INTERVIEW | Cord leader says he has no idea why anyone would want him eliminated

Raila challeng challenges es the police over threat to his life Former PM defends standard gauge railway and some of the contracts linked to Anglo Leasing, but criticises county commissioners BY BMJ MUREITHI AND OUMA WANZALA @Iwanzala [email protected]

F

ormer Prime Minister Raila Odinga has accused police of treating as trivial the claims of an assassination plot against him. Commenting on the claims first made by his elder brother, Dr Oburu Oginga earlier this month, Mr Odinga asked the police to take the allegations seriously seriously.. Dr Oginga had alleged that there was an East African Community conspiracy to eliminate him. Days after he made the claims, he presented himself to the CID headquarters to record a statement last week, but was told to record the statement in Bondo, Siaya County. Yesterday Yeste rday,, in a wide-ranging interview in the US, Mr Odinga said: “I have not had an opportunity to talk to my brother over the issue at length as he only talked about having credible information and I advised him to report to the police. “I do not know the reason someone

will want to kill me, but the reason is best known to people people who are planning it.” He wondered why, even after volunteering to go to the CID, Dr Oginga was referred to the police in Bondo. “It is strange that he was turned away. Where you give information does not matter as it is the responsibility of the police to investigate,” he said. Mr Odinga regretted that a citizen of the standing of an MP could be turned away by police. “Maybe they know the reason why,” the Cord leader who has been in the US for over two months on a study programme and is scheduled to return on May 31, said. “All of us will die one day. Like Shakespeare in Julius Caesar said, death is a necessary evil. It will come when it will and only cowards die many ti mes before their death,” he said, adding, he had done what was right for the country and wished to see a united Kenya. “As Nelson Mandela said this is an ideal which I would like to live to see realised, but if I must pay the ultimate price, so be it,” he said. Last week, Dr Oginga claimed that senior leaders in the East African Community had hatched a plot to assassinate Mr Odinga. However, State House dismissed the allegations as unfounded. On regional integration, Mr Odinga said that he had a cordial relationship with Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni and his Rwandan counterpart,

It is mad to refuse to pay for the delivered services” Former PM Raila Odinga

GERALD ANDERSON | NATION

BACKGROUND

Odinga’s long political career Raila Odinga was born on January 7, 1945. He is the son of Kenya’s first Vice-President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. He has contested the presidency three times — 1997, 2007 and 2013 — and lost. In the 4 March, 2013 election he lost to President Kenyatta. Mr Odinga fought for multiparty democracy and was detained twice (from 1982 to 1988 and 1989 to 1991).

Mr Paul Kagame. He said he believed in the dream of an EAC federation, which, he said, was started by his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Tanzania’s founding President Julius Nyerere. “I have enjoyed good relations with Museveni and Kagame I have visited both of them and held discussions on various issues affecting EAC,” he

said. He supported the standard gauge railway project, which he described as the brainchild of the Grand Coalition government in which he was Prime Minister and Mr Mwai Kibaki the President. “I was chairing a joint committee with the Ugandan PM. We agreed that each country moves on with the project and it is good that Presidents Museveni, Kiir and Kagame were in Nairobi to witness the signing of the deal with China,” he said. However, he asked President Kenyatta not to abandon the Lamu project, saying, it would open up the region for development. On Anglo Leasing, he said that it was unfortunate that the scandal occurred when the Narc government had put in place mechanisms to fight corruption. He said the scandal occurred in the Kibaki administration, but had started under the Nyayo era. “It is sad that this occurred when former minister David Mwiraria was the chair of an anti-corruption

committee while John Githongo was the secretary of the committee,” he said. Mr Odinga added that the deals happened under their feet. However, he said that not all Anglo Leasing-related Leasing-related projects projects were were fictitious and gave the example of the navy ship and Project Nexus, a border surveillance system based in Karen. “It is mad to refuse to pay pay for the delivered services,” he said. On Mr Kenyatta’s recent directive empowering County Commissioners, Mr Odinga said the officers have no role and that the governm government ent should allow counties to manage their own affairs. The National Government Coordination Act violates the Constitution, he said, adding that the Provincial Administration was meant to be restructured and not renamed. “The national government should co-operate with county governments, which are the representativ representative e of people on the ground,” he said.

You can’ You can’tt remo remov ve Uhuru, Cord told BY NATION REPORTER

Jubilee coalition coalition politicians have dared Cord to table an impeachment motion against President Kenyatta in the National Assembly and the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Kithure Kindiki with the ruling coalition’s MPs and senators said the Opposition was dreaming. On Sunday, Siaya Senator Jame s Ore ngo, Kak ame ga Senator Boni Khalwale and other Cord leaders warned that they would impeach the President, accusing him of failing to lead the country. The Opposition leaders also kicked off a series of rallies which they said were meant to prepare for leadership take-over. They said Jubilee was unable to govern, leading to insecurity, tribalism and corruption among other reasons. However,, speaking at Par However

liament yesterday, the Jubilee leaders told the Opposition that any motion brought against the President would be shot down in the Senate and National Assembly as Cord lacked the majority numbers. “We want to believe that the Opposition was joking and had not looked at the law by the time they were talking as numbers do not lie,” said Prof Kindiki. He said the Constitution requires a very high threshold for impeaching a President. “I believe Cord leaders were providing news for newspapers at the weekend. “It’s completely impossible to impeach the President because Jubilee numbers do not permit,” he added. The Senate leader said the Opposition had not provided serious grounds to warrant the removal of the President. “You do not just wake up and say you want to impeach the President,’’ (Picture (Picture on Back Page) Page)

even more bodies were yesterday exhumed from two graves graves in Kitengela Kitengela and Athi River. Police led by chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor exhumed six bodies from a grave in a disused quarry while the seventh was found in a cave about two kilometres away. The quarry is in the 2,000-acre Sheep and Goat Farm, where villagers graze their animals. Mr Samwel Sayiore, 62, found the grave while herding his animals. Mr Sayiore alerted the area chief and called the police who confirmed that there were several bodies in the grave. grave. Police collected the limbs scattered around the quarry while the rest of the area was cordoned off. Dr Oduor visited the area on Sunday afternoon and returned yesterday to exhume other bodies. Police and Red Cross mem ber s were in the proc ess of excavating the burial site when a herdsboy discovered a decomposing human body next to a dry riverbed, two kilometres from the quarry.

Dr Oduor said all the seven victims appeared to be adult males but he did not rule out the possibility of this observation changing once postmortem examination results are released since the torso of one of the bodies was missing. “The bodies will be taken to

Kajiado Senator Peter Mositet blamed the Interi or minis try for not resolving land rows in Kitengela. “The state of security in Kenya is appalling, especially in Kitengela. What has happened here is horrific. We call on Interior minister Joseph ole Lenku to act speedily speedily and get to the bottom of what has happened here,” he said.

Mr Mositet also decried the recent spate of violence involving a church in Kitengela where suspected Mungiki members attacked worshippers, killing three and injuring 13 others. “Churches that encourage violence should be investigated,” investigated,” he said. The senator said there was a possibility that the exhumed bodies were victims of the recent clashes between members of Mungiki fighting over a 4,000acre property previously owned by East Africa Portland. Several people were reported killed in the scuffle at Hope International Church in Kitengela. The church was started by Mr Maina Njenga, a founder of Mungiki. Mr Njenga has previously denied any involvement involvement in the disputed land. He says he is no longer the leader of the sect.

Police are holding an 18-year-old man whom they say confessed to planting explosives in matatus that killed three people on the Thika Superhighway. The suspect is expected to appear in court this week, according to sources in the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit who spoke on condition of anonymity as they are not authorised to talk to the press. They said the teenager was traced to Kiamaiko slums by detectives who had visited the scene of the explosion. Acc or din g to inv es tig ato rs, the suspect received a deposit of Sh85,000 to carry out the attack and later Sh135,000, which was transferred to his father’s mobile phone from an agent in Moyale. The suspect has disclosed that he was with an accomplice who is yet to be traced. Bought Sim cards The police sources said the attackers bought four Sim cards in Kayole on the fateful day and registered in a friend’s name. “He has confessed to being involved in the attack targeting the first bus, which occurred opposite Homeland. His accomplice was involved in the one at the Roysambu underpass,” underpass, ” said a police officer. The improvised explosive devices (IEDs), according to detectives, were triggered using mobile phones after they had been planted in the two buses. The detectives told the Nation that the Sim card that was found in the debris led to the manhunt that culminated in the arrest of the suspect’s father. The father then led the police to his son’s hideout in Kiamaiko slums. It is unclear whether the father will be charged but police said his phone was used to receive cash from a sponsor, who has been on the terror watch list for a while.

AG FIGH FIGHTS TS BACK BACK | I am just a mortician, patient died at the operating table, says Githu as LSK pushes to oust him

Revealed: Owners of Rev firms in Sh1.4bn deal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Kenyan businessman Anura Perera. These are the two companies that President Kenyatta directed National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich to pay Sh1.4 billion. Acc ord ing to Pro f Mui gai , the money was a penalty for incomplete payments for the two contracts that Kenya signed with First Mercantile Securities and Universal Satspace in 2002. “The man in front of you today is a mortician,” Prof Muigai told a Press conference in his office in Nairobi. “The patient died on the operating table. If you think the patient should have lived, ask the surgeons.” He presented a statement dated May 14, 2014, signed by Solicitor-General Njee Muturi and addressed to the Senate committee on Finance, Commerce and the Budget in which Mr Muturi linked Mr Perera to the two companies. On First Mercantile, Mr Muturi said Mr Perera had confirmed that he had formed the company on December 11, 2000 and that he had been a director until 2005 together with his wife Ghazala Perera and Chritos Koumbis, his financial adviser. On Spacenet Inc, he said the firm’s registered office is in McLean, Virginia, and is a subsidiary of Gilat Satellite Networks Networks Ltd, whose registered office is in Israel. “By a contract dated September

1, 2002, Spacenet Inc transferred its rights and obligations... to a sister company, Gilat Satellite Networks (Holland) BV, which is also a subsidiary of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd (Israel)”. The Israeli subsidiary was contracted by the Postal Corporation of Kenya to supply communication equipment for the parastatal. It then subcontracted the work to Gilat Alldean International, which later became Alldean Satellite Networks Ltd (Kenya), a company said to belong to Mr Perera (see separate story ). Companies have owners “There has been an allegation that these companies are faceless. On the contrary, the companies have owners and the records as we have here are completely up to date,” Prof Muigai told reporters yesterday. Prof Muigai has come under increasing pressure to resign from the Law Society of Kenya and from politicians allied to the opposition Cord, who at the weekend called for his ouster. LSK, on the other hand, has threatened to strike the AG off its roll of senior counsel. Yesterday, it petitioned Parliament to begin a process process of removing removing Prof Muigai from office (see story on Page 5). It also wrote to the Ethics and Ant i-Co rru ptio n Comm iss ion (EACC) requesting an investigation into a possible crime of “conspiracy to defraud public finances through procurement of an irregular judgment”.

BACKGROUND

Firm has had many changes The shareholders of Alldean Satellite Networks Ltd when the company was registered on March 26, 1999, were listed as Mr David Raffman (a Kenyan who owned one share) and Mr Davinder Singh Virdee, also a Kenyan who owned the other shares.


Attorney General Githu Muigai addresses journalists in his office in Nairobi yesterday. He said criticism directed at himself and his office was unfair.

Later in the evening, it emerged that the association had asked the Law Society of England to investigate whether the Anglo Leasing ruling against Kenya in a London court was a conspiracy involving the British judge who handled the case. In his defence, Prof Muigai said he should not be blamed for the scandal, which led Kenya to pay the Sh1.4 billion to the two companies. Never prosecuted “The people who signed the contract have never been prosecuted,” he said. “How then were we to prove corruption? We know the people who signed it!” He also denied claims that government lawyers had deliberately mishandled the cases involving the two companies, leading Kenya to lose them in the London and Geneva courts. “Any allegation that these

cases were being mishandled for an ulterior motive...nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing could be more libelous of my officer, of my office and of myself,” he said. “This unwarranted attacking in the media, in public meetings and at funerals to my office, my officers and myself have been injurious. “The treatment meted out to me in the last 72 hours is totally unjustified. I very much wish there was a more responsible way,” the AG said. On whether the firms actually supplied the equipment for which they were paid, Prof Muigai: “It is not for the Attorney General’s office to say what has been supplied or not. ‘‘But Ministry of Communications officials and their consultants (PwC) have consistently admitted that the broadband was supplied.”

According to returns filed in February the following year, Mr Pritpal Singh Thethy and Mr Max Kadosh had been appointed as directors rere placing Mr Raffman and Mr Virdee. On May 2, the company changed its name to Aldeen (East Africa) Ltd. Interestingly,, by the end Interestingly of the month, the name had again changed to Gilat Alldean (Africa) Ltd. Five days later, Mr Thethy was allocated 15,000 shares in the company while a Mr Maqsood Alam Chaudry was allocated another 9,998. The company underwent numerous changes in direcdirectorship between 2002 and 2007. But from December 31 that year to date, the directors have not changed. They remained as Mr Raffman and Mr Mohamed Muin Malik with Vertex Communications LLC as a non-director shareholder. Vertex is registered in Delaware, USA.

Birth of the Anglo Leasing contracts BY NATION REPORTER

The Anglo Leasing story can be traced back to July 2002 when Communications Minister Musalia Mudavadi sought the Treasury’s permission to contract two companies to provide broadband to post offices in the country. Finance Minister Chris Obure permitted Postal Corporation (PCK) boss Francis Chahonyo to contract the two companies. At tor ne y- Gen er al Am os Wako gave the approval for the government to engage First Mercantile Securities and Universal Satspace. On July 11, 2002, Universal Satspace North America LLC, said to be registered in Delaware Division of Corporations, entered into a contract with the government through the Ministry of Transport and Communication to supply bandwidth spectrum and network operation and control service to Postal Corporation for 10 years.

But it is the intricate links between the two two firms that is confusing. The directors kept jum pin g fro m one fir m to the other as shares changed hands in companies linked to First Mercantile and Universal Satspace. Mr Anura Perera told the court in Geneva in the first case that he formed First Mercantile on December 11, 2000. He was director until 2005 together with his wife Ghazala Perera and Christos Koumbis, his financial adviser. But in 2005, Ninos Yamakis, who had been his accountant in Cyprus and Mr John Yannaros became directors. directors. He argued that this was bec aus e the com pan y had run into a dispute with Kenya and he wanted to transfer his company’s business to where he was residing and reduce costs. However, it is Spacenet, a firm registered in McLean, Vi rgi ni a, th at si gn ed an agreement with the Kenyan Government.

Coalition for Constitution Implementation convener Cidi Otieno David described the decision as the epitome of impunity and that it is tantamount to rewarding corruption. He said the Sh1.4 billion payments should be stopped. “It is more saddening to note that the President went against his own words while he was the Opposition leader when he said that the government should not make such payments,” Mr Otieno said.

Chinese tourists to visit Kenya BY NATION REPORTER

Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu has been asked to keep off land affairs and allow a constitutional commission to oversee the resource. Civil society organisations led by Kenya Land Alliance national coordinator Odenda Lumumba said Mrs Ngilu should let the National Land Commission do its work. He poured cold water on the ongoing reorganisation at Ardhi House saying there is nothing new. “The cleaning was required at Ardhi house but it should not have been done the way it they did it. You clean up the register with new information and not dusting files,” said Mr Lumumba.

BY NATION REPORTER

China yesterday promised to bring to Kenya thousands of tourists. This comes even as the West maintains that Kenya is not a safe destination, having earlier issued travel warnings. “The Chinese Government is interested in the promotion and development of Kenya’s tourism sector,” said Tourism Cabinet Secretary Phyllis Kandie (below). She spoke at a press briefing brie fing aft after er a mee meeting ting with China National Tourism Administration vice-chairvice-chairman Zhifa Wang, Chinese ambassador to Kenya Liu Xianfa and other officials from the Asia n

country. The minister said during the meeting they agreed to boost tourism numbers by linking the players in both markets with each other to exchange ideas. Ms Kandie is set to visit China next week as part of a deal to woo Chinese tourists to Kenya. The agreement saw Kenya bei ng giv en “Ap pro ved Destination Status” by the Chinese Government. The Cabinet Secretary said yesterday’s meeting was a follow-up to the issues Kenya agreed to with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, who was in the country about a week ago. In 2004, the China National Tourism Administration and the Kenya Tourist Board signed a memorandum of understanding on the implementation of a plan for organised group travel by Chinese to Kenya. The ministry will embark on a drive to improve the performance of the sector, which received a major beating last week when the US, the UK, Aus tra lia an d Fra nce asked their citizens to avoid visiting Kenya over terrorism threats.

