PETITION | Africog says votes for some constituencies were inflated

THE JUDGES

IEBC on the spot as main petition opens
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Constitution and violation of electoral laws by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Through its lawyer, Ms Kethi Kilonzo, the civil society group showed videos of results announcement at Nyeri and Bomet counties tallying centres which Ms Kilonzo claimed were different from the final results announced by the IEBC and captured in Form 36. “What the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission announced as the final presidential tally was a complete fraud since the effects of the irregularities were that what candidates got was not what they ought to have got,” she said. For Nyeri, the organisation played a video in court in which the county tallying officer read the final results showing Mr Uhuru Kenyatta having 317,881 votes with his closest challenger, Mr Raila Odinga, getting 6,075 votes. According to Ms Kilonzo, the final tally by IEBC showed Mr Kenyatta’s votes as 318,880 while Mr Odinga’s votes were given as 5,638. The rejected votes went down from 3,030 to 2,465. “Form 36 presented by IEBC is filled by fraud against every individual who queued for hours to vote for their preferred candidate and the only logical solution would be to invalidate the results of the entire county,” Ms Kethi said. “Every man or woman is entitled to one vote but the end of the IEBC conduct did not justify the means. They conducted the elections in total contravention of the Constitution and their own regulations which cannot lead to a legitimate government,” she said. Ms Kethi gave another example of Machakos Town constituency where she alleged that the IEBC register had only 125 voters registered without biometric information but the final results showed a total of 3,182. The court was also shown another video from Bomet County, which Ms Kilonzo claimed, showed the final presidential votes tally pinned on the wall at a tallying centre differing from the one announced by IEBC and indicated on Form 36. Said Ms Kilonzo of another centre, Charity Primary School in Kieni constituency: “The principle register... had only one registered voter, but the result shows Mr Kenyatta got 310 votes. Even the returning officer did not indicate how many registered to vote or the

She added that the IEBC cannot say it did not break the law since it went against its own promise to deliver results within 48 hours, adding that the electronic transmission failure was IEBC’s own making to enable stealing of votes. “We cannot understand the mischief behind the system failure since it was not for the benefit of the commission but for the people of Kenya to ensure a free, fair and transparent election,” Ms Kilonzo said. Should the Supreme Court find the election was bungled, Ms Kilonzo argued that the judges should order the Director of Public Prosecution to investigate and prosecute those involved in committing electoral offences.

SONG AND DANCE | Kidero was chauffeured in and out of Uhuru Park ahead of a motorcade

Governors start off on unequal riding
New governors driven around under heavy guard, indicating they’re the new kings in town
BY AGGREY MUTAMBO

G

overnors are the new powerful guys in town. You could see that as they took oath of their offices yesterday. They arrived surrounded by guards — those mean-looking bulky men — just in case anyone tries to harm the new Governor. Around the country, new Governors were heavily guarded, driven in and out, and during the ceremonies, the form of entertainment indicated they were the new kings in town. While the official cars were not uniform, out of the 47, there is no queen yet, at least until after five years from now. In Nairobi, Governor Evans Kidero was chauffeured in and out of Uhuru Park in a Rolls Royce Princess ahead of a motorcade. The colonial classic car was last seen in the 1990s during the reign of President Moi. But it is a beautiful car with huge headlights and a slim steering wheel. This time round, it was branded “NCC1” meaning the number one guy in the Nairobi City County, with a flag to boot. At the ceremony, a man, probably a supporter of Dr Kidero, tried to present a live chicken to him. Guards couldn’t take any of that. In Machakos, Dr Alfred Mutua arrived at Kenyatta Stadium in a silvery Benz, named “Machakos 1”. He waved from the sunroof of the car, greeting jubilant supporters. In Eldoret, Uasin Gishu’s Jackson Mandago, was driven in in a Mitsubishi four-wheel drive. It had a flag, but he chose to name his car “Governor”. A police band marched past and soon after he took the oath, elders dressed him in a traditional animal skin. At Afraha Stadium, Nakuru’s Kinuthia Mbugua arrived in a Toyota Land Cruiser. It had a flag, but he chose to retain the ordinary number plates.

QUOTES OF THE DAY

Top court judges’ ruling to focus on four main issues
Lawyers representing the parties had failed to agree on what they wanted determined
BY JOHN NGIRACHU
[email protected] aturday’s Supreme Court ruling on the presidential election petition will be on four main issues, the six judges have decided. Mr Justice Smokin Wanjala outlined the four areas to be determined from all the presentations, evidence, affidavits and other materials given to the court in the course of the 14 days it has to make a decision. As he set out the issues ahead of the hearings, which started yesterday, Judge Wanjala hinted at the enormity of the task ahead for the five men and one woman at the helm of the country’s highest court. “The court believes that the type of declarations, orders and reliefs that the court can order arising from these petitions is an issue and could create a precedent for the future Supreme Court and other courts of law that are by the nature of our Constitution, bound by the orders of this court,” he said. The first issue, he said, is: Whether the Third and Fourth Respondents (Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto) were validly elected and declared as President-elect and Deputy President-elect of the Republic of Kenya, respectively, by the Second Respondent (Ahmed Issack Hassan) in the Presidential Elections held on the 4th of March 2013. The second is: Whether the presidential election held on March 4, 2013 was conducted in a free, fair, transparent and credible manner in compliance with the provisions of the Constitution and all relevant provisions of the law. The third is: Whether the rejected votes ought to have been included in determining the final tallies of votes in favour of each of the presidential candidates by the First and Second Respondents (IEBC and Chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan). The fourth is: What consequential declarations, orders and reliefs should the court grant based on the above determinations. The six judges decided to outline the issues after the lawyers representing the six parties involved in the petitions failed to agree on what issues they would like the judges to determine. Mr Justice Wanjala said the four areas are the “critical issues that we have managed to distil and capture from all the statements that have been filed by each of the parties.” All parties were told they were at liberty to use the entire arsenal available to canvass all the issues they felt they had. The judge said should it become necessary for any parties to raise jurisdictional issues, the court would listen and make its decision as it makes its judgement on Saturday.

From the mouths of the lawyers
The process of procuring the EVIDs was beset with corruption and impunity. At the end of the day you ask yourself, how many people actually voted during these elections with so many registers? — George Oraro (For petitioner Cord) What the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission announced as the final presidential tally was a complete sham and fraud since the effects of the irregularities were that what candidates got was not what they ought to have got. — Kethi Kilonzo (For petitioner Africog) This petition is more than a contest between the Presidentelect (Uhuru Kenyatta) and my client (Prime Minister Raila Odinga). It is about elections and their future in Kenya — George Oraro Forms 36 do not reflect the results announced at the County Tallying Centers. The IEBC took votes from candidates who performed dismally and added the votes to the top candidate. The court must ask itself what simple, verifiable and accountable means and what is free, fair and valid election — Kethi Kilonzo I dare say the only logical conclusion is to invalidate the results. You can make an order to the DPP to investigate who committed the electoral offences and prosecute them — Kethi Kilonzo. The IT system must be accurate, secure and accountable. It should satisfy the Constitutional threshold on elections. If the electronic voting worked, we would not be where we are — George Oraro

SUMMARY OF ISSUES

Whether Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto were validly elected and declared President-elect and Deputy Presidentelect.

He said the judges had been very careful not to go into evidence or the type of arguments the lawyers would raise. All parties agreed with the judges’ decision, with Attorney-General, Prof Githu Muigai, affirming that he was also in agreement. On Tuesday, majority of the lawyers had filed their proposals on what they felt were the real issues. All had wanted the judges to determine who would eventually foot the costs of the case.

PETITION | Oraro says it is difficult to establish which voters’ register was used in March 4 election

Raila lawyer alleges irregularities
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 alluding to the fact that there existed two voters’ registers, a move he described as illegal. Mr Oraro said the electoral commission had, behind the backs of Kenyans, created a ‘special register’ , long after the ‘principal register’ had been closed. The special register, the court heard, contained between 31,318 and 36,230 new voters. “As at February 18, we were informed that the total number of voters was 14,337,339 voters registers when the registration process by the IEBC had been completed,” Mr Oraro said. “The IEBC later on stated that the number had been amended to 14,352,533 in their affidavit, with an explanation that the additional number arose from the fact that there were 12 voters who had been included to vote in Soi constituency and a further 31,318 people whose biometric information were not captured during the registration process,” Mr Oraro said. “This number, however, changed to 36,230 in another affidavit. Based on these figures, Kenyans are confused on the number of registered voters in the country. No one really knows how many registered voters are there.” Mr Oraro said that the matter became even more interesting as another affidavit sworn by one Immaculate Kisait, listed the registered voters captured by the BVR kits as 14,352,542, with another 31,318 that had not been captured by the kits. He said IEBC committed a massive electoral offence to continue amending the principal register with only a few days remaining to the March 4 General Election. “The law,” he added, “does not permit the register to be amended at least 14 days to an election, let alone creating a special register,” said Mr Oraro. “What they have done is illegal, irregular and unconstitutional.” He posed: “Where was this special register used? We want to know which counties. We suspect that in the areas where there was voting in excess… these areas are in Rift Valley, Meru and Kiambu. “That is why when the Supreme Court ordered the re-tallying of the presidential votes, the electoral commission rushed with the green books to legitimise the numbers contained in the special REACTION

Voters seek decision on rejected votes
BY NATION REPORTER
The Supreme Court has been requested to rule that rejected votes should not be used to determine the percentages presidential candidates get. This was the first petition filed after election results were declared and was the first matter to be heard as the hearings began. TNA members Dennis Itumbi, Moses Kuria and Florence Sergon filed the petition through lawyer Njoroge Regeru. Mr Regeru argued it was not enough to use Article 138 of the Constitution, which states that a candidate shall be declared president based on votes cast, as the only law. He said the idea was that a rejected vote should not be accorded the same status as one that is valid. However, lawyer George Oraro argued that “the distinction between a vote and a ballot is a distinction without a difference.” President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta’s lawyer Fred Ngatia said rejected votes could be used, either deliberately or not, to trigger off a run-off.

Lawyers take on top court

The commission, he said,

had proposed that the number of election declaration forms be reduced to one, that the tallying and vote transmission system be done in a secure manner and that parties be given adequate time to interrogate the results before their announcement. “Sadly, all these were ignored,” he said. “At Bomas, our agents were in fact thrown out of the National Tallying Centre. These elections were characterised by massive irregularities.”

LSK unveils experts to audit polls
BY NATION REPORTER
The Law Society of Kenya has unveiled its nine-member committee that will conduct an audit of the March 4 General Election. The committee will probe mass failure of electronic technology during the elections whose outcome has been challenged by Prime Minister Raila Odinga at the Supreme Court. The electoral commission declared Jubilee Coalition’s candidate, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, the winner of the presidential race. The team includes Ms Koki Muli, an expert in electoral laws, human rights lawyer Maina Kiai as well as Mr Stephen Kiptinness and Ms Alice Kingworm, both of whom are experts in telecommunications law. Others are governance expert George Kegoro, Kibe Mungai (election petitions and constitutional law) and Judith Guserwa (procurement law). Legal Scholar Ben Sihanya and Mr Ken Nyaundi — an expert in information communication technology and electoral law, are also members. “We want to determine circumstances that led to the alleged failure of the technology system used,” said LSK chairman Eric Mutua.

Deadline missed in re-tallying of votes
BY NATION REPORTER
Re-tallying of presidential votes continued last night despite an earlier decision it would end at 4pm and as the Supreme Court warned that unauthorised people need permission to access the tallying centre. Chief Justice Willy Mutunga made the decision yesterday following reports that Cord lawyer James Orengo, (right) activists Maina Kiai, George Kegoro and Gladwell Otieno had attempted to enter it. The activists are members of civil society groups that have filed a petition. Justice Mutunga said Judiciary Registrar Gladys Boss Shollei reported that the four gave security a torrid time. “Since you have observers in the tallying centre, we want to tell you that it is an extension of the Supreme Court and it will be respectful if you want to visit the tallying centre to make an application before us,” he said. A source at the KICC said the work was going slowly. “The clerks appeared slow. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission also only supplied some details today (yesterday),” the source said. General Service Unit, regular and administration police officers kept vigil inside and outside. Only party agents, electoral commission and Judiciary officials were allowed in the tallying hall. Even the media was not allowed close to the hall. Judiciary registrar Gladys Shollei said the media would be allowed to take pictures for few minutes after special arrangements with the communication department.

Appeared slow

On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered the re-tallying of the presidential votes in 22 polling stations across the country. The judges also ordered a fresh scrutiny of all the Form 34 used by the electoral commission in tallying the presidential votes in all the 33,000 polling centres across the country as well as the forms 36 used for entering presidential constituency results. All reports and results of various exercises were to be filed with the court by 4pm yesterday, but indications were that the re-tallying would go on throughout the night.

Governors take office with vow to fight cheap brews

Mr Gachagua said his priority would be value addition in agriculture, water harvesting, infrastructure, jobs for the youth, rural electrification and security. He promised to set up a team that will come up with ways of dealing with the consumption of cheap brews which, he said, had reduced men and young people in the region to zombies. The Nyeri governor was also installed as a Kikuyu elder during the ceremony at Dedan Kimathi Grounds. He arrived at the venue in his personal car, but left in a GK Mercedes Benz to signify his changed status. Laikipia’s Joshua Irungu declared mandatory education for children of school-going age in the county immediately after taking the oath of office. Mr Irungu, who was sworn in by Lady Justice Roselyn Korir at the Nanyuki Stadium, said only 65 per cent of the residents had primary school education and a mere 13.6 per cent secondary school qualifications. “We must make a shift in our attitude towards education and be active stakeholders in ensuring our enrolment rates are above the national average,” he said as he also promised to streamline revenue collection without necessarily burdening taxpayers. In Meru, Governor Peter Munya pledged to improve agriculture to boost revenue for the residents. Lady Justice Jessie Lesiit led Mr Munya and deputy Governor Raphael

home and promised to work handin-hand with them. All the 35 county representatives from the area staged a walkout complaining that no space had been reserved for them. In Nakuru, Governor Kinuthia Mbugua said his priority would be to revive industries that had collapsed and give pyrethrum sector a new lease of life. “The economy will be my government’s first order of business,” he said and vowed to bring all communities together. Nakuru County has been a hotspot for ethnic violence for many years but Mr Mbugua said that would not happen again. At Afraha Stadium ceremony presided over by Mr Justice Anyara Emukule, the governor promised to unite residents of the county. In Nyandarua, Governor Daniel Waithaka Mwangi said he would seek to ensure that he established an all-inclusive leadership. During the ceremony at the Ol Kalou Stadium and presided over by Mr Justice Luka Kimaru, he promised to improve infrastructure in the county. In Garissa, Governor Nathif Jama Adam was sworn-in by Judge Stella Mutuku and magistrate Hannah Njeri Ndung ’u at Garissa O pen Soccer Field.

Cord MPs meet to share speaker slots
BY NATION REPORTER
About 160 Cord MPs were last evening held in a strategy meeting planning how to handle today’s elections of the speakers of the Senate and National Assembly. Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula were to cochair the meeting which was also meant to discuss how to allocate various committee seats. The strategy meeting which was to start at 4pm was however delayed for hours as Mr Odinga, Mr Kalonzo and Mr Wetangula failed to arrive on time. Incumbent House Speaker Kenneth Marende and former Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim were also expected to briefly attend the meeting but they did not. “This is an important and mandatory meeting for all our members to discuss important internal issues,” said ODM secretary-general Anyang Nyong’o. Prof Nyong’o said that despite their coalition being a minority one in the two Houses, they had put in place structures to survive. “In 1992, Ford Kenya was a minority party but we effectively did our part. We are going to apply the same techniques to ensure Cord remains focused,” said Prof Nyong’o. Yesterday’s meeting was also to discuss how to allocate other positions including that of the coalition’s whip and his deputy. The parties were to largely agree on how to share all the key positions amongst members of the affiliate parties. The position of coalition whip was also set to be discussed with members expected to agree on who between Gem MP-elect Jakoyo Midiwo and Budalangi MP-elect Ababu Namwamba would be supported.

New House set for first key sitting
BY NATION REPORTER
Kenya’s transformed Parliament meets today for its first sitting. The bicameral (two-chamber) Parliament consists of a 349-member National Assembly and a 67-member Senate. The two will operate independently. “They will be two different Houses with totally different cultures,’’ said Mr Jeremiah Nyegenye, the new Clerk of the Senate yesterday. The Senate, which will sit at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi until refurbishment of the Old Chambers of Parliament is complete, will be the second in the country. The first one was created by the Constitution that was drafted at the Second Lancaster Conference in February 1962. The then Upper House, which had 41 senators representing the country’s 41 districts, lasted until 1966 when the House of Representatives and the Senate merged. The bicameral Parliament established by the Constitution envisages two equal Houses which will sit for the same hours and same days of the week. Although the Senate’s primary role is to serve and protect the interests of the counties and as such guarantee devolution through legislation and oversight, Mr Nyegenye says that mandate is not limited.

Fulfil promises, Jubilee MPs told
Uhuru, Ruto say they are banking on new members to deliver promises
BY ALPHONCE SHIUNDU AND MACHARIA MWANGI
[email protected] resident-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, Mr William Ruto, yesterday told Jubilee coalition MPs-elect they were banking on their support to fulfil promises made to Kenyans during the campaigns. The two leaders, whose victory is the subject of a Supreme Court petition, told the MPs-elect at the Great Rift Valley Lodge in Naivasha that though the coalition won the March 4 poll, all that was left was for the Supreme Court to endorse it. “Jubilee has majority members of the National Assembly, majority senators, majority county women representatives and majority county representatives, so it is only logical that we won the presidency,” said Mr Ruto. “Be that as it may, we are law-abiding citizens and we have submitted ourselves to the court and ensure that the truth, fairness and justice prevail,” the deputy President-elect said. He said Jubilee had a historic mandate of implementing the Constitution and transforming the country, especially through devolution, as soon the court confirmed its victory. “We are committed to changing the country for good so that the electorate can have faith in electing leaders with the country at heart,” said Mr Ruto. Mr Kenyatta said he was ready to start work with the MPs-elect as soon as the Supreme Court did its job. “I look forward to working with you as a disciplined Executive working with a disciplined Parliament,” he said. “When you see us going wrong, call us, let’s talk. When we see you going wrong, we’ll tell you, listen to us. I look forward to listening to you once some six people decide. What(ever) they’ll decide we’re ready. We hope that you are ready,” he said. Mr Kenyatta told the new MPs they should stick to-

Uhuru allies propose mass swearing-in
BY NATION REPORTERS
MPs-elect allied to the Jubilee coalition yesterday expressed concern at how the swearing-in at the National Assembly will be done. They anticipate a mass oathtaking ceremony when the 11th Parliament sits for the first time this morning. The 221 lawmakers are drawn from Kanu, TNA, URP, FordPeople, Kenya National Congress, Narc, Federal Party of Kenya, New Ford-Kenya, CCU, independent MPs, Alliance Party of Kenya and Narc-Kenya. Speaking at a meeting of the coalition’s senators and MPs in Naivasha, the leaders said individual oath-taking by 349 members would take long. But for the Senate, they said oath-taking could be done in three hours because there were only 67 members. National Assembly Clerk Justin Bundi said the House was prepared for the swearing-in of all MPs irrespective of how long it would take, but added that they were open to ideas on how to fast-track the process. “We are ready to negotiate with the MPs and have it done in bunches if they want,’’ Mr Bundi said.

