year.
But the candidates are worried. For the last two weeks, learning
at the school has been disrupted due to flooding. Over 100 fami-
lies have been displaced from their homes and pupils are affected.
Every rainy season, the school compound gets flooded. It is a
seasonal problem.
Cynthia Kirigoti is 16 years old and in standard eight. She says
learning is disrupted through absenteeism every year. Accord-
ing to Cynthia, their problems usually begin at home when their
houses are swept away by floods.
“We experience the highest number of school drop outs in our
village due to lack of school fees attributed to floods as parents
languish in poverty,” Cynthia says.
The candidates are worried that the floods may affect their
KCPE performance as they do not have a conducive environment
to continue with their revision and exam preparation. “We have
no food and nowhere to sleep or even do our homework,” adds
Cynthia.
Despite the flooding, children get out to enjoy fun games in
their flooded school, oblivious of the dangers of floodwaters.
Floods can increase the transmission of water borne diseases
such as typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis and hepatitis A. The
children have found alternative games to play because of the en-
vironmental conditions.
The water spitting competition is their favourite. They also tell
riddles and short stories, often sourced from their elderly relatives
back at home. The older pupils take up responsibility of watch-
ing over the younger ones to ensure they are safe. That includes
carrying them on their backs and shoulders when water levels
increase, Jecinta Kuroito, 14, told Juniorspot.

Lets see who spits farthest:

Milianoi Millicent and her friend compete in a water spitting
game at Sintaan primary school in Baringo South on August 31,
2018. The two friends love teasing each other. They are Standard
8 pupils and are sitting their KCPE exams this year.

But it appears the girls do it better!
Pupils have devised alternative games to ball games and other related
games when the school compound gets flooded because they can’t access
their playing ground.

Read the passage below and answer the questions.
Words can destroy a country. Word alone drove Kenya to the
brink – to the very ledge of the edge of the precipice, where the
country was staring into a cauldron of chaos and conflict five years
ago. There were no issues, just an avalanche of words.
So far, the national cohesion team , the head of Anglican church
and the inspector –general of police have begun to help Kenyans to
identify issue whose discussion could brew discord, like land.
Land is a highly emotive subject that conjures up the violent
imagery of freshly dug earth, clashing hoes and machetes, which is
antithetical to free elections. The ministry of Lands does not know
how many squatters there are in Kenya, but in coast province, it has
counted 150,000 families.
It would be extremely irresponsible for anyone to broach the
subject of land. There is a palpable risk of many other squatters
crawling out of the woodwork in Rift valley , central , Nyanza and
Nairobi provinces. There is a National Land Commission, and it
should be allowed to do its work without too much talking.
Besides land, the authorities must also caution against the
cavalier discussion of poverty. Poverty is a highly emotive subject. It
has the potential to cause tensions .divide the country and provoke
unpredictable reaction. At the last reckoning in 2007, one in every
two Kenyans was economically disadvantaged.
People who have lived all their lives in bliss could be provoked
into anger by labels of poverty and unemployment at election
time. Discussing a subject that touches so many people directly
could unnecessarily build tension in the population and provoke
widespread violence. They might start demanding a share of
property they have neither stolen nor worked for. In the same way,
hunger and food insecurity are too embarrassing to discuss.
Already, there is poverty eradication commission in the ministry
of planning, national development and Vision 2030. It would be
pointless to behavior this emotive issue. While at it , the screening
of the film, Nairobi half life, should be banned until after the
elections . it has far too much poverty in it.
Security is another sensitive subject that should not be raised
on the political rostrum. Making promises to reform police is
extremely reckless at it could make officers rebellious. Petrified
by the prospect of vetting, many police officers would lose their
enthusiasm for the job and let the country slide into anarchy. Again,
the National police service commission is up to the task.
Finally, examining the ethnical disorientation of individuals
offering themselves for leadership usually produces divisions along
ethnic lines. Discussing integrity in Kenya and producing words like
Tokyo embassy , maize importation , budget typing error can easily
spark a bar brawl that would spread like a wildfire and consume the C. It has the potential to cause tension