At a press conference conference in NaiNairobi, Prof Muigai passed the buck to governmen t offici als who signed the contracts. He compared himself to a funeral director, saying he was only conducting ‘last rites’ in a case whose killers are still walking free today.

He said the civil society organisation will consider what action to take as it is improper to pay shadowy contractors at a time when Kenya is facing poor economic growth. Mass action is one of the options, he added. President Kenyatta on Thursday authorised the Treasury to make the payments to two Anglo Leasing firms that had judgments against Kenya. Mr Kenyatta also ordered fresh investigations into cases involving the suspect security and information contracts.

Judge Ngugi ruled that the petition lacked merit and gave the Medical Practitioners Practitione rs and Dentists Board the green light to conduct an inquiry into their conduct, which led to the death of Gordonson Kihara Karingithi in 2002. “I find no merit in the petitioner’s case since I am satisfied that the interest of justice demands that the incident resulting in the death of Mr Kihara should be inve sti gate d and the matter brought to a close,” Judge Ngugi Ngugi ruled. She added that it would not be in the interest of the doctors or Mr Kihara’s widow, Tabitha Njeri Kihara, to have the issues in the dispute, which touch on the loss of life and professional competence, to be left hanging indefinitely.

Kirinyaga Governor Joseph Ndathi yesterday said that the buying of the Kenya Kenyan n embassy embassy in Tokyo, Japan was clean and had been approved by Government. Mr Ndathi, who at the time of the purchase was the Director of Administration in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, testified that they sent a team to Japan, which confirmed the country would get value for money in the purchase of the embassy. He was testifying in a case in which former Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Thuita Mwangi, former ambassador

to Libya Anthony Muchiri and former chargé d’affaires at the Kenya Embassy in Tokyo Allan Mburu have denie denied d fraud fraud charges in connection with the buying of the Sh1.1 billion embassy and ambassador’s residence in Japan. Had more value

Mr Ndathi said the team recommended that the purchase of land in Tokyo was strategic and had more value than other missions’. It further recommended that the ministry’s budget should be readjusted by channelling the money realised from selling Kenya’s property in Lagos and those set aside for the mis-

sions in Kampala and Kigali for the purchase of the Tokyo embassy and ambassador’s residence. On the basis of these recommendations, Mr Mwangi wrote to Treasury PS Joseph Kinyua seeking approval and allocation of funds for the purchase. “The treasury did approve the use of proceeds realised from the sale of the land in Lagos and reallocation of funds set aside for the missions in Kampala and Kigali. The finance PS further advised that the new figures will be captured in the 2009/2010 budget,”” Mr Ndathi said. budget, Hearing continues today.

ormer courts Chief Registrar Gladys Boss Shollei yesterday accused Judiciary commissioners of sending her threatening emails before she was sacked. Mrs Shollei (right) told the Court of Appeal that the process of sacking her was shallow and a conspiracy by some commissioners. Through lawyer Donald Kipkorir, Ms Shollei said her dismissal was planned early in 2012 through threatening emails from some commissioners who swore to remove her from the position at all costs. “The process was not proper, we filed emails at the High Court of which the

defence never contested their legality. Those emails were legitimate and important for the court process ,” Mr Kipkorir said. He said the emails showed an outright intention to remove Ms Shollei from the office. He told the judges that one email proposed the sacking of Ms Shollei on the basis of corruption after she refused to “play to the commissioner’s gala”. “This is what will sell, we accuse her of corruption and

procurement impropriety and that will be the end of her,” Mr Kipkorir quoted one of the emails. The Industrial Court on March 7 ruled that Ms Shollei was unfairly sacked and that she was entitled to compensation for unlawful termination and unfair loss of employment. “It is difficult to understand the shortcut taken by very eminent members of the legal profession sitting in the JSC in a situation where the mandatory procedure to be followed speaks for i tself,” Mr Justice Nduma Nduma Nderi said. The judge noted that JSC violated its own procedures of disciplining its officer and violated Mrs Shollei’s constitutional rights. However, JSC appealed against the judgment, arguing the judge applied the wrong provisions of law and considered irrelevant matters. “The judge failed to apply his mind properly to the matters in dispute,” lawyer Issa Mansur for the JSC said. Judgement Judg ement will be deliver delivered ed in July.

arathon champion Kamau Wanjiru’s widow yesterday sent a demand notice to the athlete’s Italy-based manager seeking information on all contracts signed and monies owed. Mrs Terezah Njeri Kamau threatened to go to court if Mr Federico Rosa, the manager, fails to disclose the content of contracts worth millions of shillings that Kenya’s first gold Olympic medalist in the 42 kilometre race signed. Through lawyer Ndegwa Wahome,, Ms Njeri said as the Wahome lawful widow, she had been denied access to certified copies of contracts signed by Mr Rosa on behalf of Wanjiru. She wants the documents within the next seven days or else she will move to court.

“As the heiress and the beneficiary of all the properties, contractual proceeds and any other benefits from my late husband, I am fully entitled,” she said. Ms Njeri, a mother of two, said Mr Rosa had been hired as Wanjiru’s manager sometimes in 2005 and solely managed all the contracts until May 15, 2011, when Wanjiru plunged to his death at his Muthaiga residence in Nyahururu. “We know you receive proceeds from the multiple

contracts that you entered in on behalf of my husband with different sponsors. We demand full disclosure,” she said. Prior to his shocking demise, Wanjiru was among the highest paid athletes and was in the league of Jamaica’s Usain Bolt and all-time favourite Ethiopian marathon legend Haile Gebrselassie. Unconfirmed reports put Wanjiru’s Wanjiru’ s worth at Sh500 million when he died aged 24. Yesterday, Ms Njeri, in her notice sent to Mr Rosa, Athlet-

At Allia nce, 166 candi dates scored A plain, more than the total of some counties, especially those in arid and semi-arid areas. Also topping in the number of candidates who obtained the top grade was Moi High School Kabarak where there were 126 A plains.

Kenya High had 72 A minuses, Mary Hills 67, Precious Blood 54 and Alliance Girls 77. Missing from the top schools list with high number of performers is Starehe Boys Centre, which had 43 A plains and 74 74 A minuses in last year’s KCSE examination. Another top institution which will be competing for the top slots in the universities is Nairobi School which had 73 A plains and 106 A minuses.

Overall, Nakuru, Nairobi, Kiambu and Kakamega are among counties expected to send the highest number to public universities. These counties produced the highest number of candidates with an average grade of B- (minus) and above in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam results released two months ago. Cut-off points Althoug Alth ough h can candid didate ates s who sco scored red C+ and above qualify to join universities, the cut-off for the regular programme in public universities has been set higher because of the limited number of spaces. This year, candidates were

given an opportunity to select select their university courses after the results were announced. In the past, candidates chose their preferred courses prior to sitting the exams, which means the 2013 class had the advantage of selecting courses based on their performance in last year’s KCSE. Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) further relaxed the admission rules to enable candidates to secure their first choice courses. The candidates have an option of choosing three institutions offering their first choice course, raising chances of landing their dream career. This means, for instance, a stu-

dent wishing to study medicine, as his or her first choice, will select three universities offering the programme, and if he or she misses a slot on the first, they will be considered considered in the next. KUCCPS acting chief executive John Muraguri said candidates would only be placed on their second choice programme if they fail to qualify for the first option and if there are no vacancies in all the three institutions selected under the first option. Mr Muraguri said the cut-off point would still be determined by available capacities. Admissions, he added, would be based on merit and students’ preferred choices.

And what’s what’s in a name? BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

Some of the schools registering candidates for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education stand out more for their fancy names than academic excellence. A number have fascinating names; with some named after internationally prominent people but with little to authenticate the link. Other names are simply trendy, perhaps reflecting what they stand for in the 21 century century.. A school in Migori County goes by the name Pragmatic Momentous High School. However, it was not pragmatic enough to shine in the KCSE 2013. Only one of its candidates had a C+ while 24 students scored between D and D-. In Siaya County, there is Senator Obama, suitably named after the US President whose father hailed from Kogelo. The region also has Leeds High School and Professor Karega Mutahi - named after former Education Permanent Secretary. At Sen ato r Oba ma, onl y seven students scored the

minimum university entry as 43 settled for between Cand D-. In Taita Taveta County, there is Heart Beat High School and Taita International School. A majority of their candidates attained between grade D and D-.

He undertook to rebuild Wajir High School, which is the county’s premier institution. He said it had been been earmarked for an upgrade to national status yet its infrastructure was dilapidated.

West’ Wes t’ss res espo pons nsee to insecurity is unfair

T

he reaction of the Western countries over insecurity in Kenya has triggered a lot of panic and left the nation badly exposed. At first, it was travel advisories advisories that warned tourtourists and other Wester Western n visitors about worsening security in Kenya. This was quickly followed by physical evacuation of tourists, with British tour agencies sending in planes to literally lift their nationals away to avoid possible extermination by the deadly Shabaab terrorists, who have made a name by constant violent attacks in various parts of the country. In quick succession, the US embassy based in Gigiri scaled down its operations as it called for security reinforcement; and so has the United Nations, which has asked its staff to work from home while maintaining skeleton operations. These are no ordinary reactions, at least not that we have witnessed in this country country.. Three things come to mind. One, could it be the Westerners Western ers and the UN know know something that we do not, and if that is the case, did they share it with the government? If not, then they must be unfair. Two, it may be a copycat reaction actuated by other motives, which, if it is the case, is also unfair to Kenya. Three, they may have shared the information with Government, but the matter is not being taken seriously. seriously. All three scenarios are worrisome. Terrorism is a global problem that can never be confined to one struggling nation like Kenya. Fighting it is a global venture that requires the might of the big nations, who in fact, are the cause because of the imbalances they have created in the international politico-economic sphere. But Kenya must also learn to tackle the situation in a more sober and rational manner instead of throwing tantrums. It must contain the runaway insecurity while engaging the West and other friendly nations in dealing with the situation methodically.

Her announcement that a million files that had gone missing have been found is music to the ears of many people who have been complaining about rampant corruption in Lands offices. Mrs Ngilu is promising increased efficiency. She says it will now take three days to conclude a land transaction, instead of 20, before she ordered the registry’s registry’ s closure to reorganise operations and flush out the cartels that have over the years become synonymous with the ministry ministry.. This is encouraging and will hopefully set the stage for the l ong-awaite ong-awaited d digitisation of the registry and other services. However, However, it is not possible that the desired overhaul will be achieved overnight. What assurance does she have, for instance, that once the hired personnel leave, the clerks and other staff will not revert to their old crooked ways? Also, what is being done in the registries in the 47 47 counties to bring them in line with what has been done at the headquarters? To concretise any gains, there is a need to prepare for future challenges, including the threat of hackers, who thrive in breaching digital systems. A PUBLICATION OF NATION MEDIA GROUP

If Uhu Uhuru ru is hav havin ing g sl slee eeple pless ss ni nig ght hts, s, this is sur surely ely of his own making P resident Kenyatta is surely enduring sleepless nights, as he intimated last week. I suspect, however, that if the President is feeling the pressures of high office, it is a situation of his own making. Instead of putting systems to ensure that the government governme nt purrs along smoothly like a well-oiled machine, he is wilfully moving to place all the burdens on his own shoulders. The event last Thursday day where he unveiled the new governance structure was the clearest indication yet that het wants to recreate the Jomo KenyattaDaniel arap Moi system, where all power and authority reposes in the hands of one individual. It was billed as a delegation of Executive authority on the County Commissioners, but what many might have missed was that it was not just the central government moving to dehorn the country governors and the Executive, Legislative and administrative arms of the devolved units; it was a about the President moving to neuter all other government arms so that he can recreate the one-man rule of his political mentors. It was emphasised that the new county commissioners — resplendent in their colonial-era pith helmets, designed to protect the delicate brains of Her Majesty’s representatives

from the equatorial sun — were direct appointees of the President and answerable directly to him. There would be no intermediaries between the new proconsul and the President; and within their counties, they would exercise absolute power over everything and anything including security, transport, roads, health and every other government responsi bility to the exclusion exclusion of the line Cabinet Secretaries. President Kenyatta actually used two top government officials present — Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau and Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo — to illustrate why the administrators must be in charge charge on the ground ground because the bosses are busy busy elsewhere in Nairobi. He seemed to have forgotten that Mr Kamau would be represented represented in the councountry by resident engineers supervising infrastructure projects, while Mr Kimaiyo has in every nook and

cranny of this Republic a full complement of county, district, location and station police commanders. Now some pumped-up county commissioner with little clue of roads or other specialised task has been given licence to ride roughshod over the designated officials on various departments because he reports directly to the President. In turn, the President is not just the Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief mander-in-Ch ief of Defence Forces, Forc es, but also the substantial Minister for National Security, National Treasury, Provincial Administration, Roads, Heath, Education, Transport, Labour, Sports and every other docket. No wonder he cannot sleep soundly. His ministers have been reduced to little more than wallflowers and praise-singers, praise-singer s, who pepper every conversation with “I have been directed by the President,” and in public salutations are even bringing back that Nyayo-era redundancy of “our beloved President”. We all praised the PresiPresident and his deputy, Mr William Ruto, Ruto, for largely largely making good on the pledge to appoint a Cabinet of nonpoliticians. However, most of the highly-acclaimed corporate chiefs, technocrats, academics and professionals appointed to the Cabinet have been reduced to hapless passengers, save for

one or two who notably exercise real power and seem to enjoy the President’s confidence. Maybe Mr Kenyatta is keen to demonstrate the image of an effective, hands-on President, but he is courting trouble because he must then take personal responsibility not just for successes, but also failures. National security, for instances, provides a good example where clueless Defence and Interior ministers have not just become the butt of jokes, jokes, but at critical critical times of terrorist attacks have deflected the buck upwards to State House. We saw last week the President issuing an edict for payment on the controversial Anglo Leasing scam not long after the Treasury had gone through the charade of seeking Parliaments’ approval, and the Deputy President had assured Kenyans that no payment would be made without without authority of the people’s representatives. Did the President pause to consider that he might not have the power to order payments outside the established financial management structures? No, because he imagines that his power is absolute.

SECURITY THE KEY | | Robert Shaw

THE CUTTING EDGE

Promo Prom otin ting g and ma marrke ketin ting g tou ouri rism sm no solut so lution ion to in indu dustr stry’ y’ss wan aning ing for ortun tunes es S ome of the pillars of the Kenyan economy are undergoing strong headwinds: Tea prices have been depressed or dropping for almost a year; coffee prices have fallen; a lot of agriculture is set to suffer from inadequate rainfall; rainfall; tourism is suffering badly due largely largely,, but not wholly, to security and terrorism related incidents and threats. Kenya’s attraction as a tourism destination has long been regarded as one of the country’s natural and precious assets. Visitor numbers and revenue have grown at a respectable, although often erratic, rate over the years. There has been an ongoing debate as to how we develop and promote this resource. When one looks at the overall world tourism cake and the tiny morsel we have of it the potential looks positively appetising. A most compelling argument that comes up again and again has been that one of the keys to success is to market, market and market. Not only does one promote the destination and the product, but this strategy helps to deflect or reduce any negatives and misconceptions regardless of whether they are real or perceived. Another one is the need to nurture, take care of, and indeed, conserve the product. The surge in poaching is a sober reminder of the enormity of this task ahead. But of late, tourism growth has been stopped in its tracks

Tourists on the nature trail in Nyeri: Marketing is not enough.

and we have witnessed a contraction in numbers and revenue. Tourism numbers fell by 15 per cent last year and revenue by 2.13 per cent. Taking into account such factors as inflation, the real decline in revenue is much more. So far this year, the picture is not very encouraging. If one breaks these figures down, one will see that some areas like coast tourism have suffered even more, general morale is low and the projections not good. Last week, the Kenya Tourism Board outlined a plan to put tourism on a recovery path. Its main plank is to allocate and spend more on promotion and marketing. Laudable though that may appear, it is necessary to ask some hard questions as to whether it is realistic to be trying to put tourism back onto a growth route.