FACING ARREST | Six have been identified

14 bloggers linked to hate messages
CCK tracking down eight who use pseudonyms to spread malicious posts on social media sites
BY FRED MUKINDA
[email protected] he search for 14 bloggers suspected of posting hate messages on the Internet has started. Six of them had been identified and were being investigated, a media monitoring committee revealed yesterday. The rest use pseudonyms and the Communication Commission of Kenya (CCK) has been asked to unearth their identities, according to the National Steering Committee on Media Monitoring. “We were able to download a number of postings and sent them to CCK. We identified eight other bloggers apart from the six being investigated. Most of them use pseudonyms but CCK has assured us that in a week or so we shall be able to identify the eight others,” the director of Public Communications, Ms Mary Ombara said yesterday. Mr Robert Alai, a well-known blogger was on Tuesday charged with posting “annoying” statements on social media sites, Twitter and Facebook. He was arrested following complaints by head of civil service Francis Kimemia and released on a Sh50,000 cash bail. The commission is also investigating an FM radio station because it deems messages posted on its online

T

platform as hate. “There’s one particular vernacular radio station that during the week was posting this kind of information. The language is derogative and targets a specified community,” Ms Ombara said. “The committee wishes to caution all those engaged in social media to verify any messages of political nature that they receive through SMS before making any postings,” read part of a statement issued by the committee. Those blacklisted would be charged with contravening the Kenya Information and Communication Act. Mobile phone service providers have helped in blocking thousands of text messages deemed to spread hatred. The government was however undecided on how to deal with those who send them, having been overwhelmed by the large numbers. MONITORING

Kibaki urges peace ahead of key ruling
BY PPS
President Kibaki yesterday called on all Kenyans to maintain peace, as they await the Supreme Court’s ruling on the presidential election petitions. The President, who will retire when his successor is sworn-in, was addressing a luncheon hosted in his honour by National Intelligence Service (NIS) at their new School of Analysis in Kitisuru, Nairobi. He reaffirmed his commitment to a peaceful transfer of power to the next government. The Head of State urged the wananchi to restore normalcy in the country’s economic sectors as soon as possible. “As the country awaits the Supreme Court ruling on the presidential election petitions, I call upon all of us to accept it and maintain peace.” At the same time, President Kibaki urged active users of social media to use such forums to spread peace and unity. He praised NIS and other security organs for their contribution towards a peaceful General Election and for enabling Kenyans exercise their democratic rights freely. “I also wish to commend all Kenyans for maintaining peace before, during and after the elections,” President Kibaki said. The Head of State, who presented the top security agency with its new emblem, signifying the transformation of the country’s intelligence structures, commended NIS for setting up the state-of-the-art School of Analysis. He noted that the National Intelligence Service Act and legislation such as the Prevention of Terrorism Act, Money Laundering Act and Organized Crimes Act had increased the capacity of NIS to deal with emerging threats. Out-going Internal Security minister Katoo ole Metito assured Kenyans that their security was guaranteed at all times, adding that the March 4 General Election was a testimony of the government’s commitment to peace and harmony in the country.

Mobile phone firms help to block texts
Mobile phone providers block up to 300,000 hate short message texts per day. The companies have installed software that detects messages containing particular words and automatically flag them off for further scrutiny. The government has announced plans to launch the National Public Key Infrastructure, a platform that will ensure all online business transactions are digitally certified and thus bar use of pseudonyms.

A Nigerian businessman has denied a charge of trafficking cocaine worth Sh12 million. The drugs were allegedly found in his bag at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. A court yesterday ruled that Mr James Johnson Udogwu remains in police custody at the anti-narcotics unit headquarters at the airport until police complete their investigations. Mr Udogwu was arrested on Sunday.

P

arties at the centre of a gender row at the Limuru Golf Club have been given three weeks to resolve the matter. A High Court judge Isaac Lenaola said yesterday ordered the feuding parties to make a final attempt at mediation, failure to which the case would go for a full hearing. “The choice will be between pursuing proceedings in court or outside mediation systems,” the judge said. The club’s board of directors has been locked in a tussle since last December with three women members who are contesting their expulsion. Yesterday, submissions by the parties were suspended after they agreed to the mediation suggestion. However, similar attempts since December have failed after the board kicked out Ms Rose Mambo,

Ms Martha Vincent and Ms Catherine Wangari went to court accusing the club of intimidation and harassment and that the case bordered on gender discrimination They successfully stopped a meeting by the board to sanction their expulsion pending determination of their petition in court, but they remained barred from participating in the club’s management. Justice Lenaola said despite the failure of earlier talks, there was still a possibility of an out-of-court settlement and directed the parties to file a report in 21 days. The parties clashed before the judge yesterday, with either side accusing the other of “lacking humility”. The women accused the club “of going on an ego trip” by barring Ms Mambo from playing golf last Saturday. The court heard that Ms Mambo was barred from playing on the orders of chairman Yassin Awale. On hearing this, the judge asked the men to be “reasonable” until the matter is settled. “This court would have expected some sort of mediation. Let it be a last resort, let us look for other ways and avoid this matter spiralling beyond Limuru,” the judge said.

Shahbal loses suit challenging Joho’s election as governor
BY NATION REPORTER
Mombasa governor candidate Suleiman Shahbal yesterday lost his court challenge against the election of Mr Ali Hassan Joho as governor. A judge in Nairobi ruled that Mr Shahbal failed to follow rules governing election petitions and presented his case to the wrong forum. In an application to the Constitutional Division of the High Court, Mr Shahbal, who was contesting on a Wiper ticket, alleged bribery, exclusion of agents, late opening of polling stations and failure to extend the time where voting started late. He sought an order stopping the electoral commission from gazetting Mr Joho as governor. Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi yesterday said the case was about the outcome of an election and such challenges could only be made through a petition. “This pertains to the election of the Governor of Mombasa. There is a High Court in Mombasa and there is no good reason why the petition was not filed there,” the judge said. She said it was not a fatal flaw as the petition could be transferred to Mombasa. The flaw, she said, was that Mr Shahbal presented election issues in the form of a constitutional petition when the law is clear on how to challenge poll outcomes.

Court rejects TNA bid to block list of senators
BY NATION REPORTER
The National Alliance party has lost an commission suspend its list of nominated women senators. The party challenged the list after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) left out its number three nominee, Lydia Mathia, from the final list published in the Kenya Gazette. The party accused the IEBC of skipping Ms Mathia’s name and replacing it with others that were not among the top five in the party’s list. It sought orders quashing IEBC’s Gazette notice pending determination of its constitutional petition against alleged discrimination against Ms Mathia. The High Court yesterday ruled that Ms Mathia and her party’s issues could only be addressed through an election petition and not a constitutional application that they had filed. “An order quashing the Gazette notice will result in the loss of seats by persons who are MPs,” Justice David Majanja ruled yesterday. According to the judge, those in the IEBC list were already MPs by virtue of the Gazette notice. Ms Mathia can only get the seat if a Senator loses it and the court can only intervene if it is approached with an election petition, the judge held. TNA and Ms Mathia had challenged IEBC’s handling of the party’s list of nominated women senators through a constitutional petition. Party chairman Johnson Sakaja accused the commission of acting beyond its mandate by altering the party’s list. The party had submitted its list of women to be nominated into the Senate. The list, Mr Sakaja said, met the legal requirements for regional, ethnic and gender balance in their Jubilee Coalition.

Cheptumo heeds order to quit post
BY NATION REPORTERS
Justice assistant minister William Cheptumo has joined the list of MPs holding Cabinet positions who have resigned ahead of today’s swearing-in. Mr Cheptumo, who spoke to the Nation from Naivasha where MPs are strategising for various House jobs, said his colleagues who were still hanging on were “bastardising the Constitution they swore to protect.” “Section 152 (3) of the Constitution bars any Member of Parliament from serving as a Cabinet minister and Cord should not make a mountain out of a mole hill,” the Baringo North MP-elect said. Last week, President Kibaki ordered all ministers who had been elected as governors, senators or National Assembly members to quit the Cabinet. President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta also weighed in on Friday asking all ministers and their assistants elected to Parliament or county assemblies under the Jubilee Coalition to resign. But Prime Minister Raila Odinga has insisted that the instruction was unconstitutional and told ODM ministers not to resign. On Tuesday, ODM secretarygeneral Anyang’ Nyong’o went to court seeking to quash President Kibaki’s order, saying, there would be a vacuum in government if ministers resigned before a new president is sworn in. However, Public Service Minister Dalmas Otieno and his Education Minister Mutula Kilonzo, who are in Cord, have quit.

Under this, headteachers will be required to keep a record of all “corrective” measures against learners. The boards will give affected students and their parents a hearing and determine the punishment commensurate with the offence. Only the County Education Board can order the expulsion of a child. It will also recommend the student for admission to an institution that specialises in behaviour correction. In cases of mass indiscipline, only the board of management can declare a school closed, after which it will report to the County Education Board.

aggrieved parties. The regulations were drafted in line with the provisions of the Basic

Education Act, which guarantees every child the right to free and compulsory basic education. The Act, which became law this year after President Kibaki assented to it, says a parent who fails to send a child to school risks going to jail for one year or paying Sh100,000 fine. “A person who contravenes this section shall be liable to a fine not exceeding Sh100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or both, “ it reads. “It shall be the responsibility of every parent or guardian to admit or cause to be admitted his or her child to a basic education institution,” it adds. Learning has also been made compulsory from pre-school to Form Four. Previously, pre-school was not compulsory and basic education only covered primary level. It also outlaws child labour and prescribes stiffer penalties for offenders.

County leaders should live up to expectations

A

momentous event towards devolution was marked yesterday with the swearing-in of leaders who will govern the 47 counties. Installation of the governors was not just a mere ceremony but something akin to Independence Day for each of the counties. The governors — to be aided by appointed County Executives and elected County Assemblies — take office when there are still a lot of grey areas in the interlink between the devolved and central governments. It appears that a few bureaucrats in Nairobi took it upon themselves in the dying days of the last Parliament to pass laws to maintain the Central Government overseers in the counties. They created a parallel system of administration that could well render county governments dead-on-arrival. The courts may well have to determine whether retaining the entire system of administrative officials reporting to the Office of the President offends the letter and spirit of the Constitution. However, before these issues are resolved, governors have taken office and must hit the ground running. Voters have bestowed on them and on county assembly representatives great responsibility and trust. Those elected must demonstrate from the first day in the office that they are equal to the task. They must show that they are not just glorified council chairmen, mayors and councillors of the corrupt and incompetent local government regimes that were swept into the dustbin of history. Kenyans across all the 47 counties expect and deserve competent, innovative and forward-looking governments. It cannot be business as usual. It cannot be about squabbling over garbage collection contracts, bursary allocations, supply tenders, business licences, land grabbing and other petty rent-seeking activities.

Things men’s shirts tell us about women and politics in Kenya
got a welcome reality check last week when I was passing through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. A female Immigration officer asked me if I “used” to write in the Daily Nation. I said yes. She asked why I had stopped. I said I hadn’t, I was still writing this weekly column and other stuff. She paused, a little embarrassed, and came clean. She said it was her who had stopped reading newspapers. Why? She said “there was too much politics. And these days you people write about elections only from page one to the end as if there is nothing else in life”. She said maybe when all the politics ends, she will begin reading newspapers again. Another good friend — a civic-minded chap — told me if I wrote another column on the Kenya elections, which is now being fought out via a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the declaration of Uhuru Kenyatta as winner, he will not sit down with me for coffee for a while. So, while for many people the election is nearly the beginning and end of life, for some it is actually a oneday event. I will, therefore, not dwell too much on the

Restart TSC recruitment
he Teachers Service Commission is finding itself in an awkward situation following the nullification of the appointment of three commissioners by the High Court. At the centre of the row that has dragged on since last year was that the appointments were irregular to the extent that they did not take regional, gender representation and merit into account. All along, it had been noted that the best candidates during the interviews were skipped and replaced with those who did not score as well. MPs rejected the nominees and the Executive was directed to present fresh names, only for the same names to be presented again for appointment. TSC is independent and its commissioners must be appointed through an open, competitive and transparent process. As the agency responsible for handling teachers’ matters, the commission finds itself paralysed because some decisions can only be made by the commissioners. Given the significant role TSC plays in education, a fresh and transparent recruitment must start to appoint candidates with the credibility required of the commission. The Executive must stop these games.

election. Two things are worth mentioning. One, it was noteworthy that there was not a single woman elected as governor in the March 4 election. All the 47 governorships went to men. Generally, except occasionally in the USA, voters seem to have it in for women. They rarely elect women as governors. Secondly, the fact that the boys still pretty much control things is evident in the Supreme Court petition. Ms Kethi Kilonzo, the diminutive but feisty lead lawyer for the African Centre for Open Governance (AfriCog), sticks out like a Martian from a sea of men with clean-shaven heads and dark suits in the courtroom. The only other woman in a position of authority in the courtroom is Supreme Court judge Njoki Ndung’u.

In those days, no man went out of his house without a pen in his shirt pocket. It was our 20th century legal warrior’s spear. It was something the women couldn’t carry publicly.”

Such scenes, and the performance of women in the recent election in Kenya, as with all elections in Africa, usually send feminists into despair. Male voters won’t vote for women candidates, and even women voters, who reproduce the mindset of patriarchy that has short-changed them for generations, will not, they complain. While the present picture is not heartening for women in politics, I am slightly more optimistic. This is because of the way change happens. None of the reforms that the 2010 Constitution introduced to increase women’s access to elected political office will have a real impact until about another 10 years – at the 2023 election. For example the once giant Kodak, the camera, film and print products maker, filed for bankruptcy last year. Kodak sank because it failed to take advantage of the digital revolution, especially the digital camera. However, that failure just didn’t happen in 2012. It started 37 years earlier when Kodak invented the digital camera (that eventually all but killed it) but wasn’t smart enough to champion it because it was making too much money selling film. In fact for me, it wasn’t the rise of the feminist

movement, and the sense of fairness and justice that convinced me that one day the girls will rule even in Kenya, as in most of Africa. It was over 30 years when I was a little boy and saw a men’s shirt without a pocket, and a plain button placket (as opposed to the double stitched one). People like to say power began shifting when women “started wearing trousers”. No, it is when men’s shirts started to look like blouses. Women wear trousers, but they are women’s trousers, because of differences in our body shapes. However, shirts have been more flexible. There was a lot of politics involved in men’s shirts. We used to go to school when girls were being discriminated against. In those days no man went out of his house without a pen in his shirt pocket. It was our 20th century legal warrior’s spear. It was something the women couldn’t carry publicly. They only carry pens out of sight in their pockets and handbags. The pen was the ultimate symbol of male power and badge of gender inequality. I guess by the time Ms Kilonzo runs for governor, if she ever does, the revolution will have matured. [email protected] and twitter@cobbo3

NATIONAL DIALOGUE | Peter Kerre

Leaders can unlock benefits for nation by actively engaging Kenyans abroad W
hile there is no accurate figure on the number of Kenyans living in the diaspora, it is estimated that this could be close to three million. This forgotten constituency can play a big role in Kenya’s development if the incoming administration extends its hand to engage them. However, with no clearly defined diaspora policy in place, there has been a disconnect in the relationship between the diaspora and past administrations. It is also important to note that during election campaigns, none of the alliances mentioned the diaspora in their manifestos. There are three key pillars of engagement we could use as a foundation for building a relationship between diaspora communities and the government: Engaging the diaspora as development partners, Reversing brain drain and Increasing representation. The first should be a key interest of the incoming administration. According to data released by the Central Bank of Kenya, between 2011 and 2012, diaspora remittances hit a historic high of $1.17 billion (Sh100.39 billion) making diaspora remittances the fourth highest foreign currency earner for Kenya. While a sizeable amount goes towards family and personal use, if credible investment programmes with policies first. A good way to initiate this would be by holding career fairs abroad to educate them on the opportunities at home. A good example of a similar initiative is the United Nations Development Programme’s Transfer of Knowledge Through Expatriate Nationals (TOKTEN ) initiative. This is a global mechanism for tapping expatriates who have achieved professional success and mobilising them to undertake short-term consultancies in their countries of origin under the aegis of the UN agency. Representation of the diaspora in government is also key. While it may be too late to have nominated members representing the diaspora in the National Assembly as a special interest group for the incoming term under Article 97 (1) (c) of the Constitution, it is not too late to establish diaspora representation at the highest level of government, for example through a ministry, as some countries such as India, Canada, Armenia, Israel, Mali and Bangladesh have done. The Philippines has a Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) that is directly under the office of the president. These countries recognised the value that the diaspora populations were bringing to development efforts back home. Representation can also help define outreach programmes for engaging diaspora communities.

and frameworks that match international standards are put in place, more of the money would readily be invested. But the government must first identify its goals and capacities, then match them to diaspora interests for effective engagement. Kenya not only loses thousands of brilliant minds annually to organisations and governments abroad due to more lucrative opportunities, but also through students abroad settling and working in foreign nations. Kenya is in great need of doctors, nurses, engineers, IT and other skilled professionals. Many Kenyans in the diaspora, who have been abroad for work or study often express the desire to return home but would prefer to have a job guarantee in place

Such initiatives would help to not only strengthen the bond between government and Kenyans abroad, but also create grassroots level ambassadors for the country. In my consulting career over the decades in the US, I have come across Kenyans working as key influencers and executives for global financial, IT and other fields whose connections could be tapped into for the benefit of their homeland. Just as the Kenyan executive at Goldman Sachs can easily make a phone call and find a group of investors willing to invest over $10 million in Kenya, another working as an NYPD officer could initiate cross-training efforts between his employer and the Kenyan police that could also lead to exchange of expertise. Similarly, college students could engage universities to initiate programmes and initiatives to partner with and mentor educational institutions in Kenya. With an effective outreach initiative, it would be easier for these connections to be initiated and utilised for the benefits of all. Kenya is ripe for inclusion of the diaspora in nation building and while extensive consulting will be needed, the three engagement pillars would form a good starting point. Mr Kerre is an entrepreneur and cyber security consultant who lives in New York City.

UN offers great value given its limited budget

T

here is nothing like exposure to smart and idealistic young people to make jaded and world-weary policy-makers and commentators feel better about the future. I have just had that experience meeting delegates to the 22nd World Model United Nations Conference, which brought together in Australia more than 2,000 students from every continent to debate peace, development and human rights, and the role of the UN in securing them. What impressed me most is how passionately this generation of future leaders felt about the relevance and capacity of the UN system. They are right: the UN can deliver when it comes to national security, human security and human dignity. But, as I told them, they have a big task of persuasion ahead of them. No organisation in the world embodies as many dreams, yet provides so many frustrations, as the UN. For most of its history, the Security Council has been the prisoner of great-power manoeuvring; the General Assembly a theater of empty rhetoric; the Economic and Social Council a largely dysfunctional irrelevance; and the Secretariat, for all the dedication and brilliance of a host of individuals, alarmingly inefficient. However, what needs to be better understood publicly is just how many different roles the UN plays. The various

The UN provides great value for what the world spends on it and if it ever ceased to exist, we would have to reinvent it.”
departments, programmes, organs and agencies within the UN system address a broad spectrum of issues, from peace and security between and within states to human rights, health, education, poverty alleviation, disaster relief, refugee protection, trafficking of people and drugs, heritage protection, climate change and the environment, and much more. What is least appreciated of all is how cost-effectively these agencies – for all their limitations – perform overall, in both absolute and comparative terms. The UN’s core functions – leaving aside peacekeeping missions but including its operations at its New York headquarters; at offices in Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi; and at the five regional commissions around the world – now employ 44,000 people at a cost of around $2.5 billion a year. That might sound like a lot, but the Tokyo Fire Department spends about the same amount each year, and the Australian Department of Human

Services spends $3 billion more (with less staff). And that’s just two departments in two of the UN’s 193 member states. Even including related programmes and organs (like the UN Development Programme and the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees), as well as peacekeeping activities, the UN system’s total cost is still only around $30 billion a year. That is less than half the annual budget for New York City, and well under a third of the roughly $105 billion that the US military has been spending each year, on average, in Afghanistan. Wall Street employees received more in annual bonuses ($33.2 billion) in 2007. The whole family of the UN Secretariat and related entities, together with current peacekeepers, adds up to around 215,000 people worldwide — less than one-eighth of the 1.8 million staff employed by McDonald’s worldwide! As the youth gathered in Melbourne understood, is that the UN provides great value for what the world spends on it, and that if it ever ceased to exist, we would have to reinvent it. The downsides are real, but we need to remember the immortal words of Dag Hammarskjold, the UN’s second secretary-general: “The UN was created not to bring us to heaven, but to save us from hell.” Evans is the patron of the World Model UN Conference 2013.

To the editor
Leaders should take the blame for voter apathy
The decision by some Nyanza leaders to blame voters for the predicament facing Prime Minister Raila Odinga, does not hold water. It is surprising that even after realising cases of voter apathy as they claim, they took no serious action to correct the situation. So they too deserve the blame for not mobilising people to turn out in large numbers. Blaming voters for the Raila predicament does not serve the country any good. It is the duty of the politicians to have properly educated Kenyans on the importance of voting. Encouraging Nyanza people to give birth at a a faster rate was shocking to say the least. NAMASAKA PETER, Nairobi

TALKING POINT

It’s sad our leaders didn’t go beyond tribe in choosing petition lawyers
here is a curious trend for choice of lawyers by one petitioner and several respondents over the presidential election at the Supreme Court. The main petitioner, Raila Odinga has chosen his tribesmen George Oraro and Ochieng’ Oduol to represent him. Isaack Hassan’s choice his tribesman Ahmednassir Abdullahi, while Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto have Fred Ngatia and Katwa Kigen respectively. Only the IEBC came with a hybrid for its representation but that could be due to the fact that it is an institution. I’m not rushing into accusing anyone of tribalism and the usual or into interjections of “everyone has a right to legal representation of his or her own choice” . We may be blaming greed and hatred for fanning tribalism, but the problem could be much bigger than we thought; we may need the intervention of psychologists. It could be emotional weakness and the feeling of insecurity. When under duress, like when confronted by an ogre, many shout for help from an unlikely source — Mama! She held us close to her heart. Even though our leaders are trying to put up brave faces, we know that they are restless about this presidential petition. They are under serious stress and when push comes to shove, the closest to mama could be tribesman!. Under such pressure, these leaders must have first shared the stress with their tribesmen (pos-

CONDOM AD SPOT-ON: I want to add my voice to the condom ad debate. I congratulate the makers of the ad. The attention generated by the Weka Condom Mpangoni ad is any marketer’s dream. What one might see as negative, is positive for the ad makers for whom one of the primary objectives was to raise the issue of the spread of Aids in the extra-marital context, and the need for such straying couples to exercise caution. On newspapers, TV, and radio shows, not to mention social media, this ad is a hot topic. HEHO MBIRU, Nairobi

Achebe booked himself a place among the great
What was really the secret behind Achebe’s immense success? Was it ingenuity or some abnormal talent resident in this famous author? Maybe. However, I doubt it. I think Achebe’s creativity was a result of deep reflections coupled with a desire to interact intimately with the world around through skilful imagination. This is the only way one can explain how a young man of 28 could have written the classic Things Fall Apart heavily laden with African proverbs that would put an ordinary 80-year-old man to shame. A similar feat was only achieved by Tom Mboya in politics. DAVID SONYE, Rarieda

Police never help their image with their acts
I read with both interest and sympathy the plight of Mr Suraj Shah and Mr David Kimeli on Naivasha Highway. As a frequent traveller on the route I have my own tales to tell as do many others. The police do not help their own credibility by their actions. If I am only driving at 63 kph behind a delivery lorry, how does a policeman stop me and claim I was driving at 109 kph? When I demanded to see either the speed gun reading or a laptop radar reading I was warned not to be insolent. If the Inspector General can change all this, then he will be a miracle worker.

tion petition it is evident that our leaders are most ethnic. They would rather be represented by their “own” — their tribesmen. Is this the kind of change they preached during their campaigns? Is this what they want the people of Kenya to see and embrace? Don’t our leaders have advisers? Mr Odinga’s lawyer is Oraro, Uhuru’s is Ngatia, Mr Ahmednassir is representing Hassan and Kigen is Ruto’s lawyer. From the names alone you can tell that each leader has his tribesman defending him. It’s a big shame and a pity. CHRISTABEL ODHIAMBO, Maseno

LUCKY MOI: Retired President Daniel Moi, the self-styled professor of politics, is counting basketfuls of blessings. To start with, Moi High School Kabarak emerged top nationally in the 2012 KCSE beating Alliance. Then two of his sons — Gideon and Raymond — won Baringo senatorial seat and Rongai parliamentary seat respectively. The man he groomed into politics, Uhuru Kenyatta, is Kenya’s president-elect. The retired president, who is almost clocking 90, is going easy. The hand of God is with him. JAMES WAKIBIA, Nakuru A MUM HELB: I’ve noted with great concern that of all the many institutions against which complaints are lodged in this and the Cutting Edge column — Safaricom, Airtel, Multi-Choice, HELB, KRA, KQ, and even the Kenya Power (which often literally subjects us to Mpango wa Candle) — the HELB doesn’t respond. The board has been under the leadership of Benjamin Cheboi, who’s now a governor. I hope under the new leadership of Charles Ringera, it’ll be responding to complaints, and e-mails and letters sent to it. KIARIE PETER, Laikipia STARS SHONE: The assertion by Kiarie Peter (Nation, March 25) that he would rather have his teeth pulled out with pliers without anaesthesia than have Super Eagles score against Kenya at extra time is taking a joke too far. Harambee Stars were deemed losers owing to the usual politics where officials receive allowances before the players. Murphy’s law dictates that if something has to go wrong then it will. The referee did well by stretching our “boys” to see whether they would withstand a tooth being pulled out with pliers as Kiarie implies. They did. Nobody has made such a daring move. KAMICHORE MUTINDIRA, Nairobi

Presidential petition shows democracy is taking root in Kenya
The presidential petition has put the country on the world map. The display of wit and comprehensive understanding of the law is yet another feather in the justice system following the far-reaching judicial reforms. What a moment of greatness for the people of this beloved nation! As the proceedings head towards the critical stage, all parties should uphold high standards. Shameful scenes like the ones involving Ms Nazlin Omar must be avoided. Citizens have a right to be heard, but they must adhere to rules of engagement. The highest court in the land deserves respect and decorum. Turning to the two major parties in the petition, so far the learned friends have behaved well. Each side has put up a spirited fight. The Supreme Court directed the re-tallying of votes in 22 polling stations and a review of forms 34 and 36, but Cord’s plea to have a forensic audit of the electronic system was rejected. I salute the Kenyan people for maintaining peace during the proceedings. The citizens have taken the period of the petition as a moment of reflection on just what went wrong with the presidential poll. In fact, many are treating the petition as a therapeutic season after the pain of a contested victory. Elections should cease to be moments of shame and ethnic division. Let us abide by the decision of the court. BENARD. AMAYA, Nairobi

SALARIES AND REMUNERATION COMMISSION

Let us talk about the wage bill

Did you know that 50% of Kenya’s revenue is used to pay public servants? Kenya’s public sector wage bill has almost doubled from Ksh 241 billion in 2008-09 to Ksh 458 billion in 20122013. The Public Wage bill is currently in excess of 50% of the total domestic revenue. This is way above the international best practice of not more than 35% recommended for countries in sub- Saharan Africa. Wage Bill to Recurrent expenditure is estimated to be over 50% compared to the international desirable practice of less than 40% for countries in the sub-Saharan countries. The size of the wage bill has a direct impact on the performance of the national economy in many ways. It slows down growth, pushing the economy into an endless cycle of borrowing and paying debts and making the economy less competitive in the region for investors because of high labor costs. The current huge wage bill in Kenya not only compromises economic growth it also increases inflation and may even harm the country’s job creation prospects and the Government’s ability to deliver on its development plans. For the Government to deliver essential services it has to borrow leaving future generations to shoulder the burden of paying loans. Indeed the country’s long term social and economic development plan, the Vision 2030, could be derailed as the Government uses a huge chunk of revenues to pay salaries and allowances to the public service, meaning that only a small percentage of public funds is left to improve infrastructure and invest in education, health, housing, water and agriculture. The total estimated public sector wage bill for financial year 2012/13 is Kshs.458 billion; against a total budget of Kshs.1.517 Trillion. The creation of new offices as Kenya switches to devolved Government is expected to aggravate this problem with the new government incurring a higher wage bill due to the devolved system of governance. The table below shows some of the sustainability ratios. Economic factor Total Wage Bill: GDP Total Wage Bill: Revenue Total Wage Bill: Recurrent Exp Total Wage Bill: Total Budget Some Sustainability Ratios 2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 10.7% 11.4% 11.3% 49.3% 47.6% 47.1% 55.2% 54.7% 53.1% 40.4% 38.5% 38.7% 2011/12 11.0% 48.1% 51.6% 38.0% 2012/13 12.1% 50.4% 43.3% 30.2%

The wage bill as it currently stand is simply unaffordable an unsustainable! We are living beyond our means. What is your view?

DISPUTE | Clergy have faulted intention of message

Condom advert set to return on air after talks
Team to look into ways the advert can be changed to address concerns raised
BY JEREMIAH KIPLANG’AT
[email protected] controversial advert will be put back on air after concerns raised by various parties are addressed, the Aids control council has said. The National Aids Control Council (NACC) said yesterday it had temporarily pulled out the Weka Condom Mpangoni advert after it caused uproar recently. “We only discontinued it when various stakeholders expressed their concerns. The NACC chairperson and the board are now studying the concerns before we return it,” said the council’s head of communications Jennifer Wambua.

She said a technical committee had been established to see how the advert could be changed to accommodate the concerns raised. Last week, some religious organisations called for the suspension of the advert which urged women who engage in extra-marital sexual relations to use condoms. The leaders faulted the timing, message and intention of the advert, asking that it be pulled out. Ms Wambua said the council had invited religious organisations to present their grievances to the NACC board. Dr Patrick Mureithi, the council’s head of monitoring and evaluation, said they were exploring all ways to reduce the number of new HIV infections. “We are now at 100,000 new infections per year and our target is to eliminate these fresh infections,” Dr Mureithi said. Meanwhile, the council will hold its second National Biennial HIV and Aids conference at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies in Nairobi from May 6-9. A similar conference was held in 2011 and attracted more than 500 participants.

Driver killed in road crash
A 40-year-old man died on the spot yesterday when the rear tyres of the vehicle he was driving burst. Three others were seriously injured. Igembe South deputy police boss Joseph Chebii said the accident happened on the Antubetwe-Maua road. Mr Ayub Musa lost control of the vehicle after the tyres burst and it rolled several times, he said. The body was taken to Maua Methodist Hospital mortuary. The injured are in the same hospital. The extensively damaged vehicle was towed to Maua police station for inspection. Mr Chebii advised drivers to be careful now the wet season had started.

Drunken students sent home
More than 30 Sengani Girls High School students were yesterday sent home for taking alcohol. A student, who declined to be named, said her colleagues, who had attended a science congress at the neighbouring Tala High School in Matungulu District, were duped into drinking soda laced with alcohol by their hosts. The girls are said to have taken some of the laced soda back to their school to share with colleagues. Principal Stella Wambua said she had only suspended the students. “I did not expel them but suspended all those involved,” she said.

Why clergy oppose ad
Immorality: Religious leaders argue that the ‘Weka Condom Mpangoni’ advert is promoting immorality rather than playing its intended role. Affairs: Bishop Julius Kalu of the ACK, Mombasa Diocese, said last week the advert openly agitated for extra-marital affairs and sex among school-going children.

Sudans start pullout from Abyei area
UNITED NATIONS, Wednesday
The United Nations peacekeeping force in the oil-rich Abyei area, which is contested by South Sudan and Sudan, has completed its first verification mission to make sure that troops from both governments pull out of the demilitarised border zone, UN officials said here today. “This first joint verification mission by Sudan and South Sudan is an important first step toward implementing all security arrangements between the two countries,” said Herve Ladsous, UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations. “There’s more to do, and it is essential for long-term peace in the region that both countries build on this success,” Ladsous said. The final status of Abyei, a disputed region straddling the border between Sudan and South Sudan, has yet to be determined. It is one of the outstanding issues of the so-called Comprehensive Peace Agreement which helped bring an end to the conflict between Sudan and South Sudan, before the latter’s independence in July 2011. Previously, UN SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon urged both countries to peacefully work towards resolving the matter. (Xinhua)

Progress in the easing of ban
Powers: In the referendum, 95 per cent of Zimbabweans backed a new constitution that would trim President Mugabe’s powers, limit term. Concern: The EU says it welcomed calls for national reconciliation and peaceful political activity by Zimbabwe’s leaders, including the president and premier, but remained concerned by reports of political intimidation and harassment. Rewards: Monday’s removal of dozens of names from the blacklist was the largest since a policy U-turn last July, when on Britain’s suggestion the 27-nation bloc pledged to lift sanctions should the country hold a “credible” vote on a new constitution.
Australia, Canada and the United States have their own set of sanctions against the veteran ruler and his allies. The Friends of Zimbabwe expressed concern about the renewed crackdown on civil society groups critical to President Mugabe. They also pledged to review the remaining sanctions if the country held a credible election. The sanctions were originally imposed in 2002 on the grounds of political violence, human rights abuses and the failure to hold free and fair elections.

We look forward to better ties with Zimbabwe to help accelerate its path towards prosperity, says team

BY KITSEPILE NYATHI
NATION CORRESPONDENT HARARE, Wednesday

M

ajor Western donors have pledged to support Zimbabwe’s economic revival if the country holds credible elections later this year. The Friends of Zimbabwe, a group made up of the country’s major donors held ground breaking talks with Harare’s three governing parties in London on Tuesday where the pledge was made. A new constitution adopted on March 16 paves the way for presidential and parliamentary elections in June or July to end a power sharing government between President Robert Mugabe and his main rival, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. In a communiqué released after the talks, the donors pledged to work with anyone who wins a credible election. “We will continue to work closely with partners in the

country, region and wider international community,” reads part of the communiqué. “For our part, we collectively stand ready to broaden, deepen and harmonise our engagement and support as the country moves further down the path of democracy and respect for human rights, with credible elections being a crucial element in this respect.” The donors comprise Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Despite sanctions imposed on President Mugabe and his inner circle in 2002 for alleged electoral fraud, the donors have poured in $2.6 billion in aid to Zimbabwe since the formation of the coalition government in 2009. “We noted that aid from

international donors, deployed in line with Zimbabwean priorities, has been instrumental in improving food security and agriculture, in delivering of basic services such as health education, and water sanitation, and in the strengthening of democratic processes,” Friends of Zimbabwe said in the communiqué. “We look forward to strengthening our commercial ties with Zimbabwe to help accelerate its path towards prosperity.” The peaceful referendum on the new constitution raised hopes of a credible election after the 2008 polls were marred by violence and allegations of vote rigging. The EU responded by lifting a travel ban and an asset freeze on 81 Zimbabweans officials and eight state owned companies. However, President Mugabe’s family and eight security commanders remained on the list with the EU saying they remained a threat to a peaceful election.

Protest by Chinese traders in Cameroon over insecurity
BY YUH TIMCHIA
NATION Correspondent YAOUNDÉ, Wednesday Chinese citizens residing in Cameroon have shut down their shops since the start of this week in two of Cameroon’s main cities in protest against growing insecurity. Since 2004, at least six Chinese nationals have been killed in Cameroon, three of them killed this year. Over 30 burglaries targeting Chinese have been recorded since 2004 with most of them not resulting in suspects being prosecuted, the Chinese nationals say. They say their shops in the economic hub of Douala and the capital Yaoundé will remain closed till the government of their host country arrests and punishes those guilty of the crimes and takes measures to ensure they are protected. “We strongly demand that this insecurity be taken very seriously,” a notice posted in front of Chineserun businesses in the capital Yaoundé reads. Analysts have termed the plight of the Chinese living in Cameroon as xenophobic attacks as it appears Cameroonians are increasingly becoming wary of growing Chinese presence. Some Cameroonians consider the Chinese who mostly run small businesses as intruders scooping away opportunities meant for locals. Rows between Chinese and local hawkers are quite frequent. The local traders claim government levies no taxes on Chinese traders, and have even threatened to expel them forcefully.

BANGUI, Wednesday

Liberia hit by row over religion
BY TERRENCE SESAY
NATION Correspondent MONROVIA, Wednesday Hundreds of Muslims stormed the National Legislature on Tuesday to counter the request by a cross-section of Christians to transform Liberia into a Christian state. The Christians said they had gathered over 700,000 signatures for this purpose, which is far above the 10,000 signatures needed to amend the Constitution for such a purpose. Under the banner : “Liberians united for the adherence and preservation of Chapter 111, Article 14 of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia”, the Muslims petitioned the Legislature not to heed the request of the Christians group to transform Liberian into a Christian nation. The Muslims argued that implementing the Christian groups’ request to transform a multi-religious state into a Christian nation poses a threat to national security and was risky politically. Meanwhile, in what appears to be a redemptive move, the ruling Unity Party has harshly criticised calls by the Christian group to transform Liberia into a Christian state.

he prime minister in the ousted Central African Republic regime said today that Bangui’s new strongman had reappointed him as the troubled nation’s new rulers tried to restore order and reassure the international community. Power returned to the capital four days after Michel Djotodia and his Seleka rebel group seized Bangui, forcing president Francois Bozize to flee. Bozize, who had also seized power in a 2003 coup, has surfaced in Cameroon, where authorities have said he was awaiting relocation to another country. Nicolas Tiangaye, a lawyer and respected former human rights activist, was the consensus prime minister named in January under a power-sharing deal between Bozize and Seleka that ended a first rebel offensive. “I have been renamed prime minister, the decree has been signed,” Tiangaye told AFP. Djotodia, a more enigmatic figure who spent years as a civil servant and diplomat before founding a rebel movement in 2005, had said on Monday he

Questions: South Africa lost 13 of its troops stationed in Bangui during the violence, in the heaviest military loss since the end of apartheid two decades ago. The deaths shocked South Africa and voices have risen to question the true purpose of Pretoria’s military presence in the Central African Republic.