Tourism is exceedingly sensitive, indeed vulnerable, to issues to do with insecurity, terrorism, political fluidity and so on. It is much more sensitive and fickle than most other areas of our economy. Prospective or potential tourists shy away at their very sign. We saw this in the months after the 2007/2008 post-election trauma. But that was arguably something we were able to assuage given time and hard work. But terrorism and security related issues is a different and much more complex animal. In reality it is clear we have some way to go in this daunting and complex multi-pronged challenge. When we see official acknowledgement that we are struggling to cope, then that is quite an indictment. We, therefore, need to accept the reality that tourism faces a tough environment for the foreseeable future and that more money spent on marketing is tantamount to introducing the law of diminishing returns. In short, it is not necessarily money wisely spent. So what now for tourism? At a macro level, Kenya must seriously upgrade and make more professional and effective its whole security system from intelligence gathering to its defence and police forces. At the moment, it is an embarrassing shadow of what it should be and some public pronouncements maintaining otherwise are hollow and are

not seriously believed. Kenya is not alone in having serious security threats and it should eagerly glean as much as possible from countries such as Israel on what to do. This will take time, money and considerable zeal, but is the only realistic way forward. At the tourism level, the country, government and players must take a dispassionate look at its prospects for the foreseeable future and accept that there will be significant consolidation and even contraction. After all, we are talking about a proactive surgical strategy as opposed to a knee-jerk reactive lurch from one crisis to another. Pleas from the tourism industry for more money on promotion and other financial support are not the answer. Any strategy must assess strengths and weaknesses of the industry at both a macro and micro level. As regards the former, we we may identify conference and domestic tourism as areas we should focus on more. Coast hotels may need to consider working harder and be more innovative on these two options. The tourism industry is no different from most other sectors when it comes to evaluating its performance and undergoing change in order to recover and become vibrant once again.

BY THE WATCHMAN IS KIMAIYO SERIOUS? While he strongly supports the measures being taken to combat terrorism, Sam Muthamia is unhappy with the way Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo is going about it. He would like Kimaiyo to “please, explain the correlation between tints on the windows of private motor vehicle and terrorism.” The police, he adds, should protect hotels and churches, through enhancing intelligence-gathering, “instead of harassing innocent motorists and extorting bribes”. TAKE OVER STATE HOUSE. Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho and others talking about taking over the national assets in their counties should just try invading State House, the Central Bank branch and other parastatals instead of the Kenya Ports Authority and the ferries, and see what will happen, warns Pat Gitau. The governors and the members of the county assemblies, Pat adds, should not get carried away by their titles and should instead concentrate on serving their people. His contact is [email protected].

USE RAZOR WIRE. Why can’t the government erect a razor wire fence on the border with Somalia all the way from Mandera to Lamu to prevent illegal entry of arms and terrorists? asks Maiko Sunzuki, alarmed about the increasing incidence of fatal attacks in Nairobi and other towns. “The entry points to be opened should be jointly manned by police, Immigration officers and the Army. Then we should pull our troops out of Somalia.” His contact is [email protected].

GHOSTS STILL HAUNTING US. President Kenyatta’s order to pay the shadowy Anglo Leasing companies Sh1.4 billion is the latest confirmation that the “ghosts behind the scandal seem to have outsmarted us”, remarks Francis Maimba. But as the President rightly admits that it is not the right thing to do, Francis says there should be even more determination than ever before to exorcise the ghosts that have, so far, defied three governments. “We need to know who these faceless creatures are.” His contact is Francis.Maimba@finlays.co.ke.

Low Lo w rat rates es ar aree in in the the int inter eres estt of of bank bankss too too

D

iscussions about interest rates are often more emotive than those of other market prices. That is the case because, being the price of money, interest rates have the unique characteristic of simultaneously evoking hope and fear. That speaks to the special attributes that interest rates have as a price, in three respects. First, interest rates facilitate the balancing of the the households’ desire desire to save and businesses to invest. Second, they facilitate the economy’ economy’s s stabilisation given that they are influenced by the Central Bank’s monetary policy stance. Third, even investors in equities have their eyes on interest rates because they base their decisions on share prices prices and anticipated earnings. Given the multi-stakeh multi-stakeholder older interest and influence on this price — effectively making the banking industry just one of the players — our approach as an industry to ensure the economy’s interest are adequately served has been one of collaboration. Such collaborative endeavour was evident in the recent joint initiative by the National Treasury, the Central Bank of Kenya and the banking industry to develop both interim and long-term

proposals to reduce the cost of credit while meeting investors’ expectations. The banking industry is alive to the fact that high interest rates adversely affect economic growth, and consequently erode the ease of doing business. We are also conscious of the direct relationship between high high interest rates rates and nonperforming loans. A stable banking environment is not only good for banks; it is also good for the economy. An efficient and stable banking environment is characterised by growth in deposits and lending, and ultimately improved returns on investment. Economic prospects Instability,, on the other hand, has a ripple Instability effect across all other sectors and could adversely affect the country’s long-term economic prospects. It is in this respect that when interest rates sometimes have to inevitably increase pursuant to seeking market stability — for instance under high inflation circumstances or a volatile foreign exchange market — they should be seen as a necessary evil. Fortunately, a high interest environment is not permanent. Once market stability is attained, rates trend downwards as has

been seen in the recent past. But even as interest rates gradually ease downwards, downwar ds, a search for solutions that will ensure the trend is sustained is at the core of the collaborative action alluded to. The banking industry is now in a position to reward good borrowers — who are typically customers with a good credit track record. This is in many ways promoted by the Credit Information Sharing undertaking that is increasingly enabling banks to better price their loan products based on the individual. individual. Another promising intervention is the adoption of a transparent pricing mechanism to facilitate standardised disclosure on the cost of borrowing to loan applicants. Currently banks are required to disclose the Total Cost of Credit to loan applicants. Following a two-month piloting process, banks during the course of July 2014 will have transitioned fully to the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) framework,, which will enable customers framework to easily compare pricing and make even more informed decisions.

To the editor Rugut’s transfer from Rugut’s NYS to Sports unfair The transfer of Mr Kiplimo Rugut from NYS to the Ministry of Sports is unfair to a long-serving civil servant. For those not in the know, Mr Rugut was the PC of Central during President Kibaki’s tenure. At the heigh heightt of the Mungik Mungikii insurgence, Mr Rugut worked closely with Security Minister John Michuki in mobilising residents against the killer gang. For the 10 years he was PC, no scandal was heard about him. Mr Rugut’s replacement, Mr Nelson Githinji, at one time acted as Comptroller of State House, but left in unclear circumstances. He was at one time a private company manager, and probably has no other experience in the public service, especially NYS, a quasi-military outfit. MWAI WACHIRA, Nairobi

Let’s pay Anglo Leasing Let’s companies and move on The debate on whether Kenya should pay Anglo Leasing is becoming a great threat to national development. True, Anglo Leasing firms did not deliver any security services they had signed contracts with Kenya to deliver. This was as a result of impunity by the people mandated to sign on behalf of Kenyans. It is equally unfortunate that we now have to pay for something we never acquired. Do we blame the President? I do not think so. We had our our day in court court in London and Geneva. We lost the battle. Our legal team failed us. It is a fact that the money must be paid. Going back to court would just rob us of more money. DAVID MWAURA, Maseno

GOR ERRED: I would like to thank the Nation for letting us know what befelll Gor Mahia’s long-time befel long-time defender, Nasio. I am still s hocked by the revelation that Nasio, who suffered a nose injury in a match, could be neglect neglected ed by the team team manage manage-ment. Not even a single cent from the club has been spent on meeting his medical expenses, which amount to Sh150,000. The club’s negligence is inhumane. Such cases should be unheard of in a club that boasts of millions of supporters and a series of achievements.

ne of the six Education For All (EFA) (EFA) goals reached reached by the 164 countries that met in Dakar, Senegal, in 2000 was to ensure universal primary education by 2015. Kenya has been making progress towards this end with the FPE programme rolled out in 2003. Even though Kenya is unlikely to reach the goal by next year, it’s on track. It is, therefore, disappointing to note that one of the rules set for this years’ Kenya Music Festival does not promote this universal education, but instead discriminates against some students. According Accor ding to the festiv festival al guidelines 2014, lower primary (Class 1 to 3) pupils eligible to participate in the festival should be aged between 6 and 8 years. Those in upper primary (Class 4 to 8) are to be between the ages of 9 and 13 years. Age bracket Obeying this rule would, therefore, mean that any pupil outside the stipulated age brackets is automatically locked out of the competition, regardless of whether they would like to participate. This age rule doesn’t make sense in a country that is doing all it can to increase enrolment in schools and to ensure that those who enrol, despite their age, progress through the system and complete the education cycle.

This can be due to a number of factors. Perhaps poor children live far from school and their parents cannot afford transport, in which case they have to wait for the child to become old enough to walk the distance to school — hence the delay in enrolment. The problem is worse for girls as the parents are also concerned about their safety. Another factor factor that leads to late enrolment is when the parents themselves have not been to school and so are not well-informed about the importance of enrolling at the right age. Poor nutrition leading to poor health of children also delays their enrolment.

Clearly, the student who is enrolled late isn’t at all to blame. Consequently, punishing this child by keeping them off extra-curricular activities they want to participate in is unwise. It would help if education policymakers took care to ensure that any regulations they come up with are learner-friendly and promote the desirable end of encouraging children to get into and remain in school and not making them feel left out on account of age, gender or social-economic status. Kenya Music Festival organisers should, therefore, lead the way by immediately doing away with this stifling, discriminatory law. GLORIA MWANIGA MINAGE, Baringo

Kenyans must be spared the indignity of feeding on pets In January, we heard of a 73-year-old woman from Turkana County resorted to roasting puppies to feed her five famished and orphaned grandchildren. She was on her way to hunt for relief food when she spotted a dog with five puppies. Since relief food is never guaranteed, she took two puppies for food. In Baringo County, a family last week feasted on cat to dull the hunger pangs. The 35-years-old woman, her two-year-old daughter and 80-year-old mother had gone without food for days, prompting them to resort to the pet. Since independence, Kenya has never gone without some horrifying news of families feeding on foods considered taboo in their communities.

Today, drought and hunger stalks many parts of our country, forcing herders to leave their homes in search of water and pasture. As a result, many schools have either not reopened, or have only a handful of pupils turning up, since they move with their parents. Many farmers have lost their herds or experienced crop failure. Thousands are at risk of hunger. According Accord ing to the Constitution Constitution howeve however, r, all all Kenyans Kenyans have the right to food. It is the government to ensure its citizens get clean water, security, health and education, all of which prove elusive in drought areas. Fifty years of independence is long enough for the government to save us the shame of eating rodents. KAMAU GITAU, Kiambu

Government has no plans to increase university fees, Kaimenyi says BY NATION REPORTER

The government yesterday moved to avert a university students’ strike by announcing that it had not sanctioned fee increment at any public university. Cabinet Secretary for Education Prof Jacob Kaimenyi said that reports about planned university fee increment are misleading and inaccurate. “Any such increase must be initiated by University Councils, deliberated

upon through a consultative process which should involve stakeholders and approved by the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology,” he said. He added in a press statement that no such process has been started to result in increment of fees at public universities. He said that stakeholders in this process would include Parliament, Senate, Commission for University Education, Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service

Board, University students’ leadership and parents. .

Any such incr increase ease must be initiat initiated ed by by univ univers ersity ity councils ...” Prof Kaimenyi, Education CS

“The Media have carried reports attributed to some stakeholders as expressing concern that the government intends to increase University fees for students attending public universities,” he said. Prof Kaimenyi said that the Universities Act, 2012 provides for the setting up of the Universities Fund in consultation with the public universities and the maximum differentiated unit cost for the academic programmes offered in public Universities.

“Vice chancellors of Public Universities have been working on a model of differentiated unit cost for financing academic programmes in public universities especially through HELB,” he said. Prof Kaimenyi added that the Kenya Association of Technical Training Institutions (KATTI) has also initiated a similar exercise to determine the cost of academic programmes under Technical, Vocation Education and Training (TVET) Institutions.

he cash allocated to police is only enough to fuel two litres per vehicle, officers said yesterday as they lobbied for more money. Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo Kimaiyo told told the National Administration and Security Committee Committee that the allocation of Sh143 million for the Divisional County Police Service is “grossly inadequate.” If divided among among the 1,200 police vehicles, each will receive two litres pe r day. “A division for us is a district. What about the police station? There is none. So do you accumulate the two litres to send to a police station station or an Administration Administr ation Police camp?,” asked Mr Kimaiyo. Corruption “As you accumulate, you have to continue serving the public. What do you use to serve the public within this period that you have to accumulate before you get a drum to send to the police station?” he asked. He said this encourages corruption within the police service and contributes to cases where police ask the public to fuel their vehicles to respond to an emergency emergency.. Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Josep h Ole Ole Lenku howe however ver said that the vehicles the ministry is leasing for the police have a separate arrangement for their fuelling. Mr Lenku and Mr Kimaiyo spoke about the shortfall in the allocation of fuel as they made a presentation to the committee on their budget for the

They said that despite the seemingly large allocation of Sh83.1 billion, the ministry still has a shortfall of Sh63 billion that could seriously affect the provision of security in the country. MPs accused Treasury of failing to realise the urgency of funding the security sector . “The sector’s ceilings have not been fair to security. We may reallocate as you as you are saying but the very fact is that the ceiling has been inadequate ...is a national disaster,” said Rongo MP Dalmas Otieno. Committee chairman Asman Kamama said in the current circumstances, where the threat of terror looms large, Treasury should not treat the security sector as it has in the past. “We cannot think the same way. way. We We really must change things. It cannot be the same old way with these kinds of challenges,” said Mr Kamama. He said if Treasury is not responsive, the committee would identify them as a “part of the conspiracy that is out to ensure there is insecurity in this country.”

Now pill that helps prevent HIV sparks fears of rise in infections

Police seize seize 25kg ivory from van BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

Truvada has become popular with gays and other US groups that are vulnerable

Five people, two of them foreigners, have been arrested in connection with elephant tusks seized from a van on the Mom basa-Nairobi hig hway. Mariakani OCPD David Kerina said two tusks weighing 25 kilogrammes were hidden near the chassis of the van that was travelling from Samburu to Mombasa. Two suspects were arrested in the vehicle and two others, a Congolese and an Arab, in Mom basa. Another, who is said to be the van’s owner, was arrested in Kangundo. Mr Kerina said at Mariakani Police Station that officers patrolling the highway received information of a suspicious vehicle.

aking one single pill of Truvada daily may help prevent HIV, but the medicine’s effect on the fight against the epidemic continues to spark debate. Much of the debate has played out on the Internet and social media as tempers flare over promiscuity, erratic condom use and the potential to either eliminate or worsen the stubborn HIV/Aids epidemic, which has killed 36 million people worldwide in the past three decades. The drug in question is Truvada, an oblong blue pill that combines two anti-retroviral medications — tenofovir and emtricitabine. “In the medical community, this is more of a controversial, divisive issue than I ever thought it would be,” said Ray Martins, chief medical officer at the Whitman-Walker Clinic. Martins told AFP a month’s supply of pills costs between $1,200 and $2,000, which is usually covered by health insurance. Side effects are rare but can include nausea, bloating and diarrhoea. Made by Gilead Sciences in California, Truvada was already available as a medication for HIV-positive patients when it was approved by US regulators in 2012 as a prevention strategy for people who are HIV-negative but engage in sex with HIV-positive partners, or who inject drugs. On Wednesday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first formal guidelines for doctors, urging them to recommend the

prevention pill for patients at substantial risk of getting HIV. The daily pill should be used in conjunction with condoms as a way to cut back on new HIV infections, which have stayed steady at some 50,000 new annual cases in the United States in recent years, officials said. Truvada ‘whores’

“This is a position I fear the CDC will come to regret,” said Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF).

BACKGROUND

More than 1.6m living with Aids An estimated 1.6 million people live with HIV. Around 1.1 million children have been orphaned by Aids and in 2011 nearly 62,000 people died from Aidsrelated illnesses. Kenya’s HIV prevalence peaked during the late 1990s and, acaccording to the latest figures, has dramatically reduced to around 6.2 per cent. This de-

cline is thought to be partially due to an increase in education and awareness. Currently, there about 400,000 Kenyans on ARVs but according to the World Health Organisation, more than 600,000 Kenyans live with HIV and should be taking the drugs. - Angela Oketch

PrEP, whereby healthy people take anti-retrovirals as a way to prevent HIV infection. AHF spokesman Ged Kenslea said Truvada was available in AHF’s pharmacies, and that the group did not oppose PrEP if a doctor and patient agree it could be useful in a given situation. “The government’s wholesale endorsement, we believe, is dangerous and will result in needless new infection,” Kenslea explained. Human nature, the inability to take pills daily even among the most responsible adults, and the rise in syphilis among gay men are all reasons cited for concern. The backlash against Truvada -- the only pill presently approved for HIV prevention -- has led some gay men to

speak out in favour of it, even describing themselves online as “Truvada whores” in a tonguein-cheek gesture. One of them is Bradley, 28, a San Francisco technology worker who tweets as @TruvadaWhore and asked that his last name not be published. published. “I am adamantly against slut shaming and policing of people’ people’s s consensual behaviour,” he said in an interview. “PrEP may not work for or be accessible to everyone, but I want to celebrate its effectiveness and fight stigma.” Studies have shown that when taken regularly, Truvada is effective against HIV transmission by up to 92 per cent, the CDC said. However, when patients failed to take it daily, its effectiveness dropped steeply. As to whether PrEP encourages riskier sex, Whitman-Walker clinical research director Richard Elion said studies on thousands of people have shown it does not. “We are not seeing more syphilis in the people on PrEP studies.” Still, relatively few people are taking Truvada for prevention. A Gilead spokeswoman said that as of September 2013, reports from half of US retail pharmacies showed 2,319 people had started taking it for PrEP.