Oscar Pistorius’ brother on trial over fatal road crash
JOHANNESBURG, Wednesday
The older brother of South African star sprinter Oscar Pistorius went on trial today over a deadly road crash five years ago. Mr Carl Pistorius, 28, faces charges of culpable homicide after a 2008 road accident in which a 36-year-old woman motorcyclist was killed. His appearance comes a day before his Paralympian hero brother makes a court challenge to the stringent bail conditions imposed on him after the Valentine’s Day killing of his model girlfriend. Among the conditions imposed on Pistorius, 26, last month was the surrender of his passport and mandatory drug and alcohol tests. The athlete known as “Blade Runner” is also banned from returning to his upmarket gated home in Pretoria where he shot Reeva Steenkamp, claiming to have mistaken her for an intruder. Pistorius, who became the first double amputee to compete against able-bodied athletes in last year’s Olympic Games in London, is currently out on bail of one million rand (Ksh9.2m). The trial of Carl Pistorius opened with arguments over an application by the public

Lawyer Kenny Oldwage, who is part of Oscar Pistorius’s murder trial defence team, is also representing the brother. Mr Oldwage successfully defended a driver in a highprofile accident in 2010 that killed former president Nelson Mandela’s greatgranddaughter Zenani. The driver was acquitted. (AFP)

Drivers unveil secrets of Senegal ex-leaders
What really amused one former president was the nick names used to refer to him
BY TAMBA MATTHEW
NATION Correspondent DAKAR, Wednesday found it very difficult “to fulfil my responsibility as head of a polygamous family of three wives.” But Fall described Senghor as a “generous man and very punctual”. He quoted Senghor as always saying “when it is time it was time, before the time it is not time and after the time it was not time!” The former driver who obtained his drivers license in 1957 and retired in 1987 also recounted that Senghor was also often got annoyed and at that moment, “he would remain very silent.” “Sometimes when I am driving him and something made him annoyed, he would ask me to stop and he would walk out of the car and broke a tree branch and observed with high concentration for a while, he would then throw it away and get back into the car,” Mr Fall said, adding “no one understood his behaviour when he was vexed”. One thing that always struck the driver was that the former president almost never carried money with him. But he explained that Senghor’s First Lady, the Frenchwoman Collette Senghor was “not stingy” because “she frequently left an envelop containing up to 50,000 francs (about $100) in the back seat of the presidential car when ever I drove her for shopping or to Church.” On his part, Mr Fallilou Diop, 72, the man who drove ex-President Abdou Diouf limousine from 1981 to 1996 described the second Senegalese president as a “a real statesman…very sober, introvertive and discrete and hence I even do not know much about his private life”. But the only thing he said that was true for him and many of the people who were not highbrows but maintained constant contacts with the leader was that “if you want him to do anything for you, you better go through his wife” Elizabeth, a a mulatoo. Mr Mamadou Diop, 60, was ex-president Abdoulaye Wade’s driver from 1976, two years after he (Wade) set up the first opposition party in Senegal in a virtually single-party system and hence he said it was a risk that many drivers feared but he accepted the challenge because he was educated by Wade. “My parents urged me to remain loyal to him for life and throughout the 34 years I served him, we never had any brushes,” Mr Diop said. But what really amused the former president was the nick names he was called “he laughed at them seriously” , the driver said. Among the most risible are the nomenclature “fantomas” or ‘ghostly’ and “Jomboor” or ‘cunning rabbit’ by which expresident Senghor called him (Wade) because he convinced Senghor that he (Wade) was setting up a political party not to rival with Senghor, but to accompany him and give his (Senghor’s) regime a democratic outlook. But when that was established, Wade came out openly to campaign for power to replace Senghor. “He was and still a humourous person,” Diop continued, saying that Wade was “more than a generous person and maybe that is why all this scandal about him today”. He said before becoming president, “he could shut himself up in his office and work till 2 am when he had no money”. Unlike his predecessors who hardly travelled with their drivers, Wade took his chauffeur almost everywhere he travelled “and hence I have been to almost every country in the world,” Mr Diop said. “I was his advisor sort of…he consulted me on practically every issue.’’

ollowing the handover of five presidential limousines of Senegal’s last three leaders early this month to the army museum, the drivers of these cars have made startling revelations about the “unknown” personalities of the ex-presidents. The Nation spoke to all of them beginning with Alioune Fall, 81, the man who drove Senegal’s first president Leopold Sedar Senghor’s limousine from 1969 to 1981. Mr Fall still recalls the late leader’s “modesty and respect for his personnel, high or low but he was not an ordinary person…whenever he was around, you feel the presence of some invisible person.” He recounted that President Senghor liked to greet people and even his garage staff every morning, “but when ever he approached us, my colleagues would shy away and the president would ask me why are they always dancing away when I come around?” Mr Fall said it was probably for this reason that many other chauffeurs who attempted to drive President Senghor’s limousine were frequently involved in accidents. “I should have not allowed you to go on pilgrimage to Mecca,” Senghor told Mr Fall upon his return from Saudi Arabia in 1975. During his absence, Mr Fall said his colleagues were involved in several accidents with Senghor on board. “They almost killed me when you were away,” Mr Fall recalled Senghor (a fervent Catholic) telling him when he resumed duty after the pilgrimage. The presidential driver was illiterate in French but spoke and wrote Arabic fairly. It was for this reason also that Senghor never parted with Fall who

OPPOSED | ‘This is expression of open support for forces that unfortunately continue to bet on a military solution in Syria’

Syrian rebels’ Arab League seat ‘illegal’
Opposition opens ‘embassy’ in Qatar as isolation of the Assad regime grows
MOSCOW, Wednesday

R

ussia today called the Arab League’s decision to award Syria’s seat at the organisation to the anti-regime National Coalition “illegal and indefensible”. “In terms of international law, the League’s decision on Syria is illegal and indefensible because the government of the Syrian Arab Republic was and is the legitimate representative member-state at the United Nations,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. Syrian opposition chief Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib took Syria’s seat at the League on Tuesday as Arab leaders gathered in Doha for their annual summit. The move sparked a furious reaction from Damascus. Russia is viewed as one of Syrian President Bashar al-

Assad’s few allies because it vetoed three rounds of UN Security Council sanctions against his government. The foreign ministry noted that Khatib used the opportunity in Doha to call for the establishment of internationally-enforced no-fly zones over areas in Syria controlled by the armed opposition. It then accused the Arab League — an organisation with which it has had tense ties throughout the two-yearlong conflict — of effectively supporting a military solution to the conflict instead of peace talks. “We are talking about the expression of open support for forces that unfortunately continue to bet on a military solution in Syria, without looking back at the suffering of Syrians, which is growing by the day,” said the statement. Meanwhile, the Syrian opposition opened today its first “embassy” in Qatar. The head of the Syrian National Coalition, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib and Qatari State Minister for Foreign Affairs Khaled al-Attiya inaugurated the representative office

sent that has morphed into a civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people. In Tehran, Iran’s foreign ministry also criticised the move. “Handing Syria’s seat to the so-called provisional government is a dangerous precedent by the members of the Arab League,” Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted by Iranian media as telling reporters. Salehi said, without elaborating, that continuation of “such mistakes will only add to the problems” . In a separate report on the official IRNA news agency, deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said this decision to hand the seat to the opposition “is in effect the end of the (Arab) League’s role in the region.” Meanwhile, Syrian warplanes launched two strikes on Qaboon in northeastern Damascus today, as rebels fightingAssad’s regime seized three army posts near the

Immigrant wins $338m lottery prize
NEW YORK, Wednesday
The immigrant owner of a US convenience store claimed a $338.3 million (KSh28.7 billion) lottery jackpot yesterday and said that, despite being catapulted into the ranks of the super rich, his heart won’t change. Mr Pedro Quezada, 44, celebrated the golden ticket he bought on Saturday with a televised press conference at the New Jersey lottery headquarters. The Dominican-born man faced 175-million-to-one odds when he bought a “quick pick” ticket with the correct five numbers and a Powerball — choosing to let the lottery’s computer, rather than his own guesswork, do the picking. Mr Quezada purchased the ticket in an Eagle Liquors store in Passaic, New Jersey where he went regularly to buy beer. “My life will have to change with so much money, but my heart won’t change,” the father of five said in Spanish. One thing that might not change is his lottery habit. Mr Quezada joked he might still buy tickets “in search of more.” Mr Quezada was shocked when he first found out, reports said. It was only on Monday, when he went back into Eagle Liquors, that he realised his good fortune. (AFP)

Italy court orders retrial in Knox sex-murder case
ROME, Wednesday
In an astonishing legal about-turn, Italy’s highest appeal court yesterday quashed the acquittal of US student Amanda Knox over the sexual assault and brutal murder of her British housemate in 2007 and ordered a retrial. Ms Knox and her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito (below) — originally sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison for killing Meredith Kercher — were acquitted on appeal in 2011 after four years behind bars. Both now face a retrial in a Florence court after judges upheld a prosecution appeal against their acquittals, although no date has yet been set. Ms Knox, 25, said the news was “painful” and insisted “the prosecution’s theory of my involvement in Meredith’s murder has been repeatedly revealed to be completely unfounded and unfair”. “No matter what happens, my family and I will face this continuing legal battle as we always have, confident in the truth and with our heads held high in the face of wrongful accusations and unreasonable adversity,” she said in a statement. Ms Knox’s lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova told journalists outside the Rome courthouse that the Seattle student was upset but “willing to fight”. Kercher, 21, was found half-naked with her throat slashed in a pool of blood in her bedroom in the house in the university town of Perugia that she shared with Knox in November 2007. Prosecutors alleged that she was killed in a drug-fuelled sex attack, claiming Knox delivered the final blows while Sollecito and a third defendant held the victim down. Investigators insist that 47 knife wounds on Kercher and the apparent use of two different knives in the attack meant that more than one killer had been involved. Knox returned to the United States immediately after her release in 2011 and will likely be tried in absentia. If she is convicted definitively, Italy may seek her extradition. “It will take most of this year for the appeal to take place. Eventually, if the conviction is confirmed, there would be extradition proceedings,” said Giovanna Fiorentino, a specialist with criminal law firm Lansbury Worthington in London. (AFP)

Gap between value of plastic money deals and mobile cash transactions narrows in 2012 on the back of aggressive marketing by card issuers and network providers
BY MUTHOKI MUMO
[email protected] ommercial Banks effort to capture back the electronic payments market taken over by mobile money transfer services is bearing fruit, with statistics showing transactions concluded through plastic money getting at par with those on mobile money. According to the latest statistics from the Central Bank of Kenya, in January the value of money transacted using plastic money grew 136 per cent to Sh129.86 billion, only Sh11.26 billion lower than the Sh141.12 billion transacted over mobile money. In comparison, in January last year the Sh114.06 billion that went through mobile money was more than double the Sh54.94 billion transacted through payment cards and by extension through banks. The gap between the value of plastic money transactions and mobile money transactions narrowed steadily in 2012 on the back of aggressive marketing by card issuers and network providers in the country. “Banks have campaigned actively to draw in more card users.

Seacom restores data link
BY NATION REPORTER
A submarine cable company yesterday said it had restored link to a majority of its customers who were disconnected on Friday last week. In a statement yesterday afternoon, Seacom said 75 per cent of its customers had had their connectivity restored. The firm said it was in the process of reconnecting the rest of the customers. Telecommunication firms in East and South Africa connecting to international traffic via the Seacom cable have been experiencing periodic outages since Friday last week with a link between Egypt and Europe. The company has since entered into contracts with firms that run cables on the Mediterranean to provide alternative routes to its clients. The cause of the cable cut is yet to be determined. “The Seacom subsea cable cut in the Mediterranean is being investigated to understand the root cause of the outage. Ships are being sent to the area to bring up the cable and implement repairs,” said Seacom in a statement. Although Kenya has three other undersea cables— TEAMS, EASSy and LION2— Seacom provides most of the international data links to Kenya and is used by operators such as Safaricom and Kenya Data Networks. Seacom was officially launched in 2009 and covers Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Mozambique.

strong push by both Visa and MasterCard to increase acceptability of card payments at merchant outlets,” said Mr Danson Muchemi, chief executive of electronic payment processor, JamboPay. In January 2013, 31.4 million transactions were carried out using payment cards, in comparison with the 11.67 million transactions carried out in January 2012. The majority, 97.68 per cent, of all these transactions were concluded using debit cards, a pointer to the fact that Kenyans were still credit averse. Last month, Visa announced it would target small-scale retailers and schools with its card payment technology. In January, MasterCard inked a deal with Equity Bank to issue at least five million cards to Kenyans and point-of-sale (POS) devices to retailers before the end of the year. MasterCard has also indicated that it plans on using youth associations as a marketing channel for its products. Further, Mr Muchemi says integration of mobile money and card payment technology by some Kenyan banks has been partly responsible for the dramatic increase in the values transacted through plastic money. However, he adds, mobile money providers will need greater innovation to keep up. “Although mobile money is more widely accepted, it is still primarily a money transfer tool. Innovation is needed to eliminate friction and delays when subscribers use mobile money to pay for goods and services,” he said. Although the picture on the electronic payment front may seem rosy, data collected by research firm Consumer Insight Africa indicates that cash still accounts for 95 per cent of all payments in the country due to low acceptability of electronic forms of payment.

Direct flights see tourists from Middle East increase by 92pc
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
New direct flights to various destinations in the world have significantly increased the number of tourists visiting Kenya. Direct flights between Kenya and source markets in the Middle East, India and China have seen tourist arrivals rise by as much as 92 per cent in some markets. The trend is expected to continue because of the easy connectivity to Nairobi by airlines. Releasing the results on the performance of tourism in 2012, outgoing Minister for Tourism Dan Mwazo said direct flights to Middle East, India and Asia have led to a strong growth in tourist numbers from these markets. However, arrivals from other markets in Europe and America declined. Overall, tourists from the United Arab Emirates, which is in the Middle East, increased by 92 per cent to 40,485 last year compared to 2011. “Growth from the UAE has been boosted by established routes from key airlines including Emirates, Etihad and Kenya Airways, which the Kenya Tourism Board entered into partnership with,” Mr Mwazo said. Previously visitors from UAE had to fly to Europe before travelling to Nairobi, making the travel expensive and time consuming. This has, however, changed with the launch of direct flight from the Middle East to Nairobi. Another market that recorded an increase in tourists to Kenya because of easy connectivity is Australia which saw a 11 per cent rise in arrivals to 26,500. Japan tourists increased by 10 per cent to 14,024 in 2012 compared to the previous year. “Although Kenya is a long haul destination for these markets the flight connectivity offers an incentive,” Mwazo said. In areas where there is a lack of direct connectivity, or where national carrier cancelled direct flights, such as the Nairobi-Rome route, tourist numbers dropped. The cancellation of direct chartered flights to Kenya’s Coast also led to reduction in tourist numbers. “For the Italian market, the cancellation of direct flights by Kenya Airways to Rome and reduced charter frequency at the coast has contributed to the decline of arrivals from Italy,” the minister said.

EXPANSION | Bank lays out strategy

Former EABL boss to head Diageo’s spirits division
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Fo r m e r E a s t A f r i ca n Breweries Ltd managing director Gerald Mahinda has been appointed managing director of Diageo’s Africa Spirits Transformation Unit with effect from July 1. This is a newly created position in Diageo’s business as the company seeks to grow the spirits market in Africa. Mr Mahinda left EABL in 2009 to head Diageo’s South African alcoholic drinks company, Brandhouse. During his time at Brandhouse, sales rose by 33 per cent, catapulting the business to the second largest alcoholic beverage company

Family Bank’s after tax profit rises by 66pc
Lending rates rose to more than 25pc, making borrowing very expensive
BY GRIFFINS OMWENGA
[email protected] amily Bank has recorded a 66 per cent increase in its profit after tax to Sh561 million for the period ended December 2012 up from Sh354 million in 2011. The bank grew its interest income to Sh4.7 billion from Sh2.8 billion in the period under review but a three-fold increase in interest expense diluted the profits. Interest expense increased to Sh1.48 billion last year from Sh490 million in 2011 owing to a high interest rates. The lending rates rose to more than 25 per cent, making borrowing expensive. Family Bank Managing Director Mr Peter Munyiri said the firm incurred high interest expense on deposits owing to its limited cash reserves. This, he said, compelled the bank to take deposits even when they were expensive. “Some individuals and institutions were asking for as high as 30 per cent for the deposits which we sometimes had to reject,” said Mr Munyiri during an investor briefing in Nairobi yesterday. In spite of the high average lending rates, the firm grew its loan portfolio by 9 per cent to Sh17.9 billion and advances from Sh 16.3 billion in 2011. The bank’s chairman Mr Wilfred Kiboro cited “a very thin” balance sheet and financial muscle to fund expansion plans,saying they would soon call on shareholders to inject more capital. The bank plans to raise Sh2 billion 10-year loan from a development finance institution and bond issue to boost its lending business as well as cut reliance on customer deposits and shareholders for growth. “We are just waiting for the election jitters to calm down and international financiers to have more confidence in the country so as to allow for the final deliberations on the disbursement of the funds,” said Mr Munyiri. The cash raised will also fund Family Bank’s physical expansion plan.

Cyprus to probe its banks
NICOSIA, Wednesday
Faced with mounting public anger over the EU-IMF bailout deal which he struck, President Nicos Anastasiades is launching a criminal investigation into how Cypriot banks were brought to their knees. His cabinet was to meet today to appoint an investigator or commission to determine any criminal, moral or administrative responsibility, or uncover cases of incompetence, for the crisis. But as the authorities struggle to have banks reopen tomorrow after a 12-day closure prompted by fears of a run-on deposits, the government said it was postponing the meeting by a day. The powerful opposition party Akel, meanwhile, has called for a demonstration tonight. (AFP)

It is a perennial problem in Lima and the surrounding area, where about a million of the more than eight million people lack reliably clean water. Faced with water shortage, some innovators at Peru’s University for Engineering and Technology hit upon the novel idea. “If the problem is water, we’ll make some,” said Alejandro Aponte, one of the people who worked on the project, which was both an engineering feat and a marketing challenge. Enough water is sucked from the air by this huge contraption located on the edge of a busy highway in Peru to fill a 100litre tank each day. The system required a location where the humidity was at least 30 per cent — not a problem in Lima, where the dewpoint sometimes hits 98 per cent despite the barren landscape where there is very little evident vegetation and not very much actual rainfall. The effort required figuring out how to draw moisture from the air on a large enough scale, and how to let people know that the water was available.

he message emblazoned on a billboard outside the Peruvian capital sounds almost too good to be true: drinkable water for anyone who wants some in this arid village. Even more intriguingly, the fresh, pure water on offer along a busy road in this dusty town some 90km south of Lima, has been extracted, as if by magic, from the humid air. Within the enormous, raised, double-panelled billboard inviting all takers is concealed a tube, wires and mechanical equipment that draws the water from the air and purifies it.

TOURISM | Numbers below expectation

Elections case blamed for low hotel booking
Hoteliers says move to extend school term has affected Easter holiday travel
BY MATHIAS RINGA
[email protected] CHRONOLOGY

Plans to relocate Court of Appeal halted
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Mombasa Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has stopped plans to relocate the Court of Appeal from Mombasa to Malindi after lawyers claimed they were not consulted on the decision. Law Society of Kenya Mombasa branch chairman Eric Nyongesa said the decentralisation of the court was suspended until May 1 to enable the society to consult the Judicial Service Commission, which came up with the proposal. The LSK branch had claimed that the decision was passed without consulting advocates, their clients and other court users as is mandated. The lawyers had expressed concern over the manner in which they were “side-lined” by the Judicial Service Commission while deciding to move the Court of Appeal from Mombasa, which they argued is the most central region in Coast Province. They argued that the JSC contravened the Court of Appeal rules, which have not been amended to create additional registries or move others. In January, the CJ announced that he had reorganised the courts, and decentralised the appeal court to areas where there were backlogs of cases such as Nyeri, Kisumu and Mombasa.

They were ‘side-lined’

Sector facing key challenges
Trouble in Euro zone: The key markets in Europe are currently reeling under a financial crisis that has eroded consumer confidence and led to cuts in luxuries like travel. Election: Tourists kept off due to jitters over the elections that were held in the shadow of the chaotic polls in 2007. Competition: There is rising competition from other destinations.
Association (MCTA) chairman Mohamed Hersi said bookings for Easter had taken a nosedive owing to the petition, which is to be concluded during the festivities. “After the country voted peacefully, booking from local and international markets shot up. But currently, they are below our expectations,” he added. Mr Hersi, who is also the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort general manager, said their occupancy rate is 60 per cent. During Easter, he said, the hotel expects occupancy to rise to between 70 and 80 per cent compared to 90 per cent in the previous holidays like Christmas.