Farmers want KTDA board disbanded in bonus row BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

He was addressing a funds raiser at Igoji Catholic Church in South Imenti sub-county on Sunday. He said the new national government structure should also not interfere with the police. “We will not allow the commissioners to interfere with the police. We will acknowledge their powers to coordinate but not to interfere,” he said. The county boss asked the commissioners to keep off politics and concentrate concentrat e on serving the people.

despite an announcement by KTDA that farmers under the agency’s managed factories would not receive the payout. But KTDA chairman Peter Kanyago told the Press two weeks ago at Iria-ini tea factory in Othaya, that directors were picked by farmers when a tea factory has a turnover of more than Sh1 billion. “These directors are farmers’ representatives. They are elected according to zones and we should not politicise it,” he added.

There are no orders from a bove except the efficient delivery of service and you know the functions that you are supposed to be doing. “And we are now giving you responsibilities to perform those functions and to deliver services to our people.” He based his decision on Article 132 (3b) of the Constitution and Section 7 of the National Government Coordination Act, 2013, which provide guidelines on how the President may coordinate and delegate functions.

Economic growth The situation is expected to offer the much-needed catalyst for economic growth by creating demand for goods and services. “Future growth will be supported by

this population boom … the urbanisation is driving the emergence of the middle-class,” said Mr Trevor Ncube, chief economist at the bank. More and more people are trooping to cities in search for jobs. By 2040, over half of the population on the continent will be living in urban areas. But the growth, if not matched by investments investments in infrastructure infrastructure upgrades, could pose serious challenges

for urban planners, the bank warns. While popul population ation conce concentratio ntrations ns in in cities can be the foundation of rapid economic growth, cities can provide serious challenges to governments regarding food, jobs, housing, sanitation, transport, education and health care. The bank says over half of the population in the two cities live in informal settlements while millions more cannot access basic sanitation services.

Sh3bn set aside to save forests EAC seeks to reverse the destruction of forests that has seen streams flowing into major rivers reduce BY GEORGE SAYAGIE

T

he East African Community member states have set aside Sh3.6 billion to rehabilitate water catchment areas in the Lake Victoria, Mara River and the Nile basins. The five-year project, to be spearheaded by EAC’s Regional Policy Steering Committee, is a fresh bid to reverse the destruction of forests that has seen streams flowing into major rivers reduce drastically. This has raised fears of water shortage for wildlife and communi-

ties living downstream. Lake Victoria Basin Commission deputy executive secretary Telly Muramira said the depletion of forests had made the region susceptible to the effects of climate change. “East African Community region is predicted to experience greater impacts than other regions due to its great vulnerability and lower adaptive capacity,, like short rains in the past capacity few years in Kenya ravaged some parts of the country with massive flooding, which hadn’t been witnessed since the 1960s,” he said. Twelve rivers draining into lakes Victori a and Nakuru, and servin g the Maasai Mara and Serengeti ecosystems, have been affected by the depletion of forests. Mr Muramira told a three-day convention in Narok Town that the five countries had initiated a project to reduce the effects of climate change, strengthen the sustainability of trans-boundary fresh water ecosystems and increase the supply

of water beyond national boundaries in partner states. Narok Governor Samuel Tunai, who opened the workshop, said climate change was already having a significant impact on food availabil-

ity, affecting wildlife, human beings and livestock downstream of River Mara, the Nile and the Lake Victoria basin. “The adverse effects of human activities in water catchment areas has led to crop failure and loss of livestock, reducing food security and impact on tourism in the EAC regions,” said Mr Tunai. He said forests had an important role to play in purifying air, improved water quality, reduced soil erosion and provision of wood. They were also homes of endangered wild animals. “My government has stepped up measures to reduce effects of climate change which is affecting main components of our regional economy by increasing forest cover in the county and restoration of the Mau forest complex,” said Mr Tunai. Mau forest is the biggest water tower in the region and its destruction threatened the survival of humans and wildlife in Maasai Mara and Serengeti game reserves, he warned.

Some 1,000 new schools are built annually, which creates a need for 10,000 more teachers, a number that the government cannot sustain, according to the MP MP.. This year alone, the Teachers Service Commission requires Sh100 billion to pay salaries due to rapid construction of new schools in the country. “The government should cut the wage bill by improving on the already existing schools and desist from introducing new schools as this will alternatively boost the education levels,” levels,” he said. He spoke at the weekend at St Lazarus Primary School in Rarieda constituency, Siaya County, during the opening of a Sh6.4 million classroom that was funded by the CDF.

DPP seeks title deed in Moi land case BY NATION CORRESPONDENT

A court has been asked to compel four traders to prove that they own a property that former President Moi allegedly sold to a company. Mr Simon Kiprono Laboso, Mr Mohammed Nur, Mr Macdonald Lijoodi Makaka and Mr Mohammed Hassan are accused of forging forging a title deed for the property that Mr Moi is accused of selling to Tulip Properties at a Sh25 million in 1996. The four have denied the forgery claim, but the DPP wants them to be forced to produce evidence they have for ownership of the property. Mr Tobiko has further requested the court to compel Mr Laboso to be a state witness against the other three accused persons.

However, defence lawyers urged the court to reject the DPP’s request, which they said would be unconstitutional and a breach of the accused persons’ rights if granted. The lawyers also urged presiding magistrate to strike out a notice by the DPP requiring the four traders to provide him with original title documents of the land which is in Embakasi, Nairobi. They further asked the court to expunge from its records a bundle of 120 documents filed by the DPP’s office. The defence team argued that the Constitution requires the prosecution to provide accused persons with evidence it intends to rely on to enable them prepare their defences. The defence also argued that no

one should be compelled to give incriminating evidence against oneself. The lawyers said the DPP failed to supply the four traders with all the evidence he intended to rely on. “The DPP sent to us 120 documents which we have not read and requires us to furnish him with their originals otherwise he has threatened to use photocopies,” Mr Kamau Karori, one of the defence lawyers submitted. He said the a director of Tulip, Mr Jaswin Singh Rai, had admitted that he did not have documents to prove ownership of the property which the four say they were allocated in 1988. The court will deliver a ruling on May 29.

The county government has set aside Sh150 million for construction of roads. Governor Okoth Obado (above) yesterday said each constituency would have two roads. The governor said more than 200 kilometres would be opened up to enhance the movement of goods and services. He told traders that a further Sh28.5 million had been allocated to fencing off 100 markets in the county. He spoke at Otho in Nyatike sub-county during ground breaking for a new road.

Principal judge Richard Mwongo said that Mr Wambora Wambor a is still the the governor governor until a case filed by a group of residents from that region is heard and determined. Justice Mwongo s aid this was what he meant when he issued an order last last Friday stopping the swearing-in of deputy governor Dorothy Nditi and suspending Mr Wambora’s Wambora ’s second impeachment by the Senate. He said the court reached that decision based on the

facts and pleadings presented to him by 35 Embu residents, who had also attached 35,000 signatures collected by an official of the council of elders from the region. “The court made its ruling based on on facts facts and pleadings; the intention was to enable maintenance of the status quo.

Six suspects in the murder of former Juja MP George Thuo should remain in detention to protect evidence, the Director of Public Prosecutions has told a trial court. In statements filed at the High Court yesterday, the DPP argues that the need to safeguard crucial evidence in the murder case overrides the rights of the accused hence they should not be released on bail. It was the second time the public prosecutor was opposing the release of Mr Paul Wainaina Boiyo, Mr Christopher Lumbasio, Mr Andrew Karanja Ngugi, Ms Esther Ndinda Mulinge and Ms Ruth Watahi alias At lanta. Some witnesses were yet to testify, according to the prosecution. It was highly likely that the suspects would interfere with witnesses and their evidence, according to Mr Maxwell Otieno and Mr Martin Nyaguto, investigators. The accused persons had applied for bail after their initial request was declined. A judge is scheduled to deliver a ruling on the new request today.

A colonel claiming to speak on behalf of the army declared that parliament had been suspended. “We, members of the army and revolutionaries revolutiona ries (former rebels), announce the suspension of the General National Congress,” said Mokhtar Fernana, reading out a statement broadcast on two private television channels. Late today, the Libyan government proposed an initiative aimed at saving the country from plunging into civil war, calling on the disputed parliament to go into recess. The statement on the government website said that the General National Congress, or parliament, should “take a recess after the vote on the 2014 budget and until new parliamentary elections”. The budget vote had been expected to take place this week amid a dramatic spike in lawlessness in Libya’s two largest cities. Earlier today, private television channel Libya International was hit by rockean army statement. “At least four rockets struck the channel’s offices. There was material damage but no victims,” said a journalist speaking on condition of anonymity anonymity..

onors are meeting at a conference in O slo, Norway, today to raise $1.26 billion to avert a looming humanitarian catastrophe in the conflict-ridden South Sudan. As the talks started, Norway announced a $63 million aid package to South Sudan. The United Nations has warned of a widespread famine in South Sudan if fighting between the government and rebel groups does not stop. It says 3.7 million people — more than a third of the population — are at risk of starvation in the world’s youngest nation, where has thousands of people have been killed and more than 1.2 million forced to leave their homes. “We fear that the crisis will worsen in the next months,” months,” said Norwegian Foreign Minister Boerge Brende in a statement as Oslo announced the $63 million (46 million euro) package. The UN says it needs $1.8 billion to fund humanitarian aid through to the end of March 2015, and only $536

million has been secured so far. “If the conflict continues, half of South Sudan’s 12 million people will either be displaced internally, internally, refugees abroad, starving or dead by the year ’s end,”” UN Secretary General Ban Kiend, moon said last week. Norway,, which sent $17 million to Norway South Sudan at the beginning of the year, is hosting a conference to try to raise funds and find ways to improve the delivery of humanitarian assistance there. The event will be co-chaired by Mr Brende and UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos. “The first rains have arrived and the window for bringing in aid by road is almost shut. Expensive airlifts might be the onl only y answ answer er unti untill the dry seaso season n returns,” noted Vincent Lelei, the head of the UN Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in South Sudan. “We want the roads to be used when they are still open, open,”” he said. South Sudan Foreign Minister Barnaba Marial expressed hopes that the conference “can raise enough enough assistance to avert avert famine which is going to affect three quarters of our people.”

Zimbabweans use 28m Zimbabweans condoms a year: council BY KITSEPILE NYATHI

NATION Correspondent HARARE, Monday

JUBA, Tuesday

As So ut h Su da n pe ac e deal continues to shatter, rebels headed by former Vice President Dr Riek Machar have seized an army base in the oilrich Upper Nile State. The rebels attacked and overan Mathiang locality in a new offensive, forcing the army to withdraw, army spokesman Col Philip Aguer said today today.. “The rebels have violated the peace process to take over Mathiang three days ago. Communication was difficult, no network, so we did not get the update immediately,” Col Aguer said. Rebel spokesman Lul Ruach confirmed his forces had taken control of Mathiang, but argued that their action was aimed at avoiding security gaps after the army withdrew.

Zimbabwe says it distributed more than 28 million condoms in 2013 compared to 25 million given out the previous year as it intensifies the fight against HIV infections. National Aids Council spokesperson Madeline Dube said the increase in the number of distributed condoms was an indication that more people were having protected sex. “It is true that more that 28 million condoms were distributed last year up from 25 million distributed in 2012,” she told a local paper. “It is a clear sign that there

is behavior change among the country’s sexually active population.” Ms Dube said they were encouraging those who could not be faithful to one partner to constantly use condoms. “We however want to urge condom users to use them correctly in order to achieve the interned goal,” she said. Zimbabwe has seen its HIV prevalence rate going down 18 percent in 2008 to the current 15 percent. An estimate d 1.1 million people are estimated to be living with HIV. Of that number 980,061 are adults. The country has embarked on a number of aggressive campaigns to reduce new HIV infections. They include male circumcision where the government expects 1.3 million men to go under the knife. About 200 000 have been circumcised since last year.

BIG FIELD | Twelve political party candidates are competing for the presidential seat

‘Missing’ are terror suspects, says Rwanda

Malawi’s poll Malawi’s bod bo dy pl pled edg ges free elections President in trouble over Cashgate as her rivals accuse her of abusing state resources, bribery LILONGWE, Monday

A

s Malawians go to the polls to elect their president, lawmakers and local government leaders, the country’s electoral governing body on Monday declared its readiness to ensure peaceful tripartite elections. About 7.5 7.5 million registered voters voters out of Malawi’s estimated 15 million population will be casting their votes on Tuesday, in the country’s fifth elections since transition to multiparty democracy in 1994. In a statement to the media, the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) expressed happiness on how the preparations for the elections have gone so far from the participating political parties to other stakeholders.

“The Commission wishes to congratulate all the contesting candidates, their political parties and followers for the successful and peaceful campaign. It has been a peaceful campaign process where we did not record incidences of violence as has been the case in some past elections,” the electoral body said in a statement. “We look towards this as an achievement. An achievement that should recognize the maturity of political parties, civil society organizations, and the media,” the statement added. The electoral body has since hoped that the spirit shown so far ahead of the elections will continue during voting, counting and the announcement of results, adding that there is need to maintain peace, law and order in the country. Twelve political party candidates are competing for the presidential seat with 193 parliament seats and 444 local government seats to be won. The election campaigns have been peaceful despite a few pockets of violence. Meanwhile, Malawi’s 64-year-old

first woman leader could also face a backlash from voters over her efforts efforts to reform the economy, which had earlier won international plaudits. A campaign ad on state television television MBC shows an old clip of IMF chief Christine Lagarde praising Banda as a mature leader fit to rule Malawi. But her austerity reforms included a sharp devaluation of the kwacha currency which hit the poor hard in a country where nearly half of the 15 million citizens live on less than a dollar a day. “A lot of economic measures that she has taken, that

have been lauded by the international community in many respects, have eroded her domestic support,” said researcher Aditi Lalbahadur of the South African Institute of International Affairs. Blantyre voter Nickson Simango agreed. “We don’t want Banda to rule this country again, things will only get worse,” worse,” he said. And of course Cashgate Cashgate has given given ammunition to Banda’s rivals. They accuse her of abusing state resources for her campaign and of vote buying by doli doling ng out moto motorcyc rcycles les and bags of the staple maize meal. (Xinhua)

Rwandan police have dismissed a rights report accusing the state of forced disappearances, saying there were “no missing” people but that they had arrested dozens as part of anti-terrorism operations. The US-based Human Rights Watch said Frid ay it had docu mented an increasing number of people who have been forcibly disappeared or have been reported missing since March. But late Saturday, Rwanda’s police called the report “false and unfounded”, and said that they had arrested more than 35 people alleged to be involved in a “conspiracy against established government and terror activities”. Accusations are false

“There are no missing persons and the accusations are false, baseless and have no evidence,” police spokesman Damas Gatare said in a statement late Saturday Saturday.. “It took some time to crack down on members of this network but we have over 35 suspects who will be handed over to (the) prosecution,” he added. HRW said it had “detailed accounts of 14 people who have been forcibly disappeared or who have been reported missing” in Rubavu, a district in the Rwanda’s Western Province, close to the borborder with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

DIPLOMACY | First steps taken

Russia troops in pullout ahead of Ukraine Ukraine vote vote Nato says it sees no proof Russia had begun begu n withdr withdraw awing ing from disputed area MOSCOW, Monday

R

ussia said Monday it had ordered troops near the border with Ukraine to return to their bases, just days ahead of a crucial presidential vote aimed at bringing the country out of deep crisis. In a move that could ease tensions, President Vladimir Putin’s office said he had ordered thousands of troops deployed in border regions to return to barracks after the end of spring exercises. However, Nato said it saw no proof Russia had begun withdrawing, and noted this was the third time Mr Putin had made such a claim. The Kremlin said Mr Putin had also demanded that Ukraine’s pro-Western government halt its military operation against insurgents in the east and pull out its troops. His remarks came amid continued fighting in eastern Ukraine, with at least one soldier reported killed in a pre-dawn attack near the flashpoint rebel town of Slavyansk. “Due to the end of the planned spring training of troops that included their movement to Rostov, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, the Russian president ordered... troops participating in the drills to return to their permanent bases,” the Kremlin said in a statement after a meeting of the country’s Security Council. Mr Putin also called for an

immediate end to the offensive by Ukrainian troops in the east — describing it as a “punitive operation” against the separatists — and their withdrawal. The presence of the Russian troops near the border raised deep concerns after Mr Putin’s annexation of Crimea in March and the uprising by well-armed pro-Moscow rebels in Ukraine’s eastern coal and steel heartland. Nato, which has repeatedly expressed worries about the estimated 40,000 troops, said it had not seen “any evidence at all” indication t hey were returning to their bases. Mr Putin said earlier this month that the troops had been moved away from the border to regional bases to continue planned training exercises. Nato at the time also said it had seen no evidence of a withdrawal. (AFP) STANCE

Michael Jackson ‘back’ at Billboard Awards LAS VEGAS, Monday

The late King of Pop Michael Jackson was back on stage — as a hologram — performing at the Billboard 2014 Music Award event Sunday in Las Vegas. Jackson, Jacks on, or rather his holohologram, sang and moonwalked to “A Slave to the Rhythm” dressed in a gold jacket, white t-shirt and red pants, along with a live band and dancers onstage.

a tightly-held secret up to the last moment, required a year of work from 104 artists and technicians, according to organizers. Jackson, 50, died in June 2009 after taking an overdose of the powerful sedative propofol. “Xscape” is his second posthumous album.

Tanzania and Burundi hold back EAC bid for single customs zone Three out of the five member states of the economic region have adopted the system

BY YVONNE KAWIRA @YvonneKawira [email protected]

L

ess than two months to a self-imposed deadline for full implementation of the Single Customs Territory, three out of the five East African Community countries have embraced the system. The presidents of member states in November last year agreed on a July 1, 2014 date, but only Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda have began to implement the idea, with Burundi and Tanzania yet to come on board. Under the territory, tax authorities from the partner states are expected to carry joint collection of revenues at ports of entry into the region, drastically reducing the time taken to transport cargo across borders.

This would cut operational costs and significantly improve the regional business climate. Speaking yesterday, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials said they expected Tanzania and Burundi to begin implementing the decision soon. Although a protocol making provisions for the SCT was adopted by the community in 2005, the effecting of the system has been consistently delayed during the ensuing years. Industrial growth “However, since the customs union came into force and subsequent conclusion of the EAC Common Market Protocol, and the monetary union, the ob jectives of the customs union protocol have not been realised fully,” KRA deputy commissioner commissi oner of customs Nicholas Kinoti said yesterday.

WAY FORWARD

Decisions that were reached Protocol making provisions for the Single Customs Territory Territ ory (SCT) were adopted by the community in 2005. In November last year, presidents from the five member states agreed to implement it by July 1. The system has been in use by Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda on a pilot basis s ince January 1. Tanzania and Burundi are yet to come on board.

The official, who spoke in Nairobi during an awareness forum, said the broad objectives of the customs union

are to promote intra-regional trade by supporting industrial growth, investment attraction and eliminating non-tariff barriers to promote circulation of goods among others. He said several benefits have been repo rted from the roll out of the pilot stage ranging from increased revenue, higher cargo clearance volumes and less goods clearance time. KRA estimates that the time taken to ferry goods from Mom basa port to Ug Uganda anda has been cut to four days from 18, partly due to implementation of the SCT. The plan began with clearance of oil, and is currently being structured to include cement, edible oils, milk and milk products as well as confectione confectioneries. ries. The system has been in operation in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda on a pilot basis since January 1.

Kenya’s growth to hit 5.7 per cent this year, says bank BY JULIUS BOSIRE

in Kigali, Rwanda

Kenya has been ranked among the fastest developing African states with its economic growth projected to hit 5.7 per cent this year. This is according to a yearly report released by the African Development Bank yesterday during its annual general meeting held in Kigali. The financier, however,

urged African countries to articulate public policies targeted at promoting more equitable economic and social transformation. The report notes that Kenya, having witnessed drastic currency depreciation and rapid inflation in 2011, later experienced stability in 2012 and last year, with inflation dropping to a single digit. “This stability is expected to continue in 2014,” the report says. Other countries with such notable

growth through agribusiness include Ghana and Ethiopia. South Africa has tremendously developed because of its improved vehicle industry by removing obstacles, and providing incentives for component producers and assembly lines. It said Kenya’s growth is buoyed by devel development opment of agribu agribusiness siness value chains which has also contributed to job creation.

Positive projections for the shortto-medium-term are dependent on sustained and rising growth based on increased investor and business confidence, reliable rainfall and a sta ble macroeconomic macroeconomic environment. environment. Other factors which are expected to support economic growth are lower,, stable international oil prices, lower stability of the Kenya shilling, and reforms affecting security, governance and justice.

Transparency The envisioned rules also focus on companies’ risk management and internal control as well as transparency and disclosure. “The capital markets corporate governance steering committee has broadly review reviewed ed corporat corporate e governgovernance standards from all over the world while taking into account the special circumstances in Kenya to ensure this code is highly localised,” CMA acting chief executive Paul Muthaura said in a statement yesterday. The guidelines, the statement says, seek to protect the market against risks that can threaten the financial system and stifle private sector dynamism, entrepreneurship and economic growth.

Jamboje Jamb ojett to to use Safaricom call centre BY NATION REPORTER

New budget airline Jambojet has outsourced some of its customer service functions to Safaricom. In a statement issued in Nairobi yesterday, the airline said it had decided to lease Safaricom’s call centre after its own facility facilit y was overwhelmed by customer queries. “The number of calls we received in April was more than expected and we, therefore, could not service the customers the way we would like to. With Safaricom, we have more than doubled our handling capacity,” Jambojet chief executive Willem Hondius said. said. Safaricom runs the largest call centre in the region. “We are, therefore, glad to have Jamb ojet on boar d in what we believe will be a successful partnership,” Safaricom Customer Care Director Pauline Warui said. Jambojet launched services on April 1, with ticket ticket prices as low as Sh2,850. The company’s aim was to lure frequent travellers who rely on road transport. “We are delighted to be working with Safaricom, given their experience and scale,” Mr Hondius said.

PRESS STATEMENT In view of the events that have taken place after enthronement of Archbishop Kabuthu as spiritual head of A.I.P.C.A , The A.I.P.C.A central board , the supreme decision making organ of the church , would like all members of the church and the public at large to know that ; A) The church leadershi leadership p has not known peace. Archbishop Amos Mathenge Kabuthu started his term with his own issue disregarding the structures of the church leadership and laid down policies reversing gain made in very many years of struggle. This has threatened to split the church right at the middle b)

The board board was dismayed by an advertisement carried on Daily Nation Newspaper, Sunday 18th May 2014 on page 24, which was informing members of the church and the public of the alleged excommunication of the national chirman Mr Paul W Gichu. The big question is who sanctioned the purported excommunication and for what reason? Was the due process as laid in the church constitution for such a decision followed? Who gave Archbishop Amos Mathenge Kabuthu mandate to place such an advertisement in the press without the knowledge of of the central board and and the annual general general meeting?

To put the record straight, the A.I.P.C.A central board has not had any meeting to discuss the conduct of any member in the recent past. No special annual general meeting has also been held to excommunicate anyone. Better still , there is no record of any member of A.I.P.C.A A.I.P.C.A who have been excommunicated and as far as the central board is concerrned Mr. Paul W . Gichu is the popular elected national chairman and he is the one in charge of the leadership of A.I.P.C.A universally and has mandate to execute all functions pertaining to his office without fear or favour. c)

The central board would like to acknowledge that there has been leadership wrangles in the church administration solely on the part of archbishop Amos Mathenge Kabuthu. For whatever motive, the archbishop had wished to hold the two top most leadership position of the church; that of the spiritual head and the national chairman of the church contrary to the church constitution. in his quest for this thirst he has applied so many unorthodox means without success. His believe in thriving in disorder and disorganization has no room in the A.I.P.C.A His endeavors to achieve his unknown goals have landed him in several court cases with one of the members challenging his qualification as the Archbishop of A.I.P.C.A. A.I.P.C.A. this case is yet to be heard and determined by the high court in Nairobi . in particular , this case is challenging archbishop Amos Mathenge Kabuthu to produce papers to proof he had met the required academic qualificati on to vie for the post of archbishop ; to wit , a university degree in theology from a recognized university . The central board as respondent to the case through the national chairman swore an affidavit to the effect that he did not present papers as required. This may have caused the bad blooded.

It is also alleged that several members of the church were excommunicated alongside the national chairman. The central board would like to state that the central board meets once month and in the last meeting held on 28th April 2014 , no such item was listed in the agenda or discussed rendering the said excommunicated as null and void.

Philip “Chairman” Mohochi 1952 – 13/5/2014 Philip “Chairman” Mohochi and his brother Robert Mohochi were killed in a tragic car accident on 13th May 2014. Chairman was a father, brother and mentor to so many in his community. It was his vision that built Nuru Kenya. Philip Masero Mohochi was a native of Kuria, Kenya and an experienced leader of community-based partnership and empowerment programs. He retired early from his successful career in Nairobi and moved back home to help his community. Chairman’s role was critical in establishing both Nuru International and Nuru Kenya. The lessons Chairman taught Nuru Kenya about how to build relationships and earn trust are a fundamental part of Nuru’s ethos to this day. Chairman was only a few short weeks away from retirement. While Nuru celebrates all that Chairman gave to it, we grieve for the time now lost with his wonderful wife, five children and grandchild. Chairman was one of the kindest, most humble, most compassionate visionary leaders Kenya has ever encountered. His courage and vision for his people inspired the Nuru fraternity. Philip “Chairman” Mohochi’s vision will remain alive forever. The cortege leaves Pastor Machage Memorial Hospital in Migori on the 20th of May at 2pm. The burial service will be held at Isibania Boys Secondary School on the 21st of May at 10am and thereafter burial at his home. Tata, you will be missed. We will finish what you so bravely started…RIP

No, they are all Afri cans , and were easi ly the best talents of their respective generations. Eusebio was the top scorer at the 1966 World Cup and helped Portugal to a third-place finish. He is considered one of the best African players of a ll time. Easily the best, at least in terms of race, was Brazilian Pele. In fact, he is generally regarded as the best football player of all time. He won three World Cups in 1958, 1962 and 1970, the only player to achieve the feat. He is Brazil’s all-time top scorer with 77 goals from 91 caps. Best of his generation Weah certainl y was the best forward of his generation. The Li berian was awarded awarded the 1995 1995 Fifa Fifa Player of the Year and was the top scorer in the Uefa Champions League that year. He scored spectacular and outrageous goals that have long remained in the memory of those privileged to have watched him play. Drogba was voted by Chelsea fans as their best player of all time. Having impressed hugely during his better days last decade with his deadly goal scoring abilities, he is Cote d’Ivoire’s d’Ivoire’s all-time leading scorer. We c an pick many other examples of exceptional players of African descent. The point is, proven talent abounds in the continent.

A fabulous Cameroonian side featuring the grand old man Rodger Milla, Emmanuel Kunde, Loius-Paul Mfede, Omam Biyick, Cyrille Makanaky and Stephen Tataw teased and terrified opponents at the 1990 World Cup in Italy to storm the quarterfinals; the first time an African country had advanced that far in the tournament. Golden generation Nigeria’s golden generation — the only one — displayed breathtaking football at the 1994 finals that rivalled the world’s best. Daniel Amokachi, Rashid Yekini, Ye kini, JJ Okocha, Okocha, Sunda Sunday y Oliseh, Oliseh,

Emmanuel Amunike, Stephen Keshi and company swept all on their path only to fall in the second round to a well-organised Roberto Baggio-led Italy that eventually finished runnersup. Senegal (1998) and Ghana (2010) reached the quarters. But no African country has come close to lifting football’s ultimate prize. Why? This is not an easy question. You can talk talk about about poor preparations, tactical indiscipline and technical deficiencies but, truth be told, there are only a handful of countries that can win the World Cup. Remember, just eight countries out of the 209 that are affiliated to Fifa have lifted the coveted trophy. We are unlikely to get a new winner any time soon — and you can take that to the bank.

GREEK BATTALION

Mitroglou makes squad despite injury Fulham striker Kostas Mitroglou made Greece’s final 23-man World Cup squad on Monday despite a roller coaster season. Mitroglou scored three of Greece’s four goals in their aggregate 4-2 win over Romania in a World Cup qualifying playoff in November. He scored a series of hat-tricks for Olympiakos, including in the Champions League, at the start of season, then missed a month through injury, before signing for Fulham. Mitroglou struggled with a knee injury and form at the London side who were relegated from the English Premier League.

Unfinished kick-off stadium in shaky start The still-unfinished stadium hosting the World Cup opening game on June 12 held its first official match Sunday, getting off to a shaky start after delays and deadly accidents marred its construction.

The soaked fans sought cover in higher rows.

disrupted by recent demonstrations against the more than $11 billion being spent on the tournament, Pele also defended the right to protest peacefully but called on Brazilians not to take their frustrations out on the team. “There definitely have to be complaints, but take them them to the politicians, politicians,” he said. “Political corruption, cost overruns at stadiums, the players don’t have anything to do with that, it’s not their fault.” He said his dream final would be Brazil against Uruguay, giving the hosts the chance to get revenge for their humiliation by their South American neighbors the last time they hosted the World Cup, in 1950.

ootball may be the beautiful game but the dark side of the sport has reared its head all too often at the World Cup. Four years ago in South Africa, Spain earned legions of admirers as their attractive passing style helped them to a maiden World Cup triumph. But the Spanish victory was so nearly derailed by a bitterly contested final which saw the Netherlands try to disrupt their opponents with an overtly physical approach.

Yet in many way ways, s, the 2010 final was tame compared to some of the more notorious episodes in the World Cup’s wilder early history. Since Placido Galindo was sent off for Peru at the 1930 World Cup — the first player in tournament history to be dismissed — a total of 159 players have been given given their their marching marching orders. orders. It was not until 1938 however that a

World Cup match earned the dubious World dubious distinction of being branded a “battle”, when Brazil and Czechoslovakia collided in a stormy quarter-final in Bordeaux. A bruising encounter ended with three players sent off, while Czechoslovakia’s forward Oldrich Nejedly suffered a broken leg and goalkeeper Frantisek Planicka was left with a broken arm. Brazil were at the center of another notorious brawl in Switzerland in 1954, when their quarter-final against Hungary became immortalised as the “Battle of Berne.

Having a good time: If you leave a half-fin ished drink to go and dance or to the washroom, order a new one when you return.

When out partying, mind your drink Drink spiking is simply the intentional adding of a chemical or drug to food, a drink, cigarette or sweet with the aim of intoxicating and immobilising an unsuspecting individual. individual. It is common, not not just in Kenya, Keny a, but in other countries as well, including the developed ones. The common name for this practice locally is “mchele.” Spiking of drinks, especially alcohol, has become worrying. The motives for spiking are varied, with some doing it in order to rob or rape their victims, while others do it to add live to the party. The drugs used to spike drinks are usually colourless, odourless and tasteless, and therefor therefore, e, difficult to detect. Instances of spiking are common in bars, restaurants, nightclubs, schools and colleges events, public transport. They are more common in urban than in rural areas. Understanding Understanding what spiking is all about is important since it can be lethal.

BY TOROOTI MWIRIGI [email protected]

Dear Doc, Which drugs used to spike spike drinks and how dangerous are they? Johnson

Dear Johnson, There are various drugs used for spiking. They are commonly referred to as date rape drugs, even though they are not always used for that purpose. The most common drug used for spiking drinks is alcohol. Alcohol, especially wines and spirits, are used to spike non-alcoholic drinks. This is particularly common in colleges and home parties. The victim might be a person who does not drink or is abstaining from alcohol for some reason. Since beer has low alcohol content, people

tend to spike it using spirits in order to make the drink more potent. Then there are drugs such as GBH GBH (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) and GBL (gamma-butyrolactone), ketamine, and tranquilizers (drug used to reduce fear, anxiety, and have a calming effect) such as rohypnol and valium. Rohypnol is commonly used in Kenya since it is a prescription drug and is available in chemists.It is common knowledge that rogue pharmacists sell the drug to prostitutes, who use it to spike their victims’ drinks before robbing them. Spiking is very dangerous since the victim does not know what they have taken, and the person administering it does not consider the victim’s health status. It is particularly dangerous when used in alcohol as the drugs combine with the alcohol to produce a very powerful anesthetic effect. In serious cases, it can lead to a coma or death. These d rugs come

in form of tablets, powder or liquid, and do not have an unusual taste, smell or colour when added to drinks or food. It is important to note that, apart from alcohol and date rape drugs, other hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin and other drugs are also used for spiking. Dear Doc, How can a person tell that their drink has been spiked? Wambere

Dear Wambere, Date rape drugs act within a very short time. However, the time depends on the drug used, the kind of a drink that has been spiked, as well as the victim’s health status, among other factors. One can feel the effect of these drugs within 15-30 minutes. The symptoms persist for several hours, although when the dose is high or when used in alcohol, one can pass out and be unable to remember the events that follow thereafter. Even though symptoms depend on the drug used, generally, they include difficulty speaking or concentrating, lowered inhibition, blurred vision or visual problems, loss of of memory, usually referred to as a blackout, paranoia, which is a feeling of distrust or fear of others, confusion, disorientation after waking up, hallucination (hearing or seeing things that are not there), nausea and vomiting, being unconscious unconscious or in a coma. Dear Doc, How can I prevent my drink from being spiked? Felix

Dear Felix, Usually, we tend to enjoy our time

drinking with friends without paying much attention to how safe our drinks are. It is important to keep keep a close eye eye on your drink or have someone you trust do so to avoid being a victim of drink spiking. Then, never accept a drink from a stranger or share a drink from the same glass with someone. Friends can also spike your drink in order to make you high at a party. Another safety measure to take is to take your drink straight from the bottle rather than from a glass to minimise the chances of having your drink spiked. After each sip, you can cover your beer bottle with your thumb. Carrying expensive things to the bar, including jewellery jewellery,, phones, a tablet, laptop and even lots of cash can make you a target for spiking. So unless it is absolutely necessary, avoid carrying such items to minimalise your chances of being a target Should you be alone at a restaurant or out with people you don’t really trust, do not take a drink that has been half taken. If for any reason you leave the table table and leave a drink that has been been opened, order a new one when you come back. Always notify someone close when going out, where you are drinking, with whom, and when you should be expected back home. This will will help help them track you if anything unusual occurs. Avoid dis clo sin g pers onal deta ils such as your occupation, address or any information that might make you a target for spiking to a stranger. If for any reason you suspect that your drink has been spiked, don’t take take it. But if you realise that your drink or food has been spiken after taking some, nform someone immediately so that they can take care of you if you pass out.