H

otels have recorded low business ahead of the Easter holiday due to fears of chaos over the presidential election petition. The establishments have recorded a bed occupancy of 60 per cent, which is lower than the 80 per cent normally attained during Easter. After the peaceful conclusion of the March 4 General Election, hoteliers expected to do brisk business due to a flow of booking enquiries from local and international travel agencies.

But when the petition challenging the declaration of Uhuru Kenyatta as Presidentelect started, they suspended travel plans and adopted a wait-and-see attitude. The slump was also worsened by the fact that the verdict is expected by Saturday, which is in the middle of the holiday. Business has also been hit by the decision to close schools on April 12. Most parents heading to the Coast prefer to celebrate the festivities with their children. Mombasa and Coast Tourist

Squatters ordered to vacate oil firm’s land
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Mombasa Squatters who invaded an oil company’s piece of land in the Port Reitz area of Mombasa over a decade ago have been ordered to leave. Mombasa High Court judge Maureen Odero ruled that the land belonged to the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited. Three pipelines, which move crude oil, refined oil and gas between Port Reitz and Changamwe pass through the land, and Lady Justice Odero said there were serious safety concerns. Noting the fire disaster in Sinai the slums of Nairobi in 2011 where 100 people died, the judge said it was reckless to occupy such installations. The squatters claim to have acquired the land by adverse

possession, but the court found their claim to have occupied it since 1965 a “barefaced falsehood”. “The defendants have not been in occupation for the statutory 12 years and adverse possession has not been proved,” the judge said. She said KPRL had no legal obligation to provide alternative land to the squatters.

Ministry takes over beaches to stop grabbers
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kisumu The Fisheries ministry is taking over five beaches in Kisumu in a bid to keep off land grabbers. It has, through the Lands ministry, formally announced the decision to take over Dunga, Usoma, Paga, Kichinjio and Asat beaches in Nyanza region through an advert appearing at the Daily Nation on March 24. The decision will be formalised within 60 days. Those opposing the government’s move have been asked to complain in writing to the district physical planning officer. Nyanza Fisheries director Mike Obadha attributed the move to the rising cases of grabbing in the region. “Beaches are government properties controlled by the Fisheries ministry. Investors are now laying claim to land near the beaches,” Mr Obadha said. Area physical planning boss Robert Kiprono said the move would help the fisheries department protect the beaches. “The department intends to formalize ownership of these beaches,” he added. Residents of Kisumu have raised the alarm over the alleged grabbing of public land by private developers. Already, parts of Dunga Beach next to Kiboko Bay Resort are being fenced by developers.

Tests to be done on slain Italian today

Pupils in hospital after taking herbs
Two pupils are admitted to hospital after they consumed unknown herbs. Eldoret West OCPD Erastus Muthamia said police were searching for a man who sold to the pupils of Central Primary School in Uasin Gishu County the herbs and asked the public for information that would lead to his arrest.

Traders blame power Chiefs reject stolen outages for crime wave livestock penalties
Frequent power blackouts in Nyamira County have been blamed for the increase of crime in the region. Traders in the area yesterday urged Kenya Power to address the problem urgently to prevent further losses. Chamber of Commerce and Industry branch official Anam Moturi said hotels, cyber cafes, schools and tea factories were the most affected. KP officials have blamed heavy rains in the area for the blackouts. Chiefs in Kuria, Migori County, are up in arms over a decision that they compensate people whose livestock is stolen in their areas. The chiefs said the move was “punitive and outmoded” . Kuria East DC Humphrey Nakitare said the decision was made after consultations with the District Development Committee. The move was prompted by rising cattle thefts in the region with some chiefs being accused of complicity.

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
THE MINISTRY OF STATE FOR PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION AND INTERNAL SECURITY ON THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT CO-ORDINATION ACT AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT
• The Ministry has noted with great concern an orchestrated and concerted effort to discredit and demonise the National co-ordination service created under the National Government Co-ordination Act to co-ordinate service delivery by the National Government under schedule four of the Constitution. The Constitution creates two levels of governments – the national and the county levelwhich are ‘distinct’ and ‘inter-dependant’as provided for in Article 6(2) of the Constitution.The functions of each level of government are clearly delineated and cannot be performed by the other level of government without a legal transfer by agreement between the two levels of government as envisaged in Article 187 of the Constitution. • Section 17 of Sixth Schedule to the Constitution provides that the system of government known as Provincial Administration shall be restructured to accord with and respect the devolved government. Parliament enacted the National Government Co-ordination Act to facilitate the restructuring envisaged by the Constitution. Towards this end the Provincial Administration has been restructured to provide a mechanism to coordinate the functions of the National Government in the Counties. Section 15 of the National Government Co-ordination Act provides for appointment of County Commissioners in respect of the County, a Deputy County Commissioner to replace the District Commissioner and the Assistant County Commissioner to replace the District Officer. The positions of Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs have been retained. • The Act was passed by Parliament following extensive and comprehensive stakeholder consultations and public participation facilitated by the Ministry, the Kenya Law Reform Commission and the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution (CIC). The Act was also informed by the findings of the Taskforce on Devolved Government and the National Policy on Devolution adopted by the Cabinet to guide the roll-out of devolved governments. • It is important to appreciate that both the National Government and the County Government are creatures of the Constitution and were elected by Kenyans to deliver specific services. For this reason the Constitution demands that County Government be allocated 15% of the national budget, while the National Government is responsible for 85% of the budget. It is also important to appreciate that while the county government is responsible only for specific functions in the County, the National Government has a national mandate that cuts across all the 47 Counties in the Country. • To ensure effective coordination of the functions of the two levels of Government, the County Government Act has established a mechanism for coordinating the functions of the County Governments. The National Government Coordination Act provides a similar mechanism for the National Government. • It is therefore not prudent for any political leader to create the impression that the County Government is a substitute for National Government or that the County Government can arbitrally acquire assets belonging to the National Government without due process. The Transition Authority is the legally created body charged with the responsibility of allocating offices or official accommodation to the Governor and other County Staff. • Unfortunately an impression has been carefully but erroneously being created to the effect that the governors are entitled to take over national government offices in the counties including those owned by State Corporations and the former Provincial Administration. The National Government will continue to exist in the counties and will require these assets to continue providing services assigned to the National Government in those counties • The audit and sharing of assets between the two levels of government is a responsibility of the Transition Authority and this is ongoing. Indeed the Transition Authority has identified offices for all county governments from which to operate. Some County governments have been allocated temporary accommodation in National Government offices while their permanent offices are being sourced either through renovation of local government offices, lease of private offices or construction of new premises. This spirit of cooperation and support to county governments should be encouraged and supported. • Any complaint or dispute pertaining to allocation or sharing of offices between the County Government and the National Government must be channeled through the Transition Authority to avoid a state of anarchy that is not tenable. • For avoidance of doubt, all assets belonging to the system of Government commonly known as Provincial Administration in all Counties are National Government assets as provided for in section 21 of the National Government Act. Any move to encroach or forcefully acquire National Government assets outside the provision of transition to County Government Act will not be allowed and appropriate action will be taken according to the law. • The Consitution provides that the National and County Governments will operate on the basis of mutual respect, consultation and cooperation. The National Government has embraced this spirit and is already facilitating the operationization of the County Governments. • Leaders should avoid making comments that appear or intended to poison the relationship between the two Govenments even before the County Government have commenced their work. • The greater public interest will be served when the two levels of Government embrace the spirit of complementality, support and consultation as envisaged in article 189 of the Constitution. Any conflict between the two governments will only undermine service delivery. MINISTRY OF STATE FOR PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION AND INTERNAL SECURITY 28th March 2013

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 You may be hesitant about taking chances, but this day’s planetary set up it would be foolish not to explore the opportunities coming your way. Some situations may have hidden flaws and the indications are that it could be unrealistic to think everything will work out as expected. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 There is a strong possibility that many of you will be signing financial contracts today which will help to secure your future. For others this is an excellent time for making adjustments to financial plans you may have made with insufficient information. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 The change in the stars herald a new mood. This phase affects everyone even the most stubborn and you may find that they will become more supportive and receptive to your ideas.Try not to dwell on your vivid imagination, get involved with the gritty necessities of dealing with home life on a day to day basis. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 It would be easy to misinterpret today’s opportunities as the product of someone’s overactive imagination. However not only should you take what they are offering seriously but it could also lead to breakthroughs in personal and domestic matters . GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 Frankly speaking, at the best of times you can always do what you want and today’s planetary setup indicates that if you could become embroiled in a rather unpleasant power struggle and that simply isn’t the way you like to live or work. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 You could be in for a frustrating week or so when you will need to work twice as hard in order to gain the same ground. The last thing you need to do is be disheartened because if you keep your shoulder to the wheel you will eventually win through. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 For the couple of weeks there is going to be a good deal of news in connection of your friends and contacts. In some instances there may be new faces that you are strongly drawn to, not for romantic reasons, but simply because you have a great deal in common. VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 T In most situations you can afford to be generous but in money affairs you have set realistic limits and expect them to be observed. It would seem however that a certain individual has not been taking this seriously which is an attitude that could easily breed distrust if not some awkward clashes. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 As a Libran you are happy when balancing the new with the familiar and you like to take time to explore any offers before moving on to the next stage. Planetary climate however may mean that you will have to abandon reason and base decisions on intuition alone. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 You have been feeling tense over issues involving a combination of property family and money matters for quite a while. The aspects today may dash hopes of this being resolved quietly but you can be sure that they will be thrashed out thoroughly. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 There are times when whatever you say or do someone seems determined to raise objections. Therefore, search your conscience, review your plans and priorities and make your decisions according to them. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 If you have any important decisions to make or perhaps you want to approach superiors or older people then you have just the day for doing so. When it comes to your emotional life, things could turn for the better. To receive NATIONmobile horoscopes on your mobile, SMS the Star you want, eg LEO to 6667 at 5/- above normal rates.

[email protected] National Secondary Schools basketball champions Laiser Hill Academy and last year’s runners up Upper Hill School will be the main attractions as the Metropolitan Games begin at Upper Hill School Nairobi this morning. Also expected to renew their rivalry are Nairobi champions Buru Buru High who shockingly lost to Parklands Arya in the Nairobi finals and will be seeking revenge. Metropolitan region consists of Nairobi, Machakos, Makueni and Kajiado counties. Metropolitan Region secondary School Sports Association chairman Peter Orero yesterday said all was set for the kick off of the games this morning with the participating teams expected in camp yesterday evening for the four day event that concludes on Saturday. The battle between Laiser Hill and Upper Hill will bring together the two coaches who battled it out for the National classic basketball league finals last year but with the women teams. Kenya Under-16 star guard At the Nairobi County games recently Kenya Under-18 star guard Jemima Night produced an excellent performance to help her school Parklands Arya beat Buru Buru Girls 48-33 and end their long reign as champs of the city. Night, who was a key member of the Kenya junior team that participated in the Afrobasketball championships in Dakar Senegal last September, combined well with lanky Mercy Odima, also a member of the national junior team, to give Buru Buru difficult moments in the decisive final game played at Upper Hill School grounds. After leading 17-08 in the first quarter, Parklands allowed Buru Buru to take the second quarter for a 28-20 Parklands half time lead. Buru Buru won the third quarter 13-07 but coach Godfrey Mwalome changed tack to dominate the fourth quarter which Parklands won 13-0 to carry the day. Odima scored game high 13 points while Jemima had eight points for Parklands while Buru Buru had Brenda Nawiri score 11 points, Natasha GItau seven points and Irene Achieng seven.

GROUPS IN A GLANCE

Battling Argentina suffer scare in Bolivia, rivals stumble
Buenos Aires Argentina suffered a scare before coming from behind to secure a 1-1 draw with Bolivia as 2014 World Cup qualifying rivals Colombia slipped up against Venezuela on Tuesday. Argentina had been thrashed 6-1 by Bolivia when the sides last met in the thin air of La Paz in qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup. Another upset looked on the cards on Tuesday when Bolivia striker Marcel Martins headed the home side into a 25th-minute lead. But Argentina — who had impressed in a 3-0 win over Venezuela in Buenos Aires last Friday — grabbed a share of the points when Valencia’s Ever Banega headed in the equaliser shortly before half-time. Argentina might even have taken all three points, but captain Lionel Messi squandered a golden chance when one-on-one with Bolivia keeper Sergio Galarza six minutes from time. Despite the failure to take maximum points, Argentina remain in control of the South American qualifying standings after Colombia, who had started the day in second place, crashed 1-0 to Venezuela in Caracas. In Quito, Ecuador’s 4-1 victory over bottom team Paraguay lifted them over Colombia into second, four points behind Argentina. The day’s other match saw 2010 World Cup semi-finalists Uruguay suffer another setback after a 2-0 defeat to Chile in Santiago. The loss leaves Uruguay two points adrift of the qualifying places in South America. The first four teams qualify automatically for Brazil, while the fifth placed team goes into a play-off with their Asian counterpart. Earlier, Argentina had been slow to adapt to the rarefied air of the Bolivian capital, the world’s highest capital city standing some 3,650 meters (11,975 feet) above sea level. (AFP)

African struggle to reach Brazil World Cup continues
This ia a group-by-group analysis of the 2014 World Cup qualifying competition in Africa after the mini-league second round reached the halfway mark this week. Group A: South Africa were expected to dominate one of the weakest four-team sections, but a team with an unimpressive away record are two points behind Ethiopia and must visit Addis Ababa during June. Ethiopia are on the rise, competing in the Cup of Nations two months ago after a 31year absence, with Salahdin Said a proven scorer and Shemeles Bekele a dazzling dribbler. Group B: Tunisia are looking good for a final-phase slot with victories over Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde Islands and Sierra Leone giving them a five-point advantage. It is difficult to imagine the experienced Carthage Eagles slipping under new coach Nabil Maaloul as they seek to atone for a disappointing first round exit from the recent Cup of Nations. Group C: Tanzania have emerged as unexpected main challengers to hot favourites Ivory Coast, who are desperate to make Brazil having failed this year for the fifth consecutive Cup of Nations to justify favouritism. Ivory Coast are one point ahead of Tanzania, whose shock home win over four time qualifiers Morocco catapulted them into contention, and the Elephants must visit Dar es Salaam during June. Group D: Zambia surrendered the advantage gained from a ‘boardroom’ victory over Sudan when they conceded a late goal with 10 men to drop two points in an away draw with minnows Lesotho. This result opens the door for 2006 and 2010 qualifiers Ghana, whose loss in Zambia will be irrelevant if they can win away to Sudan and Lesotho and at home to the Chipolopolo (Copper Bullets). Group E: Congo Brazzaville are well placed with maximum points from three outings and a potentially crucial home fixture to come against surprise 2013 Cup of Nations runners-up Burkina Faso. Gabon and Niger appear out of contention, leaving Burkina Faso to try and overcome a six-point deficit after a terrible start in which they forfeited the point from a home draw with the Congolese and lost to the Gabonese. Group F: It is proving tougher than expected for new African champions Nigeria with Malawi and Kenya holding the Super Eagles and Namibia defending bravely before conceding a match-winning late goal. Success-starved Kenya were denied victory in Calabar by a stoppage-time goal but new Algeria-born coach Adel Amrouche must be encouraged ahead of the return match in Nairobi during June. Group G: Egypt may have been African champions a record seven times but American coach Bob Bradley knows what really matters is the World Cup with the Pharaohs’ last appearance 23 years ago. After a routine victory over Mozambique, they exceeded expectations with a win in Guinea and a late victory against Zimbabwe leaves them five points clear and favoured to head the final standings. Group H: Algeria shrugged off a disastrous 2013 Cup of Nations, in which they took one point from a possible nine after being touted as possible champions, by beating Benin to lead Mali on goal difference. Although Benin cannot be dismissed, the struggle for supremacy is likely to come down to the Desert Foxes and the Eagles with the outcome of their September showdown in Algeria probably crucial. Grioup I: Fallen giants Cameroon are one point ahead of Libya and two above Democratic Republic of Congo in a tight contest that could go down to the wire between the Indomitable Lions and the Mediterranean Knights. Libya have two home fixtures to come compared with the one of Cameroon and the north Africans received a boost with African body CAF clearing them to play before their supporters after a long security-related ban. Group J: Another intriguing mini-league with one-point gaps separating Senegal, Liberia, Angola and Uganda and the situation could become even tighter after the next round. A Senegal side coached by former France star Alain Giresse look strongest on paper with a Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse strike force, but 2006 qualifiers Angola could emerge surprise winners.

2014 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS | World champions floor France away to revive their dream

Del Bosque lauds spirited Spain
My players showed great maturity in every respect after very difficult days, says overjoyed coach
Paris

S

pain coach Vicente Del Bosque praised his team for their maturity after the world champions overcame nagging doubts in the wake of recent results to beat France 1-0 at the Stade de France. Pedro Rodriguez scored the only goal of the World Cup qualifier just before the hour mark in the French capital as Spain leapfrogged Les Bleus back to the top of Group I. With three rounds of games remaining, Spain are now a point ahead of France again, just four days after conceding top spot when their 1-1 home draw with Finland was combined with France beating Georgia. Veteran coach Del Bosque was delighted with the performance, and also warned France that they may just have lost the chance to progress automatically to the finals. “The important thing for us was to win the three points but the display of maturity by the players was also outstanding,” he said. Difficult days “The last few days have been quite difficult for us and the prospect of falling five points behind France was very bad for the Spanish national team, so the players showed great maturity in every respect. “We could have won by a greater margin but instead we had to suffer and keep working until the very end,” he added when asked if Spain should have won

more comfortably after enjoying more than 75 percent of the possession. With only games against the group’s lesser lights, Finland, Georgia and Belarus, remaining, Spain are in a fine position to go on and finish top of the table, and Del Bosque admitted that Tuesday’s result could prove decisive come the end of the campaign. “There are still three games to go in which we and France can both still slip up,” he acknowledged. “There is still time for anything to happen, but it is clear that France were in a very advantageous position at the start of the day.” Del Bosque

was also pleased to see his team keep faith with their style despite the criticism which they have received in recent days since struggling against Finland. Against a much more attack-minded France team, this was a very different game. The hosts may have seen little of the ball, but they had chances, with Franck Ribery squandering their clearest opening when denied by Spain ‘keeper Victor Valdes late in the first half with the scores still level. “Spain dominated possession but that is not a surprise,” said the France coach. (AFP)

Hodgson keeps faith after England fizzle out in Montenegro
London England manager Roy Hodgson said his side’s hopes of reaching the World Cup were “still in our hands” despite the setback of their 1-1 draw with Montenegro. England were on course to go top in Group H after Wayne Rooney gave them an early lead in Podgorica on Tuesday, but the visitors wilted in the second half and Montenegro stormed back to equalise with 14 minutes to play. It leaves Hodgson’s side two points off the pace in the group, and they could be five points behind Montenegro by the time they resume their qualifying campaign in September if Branko Brnovic’s side beat Ukraine in June. With only the side finishing in first place guaranteed to qualify for the World Cup, England face a fight to overhaul the Montenegrins, but Hodgson believes the fixture list will play in his side’s favour. England play three of their final four games at Wembley Stadium, with a trip to Ukraine on September 10 the only time they will have to leave their base before the end of the qualifying campaign. “We’ve got to play Montenegro at home, so it’s in our hands,” Hodgson said. Bossed proceedings “We drew (1-1) at home to Ukraine (last September), which we didn’t want. But we’ve got three of our last four games at home. “We think it’s still in our hands and we intend to make sure we keep it in our hands by winning those matches.” Hodgson was at a loss to explain why England, having bossed proceedings in the first half, allowed themselves to be pegged back after the interval as the noise inside the Podgorica City Stadium rose and rose. “I don’t think we were particularly nervous,” he said. “We didn’t play as well as we could have in the second half, whether that was down to the fact we started playing less well or Montenegro started playing much better - that’s a debating point.