KNOW YOUR BODY

Here’s how not to tip over the edge Drinking is considered a normal social pracitce in many societies. However, excessive consumption of alcohol sometimes interferes with a person’s normal functioning, leading to negative consequences. Irresponsible drinking is when a person has no control over his or her drinking habit; when drinking interferes with their functionality or becomes a problem to them as well as the family and society in general. There are various signs that indicate that you are an irresponsible drinker. These are: Drinking alone Drinking to avoid problems or negative emotions Drinking to reduce anxiety or nervousness Binge drinking Reduced functionality, such as missing early morning meetings/appointments, Drinking more to get the desired effect Sleeping disorder Depression Increased relationship problems Poor concentration Dry skin Drinking to feel normal Experiencing difficulties with sex Low body temperature and A slow pul se If you notice any of the above signs, you definitely have a drinking problem and need to change before it is too late. Seeking help is also important in managing this problem.

anywhere, and with anybody. In addition, you should know how many drinks you can handle comfortably. If you had not planned to drink and an opportunity to do so arises, excuse yourself and leave. Choose activities or venues where drinking is not the main activity: This includes places with

games such as pool, or a casino, or any other place that has other activities. This will enable you to engage in these activities, so you will probably take less alcohol or be able to space your drinks.

Eat prior to, and in between, drinking: Drinking on an empty stomach is not the best way to go. Ensure that you have eaten well before you start drinking. This slows the absorption of alcohol into the blood stream. Also, when drinking, have a meal in between drinks for the same reason. Alternate alcoholic dri nks with water or other non-alcoholic drinks: The people around you will

think you are taking the soft drink or water as a mixer. This will keep you safe as you will be able to pace your drinking and also rehydrate your body. Drink slowly: this might not be easy, especi ally when taking wines or spirits. Most people increase their drinking pace as they continue to get drunk, which increases their level of intoxication. Ensure that you know your pace; after all you wouldn’t want to “tap out” early. Always let someone know that you are drinking , with whom, and when they should expect you home. This will help them keep track of you in case something happens.

In the US, gay men clash over HIV prevention pill Much of the debate has played out on the Internet and social media as tempers flare over promiscuity, erratic condom use and the potential to either eliminate or worsen the stubborn HIV/Aids epidemic

BY KERRY SHERIDAN A si ng le dai ly pil l may hel p prevent HIV. And in America, gay men who have lost countless loved ones to AIDS can’t stop fighting about it. Much of the debate has played out on the Internet and social media as tempers flare over promiscuity, erratic condom use and the potential to either eliminate or worsen the stubborn HIV/Aids epidemic, which has killed 36 million people worldwide in the past three decades. The drug in question is Truvada, an oblong blue pill that combines two antiretroviral medications — tenofovir and emtricitabine. “In the medical community community,, this is more of a controversial, divisive issue than I ever thought it would be,” said Ray Martins, chief medical officer at the Whitman-Walker Whitman-W alker Clinic. Martins said a month’s supply of pills costs between $1,200 (Sh103,200) and $2,000 (Sh172,000), which is usually covered by health insurance. Side effects are rare but can include nausea, bloating and diarrhoea. Made by Gilead Sciences in California, Truvada was already available as a medication for HIV-positive patients when it was approved by US regulators in 2012 as a preventio prevention n strategy for

people who are HIV-negative but engage in sex with HIV-positive partners, or who inject drugs. Last week, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first formal guidelines for doctors, urging them to recommend the prevention pill for patients at substantial risk of getting HIV. Cutting back on new infections The daily pill should be used in conjunction with condoms as a way to cut back on new HIV infections, which have stayed steady at some 50,000 new annual cases in the United States in recent years, officials said. “This is a position I fear the

CDC will come to regret,” said Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF). Wei ns te in pr ed ic ted th e guidelines “will likely have catastrophic consequences in the fight against AIDS in the US.” He has also described Truvada as a “party drug, drug,”” sparking a fresh wave of angst among supporters of pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, whereby healthy people take antiretrovirals as a way to prevent HIV infection. AHF spok spokesma esman n Ged Ged Kens Kenslea lea said Truvada is available in AHF’s pharmacies, and that the group does not oppose PrEP if a doctor and patient agree it could be

useful in a given situation. “The government’s wholesale endorsement, we believe, is dangerous and will result in needless new infection,” Kenslea explained. Human nature, the inability to take pills daily even among the most responsible adults, and the rise in syphilis among gay men are all reasons cited for concern. The backlash against Truvada — the only pill presently approved for HIV prevention — has led some gay men to speak out in favour of it, even describing themselves online as “Truvada whores” in a tongue-in-cheek gesture. One of them is Bradley, 28, a San Francisco technology worker who tweets as @TruvadaWhore and asked that his last name not be published. “I am adamantly against slut shaming and policing of people’s consensual behaviour,” he said in an interview. “PrEP may not work for, or be accessible to, everyone, bu t I wa nt to cel eb ra te it s effectiveness and fight stigma. stigma.”” Studies have shown that when taken regularly, Truvada is effective against HIV transmission by up to 92 per cent, the CDC said. However, when patients failed to take it daily, its effectiveness dropped steeply. As to wh et her Pr EP

encourages riskier sex, Whitman Walker clinical research research director director Richard Elion said studies on thousands of people have shown it does not. “The evidence is quite clear. There is no documentation of increased risk behaviour,” he said. Prescriptions could increase “We are not seeing more syphilis in the people on PrEP studies.” Still, relatively few people are taking Truvada for prevention. A Gilead spokeswoman said that as of September 2013, reports from half of US retail pharmacies showed 2,319 people had started taking it for PrEP. If Truvada goes mainstream and the CDC guidelines are followed, experts believe prescriptions could increase to 500,000 a year. Already,, some small changes Already are evident. Those who frequent gay dating sites may now list “PrEP” as their HIV status, adding a new category to the old standbys of “positive,” “negative” or “ask Me,” according to Cyle Durkee, 34, an actor and author who lives in the US capital. Durkee said he decided to enroll in a one-year study of Truvada after he went for an HIV test — which was negative — and his doctor told him about Truvada. (AFP)

VICTIMS OF bullying OF bullying may develop long-term physical and mental health problems, and now researchers have found one possible reason: Being bullied raises the blood’s level of Creactive protein, or CRP, a marker of systemic inflammation and a risk factor for cardiovascular and other diseases. Scientists followed 1,420 boys and girls ages nine to 21, interviewing bullies, victims and their parents. They assessed CRP levels with periodic blood tests. After controlling for initial levels of CRP and for many factors that affect it — sex, age, race and various health and socio-economic issues — the researchers found that CRP levels in victims increased in direct proportion to the number of bullying incidents they experienced. Bullies, in contrast, had low increases in CRP, even lower than those in children not involved in bullying at all. The finding suggested that a bully’s increased social status might have biological advantages, the scientists said. Their study was published online on last week in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Sciences. “The only other kind of social adversity where we see this kind of long-term effect is in children who are physically abused or neglected,” said the lead author, William E Copeland, Copeland, an associate professor of psychiatry at Duke. “We don’t think about bullying the same way, but I’m moving toward the position that we should. This kind of social defeat is more potent and long-lasting than we previously thought.”

Moving against heart disease IN WOMEN older WOMEN older than 30, physical inactivity may be the greatest single contributor to heart disease risk. Researchers followed 32,154 Australian women in three age groups: those born in 1973-78, 1946-51 and 1921-26. They used a mathematical formula called population attributable risk, or PAR, that indicates the percentage reduction in disease that would be achieved in a given population if exposure to a specific risk were eliminated. They found that the importance of the most common risk factors for heart disease — smoking, high blood pressure, physical inactivity and excess weight — varies with age. In women younger than 30, for example, the greatest contributor to heart disease is smoking. Stopping smoking would reduce the risk of heart disease in this group twice as effectively as reducing high body mass index. But for women in their 70s, being physically active would lower the PAR almost three times as much as smoking cessation, and significantly more than reducing blood pressure or achieving a healthy body weight. “It’s a heads-up for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s to get moving,” said Brown, a the lead author, Wendy J Brown, professor of health at the University of Queensland. “And if they are moving, to move more.” (NYT)

Nairobi’s informal settlements or crowded areas, the victims always complain that the rescue teams took long to arrive. Firefighters are the people they complain about most, and two weeks ago, traders at Gikomba

market cried foul yet again after a fire broke out and the firefighters did not arrive in time. Firefighters are not supermen who fly over an inferno and put it out. They need access routes and it is a fact that many crowded areas in Nairobi cannot be

reached easily because there are no roads, or the dilapidated ones there are blocked. Thanks to wayward motorists, even roads in the city are divided using tall, wrought-iron fences when concrete dividers could do the job. Besides, fire escape

routes between buildings have been turned into shops, making Nairobi one place where chances of surviving a disaster are slim. Then there are those places where movement is hampered by traders by the roadside and the thoroughfares themselves

hemmed in with old, vandalised vehicles, which might as well be sold off as scrap metal. Almost every where in Nairobi is a Gikomba or an informal settlement without access, and worse, a tinderbox waiting to explode and cause many deaths.

hoever said that a week is a long time in politics was not a visionary because he did not foresee a time when seven days would be long non politicians. Indeed, in Kenya, it is becoming increasingly clear that such a duration is longer than a lifetime for those engaged in constabulary duties. Kenyan police officers just cannot have enough time to finish their work. They cannot even start doing it since more keep springing up, and when that does happen, their bosses and/or criminals, create some. Thus, due to the heavy workload, a week is a long time in a Kenyan police officer’s life. The police boss can testify to that, given what he had to go — and take his officers — through in the past seven days. Kenyans are always quick to pass judgement even before investigations are complete, and they did that after thumbing through the hard-to-understand Constitution and declaring the indefatigable inspector general and his overworked, poorly-paid officers guilty as not charged. Their offence? Trying to make the lives of Kenyans safer by banning tinted windows on private vehicles, a fiat that the police boss must have issued after incomplete investigations revealed that miscreants prefer vehicles with such windows. The police boss means well and would not have banned tinted car

windows without poring through of intelligence reports from his officers on the ground manning road blocks. It is mischievous and unprofessional for lawyers to declare the fiat unconstitutional and offer free legal services to those found violating it when they know very well that the police boss just wants to ensure that Kenyans see each other clearly on the roads. While at it, Kenyans can also appreciate the country’s beautiful landscape, picturesque scenery, rolling hills and valleys of heaps of uncollected garbage, old vehicles by the roadside, hawkers’ merchandise and other tourist attractions. Come to think of it, this is a window of opportunity for Kenyans to become together, a chance for national cohesion, a clear opening for them to exchange niceties and knowing smiles as they look at the great strides the country has made backwards, while at the same time engaging in their national pastime of staring. Kenya’s middling class, whose car windows are tinted in the name of pimping the ride, always whine on call-in radio radio programmes that something is amiss with matrimonial unions or romantic relationships. In fact, they say romance as they did not know it is dead, and the reason is a dearth of men or women worth nagging. It is true that there are many

single men and women women mourning the death of romance behind those tinted car windows that have blocked their views. They do not see each other during the lengthy hours they spend in traffic gridlocks, hence the complaints. The face — and other body parts — of dating will definitely change with this new order as Kenyans will see their future onenight stand partners on the road and not just in pubs, where they see one another under the haze of inebriation or through rosecoloured bottles. Oh, the police boss is such a visionary! What are tinted car windo windows ws if not a hindrance to a clear view of the society, the environment and opportunities around Kenya?

malls and those who trade in such places because, without them, terrorists will have no targets. He should have done it last year in order to make Kenya safe and able to attract foreign direct investment and offer more underemployment opportunities. That is the commercial angle to the tinted windows edict. Traders who conduct their businesses in traffic gridlocks miss opportunities to look their customers in the eye and haggle or peddle lies about the genuineness, and/or efficacy of their wares. In the end, they get short-changed or fail to sell because becau se the prospective prospective clients cannot see the goods on “display” clearly from afar. Did someone say without tinted windows even traffic police officers who ask for bribes, rioting university students and others hooligans who terrorise motorists by snatching their s tuff will clearly see their victims and what they have in their vehicles? Good! The police boss needs our supportsince clear glass will improve Kenyans’ living standards, and health, what with them soaking in the full benefit ben efits s of the sun whi while le sw sweati eating ng and baking in gridlocks.

TITLE: JARAMOGI OGINGA ODINGA:

People’s Revolutionary

AUTHOR: Ezekiel Alembi AUTHOR: Longhorn Publishers

LETTER FROM MARTHA

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY

Grandmother knitted her eyes together in thought. But children need to know about Jaramogi, she insisted. That is why you should write a letter to Martha. He was a great man. Musicians composed songs about him. People wrote books about him. Yes, and yet none of these people tried to write a book about this man in a way that children could appreciate him. Ah, sighed Grandmother, I remember when people used to say that they had to be

careful about what they said, because Jaramogi could be listening. He would change himself into a fly on the table and listen to everything that was said! Do you remember, Jaduong, when people said that Jaramogi could even turn himself into soap suds?! He could be anywhere! Yes, agreed Grandfather, Oginga had that effect on people. I remember the old men telling me that whenever he pointed his walking stick at someone, something terrible would happen to that person

the next day. This man had power! Grandfather thought again about the letter. This is a very important letter, he said, and I should answer her letter straight away. She needs to know about Oginga. Caleb needs to know about him too. All children should know about Jaramogi. Yes. That’s why I must answer my granddaughter’s letter straight away. I will tell her the story as best as I can, and ask her to read my letter to her classmates. He paused thinking hard. I hope, Jaduong, added Grandmother, that children will read your letter all over the world! The sun was slowly working its way up to its zenith and its rays warmed the two old people. The birds also felt its warmth and trilled pretty tunes as they hopped from tree to tree. A gentle breeze stirred the leaves and it was as if all of nature were celebrating Grandmother’s words.

KenolKobil eyes eyes improv improved ed profit as it seeks inv investor estor OIL MARKETER KenolKobil will focus on liquefied petroleum gas, aviation fuel, and non-fuel business to grow its profit margins this year. The company’s chairman James Mathenge said the management is focusing on stepping up performance to avoid sliding into “lossmaking territory”, as was the case in 2012. “The focus now is to strengthen the performance of the company going forward so that we do not see a repeat of what happened in 2012,” said Mr Mathenge on the sidelines of the company’s annual general meeting in Nairobi last

week. The oil marketer is seeking to improve its profitability as it continues to look for strategic investors. Last year, KenolKobil posted a net profit of Sh558 million, bouncing back from a Sh6.2 bilbil lion loss it suffered two years ago. A plan by the company’s majority shareholders to sell their stake to Switzerland-based Puma Energy in 2012 failed after the transaction was strongly opposed by employees, who moved to the court to stop the deal. It is also understood that Puma Energy could have pulled out of the transaction because of

the lawsuits that KenolKobil faced at the time. Some of the court cases required the company to pay as much as Sh2 billion. This could have impacted negatively on its financial status.