Tough draw for this year’s KPL Top 8
BY ISAAC SWILA
[email protected] The stage is set for a bruising football battle as eight Premier league teams train their eyes on the Top 8 trophy and the Sh1 million prize money after the draws were held yesterday. Holders Gor Mahia begin their title defence against Ulinzi Stars, a team they beat 2-0 in the tournaments’ finals last year. In 2011, it was the soldiers who lifted the maiden title after overcoming Western Stima 2-1 in a nail biting finals that were staged at the Nyayo national stadium. AFC Leopards on their part will face Chemelil Sugar in the knock out phase as Sofapaka aims their artillery on Thika United .League champions Tusker FC will battle it out with Mathare United, a former giant that has of late been on the decline All matches will be played at Nyayo national stadium, but there will be no extra time in the semis which will be played on a home and away basis. The w inner between Leopards and Chemeli will square off with the winner between Sofapaka and Thika United in the first semis while on the other hand the winner between Tusker and Mathare will also battle it out with the winner between Gor and Ulinzi in the second semifinal match. Eventual winners in the semis will then book a date for the finals. In total nine matches will be played in the tournament. The tournament which is reserve for teams which finish in the top 8 bracket in the league campaign is now in its third edition having first been contested in 2011 . Ulinzi Stars which were crowned champions in the debut season, will have every season to knock K’ogalo out of the tournament after what they felt was a robbed victory last season. Ulinzi contested Rama Salim’ first goal that they argued did not cros the s line while a second goal scored by Itubu Imbem was equally contentious with Ulinzi’s camp arguing that it was scored from an offside position. Ulinzi coach Salim Ali said that he is predicting tough match from their opponents but said his charges are ready to face the Green Army. “I believe it will be a tough match, it is a knockout tournament and we will have to devise strategies to contain pressure and overcome them’’ Gor’s deputy captain Moses ‘Dube’ Odhiambo on his part said that they are ready to ‘deal’ with the soldiers and the talking will be done on the pitch. Leopards also have a date with destiny as they are drawn against Chemelil Sugar. The sugar milers have been Ingwe’s bogey team .In the final l league match last season, the Mike Muiruri coached men handed Ingwe a heartbreak beating them 1-0 to dim the slim hopes they had on lifting the league title In this season’s opener played last month Chemeli l again gave Leopards a torrid time at Moi Kasarani, forcing Ingwe to a hard fought 1-1 draw.

Soldiers bounce back after a string of poor performances to claim three midweek points

[email protected] linzi Stars beat Gor Mahia 20 in a Tusker Premier League match at the City stadium yesterday. The soldiers, keen to stamp their authority in the league, played with much purpose and did not give Gor breathing space as they pressed on in a tie that was marred by hard tackles. Navy corporal Evans Amuoka was the toast of the day for the soldiers putting K’ogalo to the sword with two brilliantly taken goals in either half. The red hot Amuoka struck in the 22nd minute, beating Gor custodian Jerim Onyango with a sublime finish after connecting a through ball from Stephen Ocholla. The centre forwarded then completed the job in the second half with just 13 minutes left on the clock when he rose high to nod into Gor’s net top silence the K’ogalo fans whom had turned up in large numbers in anticipation of victory that never was. Gors’ coach Zdravko Logarusic began his defense with usual suspects deploying Solomon Nasio and Christopher Wekesa in the full backs while the giant Ugandan centre back Israel Emuge partnered the towering Donald Mosoti in central defense but they could not withstand the endless missiles hurled from the soldiers end. Ivan Anguyo was pushed to midfield to do the ‘dirty’ work together with

U

Joseph Njuguna and Anthony ‘Teddy’ Akumu, but they could not hold the centre amicably. Gor found the going tough and could not match the well drilled soldiers who made rings around them in the early exchanges and chased after every ball. Logarusic sprung changes bringing in Kevin ‘Ade’ Omondi for the injured Rama Salim whom had been the target of tough tackles from Ulinzi’s Eric Apul. After the break, Ulinzi who had locked out the midfield upped the antenna forcing the temperamental K’ogalo tactician to bring in David Owino for Nasio and Yusuf Juma for Anguyo but his tactics failed to yield the desired results. Gor’s clear cut chance in the game presented itself in the first half when Dan Sserunkuma found out Emuge with a neat chip from the edge of the box on the right wing only for Emuge’s header to go inches off the target. Redeemed themselves The Croat laid the blame squarely at his players for the loss. “My players should know that they are beatable and the earlier they learn this he better,” he said. In an earlier match played at the same venue 2009 champions Sofapaka had to rally from behind to salvage a point after settling for a 1-1 draw with Mathare United Mathare drew the first blood at the hour mark when David Mwangi shook the net beating Sofapaka’s veteran shot stopper Duncan Ochieng. The Batoto Ba Mungu however got redemption from substitute Bob Mugalia who calmly slotted home in the 77th minute. Thee ‘slum ‘ boys are yet to pick a win since the season began having fought to three draws and one loss.

England captain Gerrard impressed by ice-cool striker Rooney
London England captain Steven Gerrard insists Wayne Rooney’s ability to keep his fiery temper under control is crucial to his side’s bid to qualify for the World Cup. Rooney scored for the fourth successive qualifier, the first England player to achieve that feat since David Beckham 10 years ago, as Roy Hodgson’s team held on for a 1-1 draw against Montenegro on Tuesday. The Manchester United forward’s first-half header wasn’t enough to secure what would have been a valuable victory over the group leaders as Montenegro hit back to equalise through Dejan Damjanovic in the second half. But Gerrard felt Rooney, who had been sent off on his last appearance in Montenegro 17 months ago, was instrumental in England’s best moments because he was able to cope well with the hostile atmosphere in Podgorica. And, with England’s bid to reach the 2014 World Cup in Brazil still in the balance, the Liverpool midfielder hopes Rooney can continue to play with such maturity. “Wayne is a fantastic player and a great goalscorer. If the lads in the team can create the service for Wayne, we know he will score goals,” Gerrard said, “He also deserves credit for that goalscoring record. Hopefully he will get more goals and fire us to the World Cup. “I also thought his behaviour was magnificent. He had been on the agenda in the press all week with people wondering how he was going to behave. “I thought he handled himself magnificently and got us that important goal.” (AFP)

SHOW ME THE MONEY | PM Raila rewards players with cash tokens at a luncheon in Nairobi

Stars to get Sh250m war chest
Minister Namwamba pledges full government support to the team
BY DAVID KWALIMWA
[email protected] he Government will allocate Sh250 million towards the national soccer team’s activities this year. This was revealed by Sports Minister Ababu Namwamba yesterday, during a luncheon hosted for the team by Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the team sponsors, Tusker, at Safari Park. Also present at the function were Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Sports Commissioner Gordon Oluoch, FKF Chairman Sam Nyamweya, his assistant Robert Asembo plus other federation officials and Gor Mahia Chairman Ambrose Rachier. “The Government and all Kenyans are very proud of Harambee Stars. Please don’t doubt our commitment and support to ensure that you succeed. I have put a request of Sh250 million to the treasury this year to ensure that this team prepares adequately for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers,” said the minister. Earlier, Nyamweya had sent a passionate plea to the Government and corporate world to support Harambee Stars. “This is a very young team with a bright future. A majority of the players are aged under 23. We are once again requesting for the Government to back us so that we prepare adequately for the remaining World Cup qualifiers.” Kenya has three matches pending in its quest to qualify for Brazil 2014, against Nigeria and Namibia at home and Malawi away. Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who rewarded each player with Sh10,000 following their Calabar heroics, added that it was his wish to watch a Kenyan team play at the World Cup. “I was on the stands when David Rudisha broke the 800m record during last year’s London Olympic Games. That was the most patriotic moment in my life. My great grandfather and uncle turned out for the national team. I long for the day when I will watch the national soccer team square it out against Mexico or Argentina at the World Cup,” added the Prime Minister. At the function, Nyamweya recounted the mistreatment that the team underwent in Nigeria, adding that his team has picked valuable lessons. “We have appealed to Fifa against the treatment. The referee had a mission. Why was Origi yellow carded? Why did he (referee) add five minutes in injury time? We will not be downed by this behaviour, Actually, we are getting stronger because (Parma midfielder Macdonald) Mariga has called to assure me that he will be available for the return match against Nigeria in June,” concluded the long-serving football administrator. Earlier, the team was driven to the venue in an open bus caravan as the public and curious onlookers cheered on in appreciation at their foobtall heroes.

Bamburi bolster Series with Sh13.5m
BY VICTOR SIELE
[email protected] Bamburi Rugby Super Series yesterday received a boost of Sh13.5 million courtesy of title sponsor, Bamburi Cement. The eight-team tournament will kick off on May 4, 2013. Kenya will provide six teams and Uganda two. Receiving the cheque from Bamburi Cement Managing Director, Hussein Mansi, the Kenya Rugby Union chair, Mwangi Muthee, said the main goal of this year’s tournament is to create a strong national 15s side for the 2015 Rugby World Cup qualifiers. “The tournament will be the best ground to build the team that will fight for a spot at the World Cup. The coaches have been selected and each one of them has been assigned a franchise,” The final will he held on June 1 at the Moi International Sport Centre, Kasarani. This year’s tournament has seen the reconstituting and renaming of the franchises, with all six Kenyan sides adopting Swahili names as follows: Nyumbu (Impala, Quins, Nondies), Papa (Mwamba, KCB, Homeboyz), Ndovu (Nakuru, Egerton, Moi, Kitale, Eldoret), Kengewa (Universities), Kiboko (Kisumu, Kakamega), Mamba (Coast). The Ugandan franchises are Rwenzori and Victoria. Women’s teams will play curtain-raising matches. Last year’s runners-up, Rwenzori will battle for a semifinal spot with Kenya’s Ndovu, Kengewa and Mamba. The first match will be staged in Kampala on the first day of the tournament. “The Rugby Super Series is an important tournament as it is the platform used to select the national team and we therefore look forward to the highest standards of the tournament management by KRU as evident during the previous Bamburi Super Series,” Bamburi Cement Managing Director, Hussein Mansi, said. In South Africa, 43 Springbok captains, past and present, met yesterday in a historic gathering that brought together legends of the game across race and gender. From 1995 World Cup skipper Francois Pienaar to current women’s captain Mandisa Williams, the players marked the countdown to the launch of a new Springbok museum in September. The museum will trace the game from the 1860s in the rugby-obsessed nation where the sport was separated during apartheid along race lines and only united in 1992. “I think it’s a wonderful start to tell the SA rugby story,” said Pienaar.

ROW | Legislators plan to amend the law to provide for separate commissions to tackle salaries

MPs plot to kick out salaries team
Lawmakers claim the commissioners acted illegally in decision to reduce their pay
BY ALPHONCE SHIUNDU
[email protected] plot to cripple the salaries commission and kick out the officials over their stand on the MPs’ pay is under way. More than 30 MPs who spoke to journalists on the sidelines of a Jubilee Coalition meeting said the push to cut the MPs’ pay was “unconstitutional”. The Constitution gives the Salaries and Remuneration Commission the power to set the pay of State officers and advise on the remuneration of all public officials. But the MPs-elect said the manner in which the commission executed the pay cut for the lawmakers was wrong. The legislators said Parliament would kick out the commission chairperson Sarah Serem like they did to former Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission boss Patrick Lumumba for his zeal in asking them to stick to the “straight and narrow”. They said Ms Serem had no basis for reducing the pay of MPs from Sh851,000 to Sh532,500. The legislators first plan to quash THE NUMBERS

The lawmakers are planning to amend the law to provide for separate commissions to tackle salaries of State officials. They said Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution chairman, Mr Charles Nyachae, whose pay, they argued was more than Sh1 million, had no role in deciding MPs’ pay, yet he reported to a parliamentary committee. Mr Angwenyi noted that Ms Serem failed to show why MPs should earn less than what their counterparts in the Tenth Parliament earned.

The second step is to amend the Constitution to disband the SRC and give that mandate to other commissions. The third step will be to kick out Ms Serem and the commissioners, that is if the constitutional amendment fails.

Fear of backlash

Apart from Mr Jimmy Angwenyi, the MP-elect for Kitutu Chache North, none of the other MPs agreed to speak on record for fear of a backlash. Although the Jubilee Coalition leadership, through President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, have said that they would push the wage bill down and pump more money into development projects, their troops appear to be pulling the rag from under their feet. The legislators said it “seemed like Ms Serem set out to punish people

Buying house? 10 blunders to avoid
Watch your back: In a world where property vendors would do anything to milk you dry, caution is never a bad thing. Industry players advise that, while going it alone in the house-buying process may save time, it may not necessarily save you money, or the headaches. To ensure that you get the right deal, consult widely, scour the market, and, most importantly, use your wits. Below, 10 mistakes to avoid when buying a house
BY BERNARD MWINZI
[email protected] Going it alone: Buying a house is probably the most intricate and time-consuming thing you will ever do. While, for instance, buying a car only requires a sale agreement and a couple of handshakes between you and the seller before the log book is transferred to you, a house requires a lot more than just that cushy mutual consent. Statutory requirements demand that you seek professional help, especially when it comes to drafting the sale agreement, doing the land title searches, conducting a valuation study, and filling land transfer forms. Unless you have some magical ability to read between the lines, you cannot afford to go it alone in this case. The easiest and most convenient way to go about it is to identify a law firm to guide you through the process. Lawyers who deal with conveyancing are particularly good at this and may save you a pretty penny in the end. If you are buying the property through a mortgage scheme, the financiers are likely to link you with reputable valuers. While some buyers choose independent valuers who are not accredited to lending institutions, for mortgage purposes, reports by such individuals are not encouraged and may not be accepted by some banks. Operating on the basis of faith: They say faith is taking the first step even when you do not see the whole staircase. However, when it comes to real estate deals, you cannot afford to close your eyes and assume that all will be well. You must not just see that staircase, you must also climb it. Isaiah Opiyo, a personal financial consultant, once told the Business Daily that, as Kenya’s real estate sector basks in the glory of an unprecedented boom, many people “are being conned daily in the name of buying property or land through bogus land buying companies” . So, before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you are clear on whether the land has any encumbrances such as caveats and family wars, and verify whether it has proper documentation. The bit on family wars is important. While many only seek to confirm whether the title deed is valid, spousal consent in the discharge of a property must be confirmed, especially with the new land laws that, among other things, insist that a spouse is deemed to be a co-owner of a property even when not on the title. That means that, where land is held in the name of one spouse “but the other spouse has contributed to the productivity, upkeep, or improvement of the land” , the contributing spouse is deemed to have acquired an ownership interest in the land. One cannot, therefore, sell, transfer, lease, or charge the land without their spouse’s consent. So, who are you dealing with? Are they married? If so, have you, in the process of negotiating your deal, also met their spouse? Other than spousal consent, you also must ensure that the property you are buying actually belongs to the vendor, or whether it is there in the first place. Stories abound of people who have been conned broke after failing to investigate. In October last year, five property agents conned at least 400 people into buying nonexistent houses in Shah Alam, Malaysia.

Percentage by which Nairobi’s property market grew in 2011, beating all global hotspots. If you want to buy a house, do it now. Time waits for no one. While the crime may have occurred many kilometres away, it offers lessons on the tricky business that is real estate. Some of the victims were eventually declared bankrupt by the banks for not settling any of their payments. Reports indicated that they had paid about 10 per cent deposit to the property agents and signed the agreement without the presence of lawyers (see Going It Alone, above). Even in Kenya today, buyers are being pushed to pay at least 10 per cent of the value of the property beforehand, sometimes without even seeing the property itself. It gets even more tricky when buying off-plan.

Waiting for the price to come down: Have you identified a property that you think suits your needs? Has someone told you it is a bit overpriced? Do you believe it is? They may be right. But unless the property is ridiculously priced, go ahead and buy it.

ists. And, unless there is a major bubble burst on the horizon, the price of that house you want to buy will have appreciated by a couple of thousands of shillings in the next few months. To understand how heady things look, all you need to do is study the Knight Frank 2011 Prime International Residential Index, which monitors price changes across the world’s best property markets (Nairobi is one of them), and which reports that Kenya’s high-end market is ahead of all other

countries in the world in terms of growth and expected profit margins. Now, if you are interested in a low-end property, you might argue that this report does not cover your area of focus, but history has proven that a rise in high-end property prices results in a corresponding rise across all other levels as investors buy down. The Knight Frank report indicates that the value of Nairobi’s prime real estate grew by 25 per cent in 2011, and along the Kenyan coast by 20 per cent. That is higher than

other major cities in the world, including Miami, which had a growth of 19.1 per cent; and London (12.1 per cent). Whatever you do, buy now! Thinking with your heart rather than head: The sink may be a killer, the bedrooms fabulous, but you are not just buying a sink or a bedroom. Look at the bigger picture. Evaluate every aspect of the house, bit by bit. Where is the house located? What is the pricing of other houses in the vicinity? Are there enough social amenities around? How about security? In a nutshell, think beyond what you see to what you do not see. A house, especially if bought for residency rather than business purposes, should present the prospect of a home immediately. It should not be just an imposing edifice of brick and mortar, but a homely address that offers peace, tranquillity, value for money and, above all, that warm, cosy feeling that every home owner cherishes. Forgetting the hidden costs: The booming property market is creating a lot of interest, especially among the young middle class, in homeownership. However, many are shocked to learn midstream down the buying process that there are a myriad costs hidden beneath the welcoming façade of their dream homes. There are inspection and appraisal fees to pay, stamp duty to go the government, insurance costs if going the mortgage way, higher utility bills if you move to the “wrong” neighbourhood, valuation fees, legal fees… the works. So, while many may be able to pay the 10 per cent of the sale value up-front, the hidden costs, which run into hundreds of thousands of shillings for a modest home, become a deterrent in the long run. Before you commit yourself through a sale agreement, make sure you have done the math right. Lawyers demand a 10 per cent cut on the deposit should you wish to withdraw from the deal, not to mention any other losses you may encounter in the process. Biting off more than you can chew: A wise man once said that the down side of being outrageous is that you have to go around explaining yourself to people. If you are too cocky, somebody

might just pull out a gun, cock it, and blow your face off. In the property business, you cannot be “too cautious for nothing” . Do not bite off more than you can chew to please your friends. Operate within your means, so if you cannot afford the house in Utawala, move further down to Ruai. You are setting yourself up for a lot of heartache and sleepless nights and auctioneer visits if you mortgage a house you can hardly afford. Employers insist that at least a third of your salary must remain intact after all statutory and loan deductions have been made, but sneaky, over-ambitious folks have a way of circumventing such restrictions. Also, think about any future inhibitions that may come your way, and whether, in the event that you lose your source of income, you will be able to sustain the loan repayments for at least a year as you seek other revenue streams. Falling for anything: While there is always a lot on offer in the market, you will soon discover that few of these units meet your tastes and preferences. The general rule is that you have to scout the market for at least a month before you settle on a particular house. Many have reported that their preferences had changed so much from the time they started searching for a house to the time they settled on one. You probably want to buy a flat in Mlolongo, but you may discover that, five kilometres away, an old but well-maintained bungalow sitting on half-an acre is going for almost the same price. While scouting the area, look for the tell-tale signs of a troubled neighbourhood; graffiti on the walls, abandoned jalopies on the streets, broken gates, crumbling homes… the like. That tells you the kind of neighbours you will have. Also, once you identify a particular house of interest, visit it during different times of the day. It may be all peaceful and quiet during the day, but wait until the 14 teenagers next-door come home from college and turn up the decibels. Taking too long to commit: It has become standard for vendors to draft offer letters to prospective buyers, and also commonplace for those prospective buyers to take forever to commit — legally and by paying a deposit — to the deal.