Evaluate opportunities “The proposed merger between KenolKobil and Puma did not work out, but we continue to see a lot of interest and the board continues to evaluate these opportunities,” Mr Mathenge added. The company was expected to delist from the Nairobi Securities Exchange with the con-

clusion of the buyout deal. KenolKobil’s managing director David Ohana said insecurity brought about by terror threats, fuel price volatility and fluctuations in the mean exchange rate between the shilling and the US dollar remain the main risks to this year’s performance. Last year’s performance was supported by reduction in finance and operating costs as well as disposal of the company’s non-performing assets.

INVESTMENT » BANK CUTS NATIONAL TREASURY‘S TREASURY‘S PROJECTED ECONOMIC GROWTH OF 5.8PC THIS YEAR

TO 5.5PC

Security fears, politics won’t shake investor confidence, says says Citi Citi Senior economist says Kenya is among Africa’s fastest growing economies that will continue attracting foreign capital

BY GRIFFINS OMWENGA [email protected]

K

enya remains an attractive destination for investors despite rising insecurity and political challenges, a global bank has said. Citibank’s top economist, David Cowan, said there are “inescapable sociopolitical challenges” that affect emerging economies like Kenya, but that these do not have a big impact on investor confidence. “Kenya is a growing economy. And just like any other country country that has gone through such phases such as Nigeria, India, or Singapore, there are some challenges that affect the country but then, there are ways of going around them which investors use,” said Mr Cowan. He said Kenya is East Africa’s economic giant and among Africa’s fastest growing economies that will keep attracting more foreign investors despite terrorist attacks or the seemingly never-ending political battles. “Kenya is trying to entrench devolution and this is not a mean task,” Mr Cowan told Smart Company , noting that as long as there were policies and structures to guarantee investors the security of their capital, growth is guaranteed. Citibank, however, said the economy was unlikely to grow at 5.8 per cent, as projected by the National Treasury, but will go up by about 5.5 per cent. “We at Citibank forecast a growth of 5.5

per cent in 2014, rising to 6.1 per cent in 2015. However, infrastructure constraint is still very much an issue holding a growth pick-up,” pick-up,” he s aid. The economist said the bank’s growth forecast is “very ambitious” because of a number of inherent factors such as drought and insufficient rains, which can impact negatively on production. Mr Cowan noted that the rebound in economic activities after last year’s General Election has been weaker than expected. He said the economic growth prospects could also be undermined by food price inflation, which is potentially picking up. Kenya’s economy stagnated last year, growing by a mere 0.1 per cent from 4.6 per cent realised the previous year. The

figure was lower than the projections released by the government last year, which had indicated that the economy would grow by 5.6 per cent. All the major major sectors under-p under-performed erformed,, making it difficult to achieve the growth targets set last year. Devolution and Planning Cabinet secretary Anne Waiguru attributed the decline in economic development to poor rainfall in Rift Valley, the country’s breadbasket, resulting in poor harvests. “The rains played a major role in the under-performance, given the fact that our agricultural sector is rain-fed,” said Ms Waiguru while launching the Economic Survey 2014 in Nairobi, last month. Mr Cowan said that although economic growth appears to have picked up marginally during the first half of this year, infrastructure constraints are among the major hurdles facing the country. He said the government’s plan to re-

vise its gross domestic product (GDP) calculations could see the total value of the goods and services produced in the country rise by between 15 per cent and 20 per cent this year. “The provisional indications are that the revision will be around 15 to 20 per cent. This would increase GDP in 2013 to around Sh4.5 trillion,” he said. He praised Kenya for using a more realistic benchmarking figure to measure growth, saying countries such as Nigeria that had adjusted their GDP by over 50 per cent, were being “a little unfair to themselves”. “This growth is more real owing to things like the ever-growing telecommunications industry. For instance, M-Pesa and sale of mobile phones was not a big industry in 2002, when the current GDP calculations were made,” he said, adding that this would contribute to the anticipated bigger GDP figures.

ROUGH TIMES AHEAD, MINI-BONUS FOR MAY MAY HAS NOT BEEN PAID PAID

Tea, coffee farme farmers rs warned of hard times as prices dip Political turmoil in key markets and volatile global markets hurt exports

The price of tea has reduced in the international market. The crop is a key foreign exchange earner and its performance affects the strength of the shilling.

ea and coffee prices have dropped in recent weeks, hitting a new low and setting off alarm bells among farmers. Experts have warned growers to expect further price shifts in line with changes in the global market. The turmoil in key markets — Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and South Sudan — has worsened the situation. The production levels of the two crops in other countries, the strength of the shilling, and political crises in key markets are expected to affect prices. The two sectors are among the top foreign exchange earners for Kenya, therefore their performance affects the strength of the local currency. Tea prices have dropped to an average of $2 from $3 in 2012. And as an indicator of the hard times ahead, the mini-bonus for farmers in May has not been paid. “The market at the moment is very bad. The first quarter saw a drop of four per cent in tea production, giving hope that there will be lower production than the 432 million kilos recorded last year, which would have meant higher prices. But rains in April indicate we are likely to have even higher production which also comes with low quality and prices,” said East African Tea Traders Association vice-chairman Peter Kamanga. The association manages the Mombasa tea auction. The organisation has asked for government governme nt intervention through a review of levies to cushion farmers’ earnings.

The Kenya Tea Development Author ity early this year said a kilogramme of tea sold at an average $2.38 between July and November last year compared to $3.65 in 2012. “This is the lowest price registered since October 2008, when the price of tea per kilo sold at $2.05,” the agency that manages 66 tea factories in Kenya said. Fluctuating foreign exchange rates, rising fuel prices, decreasing smallholder farm sizes, climate change, and political woes in key markets are hurting the country’s tea industry. Global Tea in 2009 warned producers against reacting to good prices by increasing production. However, Mr Kamanga said local growers expanded their farms while consumption remained low, unlike India, which has managed

to stabilise its tea prices through increased local use. Accord ing to the Econ omi c Survey 2014, the acreage under tea increased by 4.2 per cent to 198,600 hectares in 2013 from 190,600 hectares in 2012. Tea output jumped by 21 per cent to 182,600 tonnes in 2013 from 150,900 tonnes in 2012. Tea earnings increased to Sh114.4 billion last year from Sh112.2 billion in 2012, but the payment to farmers per kilo declined. KTDA last year said the global market for the Black CTC teas was depressed. The turmoil in Egypt, the civil war in South Sudan, and the political instability in Pakistan and Afghanistan have have impacted negatively on the tea business. “The bulk tea buyers have not expanded and we are relying on the few markets that have been facing political instability,” said Mr Kamanga. Coffee prices have also registered a drop in recent months, although market watchers anticipate improvement because of dry weather in Brazil, which produces Arabica, like like Kenya. The commodity experienced a steady drop in price, recording the lowest in the past six years in 2013, threatening to stifle growth in the sector that has only re-

cently recovered from the 1990s slump. The 2014 economic survey indicates that coffee production decreased by 18.8 per cent to 39,800 tonnes in 2013 from 49,000 tonnes in 2012 due to rising cost of farm and processing units. The average yield also reduced. Coffee earnings have dipped to Sh17 billion in 2013 from Sh22 billion in 2012. On April 8, the top grade AA sold at $311.4 and AB at $261.30 for 50-kilo bag at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange while the same grades sold at $301.66 and $249.06 respectively on 13 May. “We’ve seen improvement of prices over the uncertainty of weather in Brazil. The greatest competitors to Kenya are Brazil and Colombia. Whatever happens in these countries affects the prices of Kenya coffee,” said Nairobi Coffee Exchange chief executive executiv e Daniel Mbithi. According to the International Coffee Organisation, continued uncertainty over Brazil’s crop has driven prices upwards, although the rate of increase has slowed slightly. Reports that El Nino weather might occur earlier earlier than expected have also contributed to speculation over future coffee supply, with analysts reducing their production forecast for the 2014/2015 crop.

FINANCE >> JOSHUA MASINDE

Bank seeks Sh1.7bn from global lender for expansion DIAMOND Trust Bank (DTB) plans to raise an additional Sh1.7 billion from a global institution to increase its capital base as it eyes more business in the region. The cash, to be sourced from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), will be dollar-denominated and will be used to fund small and medium businesses across East Africa, the bank’s chair chairman, man, Mr Abdul Samji, told Smart Company in an interview. “We are just discussing the terms with them (IFC) and hopefully, before the end of this year, we should be able to get the additional $20 million,” he said. DTB has a presence in Kenya, Uganda, Tan-

zania, and Burundi. In 2012, the bank raised Sh1.7 billion from IFC in long-term debt to increase its lending to small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). Bread and butter In the 2013 financial year, about 97 per cent of the bank’s lending went to SMEs, highlighting the importance of this segment to the lender’s growth. “The SME segment is our bread and butter and we don’t want to lose focus on this sector. This is where we make our money,” money,” said DTB’s chief executive, Nasim Devji. The mid-tier lender also plans to float a rights

issue in July to boost its capital base should approvals from the Capital Markets Authority and the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) be granted before then. “We are still waiting for the Capital Markets Authority Autho rity and and NSE NSE to to give give us us a formal appro approval val for the rights issue,” Mr Samji said. New branches The bank will issue one share for every 10 held by its shareholders. In 2012, DTB raised Sh1.81 billion from a cash call. The funds were used to finance expansion in East Africa. This year, the bank plans to open 10 new branches from about 100 currently.

INTEGRATION

Set up offices to run monetary union systems, urges EAC official INSTITUTIONS tasked with managing the regional monetary union need to be up and running in member states to ensure speed in policy harmonisation, the East African Community secretarygeneral, Richard Sezibera, has said. He said political commitment is key to meeting the time frames laid out in the 10-year roadmap leading to the introduction of East Africa’s single currency. “The protocol, which was signed last year,, had provisions for monetary policy year harmonisation. The biggest challenge would be ensuring that the institutions required to manage the monetary union at the regional level are up and running,” said Mr Sezibera at a meeting with the Oxford Business Group. He said the region must integrate and deepen its financial sector. “These goals are all certainly ambitious and require political commitment and fiscal discipline. A lot of work is ongoing within our monetary affairs committee. The issue will remain how fast we can bring all these together,” he noted. The comments come ahead of the launch of a report dubbed, Kenya 2014, Oxford’s first-time guide on the country’s economic activity and investment opportunities.

Mr Sezibera (above) praised Kenya’s decision to concentrate on the regional market in terms of outward policy. “Such a strategy would support the country’s efforts to achieve middle-income status,” he added. The report is expected to be a vital guide to areas such as macroeconomics, infrastructure, and banking. It will contain interviews with representativ representatives es from the political, economic, and business spheres. President Uhuru Kenyatta and Industrialisation and Enterprise Development Cabinet secretary Adan Mohammed will be interviewed. “East Africa is interesting because if you look at the continent as a whole, the population is largely concentrated concentrated at the coast, with a relatively sparse population in the hinterland, but in East Africa, the biggest centres of population density are in the middle. For us, the only way to grow is to ensure that our coasts serve our population,” Mr Sezibera said. — Yvonne Kawira

CAUTION » LACK OF ENGAGEMENT OF KENYANS IN THE PROVISION OF LABOUR, GOODS, AND SERVICES COULD CREATE FRICTION

Local firms miss out on oil, Current laws fail to make it mandatory for global explorers to contract Kenyan companies in the provision of supportive services before shopping for them from global markets BY IMMACULATE KARAMBU @ikarambu [email protected]

K

THERE IS A NEED FOR LAW AND POLICY THAT ENCOURAGE FIRMS OPERATING IN THE UPSTREAM SPACE TO USE LOCAL SKILLS AND SERVICES.”

Oil and Energy Services Ltd CEO Mwendia Nyaga

enyan companies are missing out on business opportunities in the oil and gas industry because the existing legisla legislation tion does not compel global giants to source for local skills, goods and services. The Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, which came into effect in October 1984 and is still in use, fails to make it mandatory for oil and gas exploring firms to contract local companies to provide supportive services before shopping for labour from the international market. The Act says that contractors should “give preference to the employment of and training of Kenyan nationals in petroleum operations” and “give preference to the use of products, equipment, and services locally available.” The law does not specify the procedures to be followed by exploration companies in engaging local people and companies and is silent on the penalties to firms that fail to comply. The Energy ministry is reviewing the petroleum law and industry stakeholders have urged the government to give legal backing to the creation of a policy to guide the incorporation of local content in the lucrative upstream industry. Upstream space “There is an information gap in the industry. There is a need to have legislation and policy that encourage firms operating in the upstream space to use local skills and services,” said Mr Mwendia Nyaga, the chief executive officer of Oil and Energy Services Ltd, a local consultancy. Excluding local people in the provision of labour, goods, and services creates dissatisfaction with the activities of the multinationals contracted to explore for oil and gas. The situation almost went out of control in November last year when UK’s Tullow Oil Plc had to abandon its activities in blocks 10BB and 13T in Turkana County when the residents demanded employment and tenders from the company. Tullow resumed operations two weeks later, after signing a memorandum of understanding with the government through the Ministry of Energy and Pe-

troleum, compelling the British firm to open a field office within a month to handle the grievances. The company committed to continue offering “tangible benefits” to local communities in terms of employment and tenders.

Cabinet secretary for Energy and Petroleum Davis Chirchir also directed Tullow to double the $2 million that it sets aside for the Social Investment Fund to cater for the training of local residents through such initiatives as the scholarship programme.

“The issue of local content does not fall in corporate social responsibility. It is a commercial decision that companies have to make and often it is cheaper for us to rely on the local market,” said Mr George Cazenove, Tullow’s head of media relations. Kenya can learn from countries with established oil and gas industries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Angola and Brazil. Brazil. For instance, the Petroleum (Local Content and Local Participation) Regulations 2013 of Ghana are meant to “promote the maximisation of value-addition and job creation through the use of local expertise, goods and services, businesses, and financing in the petroleum industry value chain and their retention in the country.” Give preference They require contractors to bid for the acquisition of goods and services and give preference to indigenous Ghanaian companies. The regulations say: “Where an indigenous Ghanaian company has the capacity to execute the job, that indigenous Ghanaian company shall not be disqualified exclusively on the basis that it is

not the lowest financial bidder. Where the total value of the bid of a qualified indigenous Ghanaian company does not exceed the lowest bid by more than 10 per cent, the contract shall be awarded to that indigenous Ghanaian company. Where during an evaluation of bids, the bids are adjudged to be equal, the bid containing the highest level of local content shall be selected.” Analysts Analy sts want the the government government to cater for the needs of local and contracted firms when developing a local content policy. International standards “Building a local content policy is important but it can be useful if it is articulated in a standard way that is balanced to encourage investors and cater for the local people,” said Mr Anthony Muthusi, a partner at Ernst & Young (EY). Apart from tech nical skills such as engineering and basic fabrication services, exploration firms require catering, transport and logistics, security, and medical and chemical analysis services. As an industry industry practice, practice, exploexploration firms require that those seeking to provide such services

meet certain international standards that can be provided by accredited institutions with guidance from the specific contractor. Ignorance about these standards among local entities has been blamed for their low rate of participation in the upstream industry. The government should also ensure that the capabilities of local firms and individuals to offer goods and services are not exaggerated. “To ensure that the (content) policy is balanced, balanc ed, the government government needs needs to map map the industry needs and identify those that can be provided by local firms to avoid overstating the capabilities of local entities. It is also important to ensure that what is provided is sourced locally,” said Mr Muthusi. Since March 2012, when Tullow made the first oil discovery in Kenya, there has been increased interest in the local oil blocks by multinationals. This calls for the creation of new laws to cater for emerging needs in the industry.