If you have the money and are sure the deal is clean, commit at the appropriate time, usually within two weeks of receiving the offer letter and by paying the requisite deposit witnessed by a lawyer. After that, ask the vendor to take the property off the market to avoid gazumping, where the seller agrees to a higher offer despite a sale agreement being already in place. Many have discovered rather too late that, until papers and contracts and agreements and deeds have been exchanged, the deal is not yet sealed. Forgetting to inspect the house: If you are not careful, you may end up buying a tired house stripped bare of all fittings. Check whether the plumbing works, the ceiling needs replacement, the walls cry for a new coat of paint, or the roof is as leaky as a smuggler’s boat. Are the taps working? How about the door knobs… and the doors themselves? The truth of the matter is that in the process of signing million-shilling sale agreements for houses that look superb in photos, many forget to carry out specific, thorough inspections of the houses they are buying. Eventually, they discover too late that they will have to spend another fortune to make the house habitable. Where possible, insist on a written list from the vendor of all the fittings that may require repair or outright replacement before signing the sale agreement. Then seek advice on how much it would cost you to carry out the repairs and who would meet the cost. Quoting too high: They are selling the house for Sh7 million, but you know they can go lower than that. So, how low can you wring them? Offering Sh4 million may attract jeers, while Sh6.9 will attract cheers. If you do not know how much to offer, consider seeking advice from professionals in the field. Also, check how much similar properties in the area are fetching and use that as a guide. A time-tested way of going about it is to use the valuation report, which forms the basis of all mortgage calculations. You may, however, find that the house is valued much lower or higher, in which case you will have to scout the neighbourhood, knock on doors, and peruse documents to know what is right and what is an absolute rip-off.

Classic minimalism at its best
Heri Heights do not just offer the convenience of being close to the city and the comfort of a modern home, but also great lessons on how you can turn a drab room into an decorator’s dream
BY TRICIA WANJALA
ucked away close to a lush forested park near State House, this plush suburban complex was recently converted into luxury serviced apartments. The management contracted a local architectural and interior design firm, Shamla Fernandes Architects, to update it into a modern facility without losing its timeless character and ambiance. The final product is a stunning combination of modern business-like surroundings with a relaxed homely appeal. Shamla, of Shamla Fernandes Architects, explains how her firm tackled this brief; “Although quite old, the facility was well built and in a very quiet sub-urban location close to the CBD. It already had a beautiful mature garden and peaceful surroundings. I thought to keep all the positive aspects and change the negative ones.” It took about 15 months to complete the renovations. They chose to restore the original exterior without changing its classic look. Then they transformed the interiors from dark rooms with heavy furniture and draperies to a trendy, updated appearance. “To give the apartments a facelift, I changed the flooring to a more modern, light-coloured HDF laminate. You will notice that all the walls in the apartments are white. This was done purposely to brighten them up so they would appear larger. The white also gave

Enduring beauty of the ceramic vase
They have been in use since ancient times and will add a timeless elegance to your home if placed correctly
BY IMMACULATE WAIRIMU
eramic vases have become a vital part of decorative themes in homes, commercial centres, and offices. For an elegant interior, there are many options available in the market. Individual styles vary and nowadays designs can be customised to the liking and preferences of the buyer. They could gracefully be designed to match curtains, some floral decorations around, or some stylish cushions. When deciding on the perfect spot to place a vase, go for an empty corner that needs a little styling. You can also try a medium or large vase on a tall pedestal table. For larger spaces, a grouping of vases can be both simple and dramatic. Ceramic flowerpots look charming when placed at specific corners or at the centre of the room. Once you have arranged a few pieces, stand back and admire your handiwork. Try adding or subtracting to see which work better for your space.

When deciding on the perfect spot to place a vase, go for an empty corner that needs a little styling.

Use the background of your home when choosing vases. If the wall paint shade is dark, then a white coloured ceramic vase with a light shimmering design would be ideal. Similarly, a contrasting coloured vase should be chosen if the wall paint is of a lighter shade. If a room has a lot of empty space, a big ceramic vase can be placed at the centre of the room or on a round table. For a smaller space, a small designed ceramic vase would look chic and stylish. The design on the vase may also match with the type of fabric on which it is placed. Ceramic flowerpots are eyecatching. There are wide varieties available in interior décor stores, flower and plant nurseries, as well as pottery shops. These ceramics can also be an excellent theme for the garden. The large pots in sunny or shaded hues look attractive when placed at corners or at the entry of the garden. If one wishes to place ceramic pots in the garden, then the quality of the pots would certainly matter because these pots need to be highly durable and weather-resistant. Ancient Japanese ceramic vases are elegant and exquisite decorative pieces and highly popular. They came into being after the fabulous contributions of the legendary Japanese traditional

artists. Ancient Japanese pottery, commonly known as “Sueki” , is still common for interior decorations. The use of Sueki in early times (just as in traditional Africa) was to preserve commodities or as gifts during festivals and ceremonies. Bizen, the oldest Japanese wares that are hard, reddish brown in colour, and without glaze. Tamba, also known as “Tanba” , light in weight and more refined compared to Bizen, was also used, or replicas of these designs are available locally. Glazed ceramic vases and large urns are also an excellent way to add colour and interest to your garden’s landscape. They add a punch of colour to what would have otherwise been dull corner. Big vases create an instant focal point. Collect them as you would works of art and display them proudly as you experiment with colour, size, shape, and materials. Large vessels can be practical too and can be used to hold umbrella’s when placed next to your main door. One of the attractions of big vases is that they can be filled with more large decorative items. Tall reeds, dried flowers, peacock feathers, willow branches, and fluffy prairie leaves. You are also free to do away with the floral details and let the vases shine on their own.

Creating a garden filled with roses
Beautiful in their simplicity, roses have been used to signify everything from love to heartbreak, but their most enduring quality is their sweet and unforgettable fragrance

BY IMMACULATE WAIRIMU
[email protected] he rose is also known as, “the queen of flowers” and rose water provides one of the most valuable elements of fine perfume. Their fragrance was valued by ancient Romans and used to scent rooms and as perfume after bathing. Cleopatra supposedly filled a room over a foot deep with rose petals while wooing Mark Anthony. The two main roses used in this era were the damask and gallica types. Prior to the Victorian era of the late 1800s, fragrance in flowers was used for medicinal purposes or to hide odours. This period saw the use of flowers in gardens for their pleasing fragrance. Today, creating a rose flower garden is a lesson in patience that is ultimately rewarding. All roses are beautiful, but to create a fragrant garden, determine the type to use, as contrary to popular belief, not all roses have a distinct fragrance. Some roses lack any kind of fragrance, and the ones that are fragrant offer a wide variety of scents. Most of them start out with something of a rosy scent, but you might be surprised at the additional aromas that exist in the rose world. You also have to determine where you want them to grow, as some are compact and will fit into a narrow bed, while others are giant climbers and may grow into other plants and choke them. Rose perfumes, which were popular among the Romans and the Greeks, were extracted from the plants at night as the fragrance is strongest before sunrise. The two main species of roses used for perfume are the Rosa centifolia, found mostly in the South of France, and the Rosa damascene (damask

T

rose) located primarily in Arab countries. The damask rose is most widely grown for perfumery. The other seven main rose scents are nasturtium, orris (similar to violets), violets, apple, clove, and lemon. There are 26 other diverse but less common scents in roses that include honeysuckle, moss, hyacinth, honey, wine, marigold, peppers, parsley, and fruits such as raspberry. Generally, roses with the best scents have darker colours and thicker, and more abundant petals. Red and pink roses often smell like what is commonly known as the “rose scent”. White and yellows often smell of violets, nasturtium, and lemon, while orange roses often smell of fruits, violets, nasturtium, and clove. Many clove scent roses smell sweet and provide a refreshing feel that is somewhat spicy. Spices like clove and cinnamon offer an instantly homey scent and feel. Clove evaporates 36 times more slowly than citrus, so once you pick up a citrus scent it can disappear with the clove scent appearing later. A wonderful spicy scent and apricot yellow blooms is the Honey Perfume rose. Growing about three to four feet high and two to three feet wide, Honey Perfume makes a great specimen or low hedge. It also exhibits good rust and mildew resistance. Fragrant Cloud has a wonderful spicy aroma. It grows up to five feet tall, is right at home as a hedge or in the back of a border or bed. Other spicy bloomers include Scent from Above, America, Sweet Intoxication, Westerland, Strike it Rich, and Lilian Austin. The Julia Child rose has golden four-inch blooms and quaint liqourice scent. It is also remarkably heat-tolerant and diseaseresistant, a plus in any garden.

Rose perfumes which were popular with the Romans and the Greeks, were extracted from the plants at night as the fragrance is strongest before sunrise

More licorice-scented roses include Summer Nights, Tahitian Sunset, Monkey Business, and Butter Cream. Double Delight is a hybrid tea rose with a long season of bloom and a sweet, spicy scent. It has

rich, creamy white to pale pink centre with deep, ruby edging. It is bushy and grows to about four to five feet with a two to three foot spread. Double Delight shows good disease resistance, although less so in wet weather. If your style is influenced by antique elements, go for the Melody Parfumee, a gorgeous dark lavender rose growing up to five feet tall and four feet wide. It has ruffly flowers in clusters. More classic rose scent would be from Gertrude Jekyll, The Countryman, Falstaff, Harlow Carr, and William Shakespeare. Memorial Day is arguably the front-runner for fragrance and another of the popular hybrid teas. “Experts say one bloom perfumes almost an entire room.” It is 5 inch

with clear pink blossoms and a lavender glow about them. The fragrance may be described as similar to the old-fashioned damask roses. Cutting stems are nice and long and the bushes are an especially good choice for hot climates. Fruity rose scents range from apple to citrus. They seem very fresh and clean and mix well with other scented flowers. Midas Touch, a strong yellow hybrid tea rose with 3- to 4-inch blooms is a smaller rose, growing only 3 feet tall and wide, so it is perfect for the front or middle parts of your flowerbeds. Other fruity roses include Pink Promise, Olympiad, Enchanted Evening, and Wild Blue Yonder. Elle has a spicy, citrusy scent, is also a hybrid tea rose and displays above average disease resistance, especially to black spot and mildew. The blossoms are a soft, shell pink set off by glossy, dark green foliage. Moon Dance is a stunner by virtue of its colour and has a raspberry scent. White blooms with creamy centres appear, reaching heights up to 5 feet and widths up to 4 feet. More raspberry-scented roses include Alnwick and Madame Isaac Pereire. Light and sweet may sometimes be what you want as a scent. Classic, light and sweet, nothing overpowering or exotic. Geoff Hamilton is a great option with its baby-pink petals and classic rose form. It is disease-resistant and grows to 6 feet tall, so be sure to give it room in the back of your border. If you would rather have lightly scented roses, these are Hot Cocoa, Hot Tamale, Agatha Christie, and Angela Rippon.

Decorating for the Easter season
Using the colours and themes of Easter will ensure that your home is a welcoming and festive place for friends and family
BY IMMACULATE WAIRIMU
aster is a season of celebration and togetherness, an opportune moment for families to spend time together. A great way to enjoy the season is to get creative and make some Easter crafts and decorations together. When decorating for Easter, there are many varieties of designs and not just basic Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. Instead, you may choose to decorate your house with style in classic spring colours that add a modern flair. Consider the following Easter decorating ideas: Palm leaves are significant during Easter but you can also use materials such as wicker, bamboo, or teak. A potted palm will provide beauty and a tropical look in ceramic vases or pots. Framed palm leaves would work or textured lamps and ceiling high palm leaves, painted bamboo furniture and a lattice motif mirror, or a vibrant tropical wallpaper in the backdrop of a piece of artwork and leafy carpeting, lighting, and a centrepiece décor would work wonderfully as a Easter design. Tropical plant leaves in a vase, a woven pendant light, palm leaf ceiling fans, In addition to bunnies, consider decorating your interior with sculptured birds and bird nests. You can add decorative three-dimensional birds to flower arrangements for extra flair or display bird nests containing eggs or flowers as a symbol of Easter. Instead of just colouring your Easter eggs in a solid colour, consider something more artistic. You can make multi-coloured eggs by dipping different sides in different colours or using different felt tip pens. If you dye them a solid colour, consider dying them a unique shade, which will complement the colour scheme of your décor such as gold, turquoise, eggplant, burgundy, silver, or magenta. Consider using ostrich eggs for added drama. For more glitz, use glitter, tiny mirrors, metallic paint, or sequins for decorating. You can hang egg garlands over the front door and around the fireplace. Candles create a warm and cosy atmosphere, go for coloured, scented ones as well as egg-shaped candles to add to your table’s centrepiece. To add some Easter spirit to your decorating, consider placing elegantly wrapped chocolate Easter eggs in a tweed basket with a pink or bright coloured bow. Not only will the decoration be appealing, it can cater to your sweet tooth as well. You can also incorporate chocolate and pastel colours when laying the table for an Easter dinner or lunch. The dark brown chocolate colour grounds all of the pastel colours typically used to decorate for Easter, so it is a good compliment.

E

bamboo chairs, and a fruit bowl are also great options. One of the best ways to liven up your home is to fill it with flowers. Fresh flowers will only provide fragrance and beauty as well as create a festive atmosphere. You can arrange them in a vase and display them around your

house. Another cute idea would be to cut Easter flowers short and put them in egg cups. Fresh cut yellow and pink flowers would be perfect for Easter. Tulips, hyacinth, and daffodils are especially appropriate. Roses, lilies, and other fragrant flowers will also ignite the Easter mood.

Instead of just painting your Easter eggs in a solid colour, consider something more artistic. You can make multicoloured eggs by dipping different sides in different colours.

A micro-economy thrives inside Kenya’s slums
Walking in Mathare slum on the outskirts of Nairobi, one will encounter a vibrant business environment synonymous with the more wellestablished Central Business District. A footpath meanders through dozens of tin, mud, and wood structures leading you deeper into the slum. Despite its narrowness, the path is punctuated by several kiosks selling food, mobile scratch cards, water, household goods, and groceries. After a while, the path opens up to a bigger road regularly used by vehicles. The road cuts through the slum, connecting to Juja Road on the other end. It is this road that traders and suppliers use to ferry goods to shops. Parked along the road is a pick-up supplying soft drinks to a shop that acts as a depot in these shanty town. Again, you will notice dozens of shoplined up along this road. The businesses include food kiosks, household goods shops, mobile money outlets, secondhand bookstores, carpentry workshops, and groceries. With a population of about 150,000 residents, it is almost guaranteed that if one opens a shop in the area, business will be good. “There are hundreds of businesses here. You can’t count. You cannot walk five metres without finding some form of business. They are located in every corner of the slum,” says Vincent Kingori, a social worker and resident of Mathare. Walking along the paths of the informal settlement, one encounters women selling githeri, chips, doughnuts, porridge, vegetables, chapatis, ugali (corn meal), beef, and beans. There are dozens of video shops which screen, for a small fee, the English Premier League matches popular with residents. Groceries, butcheries, saloons, and mobile money shops also thrive in huge numbers.

The cooked food business is one of the most popular in the slum. “Many people do not cook in their houses. This has created massive business opportunities for people, especially women who cook and sell food to residents,” said Kingori. The traders have stationed their businesses along all paths used by residents to ensure that they reach a larger number of potential customers. Most poor urban families in Kenya, particularly those living in Nairobi’s slums, consume food prepared on the street to save costs. A 2011 research by African Population and

Health Research (APHRC) indicated that food insecurity makes members of most households in slums turn to street food, which is cheaper. Prices per plate range sfrom Sh10 for githeri and chips to Sh30 for beef. Most residents find the food pocket-friendly because one can buy any portion they want depending on the amount of money one has. “People prefer to buy githeri or chips of let’s say Sh20 and eat with their children. This helps them to save money because if they choose to cook, they will have to buy fuel, food, and cooking oil, which increases expenses,” noted

Kingori adding that hygiene is a major problem. Beatrice Gitau, who sells food in the slum, says she sells everything by the end of the day. “I cook two huge sufurias (cooking pots) of githeri each day. I sell from about 10am to 8.30pm. People buy the food in plenty. It is good business,” she says. Other traders running various businesses in the slum shared similar experiences. Shopkeeper Antony Museu says as long as one understands the customers, one will not go astray. “I know people in the area are low income earners. Thus, I sell all my stock in small quantities, starting from paraffin to sugar to milk and bread. This makes the goods accessible to many people,” said Museu, who sells sugar and paraffin worth Sh10. One may think that some businesses may not thrive in the slum due to poverty, but mention any trade and you will find it there. We spot a laundry shop, a gym, and a fresh fruit juice bar. These are businesses one may not expect to find in the slum, but they are there and have been localised to serve resident needs,” he said. It costs up to Sh80 to wash a heap of clothes at the laundry. The operator does not have a stateof-the-art washing machine,she uses her hands instead. “The fact that water is a problem and most people go in search of work every day gives the laundry operator business,” said Kingori. The situation is not any different in the neighbouring Korogocho and across the city in Kibera and other slum. “I make at least three beds in a week and I sell all of them. Right now I have an order to make four beds and am still working on others. All of them will go,” said carpenter Aphonse Ogutu, who runs a workshop in Viwandani slum. Each bed goes for Sh2,500.

Milia warned, “If we let her beauty return, we will remain the ugliest girls in the village. No one will want to look at us.” In fact, it didn’t take long before Salaa’s face was all clean again. She was beautiful. Milia and Ananaki could not stand this. They went to their mother and said, “Mother, we must find a way of stopping this.”“How shall we stop it?”

You can fund your tender through LPO financing
LAST WEEK’S QUESTION

SOURCING FINANCES
Hi, I am a Kenyan aged 26 and employed. However, I have won a tender to supply 700 bags of maize per week to a milling company. A bag of maize is fetching a gross profit of Sh700, but raising the seed capital is the greatest challenge. My bank cannot help either because I need security to get a loan or the process is long. I wish I could get some venture capitalist for the deal. Kindly advise. — Kubai

LET ME congratulate you for a job well done. Securing a tender is not an easy thing given the stiff competition involved. There are various options that you can consider to secure the funds required to start the business and one of them is LPO financing. This is a document sent to a supplier or vendor, authorising shipment of a product to the customer at a specified price and terms. The creation of a purchase order sets a legally binding contract which cannot be changed without the consent of both parties. LPO financing is designed for growing businesses with little access to working capital and/or cash. One of the advantages of LPO is that you do not need any form of security, especially if it is from

into debt. It is also advantageous because, unlike bank financing which relies on the credit worthiness of a business, as long as the supplier has good credit. Another institution that offers this service is Equity Bank. It finances the LPO at an agreed fee and commission but only applicable to customers who normally trade with reputable firms with good credit rating.

I got into formal employment in October 2012 and, therefore, have a steady income which I want to commit to a different venture, but not running a business.

capital outlay that would otherwise be difficult if you were to do it directly and on your own. Such funds go by different names, but the common ones in the market include balanced funds, equity funds, money market funds, bond funds, and income funds. The degree of risk varies from fund to fund and it is recommended that you understand your risk profile before investing in any. Equity funds and balanced funds are partly invested in shares, making them relatively riskier, but with a potential for aggressive growth when shares are on an upward trend. Money market funds and income funds are not invested in shares and pay interest on a regular basis. They are low-risk and ensure that the investor’s capital is preserved at all times. Bond funds are invested in various bonds and may exhibit patterns similar to those of equity and balanced funds since bond prices fluctuate upwards and downwards.

IT TAKES a lot of courage to start and run a business. Setbacks are common for many startups and your experience is not unique. However, you should not be discouraged by these setbacks. What determines whether you succeed in business or not is a good understanding of the market you intend to get into. This requires extensive research and consultation, particularly from persons who have succeeded in that line of business. The fact that you are now in formal employment means that you will have limited time to concentrate on both your business and your job. You might consider engaging a competent person to run the school business. This is likely to add a strain on your finances. Therefore, the need to evaluate the prospects of the business vis-a-vis its strengths and weaknesses and its chances of success is important lest it turns into an exercise in futility.

you an opportunity to put your money into Treasury bonds and bills, listed shares, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. The benefit is that it will not require your direct participation and effort, thereby sparing you time to focus on other things. This is because most of the tasks and choices are done by professionals in the realm of investment. However, it is good to understand the different forms of unit trusts which are tailored to meet varying investment objectives. The choice of which

unit trust fund to invest in largely depends on your objectives, which can be broadly classified under either income or growth. Having a savings plan enables you to preserve your capital while earning income by way of interest. With respect to growth, unit trust funds are also structured to enable you invest in appreciating assets such as shares of firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Note that the funds are invested in multiple assets, therefore giving you an opportunity to diversify with a relatively smaller

nspired by the desire to fight poverty among the youth while rehabilitating the environment in northeastern Brazil, Ms Lillian Silva founded Acreditar, a youth-run microfinance. Here, young entrepreneurs apply for loans by presenting business plans that focus on low environmental impact agriculture rather than sugar cane monoculture, which dominates the region. The organisation has supported over 600 small businesses in seven cities. In Thailand, Poonsap Suanmuang works with women in rural communities to create economic opportunities and prevent forest destruction. Through the Appropriate Technology Association, Poonsap trains weavers to recognise and group plants and trees that produce natural dyes. The women use these forest resources in an ecologically sustainable way to create naturally dyed, cloth-woven products. They then market the products and build relationships with customers. This approach also protects human health as chemical dyes can cause burns when handled poorly by workers besides leading to environmental pollution when dumped into rivers and lakes. More than 500 people in more than 20 villages work with Poonsap, providing women with additional income rather than relying only on remittances from their relatives in urban areas.

Environmental degradation

Social entreprneurs identify resources where people only see problems.
David Bornstein

The two businesswomen above are social entrepreneurs. “These social entrepreneurs empower communities and individuals to address environmental degradation and strengthen their local economies,” says a report from Ashoka Innovators, an organisation that promotes social entrepreneurship internationally. Just as business entrepreneurs create and transform huge industries, social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for society, seizing opportunities others miss in order to improve systems, invent and disseminate new approaches, and advance sustainable solutions that create social value. Unlike traditional investors, social entrepreneurs primarily seek to generate “social value” rather than profits. And unlike most non-profit organisations, their work is targeted not only towards immediate, small-scale effects, but rather sweeping long-term change. “Social entrepreneurs identify resources where people only see problems. They view the villagers as the solution, not the passive beneficiary.

They begin with the assumption of competence and unleash resources in the communities they’re serving,” writes David Bornstein, author of How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power Of New Ideas. In Kenya, this idea is also developing as an increasing number of business people realise the importance of social entrepreneurship. A growing number of Kenyans are using their talents to start social enterprises whose focus is the environment, health and social care, enterprise development, and education. According to Mr David Cheboryot, a social enterprise trainer at Tangaza University College in Nairobi, social entrepreneurship is a growing sector

in Kenya which is producing both economic and social benefits like creating jobs, providing training, and protecting the environment. “If you are interested in setting up a social enterprise, your chances of success will depend on how resourceful you are. You must be committed to identifying new services or products that benefit communities or society. You will need to find innovative ways to deal with often complex social problems. You will need drive and determination,” says the lecturer. Ms Jacqueline Kiage is one of this new group of investors. A programme manager and social enterprise devel-

Innovative ways

oper at Innovation Eye Centre Ltd, Ms Kiage says that acquiring basic skills in your line of business and doing research on the social needs of the people around you is a big step towards ensuring the financial sustainability of the investment. “As a social entrepreneur, I decided to set up a business that addresses social problems, meet local community needs, and to try to bring about change. However, I still use similar skills and principles that entrepreneurs in the mainstream business world use. To me, this is a good approach to business,” she says. By creating something that is commercially successful, she said social entrepreneurs “give something back”

TRAINING

Empowering social entrepreneurs
n recent years, many organisations have been coming to Kenya with the aim of supporting social entrepreneurship and tremendous progress has been made. But the potential of social entrepreneurship is far from being fully harnessed. Three institutions — Altis Post Graduate School of Business and Society, Italy, Tangaza University College, Kenya, and Loyola Institute of Business Administration of Chennai, India, entered into an international alliance to hone social

I

entrepreneurs’ skills and create sustainable enterprises through the establishment of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) course in global business and sustainability.

“The MBA programme is a ‘training camp’ for active and aspiring social entrepreneurs. It aids the entrepreneur to move from a concept to a complete and convincing business plan. We have trained about 38 social entrepreneurs and more are enrolling,” says Mr David

Cheboryot, a social enterprise trainer at Tangaza University College in Nairobi. However, not everyone can join the programme. He says that to qualify, one must have business experience or a strong business attitude, have an impacting idea of a new business or abe currently involved in the running of a small business. In addition, one must have a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and must be a Kenyan citizen or resident in Kenya, proficient in English, and experienced in the use of communication technology tools.

But just like any other kind of business, setting up a social entrepreneurship initiative is also a challenge. One has to consider finding resources, dealing with perhaps unfamiliar administrative tasks, and surviving until the business starts making income.

to society and it is through this way that they win their customers’ loyalty. This, she adds, makes starting a social business a worthwhile career path. “I believe that a society which only has business entrepreneurs would lack balance and a strong community spirit. We need social entrepreneurs who can shape opportunities and meet needs that others dismiss because it also creates a more diverse economy while still contributing to economic growth,” she told Money. Before she started her eye care business, she had to acquire basic skills in her line of business. “I enrolled for an MBA programme at Tangaza University College which I came to know through a friend. This has helped me a lot since at the end of the course you are needed to do a presentation in front of potential investors. It’s through it that I got several foreign investors who are interested in my idea.” Innovation Eye Centre, the business she founded in Kisii County, is a social enterprise committed to eliminating preventable blindness in south western Kenya targeting periurban and rural areas. Its aim is to offer services to communities through innovative, accessible, affordable, and quality comprehensive eye care services to all people irrespective of their economic status. While she is the social enterprise development programme manager at the hospital, her husband, Daniel Kiage, an eye surgeon, is the medical director and eye specialist. Mr Ronald Kefa is an up-andcoming social entrepreneur with his sights set on the construction industry. He is the director and owner of Centsible Homes Ltd, but is looking into a partnership deal with Surelink International, which has taken root and meets his social entrepreneurship goals. The company provides lowcost housing in a social and environmentally friendly manner, while at the same time providing the company with economic benefits, the hallmarks of social entrepreneurship. Mr Kefa believes in business that pursues profit while at the same time addressing social, economic, and environmental issues. “I have had a varied career which allowed me to develop technical skills and general business skills, especially in the construction industry. But I wanted to learn how people can minimise costs in the Kenyan housing market, so when I learnt about interlocking blocks, the less costly product that is now penetrating the market, I realised that it was important to obtain skills in social entrepreneurship,” he says. He adds that when he took his time to research and at the same time study for an MBA, he could see its relevance to his business. “I saw it as a chance to help create something that the community could value and enjoy. Actually, I now consider it more a vocation than a job.”

BY JOSHUA MASINDE

uriuki Njeru has always been fascinated with handicrafts, especially those made out of Kisii soapstone. Mr Njeru, who studied electrical engineering in Germany on a government scholarship, says that products made from soapstone are popular, especially in Europe. His fascination with soapstone would later open doors for him to deal in export of African art products to Europe and US. “I found soapstone products very interesting. I was fascinated by the beauty of the stone and the fact that many people would buy such products.” After his first degree, he pursued an advanced degree in computer science, then worked for information technology companies until 2005. In 2006, he and a friend established an IT firm to undertake research and development of healthcare products. Two years later, he moved back to Germany to help his wife run a gift items and handicrafts marketing company they had established years back. He said he knew many artisans back in Kenya who made the products but had no access to markets and depended on

brokers. “Our part was to come in and find a way of professionalising the handicrafts business; its production, quality control, exporting, marketing. We have done it now on a serious basis since 2003, when we formed our marketing company here in Germany,” Mr Njeru told Money. He said clients in the US would place orders for the handicrafts but there was no direct communication with the artisans or exposure by the people making it to such markets. “So, we came in to facilitate the marketing of the products and work with the artisans in Kenya to design products that are relevant to the target markets.” He said that before he began marketing artefacts full-time, he used to buy and stock them at home and many people who visited liked his collection. They would want to buy them or get contacts to enable them to buy their own. He saw a huge opportunity here and began commissioning artisans back in Kenya to make artefacts. In Tabaka, Kisii, famed for its soapstone deposits, he works with between 500 and 800 artisans. He also looks to mobilise about 500 sisal weavers in Kibwezi and Wamunyu to meet the rising demand for fabrics. “When we came up with our own line of products, people began to place big orders,” Mr Njeru said, adding that he supplies major supermarkets in the US, Europe, and Australia. “We have to produce them in large volumes because the target markets have, say, between 200

and 2,500 super malls or supermarkets and, therefore, they are looking to buy a minimum of a 40-foot container full of the products,” he said. He works with shipping lines with global networks to supply his merchandise to markets in Europe, America, Australia, and South America. He supplies two containers each month. He said he is satisfied with the way the business is doing and is targeting to generate a turnover of about Sh85 million ($1 million) this year. Mr Njeru says he used to receive many orders from southern Europe but that the market collapsed because of the eurozone crisis which eroded consumers’ purchasing power. However, other markets like

Eastern Europe and South America are showing great potential. Mr Njeru noted that the handicrafts and gift items are big business, but require innovation in product design and marketing. “When you do gift items and market them as gift products, you will find a huge market. But it lacks innovative suppliers,” he said.

ADVICE TO ENTREPRENEURS
Although China and other Asian countries are posing stiff competition and reaping big from this industry by supplying unique handicrafts to the global market, Mr Njeru urges budding entrepreneurs to be innovative. “If you are not different, nobody will notice your product,” he says.

ASK ABOUT INSURANCE

Why critical illness insurance cover is important for you
. I have a medical cover for Sh2 million. In November last year, I was hospitalized at the Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi, after a heart attack. On discharge, the insurance doctor wrote that I had hypertension for three years, which is not true since I had not told him I had high blood pressure. The insurer paid Sh500,000 only as it said it was a pre-existing condition. I have tried to contact the doctor in vain as I have a medical report from another consultant which states that I have never had high blood pressure. Could you please advise what action I can take? — FYS, Nairobi

Q

A: IT is my considered opinion that you should get in touch with the insurance company directly rather than through their doctor. Putting your case plus the consultant’s re-

port to them will open dialogue that will lead to an amicable solution. Now, concerning the information in your query, I am curious as what the Sh500,000 which was paid to you could represent. If, as you say, the insurer contended that you were hospitalised on account of a pre-existing condition, then no claim would be payable under the medical insurance policy. So is the amount paid an ex-gratia payment or just a part of insurable loss? Or could it be representing a payout under a critical illness insurance extension to the main medical policy? This looks to me like it is the latter, in which case your experience illustrates an important lesson on why critical illness cover should be important for all of us to consider.

Even without the usual tell-tale warnings, a critical illness can attack anyone. Such diseases as stroke, cancer, heart disease, or multiple sclerosis are among critical illnesses that, once diagnosed, can precipitate sudden hospitalisation and long convalescent periods. Critical illness insurance cover provides a lump sum payment upon the diagnosis of any such illness. Although dread disease policies are available on a stand-alone basis, they are normally purchased in conjunction with life cover, personal accident, or medical insurance policies. One has to be clear about the insurer’s list of dread diseases covered under their policy as this may differ from company to company. A recent trend is the widening of the list of specified dread diseases to

include many medical conditions that could precipitate incapacity. With increased prevalence of degenerative diseases in our society, one requires little persuasion to purchase critical illness cover. Higher standards of living have resulted in alarming incidents of livelihood-related ailments, making healthcare concerns a vital consideration of any wise person. Age plays a critical role in this regard as risk of ill health increases with one’s age. The lump sum benefit from critical illness cover would come in handy to help meet a variety of contingencies. I emphasise that it is crucial to understand your insurer’s offering of this cover as it comes in various forms and conditions. For example, when critical illness cover is sold as a rider on a life

policy, there are policies that provide a reduced sum payable on death if there has been an earlier critical illness claim. This is why it is important to understand the conditions under which a critical illness claim becomes payable and its implications on the rest of your life insurance or other main cover. As for your medical insurance policy (the subject matter of the query), let me trust that by engaging the insurer directly, you will be able to resolve the issue. — ISAAC NG’ARU

We have restored electricity to your home
I wrote to you in November last year complaining about electricity supply to my home. Then, I sought to bring out the suffering of the people of Rongo at the hands of Kenya Power. We lost electricity for over three weeks and we reported this to the local Kenya Power customer service centre. We called the utility company’s service line many times for help in vain. Later, we were told that the transformer was damaged. Frustrated by this state, we got in touch with the customer care office in Nairobi and were promised that we would have power before the end of the day, but this did not happen. Some of us run businesses using electricity and the company has simply put us out of employment. To date, we are still out of power. Kindly, highlight our plight and help us find a solution to this problem. — Paul Hi Paul. Thank you for getting in touch with us again about your suffering. It is unfortunate that you have been waiting so long to get your electricity connection restored. As you may have noticed, it has taken us more than two weeks to respond to this matter. We are, however, happy to inform you that we finally have a response. On communicating with the electricity distributor, it stated that the long delay was caused by the challenge of getting an immediate replacement transformer of the same capacity with that which was serving your area. But the company said that it finally managed to buy one. According to it, the faulty transformer was replaced on March 3 this year. It is, therefore, our understanding that you now have power supply. The company says that it regrets any Can the NHIF clarify what happened? Kamau. — Samuel Hallo Kamau. It is unfortunate that you have had to wait this long to know the status of your claim. We communicated with the national health insurer on your behalf as requested. The fund stated that the claim number you gave does not exist. With your NHIF number, however, the guarantor retrieved three claims. Two of them were for Nairobi Women’s Hospital and the other for St Teresa Maternity and Nursing home. According to the national health insurer, these claims were paid to the hospital because the person used his/her NHIF card. The insurer, however, urged you to contact it so that it can help you get to the bottom of your complaint.

DURABILITY» WIND TURBINES CAN RUN FOR OVER 20 YEARS IF MAINTAINED WELL

Harvard University team on mission to light up rural homes
Group of engineers seeks to tap solar and wind energy to provide cheap electricity to lowincome houses in Kenya
any Kenyans dream of getting their homes connected to the electric power grid. For many, this remains just that; a dream. But things may soon change if a team of engineers from Harvard University has its way. These engineers are determined to see rural homes across Kenya gain access to affordable power and clean water from wells and boreholes. One of the team experts, 26year-old Sam Slaughter, the brains behind WindGen Power East Africa Limited, says the team aims to enable Kenyans to put the provision of energy in their own hands since access to electricity can transform the country. “Renewable energy can be used for pumping water, powering completely off-grid homes, providing power backup from on-grids, and offering low-cost lighting solutions,” said Mr Slaughter. WindGen Power, a project initiated two years ago, provides access to reliable and affordable renewable energy using the limitless power of the wind and the sun. “We enable those living, working, and learn-

ing off-grid to enjoy the benefits of power,” he notes. He says that the main power grid serves just 18 per cent of Kenya’s population, which means that an estimated 30 million people have to contend with environmentaldamaging fuels like kerosene, firewood, charcoal, diesel, and dry cell batteries. Mr Slaughter says renewable energy is an excellent option for people living off-grid since it is a comprehensive power solution that does not require an expensive, noisy, and polluting generator. With a turnover of Sh15 million from Sh1 million seed capital, the company has made great strides in commercialising small Kenyanmade wind turbines. The station has 15 employees. Mr Slaughter says the company has made 35 installations of renewable power stations in rural Kenya. Conversely, the wind turbines are designed based on the specific needs, budget, and site characteristics of the customer. He says the company’s mission is to harness East Africa’s renewable energy using robust and affordable products to bring clean energy to homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses. According to engineer Alastair Smith, an expert working for the energy firm, water pumping in particular is of crucial importance for the Kenyan economy, especially in agriculture. “Water pumping with solar and in some cases wind, can be extremely efficient and cost-effective. Once installed, the system requires no refuelling, which saves immensely on operating costs and logistical

Robust and affordable

SOME BENEFICIARIES Most of the installations have been done in the Kajiado and Narok areas, for instance Naserian Primary School in the Kapiti plains, which serves 289 pupils, and the Maasai Mara Cultural Centre in Merrueshi near Emali town, Makueni County. The wind turbine gives the centre energy for lighting and refrigeration. The Rift Valley Children’s Village is another beneficiary.

challenges related to fuel transportation,” he said. He says the systems are most useful in rural areas, where water is needed for domestic use and farming, but are not connected to the national grid. Increased deployment of such systems, he adds, would go a long way in achieving Kenya’s development goals by increasing agricultural output, decreasing carbon emissions, and increasing renewable energy penetration. A key advantage of the wind turbines is that they can operate for more than 20 years if well maintained. The water pumps are reliable and designed to operate with

little or no maintenance and can run directly from the company’s turbine without the need for battery backup. The wind turbines, he says, are more affordable than imports. Installation costs between Sh10,000 and Sh20,000, depending on size, type, and use. “We deploy renewable energy technology to take advantage of resources such as solar and wind, which the region possesses in abundance, and in doing so we enable homeowners, communities, governments, and business to utilise clean and free sources of energy,” says Mr Smith.

Growing rich is the outcome of your state of the mind
AFTER examining the lives of 800 most successful men and women and over 25,000 failures in his time, Napoleon Hill concluded in his Philosophy of Achievement that wealth is first a state of the mind. That it is an impulse of thought, transmuted through the power of desire and faith into physical equivalents such as real estate and industries or just personal success as in sports. For example, while he had acquired all the information from real life examples that formed his philosophy of personal achievement and taught these principles at various universities, he had not been baptised by failure, a key psychological transition one cannot acquire in any other way. His subsequent publication, Outwitting the Devil, introduces this reality through his personal experience. He burnt his bridges to acquire personal insight by overcoming fear to create enormous success. He espouses how the great depression forced him into being broke. That induced him to apply the principles he had taught for years to rise from temporary failure. This psychological gap between those who have acquired personal insight and those who continue to nurse fear is an indomitable bridge between failure and success. You, the youth of Kenya, need to know that the two top presidential candidates in the General Election were mentored in an environment of power and wealth. They promised you jobs which, if actualised, would bring home a salary for subsistence and lifestyle maintenance. It will not generate visions — the deep desire for success — plans, or persistence to achieve what they have. Remember that nine in every 10 of your present-day elders worked all their life, then retired to depend on a pension. Is it not ironical that their sons and daughters are following in their footsteps, unable to see anything wrong with it. You were also promised seed capital to fund business ventures to build wealth, another partial solution for the less than 10 per cent of youths who were socialised or mentored by people whose lives have demonstrated how to bridge the psychological gap. The larger proportion grew up in families that mentored them to know only one formula — get a college degree or diploma to enable you to get a job. Fellow parents, wealth begins with visualising a desired state of riches in future, following a definite plan in small steps to transmute it to tangibles, and persisting in the face of temporary failure to develop insight. How is your family mentoring your life?