More oil found at Twiga-2 as rig is moved from dry Ekunyuk-1 well AFRICA OIL and its partner, Tullow Oil, have hit 62 metres of vertical net oil pay in a well drilled in Northern Kenya in a mixed bag of results announced last week. The Twiga 2 well is currently deepdeepened ahead of testing to check the well’s viability, but the company said the Ekunyuk-1 operation returned negative results. This is the second disappointment this year after a successful campaign between October 2010 and January this year when seven wells returned a 100 per cent success rate. “Some 62 metres of vertical net oil pay has been discovered in the Auwerwer formation, similar in quality to the initial Twiga-1 discovery,” the company announced in its latest update.

moved this rig to the Agete-2 location.” It said the drilling rig from the “dry” well would be moved to the Amosing1 well, the discovery made earlier in January and which appears be one of the largest in the basin to date. The company also announced that test results from another well, Twiga-2, found some 18 metres of net oil pay. The company announced another miss from the Ekunyuk-1 well that reached a final total depth of 1,802m,

Valuable insights “I am pleased to announce that the Twiga-2 exploratory sidetrack has encountered material oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs north of Twiga-1. The combined results from Twiga-2 and its successful sidetrack confirm the resource potential and have given us valuable insights for the locations of future exploration and development wells,” said Tullow’s exploration director, Angus McCoss (right), in a statement. “Following the unsuccessful well at Ekunyuk-1, located on the eastern flank play, on trend with recent discoveries at Etuko and Ewoi, the company has

possible crisis should the country get on the stage of oil production without appropriate laws to guide industry operations. The issue of local content will be the main focus during an upcoming conference organised by the local consultancy firm, Oil & Energy Services Ltd, which is set to be held in Nairobi next month. A brief on the event indicat indicates es that more than 400 participants, among them industry leaders from countries with established oil and gas industries such as Angola, Nigeria, and Mozam bique, will will attend. attend. Other than protecting the interests and serving the needs of Kenyan private investors, a good content policy also benefits the government through allocation of contracts to State-owned agencies. Geochemical lab The National Oil Corporation of Kenya is in the process of constructing a geochemical laboratory to analyse samples from exploration sites. The Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act requires that all licensed exploration companies contribute to a training fund run by the Ministry of Energy for the purpose of sharpening the skills of local manpower in the petroleum business.. business “There shall be established a training fund for the purpose of training Kenyan

nationals in petroleum operations. All monies raised by the contractors as a training contribution shall be paid into the training fu nd,” says the Act . A report by the Audito Auditor-Gen r-General eral for the financial year 2011/2012 released in October last year showed that the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum incurred Sh1.1 billion against the training fund. The expenditure is inclusive of two payments of Sh20 million and Sh30 million that were made to Chloride Exide and the Kenya Association of Manufacturers for the implementation of energy efficiency programmes. A further Sh124 million was spent on construction by the Ministry of Energy and the National Oil Corporation. Training fund Sh1 billion was transferred to three parastatals — the National Oil Corporation, the Rural Electrification Authority, and the Kenya Electricity Generating Company. This is contrary to the provisions of the Petroleum Act which states that “all moneys from the training fund shall be used only for the purpose for which the fund is created. created.” ” Mismanagement of the training fund, especially at a time when the country has a few people with specialised technical skills to serve the upstream industr y, has magnified the country’s loss in tapping her natural resources.

encountering just five metres of oil pay. Africa Oil says it plans to drill prospects in three new basins this year, two in the North and South Kerio basins (Block 10BB) while the last will be drilled in the West Turkana basin in Block 10BA. According to the company’s CEO, Keith Hill, the Dyepa-1 well will spud in the second quarter and will target the South Kerio basin, which is proximal and geologically similar to the discovered basin in Northern Kenya in Block 10BB and the string of pearls field discoveries such as the initial Ngamia discovery. Additional prospects “The Dyepa well will also offer data on whether the company can proceed with drilling in other additional prospects that have been identified,” said Mr Hill. To date, Tullow has discovered an estimated 600 million barrels and could reach 1.2 billion barrels from a series of wells with full production expected during 2018. “Project sanction for Ngamia and Twiga expected late 2015 with first oil three years later,” Mr Hill added. Africa Oil’s Sala prospect within Anza basin showed traces of oil and gas according to sources at the Energy Ministry.

KEY POLICY ISSUES IN EXPLORATION

Lack of engagement of local people in the provision of labour, goods, and services creates dissatisfaction with the activities of the multinationals contracted to explore for oil and gases.. gases Laws in Ghana require that contractors seeking goods and services give preference to indigenous companies. Analysts urge the govern-

ment to ensure that it develops a balanced local content policy to cater for the needs of both local and contracted firms. Ignorance about international standards among local entities has been blamed for their low rate of participation in the upstream industry. industry. Apart from technical skills such as engineering and basic fabrication services, exploration firms require catering, transport and logistics, security, and medical and chemical analysis services.. services Other than Kenyan private investors, a good content policy can also benefit the government through allocation of contracts to State-owned agencies. The issue of local content will be the main focus during an upcoming conference organised by the local consultancy firm, Oil & Energy Services Limited, and is to be held in Nairobi next month.

otorola has made a comeback to Kenya with the launch of a new Android-powe Androidpowered red mobile comput computing ing device targeting businesses. The company says the TC55 will enhance point-of-sale services to customers. It targets both smalland large-scale investments dealing in fast-moving consumer goods and services. The device, a bar code scannercum-computer,, can pass for a smartcum-computer phone but is tailored for enterprise use. It can make radio calls within a busin ess premis e, scan product s, and add up numbers for purposes of accounting. Motorola Solutions believes that

IT COVERS WHAT THREE DIFFERENT DEVICES CAN DO AND CREATES EFFICIENCY.” Motorola business development develop ment manager for enterprise mobility business Alon Shacham this is “the perfect device” for Kenya’s growing economy demands. “It covers what three different devices can do. This cuts costs by a great margin and creates efficiency,” said Alon Shacham, the company’s business development manager for

enterprise mobility business. The device offers advanced capacity and has a 4.3-inch, high resolution touch screen. It is brighter both indoors and outdoors and has the ability to adjust to the environment, enabling input with a finger or a stylus even when the screen is wet. The device promises superior security, durability, long battery life, scanning options, and longer life compared to other consumer devices. Motorola says the gadget is flexible and can be used in a range of industries, including retail, manufacturing, logistics, and transport. Manage rapid changes The head of enterprise business in Africa, Mr Claas Kuehnemann, said Motorola was working on upgrading its devices with up-to-date technological changes. “Businessmen want devices that look presentable and can be handheld without being burdensome,” said Mr Kuehnemann. “TC55 brings together the industry’s Jelly Bean version of the Android operating system. This makes businessmen feel confident that the devices are secure, manageable, and enterprise-ready.” The gadget also allows developers to manage rapid business changes by creating applications using RhoMobile Suite 4.0, which is available on the device. This helps them to adjust to a new business environment instead of buying new equipment. TC55 can withstand harsh conditions, for example a drop from a height of 1.2 metres, and is resistant to both dust and water.

Alon g with progra mmabl e buttons, the TC55 also has a dedicated scan button and can process bar codes in a fraction of a second and the eight-megapixel camera is used for document scanning. Despite the manual that comes with-the device, it has the exact properties of a smartphone and can be used without any complications. The handset can be used in busy environments such as vehicles and building sites, thanks to the dual microphones that cancel out background noise and speakers that are four times louder than those in ordi-

Mr James Mugi Kamweti, the East Africa accounts manager, manager, told Smart Company that Motorola Solutions expects the device to sell because of its specific form and all-in-one design. Easy to use “It is comparable to most consumer phones and, hence, easy to use. It is powered by a 1.5-GHz processor, has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of memory that can be supplemented using MicroSD card, and also runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean,” said Mr Kamweti during the launch of the gadget last week. “We found out that some businesses want the more consumer-orientated offerings of Android as opposed to what is being offered by Microsoft, which is a key partner of Motorola,” Mr Kamweti said.

CUSTOMER CARE » LUCY KIRUTHU

Customer experience drives uptake of insurance products IF YOU HAVE ever made an insurance claim, you most likely have a story to tell. The story may be exceptional, tolerable, or absolutely ugly. Like many buyers of insurance products and services, I do not look forward to making a claim. Could it be that I have not spent adequate time looking at the fine print on my policy documents? Or is there an overriding trust issue? In recent times, though, I have noticed positive developments in the industry. A number of insurance companies promise hassle-free cover claims settlement. A few others are gearing towards being more customerfocused and have set up customer care centres and member education programmes. Is the industry as a whole becoming more customer-focused or is it just a few players

that are seeking to rebuild broken customer trust? Unfortunately, according to various studies, customer perception in the industry is poor, particularly with regard to settlement of claims. In Kenya, it will continue to be difficult to raise insurance uptake if the issue of perceived lack of credibility is not addressed and if promises made during sales pitching are not kept during claims settlement. Low penetration I am convinced that poor perception is one of the causes of low penetration of insurance products in Kenya. In a PwC report, Insurance 2020: Turning Change into Opportunity , the fact that the balance of power is now shifting in favour of

customers is well highlighted. Insurance companies living in the past and taking customers in circles must not wait any longer to change their ways. Those that continue to harbour disgruntled customers may soon cease to exist. What can the companies do to make the insurance process less painful? At the last Insurance Institute of Kenya annual conference, I was invited to speak on creating customer value. Fine print My key question to the hundreds of insurance professionals was... Is customer satisfaction your policy? I was seeking to find out if there is commitment to customer value-creation, cuscus tomer satisfaction, and customer retention. Insurance companies that commit to invest in making sure that both the sales and claims customer experiences are truly customer-focused and customer-friendly will stand out from the rest. A few days ago, I learnt about one insurance company that defines pre-existing medical conditions as those that existed before last re-

newal. They pointed out that medical insurance is annual and that it does not matter that one has been with them for decades. Could this be part of the fine print on the policy documents that an insurance sales staff will not bring to our attention? Does anyone following up on a renewal highlight this part of the policy? Being customer-focused means ensuring that customers are well informed, it means being transparent and keeping promises, it implies keeping processes simple, and it demands genuinely seeking to add value to the customer. The switching cost between insurance companies for most policies is almost at zero. During renewal, many customers make a decision based on past experiences, if any, or what they have heard from friends, family, or the public. Customer-focused insurance companies will continue to reap from high quality customer experiences that attract new clients year in, year out. Lucy Kiruthu is a management consultant.

Flower traders bank on airline’s Abuja route to boost sales The flower industry is banking on Kenya Airways’ introduction of direct flights to Abuja next month to increase sales in West Africa. The head of supply chain at Oserian flower farm, Mr Kirimi Mpungu, said the company was also looking at other African markets to tighten its grip on the industry on the continent. Flying more often “Instead of Nigeria buying flowers from Holland, (which actually come from Kenya) we can sell to them directly and since we have Kenya Airways now flying there more often, we don’t have an excuse,” said Mr Mpungu, who was

enya is working to reverse the decline in foreign direct investment that has seen it lag behind its neighbours. Uganda and Tanzania have been getting between two to three times more in new capital from foreign investors than Kenya. The government is targeting to attract $1 billion (Sh85 billion) in foreign direct investment in the next financial year in order to rejuvenate growth. “Kenya is currently attracting the smallest proportion for FDI in East Africa. We must drasticall y increase foreign direct investment inflows to the country to achieve the objectives of industrialisation in line with Vision 2030,” 2030,” said the Cabinet secretary for Industrialisation and Enterprise Development, Mr Adan Mohammed. Quick wins The Industrialisation Ministry says six sectors with the potential to accelerate industrial take-off and create about one million jobs in the next two to five years have been identified. The sectors include textile, leather, agro-processing, beef, fishing, and ICT. They have the potential to enable the country to make quick gains in its industrialisation goals in the next 15 years. Several State-owned firms will get budget alloca tion s sprea d over five years with the objective of transforming

their operations before they are eventually privatised. Webuye-based Pan Paper Mills will get Sh1 billion, sugar factories Sh5 billion, the coconut/cashew nut sector Sh500 million, pyrethrum Sh1 billion, livestock Sh1 billion, and coffee Sh1 billion. “We will categorise key government industries based on strategic relevance relevance and operational health, then determine the target recipient for investment,” the strategic plan by the ministry notes. Kenya has been attracting less foreign direct investment in recent years despite its strategic position in the region. For example, Tanzania, which has maintained an average growth of 7 per cent for the past 10 years, attracted $1.7 billion in foreign inflows last year compared to Kenya’s average of between $260 million and $400 million. Change tide Ethiopia, which has also recorded one of the fastest economic growth rates in Africa of between between 9 per cent and 10 per per cent in the past 10 years, has attracted an average of $970 million. The top investment destination is Nigeria, with $7 billion in foreign direct investment pumped into the economy in 2012. Experts, however, say that the discovery of oil and other minerals could change the tide in favour of Kenya. The growth of the textile industry is anchored in the fact that 90 per cent of the potential cotton-growing areas are unexploited. The industry enjoys duty-free access to the US market estimated at $93 billion through the African Growth and Opportunity Act. The sector also has access to the European Union’s $288 million market through the Economic Partnership Agreement that is under negotiation. The textile sector is also seeking to exploit the local market, with the government being the biggest buyer of products. The government expects to

Farmers want import duty on biogas appliances removed to promote the use of renewable energy and conserve the environment. Through their lobby lobby,, the Kenya National Farmers Federation (Kenaff), they said that reduction of forest cover and lack of environmental education are a threat to sustainable agriculture. Kenaff CEO John Mutunga, in statement, asked the government to redouble its efforts in addressing climate change concerns as well as develop effective preparedness and early warning systems. “Farmers are concerned about poor preservation and protection of river banks, limited environmental education, and destrucdestruction of water catchment areas,’’ he said.

With a $60 billion global market, the industry has the potential to accelerate industrial, as 80 per cent of Kenya’s land is suitable for livestock rearing. The plan also includes greater focus on agro-processing, with the objective of taking advantage of anticipated jump in consumption. Domestic food consumption is expected to double by 2020, and by creating processing industries, the government expects to create 200,000 new jobs by 2016. The government also plans to enter into a joint venture with private investors to exploit fishing in the Indian Ocean. In the proposed deal, private investors will be given exclusive rights and protection by the government while they will provide fishing vessels and capital. The country’s quest for investors is, however, faced with challenges such as high cost of power averaging 0.17kilowatt hour compared to Ethiopia at 0.03-kilowatt hour. Other hurdles include infrastructure infrastructure,, skills gaps, and obsolete technology.

MANAGEMENT » BY DAVID MUTURI

Protect yourself against undue, destructive pressure I ONCE HEARD a person I respect very much lamenting about what he called the occupational hazards of sitting in certain positions. He was unhappy about the way his health was going. The continuous pressure of doing certain jobs and sitting in certain positions can take a toll on a person’s wellbeing. I did not pay much attention then. I thought it was just another “lamentations of an older man”. I heard it repeated much later by another person, who blamed his former job for his state of health. I started paying keen attention to high-pressure high-pressu re position holders. Many will walk in ramrod straight and looking up to the task. However, the walk out will rarely be as ramrod, given the fact that time inevitably

takes its toll and spares no one. Some jobs seem to take a rather higher toll. Or is it just certain perpersonalities in certain positions? I looked up the type of personalipersonalities as espoused by the Enneagram, which sums up people into nine possible personality types. There are the reformers, who are generally principled, purposeful, self-contr self-contrololled, and perfectionist. Then there are the helpers, who are generous and demonstrative. They are pleasant and possessive. The achiever is adaptive, excelling, driven, and image-conscious. There is the individualist, who is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental. The investigator is perceptive, innovative, secretive, active, and isolated. The loyalist is engaging, responsible, anxious, and

suspicious. There is the enthusiast, who is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered. The challenger will be self-confiden self-confident, t, decisive, wilful, and confrontational. The peacemaker is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and resigned. The achiever’s personality easily caught my attention, for it seemed to fit my two lamentors. They were both very adaptive people who had excelled in what they had chosen to do, with a high personal drive and a jealously guarded sense of selfimage. I checked this personality further to see why one would end up with a sense of almost self-pity or reprimand for the good job they have done. Much as it might seem a desirable personality, the downdownside is that people in this category strongly feel that they can only be

loved and respected for their accomplishment and success. They, therefore, push themselves to the limit, seeking more and more success. The danger here is that when you sit in certain positions you succeed and fail in almost equal measure. The achiever will focus on the failure to make good and to earn respect and love. They measure their image against their need to work. If no good work is done, they have poor self-image for they seek approval based on their performance. They are, therefore, highly competitive and love to win all the time, putting themselves under constant pressure to perform. To avoid failure and to retain love and respect, they risk the defence mechanism of taking up a role so completely that they lose contact with even their own self.

They forget whom they are inside. When the role ceases or is taken away, their reconnecting to the self before everything else may be a great source of personal misery. It might help to ask yourself if you are of this personality. If you are in a high pressure job, how well do you adjust to people? Do you always want their recognition — almost demanding it? How do you deceive yourself and others? How do you avoid failure? How do you perceive doing versus being? It might do you good to shield yourself from the self-destruction that is driven by unwarranted pressure.

Grains, metals, meat: these are just three of the commodities being suck sucked ed in by the the voracious voracious Chinese economy which is set to be the key key driver driver on raw materimaterials markets this year. French commodity research specialist Cyclope in a report published this week argues that “in the coming months, global markets will feel even the slightest sneeze from China”. World Wor ld commodity commodity prices prices have surged in recent years, driven by

rising demand from increasingly affluent shoppers in emerging markets and particularly China. China has also amassed huge reserves of dollars and has the financial fire-power to buy and outbid, since many commodities are traded in dollars. China overtook India to become the world’s biggest goldconsuming nation in 2013, and the World Gold Council forecasts that its appetite could jump by about 20 percent by 2017.

It is also close to overtaking the United States as the world’s biggest bigg est oil importer importer and has become a vast consumer of many agricultural commodities as more people can afford to eat meat and dairy products. Its influence on global commodity markets has become even more important in the wake of the global economic crisis, which has hampered growth in the developed world. (AFP).
